mircea_popescu: i've not yet had an 11 dvd game.

mircea_popescu: phf asciilifeform to make you both feel better : sat i'm going to a "russian rock concert" at this massage parlour slash blinyi restaurant run by a buncha russian chicks.

shinohai: BingoBoingo: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/k35HX/?raw=true (Actually I do have a lulzy Qntra for this evening)

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> if mircea_popescu dun feel like qntra -- BingoBoingo , then ? << I can/will qntra, but in the future when you are lulzing about the details of a thing and are unsure if editor is awake/digging-liming holes/trying to get older sober lady to 13th step him, maybe consider writing a qntra while you have and are playing with the details? Makes for more timely publication when editor is awake? Publication can happen faster when

asciilifeform: seem deliberately designed to prevent contributors having legal recourse in the case of misuse of your money. In either event, I believe the standards of transparency and integrity in this organization are well below what is needed for a blockchain project, which is why I can no longer a part of it.'

asciilifeform: Over the last two days 37500 ETH has been withdrawn from the multisig wallet by the CEO, Yonatan Ben Shimon without any explanation or announcement due to the need for "hedging". Yonatan keeps claiming he's working with Bitcoin Suisse and it's all okay, but so far I haven't seen any evidence of this. I suggest you all demand an explanation and keep a close watch. In all likelihood your guppies are worthless- the terms and conditions

asciilifeform: 'I regret to announce as cofounder of Matchpool that I am leaving this project. I was involved in architecting Matchpool, writing the white paper and writing the first draft of the smart contracts. I was not involved in the implementation of the ICO. I have asked internally what is going on with the funds you sent to Matchpool, but have not received a satisfactory answer....

mircea_popescu: i am ya

phf: i'm going to become this guy instead http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5292/5561497850_c1f42f470a.jpg

phf: i think i'm going to not do computers anymore. i'm done.

asciilifeform: i wish !!

mircea_popescu: i am.

asciilifeform: i can't speak re serious inner-party (above box is 1 of the 3 uni of chicago found so far) but for proles, house owner is expected to front 1/4 - 1/2 of the cost.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can't imagine anyone paid for this.

mircea_popescu: i dunno we care enough to actually bother. will see what this list tallies up to.

hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-06#1638497 << hahahaha. i can imagine w/e princeton folks flipping out between this (if reading logs, and/or chicago cronies panic at them) and the earlier email ☝︎

asciilifeform: or at least such that were plugged into external ip (why?! -- i have nfi)

mircea_popescu: i just linked a link from phuctor stats page.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually there's a bunch of similar boxes near where i live

asciilifeform: on the day i moved away -- it worked still.

asciilifeform: i once changed a neighbour's router admin pw to 'pigfucker'

CompanionCube: I would say 'what if the owner finds out'...but since they left it at admin/admin...

mircea_popescu: so if i change the settings now re eg voltage ima start a battery fire.

mircea_popescu: i ~utterly hate~ having to tell noobs that.

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> sorry i can't hear you over the sound of hillary clinton's pantsuit. << lel

asciilifeform: i have nfi! but dun appear to be disinfo.

ben_vulpes: i might not have cared enough to register it

mircea_popescu: eh, i'm sure they don't imagine the actual blockchain may get lost.

danielpbarron: i have 5.5 5.6 5.7 and 5.8

shinohai: I was actually thinking about it after my last catastrophe

asciilifeform: i still wonder how come nobody's pressed a disk of blockchain.

phf: right, 6.0 also had a cd, i think 5.9 is leftover stock

phf: asciilifeform: i can't find any announcement. only mention is on the front page, everywhere else it's same as it's always been

asciilifeform: all i have is a plush stuffed freebsd devil -- and only because old gf gave me.

asciilifeform: lulzy/numismatic; i never had a linux/bsd poster, or cd set, or statue, etc

danielpbarron: actually i'm wearing the hoodie right now, hah

danielpbarron: i also have a bunch of posters

danielpbarron: i stopped paying much attention to obsd a year+ ago

danielpbarron: i bought for exactly these reasons you are going over, back when obsd was still in favor here

phf: well, i bought 5.9 "while supplies last", though i believe they are rolling out 6.1 next

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: 'modify' with microwave oven ain't the sort of modification i was speaking of, no.

asciilifeform: a stamped aluminum cd is second only to mask rom in longevity (i have cd 30+ yrs old) and immutability.

ben_vulpes: oh i'm sure i can modify a pressed aluminum disk

danielpbarron: i have an opened 5.5, i can start with that

asciilifeform: i find it slightly outrageous that i have a pressed aluminum ratheadlinux from 1990s but not a pressed aluminum gcc4.9 or trb-genesis etc

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: where i live they pop up on electric traffic signs (that normally warn of jams, or of how many years of jail drunks get, etc)

phf: i was about to refresh my openbsd version and discovered that openbsd no longer make/sell a 3-cd set. end of an era

ben_vulpes: oh hey did i successfully turn amber alerts off?

