mircea_popescu: playing this the other way... if you're trying to make your way out BingoBoingo , this'll take you to yurp. from london you can take thr fast train to czech republic, be there in ~a night.
mircea_popescu: an experience that can't be acquired through the livresque approach
mircea_popescu: gives one a good grasp of why latin america isn't a place ; and how it's perfectly possible to have millions of people not amount to a thick strand of spit.
mircea_popescu: not because of what's there, but becauswe of what isn't.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, montevideo arguably worth viewing, for a week or two.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is a good point, yes they sold for ten bux or w/e, but in small amounts inconveniently packaged
mircea_popescu: i wasn't going to buy alf made crap to piss on it & set it on fire ; but otherwise i have dozens deployed.
mircea_popescu: apparently i'm the only other party seeing value in amd processors, what can i say.
mircea_popescu: too bad it never got implemented, might've done something for all of us.
mircea_popescu: neways, as it turns out on the autopsy table, management's plan to build perceived market value in the fuckgoats through running republican isp delivered, ~twenny bux of fuckgoats trades for about a hundy in the exact environment a nominal hundred dubaloos worth of generic hardware trades for like twenty. five this way and five that way, not half bad.
mircea_popescu: (item comes with a 10GB line upgrade available ; though ima start it on a 100MB interface because seriously now.)
mircea_popescu: also, do you want anything on it ? centos ? debian ? ubuntu ? lolz
mircea_popescu: i don't see the merit. either it's alligned or else it's cheap, what the hell is this "pay us a premium so we can derp". i ain't ever buying "quality" outside of republic, for the obvious reason
mircea_popescu: basically they're a fine opportunity to pay 2x what your getting's worth for the priviledge of supporting someone else's BingoBoingo in iceland.
mircea_popescu: anyway, petty microbusiness isp, there's a derpier BingoBoingo behind the "x tb bw for dedicated" sorta nonsense.
mircea_popescu: cloudflare is the internet equivalent of usg's fatca chantage mechanism. "partner" for protection or else get flooded. i wouldn't hold it against civillians.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is what the jr high game of battleship should have been. because wtf, we got computers, thus therefore are better than the pen-and-paper forefathers. or else, what the fuck's all the toil been for.
mircea_popescu: look through the research tree, currently eg using a 2x2 shield, 500/100/500
mircea_popescu: the moogles managed to make an internetless fakenet for themselves, basically. nfi why they call it the internet, it's like calling their sad socialisms "democracy", anachronism abuse.
mircea_popescu: unfortunately (for them!) i don't own them, nor are they in channel, meaning they haven't access to this font of "obvious, in retrospect" sense. which is the true drawback of "oh, we built our business around the convenience of a website" : it all but enforces missing out on pretty much everything.
mircea_popescu: sadly they don't have a way to record/replay battles, which is stupid, should just have a hash url for any battle.
mircea_popescu: in other news : there's this dude
sleepy_b uploading extremely well rendered video to pronsites. he happens to be from uy. is there any chance in hell BingoBoingo might spot him somehows ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, remember dr a's point, "pay idiots in lottery tickets" ?
mircea_popescu: in the end, the doom of self-expression as a ~default~ activity, occuring ~in the absence of understanding~ ; and the power of understanding dervied thereby, to actually inhibit action very much stands as the exact definition of the tragedy of human condition. a trite point, at that.
mircea_popescu: in the end, the tragedy of human existence is that everyone gets exactly what they thought they wanted.
mircea_popescu: highly successful at it, too. in fact, the one key feature of any reality simulation. "does your terrarium make idiots think their idiocy works ?" pass/fail.
mircea_popescu: that's what pretty much everything existing is all about : making idiots think idiocy works.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, why not ? idiots ~should~ waste themselves, it's the only point of nature.
mircea_popescu: then the bootstrapping problem. "suppose you let the wot work it, make trilema be gossipd, people can see the comments of people they talk to"
mircea_popescu: on some level, the obviousness of "why should i be forced to decide either all or none" grates. false dilemma. but on the other end, the practicalities of "alright... distinguish then" are insurmountable.
mircea_popescu: the drawback is that most spam ops use diff boxes for harvesting and posting, sadly.
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm considering getting an upgrade for mp-wp, wherein comments marked as spam are displayed for as long as the ip they were made from is loading the page
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing ; subsaharan africa === western europe today. pretense notwithstanding (spoiler : exactly equal amts of pretense on BOTH camps)
mircea_popescu: well, the first part for sure. for all the "not racist" blather, the euro-africans literally think there's some magic in the string "netherlands" that prevents it outright from simply being zamibia.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, "As documented on this blog, undertaking the remains of Pizarro has continued, as documented on this blog."
mircea_popescu: pretty lulzy. "civilised world" amirite, except for the part where nobody needs them for anything.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, upon deliberation, i really dun wanna get us-sider servers, fuck tghat dumb shit.
mircea_popescu: when i say "the great success of lamp", i mean things quite like ^
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, did the whatever you were trying locally die ?
mircea_popescu: dorion, you know, your article skips over the most interesting parts. i can sorta-kinda fill in a sentence like "The bank prevented us from dealing directly with clients in our country of residence 2 as the brokers were never required to obtain any sort of securities license." thus curing it into standing ; but i suspect i might be the ~only one.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in glorious timewastes,
space arena! never was the true substance&tragedy of design as a cvasi-rational process so well captured in so little trapping! rarely will one find such a gem of a game, either! it's purrrfect.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, on the basis of smg experience, he prorated by time
mircea_popescu: ayer to buy a 256gb one or w/e. or alternatively... to only save the MOST USED 32 gb.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-12#1951034 << the more i think about this, the less a problem i perceive. i mean, nobody even uses cd boot anymore, they do the hybrid thing so you can use the image on sticks too. well... there's 32gb sticks for ~free, you just set it with a data partition and that's that. in the very unlikely case someone actually has enough artwork to fill 32gb, um... you just tell the pl
mircea_popescu: it's pretty much all e3/e5. i could perhaps squeeze a celeron if pressed, but there's no amds.
