00:53 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ anyone here run tor on ec2 instances for scraping?
00:53 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I am reading an "expert" blog on big data and scraping and I am not impressed
01:02 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 tor and scraping ?
01:02 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 what are you doing ?
01:05 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I am just reading an article
01:06 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ examples this would be useful for are the usual suspects: google, yahoo, facebook, etc..
01:17 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Trying to stay below the radar before the captchas show up
02:18 ๐Ÿ”— godane so i found 23 more episodes of slicon spin
02:19 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS So I've been thinking about setting archivingyoursh.it's mail up with a provider.
02:19 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Don't know who though
02:20 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Any ideas, guys?
08:00 ๐Ÿ”— godane i have past 22k videos in my g4video-web collection
08:01 ๐Ÿ”— godane MacGruber Trailer: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video43813
08:01 ๐Ÿ”— godane Mass Effect 2 Extended Interview: Combat & Gear: https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video43809
08:03 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Just downloaded and watched that
08:03 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I need to see that movie
08:04 ๐Ÿ”— godane it was very bad
08:11 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I had heard
08:11 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ sometimes I like to watch a really bad movie for the lolz
08:11 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ mst3000
08:47 ๐Ÿ”— soultcer omf_: Well not on EC2, but scraping with Tor I know. Though for the big players it probably won't be very effective, because other people use Tor as well to access those. (Google often gives a captcha if you come through tor)
08:48 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ poop
08:48 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I found the article interesting but all the content on that site is just fluff to sell their services
08:48 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ http://blog.databigbang.com/ is the site I am referring to
08:51 ๐Ÿ”— soultcer I always find it laughable when "scraping experts" use Tor and don't have a clue how to use it properly, so they just set up mutliple tor instances or similar
08:52 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I know, 90% of the code in that article is boilerplate
08:53 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ and he was trying to promote his site on HN
08:53 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ it didn't get anywhere.
08:55 ๐Ÿ”— soultcer Weird. I've seen the most simple of scraping tutorials rise high on HN. Heck, anything with code that is easy to understand rises high on HN, because it is the only code those startup half-coders understand
08:57 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ That python scraper one that came up recently was so pathetic
08:57 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ HN never has really hardcore code
08:59 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I never bother to submit anything to HN
09:00 ๐Ÿ”— soultcer HN is great for a lot of stuff, but it's not a programming discussion site.
09:00 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Yes. You hit it right on the head
09:18 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Know of any quote database software that ISN'T dodgy?
09:18 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ There is never enough epeen
09:19 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ For storing quotes
09:19 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Yeah
09:19 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Like bash.org
09:21 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley :)
09:21 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley How's it goin anyway GLaDOS ?
09:21 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Pretty good.
09:21 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley not seen you on for a few days, or maybe thats been me?
09:21 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Just you.
09:21 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley :D
09:22 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Rewrote some of the backend of http://GLaDOS.me/
09:22 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley well yeah work was hectic and then it's bank holiday weekend so i've been gettinkg drunk :D
09:22 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS That's fun!
09:22 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS ..not that I would know what it's like, BUT STILL
09:22 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Oh it's fun
09:23 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley I got to thank my brother when he returns
09:23 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley got me some beautiful vodka
09:23 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Vodka <3
09:23 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS I mean what
09:23 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I got a couple oatmeal stouts to try this weekend
09:23 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ fuck where did saturday go already
09:23 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley http://www.globalpackagegallery.com/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=110704&g2_serialNumber=2
09:24 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley This ^^ is _so_ smooth
09:24 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley I was like.... this "IS" alcoholic right?
09:24 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Fancy.
09:25 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ You ever tried Voxx? It is smooth
09:26 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Gah, need to add logic to detect when lastfm doesn't return an album.
