menahem: lol, i'm here.
mircea_popescu: shit, i go watch a couple bad marty feldman movies, the log runs off
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i would dearly like to learn the context for this picture ^ ☟︎
asciilifeform: idk, can't say i followed chess in the past decade
cazalla: BingoBoingo, suburb i live in http://www.domain.com.au/property/for-sale/house/vic/ringwood/?adid=2011961985&sp=15
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I'm scared to thing how much more that last property would sell for as a bare lot
asciilifeform: if i wanted a terminal, i'd buy an ibm 'glass tty'
asciilifeform: decimation: why would i do that. i have no shortage of things to put linux on
asciilifeform: (in point of fact, a modern pc actually will run dos. but i also want to run classic sound card in dos)
asciilifeform: decimation: it is why i bought it
asciilifeform: because they did. i saw - alive.

pete_dushenski: decimation well, they gotta start south and work their way north, y'know ? i'm at 53* N latitude !
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I misrememebred priced at $95 kilo, prolly sell for $75 kilo still http://www.trulia.com/property/3187919868-1515-7th-St-Highland-IL-62249
asciilifeform: (i had the impression that mircea_popescu gave up with it)
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform that's reasonable. it's also funny to note that while i live in the city proper, it's all of two square kilometers out of, what, 40 ? 80 ?
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 23:38:48; mod6: To begin with, I was completely unfamiliar with gentoo in any sense -- aside from once trying to set it up from the Handbook, which I found that I didn't have time to work my way through and get it set up properly. So my goal was to get familiar with Gentoo and to start to build a system that can be agreed upon that suits our needs for building bitcoind.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-05-2015#1129391 << i am rather surprised to learn that anyone but me still gives a damn about gentoo ☝︎
asciilifeform: (i happen to live in one)
asciilifeform: i am operating with the common definition of 'city' as this place where civilians live in high-rises
asciilifeform: it could have disney princesses for all i know
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 22:37:12; lobbes: I only just started reading Orlov's blog not too long ago. On alf's recommendation, I skipped to some of his earlier stuff (from roughly 2011?). I do get the feeling that he can either be 'hit or miss' at times.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-05-2015#1129342 << mr o habitually 'dips into own stash' - i.e. engages in wishful thinking and allows boundary of reality to blur in his mind. with this in mind, he is entirely readable ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 22:17:42; mircea_popescu: not that it's not genuine sentiment, i'm sure to some degree it is. the topless sluts were ALSO genuine sentiment, for sure just as genuine, definitely as widely held. the result ? 400 people, beat up by police, not 4mn pushed by the govt press agents.
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 22:05:41; mircea_popescu: "here i sit in a prefab vinyl siding plebhousing unit, burning a 50 dollar bill" ?
decimation: as a usian, I had to pretend that $1=1gbp or else I wouldn't eat anything
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 22:03:27; mircea_popescu: so ascii_field from the above, am i correct in deducing that there have been at most 47728 - 31262-4584 = 11882 (out of 47728, or ~1/4) keys without any RSA subkeys in them ?
BingoBoingo: trinque: I find that book for my network appliances what M. W. Lucas's BSD books are to my laptop
decimation: pete_dushenski: walking the streets of nyc, all I could think was: "how the hell do all these people afford to live her"
williamdunne: decimation: Wasn't suggesting you were - I'm just not too bothered by the Englishness thing personally. If thats your boat the South West is probably as good as it gets
decimation: williamdunne: it's not that I'm a hater on asian folk, just that it doesn't have a distinct 'englishness' anymore ☟︎
trinque: I'll just stick the thing on trinque.org and then you guys can make your own decisions re: newsworthiness ☟︎☟︎
williamdunne: decimation: Kinda like it personally. Never bothered me, although I've not been there for an extended period
decimation: last time I was in london I found it depressing
williamdunne: I'm not from here by birth, nor are my parents. But yeah, some nutjobs in Cornwall want to be an independent country. Ignoring the fact that they actually qualify for a european regional development fund
williamdunne: decimation: Not my sorta thing personally. I'm still pissed off about the cliff collapsing and fucking up the trains for a couple of months
trinque: alright, maybe I'll do some writing this weekend
decimation: I would like to see the chalk cliffs one day
pete_dushenski: as for 'loads of other examples', i've only seen one.
pete_dushenski: trinque i'd like to read yours !
pete_dushenski: i'm currently working on installing openbsd on an edgerouter and will publish my own guide once completed.
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: WHat I mean by dead tree is. People in their WoT write comprehensive books and they all check and then promote the books
williamdunne: Maybe I could try and one-up them and climb up into the mountains for a few years and carve a guide into a stone tablet. ☟︎
trinque: ah I see
BingoBoingo: <trinque> I'll also say that pf.conf seems to suffer from the same syntax-creep SQL does, where they just add more to the grammar for every feature << Actually the problem is they've been supplanting inherited grammar inherited from ipfw they imitated to start with towards more of a sensible firewall language
trinque: I'll also say that pf.conf seems to suffer from the same syntax-creep SQL does, where they just add more to the grammar for every feature
trinque: seems there are a hundred-million other knobs on pf I didn't use
trinque: I tend to want to have a pretty thorough understanding of a thing before I try to teach anyone else, too
trinque: I'd have to put up some kind of blog thing
trinque: williamdunne: I'll see about it; wasn't that hard
trinque: so I made an openbsd home router, and as far as I can tell it's actually doing its job
williamdunne: I am the 1%?
williamdunne: Yes, I'm familiar with the land-ownership. Truly brilliant option IMO. As you say, American dream.
williamdunne: Not particularly, I know fatality rates would be vastly different dependent on region though. Obviously being a city-guard in Rome is a pretty safe job but being the the border of the empire or in active battle/expansion seems like a good way to get killed
mircea_popescu: really ? i guess i never thought of it that way.
