00:59 DaemonFC; LOL

1 AM, January 18

01:00 DaemonFC; Sonicare heads are really expensive considering they don't do as well as Oral-B ones.

01:00 DaemonFC; The Oral-B heads (brand) are usually about $3-10.50 each depending on how you buy them and whether you have an old one that uses mechanical energy or a newer one with a magnetic system.

01:01 DaemonFC; I gave Mandy the old mechanical one I had and got an iO while they were on sale.

01:01 DaemonFC; I stocked up on several years of iO heads while they were marked down by half on Amazon.

01:01 DaemonFC; So they can't soak me on the heads for a while.

01:02 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Mandy yells at me for stockpiling.

01:02 schestowitz[TR]; ok

01:02 schestowitz[TR]; sorry, in hurry atm

01:02 DaemonFC; There's been big rebates on body wash, toothpaste, cat food, lately. We were talking about this.

01:02 DaemonFC; $6 for a tube of toothpaste, but you get a $5 coupon for it?

01:02 DaemonFC; :)

01:03 DaemonFC; They're not sending out stacks of $5 coupons because they make no money at $1 per tube (plus running the scheme).

01:03 schestowitz[TR]; highlight me if plates start flying

01:03 DaemonFC; He hasn't thrown plates at me like that sister of his.

01:03 XRevan86; Or strategically start singing the Mandy song.

01:03 DaemonFC; I don't know if women are just that crazy or if it's just her.

01:04 schestowitz[TR]; this past sunday we bought 20 tubes of toothpaste

01:04 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Not that much exposure to women?

01:04 DaemonFC; Seems women are more prone to doing things like this but that one has a wood chipper for a coochie. I'm shocked that Mark can even deal with her.

01:04 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> this past sunday we bought 20 tubes of toothpaste

01:05 DaemonFC; Yeah, I do it like that too with a fistful of coupons.

01:05 DaemonFC; Then they can't get us for years.

01:05 DaemonFC; You have to be careful though with expiration dates.

01:05 DaemonFC; About a year after the date, is usually when it starts breaking down and separating.

01:06 DaemonFC; Saving money is good, but throwing out several tubes of toothpaste because it's sat there so long it's separating into sand and liquid....

01:06 DaemonFC; That's eating into the savings.

01:06 DaemonFC; I have 14 bottles of Irish Spring now.

01:06 DaemonFC; I threw one at Garrett....

01:14 schestowitz[TR]; "

01:14 schestowitz[TR]; It's hard not to read some of these stories and not think that somehow some of these companies are free-riding on the ability to do some firings with minimal pushback because of the "well, look at what everyone else is doing!" climate that exists now.

01:14 schestowitz[TR]; I'm having a hard time teasing out how much of this is driven by some sort of fundamental analysis of the economy, some collective BigCo CEO shared thinking, or, at my most cynical, an Overton window that's been pushed outwards by Elon firing an extremely significant quantity of the (comparably tiny) workforce of Twitter with seeming negligible external-facing impact on the core product.

01:14 schestowitz[TR]; "

01:14 DaemonFC; Walmart gutted holiday pay, bonuses, and Sunday pay to increase wages in general.

01:15 schestowitz[TR]; " That said, I don't know what severance packages people are being offered. That might help soften the blow for some folks. "

01:15 DaemonFC; I'm fine with that. Mandy was one of the only people gtting those bonuses anyway because if you got any attendance points that 6 month period, no bonus.

01:15 schestowitz[TR]; " 11,000 people - let's say an average loaded cost of $250k/yr. That's... ~$3b/yr these folks cost MSFT. Granted, it's per year, but ... keeping these people on for another 3 years would cost ~$10b. "

01:15 DaemonFC; Walmart knew very few people make it through half a year without an attendance point.

01:15 DaemonFC; So they could say there was a bonus and not pay many.

01:16 DaemonFC; In 6 months, a lot can happen. Your car can refuse to start, you can get sick (especially now), you can be ordered to go to court and they don't ask what day works for you.

01:16 DaemonFC; You have the right to go to trial on a traffic ticket. Most people don't.

01:17 DaemonFC; 90% of the time, you lose and pay anyway, and they have to call in to go to court, or at least take a half day.

