mircea_popescu: i never heard of anyone with a guaranteed market this size being "oh... but the bugaboo and the tsetse fly".
Framedragger: you're not, you're not. also re several hundred, it's less, it's two small dedicated boxes on malware-infested provider + a vps
mircea_popescu: Framedragger you yourself pay at least a few hundred a month on it. do you pay that much in rent ? on it fucking goes, this.
Framedragger: so just to clarify the technicalities in my mind, in your head this doesn't even imply registering for an isp as 'normally' understood (getting an autonomous system number assigned). which means you may not even be able to control reverse ip records. not a lotta.. power.. if shit goes down. which it will.
trinque: comcast isn't an ISP; it's a tv company
mircea_popescu: it's not a fucking telco. it rents lines and resells them to consumers.
mircea_popescu: EVERYONE here. trinque has servers, yes ? Framedragger rents servers yes ? EVERYONE spends more on servers than on rent. there's a huge amount of money that should NOT be paid out to fucking hilary clinton's friends.
Framedragger: we are, in a way, oblivious, to the *present issues at hand*, hm.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger nevermind that! i want to get a new eulora server, for instance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is no grenade. it is a business, like giving away a ny restaurant. it will make a million or two over one's active life.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i've heard you before and i hear you now. i just don't have much hope for extant internet. unreliable-low-bandwidth shortwave relay net almost seems like a longer term strategy here, no?
Framedragger: sealand (if as in a physical platform at sea) == fewer options for uplink == even more bad, in my mind
mircea_popescu: sealand dood was a retard. like these usually are.
mircea_popescu: just make a fucking isp, that's not run by a moron and consequently ahead of 90% of the pack. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i want something like a dual or quad e-2650 say, with a coupla fuckgoats physically installed. i can't say "do this" in #trilema, in 2017.
Framedragger: i agree that it'd be a good contribution, 'while it lasts'. maybe i'm too pessimistic, but i can't see how the 'refuses usg requests' lasts for any time after 'first request received'.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't know for a hard fact, but there was that ukr.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: outside of reich, exactly same confiscation is carried out simply by slipping a hundy to the orc guard
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if ANYONE, including EACH AND EVERY non-technical dude following around had half a brain, it'd be a business model for him also.
mircea_popescu: as per you know, http://trilema.com/2014/interacting-with-fiat-institutions-a-guide/
asciilifeform: if 'best korean' fuhrer had half a brain, this'd be a business model for him.
asciilifeform: it ain't quite like, e.g., buying steel pipe, you can buy from x today and from y tomorrow and meanwhile you have a warehouse of pipe, so no prob.
Framedragger: is true, but also a lotta labour hours put into failed project
mircea_popescu: so fucking hard, this, picking up a business that can feed a herd of twelve when given. bejaysus.
asciilifeform: what a disgrace.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, https://archive.is/mevpd >> 'Some bounds checks are elided by Apple's compiler and possibly others, leading to a possible attack especially in 32-bit builds.'
asciilifeform: 'Mike Pompeo, director of the Central Intelligence Agency ... "WikiLeaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service," he said in prepared remarks at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Assange is a narcissist who has created nothing of value," Pompeo said. "He relies on the dirty work of other to make himself famous. He is a fraud — a coward hiding behind a screen. "And ☟︎
mircea_popescu: lol. this has nothing to do with him, it's simply a relfection of the fact that "worst baddest MR GOLDSTEIN" went from "Rapist" to "Russian Spy" since Trump cunt-punched rapist off the board.
davout: asciilifeform: yeah, you divert if such a thing happens
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-21#1646733 << "must have two pilots" is a standard for being cleared to take-off, not reviewed in-flight. ☝︎
davout: autoland is a thing
davout: but with some help from ATC, a private pilot could land an A320
davout: multi-pilot is a term of art
davout: it seems we have a different definition of "pilot"
asciilifeform: and i dun think you can even GET a 'cessna' with 1 set of controls.
pete_dushenski: so flying as a passenger in a single engine, single pilot is like riding bitch on a bike. lol nothx!
davout: usually the pilot being a derp
davout: not really because of the need for a "backup pilot"
pete_dushenski: davout: does one pilot v. two pilots matter as much as i suspect it does (ie. quite a lot) ?
davout: also props can mean a piston engine, as well as a turbo-prop
davout: i don't think it makes any difference from a safety pov
davout: the only really significant categories, from a safety point of view, are single vs. multi engines

