09:45 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-10 11:46:34 shinohai: lmfao running own server was prolly one of the first things I WANTED TO DO.

13:27 cgra http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-10#1072275 << what kind of towers are these? or otherwise care to elaborate to a noob how to estimate when the cash will be gone?
13:27 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-10 18:19:18 asciilifeform: will stamp it out when the mind control towers properly debugged & online
13:35 asciilifeform cgra: humorous reference to ancient meme. but at same time reich ~wishes~ it had such a thing, no doubt
13:37 cgra asciilifeform: a finnish plebe is all for e-payment convenience, keeps me wondering how is cash still around
13:38 * cgra cgra no doubt himself such a plebe, can't remember when the last time handled a significant amount of cash
13:38 asciilifeform cgra: nobody's in fact abolishing cash, it's an 'unprincipled exception' quite necessary for the reich to function, and attempts to phase it out give similar result to hruschev's idiocy
13:38 dulapbot Logged on 2020-05-05 20:08:53 asciilifeform: hrusch cancelled it.
13:38 asciilifeform cgra: fact is, not even a sidewalk in usa gets paved w/out a bag of cash to mexicans.
13:40 asciilifeform (historical ref: hruschev -- unlike stalin -- actually tried to enforce laws against small-time traders. then fucked the currency, and enforced laws against use of foreign currency)
13:41 asciilifeform if usd no longer came in paper, mexicans will be paid in, dunno, swiss franks.
13:41 * asciilifeform recalls father counting deutschmarks in 1991
13:42 cgra heh
13:48 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072298 << just last wk in fact
13:48 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-11 08:30:00 cgra: cgra no doubt himself such a plebe, can't remember when the last time handled a significant amount of cash
13:48 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-10 18:18:29 asciilifeform: needed several, bought'em all for cash from humans
13:48 asciilifeform but not often, no
13:49 cgra right
13:50 * cgra slowly recalled using cash for buying a car some 10y ago
13:53 asciilifeform presently electric usd is convertible to paper. for simple reason that good % of physically necessary economic activity happens and will continue to happen outside of Official books. if paper usd were not available, it will happen in a foreign fiatola and the pretense of a 1:1 exch rate will evaporate, disrupting biz-as-usual
13:53 dulapbot Logged on 2020-11-02 15:33:53 asciilifeform: all the current slave empires have exactly 1 strategic objective : 'business-as-usual'. ad infinitum.
13:55 asciilifeform ( note that in reverse direction, not so 'freely' convertible )
13:55 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-31 18:47:37 asciilifeform: people who routinely need to convert 100+k of usd to/from benjie to/from electrical -- in practice pay considerable premium.

14:02 cgra i vaguely remember talks about cash deposits in finland that some new questionnaire were implemented in recent years. granpa deposits 50€ and now cashier responds with a request to explain origin
14:03 asciilifeform cgra: in usa slightly differently
14:03 dulapbot Logged on 2021-07-07 15:40:04 asciilifeform: mats: iirc (ianal) in usa mandatory report threshhold is 1-2k$
14:03 dulapbot Logged on 2021-07-07 15:40:29 asciilifeform: (and there's a hilarious -- from safe distance -- article in the penal code for merely knowing about it and 'structuring to avoid' )
14:03 cgra maybe should try myself one time, for kicks
14:05 asciilifeform ( the usa flavour of financial fascism is for bank to quietly rat out yer deposits and tally up 'tax liability' and then if haven't paid what they decide you owed, send you a bill + fines + interest yrs later )
14:06 cgra right
14:06 asciilifeform ( see also. this worx out to much higher rake for'em, obv. )
14:06 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-10 13:15:34 asciilifeform: when you get a lump of usd from an official (e.g. gox) org, they generate a 'this fella owes' event in usg record. ~loss~ (i.e. rebuying same coin) generates no similar automatic subtraction.
