diana_coman: asciilifeform, I built it, yes; iirc you even cut open a bin compiled with it
asciilifeform: !Q later tell diana_coman were you able to build a working ave1gnat with sjljism ? or is that still an open puzzler?
shinohai: asciilifeform: didja get chance to do regrind steps on trb? I would of course *like* to have your sigs there, since you wrote a bunch of old patches.
shinohai: im poking about with trb, gonna put up a post soon if ya wanna read

lobbesbot: spyked: Sent 9 hours and 54 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> that gutenberg tarball -- didja get a chance to auto-kill all of the header liquishit ? i'd prefer to mirror a flensed copy, the 50kB of 'this text copyright wikitards(tm)(r)' is eyesore
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-27#1899477 <-- ty, asciilifeform! I'll update the post with a link to your mirror later today ☝︎
hanbot: <BingoBoingo> hanbot: There's a team with one profoundly fat person working deep in the hot aisle putting filling up a rack. The hamplanet's moving about makes keeping a terminal plugged into the machine a precarious proposition. Will dive again later. << lol ty for the perseverance in the face (crack?) of doom BingoBoingo
asciilifeform: iirc BingoBoingo documented a number of similar zombies also
a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 13:08 asciilifeform: asciilifeform confessed to a cabbie that he wants to move, and cabbie looked as if asciilifeform grew a cock on his forehead
BingoBoingo: Stockholm syndrome is a thing
asciilifeform: sorta how in ru today 1e6 lolcat watchers for erry d00d with half a brain who builds pdp with own hands. whereas in 1990 , 1e6 builders of pdp and 0 lolcat. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: His side of whatever he's contributing to their build is in the hot aisle. But he's ~350 pounds, so he can only stand to be in the hot aisle ~90 seconds at a time. That's a lot of purposeless movement I would rather not deal with when the hippo workday has to end sometime.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Roughly the size. It blocks setting up the keyboard and monitor for an extended period of time without the risk of his ass propelling the setup into the rack because he imagines he can move like a dainty princess.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: he's the size of a hippo ? why would this block work in the rack?!
BingoBoingo: hanbot: There's a team with one profoundly fat person working deep in the hot aisle putting filling up a rack. The hamplanet's moving about makes keeping a terminal plugged into the machine a precarious proposition. Will dive again later.
feedbot: http://blog.lobbesblog.com/2019/02/a-bridge-to-cuntoo-for-the-lenovo-x61-x86_64/ << lobbesblog -- A bridge to Cuntoo: for the Lenovo x61 (x86_64)
asciilifeform: hanbot: plox to lemme know if you require a moar permanent setup.
asciilifeform: hanbot: it's riding on a boot usb, has to be manually en-ip'd. BingoBoingo will reignite when wakes up.
hanbot: BingoBoingo I attempted a reboot of s.nsa spare box, looks like it's not coming back up. please investigate at your leisure.
mircea_popescu: they care deeply, indeed. they all do.
mircea_popescu: in other inconsequential lulz, https://armorgames.com/page/data-breach-2019
mircea_popescu: the second only works worth half a shit when it's "in order to stay out of jail". and even then very dubious.
asciilifeform: there's still a substantial 'hand-sewn' sector, where counts.
mircea_popescu: there's ~nothing in between~. there's no pyramid, one inch wide the first inch, three inches wide the third inch, and a hundred inches wide the hundredht inch
mircea_popescu: , I always knew whether or not they would invest. Those who would not become investors always made specific requests for information, requiring several referrals of non-alts who had been playing the game for a few years. Obviously I could not provide this without giving the names of other investors. Since my business' website guaranteed anonymity, this was not practical. But those who did not make specific requests, and inste
mircea_popescu: consider this item i recently fell upon by accident : "And so the scam rolled on through April and into May. I gathered around fifty active investors, and scammed about a billion non-Morty investments. I was repeatedly pulled into convos, usually lasting only a short time as they asked a few questions. Within the first few lines of communication
mircea_popescu: that old http://trilema.com/2014/in-which-you-become-grain/ discussion is not an idle consideration. this is the fundamental structure of everything, from baltimore gangland, where the police shoots the 20-gun tribes to make room for a dozen 2-gun tribes, to whatever you pick, "Merchandise scores in the theme park stores" and Disney is the king of the hill.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-06 18:46 mircea_popescu: (ro used the prefab construction process -- first, send mining equipment, flatten land ; then, put in rail ; then, roll out a rail crane, and roll prefab on cars up to it ; then move the derivation
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fg dun exactly require cuntoo tho. runs a++ with, e.g., my msdos box. ( via 'max232' ttl to rs232 transformer )
mircea_popescu: consider what hanbot had to go through to stand up a working environment ; now consider potential customer has to ~same.
