erlehmann: i think it is unlikely that a non-self-built keyboard can do most things relevant to daily usage in hardware. especially layers, mod keys and compose.
erlehmann: i suspect the effect is not as notable for other people as for me, but qwertz hurts, neo2 does not.
erlehmann: chatting is something where i prefer to prevent my hands hurting
asciilifeform: erlehmann: funnily enough -- today -- i can
erlehmann: asciilifeform i guess you cannot control your computing experience? the answer from the boss of my boss to “can i install linux on the macbook to get a sane keyboard layout” was “got it, you get a thinkpad”
phf: well, that was a while ago (i switched back almost a decade ago), but even now more so now i spend a lot of time, working on other people's machines (i.e. developers that are stuck or need help or whatever)
erlehmann: i can do qwertz still. on my work laptop i have not even changed the keycaps.
erlehmann: same for OS X, apparently. my boss told me he tried to use it there and it was a pain due to something i cannot remember.
erlehmann: two exes of mine learned neo2 immediately after i explained the concept. one of them was often frustrated because her work computer was running windows and apparently windows + keyboard layout = shitcock
phf: i saw that was posted in 2014, and i was mostly curious if you stuck with it. i used arensito for almost 4 years, but once i started doing corporate work, particularly management work, it became somewhat impractical.
erlehmann: phf i still use the neo2 keyboard layout. it has several advantages over qwert(y|z) for me: 1. less strain put on my hands 2. useless caps lock replaced with another mod key 3. built-in layers for useful unicode 4. compose in the base layout
erlehmann: dear diary, yesterday a person on IRC asked me if i am jealous after i referred to ethereum as a scam again. jealous, i asked. yes, she answered, jealous of people who invest in cryptocurrencies! ☟︎
asciilifeform: holy fuq pete_dushenski , i suppose you've never taken a heat sink off before ?!
mod6: ah, ok. can do, i did get a breadboard.
mod6: sure, ok. it does seem, that when i clip on to that with the crock, and the probe, it gets square just fine. i read that means that it's "compensated" correctly.
mod6: clk looks better to me in that case, like I somehow have it dialed in more properly.
mod6: so i did one more while I was at it: http://www.mod6.net/fg/fg-test/20170602_155427.jpg
mod6: lol, i simply have no clue what im doing :D
mod6: i don't know
mod6: i used the sheilds for gnd this time, feel like im learning a bit, thanks for the help.
mod6: yeah, i rigged that up, but im having trouble with the space. i suppose i could elminate the USB-TTL for power and just use 5v from Dr. Meter tho right?
mod6: decent! thanks, ima see if i can get the 'out' in there too
mod6: i've since, just wanna look at the clock, see if i've got it hooked up right. i've got probe on channel one connected to 'clk' pin. probe's crock is attached to a lead coming off 'gnd' pin.
mod6: haha, i dun think im doin it right.
mircea_popescu: i dunno wtf this is.
mod6: i gotta take a pic here i think, but yah, two distinct different wave patterns.
mod6: i do have two probes...
mod6: this scope has a usb port, so i dropped in the USB to see if I can get the output saved on there. gotta rtfm i think
mod6: got the probe setup on the out pin. been waiting to try this. just didn't incause I fuck it up.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the tiresome faggots who keedp going "oh mom, i too could be an atlas couldn't i ? i'm tall enough ?" are no fucking object of this discussion.
mircea_popescu: self important little cunts. what the everloving fuck, "look at me, i live without a roof, WE HAVE DEPRECATED ROOVES!!11"
mircea_popescu: o i know, let's plead like a little bitch, that'll do something.
ben_vulpes: john robb on an entirely new trip: http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/globalguerrillas/2017/06/man-is-dead-and-we-have-killed-him-you-and-i.html
mircea_popescu: but if i had to guess i'd say a larger % of all-wealth-controlled-by-russians belongs to "criminals" and "terrorists" than is the case of the us.
mircea_popescu: fucking "demonstrations" and whatnot. what are they "demonstrating" ? that "oh look, you're not going to drive the tanks through us!11 like you fucking should!!111 awell, i guess you're not fit to rule then huh."
mircea_popescu: and i don't seem to recall his problems with the fucking reds.
asciilifeform: i.e. followed the pitchforks-vs-landsknecht dynamic pictured above
asciilifeform: i suppose mircea_popescu is posting from parallel universe where 1917 didn't happen
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm beheading even more people.
asciilifeform: i'd suppose that mircea_popescu is there for the good weather, not for the company of tree-dwellers
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to cr, it's kinda funny. i recall their currency being reasonably stable, but since i've been here it shed about 10% against the dollar. so the natl bank is all "wtf is wrong with you people", put 1bn of the reserve on the market, etc.
asciilifeform: ( why it remains - i have nfi; perhaps intel exec gurlz to holdthefort etc )
asciilifeform: i had nfi there were 500mn usd in all of cr, not merely the obscure ( i had nfi it existed...) ucr
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how that worked, but it's pretty far out there.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-02#1664526 << i'm entirely shocked he didn't divorce. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2015-08-22 14:05 asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-08-2015#1248273 << in my eyes, a ~skilled~ art forger is a hero second only to a hypothetical fella who puts an actual bullet through a bilderberger. why, exactly, should i have any sympathy for the folks hitching a ride in the only 100% effective inflation shelter known, at the expense of literally everybody else ?
asciilifeform: phf: i've been inside a bunch of these, but only on embassy expo day
phf: oh, i know this area, obama's neighborhood is 5 minutes walking from me, it's all old construction, so not so much a "mega-house" as a large&old dc property (apparently made from real stone!1)
phf: i've been to social events at these houses, and they are just glorified mcmansions. i was actually wondering about these mega-houses last time i recently took a trip to Fallingwater. who now among "the wealthy" is building these kaufmann residences that in 100 years time people will want to visit?
trinque: ah I'm not running multiple vertical screens.
asciilifeform: every single one i ever tried, worked poorly or not at all with multiple-vertical-outs
trinque: when I randr'd 90 degrees
mircea_popescu: i suppose could keep calling the everyone in dnc to "comment on" the thing. sort-of like how fake news / new york times does it...