asciilifeform: (i.e. when nukes had not fallen)

danielpbarron: oh i heard one of those "if this was a real emergency" things that actually was an "emergency" -- it said a kid was missing, last seen... WITH FATHER

ben_vulpes: i have nfi what is in fashion

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i thought the latest fashion is that the ~kid~ plays tetris etc

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it's a thing that has 2 modes, 'ahci' and 'legacy' (or 'compatibility') << I refer to these modes internally as "James Lafond Presents Baltimore" and "Antebellum Kitchen"

asciilifeform: prior to it , i had a massive parallel port thing that needed two dozen jumpers moved when you changed chip types, and only really worked well from an emulated dos session.

asciilifeform: i recommend TL866 programmator.

asciilifeform: but i have nfi what hp has.

danielpbarron: asciilifeform, i don't see where i would set 'legacy' mode in my bios

danielpbarron: er um, signing it too. or i can send you random string to enclude with it if you want

asciilifeform: (i suspect that your lilo is not built with 'native' sata support)

danielpbarron: i have lilo working on this machine infront of me that runs eulora, same hp workstation, but it is using an IDE cable to connect rather than sata

danielpbarron: the kernel works. i tested it in grub2

danielpbarron: i can get lilo to show its kernel select menu, and then i tries over and over again (with seemingly random time before giving up) to load the kernel

asciilifeform: i.e. true hardware raid.

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i have not tried it personally. but, given the vintage, i suspect that it is same chip as on my 3ware.

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: mine had an empty pad where the raid oughta be, so i have nfi

danielpbarron: while on that subject: i hear it has hardware raid built in. do you recommend using this?

danielpbarron: i don't think it's exotic. hp xw9400 workstation

danielpbarron: also i've been banging my head against a wall trying to figure out how to get LILO to work (should have taken notes the first time!!)

danielpbarron: i don't have a copy. maybe freenode dropped a line idk

shinohai: danielpbarron: Didn't I give yu a copy?

danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1638106 << whatever the defaults. and before anyone says "why didn't you backup" -- I do have a mysqldump containing most of the articles. missing the last few between last dump and system death. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: hey, what can i tell you. if you were in the town when the town caught a little fire, uncle celestial teapot wants you. noli turbare circulos meos may work, but just as well may not work.

asciilifeform: i dare say, the ones that put on the cock cages ~voluntarily~ -- are.

mircea_popescu: did i recount the story of the very respectable fellow who lived with us for a week or so early 90s ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was being prescriptive, not descriptive.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd bet they see ~us~ as the outnumbered zulu. not themselves.

asciilifeform: assimilationist ('i'ma go to new york and suck white cock the rest of my days') or irredentist ('i'ma learn to ride horses, shoot rifles, and kill as many of them as i can')

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i am making an observation here, rather than prescription. (teaching tiny and hopelessly outnumbered eastern monkeystans how to kill billion-man enemy -- is above my pay grade)

asciilifeform: su -- maybe 80% juche; 90s ru -- 90% kowtow ; modern ru -- though i observe from afar -- maybe half.

asciilifeform: i forget the original term, but translates to eng as something like 'kowtow' (originally itself a corruption of chinese word)

mircea_popescu: i've been meditating on this, wtf is www even for, again ?

Framedragger: CompanionCube: i checked and apparently selenium is primarily branded as 'automation framework' - you're right (but folx use it for scraping)

Framedragger: yes i see. amazing.

Framedragger: phf: ugggghhh. (now i recall you possibly mentioning this in relation to archive.is; i see i see.. that's what they do)

mircea_popescu: i dunno "same reason ustard did it" applies outside of "the country"

Framedragger: i wonder if "can run archive requests on 'uncleaned' (i.e.: already possibly infected) VM" could be allowed for. it's not exactly a gpg-signed-msg timestamping service.

mircea_popescu: i suppose in principle could exist as an "proper archival browser extension". i suppose very close to what ppl like browsershots etc do

asciilifeform: i have a cl interface to selenium written from some years ago, i used it to cheat spammers

Framedragger: (i suppose an imperfect ('may fail on particularly gruesome imperial sites', say) prototype as a *standalone command line program* would make sense.)

mircea_popescu: i suppose this is part of the problem of "wtf were the design goals again ?" -- swiss knife syndrome, many things for many people at many different times.

mircea_popescu: honestly i'm not even sure i actually want to archive, eg, fake news sites.

doppler: ^-- that's what I was referring to.

mircea_popescu: well i didn't want to archive "artists" flash bs in 2007 either

doppler: I'm so glad flash player sites are mostly gone now, but JS has just taken its place really

asciilifeform: which is why i half-seriously suggested 'archiver oughta be a rack of instrumented ipads and ocrtron'

mircea_popescu: sorry i can't hear you over the sound of hillary clinton's pantsuit.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually i have a fairly accurate idea. but last time i opened the reactor cover, at least there was ~1~ copy of truetype shitfest running per box...

mircea_popescu: i suspect alf is blessfully unaware of what utter shitshow fonts / glyphs are irl. and bid him keep his innocence

mircea_popescu: i even linked some lulz re idiot font loading in wwwturds.
