00:25 <geist> Yes

00:56 <geist> backwards is the new typing

05:00 <klange> Reading thread titles in the forum mod queue makes me think they're going to reprogram me like the Sumerian virus in Snow Crash.

05:10 <kingoffrance> kind of single-dimensional/flamebaity/sky-ish ? :D

05:14 <klange> No, it's all spam with markov-esque garbage.

05:14 <kingoffrance> well, same thing :)

05:14 <klange> Slowly it seems to be figuring out words to include that require a second read to realize it's generated trash.

05:17 <Mutabah> klange: You are doing god's work

05:18 <klange> Friggin lockout of unsigned plugins finally landed in Firefox 60 for Linux so I have to pull up 'developer edition' to get my queue manager working again... never should have packaged it as an extension in the first place

05:23 <moon-child> at one point I ran an irc bot that said 'fuck mozilla' every time somebody mentioned mozilla. Not in the best taste, perhaps, but definitely justified

10:14 <henistein> How can I convert aarch64 instructions into hex? I can't find any table or paper about that, just some websites that does the stuff for me.

10:14 <Mutabah> For what purpose?

10:15 <Mutabah> You could use an assembler and hexdump?

10:16 <henistein> I want to make a simple assembler with some instructions support

10:16 <Mutabah> The ARM ARM should have what you want

10:18 <henistein> I will keep searching

10:19 <j`ey> henistein: the arm architecture reference manual has all the encodings

10:19 <Mutabah> https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest

10:19 <bslsk05> ​developer.arm.com: Documentation – Arm Developer

10:19 <henistein> oh thanks

10:19 <Mutabah> yeah, sorry, "ARM ARM" Means the "ARM Architecture Reference Manual"

11:46 <klange> y'know instead of just slapping Tokyo in this config file, maybe it would be good for interested users if I queried a geoip database for the weather config, so... yeah, did that https://klange.dev/s/Screenshot%20from%202021-07-25%2020-44-51.png

11:47 <klange> sadly the weather API I've been using does not have such a functionality to I have to ask someone elsewhere where you are, but there's a viable free API with a non-TLS endpoint (and no API keys needed!) for that

11:50 <klange> now should I build a whole system API for querying this data (silly from an actual application security aspect without some accurate location data like GPS or a wifi access point location database, but would be a cute mimicry of modern real-world systems if it popped up a "'Weather' wants to use your location." dialog...)

11:51 <GeDaMo> https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api ?

11:51 <bslsk05> ​www.weather.gov: API Web Service

11:52 <klange> NOAA API is only available over TLS, so it is not suitable for a base install where I do not have a TLS implementation.

11:52 <GeDaMo> Ah

11:53 <klange> And it's US specific. OpenWeatherMap, like most general weather APIs, aggregates from several national organizations so you can just throw a location at it.

11:59 <klange> Quick fixup as that was just a test, but grabbing a lat/lon for a location from ip-api.com - which has the requisite plain HTTP endpoint (and no api keys!) - and sending that to OWM as they do have query by coordinates - and storing the city name ip-api.com gives for display.

12:00 <klange> I was doing a dirty hack of combining city/region/country to pass to OWM _and_ display, but I know that's going to flake out somewhere whereas the lat/lon should pass to OWM fine everywhere?

18:11 <geist> oh the ip-api thing is pretty neat

18:20 <Izem> makes me wonder if I should be connecting to the net via a proxy

19:48 <dzwdz> are there any assemblers with directives for outputting values that aren't byte-aligned?

19:48 <dzwdz> something like C bitfields

19:51 <GeDaMo> You might be able to use shifts and bitwise operators to construct literals

19:53 <dzwdz> eh, that doesn't sound too clean

19:53 <dzwdz> i mostly want that to clean up some of the code which generates the GDT/IDT

19:54 <dzwdz> being able to generate it bit by bit in asm would be pretty neat

20:00 <zid> http://shogun.rm-f.net/~zid/gdt.html

20:00 <bslsk05> ​shogun.rm-f.net: GDT Parser

20:00 <zid> I just made this, then wrote comments next to it

20:01 <zid> it's only in one asm file anyway, once the trivial gdt from the bootloader is used, I reload it from C in the real kernel

20:01 <zid> http://shogun.rm-f.net/~zid/page.html may be vaguely useful too
