01:03 asciilifeform in other finds: finally turned up example of direct socket x11ism (other than the monstrously bloated clx)
~ 8 hours 56 minutes ~
09:59 asciilifeform $ticker btc usd
10:00 busybot Current BTC price in USD: $16144.52
~ 3 hours 48 minutes ~
13:48 asciilifeform ^ the x11 example btw segfaults in 'x11_generate_id'; may have erroneous headers (or outdated?)
~ 1 hours 31 minutes ~
15:20 asciilifeform ^ example, cribbed from www and then fixed eggogs. worx on dulap-gentoo.
15:20 asciilifeform ^ phf et al (supposing anyone interested in subj)
15:21 asciilifeform uses no linked libs. i.e. approach is potentially usable from static muslism, ad-hoc lisps, etc.
15:22 asciilifeform not given in the demo is the required mutexism, or any way to handle events (would need to listen on the socket, presumably. not tried yet.)
15:22 asciilifeform original author hardcoded .Xauthority path; fixed this to getenv it
15:25 asciilifeform ... strangely: on a box where 'artix', get 'Connection reply indicated failure.' (ln. 178)
15:26 asciilifeform ( there also env var XAUTHORITY not set by default, had to set by hand )
15:26 asciilifeform if anyone has 1) box with xorg 2) spare 5min -- plox to test & write in.
~ 22 minutes ~
15:49 * asciilifeform suspects 'improvement' in format of 'Xauthority' turd on newer linuxen
~ 5 hours 42 minutes ~
21:32 phf http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2022-11-21#1016701 << i like this "write everything from scratch" approach, but no need to hate on clx, it's written in the age when corporate entities still produced tight and usable code

22:34 asciilifeform phf a neato
22:34 asciilifeform phf: didja have to fiddle with it before it went ?
22:35 asciilifeform http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2022-11-21#1016714 << clx aint ~actually~ bloated; it simply supports the whole (or sumthing like) x11 protocol, which asciilifeform thinks aint needed for na kolenke gui (really, ask xserver to draw lines? wats wrong with drawing'em as if we're in msdos, in memory, etc)

22:37 * asciilifeform just minutes ago uncrated ancient dead tree x proto manuals. may be able to turn above into sumthing useful at some pt...
22:37 * asciilifeform suspects the demo choked on the other box on acct of not actually parsing all the xauth entries in the turd. will need to find out how... maybe will crib clx's
