As recently as Dec. 21, Vice President Pence, the head of the White House coronavirus task force, said that we were on track to vaccinate 20 million Americans by Dec. 31. Unfortunately, 20 | Jan 01 07:23 |

| schestowitz | vZS1_2: over time it take longer and longer to generate | Jan 01 10:27 |
| schestowitz | now it's like 2 minutes | Jan 01 10:27 |
| schestowitz | as the list of objects grows longer | Jan 01 10:27 |
| schestowitz | it scales linearly | Jan 01 10:28 |
| schestowitz | but as size doubles, so will time to generate index etc. | Jan 01 10:28 |
| vZS1_2 | Yeah. It's a dumb algorithm. I intend to keep it that way. | Jan 01 10:30 |
| schestowitz | ok, wait. | Jan 01 10:30 |
| schestowitz | so I assume you are among the coders | Jan 01 10:30 |
| vZS1_2 | "coders"? | Jan 01 10:30 |

| schestowitz | hackers | Jan 01 10:30 |
| vZS1_2 | No, I mean "coder for what?" | Jan 01 10:31 |
| vZS1_2 | Re: the ipfs bot. I have it going over each object in the index because it provides a check at the same time. If, somehow, an object got deleted by accident, it'll get added back. | Jan 01 10:33 |
| vZS1_2 | It wouldn't take long to split that into two parts. We could just add new objects only and then do an index check periodically (as a separate cron job). | Jan 01 10:34 |

| schestowitz | will pm | Jan 01 10:44 |
| schestowitz | vZS1_2: and yes, splitting at some stage for years might help | Jan 01 10:45 |
| schestowitz | also to split indexes, pages | Jan 01 10:45 |
| schestowitz | as they will get rather long after a year | Jan 01 10:45 |
| vZS1_2 | Might be best to adopt date(1), in that case, for the timestamp field. | Jan 01 10:46 |
| vZS1_2 | Because date(1) has builtin comparison functionality | Jan 01 10:46 |
| vZS1_2 | Don't want to hack that by hand | Jan 01 10:46 |
| vZS1_2 | One thing at a time, though. | Jan 01 10:47 |
| vZS1_2 | Btw, IP address of Rpi is still the same. | Jan 01 10:49 |
| schestowitz | I was told so | Jan 01 10:50 |

| vZS1_2 | I'll log in some time over the weekend | Jan 01 10:54 |

| *vZS1 has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) | Jan 01 10:56 | |
| vZS1_2 | Since we use RSA-based SSH, I could just IPNS to point to the IP address of the Pi. Let me know if you'd be alright with that. | Jan 01 10:56 |
| vZS1_2 | s/just/just use/ | Jan 01 10:56 |
| vZS1_2 | Would just ping an external service for your IP address and then store that in a file. Turn that into and IPFS object and point to it with IPNS. | Jan 01 10:57 |
| vZS1_2 | No additional software requres. IPNS comes bundles in with go-ipfs. | Jan 01 10:58 |
| vZS1_2 | s/bundles/bundled/ | Jan 01 10:58 |
| vZS1_2 | s/requres/required/ | Jan 01 10:58 |
| schestowitz | vZS1_2: the IP address will change over time | Jan 01 11:04 |
| schestowitz | I have no control over it | Jan 01 11:04 |
| vZS1_2 | I know, and that's fine. | Jan 01 11:04 |
| vZS1_2 | Let me explain a bit more | Jan 01 11:04 |
| vZS1_2 | We store your IP address and update it in a file. That gets turned into an IPFS object. We use IPNS to point to a new IPFS object every time the IP address (and hence IPFS object) changes. | Jan 01 11:05 |
| vZS1_2 | IPNS objects don't change their hash, they stay the same. They can be updated to point to new things while keeping their hash (this is because it's just a hash of an asymmetric encryption key). | Jan 01 11:06 |
| vZS1_2 | It's like DNS but isn't DNS | Jan 01 11:06 |
| vZS1_2 | So I wouldn't need to keep asking you for your IP address. I could just query the IPNS object. | Jan 01 11:07 |
| schestowitz | Oh, I see... | Jan 01 11:09 |
| vZS1_2 | This is also how Tor onion addresses work. The address is just a hash to an asymmetric encryption key (the public one). | Jan 01 11:09 |
| vZS1_2 | Those hashes are a static hash that can be updated to point to arbitrary data. | Jan 01 11:11 |
| vZS1_2 | I'll make an IPNS object for the TR IPFS index as well, so that people have an alternative to the DNS version. | Jan 01 11:13 |
| vZS1_2 | You can have one on your Rpi as well. They'll just be different IPNS objects pointing to the same underlying IPFS object. | Jan 01 11:14 |
| vZS1_2 | Analogous to how multiple DNS records can point to the same IP address. | Jan 01 11:14 |
| vZS1_2 | IPNS has the distinct advantage that you can point to arbitrary IPFS objects. This makes is much more general and capable. | Jan 01 11:15 |
| vZS1_2 | s/makes is/makes it/ | Jan 01 11:15 |
| vZS1_2 | So you could, for example, have a whole table of IP addresses AND port mappings. DNS can't do ports. | Jan 01 11:16 |
| vZS1_2 | Say, for example, you had your own IRC server running on IP:PORT, you could maintain an IPNS object with that information and people can just query that IPNS object to "discover" how to log in. No reason why you couldn't bundle other things in as well because we are just using arbitrary files here. | Jan 01 11:18 |
| vZS1_2 | There are HTTP gateways for IPNS as well so it's just as accessible as IPFS | Jan 01 11:21 |
| vZS1_2 | You just replace "/ipfs/CID" with "/ipns/CID" when you query the HTTP gateway | Jan 01 11:22 |

