asciilifeform: whole arch was retarded, and born damaged, just about errything you see on top of it, is the top of a series of forced mistakes.
mp_en_viaje: going exactly the wrong way, its like sweeping from the road into the house.
mp_en_viaje: why the everloving fuck would i imagine the solution is for the kernel to choose from a list maintained by the fucking power button
mp_en_viaje: and at every single fucking twist and turn, too. instead of limiting "firmware" to data, to be executed by bios or gtfo, instead let's "virtual machines" and acpi.
mp_en_viaje: "and besides, correct programs can't even be written" "so then why should they be priviledged ?" "no, see, kernel can be correct because fly eyes fly like fruit."
mp_en_viaje: "but mp, our users need to run random code they have no idea about all the time" "no they don't"
asciilifeform: asciilifeform has a whole www about this, lol
mp_en_viaje: this whole "o no mp, but the karnel must have a special place i ncpu" bs. IF IT DOES BAKE IT.
asciilifeform: intel was the king of retardation even in the 16b era. e.g. 68k was sane
asciilifeform: intel arch was a trisomy from day1
mp_en_viaje: there's absolutely no cause oher than historical accident that real ended at 16 bits. ☟︎
asciilifeform: for one thing, bios crapola typically written in classical 16b real.
asciilifeform: there isn't , on x86olade, a 'longer than 16b regs, no segmentation, but no mpu and bios calls work' mode.
mp_en_viaje: and you know, actual men tried to resist this idiocy. all through the 286 era ~nobody used unicodemode bs.
mp_en_viaje: so no, protected mode hasn;'t become because it offered. the pantsuit decided it must be, and therefore prevented the non-mongoloid child from offering. ☟︎☟︎
mp_en_viaje: all the USEFUL features could have existed in real mode branch with a minimum of effort. but they CHOSE to not do this.
asciilifeform: y'know , bios dun have to be written by tards
mp_en_viaje: see ? the original pantsuitism in computers started cca 1985 or so. when they killed the main branch, in order to pretend that the pantsuit branch "has all the features"
mp_en_viaje: "Due to the enhancements added by protected mode, it has become widely adopted and has become the foundation for all subsequent enhancements to the x86 architecture" << FUCKING BULLSHIT.
asciilifeform: oh those still won't work, in shitware bios
mp_en_viaje: i don't want the fucking bs of hey mp we notice your brightness keys do not work would you like to restart the program.
mp_en_viaje: i do not want ANYTHING down the protected mode tree. i want the real mode tree continued. update it for wider busses.
mp_en_viaje: oh these are distinct ?
asciilifeform: orig item had 0 to do with seekoority, but rather with preventing 1 buggy proggy from taking down whole box
mp_en_viaje: ok. you know how computers worked back in the 80s and then some pre-unicode fuckfaces came up with "protected" mode, which was "better" and "upgrade" ?
asciilifeform: which item to throw out. i'ma guess whole mpu.
mp_en_viaje: yes i know, but what'd you have me call the refusal of post 1989 "progress" ?
asciilifeform: the terminology is specific to intel crapola
mp_en_viaje: how about never mind about that and just do a 32bit realmode version, at the hardware level.
asciilifeform: ( you do it once and then forget about the page table )
asciilifeform: you can do similar item in amd64 mode tho, 64bits but you map it all to contiguous addr space, like terry davis did.
mp_en_viaje: has no intrinsic reason to be 16 bit.
asciilifeform: uh realmode is the classical 16bit segmented one
mp_en_viaje: who even signed off on the "we will cease maintaining realmode" doctor's note ?
mp_en_viaje: i do not want this laptop to even fucking have protected mode. protect what from what ? noty, 32bit realmode for the win.
mp_en_viaje: wait, is the "protected" mode how you do the useful things such as you know, rowhammer et all ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: brightness knob on post-2007ish lappy is not properly hardwaristic, demands os support, and only happens to work during boot because still in realmode, and biosism works
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, the problem is that there is not that bar here.

mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-31#1778722 << eh, major international my foot. city run by africans is run by africans is the whole story. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: i would say this is a glorious example of idiocy, imagine, the thing ~would work~ if just left the fuck alone. but smething in boot process fucks up my keys.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, that did nothing ; however the "fn f9 will work during boot only" part is correct -- they do.
asciilifeform: supposedly worx on the ones with intel vga
asciilifeform: in place of the 'vendor' thing
mp_en_viaje: i'd have to recompile ?
asciilifeform: seems to be mentioned in re 'video.use_native_backlight=1' kernel knob
mp_en_viaje: C9K94UC#ABA (hp eliteboook 8470p) for the precision minded. i wouldn't recommend buying it, even though the chassis may seem fine.
asciilifeform: hp, recall, had a clitler, whole product line went to shit irrecoverably
mp_en_viaje: i think it literally may be the worst bios interface i have ever seen. ever. including 1990s almost-compatible days.
mp_en_viaje: (resetting the kbd driver to ps/2 also works on some magically, tried that, but this piece of shit worst bios you've ever seen HAS a useless point and click interface but no setting of kbd driver)
mp_en_viaje: worth a shot but i don't feel like rebooting my windows terminal yet again
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: in some shittops, it was possible to adjust brightness ~during boot init~ with the fkeys
mp_en_viaje: which makes sense, seeing how there's a bevy of bs in find /sys/ -type f -iname '*brightness*' all of which permantly welded to either 0 or 255
mp_en_viaje: ave1, --current says the screen's name is "default"
ave1: would this work?: xrandr --output DP2 --gamma 0.5:0.5:0.5
mp_en_viaje: what can i tell you, it passed the mechanical test
mp_en_viaje: i am using a screen called "default" that manifestly does not exist in any way except to fucking burn my eyes off.
