[09:54:18] <dyingtolive> anyone still around?
[09:57:36] <dyingtolive> okay, well, i was going through my humble bundle purchases over the years, and i think i have an unredeemed civ 5 code. i think it's windows only, but it's up for grabs for the first person who dumps it into steam, assuming it's still valid.

[12:07:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> ?! wtf is wrong with your brain?
[12:08:09] <clorox|2> I drink myself
[12:08:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> weird al is da shit

[12:10:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> guess i didn't write that function yet

[12:11:12] * MrPlow smakes TheMightyBuzzard upside the head with great pleasure
[12:11:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> snarky damned bot
[12:11:25] <clorox|2> I saw arch has a whole nosystemd repo with all the relevant aur packages built
[12:11:53] <clorox|2> how's cacklate linux?
[12:11:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, i don't trust em to keep current with shit like i trust the gentoo guys though
[12:12:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> man it's fscking nice except the douchebag who keeps doing non-critical version upgrades to the 4.9 kernel
[12:13:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> which isn't really a calculate thing
[12:13:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> but rebuilding your kernel once a week is starting to piss me off
[12:13:52] <clorox|2> I wonder if it'll run better on this lap. Can't get the rage-128 driver to work with X
[12:14:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> rage-128? holy fuck man. get an etch-a-sketch. it has more processing power.
[12:14:37] <clorox|2> it used to work
[12:14:48] <clorox|2> ran e17 on it
[12:15:04] <clorox|2> just quit a couple moons ago
[12:15:34] <clorox|2> hm, actually, none of the X drivers work. fpos
[12:15:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm... you may need to build the xorg driver yourself.
[12:15:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> does it by chance not have the rage-128 driver at all?
[12:16:44] <clorox|2> built it from the aur
[12:17:19] <clorox|2> it complains if I don't also have the xf86-vide-ati driver too which is weird
[12:17:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> thas one nice bit of calculate/gentoo. get a busted version and odds are good there are *at least* two other earlier versions still on the overlay
[12:19:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> takes: emerge =packagename-version to revert
[12:19:14] <clorox|2> Neat. I tried gentoo a few years ago. worked great in vm. then I couldn't get nvidia working on hardware
[12:19:33] <clorox|2> I probably learned enough since then to know what I'm doing now though
[12:20:13] <clorox|2> or I could be a rube and use windows for games
[12:20:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> gentoo's a pretty major pain in the ass to set up initially. calculate takes like 15-30m.
[12:20:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> plus binary overlay for packages you utterly fail to give a shit about optimizing
[12:21:08] <clorox|2> like most things
[12:21:22] <clorox|2> since most stuff is just idling anyhow
[12:21:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> zactly. i got like six packages tuned to within an inch of their life and the rest can binary it
[12:21:46] * clorox|2 optimizes crond with -o12
[12:22:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> firefox, kernel, mesa, ffmpeg, mplayer, and i forget what else
[12:22:36] <clorox|2> Just kidding. I have systemd. I finally tried to use it in a cron-like situation. Takes two units
[12:22:45] * TheMightyBuzzard cackles
[12:22:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> my sympathies
[12:23:00] <clorox|2> One to tell it what to do and a timer to fire it
[12:23:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> really! i do so feel your pain.
[12:23:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, it's probably less fucked up than cron configs but still
[12:23:58] <clorox|2> if I had things to schedule I'd be sure to install a real crond
[12:24:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> just make one to run a script that runs all scripts in /etc/cron/cron.hourly/daily/weekly/etc
[12:24:53] <clorox|2> I never tried anything fancy with cron but a symlink to the right dir was all I needed
[12:25:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> there's not much fancy you can do with cron really. it's just a "do this regularly" kinda thing.
[12:26:10] <clorox|2> I think we should redo systemd but start it from a different angle
[12:26:19] <clorox|2> Expand cron out to be a system manager
[12:26:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> why the hell /. wrote their own cron daemon and called it slashd, i have no fucking clue.
[12:26:47] <clorox|2> Is it a lot of work to migrate it over?
[12:26:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, probably
[12:27:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's pointless to except from a maintainability standpoint is the main thing
[12:27:29] <clorox|2> Get to work, mister!
[12:27:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> and we got plenty of things what's actually broke what take priority
[12:28:12] <clorox|2> it'd be great if you could just have rehash be a package that uses all the distro's stock stuff though
[12:28:27] * clorox|2 cracks the whip
[12:28:51] <clorox|2> emerge rehash
[12:29:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, that wouldn't work out well cause of all the changes between apache 2.2 and 2.4 and not being able to tell which the distro was gonna be using
[12:29:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> that and i don't think we can run under 2.4 at all for perl reasons
[12:30:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> ha! i COULD make a gentoo package. gentoo has both in portage.
[12:32:11] * TheMightyBuzzard ponders doing exactly that
