asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i for one can't think of who exactly lies in bellcurve below folx who will sign up for 'pay now, see wtf it is later'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: always? cuz i definitely recall 'any day nao you will see'em in lolmart shelves'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dungetit, what's lower than 'it's a miner^H^H^Hcloud^H^Hpetroladditive^H^Hdentists-don't-want-you-to-know' ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I think the GAW thing intentionally aimed still lower
BingoBoingo: True, I'll put "blog a GAW jizz mopping" retrospective in the hopper as medium priority
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i guess 1 usg.rubber only holds so-much jizz, handler finally slipped on a new one and threw garza into the bin
BingoBoingo: Extent of the freebies less certain. Before I left there were still "free dinner for listening" ads in the local ad rag
mircea_popescu: "no fountains and no english lawns -- at least i cough just like my heroine..."
mircea_popescu: i should have thought of that! think alfie, a future world wherein all thart's left is nostalgia for the past. a past which is no longer accessible, except in the limited sense, that victorian novels about prim sad ladies have pages steeped in koch solution ; whereas italian fiction of the plague will gladly give you it.
mircea_popescu: that i'm the only one to have ever written a decent FEMALE version... well...
asciilifeform: i'll add however that the strugatskis (imho) pulled it off -- in 'snail on a hill', they had critters who think and speak in circles, and it was drawn lightly enuff so that it did not entirely permeate the yarn with snore
mircea_popescu: anyway, the http://trilema.com/2018/surprised-by-joy-the-shape-of-my-early-life-adnotated/ < -- > http://trilema.com/2017/zuleika-dobson-or-an-proper-love-story/ < -- > Loss and Gain (linked above) relationship should be i believe readily obvious
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm moar than a little bit surprised that you found no usb-powered fans, they are pestilentially common even in souvenir shops over here
asciilifeform: tho i was hoping to get one blowing asap, to prolong the life of the installed sadsamsungs
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: aite, unless there's more shops you want to look in ( or can get hold of a 12v brick and solder ) i'ma include blower in the order
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The particular vendor does not have fans. Other listing are "via Ebay" (i.e. unassisted import process) or feature 5v in the headline and 12v in the photo or specs
asciilifeform wonders, whether the gavin derp is still on the stage, or fully retired nao. i dun follow heathendom closely enuff to know
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: Sent 35 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plz also say whether you were able to source the 5v blower. if not -- i'ma order one of'em also.
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: Sent 40 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plz lemme know result of search for http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-12#1849871 locally ( i expect -- none ) and i'ma order'em
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The samsung sticks have not been found. The only little heatsinks I found were asking an incredibly extortionate price. 5v blower has yet to be found. Seeing a lot of 12v's But I haven't yet completed the walk to every local store.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell BingoBoingo plz also say whether you were able to source the 5v blower. if not -- i'ma order one of'em also.

asciilifeform: !Q later tell BingoBoingo plz lemme know result of search for http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-12#1849871 locally ( i expect -- none ) and i'ma order'em ☝︎
diana_coman: perhaps even earlier; from what I understand that's the desired direction anyway, "everyone a millionaire", no?
diana_coman: eggs were also one of the things I almost never needed to buy in Ro at that time
diana_coman: I'd say more like 3k but I'm not all that sure on it
diana_coman: honestly by now I think it's 0% *did* anything, whatever it is; talking yes, doing no as per old reference ^
mircea_popescu: i suppose discussing why he omitted the enim in "Adhuc enim modicum aliquantulum, qui venturus est, veniet, et non tardabit." is not useful in this context.
mod6: (the first line has a place holder in there for the block height when I get to actually making another excise_hash_truncation vpatch)
mod6: we'll see I guess 'eh
mod6: "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood"; I think the smart money is on the latter.
mod6: I'm interested to see if his manson family movie is going to be a steaming pile of dung, or not.
mod6: TMSR~ : Update on the Pizarro report for August. I have completed the Liabilities table after some discussion with ben_vulpes, and it is currently in a final-draft form. Upon approval of this draft, we will post it to the pizarroisp.net site.
