asciilifeform: for my purposes, a proper break is when i can load in arbitrary firmware in place of the vendor's. ☟︎

asciilifeform: how large a bounty would pique your interest, cnomad ?

cnomad: how much are you offering for liberating a cr50? fyi, it'll be a _hard_ target

asciilifeform: this doesn't do anything for us. but do consider !!register'ing a gpg key.

cnomad: ok here's a sha512sum for now, i'll regsiter w/ your bot a bit later

asciilifeform: cnomad: there is a www front-end for the wot; this , for example : http://wot.deedbot.org/17215D118B7239507FAFED98B98228A001ABFFC7.html is me.

asciilifeform: so, for example, i am considering declaring a btc bounty for cr50 break. but it will only be available to folks in the wot, for the very obvious reason .

diana_coman: cnomad, precisely; just... it needs a recipient to accumulate in; basically how is anyone to say it's same *you* next time you join?

asciilifeform: until you are in the wot, 'you' do not exist, it is not difficult to hijack a fleanode nick.

cnomad: im a go-with-the-flow kinda guy. rep will naturally follow ☟︎

diana_coman: cnomad, do you specifically want to *not* develop a reputation here ?

asciilifeform: cnomad: please consider registering a pgp key with deedbot :

cnomad: currently working on liberating a tl866a programmer, but mostly i do RE and pwning for various security chips

asciilifeform: cnomad: meanwhile, tell us a bit about yourself. reverse engineer ?

cnomad: you guys have a manifesto or something?

asciilifeform: cnomad: a bit of both

cnomad: is this a technical channel or a political or...? ☟︎

asciilifeform: hm we dun have a working heathenticker no moar, do we.

asciilifeform considers idea of proclaiming a 1 btc prize for a working break of cr50 . any l1 folk interested in contributing to the prize chest , and/or overseeing the refereeing ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: it's nikki on a trip.

ave1: asciilifeform, no I did not get the board, it seems to me a standard pcie x4 slot and cards for these can be easily had locally

asciilifeform: ave1: this is a kind of 'plus' version of the pizarro rk, yes

ave1: I ordered this one, https://www.pine64.org/?product=rockpro64-4gb-single-board-computer, today. It supports a pcie 4 lane card, so I will try to use it for a desktop replacement.

mircea_popescu: "grandfather's sword won't work for you until you get a horse like your grandmother."

mircea_popescu: and moreover, i think it is important to MAKE THIS A DIFFERENTIATION POINT.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there is such a thing as people with cars and pack animals.

asciilifeform: ( which , i get, dun matter worth a shit for mircea_popescu's applications. )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: display can be sourced, i actually have several 'naked' display here for experiments. the bulk of the headache is the kbd , chassis, power. any way you cut it, chassis becomes a multi-kg monster 'luggable'

mircea_popescu: Display size: 17.6" × 13.2" = 232.32in² (44.7cm × 33.53cm = 1498.84cm²) at 79.55 PPI, 0.3193mm dot pitch, 6327 PPI² << get a sxga+ in there.

mircea_popescu could almost go for a 400 x 450 mm laptop chassis, provided it includes a proper sized kbd.

asciilifeform: and if i had lost it, would be a bitch to replace

asciilifeform had some headaches in BingoBoingostan with x60 lappy (had to bring ~something~ to use for setup) , had to connect from a few places that had no mains, and battery was limiting factor. and x60 is heavy, occupied valuable launch capsule mass )

mircea_popescu: have a fucking mechanical gauge, steampunk all the way

asciilifeform: and the board has a linear reg, wastes current.

asciilifeform: it is theoretically possible to turn rk3328-roc-cc ( as in pizarro pilot plant ) into a portable of a kind. one can get miniature hdmi lcd, etc. but there is no convenient way to handle power; it expects 5v, and has no provisions for interrogating battery level, one would have to build something , rather gnarly.

asciilifeform: given as rk has no idea which dram a given board maker will want to use, they made the timings settable

mircea_popescu: iirc dram init was a major issue.

mircea_popescu: they have a replacement ?

mircea_popescu: maybe you're a horse altogether.

asciilifeform: ( as does, iirc, phf, and possibly a few other l1 folk )

mircea_popescu: i haven't identified a use for laptop yet besides "dumbphone replacement for aspiring slavegirls".

asciilifeform: re costs -- can't speak for other folx, but i'd happily pay, say, $1k , for a proper arm64 lappy

BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1823753 << Aconcagua is only a bus, boat, and bus away from here ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i suppose you just buy a live-in slavegirl to do the job eventually.

asciilifeform: but if can put a $5 fpga in its place, it's a 15 min job. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: goes right with the "about the size of a... scorpion, with a dangly apendage behind, looking like a ... scorpion tail" girl saw yest... FLYING.

mircea_popescu: turns out to have been... A FUCKING MOTH. nectar eating night guy.

mircea_popescu: and in other "only in this country" lulz, i see a dark halfinch long form squrrying under the bottle washer behind the kitchen skin tap. so i'm all, you know if you've ever lived in new york, or buenos aires, or generally a large town, "fuck you, you little bitch" kill! kill! kill! mode.

mircea_popescu: alright. see the topic / read the logs / register a rsa key etc.

loper_os_cr50: A curious person who is interested in owning my own hardware instead of it pwning me. Found the channel through http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2433

mircea_popescu: in any case it's very much "this is what foss is", a token and an icon.

