[00:35:24] <chromas> News outlets keep trying to convince us we're obsessed with stuff

[09:41:50] <Ingar> I think kolie is cheating in idlerpg!
[09:42:36] <janrinok> I don't watch that channel - but why do you say that?
[09:42:58] <janrinok> (good morning, by the way!)
[09:44:21] <Ingar> good morning janrinok !
[09:44:36] <chromas> There is an awful lot of winning challenges
[09:44:45] <Ingar> janrinok: the RNG works suspiciously to his advantage!
[09:45:03] <janrinok> lol
[09:45:18] <Ingar> we're keeping an eye on this one!
[09:46:17] <Ingar> or it is ari who hacked idlerpg to make kolie look suspicious and create seeds of distrust
[09:47:08] <chromas> kolie is the part of ari's brain that isn't nuts
[09:47:31] <janrinok> or it is kolie who wants to make it look like ari so that kolie can actually keep winning but put the blame elsewhere.
[09:47:52] <chromas> It's a Jekyll and Hyde situation. It's the only way to keep your sanity while working in perl and rehash
[09:48:01] <janrinok> Or it is ari, who is playing the triple bluff option, ......
[09:48:03] <Ingar> chromas: that makes sense!
[09:49:07] <Ingar> in the meanwhile, here's yesterday's moonlight http://ingar.intranifty.net
[09:49:28] <chromas> Nice moon. Cheeky even
[09:49:57] <Ingar> I did 'enhance' it a bit with some gimp filters ;-)
[09:49:59] <janrinok> Obviously a fake - I mean, can you see a lunar rover anywhere? Come on, pull the other one.
[09:50:17] <Ingar> janrinok: you can see aristarchus!
[09:50:39] * janrinok decides to ban the moon from this site!
[09:50:53] <Ingar> rofl
[09:51:14] <janrinok> That is as obnoxious a thought as a goatse!
[09:53:31] <chromas> I thought everyone switched to Krita :D
[09:53:50] <chromas> It had both cmyk and resizable brushes decades before gimp
[10:00:41] <chromas> Remember when gimp finally added "auto brushes" that were resizable? Then later they finally added a brush size option, which also worked on the auto brush, so you could resize your resiable brushes
[10:05:58] <chromas> Youtube doesn't like my anymore. All the videos stop after 30 or so secs. If I load it in VLC I see there are 403 forbidden errors. yt-dlp still works though
[10:07:43] <janrinok> It is getting to the stage where I cannot even watch a video on some aspect of computing without an ad every 2-3 minutes.
[10:10:10] <chromas> where's your ad blocker?
[10:10:32] <chromas> install µblock origin right away, sir!
[10:11:37] <janrinok> I've got it in already. If I disable it then I get the shitty ads, if I enable it then the video works for a few minutes then refuses to continue.
[10:12:23] <chromas> ah, same problem then
[10:13:07] <janrinok> like you, I am downloading what I can before even that it taken away.
[10:14:39] <chromas> there are some youtube clients in the linux world; I haven't tried any recently to see how they compare
[10:15:39] <chromas> minitube, plasmatube
[10:15:50] <chromas> second one is kde-based
[10:16:33] <janrinok> For that I would have to install GB of unwanted desktop....
[10:17:21] <chromas> another nifty thing is the Video Download Helper browser extension. It prefers an external tool for the actual downloading, but it can even find videos in pages yt-dlp won't
[10:20:15] <chromas> hm, our folding rank is stuck at 381, though we're still getting some points
[10:21:47] <janrinok> Runaway was by far the biggest contributor I think?
[10:22:41] <janrinok> I can't remember how to connect to it - I have a server running that perhaps has some spare processing.
[10:23:52] <Ingar> let's see
[10:23:59] <Ingar> I could probabely do some space heating
[10:26:37] <chromas> I installed it but when I run it, nothing happens
[10:26:52] <chromas> it doesn't even make the log file
[10:27:39] <Ingar> CPU is running, GPU is still trying to download some work
[10:27:53] <chromas> I wonder if TPUs can do anything
[10:29:34] <chromas> Ran it without the systemd unit. it says it's up, and it shows the browser hit on the terminal, but it isn't actually doing anything
[10:29:37] <chromas> fpos@home
[10:34:38] <chromas> speaking of cheats
[10:39:25] <Ingar> I'm in the Windows, getting spied on by Microsoft
[10:55:14] <Ingar> it's doing update_core for the gpu or something
[11:04:09] <chromas> https://www.youtube.com
[11:04:12] <systemd> ^ 03B*tches Ain’t Sh*t - Christmas Edition
[12:39:11] <Ingar> GPU kicked in
[12:39:14] <Ingar> computer goos woooosh
[12:39:22] <Ingar> *goes
[12:40:06] <Ingar> the joke is I need to heat up this room electrically anwyay, so I just turn off the heater
[12:40:14] <Ingar> PC uses less power
[21:21:35] -!- plenumflange [plenumflange!~plenumfla@185.135.ri.xm] has joined #soylent
[21:23:40] <plenumflange> VLM is burning up the front page with racist paranoid drone comments. Is this what SN has become?
[21:39:38] -!- plenumflange has quit [Quit: Client closed]
