* chainsawbike needs to make more noise so he is considered "active enough" to vote :(07:34
DocScrutinizer05eh?07:35
DocScrutinizer05when "more noise" means some posts and ideally thanks on TMO then yes07:36
DocScrutinizer05when "more noise" means some wiki edits then yes07:36
DocScrutinizer05when "more noise" means creating a garage account and sending a mail to council to accept the fact that 3 months quarantine have successfully been passed then DEFINITELY yes07:38
DocScrutinizer05but I'm sure for next election term, in 6 months, you will not have to bother about the mail thing at least07:39
DocScrutinizer05well, 113 voters is not bad at all07:40
DocScrutinizer05from a certain PoV07:41
DocScrutinizer05it IS bad considering we sent out >6000 ballots07:41
DocScrutinizer05poor polling: 2%07:42
DocScrutinizer05considering we have 6000 out of 83000 garage users eligible to vote, that's even more depressing07:44
chainsawbikenow there is 83001 :P07:47

DocScrutinizer05GeneralAntilles: congrats10:09
DocScrutinizer05GeneralAntilles: were you involved, or do you at least understand the vote counting process?10:09
DocScrutinizer05if we have 2 out of 4 vote, and ballots a,d  a,d  a,d  b,a  b,d  c,d - will the winners be a,b or a,d ?10:12
DocScrutinizer05I'm afraid all but #1 votes are completely meaningless10:14
DocScrutinizer05and result of above vote will be a,b10:14
DocScrutinizer05which is kinda completely flawed and also misleading and counterintuitive10:15

DocScrutinizer05IMHO after election of one candidate that candidate should get eliminated from candidates list and get scrapped from all ballots, and then a new counting gets started with the remaining candidates and all the modified ballots10:20
DocScrutinizer05so after election of 'a' in above example, the list of remaining candidates is b,c,d and the modified ballot batch is  -,d  -,d  -,d  b,-  b,d  c,d.  HMM for this to make sense we need to count #1 *and* #2 from each ballot during counting #210:24
DocScrutinizer05and consequently #1..#N for counting for candidate #N10:25
DocScrutinizer05this "single transferable vote" system is completely inappropriate in my book - if I even understood how it works10:27
DocScrutinizer05and particularly our voting web interface is completely inappropriate for single transferable vote system10:28
DocScrutinizer05when *always* only first vote counts, then the voting interface MUST NOT allow multiple votes on a single ballot10:29
DocScrutinizer05since this is almost cheating on electorate10:30
DocScrutinizer05if e.g. *I* was aware of what I seem to know _now_, I most likely had voted different in all past votes10:31
DocScrutinizer05if we have 3(!) out of 4 vote, and ballots a,d  a,d  a,d  b,a  b,d  c,d - will the winners be  a,b,c  or  a,d,b  ?10:36
DocScrutinizer05GeneralAntilles: you may copy this ^^^ to next MWKN10:38
DocScrutinizer05I'm suggesting to discuss a possible change in election counting algo and eventual referendum to implement a more intuitive such algo10:45
*** Superpelican has joined #maemo10:48

DocScrutinizer05HAH10:49
DocScrutinizer05if we have 3 out of 4 vote, and ballots a,d  a,d  a,d  a,c  a,d  a,d - how will that single transferable vote counting look like?10:51
DocScrutinizer05and how if in same example we have a 2 out of 4?10:51

*** NIN101 has joined #maemo11:00
DocScrutinizer05hmm, maybe forget about all that above, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote at least suggests that transfer of surplus votes is >>is transferred to other candidates according to the voter's stated preferences<<11:12
DocScrutinizer05yet to find out how exactly that transfer according to voter's preferences happens11:13

*** bef0rd has joined #maemo11:22
DocScrutinizer05sorry for the noise, I'm short on caffeine ;-D  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote#Example finally was simple enough so even I was able to grok it. My above concerns are without sound base11:25

