Ryozuki: pls make next blog post about tw UI code i never understood vsplittopleft right label magic

also what is the least intrusive way of coding custom ddnet client menus? I had to edit menus_settings.cpp to add my settings page which already got me multiple merge conflicts. Also the max of ui_settings_page is capped and would require yet another conflict edit in variables.h

u didnt look into ddnet code since long right?

10:35

i documented those functions some time ago

oh nice

10:35

in the header

10:35

yea i think i even saw that but forgot it

ye

which header

https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/blob/master/src/game/client/ui.h#L25

DDraceNetwork, a cooperative racing mod of Teeworlds - ddnet/ddnet

ui.h

10:36

ye got it ty

i think i did a p good job

ok fuck reading docs sok xd

if u dont understand then u dum

10:37

monkalaugh

you should make yt videos

10:37

with samples and voice

10:37

so hard to follow text

i would i had good english accent

10:37

or were native

10:37

if*

if i could read text i could also just read the code^^

10:37

then make video and write voice script and buy a voice on fiver

10:38

or hire me

10:38

my english sok but idc

why would i hire u for something i wouldnt even get money myself

xd

10:39

who said hiring includes money

10:39

and why u dont get money

10:39

thats a bad excuse

hiring always includes money

10:39

nobo

10:39

i guess u meant a partnership

10:39

or smth

omg language nazi

10:40

i offer myself to do the job

10:40

i do not think "getting a job done" always implies getting paid for it

10:40

whatever ofc i wouldnt take money to read a text lol

lol

10:41

its a legit job

10:41

reading a script

10:42

ChillerDragon just gotta wait till https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en

10:43

ChillerDragon, go donate ur voice

10:43

mozilla is actually doing a rly good job at machine learning voice stuff

10:43

https://wicg.github.io/speech-api/

10:44

soon u will get a website read by a natural voice

10:44

imagine a weeb voice reading articles for u

10:44

the future is promising

xd

yikes after so many days of uploading through the slow ftp conenction the hoster deleted all files cuz 220gb is too much. TIL infinite disk space ends somewhere around 200gb.

i still expect the lifetime of the company to be long enought that its the cheapest option for a server with strong cpu ram and infinite disk

12:54

that didn't age well, the lifetime of your account seemed to be a lot less, at least

feelsbadman

yea yikers i got bamboozeld

13:05

any idea where I could host my minecraft server then? Seems like I have to delete my windows partition to squeeze a few gb out of my laptop and keep running it there

get a rpi 4 with 4 or 8gb ram

i need 16gb ram and a 3.8ghz cpu min

why

13:06

u only have 7ppl in ur sv

i want more than 4 players

13:06

vanilla minecraft performs poorly

use papermc

13:07

i hosted a sv with 10 ppl in it on my vps with 4gb

13:07

and worked well

yea idk how to convert the world tho

u dont lol

13:07

just copy the world folder i guess

it resets playerpositions

idk

yea and can u slap 1tb of disk on a raspberry easily?

Element (Matrix chat app) suspended from the Google Play Store

wtf

ChillerDragon google a fcking tech corp doesnt know element is just a frontend for a network

or they do

its like banning google for having links to a website with offensive stuff

and dislike it

yeah they sure do

its just an assumption

no u

»A fool can ask more questions then 7 wise men can answer«

why?

:D

13:12

i wonder how long my laptop will life if i keep running it as a server 24/7

13:12

i never understood the difference between server and non server hardware

ChillerDragon: not sure if a rpi can handle a minecraft server

13:59

that stuff is really resource-heavy

looks like an ad im scared to click the fishy link xd

14:09

or is it deleted on discord already?

already banned and deleted on discord

yea thought so ty for info

14:10

i can fit a m2 drive in every laptop right?

