Last Notes npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller So the bgp daemon is called BIRD because the bgp sessions are flapping?? npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…v6fw the point of how it's different from the "regular internet" is that it's not the ISP's addresses, it's mine (technically rented) npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…v6fw I went from "I can legally broadcast over radio frequencies with my own antenna from my house" to "I can legally send traffic with my own IP addresses from my house" :-) npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller I not exactly sure how I went from a ham radio exam to owning ASN to doing anycast from various points of presence I have in Europe but I just caught myself checking the colo pieces with connections to US IXPs and it might be getting out of hand. A bit. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller It's me, your weekly #emacs rambling birb. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…m4ns I found that one (I actually use it to add emacs-specific binaries into its scope). My problem is that I need to have that effectively per-project. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller My #emacs progress insofar. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…x3yv *sobs in a sad secure VM with no TPM at all* npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…x3yv oh, it looks like they finished the UI work? I might give it a second look then. Hopefully there's a data migration story. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…x3yv I considered openbao but I'm not there yet. OpenTofu was an easy switch, but I already have vault in my infra and it works and it's the piece of infra I don't want to modify much; too many things depend on it being rock-solid. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller With @nprofile…9wek ssh being randomly broken for days now I came to realize that it's such a great product because it blends into the background perfectly. The problem is, of course, when it breaks. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…x0kw @nprofile…l6za I don’t like when links work both ways, though :) my notes are a directed graph. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…x0kw @nprofile…l6za Lists is a relationship concept in tiddlywiki (https://tiddlywiki.com/#Introduction%20to%20Lists). Basically, instead of a child declaring who's its parent, the parent declares the list of its children. This allows for straightforward multi-parenting linking with custom sort order wherever required (tiddlywiki allows to change the sorting on query). npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…x0kw @nprofile…l6za I find tag clouds and such too chaotic. Ideally, I'd want to have something like the list property of tiddlywiki in obsidian, but it might be non-trivial to port over. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…x0kw tags don’t answer the question "what was the next note in the series" which I tend to ask myself every once in a while. He only thing that came close to these IDs but automated was tiddlywiki's list field. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @nprofile…x0kw https://zettelkasten.de/folgezettel/ will have all of them but tl;dr is that there's an ID to each note that defines the relationship between siblings (notes related by overarching subject) and children (notes expanding directly on the subject of a given note). You can mock that with e.g. parent relationships but I always found those a bit clunky. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller omg, I figured markdown #zettelkasten. The Folgezettel numbering just goes into an attribute, and this way it doesn’t fuck up referencing. It makes my OCD happy! npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller Somehow I ended in a spot where nix store thinks I have a derivation cached while I don't. nix store repair --all says I'm totally screwed. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller Let’s talk about #stalker2 npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller This is legit the best ever explanation of "curl google.com". npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @npub1grh…dggd there's real life and there's my server which I want to reach without tunelling, NATs, or VPNs or paying E27/mo for a handful of IPv4s. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller Envoy gateway doesn't support ipv6. Right, who even cares about that obscure protocol in 2024 anyway? ipv4 is a solved problem. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @npub1dsl…succ this is nuts. I really want to report some issues but when I see a non-github hosting with some login restrictions (we'll approve your account manually. Eventually) I just give up. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @npub15xj…uzyr I just want guix with less libre :( npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @npub15xj…uzyr wait, someone forked nix, named it lix, and didn’t think that'd be confused with debian based lix linux?.. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @npub1q0k…trsm why not k3s on nixos tho. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller It's a funny observation but ffs #nix (as a language, no the #nixos) feels so clunky, error prone, and annoying after the elegancy of #clojure. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller Wait, is #guix basically a #nixos but with lisp?.. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller killed the process and it came up at 69Mb RSS, similar VSZ. It seems like they do some insanely aggressive caching or something? Bleh, I can just limit it and let it OOM once in a while, but that is just so reminiscent of modern software development. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller conduit's RAM use is up to 712Mb RSS, 2.4Gb VSZ. That's 3 rooms in nixos.org and 2 more on matrix.org federated after another day. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller Can someone knowledgeable in #matrix explain to me how **some** clients can move a room into a space while others have no concept of that at all? npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller Looking at my server's memory usage it's a bit insane that the top processes are basically the infrastructure that makes everything work (k8s and its CNI). And then the federated stuff. Wordpress is so low its usage is comparable to a DNS server, lol. npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @npub10sm…hjqm I'm using what the docs told me to! But also, yay, unstable to the bleeding edge! npub1wc5saxwyesuu3qpak2qq5asup0dgwhnsy3dfp9t66j8g32d6dl5sn2qzxm farcaller @npub10sm…hjqm @npub1j6m…fsez I actually got it working with trial, error, and random copy-pasting! Thanks.