fw190congrats to new BoD ;)11:31
kerioso is it finally over?11:31
fw190I saw the voting chart - someone made a mistake and voted for me11:31
fw190kerio: it seems that the struggle is over11:31
kerioyay for no more patent lawyers in our BoD!11:33
kerio^_^11:33
fw190well I'm somehow afraid that11:34
fw190someone will pop out with a paragraph11:34
fw190that the election is not valid11:34
fw190end of paranoid mode :P11:35
*** Superpelican has quit IRC11:37
*** Vlad_on_the_road has joined #maemo11:39
*** futpib has joined #maemo11:42
DocScrutinizer05nope, not likely to happen11:42
DocScrutinizer05there might be arguments that while we have new BoD members elected now, there's nothing stating clearly that old members have to step down now. But no worries, I'm sure the new members know how to handle such case11:44
*** eMHa has quit IRC11:44
DocScrutinizer05fw190: cong^Hsorry for you losing the elections :-)11:45
DocScrutinizer05fw190: and damn sute a big thank you for running11:46
DocScrutinizer05sure*11:46
DocScrutinizer05you faciliated a BoD of 511:47
*** odin_ has quit IRC11:47
fw190DocScrutinizer05: now as I got one vote I wonder what can I do to help BoD - maybe there will be a simple task which I can do11:49
*** triggerhappy has joined #maemo11:49
fw190I can not belie that one voter11:49
DocScrutinizer05I'm sure the other guys will appreciate your offer and find sth for you11:50
fw190splendid11:50
DocScrutinizer05btw you for sure got more than one vote11:51
DocScrutinizer05but that friggin STV algo doesn't consider anything lower than #1 vote until the #1 vote of that ballot got elected or kicked out11:52
DocScrutinizer05I think we should discuss this STV thing and maybe find sth more intuitive and fair11:52
*** eijk has joined #maemo11:53
fw190one way or the other I think that the future looks more optimistic right now11:53
DocScrutinizer05yep \o/11:53
DocScrutinizer055th ballot has you on #3, 7th on #4, 9th on #5 a.s.o11:55
DocScrutinizer05alas with STV hardly anything but #1 and #2 counts ever11:55
DocScrutinizer05so even if all voters would place you on #3 of their ballot, you probably wouldn't make it into elected crew11:56
DocScrutinizer05[2013-06-29 09:20:18] <DocScrutinizer05> IMHO after election of one candidate that candidate should get eliminated from candidates list and get scrapped from all ballots, and then a new counting gets started with the remaining candidates and all the modified ballots11:58
DocScrutinizer05[2013-06-29 09:24:25] <DocScrutinizer05> so after election of 'a' in above example, the list of remaining candidates is b,c,d and the modified ballot batch is  -,d  -,d  -,d  b,-  b,d  c,d.  HMM for this to make sense we need to count #1 *and* #2 from each ballot during counting #211:58

*** Milhouse has quit IRC11:59
DocScrutinizer05you have to admit at very least that algo was more understandable than that friggin STV12:00
*** odin_ has joined #maemo12:00
DocScrutinizer05you could even simplify that: count all votes from #1 to #5 (so 5 votes per ballot), then pick the 5 candidates with highest number of votes12:01
DocScrutinizer05ultrasimple, ultraclean, and IMHO more fair12:02
*** jon_y has joined #maemo12:03
*** Martix_ has joined #maemo12:04
*** triggerhappy has quit IRC12:05
DocScrutinizer05aiui in this election only the #2 votes of those who voted for woody, andrew, or ryan are considered at all. all the other voters' ballots count only for their #1 vote12:07
DocScrutinizer05since hardly anybody placed you on #1 or #2 even, you dropped completely out of the picture12:08
*** Mr_Stupid has joined #maemo12:12
*** Pilke has joined #maemo12:13
DocScrutinizer05could *anybody* explain THAT http://maemo.org/vote/blt.php?election_id=32 gibberish to me, please?12:13
*** Milhouse has joined #maemo12:13
*** trumee_ has quit IRC12:15
DocScrutinizer05incredibly obfuscated crap12:16
*** croppa has quit IRC12:18
*** trumee has joined #maemo12:19
fw190Doc I just steeped out so we could have 4 and vote so I'm not interested in the number of votes ;)12:20
*** croppa has joined #maemo12:20
DocScrutinizer05hmm, seems first col (A) is bogus, cols 2/B to 7/G contain the candidates one ballot per row, and last col is always 0 for whatever termination reasons12:21
*** sunny_s has joined #maemo12:23
DocScrutinizer05also the voting machine states >>Ballot file contains 6 candidates and 113 ballots.<< but I clearly see 114 ballots in the CSV download12:24
DocScrutinizer05one-off origon-0 error?12:25
DocScrutinizer05origin even12:25
DocScrutinizer05fw190: but I'm interested in how that crap actually works, and I have to say I'm not amused about the way it obviously does12:27
*** jon_y has quit IRC12:28
*** futpib_ has joined #maemo12:31
fw190DocScrutinizer05: well you have a point but this is the smallest of our small problems ;)12:31
*** futpib has quit IRC12:32
DocScrutinizer05fw190: I kinda gave up on assigning magnitueds to problems12:33
DocScrutinizer05I have just 3 classes of problems here: showstoppers, big big problems, other stuff12:34
DocScrutinizer05clearly this one is of category "other stuff"12:34
DocScrutinizer05and it's in huge company there12:35
*** Pilke has quit IRC12:35
Mr_Stupidmerlin1991: can you please bless https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/extras-cauldron-builds/2013-June/118298.html for me?12:35
DocScrutinizer05^^^ is one of category "big big problems" :-/12:36
Mr_StupidOorgle?12:37
DocScrutinizer05uh?12:37
Mr_StupidWhat's the big big problem?12:38
DocScrutinizer05the fux0red autobuilder/repo-mgmt12:38
DocScrutinizer05or particularly >>ERROR running /etc/buildme.d/check_build: Unknown user.(root)<< I guess12:38
*** OkropNick has joined #maemo12:38
*** NeutrinoPower has joined #maemo12:40
DocScrutinizer05and in first derivative the fact that merlin1991 doesn't report in ##maemo-admin about his actions he's doing regarding and related to this12:42
*** jon_y has joined #maemo12:44
DocScrutinizer05so I have no clue what's currently the recommended procedure to "bless", not what's the root problem, nor what's the suggested solution and what is actually about to be done. Nor has any other of the maintainers and sysops12:44
DocScrutinizer05except merlin199112:45
Mr_StupidYeah, i'll just wait for merlin1991 to show up. He made it work yesterday12:45
DocScrutinizer05all that sums up for this one to make it to category "big big problem"12:46
DocScrutinizer05lately I had more showstoppers though12:46
DocScrutinizer05like vcs VM apache SSL creating >100MB logs per day, which filled our storage and brought everything to a grinding halt12:47
DocScrutinizer05or the garage-sync job which suddenly stopped working due to user admin magically got fsckdup12:50

