asciilifeform intends to stand up a pestlogger on dulap as soon as we have a pestron w/ 'getdata'. until then the log is gonna end up fulla holes and frustrating.

02:46

(tho billymg's is useful; but often enuff pest convs fall through on acct of bot hiccup)

02:47

and imho loggers oughta peer with as many folx on pestnet as can be mustered, for max robustness

02:48

and -- the moar loggers on a pestnet, the merrier, obv.

02:48

that is, for a 'public' pestnet. can picture use cases for other kinds, but no personal plans to operate such

Perhaps the road from Beijing to Moscow is more viable to transit if the Kazak people subsidise the fuel.

whaack: does that thing currently eat blox strictly, or also mempoolisms?

16:08

just blocks, and it stays 2 blocks behind

16:08

a

16:08

but adding mempoolisms is a top priority

16:08

would be handy, imho

16:09

because when you use a block explorer in practice, much of the time you want to look to check that a new txn is floating in the mempool

16:09

*

asciilifeform recalls over9000 'hey folx is this in yer mempools or did it go to devnull?' thrds

16:11

i think that a good short term solution is just to make sure that the blockexplorer has its own local mempool and it reliably is able to send anything in that mempool to the miners to get mined

16:11

idk if i really want to be storing the cespool of bitcoin "wheres the signature?" 2.0 txns

16:11

iirc it rides on a stock trb, neh

16:11

yes

16:12

so i'd expect worx in that respect

16:12

maybe, i recall trying to send a txn once with it and it did not work

16:13

there's also the problem of getting a false thumbs up on certain transactions with the high-s signature, which is not going to actually be broadcasted to the network

16:13

whaack: all the cases to date of this on asciilifeform's desk were traceable to fughetting fee knob

16:13

err not actually going to be accepterd to the network

16:13

well, and that (the S thing was fixed by mod6 yrs ago tho)

16:14

!q seen-anywhere mod6

16:14

mod6 last seen in #asciilifeform on 2021-11-10 13:05:58: Thanks for the warm welcome in here. I'll hang out, will check back periodically, ofc.

16:14

ah okay , i have a trb pressed to a recent patch on phf's thing, so i probably do have that included then

16:14

there's quite a lot to do re: trb, sadly asciilifeform currently hasn't time to do ~any of it

16:19

asciilifeform arguably aint world-class trb tester at least on acct of the fact that he routinely goes for yr+ b/w actually tx'ing

billymg: what new reconnect logic did it need? (iirc was based on asciilifeform's logotron which had already reconnect logic, neh?)

~ 46 minutes ~

20:53

asciilifeform: db reconnect

20:55

mine would sometimes lose its connection to postgres. the bot would stay connected to irc, never an issue there, but all loglines after the severed db connection would just go to /dev/null

20:57

original thread here, which is what prompted me to want to upgrade the box

20:57

Logged on 2021-09-17 14:44:45 asciilifeform: billymg: i strongly suspect your proggy is closing it (on, e.g. timeouts or whatever externally-induced eggog) and not reopening

Logged on 2021-10-02 19:40:57 billymg: asciilifeform: rack service inquiry for whenever you have a chance to read

billymg: i haven't heard from 'customer A' btw. (emailed him, and giving him the customary month to wake up...)

asciilifeform: nice!

ty customer A

asciilifeform still hoaping to get hold of that ram

21:33

billymg: the pg thing is interesting; when asciilifeform operated logotron on rk, never saw it drop. then again likely the loads are rather different

21:43

yeah, it's on the same box as the crawler, so that could have something to do with it

21:43

entirely possib

21:44

i increased pg's ram allocation, currently the system runs with about 20-25% ram free, so i could allocate a bit more

21:44

billymg: worth a shot, will be valuable info for other rk folx

signpost

http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-07-03#1015791 << why pass the entire search result to emacs, rather than w/e will fit in the completion window?

21:47

Logged on 2020-07-03 19:27:09 asciilifeform: apparently such proggy can only be written if write 100% of graphics stack (incl. font renderer) from 0. as in e.g. emacs (before anyone asks, i ~specifically~ did not and still do not want this kinda thing as elisp progggy -- it'll 100% guaranteed choke on 200MB+ of indexable db.. )

21:54

*

signpost actually needs a sane one of these for note-taking for another commercial project, might bother to write a wartime one that indeed compromises and uses emacs for UI, as pest punted UI to IRC (sensibly imho)

21:59

signpost: i experimented w/ using emacs for this, found the lag (for heavy ops e.g. populating the completer box, and esp. for highlighting large buffer after erry keypress) intolerable

21:59

doesn't mean that signpost would necessarily find it so, esp. if he has substantially moar recent irons, say

22:00

*

asciilifeform regularly inhabits not-so-recent irons, e.g. kgpe-d16 opterons, x60 lappy, similar

22:00

Logged on 2020-12-21 19:54:39 asciilifeform: will prolly try the infamous kdpe-d16 next. this an' the other one, were the last 2 opteron+ecc mobos before the great fritzchipping.

22:02

it may also be possible to massage cycles -- e.g. somehow make the highlighter suck less so only touches what's visible + a screenfull in either direction

22:04

*

asciilifeform finds that for 100% 'flow', the contents of screen must be 100% correct after ~any~ keypress. folx who do not, may be able to tolerate less cpu-intensive variant

22:05

emacs is prolly the only extant sow's ear from which one could sew even a half-way simulacrum of this silk purse. asciilifeform however was not satisfied with his attempts, ftr

23:16

signpost

yeah, certainly wont be optimal.

~ 31 minutes ~

23:47

signpost: 1 approach, rather 'rube goldberg' but sometimes working, asciilifeform has seen w/ emacsism, is 'slime'-style 'language server' process to which cpu-heavy liquishit is offloaded, w/ emacs used strictly as i/o layer

23:48

*

asciilifeform currently working on a commercial horror that includes 1 of these

23:49

when used w/ 1 of these, emacs simply listens on a socket and puts the letters where it is told to, sends keystrokes back to $process, etc