mircea_popescu: i have half a mind to somehow extract it for display

mircea_popescu: also, pfalz is not per se an area in germany ; it's a bunch of areas. originally [holders of] palatine lands elected the emperor, so it's really akin to saying portland-tmsr and seattle-tmsr. tmsr isn't a plage, it's a designation.

mircea_popescu: phf, linguistics and phonetics is a major solvent for post-medieval mysteries. in some cases even earlier. a lot hinges on what kind of attic or aeolian or whatever other obscure way to say o and u someone employed.

phf: mircea_popescu: that as always makes a lot of sense. i knew that the original was an area in germany, but i didn't give much further thought to the obvious modification

mircea_popescu: there's this joke in romania that "if you hear a hungarian speaking foreing languages you're looking at a jew". ☟︎

mircea_popescu: this may even be true. the exact meaning of "huguenot" in the period, much like "protestant" etc, is a lot more diverse than contemporaries (like to) think.

phf: it's a beautiful area, an hour and a half train ride from manhattan along hudson, into the mountains, views of catskills

phf: of course these days it's just a generic american smalltown

phf: my friend, whose father is a professor of divinity, was eager to inform me that the village was founded by huguenots

phf: they do have a lot of beautiful land

mircea_popescu: not even a bad way to do all this, avoid confusion.

mircea_popescu: phf, looked to me like a regrind (patrch got absorbed)

mircea_popescu: i'm just going by the stereotype. he dun look like jackie brown, he's not enjoying a +ev situation with usg.whatever.

mircea_popescu: seems more often "orc, who could have been lord, instead sells cigs out of a suitcase".

asciilifeform: orc, who oughta be selling cigarettes out of a suitcase at the sunday market , instead taking home google payola, etc

mircea_popescu: this is a tenuous point.

mircea_popescu: perversity only starts from a certain brainbox cubage onwards.

mircea_popescu: "what is mgm, with a patch on the eye on the corner begging for nickles ? they repackage free shit idiots gave them in the hopes of '''making name for selves''' and pretend like they;re in business"

mircea_popescu: last thing normie muppet will do, no matter what, is admit he was a normie muppet.

mircea_popescu: who could have predicted getting a large number of morons that can't figure out ip addressing isn't worth anyone's time ?!?!!?

a111: Logged on 2017-12-22 17:18 weevlos: trinque: we are a media publication. our power and capital comes from the number of visitors we have to the site. we aim to transform through culture. if normal people cannot visit our site we are not accomplishing our goal

mircea_popescu: how could you not be happy your article was popular!!! didn't it get a lot of visitors ?!?!?! http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-22#1756992 ?! ☝︎

epony: a person, reading the blog at loper..

Mocky: ahahaha shoemoney and his mfa check for $130k made out to 'nextpimp', man what a decade ☟︎

mod6: and i finally digested this turdbag of a log

mircea_popescu: in other lulz / other dead things, https://www.shoemoney.com/ completely forgotten. nobody gives a shiot even about his cheapass bitcoin bait.

mircea_popescu: most of the extant ones consist of a subunitary mancount.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823278 << same old http://trilema.com/2014/pushing-the-soft-tender-flesh-of-a-friend-against-the-sharp-rotating-blades-of-the-immutable-machine/#selection-47.1-47.53 problem. ☝︎

asciilifeform: ther's a pulldown enabled on it, so that will give basic litmus re whether we found

mircea_popescu: maybe a low power xray shot would actually be worth it, see if there's any lone balls.

asciilifeform: ( either that or it's a sad and unrouted ball entirely )

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i don't expect pulling up all the pins one at a time will brick the machine, do you ?

mircea_popescu: saw an old woman balancing a sack on her head while looking in a shop window. ~split the diff ?

mircea_popescu: not a bad trick...

Mocky: speaking of drool, i saw a moron at the gym today balancing a water bottle on his head while chatting up a chic. almost got a pic

mircea_popescu: if you go hang out on highschool campus, a very infuriating process of cockteasing may well be the norm.

Mocky: "Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun. You don't stare at it. It's too risky. Ya get a sense of it and then you look away."

a111: Logged on 2016-12-29 18:40 asciilifeform: not everybody wants to be involved with mega-empires, on the giving or on the receiving end. in that light, the pashtun mountains are every bit a 'high-tech' deterrent as a SAM battery.

asciilifeform: i have 1 of these here ( well, a part-timer )

mircea_popescu: this is a pretty cool cat, tbh.

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823317 << the tiny furry bastard. has a whole greeting protocol, consistent vocalizations, says his name by way of butthole display. worlds beyond what these derps consider communication when they arrive. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: Sleep in the hills with blanket, kalash, and a local goat-girl

a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 21:01 hl`: not really trustworthy if they have non-free firmware on them, but theoretically they have a use case

mircea_popescu: medieval minds gave a lot of funny coats to things.

BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> nontheless, it would offend my brothers and sisters to do such a thing << Come to Uruguay. Live here six months. Hire girls you would have though good looking when you arrived, but because of their deep cultural failings you now view as well dressed more fuckable goats.

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, it's mostly a medieval conceit. had to display it as something. you ever saw the dog-like elephant i linked once ?

mircea_popescu: grow the apple in the shape of a bitcoin...

danielpbarron: nontheless, it would offend my brothers and sisters to do such a thing

danielpbarron: i cannot personally be responsible for such a thing
