<gorgonical>
there are not very many computer people learning e.g. dutch in their free time
<klysm>
well the reason I am learning it is because there is a vowel after every consonant and that sounds really pretty in my hearing

retrieval is an interesting word because it contains "ヴ" or "v" which isn't a commonly used letter

I blame the 80s and 90s: NEC, Sony, Nintendo... today's computer nerds grew up on Japanese hardware.

The VM is dead jim
<geist>
ah that makes sense. it got into a weird state just while i was watchign it on tcpdump
<geist>
where it was acking packets i was sendig it but nothign else
<geist>
whcih in retrospect makes sense, because there's a MITM there with the qemu user net stack
<geist>
it was probably just buffering it up
<sortie>
Qemu will listen(2) and accept(2) incoming connections and waiting on the VM to respond
<geist>
right, or even ongoing established connections it probably keeps soem amount of buffer
<sortie>
Did you do anything out of the ordinary that might've destabilized it?
<sortie>
The systemd service is set up to restart it but it doesn't have a watchdog that verifies the VM actually works
<geist>
i dont think so. it did hold a connection to irc for a few hours
<geist>
but haven't really toched it in the last bit
<geist>
the alst thing i saw you do is you bounced your connection
<geist>
it was just PING/PONGING for a whiel
<sortie>
Yeah had to log in again, don't think it was that
<geist>
yah but it seemed to stop responding shortly after
<sortie>
Interesting though
<sortie>
This is the fun part of hosting infrastructure natively
<sortie>
Ah I should've checked if the kernel responds to ping before I restarted it because both 22 and 6667 was unresponsive
<sortie>
But if ssh went down, should definitely be a kernel panic
<sortie>
It's stuff like this that worries me about making sortix.sortix.org the official version, like my OS might go down
<sortie>
So need to build the watchdog infrastructure to check if it's up and restart otherwise
<sortie>
Trouble is that these VMs are stateless. They have fresh live cd images rolled on startup every time.
<sortie>
I need to get to a level of stability and feature completeness so I want to run a persistent harddisk installation.. and have them come back with minimal filesystem damage in practice fixed by fsck -p after an untimely reboot
<sortie>
I don't trust fsck -p to fix untimely reboots in practice, so will need fsck -y for that and pray it works.
<sortie>
Additionally the restarting process should also make sure the VM is upgraded to the latest nightly build
<sortie>
So a bunch of fun infrastructure work to get a persistent cloud VM stable

"8 gigabyte hard drive fully dedicated to testing"

-n1 means "run the command once for every input" instead of the default behavior where xargs supplies the command with as many inputs as possible before exceeding the maximum command line length

<Bitweasil>
I'm good, no interest in dealing with a strip club.
<heat>
not a strip club, a strip farm
<heat>
totally different
<doug16k>
is there really no way to printf format a char16_t* or char32_t* ?
<Bitweasil>
Have you seen the various "Farm Series" shows out of the UK with older farms?
<heat>
Bitweasil, no
<doug16k>
I thought there would at least be a gnu extension
<Bitweasil>
doug16k, unicode stuff? Should be able to just %c%c%c%c them with the fragments, but... you'd have to break it up by byte.
<heat>
doug16k, I would guess no because the C library is horrible
<bslsk05>
en.wikipedia.org: BBC historic farm series - Wikipedia
<Bitweasil>
Try that.
<kazinsal>
doug16k: convert from char32_t to wchar_t then send it through wprintf I guess
<heat>
have you noticed that inside stdio there are way different styles for different stuff
<kazinsal>
libc was grown, not designed
<heat>
fwrite has the FILE * as the last argument, fseek has it as its first argument
<heat>
rewind is named rewind because they forgot the f
<heat>
kazinsal, doesn't mean you can't keep consistency
<moon-child>
doug16k: there's %ls for wchar_t*
<heat>
i can't think of any function in POSIX that takes the fd first, and that was also grown
<doug16k>
I could type pun char16_t* to wchar_t* in EFI or char32_t* to wchar_t* elsewhere in the printf arguments
<doug16k>
yeah, %S also works for back compat
<doug16k>
but wchar_t could be 16 or 32 bit. in efi it is 16
<doug16k>
and everything is wchar_t
<doug16k>
it's windows, right?
<moon-child>
yeah. But you don't wanna do a ton in efi. Windows same thing
<heat>
wchar is useless
<heat>
change my mind
<moon-child>
so if you can just guarantee you're living in a 4=sizeof wchar abi, no problem
<heat>
the only times you want to use wide chars are when you really need to know the wideness of wchar
<doug16k>
my bootloader code has to work in both 16 and 32 bit wchar_t
<doug16k>
heat, yeah
<heat>
or, it's windows
<heat>
you don't need to care about the wideness of the arguments to CreateProcessW for example
<heat>
(but that's just a bad design)
<doug16k>
and it's weirder than that. in 32 bit bios boot it uses utf8 everything, and in efi it uses utf16 everything
<doug16k>
I do mean utf8. I fully OCD'd the conversions
<moon-child>
heat: on windows midipix provides utf8 versions of win32, and does the conversion for you
<doug16k>
and utf16 handles surrogate pairs
<heat>
moon-child, I remember reading somewhere that windows is slowly embracing utf8 more and more
<doug16k>
you have to handle utf16 regardless because of iso9660/joliet and fat32
<heat>
yeah
<doug16k>
ATA has some too IIRC
<heat>
it's a shame that EFI took that route
<heat>
now everyone's stuck with horrible garbage strings
<doug16k>
yeah, dragged utf16 way further into the future
<doug16k>
it is better for some languages though
<doug16k>
that's what I do to console myself when I get annoyed with it :D
<doug16k>
tell myself that :D
<doug16k>
I was told that some languages have stuff that is 2 bytes in utf16 but 3 in utf8
<heat>
" If the ANSI code page is configured for UTF-8, -A APIs operate in UTF-8. This model has the benefit of supporting existing code built with -A APIs without any code changes."
<doug16k>
I didn't find an example for myself though
<bslsk05>
docs.microsoft.com: Use the Windows UTF-8 code page - UWP applications | Microsoft Docs
<heat>
there it is
<kazinsal>
I should write a UTF16ToSomethingUsable() function that increments a "why_the_fuck" counter every time it's called
<heat>
the win32 api supports native utf8 now
<Arthuria>
That's because the entire world doesn't write in simple ASCII English. I've seen EFI shells and UEFI BIOS with Chinese/Japanese chars, hence why you need UTF16/32 support.
<klange>
qemu may have literally fixed the pckbd race yesterday
<klange>
just before I filed the ticket
<doug16k>
yeah, every codepoint from 0x800 to 0xFFFF is longer in utf8 than utf16
<heat>
sorry but localising everything is a mistake
<doug16k>
0xDC00-DFFF range doesn't really count - reserved for surrogate pairs
<heat>
anything that's not exactly user facing(read: technical) shouldn't be translated
<doug16k>
er, 0xD800-0xDFFF
<heat>

