pete_dushenski: totally. the baby porsche panamera e-whachamathing is gunning right for it.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275555 << iirc this is not even the first time ! ☝︎
asciilifeform: oh hey if it isn't the ddos bot
mod6: thanks for writing 'v' asciilifeform; i really love this thing.
asciilifeform: i'd enjoy reading mircea_popescu's fortran or focal whatever 'v' too, even.
mod6: i wanted to just to ensure that I understand everything going on in there. it's a decent exercise programatically, but I'm not much of a python guy.
BingoBoingo: AH, apparently there are projector peripherals for TI-92 and others
asciilifeform: THIS is why i wanted folks to re-write it
mod6: i wanna see if I can add a mouse-over label or something to each node to whom has signed each vpatch. which I think, with adding a custom attribute or something, I can do.
asciilifeform takes off hat to mod6, whose 'v' is light-years ahead of the old dusty original.
mod6: cool, thx. once i get it polished up a bit, yeah, will link it.
asciilifeform: and belongs on therealbitcoin.org imho.
asciilifeform: mod6: very spiffy though
mod6: <+asciilifeform> but they prolly ought to be blue/linkified << I'll see what I can do about this. It's at the node level. So the entire node itself is linkified. I'm just getting into all the things you can do with this Graph::Easy thing.
asciilifeform: my grandfather had a tv (one of the early ru tv sets) that came with a gigantic flask you would fill with water and affix to the screen

BingoBoingo: I have to admit I kinda want to put some games on it and spend a day riding the Metro Link in St Louis
asciilifeform lolz at the external display port on the '92
asciilifeform: they are ~exactly~ the same but for the keyboard, iirc.

BingoBoingo: Works like my 89 did to my best memory, green diamond
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: hah, apparently contrast adjust is different on this than 89
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> if yours is a plain 92, you can make (theoretically) rom cartridges. << /me theoretically would kind of like to port this software to "Mac Classic" which is too slow to be useful as B&W Mac
asciilifeform: no boy cheated on his exams with this one.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Mine has a pretty solid backplate, is the backplate switch in the "locked" position?
asciilifeform never had the 92 before
asciilifeform: i am disappointed in the bizarre physical design of that
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the backplate is a little wobbly
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> givin' out bytez for PHREE!!!! << But they offer PHREE humiliation to the public

assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 22:58:21; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275427 << this is a good chunk of what i meant above about "the general public". fuck them, srsly, i should spend as much as a byte's bandwidth to provide derps things so what, derplife doesn't suck so bad ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275572 << i can see this perspective. but what i can't see is why operate qntra, trilema, phuctor, etc. if this. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> he was trotted out during a commentary broadcast re: the 2004 election << 2004 during that Senate primary East Saint was covered in signs for the "heritage" anglo candiate for that seat. Literally every boarded up window had a sign. Obama still won.

asciilifeform: he was trotted out during a commentary broadcast re: the 2004 election ☟︎

trinque: what in the fuck is emerging mobile code
ben_vulpes: client security wants to know if we do risk analysis on "emerging mobile code"
mod6: i dunno, gotta think on it a bit on how that would look -- might just be a mouse-over or "alt" type of attribute.
mod6: i think there is also some sort of mechanical way I can walk through my validated seals hash and perhaps somehow label the node who whom has signed.
mod6: asciilifeform: ok, I've the the links part figured out: http://thebitcoin.foundation/misc/vpatch-nodes.html ☟︎

ben_vulpes: What’s puzzling Maxine is why hashslingrz’s payments to Darklinear are being kept hidden when they don’t have to be. Fiber’s a legitimate company expense, bandwidth needs at hashslingrz more than justify it, even the IRS seems to be happy. And yet, just as with hwgaahwgh.com, the dollar amounts are way too big, and somebody’s putting up password protection out of all proportion.
ben_vulpes: “lit” buildings, mapping it, helping clients put together customized private networks.
ben_vulpes: Who in their right mind, you wonder, would go into fiber these days, given the huge decline in new installation since last year? Well, back during the tech bubble, it seems so much cabling was put in that now miles of existing fiber are just sitting there what they call “dark,” and the result is that outfits like Darklinear have come swooping down on the carcass of the business, scouting out overinstalled, unused fiber in otherwise
ben_vulpes: Among the mystery vendors discovered by the resourceful Eric Outfield down in the encrypted files of hashslingrz is a fiber brokerage called Darklinear Solutions.
ben_vulpes is reading the 2013 pynchon—pretty lulzy lambasting of the dotcom shitshow + the idiocy of nyc immediately before the jetfuelcantmeltsteelbeams incident
