PeterL: I thought it was everybody but yugo's chrome the barrel?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i thought this was standard, from end of ww2 to present day
BingoBoingo: And the Yugos chrome the inside of the barrels
asciilifeform: at 1 time, they were sold in usa for next to nuffin, aha
PeterL: I was in a gun store in 2010, they had an SKS for $120, but I didn't get it, wish I did, now they run about $450 around here ☟︎
asciilifeform: item dates to late '40s
BingoBoingo: I've seen the chicoms chrome them for honor guards
asciilifeform: where there was a d00d in old-style austrohungarian uniform but with old sovok rifle
asciilifeform: PeterL: the sks comment was re mp's budapest 'changing of the guard' photo
asciilifeform: PeterL: in city , can't use anyffin that can be heard even from across street
BingoBoingo: Air gun kills trash pandas
BingoBoingo: The old women are upset so they say "bad for children" just like in old country. And new mayor of Montevideo hasn't even been on the job for a whole month.
asciilifeform: PeterL: unrelated threads.
lobbesbot: PeterL: Sent 1 day, 16 hours, and 28 minutes ago: <billymg> yup, if you want the patch that fixes svg image links you can grab mp-wp_update-image-references-to-svg from here http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=mp-wp&search= - although i recommend going for the latest patch on that page

PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-21#1909210 << are you shooting the raccoons with a SKS, or am I mistakenly mixing these log lines together? ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: "Stink of the Children!"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The tards started their appeal to INAU, the agency for child and adolescent matters
BingoBoingo: Las Jineteadas are like bullriding, except bulls are sacred cattle here so instead they piss off some horses and proceed from the bullriding premise
asciilifeform: lol, is this the usual 'ohnoez, what if a legate from clintonistan sees a dead horse!111' ?
BingoBoingo: And the locals now want to ban the last cowboysport left in the Country over two dead horses https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/jineteadas-una-tradicion-apoyada-por-el-estado-en-jaque-tras-las-muertes-de-caballos-en-el-ruedo-2019421201657
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: refuel scheduled, nao waiting' for the traditional telephonic tea ceremony from bank etc
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: ty, generally people are back to work now that "semana de tourismo" has come to an end
a111: 2019-02-19 <ave1> Btw asciilifeform, I had to switch my cheap NFS account to a more expensive one as php 5.6 is no longer supported in their new setup. I expect that sometime, at the end of this year, 5.6 will also disappear from "production" sites.
trinque: would be great to see ave1 take this on, and then perhaps get deterministic bins. could cut official ISOs from there ☟︎
asciilifeform: seems like that there's the 1st item to fix.
trinque: his gcc does not build upon musl, so I have not. prodded him a few times about getting his to run on a musl box. ☟︎
asciilifeform: has anyone attempted to build the whole orchestra on ave1's gcc ?
trinque: in fact, now that caught, repair *should* commence. gcc is the best first thing to fix. ☟︎
trinque: it does not mean that all must e.g. not substitute their own gcc. it just means that this ground, however undesirable, will not be lost like every other time I said "eh gonna go install another gentoo"
trinque: anyhow, my project here was to take a snapshot of a working gentoo musl, i.e. a snapshot of the work of others. I intentally kept myself out of the chain of custody of all deps.
asciilifeform: trinque: speaking moar from concrete than theoretical pov -- gcc5 has documented 'optimizations' that remove bounds checks
trinque: why not gcc3 or 2 then? where'd the thompson come in? ☟︎
asciilifeform really must dust off the old notes and try this with own hands; the presence of gcc5 in the build bothers asciilifeform not only from 'practical' but from thompsonistic pov
asciilifeform: i was able to bake a musl 'busybox' linux for pogo in '15, but admittedly this was not a gentoo
trinque: http://distfiles.gentoo.org/experimental/amd64/musl/ << yep, they purge them pretty aggressively
asciilifeform: ( and that no one had baked a musl stage3 that could be worked from that had <5 ? )
asciilifeform: trinque: as i understand , orig problem is that the stage3 shipped a gcc6 ?
trinque: what I'd *really* like is a binary-reproducible gcc of any stripe, and to create an official image from that, have others duplicate
a111: Logged on 2017-12-23 04:39 trinque: I just ran over here, build craps out of gcc-4 with "cannot create executables"
asciilifeform: trinque: do you perchance have the thread handy
trinque: if somebody finds a way of leaping directly from gcc6 to 4, I'll applaud him, but I'm not burning any more hours of life in there ☟︎☟︎
trinque: your traditional recipe is not on musl
trinque: reason is in the logs.
asciilifeform: i.e. i was able to build conventional gentoo ( per my old recipe ) w/out any such thing in the mix ☟︎
asciilifeform: spyked: i admit that i still dunget why it needs the gcc5 step
spyked will cross that bridge when he comes to it
spyked: asciilifeform, unfortunately 2GB (max. supported by motherboard) might still not be enuff. ideally I would plug in ave1 gnat build and use it to build a minimal system, but will prolly have to bootstrap the whole thing on another machine. ☟︎
diana_coman: ugh; I hate rats as it is, no need for bigger ones; that being said, I can already picture the euloran "stan's layr" complete with lumber-electronics a la http://ossasepia.com/2018/06/26/euloras-own-cr50/ and weird rats/trash pandas to fight for resources.
asciilifeform: with opposable thumb (!) opens rubbish bins, even turns door knobs
asciilifeform: diana_coman: iirc we had thrd re 'trash panda' ; picture aggressive 20kg rat, eats e.g. cat, tunnels through drywall, w/out breaking a sweat
diana_coman: I actually like hedgehogs but if it didn't have enough brain to roam the gardens only...
asciilifeform: i nealy asked 'why wouldja shoot a hedgehog' but then reread lol
diana_coman: I had only one instance of a crow-eating-eyes-out-of-roadkill-hedgehog but I was sadly in a hurry and by the time I came back there was no trace of it left
a111: Logged on 2019-04-21 23:35 asciilifeform: meanwhile nailed 1st 'trash panda' of this spring. head popped like melon, eyes ejected.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-21#1909210 -> now I get it why asciilifeform doesn't play computer games anymoar - can't compete with real trash pandas! ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: will set up your refueling today.
asciilifeform sadly did not happen to have any of the requisite type, or would've put in
asciilifeform: circa 2010 or so. visit the flea market.
asciilifeform: spyked: iirc that box eats commonplace lappy so-dimm
a111: Logged on 2019-04-17 16:24 asciilifeform: unrelatedly : phf , iirc you signed a coupla ch of ffa prior to the keccak regrind. didja ever sign the reground chs ?
spyked: and in http://trilema.com/2019/the-egeszsegfejlesztesi-pont/#selection-153.0-158.0 lulz <-- /me was looking for more photos of this wonderful town, stumbled upon http://archive.is/cXfL7 ; notbad trolling
spyked: meanwhile, asciilifeform's lappie arrived last week, I'ma encuntooate it soon. I expect it'll be a bit of a challenge to compile on 1GB of RAM: cuntoo bootstrapping sadly requires building gcc-5, which iirc asks for more than that. either way, I'ma put this on the list as the next item to document.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-06 05:08 spyked is off into the mountains
spyked: in spyked updates: feedbot-iii is scheduled to be published this week, followed by schedule for next work, followed by (by now late) pics from http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-06#1907055 ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-04-11 01:57 asciilifeform: mod6: if you want to talk to a ttl-usb serial dongle, you gotta match one of the classical baud rates, or you get rubbish (and not the desired rubbish, either, but patterned rubbish -- or nothing at all)
asciilifeform: potentially a long-term cure for ye olde headache with fg's ttl plugs. ☝︎
asciilifeform: $item claims to do 12Mbaud .
asciilifeform: in entirely unrelated heathen lulz : asciilifeform found an -- apparently working -- usb 'serial device' stack for ice40 . only eats 1/3 of the LUTs in the '8k', too. ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: i seem to recall that BingoBoingo had 1
asciilifeform: imho notbad, for pestcontroller tool that runs on air
asciilifeform: meanwhile nailed 1st 'trash panda' of this spring. head popped like melon, eyes ejected. ☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: Most of them already vaccinated, but... Excuse to stand in line for one to six hours (Other ways without the wait, but they insist on the van where the line is).
BingoBoingo: Not everywhere as in the mumps outbreak last year in the Cowork. As in, bitches be panicking and lining up for vaccination vans.
asciilifeform: ever since they decided that vaccine is work of devil, i suppose
BingoBoingo: Indeed. Seems to be getting everywhere recently.
asciilifeform: via BingoBoingo's link, moar epidemi-lulz -- measles apparently nao is a thing in BingoBoingostan

