mircea_popescu: lol. hello there
framedr_stillghe: mornin'. so my gpg key is in another place, should have access this evening, or somesuch. (it's backed up and everything, but simply very inconvenient to retrieve it right now.)
framedr_stillghe: regarding bot: so, the problem is that on some days, some specific characters are recorded by znc which trip up the bot, which expects utf-8. those chars are not utf-8. not blaming this on irc, this should be handled of course
framedr_stillghe: apparently though it's not enough for bot to silently skim through shitty lines (until it reaches the quotable target) - the whole irc log for that day is not readable.
mircea_popescu: interesting.
framedr_stillghe: what needs to happen is, i need to rewrite the whole friggin' thing, and either ditch znc (while using it as backup log history channel, perhaps), or to understand why znc records some shitty chars.
framedr_stillghe: if i can do the latter then the problem is sorted. except for, you know, still having a viewer without search.

Framedragger: i am not sure if i should spend time chasing encoding rabbit holes, or start on rewriting things. the logging part is otherwise reliable, after all. but i guess znc can be kept as a source of redundancy, and another logger *which knows wtf utf-8 is* does the primary logging.
Framedragger: (znc is configured to use utf-8 and to expect utf-8, before you ask.)

Framedragger: includes html escaping etc.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: random line cited which includes some html tags.
Framedragger: now if only bots could signal each other when they should stop citing each other's corresponding log lines :p but actually, since scriba will be slower to cite btcbase, it could check if a111 already cited the line, and if so, cancel retrieval. prolly will do this later.

mircea_popescu: heh. each-reads-his-own was intended as a mechanism to encourage people to select the better package.
mircea_popescu: however, the problem with this theory is that in practice changing the logger is pretty traumatic.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-14: [21:23:49] <phf> asciilifeform: we started with a single canonical log though, where kako's testimony was implicitly the word of tmsr. there was some anathem/"A Canticle for Leibowitz" jokes about it, the log files were deeded, etc. while working on btcbase i realized that there can be no canonical log without arbitration, i.e. because of netsplits, lost messages, out of order, clock skews you need a single author
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-14: [21:23:49] <phf> log. so at some point we were in "log according to btcbase" situation. with the recent move to multiple bots and more importantly multiple logs, we now have "log according to ..." model, which we can still though attempt to reconcile. once we move to gossip there can't even be a talk of single log. it's always "log according to whoever heard and relayed it" by design.
Framedragger: one side-effect from the above: it may therefore be that as one approaches the gossipd model / state of affairs, cooperation > minmax-style competition

phf: Framedragger: i'm basically using kako's log format as a universal exchange <id>;<unix timestamp>;<nick>;<message>, so there's a python bottle proxy sitting on a machine, that, very defensively, can serve a copy of your page in a kako format. it caches all pages that are not today, and it has like 10 second cache for today's queries, but otherwise i'm not mirroring your pages

