@hypha @SRAZKVT @q66 anything with a shebang line, which tcc ignores (to allow for scripting using tcc) but gcc does not

@eloy is there an Øl Telecom cake?

my wife just reminded me of a very funny story. I ordered a bench PSU from one of the big electronics suppliers and when the box arrived only the power cable was in there, no bench PSU. so I called them up, the warehouse guy was able to confirm the shipping weight was way off, and we ended up chatting about funny shipping errors. one of their newbies had once gone to a shelf, it was empty, so assumed the shelf itself was the item and shipped it out. but that wasn't the funniest one.

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@ptrc @navi can you move to an empty one?

@kemona_halftau ogg opus

@kemona_halftau There’s Numen. I don’t think it supports a pointing device though, just typing.

@niko I don't know when it was added but it's in Settings -> Privacy in Conversations 2.19.15+free at least

@april yes

@niko if I install a bad update I can just boot an older generation

@niko Conversations has an option to turn off read receipts

@niko they probably just don't bother testing it

@seabass Unfortunately train tickets to Manchester aren't cheap unless you book far in advance which is why I'm not at OggCamp. Do you know when and where the next one will be?

@seabass TIL that Manchester has trams

@whitequark what software is this? (that is displaying this table)

@baer @ChaosKitsune oops…

i think i should be allowed to have estrogen without a prescription. they should sell it like ibuprofen

@baloo @whitequark @be0ba on my board all serial ports go through the BMC and are set up by u-boot

@whitequark @elly @david_chisnall In my case it's because it was a motherboard supported by coreboot being sold surprisingly cheaply (considering current RAM prices) with 32GB RAM and I thought I could make it less bad by replacing the BMC firmware with something like OpenBMC.

I did already manage to improve boot times quite a bit by replacing SPS with a deguard-configured ME image (SPS does not implement CPU replacement detection which means it needs to rerun raminit on every boot), and I want to replace the BMC firmware too but unfortunately I am currently being prevented from doing so by some proprietary GPL-violating kernel modules (Supermicro completely refused to release any sources when I asked them, and even for the boards where they did release partial sources the source code for those kernel modules is missing, despite the fact that they use GPL-only symbols and declare their license to be GPL)
