( simply, in 'civilized' world, the agents run 'terminal' proggy under microshit. whereas in orclands, ye olde ibm glass terminals. i saw one in e.g. argentina, in coupla places )
mp_en_viaje: i didn't even start with it ; the actual history as it unfurled is fucking emblematic. 1 "oh, steamos ?" 2. nowait, no os, idiots ; 3. ahahaha, THEY HAVE NO GAMES, how can they survive 4. omfg bbq NOBODY DOES HAVE ANY
a111: Logged on 2019-06-04 00:51 asciilifeform: incidentally, i generate these by machine, and it takes about 3sec per. would have put it as a net-connected hopper thing aeons ago, BUT it of course uses a heathen render (there are no 'demonstrably electrically correct' pdf eaters, and i dun expect one to exist) and suffers from the obvious problem
a111: Logged on 2018-10-26 02:14 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in gnat bugs : apparently ( and this is documented or mentioned nowhere ) : it is impossible to have a Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled type ANYWHERE inside a static library, unless it is generic all the way down (i.e. if the lib package is generic, any sub-packages must also be instantiated as generics )
a111: Logged on 2019-07-15 10:05 diana_coman: trinque: from what I see though the genesis.vpatch is a snapshot of /cuntoo/portage dir *only* which means that the actual tarballs with the code are not included anyway - so basically it will still fail to find them as soon as whatever URI in the ebuild doesn't host them anymore, what am I missing?
asciilifeform: however it only provides 'uclibc' (and not musl, as prev. noted.) ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( pretty gnarly, incidentally, had to debug crashed kernels using ~pc host~'s gdb, as there is no dedicated debuggism in the 12kB emu thing, it'd massively slow down execution just by existing)
a111: Logged on 2019-07-17 00:57 asciilifeform: near as i can guess, this was done in order to help kill loongson sinomips.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-22 16:43 asciilifeform: re: loose ends: fwiw asciilifeform did in fact add the final missing piece to mipstron. BUT! can't test with the dummkopf's orig linux image as he... guess wat, his system had little-endian word accesses but big-endian byte read/write ! so his image in fact will boot on NO existing mips, nor any afaik other emulator.

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> aaand gcc broke support around same time. << And the hard opensourpush was made to push a crippled subset of SPARC as MIPS alternative around that time as well iirc
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 22:25 mod6: Couple of other things that I wanted to mention quick, girlattorney: Just be sure to make frequent backups of your entire blockchain. Be aware also that TRB does not handle power-outtages very nicely as BDB can get corrupted; UPS and the like can help to mitigate this.

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in shitgnomery, '2013.11-rc3, Released November 26th, 2013 Fixes all over the tree. Architecture: Mark MIPS I, II, III and IV as deprecated.' ('buildroot' www)
asciilifeform: mod6: as i parsed it, she already is using tunnel.
mod6: Anyway, just throwing it out there as an alternative for you.

a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 12:15 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922497 << 'stays back' as in always 3-4 behind what someone else's (who's?) node height ? or perma-wedged at height h ?
asciilifeform: re : honest 'virtual hosts' , and re asciilifeform's backlog of outputs to be published : i have a working kernel and userland for that mips emu . runs as buildroot, a la 'rotor' . will be featured in conveyor article.
asciilifeform: but -- cheap. and 2G ram/GB nic/sata/etc. potentially useful, for, as original poster , trb.
mp_en_viaje: ima leave http://trilema.com/2018/cu-cartile-pe-masa-un-fleac-l-au-ciuruit/#selection-403.1-407.0 here and then use this as my refpoint
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: ah, I'm not complaining really, it's ...another world, what can I say; just still puzzled as to how they reason there
diana_coman: might be looking out for work as in to make sure it doesn't actually find them
asciilifeform: girlattorney: you did not specify your geography, so i assumed usa (not because always assume usa, but because it is country with world's worst bandwidth market. as in, behind nigeria, congo, et al )
asciilifeform knows several people stuck on what may as well be gas modem
a111: Logged on 2016-07-02 04:34 mircea_popescu: so, strategically, we (as in, humans, people, we) are confronted with an adversary (ie, socialist state, usg, aliens, the devil incarnate, pure evil, etc) that predicates its relevancy upon targeted computing denial (see http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-enforcement/ ; and also http://trilema.com/2015/mika-epstein-aka-ipstenu-is-a-thoroughly-clueless-poser/ re the ddos "we won't fix" and so on )
asciilifeform: as you pointed out, 'get' if live enough. and it will be a 'maybe-works' product, rather than what you want, necessarily.