asciilifeform: e.g., http://ma0okb3t7xm4z9ttu5zt9xfu8leca0do8byzn.burpcollaborator.net contains '<html><body>u2fbaww7z5xmct4xg2wyplzjjogvgnfigz</body></html>'
asciilifeform: and so forth.
phf: very defensively, because it needs to do checks like
phf: if (dt == date(2016, 9, 6) and int(localid) >= 166) \
phf: or dt > date(2016, 9, 6):
phf: tz = utc
phf: else:
phf: tz = timezone('EET')
phf:
Framedragger: phf: nice. (nice caching setup, too). thanks for explaining - i'll want to set up some 'backup redundant history source' soon, i think..
Framedragger: *ahem*
phf: ahem, indeed!
Framedragger: thought that's what you meant by defensively
phf: well, for my own znc it has to do like a bunch of retarded timezone conversions, but at least i sat down and thought them through this time
phf: (my server is america/denver, my log dates are in america/new_york, and kako's format is served in utc)
phf: but since i don't have to expose it to wild net, and rate of checks is low, i can just have a bottle file per task, just doing its own specific massaging
Framedragger: yeah. my contrab now has TZ=UTC LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/bin/znc >/dev/null 2>&1 just to be sure. unfortunately, that only happened later.
Framedragger: sounds good
Framedragger: (things will be moved to proper db with proper unixtime)
Framedragger: crontab*
phf: db is only worthwhile once you start writing analytics on logs. i've been doing the read directly from znc logs using regex approach for almost a year (actually scratch that i was querying kako's logs over web), and only decided to step it up once i realized i want xref
phf: i guess search too, but that's kind of lateral. you can write a bit of python code using xapian to do parsing and indexing for you, and i suspect it's going to be ballpark database speeds. postgresql's builtin search is .. special
Framedragger: how about full text search? though i know that a combo of caching and grep-in-memory-map mode (on an ssd, say) may be viable
phf: xapian will give you full text search
Framedragger: postgres builtin search needs to be massaged iirc, and e.g. if you set up indices you may need to do https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Tuning_Your_PostgreSQL_Server - actually, best to change things anyway, as by default postgres assumes you have very little memory, etc.
phf: kind of tricky to cache search, since it's very one off. most load on server comes from searching (i mean it's miniscule still, but...), but i looked at analytics and search queries are all over the place. you have n hits from mentions, which ~might~ be worthwhile to cache. (like ascii does !#s foo, and then there's a dozen of hits from random ips and browsers)
Framedragger: (i.e. i agree, but there are ways to leverage things. but, takes time to do right)
Framedragger: yeah. a bit tricky

asciilifeform: 'alf-wp' does not, and will not, because it does not have write permissions for the file system.
asciilifeform: period.
asciilifeform: so it cannot alter .htaccess.
asciilifeform: (yes this also means that i do picture uploads, etc. by hand.)
asciilifeform: and here mircea_popescu thought that he wore the hairiest shirt...
Framedragger: asciilifeform: but you can edit .htaccess (or nginx directives for the site) yourself, at least that's what i did in the past iirc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it wouldn't need to alter it however. afaik mp-wp doesn't either ; handles redirects itself like a grown-up system ??
mircea_popescu: puts a -d in there, once, when you set it up ; builds its own flalback.
trinque: ^ I run on nginx, am not using any kind of writable htaccess
trinque: and I've swapped around those URL settings since install
asciilifeform: looks like my ancient wp cannot do this.
Framedragger: well, the webserver needs not to get confused if it is asked to serve /some/hipster/post where neither that file nore /some/hipster/index.* exists; it needs to pass uri as parameter to index.php
mircea_popescu: i can't recall now if it was from the mp or the wp part of the family, but i think mostly the latter really.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, if anyone wants to check how wordpress does latex formatting and roll a mp-wp plugin / v update for it that'd be grand. in typical faux open source style, they're remarkably unhelpful with it (see https://en.support.wordpress.com/latex/ )
asciilifeform: latex comments are a dodgy thing imho. it's turing complete...
asciilifeform: and a gigantic coprolith of multi-meg ??????.
mircea_popescu: yeah there is that. and that.
Framedragger: i recall using mathjax for math equations
Framedragger: lots of javascript but renders well. but lots of javascript
Framedragger: i mean, mathjax in wp
Framedragger: which renders latex
mircea_popescu: Framedragger look at the example given ; it's an image.
Framedragger: you cant copy paste an image
Framedragger: sucks balls
Framedragger: maybe just my preference
asciilifeform: 'The MathJax javascript can be delivered from your own server, or you can utilise the [MathJax Content Distribution Network (CDN)] (http://www.mathjax.org/docs/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn), which is the preferred mechanism as it offers increased speed and stability over hosting the Javascript and configuring the library yourself. Use of the CDN is governed by these Terms of Service.'
asciilifeform: barfalicious.
Framedragger: yeah i just used the former asciilifeform
asciilifeform: Framedragger: with the former, you're feeding crapola from strangers into a turing-complete latextron.
asciilifeform: with the latter, you're serving up crapola from strangers.
Framedragger: i know you dont care about mobile users because they suck mircea_popescu , but what's nice with rendered fonts is that they scale nicely; among other things
mircea_popescu: how cool it is that we ate all the bugs and errors from "supporting utf", because look - there's no fucking glyph-based way to latex, in 2016.
Framedragger: hence the clause "but lots of javascript"
mircea_popescu: but hey, at least the-shithead-bureaucrat-who-inherited-apple gets to have his day in the sun about whether the glyph for "gun" should be "water pistol"
Framedragger: asciilifeform: not arguing here though; i just recall mathjax working nicely in wp, served from server; but, yes, lots of js
mircea_popescu: it was so totally fucking worth it.

