danielpbarron: the old-fashioned laptop spinny drive arrive today
asciilifeform: by no means is anyone encouraged to take my word for things.
asciilifeform: (for one thing, you are liable to nuke your ssd, if you have one)
danielpbarron: i'll take your word for it :p
asciilifeform: go ahead, try it
danielpbarron: is this something swap space would solve?
asciilifeform: but has not solved the central problem of pogo
asciilifeform: the bastard patch made the thing actually usable on pc for the first time (in my view)

asciilifeform: is the only place where fBlock is true ☟︎
asciilifeform: in turn,
mod6: hmm. i remember this bit of code in main
asciilifeform: but this doesn't tell us anything earth-shaking, yet
mod6: I see that.
mod6: yeah, two seperate runs

mircea_popescu: however, her term's about over, after which...
mircea_popescu: yeah it was one of the numerous points making a juicy press story
cazalla: figured it was new aspect to that story, don't remember reading in logs he planned to arrest that chick
mircea_popescu: a that. yeah.
mircea_popescu: how i learned twenty one languages twenty one times in twenty one days
asciilifeform: some wag had a (unfortunately parodic) 'learn to code in 21 years'
mircea_popescu: "my twenty-one days dating twenty-one twenty-one years old twenty-one day book authors"
mircea_popescu: "my twenty-one days dating twenty-one twenty-one day book authors"
asciilifeform: i have this notion that the original was the cpp one.
decimation: learn to write twenty-one days books in just twenty-one days
mircea_popescu: i am the one that sold the ukalele guggenheim bridge in abudja
asciilifeform: bridge like a pro in twenty-one days.
asciilifeform: on the days when b-a noobs are unmolested, presumably someone else is being serviced
mircea_popescu: hey, want this bridge btw ? i'm selling it.
decimation: well, presumably he has other people to harass for profit
mircea_popescu: in the sense that a nineteen year old with a very messy room is a persistent masturbator, sure.
decimation: I'm not sure what point he is making, other than helping sort newbies here
asciilifeform: how much persistence does it take to leave an automaton going.
decimation: mircea_popescu: the guy is persistant, I would grant that though
mircea_popescu: chumps are routinely downed for their troubles. but "dunno what it was ?!?!?!"
assbot: O hai let me wanna-be! pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1zdrrJj )
asciilifeform: which also helps to explain the disinterest
mircea_popescu: because the webwhrores charge for talking to them
asciilifeform: they also are not especially hard to scan for in the wild
mircea_popescu: and anyone else a) doesn't hjave the money and b) would just be happy to send you support tickets
mircea_popescu: decimation but the people who could do it could get it anyway
decimation: maybe someone should compile the list of broken devices and sell it on -otc?
mircea_popescu: if you can do it with a toothbrush you could ... restore art, or make your own, or be a surgeon or etc.
asciilifeform: that has to be it.
mircea_popescu: like, toothbrush sidewalk cleaners.
mircea_popescu: there's this very narrow lost demographic, mostly at the periphery of the world, made up of kids smart enough to be able to do it but dumb enough to not have anything better to do.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well yes. but it also appears that no one, anywhere, gives a shit
asciilifeform: by sending precisely the same kind of forged packets the idiot sends
asciilifeform: re: ddos: i'm still at a loss at how snmp/ntp amplification ddosnets can carry on existing without a 'tragedy of the commons' situation - recall, anyone here could in principle invoke the chumpnet at any time
cazalla: might raise the eyebrow of vexual, think we're the only 2 aussies..

mircea_popescu: "driving adoption" the reddit way.
mircea_popescu: cazalla can't even be bothered to bet on it. "they'll make a bitcoin's worth of sales the first week, then half a bitcoin the next year and then that's that."
assbot: Webjet Exclusives trials Bitcoin payments - CIO ... ( http://bit.ly/1DDUi9j )
cazalla: http://www.cio.com.au/article/565496/webjet-exclusives-trials-bitcoin-payments/ sorta interesting if ya australia, not qntra newsworthy on account i would be stuck writing abc business converts bitcoin to fiat 24/7 otherwise
decimation: went from something to zero, but it took about 30 seconds
asciilifeform: decimation: i'm curious how you determined that this is so, rather than the ordinary behaviour of a flooded router
mircea_popescu: standard practice on cheap home connections, and the only reason the shit's even effective in any sense.
decimation: apparently my ISP simply cuts me off if there's an incoming flood
assbot: Aseara fusei la una... pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1DDTFwy )
mircea_popescu: only the politically impotent can ever be famous.
assbot: Logged on 03-02-2015 23:19:43; mircea_popescu: exactly antitethical to how wots work, incidentally. because coherence is the only possible attacxk against a wot.
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=03-02-2015#1005496 << James C. Scott writes about this "legibility/illegibility" thing, quite relevant ☝︎
mircea_popescu: o no, that i already built.
punkman: next we will start planning the real unmonastery
asciilifeform: but then it's just like a missing license.
mircea_popescu: well but if the whole thing's tossed then they have not acquired the right to use it.
asciilifeform: for all i know the whole thing would be tossed, like a rich man's prenup
asciilifeform: but is contract (implicit, 'shrinkwrap', otherwise) where one promises to break a law, a valid contract ?
mircea_popescu: actually it would in principle bar any sort of legally organised body from ever using the software.
asciilifeform: the last clause of part (ii) would probably give a traditional jurist indigestion
asciilifeform: should it somehow make its appearance there
asciilifeform is inescapably curious re: how the license in the article would actually behave in a secular court
mircea_popescu: what did the father of the girl schopenhauer was courting say ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i like to think i've pulled off this effect once or twice on folks

punkman: decimation: you need to use SASL

asciilifeform: 'hey bubba, watch this'
punkman: what's with the "(quit: Changing host)"?
asciilifeform: if using a braindamaged/misconfigured client, the time to stop is probably now
decimation: I wonder if it is because I joined before the cloak took effect
mircea_popescu: have you talked with the dog about this, or is it entirely your own opinion ?"
mircea_popescu: to which the jew retorts "my good man!
mircea_popescu: which starts to bark quite furious. the jew stops in fear
