asciilifeform: i suppose 'combustible things must combust' is ideology then.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-07-2015#1201562 << those folks have 'ideology' like a forest fire does. ☝︎

asciilifeform lulz at the memory of how never saw 'cpanel' anywhere until mircea_popescu's

asciilifeform: that, it does

asciilifeform: don't have to see it if you don't buy one, l0l

asciilifeform: i can think of a few cases where it makes sense, but is this one ?

asciilifeform: why colo host, to begin with ?

asciilifeform: whole thing sounds scammy

asciilifeform: perhaps not

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: eth0, dc in, usb for the telekvm...

asciilifeform: with hoster-supplied box, too

asciilifeform: can get hosting on an old p3 (equiv. of fastest g4) for less than the quoted price

asciilifeform: ugh

asciilifeform: (the jacks have to line up with the holes, no?)

asciilifeform: not sure where you'd get a mobo that fits in the original case without looking odd

asciilifeform: (hope to not get lucky & get existing)

asciilifeform: or rather, an addr in apple's registered range

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you do the switcheroo, make sure thing has ethernet mac addr from the old unit

asciilifeform: they let you supply own, but probably has to be the apple

asciilifeform: betcha crapple subsidizes.

asciilifeform: ugh

asciilifeform: but as far as those go, this is probably the size/mass/cost champ

asciilifeform: also i'm not entirely certain why your colo box has to be an x86

asciilifeform: you will not be connecting a tele-kvm to this thing - unless your colo has the serial port kind

asciilifeform: down sides include a total absence of video

asciilifeform: one of the few x86 boxes still manufactured, which supports this

asciilifeform: i esp. like the 100% open bios

asciilifeform: (cpu soldered down on all of them)

asciilifeform: they also sell smaller x86 boards,

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: http://www.pcengines.ch/apu.htm << it

asciilifeform: it is about 7/8th inch tall.

asciilifeform: comes with schematics even.

asciilifeform: i have several, at $dayjob

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: probably physically smallest amd x86-64 is the 'pcengines' linked in earlier thread

asciilifeform: (specs including size and mass)

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: worst possible choice. plenty of boxes with identical specs costing 50-60% of what crapple wants

asciilifeform: best neuter is for it not to be there.

asciilifeform: 'server' mobos have an annoying habit of including 'remote management' crapolade, however. caveat emptor.

asciilifeform sometimes does

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo et al: that's approx. the correct price for a machine of that type and vintage, if one buys from a local scrap dealer

asciilifeform would also say 'rip freebsd' but it died for him when it went with clang

asciilifeform: rip openbsd.

asciilifeform: !up ascii_field

asciilifeform: !up ascii_field

asciilifeform: !up ascii_field

asciilifeform: !up fromphuctor

asciilifeform: that eats arbitrary tonnage of shit fed in from the net, no less.

asciilifeform: what kind of imbecile thought that it was proper to have an unbounded data structure ?

asciilifeform: pogo is going nowhere until we have a mempool limit mechanism. ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: in other nyooz, just the mempool on the s.nsa node is a GB and a half

asciilifeform: from the lulzfarms: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3d8z5x/today_ebay_bans_bitcoin

asciilifeform bbl

asciilifeform: probably oughta begin there, vs the hex

asciilifeform: mod6: also worth comparing objdump output

asciilifeform: mod6: hexdump -C, then diff

asciilifeform: http://janestreet.github.io << unrelated l0lpharm, for connoisseurs of 'functional' prog. styles

asciilifeform: check, when search comes back

asciilifeform: possibly i misremember.

asciilifeform: and stopped ☟︎

asciilifeform: i recall that last we spoke of this, folks signed and noticed that jurov's patch sig widget didn't eat them correctly

asciilifeform: later

asciilifeform: as the war heats up.

asciilifeform: not sure about other kinds

asciilifeform: a mistake that is owned up to, before it sinks any ships - can perhaps be accepted as a mistake, and forgiven ☟︎

asciilifeform: i recommend this habit.

asciilifeform: to see if made a mistake.

asciilifeform: i also have a habit, of compulsively re-reading own patches

asciilifeform: there are other ways to filter spam, no ?

asciilifeform: i advocate - resistance.

asciilifeform: this atmosphere where 'gotta have ssl or else' is an engineered product

asciilifeform: *heart

asciilifeform: trinque: it's also how you get the next 'hearbleed' on your box

asciilifeform: hm

asciilifeform: trinque: why was this needed ?

asciilifeform: or even 'i read this and it made no fucking sense and wtf'

asciilifeform: 'i read this, grasped it'

asciilifeform: and yes, after read, and think - sign.

asciilifeform: trinque?

asciilifeform: (mod6 does. ben_vulpes? who else)

asciilifeform: trust & fuzzies is great, but i'd really like folks to start reading the patches

asciilifeform: feel free to use a different graphic if the old 'jolly roger' has gotten boring

asciilifeform: without becoming crowded.

asciilifeform: has plenty of room for assorted strange.

asciilifeform: (imho a 'feature, not bug')

asciilifeform: compared to most similar boards, it is practically empty

asciilifeform: when they sign it

asciilifeform: normally folks say why they're signing something

asciilifeform: neat

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pay it a visit, log in, see if spot anybody you know...

asciilifeform: usually hovers between 35-50

asciilifeform: presently 47 connections, incl. a bunch of cn, interestingly

asciilifeform: it features my entire shebang through 'stator'.

asciilifeform: mod6: thus far the longest-running test is the s.nsa node.

asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-07-2015#1199502 << thread ☝︎

asciilifeform: to me, at least.

asciilifeform: a signature from a reasonably literate wot face, 'i read this and it made sense', is worth something.

asciilifeform: doesn't imply endorsement

asciilifeform: can sign and say 'this is a bad idea', note

asciilifeform: if you read, understood - sign.