01:18 DaemonFC; It suits the state to make the fine enough to rip you off, but not enough that you'll go to court and fight it.

01:19 DaemonFC; So if you're like me and you have nothing to do all day except go and bicker about it, then you go fight it.

01:19 DaemonFC; And they don't bother you as much anymore.

01:19 DaemonFC; I've noticed that the more you go to fight, the less the police try to ticket you.

01:19 DaemonFC; The less you fight it, the more tickets you get later.

01:20 DaemonFC; They keep ticketing MARISOL even though I've probably got as much of a lead foot as she does.

01:20 DaemonFC; Why?

01:20 DaemonFC; She goes by, the cop sees hey, she's had like 8 of these and she just drops the check in the mail like a chump.

01:20 DaemonFC; Oh there goes Ryan again. Every time we bother him, he costs us 40 minutes in court and refuses to settle and then we lose.

01:21 DaemonFC; When bullies stop getting what they want out of you, they go find some easier prey.

01:21 DaemonFC; You can't afford not to fight a traffic ticket.

01:21 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], There's a lot of these pay for results apps for lawyers now.

01:22 DaemonFC; You only pay full price if you go to trial and win.

01:22 DaemonFC; If you get found guilty of the offense, the lawyer makes nothing.

01:23 DaemonFC; I ended up paying the lawyer full price because the charge got dropped.

01:24 DaemonFC; "I'm having a hard time teasing out how much of this is driven by some sort of fundamental analysis of the economy, some collective BigCo CEO shared thinking, or, at my most cynical, an Overton window that's been pushed outwards by Elon firing an extremely significant quantity of the (comparably tiny) workforce of Twitter with seeming negligible external-facing impact on the core product."

01:26 DaemonFC; Until there were so many bills due at the same time, they couldn't pay them all with cooked books.

01:26 DaemonFC; That's the problem. I can say I have a million dollars and as long as nobody checks and all my bills are paid...

01:26 DaemonFC; I mean, it works until it doesn't.

01:26 DaemonFC; When you can't pay anymore, people investigate why and then it comes to "Well, there really was no $100 billion dollars."

02:07 agg1; this is what happens when a free software kernel is implemented for rigged pentagon hardware made in usa

02:08 agg1; you do need then: a proprietary hardware hypervisor integrated into the CPU, a linux kernel with KVM extensions in total several dozen of million of lines of code for this

02:09 agg1; to spawn a microkernel in alpha-state version 0.9 after 30 years of development for that particular USA pentagon platform

02:10 agg1; there isn't at least one native hardware mentioned to run GNU/Hurd with on x86

02:10 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I'm due for my second Pneumonia vaccine. Not sure if I want to get it at the moment.

02:10 DaemonFC; Not sure if it would be better to just wait a while longer.

02:13 agg1; problem with linux kernel, it's rigged, even when rolling back to v2.4 from 20 years ago, at that time IBM Microsh*t pentagon corp already fisted their ACPI and whatnot into linux

02:13 DaemonFC; Maybe it's like Candyman rules.

02:13 agg1; so, thinking about it, i had to roll-back linux even further, predating ACPI and SMP

02:13 DaemonFC; Failed Biologist Failed Biologist Failed Biologist.

02:14 agg1; meaning then, that's single core hardware with a few megs of RAM

02:14 DaemonFC; Then he shows up twirling his bathrobe belt.

02:14 agg1; i could live with a single core and 1GiB RAM, if power consumption is moderate, and the device is portable

02:14 DaemonFC; Sometimes I twirl my bathrobe belt though, and no that's not a metaphor.

02:15 DaemonFC; I just get bored in the morning when it takes my Moccamaster 2-3 minutes to get my coffee to me.

02:15 agg1; i don't know, maybe i can find some older corebootable hardware, year 2000 round about, not any later, because ACPI was one cornerstone of the system collapse

02:16 agg1; and i can bootstrap a system from scratch, with tcc-toolchain, not sure about any libc compatible with linux 2.2 or similar

02:16 agg1; and the required ASM support, which is not trivial

02:17 agg1; not sure if i was willing to invest any time at all into x86 asm

02:17 agg1; since when i quit hacking, i got time to clean my appartment, eat and sleep, at least

02:18 agg1; or, if there was any native hardware supported with GNU hurd? and if GNU hurd could be compiled with TCC compiler? i do not know yet

02:25 agg1; for the sake of it, i'll dig into it for some time, some time

02:26 agg1; moment, another one, USB1.x ... did linux 2.2 have at least support for this?

