decimation: BingoBoingo: no definition of a second will cover
the variation in
the earth's rotation
decimation: asciilifeform: but if you eliminate
the correction for leapseconds, you are going
to create one extra step for someone who is
trying
to derive longitude from solar position
decimation: accumulate
them for years into some kind of 'leap hour'
mod6: <+asciilifeform> what are we
to do? pretend it's 1995 and post uuencoded
turds ? << perfectly fine with me.
BingoBoingo: rather
than admit far smaller digits have meaning
they would rather make
the world bark on command.
BingoBoingo: Because significant figures... Maybe if
things desync
this often more figures are significant
than are politically convenient
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Convenient political fiction
to cover a simple rounding error
BingoBoingo: Seriously, pick a better number of cesium vibrations for
the official figure
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2014 01:36:30; asciilifeform: everything feels free
to manipulate
the hanging bits
mod6: you know, before I did any of
that, i
thought about doing a detached sig, but
then i wondered if something really funky would happen, like it would get somehow added
to
the patch-list automagically, and it doesn't belong
there either.
assbot: Logged on 26-10-2014 21:44:02; asciilifeform:
till we have a gpg
that clearsigns without escape char mutilation - we got
this.
mod6: as it seems, gnupg did
that nonsense.
mod6: actually, jurov, it's not
the fault of
the
turdalator
mod6: im just gonna post
the fuckin script
to
the website direct.
mod6 breaks random
things
mod6: jurov: check
this out
mod6: ^-----
the
turdalator adds
this dash on parse
mod6: anyway, so
the script
that i re-posted
to
the list wont work
BingoBoingo thinks it would be fair
to say Linux is silk shirt, FreeBSD is wool shirt, OpenBSD is hair shirt, and NetBSD is rolling around naked in poison ivy
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well most people complain about
the big kernel lock.
danielpbarron: i also have
the sudo mastery book, although i haven't cracked it open yet
BingoBoingo: trinque: In
this
tome a lot of OpenBSD specific stuff, but also general good practices. M W Lucas also has a sudo mastery book as part of his security
trinity.
trinque: BingoBoingo: a best-practices in general
thing or something specific
to openbsd's sudo?
BingoBoingo: One very useful area
the book discusses is configuring sudo users
danielpbarron: if you have beginners openbsd questions feel free
to ask me
decimation: isn't
there significant differences wrt
the kernel?
BingoBoingo: trinque: Indeed. Only current
through 5.4 or 5.5 but differences since are well documented.
The book is good for differences versus Linux and other BSD's
trinque: BingoBoingo: I'll grab Absolute OpenBSD,
ty
BingoBoingo: Other
than Google using OpenBSD's libc for Android over Gnu libc
BingoBoingo thinks Brent Cook going
to OpenBSD is one of
the best
things
to happen
to Linux in a long
time.
BingoBoingo: 5.7 will bring as kernel space ASLR, also current on some platforms has
that, but is... unfinished
BingoBoingo: trinque: Before wiping best
to play with OpenBSD on some designated
toy hardware. I can not recommend
the Micheal W Lucas book enough.
trinque: I'm considering wiping out
this gentoo install with openbsd
decimation: asciilifeform:
the whole episode steers one
toward bsd
trinque: danielpbarron: you
telling christians what
their book says again?
danielpbarron: huh, I seem
to be shadowbanned on reddit -- finally!
BingoBoingo: 9 years ago
the debian official random number was 6. Now glibc fuckery is uncovered. Imperial nudity advances.
decimation: re: glibc bug << was
this an ulrich drepperism?
trinque: I'm going
to afk for a bit and finish up some work stuff,
then see about haxing on
the bot
trinque: speaking of
things I should
throw cycles into
gribble: BlueMeanie4 was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 6 weeks, 2 days, 2 hours, 35 minutes, and 48 seconds ago: <BlueMeanie4> most of
them are in Berlin
BingoBoingo: Dunno why deedbot would need a deed.py client
though
trinque: I can never stay focused on it (rather, cannot pull self away from moneymaking endeavors) long enough
to finish something
BingoBoingo likes
to imagine an alternate history where
that one piece of
turdware and imagined uses of it did not keep self on Windows for an unconfortably long period of history
BingoBoingo used 1.x series unfamiliar with
this version 2 bullshit.
BingoBoingo: at
the
time it was click on staff and select note
to drop.
TheNewDeal: you
type in notes and it outputs MIDI values?
BingoBoingo: trinque:
Thanks. Made with "Noteworthy Composer" a lowest bidder sort of Win32 music
typesetting software
that can output
to MIDI
decimation: also I
think it would be rather inconvenient
to disassemble and reassemble watch
to use screwdriver
decimation: it probably won't reach
the critical 'man adoption factor' and
therefore will be hated and uncool
decimation: but
the derps who run
the airport security chumpatron would 'trip' on 'leatherman-like object'
decimation: not
that a regular 'leatherman' (sans knife) couldn't go
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah,
the 'selling point' is
that you can
take it
through an airport
BingoBoingo back
then did not realize was
treading chumpatron
decimation: but certainly has connections with control
theory (feedback systems)
decimation: asciilifeform: I
think
that came from combat doctrine
decimation: perhaps
the 'digitization' of a piano keyboard is a convenient simplification for
the brain - structure allows creativity, etc
nubbins`: sounds like my understanding of
the nature of reality
nubbins`: if i'm not mistaken, your problem is
the inability
to express your
tune as either notes or as a hum
that can be recorded
nubbins`: i once dated a woman who worked at a craft store. a guy comes rushing in one day screaming about music paper. he needed
to write down
the notes in his head before he forgot
them.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> except
the process of searching by
trial and error destroys
the head music. <<
This so much
nubbins`: but
the actual sound production side of it is 100% analog, so full granularity on pitch,
tone, a bunch of other
things
decimation learned 'a' (440 hz) by listening
to 'wwv'
nubbins`: it'll store 8 or 16 steps and loop
them
nubbins`: asciilifeform it's got a digital step-sequencer built into it, so once you find your correct input
tone, you can map it
to a step.
