spyked: diana_coman, approved and ty for the link. I knew there was _some_ discussion on that, but I could not for the life of me find it at the time.
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#1953829 << glad you like it :) And yes, I was thinking of implementing the square-bracket convention. It just seems incomplete without it.
spyked: mircea_popescu, I pushed a fix to feedbot, lessee how it works. I expect it should send the notifications in the correct order next time
mircea_popescu: lobbes, thinking about it, this is actually just about mature enough i should forward sql dump and filesystem huh ?
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
spyked: so I'll add that bug to the todo list for fixing
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
diana_coman: spyked: comments are numbered, yes; and ah, I hadn't noticed it was down.
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/ )
lobbes: in other news, I've got the blog echo complete. Two ways to quote: 1) can use the log line reference link 2) or use a standard #select; bot will read out what is in the "<span id="select">" tags.
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-11-27#1953702 << I like how this is shaping up
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953652 << this is true. I'm wary about bringing down snr, but refraining altogether also ain't a solution I suppose. Careful derailment
agricola: i have now registered my public key
mircea_popescu: also, EVERY woman looked derpier when she just met me vs when she had known me for a while. EVERY ONE. and i don't mean a little derpier, arguably derpier etc.
mircea_popescu: nfi why they give them names anyway, i can usually recall on the basis of face-and-tits, but names ?!
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, i'm going through archvies, knee deep in 15yo hanbot pics over here and such things.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I suspect a number of members of the outgoing coalition are headed to jail in a smaller version of the Brasilero carwash thing, starting with the losing presidential candidate and including everyone appointed to a position at the refined petroluem products monopoly.
mircea_popescu: i'm not about to pile up compatibility hell atop that already mountaineous task, you know ?
jfw: The split existed historically in that they developed as separate projects; gcc works with multiple c libraries as musl works with multiple compilers. Perhaps mircea_popescu is inquiring into a deeper question of whether it's right to maintain the split (presently - I've no idea)
dorion_road: so I am expecting whoever owns that to genesis what is chosen.
dorion_road: mircea_popescu gcc refers to c compiler, ave1 said he's working on a genesis based on version 4.9.4. By c library I mean the choice essentially between glibc and musl and dynamic and static linking, e.g. http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-27#1953721
jfw: Besides proprietary GPU drivers there are other "traditional Linux" things not likely to run on musl with any amount of futzing, such as compiled non-static binaries (proprietary apps, the Adacore GNAT distribution) and "enterprisey" thinks like authentication plugins; I can't speak to whether we should care about these.
jfw: My view of musl is that it's substantially smaller and cleaner than glibc, but still has a substantial rate of bugfixes mixed in with feature additions. My sense is that many of these are in the area of threading / concurrency, for which they wrote a new implementation of the userspace part, and also an area I'm less familiar with though wouldn't mind improving on.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-27 15:01:28 dorion_road: jfw I know you've spent a good deal of time with musl in the process of getting Gales statically linked , do you think owning the c library is a good fit for you ?
jfw: BingoBoingp, guessing that's panamaserver.com , panamaservers.com looks like a parked domain. I'm not familiar with them.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: fwiw that panamaservers thing failed my very initial filtering hence I didn't even bother jfw or dorion_road about it and the thing with customer service and support doesn't sound that great to me either.
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953664 << I don't know that datacenter in particular. I can ask around though, Panama is small. I'd offer to pay a visit to their office if I was in town.
bvt: dorion_road: the kernel rng vpatch will be finished on this weekend (i have all the components in the benchmarking blogpost, just need to clean things up).
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-12 16:57:31 jfw: It's a Linux distro I put together, in a couple stages, based on gcc 4.7, musl, busybox userland, exclusively static linking
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-06 23:08:07 trinque: and you have fewer men than you'd like, and I'm not going to pretend to be 20, and then cry when I fail at it. that's why I said I'm looking at kernel + busybox for my own stack. even it isn't human-sized, but it's about two orders of magnitude less twine and shit than "standard linux distro"
dorion_road: To expand what I'm thinking re userland, the choice as far as I see is between stage3 via Cuntoo or Busybox a la Gales + whatever addons are not included in Busybox.
dorion_road: jfw I know you've spent a good deal of time with musl in the process of getting Gales statically linked , do you think owning the c library is a good fit for you ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-26 19:03:31 lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953620 << sounds good to me. The mp-wp bot needs to be completed/delivered this week (which I will have some extra time to do so due to upcoming US holidays). Once I get that and the auctionbot work estimation complete, I will propose a deadline for my ebuild 101 homework.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-26 19:03:23 lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953607 << indeed still outstanding. I'll aim to get a proper estimation in hours for that work out by Saturday
dorion_road: bvt, I've been reading your kernal and tmsr os articles; I must say they are a pleasure. I'm integrating many of the points you've made in the article I'm writing to clarify the plan here.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-17 12:42:50 ave1: I was genesing it, and will continue to do so. But with feedback in the loop. So, for example, gcc comes with an old STL html documentation tree, can this be dropped? (I would say yes)
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: do you know where in db are trackback's contents ? I replaced dianacoman.com in posts and in comments, apparently not in trackbacks, hm.
mircea_popescu: i don't mind, that's for sure.
mircea_popescu: bvt, aite, i think we're good there.
BingoBoingo: Apartment rents in their neighborhood appear to be ~150% to 175% of similarly situated Montevideo rents, and they opened the conversation with a request for my salary expectations. I appreciated they replied, even with an opportunity other than what I approached them about... but I'd like to avoid the situation where I end up in the wrong job *and* underpaid for taking on the extra risk.
BingoBoingo: In unlikely local headlines seen today, ~10 million USD worth of "contraband" went from Uruguay to Paraguay contrary to everything I understand about smuggling between the Guays.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, they aren't paricularly looking to get more hands in Uruguay, but they are interested enough to have a get to know you sit down. I'm emphasizing my readiness to locate while moderating my expectations.
BingoBoingo: Asia's delivered some fast, but dumb. I am beginning to suspect folks with heads in the DC space may have moved to doing the POP in a bunch of other people's buildings thing Pizarro was intended to grow into.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm trying to get that number up to 500. Sticking with the small got a lot of the same dumb silence I met in 2017.
lobbes: and with that, I'm going back to the workbench for said mp-wp bot.
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953620 << sounds good to me. The mp-wp bot needs to be completed/delivered this week (which I will have some extra time to do so due to upcoming US holidays).

lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953567 << sorry. I'll refrain from derailing my trains of thought into the forum going forward
dorion_road: mircea_popescu thanks, making it explicit since I'm new here.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-12 17:07:58 jfw: I expect that'd be quite difficult, its libGL is a glibc-based .so
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-13 18:16:19 bvt: re tmsr os - i am curious what work plan trinque will come up with, esp wrt static linking.
dorion_road: For fundamental strategy decisions such as the static linking knot, I'm really going to have to lean heavily on the technical expertise here.
dorion_road: I will make it clear here that I judge trinque's technical knowledge and experience to be much greater than my own, from both programming and sys admin perspective.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't know if I've been this strictly encouraging to read since the War of Life debut.
jfw: diana_coman: that needs to be done, yes; I suppose I'd have to do this as my morning writing, if you'd be ok with that
jfw: dorion_road, diana_coman: we're in clear agreement that I should write it up then; think I should make that a priority for this week?
ericbot: Logged on 2019-11-13 03:01:41 lobbes: I'm aiming to get remainder of mp-wp logger complete in under two weeks. Then rest of Nov I want to tidy up auctionbot. So Dec 1st should be a good starting point for me
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-26 00:43:50 lobbes: fwiw, as I understood it the plan was trinque would be managing spyked and myself on the livecd/usb work, starting in Dec
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953547 << I need to update myself on the livecd/usb work thread.
dorion_road: I understand the "what you're engaging" part is important to know in deciding, but for the sake of sharing an estimate that it's work you're interested in.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-25 21:24:34 trinque: best of luck to dorion_road then. last I heard neither spyked nor lobbes were free until december, and no, I'm not able to maintain the pace of engagement this appears to require.
dorion_road: diana_coman I agree.
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-25#1953494 << thank you, that I can understand and take responsibility for.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-25 16:03:55 jfw: To update on http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-12#1950766 , I would be more comfortable with 10 hours a week, at least if it's an "intangibles and goodwill" sort of deal. dorion_road was in accord if I recall. And as discussed with spyked, the limited time could provide a good pressure to keep it productive.
BingoBoingo: I suppose Asian proficiency in English can't be any worse than Uruguay's alleged "Best in Latin America, though no one knows what the letters sound like" English
mircea_popescu: (among teh great advantages of ye log import : sql search for "power" "rangers" now yields 94 rows in set, all of the Forum logs for X format. yippee! i kinda do vaguely regret however not bothering to immortalize the original gushing fan on tardstalk, "oh, you guys are like power rangers!!!" in excited response to the perceived great acumen displayed by hearn fucking up bitcoin while everyone else was watching manga)
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-26 04:52:14 spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-25#1953525 <-- way I see it, this version numbering scheme comes as a consequence of the adoption of a "move fast and break things" ideology. it's just numbers, the guys leading those projects don't try to make any distinction between "major" and "minor" changes anymore
mircea_popescu: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953553 << countervailingly, the way i see it is that insecurity flipped once the generations changed ; the generation outgoing with the sept that never ended had a deeply rooted fear of its own inconsequence and inadequacy that manifested in a version of neoprotestant modesty whereby by the time a program reached version 2 something it had passed through three hands or m