asciilifeform: is this a problem that pete_dushenski has, or as of yet only wants to have..?
pete_dushenski: neither really
asciilifeform: so what's it to him then
pete_dushenski: just a curiousity, a fascination with architecture as a representation of culture
pete_dushenski: more enduring symbols of society exist not. the rarely interacted with written word aside, built structures are how we understand the past.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: this only works for civilizations that build actual permanent structures. whereas these folk are converging back at the 'african mud hut' standard
pete_dushenski: it's also a hell of a way to leave one's fingerprint on the world after he's gone.
asciilifeform: ~none of this crapolade will be standing in a century, much less 10.
pete_dushenski: as understood at least since pharoah
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: so what ? mud hut is still ethnographic hallmark.
asciilifeform: roman aqueducts will be standing 1000 yrs from now ( unless islamic bulldozers get'em first .) american cardboard - not so much.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: well you did say 'enduring'
asciilifeform: here on my planet, words have meaningz!111
pete_dushenski: and what does 'enduring' mean then ? 10 seconds for einsteinium ? 10 millenia for pyramid ?
asciilifeform: can mean various things, of which 'mud hut' is not any.
asciilifeform: as far as houses go.
asciilifeform: cardboard house is built to last ~exactly as long as the chump's mortgage.
pete_dushenski: not sure about that. even for houses 'enduring' should be satisfied by multi-generational.
asciilifeform: these - quite certainly are not.
shinohai: "We've lived in the same trailer for 50 years!"
pete_dushenski: lol even if that requires banging out the next gen at 20
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: even then! ever ~see~ an american house ?
asciilifeform: the suburban cardboard-and-aluminum box kind
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: ticky tacky houses in 1960s were also designed to last as long as mortgage, yet many still stand. just need updated plumbing, electrical, bathrooms... bones are fine
asciilifeform: the thing shows obvious, to naked eye, signs of self-disassembly after a decade or so
asciilifeform: in 2 decades - springs leaks
asciilifeform: they stand, where they stand, because folks 'grandfather's axe' them
asciilifeform: i.e. replace, at tremendous expense, the parts.
asciilifeform: 'renovations' is a chumpatron second only to the real estate scam, in usa
pete_dushenski: you think this is somehow unique to residential construction because that's what you're familiar with. it isn't. commercial, industrial, etc are all the same. news flash : building require maintenance.
asciilifeform: pay 400% markup for the aluminum plates etc.
asciilifeform: there's 'requires maintenance' and then there's 'the walls come off after 10y.'
asciilifeform: i was recently in a house built in 1620s. still has motherfucking original brick walls.
asciilifeform: all that changed since it was built is a couplea paint jobs.
mircea_popescu: actually, industrial buildings moved to tents in the 60s/70s, with the great move to china.
mircea_popescu: you still see the actual industrial buildings, eg here. brick with windows emplaced etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is more or less on par with labour cost in re 'why china'.
mircea_popescu: "impractical" and "too expensive" ; they use metallic structure now. EXACTLY as permanent as circus tent.
pete_dushenski: maybe pyramids were low maintenance, but in this climate ~everything~ wears. the expansion and contraction caused by 75C seasonal variation, combined with the short construction season, means that bricks CANNOT BE STRUCTURAL MATERIALS. vapour barrier and insulation is sine qua non
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, was the mode of commerce pre-industry as well as post.
mircea_popescu: the "factory prison" system appears strictly artefact of 18th century.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, market ~= circus.
pete_dushenski: this much is true.
mircea_popescu: anyway. funny how the adventure of "employment" played out, as a concept.
mircea_popescu: nobody thought in terms of "being employed" cca 1650 ; nor much today.
asciilifeform: eh serfdom was here in 1600 and will be here in 2600.
mircea_popescu: that adventure - very much linked to the permanent-factory building.
mircea_popescu: (for the innocent : a factory is, originally, where the factors go. and a factor is someone who is empowered to handle money in relation to, eg, indian fur gatherers/traders)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform serfdom is not employment.
mircea_popescu: it is ontology not phenomenology. the serf is no more than his shackles.
asciilifeform: serfdom is the simple, low-tech employment - minus the (expensive in overall terms) hiring and firing
mircea_popescu: kinda why "strike" = "treason" in classical russian.
mircea_popescu: this is not so.
mircea_popescu: serfdom is first and foremost a sexual relationship.
pete_dushenski: parental ok... but seksual ?
mircea_popescu: (there is no other basis for ontology in human affairs - if something breaks from phenomenology into being, they will be doing it on sexual basis)
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski parental is one kind of sexual.
pete_dushenski: sure, but it's more specific.
mircea_popescu: "relationship predicated on functioning of sexual organs".
pete_dushenski: because 'sexual' needn't include parenting ?
pete_dushenski is reaching
mircea_popescu: maybe not your peculiar definition of parenting.
mircea_popescu: thermodynamics also needn't include beer yeasts ?
mircea_popescu: depends. if you think yeast is a metaphysical process then it indeed needn't.
pete_dushenski: ok, reflecting on a rather delicious romp last night, i can see the sexual == parenting angle.
pete_dushenski: i guess i'm just unaccustomed to thinking of everything in sexual terms.
mircea_popescu: well, not everything, but ontology for humans is sex-based.
pete_dushenski: 'to bang or not to bang, that is the question'
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, "He explains that characterizing this as “fantasy” is not meant to be purely critical, that “fantasizing” about the moment of the big bang is what theorists do in the absence of compelling evidence, and that he just has other fantasies he thinks worthwhile."
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the penrose book is great ; and as woit aptly points out a very good basis for groking the current affairs re qm/st/etc.