02:27 agg1; BINGO, USB, another IBM Microshit Pentagon one... linux 2.2 didn't have that

02:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Walmart's payscale got reformed while I was there, and I got a big raise. The reformed payscale was designed to make pay in each department uniform across each store and in line with local prevailing wages.

02:29 DaemonFC; So I got a pretty big raise.

02:29 DaemonFC; But I obtained a leaked draft of it.

02:29 DaemonFC; Before the store's managers did.

02:30 DaemonFC; At first they said they hadn't seen it so stop spreading rumors.

02:30 DaemonFC; Then they got it in their email nine days later and I got called in and grilled about how I knew what management didn't.

02:30 DaemonFC; Whoops.

02:31 DaemonFC; The revision was also to squash some ethics problems.

02:32 DaemonFC; Managers doling out arbitrary raises to underlings that they were fucking, for example.

02:32 DaemonFC; Which was previously quite common.

02:33 DaemonFC; So how it worked in 2004 up to the change was the store had a budget for annual raises.

02:33 DaemonFC; And then of course the raises were giving out on a 1-5 performance scale.

02:33 agg1; the linux 2.2 milestone is noteworthy for another reasons, because when i began studying 20 years ago, at that time it was outdated already, with USB common all around in every place

02:34 DaemonFC; If they gave you a 2, no raise, if you got a 1, then it triggered a probationary employment period where if you didn't improve in 60 days, they fired you.

02:34 DaemonFC; So they gave most people a 2 or a 3 so they could drive out problem cases they didn't want to coach by demoralizing or make people shrug and go at least I got a raise.

02:34 schestowitz[TR]; i'll do a video about it in 30 mins

02:34 DaemonFC; Then the people screwing the boss or sucking up got the 5s.

02:34 schestowitz[TR]; but has to be about unions\a

02:34 schestowitz[TR]; as that's the focus

02:35 DaemonFC; Walmart went after the "WalmartSucks" forum Website and told the guy he'd sell it or they'd take it and sue him.

02:36 DaemonFC; They ignored it until they realized there were organizers and leaked documents.

02:38 DaemonFC; Article looks okay.

02:38 DaemonFC; I think most of the outright corruption at Walmart was mostly ferreted out by around 2007.

02:38 DaemonFC; There were executives taking bribes from vendors.

02:39 DaemonFC; The company tried to slip Tom Coughlin out as "retiring after long service to the company" but then weeks later it was reported that the FBI was investigating an illegal bribery scheme.

02:39 DaemonFC; And Walmart didn't want him anywhere near the company.

02:40 agg1; well, an initial test candidate for linux 2.2 is slackware version 4.0, year 1999

02:40 DaemonFC; Because he'd been threatening companies like Pepsi with worse product placement areas and higher shelf rental fees.

03:08 agg1; but it is forbidden to fiddle with air rifles, when those are pentagon-F stamped, only gun-smithers are permitted to maintain those rifles

03:09 agg1; and i visited a local gun store, to buy some rifle darts, asked if some shooters club existed in the city... there isn't none

03:17 TR Bot; First lawsuits filed against Illinois' 'assault weapons' ban, calling it unconstitutional

03:17 DaemonFC; One of them has over 800 residents listed as the people suing the state.

03:17 agg1; which all apply to weapons which aren't interesting to me (automatic rifles, high powered rifles, nothing which is practically useful for anything)

03:18 agg1; i mean, the noise those guns make, that's reasons enough to avoid the restricted ones

03:18 agg1; the pentagon-F ones however, do not require any of the permits for hunters, sport-shooters, or collectors

03:19 agg1; the traditional free ones, are the most affordable, most rugged, and cheapest

03:19 agg1; a .22 calibre one is available, for 60coins

03:20 agg1; requires nothing but an age verification, done.

