00:44 billymg http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-06#1949939 << nothing major, a minor bug was discovered by several mp-wp users. once it was determined that it was the result of the latest patch i was able to zero in on the offending change and issue a fix plus a test http://billymg.com/2019/11/bug-fix-to-preserve-encoded-html-characters-in-post-body-between-edits/
00:44 ossabot Logged on 2019-11-06 12:39:33 mircea_popescu: billymg, what's the mp-wp story, did i miss some updates ?
00:46 billymg i'm very much liking the testing framework and am glad i was encouraged to set that up. i now definitely want to finish writing the tests before working on any additional features/trimming
00:53 billymg i'm also optimistic about the additional attention mp-wp seems to be getting over at #ossasepia - jfw has several patches in his queue already http://fixpoint.welshcomputing.com/manifest
00:54 billymg at the moment i don't have the necessary time to be fully involved so for now i'm just happy to see diana_coman and her pages chipping away at it. but i'm very much looking forward to getting back into it once i've successfully jumped the fence

01:10 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-31 23:46:29 mod6: trinque: not yet. is your wallet stuff back up?
01:12 trinque http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-06#1949758 << somebody's going to have to tell me what they think is not "done" about the current item
01:12 ossabot Logged on 2019-11-06 11:37:43 mircea_popescu: and you verified you can actually deploy this proto cuntoo on various hw, so we're good here : as to 1, smg will use proto-cutnoo until can switch to cuntoo ; and meanwhile ima see what trinque has to say re cuntoo and try to get bvt to patch against it and so on
01:12 trinque point-in-time gentoo snapshot is shot.
01:13 trinque I don't think it should be considered anything more than a liferaft
01:13 trinque meanwhile I've been working on a smaller item based on busybox.
01:13 trinque I don't think it'd be wise at all to try to own something with 900mb of dependency source.
01:14 trinque and if anyone considers the current cuntoo too low-level to be useful, they're not going to feel much differently about classical gentoo. the barriers to entry are the same in both cases.

01:15 BingoBoingo trinque: Are you still inclined to completely write of your server and FUCKGOATS, or do you want me to try to recover some value from it for you and get you a pair of FUCKGOATS. I don't need an answer immediately, but would prefer one by Monday.
01:17 trinque do you recall if I ever bought a FG from you gents? iirc one wouldn't fit in my chassis, and I forget where we landed.
01:19 trinque BingoBoingo: as for liquidating my stuff, I wouldn't mind getting a FG or two out of the deal if it can be swung
01:19 * trinque would pay shipping
01:20 BingoBoingo trinque: When alf was here we put one in each hemisphere. It seems you did buy two, but the notes from the period the transaction happened are a clusterfuck.
01:21 BingoBoingo trinque: Shipping FUCKGOATS won't be anywhere near as awful in pricing as 1U servers.
01:21 BingoBoingo If you would like, I can auction your chassis on the same basis I'm auctioning the Pizarro servers.
01:22 trinque cool, if I own those just lmk what shipping costs. I'll gpg a destination
01:22 trinque BingoBoingo: works for me
01:23 BingoBoingo Your chassis is a bit heavier and deeper than the dulap machines, but it also has the guts of two machines inside.
01:24 BingoBoingo When I walk later I'll weigh what I'll stake of my own coin as the buyer of last resort on it.
01:25 trinque nah man, I don't want you to do that.
01:26 trinque unless you actually want the thing. I don't need the coin.
01:29 BingoBoingo trinque: I can go really low, see how little I'm valuing the switches at http://bingology.net/2019/pizarro-liquidation-auctions-proposal/
01:29 trinque k
01:32 BingoBoingo The reason to place myself as buyer of last resort is to pre-empt later objections that X item located at the ass end of the world has a concrete value. If it did the objector had the chance to bid.
01:33 BingoBoingo For the value of the dell badge, I will however make an earnest effort o sell the mod6/TBF server in the local market as a sorta prop that can go into a sufficiently deep wifi rack.
