asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: (the whole 'asic resistance' thing)
decimation: ah. thanks. the problem mainly is figuring out how to describe what you want
assbot: Amazon.com: 40pcs Female to Female 2.54mm 0.1 in Jumper Wires F/F (40pcs): Computers & Accessories ... ( http://bit.ly/1ymtBlN )
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: davout no, roast as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y53JLJDOEvE << watching this now. it's a riot!
decimation: aye. once 'management' decided that windows was the answer, the nerds at the bottom had no chance
asciilifeform: because it was the first unixlike which couldn't be nudged out of existence this way
asciilifeform: this, rather than 'open'-whatever in the abstract, is why redmond declared total war on linux
asciilifeform: this didn't affect the 'workstation' folks, until it did.
decimation: suddenly everyone who could use windows was a 'computer expert', so people who used computers to compute became 'dinosaurs' or 'weird'
asciilifeform: (nothing in the industry happened, in those days, except in the shadow of microshit. just as very little happens in the solar system that is not in some major way affected by jupiter.)
decimation: actually this is a perfect example of how 'drowning in idiots' can ruin an industry
asciilifeform: microshit quietly massacred the commercial unixen while no one was looking
decimation: yes, warez vendors targeted solaris as a platform, like cadence, adobe, etc
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: point is that, not so many years ago, one could get the 'high end' stuff on solaris.
decimation: they built aqua-ducts that lasted 2000 years - I'm not betting that 'portland cement' will last as long
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> decimation: actually, sun corp. endured for a while << Sun alway though lacked the introspection necessary to realize things like... A bench might be a better place to assemble machines than the floor.
decimation: BingoBoingo: aye, it is my understanding that even to this day the exact recipe for 'roman concrete' is still not completely known
decimation: decimation: sun have been lowered into oracle or that turd 'joylent' that was discussed awhile ago
BingoBoingo: decimation: Similar to how when the Western Roman empire fell, concrete was forgotten for quite some time, because no volcanic ash in coldistan
decimation: that and, the only proprietary hardware unix vendor left is... apple
decimation: asciilifeform: that's probably a good explanation for why high-end engineering software comes only on winblows
decimation: yes, that era forms the mud-layer upon which modern silly-con valley is built
asciilifeform couldn't be arsed to load it into the truck
assbot: Lazy Cat Doesn't Get Up to Drink Water - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1ympExJ )
asciilifeform: as in, there's an x86 box in there.
decimation: asciilifeform: but it is possible to get decent (if not 'mazerati'-grade) instrumentation without swallowing winblows << except agilent et.al. comes with windows
onewhosits: danielpbarrn ahh. nah ive been using the distro for some time
decimation: the LXR 'concordance' is pretty neat, it would be cool if it were possible to create that without webserver turd
danielpbarron: i was just wondering if a random tails user was aware of that sort of thing, or if they just downloaded it because freetalklive mentioned it
danielpbarron: onewhosits, idk -- it doesn't matter anyway; the tails guys aren't in the WoT
onewhosits: danielpbarron. No, actually i didn't. Should've. Is there a common problem with modified tailos installs?
onewhosits: Good info friends. I'm currently using my home ip so im good. interesting though
pete_dushenski: whoa what's with the chernobyl theme over at thebitcoin.foundation ?
danielpbarron: onewhosits, out of curiousity: did you verify the gpg signature on the tails installer?
BingoBoingo: onewhosits: More just some vandal has a bot that lurks and DoS's connections as it seens them join. Cloak should be enough to defeat that. To connect with Tor you'd need a cloak anyway.
mats: some curmudgeon operating an exit node could diddle your traffic.
assbot: This Onion, It Smells: Inherent Hazards of the Tor Network | Qntra.net ... ( http://bit.ly/1ymmtWw )
mats: i'd avoid doing anything sensitive over Tor, though
mats: hard to say.
onewhosits: oh i see. is it risky to use these channels? i run tailsos when i need to
BingoBoingo: So... of all people newbie distro Linux mint if holding off on any systemd for two years http://news.softpedia.com/news/Linux-Mint-18-Will-Probably-Adopt-Systemd-470364.shtml
BingoBoingo: Hides your IP, because it is hard to tell when DoS bot will return
onewhosits: no sir, google brings up "world of tanks" aha
danielpbarron: onewhosits, you know about the WoT yet?
