mircea_popescu: and yes, what alf says. the per block thing
mod6: lemme take a quick look
mod6: I don't see a "stall time".
mod6: Let me illustrate
asciilifeform: mod6: the read/write times
asciilifeform: y'know, when trb sits like idiot and waits for bdb to disk i/o.
mod6: (btw, the full log is available via the blog), but here's a snippit of one block eaten
asciilifeform: where's the db read wait ?
asciilifeform: that was in the last patch
mod6: my checkblock stats are mean/median of all of those values
mod6: accept block, process block, and db write wait.
mod6: that was in the odometer?
asciilifeform: anyway looks like you don't have this
asciilifeform: plot the write times plox ?
asciilifeform: ( the avg is not very useful, it includes megatonne of 0/handful-tx blocks from early years)
asciilifeform: so the two curves would be:
asciilifeform: 1) total ProcessBlock time (vertical) -- block # (horiz.)
asciilifeform: 2) db write wait time (vertical) -- block # (horiz.)
mod6: <+asciilifeform> anyway looks like you don't have this << ahh, sadly, no.
asciilifeform: not a big deal, read+write ~= total ProcessBlock time
asciilifeform: ( from my earlier findings . )
mod6: ok, i'll see what I can do about getting those two curves put together today.
asciilifeform: neato, ty for the sweat mod6
mod6: <+asciilifeform> not a big deal, read+write ~= total ProcessBlock time << makes sense. stangely, i overlooked that last patch
mod6: asciilifeform: np all tall, my pleasure

mircea_popescu: great again, you mean.
lobbes: So, I'm midway through my first gentoo adventure. Currently on the compile kernel step (genkernel), but running into funkiness with uClibc errors. My question is: if I abandon uClibc for, say, glibc, will I have issues building trb? (I remember reading in logz that trb doesn't use glibc)
lobbes: Perhaps musl is better option? Fwiw, I posted over on gentoo forumz with my specifics, but am not versed enough to know if the suggestions they gave (e.g. using glibc) will fuck me over building trb or not: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1062324.html?sid=c3ea68da31445ec3e870e5344a443dd3
asciilifeform: lobbes: uclibc definitely won't work.
asciilifeform: it's missing a bunch of essentials.
asciilifeform: for trb, that is.
lobbes: Aha, well this makes my decisions easier already
asciilifeform: glibc is also not supported for trb.
asciilifeform: ( it fails to link statically )
ben_vulpes: trb builds with buildroot though, does that with which the kernel is compiled affect that pipeline?
asciilifeform: but you gotta make sure to have musltronic gcc.
asciilifeform: otherwise no dice.
asciilifeform: ( this was, if anyone recalls, the whole reason i brought in the buildroot thing )
asciilifeform: in mod6's buildtron, the kernel isn't even used.
asciilifeform: ( but presumably lobbes is trying for a musltronic linux -- probably oughta ask trinque , iirc he has one going )
lobbes: Well, I'm just trying to stand up a gentoo that'll run trb. Seems like my kernel choice may not be as important as I thought as long as gcc is musltronic?
asciilifeform: whole point of a static bin
asciilifeform: is that it will run, in principle,
asciilifeform: on any reasonable linux.
asciilifeform: regardless of how built.
asciilifeform: and be unaffected by local liquishit.
lobbes: Aha (Sorry, most of this is over my head still)
lobbes: Wow, that makes sense all of a sudden
trinque: mostly, it's 1) start from a musltronic stage3 (they're present on the mirrors in iirc "experimental") and 2) install layman, add musl overlay
trinque: if you wanted to start from stage1, there'd be additional steps involving selecting the right portage profile
trinque: but yeah, not required to have musltronic trb
lobbes: Nifty! thanks trinque/asciilifeform

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform possibly time to re-do this whole eatblock instrumentation with a per-line timing profiler.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i DID THIS
asciilifeform: there's exactly 1 segment that accounted for ~99% of time.
asciilifeform: and i instrumented it.
asciilifeform: thread is in the logs.
mircea_popescu: no, i know. but look at the graph. so what ~exactly~ is this 'db write wait time' that is ~= the total ?
asciilifeform: ProcessBlock (res == 1) took : 167839ms; db write wait: 130117ms; db read wait: 21201ms
asciilifeform: i posted a bunch of these.
mircea_popescu: can i has corresponding code snippet that was executing ?
