asciilifeform: i have a capacitative welder nao, will have to try hand-rebatterying at some point. ( will need to find how to reset the embedded charge monitor thing they've got )
asciilifeform: ( batteries have become a first class bitch, they last for 2-3 months , hundred charges or so and straight to rubbish bin )
a111: Logged on 2018-06-13 20:56 asciilifeform: '...and this here is the airport wallet inspector master key jack. got a problem, terrorist ?'
asciilifeform: for asciilifeform it was originally wanted as a box for travel . really not imho suitable for the purpose, in light of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1825108 . ☝︎
phf: well, i'm going to at least get this device to be a decent note taking tool or something along those lines
asciilifeform: whole escapade mostly succeeded so far in being a time sink for asciilifeform , and little else ☟︎
phf: that sort of stuff. i assumed though that at least that arch guide will at least give me a console
asciilifeform: re: cr50, fwiw i have pretty much whole thing multiply massaged in ida, code/data mapped, got good % of the functions 'usefully' named. but so far no dice in finding a usable hole.
phf: oh i figured as much, but at least i had a chance to organize the workspace. download relevant bits, line up a bunch of discussion pages with mentions of mysterious utilities that take obscure flags
asciilifeform: ( my old userland doesn't give you a working nic, either )
asciilifeform: phf: if you get a black screen, chances are that it didn't boot the kernel
asciilifeform: however i used the evil kernel, haven't yet built a kernel for c101pa
phf: asciilifeform: hey, when booting your rockchip fileset on asus did you get a screen output or just console/cable?
asciilifeform: 'With a capacity of 24 GWh, this new battery factory should enable them to significantly increase production with a total battery production capacity of 60 GWh' << lulzy, sorta like measuring output of condom factory in liters
asciilifeform: lobbes: iptables will work if you build the kernel ( there is a tarball with patched kernel on all pizarro rockchip boxen ) with the requisite flags ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (in case anyone's wondering WHY such a thing would even occur : it's because http://trilema.com/2017/remember-the-security-hole-automattic-refused-to-fix-back-in-2014/ ; and because the expectation that this works is ~so strong~ among the internet-moron-exploiters, they don't even bother to check that indeed mp-wp doesn't permit it. so they'll try and try and try to "ddos" this way.)
lobbes: the real key was the "mod_limitipconn" a bit further down
BingoBoingo: Anyways, new Chinese/Russian missiles in Venezuala would not be a surprise
lobbes: phew, talk about a learning experience
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-23#1829073 << In other news, I can now say that I definitively have an answer as to the issue (and, finally, a solution) ☝︎
a111: 3 results for "feel like a trader", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=feel%20like%20a%20trader
asciilifeform: !#s feel like a trader
phf: asciilifeform: it's a casino model, you sit down, play a few rounds, "win" a thousand dollars or so, lose some, win some more, all within a few thousand dollar range. on average you come out in the negative, but it's fun while it's happening.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: entirely aware. even if google et al paid as promised ( something i'll believe when i see it with own eyes ) why the fuck would i want to trade a genuinely valuable find for taxolade.
a111: Logged on 2015-06-14 16:31 asciilifeform: i must point out that i have sat on both sides of this (entirely absent) bench. both in search of secrets, ~and~ sitting on a small stash of 0days that will be buried with me
a111: Logged on 2015-05-30 17:32 asciilifeform: hell, i'm personally sitting on a stash of 0days that i can't do anything practical with.
mircea_popescu: the funny part is that the guy has a very high falooting "oh, cost of doing nothing" bla bla
phf: asciilifeform: in "clean gentoo for rockchip" is there particular reason why boot sd card's gpt partition has a 8320 sector break between l1 and l2?
asciilifeform: 'not near keys' lol. perhaps today's the day phf ends up eating a faux key via his isp's brand-new www diddletron.
mircea_popescu: a cut worse.
asciilifeform: 'Trump said he would not rule out a "military option" to deal with Venezuela' << lol!
mircea_popescu: but yes, eulora has a top of pops.
mircea_popescu: pops, dood. it's a thing.
asciilifeform: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/vkI5t/?raw=true << the next phase, of that experiment, but this one will take a while.
