03:15 DaemonFC; I don't know why they'd want to come here.

03:15 DaemonFC; You can't even get medicine here.

03:15 DaemonFC; Like, in Mexico you can walk in and buy antibiotics without seeing a doctor.

03:16 DaemonFC; Here, you have to come up with $450 to see the doctor and maybe they'll feel like helping and maybe they'll feel like subjecting you to a $1,000 chest x-ray and a $300 step A/B test, and a $100 flu test, and send something to the lab and there went $400.

03:17 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Someone took their toddler to a "video visit" to the doctor and got an $849 bill for a "facility fee" on top of the doctor's fee.

03:17 DaemonFC; It's just so stupid. They could have gotten in the car and drove to an urgent care and only paid for the doctor.

03:17 DaemonFC; And what the fuck are they going to do for the kid on a video call?

03:19 schestowitz-TR2; was proudly vaccinated

03:20 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, The COVID vaccines can actually cause severe myocarditis in people who have had COVID already.

03:20 DaemonFC; Mom's friend had COVID three times and then his school demanded he go get the vaccine anyway. He took one dose of Pfizer and now he has heart damage that they say is permanent.

03:20 IPFS; New daily bulletin is now being generated and assembled.

03:20 DaemonFC; So his doctor wrote a letter to the school saying he should never take another dose of Pfizer vaccine.

03:21 DaemonFC; So they told him "Well, this doesn't say you can't take Johnson and Johnson. Go take that one!".

03:22 DaemonFC; But the dose of Pfizer he took pushed back the deadline for taking another shot to where he could go ahead and graduate. Not where he wanted to stop, but at least now he can transfer to a private college with no vaccine mandate.

03:23 DaemonFC; You can just keep getting COVID over and over again, with seemingly no limit.

03:23 DaemonFC; And the COVID shots wear off fast.

03:23 DaemonFC; And the virus keeps mutating to the point where the current shots don't do as well anyway, even from the start.

03:24 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: all the schools where my sister is shut down

03:24 schestowitz-TR2; she said, they "THINK" someone there spread it

03:24 DaemonFC; It's not all that much of a nuisance if you're not exerting yourself.

03:24 schestowitz-TR2; ME: there's like HALF A MILLION CASES confirmed just yesterday

03:24 schestowitz-TR2; They "think"...

03:24 DaemonFC; I gave Mandy the good ones with the exhaust valves so he can work while wearing them.

03:24 schestowitz-TR2; also, the virus can spread outside schools and kindergarten

03:24 DaemonFC; He's the only person in his department that hasn't had COVID now.

03:25 schestowitz-TR2; anyway, back to tech

03:25 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, Well, I plan to wear N95s for at least as long as there's this many active cases out there.

03:25 DaemonFC; If it falls to a point where like 1 in 50 or 1 in 100 people have it, I'll probably go back to using surgical masks.

03:26 DaemonFC; But when it's like 1 in 10.....kind of creepy. You walk past 10 people, 1 of them has it.

03:26 DaemonFC; At some point I'll go back to surgical masks and save the N95s to send Mandy to work in.

03:26 DaemonFC; He's the one being exposed to hundreds of people each day. He needs them more than I do.

16:24 *SomeH4x0r (~someh4xx@ecz2t3b69tp9n.irc) has joined #techrights

16:24 MinceR; ftp can't multiplex streams together, so you have one connection for commands and responses and another (or more) for file transfers (1 for each ongoing transfer)

16:24 MinceR; and the worst part is that the peers tell each other about the other connections in plain text on the command connection

16:24 MinceR; which is a nightmare for firewalls

16:24 MinceR; and also for any sort of tunnelling

16:24 MinceR; and even for tls/ssl

19:00 DaemonFC; Hey kid, want some Microsoft? -Red Hat (IBM)

19:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz, You'd think that they'd have learned something from OS/2.

19:01 DaemonFC; OS/2 is still floating around out there, but can't be modernized really because Microsoft owns the copyright to so much of it that IBM really can't do anything except enter into distribution agreements.

19:01 *bnchs (~bnchs@vdsp9wbqmw77y.irc) has joined #techrights

19:05 DaemonFC; I still laugh when I think of the reasons Microsoft gave for backing out of OS/2.

19:06 DaemonFC; They claim that IBM was making it "bloated", although it was certainly no bigger than Windows NT 4, and especially the Workspace wasn't more bloated than the "Internet Explorer shell update".

19:07 DaemonFC; For the first year or so I had my Windows 98 system, I didn't even have access to the Internet, but IE caused the system to be so much more bloated than Windows 95, and I couldn't even use it if I wanted to.

19:08 DaemonFC; When I did do something about that, it was to remove IE and its Shell Update so I could run more applications without it using the swap file.

19:08 DaemonFC; Microsoft said it was impossible, but at least two people figured it out and made programs that automated the junk cleanup.

