distributor who doesn't know what they're selling vs OEM who doesn't list discontinued or unavailable products: who will win

 Wed Aug 04 01:32:41 +0000 2021

according to NPS, they don't make 14-eye steel-toed boots /nor/ 14-eye cherry reds. distributor has pictures of a 14-eye steel-toed cherry red, very clearly own work, but I also trust that distributor as far as I can throw them (difficult to do to a shop)

 Wed Aug 04 01:36:38 +0000 2021

but then NPS has a typo in the center of half of the job listings so who knows

a "USB to IrDA adapter", purportedly "Compatible with most of the notebooks […] and mobile phones"; is that so?

 Thu Aug 05 11:14:51 +0000 2021

novel packaging, also "most of the notebooks"? has no-one read this

 Thu Aug 05 11:20:31 +0000 2021

love how every language says "USB-IrDA adapter" of some sort but Russian's "infrared port with USB interface" which doesn't strictly mean anything

also, Windows 2003 doesn't, per se, exist, as it's a Server distribution (this implies IIS over IrDA, which I'd rather not consider)

 Thu Aug 05 11:29:43 +0000 2021

also also the max angle is 30±15, so.. 15-45? that's not a "max"?

 Thu Aug 05 11:50:56 +0000 2021

the disk was in this folded half of a print-out of some battery-based physical purification implement. what could be the meaning of this?

 Thu Aug 05 11:53:48 +0000 2021

it does actually appear to be compatible with "most phones", so point up on that one

 Thu Aug 05 11:58:21 +0000 2021

but only because phones run ancient Linux (3.4 in this case, Lineage on yuga). IrDA got hard-cut from the kernel in 4.17 so it's not in Buster or later, which means it fails notebooks and PDAs. the NT driver is 32-bit only, too, which you probably can't inject into a 64-bit image

 Thu Aug 05 12:02:23 +0000 2021

(and yes im fully aware this is not what it mobile phones means, im not /that young/ to not (indeed, I've used IrDA before as-intended when it was its time. it wasnt good), but I also don't have any hardware on hand, and doing IrDA from a Xperia Z is hilarious as a concept, so)

found a functional blades+enclosure set on eBay recently; problems include having 1k€, some way of shipping 300kg across the schengen border, and it having a peak power of over 1.5x what my entire house is currently specced for, but i can try to dig up a link if that's no matter

 Thu Aug 05 13:31:00 +0000 2021

weren't they, like, poasting ельбрус machines on crowdsupply recently?

 Thu Aug 05 13:32:36 +0000 2021

oh, blades are thick on the ground, enclosures are worth their weight in gold (also good luck finding compatible PSUs &a.). this is the only functional system one I've found across a couple days (and a beautiful 2U new-old-stock, but that started at multiple thousands of dollars)

 Thu Aug 05 13:36:21 +0000 2021

yeah, those; i've managed to forget this part. sux :/

 Thu Aug 05 13:41:41 +0000 2021

the longest before it starts returning 400 with no data is (1) with 8191 characters, so presumably 8k incl. NUL (as driven by (2), but that works up to a few megabytes)

 Thu Aug 05 15:28:17 +0000 2021

ive originally tried posting an entire 5MB linux image, but that (a) segfaulted wget(1), (b) broke curl(1) config parser, (c) hung firefox for the best part of 8 minutes, and (d) Header Overflew libcurl; the 8k is actually possible to observe in a browser

thankfully (unfortunately), mandoc does actually, uh, allow this

 Sun Aug 15 00:54:22 +0000 2021

you need a capable font and (probably more importantly) a multibyte-aware generator, of which groff provides neither, likely because roff is a typesetting language from the sixties

 Sun Aug 15 01:41:33 +0000 2021

OTOH, Plan 9 roff would probably Just handle the latter, at least? but it's also Plan 9 and therefore impossible to get data in or out of, so dunno

 Sun Aug 15 01:42:14 +0000 2021

rationalise it however you want, but the beauty if labour law is that it applies to your employer, not to you, and the suits are astronomical. for good reason

 Wed Aug 18 10:26:29 +0000 2021

hm, the TUHS has a V5 root dump with wc.c dated 1974.11.27, with no supported options, and print-out of the V5 manual, with WC(I) dated 1974.3.10 and a plethora of flags, clearly derived from the former. what does this mean?

 Wed Aug 18 12:10:07 +0000 2021

I mean, yes, most files in /usr/source have that date, but very much not /all/ of them! and that's still /after/ that version of the manual! that's likely an import date, then, but why is it newer by a half-year /and/ is older than documented?

 Wed Aug 18 12:12:50 +0000 2021

also V6 inherits the former version? was this manual just run off a system with a prophetic wc, considering the nominal over fifty installations?

