asciilifeform: !!up kristof

asciilifeform: linked largely for http://logs.bvulpes.com/asciilifeform?d=2018-9-1#422652 lulgem

asciilifeform: i have nfi. evidently

asciilifeform: unrelatedly, lulzy phuctor thread in phuctor castle today, http://logs.bvulpes.com/asciilifeform?d=2018-9-1#422638

asciilifeform: i think i get it

asciilifeform: aah general-purpose .

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what exactly the partnership will do ? ( and... 10% of what )

asciilifeform: insh'allah

asciilifeform not been to Troo oldworld type, no

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-01#1846578 << nah, asciilifeform also been ☝︎

asciilifeform: aaah yes

asciilifeform goes to reread

asciilifeform: how did it come about even

asciilifeform: could be temporary? or no

asciilifeform: a

asciilifeform: so what's the nifty thing in qatar, i think i missed

asciilifeform: nifty

asciilifeform: dun fughet to cackle, i hear throne rusts and caviar spoils if you neglect to , lol

asciilifeform: pretty sure if you have usa passport, you gotta go by uboat

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: they dun seem to have a pubkey, so difficult to ask'em

asciilifeform: [ insert 'a: i have no megabux, can only live where there is guaranteed work' m:'fu, have better parents, eat nagant' thread here ]

asciilifeform: mats: nooooo... link??

asciilifeform: jurov: makes sense, ty

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-01#1846495 << sadly i checked my postbox, still no invitation, lol ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: ( genuine, imho, if dimwitted, enemy of the reich )

asciilifeform: i wouldn't refuse iran

asciilifeform: having not yet read mpwp, i cannot say further

asciilifeform: large pool of bots could still fill mod queue with megatonne of liquishit.

asciilifeform: it only has no prob because current crop of spammers dumb as rock.

asciilifeform: i like the idea of eternal 0effort spam genocide tho.

asciilifeform: this is where i left it

asciilifeform: parse header and pass to correct eater.

asciilifeform: they have header, so why is this even megaproblem

asciilifeform: hm

asciilifeform: but pick 1 and live with it, why not

asciilifeform: then jpg or gohome

asciilifeform: png or gohome..

asciilifeform: uuencod!111

asciilifeform: i tried to write one of these

asciilifeform: aha, that'd rock

asciilifeform: i stole whole idea, when pushing jurov to do it, from mpex, lol

asciilifeform: well, it dispenses with the pretense of 'www login state' which imho is a win.

asciilifeform: cuz php, lol

asciilifeform: ( rather 'malbolge' exercise tho imho )

asciilifeform: i dun know of a rcf2440 eater & rsatron in php, tho certainly could be made

asciilifeform: unsurprisingly

asciilifeform: http://php.net/manual/en/function.gnupg-init.php << to gpg

asciilifeform: loox like callout to gpg

asciilifeform: whole reason i ended up baking the www end in py

asciilifeform: aa it - yes, old rfc2440 eater in py

asciilifeform: jurov's ? no idea, let's ask him

asciilifeform: ( phuctor is only exception i know of , but not general purpose )

asciilifeform: pretty sure nobody has any other gpg eater than callout to koch

asciilifeform: ( if i'm mistaken , jurov , plox to correct )

asciilifeform: seems like jurov had sad isp, naught to do with mltron per se

asciilifeform: if it worx for aeons without opening hood -- worth

asciilifeform: depends on how much maintenance it takes, neh

asciilifeform: ( recall, i was never able to use the email knob on jurov's box reliably at all, but instead use www intake hopper )

asciilifeform: hence 'if only'

asciilifeform: nah email dead

asciilifeform: ( if posting via email worked, would be heaven.. )

asciilifeform: i confess that i actually am fond of the ancient ml format. no stylesheets, no buttons, just 80col text.

asciilifeform: tests pgp detached sigs, attachments, all exists in mpwp already ?

asciilifeform: ye olde ml, took anyffing from l1, automagically, with jurov's clever script

asciilifeform: how would submit work in a mpwp ?

asciilifeform: theoretically yes

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: link preservation

asciilifeform: ( tho i expect that if i ever do, it will more than pay back for the lack of any to date, and take the form of cork-lined cellar )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-01#1846365 << the truly astonishing twist, is that asciilifeform not once yet had problem with swift tx. ☝︎

asciilifeform: in other lulz, the 'bernstein as nsa stooge' concept slowly percolates from the republic, https://sporaw.livejournal.com/538323.html

asciilifeform: lolwat

asciilifeform: laters.

asciilifeform: ( but no, at least over here we dun have 'enterprising'. we have repair crews that barely repair )

asciilifeform: not mined by usg, lol. by copper hunters..

asciilifeform: ( i can picture a near future when hv line rights of way are mined, say )

asciilifeform: the spread of copper bandits might change the equation tho.

asciilifeform: in some places they guard'em, but usually not (picture the cost), typically proprietor figures that monkeying near hv lines is self-punishing

asciilifeform: just stand in the near field. ( recall the folx with unplugged fluorescent lamps )

asciilifeform: for these, frying pan wound with magnet wire ~at ground level~, as tuned circuit, is actually enuff

asciilifeform: ordinary city lamps will suffice.

asciilifeform: and 'sapper errs once'

asciilifeform: i'd avoid ^ these , cable with multi-kV insulation aint cheap

asciilifeform: even on street light line. certainly enuff to run just about anything you might care to fit in the box.

asciilifeform: 24/7.

asciilifeform: can get tens of watts, this way.

asciilifeform: think back to the old-school noncontact ac voltmeter, same principle.

asciilifeform: ( use the high:low variant )

asciilifeform: for inductive coupler, 5-6 turns of insulated copper around $victim will suffice

asciilifeform: *use

asciilifeform: btw peltier, solar, piezo are not the only possib harvests. there is also inductive coupling from mains cabling ( street lights, etc , user yer imagination )

asciilifeform: ( don't put logger in the box per se, will miss good % of the flips, as e.g. sd card eats ridiculous current , which the harvester may or may not at a given time be able to supply )

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: from the intervals, can compute energy in.

asciilifeform: wire it up to a (battery-powered) universal remote thing, with the rx end indoors , where you can log.

asciilifeform: think of the harvester as an impedance matcher between the physical source of energy, and the consuming device.

asciilifeform: ltc3108 has an intake transformer . the demo board is sold in two variants, one where it has a low:high winding ( for peltiers, solar ) and one where high:low ( for piezos ). the latter is for noise/vibratory harvester -- e.g. tree branch in the wind.

asciilifeform: from this, in turn, can say, e.g., 'in the daytime, september, such-and-such latitude, can get J joules/sec , then after sundown, J', ... ' etc

asciilifeform: from this, can calculate practical energy availability.

asciilifeform: how to do : it charges cap ( the demo unit i have here from china, has 4 1F 2.2v caps ) and runs a boost converter from these, as well as lighting up 'power good' pin when 3.3v (from the latter) is available. so you put a test load on the 3.3v out ( say , 1W 100 ohm resistor ) and record events when 'power good' signal changes.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: want to record not simply voltage, but just how many milliwatts/hrs available from the harvester ( in field practice you cannot do much of anything with e.g. peltier without harvester )
