lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-12-04#1954217 << the line_ids are monotonic yes, but not related to date (it is just a line count). As for the date, I took your http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-12-04#1954217 to mean that exactly
dorion_road: mircea_popescu et al, nice. it's certainly exciting to be zeroing in on the most contundent impediment to sane computing. I'm looking forward to what spyked has to say.
bvt: re efi, i only had a one machine with it, used in-kernel efi stub and efibootmgr (configuration tool, not loader), did not use grub there
bvt: dorion_road: thursday is the new deadline; the reason for the bug was nothing cool; it was a hole in my vpatch generation process for kernel which i will have to review and change.
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-02#1954075 << Not sure how it is otherwise, but I've installed a custom BIOS on the x200 thinkpads, which was done by overwritting the vendor's on a ROM specifically for BIOS. On that board, the ROM is easily accessible under the trackpad.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-29 03:43:59 spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-27#1953704 <-- not sure what'd be the best fit, tbh. I'm an odd one, spent years studying the theory re os and systems in general. but as far as actual work goes, other than my public work, I've been doing mostly maintenance (bugfixing, a bit of feature development) for linux kernels driving custom hardware/schedulers/netwo
BingoBoingo: There's few Colombianas in Uruguay that I've met, but despite the small sample size... they are a breed apart from the rest of the continent.
BingoBoingo: Peaking at the rents, it is looking like a great spot to land if I can get them to buy.
BingoBoingo: I've not seen consecutive days of emptying before this week.
mircea_popescu: it is CERTAINLY apt. i myself never heard it before ; and of course the ever-useful internet only has https://ro.porn4you.xxx/video/baba-se-freaca-la-pizda-in-timp-ce-nepoata-se-fute-cu-mosu-1280.html inept nonsense to offer
diana_coman: I guess so.
mircea_popescu: south east more likely fuse i guess, the short fu is more nw.
diana_coman: but I found it increasingly apt to describe those, as I grew up, indeed.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: you know, I always ever heard it spoken only (strabunica apriga dixit, ofc.) so ...always wondered really.
mircea_popescu: i never heard that one before. is it fuse, past participle to be ? or is it fu & se separately as location ?
mircea_popescu: i've met plenty of 20yo nominally male old women. haven't you ?
BingoBoingo: The problem probably predates writing. "Farm so I can get fat", "Fuck you we're moving along and following the mammoths, I'm not going to live off of your damned dry seed paste"
BingoBoingo: I dunno that cheap printing had any positive impact that balances out filling old woman skulls all with the same uniform stupidities.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: makes sense; atm though there's still a lot of "posts" all over mp-wp and it's annoying because it makes me trip over and go "post" when I mean article, myeah; a lot of cleaning left to do on that but irc billymg was on it so I shall refrain currently from further trespassing :P
diana_coman: yeah, would give some idea as to what it is; given I took out any check on email field now anyway, I'd really want a screenshot if it happens again! lolz
hanbot: what can you do. if i ever see it again i'll take a screenshot or somethin'.
hanbot: plenty moar than 6. i suppose it's possible i failed to get an @ in there...but i don't think so. ofc i don't have much of a way to go back and review.
hanbot: i wonder wtf tho'. i remember popping that message when i was trying to adjust the spam filter on the themes to work correctly, but that's been fixed a -while-. maybe it thought my email addy's offensive somehow lol.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-02 19:14:44 hanbot: diana_coman i'm getting that fun ol' "please fill the required fields (name, email)" error on attempting to comment on your latest. did something change since lastcomment?
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-02#1954082 - no changes really; on looking at it, that error was thrown on too-short/missing email/name so possibly that's what happened? At any rate, since I don't care about email really, I took the check on email out so please try again and let me know if it's still missbehaving (my testing comments all went through fine, from different machines & IPs).
jfw: mod6: I meanwhile found http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2016-09-29#1550366
mod6: I had some stuff I was testing and working on, but it did not include a 'cleaving-off' of the wallet.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-11-29 03:55:19 jfw: mod6, trinque or other TRB scholars: has there been progress toward raw transaction RPCs since http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/2018-April/000297.html ? I've written a getrawtransaction (in my queue to publish) but am in need of a sendrawtransaction for a split wallet I'm working on ( http://fixpoint.welshcomputing.com/2019/gales-bitcoin-wallet-spec-and-battle-plan/ )
jfw: I was remembering this phrase but not where from; turns out my own link, hah. Which pretty sure I found via the logs.
mircea_popescu: i don't really know anyone who both a) is technically literate and b) thinks post 2015 intel chips are actually worth money, as it happens. a situation eerily reminiscent of every other socialism's progress, late sovok folk similarily didn't think late sovok artefacts worth deploying.
hanbot: diana_coman i'm getting that fun ol' "please fill the required fields (name, email)" error on attempting to comment on your latest. did something change since lastcomment?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i'd rather this didn't end up with a tmsr motherboard.
