asciilifeform: iirc , was subcaste of gypsies, who lived 100% by training & exhibiting bear

asciilifeform re bear -- could've sworn mircea_popescu once wrote a piece re 'ursar' , the old caste of bear handler folx. but can't seem to find.

asciilifeform: a++

asciilifeform: a. i saw 'I'm back from two-and-a-something months abroad' and thought ' mircea_popescu & co didn't stay for the autumn rains ' etc

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://thewhet.net/2019/09/easterly-travelogue/

asciilifeform: ( granted, mircea_popescu's piece iirc did not mention search )

asciilifeform: lobbes: but if you want the thing to be searchable -- will need, eventually, indices.

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: oh hey lobbes -- ported to mysql ? do the indices work ?

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-22#1937527 << will add that 'commercialize' doesn't require seekrit sauces, necessarily (e.g. FG is 100% published, to no detectable detriment)

asciilifeform: ( from hanbot's piece i drew conclusion that mircea_popescu is back home, but possibly he's simply 'night shift' nao )

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-22#1937543 << lol i actually like waking up to a mircea_popescu piece tho

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty great, i'm almost surprised there aren't (or are there...) moar of these

asciilifeform: lobbes: as in, measuring, cutting, iron.

asciilifeform: lobbes: neato.

asciilifeform spent the day in ironworks, away from console

asciilifeform: woah ultracompact log.

asciilifeform: ( accompanying thrd in #a, if anyone gives shit )

asciilifeform: meanwhile in asciilifeform's www comments.

asciilifeform: like the old clergy, plenty of simoniacs, back-scratchers, misc. hangers-on

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: nominally organized army of great inca, aha; but on the periphery , all sortsa oddball barnacles attached

asciilifeform: + oblig trilema .

asciilifeform: see also e.g.

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-20#1937438 << imho mircea_popescu has mega-point in there -- i dunno re the british , but over here all sortsa nonsense gets 'university affiliated' , via barely coupla k $ of greased palms. it's almost like the 'churches' thing .

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-20#1937444 << BingoBoingo : when asciilifeform showed pet photo of that chix, was asked 'why the fuck didntcha bring her in as pet!' lol

asciilifeform: meanwhile, from the lulzcollector traps : usg nuke ministry's attempt at ffa. ( for bonus laffs, they apparently have a shithub, fulla misc. opensores rubbishes ...)

asciilifeform: there was a crate of tank pressure regulators stamped 'hydrogen' , 'patent 1943', but dun think i could bring myself to use these.

asciilifeform: ~all of asciilifeform's torture room furnishings, from there.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i make regular visits to the scrapyards, sometimes find a++ deals.

asciilifeform: they were all matching pairs tho.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol i missed 1 in 1st count aha

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lulzily, the dealer sold these with a rack, also brand-new, back an' front doors & all. i have sadly nowhere for another rack to live, let'im keep it

asciilifeform: i couldn't help but wonder what these people do when they need to pull one from inside the stack

asciilifeform: some of'em even yellowing-white , clearly 15+ y.o. items

asciilifeform: ( for folx who haven't been to piz house : picture desktop 'dell's stacked 12 high )

asciilifeform: eye-popping.

asciilifeform: saw these, aha

asciilifeform: i'm still pissed that these can't be bought in the south americas and have to be flown, wtf monkey men

asciilifeform: (normally they retail for 50-100 ea., which is imho outrageous, but fact.)

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: meanwhile, at the scrap dealer, asciilifeform picked up 12 pairs of ~mint-condition rack rails for 50 $ . 9 x '1u', 4 x '2u' .

asciilifeform never fully grasped what is 'chavismo', other than a vague 'say no to colonization by washington' thrust

asciilifeform: a.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i seem to recall that she was actually chinese ?

asciilifeform: err, bromine trifluoride.

asciilifeform: imho you gotta try an' strip those valence electrons, BingoBoingo , an' make that boron trifluoride. that was a++ grade chix.

asciilifeform: ha

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lemme guess -- to miami ?

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: speaking of these -- whatever became of yer 'venezolana' ?

asciilifeform has been doing decidedly 'unsexy' chores -- testing rk's , and making lotsa small holes in aluminum...

asciilifeform: subj for ref.

asciilifeform goes to reread mircea_popescu's bridge nets algo piece

asciilifeform: ( granted it is possible that some net has oddball nonstandard auth etc )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's 0 fleanode-specific logic in the current bot. if connecting to diff net, then it goes in place of fleanode in 'servers = .... ' in config .