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 18:19:52; jurov: neat. i am finally beating the mailman into submission, turdatron can link there
trinque: interesting, I was misinformed on how lethal gladiator fights were
mircea_popescu: i dunno that was very common.
williamdunne: Sorry I meant the slaves as if in thrown in the pit rather than trained like you would a prize horse
williamdunne: What about the slaves they battled? I'd be lying if I said I had much knowledge outside of primary education and 'Gladiator'
trinque: ah I just meant the prospect that the opponent could be killed
mircea_popescu: i guess if you force them, by allowing armor. buyt then again, gladiatorial combat didn't allow much armor.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i think it's just the way it's being promoted. boxing harks to a different time, with different people. mma is more tuned for the contemporary kid. different life balances. << Which is why I'm thinking that 11-ish years from now on my 40th Birthday it might be realistic that I could become a ProBoxer
mircea_popescu: i don't think mma guys if given the option of gladitorial arms would actually take any.
trinque: ^ I think MMA fans would watch an actual coloseum fight just as readily.
williamdunne: I'm not aiming for the greatness, I just want to see two people beat the crap out of each other. Its a bloodsport really I suppose. Turnover is entertaining.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i think it's just the way it's being promoted. boxing harks to a different time, with different people. mma is more tuned for the contemporary kid. different life balances.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> williamdunne hey, i enjoy watching some dude beat the crap / get beaten the crap out of as much as the next guy, but it helps a lot if i know them/there's a substantial quarrel/something. << This is a serious problem with MMA. It seems a majority of the competitors are just downright friendly outside the ring.
ben_vulpes: i regard the whole project as touching both terminals at the same time and avoid doing so at all costs
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: See I like MMA for that lack of constraints. Maybe I'm just a joe-sixpack-adrenaline junky
mircea_popescu: williamdunne i guess. don't you think it kinda detracts from the whole thing ? like, "here, monkeys, a silver coin. FIGHT!"
pete_dushenski: actually, come to think of it, mebbe i'm confusing brands. might've been 'skyhook' that was $1k and lamassu really was $4-5k.
BingoBoingo: <williamdunne> Not going to lie, I do enjoy watching MMA << I prefer watching boxing for the constraints ove the combatants.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the nasdaq thing is just, they want to use a centralize custom scamcoin to somehow track pre-ipo trades. not really clear what this actually is, tbh, and i somehow doubt it's more than the intersection between inept bitcoin piarism and vague plans for vapornothing.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes i think 'skyhook' is the cheapest, then lamassu, then the dirty, dirty robocoin.
ben_vulpes: you'd know better than i pete
BingoBoingo: I'd like to be able to consider starting a pro-boxing career at 40
mircea_popescu: as a "sport"... i dunno.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne hey, i enjoy watching some dude beat the crap / get beaten the crap out of as much as the next guy, but it helps a lot if i know them/there's a substantial quarrel/something.
pete_dushenski: mebbe i'm low ?
pete_dushenski: i think $1k for a lamassu is market atm.
williamdunne: Not going to lie, I do enjoy watching MMA
mircea_popescu: i used to watch some boxing many years ago because i was friends with some promoters etc. never got into it.
pete_dushenski: i'd rather watch some younger, sportier boxers. for as much as i care to watch boxing.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i dunno dood. by this reasoning you could put the chinese state budget on "making obama get nobel prize"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> this is the point where i admit this had been all wild speculation and i have nfi. << My point is you could put most of USia's urban welfare expenditure on making potential Black Panther not starve.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I'm hoping for a rematch before they turn 50. Manny's got the aggression and Mayweather's age showed more.
mircea_popescu: this is the point where i admit this had been all wild speculation and i have nfi.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi!
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> speaking of which, was there a paqi-mayw bitbet ? don't recall seeing one, which is too bad as i would've loved to have taken some change off of "the people's fighter" << I though about funding one. Ended up doing a smaller bet on PacMan.
BingoBoingo: Ah. I was going more for the actual size of the cohesive group rather than its influence sphere.
trinque: I've wondered, considering it from the other end, whether the govt's trying to provoke fergusons and baltimores. ☟︎

Adlai: wheelchairs make a lot of noise, i'll put a satoshi on blind
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 16:40:25; lobbes: Adlai, career criminals, sure. But I'm skeptical that a bunch of career criminals would suddenly align against a common foe, rather than continue the 'business as usual' of fighting each other
Adlai: mircea_popescu: ablative agent, although i forgot the preposition
trinque: I skipped forward
mod6: ok all, I'm gonna rebuild this thing with uclibc, I'll have an update for ya in a few hours :]
mircea_popescu: i prolly read to much into it.
