asciilifeform: you'd have to varnish them, i suspect.
asciilifeform: i could picture a water-cooled thing with a very short loop, and good seals (i.e. no expectation of ever being able to disassemble it: welded copper pipes, like your fridge) not leaking.
ben_vulpes: and if they're water cooled i'll probably pass
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't have any quads yet
ben_vulpes: i don't think i want watercooled irreplaceable computronium
asciilifeform: (i.e. not a repainted wintel box, but actual exotica)
ben_vulpes: i've yet to lay hands on a qc
ben_vulpes: sans incantations because i had no idea which would take
ben_vulpes: yeah i got into open firmware, attempted booting from all usb options
trinque: ben_vulpes: https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/macppc/INSTALL.macppc << I want to say the device comes up as "ud" for USB... sometimes
mod6: also, I think the idea of deedifying my version of V is also worthwhile... I think I've simply been waiting for it to satisfy the constraints before creating a genesis. Once that's created, then I'd say it'd be worthy of freezing.
trinque: mod6: I'm quite happy to host anything that supports trb work
ben_vulpes: so i have procured OPTICAL MEDIA
trinque: and understand, outside of the L1, your opinion on how infrastructure is run is worth nothing, and your "everyone does X, so I can" construction makes you sound like a bed-wetter.
ben_vulpes: this leaves i believe phf's wintermute, with its once-decade of uptime
trinque: ftr, all trb downloads come from a dedicated deeds box I've been happy to run as core infrastructure pro bono.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 21:44 fd_travel: i recall checking deedbot's and a111's IPs (digitalocean etc), but hey, if it worx.
mircea_popescu: and fuck me i'm not reading that ctrlc.hu marmalade. "after years of marmalade im done"
diana_coman: back in Ro, in my experience gipsies had fewer if any such troubles re speaking to women, naked or not; they were quite cowards (i.e. if someone took them to task/seemed powerful around they would retreat) but otherwise not suffering from much anxiety re the interaction itself
diana_coman: so perhaps not that much at odds after all; re the female imagined part, I suspect that has more to do with fact that ... "what'll happen" depends on who gets her out
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well... considering what's on youtube, i wouldn't be surprised if they had.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi. he never heard of tumblr i guess ?
mircea_popescu: i imagine he ran. also i don't imagine he got any this year.
mircea_popescu: i think he was married. there was a very hot and bothared youth. he made it first.
mircea_popescu: which i deduce is their slang for smoking pot.
mircea_popescu: anyway. sarge explained to me that it's not done here. and also wanted to know if i "consume"
mircea_popescu: i suspect everyone in the field just HAD to come over to see this wonder. i'm guessing they literally never heard of such before.
mircea_popescu: apparently they're very enamoured with the idea that you get robbed here. nfi why. i guess it keeps them in jobs.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it was lulzy, "let's see your papers" "well i don't carry them" "why not ?" "the embassy told me not to because i'll get robbed." "oh".
mircea_popescu: i didn't get a ticket for it.
asciilifeform: i set up a lisp in there once, even (i forget which, may have been clisp) but it was a pain, whole process had to be born when page is loaded, and promptly die
asciilifeform: the thing is hyper-optimized for hosting well-ddosed blogs. and specifically ones running on 1990s-style software, where the cpu is idle except when somebody is actually loading a page. but other than that imposes no restrictions on proggies you run, last i saw you even had gcc in there, could build own, run.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: we are speaking of simulacra. i have nfi if it is physically a 'whole' process.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: it suffers -- besides the obvious minuses described earlier -- from the martian problem. i.e. if it ever dies, there is no ready replacement
asciilifeform: for all i know, they wrote from scratch.
asciilifeform: i do not in fact know the exact mechanism.
ben_vulpes: i don't want to think about that
asciilifeform: also ben_vulpes may be right, i do not know if the proper name for what nfs co does is 'vps'.
asciilifeform: (they also have a thing, iirc, where you can buy 'buckets' of bandwidth, for use in case of elaborate ddos, but i have not tried it)
fd_travel: yeah i liked quite a few things about them when i spotted them long ago, micro-precision accounting, etc.
asciilifeform: at any rate, for the price it is quite impossible to beat, i have nfi how they are able to supply this kind of service, at that price.
asciilifeform: they also claim that they have never dropped a paying account other than by court order , but i have no way of knowing if true.
