2021-05-24 18:32:37 @zurdo:zurdo.si huh, that wiki article has been updated from the last time I checked it out and now mentions systemd-nspawn directly, so it's almost definitely what Dan meant. Still, good link :P
2021-05-24 18:31:16 @zurdo:zurdo.si if a chroot would be enough, https://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation may be all you need, which sounds like it isn't far from what Dan Johansen | Manjaro ARM said (it uses qemu-user-static). This mechanism teaches your x86 kernel to use qemu to live emulate binaries on the fly
2021-05-24 15:43:54 @fedx:matrix.org Ok. I will definitely take a look. Thank you so much!
2021-05-24 19:37:04 paperdigits I think nix containers also use systemd-nspawn
2021-05-24 19:48:51 fedx This may be a really bad idea, but I was able to get qemu-static-user working with Podman. Thank you so much for all your help!

2021-05-24 20:30:14 ⚠️ kendall Bad event received, event type: m.room.message
2021-05-24 21:35:21 kendall For anyone running a matrix server. Do you open up port 8448, or do you run federation over 443? I've seen the instructions on running it over 443 and thought "Cool, one less port to open". It worked, but then it brought the whole network to its knees. I just opened up 8448 and it seems to be working alright....Well, that is if you're able to see this 🙃 .
2021-05-24 23:25:14 dhanesh95 Kendall: I'm able to see this so federation is working. 👍🏼
2021-05-24 23:25:14 As for the ports, I run federation over 8448 for my server. I believe it's better to stick the default if you have other services / websites that are running alongside your matrix instance.

2021-05-25 13:16:40 Hmmm, checked around and I can't see anything. There is an bash-completion package in ubuntu and debian buster though.

2021-05-25 13:37:45 That would get really ugly really quickly. Things are so opinionated, and some ideas don't apply to all shells. They're different languages after all

2021-05-25 15:01:25 -- Notice(_neb_rssbot_=40noblepayne=3ajupiterbroadcasting.com): LINUX Unplugged: 407: And the Answer is... ( https://linuxunplugged.com/407 )
2021-05-25 15:02:29 fedx Hey, I am working on a science fair project. I am wanting to make a mobile Linux operating system. I need a mentor who is “a professional in their field.” It is not a big commitment. Mostly it’s to make sure I don’t hurt myself, and this does not hugely relate to the computer science category. If anyone would be willing to mentor me I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
2021-05-25 15:03:24 strit What does mentoring entail?
2021-05-25 15:05:32 fedx Mostly it is so that I don’t misuse dangerous chemicals and hurt someone. However I would be hard pressed to do something dangerous with my project.
2021-05-25 15:06:21 strit Well, I do help create the default OS on the PinePhone, but we use our own scripts for it.
2021-05-25 15:06:50 strit So I might be able to give pointers and advice, depending of the OS you are basing on.
2021-05-25 15:09:43 fedx Well thank you so much. I need a mentor to start so nothing is set in stone as of the moment. Mind if I send some paperwork documenting that I am not participating in dangerous scientific acts?
2021-05-25 15:11:04 strit Not sure how dangerous putting together a bunch of linux packages can be.... 😉
2021-05-25 15:14:34 fedx Thanks so much. I mean there’s Kali?
2021-05-25 15:15:42 strit Kali is made for a very specific usecase though. 😉
2021-05-25 15:17:42 fedx Agreed, but it also is how you use it.
2021-05-25 15:18:44 strit Kali shouldn't really be used outside those couple of usecases.
2021-05-25 15:21:21 fedx Yah, it technically can work for anything if you try hard enough, but it would not be fun.
2021-05-25 15:21:41 strit That's linux in general though.
2021-05-25 15:22:27 fedx Yah, mind if I DM the documents to you?
2021-05-25 15:22:47 strit Sure.

2021-05-26 00:27:16 masonbeelimited My pre-coffee thought of the morning: Microsoft using WSL and allowing GUI apps to run under Windows means there can never be a killer app on linux.
2021-05-26 01:40:01 d-io We have killer operating systems, though. Microsoft will never achieve something far more fundamental - an operating system that respects its users
2021-05-26 01:41:27 d-io Most people don't switch to Linux for a few apps anyway, it's a whole bunch of reasons
2021-05-26 02:10:57 masonbeelimited Linux as an app :) LAAA!
2021-05-26 02:15:28 masonbeelimited True, I switched to Linux because of interest and it aligned with my software political views (A long long time ago, I can still remember when xp used to make me cry, and i knew that if I had my chance, i could make that hardware dance, and maybe not be spied on for a while. Ms Vista made me shiver, with every update they delivered....etc...)
2021-05-26 02:22:38 irunbash My hope is that after WSL GUI support is released we can make a pretty compelling argument for targeting Linux as the exclusive desktop platform.
2021-05-26 02:24:32 irunbash I mean… what company wouldn’t want to have one codebase for Windows, ChromeOS, and this thing a lot of strange people seem to like called Linux.
2021-05-26 02:25:14 d-io I really doubt it. Do you really expect all people to be able to set up WSL on their computers? It would be black magic to them
2021-05-26 02:25:44 masonbeelimited Windows and ChromeOS yes, but the Linux GUI market is pretty small.
2021-05-26 02:25:47 d-io Maybe developer focused apps will be released like that, but that's the best we can hope for
2021-05-26 02:26:26 irunbash You could just make an installer on windows that sets it up.
2021-05-26 02:29:40 irunbash Installing is a trivial issue. The real problem I see is moving from a legacy app.
2021-05-26 02:29:55 irunbash And developer onboarding
2021-05-26 02:29:55 d-io WSL itself is under Microsoft's control. They won't make it into something that threatens Windows in any way, and losing apps isn't something they will allow to happen
2021-05-26 02:30:18 irunbash It doesn’t threaten Microsoft tho.
2021-05-26 02:32:55 irunbash Why would they care if your app is a native windows app or Linux though WSL?
2021-05-26 02:55:18 d-io Well, it doesn't work like a Windows app with all the features. And I'm not sure that WSL is available on Windows Home editions
2021-05-26 04:09:53 terrestrial-alien does WSL being under GPL3 and non LPGL make Windows Open.Source too? time for opng!!!
2021-05-26 04:12:31 terrestrial-alien 'cause if Microsoft is contributing code to the Linux Kernel for WSL... that's two masters stuff!

2021-05-26 17:07:16 GCP has the free trial but also has “free tier” that is always free. I thought AWS had an equivalent but I’m not 100% sure on that.

2021-05-26 17:10:30 Yes, I never had a problem with the gimp name, but glimpse at least did work
2021-05-26 17:10:59 paperdigits Suck that it seems oracle, the dude's workplace was keeping tabs on what he was doing in his free time.
2021-05-26 17:11:19 paperdigits That's some late stage capitalism for ya

2021-05-26 17:17:01 Yeah, I didn't love the name. I started using it as a teen and my mom was very worried about what kind of weird software I was downloading. (As if it wasn't hard enough to switch to free/alternative software in the '00s!)
2021-05-26 17:17:01 It might be stuff that's also in the latest versions of GIMP, but I liked the UX in Glimpse.

2021-05-26 17:17:58 Glimpse never changed any UX or UI from gimp, they patched out the gimp name

2021-05-26 17:21:26 corrinado I didn't have anything against glimpse as a project, but I never felt that what they were offering was compelling in any way. Perhaps that shows my age? I understand their reasoning for attempting a change to the name, but imho it needed to be combined with some other improvements before I could be enticed to give it a go.

2021-05-26 17:22:56 If anything, it gave people who hate the name gimp a place to contribute and put their energy in positive direction.
2021-05-26 17:23:36 konomi Biggest problem with gimp is even trying to suggest using it in any work environment, you'll get the glare of your life the second you mention the name along with a "we can't use something with that name in our organisation" I honestly just wish they'd change it it hurts adoption massively
2021-05-26 17:24:05 infoseclibsoc Check out Glimpse
2021-05-26 17:24:31 infoseclibsoc It’s a rebranded and slightly redesigned version of what is essentially Gimp
2021-05-26 17:24:45 konomi Literally just a post a few messages above how glimpse is more than likely a dead project now

2021-05-26 17:27:13 That's what glimpse was... But not enough people wanted to keep it going.
2021-05-26 17:27:29 infoseclibsoc Ah man, shame
2021-05-26 17:27:34 infoseclibsoc It was much better looking
2021-05-26 17:27:44 paperdigits Seemed like it was a one-ish person show
2021-05-26 17:27:55 paperdigits infoseclibsoc: they changed none of the ux or ui
2021-05-26 17:28:01 konomi That's because it's easier for orgs to throw some money at adobe
2021-05-26 17:28:06 paperdigits So I dunno how it was better looking
2021-05-26 17:28:22 infoseclibsoc Honestly though, isn’t there a simple skin to get Gimp to resemble PS and then it’s a job done?
2021-05-26 17:28:23 simondanerd I think that glimpse is a viable option. I think I may start using it in the place of GIMP. Too bad.

