phf: i kind of assume
those
things are not actually designed for drilling, but for accessorizing at home depot
☟︎ BingoBoingo: I am still puzzled by
the decision
to give cheapest drill a gearbox with 16 clutch settings instead of a chuck
that can fucking hold a bit.
BingoBoingo: A few months ago got my first cordless drill. Went with "Ryobi Starter Drill" so
the battery would work with reciprocating saw I wanted which comes without battery. Reciprocating saw is wonderful. Drill chuck slips on drill bits all
the
time so in a futile effort
t detach chuck
the contents of
the drill's gearbox is now scattered on a corner of my desk.
☟︎ phf: oh nice, i've not picked up
that skill until quite recently, maybe a year ago i bought a whittling knife before a
trip
to alaska and i've been kind of doodling with it since
phf: i have
this etched really close up image of drill head in my head
that i couldn't quite place until i realized just now
that it's
that very drill
phf: you had
to
take
that little cover off
to put oil in, otherwise it'd run not as smooth, so you kind of learn when
to oil it.
then periodically you had
to clean it fully, because mostly wood, metal and oil would get inside make soup
phf: oh man, i forgot about
this
thing. i'm pretty sure it was my first exposure
to a mechanical object
that i used extensively and had
to
take care of
BingoBoingo: Seems like one of
those intuitive
things
that comes
to functioning people
phf: i'm pretty sure i've done
that, at least
to prime
the spot. also as a child
that's kind of a natural inclination
BingoBoingo: Aha
those drills look like
they can
take hammer
to make hammer drill
BingoBoingo: The way it works is instead of weird wrist
twisting motion screwdriver allows more familiar jack off pumping motion.
BingoBoingo: phf:
The push down ratcheting screwdrivers by yankee/stanley are pretty cool, but also discontinued since forever ago.
BingoBoingo: Anyways apparently high end cordless
tools are actually useful now since
Techtronic of Hong Kong apparently OEM's for all
the brands it hasn't bough and actually introduced *gasp* BRUSHLESS motors.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> buy
that hammer drill. << Actually everyone prolly ought
to get
their power
tools before China cuts USia off.
☟︎ phf: i like comcast. it's
the people's republic of america people's internet, it works, unless it doesn't, in which case go
to competition lol
a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:04 mircea_popescu: does
this make sense
to anyone outside of yours
truly ? asciilifeform ? davout ? jurov ? phf ?
trinque ?
ben_vulpes: there's an entire small industry in
the pacnw around internet uptime
to arbitrary shitty buildings
ben_vulpes: with epic contracts and such shitty delivery
terms /one must actually do ones own qos over lte or something retarded/
ben_vulpes: anyways, cable company, monopolists of net in my area, deploy 'independent contractors', entirely happy
to drill holes
through whateverthefuck.
ben_vulpes: plus
then i don't have
to deal with running cat5
through living spaces, because in
this povery-stricken part of
the world everyone wants
their data pipes in
the room where children should be playing for some reason
ben_vulpes: i did
that for a while, when moving frequently. its not really
that much of a hassle
to get it put in wherever, and
to insulate
the offense
to
the skin myself.
ben_vulpes: much less
the least inane place
to pierce
the building envelope.
ben_vulpes: i don't even know where
the servers are going
to go yet.
ben_vulpes: america es un pais pobre! internet will come from 'xfinity wifi', eg some other sucker who paid comcast
to have one of
their repeaters in his house.
ben_vulpes: no, 'tis wired. although
the breaker labeled 'dryer' does not in fact shut off
the dryer's 220.
ben_vulpes: but hey
the walls are actually hand-done plaster, and
the door arches as well.
ben_vulpes: and
the gaps in
the fence an entertaining project opportunity.
ben_vulpes: ty and
trinque. notquite bunker, but not mass-produced foamed petro product either, which is quite a score.

ben_vulpes: in entirely unrelated /america no es un pais pobre/ news, i have an address outside of portland for
the first
time in nearly
two decades
jurov: no need even
to optimize, a ~ hour/gigabyte in plain python
jurov: i
trial divided whole set by 10000primes.txt, recommend very much
to find problems
Framedragger: jurov: but
that key is borked due
to my hasty scripting, so makes sense
that
the parsed modulus is not prime, either
Framedragger: jurov: no i meant exponent in
this case actually,
the actual exponent for
that key was supposed
to be 65537
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah
this is only a
test. i'll send alf
the whole openpgp-wrapped bundle once
that's done processing.
the above is just a
test, and it's a false positive
jurov: i'm missing out on all
the conspiracies and fun!!!
jurov: which
threat has never actually materialized in past 4 years
jurov: mostly
that a bit sophisticated attacker could cause bills for coinbr
to skyrocket easily
mircea_popescu: fact is,
there's no practical way
to run plain web servers in 2016.
shinohai: oh
their version of crapflare or sumthin
jurov: shinohai what's
that?
jurov: but
they are dying,
too
Framedragger: what's
the latest mpex url? mpex.co does seem
to be down, fwiw
mircea_popescu: in fairness,
the whole mpex/tmsr/etc
thing is ~equivalent
to a
ten
ton hammer of pure cognitive dissonance for man on clapham omnibus.
mats: maybe its
the social proof
mats: if mpex had rounded rectangles fwr wouldn't have given it a second
thought
fwr: I find
this incredibly hard
to believe
that
there is
this sort of money involved
fwr: says in
the blog post
that it's just below
that
fwr: help me
to understand
this, MPEx has been sold for 250k BTC, but
the website itself is down?
mircea_popescu: that guy is epic. "we both have
the same number of employees : 0.5"
mircea_popescu: his 2012-stylish cap looked much better
than butt-erin's misshod skull.
shinohai: Sorry, but I'm
tired of sitting at home, I dream
to go for a walk."
shinohai: "I lost my leg in a car accident, collecting some BTC for prosthesis i really want
to function normally.
mircea_popescu: hey,
they wouldn't let go of mtgox until a year+ later and millions more were lost.
shinohai: christ mircea_popescu at
the wave of shitcoin beggars in
those
trilema comments.
thestringpuller: So,
they are
trying
to prop Ethereum. When
the real crash happens...like
the
Too Big
to Fail bailout...
mircea_popescu: i dun really
think it's any sort of filter on
trilema side.
they might not actually make it across at all.
mircea_popescu: (if it's not === blog ip
they fail, due
to
the "ddos"
thing)
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i actually publish pingbacks, i dun
think
they make it over for some reason.
pete_dushenski: but how did greek blog get
through pingback filter and contravex hasn't in, what, 1.5yr+ ?

this website. guy starts copacetic enough but actually
takes
things far enough. yes, ban any
third party service, ads or anything else. website may not load any foreign elements, at all, just like it can't xss.

the author runs and lives off of his small no-bullshit bookmarking and archiving (bookmark/tag sites/PDFs, be able
to full-text search later etc) business pinboard.in which has
this exotic (to SV crowd anyway) business model called "users pay for
the service and
the service delivers". i like
the guy
