BingoBoingo: decimation: Not necessary, just create
a better definition of second
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Convenient political fiction to cover
a simple rounding error
BingoBoingo: Seriously, pick
a better number of cesium vibrations for the official figure
mod6: you know, before I did any of that, i thought about doing
a detached sig, but then i wondered if something really funky would happen, like it would get somehow added to the patch-list automagically, and it doesn't belong there either.
assbot: Logged on 26-10-2014 21:44:02; asciilifeform: till we have
a gpg that clearsigns without escape char mutilation - we got this.
devthedev: Soteriology puts
a killing on my brain
BingoBoingo: trinque: In this tome
a lot of OpenBSD specific stuff, but also general good practices. M W Lucas also has
a sudo mastery book as part of his security trinity.
trinque: BingoBoingo:
a best-practices in general thing or something specific to openbsd's sudo?
BingoBoingo: trinque: M.W. Lucas is
a sort of sage for commonly overlooked sysadmin stuff.
BingoBoingo thinks Brent Cook going to OpenBSD is one of the best things to happen to Linux in
a long time.
trinque: BingoBoingo: fired it up in
a VM and felt like I sort of knew my way around
decimation: eh. I've played with openbsd - it's not
a very big ecosystem
trinque: I'm going to afk for
a bit and finish up some work stuff, then see about haxing on the bot
BingoBoingo: Dunno why deedbot would need
a deed.py client though
BingoBoingo: Generally for mandatory creep. If
a deed.py client for deebot materialized later...
BingoBoingo: trinque: If Deedbot has
a need for sounds...
BingoBoingo: trinque: Thanks. Made with "Noteworthy Composer"
a lowest bidder sort of Win32 music typesetting software that can output to MIDI
decimation: not that
a regular 'leatherman' (sans knife) couldn't go
decimation: perhaps the 'digitization' of
a piano keyboard is
a convenient simplification for the brain - structure allows creativity, etc
nubbins`: if i'm not mistaken, your problem is the inability to express your tune as either notes or as
a hum that can be recorded
nubbins`: i once dated
a woman who worked at
a craft store.
a guy comes rushing in one day screaming about music paper. he needed to write down the notes in his head before he forgot them.
nubbins`: but the actual sound production side of it is 100% analog, so full granularity on pitch, tone,
a bunch of other things
decimation learned '
a' (440 hz) by listening to 'wwv'
nubbins`: asciilifeform it's got
a digital step-sequencer built into it, so once you find your correct input tone, you can map it to
a step.
nubbins`: asciilifeform i dunno man, it honestly sounds like
a 'tribe can do what you're describing
BingoBoingo: Tuba is
a great instrument for outputting polyphony solo
nubbins`: as long as you can twist
a rotary encoder, you can set notes
nubbins`: i might have to get him
a monotron
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: After the war I might have to get you
a tuba, instrument of kings
nubbins`: like this, but with
a nicer suitcase
nubbins`: alf, you seem like the kind of guy who would, in another life, have
a massive modular synthesizer in your basement, patch cables and eurorack modules all over the place
thestringpuller: not
a big deal just have to scroll to see other pieces on qntra front page
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: random: is there
a reason the piece doesn't do "Continued reading"?
assbot: "Bingo bongo" just wrote
a stunningly beautiful pice euthanizing the new Greek Minister for Economics. It's
a joy to read.

BingoBoingo: Damnatio Memoria sort of thing, but if someone want to dump some history I'll pull
a thing together.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Do you have
a good file on the Bitcoin Magazine drama. I'm at
a loss for history on that one.
mircea_popescu: lol "i advise people to learn html, becausre that's
a language and it worked for me. wut ?"
BingoBoingo: The thing that sold me on WC as
a fraud is that and actual master carver would focus on edges instead of relief making the BfL dildo feathered and much more painful.
mod6: ok i re-sent with
a new version number and "<modsix at gmail dot com>" written in by me.
mod6: i'll send out
a new copy.
nubbins`: although you guys do miss out on
a lot of witticisms
nubbins`: i disconnect often enough that authing isn't really
a priority
trinque: seems like there are
a few ways
a mind can break
mircea_popescu: there's always one of these, that came in and ruined "
a good thing". prollly the chinese i gues, tho you never know.
trinque: the idea that being embarrassed about discussing money for example makes them
a good communist
trinque: mircea_popescu: congregate and resolve to be bad at new-ruling-ideology to make
a point?
mircea_popescu: it's
a lot of... welll.... actually it looks
a lot like liberal-radical-on-reddit, in the early stages.
trinque: mircea_popescu: maybe when they're all in chains they can dig holes then fill them back in for
a while
mircea_popescu: trinque i suspect they actually understand this pretty well, which is why the vehehehery gingerly treatment of actual powers that be, and the very loud derpage around idiots asking for
a cock in their ass, like schwarz.
trinque: I expect
a collective mental breakdown followed by wailing and gnashing of teeth instead
trinque: mircea_popescu: perhaps when the state tucking them in at night fails to do so for
a sufficient number of days
mats: the SS certainly doesn't have
a good record
mircea_popescu: these aren't hard problems in any sense anymore. they're onyl still hard for retards. otherwise, the safety of "designated importants" ios
a matter of public mercy
mircea_popescu: the sad fact of the matter is that the same general development that allows derps like yanis souflakis to pretend like "he can distinguish inflation from product improvement" also allows anyone who isn't
a redditard and has
a day's leisure to build
a missile ; and anyone that isn't iran and so mentally retarded to build
a nuke.
trinque: rc plane with
a gopro... definitely deserves 20 years in prison
mats: we had
a few in my intel section while i was in, fucking things would fall out of the sky
a quarter of the time, 20 mins into flight
mats: why would you want to buy
a fucking raven anyways?
mircea_popescu: tbh, if you're going this avenue you're better off firing
a home made sol-sol missile at the target than hitting them with
a homemade drone
mats: you have
a point...
mats: i think the WASP is
a more economically feasible approach
mats: and good luck getting that high with
a meaningful payload
mats: na, 'exploding drones' doesn't seem like
a good way to kill
a protected person
trinque: seems
a place for rot to accumulate, not coherent action