19:09 bnchs; ok why the fuck is a web browser fully integrated into a OS

19:09 DaemonFC; It actually wasn't as integrated into Windows 98 or Me as Microsoft said it was.

19:09 bnchs; that seems like as much as a horrible idea as integrating a file manager into the desktop environment (explorer.exe)

19:09 *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

19:11 *liberty_box (~liberty@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #techrights

19:11 DaemonFC; If you unregistered a bunch of DLL and other files and deleted them, and removed the C;\Program Files\Internet Explorer path, and a bunch of other crap, and then pulled a switcharoo for the Windows 95 B shell that knew what FAT32 was, and then removed Outlook Express and a bunch more stuff, it was basically Windows 95 B with an improved memory manager and support for Windows Driver Model and newer DirectX (eventually).

19:11 DaemonFC; Well, the Windows 95 shell was actually much more secure because it didn't have any Web features at all.

19:12 MinceR; 26 200912 < bnchs> ok why the fuck is a web browser fully integrated into a OS

19:12 DaemonFC; If you were browsing around in IE, or in a Windows Explorer that you typed a Web address into, all it really took was a malicious ActiveX control, VBScript, or some form of code injection attack.

19:12 DaemonFC; Then your OS was basically hit with a rootkit.

19:12 MinceR; because otherwise they might be forced to stop bundling IE with Backdoors, or to allow it to be replaced with a real browser

19:12 bnchs; i remember when crashing the file manager crashes the entire desktop

19:12 bnchs; it still does

19:13 DaemonFC; Yeah, Windows Explorer still crashes all the time and the desktop disappears completely and then resets itself.

19:13 DaemonFC; It's very jarring.

19:13 DaemonFC; And it was doing that to me at least a few times a month in Windows 10 as of last year.

19:13 DaemonFC; And I hear the Windows 11 shell is even worse.

19:14 bnchs; because some guy at microsoft thought it was a good idea to integrate the shell into the file manager

19:14 DaemonFC; For a while, it could crash on people then accidentally recover the Windows 10 shell, only the Start menu didn't work.

19:14 bnchs; or the other way around

19:14 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^

19:14 DaemonFC; Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist.

19:15 MinceR; on Backdoors10, even alt+tab doesn't work while explorer.exe is frozen

19:16 MinceR; it's not even possible to give the focus to another window by clicking it

19:16 MinceR; just like IBM, people at MICROS~1 don't know what cohesion is either

19:16 MinceR; they just vomit every piece of code they can come up with into some massive blob

19:16 MinceR; and if one bit of it breaks, the whole thing breaks

19:16 bnchs; there was a windows 8.1 update that broke explorer.exe, i just remember one day waking up and turning on the PC, to find that the desktop is completely orange

19:17 bnchs; you couldn't uninstall the update since it done some irreversible damage, had to reinstall

19:18 DaemonFC; Microsoft (1998): Here's Outlook Express. You can use it for all your mail.

19:18 DaemonFC; User uses it: Outlook Express corrupts its mailbox every 200 times it loads or so. Microsoft never fixes it. Third party utility can recover it sometimes.

19:19 DaemonFC; Microsoft (2006) removes Outlook Express in Windows Vista.

19:19 DaemonFC; Microsoft (2016) announces that Outlook Express actually was there for 10 years in a state where they rendered it unusable, and will now remove Outlook Express, really.

19:20 MinceR; lol

19:20 DaemonFC; Microsoft (1999) recommends using syskey.exe as a security feature, even though it doesn't encrypt the whole disk, or even most of it, and uses a 40-bit cipher that has backdoors.

19:21 DaemonFC; Microsoft (2001) patches it up and says it's okay to use it now.

19:21 DaemonFC; Microsoft (2006) includes the Amazing Bitlocker, which gets tripped up by a lot of things, including BIOS updates, and has backdoors for the police.

19:22 DaemonFC; Microsoft (2020) Syskey.exe is being used by technical support scammers and has been for a while, and we're removing that. You should use Bitlocker.

19:22 bnchs; nobody uses syskey, except scammers who want to lockdown the data of disobeying customers

19:24 DaemonFC; Microsoft (1996) We're doing this thing called Internet Explorer, it's fantastic. Microsoft (1998) It's a part of the desktop now and it leaks memory like crazy and crashes the computer 3-4 times a day and there's no uninstaller and it makes your computer too dangerous to use. Microsoft (2001) And it's part of Windows XP too, and XP has a software firewall, but we turned that off and we won't work on IE anymore because Netscape is dead.

19:25 DaemonFC; Microsoft (2006) Here's an update for IE. We're working on it again because Firefox is used by everyone now. Microsoft (2014) IE is crap and cannot be used safely. Here's Edge. It's a fork of IE and it will be around for many, many years.

19:26 DaemonFC; Microsoft (2019): Well, Windows Phone flopped and we want to fire a lot of people, so we're just keeping a few people on to pretend the New Edge is something other than Chrome with our spyware in it. It's for "Linux" now. You know, our DEB packages have trashed Debian before because we're idiots, but you can install this. It's great!

