asciilifeform: i should've thought of that!111forffa

BingoBoingo: And I forgot the amounts in that one

As time moves forward, being able to say "I read x unit-of-time worth of logs" will require more and more reading to comprehend same unit-of-time due to growing "webs of threads"

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-24#1775228 << oh, i don't expect she actually understood anything. but hey, youth is the label we put on "i am watching the things go by and i have no idea what;s going on". ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i never saw bank accts this short.

asciilifeform: i dun think i've ever used a bank to pay for a domain reg

shinohai: I guarantee even my financially handicapped self can register a domain right now, no bank needed.

BingoBoingo: I preferred goodbyte

a111: Logged on 2018-01-24 17:47 RagnarDanneskjol: I have registered a ton of domains for friends who don't like using Banks over the years.

ben_vulpes: i don't see this actually forcing you to maintain and update the content either

RagnarDanneskjol: I am just busywith work, often reading the logs in several weeks behind and doing extensive requisite study to actually keep up with you boys. I'm happy to commit some time when it avails.... I've even gone and upset the boss now because I didn't have enough time to train ornamental candidates on VPN/irc stuff

asciilifeform: here's what i dungetatall, RagnarDanneskjol : why you never showed up here with the sane-wallets thing ? there are folx who are interested , could have worked with you

RagnarDanneskjol: Yes I keep things on public www so it forces me to maintain and update my content. I think the adspace is just leftover from the template I borrowed from drudgereport

asciilifeform: and offers paid ad space, last i saw

RagnarDanneskjol: Again it was only for my own personal reference And archiving purposes. I never shared it with anybody as far as I know

RagnarDanneskjol: And then they went away so I stopped

RagnarDanneskjol: That was a page where I used to keep all sorts of fabulous links from Qntra, the whet, trilema, etc

asciilifeform: oh i dun give a rat's arse whether RagnarDanneskjol deletes or not

RagnarDanneskjol: If you'd like to test one of the kits out for yourself I'm happy to send it to you for free

RagnarDanneskjol: It's just a model of how I do my own air gap wallet signing and I thought I would build it into something else. No it's not concrete or whatever I'll go ahead and delete all of it right now so you don't have to worry about it. I guess the date was a time frame I wanted to put on myself for some reason. I don't even remember

asciilifeform: i am disappoint(tm)

asciilifeform: what am i missing

RagnarDanneskjol: Because it was just an idea I started sketching out one night and it wasn't for anyone's consumption or consideration other than myself at this point

RagnarDanneskjol: I have registered a ton of domains for friends who don't like using Banks over the years. ☟︎

RagnarDanneskjol: Yes, I tried to get a few people to help with deedbot, at pools, etc in the past

ben_vulpes: i have a vague memory of his pushing some kid to do it?

a111: Logged on 2015-01-05 10:23 RagnarDanneskjol: i was keeping it at deedbot.com but now thats outdated too

ben_vulpes: !!up RagnarDanneskjol i don't need anything, wrapping up a tiny mystery

ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774416 << email came back, claiming to be from RagnarDanneskjol but "away from my key" so how'm i to know... ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "here i am with mom and my younger sister -- who will be doing this next year!"

a111: Logged on 2018-01-24 05:42 mircea_popescu: in other shit you never heard before, new slut claims to have read the previous month's worth of logs ~last night~. i think i'm moving the bar to "a minimum of 65 years' worth of log reading" on the basis of this one datapoint.

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-24#1775015 << Though I will warn readers: I am slow.. (but steady). Though the general strategy of "keep snr > 0 and try and learn from my betters" appears to be working ☝︎

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in other news, apparently yahoo owns tumblr ? i had no idea. << Happened a while back during the "Yahoo as conduit for funneling money into brands" era

spyked: (ftr, /me got his first ubuntu cd "for free" at a "computer conference" mid-2000s; fortunately, his first linux install was a red hat at a now defunct internet cafe in bucharest; to this day I have no idea why they wanted me to install that, 90% of the people went there for "counter strike", the other 10% for diablo 2)

a111: Logged on 2017-11-12 23:00 spyked: hi! sorry for the radio silence. I've been working myself out of various irl swamps lately (still in progress). following in read-only mode though.

asciilifeform: lemme know meanwhile if params change. i'ma bbl: delirium, bed, etc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'll make this go when i wake up

mircea_popescu: in other news, apparently yahoo owns tumblr ? i had no idea.

mircea_popescu: they weren't THAT bad, i ate a few myself.

asciilifeform: 'forgive me, bro' 'hey, i'll forgive, but phenolphthalein won't forgive, prepare to live in the toilet'

mircea_popescu: yet another word i knew!

asciilifeform: ftr i do hope it can be made to work on folx who never read frege.

asciilifeform: but i can see where mircea_popescu is coming from.

asciilifeform: i'd expect , they were mostly interested in dueling and cards

asciilifeform: i found it interesting to consider, why winblowz '0days' exciting to 19yo n00b, but e.g. ffa -- not

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774921 << amusingly i read it as a "well, gotta put best foot forward and don best suit", kinda unconvinced of why or what the fuck subjhectively, "but what can you do". which is why i just ignored it, triggered none of my tripwires. while apparently hitting TWO DIFFERENT!!! immune system protein pathways in two different people. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 19:52 phf: i can see the education angle, and how it fails these people, but what i'm surprised about is the lack of personal drive? it's some kind of learned helplessness

a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 19:47 lobbes: Never once did I encounter "interested in something? Here's how you could keep following that interest"

a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 19:36 ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774783 << "org mode", i haven't found else with which to htmlize coad