03:20 agg1; then it is strictly forbidden to carry any of this in public, obviously

03:21 agg1; any type of hunting is strictly forbidden with the free ones, one shot at a pigeon, and you go to jail

03:23 agg1; and i think, must hunters which got the expensive permission and paperwork for all types of weapons they wish to have, i think it's silly

03:23 agg1; the noise they make, that's stupid, to walk into a forest, and scare all squirrels at a radius of 1mile

03:23 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

03:24 agg1; the deers they and boars they catch, they could lure them into traps and fences, or however

03:24 agg1; in sweden the deers there are herded, and it's easy to catch them, without a gun

03:25 agg1; for sports, the air rifles are neat, because, they're affordable, including ammunition

03:26 agg1; outside military and police i see little to no reasons for anyone to acquire a sporting-gun permit, although i do not object to it, just not my piece of cake, to each their own

03:26 agg1; blood samples taken from shooters at the range indicate unusal high lead concentration in their blood, inhaled by the fumes

03:27 agg1; and whatever else the gun powders emit

03:27 agg1; pentagon-f stamped free air rifles are clean, except for the lead which must be collected and easily recycled

03:28 agg1; the USA survivalist gunners, are idiots somehow, a fully powered air rifle could serve that purpose, however, you could carry 500 projectiles for 5coins of money, to survive eating rats and rodents terminated with a lead pellet

03:29 agg1; if that's what they want

03:30 agg1; there's just one thing air rifles aren't good at: going on killing spree

03:31 agg1; not saying those german air rifles couldn't be annoying, when fully powered, and a precision to hit a penny at 100 yards

03:32 agg1; this won't kill anyone of cause, yet a third hole in the nose is somewhat intruiging, where was that coming from?

03:32 agg1; although, i don't recall any single illegal or any other incident such as this with german air rifles.

03:36 agg1; the shootings reported in germany, were all linked to shooters with a permit for sports shooters or hunters

03:37 agg1; meaning, they or the parents did all paperwork with official permits from bureaucracy, and this didn't prevent anyhting

03:38 agg1; and pentagon-f stamped rifles don't require any paperwork except for age verification, no issues reported with those ever, none that i know of

03:38 agg1; just as said, it's just forbidden to aim at anything living with air rifles, had not seen any statistics how many rodents were hit by a pellet

03:40 agg1; anyhow, in germany there isn't any existential survival crisis, to hunt rodents for lunch, hence i suspect such incidents are insignificant

03:40 agg1; problem i have, i got 50 square meters to live, with no place nearby to go outside anywhere, and no shooters club nearby either

03:42 agg1; i think in USA and wherever else, most gunners are obsessed, and totally miss what's available with traditional air rifles

03:42 agg1; i mean, they could save 99% of their cash spent for guns and rifles

03:43 agg1; a box with 500 pellets, 5coins; 100 rifle darts which are reusable are 20coins, after a little while those darts deform

03:44 agg1; for example, when i hit them hole-in-hole spot on, one dart deforms the other one hit.... which is rather difficult

03:44 agg1; so, that's ammo cost of 20coins for 6month, with rifle darts

03:46 agg1; and the little secret with pellets, which are rather cheap too, they're punchy even with non-tuned pentagon-f stamped rifles, so I do not use those

03:46 agg1; i mean, if you wanted, you could buy steal core pellets freely on ebay, fully legal, yet for what? to punch holes into the windows?

03:46 agg1; steel

03:47 agg1; it doesn't hurt, to stockpile a box of those for 5coins though, just in case of a prolonged power outage, and nothing remaining to eat except rodents

03:49 agg1; the noise alone, of rifles, is reason enough, to avoid most of them

03:50 agg1; i remember having read, traditional cowboy rifles and revolvers, remained sub-sonic, with heavy projectiles, otherwise their horses would freak out

03:51 agg1; this fact alone, rules out 99% of what's advertised by the gun industry, as whatever greatness they sell to idiots around the globe

03:52 agg1; i mean, i must admit, a cowboy horse and rifle, that's a small boy's dream of freedom

03:52 agg1; yet, this isn't what the industry is selling

03:53 agg1; or, let's say, they sold that too

03:54 agg1; otherwise, there is no practical use for noisy weapons, for anyone, not police, not military, not hunters, not sports shooters... nonetheless they're blasting their ears and that of the animals in the forest when hunting

04:38 DaemonFC; It's kind of hard to slip crappy cat food past a customer that looks for the telltale sign.

