mircea_popescu: yeah, but i mean... you know ? derivative excesses.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 19:14 asciilifeform: i can't help but picture that eventually they will have to cast ~new~ lenins.
mircea_popescu: hm, i shoulda named that piece tailhook-something.

a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 18:48 phf: one of many 19th c poems, that i can recite, while standing on a chair (a particular form of grownup entertainment apparently unknown in eslands)
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine it'll long last, either, so enjoy it while you have it i guess.
asciilifeform: the ssl derps i'll leave without comment. but the other great hero : 'Over the last 20+ years, Hugo contributed to Internet standards from the early days of IPsec and IKE to the current work on revamping the security of TLS for its "next generation" version, TLS 1.3. He is also a co-designer of HMAC, the widely used message authentication and pseudo-random function. More recently, he designed HKDF, an HMAC-based key derivation functi
asciilifeform: i had nfi there were an nsa prize for 'top useful idjit'
asciilifeform: meanwhile in entomology dept, https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/01/10/levchin << 'Today I have had great pleasure in attending the Real World Crypto 2018 conference in Zürich in order to receive the Levchin prize on behalf of the OpenSSL team. The Levchin prize for Real World Cryptography recognises up to two groups or individuals each year who have made significant advances in the practice of cryptography and its use in real-w
ben_vulpes: various oldcorp buddies are playing along "yeah i hate that fuckface too, how do i ruin his rep" for lulztraction
ben_vulpes: oh i forgot the best part, that "he has me cornered"
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 22:48 ben_vulpes: nattered on to itself for 3 minutes uninterrupted; i think it found a supply of uppers
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.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771445 << what i dun get, is why anybody puts up with the liquishit == fork asdf, send the french tard packing; bang! magick! no moar breakages ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 21:20 shinohai: I wouldn't be surprised if Chinese "Luckgoats" or something start showing up, some factory bought one of danielpbarron 's units on ebay and clones.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771443 << i suspect that they would if there were any money in it ☝︎

mircea_popescu: im not disputing it, i'm just annoyed by the notion.
phf: mircea_popescu: i'm not sure how to evaluate authenticity of whimsy
phf: that doesn't contradict anything i said
phf: i believe that in japan land they still have sane hardware produced like that, except they run windows on top of it. some bossman had ritual sake with bill gates (matching honor!) 40 years ago, and since then every japan machine has windows on it
asciilifeform: i think i went years on that thing without 1 full reboot
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
asciilifeform: aha i never even touched the 'nonextended'
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)
asciilifeform: i gotta try it on x60 aha
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 21:51 phf: but unfortunately doesn't work (i've not tried the ttf one, but i suspect it'll render like shit) on those fancy high definition flat screens kids use these days
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 18:44 phf: i wonder if current day ru even talks about "lost knowledge" LoTR style, or it's literally arab egyption "we're best of what could possibly be!1"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or anything else. at least the lost of symbolics era have something to point to. "omg i wrote emacs!!1" "it sucked" "yeah well."
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771302 << i am quite persuaded by this view. what they disliked in bush maps exactly on what we dislike in obama and his herd of subhuman brown orcs ; and more generally what they disliked of hitler (incidentally -- also what they ended up copying of hitler) very much exactly maps on the whole substance of what we don't like in pantsuit. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 18:25 asciilifeform: and on top of this, the folx 'put to pasture at nih' -- or at least the ones not yet senile -- i suspect at this point are ready to come back
phf: mircea_popescu: i don't mean the tiny little munchkins, but the goofy grin jetpack guy
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771282 << i liked the part where they misspelled "standart". clearly they understand correct republican misspellings. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771274 << tbh i kinda like those ;/ ☝︎
ben_vulpes: funny aside is that it claims i'm ignoring, when in point of fact the ignorance goes strictly the other direction
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!
phf: but unfortunately doesn't work (i've not tried the ttf one, but i suspect it'll render like shit) on those fancy high definition flat screens kids use these days ☟︎

