a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 16:20 phf: re upstack, there's been a resurgence of sorts of gopher protocol, various hipsters spinning up personal websites, etc. whether the resurgence was shortlived or i'm just late to the game, but there's already a community of wreckers (one of them groups is coming from this federated twitter platform, mastodon) discussing all the various ways that they want to "improve" gopher, tls, utf-8, markdown renderer, "minimal subset of html", etc. but at the same
asciilifeform: this, i think, is a first
MDude: Anyway, I think there were a few things I was thinking of for a bit, one of them being gopher://vernunftzentrum.de/0/ckeen/ciy-manifesto.txt .
MDude: Hey, I'm a police offic-*rining from my concealed earpiece:"SHIT, DAMNIT, HE'S TRYING TO TRICK YOU."*
MDude: Now to remember the thing I was going to say roughly five seconds before joining the channel.
asciilifeform: reminds me, i was in a train station, and everywhere there were billboards pushing 'milk of the future'(tm)(r), made --no, not from soy even -- but recycled peas.
asciilifeform: i'm almost surprised there is any gcc left in'ere
asciilifeform: ( exactly how -- i did not yet unearth )
asciilifeform: i.e. 'fuckyou terrorist, seems you ain't running ntp'
ben_vulpes: oh i know, still amazed
asciilifeform: hey this is 1st time i gentooated a box with no batteried clocks
gabriel_laddel: wanted to know how ready-for-anything people are making electronics nowdays, seeing as I know literally nothing about hardware. ben_vulpes hola & idk, never soldered anything before so should be fun
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: i gotta ask, what possessed you to do it with box switched on
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: lvds i/o typically dun have antistatic diodes
gabriel_laddel: managed to kill a x220 circuit board by swapping the screen to another, identical while machine was running. is this the sort of thing to 'fry' circuitry, and as a general rule I suppose no life fire electronics around CPUs?
asciilifeform: something ran out. at any rate i did not expect to see him return to same heathenpit
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagine the way that works is "about one third of the class of phds hanging about mass campuses".
mircea_popescu: actually, fuck that, i have to transalte it, willy nilly.
mircea_popescu: sadly i'm too lazy to translate http://trilema.com/2010/familia-traditionala-versus-harem-studiu-comparativ/ ; but the comments are pretty riotous. sampler : "in closing, permit me to inform you that i've taken a shit into one of those cups you drink jeebus blood from, in some church somewhere, as well as washed my cock post-ejaculation in one of those water holders somewhere in some other church. but i'm not going to mention
asciilifeform: and of course 'Big life change ahead: in March, I, Jess, and our two cats will be renting out our London flat and moving to California’s San Francisco Bay Area for two years!'
mircea_popescu: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/WX6kWkAKsESoD4yrf/misery-pits << o look who came back from the dead, also. chick famous for "i'll sign prenup to have all my kids paternity-checked because i'm just too much of a cum dumpster to know otherwise" / being the ~only sexually active female in this coven of "polyamory", absent since the last time we heard of this whole thing.
asciilifeform: 'EDIT 2017-10-28: DO NOT DO THIS! Dropbox have changed their API, and Netmemo has failed to update to use the new one. I emailed the developer and got no response. Don’t use Netmemo Plus. I want a button on my Android phone that drops voice notes into my GTD inbox.'
mircea_popescu: i think they call this research.
mircea_popescu: supposedly these are rare. i imagine for the sort of dweebs that spew all this maculature they would be.
mircea_popescu: recruited as a “unicorn” by a Neurologist at a hospital in town. She abandoned me and our middle child who has Autism. She took the youngest and oldest boy and they are considered now Mitch’s children. So, excuse me if I can’t be open minded enough to understand this. I don’t. It hurts incredibly bad and I don’t understand how a doctor, with a wife and six children, could steal my wife and try to take my children."
mircea_popescu: oh, oh, look, there's even a bit of mittelamerica in there! "I came home from my tour in the US Army in the Middle East. I have only been back two months. My wife and I have three children. We have been married for ten years. I came back and Sarah had changed. Didn’t want anything to do with me. This is typical for returning Veterans so I figured it would just take time. Fast forward to now, I just discovered, she has been
mircea_popescu: basically this wikipedian wankster thing seems to be a major-ish neet subculture. evidently under the whole chems thing, or guns, or "baptist"ism / most other first echelon things. but perhaps large enough to make 2nd tier, with post-punk, petaism, and so forth. a sort of mirror-knitting subculture, i guess.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i found this meaning out from mircea_popescu , believe or not. prior to that knew only from $d00d's crackpottery with 'future markets' (itself stolen from old man admiral poindexter iirc )
mircea_popescu: i thought futa is how you say "cartoon transsexual"
mircea_popescu: "Robin Hanson is right that no-one wants to speak up for the low-status males for fear of being grouped with them. I for one feel compelled to make clear from the outset that I’m a *terribly* high status male who is *overwhelmed* with interest from women, and am only speaking up for those less fortunate than me out of the purest generosity of spirit" << this guy : https://mindsarentmagic.org/
mircea_popescu: i don't envy any man the miserable but required portions of his job.