GeneralAntillesDocScrutinizer05, I read it at the time, but didn't really understand it particularly well.15:52
DocScrutinizer05it's a nightmare15:52
DocScrutinizer05bottom line from my side 2 lines up ^^^15:52
DocScrutinizer05even wikipedia and STV website mention known problems with STV15:53
DocScrutinizer05particularly for low numbers of ballots and/or very low or very high number of candidates15:54
DocScrutinizer05and calculation of double-transferred votes is a nightmare of its ofn category15:55
DocScrutinizer05own*15:55
DocScrutinizer05and the whole concept seems to discriminate those who placed "losers" on #1 of their ballots15:56
DocScrutinizer05while voting with the mainstream gets rewarded by offering you "a second vote"15:57
DocScrutinizer05and I completely fail to see why we'd need that overly complicated and obfuscated algo for vote counting15:58
*** e-yes has quit IRC16:00
DocScrutinizer05GeneralAntilles: aah, and congratulations! :-)16:00
DocScrutinizer05I think these been some of the best elections we ever had, when looking at the results16:01
DocScrutinizer05I'm positively surprised how many votes jaffa gathered16:02
DocScrutinizer05already pondered if that's worth a master thesis, what determines the number of votes a certain person can achieve16:03
DocScrutinizer05I mean, jaffa for sure earns it, but I'm surprised how many community members actually knew that, given the relatively sparese activity of jaffa during last several months16:04
DocScrutinizer05so I wonder if majority of electorate are old school members who still remember "the good times", or if it just been our appropriately euphoric welcome to jaffa that pushed him16:05
DocScrutinizer05or was it his introduction?16:06

GeneralAntillesI was pulling for RRV when the debates were going on.16:20
DocScrutinizer05I don't even feel like checking what's RRV in wikipedia now. Another 60min of reading to understand that I probably didn't want to learn about it16:22
DocScrutinizer05what's wrong with "N votes per electorate member for a body of N, then pick the 5 guys with the most votes"?16:23
DocScrutinizer05we *might* augment that for "each vote not assigned is a vote for a virtual candidate <nobody> that can get elected"16:24
GeneralAntillesReweighted Range Voting16:25
GeneralAntilles0-100 for each candidate16:25
DocScrutinizer05might make sense for a body with hierarchy16:26
DocScrutinizer05which we don't have16:26
DocScrutinizer05I'm pretty much for a "YAY or NAY" black or white vote. either you think some candidate is the right one for a body, or you don't wnat to see him / her in the body16:28
GeneralAntillesRRV lets voters describe their full preference.16:29
*** sunny_s has joined #maemo16:30
DocScrutinizer05with amendment/augment <nobody> you even can vote out candidates resulting in a list of >6 candidates not necessarily giving a council body of 5 but maybe only 316:30
DocScrutinizer05whatever, seems to me both concepts >> STV16:32
DocScrutinizer05not that it would've changed any of the last 3 or 4 or 5 elections in any way16:33