mircea_popescu: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953547 << the thing you're quoting doesn't match the structure of a thing that may be quoted as the basis for "i understood" in this context, because it's the innard of a loop rather than the return of the level-adequate conditional block.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-26 00:45:11 lobbes: anyways, why not have dorion come in as the day-to-day manager, with trinque in a more advisory/consultant role? I thought this was more or less the original plan to begin with tbh
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, that sounds pretty great, actually. what's wrong with asia after all, they have tiny weird looking chicks but i guess one can always rubberband a coupla together and fuck in between the bellies. vaseline conquers all!
bvt: spyked: ftr, this is just a brain dump, i'm trying to evolve my own understanding of the problem

spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-25#1953543 <-- actually I've been getting some more intimate knowledge of cuntoo in the last coupla weeks, now I have a write-up I need to do on that... a couple of them even.

BingoBoingo: I am suspecting Asia prefers Gringo employees to gringo entrepreneurs/business partners.
BingoBoingo: It's looking like I probably should have started the search with Asia... Fastest non-autoresponder response yet (notably faster than when I approached the place for a quote)
trinque: best of luck to dorion_road then. last I heard neither spyked nor lobbes were free until december, and no, I'm not able to maintain the pace of engagement this appears to require.
mircea_popescu: suppose the next blogpost is "here's the 500 dcs i talked to"
BingoBoingo: jfw: Good. I was checking out some Linux distros as part of the housecleaning, and everything later than 4 is hopeless. The chopped up 0.7.2 bitcoin client I use... sits in ~1.3 GB of RAM on GCC4 linux. Precariously sits in 4-ish GB RAM on GCC6 linux before exploding. Clang, and GCC later than 6, seem impossible.
mircea_popescu: huh, i suppose i'll have to open that up, iirc the last one was dpb
jfw: mircea_popescu: could be, indeed; I'll keep mine in the queue for publishing as that may help clarify.
mircea_popescu: jfw, maybe there's mutual parts, what the dell do i know

ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-25 14:39:13 dorion_road: I'm thinking best ot verify my understanding through conversation here, then write an article by the end of the week to solidify the priorities and goals.

ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-12 17:49:00 jfw: my schedule seems pretty packed at least through the end of 2019, perhaps at that point I could make something like 20 hours per week, will have to consider

dorion_road: diana_coman thanks , getting them in async while I have the voice :)
diana_coman: dorion_road: I'm sure there will be no problem to discuss those as soon as mircea_popescu gets back to his terminal too.
dorion_road: I'm thinking best ot verify my understanding through conversation here, then write an article by the end of the week to solidify the priorities and goals.
dorion_road: I don't dispute the noteed [junior management status, but am keen to demonstrate the bootstrapping people process, as BB puts it.
