ben_vulpes: does archive.is not have a button for "no seriously re-archive right now"?
shinohai: !~later tell danielpbarron Please to ping me when you are able to do a simple Eulora trade, thanks!
deedbot: BingoBoingo updated rating of pete_dushenski from 3 to 1 << Canadian, shifted from TMSR to the periphery of a peripheral Pantsuit land
BingoBoingo: !!rate pete_dushenski 1 Canadian, shifted from TMSR to the periphery of a peripheral Pantsuit land
deedbot: diana_coman rated BingoBoingo 3 << Qntra and Pizarro ISP; moved to Uruguay for TMSR and learnt a LOT in the process; best hired hands I saw at work around in a long while
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I just sent Ben_Vulpes a bunch of pics for his blogging. It is a 1U supermicro. Drive are in 4 front mount hot-swap trays. The cover on the case has two spring type latches that release when depressed and the cover comes off.
asciilifeform: there is a way, but needs a jtagtron.
mircea_popescu: is there some way to find out if they were diddled first ? if we're paying a coupla grand for usg to diddle our fgs, might as well get a blog post out of it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: couldja post a photo of the fg crate and contents ?
mircea_popescu: as it stands i dun really know what's a concern
asciilifeform: ( deliberately not doable from the comp , the serial port is a 1way thing, recall )
asciilifeform: if diddled fw is a concern, they gotta be re-fw'd, by hand, via the fw-filling connector
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so what's the situation there, it's like... a box, screw-on lid ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe it's not apparent, let's reiterate. minigame is a multi-million dollar corp, trusted by people with multi-million dollars worth of virtual equipment. you understand me ? when it says 8k btc equity that means more money than dimon got.
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, you had a pile of lose fgs. but you didn't even box up the one box you had pretty much pre-sold ? why not ?
a111: Logged on 2018-03-05 05:41 mircea_popescu: well, this is a fundamental, at least to me, service pizarro is offering, GENUINE raid. ie, raid installed by republican hands out of genuine components etc.
mircea_popescu: so instead of buying the originally discussed sealed box http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-05#1786922 and all that, what i get is ad-hoc aglomeration of parts. some of which were even out of custody for a weekend ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-26 17:38 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes now getting back to this deal of ours. 0.345773172 for a year of box as detailed ( http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-24#1785941 ) + 0.014 for one month of rack + ??? for a pair fgs
mircea_popescu: that sounds like a well made client...
trinque: and sure, if there's a command line interface to the thing, it ought to call your sane API for V operations and wrap it in all the printing and parsing.
trinque will read more closely and try it out after a sleep, but that's the first thing that jumped out.
trinque: dunno why you're printing what ought to be returned as a datastructure.
esthlos: excellent, happy to be a test subject
hanbot: speaking of which, i'll have a genesis of mp-wp up this coming week. ☟︎
esthlos: Hi all, I developed a vtron, writeup here: http://www.esthlos.com/posts/2018/03/17.html . I know I need a comments mechanism: next project is to get mp-wp working
mircea_popescu: largely in the "Gray Eaglecoin," the "BitColumbiana," the "Branch Mintcoin," the "BitMaria Janecoin," the "Coinverse," the "Root-Hog-or- Die Coin," the "Samson Coins Delilah," the "BiTreasure BiTrove," the "Golcoinda," the "Co InSultana," the "Buttmerang," the "Great Republicoin," the "Grand Mogulbit," andfifty other "chains" that had never been molested by a developer or scratched with peer review"
mircea_popescu: aaand in today;s random trilemalulz, "Meantime the camp was filling up with people, and there was a constantly growing excitement about our Humboldt altcoin. We fell victims to the epidemic and strained every nerve to acquire more "coins." We prospected and took up new chains, put "notices" on them and gave them grandiloquent names. We traded some of our "coins" for "coins" in other people's chains. In a little while we owned
lobbes: ben_vulpes no idea. Though I apparently got a pm from "live_cadaver" with similar spam message
mircea_popescu: so i'm doing a little bit of maintenance, and will be deleting http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/lenat-leaks/ later today
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/must-suck-to-be-one-of-you-average-guy-with-a-great-sense-of-humor-losers-seriously-now/ << Trilema - Must suck to be one of you "average guy with a great sense of humor" losers, seriously now.
mircea_popescu: some actuarial data can't hurt. us most dangerous place to cross a bridge by far, both overal and per capial.
BingoBoingo: Girlie architect/engineer lead/designed the project. FIU oversaw the project. Has a big program on this type of bridge construction they SWEAR was not involved in this particular bridge. So many places for shoes to drop.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Bridge had a concrete CEILING for aesthetics, mentioned in the Qntra. There's also a bunch of process wank in the media discussions so far. Right now it's a wait for the hen to stumble sorta deal. Pantsuits get leaky in the blame passing game.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: generally speaking in modern en. 'cadaver' is a 'prepared' corpse, i.e. for anatomical study...
mircea_popescu: executive summary : a) don't buy any books from o'brien ; b) fuck your mother, today. preferably tie her up and rough her up after you're done.
mircea_popescu: first, they buy o'brien's book on revolution ; then they get room 101 ie http://trilema.com/2015/one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest/#selection-155.0-155.34 ; thjen they get released so they can meet some chick and go "i betrayed you" as if it's normalcy now ; and hang about and act as if they were people a little bit. and by the time everyone at chestnut cafe believes the philosophical zombie is actually what people are... well..
asciilifeform: subj best known as a provocateur/stoolie, rather than 'top' anyffing else, tho
mircea_popescu: a golden future for the pantsuit dreamstate.
mircea_popescu: drugging the top 20% of each male litter since the 80s, and now also suiciding the one in a million that somehow still gets through.
mircea_popescu: i anticipate a whole lotta more bridges coming down in time./
BingoBoingo: Baking a Mosul update now. I am going to have to start follow up rotation.
mircea_popescu: the yahoos over at state fell so low, the days of condolezza rice look like a bridge too far, now. woman ate with her feet.
mircea_popescu: why should people forget the us army doesn't exist and was fucked in the ass by towelheads with a slight russian dusting over at mosul.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-16 10:31 mircea_popescu: if anyone still has a tardstalk acct, plox to drop a msg to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=193932 pointing out to him that the reason for the influx is very much http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-11#1787563 ; and should they implement the idiocy too they'll lose the marketshare too.

