[01:04:32] * Bytram is trying to locate a readable font for HexChat that differentiates 1iIl| and also shows under_scores (not just in the text I see while I type, but in the lines that have already displayed)

[01:24:24] <Runaway1956> Bytram - I feel a little dumb right this moment
[01:24:39] <Runaway1956> we're using the same client - my font is monospace something
[01:24:47] <Runaway1956> lemme look a little deeper
[01:25:31] <Runaway1956> It just says monospace, size 11, nothing more specific
[01:25:55] <Bytram> Settings > Preferences > Interface > Appearance > General > Font > Monospace 9
[01:26:26] <Runaway1956> You're on a Windows machine, right?
[01:26:58] <Bytram> ^^^ that's what i have right now. I could read a smaller font, but even at 9, I'm losing underscores in 'posted' text
[01:27:03] <Runaway1956> I'm on a pretty large screen and I had to increase size to 11 because whatever default was, wasn't big enough
[01:27:27] <requerdanos> I must be blind, I have my font size in hexchat set to 19
[01:27:40] <Runaway1956> Lemme flip around between system fonts, see what might help
[01:28:13] <Bytram> I was, am now on Ubuntu Mate 20.04.1 LTS 64-bit
[01:28:34] <Runaway1956> 1iIl| a
[01:29:02] <Bytram> HUNTER2
[01:29:21] <requerdanos> O0B8
[01:30:00] <Bytram> those all look great at 9, except no underscore visible here
[01:31:38] <requerdanos> You can't see Under_Scores when people type them... or you want underscores to appear by some process which I do not understand?
[01:31:48] <Runaway1956> Noto Sans Medium 11
[01:32:20] <Runaway1956> _O0B81iIl|
[01:32:21] <Bytram> these_words_are_separated_by_underscores
[01:32:34] <Runaway1956> and I see them just fine from here
[01:32:44] <requerdanos> yes, they are.
[01:32:47] <Bytram> I see then when I type them, but not when they are displayed, here
[01:34:10] <requerdanos> ah! I now see what you are talking about. Testing with DejaVu Sans Mono, size 9, and the underscores poof, disappear
[01:34:11] <Bytram> I using Monospace 9 -- I'd be fine at Monospace 8, even, but I do not see underscores at 9 and at 10 it feels like I'm wasting a lot of screen space
[01:34:13] <Runaway1956> a search isn't very helpful - they don't display characters in the examples - lemme look some more in my system fonts
[01:34:37] <requerdanos> however looks great when using Camingo Code 9
[01:34:41] <Bytram> can type chars in the examples? At least I could
[01:35:31] <Runaway1956> No, I meant an internet search for easy-to-read fonts
[01:35:48] <Runaway1956> their samples all look good, but they don't include characters
[01:35:57] <Bytram> seems I do not have that font avail (Camingo Code)
[01:36:24] <Bytram> I can type in the example area on HexChat

[01:36:47] <requerdanos> put the .ttf file(s) in ~/.fonts
[01:37:51] <Bytram> okaaay... you are aware that loading fonts helps with fingerprinting one's browser, right?
[01:38:16] <Runaway1956> Yes - don't use the fonts in your browser, you can set them individually
[01:38:28] <requerdanos> I use "waterfox on Linux" so I am pretty uniquely fingerprinted already
[01:39:14] <Runaway1956> Not sure about waterfox, but firefox and chrome have canvas fingerprint defender addons
[01:39:18] <Runaway1956> font defender
[01:39:37] <Runaway1956> and webgl defender
[01:39:50] <Bytram> interesting, tx 4 that
[01:39:51] <Runaway1956> each of them sends a fake UA when queried
[01:40:23] <Runaway1956> That's 3 different addons - to be installed separately for maximum benefit
[01:46:42] * Bytram misses palemoon -- had that set up just right
[01:47:07] <AzumaHazuki> i've got firefox with a bunch of extensions and a spoofed user agent...common enough
[01:47:20] <Runaway1956> I can't remember - do you have access to the hard drive with palemoon on it?
[01:47:37] <Runaway1956> I've copied my palemoon profile through 4 different new installations now
[01:48:04] <Runaway1956> not even the same distribution on all of them
[01:48:15] <Bytram> windows 7 pro x64 install, yes
[01:48:53] <Runaway1956> You could try it - migrate the profile - it would take me awhile to find how to do it again

