09:10:56 <amenonsen> stealing? you mean liberating! from all those tyrannical channel owners who are forcing poor innocent users to switch from freenode.
09:14:08 <Solid> amazing
09:16:35 <amenonsen> the freenode (web) front page even has a rant about it.
09:16:55 <amenonsen> how cancel culture is destroying poor freenode.
09:22:24 <mc47> facebook messenger ftw
09:56:57 <liskin> I should probably make an announcement on Twitter
09:57:05 <liskin> how do I not fuck it up?
09:58:12 <mc47> not sure if you can fuck it up
09:58:24 <mc47> people are already pretty mad about it

10:06:16 <Solid> nice!
10:07:18 <Solid> liskin: this is straight up a hostile takeover, I don't think you can fuck muhc up there
10:07:54 <Solid> If you want references I know that void ( https://voidlinux.org/news/2021/05/freenode-takeover.html ) gentoo ( https://www.gentoo.org/news/2021/05/26/gentoo-freenode-channels-hijacked.html ) have already made similar statements
10:08:45 <liskin> Solid: nice, the gentoo one is short and good
10:09:25 <amenonsen> hi liskin! you told me to harass you periodically about the ewmh window activation bug. ;-)
10:09:40 <niko> have a greate day
10:09:41 <amenonsen> (i'm crab, who wasn't in time to register that nick in the shuffle.)
10:09:53 niko parts (~if@libera/staff/niko) (https://libera.chat)
10:10:16 <amenonsen> cancel culture lost me eight of my legs
10:10:32 <liskin> amenonsen: hi :-)
10:11:22 <liskin> amenonsen: the most recent status of that bug is this: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/399#issuecomment-845882787
10:11:43 <liskin> tl;dr it's on my "today" task list
10:12:04 <liskin> which means it will not be done today, but it's in my working memory again
10:12:26 <amenonsen> great.
10:12:35 <liskin> if it weren't for this IRC drama, I may have gotten to it already :-/
10:12:40 <amenonsen> if you need someone to test/verify/whatever, i'm happy to try and help.
10:13:06 <liskin> good to know your current nickname then :-)

10:24:54 <Solid> huh, I just realized that, on the website, we are also linking to the cheatsheet that's hosted on the haskell wiki and not the one that's hosted on the website :)
10:27:18 <liskin> Solid: pls check that you can op yourself via chanserv
10:27:43 ChanServ sets mode +o Solid

11:16:21 <Solid> hah, that giant image of buster keaton really made me laugh
11:17:27 <fizzie> Seeing images/cheat/xmbindings.png in the diff of that attached commit was real confusing. "What, we've had a default key binding to join IRC all this time?" (Turns out it was much less exciting than that.)
11:17:58 <Solid> :D
11:19:46 <liskin> a default keybinding to join IRC seems like the 90s equivalent of those support chat widgets on websites like what Intercom does :-)
11:41:07 <amenonsen> what happened to geekosaur?
11:41:18 <amenonsen> is freenode holding them hostage?
11:44:13 <Solid> just doesn't have a bouncer ;)
11:45:41 <mc47> It's cool that the logs moved as well
11:45:57 <Solid> indeed

18:03:07 <liskin> geekosaur: not sure if you noticed, but freenode channels were hijacked this morning so I decided it's time to message the ircops directly and they dealt with our application in no time
18:03:22 <liskin> geekosaur: just added you as a founder to chanserv
18:03:52 <liskin> if anyone has any idea what cloaks we want I'm all ears
18:03:55 <geekosaur> yeh, I noticed the hijacking last night around midnight my time
18:04:07 <liskin> probably just @xmonad/developer/… ?
18:04:19 <geekosaur> I was planning to get a haskell cloak tbh, since I'm an op over there
18:04:43 <liskin> oh, okay :-)
18:05:03 <Solid> liskin: libera (on their website) suggests projectname/*
18:05:13 <Solid> which I think works fine
18:05:43 <liskin> we're probably small enough a community that cutting the middle level makes sense
18:05:44 <Solid> a haskell cloak is of course much more prestigious than a mere xmonad cloak :>
18:05:53 <liskin> is it?
18:07:21 <Solid> cloaks are usually only given to people affiliated with projects, so a haskell cloak would indicate (to me) affiliation with the language in some way
18:07:28 <Solid> sounds prestigious to me