09:26 ๐Ÿ”— GLaDOS Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
09:28 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ check out this circle jerk - http://www.deepwebresearch.com/

09:35 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley omf_: no i haven't
09:36 ๐Ÿ”— soultcer And another joyent instance stuck in the provisioning state for hours
09:36 ๐Ÿ”— soultcer I wonder if they bill for those
09:37 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ probably
09:37 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ why don't they have a way to view the current bill
09:37 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ or do they and my account is borked
09:37 ๐Ÿ”— soultcer No they have no way to view the current bill
09:38 ๐Ÿ”— soultcer Big disadvantage in my opinion
09:39 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Added a note to the wiki about that
09:40 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Lets see how this one looks

16:44 ๐Ÿ”— chazchaz Anyone know what might cause screen to have really high CPU usage?
16:45 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 software that write too much data to stdout and your screen have a big buffer ?
16:46 ๐Ÿ”— chazchaz I guess, but I havn't changed the buffer size.
16:51 ๐Ÿ”— chazchaz I think I was trying to do to much on the box and it just went to crap overall. It didn't even restart cleanly with shutdown -r now
16:52 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 ubuntu ?
16:53 ๐Ÿ”— chazchaz xubuntu
16:54 ๐Ÿ”— chazchaz What made you guess that?
16:55 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 bogus system limit
16:55 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 you are probably under a account that can do Real Time
16:55 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 so an application can take down the whole system
16:56 ๐Ÿ”— chazchaz Well, the load average was 21 when I was trying to shit down, so I don't really blame ubuntu
16:57 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 i blame ubuntu
16:57 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 with the proper kernel & system limit

17:18 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid it's pretty fucking disgusting
17:35 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Debian is a huge pile of shit. It is not designed to have gtk2 & gtk3 installed on the latest stable release.
17:35 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ gtk3 is not even stable on there
17:35 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ damn butt providers need to use newer shit
17:39 ๐Ÿ”— Aranje debian and newest in the same breath? what sort of alternate universe do you live in
17:40 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud a moon provider running Sid would be awfully strange, but you can get pretty new stuff if you're willing to run Sid
17:41 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I black out how bad debian is after I finish using it so I never remember how fucking old and crusty it is
17:49 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ no major release in 3 years, what are they microsoft?
17:49 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ RHEL/Centos is slow as hell too but does not have this kind of problem.
18:00 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud but you're probably using EPEL - if you were using CentOS 5 near EOL, you were probably pulling your hair out then as well
18:10 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley i still am :<
18:10 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley da,mn work
18:11 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I understand where Debian and RHEL are coming from
18:11 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ they target the people who do not need the newest of the new
18:11 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ As a developer I always want the newest of the new to work with
18:12 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ because by the time it gets into production it is not new anymore
18:13 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ This is where ubuntu comes in and eats debian's food. It is the shit just newet
18:13 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I mean it is the same shit, just much newer versions
18:25 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley hehe
18:26 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley but why not offer it under the guise of "it maybe broken".
18:31 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 try experimental
18:32 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 unstable + experimental is fun
18:34 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ nico_32, that requires more work. If I just start with an up to date distro I have no work to do.
18:34 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud I'm guessing you've tried Fedora Rawhide before?
18:34 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Nope. I stopped using red hat when they released the first fedora and changed everything around
18:39 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 omf_: fedora core was s***
18:39 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 fedora 10 was good
18:39 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 12 acceptable
18:40 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud they do have the best code names though
18:40 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 18 full of bug

20:29 ๐Ÿ”— * joepie91 sees fedora
20:29 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 urgh
20:29 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 I am currently on fedora 16
20:29 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ joepie91, what kernel version is that?
20:29 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 probably older than the sun
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 3.6.11-1.fc16.x86_64
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ that is not very old
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 regardless, Fedora 16 is EOL now
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ when did fc 16 get released?
