L4[01:09:06] <Amanda> Night girls, don't forget to tie your Ethernet cables to the back of your car and tin cans

L5[01:09:34] <Izzy> Does anyone have a preferred way to output from a Lua script to syslog or the systemd journal?

L6[01:10:15] <Amanda> Izzy: systemd services have their stdout/err on the journal

L7[01:10:50] <Amanda> Anyways, night night

L8[01:11:01] <Izzy> I want to log from a CGI script

L9[01:22:10] <Hawk777> If all else fails, if you have a socket API, you can use that. The protocol isn’t particularly complicated, though don’t try to figure it out from whatever the most recent RFC describing “the syslog protocol” is because that’s not the version that journald implements.

L10[01:25:25] <Hawk777> Each packet is “<P>DATE NAME[PID]: MESSAGE”, where “P” is the facility number left three bits plus the priority, “DATE” is the date in “%b %e %H:%M:%S” format, “NAME” is the program name, “PID” is the process ID, and “MESSAGE” is the message text. Shove that in a single datagram to the relevant UNIX-domain socket.

L11[01:25:31] <Hawk777> The angle brackets are literal.

L12[01:28:07] <CompanionCube> is /dev/log a thing?

L13[01:28:13] <Hawk777> Some senders include a NUL at the end, but journald doesn’t need it, and if you do, it’ll consider it “parseable but with extra misunderstood data” and therefore keep two copies of the message in the record, the decoded bits plus a SYSLOG_RAW, which it won’t do if you don’t include the NUL.

L14[01:28:15] <CompanionCube> %tonkout

L15[01:28:16] <MichiBot> Awesome! Compan​ionCube! You beat Va​ur's previous record of 1 hour, 33 minutes and 3 seconds (By 1 hour, 23 minutes and 52 seconds)! I hope you're happy!

L35[06:55:54] <Ocawes​ome101> i have successfully implemented inter-process rpc that doesn't totally suck

L36[06:56:20] <Ocawes​ome101> i have no real demo of this because it looks exactly like the last video i sent, the code underneath is just much cleaner

L37[07:03:44] <Izzy> was the last video the GUI one?

L38[07:04:55] <Ocawes​ome101> yes

L39[07:04:59] <Izzy> cool :3

L40[07:05:18] <Izzy> one of these days I will be sufficiently unhinged to turn the PsychOS vty layer into a windowing system

L41[07:05:20] <Ocawes​ome101> the window server is a separate process, other processes use rpc to create and manage windows

L42[07:05:27] <Ocawes​ome101> that would be neat

L43[07:05:38] <Izzy> it should only require implementing the compositor

L44[07:05:41] <Ocawes​ome101> i had some infrastructure for that in either Monolith or ULOS 1, don't recall which

L45[07:14:39] <Ocawes​ome101> aha it was ulos 1

L46[07:16:43] <Izzy> do you have code I can steal for figuring out which parts of a window are visible? :3

L96[18:43:25] <lunar_sam> lol

L97[18:43:46] <Redston​eParkour> ah

L98[18:43:50] <Redston​eParkour> what method?

L99[18:48:48] <lunar_sam> honestly it's just something i'm cooking up myself

L100[18:49:41] <lunar_sam> but i'm realizing i just made discount bzip2 :p

L101[18:52:26] <Redston​eParkour> ok

L102[18:53:47] <CompanionCube> i wonder if that's like making filesystems that end up being discount FAT

L103[18:54:15] <lunar_sam> true

L104[19:03:15] <lunar_sam> currently, the steps it takes are: 1. (sometimes) escape the block if it contains an instance of every value from 0-255, since i need a unique value for the next step. 2. burrows-wheeler transform. 3. move to front transform. 4. huffman coding

L105[19:05:15] <lunar_sam> ~though it's still not much better than LZSS if at all~

L106[19:05:37] <lunar_sam> also a first pass with LZSS sometimes results in better compression, sometimes doesn't

L107[19:05:55] <Kristo​pher38> Wait till you hear about ANS that stuff's wild

L108[19:06:15] <lunar_sam> my brain switched off with ANS :(

L109[19:06:51] <lunar_sam> honestly it was more of an experiment than anything, and for now i'm gonna play some HD2

L110[19:28:07] <lunar_sam> well nvm, all my friends got off when i got on lol
