Mocky: reminds me of 29 palms california. I guess desert pretty much the same everywhere ☟︎
Mocky: I have arrived ☟︎
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859623 << this is what happened to that node when i ran it without the increased aggression patch ☝︎
ben_vulpes: in boring meatnyooz i liquidated the corvette (at a 16 2/3% loss from purchase, notbad given the damage i did to it experimenting with exciting nonstandard control regimes), hired cleaners, scheduled pianoanchor for transfer to a good friend remaining in libtardistan, basement is packed; girl has mucked augean stables of corporeal art school baggage, booked temporary housing at $dest and has been working the
ben_vulpes: apologies for the degredation in service, i have personal irc logs and will stitch them back into history
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: tyvm for bringing that to my attention. i dropped the ball on service cutover. as mp astutely observed, the temporary host for these services is not a cuntoo, but some heathen convenience, conveniently different enough from my normal remote home that the logger for the ircbot refused to start, which (somehow!!!!!) fouled the bot's self reboot capabilities.
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859589 << I didn't send, no. Should I replace Hanna's name in there and the phone number? ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: for some reason i thought that we were rid of these
BingoBoingo: I'm not turning up anything in heathen pits but someone who maybe contributed more bugs to drupal
BingoBoingo: trinque: I submitted a comment clarifying that line concerned where the crap drugs are located
BingoBoingo: As mimi is not logging pizarro I present the latest report draft http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/XAMut/?raw=true for mod6 ben_vulpes asciilifeform and all other interested parties
BingoBoingo: I see up to 544936
mod6: ok, i see some nodes drinking it down: https://bitnodes.earn.com/nodes/?q=/therealbitcoin.org:0.9.99.99/
diana_coman: I'll have to sit down and sketch for myself some clear options so that I know what I want from this; then I can serve it to them "take it or leave it" and that is that
diana_coman: before talking of "blockchain technologies" I'd much rather talk of the whole non-technology part that is anyway more important
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform whole orchestra too ; i dunno what state of improved patching it finds itself, but if it thereby "increased reliability" in an uniform manner...
asciilifeform: hour of 'earth stands still' is a regular thing , 2 -- i suspect is skulduggery
asciilifeform: imho errybody gotta have at least 1 noad with a display, will see lulz like this , i suspect , regularly
asciilifeform: i recall similar lolgem made for trump etc
BingoBoingo: In other wild finds the local commies are making campaign materials to help Make Brasil Great Again: https://i.redd.it/q6olj8nxxyq11.jpg
diana_coman: I see so many things to say, lol!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun think i've yet met one, but i have 0 doubt that they are already on the jerb somewhere in ameristan
mircea_popescu: i guarantee you 9 in 10 MATH PROFESSORS can't explain rsa.
BingoBoingo: I see nothing but upsides from diana_coman doing the lecture
diana_coman: from my pov the whole gain if I'm doing this is precisely in giving at least students the *chance* to hear something other than the regurgitated bullshit
diana_coman: ftr the above comes after I pretty much demolished (at a kids' party of all places) the "content" the poor new lecturer had inherited
diana_coman: in other possible interesting things: I got invited to give a talk to students at local uni (Reading, UK) on "bitcoin and blockchain"; personally I'm not all that keen on it but given the recent ideas regarding reach out and all that, I am at least considering this; any input on this is welcome ☟︎
mircea_popescu: as i say -- the young hussies already are looking for slavery and abjection, in contrast to their stupid mulas and stramulas. from rotherham to anytown, usa, the 15 yo is saying "please, beat, rape and light me on fire -- anything whatsoever but having to talk with my kinmorons." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they got time. so do i. it'll make more, eventually.
