#rockbox log for 2021-06-10

00:15:42		Quit mendel_munkis (Remote host closed the connection)
00:16:01		Join mendel_munkis [0] (~mendel_mu@ool-ae2cb218.dyn.optonline.net)
00:16:05	braewoods	ok, some minor changes pushed to gerrit for sendfirm / beastpatcher
00:16:34	braewoods	i'm pondering removing vs2005 support for beastpatcher since i don't think we're going to need that if beastpatcher remains a standalone program
00:16:47	braewoods	we can just upload a prebuilt copy to the http site
00:17:00	braewoods	but hm
00:17:09	braewoods	i'll need to investigate that
00:30:20		Quit pablocastellanos (Ping timeout: 268 seconds)
00:34:21	braewoods	bluebrother: i'm working on gigabeat S patchwork but first i'm inspecting the bootloader.
00:34:44	braewoods	i noticed the bootloader has an allowance for extracting a TAR file?
00:34:56	*	braewoods boggles.
00:35:04	braewoods	i can only see one reason why this exists.
00:35:37	braewoods	to allow you to upload a tar archive over MTP for the rockbox payload to find and extract
00:36:05		Join pablocastellanos [0] (~pidgin@user/pablocastellanos)
00:36:25	braewoods	but for first boot, there's only two options... wait for rockbox bootloader to launch so you can use normal USB access
00:36:39	braewoods	or try to install the archive prior to this
00:36:43	braewoods	i wonder if that'd actually work
00:36:45	braewoods	let me find out
00:42:34		Quit pablocastellanos (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)

01:27:27	braewoods	mendel_munkis: you need to use ctype.h?
01:27:58	braewoods	you can easily implement a simple set that only works with ASCII

01:34:22	mendel_munkis	sure, I can I just don't like re-implementing libc

05:56:47	kutubyebye	I posted the file on the tasklist tracker
05:57:07	kutubyebye	Rockbox doesn''t play some of my music

07:23:31	speachy	saratoga: I'm really wondering if these recent removed forum posts are due to some vulnerability/exploit/sniffed credentials/malicious browser plugin rather than the user/poster intending to spam.

10:21:37	saratoga	speachy: most of the ones I deleted the other day had spammy email addresses that looked like the same people generated them
10:21:52	saratoga	so i think probably not real users having their posts edited, at least for the most part
10:22:14	saratoga	a lot were also posting from IPs at web hosts
10:22:15	speachy	I was referring to the ones from teh last few days, ie since I purged the older removed stuff.
10:23:41	saratoga	the Kabutoo one in there now is similar to what i was deleting before
10:24:12	saratoga	email long, random phrase with 3 numeric digits at the end at gmail
10:24:16	speachy	I mean, there's not really anyything we can do differently, just seems ... off to me.
10:24:46	speachy	yeah, I purged something like 2/3rds of the forum accounts when I first took over due to clear bogosity.
10:25:00	speachy	seeing an uptick again, alas.
10:25:46	speachy	"this is why we can't have nice things"
10:26:37	speachy	btw, I couldn't find any obvious way to partially restrict folks from editing their own posts; either they can, or they can't.
10:26:56	speachy	I suppose there may be some extension/plugin to add that. worth a look I guess.
10:28:46	saratoga	for a long time those [FirstName]L[astName][number] spammers were just copying and pasting threads between here and reddit, but these newer ones seem to actually be coming up with unique support questions
10:28:57	saratoga	which is just bizarre, that must be so much work for so little gain
10:29:25	speachy	exactly. either that or we're looking at a new level of AI-driven turing test attempts..
10:30:25	saratoga	someone training a neural network to ask battery life questions about obscure mp3 players would be awesome if true
10:54:56	speachy	I installed a "Spam links" module that allows creating post thresholds for folks putting in links to their posts, but I can't seem to figure out how to actually enable it.
11:00
11:12:38	speachy	had to uninstall it due to other brokenness. sigh.

13:00
13:09:19	braewoods	speachy: it's interesting how most of the old flash based targets we support (and lack sd cards) are effectively pointless today due to no upgradeability
13:09:39	braewoods	sa9200 for example
13:09:48	braewoods	no sd card slot, just the 4GB it came with
13:10:16	braewoods	hdd targets though still have a fair amount of utility because of the high upgrade ceiling
13:11:19	braewoods	in any case, i'll be working on MTP again after my server upgrade is finished
13:11:24	braewoods	sheesh is this taking a long time
13:11:35	braewoods	i'm just glad i can still get parts though
13:11:36	braewoods	just slower
13:14:20	braewoods	upgrading from an ancient xeon to a modern ryzen motherboard
13:14:33	braewoods	those support ECC RAM
13:14:44	braewoods	oddly enough
13:14:52	braewoods	make good home server boards
13:19:42	speachy	the only advantage to a newer system for me is marginally lower power consumption
13:20:45	speachy	I'm already awash in more compute power than I can meaningfully leverage, and unless I spent a large pile of money, I'd actually end up with _less_ oomph.

16:25:10	braewoods	speachy: i'm doubling my core count and quadrupling my RAM
16:25:13	braewoods	so that's helpful
16:25:48	braewoods	it'd been like 5 year since i last upgraded this
16:25:55	braewoods	and i was at the limits of the platform
