[2026-05-22T00:01:34Z] <kris_> dery: itll persist the base system stuff
[2026-05-22T00:01:38Z] <kris_> my issue was the wireguard stuff that wasnt base
[2026-05-22T00:06:32Z] <dery> kris_: you can add custom etc files to the config
[2026-05-22T00:06:38Z] <dery> sorry for disconnecting, I updated the router :P
[2026-05-22T00:06:47Z] <kris_> all good brother
[2026-05-22T00:06:58Z] <dery> was hella quick
[2026-05-22T00:06:59Z] <kris_> im not particularly concerned about it, openwrt doesnt really have any benefits for me
[2026-05-22T00:07:07Z] <kris_> luci just pisses me off
[2026-05-22T00:07:18Z] <dery> why
[2026-05-22T00:07:27Z] <dery> like, fair and all but I think it's the best feature of it all
[2026-05-22T00:07:34Z] <kris_> because as opposed to just editing the configs for things directly i have to navigate an abstraction
[2026-05-22T00:07:55Z] <dery> wait are you pissed of about LUCI, UCI or both
[2026-05-22T00:08:03Z] <kris_> all of it, really
[2026-05-22T00:08:04Z] <dery> LUCI is the UI, UCI is the custom config thing
[2026-05-22T00:08:15Z] <kris_> like for dhcp for example id really like to just >edit /etc/dhcpd.conf
[2026-05-22T00:08:19Z] <kris_> and that's all there is to it
[2026-05-22T00:08:24Z] <dery> aight I see
[2026-05-22T00:08:34Z] <kris_> i dont want that to be taken as me thinking it's bad it's just not for me
[2026-05-22T00:08:40Z] <dery> yea makes sense
[2026-05-22T00:08:45Z] <kris_> like
[2026-05-22T00:08:49Z] <kris_> hang on let me DM you something
[2026-05-22T00:13:47Z] <dery> honestly I kinda get it
[2026-05-22T00:13:52Z] <dery> it's a bit like the Nix thing
[2026-05-22T00:14:12Z] <dery> you're trusting an abstraction to have an unified configuration interface
[2026-05-22T00:14:24Z] <dery> wait
[2026-05-22T00:14:31Z] <dery> doesn't UCI mean that lmao
[2026-05-22T00:14:35Z] <kris_> yes lol
[2026-05-22T00:14:40Z] <kris_> i think
[2026-05-22T00:14:53Z] <dery> yup
[2026-05-22T00:14:55Z] <dery> just looked it up
[2026-05-22T00:14:58Z] <dery> lmfao
[2026-05-22T00:15:06Z] <dery> well it's just a matter of requirements and tradeoffs
[2026-05-22T00:15:18Z] <dery> and it's fine really
[2026-05-22T00:15:33Z] <dery> also tf, they're switching from posix shell scripts to their own scripting language
[2026-05-22T00:15:39Z] <dery> SACRILEGE!!! xD
[2026-05-22T00:15:43Z] <kris_> tf
[2026-05-22T00:15:47Z] <dery> also inspired by javascript lol
[2026-05-22T00:15:50Z] <kris_> tf
[2026-05-22T00:15:54Z] <dery> https://ucode.mein.io/
[2026-05-22T00:15:56Z] <kris_> they couldve just used lua or execline
[2026-05-22T00:16:01Z] <kris_> i would figure anyway
[2026-05-22T00:16:28Z] <kris_> or yeah perl like they mention here
[2026-05-22T00:16:30Z] * kris_ kinda likes perl
[2026-05-22T00:16:44Z] <dery> apparently it kinda grew out of a templating language and since they worked so much with json and their own custom system bus
[2026-05-22T00:16:51Z] <dery> they made their own thing
[2026-05-22T00:16:56Z] <dery> or at least this is my very basic understanding of it
[2026-05-22T00:17:15Z] <kris_> interesting
[2026-05-22T00:19:12Z] <dery> yea it's really cool to see them making their own tailor-made software stack in general
[2026-05-22T00:19:36Z] <dery> it's really an interesting environment with an unusual set of constraints I think
[2026-05-22T00:20:10Z] <dery> it's really optimized to be an applicance
