hmmm you know what i'd really like, is something to keep extra crap out of my projects directory
<ashkitten>
like when i compile something i don't want to store the build artifacts permanently, but i also don't want to have to manually `make clean` or whatever
<eyJhb>
ashkitten++ would be awesome...
<{^_^}>
ashkitten's karma got increased to 24
<eyJhb>
I think the worst part is, that they clutter up my backups and fill up all that space ashkitten
<ashkitten>
right
<ashkitten>
my projects directory is 184 gigs
<ashkitten>
i'm not sure how much of that is rendered blender stuff though
<eyJhb>
I think mine is 40, but that is including a old backup
<samueldr>
it totally makes sense, and that's terrible
<cole-h>
ZFS smarties pls explain why
<ashkitten>
cole-h: magic
<ashkitten>
currently deleting my lineageos clone to save space :))
<cole-h>
ashkitten: pls say more I have 20.9G total AVAIL
<cole-h>
I need hep
<ashkitten>
says there you have 332 though
<cole-h>
That's a windows volume I create with `zfs create -V 302G rpool/win10`
<ashkitten>
anyway idk. snapshots?
<cole-h>
`zfs list -t snapshot rpool/win10` gives nonsensical data... anything else I can check?
<cole-h>
(Only 2 snapshots with USED above 1G)
<ashkitten>
compression?
<cole-h>
compression=on, yea
<ashkitten>
idk
<cole-h>

<eyJhb>
Maybe
<jtojnar>
do you know some Linux Live CD that contains memtest86+?
<sphalerite>
jtojnar: nixos! :D
<jtojnar>
my laptop does not see the official memtest iso :-/
<sphalerite>
jtojnar: the catch is that memtest86+ only works with legacy boot
<jtojnar>
oh, that might be the issue
<samueldr>
and the newer version is nonfree unredistributable
<sphalerite>
yep
<samueldr>
though the newer is a standard uefi program
<sphalerite>
I'm somewhat surprised nobody's written a free UEFI port yet
<samueldr>
so if your UEFI implementation is nice, you can just copy it to your ESP and boot it manually
<sphalerite>
jtojnar: if legacy boot won't work for you, you can also test most of your RAM using memtester, a userspace tool
<jtojnar>
yeah, I can see it in Ubuntu menu if I enable legacy boot
<jtojnar>
thanks

ashkitten: I have a directory /scratch, which is a zfs dataset that's rolled back to an empty snapshot daily
<sphalerite>
ashkitten: a lot of projects can be built out-of-tree, so I often build stuff in /scratch even though it lives in ~/projects
<eyJhb>
sphalerite: daily via. crontab?
<sphalerite>
eyJhb: a systemd timer+service, but same difference.
<eyJhb>
Seems nice that it is cleared daily, instead of on reboot
<eyJhb>
Mind sharing?
<sphalerite>
yeah I don't reboot often enough for that to make sense :)

I use my laptop as my daily driver, and I have displaylink that needs a reboot to work when I dock my laptop. So I reboot too often
<sphalerite>
lol
<sphalerite>
A dock without any of the convenience of docking!
<eyJhb>
I can get two of my three monitors to work without rebooting :p
<colemickens>
I guarantee if I reboot it will work. I guarantee.

colemickens: just rebooting scdaemon might be enough
<colemickens>
sphalerite: I didn't have any "scdaemon" process running? which was confusing? I had pcscd running and just outright killed it.
<colemickens>
idk I gave up and rebooted :( works now

I thought it was just australia where "fire" was classed as weather
<Taneb>
I was far closer than I'd like to the Black Saturday bush fires back in 2009 (visiting various relatives in Victoria). Everywhere we visited, the first thing we talked about was what we'd do if we got warning that there was fire nearby
<Taneb>
Fires are scary

PHP should die in a fire
<aleph->
I hate it
<gchristensen>
it pays the bills
<eyJhb>
f0x: did you consider NixOS more since last time, for Matrix?
<eyJhb>
gchristensen: in every way PHP does
<eyJhb>
To run unstable on everything, or not to. THat is the dilemma
<f0x>
eyJhb: not for Matrix specifically, but i've been considering a readonly-nixos setup for (some of) my servers
<f0x>
but E_NOTIME
<eyJhb>
Currently E_SOMETIME today
<eyJhb>
But I am in-between if I should work, or do NixOS fun
<f0x>
requires some actual nixos experience for me first too :P
<joepie91>
best way to get NixOS experience is to set a server on fire and have no choice but to fix it!
<f0x>
joepie91: and i'll always have nixos support because it's your matrix connection too :P
<joepie91>
f0x: no, not like that :(
<eyJhb>
f0x: Do it. :D
<aleph->
gchristensen: Or in this case doesn't pay the bills as I'm doing this for free to make my rss reader better :p
<f0x>
joepie91: really might want to think twice before urging me to set things on fire :D

