trinque had a muntzed emacs port while sitting on obsd.
asciilifeform: trinque: what didja end up having to change in it ?
asciilifeform: just the dbus nonsense ?
trinque: that, whatever else, don't recall now. sound maybe, other strange.
asciilifeform: sound?!!
ben_vulpes: if an email player, why not a music reader?!
trinque now goes to ./configure --help to recall teh lulz
trinque: gconf, gsettings, various image nonsense, pdf support, it goes on. ☟︎
asciilifeform: pdf?!
asciilifeform: i dun remember any of this liquishit in vanilla emacs
asciilifeform contemplates placing trb on ramdisk on this box
asciilifeform: it'd... fit.
asciilifeform: if the sync behaviour weren't so atrociously retarded, this'd be a pretty simple thing
asciilifeform: lost power ? whocares, wait 20-30hrs while thing resyncs from nearby box
asciilifeform: ( in yer own fleet, naturally )
BingoBoingo: No particular reason to care, but it's a detail to be noticed
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if it takes 6months to resync -- i care
asciilifeform: recall dulap-1 and its phuctor.
asciilifeform: if enemy can cost you 6months by pulling yer plug -- expect plug to be pulled. weekly.
asciilifeform: fact is, trb sync is ragingly retarded. as in , microshit-level.
asciilifeform: i literally couldn't think of a worse algo.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Was re http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754828 also a bit of awe there ☝︎

BingoBoingo: Not a very big space, not very big fans and yet...
BingoBoingo: impressive song
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.
BingoBoingo: What kind of shopvac? they happen on a spectrum
asciilifeform: the ordinary.
BingoBoingo: Ordinary as in...
BingoBoingo: 2, 4, 32 hp?
asciilifeform: 2
asciilifeform: !~calc 32*746
jhvh1: asciilifeform: 32*746 = 23872
asciilifeform: dat's a lotta watt
asciilifeform: where do i get 1 of these ? it eats wat, 3phase ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo had one ?
BingoBoingo did not have, but heard rumblings such exist for mega dust extraction systems
BingoBoingo: eats petrol

