trinque: lemme see, cruciform stick around a minute so we can sort this. [01:08]
trinque: ah crap, just noticed the timestamps. [01:09]

billymg: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/26/ossasepia-logs-for-26-apr-2020#1025293 << noted, that makes sense [02:16]
ossabot: Logged on 2020-04-26 16:27:55 diana_coman: anyways, to my mind the benefit would be in reaching out to new people rather than trying to convince anyone who has already made their mind to not use it. [02:16]

diana_coman: huh, nicoleci @ bimboclub can publish apparently even daily records, what weekly [09:16]
diana_coman: or uhm, was she only mocking poor feedbot so it reported one as three, lmao. [09:23]
spyked: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/25/ossasepia-logs-for-25-apr-2020#1025242 <– I'm grabbing them off http://logs.ossasepia.com/static/log_db.gz once in a while; are you planning to decommission ossabot? [10:44]
ossabot: Logged on 2020-04-25 16:42:34 diana_coman: for that matter – hanbot , spyked , trinque , BingoBoingo – do you want dumps of the logs for your chans? [10:44]
diana_coman: spyked: yes, that's the full db dump (postgres), I had even forgotten about it; I guess you're right and whoever wants them can just grab that one with all and be up to date on their chan anyway. [11:09]
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: ^ the log_db.gz has it all, as spyked says. [11:09]
diana_coman: spyked: re ossabot – tbh I don't see the point for keeping it up at this juncture; I'll get around to make a script to update all the links from current loggers and with that, I can finally get rid of the flask with all it zugwerk and assorted shit; even if I consider redundancy, I'd much rather run another copy of sonofawitch on the logs server though atm it sounds like major overkill to me [11:13]
diana_coman: for a while I'll just let them be both in parallel merely to not keep that server idle until I decide what to do with it otherwise but dunno – do you see any specific case to keep ossabot up? [11:14]
diana_coman: dorion: ping me when you are around. [11:16]
diana_coman: any ossabot users – let me know if there's some other functionality/whatever you find useful and is currently missing from sonofawitch & blog-based setup. [11:17]
diana_coman: whaack: what happened to you in the end? [11:30]
diana_coman: jurov: as I understand it, you are currently the de facto owner of "bitcoin foundation", is that correct? [11:31]
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: how's the montevideo standard doing? are you still working on/with those scripts otherwise or is that of no use/interest for this new thing? [11:33]
spyked: diana_coman, tbh I haven't yet used the mpwp-based log frontend enough to stumble upon any missing functionality. I'll give it a try for a week or so, I'll let you know if I find something missing [11:37]
spyked: (and well, probably more than a week, given that this is going to be the main logger for #o) [11:37]
diana_coman: spyked: sounds good, thanks. [11:41]
diana_coman: as illustrated earlier, sonofawitch cites the lines too if you use the links from the blog [11:42]
trinque: diana_coman: voice model's params should be working as expected now. I'm around all day, so lmk if not. [15:57]
trinque: in other news, I tried raising ave1 on the comms a few times to avoid repeating work, to no avail. [15:58]
trinque: I've rewritten that gcc bootstrapper such that one can actually tell where the flags for the build are coming from. the thing was a heinous piece of shit (long before ave1 found it and patched) [15:59]
trinque: I've got the whole thing weighing in at less than 100loc, produces static gcc, gnat, binutils [16:01]
trinque: this is part of a larger bootstrapping project which builds a busybox+musl env which can rebuild the entire toolchain. [16:02]
trinque: rather, which can build an environment within which the toolchain can be reliably rebuilt [16:04]
trinque: I ought to have an item to share soon [16:04]

dorion: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/26/ossasepia-logs-for-26-apr-2020/#1025309 – I've simplified a lot, I'll have a final draft to you in 24h. [20:56]
sonofawitch: 2020-04-26 21:51:53 (#ossasepia) jfw: dorion: how's it going with the sales article revisions? [20:56]
dorion: hi diana_coman, I'm present. [20:59]
diana_coman: trinque: that sounds like a lot of work done really; hopefully digesting the output when/if you publish it won't give anyone indigestion or something; ave1 seemed to follow & respond here if/when there was some concrete problem raised but possibly too late now anyway? [21:06]