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just a little bit of "consensus building" on the left.
mircea_popescu: in other "climate science", "somebody actually gives a shit about all the libertard agitprop" "there's more than a handful of sjws, truly, really, believe!!!" "nyt has more reach than trilema" and "if you don't have sou's hot whopper in your reader you really should" news, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/X09iH/?raw=true
BingoBoingo: "Police say more than $100,000 in trucks and lawn equipment was stolen Wednesday night or Thursday morning from a business in Caseyville. St. Clair County Sheriff’s Capt. Bruce Fleshren said a large section of fencing was cut, and gates were rammed by trucks at the business, Munie Green Care."
asciilifeform: nobody gives a nanofuck if tx-knapsacking is nphard or not, esp. if it ever turns out that hashingcolliding is not.
mircea_popescu: e it. plus you know, a whole section of actual linen.
mircea_popescu: and in other "holy shit i love this place" lulz : i bought three fresh coconuts for a thousand colones today ; and half a dozen superb riple mangos for two. this comes to almost 10 kgs of produce for six dollars total. then further down the street proceeded into telas tienda, selling authentic silk brocade, five bux the double-length metre. and it is silk, straight from the worm's ass. it burns, the grain feels right, you nam
mircea_popescu: otherwise, their usual mode of death would be "rode over a pebble"
asciilifeform: it ain't a car, has no suspension, no gearbox
asciilifeform: it boggles my mind that this even seemed like a possible thing to do.
pete_dushenski: not really gangster enough, nor sporty enough, for my particular tastes. $60k isn't crazy for A truck, but not for that one imo.
asciilifeform: ( how'd that work.. how do you shorten by a foot ? )
a111: Logged on 2017-04-20 21:19 mircea_popescu: i know i'd pay a premium to wipe my ass with argentina for years to come.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-20#1646551 << this is of 0 connection to squirrels infesting house in a town ? ☝︎
pete_dushenski: it's really not hard to spend two hours a day reading logs just to check all the obscure and arcane references. and that's before reading all the links.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-20#1646539 << eh enemy of empire, gimme a break. dude's an enemy of having to personally work, thassall. empire told him the way out is via "celebrity" because "publicity", he's doing what was told. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: sooo here's a free business idea
a111: Logged on 2017-04-20 13:52 mircea_popescu: yes. it doesn't mean "money-as-property" in the sense of "old destroyed world, i get to keep my money". it means money as property in the sense of, money IS A PROPERTY of other objects. like being the color red.

pete_dushenski: lol all of ontario rental properties now subject to 'rent control' capping rate of increase at that of inflation WITH MAX OF 2.5%YOY. because if inflation is higher than 2.5% it doesn't count so don't be a terrorist mkay. lol that place is so broke.
asciilifeform: can't speak for others, but i find it difficult to take such a fella seriously.
asciilifeform: because apparently he thought that being a public whore is worth the fivebux/mo or whatever it paid.
asciilifeform: for a supposed enemy of the empire, to host that liquishit ( incidentally it is produced in concert with traditional spammers, i have an entire mailbox that has become unusable because it takes in flashlight spam faster than it can be removed ) is a disgrace.
asciilifeform: it ate, some years ago, a similar one, 'comp usa'
trinque: there's a decent store 10min away that stocks about as well as newegg, can go get something once I have the apu2 and see what will fit nicely in the case.
asciilifeform: ( it has sata plug, but no room in the case for a 2.5 inch disk; typically people get 'm-sata' laptop-style ssd for these )
trinque: also have an apu2 on the way which will be a dedicated gentoo+musl. I'll write up the unboxing and gentooing of that guy when it arrives.
trinque: I dug a glibc trench for now while I fiddle with musl+X
asciilifeform: moar of a colourrevolutioning case
mircea_popescu: anyway, vaguely curious if the russians are actually going to try the espionage case or just bury the schmuck in a hole somewhere.
mircea_popescu: had the usg terrorist organisation done it, it'd have been all a-ok by these wrecker's lights.
mircea_popescu: the classification of ideas is a very useful scholarly discipline.
asciilifeform: this is a point.
mircea_popescu: the hamilton school, money as symbol, attempts to construct a grammar of the world wherein money is a word like all the others, and with it finally complete the ancient kaballah task of reading the true bible.
mircea_popescu: yes. it doesn't mean "money-as-property" in the sense of "old destroyed world, i get to keep my money". it means money as property in the sense of, money IS A PROPERTY of other objects. like being the color red. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-04-20 13:49 mircea_popescu: one is to regard it as a symbol, the other is to regard it as a property.
mircea_popescu: that doesn't really enter into any of this. you asked for a disjunction i gave you the genus and specific difference.
mircea_popescu: one is to regard it as a symbol, the other is to regard it as a property. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the agitolalia re "progress" is especially funny in a place that's literally still playing the same plays.
mircea_popescu: this isn't a nation you're discusing, it's a spot of dog vomit, a chimera of isolated cultural pockets.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the hamilton-carnegie us has a) little to do with the jpmorgan-rockefeller us, and also entirely nothing to do with the jackson-nixon-bush us.
asciilifeform: they -- had a dying spain to eat.
mircea_popescu: there should be a book written about these "earworms" let's call it, little bits of memetic stupid that work on the innocent strictly, and reconfigure what'd have been a natural construction into stupidity.
mircea_popescu: jackson was an american. lincol was a humanitarian.

asciilifeform: oppenheimer could have easily been a saharov. but instead he was stripped of his rank and given a swift kick in the arse when he took up with the left.
mircea_popescu: the adventure of that unfortunate idiot bailey is exactly that -- the dissemblement of the entire system people like orlov, and like rotblatt, and like every tard in between shat on for a half century.
asciilifeform: these folx never got a podium on which to pour shit over entire american system, say, and 'dissident'ate, and gleefully preside over disassembly of usg
asciilifeform: first time i hear of a rotblatt.
mircea_popescu: i thought carter was a drunk.
asciilifeform: they, unfortunately, did not have a competent set of puppeteers, and a nobel-dispensing 'international komyoonity', to put theirs on proper podium
mircea_popescu: can anyone dig up a contact for the fellow ? i'd actually do an interview.
mircea_popescu: totally worth writing a biography, "l. conway - from reality to convention. a life."