14:08 asciilifeform is in fact why erry coupla yrs politicians introduce proposal to optimize tax collection, making it moar similar to e.g. ru's, and proposal is invariably torpedoed from above by lizards
14:09 asciilifeform i.e. is deliberately inefficient, and there is quite deliberately no deterministic method to actually guarantee that you paid 100% of what's Officially req'd
14:09 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-10 13:27:49 asciilifeform: other thing is that in current-day usa the path from 'gox made you a 1099' to collections takes 4-5y
14:10 asciilifeform the fines/interest are an unknown but likely quite substantial % of usg revenue.
14:11 asciilifeform and the many loopholes are quite effective subsidies to lizard and sublizard castes.
14:11 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-25 14:44:10 asciilifeform: re 'holes' -- they work only for the enemy. (i.e the people for whom you are even being taxed to begin with)
14:17 asciilifeform incidentally worth noting that reich doesn't tax 'so that it has money', almost errything it spends comes directly from 'printer'. it taxes to keep a lid on demand pressure from plebes
14:17 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-10 13:54:58 mats: there'd be less consumption if people were more poor
14:17 dulapbot Logged on 2021-12-30 11:21:25 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-12-30#1070359 << quite conceivably tru re desk-fliers; otoh asciilifeform lives in a 'working class' neighborhood and was able to see with naked eye a # of new autos appearing erry time that printer went brr
14:19 asciilifeform (and, less obviously, to force folx to borrow at interest to meet basic needs, e.g. housing; to prevent accumulation of savings; etc)
14:25 asciilifeform ( see also re: how lizards see plebes and their consumption )
14:25 dulapbot (trilema) 2017-02-19 mircea_popescu: (the source was 80s dispute wrt to general public's apparent bottomless appetite for purchasing luxury goods -- in eastern communism this includes meat, washing machines, electricity, etc -- for which they won't even have the fucking decency to pay in hard currency, but aim to use the worthless reminbo internal scrip)
14:26 asciilifeform 'if we don't tax you for 2-3 yrs you'll simply try to buy 5 toyotas and then whine re toyota shortage'
14:27 asciilifeform ( this is even superficially factual apparently )
14:27 dulapbot Logged on 2021-12-30 07:40:52 asciilifeform: sad235szd: in usa, they recently sent coupla $k to ~erryone 'for phree' ('stimulus'). all it did was create an auto shortage, morons immediately used the cheques as down-payments for auto loans

16:15 asciilifeform wb pete_rizzo_
16:15 pete_rizzo_ Thanks sir. Had a few things going to end the year. Plugging back in :)
16:16 asciilifeform pete_rizzo_: the logs await.
16:17 asciilifeform pete_rizzo_: + plenty of action on pestnet.
16:18 pete_rizzo_ getting some help from fluffypony on downloading http://thebitcoin.foundation/trb-howto.html so I can play around with it
16:20 asciilifeform very peculiar choice of whom to ask for this help, pete_rizzo_
16:20 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-03 13:53:41 asciilifeform: anyways the arrest of the monero derp is not simply to refill the waterfall. but also to boost 'cred' of that particular, and other, 'privacy'(tm)-flavoured shitcoins.
16:21 asciilifeform pete_rizzo_: could've asked just about anyone here, all the folx actually involved in trb are right here.
16:21 pete_rizzo_ ah is it? I know he was a friendly for a while and he's helped me with my technical requests in the past.
16:21 pete_rizzo_ He also has a lot of time now...
16:21 pete_rizzo_ I'm also sometimes embarassingly non-technical
16:22 pete_rizzo_ nice to know you guys can help :) sometimes asking is the hard part!
16:23 asciilifeform pete_rizzo_: btw the trb www currently visible is a stale copy. asciilifeform has taken over as tbf www keeper but not had chance to stand up fresh one just yet
16:23 dulapbot Logged on 2021-11-10 22:33:43 asciilifeform: !!deed http://www.loper-os.org/pub/trb/trb_change_of_guard.txt
16:23 asciilifeform gotta move the old material ( the ml most importantly ) and emplace recent patches
16:24 dulapbot Logged on 2020-02-27 10:44:22 asciilifeform: attn trb operators: 205.134.172.27 is nao running mod6's latest variant, augmented with this experimental patch (my sig thereof ) .