BingoBoingo: Still haven't figured out night photography worth a damn, but the atmosphere here over not getting eliminated was roughly Normal US City wins a league champsionship or College town beats opponent it should not have (Mizzou-Oklahoma 2010) level celebration.
mircea_popescu: teh ticos are SO FUCKING PROUD they scored a coupla times...
mircea_popescu: more. i think it started as a warrant officer wank/fanfic in the 70s.
mircea_popescu: "What is important, though; is that it’s not women’s fault. It’s not like they have changed. Women always have, always will do what they believe those they consider alpha wants them to do. That’s all there ever was with them. If they behave in a degenerate, suicidal manner, it’s because that is the signals they are getting up from today’s alphas. Hence, the relevant problem is not how to re-engineer women, but rat
mircea_popescu: splitting, it's a thing.
mircea_popescu: most people prefer a designated implement so as to not threaten kid with themselves.
mircea_popescu: "true literary language means it has a translated version of the logs"
asciilifeform: pretty riotous sov-era b00k, also, e.g., 'after great october revolution, it became a troo literary lang, we even translated the classics of marxism-leninism...' etc
diana_coman: but other than that I'd say it is indeed sprinkled (if not in those words) in a few articles, not grouped though
diana_coman: well, it already happened to me a couple of times before to think I read something on trilema but find instead that it was on #trilema
mircea_popescu: i thought it was a trilema article/group, honestly, this item was summarizing.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-27 23:01 mircea_popescu: in less lofty matters, do you happ[en to recall where the fuck i said essentially "women are the societal scar tissue, by the time males start leaving a field and women start joining it, it's fucked" ?
mircea_popescu: recall a time when that'd have been better done in a plant ?
mircea_popescu: two if not three generations of these repugnant fuckwads, thought "they have rights" in the sense of "to a decent life", in the sense of "you provide us a tight cunt and a warm place to shit in".
mircea_popescu: and then one man-one job, in the sense that they'll get a job, and it'll pay about 100x what they're worth, because what, they're not africans, they're civilised men.
mircea_popescu: all these insufferable fucktards, "working class" (perhaps best represented by the "persona civile...degli ani 70" Giulio Basletti character in http://trilema.com/2017/romanzo-popolare/ ). who figured the "one guy-one gal" thing works in the sense that they'll get a gal, and she'll be the sort of gal i get, hot and slavishly dedicated.
mircea_popescu: "I do not come to you as an angry and jealous husband. I come to you as a man, who, after consulting with over twenty male friends in my age group (35 to 50), discovered that almost all of them have experienced the same problem."
mircea_popescu: aaan in today's lulz, "Let me say from the onset that I am a 47-year-old African-American male, with one child, a few small businesses and have been married for twelve years to a wonderful wife—all the things a man could hope for in a life. Did I mention that my wife recently told me that I have been in an “open marriage” for three years?"
phf: asciilifeform: oh yeah, we've definitely had conversations on subj; also a thread where old unix heads rant and rave on subj https://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2018-June/014141.html
a111: Logged on 2018-01-05 18:34 asciilifeform: bbbut noooo, gotta reorder, because Only A Terorrist Would expect microshit to write sane compiler...
phf: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3212479 "C Is Not a Low-level Language: Your computer is not a fast PDP-11." ☟︎
hanbot: "Winner must provide a signed prize acceptance and a W-9 before receiving prize." ahahahaha this trilema piece is throwing me between fits of glee and rage
mircea_popescu: b) how would anyone observing intuit the distinction between happy case when a) above and sad case when you actually intend to work the ocean by hand-on-mug ?
mircea_popescu: moreover a) why would you even try if not because you're deliberately preparing the design of a trawler and want to get the minutia correct ; and
lobbes: yeah, automation does seem to be the answer to the sifting of the ocean problem. hard to sift through an entire ocean with a coffee mug
mircea_popescu: eg : ask ~every single blogger on wordpress.com~ whether they wouldn't like their own hosting. you know those shitheels a) conspire to fuck up the internet and b) fleece the poor noobs something fierce. why not hurt an imperial outfit while helping some rando anontards ?
mircea_popescu: for instance, cheap trick based on http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-29#1830756 : if i'm curious whether some slut does click a link, i just use a shorter version, then it's evident in the logs if she did. but anything works for this purpose, adding a &hurrdurr say, you can then grep for it in the weblogs. ☝︎
lobbes: well for now, a rough report on my actions thus far >> http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Gg8cU/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: hey, i'm not saying he's a bad person. i'm trying to get this thing going whereby it actually works.
lobbes: maybe more like that trilema I read somewhere, and it resolved that old question "if a tree falls yadda yadda, does it make a sound?" "no, because sound has a explicit meaning"
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you appreciate this, at all, but consider : i follow fetlife for ~purely private~ reasons. on my own time, off my own money, for the lulz/orgasms of my own girls, and so on. yet i've published multiple articles including summaries, schematics, various discussions, on it goes. on the other hand, a bunch of you guys have been involved in a very comparable effort for about as long, and if tomorrow you put out ten thou
lobbes: Otherwise I have no problem continuing, though I have had 0 success thus far. I totally get the nausea aspect though; example of a post I had to muster 3 paragraphs to respond to in order to reach the 10 'non-fluff' post count threshold to be allowed to post an advertisement >> http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1710421

mircea_popescu: which is why they're so unprepared for it when they bite a "shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down" steel girder.
mircea_popescu: it's just... there's a bit from tlp linked in there, "truth dun matter, what's important is the subject"
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2018/06/senegal-and-akon-collaborate-on-a-crypto-wakanda-metropolis/ << Qntra - Senegal And Akon Collaborate On A "Crypto Wakanda" Metropolis
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes well, an organized article about all this that can be linked later for its datapoints would certainly not be a waste, neh ?
mircea_popescu: teh republic needs a whole bunch of managers, as it turns out.
ben_vulpes: public. i have high hopes that the rockchip will be a thing people even want, but i'm clearly out of my depth on marketing to the great wide web.

