01:20 ben_vulpes for instance (attn asciilifeform, mod6, BingoBoingo), while reviewing books with mod6 recently i realized that i calculated s.mg's lease cost from the machine purchased from s.nsa (which we got bare, no storage), and not from the cost of the machine stuffed full of disks.

10:23 shinohai When my rockchips arrive though, i guess i'll use one of my old rusty hdd's in one just for lulz, I have like 10 now.
10:33 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: congrats
10:35 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-15#1834721 << for comparison -- what was it like prior to 'aggression' ?

10:36 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-15#1834717 << there's really not a substitute for 'screen' if you're leaving ~interactive~ cmd line processes in background (e.g. shells) , aha
10:36 a111 Logged on 2018-07-15 13:31 diana_coman: asciilifeform, re screen & nohup: metoo! but nowadays I do use screen a LOT
10:36 shinohai Pretty much same as I always reported, usually stayed several "days" behind, this did not improve until I purchased samsung ssd about a year ago.
10:37 * shinohai has always used tmux, but did use screen for some time.
10:38 asciilifeform incidentally, a miniature raid (i.e. harness 4 cheapo hdd to 1 usb3 cable) would be a very useful thing. which afaik unfortunately does not exist.
10:40 shinohai A friend of mine has one of those mediasonic mini raid boxes, i cant remember how many drives it holds.
10:40 asciilifeform shinohai: afaik these all use 'software' raid
10:41 shinohai bummer
10:41 asciilifeform stupidly expensive, too, for what they do.
10:44 shinohai Thankfully, pogo turned out to be great NAT device, I run a mech hdd in the dumb-as-bricks vertical hdd slot, and a samsung t3 portable ssd from the top usb connector.
10:44 shinohai SO have entire trb chain backed up in case of failure ( also www, etc)
10:44 asciilifeform shinohai: didja bake own nat thing for it, or used the vendor's shitware ?
10:45 asciilifeform shinohai: speaking of www, yours seems to be down just nao ?
10:45 shinohai nah, i made own setup after the arch linux install, just do a gentoo chroot once in to sort of unify my setup
10:46 shinohai yeah www is down for netbsd upgrade
10:46 asciilifeform aa
10:47 shinohai pogo also makes a handy local binhost, for those who don't wish to build the same 500 packages when trying new stuff on gentoo.
10:47 asciilifeform nat is very much a 2edged sword, just 2 or 3 nat boxen with heavy use will saturate typical GB lan switch
10:47 asciilifeform nas, rather
10:48 shinohai yeah s/NAT/NAS above
10:55 asciilifeform shinohai: i've found that trb state can't be effectively backed up without stopping the node ( otherwise indices turn to barf . ) how do you do yours ? periodic stops ?
10:56 asciilifeform and whole concept of 'backing up trb' strikes me as wrongheaded -- the most effective backup is simply a 2nd node.
10:57 asciilifeform a new node plugged directly in ( i.e. over lan ) to a working trb node, with 'aggression' should sync in week or 2.
10:58 asciilifeform ( if we had the 'configurable checkpoints thing' discussed 2y ago, this would sync in 3 days or so )
10:59 asciilifeform i.e. at ~max speed permitted by the disk writes.
11:00 asciilifeform you can approximate the effect with dumpblock/eatblock.
11:01 shinohai asciilifeform my system is by no means perfect .... but yeah periodic stops, I only scheduled rsync for twice weekly to pogo, to minimize downtime. Never results in more than half-hour downtime.
11:02 shinohai Which is far better than starting from zero when hdd crashed that time and I lost whole thing xD

11:38 mircea_popescu asciilifeform check this out : i got a bundle which compiles to 64 bits except one lib, which compiles to 32 bit and then i get " wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 Program exited with code 0177". the configure for it manages to ignore both enable-lib64 --disable-lib32 and CFLAGS=-m64 CXXFLAGS=-m64 LDFLAGS=-m64 sets of flags. you ever heard of such ?!
11:39 trinque http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-14#1834507 << read and enjoyed your porting process for mysql. this will be how things go. many items already have patched ebuilds in the musl-overlay, which your system is using atop traditional portage. some wont, and will need to be fixed.
11:39 a111 Logged on 2018-07-14 15:09 diana_coman: ftr screen also fails and I'd rather have it than not have it but it's not a eulora dep in itself
11:40 mircea_popescu i can't tell you just how fucking thrilled we are it was actually approachable in this level.
11:40 mircea_popescu usualyl when you end up going into codepile to ablate idiocy you discover the broken glass
11:40 trinque indeed, glad to see she got right through
11:41 mircea_popescu anyway, fwiw : mysql existing as gnat/cuntoo item (combined with its deployment in mp-wp, eulora etc) pretty much guarantees by now that tmsr db will be mysql derivative.
11:42 mircea_popescu if anyone has serious issues with this better get a portage candidate up asap so it can be imported when cuntoo comes, because otherwise it's as dead as the woodchipped people.
11:42 mircea_popescu postgres or w/e.
11:45 trinque musl will "break" where it refused to implement glibc feature-creep outside the posix libc standard. it's a stricter implementation.
11:46 trinque some of this work won't have to be done completely ab initio; there are musltronic distros out there that can at least act as source material for research, alpine and void linux for example.
11:47 diana_coman trinque, cheers! glad it wasn't worse there really (will see for the rest :D )
11:48 mircea_popescu trinque im not saying it's impossible, by any means ; but it'll have to be either done or not done, there's no "i'm not waht i do i'm what i dream". like a wedding, "anyone wanting postgres/whatever speak now or stfu fe&e"
11:49 trinque 100% agree, and appreciate the underscoring of it. no "hobbyist approach" will work.
11:50 trinque to take a specific example, my mention of musl distros isn't an excuse for anyone to blindly pilfer patches and then sign because "built!!"
11:51 mircea_popescu great way to get whacked.
11:59 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-15#1834748 << trb node is one of the few items that ~can't~ be backed up in the usual sense. because what you get if you just blindly copy is a shitup not a backup.