2021-05-26 17:28:54 That will just be more.confusing because it isn't exactly like ps
2021-05-26 17:29:12 konomi It never ended up in Debian repos for me so stuck with gimp
2021-05-26 17:29:23 simondanerd True. It is how I started using it tho.
2021-05-26 17:29:28 infoseclibsoc Professionally speaking people I know learn a tool and then that’s ‘what they know’ for a very long time afterwards…is there an officially skin/mod that does this perfectly ?
2021-05-26 17:29:29 paperdigits Also... Did you see if you want to save a jpeg in PS now you get to use the Export As menu... Just like gimp ;)

2021-05-26 17:30:08 No and there never will be one that does it perfectly. There isn't feature parity

2021-05-26 17:34:13 konomi Its also more like sub par free Photoshop than anything

2021-05-26 17:35:43 konomi Yes it's a very good free photoshop
2021-05-26 17:35:44 paperdigits I've been seeking this person who uses every Photoshop feature for years
2021-05-26 17:36:11 konomi I hope to replace it with a slightly better free photoshop if anything takes it's place

2021-05-26 17:37:30 About as meaningless as "make it like Photoshop" yes ;)
2021-05-26 17:38:04 konomi I mean they did get around to the single user interface after being hounded for years
2021-05-26 17:38:05 infoseclibsoc If you worked at the Royal Academy if Arts in London like I do then you’d perhaps have a leg to stand on….

2021-05-26 17:38:48 konomi *single window interface
2021-05-26 17:38:50 infoseclibsoc Their entire student post graduate department repeat the same thing to be, every year: why learn this? It’s complex, it’s ‘new’, design is poor, no parity etc

2021-05-26 17:39:22 paperdigits Has been for a while.
2021-05-26 17:39:59 infoseclibsoc I mean, making bold claims requires experience or expertise in getting user feedback. I’d say defending free photoshop for the clearly stated objections of actual designers seems a strange hill to die on. Right?
2021-05-26 17:40:18 konomi Yes and I remember when people asked for it and how long gimp decided it wasn't needed

2021-05-26 17:40:46 OK so we'll keep living in the past or... ?
2021-05-26 17:41:33 konomi I'm firmly in the present but that wasn't really the topic the point was gimp has already become more like photoshop
2021-05-26 17:42:05 konomi So while the phrase "more like photoshop" might annoy them they have obviously made gimp more like photoshop
2021-05-26 17:42:17 konomi And that change is one example of them doing so
2021-05-26 17:42:31 paperdigits OK good.
2021-05-26 17:44:19 infoseclibsoc Low user adoption will kill Gimp: Photoshop is the industry standard and people are used to it, rightly or wrongly
2021-05-26 17:44:41 konomi One other was but don't quote me I think the fuzzy select tool used to be 30 by default it was changed to 10 which made it behave more like photoshop
2021-05-26 17:45:23 konomi I don't think we'll ever get a nice open source image editor at least not one that will see wide adoption
2021-05-26 17:46:01 paperdigits Its nice for me I use it all the time. It has all the features I need.
2021-05-26 17:46:02 infoseclibsoc Adobe Lightroom also managed to establish itself as an industry standard DAM (digital asset manager) that is hard to get photographers to move away from: and the integrations with PS make that even harder to sever
2021-05-26 17:46:30 paperdigits Lightroom seems to be a good DAM, but the editor is not great
2021-05-26 17:46:40 paperdigits But all DAM software is bad
2021-05-26 17:47:22 paperdigits Like... People have some whacky workflows then say "why don't you support that?"
2021-05-26 17:47:29 paperdigits Photographers are the worst.
2021-05-26 17:48:36 infoseclibsoc It’s slow, poorly optimised but is the only reason I have win 10 still : the Linux alternatives are poor
2021-05-26 17:49:03 konomi I can't honestly speak about the current offerings I've used gimp for so long and not touched photoshop for a long time, friends I know though sooner pirate photoshop than use gimp
2021-05-26 17:49:30 paperdigits Yeah but people never want to relearn tooling
2021-05-26 17:49:33 corrinado I get the enterprise adoption argument at base. I suppose I've never met an enterprise that was using anything other than PS on macs. The only GIMP I ever saw at users desks were outside of the graphics arts/marketing departments and were individual choices based on the fact that the company wasn't willing to purchase PS licenses for non-graphics artists. A lot of my generation was ok with initialisms (for right or wrong). But I get the arguments against it.
2021-05-26 17:49:50 paperdigits Tools should be a one-time time investment and then work the same forever
2021-05-26 17:50:14 konomi All the guides they read are for photoshop, trying to get those guides to work in gimp at times is next to impossible
2021-05-26 17:50:18 paperdigits Like a shovel
2021-05-26 17:50:40 paperdigits Maybe I got lucky, but my professors taught concepts
2021-05-26 17:50:59 paperdigits So when I left Photoshop for gimp, it was learning some menus and clicking stuff
2021-05-26 17:51:12 paperdigits But I knew the conceptual stuff so things still made sense.
2021-05-26 17:51:22 infoseclibsoc Adding folders into LR and then have that folder structure abstracted away into dates is excellent: Capture One copied it, they all did. The Linux alternatives just show you a folder view and it gets messy. Not to mention the. Video support on Linux options is poor and doesn’t integrate directly into Gimp etc. And then there’s the legacy migrations issue: you can’t get your edits off if PS into any Linux alternative and have them all imported

2021-05-26 17:53:14 Muscle memory is a real thing: the fact that Adobe can hike up the prices AND STILL make $8 billion in profit means people don’t want to switch and it’s painful to do so.

2021-05-26 17:54:21 Yeah, the entire ecosystem of training is a real boon to PS users
2021-05-26 17:55:05 bmo.dev It's been a minute since I used Photoshop, but don't most people use the feature set of CS5 anyway? I've heard they've done some cool AI stuff, but most of the standard tools have been there for a while
2021-05-26 17:55:17 konomi Yep get the fast learning experience vs spending multiple hours wondering why your result doesn't look the same as the example
2021-05-26 17:55:50 paperdigits Translating stuff between applications isn't that difficult if you understand the concepts and what you're trying to accomplish. But most don't.

2021-05-26 17:56:17 To mica's point: Concepts are powerful and are a great way to translate guides to different tools. Unfortunately a lot of muscle memory gets in the way all too often.

2021-05-26 17:57:06 That’s a Dev talking: people don’t work that way. That’s why Apple make billions. It’s the UX and UI.

2021-05-26 17:57:50 Im not a dev but ok
2021-05-26 17:58:09 paperdigits Its the theory of photography, not the tools
2021-05-26 17:58:45 konomi Eh I think apples ui can be quite confusing at times they do do it right at times
2021-05-26 17:58:45 paperdigits Adobe has done an excellent job of abstracting away everything difficult into a one slider solution that works great until it fails.

2021-05-26 17:58:49 Poor software design means they have to: it’s utter madness to even argue people should have to and is why adoption is so low in comparison .

2021-05-26 17:59:33 £120k a year job later though and it’s not your problem: support picks up the tab and life goes on.
2021-05-26 18:00:01 konomi From what the users of say iphones tell me they go apple because it's familiar easy to get help with and repairers are easier to find
2021-05-26 18:00:09 konomi Monoculture can be useful

2021-05-26 18:01:12 True: marketing , training , social media , financial incentives to institutions to adopt their software etc. They all play a part. But I mean in terms of getting people to switch , familiarity is really attracting
2021-05-26 18:01:48 konomi Where as your weird not Samsung android phone is going to be a lot harder to manage

2021-05-26 18:01:56 PS works fine: my job using it means I can deal with the ‘fails’ as they come but I’m still earning . Gimp doesn’t give me, or others. , this benefit
2021-05-26 18:02:05 paperdigits All the training material is written by adobe and they loop.you in with student discounts and whatever
2021-05-26 18:02:20 kusuriya yep thats how a lot of places get you
2021-05-26 18:02:25 kusuriya get the kids young
2021-05-26 18:02:42 paperdigits PS is just a obtuse as GIMP
2021-05-26 18:02:59 paperdigits You need to know what you want before you get in the application.
2021-05-26 18:03:08 kusuriya yep but you learned it in school and your first job made you use it, etc etc etc
2021-05-26 18:03:24 konomi Yep more learning resources
2021-05-26 18:03:41 paperdigits Yes, this is the same problem as windows vs Linux
2021-05-26 18:03:53 konomi I do agree PS is obtuse to use gimp shares that attribute with it
2021-05-26 18:03:59 kusuriya thats how Microsoft got to be king for office software too
2021-05-26 18:04:13 kusuriya got everyone used to Word and Outlook in school or at work

2021-05-26 18:04:18 Context is everything though: PS is the incumbent, Gimp isn’t. It needs to do different things to succeed to PS. Adobe price gouging still doesn’t seem to upset it’s user base !
2021-05-26 18:04:20 kusuriya and people chase what they know
2021-05-26 18:04:21 konomi I was trying to do multiple selects on gimp for exampe
2021-05-26 18:04:53 konomi You'd think you could just select multiple layers at once to add selects or just switch layers and add another select
2021-05-26 18:05:03 konomi Nope you have to save your select as a path
2021-05-26 18:05:21 konomi They apply it to the other layer with that select
2021-05-26 18:05:28 paperdigits What do you mean by "selects"?

