ben_vulpes: anyways, your penchant for finding what is wrong with anything aside, openbsd happily supplants os x on mac hardware. for
those willing
to endure some pain
to get away from
the shitgnomes, and who have not been obsessively
tending a gentoo installation since 1999.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i never heard of metal colloid
thermopaste shorting anything << Apparently with silver colloid a concern is possibility of becoming capacitive after cooking long enough. Silver is always a special case because grand chamption conductor
ascii_butugychag: keep in mind, if
there aren't at least 2880 pixels horizontally, i'm not interested.
ben_vulpes: if
that means working in
terminals or not using any chrome in x11, so be it.
ben_vulpes: listen, i just want a machine
that's not running os x with
the hardware quality build of
the golden-era macintosh laptops.
ben_vulpes: i doubt it's leveraging
the gpu at all
ascii_butugychag: and i'm not interested in spending ANOTHER MOTHERFUCKING SIX MONTHS fighting
the graphics card driver
ben_vulpes: x11 wms do
this better
than os x does.
ascii_butugychag: and if
the windows don't go back
to
their places when different sets of monitors are unplugged and re-plugged, also not interested
adlai: (it deals with wtf "hard" and "soft" forking means, which most derps seem
to assume
they understand)
ben_vulpes will be acquiring more vintage hardware in
this vein
ben_vulpes: aged, delicate, valuable. should be
treated as such.
adlai notes
that bitcoin.org's latest "Appendix A" is basically a restatement of his latest qntra's "footnote #3"
ben_vulpes: also,
this machine is not suited
to be a portable anymore.
mircea_popescu: linton_s_dawson funny
that all
the poorfags are so preoccupied with
THIS nowadays, huh.
mircea_popescu: " we can't
test
them all.
Thanks for your understanding." << what
the fuck are we understanding ?
that
the kids don't belong anywhere near a computer, off
to
the farm ?
mircea_popescu: and what if i
take distilled water and add silver shavings ?
kakobrekla: what ascii is saying,
take water and measure conductivity while gradually adding salts, but silver pastes are [mostly] safe in
this user case
ben_vulpes: ascii_butugychag: if you're looking for something
to do with
those old mac laptops, openbsd 5.8 runs like a dream on 'em
mircea_popescu: by
this
theory a good way
to make a window is by mixing diamonds in
the concrete.
mircea_popescu: i never heard of metal colloid
thermopaste shorting anything
ascii_butugychag: '... We knew
this change would break other ports, but given
that
there are some 100 ports
that depend on qt4-mac, we can't
test
them all.
Thanks for your understanding.'
ascii_butugychag: 'It does install qmake, just not where it was installed before. .....
This change was made
to allow parallel install of qt4 and qt5 (and, possible, other qt# variations). If you're having issues with other ports
that depend on qt4-mac, please open a
ticket for each and/or list
them here & we will work hard
to get
them fixed promptly.
kakobrekla: some if not most silver
thermal pastes dont actually conduct electricity
assbot: Logged on 07-01-2016 01:38:57; mircea_popescu: " and
then you look at
the code and it's
the same set of aggressive, google employed queergenders." << actually yes.
BingoBoingo: Couldn't use
the stuff with silver because surface mounted stuff on chip not covered by metal cap. Still about 10C cooler
than yesterday.
thestringpuller: adlai: i'd rather not have
to choose between multiple bowls of shit for dinner.