asciilifeform: how did anything invoking this proc, ever work ??!
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754912 << sorta-kinda on topic, i attempted a trb install in the field last week, was *thrilled* to discover curl doesn't ship with ubuntu 10.04 (?!) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 23:24 trinque: so now polishing and collecting *all* distfiles, will publish that when ready
hanbot: did a cursory look for republican utils package, found nothing, huffed off in frustration.
asciilifeform: pretty sure that mod6 hosts a curl, at trb www
asciilifeform: along with errything else
asciilifeform: ... hm, apparently not!
asciilifeform: with what do you intend to load it, tho, if lacking
asciilifeform: curl belongs on the boot cd
danielpbarron: i just ran into my gentoo usb iso thing not having 'man'
asciilifeform: btw some very large share of 'no can haz trb, plz help' in the logs to date, feature shituntu
asciilifeform: shituntu's place, is the oven.
mircea_popescu: get curl via wget lol
asciilifeform: i assumed it, too, grew legs and ran away
trinque: isn't bash capable of netcat-style networking these days?
trinque ducks
asciilifeform: lol
mircea_popescu: maybe it's a systemd clal.
asciilifeform: use the os in the intel nic.
mircea_popescu: FACTORY RESET
asciilifeform: ( laugh, but minix was recently found in the intel fritz thjng )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-20#1754963 << emacs has pdf support ?! ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-20 00:05 trinque: gconf, gsettings, various image nonsense, pdf support, it goes on.
asciilifeform: 1st time i heard of such a thing
mircea_popescu: wasn't it proprietary in the first place ?
asciilifeform: pdf on linuxen typically goes in massive, nominally open (openssl-style, i.e. wholly unreadable) pile of shit called 'ghostscript'
trinque: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Sound-Output.html << autism fungus *all through* emacs by now
mircea_popescu: so emacs has ghostscript ?!
asciilifeform: 'The sound must be stored as a file in RIFF-WAVE format (‘.wav’) or Sun Audio format (‘.au’).' << suggests vintage
asciilifeform: betcha that was an option for 20yrs nao
asciilifeform: when was last time you saw an au.
mircea_popescu: i never saw an au.
asciilifeform: i did. on a sun. in.. 2002?
mircea_popescu: who plays sounds on suns.
hanbot: anyway trinque looking forward to distfiles collection --i'll be switching over to gentoo from the ubuntu mess soon. i've been fucking around with it for far too long, as asciilifeform in other words ;p
asciilifeform: nobody afaik.
mircea_popescu: this item is a lot like a car lighter socket popcorn popper.
mircea_popescu: does 8-10 kernels.
asciilifeform: exactly same
danielpbarron: just noticed my stripped down gentoo has a shit load of web browsers in /usr/portage that i never told it to install. what's the deal with that?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: didja look in the stage3 ? were they in it ?
asciilifeform: or waiwat, in portage??
danielpbarron: ugh
trinque: portage is just the ebuilds, has everything.
asciilifeform: if its in portage, its a port, eh
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: has errrything under the sun
trinque: look in /var/lib/portage or w/e for your particular system state, if you want to inspect
trinque: world file in there for example
danielpbarron: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/CHYsA/?raw=true
asciilifeform: they're ports !!
asciilifeform: not installed proggies
danielpbarron: ah, well my very basic script is wasting time digesting them :/
trinque: what was the aim of the script?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: you surely know what are ports
danielpbarron: do not assume i know what i'm doing here lol
asciilifeform: ports, in gentoo world, are little scripts for building package
asciilifeform: there's one for every known 'gentootronic' item that one could build.
asciilifeform: they're what you get when you did emerge --sync
danielpbarron: the aim of my script is to install the base system from my own pre-downloaded files because the initial emerge @world barfs over conflicts that developed since the last time i used my recipe
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: plz post this barf if you still have it handy
asciilifeform: it will be of use
danielpbarron: i think it jammed at something-db
trinque: literally only thing necessary to make this happen is to fill /usr/portage/distfiles (or wherever you've declared distfiles to reside) is filled with what the ebuilds you use will demand.
trinque: analogous to trb deps folder
trinque: (there may be ebuilds out there that do not respect this, but they are sinful ebuilds)
trinque: you'll notice if you reinstall items, it's not downloading tarballs again; it's finding them in the distfiles folder.
danielpbarron: stage3 sounds like the problem here.
danielpbarron: sounds like a cancer actually
trinque: gonna be hard to say without knowing exactly what you were doing.
danielpbarron: i copied /usr/portage from my currently working machine to this laptop that's still chrooted from the usb booter, then ran a script that does: ebuild * digest where * is all *.ebuild in that directory
trinque: what was the aim there?
trinque: digest produces a new manifest of hashes for the distfiles mentioned in the ebuild