2021-05-26 18:06:11 paperdigits Man I can't wait to go to photography conferences.
2021-05-26 18:06:16 konomi Web searching for help got me no where just kept trying things until I found something that worked
2021-05-26 18:06:16 infoseclibsoc Workflow issues like this are the most infuriating
2021-05-26 18:06:24 paperdigits Its going to be a shitshow
2021-05-26 18:07:03 konomi I don't know how PS would do what I wanted but gimp does it terribly
2021-05-26 18:07:11 infoseclibsoc I suspect Blender doesn’t have these issues, being more established as a viable industry tool?

2021-05-26 18:07:50 It took 15 years of hard, dedicated work to get there, but yes, sort of
2021-05-26 18:08:08 kusuriya Blender actually does have similar issues but they are not as bad because of 15 years of hard work getting companies to adopt it
2021-05-26 18:08:16 konomi Least adobe won't get that, hopefully?

2021-05-26 18:08:28 Web searches for Gimp issues make me contemplate becoming a acetic monk
2021-05-26 18:09:13 kusuriya and it was only really made possible because autodesk started slacking and doing very distasteful things and created an opening
2021-05-26 18:09:25 paperdigits Blender is just barely getting established as an industry tool
2021-05-26 18:09:29 kusuriya Gimp missed the similar opening with adobe sadly
2021-05-26 18:09:30 konomi yeah the documentation for processes you might commonly want to do on gimp suck
2021-05-26 18:10:20 kusuriya that was when adobe started making everyone go to Adobe Cloud, that would have been the time to go and showcase that with a bit of retraining you could get what adobe was now trying to turn into a service and get back your workflow
2021-05-26 18:10:49 konomi computing making geeks hate clouds of all shapes and sizes
2021-05-26 18:10:53 kusuriya the window has passed though so now its back to uphill battle
2021-05-26 18:10:55 konomi I personally loath that freaking term
2021-05-26 18:11:15 konomi generally follow it up with "on the cloud, you mean someone else's computer?"
2021-05-26 18:11:50 kusuriya well artsy folks dont like the idea of my tools will change on a whim and I have to pay a subscription fee for the privilege of my tools changing 🤮
2021-05-26 18:12:01 infoseclibsoc SaaS is much better as a term
2021-05-26 18:12:15 kusuriya I only really got to know that feeling after working in a game studio
2021-05-26 18:12:22 konomi I've heard I can't recall correctly but someone might know
2021-05-26 18:12:25 kusuriya Artists are pickier than cats

2021-05-26 18:12:27 Actually we have quite a few new darktable users that left for this reason
2021-05-26 18:13:01 kusuriya yep IMO darktable actually did capitalize on that pretty good and got a lot of people away from I think its lightroom
2021-05-26 18:13:09 paperdigits And I suspect we will have more when Light room Classic stops being developed.
2021-05-26 18:13:27 konomi honestly I think people get that having their image editor being cloud based isn't really beneficial to them
2021-05-26 18:13:37 konomi mostly when the fees roll in
2021-05-26 18:13:38 paperdigits And you get the Lightroom in a web browser with adboe cloud storage

2021-05-26 18:13:44 Not liking that thought
2021-05-26 18:13:45 kusuriya but to be fair also darktable was better than light room at the time you just had to get over the hump
2021-05-26 18:14:06 paperdigits > In reply to @infoseclibsoc:matrix.org
2021-05-26 18:14:06 > Not liking that thought
2021-05-26 18:14:06 Obviously where they're going
2021-05-26 18:14:18 konomi "hang on I brought this software 3 years ago and I'm still using it 5 years after that what am I paying for?"
2021-05-26 18:14:19 kusuriya and the community was better at helping people over the hump than the gimp community has been IMO
2021-05-26 18:14:24 konomi the cogs started turning
2021-05-26 18:14:31 paperdigits So you can rent LR and pay them.for storage
2021-05-26 18:14:39 paperdigits It'll be great or something
2021-05-26 18:15:09 paperdigits My SO is a full adobe suite user
2021-05-26 18:15:11 kusuriya yep thats where they want to be and since so many companies did just that when they moved photoshop to adobe cloud SaaS only that is the way they will keep going
2021-05-26 18:15:16 paperdigits Their cloud thing is horrific
2021-05-26 18:15:25 konomi also anyone caught on a bad internet connection will probably regret web based apps and the cloud pretty quickly
2021-05-26 18:15:29 kusuriya oh yeah I havent heard a single person that LIKES adobe cloud
2021-05-26 18:15:39 kusuriya they just deal with it
2021-05-26 18:15:42 paperdigits They can't even sync fucking files
2021-05-26 18:15:57 paperdigits The cloud sync stalls like twice a day
2021-05-26 18:16:02 simondanerd That's true. It's a huge RAM hog at 500+ MB at idle.
2021-05-26 18:16:27 konomi when you're glad you're a software dev and not a graphic designer
2021-05-26 18:16:37 kusuriya it also thrashes your IO to do simple file syncs when it works
2021-05-26 18:16:42 konomi it honestly sounds worse
2021-05-26 18:17:39 kusuriya I remember having to change out people's scratch devices when I worked in the game studio because a Xeon at 3GHz couldnt keep up because it was waiting on file IO constantly
2021-05-26 18:17:41 paperdigits Well, alternatives exist and there are.communities to help you switch
2021-05-26 18:17:55 paperdigits We are chillin, doing our thing over here
2021-05-26 18:17:56 kusuriya we needed to stripe several SSDs together to get it to behave right
2021-05-26 18:18:08 paperdigits Maybe not as slick as adobe
2021-05-26 18:18:14 paperdigits But... Freedom
2021-05-26 18:18:18 konomi should we code better, no the system resources are to blame
2021-05-26 18:18:25 konomi why can't I spawn 1000 half open connections
2021-05-26 18:18:29 kusuriya yeah the trick is we are edge cases here where freedom matters
2021-05-26 18:18:31 konomi terrible admins 0/10
2021-05-26 18:18:49 kusuriya for a lot of people they couldnt give 2 cares about freedom they just want the software they are used to working
2021-05-26 18:18:58 konomi sad but true
2021-05-26 18:19:08 kusuriya or at least what they have been told to use working
2021-05-26 18:19:17 konomi I am a proponent of sneaking in the freedom while making the software as easy to use as possible
2021-05-26 18:19:35 konomi hence the rather salty rant about gimp
2021-05-26 18:19:37 paperdigits At least for photographers, most are solo and choose their own tooling
2021-05-26 18:19:41 paperdigits So... I dunno
2021-05-26 18:19:45 simondanerd You could bring in GIMP on a USB drive... That's what I do at school
2021-05-26 18:19:48 kusuriya freedom is sadly not a desired feature, but making me pay a subscription fee... that hits the average person in the right spot
2021-05-26 18:19:49 konomi mention pidgin and I might get even more salty :3
2021-05-26 18:19:52 paperdigits Like I said, the community is here

2021-05-26 18:20:27 that sounds like hacking to me, time to visit the principle
2021-05-26 18:20:34 kusuriya yeah the community is there but there is a level of outreach that needs to happen and IMO thats where gimp falls down pretty routinely
2021-05-26 18:20:54 konomi mica: if I a may ask which community?

