[00:22:35] <chromas> There's even a movie named after it
[00:23:58] <Runaway1956> Wow, man, that's awesome . they write songs about me, but no movies. I am envious.

[10:22:12] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Sup
[10:22:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> blerg. i don't wanna figure out pagination for the new comment pulling method.
[10:24:28] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Yeah, not having fun rewriting a big chunk of the repo system for packrat, after I discovered my design was fundamentally flawed.
[10:25:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> ours ain't so much flawed as "scales horribly"
[10:26:13] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Scaling was precisely the problem with Packrat's repo system. It handled multiple repositories incredibly poorly.
[10:26:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> comments just handle >50 comment stories incredibly badly.
[10:27:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> cause they pull every single comment and then drop the ones they don't want.
[10:28:05] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Me thinks that it'll be a pain to fix that
[10:29:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> surprisingly no.
[10:30:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> what i did was add an opid (original parent) field to every comment and a children field. now you can pick just the top level comments easily and find out how many children they have under them.
[10:31:59] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Smart. Well done. Because I don't understand Slash architecture too well, I suppose it's somewhat difficult for me to gauge things.
[10:32:16] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Will you need to add that field to every comment on the entire site?
[10:32:29] <Subsentient> if so, how will you autocalculate it?
[10:32:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> sure but that's no biggie. we can leave it null for old stories and let them render the old way.
[10:33:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> added a legacy flag to the discussion table
[10:35:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> i spose i could have written a script to run through and look at the `parent` field on each comment and add them up that way but there's no need. let the old stuff stay slow.

[11:00:47] <Bytram> hmmm opid? interesting.
[11:01:57] <Bytram> must be too early in the AM... how do we find a comment's children normally?
[11:03:38] <Bytram> there's comments.cid which is int(10) unsigned primary key and... it CAN be null? huh!
[11:04:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> very slowly. we cycle through every single comment and attach it to its parent.
[11:04:35] <Bytram> pid? is that the parent id?
[11:04:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar
[11:04:54] <Bytram> k
[11:05:02] <Bytram> so what would be different between pid and opid?
[11:05:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> opid is original parent id or original poster id. it's the same for every member of a thread except the top level comment for which it's 0
[11:07:08] <Bytram> oh... 'original' -- not as in a temporal sense this is what the pid was at the begining before we [may have] updated it...
[11:07:17] <Bytram> but instead, more like a 'root' pid
[11:07:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> roger
[11:07:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> what top level comment does this comment belong to
[11:07:43] <Bytram> so, a crid? comment root id?
[11:07:51] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs

[11:08:42] <Bytram> great commercials, so so cartoon, untasty breakfast cereal
[11:09:42] <Bytram> well, given the possible misinterpretation of 'original'...
[11:09:54] <Bytram> and 'root' has a clear meaning in *nix
[11:10:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't matter what it stands for. it's opid.
[11:10:02] <Bytram> and other os's for that matter

[11:11:31] <Bytram> PSA: https://blogs.securiteam.com
[11:11:33] <Wesley> ^ 03( https://blogs.securiteam.com )
[11:11:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> the slowness was, even if you were only showing ten comments, we built the entire comment tree every single time.
[11:11:58] <Bytram> nod nod
[11:12:16] <Bytram> btw, do we rebuild the moderation drop down list every single time?
[11:12:37] <Bytram> if we do, that would be a HUGE time sink
[11:13:19] <Bytram> should only need to compute the HTML once per story/journal/tree
[11:13:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> we rebuild the entire single comment layout every single time
[11:13:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> we have to. it changes between comments.
[11:14:13] <Bytram> what could change?
[11:14:26] * Bytram is confused
[11:14:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> the comment score. if the moderation stuff shows at all. the username. the star beside it. the uid. the cid. the ipid/subnetid
[11:15:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> whether to close the div because we have no children
[11:15:41] <Bytram> Oh, I understand the need for those... I'm strictly talking about the moderation drop-down list box.
[11:15:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> it doesn't always show
[11:15:58] <Bytram> +1 interesting, +1 informative, etc
[11:16:54] <Bytram> only time I could possibly think of it not showing would be if I already moderated that comment
[11:16:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's an easy bit. one db call and some very simple arrangement. the templates are what is really eating our ass.
[11:16:59] <Bytram> and even then, there's a chreck for that
[11:17:10] <Bytram> right
[11:17:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> or if it's your comment. or if it's from the same subnet id
[11:17:33] <Bytram> I was just thinking if there is a template to create the moderation drop down list box, we've got a huge performance hit right there
[11:18:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> we're gonna go from template to hardcoded for comment rendering only. see how it performs.
[11:18:05] <Bytram> should be computed just once, at the entry to creating the comment tree, and then used as needede.
[11:18:14] <Bytram> *needed or not.
[11:18:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't be computed just once.
[11:19:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> we can do it without regexing the values in though.
[11:19:54] <Bytram> just once per comment TREE -- i.e. to load a story and all its comments... construct the html at the outset, and then use it (or not) on each of the comments
[11:20:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't be done.
[11:21:12] <Bytram> well, I don't understand that, but I'm also at a very undercaffienated level atm
[11:21:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> we can construct it once period and have it in the source but if we call it from a template there's only the one way to do it.
[11:21:49] <Bytram> templates can take parameters
[11:22:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> they're also slow as hell.
[11:22:40] <Bytram> I guess I'll just have to relook at the code and refresh my memory
[11:22:48] <Bytram> that's gonna need more
[11:22:49] <Bytram> coffee++
[11:22:49] <Bender> karma - coffee: 2715
[11:22:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> rendering a template is massively slower than concatenating some strings.
[11:22:57] <Bytram> agreed!
[11:23:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> even if they have the same arguments
[11:23:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> smoke break
[11:23:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> nicotine++
[11:23:45] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 83
[11:23:47] <Bytram> hence, I was thinking the more we can unroll code in the innermost processing (like rendering a single comment) what can we generalize from that and put at the outset, instead of evry single time we render a comment
[11:24:01] <Bytram> drop down list seemed obvious, if we were not doing that already
[11:24:06] <Bytram> yep, break time.