trinque: (iirc)
danielpbarron: after it's done i'm gonna do emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse @world
trinque: I dunno where you got the "digest" step; it's something you'd be doing when heavily modifying or producing own ebuilds
danielpbarron: that's how i got my specific kernel version into the recipe after they removed it from the official repository
trinque: ah. there's a mechanism for this that might be cleaner than editing the portage dir. I intend to use it in the cuntoo thing.
trinque: "portage overlay"
trinque: which obviously can be a v-tree of ebuilds.
hanbot: danielpbarron didja post somewhere about why you chose a kernel version not in repository?
trinque: as things get reposessed from the gentoo shitgnomes, can move their modified ebuilds from /usr/portage into /cuntoo or w/e
danielpbarron: hanbot, it used to be in the repository. they removed it after i published my recipe, not even a month later
trinque: anyhow running digest on every single ebuild just means you're rehashing all the files for each ebuild.
trinque: which doubtful they were all modified.
hanbot: hah wth
mircea_popescu: in other not-really-news, 1408 (cussack, jackson) isn't even that terrible.
danielpbarron: and i picked that particular version because it is the newest one that supported my video card
mircea_popescu: "stuck in room" flavour of horror.
hanbot: ah okay
danielpbarron: you liked 1408?? i don't like that guy
mircea_popescu: which one ?
danielpbarron: most cussack movies
mircea_popescu: he's a great actor imo ; but yes total pantsuitard, keeps doing idiotic scripts.
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder he and norton didn't end up married. he could have implanted all the tit fat they scooped out of angelina jolie and adopted a buncha west african urchins.
hanbot: predicting what movies mp'd like is a long hard road peppered with "oh come ON"s
mircea_popescu: now try predicting movies i'd like and hadn't already seen.
danielpbarron: i guess it's not the worst one. just a guy going crazy in a room. but still ends up having to do with trying to save a woman or something
mircea_popescu: notrly, he just dies.
mircea_popescu: it's not the usual "here's four dumb bitches on a TV show set" like that atrocity with johnny depp
danielpbarron: no idea what you mean there. i guess the only depp movie i saw was fear and loathing
mircea_popescu: what was it, somewhere in canada "old castle" of "vampires" which oddly consist of california feminist can't-shut-up zsa zsa gabors v2010.
danielpbarron: have you done a review of "no country for old men" yet? would very much like to read that
mircea_popescu: haven't, no.
hanbot: iirc he objected to the lack of trees in the landscape and said something about there not being any film for old men either and turned it off. but i could be misremembering...
danielpbarron: how about "cold in july"
mircea_popescu: hanbot wtf was the canada castle vampires atrocity ?
hanbot: i think that was some burton thing..."dark shadows"?
mircea_popescu: !~google dark shadows johnny depp
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Dark Shadows (film) - Wikipedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Shadows_(film)>; Dark Shadows (2012) - IMDb: <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1077368/>; Dark Shadows Trailer Official 2012 [1080 HD] - Johnny Depp ...: <https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DVIeN5Co3HDc>
mircea_popescu: yeah that thing
mircea_popescu: 10 minutes in, it's like "welcome to real la housewives VII"
mircea_popescu: oh, and the ATROCIOUS "computer enhanced" female actors. jesus god really, that untalented hack heathcote not only missed her only life's calling (which doubtlessly is playing the WAG for some retarded athletic team from aussieland) but actually looks like a whole filing cabinet's worth of anime fell on her ?
phf: i had a similar reaction to dark shadows, what a disappointment.
mircea_popescu: i was not inb the slightest appointed. i knew going in it's gonna be CGI-for-TV. with a cast of idiots...
mircea_popescu: in other isadumba heathcote highlights, "Christian and Ana decide to rekindle their relationship, except this time there are no more rules or punishments."
mircea_popescu: it's this very fucking thick vein of ustardian dumb, with "strong" women of a very peculiar chimp-like sort, and token "men". i suspect the whole thing is a continuation into a thin pretense of adulthood of some idiot girls' ken-and-barbie pubescent fantasies.
mircea_popescu: i mean... they played house since they were 5yo and mom bought them a cubic metre of plastic, HOW HARD COULD MOVIES BE
mircea_popescu: anyway. america pre trump.
hanbot: have you seen any post-trump movies?
mircea_popescu: usually films take 18ish months. too soon.
phf: my concern is post-trump their going to churn out stuff like dunkirk, men films about men bonding for men that are menly
asciilifeform: in other finds, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-11#1654585 >>>> 'make localmodconfig' actually does it. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-05-11 17:43 asciilifeform: trinque: i'm particularly curious re how you trimmed modules. many crapolade modules don't give any obvious indication that they are useless, there is no mechanism for generating a list of 'THESE we actually need, because of the installed iron, and these -- not'

