[00:29:48] <Bytram> FatPhil: Interesting! I just today ran into a problem with my prior D/L of yourtube-dl, so went off to get a newer version. Looks like they may have moved where the files lived. I just thought it was my upgrade script that I had not yet fully/completely fleshed out. Now I think *they* changed something.

[05:21:16] <FatPhil> Bytram: the weird thing is that I'm clearly contacting a remote server in order to find out what version is the most recent: Updating to version 2019.08.02 ...
[05:21:19] <FatPhil> ERROR: unable to download latest version
[05:30:13] <FatPhil> a quick wget of https://youtube-dl.org solves the issues that were causing me to want to upgrade.
[05:43:46] <inz> Does it fix the -U too?
[05:47:30] <FatPhil> Well, today's hardly the best day to test that feature: youtube-dl is up-to-date (2019.08.02)
[05:51:58] <inz> that would be a hinderance, yes.
[05:52:15] <chromas> it's trying to update itself?
[05:57:42] <inz> FatPhil, it is quite weird that it would fail at that point, it already means that it has received the latest version info and list of versions from the same server, but for some reason fails to download the update itself (unless you have some strict memory limits for python :)
[06:28:53] <FatPhil> version info comes from lightweight server, package comes from flakey CDN?
[06:29:22] <FatPhil> chromas: nope, I explicitly invoked it with -U
[06:30:29] <FatPhil> teh internets indicated that -U was failing in 2016 because of a DoS
[06:31:10] <FatPhil> google's shit nowadays - 8 of the top 10 hits didn't contain the error message I'd put in quotes in my search.
[06:33:57] <inz> Yeah, and often it "helpfully" strips the quotes from the search string.
[06:34:07] <chromas> Trya plus before the quotes
[06:34:15] <inz> Because irrelevant search results are better than no search results

[08:23:48] <FatPhil> I don't know browsh
[08:24:30] <FatPhil> not in debian :(
[08:24:31] <inz> I didn't either until an hour-or-so ago
[08:25:06] <inz> Nope, you can get a .deb from the github page though (I take no responsibility if it roots your box)

[12:15:02] <FatPhil> Grrrr - linux is still a toy operating system: "STAT: D uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)"
[12:16:32] <FatPhil> dear 27-year-old kernel - you're able to still run, how about you kill that nice little task for me, I don't care about whatever networked resource it's failing to access currently.