eddyb9did I have any weird repos before?17:15
GeneralAntillesSTV was chosen mostly on the basis of less voter confusion and simpler algorithms compared to RRV17:15
eddyb9there's no aptitude and no *utils* at all17:15
GeneralAntillesRRV strikes me as much more intuitive.17:15
Drathirhi all, maybe someone know what causing that error when import private gpg key https://gist.github.com/drathir/5891221 isnt a bug in maemo gpg?17:15
GeneralAntilleseddyb9, apt-cache search17:16
eddyb9GeneralAntilles: oh wow. thanks17:16
Shapeshi1terI've been having trouble with bad battery life and a hot phone for a while now and was"mt able to figure out what process caused the problems. I have since discovered that I get very good battery life when disabling cellular internet. On wifi it can easily last all day. When enabling cell internet (2.5G only, no 3G), it gets hot very quickly and drains the battry in a matter of hours. I only check mail and use 1 jabber and 1 SIP account. ...17:18
Shapeshi1ter... Any ideas how to diagnose what is wrong with the cell internet?17:18
ShadowJKwell, disable those 3 one by one17:19
Sicelothis SIP account is not 'Skype' perhaps?17:19
ShadowJKirc on 2.5g (and 3g) in poor signal (anyhing less than full bars) drains my batt fast too17:20
DocScrutinizer05GeneralAntilles: indeed STV is absolutely counterintuitive and almost cheating on those who vote17:20
ShadowJKbut in good signal, 2.5g irc lasts two days17:20
DocScrutinizer05eddyb9: HAM has to be so slow to teach you some ZEN ;-D17:21
eddyb9hi17:21
eddyb9what's up, doc?17:22
*** Pali has joined #maemo17:22
DocScrutinizer05Shapeshi1ter: make sure you get no unsolicited inbound packets17:22
DocScrutinizer05like pinggs17:22
DrathirShapeshi1ter: its normal i think the same to my device...17:23
Shapeshi1terSicelo: no, skype is a bad drainer in my experience. I never had problems with the other protocols.17:23
GeneralAntillesWe could probably start another discussion about changing if we got buy-in from a maintainer to deal with the voting software.17:23
DocScrutinizer05:nod:17:23
DocScrutinizer05which is Woody14619 ;-)17:24
eddyb9wtf, does busybox contain binutils?17:24
Drathirbtw mail is checked by periods and jabber keeding a session to not be dead...17:24
GeneralAntillesSeems like we should figure out how to do binary votes again, too.17:24
DocScrutinizer05Shapeshi1ter: I recommend tschark17:25
DocScrutinizer05tshark even17:25
DocScrutinizer05Shapeshi1ter: anyway I blame your carrier for sending inbound traffic. Probably you're not protected by a NAT17:26
eddyb9DocScrutinizer05: what's busybox-symlinks-binutils for?17:26
Shapeshi1terI'll try that. Maybe modest is fucking up. I see connections to 1n100.com even though I'm not online in gtalk...17:27
DocScrutinizer05eddyb9: for messybox' binutils, I guess17:27
Shapeshi1terDocScrutinizer05: could be... I also see traffic from cache05.sunsrise.ch which is my provider...17:27
Shapeshi1ter*sunrise17:27
DocScrutinizer05check for inbound unsolicited traffic17:28
eddyb9DocScrutinizer05: but how do binutils fit in there!?17:28
DocScrutinizer05eddyb9: I don't get your question17:28
eddyb9binutils are pretty big17:28
eddyb9how/why did they put them in busybox17:28
DocScrutinizer05except maybe, you're confusing messybox-genuine with messybox-power related stuff17:28
kerioby halfassing, it17:29
DocScrutinizer05don't ask me about messybox17:29
DocScrutinizer05I'm not a known fan of it17:29
DrathirShapeshi1ter: transparent proxy maybe from isp?17:30
eddyb9me neither, I just saw that and I was baffled17:30
DocScrutinizer05saw it where?17:30
eddyb9in the search for "utils"17:30
DocScrutinizer05meh, that doesn't mean you got it installed17:30
DocScrutinizer05I used gnu-utils for a long time without much trouble, until procps caused conflicts with base busybox17:31
DocScrutinizer05I still use all that, but now my installation is fux0red to the degree where no normal cssu-t upgrades possible17:32
eddyb9and apt-cache doesn't tell you if something is installed already, so that's a bit annoying17:32
DocScrutinizer05err yep, dpkg -*(lL?) does17:33
DocScrutinizer05or dpkg -s or sth17:33
Drathireddyb9: that not a pacman ^^17:33