asciilifeform: the 1 other httpsism i can think of that isn't escapable is www sites of iron-sellers. though for this one could use a dedicated toilet.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 21:04 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793241 << i've been living for half a year now simply rejecting all websites what are https-only and implement idiotic "modern" ciphers. items such as github etc no longer load for me, and i tell you i don't particularly weep the demise of a bunch of retarded pantsuitsites.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 19:37 asciilifeform: i did not say 'broken'. but raw - yes.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 19:12 trinque: I admittedly *don't* use bash in battlefield, but privately on the workbench
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793274 << i use it, principally to manage curl. ☝︎
trinque: s'why I mention busybox later, might be only a handful of packages that get us to booted in userland
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 19:04 asciilifeform: i can see an argument for retaining an ability to emulate a sslistic client, for http-fetching heathenware when absolutely must . but beyond this -- it Must Die

a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 18:59 asciilifeform: unrelatedly, trinque , ever looked into purging sslism from gentoo ? in particular the existence of /etc/ca-certificates.conf and its contents as a ~mandatory package, i find quite irritating
mircea_popescu: i fully expect, once it comes to geolocated rape and pillage, to hear a lot of "you're illegal!!11". just like before.
ben_vulpes: "i mean didja ever read about how the khans army could kill entire cities, and the populations would stand in the fields weeping and waiting their turn?"
mircea_popescu: ution", ready-arm-fire and there's a fresh set of 80 or so bodies, teh crowd will do something other than what it does when "omg there's a shooting". like i dunno, charge the firing squad with bare hands or other "why didn't the jews burn down auschwitz mommy ?"
mircea_popescu: trinque> all anyone does today is larp, from chiraq to palestine << word. and the larp that they do is always and very amusingly a sort of first-person-cool. i was explaining a coupla days ago the mechanics of "pantsuit uprising" and how firing a line would send the whole field of 'em packing to deeply disbelieving girly. she honestly thought that if i march a 100 strong regiment to the sider of a 100`000 strong "color revol
trinque: I came in more or less ideologically amenable, and yet said "oh god, not a bunch of redpillers" and left, the first encounter.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i thought one was supposed to lose'em while fishing!11
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you've never lost a gun either i imagine
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: quite relatedly, i had to calm a panicking millenial down recently "oh give over; the left is more interested in beating up on the right and vice versa than either are in the online shenanigans of a few crackpot bitcoin holders"
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 20:12 mircea_popescu: this is such a direct equivalent of yesterday's ballistic-gellatin wank it's starting to draw out a profile (for what i previously called the wikitard, but i guess lesswrong is just a particularily thick cloud of them) : asocial beta male that has managed to move the conceptual universe of cartoons into "real life" such as they live it.
mircea_popescu: seinfeld's superman comics and cereal eating habits meet the yudkowski "oh, on the basis of the behaviours of the three goats we have back at camp, women like dweebs" and the "lalala i can't hear you, us army bb gun is very efficient when fired at gelatin 5 feet away and the fact that you'll never get that close nor ever have to fight large blobs irl IS NOT IN MY FIELD OF VISION"

mircea_popescu: or perhaps we get the monumental lulz of http://trilema.com/2012/law-enforcement-never-fails-to-unintentionally-entertain/ with its "1. I am a Special Agent (“SA”) of the United States Secret Service (“USSS”), and have been so employed for approximately three and one half years. In my experience totallies!"
mircea_popescu: n a stalemate over it for weeks, and the whole time the patient was tearfully begging the doctor to release her. I cannot tell you how much willpower it took not to sneak into the patient’s room and yell at her “JUST AGREE TO GO TO THE REHAB AND THEN DON’T DO IT, YOU IDIOT”."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh, what, walk me throiugh this. let's use lesswrong codex as a basis. so : 1. you are in the hospital for "maybe wanting to kill yourself", after having made ill advised 1970s comments to 2010s paki diversity-"doctor" ; 2. "I remember working with a doctor who wanted to discharge his patient to some kind of outpatient drug rehab. The patient refused to go, so the doctor wouldn’t discharge her, and they were i
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: [insert traditional a:'i dun have a power source outside of usa reich' m:'but why not learn to eat sunlight and butterflies' thread here]
asciilifeform: it is quite impossible to learn anything nontrivial if labouring under ' i am a great master and who needs this book-larnin rubbish'
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 17:01 asciilifeform: ave1: we had just the other day a thread re 'gnat pro'. it's interesting, in principle, but i sure as fucking daylight ain't ever signing nonredistribution oaths for a compiler
asciilifeform: i did not say 'broken'. but raw - yes. ☟︎
trinque: young man says "I will fuck every woman alive" and this doesn't mean he's broken
asciilifeform: at any rate such probabilities and plausibilities only even in theory matter when a d00d walks in and 'hey i am such greatness'. if walks in with pill for rsa or whichever -- dun have to ask anyone to believe anyffin. or for that matter to walk in at a..
mircea_popescu: who the fuck used feculent in a sentence! i was just explaining it yest!
