ar you a customer or a bot?
toddf
toddf: ha, nice one :)
hmmmm never noticed that before... since Arabic is a RtL language, irssi reversed the order of the timestamp, which meant that the message was sent at '64:12'
G: not sure how your irssi came out but I got a bunch of \ u 0 6 4 5 \ u 0 6 3 1 .. stuff. (added space to make sure some auto interpreted bits are not auto interpreted)
so I'm not sure what was said, but whatever it was, the nick was clearly not adding value nor acknowledging sentience
toddf: it came out in Arabic for me, I remembered to teach putty to display UTF-8 ;)
Google Translate says it was 'Hello young people in the end tells the Arab'
I'm here via tmux then xterm. lets see what 'less' on the log file reveals.
guess my irssi must translate to the unicode escape sequences, it's logged literal chars of \ then u then 0 then 6 then 4 then 5 ..
toddf: interesting, sounds like irssi is realising something isn't UTF-8 ready, and not processing it
that or are you on *BSD and have built irssi w/o UTF-8 supporT?
OpenBSD, of course. lets see what ports does..
hmm, nothing obvious disables utf-8, nothing obvious in configure to enable/disable it
hmmm odd then
running 'configure' gives no output stating 'utf' in any case. *shrug*
irssi-0.8.15 here. you?
toddf: anything about unicode/uci
same here
actually I think it's icu
http://todd.fries.net/pub/irssi.configure.log
hmmmm no idea then
toddf: what about /set term_charset
054453 term_charset = ASCII
mine is set to UTF-8
so I've set mine to utf-8. can you repaste that utf8 sequence (or a small bit of it) ?
مرحبا شباب في حدا يحكي عربي
much different indeed
Arabic script?
not yet, but at least it logged the unicode sequences. probably need 'xterm -u8' etc
ahhh yeah
guess my fonts suck, once i got 'xterm -u8 -en UTF-8' started and cat'ed the logfile, I get dotted boxes instead of arabic script
ouch, or you don't have UTF-8 locales maybe
reminds me why i didn't start enabling utf-8 in the term as well, no 5x7 utf8 font that I've found yet
not sure how it's handled on the BSDs
OpenBSD is .. in progress .. implementing wide chars and such. seems like more progress is made every release, but its slow. 'good enough for xyz' seems to be all I register ..
un-fonts-core and un-fonts-extra seem like a good set of fonts to install
bah, those are korean fonts
farsifonts-ttf seems better
probably am still missing something, either OpenBSD is lacking or I am not doing something right, perhaps both
G: \u0646\u0639\u0645  =)
but not in unicode
gamarco: that's irssi with the term_charset set to ascii
toddf: can you repaste?
toddf: /set term_charset utf-8
in your irssi
nesta: he'd already done that
gamarco: مرحبا شباب في حدا يحكي عربي
so now at least the native charset binary goop will get logged instead of the ascii'ification of such, even if my term can't display it now, it should at some point in the future ;-)
G: my charset is messed up. i think it's because i'm in windows for the time being
gamarco: if you are using putty there is a quick fix
what is it
gamarco: http://anti.teamidiot.de/nei/2007/02/irssi_putty_screen_unicode_utf/
نعم
gamarco: that came through okay
cool. showed up weird here
anyone ever have issues with freebsd VPS randomly becoming unresponsive?
nothing in teh logs or on console
can't seem to figure out what causes it
no spikes in anything from my munin graphs
crazed: everything is fine in all of my vps's.   if it's a re-occuring issue,  I'd send an email to support@ to investigate
hm
jpalmer: are your VMs using freebsd with zfs root?
no.
i kinda wonder if that's my issue
I've never used zfs,  so I don't have any hints for you.  but I do know that randalshwartz is using zfs in all of his vps's.  so you may want to talk to him when he's around.
hm thanks
i'll have to talk to him then
longest uptime i've gotten so far was about 200 days
200 days?  doesn't sound too much like a recurring issue
it's sporatic
sometimes it's within a week, sometimes i amonth
and sometimes, nearly a year
yeah
my guess:  if ti was something on the ARP side of things,  several people would be experiencing it,  and it'd probably be more frequent than 200 days
yeah i agree
i'm doing a full upgrade of my os/software now just to see if that helps