16:25 asciilifeform pete_rizzo_: cgra is doing some quite important trb work presently. betcha he'd be happy to help you stand up a noad.
16:26 asciilifeform (or ask e.g. shinohai)
16:27 asciilifeform it boggles my mind that pete_rizzo_ would rather instead ask a fella primarily famous for pushing a faux-'privacy'-flavoured shitcoin (and -- allegedly -- robbing a fucking bakery!)
16:27 asciilifeform ( who on top of it all had 0 at any pt to do w/ trb )
16:28 asciilifeform 'i need a refrigeration consultant' 'i know, ask jeffrey dahmer'
16:29 pete_rizzo_ lol well wasn't really chosen for his expertise with TRB. just someone who knows i'm not super technical and figured could set up an instance i could try to transact with, etc
16:30 pete_rizzo_ i have never even downloaded bitcoin core myself (only seen it done), so i found the TBF instructions intimidating
16:30 asciilifeform at the risk of repeating self -- wainot ask here. 100% of the folx qualified to answer afaik are right here.
16:31 asciilifeform and yes i expect it's intimidating to nontechnical. trb is quite deliberately ~not~ distributed as binariolade
16:31 pete_rizzo_ just always feels awkward admitting you don't know how to do things. And I'm familiar with Mircea's view that this is what makes me a slave/serf :)
16:31 asciilifeform (not available for e.g. mswin, nor crapple, and won't be for as long as asciilifeform has anyffin to do with it)
16:31 pete_rizzo_ yeah also both my computers are apple...
16:32 asciilifeform iirc there were attempts at 'unofficial' crapple port (phf?) but attempter broke teeth
16:32 pete_rizzo_ so acknowledgement of my slavery
16:32 asciilifeform a trb running on a closed shitware os is a health hazard
16:32 asciilifeform 'danger to self & others'
16:33 asciilifeform pete_rizzo_: if you have access to a reasonable linux box (64bit, w/ half TB of disk at least) asciilifeform et al will defo help you in building a working trb.
16:34 pete_rizzo_ noted :)
16:35 asciilifeform pete_rizzo_: unrelatedly , have you been following the pest worx ?
16:37 shinohai http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072377 <<< As a mercenary, if you got the coin I'll non-tech walk you through about anything, even connecting bluetooth dildos to apps thousands of miles away.
16:37 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-11 11:17:57 asciilifeform: (or ask e.g. shinohai)
16:38 asciilifeform shinohai: i expect he'll need a working trb before can pay for yer landsknecht services, lol
16:40 billymg pete_rizzo_: can put linux on your crapple box too: https://vitobotta.com/2016/10/10/install-gentoo-on-macbook-pro/ (just the first link that turned up, author seems to have gotten it to work, no idea how useful the guide actually is)
16:40 shinohai Hey I can even accept "lightning btc" now! I tend to sweep ~$100/mo to trb addy in "tips" from doing quick debugging, etc with folks on telegram.
16:41 asciilifeform billymg: in asciilifeform's experience (discounting 10+y vintage boxen) generally not worth effort, all kindsa periphs dunwork
16:42 pete_rizzo_ shinohai you can receive lightning txs with TRB?
16:43 billymg asciilifeform: ah, yeah, he mentioned something at the end about proprietary drivers from some components, but figured trb doesn't need the gpu or anything (and can do this as a dual boot setup)
16:43 asciilifeform pete_rizzo_: lolno. but shinohai runs a shitcoin-recycling sideline iirc
16:43 pete_rizzo_ right that didn't make much sense to me as TRB doesn't recognize segwit
16:44 billymg shinohai: did you stand up your own lightning node btw? i was about to embark on this
16:44 bitbot (pest) 2022-01-07 billymg: i've been meaning to set up a lightning node in order to see what it's like but haven't gotten around to it yet. i have a synced prb ready to go for that purpose, maybe i'll move it up the priority list so i can make a trip down the coast to check this out
16:44 shinohai pete_rizzo_: Most of these let you withdraw funds from a "channel" to a on-chain addy.
