01:31:44<TheTechRobo>Well, I mean, it's a fair idea. Just not at all practical.
01:31:55<TheTechRobo>OrIdow6: What was the smart TVs idea?
01:33:06<@JAA>'You guys should go buy every Smart TV ever and figure out where they fetch their ads from so they can be archived', basically.
01:35:20<TheTechRobo>Again, it's a good thing to archive (shows consumer culture, etc). Very impractical, though.
01:36:35<@JAA>Yeah, it was very much 'here's an idea for a project that would take ridiculous amounts of time and money, oh and also I'm not going to do anything towards that goal'.
01:37:38<TheTechRobo>My family actually has a smart TV (two, actually; a Roku and a Roku TV) so it might be interesting to figure out how the billboard thingy on the side of the homescreen is gotten so I can save it
01:37:58<TheTechRobo>Only problem is, it's a smart TV. Not sure how I'd MITM that if it uses SSL...

01:38:24DogsRNice (Webuser299) joins
01:50:31<pabs>TheTechRobo: many such TVs run Linux (some even run systemd)
01:51:15<pabs>so presumably you could mod the OS somehow
01:51:18<TheTechRobo>pabs: That would make sense, but I'm no good at finding security problems, etc. In this case I'd need to somehow find the SSL certificate store and change it.
01:51:33<TheTechRobo>I'm pretty sure there's signing employed in a Roku, too, so you can't tamper with it like I want to
01:51:44<pabs>yeah, probably :(
01:51:53<@JAA>And get into the OS at all first. Not all of these let you simply get a terminal.
01:52:43pabs wonders if any of them are violating the GPL like Vizio is https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html
01:53:52<@JAA>I'd be surprised if not.
01:54:59<@JAA>But that's kind of unrelated. Even if they provide source code, that doesn't mean there's an (easy) way into the system to mess with certificates etc.
01:57:21<pabs>it kind of is; you can't be GPL compliant if users can't modify, build, reinstall and run the modified GPLed code
01:58:11<pabs>but they probably do the ad stuff in proprietary parts, which can stop working when the GPL stuff is modified, and the GPL doesn't stop that
01:59:16<@JAA>Well, depends on the GPL version. That is part of the reason why Linus doesn't like GPLv3.
01:59:42<TheTechRobo>JAA: Wait, I thought GPLv3 was _beneficial_ because it prevents tivolisation?
01:59:57<@JAA>Depends on which side you're on. Linus is fine with that usage.
02:00:10<TheTechRobo>Why doesn't he like GPLv3, then?
02:00:10<@JAA>(At least as far as I remember from some Q&A session I watched a long time ago.)
02:00:42<pabs>the same applies for both GPLv2 and GPLv3
02:00:55<@JAA>Because he's in favour of allowing tivoisation.
02:00:57<pabs>what Tivo did is still allowed by GPLv3
02:01:17<pabs>(break their proprietary bits when the GPL bits were modified)
02:02:22<@JAA>Yeah right, it was reduced or removed entirely in later drafts but before the finalisation of v3.
02:02:33<pabs>some backgrounders: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/mar/25/install-gplv2/ https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/jul/23/tivoization-and-the-gpl-right-to-install/ https://events19.linuxfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Safely-Copylefted-Cars-Reexamining-GPLv3-Installation-Information-Requirements-ALS-Bradley-Kuhn-Behan-Webster-1.pdf
02:02:47<TheTechRobo><pabs> (break their proprietary bits when the GPL bits were modified)
02:02:49<TheTechRobo>Wow, that's fucked up.
02:02:56<pabs>(the last link covers GPLv3 allowing what Tivo did)
02:03:27<pabs>of course these days there are much worse things; Android vendors blocking updates of Linux entirely
02:03:47<TheTechRobo>People ask me why I'm cynical
02:04:19<pabs>and the Android vendors also do what Tivo did, they require a device wipe before you can unlock the bootloader and install Linux. so you have no access to their proprietary binaries
02:05:57<@JAA>If they even let you unlock the bootloader without personally bringing the device to their HQ or something.
02:06:13<@JAA>Anyway, we're well into -ot material here by now. :-)
02:06:17<pabs>often they have an online thing that gives out codes that you can enter to allow it
02:06:21<pabs>yeah definitely

03:28:15<@JAA>Uh, are you trying to connect to Nintendo's servers? Those have been offline for years now.
03:28:56<CompArison>im just following this tutorial on the wiki http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Accessing_Wii_Shop_Channel_from_PC
03:29:27<@JAA>That's a description of how the content could be accessed before the shutdown.
03:29:32<CompArison>bruh
03:30:06<@JAA>Basically technical information on how the service worked at the time to get the archival process started.
03:30:18<@JAA>https://archive.org/details/WiiShopChannelBackup seems to be where the primary archive of it is located.
03:30:20<CompArison>the wiki doesn't say anything about the fact that it doesn't work anymore
03:30:28<CompArison>yeah im currently downloading that
03:30:31<@JAA>'Status: Offline'
03:30:32<@JAA>:-)
03:30:48<CompArison>=L
03:30:51<@JAA>But yeah, that section could use some rewording.
03:31:09<CompArison>well is there any way to get the html file
03:31:13<CompArison>is that in the backup
03:32:43<Jake>Are you looking for something specific?
03:33:56<CompArison>basically im trying to recreate the wii shop channel in html but since i found out that the channel uses html i figured i might as well use that