18:18:37 <hi> I'm still getting the language problem, though I was able to set the locale. I'm also getting this error: error while loading shared libraries: libHSxmonad-contrib-0.16-KKfUmtIonstICqbgIKQKYh-ghc8.10.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
18:25:29 <geekosaur> arch? you may want to start over with stack, arch has a broken haskell package ecosystem
18:26:07 <Solid> these kins of reports are coming in more frequently
18:26:11 <Solid> I wonder what they broke this time
18:27:27 <geekosaur> there's a shortcoming in xmonad's recompilation detection: it detects changes in your config, but not in dependencies like xmonad-contrib
18:28:09 <geekosaur> this normally doesn't show up because xmonad is statically linked everywhere but on arch
18:28:26 <hi> yeah, I'm on manjaro
18:28:44 <hi> I did their stuff for xmonad, then tried building again with stack, but it looks like everything is still pointing to the old arch files
18:29:14 <Solid> we just had someone using arch doing a writeup on how to properly build with stack
18:29:55 <Solid> check out this issue https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/301
18:30:14 <Solid> and their resulting SO answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67710115/broken-xmonad-dependencies-after-pacman-update-how-to-compile-it-with-stack/67710116#67710116
18:30:28 <Solid> which should just be what's in INSTALL.md, but you never know

18:34:35 Server sets mode +cnt
19:07:57 <liskin> Solid: they didn't necessarily break anything new
19:08:04 <liskin> it's just the natural state of things
19:09:00 <liskin> distrotube talks about xmonad → lots of new people install xmonad (on arch, naturally, because demographics) → a few months pass and people's systems update → all those people come in complaining
19:10:00 <liskin> not implying that DT or those new people are to blame, our installation story and docs aren't perfect either
19:10:58 × matijja quits (~matijja@193.77.181.208) (Quit: bye)
19:13:10 <hi> I'm trying to do everything via stack but now it's telling me that ~/.local/share/xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
19:13:59 matijja joins (~matijja@193.77.181.208)
19:14:01 <liskin> hi: do you have a build script?
19:14:53 <Solid> liskin: I would expect arch users to update their system fairly often; why are these issues bunching up now?
19:14:56 <hi> yes
19:15:24 <geekosaur> because only now did someone change the xmonad package in such a way that the xmonad-contrib hash changed?
19:15:27 <hi> build script looks like https://github.com/slotThe/xmonad/blob/new-tutorial/INSTALL.md#tell-xmonad-how-to-recompile-itself
19:15:43 <liskin> Solid: I wouldn't know such details
19:15:47 <geekosaur> sorry, xmonad-contrib package
19:16:36 <geekosaur> the arch maintainer's been known to grab (sometimes older) git releases
19:17:01 <liskin> hi: that's a bit weird, xmonad does tell the buildscript where to place the result
19:18:00 <liskin> I should probably set up an "ordinary user's xmonad setup" somewhere cause otherwise I have no idea whether this stuff works or what it's supposed to look like :-/
19:18:38 <geekosaur> that's why I betaed the cabal instructions with my own config :)
19:18:40 <liskin> hi: does xmonad --recompile show any interesting output?
19:18:53 <hi> success is all
19:19:11 <hi> uses the right build script at the right location

19:48:00 <hi> ty. here's what happens when I stack install https://paste.tomsmeding.com/2LOuaCsv
19:48:28 <hi> they're the only errors that pop up in the process until I try to execute; build says it passes successfully
19:49:45 × hi quits (~hi@c-67-176-187-120.hsd1.il.comcast.net) (Quit: Connection closed)
19:49:48 <geekosaur> ok, those are mostly deprecation warnings, I think cleanups there are still pending in git. but I notice right at the end that it's copying to the wrong executable name, the buildscript should be overriding it
19:49:53 <geekosaur> …whoops
19:50:19 <liskin> is it though?
19:50:29 <liskin> that's just install of xmonad and -contrib
19:50:34 hi20 joins (~hi@c-67-176-187-120.hsd1.il.comcast.net)
19:51:44 <geekosaur> hm, that implies the buildscript is wrong, then
19:51:54 <geekosaur> or they're not running the buildscript
19:51:55 <liskin> does it?
19:51:59 <liskin> yep

19:54:53 <liskin> but there's no xmonad --recompile output in the paste
