IRC log for #devuan on 20181125

00:04.40XenguyNot sure about that.  Just upgrading to 'stable' myself, and trying to get things reconfigured etc.
00:04.45Xenguyesr ^^
00:06.24esrXenguy: The window of opportuity has passed unless and until I get another NUC - that one is my wife's desk PC now, running Mint and No To Be Disturbed.
00:06.53XenguyAny home network has its politics : -)
00:07.03armin:D
00:07.32arminmy girlfriends laptop runs kde neon, she would kill me if i manage to break it
00:07.44XenguyI have no idea, for example, how I kept my wife and child *trapped* on GNU/Linux for so long 8 -D
00:08.30esrI might re-image my mailserver though. Presently running Ubuntu on a generic fanless brick called a Jetway.  I have another Jetway where the Devuan install was uneventful so that ought to be OK.
00:08.31XenguyEventually they both broke 'free'
00:08.44arminalso, hi esr, i read the backlog but i'm a bit unsure what "couldn't see the NIC" meant. does it appear in lspci/lsusb?
00:09.06Xenguyesr: I want to try one of these 'fanless' units sometime
00:09.41Xenguyesr: Would one of those be suitable as a router/gateway ?
00:09.50Xenguye.g. low power usage etc. ?
00:09.51esrAppears in lspci but presents a type/subtype pair the kernel doesn't recognize.
00:10.07esrXenguy: Yes, very much so.

00:11.08XenguyHot diggity
00:12.01esrI just decomissioned the last tower in my house other than the Great Beast (my repository-surgery monster hot rod), which is a special case.  They've all been replaces by comoute bricks.
00:12.12esr*compur bricks.
00:12.13arminesr: i believe it's because devuan tends to be free and not to include some binary blobs drivers, but i could be wrong.
00:12.20XenguyTOMEGA ?
00:12.47esrarmin: Nah, it's rhe e100 driver.  There was just a missing alias.
00:12.57esre1000 I mean.
00:13.09arminesr: ah, yes, you mentioned that earlier already, my bad.
00:13.49arminesr: out of curiosity: are you currently using a mechanical keyboard?
00:14.08esrXenguy: Yup, To Mega Therion. Semi-custom hardware optimized for high banwudth to memory.
00:14.27XenguyAwesome, cheers
00:14.27esrarmin: Sure am. Model M all the way, baby!
00:14.35armin:D

00:16.14esrSo yeah I'm going all compute bricky except for the Beast and (I hope) all Devuan.  Well, I may not get to re-image minx (my wife's NUC) for a while.
00:16.52arminwhat's "The Beast"?
00:18.34esrarmin: Semi-custom PC optimized for high bandwidth and max single-core speed.  It's job is basically to do graph-yjeory computations on data sets many gigabytes wide.  Surgery on version-control repositories.
00:19.00arminInteresting. :-)
00:19.06esrVery.
00:19.47esrIt's the macine I moved the Wmacs history from bzr to git on, among other things.
00:19.57esrWmacs -> Emacs.
00:21.28arminnow i have to keep thinking of "the cathedral and the git".
00:21.36esr:-)
00:22.18esrPfesently ranslating reposurgeon to Go because Python hit a performance wall.
00:22.31esrAm liking Go a lot recently.
00:24.44arminesr: I actually implemented a shell prompt builder for ZSH in python once that I rebuilt in Go because of this. My implementation is conceptionally questionable though, wherein every time I hit the return key the prompt is being re-rendered, hence firing up a full blown python interpreter every time you hit Return on the shell. After I rewrote that in Go, I had to increase my keyboard repeat rate madly to hit
00:24.45arminthe race condition with the Go ELF binary.
00:25.27arminSo, yeah, the Go implementation is MUCH faster.
00:26.29esrExpecting at least 10x gain on my workload, but there's reason to suspect it might be up to 40x.
00:32.10arminesr: I can just say that in my personal experience the Go program was 6x faster than the Python correspondent. :)
00:32.36arminBut hey, that probably varies strongly about actual use-cases.
00:36.15arminOh. Seems like Masachuchetts is a good place for fast typing. Sean Wrona seems to be from there, too.
00:41.26esrI was born in Mass but don'rt live there.  Southeastern PA

06:55.45boo_booI am honoured to share a distribution with such a great man.
06:57.22boo_booAlso helped me IRL with his sex tips page. I was a loser before I read http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/sextips/ and never really understood how women wanted to be treated both in bed and outside of it. Now I have a wife and 4 kids and already shared my bed with 3 women besides her. Also using Devuan at work and digging it
06:57.33boo_booHis greatest work has been that page, really.

