@shibao@misskey.bubbletea.dev just like white blood cells in a blood vessel, the ship is full of liquid normally.

also vids like tic-tac have been debunked, they're fast but not anti-grav fast. they're bird-of-prey in a nose dive fast, 20-odd G's for 100ms.

@shibao@misskey.bubbletea.dev eh. they aren't that much more advanced than us, and we've already acquired everything we can from them. it's not like they have FTL warp drives n shit...

the 'little greys' are semi-organic drones that can't live outside their ship. they're more like white blood cells in a host body than they are an independent & free-willed being.

so, yeah, about that crazy tech? fiber optics. mylar. semiconductor doping. the human genome project. things involving extremely high voltages and rotating magnetic fields that nobody can speak of without being party van'd even in today's times. but that's really about it, and like i said there isn't any cool shit like FTL or anti-gravity. no over-unity powerplants.

the limits of technology are that which we see in nature; in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics.

the lack of grok disinformation bots is fucking NOTABLE right now

a search index that refuses to index your website if:
- it is over 2MB
- it pulls in more than two off-site javascript files

@NeonPurpleStar@outerheaven.club yeah they make power

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com i wish

@unlofl@mstdn.social gun racking noises

@PopeASDF@dobbs.town @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com found 'em, it's the K7QO stuff, but i have two CDs rather than just the one on the site. they came from FISTS at the Dayton Hamvention (back when it was still at Dayton).

@PopeASDF@dobbs.town @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com FISTS has some training materials but for the life of me i can't find them on their site https://www.fists.org/ https://www.fistsna.org/ if i can find the CDs again i'll rip them for everyone

learning aside, FISTS is a good group to get involved with -- they care more about sharing the skills than gatekeeping them :)

awww, ubuntu asks if your sure you want remove your kernel now. how cute!

okey i have successfully upgraded 5 years worth of mark shuttleworth's cruft. the biggest issue i ran in to was not uninstalling amdgpu-dkms first and waiting until i was totally done before reinstalling it. don't make that mistake and you, too, can do asinine shit like this and get away with it!

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com nah, start now. it's such little extra knowledge that you probably already have but don't know how they want it worded

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com upgrade!!

@mori@void.lgbt @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com hell no

finally updated my workstation from some bastardization of a 5 year old ubuntu install + pkgsrc + nixpkgs to a current ubuntu install + pkgsrc + nixpkgs.


somehow it now logs me in to WindowMaker and honestly that's fine. great, even! it's so snappy! also i think vdpau offloading has vanished, i feel like i'm typing through mud in librewolf.

one slight problem tho. the windowing hints librewolf uses are apparently too weird for WM, so tittle bar actions like moving the window around don't work. alt modifier + mouse still works which is my usual way to move/resize shit anyway.

https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00792R000300330001-8.pdf brooo why didn't anyone tell me this was released!!

@penny@eldritch.cafe i feel like it would've done better in 2020 yeah

anyway this one module wants llvm14 and that's in a 3rd party repo which gets disabled when using do-release-upgrade so now apt is pissy that dkms fails on every kernel.

so we go to remove the module from dkms and the fucker still tries to build it ... is there a cache i forgot about? maybe a package is inserting itself and not showing up in dkms status?

shakes fist
dkms!! 💢
