snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-22 12:35:01 asciilifeform: spyked: mine disconnects strictly when a send() or recv() actually return eggog (i.e. indicating dead tcp pipe)
spyked: in any case, for some reason the current reconnect call from ircbot "ping-thread" never worked for me, it only disconnects, but never comes back to life.
spyked: (possibly because the call is not done on the main thread? I didn't look into it further than that, tbh)

asciilifeform: incl. N=1 case.
diana_coman: PeterL: well, you'd be better off doing and learning rather than popping up every now and again with suggestions only so that then people also have to explain stuff to you for no clear result otherwise.
PeterL: I don't mean two full bots, I mean split the function of your bot into two, so you sould have, e.g. snsabot-listener who never talks, just puts lines in the DB, and when somebody quotes something then snsabot-talker reads it out
asciilifeform: PeterL: what does this win?
diana_coman: asciilifeform: I'd tell him to implement it, run it and document the results; he'll figure out what you are saying much faster that way + he'll learn something from it at least.
PeterL: that way you know the things you said actually went out over the line
asciilifeform: PeterL: ben_vulpes & trinque's orig bot actually worked this way. from the added complexity of multithread, had other problems entirely.
asciilifeform: i agree w/ diana_coman tho -- try it yerself
asciilifeform: PeterL: if you do, will learn, that moving parts have a cost -- even if they're invisible, mass-less, and supposedly 'phree'
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-03#1933337 << spyked et al: i am finding this thread a puzzler. here's why :

asciilifeform: ^ not only worx, but i posted not only proggy, but full explanation of algo, here. and yet folx ~still~ bashing heads over 'pinger threads' and other ???! epicycles?!
asciilifeform: why not puzzle over an actual open problem ?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-01 18:22:51 asciilifeform: diana_coman: appears to work. we're gonna want an algo , tho, that doesn't resolve to 'throw out my db if outta sync and eat the other's' imho .
diana_coman: aww, feedbot can't seem to keep up with the pace of trilema comments, lol
asciilifeform waves to diana_coman 
diana_coman: fwiw I don't think that's MP's point at all.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i suspect he has >1 point, but that this indeed was 1 of'em. but i expect he'll clarify, i'ma refrain from guessing.
asciilifeform: meanwhile : BingoBoingo : the crate with the 1u chassis's is here.
asciilifeform: btw diana_coman actually #20 contains mistake, in temp mirrors 1st set up 'nginx' as in older system, then 'apache' to compare whether made diff in re performance (it did not) . ( putting this here, rather than to spam mp's www with 9000 errata comments.. )
asciilifeform: re 'postgres' vs 'mysql' -- afaik they're entirely compatible, such as they are used in my item, with the exceptions of: 1) table indices 2) dump format.
mircea_popescu: holy shit i can't keep up here.
mircea_popescu: by the time i pen a comment another 5 are in there, and then the log scrolls and omgwtfbbq
mircea_popescu is firmly committed to getting to it all though
asciilifeform: i'ma stfu and give mircea_popescu the needed air atm
asciilifeform will try an' work through mircea_popescu's sicilian proverbs
diana_coman: asciilifeform: it's a song afaik lolz.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i see it nao, but i eat slowly, lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, it's luna mezzu mare, the saltarelle they play for weddings
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i recall you had another similar , sumthing like 'da-mi mama dupa Iura'
mircea_popescu: that'd be ro
asciilifeform: strangely sicilian seems almost plug-compatible with ro (sorta like those old sovok rocket connectors, 'only gotta hammer it once and the pins will bend...' )
asciilifeform: more so than e.g fr/sp
asciilifeform: or even swede vs norsk
mircea_popescu: that i dunno
asciilifeform: in related funnies, icelandic is hammer-compatible w/ chaucer's engl.
asciilifeform: ( picture english, but supposing it hadn't lost its declensions )
asciilifeform once worked through a collection of icelandic tales, by third ch was approx as edible as current engl

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: laff, but iirc there's folx who live 100% in emacs. ( trinque iirc )
mircea_popescu: i knew some back in the day also.
asciilifeform deliberately does not, sticks strictly to ~writing~ in it, that way also less distracted when doing so
mircea_popescu: eg, guy maintaining the server where i was pico-ing my email in the 90s, kept wanting to get me to emacs.
mircea_popescu: uhm. s/pico/pine/
asciilifeform: pico may as well ~= pine imho
asciilifeform: same authors, iirc, ~same knobs.
mircea_popescu: yes but historical accuracy
asciilifeform for many, many yrs -- used pine ! and when moved from last flat in fact threw out a crt with pine screen burned into the phosphor.
diana_coman: ha, pine ~= highschool email!
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i used it all the way to the last day when the university shut down their unix cluster and expelled all 'zombies' who were still connected. which -- ~decade after graduating -- still included asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-03#1933381 << this is precisely the case ; do me a favour and move out of here to whatever lords' castle that'll have you on your own power so i don't have to strap on my tool belt and do it in a more permanent fashio,