a111: Logged on 2019-04-20 21:42 BingoBoingo: Not making Qntra today is Erlang's Joe Armstrong dying.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-20#1909143 << if he had bought it 10y ago, perhaps erlang would still be usable today, nearly as-found, like gnat . but sadly lived long enuff to deliver it to the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1764882 people.. ☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-21 12:43 mp_en_viaje: tokyo has 5 star hotels without bathtubs. boston has 5 star hotels without bidets. dubai managed to have both at some point. and so on.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-21#1909179 << can't resist to bite into this : chicago also has '5star' w/out bathtub. seen with own eyes. as for bidet, iirc 1 time some hotel magnate had'em installed, and it caused puritanwank on front pages of the fishwrap, hastily removed. ( iirc was in fact chronicled in an ancient mircea_popescu piece ! ) ☝︎
BingoBoingo: ^ In US relevance today

billymg: nice photos, the bagel with the smoked salmon one is making me hungry
billymg: as in, the more you experience without achieving contentment the more you realize contentment won't come from those things/experiences
billymg: but does one, at the point of experiencing most of what the world has to offer in terms of material comforts, eventually lump all of these together and separate them from.. i want to say, "true comforts"?

mp_en_viaje: tokyo has 5 star hotels without bathtubs. boston has 5 star hotels without bidets. dubai managed to have both at some point. and so on. ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: the more you see, the more you like, the more you like, the less likely it becomes it can all be piled in the same place. thus experience is the enemy of contentment.\
mp_en_viaje: i don't know that every single window you've yet interacted with is only fit for burning, because how would you. yet it's true.
mp_en_viaje: then if he goes on to pittsburg, becomes less impressed by akron, and then on to new york and even less impressed by either p or a ; and then on to whatever, europe, where they have sane heating and sane window systems and no town in the us can ever satisfy again, becasuse why would these morons use wrong windows omfg wtf is wrong with people. and so on and so following.
mp_en_viaje: as in, country bumpkin will be impressed by akron. the mechanism of the impressing's not akron, but bumpkin ; even though self-loving like all derps, the bumpkin assigns it to akron.
billymg: sorry, meant that as a question before fingers slipped on the keys
billymg: as in, having experienced city, however consumerized, difficult to be content in "small tonw
mp_en_viaje: myeah. in this sense, experience is the enemy of contentment.
billymg: i came originally from small town usa, so ny was my first city experience
mp_en_viaje: pre-giuliani ny was almost still passible ; though the people who still recalled the borscth belt as personal experience likely wouldn;t have agreed
