[01:34:00] <Runaway1956> Since that time the numbers have escalated for the coronavirus but still don’t compare to the great pandemics of the past.

[02:26:37] <chromas> "The ASUS UEFI firmware exposes an ACPI table to Windows 10, called "WPBT" or "Windows Platform Binary Table". WPBT is used in the pre-built OEM industry, and is referred to as "the Vendor's Rootkit." Put simply, it is a script that makes Windows copy data from the BIOS to the System32 folder on the machine and execute it during Windows startup - every single time the system is booted."
[02:27:59] <chromas> "Once the desktop is loaded, it manifests itself as a bloatware-looking notification near our system tray, requesting you to install the ASUS Armoury Crate software, by fetching the rest of its installer payload from the Internet. Interestingly, it also installs a basic driver to get the integrated network controller working, which is a nice feature."

[02:35:26] <chromas> or just use blackbox with one of the 10,049 stand-alone panel programs

[02:35:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd love it if it sat there and did what it was told without trying to be smart
[02:36:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, ain't the window manager, was already using openbox
[02:36:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> on account of lxde
[02:36:22] <chromas> win10 is enlightened. To be fair, you have to have a high IQ.meme
[02:36:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's all the default apps, which i liked from lxde cause they were still gtk2.

[02:39:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> honestly, i like the snappiness and low overhead of enlightenment but the pretty gets on my very last nerve
[02:39:50] <chromas> agreed. the clock is uggo too. baby blue with a glow on medium gray doesn't look that great
[02:40:18] <Runaway1956> If you can spend endless hours reading the documentation, configuring Enlightenment is a snap

[02:40:37] <chromas> sounds like you still want openbox, and just a different set of 'default apps'

[02:42:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, first thing i do in any wm is to set virtual desktops to 1
[02:43:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> 1920 is plenty of room for a bunch of windows on the taskbar
[02:44:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> specially when you have a tabbed terminal emulator
[02:45:50] <Runaway1956> Agreed - two 1080p monitors gives me lots of room for so many apps I can lose track of them
[02:45:56] <Runaway1956> no need for virtual desktops
[02:46:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, i never use the second monitor for anything except conky and wine stuff that gets confused when you let another window get on top of it

[03:37:22] <chromas> Thanks for giving me a notice about RTE, youtube
[03:37:55] <chromas> serial magstrip card reader. works on usb serial port but not using the onboard serial port on the motherboard
[03:37:56] <Deucalion> OK... chromas subbed a bot in....
[03:38:23] <chromas> nah, I clicked c0lo's link and youtube has a little special message at the bottom of the video like it does for flat earth videos
[03:38:57] <Deucalion> Can your OS see the onboard COM port?
[03:39:10] <chromas> I don't know where it would show up. Nothing in lspci
[03:40:35] <chromas> if I run picocom on /dev/ttyS0 it doesn't throw an error like it does on all the other numbers
[03:40:39] <chromas> but no data
[03:41:03] <chromas> maybe I need to connect the onboard port to one of the usb ones and see if I can send
[03:41:13] <Deucalion> uhhhh no
[03:41:41] <Deucalion> The USB > COM is just emulating a COM port
[03:41:46] <chromas> is connecting two serial ports illegal anymore?
[03:41:49] <Deucalion> its abstracted
[03:42:15] <chromas> right but I could try sending something between the two ports and see if anything happens
[03:44:37] <Deucalion> Your most likely issue is COM settings. With a serial device you have to get the Baud, Data, Stop, Parity and Flow Control settings to match with the device.
[03:45:12] <chromas> Right, but the card reader works fine with the same settings on a usb serial port adapter; just not with the onboard serial port
[03:45:25] <Deucalion> Mismatch will either give you hieroglyphs ot no output
[03:46:25] <Deucalion> But you said you did not know wich /dev the serial port was, without knowing which it is how are you checking its settings?
[03:47:07] <Deucalion> The USB Serial adapter
[03:47:22] <chromas> minicom lets me look at and change settings. I dunno if they're accurate for the onboard port but I can change them to different values and nothing happens
[03:47:52] <chromas> I'm trying /dev/ttyS0, which is the only one that doesn't throw an error when I try to use it
[03:49:35] <Deucalion> apparently I have 31 ttyS on this here machine... it has no actual serial ports..
[03:50:05] <chromas> Right. On the laptop, which has no serial ports, they all throw a "FATAL: failed to add port: Filedes is not a tty"
[03:50:24] <chromas> on the desktop, with one onboard serial ports, ttyS0 doesn't do that, while the rest do
[03:50:58] <Deucalion> Maybe try disable the physical COM post in BIOS / UEFI and play spot the /dev/ that disappears :D
[03:51:02] <chromas> I get the error trying to use picocom with it. minicom acts like everything's fine, but still no output

