then what did you like about apu1 in
the first place ?
BingoBoingo: X120e is easy enough
to work on, chinese plasic, but pre-2013 AMD dual core
thing
a111: Logged on 2019-02-06 15:32 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for
that matter,
the starvation-cheap machine in
http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2993 , 'samsung n150', same chipset as x60 . cost me exactly fiddybux on fleamarkets.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I am going
to head down
to
the basement
to put
two old RK drives in dulap for zeroing and
to retrieve
the USB
to SATA cable for zeroing
the rust
BingoBoingo found a couple 160GB rust spinners going
through
the luggage, one of
them can be repurposed
to keep hanbot from having
to work off of USB 2.0
mircea_popescu: without all
that fundamentally oral commentary... well... where's mel.
mircea_popescu: the ur example being of course "Although optimum is an absolute
term, like unique, it became common verbal practice
to make it relative: not quite optimum or less optimum or not very optimum. Mel called
the maximum
time-delay locations
the most pessimum."
mircea_popescu: and i'm not even sure it's yet detailed enough (not
to mention
the part where -- "to make any sense of
this you must headload log anyways")
mircea_popescu: yes "object oriented" verbosity is ridoinculous. nevertheless
there is A LOT of meta involved
that no ida ever sucks out, cuz it's not machine-accessible. which is why both eucrypt and ffa published chapters look like
they do.
mircea_popescu: maybe it was already ending by
time of doom, but i guarantee you
that if i had orig author of said 2mb of asm "source" of dos in
the dungeon, i'd be stuck producing A LOT OF accompanying notation
through interrogation.
mircea_popescu: and so in
this sense, dos "source" is a lot like "bolix source" -- would consist of 99.9999% cat scans by mass.
mircea_popescu: but by
the
time you're
trying
to wrangle
the 32bit processor's 2gb of memory...
mircea_popescu: because fuck, one guy and his wife can make zexcellent-80 games in bedroom over summer, without bothering
to DOCUMENT how
that much
mircea_popescu: ie, with or without "cathedral & bazaar", "copyleft" etc bs, something very akin
to "the effects of open source" would have occured ANYWAY
mircea_popescu: people (the actual people, i mean) only started perceiving
the need
to ~even write down most of it~ sometime in
the 90s.
mircea_popescu: back in
the 16 bit days, MOST software existed in a verrrry soft manner indeed.
mircea_popescu: this is a large portion of what
the "champions" of "the open source revolution" generally omit
to mention :
mircea_popescu: kinda for
this reason, back i nthe day "sources" meant a LOT of "brain content" so
to speak.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo give me however many fit / you want
to spare, she can cuntoo-image
them all for you free of charge. << Sounds like a plan. Gathering materials.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm just going
through a nostalgia moment here.
mircea_popescu: fucking novell netware. I STILL RECALL
THAT CRAP, 47 disks or some shit.
mircea_popescu: i recall
the
times a slim os was judged by "fits on one 7"."
trinque: whole point was
to slim
the
thing down
to minimal set
that'll boot and compile w/e else you wanted
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo give me however many fit / you want
to spare, she can cuntoo-image
them all for you free of charge.
mircea_popescu: give me a break, if cuntoo dun fit in
there
the problem's not with
the disk.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as long as
the
thing fits. how big are
they ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I am asking asciilifeform how we want
to handle
this
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo but i mean, i have
to buy a ssd
to
test out cuntoo ?
mircea_popescu: or in general. i want 2gb films like i want
the clap. if god didn't mean films
to be 700mb he wouldn't have made cd's
that big.
BingoBoingo: Based on last month's colo a month is 0.03542500, individuals SSD's are on our book at 0.04744204 BTC. asciilifeform, as
technical director is it reasonable
to short
term rent an SSD or are SSD's something
that need
to be sold. My inclination is SSD attaches
to customer. Disinclined
to reuse
these
things or pass
them between customers.
mircea_popescu went
through a phase where deliberately did not buy 64 bit.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
the spec is as described, with
t2400, 31 W.
mircea_popescu: ok, so
to be perfectly clear --
thinkpad x60, released by lenovo cca 2006, comes with Intel Core Duo
T2400 / 1.83 GHz processor, which is a 32 bit processor.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-11 18:49 asciilifeform: aaaaaaaaaalso in order
to do
this you will need
the patched bios.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-13 00:41 mircea_popescu: i
think i have one right here. from ~period. it's a workhorse, sure, and it paid for itself many
times over, but...
mircea_popescu is waveriong whether he wants
to actually buy an x-pad or can't be arsed.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> vaguely relatedly, is
there such a
thing as a 64 bit laptop
that's acceptable as far as anyone knows ? << I don't hate
the
thinkpad x120e, AMD E350 Bobcat chip
mircea_popescu: i never bought one yet, principally because i don't know of such a
thing.
mircea_popescu: vaguely relatedly, is
there such a
thing as a 64 bit laptop
that's acceptable as far as anyone knows ?
mircea_popescu: if for no other reason
then because i'd really like
to slim it out in
the coming years.
mircea_popescu: one day
there's gonna be an accounting of all
these dead days, "well, master ordered me
to so and so, so i went
through
the piles, picked laptop,
then discovered needs gentoo but not clear which gentoo, links dead, so ima pick one,
then next day discovered it dun work on machine i selected before knowing
the relevant criteria and
turns out i dun have one
that meets and holy shit".
mircea_popescu: ie, "select a gentoo
to install", which
took a day's work fwir.
mircea_popescu: convenient, seeing how it
then also cuts some intermediate steps, i guess ?
mircea_popescu: i have nfi, whatever's needed
to encuntoo-ate it. was
this ever discussed ?