asciilifeform: oh hah.
trinque: only way I ever make a kernel
asciilifeform: it does find a buncha spurious liquishit tho
asciilifeform: ( goes blindly by what's loaded, but not all mods actually abort if they dunfind the iron )
trinque: mhm, I don't think the menuconfig step can be avoided for a serious kernel.
trinque: still helps narrow the "what might be interesting" a bit
asciilifeform: oh yea no question of avoiding.

mircea_popescu: phf let's stick to factuals. 1. is groff or is groff not a "free and open" gnu theft of troff ; 2. was or was not groff a thinly veiled excuse by at&t coders who wanted a pdp to get it, because "they'll make a patents editing system" ? 3. did they or did they not simply copy roff, 1960s era item ?
mircea_popescu: and quite literally phototypesetter, at that.
asciilifeform: ( also i'm beginning to suspect that i'm doing this all wrong. prolly what oughta be done is to track down freebsd circa 2002 , ALL of the necessary pieces, and work from THAT . )
mircea_popescu: or else debian sarge.
asciilifeform: trickier, didn't iirc ship with 100% src
asciilifeform: and lacked anything like portage
mircea_popescu: no portage ; but yes srs
mircea_popescu: src*
asciilifeform: you gotta have a ~source~ dependencygraph.
trinque: here, I'll go ahead and post this early, if we're abandoning ship.
asciilifeform: or it ain't salvageable
mircea_popescu: unless you mean like drivers.
mircea_popescu: yeah well.
trinque: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/CtKMv/?raw=true << wip cuntoo script.
asciilifeform: a 2002 kernel will neither boot nor run on extant iron. but userland can and must.
trinque: lacks the whole reproductive bit
mircea_popescu: a 2012 kernel will not run 2002 userland.
phf: mircea_popescu: but the factuals are not necessarily under dispute (~soelim~ is not a phototypesetter is what i said). original hate was against "never seen this wrecker thing before", then when new fangled thing turned out to be an old tool, hate shifted to 1960 phototypesetters. methinks the point is a traveling one..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescuL then THAT's what needs doctoring
asciilifeform: ( i fully believe that it -- out of the box -- won't )
mircea_popescu: phf hate was re two things. a) i utterly failed to parse z(item) into (item) so hated ; and b) soelim was a dirty hack [atop a meanwhile pointless item].
asciilifeform: phf: i dun grasp why box needs troff.
asciilifeform: and why manpages ain't straight txt.
mircea_popescu: or straight latex
asciilifeform: troff, roff, groff, whatevertheeverlivignfuckroff.
mircea_popescu: fuck, they could be html and it'd be better than this nonsense.
trinque: gay latex is right out
asciilifeform: lol
phf: what trinque said, there's no "straight latex", it's 1.6gb of liquishit
asciilifeform: ^
mircea_popescu: ugh
asciilifeform: tho, sadly, 'small' by current liquishit standards
asciilifeform: ( and asciilifeform actually, shudder, ~uses~ latex )
mircea_popescu: so i go to argue the point, fall upon https://www.latex-project.org/news/2017/12/15/github-move/ "news"
phf: i've actually recently went through an exercise of trying to spin up knuth's plain tex as a standalone typesetting system. it's nearly impossible
asciilifeform: ahahahahaha
mircea_popescu: am like... mp, what are you doing ?
asciilifeform: phf: i also tried this, ~decade ago, quite impossible
asciilifeform: latex ate tex eons ago
asciilifeform: 'embrace & extend'
mircea_popescu: is the hate stirll travelling or is it merely a universe-zsized ball of hate ?
asciilifeform: zszszszs.
trinque: real quick, only serious thing missing from the cuntoo script is commanding lilo to ignore all devices but the target disk.
phf: mircea_popescu: well, ~i've~ found something to hate, so i joined the fray
mircea_popescu: and ftr, there's no excuse to EVEN HAVE soelim at all ; let alone as a standalone wtf
trinque: if anybody knows the answer to that riddle, the rest of the "reproduction" is trivial copying of files
mircea_popescu: trinque --ignore neh ?
trinque: (the other cut of the lilo thing is to simply say "thou shalt not have other drives plugged in when cuntoo is spawning)
trinque: mircea_popescu: ignore, but gotta do by device name, and per
mircea_popescu: tsk right you are
mircea_popescu: well, seems "the other cut" wins seeing how otherwise3 you gotta enum.
asciilifeform: trinque: you forgot to add net.ifnames=0 to kernel boot args
asciilifeform: to disable the infuriating 'let's rename eth0 to asjtghuidfjhiuorhjgr0 ' item
phf: mircea_popescu: well they've believed in the whole "single tool for a job" thing back then, and yes it was a hack (not in a sense that soelim is such a tool, but in a sense that tools that soelim is a glue between poorly designed tools)
asciilifeform: which is -- yes -- standard in kernel nao
trinque: asciilifeform: thought I touched something in there that does it
mircea_popescu: does gentoo bake dns into the kernel, debian style ?
trinque: maybe not
mircea_popescu: phf right.
trinque: ah the udev rules thing; asciilifeform's solution would be better
asciilifeform: it's sop on my boxen but i forgot to include it in my 2015 recipe
phf: plan9 rewrote their soelim as a shell script..
asciilifeform: how about it goes to oven. and the crapola that 'needs' it, also to oven.
asciilifeform: and what needs ~it~ -- also.
asciilifeform: and so on.
mircea_popescu: and then we can play golf.
mircea_popescu: cuz candy crush is right out!
asciilifeform: aztec golf. with heads.

