a big deal so much as just getting some damn sleep.
ben_vulpes: managing
a family of bolts in Musk's Rocket just didn't charm me.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform>
a greybeard and squad of monkeys parts them out, maintaining the handful in some semblance of working order. << it was either the monkeysquad or computers for me
mircea_popescu: "As you can see, I mortgaged my future. Instead of staying with my wonky-but-free ways of doing things, I shifted all of my stuff over to the Mac. It gladly embraced all of it and jealously took it in, never to give it back. Now when I want to get back out, I have to do all of the work I thought I had managed to avoid by using
a Mac in the first place." << WORD.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: derpy? i mean culty. <<< dude you may be the only head of
a foundation that says such things.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> this is
a top reptilian priority. << this lizard hitler thing requires too much competence to be plausible. i prefer by miles and acres the "bureaucracy controlled by their enemies" interpretation.
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Never too early for beer. If you want to put
a serious offer in on
a butler though...
fluffypony: so
a written warning should fix that going forward

a "walk with me" for
a week or two straight they'd start worried they got fired and everyone forgot to tell em.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: (not
a misprint! there were once intelligent, educated woman programmers in usa. but when the profession became 'blue collar' - akin to, e.g., cement mixer operator - they mostly disappeared.) << chetty being one of them.
mircea_popescu: by the way, the dark meadow is probably the best ipad game ever made. it's so good in fact it's definitely giving the platform
a reason to exist.

BingoBoingo: I'll prolly ust wait until I can buy
a fucking blue water capable boat though
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: have to understand, jet fighter is not really
a complete machine. it is
a tentacle of the larger industrial slave empire which produced and employed it. much like your finger cannot function for long or very usefully unless attached to the rest of you << so very aptly put.
☟︎ BingoBoingo reminds exploring the Darien as
a land route to freedom...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: literally, piles << quite. for
a while in the 90s the way to get
a cessna or local clone was to go to the pile.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I grew up in
a town that is white, but Kraut rather than Anglo trash

a rack for 2015.

a german.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes generally, get
a dedicated/colocated box, run w/e.
BingoBoingo: The "city" they were in as understood by
a poor american is gone, but...
mircea_popescu: if you can live with
a cpanel account i can spin you one up rightnao.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla im kinda against giving any money to "least effort" sorta providers, because it narrows the pie for the legitimate guys. if i want 10 items of which one is rare, i WILL NOT buy the 10 from any of the shops that don't carry the 10th. that way that guy gets some nice business and the idiots get
a valuable signal.
kakobrekla: this thing is
a ba subdomain, its 'hot'. not for do. needs
a different home.
kakobrekla: it could be someone fucked up the incoming and outgoing traffic again. would not be the first time. not even the second. probably not even the third. in
a month.

a small piece, but nobody owns the whole thing
kakobrekla: someone with
a fat pipe, rejoin every 30 min, problem fixed
☟︎ BingoBoingo: mikaeldice: I run

a game console, no shame as long as you protect the rest of the internet from it
mikaeldice: I reinstalled Windows as
a dual boot after
a couple years of solely Debian so I could play
a game.. It felt dirty.
mircea_popescu: babbys_first_bit: i have
a shitty laptop that I've devoted to my cold storage, disabled wifi etc <<< check out noob with solid plan.
mircea_popescu: -assbot- Welcome to #bitcoin-assets. To get voice (ie, to be able to speak), first identify with gribble and then send "!up" to assbot in
a private message. If you do not have
a WoT account, try politely asking one of the voiced people for
a temporary pass. If you get flooded upon connection, go to #Freenode ask for
a cloak come back under
a different name.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There's
a utility to this though. There's
a reason why men range counter tenor to contra bass and yet castrati are something else
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> and they're all from some moron reservation <<< how would it work so that
a large crowd is anything else ?
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> The truth is though that Bitcoin is still an obscure thing << quote. but for that matter, theatre is still
a fucking obsscuire thing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Almost. Loper is
a big site though. You are TempleOS without the Dopamine blockers.
decimation: think how
a cracked window makes
a dark room 'light'
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell PinkPosixPXE hey friend got
a minute?
BingoBoingo: decimation: I wouldn't be surprised if that status is in flux. The way Lambert Intl's runways are set... peace in Ferguson is almsot
a pre-requisite for safe departures
decimation: "“There is really ... no option for
a TFR that says, you know, ‘OK, everybody but the media is OK,’ ” he said. The managers then worked out wording they thought would keep news helicopters out of the controlled zone but not impede other air traffic."
decimation: the only armored aircraft I know usg flies is the
A-10, and they are trying to get rid of them
undata: the guy that flew
a plane into
a TX IRS building
decimation: typical FM receivers 'pick' the strongest signal upon which to lock their PLL and thus capture the full output. One can experience this with FM broadcast radio in the car, as you are on the edge of
a station's coverage - you hear 'flutter' as your radio switches between two stations
decimation: unlike FM, two people can 'speak' on AM radio simultaneously while being simultaneously intelligible to
a third party
decimation: whereas FM might drop out for
a few microseconds and one wouldn't notice
decimation: right, the other problem with digital schemes is that they tend to work well down to
a low SNR, and then utterly fail
decimation: because when you want help in burning wearing
a mask, you don't want to save bandwidth
decimation: because the shitty codec (made by
a proprietary chip company called dvsi) sounds even more shitty while wearing oxygen mask
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, that plus usg has generally used the power of printed dollars to make it such that most people don't pay taxes, making compliance
a non-issue
decimation: which can usually only either receive the control channel or
a data channel at any one time
decimation: well, typically the feed that is being relayed on those websites comes from
a 'track-tracker' scanner
decimation: BingoBoingo: it would be useful if someone had
a copy of rachel by the bay's apco-25 widget running there
decimation: asciilifeform: what amazes me is why
a tax revolt hasn't happened yet
undata: ben_vulpes: maybe in
a bit; lets see if I don't screw everything up