[11:35:35] <Bytram> Vulnerability Description
[11:35:35] <Bytram> A vulnerability in the way wget handles redirects allows attackers that are able to hijack a connection initiated by wget or compromise a server from which wget is downloading files from, would allow them to cause the user running wget to execute arbitrary commands. The commands are executed with the privileges with which wget is running. This could prove to be quite severe when wget is launched as ‘root’.
[11:35:35] <Bytram> Vulnerable Version
[11:35:35] <Bytram> Wget version 1.17 and prior
[11:35:53] * Bytram checks his ubuntu vm
[11:36:24] <Bytram> GNU Wget 1.15 built on linux-gnu.

[11:41:12] <boru> On a serious note, though, the update hit the ports tree very shortly after the fix went out.

[12:32:38] <Bytram> btw, what reader do YOU use?
[12:33:02] * Bytram prefers SumatraPDF
[12:43:45] <boru> qpdfviewer and epdfviewer are nice and light, I find. Far lower deps than all other readers, bar, perhaps xpdf or some of those basic rendering programs.
[12:44:06] <boru> Err, epdfview, I think.
[12:44:53] <boru> The former has dockable panes, which I appreciate greatly, for things like putting the ToC at the top or bottom of the screen when reading datasheets on a vertical monitor.
[12:45:14] <Bytram> looks like the breakout thingy requires chrome?
[12:46:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> pdfs are teh debil
[12:47:08] <boru> Indeed. Real Men™ typeset with troff.
[12:50:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> real men don't typeset. they allow the user to display it on their screen as fits their level of blindness and artistic sensibilities.

[12:51:06] <sedctl> <Bytram> <TheMightyBuzzard> real men don't typeset. they allow the user to display it on their screen as fits their level of blindness and autistic sensibilities.

[12:58:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> i like liberty in the layout of what i'm reading not fascism

[12:59:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> which is a valid position but it's going to be Comic Sans you get. never forget corruption.
[13:00:05] <boru> Not Comic Sans!

[13:07:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm, i could calculate the number of pages off the initial pull of top-level comments and their children value and pass that on to the pagination sub
[13:08:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> it'd definitely save some processing power