phf: tinycc's maintainership. It has the tinycc.org domain, and Fabrice
phf: handed over the project, so it is the official final resting place of
phf: tcc. But it's still stagnant, because Fabrice put a Windows developer

phf: asciilifeform: you know after staring at a lot of bad c code and last two days worth of conversations, i don't think there's much wrong with sbcl, but then i haven't looked at sbcl code in about a year at this point. i think i was mostly objecting to overall trajectory of lisp ecosystem
asciilifeform: ah hm i thought it had 'progressed' into unusability recently
phf: but specifically it was small annoyances with "modern" enforcements. like style warnings, or my personal pet peeve, the fact that you can't shadow locked packages without having to unlock
phf: the awfully pedantic defconstant behavior (which sbcl specific, and which requires packages like alexandria to have asinine define-constant, which for all practical purposes is what defconstant is supposed to be)
phf: the fact that character type is not dynamic (which to be fair is the property of all free lisps for some reason), so if you're dealing with text, you're forced into 32byte per character nonsense ☟︎
phf: the fact that macro evaluator inlines both compiled and non-compiled macros, which means that you have to manual track macro dependency and tediously reevaluate even when working in an interactive environment ☟︎
phf: i think naggum has a rant about the last one
asciilifeform: the existence of the compiler seems to be ~the~ fountain of braindamage for pc lisps
phf: none of these are properties of sbcl past certain vintage though though, sbcl is already a modernization of common lisp

a111: Logged on 2017-12-10 15:41 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-10#1749266 << asciilifeform has been chewing on this conundrum for a while. the inevitable pill is a minimal ( see also e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-12#1736844 ) but reasonable microscopic interpreter ( likely schemelike ) in asm; and from it, to climb back up.
asciilifeform: the wedge between cpu and ram clocks today would , i suspect, wipe out the performance difference for most problems
phf: cmucl fwiw was designed like a lisp machine (though it had damage done to it by modernizers already), where the evaluator + vops was you primary interaction mode, and compilation was a way to evaluate a piece of code to a vop like status
asciilifeform: ( b/w a fits-in-cache interpreter, and sbcl's compiler )
asciilifeform: no 'status' of code. tinyscheme-like representation.
asciilifeform: no emission of x86olade at runtime.
phf: and vops in turn were an equivalent of a lisp machine microcode

a111: Logged on 2017-01-19 17:38 asciilifeform: also (and iirc i discussed this on my www at one point) the correct approach is to ditch the native compiler, in favour of the interpreter, hand-compiled to fit in L0 cache

asciilifeform: trinque: is 'character' concept built in ? if yes, then you have what we have
asciilifeform: if not, then neither can you have a notion of 'string'
asciilifeform: nor tty
phf: trinque: ccl used to do it that way actually, interested parties might want to poach that code. they call the concept Rune and it's basically a way to support orcograms in a 8bit lisp
trinque: you'll have to justify why those need orcograms

asciilifeform: trinque: any kind of string
trinque: I wasn't, so I'll let you continue on that

asciilifeform: rather than in favour of 256bit or whatever chars.

phf: source reading can be a preprocessor stage (which is a lot saner to do in common lisp than elsewhere), this is also how traditional tex handles orclangs, before xetex and luatex and such. special ascii sequences to represent local lang glyphs and if you don't want to write those by hand, you use (or write) a tool that takes a local encoded document and translates it into ascii
mircea_popescu: aha.
asciilifeform: this is pretty good imho idea
asciilifeform: i can't think of any serious minus, in fact
phf: fwiw bulk of these tools have been written through the 90s and what was worthwhile from orcland was published that way then. until silent takeover by latex & 1.8gb tex installations happened and none of these tricks work anymore (because the necessary hooks are so deep within the layer of cruft it's near impossible to get to them, and one way they did it is through standard file system lay out, that requires a chain of compilation stages to move files
