User: install perf on ubuntu
Assistant: To install `perf` on Ubuntu, you typically need to install the `linux-tools-common` package, which includes the `perf` tool. Here are the steps to do that:

1. **Open a terminal.**

2. **Update your package list:**
   ```bash
   sudo apt update
   ```

3. **Install the `perf` tool:**
   ```bash
   sudo apt install linux-tools-$(uname -r)
   ```

   This command installs the version of `perf` that matches your currently running kernel.

4. **Verify the installation:**
   You can check if `perf` is installed correctly by running:
   ```bash
   perf --version
   ```

With these steps, you should have `perf` installed on your Ubuntu system. If you have a specific use case or need additional packages, feel free to ask!
User: $ sudo apt install linux-tools-$(uname -r) Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package linux-tools-6.1.0-28-amd64 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-tools-6.1.0-28-amd64' 
Assistant: It seems like the package for your specific kernel version (`linux-tools-6.1.0-28-amd64`) is not available in the repositories. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:

1. **Ensure Your Repositories Are Up-to-Date:**
   Make sure you have the `universe` repository enabled. Open your terminal and run the following commands to verify and update your package sources:

   ```bash
   sudo add-apt-repository universe
   sudo apt update
   ```

2. **Install a Generic `perf` Package:**
   Instead of installing `linux-tools` for a specific kernel version, you can try installing the generic package:

   ```bash
   sudo apt install linux-tools-common
   ```

3. **Install `perf` for your Specific Kernel:**
   If the above generic installation doesn't solve the issue or if you specifically want `perf` for your kernel version, you can download and install it from the official Ubuntu packages repository. First, identify your kernel version using:

   ```bash
   uname -r
   ```

   Then, you can manually search for the appropriate `linux-tools-*` package. For example, you can use:

   ```bash
   apt-cache search linux-tools-$(uname -r)
   ```

   If nothing appears or it's still missing, you might want to install `linux-tools` from the archive or find an appropriate PPA.

4. **Upgrade Your System:**
   If you're using an older version of Ubuntu or your system is not fully up to date, consider updating your Ubuntu to ensure you have access to all packages:

   ```bash
   sudo apt upgrade
   ```

5. **Alternative Installation Methods:**
   If you're still having difficulties, another option could be to install `perf` directly from the kernel source code or consider using a different package repository that might have the necessary tools.

User: там было одиноко in english
Assistant:  phrase "там было одиноко" translates to "it was lonely there" in English. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
User: EST in february?
Assistant:  Standard Time (EST) is the time zone that is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-5). In February, the United States is still observing Eastern Standard Time as Daylight Saving Time typically does not start until the second Sunday in March. Therefore, throughout February, EST is in effect and will remain so until the transition to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) takes place in March. If you have specific dates or times in February you're interested in, please let me know!
User: what does this error mean in chrome: "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH"
Assistant:  error "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH" in Google Chrome typically indicates that there is a problem with the SSL/TLS handshake when trying to establish a secure connection to a website. This error can occur for several reasons:

1. **Outdated SSL/TLS Protocols:** The server might be using an outdated SSL/TLS protocol that Chrome has disabled for security reasons. For example, if the server only supports SSL 3.0 or early versions of TLS (like TLS 1.0), Chrome will refuse to connect.

2. **Cipher Suite Mismatch:** The server may not support any of the cipher suites that Chrome is willing to use. Cipher suites are sets of algorithms that help secure network connections.

3. **Certificate Issues:** There could be an issue with the website's SSL certificate, such as it being expired, not trusted, or improperly configured.

4. **Browser Configuration:** Sometimes, browser settings or extensions can interfere with SSL connections. For example, if you've customized security settings or added extensions that affect network security, it could lead to this error.

5. **Antivirus/Firewall Interference:** Certain antivirus programs or security software may block or interfere with secure connections, leading to this error.

### Possible Solutions:

Here are a few steps you can take if you encounter this error:

1. **Try a Different Browser:** See if the error persists in another browser. This can help determine if it's a browser-specific issue.

2. **Check the Website URL:** Make sure the URL is correct and that you are trying to access the site using "https://" rather than "http://".

3. **Clear Browser Cache:** Sometimes, cached data can cause issues. Clear your browser cache and cookies and try again.

4. **Disable Extensions:** Disable any browser extensions that may affect network requests, then retry the connection.

5. **Check Date and Time Settings:** Ensure that your computer's date and time are correct, as incorrect settings can impact SSL validation.

