2021-02-01T00:04:02 #kisslinux hi 2021-02-01T01:39:50 #kisslinux since dylan refactored his website just before disappearing we can exclude that something happened to him unwillingly 2021-02-01T03:39:11 #kisslinux is there a way anyone can personally contact him? 2021-02-01T03:39:32 #kisslinux not for doxing as he probably has doxxed himself 2021-02-01T03:58:40 #kisslinux ho no Dylan :'c 2021-02-01T03:58:52 #kisslinux hi i'm new 2021-02-01T04:42:37 #kisslinux so I don't see any big upside to us attempting to make any type of contact with dylan 2021-02-01T04:42:54 #kisslinux either he's left or he's coming back at some future time; either way, it isn't up to us, right? 2021-02-01T04:43:32 #kisslinux best we can do is make sure the domain name is saved and some version of the repositories are upkept (IF we want to maintain some semblance of a 'distro') 2021-02-01T04:44:29 #kisslinux so basically we need to make sure that oen of us buys the k1ss.org domain AND we stay on top of kiss-community, and telegraph to the community that any updates to the project can be found at @/kiss-community 2021-02-01T04:46:53 #kisslinux Basically I don't see any good reason to seek out dylan *publically*; if you want to find him on your own time that's fine, but dylan's goal with KISS was to design a self-maintainable OS and I think he accomplished that goal marvelously, and we don't need him in order to keep on. We just need to make public that this shift has happened as best we can 2021-02-01T04:50:52 #kisslinux dilyn , you are right 2021-02-01T04:51:04 #kisslinux but, you know about voidlinux situation, right? 2021-02-01T04:51:18 #kisslinux there was drama which went on 2021-02-01T04:51:41 #kisslinux recently? or the stuff that happened a while back 2021-02-01T04:54:07 #kisslinux honestly i don't think there's much drama here like there was with void; dylan licensed everything MIT so we're fine forking his work 2021-02-01T04:54:23 #kisslinux plus the repos are basically just text files so anybody can fork those 2021-02-01T04:54:46 #kisslinux and since they're just text files maintenance for 98% of packages is just bumping version numbers/source files 2021-02-01T04:55:41 #kisslinux i've been maintaining my own versions of KISS for months no issues; having @/kiss-community just shifts the load to a group instead of dylan. it doesn't so much matter to me 2021-02-01T04:56:19 #kisslinux Then,fine 2021-02-01T04:56:35 #kisslinux i was worried of Dylan's state to be honest 2021-02-01T04:56:49 #kisslinux suddenly disappeared. it worried me 2021-02-01T04:56:55 #kisslinux oh for sure! i think we're all worried about dylan's health 2021-02-01T04:57:11 #kisslinux considering it's a pandemic and he's lead a sort of transient life, there's good reason to be worried 2021-02-01T04:57:49 #kisslinux but the way i see it; if we knew it was over and wanted to say something, he would've; if he didn't know it was over, then there's no good reason to go poking. if it isn't over, he'll be back 2021-02-01T05:16:06 #kisslinux what was the drama with void ? the only thing i know is that the main author disappeared for a while and nobody had access to his github repos 2021-02-01T05:16:26 #kisslinux s/pandemic/plandemic/ 2021-02-01T05:25:18 #kisslinux some nonsense about the author of their package manager et al. closing off their repos or deleting all their work or something... lemme see if i can find some links 2021-02-01T05:26:53 #kisslinux xtrame had some thoughts(?) here 2021-02-01T05:26:54 #kisslinux https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/g2l9ws/thoughts_on_juans_xtraeme_recent_rants/ 2021-02-01T05:27:08 #kisslinux this is hwo void responded 2021-02-01T05:27:09 #kisslinux https://voidlinux.org/news/2020/04/some-context.html 2021-02-01T05:28:33 #kisslinux you could probably find xtraeme's twitter and look at his meltdown personally; basically just a lot of drama about how xtramee didnt' like how the project was going (he didn't seem to bd BDFL so it wasn't up to him how void went? he forked the whole, thing, I guess?? i haven't heard any updates) 2021-02-01T05:28:37 #kisslinux sory for typos am drunk 2021-02-01T05:29:50 #kisslinux hello 2021-02-01T05:29:56 #kisslinux hi 2021-02-01T05:29:57 #kisslinux i had my kiss installation previous month 2021-02-01T05:30:25 #kisslinux now,i am planning to rewrite kiss package manager in golang 2021-02-01T05:30:28 #kisslinux any suggestions? 