[02:03] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[07:19] <ducasse> good morning
[07:40] <marcoagpinto> Hello!
[07:40] <marcoagpinto> >:)
[07:41] <marcoagpinto> guys?! What about accepting apps certificates with ECC :)
[07:41] <marcoagpinto> I was going to suggest the same to Microsoft
[07:41] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:11] <EoflaOE> Hello marcoagpinto
[08:11] <marcoagpinto> EoflaOE!
[08:11] <marcoagpinto> my dear beloved brother!
[08:11] <marcoagpinto> >:)
[08:12] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: How are you doing?
[08:12] <marcoagpinto> I am doing fine, thanks, and you?
[08:12] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:12] <EoflaOE> I am doing fine too
[08:14] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: How was your project?
[08:15] <marcoagpinto> EoflaOE: the PhD project?
[08:15] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:16] <marcoagpinto> or which other?
[08:17] <marcoagpinto> last week I implemented some new stuff into the PhD project, but it is risky to make changes without major testing
[08:17] <marcoagpinto> the software is slow as hell as it has tons of calculations and if I screw up it is bad
[08:18] <marcoagpinto> imagine I am at the exam using this new version and that it crashes )
[08:18] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:19] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: OK. Test well. I am thinking about the new version of KS.
[08:20] <marcoagpinto> cool
[08:20] <EoflaOE> Thnaks
[08:20] <EoflaOE> Thanks*
[08:21] <marcoagpinto> EoflaOE: I can't test it well, because it is slow as hell and takes all RAM in this old laptop :) . The Professor was the one testing it because he invented the Information Metric and was testing his theory with the software
[08:22] <marcoagpinto> my main simulation for the PhD takes 20-30 minutes to finish in this machine
[08:22] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:22] <marcoagpinto> I can't wait 30 minutes to test every change I make
[08:22] <marcoagpinto> it is too long
[08:23] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: OK. In my project, running it with debug mode on takes 20-40MB of RAM. Recently I have made a networked debugger, and would like to have chat in it.
[08:24] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:24] <marcoagpinto> I too have a debugger in my software
[08:24] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:24] <marcoagpinto> it is useful
[08:24] <EoflaOE> Networked? Or locally to a file?
[08:25] <marcoagpinto> in a window
[08:25] <marcoagpinto> it shows information in a window
[08:25] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:25] <EoflaOE> Nice.
[08:27] <marcoagpinto> I have a toolbar with tons of buttons (16x16 pixels), if I win the EuroMillions tonight I will pay to the guy who made the graphics to develop SVG images with a minimun 24x24
[08:27] <marcoagpinto> He designed all the buttons for free, so I can't ask him to do more for free
[08:28] <EoflaOE> Nice.
[08:28] <marcoagpinto> but 24x24 won't fit in my screen :) . I will need a 1920x1080p display
[08:29] <EoflaOE> And your current screen resolution is?
[08:29] <marcoagpinto> 1366x768
[08:29] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:29] <marcoagpinto> a laptop
[08:29] <marcoagpinto> even with 1366 an option is partly cut as it doesn't fit
[08:30] <EoflaOE> OK. I have 1400x900 in my old PC and 1600x900 in my new PC.
[08:30] <EoflaOE> 1440*
[08:30] <marcoagpinto> I have also a few windows that don't fit 100% with 768 :)
[08:31] <marcoagpinto> I need 1920x1080 for everything to fit
[08:32] <marcoagpinto> if I changed all gadgets to GTK3 size, nothing would fit on the screen :)
[08:34] <EoflaOE> Ok.
[08:40] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: My project, KS, has to be run through the console because it has no GUI. It's a kernel simulator and should be in a console.
[08:40] <marcoagpinto> ahhh
[08:40] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:41] <marcoagpinto> back in the 1990s I too created a tool that worked in a console
[08:41] <marcoagpinto> :)
[08:41] <marcoagpinto> but now it has a GUI
[08:42] <EoflaOE> Nice.
[08:49] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: For now, goodbye. I will return after sometime.
[08:50] <marcoagpinto> oki
[08:50] <marcoagpinto> take care
[10:36] <EoflaOE> Hello everyone
[11:29] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:38] <marcoagpinto> BluesKaj! Hello!
