3am brain has me thinking about janky bike stuff
<midfavila>
what if
<midfavila>
instead of a derailleur
<midfavila>
you just had two single speed drivetrains on the same bike
<midfavila>
there's this thing called the buffalo that has a unique freewheel that does something like that
<midfavila>
it has two cogs, two chainrings, and two chains
<midfavila>
and when you kick back, instead of engaging the freehub, it causes a little mechanism inside the freewheel to bounce between the two cogs, changing which drivetrain is actually in use
<midfavila>
it's pretty ingenious
<midfavila>
surly had a much less sophisticated solution for fixed-gear and track riders decades ago where they literally just glued two fixed-gear cogs together
<midfavila>
and took advantage of the idea that if you have zero change in the difference between cog a and chainring a, and cog b and chainring b, then you maintain constant chainwrap and thus tension without having to move the rear wheel or use an external tensioner
<midfavila>
of course, then you need to stop, dismount, and manually derail the chain, but that's kind of on-brand for surly
<midfavila>
thinking it could be interesting to try using the same principle on my bike. even if the hardware is different, assuming the chainline is correct, it should work...

hi midfavila

<kris_>
yay my bouncer broke again
<kris_>
too bad like every bouncer is garbo
<sad_plan>
just ssh into a server with a persistent tmux session instead
<sad_plan>
less complex
<kris_>
yeah im considering that
<kris_>
the problem with senpai is that it doesn't store client history
<kris_>
kind of just assumes you're always going to have soju
<sad_plan>
right. use an irc client instead which can store history. like weechat. which is what I currently use. its a lot more complex than Id like, but I just havent bothered to switch on the server tbh
<kris_>
yeah honestly weechat was a better experience
<kris_>
idk ill sort something out
<kris_>
i need to get my irc bouncer off of my hetzner vps anyway i don't trust them all that much
<sad_plan>
right. most clients are able to store history anyway, so take your pick really
<sad_plan>
right
<kris_>
i might just run it on my pi 3b+
<kris_>
it's not useful for very much else and draws like no power
<sad_plan>
do it
<kris_>
put mullvad infront of it and gg
<sad_plan>
sounds like a decent enough plan
<kris_>
it doesnt need to be exposed to the internet anyway because i can just wireguard into my house
<kris_>
and do if i'm not home
<midfavila>
kris_: use ii with tee and mtm
<midfavila>
and dtach
<midfavila>
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
<kris_>
or or or or or
<kris_>
more virtual machines
<kris_>
and just soju locally so i dont have to use the weirdo in-memory store
<kris_>
with my vps i have soju store messages in memory which also happens to mean there's no chathistory, it'll play it back only once
<kris_>
so if i close my client that history is gone

<sad_plan>
sounds like you misconfigured it
<kris_>
i think it's a result of using the memory database as opposed to on-disk
<kris_>
as far as ive gathered the memory db is kind of primitive
<sad_plan>
you shouldve used on-disk
<kris_>
i wanted it to be ephemeral because it isnt on my hardware
<kris_>
problem will be fixed soon
<sad_plan>
mount /home under /tmp
<kris_>
that's one hell of a solution
<kris_>
definitely is a good idea though actually
<sad_plan>
some people do that to avoid clutter. /home/$user is more or less just a tarball instead. obviously youd have to update it all the time though
<kris_>
anyway im not really seeking solutions just thinking out loud right now
<sad_plan>
sure. its not for me, but some people like it
<sad_plan>
yeah, I just wanted to throw it out there. as a possible workaround for your issue
<kris_>
soju *is* working it's just for some reason not replaying DMs to me
<kris_>
apparently people have been messaging me directly for months and ive just seen none of these messages
<kris_>
there are a few potential solutions to this i just need to play with infra
<kris_>
i've really overcomplicated everything
<sad_plan>
sounds like youre no better off than having no bouncer at all really :p
<sad_plan>
and yes, youre for sure overcomplicating things
<midfavila>
the average void minimalist versus the chad kiss maximalist
<sad_plan>
^
<kris_>
talking like that is only going to reinforce my take
<midfavila>

and void is unrelated to this stuff
<kris_>
its just moving around things on boxes that i have
<kris_>
the whole "one box one use" mentality that i held for like 12 years is no longer valid because i actually host things now

yeah this raspberry pi is just too slow to be useful for anything
<kris_>
just gonna stop making things harder than they need to be and make another vm on my big server
<kris_>
i'm being kind of a dumbass, stupid amount of resources on that and they're hardly used
<kris_>
one of these days ill get a newer pi for my local dns, i hate that i have it on such a powerful box and don't put anything else on it because i want it to auto-up on reboot, which means no crypt
