Protip: It's 2020, CoW & full data checksumming should be a basic requirement
<DigitalKiwi>
ZFS?
<gchristensen>
adisbladis: :(

DigitalKiwi: I was using that on my laptop before but had terrible performance
<adisbladis>
It turns out I just have a terribly performing SSD and XFS did nothing to mitigate that
<gchristensen>
oops
<gchristensen>
wait, which laptop is this?
<adisbladis>
gchristensen: Thinkpad 25
<gchristensen>
ah
<DigitalKiwi>
i had terrible performance when i first tried zfs
<DigitalKiwi>
turns out sync=always is kind of slow
<gchristensen>
hehehe
<DigitalKiwi>
only took me a month to figure it out!
<gchristensen>
if you need aggressive sync behavior, you can tune it per dataset :)
<DigitalKiwi>
funny thing is; it was
<DigitalKiwi>
that's why it was so confusing! most of the system was fast
<gchristensen>
hah
<DigitalKiwi>
but that dataset was /nix :)
<gchristensen>
ooops
<adisbladis>
Thank god for git <3

i spent two days packaging some not-that-shitty-seeming java app and learned a few things about node and maven. probably not worth it.
<pie_[bnc]>
whoops, wasnt originally planning to send that here, forgot to censor myself :p
<DigitalKiwi>
it's ok apparently shit is on the ok list adisbladis got a +1
<gchristensen>
I just want to say it isn't a list, it is about how we talk and be with each other and who we want to incude and exclude of innumerable cultures and backgrounds
<gchristensen>
how we want to talk and be*
drakonis has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
<DigitalKiwi>
can we have a list though
<DigitalKiwi>
some of us are...special :)
<gchristensen>
no, because it isn't about a rule or specifics but an idea and feeling
<DigitalKiwi>
that sounds very difficult to navigate
<samueldr>
this... may come as a surprise for english-speaking people, but here in Québec using "fuck" and declinations of it is like... not an issue; it's used as a borrowed swear word, which makes it less impactful than the native ones
<gchristensen>
DigitalKiwi: have you had trouble, actually?
<samueldr>
a Québécois could easily slip a "fuck[...]" while visiting in the states, and some, if not most, not really realize the difference in scope
<gchristensen>
that is pretty funny
<samueldr>
and why « "bon cop, bad cop" haha »? wondering if you know about it or have seen it
<gchristensen>
I think the name is pretty funny
<samueldr>
I wonder if the subtitled adaptations are passable
<samueldr>
>> The film was then released in two official versions, one for Anglophones and one for Francophones, which differ only in their subtitles and in a few spoken lines
<samueldr>
oh
<DigitalKiwi>
i'd just like to say that i use swear words as if i'm a quebecian
<samueldr>
the jig is up, you've been unmasked already
<DigitalKiwi>
i don't have an svg for the second (computer crashed, i hadn't saved it) so if you're tied between them...say the first one :P
<cole-h>
Personally a fan of the first.
<emily>
hard to tell without more of a border around both
<emily>
the difference in padding is much more noticeable than the different height
<DigitalKiwi>
what browser are you using
<emily>
firefox
<DigitalKiwi>
oh
<DigitalKiwi>
am in firefox
<emily>
as in, there's a dark grey border around both, which contrasts too much with the background colour of the image to be able to accurately judge the two logos against each other (imo0
<emily>
)
<emily>
the dark grey border from firefox
<DigitalKiwi>
so the reason for the second is i think the first one the lambda is too small
<DigitalKiwi>
but i don't quite like the padding on the second either yeah

molex to sata power connector in my computer shorted itself and caught fire, scorched my drives a bit. they're fine tho, just gave me a bad scare
<sphalerite>
that does sound scary.
<FireFly>
o.o ouch
<ashkitten>
yeah
<ashkitten>
luckily only melted itself and not, yk, the insides of the drives
<ashkitten>
im gonna look into how i can do backups
<sphalerite>
joepie91: would you happen to know what particular EU (or German) safety codes that funny PSU that dumps power back at you when switched off might be violating?

sphalerite: DIN-something-something :P
<joepie91>
no idea
<ajs124>
DIN is boring. VDE norms are way cooler :P
<joepie91>
sphalerite: I'll ask someone at revspace who probably knows
<eyJhb>
DIN is always weird to read, seeing as it means "your" in Danish
<FireFly>
heh
<FireFly>
reminds me of how 'iso' is apparently large (IIRC at least) in finnish
<ajs124>
It's amazing how little thought some people seem to put into naming things sometimes. DIN and ISO are still ok, I guess, but then you got names like MongoDB. The first time I heard that name I thought it was some kind of bad joke.
<eyJhb>
FireFly: there is loads of suchs things :p E.g. fart in Danish means speed, but .. yeah, not in English :p
<eyJhb>
ajs124: I don't even know what it comes from, and have never really thought about it :p
<eyJhb>
Which would seem like a "normal" implementation
<eyJhb>
But a litle too late now

