mod6: there's
a realpath bin you can install iirc
decimation: you need to add --lock-never to make it work, because I am using
a shitty vm-mounted filesystem that doesn't support hardlinks
☟︎ mod6: i've never tested this on 32bit so this is
a first.
mod6: asciilifeform: because how we'll roll out the release: 1) I'll patch the source myself and put it in
a 'bitcoin' directory 2) i'll place the 'auto.sh' in the same parent directory as 'bitcoin' directory 3) tar those up 4) end user will unpack archive and execute `auto.sh'
mod6: danielpbarron: yeah, that'll be
a problem. what os/arch are you on?
danielpbarron: oh uh.. i'm not running on
a x64 machine (if that means bits in processor)
mod6: for all: keep in mind if you're not running the test on
a x64 machine, you'll probably have to edit the vars on lines 4, 6 & 8
mod6: no, the perl script is
a separate thing that grabs the v0.5.3 base code and then patches it. then `auto.sh' pulls bdb,openssl,and boost and builds 'em and then builds the static bitcoind
mod6: it's
a bourne shell script /bin/sh
mod6: oh, i guess im running
a deb6 ami up there.
decimation: yeah cross-platform is
a pain in the ass
mod6: it seems, everyone has
a mixed bag so it's hard to account for all of that i think.
decimation: it's probably
a good idea to get it working on centos6 because that's pretty much the 'amazon linux' shit
mod6: thanks for giving it
a shot.
mod6: i use pastebin more often because it does forever-pastes .. guess.. i just have to set dpaste for
a year
decimation: asciilifeform: everything feels free to mangle
a passing cr I guess
decimation: it's
a little weird to use $HOME that isn't $HOME
decimation: I get
a buncha errors in the gpg_import.log
mod6: i suppose it could be some weird regex failure... although, what danielpbarron pasted as
a manual verify should have matched this:
mircea_popescu: you know it's be so great if someone made
a client that auto-pastebinned
mod6: it /shouldnt/ matter because it puts
a .gnupg dir in the place where you run the script from. we didn't want it to diddle with your normal keyring in ~/
danielpbarron: oh i just realized that the script potentially uses
a different key than the one i have stored
decimation: mod6: i'm running into
a bad sig error too
decimation: mircea_popescu: it's common in the us for
a usg employee to regard himself as 'apolitical' because he wasn't elected
mircea_popescu: not the right sort of morals, these, that are actionable. gotta have some of
a more theoretical sort.
mircea_popescu: "so the wife's
a nag ? doesn't mean i /have to/ beat her until she desists. build mancave instead." on it goes. politicians are idiots ? self-appoint as "better than this" and that's that, work done. not like you have to shoot the bad politico if you can't vote him out. what, /have to/ ?!
decimation: mod6: you could have enumerated in octal and saved
a few characters :)
mod6: yup, it just simply utilizes the makefile. but this way
a person only has to run `auto.sh`
mod6: what's changed? 1) added some checks to see if boost,bdb,openssl are already built, if so, skip re-downloading & building 2) added
a 'clean' command line parameter so you don't have to do this manually
mircea_popescu: ey usually end up being workable. After two decades of fumbling, we have settled on
a de facto standard for computer operating systems. It has imperfections - some serious - but it generally works. Imagine being saddled with
a computer architecture defined by some central planning committee in 1983. At about that time, someone in the U.S. Government realized with horror that all the standardization agreements mentioned
mircea_popescu: "In Western democracies, even in the U.S. where the hostility to regulation is greatest, there is
a vast amount of central decision-making, but day to day decisions are left to market forces.
A lot of the regulation - everything from bolt threads to type fonts - is carried out by tens of thousands of standardization agreements worked out by the industries involved. The solutions that arise aren't always optimal, but th
mircea_popescu: time for bed, and in the early morning
a very morose londoner sat with his breakfast.
mircea_popescu: so one time when
a horse neighed, he got all scared. but the farmer told him to relax, horse just does that, it's called neighing and it never killed anyone.
mircea_popescu: which was impressive to him, because
a) they had food and b) good living conditions (as compared to shitlondon of the time)
mircea_popescu: the story is, that
a london redditard (poor kid from periphery) visited some peasant family once
mircea_popescu: one's categorical symbolization, the other's
a kenning.
decimation: plus the history of the french revolution is still shrouded by those who have
a stake in its outcome
decimation: yeah, but the french revolution is
a clean presentation of the modern 'revolutionary intellectual' and the consequences if he gains power
mircea_popescu: decimation this is the so called stupid wife paradox. it goes like this : when she's young she thumbs her nose at submission, because hey, she's not "that kind of girl". so she finds
a husband instead, spends two-three decades discovering that it's
a rotten deal, then gets to live with teh regret.