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 16:32 ave1: asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793119, with this script http://ave1.org/2018/building-gnat-on-musl-now-with-a-signature/ it is possible to build a cross compiler for aarch64, I will try to use this cross-compiler to then create a native compiler.
asciilifeform: possibly phf knows who was responsible for this. i'd like for the name to enter the logs.
asciilifeform: and yes i'm aware that it can be fixed by setting an evir variable. but WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793180 << i guess, yeah. kinda lotta work for little payoff though, more of stand-up comedy fare ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( or maybe i dreamed this. )
trinque: I admittedly *don't* use bash in battlefield, but privately on the workbench ☟︎
asciilifeform: imho the long-term answer is '3rd way' , i.e. all the crud i wrote in bash, python, etc over the years really oughta be in the hypothetical little-lisp-in-ada from old thread. ☟︎
trinque: the embedded constraint would, I'd wager, place a constraint on amount of shitgnomaticism to creep in.
asciilifeform: i find busybox to be useful on ancient routers , pogo , & similar , but quite unusable as a unixutils substitute on actual workstation
trinque: and we have to eat all of portage, or we'll be in the position I was in when I handed current cuntoo script to diana_coman
trinque: but, if already saying we'll be curating ebuilds I don't see much of a point of the latter
asciilifeform: i.e. sslism is treated as 'special' and 'precious' evidently in >1 place
asciilifeform: i can see an argument for retaining an ability to emulate a sslistic client, for http-fetching heathenware when absolutely must . but beyond this -- it Must Die ☟︎
trinque is on a box currently that's musl + libressl, but I don't know that it's much better
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, trinque , ever looked into purging sslism from gentoo ? in particular the existence of /etc/ca-certificates.conf and its contents as a ~mandatory package, i find quite irritating ☟︎
ben_vulpes: today's marvelous self-licking ice-cream-cone: surgeon general suggests that everyone near to folks at risk for overdosing on fentanyl and friends carry naxalone. i for one can't wait to see what the new equilibrium intake rate is without mortality risk looming.
ave1: yes I was! and no nothing arrived yet...
ave1: aha, I was wondering weather you noticed some led blinking, but log would do it
asciilifeform: ave1: we had just the other day a thread re 'gnat pro'. it's interesting, in principle, but i sure as fucking daylight ain't ever signing nonredistribution oaths for a compiler ☟︎
asciilifeform: or do i misunderstand the q
ave1: asciilifeform, I can only find gnats for ubuntu/debian and alpine linux. Also GNAT pro seems to support arm64.
asciilifeform: ave1: i did one for mips ( never properly tested tho ) a few yrs back
ave1: asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793119, with this script http://ave1.org/2018/building-gnat-on-musl-now-with-a-signature/ it is possible to build a cross compiler for aarch64, I will try to use this cross-compiler to then create a native compiler. ☝︎☟︎
trinque: (and obviously, ~I do not use the trb wallet~)
lobbes: Incidentally, anyone remember the term "freedom fighter"? I.e. "terrorist that is aligned with the Empire". Almost never heard in Incan media anymore it seems
mircea_popescu: ah i guess that didn't get logged. here :
lobbes: Archive PSA: Semi-automatic archiving has resumed via my "manual" pulling of the crank at irregular intervals as a temporary "stop gap" solution. Fully automatic archiving to resume once I plug my security holes and build a sane parser for urls
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: i don't see how it's avi
asciilifeform: potentially interesting, i did not to date consider it. dun forget tho that they get ~infinite pile of printolade from lockheed, boeing, et al.
asciilifeform: i made one for mips in 2016, it was nasty
asciilifeform: i.e. 32b.
mircea_popescu: now, it has a whole pile of "intel me" bs (did i mention - xilinx ?) but nevertheless
asciilifeform: i.e. nuffin to run.
mircea_popescu: oh, wait, wait. by being this wikitard style of participative democratic cow. i forgot.
mircea_popescu: he reads to me like someone on antipsychotic medication. maybe at some point in his youth he was intelligent, i guess, but by now i'd much rather listen to the barristas. at least they giggle.
mircea_popescu: i managed to get to point X of his ENDLESS "i can tolerate anything except the outgroup" "recommended article", after going through another two or three items placed higher on his list of self-recommendations ; but eventually my patience was exhausted.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-31 16:40 mircea_popescu: i would really like a list of "all personal blogs older than a decade" right about now.
