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. [10:34] 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). [10:36] *vZS1 has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [10:44] vZS1_2 schestowitz: same IP address for the Rpi?

[10:46] vZS1_2 Because date(1) has builtin comparison functionality [10:46] vZS1_2 Don't want to hack that by hand [10:47] vZS1_2 One thing at a time, though. [10:49] vZS1_2 Btw, IP address of Rpi is still the same. [10:50] schestowitz I was told so [10:50] schestowitz we had an outage because of a tumble dryer, router reset [10:50] vZS1_2 Ah [10:52] *vZS1 (~vZS1@host-92-20-231-81.as13285.net) has joined #techrights [10:54] vZS1_2 I'll log in some time over the weekend [10:54] vZS1_2 Once I have tested prototypes on my own node [10:56] *vZS1 has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [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. [10:56] vZS1_2 s/just/just use/ [10:57] 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. [10:58] vZS1_2 No additional software requres. IPNS comes bundles in with go-ipfs. [10:58] vZS1_2 s/bundles/bundled/ [10:58] vZS1_2 s/requres/required/ ● Jan 01 [11:04] schestowitz vZS1_2: the IP address will change over time [11:04] schestowitz I have no control over it [11:04] vZS1_2 I know, and that's fine. [11:04] vZS1_2 Let me explain a bit more [11:05] 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. [11:06] 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). [11:06] vZS1_2 It's like DNS but isn't DNS [11:07] vZS1_2 So I wouldn't need to keep asking you for your IP address. I could just query the IPNS object. [11:09] schestowitz Oh, I see... [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). [11:11] vZS1_2 Those hashes are a static hash that can be updated to point to arbitrary data. [11:13] 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. [11:14] 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. [11:14] vZS1_2 Analogous to how multiple DNS records can point to the same IP address. [11:15] vZS1_2 IPNS has the distinct advantage that you can point to arbitrary IPFS objects. This makes is much more general and capable. [11:15] vZS1_2 s/makes is/makes it/ [11:16] vZS1_2 So you could, for example, have a whole table of IP addresses AND port mappings. DNS can't do ports. [11:18] 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. [11:21] vZS1_2 There are HTTP gateways for IPNS as well so it's just as accessible as IPFS [11:22] vZS1_2 You just replace "/ipfs/CID" with "/ipns/CID" when you query the HTTP gateway [11:34] *chomwitt has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [11:55] scientes I downloaded like 3 4K alien movies, and they were all the same movie [11:55] scientes not like the same video, but the same plot ● Jan 01 [13:14] schestowitz haha [13:41] vZS1_2 schestowitz: I got a really messy prototype of the tmp file version working.

[17:47] 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. [17:47] schestowitz vista 10? [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. [17:48] DaemonFC[m] Yeah, the graphics chip in particular is a major departure from Intel's previous lineup. [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. [17:49] 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. [17:50] 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. [17:50] DaemonFC[m] It alarmed me at the time that it looked like they were heading in that direction. [17:52] DaemonFC[m] That's exactly how the management at Microsoft still strikes me. [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. [17:53] 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. [17:54] 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. [17:56] 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. [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. [17:57] DaemonFC[m] I think the people that got forced out might have made a credible threat to Android/iOS even. [17:57] schestowitz [17:49] pleroma.site and pleroma.fr still incoming ;-) ? [17:58] 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 [18:30] *Ariadne has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [18:31] *Ariadne (~ariadne@2602:fd37:1::86) has joined #techrights [18:32] DaemonFC[m] I saw two screens and I can't imagine how this is a product.

[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. [18:49] 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. [18:49] DaemonFC[m] The first Revolutionary Guard members were ICE.

[18:51] 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. [18:52] 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. [18:52] DaemonFC[m] They're not even concerned about the appearance of legitimacy. [18:53] 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. [18:54] 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.

[19:03] DaemonFC[m] This is priceless. Like anyone who wanted Trump gone is going to pay 6 times the normal rate to get a hotel room at some place that Trump owns.

[22:32] XRevan86 Music still overlaps with voices. Typical. [22:33] XRevan86 Starts with a horrible green screen in a truck cabin. [22:53] XRevan86 An IT guy casually cloned a dalek from cellular remnants without anyone knowing. Sounds like 2020 alright. [22:55] XRevan86 3D printing dalek tanks yea, also within reach. ● Jan 01 [23:02] schestowitz https://howiehawkins.us/how-progressive-democrats-almost-re-elected-trump/ [23:02] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-howiehawkins.us | How Progressive Democrats Almost Re-Elected Trump | Howie Hawkins for President | Angela Walker for Vice President [23:11] CrystalMath XRevan86: is this a new episode? or simply an episode you haven't seen before? [23:12] XRevan86 CrystalMath: new episode [23:12] CrystalMath i actually thought about watching the old show [23:12] CrystalMath i saw a small clip of it in some youtube video [23:12] CrystalMath and it seemed somewhat interesting, and quite nostalgic [23:13] CrystalMath i've never seen any of that show, btw [23:13] XRevan86 CrystalMath: I watched the old show since season 7 and the first 3 seasons. [23:13] XRevan86 A lot of lost episodes there, so I just skipped the Second Doctor and parts of the First. [23:14] XRevan86 but yea, it's gut [23:14] CrystalMath that's from like the 60s? [23:14] XRevan86 Season 7 starts exactly in 1970, so right :). [23:14] CrystalMath everything was wonderful in the 60s [23:15] CrystalMath it just all looked so much more meaningful [23:15] CrystalMath much more real [23:16] 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 [23:16] XRevan86 sounds plausible [23:16] CrystalMath on second thought [23:20] XRevan86 Finally, mass murder. Well, at least the series still delivers on that. [23:20] DaemonFC[m] Google keeps screwing up everything from News to Gmail for me because I'm on a VPN.

[23:56] schestowitz but anyway, alternative explanation is, all clubs are good [23:56] schestowitz so it's hard to get winning streams going this season [23:56] schestowitz or they lack motivation due to a lack of crowds [23:57] psydroid it must be a surreal experience to play without any crowds being present [23:57] schestowitz the PL folks add sounds of crowds [23:57] schestowitz you have to remind yourself this is fake, a template
