asciilifeform: vs plain paint-the-grass-green.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i like breaking things when something is gained thereby.
asciilifeform: what's he using, 5bit baudot?
asciilifeform: neato.
asciilifeform: phf: afaik moore still uses ascii
asciilifeform: i'm almost surprised that mircea_popescu hasn't yet thought of , e.g., anathemizing ascii in favour of own, arbitrary arrangement of alphabet, strictly for incompatibility's sake; or to proclaim the 17-bit byte...
asciilifeform: adding arbitrary talmudiana is what microshit is made of.
asciilifeform: and you will annihilate, e.g., ascii-art schematics, if you dictate e.g. 'no 2 spaces'
asciilifeform: not all failures are immediate/detectable before it costs a battleship.
asciilifeform: (e.g. python, fortran, elsewhere, have significant-whitespaces)
asciilifeform: i guarantee that the 'autofix' will break something, somewhere, at some point, in a difficult-to-detect way.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: plz expand then ?
asciilifeform: sanity will involve a much greater degree of kitchen-toilet-separation than seen today.
asciilifeform: ( the long-time reader will observe that this contravenes http://www.loper-os.org/?p=231 . tough cookies, don't do crypto on box with transparent copying. )
asciilifeform: ( and naturally 0 swapolade or any other 'transparent' copying of anything at all behind the operator's back, in the whole machine, goes without saying. )
asciilifeform: i.e. guaranteed 0-remanence.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-16#1656782 << securememory. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is only meaningful concept if whole machine.
asciilifeform: gets very ugly, very quickly.
asciilifeform: trinque: sorta why i didn't particularly itch to go there
asciilifeform: ( who recalls the mircea_popescu tabs-spaces thread... )
asciilifeform: incl. mv, cp, tr/sed.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754311 << this is how asciilifeform originally thought to make the file-moves thing, with the 'manifest', i.e. list of commands that get executed on the dataset pre-diff ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754329 << ben_vulpes had pretty good likbez, http://cascadianhacker.com/21_a-tour-of-bitcoind-booting-to-its-first-thread ☝︎
asciilifeform: at one point asciilifeform planned to cut out the allocator from mpi entirely, but ditched whole thing before ever getting there.
asciilifeform: koch wouldn't be koch if he did not write it like-so.
asciilifeform: fuck swap.
asciilifeform: ftr i dun plan to include 'secure memory'ism in ffa.
asciilifeform: the 'secure memory' thing is entirely red herring imho. all it means is that it gets marked unswappable. but i dun have swap on any of my boxes, period.
asciilifeform: sorta foundational.
asciilifeform: phf: there's no place for 'merge' as a concept in a vtronic system.
asciilifeform: elsewhere, asciilifeform contemplates , of what is made the black soot that one finds inside servers. wish i still had where to gc/ms...
asciilifeform: a patch either applies cleanly or something is Very Wrong
asciilifeform: phf: 'ignore', 'merge', anything pertaining to either
asciilifeform: lol shinohai , will confess, asciilifeform never once met diana_coman
asciilifeform: i also wonder whether gabriel_laddel ever considered vegas. it has slightly better odds than sv nonsense, and with fewer pounds of flesh required as table stake
asciilifeform: going on 1leg is slow. esp if you have nfi that you oughta be going somewhere, and doped to 11.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754270 << i was about to say, 'i've nfi what d00d is still doing in usa' but then remembered he's 1legged nao ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754272 << traditional formulation is 'yesterday's lotto number' ☝︎
asciilifeform pets succubus
asciilifeform: ( and i concede the point to mircea_popescu , boat prolly does not work for the contemplated use , in the general case )
asciilifeform: as mircea_popescu quickly figured out, asciilifeform's interest in boats is of a very peculiar kind, and not simply because he likes water.
asciilifeform: troo!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754265 << haven't yet seen uruguay, nope. but also haven't yet a boat. ☝︎
asciilifeform: in other noose, raid cards work.
asciilifeform: and only then wherever.
asciilifeform: tho gotta point out, every single unit sold to date was first 'him selling'
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform never used it
asciilifeform: !#s gpgme
asciilifeform: and 4G typically suffices to run trb 'year-round'.
asciilifeform: this is afaik the cheapest amd64 box 'bang for buck', currently around.
asciilifeform: GB nic.
asciilifeform: some floating about that go to 1.7.
asciilifeform: 4 core @ 1.5G , 4G ram , dc brick included.
asciilifeform: they are widely sold as surplus today, about fiddybux ( naturally diskless ) ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: 'wyse' made a series of gui-terminals , but with sata disk , fanless , based on very similar mobo to 'pcengines' ☟︎
asciilifeform: btw asciilifeform will reveal that he found a 'new' (to him) and very spiffy type of amd g-series box , suitable for trb and similar
asciilifeform: aaa
asciilifeform: what's the use of a 1 gig ssd
asciilifeform: 1 gig ssd ?!
asciilifeform: folx still buyin' ?
asciilifeform: aha, see.
asciilifeform: ( given as you immediately refilled btc coffer )
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: dunno, sounds like your fg dealership was and still is an effective device for converting btc into fiatola to buy bread, at slightly higher efficiency than otherwise
asciilifeform: hell knows, asciilifeform takes every chance ( rare chances...) to buy coinz
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: not too late to do the latter, neh
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i'm thick; what means 're-buying the re-up' ?
asciilifeform: !!down The20YearIRCloud
asciilifeform: aite. snoar.
asciilifeform: more liek what dell and microshit do
asciilifeform: oook so it isn't a btc biznisss at all...
asciilifeform: ( see , e.g., http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-10#1749209 ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: i.e. you oughta get the btc you spent, back , at the very least
asciilifeform: forget about matching, how about simply not burning the coin
asciilifeform: ( and that's if it exchange rate were to somehow freeze 4evah at current, even )
asciilifeform: how many centuries to make the coin back ?
asciilifeform: i.e. you spent btc presumably some months ( years ? ) ago, and letting them flats out for 'dust' today
asciilifeform: unless i'm missing something, that sounds like a terrible deal
asciilifeform: The20YearIRCloud: iirc you were the fella with the flats-let-out-for-btc . how's that coming along ?
asciilifeform: The20YearIRCloud: y'know you don't have to talk if you dunwanna
asciilifeform: hey , asciilifeform takes off his hat to BingoBoingo's 'fuel efficiency'
asciilifeform: somehow i didn't expect delousing as one of the expenses...
asciilifeform: ugh
asciilifeform: well i actually ~like~ winter, so.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: possibly, but it dun make sense for just 1 ☟︎
asciilifeform: ^ see also
asciilifeform: !#s idiomatic c
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754142 << 12k of 'idiomatic c' is still pretty heavy. but not intractable. ☝︎
asciilifeform: lemme know when yer ready to take a box
asciilifeform: neato, BingoBoingo
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754135 << emphasis was quite deliberate on 'this is orthogonal to the problem contemplated'. yes, it is solvable, there are several known obvious solutions. ☝︎
asciilifeform: the differences are not in that some have roaches and others mice, no. ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: datacenters are ~always more or less ~same, visually.
asciilifeform bbl, but suspects that we'll meet this thread again.
asciilifeform: picture, knapsack.
asciilifeform pictures, suppose somebody were to try an' 'veblenize' cesium fountain
asciilifeform: btw iirc we had a mechanical clock collector d00d... pete_dushenski ?
asciilifeform pretty close to where more often than not thinks 'hm, rubidium or save pennies and cesium'
asciilifeform: ( presupposing yer doing precision, vs accuracy-to-inca, the latter circularly presupposes inca broadcast as only winner )
