[10:47:07] <aristarchus> Runaway's sig has made me leave this site. Too many Arkie Nazis.
[10:48:18] <inz> If only...

[11:59:44] <AlwaysNever> I find AfD to be moderate center, but whatever
[12:13:05] <Ingar> =submit https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com
[12:13:07] <systemd> Submitting "Major French Supermarket Chains Hit by Cyber"...
[12:13:07] <systemd> Sub-ccess! "03Major French Supermarket Chains Hit by Cyber" (16p) -> https://soylentnews.org
[12:15:16] <Ingar> AfD is as moderate center as Elon Musk
[14:23:35] <AlwaysNever> Elon Musk is a troll with an agenda living out of Government money
[14:39:20] <AlwaysNever> So I booted up my old iBook G4 with Mac OS X Tiger, and apart from finding almost forgotten music stored wherein, I'm shocked at how much it struggles CPU-wise compared to modern machines.
[14:40:58] <AlwaysNever> Also found it has the RSS client and aggregator "Vienna", with a lot of old school blogs from about 2012, shocking!
[14:42:22] <AlwaysNever> Are RSS clients/aggregators still a thing? Any recommendation that is "current"?
[14:42:45] <fab23> archaeologist
[14:45:19] <AlwaysNever> SSL connections are failing because new CAs are not recognized, so this Vinnna cannot update its RSS feeds, so I don't know if those blogs still exist or not...
[14:45:29] <AlwaysNever> *this Vienna
[14:47:50] <Ingar> I was digging through some files from 1999/2000 this weekend
[14:47:57] <Ingar> damn memory lane
[14:50:51] <fab23> AlwaysNever: could be multiple things, outdated local CAs (maybe you could import / update them) and probably also clients not able to talk the newer TLSv1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 and servers not supporting outdated SSLv2 / v3 any more.
[14:51:24] <fab23> even TLSv1.1 is considered outdated
[14:52:44] <AlwaysNever> I have TenFourFox 45 with TLS 1.2 support in this iBook G4, the SSL failing is that Let's Encrypt Root CA is unknown to this machine, I guess it could be manually imported, but I like "decay" like this
[15:10:08] <AlwaysNever> I can browse from this iBook G4 with TenFourFox to bbc.co.uk, I see the UK apparently again has a new Prime Minister, who is selling the idea of undoing the Brexit, LOL
[15:17:51] <AlwaysNever> It's amazing the focus you get when at a computer where Youtube is no-go and Twitter/Facebook/Instagram are unusable because they kill the machine's CPU.
[15:18:29] <AlwaysNever> back to text, baby!
[15:21:48] <chromas> If you're running uMatrix or similar, some websites will kill your CPU with infinite request loops if you don't let them at a specific host
[15:36:07] <AlwaysNever> this old Firefox fork (TenFourFox 45) I only have with the NoScript extension, enough - I don't plan to use the web browser much in this vintage machine
[15:39:57] <chromas> Good point. JS aside, it probably doesn't have enough storage capacity for all the cookies
[18:00:27] <Ingar> Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz
[18:00:53] <Ingar> not really ancient, but it is approaching retro territory
[18:01:56] <Ingar> had to read a few archive DVDs for a client, my USB DVD drive choked on them, and that machine has a SATA dvd drive
[18:03:26] <Ingar> tip: when rescuing sata drives (optical or otherwise), a real sata connection is prefered over a USB adapter
[18:04:13] <Ingar> usually those bridges suck at error handling

[18:04:46] <Ingar> we lost chromas
[18:05:16] <Ingar> chromas: damn that was fast, even Jesus needed three days
[18:36:27] <prg> I still have a working Pentium II around.
[18:37:04] <prg> And a Pentium MMX notebook with 32MB RAM. But that's running Windows 95, so I wouldn't consider it usable anymore.

[20:03:58] <Ingar> I tried booting my phenom II and it gave me silence. retried a few times and it is running now. scary moment :-D
[20:04:59] <Ingar> prg: it some point I had enough old computers to fill a room, and cleaned up. a lot.
[20:05:04] <Ingar> *at some point
[20:25:20] <prg> also had to throw away a lot when I moved the last time. still had an IDT WinChip 133Mhz and AMD K6 something or other
[20:25:55] <prg> but wouldn't have any time to play with those things anyway nowadays
[20:54:24] <AlwaysNever> One thing I miss while using this iBook G4 is access to Gemini to ask things - like these for which I had to reach to my modern laptop: (titles are assigned by Gemini): Understanding speaker frequency ranges; Understanding Mac haptic touchpads; Restarting SSH service in Tiger.
[20:55:21] <AlwaysNever> I need to find some SSH/telnet gateway to Gemini...
[20:56:11] * AlwaysNever uses Gemini because I'm already logged into Youtube, so may as well reuse that cloud account.
[20:57:22] <AlwaysNever> Will my Gemini chats influence Youtube's algorithm in selecting what it presents to me? Who da fuck knows!
