asciilifeform: the issue is as fixed as it gets. i posted the grep item as example of how to verify, without even a vtron, that nothing has been slipped in from under the table.

asciilifeform: afaik i dun have any other unfixed vpatches.

asciilifeform: i recommend other folx to look at their vdiff, and see that it does not suffer from timestampism.

asciilifeform: i tested with my vtron, as pictured in diana_coman's tarball, and it worx.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol i'm all ears if you have better name for lam-par

asciilifeform: pretty sure i did ?

asciilifeform: i tried it with diana_coman's copy of asciilifeform's last vtron, and it has correct barfola

asciilifeform: mod6's is actually correct, though i'd prefer it barf loudly and with pomp, rather than silently.

asciilifeform: i can sign a vpatch of ~the genesis~ per se

asciilifeform: this was one of those pieces i cooked using obsolete vdiff

asciilifeform: looks like i found the boojum

asciilifeform: i think diana_coman has the actual vpatch

asciilifeform: ( at the time i was not yet ready to say properly fuckyou to my heathen readers, who had nfi what is v and did not want to )

asciilifeform: i prolly oughta remove that link

asciilifeform: i considered to ask 'a hundy of what' but decided not to

asciilifeform: since that item i've avoided stuffing'em into tarballs, it doesn't help but often trips up various automated items like phf's

asciilifeform: now i recall also that phf had some trouble at first eating the thing, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-15#1739113 and elsewhere. but i can't seem to find in the log whether he ever said what the problem was, and how fixed. ☝︎

asciilifeform: diana_coman: post plaintext one, possibly ben_vulpes or mod6 or someone else, will notice what is the cause before i do

asciilifeform: ty diana_coman , i'ma check it out as soon as hands free

asciilifeform: i unfortunately will not be able to touch this in next few hrs.

asciilifeform: what i did :

asciilifeform: i redownloaded own item just now, and verified the sig successfully

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: man in sov restaurant, gets up to go piss, leaves a note on his table : 'i have spat into this soup, do not steal' . returns, to finds scribble under his note : '...i spat in it also, yours, anon'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i cannot resist to ask, where do i buy some 'arbitrary iron' ? right now i only got concrete iron ☟︎

asciilifeform: i have nfi whether the ipnoje thing , actually worx, or to what extent.

asciilifeform: in re commercial lisps , i've used lispworks, franz ( allegro ) , and bolix.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-03#1475471 << i take it did not come to this ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: i dun recall specifically whom i left out , of this list, but that's more or less all of the major players.

asciilifeform: ( i have not tried intel's, simply cannot bring myself to buy. but tried afaik every major other . )

asciilifeform: i have been using the konsoomer version of similar 'disks' , for some yrs, this type has created the fewest headaches in asciilifeform's machineroom, among 4 various vendors'

asciilifeform: they're quarter-TBs , such as are sold for industrial temps, '10yr warranty' ( to this day i have nfi how one might go about claiming warranty on a hdd , but we digress ) etc

asciilifeform: i thought this was clear from the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-05#1747116 picture ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( i.e. if it was intended to be a signature -- it evaluates to 'this is rubbish'; if cryptogram -- ditto; etc )

asciilifeform: that's what i suspected

asciilifeform: ( it was also, i suppose , a rings, earrings, pit.. )

asciilifeform: i suppose could add a small '4' , a handful of industries ( pcb electroplating shops ) but that's about it.

asciilifeform: i know of 3 types who want -- 1) crowned heads, largely from inertia 2) gypos, of various nations 3) idjits who 'i'ma usgproof me savings with magic metal'

asciilifeform: ook it wiht me to Russia - Vladivostok, where I was informed even by the Sperbank branch, that they had no precious metals assayist, for all they knew it could be fake, and thus they too refused to buy it. Luckily for me, I had a private backup for funds, but - it could have been dicey. '

asciilifeform: from orlolcommentz: ' Much to my surprise, it doesn't translate internationally as easily as one might think. I have a - very - little gold. When I wanted to sell some here in Ecuador early this year, I discovered that in fact there is no-one in Ecuador who buys gold. Moreover, there is also no-one who would take it back to the Perth Mint [Australia] from whence it came. DHL and Fed-Ex only move papers!! There are no couriers. !! I t

asciilifeform: ( do i gotta explain why, or is it obvious )

asciilifeform: i simply dun fully buy into the 'gnarly source is exactly same level of retardation as straight microshitization'. it isn't quite same thing.

asciilifeform: 'open' contemplated above is the very basic 1990s sense, where 'can i take source, and build for my mips r4000' etc.

asciilifeform: apeloyee: i'm leaning to using named arguments AND nonoverloaded shift operators.

asciilifeform: if i correctly understood.
