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.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 13:21:38; nubbins`: the $300 one has... a domestic oven element. http://imgur.com/KJqDivg
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-03-2015#1067616 << would not this problem be adequately solved with a huge slab of steel / al / we ?

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?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i see you got the boards delivert ?
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: i loved texas in 2004ish. san antonio esp.
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
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-03-2015#1067551 << which is why japan even still exists anymore. they made it to california, that imploded, now they're moving to texas and places. i was kinda snickering at trinque's explosion yest, bexause well... texas won't survive the idiots either.
nubbins`: 30MB/s writes if it's up to spec
assbot: Transcend TS128GSDU3 128 GB High Speed 10 UHS-3 Flash Memory Card 95/60 MB/s: Amazon.ca: Computers & Tablets ... ( http://bit.ly/1HBmnmL )
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-
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-03-2015#1067542 << for the record, moving is easy, but a year later and with tons and tons of support and roots and whatnot i still throw almost-daily tantrums
nubbins`: danielpbarron assuming same bdb, i'd say they're interchangeable
ascii_field: anyways i'ma do another buildroot tonight.
danielpbarron: hm, that's my most up-to-date copy
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.
mircea_popescu: lol trinque
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
danielpbarron: and no, i haven't tried that
nubbins`: so you're saying a synced .bitcoin/ copied to a usb2 thumb drive
mircea_popescu: but as the guys say, maybe you find the magic stick.
danielpbarron: maybe it's a bad thumb drive i have
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?
assbot: Amazon.com: PNY Elite Performance 64GB High Speed SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Up to 90MB/sec Flash Card - P-SDX64U1H-GE: Computers & Accessories ... ( http://bit.ly/1HBkgiU )
mircea_popescu: nubbins` that's tested and sucks.
nubbins`: danielpbarron i'm wondering same but re: usb thumb
mircea_popescu: let the man fucking play with things already
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you on the other hand have to appreciate the ricochet benefit.
trinque: mostly interested in helping with the OS
ascii_field: but -no one- must take my word for it
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
mircea_popescu: so it takes 6 months to sync instead of 4. oookay ?
ascii_field: sd card isn't typically built for 100% duty cycle either
mircea_popescu: and time is not much of a constraint here.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you gotta appreciate the following point : people have diff items hanging around ther house
danielpbarron: the 5400 rpm sata drive takes long enough
ascii_field: i tried this
danielpbarron: store blockchain on SD card? that will take forever to sync
mircea_popescu: we've not tried it much.
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?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i said that above eh.
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!
mircea_popescu: ascii_field so back to os topic.
mircea_popescu: forget the 32 bit issue, mod6 is working on that.
ascii_field: yes, trying to describe from beginning
ascii_field: the build recipe for the cross to armv5 was called 'portatronic'
ascii_field: though it was used in the bin
mircea_popescu: it'll have to come off.
mircea_popescu: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT firing these in anger. You may lose limbs." << recall that ?
mircea_popescu: "PLEASE REMEMBER - these are for research use only.
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.
ascii_field: no one remembers? posted bins too
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
mircea_popescu: jurov i dun see there's a difference.
jurov: i guess these roles were fit for manually working males, "inconvenient" for office rats
mircea_popescu: ok, so tell me about osen.
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: and the woman's butt has been spanked.
mircea_popescu: http://bturn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Soviet-sex-12.jpg << notice the male sex bits are crowned
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: nm, that's not a flute << bwahaha
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
nubbins`: boots from SD tho!
danielpbarron: also, the blue one cannot boot from usb
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
