http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815092 << you didn't even give him a workorder yet (
as you don't evne have a sales plan yet) and you want to add incentives to it ? kinda ass-backwards!
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815045 << the make food area incidentally is easy to misjudge. it'll make a world of difference, both in qol and what that qol costs, once you get a proper kitchen going. ideally with womanly help
as i dunno you're that competent. have bread going every other day, have a pot of soup always, the good old strictures of european ie civilised life.
☝︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: great, i mentioned hostingdiscussion.com , webhostingtalk.com, forums.hostsearch.com to you, also warriorforum.com from mircea_popescu's mentions once upon a time. i'll dig up some others
as well.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> yeah, it's fuckin tricky, though. i'm trying to estimate what could reasonably be packed into uy1 from a shared shell and ftp perspective, but i think 20 shell accounts and 100 lower-end ftp-only accounts is probably the max that box can carry without overbooking it, and if we can get to that point within a year i'll be pleased
as punch,
as it'll cover a significant fraction of the whole pizarro operation's << Sweet

ben_vulpes: i'd rather pay increased living costs either
as a flat fee to get into the apartment or monthly on the rental so that you can cook for yourself and get off the street food
mod6: We will still need to increase your overall $1800 per month (or whatever it is, so you can have pants and shoes, etc.), and an apartment was in the discussion
as well.
mod6:
As far
as the 8000 now, this really cuts into our available cash flow. Aside from the plainly stated fact that we then also, aside from paying bills, need to figure out how to translate another ~1 BTC in to USD and then have someone wire/WU it down to you.
mod6: Here's the problem. We obviously need you / want you to stay. I'm told you've been doing a good job there. We have limited money at this time,
as obviously, we just got into business here; and we're still trying to figure out how to get to break-even. I think the 1 BTC at the end of next february is something we can do for ya.
ben_vulpes: does this extend to ftp users
as well?
trinque: all you need is a privesc in one of the services running
as root, or kernel-side bug, or..
a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 14:51 asciilifeform: fact of the matter is that shared unix tenant can create problems for the others ( without necessarily revealing himself
as the source of said problem ) quite trivially . ( vps is moar 'nobus' in this respect, generally the 'escapes' are not public )
mircea_popescu: the search for actually useful local accts specialists
as fruitless
as search for w/e, electronic parts supplioers ?\
BingoBoingo: It's the flyer the government produces
as gringo bait
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: A UY corp would be an actual corp. What I have now,
as discussed previously is a unipersonal, essentially I am a registered person doing business. This means what I do
as the Unipersonal is all personal liability. Corps can receive all kinds of incoming transactions that aren't necessarily "income".
BingoBoingo:
As many contracts etc that we have sitting in my personal name, I am wary of the bus factor (either getting hit by or brain irrecoverably eggog'ing inside of). I have serious reservations for a plan that involves sending scans of my personal non-US identity document to allow someone sitting inside the empire to play trader, if that is what the request is for. I apologize if this is an uncharitable reading, but if you want me to instead
BingoBoingo: I can prepare reports on the local corporate options, and from what I understand asciilifeform is working on a corporate conduit for this sort of transaction
as well.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because "white man" aka esltard won't learn fucking languages, or leave "the country" ie zone. and when he does, he takes care to first arm self with such impenetrable armor of shit-for-brains
as to practically make no possible difference to anyone.
mircea_popescu: if there can even be such a thing
as a goal of human existence, "do not have the problems of the stupid" is a prime candidate.
mircea_popescu: this is then summarized
as "asciilifeform iirc rms really hated noftsker, for some reason", and always in that same format, too, "for some reason". the reason, above : x said something y took somewhere.
mircea_popescu: i suspect, further, that this is traditionally, and nearly universally, the failure mode in "tech" ie computer fabrication and utilization (and thereby may be a major item in say
http://trilema.com/2018/the-symbolics-discussion/ ) : the production of ideal objects involved is so complex, management ends up in info overload and the technologists involved end up misinterpreting the barf
as meaningful ~within their visible edges
mircea_popescu: if they're not out there advertising it
as a srsly, it's utterly not worth our/anyone's time to consider whatever data they have.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm not proposing x.1
as a counterargument of y.2, they're separate trees, and separate trees are reconciled at the roots by a manager.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 06:25 mircea_popescu: mod6, anyway, to answer some angle of the question asked, rather than "the question read between the lines" -- pizarro wirh 8 something btc in cash whatever it is does not specifically require more cash to confront a 1.x expenditure and some months of .5 each overhead or w/e it is. the fact that you two are committed to further putting money in
as need may be is utterly sufficient,
as far
as i can discern. ymmv, but you asked.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 05:56 mircea_popescu: now currently you're engaging in a boatload of pussyfooting around the fact that pizarro doesn't need more capital
as it is ; and the only conceivable function more capital could possibly serve
as things stand is to give you some other excuse to not get sales going.
ave1:
As to this:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-16#1814283. This is all a matter of the specsfile apparently. Now I can do a dumpspec and sed script to make it always do statics, or I can change the source-code that has references to shared/static dispersed over C and H file in the gcc/config/ directory. This will take some time to get right (if the first approach works then I know what to do for the second). This will take some days

☟︎ mircea_popescu: they'll replace you in good time, which is to say if they have to pour more money in at the earliest. but that day's not yet upon you, and until it is, might
as well give it your best shot.
mod6: We just need to keep pressing, not a moment to lose,
as mircea_popescu keeps reminding us.
mod6: We have a variety of urgent matters to address.
As soon
as we get the additional money in place, we can get the new rockchips going. Give BingoBoingo a raise (& new digs?).

