a111: Logged on 2017-04-04 22:32 mircea_popescu: think in terms of that cartoon re final cs class at stanford : "and you are the idiots who didn't get hired in 2nd or 3rd year". same deal, whoring is a fine plan for cut-above-rest 16yo. by the time she's 30 she's either married or too rich to care.

mircea_popescu: possibly the peak of bulgarian tech at the time. those dudes were enamoured with agriculture.
mircea_popescu: was located in teh bulgaria.
mircea_popescu still recalls fondly when bg press plant came online, late 90s. ALL the pretense of westards re "copyright" died that day.
mircea_popescu: there is that.
asciilifeform: ( magnetic writing can last for surprisingly long time, if kept in comfortable conditions -- but not forever. )
asciilifeform: whereas the various things that lived on tapes -- are near extinction, in many cases.
asciilifeform: but as a massively-distributed long-term backup, aluminum is ~unbeaten -- it's probably the only reason asciilifeform was able to find a copy of genera ☟︎
asciilifeform: shinohai: noshit they'd burn however many they can find.
mircea_popescu: they just imagine they may get away with their pretense, is all.
asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu is probably right, the beast has no central nervous system
mircea_popescu: eh, i'm sure they don't imagine the actual blockchain may get lost.
shinohai: They would simply recycle the disks
asciilifeform: a pressed-blockchain aluminum disk set would help to cool the enthusiasm of idiots pushing for 'pruning', 'tx replacement', whichever lunacies crafted for 'let's make'em forget history'
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: seems like all they're selling right now is old ones
danielpbarron: oh you mean they don't sell the old ones? that's always been the case. they make a run and sell till they sell out
shinohai: I was actually thinking about it after my last catastrophe
asciilifeform: things that have no business ever changing, ought to exist on aluminum disk and mask rom.
asciilifeform: (yes, you will need a stack of disks, what, 15 dvd ? that ain't so much. and it compresses pretty well.)
phf: right, 6.0 also had a cd, i think 5.9 is leftover stock
asciilifeform: https://www.openbsdstore.com seems to offer cd. strictly 5.9.
asciilifeform: 'Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!' -- openbsd www. lulzy.
phf: asciilifeform: i can't find any announcement. only mention is on the front page, everywhere else it's same as it's always been
asciilifeform: 'penalties. illegal transport: 1 $. not being chinese while doing it : 9,999,999 $ .'
ben_vulpes: coulda taken the rig in question by law, but kindly agreed to a 10MM fine.
ben_vulpes: cannot use foreign flagged vessels to transport goods between points in the us
ben_vulpes: in other epic fucking lulz, us customs and border handed down a 10MM penalty for violating the Jones Act
asciilifeform: (complete with plush trident, no less.)
danielpbarron: says openbsd in a "jesus fish" that's redesigned to look like a rocket
danielpbarron: actually i'm wearing the hoodie right now, hah
danielpbarron: i stopped paying much attention to obsd a year+ ago
phf: they are nifty cds. with artwork and "theme" and a bonus mp3 that somehow fits the theme. the works. oldschool artifact
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> the thing that tells you when the nukes have dropped ?! << the original inventors of the telethon
asciilifeform: was there any kind of announcement, e.g. 'we stopped because Nobody Wants and Expensive' ?
danielpbarron: i bought for exactly these reasons you are going over, back when obsd was still in favor here
asciilifeform: incidentally danielpbarron were these actual pressed cd ?
phf: well, i bought 5.9 "while supplies last", though i believe they are rolling out 6.1 next
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: modify in this case means 'flip chosen bits'
ben_vulpes: 20 TON PRESS
ben_vulpes: what is scope of 'modify' in this context; can stick in openly hostile machine?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: 'modify' with microwave oven ain't the sort of modification i was speaking of, no.
asciilifeform: a stamped aluminum cd is second only to mask rom in longevity (i have cd 30+ yrs old) and immutability.
asciilifeform: this however is not true of a 'burned' disk.
asciilifeform: (it is not in fact practical to modify a pressed aluminum disk, with any current or foreseeable tech. mircea_popescu and asciilifeform had long thread about this at some point)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: whole ~point~ is that it's expensive.
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: look at how mod6 did the turds
danielpbarron: what is the proper way to deed such an item? clearsign the sha512sum ? ☟︎
danielpbarron: i have an opened 5.5, i can start with that
asciilifeform: i find it slightly outrageous that i have a pressed aluminum ratheadlinux from 1990s but not a pressed aluminum gcc4.9 or trb-genesis etc
phf: asciilifeform: you some kind of terrorist?
ben_vulpes: lol are you one of those numismatic folks?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: where i live they pop up on electric traffic signs (that normally warn of jams, or of how many years of jail drunks get, etc)
phf: i was about to refresh my openbsd version and discovered that openbsd no longer make/sell a 3-cd set. end of an era
ben_vulpes: oh hey did i successfully turn amber alerts off?
danielpbarron: is that just a connecticut thign?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: that must be new, in the old dayz radio/tv stations in usa were fined megabux for switching on the emergency box by accident
danielpbarron: oh i heard one of those "if this was a real emergency" things that actually was an "emergency" -- it said a kid was missing, last seen... WITH FATHER
asciilifeform: while parent -- watches tv
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i thought the latest fashion is that the ~kid~ plays tetris etc
