11:23:20 <repoman> is it normal for monerod to keep disconnecting throughout the first sync?
11:23:43 <repoman> Error: Unsuccessful -- json_rpc_request:
11:23:46 <repoman> log sends out this
12:27:50 <nssy2> xmrchain.net is ded
13:55:44 <repoman> nssy2: so is this channel
13:55:49 <repoman> 'pparently
14:02:14 <nioc> wen bridge to matrix?
14:10:49 <NorrinRadd> nioc you can join matrix if you want the matrix plebs 
14:11:34 <nioc> no, I want the rooms bridged 
14:12:25 <plowsof> i feel attacked!
14:12:50 <plowsof> although i do identify as an IRC user after shedding my [m]
14:19:08 <nioc> silly tribes, we are one
16:08:46 <selsta> repoman: what are you trying to do exactly?
16:14:26 <repoman> selsta: syncing the blockchain with the monero gui app
16:14:33 <repoman> i am a very big newbie btw..... >.<
16:14:59 <selsta> repoman: ok, can you go to Settings -> Info and post "Version" and "Wallet mode" ? And which OS are you using?
16:15:18 <repoman> the app froze
16:15:22 <repoman> 1 sec
16:15:30 <selsta> are you using a Ledger?
16:15:41 <repoman> what does that mean?
16:15:46 <selsta> a ledger hardware wallet
16:15:53 <repoman> nope
16:15:59 <repoman> its not frozen it was just moving slowly lol
16:16:00 <selsta> ok, it should not freeze at all
16:16:19 <repoman> ok version 0.18.1.2-release wallet mode Advanced mode (Local node)
16:16:24 <selsta> ok
16:16:39 <repoman> its gone through 72gb of the blockchain
16:16:44 <selsta> what kind of hardware (CPU, disk, RAM, ...) do you have?
16:16:47 <repoman> but it disconnected like 5 times
16:17:03 <repoman> I have a ryzen 7 5700g, 32 gigs 3600MT/s, rx 6570xt
16:17:10 <repoman> and the os I'm running is Gentoo
16:17:27 <selsta> SSD or HDD? with that specs likely SSD lol
16:17:31 <repoman> and the disk.... is a laptop hard drive on an usb case
16:17:45 <repoman> I'm using that disk for monero only
16:18:11 <repoman> but yes I do have an 512gb nvme ssd, a 240gb sata ssd, one 2tb hdd and another 1tb hdd
16:18:21 <repoman> but those are unrelated
16:19:15 <selsta> sync speed mainly depends on random disk IO, so NVMe SSD is preferred
16:19:25 <selsta> I would let it sync and check if you still have issues afterwards
16:20:12 <repoman> selsta: yeah I understand I'm on worst case scenario when it comes to disk here
16:20:21 <repoman> but still, disconnecting and timing out is weird
16:21:15 <selsta> GUI and monerod daemon are two separate programs, so maybe the daemon was busy syncing and took too long to respond
16:21:27 <selsta> it should not happen with SSD, I don't know if it happens with a slow drive
16:21:53 <selsta> so I can't tell you if it's normal or not
16:22:14 <repoman> selsta: that makes sense
16:22:45 <repoman> I'm only using the GUI because i'm a big newbie on crypto in general even
16:22:52 <repoman> would be optimal to go without it
16:23:06 <fragcula> SSD accessed over USB 2.0 is probably not great speed wise
16:23:49 <repoman> it's a laptop hdd accessed over usb 3.0 fragcula 
16:24:07 <fragcula> Oh that's probably alright then.
16:24:18 <repoman> it should be those new cyan usb port thingies
16:24:24 <selsta> the hdd is the issue
16:24:26 <repoman> but the case probably only supports 3.0
16:25:11 <fragcula> I reckon you might get some useful rough figures of disc r/w access with dd?
16:25:14 <repoman> selsta: i dont have any spare ssd's unfortunately
16:25:18 <repoman> theyre all already being used
16:25:29 <repoman> i'll do that fragcula 
16:25:36 <selsta> read / write speed is not important for monero
16:25:44 <selsta> it's random disk IO speed
16:25:59 <selsta> sequential read / write*
16:27:01 <repoman> I see
16:27:07 <repoman> well i'll wait for it to sync
16:27:14 <repoman> and maybe get an extra ssd in the future
16:27:28 <selsta> a pruned blockchain is 55gb
17:36:04 <mawk> xmrchain.net is down
17:36:21 <mawk> I guess someone said it already
17:41:57 <nioc> the person that runs it is not in this channel, I let a message for them
17:42:04 <nioc> *I left