BingoBoingo: Turns out better
thermal grease actually does make a big difference
BingoBoingo: In other news revamped my desk's noise generators. Instead of ~150 CFM of external fan, ~11 CFM is now producing adequate noise
to cool machine.
mircea_popescu: afaik a registrar has
the authority
to do exactly nothing.
that said, i suppose
they may
try
to steal
the domain. not like similar stuff hasn't happened in
the past (anyone recall
the sex.com saga ?)
shinohai: Might
this grow into a protracted battle?
adlai: thestringpuller:i'd rather have miners publishing empty blocks instead of confirming nickle-fee
TXs,
than have
them blindly hand over what little power
they do have
to some random plutocracy
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 14:39:46; punkman: fucking UPS. pay for 1-2day shipping and get 6day shipping instead, even if
the weather is fine and
there's over 9000 planes flying
towards my mailbox.
thestringpuller: Hmmm. So node would broadcast
tx and would never see it confirm...that's broken behavior imo.
mircea_popescu: the road
to perdition is paved with ever increased abstractions.
mircea_popescu: the march of "civilisation". replace
things with
the fetish of
things, items with
tokens "representing" items and so on.
mircea_popescu: kinda how
the world works.
typical strip club makes more money selling
titshelf space
than it does selling booze
BingoBoingo: Because who wants
to be a shopkeep when you can be a landlord
BingoBoingo: It's just amazing
the way
the
typical supermarket makes more money selling shelf space
than it does selling... products.
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 13:06:39; mircea_popescu: what
the fuck is all
that other shit and what's with
the heartshape fixation ?
assbot: My son wants
to make money. My daughter wants
to marry a rich prince. Here’s
the problem. | No Idea What I'm Doing: A Daddy Blog ... (

ascii_butugychag: in other nyooz, 'It looks like lxr.linux.no has closed without notice some
time during
the first half of 2014. Whether
there is a backup of LXRng is unknown.'
ascii_butugychag: 'they say it's
the biggest meat processing plant on oddworld....'
assbot: Logged on 12-01-2015 17:37:34; mircea_popescu:
there's a
ton of bitpay exceptionalism / captn of industry-ism flooding out of reddit. in point of fact, bitpay is a struggling start-up
that missed
the boat.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform:
thought you might have, at $rupturefarmz << Funny how Oddworld is
the first result when put 'Rupture Farms' into google
ascii_butugychag: i finally realized,
though, where mircea_popescu gets his odd notions of usg life
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2015 16:53:36; mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell bingoboingo now
that pair is actually
trying
to resurect bitcoin magazine again, a blow by blow history of exactly how bitpay &
the scam foundation stole
that magazine from its owners a coupla years ago would be quite
topical.
the forum's got a pile of posts, see vladimir's stuff, maybe even interview him.
ascii_butugychag: usg has, like or not, plenty of money
to
throw around. i have seen
the golden
toilets.
mircea_popescu: you don't get any cunt, but you do get
to hang out with a bunch of obnoxious
teens who act as if you did.
punkman: mircea_popescu: punkman> shinohai: I wonder what I have
to do
to get actual "express" shipping << not live in greece ? :D << probably gonna be worse in
the places I'd like
to live at next
mircea_popescu: so if you're willing
to not ask for
the shortfall be covered,
they're willing
to blabla MIT !1 bla bla bla around you.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how
the usg works.
they ain't got a pot
to piss in, and consequently won't be actually coverin gany shortfalls. all
they got is a whole lot of pretense based on a whole lot of puffery.
mircea_popescu: to no-one's surprise
that's been following
the discussion here.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla>
to Chiang mai <<< doing his part
to stop global... warming.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag
they get repossessed more often
than rent-a-cars!
ascii_butugychag: i would like
to live in
the parallel universe mircea_popescu is posting from
mircea_popescu: punkman> shinohai: I wonder what I have
to do
to get actual "express" shipping << not live in greece ? :D
mircea_popescu: heck,
the
tanks
the us army "deploys" are all rentals.
copypaste: how hard is it
to fake being a jew?
mircea_popescu: <copypaste> ascii_butugychag: oh, i didn't know
that. interesting << eh he's making shit up. usg doesn't have own pot
to piss in.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_butugychag> sorta like
the water you get from washing a pot after normal
tea << quite exactly lol! i wonder if
this is actually what
they were shooting for.
jurov: ascii_butugychag: i only know it was
targeted
to hu minorities
that never lived in any version of hu