2021-02-01T05:31:11 #kisslinux Maybe you can see if this is of any help: https://github.com/illiliti/king Seems to be inactive now 2021-02-01T05:31:43 #kisslinux oh, already written 2021-02-01T05:31:56 #kisslinux basically,i am thinking whether including kiss-bin is good 2021-02-01T05:32:08 #kisslinux It's incomplete i think so you can base off of it 2021-02-01T05:32:37 #kisslinux tbh, i think that we can use age instead of gpg if we ever want to distribute binary packages 2021-02-01T05:32:42 #kisslinux what do you think? 2021-02-01T05:33:14 #kisslinux https://github.com/FiloSottile/age 2021-02-01T05:33:26 #kisslinux there is also rust implementation available 2021-02-01T05:33:56 #kisslinux There's kiss-community/repo-bin for binaries and only checksums are used there, no signing 2021-02-01T05:34:33 #kisslinux if signing was to be included, what do you choose? 2021-02-01T05:34:46 #kisslinux gpg is bloated imo 2021-02-01T05:34:47 #kisslinux age 2021-02-01T05:35:03 #kisslinux ok,thanks for feedback 2021-02-01T05:47:37 #kisslinux what is the new repository? 2021-02-01T05:47:52 #kisslinux *where 2021-02-01T05:49:33 #kisslinux what would be the advantage of a go impl of kiss ? 2021-02-01T05:50:45 #kisslinux actually, it could be faster, git can be embedded within package manager 2021-02-01T05:50:55 #kisslinux also, we can use concurrent downloading,etc. 2021-02-01T05:51:02 #kisslinux single binary too 2021-02-01T05:51:32 #kisslinux cgronohe: https://github.com/kiss-community 2021-02-01T05:52:26 #kisslinux testuser: thank you 2021-02-01T06:22:42 #kisslinux if signing is to be included, then I think it should be minisign instead of age (since I think age deals with encryption rather than signing) 2021-02-01T06:41:48 #kisslinux it's also nice 2021-02-01T06:42:02 #kisslinux age also deals with signing 2021-02-01T06:42:43 #kisslinux looking at the logs, have we officially decided to take over the project? 2021-02-01T06:46:56 #kisslinux Yes. I think you people must take over. But,in case, if Dylan returns, he must recieve good treatment and he must be able to preside. 2021-02-01T06:47:15 #kisslinux well, sure. he's the BDFL 2021-02-01T06:48:41 #kisslinux I have seen both cases of solus and void where creators left and people badmouthed the creator 2021-02-01T06:49:00 #kisslinux in solus, it's true . but,in void, i felt it's not creater's fault 2021-02-01T06:49:10 #kisslinux well, I think those are also much larger communities. you always get bad apples once you reach a certain size 2021-02-01T06:49:23 #kisslinux but I think most if not all of the people involved with KISS are in relative agreement 2021-02-01T06:49:31 #kisslinux well,yes. i trust you guys. go ahead 2021-02-01T06:49:43 #kisslinux :P 2021-02-01T06:50:00 #kisslinux as an aside I'm going to be attempting to package GCC 8 and Web Browser, if anyone's interested 2021-02-01T06:52:24 #kisslinux not sure if it would work on musl, but... one can hope 2021-02-01T08:04:24 #kisslinux ugh I should have fired up my workstation for this 2021-02-01T08:04:33 #kisslinux compiling on my desktop is taking a billion and a half years 2021-02-01T09:14:26 #kisslinux https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC_Vz9Y7TZ9h7strT_h2msDw/about 2021-02-01T09:38:26 #kisslinux I think it shouldn't be a takeover but a fork of KISS with a different name (but with the kiss pkg manager ofc), probably don't want a conflict in names 2021-02-01T09:41:06 #kisslinux that's not gonna workout efficiently at the end 2021-02-01T11:42:43 #kisslinux konimex: I belive that in the event of Dylan does not return, and that the project is considered to be abondoned by the main dev. If this is the case that we end up with, I do belive we can easily justify taking over the project, alot like sawfish which midfavila mentioned earlier. If we fork the project, it might end up diversifying its userbase, and thus ending up with an even smaller userbase than it already is. kiss linux is already a rather small d 2021-02-01T11:47:11 #kisslinux time to fight over the next BDFL :P 2021-02-01T11:48:52 #kisslinux if theres gonna be any arguments of whos gonna steer the ship, Im out anyway, as I dont fit the qualifications to do so:p I think we'll end up with no bdfl, but more of a community driven one. much like its now with the forked