mircea_popescu: this isn't a critical application yet. experimenta, meaning -- if you want to use this to test 'em or w/e i don't mind.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: definitely, once we have the new disks ( i dun expect you'll want the sad samsung )
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly asciilifeform mod6 : i'm thinking of getting a rockchip to run a coldspare trilema server, ideally some sort of optimistic replication. is this something you'd wanna set up for me ?
mircea_popescu: but i'm not even sure what the difference is, tbh. "say mp... what's | got over Y?" i can\t answer that. and yet perl sucks and bash doesn't, in SPITE of braindamage like above.
mircea_popescu: i suspect that the federated calling model of the current bash is actually its strength ; and not necessarily competed by lisp-ada.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-08 17:43 mircea_popescu: in today's wonderment, why the FUCK is it i can say sed 's%x%y%g' or sed 's^p^q^g' but can NOT say awk '%a%,%b%' ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm kinda trying to figure out what exactly i must have / can't stand for the Holy Script of Terminal
a111: Logged on 2018-08-21 18:28 asciilifeform: all i particularly care for in re scripting is to obtain a replacement for perl/python/bash where the interpreter is simple (i.e. readable, fits-in-head, auditable, correct)
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 19:11 asciilifeform: imho the long-term answer is '3rd way' , i.e. all the crud i wrote in bash, python, etc over the years really oughta be in the hypothetical little-lisp-in-ada from old thread.
mircea_popescu: i doubt many people fully understand the comedy goldmine that sits and waits in terminal.
asciilifeform: there was even signs of an 'air force' , but the only plane i saw was a mig8 on blocks
a111: Logged on 2018-07-15 16:26 asciilifeform: i can't picture anybody shedding a tear for gtk/kde/etc
mircea_popescu: oh i see. then why the fuck are they poor, i don't fucking get it.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-12#1850021 << now this i do. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure, I'm lolling a lot more at the local Pantsuits digging themselves a hole
a111: Logged on 2017-08-24 14:41 asciilifeform: ( why to do this ? just as in other cases of 'i can't believe it's not X!', dram is not actually random-access -- all currently sold drams only achieve their rated speed in 'burst mode'; and from that it follows that they are only ever read to fill a cache line; and from this, trivial timing leak etc. and the joys of 'rowhammer', bonus. )
asciilifeform was scratching head, 'this figure aint right, it was about 1/10th when i paid...'
asciilifeform: for instance, i might like to bake a box with ice40 as 'mips cpu' and http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-23#1702696 for main memory. and then for ~2k usd you can have... 16MB . and what to run on that. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 00:21 mircea_popescu: for all the derpage about "attack sites using your computer to mine shitcoins" in the usg.fakenews media, google's been using well over half of everyone's cpu an' ram for the past i dunno, decade ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm entertained by the 'steal the having-been-stolen-from' of current 'minimal linux' frauds
asciilifeform: fughet even the '80s, i had freebsd 4.7 quite satisfactorily on 'toshiba libretto' with 64M / 166Mhz.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that ssd makers dun particularly want folx using cheap stix in place of golden toilet 'adult' ssd.
asciilifeform: i won't know if they actually used up their sparesectors until i zero'em tho
asciilifeform: i'd bet that not
asciilifeform: i dunno, what sense does the crapple battery thing make. they rope chumpers into buyin' new ones, one way or other
a111: Logged on 2018-04-19 01:58 mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : i can't recommend the dsc-rx100 quite warmly enough. it's a splendid sony compact with zeiss lenses that's easily the best camera i ever saw.
mircea_popescu: eg, the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-19#1802801 item : i have it set on multishoot, thing dumps 700mb to its disk every time i take it out. fully cycled that card 50+ times by now ☝︎
asciilifeform: hence i'd like to take'em to the saw.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also, i'll give you odds the damned things ain't melted.
