<oriansj>nope, $700 and enjoying a big fat profit for very little work

<Hagfish_>and avoiding a monopoly / anti-trust enforcement

<Hagfish_>and at $50/ton, your competitors can't cover their costs

<oriansj>at $50, you are the only option still in business and thus no point in trying to hide

<Hagfish_>i guess your lawyers argue that it's the price cap that caused the monopoly, and therefore you can't be penalised

<Hagfish_>and yeah, suddenly everyone can afford steel, so the use goes up, instead of down

<oriansj>and because you aren't dumping (selling at below cost) you are outside of most anti-trust laws anyway

<Hagfish_>it's like the Cobra Effect, except that was completely predictable, as it didn't involve any hidden knowledge

<oriansj>exactly

<fossy>hey stikonas[m], can you send me your musl1.2.3-0_1.x86.xbps? i'm getting a different checksum on two systems (1dec185051d6039f82f62c4123597d3dc3f807f5f2f061fc6a92ce0d81151847), one qemu, one chroot...

<stikonas>fossy: which commit? latest live-bootstrap master?

<stikonas>I probably can't get it today (my timezone), it takes 2 hours but I'll send it to you tomorrow, so in your late evening

<fossy>yes, latest master

<fossy>no worries, i can do other things in meantime

<stikonas>I guess if I get your checksum, I'll just update the one we have

<stikonas>fossy: and what are we doing with downloads by default?

<stikonas>rickmasters was also a bit unhappy about that

<stikonas>fossy: I've just got 4b0aab8540e9acc3bd2cab11825130b3ff010825ec7a2b992cd8b9a558703e1f /usr/src/repo/musl1.2.3-0_1.x86.xbps

<stikonas>fossy: https://stikonas.eu/files/bootstrap/musl1.2.3-0_1.x86.xbps

<stikonas>oriansj: one probably very useful clue for M2-Mesoplanet crash

<stikonas>AMD64/bin/M2-Mesoplanet --architecture amd64 --version does not crash

<stikonas>(which is also why we didn't notice it before in stage0-posix runs)

<stikonas>also unrelated crash, if you specify M2-Mesoplanet --debug-mode without a number following it, then it would crash

<stikonas>as we have no extra check there

<stikonas>hmm, it's not clear though why --architecture solves the crash...

<stikonas>fossy: and I'm getting the same checksum in qemu mode

<stikonas>no error

<oriansj>stikonas: the reasons is: hold = argv[i+1];

<oriansj>easy to fix

<stikonas[m]>Yes, this one was clear, like I said we are just missing an extra check

<oriansj>let me patch these up

<stikonas[m]>I haven't looked much more into --version crash though

<stikonas[m]>(Besides observation that --architecture makes crash go away)

<oriansj>well let me add some more sanity checking on passed arguments
