asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779772 << i have 3 boxes prepared for bisp under s.nsa banners ; 1 is dulap-III , which is 'endisked', en-FG'd, and crated for its journey; 2 want disks; if mircea_popescu has specific config he wants for #2 and #3, or to obtain moar , gpggram. ☝︎
asciilifeform: privmsg worx better than email

xahlee: haven't had for a while. last time was some year ago, oh signing emacs shit
xahlee: haven't had a gpg key... will take me a while to readup again

xahlee: yes, that i knew, recently saw u guy's chat. :D
xahlee: i thought asciilifeform the handle is familiar but forgot where
mircea_popescu: (i'm aware everyone derps about "DANGERS", but seems to me very much a case of photographed box)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779437 << why woulkd you cut that ? consider you like something in the vein of http://trilema.com/wp-content/themes/trilema/images/ ; am i to not do this anymore now ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (all kidding aside, can and has bought dried coca leaves in a box. looks just like ordinary tea. five bux."

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779434 << i sent gabriel laddel some coca leaves tea, we see. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: even leaving aside the "argentine peso, 8.35 to the dollar according to "independent" govt banks, 27 to the dollar when mp sells it", colombia : 2750ish official, 3100 real.
mircea_popescu: their currencies are about as stable wrt to the dollar as the dollar is stable wrt bitcoin. it is not physically possible to have anything like a meaningful price in spanish.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 15:49 asciilifeform: and imho selling 10+ yr old server, prolly complete with fan dust cake, for 'you must ask for quote!' takes some cheek.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779430 << the fundamental point you elide here is that FG is one step away from selling in the same fashion, for the exact same reason. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "la democracia es el unico regimen que protege y promoueve la libertad" and so on, the wall hadn't even fallen yet exposing the fundamental inadequacy of all socialisms in the process, whether roosevelt style or not.
mircea_popescu: "here's what your fashions were three decades ago, dear european masterfriend. i hope you are very much impressed with how up to date we are here in $shithole! just like real people rite ???"
mircea_popescu: materials aren't even the whole point, they do the same thing with ideas. much like there hasn't existed a mind in kentucky that didn't live out of re-purposing stuff spewed forth from tv since at least 1960, similarily there hasn't existed a mind in uruguay whose production didn't entirely consist of revomit a la http://trilema.com/2017/in-case-you-were-wondering-where-all-the-worthless-nuland-drones-ended-up/
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 15:39 asciilifeform: it is also possible that this is one of those orcistans where there is not such a thing as a scrapyard, errything gets picked up by scavengers and reused same day
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779424 << i entirely expect this. it helps to think of all of orclands, which is to say all asia, africa and south/central america as nations of scavengers with a thin layer of aspierational idiots approximately floating atop it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo pardon my thickness, where do you want qntra ns pointed again ? ideally in the format ns1= ns2= ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when's your visit there scheduled ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 15:37 BingoBoingo: Still, they get an email along the lines of "I am scaling up my business here in Uruguay and need a bunch of 1U server boxes. What can you get as whole computers or empty cases?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 15:05 asciilifeform: ave1: and plz post the output of gnat -v .
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779409 << this should prolly be standard preface of ada behaviour discussions ; ffa or non-ffa related. asciilifeform maybe you should add it as a comment you know ? at the top of the pile, "if anything's strange say @me in #trilema, please preface the saying with and-here's-my-grep-v" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779400 << adds them as functions anyway, "for debugging" or somesuch. can't say it's necessarily a bad idea. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 17:19 mp_en_viaje: they're not DOING anything ; just trying to LOOK A CERTAIN WAY, with a minimum of expenditure.
asciilifeform: 'hey whaddayamean the-header-but-with-added-colour-and-styling ain't docs'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: consider also, the marvel from the other end of the idiocy stick, the 'autogenned docs'
asciilifeform actually and largely because of this sits ~allday and actually 'read mov push pop etc'
mircea_popescu: technical writing by highschool graduates reads shockingly similar to legal writing by highschool graduates.
mircea_popescu: "read the manual!!!"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: microshit docs are already pretty close to this.
mircea_popescu: there you will sit, in the not so distant future, trying to figure out what the fuck $item, $tool, $whatever does, with two options before you : a) read mov push pop etc ; b) read "It`d be advisable to will mainly because that maybe what it's actually."
a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 17:17 a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 16:49 phf: etc. but the most pantsuit aspect of this situation? the infamous well written freebsd documentation is not up to date to any of these new improvements.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i hope it's clear where i'm headed with this : brace yourselves for the future of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-31#1778943 ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2013-11-02 00:07 asciilifeform: when i read these pitches, i can't help but recall: "...Filtration System A Marvel to Behold! It Removes Eighty Percent of Human Solid Waste!"
asciilifeform: pumping systems adequate particulars in the create appliance >> oblig >> http://btcbase.org/log/2013-11-02#365844 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, this looks like it's actually somehow siphoning context words from google then tries to spin them into its paste.
asciilifeform: involves codes so that you hard work << bahahaha gold
mircea_popescu: es not have to hold back until their printing service ends, an equivalent option using electronic poker action.
mircea_popescu: anges, computers can do well whatever you decide and receive. You can begin you operating, give time to dash, following get going a further and it doesn't involve interfering with the entire process of the upfront just one particular.

