asciilifeform: and this is supposed to be clear to a baby ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wtf, i'd fail this test even now. who's to say that 'climber' is really being 'helped' by being pushed up
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Ah, no those books aren't albums. Just pulp. Titles on the spines look great on the bookshelf though. Cover art isn't bad either
assbot: The Last Psychiatrist: The Question Isn't Why Do Babies Do It ... ( http://bit.ly/1EGMVyh )

asciilifeform: netbsd is unusable unless+until this is fixed
asciilifeform: in the loose sense where what happened at bell had anything to do with the throne
asciilifeform: orwell more or less spot on - nothing happened in the 20th c. except as nominally decreed in some mega-empire or other
asciilifeform: (also can talk about att being every bit as 'usg' as any ministry, at the time of being a national telecom megamonopoly)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not so much earlier as to be alien or ancient. I mean they were propping up dementia guy from the TV ads as a figurehead
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i can already picture 'teh phyootur' where the ada-on-bare-metal meta-foundation(tm) is laughing at us << Irony of USG sponsored Ada saving the world from C is delicious
BingoBoingo: Old desktop + OpenBSD pf = loadbalancer sort of thing/
asciilifeform: i can already picture 'teh phyootur' where the ada-on-bare-metal meta-foundation(tm) is laughing at us
BingoBoingo: mod6: You know once 0.5.3.x stabilizes there's probably an opportunity for driving utilization by submitting it to various *BSD Ports trees as bitcoind-LTS
mircea_popescu: "leaving the us to go chase the republic ? ship me your shit. ill store or sell it"
mircea_popescu: add a storage service to it, etc.
danielpbarron: i had that idea last year
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: might be one of those 'requires fortress' things
danielpbarron: even with the extra charge?
nubbins`: overall slightly cheaper per unit than ordering one
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: that was precisely why i wanted the sata feature, yes
nubbins`: danielpbarron in fact, if i order two pogos on ebay, it automatically adds import charges
danielpbarron: that's the idea / that most people probably have a harddrive they can rip out of an old laptop
mircea_popescu: me too. i guess nobody cared.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> so i'm banning both clam shitcoin and cryptsy from bitbet. anyone want to argue either ? << Surprised Cryptsy didn't hit the shitlist earlier
nubbins`: it really is only like another $8 for the purple logo'd one, hey?
mod6: last note: this is all predicated on the fact that one would have run the v0.0.8 perl script to patch the R.I. So you might need to alter line 62 to point to the correct bitcoin build directory.
mircea_popescu: so i'm banning both clam shitcoin and cryptsy from bitbet. anyone want to argue either ?
danielpbarron: eh, unless you're getting more than one it's probably not worth it anyway for just 15 bucks
nubbins`: you mailing me ten packaged pogos would raise eyebrows at customs
nubbins`: i don't think there's any special duty or anything, just american electronics websites usually charge limbs to .ca
nubbins`: how would the shippers know?
danielpbarron: i mean from me to you
danielpbarron: how would they know?
danielpbarron: what is shipping from US to CA?
mod6: then :wq and re-run the script
nubbins`: well, no, maybe the same
mod6: for the vi-impared, if you run the script as-is, and you hit that weird issue as I did, simply start up vi and run this
nubbins`: right, someone mentioned the exercise in patience i have awaiting me
mod6: sorry I didn't get a chance to clean that up before I left.
mod6: anyway, the foundation will publish a polished script sometime during the first few weeks of march.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: and which one was that
nubbins`: sadly, the cheapest pogo a canadian can land is $25usd
mircea_popescu: cuz you liked teh woman, foo.
asciilifeform: and would any of you care to do this instead
asciilifeform: bad enough that i'm apparently chasing a low-level bit diddling bug in a sata driver for a godforsaken chip on a godforsaken os
mod6: be advised that lines 4, 6 & 8 of that script need to be tuned to your local environment!
mircea_popescu: problem is... not that straughtforward fix
mod6: the static build script seems to exit after line 53 for some reason, haven't had time to debug. if one should figure out a workaround/fix/patch for that, that'd be much appreciated. otherwise I can fix myself when I'm back.
asciilifeform: because having it there - it is just unforgivable idiocy
asciilifeform: just like the memory leak
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo et al: the way i'm thinking now, the 'sync from one node at a time' thing will have to be killed with fire before 0.5.3/pogo (or otherwise) is given to civilians
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nope, syncing "in the wild" to make sure it can. Looking like it will be a sub 2 week sync time so happy with that
mircea_popescu: decimation: Bill Nye identifies 'regular software writers' << afaik this view was never controversial. i was kinda surprised to see people react to my ocasional statement to the effect with total shock.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: have you tried restricting it to one known-good node on the lan to sync from ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I honestly and humbly lack the faculties of knowledge necessary to determine such
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: if i had build that thing properly static, it would not be an issue
asciilifeform: is it connecting preferentially to nodes in afghanistan, ip over dead goat ?
danielpbarron: so is it possible that i need to recompile my bitcoind, and this debian install is just fine? and for some reason ArchLinux doesn't mind?
asciilifeform: on the wire
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what's the actual transfer rate ?
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1: ytview chargs 6000 dollars << you're prolly going to end up stuck around that sort of price, quarter cent per k, whatever.
BingoBoingo: Less than 6 months left for 0.7.2 WTF to finish syncing
mod6: I can post it if you wanna use it though. the hope was to have a fixed one here by sometime next week.
mod6: this was never actually posted publically yet. there is some very strange bjam error that doesn't allow the bash script to continue automatically. if one runs it, then you'll have to comment out the build lines for openssl, bdb, and boost and re-run.
nubbins`: o, wait. there we go.
nubbins`: is the pitfall incomplete search results?
asciilifeform: ^ on the pitfalls of reconnecting that which has been yanked
asciilifeform: !s the lifeboat mutiny
asciilifeform: i'd like to learn why
asciilifeform: incidentally, seems like all the bsd folks disable the cpu cache on pogo
danielpbarron: the same binary that works on ArchLinux
danielpbarron: i'm using the binary i cross-compiled on my gentoo machine
nubbins`: you're not trying to compile it on the pogo itself, are you?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: those were -wrong-
danielpbarron: not that this is even what's gonna be used ultimately; i thought i'd just try it out real quick and it ended up becoming an obsession
mircea_popescu: nubbins`> no, actually useful enough around the house that i'll need to get a second one for tinkering << ahahaha
danielpbarron: and that's after i added a 'testing' repository to the sources list and upgraded libc
nubbins`: didn't alf post some binaries to the ml?
nubbins`: no, actually useful enough around the house that i'll need to get a second one for tinkering
danielpbarron: nubbins`, did you ever get that to work?
mats: hm, i learned today you can prepend your prompt with a ':' and have a ';' at the end, it will ignore whats in between so you can just copy and paste lines right from your terminal
mircea_popescu: so where's your twerking vid ?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: yes, i think it was linked here a while ago

danielpbarron: can you try to condense your thoughts into single lines?
indiancandy1: and tats costly
indiancandy1: kinda thing
indiancandy1: but the media wont pick it up
ben_vulpes: go fuck a television company executive, wrap him around your finger, leverage like that.
ben_vulpes: don't fuck around trying to get the attention of interns in tv companies, that's not going to fly.