trinque: if they had a proper writing system, might be womende by now
asciilifeform: asciilifeform in particular is fascinated with the mega-puzzler of how the fuck pieces reliably fall off a lang. e.g. ru lost vocative case, but, say , czech, still has it
mircea_popescu: because yes, romanian may have 4 past perfects + a bunch of past conjunctives, putatives, supines and whatnot. and they're even intensionally distinct. but this dun mean most speakers can even notice the distinctions.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can reliably distinguish philologist from plain romanian, as the latter's not going to be able to produce the simple perfect form for the "a coace" verb.\
mircea_popescu: and eys the conjunctive has a perfect (eu sa fi facut)
mircea_popescu: there's three futures (plain future, perfect future, future-in-the-past) and a counterfactual tense (techniucally, also a future).
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the ameritards copied the tech, made 'bactericidal plastics' for just about errything in household, guaranteeing the proud owner a high quality gram-positive experience..
mircea_popescu: this is a major materias science topic.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 20:33 asciilifeform: i was recently reading about 'oilite', a type of self-lubricating bronze, that is still made in usa. the factory where it was originally produced, owned by chrysler corp., lived in the '30s. today it is a ruin, rats live in it. oilite is still made, in usa, but for how long - i have nfi, at some point it will become difficult to find people who will follow the ritual (yes, to savages, industry is ritual) and it will sail off to china
asciilifeform: them soft vowels are a 1st class bitch btw
asciilifeform: if errry 'google engineer' is eaten by chechens tonight, it won't be a day too soon
mircea_popescu: but yes, re evident hand-curated blind spots. they're "having a conversation" over there
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: last week i did a brief hand-cranked version of this experiment, with similar result ( e.g. cr50 , several other subjs dead to google, reliably finds asciilifeform's www )
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/lets-duckduckgo-a-little-see-what-comes-out/ << Trilema - Let's duckduckgo a little, see what comes out.
asciilifeform: and, for the gold crown, 'Snowden’s Critical Fuckin’ Flaw... Back in the good old days of 2015, Shami Chakrabarti wrote an opinion piece for The Guardian, stating that Edward Snowden "is a hero." She claimed that saying so didn’t make her an apologist for terror; it made her a firm believer in democracy and the rule of law. Many saw and still see it this way... Johannes thinks a fatal misconception is going on, and that we have
asciilifeform: 'The Sex Geek Returns: Hacking Plus Human Sexuality AMA... ...I’m A Queer, Non-Binary, Disabled Trans Femme Originally From Missouri Who Makes Their Own Geeky Sex Toys...'
asciilifeform: 'Online Monitoring of the Alt-Right... ...The discussion will include some of the tooling that developed to monitor the alt-right and their online communities: both online and off. Also included will be coverage of the analysis that was performed alongside Unicorn Riot on analyzing thousands of leaked Discourse chats, as well as a dictionary of alt-right terms and memes that Caroline has been assembling...'

a111: Logged on 2018-06-27 16:45 asciilifeform: in reich courts, facts are entirely optional, 'mens rea' suffices, 'he thought it was a genuine death ray', 'he bought the sugar from usg agent thinking it was cocaine, guilty of 25 pound of cocaine, 25 to life, next' etc.
mircea_popescu: but in http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-27#1830163 : consider that inca didn't come up with this, but rather it is entirely supported by, and a product of, the cultists of inutility own' busybox processes. girl says "X is A TACTIC USED BY ABUSERS!!111" without skipping a beat ; and the observation that eating -- also "tactic used by abusers" doesn't ripple her smooth surfaces at any point. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (however, i do not suspect there are, for the following reason : the bdsm scene consists today of 1% kinksters and 99% girls and women looking for a dechumpatron. ~all the kids who in a normal world'd have been moving things ended up there, seems like, and this is very good indicator that there's not other boxes available)
mircea_popescu: open problem as it may be, it is certainly a fact that the only way to power the going against thermodynamics is ~by the chump's own internal state~. which is the practical & useful meaning of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1828126 "the curse". ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ie, it is a proper machine, rather than chucka-ism.
mircea_popescu: so in short & in conclusion : building a dechumpatron very much open problem, precisely because (unlike chumpatrons!) it proposes to go ~against~ thermodynamics.
mircea_popescu: (but, for having teh blog, i am in a position to derive a little bit of ev out of the overabundant lulzcow, also!)
