asciilifeform: witness e.g. Mocky , going deep behind lines alone.
asciilifeform: ya was made to work in full platoon. but one 'goes to war with army he has, not wished he had'(tm)
asciilifeform has entire zoo of systems like this, sometimes goes 'wtf' and tears one down, then weeks later remembers why built it...
asciilifeform: ( personally i'd rather not trumpet 'oh he unsheaths key erry morning at 6', it tempts the white van. but mebbe justme)
asciilifeform: it does broadcast the fact that you still have yer key, there's that tho.
asciilifeform: by my reckoning, if $client is porous, resetting it periodically won't help any moar than rebooting winblowz does; if not porous, then waste
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: out of curiosity, what was the orig logic
asciilifeform: in other minor noose, 100% of blox since this morning on zoolag are from tbf/pizarro, with exception of 1, from mod6's 208.94.240.42.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform has longer legs and better stamina stat than his navigator )
asciilifeform: ( on voyage to BingoBoingostan, i left my navigator at home, then alternated between regretting it, and then thinking 'but i can go faster..' )
asciilifeform: paper map worx best if you have a fulltime navigator tho, in my experience.☟︎
asciilifeform: life is too short for crippleware imho.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1856171 << btw after my voyages with navigate-by-pnoje and the attendant frustrations with shit reception / bw tolls, invested in cheapo wrist-sized passive satellite thing. 0 maps, but will take you to specific coordinates, save waypoints, etc☝︎
asciilifeform: could have taken the 30 silvers and turned into esr in 1999, didn't.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1856140 << while i get mircea_popescu's angle of 'linus quisling, was always quisling then' , imho moar complicated, d00d did keep systemdism etc out of the kernel for 20yrs, somehow.☝︎
asciilifeform: phunphakt, it isn't even related to the infamous at&t monopoly, it is the thing formerly called 'cingular' in '90s, they simply purchased the trade name
asciilifeform: ( not esp. surprised that the lone surviver is at&t, the single worst bang-for-bux carrier in usa that i know of )
asciilifeform: Mocky: there's a commercial variant that's popular where i live, tricycle-motorcycle. all of the hospital bills, none of the vroom, i have nfi what is the appeal..
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1856035 << fwiw despite BingoBoingo's 'exterminator's eye' view , not errything and errywhere is infested, asciilifeform for instance toured BingoBoingostan (and even the infamous hostel) for just short of week and not bitten 1ce☝︎
asciilifeform: (i.e. one where you can make/receive calls, and maybe even read the l0gz)
asciilifeform: Mocky: there's typically a way to crack pnojes and unlock whether vendor wanted to or not. but you may or may not want to burn the time to do this, a reasonable pnoje can be had for pocket change
asciilifeform: can't say it was a very dire loss tho.
asciilifeform: ( and nao 404, and afaik there is no copy )
asciilifeform: it was ok collection of 'kindergarten' snippets
asciilifeform: diana_coman: there was a site (nao dead! incidentally.) with didactic/trivial pieces
asciilifeform: diana_coman: interestingly, just about my entire collection of vintage ada, with the exception of that little serpent thing, qualifies for this museum.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: thing is eminently fit for 'museum of sad ada'
asciilifeform: Mocky: most folx buy local sims if they hang around for any length of time. why wouldja want to pay your telco roaming fee for 8 weeks.
asciilifeform: products of poverty are really all quite alike.
asciilifeform: linux is a sad story for same reason as the sov pdp11 - 'why didja copy liquishit when could have made sane design' 'but CHEAP! and legacy coad! and warez!' it was economic 'forced mistake'.
asciilifeform: not being immortal, i dun deal in 'eventuallies'. fact is that plenty of things for which 'was no linus' still to this day not resolved in any form , and i dun expect to live to see resolved, either masterfully or ineptly
asciilifeform: ( i dun even necessarily disagree, but curious re logic )
asciilifeform: from where got idea that it prevented anyffing
