asciilifeform: it's a pl2303 , ought to work ( though see diana_coman 's recent thread , on certain egregiously braindamaged linuxen there is a bug ) ☟︎
cruciform: asciilifeform: thanks! will do. In other matters, is this the correct kinda cable for a FG? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-Programming-Serial-Windows-Supported/dp/B01N4X3BJB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1510275254&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=ttl+cable&psc=1

a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 23:08 ben_vulpes: dontcha know, asciilifeform ? demanding proof is just the patriarchy working to oppress women, keep their allegations quiet.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 23:08 ben_vulpes: quite definitely is about accusations, all one needs is a 'cleaning lady'.
asciilifeform: do you , personally care , ben_vulpes , which muppet 'withdraws' and is replaced by which other muppet ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: again who would be dumb enough to blow btc on this ? and who dumb enough to believe in the promise of btc for this
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is this the dead hdd bird ? or other
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 22:21 ben_vulpes: now that the washington post has enshrined the notion that allegations are sufficient to disqualify candidates from races in america, how long d'you figure it'll take before the bitcoin bounties for allegations leading to exit of democrats from campaigns crops up?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how did it go? 'can i borrow this' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the ad in question seems to have vanished ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 16:36 mircea_popescu: so buy a snake, big whoop. 20 bux at BingoBoingo 's store.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-02 22:44 mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other lulz : i just brokered a deal whereby we could in principle get candi to run off vintage iron, as a hosting deal :D

a111: Logged on 2017-08-02 22:01 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes any chance you check out this "people's comp museum" next seattle trip ?
asciilifeform: ( orig lm had no concept whatsoever of seekoority, or even multiple users, i'm almost surprised mircea_popescu was not quick to remind of this )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the classical cd shipped with sources, but not for some of the more interesting items (e.g. 'ns' chip and pcb layout cad; systemolade of various sorts (e.g. fep) etc )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/genera/GENERA_8_3.iso seems to be a copy of selfsame cd

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have nfi, could be theatrical
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: very, very basic 'support' can't really be gone without -- 'pull disk #5 and put this-here that i mailed you in', 'tell this new box its ip', 'yank the box and mail to me, i'm going home' etc.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 18:32 mircea_popescu: ang-st there's a matter of scope here, your => 4652.00 (total en moyenne mensuelle) is 2/3 or so of the random advance pushed out to one purveyor of eventual tmsr.isp. the republic is indeed mighty in this sense ; meanwhile there's also an ideological rub, the republic is dedicatedly elitist whereas from what i see the whole point of this tetaneutral thing is to support specifically those-who-should-not-be-permitted-online,
ang-st: mircea_popescu: question@tetaneutral.net it you want to put a box there
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: me ? i have the 3 pilot boxen as prev. catalogued. or you meant him
ang-st: mircea_popescu: no we have our own AS, 2 kind of DC room a 10G line
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes funny thing, i read a r in there.
deedbot: ben_vulpes rated ang-st 1 << apparently knows a good idea when he hears one

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ah lol.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: lol see comments

a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 17:33 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: in any case it hasn't applied to generals ever since they stopped being expected to lead men on horseback into attack
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: sorta was the impetus for asciilifeform's entire q -- can haz transoceanic radio that scales down to, e.g., suitcase
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: iirc thing has 'chrome' internally, so displaying a 8M gif prolly eats 8G
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: inline ?
ang-st: ben_vulpes: worse
ang-st: ben_vulpes: you're not on that channel and i guess it's priv8
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: mind-boggling, neh , 'i'm gonna idle for some entirely randomly selected several hours' 'why not read multi-year log' 'what's a log'
ang-st: hi ben_vulpes
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: in any case it hasn't applied to generals ever since they stopped being expected to lead men on horseback into attack ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 16:51 mircea_popescu: performance of the density kind is an anti-model for rocketry. on the contrary, large, wide edge process like the z80s much better fit for space usage.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought it 'lost' because noballs ( rather than rockets-not-rockety-enuff )
mircea_popescu: and in other adult women, http://78.media.tumblr.com/a27554aac9813b9b1975fef271f3a33e/tumblr_nl7z3wYWjR1tenemio1_1280.jpg
a111: Logged on 2017-10-08 14:18 mircea_popescu: " “The Saudi’s will not be able to link the S-400 with Saudi’s current (US and Europe-sourced) infrastructure, nor will they be able to connect the S-400 with US systems." << says who the everloving fuck.
asciilifeform: oh hm these look interesting, ben_vulpes , sorta like jet compressor
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yep, yours is teh correct solution.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have that type of snake.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu earlier suggested , 'boltzmann distrib' of coffee speck velocities, almost certainly has high end that grinds pieces of your vessel into the output ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: because unless you know how with own hands, 'fix' is 500-800bux
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: housing, yeah
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most clogs happen metre or two from the arse
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that looks like a starbuckstron. which i always suspected has a part in explaining why their swill tastes like burned plastic
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes is that polycarbonate ?
shinohai: I have one of these, best one I have ever bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A6CP1HI/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1