girlattorney: not for free, they pay it with debt, but still as user i get the product
asciilifeform: no need to cross compile unless you're building for something too small to run gcc itself ( and chances are it won't run trb , if so small , as with 'pogo' )
mp_en_viaje: the whole fucking point of being part of btc in the first place is so that your life as you used to prior live it becomes strictly impossible.
asciilifeform: recall also that even during 'cold start sync', node is still attempting to operate as a node. it will be bombarded with tx from the peers, and (unsurprisingly) will walk the db and typically not find the referenced block , at given time (cuz it doesn't have it yet)
asciilifeform: ~95% of cpu cycles (as measured by asciilifeform in '16) of trb, is spend waiting for disk.
asciilifeform: girlattorney: in my experience, trb (with my 'aggression' patch) syncs from 0 in roughly 3wks, on a decent (fiber) pipe. however, last did this yr+ ago, and unsurprisingly the interval will only ever increase, as the chain gets heavier (on avg., grows 1000000 bytes erry 10min, recall)
asciilifeform: as you can tell, however, bitcoin still functions; simply it requires genuine node operators to do a little bit of hand curation of peer selection
asciilifeform: girlattorney: what usg did to bitcoin net, in p2p theoretical parlance is known as 'sibyl attack'
asciilifeform: larger unit (formatted to e.g. half capacity) will live longer, in principle, as more blocks between which controller can spread write cycles
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 10:44 girlattorney: hi, thanks for voice, i'm here to ask about trb. Installed it on my PC, and after 28 days almost synced. Then it happens the following: when TRB is almost at the current height (as now, 585,647), it stays back a few blocks, like now that is at 585640, and just cannot catch the latests blocks
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922497 << 'stays back' as in always 3-4 behind what someone else's (who's?) node height ? or perma-wedged at height h ? ☝︎☟︎
mp_en_viaje: in other sads, i'm reading internet "science" : "If there were no Sun (or other external energy source) atmospheric temperature would approach absolute zero. As a result there would be almost no atmospheric pressure on any planet -> PV = nRT."
mp_en_viaje: (the whole "power rangers" thing started with an event in 2013, when some usg agents masquerading as bitcoin developers (mike hearn, etc) wilfully introduced a bug which split the network while the other morons (wuile, maxwell, etc) failed to notice. the thing had to be undone through miner collu
mp_en_viaje: (prb is the name given to the one remaining group of scammers masquerading as bitcoin developers, in memory of their "power rangers" heritage. numerous others have meanwhile discontinued, too many to merit enumeration.)
mp_en_viaje: the bitnode notion of a node is about the same as the electoral notion of a "voter" : meaningful for just as long nobody gives a shit. then it's all "m00t won time's man of the year".
mp_en_viaje: this is actually not what should be happening ; if you stick around there'll prolly be a barage of questions as asciilifeform trinque mod6 & all wake up.

diana_coman: that was my initial expectation really but I suppose it's sheer size or something - the genesis is 4.6M as it is (ebuilds only)
diana_coman: see above my trouble with mysql - it's not as much the "ebuild" that is missing but rather the whole darned tarball from all the URIs that the ebuild knows about
diana_coman: trinque: from what I see though the genesis.vpatch is a snapshot of /cuntoo/portage dir *only* which means that the actual tarballs with the code are not included anyway - so basically it will still fail to find them as soon as whatever URI in the ebuild doesn't host them anymore, what am I missing? ☟︎
diana_coman: I don't know; the guys were also not keen on getting rid of garbage as maybe getting a bigger pile of garbage for themselves.