01:35 BingoBoingo The local market to buy that one is deeper for the branding than the market is for the supermicros despite the supermicros being better servers
01:39 * BingoBoingo back later

02:26 mircea_popescu http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-06#1949990 << the thing here is, minigame will need to use a os. this means a very simple binary choice : either it uses something made by us, or not. the criteria for the former is that someone's in charge ; the criteria for the latter is that it's convenient.
02:26 ossabot Logged on 2019-11-06 21:18:49 trinque: I don't think it'd be wise at all to try to own something with 900mb of dependency source.
02:27 mircea_popescu since you're the ~only one here in a position to claim ownership of something like an os, i want to know if you want to do so.
02:27 mircea_popescu if you don't want to do so, my options are either to try and promote someone else, or else drop the whole pretense and simply use the latest whatever the fuck it is.
02:28 mircea_popescu which is actually what i'll do, i don't perceive the value of waiting on products while people get their shit in order.
02:32 mircea_popescu there's still zero interest in whatever flavour of the day bullshit, "liferaft" or w/e halfassery is to be called this week, "software as is" whatevers.
02:32 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-23 13:40:36 mp_en_viaje: for as long as your mentality stays "amateur dabbler in tmsr", i stay uninterested.
02:34 billymg mircea_popescu: yup, the plan remains, january will be the time
02:34 mircea_popescu cool.
02:47 BingoBoingo This weekend I plan to set aside a solid block of time to give Cuntoo a fair try, but I am not in any position to claim ownership over anything like an OS. I suspect I'll be more successful than the last time I tried for having unloaded a huge ball of insanity outta my head in the interim.
02:56 mircea_popescu i don't think you are, no.
02:59 mircea_popescu nevertheless, the os portion remains a major hole in the whole architecture, because w/o os ownership pretty much all our efforts are unsustainable.
03:00 mircea_popescu then again, without an isp our efforts are just as unsustainable on the other end of the scale, i'm not discovering some sorta novelty here.
03:02 mircea_popescu paying for the sins of historical tolerance-driven complacency, without a foundation to foment the environment there's no people to fill the gaps, etcetera.
03:02 trinque and you have fewer men than you'd like, and I'm not going to pretend to be 20, and then cry when I fail at it. that's why I said I'm looking at kernel + busybox for my own stack. even it isn't human-sized, but it's about two orders of magnitude less twine and shit than "standard linux distro"
03:03 mircea_popescu trinque, i absolutely don't want you to pretend to be 20.
03:03 mircea_popescu dun get me the wrong way, i'm not twelve.
03:03 trinque then I apologize for that part.
03:03 trinque at any rate, you run statically compiled gnat items and a database?
03:04 trinque these, I'd think, would run in a very simple userland
03:04 mircea_popescu as a factual matter, stock'll have to be taken, we can't just pretend lalala and keep sending people to do impossible things.
03:04 mircea_popescu trinque, userland, as for client ? or as for server ? these are distinct concerns for s.mg
03:04 trinque for server, I was contemplating
03:04 trinque but I'm sure you mean to standardize the client too
03:05 trinque comes with whole raft of drivers, graphics stack, etc
03:09 mircea_popescu the server i'm not so desperately concerned about, because that gets baked once and is good for half a decade or more. diana_coman reported she has a running item, so that's... okay.
03:09 mircea_popescu i can see baking it on protocuntoo ; with a view to moving it to cuntoo, ~if cuntoo is a thing~. if it isn't... no view.
03:09 mircea_popescu now as to the client, that's a larger ball of yarn. if i have no serious static goal to contemplate, ima nix decrufting effort, because why bother make it static.
03:10 mircea_popescu indeed why bother make it anything in particular, the market standards are so low... runescape runs in a java environment that crashes 3 times an hour. steam is fucked beyond your wildest dreams. nothing works in gaming, it's a joke, there's no competition in any sense.
03:10 trinque yeah, it depends on whether you want the item to be a technical exemplar or an outreach mechanism, or something else
03:10 BingoBoingo trinque: If I do get a Cuntoo running this weekend, you can expect me to submit Cuntoo-ified versions of my desktop work tools at the speed I port them. Everything I depend on seems to have already been ported to musl based linux distributions. I can't promise doing this fast, but it can be something that would help make a noob-cuntoo image down the line.
