trinque: btw, I will be traveling from tomorrow until wed. in-bot wallet ops will be working fine during that time, but I'll be unable to process withdrawals while out. any queued will be sent wed night. ☟︎

lobbes: I actually didn't notice until later; then I thought 'eh not worth worry about'
diana_coman: o.O lobbes sorry about that; I read "total" indeed; do say it on the spot though!
mircea_popescu: trinque nevermind i fucked it up. sexylucy gracias por signalar, tenia un error. disculpe la demora.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 18:55 mircea_popescu: i dunno, lessee. repayable in service charges / convertible to equity by mutual consent / convertible to one year guaranteed note at present fiat value in any case. how about that ?
shinohai: Meanwhile, on yours all the "Hot" articles combined total less than I could make for writing a single Qntra. (maybe 2)
BingoBoingo: Roughly the same range, and Yeah, I don't see reason not too. Should have a bunch more numbers early next week.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've got NUMBERS!!! http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/gZb24/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: after they come to, she's like "hey, i thought you were going to put in just the head ?"
trinque: I'm over here eagerly awaiting a printout, first non-hand-keyed withdrawal
mircea_popescu: if i dun have it i can't alter the article so they can't have to make wallets etc.\

a111: Logged on 2017-10-13 01:54 mircea_popescu: trinque don't sweat it, she'll do it when i tell her to, what. tomorrow, monday, whatever.
mircea_popescu: i don't expect there's much anyone can do. so far, we gather dataz.
asciilifeform: and i have nfi what do.
mircea_popescu: local fucktards for instance explained to me "they can't receive wires from abroad." i'm like... so got any rostipollo then ?
asciilifeform: again if mircea_popescu , diana_coman , or anybody else here, wants to suggest a replacement dongle -- i'm all ears. or better yet if we didn't even ship a dongle, every machine owner has responsibility to find some way to have a working serial port, it is not properly a problem in the scope of FG
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-20#1727264 << aww, the things i missed. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-20 17:44 asciilifeform: i picked pl2303 because it is the most afaik widely supported, but apparently not even it worx everywhere
a111: Logged on 2017-10-20 18:52 phf: a programmer had a serial problem, "i know, i'll use usb to serial", now he had two problems
asciilifeform: also i'm open to shipping something other than pl2303, if anyone has suggestions. ftdi is BANNED because 1) it costs 10x moar than pl2303 2) it is american/tw 3) it has rewritable fw that cannot be disabled
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I might be wrong on this but my current understanding is that it's my machine that has the *older* rather than the "required" newer driver
asciilifeform: and i will NOT make a rng that doesn't work with msdos box
asciilifeform: i will not make rngs that DEMAND 2way protocol and usb micro ( with the rewritable firmware nonsense ACTIVE AT ALL TIMES , and 50MB pdf of liquishit spec with holes )
asciilifeform: phf: i fucking hate usbtoserial dongles
phf: a programmer had a serial problem, "i know, i'll use usb to serial", now he had two problems ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( i'dve installed onetimefused cpld, but IT DOES NOT EXIST on the market )
asciilifeform: i dun like having rng that is physically capable of putting out nonrandom.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, yes; I was trying to get that through but I'm possibly too tired for it: using screen results in constant stream of data
phf: i assumed by http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-20#1727227 she means that there's some kind of output ☝︎
asciilifeform: i don't see a mention of anything ~appearing~ in diana_coman's screen -- merely that it doesn't barf from nonexistent tty
phf: well, if her stty is identical to whatever screen does, she should end up in an identical broken state, i.e. getting bits from dd same way she's getting bits from screen
asciilifeform: i've been thinking for entire year what is to be done about this, but have conceived of no solution other than THROW AWAY BROKEN OS OMFG
asciilifeform: phf: i suspect this will do 0, in buggy pl2303 driver i encountered, it's the bandwidth and flowcontrol setttings that didn't take. but other than that adapter behaves normally
diana_coman: hm, should have somewhere; will dig and try I guess
asciilifeform: i picked pl2303 because it is the most afaik widely supported, but apparently not even it worx everywhere ☟︎
asciilifeform: at this point i'd say that ubuntu is not a linux and explicitly unsupported...
diana_coman: yes, canonical hence why I'm trying to get to the bottom of this
diana_coman: I switched this whole board to yet another machine , with its cable too; there it works
diana_coman: asciilifeform, 1. I tried already 3 other cables; unlikely all three borked
asciilifeform: ( i expect that most purchasers throw away the usb cables )
asciilifeform: entirely possible that you got a defective cable, i do not test the cables, only the FG
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I'm not yet even there basically; dd simply hangs
diana_coman: guess I'll go through the full list and at least see if there is anything that might help
shinohai: Indeed .... been a long time since I messed with CentOS so I may be wrong here ....
shinohai: In CentOS I think one has to pass -ixon or -ixoff to turn flow control on/off
diana_coman: will dig some more later I guess; unless someone knows this already
mircea_popescu: i would guess, since screen sees it fine, that your problem is later in the flow. maybe the windows manager fucks it up for you ?
