asciilifeform: and that can search from www, without cluttering chans ( my bot doesn't do PM and i intend to keep it that way )
asciilifeform: i like that search links from arbitrarily long ago are clickable and human-readable.
trinque: if running out of disk accumulating text is a concern, could keep last n
asciilifeform: trinque: this worx because keys are relatively static.
asciilifeform: trinque: and then you gotta delete these ? what if you want the resulting link to remain clickable ?
trinque: my !!key method works precisely this way, actually
trinque: !s search terms
asciilifeform: this obv. worx in some applications. but i dun grasp how one would implement e.g. searchable log, this way
trinque: the IRC-for-input and www-for-output split was contemplated in an old thread. I still like it
asciilifeform: aa there it naturally worx
asciilifeform: or, for that matter, how do you process e.g. PUT? or url params ?
asciilifeform: trinque: how do you keep the serv from serving it up before 100% written ?
trinque: on the subj of CL webtrons, the approach I've used is to have the CL proggie write static html (from another place, even) to a toilet static www server.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 04:29:58 spyked: hat's the usefulness in the end if I'm not gonna do anything productive with it?
trinque: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-06#1934003 << this is I think the subcurrent here.
trinque: obviously a circumstance I'd like to see remedied.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-05 12:28:25 diana_coman: mircea_popescu: do you remember by any chance *where* did you say explicitly that one's less by precisely their investment/time outside the republic?
trinque: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-05#1933879 << the fact of the matter is that there are very few folks pulling revenue from inside the republic.
trinque: bv wishes not to be raised, and I shan't press the issue further.
asciilifeform: or is he completely totalled ?
asciilifeform: trinque: maybe 1st try raising ben_vulpes from his grave ?
trinque: I was just thinking of doing a few pasters, in light of the current paster not looking so good.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 01:18:37 lobbes: I think, in general, it makes sense for me to chew through the logotron "todo" list right now. I would eventually like to get a php version of the reader.py written for purposes of comparison.
trinque: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-06#1933983 << I think this kind of comparison is exactly what's needed.
asciilifeform: i wish folx would get into the habit of fucking posting their barf
trinque: as I say to folks all the time BAD BUG REPORT
trinque: eh "this morning's experiments" don't appear to be on a blog or otherwise documented
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-05 14:41:05 shinohai: Anyway, this morning's experiments show that esthlos V won't press trb correctly. Barfs on asciilifeform's numbered bitcoin vpatches, eg:
asciilifeform: trinque: the vtron may be buggy tho. ( i haven't tried personally however )
asciilifeform: trinque: indeed a shame that he left. esthlos was a+++ fella while alive.
asciilifeform in fact bothered to see whether it sets off the geigers. almost surprised that it did not.
asciilifeform: cast iron brick, sealed with what passes for governmental seal in current-day orcistan, it alone oughta be interesting in teardown.
asciilifeform: meanwhile in entirely unrelated bizarre : i obtained from a junk seller, what appears to be an orcish serial port card made at РФЯЦ – ВНИИТФ . the famous fortified city. at some pt will make photo-reportage re internals. oughta be interesting from 'how did folx who actually Gave A Shit build their irons?' archaeological pov.
trinque: (the various problems with it have been related to replication between pg instances, and not CL)
trinque: but you know, learning is a thing. at any rate, I'm probably going to muntz a tad further and vpatch this weekend.
trinque: I was by no means a lisp expert when I wrote the item, so in re: languages thread, I don't think it should reflect on CL
trinque: then there's some threadism weird that I solved by lopping off, where an exception wasn't handled properly and the thread died, rest remained.
asciilifeform: trinque: i suspect the latter rather
asciilifeform: as in, if the pong so happened to be in-phase with last ping -- stayed on
trinque: probably the situation was that most times server doesn't ping if client has already.
trinque: in all honesty I think I misunderstood IRC, pinging from client was implemented, responding to pings entirely not.
trinque: looks like deedbot's staying attached so far too
trinque: asciilifeform: yep, I'm going to do something about this right away.
