phf: that
thing looks like an air, so i figured it was junk, internally. but it's quite reasonable. harddrive has a rapid replacement design, etc.
mircea_popescu: i really wouldn't advise anyone
to open a li-ion shit. why
the fuck would you do
that, next step is go
to africa root
through garbage for a living.
phf: mircea_popescu: never mind, wrong on
that account
too
phf: not sure i can source a custom battery
though
mircea_popescu: even 5 yo "originals" suck when compared with good quality contempos. at least
THAT much came out of usg's
tesla sponsorship :
the chinese now make much better batteries.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-20#1526079 << i watched
thread and wondered how long an (allegedly) cunt-enabled ninjashogun would last in
the field, vs a conventional one. seems like we have an answer.
phf: oh also i couldn't figure out how
to get intel
to work on x11, rather
than radeon. it seems like it requires some boot
time pokes, which you need hurd
to execute (or else figure out how
to run a random code from lilo but before kernel is loaded, etc.)
a111: Logged on 2016-08-21 00:59 phf: for all
the jokes about russian vodka drinking,
the amount of "functional alcoholism" i've seen in ussa is staggering. i literally cut contact with about 70% of my friends from my 20s, because
they are slob alcoholics with no self control. so it's either health nuts who don't
touch
the stuff (or rarely) or else it's "50 minutes of квас and
then race
to
the bottom" crowd

the song goes "uite-asa as vrea sa mor, cu paharul linga mine, cu cobzarul linga mine, intr-o crisma din obor, sa scriu cind o fi momentul cu vin rosu
testamentul. sa-i
tragem o betie de pomina sa fie"
phf: i'll give it another
try. i started using it prematurely, and was basically running around looking for a powerplug at
the point where i really didn't want
to deal with shit like
that
phf: you know, i don't
think i've actually checked bios come
to
think of it
phf: yeah, i
think i figured out how
to power down radeon and use intel, which solved some of
the issues, but
there's also a bunch of other peripherals,
that remain powered-up even not in use, bluetooth, gsm, etc.
phf: it dropped
to about 2