core/community repos 2021-02-01T11:50:00 #kisslinux unless that is if theres one guy in the group that wishes to do so, and nobody else really cares 2021-02-01T11:52:15 #kisslinux I don't think we should get a new bdfl either, just keep the repos updated and in line with dylan's principles 2021-02-01T11:54:40 #kisslinux ^this 2021-02-01T13:22:39 #kisslinux i take it micr0 has left as well? 2021-02-01T13:24:37 #kisslinux hasnt been here since 12th according to irc log. if you just look up his name 2021-02-01T13:26:50 #kisslinux they're active on github, apart from KISS related stuff 2021-02-01T13:27:50 #kisslinux i think they've switched to macOS now 2021-02-01T13:28:56 #kisslinux (looking at the dotfiles repo) 2021-02-01T13:47:33 #kisslinux if one of us were to obtain the domain, would a VPS somewhere also be needed to host the site? 2021-02-01T13:49:11 #kisslinux not sure but you might be able to use github pages and just point to that domain 2021-02-01T13:55:28 #kisslinux yeah you can https://docs.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site 2021-02-01T15:11:42 #kisslinux testuser[m]_: i'm still working on https://github.com/illiliti/king 2021-02-01T15:11:48 #kisslinux i just didn't push my local commits yet 2021-02-01T15:12:36 #kisslinux oh, nice 2021-02-01T15:34:59 #kisslinux hmm, gonna try building a multilib (G)KISS to try and run steam 2021-02-01T19:29:24 #kisslinux my chromium doesn't have a file upload dialog presumably because I don't use gtk xD 2021-02-01T19:29:52 #kisslinux but luckily you can fuck with github using curl and an api key. so it doesn't even matter! easily scriptable releases. I love it. 2021-02-01T20:22:44 #kisslinux i'm a little late because I just woke up, but I think I agree with the "we don't need a BDFL" concept 2021-02-01T20:23:36 #kisslinux not that I think we should have a committee either. just a bazaar sort of development model, where people can add patches and stuff and use them if they want 2021-02-01T20:23:39 #kisslinux * midfavila shrugs 2021-02-01T20:42:24 #kisslinux Sure, but you still need *some* organization structure. In this case, kiss-community 2021-02-01T20:43:19 #kisslinux yeah, absolutely 2021-02-01T20:43:24 #kisslinux Are there any more planned features for kiss? 2021-02-01T20:43:32 #kisslinux no 2021-02-01T20:43:37 #kisslinux dylan was in the process of rewriting it in c 2021-02-01T20:43:42 #kisslinux I thought he gave that up 2021-02-01T20:43:49 #kisslinux I never heard that 2021-02-01T20:44:27 #kisslinux 2020-08-03: The C package manager is on hold and I will be revisiting it soon. The vision I 2021-02-01T20:44:29 #kisslinux have for it has changed and I'd like to explore something slightly different. 2021-02-01T20:44:31 #kisslinux Will have more to share about this later. 2021-02-01T20:44:40 #kisslinux https://k1ss.org/blog/20200803a 2021-02-01T20:44:42 #kisslinux on hold doesn't mean gave up 2021-02-01T20:44:43 #kisslinux :P 2021-02-01T20:44:48 #kisslinux thats what I meant 2021-02-01T20:45:03 #kisslinux ah, my bad then 2021-02-01T20:45:05 #kisslinux He was working on it a fair bit before he went on his break. 2021-02-01T20:45:27 #kisslinux although tbh I don't think KISS needs to be worked on a ton 2021-02-01T20:45:37 #kisslinux maybe if we can find a way to make it even more POSIX 2021-02-01T20:46:09 #kisslinux Could we call it feature complete then, have the only new work be refactoring, maintenance, etc 2021-02-01T20:46:18 #kisslinux You can see on the repo for k in Dylan's github. 2021-02-01T20:46:21 #kisslinux definitely, I think 2021-02-01T20:46:33 #kisslinux > Could we call it feature complete then 2021-02-01T20:46:37 #kisslinux yes, pls 2021-02-01T20:46:47 #kisslinux and then maybe fork the existing codebase to work on a new and improved but not necessarily portable variant 2021-02-01T20:47:05 #kisslinux or, maybe we could make a version that's completely self-contained, like k 2021-02-01T20:47:06 #kisslinux Do people want that? 2021-02-01T20:47:18 #kisslinux well, if people want that, they'll do it 2021-02-01T20:48:18 #kisslinux I think dylan considered kiss feature-complete, hence the rewrite k 2021-02-01T20:48:40 #kisslinux any other additions to kiss should probably just be small tweaks/bug fixes if they arise 2021-02-01T20:48:52 #kisslinux finishing k would probably make dylan happy xD 2021-02-01T20:49:15 #kisslinux