04:38 DaemonFC; The cheaper ones are usually cheap for a reason. Look at the ingredients label.

04:38 DaemonFC; Meat and Meat meal should be the first two ingredients.

04:39 DaemonFC; You should also look at the protein percentage on the side. It has to give the percentage of a bunch of things by weight.

04:39 DaemonFC; The cheapest dry food is only like 30%. The pricier ones are about 38% or so.

04:39 DaemonFC; They also have mid-tier which is usually 34-36%.

04:39 DaemonFC; An indoor cat should be at least in the 34-36% protein range or it's just not getting enough to maintain muscle content.

04:40 DaemonFC; Those "absolute junk" brands like Friskies and Walmart's Special Kitty shouldn't even be legal to sell.

04:41 DaemonFC; Purina owns Friskies and also is the vendor for Special Kitty.

04:41 DaemonFC; Walmart tried to introduce "premium store label cat food", but it was a marketing fail so they got rid of it quickly too.

04:41 DaemonFC; It's a shame because it really was up there with the middle-tier stuff at a much lower price.

04:42 DaemonFC; Aldi might still have something like this. I remembered looking at the label for one of their formulations and thinking "Yeah, I'd feed this to my cats.".

06:20 DaemonFC; If it can use plagiarism tools that are mislabeled "AI" to steal from the Free Software community, it benefits, and we don't.

06:20 DaemonFC; They release compiled binaries and then won't let you study how those work, and coat them with DRM (which is a felony to bypass), and then if that's not enough, you have to sign a EULA that goes on for more words than the United States Constitution to even use it.

10:15 matteobin; I would like to write C code, maybe C++. Packaging and supporting is fine too.

10:16 matteobin; I would like to do something useful for GNU/Linux people.

10:16 matteobin; To work for people not for companies. I'm probably just a dreamer.

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; that's doable

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; but profit is a potential issue

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; as companies decide for you what to do

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; take canonical for examplwe

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; they have you work on

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; mir

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; chamed

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; snap

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; etc etc.

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; or even some proprietary things

10:17 schestowitz[TR]; in gnu/linux support companies you might end up being assigned psql jobs

10:18 schestowitz[TR]; or some CMS you barely know, like squiz-matrix or sjango-cms

10:18 mjg59_; matteobin: The largest european firms are probably Igalia, Collabora and Codethink

10:18 matteobin; I've heard those Canonical things suck, but I've never used them.

10:19 mjg59_; matteobin: But also search for any local employers who do open source work as any part of what they specialise in - many companies want people who want to contribute upstream, but can't find them

10:19 schestowitz[TR]; when canonical was our client we supported the DB for them

10:19 schestowitz[TR]; that was over a decade ago

10:19 mjg59_; matteobin: And also if that's your priority, don't rule out Suse or Canonical - while they do work on some proprietary stuff, most of it's open, and they do sometimes have interesting positions available

12:34 schestowitz[TR]; linux 2.2?? 0_o

12:34 schestowitz[TR]; not 2.6?

12:35 schestowitz[TR]; you're just being retro now

12:35 agg1; yes, 2.2 is the last one without certain micro$$$ "features"

12:35 agg1; nope, that's not a nostalgic thing

12:35 schestowitz[TR]; good luck usign usb2

12:35 agg1; usb1.x will be fine, if it is available, even NO USB would be ok

12:36 agg1; it's something else which concerns me

12:37 agg1; i mean, the C11-move with linux-5.10, that was too much, that's the final stroke to it

12:37 agg1; i did patch that one to avoid c11, yet that's not the only problem

12:37 agg1; and when looking back in time, even beyond what i had used 20 years ago when i began studying, linux-2.2 is the candidate

12:37 schestowitz[TR]; so what mouse?

12:37 schestowitz[TR]; ps/2?