16:45 pete_rizzo_ i see, so you just use a core client to do lightning, then withdraw to the TRB client?
16:46 shinohai billymg: I toyed with c-lightning a bit, but too much fussing about to run for me. Easier to just keep funds stored in proper addy.
16:47 billymg right right, i meant only for the times when you do have to touch lightning, whether you do that through own lightning node and channel, or can't be bothered
16:47 shinohai pete_rizzo_: Don't even need core or anything. For instance "Wallet of satoshi" let's you scan a qr code and withdraw finds to whatever wallet you wish (if valid bitcoin addy)
16:47 billymg shinohai: btw i'm checking my peering info that i last sent you for pest, looks like i might've sent my irc port rather than the udp
16:47 billymg gonna send fresh info in a sec
16:48 shinohai billymg: ack, was actually gonna get with you re: pest today, since I think yer one of the last few folx I haven't properly peered to.
16:48 pete_rizzo_ Thanks. This is interesting to me, as it gets to the questions I was interested in re: running a node. What is the advantage of running TRB (what does it do/not do as opposed to core) and how does it interact with the clients running core
16:50 shinohai AT any rate, I view lightning BTC as simply "db coin" since 99% of time is held in custodial service - I only breathe sigh of relief when it is back on-chain as should be.
16:50 billymg shinohai: updated the info with correct port and new key: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=jyZK
16:50 asciilifeform pete_rizzo_: this'd be the most immediate and easiest to describe advantage of trb. (there are others, e.g. the fact that it's a coupla 100 kB of src, and not fuckknowshowmany MB of the prb liquishit)
16:50 dulapbot Logged on 2021-10-11 20:21:45 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-10-11#1061087 << trb 100% ignores all liquishit 'added' to the protocol by the nsa wreckers (gavin, hearn, et al.) and this is exactly how it oughta be. if it 'happened' after 2014, 100% pissed on.
16:51 asciilifeform pete_rizzo_: other advantages include that you can see exhaustive map of who touched it, where, and when.
16:52 asciilifeform cuz vtree.
16:53 asciilifeform ( 0 shithub in the mix, imho a quite substantial win )
16:53 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-09 18:38:39 asciilifeform: i.e. in fact microshit confirmed the imho obvious state of affairs re ownership of shithub-hosted liquishit
17:00 whaack http://logs.bitdash.io/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072415 <<-- when the miners decide to take the segwit coins trb will likely be the only type of node tracking the actual bitcoin chain.

17:01 billymg sorry, i just changed my system time by 8 minutes, looks like it crashed the bot
17:02 billymg ah, not crashed, just disconnected: "INFO Exceeded 180 seconds of silence from server: disconnecting!"

17:17 gregory5 http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-10#1072225 << what were they trying to cover up? do you have any theories?
17:17 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-10 15:41:07 asciilifeform: r. hess for instance sat incommunicado '45--'87, but near his 'suicide' did, supposedly, get a coupla letters out via a priest.
17:19 asciilifeform gregory5: there's a traditional theory, widely discussed
17:19 asciilifeform ( duke of hamilton et al as prospective quislings)
17:20 gregory5 so Hess had information about upper-class British people who were secretly pro-Nazi?
17:20 asciilifeform ( Official brit history claims that hess never even got chance to speak w/ the quislings , and that whole thing was a ploy by brit intel to lure him in )
17:21 asciilifeform gregory5: not simply 'secretly pro' but actively attempting to quisle
17:21 gregory5 http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072435 << so they wanted to overthrow Churchill? or was Churchill in on the plot?
