mircea_popescu: missoury dunno even what chic is, while chicago had it long ago!
mircea_popescu: as you don't do a lot of numbers churning, it might be tghe perfect item for you. and if not, well, we see.
mircea_popescu: the republic's de facto moving towards hardware specialization, there's on one hand the very heavy cpu machines (of which sha miners are a subset, phuctor is another, and so on), and then the sort of thing like this, typified by a trb node machine.
mircea_popescu: douchebag it's basically a very fast i/o low cpu power box.
mircea_popescu: lobbes on the positive side, this is how they were born in the first place, by people thinking about it. no revelation under the sun.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, your page is stale. it was already fixed in the latest version!
mircea_popescu: lobbes you lopped off a digit from the url ; it goes by #17924
mircea_popescu: lobbes the only important consideration here is that design is not a haphazard activity driven by occurence and circumstance. that's implementation. design is a deductive activity, it proceeds from first principles and does not break faith.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: douchebag alf lands in the oriental republic sometime mid month ; you'll get your login then, an' your first task will be to get trb up on it ; and the tasks 2 throught 999 will be to have fun.
mircea_popescu: this is neat. ok, chuck the largest sd you can find in there an' consider it sold.
mircea_popescu: yeah, tell you what, i'll be as happy as you are once it's finally done.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno he can arm... one thing at a time.
mircea_popescu: douchebag i'll get you a sever once the pizarro folk unwrap their heads enough to actually have one on offer. so you can tinker on gentoo, trb etc and get out of the "vps" bs hell.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: lol. i was going to buy you the pro yearly package, actually. but since you already have it, no need :D
mircea_popescu: !!v 86FC0A4A826976505E6815A4D3677651F10E73948ED9B253C022B65F6C2DFB4E
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i wasn't initially going to say anything besides "nay" ; but hey, pizarro's a friend of ours, so : nsa would sell the spare machine for cost, which is about .371. comes with two fgs installed and free shipping.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: !!rate douchebag 2 "your home machine's name is lobbes"
mircea_popescu: lobbes well fine, but i was discussing teh design as such. there's no rule against "i have a crappy box for a server that's not worth placing in a dc so it sits in garage", sure. nor is there any rule against "i just simplified speech, called it homebox, it's not" -- but what you say is all i have to go on, that's all.
mircea_popescu: conceptually, if it's talking to you it's an infangwif ; if it's talking to the outside it's an outsidewif. why are you fucking streetwalkers / sending the wife to walk the streets ?
mircea_popescu: why is your home box doing work that's not directed at you ?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-03#1792298 << what do these two have to do with each other anyway. there should be a difference between doing wrong and not doing enough. not every burgher can be in the town council, that dun mean he's bankrupt now or something, what the hell.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: vulnerable home computers are pestilentially common ; did you get to the portion in the logs where we logged into a shitton of servers administering solar panels ?
mircea_popescu: but very distantly read. it's a perl meatgrinder, i'm sure it misses most of the meat.
mircea_popescu has noticed over the years that the usage of screen is a sort of pons asinorum in computer usage. like the oil rag cloth in a car distinguishes pisi tourist from the driver who actually maintains the machinery ; or like condoms on the nightstand distinguish the woman from the girl and so on.
mircea_popescu: not entirely intractable to discern whether human is involved or not.
mircea_popescu: this is a theory we can easily verify. douchebag write f2c26beed4 on the boxes' tits or something. can you get it reliably ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, some ip apparently. i dunno, going through teh logs.
mircea_popescu: wget WILL time the netcard for you, the netcard has dma, that's the wholew story.
mircea_popescu: (consider, the way linux works today, if i can run wget as a user i can take the box, the memory leaks.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the pic shows that he got "something" to load a file from his filehost. supports the theory that has rce, if he can run wget he can run plenty.
mircea_popescu: douchebag dood is building the UCI before we even have it lmao.
mircea_popescu: douchebag generally it runs on actual dedicated machines, rather than vps.
mircea_popescu: "In March 2018, the blog had 7,556 page views and I made $27.09!!"
mircea_popescu: and as it has to be said : you are not a man until you've played a browser game through curl, pipe and awk/sed.
mircea_popescu: and now consider something like cat *** | grep "data.maryland.gov" | awk '{print $19..$22}' | sort -u << "get me the fields 19th through 22nd, once only, and sorted alphabetically".
mircea_popescu: trinque i despise tools that make you escape. really, it's fucking dumb, let the metachar be settable so i can not need it.
mircea_popescu: lobbes here's a bonus : suppose you have a lengthy file (such as say a server log) and you want to extract just one column. you got awk : cat hurr.txt | awk '{print $3}' (and -F will set the delimiter if space's no good).
mircea_popescu: so this upscale local market ("automercado") that stocks all the shit i buy and consequently got a multi-mn monthly account came up with the very dubious idea of running a promotion. one of those things where you get stickers with your receipt and then you fill a book ? in the terms of the master provisioneer, "they'll rue the day!". i think she's got like twenty of the things all lined up.
