04:16

and sure, you didn't implement. but you're ~supposed~ to implement.

mircea_popescu deeply regrets having spent the earlier 2010s in a "oh, stallman, famous"

11:47

just another dickpuppet, forget about it.

11:47

problem aren't all the tupolevs in gulag

11:47

sometimes 'famous' like titanic.

11:47

problem are all the escaped puppets running about.

11:47

asciilifeform, titanic ACTUALLY sunk. didn't "write home tall tale of sunk"

11:48

not even munchausen. he ACTUALLY lied.

11:48

stallmanism sank similarly

11:48

he didn't lie about one day maybe lieing

11:48

( long before lied )

11:49

fwiw i'm not even convinced that the 'human mushroom' lied in the customary sense -- but instead, fungus, i.e. passed off what his bob becks gave him, as fact.

11:49

utter anal child argumentation, this, "oh, ispent years doing nothing because ANY MINUTE now"

11:50

can stretch that "any minuite" cheese into two fucking years, and whenever you put a limti o nit, "oh, you fucked them up, they were just about to"

11:50

i hope to god they were just about to take a large bite out of a steel girder at high speed.

11:51

needless to say, i am deeply unimpressed with "promising", "famous" and the whole rest of the fucking cohort of fiatardation.

11:52

so -- yeah, hang all the promising adult-children by their guts wrapped around their ballsac, and see what you can do with the rest.

11:52

stalin reference's not even wrong, afaik this was the historica conclusion of lenin-trotsky.

11:52

this algo does require a > 0 'the rest' tho.

11:52

16:47

asciilifeform: re SO_REUSEADDR - i don't see how it is applicable: as i understand errno 106=EISCONN the kernel believes that the socket is still connected (perhaps socket.timeout case in send()?); so if you proceed to connect without closing it, you'd get double connect on the same socket; and SO_REUSEADDR does not protect against this: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=Zd3l

16:48

bvt: i still do not know whether socket 'was not closed, but wedged' somehow (in which case proggy oughta be made such as to find out, and close asap) or in fact closed but on acct of the idjit zombie-by-default thing, not reusable

16:49

bvt: how didja generate the item seen in the paste ?

16:50

as i currently understand, if one were to 1) SO_REUSEADDR + 2) force it closed before attempting any connect -- oughta cure

16:56

also wtf, 'double connect on same socket', why the everliving fuck is this even a thing.

16:57

what was the 'logic' inside the 'heads' that thought this to be permissible ?

16:57

it's in php.

16:57

mircea_popescu: if the tcp stack per se is retarded in this way, i expect it is also in cobol , fortran, etc, how not.

17:05

asciilifeform: i think closing would necessary (not done right now, as i can see); re proggy - nothing complicated http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=4XUj (merged two for convenience, so fd num will be different)

17:19

aa.

17:22

i still dun grasp why os's tcp stack doesn't liquidate a socket known to be stone dead. but this i suppose is a q for the original perpetrators , when they're connected to 220v

Logged on 2019-09-09 05:40:26 diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-09-09#1935128 - yes and probably reader-side ie not bot itself.

22:51

mmkay. Confirmed: not reader.py nor bot.py at fault. Observe this new line from test chan ate and shat perfectly: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema-lobbes/2019-09-10#1000006

22:55

problem most likely in either teh eat_dump.py or the 'raw logs' output.

22:56

I recently had to eat #t lines where index > 1933778 in order to sync, and sure enough here's query where > 1933778 vs < 1933778

those pothead portuguese are at it again I see

23:26

lol, I expect to see more of these sorts of stories. Especially out of Illinois in the future.

Buy order # 1058 has ENDED: 1209 Wired Filthy Fiats, WU is fine but not preferred SOLD by bvt for 123mn ecu. Attn: BingoBoingo

23:34

alright, I've solved the "action line weirdness mystery". The following paste displays two action lines from different sources: one from the output of the znc2tsmr logconverter, and one from the output of the "raw log" dump: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=k0qz

23:34

Note how the raw log dump pads the nick on the right with an extra ';' versus the logconverter does not

23:37

I'm willing to patch one or the other (should be a quick fix). Now... the question is which one? The converter, the raw-dumper, or should the eat_dump.py be able to handle BOTH formats?

23:37

I'll leave this question for tomorrow night. I can pick it back up then

23:38

BingoBoingo: did Illinois also legalize teh pot recently?

23:39

lobbes: They did, it isn't implemented yet, and it's already looking like a scammy ball of lulz.

23:42

7 million people and only a couple dozen licenses with official 6 figure USD price tags. No grow at home without a special medical permit. But with FATCA, KYC/AML/OMGWTFBBQ the whole bribery thing in a place that has seen consecutive governors go to jail... Surely it's under control...

23:48

It also has some "economic justice" provisions that are supposed to affirmative action some "minority owned" businesses into viability

23:49

lol. of course!

23:50

man, the wash-each-other's-laundry-economy indeed

23:56

Well, at the Home Depot there was plenty of opportunity to meet minority entrepreneurs getting in early and without bothering about getting right with fiat.