03:10 mircea_popescu the client ? ideally it'll be everything ; but in practice we'll take what we get.
03:11 mircea_popescu anyway, any kind of cuntoo-base for client is a distant goal anyway, seeing how ... no x
03:11 trinque BingoBoingo: I'd be pretty stoked if somebody found the hole for new ebuilds and cut a vpatch of some useful items
03:12 mircea_popescu ie, contemplated os ownership is a matter of pure committment. what the world is looking for, today as in the days of the venerable bede, and then as the first day, is people. the sort who commit.
03:12 mircea_popescu the sort who save themselves "for later", well... i dunno what they're for.
03:12 BingoBoingo trinque: Provided I get it running this time I'll at a minimum try to get up to XFCE. I'll make and rate a BingoCuntooExperimenal key for the purpose of something.
03:13 BingoBoingo But this also depends on me getting Cuntoo built.
03:13 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo, you're in absolutely no position to do any of this wtf. aren't you supposed to first find yourself a job ?
03:13 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Aite
03:13 trinque mircea_popescu: nor I, certainly not what I'm doing. these distros are just... quite large
03:13 * BingoBoingo will stay in lane
03:13 trinque the busybox item is interesting because I have some hope of actually eating the thing.
03:14 trinque i.e. the *source* vpatches will actually be human-sized
03:15 mircea_popescu i guess.
03:24 mircea_popescu anyways, eventually we'll get a troop out of new kids ready and able to actually do useful & meaningful shit in computer science, and whatever, the failure of one particular generation won't look that much more remarkable than the string it's part of.
03:29 * lobbes is aiming to get the mp-wp bot fix out by tonight. Then needs to get the auctionbot in better shape.
03:29 lobbes However, after that I wouldn't mind the idea of 'apprenticing' under trinque on cuntoo related things. I could use the education to be honest, and I know he needs hands
03:29 mircea_popescu well... he's practical minded enough to perhaps not waste your effort.
03:29 mircea_popescu besides, spyked was iirc by training a systems guy.
03:29 mircea_popescu trinque, suppose spyked's game, and what you have to do is run the two fellows + whatever we can meaningfully accrete through the tmsr-ization of cuntoo.
03:41 trinque yeah, I'd be happy to talk to both fellas about the thing.
03:42 mircea_popescu suppose you talk to both fellas here about the thing, i wanna follow along
03:43 trinque totally fine by me
03:43 trinque and productive
03:44 trinque the main problem with such a project is how large it is. there were several folks on just trb, for a bit anyway.
03:44 mircea_popescu i expect the principal problem of trb attempt was horrid management.
03:45 mircea_popescu not that i blame the pm, there wasn't one. but the fundamental reason why "adding more manpower to a late project only makes it later" is that lots and lots of "manpower" is actually -ev.
03:45 mircea_popescu the original trb work suffered from a massive aglomeration of -ev workforce.
03:46 mircea_popescu at least, that's my takeaway.
~ 51 minutes ~
04:38 lobbes mircea_popescu: before I commit this fix to a patch, do the excerpts on these comments look saner to you as well? http://blog.ericbenevides.com/2019/11/generic-pingback-target/#comment-134
04:38 lobbes the 'pingback linkback' selector is still suffering from the strip-spaces bug whaack found in the xmlrpc.php, but as that is outside of the scope of the logotron tree I figure that can wait for another day and this bot can be put to bed.
04:38 lobbes (plus whaack iirc has his sights on this for fixing anyways)

09:40 diana_coman http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-06#1949915 - preference is for AMD arch as easiest & more familiar to deploy on & work with; that being said, if no AMD available, will go with Intel; for concrete specs, the current server is rather undemanding and it ran fine on fx-8350 eg something like this should work absolutely fine.
09:40 ossabot Logged on 2019-11-06 12:27:30 mircea_popescu: any preferences re spec ?