asciilifeform: i suspect they're quite disappointed with the investment then
asciilifeform: i do recall a mircea_popescu thread where ' i dun care how they run the barn, i'ma drink the milk ' or how did it go.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 12:41 asciilifeform: i still dun fully grasp the middle kingdom's 'feed the enemy until he dies of old age' philosophy, so cannot comment
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-03#1732326 ? here's what it buys them : mp can't now declare racial fatah upon the little yellow men. because why would i, so they're kindly keeping large numbers of white idiots around to reproduce. as per http://trilema.com/2015/the-genetics-of-intelligence/ this isn't even a bad move. so they bought the managing to go around with http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859521 ☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: I just suggested the next time he's smoking out in his hovel that he watch that Citizen4 Snowden documentary
BingoBoingo: One of the fellows ranted and raved about Masonic conspiracies yet advanced the position "I don't see why anyone would be advantaged by not using GoogleSpyDevice as their 'conputer'"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> all code that ever runs anywhere is getting loaded in head. there's no way out of this. << Relatedly in my times here I have met a number of "digital nomads" who use chromebooks as issued by Google and evangelize for them. Rather than "loaded chromeOS into head" they strike me as "leased head to google"
mircea_popescu: in the immortal words of mr oover, "i say they is not white man."
mircea_popescu: well, i can say : the town is london, so i can understand why he'd rather sit in airport.
diana_coman: yes, I would honestly simply stay a few days in that town then at least, but what can I say
diana_coman: on my way back to costa rica I had this connecting flight in Madrid, a few hours gap, had something to eat, no problem
mircea_popescu: i used to connect through frankfurt with a 6ish hour gap for lunch and merriment, back in the days.
diana_coman: honestly, this is how it sounded! kind of reason why I asked him what airline was that because it's the first time I hear such a thing
diana_coman: back from wherever they got but surely not from london, lol! I understood it was the type of "took off, flew a bit, something wrong, going back because can't risk attempting to cross the atlantic"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i never heard of this lol. maybe they only got as close as halfway-1.
mircea_popescu: and the "i have nfi what excel is doing" observation does not reduce to "i have not fully read and thoroughly understood" ; but instead it reduces to "i have read and fully understood -- and i fill overquickly". ie, "i am dumb, easily satisfied and easily amused".
mircea_popescu: because no, the "i know ~exactly~ what the computer is doing" declaration is not optional. exactly like socrates' observation, "the man claiming no political system has political system", exactly so, whatever the claim, to run code on machine equals the declaration of having fully read and thoroughly understood. there's no wiggle room. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i can't detect ambitiously indolent stupidity has changed in any way since the days we fed them to the lions.
asciilifeform: possibly to sufficiently expert entomologist, the current idjicy is linearly mappable to the older one, even; i have nfi
mircea_popescu: (which is ~literally~ what fucking happened, "i was made by people too stupiud to make sense, BELIEVE in me" is the cry the guerre of the stupidgod.)
mircea_popescu: (i think trinque especially enjoys reading these)
asciilifeform: i suspect that we dun have a point of disagreement re subj; i got stuck on 'run'
asciilifeform: i dun disagree that that there's the 2 options
mircea_popescu: and i have done a moderately shitty job of having loaded in head the entire linux backports project.
asciilifeform: for instance, i did not load bdb into head, and don't intend to try, i dun have the 20 yrs that it'd take.
asciilifeform: i.e. whether it can be approached as a crafted object, or whether it is pile o'shit
asciilifeform: i dun see how it is not only not irrelevant, but in fact the ~only~ thing that's relevant when encountering a pile of coad.
asciilifeform: if coad was never loaded whole into a working head, it is not properly speaking an artificial object in the sense of being designed, but moar of an excretion, i.e. pile of shit
asciilifeform: i suspect there's a subtle thread there that i'm not grasping
mircea_popescu: i mean, is it live somewhere or is it live nowhere.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty ordinary. i hear the chinese took it further still, if you want to rent a car there, gotta give'em gsm sim #, to get the latter, passport... etc
asciilifeform: i'd be quite surprised if called without having told'em where, lol
trinque: nope, which is why I was curious where he got that number. guess if he wants to keep bidding to reach it, by all means!