17:21 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-11 12:21:09 asciilifeform: gregory5: not simply 'secretly pro' but actively attempting to quisle
17:22 asciilifeform convert or overthrow, take yer pick
17:22 asciilifeform the continued seekrecy of ~all brit material on the subj imho speaks volumes.
17:23 asciilifeform the 'what was hess doing' wank has been ongoing for 70+y and unlikely to resolve, the 'smoking guns' have not leaked.
17:24 gregory5 I only became aware of Hess mystery because of article on globalresearch.ca written by Sylvain LaForest.
17:25 asciilifeform it'll be filed by archaelogists in same file as e.g. 'was napoleon poisoned'
17:26 asciilifeform hess wank rather invites itself -- e.g. why was imprisoned long after far 'guiltier' colleagues let go; why guarded like swiss gold; why 'hanged self' on, supposedly, lamp cord, while factually barely able to walk
17:27 gregory5 LaForest claims that Americans secretly betrayed UK and tried to help Nazis. Hess was sent to expose betrayal, and offer alliance with UK against Americans.
17:28 asciilifeform doesn't make surface sense ( 'they betrayed you to us, so ally with us' ? )
17:29 asciilifeform btw Official story of (ex)sov intel was that hess was ordered concretely by hitler to feign insanity if fails
17:29 gregory5 asciilifeform: LaForest is also proponent of idea that, prior to USSR turning the tide at Stalingrad, USA and UK were not committed to fighting Nazis.
17:29 asciilifeform noshit
17:29 gregory5 USA and UK waited to see which side would win in Stalingrad.
17:30 gregory5 so I imagine you agree with that view?
17:30 asciilifeform entirely
17:30 asciilifeform not to mention that hitler was a creature of us/uk lizards to start with
17:30 asciilifeform 'bulwark against communism'(tm)(r)
17:30 asciilifeform then 'ohnoez our creature escaped his zoo'
17:32 gregory5 http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072443 << that explains a lot.

17:32 gregory5 http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072454 << as does this narrative.
17:32 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-11 12:30:47 asciilifeform: then 'ohnoez our creature escaped his zoo'
~ 28 minutes ~
18:01 asciilifeform gregory5: the evidence in favour of this narrative (incidentally the traditional su version) is imho overwhelming (consider munich, at which time the ~french police force~ could've easily sufficed to defeat germany..) but traditionally 'unhappened' in the west reich

18:52 cgra pete_rizzo_: on a quick glance at the trb build instructions to refresh my memory -- if you find a playground linux with the required versions of gcc, g++ and gnupg as default, it helps. other people may have noob distro suggestions, while i happened to work on ubuntu 16.04 (not endorsing), which defaulted to wrong gcc/g++ (version 5).
18:52 cgra pete_rizzo_: and the ada gnat mentioned is a separate src package, don't use whatever is found from distros' own repositories, might cause headaches. did asciilifeform have a mirror?
18:55 gregory5 http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072459 << I am glad to learn.
18:55 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-11 13:01:22 asciilifeform: gregory5: the evidence in favour of this narrative (incidentally the traditional su version) is imho overwhelming (consider munich, at which time the ~french police force~ could've easily sufficed to defeat germany..) but traditionally 'unhappened' in the west reich
18:56 gregory5 I have a suggested revision to the draft of Pest.
18:56 gregory5 Setion 2.5.2. Control Commmands
18:56 gregory5 strike the word "irregardless," replace with "irrespective."
18:57 gregory5 ** Section 2.5.2.
18:59 whaack cgra: how goes it, have you had a chance to connect to pestnet yet?
19:01 cgra whaack: i found new steam to chew on trb, so chose that for now
19:01 whaack also pete_rizzo_: if you're serious about getting up a trb node, i recommend renting a server, it's just a pain in the ass to get running on local iron, it also takes MONTHS to sync, you may need to use some sort of technique like i did to get yourself unstuck: http://ztkfg.com/2021/01/restart-trb/
19:02 whaack cgra: nice, that's certainly a higher priority heh
19:04 whaack cgra: looks like you have some good work up on your blog, i will take a look soon, out of curiosity, do you think you could wipe out all the trb nodes with your current findings if you tried?
