asciilifeform: ( or rather, i dun notice any substantial diff in flavour vs mircea_popescu's cr pics )
asciilifeform: but possibly mircea_popescu could
asciilifeform: the ro-themed wikilick ( mircea_popescu-powered, even, in the early burst iirc ) also counts, neh
asciilifeform still somewhere in first 20% of mircea_popescu's photovoyage
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at python balls, http://78.media.tumblr.com/c0c8daa0e7ab2cfc32acc93af097347d/tumblr_ngfwxd1G6h1qega1vo1_1280.jpg
mircea_popescu: in other lulzy lulz, https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/7ujeoz/i_wonder_how_long_it_will_take_for_the_other_sub/
phf: mircea_popescu: alright, i cleared my schedule for that general period, i'll look at flights again tonight and we can just go with whatever works out best financially
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 what of ? << was just laughin hard at ben's delivery guy.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-03 04:52 ben_vulpes: guy delivering servers today wanted to know what i was doing with em; "well let's see, install some software and then rack 'em in a datacenter, what else does one do with servers?" "no but like are you mining bro?" "haha funny. don't you have something for me to sign?"
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-03#1780738 << why is it that ben_vulpes gets the nosy deliverymen, and asciilifeform not!111 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-03 01:48 mircea_popescu: but anyway -- you can even now make a server return ~infinite headers if you wish.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-03 01:20 mircea_popescu: and considering what happens in response to curl -v -X GET -H "range: bytes=1-8" www.loper-os.org (full page dump) we can add asciilifeform / nfs to the list of "does not support ranges"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes hey, imagine all the idle posturing going on in every tiny social group. kids used to be hackers, after being secret agents, after being you know.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-03 00:22 mircea_popescu: "find a thing such as x" vs "follow steps x give whatever comes out"
trinque: select * from information_schema.column where ...
trinque is referring to information_schema and the db-specific metadata schemas
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and observe that the turdmeisters implemented elaborate hacks ( i.e. realtime DOM modification ) ~just so that ad crapolade loads first~
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 01:02 mp_en_viaje: but let's not let the praise fall by the wayside just because every successful step opens up so more further steps : nice bb! qntra back on huh!
a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 03:58 mircea_popescu: trinque tbh, i think wikis are a (braindamaged, dysfunctional, uncomprehending) response to the html-is-broken / transclusion issue discussed yest and etc.
asciilifeform: i think mircea_popescu grasps the idea.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-13 07:06 mircea_popescu: !~later tell hanbot here's something you might find useful : http://trilema.com/hanbot/
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: edges into a 'causes and purposes' discussion, dunnit. even if trilema doesn't possibly use any such thing, conceivably it is still the Right Thing
asciilifeform: so in this hypothetical, mircea_popescu's trilema url (or rather, the raw hash underneath it) will only change when he changes his generator.
asciilifeform: nor is there any way to link to an internal element of it ( sorta why mircea_popescu had to write his js hack )
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 20:22 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo pardon my thickness, where do you want qntra ns pointed again ? ideally in the format ns1= ns2=
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779566 << usually shop at end of campus. << Spanish Class with the Venezolana this evening was an survey of local retailers that don't catalog ☝︎
asciilifeform: oh hm mircea_popescu found the screen brightness magic number ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i already found that i had a 1U intel 'xeon' box, also usable , from years ago...
a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 13:56 mp_en_viaje: in other "thanks goodness computer means programmable machine", i have here this hp elitebook. it has the backlight permanently welded to "retina cancer". the "function" key bs works for everything else EXCEPT setting the brightness, fn-f9 does 0.
phf: mircea_popescu: i thikn that's what we're going to do, but i need to confirm my schedule. i'm still at the office, so i'll confirm in the morning

asciilifeform: ok i think i know what mircea_popescu meant.
asciilifeform: i betcha mircea_popescu did some pretty killer b&w photography back in the day

