phf: aria2, i think it has a web interface even, but the whole thing is entirely automatic. cron to hoover up torrents from ~/Downloads, ssh them into a box folder, sleep based script picks it up on other end, feeds it to aria, when finished downloading writes it to an rss and also to a directory that's expose through apache
mircea_popescu: phf what are you using btw ? i'm thinking deluge, apparently has a web interface can just get the girlies set up with.
mircea_popescu: i guess. it's not even that good!
asciilifeform: i suspect there's su-era nostalgia keeping the thing alive. sorta how in jp old farts are ~100% of whale meat market, because mcarthur fed it to'em back in the day
mircea_popescu: no, i know. terrible orcism.
mircea_popescu: 481 * 9 = 4329, ie more than the hd i bought. not cheap.
phf: i don't at present recode them because space is cheap
phf: well, i download the 9gb versions, and have a script that keeps only one specific audio track. the whole thing is a semi manual process though, since i have to select the right track by ear, etc.
asciilifeform: btw i oughta say a word re how rockchiptron reproduces. i wrote a bit of script, ./breed_boot.sh /dev/sd_whatever_cardreader_with_card_in_it -- produces copy of the boot card ; ./breed_root.sh /dev/large_enuff_disk copies the root partition contents onto a new part on said disk
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't think we have a machine that is even free for this purpose; and so don't understand why we'd ship hdds down without a machine to put 'em in, although i could be being thick and not seeing something
mircea_popescu: kinda why i have 0 interest in teh ruworld torrents, nfi who told these folks it's ok to hire some tolomak to do say richard burton. wtf.
mircea_popescu: phf i can't fucking STAND dubs.
phf: mircea_popescu: well, sometimes quality does suck, when you do e.g. a wall projection. those 9gb prints are usually done by obsessive people. but main reason is that i'm pulling from slav sources, where 800mb version is slav audio track only. "original audio track" is a bonus on those "archival" prints
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: all of the machines in the rack are being used; i was asking if one of the rockchips can handle this kind of duty.
mircea_popescu: because i also intend to re-encode everything.
phf: (but also this is a thin pipe for 2-9gb customary torrent sizes, i know mircea_popescu is partial to 750mb prints)
mircea_popescu: it blows my mind i got a discount for being in latinoland.
phf: don't need fat pipe to torrent for backups, will just take long time. my torrent box is on a very thin line, and i just set the upload/download max clients seed ratio etc. appropriately
mircea_popescu: holy shit they're expensive now. i just bought a 4tb toshiba for ~100 bux locally ; seems item is like 120 or so online ?
asciilifeform: btw folx, today is absolute last day for 'i want $custom-iron'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i can procure, if you say which; but gotta have concrete plan .
mircea_popescu: "well... apparently it hurts you ? i've seen women go through gangbangs with less extrapyramidal effects"
mircea_popescu: anyway, and she wanted to put me under! and i was naw, go ahead. took some convincing, and by the time she was halfway through she was sweating profusely and had the shakes. "but doesn't it hurt ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not just usian disease anymore. i had some work done recently, very pretty girl, quite competent (sadly, being a good dentist requires the steady hand only a properly developed brain can produce. retards can't ever be sharpshooters, dentists, surgeons etc because dubious genetics -> dubios fenotype -> too ungaitly assymetric to perform)
asciilifeform: as i understand this even is brainrot from 10y ago; present-day rubyists do not even see the x.y.ago.ago.ago , but 'program' in 'libraries' written by same ( or perhaps even by a generation of 2 of 'programmers in libraries' )
a111: Logged on 2016-12-27 18:18 mircea_popescu: oh, hey, I KNEW this was gonna be in there. a) "I recommend using quaternion variables to represent two things: an object's rotation, and/or a rotation which you'd like to apply to some object." ; b) "You cannot represent rotations of greater than 180 degrees with Quaternions, and when doing a Slerp() or MoveTowards() rotation with Quaternions, the rotation always take the shortest path. So if you need to rotate more than 180
asciilifeform was waiting for somebody to 'i was waiting for that'
asciilifeform: phf: i looked in my notes, this was mistake : story concerned actually 'rails', a library for same
mircea_popescu: i was waiting for that.
phf: fwiw i have it, i'll put mine online in the next day or two
asciilifeform: aa it wasn't a 'noo, dun do it!11', but a 'i tried, never got even helloworld'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at one point i wanted to run the client for 1 of these ( i forget which, maybe 'mastodon' ) and barfed : GB of ruby
mircea_popescu: https://www.wired.com/story/decentralized-social-networks-sound-great-too-bad-theyll-never-work/ << i take this as a pretty reliable counter-signal. after all it's in fucking wired.
asciilifeform: 'here you can have a stock kernel tarball' 'here have a stock gcc' 'but can i rebuild the contents of $box?' '...'
ckang: I dont, never heard of it, looking now ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( orig . 'the wolves are fed, but the sheep are whole' , i.e. all parties walk away content )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, something about how "my delicious cake is in the fridge"
mircea_popescu: the motivations are transparently unprincipled. i mean -- they published "support" at the bottom, which 100% consists of cheap linkbait by assholes a la "pump.io" and so forth. support my foot.