17:40.18filipdevuan_hi i installed openbox today and so far so good battery life is much longer however i wonder if there any nice tips for preserving battery life apart from using battery demanding apps
17:40.29filipdevuan_apart from not using*
17:43.38KatolaZfilipdevuan_: keeping your laptop off will help :P
17:44.45filipdevuan_yeah its hard but will try read more books ;P
17:45.18*** join/#devuan alexandros_c (~quassel@unaffiliated/alexandros-c/x-1684531)
17:58.07gnarfacefilipdevuan_: lower screen brightness, put kernel cpu frequency governor in powersave mode, and remount temporary and cache directories as tmpfs...
17:58.56gnarfacedunno if it'll spin the harddrive down by default or not but worth looking into that too
17:59.12gnarfaceand you can tune the commit intervals on some filesystems too
17:59.50gnarfacethe only thing that is gonna be worth more than half a percent or so is the cpu frequency governor
18:00.01gnarface(probably)
18:00.16gnarfacewell, the screen brightness might be a lot too, if you have it cranked way up
18:00.56gnarfaceyou can change out your desktop themes for dark stuff to save a bit more power in theory, i dunno if that's true for all hardware though
18:01.26gnarfacefor some stuff at least, they say black costs less battery power than white
18:03.20rwpWith OLED displays where every pixel is an LED it is the bright pixels that use power.  Dark ones much less power.
18:03.49rwpI would always swap out a spinning drive for an SSD in a mobile laptop these days.
18:04.49gnarfaceoh, yea if you're spending money on it you can probably lower the battery cost of the fans by re-applying the thermal paste
18:05.07gnarfacethat'll lower operating temperatures which in turn should lower fan speeds
18:05.21gnarfacethat might be getting a little crazy though
18:05.26filipdevuan_yeah my brightness is ok
18:05.41filipdevuan_lowering in all the time but not because of battery but because of my eyes ;D
18:05.54filipdevuan_i quite enjoy openbox, xfce is quite boring
18:06.11filipdevuan_i managed to get tint2 now taskbar is it
18:06.54rwpYou might want to look at the 'tlp' tool.
18:08.06filipdevuan_oh yeah downloading it now
18:08.29filipdevuan_btw i uninstalled pulseaudio and java apps stopped play sound i have no idea why :/
18:08.48gnarfacei'd think there's a way around that
18:09.19gnarfacemight require some java-specific knowledge to re-assign alsa or oss as the audio device
18:09.28gnarfacesome environment variable maybe

18:17.16filipdevuan_im so bored with this proprietary games id love to find some nice open source games where for example i can create magician and conquer evil
18:21.46filipdevuan_btw what really irritates me atm is when i put audio cd to laptop i use alsaplayer to play it and then when i put another cd it wont detect it either in vlc that is annoying very much and i dont know why something like that happens
18:22.19filipdevuan_if i reset laptop then it detects it again but it seems like os stucks at first cd i put and then second one is unplayable :(
18:23.56furrywolfpeople still own CDs?  :)
18:26.42filipdevuan_why not?
18:27.06filipdevuan_i have tapes, vinyls, cds, is something wrong with it??
18:28.22furrywolfI got rid of all my physical media a while ago...  my entire bookshelf of vinyl fills a fraction of a thumbdrive.
18:30.25filipdevuan_and why did u get rid of all media
18:30.44furrywolfbecause I'd much rather fill half my house with something else.

18:37.40furrywolfalso, much of my vinyl, and all of my tapes, failed.
18:38.05furrywolfvinyl fails a little more every time you play it...  and tapes fail even sitting untouched.
18:38.56furrywolfI never really had a CD collection, but my CD-Rs have failed too...  every one of them.  obviously, of course, factory-made CDs don't have the same issues.

18:42.43filipdevuan_well i prefer to have physical copy of music digital music is not nice speaking digital depeche mode songs will never sound like straight from vinyls no matter what so from my point of view i can say you have no music since there are files with sounds on your thumbdrive, but its not music just compressed sounds and your history about music didnt solve my problem with alsaplayer and reading CD's after i deleted

19:05.36filipdevuan_seriously i think listening do mp3s flacs or .wavs is for posers
19:05.47filipdevuan_its what kills music industry
19:06.17filipdevuan_theres snothing like having physical copy or something that you own you may lose your thumbdrive much easier than you would your cds
19:06.31filipdevuan_and if u havent got enough room for cds then perhaps you should buy bigger house
19:07.25filipdevuan_and i assure you listening to digital mps3 or .wavs will never be like listening to something straighjt from cd, and why you still contunue on this topic, its OF

