[01:02:45] <AzumaHazuki> I have to wonder, do you think this recent disaster in texas might push them to "go blue" in 5-15 years?
[01:03:35] <AzumaHazuki> this is a fairly clear indictment of neoliberal and GOP economic and especially social policy. and the desperate attempts to blame the Green New Deal (how...?) don't seem to be catching on
[01:04:19] <Runaway1956> Blue leaning people are probably dying in Texas, the survivors are very unlikely to be Dems.

[16:53:11] <Teckla> Anyone know of a tool to convert hexadecimal digits *in text format* into actual bytes?
[16:53:19] <Teckla> So the string "0d0a" would turn into two bytes, a carriage return and a line feed
[16:54:17] <AzumaHazuki> you might actually be able to do that with a C program that processes input 2 characters at a time, with a format string that takes the input as hex digits and outputs them as characters