mircea_popescu: bility. To describe, think of the video poker via the web gadget as an effective Laptop or computer. It`d be advisable to will mainly because that maybe what it's actually. Obtain the laptop or computer you operate at home or school. It is set to run particular type of undertakings. Typically the gear perhaps there is, on the other hand involves codes so that you hard work. It really is you install program. Around explained r
mircea_popescu: The exact micro-chip carries a great impact if perhaps you will be a winner or perhaps a non-winner throughout texas holdem video. The method locations you within the fretting hand will be of value, even now, content material micro-chip commonly known as all of the RNG (Occasional Total Traffic generator) which gives the necessary steps for a professional to manipulate the exact cunning participate in and even botch the possi
mircea_popescu: and in other adaptive lulz, we find in the spampile :
asciilifeform: this afaik is new. ( 'slowbanning' was a thing in redditland, but iirc nobody had outright 'timeout' ban )
mircea_popescu: i expect they hit their genuine lusers with it about 99x more frequently, but that's just a hunch.
mircea_popescu: part of the extensive package of verbal spin and idle posturing post mp-raped-us 2015 festival, they introduced a "your cat may have walked on your keyboard and you can not log into your account for one week now, you know, for security" item.
mircea_popescu: no, you won't believe this shit :
mircea_popescu: oh the bot. it got iced once for one week in the intervening... i dun even recall, quarter or two
asciilifeform: 'was unmolested for the interval' suggests that at one time or another it had been molested
mircea_popescu: you'll have to tell me what it consists of ? what are you asking ?
asciilifeform: how often it gets molested ( and what does this consist of ) ?
mircea_popescu: in other "i'm back here let's check things", teh fetlife bot has been going unmolested for the interval. it must suck to work for these website-business-technologies.
mircea_popescu: really clicking "spam" a dozen times is not much of a hassle here.
mircea_popescu looked out of curiosity. in the intervening ~week, trikema spam thingee canned 836 comments, has doubts about 11 and disconnected outright before "put in comment" phase about 1/4 mn attempts.
mircea_popescu: done for now. item worked quite well for the purpose, huh.
mircea_popescu: hey there.
asciilifeform: in other experiments, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767440 appears to hold true across all ffa chapters. ☝︎
asciilifeform: but we can come back to this laters.
BingoBoingo: Third picture with the sad lawn is where they are prepping to build a generic WTC tower 5
BingoBoingo: But they are expanding the border wall separating the Free Zone from Uruguay in order to build a second tower there.
BingoBoingo: I will have to dig that up, but it is not trivial and requires having a foreign corporation in the loop somewhere. Perhaps someone with a corp that is offshore to Uruguay can inquire? Depends on the revenue reported and a whole bunch of other miscellanea. ☟︎
asciilifeform: what's that cost ?
BingoBoingo: Second photo looking is looking in the opposite direction from the same spot. That tower is the WTC FreeZone where you gotta pay a user fee to get in. May the ISP grow big enough to escape VAT thusly.
BingoBoingo: ^Ah, the link
BingoBoingo: And for a closer view from my early eyes here, the tower we are concerned with is the fellow to the left in this first picture. The steel and glass fellows in the center are towers 1-3 in no particular order and the brick guy to the right is the southwest corner of Montevideo Shopping.
BingoBoingo: And there tends to be very little cloudcover in the afternoons here.
BingoBoingo: I suspect it could be the air quality here. Very little air polution, especially of the particulate variety.
BingoBoingo: Burn's not quite the right word for my experience with it. More like a slow cooking. But some of the Brasileros even get sunburn. Especially as they head further out east to Rocha. One brasilero came back this week from there with profound sunburn.
asciilifeform: to this day i have nfi why.
asciilifeform: in buenos aires, oddlyenuff, could walk all day in the sun, 0 creams, no hat, 0 burn.
asciilifeform: but that's at usa latitude
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's skin normally has same exposure timing as daguerre's photoplate. 20min and it's cooked
BingoBoingo: Hence the chosen angle of the face. My nose is a solar concentrator.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-12 23:47 asciilifeform recalls c3 and ~week spent in the sun, and 0 burn
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The beard was longer before the trendy Latino haircut. Then I had to take it down to match.
BingoBoingo: Not of the cage yet (hopefully acquire a box to take there Monday), just of my berth and my person.
BingoBoingo: ^ Two photos, the opening up begins!

phf: content-type is a meaningless header, since that's up to client to decide anyway (and it's frequently misconfigured), all the other headers are straight up metadata fluff. ☟︎
trinque: the various attempts at "cuntoo" have sputtered for precisely that reason, buckstoppoints are arbitrary in hell
phf: we can reduce everything to just get requests (cut the headers, too, except for Content-Length), where ranges are done by "/downloads?file=...&start=...&end" ☟︎
trinque: sure, I don't think there's a republican http any more than there's a republican linux
phf: these are silly criteria for protocol ~design~, because the absolute "if we don't have it we'll die" wartime mentality lets you make infinite circles in a turing complete situations. ascii wants the buck to stop at range, i want to stop it at head, it's an arbitrary decision
trinque: if can't get 'em by themselves at all, another question
trinque: if talking about denoting "get headers only" a different way, it's hard to say that loses anything.
asciilifeform: and it also has to be 'then WE would lose', because if it's 'heathen derps will lose', than guess how many fucks i give.
asciilifeform: the right hand of this syllogism has in turn two clauses, 'NO sane way' and 'xyzpqr are Important'
asciilifeform: and recall, we (hypothetically) are making a ~server~, not a client. so i'm looking for argument like 'if we lose HEAD, there is then NO sane way to do xyzpqr , where xyzpqr are Important and Useful Things'
asciilifeform: phf: i believe it. and even believe that phf saw it. was curious where , exactly, is all.
phf: asciilifeform: one data point is that in e.g. nginx max_ranges is a parameter, which can be explicitly set to 0 to disable ranges, and if you search for it you get "how do i disable ranges" q's presumably by people configuring web servers. you don't have an equivalent for HEAD. likewise HEAD is part of the original spec, where's ranges is a later addition. it stands to reason that the number of times range fails would be non 0 even with "modern" setups
trinque: and they did this badly, verbs being nonsensical "programming in plain english"