[11:38] <marcoagpinto> >:) <- demon drinking his cola
[11:39] <BluesKaj> hi marcoagpinto
[11:41] <lordievader> 👋
[12:35] <marcoagpinto> guys?!
[12:36] <marcoagpinto> I have just tried my Proofing Tool GUI app with PureBasic 5.71 on Ubuntu 18.04, and I still get a black emoji and no "&" using "&&" in a pop-up menu
[12:36] <marcoagpinto> :)
[12:36] <marcoagpinto> can someone with programming knowledge try this to see if it is a PureBasic issue or Ubuntu's?
[12:39] <marcoagpinto> (I tried both with GTK3 and GTK2)
[13:08] <EoflaOE> Hello marcoagpinto
[13:08] <marcoagpinto> Hello
[13:08] <marcoagpinto> :)
[13:09] <EoflaOE> How are you doing?
[13:09] <marcoagpinto> I am okay I guess
[13:09] <marcoagpinto> :)
[13:09] <marcoagpinto> and you?
[13:09] <marcoagpinto> :p
[13:09] <EoflaOE> I am doing fine. I made a new post in my blog
[13:09] <marcoagpinto> ahhhh
[13:09] <marcoagpinto> what is the URL?
[13:10] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: I will get it
[13:11] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: https://eofla.wordpress.com/2019/09/03/good-news-and-bad-news/
[13:11] <marcoagpinto> ahhh
[13:11] <marcoagpinto> let me check it
[13:15] <marcoagpinto> ahhhh :))))
[13:15] <marcoagpinto> I too receive scam e-mails
[13:15] <marcoagpinto> :p
[13:16] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: That should stop. Correct?
[13:16] <marcoagpinto> a year or two ago I had an e-mail from LinkedIn that looked real... but its linked pointed to a .ru URL
[13:16] <marcoagpinto> :)
[13:16] <marcoagpinto> yes
[13:16] <marcoagpinto> damn criminals
[13:17] <marcoagpinto> weeks ago I had some foreigners customers at the supermarket... when I got home I had a friend request on Facebook from them, so I accepted, and they tried to sell me something
[13:17] <EoflaOE> Some may even use unicode characters in hostnames, if possible.
[13:17] <marcoagpinto> a scam
[13:18] <marcoagpinto> and why is it that the referring sites that access Proofing Tool GUI's page are usually from Russia or porno sites?
[13:18] <marcoagpinto> it is very strange
[13:18] <marcoagpinto> I see the statistics now and then
[13:21] <EoflaOE> Yes. I don't like scam sites too.
[13:22] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: I once saw a technique used by some scammers that involves unicode characters that looks like regular characters. I don't recall the name
[13:22] <marcoagpinto> ohhhhhhh
[13:23] <marcoagpinto> around 1999 there was an e-mail in my internship that had a virus... the link was something like dysneyland.com
[13:23] <marcoagpinto> :)
[13:23] <marcoagpinto> I can't remember
[13:24] <marcoagpinto> so, it was an executable attachment claiming to pass as a site URL
[13:24] <marcoagpinto> it was possible in the 1990
[13:24] <marcoagpinto> it was possible in the 1990s
[13:24] <EoflaOE> And was it malicious? And does it contain viruses?
[13:24] <marcoagpinto> of course it was a virus
[13:25] <marcoagpinto> back then the mail software wasn't as good as today
[13:25] <marcoagpinto> :)
[13:25] <EoflaOE> OK. I did not get a virus mail, but got one scam mail.
[13:25] <marcoagpinto> one?
[13:25] <marcoagpinto> I would get 50+ scams per day in the old e-mail?
[13:25] <marcoagpinto> :)
[13:25] <marcoagpinto> because my address was all over the Internet
[13:26] <marcoagpinto> in the sapo.pt one I recieve spam too but the server filters most of it
[13:26] <EoflaOE> I have one in my primary hotmail, but got no scam mails in the other. My gmail sometimes gets spam mails, one claiming to be Arabian but are really cybercriminals.
