phf: for example i have a set of patches that i've not had a chance to cleanup, that diff mp's addition on top of the released version of wordpress. that patchset could only by successfully produced by ignoring whitespace changes, and adding a handful of filters for cosmetic alterations
phf: that's true, though "ignore" functionality can still work. in fact nuking all that stuff means that i will still need a traditional differ for code manipulation
asciilifeform: phf: there's no place for 'merge' as a concept in a vtronic system.
phf: yeah, but killing obviously bad code is so much easier then killing a not bad code that you don't need
asciilifeform: elsewhere, asciilifeform contemplates , of what is made the black soot that one finds inside servers. wish i still had where to gc/ms...
asciilifeform: phf: 'ignore', 'merge', anything pertaining to either
phf: hmm, re differ, we're basically nuking all "ignore" functionality, since from hash to hash..
shinohai: Is it just coincidence that asciilifeform pets succubus and diana_coman enters, or ..... ?
asciilifeform: i also wonder whether gabriel_laddel ever considered vegas. it has slightly better odds than sv nonsense, and with fewer pounds of flesh required as table stake
asciilifeform: going on 1leg is slow. esp if you have nfi that you oughta be going somewhere, and doped to 11.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 16:23 phf: perhaps we can get g_l to move there
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754270 << i was about to say, 'i've nfi what d00d is still doing in usa' but then remembered he's 1legged nao ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754272 << traditional formulation is 'yesterday's lotto number' ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( and i concede the point to mircea_popescu , boat prolly does not work for the contemplated use , in the general case )
mircea_popescu: best way, as per teh older discussion re your newly discovered interrest in boats.
asciilifeform: and only then wherever.
asciilifeform: tho gotta point out, every single unit sold to date was first 'him selling'
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 15:28 danielpbarron: i've got over 1k USD in sales in just a week, but the last auction finished with no bids
mircea_popescu: what am i supposed to say now, "if only i had five more and pushed them harder, i could buy a las vegas casino ?"
mircea_popescu: other than the "hey, i spent like 100k usd for these cufflinks" lulz, there's also "hey, this slavegirl who was doing basic training made like 100 btc freelancing in 2012. so i'm today ~2mn usd richer because owning obedient slut."
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 15:21 danielpbarron: glad i replaced them but to be perfectly honest i'd have been better off keeping both the bitcoin spent while also buying the re-up. I justify it as a hedge against possible bitcoin price decrease and as a public service for the republic
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754215 << there's always a better path through history with retrospective power. ☝︎☟︎
shinohai: Except the pests are actual insects
phf: perhaps we can get g_l to move there ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 14:46 BingoBoingo: Do remember if you choose to stay in my hostel to bring clothes you don't mind burning later porque los chinches de cama
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 06:18 mircea_popescu: but yes, this comes with the necessity of considering eg http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-14#1751602 as "a coin has been minted" ; i don't see http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1753931 as anything other than an abstract rendering of the exact practical reality
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754144 << misstated. "a coin has been ~spent~". obviously it was minted whenever the fuck the possibility of having the item appeared, which is probably before the big bang. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 14:39 asciilifeform: the differences are not in that some have roaches and others mice, no.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754158 << if only. he has a point, they're not all the same thing. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: iirc they even said they're breaking it.
phf: recent gpgme doesn't build with gnupg@1.4 out of the box
asciilifeform: and 4G typically suffices to run trb 'year-round'.
asciilifeform: this is afaik the cheapest amd64 box 'bang for buck', currently around.
asciilifeform: some floating about that go to 1.7.
asciilifeform: they are widely sold as surplus today, about fiddybux ( naturally diskless ) ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: 'wyse' made a series of gui-terminals , but with sata disk , fanless , based on very similar mobo to 'pcengines' ☟︎
asciilifeform: btw asciilifeform will reveal that he found a 'new' (to him) and very spiffy type of amd g-series box , suitable for trb and similar
BingoBoingo: It's something to look out for. Perhaps you could look into maximum desity apu traying too danielpbarron
danielpbarron: err, 1 tb sorry
asciilifeform: what's the use of a 1 gig ssd
danielpbarron: hey if any hardware distributor has that qty of the thing we want, i can probably afford to pay for it in bitcoin and recieve a pallet
BingoBoingo: Well, something you could produce 80 of, that's two racks
danielpbarron: i don't know about arbitrary quantities, i'm sure asciilifeform would say the price spikes if you try to buy more than 10
danielpbarron: i'm working on a laptop now and of course my recipe doesn't work again. I'm gonna try cp -r'ing the distfiles in from a working box for the initial setup
BingoBoingo: Ah, have you outlined a box you can build arbitrary quantities off using off the shelf parts?
danielpbarron: bought a bunch of things that asciilifeform mentioned. hp workstations with operteron cpus, ecc ram. got a bunch of 1 gig ssds etc
BingoBoingo: What kind of hardware are you building those with? As ISP develops would be nice to know what a republican box builder is offering.
danielpbarron: i have those too
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Have you thought about selling gentoo servers, specializing in easing the transition to Cuntoo?