asciilifeform: tho possibly still isn't exactly what we traditionally want. e.g. this , possibly oughta match only space-bounded strings when quoted term ?
asciilifeform: achtung, panzers! about to upgrade 'reader', expect ~10s of down time.
diana_coman: bvt: that is true
bvt: i did not switch to the newer keccak code, as this would not solve underlying issue: vdiff would still crash with large files, just the limit would be 8x larger
bvt: ty. spyked, diana_coman : i fixed the problem with keccaking large files in vdiff here http://bvt-trace.net/2019/07/vdiff-vpatch-blockwise-keccaking/
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 15:25:52 bvt: hello. seems that dns/http of p.bvulpes.com fell off -> deedbot can't produce OTPs
asciilifeform: meanwhile , ACHTUNG trinque & ben_vulpes : >>> http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2019-09-06#1000253
asciilifeform: lobbes, diana_coman , et al : logotron page updated to include lobbes's piece !
diana_coman: spyked: I mean this patch on eucrypt http://ossasepia.com/2019/03/15/eucrypt-chapter-16-bytestream-inputoutput-keccak/
diana_coman: spyked: there is a newer version of keccak that works on octet-sized input but iirc it's not yet in vdiff, might help to get it in anyway (and then see if it still fails)
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 12:55:45 diana_coman: spyked: the "broken" vdiff is possibly the issue with "exploding" because of using the initial version of keccak that stores each bit on a full octet-space?
spyked: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-06#1934123 <-- huh, whaddaya know, that was the problem! ty, diana_coman! unfortunately baking a patch isn't as simple as "vdiff a b", because sbcl comes with binaries included. :| will get to this when I'm back home
BingoBoingo: Macri claimed "free market, Argentine banks finally safe" and then he Christina'd
BingoBoingo: There's also been a lot of butthurt from Argentines that the banks in Uruguay don't want to deal with them.
mircea_popescu: wtf does that even mean
BingoBoingo: Well, god forbid any incoming money make it to the intended recipient. God forbiding any money make it in comes later
mircea_popescu: exact above discussed crab mentality, aka the true core of socialism. "We might be fucked in the ass, but at least we all are, equally so'
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in capital controls on the other side of the river https://imgur.com/a/m0IX6HM ;tldr they have to go to the bank location with forms before incoming SWIFT wires post to their accounts
asciilifeform: btw in re 'countries where can't buy test button for geiger' -- is ridiculously impotent ban; all you gotta do is to (carefully!) collect dust from crt monitor screen for coupla wks, and mix into a coupla grams of epoxy. po-210, 214, 218 . (exercise for reader : how did it get there?)
mircea_popescu: by now, esl ~= substance abuse kinda like "true communist" ~= trotstky glasses cca 1919
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when i 1st read, thought 'substance abuse'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, re-read that comment, still nfi wtf it's about. possibly civillian being clever in spare time.
asciilifeform: however there are some ultra-fascist locales where can't easily buy those (current day ru comes to mind)
asciilifeform: before putting the subj back on the shelf , will also note, you dun actually need the lyso crystal if you have one of those radwaste 'coin' such as comes with old geigers -- can put right on the diode, it is entirely passable detector by itself above 100kEv or so .
snsabot: Logged on 2019-06-07 16:36:15 asciilifeform: ( the 1 annoying aspect of lysotronic fg as currently drawn, is that it gets the +45v bias voltage for the detector, from batteries, as asciilifeform does not know of a 'rng safe' method to generate it from +5 without oscillators )
asciilifeform: i.e. this old puzzler, is thereby solved.
asciilifeform: ( 'TLP3905' only gives 12uA, and the regulator eats ~7uA as heat, but diode eats only picoamp or so as leakage current when reverse-biased )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But they did yield once the magic words were found. Their building has one of those old timey attended elevators.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They are
asciilifeform: pretty interestingly, imho, no such application is discussed anywhere on the public net. almost as if no one ever gave half a shit .