[01:53:36] * FatPhil always wondered why a browser should be telling the world that I run linux on a POWER system, with some particular set of packages installed. User agents were almost designed to be evil. Or incompetence, as softies were involved.
[01:53:37] <Runaway1956> Go to (Firefox Profile Folder)\bookmarkbackups
[01:53:37] <Runaway1956> Copy the latest file to the desktop (or memorize the location)

[01:53:37] <Runaway1956> That's it!
[01:54:10] <Runaway1956> Ahhhh, that's just bookmarks,
[01:54:51] <AzumaHazuki> who the hell knows? at this point i'm out of trust for basically the entire human race bar my mother and my girlfriend
[01:55:17] <FatPhil> I believe you
[01:55:52] <Runaway1956> The way I did it, was to copy ~.moonchild_productions from one hard drive to the other
[01:56:27] <Runaway1956> That gets everything - but it's likely to overwrite your "new" profile on the current machine
[01:57:15] <Runaway1956> In that folder, I have two subfolders, one for basilisk, one for pale moon

[02:11:17] <Runaway1956> Nevermind - it is a truetype

[02:37:56] <Bytram> because there was only one browser, and everything worked, until it didn't when another browser was created and one 'bright' idea persisted way beyond any value that quick-and-dirty solution provided?

[02:52:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, i've had enough of this election stealing voter fraud nonsense. i'm going to dc and raising hell until they acknowledge that kanye won and all this trump/biden stuff is a smokescreen.
[03:13:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> some folks is down on biden for pulling 25k troops into DC for the inauguration but not me. i heartily approve. it shows a proper level of fear of the citizenry by its government.

[18:24:39] <raxas> oh, eve online! one of those games I was never rich enough to play seriously
[18:35:09] <Fnord666> Time wise or is it pay to win, if there is such a thing as winning? I know it went free to play several years ago
[18:35:49] <Fnord666> The article is interesting in that it sounds like a lot of the code, developed many many years ago, is single threaded.
[18:36:30] <Fnord666> And I believe Moore's Law has sort of stalled in the progress of individual core performance
[18:41:41] <raxas> both. all online games are greedy for time. and "free to play" almost always means "impossible to win anything" and "burn money" means "almost impossible to win anything"
[18:43:07] <raxas> there are exceptions though, like Fallout76, no need to burn too much money to have real fun. still burns time

[19:22:58] <Runaway1956> https://twitter.com
[19:23:47] <FatPhil> All the tourists I see around town are millennials and gen-zs
[19:25:53] <Rasputin> 55 Americans have died following COVID vaccinations, 29 in Norway
[19:26:04] <FatPhil> boomers normally arrive in their thousands on cruise ships, and as you can imagine, that's rather a rare sight.
[19:26:29] <FatPhil> in the time that 29 died in norway, 400 of that demographic would be expected to die in norway.
[19:26:52] <FatPhil> you'd need to prove that they were excess deaths for the stat to mean anything.
[19:27:01] <Runaway1956> Are those boomers all overweight fatphil?
[19:27:26] <FatPhil> not the ones who get off the boat, they like a walk around town, so are the fitter ones.
[19:27:46] <requerdanos> millions have died after smallpox vaccinations. It's all relative.
[19:27:46] <Rasputin> Those are people who died of complications after a COVID vaccine, phil, my son.
[19:28:03] <FatPhil> Rasputin: I saw what you typed, did you see what I typed?
[19:28:11] <Bytram> maybe it's something like the fabled place where elephants^W covid cases go to die?

[19:28:59] * Runaway1956 can only dream of a shipload of Americans who aren't phat.
[19:29:39] <Rasputin> Don't you use that tone of type with me PhatPhil!
[19:29:39] <FatPhil> we don't get so many americans to be honest. now there's a middle-class in china I think they're our biggest baltic cruisers.
[19:31:08] * Runaway1956 thinks most Muricans prefer hot and sweaty climes like Mexico, Bermuda, and the Mediterranean
[19:33:00] <FatPhil> There's definitely some of that. However, the Baltic is considered very cultural and historic, and the Americans do like that. St. Petersburg of course has that forbidden mystique too.
[19:33:30] <FatPhil> I think both of our flats are older than your country!
[19:34:19] <Runaway1956> If you patched a flat, would you have a real apartment?
[19:36:45] <FatPhil> that depends on how you distinguish the two. There are only 2 flats accessible from the outer doors in both places, so we're not exactly tenements. (probably a spello, it's not in my active written vocab)
[19:38:43] <requerdanos> punny joke about flat tyres vs. flats vs. apartments

[19:40:47] <FatPhil> Laws are laws, and I guess abiding by them would make sense, assuming you actually like law and order.

