phf: a low hanging fruit
that still satisfies ascii's requirements of 50000 package dependencies would be
to build a linux substrate with a sane .config and userspace, which has all
the necessary components
to host pkgsrc
phf: pkgsrc is another option, besides ebuild.
they have some equivalent of use flags. i used it
to run a unix stack on mac os x (fvwm, firefox, x11 emacs, etc.)
trinque: but without a market we have no fucking clue what
the cost of
this work is
trinque: because you're right, somebody doing a drive-by on nginx for a week is more harm
than good
trinque: "gittip" or
things in ideological proximity
trinque: one
thing
that clearly would not work is
this sort of decentralized micro-payments bullshit I've heard proposed before
trinque: maybe anton_osika wants an honest way
to earn back his 3 BTC, lol
trinque: haha! well I know how
to write a contract
trinque: anyhow, perhaps someone will offer
to sell his
time maintaining something
through
the deedbot- buy/sell board I'm hacking on at
the moment
☟︎ trinque: can't compare
the cost of edible food with
the
turd
trinque: yes,
though I do continue
to wonder how it'd do with an actual *market*
trinque: and
then if nobody buys it, doesn't get done
trinque: if
that's
the cost, a contract
to do
the work would have
to reflect it
trinque: does
this require a musl patch? does
this ...
trinque: and I don't see
this working for a vast number of packages
trinque: could start with maintenance of
the "ebuild" and nothing further; it really depends on
the revenue
trinque: or whatever
the conditions may be
trinque: there's some market within which
to purchase and
trade
this company's
time
trinque: that a company exists which sells contracts
to maintain packages on a certain distro
trinque: would
take a longer interval of pondering
to dream up a contract
that'd work
trinque: I would agree it makes little sense
to "maintain" a package for only a short duration contract
trinque: how else do you get someone
to spend all
their
time on something
than paying
them?
trinque: asciilifeform: meaning how do you price
that guy's hour vs
this guy's, or something else?
trinque: you could sell options.. perhaps someone wants
to know he can get his package into
the 3rd quarter release when it comes around, but his release date might slip
trinque: heh, starts
to look sort of like
the blocksize
thing and
transaction fees
trinque: perhaps you could do a bidding system whereby packages are bid into
the next release
trinque: I'd pay a guy like
the gentleman
that used
to package Slackware a reasonable fee per release
trinque: shame
that
this "linux distro" work is expected
to be free
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Yeah,
the proto-form of
their "less unofficial" distro
trinque: thestringpuller: with a little more meth in
the WoT we might get
that #b-a distro done!
assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 00:59:09; mircea_popescu:
the real question is why
the fuck would she want
to go back.
thestringpuller: trinque: cause he's elusive as fuck. I'd have
to
track him down between his meth binges in New York.
trinque: thestringpuller: why isn't
this guy here?
shinohai: Maybe if we get enough upvotes guise,
the Judge will feel remorse and overturn
the sentence!
trinque: shinohai: obama will surely pardon ulbricht after enough awareness is raised by
these freedom fighters.

BingoBoingo: "Use a bag
to
travel
that has never been

the hospital and carry proof
that you are a physician."
BingoBoingo: "A 79-year-old female presented
to
the emergency department (ED) from home with acute mental status changes over a period of one hour. Family reported
this
to be in
the midst of bowel prep for a routine colonoscopy
that was
to
take place
the following day."
trinque: given
they left
the spare drives, I doubt
they even knew what it was
BingoBoingo: Also
trinque Did
the server
thief ever
turn
the box on?
BingoBoingo: lol
trinque I've never
tried
to find
the source for msot of
these screencaps
ascii_field: mats: aha.
these are also exposed in libgcrypt.
mats: fun fact: gpg's serialization layer uses s-expressions rather
than asn.1 and as a result, despite being hand-rolled in C,
there doesn't appear
to be any memory corruption in canonical mode
☟︎ gernika: ascii_field: strange
to hear - as my memory of my experience reading it sometime in junior high school was
that of complete enthrallment. But
then again - who is a 13 year old
to judge?
ascii_field: gernika:
that was
the problem.
the book helped
to bury him.
FullFlaps: just wanted
to say you might be missing an 's' in your last qntra piece
title
FullFlaps: ohai, and
ty BingoBoingo, davout here
gernika: ascii_field: Ah. 1984 had been out for almost 10 years by
that point. Perhaps it had not yet had an impact either.
ascii_field: gernika: a good bit of his non-fictional writing was not yet published
then.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 04:22:30; *: asciilifeform just popped a crate with ~2kg of orwell. before anyone asks, no, nothing like even 20% of his output is on
the net. in
the 1968 four-volume set,
there is perhaps 90% of it.

phf: i suppose one half of b-a should start on a linux distro and
the other work on cl-emacs naggum always wanted *ducks*
