a111: Logged on 2018-02-01 21:24 phf: diana_coman: ty, i'll try wiring it in, and keep you posted. i assume ada<>c interop is pretty straightforward, though i won't have a chance to try until later next week. suddenly busy
BingoBoingo: I though those were all jetisoned in argentina?
BingoBoingo: I may end up buying a consumer tower box to throw in the cage for a photo session and burn more ips.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They are getting wrote back after I fill ALL the ips. Hopefully this weekend
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: From before I got the keys
asciilifeform: i dunget, why 'you are not operating', 'do not have an active connection with a provider'
BingoBoingo: Needless to say I will be spinning up plenty of virtual boxen and testing cloud platforms
mod6: I'm a private kinda guy.
mp_en_viaje: i hope we don
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo am i mistaken ?
asciilifeform: the concrete cost of e.g. 'i want to emplace 1U and get 500kB/s in/out'
mp_en_viaje: a good time to say "i want five plox" was you know, when we were specifying it ; but still perfectly available.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> the analogous BingoBoingo pic would be if he took one while standing inside the rack, like in phone booth << I will pick up a tower box here locally, set it in the cage and take this pic. The thing is deep.
mp_en_viaje: notrly news, i guess. anyway.
mp_en_viaje: because i don't want a throng of poor but stupid women begging in my driveway.
asciilifeform: no, i'm sold, i get the idea , 'nyahaha, come and get it'
asciilifeform: ( if there's nothing to be lost by posting it... i bet it's quite a sight, why then not posted )
mp_en_viaje: why so sluggish with this whole "i am an actual person, i behave like an actual person, to the humiliating, painfully evident difference from subhuman idcard carriers" ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i assumed he did not post a photo for opsec reason
a111: Logged on 2018-02-01 00:30 BingoBoingo: Hello, machines screwed in. Need to return in the morning to figure out what stupid mistake I made configuring the switch/router. Long night of reading sample configs ahead.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 23:06 ben_vulpes: or hm i guess the nick i picked was bv_is_a_scammer
diana_coman: phf, ada<->C interop was quite straightforward last time I tried it, didn't take much at all; you'll need to add a few exports iirc
phf: diana_coman: ty, i'll try wiring it in, and keep you posted. i assume ada<>c interop is pretty straightforward, though i won't have a chance to try until later next week. suddenly busy ☟︎
asciilifeform: fwiw one can also define these like a barbarian, as x * 2 and x / 2 ; and gcc (last i saw) will Do The Right Thing and transform to a shift
asciilifeform: fwiw i do not know of a cpu , from any earthling cpu maker, that did not have shifts/rotates by 1
diana_coman: in principle if one aims for speed, one should look at parallelism I guess
asciilifeform: i assume this was deliberate, sorta like my egyptologies
diana_coman: tbh I would recommend it as a better "starter" approach anyway
asciilifeform: seems to use whole word (i.e. 64b , on amd64) to store each bit tho
asciilifeform: trinque: i missed it: looked for mp, rather than mpex
ben_vulpes: ah how i've missed thee
mod6: ssd too i hope
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I put an up to recent block chain copy on the box already, but yes I plan to build the ben_vulpes super aggression for it.
asciilifeform: ( at some point we will have to solve the puzzle of just how many trb nodes it makes sense to have inside 1 cage, i also suspect )
BingoBoingo: shinohai: I still gotta get a bitcoind on the box
asciilifeform: i mean for css/img
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i meant specifically when loading via ip
asciilifeform: diana_coman: slow to load but i suspect that it has qntra hardcoded links and yer browser sits and tries to resolve and fails
diana_coman: I can confirm I see it from here
BingoBoingo: Turns out the problem was I overconfigured the switch yesterday. Less is more.
asciilifeform: i can only suppose he dun have a verdict yet...
BingoBoingo: Hello, machines screwed in. Need to return in the morning to figure out what stupid mistake I made configuring the switch/router. Long night of reading sample configs ahead. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: or hm i guess the nick i picked was bv_is_a_scammer ☟︎
ben_vulpes: lol aw, wish i'd seen that
mp_en_viaje: i am satisfied that we're not discussing intellects capable of realising when they're being bled.
mp_en_viaje: if they're not being actively oppressed, and i mean with pillories and whole village rapes, the temperature of the corpse dun matter.
asciilifeform: sorta why i wonder re places like astana. where colonial past is not so long gone, corpse still warm
mp_en_viaje: i dunno what the chinese are to blame for.
asciilifeform: dunno that i've ever even been in a car without those, then
mp_en_viaje: yes i meant.
mp_en_viaje: i didn;t even know they still made cars without, why the everloving would you
mp_en_viaje: i fucking hate this town
asciilifeform: i was able to , e.g., emerge emacs and not suddenly see dbus appear. there isn't much moar that i even want from gentoo/portage.
phf: gentoo have left a bad taste in my mouth long time ago. i was running it for about a year since first release, and i was even really into python back then!
