asciilifeform: actually this is well-known

asciilifeform: once in a while a high-res scan turns up.

asciilifeform: as for the 7gb films, they are not entirely an abuse, 650MB warez gives compression artifacts the size of a palm when watched on projector screen. the fact that nobody's made a film worth watching in ages, is separate issue.

asciilifeform: many years later i saw the uncut versions and meh

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: it was, evidently, one of those 'everyone who wants, already has' affairs.

asciilifeform: when i was writing http://www.loper-os.org/?p=568 , it took me surprising amount of sweat to track down a working copy of hypercard

asciilifeform: suspected so.

asciilifeform: these were ~nonexistent on warez, and i never had the machine. so it was complete mystery.

asciilifeform: for the 68k, or ppc macs.

asciilifeform: i still wonder re the lost world of mac warez. were there significant gamez?

asciilifeform: for years had no idea that such a thing as voice tracks ever existed in, e.g., the sierra games.

asciilifeform: though i did play these same rips from warez leeched via 9600baud modem.

asciilifeform: no, i did not live to see this in person.

asciilifeform: aah the cd equiv. of those white vhs tapes.

asciilifeform: 'shovelware bin' in comp shop.

asciilifeform: actually met these, but in usa.

asciilifeform: Full Of Treasures.

asciilifeform: aha i left when 'mystery disk' was a 5inch floppy that elder brother would bring home from chum's house.

asciilifeform: ( recall when i suggested to distribute trb+buildroot+gcc et al. on a cdrom. )

asciilifeform: and incidentally this may very well include usa in not too distant future, and these disks -- will come back

asciilifeform: but can picture that in orclands with poor net pipe they might circulate on disks to this very day

asciilifeform: lulzily, i never held in my hands a physical cd with any of these

asciilifeform: 'here kid, have a harmless demil'd toy'

asciilifeform: Old Hax behave like fpga docs etc.

asciilifeform: aaaha right next to 'blue box' schematic

asciilifeform: (at one point u.s. mint ~did~ have a service where you could order dollar coins via the post, paying with cc. it led to a mass chumping of cc banks that offered 'x% back!', until the hole was plugged.)

asciilifeform: lolno, only for langley.

asciilifeform: (my first encounter with this, was many years, as a boy, i went on a tour of the u.s. mint, back when they gave tours, and they had a souvenir shop where you could buy shredded benjies by the kilogram)

asciilifeform: certifiably ~useless.

asciilifeform: phf: more or less. sorta like Officially Declassified usgolade.

asciilifeform: http://dual-alex.narod.ru/3310inside.html << machine-readable ver.

asciilifeform had no idea this existed

asciilifeform: for the original

asciilifeform: http://www.freeavatars.50webs.org/3310-PCB-OPEN.jpg << oh hah, complete docz

asciilifeform: (the 68k, in particular, is ~only~ sold by freescale, and at screamingly usgistic price)

asciilifeform: because -- elementarily -- the original components are no longer available.

asciilifeform: (the one where there is a GHz arm, running shitlinux, and inside it, emulator of the original 68k calc)

asciilifeform: i'd bet that the 'reprinted' nokia will resemble that ti calculator

asciilifeform: google fails unsurprisingly: https://translate.google.com/#ru/en/%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%89%D0%B5

asciilifeform: handle

asciilifeform: for the axe

asciilifeform: nfi. but i was under impression that folx expected to piss back, do not get pissed on in this way.

asciilifeform: elsewhere in lulzdom, http://archive.is/Evns5 << mr.t's bank publicly pisses on him

asciilifeform: ( see also http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-14#1613822 . ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: aha. and 'certificate pinning'.

asciilifeform: '...the software, available for iOS and Android, basically uses the OpenPGP standard to perform public-private cryptography, uses AES for ephemeral per-message encryption, and exchanges public keys between users via TLS connections with certificate pinning.'