6. **Use Temporary Bypass (Not Recommended):** If you're sure the website is safe, you can try accessing it with settings adjusted in Chrome, but this is not generally recommended due to security risks.

7. **Contact the Website Owner:** If the problem is with a specific website, reaching out to their support team can help you find out if they are aware of the issue and if they have a fix.

If the error persists and affects multiple sites, it may be worth checking for updates to your operating system and browser or looking into more advanced troubleshooting steps.
User: also getting this in curl: ❯ curl https://testnet.index.iotexscan.io/ curl: (35) LibreSSL/3.3.6: error:1404B410:SSL routines:ST_CONNECT:sslv3 alert handshake failure 
Assistant:  error message you are seeing in `curl`, specifically `error:1404B410:SSL routines:ST_CONNECT:sslv3 alert handshake failure`, indicates that there is an issue with the SSL/TLS handshake when attempting to establish a secure connection to the specified URL. This can happen due to a few reasons, particularly with the supported SSL/TLS versions and cipher suites between your client (in this case, `curl`) and the server. Here are some potential causes and solutions:

### Possible Causes:
1. **SSL/TLS Version Mismatch:** The server may be set to only accept certain versions of SSL/TLS (e.g., TLS 1.2 or higher) and your `curl` command might be trying to use an older or unsupported version (like SSLv3).

2. **Cipher Suite Incompatibility:** The server and your `curl` client may not have a matching cipher suite for the handshake, leading to the failure.

3. **OpenSSL/LibreSSL Configuration:** Your version of `curl` is using LibreSSL, and there may be limitations or particular configurations that are causing the handshake to fail.

### Solutions:

1. **Specify TLS Version:**
   Use the `--tlsv1.2` or `--tlsv1.3` option with `curl` to force it to use a specific TLS version:
   ```bash
   curl --tlsv1.2 https://testnet.index.iotexscan.io/
   ```
   or
   ```bash
   curl --tlsv1.3 https://testnet.index.iotexscan.io/
   ```

2. **Update `curl` and OpenSSL/LibreSSL:**
   Make sure that you have the latest version of `curl` and the associated SSL library (LibreSSL or OpenSSL). You can typically update them using your package manager, such as:
   ```bash
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade curl
   ```

3. **Check Server's Cipher Suites:**
   If you have control over the server, ensure it supports a wide range of cipher suites and SSL/TLS versions. Tools like [SSL Labs' SSL Test](https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/) can help identify what the server supports.

4. **Verbose Output for Debugging:**
   You can get more detailed output from `curl` by using the `-v` (verbose) flag, which can provide additional insight:
   ```bash
   curl -v https://testnet.index.iotexscan.io/
   ```

5. **Use a Different SSL Library:**
   If your version of `curl` is constrained by using only LibreSSL, consider installing a version of `curl` that uses OpenSSL, if possible. This might provide broader compatibility.

### Final Note:
If you continue experiencing issues despite these suggestions, it might be worthwhile to check the documentation or community forums associated with the server you're trying to reach for any specific configurations or changes they might have made that could affect SSL/TLS connections.
User: how to make this human readable: new Date().toISOString() new Date().toISOString()
User: when using generics in function, it's typical to name one type T, but what if there is another, what letter I should pick?
Assistant:  using generics in functions, it's common to name the first type parameter `T`, and if you have multiple generic types, you typically use other letters to distinguish the additional types. Here are some common conventions:

1. **S**: This is often used as the second generic type, following `T`. 

2. **U**: This is frequently used for a third generic type.

3. **V**, **W**, etc.: You can continue with the alphabet if more types are added.

4. **Descriptive Names**: For clarity, especially if the types represent different concepts, you might want to use more descriptive names like `K` for a key or `V` for a value (often used in mappings or key-value pairs).

### Example
```typescript
function exampleFunction<T, S>(param1: T, param2: S): [T, S] {
    return [param1, param2];
}
```
In this example:
- `T` is the first type parameter.
- `S` is the second type parameter.