k is a pretty big project to take on 2021-02-01T20:49:23 #kisslinux i agree 2021-02-01T20:49:41 #kisslinux not only would you have to proficient in POSIX but also C. i know that I wouldn't feel comfortable working on it 2021-02-01T20:49:52 #kisslinux not yet, anyway 2021-02-01T20:51:20 #kisslinux yar 2021-02-01T20:52:13 #kisslinux then again, it could also be a good learning exercise 2021-02-01T20:52:35 #kisslinux maybe there should be "teams" that work on each individual project 2021-02-01T20:52:47 #kisslinux so we could put together a k team, a maintenance team, etc 2021-02-01T20:53:04 #kisslinux I like that idea 2021-02-01T20:53:17 #kisslinux * midfavila nods 2021-02-01T20:53:45 #kisslinux i figure it'd make it easy to keep track of who's doing what, and it'd make it easy to ensure we assign people to what task they're best at 2021-02-01T20:53:51 #kisslinux I could help with the "meta" team, managing the GH repo, triaging issues, website, etc 2021-02-01T20:54:03 #kisslinux would probably need a release team to work on putting together leaner tarballs 2021-02-01T20:54:56 #kisslinux i like the idea of two people on kiss-community/repo, another on community 2021-02-01T20:55:05 #kisslinux and then maybe also look into a ports team, for modifying existing software to work in a more POSIXly or musl-ly compliant manner. idk 2021-02-01T20:55:10 #kisslinux lotsa ways to do it 2021-02-01T20:57:40 #kisslinux So do we try and get people to give up on the official kisslinux GH org? 2021-02-01T20:57:57 #kisslinux Not sure 2021-02-01T20:58:11 #kisslinux If we're going to have a "meta" team managing web stuff, we could always set up a gitlab or gitea instance 2021-02-01T20:58:25 #kisslinux github is owned by MS anyways, which is... eeeeeh... 2021-02-01T20:58:29 #kisslinux I second self-hosting 2021-02-01T20:59:30 #kisslinux I think we should create our wholy-own kiss-community infra 2021-02-01T20:59:40 #kisslinux Neo-KISS 2021-02-01T20:59:46 #kisslinux make it happen bb 2021-02-01T20:59:58 #kisslinux Honestly.... we could 2021-02-01T21:00:05 #kisslinux absolutely 2021-02-01T21:00:19 #kisslinux That might be the clearest way forward 2021-02-01T21:00:33 #kisslinux i don't have a ton of cash I could contribute, but I have lots of time so I can work on stuff a fair bit 2021-02-01T21:01:07 #kisslinux could also probably mirror the site on SDF 2021-02-01T21:01:33 #kisslinux one sec gotta grab my laptop so I can talk while I cook 2021-02-01T21:01:45 #kisslinux kiedtl already has a gemini mirror hosted on his tilde page 2021-02-01T21:02:36 #kisslinux i keep forgetting gemini exists... need to play with it more 2021-02-01T21:02:43 #kisslinux its good stuff 2021-02-01T21:02:53 #kisslinux really is 2021-02-01T21:03:09 #kisslinux anyways laptop is now up 2021-02-01T21:03:19 #kisslinux gonna go cook breakfast at... 1700 2021-02-01T21:03:22 #kisslinux very normal times 2021-02-01T21:05:05 #kisslinux absolutely standard 2021-02-01T21:05:27 #kisslinux my fault for sleeping all day but w/e 2021-02-01T21:05:40 #kisslinux i work better at nighttime so nothing lost 2021-02-01T21:05:58 #kisslinux nighttime is best time anyway 2021-02-01T21:06:35 #kisslinux exactly 2021-02-01T21:07:57 #kisslinux heh, can't help but feel excited about the possibility of restarting KISS development 2021-02-01T21:08:09 #kisslinux Heres my proposition: We fork into neo-kiss. Development and official point of communication is a Gitea server (or maybe Phabricator?) hosted at neokiss.net (Or similar domain... I can buy the domain and host the instance). Small teams take on individual tasks like increasing KISS portability, k, init, repo-commmunity, repo-main, etc, each organized into their own repos. We try and recruit as many people 2021-02-01T21:08:11 #kisslinux as possible from the main kisslinux GH org, although i'm sure that over time people will slowly migrate over to us. 2021-02-01T21:09:12 #kisslinux Day-to-day development discussion happens here (we can try and get op access from Freenode staff), and we could also set up a mailing list for bigger announcements 2021-02-01T21:09:50 #kisslinux sounds good to me 2021-02-01T21:10:38 #kisslinux hmm. maybe in the future we could even look at an official BSD port 2021-02-01T21:12:21 #kisslinux sounds interesting, and I would say right of the bat, that Id be happy to help, in any way I can. would be a great learning experience for me aswell 2021-02-01T21:12:26 #kisslinux testuser[m]_: nerditup,, ominous_anonymou, dilyn, kiedtl, aarng, mcpcpc[m], sad_plan.