 Wed Aug 18 12:29:29 +0000 2021

it's also very telling that there's no wc implementation in this world that conforms to POSIX, so

at least by anyone who speaks fluent English, because the closest I saw was http://linuxtravel.blogspot.com/2015/03/cygwin-groff-cyrillic-russian-fonts.html, and, admittedly, "dumping usr/share/groff/current/font/devps/T{R,B,I,BI}" is definitely a way to solve /some/thing (and, oddly, works, see 2nd line), it's hardly sustainable

didn't even get baptised, managed to avoid the appointments. i just think the poon-tang is undeniable and to not do it if it were easy would be mildly hypocritical as a hard-line anticlericalist

 Mon Aug 23 18:20:04 +0000 2021

(well, by undeniable i mostly mean "i know it'd work on me", but then you'd be one of the few people whose opinion I'd trust on this, so)

oddly, using the Курьер Прайм metrics with the default groff font yields the best results, because Courier Prime doesn't, hm, "look good" for this, if only because it's too heavy

this is partially why I've taken to sticking labels with the short-serial on the caddies/trays/&c. (and, presumably, why HP caddies have that divot in there), it's saved me so much hair (and time, finding the label is a challenge sometimes) in the long run

 Wed Aug 25 12:15:14 +0000 2021

also, and this is a brainworm solution to this, so I apologise in advance, but you can finger the disks and spin down the fucky one – there's no way you won't feel it spinning back up

 Wed Aug 25 12:17:54 +0000 2021

I, uh, have a label printer thing, so that. but another favourite is the actually-sticky bit of a sticky note (floppy bit lopped off), which gets you two lines of sharp, if small, text, and is good enough for the 2x4/2x7 of an HGST/WD short-serial

 Wed Aug 25 12:27:23 +0000 2021

against something that isn't black, narrow tape and fine CD marker is okay as well, but you definitely lose a bit of density there because a fine marker is still a marker

also, and I've never seen this outside of slavlandia (or, indeed, used by anyone younger than sixty), but these mfers are the true cream of the crop when it comes to cleanly labelling anything

 Thu Aug 26 13:45:20 +0000 2021

hm, apart from the tearing mode and capacity to be written on, it's absolutely nothing like paper tape; I haven't a damn clue what they make it out of, but it's vaguely meaty, very soft, 100% glue-clean, and a wundermaterial entirely inexplicable by modern science

 Fri Aug 27 12:08:01 +0000 2021

in classic polish product labeling fashion, it should be "goosebump tape" (or, for a literal translation, "goose-skin tape"; either way, ). I'm pretty sure there isn't a significant poultry component?

there are, seemingly, six extant copies of XPG3, all between 500 (Maribor) and 800 (Hamburg) kilometers from here. pain.

why does every entity in the book business seem so intent on Not Engaging In Book Business

 Mon Aug 30 16:02:47 +0000 2021

am i just spoiled from dealing with equipment that "needs to be catalogued" and therefore "is catalogued" because it "has specifications". this is not a high expectation level!!

 Mon Aug 30 16:06:58 +0000 2021

why the fuck does elesevier, which /published multiple volumes of multiple issues/ not have any of the XPGs on-record. why doesn't international shit book numerology, which assigned twice as many numbers. they exist on GBooks, but mostly unreachable by number and labeled wrong

 Mon Aug 30 16:11:50 +0000 2021

All I Want For Christmas Is a correct, exhaustive, number/title/author/date mapping for every book assigned an ISBN. which you wouldn't think unattainable, considering that's kinda what the point of the ISBN is; alas!

 Mon Aug 30 16:14:42 +0000 2021

admittedly, it'd also help if XPG was ever nominally something stronger than "[X/Open:CAE] [Portability Guide:Specification], Volume N" + Publish Date, but still, that's what the damned numbers are for

 Mon Aug 30 16:24:50 +0000 2021

XPG2 vol.1 in.. Gdańsk? which means I could probably get it locally? wild shit. but this is also the only result for "X/Open" in the polish library index, so http://katalog.nukat.edu.pl/lib/item?id=chamo:2570555

 Mon Aug 30 16:58:14 +0000 2021

damn, there's even something vaguely competent that would scan this (a) well and (b) without destroying it in Kraków. hm

 Mon Aug 30 17:25:09 +0000 2021

turns out the second result for "skan książek kraków" is actually in central warsaw. not that it matters because it's the only competent shop that sells this, but it's hilarious that this book will go gdańsk to kraków, I'll bring it home, then by courier to warsaw, then back

 Mon Aug 30 19:11:20 +0000 2021

or not, because books acquired by inter-university requisitions don't leave the library. so no scans of any quality (well, no scans at all, just copies on a 40-year-old xerox, most likely). cool. hate it here.

 Mon Aug 30 19:23:28 +0000 2021

Politechnika Gdańska has all five volumes of XPG2! they will not let you see any of them, even locally :)

 Mon Aug 30 19:29:20 +0000 2021

difficult to steal a 450-page book on a good day, but considering I don't, strictly, have access to /any/ university library and I'd rather not risk my friends' academic careers, it's quite a tall order

 Mon Aug 30 19:37:38 +0000 2021

loathe academia :)

 Mon Aug 30 19:52:23 +0000 2021

oh and apparently i could also get XPG3 from one of the german universities for a perfunctory fee as part of the inter-university library thing. but what's the fucking point if i can't actually fucking use it in any way beyond "look at it for a few minutes". what exactly is the p

classic CB-UNIX moment here: note how "expr index abcd d" is described as equivalent to "expr abcd : d" within two inches of "regex syntax is the same as that of ed(1), except that all patterns are 'anchored' (i.e., begin with ^) […]"