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 since like a month or so
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 so I am going to rm it and switch to opensuse again
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 when I have my desktop machine withoin reach
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 within *
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 unsure
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ joepie91, I welcome you with open arms to the opensuse crowd
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— * joepie91 really hates fedora
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I got 12.2 right now
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 omf_: I'm actually a long time suse user
20:30 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 as in, since 9.1
20:31 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 this laptop came with fedora
20:31 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I started on 10.2
20:31 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 (it was a gift)
20:31 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 and I simply haven't had the chance to replace it
20:31 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 :(
20:31 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 I <3 suse
20:31 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 shit just works etc
20:31 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ It is stable and really up to date
20:32 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 one of the things I like most about suse is probably their package search on software.opensuse.org
20:32 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ oh yeah they got everyone beat
20:32 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 if I need like the newest just-came-out version of something for whatever reason, and it's not in the main repo
20:32 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 it's pretty much guaranteed that *someone* has it in their build service repo
20:32 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 as a working package
20:32 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ or in factory
20:32 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 so I don't have to fuck around with compiling etc :D
20:32 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 well yes, but build service repos typically have much more and newer stuff
20:33 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ the only application I compile is Blender to make sure all the correct features are turned on
20:33 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 factory still has a limited set of software on offer
20:33 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 hell
20:33 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 sometimes I actually use the opensuse package search
20:33 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 to find fedora packages
20:33 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 because there's no other repos carrying them
20:33 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 which is insane in itself, haha
20:33 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ The OBS cross build is pretty awesome when you need it
20:34 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 indeed
20:34 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I have been using suse studio for years as well
20:34 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ building netboot images, jeos and EC2 instances
20:34 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 idk, I just really like stuff that "just works" without any fucking around... I prefer using my machine as a reliable tool, rather than something to hack around on :P
20:34 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 heh
20:34 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 I've started messing with it once
20:34 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 never finished due to lack of attention span
20:34 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 but it's quite nice
20:35 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Debian has live but they killed their build thing that was like it
20:36 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Since '95 I have used Debian, Slackware, RedHat (before RHEL), gentoo, opensuse and RHEL/Centos
20:36 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ never used Mint, or Arch
20:37 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ opensuse always has the newest PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby and GCC. That alone keeps me here
20:37 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley gentoo?
20:37 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I loved gentoo
20:37 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley what did you think btw?
20:37 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley But compile times are a bitch in teh enterprise?
20:38 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Compile times are a bitch at home, in the enterprise I just used distcc
20:38 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I setup a 300 node cluster with gentoo
20:38 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ rebuilds took no fucking time
20:38 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ then again it did not have to build anything big like X, firefox or Libreoffice
20:38 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley :D
20:39 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley yeah
20:39 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley thats my point to the haters
20:39 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley and even if you did, you have a build host,
20:39 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley and then binpkg for everything.
20:40 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ yeah building and syncing with more than 1 compiling machine makes things zippy fast
20:40 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ haters can kiss off
20:41 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley :)
20:41 ๐Ÿ”— * joepie91 was briefly distracted
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley i have my own gentoo router, gentoo server, gentoo desktop....
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley gentoo xbmc now
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley :D
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 omf_: I also quite like the up-to-date-ness of suse
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 :P
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 and more importantly
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 it doesn't break when you update it
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley .....
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ yeah that is the gold right there
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley yeah about that
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley i watched my "collgue" update suse
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 it typically *
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley he rebooted
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley it couldn't find dev-root anymore
20:42 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Besides gentoo I think opensuse is one of the most up to date distros just like Fedora
20:43 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley I giggled quitely to myself
20:43 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 Smiley: guess: grub broke?
20:43 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley joepie91: i don't know exactly, he likes to think he knows 'IT' but meh
20:43 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 it sounds like a grub issue
20:43 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley he is terrible at debugging anytyhing, even in his field. (telecoms0
20:43 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 I've made a habit of ignoring the distro used whenever a grub issue appears
20:43 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 because it's usually grub itself that's fucking it up somehow
20:44 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 but hey, I may be wrong :P
20:44 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 anyway, I don't dispute that opensuse *may* break on update like everything else
20:44 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 but at least it's not like ubuntu
20:44 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 where every time a new version of something comes out
20:44 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 you see people complaining all over the place about how they can't boot anymore
20:44 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 or how their desktop environment suddenly vanished
20:44 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 etc
20:44 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 or how their hardware is not recognized anymore all of a sudden
20:44 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley joepie91: oh god ubuntu
20:44 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley he installed that too
20:45 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley couldn't figure out how to get both monitors working
20:45 ๐Ÿ”— * Smiley just facedesks
20:45 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley And then he's laughing because I updated X and broke it because my nvidia drivers hadn't built against the new kernel
20:45 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I have been able to command line upgrade from 10.2 to 12.2 with no breaks
20:45 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley yet, I could go into the console, and fix it all up myself easily, because I had built the whole thing.