diana_coman: dorion: what's your plan re using those resources ? [21:11]
sonofawitch: 2020-04-16 17:35:08 (#ossasepia) dorion: more charged when I consider what it cost me, but I'm ready to move forward and use the resources I sitll have. [21:11]
dorion: diana_coman, the first priority is to pick back up with the planning and reporting. [21:14]
diana_coman: well, if it's too much structure to maintain directly, work out something else that you can maintain and still provides some reliable way of interaction & communication otherwise [21:18]
jfw: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/27/ossasepia-logs-for-27-Apr-2020/#1025347 – alright [21:18]
sonofawitch: 2020-04-27 20:56:24 (#ossasepia) dorion: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/26/ossasepia-logs-for-26-apr-2020/#1025309 – I've simplified a lot, I'll have a final draft to you in 24h. [21:18]
diana_coman: dorion: do you plan anything with your own blog? [21:20]
dorion: diana_coman it was these last few weeks, or at least I let it be too much. [21:20]
dorion: diana_coman yes, I plan to pick back up the writing. [21:21]
jfw: diana_coman: re the new logs, some features coming to mind are date forward/backward links, a stable URL for the live log for a given channel, and raw log access [21:21]
diana_coman: jfw: hm, for the first 2 I thought the category works well enough; not a big issue to add them otherwise if they really save that much trouble, huh [21:23]
diana_coman: raw log yes, can set up a db dump of the logs and link it, it's even somewhere on the list indeed [21:24]
diana_coman: dorion: ok then, guess I'll see that happening anyway. [21:24]
jfw: ah, category might be fine, I'll give that usage a try. Would just lose the browser back/forward chain through dates. [21:25]
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: With the lack of news I have had to cover I have been making a deep dive into the world of livestreaming these past few weeks trying to connect to the kids today. [21:34]
BingoBoingo: I do the news, but the absurdity of how little is happening in the world… it turns my news reporting into a deadpan act [21:35]
BingoBoingo: I'm still playing with the scripts, but I've had so little news to spread that I've been trying to make the most of it by putting myself on cam [21:37]
BingoBoingo: And trying to socially engineer an audience [21:37]
BingoBoingo: And learning the whole AV thing the hard way. Turns out concrete walls suck for microphone echo, so mitigating that is an ongoing battle [21:38]
jfw: ah, so http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/25/ossasepia-logs-for-25-apr-2020/#1025220 is from experience! [21:39]
sonofawitch: 2020-04-25 06:42:19 (#ossasepia) BingoBoingo: Still, no video solution today is not shitty in profound ways. Zoom mostly just "works" for sad yet common values of works [21:39]
BingoBoingo: jfw: It is [21:40]
BingoBoingo: I have a blog post that's been baking, but as I learn more it keeps needing profound revisions [21:41]
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: it's a direction to explore I suppose; at least you learn about recordings and videos, after all. [21:42]
BingoBoingo: I've so far managed to socially engineer a very loyal if very small audience [21:43]
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: do they come to talk to you on irc otherwise? or adverse to it ? [21:43]
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: They seem averse to it. They are all prisoners of the walled garden world. [21:44]
BingoBoingo: I tell them I'm down here in Uruguay live from the free world, they tell me how bad it is in the zone [21:45]
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: how do you see this audience-to-be-built useful to you? [21:45]
diana_coman: uhm; that sounds so much like …idle chat at the gates, dunno [21:45]
diana_coman: maybe I'm just too harsh or something but I'd rather go and count the trees in the woods, for sure. [21:46]
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: I see it as part of the ongoing war against Pantsuit. It does seem to devolve frequently into idle chat. I just keep hammering that down here in Best America, I am free. They in North America are not. [21:46]
BingoBoingo: I've done some streams from the great outdoors too. [21:47]
BingoBoingo: I don't expect much out of this except the fun I get from the trolling [21:48]
