asciilifeform: caveat x2 : no îțâșă . but it was missing in the original, i did not remove it. ascii-only, in the derp's original, e.g. 'uşă' turns into 'usa'.☟︎
asciilifeform: caveat : it's a spoil of war, i cannot guarantee the contents, could have some qty of any degree of nonsense in there.
asciilifeform: Radio Wave at 40 kHz, 60kHz, 68.5 kHz, and 77.5kHzv – GPS signal at 1575.42 MHzvi – LTE with eSIM at 2600 MHzvii << bahahahahwat ntp thread alloveragain ?!
asciilifeform: faster to format the hdd and start again, than to try to manually separate the flies from the cutlets.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: once you have 5, yer pretty much phuqed
asciilifeform: nao iirc there is finally a gnat built on 5. but i have not tried it, and can't yet think of a reason to try it
asciilifeform: the surest pill is simply not to have 5 on the box. at. all.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: linker in 5 is incompatible with 4, likely explains such cases
asciilifeform: ( or greater %, if item is product of deliberate obfuscation, rather than merely microshit )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: reversing winturds, possibly surprisingly, is little different : a good 80% of the binturd has no arithmetical reason for being there
asciilifeform: shinohai: text obscured by crapolade, unreadable
asciilifeform: iirc about half of voodoo repertoire is re this
asciilifeform: 'cast this spell to regain yer boyfriend'
asciilifeform: the 'Dacă doriți să vă recuperați ex' is so very orc
asciilifeform: lol, nao this is a first on asciilifeform's watch, ro spamola
asciilifeform: returning to dictionaries -- it's a piton, for penetrating the otherwise impenetrable n00b texts ( e.g. children's lit ) . not a 'hey i am nigerian and i found an englisch dictionary and nao i speak to you about our road to riches and fame'
asciilifeform: normally 'it burned down and who the fuck knows why'
asciilifeform: learnable-from failures are a rare luxury even in engineering
asciilifeform: interrupted classics are of interest to archaeologist.
asciilifeform: no classics -- monkeylang. dun see what to disagree with.
asciilifeform: also i will note that english is a pretty poor example for this thread, it is missing so many pieces that folx who ~think~ in it are visibly handicapped in all walks of life, not merely for learning ro
asciilifeform: but you somehow gotta get to that takeoff, and not everyone has dirigible.
asciilifeform: i won't disagree that translative dictionary is only good for reaching takeoff velocity, and folx who try to ~write~ using one, rather than using years of actual literature eaten, are in a state of sin
asciilifeform: i'll still take it over 'learn from context' nonsense.
asciilifeform: 'get a harem of aboriginals, fughetabout dictionaries' such classic road cone.
asciilifeform: at this point i suspect the remaining ones are, to a man, chinese coolies. send'em a tax bill, they'll shrug and take it home to pekin when their tour of duty ends, frame on a wall.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's 'staggering amount' to the derp who is in the 0% tax bracket today but would theoretically live in the 40% if the discount were to be counted ( as it by all rights oughta ) as income
asciilifeform: so genesis the text file, and it contains the turd hashes. this is what i did with fg.
asciilifeform: they carry no meaning at all. change 1 byte and you get a turd every bit as large as the genesis.
asciilifeform: iirc asciilifeform actually posted a binturd bios once, that he cracked ( for stinkpad x60 , which normally refuses aftermarket nic )
asciilifeform: it's a perfectly ordinary use of sig ( supposing one remembers to write proper disclaimer, 'i sign what i found , from wherever' ) . but not of v -- the diffs aren't meaningful
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in FG, i signed binturds that i ~generated~ ( e.g. jpeg of schematic )