19:11.32saptechI have an ext. hdd with 2 partitions on it, one ext4 & one with ntfs. When I log in, I noticed they are both mounted and available for normal user
19:11.46saptechWhat causes this to happen?
19:12.47saptechI recently installed another distro but can't get the same behavior with the new distro
19:12.52poeinklumKatolaZ: Yes, it does work
19:13.05poeinklumNo crashes or strange behavior as far as the UI is concerned
19:13.14KatolaZpoeinklum: great
19:13.39poeinklumKatolaZ: It's essentially stderr junk (unless there's something I'm missing)
19:14.02KatolaZit's easy to see if it's stderr junk :)
19:25.43filipdevuan_btw i have question maybe OT is there any chance for example lets say i wanna create website but i dont wanna appear on google results (dont wanna be on their servers) is it even possible nowadays or every website has to be on google no matter what??
19:28.10Pr0metheusfilipdevuan_ check https://petermeadit.com/blog/block-web-crawlers/
19:28.26filipdevuan_thank you :)

19:33.32Pr0metheusanyone knows in C++ how I can properly use the new operator without messing with the overcommit settings?
19:34.17KatolaZPr0metheus: OT here, please
19:35.40Pr0metheusOT?
19:36.40booyahPr0metheus: sounds like a question for ##c++
19:36.42KatolaZOff-Topic
19:36.54KatolaZthis is a channel dedicated to Devuan
19:38.31Pr0metheuswell I already tried it on C++ but the problem is that it is a cross-topic because it is linux specific. The kernel has an overcommit feature, that means you want to allocate memory and it says OK i've done although this memory might not even exist at all!
19:39.46Pr0metheusanyway I'll try on another channel:P
19:40.27furrywolfmy approach is to not worry about it, and don't allocate more memory than I plan to actually use.
19:41.53Pr0metheusfurrywolf, good approach but in my case I need to invert some 100,000 x 100,000 matrices:P
19:43.05furrywolfit doesn't affect whether your operation works or not...  just whether it fails at allocation time or fails sometime in the middle of running.
19:44.37furrywolfI've never had to invert a matrix that big...  in fact, the only matrix inversion code I've written is hardcoded for 4x4.  lol
19:45.20KatolaZPr0metheus: this is not a Linux kernel channel, please
19:45.38KatolaZor a linux programming one
19:45.41KatolaZ:\
19:48.20golinuxKatolaZ: It's nearly impossible to herd the cats on this channel
19:48.34furrywolfwell duh, most of us aren't cats.  :)
19:48.35golinuxThey blather on and on OT
19:48.54golinuxalmost included wolves
19:49.34golinuxIf the chatter here indicates the state of Devuan, we're in trouble
19:52.49filipdevuan_sorry i sent a message where i said i have a problem with alsa and mounting audio cd's and furrywolf started offtopic with asking me who buys cd's nowadays :/
19:53.21KatolaZfilipdevuan_: np :)
19:54.52furrywolfI don't know if discussing the linux kernel counts as blathering...  off-topic, but it's still something worth of discussion somewhere.
19:55.46furrywolfbbl, back to building shelves
19:56.07KatolaZfurrywolf: it was not eve the linux kernel :D
19:56.36*** part/#devuan mmaglis (~user@p5DDB077A.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
19:59.38Pr0metheuswell the state of Devuan, I happily switched to Devuan and things are working fine, got rid of systemd made my system work faster and smoother, but I am generally concerned for how much longer we will be able to hac k this and how easy it will be as the kernel is already under control of companies and soon IBM will join the party
20:00.18KatolaZPr0metheus: according to the well-informed, Devuan should have disappeared 3.5 years ago
20:00.23KatolaZand it's still here
20:00.36KatolaZhow many years do you need before stopping being skeptical? :)
20:00.39KatolaZhow many releases>
20:00.41KatolaZ?
20:00.42KatolaZ:)
20:01.23Pr0metheusI don't know, I haven't found info on how many developers devuan has
20:01.47KatolaZPr0metheus: how woudl that change your opinion? :)
20:01.58filipdevuan_why would even devuan disappear??
20:02.03KatolaZhttps://devuan.org/os/team/
20:02.07KatolaZPr0metheus: ^^
20:03.34Pr0metheuswell if I wanted to dominate linux and this seems to be the case with all those integrated -d stuff (systemd, etc) I would integrate it in more and more packages. I don't think any team can compete the corporate resources of multinational companies
20:03.59KatolaZPr0metheus: this has not happened as yet
20:04.40Pr0metheustrue, but I wouldn't spend 20 billions if I didn't intend to move deeper
20:04.53KatolaZbah, cheap talk :)
20:05.12KatolaZif you care about Devuan existing, help Devuan
20:05.16filipdevuan_well who said that newer packages gonna be better than the old ones
20:05.41KatolaZspeculations won't save the world
20:05.44KatolaZwill just make you sad
20:05.55KatolaZthe only way to change the future is to act now
20:06.24filipdevuan_the truth is if devuan is going to disappear its gonna be not because of rich companies but because of linux users who use systemd distributions and accept what they're being given
20:06.42KatolaZfilipdevuan_: then Devuan is not going to disappear
20:06.59KatolaZsince there are a lot of Linux users that do not accept what they have been given
20:07.04filipdevuan_yeah i think huge companies wouldn't have that much power without users
20:07.09filipdevuan_and customers
20:07.15KatolaZand do something to keep the ball rolling ;)
20:08.14Pr0metheusI did, replaced my 2 debians with devuan:P
20:08.40Pr0metheusI also replaced the kernel with the linux-libre kernel
20:08.43filipdevuan_i dont know i found website boykott systemd and i dislike google and they said systemd sets google dns by default so that was the thing that decided for me to try nonsystemd distro and devuan has graphical installer so i just installed it and im still on it im not really experienced linux user lol
20:09.03filipdevuan_oh and is linux libre any different or better
20:09.23KatolaZfilipdevuan_: the stock kernel from Debian *is* a libre kernel
20:09.30KatolaZunless you install non-free firmware
20:09.37filipdevuan_okay :>
20:09.53Pr0metheuslol, that's why I didn't see a difference:P
20:10.00filipdevuan_im scared of google so that google dns just freaked me out...
20:10.26KatolaZPr0metheus: the main difference is that the libre-linux kernel does not allow to load non-free firmware at all
20:10.50KatolaZbut the Debian kernel is completely free
20:11.00KatolaZ(if you just use 'main')
20:11.31Pr0metheuswell filip you cannot hide:P I read the article about ssh backdoor and all the probably hidden 'bugs' and it is very discouraging
20:12.23filipdevuan_at least i don't use google as search engine and i don't go on youtube at all. i also avoid google recaptchas on websites as much as i can.
20:12.51filipdevuan_and i also dont use systemd distros because theyre google dns not all of them but arch distros manjaro or antergos are google dns
20:13.32filipdevuan_i dont wanna contribute to their billions of dollars while i am poor and watching youtube or googling doesnt make me richer person
20:14.12Pr0metheusso you don't have a cell phone?
20:14.21golinuxI don't
20:14.26Pr0metheusreally?
20:14.30golinuxI refuse to go there.
20:14.39filipdevuan_nah i dont have a smartphone as well
20:14.56filipdevuan_i mean android or apple
20:15.16Pr0metheusso you guys never check mail while on the move?
20:15.17golinuxWell I do have an old filp phone in the car that I can use for 911 if I get stranded.
20:15.34golinuxBut it's not connected to an account
20:15.43filipdevuan_what makes you think that gmail is the only e-mail provider??
20:15.59golinuxI'm rarely on the move
20:16.16filipdevuan_same with me i spent most of my existence on the computer

