asciilifeform: 'if this were a REAL emergency...'
ben_vulpes: no, the thing that plays sesame street so that you can play candy crush instead of parenting
asciilifeform: the thing that tells you when the nukes have dropped ?!
ben_vulpes: > parent with television, it makes your life easier
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it's a thing that has 2 modes, 'ahci' and 'legacy' (or 'compatibility') << I refer to these modes internally as "James Lafond Presents Baltimore" and "Antebellum Kitchen"
asciilifeform: this is true since 1992 or so.
asciilifeform: ( a booted up and warm pc, does not use the bios rom for anything at all. other than when you write to it. )
asciilifeform: if you have a very steady hand, and own a plcc puller (fivebux or so, or look in the very bottom of your oldest toolbox) you can do this safely.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: incidentally... if you're a brave man, you can get by without a programmator at all. hot-lift the chip, while box is running, insert blank chip, and reflash.
asciilifeform: shinohai: ftr that thing takes maybe half hour to lay out on breadboard. if you're out of practice.
shinohai: How to make a colorful rats-nest in 5,683 easy steps
Framedragger: ah ty!
asciilifeform: Framedragger: the relevant article, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1066
asciilifeform: (writing -- harder; some chips have various unlockisms that have to be waltzed through first, or want a programming-voltage, or both)
asciilifeform: well, when you find an unsupported rom, there is always the last resort: http://www.loper-os.org/wp-content/mwredux/romsucker_large.png + http://www.loper-os.org/wp-content/mwredux/romsucker_working.png + http://loper-os.nfshost.com/pub/mwrom/romsucker.tgz ...
asciilifeform: (forget about their software)
asciilifeform: afaik there is no known alternative to tl866 today other than 'spend a kilo$ and use dedicated winblowz box.'
asciilifeform: (it is VERY frustrating when you find that one percent...)
asciilifeform: the chinese tl866 works for ~99% of known eproms, eeproms, GALs, PALs, micros.
asciilifeform: prior to it , i had a massive parallel port thing that needed two dozen jumpers moved when you changed chip types, and only really worked well from an emulated dos session.
danielpbarron adds to notes
asciilifeform: afaik it is the ONLY ONE with documented interface and something like reasonable linux support.
asciilifeform: i recommend TL866 programmator.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: mega-advice from asciilifeform's house of pain : back up the eeprom !!!
asciilifeform: tyan has the option
asciilifeform: it's a thing that has 2 modes, 'ahci' and 'legacy' (or 'compatibility')
danielpbarron: er um, signing it too. or i can send you random string to enclude with it if you want
danielpbarron: mind encrypting the sha512 of that to my key?
asciilifeform: (i suspect that your lilo is not built with 'native' sata support)
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: what happens if you set your sata (in bios) to 'legacy' mode ?
danielpbarron: yeah lilo needs /boot to be in "the first 1024 cylinders of one of the first 2 drives"
mircea_popescu: iirc that bug was eventually fixed but possibly not in your version.
danielpbarron: i have lilo working on this machine infront of me that runs eulora, same hp workstation, but it is using an IDE cable to connect rather than sata
mircea_popescu: because otherwise it doesn't loop and fails to find it.
mircea_popescu: ie, are you sure you put the drive as the FIRST physical device in the "array" ?
mircea_popescu: is that from the raid controller ? "unusual device" ?
danielpbarron: the kernel works. i tested it in grub2
mircea_popescu: "unable to sync kernel panic" anything ?
asciilifeform: ( the raid ? plain sata ? )
danielpbarron: i can get lilo to show its kernel select menu, and then i tries over and over again (with seemingly random time before giving up) to load the kernel
asciilifeform: i.e. true hardware raid.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i have not tried it personally. but, given the vintage, i suspect that it is same chip as on my 3ware.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: mine had an empty pad where the raid oughta be, so i have nfi
danielpbarron: while on that subject: i hear it has hardware raid built in. do you recommend using this?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: phun phakt : that thing uses a relabeled remake of one of my favourite tyan mobos.
danielpbarron: lilo drags in way less code than grub
danielpbarron: i don't think it's exotic. hp xw9400 workstation
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: or are we talking about exotic iron here
danielpbarron: LILO is the last thing in my way of publishing a gentoo-quest for eulora recipe
danielpbarron: also i've been banging my head against a wall trying to figure out how to get LILO to work (should have taken notes the first time!!)
mircea_popescu: who was maintaining that thing anyway!
mircea_popescu: reinstating from the dump is easy, just go into the bash and say mysql < file
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 18:06 mircea_popescu: danielpbarron what format is the mysql database stored as, sql ? its native binary whatever it is ?
