for people who care about electromagnetic emanations, it's a feature, but most people who install metallised windows only care about energy efficiency so it's a bug

<q3k>
it's fantastic to see IRL.
<zkms>
sorear: they do but if you put low-e windows in a brick structure you're fucked
<q3k>
also apparently it helps you cool down quite a lot but I wasn't brave enough to try it.
<zkms>
it kills the SNR and that drops the MCS which makes the radio operate longer for a given amount of data which kills race-to-idle and that kills your cell phone battery ^_^

zkms: good thing the US doesn't build houses out of real materials
<sorear>
i've recently moved to the part of the US where brick buildings will stay up for longer than 20 years and it's amazing how many of them there are
<zkms>
whitequark: i was in a hotel once with low-e windows and it was some kind of concrete/brick/masonry structure and if i opened the door or window i got like 20megabits/second better download speed on LTE
<whitequark>
lol
<q3k>
the only place i've ever went to that had frustratingly slow LTE was a hotel in warsaw. in the building that hosts poland's largest IXP. that has a ton of LTE BTSen on the roof.
<q3k>
and the hotel wifi was unbearingly slow, too.

q3k: le cordonnier le plus mal chaussé

<q3k>
zkms: never heard that expression :)
<sorear>
i *like* brutalist concrete monoliths
<q3k>
so do i
<awygle>
i get the first two on a fault line but why the hell the glass
<awygle>
i think brutalism can be done well but mostly isn't
<sorear>
because the walls are non-structural and architecture is made of fads
<q3k>
sorear: please make 35c3 plans
<awygle>
but i famously Have No Taste so *shrug*
<awygle>
sorear: gonna be non-structural flying shards of glass when the big one hits
<sorear>
do architects ever do like, market research

or do they do and normies actually like this glass monstrosities :|

honestly I'd rather have a house that was just a giant warehouse with no internal walls except for a bedroom
<whitequark>

<rqou>
except those aren't giant
<rqou>
they're usually really tiny
<q3k>
rqou: that's what i'm looking for in munich
<q3k>
rqou: but it's only really a thing for commercial/industrial settings
<pie_>
inb4 youre not allowed to live in a warehouse because reasons
<q3k>
rqou: and if you want to live in one that's also cleared for housing you gotta pay the hipster loft tax
<q3k>
actually not sure how it's like in germany
<q3k>
i guess if you get an anmeldung you're fine?
<q3k>
i know most industrial/commercial leases i've seene elsewhere explicitely prohibit people from living there
<q3k>
not sure about when you actually own the place
<rqou>
in the us it tends to be prohibited by zoning
<rqou>
although it's not too clear what the penalty is if you own it
<q3k>
i think zoning is not nearly as anal in european countries as it is in the us
<q3k>
at least observing how often you end up with old industrial buildings right next to apartment blocks
<rqou>
there's also the Ghost Ship; that certainly didn't help
<q3k>
yeah :/
<q3k>
well, there's good and bad ways to go about this
<q3k>
if you live by your own volition in a building that's not cleared for fire codes then it's your own stupidity, but you should maybe be allowed to do it?
<q3k>
but if you bring others there then yeah :/
<whitequark>
ghost ship?
<zkms>
zoning and land-use restrictions in US are completely pathologically broken it's pretty fucked
<sorear>
the ghost ship seems to be a fairly clear example of "if you make something illegal, it will be provided by the market in the shoddiest way possible"

in king county apparently if something is legal you can build it but the permit might cost 8k for a 3k shed.

I still might try to build someday though because there are no houses available
<sorear>
supposedly king county is one of the better places for "is it actually possible to get approval to build something", although low bar

Ugh. Why does Cargo _require_ a git repo for the package index?!?!?! It's the only protocol that insists on using POST to _read_ the repo.
<awygle>
that is a bummer. it should support like, mercurial at least
<awygle>
(complains awygle with no plans to do anything about this almost-certainly-fixable problem)
<kc8apf>
or, not use a source control system for serving the index
<awygle>
but source control is Good
<kc8apf>
like every other package manager out there
<pie_>
nixos doesnt serve its "index" over git but it might as well since half the time you end up wanting to edit it and make PRs upstream anyway xD
<pie_>
well ok its not really the index
<pie_>
it derives contnet addressable hashes for everything and if the result of your expression is in the binary cache then you get it

Cargo fetches that repo to figure out what packages exist

right

is capacity a general issue like the congress?

the cccamp is awesome. (and i don't even like camping in general) you should realy bring a space blanket to put on your tent against the sun and earplugs though

space blanked _and_ tons of cyber^Wduct tape
<q3k>
because if you don't affix it to your tent properly, it will a) fly away b) before it does that, wake you up in the middle of the night because of the noise it makes when the wind picks up