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-05-16 16:35 mircea_popescu: so agree that you'll each add another 5btc
as circumstances merit ; then pizarro has all the backing it needs and a clear path to success. and if the circumstances "merit" in the sense that it needs rescuing rather than it's expanding, you can fire the management and get someone else or w/e.
mircea_popescu: mod6, technically you don't have stock
as you're not listed ; but yes, you'd own whatever % regardless.
mod6: For instance, let us use a scenario such
as: asciilifeform puts in X BTC, mod6 matches alf's X BTC (where X <= 5), can this be created
as stock then? In this scenario 500`000 shares would be assigned to alf & mod6 alike. In the circumstance I would put in (10 - X) more BTC, this could be assigned to me
as "convertable bonds". I've been revisiting our conversation from a while back on the Pricing of Capita
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, perhaps should organize a carrying of various spare odds and ends such
as a dc must have on hand but the orcs do not : assorted cables, spare hdds / cards etc.
BingoBoingo: I have heard nothing. Did you simply mail them the scan, or did you accompany it with: With respect to [tracking number] here is the requested document. Considering [whatever prepaid customs program, and Amazon order #], I am confused
as to why this parcel has not been delivered.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, some of the "transferwise" "customers" are evidently into money laundering,
as the entire "service" transparently reeks of. soo... mno.
jurov: transferwise was better than paypal
as they don't hold funds, they send each wire directly to my bank. if i used paypal, they have no problem to seize whole account.
mircea_popescu: to continue
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-16#1814352 : take the nizami story of khosrow (last persian ruler) and shirin (possibly roman princess). not only is it usually rendered in pantsuit retellings
as "farhad and shirin" (farhad being the politruk, modernist element / in his own mind only rival to the king), but the very naive "women get a say, not the natural but the fabricated sort" it's steeped in (written
as it is fi

as part of vtools, but i'm not sure if the slicing is adequate), until i do i don't have a clear idea of how long it's going to take. i m

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-05-16 14:42 asciilifeform: ( retaining some knob for dynamic linkage isn't totally useless, it enables such things
as valgrind ; but i'm quite prepared to lose valgrind, it is not really so necessary when writing asciilifeform-style -- heapless -- ada )
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: i'm not opposed to 2nd round, and would participate, iirc ben_vulpes & mod6 are weighing the numberz even
as we speak. << yeah, we've been talking about this, indeed.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6, you see holes in ye logic ? << Sounds good. I think that s.nsa building the chassis then we do it
as stated is fine. (unless I misunderstand). Pizarro will pay for these in cash. I agree too on staying away from the equity buys
as well.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-16 13:35 asciilifeform:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-16#1814192 << definitely not 28. unless a separate fg-less unit is built, then can hold 32 . and yes i have a cad drawing in progress, so
as to work like men rather than monkeys in africa
mircea_popescu: well one direct solution is to enlarge baloon
as above.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, an' ftr, if your concern is that you're underweight pizarro, you can just
as well do a second round. see if mod6 wants to either a) give it more btc or else b) move into a minority position. pizarro would certainly benefit from a larger piggy giving it more solidity etc, so you can do another 10-20 round either by yourself if mod6 is agreeable or else match together or any which old way. this isn't an u
mircea_popescu: i dunno why i assumed that's the case, but good you said something,
as it'd never have occured to me to ask, either.
mircea_popescu: or else universe 2, whereby chassis for pizarro is produced by you
as free agent. in this world we have to now explain what nsa actually is, which becomes a rather difficult task, and pizarro will have to sell its bonds on market, to whatever discount.
mircea_popescu: practically the situation here is this : we can either live in universe 1, whereby chassis for pizarro is produced by you for nsa, and sold by nsa to pizarro. in this world nsa stays what it always was,
as above, and pizarro can (at practically your option,
as i can go either way) pay with undiscounted bonds for cash-equivalent mateirals ;
mircea_popescu: afaik nsa always was exactly what phf is quoted above
as having understood it is : the umbrella org for your manufactory.
mircea_popescu: if you do it
as "myself" you get whatever chassis cost in btc in your pocket. if you do it
as s.nsa you don't, is the logic ?
mircea_popescu: we were doing that
as an easement, but it's evidently our option neh ?

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-16#1814131 << transport for rockchiptron will be considerably cheaper than 2500,
as i can't picture needing a whole week, nor 400 in overweight charge for the crates
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i have scant interest in current persian. might
as well care about neogreek. to what, to see how they decided to transliterate mcdonalds ?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-14 23:37 mircea_popescu: whole item is about
as anti-modern
as it gets.
mircea_popescu: and yes, this can very well be implemented
as, "overvotlage its power line"
mircea_popescu: but can also be implemented
as a distributed system, ie, EXACTLY LIKE IN PEOPLE.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-21 17:09 mircea_popescu: republican isp = competent sysadmin who handles relationship with multiple dcs in terms of getting hardware installed and refuses any requests made under color of law by the terrorist organisation known
as "the united states government". and publishes them.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-16 09:00 diana_coman: well, I'd rather cross compile too if it works because then I can use the rockchip
as launchpad for everything else, why not
diana_coman: o.O
as much
as I'd like to lose cpp all together and even forget that it ever existed, that's not feasible atm
a111: Logged on 2018-05-16 04:51 mircea_popescu: fwiw, i see the ROC-RK3328-CC at ~40 to maybe
as high
as 55 depending on quantity. 100 in one batch should be about 4000 realistically.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-15 15:37 mod6: ah, maybe that
as for 96. anyway, will wait for ben_vulpes

☟︎ ave1: also you can drop the x86_64,
as you will probably not be cross compiling to x86_64
ave1:
as for the error, can you go to build/build-bootstrap/binutils-2.25.1/build1 and paste the config.log?
