10:07.46 | DusXMT | Well, curiosity still exists by me =3 |
10:08.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | RH definitely has enough drones in the freezer to warm up in case Poettering would leave systemd cabal |
10:11.39 | Tear | i don't know much about this topic, but are there any theories on why all those distros switched to systemd right away, ignoring or handwaving all user feedback, and even their own procedures for introducing drastic changes? |
10:11.48 | Tear | it just seems really fishy to me |
10:14.28 | DusXMT | Indeed. That's also the reason why I switched: I wouldn't want to use it even if it was superior, if it was being forced upon people without their consent |
10:14.29 | Tear | and all the arguments given by the decision-makers were either false, non-sequitur or other various logical fallacies |

10:30.31 | DocScrutinizer05 | I guess quite a fair bit of the "success" is due to lobbying |
10:33.16 | DocScrutinizer05 | then the promise that everything will be easier for the distro maintainers since they only have to support one init system. And once one big player been on board, the latter argument counts power-2 since the distro maintainers have the choice to either jump the systemd train or have a *lot* of work rolling their own init system integration of *all* packages from now on |
10:46.56 | Tear | is supporting a different init system really that much work? |
10:47.42 | KatolaZ | Tear: in principle, not that much |
10:48.03 | KatolaZ | in practice, systemd is encompassing many more functionalities than that of an init system |
10:48.13 | Tear | i just don't see how making a single script out of a template is more effort than backporting patches, modifying makefiles to match the distro's filesystem structure, deciding stability, making sure all packages are built against the libs currently in the repos... |
10:48.15 | KatolaZ | and many applications have started relying on those functionalities |
10:48.26 | KatolaZ | which makes maintaining them a PITA |
10:48.30 | Tear | it seems like 1% of the work maintainers do |
10:48.52 | KatolaZ | Tear: you are welcome to help :) |
10:49.28 | Tear | i haven't tried devuan yet, i'm considering it |
10:50.26 | Tear | i'm on gentoo right now but some of the software i want is available as .deb only, the pc is a multimedia workstation |
10:50.59 | Tear | i could theoretically create ebuilds for them, but switching to devuan might end up requiring less effort in the long run |
10:51.02 | KatolaZ | Tear: it *seems* like 1% of the work of maintainers |
10:51.18 | KatolaZ | but the problem is not materially providing the init scripts for all the services |
10:51.29 | KatolaZ | which would be less than a couple hundreds ayway |
10:51.39 | KatolaZ | the problem is removing the dependencies on systemd |
10:51.47 | Tear | now, yes |
10:51.51 | Tear | but that wasn't an argument back then |
10:51.57 | KatolaZ | back when? |
10:52.07 | Tear | what i was talking about, when it was being introduced into distros |
10:52.44 | KatolaZ | IMHO it's irrelevant to speculate about how systemd got its way through the major distros |
10:52.47 | KatolaZ | it's there now |
10:52.59 | KatolaZ | and we have to work hard if we want to provide a solid alternative |
10:53.16 | KatolaZ | or we will eventually be engulfed by "progress" |

16:57.46 | Akuli | maybe you want this? https://devuan.org/os/mirrors/packages.devuan.org |
16:57.53 | DusXMT | Akuli: try duckduckgo, if you surround something in double-quotes there all results _have_ to contain the exact phrase |
16:58.00 | Akuli | google dos that too |
16:58.02 | Akuli | does |
16:58.07 | DusXMT | Really? nice |
16:58.14 | Akuli | i use it all the time |
16:59.26 | DusXMT | 's been using duckduckgo for a while now, they say they give unbiast search results (that is, uncatered towards the user), which I find cool |
17:00.13 | Akuli | i might move over to it some day also |
17:01.31 | furrywolf | no, google does NOT. double quotes just makes it more likely to include the phrase. |
17:02.13 | furrywolf | google will still quite happily return results without the phrase you searched for if it thinks you're more likely to make them money that way, or whatever metric they use... |
17:03.38 | Akuli | :D |
17:03.54 | Akuli | it has been good enough for me |
17:04.42 | DusXMT | once searched for the largest number one can store in a 32-bit value on google, was too lazy to put (2^32)-1 into the calculator... got really silly results, like this one fake download page with torrents to ebooks about the size of 32-bit numbers, with download speeds and 300~ MB sizes... silly internet |
17:06.16 | furrywolf | fake pdfs come back way too often. |
17:07.23 | furrywolf | if I ran a search engine, rather than using my powers for evil (like pushing useless crap to the top of results), I'd use my powers for good and make sure any site that seems to be returning documents containing content from sites known to generate original content is pushed to the very bottom of the results... |
17:07.45 | furrywolf | most of those fake sites are filled with content scraped from other sites |
17:07.54 | furrywolf | and I know google has the processing power to notice this. |
17:08.05 | Akuli | DusXMT, i think you can find that on wikipedia |

