hmmm I got some new ram and now I'm not sure how to lay it out
<moon-child>
have 4x channels, 8x slots. 4x 8gb dimms, 2x 32gb dimms. Presumably I give each of the 32gb dimms a channel to itself? Which channels should get a 32gb dimm and which 8gb dimms?
<moon-child>
I guess the bigger ones should go closer to the cpu?
invalidopcode has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
invalidopcode has joined #osdev

ooh new rams
<zid>
you need to know the number of ranks on each dimm for this btw

Fewest ranks per channel is typically what'll work best

whaat
<moon-child>
what's a rank
<moon-child>
andhow do I find out how many ranks I have?

moon-child: usually they say 1xR or 2R or something somewhere the model name

and it correlates to whether they've got ICs on one or both sides usually
<zid>
(cpuz gets the speed of this ram wrong though, it runs out of room for jedec profiles at 888 then.. gives up?)
<zid>
actually the speed is just wrong entirely, weird, I wonder if I should bugrep that
<moon-child>
xmp profile?
<moon-child>
I did find a thing that says 'target dram frequency: 2666mhz'. So why is it claiming not to run at that frequency? Claims all the sticks support it
<zid>
JEDEC is the standards body, the ram will report those and the bios will train them, but they also have 'non-standard' modes called XMP
<zid>
because JEDEC adds the speeds *after* they become popular :D
<zid>
most bioses default to not trying to train the xmp profile speeds
<moon-child>
well, I futzed with some settings related to 'training', and it now claims to be running at 2666mhz
<zid>
cpuz will tell you
<zid>

lshw shows the model of the ram, but it doesnt show rank
<clever>
i guess google it from there?
<clever>
and then play musical chairs with the ram
<zid>
we moved onto speed, clever
<zid>
which lshw can't show apparently
<zid>
just the jedec info

no lshw!

so you're double fucked

I'd trust the bios screen, anyway

I've not rebooted since I got my new ram, I should tighten the timings up tbh
<moon-child>
ooh I get way more memory bandwidth now than I did before
<moon-child>
I'm pretty sure
<zid>
how much?
<moon-child>
(actually kind of suspicious, as the difference is more than 2666/2133)
<zid>
I get 50GB/s
<moon-child>
I think I got 15gb/s before, now 40-50
<zid>
dang, welcome to ddr3
<moon-child>
also worth noting I only have 4 cores
<zid>
I have 6!
<moon-child>
so that's probably not helping. I'll get more once I have a job again...
<zid>
I hope your machine didn't cost more than mine
<zid>
£50 for the ram, £20 for the cpu
<moon-child>
size matters
<moon-child>
I did get the cpu for way cheap. Mobo more expensive
<zid>
yea my mobo is stupidly expensive
<zid>
There's one 2nd hand on ebay for £244 :D

<zid>
wait what, fuck, there's HMT42G here, the 16GB one
<zid>
for dirt cheap, noo
<moon-child>

except in real life with the guy i just mentioned

hence: "where is your book?" being the ##c motto at the time

the help vampire usually has a personality disorder
<gog>
and demands attention and care from people who don't owe it to them
<zid>
It's a bit like hiring, you use petty reasons just to cut the 400 applicants down to 20

and becomes indignant when you provide them with the tools but not the care
<zid>
so that the real-20 can be considered properly
<kaichiuchi>
gog: that I can understand, those people are annoying, yes
<kaichiuchi>
understand what I am not saying: I am *NOT* saying there aren't annoying people
<kaichiuchi>
but generally speaking, if you say someone is mentally retarded within 5 lines, either they have said something massively fucked up, or you don't have good people skills