BingoBoingo: I may have to carve out the time to see it.
BingoBoingo: Not that I remember, but I did see an awesome swarm of bees today.
ben_vulpes: but i have at least managed to rid myself of the apple dep
ben_vulpes: intel i7, nvidia geforce 550 ti, and as for "which kernel" i do not properly know how to answer the question but built with CHOST="x86_64-gentoo-linux-gnu"
shinohai: I am not exactly enabled yet but will be putting in the work asap
asciilifeform: mod6: mind if i link to this from snsa?
phf: right, i had reddit knowledge of it, but now i'm trying to get a nice hardcopy of a book that i only have in text, and i'm rapidly gaining tmsr knowledge of just how rotten it is
asciilifeform: i have nfi where i got it
mircea_popescu: i never heard this one.
asciilifeform: i suppose europe's equiv to this was the old story that marie & louis supposedly didn't shit for a week prior to heads-off
mircea_popescu: i confess was my intent.
Framedragger: i think there was an altruistic / sentimental component, so the case cannot be reduced the above, which (on its own) of course stands (i.e. agree fully)
a111: Logged on 2017-06-01 17:43 Framedragger: "As for the ultimate fate of the site, I'll have more to say about that soon. Delicious has over a billion bookmarks and is a fascinating piece of web history. Even Yahoo, for whom mismanagement is usually effortless, had to work hard to keep Delicious down. I bought it in part so it wouldn’t disappear from the web."
asciilifeform: nothing happened.. i have ps/2 jacks on my systems
a111: Logged on 2017-06-01 16:37 trinque: I will never buy a car that has enough computer in it to use such a thing.
asciilifeform: *i wanted
asciilifeform: continuing the optical code thing, i have a possible pill :
asciilifeform: i must admit that i dun see the appeal, Framedragger
Framedragger: i think he had some sentiments for delicious users, + perhaps expects some of them to migrate to his paid service. who knows
Framedragger: "As for the ultimate fate of the site, I'll have more to say about that soon. Delicious has over a billion bookmarks and is a fascinating piece of web history.

Framedragger: https://blog.pinboard.in/2017/06/pinboard_acquires_delicious/ mr. maciej acquires delicious, i like dis.
asciilifeform: it'd be even more jawdroppingly spiffy if i could get 16kB cut into a rubber stamp !
asciilifeform: i won't take credit for crapolade ( picture marmalade from liquishit, say ) but have nfi where heard it.
trinque: oh christ, no, I didn't mean that
asciilifeform: but i have scrapped autos when parts replacement became -ev
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i can't comment on the autos of 'less poor' folx, never bought mclauren parts.
trinque: these I don't know why anyone would buy, unless he has the money to buy the manufacturer when he wants something.
asciilifeform: i know a fella who owns hundreds of 1950s-70s autos
trinque: apparently I'm going to have to stockpile <=2010 tundras next to my g5 macs
trinque: I will never buy a car that has enough computer in it to use such a thing. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( async-with-handshake simply does 'if i don't get handshake, i won't send' )
mod6: i think from this little exercise that I can conclude that my tests, on linux, did exactly what they should have done.
mod6: gotcha, i'll look at getting one of those.
mod6: isn't that what the Dr. Meter does? you set it to 5v and it's g2g. i've verified with multimeter (Fluke) that it does spit out what it says it spits out.
mod6: instead of the battery pack, can I just use my Dr. Meter DC PS?
asciilifeform: fwiw i did a 1G of this on ~one~ particular unit and found no significant differences
mod6: so back to the bsd-side-quest.... i built `coreutils 8.21' on my openbsd box. now have `gdd` on there. which has a 'fullblock' iflag.
mod6: makes sense, i think it was worth covering this though -- wanted to be sure that I have one solid test-bed.
mod6: i went back to my linux output entropy files to see about the 'ff fd' thing; I'm really jammed up on openbsd. and that's a different side-quest we can discuss later. but now i'm wondering about the flow-control/output from collections done on linux
mod6: I'll run your py script here...
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-30#1663325 << so I should *not* be seeing a reoccurance of 'ff fd' throughout my entropy output files right? ☝︎
trinque: switched to a vape briefly, decided I didn't want a hot battery in my mouth.
mircea_popescu: i see they're sticking to the whole "silk road did something" lulz.
mircea_popescu: i suppose when he was alive they weren't letting her get close enough ?
asciilifeform: just as i will find turning over washington statues satisfying, if i live to partake of it
mircea_popescu: i confess i find toppling lenin statues quite satisfying myself.
mircea_popescu: i don't think they go by what could be described as criteria.