BingoBoingo: Seems like a poverty of folks who know how to give a serious shit about crypto
asciilifeform: possibly only that many folx alive who give a serious shit re crypto. possibly i made it the wrong shade of red, fuck if i know.
asciilifeform: pretty modest ( tho asciilifeform was still surprised how large ! ) uptake for FG. asciilifeform doesn't even have a rigid handle on why, specifically.
danielpbarron: no, hasn't been a sale in a year about
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: still making a killing selling fg ?
danielpbarron: i'm holding on to a bunch of computer parts but i'm not sure how useful any of them are
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if asciilifeform weren't sitting under a pile of unfinisheds -- then conceivably yes
a111: Logged on 2016-12-19 20:16 asciilifeform: btw if anyone can come up with a WORKING 'crab' (realtek) nic driver in pure long mode asm, we can have, e.g., scheme on iron, and usefully so, in a couplea weeks.
mircea_popescu: we're substantially different things, i'm something, the poveraccio's not a thing.
mircea_popescu: they're incomprehensible and uninteresting to "patriarchy" aka the lordship principally because they're epiphenomena of poverty in a manner unexperienced.
mircea_popescu: trend's been ongoing since at least the 70s, once the yellow flower of alabamy decided her only future's to go to new york to be a writer.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-19 04:42 BingoBoingo: It has been a while. Turns out he got a job of sorts at a Confiteria. Sleeps in an actual bed most nights now.
asciilifeform: ( and this was not a d00d with outlandish standards )
mircea_popescu: it's a very unevenly distributed thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the infestations are a by-scene thing. the art scene's not particularly lice-y. some music scenes are ; the sex scene may be, depending on the house mother. on it goes.
mircea_popescu: there's also the filthy sort, but that's more of a punk/pill scene.
mircea_popescu: more valuables there than in a whole suburbia's worth of soccer moms.
mircea_popescu: actually, this happens regularly. witness the "art studio" / squat that burned a few years ago.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo what difference does it make ? if you're rich, get 6x4x2 or w/e, not like you can't specify arrangement. might delay you a day. whopee. << Well trying to figure out if the Port or Puertito is a more appropriate place arrive.
mircea_popescu: more a thing in german-yurp than us, but a major thing nevertheless, on both coasts and in plenty of midwest pockets.
mircea_popescu: i know numerous chicks squatting. it's a thing.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-24 06:42 mircea_popescu: witness how instagram is chock full of a bunch of pretentious pictures of foods/travels/whatever that the putative "authors" ~aspire~ to.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a massive 'artistic' sculpture consisting of coupla dozen containers somewhere on the road to washington from here. they're plentiful, and folx in 'flyover' usa do sometimes live in'em ( see endless 'how i poured cement' http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-24#1899021 -derpery on 'youtube' etc. ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what difference does it make ? if you're rich, get 6x4x2 or w/e, not like you can't specify arrangement. might delay you a day. whopee.
asciilifeform: 3-4 , i suppose, if it's going to junkyard instead of marseilles and you can compact it a bit
mircea_popescu: i expect actually a great future for intermodal container housing.
BingoBoingo: I recall mircea_popescu had a story about folks trying to build stone house in the US
asciilifeform: not limited to 'ugly' ersatz housing, either. recall the mircea_popescu thread about some ro fella who thought he could get away with building a stone euro-style house in urban usa, where the locals could see it
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in usa would be moar common if were not artificially suppressed ( it is legal to be a hobo , but not to live in shipping container or anyffin else not Officially mortgaged via the lizards )
BingoBoingo: The more "affordable" option emerging are furnished, shipping containers. These however are a rural and outter barrio thing.
asciilifeform: i dun even know presently what prevents it. possibly if the fast-growing pine thing usa uses, grew in south a, argentina + uy et al would already look like matchstick washington.
BingoBoingo: Even Uruguayo socialist housing compared to the US... Seeing these how these 10-12 story towers go up is a trip.
asciilifeform: quite hilarious re 'houses' -- the other day there was a little gust of wind, certainly nuffin rising to the level of 'hurricane'. and then i go for a drive, and errywhere pieces of 'house' came off
asciilifeform found, by chance, a living descendant of the manor people. old woman, 9000 cats...
