ascii_field: motherfuckers i just want
a piece of silicon that samples 16 lines at 1G/s and clocks out the bits to pci-e lanes.
ascii_field: decimation: as far as i can tell, they do not offer
a logic analyzer with sane pc link
mircea_popescu: mod6 the problem is that most people don't have
a lot of o-bsd experience. and i don't just mean most people here, but generally. hard to sell that thing as an "all purpose b-
a basis of bases"
mod6: eh. i'm not sure yet. i'm getting to the point with this thing where i realize at least 1 thing: I don't have the technical experience in the context of gentoo to get us where we want to go in
a timly fashion. My experience in gentoo has been for 6 weeks, never used it before that. Everything has been
a struggle here, for me. Not that I can't do it all myself, but I feel like it's taking me waaay too long. Maybe I just had bad expectations as
trinque: it's just
a matter of having the parts of
a functioning linux install already in your head
decimation: they were trying to 'break into the market' with
a different oscope
trinque: mircea_popescu: built him
a bootable image of gentoo in about an hour last weekend
decimation: I told their sales guy that was
a dumb idea
ascii_field: if i have
a steady state, it needs to show - that.
decimation: heh that would barely fit on
a gigabit ethernet with overhead
ascii_field: may as well be
a winblows item like the 1,001 it competes with
decimation: this is
a problem with test equipment in general
ascii_field: why the fuck would i pay for
a machine with
a 128kB buffer and 1G/s sample rate ?
decimation: these days if you want to buy high speed logic, you buy
a chip where someone else did everything for you
decimation: ascii_field: yeah I have
a friend who used to work at HP developing logic analyzers
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it's really
a socialism problem. the plebeian criterion "it works" has surpassed the aristocratic "it makes sense". this is supposedly... better. in fact it's merely cheaper,
ascii_field: 'who needs
a logic analyzer that can talk to software people write themselves' ? (see yesterday's thread)
decimation: their focus on providing
a reasonable experience for the console user is nearly nonexistent
decimation: I also admit that rhel7 is
a clusterfuck
trinque: also had
a great introductory experience w/ obsd
mircea_popescu: you know, trilema has
a 5 minute delay in the rss feed for this and similar reasons
trinque: yep, and also of what
a linux system is actually composed
decimation: as much as they derp on shit, they still do
a decent job of delivering
a platform that is
a stable target
shinohai: but, i couldn't resist
a play on the yeshiva theme.
nubbins`: you also need
a font with
a # character
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 17:59:25; ascii_field: jurov: what of liquid butane (as used in cig lighters) ? any boy can make
a far more destructive cannon-style weapon with some plumbing, butane, and spark igniter (from lighter also)
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 17:52:04; jurov: ascii_field: and is it really such
a difference in practice?
ascii_field: (you can drop arbitrary dip into
a dip-40 so long as it physically fits, and the microcontroller knows what to do)
nubbins`: there's like $150 worth of concept sketches of you riding
a horse and squinting at the sun around here somewhere
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 15:38:37; nubbins`: is this something you actually plan on doing, or is this another instance of me wasting
a bunch of time generating
a quote for something that won't happen?

fluffypony: Mary Antoinette sounds like
a maid from the farmlands
trinque: clear intent to frame the blocksize thing in the context of
a bunch of other (bullshit) progress!
mod6: but im positive that i'd never get it configured correctly to use uclibc and whatever other configurations are required to even test this patch. even if I get the patch to work, how am I supposed to get this into such
a state that someone else can repeat it?
mod6: could I just pull down gcc-4.8.4 itself and patch? sure. it'd be
a lot easier.
mod6: <+nubbins`> you can't get
a bash prompt? << for instance on my POS box that I bought for $129.00 an x86_64 core2duo, I can't even install the os. All i can do is boot the livecd, do the chroot stuff, and then end up at the grub> prompt upon reboot. when it comes to my instance in AWS, i've had better luck, but doing stuff for me is so time consuming. in this case, i need to get gcc recompiled with patches to see if we can get past this error we
mod6: what i'm sayin is this: without expert knowledge of how to use gentoo, I can't do what needs to be done in
a reasonable amount of time. everyting for me in there is arduous, painstaking.
nubbins` takes
a break from corporate income tax forms
nubbins`: iirc, *BSD is
a completely other type of retarded.
mod6: im still not sure why we're not taking
a hard look at openbsd
ascii_field: jurov: you can get
a few dozen kW of this on, e.g., 'ebay'
nubbins`: so i popped
a brand-new piece of mesh this morning
ascii_field: gentoo is
a nightmare but the non-gentoo world is an utter hell
mod6: gentoo has an ability to allow you to do an overlay .. but holy crap. gentoo is such
a nightmare.
ascii_field: at close range, i'd rather take nagant bullet than
a bolt from arbalest (if decently constructed)
ascii_field: jurov: what of liquid butane (as used in cig lighters) ? any boy can make
a far more destructive cannon-style weapon with some plumbing, butane, and spark igniter (from lighter also)
☟︎ jurov: ascii_field: and is it really such
a difference in practice?
☟︎ nubbins`: i still think he used
a lens to focus the beams 8)
nubbins`: i could do better with
a lens on
a sunny day
nubbins`: ascii_field i think he used
a lens to focus the discrete beams
ascii_field: (there is
a reason coherent beans are more interesting than 'archimedes'-style collimated white light)
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 15:59:37; pete_dushenski: "In Britain, GCHQ’s ability to monitor crime gangs – including those involved in people trafficking and drugs – has been reduced by
a quarter."
ascii_field listened, out of entomological interest, to
a recording of interview with hearn. yes, him. among the expected idiocies, hearn confessed to an interest in 'remote attestation' and 'trusted computing' as 'promising' alternatives to normally functioning bitcoin...
nubbins`: thestringpuller summers are busy so if this is
a real project, yes, otherwise no

☟︎ pete_dushenski: after taking public transport for an hour each way to class when it was only
a 10-minute drive, i started caring about cars pretty quickly
pete_dushenski: then computers came along and i didn't give
a shit about cars until 2nd year university
pete_dushenski: in any event, promises to do this or that 'by the end of the century even though we won't have
a country' is the 2nd lulziest shit all week
pete_dushenski: or mebbe 'gossipd' does exist in
a century but the kids are calling it 'irc' for nostalgia's sake
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla: lmao y'know that's
a point i hadn't considered.
thestringpuller: so garzik proposes
a soft-fork, and the shills act more retarded than ever stating, "No. We need to hard fork the network and up the cap."
nubbins`: as it stands, in canada, it's only torture if it's performed by
a state
nubbins`: there was
a push after this to add "torture" to the criminal code
mircea_popescu: by nature, yes. inasmuch as
a party doesn't fight back,
a welt's
a welt and
a smack's
a smack you know ? whether you kloink your slave or your roomate over the head, whether they consented to it or not doesn't enter in the functions that return "isbraindamage" as aboolean.
mircea_popescu: Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut
a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
mircea_popescu: “I'm glad that he was declared
a dangerous offender, but that only takes one person off the street, and there are lots of Paxtons out there, so the laws have to be changed to keep the public safe,” she said.