20:45 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I have never gotten an ubuntu version bump to work without extra fucking around
20:45 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Most of it comes down to planning
20:46 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ (รขยœยฟรขย—ย รขย€ยฟรขย—ย )
20:46 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ damn that was supposed to be PINK
20:47 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ oh well
20:47 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid you suck
20:47 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid cant even irc
20:47 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley lol o filter colours :P
20:48 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ (รขย•ยฏร‚ยฐรขย–ยกร‚ยฐ)รขย•ยฏรฏยธยต pร„ยฑร‰ยนร„ยฑqร‰ยฅร‰ย”S
20:48 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 Smiley: actually video drivers are a really strong point for suse
20:48 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 for amd and nvidia I mean
20:48 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 both have a 1-click-install thing that installs the proprietary drivers and keeps them up to date
20:48 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley yah, he said it just worked in that reguard.
20:48 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 without any further fuss
20:48 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley regard....*
20:48 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 or any vendor-specific instsallers
20:49 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 installers *
20:49 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Novell when they ran it worked with Intel and AMD to make that happen
20:49 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 not surprised
20:49 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ nvidia doesn't work with anyone
20:49 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 :P
20:49 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 Linus said as much
20:49 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 also, I'm kind of excited about the Steam for Linux thing
20:49 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ yeah I remember watching that talk live online and when he said that I knew people were going to love it
20:50 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw I can report that the Steam for Linux client boots faster on my machine than it does on Windows
20:50 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw (I didn't time it, but it certainly feels that way)
20:50 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Ever notice how MS never talks about the advances to memory management or swapping
20:50 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley well it's up and running on gentoo
20:50 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley I needto debug mine.
20:51 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw I do wish that Valve made it easier to run it in a user account
20:51 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ and the Linux devs have article after article on how they make it better
20:51 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw I had to extract the deb and fiddle with a bunch of crap to make that happen
20:51 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley yipdw: get a getter distro.
20:51 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley :<
20:51 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw Smiley: the official distribution is as a Debian package
20:51 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw also, I've burned out on OS changes
20:51 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 yipdw: there's a guide on the steam forums on how to make a RPM out of it
20:51 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 with Alien
20:51 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 as in
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley yipdw: hmmm
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 a working RPM
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 not a half broken one :P
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley on gentoo I did layman -a games
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw yes
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley emerge -av steam
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley :D
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw I know there are ports
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw but that's not really the point
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley hmmmm
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw the point is that Valve distributes a Debian package, I grabbed that and I just fiddled with some stuff
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley I wish the release by steam was either a binary or sources
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw and it would be nice if I didn't have to fiddle with it, but that's not fatal
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley yipdw: nod.
20:52 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley my point is within hours it was already in repo for gentoo.
20:53 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw sure
20:53 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ yeah making ebuilds is a snap
20:53 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw I'd expect that, the Gentoo repos update crazy fast :P
20:54 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley thats because its simple to add.
20:54 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid and then you compile for 5 hours until the other distros caught up :P
20:54 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Schbirid: it's abinary
20:54 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley there was nothing to compile :P
20:54 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid :_P
20:54 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw but about the games -- I'm surprised at how well (most) of them work
20:55 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw I mean, I shouldn't be
20:55 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw there are occasional anomalies, like Beat Hazard, which has some weird scorekeeping and scaling bugs
20:55 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley heh
20:55 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley most of them are broken for me
20:56 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley I need to fiddle more in that regard, but I think thats just a driver issue and the fact I never really play games
20:56 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Look at the AAA games on Linux before steam. Quake 1-4, Doom 1-3, Quake Wars:ET, Return to Castle Wolfenstien, one of the Unreals, etc...