asciilifeform: ( manor -- pretty interesting in own light. literally entire town, incl. the university grounds, usedta be part of it pre-dekulakization. yet most of the folx living there nao, dun even know that the manor house exists. inside, threadbare museum, open 1ce a week or sumthing, souvenir shop. )
mircea_popescu: it's very weird because for a good half of 20th century, us housing kicked SO MUCH ASS compared to yurp...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: history's most 'successful', if you will, bonsai-kitten experiment. unlike e.g. ceausescu's ro folx, most of usa never even laid eyes on a ~picture~ of an actual pre-socialism house, much less set foot in one, not even speaking of riding in a pre-socialism auto or growing up in a pre-.... family etc
mircea_popescu: femstate lulz, the termites could prolly chew the trunks making up one original log cabin and spit out paper cells for a whole neighbourhood of contemporary drones.
asciilifeform: ( there's a reason why in old japan arsonists were invariably burned at the stake, i.e. same as for high treason )
mircea_popescu: somewhat parallel to the very threatened reaction of girlies in a group of girlies, when i bid one come over. "if she goes to the slaugther when called to the slaughter, who's to say i wouldnt?!?"
asciilifeform: 'Meanwhile donations rolled in for Joly and Moore. The church hoped to raise $10,000 but quickly sped past that amount. By the time St. Johns and other groups were done they had collected $58,000, they said. In a Facebook post two days after the fire, Joly exhorted supporters not to respond to the blaze by threatening violence. “Yes, be angry, be very angry,” he wrote. “Use that anger to force good! Use that anger to make chang
BingoBoingo: Well, she fussed a lot
BingoBoingo: Less pressing as the headcase contents get flushed and refreshed with the re-reading, but it's a thing on the issues chart
BingoBoingo: Anyways, I carry some technical debt, but as I've been learning since last year there's a lot of pressing cultural debt.
mircea_popescu: that's kinda the problem with reading. the actual driver of length-ening is precisely this, one could produce shorter articles, but it's a time-to-read/space-to-write tradeoff.
mircea_popescu: there's no guarantee "writing an article" is a procedure that returns, in principle. maybe it ends that way.
mircea_popescu: it does seem though that the "article is ~500 words" thing that stood true for a decade or so meanwhile morphed into an "article is ~2k words" thing. i hope it stops, this process, before expanding past the point where not even i can be bothered to read one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a ok, that actually looks exactly like soviet take of above.
mircea_popescu: make a computer look like an aluminum can, one spikey end with the cpu and radiator, one flat end to sit it on.
asciilifeform: ftr there is a (theoretical) 'innocent' explanation for 'nuffin socketed' -- at current-day freqs, sockets actually cost comparably with the chip
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in 'the new linus torvalds' lulz: https://archive.is/C6AFq >> 'The price advantage of ARM will never be there for ARM servers unless you get enough volume to make up for the absolutely huge advantage in server volume that Intel has right now ... no real advantage to ARM ... basic economics ... this is why the PC took over, and why everything else died ... you're going to be a tiny minority ... x86 won'
lobbes: However, I'm pleased to say I now have a bootable (and, this time, login-able!) cuntoo on my usb stick. I'll aim to get a post with all the details out this week
lobbes: solution being to simply disable CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION by setting it to blank, i.e "CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION =". This was a newer kernel config I was using this time around; I checked and this config option was not even mentioned in my older config
a111: Logged on 2019-02-23 19:16 lobbes: Luckily, this time around I have a 40MB screenlog to parse through. Will return once I have a more substantive understanding of where exactly the failure points are when trying to build my kernel config
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-23#1898992 << so I figured it out my kernel issues. It seems to have been caused by a known bug >> http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1508.1/02478.html ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the weakest computer geek of 1989 is still a gravel chewing, piss&vinegar machine compared to the toughest "hoodlum" of 2019.
mircea_popescu: you can't select a 1968 vietnam platoon out of an entire state's penitentiary system.
mircea_popescu: by now it's a collective of chronic masturbators.
BingoBoingo: JessicaShadow 24F Switch << Indecisive soon to be late 20 something can't appreciate she's a loser while hanbot is a very cool weapon of mass destruction
mircea_popescu: I can see that you are not a very good Dom/Master. You are abusive and hide behind that title as an excuse. You are not attractive, you have a terrible personality, and you don't deserve subs. I hope they can work up the courage to leave your abusive ass."
BingoBoingo: Just... how much these papers suck. Why would anyone who isn't a self hating pervert sign any agreement structured this way?
asciilifeform: quite symbolically of fall of su, incidentally, word is that the thing's become a 'leaning tower' and likely to splat soon.
a111: Logged on 2015-03-19 20:50 mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone seriously believes she moves into anything but a jail cell once term ends.
a111: 26 results for "mining is a bug", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=mining%20is%20a%20bug
asciilifeform: !#s mining is a bug
asciilifeform: rright. but must observe, that folx who dun grasp http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1823933 , ~will~ build a gnu. regardless of what they're nominally attempting to build. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point isn't the tool, the point is that you don't have to build a fucking gnu.
