nubbins`: mircea_popescu huge slab of steel = unreasonable heat-up
times, plus
the
thing'd fall over frontwards
mircea_popescu: then
they became reasonable instead, sometime around ww1/ww2. by now...
mircea_popescu: actually americans used
to be pretty honorable as far as
these
things go.
trinque: I doubt I have
the culture
to even
talk about honor but
that seems in
the ballpark
mircea_popescu: more points scored for japan
than everything
the us state dept did past decade put
together.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Apparently he popped a RAID earlier
this week and started his rebuild with
the site still up
nubbins`: SBC and 160GB hdd for $149, how
they makin money!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i somehow doubt
that guy has a problem with
traffic.
nubbins`: re: bitseed node, are
they using refurb HDDs or something?
assbot: Bug in forum software let people on while set offline DEFEATING
THE PURPOSE OF GOING OFFLINE
TO SPEED REBUILD! Now my IP only hence 403 msg
mircea_popescu: "just gotta find
the right zit
to pop, and out she goes"
mircea_popescu: you know, like
the american beauty notion
that somewhere in
the obnoxious bitch
that's anette benning
there's still
the girl
that flashed helicopters.
trinque: time
to
time I regress
to
the delusion
that somewhere within
the state's
there's still actual entrepreneurship
mircea_popescu: it doesn't have a policy
to
take out libtards and shoot
them. so it's doomed.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 13:08:20; nubbins`: a lot of
them don't make it
to japan
nubbins`: 30MB/s writes if it's up
to spec
assbot: Transcend

assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 13:06:50; asciilifeform:
the 'pathology' was
that
these people imagined
they wanted
to move
to japan, but what
they -actually- wanted was: -to have always lived
there-
nubbins`: danielpbarron assuming same bdb, i'd say
they're interchangeable
ascii_field: anyways i'ma do another buildroot
tonight.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the situaton is : usb not usable for storage for our purposes, sd maybe usable. if one wants guidance,
that's guidance, if one wants
to do
testing,
that's your falsifiable hypothesis.
trinque: that will someday be
the contracted form of "isn't"
trinque: I like how
they put 90mb/sec with a fucking asterisk on
the
thing's sticker
nubbins`: so you're saying a synced .bitcoin/ copied
to a usb2
thumb drive
trinque: seems
the above sd is intended for yeah, filming
mircea_popescu: usbs have never been seriously optimised for FILMING
TO
THEM
danielpbarron: maybe i did it wrong or something; USB3
theoretically should be very fast
nubbins`: like 11 minutes
to digest each new block sort of low speed?

nubbins`: danielpbarron i'm wondering same but re: usb
thumb
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you on
the other hand have
to appreciate
the ricochet benefit.
trinque: mostly interested in helping with
the OS
trinque: I am fine with doing
the
tortoise
test
danielpbarron: might be interesting
to see if an already synced .bitcoin directory is copied over
to SD card and see if it can simply keep up
ascii_field: sd card isn't
typically built for 100% duty cycle either
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you gotta appreciate
the following point : people have diff items hanging around
ther house
danielpbarron: store blockchain on SD card?
that will
take forever
to sync
mircea_popescu: trinque you should
try
the sd if you're doing research.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: how soon can we have it << i personally will dust it off
tonight and say where it's at before i
turn in for
the night
nubbins`: much of
today will be useful in
the future, i'm putting a pin in it
trinque: or should I get
this usm
thing
trinque: any reason not
to use pogo with an sd card for
the blockchain?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: basic idea is
that we mustn't ship with a kernel built by some random bozo
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> no one remembers? posted bins
too <<< i remember!
ascii_field: the build recipe for
the cross
to armv5 was called 'portatronic'
mircea_popescu: DON'T EVEN
THINK ABOUT firing
these in anger. You may lose limbs." << recall
that ?
ascii_field: no reason why
the latest recipe can't build on my cross-chain
mircea_popescu: i guess
that'll be useful for mod6 as a reminder,
tho i
think he knows.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field well, i can see a 32 brew of bitcoind coming soonish, is
this
tacklable
to go with it ?
ascii_field: since everyone seems
to be 'axe
time sword
time coooming clooser' i guess it's
time for me
to actually fix it
ascii_field: but kernel dies during boot and have not so far had
the
time
to determine why
jurov: i guess
these roles were fit for manually working males, "inconvenient" for office rats
mircea_popescu: pro
tip : not everything
that's inconvenient is bad. on
the fucking contrary.
mircea_popescu: the notion
taht
they are "destructive" for either men or women is so idiotic as
to wrap over
the ridiculous
threshold multiple
times.
mircea_popescu: "traditional" gender roles not only happen
to be correct, but
the costs of getting rid of
them are, simply put, societal collapse.
mircea_popescu: "Japanese society can be notoriously conservative when it comes
to gender roles. While
there is a lot of
talk about
the negative effects of imposing
traditional roles on women,
their restrictiveness and destructiveness for well-being are rarely mentioned in regard
to men."
mircea_popescu: <trinque> as if I don't have enough going on :p << hey, in my spare
time i'm designing a fucking game. up
to my neck in, of all
things, mysql!
danielpbarron: the purple has a usb2 port on
the
top next
to sata port
trinque: nubbins`: eh? what's
the difference in logo color?
nubbins`: blue logo if you want
to store blockchain on usb stick ;p
danielpbarron: trinque, yeah "Pogoplug Series 4"
the one with purple logo
nubbins`: we're assholes, yet here we are
trying