decimation: he is now on
a krazy korner railing against usg
decimation: ^ author of the above was in army, had
a son in the army, son died in iraq
decimation: re: the unmitigated contempt california holds for... well, basically, you. < yes, this is noted. every day reveals
a bit more of its true self, if only in its fantasies
mircea_popescu: kinda goes
a long way to show the unmitigated contempt california holds for... well, basically, you.
danielpbarron: fyi the "blue" pogo (the one that doesn't have sata port) is works just like the purple one would if installing to
a SD card
cazalla: i'll just stick to pm'ing it so that i can throw
a bunch of commands until i get what it is i need and no-one here will be the wiser
trinque: maybe version 5 of the thing gets
a USB port
trinque: ascii_field: why does it need
a GPU?
ascii_field: trinque: you're talking about reverse-engineering,
a la nvidia driver, xilinx (see old thread, etc.)
trinque: there are plenty of people out there that don't give
a shit about the blobs
ascii_field: trinque: but before you can even have this line of thought, find
a stock chipset to which you can even port 'minix' without -any- blobs or -any- detectable dysfunction
trinque: no one once ever worked his way into
a market
trinque: while we're veering towards the "there are no computers" topic, what's wrong with the idea of doing
a little lisp-running raspberry pi competitor as
a toe-hold into the computer making business?
mircea_popescu: there's this thing that happens once something becomes "
a solved problem".
ascii_field: there was
a pretty clear 'phase change' some time around 2000
ascii_field: incidentally, and i've not seen this observation made elsewhere, but i noticed that laptop mechanical build quality went to shit around the time they stopped costing what
a decent used car cost.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field no i mean the whole shebang, in
a plastic casing to match original.
mircea_popescu: generally
a harem ceases to function over about 50 heads or so.
assbot: Logged on 11-03-2015 19:25:54; ascii_field: trinque: with
a few exceptions (toshiba's miniature 'libretto' and similar) i am not particularly fond of ancient laptops - they tend to be bulky and have irreparably decayed batteries
mircea_popescu: not so much because they don't think i could figure out
a way, but for the more obviously blunt reason that they correctly realise that if i give them
a trojan horse they wouldn't have the intellectual werewithal to spot it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, lulzy to me is the part where these schmucks have gone from claiming "unanimity" three months ago to claiming "majority"
a month ago" to claiming... parity, today.
mircea_popescu: the catch being that in order to avail himself of it, he has to give up some shard of his entrepreneurial delusion, and instead buckle down and work like
a honest man.
mike_c: investors in US follow silicon valley like the midwest follows new york fashion. Now that they are pouring money into these startups, it could be
a feeding frenzy kind of year.
mircea_popescu: it's very weird, this psychology of the failed entrepreneur. he comes here with
a 100 btc problem, is given
a solution that can and historically has covered 1000s.\
assbot: Logged on 11-03-2015 16:38:37; wangxinxi: mircea_popescu it’s possible to hedge. but it seems not very liquid. so it’s
a bit difficult in practice.
assbot: Logged on 11-03-2015 16:32:19; pete_dushenski: “following the humiliating CFTC episode, Blythe [Masters] disappeared completely from the public radar. Now, with
a one year delay, she has finally reappeared… re-emerged as chief executive of the Bitcoin startup, Digital Asset Holdings.”
ascii_field: if they're feeling pain, it's
a secret from me
mircea_popescu: ascii_field anyway, this scurrying to coinbase and mysterymeat is
a good indicator of
a) how painful the crushing of shitvin shitdressen was and b) how scary #bitcoin-terrorists actually is.
ascii_field: nobody in usa gets to so much as look with one eye at 112mil usd without
a gauleiter reviewing it
mircea_popescu: very smart. by this reading, the grime on these peoples' bathtubs is like
a mouse : almost
a life form, and one that didn't go extinct, either.
mircea_popescu: so
a thing that did no work is actually compared to the few things that did work selected out of the large set of things that also did work by the criteria that they survived ?
davout: my read on 21 is "some bitcoin noob that happens to be fiat rich rounded
a couple of other rich buddies, and wants to fix bitcoin"
danielpbarron: probably
a good thing; anything worth using should probably only be coded on
a setup similar to what i've heard asciilifeform describe
danielpbarron: i don't recommend getting
a iphone strictly for this purpose though; it's just
a nice bonus if you already have one
nubbins`: enter
a wifi password? get out
nubbins`: flip
a page every couple minutes? no sweat
nubbins`: i have
a kobo e-reader that i'm pretty sure i could ssh on
ascii_field: trinque: with
a few exceptions (toshiba's miniature 'libretto' and similar) i am not particularly fond of ancient laptops - they tend to be bulky and have irreparably decayed batteries
☟︎ ascii_field: i bought the one with exynos 'arm' chip, it's gathering dust. there is not enough published chipset info to run
a proper os on it
nubbins`: "I was right there, after the talk. It was
a very sad moment. He was really distressed. He started yelling and punching himself in the head."
ascii_field: sums to >>>> 'it's not
a bug - it's
a feature!'