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1638106 << whatever the defaults. and before anyone says "why didn't you backup" -- I do have a mysqldump containing most of the articles. missing the last few between last dump and system death. ☝︎
asciilifeform: but, upstack : it is not yet clear which the 'failed language' is.
mircea_popescu: merv, or generally the mongol reduction of persia from a coupla million to a coupla hundred thousand is the fundamental civilisational act. not the building of the scum, but the purging of it. much like "writing prb" is not an achievement in computer science ; but purging it into trb is. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: hey, what can i tell you. if you were in the town when the town caught a little fire, uncle celestial teapot wants you. noli turbare circulos meos may work, but just as well may not work.
asciilifeform: if the sun were still shining on the brit empire, and 'no shit , the monkeys are monkeys, we simply haven't gotten around to rendering them for meat and occupying the valuable lands' -- this position would be tenable.
mircea_popescu: all the speakers of the failed language.
asciilifeform: i dare say, the ones that put on the cock cages ~voluntarily~ -- are.
asciilifeform: which is the 'failed males' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: south kr (or, specifically, the american puppet gov there) was quintessential 'kowtow' : their first dictator was quite equiv. to a figure like quisling, even had a medal personally pinned on him by hirohito -- for hunting partisans in the north (partisans of whom kim the 1st was the chief, incidentally)
mircea_popescu: did i recount the story of the very respectable fellow who lived with us for a week or so early 90s ?
mircea_popescu: when mp was a wee tyke, china was a kind of ghana.
asciilifeform: (and is walking around today!!111)
mircea_popescu: a much milder version of this is how, eg, russia came back ; and certainly how china even became a thing wihin our lifetimes.
asciilifeform: somewhere in ancient assyria, a great general fell into time warp, went missing !
mircea_popescu: the correct path forward to "make america great again" is to kill everyone male and ship everyone female to beijing for auctioning off.

mircea_popescu: note that at the time british liutenant fucked "empress of true sky blabla" because he felt like it that day, the english were also "outnumbered"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: by the time you have 'failed males' lined up for butchery, it's game over, and no one remembers the internal wank.
mircea_popescu: this is a delusion shared by all orcs, including the original jucheans.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd bet they see ~us~ as the outnumbered zulu. not themselves.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that is drastically untrue. the part that has any sort of intellectual future is the butchering of the failed males.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do you suppose their wankery is, besides "oh, we got nothing but teh fighting spirit! princeton lives on!11"
asciilifeform: Framedragger: twist: the part of ru that has any kind of intellectual or even biological future -- is the juche.
Framedragger: (the latter (irredentist) in my mind are filed under 'reactionary' (maybe not the right word), yeah; iac, many fall into these, it seems)
mircea_popescu: as for instance the recent princeton thing may have suggested, /me is not at all fond of this juche business.
asciilifeform: assimilationist ('i'ma go to new york and suck white cock the rest of my days') or irredentist ('i'ma learn to ride horses, shoot rifles, and kill as many of them as i can')
asciilifeform: that there are two basic flavours of how orc reacts to learning about the white man.
mircea_popescu: but what is the observation ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i am making an observation here, rather than prescription. (teaching tiny and hopelessly outnumbered eastern monkeystans how to kill billion-man enemy -- is above my pay grade)
mircea_popescu: that's the correct solution to "we all started in 5k bc, but zee germanz got tanks first"
mircea_popescu: what happened to "butcher all the males, sell all the females into prostitution", like god intended ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in the sense where 'let! whole world gang up on our tiny country, we will soldier on' it is not a shining success, no.
mircea_popescu: seems to me ~= to the idiocy in http://trilema.com/2014/the-death-of-taxes/#footnote_4_55254
asciilifeform: su -- maybe 80% juche; 90s ru -- 90% kowtow ; modern ru -- though i observe from afar -- maybe half.
asciilifeform: orc elites tend to fall into 'juche' xor 'kowtow'.
asciilifeform: means 'bow to the great ones'
asciilifeform: i forget the original term, but translates to eng as something like 'kowtow' (originally itself a corruption of chinese word)
asciilifeform: there is an opposite of it, that you don't get to hear about much,
asciilifeform: juche ~= 'we may be savages, and our trucks have wheels with bamboo spokes, but they are OUR trucks'
asciilifeform: alf is not expert on the east, but knows a little of the insider wank, and suspects that it is relevant, so:
asciilifeform: represents one of the possible 'magnetic poles' for a small, unimportant country living next to great empire
asciilifeform: it is thought to be a trademark of north kr, but really goes back to the time of confucius
CompanionCube: asciilifeform: the north korean ideology? not really.
mircea_popescu: i've been meditating on this, wtf is www even for, again ?
phf: Framedragger: right, you have dom, you have running javascript, can do all kinds of things to dump/before dump. what you don't have through any legitimate means is the byte sequence for a linked object. at least with headless webkit (via Qt) you can instrument cache with special methods that would give you that data. selenium not at all
Framedragger: phf: ugggghhh. (now i recall you possibly mentioning this in relation to archive.is; i see i see.. that's what they do)
