asciilifeform: nor have i any notion of why to try
mircea_popescu: tbh i have nfi how you could run trb in a vps. i don't think it's possible, not really. would be certainly quite the medal of merit on any software that can handle such. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: course the "apps" are mostly js neh
asciilifeform: ( and you couldn't put, e.g., trb in there. )
asciilifeform: what i meant was, text vs 'apps' or whatever other strange 'modern' crapola
mircea_popescu: ah. then non-text www works fine too
asciilifeform: (not , naturally, as many as trilema.)
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 21:49 asciilifeform: the minus is that it is (yes) in usa, and has very limited support for anything that isn't text www
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-22#1631052 << part of the problem is eg trilema has i dun recall how many gb of acumulated pix. though i've seen very hardcore text blogs and didn't look so bad. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 20:54 ben_vulpes: "has nick joined and parted within the past week without saying anything after receiving voice?"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-22#1631005 << this is not a bad idea, for eventually. ☝︎
shinohai remembers the Dogecoin chan had this, worked exactly as one would expect .....
mircea_popescu: let them fix their problems themselves.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 20:52 phf: ben_vulpes: i was thinking of wiring in an auto-upper for never seen accounts, but given the quality of ups.. i do wonder, if were to up them "faster" maybe they'll talk better
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-22#1631002 << terrible idea. ☝︎
asciilifeform: among the last.
asciilifeform: even in humble auto, ~0 typically, mine was last filled decade ago.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> in entirely others topics, gentoo quest ppc edition has stumbled on step boot-from-usb << entirely typical of my experience of this wonder.
asciilifeform: http://www.parallax-tech.com/fluorine.htm << fluorinert peddler in small qrt. asciilifeform has not tried. but entertaining read.
ben_vulpes: not only is that terrible for your alignment but if you ever even come close to hitting the rev limiter in a car you want to preserve the value of....
ben_vulpes: you want to hoon around the parking lot making smoke? buy a drift slut, don't do that to the wrx
ben_vulpes: the one additional point possibly worth making is that don't run your engines hot if you want them to last.
asciilifeform: you'd have to varnish them, i suspect.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: iirc we had this thread
ben_vulpes: may as well immerse in mineral oil at that point.
asciilifeform: i could picture a water-cooled thing with a very short loop, and good seals (i.e. no expectation of ever being able to disassemble it: welded copper pipes, like your fridge) not leaking.
ben_vulpes: as if the plane weren't stupidly complex enough already, let's bolt another pile of heinous complexity to it as well
trinque: seems like quads are a bit harder to find
ben_vulpes: and if they're water cooled i'll probably pass
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it wasn't the quad ?
Framedragger: trinque: sorry for the noise, man. you're right, of course.
ben_vulpes: i don't think i want watercooled irreplaceable computronium
asciilifeform: was the last 'serious' crapple
ben_vulpes: i've yet to lay hands on a qc
asciilifeform: ( iirc the quad core one, had )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: is this one of those boxes that had liquid cooler standard ?
ben_vulpes sighs a sigh for the days gone by
ben_vulpes: optical media is a go, though.
ben_vulpes: sans incantations because i had no idea which would take
trinque: not that you're doing obsd, but the docs there are helpful
trinque: ben_vulpes: https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/macppc/INSTALL.macppc << I want to say the device comes up as "ud" for USB... sometimes
mod6: also, I think the idea of deedifying my version of V is also worthwhile... I think I've simply been waiting for it to satisfy the constraints before creating a genesis. Once that's created, then I'd say it'd be worthy of freezing.
trinque: ben_vulpes: there's some txbi thing in openfirmware
trinque: mod6: I'm quite happy to host anything that supports trb work
ben_vulpes: in entirely others topics, gentoo quest ppc edition has stumbled on step boot-from-usb
mod6: <+trinque> strike that, all trb deps mod6 deeded; he is hosting the V stuff. << fwiw it's also posted to the ML which is on some other environment.
trinque: and understand, outside of the L1, your opinion on how infrastructure is run is worth nothing, and your "everyone does X, so I can" construction makes you sound like a bed-wetter.
trinque: strike that, all trb deps mod6 deeded; he is hosting the V stuff.
trinque: ftr, all trb downloads come from a dedicated deeds box I've been happy to run as core infrastructure pro bono.
trinque: starting to tire of this kid's sideways manner of talking.
asciilifeform: thing is entirely summarized in the log.
