12:39 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
10:02 PM Tom_L: that twitter thing want's me to join the parade
10:03 PM rue_mohr: you should be able to see it without subscribing?...
10:03 PM rue_mohr: it tries to pull everyone to the dark side
10:05 PM Tom_L: just built a 6.4 kernel for debian 12
10:05 PM Tom_L: default is 6.1 which is better than any 5.xx release
10:06 PM rue_mohr: why is it better?
10:30 PM rue_mohr: hey wait, you mean it will not show you the tweet if you dont have a twitter account!?
10:34 PM rue_mohr: ****
10:40 PM Tom_L: supposed to have better latency
10:40 PM Tom_L: 4.xx was ok, 5.xx was bad but 6.xx is better
10:47 PM rue_mohr: ah
10:48 PM Tom_L: for realtime
10:48 PM rue_mohr: its not just a change of the default scheduler?
10:48 PM Tom_L: preempt-rt
10:48 PM rue_mohr: mhm
10:48 PM rue_mohr: so, there is no point in me using twitter if they are only going to let people with an account see tweets
10:49 PM Tom_L: yeah i still can't view that one
10:52 PM rue_mohr: no, they (just) made tiwtter an exclusive group
10:52 PM rue_mohr: someone commented this morning in a way I didn't understand

11:17 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/kernel_test/6.4_kernel.png
11:17 PM Tom_L: almost the same
11:17 PM rue_mohr: reddit is messed up too
11:18 PM rue_mohr: wow, its chaos out there
11:18 PM Tom_L: the whole world is messed up
11:18 PM Tom_L: alot have gone to matrix and discord
11:18 PM Tom_L: they are joined on irc in linuxcnc
11:19 PM rue_mohr: so, re kernel latency, this is why I endorse dedicated hardware for realtime stuff and leaving anything with an OS for general managment
11:19 PM Tom_L: that's kinda what the mesa cards do
11:19 PM rue_mohr: matrix...
11:19 PM rue_mohr: so then the kernel latency shouldn't matter
11:19 PM Tom_L: the 6.xx kernel is better for ethernet latency
11:19 PM Tom_L: instead of rt
11:19 PM Tom_L: or in addition to
11:20 PM rue_mohr: if latency is still an issue, its still too much on the machine with an OS
11:20 PM Tom_L: sudo chrt 99 ping -i .001 -q [card_ip_address]
11:20 PM rue_mohr: this is why I like grbl
11:20 PM Tom_L: i've never had an issue with it
11:21 PM Tom_L: and grbl is too limited
11:24 PM Tom_L: for simple things i'm sure it's ok
11:24 PM rue_mohr: aandrew, polprog what do you think?
11:25 PM rue_mohr: if twitter wont allow non-accounts to see content, is using it even worth anything?
11:27 PM Tom_L: you can post pics etc as part of the content on matrix
11:28 PM Tom_L: https://element.io/
11:29 PM Tom_L: there used to be a standalone app for it
11:30 PM rue_mohr: its not a social billboard tho it looks like
11:30 PM rue_mohr: I'd be better off with a blog on my website
11:31 PM rue_mohr: hey, I got some great cable from the hospital
11:31 PM rue_mohr: maybe 20 awg, tinned
11:31 PM rue_mohr: about 20 conductor
11:32 PM Tom_L: one time i got a trunk line enough to run from the house to the garage
11:32 PM rue_mohr: :]
11:32 PM rue_mohr: I have a 200 pair grease filled chunk under the house, a roll about 100'
11:33 PM rue_mohr: - grease filled -
11:33 PM rue_mohr: otherwise nice wire...
11:34 PM rue_mohr: elon says the login requirement is temporary
11:37 PM rue_mohr: huh
11:37 PM rue_mohr: says its a problem because of AI companies scraping twitter for data
11:38 PM Tom_L: of course. if it's out there it's fair game
11:39 PM rue_mohr: a human-check wouldn't be foul play, we kinda expect it
