| 01:23.56 | synaps3 | like a custom debian derivative |
| 01:24.12 | synaps3 | i'm not finding any easy to follow resources online |
| 01:25.00 | Gramcor | synaps3, mx-linux a debian derivative has a tool for this job, it takes a snapshot and build you an iso of your current system |
| 01:25.08 | Gramcor | i think it works for vanilla debian also |
| 01:25.16 | Gramcor | take it from their github or something |

| 01:27.35 | synaps3 | JUST TO CLARIFY, this program is meant for MX Linux and antiX it won't work on another other system without considerable modifications because other systems don't have the infrastructure needed to run this program. Don't try to install the deb it won't work and might ruin your system. |

| 01:28.19 | Gramcor | synaps3, well that sucks |
| 01:28.59 | synaps3 | i heard, here or other channel, that there is some tool that makes that extremely easy |
| 01:29.10 | synaps3 | i'd honstly like to have custom debian derivatve for me |
| 01:29.34 | Gramcor | you know you can do the same, but without it being an iso |
| 01:29.43 | Gramcor | you can make a tarball of your system |
| 01:30.21 | Gramcor | thats the way i install gentoo with, boot livecd, make partitions + filesystems, mount partitions, extract the tarball, install grub bootloader |
| 01:30.32 | Gramcor | system ready, and i can use my own tarball the modified one |
| 01:30.59 | Gramcor | an iso just does those things essentially |
| 01:32.03 | alex11 | there's preseeding, synaps3 |
| 01:32.09 | alex11 | let me see if i can find some resources |
| 01:32.17 | alex11 | well, hmm |

| 11:28.24 | ratrace | (that's why I don't care about ORMs because they can't utilize DB specific functionality in their fullest) |
| 11:28.42 | ratrace | Lope: negative, and the example I gave with ORMs, confirms that. |
| 11:29.06 | ratrace | for example.... index expressions in PostgreSQL. how do you write the "right interface" for it when MySQL for example doesn't understand it? |
| 11:29.16 | jelly | Lope, enter the fact that some parts of the code need to work _fast_ or _tiny_. |
| 11:29.35 | Lope | ratrace, interesting, I used to use MySQL, but I've been out of SQL for years. Now I'm building an app now where I need SQL and going to use Postgres for the first time. it looks great. Looking forward to it. |
| 11:29.40 | jelly | those parts will need to be optimized. They will never be portable. |

| 11:30.45 | Lope | jelly, okay fair enough, you can have hot functions specific for each platform, and bake those in at compile time. |
| 11:30.47 | jelly | the fact that GNU tools were highly portable is what made Linux a success |

| 14:37.53 | n4dir | alone being able to choose between all kind of DE's or WM's is a big plus in my book |
| 14:38.08 | SoundShaman | yep |
| 14:38.10 | ratrace | EdePopede: yes but those paradigms predate linux |
| 14:38.11 | foxide | Every de is the damn same |
| 14:38.11 | SoundShaman | me too |
| 14:38.25 | foxide | Its just different visual elements and themes. The paradigms are the same. |
| 14:38.32 | EdePopede | user choice. users don't only have different WISHES, but (and that's even more important) different NEEDS. |
| 14:38.34 | ratrace | foxide: right. |
| 14:38.47 | SoundShaman | well yeah that's true foxide |
| 14:38.53 | foxide | So, sure, you have a choice of... which toolkit you want to use to generate the SAME INTERFACE. |
| 14:39.08 | n4dir | the plan 9 interface was sure weird, or: interesting. Depending how you look at it |
| 14:39.32 | foxide | The only thing "new" was gnome 3, and look at the response it got. |
| 14:39.56 | EdePopede | it's mostly a horrible waste of space every time i see it somewhere |
| 14:40.12 | EdePopede | [X] is all it needs |
| 14:40.22 | n4dir | and the paradigm of the Windows interface changed at minimun 20 times the last 20 years, right? |

| 14:40.35 | EdePopede | instead they have something to move around, 3 times the height of the text |
| 14:40.52 | foxide | n4dir: It's had the same UI paradigm since Windows 95. |
| 14:41.00 | foxide | What ARE you talking about? |
| 14:41.03 | EdePopede | srsly, is gnome3 something mobile? |
| 14:41.33 | ratrace | gnome 4.0 is marketing migration of the taskbar to bottom as something super evolutionary. like.... huh, Mac had it for ages, and Unity (and later gnome extensions) were there on linux for years |
| 14:41.57 | n4dir | i am talking about no matter how you look at it, you sure have much more choice how you want your GUI to look like in LInux, BSD, so on, than in Windows or Mac |
| 14:42.15 | n4dir | and even if you stick to one solution only, the ways you can configure it are still much more |

