a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 01:27 mircea_popescu: dos is probably
the last capsulable item. and it has no broadband.
trinque: to have one's life's work end up on
the longest chain, and not discarded.
☟︎ trinque: one advantage of being one of
the least educated guys here. "my life is wasted" happened ~decade ago.
trinque: not as if I wouldn't like
there
to be recourse here.
mircea_popescu: tis a bitter pill
this, "computing never actually worked. ever. period."
trinque: you can't recall
the "but intel nics" loop yourself?
trinque: asciilifeform: in other
threads you're
the one making
the same claim.
mircea_popescu: dos is probably
the last capsulable item. and it has no broadband.

trinque kinda my
thinking. gentoo === ubuntu, and for
that matter === windows. not really better, just "different".
mircea_popescu: "oh, but we patch
that". sure you do. and who's gonna feed
the boy genius
that manages all
the patchcomplexity ?
mod6: yah,
that shit is br0k3d
mircea_popescu: i don't.
there's nothing
to capsule. have some lulz-debian with
their epic rngs capsuled ? noty.
trinque: I
think phf is right in pointing
to old debian cd sets as dep
time capsules.
mircea_popescu: trinque kinda my
thinking. gentoo === ubuntu, and for
that matter === windows. not really better, just "different".
☟︎ trinque: asciilifeform: no disagreement
there either; here I sit on my own heirloom pistolchair
trinque: could have, but nobody beat anyone when ebuilds decided
to pull down deps out of band into /var/tmp or wherever
trinque: attacker will know exactly what surprises
to apply
to all.
trinque: considering
the million years worth of surprise, I'm inclined
to believe
that standardization on gentoo or whatever else is insane.
trinque: point being how does one not say
to himself, "if connected
to net, what you've got
there is an NSA
terminal, and
that's it"
mircea_popescu: that's what
this whole
tower of idiot boy excrement consists of.
mircea_popescu: there's no problem with
the provision of "decent starts".
mircea_popescu: as i was saying, been
there, done
that, got no
tshirt.
ben_vulpes: so xorg-drivers 1.18-r1 pulls in xorg-server-1.19.3, which pulls in xorg-drivers-1.19.3 which conflicts with
the requested version
a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 21:36 gabriel_laddel: $$ later
tell dina_corman gentoo distfile backups
phf: yeah, i
think
they package
them into srpms, but i'm not sure if
they are mandatory step in
the distribution process
phf: afaiu
the only distros
that preserve
the whole
thing are debian and redhat
phf: i don't
think bsd mirrors it either, it's not mandatory by design anyway
a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 00:38 ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: could one pull down an older portage archive and run from
that forever? although forsaking updates?
mircea_popescu: in
theory
there's no difference between
theory and practice.
mircea_popescu: what's
to say.
the volume of shit you gotta preserve rapidly expands >
the gb.
the work your
techs are required
to do in order
to accomplish
this scales ~liniarily with
the shithub "work" of
the maggots.
trinque: the
thing's recursively hairy
mircea_popescu: i briefly
tried
to do
that on s.mg. it... didn't work out.
trinque: this appears
to lead
to infinite regress
mircea_popescu: pretty sure
the bitching is in
teh log at
the
time or something.
mircea_popescu: after eating however many woman-weeks as
the stupid shit is wont
to do.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-03 02:47 asciilifeform: in such a way as
to judas goat
the authors of said code
to rewrite it such
that it DEMANDS
the new 'improved' compiler.
mircea_popescu: for historical accuracy : /me had bozo bit set on
the above linked item when it couldn't emerge video.
mircea_popescu: i
thought
this is what we're all
trying. only
to discover
that whatever, xorg now no longer builds without gcc5 etc.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you've had
this
tried?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: could one pull down an older portage archive and run from
that forever? although forsaking updates?
☟︎ phf: of course as soon as i asked, i figured out
the right keywords
BingoBoingo: Motorcycle is
too safe
to be cure for hamplanetry
mircea_popescu: "proceedings in rem" and all
the rest of
that scandalous bullshit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the heuristic is, "hey,
this shit not owned by aparatchik ? give it
to aparatchik
then!"
mircea_popescu: fuyck
that shit.
there's no need for a "united nations office of organized crime".
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the piece of shit un is all going into overdrive with
trying
to get states
to implement
the usg-tronic "we'll just steal shit because it belongs
to criminals hurr durr".
BingoBoingo: And all
this bullshit is polluting my searches for "Can [vehicle] suspension handle ramp jumping"
mircea_popescu: the fatsos are really offensive by now with
their "oh, i have a right
to exist" bullshit.
BingoBoingo: Not knowing
that fucking exhaust system means needing
to fuck carb
to match can be forgiven,
that is much math. Not knowing why vehicle designed
to carry passenger ~25-33% of it's own mass objects
to passenger ~70-200% is unforgivable hamplanetry
BingoBoingo: Punchline: "I am staying with
the lighter, nimbler, simpler B400. I love my 400.
Thank You. "
BingoBoingo: " Yes Suzuki, I am FAT! 315 pounds and my passenger is another 225, plus 50 pounds of our junk
to carry for a
total of 590 pounds on my 08 Burgman 400! My 400 is great on power, but supension is weak, even when set on 7 (the highest setting). We need a VERY HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION FOR
THE BURGMAN 400!" << "Get rid of
the 400 ... Problem solved"
mircea_popescu: the pretense of calling
the enemy manufacture chain "improvised" is particularly lulzy coming from some people whose entire industrial process consists of impovising mixes out of chinese inputs.

trinque knows a person who owns a weimaraner,
thing paces in her back yard back and forth between back door and window so much
there's no grass in
the path, has various other compulsions
mircea_popescu: nah. more likely, something about how violence is not
the answer and koombaya
