lol, I'm sorting SSDs by price, and at the very top is a 'IDE flash module' with 512 MB. The sorting can't handle the ridiculous price of over 100 monies per gigabyte. The next one in the list is only 0.04 monies/GB.

Here's the 4 GB version of the same thing: delock.com/produkt/54146/merkmale.html

Guessing it's a thing for ancient industrial equipment.

oh wow lol

"I kind of killed Mercurial at Mozilla" glandium.org/blog/?p=4346 news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38369433

so that's who did it!

"Mercurial was developed by Olivia Mackall, who was a Linux kernel developer back then." that name didn't sound familiar so I looked it up and oh uh okay yeah I remembered them by another name >.>

> You could get a full clone of mozilla-central in less than half an hour, when at the time, other similar tools would take more than 10 hours (needless to say, it's even worse now).

Oof, looking forward to that in #codearchiver...

Cc pabs in case you haven't seen it yet.

I've never heard of SVK or Monotone before.

And TIL Git Bundle URIs. Very nice.

I uploaded some KDE git bundles to archive.org, when the Ukraine war started and some devs (on both sides) were worried about the future of their Internet connectivity

this would let them do an initial clone using the torrent even

but I haven't updated them >_<

git really needs a torrent mode

interesting problem brought up today... suppose you have a large compressed file which has long runs of zero-bytes, like a raw disk image piped into gzip; how do you uncompress it into a sparse file, so you don't have to actually write gigabytes of zeros to the output file on disk?

ooo we could do and nft of every repo

s/and/an

there’s also code.google.com/archive/p/gittorrent but it was stillborn

what was that token idea where everything is stored on everyones computer or whatever?

the really shit idea

storj?

wdym? they all store a copy of the entire blockchain on everyone's computer :P

i remember waiting back when for “the blockchain” to download to my mac

fireonlive: thats more like a githubtorrent IIRC

ye seems to be

chia?

I think thats it. Storj

storj and filecoin are "some people provide storage and get paid in tokens, other people pay tokens to store their data"

there was one that everyone flocked to unlimited storage providers for to earn “money”

Which also contributed to them ending the unlimited storage lol

chia is even worse than storj, at least storj stores data *someone* finds valuable

chia is "calculate and store useless data on disk (in the same way bitcoin mining is useless calculations) as a replacement to proof of work" which is much worse

Holy shit who the fuck came up with that idea

proof-of-keeping-useless-data

bitcoin-like proof-of-work is bad for the environment because it needs more and more electricity! let's make a system that uses a *different* scarce resource, disk storage instead of computing power!

Always fun to watch videos of people building multi petabyte storage solutions just to store chia and try to be "profitable"

I want to stab the inventors

me too

that_lurker: lemme guess, they fail

here, go stab: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bram_Cohen

and you know Nicholas is serious because he hasn’t said he wants to stab me yet!

I mean the only time I have ever seen anything like bitcoin remotely helpful is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridcoin

last I checked chia prices were going down and down

bittorrent good, chia bad

nicolas17: Well they can run them, but there is no raid so its just bulk storage

that_lurker: I meant the "profitable" part

Once you fill that you could be profitable for a short while as the hardness increases.

more miners bringing up the difficulty, and selling the tokens as soon as they earn them (because pretty much nobody actually *wants* chia coins or accepts them as payment) bringing down the price, and now your pile of disks is not making enough to cover the costs

but that fucking project made hard drive prices spike a few years back

xchscan.com/charts/netspace chia ~30EiB!!!!

Gridcoin isnt too bad because its linked in to BOINC

Holy shit why the fuck would you but EiB amounts

Donate that shit to IA

I wonder how much of that is on unlimited storage lol

Sam's back man

Adam D'Angelo is still on the new board - the one who has been speculated to have been the ring master of this ousting circus

Any eggdrop karma bets on how long this lasts?

nicolas17: Re sparse files, I've played with `dd conv=sparse` as well as `fallocate -d` before, but I don't remember the pitfalls. The latter's for in-place replacement of holes in existing files, so probably not suitable here.

JAA: dd conv=sparse seems to be the solution here :)

:-)

I currently have about 50 terminals open. Send help please.

Actually, probably more, it's 40 terminal windows, several with multiple tabs.

YOLO and tmux kill-session -a

or more yolo pkill -f tmux

sama is back?!

fuck me sideways this openai/microsoft stuff is wild lol

sam's back, baby!

that_lurker: Bold of you to assume I was sane enough to put these in tmux.

fireonlive - at the rate they've been going, that's so old news now :P

xP true true

i’ll say he lasts a day

im suprised Microsoft did not just buy the whole OpenAI. They should have some $80 billion lying around somewhere

Technically not possible given it's owned by a non-profit.

"Cool I wonder what the grateful youths of CCP china are doing to contribute to their bright furry futures.

Whoa, something fucked up one of my terminals so much that none of the usual recovery mechanisms work. Impressive.

> tcsetattr: Input/output error

impressive!

Pressing keys randomly works in about 50% of the cases. Even after `reset`.

As in, I might have to type rressseet<Enter><Enter><Enter> to execute that. lol

oh

I saw that happen once

something was running and reading from that shell's stdin

so my keystrokes randomly went to that process or to the shell

Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Although I ^C'd the process that was causing the tcsetattr error.

Indeed, the subprocess keeps running, huh.

`cat <(ssh -t host 'while :; do echo huh; sleep 1; done')`

(Please don't ask.)

ah yes my case involved ssh too

maybe half your keystrokes are *going to the ssh server* :D

Yep

Most likely, but wtf.

This feels like a Bash bug. The subprocess doesn't get killed on ^C and also doesn't show up in `jobs`.

I'll ask about it over there.

the things JAA does to terminals and shells….

could make a saw movie

:3

I want to play a game... with the terminal.

:D

Haha, nice

Small addition lounge.kuhaon.fun/folder/3b2ea15966551775/image.png

So the TL;DR is: SSH runs as a background processes. It has no access to the terminal, but its stdin is still connected to it. ^C doesn't kill background processes because it isn't supposed to. Bash doesn't even expose these background processes except for $! for the last one. Beyond that, you have to use something external like `ps`.

No access to the terminal is why tcsetattr fails. stdin still being connected is why typed characters randomly disappear into the ether.

heyyyy

come here often, stranger?

scaruffi.com 4chanmusic.fandom.com/wiki/4chanmusic_Wiki reddit.com/r/indieheads rateyourmusic.com last.fm

scrauffi much better than fantano

last fm is proto spotify inspiration

4chan going toxic doesn't surprise too much

but not as toxic as rateyourmusic or last fm or spotify

atleast they're honest contrarians

cocky but honest and chill

last fm is pretty much stuck in that 2010s 4chan phase

I should reply playing dumb and assuming crypto = cryptography

barto: i agree, but mostly because I can't stand the idea of the nested middlemen for some sense of security that can be more effectively achieved with existing tools

generally I don't have a problem with them, but I get itchy when I run docker in a VM