[13:56:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> you should make it run a bot
[14:02:57] <Subsentient> I really wish I could get the money to make a phone out of it. I have all the components I'll need chosen. I would make a nice polished wood case for it.
[14:03:06] <Subsentient> Any takers? I'll make you one. :^)
[14:03:14] <Subsentient> Pay for mine, I build yours :^D
[14:03:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> Can you make one that looks like a Star Trek (original series) communicator from the outside?
[14:03:53] <Subsentient> I dunno, maybe.
[14:04:00] <Subsentient> Probably not, let's be real.
[14:04:18] <Subsentient> I was planning on making a nice treated wood case for each one, with a hinge to fold out
[14:04:40] <Subsentient> it'd have a touchscreen but also a tiny keyboard
[14:05:16] <Subsentient> I'd use the little guy you just saw in that link as the base system
[14:05:30] <Subsentient> and because the screen I'm using will be USB based, I plan to have an option to use the phone as a mini monitor.
[14:06:29] <Subsentient> It'll also have Wifi, 3G GSM capability, and the best part... I'll probably want to do coding on it, so I'd definitely make that possible.
[14:07:09] <Subsentient> (they don't make a 4G GSM module yet)
[14:07:28] <Subsentient> (not one capable of phone calls
[14:08:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> My friend Bryan made a "DIY cell phone" based on the instructions from the guy at MIT that originally designed and created it.
[14:08:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> It's pretty basic but it's definitely functional (as in, he's made and received phone calls from it)
[14:09:30] <AndyTheAbsurd> and the module it uses can also send and receive text messages (we did that with an Arduino shield using the same module as part of a demo we were working on)
[14:10:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> and I believe that module (SIM800) also supported 2G data and there's a newer version of it out but I don't remember the part number.
[14:10:35] <Subsentient> yeah. this thing would use fucking XFCE.
[14:10:47] <Subsentient> Full-blown desktop linux on your phone, with a keyboard.
[14:11:56] <chromas> Thick phone though. That'll probably be trendy in a couple years when people start getting paper cuts from their thin phones
[14:12:17] <Subsentient> lol
[14:12:23] <Subsentient> nah not necessarily.
[14:12:30] * chromas invents the cubephone
[14:12:30] <Subsentient> I could probably keep the size down
[14:13:47] <chromas> the ethernet port alone is thicker than my phone
[14:13:57] <chromas> break it off!
[14:14:41] <Subsentient> lol
[14:14:50] <Subsentient> nah I'd like having a phone that can do ethernet
[14:14:55] <Subsentient> I could also use a Pi Zero as the base
[14:14:59] <Subsentient> but bleh
[14:15:05] <chromas> do a kuckstarter for it

[14:15:38] <Subsentient> I was gonna use 2 of them per phone

[14:18:31] <chromas> the resolution's high enough to play descent
[14:19:21] <Subsentient> chromas: Well the low resolution is why I wanted to put two per phone
[14:19:50] <Subsentient> chromas: Or here's another idea, put two right next to each other on the same panel, then put the board in the bottom with a tiny keyboard
[14:22:02] <chromas> zig zag folds like a wallet
[14:22:41] <chromas> then I can daisy chain as many displays as I want

[16:52:47] <cmn32480> it happened once... back in the late 1990's.
[16:53:56] <mechanicjay> says an admin will give me an initial password
[16:54:53] <mrcoolbp> that would be Deuc or PJ
[16:55:21] <mrcoolbp> they've both been pinged
[16:55:29] <mechanicjay> mrcoolbp: you da man.
[16:55:33] <cmn32480> the rest of us are lowly cogs in the wheels that are SoylentNews
[16:55:59] <mrcoolbp> meh I have a bunch of titles but no real power = (
[16:56:29] <cmn32480> says the guy on the board
[16:56:32] <mrcoolbp> lol yah
[16:56:47] <cmn32480> in the end you have all the power
[16:56:51] <cmn32480> you control the wallet!
[16:57:05] <mrcoolbp> we don't really do much on the board, and I'm beholden to y'all if I do stuff with monies
[16:57:36] <mrcoolbp> I'm the arm, not the brain so to speak
[16:57:56] <mrcoolbp> we are all collectively the brain IMO (even the "Public")
[16:57:58] <cmn32480> speaking of wallet.. can the editors get a cost of living increase?
[16:58:11] <mrcoolbp> sure, million-percent raises all around
[16:58:16] <cmn32480> WOO HOO!

[16:59:10] <cmn32480> he whacked another kid over the head with the capture the flag pole
[16:59:23] <mrcoolbp> I got kicked out of scouts 'cause I ate a brownie
[16:59:52] <cmn32480> I got yelled at for making that joke in a poll you insensitive clod!
[17:00:03] <mrcoolbp> hah yeah I vaugely recall

[20:34:37] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: if a user replcaes the "20.00" in a 365-day subscription, with, say, 40.00, does htat mean they get TWO years?
[20:35:24] <shamu> bytram kay
[20:35:46] <Bytram> I just got a 503 on SN
[20:35:56] <Bytram> looks like we may be having server problems....
[20:36:00] * Bytram goes to look
[20:36:01] <GungnirSniper> Yep, same here, reported to #dev.
[20:36:32] <shamu> Ok ... so I changed the 20 to 200 in the 365, then clicked 'continue', then it couldn't find that subscription type and I lost my CSS
[20:36:40] <Runaway1956> to much javascript?
[20:36:42] <shamu> I *really* doubt they were related, but ... ?
[20:36:50] <Runaway1956> NOTE: that was meant to be funny, ha ha

[20:43:09] <shamu> I did it twice and it stopped responding

[21:30:58] <Bytram> that IS a router, right?
[21:31:17] <Bytram> may be worth looking into flashing a differnt firmware on it.
[21:31:42] <SirFinkus> yeah
[21:31:50] <SirFinkus> other than that, it seems to be pretty cool
[21:32:00] <SirFinkus> and you can slap ddwrt on it anyway