there's a non-programming support space i'm in where we have this one repeat customer. she knows people get sick of her shit so she comes back under different nicknames doing the same thing and demanding that everybody pay attention to her problems and listen to her vent. then she complains that we're not helpful and demands that we provide her with a list of similar spaces she can go abuse.
<gog>
i've spent countless hours trying to get through to her
<gog>
trying to comfort her
<gog>
and it's been a massive drain on me and other people and she still comes back to take more from us
<zid>
You learn not to be a victim eventually
<kaichiuchi>
yes, those are people with a serious psychiatric disorder
<zid>
It doesn't help either of you
<gog>
anyhow, that's the kind of person who needs to be discouraged
<gog>
and it's hard to tell which is which
<kaichiuchi>
you could make the argument that help channels don't need to exist at all, is my point, at this point
<gog>
a person who is just genuinely clueless and needs guidance to the resources to help themselves
<kaichiuchi>
yes
<kaichiuchi>
and that's not wrong
<gog>
or a narcissist who wants to waste your time and energy for pleasure
<kaichiuchi>
there are 2983742983489297 bad C/C++ books
<zid>
That's why /topic's exist, and the lead question "Which book are you using?"
<kaichiuchi>
infinitely more bad C/C++ resources that come up on google
<zid>
If they say no book, you tell them to read K&R2
<zid>
if they say a different book, you tell them not to read that book it's shit
<zid>
simple syste
<zid>
If they say K&R2 you then ask them if they read the chapter this shit is covered in, and they say no
<zid>
and you say "well, have fun"
<kaichiuchi>
I think what I'm getting at ultimately is: yes, gog's story rings true, those people are everywhere, I don't disagree; but #c is the only place I've ever been in ever where people routinely got shit on
<kaichiuchi>
*ROUTINELY*
<zid>
because it was routinely joined :P
<kaichiuchi>
so is every other channel and help group
<zid>
not really, tbh
<kaichiuchi>
what? you think #c is that special?
<heat>
i think you're both being stupid
<zid>
I'm 100% serious about the every 2 miutes someone completely incapable of rational thought was joining
<zid>
the.. 12 years ago or whatever these logs are from
<heat>
help vampires exist but shitting on them is absolutely not something you should do
<kaichiuchi>
i'm not sure i'm the one being stupid here
<heat>
just ignore them, simple 'as
<heat>
<heat> i think you're both being stupid
<zid>
gotta shuffle them out the back door as fast as possible in a body bag
<kaichiuchi>
the stupidity is shitting on someone to such a degree that they stop even trying to write code
<zid>
so the people you might be able to help can be helped
<kaichiuchi>
i'm not saying zid did that with any conclusive evidence or anything
<zid>
kaichiuchi: That probably saves a lot of effort
<kaichiuchi>
no it doesn't...
<kaichiuchi>
i swear to god this is the only profession I know of where this type of attitude is proliferated in mass numbers
<zid>
No, it's literally everywhere, you just see it
<kaichiuchi>
so, what I'm hearing is
<zid>
artists get told "maybe art isn't for you", pianists, football players, etc
<kaichiuchi>
yes, and that's not really okay
<kaichiuchi>
if they enjoy doing something, and if they want to try and get better, the last thing you do is tell them they can't do it
<zid>
You just said it didn't happen
<zid>
so it's fine
<kaichiuchi>
it's extremely neurotic to say, implicitly, "i'm glad that I probably shat on someone so hard they stopped coding because they're just another idiot"
<heat>
mjg, solaris
<kaichiuchi>
i'm going to stop talking now before I say something awful, and I don't want to say something awful
<zid>
oh btw, that kontain guy was in the channel for the next EIGHT HOURS asking those basic ass questions :D
<zid>
and by basic I mean 'this person is basic' not 'trivial'
<zid>
He was also there the next day..
<mjg>
heat: what
<heat>
solaris man
<mjg>
there is probably a discord for C
<kaichiuchi>
solaris
<mjg>
makes one wonder how that looks like
<zid>
Is there a solaris for discord
<kaichiuchi>
mjg: i don't trust anything on discord
<heat>
IS THERE A DISCORD FOR SOLARIS
<kaichiuchi>
well, particularly when it comes to programming
<mjg>
kaichiuchi: sure
<mjg>
heat: almost
<kaichiuchi>
something that I can readily agree upon: when I joined the cpp discord server, I was almost instantly banned
