[14:35:30] <Runaway1956> have to install your kernel, then install your video, then update/upgrade compiler, on and on it goes
[14:35:53] <chromas> Weird. Glad I'm not using the Debians then
[14:35:59] <Runaway1956> I'm sure Sid is moved past the 5.0 kernel
[14:38:20] <Runaway1956> gonna boot to a couple different ISOs and look around - there's a Sid x64 and a Sid runit x64
[14:38:42] <Runaway1956> runit obviously uses runit, the other might be systemd or it might be sysv
[14:39:15] <Runaway1956> mainstream was sysv last time I looked
[14:39:34] <chromas> If we could get Poettering to move on to something else, we could probably replace systemd in a few years like pulseaudio :D
[14:39:37] <Runaway1956> SysV init version: 2.93
[14:40:07] <chromas> although systemd is his kitchen sink. Wouldn't be surprised to see pulseaudio integrated into it if people weren't throwing it out now
[14:41:38] <Runaway1956> People throwing out systemd or throwing out pulse?
[14:41:42] <chromas> pulse
[14:41:53] <chromas> pipewire is the new hotness
[14:42:03] <Runaway1956> dam, I thought for a moment there was a growing movement against systemd
[14:42:18] <chromas> integrates its own pulseaudio server with jack and alsa, so all programs using any system can connect together
[14:42:38] <Runaway1956> is it reliable?
[14:42:47] <chromas> it's getting there

[14:43:54] <chromas> It's been mostly working for me, although switching outputs (say, from 6-channel anal og to s/pdif) causes issues sometimes
[14:43:56] <Runaway1956> chromas needs to people more often
[14:44:33] <Runaway1956> alsa never seems to figure out which device to send sound to, and sometimes doesn't send it anywhere
[14:45:48] <Runaway1956> Oh yeah - my other problem is USB - for some reason my USB wants to run at a couple hundred k/s instead of m/s
[14:46:03] <Runaway1956> transferring a large file is an hours long process
[14:47:04] <chromas> Are they Chinesium fakes?
[14:48:11] <Runaway1956> well the hub is made in china, but it operated at m/s for a long time before the system decided to use USB1 instead of USB2 or 3
[14:48:50] <chromas> That's Jesus' way of telling you to install systemd for the latest udev

[14:56:11] <Runaway1956> fortunately, file transfer this morning is ~20 m/s

[14:58:00] <Runaway1956> don't say anything you might be canceled for next year
[14:58:02] <GD> okay then .. you did not hear that just now
[14:58:13] <GD> let's all pretend and move on
[14:58:14] <chromas> You can use SSL but you need a different port
[14:58:30] <Runaway1956> ssl goes in the other pot
[14:58:51] <GD> clients assume SSL, connection closes with no message. so nice..

[14:59:28] <GD> thanks Chromas
[15:00:00] <GD> so irc can't detect and retry like http/s
[15:00:08] <GD> or clients don't..
[15:01:04] <GD> I really liked the Death Note article
[15:01:34] <Runaway1956> GD really likes weird stuff, lol
[15:01:49] <GD> specialty, I've thought about Kira's mistakes for a while. It was good to see a writeup on it
[15:01:58] <GD> Oh you have no idea
[15:02:10] <GD> Don't ask about the Hobbies.
[15:02:15] <Runaway1956> no worries, everyone around here is weird
[15:04:45] <GD> After putting it off, I finally started to learn and use Python recently. Yes. That is weird. I still look at python code and wonder how they call it "beautiful"

[15:07:41] <Runaway1956> Huh - downloading ISOs and my download speed is only reaching 400 KB/s
[15:08:19] <GD> http or torrent?
[15:08:37] <Runaway1956> http - but it uses Aria2
[15:08:45] <Runaway1956> so, usually better than torrent
[15:09:14] <chromas> Are you using a USB network adapter?
[15:09:23] <Runaway1956> you probably don't know - I'm in outback nowhere, my DSL connection is only 15 MB on the best of days
[15:09:36] <chromas> Can you get cable internet there?
[15:09:52] <Runaway1956> no, DSL is the best I can get right now
[15:09:59] <Runaway1956> next year or so, I can get fiber
[15:10:08] <chromas> Kickass
[15:10:10] <GD> ahh DSL .. I remember the days..
[15:10:21] <GD> google fibre?
[15:10:21] <Runaway1956> in fact, the wife just pre-registered two days ago for it
[15:10:28] <chromas> You're gonna download so many Linux ISOs
[15:10:30] <Runaway1956> no, google not coming out here
[15:10:43] <Runaway1956> the electric coop is putting it in
[15:10:51] <GD> someone overturned the greedy council laws preventing multiple isps?
[15:11:07] <GD> ... didn't they make that kind of thing... illegal?
[15:11:13] <GD> in the US
[15:11:52] <Runaway1956> Not in Arkansas - the coop finally decided no one is doing anything, so they're doing it
[15:12:10] <Runaway1956> There are still people not far from me with dial up or nothing
[15:12:21] <GD> yay
[15:12:44] <GD> that's so sad in this day and age
[15:12:55] <GD> normal for country areas though
[15:12:57] <Runaway1956> I'm out of here for awhile - ISO's are downloaded and transferred where I need them
[15:13:23] <GD> what ISP wants to pay for that final mile to a house km from anything
[15:13:44] <GD> good luck with your fiber
[15:14:25] <Runaway1956> I did the math some months ago - I could bring fiber from Texas to my house for a couple million dollars - then sell fiber connection to those who got in the way
[15:14:40] <Runaway1956> pay for itself in about 18 months if 50% bought in
[15:14:45] <Runaway1956> later

[16:48:47] <chromas> Yeah, I tried friending & unfriending upstart to see if it would do anything. Many hours later (a couple days I think) two messages appeared
[16:53:15] <Bytram> chromas: I remember diving into the code for slashd which acts like a cron service. Got it sorted out, eventually, but was so long ago, I don't remember the details any more. :(

[16:58:03] <chromas> I dunno why they didn't just use cron instead of running their own pseudo cron
[17:02:39] <Bytram> was it even around back then? ~1995-1996 I'm guessing
[17:03:49] <chromas> I'm assuming unix/linux servers had ways of automatically running things in the background around that time
[17:04:22] <chromas> Looks like AT&T cron was from 1975
[17:42:17] <Bytram> That *would* predate slashd. I sure wonder what they were thinking when /. came up with it!
[17:44:08] <Bytram> All I can *guess* is that, maybe, there was a change to cron that was a pita for /. to deal with (poorly-abstracted code?) and so maybe they decided to "do it themselves" so that they'd never get "bit" again???
[17:49:14] <chromas> Nah, probably just wanted the fun of implementing it themselves