14:10

might be a bit late to ask i just ordered one xd

ChillerDragon: newer laptops do tend to have m2 slots, higher end ones even empty m2 slots

14:16

But older laptops usually only have sata

14:17

Worst case you can get one of those m.2 to 2.5 inch hdd "adapters"

the laptop already has a ssd in there i think and its from 2017+ ish

14:24

yea sounds safe ty Learath

14:25

just gotta find em screwdrivers

14:25

i used to go to some pc repair shops for stuff like this but all closed :/ send halp

2017 doesnt sound like it will have m2

Man coming up with a backup expiry strategy which supports rules like keep 30 minute backups for a day, daily backups for a week etc. is really hard to get right

16:08

I tried two strategies so far and both produce either kind of irregular backups or gaps

What password managers are you guys using? I went from lastpass to keepass to firefox lockwise and finally to pass, and I never want to leave again. For firefox/chrome use browserpass. And for android sync your passwords with syncthing and use android-password-store.

i use keepassxc + syncthing

keepass is great but keepassxc is just not made for tiling wms (edited)

why is that?

I couldn't get the thing running without having the window open and i can't have that

you mean you don't want to enter the password each time, but leave the window open?

I mean I couldn't start the app in the background

@timakro what twm u use?

xmonad

greenthing

you i3?

i3 gaps yea

17:49

i use firefox to keep my passwords

Yeah so lastpass

i use i3, but im not sure in which usecase you need your keepass open in the background

ah no

17:50

I mean lockwise

could you elaborate?

@Patiga are you using the browser extension?

no o.o

17:50

browser extension that works with keepass?

17:51

sounds nice

well if i want to fill a password i need the app running

17:52

for autotype to work

17:52

just looked it up, there are browser extensions for keepass but they're not really encouraged, you are supposed to use autotype

17:52

which makes sense

17:53

@Patiga You gotta have keepassxc running in the background somehow, right?

17:54

@Ryozuki are you using firefox sync?

y

I had my own firefox sync server for a while but they never added support to the mobile lockwise app for that -.-

just add a master password

17:55

it encrypts all

17:56

im 2 lazy to do anything else

17:56

xd

I didn't like the whole firefox sync thing I'm not using it anymore, seemed fiddly sometimes the tabs didn't sync maybe it was because I was hosting it myself

probs

17:57

i dont sync often anyway

17:57

since im always on the same pc

Can't tell, but somehow the idea of logging into my browser annoyed me anyways xD

xd

Now I could switch to any browser which supports web extensions at least. Maybe chrome some day if I can live without tree style tabs

ew chrome

Not chrome but ungoogled chromium or some other chromium based more privacy/foss minded browser

18:00

Idk screensharing, mic, webcam on linux it constantly gives me trouble and on chromium it just works (tm)

it works for me

@timakro i use pass https://www.passwordstore.org/

Pass: The Standard Unix Password Manager

Pass is the standard unix password manager, a lightweight password manager that uses GPG and Git for Linux, BSD, and Mac OS X.

It's not like it wouldn't work in general but try zoom, jitsi, discord on some of them it won't work or some features like sharing a specific monitor don't work

18:01

And it even changes over time, zoom used to work and just stopped working some day

weird

ChillerDragon: yep me too now, that's what i was saying, it's awesome!

what firefox u use btw

ChillerDragon: are you using a browser plugin? if so which one?

oh i didnt read the full message sorri

pacman -S firefox

i use firefox-developer-edition

18:02

it uses a rly recent version

18:03

maybe it has fixes

no i use pass from cli plain

18:03

i also have the otp extension for 2fa logins

18:03

i have a bunch of helper scripts and never feelt the need for browser extension

copy to clipboard via cli or the dmenu thing?

cli idk what dmenu is

i think the dmenu thing is nice

chiller is a gnome normie

xd

ChillerDragon: launch passmenu

18:04

ah

ChillerDragon r u on arch rn?

i guess it won't work on gnome

18:04

well idk if dmenu works on gnome

ye

but might be not your thing, dmenu is kinda twm focused

dmenu command not found

18:05

im sure there is some gnome extension for that

18:05

but cli so good

there isnt

18:05

dmenu is a simple menu to launch apps

you can probably just install dmenu

like when u put ur mouse top left

but it will look rly out of place on gnome

i spend most of my day in terminal anways so there is more effort using the gui

18:06

so whats ur issue now @timakro?

none :D

u want autocomplete in browsers?

since i switched to pass the world is awesome

xd

how is it more awesome

how do u handle things on ur phone?

