< ErikMesoy>
I have a sentence reading "foo bar: the bazzening of baz". This sentence turns up in a local search for 'foo bar baz'. This sentence does NOT turn up in a local search for 'foo baz'. In fact, a search for 'foo baz' claims there are 0 results. Goddamned magic bullshit opaque computer functionality.
00:23
< ErikMesoy>
search finding sentences which contain my search terms? nah, can't have that
00:24
< ErikMesoy>
I do not recall whether I have ranted on this before, but I definitely feel in a rant mood now.
00:25
< ErikMesoy>
I've tried with multiple three-word combinations of foo, baz, and some other rare-to-unique word in the same paragraph. I see no obvious pattern to which combinations turn up the paragraph, and which combinations give '0 results' when I can see the word right there in the paragraph.
00:26
< ErikMesoy>
This is not a proper search functionality. This is MAGIC in a very derogatory sense of the word, i.e. "Memorize the right magic phrase to chant if you want things to happen" rather than understanding patterns or expecting consistency.
00:26
< ErikMesoy>
I'm pretty sure computers are not really magic, but sometimes, this kind of randomly dysfunctional shit makes me wonder.
00:36 * ErikMesoy prods the search engine more, gets more enraged.
00:37
< ErikMesoy>
I am tempted to blame hostile action here, but hostile against whom?
00:39
< ErikMesoy>
It does not appear to be a function of word order entered in the search, nor is it simply discarding common words.
00:40
< ErikMesoy>
It is not the search engine breaking down entirely, because sometimes it will find only 1 result out of 2 that I know are there.
00:41
< ErikMesoy>
Search works across text-formatting boundaries like bold and italic.
00:42
< ErikMesoy>
But sometimes it will mysteriously fail to find a sentence when I search for sentences containing two words and I know exactly one sentence contains these two words.
00:43
< ErikMesoy>
This is consistently inconsistent: it keeps making the same mistakes with no clear pattern or reason.
00:44
< ErikMesoy>
Rebooting the app has not helped.
00:45
< ErikMesoy>
I know the sentence is indexed, because it turns up in a search for two OTHER words in that sentence, so it's not even a question of number of search terms...
00:49
< ErikMesoy>
Why is finding words in a sentence seemingly beyond the capability of billion-dollar software in Current Year?

<&jerith>
I would just like to note https://github.com/kubernetes/kubectl/issues/852 for anyone using kubernetes.
18:59
<&jerith>
That is a bug report for kubectl 1.18.0 (the latest release, IIRC) which causes `kubectl diff` to silently also act like `kubectl apply`.
19:00 * TheWatcher golfclaps
19:03
<&jerith>
I am extremely angry that this made it all the way to release, but I'm not at all surprised.
19:04
<&jerith>
kubernetes is, after all, written in a language that is highly resistant to effective design principles and automated testing.
20:29
<&ToxicFrog>
I've figured out how to remote control ultrasonic on durandal and it's disgusting
20:30
<&ToxicFrog>
On durandal, I run a bash loop that polls the contents of a file in my homedir and, based on that, emits keystrokes to the player running in chrome
20:30
<&ToxicFrog>
Then I can ssh into it from other machines and write to that file to control the player
20:30
<&ToxicFrog>
(the reason for this is that Durandal has the good speakers, but when I'm WFH does not have a keyboard, mouse, or monitor)
20:38
<~Vornicus>
what the fuck is ultrasonic that this is considered a sensible idea
20:38
<~Vornicus>
because that's monstrous
21:47
<&VirusJTG>
no less onsterous than controling a linux Kubernettes cluster running in VMware ESXi, hooked into NSX-T for network virtualization fromn a windows install
21:47
<&ToxicFrog>
Vornicus: it's a music server.
21:47
<&ToxicFrog>
Self-hosted Google Play Music/Spotify/etc sort of thing.
21:49
<&ToxicFrog>
Has an integrated web-based player, although I believe you can also use it as a source for DLNA and whatnot.
21:49
<&VirusJTG>
I should tinker with that
21:49
<&ToxicFrog>
However, it has no API for "I am on computer A, and I want to control the web player running on computer B, which is headless"
21:50
<&ToxicFrog>
(it has a "jukebox mode" which does allow for remote control, but that's for "the airsonic server is running on the computer with the speakers attached to it")
21:51
<&ToxicFrog>
VirusJTG: point of clarification: "ultrasonic" is the client I use on my phone. "airsonic" is the actual server software. "subsonic" is the API and the original server (and I believe there are other forks of it like libresonic)
21:51
<&ToxicFrog>
I tend to use all three terms interchangeably when not paying attention.
21:53 * VirusJTG nods
21:53
<&VirusJTG>
that makes me assume my situation is more monsterous
21:53
<&ToxicFrog>
Oh?
21:55
<&VirusJTG>
I'm having to cobble together multiple, not exactly liking each other compnents
21:55
<&VirusJTG>
current issue is helm charts won't exicute against the clusters due to a missing cert on the windows side. Fortunetly its still in POC phase
21:56
<&VirusJTG>
So, I have time
21:56
<&VirusJTG>
we are trying to modernize a monelithic application into a container based system
21:56
<&VirusJTG>
so, the battle is on multiple fronts
21:56
<&VirusJTG>
its about 80% working currently
21:57
<&VirusJTG>
the other 20% is still manual
21:57
<&VirusJTG>
it will invovle, powershell, bash, and perl all calling each other I think
21:58
<&VirusJTG>
dev ops wants to deploy a new environment by "clicking a button"
21:58
<&VirusJTG>
our directive is "make it happen"
21:58
<&VirusJTG>
then there is the issue of the CI/CD being azure dev ops, but the express oute install was botched by the telco
21:59
<&VirusJTG>
they litterally installed routers with out the internet connection
21:59
<&VirusJTG>
so the order has to be redune
21:59
<&VirusJTG>
in the mean time there is a legacy VPN, that doesn't route to the kubernetes subnet
21:59
<&VirusJTG>
so a machine in the middle will be required
21:59
<&VirusJTG>
we can't modify the VPN becuase microsft is pushing every one to express routes and is no longer supporting their modifications

22:22
<&[R]>
ToxicFrog: why not mpd?
22:24
<&ToxicFrog>
[R]: historically my attempts to get web clients working usefully with mpd have best been described as "tragic"
22:25
<&ToxicFrog>
With airsonic the web client is the entire point and is thus built in
22:25
<&ToxicFrog>
It also has some other features that are useful to me, like automatic podcast polling and the ability to add multiple, separate libraries and then give each user account access to a different set of libraries.
22:26
<&[R]>
Ah
