asciilifeform: it also doesn't transmit. if you wanna transmit, you need an actual sdr, e.g. 'hackrf' , 'gnuradio', or something made with own hands.
asciilifeform: it's good for what comes from before your horizon, and that's it.
asciilifeform: possibly i can guess what ben_vulpes wanted... answr is, there is 0 ionospheric propagation at any of the spectrum the cheapo rtl dongle is able to pick up.
asciilifeform: all binaries on the box must trace their descent to contents of /v/...
asciilifeform: common root lets you vdiffate whatever change you made to anything, even if it takes in > 1 subsystem.
asciilifeform: picture, all v-released items live in /v/ ; seals in /seals/; wot in '/wot/; /v/ gets pressed on install, and on request whenever later...
asciilifeform: this also makes the vtronic-linux a moar tenable, imho, proposition.
asciilifeform: also oughta satisfy mircea_popescu's 'there was 1 genesis' item. because under phf's unification, there in fact ~was~ , created an empty universe with a 'bitcoin' dir.
asciilifeform: it very much seems to me, to be The Right Thing.
asciilifeform: but, observe, phf's scheme could easily work, and require afaik no regrinds
asciilifeform: i happen to see the entire unix directory scheme as idiocy
asciilifeform: ( both demonstrated in the example. )
asciilifeform: the vdiffing worx exactly correctly, as does the linkage, without this.
asciilifeform: though i'll admit that i personally dun get the fixation with moving mpi to being a subdir of $newproj.
asciilifeform: phf: sad indeed, and afaik unfixable without sending gnupatch/gnudiff to where they belong -- into the oven.
asciilifeform: i'ma leave it for diana_coman , mod6 , phf , mircea_popescu , et al, to consider which pill is less barfatronic, and possibly conceive of another.
asciilifeform: you dun actually need to press it, unless specifically want to.
asciilifeform: at any rate it oughta be obvious what the illustration does simply from naked eye reading.
asciilifeform: or can sign it with the mahmood khadir key, or 1 of the others we broke, lol
asciilifeform: mod6: i dun like to uncase the launch codes 10,000,000 times per day every time test press. but others are moar than welcome to.
asciilifeform: mod6: if you dun have a testmode, you gotta sign it yerself to run it, what can i say
asciilifeform: imho the item i posted just nao, illustrates the cleaner method. but it has down-side in that one has to give up on 'i get to decide exactly what the unix dir structure will look like, notwithstanding the fact that gnumake was dropped as a baby and has nfi what file moving is'
asciilifeform: if phf , or anyone else, can think of a 3rd ( that is, one that actually preserves the v-genealogy , rather than idiot-cut-and-pastism ) i'm all ears.
asciilifeform: now let's come back to my much earlier pill, which i suggested in the mircea_popescu thread. which is imho even uglier. in that one, diana_coman would have to introduce the three mpi-ism vpatches comprising her working set, as ~files~ into eucrypt. and a sed script, and a vtron invocation, into her eucrypt makefile.
asciilifeform: phf: given example works with my vtron, oughta equally work with mod6's. and does the job (both from vtronic genealogy pov, and gnumake's -- the latter (see the makefile of my faux 'eucrypt') recurses updir ) the 1 down-side is aesthetics.☟︎
asciilifeform: you can press it in my vtron, by 1) recreating diana_coman's working set from last week 2) drop pseudo_eucrypt.vpatch into patches dir 3) ./v.py -wild --wot .wot --seals .seals patches p patches/pseudo_eucrypt.vpatch pseudoeucrypt
asciilifeform: it's not eucrypt, of course, but the helloworld i originally included in mpi . but shows what i meant above.
asciilifeform: then you dun need any gnupatch shenanigans.
asciilifeform: i.e. why can't 'eucrypt' be a ~sibling~ dir to 'mpi'☟︎
asciilifeform: it isn't required for the linker, nor for maintaining v-lineage ( the latter works just as well if diana_coman were to simply add a comment to 1 or more items in mpi dir , that 'this is nao part of eucrypt' )
asciilifeform: the 1 thing i still don't fully understand is why diana_coman's subdir gotta move☟︎
asciilifeform: phf: this is the basic insanity of gnupatch. a proper vpatch ought to see that the hashes are the same incoming and outgoing , and Do The Right Thing without the idiot spew
asciilifeform: if it were japanese , turtles would be plugging her holes and depicted in full squirming glory. but their cocks would be unicorn-shaped.
asciilifeform: prolly was printed in 'respectable'(tm)(r) press etc
