diana_coman: and fwiw see history of foxybot: it started precisely like that, as a player-made-for-own-use thing and it ended up bundled into "official" client
shinohai: You can play with pen and paper, I'm sure, if you find a method for so doing.

shinohai: I started some work on this over a year ago, simply too much work for me because of irl obligations unfortunately.

esthlos: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771055 << My thought was to scrap the current client in favor of a customized one, with eucrypt protocol as the backbone. Is this 1. not what you want, or 2. a bad idea? ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: phf: re suspend-to-ram -- 1 of the things i still dunget, is why there isn't simply a compartment for sd card in the back of the box ( any of'em, old or new ). let's say after lid closed for 10min, it'd write the ram to the sd. if battery alive -- does nothing. but if dies, then when dc plug reinserted, load back from sd.

shinohai: Hey ben_vulpes did it call from a blocked number?
ben_vulpes: nattered on to itself for 3 minutes uninterrupted; i think it found a supply of uppers ☟︎
phf: it seems like if i'm going to be power tethered anyway, might as wel lhave a smaller battery purely to keep the ram warm in transport
phf: yeah, that battery is a joke, and it's the extended one (the one that sticks out of the frame, unlike the stock smaller one, that i can't seem to find anywhere)

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771296 << they could always come back to the republic they failed to create back in 1960 when they should have, instead of dicking about mit as if mit is to fucking be a thing. there was no need of symbolics, nonsymbolics and other symbolics, there was need of tmsr. but... even extremely late is better than never. somewhat. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: were i to venture a guess into what's going on in the addled mind it'd be that it thinks the sum is just right to dispatch an annoyance?
asciilifeform: nifty little printer, except 1) the 'dip switches' are imaginary. instead it wastes 2 metres of paper on interactively querying you for config, when you want to reconfig it ( when new , pretty much , i dun see why ever a second time ) and 2) tear bar instead of cutter, is annoying imho.
shinohai: "Hi! I'm a mentally ill ex heroin user and tried to scam people out of Bitcoin by pretending to be a woman. Kthanx bye"
ben_vulpes: that i am a very shady character! and that i have a lot of venmo accounts! and that i have stolen cryptocurrencies ("of all things!") from innocent people!

asciilifeform: i'm not even fully convinced that the bga issue did not mask a more deliberate funsurprise, with e.g. a specially crafted slowly-melting 'planned obsolescent' fuse on the die, or the like.
phf: correct, the exercise is more of a "zen and the art of motorcycle" than anything else
phf: i actually found a lab that repairs apple motherboards of certain vintage, cheap
asciilifeform: ( the 'real deal' tool is the ir lamp thing, looks a bit like a photo enlarger, with pre-heat bed underneath. i dun have one. i only have the hot air hose. which relies on your bare hands and ir thermometer to follow reflow curve, which is why my success rate is 20-30% , i suspect )
phf: which i suspect is a "bga ball defect" on the secondary video card
phf: yeah, i think i gotta do that.. my workhorse machine finally died at motherboard (2011 mac, colleges sighed existential relief "finally you can upgrade like a normal human being", not so fast!)
asciilifeform: the 1 item folx do, is to pull off the flashroms, you can even buy a ready reader for'em nao. but only turdtroid, crapple has weird proprietary all-in-1 , for which nuffin is (publicly) available at all.
phf: doesn't mean you can't cut off at stem with a blade, solder back "levsha" style :>
asciilifeform: thing is as reusable as a tampax.
asciilifeform: phf: not much room to work in, any moar, either -- new crapple iron is aluminum box with 2 custom chips, a custom prismatic li-po cell, and buncha epoxy
asciilifeform: a good % of the 'planned obsolescence' racket is enforced using batteryism.
phf: when i started to apple there was an odd network of apple repair shops, that were completely warranty voiding, but they could do non-trivial operations on a mac (in fact with a few exceptions the owners were knowledgable tinkerers ready and willing to chat about finer points of electronics hackery), the network has been completely destroyed by the bait and switch of "authorization" that apple pulled right after they started the whole apple store thing.
asciilifeform: for instance, at one time there were shops where you could take a e.g. lappy battery pack and they would saw it open, replace cells.
asciilifeform: consider how many items in current-day american shop even contain a discrete resistor.
phf: a lot of stuff we'd find, particularly inside buildings would not even require stripping. boxes of resistors and capacitors, various cool bits like variable resistors..
phf also has a very visceral understanding of "roadside picnic"
asciilifeform: at least as a kid, i had no way of stripping it, aside from bare hands/knife
asciilifeform: pulling components from su appliances was a bitch: that red varnish
phf: why missed! my first entry into electronics was when my grandpa in his very particular way completely dismissed the value of our electronics loot by saying "yes, but how many of these components actually worked" and then leaving a tester
asciilifeform: phf so narrowly missed such great career as a metallist, i had nfi!
phf: we had a lofty plan to steal the head of lenin from one of those skladi, but being 12 at the time, we failed to actually procure a saw large enough to make a dent
phf: my country house was nearby zvezdny gorodok, so lots of "skladi" (open air storage facilities, mostly for r&d and military). obviously we used to climb over and explore mounds and mounds of electronics parts and old decomitioned army equipment, etc. but every once in a while we'lll come acros a statue of lenin
asciilifeform: ( prolly not, as metallists would inevitably get to him, like ants get to a corpse in the forest. but just. possibly. one. somewhere )
asciilifeform: when i was walking around in timis, wondered whether some of those boarded-up cellars contained a lenin.
phf: re fighting for walmart, dolly parton apparently did a pretty bad rendition of the ballad of the green beret https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7-pnAPcSN4 ☟︎☟︎
phf: see, that little vignette could be used to feed a berlin artist for a year, government grants to develop that idea into full blown art projects. "factory visit" documentaries, interviews with the workers, etc. got bless the nodic system
trinque: oh sure. the statue, as per mircea_popescu's definition of art, is a cargo-cultism where the sovereign that put it there is unknown, and dead.
asciilifeform: trinque: iirc it was naggum who had a piece re how folx with trauma, do not necessarily or even often learn anything useful from said trauma
asciilifeform: there's a reason why the folx coming back from the various vietnams, come back with dope habits, instead of menschkeit , phf

phf: russian cultural center in d.c. still gets a regular influx of 50+ something men in grey suits, who like to talk about good old days of cold war
trinque: when gone, life descends into a sort of neurotic suburban existential break
trinque: from the murican side, of the cold warriors I've known, seems like the evil empire served as a surrogate culture for a while.