BingoBoingo: And the lessons in how to video. And the opportunity to expose myself and wade through the shit. [21:48]
diana_coman: well, I wish you all the best there; I have ample experience listening to people *complaining* about the same issues over and over and over (and over!) again for 20 years and even agreeing with all sorts of solutions and options and whatnots – still doing exactly 0. [21:48]
BingoBoingo: Thank you. It's just such a weird different thing that I'm still trying to probe where it could go if it isn't a deadend by design. [21:51]
diana_coman: nothing wrong with that, for sure. [21:52]
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the platform I've been using has a random "versus challenge" that pairs streamers up and puts them side by side. The bulk of what that turns up is naked dudes in bed waiting for a girl, but every now and then a redditor cries because they are triggered by my being outside. [22:11]
diana_coman: oh huh, on platform too [22:11]
BingoBoingo: I don't know of any sane streaming thing, so it's the sad situation where I'm wading through a walled garden full of shit [22:12]
diana_coman: hm, apparently my connection is acting up today [22:30]
cruciform: diana_coman, ah, so it's still today (not yet tonight), which means my publishing of http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/26/ossasepia-logs-for-26-apr-2020#1025303 still qualifies as on time! [22:40]
ossabot: Logged on 2020-04-26 16:45:47 cruciform: diana_coman, I went from not-doing-a-lot-inside to not-doing-a-lot outside for the last few days; I'll have a post up by tomorrow eve http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/26/ossasepia-logs-for-26-apr-2020#1025296 [22:40]
diana_coman: cruciform: well, I'm still in the UK, yes! (logger's own server is not in the UK though, so it keeps its own time and todays/tomorrows, lolz) [22:41]
cruciform: trinque, I'm around for the next few hours http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2020-04-26#1025310 [22:42]
ossabot: Logged on 2020-04-26 20:30:54 trinque: lemme see, cruciform stick around a minute so we can sort this. [22:42]
diana_coman: ha, congrats to former and current YH members for making apparently cruciform finally get off his arse! [22:52]
cruciform: lol, next step – stay off it! [22:56]
diana_coman: cruciform: traditional implements for that come in all sorts of pointy and sharp shapes! [22:57]
cruciform: I knew my BDSM-y fears were legit! [22:57]
diana_coman: fears are always legit! what you do with them though is …flexible, lol [22:58]
cruciform: lol [22:59]
cruciform: aren't fears mostly spinning/psychogenic noise, most of the time? [22:59]
diana_coman: cruciform: well, how would you tell "mostly this or not", anyway? the way I see it, they are …a signal; that's about it; usually it tends to be a signal of unknown rather than of anything else, true, but that's another thing anyway [23:01]
cruciform: diana_coman, good point re: how would one tell – I suppose the big problem with fears/anxiety is that they're difficult to self-diagnose, let alone self-treat [23:03]
cruciform: whereas a friend can be the voice of reason; tell you you're being stupid and they suddenly vanish [23:03]
diana_coman: cruciform: dunno about that, "treatment" can be as simple as …find a bigger fear, lol [23:04]
cruciform: diana_coman, see: I'd've never thought of that – problem solved! [23:04]
diana_coman: ha! if you say it does, I'll believe it worked for you. (and yeah, I saw people who can calm down – if only there's someone calm in charge, sure) [23:05]
diana_coman: cruciform: but you see, this is why I'm saying it's a signal – it's not random, no [23:07]
diana_coman: this doesn't mean it says what you expect/like/were used to think it can say, though. [23:08]
trinque: cruciform: hey, did voicing yourself work? [23:09]
cruciform: diana_coman, wrt finding a bigger fear, I've found that mechanism helpful in getting work done by making a concrete commitment: If I say I'll do something by a certain time, I fear more ruining my reputation by not delivering, than I “fear” getting off arse and doing the work [23:10]
cruciform: trinque, I don't think so; do I need to lose voice before I can try self-upping? [23:11]
diana_coman: cruciform: heh, that's motivation by means of own pride; if it works, good enough; at some point you might finally develop immunity to "what others think" and so …better find better ways to motivate yourself by then. [23:11]
diana_coman: !!down #ossasepia cruciform [23:11]
diana_coman: there, problem solved, cruciform ! try !!up now [23:12]