lobbes: What, I wonder, is the point of such plagiarisms. The links still link to original item on Loper-os; who are they trying to fool? Googlebots mebbe?
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.
asciilifeform: i had one such repaired, it lived <6mo.
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: i remember doing ( sometimes successful, more often not ) homebrew re-reflow-of-bad-bga tho.
phf: anyway, i did recently replace an iphone (6?) screen, i mean, as far as legoes go that is 6/10. i suspect people who do that for living can do it in 1/10 of time
asciilifeform: last i saw one, it had 0 exposed or exposable contacts at all.
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: and this is while i can still get the 'universal' cylindrical cells. they will, i expect, disappear, at some point.
asciilifeform: today i gotta do this with own hands. because nobody else will, for any money. ☟︎
asciilifeform: at least as a kid, i had no way of stripping it, aside from bare hands/knife
phf: (the answer is that about %10 of shit we would pick up could be desoldered and used, though of course we didn't have any use for it. i suppose metalist career could've started if we started selling what we recovered)
asciilifeform: phf so narrowly missed such great career as a metallist, i had nfi!
Covale`: asciilifeform, I don´t think we had any Lenins there, as far as I know
asciilifeform: when i was walking around in timis, wondered whether some of those boarded-up cellars contained a lenin.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 19:14 asciilifeform: every year i hear about, e.g., 'lenin knocked down in warsaw' -- always gotta wonder 'WHERE? was it hiding all of this time?!'

a111: Logged on 2015-08-19 23:55 mircea_popescu: what, "i'm a boy from tenesee here to die for some fat bitch's right to marry her dog" ?
phf: i mentioned to one of these men that i have good ear for accents, at which point he proceeded to immitate, without any comedic manerisms, roughly 10-20 accents along the dc<->baltimore line.
trinque: and got "shit, I joined the airforce to be in that gay-ass top gun movie, got instead desk, and military downsizing" ☟︎
asciilifeform: i was curious specifically re what they instead had, trinque .
trinque: I say the place had no culture, and he starts arguing with me that it had no culture
trinque: I dunno what the equivalent on the RU side was
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.
phf: one of many 19th c poems, that i can recite, while standing on a chair (a particular form of grownup entertainment apparently unknown in eslands) ☟︎
asciilifeform: glanced at me to make sure I was getting it down.' (tm)(r)('anathem')
asciilifeform: oblig: '“Are people starving to death? Or are they sick because they are too fat?” Artisan Quin scratched his beard and thought about that one. “You’re talking of slines, I assume?” Fraa Orolo shrugged. Quin thought that was funny. Unlike Artisan Flec, he was not afraid to laugh out loud. “Sort of both at the same time,” he finally admitted. “Very good,” said Fraa Orolo, in a now we’re getting somewhere tone, and
phf: i wonder if current day ru even talks about "lost knowledge" LoTR style, or it's literally arab egyption "we're best of what could possibly be!1" ☟︎
asciilifeform: i was thinking of current-day ru as the arab-egyptian. but yes.
asciilifeform: and on top of this, the folx 'put to pasture at nih' -- or at least the ones not yet senile -- i suspect at this point are ready to come back ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( iirc i posted a snapshot of a leaked fragment of docs for it, last yr )
asciilifeform: trinque: i'm watching, as i typically do, without sound card
asciilifeform: ( i.e. a ~3500 usd crate )
shinohai: I don't trust them, they need stickers on top.
shinohai: I like my tattered clothing and bad haircut, thank you very much.
mircea_popescu: in other gems of the web browser : peltast's why am i dead ; toge production's infectonator ; tactisoft's supermechs ; hoplitegames battle sails
asciilifeform: i did wonder where they went !
asciilifeform: well so was i, lol
mircea_popescu: i was fucking there, what.
mircea_popescu: i would believe.
BingoBoingo: To track spending I just figure 30 pesos to the dollar. But it anycase 100 Argentine pesos is not at all worth 5 USD
asciilifeform: i was speaking of usd.
asciilifeform: ( when i was last there, was ~8 )
asciilifeform: ( i.e. a 'weight', that is, of silver, sorta how 'pound', or 'ruble', at one point )
mircea_popescu: aww was gonna put "fellow bashfictionado" in there but then i got lazy
ave1: thanks! I get it, and will do
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 15:56 ave1: trinque, I understand, I will sign the tarball (after removing the diffs that are unused anyway)
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, ranges huh. s/$(seq 0 9)/$(seq 00 13)/
asciilifeform: speaking of pierced pretenses, according to orlol ( and i've no way to verify ) a ru tanker is offloading a purchase of lng at boston harbour as we speak.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 15:28 asciilifeform: though this reminds me, this episode is a good illustration of one point where i disagree with mircea_popescu re the gutter -- i do not want the gutter or its inhabitants who cannot come out of it on their own power, for anything whatsoever. they bring with them the stench, and it never really washes off.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform chiefly ~found~. i dun look in male heads. prior to the republic, i only looked with power tools.
asciilifeform: ( i dun see how specifically female , they are a universal plague )