mircea_popescu: the process of neurotransmitter exchange DOES produce undesirable leftovers. receptors need time to re-metabolize the leftovers of a shot, and bring both the receptor and the things signalling into it to optimal potential.

mircea_popescu: but before i go, let it be said that burn victim with intact lungs is, by virtue of that ALONE, clever in the animal sense. no two ways about it, it's a definitive and absolute exam, like a few others.
mircea_popescu shall bbl in a few.
asciilifeform: ^ iirc he had a detailed description.
asciilifeform had a chum who joined... masons. reported: 'erryone 90+ y.o. but me'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect it's a throne that's ben sat on for the sitting long enough.
mircea_popescu: then again, i personally went to boston area bdsm munch. WITH chet. it consisted of a dozen dorks in a food court, trying to not step over each other while courting the single solitary young female, which was neither hot nor even remotely interesting.
asciilifeform: the other nitpick, as i understand 'mensa' was (is?) moar of an opium den, place where folx would sit around playing games, than a political action thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i visited a few of them. encountered no quality fuckables, in fact, encountered a rehash of organizatia poetilor din judetul caras-severin.
mircea_popescu: (which, incidentally, is why socialism is dream-like, ie what happens when mind goes to sleep. they very much http://trilema.com/2018/lets-read-together-uncle-al-schwartz-hexadecimal-dependency/#footnote_1_78266 : "we have no legitimacy and no possibility of ever being legitimate" "but if we were based on a representative mandate we'd have such possibility" "yes but we don't have it" "but if we claimed groups support us it'd
asciilifeform: according to al, 'mensa' was actually entertaining, and iirc even a reliable source of quality fuckables. but asciilifeform has no direct knowledge of subj, 'за что купил за то продаю' etc.
mircea_popescu: https://www.ocregister.com/2012/09/02/high-iq-society-mensa-uses-hands-on-game-to-show-wealth-disparities/ << in other lulz. turns out that in pantsuit socialism, the smart pioneers are a sub to the mass pioneer's organisation.
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm not even right re management. "Coercive culture-crushing Christian missionaries squawking mainline and fringe persuasions endowed Koreans with a Western legacy of greed, plunder, political larceny, and Official truth." etc.
asciilifeform recalls most recent contact with al, a reply re 2013 snsa prospectus, featuring phrase 'you will be either bought or killed by usg' iirc