19:08 cgra whaack: yeah possibly. unless nodes have >100GB ram/swap or so
19:08 verisimilitude It's certainly interesting to live around others and occassionally recall that they believe in historical events which clearly didn't happen.
19:08 whaack interesting is one word
19:08 verisimilitude I'm disillusioned with history.
19:08 cgra whaack: that restart loop at least mitigates the issue
19:10 whaack verisimilitude: obligatory loper-os article
19:12 whaack cgra: i don't currently run my restart loop, i got my node into a 'dont fix what aint broken' state
19:12 whaack it's been running smoothly for months
19:12 whaack just like my car, life is good!
19:14 verisimilitude As a spectre of works to come, I expect to be reillusioned with history somewhat, soon enough.
19:14 verisimilitude I expect to do this by reading ancient stories, which I expect will hold more truth than what passes for history.
19:15 verisimilitude It should be easy to treat tales such as that of Icarus' flight as more true than the twentieth century.
19:19 verisimilitude I don't know whether Icarus actually flew, but I know some of my history lessons were total lies.
19:24 shinohai Depends on how much LSD the modern Icarus takes if he flies or not.
19:33 cgra whaack: meant a restart loop that would restart only on crash (asciilifeform suggested sometime earlier)
19:37 whaack cgra: ah ok
19:39 verisimilitude So many of the nice words I use are truly Latin.
19:39 verisimilitude What's the Latin word for ``violent'' but VIOLENS.
~ 2 hours 27 minutes ~
22:07 asciilifeform meanwhile (possibly for billymg to play with...) baked a simple icon for pestism to use on asciilifeform's www sidebar. billymg et al feel free to fiddle with it if you have time, propose changes.
22:10 asciilifeform (a 250px-wide bitmap for folx w/out svg browser.)
~ 37 minutes ~
22:47 billymg asciilifeform: looks sort of early/mid 90s, which is a style that's in right now among the hipster designers
22:48 billymg have you considered domain names for a marketing page? at one point i looked for a place to park http://pest.bitdash.io/ and mentally made a short list but never wrote them down, would have to search again
22:49 billymg all sorts of random TLDs these days to choose from
22:49 asciilifeform billymg: asciilifeform admits he did not spend very much time fiddling w/ it. was rather impromptu thing
22:50 asciilifeform billymg: have not even baked separate www for pestism ; appreciates billymg's mirror tho
22:50 asciilifeform billymg: feel free to expand on it, attach exotic dnsisms, etc. if find this kinda thing stimulating.
22:52 billymg asciilifeform: i like that http://therealbitcoin.org/ (or http://thebitcoin.foundation/) exists, was thinking Pest deserves something like that as well
22:52 asciilifeform prolly
22:52 asciilifeform simply haven't prioritized the propaganda effort to date
22:52 asciilifeform billymg et al welcome to try tho
22:52 billymg it's on my list somewhere
22:53 * asciilifeform so far moar concerned w/ 100% correctly design of pest than w/ how many or whether even any heathens try to use
22:53 billymg yeah, absolutely, at the moment the marketing component is pretty low priority
22:53 asciilifeform decided tho that gotta have a 2nd lolcat to go under the ffa one, on asciilifeform's www...
22:53 asciilifeform hence wai baked icon.
22:53 billymg haha, nice
22:55 billymg i like that you did it, provides some good inspiration
22:55 asciilifeform why ty.
22:57 * asciilifeform encourages folx who dun find the pic unendurably fugly to use on own www for linkage
22:57 asciilifeform use the svg to scale rather than the png.