Variable names in Chinese, and the IDE find is completely broken lmao. Because the find only handles ASCII.
<Arthuria>
Liability is on them to fix, if an issue comes up. And some PM or related who has better English, has to explain what they need to do, how they verify a fix and what not. There English is not level 0, they often know the basics

<kazinsal>
yeah for the most part everything is 1500 now
<doug16k>
you mean even on pppoe?
<kazinsal>
I mean once you're past the customer premises
<doug16k>
ah. if you say so about network thing, I believe it :P
<kazinsal>
big optical trunks use SDH, which either uses 810 octet frames or 2430 octet frames
<kazinsal>
and you can think of the 810 octet frames as sort of like a DS0 compared to the 2430 octet frames being a DS1
<kazinsal>
SDH frames are a bit bizarre in that they're not really arranged linearly like ethernet frames
<kazinsal>
they're arranged in columns and rows, with frame and link structure overhead and error correction information in the first nine columns and then the rest dedicated to payload
<doug16k>
it creates the same problem if you just set 1492 in your router, right? it'll force it to fragment, and is just as good repro as lower MTU all the way at remote server?
<kazinsal>
yeah if you have your MTU set to 1492 you're going to see fragmentation or an adjusted MSS
ozxui has quit [Quit: Lost terminal]
<kazinsal>
MSS adjustments are the key to dealing with non-1500 byte MTUs
<kazinsal>
a lot of stuff doesn't really "renegotiate" path MTUs well so if 1500 byte MTUs weren't acceptable we'd see a lot more core networking failures
<kazinsal>
it's really just with eg. PPPoE and VPNs where you start to get funky things happening
<doug16k>
ikr? 3/4 of the work of networking specifications is figuring out how to describe it so people won't make ridiculous implementations
<kazinsal>
it's technically incorrect to assume that you can send a DF-bit 1500 byte IP packet from point A to point B but in the overwhelming majority of cases it works
<doug16k>
maybe I should get a shirt made: "I am so old my MTU was 576"
<springb0k>
Some of us had an MTU of 64. And we liked it.
<doug16k>
not that old
<kazinsal>
Fun fact: the 576 byte MTU is equivalent to two T1 frames
<kazinsal>
s/frames/superframes/
<kazinsal>
(T1 framing is a fucking nightmare; what you would expect to be frames are actually called superframes, and "frames" are a single octet from each channel plus a framing bit)
<springb0k>
That's TDM for you.
<kazinsal>
And that doesn't go into the implications of bit robbing.
<kazinsal>
So a T1 is 24 DS0s which means that a T1 frame is 24 bytes + a framing bit.
<kazinsal>
A superframe is 288 bytes + 12 framing bits.
<kazinsal>
An extended superframe is two superframes if all channels are used for data.
<springb0k>
Unless your T-1 is a PRI.
<kazinsal>
Rate of frames never changes -- it's always eight kilohertz -- but your bandwidth changes based on whether or not you have robbed-bit signalling enabled.
<kazinsal>
Every sixth frame in a superframe or ESF has its eighth bit repalced with signalling information if RBS is on.
<kazinsal>
This is fine for digital voice because it basically means you have five 8-bit frames and then one 7-bit frame, which at 8 KHz is absolutely negligible data loss.
<kazinsal>
Buuuuut for digital *data* it doesn't work.
<kazinsal>
As far as *why* you would do this, it let AT&T multiply their existing trunk capacity by 12 without running new trunk lines.
<kazinsal>
The same number of wires needed for two analog phone lines can run a T1.
<kazinsal>
And the T1 will carry clearer voice than the analog lines will.