diana_coman: sounds quite close to the "making my own outsourcing comp" type I knew in Bucharest too: not keen as much on getting rid of garbage, as maybe riding it to "money"
diana_coman: well, I just checked and I still have that ebuild on smg test so I'll do the dance with that; I suppose I might just as well sign it afterwards and that's that
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile in wtf lulz, "Windows servers have a maximum of two RDP sessions and one console session available, unless the server has been licensed for use as a terminal server. Leaving two disconnected RDP sessions on the server effectively blocks anyone else from connecting to the server via RDP."
mp_en_viaje for sure has had as much as can possibly stomach of any conceivable tvworld.
mp_en_viaje: unidirectional links make about as much sense as tv broadcasts ever can.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-14#1922408 <-- I was thinking about it along the lines of "I'ma emulate the trackback by manually editing the post". but I can see your point; I'll need to at least change the post structure of my blogotron so that comments and trackbacks go below, as a continuation of what was said inside the post itself. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: the shitheads he links, too. anything as long as collectivism pure pantsuit retardation, holy hell.
mp_en_viaje: if what's happening is that you don't want auctions over 1k because you suspect settlement doesn't work over 1k because you suspect most settlement will be wu and wu won't work over 1k, that's fine, make 9xx auctions or w/e for this reason, either weekly or biweekly as convenient.
mp_en_viaje: obviously, works for only as long as nobody knows you're doing it.
BingoBoingo: Forward looking Prelude to Forward looking statement: I plan to be finished producing it tomorrow afternoon. Weekly auctions are looking like the trick to put our fiat reserve to work on auctions, because with Bitcoin climbing its become a sort of albatross just passively sitting as an "Oh shit fund" and depreciating.
mp_en_viaje: merely there as placeholder example.
asciilifeform: ( interestingly -- there is no Official fatwa against benjies in mail, afaik . simply not +ev, as it is )
mp_en_viaje: just as long as it's unyieldingly systematic, you're doing something useful.
diana_coman: as long as the smoked eel doesn't suffer...
mp_en_viaje: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/C32zX/?raw=true << meanwhile im getting... bitcoin to usd offers as trilema spam
mp_en_viaje: ie, i'm trying to help you here, but i'm trying to help you as if you were an adult running an actual business.
mp_en_viaje: the creator's bid is called the reserve price, and is stated as "opening for X"
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-09#1922167 -> uhm, raking in dough at the expense of pizarro and its customers doesn't strike me as desirable and the alternative is essentially to do the financier part for pizarro which doesn't strike me as very healthy either. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: then the 12-9 difference has to go on your books, as such. "this month, we spent 0.11 btc on incentivizing the lazy and inept cloud of hanger ons so maybe they galvanize into some kind of economically useful activity"
mp_en_viaje: now : ~if~, and this is a big if and something that needs specific management decision, you as a corp decide to carry the cost of inefficiency, so as to sponsor into existence a market,
BingoBoingo: What especially worries me is that the 500 USD parcel came in under 10k USD/BTC as well http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-09#1922130 ☝︎
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/minsk-central-market-locally-known-as-%d0%9a%d0%b0%d0%bc%d0%b0%d1%80%d0%be%d1%9e%d1%81%d0%bai-%d1%80%d1%8b%d0%bd%d0%b0%d0%ba/ << Trilema -- Minsk Central Market, locally known as i
BingoBoingo: Mocky: That would probably work. Otherwise I could change your apache vhost file to use the wwhabeeb directory as its root
asciilifeform: linux, interestingly, seems to spend good % of its boot cycles in the calculation of 'bogomips.' if subtracting this, thing boot in coupla 100 msec. (as is, approx 8sec, on my irons)
asciilifeform: 'bogomips' figure will be same errywhere, as there is no iron timer simulated yet, the faux timer is simply 'erry N instr. ticks'
BingoBoingo: Hence the Nordic impulse of Old Women to try to stagnate everything back to mud huts. Avoidance of regret by smothering the babes as they try to escape the cradle.
mp_en_viaje: this is the ~only result of universal franchise, this demuring at the wrong time followed by bitter regret just as soon as it's too late.
BingoBoingo: That's kinda the North America story in a nutshell. Could have had California gold, came late as a rush and ancestors OD'd on Kurt Cobain in the desert instead.