Anyone know of a good local visualiser of math? I use Python as my calculator, but it would be nice to be able to check, if e.g. `((u_1*u_2)/((2*c*r)**2))/(1+(5-u_1*u_2)/(4*c*r)+1/((2*c*r)**2))` is correct (looks correct)
<ashkitten>
gchristensen: in case you didn't read last night, the molex to sata power adapter powering my hard drives caught fire yesterday and i ended up having to disassemble my computer to figure out what was up
<gchristensen>
oooooooops....
<ashkitten>
luckily it only shorted itself and not the drives
* gchristensen
looks at his single system in his basement acting as a backup server
<ashkitten>
but that's why i need to set up backups stat
<gchristensen>
there have been a series of arsons nearby, making me very aware how often all of my data is in the same building
<ashkitten>
i don't have the upstream bandwidth to make any sort of reasonable backups over the internet, i think
<gchristensen>
it depends how much you write :)
<DigitalKiwi>
ashkitten: did you get your mail server working?
<ashkitten>
gchristensen: if my calculations are correct it'd take a whole month to upload 3T over my uplink
<ashkitten>
DigitalKiwi: not my highest priority, and i think i'm gonna let my gf do that anyways
<cransom>
but the bulk of that data isn't changing over the month, no?
<ashkitten>
cransom: okay but i can't afford to saturate my uplink for a month lol
<gchristensen>
how about 50% saturated for 2 months
<cransom>
QoS to the rescue.
<ashkitten>
i'm moving next month
<ashkitten>
i'll have better internet then, anyways
<gchristensen>
aye
<gchristensen>
besides, where are you writing it *to*
<ashkitten>
so long an my computer doesn't catch fire some other way
<ashkitten>
gchristensen: presumably backblaze b2 or something. i don't know
<gchristensen>
one perfectly valid way to back up is grab a big ol' 8t disk off the internet and dupe it over
<ashkitten>
and put that 8T disk where?
<ashkitten>
anyway we're looking into a tape backup system
<ashkitten>
but idk, might try to find something else in the meantime
<gchristensen>
safety deposit box at a nearby bank
<worldofpeace>
because Eelco doesn't have the clear to push flakes outside the RFC process
<srk>
gchristensen: not sure if I undstertand the issue correctly - the evaluation of all tests takes 12G and 5 minutes? or it's just collecting their results?
<gchristensen>
evaluation
<srk>
it's due to multiple re-evaluations of nixpkgs for nested vms? missing memoization?
<gchristensen>
evaluating nixos
<srk>
nixos, yes
<gchristensen>
which I don't believe can be memoized
<srk>
I've had troubles with this before with large deployments composed of many nixoses
<gchristensen>
yeah
<cransom>
i updated my fireqos gist. it even works (!).
<srk>
heh, this was the mem fix .. boot.extraModprobeConfig = "options zfs zfs_arc_max=${toString (2 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024)}";
<srk>
:D

Solution to my keyboards problem: 1) use a PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2->USB converter. That makes keypresses sorted if the converter is cheap enough. 2) Use a keyboard that samples at high frequency.
<viric>
I'm quite happy with a particular model of HP keyboard.
<viric>
usbhid-dump tells how keyboards send things.
<srk>
how do you decipher the output of usbhid-dump?

srk: 1st byte are modifier bits, next bytes are keycodes pressed
<viric>
the keycodes pressed are in press order. This protocol allows the devices to implement it in a way where 1) there is no order between modifier presses + other keys and 2) there is no order of release
<viric>
SOME device implementers will send ONE report for every key. But SOME others will send multiple press updates in a single report.
<viric>
As a typist, good for the 1st (more latency, if you want, but clear order), bad for the 2nd (less latency but unclear press/release order)
<viric>
I've seen keyboards of both kinds.
<srk>
I wonder how fast you need to sample

I've got my first cherry mx switch working today via external interrupt :D but there's only 16 exti lines /o\
<gchristensen>
how many switches do you need, anyway
<gchristensen>
probably no more than 12
<samueldr>
what with the alphabet having only 12 letters, it's all good
<ajs124>
That's probably the limit of… my PS to USB adapter? Maybe if I convert from XT instead of AT (because my keyboard supports that), I'll have more simultaneous keys :P
<viric>
If your USB device works in "boot mode", it's limited to 6 keys per USB report.
<ajs124>
Now that I think about it, that probably isn't even my keyboard, my PC sees. It's probably my KVM.