2021-05-26 18:21:05 konomi like is there a specific one I've just never found?
2021-05-26 18:21:09 kusuriya they are improving
2021-05-26 18:21:19 konomi talking about gimp of course

2021-05-26 18:21:19 For photography, https://discuss.pixls.us
2021-05-26 18:21:33 kusuriya but now they have to wait for the next break if they ever get one, hopefully it will be as adobe tries to force everything to *aaS
2021-05-26 18:21:44 kusuriya but adobe is sorta slow boiling that frog
2021-05-26 18:21:48 konomi isn't discuss a bit on the nose for an open source peep?
2021-05-26 18:22:03 paperdigits Discuss is the URL for our forum
2021-05-26 18:22:18 paperdigits PIXLS.US is the community
2021-05-26 18:22:21 konomi ah my bad 8 am and insomia I derped
2021-05-26 18:22:37 paperdigits We have tutorials and blogs and what not
2021-05-26 18:23:08 konomi oh this does look nice thanks for linking
2021-05-26 18:23:30 kusuriya but yeah photographers are a bit of an easy one to hit because they do get to usually determine their full stack
2021-05-26 18:23:34 paperdigits We make photos and software
2021-05-26 18:23:39 konomi I'm not super into image editing I just want to be able to open gimp and do something a little beyond resizing an image without running and screaming into the night
2021-05-26 18:23:57 kusuriya when you get into things like graphic designers or games artists they pick what the Producer of art uses

2021-05-26 18:24:04 I'm a photographer, so I work with my tools
2021-05-26 18:24:28 paperdigits I have professional friends who use only foss
2021-05-26 18:24:34 kusuriya like the studio I worked in, the entire work flow top to bottom was what the Art producer used for decades
2021-05-26 18:24:35 paperdigits Inkscape and kdenlive
2021-05-26 18:24:57 konomi I only use open source atm I'd like to say foss but that's super hard to do
2021-05-26 18:25:09 konomi points at nvidia gpu
2021-05-26 18:25:11 kusuriya so 3dStudio Max, Photoshop, Lightroom, AfterEffects, and some software I always forget for light and shadow calculations
2021-05-26 18:25:21 konomi points at mmo that I really like playing
2021-05-26 18:25:35 paperdigits Well nvidia... Ugh
2021-05-26 18:25:36 paperdigits Haha
2021-05-26 18:25:56 kusuriya it was painful being the tech for that sometimes
2021-05-26 18:25:54 konomi points at firmware that i have no clue about but is definitely plotting to kill me in my sleep
2021-05-26 18:26:01 paperdigits kusuriya: yeah your studio has to be open to changr
2021-05-26 18:26:09 paperdigits * kusuriya: yeah your studio has to be open to change
2021-05-26 18:26:33 paperdigits Blender is getting good traction in the gaming space
2021-05-26 18:26:34 konomi mica: I want an ati card I already have to do a lot of work to play my games with this card but yeah we all know how fun gfx cards are to get atm
2021-05-26 18:26:38 kusuriya mica: yep most studios are not sadly because one person gets to dictate them so you have to convince them there is a better way
2021-05-26 18:26:39 konomi sorry amd not ati
2021-05-26 18:26:58 paperdigits I hope Godot will soon too, especially with a lot of gaming engines wanting a cut of the profit instead of licensing fees
2021-05-26 18:27:26 konomi I like my mmos I'm going to be stuck with them being non free for a very long time
2021-05-26 18:27:55 kusuriya I did that a bit a the studio I worked at and they ended up eventually using opensource tools for smaller parts of the system, and switching all non art version control from Perforce to git
2021-05-26 18:28:05 kusuriya art version control will probably forever remain in perforce though
2021-05-26 18:28:25 paperdigits Oh god perforce
2021-05-26 18:28:32 paperdigits Sorry for you
2021-05-26 18:28:36 kusuriya yep but for binary data there is nothing better
2021-05-26 18:28:51 kusuriya the art repo in git we stopped the import at 500TB
2021-05-26 18:28:57 kusuriya in perforce it was 25TB
2021-05-26 18:29:04 paperdigits I like git annex
2021-05-26 18:29:15 paperdigits But that might be too esoteric for most
2021-05-26 18:29:26 paperdigits All my raw files are in git annex
2021-05-26 18:29:26 idtn subversion isn't terrible for binary art assets
2021-05-26 18:29:31 kusuriya it didnt work well with how many people we had checking in
2021-05-26 18:29:31 idtn it's not the hotness but it's FOSS

2021-05-26 18:29:43 kusuriya Konomi (She/Her): yes
2021-05-26 18:29:54 paperdigits Probably on windows too
2021-05-26 18:29:56 simondanerd Yikes...
2021-05-26 18:30:03 konomi the stunned look doesn't come through on text but I assure you I have it right now
2021-05-26 18:30:07 kusuriya the game is 10 years old, has 10 years worth of versioned art assets
2021-05-26 18:30:41 kusuriya and being a racing game the way they have the art assets constructed is basically like you would build a car
2021-05-26 18:30:51 simondanerd Time for a backup in archives?
2021-05-26 18:30:52 kusuriya so there are pistons, and carbs, tires, etc, etc
2021-05-26 18:31:08 kusuriya cant backup data youre using
2021-05-26 18:31:19 kusuriya well cant delete data youre using
2021-05-26 18:31:22 konomi did none of you sleep ;p
2021-05-26 18:31:34 kusuriya its a game studio, sleep isnt allowed
2021-05-26 18:31:41 simondanerd Oh. It's being used... That's a big game
2021-05-26 18:31:49 kusuriya yeah its Forza
2021-05-26 18:32:01 simondanerd 👀
2021-05-26 18:32:07 konomi ah you're not going to get into trouble for telling us this are you?
2021-05-26 18:32:18 kusuriya nope
2021-05-26 18:32:20 simondanerd (we won't tell)
2021-05-26 18:32:21 kusuriya all of it is mostly stale
2021-05-26 18:32:27 konomi just checking
2021-05-26 18:32:31 kusuriya I havent been under that NDA for almost 5 years now
2021-05-26 18:32:40 konomi companies tend to be a little, well mean?
2021-05-26 18:32:46 idtn perforce in game dev isn't a secret I guess
2021-05-26 18:32:56 kusuriya yeah
2021-05-26 18:33:00 kusuriya on both counts
2021-05-26 18:33:15 konomi I just like making sure the people I am talking to don't end up in trouble ;p
2021-05-26 18:33:24 kusuriya there is legally not a ton they could do at this point even if they wanted to be mean
2021-05-26 18:33:43 konomi so on a scale of 1 to 10 how much did that gaming company make you want to leap off of something tall?
2021-05-26 18:33:46 kusuriya they would do it and I would ask for my 5 years of compensation
2021-05-26 18:33:50 kusuriya then everyone would walk away
2021-05-26 18:33:59 kusuriya 12
2021-05-26 18:34:04 konomi figured
2021-05-26 18:34:13 idtn c r u n c h
2021-05-26 18:34:15 kusuriya the studio wasnt bad, compared to other studios
2021-05-26 18:34:26 konomi honestly being a software dev is pretty terrible in general
2021-05-26 18:34:30 kusuriya but the average age is 25 and the expectations are high
2021-05-26 18:34:33 konomi I regret not getting into psychology
2021-05-26 18:34:59 kusuriya and nobody has any emphasis on anything but programming so being a systems guy there
2021-05-26 18:35:12 konomi companies from my experience seem to want to get devs now burn them out and just hire again
2021-05-26 18:36:01 kusuriya game companies are the worst for it
2021-05-26 18:36:10 konomi I've had it happen to me and anecdotally a bunch of people I know
2021-05-26 18:36:12 kusuriya once you get out of startups and game companies things are getting better
2021-05-26 18:36:13 idtn it depends on the org, some can be good to be a dev in
2021-05-26 18:36:16 idtn people tend to stay for years
2021-05-26 18:36:21 idtn where I'm at
2021-05-26 18:36:34 konomi unicorn orgs are rare ;p
2021-05-26 18:36:40 kusuriya it depends heavily on the org and managers though idtn is right