BingoBoingo: Lol, so it is. But as you've said Trump is a sorta clown.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in the local thrashing, Old women and Aspie alliance just changing the rules of the campaign as they go along: https://archive.is/OMA0t
mp_en_viaje: course, starting from a basis so narrow as to defy statistics. but anyways
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-07#1921975 << i dunno this is so. at the furtherst may be untested legal theory spewed by the merkelgendered, but about same substance in law as whatever nonsense the oldfatwomen come up with across the pond. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: hence, "locally sourced', as opposed to "imported"
BingoBoingo: If they Navy and all four of their boats and Army with too many generals for half a division decide to do the coup thing... as fun as that might be, gotta lay out the facts of who would be laying out
BingoBoingo: At the same time the local derps wonder why AP characterizes the Blanco Partido Nacional as merely center-right while their derpity-rose Colorados get classed as far right by the AP's English as third language speakers
BingoBoingo: So now there's a Talvi write notes for Uruguay's retirement plans to trade on wall street (as if) Colorado Party and Guido's "Guns look best with Chrome" Colorado Parties now sharing a 9/6% or 8/7% split of the vote in october.
BingoBoingo: Which, fuck it. The Colorado Party brand in Uruguay is absolutely toxic in Uruguay as the Chile (Peppers or Pinochet) brand except among the 15% of the population that is ride or die Colorado because these fucks will track their resentments happily over 7+ generations
BingoBoingo: The dig turns out otherwise empty Cabildo Abierto having been a shell started by pro-dictatorship faction of the old Colorado party trying to fork off the local reddit derps exemplified by identifies as NY trained economist guy.
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> did that kiss of death of a pompous piece of shit ever come up with something ? forget about "coinlab not launching any product". has graham's derpy scam launched anything in the 5 or so years since anyone even looked to laugh at them ? << As far as I can tell they keep whipping the same cows. Dropbox, less frequently and AirBnB all the time.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, the obvious question (from the php-mind) re the split would be "why", buttressed by the observation that "if you're gonna do any page processing at all, you wanna start after all the symbols you can possibly want to use have resolved. this is why php ~starts~ work on a pile of code AFTER things such as "calling user ip" is a known quantity : so you don't end up with two phases, one of which being stuck with undefined symbols the 2nd will
spyked: mp_en_viaje, I'm confusing some things in my explanation, namely html (as outputted by that coad) and the S-expr-html representation in cl-who. the two are separate, and this meta-embedded is done with the latter and is used to separate code macro-processed by cl-who from code that executes when the page is generated.
mp_en_viaje: spyked, i don' t think i've ever seen php that generates html that is interpreted as php that spits out html.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-05#1921771 <-- it's how html templating/pre-processing usually works, you embed one language into the other. php is perl (or whatever) interleaved with html; cl-who is very similar, only without the leaky abstractions, i.e. html trees are represented as s-exprs and can be correctly manipulated as such ☝︎
diana_coman: the one in Minsk (as in St Petersburg so I put it on -> Russian) was a. deeper (doubling as nuclear shelter?) b. accelerating for all it was worth (so more likely long-distance idea)
mp_en_viaje: i'm not even persuaded it's a bad idea. if you only have dough for that track length, making a cross possibly optimal load. and if not constrained by historical idiocy, like budapest with its 1898 lines look like they were dug by moles, might as well just make a proper grid, #
asciilifeform: ( they in fact do. but not 'because rich', but rather because will sooner forgo food than to forgo to 'feed' truck, without it is as without legs )
asciilifeform: i'ma guess that these come from same fountain of liquishit as the 'hotel' in oslo -- i.e. clients unequipped to distinguish the sham from real deal
mp_en_viaje: amusing rotard hanger-on was just complaining about it, as it happens, "because he has detected my hypocrisy", or however it works in their brains
mp_en_viaje: as someone having run such, i know what to look for.
asciilifeform: i admittedly have possibly simplistic picture, where it's quite same as miller
asciilifeform: why invest in 40 metre neons and megalith if mp_en_viaje will just as happily come to properly equipped garage, maybe is the logic