Ive thought about checking out oBSD anyway 2021-02-01T21:14:33 #kisslinux i'll probably switch to dBSD or hBSD some time in the future 2021-02-01T21:14:42 #kisslinux linux kernel development is going in a... concerning direction 2021-02-01T21:14:57 #kisslinux nooo, midfavila1, don't leave us! Port KISS to it first so you don't have to go! 2021-02-01T21:15:19 #kisslinux yeah, I read the post about hyperbola? or was it parabola? that was going to swtich over to bsd stuff. 2021-02-01T21:15:30 #kisslinux its the right choice IMO 2021-02-01T21:15:39 #kisslinux hyperbola 2021-02-01T21:15:50 #kisslinux and I wouldn't leave KISS at this point :P 2021-02-01T21:15:54 #kisslinux right. 2021-02-01T21:15:57 #kisslinux i can't slake my autism with any other distro 2021-02-01T21:16:59 #kisslinux i tried source mage for a while, but sorcery is even slower than portage 2021-02-01T21:17:47 #kisslinux acheam, I don't have an opinion yet 2021-02-01T21:17:51 #kisslinux I'm all in for a BSD port, the kiss base could be so solid if we were able to standardize on a core set of utilities 2021-02-01T21:18:19 #kisslinux I've been away for some time (work has picked up full steam after the Holidays) 2021-02-01T21:18:36 #kisslinux I'm setting up a Gitea instance right now. 2021-02-01T21:19:05 #kisslinux v based 2021-02-01T21:19:13 #kisslinux I would love to help where I can, I'm a sysadmin ("DevOps") engineer by trade 2021-02-01T21:20:08 #kisslinux Good to know nerditup. I've setup gitea before, so I think i'm fine for now :) 2021-02-01T21:20:31 #kisslinux We do need a domain name though 2021-02-01T21:20:44 #kisslinux (or you could choose a subdomain of one of my domains for now) 2021-02-01T21:20:56 #kisslinux I was sad to see I was removed from the KISS Community on GH, but I understand since I've been MIA for a few weeks now 2021-02-01T21:20:58 #kisslinux i'll help with the site where I can too, although I'm only a sysadmin student 2021-02-01T21:21:41 #kisslinux nerditup: I'd be happy to add you back, there were just lots of people who were in there that didn't need full org access so I removed them 2021-02-01T21:21:46 #kisslinux Happy to see the passion remained 2021-02-01T21:21:50 #kisslinux but hopefully the GH org will only be relevant for a few more days :) 2021-02-01T21:22:16 #kisslinux For sure, include me in the new movement! Again, I'm eager/happy to help 2021-02-01T21:22:36 #kisslinux A KISS BSD would be the dream for me 2021-02-01T21:23:05 #kisslinux But happy to stick with Linux in the short term 2021-02-01T21:24:03 #kisslinux I'm tired of client work already and its just February lol 2021-02-01T21:24:09 #kisslinux rip 2021-02-01T21:24:35 #kisslinux i've been bored out of my mind with classes myself. haven't actually bothered showing up in like a week 2021-02-01T21:24:39 #kisslinux we're prepping for the A+ 2021-02-01T21:24:43 #kisslinux which is just... ugh 2021-02-01T21:26:53 #kisslinux I would be reticent to change the name 2021-02-01T21:27:00 #kisslinux We're not really forking the project 2021-02-01T21:27:54 #kisslinux what we *could* do is buy k1ss.org when it goes up and have it redirect to a version of the site hosted on github.com/kiss-community 2021-02-01T21:29:16 #kisslinux I think it's better that we stay as close to where KISS is as possible just in case dylan comes back, but also because a lot of the news surrounding KISS points it to all of his work; breaking off in a real way (like what forking entails) would fracture the community, and make it harder for people to identify what KISS is 2021-02-01T21:29:39 #kisslinux I can see people looking up KISS and seeing Dylan's work on Github, noticing it's dead, and losing interest, without recognizing neoKISS exists, for instance 2021-02-01T21:29:58 #kisslinux if we're going to continue as kiss linux, and not neo-kiss, we should buy the domain. 