2021-05-26 18:36:42 Capitalism. It sucks balls
2021-05-26 18:36:43 idtn no, just boring I think
2021-05-26 18:36:53 idtn stick with boring companies
2021-05-26 18:37:02 kusuriya ive found it comes down to average age of the workforce
2021-05-26 18:36:57 konomi > In reply to @infoseclibsoc:matrix.org
2021-05-26 18:36:57 > Capitalism. It sucks balls
2021-05-26 18:36:57 apparently very poorly too
2021-05-26 18:37:29 kusuriya so right around 30 you get companies that put more emphesis on growing people and making sure they dont burn out
2021-05-26 18:37:35 idtn actually, I'll rephrase, get away from companies based out of the valley and it can be better
2021-05-26 18:37:58 kusuriya and I assume its because so many people probably have families, kids, etc, etc, etc, and their management also has those things
2021-05-26 18:38:00 konomi kusuriya: I feel like that's going to be the exception rather than the rule for software devs though
2021-05-26 18:38:03 kusuriya so you get more sympathy
2021-05-26 18:38:11 infoseclibsoc > In reply to @konomi:matrix.org
2021-05-26 18:38:11 > apparently very poorly too
2021-05-26 18:38:11 Hate the system : fighting hard to change it every day though. Workers are expendable and left to rot as things currently stand
2021-05-26 18:38:14 kusuriya hasnt been in my case
2021-05-26 18:38:31 konomi > In reply to @infoseclibsoc:matrix.org
2021-05-26 18:38:31 > Hate the system : fighting hard to change it every day
2021-05-26 18:38:31 > though. Workers are expendable and left to rot as things
2021-05-26 18:38:31 > currently stand
2021-05-26 18:38:31 with you on that just don't feel like ranting about it right now
2021-05-26 18:38:39 kusuriya Ive found dealing with software orgs the younger the org, and the closer to Silicon Valley they are the more likely they are to be turn and burn
2021-05-26 18:39:00 kusuriya the older the org and/or the further away from the valley the less likely they are to be turn and burn
2021-05-26 18:39:05 konomi I live in australia so the experience is ahem a world away ;p ?
2021-05-26 18:39:20 konomi but my country seems well into the burn and cut or offshoring
2021-05-26 18:39:35 kusuriya thats why I say in general I think it has more to do with age or maturity of an org
2021-05-26 18:39:50 konomi maybe when I'l older then
2021-05-26 18:40:03 kusuriya but from what I understand too .AU is also at the point the US was at in the mid 2000's where we were trying to send all the tech jobs off shore
2021-05-26 18:40:19 kusuriya so we didnt care that we burnt through people there was a cheaper guy in india ready to replace you
2021-05-26 18:40:25 idtn I'm sensitive to the turn and burn, I'm probably the old guy here
2021-05-26 18:40:32 konomi the joke is we are 10 years delayed america so probably
2021-05-26 18:41:26 kusuriya what got discovered with that at the time was the market wasnt ready to absorb that sorta work and it all ended up getting repatriated IIRC
2021-05-26 18:41:33 idtn * I'm sensitive to the churn and burn, I'm probably the old guy here
2021-05-26 18:41:51 idtn yeah that boomerang came right back on the forehead
2021-05-26 18:42:05 idtn eastern europe is still pretty hot though
2021-05-26 18:42:11 paperdigits Contractors also don't give a shit... they're there to do one specific job and do it as quickly as possible.
2021-05-26 18:42:21 kusuriya mica: that too :D
2021-05-26 18:42:34 paperdigits Even on-shore contractors
2021-05-26 18:42:44 konomi I doubt we'll have the same realisation here
2021-05-26 18:42:46 kusuriya yep
2021-05-26 18:43:00 kusuriya you probably will and in probably the same way companies here did
2021-05-26 18:43:19 konomi mostly because usa already has captured tech so there's no where else to go for that
2021-05-26 18:43:23 kusuriya a string of easily preventable mistakes because contractors an ocean away DGAF or lie to you about their ability
2021-05-26 18:43:47 kusuriya I wouldnt count on the US keeping tech talent in the mid term
2021-05-26 18:44:25 kusuriya there are a lot of tech people here that are going back to the places they immigrated from for various reasons around current events
2021-05-26 18:45:29 konomi I mean it really depends what opportunities will be available in their home countries
2021-05-26 18:45:41 konomi I'm not sure many other countries can offer those as well as the usa
2021-05-26 18:45:46 kusuriya especially since there are a lot of places that realized the cost savings of remote work thanks to 2020
2021-05-26 18:46:03 kusuriya > In reply to @konomi:matrix.org
2021-05-26 18:46:03 > I'm not sure many other countries can offer those as well
2021-05-26 18:46:03 > as the usa
2021-05-26 18:46:03 yet
2021-05-26 18:46:19 paperdigits USA: we are sinking quickly.
2021-05-26 18:46:38 kusuriya as you see tech people leave you'll see them bring freinds, start businesses if work doesnt exist
2021-05-26 18:46:43 kusuriya more places deal in remote work
2021-05-26 18:47:23 kusuriya the US sorta hit its foot with the shotgun and it may be hard to cauterize the wound
2021-05-26 18:47:37 konomi mmn maybe but seems like the usa has been holding onto that for a long time I don't expect that to change for awhile
2021-05-26 18:47:52 kusuriya yeah its really a medium term item
2021-05-26 18:47:55 kusuriya 5 - 25 years
2021-05-26 18:48:08 konomi definitely agree with that timeline
2021-05-26 18:48:15 kusuriya unless we get another incredibly boneheaded president that insists on shooting the other foot
2021-05-26 18:49:25 kusuriya but to be honest I think its going to be less of an exodus in the 8 - 25 year time frame and more of a we figured out how to incorporate remote work so were hiring globally now
2021-05-26 18:49:28 konomi can't have them not matching right :3 ?
2021-05-26 18:49:35 simondanerd Knowing the American people, we might
2021-05-26 18:49:49 kusuriya and probably sooner than later
2021-05-26 18:50:35 paperdigits Trump Jr. 2024 watch out
2021-05-26 18:50:48 simondanerd Lol
2021-05-26 18:50:49 paperdigits If he can lay off the blow for 10 minutes
2021-05-26 18:50:59 kusuriya nah I think Sr. will try again in 2024
2021-05-26 18:51:04 kusuriya Jr will wait till 2028
2021-05-26 18:51:14 kusuriya gotta sober up first
2021-05-26 18:51:16 konomi I really hate insomnia I am too exhausted to do anything useful but I can't get sleep to be able to do something more significant later /rage
2021-05-26 18:51:55 kusuriya oof
2021-05-26 18:52:32 paperdigits God willing Sr. will be in jail by 2023
2021-05-26 18:52:43 konomi that's my hope
2021-05-26 18:53:00 konomi as awful as that sounds to say
2021-05-26 18:53:07 kusuriya I hope but most of me says no hes too slippery
2021-05-26 18:53:20 simondanerd > In reply to @kusuriya:corrupted.io
2021-05-26 18:53:20 > Jr will wait till 2028
2021-05-26 18:53:20 He's getting a bit old... Maybe tho
2021-05-26 18:53:23 kusuriya hes been doing super shady illegal stuff that should have put him in jail for most of my life
2021-05-26 18:53:23 paperdigits Nah we can't hold people accountable
2021-05-26 18:53:37 paperdigits Especially people who tell us they're the most accountable.
2021-05-26 18:53:48 paperdigits Party of personal responsibility!
2021-05-26 18:54:00 kusuriya like if it was anyone other than trump what he did to fund his casino in Atlantic city would have put you in jail for the rest of your life
2021-05-26 18:54:17 kusuriya he got put on an allowance and repayment plan
2021-05-26 18:54:31 konomi what is he a house?
2021-05-26 18:54:44 kusuriya I have to wonder
2021-05-26 18:54:57 konomi my brain: "imagine the smell in that house" me: "please stop"
2021-05-26 18:55:25 kusuriya but to be honest in the next decade were going to see a shift to remote in the US
2021-05-26 18:55:24 paperdigits O no
2021-05-26 18:55:37 kusuriya and when that happens for tech roles were going to see people spread out
2021-05-26 18:55:51 kusuriya and its going to suck for people that bought property in the tech hubs like SF
2021-05-26 18:55:57 paperdigits I am 100% remote and its awesome
2021-05-26 18:56:01 kusuriya but maybe ill finally be able to afford the house I wanted
2021-05-26 18:56:11 konomi envious x.x
2021-05-26 18:56:39 konomi with my anxiety I'd love to work from home but businesses here are obsessed control freaks
2021-05-26 18:56:51 kusuriya Ive been 100% remote for 2020 and my employer says "we want you to come in when we open in 2022 to justify real estate expenses but..."
2021-05-26 18:57:15 kusuriya they are leaning toward asking for 1 day a year in the office minimum
2021-05-26 18:57:44 konomi we had another outbreak of covid here just after they started allowing employers to force people back to the middle of the city
2021-05-26 18:57:48 konomi it's a "great look"
2021-05-26 18:58:47 kusuriya yeah my parent company is basically telling the US side of the house "take care of your people nobody has to go into the office until things look better trust the WHO"
2021-05-26 18:59:03 konomi again much envy
2021-05-26 18:59:10 kusuriya its interesting to have our german arm's employee council speak for us
2021-05-26 18:59:33 kusuriya because normally they dont get a say on employees in the US :D
2021-05-26 19:01:11 konomi wonder if I can bother a doctor to give me sleeping pills, I tried last time and got the line "you're too young to be needing those"
2021-05-26 19:01:59 kusuriya they might have you try non drug based therapies first, which totally try them sleeping pills dont really give you restful sleep
2021-05-26 19:02:12 konomi tried rose hip stuff once
2021-05-26 19:02:22 konomi my burps smelt like flowers
2021-05-26 19:02:25 kusuriya meditation apparently works wonders
2021-05-26 19:02:33 konomi didn't really help with the sleeping part though
2021-05-26 19:03:03 kusuriya I dont know personally though the last time I had insomnia the doc just took my anti-depressants down a notch
2021-05-26 19:03:04 konomi meditation does not work for me
2021-05-26 19:03:10 konomi it's 100% or asleep
2021-05-26 19:04:46 konomi been like that since I was a kid and it;s really hard to get people to listen to those sort of problems
2021-05-26 19:04:52 konomi much less help with it
2021-05-26 19:07:46 rw_grim > In reply to @konomi:matrix.org
2021-05-26 19:07:46 > mention pidgin and I might get even more salty :3
2021-05-26 19:07:46 hmm?
2021-05-26 19:09:08 simondanerd Lol that profile pic
2021-05-26 19:09:16 konomi I see you have an accounts.xml file, shame if anything were to... happen to it!!!
2021-05-26 19:11:04 rw_grim well apparently I'm missing a lot of context... anyways, if you have something to say about pidgin (good or bad) i'm all ears :)
2021-05-26 19:14:51 kusuriya just miss it :(
2021-05-26 19:15:14 rw_grim why are you missing it? we had 3 releases last month alone :)
2021-05-26 19:15:55 kusuriya because the networks I use every time I've tried to use it anymore just dont seem to work as well as they used to and I just crawl back to the native client
2021-05-26 19:16:05 kusuriya only exception was AWS Chime which I dont use anymore
2021-05-26 19:16:31 rw_grim gotcha, yeah pidgin2 has a lot of short comings that we can't exactly fix in pidgin2/purple2 because of api guaranties
2021-05-26 19:16:56 konomi honestly I've moved on from pidgin but one of the big problems I had was that it never supported OMEMO encryption
2021-05-26 19:17:16 konomi past that if it crashed it almost always took out the accounts.xml file filling it with garbage
2021-05-26 19:17:18 rw_grim Konomi (She/Her): there's a third party plugin named lurch that support omemeo on xmpp
2021-05-26 19:17:23 kusuriya its one that I keep checking in on the matrix plugin through waiting for it to get better because heck would I jump ship for that
2021-05-26 19:17:41 konomi grim: came too late to be useful
2021-05-26 19:17:41 rw_grim in 18 years of involvement with pidgin, a crash has never taken out my accounts.xml file
2021-05-26 19:17:46 konomi I'd already given up and left pidgin by then
2021-05-26 19:17:53 rw_grim not saying it didn't happen to you, but we can't fix what we can't reproduce :)
2021-05-26 19:18:36 konomi I don't really have much left to say past that very old memories now
2021-05-26 19:19:22 konomi pidgin logs 1 2010-03-25 to 2010-08-15 lets just say I used it for a very long time
2021-05-26 19:20:20 konomi really need to delete all that some time
2021-05-26 19:20:23 kusuriya yeah for me it was just pidgin became not really useful after AIM died
2021-05-26 19:20:28 rw_grim okay, i'm not going to try to convince you to use it again, but i am interested in what people think will make it better
2021-05-26 19:20:55 konomi single user interface would be nice it was a bit of a pain in windows
2021-05-26 19:20:57 simondanerd Does it have matrix support?
2021-05-26 19:21:06 konomi les functionality in plugins more in the main client
2021-05-26 19:21:12 rw_grim just in case you all weren't aware, there are a TON of third party protocol plugins out there.. even one for matrix written by new vector employees.. https://pidgin.im/plugins/?publisher=all&query=&type=Protocol
2021-05-26 19:21:22 rw_grim @kono
2021-05-26 19:21:25 kusuriya protocol support mostly
2021-05-26 19:21:32 kusuriya the matrix support need a ton of love
2021-05-26 19:21:43 rw_grim * Konomi (She/Her): in what regards? network support or just basic features?
2021-05-26 19:22:03 kusuriya I try it off and on
2021-05-26 19:22:03 rw_grim it's probably the blockages from the api point of view..
2021-05-26 19:22:24 kusuriya its more whole classes of things just are not implemented or are not implemented well
2021-05-26 19:22:35 kusuriya and they are known things if you check out the plugin’s wiki
2021-05-26 19:23:31 rw_grim things not being implemented at all/well like what? i assume the normal, message editing, message responses, custom emoji, read receipts, delivery receipts, etc?
2021-05-26 19:23:48 rw_grim unfortunately none of those are every going to end up in pidgin2 because of the api guaranty bloackages
2021-05-26 19:23:52 kusuriya E2E
2021-05-26 19:24:05 kusuriya the way images are done wasnt great, cross signing
2021-05-26 19:24:06 rw_grim gotcha, yeah the e2ee story is pretty bad there too
2021-05-26 19:24:13 kusuriya device management
2021-05-26 19:24:23 rw_grim what kind of devices?
2021-05-26 19:24:29 kusuriya pidgin doesnt register correctly all the time
2021-05-26 19:24:35 rw_grim like e2ee devices or v&v devices?
2021-05-26 19:24:47 kusuriya v&v iirc
2021-05-26 19:25:10 kusuriya which sometimes causes issues with homeservers
2021-05-26 19:25:34 rw_grim to be clear, when I say v&v i mean voice and video
2021-05-26 19:25:47 kusuriya ah
2021-05-26 19:25:53 kusuriya im talking the general client registration
2021-05-26 19:26:09 kusuriya if you check your device registration it doesnt always show up
2021-05-26 19:26:10 rw_grim with matrix?
2021-05-26 19:26:15 kusuriya yep
2021-05-26 19:26:25 rw_grim ah ok, i haven't spent much time using the matrix plugin honestly
2021-05-26 19:26:39 kusuriya yeah the matrix plugin is very raw
2021-05-26 19:26:54 kusuriya if that could be baked out as well as element I could probably overlook most the UX stuff
2021-05-26 19:28:03 kusuriya better discord support would be nice, and slack, also wouldn’t say no to a weechat relay plugin :D
2021-05-26 19:28:08 rw_grim gotcha.. i've been considering pulling it in tree, but there's many things to do.. something that's going to annoy a lot of people is we will be moving any non openspec/source protocols out of tree, which means pulling matrix in would help round some of that out
2021-05-26 19:28:33 kusuriya yeah for sure
2021-05-26 19:28:37 rw_grim what's a relay plugin? you mean like a bnc?
2021-05-26 19:29:04 kusuriya Weechat has a relay protocol that allows you to remotely control it and use it sorta like BNC/ZNC
2021-05-26 19:29:14 rw_grim oh interesting
2021-05-26 19:29:23 kusuriya but its more like you SSHed into the box and attached to your weechat
2021-05-26 19:29:38 kusuriya glowingbear is a great example of what it can be
2021-05-26 19:29:50 konomi the biggest thing that sent me off of pidgin was lack of oemeo encryption it was and still is I believe the only way to have multi client e2ee on xmpp