12:14 asciilifeform aa
12:15 mircea_popescu anyway, it turns out the lib built ~is~ 64 bit, contrary to my assumption that error messages are useful.
12:15 mircea_popescu so strike all that.
12:17 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: btw were you building with trinque's gcc or with ave1 's ?

12:18 asciilifeform well they're both 'vintage 4.x'
12:18 mircea_popescu right, but this is mine.

12:22 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-15#1834764 << trinque do you have a list of items you observed to be broken under musl ? or is this still in the works

12:23 asciilifeform the 2 major ones i specifically recall in logs were 'screen' and emacs
12:24 mircea_popescu though it's arguable emacs works in any sense.
12:25 asciilifeform [insert oblig emacs thread here]
12:25 mircea_popescu anyway, i expect neither gtk nor kde work, and i expect contrary to postgresetc discussion above, nobody likes any of 'em even vaguely enough to import.
12:26 mircea_popescu but should probably try X at some point i guess.
12:26 asciilifeform i can't picture anybody shedding a tear for gtk/kde/etc
12:26 mircea_popescu asciilifeform just as long as i can still use cuntoo to show cunts their cunts too!
12:26 asciilifeform plain x oughta suffice, for this.
12:27 mircea_popescu if it works. which...
12:27 mircea_popescu video drivers etc.
12:27 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: kernel mods dun use userland libc, so this should in principle not be affected by muslism
12:28 mircea_popescu i guess we'll find out soon enough.
12:29 asciilifeform will be interesting to put cuntoo on box with vga card and see if, for instance, any www browser can be made to run.
12:29 mircea_popescu re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-12#1833740 the above http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-15#1834793 is 4.4.3
12:29 a111 Logged on 2018-07-12 11:18 asciilifeform: trinque's gcc, btw, is exactly as was printed on the crate, x86_64-gentoo-linux-musl 4.9.4
12:29 a111 Logged on 2018-07-15 16:18 mircea_popescu: right, but this is mine.
12:30 mircea_popescu asciilifeform and by "any" you mean which ?
12:30 mircea_popescu i've conducted a review of extant browsers ; outside of opera ~none work worth a shit ; and in the lulziest of manners, eg, firefox 45 crashes about 4.5 times more frequently than firefox 10. and so on.
12:30 asciilifeform i meant 'any'. afaik the only remaining graphical www thing that builds even on asciilifeform's ban-flagged gentoo ( not even speaking of musl ) is old firefox.
12:31 asciilifeform i dun know much about ye olde closedsores opera -- if it was built statically, it oughta run on cuntoo
12:31 asciilifeform if not -- then guaranteed bomb
12:31 mircea_popescu kinda my point.
12:32 asciilifeform ( i assumed mircea_popescu was speaking of ye olde norwegian ministry of telecom or wherever 1MB closed x86 opera, rather than the 'modern' abortion )
12:33 asciilifeform commercial/closed binariolade 'for linux' will not run on cuntoo unless it was built statically, but prolly erryone realizes this.
12:36 mircea_popescu afaik they were, even as far as the 10.x series ; but this i've never put to the cuntoo test.
12:37 mircea_popescu here included by reference, the "acid3 test" lulz etc. who even remembers 2007 anymoar.
12:37 * asciilifeform fires up box with opera 12.16 -- confirmed static
12:38 asciilifeform so yes you could run it. tho on x86/amd64 strictly, naturally, afaik there was never a build for arm etc
12:39 mircea_popescu asciilifeform iirc that's the last one where it can even be claimed to be a thing, afterwards moved to being skin on chrome.
12:39 asciilifeform aha, sorta why i had it lying around
12:39 asciilifeform afaik it was the very last.
12:39 mircea_popescu imo that's the correct cut here : not "oh, is it the 1995 safari-clone by nowegians" but "oh, is it the thing before or after google gutted it"
12:41 asciilifeform google et al not only gutted it, but arranged for the orig src to be buried in cement, for the obv reason.
12:41 mircea_popescu also imported by reference, all the "oh, we're moving to webkit, it's so great and good and btw folks, totally A TECHNICAL DECISION OK!!!" then google drops webkit moves on to their in-house shitpile, oprea "dev" team is like... o yeah totally!
