mircea_popescu: (fun fact : installing security cameras increases the chances of sex act occuring in the space like 30x)
mircea_popescu: it's just as nonsensical, pointless and useless. but it meets much better standards of self-expression as subjectively perceived.
mircea_popescu: so they came up with the emo spew of the next decade : github contributions!
mircea_popescu: it's a means of expression, you udnerstand this ? emo mostly died because it was evidently pointless, to the poor misunderstood darlings themselves, "all this '''poetry''' that does nothing, not even rhyme."
mircea_popescu: (this is whart you get if you permit chelsea barabas and other knitters into "tech" : inept articles about how "my ass is really really fat and the couch is really really comfortable".)
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, ckang do you have a pump.io account ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, something about how "my delicious cake is in the fridge"
mircea_popescu: it's all an exercise in paper-over, and their only incentive is to claim surface.
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.
mircea_popescu: no because germany is not a handpuppet. it has like, courts and shit. respek the sovereign cumrag!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there was also that hellvig lawsuit (which afaik went exactly the same place all other "rule of law" challenges to notes-from-stalin ever went)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone looked into the guts of vmware's esx (now "esxi") see how exactly it does the hardware driving (ie which bsd it lifted from) ?
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.
mircea_popescu: the good news for you mod6 being that you don't really have to do anything ; v.pl is fine as it is, for now, and once phf has a prototype walker you can just move on to that and it'll be cheaper. continue work on your ada guy in the meanwhile at your leisure, seems we're converging that way.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes : is this a contract you folks want, incidentally ?
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.
mircea_popescu: soo trinque, can i hire you to install your blessed gentoo in there ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other sads : "can install following OS for you: Centos 6 and 7; Debian, 6, 7 and 8; Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04; Ubuntu Desktop; Esxi 5.5 and 6.5; Windows 7 Pro and 10 Pro (trial versions); Windows Server 2008, 2012 and 2016; or we can provide your KVM or IPMI access and you can install your own custom OS like Gentoo e,t,c"
mircea_popescu: (the great win being 注：爱比特.聂意译，翻译的不一定准确，也可能理解的完全相反，欢迎高手指教。~aka attention: my translation is not necessarily accurate, trilema may very well mean the exact opposite. such is the world of experts.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, this PARTICULAR item is a chinese forum that actually tracks us / includes (not terrible) translations of trilema pieces for commentary etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's lots of mfa using my name / stuff. apparently i'm a valuable google adwords item.
mircea_popescu: but the devil is in the details. consider how this flows : "so mp, do you want a gui ?" "uh ok" "should it have any buttons on it ?" "kinda what a gui is" "every button will have to be specified, as to location, as to..." "just get on with it" "6mb, will that be cash or check on other people's time ?" "motherfucker..."
mircea_popescu: 165 thousand lines! hundreds upon hundreds of files. IT DOES PRETTY MUCH NOTHING!
mircea_popescu: need-driven rewrite, best engineering known to man. it's certainly how i produce trilema.
mircea_popescu: the easiest press walk may in principle become very VERY expensive on large enough projects (in terms of the bitcoin blockchain large, 6 digit patches with 1-3 digit files included each it'd be a true unassailable nightmare). but then again it also bakes in some incentive to NOT DO THAT.
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.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yeah. so on one hand indeed the problem was as suspected ; but on the other hand phf is correct and yes the graph IS constrained.
mircea_popescu: which is a useful warning, because in principle if $1 and $2 could both delivered wanted $file, but the author intended for $1 to be used, $2 might produce different $otherfile than author needed, and then you can't press because your hashes no longer match downstream"
mircea_popescu: no, what it should do is yell "alternate paths to press $vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch requirement $x.alloc : $vtools+patch and $vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc."
mircea_popescu: wouldn't have gained us anything here, it'd just have pointed to vtools_fixes_static_tohex, but we pretty much knew that one is where it dies anyway.
mircea_popescu: it's not directly clear just ~how~ it could be more verbose here, seeing how it doesn't magically know all the "meanings" we associate to the patches themselves.
mircea_popescu: (which is not even wrong, as the serial application of patches from different branches can result in a messed up codebase ; but it could be more verbose about what happened)
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: a right. hanbot do me a favour : download ~only~ those patches which are in the leftmost trunk seen on phf's viewer (so exclude vtools_vdiff_sha, and its dependents) and try to flow again ?
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf what is the vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc link to vtools_fixes_static_tohex ? as now apparently the two patches are entirely disjunct, did you update or something ?
mircea_popescu: lemme reload all this pile of stuff here, i closed it all last night.
mircea_popescu: omg i just pointed out the cause : he links the wrong version of xalloc
mircea_popescu: read the log, they had a whole thing recently with like 100kgs worth of various shit.
mircea_popescu: though getting gear into paraguay is a little finnicky.
mircea_popescu: ah, that may work out. talk to ben_vulpes when he wakes.
mircea_popescu: well, talk to ben_vulpes ; not enough machines yet, but yes, more being shipped
mircea_popescu: ckang BingoBoingo is in uruguay building the pizarro.isp ; see pizarroisp.net and you know,
mircea_popescu: ckang are you the guy with the gopher stuff / suckless morphing ?
mircea_popescu: that's the fucking problem! the vtools_fixes_static_tohex uses xalloc.h 98BA when it should instead use its own line (earlier) version of C89B.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: vtools_fixes_static_tohex shouldn't depend on anything from vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.
mircea_popescu: phf oh! it tries to press vdiff_sha / etc because they're actually a dependency for tohex ?! why did you write it this way ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's not an emergency, sleep tight also we see tomorro
mircea_popescu: phf it's incomprehensible to me as the manifest.txt varies wildly.
mircea_popescu: this makes no sense. basically it goes 5 steps down the keccak tree and then jumps to step 1 and 2 on the sha tree.
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).
mircea_popescu: death("HEAD: $press[1] not found in flow\n") if !grep /^$press[1]$/, @flow << this specifically. how can it fail if it lists the item in flow ?
mircea_popescu: well the hope is that eventually we iron out all the edges...
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" ?
mircea_popescu: i still don't know why they don't ; but as far as i can see there isn't an actual problem with his patches or seals.
mircea_popescu: as long as the patches don't collide, ie, have the same hash ; and as long as they're properly chained and signed they should press.
mircea_popescu: mod6 no, listen, i don't see what the problem you see is. so a number of different patches, which are themselves distinct, nevertheless depend on the same version of a file (here, xaloc). this isn't, nor can be a problem ; and was not a prtoblem before, either.
mircea_popescu is thoroughly confused through the working of his own ineptitude, will need a moment to extract self.
mircea_popescu: i mean, vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch sorts off vtools_vdiff_sha, whereas vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch sorts right off genesis.
mircea_popescu: mod6 well i dun see how we can have collisions and live. i can't even understand how the fuck this was possible, two patches with DIFFERENT antecedents hash-colliding ?!