[19:41:46] <requerdanos> only a subset of laws seem to be involved with 'law and order' -- there are enough laws that we are breaking some right now, with negligible effect on 'order'
[19:42:28] <Runaway1956> I can almost read that - Italians are revolting?
[19:43:02] <requerdanos> over the coronarestrictions?
[19:44:12] <Runaway1956> Well, quarantines were grossly mishandled from day one, so not much point in continuing to mishandle them
[19:44:44] <requerdanos> you mean "bold governments took decisive action to protect their populations," right?
[19:48:22] <Runaway1956> There was indeed a small handful of "bold governments" taking decisive action
[19:48:45] <Runaway1956> Those were far outnumbered by inept governments sitting around wondering WTF was going on
[19:48:58] <requerdanos> fair enough.
[19:49:43] <requerdanos> iirc Italy's government was pretty bold.
[19:51:52] <FatPhil> Only after they'd sent their toxic shits all over the rest of europe and infected them.
[19:52:09] <FatPhil> Almost all of our early cases were brought in from Italy.
[19:52:23] <requerdanos> well, now you're reading words into what I said. Like 'effective' and 'competent'
[19:54:31] <Bytram> Runaway1956: your comment about overweight boomers sent me down a rabbit hole: (1) https://en.wikipedia.org and (2) https://en.wikipedia.org

[19:54:33] <systemd> ^ 03Human body weight - Wikipedia
[19:54:35] <FatPhil> Half-arsed quarantines are almost entirely pointless. Responsible self-aware behaviour all the time is ten times more effective than not letting people out of their houses until the limited times where they're all allowed and desperate to get out, and letting them all go to only a limited number of places.

[19:56:05] <requerdanos> "well known" implies knowledge; "no doubts" implies that there is not doubt. Thanks for playing, though. Lovely consolation prizes for you backstage, like Lee Press On Nails.
[19:56:20] <raxas> I have no doubts
[19:56:56] <Runaway1956> Can someone help me? Bytram fell down this rabbit hole, and I can't lift him out by myself. ;)
[19:56:57] <FatPhil> "well known" also implies consensus.
[19:57:27] <Bytram> According to those, I fit in the "boomer" category and, depending on which method you use, according to (1) "Devine formula" I am 21 pounds underweight, according to "Hamwi method", I am 55 pounds underweight.
[19:57:48] <FatPhil> Read "Escaping the Rabbit Hole"?
[19:57:50] <raxas> it is well known in China, India, Russia, Japan, and in uderground just here. that may count as a consensus, for some
[19:58:00] <Bytram> woops, typo, hold on...
[19:58:02] <Runaway1956> I wish I were still underweight
[19:58:18] <Bytram> According to those, I fit in the "boomer" category and, depending on which method you use, according to (1) "Devine formula" I am 21 pounds underweight, according to "Hamwi method", I am 25 pounds underweight.
[19:58:39] <Bytram> and, no, I am not at all tall.

[20:04:13] <Bytram> I *used* to have a metabolism where no matter how much I ate each day, I could not gain an ounce. My metabolism has slowed down over the decades, so I *could* put on weight, now. But, I find that when I do, it feels like I am carrying around a couple sacks of flour with me all day long. Too much work!

[23:23:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> there's lots and lots of moonshine in NC too.
[23:23:53] <requerdanos> I learned to make moonshine at summer camp as a kid in NC.
[23:26:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think i learned it as a combination of wine/cider brewing and chemistry classes.
[23:27:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean, any fool can make ethanol but making something you'd want to drink takes a little skill and practice
[23:33:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> you know, during the last 20s you could order a tommy gun from the sears catalog.
[23:35:51] <Runaway1956> Yellow glowy things probably aren't alien spaceships. Their stealth technology is at least as good as our own.
[23:36:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> so, whadda yall reckon would happen if trump invoked the HUD dictate that you can't evict folks while covid is a thing? trump and biden both banging around the place like felix and oscar?
[23:37:06] <Runaway1956> You can't sell assault weapons from Sears - mankind would go extinct!
[23:37:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> they weren't assault weapons, they were machine guns.
[23:37:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, sub-machine guns
[23:37:51] <Runaway1956> But that's even worse than today's assault weapons which are only semi-machine guns!
[23:38:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> sub is lower than semi
[23:38:19] <Runaway1956> There ya go - it's not safe to shoot guns on submarines
[23:38:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> we should switch back to them, let them have the semi
[23:38:48] <Runaway1956> if Dodge would make some, they would be hemi-machine guns
