shinohai: lol @ the Guix defenders.
asciilifeform: shinohai: even lulzier, systemd aficionado. gotta wonder why he reads my www.
asciilifeform: the guix folx at least make ~some~ kinda sense -- they want 'better debian', where they dun give a damn re hygiene and would rather not wait for compile.
asciilifeform: ( that this puts you at the mercy of the package builders, is typically lost on'em until -- as in the case of the orig. debian -- far too late )
shinohai: I personally don't understand the "OMG, gotta compile from source" haters. Can always compile once, run own local binhost.
asciilifeform: shinohai: if $proggy dun build in 10-15min, on a reasonably recent (e.g. past decade) iron -- gotta question wtf you need it to begin with
shinohai: muh haskell
asciilifeform: i can't think of anyffin on any of my boxen that doesn't build in <15m
asciilifeform: maybe ave1's gnat orchestra, and 'rotor' (but this is because they in fact build gcc + bintools several times in a row)
asciilifeform: these eat whole 40m.
shinohai: Even rotor/trb builds in ~30 mins or so at most.
asciilifeform: on serious box w/ e.g. 32core -- less
asciilifeform: fwiw i certainly dun rebuild whole rotor erry time i write a trb patch
asciilifeform: (why?)
shinohai: I don't either, 'tis already built, and there is `rotor_bitcoin_only.sh` in there.
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: the migration of microshit victims 'to linux' has not been a net gain for the latter. quite the opposite -- they take their brainrot with'em wherever they go.
asciilifeform: ( for the log : '... like a refugee from very rural Pakistan who gets relocated to Oslo, Norway, and still thinks that he could make better food if he were only allowed to light a fire in his living room instead of using that complex electric stove. (This is a real news item. Every now and then, landlords discover indoor fireplaces and occasionally the "newbies" to civilization burn down the building.)' )
shinohai: ^ Above reminds me of book we read in literature class called "Onion John" ... protagonist burns down his new house the town built by trying to light electric stove with newspapers.
asciilifeform: sadly no shortage of real-life examples of these.
shinohai: Must have tandoor oven in every room.
asciilifeform: wb feedbot.
spyked apologizes for the downtime. should have checked more closely after this morning's freenode shenanigans
asciilifeform: spyked: no worries. i wonder, tho, does that bot not know how to reconnect ? what's it made of ?
asciilifeform: spyked: canhaz http://thimbron.com/feed/ added to my feed ? ty
billymg: asciilifeform, shinohai (and anyone else for that matter): i put together a short survey to help me better understand how people here use their blogging software. it includes a set of questions specifically for people *not* using mp-wp because to me this input is just as valuable as that from current mp-wp users in developing my perspective
billymg: would either of you have any interest in taking a look / potentially responding?
PeterL: billymg: I am using WP-MP and would be willing to answer your questions
billymg: PeterL: sure, much appreciated. link is here: http://billymg.com/2020/04/mp-wp-user-survey/
asciilifeform: billymg: i'ma answer the survey (most likely not until nightfall tho)
billymg: asciilifeform: tyvm, looking forward to reading
PeterL: billymg http://billymg.com/2020/04/mp-wp-user-survey/comment-page-1/#comment-121 in mod queue
billymg: PeterL: approved, ty!
shinohai: billymg: I'm cleaning up from birthday shenanigans yesterday, but will make attempt to do survey as well. (Not a mp-turdpress user, so dunno if helpful)
billymg: shinohai: sounds good, thank you. and yes, definitely, non-mp-wp users wanted as well