09:40 ossabot Logged on 2018-02-05 20:57:25 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo phf trinque diana_coman so i'm thinking of basically getting a dozen amd fx-8350s (because just 125w compared to say fx-9590s 220) racked in u2 mbs (say maybe ASRock 970M PRO3 ? i thinkl that fits in 2u neh ?) with 64 gb ram each and a coupla ssds ? any complaints/suggestions ?
09:40 diana_coman re use, the heaviest part is db queries really.
09:43 diana_coman I should mention that we'll possibly need to review this once we do the release (ie dev server goes into production with the smg communications protocol and hopefully decrufted of most shit otherwise)
09:50 mircea_popescu review as in get a new machine ?
09:52 mircea_popescu lobbes, the only problem is that e= is unpopulated. i'm currently using
09:52 mircea_popescu $select_tail = "?b=".substr(strip_tags($excerpt),0,12)."&e=".substr(strip_tags($excerpt),0,4)."#select";
09:52 mircea_popescu on trilema/s xmlrpc.php as a private fix (which still dun work correctly, for some yet undiscovered reason spaces get eaten), but anyways, select should output no empty e.
09:54 diana_coman mircea_popescu: review as in finally being able to actually benchmark the server and get some concrete idea as to what it needs ; as a result it might be a new machine, yes.
09:54 mircea_popescu so to be clear here, you specifically want two dc hosted machines, one dev one prod ? or are you happy with home-hosted dev ?
09:55 diana_coman BingoBoingo: I had the "stale page" thing on your blog ~10 times and only now (after letting it be for a while funnily enough) it went through
09:55 diana_coman mircea_popescu: I'm happy with home-hosted dev.
09:55 diana_coman just the prod needs to be on dc
09:56 diana_coman mircea_popescu: we will also need some lightweight place to set up the website
09:56 mircea_popescu in which case, should get a 8+ core amd of some kind, 32+gb and a coupla disks, raidless ok, and then review for upgrade in what, a few months ?
09:56 diana_coman mircea_popescu: sounds good.
09:56 mircea_popescu aite.
09:57 mircea_popescu i intend to put bimboclub, thewhet, eulorawebsite etc on the trilema backup server lobbes is comissioning.
09:57 diana_coman ah, ok.
09:57 mircea_popescu younghands/yourblog etc can also go there if you wish.
09:58 diana_coman I might take you on the offer there for my blog if I don't manage to scare up something locally; I have currently some guys next door that I want to talk to, they seem to be at least talkable-tio
09:58 diana_coman so thank you and I'll get back to you on that.
09:58 mircea_popescu aite.
09:59 diana_coman mircea_popescu: re-reading the discussion yesterday it occured to me that the loggers & irc weren't mentioned at all
09:59 mircea_popescu well, they were mentioned in the sense spyked apparently wants to spend the remainder of the year fucking with them.
10:00 diana_coman I am maintaining the logger and I intend to maintain it but any further development can happen only when I get some pages finally up to speed to help as I really don't have currently ~any time left to sink in that.
10:00 mircea_popescu why not just switch to the mp-wp patch ?
10:00 mircea_popescu i don't foresee any future for the current python-powered item.
10:01 diana_coman I still have to figure that out exactly what it does, how it works and so on; I'll have to look into it then.
10:01 mircea_popescu well, lobbes is gonna demo it soonish.
10:01 diana_coman looking forward to the demo.
10:03 mircea_popescu can you ~fucking belive~ that utterly moronic "scientist" NOT ONLY was too fucking special in his shit-for-brains mind to actually use working solutions "over all these years", but actually vomited an entire EXTRA pile of expensive yet worthless dependencies into our process ?
10:03 mircea_popescu the specialisation of expensive yet worthless, bloody hell.
10:07 diana_coman I once said something on idealism and I still stand by it.
10:07 ossabot (ossasepia) 2019-09-10 diana_coman: structure of thought first and foremost; and note that idealism is precisely the inability to see (notice+comprehend) much of the fabric of reality.