2021-05-26 19:29:54 There is a new weechat relay in rust
2021-05-26 19:30:00 konomi otr was all that was available and it was a headache
2021-05-26 19:30:15 kusuriya mica: yep im keeping eyes on that :D
2021-05-26 19:30:33 paperdigits Me too
2021-05-26 19:30:39 rw_grim Konomi (She/Her): yeah otr has always been a bit lacking :-/
2021-05-26 19:30:51 paperdigits I am in encrypted rooms now so I need e2e support in client
2021-05-26 19:31:12 kusuriya in reality I know I should shut up and hack and make matrix on pidgin better
2021-05-26 19:31:19 rw_grim when you say better discord/slack support, what does that entail?
2021-05-26 19:31:23 kusuriya but Im not sure where to start generally
2021-05-26 19:31:28 konomi I'm also not sure why aim is still a selectable protocol
2021-05-26 19:31:31 konomi it's gone
2021-05-26 19:31:39 rw_grim kusuriya: that'd be awesome, but obviously not everyone has the time nor skills to do these things ;)
2021-05-26 19:31:47 kusuriya grim: for me mostly just being able to get into text rooms on servers I hang out in
2021-05-26 19:32:05 rw_grim Konomi (She/Her): there's a 3rd party aim service, but we removed it a few releases ago now.. blame your distro for it still being there
2021-05-26 19:32:09 kusuriya grim: sadly I do have the skills for it just lack motivation and opprotunity
2021-05-26 19:32:35 rw_grim kusuriya: so the slack and discord plugins aren't getting you into those channels now?
2021-05-26 19:32:53 kusuriya I remember something about the discord plugin requireing me to reauth all the time
2021-05-26 19:32:57 kusuriya and I stopped using it
2021-05-26 19:33:17 kusuriya the slack one I didnt realize existed
2021-05-26 19:33:22 rw_grim ah.. i'm on too many discords for it to be useful for me right now
2021-05-26 19:33:43 kusuriya id probably have the same issue
2021-05-26 19:33:48 rw_grim slack doesn't support oauth/sso yet.. but if you're on a slack that has sso.. please help me finish getting it working :)
2021-05-26 19:33:49 kusuriya i have a bunch of servers im part of
2021-05-26 19:34:07 rw_grim i've considered paying for a few user premium slack to get sso support to get it implemented
2021-05-26 19:34:08 kusuriya the slack I can use doesnt sadly
2021-05-26 19:34:23 kusuriya the one I know that has SSO my work is restrictive about clients we can use
2021-05-26 19:34:47 konomi going to be honest here
2021-05-26 19:34:55 konomi the bug tracker from waht I remember was very hositle
2021-05-26 19:34:56 rw_grim well i mean slack is restrictive about the clients that are supposed to be on it too 😂
2021-05-26 19:35:06 kusuriya fair :D
2021-05-26 19:35:06 konomi and that sounds like it;s changed which is great
2021-05-26 19:35:34 kusuriya id honestly go play with it now but I have a few hours before I can use my computer im on my tablet right now
2021-05-26 19:35:34 rw_grim Konomi (She/Her): the software or the people? if it was the people, I'm sorry for that, but we've changed a lot in the past 10 years.. if it was the software, that's been replaced
2021-05-26 19:36:01 konomi it's hard to remember but I hate to say it we used pidgin bug tracker as an example of a project nevcer to report bugs for
2021-05-26 19:36:07 konomi because the experience was that bad
2021-05-26 19:36:25 kusuriya and TIL xmpp does have E2EE outside of plugins but it requires both servers to have the XEP for it
2021-05-26 19:36:36 konomi though I'd still like to thank you pidgin was something that helped me and a lot friends keep in touch for a very long time
2021-05-26 19:36:43 rw_grim Konomi (She/Her): i'd be curious to hear some of those stories if you're up for it. obviously not necessarily in public, but however
2021-05-26 19:36:54 konomi but it was very much a love hate time for me and friends to interact with the project
2021-05-26 19:37:01 kusuriya yeah its getting close to revisit time again
2021-05-26 19:37:02 rw_grim Konomi (She/Her): awesome, glad it was useful for you :)
2021-05-26 19:37:28 kusuriya because im back at where I was in 1998 when I started using things like pidgin because I had a brazillian chat accounts
2021-05-26 19:37:39 rw_grim the 2.x.y release a really just "keeping it running" releases... we're getting closer to having pidgin3 may be usable for end users, but it has a long way to go yet
2021-05-26 19:38:10 rw_grim kusuriya: i have 2 rows of chat app icons on my phone and 5 pinned tabs in my browser + pidgin :-/
2021-05-26 19:38:23 kusuriya some communities I am part of use IRC, some use Slack, some use discord, some use matrix, some use telegram
2021-05-26 19:38:57 rw_grim heh yeah... if ONLY the xmpp dream didn't die :(
2021-05-26 19:39:07 kusuriya yep
2021-05-26 19:41:41 rw_grim i'm still hopeful xmpp can make a resurgence, but we'll see..
2021-05-26 19:42:01 kusuriya I think matrix may have ate XMPPs lunch there
2021-05-26 19:42:15 kusuriya XEPs really were its undoing IMO
2021-05-26 19:42:25 rw_grim i'm hesitant about matrix.. but we'll see what happens
2021-05-26 19:43:17 rw_grim good intentions or not, the entirety of the network being in the hands of one non-profit is a bit unnerving for me.
2021-05-26 19:43:29 kusuriya except it really isnt
2021-05-26 19:44:20 kusuriya now most people choosing to use new vector’s infra for parts of it does pose some concern
2021-05-26 19:44:57 kusuriya but you could stand your own up pretty easy and choose to federate with the larger network still
2021-05-26 19:44:59 rw_grim sure, but even then the main server implementations are also controlled by new vector
2021-05-26 19:45:43 kusuriya that is all popularity though there are non new vector servers but yeah I see the concern
2021-05-26 19:46:16 rw_grim yeah, like i said, hesitant... i didn't say i was against it, i just have concerns :)
2021-05-26 19:46:43 kusuriya but XMPP will probably never see a resurgence unless they find a way to figure out how to manage XEPs in a way that doesnt annoy users
2021-05-26 19:47:07 rw_grim users shouldn't even see xeps... but i get your point
2021-05-26 19:47:14 kusuriya the servers make assumptions that everyone has all the same XEPs installed
2021-05-26 19:47:25 kusuriya which is an instant failure
2021-05-26 19:47:34 rw_grim there's negotiation for that...
2021-05-26 19:47:47 kusuriya users should see the XEPs as features on users though
2021-05-26 19:48:29 kusuriya so if I find you and want to start a video call it tells me I cant because your server doesnt support video calls, or your client doesnt support it
2021-05-26 19:49:08 kusuriya so then I can check your user and get a list of capabilities sorta like what you can do with bluetooth devices
2021-05-26 19:49:38 kusuriya I still run an XMPP server though I mean dont get me wrong
2021-05-26 19:50:00 konomi I don't believe xmpp is coming back, I already don't log into it anymore
2021-05-26 19:50:21 kusuriya It probably could but I dont count on it
2021-05-26 19:50:27 konomi matrix came along and expertly stole that userbase
2021-05-26 19:50:56 konomi the fact that things are extensions that most people would consider vital
2021-05-26 19:50:59 konomi like you know
2021-05-26 19:51:02 konomi push notifications
2021-05-26 19:51:04 konomi encryption
2021-05-26 19:51:12 konomi made xmpp a literal nightmare
2021-05-26 19:52:07 kusuriya really IIRC XMPP wasnt really a chat protocol to start with anyway, it was just an event message bus so most those features wouldnt be needed in that context
2021-05-26 19:52:18 konomi xml also is just trauma for me
2021-05-26 19:52:21 kusuriya it really was a victim of its own scope creep
2021-05-26 19:52:32 konomi burn it salt it and bury it in a pit
2021-05-26 19:53:38 konomi best thing pidgin could get again suggestion, matrix support
2021-05-26 19:53:45 konomi and not half of it all of it
2021-05-26 19:54:14 konomi optional extension GRRR xmpp grrr
2021-05-26 19:55:11 kusuriya if pidgin could give element a run for its money that would probably rekindle it
2021-05-26 19:55:33 rw_grim rekindle what? pidgin? there's more out there than matrix..
2021-05-26 19:55:49 konomi the best thing about pidgin was not beingf electron
2021-05-26 19:55:56 rw_grim anyways, i've got a call, thank you all for you input, but I need to run
2021-05-26 19:56:00 konomi it was so fast
2021-05-26 19:56:08 konomi I presume still is
2021-05-26 19:56:24 rw_grim yep, and we stripped webkit from pidgin3 because just no
2021-05-26 19:56:50 konomi laters thanks again
2021-05-26 19:57:19 kusuriya yep thanks for listening to us gripe