mircea_popescu: nevermind the bunch of these, i want the whole eatblock'd blockchain.
mircea_popescu: ie, ALL, no bunch.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's what mod6 was doing. except that he forgot the 'read' patch ^ and only had total and write.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you up for a re-do ?
asciilifeform: also fwiw his total block delays (red) match the ones on my ssd node (zoolag)
asciilifeform: roughly.
mod6: i certainly could.
mircea_popescu: would be useful to have the whole saga, and you're all set up for it, so should be easier than reconstructing the setup later.
mod6: i'm up for a full re-eatblock. just want to make sure I'm not missing anything this time :]
asciilifeform: mod6: you need asciilifeform_blackhole_odometer.vpatch + above, aha.
mod6: ok.
mod6: let me get that setup.
asciilifeform: one more thing
mod6: ok
asciilifeform: (optional) make it print total odometers on shutdown
mod6: how do i do that?
asciilifeform: so we find out total % of the node's bringup time spent waiting for bdb
asciilifeform: make a, e.g.,
asciilifeform: int64 dbTotal = 0; somewhere,
asciilifeform: and dbTotal += res ; say, after the print.
asciilifeform: then where the shutdown routine is, print it.
mod6: im certain to screw that up
asciilifeform: anyway this is not essential.
mircea_popescu: lettuce take a moment and make this one proper.
mod6: before I recompile everything. i'll check with you again.
mod6: i gotta recut all the blocks anyway.
mod6: i just deleted them this am
asciilifeform: mod6: i recommend to keep'em around
asciilifeform: they are quite handy.
mod6: for whom? it's like 100G
asciilifeform: handy for experiments and what-ifs of many sorts.
asciilifeform: i quite often refer to the raw blox.
asciilifeform: put'em on an old hdd.
mod6: ok, maybe might have to just another drive and drop 'em on there.
asciilifeform: in other noose!
asciilifeform: i may have found a bug in dd.
asciilifeform: of the worst sort, the 'folx in the know, know about it, and it will never be fixed'
mircea_popescu: as a general policy, when doing things of this nature (publishing intertesting stuff in forum) keep the whole echafaudage for day+ while people comment.
ben_vulpes: weeks+ is prudent, review is slow
mircea_popescu: or that.
asciilifeform: apparently, when reading slow or variable-speed source ( such as FUCKGOATS ) dd will sometimes fail to fill an entire block (default block size is 512 on most boxes) and PAD WITH MOTHERFUCKING ZEROS
asciilifeform: the cure, apparently, is option ' iflag=fullblock ' which for some reason is NOT DEFAULT
asciilifeform: MOTHERFUCKERS
asciilifeform: on what planet was this considered acceptable?!!!
mod6: i'll try that next time i run a test.

trinque: folks that want a charitable interpretation of these might ponder a while re: who has the most time / resources to shitgnominate
doppler: asciilifeform: haha, yeah. like I have “alias l='ls -hlp'” for example
doppler: asciilifeform: POSIX sure seems to result in a lot of braindamage
jurov: short reads prolly started as unix worse-is-better philosophy "api has these huge warts but as it can be easily fixed by retrying in userspace, it's okay"..posix only snowballed on
mircea_popescu: i believe.
mircea_popescu: was a time when data was a lot more valuable, basically on account of the world not yet consisting of the www pressed shitboard. in that world of little valuable data, having any chunk "lost in the pipes" would have appeared typically soviet wasteful bureaucratism.
asciilifeform: except that the idiocy in question doesn't preserve any data.
asciilifeform: it inserts 0 silently in place of what failed to read.
asciilifeform: 'new jersey philosophy' : 'silent failure is just about as good as success'
mircea_popescu: if i have 3.5 blocks it allows me to read 4 blocks last of which is half 0s
asciilifeform: could just the same do this without the padding.
mircea_popescu: not on their iron.
asciilifeform: read 77 bytes ? write 77, motherfucker
asciilifeform: let the WRITER pad.
asciilifeform: if the iron wants it.
mircea_popescu: wasteful.
mircea_popescu: padding has now been written.
asciilifeform: i dun get it
asciilifeform: put the padding in when and IF required -- on the end that requires it.
mircea_popescu: do you want to get it ?
asciilifeform: rather than having the reader lie to the operator.
jurov: on the yes test, i got warning:
jurov: dd: warning: partial read (73728 bytes); suggest iflag=fullblock
jurov: still, no mention at all data is mutilated
doppler: I didn't get any warnings. you're using coreutils dd, correct?