10:07 mircea_popescu diana_coman, what's so idealistic about shit nobody uses because it stinks ? i dun get it.
10:08 diana_coman mircea_popescu: that's precisely it, the "who or if uses" does not even enter into consideration there; it's built "because it should be so according to the ideals"
10:08 diana_coman and that's all that matters
10:08 mircea_popescu idealism is one thing. the worship of "shit we know an' are used to" is not idealism. nor is it any kind of conservatism, it's crypto-stupidity ; the same sense of crypto contemplated in 1990s "crypto-communism". cryptic, hermetically sealed in the shit in one's head, outside of the reach of thought.
10:09 mircea_popescu diana_coman, what fucking ideals ever demand the breakage of a unusable cvasi-blog ?
10:09 diana_coman well, not able to notice + comprehend reality = in own head, ofc, where else remains.
10:09 mircea_popescu fucking infuriating.
10:10 diana_coman mircea_popescu: sigh; you'd be surprised perhaps but I doubt it's worth the time to describe in much more detail.
10:10 mircea_popescu there he sat, the fuckhead, FOR YEARS, "oh, one day will mp-wp, hurr durr". one day, rite. then, when push came to shove, DID NOT KNOW what didn't know. because hadn't done. because etcetera.
10:10 mircea_popescu diana_coman, nah, i'm with you, forget about it. ima go take a shit
10:10 mircea_popescu it'll prolly come out as a much greater addition to the world than the remainder of this discussion.
10:11 diana_coman I'll go and talk to those guys to see if I can get a server with them.

11:24 mircea_popescu and if i do that, i'd better do it before i publish later logs on trilema, so the guids aren't in three waters.

20:12 mircea_popescu between the store-supplied wench running the ding machine and the home-brought wenches putting stuff on / taking it off the conveyorbelt, i daresay i run the world's most efficient supermarket operation.

21:35 mircea_popescu heh
21:37 BingoBoingo Second time this year I caught one of those. Looking like an emerging trend afflicting large WoTless enterprises
21:49 mircea_popescu really hard to run a 40 thieves' cave where the lesser theives don't steal anything
21:51 BingoBoingo Especially if they can't shoot the lesser theives for Oslo larp reasons.
21:55 mircea_popescu aha
21:57 BingoBoingo The local commie pick for next econ minister if they win is promising "to continue increasing Uruguay's economic stability" as though stability is not the road to death and bad fruit
21:58 mircea_popescu lmao
22:00 BingoBoingo I think I've convinced a few people that "stability" is why they make more than Europeans while being poorer since... WTF can they buy?
22:01 mircea_popescu no fucking way tjhey make more than euros ?!
22:02 mircea_popescu they make the same ~500 a year bulgarians make, half a ro wage.
22:03 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: At least for the first half of 2019 their very flat wages normalized into dollars were above much of eastern Europe. 20,000 pesos was 600 USD to 700 USD versus the holy European 500 USD
22:03 BingoBoingo This has since changed with the pesofall
22:03 mircea_popescu no dude, nobody in yurp makes 500 lol. it's 1k on the low end (ro, pl, cz, etc) to 4-5k on the high end. france makes like 3k
22:03 BingoBoingo Ah
22:04 mircea_popescu inflation, baby
22:04 mircea_popescu you're working on decade old figures.
22:04 BingoBoingo Ah
22:04 mircea_popescu republic of moldavia, serbia etc are in the 500 zone
22:06 BingoBoingo Serbia, Moldavia, Belarus seem like servicable alt-Uruguays, but I'm not really looking for another Uruguay.
22:06 mircea_popescu belgrade is actually great, budget vienna.
22:07 BingoBoingo ty, In that case I'll move Belgrade up with the first round of Atlantic Rim targets.
22:08 mircea_popescu certainly better fucktoys walking the street than anything on the pacific assrim
22:10 BingoBoingo Pacific coast has Lima, Santiago, and other second and their tier targets. Asian side of Pacific I'm not particularly interested, prioritizing on the level of western european shitholes that don't speak Spanish.
