mircea_popescu: hanbot, see if you can find it, iirc was back in mpoe-pr days
mircea_popescu: i'm too lazy to search right now for the article where some power ranger shiothead was "offering to reimplement mpex"
mircea_popescu: nope, bitcoin has plaintext wallet for years, something i criticized very harshly.
mircea_popescu: YEARS they've been at it, and they have earned all this respect with their useful anal work.
mircea_popescu: because great scientists are discovering great science
mircea_popescu: look, practically : either we ask the user to remember a password, or else we ask the user to secure a token/
mircea_popescu: NOT that it makes a difference, the client key will still be there.
mircea_popescu: the way this is going is that serious player will have dedicated box for eurlora anyways. there's little diff between disk and ram for as long as one uses dedicated box.
mircea_popescu: so, basically, the way this is going is, server on protocuntoo for now and cuntoo in the future ; and ~demo~ client on ubuntu/whateverthefuck, dynamic hell and let the community make whatever it wants.
mircea_popescu: the decision whether cuntoo is to be headless or x-headed has not yet been made.
mircea_popescu: so, basically, the way this is going is, server on protocuntoo for now and cuntoo in the future ; and ~demo~ client on proto-cuntoo and let the community make whatever it wants.
mircea_popescu: or if only people would start running in general, as opposed to the current decerebrated snailcircle. w/e.
mircea_popescu: i'm also not at all sure i want to dictate os or userland/tooling for people running clients.
mircea_popescu: god knows my being an engineer slated for that went instead to be stupid.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even necessarily sure that i want to push it into the gfx stack.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, it's the same pile of junk ; but it's very different in terms of utility / justification for impac tin my mind is all.
mircea_popescu: people don't like it, people come here ask how to help
like good doobies, thing's fixed in no time. otherwise people are more then welcome to go fuck their ugly mothers / cluck on facebook until they fall over.
mircea_popescu: steam TO THIS DAY has recurrent bugs consisting of completely broken installs produced by failing to upgrade its own fucking lbiraries.
mircea_popescu: so i suppose this is the first actionable we unveil here : ima want an estimate on a) how long to divorce dev server from cs ; and b) how long to move client cs on cuntoo.
mircea_popescu: but it's not a proper dependency, just data types nonsense, classes etc, like with the sad "int" nonsense of yore ?
mircea_popescu: as far as just the server is concerned, does it even use cs for anything ?
mircea_popescu: and you verified you can actually deploy this proto cuntoo on various hw, so we're good here : as to 1, smg will use proto-cutnoo until can switch to cuntoo ; and meanwhile ima see what trinque has to say re cuntoo and try to get bvt to patch against it and so on
mircea_popescu: i asked if you can boot on cuntoo, you said no. i asked if you can boot at all, you said also no. i verified why no when you said yes prior, turns out you can boot at all, gotta use proto-cuntoo
mircea_popescu: well, either, both. you know, run them, what exactly could be involved here ? does your car work or is it just drawn
mircea_popescu: can you actually boot the server on cuntoo as things stand ?
mircea_popescu: now practically, seems cuntoo is (by far, actually) the least mangy dog in that horse stable, so i guess we're in the business of making it a horse.
mircea_popescu: this is a fact, and i ain't choosing a while calling this republic.
mircea_popescu: the choice before me here is strictly to either a) tell bvt to desist, as the kernel is too cool to be touched by our derpy hands ; or else b) have some kinda process to use custom, bespoke, patched kernels.
mircea_popescu: once the kernel has a tty hole in the right place, and the right place is under republican control, i'd say the goal has been done well.
mircea_popescu: then as need be use either the historical fg, an upgraded item, or basically speaking ~anything else.
mircea_popescu: more broadly what i'm thinking to do is let bvt continue his work on kernelization, because a) the current kernel randomness code is pure shit and b) using a serial interface as the standard is perfectly fine
mircea_popescu: on one hand, i think it really should not be our preoccupation as s.mg. it's not actually important enough.
mircea_popescu: are you basically spent in that you've said your piece there and you'djust be stuck reiterating ?
mircea_popescu has a ready list of many titles, none of which MEAN anything
mircea_popescu: just drove stylistic choice of form, as it happens convenient.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, and in an unexpected turn of events, your pages are now inspiring trilema articles.
mircea_popescu: the difference between the two readily ilustrated by the issue of recourse : if the fisherman fails to fish, he HAS recourse. if the magician fails to summon, he... has no recourse. can "try again", exactly like before. that's all.
mircea_popescu: ive who buries random objects a foot apart in the dirt, fish like corn cobs alike, because that's what he's doing. even if the former returns empty handed and the latter happens to strike a combination that works, nothing changes : one's human and the other not, one's rational and the other's just some flavour of
magician.
mircea_popescu: and in other importan points : asciilifeform is not a ~scientist~. asciilifeform is a scienpriest. the difference between the two is that the scientist follows some kind of meaningful structure of reality, that is communicable. "paradigm" or whatever. the scienpriest simply follows his own internal madness. there's a deep difference between the fisherman who goes fishing because there's fish to be fished, adn the primit
mircea_popescu: i think "despatch" is more in the vein of what happened there.
mircea_popescu: yes, and you're cordially invited to do it on facebook. you could similarily cook using something other than a stove -- such as for instance, an open pit fire. you're cordially invited to do that with your berber brethren, rather than indoors. and so on.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, "open as in free not as in beer and source as in
source not as in entry!!!"