danielpbarron: someone expressed interest in a gentoo laptop though, so that's my next eBay project
danielpbarron: i've got over 1k USD in sales in just a week, but the last auction finished with no bids ☟︎
danielpbarron: depending on what time frame you look at, it's extremely lucrative
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: dunno, sounds like your fg dealership was and still is an effective device for converting btc into fiatola to buy bread, at slightly higher efficiency than otherwise
asciilifeform: hell knows, asciilifeform takes every chance ( rare chances...) to buy coinz
danielpbarron: well i spent 2 bitcoin on some FGs, then i bought 2 bitcoin. I should have kept all 4 bitcoin, right?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: not too late to do the latter, neh
danielpbarron: but if i'm gonna go down that road, shoulda bought 1k BTC for 1 USD. should have lived off ramen noodles for the last 7 years while i put all income into a wallet.dat
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i'm thick; what means 're-buying the re-up' ?
danielpbarron: glad i replaced them but to be perfectly honest i'd have been better off keeping both the bitcoin spent while also buying the re-up. I justify it as a hedge against possible bitcoin price decrease and as a public service for the republic ☟︎
asciilifeform: !!down The20YearIRCloud
The20YearIRCloud: From property income? Then yes if you consider the USD. From the outset I explained to everyone that we'd be dealing primarily in USD, accepting BTC from tenants wherever possible. As of today I've had a grand sum of 3 people ask me about truly getting involved in bitcoin
a111: Logged on 2017-12-10 01:32 danielpbarron: i replaced the coin used to by mine at the time i bought them, so that works for me
asciilifeform: i.e. you oughta get the btc you spent, back , at the very least
asciilifeform: forget about matching, how about simply not burning the coin
The20YearIRCloud: Because matching the BTC appreciation/escalation with any investment is just about impossible.
BingoBoingo: Including the USD crumble rate
asciilifeform: ( and that's if it exchange rate were to somehow freeze 4evah at current, even )
The20YearIRCloud: Including the BTC appreciation rate, or including what it was worth at the time?
asciilifeform: how many centuries to make the coin back ?
asciilifeform: i.e. you spent btc presumably some months ( years ? ) ago, and letting them flats out for 'dust' today
asciilifeform: unless i'm missing something, that sounds like a terrible deal
The20YearIRCloud: Used the BTC to buy the first 18 if memory serves me right, rest has been bank capital and partnerships
asciilifeform: The20YearIRCloud: iirc you were the fella with the flats-let-out-for-btc . how's that coming along ?
asciilifeform: The20YearIRCloud: y'know you don't have to talk if you dunwanna
The20YearIRCloud: Had to say something, guess that's my best try
BingoBoingo: !!up The20YearIRCloud
BingoBoingo: Not to mention when apartment time comes it presents a ready opportunity for remediating the issue
BingoBoingo figures if the Colombians y Brasileros/Brasileras don't complain too loudly what is his place to do so.
asciilifeform: hey , asciilifeform takes off his hat to BingoBoingo's 'fuel efficiency'
BingoBoingo: International travel is a dirty business.
BingoBoingo: Well, there's accomodations nearby where the staff get paid in dinero instead of accomodations, without rapidly turning beds in rooms that accomodate 8 people.
asciilifeform: somehow i didn't expect delousing as one of the expenses...
BingoBoingo will prolly do the ivermectin thing later this week
BingoBoingo: Do remember if you choose to stay in my hostel to bring clothes you don't mind burning later porque los chinches de cama ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Lol, the fellow went to great lengths to caution me on how cold winter gets here while staying above 0C
BingoBoingo: Ah, better get to boxing then. Apparently when summer ends the weather is un poco menos divine.
BingoBoingo: Will you be flying down with the box?
asciilifeform: lemme know when yer ready to take a box
BingoBoingo: But the fellow I talked to recieved a clear understanding of what I am and am not looking for.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754135 << emphasis was quite deliberate on 'this is orthogonal to the problem contemplated'. yes, it is solvable, there are several known obvious solutions. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Details vary, even among this operator's different halls. This operator's older halls use racetrack designed for electrical conduit. The new hall uses coated racetrack designed for networking cables
asciilifeform: the differences are not in that some have roaches and others mice, no. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: And very importantly, they have space to fill
BingoBoingo: Very well cooled, racetrack cabling to racks very clean, mega fire supression
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i can picture that it'd impress folx who experienced 'typical' technology being webolade, ducttape, perl. the way austrian bidet impressed asciilifeform's grandfather. << AHA, in Uruguay no excuse for walking around with stink butt
shinohai: http://archive.is/ibMMr <<< This was some lulzy SFYL
mircea_popescu: fundamentally, the "quo warranto" inquiry is exactly equivalent to transaction verification.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 01:37 mircea_popescu is thinking of actually starting a chivalry order.
mircea_popescu: that you don't "need to make a coin" for this should be evident, in the sense that the "coin" already exists. (not to mention -- http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-18#1752985 ) ☝︎
