mircea_popescu: back when people could actually wake me up it was
a lot more than that.
davout: sounds like
a cool job, get calls at night about lost keys, show up with
a drill and
a spare, bill $maxint
trinque: can't even make fun of people in portland; how's anyone supposed to tell
a joke
mircea_popescu: the ~other~ stock 1=1 answer being, "does the pope wear
a funny hat"
mircea_popescu: trinque see, if you've ever seen if (1=1) in code you comprehend this literary device. "have you ever whipped
a woman ?" "does the bear shit in the woods ?"
mircea_popescu: ascii_field people are on reddit so as to be with other like minded people. it is
a social function. what words they say... "world's best dad!"
trinque: ah shit his whole family's
a hoot drunk
mircea_popescu: "more worried than
a cat in
a roomfull of rocking chairs"
trinque: "busier than
a cat with two asses" << loads of variations on that one
ascii_field: this is how 'fuck you i'm
a dragon' probably began.
ascii_field: as
a very small boy, i listened to
a 'radio' consisted of
a handset speaker from
a busted telephone (circa 1940s?) and
a diode (pulled out of ancient bobbin deck, also thrown out window by someone)
mircea_popescu: now, seeing how vibration in the audible frequency for teeth has
a calculable minimum,
ascii_field: let's peek back
a few decades to the folks who were listening to cia broadcasts with their tooth amalgams
mircea_popescu: in
a "consumer driven" ideas market... the "ideas" will look like the derps.
☟︎ mats: readers of the log: badBIOS is
a hoax, although the principle of the thing is entirely achievable
trinque: I consider TX
a highly redeemable part of the US
mircea_popescu: same "they're moving up and down on
a patch of land ; we're moving up and down on
a patch of land. what the hell's the difference!"
mircea_popescu: reads
a lot like the stories of the "web start-up culture"
mircea_popescu: there's some contemporary records of "trying to get
a cotton farm going", by people without the resoruces and without the intelligence to understand resources at all.
mircea_popescu: by the way, am i the only foreigner that thinks southern dialects
a lot more expressive, interesting and developed than yankee english ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "Earlier this year Chin-hao Hu and Pai-tsung Hsu over the process of generating
a Bitcoin transaction offline for which they would assign "Intellectual Property" rights to themselves." << missing verb ?
mircea_popescu:
a slightly greater, slightly more relatively advanced empire, slightly longer ago.
trinque: mircea_popescu | and for the record, i hope the us feminazis win the war and castrate each and every us white male with
a college degree. << heh, my balls are safe then
ascii_field: but mircea_popescu has
a point, in that it is necessary to kill the mice before cleaning up their shit - otherwise it is
a waste of time, there will be infinite shit
mircea_popescu: ascii_field the only shit here is in the heads of, again, every white us male with
a college degree.
mircea_popescu: and for the record, i hope the us feminazis win the war and castrate each and every us white male with
a college degree.
mircea_popescu: and an actual software environment is exactly that :
a. people doing jobs 100% and b) documenting this process 100%.
mircea_popescu: the path from the current FOSS, roughly approximating
a spunk-crusted sock floating in
a pringles can half full with week old urine
☟︎ davout: i think both are required, one for the folks who want to inspect, audit or otherwise fuck with the device, and one to turn
a crate of stock pogos into node as fast as possible
davout: danielpbarron ascii_field ah i see, i wasn't aware that alf had
a pre-built kernel that's to be used, i'll work from there, also i'll document everything I do, so maybe you won't need to spend time updating your docs
Adlai: "
A female juror had accused her male colleague of trying to poison her food, and on Tuesday Marino mentioned that the conflict may have involved an avocado sandwich."
mircea_popescu: "The conviction came two days after the judge overseeing the case removed two jurors after
a conflict between the two marred deliberations.
ascii_field: '
A female juror had accused her male colleague of trying to poison her food, and on Tuesday Marino mentioned that the conflict may have involved an avocado sandwich.'
davout: danielpbarron: in your docs, 2.2.2 refer to building
a kernel for the workstation talking to the pogo, not building
a kernel for the pogo itself, or am i heavily confused?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it is normally
a readahead cache
danielpbarron: comes as no surprise to me; that's exactly the bottle neck i ran into when first getting into running
a node
mircea_popescu: ascii_field actually...
a disk cache wouldn't need to be much larger than what, 1mb ?
ascii_field: <danielpbarron> on
a related note, my 5400 rpm pogo cannot sync << i spoke of this briefly at c3. the almost deadly-certain explanation is that there is no ram to spare for the customary disk cache
ascii_field: davout: be aware that we don't have
a battlefield-ready 0.5.3.x as of yet.