mircea_popescu: so basically, let me get this straight, trap from nz with a history of beauty pageants etc, forked some gnu software, nobody cared, then a few years later is trying to run with it and get credit for the intellectual theft ?

asciilifeform: could've bothered to steal a piece of ~working~ tech, you'd think.
mircea_popescu: well, unless someone's VERY bored and wants to do a deconstruction/reconstruction of the lizard agitprop into actual text...
asciilifeform: to my shame, i read the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, because to the sort of vermin technology per se is not interesting.
mircea_popescu: what was interesting was the "media" value, as seen above.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the point of this escapade was not to steal the dud bios.
asciilifeform: it was to steal the LAND on which it sits, so to speak.
asciilifeform: such that when, e.g., we publish one, they can boeck it.
mircea_popescu: yeah, i'm totally sure that'll work.

mircea_popescu: what exactly "libreboot is no longer part of the gnu project" is supposed to mean is anyone's guess. the whole existence of gnu is in the form of licenses. they can't retroactively change these. so they'll what, move to mit/bsd licenses in the future ? nobody gives a shit. are they selling to apple ? wouldn't be the first time fraudulent operator tried this under the guise of "good reasonz, guise!!!1"

asciilifeform: ergo the very peculiar 'mandatory trainings', 'hr processes', etc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it'll die no sooner than american tax law. at this point there are 100,000 parasites who make cushy living purely from professionally navigating the kabuki.