There are two browser plugins: passff and browserpass. Browserpass is the less used one but it's much better

18:07

I sync with syncthing and use android-password-store

interesting so its a different password manager using the same data?

And my phones android version is recent enough to have the password manager api so that hooks right into that

crazy

Even shuts up samsungs default password manager

thats so much better than my solution

what's yours?

none xd

18:08

i just avoid using my phone at all times

Yeah I don't use it too often

18:09

Sometimes I use it to login to my uni sso to check something if i'm not home

maybe ill use pass one day if i get a proper linux phone

The problem is you need your gpg key on your android phone and I can see why you wouldn't want that

my phone is currently mainly a clash of clans gaming console xd

But actually the android gpg thing is also pretty elegant because you use the OpenKeychain app for storing and decrypting your key and that also provides my key to k9mail

18:12

My dad pre ordered the librem 5 from puri.sm ages ago and is still waiting on it. He's the kind of guy who doesn't have whatsapp

18:13

I'm looking forward to him getting the thing and and figuring everything out. I'm sure it will be painful but tbh some people need to start with linux phones

18:14

The puri.sm guys are constantly sending patches to gnome, gtk and gtk based apps to make them responsive

Firefox on mobile is shit anyway. Apple wont let anyone use js acceleration and on android it performs like ass

18:19

Oh, scrolled up again

18:19

The stupid discord app on ipad is so bad

Hm, I'm using firefox on mobile for lack of a better idea

18:19

My phone is super new so I guess it's just fast enough to cope ^^

18:20

On my previous phone it was unusable

I just caved and used chrome, they already track me so much, they can have a couple extra data points

firefox mobile works fine for me

But my previous phone also still shipped with a native browse app (they don't do that anymore but instead google replaced it with chrome to push that)

Native browsers usually are outdated stripped down versions of chromium anyway

Ryozuki

firefox mobile works fine for me

Maybe on my next phone I’ll have the privilege of using firefox ;P

Okay my backup expiry algorithm is done, prototyped it in python and checked it with matplotlib. Spent way too much time on this.. Now I just wanna translate it to posix shell

have u seen the new blog about number parsing?

18:23

on apple m1 they can parse 1200 mb/s

18:23

over 1gb

I saw the headline

18:24

What exactly are they doing

https://lemire.me/blog/2021/01/29/number-parsing-at-a-gigabyte-per-second/

Number Parsing at a Gigabyte per Second

Computers typically rely on binary floating-point numbers. Most often they span 64 bits or 32 bits. Many programming languages call them double and float. JavaScript represents all its numbers, by default, with a 64-bit binary floating-point number type. Human beings most of often represent numbers in decimal notation, such as 0.1 or 1e-1. Thus ...

18:24

parsing numbers

18:24

aka numbers in string form

18:24

to real numbers

18:24

but fast

I love the idea of the M1 chip. Such a simple yet elegant improvement

@Learath2 can u explain ELI5 why m1 is so good?

18:24

i havent read anything about it

One day RISC will get good enough for us to have an open version of the same idea

18:25

M1 uses a little core large core architecture

rust is on par with the original c++ impl of fast-float

Image attachment

18:25

monkalaugh

So it has small cores that do small tasks keeping the experience smooth and using very little energy and large cores that handle the beastly tasks

oh i see

right, i also heard about the idea of efficient cores for non time critical tasks and fast cores for time critical tasks (edited)

18:26

idk if it is that (edited)

They also introduced a new x86_64 compatibility mode of sorts into the ISA so it’s extremely efficient to emulate x86_64

oh yeah i remember now it was that, i was reading the post from mozilla about porting firefox to M1

fck i forgot another interesting blog post that praised rust

18:28

my duty to share it failed

And the most important part of integrated architectures like this is actual distance

no matter how fast the machine, sh will always be slow as fuck

The GPU is very tightly coupled so it has things like direct memory access, the ram is wired directly so shorter traces squeezing out even more performance

timakro

no matter how fast the machine, sh will always be slow as fuck

A true law of nature

@timakro did u know a blog post i made was featured in this week in rust

@Ryozuki what is stupiden xD

a meme coin literally

18:36

@Deleted User im just making fun of u for sharing a german website

18:36

I made 600e on bitcoin and 120 in ethereum tho

nice

hm i'm just holding all my money in msci world etf

wats that

just a big huge frickin large etf

so lot's of spread no risk

ah sry @Ryozuki maybe korean is better https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EB%A7%A8%ED%8B%80_(API)

i even waited out the corona crash

I only made money on btc because I bought alot to pay for my vps then I stopped caring about that vps

@Learath2 where u bought it?

