10:00.22tuor_The package network-manager is currently depending on systemd. Is there someone working on the network-manager? Is there a website with thecurrent  unsolved tasks?
10:05.11cyteentuor_: there is a de-systemd'd network-manager in experimental I believe.
10:05.53tuor_cyteen, how can I test it? Where should I report bugs if I find some?
10:06.28DocScrutinizer05first approach: stay in here
10:06.43DocScrutinizer05wait for more savvy people chime in
10:08.08tuor_DocScrutinizer05, What does "wait for more savvy people chime in" meen?
10:08.54DocScrutinizer05means the one who's working on network manager is also probably in this channel and eventaully will answer. Same for your other questions
10:09.35tuor_DocScrutinizer05, oh ok. Thx.

14:25.01dethastupid question (and yes I know it's an upstream thing, but maybe someone here knows background), why does devuan/debian have an ancient version of ansible? Does everybody just add the ubuntu ppa?

14:49.30Leander256it's a quite typical problem with some packages
14:49.55Leander256also, if memory serves, ansible encourages people to directly download from git

14:53.45dethadevops! admittedly they maintain stable repos for centos/fedora and ubuntu/debian that work. It is just annoying for people who run machines with no internet access, but only access to an internal mirror of the distro

20:36.05DocScrutinizer05reading/writing /dev/*mem with dd is not exactly straight thing either. easily causes kernel panic
20:36.29Juesto:o
20:37.26DocScrutinizer05(from addressing 0x00000000 which is identical to dereferencing an uninitialized pointer and thus causes the very classical SIGwhatever)

20:39.45DocScrutinizer05it doesn't nuke the cat process but the kernel dev driver
20:39.57DocScrutinizer05OOOPS
20:40.03DocScrutinizer05rather PANIC
20:40.46DocScrutinizer05diclaimer: literally years since I tested that
20:42.35DocScrutinizer05and I'm rather sure it's been kernel 2.6.28 or somesuch, which is ever older yet by a several more years
20:43.53DocScrutinizer05anyway accessing RAM absolute addr 0x00000000 seems no smart thing to do
20:45.28DocScrutinizer05potentially triggers kernel segfault or whatever
20:59.19DocScrutinizer05for your entertainment, presented to you by flu fool DocScrutinizer05 ;-) http://paste.opensuse.org/22072759 *of course* no WLAN and not even any tail -f process will run when kernel PANICs ;-P

21:26.00golinuxJust trying to keep the board uncluttered.  Now I'm seeing double . . .
21:27.15golinuxThe only one I ever see playing with infobot is YOU, Doc . . .
21:28.28DocScrutinizer05yes, it's a tool saving me /and many others who do the same) from memorizing and typing lengthy factoids as answer to user questions.
21:30.55golinuxBut I never see anybody asking infobot a question and I read all the logs.  So what good is it exactly?
21:31.25DocScrutinizer05exactly what I said: it is a shorthand expander
21:31.30DocScrutinizer05and a database
21:32.03golinuxIf it's never accessed except by you, what's the point?

