andi-: _most_ :p I was more thinking it was related to all these chatting apps, e.g. discord, slack, etc.
<eyJhb>
sphalerite: what you doing?
<sphalerite>
eyJhb: fiddling with my e-reader
<eyJhb>
What your trying to do with it?
<sphalerite>
eyJhb: although, the manufacturer was kind enough to (1) provide handy uart holes on the board so I don't have to do any soldering, and (2) put everything on a micro-SD card embedded in the case rather than an eMMC or SPI flash or something, so I can easily swap it out
<sphalerite>
eyJhb: ideally, get a modern kernel booting on it. Then… idk, I'll see
<sphalerite>
eyJhb: maybe make it into a fancy e-ink wall information panel
<eyJhb>
Ah, always fun when you can fiddle with uart! Good luck, and try not to brick it ;) :p
<sphalerite>
well that's the nice thing about the SD card
<sphalerite>
I can just back it up using my laptop :D
<sphalerite>
and even swap it out for a completely different one!
<sphalerite>
um. That has the serial number in it. Oops.
<sphalerite>
Ah well, not the end of the world I guess?

I was thinking the SDCard format :D Like, fat32 and ext4 :D
<eyJhb>
Eh, I don't think you can do much with that serial.. But some people use it for "SE" (Social Engineering), which is just... Bad scamming
<sphalerite>
eyJhb: ooh. No, not really. It's just got a u-boot and a kernel in non-partitioned space and then 2 ext4 partitions (system and recovery) and a fat partition (for the ebooks)
<eyJhb>
sphalerite: sounds "easy" enough. Have you been working on it for a long time, or just started?
<sphalerite>
eyJhb: just started
<sphalerite>
eyJhb: but an ancient u-boot like that won't be much fun, and I don't know enough about the hardware (or about porting u-boot) to port a modern u-boot to it
<eyJhb>
Well, that is somewhat part of the exercise, isn't it? But yeah, depends on how much time one has... And generally, that is _not much_

I did some a year ago I think with a "TDC Homebox 3" (TDC being a ISP). Considered changing some internal components to do logging, so I could get the remote password they used to remotely auth to the router
<eyJhb>
Oh! Does anybody have a good tool for testing requests/sec to a HTTP service? I know there is some obivous one

Aaaand I have concurrency issues
<eyJhb>
Damn
<eyJhb>
Thanks averell
<sphalerite>
blargh. My new smart sockets, same model as I already had, have fixed firmware so I can't reflash them OTA :(
<eyJhb>
Apparantly I cannot do MySQL anymore
<eyJhb>
So, manually flashing them sphalerite ?
<sphalerite>
eyJhb: yeah, and ripping the cases apart to do so :(
<sphalerite>
eyJhb: the glued-shut cases which are AFAIK quite impossible to open without damaging them
<eyJhb>
ANybody knows of a simple solution to track page visits? Currently hosting a site on GitlabPages, and don't want to include Google Analytics, but sometime more simple and less Google

I'm getting exit_boot() failed and efi_main() failed every few startups; is this just a potentially bad install? (eg on legacy when I should've used UEFI, etc)
<evanjs>
Like I've been running NixOS fine for months, but every few times I reboot / power on, I'll get those messages, and need to reboot up to a few more times
<sphalerite>
evanjs: that's more of a question for #nixos, but I'd say that doesn't sound normal. That could be a firmware bug (check if your manufacturer has published any updates)
<sphalerite>
evanjs: has this occurred across different kernel versions?
<sphalerite>
(highlight me in #nixos with your answer ;) )

ffmpeg includes libdav1d now, so i got to finally pit that against my awful torture test. it gets much farther than libaom before it starts dropping frames like wild, which is great
<ashkitten>
hmm
<ashkitten>
some of it might've been an issue with the encoder
<ashkitten>
partially
<ashkitten>
gonna start libaom-av1 encoding on my server. it was on my desktop last time, which i could only really let run for about a week

Okay what the hell is this black magic: sudo rm -rf var -> rm: cannot remove 'var/empty': Operation not permitted
<infinisil>
I AM ROOT
<sphalerite>
infinisil: immutable attr
<sphalerite>
infinisil: man chattr
<drakonis>
infinisil: chattr -i file
<infinisil>
I was just looking into that
<drakonis>
i've run into it in the past
<drakonis>
its ssh at work it seems
<drakonis>
what are you nuking right now?
<sphalerite>
drakonis: no, nixos makes /var/empty immutable
<infinisil>
Yeah that was it indeed: lsattr . ----i--------------- ./empty
<infinisil>
Thanks ^^
<drakonis>
its the only directory you can't actually nuke
<drakonis>
sphalerite: why?
<sphalerite>
drakonis: so that it definitely remains empty
<drakonis>
idgi
<sphalerite>
it's used for a number of purposes
<samueldr>
+i makes the directory immutable
<drakonis>
yes i'm aware
<samueldr>
(iirc)
<drakonis>
but its actually not empty on other distros
<drakonis>
sshd goes there
<samueldr>
does it create files?
<samueldr>
because if it doesn't then it should still be empty
<infinisil>
Whaat
<samueldr>
it's /var/empty, not /var/unused
<drakonis>
it has a directory in there
<drakonis>
its /var/empty/sshd but it is empty inside
<infinisil>
Then whatever made that is broken
<infinisil>
Or got a wrong path at some point
<sphalerite>
...
<sphalerite>
:|
<drakonis>
this is fedora i'm looking at
<infinisil>
Wouldn't have happened with +i :)
<drakonis>
its created by sshd
<samueldr>
I guess the fedora/redhats are weird in having stuff in sshd, I've never used that lineage of distros
<samueldr>
stuff in /var/empty*
<drakonis>
again, its a directory owned by sshd
<drakonis>
they don't have anything inside that directory, but it exists
<drakonis>
a directory that sshd created that should be owned by root and it is empty even on fedora

openrazer/openrazer.github.io#9 (by evanjs, 1 minute ago, open): Add documentation for NixOS support
<evanjs>
ashkitten: ^ ?
<ashkitten>
evanjs: ty, btw i'm not sure if i'm going to keep this. it's not suiting my needs, i think
<evanjs>
ashkitten: mapping keys, or?
<ashkitten>
just not what i wanted out of it
<evanjs>
Ohhh the service or the Orbweaver?
<ashkitten>
orbweaver
<evanjs>
Okay that makes more sense. I kept mine just in case I find games that work well with it, but I'd definitely say it's not for _all_ games.
<evanjs>
bigger thing for me is that like all my peripherals are razer :P

drakonis: some distros prefer to use own `empty` for each service, idk if it good or bad (but in this case better to have /var/empty/default then. instead defaulting to /var/empty with subdirs).