mp_en_viaje: dmesg has some acpi entries, BUT NO VIDEO ANYTHING. fucking lspic has nothing related to vga!!! at.all.
mp_en_viaje: xgamma does nothing. /sys/class/backlight doesn't exist. ye olde grub trick (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=vendor") does nothing.
mp_en_viaje: in other "thanks goodness computer means programmable machine", i have here this hp elitebook. it has the backlight permanently welded to "retina cancer". the "function" key bs works for everything else EXCEPT setting the brightness, fn-f9 does 0. ☟︎☟︎
ave1: or else allowed_html will be null and all tags are filtered away ☟︎
ave1: needs to be function($match) use($allowed_html, $allowed_protocols)
ave1: look for the function definition of wp_kses_split
ave1: and the tag filtering is two-leveled, one in the wp-comments-post.php
ave1: you'll need to update the suffix for the form names in comments.php (in the theme)
a111: Logged on 2018-01-29 17:14 asciilifeform: ty ave1 , i'd definitely like to read the answer
a111: Logged on 2018-01-30 23:12 mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-29#1778033 << it has a tags allowed for comment. if you put b user can bold, if not no. you may not have a on the list.
BingoBoingo: But they still have their PARKOUR!
ben_vulpes: sooo, capetown to run out of water early april http://wtkr.com/2018/01/25/in-less-than-3-months-a-major-international-city-will-likely-run-out-of-water/ and so "unwashed hair is now a sign of social responsibility" ☟︎
BingoBoingo: I suppose after the plugging in and the monthly statementing that I should write a tourism guide to Montevideo for alf et al
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> the 90s were a lot better for partying, i'll tell you that. it's not clear to me that out of the entire world as it stands you can produce enough night life for a middling 90s town. << I believe. During the night walks there will be a lot of empty street and 1 bar where apparently the party is at, most locals crowded outside asking each other who has the weed hookup while the girlies grind in crowded basement dance trap.
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> if you but always look at people looking at your eyes, seems improbable anyone's ever pickpocketing you. << Aha. Scares theives and identifies potentially interesting chicas!
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> he may be right, but it was not that in argentina, those fuckfaces have 0 capital. << And this is why they waited until Brasilero vacation season ended to take their vacations.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, statistics : this month 149 people died violently. 9 on january 1st, over drunken arguments with family. 9 because https://thecitypaperbogota.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/bridge2.jpg on jan 15th. and so fucking following.
mp_en_viaje: the cause of all the world's problems is strictly average intelligence dorks going about things "as per their best guess".
mp_en_viaje: who the fuck locks hotels anyway. AT ELEVEN. "we like to pretend world only exists while sun is up. at sunset great dragon swallows everything"
asciilifeform: worx, tested. cost a buck.
asciilifeform: i have a handy little faraday sack for these
mp_en_viaje: hightech in the sense of nightlife.
mp_en_viaje: meaning they can be range extended and all the res tof the crapola
mp_en_viaje: no i think these are chipped
asciilifeform: oh hey was it the randomly and spontaneously self-demagnetizing magickey, like in ro hotels ?
mp_en_viaje: cuz that's how you fucking welcome guests proper five star like, by having them wait for your dumbass minimum wagers to open their door.
mp_en_viaje: HOWEVER they didn't have the fucking sense to make my key open the main gate. fucking banks can figure out this much for atm, but not these dorks. so i gotta wait there for a guard to show up and unlock it and wish me welcome, after the outside guard asks me n times what my room number is.
mp_en_viaje: but, get this -- these idiots DID make the elevator not work if you don't have your magical key card, so i had to comandeer a maid to get me to my floor. cuz that's fuckinguseful, needing your key for the elevator
mp_en_viaje: dudes locked up the hotel, too. probably because "dangerous", cuz that's gonna deter flamin' bike ridin' bitches shooting uzis : mariott's fucken glass doors. hurr.
mod6: nothing looks funnier than two dudes on a bike, dick to ass.
mod6: like if i was riding, and told you to put your arms around me.
mod6: no, on the back
asciilifeform recalls for some reason the schmeisser and stahlhelm in buenos aires junkshop
mp_en_viaje: and the fucking bikers protested it!
mp_en_viaje: they needed a law to tell them this!
mp_en_viaje: o btw, recently they passed a law here (like, last fri) that it is no longer permissible for males over 14 to ride bitch
mp_en_viaje: mod6, nope. moreover, i think if they had an uzi they'd hock it and buy a helmet
mp_en_viaje: it's larger than fucking ny. they'd bettuer fucking ride motorcycles and shoot each other SOMEWHERE
mod6: were there a lot of young kids on motorcycles with uzis?
mod6: ya, rumor upon rumor. "i heard they ride motorcycles and shoot eachother"
mp_en_viaje: mod6, cuz they keep talking to each other, end up believing all sorts of shit.
mp_en_viaje: imagine this, here i sit in bogota, columbia, like a man in a desert.
mp_en_viaje: the 90s were a lot better for partying, i'll tell you that. it's not clear to me that out of the entire world as it stands you can produce enough night life for a middling 90s town.