[12:55:31] <Bytram> #weather deactur
[12:55:39] <Bytram> #weather decatur
[12:57:15] <FatPhil> ah, actually, it's worse than nfs - it's fuse.sshfs. I mounted my work home directory from a computer in the office, as I prefer to work from home.
[12:58:20] <FatPhil> It's now back so the timeout seems to be over 10 minutes.
[12:59:04] <Bytram> fsck?
[12:59:27] <FatPhil> the crazy thing is that the process that locks up - palemoon - has about 40 freaking threads. But one tab wants to read /net/homes/phil/... and the whole browser locks up
[13:00:16] <Bytram> yep. AFAIK, Pale Moon is still single process for all tabs.
[13:00:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> Last I looked, it was, and Moonchild felt the overhead of multiprocess wasn't worthwhile.
[13:00:46] <FatPhil> fuse.sshfs is as flaky as fuck, I wish there was an alternative secure networked FS that coped with unreliable lower layers.
[13:01:57] <FatPhil> pstree -p shows 25 threads, so he's not averse to the general concept, he just doesn't want to protect his lightweight processes from each other.
[13:02:10] <Bytram> haven't used it, and this was years ago, but I seem to recall that the work environment that starts everything with the letter K had a way to mount pretty much everything as a filesystem?
[13:02:54] <Bytram> e.g. mount an FTP site as a drive and you could copy files up and down as if they were local.
[13:02:55] <FatPhil> Gnome has that kind of setup, I know. I don't do any of those "desktop environment" things.
[13:03:12] <FatPhil> sshfs just uses sftp as a transport
[13:03:20] <Bytram> yeah, coulda been Gnome. As I said I never used it; just remember reading about it.
[13:03:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup but it uses the proper fs libs which hate anything being unreliable
[13:04:30] <FatPhil> i remember seeing some weird and wonderful packages on my debian that were pulled in by gnome-based programs, and I just freaking purged them.
[13:05:10] <FatPhil> No, a clock doesn't need to know about my network mounts, it needs to know how to create a create a window, read the time, and draw a window,
[13:05:12] * TheMightyBuzzard doesn't even attempt to use networked fses on anything not utterly reliable
[13:05:42] <FatPhil> I never bothered moving my home directory home when we moved from the old home (now the office) to the new home.
[13:06:09] <Bytram> rsync to local drive; do stuff; rsync back?
[13:06:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're pulling ~ from across the internet? are you mad?
[13:06:28] <FatPhil> I'm not quite doing that.
[13:06:33] <Bytram> at the moment I doubt he's very happy
[13:06:36] <Bytram> ;)
[13:06:44] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Florida University Graduation Blinky Hat Scare - http://sylnt.us - blinky-blowup
[13:07:03] <FatPhil> I'm sshing to the office, editing the files in ~ there, and then testing the results out by pointing the browser to the network mount.
[13:07:16] <FatPhil> the SSH is rock solid, it's the network mount that isn't.
[13:08:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's the "mount" part that's the problem. linux doesn't dig on unreliable things being filesystems.
[13:08:43] <FatPhil> I don't serve ~ over HTTP presently. That would be the simplest solution
[13:09:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> i stick with ssh and scp. overall, far fewer headaches.
[13:09:57] <FatPhil> yeah, I'm kinda making it difficult for myself...
[13:10:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> that often even includes going across the lan to my media server
[13:10:56] <FatPhil> g/f has the symmetric problem in the office - her ~ is lan, but her /net/media is fuse.sshfs to the home nas!
[13:11:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> nfs (or any networked fs): nice in theory, fucking pain in the ass in practice
[13:12:19] <Bytram> so how does one set up a reliable NAS?

[13:14:23] <FatPhil> bollocks, I just pointed gf/'s parents in the direction of the equifax class action
[13:15:37] <AndyTheAbsurd> Hopefully Equifax pays out enough that they just die
[13:16:10] <Bytram> nope
[13:16:24] <Bytram> it's a *settlement* with a predefined payout bucket.
[13:16:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> Damn
[13:16:46] <Bytram> amount each payee gets is payout bucket / count(payees)
[13:16:51] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - ASCII Table and History; Or, Why does Ctrl+i Insert a Tab in My Terminal? - http://sylnt.us - ASCII-and-you-will-receivii?
[13:17:04] <Bytram> IIRC atm it is less than $2
[13:17:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> Oh well, I already checked and my wife and I are getting a grand total of $0 from it anyway.
[13:18:13] <SemperOSS> I love the American judicial system where big companies can screw over little folks and get away with a soft slap on the hand. Why is it impossible to actually make them pay a reasonable amount to each affected person?
[13:18:39] <Bytram> bucket size was on the order of about $30M ($40M?) not sure, but compared to the number of affected payees (~100 millions) there was no way it would be any large payout to an individual
[13:18:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> $31 million according to the linked article
[13:19:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> and 147 million people affected
[13:19:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> 21 cents if everyone claims.
[13:20:06] <Bytram> what I would love to see is an insurance company step up and offer bronze/silver/gold plans (with increasingly large premiums) and with increasingly more stringent protections that would pay each affected data breach victim $10/$25/$50 (or somesuch)
[13:20:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> I hope almost everyone does, just because at that point it will cost Equifax more than $31 million to mail out the checks.
[13:20:36] <Bytram> they'll just take it out of the pool reducing even further the amount that the payees will get. :P
[13:20:44] <SemperOSS> AndyTheAbsurd: Hey, I was going to say that.
[13:20:47] * SemperOSS pouts
[13:20:56] <FatPhil> how many forests would need to be cut down for all the paper and envelopes?
[13:21:40] <SemperOSS> The better part of the Swedish rainforest
[13:21:43] <Bytram> further with my idea... insurance companies could advertise their *gold* coverage accounts and provide an external incentive for companies to upgrade their systems.
[13:22:10] <FatPhil> i think it would simple better to just nuke equifax from orbit
[13:22:24] <Bytram> and make it half-and-half; ins co pays only half of the pay-to-the-user amount.
[13:22:38] <Bytram> so there WOULD be skin in the game for the covered companies
[13:22:53] <SemperOSS> Yes, give them an excess that actually *hurts*
[13:23:10] <FatPhil> you anti-capitalist pigdogs!
[13:23:19] <Bytram> all it takes is a couple companies, like T-Mo, that brag how they provide such good coverage to their clients... why would you do business with anyone else?
[13:24:05] <Bytram> customers see: (a) 1 year credit protection (b) $$ cash payout... which company would I be incentivized to do business with?
[13:24:22] <SemperOSS> FatPhil, I used to be a good consumerist capitalist, but I seem to find more and more problems with the ethics these days (and no, not my own)
[13:24:58] <SemperOSS> Bytran, a + b!
[13:25:12] <Bytram> that would be the platinum plan!