aleph-: remember that bad code transcends languages
<aleph->
Indeed
<aleph->
samueldr: I mainly hate it due to not knowing PHP
<samueldr>
oh, I hate so many languages too :3
<aleph->
Heheheh
<samueldr>
to be fair, some languages and ecosystem can make it harder for devs to self-sabotage, while others don't
<etu>
aleph-: I'm pretty fine with PHP. It can be done in pretty decent ways.
<etu>
aleph-: Sure, there's many flaws. But you can find flaws in everything.
<aleph->
Eyep
<etu>
And tbf, composer is a pretty good package manager.
<etu>
That together with the standards developed over the past 10 years for how to use namespaces, interfaces for common things etc have done a lot of things much better.
<eyJhb>
Well I kind of like PHP. I would much rather spend time on trying to breach a PHP site than anything else, because most do not know how to use the language, and generally make flaws often
* etu
has gotten paid to do php for almost 10 years by now
<etu>
Maybe time for a change? Sure. But it's gotten so much better :D
<eyJhb>
Code everything in nix etu .
<etu>
eyJhb: No.
<eyJhb>
Which would mean breaking everything.
<eyJhb>
:D
<etu>
I have this fun lib at work
<etu>
They deprecated it
<etu>
Without upgrade path
<etu>
Internal lib
<eyJhb>
<?php exec('nix-something that I dont know"); ?>, and display that
<etu>
"you know what, we don't care, and if we break things we don't plan to tell anyone ahead of time"
<etu>
pretty much

question for anyone who has a their own file-hosting setup that enables you to quickly host+post arbitrary code-snippets and tarballs and such: what sort of toolchain/workflow do you use to drive it?
<samueldr>
not exactly what you're looking for, but I rsync the screenshots to a bare directory served by nginx, nothing fancy
<samueldr>
and hotkey binding + xclip to get into the clipboard
<samueldr>
I envisioned doing basically the same for files
<samueldr>
not gone around to doing it
<samueldr>
though I wonder how exactly I'd do it for source code snippets, I'd like them to be highlighted, and preferrably with my vim config just because
<samueldr>
(with a raw version available
<abathur>
not exactly sure either--in the short run I'm just thinking about it because I'm doing darwin release builds to test updates for Big Sur; air-dropping them to the test system atm but once the installs are clean I'd like to run a bunch of CI jobs against the files
<abathur>
in any case, you're on the short list of people I can remember seeing do it for sure, so your setup is definitely of interest :)
<abathur>
*installer updates for Big Sur
<samueldr>
hah, the setup is not really a setup except for screenshots
<samueldr>
everything else I just rsync or scp into the right directory on my server
<samueldr>
got a cheap big server mostly for that
<abathur>
nod, all I could imagine was rsync and scp, but I've noticed some people posting links with identifiers in them that made me wonder if they have a more complete toolchain
<samueldr>
infinisil's might be in his repo
<samueldr>
pretty sure it's a nix store
<samueldr>
g//christensen's is a content-addressed thing, also pretty sure it's in his configs
<abathur>
can't recall for sure; infinisil maybe yeah--I feel like I've seen gchristensen do it
<infinisil>
This is usable like `cat <anything> | ssh <host> pst <optional extension>`
<infinisil>
And I have a local zsh function for `pst() { ssh protos pst $1 | xclip -selection clipboard }`
<infinisil>
So I can `cat <anything> | pst <optional extension>`, and it's already copied into my clipboard :)
<abathur>
that sounds about right :)
<abathur>
one other thought I had was whether anyone was just using a general file-store like S3, but it sounds like VPS is probably the answer so far?
<abathur>
I have to be careful saying those 3 letters; my heart is already fluttering
<samueldr>
I much prefer (over?)paying a host with a static price rather than the maybe scary bill at S3-alike services
<infinisil>
Yeah I'm just hosting this on a digitalocean vps
<abathur>
I vaguely want to have a finger server, but not enough to justify a full VPS on its own
<samueldr>
it's also a place where I can run experiments more complex than a simple VPS
<abathur>
and I haven't found anyone who'll do something serverless on an arbitrary port
<abathur>
not that it doesn't exist, or hasn't been birthed since I looked last
<samueldr>
abathur: a VPS can be ridiculously cheap if you lower your standards enough :3
<abathur>
nod, I know
<abathur>
but still
<samueldr>
arbitrary port?
<samueldr>
why'd you need that?
<samueldr>
http is 80 and https is 443
<samueldr>
that's all you need
<abathur>
finger server

<abathur>
I use S3 for my backup setup
<samueldr>
you can't put port 79 on a highly available http server cache on top of K8S
<abathur>
and a few other things
<abathur>
currently costing me ~0.22 USD/m for that
<abathur>
nod
<samueldr>
yeah, not that cheap though :/
<abathur>
I presume the restriction is more about certain kinds of server ruining the fun for everyone
<samueldr>
probably a good time to say: "why not both?"
<abathur>
be great to shake these EOF errors on darwin out of the nix build process, they're giving me way too much indeterminately-bounded ~compiling! time to screw off setting up a VPS or whatever
<abathur>
meh, 5 failed builds in a row this is killin' me
<ashkitten>
i need an irc client that presents sixel-based randomart avatars in addition to a LRU-based nick coloring scheme
<ashkitten>
hmmm

actually, what if matrix was just better and i could use that as an irc client reliably
<ashkitten>
how's the experience of irc bridging nowadays?
