[01:28] <diddledan> wat. win32 can do unix sockets now?! https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/12/19/af_unix-comes-to-windows/
[01:34] <diddledan> "And, if you are wondering, there is already support for unix socket within Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), how does that work with the Windows unix socket implementation? Well, currently, it doesn’t, but stay tuned! "

[03:04]  * daftykins eats cereal
[03:04] <daftykins> mmmm breakfast
[03:04]  * zmoylan-pi nibbles on pez...
[03:06] <daftykins> so those kernel changes don't seem to have reduced performance as dramatically as articles have sensationally claimed
[03:06] <daftykins> (as per Phoronix)
[03:07] <zmoylan-pi> we'll have to wait a few days for everyone to test their config on updated cpus. even a 5% drop will irk the crap out of a lot of people
[03:08] <daftykins> meh, then they're too sensitive :)
[03:08] <daftykins> yeah it wasn't tested against very many older gen things, where it's allegedly worse
[03:09] <zmoylan-pi> what's the worst a few basement living hypersensitive trolls can do? :-P
[03:14] <zmoylan-pi> it'll be interesting to see how the pc gaming community over reacts, when every last % counts to fps...
[03:15] <daftykins> already seen negligible change there too, but yeah already seen some idiots worrying about losing 30% ;)
[03:25] <zmoylan-pi> won't someone think of the bitcoin miners.... :-P
[03:25] <daftykins> not even once :D
[03:34] <zmoylan-pi> or all those java/javascript developers who'll now have to optimise their code... :-P
[09:21] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:24] <zleap> hi
[09:28] <brobostigon> hi
[09:30] <zleap> how are things
[09:34] <brobostigon> a raginf cold.
[09:34] <brobostigon> a raging cold.
[09:37] <zleap> not good
[09:40] <brobostigon> definitly not good.
[09:43] <foobarry> java9 made one userse code run 10x faster
[09:43] <foobarry> thats the fix :P
[10:54] <daftykins> xD
[10:54] <daftykins> foobarry: a good kind of 10x faster? :)
[10:54] <daftykins> my my IRC is quiet today
[11:01] <Laney> HELLO
[11:01]  * Laney YELLS
[11:12] <daftykins> Laney: :D
[12:03] <foobarry> yes a good kind.
[12:03] <daftykins> hurrah
[13:44] <obiwan> ~heya
[13:44] <obiwan> there

[16:13] <ChunkzZ> O_o
[16:13] <ali1234> its just the tip of the iceberg i think
[16:16] <zleap> i did read that you may have to disable anti virus for the patch to be installed,
[19:07] <diddledan> I love xkcd: https://twitter.com/xkcdComic/status/949346844466819072

[19:38] <m0nkey_> You know what one of the fixes were?
[19:38] <m0nkey_> Buy a new CPU
[19:38] <diddledan> makes sense. buy an AMD
[19:38] <m0nkey_> F**k that
[19:38] <m0nkey_> ^^
[19:38] <m0nkey_> exactly
[19:38] <m0nkey_> Next build will be an AMD
[19:39] <m0nkey_> Until their next screwup
[19:39] <m0nkey_> Then I go ARM
[19:42] <zmoylan-pi> give me zilog or give me death \o/ :-D
[19:44] <diddledan> aye, making your own with an FPGA actually sounds like a good idea

[19:46] <zmoylan-pi> THIS IS IRC =^..^=
[22:36]  * zmoylan-pi dials smug to 11... :-) https://liliputing.com/2018/01/know-whats-not-affected-meltdown-spectre-raspberry-pi.html
[22:54] <ali1234> wait hang on a minute
[22:54] <ali1234> that article says the pi is not vulnerable because it uses cortex A7, then it says cortex A7 is vulnerable
[22:56] <ali1234> haha its a typo
[22:56] <ali1234> it should say A17 is vulnerable
[22:57] <ali1234> they say their stuff isn't vulnerable but the exploit is so simple that i bet we'll see many new variants throughout this year affecting multiple different CPU arch
[23:43] <zmoylan-pi> tbh if the pi lost .01% performance due to a patch it would be serious :-)