DocScrutinizer05and yeah actually it does17:33
Siceloapt-cache policy 'package'17:34
eddyb9DocScrutinizer05: I reacted to the binutils thing because it implies that busybox has binutils in it. doesn't matter which *box, it still sounds ridiculous to me17:34

eddyb9that implies busybox contains all of binutils in its main binary17:39
DocScrutinizer05well, you can test that via "busybox <cmd>"17:40

* Drathir missing zsh on maemo :/17:49
eddyb9I'm contemplating trying this on my N900 http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:BeagleBoard17:49
* DocScrutinizer05 waves and tries to head out and get some breakfast17:50
eddyb9I'm expecting no acceleration and maybe broken wifi17:50
eddyb9but the SoC is almost the same17:50
DrathirDocScrutinizer05: shortly lets kidnap the fridge? :p17:51
DocScrutinizer05alas the gnomes are on strike, so I have to fill the fridge myself17:51
eddyb9wait... if BeagleBoard (the original) uses the sam GPU, can't we just boot stuff meant for the BeagleBoard?17:53
Sicelolol. no17:55
eddyb9what is actually different?17:56
eddyb9the power management, the wifi chip, the broadband stuff17:56
DocScrutinizer05power is twl403018:00
DocScrutinizer05display is rather proprietary18:00
DocScrutinizer05and of course all the other peripherals18:01
eddyb9is the fb/pvr part different from the SoC (3530) used in BeagleBoard?18:01
eddyb9from what I know, the internals of 3430 and 3530 are almost identical18:02
DocScrutinizer05prolly not18:02
*** NIN101 has quit IRC18:02
DocScrutinizer05aiui they are completely identical18:03
eddyb9is there anything external related to the display that's specific to N900?18:03
DocScrutinizer05except maybe the HS stuff (which luckily isn't used on N900)18:03
eddyb9high-speed USB?18:03
DocScrutinizer05sure, the display controller is specific18:03
DocScrutinizer05High Security18:04
eddyb9oh. that could've been bad18:04
DocScrutinizer05ask freemangordon_ for details regarding all that18:04
DocScrutinizer05he made kernel 3.x.x run on n900 iirc18:05
DocScrutinizer05for sure he knows a bit about HS18:05
eddyb9so the display controller, power management and USB PHY or whatever are external18:05
DocScrutinizer05power is standard twl4030 chip18:05
eddyb9does it do PHY, also?18:06
DocScrutinizer05TPS6595018:06
eddyb9I once read about all that stuff18:06
DocScrutinizer05not on N90018:06
eddyb9I remember about a multi-purpose chip18:06
DocScrutinizer05that's 65950 aka twl403018:06
DocScrutinizer05companion chip18:06
DocScrutinizer0565951 on N918:07
DocScrutinizer05PHY on N900 is 177018:07
DocScrutinizer05PHY on first silicon rev of 65950 been flawed18:08
DocScrutinizer05or sth like that18:08
eddyb9is it just me, or the specs I've seen on wikipedia for N9 aren't that much better than N900?18:08
DocScrutinizer05it's just you18:09
eddyb9then just the GPU?18:09
eddyb9ooh, so Nokia worked around it instead of waiting for a new revision? ok, that explains that18:09
eddyb9well, I'll try it if I can. if it doesn't boot, it's fine. I think I'll need uboot or bootmenu for it, are they both generic enough?18:10
DocScrutinizer05twl4030 1. rev wasn't able to handle d+/- short detection for unattended fastcharging, or sth18:10
DocScrutinizer05so they got 1770 which reliably detects D+/- short18:11
DocScrutinizer05it's a 1740 with inverted D-/- (aka OTG?) signal18:11
