asciilifeform: here's a sample of convos b/w asciilifeform and heathens ( whom he knows irl, over yrs ) : 'why didja put it in UY, bw costs 4x moar than in usa and cia will still steal yer iron eventually' ; 'i have to do what!? to get server in the rack?!' etc☟︎
asciilifeform: ( the main trouble with heathens, is that they can't tell troo-rsa from figernail dirt; e.gl FG is just 'weird expensive version of intel rdrand' to them )
asciilifeform: trinque: q isn't re the pay, but the friction of 'loginism'-www
asciilifeform: trinque: really, you'd use a search box where you gotta log in, keep cookies, etc ?☟︎
asciilifeform has been racking brain to think of 'how to make pizarro hot in heathendom', so far no earthshaking breakthrough☟︎
asciilifeform: ... then again log is ~exact proxy for the above 'roots provided by L2'...
asciilifeform: ( possibly i missed a moar general item )
asciilifeform: iirc that was only for material linked from log?
asciilifeform: ( and yes i realize that the scheme contains an unsolved boojum, the obvious q of how to make it pay for itself )
asciilifeform: where N is determined by available disk
asciilifeform: ( a google-like 'index every flea on every mouse in every sewer' would be both infeasible and pointless; i was picturing something moar refined, e.g. 'N levels from roots provided by L2' )
asciilifeform: unrelated to anything specific , has mircea_popescu or other folx contemplated a tmsr www search machine ? because, potentially now there is a place for it to live
asciilifeform: when dupe mod is met with for a mod which has been previously phuctored, this registers as a 'broken key' event -- despite not being a 'new broken mod' event. this is correct operation. )
asciilifeform: ( to clarify ftr : a 'dupe mod' ( listed under /dupes ) is a mod that occurs in two or more distinct (hashwise, rather than fpwise, tho distinct fp is also possible on account of variant exponent under constant mod) pgp keyz.
asciilifeform: theoretically 'not even electronic' tho fuckers still collected 1 $ for every 1 $ as 'import deposit'
asciilifeform experimentally ordered , from shitazon, a qty of jumper cables for connection of FG to rockchippen, to be mailed to BingoBoingo , claims they will be received by may the 10th☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ( dun take as a flame necessarily ) but i gotta ask, how come the ttl cables stayed in usa when you went on the expedition ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: iirc there are 2 cables in stock. with mircea_popescu's permission i would also authorize the removal of 1 usbttl from the snsa spare machine.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform has a weakness for ye olde buenosaires )
asciilifeform: it was on asciilifeform's list of what-do , for expedition, but unfortunately didn't make it off the conveyor
asciilifeform: ( how long does it sail, 2 hours each way ? )☟︎
asciilifeform: incidentally mircea_popescu if you know of suitable shops in buenos aires -- apparently they've cancelled the 'us passport entry fee' nonsense, so BingoBoingo could potentially go on the boat and do a supply run there.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there was cnc mill in buenos aires also
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo put a heroic ( and continuing ) effort into uncovering the location of one, if such exists, so far with 0 result
asciilifeform: ( to be fair they aren't sold in electronics shops in usa either )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: confirm that nope, the 1 and only proper comp shop in montevideo, lacks any notion of such a thing
asciilifeform: he at present time does have with what to satisfy diana_coman's order tho
asciilifeform: speaking of which : ben_vulpes , you should have a qty of usb-ttl cables in your inventory, that came with your FG deal; plz mail a dozen of them to BingoBoingo ( with invoice from shitazon re their cost; even if he gets hit with import tax, should add up to maybe tenbux )
asciilifeform: re 'flush addr' -- prolly good practice for if trinque ever must hit the red switch
asciilifeform: mod6: heathen wots aren't particularly worth the paper they're written on imho
asciilifeform: also prolly should make explicit, that heathens who colocate iron and terminate (through whatever reason) account, must pay the cost of transporting it back, should they wish to regain it
asciilifeform: i dun dispute the principle; but gotta actually lay it out in the l0gz, and in such a way that takes into account the ease of changing faces
asciilifeform: i suppose if adlai or karpeles or whoever wants to put on a mask and pretend to be a eulora-playing tits chix for years, there's no real damage☟︎
asciilifeform: e.g. 'try and sybil your way around the banhammer, be banished with 0refund'
asciilifeform: rright, but gotta nail down ahead of time, in writing,
asciilifeform: ( if newborn zeros are welcome, but -1 are not )
asciilifeform: ( tho seems to me that the sad folx could easily cheat, make new key )