asciilifeform: what even was this, i missed it
a111: Logged on 2018-04-06 20:58 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is not even clear to me that eben moglen (note, not rms) gpl experiment , i.e. 'use copyrasty against itself', worked for a short while ( to naked eye it would seem that it did, bsd routines got subsumed into microshit, gnu -- not , but there ~are~ alternative plausible explanations that don't involve 'fear of gpl violation' )
asciilifeform: (y'know, the thing that swaps registers in and out, traps i/o for simulating disk/nic, etc)
trinque: guy makes good stuff, so I never questioned his technique
trinque: girlfriend's pop is from east texas, where the coon-ass leaks over from louisiana. any time he cooks something tasty, it's "I put my foot in that!"
mircea_popescu: i've been eating lots and lots of apple feet.
mircea_popescu: and in today's funny spanish lesson : pie, in spanish, means foot. this, of course, does not prevent the uppity coffee house i favour from being all international and offering pie de manzana.
trinque: I was gonna say "make you pie, agreeable, what"
douchebag: That's what I told them, but you know how women are
trinque: typically I run them in 24hrs or fewer.
mircea_popescu is commissioning a new server with a 1gbps unmetered port to act as a torrent client, because i've finally decided i wish to keep copies of all the films i review.
trinque: wont be the vtronic portage just yet, but yeah, I can install an entirely usable gentoo for ya.
mircea_popescu: soo trinque, can i hire you to install your blessed gentoo in there ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's lots of mfa using my name / stuff. apparently i'm a valuable google adwords item.
mircea_popescu: that's what i mean.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am in horrified awe of the recent realisation that http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-07#1793799 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: need-driven rewrite, best engineering known to man. it's certainly how i produce trilema.
phf: i suppose that's one way to release btcbase source: slowly rewrite it all in ada
mircea_popescu: phf i guess next on your plate is make a prototype proper grapher for all time ? then mod6 can put that in v and avoid further such wtfs. ☟︎
phf: fwiw there's no ambiguity in the patchset, the dependency graph _is constrained_. but you can't make that constraint rule based, you can e.g. discover that constraint by walking the graph while keeping the track of the checksums of the press (i suspect there's a smarter graph theoretical way of doing it, but a "press walk" is the easiest).
mod6: mircea_popescu: solid plan. i can add something like that perhaps when alternate paths are detected.
mod6: mircea_popescu: i can try the leftmost trunck on phf's viewer, but not right this minute. maybe in a few hours. i'm pinned down in the mud. gotta kill the guy in the pillbox first.
mod6: mircea_popescu: well, for instance, it would be nice if I'd have put a statement in the release version that yells when it throws a vpatch out for rule breakage.
mod6: alf already instructed me a number of months ago to be more verbose about failures. I didn't get that done as much on the last release as I was trying to limit the scope to the last change for the press-paths.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i suspect we ran into a novel situation : if there's ambiguous file usage in multi-head bundles, v panics.
mircea_popescu: well now i can't fucking reproduce it at all.
mod6: If you understand my meaning. I.e. I would need to add an exception to the rule for that.
mircea_popescu: lemme reload all this pile of stuff here, i closed it all last night.
mircea_popescu: phf i looked at the patch itself.
mod6: I suspect that is the problem with the rules.
mircea_popescu: omg i just pointed out the cause : he links the wrong version of xalloc
mod6: i need to do a deep debugging session to figure out the root cause.
mod6: I could have missed one, indeed.
mod6: I'm hoping that phf will look at my latest link and audit that for me. I've pulled everything from : http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-keccak-regrind/
mod6: I don't have time to debug this shit now. but at some point I'll have to actually look at this project and try to figure out what the graph is ~supposed~ to look like and why my V chokes on it.
mod6: I have no fucking idea what is going on. alf - that's really weird. im using the following patches/seals, and I'm getting this: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/RrM1h/?raw=true
asciilifeform: ( it does this for ben_vulpes's most recent key also. i still do not know why. )
asciilifeform: mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794439 >> i got totally different result, using your v.pl : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/EixkY/?raw=true ☝︎
ckang: i have machines, just need ping/power/pipe
ckang: I have an odd fetish for collecting NDA code/documents
ckang: I wanted some offsite / bulletproof storage, I am moving entirely off the 'cloud'
ckang: I have a few old supermicro 2u's
ckang: I was wondering if there was any details about that available yet?
ckang: oh, I think I need to be unvoiced, says I cant myself yet
ckang: I guess would explain it
ckang: yea, I like services over webapps
douchebag: i'm more experienced with web stuff than him
ckang: i guess that is a big vague though, i poke things until they break
ckang: i do security research
ckang: I have used the suckless irc bot though
ckang: to an outsider it is a pretty extreme idea, but i dig it
ckang: ive heard stories about this place and decided i needed to see it for myself
douchebag: I've known this guy for awhile now, mainly discuss technical topics and such with him
phf: i can only say that i think that btcbase presser is doing the same thing, with the "5 steps down keccak and 2 steps down sha", but the grapher doesn't. i think grapher uses more Graph Theory, but i neither remember what the difference is, nor can i debug it now (was about to go to sleep myself)
mod6: i need to call it a night.
mod6: well, i dunno.
mircea_popescu: mod6 ok here's what i don't understand : for some reason the "flow" goes from vtools_vpatch, which is in the keccak line, to vdiff_sha_fixes, which is in the other line (sha line).
mod6: I added a debugging line:
mircea_popescu: oh oh i see!
mod6: i don't think im the right person for this.
mircea_popescu: mod6 but specifically as to the point, can you see why v.pl spits out that error message there ? am i right in reading the script as "if the file is not found by name" ?
mod6: can't even get anything else done, all i do is V. audit peoples shit.
