asciilifeform: *contemplating

asciilifeform peers into abyss, contempating evil assbot and gribble

asciilifeform: who said to keep it there, lol

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: damned if i know

asciilifeform: am i missing something

asciilifeform: http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=assbot&sign=ANY&type=RECV << never authed?

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: !s lansky

asciilifeform: so aficionados of this apparatus can use it to heart's delight

asciilifeform: and apparently it is possible to get 'git' to cough up a plain unix patch.

asciilifeform: folks who don't diddle electronics don't appreciate how ubiquitous ftdi is

asciilifeform: i know there were such.

asciilifeform: which miners contain ftdi ?

asciilifeform: incidentally...

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is on playing Doom system?

asciilifeform: liable to unexpected fragmentation.

asciilifeform: this one here's one of them hollow glass dildos

asciilifeform: http://pbfcomics.com/153 << obligatory

asciilifeform enjoying tour of sausage factory

asciilifeform: the 'randomize order in a deterministic way' thing

asciilifeform: ^ reminiscent

asciilifeform: ;;google domain generation algorithm

asciilifeform: that's traditional malware code

asciilifeform: incidentally

asciilifeform was reading it just now

asciilifeform: most of the planet, i suspect, has never seen a 'legit' winblows

asciilifeform: best windows.

asciilifeform: people also eat shit

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and we are to help them?

asciilifeform: i can't think of any reason to do this

asciilifeform: bounce: why would you dream of running bitcoin under winblows?

asciilifeform: or of 'showmyip.com'

asciilifeform: lol, someone does this ?

asciilifeform: does anyone give a rat's arse about builds other than 'unix' ?

asciilifeform: 'Oh that will not do, said Milder to Moulder / Oh what will you do then said Festel to Fose / Great guns and great cannon said John the Red Nose ... '

asciilifeform: what'll it be then

asciilifeform assumes everyone here has a copy of the src

asciilifeform: pnSeed[]

asciilifeform: new seed nodes?

asciilifeform: ;;later tell jurov was it you who was making the mailing list gizmo ?

asciilifeform: needed. and now nothing.

asciilifeform doesn't much care who has it

asciilifeform: hitler has it

asciilifeform: ehe.

asciilifeform: what use was there at any point for it?

asciilifeform: that was my suggestion

asciilifeform: nubbins`: key for the mechanism which enabled bitcoind to nag users with warning text

asciilifeform would rather it not be him. when he is killed key will fall into enemy hands.

asciilifeform: alternative can only be if someone (mircea_popescu ?) is willing to sit on a new key!

asciilifeform: re: bitcoind liposuction: who's for nixing the 'alert' gizmo?

asciilifeform: eh, the photon that broke the camel's back?

asciilifeform: linux - used, sure. but gnome...

asciilifeform: and before that, 'i'm apolitical, don't care what happens etc'

asciilifeform: rng warz

asciilifeform: *not tempted

asciilifeform: (apologies to vysotsky)

asciilifeform buried herr torvalds in his head long ago, 'and ordered cement poured to be tempted to dig up'

asciilifeform somehow did not know this.

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform: someone is using gnome !?!?111

asciilifeform: nubbins`: ty

asciilifeform: anyone have a preference for which 'libboost' is to be used?

asciilifeform checks grinding wheel on which current turd is being polished;

asciilifeform: as a routine matter.

asciilifeform: i vaguely recall reading (1990s usenet?) of american expats living in bathrooms in jp.

asciilifeform: iBola ?

asciilifeform: ubola.

asciilifeform: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/871901583/the-kegel-bear

asciilifeform: best expert.

asciilifeform: though i'm told that once in a while, when the planets align, an actual product is made on 'kickstarter'

asciilifeform: sc4m4tr0nix?

asciilifeform: http://www.novate.ru/blogs/121014/28088 << 'kegelcizer' from 'futurama' now actual.

asciilifeform just got back from fruit&veggie market, got a number of possible things to choke on, that were still in season

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: which fruit

asciilifeform: run moar winblows.

asciilifeform is hoping that this kind of thing will become an everyday event

asciilifeform: 'FTDI's own web site says their chips are used in medical...'

asciilifeform: https://twitter.com/JohnnySoftware/status/525092883125506048 << lulzies

asciilifeform never understood the appeal of the microscopic trackball on those things

asciilifeform does not own one, but recalls seeing photos, there's a normal 'blackberry' and an nsa board sandwiched under the battery

asciilifeform: (or was it obamaberry?)

asciilifeform: aka obamaphone

asciilifeform: afaik the only 'top seekreet'-approved Pnohe is 'blackberry sektera' (sp?)

asciilifeform: which work.

asciilifeform: 'all but the laziest man' are now making 'avoid 3v1l surv31l4nc3111!' turdicles.

asciilifeform: there's what, 17 of them now?

asciilifeform: ^ looks quite like 'ida' output, so symbol names presumably inferred by reverser

asciilifeform: https://marcan.st/transf/ftdi_evil.png ☟︎

asciilifeform: ;;google nothing sucks like electrolux

asciilifeform: 'nothing sucks like multivacs' ?

asciilifeform: a Multivac.

asciilifeform: unƃoɥsɐɾuıu dn¡

asciilifeform: a few vendors (samsung, and others) make the reverse of this - 'arm' laptop.

asciilifeform: 'arm'-compatible.

asciilifeform: also easier to do this with non-apple gizmos, where there is not an elaborate boobytrap chipset in there, to try to keep you from 'jailbreaking'

asciilifeform: if as a 'touch' gizmo - check first.

asciilifeform: if for perverse file server in a closet - yes, can do right now.