☟︎ phf: i don't remember if i got hybernate
to work, but my immediate problem was abysmal battery life on literally single emacs buffer and no daemons
phf: i'll boot
the laptop in a few and share
the relevant details for interested parties
phf: asciilifeform:
there's some other package like laptop-mode maybe,
that has a collection of shell scripts
that live on
top of apm and actually make do all
the sensible
things
a111: Logged on 2016-08-20 20:43 phf: only
thing i can't figure out with asciilifeform's killfile is how
to get laptop
to do apm related stuff.
the main package depends on dbus
a111: Logged on 2016-08-19 14:56 asciilifeform: ;;later
tell mod6 i came
to
this by attempting vdiff of gnupg 1.4.10 vs
their .21 release from wednesday, and ending up with an unreadable 8MB
turd,
they moved/rm'd a buncha files.
phf: asciilifeform: do you have a gnupg1 version,
that can be used as a
trb-like base? i want
to go
through an execise of reading a diff between some version
that can be relied on with all
the disclaimers and whatever's in
the
trunk
mircea_popescu: might be
the same big-socialist-party candidate stupid enough
to run on a panglossian
ticket for first
term.
mircea_popescu: i
thought hillary
thought america is already great ? what fixing.
mircea_popescu: yeah. damn
that walmart for not spending money it doesn't have and "offloading"
the police's job on
the police at "Taxpayers" (=walmart) expense.
phf: it'll be someone else's fault
till
the very end
mircea_popescu: "oh it's walmart's fault". no bitch, it's your fault for
thinking joe's daddy may not bitchslap joe's mommy, and
teachers shouldn't keep a leather whip by
the markbook just in case, and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: not
that
they'll do
that if
they can in any way help it, obviously.
mircea_popescu: at some point libtards will have
to wake up
to
the realisation
that
their implementation of freedom, for all its warts, has created a bunch of idiots, who are good for nothing but
to shoplift and maaaaybe assault.
BingoBoingo: Anyways
the big shift seemed
to happen when
they went all in on
the grocery business and started eating
the foodstamp racket from both ends
mircea_popescu: the derping is amusing. "oh, why do
these people running
the CHEAPEST store not spend money like
the people running not-so-cheap-stores? ???"
BingoBoingo: Eh, walmart lost
the part of
their institutional memory
that contained substantial cattle herding prowess around
the
time
they
turned into
the
town commons
mircea_popescu: so what
the fuck IS
the police
there for and why
the fuck is a private corp's job
to "fight crime" and why
the everloving fuck would
they pay
taxes if
they're supposed
to fight crime on
their own anwyay
mircea_popescu: Robert Rohloff, a 34-year police veteran who has
to worry about staffing, budgets, and patrolling
the busiest commercial district in
Tulsa, says
there’s nothing funny about Walmart’s impact on public safety. He can’t believe, he says,
that a multibillion-dollar corporation isn’t doing more
to stop crime. Instead, he says, it offloads
the job
to
the police at
taxpayers’ expense."
mircea_popescu: the interbitcoin was a lot
tighterly knit five years ago, chiefly because much fewer "business"
tards.
mircea_popescu: oh ben_vulpes i
thought you were on about
the
tardstalk
thing. no, i know/knew who chsados was.
mircea_popescu: dumb shit, was all
the rage among a certain set a few years ago.
ben_vulpes: the kapersky blog attempts
to append
to
the pastebuffer with js anything copied from a page on "threatpost.com"
mircea_popescu: dun hate,
the bitcoin community! is going
to do
things! ANY MINUTE NAO.
danielpbarron: a courtesy
that might cause a block
to be orphaned, i guess is
the primary reason
to no actually enforce it
mircea_popescu: seeing how
they're oft
typed by hand, it's a common courtesy.
danielpbarron: so invalid address is a
thing like nlock is a
thing. What is
the republic's
take on
that? I know nlock isn't well regarded, but what is
the harm in rejecting invalid address? or is
there no such
thing as an invalid address?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: levaquin and related antibiotics do
the weird arm/stump/hand-ish birth defect.
mircea_popescu: ok, you're like
the champ of bad metaphors, but
that one's
the worst yet. wut ?!
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> why do people go
to
the
trouble of making burn addresses
that have valid checksums if such a
thing isn't enforced by consensus rules? << Because you can either make baby or you can make baby but feed girl levaqin while baby is baking.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it's enforced in
the sense high-s is enforced : miners won't mine it.
danielpbarron: why do people go
to
the
trouble of making burn addresses
that have valid checksums if such a
thing isn't enforced by consensus rules?
mircea_popescu: * umoguny has quit << lol why is
this shit so hard seriously nao.
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> So scrubs resort
to dirty ass butane
they can get from like home depot. << What
they don't carry CO2 at your home depot? You live in
the Capital of Home Depot!
danielpbarron: "Bitcoin doesn't enforce checksums at
the protocol level either." << is
this
true? A block
that includes a
transaction which spends
to an address with an invalid checksum can be considered valid?
mircea_popescu: a cool. neways, ima be off
to... well
things, but ima be back in a few hours in case anyone actually shows up.
ta da.
shinohai: Just noticed I had used
the <a>
tags, replaced with BBcode nau
mircea_popescu: phf dandys always end up faggots. it is
the way of
the world, ordained by orson scott welles.
thestringpuller: So scrubs resort
to dirty ass butane
they can get from like home depot.
ben_vulpes: there are companies selling
turnkey extraction systems even.

thestringpuller: PeterL: partially.
They use butane solvents for
the initial extract on
the east coast cause higher yields, but butane sucks.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-19 12:40 mircea_popescu: so on other news, i am writing
teh republic's "cia factbook", and on
the matter of gdp i would like
to have an estimate of
the "fair market value of
the
total
time donated
to republic during 2015" in
the estimation of everyone involved. detailed is better, but nothing over a page omg.