a111: Logged on 2018-10-08 13:22 asciilifeform: and yes i'd rather have 2 half-sized batts than 1 large, this is elementary, esp. given that the 'large' are made of N smalls
asciilifeform: and yes i'd rather have 2 half-sized batts than 1 large, this is elementary, esp. given that the 'large' are made of N smalls ☟︎
asciilifeform: and interestingly 'hole for 2nd battery' was not entirely unknown item, even in '90s ~crapple~, i have an example ( 'g3 pismo' ) box that took'em
a111: Logged on 2018-10-08 00:05 phf: i have this terminal at 16px :>
a111: Logged on 2018-10-07 23:59 phf: what's kind of silly and i think mp made that point a while ago, that none of the manufacturers of that vintage attempted to do a swapable battery. a dual battery slot, or a smaller internal battery that would keep the thing powered for ~60 seconds it takes to switch the battery
asciilifeform: i can easily see why mircea_popescu doesn't do lappies, and i wouldn't either if i didn't regularly get meself into adventures that require'em
BingoBoingo: I dunno, I think my hands have the stockholm syndrome pretty good on this issue
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've got pretty big hands, had to learn '8 fingers' typing on ye olde toshiba libretto back when had it
asciilifeform: i ordered a sample recently , just for the hell of it.
asciilifeform: phf: incidentally i found that sharp inc makes b&w lcd's that run on 0power when holding picture, and beautiful 100% reflector-powered picture. but their biggest is iirc 4 in. and 336 × 536 . ☟︎
asciilifeform: for gurl it'd be ok lappy. but not for folx with full size hands, i suspect
asciilifeform: even if i finally crack the puzzler of c101pa boot and encuntooation -- thing's palpably small.
asciilifeform: if i cant fit 80col , machine aint usable, per my lights
phf: i could read 9pix, but fuck that
phf: i have this terminal at 16px :> ☟︎
asciilifeform: and i suspect the x60 is at least partly answerable for their getting thicker
phf: i forgot do you wear glasses?
phf: i'm weird in that respect, i don't mind seeing pixels, reminds me of better times as far as computing. i make it extra ugly too, e.g. i run windowmaker, aliased fonts, the works
asciilifeform: phf: at one time there were rumours of a ips panel that could be stuffed into x60 and had compatible connector/timings , but afaik it's just that, rumour, i was never able to get close to one
asciilifeform: phf: i have a massive lenovo tank lappy that takes 2 batts. but it was out of the question on acct of mass
phf: what's kind of silly and i think mp made that point a while ago, that none of the manufacturers of that vintage attempted to do a swapable battery. a dual battery slot, or a smaller internal battery that would keep the thing powered for ~60 seconds it takes to switch the battery ☟︎
asciilifeform: phf: i drained the battery in ~2h on airplane (putting finishing touches on rk gentoo), then again in the rack (1st usa->orc mains plug brick fell apart) then again on roof...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'crapple air' suxx ballz, i wrote mine off long ago
phf: i've traveled with it before, but yeah, i'd turn it off, plug it in somewhere, turn it on. c101pa on the other hand has an insane battery life: i've been running it in pure console mode, and it will last a day or two
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I might have seen it at the feria recently on a table that also had a Macbook Air...
asciilifeform: ( mass budget allowed for 2 batteries, and i ended up tossing one right there in BingoBoingostan )
asciilifeform: i had to actually use it as a battery-powered box on pizarro voyage, and it sucked
phf: right, i basically treat the battery as a ups, i.e. hold it long enough for me to move it from place to place
asciilifeform: and the battery ( i've bought 4 types of replacement, incl. supposedly 'original', none lasted > 6 mo. )
asciilifeform: ( i fucking hate the lcd on that thing )
phf: differ is also c code, i wanted to figure out how to make the rename tracking algo pure ada, and then have it drive the differ, rather than writing more c code, but i'll see if i can manage it
a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 23:58 phf: i have couple of hours tomorrow, so i'll pick up the deletions and renames code either way, and either release it, or give an estimate for how long it will take me to bake it
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-06#1859086 << picking up previous code, patcher already works (which is the easy part), but differ is not there yet. i should be able to get it working in the next week ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i believe.
mircea_popescu: in other news i fucking hate the manner in which windows tards create directories.
BingoBoingo: I mean 25 to 35 percent unemployment and the Banco Central is stuck with a klepto because "public employee"
mircea_popescu: piece of shit does not know what ffmpeg -i *.x *.y could POSSIBLY mean
mircea_popescu: just in case anyone else's making audio cd's for the car, for i in *.mp3; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -f wav "${i%}.wav"; done