| 14:42.32 | wsky | this is wrong |
| 14:42.37 | ratrace | n4dir: are you talking about theming? |
| 14:42.37 | EdePopede | windows only had 2 different themes iirc, even using a different color scheme was something you had to pay for or not? |
| 14:42.39 | foxide | Okay, but you REALLY don't. So... You do you, but this is an intellectually dishonest representation of the state of desktops on Linux. |
| 14:42.44 | n4dir | ratrace: of course not |

| 14:42.45 | foxide | EdePopede: No? |
| 14:43.06 | EdePopede | foxide: there must have been a reason for windowblinds |

| 23:09.39 | derpadmin | "dmesg" givevs what |
| 23:09.47 | Jasperw | and another pair in a zfs mirror |
| 23:09.57 | Jasperw | zsh: Input/output error: dmesg |
| 23:10.09 | Jasperw | (but I won't be able to run it anyway cos of not being root) |
| 23:10.24 | derpadmin | dmesg does not require root |
| 23:10.30 | Jasperw | The machine is a Xen host as well |
| 23:10.34 | derpadmin | oh, it does |
| 23:13.15 | jhutchins | Jasperw: How about halt or reboot? |
| 23:13.50 | jhutchins | Jasperw: Why don't you have root? |
| 23:17.05 | Jasperw | since sudo and su don't work |
| 23:17.21 | Jasperw | they both segfault |

| 23:21.35 | petn-randall | Jasperw: Why do you want to reboot it? I'm 100% sure if it's broken like that that it won't come up again. |
| 23:22.01 | petn-randall | Jasperw: What steps did you take that lead up to the situation that the machine segfaults on every command? |
| 23:22.14 | Jasperw | nothing it just did it |
| 23:22.32 | Jasperw | I guess a disk or a connection to a disk has gone odd |
| 23:22.46 | petn-randall | Jasperw: Did you check the logs? |
| 23:23.06 | petn-randall | Jasperw: You might be able to run "dmesg" to get any kernel output. |
| 23:23.16 | Jasperw | cat: daemon.log: Input/output error |
| 23:23.22 | Jasperw | can't run dmesg as non-root user |
| 23:23.33 | sney | journalctl -k, then |
| 23:23.37 | petn-randall | Oh right, that sucks. |
| 23:23.59 | sney | rebooting will tell you for sure if this system is persistently broken, or if something leaked and filled all of your ram |

| 23:25.52 | Jasperw | zsh: Input/output error: journalctl |
| 23:26.06 | petn-randall | sney: If a process has memory leaks the OOM would just kill it. You wouldn't get segfaults like that. It's either the root disk is gone or the RAM has bitflips. |
| 23:26.15 | petn-randall | At least those are my current guesses. |
| 23:26.40 | Jasperw | my guess is root has mostly gone, and something importand isn't in the fs cache that stops some things running |
| 23:26.53 | sney | it's been a long time since I've seen it irl, but I'm *pretty sure* that I've had a system catastrophically run out out of memory and behave like this at least once |
| 23:26.53 | Jasperw | things that are in cache work, but it can't hit the disk for new stuff |
| 23:27.22 | Jasperw | IF it was some kernel data structure then aiui the oom killer wouldn't hit it |
| 23:27.31 | sney | anyway: it's pretty useless as is, and "will this boot?" is an important troubleshooting step |
| 23:27.35 | petn-randall | Jasperw: You could run `echo b > /procy/sysrqtrigger`, but - surprise! - you need root for that. So I'd trigger a hard reset remotely via your provider. |
| 23:28.33 | petn-randall | `echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger` ... so many typos. :S |

| 23:41.11 | jelly | Jasperw, see if you can see how the disk fell off the bus in dmesg |
| 23:41.51 | jelly | <Jasperw> can't run dmesg as non-root user # ahahaha, "security" feature |
| 23:43.35 | Jasperw | The box has freaked out before I really need to replace it |
| 23:44.13 | jelly | if it boots next time, keep a root shell inside screen or tmux |
| 23:44.33 | Jasperw | zsh: Input/output error: tmux |
| 23:44.34 | Jasperw | :/ |
| 23:44.47 | Jasperw | I think I need busybox-static on it |
| 23:45.02 | jelly | next time. |
| 23:45.08 | Jasperw | iirc some distro's have a staticly linked /rescue or something |
| 23:45.45 | sney | some kind of OOB/LOM board might be a good idea in the future too |
| 23:45.46 | jelly | you said you can't sudo or su, so unless you got a handy local root exploit that works without a disk |

| 23:46.08 | Jasperw | I may be able to ssh things to it |
| 23:46.16 | Jasperw | and /run etc should still be writable |
| 23:46.43 | Jasperw | wierd, /tmp is read-only |
