mircea_popescu: eh, notice the pieces are like 1 a year. notice also the "judge releases" etc.

asciilifeform: 'Firefighters rushed the bird to ZooAve in La Garita, also in Alajuela. The private center specializes in birds and is the current home of the world famous toucan named Grecia, also a victim of animal cruelty. The bird did not survive the loss of blood and the stress of the situation, ZooAve spokeswoman Mariann Ortega confirmed.' << prolly not the place for hunt aficionado...

mircea_popescu: a sec

asciilifeform: ever since mircea_popescu described it as a less-bony variation on frog

mircea_popescu: you'd shoot a tucan ?

mircea_popescu: not much game, lotta protected animals, it's not really a hutning spot. there's some, but nowhere near what you're prolly used to.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah and not like it's expensive. a case of "i'm buying the 25 cent a gallon item because i never heard of the 35 cent a galon"

mod6: i did see a lot of guys have failure to cycle/extract with their semi-auto .12gas during the hunting season.

mod6: aught to be practiced probably, because in field, that could be a killer.

mod6: i hate having to unjam a double feed on a hot rifle. anyone ever done that before?

mircea_popescu: part of the problem is that "jam" describes about as usefully a bevy of conditions as "sick"

gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: unfortunately not. Am here because I finally have a nice setup where I won't get kicked regularly. While I have been reading some FFA and DC I do not have anything running at the moment

mircea_popescu: must drink a cup in costa rica (or colombia, for that matter) first, to qualify.

mircea_popescu: god forbid alf tries anal, ends up unable to enjoy a blowjob.

asciilifeform: oh hm nao i seem to recall a loud and pompous ban on it in usa.

asciilifeform: nao i'm curious, would gabriel_laddel even ~feel~ a cup of coca tea ?

gabriel_laddel: Inventory arrived from CA a few days ago and am rebuilding M. mircea_popescu well you certainly know how to get my attention..

asciilifeform: consider, i have a http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-06#1766133 , and that's a (slow but working) rsa. really everyone using multi-MB-of-c-liquishit for whatever application, should be scratching his head and thinking about life ☝︎

asciilifeform: idea is a http server in <1000 ln of ada, approx. ☟︎

asciilifeform: idea is to make a submarine, it needs neither colours, nor gills.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: upstack, i recommend against 'extend OPTIONS to do names' or any similar; http is a fundamentally damaged-at-birth item , and really oughta be trimmed down to bare minimum , and kept alive for strictly so long as it cannot be avoided

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo this is a misstatement of what it does.

asciilifeform: why should somebody on a deadgoat modem be able to keep their socket open and move 0 data

asciilifeform: prolly deserves a formal experiment tho

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779461 << im affraid wget will have to be rewritten not killed ; possibly in a package with curl, but just as possibly not, and in any case this is next gosplan. ☝︎

asciilifeform: i dun think keepalive ( of the http variety , rather than tcp's ) comes into play at all when you aren't on a dialup modem or similar horror

mircea_popescu: and cuz if you do something like wget a whole site it actually helps both you and it.

phf: mircea_popescu: hey i flew moscow in the 90s, i'm trained that putting anything in luggage is playing a roulette

mircea_popescu: pricing is a complicated matter.

laplinker: mircea_popescu: its a "special" usb cable , DbC cable

asciilifeform: why does bios get a say, if it's active at reset vector ?!

phf: mircea_popescu: fedex or better yet a private shipping container, later will take couple of weeks though

asciilifeform: this'd be a pretty serious find.

asciilifeform: laplinker: and yes, what mircea_popescu said, write a post about this, i'd like to know what boxes this works on, how to talk to the chip, etc

mircea_popescu: laplinker got a blog or such ?

asciilifeform: laplinker: have you personally tried this ? and stepped through a standard consumer bios from reset to boot sector ?

phf: hey, i'm down for a free vacation, but i'm not convinced that the costs work out in our favour

asciilifeform: not with pogos. unless rack is largely empty, as a temporary measure

asciilifeform: they won't sit down in 1u even empty, just a bit too thick

mircea_popescu: laplinker make a pgp key if you don't have one, !!register and then you'll be able to self-voice once someone rates you

asciilifeform: phf: unless somebody's got a dedicated 3u travel crate, they prolly oughta move in the vendor crates

mircea_popescu: phf the plan here is : 2 boxes alf already has + 5ish for me, depending on what we manage to extract out of his menu a la carte + some pogos if we are satisfied these can be run up.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo got a clear anything in mind, or just hoping it'l work ? have a case somewhere you intend to cram them in so we can look before committing ?

asciilifeform: hey laplinker , get a gpg key regged ?

phf: ben_vulpes: republican matters is like reading leaves, i'm trying to figure out dimensions and who's sending what first. fwiw shipping a rack full (as opposed to ascii's original "2 machines") is going to run up the bill just on the oversized charges with airline

asciilifeform: oh hey, a sageprobes

asciilifeform: and i think i even have a z...whatwasit

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: are you on a speak&spell or wat

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: let's include several variants for completeness : 1) fedex , and chancing the VAT 2) somebody other than asciilifeform , who can go sooner, goes, delivers a box 3) BingoBoingo obtains box locally << Fedex to Montevideo is a certain VAT, and random chance of additional import duty.

phf: well, main question is we're shipping in a crate proper, rather than say, luggage bag, it will be opened. in fact we're playing lottery here with opening, inspecting and tampering, seal or no seal

asciilifeform: ( where asciilifeform described a full-bore crackpotteristic potential answer to the seal problem )

mircea_popescu: but i find it a great cranktopic to crank in mind. if for no other reason than because it's probably the ancient invention of seal that we owe technology to

a111: Logged on 2017-09-14 03:18 asciilifeform: clever, seems to use unique rf characteristics of a random wire hairball

mircea_popescu: actually, microfiber in glass may work as a modern seal. expensive as all fuck and not at all contemplated for this application

asciilifeform: i ~do~ have a spotwelder...