onewhosits: what are some BTC predictions for this coming week?
asciilifeform: but it is possible to get decent (if not 'mazerati'-grade) instrumentation without swallowing winblows
mats: closed-source seems normal from the researching ive done
asciilifeform: if all you need is something that will decode, e.g., spi, at a few 100 kHz, get the ubiquitous 'bus pirate'
asciilifeform: and is that a closed-source turd i see.
assbot: Saleae Logic. The logic analyzer you'll love to use. ... ( http://bit.ly/1vn9N6l )
asciilifeform: vendor also seems to say it is out of print.
mats: i've heard good things about saleae logic, have you used it?
asciilifeform: if you can spare ~1k usd, get the 'rigol'
mircea_popescu: me too
mats: will any others develop the courage to leave the EU? huhu
mats: i'm looking forward to the outcome of this
mircea_popescu: so he can say that greece is right. unlike argentina.
mircea_popescu: i hope they had a new york clause in their contract, and griesa gets to judge it
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, that just makes him a shoulder
danielpbarron: didn't i read something like that already today?
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Yeah, just dunno how that qualifies him to say Bitcoin companie should just stop competing with each other and then dissolve when they solve their problems
assbot: The real reason Ryan Charles was fired from reddit: he spent the entire duration of his employment working on a port of bitcoin core to Javascript. : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1vn66NU )
teward: ends up 'scamming' users into things
teward: and 'scammer' in that he tries to impersonate staff when he's really bored
teward was unaware of the switch to internal auth mechanisms
teward: mircea_popescu: the auth process for unfamiliar people :)
teward: mircea_popescu: this needs documented
mircea_popescu: cazalla: but i think we've also refined the type of content we publish << i guess that's gonna keep getting redefined, iut's what living things do.
BingoBoingo: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2uc77p/would_you_crowdfund_bitcoin_wireless/ << How did it take Reddit so long to cut him loose
mircea_popescu: teward now you can assbot voice, send !up in pm then !v its string
teward: well known freenode troll/spammer/scammer/bitch
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 1 for teward with note: guy whose name starts with t.
teward: and then i'd have my oline revoked for overusing /kline xD
mircea_popescu: !rate teward 1 guy whose name starts with t.
teward: if i were freenode staffer cholby would be getting klined on sight every single time
mircea_popescu: !rate teward 1 freenode staff
assbot: Trust relationship from user assbot to user teward: Level 1: 0, Level 2: 0 via 0 connections. | http://w.b-a.link/trust/assbot/teward | http://w.b-a.link/user/teward
mircea_popescu: !gettrust assbot teward
mircea_popescu: !up teward
mircea_popescu: cazalla pretty lulzy, that.
mircea_popescu: !up teward
kakobrekla: because split personalities belong to #bitcoin-insane-asylum ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 30-01-2015 21:27:59; kakobrekla: i know changing names is not a good practice, but perhaps for the sake of sync we could allow to update your name once (given properly signed request from adequate gpg key)
teward: tryin to hunt down an irc staffer to figure out what happened
teward: kakobrekla: probably nickserv expiry - haven't used that nick in eons
teward: got the pgp key for 'teward' but if your bot fails to recognize master/alt nicks... well...
teward: and since the nick i auth up as in otc was taken, there's a problem
teward: rather than gribble auth
teward: since !up now binds to your own auth mech
teward: kakobrekla: unfortunately TheLordOfTime, my gribble auth nick, is stolen - must have expired and been taken
kakobrekla: no need to wait.
teward: can't auth as a nick that was stolen from me
teward: BingoBoingo: if that's a new thing, then the webpage needs updated
asciilifeform: ^ linus understood that language is a people-filter, just like gpg etc
teward: BingoBoingo: sounds like I need to rape freenode with a stick again
asciilifeform: 'In other words: the choice of C is the only sane choice. I know Miles Bader jokingly said "to piss you off", but it's actually true. I've come to the conclusion that any programmer that would prefer the project to be in C++ over C is likely a programmer that I really *would* prefer to piss off, so that he doesn't come and screw up any project I'm involved with.'
Guest18566: BingoBoingo: [15/01/31 20:04:47] -NickServ- Information on thelordoftime (account thetimelord): <-- musta expired