lobbes: "Contrary to medical opinion, a patent absolutely sloshed on morphine and diazepine tranquilizers can indeed work up sufficient rage to vociferously complain, bellow actually, about the sound and feeling of cancellous bone being crushed inside his skull as a bored nurse thrashes a lead-weighted truncheon about the insides his sinuses. She knew there was an exit to my throat back there somewhere, it was in the anatomy books. If she could not find it
ben_vulpes: was the thrust of your comment that the net change column should see a value of 11? decimals aside i don't understand what you were driving at with that comment. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and i've quite enjoyed reading al schwartz. in peristaltic news, wikipedia thinks there's a dozen al schwartzes out there, NONE of which this one, and none of which worth any kind of mention.
asciilifeform pulls a 80G ( circa 2001 ) out of the depths of the depths -- and - as expected - no 'smart'
asciilifeform: ( a la http://qntra.net/2015/02/your-disk-controller-and-you but 'before it was cool'(tm) )
asciilifeform: but it was a drive where i , uh, molested, the firmware
diana_coman: trinque, sounds good; and I'm certainly interested in a recipe for transitioning a classical gentoo as well since I can quite see I'll need it anyway
ben_vulpes: 'tis more or less what i had, but inapplicable to a bag of parts. the three new-in-box drives plus the expediter's fee plus a honking pile of taxesnfees-that-aren't-IVA was the bulk of the bill.
asciilifeform: ( if not a tenaculum )
asciilifeform: i'm half convinces that ~every d00d, whether admits or not, owns at least a speculum
a111: Logged on 2018-03-14 04:50 mircea_popescu: incidentally, i'm such a fan of crescent wrenches i actually keep them around as art objects / use them idly while walking around the house as sceptres, gesture with them and so forth.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's not "a chance", it's a virtual guarantee. were you there and pissed they'd have pushed you though apologetically.
ben_vulpes: now see that's a job for vice grips
ben_vulpes: they've always been my "wrong tool for every job"; i'd rather have a set of deep sockets in pretty much every situation. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i've had it for a year, afaik never used yet for anything in the vein of its intended utilities.

mircea_popescu: "A few weeks later, one of the Smithfield rebels was caught in Eugene trying to buy supplies, and arrested and lodged in a jailhouse. Word spread quickly, and a lynch mob soon had assembled to lay siege to the jailhouse. But the rebel, who had hidden a tiny penknife somewhere on his person, put up such a ferocious fight that vigilante justice was delayed long enough for the sheriff to arrive with a posse, and soon the mob was
trinque: if she doesn't want to wait, eventually there will be a way to transition a classical gentoo box forthcoming, since I'll be doing it to my own.
trinque: she was building the thing evaluating it for her own use. still can, but will need a revision from me, which I'm working on.
trinque: at any rate, this needs a longer look. we don't need to be going "oh upstream broke us" again in a month. meanwhile I don't want to hold anyone up setting up a pizarro box.

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787759 <-- a-ha, mystery solved! Trilema has a <div class="post"> child to <span id="shash-...">, so that portion of the script selects it when the child is not a text node (the nodeType==3 bit). thetarpit DOM tree is flatter and doesn't wrap the content in this additional div.

asciilifeform: ( i'd even dare to rule out the 'shown the instruments' hypothesis, given as their crypto per se was a joke from day1. but asciilifeform was interested in re the voice codec. turns out -- open problem, to this day. )