21:35.59DocScrutinizer05could you explain how I could help out a user in here asking "is nm included to devuan" when the bot that has the answer is in anpother channel?
21:36.30DocScrutinizer05you seem to think I ask the bot for my own pleasure
21:36.46golinuxIf someone wants a bot answer they can go to a bot channel.
21:37.04golinuxI think you do because I don;t see anyone else doing it.
21:37.08DocScrutinizer05if somebody wants to rant, they might go to a rant channel
21:37.13DocScrutinizer05;-)
21:37.30golinuxNot ranting
21:37.56MinceR:>
21:38.12DocScrutinizer05you really don't get it. I ask the bot to answer questions on MY BEHALF to help out other users
21:38.39DocScrutinizer05how would a new user ever come to the idea to ask the bot?
21:39.27DocScrutinizer05nown THAT would be actually pretty silly when they would come here to ask the bot about anything, they could do that in a query
21:40.02*** join/#devuan rrq (~ralph@60-242-139-200.static.tpgi.com.au)
21:42.05DocScrutinizer05the bot is a user rolodex datamining tool present on freenode since Aug 16 21:01:06 1999 and currently in 127 channels, storing 119650 factoids
21:44.05*** join/#devuan pencilandpaper (~penciland@unaffiliated/pencilandpaper)
21:45.47DocScrutinizer05really not my fault that you don't like it and can't see its purpose. Others did, since almost 18 years (or longer)
21:47.54DocScrutinizer05since you got it on /ignore, let me quote it to also show a further feature while handing a recommended URL to you:
21:47.57DocScrutinizer05[2017-02-07 Tue 22:46:32] <DocScrutinizer05> wiki infobot
21:47.59DocScrutinizer05[2017-02-07 Tue 22:46:36] <infobot> At https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infobot (URL), Wikipedia explains: "{{Infobox software | name = Infobot | logo = | screenshot = | caption = | collapsible = | author = Kevin Lenzo | developer = | released = 1995 | latest release version = 1.5.3 | latest release date = {{release date and age|2008|08|01}} | latest preview version = | latest preview date = | frequently updated = | programming language =
21:48.00DocScrutinizer05Perl | operating system = Unix-like | platform = | ...
21:49.19DocScrutinizer05alas that function didn't get patched to cope with wikipedia's 'new' infobox layout, thus it looks a tad cluttered
21:51.16golinuxDocScrutinizer05 needs some Kaopectate
21:51.38DocScrutinizer05whatever that is
21:51.57DocScrutinizer05I could ask "wiki kaopectate but I don't want to annoy you ;-)
21:52.57DocScrutinizer05or !dict kaopectate
21:53.34golinuxhttps://lmsptfy.com/
21:54.37DocScrutinizer05meh
21:54.58DocScrutinizer05no fuckin way
21:55.47DocScrutinizer05if you want to annoy me, I may also ask the bot and not care if that annoys you
21:55.55DocScrutinizer05!dict kaopectate
21:56.23DocScrutinizer05seems the bot is more helpful than you ;-)
21:57.02cyteenWell I didn't know about info bot, I'm always grateful to learn about something useful.
21:59.32DocScrutinizer05[quote wikipedia] Because of its ability to store statements and re-state them with ease, many IRC channel operators use an Infobot to store information such as the channel rules so they could easily give them to newcomers to the channel. [/quote]

22:01.07cyteenIt's got to be better than having to search the bot bot me, which is what I'd earlier today to answer a question.
22:01.53DocScrutinizer05botbot is a chanlog that stores everything and nobody can recall the exact location of a particular answer
22:03.25DocScrutinizer05so you need to search it. that's fime for new users and old farts alike when searching for an almist forgotten bit. infobot OTOH has often needed short factoids on request and the ones who care use the shorthand to invoke them
22:03.46DocScrutinizer05!amprolla
22:03.47infobotnextime gave an excellent explanation how amprolla works, at https://botbot.me/freenode/devuan/2016-05-07/?msg=65646427&page=4, or https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/amprolla
22:04.12Gupyeah i've seen the bots used a lot in other channels, saves copy and pasting common answers for the most active helpers
22:04.26DocScrutinizer05exactly
22:06.31DocScrutinizer05anyway when you hate the bot, place it on your /ignore list, simple as that. When you like to learn more about it, /query infobot    and say "help"
22:06.47DocScrutinizer05n8
22:08.15Gupcould it be programmed and tested in another channel though to keep the clutter out of here? maybe less hate for it then? ;)
22:15.24*** join/#devuan blueness (~blueness@gentoo/developer/blueness)
22:16.01DocScrutinizer05hmm, "prohramming" as in teaching new factoids makes sense in public channel so those who care learn about the existence of the factoids. Otherwise those factoids would be pretty pointless. All other administrative chitchat of course usually should happen out of band
22:17.37DocScrutinizer05I did a search (!listjeys #devuan *track*) publicly to teach a bit of advanced usage, today. I really do *very* rarely
22:22.12DocScrutinizer05actually I frogot the factoid key since the bot is so rarely used in here, that's why I had to do a search at all ;-) And I hope some curious users got interested in the bot by me doing this, so it will get used a tad more frequently in the way it's meant to be used
22:22.44Juestotry help?
22:22.58DocScrutinizer05Juesto: yes, you can do that
