a111: Logged on 2019-06-19 16:30 mircea_popescu: i could keep on forever -- old one, had directly accessible screen resolution switcher. new one -- does not, so that if (for instance!) your settlers 4 wine installation fucks the screen leaving it in 800x600 mode upon closure, either you know to xrandr -q xrandr --output --mode directly, or else you reboot.

asciilifeform: ftr asciilifeform is satisfied that the only final pill against http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-17#1918482 is 'gossip' net, approx. as pictured in mircea_popescu's piece & accomp. thrds. ☝︎
hanbot: mircea_popescu, zero mention of btc anywhere on paxum.com. there's pax*ful*, i guess. for some reason lists market price at a 9% discount, iono what kind of "market" it can be.
asciilifeform: so per mircea_popescu's model, problem of 'btc bazar' is 'uci-complete' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu himself had a piece re 'silk road' where 'some markets dun belong centralized, even if this makes for 9000x headache for user'
a111: Logged on 2019-06-17 05:49 mircea_popescu: in other http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-05#1917374 obscura : apparently the "just as good" (spoiler : not very good) replacement is something called "paxum". also the hardcore wannabes / rape victims gathered around "ethereum" made a localethers something or the other clone, of course.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: ty, fixed. trishophood would be some ways out. The last dozen few month's blog posts are mostly thought and note organization.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I have power, Uruguay in general has power, rack appears to have never lost power.
deedbot: mircea_popescu paid BingoBoingo invoice 14
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> that and declining cable interest. << So Antel has a free tv streaming thing all of their customers can use. One of its few channels is NBA network
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: what, no proper old buildings with basement and acres of land ? conace, cule

asciilifeform: see mircea_popescu's earlier pt re why. ☝︎
asciilifeform shared mircea_popescu's 'vidya lament' with brother, who answered 'did he ever 'rage of mages' '

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: laff, but they opened a 'biznis cs' dept, for folx who ~can't count.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik there aint even a wet stain left, of these pretensions, today
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at one pt thse people had pretentions, to being 'applied maffs'

a111: Logged on 2018-10-02 01:24 mircea_popescu: so you know, "usa is the powerfulest thing ever" "reheheally" / "oh, #metoo matters" "where ?" and so on ad infinitum.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-22 14:23 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw they always Officially print 'when crossing the border' (recall the ru d00d kidnapped 'in spain' etc.) it's the new 'shot while escape'.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-08 10:53 mircea_popescu: meanwhile, in "decay of sanity under pressure from the organized & militant ustards" : http://archive.is/3j1pW#selection-605.112-605.216
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated cnomad 1 at 2018/06/12 21:46:46 << dood either ran off with my boards or else produced an image of some sort ; we don't know the future yet
a111: Logged on 2019-06-08 11:49 mircea_popescu: in other news, the russkis apparently made a vampire-succubus-orc mod for king's bounty while nobody was looking.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it did, i even got 'portal' to run at one pt
asciilifeform: i dun expect the latter have any bidirectional connection to the former, any moar than the rats which eat mircea_popescu's leftovers in dumpster, have any effect on mircea_popescu's kitchen per se
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu iirc had a piece re why poker , how it was a social circle thing for the rich, and then not. so, unsurprise, coin machines
a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 07:21 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-05#1917393 << then briefly thereafter, fold altogether, once ebay figures them out.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is moar 'life cycle of fruit fly' than 'ancient stones' imho
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu had piece where he got hold of a lolpad or the like, installed buncha '2 chinese d00dz on a napkin'-type gamez, and 6mo later all 'eggog, cannot connect to serv' etc
asciilifeform: since mircea_popescu mentioned 'lyso-fg' -- ftr if mircea_popescu ever comes to conclusion that we oughta bake one, it's all drawn up.
asciilifeform: for systems like mircea_popescu's eulora rsa tho, possibly one'd want >7.5kB/s , but possibly also suffices.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in retrospect, prolly we oughta have made'em daisy-chainable. w/out bufferism it is somewhat tricky to use multiple fg to get fatter stream.
asciilifeform: ( btw mircea_popescu in old thread correctly intuited that you Do Not Want to buffer an fg, but i dun think either of us ever wrote explicitly why )
nicoleci: mircea_popescu, yes, Master
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: '90s, to asciilifeform , era synonymous with the troo game.
asciilifeform: fwiw asciilifeform's 'i'ma build gamez box!11' adventure from 2y ago, ended very similarly to mircea_popescu's : that box is cold nao an' waiting for when asciilifeform next time needs to route a pcb
a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 06:39 mircea_popescu: hmm, did i even recount the sad story of that typically moronic clerk ?
asciilifeform doesn't have quite all of mircea_popescu's www in l0 braincache; it's pretty heavy
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^
asciilifeform: ... evidently this is the 'new gen' of dope people, as pictured in mircea_popescu's piece
a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 11:31 mircea_popescu: is this wrong, should i jus tstfu so as not to ruin the small trades for interested ppls ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 11:33 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, BingoBoingo how's the status, are you rather short or rather long dubaloo liquidity ?

a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 08:10 mircea_popescu: in other lulz, it's funny how "sleek, modern" rounder corners etc bla bla always goes AWAY from productivity. firefox version 5 mn, five years ago or so i last looked, had a bar for url and a bar for search. firefox 4bn, latest vintage as of a few days ago -- no longer search bar. url bar only.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 07:30 mircea_popescu: i guess that means the forbearance window's also closed on that stjohn_piano_2 dork.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917441 << this is moar or less asciilifeform's exact position. mircea_popescu i rec. to glance at ch18, it has good picture of this (i.e. reader is not offered 'use this tape', is offered 'here's how to bake a primegen' ; instead of 'here's magic constant', given 'here's how it is made' etc ) ☝︎
