asciilifeform: sorta opposite.

asciilifeform: worm tale << see also short story 'the moral virologist' (greg egan)

asciilifeform: with no output.

asciilifeform: perma-wedge - silently hangs on restart

asciilifeform: ^ cloud111!!!!111

asciilifeform: 'So, I have a question - why do we need such an OPEN technologies, that can be BLOCKED tomorrow? Today - it's me, but who knows what will happen tomorrow, and which countries or companies will decide to block their, so called open, tools that you use.'

asciilifeform: it's perma-wedged, in db state.

asciilifeform off for tea time, brb

asciilifeform: 195517

asciilifeform: ~12h now

asciilifeform: bastard node is running under 'valgrind', incidentally

asciilifeform: killed, restarted

asciilifeform: one too many shots.

asciilifeform: i conjecture - corrupted db

asciilifeform: it just sits.

asciilifeform: interestingly, this did not kill the process

asciilifeform: bastard node, is going strong

asciilifeform: pogo

asciilifeform: ^ new type of perma-wedge

asciilifeform: "errors" : "EXCEPTION: 11DbException \nDb::get: Cannot allocate memory \nbitcoin in ProcessMessage() \n"

asciilifeform: oh and avoid sd card for blockchain. it is terrible, no good, unusably slow

asciilifeform: recipe in comments in sh script.

asciilifeform: then download tarballs (you don't have to use the same ones i did, necessarily)

asciilifeform: (under gentoo, single command)

asciilifeform: don't need to install anything but the compiler & associated binutils.

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: see http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-January/000033.html

asciilifeform: build on actual computer.

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: didja miss the part about -cross- compiling

asciilifeform: ^ specifically the substance that gathers in mice, keyboards

asciilifeform: ;;ud cruft

asciilifeform: i've also seen term 'cheese food'

asciilifeform wants

asciilifeform: neato

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's that made in? a pipe ?

asciilifeform: 100% petro

asciilifeform: 'velveeta' iirc isn't even a dairy product

asciilifeform: incidentally (non-u.s. folks) if you visit usa and are offered 'american cheese' - run, not walk, to exit ☟︎

asciilifeform: through childhood habit, brain damage, or some other cause

asciilifeform: some folks, it appears, actually insist on it

asciilifeform: it finds its way into spots where its presence cannot be explained by mere pauperism

asciilifeform: i was having this dispute with pet not long ago. whether anyone voluntarily eats synthetic cheese

asciilifeform: cheese?

asciilifeform: diploma - sure

asciilifeform: srsly ?!!

asciilifeform: at least half the time - 'zeus' et al.

asciilifeform: 80-90% of what i saw was a variation on some very tired theme.

asciilifeform: it wasn't just from one spambox of course.

asciilifeform: decimation: not long ago, i did this for a living.

asciilifeform: decimation: occasionally

asciilifeform: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/FB_UDL.html << driver

asciilifeform ^ has bag of these

asciilifeform: http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product/sku/3967421

asciilifeform realized that BingoBoingo could actually get vga on that thing, if he wanted, using one of the ubiquitous usb2 framebuffer boxes

asciilifeform: seems like BingoBoingo has not tried it yet

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: do they still have those.

asciilifeform goes to buy a Pretty Good Computer

asciilifeform: as with many idiocies, this one may be approaching 'parody event horizon' where the reality is not readily distinguishable from the spoof world

asciilifeform: i definitely recall he was 'advocating' for 'diversity' in petri dishes, in every lab!!!11!! in one post

asciilifeform: was it dan mocsny?

asciilifeform: he'll help.

asciilifeform: oughta phone poettering.

asciilifeform: doesn't sound like much fun

asciilifeform: just how many hours can one wank in one sitting

asciilifeform: laugh if you will, but i'm still trying to apprehend what it is 'most people' actually -do- with their time

asciilifeform: (though it is being worked on)

asciilifeform: libraries - not banned yet

asciilifeform: or a set of legs

asciilifeform: forget the source; evidently, books - do not exist

asciilifeform: they sure don't make lying sc4mz0rz like they used to.

asciilifeform: assuming there was any actual comparison

asciilifeform: decimation: plus an obligatory helping of os brain damage

asciilifeform: decimation: fragmentation & seek penalty on ancient mechanical drives ?

asciilifeform must have awakened in parallel universe

asciilifeform: disk readahead caches, etc. evidently never happened?

asciilifeform: 'Gavin's testing of 20MB blocks shows that loading (disk io) for these is 4x faster than 20 1MB blocks.' << did someone actually make this argument ?

asciilifeform: and here i was, thinking i'll have to hang for jaywalking

asciilifeform: how classy

asciilifeform chokes from lulz

asciilifeform: 'Any more information on this? The fact that he is secretly building 10k nodes on a network with 7k active nodes and dropping is a concern in itself and makes me want to support Gavin's hardfork even more so.'

asciilifeform was never able to read the phorum for more than a few min. at a stretch

asciilifeform: so -that- was the 'run into the ground' thing

asciilifeform: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=919629.msg10295619#msg10295619 << mega-lol

asciilifeform: yes.

asciilifeform: the testatron just now outpaced the 'pogo.'

asciilifeform: incidentally

asciilifeform: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=0.5.3.1

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: straight to jurov's www

asciilifeform has one of these

asciilifeform: even if for some peculiar reason it were not possible to reduce consumption, the thing ought to know when about to be killed - and shoot itself in the head with some decorum, rather than wait

asciilifeform: needs replacement std::allocator - proggy is not normally aware of own footprint

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes et al: happen to remember what block height was at the time 0.5.3 was current? if this is in the log, i have utterly failed to find it

asciilifeform: ^ also happens to explain the memory thing

asciilifeform hoists jolly roger: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-January/000038.html

asciilifeform: l0lz

asciilifeform: not in the experimental 'orphanage burner' build

asciilifeform: hanbot: figure in question is ram footprint

asciilifeform knows how/why but still bewildered that no one has at any point seen it fit to bolt on basic sanity

asciilifeform: who the hell writes a program as hungry as this, that is entirely unaware of its own resource consumption and lacks any feedback mechanism ?

asciilifeform: this would require replacement of allocator (as suggested in thread from 2 days ago)