Using descriptive names helps improve the readability of your code, particularly if the types serve specific functions or roles. Just choose letters or names that maintain readability and appropriately represent the types' intended use.
User: I'm having hard time working with k9s. For some reason it just gives me this error: ❯ k9s Error: [list] access denied on resource "pinax-kg":"v1/pods" 
Assistant:  error message you're encountering in `k9s`—"access denied on resource 'pinax-kg':'v1/pods'"—indicates that your user account does not have the necessary permissions to access or list the pods in the `pinax-kg` namespace. This can happen for several reasons, typically related to your Kubernetes role-based access control (RBAC) settings. Here’s how you can diagnose and resolve the issue:

### Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. **Check Your Current Context:**
   Ensure that you are operating in the correct Kubernetes context. You can check your current context by running:
   ```bash
   kubectl config current-context
   ```
   If it’s not the desired context, switch to the appropriate one using:
   ```bash
   kubectl config use-context <desired-context>
   ```

2. **Verify Namespace:**
   Confirm that you are trying to access the correct namespace. If you need to specify a namespace when using `k9s`, make sure you’re in the correct one or explicitly set it via the command line or within `k9s`.

3. **Check Role Bindings:**
   Use the following command to see what roles are assigned to your user in the `pinax-kg` namespace:
   ```bash
   kubectl get rolebindings -n pinax-kg
   ```
   If you don’t see a role that grants access to pods or if your user is not listed, you might need to either create a role binding or update the existing one.

4. **Inspect your Permissions:**
   To understand what access your user has, you can run the following:
   ```bash
   kubectl auth can-i list pods -n pinax-kg
   ```
   This will let you know if your user is permitted to list pods in that namespace.

5. **Create a Role or ClusterRole:**
   If you don’t have the necessary permissions, you may need to create a `Role` with the appropriate permissions, such as:
   ```yaml
   apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
   kind: Role
   metadata:
     namespace: pinax-kg
     name: pod-reader
   rules:
   - apiGroups: [""]
     resources: ["pods"]
     verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
   ```

6. **Bind the Role to Your User:**
   After creating a Role, you can bind it to your user or group using a `RoleBinding`:
   ```yaml
   apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
   kind: RoleBinding
   metadata:
     name: read-pods
     namespace: pinax-kg
   subjects:
   - kind: User
     name: <your-username>  # Change this to your actual username
     apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
   roleRef:
     kind: Role
     name: pod-reader
     apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
   ```

7. **Check for Network Policies:**
   If your cluster is using Network Policies, ensure that there aren't any policies that prevent your user from accessing the resources. 

8. **Consult with Your Cluster Administrator:**
   If you’re still having trouble, it might be a good idea to consult with your Kubernetes administrator, as they can provide insight into permissions and roles set up in your environment.

After taking these steps, you should either have the needed permissions to list the pods or have a better understanding of why you’re receiving the access denied error. If you need further assistance or clarifications, feel free to ask!
User: but I don't want to list pods in this namespace. I just want to see namespaces in mar-dev1 cluster
Assistant:  you want to view the namespaces in your `mar-dev1` cluster but are encountering permission issues with `k9s`, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this.

### Steps to View Namespaces in `k9s`

1. **Check Your Current Context:**
   First, make sure you are in the correct Kubernetes context. You can check this by running:
   ```bash
   kubectl config current-context
   ```
   If it doesn't list the `mar-dev1` cluster, switch to the correct context:
   ```bash
   kubectl config use-context mar-dev1
   ```

2. **Check Namespace Access:**
   After switching to the correct context, you can check if you have permission to view namespaces. Use the following command:
   ```bash
   kubectl get namespaces
   ```
   This command should display a list of namespaces if you have the appropriate permissions.

3. **Use k9s to View Namespaces:**
   When you're in `k9s`, use the following command to switch to the namespaces view:
   - Simply type `:namespace` and press `Enter`.
   This will display the namespaces available in your cluster. If you encounter an access denied error here, it indicates permission issues at the cluster level.

4. **Check Your Role and Permissions:**
   If you cannot see the namespaces, your user may not have the necessary permissions to list them. You can check what permissions your role has using:
   ```bash
   kubectl auth can-i list namespaces
   ```
   If you receive a response indicating "no," you may need to request additional permissions from your cluster administrator.

5. **Consult Cluster Administrator:**
   If you're unable to list namespaces due to permission issues, reach out to your Kubernetes administrator or DevOps team. They can grant the necessary permissions to your user account, typically through a `ClusterRole` and `ClusterRoleBinding` setup.

### Summary
To view the namespaces in the `mar-dev1` cluster, ensure you are using the correct context, and check your permissions to list namespaces. If you face permission issues, consult with the cluster administrator for access. Let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance!
User: Yes, kubectl works without issues and it lists all the namespaces, include pinax-etherscan-proxy that I want to view. But when I run "k9s" it just throws and error panic: [list] access denied on resource "pinax-kg":"v1/pods" . But I don't even want to vew these pods!
Assistant:  you're able to list all the namespaces successfully with `kubectl`, but `k9s` is throwing a panic error related to accessing pods in the `pinax-kg` namespace, there are a few potential causes and troubleshooting steps you can take:

### Why `k9s` Might Be Throwing This Error

1. **Default View Setting**: When you start `k9s`, it may automatically attempt to load certain resources, such as pods in a specific namespace. If you don’t have access to those resources, the application may panic and throw an error.

