erlehmann: well, i get
that GNU diff does not actually verify
that
there is a
timestamp
mircea_popescu: yes.
the vdiff processing was arrived at
through historical choice rather
than deliberate design.
therefore i'd say it's lacking it by accident.
erlehmann: full recognition before processing, as
they say
mircea_popescu: pretty fucking epic, if you ask me,
take a fat old nag
to COURT, where she fucking loves
to go, and dreams every day of her life, and
then say
THE BAD!!!1 about HER!!!!!! omfg. and she can't give all
teh replies!
mircea_popescu: he's funny
though, he won a her-fault divorce with some obnoxious cork of a woman
through saying she sucks and she couldn't say anything because lese-majeste.
mircea_popescu: the guy strikes me as dumber
than rocks, but what do i know.
mircea_popescu: well,
they stole one of
the guy's airplanes at some point.
that sort of
thing i imagine
mircea_popescu: those 30 bn do include, of course,
the blue diamond stolen back in 1989 from saud faisal's palace by a
thai janitor, who was
then caught by a lt-general of
the
thay royal police, except when
the
thais flew back
to ryadh
to return
the loot
the saudis discovered
the parts not missing were fake.
mircea_popescu: which is rather convenient, seeing how he inherited nothing less
than
thailand's ~30bn crown fortune (he's
the guy in
the "scandalous" party where his woman was
topless around
the pool o noes!11).
mircea_popescu: and in
today's lulz : bavaria, which apparently still imagines itself a state for some reason, has decided Mahawachiralongkon Bodinthrathepphayawarangkun (that's, incredibly enough, not a german national's name) spends most of his
time
there, and
therefore
they get
to
tax his inheritance.
shinohai: Also BingoBoingo ...
the Noriega article may be one of your best yet :D
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
phf: re fdisk: check
that you have /sys mount
mod6: I haven't gotten openbsd
to do quite what I want yet, even with
the -crtscts flag set for stty.
trinque: on my gentoo box it is part of
the "sysinit" runlevel.
gabriel_laddel_p: I don't have it in front of me either so idk. Have not
touched
this project in a ~month or more.
That /etc/init.d/devfs exists is news
to me, and will
try messing with it next
trinque: not looking at
the
thing in question, so don't know.
trinque: maybe
the kernel is mounting /dev in an initrd, but when leaving initrd, nobody's attaching it
to
the new root.
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I'm
the very opposite of "uncheck happy", I use
the VERY SAME kernel binary being used in
trinque: you could certainly
turn off
the driver which would present your sata drive if you got
too uncheck-happy configuring your kernel.
gabriel_laddel_p: which I suppose credits your /dev/ is not being populated correctly
theory
gabriel_laddel_p: why would I have
to load a driver for a block device? and sdb1 and so on and so forth are NOT created, no seen anywhere
trinque: you will see after having loaded
the driver for whichever block device,
that sdb1 and so on were created.
trinque: also inspecting /dev for
the presence of your block device.
gabriel_laddel_p: I will double check
that all kernel modules are being included, but could have sworn I got em all
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque:
there is no error
to paste. Nothing is missing, nothing shows up as missing when I strace it.
gabriel_laddel_p: I would have
thought
that it was compiled statically, but lddtree
turns up deps
trinque: afaik linux always mounts /dev automatically
these days, so I'd suspect
the former.
trinque: sounds like you didn't pack along
the right kernel modules, or otherwise didn't mount dev correctly
gabriel_laddel_p: emacs, htop, mc, sbcl all work fine, but X11 & fdisk do not, which sort of screws me. strace works, but
tracing
the X process does not
turn up anything useful
gabriel_laddel_p: Is anyone aware of "magic" shared libraries
that must be included with a linux distro
to work? When I build a MasamuneRescueCD fdisk -l does not see any disks, nor does lsblk, in spite of my including all shared libraries required by lddtree --list
mircea_popescu: but
the supposed "fear" merely
translates a desire, which is
the desire
to be not-different from
the rest. which... hey, everyone's entitled
to be plain, boring, lame an' as ordinary as
their wife can stand.
