asciilifeform: it is only less of a turd than other unix-likes because:
BingoBoingo: joecool: BB9 was perfect for what a person could expect out of a mobile turd os though
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: It's a java turd. I holds keys with decreasing amounts of funds and handles a few adresses funds might still come to.
BingoBoingo: Leveldb google turd does actually seem to be higher performance than the BDB oracle turd, but... yes consequences.
asciilifeform: and why did this have to wait for crackpot to ask for a printed satoshi turd, i wonder.
mike_c: charter ideas: 1) maintain a workable core with no shit in it. 2) specify bitcoin 3) write a new implementation because you can't polish a turd.
mike_c: polish the turd?
ben_vulpes: (as fine as the cpp bitcoin turd can be)
ben_vulpes: no idea what's in the turd.
decimation: that bitcoin-0.1 turd definitely depends on db_cxx.h, which seems to be bdb, but that isn't a full answer
decimation: asciilifeform: is that the 'satoshi' original turd?
mthreat: I can't read Tuur Demester's name without saying it "Turd Meister" in my mind
asciilifeform: decimation: this was the most illiterate possible turd, consisting of entirely unmodified 'putty' with a batch script giving it command line args to create 'ssh tunnel.'
asciilifeform: lengthens turd life
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: virtually the whole of the turdware world has, for some years, been accounted for by cargocult l4m3rs who 'license' a turd (why? because, even building a ready tarball found wherever - is far beyond their intellectual level)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wrote most of that turd in mid-'09
asciilifeform: (turd that was pushed through because note from fellow with note from fellow with note from stalin)
asciilifeform: aha, weird custom-molded turd?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: arc was out ages ago. it was a turd.
asciilifeform: qntra reads just like ordinary newspaper! 'company c now selling turd t.' 'company s having supply chain problems with their shit.' 'politician p derps on topic t.'
asciilifeform: nubbins`: if bought in north america in recent decades - inevitable plastic gears, worthless turd
asciilifeform: there is no concept. the idea of releasing a crypted turd sans key is ancient.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: The nspire uses Arm turd
mircea_popescu: cazalla the point being that it's easier to format/spellcheck a predeturdified turd than to write from scratch
mircea_popescu: being able to take a turd and turn it into readable content within an hour or a day, and being able to so process gigabytes of crud a month is, by itself, more barrier to entry than all the collective "press" has
asciilifeform: http://www.vaikan.com/man-vs-machine << mega-lol. chicom lifted the ancient turd.
mircea_popescu: and you bitch about the pile of turd that's c++/python software built on top of a c os ?
decimation: right, or softcpu with bus turd
asciilifeform: and there is literally no alternative (other than 'altera' - who have a considerably fouler turd)
asciilifeform: so, they'll update a pdf turd.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my turd, if it had a point, mainly had the point of - the grave harm of 'tolerance.'
mircea_popescu: the false dichotomy here being that either you apple (onlt accept stuff we made) or else foss (accept any turd)
asciilifeform: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg33095.html << turd? yes. but here's a little story behind it. think, why would anyone build a device like this?
asciilifeform: a turd is not a sausage, even if you eat with relish.
asciilifeform: ^ original turd on the subject
fluffypony: He's a turd, but a hilarious one
asciilifeform: and - if you don't mask the turd, 'sanitary' gentoo (sans systemd) will indeed pull in udev-systemd by default.
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't give a damn - it was sane before, and is turd-encrusted now in 100 ways
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: before you freeze something, first have to make sure it isn't a turd. (unless stool sample...)
BingoBoingo: Or at least when a turd is newsworth the coverage is free of introducing fresh turds
BingoBoingo: Vexual: Well the point for now is clean stuff. Turd Free.
jurov: heh turd
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this month's turd is mailed.
asciilifeform: the real lulz - idiot lifts ancient material from ru forums, passes it off as fresh turd!
asciilifeform: it is a statement of fact. in that, encountering an animal turd in the forest, you know only approximately what is its composition.
asciilifeform: when people say x86 is a turd - this is more than an aesthetic opinion
asciilifeform: (random turd from net)
decimation: imagine if ios/osx/windows had a new release that was smaller than the previous turd
asciilifeform: Diablo-D3: it downloads a turd, needs space to decompress it
decimation: right, for instance someone in redhat said "yes, let's use poettering's turd in our next distro'
asciilifeform: what can one accomplish on fpga, knowing nothing about your opponent's future purpose for it, with a small turd ?