2021-02-01T21:30:21 #kisslinux thats all very valid criticism dilyn 2021-02-01T21:30:27 #kisslinux I think we should buy the domain regardless lmao 2021-02-01T21:30:48 #kisslinux my concern is that we will forever be waiting for dylan forever, never getting anything done.... See vim/neovim 2021-02-01T21:30:52 #kisslinux otherwise, acheam, i'm fine with your proposal, although I dont' think we should set out with such lofty goals from the get-go 2021-02-01T21:31:02 #kisslinux well, we gotta scale up slowly 2021-02-01T21:31:13 #kisslinux dilyn: understandable, it was incredibly ambitious 2021-02-01T21:31:31 #kisslinux I mean we can do all this without waiting, it's mostly just to ensure that places like hackernews/reddit/distrowatch don't confuse people with potentially old information on where to go to learn more about the project 2021-02-01T21:31:46 #kisslinux it's not that it's ambitious it's just that it might not all be necessary haha 2021-02-01T21:31:52 #kisslinux I kinda agree with archeam here, we cant just sit here and wait for Dylan to show up, what if he never does, and e *wasted* perhaps a year with doing basiclly nothing? 2021-02-01T21:32:05 #kisslinux like I can forsee a single person being required to watch init+kiss+baselayout, you know? 2021-02-01T21:32:09 #kisslinux I agree with dilyn about kiss-community and keeping close to KISS wherever possible 2021-02-01T21:32:58 #kisslinux the core stuff is already in place and hadn't really been changing quickly any more, so really it's more package updates/maintenance 2021-02-01T21:33:29 #kisslinux ^ 2021-02-01T21:33:59 #kisslinux i think that if we think we need to make changes to how the foundation of KISS as a distro operates, we're doing something wrong 2021-02-01T21:34:37 #kisslinux i don't think we would be making changes to how KISS operates, just organizing it and moving it towards being kernel agnostic 2021-02-01T21:34:50 #kisslinux ^ 2021-02-01T21:34:51 #kisslinux which is a Good Thing:tm:, in my opinion 2021-02-01T21:35:06 #kisslinux oh fuck my bacon is burning 2021-02-01T21:35:07 #kisslinux one sec 2021-02-01T21:35:21 #kisslinux okay crisis averted 2021-02-01T21:35:23 #kisslinux As a starting point, we should basically just need two people with permissions to push directly to the repo (main+community) to ensure PRs get pulled on time, one person to maintain the wiki and website to push news/blogs/wiki articles, one or two people to take care of POSIXy-stuff 2021-02-01T21:35:31 #kisslinux lmao 2021-02-01T21:36:24 #kisslinux I think pursuing a BSD spin-up is a super good idea; dylan wanted to see that happen and a few people have brought up doing it previously. so there's interest, and it would be a great continuation of the project 2021-02-01T21:37:51 #kisslinux * midfavila1 nods 2021-02-01T21:38:15 #kisslinux god I need to update my battery monitoring script 2021-02-01T21:40:48 #kisslinux dont' need to monitor your battery if your laptop is always plugged in 2021-02-01T21:40:53 #kisslinux * dilyn points at forehead 2021-02-01T21:41:05 #kisslinux ^ 2021-02-01T21:41:06 #kisslinux my laptop is only plugged in when I'm at my desktop nerd 2021-02-01T21:41:18 #kisslinux been meaning to get a dock actually 2021-02-01T21:41:26 #kisslinux acheam: I apologize for the late reply, but I'd strongly prefer waiting a few weeks longer (maybe even a month?) for information on Dylan's whereabouts before taking this action. 2021-02-01T21:42:03 #kisslinux On the other hand, I'm barely involved in the KISS project so I'm not sure my opinion is really worth anything :I 2021-02-01T21:42:16 #kisslinux s/project/project anymore/ 2021-02-01T21:42:16 #kisslinux On the other hand, I'm barely involved in the KISS project anymore so I'm not sure my opinion is really worth anything :I 2021-02-01T21:42:52 #kisslinux kiedtl: there has been talk about waiting for the 6 months mark, but I dunno if you guys are still on that boat, or if you just wanna get started asap 2021-02-01T21:43:06 #kisslinux well, haven't we already waited for four months or so at this point? 2021-02-01T21:43:30 #kisslinux no, its not ever 3 yet 2021-02-01T21:43:36 #kisslinux ^^ 2021-02-01T21:43:56 #kisslinux s/ever/even 2021-02-01T21:43:57 #kisslinux no, its not even 3 yet 2021-02-01T21:44:00 #kisslinux I'd prefer to wait *at least* four months, ... 2021-02-01T21:44:06 #kisslinux coulda sworn he disappeared in september of last year... unless I'm misremembering something 2021-02-01T21:44:09 #kisslinux lemme check his github 2021-02-01T21:44:11 #kisslinux november :) 2021-02-01T21:44:21 #kisslinux what omninous said ^ 2021-02-01T21:44:21 #kisslinux ah, my bad then 2021-02-01T21:44:38 #kisslinux Speaking of Dylan, does anyone have any information as to Dylan's physical location in Greece? 