20:21.02filipdevuan_i wish i had a laptop made in europe though or made in england why is it all chinese :(
20:21.09Pr0metheusbut in any case, you can never be sure that all the rest of the software or hardware you use does not include backdoors

20:23.04filipdevuan_yeah well... i don't think google results are great and also youtube is brainwashing. i used to go on youtube to listen to music but now when i realised that there's something like better sound than this from streaming services i don't go on there anymore
20:23.21filipdevuan_im simply scared
20:24.12Pr0metheuswell if you read about the motherboards that had spying software installed and the western digital hard disks sold in saudi arabia that also had this kind of software you wouldn't own a computer:P

22:25.58filipdevuan_ohh wow
22:26.14filipdevuan_nice to see you :D
22:26.40filipdevuan_what does it mean when user has blue dot by his nickname on the list??
22:27.20*** join/#devuan saptech (~saptech@unaffiliated/saptech)
22:27.22furrywolfit means you're using an IRC client that shows things with colored dots instead of anything standard that anyone else would know what it is.  lol

22:47.24rwpfilipdevuan_, It means that a user has been explicitly voiced and can speak in the channel even if +m is set in the channel.
22:49.01xrogaanI've got the power!
22:51.59rwpIt's either that or that funky thing xchat does that sets one of the user modes and displays the same way. :-)
22:53.09furrywolfhas never used a client that shows voice as anything other than a +
22:55.26Xenguyfilipdevuan_: re: blue dot: It means there is no spoon
22:55.38Xenguyloves cryptic...
22:57.48furrywolflol
22:58.04Xenguy8 -D
23:00.35MinceRiirc xchat uses colored dots (iirc yellow for voice) and kvirc uses letter icons (v for voice)
23:01.14furrywolfyes, because let's totally ignore the + that's been standard forever...
23:01.58XenguyYep
23:02.11XenguyBut that's progress
23:03.06Xenguyer, for ya
23:03.26furrywolfjust because something is change doesn't necessary mean it's better.  :)
23:04.49Xenguye.g. systemd ! : )
23:05.20xrogaanyou can untick "use icon instead of text" in the user list preference thing.