| schestowitz | to avoid private key on your account, I put that under a more privileged (in sudoers) account | Jan 01 14:09 |
| schestowitz | and so it uploads the index every hour between midnight and 5 am | Jan 01 14:10 |
| schestowitz | it generated a new index 20 minutes after my machine makes the IRC logs and passes them to the pi | Jan 01 14:10 |

| *schestowitz plans to buy akita for MinceR for his birthday | Jan 01 14:42 | |
| MinceR | schestowitz: afaik there was an attempt to domesticate foxes, to make it easier to produce pelts, and it worked, but their coat patterns changed (presumably to juvenile ones), so it didn't work for what they wanted | Jan 01 14:43 |
| MinceR | also, you don't want a dog to be forced to live in this tiny concrete box | Jan 01 14:44 |
| MinceR | a neighbor keeps one and sometimes it barks all day | Jan 01 14:44 |
| schestowitz | it would be nice if instead of 8 billion humans we made more animals acceptable as pets | Jan 01 14:44 |
| MinceR | not sure about that | Jan 01 14:45 |
| MinceR | animals tend to change as part of domestication | Jan 01 14:45 |
| MinceR | and it might not be best for a wild animal to be kept as a pet | Jan 01 14:45 |
| schestowitz | better than extinction? | Jan 01 14:45 |

| MinceR | just like humans | Jan 01 14:46 |
| schestowitz | I am not too sure humans strictly require it | Jan 01 14:47 |

| schestowitz | I need to read up on it | Jan 01 14:47 |
| MinceR | indeed, the problem is the overpopulation | Jan 01 14:47 |
| schestowitz | I guess artificial substitutes exist already | Jan 01 14:47 |
| MinceR | we shouldn't have to live like ascetics so we could ensure a lifetime of suffering for an extra million people | Jan 01 14:47 |
| schestowitz | we can keep the planet heavily populated | Jan 01 14:47 |
| schestowitz | but some animals have little footprint | Jan 01 14:47 |
| MinceR | we should be aiming for quality of life, not for quantity | Jan 01 14:47 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I'll probably nuke Windows 10 off this computer as soon as I'm done putting out this latest fire with immigration. | Jan 01 17:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I have too many things to get done at the moment to start messing around with a migration to an OS where things might not even be quite ready for this hardware yet. | Jan 01 17:47 |
| schestowitz | vista 10? | Jan 01 17:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | From what I can tell, Linux mostly works on this hardware, but I need to give things another few months to finish settling down. | Jan 01 17:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, the graphics chip in particular is a major departure from Intel's previous lineup. | Jan 01 17:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It has a lot of similarity to the previous design, but enough things changed that it effectively needs about half of a new driver written for it. | Jan 01 17:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But unlike some of their horrible decisions in the past, like those PowerVR patent trolls, this will actually be fully supported on Linux. | Jan 01 17:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even Windows couldn't ultimately continue supporting some of the things Intel did because they didn't even have access to driver source code or programming specifications for what they said was their own platform. | Jan 01 17:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It alarmed me at the time that it looked like they were heading in that direction. | Jan 01 17:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's exactly how the management at Microsoft still strikes me. | Jan 01 17:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They have different elements engaged in infighting and the group with the most ridiculous ideas wins a lot of the fights, forces others out, and presses forward with something really dumb that won't work. | Jan 01 17:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Forcing out Sinofsky and Larsen-Green, regardless what you might have thought about them, made them a lot weaker as a company in my opinion. | Jan 01 17:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Those people were smart enough to do UX design and not overpromise a bunch of features that resulted in another Vista, and they held enough sway over Windows 7 that it actually got fairly popular. | Jan 01 17:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But then there was this night of the long knives where Steve Ballmer realized that Sinofsky might be in the running as their next CEO, and they wanted to reward Stephen Elop with a plum job in kind for sabotaging and selling Nokia to them, and that's what forced out Larson-Green. | Jan 01 17:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The wrong people ended up taking over the company and that's why their major consumer-facing stuff is a disaster again. | Jan 01 17:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think the people that got forced out might have made a credible threat to Android/iOS even. | Jan 01 17:57 |
| schestowitz | [17:49] <schestowitz> pleroma.site and pleroma.fr still incoming ;-) ? | Jan 01 17:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's pretty clear from looking at these Surface phones that they're expensive, they're just a gussied up Android, and they have a lot of ridiculous "features" that nobody will be interested in, like dual screens. | Jan 01 17:58 |