18:38

the vps

18:38

i mean

It was a seedbox on feralhosting

tsmc the most valuable semiconductor company, i think they are bound to rise

18:39

there arent other companies besides samsung iirc

18:39

able to make this stuff

Well intel has their own fabs

but no one cares about intel rn

i think i suck at investing, i suppose i would hold even if it was going straight down to 0 always hoping for it to go up agin

Qualcomm and foxconn also make their own chips iirc

only tsmc existing is why there is short of stock on amd and nvidia gpus

18:39

i think

18:39

+ covid?

18:40

Most of the leading fabless semiconductor companies such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Apple Inc., Broadcom Inc., Marvell, MediaTek, Nvidia, and Qualcomm are customers of TSMC,

@timakro well investing and day trading are very different. Holding is a valid strategy in investing if you believe there is reason for a stock to go up

invest in gold

On the other hand I have friends day trading bitcoin making 10e here and there trading on very small changes

well, the past showed that you never made a loss when you were willing to wait like 2 years or smth so that's my reason to believe

18:41

but is that a good reason? idk

i'd love to see a well designed RISC vs well designed CISC at same transistor width

i found a crypto where u code smart contracts mainly in rust

ARM should he RISC enough to compare

https://near.org/

NEAR Protocol

yeah

poggers

18:44

all these cryptos have such fancy websites

im ok with ARM, but is x86 really the best CISC? xd

18:44

tho ARM isnt really RISC anymore

I think x86 has an unfair advantage having the entire world catering to it

well ARM is probs more used nowadays isnt it?

18:45

with all these mobile platforms

Yes but never in high performance until apple decided to try it

yeah but even that thing is only mobile

18:46

i want to see their best possible desktop chip (edited)

18:46

they can produce

It’s a first attempt tho. We’ll need to wait a couple more years so ARM (and maybe even RISCV) matures a bit on high performance applications

mhhhhhh the question is, why shouldnt anybody have tried yet

18:47

is it not scalable enough?

Microsofts ARM laptop was abysmal, so the actual mobile chips out there are shit ;P

can it be scalable enough

Deleted User

is it not scalable enough?

Well not many people out there willing to try different things? It takes a metric fuckton of investment to look into this stuff

i agree, but now that apple made the transition, apple has no excuse not todo it for desktop

18:48

why should they wait, except they have problems with scaling

Only a handful of companies even produce chips and a lot of them are heavily invested in either x86 or are constrained within the mobile world with arm

Deleted User

i agree, but now that apple made the transition, apple has no excuse not todo it for desktop

They did release an M1 desktop (not very great) and I think they are looking into a second gen in a year or two

18:49

I guess this is as fast as innovation can go in an industry that has extraordinary barriers to entry

probably

18:50

too bad

I wonder how many people even have the skills to do microarchitecture design in total

i'd be totally ok with only having like 50% x86 performance if the native performance is atleast 25% over the "best" x86 chip

18:50

especially single thread is not really getting better, too bad

18:51

tho my understanding is that CISC always has the potential to outperform RISC, so i wonder if there is no effort into trying to make a better CISC than x86

I wonder how important single thread performance will be in the future. Multi threading really seems to be key to extracting all the performance we can get out of the silicon per cm

@Learath2 but games rly rely on single thread perf

18:52

i wonder if there is a way around iot

Ryozuki

@Learath2 but games rly rely on single thread perf

But even that has been improving with consumer cpus getting more and more cores

there is alot that requires single thraed perf(or other non scalable stuff), else everyone would use some 128cores ARM processor probs

xd

I think intel limiting consumer cpus to 4 physical cores really hindered research and development in that area

amd is going full blown at threads

18:53

threadripper

that is true, but u have to note that they had 8 threads, and 1 x86 core is not really 1 arm core, its more like 1.5x ARM core