20:56 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ not many but they all run cleanly
20:57 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw sure
20:57 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Myth 1-3
20:57 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw I guess I was referring more to games that were based on not-so-well-known engines though
20:57 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw lots of the indies for example
20:57 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 oh
20:57 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 ug
20:57 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 uh *
20:57 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 by the way
20:58 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 afaik the following engines are currently functional on Linux or a port exists:
20:58 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 Unreal Engine, Unity Engine, Game Maker, ...
20:58 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw and if http://news.softpedia.com/news/Strike-Suite-Zero-Could-Arrive-Soon-on-Steam-for-Linux-324219.shtml is true then I will be booting into Windows far less often
20:58 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw :P
20:58 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 lol
20:58 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 that's kind of already a few of the most used engines
20:58 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 (game maker linux exports were announced like a week ago)
20:58 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ don't forget Id Tech 1-4
20:58 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw well, there's many games that just contain their own engine code
20:59 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ also Build and Lithtech 1-2
20:59 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 also, I find it interesting how game publishers now seem to be stumbling over each other to publish for linux
20:59 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 like, go to a random game publishers site
20:59 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Just look at windows 8
20:59 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 and there's a reasonable chance of seeing 'linux' somewhere on the front page
20:59 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ the shit hoops to get on their app store
20:59 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 in the news section
20:59 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley i don't see why your supprised.
21:00 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley it's like f2p
21:00 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley No one bothered for so long, then Zynga showed it can make some serious money
21:00 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley suddenly ALL THE GAMES!
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ The PS4 is going to use Clang/LLVM and mostly open libraries
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley orly?
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 Smiley: actually f2p would be a bad example
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ yes
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley sony learnt their lesson then.
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ let me grab that announcement for you
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— balrog_ omf_: will there be a way for anyone to publish software for it?
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 there's a fair amount of companies that has been fucking with this for a while
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley joepie91: ...oh?
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 and at some point EA followed suit
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— balrog_ (a la Apple iOS App Store)
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 after that it started exploding
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley joepie91: but the exploison is clear to see.
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 that was before Zynga afaik
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley hmmm nah
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley farmville
21:01 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ https://twitter.com/princeofcode/status/316981703589638144
21:02 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley That's when it exploded in the view of "normal" people
21:02 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1b51px/ps4_development_kit_to_use_llvmclang_with_c11/
21:02 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I think it started when vista tanked
21:02 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ MS looked really bad and game devs were still developing for XP
21:03 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ many jumped over it to 7
21:03 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 May 2009, Battleforge (EA), and a few other EA games around or before that date I believe
21:03 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 June 2009, Farmville
21:03 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley wtf is battleforge?
21:03 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw omf_: wow, that's quite a difference
21:03 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 (the f2p I mean)
21:04 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley i've never heard of it, and I'm a big gamer
21:04 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw from prior Playstations, anyway
21:04 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battleforge
21:04 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 there are afaik a few EA f2p games that were released before that
21:04 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 but I can't recall them from memory
21:04 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Also nintendo has made developing for DSi and Wiiu cheap and easy
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ the new pricing scheme gives the developer full power which you cannot get on xbox, ps network or IOs
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw can you actually get a Nintendo development kit without having a prior relationship with them?
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw I know at least with the Wii that was not the case
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ that is another killer right there. The patch fee you paid MS for xbox game updates
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ now yes
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 Battlefield Heroes, June 2009
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley joepie91: and in the view of the general public, the big one was farmville.
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw oh interesting
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ and it only costs what a high end desktop would cost
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 Smiley: that's irrelevant
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley oh I heard of that, never actually seen it tho.
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 the discussion was business
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 not general public
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 :p
21:05 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley joepie91: no, thats my entire point
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 <Smiley>it's like f2p
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 <Smiley>No one bothered for so long, then Zynga showed it can make some serious money
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 <Smiley>suddenly ALL THE GAMES!
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley it exploded into mainstream view with Zynga
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Linux is a threat to everyone now so they want their products on it
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley number before farmville = 6ish
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Number after farmville, OVER 9000
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 Smiley: 6ish? not even *close*
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley You forgot big ones like Runescape :D
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Gunbound.
