[2026-07-17T05:13:15Z] <kris_> the aliexpress battery seems really good
[2026-07-17T05:14:33Z] <kris_> before ive even replaced the internal battery, i set up a loop to just compile linux 6.18 over and over until it ran out of juice to reset the battery gauge or w/e
[2026-07-17T05:14:41Z] <kris_> 3 hours and 40 minutes roughly of just full cpu load
[2026-07-17T05:35:31Z] <Ozymandias42> moin kris_ 
[2026-07-17T05:35:35Z] <kris_> helo
[2026-07-17T05:35:45Z] <Ozymandias42> how are you
[2026-07-17T05:35:55Z] <Ozymandias42> have you seen the jsonenv thing I made?
[2026-07-17T05:36:22Z] <kris_> i think i saw you post it in the cafe but ive not looked
[2026-07-17T05:36:32Z] <kris_> i see the link up above though i think
[2026-07-17T05:36:41Z] <Ozymandias42> yeah. posted it here too
[2026-07-17T05:46:08Z] <kris_> Ozymandias42: what is this for?
[2026-07-17T05:46:11Z] <kris_> i think i'm missing context
[2026-07-17T05:46:29Z] <kris_> nevermind literally your next message after the link
[2026-07-17T05:46:35Z] <kris_> i see, could be useful
[2026-07-17T05:46:42Z] <Ozymandias42> mainly so for easier working with PATH or DIR variables without having to do output transformation first
[2026-07-17T05:46:56Z] <Ozymandias42> shells like Powershell or nushell have this built in
[2026-07-17T05:47:10Z] <Ozymandias42> if you call their `env` variants you get proper object output 
[2026-07-17T05:48:22Z] <Ozymandias42> ..well party at least. they only do proper PATH splitting into an array of paths for PATH I think
[2026-07-17T08:07:14Z] <midfavila> having mate tea for the first time
[2026-07-17T08:07:16Z] <midfavila> kind of goes crazy
[2026-07-17T08:40:12Z] <Ozymandias42> mate is very rich in caffeine. no surprise there. 
[2026-07-17T08:40:40Z] <midfavila> yeah i saw it can compete with coffee in terms of caffeine content
[2026-07-17T08:40:44Z] <midfavila> but i meant in terms of flavour
[2026-07-17T08:40:46Z] <midfavila> this is like
[2026-07-17T08:40:48Z] <midfavila> a "chai" mate
[2026-07-17T08:41:02Z] <midfavila> i'm just having it with a little honey and it's like
[2026-07-17T08:41:05Z] <midfavila> really really really good
[2026-07-17T08:41:22Z] <midfavila> i had mate for the first time the other day and it was just some canned stuff, which was already decent, but this is way better
[2026-07-17T08:42:00Z] <Ozymandias42> I'd like to try this kind of mate too at some point. sounds delicious
[2026-07-17T08:49:19Z] <Ozymandias42> it's kinda fascinating how the chinese 茶 (cha) has travelled. In India it has become chai, in japan it's o-cha for green and ko-cha for black tea. and in china itself it has stayed as cha. 
[2026-07-17T08:49:19Z] <Ozymandias42> But now we see different kinds of tea with all using the same root word. ..and root ingredient in tea-bush leaves. 
[2026-07-17T08:49:19Z] <Ozymandias42> indian chai is merely spiced black tea. 
[2026-07-17T08:49:19Z] <Ozymandias42> japanese green tea お茶 (o-cha) is black tea but the plant using non-dried leaves. Macha is green tea with the plant being covered for a few weeks before harvest to increase chlorophyl content and then grinding the leaves into a powder
[2026-07-17T08:49:45Z] <midfavila> yah
[2026-07-17T08:50:03Z] <midfavila> but i think in english specifically chai is really only associated with indian-style spiced tea
[2026-07-17T08:50:08Z] <midfavila> or like that specific blend of spices
[2026-07-17T08:50:09Z] <Ozymandias42> yep
[2026-07-17T08:51:11Z] <Ozymandias42> which is also an interesting thing. similar to in english, all plant leave based hot drinks are called tea in german too, while french has a distinct word for that if it's not made from actual tea
[2026-07-17T08:58:02Z] <midfavila> yeah
[2026-07-17T12:48:23Z] <dery> midfavila: i initially read matcha and went "hahaha labubu starbucks"
[2026-07-17T12:49:41Z] <kris_> no way its dery
[2026-07-17T12:50:01Z] <dery> hiiiiii
[2026-07-17T14:12:30Z] <midfavila> dery: i also drink matcha
[2026-07-17T14:12:33Z] <midfavila> it's yummy
[2026-07-17T14:12:42Z] <midfavila> i'm trying to play bibeo bames and it's fucking pissing me off
[2026-07-17T14:13:04Z] <midfavila> these fuckin GAMERS and their stupid windoze shitware can't get anything to work right
[2026-07-17T14:14:13Z] <midfavila> tryna install some mods for the new armored core game to make it less like a dark souls game and more like an armored core game and apparently fromsoft loads all of their parameters from one file, which, fair enough, whatever, it's a giant csv database, who cares
[2026-07-17T14:14:41Z] <midfavila> but then the suggested approach to load multiple mods is to download this program called smithbox and use it to export relevant csv "sheets" from each mod
[2026-07-17T14:14:44Z] <midfavila> *at*
[2026-07-17T14:14:45Z] <midfavila> *a*
[2026-07-17T14:14:47Z] <midfavila> *time*
[2026-07-17T14:14:49Z] <midfavila> *one*
[2026-07-17T14:14:58Z] <midfavila> so i figure whatever we'll do that
[2026-07-17T14:15:09Z] <midfavila> and it takes me like a fucking hour because GUI
[2026-07-17T14:15:29Z] <kris_> midfavila: gm
[2026-07-17T14:15:31Z] <midfavila> and i finally get everything done and i open the menu that lets you merge external data to the current mod
[2026-07-17T14:15:35Z] <midfavila> and it fucking CRASHES
[2026-07-17T14:15:37Z] <midfavila> smithbox
[2026-07-17T14:15:40Z] <midfavila> more like fucking SHITBOX
[2026-07-17T14:15:43Z] * midfavila screams
[2026-07-17T14:16:06Z] <midfavila> and apparently this has been a known issue for literally years and nobody has fixed it
[2026-07-17T14:16:10Z] <midfavila> what the actual fuck 
[2026-07-17T14:16:16Z] <midfavila> also hi kris_ 
[2026-07-17T14:19:34Z] <midfavila> https://bsky.app/profile/apoapsis.bsky.social/post/3lucam5tnzk2j dery 
[2026-07-17T14:19:41Z] <kris_> helo
[2026-07-17T14:35:28Z] <midfavila> yeah i give up 
[2026-07-17T14:35:31Z] <midfavila> fuck you fromsoft modders
[2026-07-17T14:35:33Z] <midfavila> fix your shit
[2026-07-17T14:36:08Z] <midfavila> this is why i need to actually sit down and learn awk properly 
[2026-07-17T14:36:22Z] <midfavila> i'm sure i could just merge these files using an awk program or something
[2026-07-17T17:20:22Z] <dery> midfavila: OMG labubu missile mentioned!!!!
[2026-07-17T17:20:28Z] <dery> GO MY LABUBU MISSILE, KILL!