mircea_popescu: for all
the blather,
the famed "blacklisting" of communists did ~nothing, and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: there's no fucking reprisals. so some stuck up brits asked some german physicist living with
two women
to kindly go away. ok, so ? some other people gave him a different-same job.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, and not so long ago,
the ~same "academics" would have hid
that
they were born black, say, for same vague "fear of reprisals". or, for
that matter, gay. what exactly changed,
there's no more reprisals nao because what, let me guess, awareness has been risen ?
renzo: can't argue with
that, how does one protect someone from something
that exists only in
their heda
mircea_popescu: trying
to protect people from
things
they imagine isn't likely
to yield results.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger asciilifeform you will notice
that
the perceived problem is very unlikely
to be a genuine problem.
to use
the familiar field of sexuality -- people also don't hit up on girls, and in direct proportion
to how hot
they are, because
they perceive possible harm may come!!1
mircea_popescu: one day around noon i bought a girl in
the street in nantucket ; by nightfall
the respectable housewives all
the way down
to whitechapel and all
the way up past maine had re-evaluated
their priceless litter accordingly.
mircea_popescu: they aren't, of course, but what's
that
to do with feelings.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-17 22:37 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did yarvin / urbit EVER do anything other
than selling "space" of various description ? it's like reddit by now, wut.
renzo: Have
to admit i haven't visited your blog since
the
time of
the DAO hack... Mircea, what do you make of
this ETH bubble?#
Framedragger just wondered if one of
the functions of "concents" in stephenson's anathem (which i haven't yet read) are
to reduce
this kind of "but i have
two cats and mortgage!" compromise possibility for scientists and
the like
Framedragger: (not
that
this is original at all, just another articulation of same old.)
a111: Logged on 2017-05-25 01:26 mircea_popescu: why not increase income ? it's
the
traditional approach.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-30 14:37 mod6: asciilifeform, pete_dushenski, et. al. I noticed
the slowness of reading from
the USB-TTL
too. i had mine set
to read at 115200 baud or whatever, but still was only pretty slow. i don't have any metrics off hand.
Framedragger: of course. not much use in
the first place. it's not about any mega opportunity / utility loss, just, d00d seemed ~healthy,
there was no excuse (free! relevant shit!), and *yet*. i know
the whole history of
the forum is full of
this, it's just fucking depressing what can i say.
Framedragger: damn,
that response re FUCKGOATS somehow made me sadder
than random $afk emotional
things. "you had your chance" and any onus
to follow-up is now on
their end (demarcation line has been set), yes, lost cause, but still, damn. such a waste of flesh.
trinque: pete_dushenski: cu claims
to be present on osx
a111: Logged on 2017-05-30 20:48 asciilifeform: could be
that academic sees letters from plebe as 'hey, a
talking goat'
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
thx for looking into
the problem from your end as well. s.nsa with
the custom-o-service!
mod6: werd. will
try it later on my end. not with mac
though. i don't use
that crap.
pete_dushenski:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-30#1663190 << ah. good find.
that's almost certainly
the culprit on openbsd. but god help anyone
try
to find ~only one~ such snag on
the flaming shitpit
that is macosx. *spits*. stty dun even pretend
to work in 'terminal' because it doesn't
talk
to serial devices. at all. no luck yet with coolterm, quickterm, etc. either.
they just... freeze.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-04-11 19:56 mircea_popescu: "in
the us
the nsa has powers and bla bla bla. why are you crying, little boy" "I WANT
TO GO
TO
THE USA!!11"
trinque: obviously
this notion of christian respectability must die, but
there it is.
trinque: and you're handing
them a FUCKGOATS, lol
trinque: recall
the guy who got burned at stake for wearing an anime shirt with hot chicks on it at cern.
trinque: you're
talking
to people
that are ruled by "codes of conduct" and so on.
mod6: unified
theory of ineptitude
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The ability
to
take anything
that isn't bolted down and convert into a medium of exchange is an area my survey of current republican assets finds lacking.
BingoBoingo: That and Walartronium is more Clinton's fault. Current heroin glut is all on Hussein Bahamas for
turning CIA into extention of his Choom Gang.
BingoBoingo: The
thing is walmartroniuomists dun learn anything
that would be useful
to Republican causes should
they recover. Opiumist
tends
to pick up wide array of skills useful
to fight against various USG's if only
they recover.
trinque: lobbes: "This is a set of ideas
that I???ve
tossed around with friends for a while. Unless something huge changes,
this is probably
the only viable solution." << oh, ok.