2021-05-27 21:04:10 paperdigits There is nothing wrong with wordpress itself, and the core install is pretty bullet proof.
2021-05-27 21:04:34 paperdigits The problem is that there are thousands of crappy plugins that don't get updated and are full of security holes.

2021-05-27 21:18:13 If you want cheap: Bluehost. If you want something where you can ask for help: SiteGround. Or you can host in on any VPS really, but that's more DiY. Tons of places have 1-click installers now that it is so popular.
2021-05-27 21:19:19 corrinado And mica has a great point. Keep the damned thing updates and the risk is in the plugins. Do your research about what you install. Feel free to ping me if you have any specific questions.

2021-05-28 10:53:18 I may end up switching to that. I wanted to use 443 because it was one less port to open, but if it causes issues again, I'll move it over.
2021-05-28 10:54:51 kusuriya its interesting it causes problems though i wonder if it goes AWOL because it gets unexpected data
2021-05-28 10:55:24 atrili Do you have something else listening on port 443?
2021-05-28 10:56:28 kendall Maybe. It's only happened once, so I'm waiting for something to go wrong.
2021-05-28 10:57:21 kendall Atrili I've got some self hosted sites running on my homelab.
2021-05-28 10:59:03 atrili In general you're only going to be able to use that port for one thing
2021-05-28 11:00:07 kendall The way I've got it setup is with nginx as a reverse proxy, and all the services are running in docker containers.
2021-05-28 11:01:25 kendall But just talking through this, I think your right. Nginx and Synapse may be fighting.
2021-05-28 11:02:26 kendall Meh, I'll just switch it over to 8448, and save another headache.
2021-05-28 11:03:16 atrili Yea, if nginx is listening on 443, then the other process isn't going to be able to do it. A process is going to bind to the port to own it
2021-05-28 11:03:42 atrili You can see that by running "netstat -pan | grep :443" at a command line, that will tell you what process has the port
2021-05-28 11:05:15 kendall This the process I was using from their docs.
2021-05-28 11:05:15 https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/delegate.md
2021-05-28 11:11:19 atrili I mean, it's just the way sockets work. Process binds to socket/port and listens on it. If you already had nginx listening on 443, then synapse can't listen on that port too.
2021-05-28 11:11:41 kendall Then I don't get how it's working.
2021-05-28 11:11:52 kendall Because federation is working as well as my other sites.
2021-05-28 11:12:24 kendall Because you're right, when I try to bind to a port that's already being used, docker throws an error.
2021-05-28 11:12:39 atrili Like I said, run "netstat -pan | grep :443" and see what process has the port
2021-05-28 11:12:40 omenos Conan Kudo: I was partially wrong last night. macOS (if using APFS [encrypted]) will prompt for a passcode on boot, separate from user login. However, if you turn on FileVault, it'll merge the two together, effectively saying which accounts can unlock the base filesystem.
2021-05-28 11:14:17 kendall Nginx has the port
2021-05-28 11:15:50 atrili Yea, so inbound traffic would be going to nginx then. Outbound traffic from synapse to other servers is going to use whatever port the remote server listens on
2021-05-28 11:16:46 kendall Ok
2021-05-28 11:17:15 kendall I switched back to 8448 and no issues so far.
2021-05-28 11:37:43 kusuriya yeah in general if you use their documentation there are some specific things you have to reverse proxy to the synapse server running on 8443
2021-05-28 11:38:10 kusuriya its a bit of a lift but once you got it you can have synapse only listen on localhost and nginx do the lifting off the internet
2021-05-28 11:38:46 kusuriya but if you get the proxy wrong federation faceplants and you may take other nodes out depending on configurations
2021-05-28 13:52:15 whatitdo Are there any RF earbuds you guys would recommend? I'm done with Bluetooth. I can't believe it's been around for 20 ish years and it's still so shitty.