12:38 schestowitz[TR]; stopped working

12:38 schestowitz[TR]; partly or entirely

12:39 agg1; i mean, i wouldn't bother to invest into 1.4Meg floppy disks again

12:39 schestowitz[TR]; maybe one keyboard left, but some bad caps

12:39 schestowitz[TR]; the daily bulltin of techrights can be 1MB per day

12:39 schestowitz[TR]; this chatlog as HTML is sometimes over 1.4MB

12:39 schestowitz[TR]; not compressed

12:40 agg1; for PS/2 there was adapters to use keyboards and mouse with USB or PS/2, it works just fine as it did for more than 20 years

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; so you torture yourself for no good reason if you go back to magnetic disks

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; diskettes

12:40 agg1; i don't intend to use floppy disks

12:40 agg1; if usb1.x storage is available, that's fine then

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; yes, some computers from 2010 still sold with ps/2 on the motherboard

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; and usb adapters

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; green for mouse, purple for keyboard

12:41 schestowitz[TR]; storage devices with usb1 are no good

12:41 schestowitz[TR]; outdated and not reliable,

12:41 schestowitz[TR]; due to age

12:41 agg1; i wouldn't bother to use a serial-line keyboard and mouse, just saying, those worked for a long time too, without problem

12:42 agg1; another problem is, which i discussed here, not at least vt100 type terminals were ever fully opensource (both hardware and software)

12:42 schestowitz[TR]; but the RGB lights!!!

12:42 schestowitz[TR]; you are missing out

13:06 agg1; anyhow, 32bit intel hardware from year 2000 or earlier, there should be some stuff available still

13:06 agg1; it's only important, power consumption remains low, otherwise i cannot keep the system running (44cents/kWh)

13:07 agg1; and Altera, isn't company known for opensource and freedom

13:07 agg1; nonetheless, at least there is something available

13:08 agg1; for aarch64, there is that many opensource/free hardware options: NOTHING

13:08 agg1; and the compilers/toolchain are awful

13:09 XRevan86; schestowitz: This is just activelow being himself, he's been going to great lengths to find ways to make his computers nonfunctional this whole time.

13:09 agg1; the principle conclusion was, i consider any update/upgrade on the basis of current technology futile

13:10 agg1; and the rollback-strategy to something sane and stable, that's a huge challenge

13:10 agg1; and yes, linux-2.2 seems to be a candidate for this

13:12 agg1; it's the Pentagon made in USA who wrecked technology beyond repair

13:12 agg1; XRevan86, i am not sure why you're blaming me for this

13:13 agg1; if i had been asked, i had called for STOP year 1999 already, with ACPI emerging

13:14 agg1; and to avoid another misunderstanding, i was the guy who studied at Telekom, and quit

13:14 agg1; I left

13:14 agg1; year 2005 already

13:15 agg1; so, i am not sure why i was supposed to take the pride for the clusterfuck produced by GAFAM and their multi-billion total wreckage write-off

13:15 agg1; because, that's how bad it is, it's a total write-off

13:15 schestowitz[TR]; you do not neded to justify nostalgia/hobby/retro

13:15 agg1; the whole technology, it's impossible to salvage

13:15 schestowitz[TR]; a friend of mine collects quests from the 1990s

13:16 schestowitz[TR]; but don't pretend you solve an actual problem

13:16 agg1; none of this meets a bare minimum of acceptance criteria nowadays

13:16 agg1; i don't pretend anything

13:16 agg1; just as i said, even a rollback-stragey is close to impossible

13:16 agg1; i had arrived at z80 style systems and earlier, gigatron ttl project and similar, and even with those problems are overwhelming

13:16 schestowitz[TR]; you need to define a goal

13:54 schestowitz[TR]; you cannot connect to some machines

13:54 schestowitz[TR]; they won't handshake with you

13:54 resistor; currently, i still use SSHv2 and hacked my cipher into dropbear, it works, however, there was something i disliked about sshv2

13:54 resistor; i digged into the sources, obviously, when integrating my cipher

13:54 schestowitz[TR]; your github cipher

13:54 resistor; the old SSHv1 implementation was much simpler, much less lines of code, alot easier

13:54 schestowitz[TR]; with odd variable names

13:55 schestowitz[TR]; so it's almost impossible to figure out what it claims tom do

13:56 resistor; the entire crypto-api is weird, with linux-5.10, and i won't need any kernel-api for crypto

13:57 resistor; yet how then, is it possible, to encrypt all my things, if i don't need any of the NSA pentagon stuff inside kernel?