asciilifeform: ( and at this point i think i've tried every battery vendor known to make these )
asciilifeform: fwiw my gentoo recipe was written when i was preparing x60
phf: eh, i haven't found anything that worked better or worse. everywhere i have to carve a haven, but put it on top of quicksand
asciilifeform: x61 ( the kind i gave to g_l ) -- yes, had it
asciilifeform: i had nfi there was a x60 with wacom
phf: i don't really want to waste much time tweaking the confs, so most things don't really work for now. i have audio and wifi, but suspend dosn't work, nor does the nifty touch screen, etc.
asciilifeform: i dun think i've ever sat on a working box with anything other than hand-sewn xorg.conf
phf: yeah, can get for now, but X doesn't magically start, so i need to figure out what's going on there. probably requires hand written xorg.conf
asciilifeform: but phf did mention 'butcher cut', i'm curious what the obvious wtfs were
phf: well, i like to take potshots at shitty systems as much as the next lord, but the publicized dev/random issue was there briefly and has officially been patched. i've not attempted to dive into dev/random though
a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 14:01 asciilifeform: ( i posted even a patched, with own hand , bios for it, iirc phf uses ; and a kernel conf )
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-31#1778747 << bios patched, but i haven't tried kernel conf, i'm running freebsd on it. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: ave1, would you consider gutting that entire class as a patch ? i have nfi why a "kses" bs is even needed. seems a case of giraffe's jugular.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-31 19:14 asciilifeform: e.g., i still have not forgiven, and do not intend to forgive, the acpi 'soft' power supply switch.
mp_en_viaje: why the everloving fuck would i imagine the solution is for the kernel to choose from a list maintained by the fucking power button
mp_en_viaje: this whole "o no mp, but the karnel must have a special place i ncpu" bs. IF IT DOES BAKE IT.
mp_en_viaje: i don't want the fucking bs of hey mp we notice your brightness keys do not work would you like to restart the program.
mp_en_viaje: i do not want ANYTHING down the protected mode tree. i want the real mode tree continued. update it for wider busses.
asciilifeform: which item to throw out. i'ma guess whole mpu.
mp_en_viaje: yes i know, but what'd you have me call the refusal of post 1989 "progress" ?
mp_en_viaje: i do not want this laptop to even fucking have protected mode. protect what from what ? noty, 32bit realmode for the win.
mp_en_viaje: i would say this is a glorious example of idiocy, imagine, the thing ~would work~ if just left the fuck alone. but smething in boot process fucks up my keys.
mp_en_viaje: i'd have to recompile ?
mp_en_viaje: C9K94UC#ABA (hp eliteboook 8470p) for the precision minded. i wouldn't recommend buying it, even though the chassis may seem fine.
mp_en_viaje: i think it literally may be the worst bios interface i have ever seen. ever. including 1990s almost-compatible days.
mp_en_viaje: worth a shot but i don't feel like rebooting my windows terminal yet again
asciilifeform: ( i posted even a patched, with own hand , bios for it, iirc phf uses ; and a kernel conf ) ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: what can i tell you, it passed the mechanical test
mp_en_viaje: i am using a screen called "default" that manifestly does not exist in any way except to fucking burn my eyes off.
mp_en_viaje: in other "thanks goodness computer means programmable machine", i have here this hp elitebook. it has the backlight permanently welded to "retina cancer". the "function" key bs works for everything else EXCEPT setting the brightness, fn-f9 does 0. ☟︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-29 17:14 asciilifeform: ty ave1 , i'd definitely like to read the answer
BingoBoingo: I suppose after the plugging in and the monthly statementing that I should write a tourism guide to Montevideo for alf et al
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> the 90s were a lot better for partying, i'll tell you that. it's not clear to me that out of the entire world as it stands you can produce enough night life for a middling 90s town. << I believe. During the night walks there will be a lot of empty street and 1 bar where apparently the party is at, most locals crowded outside asking each other who has the weed hookup while the girlies grind in crowded basement dance trap.
asciilifeform: i have a handy little faraday sack for these
mp_en_viaje: no i think these are chipped
mp_en_viaje: HOWEVER they didn't have the fucking sense to make my key open the main gate. fucking banks can figure out this much for atm, but not these dorks. so i gotta wait there for a guard to show up and unlock it and wish me welcome, after the outside guard asks me n times what my room number is.
mp_en_viaje: but, get this -- these idiots DID make the elevator not work if you don't have your magical key card, so i had to comandeer a maid to get me to my floor. cuz that's fuckinguseful, needing your key for the elevator
mod6: like if i was riding, and told you to put your arms around me.
mp_en_viaje: i have nfi.
mp_en_viaje: mod6, nope. moreover, i think if they had an uzi they'd hock it and buy a helmet
mod6: ya, rumor upon rumor. "i heard they ride motorcycles and shoot eachother"
mp_en_viaje: imagine this, here i sit in bogota, columbia, like a man in a desert.
mp_en_viaje: the 90s were a lot better for partying, i'll tell you that. it's not clear to me that out of the entire world as it stands you can produce enough night life for a middling 90s town.
mp_en_viaje: i dunno man...
mod6: i like your sense of adventure
asciilifeform: but i see it as really argument against pipelines, not against flags...