jfw: But what do you put in its place? Reversing boards was tough enough as I gather even before the standard fritz chips
dorion_road: I can see it, I think I read about lilo in the logs, then have stuck with since following the gentoo handbook a few years back, apart from one public toilet efi laptop where I went with grub.
dorion_road: mircea_popescu grub may be required if EFI systems are supported. I don't know if lilo is worth saving or if grub for everything is the better choice.
dorion_road: I am working on a work plan for myself for the next week(s). I will publish as an article this week when ready.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-29 14:49:29 mircea_popescu: dorion, it'd prolly be a good idea to take your own trackbacks out of the (independently --VERY SHORT) recent comments toolbar. i can't tell what's going on
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-29#1953863 << thanks, I applied diana_coman's fix.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-01 16:57:17 bvt: dorion_road: i have discovered some WTF??? sort of bug in the kernel that manifests only outside of the VM. i will continue debugging it tomorrow, but this means that the writeup will appear only after it is fixed; sorry for this delay.
dorion_road: diana_coman, mircea_popescu I replied to your comments on my tmsr-os article. Apologies for the latency, atypical meat space festivities took more of my weekend than normal.
dorion_road: I don't yet know exactly how they're to be beat, that's for the owner to investigate, report back on the cost/benefits of various decisions and publish his vpatches.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-29 03:51:10 spyked: dorion_road: so I'm sort of a "master of none", I guess. but in general, I'm interested in doing any infrastructure work required to get a tmsr-os up, I think I can handle it, with probably some ramp-up time to learn the code. imho needs figuring out what's really needed tho, e.g. from your list, what work is required for bootloaders/biosen and wh

dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-29#1953812 << thanks for the background spyked. I agree we're at the phase of figuring out what is really needed.
BingoBoingo: It is a small sadness that it looks like I'll be leaving Uruguay just as it starts to get interesting, but... the local vandals don't seem to have discovered how to make "ninja rocks" outta ceramic insulators.
BingoBoingo: Last I looked into it they brought at a minimum an additional ~GB of RAM consumption and ~2-50% of CPU utilization as a "Don't copy this floppy" deterrent that forces everyone to download the version with that shit cut out.
mircea_popescu: ima try putting the first few in and we see (i hope for eg you do the sed 's%"%\\"%g' | sed 's%*%\&ast;%g' escapings, yes ?)
mircea_popescu: seems maybe for the sake of simplicity i could just process the source logs ; but then i'll end up with a broken bot when deployed huh.
mircea_popescu: then i was going to say something like : lobbes, can you get me the result of <? ?> and give out php code to dump directly, but I notice things such as "<br><table>" as article headings, instead of the correct <table style="font-size:1em;width:580px;">" and so i assume the middle <td> doesn't carry the required class="breakup" either.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the format favoured for this job is the one-article-per-insert thing so i can publish them at short intervals like before
BingoBoingo to resume crawling tomorrow. Today I've got to reply to the folks who replied to my weekend solicitations this morning.
billymg: i've been following along as much as possible, still keeping the same timeline for the actual transition
bvt: dorion_road: i have discovered some WTF??? sort of bug in the kernel that manifests only outside of the VM. i will continue debugging it tomorrow, but this means that the writeup will appear only after it is fixed; sorry for this delay.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-01 06:02:16 spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-30#1953918 <-- fwiw, write-ups usually take me at least an hour. testing's the easy part, except when I encounter weird stuff, which adds another 1-2 hrs on top of those 10 minutes it should take.
diana_coman: come to think of it, it makes perhaps more sense to note that the 30 minutes worth of changes should in fact be correctly expressed as at least an hour worth of write-up; basically I had too little write-up to justify a vpatch!
diana_coman: uhm, so possibly it's just that I'm the weird one around here for which the tech part takes longer than the writing, ha!
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-30#1953918 <-- fwiw, write-ups usually take me at least an hour. testing's the easy part, except when I encounter weird stuff, which adds another 1-2 hrs on top of those 10 minutes it should take.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-30#1953982 <-- will also look into that and I'll post a fix. I'm having the markdown plugin generate footnotes instead of ye olde footnotes plugin.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-30#1953986 <-- approved, I'll be away today, so will answer tomorrow. otoh, 2014 /me had much less of an idea about politix in software than nao (didn't even start reading the logz back then). e.g. my lunix conference run fails to cover the broken parts I saw there and couldn't properly verbalize at the time
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't yet speak Korean. Some cases take more digging than others, but places to shove my solicitation are being found.
mircea_popescu: i have trackbacks in trilema rss
diana_coman: and more to the point: trackbacks *are* conversation namely via articles so I'd rather see also trackbacks to other blogs that I follow, hm.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-01 22:46:01 mircea_popescu: anyways -- i dun think a blog should list pingbacks either in the comment rss or in the "new comments" navbar.