diana_coman: hm, it sees it/reports it fine as far as I can tell; pl2303 attached to ttyUSB0; ehci_hcd
diana_coman: otherwise I guess I'll have to figure out what screen does exactly that it works, ugh
mircea_popescu: i r halp!
diana_coman: I might add that I *did* run the stty command first ofc; AND reported settings afterwards seemed fine
diana_coman: on Centos 6.8 (64bits) trying to read fg's output from ttyUSB0 with dd hangs on most occasions (erratically it will work but I haven't figured out when exactly); at the same time, a "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 " works perfectly fine <-- anybody knows what this is about?
asciilifeform: i go tomorrow, but did not want to save this for last hour.
asciilifeform: still i/o-bound
asciilifeform: it's ~entirely i/o-bound
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-19#1727102 << I am still looking for both higher density pcengines apartments as well as beefier AMD boards ☝︎
diana_coman: hah, I can pass it on to his father then !!
asciilifeform: i have perelman's 'Живая математика', ended up making the cardano grille , making & breaking the usual caesar cipher, etc
diana_coman: but for some reason it's still my father's oscilloscope I remember better from that age (5), lol
diana_coman: I think there'll be some crypto play in this house, lol; tbh as a child this part of "secret" messages was terribly fun even as idea only
diana_coman: asciilifeform, good idea actually; I suspect he needs more play with the whole point of throwing coin as it is ; part of what was difficult was precisely the "but why do you want to do that?"
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Do you routinely take hime to the good playgorund (i.e. the hardware store)?
phf: diana_coman: right, i guess it doesn't have any symbolic value, when there's no underlying concept associated with it
phf: asciilifeform: i wanted to add your mpi to btcbase patches, but realized that it's not a valid vpatch, since it doesn't have a genesis. i'll add an exception to mechanisms (right now it just 404's and all kinds of broken, basically), but!
shinohai: "I am disappoint Mom, took this out to pasture and it did not fuck goat"
diana_coman: asciilifeform I guess I can vouch now for FG being "safe for kids" - 5 yo spotted one on my desk and asked the usual ton of questions BUT he figured out by himself that "it has a manual too, look!"
hanbot: anyway having spent a few years fulfilling copywriting specs i'll admit a fair amount of the work was absorbed in weighing whether a given spec-producer seemed likely to pull the penny-revision stuff
BingoBoingo: I thought thos were synonyms
hanbot: ^ in latest trilema, i mean, mircea_popescu
hanbot: Untill and unless I / Until
phf: i.e. wigger, otaku, etc
phf: i think i heard it called a "cultural honkey"
mircea_popescu: yeah, i suppose so.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman well for his good fortune he's married to some local chick, so i expect he'd just you know.
mircea_popescu: i suppose, yeah.
diana_coman: that might be I guess; he certainly does write at least more than the 100 words thrown at the blank page half-randomly, certainly; not so sure if there is anything more than that
mircea_popescu: has the occasional* not original i mean.
shinohai: http://archive.is/ICNd9 <<< I'd almost bet 1 BTC some redditard suggests they put this on "The Ethereum blockchain!!!" and it wouldn't happen.
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's a case of "i came up with this theory which is mine".
mircea_popescu: but whatever, "i can't see how people travelled before they had electric cars or why would a wife benefit from the occasional beating"
asciilifeform: i can't think of any explanation that doesn't involve substances.
asciilifeform: i pawed through the manual , looking for a 'do not install backup mem batt, we put that hole in while drunk' but found nope.
a111: Logged on 2015-02-21 01:19 mircea_popescu: "she's been going through 6-7k each month since autumn, but i get to go visit p diddy whenever i feel like it. it's a wash"
mircea_popescu: i don't credit the "oh, marketing is the only employee with ROI, everyone else just contributes to costs, marketing contributes to revenue". somebody's gotta make the shit you package and sell.
mircea_popescu: hey, a slim minority of the girls actually market their own produce to the point of obtaining cash for it. i see no serious problems with this situation.
asciilifeform: i knew a d00d who ended up in this typical meat grinder : he supplied 100% of the income, she -- 100% of the debt
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes from experience i find the girls pick much better hookers than i do.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ianal but i was under the impression that anything within nato reich with yer name on it somewhere, is Officially confiscatable
ben_vulpes: i need a fiatcorp to make that happen like i need an uncooled 42u cabinet
ben_vulpes: "baby, it is moments like this that i sincerely regret not just signing a declaration and broadcasting it to the republic"
mircea_popescu: apparently if you're a free market individualist without any regard for "the state", you're suspekt. news at 11 i guess.
mircea_popescu: i have never met in my entire life an ethnic romanian who was a competent merchant. not once, not one, not ever.
mircea_popescu: i think it was a different one.
asciilifeform: also cluj was for a time hungarian, i had nfi
asciilifeform: i suspect mircea_popescu might have much better result if he, famous ro d00d, writes
mircea_popescu: come to think i actually like this guy. asciilifeform see if he wants to join ? does he have a contact ?
mircea_popescu: well... the 20something hos tried in the early 2010s, which is how i ended up sucked in.