[14:38:01] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: ask and you shall receive!
[14:38:39] <Bytram> You can make the output base larger than 16. In this case, dc prints each
[14:38:39] <Bytram> digit as a decimal value and separates them with a single space. For
[14:38:39] <Bytram> example,
[14:38:39] <Bytram> 1000 o
[14:38:39] <Bytram> 123456789 p
[14:38:39] <Bytram> prints
[14:38:42] <Bytram> 123 456 789
[14:38:44] <Bytram> This sets the output base to 1000, where digits are decimal values from 0
[14:38:45] <Bytram> through 999. As a result, dc breaks up all values into one or more chunks
[14:38:49] <Bytram> with three digits per chunk. Using output bases that are large powers of
[14:38:51] <Bytram> ten, you can put your output in columns; for example, many users find that
[14:38:54] <Bytram> 100000 makes a good output base because dc groups numbers into chunks of
[14:38:56] <Bytram> five digits each.
[14:38:58] <Bytram> dc outputs long numbers with a maximum of 70 characters per line. If a
[14:39:00] <Bytram> number is longer than this, dc puts a backslash \ at the end of the line,
[14:39:01] <Bytram> indicating that the number continues on the next line.
[14:39:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> hey, that's pretty neat!...not *quite* what I was looking for but pretty damned close.
[14:40:07] <Bytram> not mentioned, is it will provide leading zeroes when the value is less than 100
[14:40:16] <Bytram> 1000 o
[14:40:17] <Bytram> 125 147000000
[14:40:17] <Bytram> f
[14:40:17] <Bytram> 147 000 000
[14:40:17] <Bytram> 125
[14:40:19] <Bytram> *
[14:40:20] <Bytram> f
[14:40:22] <Bytram> 018 375 000 000
[14:40:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> 125 147000000 * p 018 375 000 000
[14:40:54] <AndyTheAbsurd> so your 18.375 billion was correct.
[14:41:43] <Bytram> I figured, "You know, this has bugged me for along time. I can't be the only one who has thought this. I wonder... looked at a man page, searched for 'separator', and... voila!"
[14:41:50] <Bytram> how 'bout the others?
[14:42:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> .17% is also correct.
[14:42:26] <Bytram> one more:
[14:42:36] <Bytram> Put another way, they set aside $0.21 for each potential claimant.
[14:43:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yeah, that was the math I did earlier, and came up with the same number.
[14:43:23] <FatPhil> dc's a great language: dc -e'[[dc -e]P10075PP93P[dx]P39PAP]dx'
[14:43:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> $0.21088435 was the actual number I came up with.
[14:44:32] <Bytram> something tells me that it was a bait-and-switch; dangle a big carrot and then have nearly everyone end up getting the cheap credit monitoring... and setting a hard limit on the actual amount they had to pay.
[14:44:43] <Bytram> close enough!
[14:45:03] <Bytram> teamwork++
[14:45:03] <Bender> karma - teamwork: 43
[14:45:52] <Bytram> story should come out in less than 3 hours.
[14:45:56] <Bytram> thanks for the help!

[14:49:40] <AndyTheAbsurd> does that result in 8008135 ?
[14:49:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> 8008135++

[15:00:38] <Bytram> here's hoping another ed will run with it. When you see Techtronix, you'll know that is the one.
[15:00:58] <Bytram> ugh! Tektronix!!!!
