[2026-06-28T01:04:12Z] <midfavila> the fucking steam machine is 1500 bucks for the 500gb model 
[2026-06-28T01:04:20Z] <midfavila> i understand that prices are high right now but fuck off
[2026-06-28T01:04:55Z] <midfavila> i was able to put together an i7 box with 32gb of memory and the same amount of storage in a bespoke mitx chassis with a 2070 ti for under a grand 
[2026-06-28T01:25:34Z] <stilic> the prices are high because of all those llm users pollulating our feeds/the environment with slop and such
[2026-06-28T01:25:57Z] <stilic> it's only going to get worse for every platform, every console
[2026-06-28T01:26:20Z] <stilic> and the average doesn't build their own pcs btw
[2026-06-28T01:26:26Z] <stilic> (like me)
[2026-06-28T01:28:44Z] <stilic> direct your energy towards them, not valve
[2026-06-28T12:25:19Z] <kris_> well well well, if it isn't #kisslinux
[2026-06-28T12:26:17Z] <kris_> i ended up routing soju through tor, not as big of a deal as i figured itd be
[2026-06-28T12:26:53Z] <kris_> when they inevitably block that too, i added a require-sasl option to soju so the cloak shouldnt be able to slip
[2026-06-28T12:30:59Z] <kris_> i still have a handful of things i need to do but seems to work fine
[2026-06-28T12:31:56Z] <gentoouser1337> damn kris is back
[2026-06-28T12:35:21Z] <kris_> i dont recognize your name
[2026-06-28T12:52:19Z] <kris_> this is pretty cool actually
[2026-06-28T12:52:27Z] <kris_> albeit slow
[2026-06-28T23:12:33Z] <kris_> midfavila: gm
[2026-06-28T23:21:05Z] <midfavila> whoa
[2026-06-28T23:21:07Z] <midfavila> it's kris_ 
[2026-06-28T23:21:14Z] <midfavila> did you get unbanished from the shadow realm
[2026-06-28T23:26:35Z] <kris_> they wouldn't unblock airvpn so my bouncer now goes through tor
[2026-06-28T23:27:12Z] <midfavila> there you go
[2026-06-28T23:27:14Z] <midfavila> adapt and overcome
[2026-06-28T23:27:26Z] <kris_> they're still jackasses 
[2026-06-28T23:27:45Z] <midfavila> gasp
[2026-06-28T23:27:47Z] <midfavila> how uncouth
[2026-06-28T23:28:58Z] <midfavila> btw did you see the price of valve's new PC
[2026-06-28T23:29:07Z] <midfavila> it's a fucking joke
[2026-06-28T23:29:35Z] <kris_> yeah i did
[2026-06-28T23:29:42Z] <kris_> also FUCK this is slow
[2026-06-28T23:29:50Z] <kris_> i wonder if i can reduce the amount of hops this uses 
[2026-06-28T23:30:26Z] <kris_> iuf i were valve i just wouldnt have released that if they couldnt make it cheaper
[2026-06-28T23:32:19Z] <midfavila> yeah
[2026-06-28T23:32:25Z] <midfavila> CAD1500 for that just isn't worth it
[2026-06-28T23:32:42Z] <midfavila> i appreciate that miniaturisation is challenging and that the market is shit rn but yeah 
[2026-06-28T23:32:45Z] <midfavila> just delay it
[2026-06-28T23:32:57Z] <midfavila> this is supposed to be a "PC for console players" 
[2026-06-28T23:33:04Z] <midfavila> not a fucking PC for PC players
[2026-06-28T23:33:17Z] <midfavila> the whole thing is that consoles are supposed to be cheap
[2026-06-28T23:33:35Z] <kris_> supposed to be
[2026-06-28T23:34:44Z] <kris_> idk i dont think anyone is going to buy that
[2026-06-28T23:37:52Z] <kris_> the bandwidth over tor actually isn't too bad
[2026-06-28T23:38:01Z] <kris_> but the delay between me hitting enter and my message sending is kinda impressive
[2026-06-28T23:39:15Z] <kris_> also i bought another ps3
[2026-06-28T23:39:26Z] <kris_> this time a version that doesn't require a hardware mod to custom firmware, i might be obsessed
[2026-06-28T23:41:17Z] <kris_> pine64 is also working on a new smartwatch i might pick up when it releases
[2026-06-28T23:41:41Z] <midfavila> weh? 
[2026-06-28T23:41:43Z] <midfavila> why? 
[2026-06-28T23:41:47Z] <midfavila> is it an e-paper model at least?
[2026-06-28T23:41:51Z] <kris_> because i like my pinetime
[2026-06-28T23:41:54Z] <kris_> and no it isnt
[2026-06-28T23:42:19Z] <kris_> my current one does its job though, i have my phone on vibrate so sometimes i dont notice texts so a watch that also vibrates and tells me who it's from is nice
[2026-06-28T23:42:25Z] <kris_> because depending on who it is i might just ignore it