mircea_popescu: and fuck me i'm not reading that ctrlc.hu marmalade. "after years of marmalade im done"
diana_coman: back in Ro, in my experience gipsies had fewer if any such troubles re speaking to women, naked or not; they were quite cowards (i.e. if someone took them to task/seemed powerful around they would retreat) but otherwise not suffering from much anxiety re the interaction itself
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 20:38 asciilifeform: meanwhile, ACHTUNG s.nsa customers! moar FUCKGOATS shipped today. see your invoice www pg to learn if yours was in this batch.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-22#1630979 << omaigerd stop dribbling them out!!1 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: eh. no way in fuck anyone walks up to a naked woman and talks to her.
diana_coman: so perhaps not that much at odds after all; re the female imagined part, I suspect that has more to do with fact that ... "what'll happen" depends on who gets her out
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well... considering what's on youtube, i wouldn't be surprised if they had.
asciilifeform: presumption being that they took photos, of the 'crime scene'..?
diana_coman: that sounds close enough/toward the "make money renting folding chairs" though, doesn't it?
mircea_popescu: i have nfi. he never heard of tumblr i guess ?
asciilifeform: how would that work
mircea_popescu: was trying to get phones from the people around "for evidence".
mircea_popescu: i imagine he ran. also i don't imagine he got any this year.
mircea_popescu: i think he was married. there was a very hot and bothared youth. he made it first.
ben_vulpes: what, he wasn't going to offer you one for the privilege of staring at your babe?
mircea_popescu: because, he points out, also not to be done in public.
mircea_popescu: which i deduce is their slang for smoking pot.
mircea_popescu: anyway. sarge explained to me that it's not done here. and also wanted to know if i "consume"
mircea_popescu: i suspect everyone in the field just HAD to come over to see this wonder. i'm guessing they literally never heard of such before.
asciilifeform: here in northern monkeystan 'no papers' is a guaranteed trip to the station.
mircea_popescu: apparently they're very enamoured with the idea that you get robbed here. nfi why. i guess it keeps them in jobs.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it was lulzy, "let's see your papers" "well i don't carry them" "why not ?" "the embassy told me not to because i'll get robbed." "oh".
mircea_popescu: somewhat at odds with the public imagination of you know, gangrape-till-daybreak (if imaginer is female) or else "they'll start zombieing around with beers, eventually some dude will try to make money renting folding chairs, that sorta thing".
mircea_popescu: anyway, to my eye the amusing thing is that if you get a nude hottie out in the open, what'll happen is the half dozen boys that'll dare approach will a) be symbolically protected by their magical uniform garb and b) ask for the perturbation in the force be removed OH PLEASE GOD MAKE IT GO AWAY.
mircea_popescu: but apparently TEH WOMEN complained.
mircea_popescu: i didn't get a ticket for it.
asciilifeform: ( in usa it is just short of armed robbery , afaik, though ianal )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is that even a ticketable offense in mircea_popesculandia ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, mp takes girl to picnic at neighbourhood park, she goes naked, within 15 minutes there's half a dozen local cops around the blanket being all concerned. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i set up a lisp in there once, even (i forget which, may have been clisp) but it was a pain, whole process had to be born when page is loaded, and promptly die
asciilifeform: the thing is hyper-optimized for hosting well-ddosed blogs. and specifically ones running on 1990s-style software, where the cpu is idle except when somebody is actually loading a page. but other than that imposes no restrictions on proggies you run, last i saw you even had gcc in there, could build own, run.
asciilifeform: certainly nobody ought to suffer any delusion of crypto-isolation, when buying vpsolade.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: it suffers -- besides the obvious minuses described earlier -- from the martian problem. i.e. if it ever dies, there is no ready replacement
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you get a postgres process tho. by ticking a box in the www acct panel; it then magically appears in your pseudolinux.
asciilifeform: for all i know, they wrote from scratch.
asciilifeform: whatever it is, had to have been around in '07.
asciilifeform: i do not in fact know the exact mechanism.
ben_vulpes: i don't want to think about that
asciilifeform: but of course it is emulated, and is expected to not hog the cpu.
asciilifeform: (rather than a proprietary crapolade uploader, or ftp, as typical in ye olde 'shared host')
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it is closer to vps, actually, you get an ssh login and a thing that superficially resembles an actual linux box from inside said ssh
ben_vulpes: shared hosting, traditionally, no? but what else is a vps but shared hosting
asciilifeform: it is more barbaric, even, than vps.
asciilifeform: also ben_vulpes may be right, i do not know if the proper name for what nfs co does is 'vps'.
Framedragger: (*ah*, that separate "UP" in deedbot's msg)
Framedragger: (scriba failing to self-up - checking)
asciilifeform: the unfortunate thing is that nfs co. is quite useless for most of the purposes of most folx here.
asciilifeform: (they also have a thing, iirc, where you can buy 'buckets' of bandwidth, for use in case of elaborate ddos, but i have not tried it)
fd_travel: yeah i liked quite a few things about them when i spotted them long ago, micro-precision accounting, etc.
