decimation: junk dealers are selling all kinds of old ibm rs-422 terminals for various crazy asks
BingoBoingo regrets not talking first realish job into the other 3 processors and GB of RAM into the Ultra 80
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah the weight is mostly the lead in the glass to protect from x-rays
asciilifeform: the phosphour fades, and there is nothing to be done about it (besides a dreaded heathen recipe - boost the gun voltage. result: 'radiation king (tm)')
decimation: asciilifeform: makes me sad I ditched my 21 inch trinitron a few years ago, but it was a heavy bitch
asciilifeform besides, would need 4+ of them
BingoBoingo assumes the reason for metallic ink on high denomination USD bills is X-Ray shadow at the air port
asciilifeform misses crt, but every time he buys 'amazing!11! well-preserved111! trinitron' - it's a faded turd.
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I see it supports RS-422, that's neat. Would be useful for a home serial-terminal server
BingoBoingo: <decimation> asciilifeform: my main requirement is to ditch x-ray crt << How else are you going to spot USD???
BingoBoingo: Seriously, burned rather than finish finding entropy to generate keys
asciilifeform: you can plug that 'ibm' or whatever into - anything
decimation: I would agree that finding one that spoke rs-422 would be neat
TheNewDeal: fuck that
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: trick. no typo.
TheNewDeal: asciilifeform is ceill the typo?
BingoBoingo used NetBSD's GPG fork on my MacSE/30 this fucking spring
assbot: IBM 3101 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
decimation: asciilifeform: my main requirement is to ditch x-ray crt
asciilifeform: why does it have to be modern-as-in-right-now
asciilifeform: modern ascii terminal << ibm 5250, say.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: more or less. don't plug the ethernet in.
assbot: Free Pages Personnelles: Erreur 404 - Document non trouvé
asciilifeform: upme_boolcrap: calculates m. petitjean's chirality index for alpha-quartz crystal lattice of growing size. just as printed on the box.
assbot: Geoff's Projects - ASCII Video Terminal
decimation: asciilifeform: they were pretty to be sure
upme_boolcrap: what is it supposed to do?
decimation: next someone is going to come around saying they maintain IRIX
asciilifeform: upme_boolcrap: originally phriend's, not mine. i merely de-c++ed, profiled, optimized, massaged, found where to run.
chalbersma: @decimation yes but not all the AIX/HP-UX clients are government.
upme_boolcrap: one look at that
decimation: chalbersma: are they selling to usg?
BingoBoingo: AIX isn't real though
chalbersma: They have AIX too!
BingoBoingo: <chalbersma> Yep the company I work for still developes the latest stuff for HP-UX. Luckily we're moving off it for RHEL later this year. << Stahp or I'll have to cover you in my systemd fatwah
upme_boolcrap: maybe i have indulged in the medical marijuana
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I might be throwing out a lot of boxen soon.
decimation: atom cpus suck but they are low power
upme_boolcrap: i kind of feel like i have to deliver something
chalbersma: Yep the company I work for still developes the latest stuff for HP-UX. Luckily we're moving off it for RHEL later this year.
chalbersma: It's the low power stuff.
chalbersma: http://ark.intel.com/products/77987 x86-64 arch on this particular processor.
decimation: chalbersma: some good tips on your blog, thanks for writing them up
asciilifeform: upme_boolcrap: mind you, socket for aux wives is just a start - you still have to obtain and install.
chalbersma: @upme Has to be about redundancy :)
upme_boolcrap: if she let me have more wives she would have to clean less
mircea_popescu: chalbersma not that many, really.
upme_boolcrap: how can i convince my wife to let me have more wives
chalbersma: Ya I remember reading about the RG problems. I use bitvps for my blog and it seems fairly stable. But I assume that there's probably a number of people offering VPS hosting for bitcoin these days.
upme_boolcrap: i imagine they are mostly naked?
mircea_popescu: depends on the day.