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 15:34:28; mats: this week,
a guy broke his entire network stack by trying to install bluetooth drivers
davout: ascii_field: i have the physical pogos you gave me, an ethernet cable,
a power adapter, an internet connection,
a few usb sticks,
a working debian, and
a 120gb sata disk that fits in the pogo. what's the easiest way to set it up as
a bitcoin node
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 16:14:34; davout: hrm.. i was under the impression it was possible to somehow re-flash the pogo from
a simple USB stick without soldering anything
danielpbarron: the thing has
a built in method for turning on ssh without any extreme modifications, and from there you can do all else
davout: hrm.. i was under the impression it was possible to somehow re-flash the pogo from
a simple USB stick without soldering anything
☟︎ pete_dushenski: so unconfigured freebsd has no way of talking to minicom or anything else. it's just
a file on
a drive.
pete_dushenski: instead of establishing
a serial connection with 'edgeos' first, i installed freebsd on the usb drive first
danielpbarron: "
A collection of scripts that work together to manage multiple invocations of GNU Screen to overcome some of its limitations on Mac OS X."
ben_vulpes: ah yeah, but that's annoying and complicated with
a future, unlike your current "dead end"
mats: so... given that the out of band key exchange is the most difficult to implement, that's effectively
a selective backdoor.
danielpbarron: i'm reading the thing you pasted, and the instructions are very similar to adulterating
a pogo
danielpbarron: it's just
a matter of opening
a serial console or whatever?
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron: i figure it's worth
a shot seeing as how i'm at
a bit of
a dead end with osx
mats: i never figured out why, but the kernel seemed convinced there was
a hardware switch thrown someplace
mats: this week,
a guy broke his entire network stack by trying to install bluetooth drivers
☟︎ mats: i spend
a non trivial amount of time debugging ubuntu desktops whenever people break it
mats: basically, at work my team has
a "you break it, we fix it" policy
mats: i've rarely had
a good experience with ubuntu
assbot: Why Nav Sarao Had To Be Destroyed: He Found
A Way To Beat The HFTs At Their Own Game | Zero Hedge ... (

mircea_popescu: davout Pierre_Rochard iirc danielpbarron has
a write-up somewhere.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-05-2015#1117673 << it's funny tho, all the fraudulent pretense. "oh,
a guy we never met is
a founding director, because we wish to have the implication of legitimacy that would offer. next we make george washington founding director, and edit his wikipedia to say he founded the us and our turd"
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
a) they're all the same size and b) every tide washes more in.
williamdunne: Google
a bunch of them, put their location and offerings on the list
mircea_popescu: williamdunne how the fuck are you going to make
a neutral list of "vps hosters" anyway.
mircea_popescu: RockHoster_ looky here : the REASON you don't have 1 btc to throw away is that you're spedning your time trying to manipulate an obscure wiki nobody gives
a shit about.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Yeah, true. Although this page is
a particularly awkward one to upkeep
williamdunne: RockHoster_: You don't qualify as
a neutral source
williamdunne: If its worth enough for you to come here, the price should be worth it. Not surprised that it drove
a fair bit of traffic
williamdunne: And
a monthly maintaining price ofc to keep it up to date
mircea_popescu: williamdunne afaik they restricted new accounts because nobody was giving
a shit and there was too much spam
davout: asciilifeform: so i have finally acquired
a dedicated SSD and
a euro-plug adapter for the pogo, where do i start?
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 03:43:02; decimation:
http://www.isegoria.net/2015/04/baltimore-cop-in-the-hood/ < "Of course, another thing is that most people who can leave have left. And so, in these pockets, how can you have good community relations when
a substantial number of people are actively or passively involved in crime? I think there are
a lot of cops that just say, “Fuck ‘em, they want burn their neighborhood, let ‘em.” But on the othe

a bad neighbourhood, what specifically is bad? is it the concrete, glass, steel?' -- ilkka kokkarinen
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 03:40:37; decimation: of course, the deep expectation is that the world ought to be
a red carpet, upon which said paranoid ought to be able to trample at leisure