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think i had genuine coffee this one time...
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: nao i'm also curious, what is gained from cup of coffee after one has already taken meth
asciilifeform: nao i'm curious, would gabriel_laddel even ~feel~ a cup of coca tea ?
gabriel_laddel: Inventory arrived from CA a few days ago and am rebuilding M. mircea_popescu well you certainly know how to get my attention..
deedbot: gabriel_laddel voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: !!up gabriel_laddel
mircea_popescu: sorry gabriel_laddel i was just kidding about the coca tea. sent some to other people.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: upstack, i recommend against 'extend OPTIONS to do names' or any similar; http is a fundamentally damaged-at-birth item , and really oughta be trimmed down to bare minimum , and kept alive for strictly so long as it cannot be avoided
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: based on tcpdump/wireshark
asciilifeform: i'ma wait till mircea_popescu eats rest of thread tho
a111: Logged on 2018-01-20 17:13 mircea_popescu: "do not use 2nd class link as 1st class link".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it'd look like trinque and phf 's answers re HEAD
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, he had the ( to this day unobtainable ) 'loongson' mips-top
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> shouldn't be over 20kgs all told, this ; should fit among clothes. << I used beach towels and blankets.
laplinker: asciilifeform: they got ME code here https://media.ccc.de/v/34c3-8762-inside_intel_management_engine
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think phf possibly was alluding to ordinary orc-theft of cargo, rather than the usgistic sort
phf: mircea_popescu: hey i flew moscow in the 90s, i'm trained that putting anything in luggage is playing a roulette
phf: mircea_popescu: boxes are not in custody during air travel
laplinker: mircea_popescu: its a "special" usb cable , DbC cable
phf: mircea_popescu: fedex or better yet a private shipping container, later will take couple of weeks though
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it needs there to be one in the 'victim' aha
asciilifeform: laplinker: and yes, what mircea_popescu said, write a post about this, i'd like to know what boxes this works on, how to talk to the chip, etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he's discussing usb variant
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Looking for empty 1U cases. Put fans in there and affix pogos
phf: ben_vulpes: republican matters is like reading leaves, i'm trying to figure out dimensions and who's sending what first. fwiw shipping a rack full (as opposed to ascii's original "2 machines") is going to run up the bill just on the oversized charges with airline
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> also related, BingoBoingo if he brings you pogos, how do you plan to use ? decase and mount in an ad-hoc thing, 8-10-12 to the u ? << Pretty much this.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: shitdroid also!
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: are you on a speak&spell or wat
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i have'em in thick cardboard'an'foam crates
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: let's include several variants for completeness : 1) fedex , and chancing the VAT 2) somebody other than asciilifeform , who can go sooner, goes, delivers a box 3) BingoBoingo obtains box locally << Fedex to Montevideo is a certain VAT, and random chance of additional import duty.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform incidentally intel sayz good links to sa are all from miami/ft lauderdale etc ; not so much ny. << The plane that does the American Airlines direct Miami-Montevideo route is older than I am. Flights routinely cancelled for repairs. Copa's panama to Montevideo service though is reliable.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the ru item was remarkable because it was verifiable with simple analogue electronics, no fancy patternmatching camera etc
asciilifeform: what does mircea_popescu have in mind re seals
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly doesn't merit entire post, given as most of the item is in the log.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun keep a massive pile of ssd on my person, lol. but:
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: depending on what you need in the 2 virginal boxen, can be ready in ~wk
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes conceivably could fedex to phf once this is sealed ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let's include several variants for completeness : 1) fedex , and chancing the VAT 2) somebody other than asciilifeform , who can go sooner, goes, delivers a box 3) BingoBoingo obtains box locally
asciilifeform: right but mircea_popescu runs on atomic battery.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 20:21 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when's your visit there scheduled ?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 20:21 mircea_popescu: (and more practically : when's my deadline for speccing my boxes with you ?)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779772 << i have 3 boxes prepared for bisp under s.nsa banners ; 1 is dulap-III , which is 'endisked', en-FG'd, and crated for its journey; 2 want disks; if mircea_popescu has specific config he wants for #2 and #3, or to obtain moar , gpggram. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-07 16:41 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in other oddities, http://www.xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/pd.html

a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 17:19 mp_en_viaje: they're not DOING anything ; just trying to LOOK A CERTAIN WAY, with a minimum of expenditure.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: consider also, the marvel from the other end of the idiocy stick, the 'autogenned docs'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: microshit docs are already pretty close to this.

phf: asciilifeform: one data point is that in e.g. nginx max_ranges is a parameter, which can be explicitly set to 0 to disable ranges, and if you search for it you get "how do i disable ranges" q's presumably by people configuring web servers. you don't have an equivalent for HEAD. likewise HEAD is part of the original spec, where's ranges is a later addition. it stands to reason that the number of times range fails would be non 0 even with "modern" setups

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> or is this what it all ends up costing after the extortionate tax..? << The +IVA means the price is before the tax. Gets hit with a duty when it hits the border, shipping here doesn't seem to have a trivial cost, and something like the label printer there just might not be anyone else selling. But $495 for a $300 in the US ubiquity Edgerouter Pro isn't too bad http://www.palser.com/productos/productos_masinfo.php?id=17661