<mjg>
there is discord or compatible for omnios
<mjg>
which is a illumos variant
<kaichiuchi>
I don't quite remember what I said, but it was completely innocuous
<heat>
sorry, i only use enterprise UNIX
<zid>
heat: what comes after 2f? is it 230?
<kaichiuchi>
then I had two mods DM me
<kaichiuchi>
and I said "aight i'm out"
<mjg>
kaichiuchi: "FUCK CPP USE RUST FUCKERS"
<heat>
call me after Discord for UnixWare comes out
<heat>
zid, hahahaha
<heat>
we got trolled so hard man
<zid>
We got help vampried but we were bored :P
<mjg>
one could argue you were instigiting
<zid>
I knew what I was doing, at least
<kaichiuchi>
that guy i worked with told me the hex digits were through 0-G
<kaichiuchi>
and was adamant
<epony>
the price is $2.49 USD for UNIX and 2,249 USD for the PC
<mjg>
uh?
<mjg>
this one is trivially disprovable though?
<kaichiuchi>
absolutely
<mjg>
so it's liek what happened
<epony>
you call that shitOS
<zid>
kaichiuchi: This is a reference to the time me and heat spent 3 hours trying to teach a guy OSdev, and by teach a guy OSdev, we mean teaching him how to count.
<zid>
Because he coudln't count.
<epony>
the PC costs about $250-500 USD in reality
<heat>
it wasn't just us
<kaichiuchi>
zid: in that case, I can agree there's a limit
<kaichiuchi>
please understand me
<kaichiuchi>
there is a limit
<heat>
it was legit like 4 or 5 people
<kaichiuchi>
but that limit isn't usually within 5 sentences
<heat>
we all got fucking bamboozled by mr hex
<kaichiuchi>
*usually*
<epony>
but for you, because you liek shitOS $2,000 USD extra charge
<kaichiuchi>
"omg i'm so tired" every time it got hard
<epony>
octal 2 missing digits
<zid>
'hard'
<ddevault>
I mean, I don't know
<ddevault>
hence asking
<zid>
incrementing numbers :D
<ddevault>
seems like things are designed such that more than one can be present
<kaichiuchi>
i think the poor bastard was just a kid, and deeply confused, and bit off far more than he could chew, and got overwhelmed
<zid>
He was very beyond "whelmed"
<heat>
are you kidding me
<heat>
he couldn't fucking count
<zid>
#osdev yo
<heat>
zid pulled out the abbacus
<kaichiuchi>
i'm trying to be nice
<Ermine>
what happens
<kaichiuchi>
because again, I definitely see the wtf
<heat>
and *the javascript*
<epony>
count in BCD with gray code
<epony>
let's see you do it now
<zid>
My favourite was that he liked to respond with "no"
<kaichiuchi>
this is what I'm saying
<kaichiuchi>
likely a kid, and wanted attention
<kaichiuchi>
i've... done a lot of stupid things on the internet at that age, as I said.
<kaichiuchi>
that would be one of them.
<zid>
I'd absolutely not be upset if someone called you a moron and banned you
<zid>
sorry not orry
<epony>
that assumes people stop doing stupid things on the internet.. which might not be even possible
<kaichiuchi>
yet I turned out fine
<kaichiuchi>
well, 'fine'
<epony>
hahaha
<epony>
FINE!
<zid>
Think of how much finer you could have been
<kaichiuchi>
i don't think that's how that works
<zid>
if you had a strong parental figure telling you to knock that stupid shit off
<epony>
like a balet dancer on low carb diet
<epony>
who can't dance
<epony>
and looks hungry
<epony>
for knowledge and more
<kaichiuchi>
i think we're just going to have to agree to disagree, even though your arguments have some merit to them
<zid>
osdev basically enver bans, it's kinda fun but we're low enough traffic
<kaichiuchi>
yes and I'm glad osdev never bans
<zid>
that I can just ignore a couple of persistant trolls
<kaichiuchi>
almost never bans anyway
<kaichiuchi>
i mean the conversation started off fairly okay
<kaichiuchi>
then it did quickly devolve because it was obvious he was immature
<zid>
so the question is then, you know he's about to do it from line 1
<zid>
do you just ban him 'unfairly'
<zid>
or let him send the next 80 messages, then ban him
<zid>
so that you can justify the ban to.. noboy
Left_Turn has joined #osdev
<kaichiuchi>
banning is always the last resort, if there's even a modicum of hope (which was extinguished the moment he kept saying he was sleepy and "no" all of the time)
<mjg>
zid: nice find re yaml url
<kaichiuchi>
I've *struggled* with certain things
<zid>
yaml url?
<kaichiuchi>
and I was really trying to learn
<kaichiuchi>
I ended up getting banned from the channel
<kaichiuchi>
that sucked
<Ermine>
ban moment is a random variable which is Markov moment
<ddevault>
klange: I'm reading your aarch64 timer/GIC setup code and wew boy do I not grok it