[2026-05-22T00:23:35Z] <kris_> yeah i mean im more or less cool with that
[2026-05-22T00:23:43Z] <kris_> openbsd is so good for this because its all their own stuff
[2026-05-22T00:23:48Z] <kris_> cohesive
[2026-05-22T00:35:03Z] <kris_> i hav peanut noodles and arizona sweet tea
[2026-05-22T05:02:41Z] <midfavila> https://www.crowdsupply.com/modos-tech/modos-flow
[2026-05-22T05:02:50Z] <midfavila> babe wake up new epaper monitor just dropped
[2026-05-22T05:03:00Z] <midfavila> 3200x2400 in a 13.3" panel is crazy
[2026-05-22T05:07:47Z] <midfavila> time to figure out how to shove this into a reform
[2026-05-22T05:08:08Z] <midfavila> looks like it has a touch and digitiser layer as well
[2026-05-22T05:15:17Z] <kris_> what's the appeal of epaper
[2026-05-22T05:17:42Z] <midfavila> better for text and doesn't strain my eyes 
[2026-05-22T08:31:56Z] <midfavila> man we got mfing ebola coming in now too 
[2026-05-22T08:31:59Z] <midfavila> what the fuck is 2026
[2026-05-22T08:32:02Z] <midfavila> can we just go back to 2020
[2026-05-22T08:32:09Z] <midfavila> i can cope with covid
[2026-05-22T08:32:11Z] <midfavila> covid is familiar
[2026-05-22T08:32:19Z] <midfavila> the routine was doable
[2026-05-22T08:32:21Z] <midfavila> now we got fuckin
[2026-05-22T08:32:23Z] <midfavila> scurvy
[2026-05-22T08:32:23Z] <midfavila> TB
[2026-05-22T08:32:28Z] <midfavila> ricketts
[2026-05-22T08:32:30Z] <midfavila> hantavirus
[2026-05-22T08:32:33Z] <midfavila> ebola
[2026-05-22T08:32:42Z] <midfavila> what's next, we see fucking zika come back to strike again
[2026-05-22T08:32:53Z] <midfavila> the one that makes you fucking cry blood or whatever
[2026-05-22T08:34:35Z] <kris_> whats even happening with hanta people keep talking about it
[2026-05-22T08:34:43Z] <kris_> doesnt that shit basically not spread at all
[2026-05-22T08:35:58Z] <midfavila> basically not 
[2026-05-22T08:36:02Z] <midfavila> but i'm tired of this shit 
[2026-05-22T08:36:11Z] <midfavila> just fucking GOVERN 
[2026-05-22T08:36:16Z] <midfavila> why the FUCK do we pay taxes
[2026-05-22T08:36:30Z] <midfavila> STOP fucking around and just medically imprison people with serious illnesses holy FUCK
[2026-05-22T08:36:50Z] <midfavila> that's half the reason TB wasn't a public menace here for the latter half of the 1900s 
[2026-05-22T08:38:12Z] <midfavila> "oh but mid that could lead to a backslide on civil liberties and something something something something" who fucking cares
[2026-05-22T08:38:34Z] <midfavila> we already have mass surveillance and borderline precrime in much of the west to an extent that would make orwell blush
[2026-05-22T08:38:45Z] <midfavila> any meaningful freedom we might have is fucking gone
[2026-05-22T08:38:50Z] <midfavila> might as well get something useful out of it all
[2026-05-22T08:39:08Z] <midfavila> that's what they should have done when it came to covid
[2026-05-22T08:39:48Z] <midfavila> put everyone on unemployment benefits for a month, close the borders to anything that isn't strictly essential, institute strict screening for everything coming in and going out, and just fucking imprison anyone who gets uppity about it
[2026-05-22T08:39:54Z] <midfavila> fucking done
[2026-05-22T08:39:58Z] <midfavila> use the military if you need to
[2026-05-22T08:40:04Z] <midfavila> jesus christ
[2026-05-22T08:41:46Z] <midfavila> *fuck*