asciilifeform: re ^ PeterL i recommend #a .
asciilifeform: ( a surprisingly well-populated штрафбат . and asciilifeform makes an effort to read its log and reply 2-3x / daily )
mircea_popescu: incidentally re http://trilema.com/2019/so-i-was-thinking/#comment-131257 diana_coman , where's the article detailing the time we attempted to amber linux over it breaking eulora compile process ? is there one even ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc was only in the #t log
mircea_popescu: that's a pity
asciilifeform: was iirc a pre-cuntoo attempt to cuntoo. but unfortunately not publicly given in detail .
asciilifeform also 'pre-cuntoo cuntoo', and pc ver. of same ; with the assoc. headaches elaborately described in the log.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-05-02 09:56:16 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910633 << there's actually not 1 but 2 'standard os' available in piz ( 'rk' and 'dulap' tarballs ) but both are stone age gentoos, they are obsoleted by cuntoo (when the latter is pronounced baked, but really even nao, it is impossible to e.g. 'emerge' packages on the vintage gentoo, the upstream package repos went full tard year ago )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i think that was it !
mircea_popescu: a damn, that's why i wasn't finding it on her blog -- cuz it was on mine
mircea_popescu: tyvm BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-03#1933406 << this can't fucking be, they all must dump sql ffs, wtf.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-03 13:06:19 asciilifeform: re 'postgres' vs 'mysql' -- afaik they're entirely compatible, such as they are used in my item, with the exceptions of: 1) table indices 2) dump format.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in fact (and apropos of your 'but it Will!! break if planets unalign' comment, incidentally) it shits forth not only iso sql , but proprietary oddities
asciilifeform: i have not fully vivisected'em , cannot presently say whether 'eh just filter'em out' would work .
mircea_popescu: it's just...
asciilifeform: aat least it doesn't try to stuff the indices into the dump.
asciilifeform: ( which would make it GB+ and consisting largely of machine barf. i almost expected to discover that it ~does~ when wrote )
BingoBoingo: The SQL in mysql and the sql in postgresql are different enough to not have portability without headbashing.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: fwiw i used only standard sql in my proggies -- with the exception of indices (where there is no standard mechanism, grrrr)
BingoBoingo: This is all fine and good, but Mysql has some thing outside the standard and those things appear to be what makes it the M in LAMP. Postgre may have usecases, but if you want to blog bloggin happens into mysql
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: well imho (and in disagreement with mircea_popescu) blogging includes search box. which is why my wp runs on pg.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Does it include search box for you or for all comers?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as you can see on my www -- allcomers. just like in e.g. phuctor.
asciilifeform: it's cheap.
asciilifeform: cuz properly indexed.
BingoBoingo: Is it actually cheap or is it cheap because NFS is weird
asciilifeform: search boxes ~save~ cpu cycles, folx who insist on searching otherwise wget -m ... . whereas why not let'em search .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: phuctor lives on actual box, same as the logotron.
BingoBoingo: I mean the blog
asciilifeform: blog still lives on starvation heathen host, for nao.
asciilifeform still investigating to-where move
asciilifeform: point being, a search box query costs approx same as ordinary page load.
asciilifeform: it doesn't walk anywhere near entire data set.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, afaik mp-wp takes postgres out of the box
mircea_popescu: then again, this was last tested (and true) ~decade ago
BingoBoingo: Anyways, there is no place for nginx in the world
mircea_popescu: was it you that had a near death experience with the thing ?
mircea_popescu: i recall someone did
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo and asciilifeform together, when attempted the collective php blog system on same
asciilifeform: ( found out that there is no working equiv. of 'mod-php' for ngx )
BingoBoingo: Nor any easy equivalent to .htaccess
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: meanwhile the GB switch crate is here !
BingoBoingo: because nginx paradigm is BACKWARDS
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Very good news!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: nginx was an old heathen attempt to 'trb treatment' of apache by 'cut all the pieces i dun use' -- of 1 particular user.
BingoBoingo: "You can’t do this. You shouldn’t. If you need .htaccess, you’re probably doing it wrong." << Fuck you
mircea_popescu: iirc this is so
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And then he proceeded to routinely make wild obfuscated C changes to ngix citing "optimization"
BingoBoingo: And "performance"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: fwiw i've never succeeded in detecting a performance diff b/w the 2 (in the use scenario where they can be interchanged)
asciilifeform: so i suspect the 'optimizations'(tm)(r) more than made up for whatever was gained in the orig. cut.
asciilifeform: re 'htaccess' tho, imho the cut was correct, 'deny errything but what is explicitly permitted in the config' is the Right Thing, rather than 'make user specify per-dir'
BingoBoingo: But that is not at all where .htaccess utility comes from.
BingoBoingo: THe .htaccess utility is in much of the most important config needs being directory or file specific
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm aware that it is also used as a kludge to 'naggum's bulldozer' over broken www proggies .
snsabot: Logged on 2017-10-09 11:45:35 asciilifeform: re 'why would anyone think to use threads' -- this is not mega-puzzle. naggum described similar situation in the bulldozer essay. imbecile sees an obstacle, reaches for the most obvious available power tool that seems to push aside the obstacle; without giving half a shit what's behind it, woods, swamp, mountain, or where the earth he pushed aside will go, and how it might interact with him later, etc
mircea_popescu: he has a point there.
mircea_popescu: "unix" files and linux files are entirely different ; the whole linux fs is really www tronics.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually linux's fs is quite poor match for www case (think -- or else 'htaccess' kludge would not seem necessary)
BingoBoingo: I mean the other alternative is lighttpd's "config lives until process restarts"
mircea_popescu: im not saying it's good fit ; i'm saying it was built around it.
asciilifeform: linux file permission model is a joak even in comparison to microshit's, fwiw
asciilifeform: ( who hasn't blown entire weekend on 'grr should this /tmp/barf be chown apache:apache or apache:foo or...' ? )
BingoBoingo used to blow hours, now usually only blows minutes when they happen
BingoBoingo: Still, gotta go to war with the arms available as nice as it may be to got to war instead with the arms in the development lab
BingoBoingo: 's funding request narrative