22:58 asciilifeform (convert w/ e.g. 'gimp' afterwards)
22:58 * asciilifeform will add the svg to the genesis, given as it's a text format
22:59 asciilifeform well to the vtree, rather
23:09 billymg http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072494 << e.g. stuff like this
23:09 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-11 17:47:28 billymg: asciilifeform: looks sort of early/mid 90s, which is a style that's in right now among the hipster designers
23:10 * asciilifeform wipes blood from eyes lol
23:11 billymg ikr, fucking zoomers
23:11 * asciilifeform had nfi, not follows 'world of art'...
23:11 billymg possible though to take elements of a trend and use to your own taste
23:12 billymg in order to get something that's aesthetically pleasing, something that you like, and also looks "current"
23:12 asciilifeform possible. asciilifeform simply twiddled knobs moar or less at random until got tired tho
23:12 asciilifeform had nfi 'looked current'. tho i suppose doesn't hurt
23:19 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072462 << subj
23:19 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-11 13:52:56 cgra: pete_rizzo_: and the ada gnat mentioned is a separate src package, don't use whatever is found from distros' own repositories, might cause headaches. did asciilifeform have a mirror?
23:20 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072474 << hm wai would it matter just how much ram? a leak is a leak neh
23:20 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-11 14:08:12 cgra: whaack: yeah possibly. unless nodes have >100GB ram/swap or so
23:20 asciilifeform eventually 'all leaks out'
23:22 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072485 << pretty much anyone who aint fucked in the head would rather read about icarus than e.g. nyt. thing is , actual history aint 100% unavailable, simply requires effort (in particular -- for engl. victims -- to learn langs != engl. )
23:22 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-11 14:15:55 verisimilitude: It should be easy to treat tales such as that of Icarus' flight as more true than the twentieth century.
23:23 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-11#1072480 << asciilifeform doesn't currently have the loop on either noad , because wants to know if it fell. ~but~ a loop that properly logs proximate cause of death (and a coupla thou. preceding ln of debug.log) ~would~ be useful, and would run that
23:24 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-11 14:12:36 whaack: cgra: i don't currently run my restart loop, i got my node into a 'dont fix what aint broken' state
23:24 asciilifeform simply not had time to bake w/ own hands just yet
23:26 asciilifeform while on subj, if had a sane db in trb in place of the current liquishit, could ~snapshot~, and make for ~instant bootup
23:26 dulapbot Logged on 2021-11-11 22:31:08 asciilifeform: imho it is however entirely possible to transplant a sane db in place of bdb.
23:26 asciilifeform would be quite handy from pov of autoresetting noades.
23:28 asciilifeform a resetter which'd trigger if e.g. no blox ACCEPTed in past H hours would be quite handy as well.
23:28 asciilifeform (wedge detector)
23:29 asciilifeform (iirc at least 1 of cgra's findings was a wedge w/out necessarily oom death)
23:29 asciilifeform !q seen BingoBoingo
23:29 dulapbot BingoBoingo last seen here on 2021-12-25 12:57:26: Merry Christmas
23:30 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: lemme know when yer ready to stand up a pest station, i'ma send you a key
23:31 asciilifeform ditto mats and the other folx who afaik dun have 1 yet
23:32 * asciilifeform expects that after coupla bugfixes, the conversation will largely move to pestnet
23:34 asciilifeform and in particular, the next time the dc folx trip over the main breaker like in dec. of '20, pestnet is what'll be standing and dulapnet awol
23:34 asciilifeform !q uptime
23:34 dulapbot asciilifeform: time since my last reconnect : 209d 19h 31m
23:35 asciilifeform ( the zero outage 2021 is great but such luck dun last 4evah )
23:46 asciilifeform aaand when we have 'getdata', the holes in the loggers' logs will finally vanish for good.
23:48 * asciilifeform looks fwd, in particular, to threading, but that's a ways off
23:48 dulapbot Logged on 2022-01-06 20:53:47 asciilifeform: signpost: various heathen chatrons support threading; asciilifeform noticed early on that we get it 'for phree' simply by having the netchain thing
