asciilifeform: man-db dun re-emerge, either

asciilifeform: long ago reached.

asciilifeform: elsewhere on the net, 'We have received reports that the man-db package as supplied in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 has a vulnerability in the zsoelim program: it was vulnerable to a symlink attack. This has been fixed in version 2.3.10-69FIX.1' << ahahahaha THAT's why it's in there.

asciilifeform: it ain't on any of my old boxes.

asciilifeform: dafuq is this zsoelim idiocy

asciilifeform: ^ fresh gentoo box, in response to any man command

asciilifeform: man: command exited with status 1: /usr/libexec/man-db/zsoelim | /usr/libexec/man-db/manconv -f UTF-8:ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8//IGNORE | preconv -e UTF-8 | tbl | nroff -mandoc -c -rLL=96n -rLT=96n -Tascii

asciilifeform: holy FUQ :

asciilifeform: this is still classical format tho, right ?

asciilifeform: neato!

asciilifeform: wassthis

asciilifeform: but if i never have to boot up a 'i have nfi what is this nic' box again, it'll be soon enuff.

asciilifeform: oh yea no question of avoiding.

asciilifeform: ( goes blindly by what's loaded, but not all mods actually abort if they dunfind the iron )

asciilifeform: it does find a buncha spurious liquishit tho

asciilifeform: oh hah.

asciilifeform: in other finds, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-11#1654585 >>>> 'make localmodconfig' actually does it. ☝︎

asciilifeform: it will be of use

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: plz post this barf if you still have it handy

asciilifeform: they're what you get when you did emerge --sync

asciilifeform: there's one for every known 'gentootronic' item that one could build.

asciilifeform: ports, in gentoo world, are little scripts for building package

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: you surely know what are ports

asciilifeform: not installed proggies

asciilifeform: they're ports !!

asciilifeform: has errrything under the sun

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: if its in portage, its a port, eh

asciilifeform: or waiwat, in portage??

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: didja look in the stage3 ? were they in it ?

asciilifeform: exactly same

asciilifeform: nobody afaik.

asciilifeform: i did. on a sun. in.. 2002?

asciilifeform: when was last time you saw an au.

asciilifeform: betcha that was an option for 20yrs nao

asciilifeform: 'The sound must be stored as a file in RIFF-WAVE format (‘.wav’) or Sun Audio format (‘.au’).' << suggests vintage

asciilifeform: pdf on linuxen typically goes in massive, nominally open (openssl-style, i.e. wholly unreadable) pile of shit called 'ghostscript'

asciilifeform: 1st time i heard of such a thing

asciilifeform: ( laugh, but minix was recently found in the intel fritz thjng )

asciilifeform: use the os in the intel nic.

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: i assumed it, too, grew legs and ran away

asciilifeform: shituntu's place, is the oven.

asciilifeform: btw some very large share of 'no can haz trb, plz help' in the logs to date, feature shituntu

asciilifeform: curl belongs on the boot cd

asciilifeform: with what do you intend to load it, tho, if lacking

asciilifeform: ... hm, apparently not!

asciilifeform: along with errything else

asciilifeform: pretty sure that mod6 hosts a curl, at trb www

asciilifeform: how did anything invoking this proc, ever work ??!

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754868 << this wasnt finished. that thing does nuffin , regardless of the loop termination condition ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo had one ?

asciilifeform: where do i get 1 of these ? it eats wat, 3phase ?

asciilifeform: dat's a lotta watt

asciilifeform: !~calc 32*746

asciilifeform: 2

asciilifeform: the ordinary.

asciilifeform: dulap-III has only 4 fans, plus 5th in ps, none of'em any bigger than a 'D' battery. and yet sounds quite like shopvac at full blast.

asciilifeform: i literally couldn't think of a worse algo.

asciilifeform: fact is, trb sync is ragingly retarded. as in , microshit-level.

asciilifeform: if enemy can cost you 6months by pulling yer plug -- expect plug to be pulled. weekly.

asciilifeform: recall dulap-1 and its phuctor.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if it takes 6months to resync -- i care

asciilifeform: ( in yer own fleet, naturally )

asciilifeform: lost power ? whocares, wait 20-30hrs while thing resyncs from nearby box

asciilifeform: if the sync behaviour weren't so atrociously retarded, this'd be a pretty simple thing

asciilifeform: it'd... fit.

asciilifeform contemplates placing trb on ramdisk on this box

asciilifeform: i dun remember any of this liquishit in vanilla emacs

asciilifeform: pdf?!

asciilifeform: sound?!!

asciilifeform: just the dbus nonsense ?

asciilifeform: trinque: what didja end up having to change in it ?

asciilifeform: all useflags do is throw items into ./configure --blahblah...

asciilifeform: right

asciilifeform: but i dun expect to live to see this.

asciilifeform: trinque: although, the end of the line in my eyes is : a fully deautoconfized set of packages.

asciilifeform: trinque: no banhammers -- it's a useless item

asciilifeform: aaaa yes

asciilifeform: trinque: a separate q : can haz fully depythonized port system ?

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: do you have a depoetteringization recipe for openbsd ?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694342 << thread ☝︎

asciilifeform: !#s netbsd

asciilifeform: but the results ( at least in asciilifeform's torture room ) have been disappointing, currently afaik nobody even knows why bdb ignores locks knob ( perma-hosing trb ) !! under bsd

asciilifeform: tbh i do wish we were using a bsd as the base

asciilifeform: btw i finally measured current at full throttle: 330W .

asciilifeform: funnily enuff the box i'm making nao, is destined to become (among other things) a cuntoo mirror.

asciilifeform: that's notbad

asciilifeform: it's srsly 99% of build time. and single-threaded.

asciilifeform currently marveling re how much ~time~ , as well as space, is wasted in autoconf

asciilifeform: hm only in july ? could've sworn was seen before.

asciilifeform: ^ curious when 1st popped up

asciilifeform: !#s cuntoo

asciilifeform: naturally

asciilifeform: very neato

asciilifeform: aa

asciilifeform: i've been trying danielpbarron's ( which used , in turn, pieces of mine , which was merely a list of banned turds )

asciilifeform: btw trinque is your recipe on www ?

asciilifeform: only eudev remains usable, aha

asciilifeform: it gets extracted when you untar.