diana_coman: trinque: cruciform says deedbot is still claiming he can't up himself [23:13]
diana_coman: cruciform restored to talk-mode by direct poking at ChanServ [23:16]
cruciform: diana_coman, if not pride, what's a better way to motivate self? [23:16]
diana_coman: heh – in a nutshell, own interest! seriously, the big difference there is external vs internal motivator [23:17]
diana_coman: the "what" is not all that important – the source is more important [23:17]
cruciform: diana_coman, so, "I should do x because it'll be good for me", rather than "good for my self-image" (as in the case of pride)? [23:19]
diana_coman: apparently cruciform turned out in the end a very citable article this time: "Now, it's pretty absurd that a 31 year old man can't stick to a weekly schedule" . I'll add to this – it is! Indeed, it is!! [23:20]
diana_coman: cruciform: eh, there's no should! [23:20]
diana_coman: "I will do x because I decided to do it!" [23:20]
diana_coman: and yeah, you get to define that decide – because it's good for you or because it's bad for you, entirely up to you; but ffs, decide and stick to it. [23:21]
diana_coman: can even be "because I can't stand NOT doing it!!!" [23:21]
diana_coman: perfectly valid and usually even works better [23:22]
trinque: hm, this is pretty weird. cruciform it rejected your up request? [23:22]
diana_coman: cruciform: try it again in here [23:22]
trinque: !!up #ossasepia trinque [23:22]
deedbot: Get your OTP: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=gk9o [23:22]

cruciform: the # [23:23]
trinque: hey, if we're at UX bugs, we're making progress [23:23]
diana_coman: ahaha [23:23]
trinque: lets make sure the confirm works [23:23]
cruciform: !!v E5EB00FBA8000C7D9E6CF7758777390D7EAFFA06BF4F038E91621BE7564033B6 [23:24]
deedbot: You are now voiced in #ossasepia [23:24]
diana_coman: yay! [23:24]
cruciform: trinque, thanks [23:24]
trinque: hey np, glad it works. [23:24]
trinque: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/27/ossasepia-logs-for-27-Apr-2020#1025350 << yeah, I ftr don't count ave1's work on the thing time wasted, but every time I went to build it I ran into some issue that was apparently only happening to me, w/e. when I went to try and fix the thing, I found it to be pointlessly complicated, not due to ave1, but the gregor guy that made it in the first place. [23:31]
ossabot: Logged on 2020-04-27 16:28:56 diana_coman: trinque: that sounds like a lot of work done really; hopefully digesting the output when/if you publish it won't give anyone indigestion or something; ave1 seemed to follow & respond here if/when there was some concrete problem raised but possibly too late now anyway? [23:31]
trinque: so I finally said to hell with it all, and started chopping pieces out of it until I understood how each component was actually getting its inputs, and what each component took as directive to statically link. [23:31]
trinque: (and of course they all wanted different things: here's how you say it to gcc, here's how you say it to binutils, piles of bullshit more there) [23:32]
diana_coman: myeah, I can imagine [23:33]
diana_coman: in other logger testing, apparently cruciform's inverted quotation marks are not logger-approved, lol; I'll have to check that out. [23:34]
cruciform: diana_coman, so, motivation stems from a comitment to one' [23:38]
cruciform: s own will? http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/27/ossasepia-logs-for-27-Apr-2020#1025427 [23:38]
ossabot: Logged on 2020-04-27 18:43:07 diana_coman: "I will do x because I decided to do it!" [23:38]
diana_coman: cruciform: internal motivation stems from …internal own life in a word, yes; absent/insufficient that internal own life, the only alternative is indeed outside motivation; funnily enough, it's there that you are going bdsm if you look for the way to be strongly motivated from the outside, lol. [23:42]
trinque: also inside, potentially! [23:44]
cruciform: lol [23:44]
jfw: re funny quote marks, they look like utf-8 to me, and the ossasepia.com page proclaims utf-8 too, so… I'd guess some part of the pipeline is reading as bytes/latin1 then writing back as unicode [23:47]
diana_coman: myeah, most likely some unicode mess somewhere; I'll have the pleasure to dig to find out where. [23:48]
diana_coman: anyways, it might need to wait a while in the long queue of stuff to do. [23:48]
jfw: I'll be back tomorrow & with an article too. [23:51]
diana_coman: jfw: sounds good [23:51]
diana_coman: shall be back tomorrow. [23:52]