decimation: keys aren't safe on the ocean floor: http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/nukevault/ebb305/
mircea_popescu: im on my third slice of chocolate cake
mircea_popescu: or make the bus wider
decimation: as memory becomes slower relative to cores*cache available the incentive is to micro-manage how data is shoveled into the cpus
mircea_popescu: you can self-up if identified to gribble, just pm assbot !up
thestringpuller: the life and times
decimation: mircea_popescu: I guess I'm talking more about 'thrashing' - allocating and deallocating memory without care
mircea_popescu: this is true
asciilifeform: 'programmers' is a ware in the same sense as 'food'
decimation: I wish the hardware had garbage collection built-in like your dream, but the problem is that the von neumann world is going the other direction
decimation: programmers today are so lazy and wasteful with memory
decimation: asciilifeform: I find that they are useful for picking the 'low hanging fruit'
asciilifeform: decimation: not so much example for output (you can see that in 'man' page) but of where you might actually bother with profilers.
decimation: asciilifeform: thanks for the example
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: Namworld helped to turn bitvps around

X-Rob: mircea_popescu: yep. It's unusual for my main rig to be idle for more than 6 hours or so.
asciilifeform: decimation: (on 32 cpu. cost money, at the time.)
chalbersma: I noticed someone said they didn't like bitvps but they have VPS for $20/mo that may do the trick. I assume other vps providers have similar pricing. 2 cores 2G 20GB 2TB transfer.
Guest36874: I'm almost certain its not a CPU or decimal issue...pool crashing that is
asciilifeform: decimation: here - it counted. ~5000 hrs of runtime, had to count.
mircea_popescu: tbh i imagine that's what powers the 25%. narrow base.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: Sonic Screw Driver. Tor-based coin. Technically interesting.
X-Rob: which I then sold and recouped my investment with a nice margin
X-Rob: I ended up owning almost 10% of the coin
X-Rob: However, I invested 1BTC to lease a bunch of rigs when SSD was released
X-Rob: decimation: I feel that I'm always at the bottom edge of the market of rig hire. I don't want to appear to rip people off
decimation: asciilifeform: I think with the new 'dwarf frames' & libunwind things have gotten better on linux
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: I think he's referring to me being at estimate * 1.25 on leaserig.
asciilifeform: profilers << first, try 'gcov' - bare essentials, conveniently baked into gcc.
mircea_popescu: but admitting for the sake of admittance.
X-Rob: Because that's well within statistical uncertanty
mircea_popescu: X-Rob so that's not overpaying ? because why, not enough decimals ? :D
chalbersma: So not much at all. I think the p2pool node I setup for RSM was using about 400MB of RAM but I was telling that server to manually connect to a number of peers.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: No, actually, you're not. I think I ended up charging you about 0.1btc over estimate
mircea_popescu: im a case study in that neh ?
X-Rob: decimation: Because they are willing. It's not a hypothesis.
decimation: X-Rob: why do you think folks are willing to pay more than the expected return to rent miners?
mircea_popescu: maybe it's because the work had too many decimals.
mircea_popescu: X-Rob wa the pool falling over because not enough cpu ?
BingoBoingo: decimation: The last version of Mac anything was 7.5.1
chalbersma: I think the real issue then is how much "ummph" does the VPS in question need. I've not had a chance to experiment with the minimum requirements for ATC or p2pool ontop of ATC.
BingoBoingo: decimation: OSX is not Mac OS and is not a thing I recognize as existing.
assbot: Brendan's blog » Top 10 DTrace scripts for Mac OS X
BingoBoingo: ATC is a totally independent SHA-256 chain
BingoBoingo: No merged mining is possible with ATC, by ThickasTheives design
chalbersma: If the idea is to minimize costs then a VPS is probably your best bet for now. Especially considering that the blockchain is so small. Question can other sha-256 coins be merged ontop of atc? Like namecoin
BingoBoingo: Resedit being the last great dev tool offered by apple
BingoBoingo: Valgrind definitely has higher resolution than resedit for sure.
