lobbes: In other plans, I'm aiming to take a more treacherous approach to coding the
auto-bidding for
auctionbot. I figure I can handle the majority sans-python, and instead simply leverage the postgres db it sits on (i.e. listen for insert into bid table, execute some postgres functions, spit results into outbox table, done). I'll make an article of what I come

auctionbot work estimation complete, I will propose a deadline for my ebuild 101 homework.
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
lobbes is aiming to get the mp-wp bot fix out by tonight. Then needs to get the
auctionbot in better shape.
lobbes:
auctionbot lives again
lobbes: in other news, my second server is finally provisioned. I'm off to resurrect
auctionbot and blog!
lobbes: BingoBoingo: confirmed. I have both recent blog dump and
auctionbot postgres dumps. I should be good to go for the time-being
lobbes:
http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1942856 << in my case, I *think* I have all the backups I need. I had the presence of mind to run my backup script of
auctionbot data and blog dump when I logged in for final time. There is always a chance I forgot something or dump is corrupt, etc. Will find out in the coming days once heathen replacement comes online
lobbes:
http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1942833 << btw, I've snagged another leased server from some singapore heathen hoster. Once they provision the thing and give login info then
auctionbot will live again. However, if it is desperately needed in the meantime I can slap it up on the usg hoster as a stop-gap measure
lobbes: I may look into getting another box from them myself; gonna need another home for blog /
auctionbot and would rather not hang everything on my usg hoster
lobbes: BingoBoingo: Do I have the okay to bring an uncloaked
auctionbot online?
lobbes:
http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-29#1932106 << I agree this is probably the proper behavior. But it ain't changing anytime soon. The heathen coad lobbesbot runs on [i.e. it doesn't sit on the logbot tree like
auctionbot] is slated to be discontinued just as soon as I get some more important things complete. Not sinking any more time trying to staple that dead horse
lobbes:
auctionbot (which sits on the logbot tree) however is postgres
lobbes: Re: my php logotron, I still intend to grunt that out, vpatch it, and stand up loggers. In addition I have no plans to discontinue any of my existing infrastructure either (
auctionbot will keep auctioning; and when I die I have already vpatched it so someone else always pick up the torch). To be clear: Going forward, I will be voluntarily be stepping into knighthood so as to have a clearer focus and
lobbes:
auctionbot also hosted on rockchip
lobbes_field: Sry about
auctionbot downtime. I shoulda checked before I left for the mines. Will bring back online tonight
lobbes_field: mircea_popescu: re: specced in lisp, indeed, with the exception of my python command router /
auctionbot, the rest of the ircbot/logbot v-tree is lisp. I know python ain't long for the world so I figure it is time I lose those training wheels
lobbes: So with the release of the
auctionbot vpatch the next item up in my list was the auto-bidding. However, I'm thinking I may bump the "logotron for #pizarro" item up (eventually releasing as a vpatch). Going to take a stab at making it 100% common lisp.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ lobbes: next up on my conveyor is to publish a vpatch for the
auctionbot proper, as right now I've only provided the 'command router' it sits on. I aim to have that out by Sunday the latest
lobbes: looks like
auctionbot is down, I'ma investigate
lobbes:
auctionbot was down for ~9 hours today (back online now). I'm going to give a 100 ecu per auction hour credit to everyone who had auctions going during this downtime, since no one could put in bids during that time and I don't wanna charge fees for those hours. Thinking I'll make this standard policy going forward
lobbes: I just made a tiny fix to
auctionbot. Everything seems to be working well and I don't anticipate any problems. Still, I'll be around for the rest of today in case there are.
lobbes: danielpbarron: fwiw my pizarro rockchip has served me well thus far as a home for both
auctionbot and for mp-wp. Hell, you could run a mirror for your church's www in the event it goes down AND host the poker bot
lobbes: jurov: why not use the
auctionbot?
lobbes: TMSR:
auctionbot is now voiced and now sitting in #trilema
lobbes: but there's still the !Qlater tell, the #eulora log-quoting, #eulora log search, etc. I guess I figured why not take the opportunity to organize vastly different functionalities into separate bots. (e.g. all the logger-related functionality in one bot, auction/ticker-announce/price-history in
auctionbot, everything-else in 'miscbot')
lobbes: well, my ultimate aim is to eventually rewrite ALL of lobbesbot's functionality to stand on top of logbot versus the heathen limnoria.
auctionbot was the first victory in this regard.
lobbes: I'll start working to get the voicing figured out for
auctionbot and bring it in here.
lobbes: for the time being, the legacy
auctionbot (lobbesbot's !Qauction) will remain up and running as well
lobbes: ^^
auctionbot (with reverse auction functionality) is now live
lobbes: "castle-only" may be the way to go anyways; I'm not sure #trilema even needs the
auctionbot to sit in here
☟︎ lobbes: asciilifeform: btw, I'm planning to have
auctionbot sit in #eulora, and #trilema-lobbes to start. Would you like it to also sit in #pizarro?
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: Sent 1 hour and 25 minutes ago: <lobbes> bot's back. Once
auctionbot is finished I will go back and redo the !Qlater tell stuff to sit on top of logbot as well (right now, this too is sitting on an old heathen bot that doesn't auto-authenticate with NickServ after fleanode disconnect shenanigans)
lobbes: and speaking of
auctionbot: development is complete. At the moment I am getting ready to begin some prod testing and then all that's left is to write the blog post explaining the usage. Getting close!
☟︎ lobbes: !Qlater tell asciilifeform bot's back. Once
auctionbot is finished I will go back and redo the "!Qlater tell" stuff to sit on top of logbot as well (right now, this too is sitting on an old heathen bot that doesn't auto-authenticate with NickServ after fleanode disconnect shenanigans)
lobbes: Well okay then. I'm going to move forward with
auctionbot dealing 100% in ecu. Meaning users will need to convert their input to ecu even if dealing outside of #e. (which, I'm fine with. atm Ecu allows me to simply use integer data type and also allows users to deal in fractional satoshis)
lobbes: asciilifeform: current
auctionbot runs in #eulora (arm of lobbesbot)
lobbes: and now I can get ass back in year on
auctionbot lobbes: still need to test the hell out of it, so I'm aiming for maybe a week (which, still gives me 2 months for
auctionbot ETL. eh. will see)
lobbes: I've tried to design it to be 'modular' so that the operator can easily add their own custom commands, and to be 'vpatch friendly' in that folx can release 'whateverbot' as a vpatch that just extends it (in fact, this is my plan for the
auctionbot)
lobbes: mod6 I would gladly work to earn that grant. As it is, I already need to get the 'legacy'
auctionbot away from heathen dependencies (in this case, the 'supybot' api), so in building this custom
auctionbot for pizarro I may just take the opportunity to design something sitting atop ircbot/logbot and eventually release a proper genesis
☟︎ lobbes: mod6: I'll work to see if I can spin up a custom fiat-for-btc version of the
auctionbot for you to use next month.
