BingoBoingo: partners moved over
to a program called "experts," which provides advice
to Y Combinator entrepreneurs,
Thiel did not join."
BingoBoingo: In still coaster lollers: "Thiel's departure from Y Combinator was not previously announced. It comes long after Y Combinator president Sam Altman defended
Thiel's role at
the accelerator, following criticism of
Thiel's support of
then-presidential candidate Donald
Trump. A source close
to Y Combinator said
that
the company ended its part-time partners program, which
Thiel was a part of, some
time last year. While some other part-time

trying

that is)
lobbes: ben_vulpes, ah okay! I hadn't
thought about
those browsers. I was
trying
to script something in lynx. Problem
there was intermittent 503 errors.
ben_vulpes: lobbes:
try chromium or firefox in headless mode
lobbes: I'm changing gears
to creating my own archiver.
Thinking of perhaps just using wget for
the
time-being
lobbes: update on archive-o-tron: Looks like leveraging archive.is is getting nowhere fast; according
to
the archive.is d00d 'download .zip is actually broken'
☟︎ ben_vulpes: one of
the few mechanical pencils
to not suffer from
the retarded lead advancement while using eraser design flaw
ben_vulpes: i did
the entire ME curriculum with
the one on my desk, finally decided
to get some backups.
ben_vulpes: in other wonderful old
technology
that is not made and barely findable any more, i cannot praise
the sanford "logo ii" highly enough.
the original "logo" is all right, but interestingly not quite as well made as its successor.
ben_vulpes: le wik maintains
that baton rouge event did have a cophunter in attendance
ben_vulpes: i absolutely understand
this, asciilifeform .
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 19:58 asciilifeform: 'Mr Vancel said
the men were shooting at each other before
the officers arrived. "This was not a 'come at police' situation
they weren't
targeting
the police at first - I don't assume so - because
these were men out here shooting at each other in an empty parking lot until
the police showed up and it
turned into a gun battle," he added.' << lel
ben_vulpes: to
take
the other side for half a second, who says
that i can't charge whomever i want whatever i want for services?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't see anyone contesting
that it's not income
ben_vulpes: the refusal
to accept
that
they're just playing a different lotto is so
tasty
BingoBoingo: ""It's a penis."
That's
the explanation!
The kids will be able
to handle it." <<
Then why all
the fuss when adult women get shown penii!
ben_vulpes: in other well-trained children, $child just attempted
to put himself down for a nap in
the comfy chair in my office
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: You mean
the City State of Buenos Aires + Cows
BingoBoingo: Also lead
time from application
to LACNIC IP address assignment is ~2 weeks
BingoBoingo: Departures from
there, particularly
to greener pastures
tend
to inspire much hope. I don't expect many of my fellows
there wake up
to a battleship in
their coffee
though.
BingoBoingo: In other news,
there was much rejoicing at
the BingoBoingo store
today as rumors concerning my resignation notice circulated.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: I am just curious because I mentioned
the idea of getting rid of dns and someone who actually reads
the logs sent me a link
to
the article about draining
the DNS Swamp.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: any recommendable log
to read with more detail on
the advance of
the project?
Ingolfr_Arnarson: I was
trying
to find information on gossipd, followed
the 'how
to participate in
the affairst of
the republic' link on
the channel automatic
text you get when you enter and reached
the gossipd design document.
trinque: dwindling but I still find
them in
the usual places for scrap
trinque: asciilifeform: beefiest xserve was a dual proc 2.3ghz,
tapped out at 16gb ram
diana_coman: PeterL and anyone else following along on keccak: 2 more problems found so far in
the ada code namely 1. in
the pi permutation it's
the *output* coordinates
that are calculated as Y, 2*X+3*Y based on input at X,Y and not
the other way around; 2. at iota
the corresponding round constant is xored into a(0,0) only, not into all
the lanes of
the state (following permutations will propagate
the round constant)
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.

to use g4 and g5 PPCs in personal infrastructure
a111: Logged on 2017-11-17 06:10 mircea_popescu: a v-root for proper box software (bios, grub, etc) very much in order also,
twinned with box standard.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> may
take some finagleing, usg.dns decided
to be a bitch about ips so as
to force ipv6 uptake. << Either way LACNIC is cheaper/(less competition for space)
than APNIC
trinque: most sensible databases amount
to ramdisk stores on a db
that size
BingoBoingo: For webhosting
though, one has
to remember
that hosting
typically means MP-WP which can
tax a database if
the
traffic is
there
BingoBoingo: Hence
this is
the stab at a basic box. Board widely available, has serial header, but only one ethernet port so not useful as router
trinque: for
the simple webhosting and bothosting cases, of which
there oughta be many, max-spec'd machine is not necessary
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Pero
tiene cuatro nucleos y dieciseis GB RAM, so requires playing with
BingoBoingo: Basic box prototype did arrive
today. Has been assembled, but not really played with. Likely not
too impressive for
tasks requiring lots of horsepower.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
trinque better idea is
that we have
to figure out what boards/etc we're buying. a "standard box of
the republic". << AHA,
this is why cost of dedi box hosting not yet spec'd
trinque stopped in anger, resolved
to use g4 and g5 PPCs in personal infrastructure
☟︎ trinque: yep, I will have
to do some research
there myself.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: a v-root for proper box software (bios, grub, etc) very much in order also,
twinned with box standard.
☟︎ mircea_popescu looked at various would-be standards (earlier "libre" lulz related
to
this), none are worth
two shits.

mircea_popescu: that it meanwhile entirely failed isn't gonna percolate
to orc bureaucrat heads within
the remaining lifetime of
teh empire.
mircea_popescu: may

BingoBoingo: trinque:
To be determined. Datacenter wants me
to get IPs
through LACNIC, will assist in
the application process, but not guaranteeing anything
trinque: relevant
to carving up a U into VPSen for folks like lobbes
BingoBoingo: trinque:
That's
the pricing I have figured out so far.
trinque: BingoBoingo: idea is we'll ship servers
to you once
there?
ben_vulpes: but bbl, off
to do some social soldering
BingoBoingo to put "2 week notice" @ BingoBoingo Store on
tomorrow's do list
mircea_popescu: a yeah, pack a camera, you'll get
to give my
travel posts a run for
their money eh.
