[00:27:35] <AzumaHazuki> found something nice at the store: grechnevaya kasha, russian whole buckwheat groats. easy instant pot cook, just add some milk, stevia, and cinnamon once finished and you have awesome breakfast
[00:28:50] <progo> I want to go hiking tomorrow but the weather will be much better Wednesday
[00:40:57] <Runaway1956> FFS, someone tell 'Zumi that's why they print encyclopedia. Put on volume under each leg. If it wobbles, just tear out a few pages on the high corner.
[00:59:29] <progo> I should photograph my monitor "stand" solution (the temporary one made of boxes)
[00:59:57] <progo> looking at headlines on YouTube: 2 years ago: "This image from Hubble blew my mind! … and crashed my PC"
[01:00:03] <progo> uhm… don't open the TIFF or Jpeg
[01:00:36] <progo> aren't there image files formats with detail laid out in layers so that you can render any zoom level at a decent speed?
[01:04:35] <progo> anyone ever tried to write software for Atari 2600? I watched a video that laid out what is "racing the beam" in about 30 minutes, earlier today. it's really scary. you can make simple dumb games that won't sell, in a few days. to learn how to make games like Activision, I think you have to be clinically insane.

[06:29:45] <FatPhil> progo: TIFF permitted multiple images at different resoltions, IIRC. I used to deal with ~12k*8k TIFF images back in the early 90s, that was fun.
[06:44:53] <FatPhil> also permitted tiled compression, so if you knew you only wanted a subset of the image, you could just decompress the relevant tiles, which was useful.

[07:41:59] <Ingar> TIFF is mostly a container format. eg color TIFF is usually JPEG
[07:42:42] <Ingar> I sometimes handle multi-100Mb TIFFs if the client is stupid enough to ask for them
[07:42:58] <inz> Also JPEG is mostly a comperssion algorithm, usually contained in a JFIF
[07:43:00] <Ingar> (I'm in the document scanning business)
[07:43:56] * Ingar hands inz the pedantic monday award :p
[07:44:49] <inz> Or is it nowadays in EXIF, whatever.
[07:45:10] <Ingar> afaik EXIF is just extensions
[07:46:51] <Ingar> a lot of software also doesn't really like multipage TIFF
[07:51:10] <inz> EXIF is full file format, somewhat resembling JFIF, but not compatible
[07:51:31] <inz> And it is what is pretty much used for jpegs for decades now
[07:53:55] <FatPhil> Yup, JPEG arrived with TIFF 6.0 spec, I remember the proposals for that before it became standardised.
[08:00:57] <inz> I wonder what would have happened to the gif pronunciation wars, if the jpeg file extension was chosen from the first file format, JIF
[08:52:16] <FatPhil> maybe they'd have got it right?
[08:54:13] <FatPhil> Perhaps they should have been less blinkered with regards to how letters are pronounced. Perhaps the 'JIF' could have been influenced by Spanish pronunciation, so /hif/, and GIF influenced by Greek/Russian pronunciation, so /hif/.
[08:58:51] <inz> problem solved.
[08:59:39] <Ingar> I pronounce all file extensions dutch style, screw pronounciation wars
[09:00:21] <Ingar> PAY-DAY-EFF
[09:01:54] <inz> I only communicate via irc, so pronunciation don't matter one bit.
[09:07:28] <FatPhil> is that 'irk' or 'eye-are-sea'?

[15:56:46] <Runaway1956> Freenode forks up again -
[15:56:58] <Runaway1956> dropped registered users, forcing them to re-register
[15:57:23] <Runaway1956> [06/18/21 00:53:08] -Global- Dear network. We've had intermittent services issues that have been, as of now, completely mitigated. We will continue to monitor these changes. Thanks for your continuous support and for staying patience. We appreciate you. <freenode staff>

[15:57:26] <requerdanos> this was covered on SN as "freenode commits suicide" -- unless they have for some reason done the same thing twice
[15:57:49] <Runaway1956> Yes, it just happened again, see time stamps in my copy/paste
[15:59:08] <Runaway1956> When I attempted to login minutes ago, I wasn't recognized as a registered user
[16:03:11] <FatPhil> all the chans I was on migrated off freenode the same day, so there's no need for me to be on it any more.
[16:03:40] <Runaway1956> Mostly the same here, FatPhil - one chan is stubbornly resisting the move though
[16:14:09] <inz> I chose not to register after the db drop
[16:14:46] <requerdanos> I just haven't been back. Most of the channels I visit moved pretty early in the devolution and I didn't see a need.
[16:15:02] <inz> Reading the backround story about user database ownership, gdpr and somesuch, I suspect that the goal is to get monetizable user db afterwards
[16:23:17] <requerdanos> That fits with the "mess up as much as possible" mindset clearly running the joint.