asciilifeform: not in the traditional plebeland sense ( i can set up a box such that with own hands i can see if it was opened. but what else is there ? )

asciilifeform: ( e.g. a 'wyse',

mircea_popescu: it will become a sort of reference item over time i suspect.

asciilifeform: ( will require a 'game of sokoban' , believe or not, in my torture room, to actually access the boxen. )

mircea_popescu: not even necessarily photo, a simple "here is what we have, COMPLETE specs ; and what we probably might want to ~EVER~ get". ☟︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform merits absolutely, giving that there is a whole raft of future reference looking at a spark point in the past.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform rather, can i get out of you a post with what there is ; and what there can be had reasonably (out of the very narrow set of reasonable gear anyway)\

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun keep a massive pile of ssd on my person, lol. but:

asciilifeform: the one with 4, i've outfitted with a proper 3ware card that knows how to raid5 ( the stock card in mobo is also 3ware but only knows how to raid10 )

mircea_popescu: phf you can also book with a day+ layover in panama on your way back. for one thing you get to see the place and despise panama for good reason rather than by hearsay ; for the other flight over here is ~1hr ~every hour. ☟︎☟︎

phf: well, sometimes if you have to travel with, like, farmers transporting their goats and such, it can be a reasonable price in return

danielpbarron: i just need to be in court whenever they say, don't know a date yet

danielpbarron: i'm about to move to oklahoma, waiting to hear back from lawyer regarding a reckless driving charge before that.

phf: fwiw, i could pick up ascii's stuff and go next week even, but the flights are ~~$1200, which i don't have a budget for at the moment.

mircea_popescu: have a cup of terribad coffee together.

asciilifeform: ( and then back, unless he wants to take a plane from dc )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let's include several variants for completeness : 1) fedex , and chancing the VAT 2) somebody other than asciilifeform , who can go sooner, goes, delivers a box 3) BingoBoingo obtains box locally

mircea_popescu: when we originally met, many moons ago, hanbot was very impressed with my casual "diplomatic car ? of course i've ridden around in one". in her girly days this had seemed like the crux of cool, you know, "wanna gimme a ticket ? send it to bucharest."

phf: special material that mp runs on that has a byproduct of robbing others of agency, see also superman

mircea_popescu is a man with a 90 day visa on a 25 days remaining temporary passport and without an id since... 2014 ? 2013 ?

asciilifeform: i dun have with what to pay 10% of a 100,000 imaginary 'value' say.

asciilifeform: i still see it as open question, whether they'll wink through a crate with N servers as 'personal effects', or steal the whole lot

asciilifeform: can squeeze in a BingoBoingoistan expedition shortly thereafter

xahlee: haven't had for a while. last time was some year ago, oh signing emacs shit

xahlee: haven't had a gpg key... will take me a while to readup again

asciilifeform: xahlee: there is a log, http://btcbase.org/log ( and elsewhere )

asciilifeform: xahlee: make a pgp key. register with deedbot,

asciilifeform: xahlee: got a pgp key ?

asciilifeform: holyfuq a d00d finally answered asciilifeform's invitations

mircea_popescu: (i'm aware everyone derps about "DANGERS", but seems to me very much a case of photographed box)

mircea_popescu: (all kidding aside, can and has bought dried coca leaves in a box. looks just like ordinary tea. five bux."

a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 15:50 trinque waits patiently for a gossipd atop which to redo hypertext

mircea_popescu: their currencies are about as stable wrt to the dollar as the dollar is stable wrt bitcoin. it is not physically possible to have anything like a meaningful price in spanish.

mircea_popescu: materials aren't even the whole point, they do the same thing with ideas. much like there hasn't existed a mind in kentucky that didn't live out of re-purposing stuff spewed forth from tv since at least 1960, similarily there hasn't existed a mind in uruguay whose production didn't entirely consist of revomit a la http://trilema.com/2017/in-case-you-were-wondering-where-all-the-worthless-nuland-drones-ended-up/

a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 15:39 asciilifeform: it is also possible that this is one of those orcistans where there is not such a thing as a scrapyard, errything gets picked up by scavengers and reused same day

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779424 << i entirely expect this. it helps to think of all of orclands, which is to say all asia, africa and south/central america as nations of scavengers with a thin layer of aspierational idiots approximately floating atop it. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 15:37 BingoBoingo: Still, they get an email along the lines of "I am scaling up my business here in Uruguay and need a bunch of 1U server boxes. What can you get as whole computers or empty cases?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779409 << this should prolly be standard preface of ada behaviour discussions ; ffa or non-ffa related. asciilifeform maybe you should add it as a comment you know ? at the top of the pile, "if anything's strange say @me in #trilema, please preface the saying with and-here's-my-grep-v" ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779400 << adds them as functions anyway, "for debugging" or somesuch. can't say it's necessarily a bad idea. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 17:19 mp_en_viaje: they're not DOING anything ; just trying to LOOK A CERTAIN WAY, with a minimum of expenditure.

mircea_popescu: there you will sit, in the not so distant future, trying to figure out what the fuck $item, $tool, $whatever does, with two options before you : a) read mov push pop etc ; b) read "It`d be advisable to will mainly because that maybe what it's actually."

a111: Logged on 2013-11-02 00:07 asciilifeform: when i read these pitches, i can't help but recall: "...Filtration System A Marvel to Behold! It Removes Eighty Percent of Human Solid Waste!"

mircea_popescu: hardwork, by now a legitimate pinoy word.

mircea_popescu: anges, computers can do well whatever you decide and receive.