2. **Cached Configuration**: `k9s` may have cached previous state or settings that are affecting its behavior.

### Solutions to Try

1. **Specify the Namespace in `k9s`:**
   You can explicitly set `k9s` to view the `pinax-etherscan-proxy` namespace, skipping the problematic `pinax-kg` namespace. To do this:
   - Launch `k9s`.
   - Press `:`, followed by `namespace pinax-etherscan-proxy`, then press `Enter`. This should focus all operations in that namespace.

2. **Restart `k9s` with No Previous Context:**
   If the panic error persists, try restarting `k9s` in a way that it doesn’t look for the previous state. You can do this by clearing any existing configurations from `~/.k9s` (you may want to backup this folder first):
   ```bash
   mv ~/.k9s ~/.k9s-backup
   ```
   Then restart `k9s.

3. **Upgrade `k9s`:**
   Make sure you are using the latest version of `k9s`. Upgrade it, as there may be bug fixes or changes in newer versions that address this issue.

4. **Check `k9s` Configuration:**
   Open the `k9s` configuration file, typically located at `~/.k9s/config.yml`, and check for any settings that might default to loading resources you don’t have access to. Adjust any relevant settings as needed.

5. **Ignore Warning Messages:**
   If `k9s` continues to panic but still shows some menus, you may also try navigating to a different resource type (like namespaces) directly. 

6. **Check Logs for More Information:**
   You can also check for logs or more detailed error messages from `k9s`. Depending on your setup, logs can sometimes offer insight into what is going wrong.

### Consult the Community or Documentation

If the issue remains unresolved after trying these steps, consider checking:
- The [k9s GitHub repository](https://github.com/lensapp/k9s) for issues similar to yours or to report your error.
- The k9s [Documentation](https://k9scli.io/) for updated guidelines or configuration tweaks.

Following these steps should help you troubleshoot the panic error in `k9s` and allow you to focus on the namespaces you want to view. If you have any more questions or if the issue persists, feel free to ask!
User: are you dumb? I said I can't run "k9s". It panics right away!
Assistant:  apologize for misunderstanding your issue. If `k9s` panics as soon as you launch it, it indicates a deeper problem possibly related to the configuration or the underlying setup. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot:

### Steps to Troubleshoot k9s Panic Error

1. **Check Installed Version of k9s:**
   Ensure you have the latest version of `k9s` installed. You can check the current version with:
   ```bash
   k9s version
   ```
   If it's outdated, update to the latest version.

2. **Back Up and Reset k9s Configuration:**
   Since you cannot get into `k9s` at all, consider renaming or backing up the `.k9s` configuration folder:
   ```bash
   mv ~/.k9s ~/.k9s-backup
   ```
   This action forces `k9s` to create a new configuration upon startup.

3. **Run k9s with Specific Namespace:**
   If you can't access the application due to the panic, you can try running:
   ```bash
   k9s --namespace pinax-etherscan-proxy
   ```
   This explicitly sets the namespace and may bypass the issues related to the pods in the `pinax-kg` namespace.

4. **View Logs for More Insights:**
   If possible, check the logs generated by `k9s` for more context. By default, logs may be located under `~/.k9s/logs`. This could provide more detailed information about what causes the panic.

5. **Clear Cache or Dependencies:**
   There might be cached states from previous `k9s` sessions causing it to fail. You can remove or back up the caches located in `~/.k9s`, and `~/.kube` if relevant.

6. **Check for Known Issues:**
   Look for issues in the official [k9s GitHub repository](https://github.com/lensapp/k9s/issues). Other users may have encountered and resolved similar issues.

7. **Seek Help Online:**
   If none of these methods work, consider posting on forums like StackOverflow or the `k9s` GitHub issues page with specific details of the error you encounter when starting `k9s`. Include any log messages you found.

8. **Reinstall k9s:**
   As a last resort, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling `k9s` to ensure there are no corrupted files causing the panic.

