that would be another knob
to
turn in v settings?

☟︎ mod6: this seal vector
thing is pretty cool.
trinque: Not only are
there
times when one would like
to seal a payload with a caveat of one kind or another, but presently we have no means of conveying disapproval – other
than by refraining from sealing. << check it out, a wrath bit
phf: other signing method is a microdot pattern, you know,
to cover all
the bases
☟︎ phf: can
then manually verify by doing hand rsa. primes and ciphertext are base 10 for human convenience
phf: seems like we just need different signing modes, one of
them being, "usenet
text" or somesuch, ignores repeat whitespace, only recognizes alphanum and
top row symbols, signature in
the form, "in
the year of our republic such and such i honorable citizen with
these
two primes which are my identity and my blood indicate
the validity of
the above
text, [primes] [signature ciphertext]"
mircea_popescu: mno,
the origins are batata and papa (still used as originally,
to distinguish sweet and plain varieties, here)
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm lucky
to be in an engineering-internet. were i in a scholarly-internet it'd be all "mp, potato comes from new world
therefore everything is invalid!"
mircea_popescu: prolly instafamous on various social media
turds,
too.
mircea_popescu: would make a pretty great blog
topic, you know ? for
the numerous bloggers among us constantly looking for stuff
to feed
the woodchipper with.
PeterL: use some exercicles
to power it, for obeasts
to put
their fat
to work?
mircea_popescu: i had but apparently lost a degree of magnitude on
the way.
PeterL: how much power does pogo
take?
mircea_popescu: what do
the
things actually draw, half a W or something ?
mircea_popescu: actually speaking of dc motors, i wonder if you could get a hamster
to wheel-power a pogo.
mircea_popescu: but i had no idea
that
things could pop if you use parallel! or
that you could possibly need a breaker! or
things.
mircea_popescu: seems pretty dangerous
this could happen and also should not be possibru!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform speaking of plugging into mains, you know
that if you bought a bunch of power strips and powered your entire house out of
the same socket it'd eventually a) start a fire ; b) pop
the fuse ; c) all of
the above ?
BingoBoingo: Screw it, upregulates
to 160A because it also has
to kickstart
the flywheel
mircea_popescu: win. and if i add a
third, what happens
to
the current ?
mircea_popescu: tell me
this : if you have
two 1 ohm items in parallel, at 1 volt ea, what current flows
through
the main ??
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and you know
this for a fact ? maybe
the profusion is just because people like encapsulated
things.
mircea_popescu: in parallel you're relying on same loads
to regulate your... current.
mircea_popescu: to summarize said argument attempts : line 1. "high voltage is dangerous" "mkay,
throw out your
tv" ; line 2 : "you will have
to protect
the line" "yes you will" ; line 3 : "this was done historically" "yes it was".
mircea_popescu: uncharitably i might also observe
that other
than "i say so!" "it's how it's done" "reddit would agree", relatively little actual arguments were brought, which is why
the
task of poking fun was so easy/the experience so frustrating.
mircea_popescu: I'm not necessarily against
taking mp's lines and looking in all
the folds carefully ; but it's a little silly
to do
this run off with what i
think an angle might have been, damn everything else.
mircea_popescu: llel of how mp said "^ for
the record, i've been divesting, if slowly." and you spent
two days going on about 0 value bitcoin,
then
the interval hence being butthurt
that
there's no 0 value bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> PeterL: he suggested (i still can't
tell if seriously!)
to plug
them in ~series~ << no dude. he said "see if your isp is willing
to give you a c block / upgrade your connection. buy a coupla bridges of 32 or 64, make a high voltage rectifier
thingee, and power a bunch of boxes"
then you went all crazy about how series omaygerd! and i spent
the rest of
the interval poking fun at it.
this is an exact para
mircea_popescu: jurov> actually,
that would neatly solve
the mystery of cascading failure of his raid setup << fu georg!
mircea_popescu: PeterL> maybe it is just my lack of electrical engineering knowledge, but it sounds like mircea_popescu and asciilifeform are saying
to do
the same
thing, but won't agree with each other? << you have nfi how often
this happens.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform i
think his plan
to fight some derps doing black magic is not
to squarely ignore
them, but
to DO
THINGS
to anti-magic
their magic. << Oh it's not a plan. It's noise
jurov: but it's very likely
that in absence of other opinions, dpb would actually
try it
jurov: asciilifeform: still
talked in hypotheticals, i have no indication
that actually happened
BingoBoingo: <jurov> was a while
to get used
to it. i wonder how was BingoBoingo keeping
track of his nickname when it was different every
time << nicknames attach
to bars. If bar isn't frequented enough "hey you" workz
jurov: no, he just asked
the slaves
to, like he hih do danielpbarron
jurov: if he had
the drives powered in
that way
jurov: actually,
that would neatly solve
the mystery of cascading failure of his raid setup
PeterL: maybe it is just my lack of electrical engineering knowledge, but it sounds like mircea_popescu and asciilifeform are saying
to do
the same
thing, but won't agree with each other?
mircea_popescu: decentralization being not
the answer, but
the problem, in many applications. as seen here.
assbot: Logged on 18-03-2016 14:34:24; mircea_popescu: lol davout while i'm
the first friend of humor, or so i like
to
think,
that
two weeks
tm can't stand
there. it can readily be interpreted
to mean forever, and
that just can't be.
mircea_popescu: the ~only point i made prior
to
the whole "way
things are done!11" explosion was,
that for
the price of buying extension cords for all
the shitty little bricks he can make a central power source himself.
mircea_popescu: i guess he'll need
to use
thicker wires, but hey, if it'll make your impalement sense happy why not.
mircea_popescu: anyway, would it make you happier if he puts a
transformer in between,
takes it from 300 V 1 A
to 4.5 V 60 A and
then parallels
that ?
mircea_popescu: i've been
trying
to follow
this with
the huts etc but it doesn't coallesce into a something.