<kaichiuchi>
ohhhh
<mjg>
zid: when i was about 5 i was taking a piss outdoors and my 5y/o female neighbour was watching
<zid>
mjg: what about yaml url secrets?
<kaichiuchi>
when i was 22 i got completely drunk and puked and pissed in my friend's yard
<kaichiuchi>
that's a secret
<zid>
no it isn't
<kaichiuchi>
you're right
<zid>
that's like, every weekend for 30 million brits
<mjg>
yaml stands for yet another moronic languagte
<zid>
mjg: Please just tell me I am dying here
<zid>
if you don't tell me I will develop severe trust issues
<kaichiuchi>
speaking of britain
<mjg>
life is hard zid
<zid>
okay I no longer trust mjg to say anything interesting
<kaichiuchi>
i kind of want to visit oxford university or something
<zid>
and anything he says that I don't understand, I will assume is nonsense he won't elaborate on even if asked
<zid>
so can safely be ignored

doubles down on grooming heat
<heat>
hello
<mjg>
heat: hey buddy, how is the solaris install going
<kaichiuchi>
god
<heat>
i deleted my openbsd vm
<mjg>
heat: did uncle Bonwick give you a candy
<mjg>
nooo
<mjg>
wtf
<mjg>
dude
<kaichiuchi>
that counting story has something stuck in my head
<zid>
heat: do you know what a 'nice find re yaml url' is
<mjg>
arguably it is getting dark
<kaichiuchi>
Everything has its beginning. But it doesn't start at "one." It starts long before that, in chaos. The world is born... from zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes two, two becomes ten, ten becomes 100. Taking it all back to one solves nothing. So long as Zero remains, one... will eventually grow to 100 again. And so our goal was to erase Zero. Even the mighty Patriots began with a single man. That
<kaichiuchi>
one man's desires grew huge, bloated; absorbed technology; began to manipulate the economy. We realized too late that we had created a beast. We had helped turn Zero into 100. His sin was ours. And for that reason, I'm taking it upon myself to send Zero... back to nothing.
<mjg>
zid: oh wow, i'm so sorry
<zid>
Okay he's well into disorganized speech territory here, take the meds kaichiuchi
<zid>
I already ranted about the *concept* of it, here
<mjg>
oh you did?
<zid>
yea
<zid>
<zid> People kept trying to get me to use YAML on one of my projects
<zid>
<zid> Literally nobody could explain to me why
<zid>
<zid> "It has a date format!"
<zid>
<zid> Okay but.. if it parses the date, it's going to give me the date in some struct, and I will have to use the posix date functions to turn it into a date I can use anyway
<mjg>
:))
<zid>
<zid> so I've skippped.. precisely 0 steps, but now the config takes 10x as long to load and uses a custom format
<mjg>
this reminds me of people who push tdd
<mjg>
the reason to do tdd is that you will have tests!
<heat>
the only date format I use is nanoseconds since epoch
<mjg>
epoch: heat's birthday
<zid>
I use the gregorian jan 1st 1970
<mjg>
i don't even track time
<heat>
no time in polan
<mjg>
no time like the present
<mjg>
time() returns a constant named NOW
<zid>
But I am thinking of switching to julian
<zid>
how many days apart are we now?
<zid>
That'll solve the Y2038K problem
<mjg>
lemme count
<mjg>
before = time();
<mjg>
after = time();
<heat>
zid, you should ask the pontifex maximus, he deals with that sort of stuff
<mjg>
i get 0
<zid>
mjg: I think people got *very* confused when they started seeing json
<zid>
because json is just 'eval me in javascript and you can sorta load data into javascript, which does not support files'
<zid>
and went OH, WE SHOULD HAVE THAT DO, forgetting that a) they were not javascript and b) they could open files
<zid>
s/DO/TOO
<zid>
so now everything is a yaml describing an xml containing a json descripting what should be an ini
<mjg>
see so happens i need $something to represent parts of a directory tree and was thinking of json
<mjg>
filename + mtime
<heat>
i like json
<heat>
i use it
<FireFly>
zid: and it's all generated by nix *ducks*
* Ermine
uses XML
<mjg>
i happen to know there will be no funny names in there
<mjg>
so escaping lullers is not a problem
<heat>

if you're not comfy with that, do keep in mind that you're going to send some sort of auth token in any case ;)

bro if i had an openbsd account i would SO do it

but then again perhaps i would not be in position to write about smp
<heat>
lol
<heat>
also keep in mind the normal restrictions (no HTML, plain text, gmail sucks and wraps your lines automagically)
<heat>
also if you still have issues with git send-email auth, I think there's a tool called b4 that can help out with that. basically it takes your patch and sends it internally from a @kernel.org with your actual email as a Reply-To or something
<mjg>
ooh that would be nice

talking about weird tricks!

grow a pair and use git send-email