2021-05-28 14:47:22 whatitdo Not really. From what I've read anyway.
2021-05-28 14:53:49 irunbash RF = radio frequency. Both Bluetooth and WiFi are technically a part of it. Most of the time when a peripheral claims to be “RF” without Bluetooth or WiFi they mean some non-standardized protocol.

2021-05-28 15:11:49 BT uses RF spectrum, but it's a specific protocol.
2021-05-28 15:13:04 squirrellydave RF headphones/remotes and similar typically have a paired tx/rx sensors. It can use different spectrum than BT, and the nature of the pairing can make them better, and more able to deal with interference. Can, but doesn't guarantee it.
2021-05-28 15:13:33 paperdigits It was a rhetorical question... Bluetooth is radio frequencies.
2021-05-28 15:13:36 paperdigits ;)
2021-05-28 15:15:04 squirrellydave basically everything is RF though. from AM radio to 5gUW

2021-06-03 00:44:26 masonb You know the shipping the robes internationally problem? I m pretty sure this has been solved already in most countries with services like YouShop in NZ where our Post Office service has an address you can ship to in the US that they will then forward.
2021-06-03 00:44:26 This would allow the international listeners to buy merch and solve much of the complexity of shipping for JB.

2021-06-03 00:55:13 infoseclibsoc Anyone got any ideas on how to secure access to resources published to the web by restricting access to only those who have an account on the systems in question? I think Self-Hosted podcast or 2.5Admins (can’t recall) looked into this but the suggestions seemed to be some form of pre-auth for web logins - but how do these work with native apps, like JellyFin etc?

2021-06-03 08:45:39 infoseclibsoc Ah really? So I have to give WIreGuard access to everyone?
2021-06-03 08:56:43 jivanpal infoseclibsoc You could use something like SSH tunneling instead to restrict it to certain users on the destination machine

2021-06-03 15:38:10 masonb This is interesting. Its the Fedora 34 release party KDE SIG saying they manage the QT stack for RHEL 8. I thought RHEL 8 didn't do KDE....https://youtu.be/1Eed1m4Lwtc?list=PL0x39xti0_65fpkNt0HW7RtCCGsDtGRIT&t=43
2021-06-03 16:05:20 paperdigits So I've been trying to deploy pi-hole in a podman container but no traffic ever hits it. I change the DNS on opnsense, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
2021-06-03 16:29:58 dailyherold Container have host port mapped so it's accessible to things beyond other containers on that host? If needed that is
2021-06-03 16:34:29 paperdigits The ports seem to be mapped OK. Port 80 works since I can hit the web page
2021-06-03 16:37:21 dailyherold Don't know how the arch works, but can you go straight from a client to pihole bypassing opensense?
2021-06-03 16:38:42 atcommander What about port 53 that is default port for DNS requests?
2021-06-03 16:47:55 paperdigits I've bound 53 & 67. 53 is TCP and UDP
2021-06-03 16:48:43 paperdigits I tried to set my laptop to hit it, but it didn't.
2021-06-03 16:49:44 paperdigits I guess I need to start by trying to resolve DNS using dig or something like that, make sure the ports are mapped and are hitting the container, then make sure opnsense is forwarding traffic correctly.

2021-06-03 18:21:23 there are several ways with web browser access, only a couple if you want to use native app access, and it was using a nginx reverse proxy with web auth on 2.5 admins
2021-06-03 18:22:43 &SnarkTest a vpn is the recommended way to enable native apps, but there are other ways that typically involve some kind of system wide proxy
2021-06-03 18:22:56 &SnarkTest or system wide network config
2021-06-03 19:03:42 jasonish Anyone know of a program that is written in C/C++/Rust/Go whatever (compiled, not Python, etc) that can be scripted or load plugins written in JS?
2021-06-03 20:18:18 nst8021 mica: i found that sometime it doesnt start the FTL and outputs errors into the log when run in podman
2021-06-03 20:23:30 paperdigits nst8021: thanks
2021-06-03 20:25:46 nst8021 are you running rootless or root container?

2021-06-03 21:26:38 Uh, polkit kinda does that. It links in mozembed and runs JavaScript snippets as part of its authorization flow. The polkit daemon is written in C, and the JavaScript snippets are just JavaScript, but within a defined function definition (see /etc/polkit-1/rules.d and https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/polkit.8.html#polkit-rules).
2021-06-03 21:29:28 subpop:matrix.org There's also GIMP, which allows scripting it through its weird script-fu interface. I think you can write script-fu in Perl and Python?
2021-06-03 21:32:03 nst8021 @mica when you setup your laptop did you restart the interface after setting dns name servers
2021-06-03 21:49:52 paperdigits nst8021: no. Maybe that's the problem
2021-06-03 21:50:10 paperdigits Script-fu in gimp is scheme I think
2021-06-03 21:50:22 paperdigits There are also python bindings
2021-06-03 22:42:05 nst8021 cool i got mine working
2021-06-04 10:21:34 masonb If anyone ever needs to throw up a quick site then publii is quite a cool static site generator I had never heard of but have just spend a couple of hours playing with.
2021-06-04 11:27:58 paperdigits masonbee: what's cool about it?
2021-06-04 12:36:37 masonb > In reply to @paperdigits:matrix.org
2021-06-04 12:36:37 > masonbee: what's cool about it?
2021-06-04 12:36:37 Didn't crash even when I imported a seven hundred post wordpress site and the output wasn't too bad. Threw the occasional javascript error but that didn't seem to effect its working. Has a flatpak, rpm and debs and an appimage as well I think. Pretty much zero learning curve. Open source, a wysiwyg editor, a markdown editor and a block editor depending on your preference.
2021-06-04 12:36:37 Uploads the site to your server afterwards. Git integration for github and gitlab but I haven't checked that out because I use gitea.
2021-06-04 12:36:37 Backups, custom css and html. Generates thunbnails for responsive pictures.
2021-06-04 12:36:37 On the downside there aren't many themes and it can import tags or categories from wordpress. In my case I chose tags and they aren't attached to the posts now so I have to retag everythign should I so choose.
2021-06-04 12:44:46 paperdigits masonbee: ah a GUI for static sites. That's cool
2021-06-04 12:44:55 paperdigits We use Hugo for everything.
2021-06-04 13:30:39 masonb mica: I was looking at installing hugo last night when I ran into publii. :) Last month it was Bootstrap studio, etc...What is the equivalent of distro hopping with software?
2021-06-04 13:31:42 paperdigits Madness.
2021-06-04 13:31:58 paperdigits Find a tool that meets your needs and go with it.
2021-06-04 13:32:05 paperdigits There are a billion alternatives
2021-06-04 13:32:16 paperdigits And they all do roughly the same thing
2021-06-04 13:36:18 thornbill I like 11ty for a static site generator but I’m a masochist who enjoys JavaScript 🙃
2021-06-04 13:38:53 paperdigits We landed on Hugo because it's a binary
2021-06-04 13:39:43 paperdigits We had other stuff in things like pelican, but since its just a website, the custom plugins went stale and who wants to do a lot maintenance on a static site??
2021-06-04 13:40:02 paperdigits Hugo means getting the binary and running it. That's all.
2021-06-04 13:40:23 paperdigits No language maintenance and the templating doesn't change that often.
2021-06-04 13:41:42 paperdigits One site is using metalsmith, with is JS/node, I hate that site.
2021-06-04 13:41:50 paperdigits Can't even build it anymore
