mircea_popescu: i'll be here an hour later. so will be here
the fact
the latter approach is well known and
THOROUGHLY documented
to cause shocking failure in otherwise well meaning, intelligent and respectable kids.
that's ~the whole history of early bitcoin.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i would certainly consider selling ; now
take
the next hour and consider
the matter
THOROUGHLY, before you come back
to promise me
that you're actually acting rationally, rather
than psychotically
trying
to further a dream on
the flimsy fuel of injured self-image.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Understood.
The closest
thing
to rescuing
the situation here is appearing
to be
take on substantially more debt from mircea_popescu while working with
the local mud, and insufficient assurance
the mud can be made baked into bricks. I am willing
to
take on
the debt, but I am now grossly aware I was unprepared intellectually and otherwise. I also see no reason for mircea_popescu
to bleed cash feeding Uruguayos when

mircea_popescu: nevertheless, reality can only be elided at significant personal sacrifice and over short intervals. so,
to repeat it :
there is no future for
the republic without an isp.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: i can follow with
that in mind
the overpoweringly loud "so what if mp said however long ago and it saying it again, my life is my own
to make!!!!" disclaimer going silently with every such statement.
mircea_popescu: i know
there's
this generalized habit
to believe one's "in charge" of "himself" and may permit or not permit reality into his autism bubble as he sees fit and with no further consequences
than whatever he may deign
to allow, such magic powers being
the absolute minimum bar for a special person quite as superbly special as
those bred of postmodernity.
mircea_popescu: more generally : i do not perceive any sort of future for
the republic without an isp.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf feel free
to not use
the plane
tickets you bought, if
that's more convenient.
mircea_popescu: i did
try
throughout, up
to and including yesterday,
to somehow compensate for
the various issues, but eventually
the
time comes for
the observation
that
the situation you created for yourself
there is not actually
tenable. spend your remaining cash on your plane
ticket out, we're putting an end here
to
this well meaning but ultimately ineffectual effort.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: sooo BingoBoingo
there's
two fundamental problems you got
there. one of
them is
that you have significant bills hitting in a few weeks
that you've made no provision for paying.
the other's
that you lack basic physical building blocks, a lack you've made no provision for even discovering in
time.

the day comes
to us from his personal porn star stormy daniels : "She describes walking into his suite at
the Beverly Hills Hotel, for instance. “You could see
the

the little dining room
table and he was watching Shark Week,” she recalled. “And he was watching a special about

the
turd-stain on
the whitey-tighties of his
trinque does not know how
the power dynamics play out among whore
that ascends, and
thus cannot reckon what her hindbrain
tells her she didn't get.
mircea_popescu: i'm confused as whether
this is
the groped staffer
to
the anti-groping campaigner or
the chin-plower sex service dollie
to
the
tan-haired first american or which

that decides she'll have 15min of upboats recounting some mundane
tryst she had with a mediocre man.

BingoBoingo: <shinohai> Do
the locals have bronze-tipped spears at least? << No, but
they have a statue of
the fellow who genocided
their natives in front of
Tres Cruces Shopping/Bus
Terminal.
BingoBoingo: The rest of
the graffiti pics and other sights incidently captured along
the way will be posted later.
BingoBoingo: Almost done putting
the report on
the day
together.
pete_dushenski: is obsessed with sharks.
Terrified of sharks. He was like, ‘I donate
to all
these charities and I would never donate
to a charity
that helps sharks. I hope all
the sharks die.’ He was like riveted. He was like obsessed. It was so strange, I know.”"

BingoBoingo: As I put
this post
togther
the one redeeming
though
that keeps floating
to
the
top of my mind is
that
this place is small enough
that if
The Republic is going
to start subjugating,
this is a rather small and defenseless sandbox
to practice on.
mircea_popescu: the very definition of an orc,
this. one who can subsist on pantsuit diet, one who is satisfied with facebook for his culture and with dellenovo for his hardware and with
the
http://trilema.com/2018/best-of-fetlife-such-as-it-is/ girlies for his amorous needs and so on.
that's what an orc is, what
the fuck else would it be.
BingoBoingo: It
turns out cleaner
tapwater and better food
than old country does not on its own constitute civilization.
BingoBoingo: "Don't flush
toilet paper" is a warning I should have
taken far more seriously.
BingoBoingo: And fuck me, everyone keeps
telling me "Look on Mercado Libre,
they have everything
there" which is only
true if by everything you mean except for civilized life. "Oh, here people just use
the Dell/HP/Lenovo authorized distributors."
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> eam of reports from
there, and would have already been late in
the 2nd week. << I came
to realize
the grave neglect in not doing
this exercise upon arrival rather early in
the day's exercise.
mircea_popescu: eam of reports from
there, and would have already been late in

mircea_popescu: but, for your own notes as well as for
the strengthening of
the public record, let me point out
that
the line "well mp... i have my doubts about
the feasibility of
the plan here ; casual inspection of
the local orc bazaars pompously bestowing upon
themselves
the unearned monicker of 'computer hardware shops' resulted in a grand
total of ONE identified rack, for instance." properly belonged in