asciilifeform: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/02/15/white_house_drama_and_confide_app << another lulzie from same rag, re a fauxpgp supposedly used by 'white house staffers'

asciilifeform: (ru has the word, en -- not)

asciilifeform: afaik you don't

asciilifeform: ( http://archive.is/6ZC1X )

asciilifeform: 'predicted'

asciilifeform: to give to a bunch of techies."'

asciilifeform: 'Security expert and doomsayer Bruce Schneier – speaking by video owing to RSA Conference commitments in San Francisco and perhaps prescience with regard to seasonal travel challenges – predicted that the government is coming to handcuff coders. "We all had this special right to code the world as we saw fit," said Schneier. "My guess is we're going to lose that right, because it's too dangerous ☟︎

asciilifeform: in other lulzies,

asciilifeform: advanced starvation is probably difficult to distinguish from organic retardation yes

asciilifeform: like eating mud in the culturalrevolution

asciilifeform: both starvation behaviour

asciilifeform: i dun see a massive diff b/w trying to use chicken as fuckhole and as 'companion'

asciilifeform: aah

asciilifeform: elaborate?

asciilifeform: waiwat they actually put'em on?

asciilifeform: i'd much rather see retarded folx make hats for cats, endearingly harmless , than to shit into the net, imho

asciilifeform: always assumed that they are slaves in some phb office, redditing when boss not looking

asciilifeform: actually i have almost nfi re who these are or how

asciilifeform: i have definitely seen proper bums with phone here in my monkeystan. so this is solid.

asciilifeform: so wai not phone

asciilifeform: they did have mains current, neh

asciilifeform: i assumed they had cut into a line...

asciilifeform: 0ads

asciilifeform: that somebody, somewhere, endures the ads, is brain-melting

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-16#1614456 << you patch it, like literate people; or pay the extra 10bux, like chump ☝︎

asciilifeform: balloon ballast?

asciilifeform: i'd guess that if he doesn't end on a meathook, it is because he is willing to follow instructions.

asciilifeform is simple man.

asciilifeform: meathooks.

asciilifeform: how many judges removed by mr.t to date ?

asciilifeform: trinque: the correct response would be top 500 of cia org chart found hanging on meat hooks. and afaik no report of this. ☟︎

asciilifeform: 'institutional integrity' folx : 1. mr.t : 0. so far.

asciilifeform: the last d00d who has this problem, AND solved it 100% -- was stalin. in '37.

asciilifeform: '“This is not about who won the election. This is about concerns about institutional integrity,” said Mark Lowenthal, a former senior intelligence official.'

asciilifeform: for 'special investigatory commission' to remove.

asciilifeform: i'd picture that he is next 'ru stooge' then.

asciilifeform: vizier -- thrown to the vultures.

asciilifeform: but they pulled on his balls -- and afaik they came right off.

asciilifeform: theoretically.

asciilifeform: in other lelz, https://archive.is/TanpJ >> 'U.S. intelligence officials have withheld sensitive intelligence from President Donald Trump because they are concerned it could be leaked or compromised, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.'

asciilifeform: incidentally i realized that, sadly, trb will need a (simple) patch in order to link via 'g'. from simple fact that, by default, it does not like to connect to 127.0.0.1:weirdport

asciilifeform: worx wonders.

asciilifeform: btw folx, don't forget about my handy aws-banhammertron.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they run enough nodes to be palpably annoying.

asciilifeform: also note that if you built with malleus patch, you will be kickbanning prb peers as soon as they disgorge a prbism of any kind (e.g., 'bloom filter' command)

asciilifeform: mod6: that'd be the other kind of blackhole, aha.

asciilifeform: (if answer is no --> thing is choking on long-verify-and-dud blox from somewhere. find out from where.)

asciilifeform: hanbot: first apply the basic litmus: does the thing eat rpc commands while blackholed ?

asciilifeform: firstthingsfirst.

asciilifeform: gotta legalize antigrav first

asciilifeform: largely identical pyramids.

asciilifeform: american 'academia' and 'business' differ only cosmetically

asciilifeform: ~all adventurers are 'second sons', i thought this was elementary
