mircea_popescu: "psycd is currently being refactored into a GNUnet service to run secushare on. The former psycd code is quite interesting, but currently unmaintained. "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i had some toast earlier, the toaster:~$ said :L)
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with shortcuts in principle, but this one hurts.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron for the sake of sanity, can you proceed closer to asciilifeform's original ?
mircea_popescu: what is the arch install and how did it end up imported in here ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: trinque: how do you propose to have the browser end run cl? << haha this i wanna see. clonqueror.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron "You can throw out the packaging and manual; we won't be needing those." << gotta love the justifiable pride the most serene republic's flag elates out of people.
mircea_popescu: actually i'm kinda half curious how many us based conf attendants discover at the border that the newly expanded tsa doth not agree their passport holds any value.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform possibly. in this sense, the ultimate engine/life form would be one that lives somehow off the shaving.
mircea_popescu: as 1 goes up and 2 goes down there's at some critical point after which a man is taking his voice in his hands.
mircea_popescu: trinque i think the concern is to be approached on two lines, empirically. line 1) what % of queries constitute powerplays and b) what % of queries result in interesting education that a noob reading logs would benefit from.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform technically speaking, the milk and water mixing IS recorded in ever yinstance.
mircea_popescu: interesting how qm actually clips the graph there huh.
mircea_popescu: there's of course a finite number of photons that saw it, but w/e man.
mircea_popescu: and global record of 1+1 was trivial. perhaps on a machine much akin to physical reality : the result of mixing milk and water is stored for everyone to see - they need but look
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but imagine data storage literally was not an issue.
mircea_popescu: yottabytes all over, but perhaps something like nock (in principle, not what was proposed) ?
mircea_popescu idly wonders what'd a world look like where gavinesque insanities actually made sense. "have everyone's coffee purchases validated by everyone and preserved forever".
mircea_popescu: ... you want to code for a machine that doesn't exist ?!
mircea_popescu: dude i really like this qntra thing. about 1/3 of what i hated about the obsolete press were mistakes. being able to go hey x, Y! makes me all fucking warm and fuzzy inside.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yeah they run out of stock, not looking like they want to replenish it either.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, yes, it seems the alsa | pulseaudio difference was in fact bitterly preserved. one of those underground wars people like me tend to embarass themselves by not noticing.
mircea_popescu: don't even realise squeezing necks is what gets things done.
mircea_popescu: also not entirely unconnected with open source peace and love nitwits who far from knowing which necks to squeeze,
mircea_popescu: people tried to get games going on the platform, 2007-8ish to about 2012. it failed.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is a major point. the death of the linux is not exactly unrelated toi the major disappointment of the money makers.
mircea_popescu: "Even in 2014, you cannot use PulseAudio for competetive gaming on Linux. Not that it matters anyway. Even Valve abandoned Linux."
mircea_popescu: stuff that almost works for its lifetime is worse than no stuff.
mircea_popescu: i would imagine alsa is uncontroversially a massive failure on poettering's scoreboard.
mircea_popescu: this is even skipping the "ambitious nobody proponent with a history of failure up to that point"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform indulge me : tries to take over everything ? check. crashes all the time ? check. two matches, good enough.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what was the curtis yarvin brand of systemd called ? i forget ?
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that a) not really and b) a machine's not really supposed to boot anyway
mircea_popescu: how is poettering to sell a shitty re-implementation of yarvin's pile of crap ? PROCLAIM LOUDLY THAT IT BOOTS FASTLY.
mircea_popescu: in any case purge that systemd atrocity , as a matter of principle if not necessarily practicality.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> danielpbarron: eventual goal, i dare say, is a fully-automated reflasher that drops in something sane. << quite
mircea_popescu: just talk around the math involved, hire the people out of work once gavin gets forgotten about.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if one could kickstart an experimental vehicle for space vacuum filtration to extract gold and other rare metals.
mircea_popescu: exactly that. a pointed disdain of any rule and regulation not gpg signed as so much crud.
mircea_popescu: writing a proper wifi thing for the new world is not on this year's plate.
mircea_popescu: if it has any magic packet business, it'll come wiereless.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what happens if you short the antenna of a wifi device ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: my 0.7.2 node took 2 or 3 weeks to full sync << no he's right, it's what it used to be.
mircea_popescu: or is it the result of phone interception -> police telling school to ask kid -> kid not denying convincingly
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so is the "fake kidnapped kid" story the result of "boy telling school what happened"
mircea_popescu: but then again, bringing arguments to people who never had any sort of life experience is not unlike trying to give serpents haircuts.
mircea_popescu: days, sure, in the sense bitcoin txn confirm "in seconds"
mircea_popescu: trinque: asciilifeform: the merchant gets their money in days in the US << noob. it's date+60.
mircea_popescu: the all union vladimir obama pioneers will certainly enjoy the eco lantern.