asciilifeform: i am rather curious where precisely the contacts melted, and so cleanly as to render the thing 100% functioning but usb2-only
mircea_popescu: seems redundant and counter-intuitive, but mayhaps i don't understand the wisdoms.
asciilifeform: and i'd prefer that the next heartbleed ends up fetching rubbish from ram of dedicated toilet, rather than errywhere.
asciilifeform: i can see an argument for keeping a cut-down version (perhaps trb's) around on ~some~ boxen , simply for curl-for-fetching-heathen-www, but that's about it.
asciilifeform: ( the lib itself is a hairball , not unlike winblowz, i pointed this out even before 'heartbleed' etc., in e.g. http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1299 )
BingoBoingo: I dun see why the republic ought to acknowledge any root certs without registering with deedbot.
asciilifeform: recently i was going through by hand in list of what's in my rk gentoo, and holyfuq, 'root cert of greek gov' etc. disgraceful.
mircea_popescu: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-12#1849789 something like "sudo tcpdump -vv -x -X -s65535 -i eth0 'port 443' > hurr.txt" followed perhaps by a tail -f hurr.txt will prove enlightening enough. ☝︎
diana_coman: asciilifeform, well yes, but this was more than a reset at any rate so I'd rather re-test anyway
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fwiw fg is not affected by resets; but i won't presume ever to tell anybody not to test theirs ( personally i only 'is it still there?' on machine boot, but thats just me )
mircea_popescu: that there's little difference, of either form or substance, and massive overlap of drive and interest uniting "the protocols of zion"-like stuff with "der sturmer"-like stuff with upton moore / michael sinclair -like stuff, with the WHOLE rest of protestant literature joint and several is, i suppose, the one thing pantsuit would least hear.
mircea_popescu: i always believed it's deliberate on ro part.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is -eaga equiv to the ru equiv. suffix ? ( i.e. '--poorbastard' . e.g. бродяга ~= 'poor wandering bastard' )
asciilifeform: i think that may have been the 1st full length ro lit asciilifeform was able to eat
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect that you'll find
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Will see what I can find
asciilifeform: i guess not so much gulag in ro
mircea_popescu: i can't think of anything, actually.
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu how do i say доходяга in ro ?
asciilifeform: 'hey n00b, i already worked 3mo of the expected 3.5 life'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: before i buy the pile tomorrow, see if the item can be sourced from the same join where you magicked forth the uart
mircea_popescu: i'd buy a random number four.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm at least a little surprised to hear that any of'em paid anyffing
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: Sent just now: <asciilifeform> at your earliest convenience, plox to gpggram current postage addr, i can order these with own hands
asciilifeform: !Q later tell BingoBoingo at your earliest convenience, plox to gpggram current postage addr, i can order these with own hands
a111: Logged on 2018-09-11 20:00 asciilifeform: currently i am looking at replacement https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BAR-Plus-128GB-MUF-128BE4/dp/B07BPG9YX9 , which is a good ~4cm iron pig ☟︎
asciilifeform: but i do not know
asciilifeform: is what i'd think
mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone'd have thought their promises solvent.
asciilifeform: i would not propose it as the 1st to bake, tho. but there it is.
asciilifeform: i also remember a very spotty performance in the orig asics, where ~random selection of subcores actually ran, and no attempt was made to 'package the defective transistors in separate bag for your convenience sir'
mircea_popescu: i didn't judge it more than "one of the schmucks is fucking some local baillif's daughter" or such ; they never looked like anything more than high six figures were ever available to them.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 15:36 mircea_popescu: i dunno what the fuck you think juniper is ; but as a factual matter juniper is the result of exactly this conversation among dumber people ~15 years ago.
mircea_popescu: i have long suspected your numbers were off ; as recently discussed.
asciilifeform: problem with asic is that you gotta bake & liquidate 50-100k units, to break even, as i currently understand
asciilifeform: i suppose from that pov asic could +ev
asciilifeform: ( why anybody would invest in asic-baking for a shitcoin-of-the-day, i do not know )
asciilifeform: for all i know, the chinese asic bakers will cry last.