2021-02-01T21:44:43 #kisslinux I'd wait until the domain goes up for sale 2021-02-01T21:45:45 #kisslinux kiedtl: yes, we've tracked down his apartment building we think 2021-02-01T21:45:53 #kisslinux lmfao 2021-02-01T21:45:57 #kisslinux fuck yes 2021-02-01T21:45:59 #kisslinux some of us talked about it kiedtl but we don't think he'd want to be bothered in real life like that. either he voluntarily left, which means he purposely has not contacted anyone... or he involuntarily left which means there's not really anything we'd be able to do anyways 2021-02-01T21:46:07 #kisslinux which was some exhilarating investigation 2021-02-01T21:46:43 #kisslinux ominous: I'm totally fine if he voluntarily left, but if he involuntarily left (*looks outside*) I think it's best we know 2021-02-01T21:46:56 #kisslinux 4chan and Shia Laboeuf would be proud for sure lol 2021-02-01T21:47:11 #kisslinux i mean, if he died then it doesn't change anything right? 2021-02-01T21:47:24 #kisslinux i think he would have posted if he got sick though 2021-02-01T21:47:25 #kisslinux re 4chan: uhg, don't share the apart addr in this channel, lol 2021-02-01T21:47:59 #kisslinux midfavila1: maybe the Ubuntu folks hired someone to do a hit-and-run 2021-02-01T21:48:08 #kisslinux s/Ubuntu/Red Hat/ 2021-02-01T21:48:18 #kisslinux poettering got sick of dylan's shit 2021-02-01T21:48:22 #kisslinux lmfao 2021-02-01T21:48:32 #kisslinux now THAT i woudln't be surprised at 2021-02-01T21:48:47 #kisslinux ominous: if he died, it would mean we woudn't need to wait another two months before forking kiss 2021-02-01T21:49:15 #kisslinux i mean, we're not really forking it 2021-02-01T21:49:20 #kisslinux just continuing it 2021-02-01T21:49:27 #kisslinux kiss is essentially already "forked" though, with kiss-community. so waiting another couple months isn't really a problem 2021-02-01T21:49:53 #kisslinux setting up a new domain name etc is kinda more drastic than just moving the git repo 2021-02-01T21:50:22 #kisslinux so then what if we keep the domain and name, moved all the stuff to independent hosting, and continued from there? 2021-02-01T21:50:25 #kisslinux could fork the site too, and point the old domain name to the kiss-community-site repo or whatever 2021-02-01T21:50:28 #kisslinux that way everyone's happy 2021-02-01T21:50:28 #kisslinux wish we could just take over the old git org 2021-02-01T21:51:27 #kisslinux hmm... I wonder if I should submit a support request to gh asking about that 2021-02-01T21:51:33 #kisslinux eeeehhhh 2021-02-01T21:51:38 #kisslinux or maybe I should take my own advice and wait 2021-02-01T21:51:43 #kisslinux XD 2021-02-01T21:51:45 #kisslinux if dylan wanted people to take over kisslinux he would've done something 2021-02-01T21:52:02 #kisslinux i dunno about that 2021-02-01T21:52:04 #kisslinux I wonder if he ever thought of it 2021-02-01T21:52:07 #kisslinux like.... not leave? 2021-02-01T21:52:10 #kisslinux I like the idea of just rehosting and migrating to kiss-community, and telegraphing that change 2021-02-01T21:52:20 #kisslinux ^ i think that makes most sense 2021-02-01T21:52:23 #kisslinux he would've added somebody to it that he trusted, but he made clear he had no interest in doing that 2021-02-01T21:52:26 #kisslinux and probablly least work 2021-02-01T21:52:35 #kisslinux i feel like he chose to allow the community to take over the second he made a distro with a zero bus factor 2021-02-01T21:52:35 #kisslinux the hardest part is just going to be the subreddit because we can't pin posts lmfao 2021-02-01T21:52:44 #kisslinux ^ 2021-02-01T21:53:26 #kisslinux besides it's not like we're booting dylan 2021-02-01T21:53:37 #kisslinux dilyn: I think we should look into taking ownership of the GH org anyways, even if we're going to move to a new repo; at least then we'll be able to add a notice the the readme/description "MOVED: " 2021-02-01T21:53:37 #kisslinux https://k1ss.org/faq#4.0 he states what to do here 2021-02-01T21:53:39 #kisslinux if he comes back in a year, or five, or whatever, he can just take the projcet back 2021-02-01T21:53:47 #kisslinux yeah, that's another point 2021-02-01T21:54:23 #kisslinux if he comes back, it'll be easeier to merge the community/orignal repos, because there will be no merging to do 2021-02-01T21:54:34 #kisslinux mhm 2021-02-01T21:54:57 #kisslinux