64 cores 128 threads at 2.9ghz

bcs of hyperthreading etc

not bad

Deleted User

there is alot that requires single thraed perf(or other non scalable stuff), else everyone would use some 128cores ARM processor probs

Ofc, I meant more as in “past a certain point”

18:54

I don’t think we’ll need a single thread performing much better then what we have right now on x86 anytime soon. Atleast not for consumer usage

tho, it seems apples M1 single thread perf outperforms x86 counterparts at same enegery level, so i wonder how well desktop chips would be(if they scale at such energy levels)

Only apple knows at this point. I bet they had a couple experiments already

18:56

If it wasn’t promising, I don’t think they’d invest in it this heavily

yeah, but its kinda risky, since intels 10nm is probs still a bit worse than TSMC 5nm or whatever they call it so i assume intel will get another 20-30% perf increase soon if apple could already scaled, they should have done it quickly

18:57

(from a companys perspective atleast)

An idea I’ve had with massively vectorized cpus would be ai agents e.g.

18:57

It was used in later PS3 games with it’s cell architecture being perfect for this

i kinda finished https://github.com/edg-l/teestatus

its a bit dirty but it does its job

18:58

only 0.6 protocol tho

18:58

i cant find docs on 0.7

Yeah not very documented the 0.7 protocol

18:59

Can it do both ddnet extended 0.6 and vanilla 0.6?

ye

For 0.7 you need to do the handshake to get a token

19:00

Then you use the token in a standard serverinfo request iirc

:o

19:00

maybe someday

19:00

lazyness kicked in

19:00

and 0.7 is not exciting anyway

19:00

xd

The best starting point is heinrich’s PR adding the token protocol

i dont even dare to talk in ##c out of fear

Sometimes some fools come in asking a question and then showing us some online tutorial as proof that our answer is wrong

xddd

That’s when you pull out the standard

It’s much friendlier now that Zhivago is gone

I find it very disappointing that people are defending things like they are religion nowadays

19:09

Technical things shouldn’t have fanboys

why u say nowadays

19:09

it always has been that way

19:09

for lot of things

19:09

even outside tech

It has been very calm for a decade in the tech sphere atleast

19:09

I had no one trying to sell me Hack or ruby on rails

well probs cuz c++ never had a competitor

19:09

it was always the c++ is shit side vs the c++ is the only good language side

19:10

well idk

For a brief moment Java zealots took off after the release of minecraft with fresh 10 year olds learning java to mod minecraft

well

19:10

i also learned java thanks to minecraft

discovering new emojis

I too embarked on the java journey, but I had been informed I should probably bring along a puke bag just in case

19:12

Though I must say modern java while performing awfully and having a cancerous focus on OOP actually is quite pleasant to work with

19:12

With it’s new functional style interfaces and all

i always have to search how to go from Date to sql.Date and then viewing Date has been deprecated and lot of stuff

Yeah, java is sadly full of that stuff

19:14

Kotlin looks a little better in most regards and still runs on the JVM if you want to check out something javalike

i tried kotlin 5 mins and got bored

19:14

maybe i dont have the will to learn another lang when i can use java

19:14

xd

Kotlin is like Scala but better ;P

19:15

Honestly, if you have a language to cover all your needs, learning another one is generally just for lulz

19:16

Rust seems to cover a lot of ground, so it’s normal you don’t care for much more

there seems to be no channel binding defined for tls 1.3, and thus neither for quic

20:45

channel binding AFAIK means that you have a random number that is guaranteed to identify the connection

20:46

you can use that to securely send password hashes, (roughly) by seeding the hash by the random number from the connection, so that it can never be reused

20:46

such a scheme can even defend against MITM of rcon passwords, even without TLS certificates

[ddnet/ddnet] Issue opened: #3563 Map changing menu (Call vote)

When choosing a map, the user can type the map name, the difficulty (stars), completed times and even the average time (I'm guessing is that). The problem is that the # of completed times/average time doesn't link up with the map, when choosing from that. Maybe even a filter/orderby system for map search would be great. Some difficulty (stars) doesn't match up with the map difficulty and (at least for me) it is more accurate to choose by # of completed times, when finding a new map to pl...
