| 04:13 | | * McMartin also looks at parser combinators in C |
| 04:13 | <&McMartin> | The MPC library looks more plausible than I'd expect, since ordinarily I would expect you to need proper closures for this to work. |
| 04:14 | <&McMartin> | They're stashing everything they need in ancillary context objects, as they should, but they've managed to hide that in the API pretty well. |

| 07:44 | <@abudhabi> | I fucking hate macs. |
| 07:44 | <@abudhabi> | It's like trying to operate in a jail where the laws of physics are subtly altered just to mess with you. |
| 08:12 | <&McMartin> | Does something in particular bring this up |
| 08:13 | <&McMartin> | Not that I disagree |
| 08:14 | <@abudhabi> | I need to copy a large file from a mac to a windows. |
| 08:14 | <@abudhabi> | But apparently NTFS is not supported for writing, just reading. |
| 08:15 | <@abudhabi> | But FAT apparently is. |
| 08:15 | <&McMartin> | ISTR there is a thing you can install to get around that for NTFS, but I don't know how reliable it is. |
| 08:15 | <@abudhabi> | Well, I just formatted the USB stick with FAT. |
| 08:15 | <&McMartin> | Problem solved |
| 08:15 | <&McMartin> | Also means you don't have to worry about ntfsutils/fuse/captiventfs nonsense on Linux as well |
| 08:15 | <@abudhabi> | And I'm splitting the large file into 1GB parts. |
| 08:16 | <@abudhabi> | The next part of the exercise will be how to join those files up again on windows. |
| 08:16 | <&McMartin> | Have MSYS2 installed, use cat...? |
| 08:17 | <&McMartin> | I don't trust the gnuwin32 port of cat to respect binary mode >_< |
| 08:18 | <&McMartin> | Comedy option would be to scp the file to and then from a Pi~ |
| 08:18 | <@abudhabi> | LiveUSB a Mint, mount the drive, join the files? |
| 08:19 | <&McMartin> | Well, assuming it's got working ntfswrite |
| 08:19 | <@abudhabi> | Is that part of ntfs-3g? |
| 08:20 | <&McMartin> | I... think so, but I don't remember which gen we're on for ntfs nonsense these days |
| 08:20 | <@abudhabi> | Because I was mounting NTFS disks last time around. |
| 08:20 | <&McMartin> | Yeah, but was it read-only, is the question, and that's what I don't remember |
| 08:20 | <@abudhabi> | That far I haven't checked. |
| 08:21 | <&McMartin> | ntfs3g does advertise being fully read-write |
| 08:22 | <&McMartin> | The Mac approach to writing NTFS seems Not Recommended https://www.howtogeek.com/236055/how-to-write-to-ntfs-drives-on-a-mac/ |
| 08:25 | | * McMartin ponders, goes to check a thing |
| 08:27 | <&McMartin> | Dammit. Not quite. |
| 08:27 | <&McMartin> | If you have Python installed implementing a cat-like script for it is like ten lines, though. |
| 08:32 | <&McMartin> | https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/CSQMBZ3m6N/ |
| 08:33 | <&McMartin> | python cat.py part1.bin part2.bin part3.bin final.bin |
| 08:33 | <&McMartin> | No ">" there so that it can be sure to force binary mode everywhere. |
| 08:34 | <&McMartin> | Maybe to be safer about that replace the "wb" on line 8 with "xb" |
| 08:34 | <&McMartin> | (which will make it fail if the file exists because you forgot to set a destination, instead of trashing the last file) |
| 08:41 | <&McMartin> | If you don't have Python installed, I suggest installing Python 3 on Windows, as its Windows support far outstrips all other scripting languages widely used on Unixoids |
| 08:42 | <&McMartin> | The "dammit not quite" is that the command "copy part1.bin+part2.bin+part3.bin final.bin" mostly works, but it puts a ^Z at the end which means that it's doing textmode nonsense |
| 08:46 | <@abudhabi> | I'm gonna try the Mint liveUSB thing first. |
| 08:46 | <@abudhabi> | Since I already have that. |
| 08:48 | <&McMartin> | Aha |
| 08:48 | <&McMartin> | copy /b uses binary mode |
| 08:49 | <&McMartin> | so you can do copy /b part1+part2+part3+part4 assembled |

| 10:59 | <@abudhabi> | McMartin: That's Windows' copy command? |
| 11:01 | <~Vorntastic> | Yes |
| 12:17 | <@abudhabi> | Sweet, it worked. |
| 12:39 | <~Vorntastic> | Hit canes |
| 12:39 | <~Vorntastic> | Er. Hot cakes |
| 12:43 | <&[R]> | FYI: Filezilla has a Windows port. Filezilla supports sftp (SSH's ftp-like thing). Macs ship with SSH. |
| 12:45 | <&[R]> | My experience has been, if you're using something other than FTP or SSH for file transfer, you're going to have a headache |
| 12:45 | <&[R]> | Unless you go full retard and run a pure-Windows setup |
| 13:01 | <@abudhabi> | [R]: This Mac tends to overheat and die after an hour. |
| 13:01 | <@abudhabi> | I figured USB stick would be less prone to having to start over. |

| 16:58 | <&jerith> | IIRC, the problem with write-mode NTFS is that it's a proprietary filesystem and is underspecified in a number of impartant areas. Read is easier to implement than write because you don't have to worry about consistency, etc. |
