phf: oh yeah,
they have
their own shell
that's not a shell
thing
phf: microsoft did a "pivot" under
the indian guy and "embraced" "open source".
they have an aws competitor, and a user space lunix and i don't know what else.
andreicon: asciilifeform: i've been
trying
to set up a honeypot, i strive
to be on
the good side
andreicon: i usually write my own, but i never
thought
to include a get
to favicon
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> lol i had nfi you could get
these on microshit's hoster << Recent-ish
thing
andreicon: i don't believe burp does
that iirc
BingoBoingo: <andreicon> i believe
this is
the usual behavior for browsers << Normal for good scrapers
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ah lol institutionalized cuckoldry << Nah, pretty
typical role for
the young homosexual male. When
the women got fat and
the gays went mainstream became "fag hag" phenomenon.
phf: drill in pi is a legitimate device
though. "don't want
to
think anymore"
mircea_popescu: anyone seen frankenhooker ? i heartily recommend, exact rendition of us-born "STEM" idiot.
the dude with
the power drill.
mircea_popescu: "but it doesn't work" "well yea but i got
this power drill, will fix brain."
mircea_popescu: "i'm with
the flight research community" "do you fly ?" "oh, no. well... sometimes we do whippets."
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 15:06 phf: and
they are coming from
the "formal verification" direction, via spark
phf: mircea_popescu: considering
that i oversee a handful of web developers, while barely working myself,
the joke about "he fell from
the guard
tower" is very apropos :o
andreicon: holy ssh, is
that your local hostname?
mircea_popescu: so you're
telling me windows isn't just a skin on a functioning machine, but an actually dysfunctional from
the ground up one ?
mircea_popescu asks question, discovers in response
that he had nop fucking idea.
mircea_popescu: you mean
they got
their own
tivo over
there
to
this degree ? no ssh ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but
the ip must run some kind of machine no ?
mircea_popescu: this is where Framedragger interjects
to explain why azure isp was not in his whole internet scan!
phf: i like digitalocean,
though judging by
the articles coming out about it's not long for
this world re sanity
andreicon: we can't allow
the music
to stop now, can we?
andreicon: my
tiny rpi won't run kodi and apache at
the same
time
mircea_popescu: not bad at
that. i guess plenty of people may go
to
the
trouble
to curl -A "blabla" but few will also add a spurious favicon hit.
andreicon: i believe
this is
the usual behavior for browsers
andreicon: looking at
the logs i see he got it
mircea_popescu: rather
than buy multipurpose
trucks and excavators and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for an example of actually
trying, any large open pit mining project will do ;
the sort where
they can aford (ie, it makes economic sense)
to design
their own single-run machinery.
mircea_popescu: apparently one of
the most poisonus critters. only lives on bananas.
mircea_popescu: worth a read. bandiera nera and all
that mountains of greece
tiganiada.
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
the military history of italy in ww2 is almost as amusing as
the colonial history of scotland.
mircea_popescu: which is how
the russians got
to germany while
the us was figthing
the "heroic" monkeys of italy.
mircea_popescu: usg hasn't
tried anything since ww2. and even
that was half-ass
mircea_popescu: wtf, if i actually have
to clear jungle i'll bring in hydraulics not futz with a million blades held by a million locals.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform point being -- ancients did. just,
they
thought about
things nobody cares one wit ore way or
the other
today.
phf: right,
this is more of a worker knife. i've seen it used at construction sites for example
to shape
the beams
mircea_popescu: there's a dazzling depth
to
these pointless shits, which is why
the whole "oh i wonder why ancient people didn't spend more
time
thinking -- i could derive all of euclid in an evening" is so amusing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: also has
to be sharpened "correctly".
too sharp it embeds,
too dull it
tires you prematurely.
mircea_popescu: phf if you
triedf
to junglewalk with
that
thing you'd be blind for all
the shit it drags into your face. machete blade is curved
the other way,
to (if used in
the right manner) repell everything at a 45ish angle
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ayup. all primitive societies practice a sort of adolescent male cock caging as a cultural, ofthen
the ONLY cultural endeavour.
mircea_popescu: phf ah
that's a rather different item. it's not properly a machete, more like a sort of kukri.
mircea_popescu: it is one of
the more obvious illustration of
the "sexual relations === education" relationship.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, for alf's benefit since he keeps asking about afghani survival skills :
the social dynamics of peace is
that
the upper crust girl will erotically fixate on
the foreign devil with some frequency ; and without exception she will have local cicisbeo xn ; and such a local will attempt
to impress her by
training you, with some frequency. becauyse hey, he figures
the distance'd illuminate for her dumb female head how
mircea_popescu: phf i had a local guy who was
trying
to impress a local girl explain it all
to me. fibers, man!
phf: there's a scene in samurai executioner comic book, where main character is cutting wood with a very similar looking knife, observed by a local youth.
the kid later
tries
to repeat
the move, and complete fails
to even penetrate
the surface. pretty much where i'm at with all
this :)
mircea_popescu: (jungle expedition consists of
this person at
the front doing a sideways circular motion with
the machete
to cut
through all
the gunk
that grows everywhere.
the men rotate at
the front because it's hard fucking work.)
mircea_popescu: not full speed,
they manage an incredible coupla miles an hour, but still, human. i count for a 14yo boy i guess.
phf: also
they use it
to hack
trees for kindling, etc. i
tried using
the knives for
that purpose during camping, couldn't do much damage either. i suspect, yes,
there's a
tricky
technique
to it.
mircea_popescu: phf it's all because of mommentum. counter-military blow,
the blade decelerates just as it hits somehiw. i can't do it either.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the problem of steel is not altogether a
trivial matter of material science. nor is hand forging
the universal solution. gotta make
the steel for
the purpose, as it were.
phf: yes, and since you reminded, i retract
the unskilled part. i
tried recreating
the move, nearly hacked my hand off a few
times, but not much damage
to
the coconut
mircea_popescu: phf do
they do
the one hack while holding
the fruit move
there ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo "which
they suppose will resort from
their latest" << resort dun work
that way. <<
ty fxd
phf: but
then i bought a handful of hand forged (non-artisanal, but for cutting coconuts and other such low skilled labor) knives in india. easily outperforms all
the junk i had at home, apart from solingen cooking knives
mircea_popescu: altogether very well made knife, and wouldn't shame
the milanese.
mircea_popescu: no longer are
the chinese
the short yellow men of yore. actual steel.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally :
the pineapple hacking device is
this chinese blade i bought on a lark.
turns out it's
the best steel i own / have seen in a long while.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf
that restores my faith in apple engineering. could buy its own ass!
phf: no, only connected
to internal
tracking
transceiver
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform an amusing novelty might be a glonass/gps receiver, with a large "has WW3 started ?" sign
to go off once it receives neither/.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-02 02:06 mircea_popescu: and speaking of
the "новые высоты прогресса и цивилизации", it can't quite escape one's notice
that EVERY SINGLE FEMALE of reproductive age without exception lives in
this
thing where
the bed is always within physical reach.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "which
they suppose will resort from
their latest" << resort dun work
that way.
mircea_popescu: 16k lines in five weeks ? how
the hell does anyone even keep up with
this
thing.
jhvh1: mircea_popescu:
The operation succeeded.