a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 05:05 mircea_popescu: ruined coffee grinder i had to import all the way from switzerland.
mircea_popescu: you're probably too young to remember max keiser, and his amusing "expertises" in bitcoin years ago ; nevertheless a good helping of http://trilema.com/2017/cezar-petrescu-file-dintrun-caiet-de-amintiri-mateiu-i-caragiale/#footnote_25_75738 woul;d probably help.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> bits of rural costa rica look nice, was briefly looking at chile before i realized i'd probably end up at the same miserable latitude << The problem with Chile is poor internet transit capacity.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 02:36 asciilifeform: unlikely to get this level of service from orc landlord, unless you're mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: unlikely to get this level of service from orc landlord, unless you're mircea_popescu ☟︎
asciilifeform: have you been there yet, ben_vulpes ?
asciilifeform: iirc thailand bans all land ownership by noncitizens. but this is prolly finessable mircea_popescutronically.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes coastal cr is hot and humid though.
asciilifeform: prolly yer path lies to the tropics, then, to mircea_popescu landia.
asciilifeform: if it ain't a seekrit, to where does ben_vulpes want to move ?
asciilifeform: at any rate, l1 folx firmly stuck in usa ( who... ben_vulpes ? mod6 ? ) invited to inquire re particulars.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> we had a shit 90s << My fambly poor. Grew up with bullshit Funk & Wagnalls
BingoBoingo: !~later tell pete_dushenski http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1734821 << You want in on the alf firesale? ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 00:24 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo qntra would work fine as a vps off your vps machine im sure.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Cool. Mega opteron VPS box it is.
BingoBoingo: pile_of_cement: Do you have any luggage recommendations for rackmount boxes?
BingoBoingo: !~later tell mircea_popescu http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/7iLaV/?raw=true
asciilifeform: ( say, 1024byte (n,e) ; then 512byte signature , of a message, e.g., 'please call me pile_of_cement' )
asciilifeform: incidentally, quick experiment gives http://www.loper-os.org/pub/512_letter_a.png ☟︎
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I thought that was 2013-2014's logs. Just link some classics.
asciilifeform: lol i thought ben_vulpes wrote clojure proggies for a living
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: several java-"random" selections from a list of characters
asciilifeform: but re opium specifically mircea_popescu's idea is almost certainly troo : opium isn't actually fun for ~most people
a111: Logged on 2017-11-08 23:32 mircea_popescu: who invented the redditard ? charles baudelaire described it cca 1863.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 17:10 mircea_popescu: stopping smoking doesn't reduce cancer, because the sort of shameful shitsacks that GET cancer will get it, whether from smoking or not. if not from smoking -- they'll find a different stressor.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-02 00:04 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seed is a combo of site-produced TRNG entropy and player-set (with defaults if playher doesn't feel like setting). you can change your portion at any time.
asciilifeform: this was in old thread, re provably-fair pokerators , mircea_popescu shared the algo.
asciilifeform: here's a possible idea : why not use mircea_popescu's poker .
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes how is it implemented btw ? not something directly breakable like "hash the microtime, put through base64 and truncate" is it ?
asciilifeform: and it's sufficient index until, i suppose , 5000 yrs pass and there are two old sages, each called himself mircea_popescu and each used modulus N, each left great body of alchemical works, but they had different, see, pub-e's.... lel
asciilifeform: returning to the exponent thing, seems that mircea_popescu is right, nothing particularly interesting can be done by distributing a pub with e' . ( other than 'believe me , his e is 3' and then messages ~to that pub~ are breakable if padding is broken. but that' sit . ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( if tomorrow asciilifeform signs a message 'call me pile_of_cement nao plox' everyone will laugh, but his v-sigs will still stand )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu may well be right incidentally, re the impossibility of somebody lying about the e in a key, doing any damage . but i cannot yet prove.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:10 mircea_popescu: kanzure " Obviously there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and the authority can not be predicated on the meaning."
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu know a proof that i cannot choose an alternate e that will result in a pubkey that 1) verifies some or all of the existing signatures made with his genuine e + 2) verifies another, which he did not produce ?
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 14:45 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, the more i think about it the more i'm convinced the ONLY "fingerprint" for rsa key may be... the modulus. 4096 bits and fuck you, if you can't take 32 chars you don't belong here.
asciilifeform: the pubkey is the man. per mircea_popescu's own theory and practice.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu balked at 'unfragging udp is 512byte' but for some reason doesn't barf at irc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why not take to logical conclusion : 1 bit : 1 == mircea_popescu , 0 == everybdy else, lol
mircea_popescu was rather toying with the idea of standarizing ben_vulpes 's identifier thing across teh republic.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-21 14:33 mircea_popescu can buy used cars. CARS. because i bought and own hundreds. i can't buy fucking used boats, and i doubt you can (or would, or do for that matter) buy used cars.
mircea_popescu: if the above read, like ben_vulpes 's paste, five letters in base64, we'd be none the poorer.