I don't think we need to take over the original gh org because if we just comandeer the domain we can point it to anywhere we want 2021-02-01T21:55:09 #kisslinux ^ 2021-02-01T21:55:26 #kisslinux i think most people who find KISS on github via kisslinux already know what's happened 2021-02-01T21:55:32 #kisslinux there are a lot of people who will go the GH org/repo first though, see "last commit 3 months ago", and leave 2021-02-01T21:55:43 #kisslinux Yeah there is no changing that 2021-02-01T21:55:52 #kisslinux well, also, like 2021-02-01T21:55:57 #kisslinux i mean that's quite possible; i only know that that's not how I find information on projects :S 2021-02-01T21:56:03 #kisslinux if they're willing to just take the first result and say "meh"... 2021-02-01T21:56:08 #kisslinux do we really want those people? 2021-02-01T21:56:10 #kisslinux my first search is never github, it's always google for a website or reddit 2021-02-01T21:56:34 #kisslinux lol yeah who needs em! fuck em 2021-02-01T21:56:43 #kisslinux * midfavila1 shrugs 2021-02-01T21:57:42 #kisslinux People will come over if you give them time. If Dylan never comes back, KISS will fade, and Neokiss will take over. If he never comes back, kiss-community will just be limiting itself for an indefinite amount of time 2021-02-01T21:57:53 #kisslinux I don't think it's worth worrying about. I think the users who would find dylan's repo and NOT k1ss.org is such a small percentage of the few people who would want to use KISS anyways that it isn't worth the effort 2021-02-01T21:58:10 #kisslinux it isn't limited if we control k1ss.org tho 2021-02-01T21:58:26 #kisslinux plus I feel like KISS is such a niche project that worrying about "will people use it" is kinda a moot point 2021-02-01T21:58:36 #kisslinux How do we get k1ss.org? WHOIS lookup says expires 2027, but that might be randomized for privacy 2021-02-01T21:58:39 #kisslinux anyone attracted to the philosophy of KISS will keep looking until they find something 2021-02-01T21:58:39 #kisslinux like, all the links point to k1ss.org and IRC, people can find kiss-community via git tags for kiss-repo 2021-02-01T21:58:49 #kisslinux acheam: not an indefinite amount of time, just for the next two months 2021-02-01T21:58:52 #kisslinux ^ 2021-02-01T21:59:11 #kisslinux where are you getting 2 months from? 2021-02-01T21:59:16 #kisslinux I might have missed that 2021-02-01T21:59:41 #kisslinux My suggestion was to wait *at least* two months (preferably four more) before going full-on with neokiss 2021-02-01T22:00:46 #kisslinux i think that's fair 2021-02-01T22:00:52 #kisslinux I don't really see a significant chance where Dylan comes back in the next two months 2021-02-01T22:00:54 #kisslinux we need the domain anyway to continue with neokiss 2021-02-01T22:01:06 #kisslinux so we should spend the two months gearing up for the shift 2021-02-01T22:01:06 #kisslinux We could always just get neokiss.net or something 2021-02-01T22:01:12 #kisslinux ew 2021-02-01T22:01:33 #kisslinux ? 2021-02-01T22:02:16 #kisslinux neokiss.net made me throw up a little 2021-02-01T22:02:20 #kisslinux .net domains are gross 2021-02-01T22:02:25 #kisslinux i loove .net domains 2021-02-01T22:02:31 #kisslinux yes, why not neokiss.org? 2021-02-01T22:02:31 #kisslinux .net is great 2021-02-01T22:02:37 #kisslinux .org is also acceptable 2021-02-01T22:02:45 #kisslinux .org is overused IMO 2021-02-01T22:02:46 #kisslinux but why get a new domain 2021-02-01T22:02:49 #kisslinux .org is OP 2021-02-01T22:02:55 #kisslinux how are we going to get k1ss.org.... 2021-02-01T22:02:58 #kisslinux acheam: dylan chose .org 2021-02-01T22:03:06 #kisslinux okay so 2021-02-01T22:03:07 #kisslinux how about this 2021-02-01T22:03:15 #kisslinux we spend the next two months gearing up for a potential shift 2021-02-01T22:03:22 #kisslinux if the domain goes up and dylan doesn't come back, we buy it 2021-02-01T22:03:28 #kisslinux which shouldn't be hard 2021-02-01T22:03:29 #kisslinux then shift everything over 2021-02-01T22:03:43 #kisslinux if he doesn't come back and the domain doesn't go up, we get a new one and continue as usual 2021-02-01T22:03:52 #kisslinux I mean we already have most everything forked 2021-02-01T22:03:57 #kisslinux if he does come back, we've made progress on KISS and nothing is lost 2021-02-01T22:04:05 #kisslinux wait... when is k1ss.org expiring...?
