asciilifeform: technically asciilifeform was responsible for 'chicken' ( the procedure whereby mp's 0.5.3.tar.gz was transformed into genesis but if mircea_popescu is willing to answer for it, i have 0 prob, lol )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-21#1852575 << in moar ways than one. but this , was simply mindboggling, default is to slowly fill disk with eggogola , and guesswat, tail GB of it was... warnings of impending fulldisk!☝︎
asciilifeform: point wasnt 'lnx sux', was re usg's various ploys to sell their expensive lng against cheaper ru item
asciilifeform: ( for expert entomologists strictly ! ) http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/cqjcB/?raw=true << from the horse's mouth, re how and when the 2 scams merged together. ( derp blocks archivers, as if this does him some good )
asciilifeform: oh oh and let's not fughet : '... improved HTTPS proxying and fresh crypto jets.'
asciilifeform: apparently i was still subscribed to... urbit ml. where today we learn that : 'The tooling around the PKI transition to Ethereum is coming along nicely. Contracts are pretty much frozen. It’s all UI and key generation now.'
asciilifeform: in other phunkpakt, a freebsd box set up to defaults will piss out about 500MB/yr in liquishit into /var/spool/clientmqueue , which ( given no sendmail on box, because why the fuck ) slowly fills, and after $years will fill disk. ( at which point , if you're asciilifeform and its yer house router, whole orchestra goes down, and you gotta clean it... )☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: lol that and ~80% of the ic's sold errywhere
asciilifeform: or maybe not dumb enuff to 'escape' to usg's 'unsinkable carrier'(tm)(r) whoknows
asciilifeform: moar peculiarly, 'The FBI told Reuters that the suspect has not been arrested or charged with a crime...'
asciilifeform suspects that all usg 'confiscate errything' letterhead nao is perma-stamped 'child pr0n investigation'
asciilifeform: 'The warrant issued by a U.S. magistrate in Las Cruces, New Mexico, showed that on Sept. 14 agents removed from the man’s home three cell phones, five laptops, one iPad, an external hard drive, 16 thumb drives, 89 compact flash disks and other material' << notbad.jpg toybox for 'janitor under contract to clean the facility'
asciilifeform: the upstack item however is mainly of interest to laptopists -- as it draws 0 current when not updating.
asciilifeform: Mocky: the contents of my lcd's, move very little, would quite handily work on 'epaper'. if it came in metre size..
asciilifeform: spew is rubbish, if the contents are important you'll buffer'em
asciilifeform: not as if spew is that readable even on fast display
asciilifeform: Mocky: so happens that i stare at a screen up to 14h/d and would prefer that it reflect, rather than emit, light, but i've yet to meet device that would properly replace lcd for e.g. emacsing. possibly will exist.
asciilifeform: Mocky: i've been using'em for yrs, for reading txt. but nobody ever afaik sold a lappy with one, 'because winblows mouse cursor will snailtrail' and such
asciilifeform: these items have partial redraw, so in principle text-based items would work properly.
asciilifeform: ( you won't play 'doom' on a 1hz monitor, but e.g. emacs , will work )
asciilifeform: item did not exist 2wks ago ( asciilifeform has a semi-automated process to look for certain things if they happen to be born )
asciilifeform: also worx as desktop display ( prolly would need a kernel framebuffer diddle tho )
asciilifeform: in other misc noose, chinese nao sell a 10inch spi-interfaced eink display thing with <1s refresh, fits on e.g. our rk3328-roc-cc board without solderings. theoretically a lappy can be hand-sewn .☟︎
asciilifeform: well for 1 thing the former dun work 'continuously', it works for 2, maybe 3 decades of organism, with rare exception. while latter good for ~40-50
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'tower of chairs' item implies 'if only they'd open their third eye, would swim in cunt' hypothesis
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly, or possibly i'm missing a link in the logic circuit
asciilifeform: dunno, i thought mircea_popescu were adherent of (imho reasonable..) 'most males good only for mutton' pov
asciilifeform: this does not closely align with the reality experienced by d00dz who aint mircea_popescu ..
asciilifeform reasons from kindergarten 1stprinciple, 'penniless chix has with what to pay stranger, bloke - not'
asciilifeform: shops, taxis, toilets, pretty much errywhere
asciilifeform: ~erry 3rd open window on ~erry street, nearly
asciilifeform: speaking of which, smell of weed has become ~inescapable in washingtonistan. even in stopped traffic at lights, windows ~closed~, seeps in from neighbouring columns
asciilifeform: fdr et al pulled epic pr stunt on their moomoos , convinced 'we're softer, gentler, not at all like germany' while burning down entire of e.g. jp , etc . pretense carried on for a spell, retooled 'we aint at all like evil moscuvy' , then finally dispensed with entirely when obsolete
asciilifeform: phf: against the indians, lol, if we go back enuff
asciilifeform: phf: but there was a short period in ustard history where they (mostly) maintained appearances of 'hey we aint nazi, not at all'
asciilifeform: phf: i dun for a moment suspect that 'set'em all on fire, let god sort out' is new.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dun keep'em from trying, eh
asciilifeform: 'There's also seems to be a brewing controversy of how last night's blaze came to be and whether it was set deliberately. In this clip, from KCAL 9 News in California, police can be heard saying "f*cking burn this motherfu*cker..."' << and ditto.
