adlai: I miswrote: All
this is more wasteful
than gold mining.
trinque: I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan, was pleased
to see him come up on
Trilema
mod6: Speaking of Blazing Saddles...
that movie is so damn funny. I must have watched it 20x as a kid. But what's interesting was recently I heard/read about
these "Animal
Trials" in Europe during
the middle-ages. Makes me
think of
that part where
they're hanging
that guy AND his horse. lol
mircea_popescu: "In 2010, Poole was reported
to have raised $625,000
to create a new online enterprise, Canvas.
The web site opened on January 31, 2011, and features digitally modified images uploaded by users who are required
to self-identify using Facebook Connect. In January 2014, Poole announced
that Canvas, and its DrawQuest feature, would be going out of business."
mod6: ``That's one small step for man, one giant leap for every, complaining, son of a bitch on
the face of
the Earth.'' << lol!
decimation: ebay's selection of old electronics seems
to
thin daily
decimation: asciilifeform: I couldn't find any of your fanless
thin clients on ebay
mod6: After
this one is done, I was going
to run a vanilla v0.5.3
to get a baseline from
that as well. And I will do
that, but did remember
that it /does/ at least require
the db patch
to achieve full sync.
mod6: there will be some flat lines in
the charts, but should still be able
to get some sort of picture showing us
the diff in network
traf & other utilization metrics.
mod6: im getting closer
to my v0.5.3.1-RELEASE perf full bc sync baseline being finished; currently on block 304969 -- it did oomkill
today
though, and didn't see it for like 8-9 hours :/
☟︎ mod6: thing was cranking
through
the keys nicely.
mod6: was just gonna check on
the phuctor stats
mod6: ah, ok.
thought /maybe/ i saw
that in
the log.
mod6: asciilifeform: ahh, cool, well, hopefully you'll get
to play 'em again
mod6: remember kings quest?
that was a 486 game iirc
mod6: thats when
they call in
the MOAR.jpg cake eating chick
to sit on his face.
mod6: ``Strong and
Tough Sentence''
mod6: just as a pre-lizard-hitler fabrication
that still works kinda
thing?
mod6: asciilifeform is gonna be like
the guy in cryptonomicon who has
the
technology museum
BingoBoingo: I get
the 486 isn't quite a rarity yet, but damn
mod6: oh no. yeah, it was probably
thrown up and down, left and right. gotta have a solid box & styrofoam enclosures.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> fool shipped
this 'relic' in a
thin cardboard box scarcely larger
than machine, via usps. << What
the fuck
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> shipping, apparently, kills even it. << As
time goes on
this issue will continue
to become problematic as boards become more brittle
mod6: well..
the disks didn't usually fair so well, but. yeah.
mod6: back
then
they built
that stuff
to last.
mod6: hmm, i had a PB back in like 94
that was like a P1 -- had heatsink only. might have had a case fan
tho.
mod6: you're not just going
to re solder all
the outputs?
mod6: so, basically, no. i'd like
to keep our current ramshackle.
mod6: haha, agree. and like i said `if we can figure out a scheme inwhich it would work', and
that would imply
that it would have
to somehow work better
than what currently ``works''.
mats: today i bought an iphone 5s
to hack on
mod6: <+jurov> mod6 ben_vulpes asciilifeform why don't we
throw out
the mailing list and move
to 8chan? <+asciilifeform> jurov: move
to 8chan? << share
the lsd ? << as much as
the
turdolator has been a pain for jurov, I've kinda grown fond of it. however, I'm open
to discuss it a bit if we can figure out a scheme inwhich it would work. mainly, ive just never been very into bbs.
trinque: furthermore
the separation of
the data from any particular program allows many programs
to all diddle
the same data happily in concert
trinque: wouldn't it be nice
to simply declare
the structure of an e-mail, and know
that anything acting upon anything which claims
to be an e-mail is going
to be of a given structure?
trinque: as it stands my email program has
to have logic about 'what if I didn't open an e-mail'
trinque: they're slaves which are very careful with
their
tasks, and which save
their masters
the
trouble of repeating
trivialities needlessly
BingoBoingo: Maybe nothing material unless you are rebuilding
the whole machine? DB's are just slaves with more shit in
their linen
trinque: maybe you want
to reload
those services after changing
the db
they use
trinque: when I say everything I mean "what are
the services which will care about
this change" not "what config files have
this string"
trinque: makes it absolutely impossible
to interrogate it for 'everything which makes reference
to
the hostname db.foo.baz'
trinque: /etc is abominable suck, akin
to every shitty scripting language coming up with
their unique snowflake of syntax for
the same
things
assbot: Logged on 16-05-2015 01:47:03;
trinque: imagine, nerds:
there are people who don't enjoy setting up servers like it's
their cherished
train set
mircea_popescu: they can show up in here like
the sec and everyone else.
mircea_popescu: who gives an everloving fuck about cracked. i don't even answer
their emails.
mircea_popescu: [9/18/14 12:08 AM] moot:
This meeting is one of
the most important we've ever had, EVERYONE NEEDS
TO BE HERE
mircea_popescu: well no, because gawker being broke obviously
there's nowhere less
to go.
trinque: yeah
that sucks ass; we have way better
tools for code
BingoBoingo: trinque: Sure
there is, it is called a /etc/ fileset
williamdunne: DigitalOcean however lets you stick up a cheap ass VPS for what, $5 a month and you can auto setup wordpress. If you can't work out how
to do
the initial basic step with SSH you have no business running a website
trinque: BingoBoingo: I "bashops" but
there's no excuse for not having something whereby you can make configuration something you bundle and give a name, reuse
williamdunne: Not
to mention 300 malware sites sharing your IP
williamdunne: The biggest problem with shared servers is
that so often
they are ridiculously underpowered and its hard
to
tell before you do so
BingoBoingo: Eh, cpanel's kinda
the shared server standard
trinque: imagine, nerds:
there are people who don't enjoy setting up servers like it's
their cherished
train set
☟︎ mircea_popescu is kinda
too lazy
to set up a different server sharing scheme
williamdunne: mircea_popescu:
Thanks but no
thanks, compiled code
trinque: barfed out
the last five of each
trinque: mircea_popescu: I added
trilema and contravex, and yeah I
think it's working
williamdunne: Well as said, once my pay comes in
tomorrow I'll stick scoop up on a server
trinque: neh deedbot- did, and I was mostly just seeing if
the feeds plugin worked
williamdunne: Assbot has
temporarily
taken over scoop functions
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Sure, but you forget
that while drunk it is easy
to make best friends
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: scoop's down! how'm i
to know
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: If your friends would sue you for
that you need
to get better friends
BingoBoingo: williamdunne:
That sounds like a great way
to get sued for all of
the nothing I have.
mircea_popescu: through
the "author"s misplaced expectation
that making such a claim will promote his production