BingoBoingo: lol, when the locals ask me for my opinion of their "pagina de web" my first recommendation is the that to get more recommendations they need to cut their page load time down from minutes to seconds.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, nice how that works, huh.
diana_coman: I suppose in time there'll be plenty more similar stuff that I should have written about but what can I do *now* about it - there's still plenty waiting in the queue to be done, yet more to be written and both queues seem to get only longer, a bit balaur-style, cut one head and 2 pop out
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, anyway, i suppose the thing to do is point out to the dorks in question that really there's no need nor any space for their self aferations, drop the shit and go younghands instead.
mircea_popescu: "you'll be an economist when i tell you you're an economist, now go do the dishes"
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: that's an idea though in fairness I can't say I'd *want* them; so far I just kept pointing out precisely that a. learn to write also when you use something, not only when you need something b. send me those other data sets and then who knows

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-03 20:16:18 asciilifeform: let's test the corner case btw:
asciilifeform: this is proper tho. ( not oscillator. )
mircea_popescu: also i believe longest chain on record.
asciilifeform: can make any finite-length chain you like.
asciilifeform: ( observe that neither bot was 'thrown for flood' )
mircea_popescu: ;peetty cool
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's depressing thread makes me want to rewrite the bot nao tho. ( taking suggestions re in-what... )
mircea_popescu: take it easy, this isn't supposed to be enjoyable.
asciilifeform: lol heh
asciilifeform: in all seriousness, the tower o'shit for bot.py is only slightly shorter than for reader.py ( yea no 'flask' -- but dozen other similars )
asciilifeform: btw i dun recall if mentioned this, but it is possible to bake the bot in sumthing that doesn't know about pg, but only knows how to socket. ( i.e. if one were to move the 'insert new line' into reader , and have the latter take a http 'put' on 127.0.0.1 for same )
asciilifeform: i actually did very similar thing in phuctor ( the 'werker', c proggy that uses multiple cpu ) as of '16 does not need to know about pg, it talks to the frontend via ordinary http
asciilifeform: previously had c<->pg glue in it .
asciilifeform: in principle could then have a mircea_popescu-style php reader, and e.g ada bot .
asciilifeform: ( observe that search knob already worx by passing command to reader )
asciilifeform: ( why asciilifeform did not do this in the original ? answr -- because wanted to make the bot independent of reader, so could restart the latter , for cosmetic fiddles, w/out risking to lose lines )
asciilifeform: reader, to date, restarted 100+ times , and no one noticed. ( bot -- iirc 3 . )
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-09-03#1933440 << as for me, it's just cheaper than zeroing my work and starting over.
trinque: ftr, test bot has been connected continuously in #trinque since the other day, looks nipped
trinque: (connected from same box as deedbot too)
trinque: if we get to a week's uptime I'll update deedbot
trinque sits down to eat rest of log
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-09-03#1933478 << recently I torched my whole wad of elisp, got fed up with setting the dials on someone else's machine "just so" and calling the "just so" mine.
trinque: thing's brittle
trinque: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-03#1933459 << oh yeah, plenty of divergences in the dump formats, "standards process" and everything.

trinque: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-03#1933497 << actually I fail to see the merit of sprinkling configuration throughout the filesystem, such that you can't interrogate the whole state of the webserver in a single place.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-03 15:50:45 BingoBoingo: "You can’t do this. You shouldn’t. If you need .htaccess, you’re probably doing it wrong." << Fuck you
trinque: "but it lets tenants configure" runs aground on "there exists no multitenant OS"
trinque: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-03#1933511 << lighttpd and nginx both support life config reloading, not so.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-03 15:56:18 BingoBoingo: I mean the other alternative is lighttpd's "config lives until process restarts"
trinque: not that I have a favorite in either.
trinque: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-03#1933579 << god please no; I want to see gossipd before I'm dead.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-03 20:28:54 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's depressing thread makes me want to rewrite the bot nao tho. ( taking suggestions re in-what... )
trinque: asciilifeform: anyway I decoupled the protocol from the backend services on mine, but used deeb for the decoupling. intent was to be resilient to new tmsr~ chat protocols emerging