### Summary
Your `k9s` instance panicking on startup indicates an issue related to configuration or permissions. By resetting the configuration, checking logs, and ensuring the latest version of `k9s`, you can often resolve this. If problems persist, engaging with the community may yield further solutions. If you have additional details or logs you can share, I’d be glad to assist further!
User: what's H160 in the context of crypto
Assistant:  the context of cryptocurrency and blockchain, **H160** refers to a specific format for representing a hashed public key. It is derived from the SHA-1 hashing algorithm applied to an extended public key.

Here's a breakdown of what H160 entails:

1. **SHA-1 Hashing**: H160 is a method that applies the SHA-1 hashing algorithm to a public key or a hash of a public key. This results in a fixed-size output of 160 bits (20 bytes).

2. **Hex Format**: The result of the H160 hashing process is often represented as a hexadecimal string. This hex string is typically used in various cryptographic operations, such as generating addresses for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and others.

3. **Use in Addresses**: In Bitcoin specifically, the H160 value is an integral step in creating a Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) address. Specifically, the H160 hash is combined with other components (like a version byte and a checksum) to create a complete Bitcoin address.

4. **Application in Other Cryptocurrencies**: While the term H160 is commonly associated with Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies that use similar public key hashing techniques for address generation may also reference H160 in their documentation or technical discussions.

### Example in Bitcoin Address Generation:

- You start with a public key.
- Apply the SHA-1 hashing function to obtain the H160 hash.
- Convert this H160 hash into a format suitable for use in transaction signing and addressing.

It’s worth noting that because SHA-1 is not considered secure against certain cryptographic attacks, newer cryptocurrencies may utilize stronger hash functions (like SHA-256 or others) instead of H160.

If you have any further questions or need clarification on specific aspects, feel free to ask!
User: show me an example
Assistant: ! Here’s a step-by-step example of how H160 is used in generating a Bitcoin address from a public key. We’ll create a simplified flow of the process:

### Example: Generating a Bitcoin Address Using H160

1. **Generate a Public Key:**
   Let's assume you've generated a public key. It might be in the form of hexadecimal:

   ```
   Public Key (hex): 04b0bd634234abdd8265d99f7b1b65b4f30c3c688c7a6d2ef4c70bcd7e8bf48e0ab1508a71e0cc80d4fba7d059b27aae79a4a694ef24a02d99720771f520e250b
   ```

2. **Compute the SHA-256 Hash:**
   First, apply the SHA-256 hashing function to the public key.

   ```plaintext
   SHA-256("Public Key") = 6c6c26cb5e597824e3d632f4a8a0c36d6b8dcfdb69d17f03386cce10f250c74a
   ```

3. **Compute the RIPEMD-160 Hash (H160):**
   Next, apply the RIPEMD-160 hashing function to the result from the SHA-256 hash to get the H160 hash:

   ```plaintext
   H160("SHA-256 Output") = 7c3c6c4abcba80c6dd804bff18e85b485b48590b
   ```

   This is the 20-byte output that corresponds to the H160 hash.

4. **Prepare the Bitcoin Address:**
   To create a Bitcoin address, follow these steps:

   - **Add Version Byte:** Prepend \x00 (which indicates it's a regular Bitcoin address) to the H160 output.
   
     ```plaintext
     Version + H160 = 00 + 7c3c6c4abcba80c6dd804bff18e85b485b48590b
     ```

   - **Compute Checksum:**
     To generate the checksum, you perform the SHA-256 hash twice on the result of the version + H160:

   ```plaintext
   Double SHA-256("00" + H160) = 7f8a0f09e47f9942e4b0115e4c3759c1c3b107d5f4e44af51d7ab29094e59c32
   ```

   The checksum consists of the first 4 bytes of this result:

   ```plaintext
   Checksum = 7f8a0f09
   ```

   - **Finalize the Bitcoin Address:**
     Concatenate the version + H160 with the checksum:

     ```plaintext
     Bitcoin Address = 00 + 7c3c6c4abcba80c6dd804bff18e85b485b48590b + 7f8a0f09
     ```

5. **Convert to Base58Check Format:**
   The final step is to convert the byte array into a Base58Check encoded address. This results in a Bitcoin address that is user-friendly.

The final Bitcoin address could look something like:

```
1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
```
(Note: The above address is a well-known example and not the one derived from the sample public key provided; it showcases the format of a Bitcoin address.)

### Summary
In summary, the H160 process involves applying the RIPEMD-160 hash to a SHA-256 hash of a public key, and it's a crucial step in generating a Bitcoin address. If you have any further questions or another aspect you'd like to explore, feel free to ask!
