02:05:47 <hyc> selsta: this is your PR branch
02:06:55 <hyc> 89% 2674083 / 3001801 now. CPU use is up so it's actually verifying things now

02:27:08 <hyc> 94MB seems like a lot of sent traffic considering all it's doing is syncing from an --add-exclusive-node on the LAN
10:57:53 <plowsof> this "isnt a big deal as this is something that is called once every ~3 days and we're talking about speeding up by a few hundred of milliseconds, " but worth a look https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/17eh32z/modernrx_v0312_improved_randomx_initialization/
11:26:23 <sech1> I commented there
11:44:39 <selsta> hyc: I have two open, one for master and one for release
11:44:59 <selsta> if you use the release branch it will have more up to date checkpoints
11:45:13 <selsta> we update the checkpoints in master branch less regularly
14:31:44 <hyc> well I used your branch for PR9028
14:42:43 <selsta> yea that's from master branch which misses recent checkpoints. if you switch to release-v0.18 it should sync up faster.
14:43:11 <selsta> or 9029
14:45:17 <hyc> I'm in no hurry .might as well put this CPU thru its paces
14:47:24 <hyc> it seems to now be syncing 2 blocks/second
14:48:26 <hyc> hm, a few more days to go at this rate
17:22:33 <hyc> meh. I built the v0.18 patch ;)
17:22:53 <hyc> 20 blocks/sec now
19:01:57 <m-relay> <c​hch3003:monero.social> Hello! Can someone explain the purpose of the recent RandomX update?
19:19:51 <selsta> which update exactly? the one proposed for a future network upgrade?
19:21:01 <m-relay> <c​hch3003:monero.social> RandomX 1.2
19:21:44 <m-relay> <c​hch3003:monero.social> I was watching https://twitter.com/monerotopia/status/1716484637374177574
19:21:44 <m-relay> <c​hch3003:monero.social> He talks about it but doesn't really know what it is about
19:24:09 <selsta> it fixes a bug on macOS ARM that could result in a crash and it added optimized support for RISC-V CPUs
19:25:26 <m-relay> <c​hch3003:monero.social> Ok thank you :)
23:56:37 <hyc> gah. my sync failed at 95%, hard error on the SSD.
23:56:41 <hyc> bad sectors
23:56:55 <m-relay> <r​ecanman:agoradesk.com> Backup everything while you can (if you haven't already)
23:57:15 <m-relay> <r​ecanman:agoradesk.com> SSDs will die very quickly once they show any signs of failures
23:57:25 <hyc> yeah. it's an ld 500GB one, it's been beaten on for a long time
23:57:31 <hyc> old^
23:57:41 <m-relay> <r​ecanman:agoradesk.com> Good luck