17:08.28 | DusXMT | Akuli: You can also find that out with a calculator =3 |
17:08.56 | DusXMT | I know that it's a 10-digit number with 47 as the first two digits though |
17:09.32 | furrywolf | ~math (2^32)-1 |
17:09.33 | DusXMT | whoops, 42- |
17:09.36 | furrywolf | ~(2^32)-1 |
17:09.36 | infobot | 33 |
17:09.36 | Akuli | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem |
17:09.46 | furrywolf | hrmm, infobot sucks. :P |
17:10.02 | MinceR | lol |
17:10.10 | DusXMT | 4294967295 |
17:10.13 | MinceR | i think it interpreted ^ as xor |
17:10.19 | MinceR | ~(2**32)-1 |
17:10.19 | infobot | 4294967295 |
17:10.51 | furrywolf | and here I was assuming it'd use the same syntax as bc, units, etc... what the heck uses **? |
17:11.08 | DusXMT | furrywolf: fortran, from what I remember |
17:11.25 | furrywolf | ok... I do hope infobot is not written in fortran. :) |
17:11.30 | Akuli | oh, its unsigned 32-bit integer :D |
17:12.26 | furrywolf | damnit, I put up a load of laundry, and ten minutes later the sky clouds over. |
17:12.38 | DusXMT | yup, signed is halved (with negative having 1 more digit, at least in two's complement) |
17:12.50 | DusXMT | s/digit/number/ |
17:13.48 | MinceR | python uses ** too |
17:14.00 | furrywolf | all the more reason not to use python. |
17:14.14 | MinceR | lol |
17:14.23 | furrywolf | bbl, need to dig through my tooling and make sure I don't have a 3/4" boring bar before I buy a new one. |
17:14.26 | MinceR | well, ^ is already taken by xor, due to c |
17:14.35 | MinceR | ** is common enough to be a good replacement |
17:14.36 | DusXMT | furrywolf: Hey, fortran is legendary in the science community, it is the de_facto science language, so no need to discriminate it :) |
17:14.40 | pdot | thanks everyone, after reading the title bar, I'll wait until the repos become 'stable' before recommending inclusion to my local mirror. |
17:15.08 | DusXMT | s/it/its syntax when it comes to math/ |
17:16.48 | MinceR | bash uses ** too |
17:16.51 | MinceR | % echo $(( ( 2 ** 32 ) - 1 )) |
17:16.51 | MinceR | 4294967295 |
17:16.53 | MinceR | oops, zsh |
17:17.03 | MinceR | but so does bash :> |
17:17.07 | MinceR | mincer@darkstar:~$ echo $(( ( 2 ** 32 ) - 1 )) |
17:17.08 | MinceR | 4294967295 |
17:17.53 | Akuli | are we now going to ditch everything that uses **? |
17:17.54 | Akuli | :D |
17:17.59 | Akuli | i hope not |
17:18.09 | MinceR | lol |
17:21.38 | DusXMT | But then again, bash isn't exactly the ideal language for number-crunching |
17:23.36 | MinceR | it's ** in R as well |

17:52.58 | furrywolf | I hate my back. I just put together a small plastic tote (one of the 6" deep half-height ones) that I can't move. |
17:53.53 | furrywolf | bets Lydia_K is strong... :P |
17:59.20 | fsmithred | furrywolf, are you hauling gold? |
17:59.29 | furrywolf | HSS and carbide... |
17:59.44 | furrywolf | tungsten carbide |
18:00.24 | fsmithred | want some scary stats? |
18:00.39 | gci_admin | furrywolf, have you considered getting a luggage cart to haul your tote? |
18:01.09 | furrywolf | I've considered suing the person who killed my back until I have enough money for someone else to move heavy things for me. |
18:01.42 | fsmithred | 185 lb person holding a 30 lb weight with arms hanging down and elbows bent 90 degrees has 2-3 times their body weight on lower lumbar discs. |
18:01.47 | gci_admin | furrywolf, well, there is the law suit route. But in the interim maybe one of these would help - https://www.amazon.com/travel-accessories-luggage-cart/b?ie=UTF8&node=2477389011 |
18:02.39 | furrywolf | gci_admin: I have a half dozen handtrucks, three large 6-wheel carts, about the same number of moving dollies, an engine hoist, and a 3200lb crane... |
18:02.56 | gci_admin | furrywolf, ha! Nevermind me then. ;) |
18:03.54 | furrywolf | and none of them will help unless I can clear a path through the living room and greenhouse. heh. |
18:06.07 | furrywolf | https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cgw4-y1UoAABijU.jpg I bought two of those from costco... one of them I put big wheels on. works great for moving large, heavy things around outside. |
18:07.10 | furrywolf | when the wheels fail, costco disposes of them instead of repairs them.... so I got two with some bad wheels, used the wheels from one to fix the other, put jumbo wheels on one (10" and 12" pneumatic), and have two very nice outdoor carts. |
18:09.12 | gci_admin | Love the large cart with only a pair of sandal on it. Classic! :D |
18:09.24 | gci_admin | *sandals |
18:09.35 | furrywolf | I don't know the history of the picture... just did a google image search and picked the first one where you could see the cart. heh. |
