[02:19:41] <chromas> There's a 2024 update for Windows 10 that throws an error if your recovery partition is too small (the size Windows makes it at install time). The partition is at the end of the disk and can't be moved by Windows
[02:20:26] <chromas> Although one post on the MS forum suggests turning off security and running a rando powershell script off the Internet
[02:21:47] <chromas> AlwaysNever: not true. You either have white guilt or internalized colorism

[06:26:07] <aristarchus> chromas lies again. An inverted colon is no laughing matter. Prolapsed intestines has killed many a bishop, or so they say.
[06:28:18] <aristarchus> Is it true that Runaway1965 is banned? Bad Words? Oh, deer! Thank goodness the admin here never discuss, well, much of anything. Bannings, sockpuppets, deletions, moderation manipulation, Fascist plan to take over the world, and Britian. Nudge, nudge, say no more! Say no more!

[08:36:05] <janrinok> chromas, I don't think that AlwaysNever understood your quip earlier

[08:47:15] <janrinok> I'll watch it when my lesson ends
[16:01:04] <Ingar> most adults are children anyway
[16:03:27] <janrinok> chromas, I did chuckle though, I must admit. I was trying to think of any more puns and double entendres he could include.
[16:04:20] <Ingar> LPL's not ofc
[16:04:32] <Ingar> as I recall he made a similar video last year
[18:27:16] <chromas> several years

[19:16:08] <chromas> "Google fired 12,000 skilled technical workers."
[19:16:41] <chromas> Do we know that though? What if some of them were marketing or lawyers?
[19:22:39] <chromas> Titter fired a bunch of supposedly skilled technical workers and nothing changed at all
[19:25:37] <fab23> because they also scaled down on their users :)
[19:26:15] <chromas> only a few loudmouth opensource dorks left. the rest of the loudmouth dorks are still there
[19:27:56] <chromas> the death of twitter is greatly exaggerated
[19:27:57] <fab23> I don't know, have never used it.
[19:28:16] <chromas> it should die, but it isn't
[19:28:22] <fab23> I am kind of an anti social media person
[19:28:43] <chromas> but it's interesting he simultaneously says google's making the search results worse on purpose but also doesn't care
[19:29:09] <chromas> maybe google is owned by disney
[19:29:16] <fab23> they care, but not for the users any more
[19:29:51] <fab23> as mention in some comments on SN, used DDG for a long time, but now switched to kagi
[19:30:08] <chromas> some people say disney doesn't care to make its movies better because it's still making money, but it's actively making them worse on purpose for some reason, and would be making even more moneys if they didn't
[19:30:45] <chromas> I don't know if I've heard of kagi before, but I know there are several paid-for search engines. I should try a couple
[19:31:29] <chromas> Does kai have a place to report bad sites when they pop up?
[19:31:32] <chromas> kagi
[19:32:34] <fab23> Disney is needed, else new Debian Releases will have no names :) .oO( if you don't know, the names are out of Pixar's Toy Story and Disney had bought Pixar long ago )
[19:32:48] <fab23> chromas: you can up/down rank in your own results
[19:33:13] <chromas> that's why Debian sucks now; because Pixar sucks :D
[19:33:16] <fab23> e.g. ban sites from ever appearing in your search results
[19:33:29] <chromas> That's great!
[19:34:20] <chromas> Every once in awhile a new *see site appears. There used to be forumsee but now there's gitsee or something. they scrape other sites, SEO their way to the top and then say "well we're just helping these other sites to get more visibility"
[19:34:31] <chromas> The creators should be burned alive
[19:35:11] <fab23> from kagi FAQ: "We downrank web pages that contain ads and trackers, as this has empirically proven to improve search result quality for our members."

[19:36:04] <chromas> schweet
[19:36:16] <chromas> so we're implicitly SEOd to the top by having no ads :D
[19:36:58] <fab23> for that you have to write good content, which is all that counts
[19:37:10] <chromas> oh dangit
[19:37:18] <chromas> all we have is copypasta and shitpost comments
[19:37:46] <fab23> I guess what is good if your site is top result, when you do not earn from Ads? :)
[19:38:09] <chromas> more users and comments
[19:38:13] <chromas> bigger number better
[19:38:24] <fab23> spam comments or trolls? :)
[19:38:46] <chromas> true, but they had to pay to find us
[19:38:49] <fab23> like the likes on social media for your ego? :)
[19:39:07] <chromas> hm, mozilla maintains a search index. I wonder if they have the software available somewhere
[19:39:24] <fab23> oh, that is new to me
[19:39:46] <chromas> yes. Give me Likes, Updoots, Hearts, Plusses and Claps
[19:39:57] * chromas sits here, nonplussed by Google+
[19:40:28] <fab23> I do know about https://commoncrawl.org

[19:48:54] <chromas> =g does yacy still suck
[19:48:55] <systemd> https://news.ycombinator.com - Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services? | Hacker News
[19:49:03] <chromas> hah
[19:49:43] <chromas> ah, it's related because a user runs his own yacy instance just indexing stuff he likes
[19:50:04] <chromas> using it in place of bookmarks
[19:57:22] <fab23> chromas: just rent a big enough server / vm somewhere and let yacy index everything, then you have your own search engine :)
[19:57:45] <chromas> I've run yacy before. the problem is indexing becomes super slow after awhile
[19:58:01] <fab23> hm, but clever idea to let yacy index through your bookmarks
[19:58:34] <chromas> they say it gets slow because of the per-domain speed limit, but that doesn't make sense because the number of domains would be yuuuuge after just a couple hours
[19:58:45] <chromas> stopping and restarting fixes it after awhile
[19:58:52] <chromas> for awhile
[19:59:05] <fab23> memory leak or such?
[19:59:23] <chromas> possibly. I don't think it's been worked on much in the last few years either
[19:59:29] <chromas> also it's java
[19:59:30] <fab23> it's java, what do you expect from it?