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774906 << publish it sometime ; and also since on this trinque i'd like to use whatever wot.deedbot uses to spit the round svg graph to make a "trilema article links" thing. can i get it somewhere ? ☝︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/news/item/445-trident-tvga9000i-3 << 1st vga i had

asciilifeform: ( i miss how quiet the 486 was , actually )

mircea_popescu: i ~never bought sound cards.

asciilifeform: i dun think i ever had a box with vga but not at least an adlib in it

asciilifeform: i had 'adlib' by the time i got copy of civ

phf: that was cm-500, it's got flatter soundbank than mt-32. but to be honest first time i heard either was after i moved to us, and it's frankly weird to hear all those classic tunes in such epic renditions. though i guess soundblaster that everyone had in ru wasn't bad either

asciilifeform: i never did have a roland tho

asciilifeform: i liked the 'ru' ( blatant 'дубинушка' ) intro. and ditto

mircea_popescu: anyway, it was the rondeau by mouret. but it never heard a proper variant played on like yopu klnow, actual fucking musical instruments, that i even half as much liked.

mircea_popescu: now i gotta find this.

asciilifeform: then thought 'wtf am i doing, wai'

asciilifeform: i admit, i was tempted, last night, to actually debug the crash

mircea_popescu: now if only i had a blog from 1993 i could dig in and find what the fix was.

asciilifeform: i never saw...

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, that actually was a known problem at the time! i REMEBER THIS

asciilifeform: speaking of which, i tried to civ1 on that hp800 box, and it dies with div0 during the intro ( drops to shell, stays in 320*200 tho, and... music -- keeps playing!? somehow! )

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774901 << fu, i went to school! ☝︎

asciilifeform: in usa that's a 'department' but i hate the wurd

a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 18:39 phf: afair though, the subset of commands that we have in vdiff can be reduced to portable awk (i had it working on mac os x), but i don't remember what the necessary changes are. someone mentioned that busybox awk fails..

mod6: i like it. pay attention readers. ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 17:53 lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774737 << btw, ty ben_vulpes for writing this article. After I get archive .zip delivery up and running I will be taking time to get my castle in order. This will include: 1) learning 'v' 2) get a working trb 3) testing my damn fgs already 4) ffa chapter 1 (at least)

mircea_popescu: meanwhile "programming", in the sense (and i quote exactly), "I'm working in corporation in finance and procurement department, so I can sum up my life with : excel, excel, excel, SAP, a little bit more excel" is not actuially a job 90% opf the walkers can do.

mircea_popescu: which is even a welcome fucking idea, no more of this "DANGEROUS CURVE AHEAD". bitch, i don't know your idea of "dangerous", say "curve type W64" and be fucking done with it.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774856 << loller. this, btw, VERY much a thing. i dunno how they survive, but if i wanted to make a life as a thief here, easily could. ☝︎

asciilifeform: speaking of optics , asciilifeform found today that chinese sell a qrcode-reader thing, the size of a matchbox, with rs232 output (i.e. self-contained, needs no softwarism) , eats 5v , ~20bux

a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 16:08 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought he was a student

shinohai: Just to make note in logs, I tested phf's vdiff changes as outlined on his blog, and got satisfactory results. Old version of vdiff failed as expected.

shinohai: What a great log, too much to link to but I learned things same way - took apart my trash80, then the 8088's. My room was littered with such stuff.

lobbes: Was only there where I actually took apart old 90's machines, saw and held motherboards, connected power supplied, and interfaced with DOS. if only for a short time.

lobbes: If it weren't for the (wholly optional) "pc repair" class I took in high school (~2004) I never would have gone beyond the "how to MS Word" in the mandatory "Computers" class.

a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 20:10 phf: i guess the main differentiator is whether or not douchebag actually wants to hack, in which case it's going back to commodore thread. between esl education and ipad there's no obvious direction of exploration, that he can take the way we could take it in the 90s

ben_vulpes: relatedly, i discovered a computer in a 2.5y preschool classroom this am

phf: i guess the main differentiator is whether or not douchebag actually wants to hack, in which case it's going back to commodore thread. between esl education and ipad there's no obvious direction of exploration, that he can take the way we could take it in the 90s ☟︎

phf: you'll laught but that's how i learned about 127.0.0.1 :F

phf: "i'm useless, but i'm down with whatever you're into, older boys"

phf: right, sort of like how they used to ask "how do i learn hacking?" as an opener on kiddie channels

trinque: I took it as more the kind of self-marketing they teach kids to "get into college"

lobbes: Very much a cargo cultism, I would say. Cannot conceive of the workings of physics that even allow planes that drop payloads. Never been shown, or explained, by -anyone-. "Assembly code for favorite vidya game? But all my phriends just use "Game Shark" for their cheating levels"

phf: i can see the education angle, and how it fails these people, but what i'm surprised about is the lack of personal drive? it's some kind of learned helplessness ☟︎☟︎

lobbes: From that, feeds into all the socialist pandering to folx who "hey, I did xyz like you said! Why no w yet!?"

lobbes: Well, very rarely, at least, did I encounter that. Not enough to make me take my 'schooling' any more seriously than 'find path of least resistance to fiatola pile'

lobbes: Never once did I encounter "interested in something? Here's how you could keep following that interest" ☟︎

phf: well, what is that they say, americans learn to market themselves as the main skill? "how do i optimize the roi of my career track please". whatever happened to "i'm trying to make a sploit from this bugtraq, but my return rail is too short, and i can't get a jump going to proper place"???

asciilifeform: phf: aaha. i thought about answering douchebag , 'this is rather like asking where to learn to ballet' , but thought 'too harsh'

ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774783 << "org mode", i haven't found else with which to htmlize coad ☝︎☟︎

phf: oh man "how do i learn assembly", you learn assembly by reading through the assembly output of a pirated ida pro that you have attached to your favorite video game, because you trying to figure out where the inventory count is, duh