[04:06:32] <Deucalion> If in doubt go with baud=9600 data=8 stop=1 parity=none flow control=none - it's what everyone uses these days as default.
[04:10:22] <chromas> matches what it's doing, except the speed
[04:10:42] <chromas> when I change the speed, it shows (38400) after the speed, so maybe the port doesn't want to change. fpos
[04:11:10] <chromas> although that speed should get at least some sort of output, like it does on the usb one
[04:11:23] <Deucalion> If any serial parameter is mismatch you will get nothing or garbage
[04:12:43] <Deucalion> Take it from me - dealing with RS232 and RS485 connected devices going on 30 yrs... match them. There is no close it kinda works.
[04:14:55] <chromas> it kinda works at the wrong speed on the serial adapter so it should on the 'real' one too
[04:15:12] <chromas> and of course, works fine at the right speed on usb adapter
[04:15:23] * chromas blames TheMightyBuzzard
[04:15:29] <Deucalion> Whos says it "should"?

[04:18:26] * Deucalion jiggles
[04:22:09] <Deucalion> chromas, just to throw another fire in the iron you need to know how your serial cable is wired. Are all the flow control pins just looped back? Is it only pinned for DTR or CTS or both? etc. It's not complex really just fucking tiresome.
[04:22:28] <Deucalion> Wait.. maybe it want XON/XOFF..
[04:27:00] <chromas> I've toggled a few of those

[04:27:58] <chromas> at least you have to key in a privileged code to enable it though
[04:29:42] <Deucalion> That is not serial as in RS232 then. It's a ubiquitous 8 pin micro controller based thing. Just because you see a 9 pin DSub conector does not mean it is "serial" - it cpuld be wired to anything intenally.
[04:30:11] <chromas> close enough
[04:30:55] <chromas> anyhow, re "who says..." I do! One device on one serial port should work on another serial port with the same settings
[04:31:07] * chromas nick J4Jenius
[04:31:44] <Deucalion> RS232 cannot operate on just 2 pins. At minimum it needs TX, RX and Signal Ground - in which case you have to use software flow control (XON/XOFF)
[04:32:56] <chromas> They probably do. Their crappy software that looks like it was written in VisualBasic automatically does whatever it needs to work

[04:58:55] <AzumaHazuki> that fixes the problem without even bringing gender identity into it. plus, from what i've read, as transwomen continue transition they lose lean mass due to hormonal changes
[04:59:22] <Runaway1956> I don't know about tiers, but no man who grew up with a supply of testosterone should compete in any women's sports
[04:59:54] <Runaway1956> if he was physically neutered before age 7 or so, then maybe
[05:00:47] <Runaway1956> age six is about the time that girls put on a growing spurt, and grow taller than boys, so just about that time is when the testosterone needs to be shut off

[07:59:45] <chromas> What's the command that shows all the open files of a process?
[07:59:50] <chromas> ps something?
[08:00:38] <boru> Haven't you seen the documentary film about nationalising the energy sector in the UK? It was called Threads.
[08:01:34] <boru> Starts out with some young chaps in Sheffield having a pint, ends up with cannibalism after a nuclear firestorm.
[08:01:40] <SoyGuest48353> chromas: it's under /proc/<PID>/fds
[08:01:54] <chromas> oh yeah
[08:02:02] <boru> Or use lsof.
[08:02:06] <chromas> forgot about /proc
[08:02:10] <SoyGuest48353> boru: we downloaded that to watch a couple of years ago, and haven't got round to watching it yet
[08:02:13] <chromas> I know they've been working to remove stuff from it
[08:02:20] <boru> Still looking for your mystery process?

[08:02:42] <chromas> nah, looking for config file for ONVIFViewer, which shows the cameras on the lan
[08:02:42] <boru> FP; you'll need subtitles at the beginning. Sheffield accent.
[08:02:52] <boru> Ah, right.
[08:03:12] <chromas> but it doesn't tell me what the url is to get the feed
[08:03:46] <boru> Run `strings` on the binary? Or run a packet sniffer when you start the process.
[08:04:20] <boru> If it's TLS, then there's a few more steps.
[08:05:04] <chromas> Good idea. The problem with framework libraries is all the trillions of files open at all times
[08:05:08] <boru> I would suspect it's got some IGMP group for the cameras, or some such.
[08:05:31] <boru> Yeah, sounds pretty barf.
[08:13:03] <chromas> turns out it was faster to go to the gitlab page for the program and discover a bug report mentioning the config file
[08:13:35] <chromas> and there's no goodies in there :(
[08:13:49] <SoyGuest48353> so the bug tracker is the documentation, eh?

[08:21:18] <chromas> then I'm gonna give you up, then I'm gonna let you down, then I'm gonna run around and desert you

[15:06:16] <Bytram> Only had a few moments to glance at it -- am late to head out the door atm. Will look closer later. In the meantime, I'd suggest trying to take the high road, stay with the facts and discuss *those* -- avoid ay discussion of the other *person*. Be aware you are discussing things in a public forum and consider what other people SEE when you two go at it like 5-year-olds. Take the high road. "Just the facts, ma'am." "Say something in