ah, there we go
<clever>
ah, the ethernet header is 14 bytes extra
<heat>
clever, ethernet's mtu is 1514 bytes
<kazinsal>
clever: plus four bytes of CRC at the end
<kazinsal>
but those get stripped out by the NIC usually
<heat>
(including the header)
<clever>
yeah, so the limit is 14 bytes of ethernet header, 1500 bytes of ethernet payload (ip+more), and 4 bytes of ethernet crc
<kazinsal>
so a full standard length ethernet frame is 1518 bytes
<kazinsal>
a full tagged ethernet frame is 1522 bytes
<clever>
oh right, my internet comes in over a tagged vlan
<kazinsal>
and a full double-tagged frame is 1526

<doug16k>
klange, i386 is best
<klange>
alright >_>
<doug16k>
I can make it partially work but you have to use 64 bit initial executable, and you still can't see locals, only break/step
<kazinsal>
clever: chances are the dot1q tag isn't even reaching the interface tcpdump is running on
<kazinsal>
something is stripping it out before it reaches you
<klange>
I suspect both of these are issues are from my shoddy ATAPI drivers.
<clever>
kazinsal: i ran it on the main interface, but i had had issues with linux stripping them before
<clever>
it needs a special flag to capture them
<klange>
The EFI loader always gets to the kernel, but it's blocked on a port read - would like that stack trace to see where it is :)
<kazinsal>
yeah at least on e1000-type NICs you turn on a VLAN Enable flag and now the NIC doesn't strip out the dot1q stuff (and usually also helpfully copies it to the RX descriptor)
<clever>
kazinsal: pretty sure the tag is reaching linux, because i have 3 vlans on that side, but it gets stripped before reaching tcpdump

catern: compare your packet to one sent by another linux machine, and make it match as closely as possible?
<klange>
I'm sorta purplexed on the bootloader ATAPI driver, that should be brute-force polling and it shouldn't have any opportunities for issues, maybe qemu broke something with legacy ATAPI.
<catern>
clever: I'd prefer something more like "run this command to make Linux print verbose logs on what it does with each packet" :)
<heat>
catern, did you try wireshark?
<klange>
Loader is kinda ugh, but at least with the EFI builds it uses OVMF and you can turn off the ATA/ATAPI drivers entirely from the menu.
<doug16k>
catern, are you trying to send packets to the qemu host? good luck with that
<catern>
doug16k: I'm sending them to a TUN/TAP device actually
<catern>
(I'm not actually running in qemu so I can't actually answer that question with "yes", but basically)
<kazinsal>
aight, bowl smoked, what's next on the agenda
<doug16k>
from what then
<klange>
I wonder if this is just lazy detect code with no timeout failing to get a response from the secondary slave or something...
<klange>
Thankfully with a calibrated TSC as the main timing source misaka has way better opportunities to implement timeouts.
<catern>
doug16k: a regular Linux process with a userspace network stack
<catern>
(i mean, it can't talk to anything, because I can't get Linux to respond to the packets I send over the TUN/TAP, so is it really a network stack...)
<doug16k>
kazinsal, cancel WoW account
<geist>
catern: is the tun/tap bridged with the linux host?
<kazinsal>
doug16k: but TBC classic launches on saturday
<geist>
if it isn't you're just talking to the void
<klange>
kazinsal: Write a Python clone, then obsess over it for three months.
tricklynch has left #osdev [Leaving]
<kazinsal>
ah, I see we're doing linux networking. might duck back out and smoke another bowl
<heat>
how about WoW64?
<doug16k>
heat, that too
<catern>
geist: I have a listening socket on the TUN device, but Linux doesn't seem to be delivering my SYNs
<kazinsal>
klange: but if I do that I'll need to stop using kuroko!
<heat>
write a kuroko clone
<geist>
hmm, if you tcpdump or wireshark the tun device do you see it?
<doug16k>
catern, same cause as what I said, except I assumed it was bridged networking nic in qemu
<geist>
usually when i'm doing this i'm working at a TAP
<geist>
in which case you're bridging a nic, yeah
<catern>
geist: yeah I can see it with tcpdump - I went up to just TUN because I thought it would be less to debug
<geist>
tun i think operates at L3 but i dont know precisely how that works
<catern>
(for now)
<geist>
i guess you hand it packets without eth?
<catern>
yeah, IP packets
mctpyt has joined #osdev
<geist>
well, dunno.
<catern>
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<geist>
sometimes also make sure it's 'up'
<geist>
i've seen cases where a bridge or tap or whatnot is not considered up so it just eats things
<catern>
good idea, yeah it seems to be up
<geist>
if it's like tap then you need linux to have an address assigned and wahtnot do it
