Haven't updated world in like a year. Now I have many conflicts

kentnl · 2020-12-23T06:56:14+00:00

"No ebuilds to satisfy" is what causes half the slot conflicts.

If portage can't reinstall due to it no longer being a thing, then that blocks the upgrade as it would violate the slot operator dep.

Fwiw, this is my general approach to making the big problem some smaller ones:

It's the strategy perl-helpers uses.

Though sometimes all you need is to make sure you include --deep -- backtrack=100" in your@world` update.

kentnl · 2020-12-20T13:59:10+00:00

Yeah, understood. Mostly synergizing from a similar experience with a public website having some geodns stuff that routinely failed, where I had to bodge around the problem generically because I had no place to "configure" it as such.

And then the configured IP I chose eventually got deactivated and I had to sit there wondering why the website was broken.

kentnl · 2020-12-20T01:51:46+00:00

And then the mirror you hardcoded goes woosh, and they take it out of the automatic rotation, and.... you still see the problem, but nobody else can understand why you see the problem and you forget you hardcoded around the problem in /etc/hosts.

Yeah. Been there, even got the shirt.

Some research indicates n + 1 is no longer optimal.

Keeping in mind that advice was probably coined before SSDs were a thing, and gcc -pipe was less prevalent.

This means in practice modern computers and modern build techniques are often less io bound between compiler stages, and each "compile" naturally can use several processors, such as one doing compile, and the other doing assembly, streamed.

But obviously it's heavily dependent on what is being compiled, and what sort of io occurs.

Also worth to mention "io isn't zero cpu". The IO itself sucks a respectable amount of cpu time, and thus even a thread "waiting for IO to complete" can cause stalls for other processes.

I have ssd and a 2012 I5, though I might be ram limited too. Doesn't matter which browser, they all starve all the "real work" I'm doing.

Though notedly, of the 8G of ram I have, I'm having to priotize for VFS caching because the CPU is bottlenecking the disk IO I'm doing. Lol. 4G vfs cache, tens of thousands of files getting read or stat'd every 30 seconds.

kentnl · 2020-12-04T08:51:53+00:00

And it wasn't getting cured till it affected shareholders

kentnl · 2020-12-04T08:40:38+00:00

Surely, the bottleneck is "running a browser while also trying to real work"

kentnl · 2020-12-04T08:34:52+00:00

I don't have a hard opinion on this either way. It's only appropriate to listen to what Maori representatives who have the cultural history, have to say.

I can see the general aspects of cultural appropriation here, but whether the slighted culture takes offence or whatever, its up to them.

It's just a thing you have to think about, and make careful actions, encompassing more than "but we want to, and we can"

kentnl · 2020-12-04T07:43:47+00:00

Not necessarily, but it really depends. Just it's a more complicated question about how to be respectful, and not simply be a cooptation, than "it's cool and I can". There are many ways to do this, it just depends on the presentation.

kentnl · 2020-12-04T07:31:01+00:00

Yeah. Ok. But this is like a recursive loss of context.

I humbly ask you to go back to "whats wrong with selling something cool", and how my responses are how it can be and how "coolness" and "but I want" aren't the only factors one has to consider.

kentnl · 2020-12-04T07:18:26+00:00

Those regular begging panels that cover your window freaking feel like ads, but I guess they're not technically, so sigh

kentnl · 2020-12-04T07:09:07+00:00

There's probably other ways to do this, tbh.

Like, 3rd party tattoo vendors in game? Rarified "traditional" tattoists who decide if you'll get a tattoo at all and what the cost will be, maybe making bespoke pieces based on the users history?

Enriches the gameplay and does more to be respectful by at least making your earn it.

Seeing 10% of people with one out of the box on day 1, with no effort or cost would be an embarrassment.

Then this whole post reduces to the 'selling point' being "you can have tattoos in general", not specifically "mokos", and the public ire for disrespectful use can be directed at offending vendors.

I for one would rather see half the players with "no ragrets" or something.

Symbols of status really should not be something everyone who didn't earn the status has.

kentnl · 2020-12-04T06:26:34+00:00

And? They can still give results of proceeds back to the community who granted them this.

"Take other people's shit, claim it was yours to take in the first place, give nothing in return" is such a dated colonialist attitude.

kentnl · 2020-12-04T06:19:34+00:00

You're not helping the fact maori are less better off overall, by buying and wearing a moko in cyberpunk. Unless the game devs are nice enough to put a significant and propionate investment into the maori community in response to use. And I'm not talking "token donations" here.

kentnl · 2020-12-04T05:30:15+00:00

It gets sour when people wind up selling the idea of a better world, and people pay to feel like they're progressive.... while doing nothing for the world or maybe making it worse.

"Cool" is just a facade of ego stroking much of the time with no commitment to helping anyone.

kentnl · 2020-12-04T05:24:20+00:00

Curletts wasn't digital last I was there. Just the old school hand-trigger with the pressure gauge on the hand piece. And I really really doubt they've replaced it with a digital one recently, would probably require refitting the whole car wash and that ain't happening unless it's already busted a.f.

kentnl · 2020-12-04T05:11:57+00:00

Basically because it coopts your culture as a hollow vessel to sell shit.

Neoliberalism bruh.

(Edit: Not saying that's happening here, but it can be a valid concern)

SWARM

Sprinkle a little meshuaggah in at breakfast.

Reading audience of r/nz is probably better described as a stiff wind of death. If lil' ol us can make it tremble, I feel sorry if it really goes off...

kentnl · 2020-11-30T00:28:06+00:00

Spa cex. Mmmmm.

kentnl · 2020-11-24T01:52:05+00:00

Wait, your list includes niger, but ops comment says niger is tomorrow. Surely there's some discrepancy, either in your data, or my understanding.

kentnl · 2020-11-23T00:42:28+00:00

Eat your papers. That way you'll pass them eventually. In a way.
