TomServo: pogoplug and such I understand.. but how does it factor in
the cpanel debate?
decimation: I predict
that in
the future
this whole era of 'multi-core' manufacturing will be seen as crazy
decimation: other
than "do more of what we have been doing for 30 years"
decimation: and it's painfully obvious
that intel and friends have no idea how
to actually make use of
their sea of
transistors
decimation: note,
transistor sizes have still shrunk, but clock rates haven't gone up
TomServo: +asciilifeform | since quitting bsd ('04) << I'd love
to hear more about
this. Or why
the preference for linux?
decimation: "IOW, all
the people who say
that it's about avoiding context switches are probably just full of shit. It's not about context switches, it's about bad user-level code."
mircea_popescu: "Thank you very much;
this is working very fine now. Great script and glad
to get it installed. Success!"
mircea_popescu: "At root whm go
to Main >> Cluster/Remote Access >> Setup Remote Access Key
Then click Generate New Key and retry
to install"
mircea_popescu: "Tried
to install and got
this error message: “access key doesn’t exist create it in WHM” What
to do?
Thank you."

that once
they are not in
the job any more
they realize
they don't have nearly as many friends as
they
thought
they did.
The smarter ones do know
this. And
that's why so many[?] hang onto power. "

then I heard
this podcast:
http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/02/glenn_reynolds.html << "Guest: It's funny--one of my friends, who has been a long-term, upper level bureaucrat in Washington said
to me his favorite phenomenon
to see is
these people coming
through
these usually politically-appointed jobs and, he says:
They
think everybody loves
them. And
then
they leave
the job and
they realize
that eve
decimation: and of course it is very much in bull's interest
to pretend
BingoBoingo: What socialism
truly deserves is
taking it from a duck of extraordinary size
decimation: well,
the government believes
they can make
the bull like
them
mircea_popescu: apparently easier
to hallucinate "a relationship" with
the bull.
mircea_popescu: governments everywhere always prefer
the bull in
that equation.
tho
their ideal is a herd of goats.
mircea_popescu: would you prefer being raped by
ten
thousand slimy worms
decimation: the corruption in selling physical goods
to usg is nowhere near
the size of
the corruption of 'selling services'
mircea_popescu: haliburton didn't even bother, just "lost" a
trillion.
mircea_popescu: blackwater "sold
to
the goverment" by jumpiong
through
the following hoops : "if you send anyone
to investigate us, we'll just kill
them"
decimation: "I do
think
that government often
tilts
the scale in favor of large organizations.
The high fixed cost of regulatory compliance is one factor. Government has been a key customer in industries like aerospace, information
technology, and finance, and
the fixed costs of selling
to government are very high, because of all of
the hoops
that you have
to jump
through."
BingoBoingo: "burndown" is
the only solution
to certain problems in horticulture
mircea_popescu: decimation
that is not why large corporations exist. large corporations exist because it is cheaper for
the socialist state
to interact with larger items
than with smaller items.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'What's a manager
to do with a heap of stuff
that isn't managed and doesn't wish
to be?' 'Burn it ?' (from mircea_popescu's site) << pure gold <<
This is how I've been getting exercise
these past couple weeks. Shovel and glyphosate +
troclopyr... Actual fire comes later
decimation: "Of course, large corporations do exist.
That is because as clumsy as
they are,
they can still be less clumsy
than
the alternative, which is
to break a corporation into a network of contractually related divisions. "
mike_c: changing
the date format helped. went from AP style "Dec. 12, 2012", "April 12, 2012"
to more simple short format "Dec 12, 2012", "Apr 12, 2012"
mike_c: k. i also fixed
the big wot graph cutting off some names on
the sides
mircea_popescu: modsecurity ITSELF is buggy when interacting with mod_remoteip.
the devs understand
the problem about as well as you'd expect of
the php folk.
mike_c: yes, it would be, but
then don't I get into arguments with
the europeans?
BingoBoingo: Nah, what's missing is me cataloguing all of
the plants growning in
the front flowerbeds, looking
them up, and discovering
the bulk of
them are cardiotoxic.
mircea_popescu: yeah,
thinking about it hey mike_c maybe cheaper
than investigating is altering
the date format
to numeric ?
mircea_popescu: i'm bracing myself for
the one day when we discover unequal fives somewhere on
the internet.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: you're not crazy. sorting
the
timestamps works in chrome, not in FF. I'll investigate.
decimation: yet somehow it's
the defacto standard for 'vpn'
decimation: asciilifeform: have you ever actually
tried
to grok ipsec? it's a nightmare
trinque: probably done like shit; was written on
the can after all
decimation: aws does seem
to have some degree of ddos protection
mircea_popescu: the only worse alternative
to
the worlds 2nd most common hoster seems
to be...
the world's MOST common.
BingoBoingo: When did AWS overtake Godaddy.com for
that honor?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Normal in
terms of distance from your box
to median boxen
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo not in
the slightest. just
that drones are cheaper
than people. certainly with
the us legal system such as it is. see mp's piece on 'how
to go out in a blaze of glory'
mircea_popescu: a further
three day experiment in
the "linux is worthless and broadly unusable" meme. i guess it needed more documentation.
BingoBoingo starting
to believe
that Stan's gentoo build is so far from normal "linux" might as well be called Stannix nao
mircea_popescu: in
the sense
that is it still usable as a cpanel box or will i have
to have it reflushed.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I
think you underestimate
the potential drone casualties
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Mostly moving
to retirement
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, is it at least crunching
the numbers ?
pete_dushenski: dropping packages ordered online and heading back
to homebase in
the country far, far away
BingoBoingo: Back
to just
the normal shootings, police retreated, longtime businesses closing up and leaving
BingoBoingo: Ferguson's been mostly
tamed by Sharptoon and other FBI folk
pete_dushenski: in
terms of street violence, dead cops, local politics.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Largely refugees came over in
the 1990's colonized south city.
The generation of Bosnians being
targeted were largely
the kids...
The older ones seemed very unhappy about
that...
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo and where's ferguson at
these days ? i haven't heard much out of
there recently.
mircea_popescu: "I
tried
to
take
the conversation out of feelings and into logic by claiming
that" << roosh is a fucktard srsly.
mircea_popescu: "Instantly, I knew I was walking into a
trap. I looked around, half hoping for a hug or some assurance
that everything was going
to be okay"
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I
think some hmility was imposed when some of
the black kids got
too amped up on "kill whitey" and started going after Bosnians. Seems
they learned better
than
to do
that within a month or so.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo mainly in
terms of st louis being known for murders and crimes, and
that a proper boiling over of
the
tensions between police and citizens could bring about positive resolution, whoever 'wins'
pete_dushenski: eh. st louis could use a kick in
the pants from what i hear.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: At least Ferguson is decently removed from
the St Louis city center
pete_dushenski: "Orioles will play Wednesday's game vs White Sox with NO audience in
the stands." << heh. one for BingoBoingo.