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-01#1949228 - since this came up in #o recently - I can see the point of taking trackbacks out of the comments rss too but at the same time I *want* to know of new trackbacks to my blog - how would that happen exactly?
diana_coman: because they are sufferable only in small doses really and even then I'm not sure it's not just ..for contrast.
diana_coman: maybe it's just that I remembered why I had taken a break from computers, can be.
diana_coman: lolz, I did not mention it referred to my answer to your question aka http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-30#1953930
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-30 14:16:26 diana_coman: no, it's not about the loc and I specifically did not mention loc.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile from the neener department : http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-30#1953933 <-> http://ossasepia.com/2019/11/29/comments-filtering-for-mp-wp/?b=And&e=I#select
diana_coman: this sort of shit is what I spent those 10 minutes on.
diana_coman: what can I tell you.
diana_coman: it's mpwp that does same thing in two different ways; all I do is to conform to its different ways; and no; in db the comment_type is (as I checked) with 3 distinct values: empty string, "trackback" or "pingback"
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: that's in mpwp, what can I do if it does same thing in 2 different ways?
diana_coman: well, the way this goes then is simply this - I should have passed the vpatch making on to a more junior person then; because ok, familiarity -> figure the shit out but the fixed cost of vpatch packaging is what it is
mircea_popescu: i guarantee you it'd have taken anyone else > 30 minutes to figure the shit out. just because you have the massiva advantage of perfect familiarity doesn't mean so much,
diana_coman: no, it's not about the loc and I specifically did not mention loc.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: no, it's neither about the write up (after all, I did it *because* I considered it needed) nor about the 20 minutes on it; it's about the fact that a vpatch containing ~30 hours worth of changes would have taken ~similar in writeup and the rest.
diana_coman: the grating thing being also that the only alternative I see would be "drop it in the logs/blog" as a clue/how-to and then keep searching for it or something.
diana_coman: not to mention that I specifically packed more than just the initial change that you were pushing, precisely because of this issue - the overhead on a vpatch means that small but useful changes will have to wait to accumulate.
diana_coman: maybe that is true though I think it shouldn't be.
diana_coman: sure, you can say "you're an idiot, set out your workbench better"; maybe it is that; I think there's more to it though but probably I'll have to find some time to scope it and write it down.
diana_coman: and then ofc something stares me in the face but I can't yet even fully scope it, gah.
diana_coman: should add that I think the problem is relatively superficial ie one of tools as they currently stand, not one of principles.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: trouble is that it's *not* development that is painful-er, not at all; it's...publishing that is painfuller and I doubt that has any merits.
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-29#1953885 - tbh I think we do; I've been mulling this for a while ie I'm not happy with the full V setup as it is - at least as it is for me currently - but so far it never made it to the front to push for some solution.
lobbes: in other news bracket linking now functional in mpwp logger. Tip of the hat again to asciilifeform, as I ended up lifting his bracket linking code verbatim from the reader.py
ericbot: Logged on 2019-11-29 15:20:21 mircea_popescu: lobbes, except if you do that, i'd rather do it on trilema.com first
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-11-29#1953847 << gotcha. So perhaps I can get an initial dump to you for trilema.com (with > march 2016 archives imported), then you can give the final dump to me for trilema.org?
jfw: mircea_popescu: nifty, thanks. Will see if I can accomodate on this pass; otherwise what I'd be working toward is a wallet that's still "declared" but with keys not accessible to node.
mircea_popescu: bvt, yes, but this was also deliberate -- i suspect current v toolset could well benefit from some hardcore usage to iron out inefficiencies, wrinkles and crumples.
jfw: (or whoever - I'm unclear on the early history there.)
jfw: mircea_popescu: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-29#1953825 - I think I do now: the ideal node would be able to readily list outputs and thus balances, and perhaps also history, for any given list of addresses, statelessly. Like a block explorer that didn't suck.
diana_coman: so in v time-costs and all that: changes took ~10 minutes including figuring out wtf to change (because I'm no expert in either mpwp or php) and then the rest up to 1 hour was making vpatch + test-press + write-up; pshaw.
diana_coman: ah, could be but if I get to that, might as well fix the recent comments too or it ain't worth the gpged, lol.
mircea_popescu: prolly slipped in, i guess.
diana_coman: I guess so; but I meant it more as in why default in the genesised mpwp; anyways, perhaps billymg makes a patch to take those out of there and to put also trackbacks/pingbacks as last in comments (I've fixed this on my blog only a few days ago but by default they mix in comments too)
mircea_popescu: dorion, it'd prolly be a good idea to take your own trackbacks out of the (independently --VERY SHORT) recent comments toolbar. i can't tell what's going on
diana_coman: tbh by now I really want to give a spin to jfw's gales thing too and actually see what's there.
mircea_popescu: this 2 really goes all the way back to the proposed portage supremacy i nixed back in 2018 or w/e it was. NO, portage is not special cuntlet, NO, portage may not be more important than any other turd. V rules, portage obeys or goes away.
mircea_popescu: from what I understand, it's not possible to compile Emacs using Musl << bwahahaha what the fuck
