  I hope the prune needs more than 20 GB extra.
• 00:17
  Mochi101
  yes, monero-blockchain-prune
• 00:18
  Mochi101
  it'll prune your blockchain data and then it'll stay pruned.
• 00:18
  Mochi101
  If I recall correctly you'll have to delete the old, non-pruned chain manually
• 00:19
  darsie
  Oh, so I *will* run out of disk space ...
• 00:19
  Mochi101
  yes
• 00:19
  Mochi101
  :D
• 00:20
  darsie
  ok, I'll stop it, then.
• 00:21
  Mochi101
  Other way would be to delete the chain and resync pruned
• 00:21
  darsie
  with the cli client?
• 00:21
  Mochi101
  getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/pruning.html
• 00:21
  Mochi101
  yes
• 00:22
  Mochi101
  Run monerod with --prune-blockchain
• 00:22
  darsie
  ah, that's not even a client.
• 00:22
  Mochi101
  So delete the blockchain.. then run ./monerod --prune-blockchain
• 00:23
  Mochi101
  It's the daemon
• 00:23
  Mochi101
  sorry... not the cli... monerod
• 00:25
  darsie
  monerod is doing :)

  2021-12-05 00:29:23.110 I Synced 163556/2507837 (6%, 2344281 left, 2% of total synced, estimated 8.3 hours left)
• 00:43
  Mochi101
  darsie, that'll do it for you.
• 00:43
  Mochi101
  then you can run the GUI and it'll stay pruned
• 00:43
  darsie
  yay :)
• 01:33
  selsta
  00:29 <nioc> I don't use the GUI but think there is an option <-- there is now if you sync for the first time
• 01:34
  darsie
  thx. too late, though.
• 01:47

• 01:47
  nioc
  Did I remember something?
• 01:51
  darsie
  nioc: Ahh, right, you mentioned that at first, but then I tried something else ...
• 01:58
  nioc
  Vague directions based on vague memories
• 01:58
  nioc
  So helpful lol

  looks like a good sync resume after tonights hibernation: paste.debian.net/1222111
• 10:57
  merope
  Oh wow, you went into hibernation without even stopping the daemon? Bold move
• 10:58
  merope
  Generally speaking, you might want to avoid that - if your blockchain file gets corrupted because the application stopped mid-write, you will have to redo the sync from scratch
• 11:07
  darsie
  Is there a way to verify?
• 11:15
  darsie
  Generally everything continues to work fine after resume. Well, except network connections.
• 11:16
  darsie
  And if a network in an hour long sync would make it fail that would be bad design.
• 11:17
  darsie
  network issue*
• 11:18
  merope
  Not a network issue, but an issue while writing the data to disk
• 11:19
  merope
  If the sync is resuming without issue, then you should be fine
• 11:26
  darsie
  Yeah, but I don't seem to have issues with writing to disk due to hibernation, generally.
• 11:26
  darsie
  I hibernate every night.
• 11:26
  darsie
  my computer and myself :)
• 15:55
  darsie
  How can monerod use 613% cpu on an quad core i7-3770?
• 15:56
  raecarruth
  o_0
• 15:56
  darsie
  Does it have two virtual cpus/core?
• 15:57
  darsie
  mhm, 8 cpus. 4 virtual, I think.
• 15:57
  darsie
  Using all the power available is good.
• 15:58
  darsie
  Fan started blowing.
• 15:58
  darsie
  only temporarily
• 16:06
  orly_owl
  monero keeps you warm
• 16:07
  nioc
  can confirm
• 16:13
  hyc
  keeps my cats warm. me not so much.
• 16:15
  hyc
  mebbe I should build a footrest out of an array of ARM64 boxes mounted to an aluminum sheet
• 16:17
  orly_owl
  arm doesnt produce as much heat as x86 though
• 16:25
  Epsilon
  A box of Pentium 4s should keep an entire house warm
• 16:30
  nioc
  should market in Japan as a kotatsu
• 16:34
  hyc
  even tho it's for the heat production, I'd still prefer to maximize hashes/watt while doing it
• 16:35
  hyc
  you can run the array of arm64 boxes using just the aluminum sheet as a heatsink, no fans required
• 16:35
  hyc
  x86 if you don't mount a fan the chip will burn itself up

  2021-12-05 23:05:50.537 I SYNCHRONIZED OK
• 23:19
  darsie
  Does that mean it's ok?
• 23:24
  nioc
  darsie: should also show 100% and current block height of 2508517
• 23:24
  nioc
  and counting
• 23:25
  merope
  well yeah, otherwise it wouldn't be saying OK :P
• 23:26
  nioc
  I like to check only because it will say xxx/xxx yet be at 99%
• 23:26
  nioc
  after it says OK

  nioc: Daemon status: • XMR:ON (2m)
• 23:26
  nioc
  not much info there Wallet
• 23:27
  nioc
  some time after it saus OK
• 23:28
  nioc
  so yes it is ok but everyday I use the status command to make sure that it still is

  merope
  yep all good
• 23:31
  nioc
  thumbs_up
• 23:31
  darsie
  There were worries hibernating during sync could do harm.
• 23:31
  merope
  either hibernation is safer than I thought, or you got lucky - either way, you're good for the time being
• 23:32
  darsie
  :)
• 23:34
  darsie
  But, damn, I'm down to 21 GB free disk space again. lmdb is just 42 G. Where's the rest?
• 23:34
  darsie
  du to the rescue ...
• 23:36
  selsta
  pruned blockchain?
• 23:36
  nioc
  y
• 23:36
  selsta
  blockchain is only inside the lmdb folder
• 23:37
  darsie
  ./monerod --prune-blockchain
• 23:37
  darsie
  And it's only 42 G. Not the previous 114 G.
• 23:39
  darsie
  ahh, I looked at an old df -h output ...
• 23:39
  darsie
  all ok, 91 GB free.
• 23:45
  darsie
  With CPU mining I might find a block in 10 years average.