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why would a net bridge require changes to bot tho ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'registering a chan on ~any other network~ and writing the bridge code' read like diff item. but if actually refers to 'bridge nets', then aite

asciilifeform: diana_coman: ty. (and yes this is a thing that students can do. maybe with help of whip.)

asciilifeform: for reference : the orig. urlism thread . ( last paused at mircea_popescu's 'let's think some moar' )

asciilifeform: meanwhile in http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-18#1937255 -- apparently phf still tuned in , and fixed when i asked. but really we oughta settle the url thing imho, so can finally import era1 .

asciilifeform: diana_coman: np. plox to spot-test for correctness when you get a chance.

asciilifeform: ( lobbes : dun fughet to 1) verify and then 2) strip out the pgpisms in this dump , when eating )

asciilifeform: diana_coman: 'delete from loglines where chan = 'ossasepia' and idx < 1000000;' and then eaten your deeded dump. ate w/out eggog. plox to lemme know if see barf.

asciilifeform brb,teatime

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-19#1937350 << ty diana_coman , i'ma feed it today.

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-19#1937347 << that's the piece i dun have of yet. ( and imho oughta be implemented after the no-dates-url thing is properly solved. otherwise will have to be 100% rebaked when it is. )

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-19#1937321 << does anyone ~actually~ do this ? outside of terminal, asylum-grade cases of 'napoleons'

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-19#1937305 << afaik classical irc doesn't bridge 'b/w chans' but b/w networks. ( or is the idea to bake a #t on another net and echo what is said there, via bot ? )

asciilifeform guesses : 'in reconnect bug loop'

asciilifeform: diana_coman: where's ossabot ?

asciilifeform: ^ i'ma finally cycle that thing in coupla days, bvt's reconnector & mircea_popescu's 'plox to mark crosspostism' to swap in.

asciilifeform: !q uptime

asciilifeform: wb trinque ( and deedbot ) !

asciilifeform: a++ spamarketing. (waithefuq is 'his' b00k in english ??)

asciilifeform: and meanwhile asciilifeform's local saduniversity institutes mandatory vegetarian menu in the barracks cafeteria .

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-18#1937258 << >> http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2018-08-08#1840303

asciilifeform: aa! ty BingoBoingo

asciilifeform: ( maybe was in era1 l0gz. the d00d ran a shitcoin of some description. and asciilifeform is certain that he found out about it from trilema or l0gz, as he dun read shitcoinism straight from atmosphere )

asciilifeform: hm. possibly i dreamed it

asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu had a piece devoted to this particular lolcow ( but can't seem to find in o(1)... )

asciilifeform: meanwhile, phf's site appears to have fallen down. i.e. only access to era1 l0gz is nao by hand.

asciilifeform: ^ a+++ nostalgia fuel, spyked

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha! i never understood why 'negative associations with bull'. the ancients worshipped the bull, the cow. critter feeds man, moar than dog ever was able

asciilifeform: aha, redoing

asciilifeform: breast famously (if poorly documentedly) comes with a 'if defective then 'forget' to feed it' exception handler

asciilifeform sees ideal of university education as moar of a decockroaching rather than continuation of kindergarten 'learn through repetition'

asciilifeform: re vestigial glands, incidentally, see also this vintage bit

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu in fact annotated already 10x moar tlp than asciilifeform was even able to swallow when read decade ago

asciilifeform buys.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so , model of tlp, as sort of st. francis preaching to the birds ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the last 1 particularly egregious. wai would a ~thinking fella specifically address his worx to the most abject ameritards ?!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't even immediately think of any remaining 'rms' with any ~life left in'em for such a thing

asciilifeform: d00d's whole life was defined, seems , by 'just wanting to'(tm)(r) .

asciilifeform: let him chase buffer overruns an' dangling pointers in the pits of tartarus 4evah.

asciilifeform: ( and imho is in fact the single most easily identifiable face that is answerable for us being stuck w/ unix to this day, at that )

asciilifeform: rms, imho, richly deserves to reap errything he has sown.

asciilifeform: in the end asciilifeform cut out glibc entirely, and never again gave a shit re whether it is fixed or not.

asciilifeform: summary in log, iirc was : asciilifeform wrote to rms re the 'libnss' garbage preventing static linking of glibc. rms 0 reply. but when mircea_popescu wrote, rms answered w/ jwzisms.

asciilifeform: dunno whether this is of any current-day interest to mircea_popescu , but there it was.

asciilifeform: 5 april 2015 .

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: found the rms item btw : was apparently 1st mentioned in ciphrogram, here repgp'd back to mircea_popescu for ref . ( then afterwards mircea_popescu summarized briefly in log. )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not so many 80yo d00dz have working cns. ( ~possibly~ rms circa 1990 would have been ~interesting in forum. but this ? fungus )