| DaemonFC[m] | ICE is mad that they get negatively portrayed as villains in many movies and TV shows. | Jan 01 18:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Those are just a reflection of what a great deal of the country thinks about them based on what they do that actually managed to get reported. | Jan 01 18:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I appreciated the backstory in The Handmaid's Tale that showed the US government collapse and the early days of the new theocracy while it was still calling itself the US government. | Jan 01 18:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The first Revolutionary Guard members were ICE. | Jan 01 18:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Governments that rule by fear usually have a separate branch from the military full of fanatics to make sure that they don't get overthrown. | Jan 01 18:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If ICE doesn't want to be portrayed as a group operating on the fringes of the law, they should have refused to play along with Trump's illegal orders to attack Americans last summer. | Jan 01 18:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | ICE is full of people who would take a personal loyalty oath to Trump if it came down to it....on the record. | Jan 01 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're not even concerned about the appearance of legitimacy. | Jan 01 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But they're also not a big enough band of thugs to operate outside the chain of command and block the transition from taking place. | Jan 01 18:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What they'll do is they'll keep their heads down for the next 4 years and hope that some new president lets them do what they will once again. | Jan 01 18:54 |

| XRevan86 | 8 minutes in the new Doctor Who episode (I never learn) and I'm already baffled by how incredibly corny it is. | Jan 01 22:32 |
| XRevan86 | Music still overlaps with voices. Typical. | Jan 01 22:32 |
| XRevan86 | Starts with a horrible green screen in a truck cabin. | Jan 01 22:33 |
| XRevan86 | An IT guy casually cloned a dalek from cellular remnants without anyone knowing. Sounds like 2020 alright. | Jan 01 22:53 |

| CrystalMath | XRevan86: is this a new episode? or simply an episode you haven't seen before? | Jan 01 23:11 |
| XRevan86 | CrystalMath: new episode | Jan 01 23:12 |
| CrystalMath | i actually thought about watching the old show | Jan 01 23:12 |
| CrystalMath | i saw a small clip of it in some youtube video | Jan 01 23:12 |
| CrystalMath | and it seemed somewhat interesting, and quite nostalgic | Jan 01 23:12 |
| CrystalMath | i've never seen any of that show, btw | Jan 01 23:13 |
| XRevan86 | CrystalMath: I watched the old show since season 7 and the first 3 seasons. | Jan 01 23:13 |
| XRevan86 | A lot of lost episodes there, so I just skipped the Second Doctor and parts of the First. | Jan 01 23:13 |
| XRevan86 | but yea, it's gut | Jan 01 23:14 |
| CrystalMath | that's from like the 60s? | Jan 01 23:14 |
| XRevan86 | Season 7 starts exactly in 1970, so right :). | Jan 01 23:14 |
| CrystalMath | everything was wonderful in the 60s | Jan 01 23:14 |
| CrystalMath | it just all looked so much more meaningful | Jan 01 23:15 |
| CrystalMath | much more real | Jan 01 23:15 |
| XRevan86 | > What've you done, Leo. Cloned a smallest trace of organic material, not understanding that dalek conciousness can live within the tiniest fragment of that DNA | Jan 01 23:16 |
| XRevan86 | sounds plausible | Jan 01 23:16 |
| CrystalMath | on second thought | Jan 01 23:16 |

| schestowitz | they still suck | Jan 01 23:50 |
| schestowitz | all clubs suck this season/year (last year) | Jan 01 23:50 |
| psydroid | if you play as badly as Liverpool and especially Man United do and still end up at the top of the league, it's not what you would normally expect | Jan 01 23:54 |
| psydroid | Chelsea really disappoint me in that they are so dependent on Hakim Ziyech, who is quite prone to injury | Jan 01 23:54 |

| schestowitz | City is a mess | Jan 01 23:55 |
| schestowitz | the budget was high, morale not so much.. | Jan 01 23:56 |
| schestowitz | but anyway, alternative explanation is, all clubs are good | Jan 01 23:56 |
| schestowitz | so it's hard to get winning streams going this season | Jan 01 23:56 |
| schestowitz | or they lack motivation due to a lack of crowds | Jan 01 23:56 |