19:27 DaemonFC; MinceR, I wonder why no Edge Flatpak or Edge Snap.

19:28 DaemonFC; At least if they screw those up, the "damage" will be contained to the program failing to install or start, not wiping out the entire OS.

19:28 MinceR; maybe MICROS~1 is busy making their own bloatpak

19:29 DaemonFC; My guess is that Flatpak will just be more of an excuse for Debian's bureaucracy to entrench its position and refuse to package applications people want.

19:30 DaemonFC; It's not too much of a limb to go out on, because I think we're there already.

19:31 DaemonFC; Fedora makes Flatpak fairly confusing. They repackage a lot of the ones that are on Flathub and then you get a choice to install either one.

19:31 DaemonFC; Their position is it will work without Flathub, and including Flathub is legally dangerous for Fedora because it could point to software that is encumbered by patents.

19:32 DaemonFC; They may as well just leave it alone and let people who want Flatpaks use Flathub and there'd be less confusion.

19:33 DaemonFC; MinceR, Little Caesar's has a Batman pizza now.

19:33 MinceR; but is it made from real batman?

19:33 DaemonFC; So for an extra two dollars, you can have them cut out part of your pizza that you don't get and use less pepperoni on what's left, and it'll be shaped like the Bat Signal.

19:33 DaemonFC; :)

19:34 MinceR; batman probably tastes like pork

19:34 DaemonFC; I don't know. I've never tasted human.

19:34 DaemonFC; Probably tastes like chicken anyway.

19:35 DaemonFC; Nobody seems to have complained about Squid Game being homophobic for some reason.

19:35 DaemonFC; One of the rich people paying to watch was some fat pervert with a Texas accent who demanded that one of the servers join him in his private room.

19:36 DaemonFC; Of course, he got killed and left there because the server was an undercover cop.

19:36 DaemonFC; This whole "gay people are always the villains" thing is over with in Hollywood, but they're compensating for it now in ways that are just as offensive.

19:36 DaemonFC; It seems gays as the villain is okay in Korea.

19:47 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 22.41 k/sec., IPFS upstream 24.30 average k/sec., average swarm size 255.64

19:47 DaemonFC; A bunch of stuff about Microsoft, at least last I looked.

19:47 DaemonFC; I got a free Computer Repair Technician class in 2002 and took it.

19:47 DaemonFC; And the hardware part was informative, but the software part was all Windows troubleshooting.

19:47 DaemonFC; Of course it's all obsolete now anyway because Windows has new errors.

19:48 DaemonFC; Of course some from then are still there.

19:48 DaemonFC; I was actually having a nightmare last night and Windows XP was in it.

19:48 DaemonFC; I was on this laptop and somehow Windows XP was on it and I was trying to figure out where my files went.

19:49 DaemonFC; I don't remember it all, but the Windows XP progress bar was there. Moving slowly. Doing nothing.

19:49 DaemonFC; I had so many of those incidents where I really did lose everything to XP and had to go digging through backups.

19:50 DaemonFC; Not from hardware problems, but just because the software was so bad.

19:51 bnchs; thankfully our country is poor, so we mostly teach free software (even one of the books have brief info about the GNU project)

19:51 bnchs; on windows though

19:51 DaemonFC; I was on /r/piracy the other day.

19:52 DaemonFC; Someone's professor had dumped a pirate copy of MS Office 2016 on Google Drive with instructions on how to install it and what not to do because it would trigger Product Activation, which would fail.

19:52 DaemonFC; Then people said someone would rat him out, and the OP said the country was so poor that nobody would give a shit anyway.

19:52 bnchs; we have pirated office 2007 on USBs/DVDs

19:53 DaemonFC; In the US, Microsoft gets rid of "piracy" at universities by just giving away licenses so cheap that nobody bothers. But then you don't realize it, but the $5 license for Office comes with a $500 "technology fee" in your tuition that year.

19:53 DaemonFC; And nobody tells you a lot of that goes to Microsoft.

19:53 SomeH4x0r; if you activate it via KMS (which can be run on localhost), the activation passes

19:53 DaemonFC; They just want to make it look cheap so that nobody complains.

19:53 DaemonFC; schestowitz, ^

19:54 DaemonFC; But part of the student loan crisis in America is people paying for Microsoft products stuffed away in mystery fees from the university.

21:38 schestowitz; re:

21:38 schestowitz; "Do not be fooled into accepting false claims about "security updates". It is perfectly possible to write software that is secure from the get-go. However, it is expensive to do that. It cuts into profit. Secure software can also protect its owner from the vendor. There is an unspoken conflict of interests in all discussions around cyber-security. Big companies ship insecure software not because they are stupid, but because they intend to. They

21:38 schestowitz; are lazy, tight and dishonest."