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw I dunno if it's really a threat, I think Valve just helped make it fashionable
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw and software is one of the most fashion-frenzy industries ever
21:06 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 I'm not counting runescape because it uses a different model
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 no micro-transactions
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 (which is pretty unique in itself in the f2p world)
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Isn't there?
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw moreso than fashion, because at least fashion designers have some independent thought
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Oh ok. then ignore runescape.
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 Smiley: they've made a poor attempt at some pseudo-gambling game with micro-transactions, but it wasn't very well-received
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 and I expect it to be removed soon
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 they still primarily operate off the membership model
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley ah :D
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 as they should :P
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 oh
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 speaking of which
21:07 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 this is not very widely publicized yet afaik
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I got a crazy fun fact about PC gaming
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 but Runescape is going to be HTML5 + WebGL soon
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley i already heard that XD
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 with Java only as a fallback
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 apparently this summer
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley and the adverts the run here :/
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley eewww those adverts.
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Did you know that you can switch out the opengl.dll in Final Fantasy 7 PC edition with the mesa library and it ran on wine as soon as they released it
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley D: :D
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley shows how closely they match I guess
21:08 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley API wise?
21:09 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ It was possible because the game had both hardware and software opengl
21:09 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ it wasn't totally locked into DirectX
21:09 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley A\ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ N
21:09 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ You can build mesa and run it on windows still
21:09 ๐Ÿ”— yipdw Smiley: wtf
21:09 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley 75 2.1B9N58*
21:10 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ ร‚ยฐร‹ย–รขยœยงรขย—ย(รขยยฐรขย–ยฟรขยยฐ)รขย—ยœรขยœยงร‹ย–ร‚ยฐ
21:10 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ (\__/)
21:10 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ (รขย€ยขรฃย…ย…รขย€ยข)
21:10 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ a rabbit
21:11 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ The question now is what needs to be improved to have better gaming on linux
21:11 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ and it is probably pulse
21:12 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 not pulse
21:12 ๐Ÿ”— DFJustin 3d drivers
21:12 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 the graphic stack is still broken
21:12 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 god pulse
21:13 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 definitely pulse
21:13 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 unstable piece of ****
21:13 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ we need to get rid of OSS completely
21:13 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ and only have pulse w/ alsa mode
21:13 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ jack for the high end audio workstations
21:13 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 joepie91: ubuntu provide a buggy version of pulse
21:14 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ esound needs to die
21:14 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 esound is dead
21:14 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 since gnome 3.0
21:14 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley wtf is esound o_O
21:14 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley jackd, I need to play with jack more...
21:14 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ The Enlightenment sound daemon
21:14 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 the old software mixer used by gnome
21:15 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 since dmix still is buggy
21:15 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ gstreamer makes me angry. It makes sense but you have so fucking more setup work to do. They should have made a simple interface for most applications to use
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 phonon ?
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 nico_32: actually, pulseaudio itself is terrible
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ phonon is a wrapper over gstreamer
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 regardless of distro
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 I have no idea why, but it's terrible
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 random crackling
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 distortion
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 certain applications suddenly not playing any sound anymore
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 wtf
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— nico_32 never seen this
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ joepie91, I found if you fiddle with preamp it goes away on good cards
21:17 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 I've encountered or heard of people encountering it on many distros
21:17 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ the pulse I got now fixed the random audio breaks
21:17 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 omf_: >on good cards
21:17 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ it is smoother than esound ever was now
21:17 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 it shouldn't happen anywhere >.>
21:17 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I agree
21:17 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 ALSA didn't give these problems either
21:17 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 so clearly the cards are capable of working in a stable manner
21:17 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ ALSA couldn't play 2 sounds at once
21:17 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ that is why the guy built pulse
21:18 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Alsa replaced OSS because of licensing issues
21:18 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ So for a long time it was alsa + esound
21:18 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ then pulse fixed the multiple audio events at once but most applications were written like shit using the audio apis
21:19 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid <- oss fan
21:19 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid though pulse seems nice
21:19 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid so easy to route output to an input with it
21:19 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Pulse as of 2012 just started to get acceptable, also cause many of the shit apps got updated
21:20 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ Like amarok, mplayer, vlc
21:20 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ mplayer and vlc have excellent jack support as well
