mircea_popescu: in which case, should get a 8+ core amd of some kind, 32+gb and a coupla disks, raidless ok, and then review for upgrade in what, a few months ?
mircea_popescu: so to be clear here, you specifically want two dc hosted machines, one dev one prod ? or are you happy with home-hosted dev ?
mircea_popescu: on trilema/s xmlrpc.php as a private fix (which still dun work correctly, for some yet undiscovered reason spaces get eaten), but anyways, select should output no empty e.
mircea_popescu: $select_tail = "?b=".substr(strip_tags($excerpt),0,12)."&e=".substr(strip_tags($excerpt),0,4)."#select";
mircea_popescu: lobbes, the only problem is that e= is unpopulated. i'm currently using
mircea_popescu: the original trb work suffered from a massive aglomeration of -ev workforce.
mircea_popescu: not that i blame the pm, there wasn't one. but the fundamental reason why "adding more manpower to a late project only makes it later" is that lots and lots of "manpower" is actually -ev.
mircea_popescu: i expect the principal problem of trb attempt was horrid management.
mircea_popescu: suppose you talk to both fellas here about the thing, i wanna follow along
mircea_popescu: trinque, suppose spyked's game, and what you have to do is run the two fellows + whatever we can meaningfully accrete through the tmsr-ization of cuntoo.
mircea_popescu: well... he's practical minded enough to perhaps not waste your effort.
mircea_popescu: anyways, eventually we'll get a troop out of new kids ready and able to actually do useful & meaningful shit in computer science, and whatever, the failure of one particular generation won't look that much more remarkable than the string it's part of.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, you're in absolutely no position to do any of this wtf. aren't you supposed to first find yourself a job ?
mircea_popescu: the sort who save themselves "for later", well... i dunno what they're for.
mircea_popescu: ie, contemplated os ownership is a matter of pure committment. what the world is looking for, today as in the days of the venerable bede, and then as the first day, is people. the sort who commit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, any kind of cuntoo-base for client is a distant goal anyway, seeing how ... no x
mircea_popescu: the client ? ideally it'll be everything ; but in practice we'll take what we get.
mircea_popescu: indeed why bother make it anything in particular, the market standards are so low... runescape runs in a java environment that crashes 3 times an hour. steam is fucked beyond your wildest dreams. nothing works in gaming, it's a joke, there's no competition in any sense.
mircea_popescu: now as to the client, that's a larger ball of yarn. if i have no serious static goal to contemplate, ima nix decrufting effort, because why bother make it static.
mircea_popescu: i can see baking it on protocuntoo ; with a view to moving it to cuntoo, ~if cuntoo is a thing~. if it isn't... no view.
mircea_popescu: the server i'm not so desperately concerned about, because that gets baked once and is good for half a decade or more. diana_coman reported she has a running item, so that's... okay.
mircea_popescu: trinque, userland, as for client ? or as for server ? these are distinct concerns for s.mg
mircea_popescu: as a factual matter, stock'll have to be taken, we can't just pretend lalala and keep sending people to do impossible things.
mircea_popescu: trinque, i absolutely don't want you to pretend to be 20.
mircea_popescu: paying for the sins of historical tolerance-driven complacency, without a foundation to foment the environment there's no people to fill the gaps, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: then again, without an isp our efforts are just as unsustainable on the other end of the scale, i'm not discovering some sorta novelty here.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the os portion remains a major hole in the whole architecture, because w/o os ownership pretty much all our efforts are unsustainable.
mircea_popescu: there's
still zero interest in whatever flavour of the day bullshit, "liferaft" or w/e halfassery is to be called this week, "software as is" whatevers.
mircea_popescu: which is actually what i'll do, i don't perceive the value of waiting on products while people get their shit in order.
mircea_popescu: if you don't want to do so, my options are either to try and promote someone else, or else drop the whole pretense and simply use the latest whatever the fuck it is.
mircea_popescu: since you're the ~only one here in a position to claim ownership of something like an os, i want to know if you want to do so.
mircea_popescu: in fact, that alone's a sufficient winning strategy : tagging stupidity with as much cost as at all possible's all that's really needed.
mircea_popescu: there's some definite value in making it uncomfortably unpleasant for idiots to continue being idiotic, that's for sure.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, besides, you'll have some full time work in actually going through dc lists etc.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, you mean the blog, bimbo.club ? nicoleci runs that
mircea_popescu: ima just change the current "Nov 04 09:50:24 -ChanServ- [#trilema] To speak here you must be voiced by one of the lords. Talk to asciilifeform , BingoBoingo , diana_coman , hanbot or trinque about it." to a "see #ossasepia or #hanbot" and call it good
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, not that she shouldn' t be in there or anything ; but there's #hanbot, might as well make two of these seeing how yours seems to work
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, rather, im thinking a backup #o might be a good idea.
mircea_popescu: an' that leaves of the human hands ave1 an' mocky thoroughly unaccounted for.
mircea_popescu: hanbot, you up to date on diana_coman 's castle logs ?
mircea_popescu: billymg, what's the mp-wp story, did i miss some updates ?
mircea_popescu: gawd, spyked, two months of irc bots till the end of the year ? srsly ?
mircea_popescu: so concretely, lobbes is supposed to deliver that botthing soonish ; you're doing the above, bvt is beating rng into the kernel, BingoBoingo is getting himself out of the 2nd failed reboot of isp
mircea_popescu: which leads us back to our regularly scheduled programming.
mircea_popescu: never, ye hear me people of the future, NEVER take the cows for people. athena made them cows for a reason.
mircea_popescu spits once more on the fresh grave of "engineers" for good measure
mircea_popescu: aite. there'll be a brief excursion in there to get the prod server back up, but yes.
mircea_popescu: in some dumbphone game equate to trilema article reads)
mircea_popescu: aite, well, not like there's any games one can play (i fucking looked, i'm back to playing antique 2000 era stuff, steam's dead, kongregate's dead, everything's fucking dead. half the links on mmorpg.com lead to dead / domain for sale / nonsense items, the other half to steam crap, it's just... gaming's fucking dead, everyone just clucks on derpy facebook fake traffic numbers generators, as fucking if 5k reloads/second
mircea_popescu: it's not, in other worse, a case of "wait just this short interval, will do new release" etc
mircea_popescu: but in principle, there's no good dev-side reason to delay.
mircea_popescu: is the stuff in a shape you want running publicly as we stand ?
mircea_popescu: getting a coupla boxes somewhere in the sense of amateurship so dear to the previously tolerated morons is the least of our troubles.
mircea_popescu: now as to 4 : i'd obviously like the server back up as soon as possibru.
mircea_popescu: aite. we shall talk again about move later this week then.
mircea_popescu: or the usual byproduct of the undisturbed existence of "engineer" cunts, ie, a pile of cvasi-working shitballs ?
mircea_popescu: for that matter, is there even an actually working vtron ?
mircea_popescu: we will have to prorogue this issue for some log reading, because wtf.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, nah, 2015ish item, dork in question was very specifically asciilifeforming all over himself, "oh, will take mp out"
mircea_popescu: next item, moving files in v ?! WHAT THE FUCK phf fixed this as the only thing he did in like 3 years.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, people use all sorta lulz, "encrypted drives" whatever nonsense. it's a ridiculous state of affairs, but it's what we god, what can we do.