BingoBoingo: I return.
The short of
the news is
there is still only one "business"
that had one 2U chassis, and
they have yet
to follow up with a quote for
the rest of
the shopping list. Blog post baking, with pictures from
this cargo cult hell hole.
mircea_popescu: if your kernel is over (iirc 4.8 was it ?), you have
to also nuke
the csprng
thing.
shinohai: Thanks for clarification, I haven't gotten
this deep down
the rabbit hole with mine yet but looking forward.
mircea_popescu: drivers/char/random.c is what needs changing. wipe
the calls
to "add_disk_randomness" and bullshit, replace with your fg feeder.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ideally you want
to kill
the "csprng" altogether and simply feed
the entropy pool.

that gpg sourced entropy from
there
pete_dushenski: lobbes: after reading
through
the logs and seeing
that you'd gone
through exactly
the same
thing, i was mindful
to remove exp from subs
too :)
a111: Logged on 2017-11-08 21:13 lobbes: and yeah, I overlooked
that I apparently had
to also remove expiration on
the sub -explicitly- (via gpg --edit-key). Even
though it was showing
the sub as 'expiration: none' after I had removed expiration on
the pub way back when

☟︎ ben_vulpes: hey, pete_dushenski how didja plug
the fg into
the koch-rsa keygenerator?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes wasn't enough
to actually lose out 2048 bits ; besides, he's using
teh fg i expect ? is he ?
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: you don't want a 4096 bit key; i can't find
the relevant logs at
the moment but koch-rsa does bad shit when generating keys > 2048 bits

the businesses
that weren't yet open
this morning when I first passed
them, and
then
the longer shots... and listening for more referrals. Just might be able
to get
the count up
to 12 cases.
BingoBoingo: I have found 1 (they may have
two more in
their warehouse but
they aren sure of
their condition, but did see one in
the store mounted in a rack
they had on display) 2U rackmount chassis.
They want 246 USD for each 2U case, after
the cash discount.

today. Firm is

to finally get me. Charlotte is supposedly one of
the 'most infected' cities atm, but I've lucked out
thus far
mod6: I
think I'm in
the same boat. Better, but
tired.
shinohai: Feel much better
today, still rather
tired but
that is easily addressed.
pete_dushenski: pretty much. 4 years was 4x as long as i'd held a btc in my own wallet. seemed like
the world was spinning at a million miles a minute for all i knew pgp keys were as disposable as btc addresses

to flail further, how do i update my pubkey ?
trinque ?
mircea_popescu: (in other lulz,
the price of
that
thing went up about 15% since it was first mentioned. hurr durr.)
mircea_popescu: and of course mind
the "limit x per customer" bullshit. and so on.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ct16g3r186dm specifically. it's not simply "ddr 3". it's actually 1866,
these
things matter.
mircea_popescu: all
the cheap heavy shit
that's not really worth courriering.
mircea_popescu: what you want is everything else you might need, other
than boards/cpus/rams/disks.
BingoBoingo: SSD's over 500 GB in size. If
they go in phf's bag Samsung. On my list I am asking every store what
they have if
they have it.
mircea_popescu is
trying not
to
think of
the obvious point
that if he's buying by
the dozen he's supposed
to be getting fucking discounts.
mircea_popescu: (most ssds are 2.5". will you need adaptors ?
THAT sort of
thing)
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> leaving aside we don't even know what disks we're buying. eg,
the rosewill chassis only usefully
takes 3.5 inch ones. << 2.5
to 3.5 shims are on
the list
BingoBoingo: The point is clear. Making a list.
Taking both cameras and extra batteries on
the search.

mircea_popescu: i have no idea where
this cavallier attitude is coming from, but
the only
thing it'll come
to is
tears, if
the point's not well driven home by now.

trinque diana_coman so i'm
thinking of basically getting a dozen amd fx-8350s (because just 125w compared
to say fx-9590s 220) racked in u2 mbs (say maybe ASRock 970M PRO3 ? i
thinkl
that fits in 2u neh ?) with 64 gb ram each and a coupla ssds ? any complaints/suggestions ?
mircea_popescu: nfi how you'll manage
to actually pay for anything locally, seeing how you very indolently allowed yourself
to be painted into
this corner where you have no bank account and can't sell bitcoins, but
that's a problem
to be
tackled later.