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-05 14:02:30 asciilifeform: thinking again today about this , and dug, found in fact that toshiba & coupla others offer ~single~ cell led<->photovoltaic pieces. and that could prolly connect these in series for the desired effect...
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, to round off this subthread : toshiba's 'TLP3905' in fact gives 7+v out from ~1.7v in, w/out oscillation. and is ~1 $ in qty. ( so 7 of'em, + e.g. LT3014B micropower linear regulator, would in fact give noiseless +40 for that diode. )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: is 'dinama' the same busybodies who tried to confiscate the replacement rk i sent you, for 'enviro pollution' ??
asciilifeform: ( and btw it will only ever work as well as the fleanode serv list given in config. ideally oughta give several hand-picked ip )
asciilifeform: hey diana_coman , didja ever manually test the reconnector? i -- did; but from lobbes's bot i have dark suspicion that it doesn't 100% work !!
BingoBoingo: And the archive link loaded https://archive.is/t5IiJ "Mientras marchaban, hicieron pintadas y rompieron vidrios. Entre los edificios pintados se encuentra el de la Dirección Nacional de Medio Ambiente (Dinama). En determinado momento de la manifestación, vieron a un policía que estaba en una garita cumpliendo tareas de 222 y lo golpearon. Cinco patrulleros llegaron hasta el lugar y la policía detuvo a cinco personas, pero una
snsabot: asciilifeform: time since my last reconnect : 21d 3h 1m
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> some of the nearby folx, have actual cellars, and these have pumps going at all times, sorta like bilge pump in ship. they gurgle out to the street periodically. << This is the midwestern standard. On a long enough timeline every structure with a basement needs one.
asciilifeform: occasionally 1 of these pumps gives out, and then truck shows up to repair the drowned furnace etc. for megabux.
asciilifeform: some of the nearby folx, have actual cellars, and these have pumps going at all times, sorta like bilge pump in ship. they gurgle out to the street periodically.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: these here swamp dwellings are built sorta like those huts in vietnam. there's a concrete plinth, and ~1m columns, on these -- the floor.
asciilifeform: more interestingly, on subj, when put in 'ikea' desk, found that it is impossible to keep ball bearing still on it, no matter how legs are adjusted. the 'wood' gives under weight of displays etc.
asciilifeform: structure is circa 1960 , i think.
mircea_popescu: nice for the swamp
asciilifeform when moved into current woodpaste, went in it when it was empty and put ball bearing on the floor. it didn't move.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-01-16 10:41:11 BingoBoingo: The only reason mod6's sill plate problem is exceptional is someone looked at his sill plate. In USistan most people don't know they have the sill plate problem because they never look.
mircea_popescu: ustermites build out of woodpaste not stonepaste tho
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Just entering into the record the US insanity where residential spaces are never standard.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we weren't even in hruscheba, but in the 19th-c-converted-to-kommunalka . still 100% square walls.
BingoBoingo: So when there was a fad like dormers to increase upstairs space in the mid 20th century, structure be damned 40 year old stick structure gets dormers.
asciilifeform: hm i vaguely recall a thread where lobbes , i think, exclaimed 'i just put my foot through the fucking floor'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Termites and age. There is a certain point arount the 1910s where in the Midwest they simply stopped demolishing and kept adding.
BingoBoingo: Back at the Orange Despot the kitchen cabinet girls were the most specialized, because their job involved breaking the news to customers that they can't just sum the cost of the cabinets because their home's structure sucks.
asciilifeform: is 'off plumb' a midwest thing, or wat
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dafuq, floor sunk, walls off plumb?! i'm in the most starvation-grade hovel here and my floor is level, and corners are 90 degree
BingoBoingo: In the US where the primary use of wood is structural all sorts of complications emerge that you gotta count during the site survey. How much is the floor sunk and where. How far off of plumb are the walls, etc, etc
BingoBoingo: I dunno that propper cabinetry can be a mass product rather than build to suit