asciilifeform: so the turd has to be subtle
asciilifeform: before even i forget - kakobrekla, mircea_popescu - where's my lenat turd mirror ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: lol that turd reads like it was a 'mad libs' product << three steps to take to avoid making any sort of meaningful change : a) stick to obama & the libertard's mickey mouse version of "change" ; b) pretend like disaster is unlikely and so the possibility can be safely ignored while it's not happened yet ; pretend it's "overwhelming" as so best ignored as it happens and shortly thereafter ; c) make sure y
asciilifeform: lol that turd reads like it was a 'mad libs' product
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: uploading turd...
mike_c: my point is you can't take existing turd and audit it to security.
asciilifeform: 'positive displacement' here means, easily, that no more turd can emerge from the needle than is actually inside the needle
asciilifeform: http://console-cowboys.blogspot.com/2014/09/arris-cable-modem-backdoor-im.html << not the glorious turd tower that is 'headbash', but still great.
BingoBoingo: Still I lean towards choosing market as a dog turd vendor likely won't last long.
asciilifeform: (note that you could just as easily end up eating a dog turd from the market and a blade of grass from the dump)
asciilifeform: decimation: classic vendor lock-in. disgusting turd.
asciilifeform: mp_colonist: i am very glad they did not fix. relying on black box turd for a critical piece of mechanics was stupid, and it was necessary to pay with suffering for it (did.)
decimation: i bet they will sell you a power5 turd too
asciilifeform: a small aluminum turd.
asciilifeform: in such a way that the turd would interfere with proper operation unless fed the correct magic
asciilifeform: so then final lock was placed as a turd in the fissile core (in fusion nukes, fissile initiator, almost same)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: feed'em something interesting (let's say mismatched delimiters) & then fetch their turd a few msec after.
asciilifeform: they have a 2560 x 1440 glossy, and a 900 line turd.
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: no 'F' keys! what a steaming turd.
asciilifeform: certainly the tabloids would love to print a sensational turd about the sub. but then editor's phone rings, and 'editors can also have problems'
asciilifeform: when i read the 'rebecca' piece, i immediately assumed it was a green hills turd somebody dug up for old time's sake.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bad example, 'pi' is a pseudo-open turd
asciilifeform misses crt, but every time he buys 'amazing!11! well-preserved111! trinitron' - it's a faded turd.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Seems to be the case, except turd prolly wasn't ordered.
BingoBoingo: Turd orderer seems to the the mailman
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: bozo orders $turd, uses 'satoshi' email addr, snore.
decimation: BingoBoingo: pre-bsd mac os was a turd
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: yes, they want to replace init.d scripts with a hearn-style binary turd. surprised ?
mircea_popescu: decimation: to me the obvious use for plastic turd is to make molds for metal pouring << metal pouring is a very iffy proposition tho.
decimation: to me the obvious use for plastic turd is to make molds for metal pouring
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: presently you can do a kind of basic 'iq filter' just by, e.g. ignoring anything whatsoever distributed as an ms-word turd << ya think ?! :D
asciilifeform: presently you can do a kind of basic 'iq filter' just by, e.g. ignoring anything whatsoever distributed as an ms-word turd
asciilifeform: not the phoundation turd
pete_dushenski: ThickAsThieves: and of course, stripe, another yc turd, is behind it
mircea_popescu: now that aside, tor is really not functional, and so yes he has some good points mixed into the turd.
asciilifeform: chetty: the 'lies per kByte' in this turd must be some sort of record.
BingoBoingo: Hard to decentralize mining when few people want to work the turd mines
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But device cost is low and every similar device must be treated as a turd anyways
BingoBoingo: Whole site is a js turd
asciilifeform always imagined that dentures must be serious business in the turd world, but never seen this before.
BingoBoingo: Site isa javascript turd
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was a chicom die-on-pcb turd. no debug outputs; what was inside (other than clearly, a micro with state) only satan knows. so, i never learned.
asciilifeform: many people write, e.g. a 'mips' (or other small instruction set) emulator and cross-compile for it. when you get hold of one of these, you can just extract the turd and disassemble using toolset for that cpu.
asciilifeform: this is the most riotously funny nsa turd yet.
asciilifeform: so now we see that these (likely same, but usg never commissions just one turd of a particular variety) idiots did indeed crap out something like a $1B version of 'ida hexray.'
mircea_popescu: not ;;eauth value of turd
mircea_popescu: you need ;;everify value of turd
Xplosionist: ";;eauth value-of-turd" yields that.
asciilifeform: Xplosionist: the url contains just a random turd, encrypted to your pgp key. gribble wants the value of the turd, when it gets it - you're authed.
