2023-07-05 05:17:29 <veltas      > KipIngram: Yeah at work I'm literally just using the built-in command-prompt-style console for WSL
2023-07-05 05:17:45 <veltas      > It works well enough, it's built in, it's faster than Windows Terminal as far as I can tell
2023-07-05 05:17:53 <veltas      > I don't know about faster but it's lighter
2023-07-05 05:18:07 <veltas      > It's not that good, mintty is probably better
2023-07-05 08:46:49 <KipIngram   > I use terminator, but I think from time to time of changing to kitty.
2023-07-05 08:47:49 <KipIngram   > On my work Mac I use iTerm2
2023-07-05 10:34:23 <KipIngram   > In case anyone is interested, I just worked up this .tmux.conf file:
2023-07-05 10:34:25 <KipIngram   > https://pastebin.com/bUWYbKcK
2023-07-05 10:34:42 <KipIngram   > It causes the tmux status line to look like the screen status line, in terms of colors at least.
2023-07-05 10:34:49 <KipIngram   > I think the screen line is prettier.
2023-07-05 10:34:58 <KipIngram   > The default tmux status line is kind of garish.
2023-07-05 10:35:16 <KipIngram   > It also remap's tmux's ctrl-b to ctrl-a, which I find a lot easier to use.
2023-07-05 10:37:33 <KipIngram   > Oh, what would be the host name is hard coded to "oracle" here.
2023-07-05 10:37:47 <KipIngram   > My vm's host name is ridiculously long - I don't want that on the status line.
2023-07-05 10:39:34 <thrig       > 9517c54a2c76492d82aa3863810eef9f is a perfectly cromulent hostname
2023-07-05 10:40:35 <KipIngram   > I took a screenshot of my screen window and used the Gimp to identify the colors.
2023-07-05 10:41:02 <KipIngram   > I think my screen status line is using high-intensity, though, and I haven't figured out how to get tmux to do that.
2023-07-05 10:41:13 <thrig       > bold is a thing
2023-07-05 10:41:31 <thrig       > fg=yellow,bold blah blah
2023-07-05 10:51:27 <KipIngram   > Ah, indeed.  Thanks.
2023-07-05 10:57:45 <KipIngram   > Also, I HATE having screen or tmux rename my windows on me every time I change directories or launch some program.
2023-07-05 10:57:55 <KipIngram   > I want to name my windows and have them stay named.
2023-07-05 10:59:01 <KipIngram   > At work I usually make that name indicate the test stand and the drive, like it might be "cab41-98" which indicates that the stand is cabaro2-41 and the drive is at PCI address 0000:98:00.0.
2023-07-05 11:09:50 <thrig       > cd is done by the shell, so tmux knows diddly about that
2023-07-05 11:12:07 <KipIngram   > Yeah, I think I was thinking of something else re: that part.
2023-07-05 11:12:30 <thrig       > probably the shell has some hook on chdir or the other
2023-07-05 11:12:34 <KipIngram   > I've had to change some of the setup defining the environment variable PS1 on some systems, to keep my prompt from blowing up into something that gobbled up half the screen.
2023-07-05 11:12:39 <thrig       > or maybe it's in the prompt config
2023-07-05 11:12:44 <KipIngram   > ^^ that.
2023-07-05 11:13:05 <KipIngram   > Similar sort of aggravation.
2023-07-05 11:16:14 <thrig       > what is going on probably involves https://www.invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html
2023-07-05 11:27:46 <KipIngram   > I think I usually change something to do with PROMPT_COMMAND in /etc/bashrc.
2023-07-05 11:27:52 <KipIngram   > Just defeat some bit of fancy stuff.
2023-07-05 11:50:41 <MrMobius    > TMUX is awesome
2023-07-05 11:52:21 <MrMobius    > I made a C program that reads in a text file specifying what I want to run in TMUX in what window and what to rename everything to with a shebang at the top so I can run the text file
2023-07-05 11:52:47 <MrMobius    > since some projects always have the same 8 or so windows open plus whatever else
2023-07-05 11:59:15 <KipIngram   > Yeah.  I had something similar that would start tmux windows for each drive in a stand.
2023-07-05 11:59:37 <KipIngram   > I found, though, that how I started those processes influenced the extent to which the tests affected one another (which is undesirable).
2023-07-05 12:00:11 <KipIngram   > Turned out starting them from another machine using ssh: ssh user@host "nohup <start process>" worked better.
2023-07-05 12:00:28 <KipIngram   > If I started them from a shared login session, they interacted more.
2023-07-05 12:00:48 <KipIngram   > I didn't try to research exactly the cause, but I'm now doing it in a way such they don't share a parent process or anything like that.
2023-07-05 12:01:10 <KipIngram   > This didn't have to do with core assignments - they were assigned to different cores in all cases anyway.
2023-07-05 12:01:37 <KipIngram   > Maybe something to do with how the scheduler works in this particular Linux.
2023-07-05 12:02:01 <KipIngram   > Maybe it tries not to let one parent "dominate" too many resources or something.
2023-07-05 12:02:35 <KipIngram   > Anyway, it was only a "semi-scientific" process.  I just found something that worked and settled on it.
2023-07-05 12:02:46 <KipIngram   > Turning off Intel Turbo Boost also helped.
2023-07-05 12:03:01 <KipIngram   > I think Turbo Boost allowed the hardware to sneak around my core assignments to some extent.
2023-07-05 12:08:35 <veltas      > You are all using a much bigger screen than me if you have 8 windows open
2023-07-05 12:08:55 <veltas      > I very very rarely use tmux for the stated purpose of multiplexing a terminal
2023-07-05 12:10:07 <MrMobius    > 8 windows open but only viewing one at a time
2023-07-05 12:13:32 <KipIngram   > My screen is a 13" notebook screen.
2023-07-05 12:13:50 <KipIngram   > But I don't mean eight windows visible at once - I mean eight that I can switch around amont.
2023-07-05 12:13:56 <KipIngram   > Though I do also split my screen.
2023-07-05 12:15:49 <KipIngram   > Here's what my notebook screen looks like right now:

2023-07-05 12:16:43 <KipIngram   > No reminders today.
2023-07-05 12:18:29 <KipIngram   > Everything at the top or on the right are remote connections, via mosh.  The other stuff is local.

ACTION is reading https://spectrum.ieee.org/your-navigation-app-is-making-traffic-unmanageable and has a rather devious idea.

2023-07-05 13:06:59 <Zarutian_iPad> these apps can be run in android emulators. Those emulators can be fed fake GPS data. That is, NEMA strings (or whatever the acronym was)
2023-07-05 13:09:58 <Zarutian_iPad> so, an service that one could pay for to ensure ones prefered route is as uncongested of these app users as practically possible.
2023-07-05 17:00:30 <veltas      > I think they should adopt game theory in google maps, so many people use it that they'd probably get better results with a random/seeded component
2023-07-05 17:01:30 <veltas      > There are some pathalogical situations with google maps I notice on my work route, specifically there's a redirect it often suggests which is *always* much slower, but always shows as like 8 minutes faster
