is it really possible that a pg_dump of my 64GB akkoma database is only 7.1GB (with the compressed custom dump format (-Fc)) or is it incomplete for some reason?

@mcc @leo bitbucket wasn't the only mercurial host (or even the only public mercurial host - hg.sr.ht still exists)

@kemona_halftau "zero zero zero zero" or "zero o'clock" or "midnight"

morning

good night, going to sleep now

@niko @maddy adding this to my list of working redlib instances (it's quite short)

@pastthepixels @kemona_halftau testing using this program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(void) {
        pid_t pid = fork();
        switch (pid) {
        case -1:
                perror("fork");
                return 1;
        case 0: // child
                printf("child\n");
                for (;;) pause();
        default: // parent
                printf("parent, child PID = %d\n", pid);
                return 0;
        }
}

the child process does not get killed when the parent terminates. on linux, you can set the signal child processes receive when the parent dies using prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, …), but by default the child processes do not get killed when the parent dies

@solonovamax @kemona_halftau @luana there’s too many commands beginning with sy (even installed by systemd, there’s a load of systemd-*) and systemctl subcommands beginning with re for that to work. on my server the shortest unique tab completion is sudo systemc[tab] rest[tab]

@cwebber it uses the AT protocol, the same one used by many modems and invented for the Hayes Smartmodem in 1981

@kemona_halftau I think I understand it a bit better now:

• TAI is time defined by the average of multiple atomic clocks worldwide
• UTC is TAI + leap seconds, because the earth’s rotation is irregular and slowing down, and leap seconds are sometimes added to keep UTC within 0.9 seconds of UT1
• GMT, per its original definition, is mean solar time at 0° longitude, but is often used to refer to UTC or UT1
• UT1 is an approximation of mean solar time at 0° longitude because the sun is difficult to measure precisely (I don’t really understand it)
• The IERS Reference Meridian is slightly different from the original Greenwich Meridian (by 102 metres at the latitude of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich), and UTC is using the IERS Reference Medridian while GMT was originally using the Greenwich Meridian but now I’m not sure

@hexaheximal does it really look like that?

@kemona_halftau I would've disassembled it to have a look inside but I didn't have a screwdriver and returned it along with the car

@kemona_halftau @luana tmux/screen/dtach or init system (user) service or just running in the background with & (or ^Z and bg) and disowning the process

@therwi how do you manage with such bad internet? (I also noticed that your instance is down half the time I see one of your posts)

@thing send_files if you want to self-host something temporarily, x0.at (or previously 0x0.st, but that’s down now) if you want a file upload website hosted by a third party

@algernon stalwart violates the AGPL. I do not recommend it

@therwi this took 13 hours to federate to me