[13:30] <marcoagpinto> Buaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... I want to win the EuroMillions tonight and retire!!!! :(((((((
[13:30] <marcoagpinto> I am tired of the silly life on earth
[13:30] <marcoagpinto> I wanted to dedicate all my time to open-source
[13:32] <EoflaOE> marcoagpinto: OK.
[22:47] <lakitu> {05:23:59 pm:} <lakitu> here's a question maybe more explored by women, at least (stereo)typically: on my android tablet, i have several photo editors which do pretty well for touch ups... a lot is automated & its easy & works surprisingly well. does linux have anything like this - the 'new gen' of especially-personal-shot photo editors? {05:38:46 pm:} <lakitu> i'm kind of discussing this in another room, & i'll say it here:
[22:47] <lakitu> there's new gen of photo editors, e.g on android, that let you touch up your face, rather than just do a fish lens or red hue
[22:47] <lakitu> {05:39:18 pm:} <lakitu> i'd love to find one for linux, or if there isn't, then free idea to make some/one {05:42:00 pm:} <lakitu> linux face touch-up apps would help bring the female element to linux too, one might think
[22:49] <lakitu> {05:42:47 pm:} <lakitu> as well as younger generations, who like to play with, trade their photos {05:42:51 pm:} <lakitu> quite a bit {05:43:21 pm:} <lakitu> etc
[22:50] <lakitu> last paste: {05:34:25 pm:} <lakitu> like this one, FaceTune, has a 'detail' brush that simply just brings out detail in e.g your eyes. you just rub over your eyes & it makes them a lot more detailed / better looking. there are other things too {05:34:42 pm:} <lakitu> i'm sure there's plenty of other programs too
[22:52] <sarnold> heh, my first thought was gimp plugins, but I wonder how easy it is to find those .. https://www.gimp.org/registry/ doesn't look real happy
[22:53] <sarnold> this page suggests that there might a package gimp-plugin-registry that can be used to install plugins: https://beebom.com/best-gimp-plugins/
[22:53] <lakitu> no - from my experience with gimp - it's not that it 'couldn't - but at least that it does not have things like e.g FaceTune
[22:53] <lakitu> 'couldn't'*
[22:53] <sarnold> but maybe 5% of the plugins listed on that page look *vaguely* like what you mentioned
[22:54] <lakitu> right - kind of sketched my experience/impression with GIMP
[22:54] <sarnold> and I'm going to guess nothing as polished as the android ones you mentioned
[22:54] <lakitu> the thing is i love Linux, & want to see it succeed
[22:54] <lakitu> i think this would be good for many, including the two demographics i mentioned
[22:54] <lakitu> they're effortless sarnold. they really are
[22:54] <lakitu> just drag a brush & it looks a lot better
[22:55] <lakitu> e.g the detail brush in FaceTune
[22:55] <lakitu> (again, just bringing out details)
[22:56] <lakitu> gimp plugins may be the best way to go
[22:56] <lakitu> i can't say i've exhausted the World Wide Web for especially-face-tailored photo editing plugins, but i have not found anything beyond 'red eye reductino' - which is ancient - in GIMP
[22:58] <lakitu> red-eye reduction.*
[22:59] <Bashing-om> !info nvidia-driver-430 bionic
[22:59] <sarnold> what blows my mind is that some of those things can do video filtering; I'm not sure if they're *realtime* or not, but I had the impresson they were. they're crazy.
[22:59] <lakitu> cool
[22:59] <lakitu> the GIMP plugins you mean?
[22:59] <lakitu> i was gonna say, i remember some '90s Windows freeware having red-eye reduction, even
[23:00] <Bashing-om> Bot is telling an untruth - " sysop@x1804mini:~$ apt list nvidia-driver-430 >>
[23:01] <Bashing-om> nvidia-driver-430/bionic-updates 430.26-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 amd64"
[23:01] <lakitu> this is not a blanket cricitism of Linux of photo editing software, but there genuinely is a new generation of photo editors e.g in iOS & Android
[23:01] <sarnold> lakitu: it might have been tiktok's integrated filtering thing..
[23:01] <lakitu> i see
[23:04] <lakitu> (photo-editing software*)
[23:12] <lakitu> well anyway
[23:12] <lakitu> i'll peruse those GIMP plugins - maybe there's something
[23:14] <lakitu> or just use my tablet for now