jurov: yes, sys-apps/coreutils-8.25 (/bin/dd) (acl nls xattr -caps -gmp -hostname -kill -multicall -selinux -static -vanilla USERLAND="-BSD")
doppler: oops, I actually do get that warning. totally didn't see it the first time. coreutils-8.27 here
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: can haz one moar plot -- just 300,000 and up, plox ? << i can do this easy enough, still want this?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> yes | dd of=out bs=1024k count=10 << ya, tried this, 122880 bytes out
mod6: then tried `yes | dd iflag=fullblock of=out bs=1024k count=10` and says 10485760 bytes out
mod6: so yah that's fucky
mod6: work, work, work.
mircea_popescu: better than the tanning bed.
mod6: for sure
a111: Logged on 2017-04-18 21:20 jurov: dd: warning: partial read (73728 bytes); suggest iflag=fullblock
ben_vulpes: dd on bsd (os x, claims 1994 vintage) does not appear to pad
ben_vulpes: manpage indicates padding must be asked for
Framedragger: this is only done by gnu coreutils dd, it seems. same warning on ubuntu (coreutils), etc.

ben_vulpes: ohey, dieguito
ben_vulpes: i think he's been around a while
ben_vulpes: met him in ars a while back
ben_vulpes: how do these "two way pegs" work?
asciilifeform: 'Bitcoin cannot verify the authenticity of balances on another blockchain. When a user intends to convert BTC to SBTC, some BTC are locked in Bitcoin and the same amount of SBTC is unlocked in RSK. '
asciilifeform: 'locked in bitcoin' wat, how
ben_vulpes: c'est un mysthurr
asciilifeform: and we find, further in,
asciilifeform: 'At least 51% percent of the Federation members signatures are required to transfer bitcoins out of the peg wallet. However, once Bitcoin soft-forks to support the drivechain BIP RSK proposed, unlocking funds from the peg will require 51% percent acknowledgement by the merge-mining hashing power as well. '
asciilifeform: sooooooo apparently mutilation of bitcoin is part of the plan.
asciilifeform: until then, plain promisetronics.
ben_vulpes: this implies they'll run their own rsk central bank thinger?
asciilifeform: naturally.
ben_vulpes: getting 51% signatures for each trade? or...?
asciilifeform: this gets better and better,
asciilifeform: 'RSK miners cannot double-spend, as the Federation provides the checkpointing service, and every Federation member node is highly connected to the RSK network to prevent Sybil attacks. The Federation will use the checkpointing power to prevent reorganizations of high depth which are not related to a protocol fault. The Federation cannot double-spend, as a Federation member is not allowed to checkpoint two blocks having conflicting t
asciilifeform: ransactions.'
asciilifeform: gotta be parody.
asciilifeform: 'RSK WILL NEVER PROPOSE A FORK TO INTERVENE IN A SITUATION BETWEEN PARTIES OR USERS SUCH AS THE DAO SITUATION' << allcaps, mustbetrue!
ben_vulpes: what, someone else can propose it
asciilifeform: 'clients stop using federated checkpoints when if RSK hashing power is over 66% of the maximum BTC hashing difficulty observed in the best chain and the fees paid in a block are higher or equal to the average reward of a Bitcoin block.' << first, afaik, instance of altshitcoin audacious enough to have hardcoded embrace&extinguish automated detector.
ben_vulpes: how does one detect hashpower?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: via difficulty ?
ben_vulpes: i suppose, weak proxy though
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: why ?
ben_vulpes: only adjusts every two weeks, right?
asciilifeform: right. but if you notice that a block is happening every 3min, you can also estimate the next change in diff
asciilifeform: ergo the hashpower
asciilifeform: (unless you want to dispute whether it is correct to say 'hashpower' if someone somewhere is mining using a non-bruteforce algo, 'cheating', or with whatever witchcraft that doesn't require walking the hash)
mircea_popescu: o look, it's random scam nonsense day on trilema.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how long till we cycle back to that brunette fucktard, what's her name.
asciilifeform: tresscoverer?
asciilifeform: or what was it
mircea_popescu: nono, some beauty contest reject that then failed to find her cocksucker career, went into congressional aide pretense.
mircea_popescu: stupid name too
mircea_popescu: prophiria brick or audacia stove or somesuch usian style greek-given name / scullery item family name.
asciilifeform: i must've missed this one