fd_travel: i wonder how they handle ddos. i mean, maybe your blog is just not baitsy enough :p
asciilifeform: i pay couplea bux per mo for what is in effect five-nines uptime, and the closest thing i've ever seen to infinite ddos resistance
asciilifeform: i am actually rather fond of my vps hoster, nfs co (discussed in the logs at least twice, one of which was the time mircea_popescu wrote to them 'why not bitcoin?' and they answered 'bitcoin is a snore', he then barfed)
fd_travel: i wouldn't trust their virtualised 'dedicated box' offer to actually be dedicated but who knows
fd_travel: i recall checking deedbot's and a111's IPs (digitalocean etc), but hey, if it worx. ☟︎
fd_travel: yesyes. fwiw the ssh banner db is on dedicated server. i just have an old vps which has been doing just fine actually
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 20:52 phf: ben_vulpes: i was thinking of wiring in an auto-upper for never seen accounts, but given the quality of ups.. i do wonder, if were to up them "faster" maybe they'll talk better
Framedragger: i simply haven't internalised the republic's world_takeover_timeline.txt
ben_vulpes: i'll be surprised if new people are even welcome without immediately joining the wot and introducing themselves much after q3
phf: i'm not sure the idea is relevant, since you can just have an open channel for funneling already
Framedragger: bots autoup folks there, use channel as funnel of good material into #trilema; or, bots calculate entropy of nicks outputting there, creating automatic pipeline.. horrible idea i know
ben_vulpes: i'd almost rather see an auto-kicker ☟︎
phf: ben_vulpes: i was thinking of wiring in an auto-upper for never seen accounts, but given the quality of ups.. i do wonder, if were to up them "faster" maybe they'll talk better ☟︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: i assume, yes, and ask as i have nfi what even to search for
asciilifeform: that one time i sent a sample of boards to mircea_popescu , in 2014, was a real lulzfest
asciilifeform: i do idly wonder what the parcels will look like on the other end of their trip.
asciilifeform: https://camp.hsbp.org/2016/pp7e0/fahrplan/system/attachments/22/original/camp__.pdf << sooo i look at his pcb -- antenna track?! then read, 'key exchange over 2.4GHz', 'post-quantum crypto (newhope and symmetric)'
mircea_popescu: ah i did not.
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm slow, but i can't connect that to the q ?
asciilifeform: 'where am i?' 'you are in a car'
mircea_popescu: ten years later i finally figured out what fucking possessed nival to ruin heroes of might and magic 5.
phf: "i have an irc client???"
mircea_popescu: it's the I[di]OT way. browsers "prefetch" pages, on it goes.
mircea_popescu: postapocalyptica, yes ? "i wonder what this rope is connected to" "nothing."
phf: guy connects to trilema from his android, gets banned, still doesn't reach out to anybody. "oh, i'm sorry, my bad, i will learn to wash ass", something
mircea_popescu: phf and i bet the happenstance that friend-describes-him-as-not-smooth and the incidental that no-hot-chicks-take-to-his-bower are entirely and wholly unrelated in his own estimation, if somehow it were to be obtained yes ?
phf: i know a guy who rickshaws (in new york, now in austin), and loved it for that very reason. i think he stopped because young girls don't typically get pedicab, mostly drunken old women who "grab his ass" etc.
asciilifeform: no i was speaking of the pedal folx
mircea_popescu: i expect they're just trying to meet girls.
mircea_popescu: "but everyone uses it!" dun matter "but it's really cool!" dun matter "but i really like it!" you're an orc, do the opposite of your natural impulse because your natural impulse is made of shit. etc etc.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly the point, and i suspect the definitional characteristic of orcdom : the inability to distinguish science mag from cosmo. the failure to comprehend ipad is not nor can not be, no matter what happens, the times.
asciilifeform: why they instead have win2k -- i cannot say
asciilifeform: it is entirely possible to be 'behind the times' in a non-retarded way, e.g. 'what ipad, i still have a working pdp11'
asciilifeform: i did find myself wondering, what exactly microshit did to make sure that it in fact ended up happening in 'we heard of computer in 2010' planet.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure.
asciilifeform: and here i was, wondered if they even had the net there.
asciilifeform: i still wonder, the lurk remoras, they have no www browser on their box ?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: oh i know
diana_coman: I guess so
diana_coman: that's precisely my point: I get it that some 20 years ago they went into teaching for this reason; meanwhile it's so constricted and day by day more so that ...
diana_coman: ugh, I thought it was already more than obvious that no power at all,what with all the assorted "rights" and "child protection" and what nots
mircea_popescu: why do 30yos go around on the software adequate for the needs of a 14yo in 1817 is anyone's guess, but i suppose its proper name is progress.
diana_coman: tbh I have no idea why/how would someone go into teaching at this moment; my only hypothesis is that really, really, they have NO other option at all
shinohai: Now that mircea_popescu pointed out fangs in "The anti-woman" I see them everywhere http://archive.is/3Hujw
shinohai: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson: " I didn't want this job .... but mah wife has me pussywhipped so I did it."
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> if i went out with a wrench and threatened people to break their head unless they pay me 100 pesos i'd break all the heads << That's so primitive. Gotta break out the Chain Tongs like a pro!
shinohai: np mod6 .... I see you got to the release before I got to msg you and let ya know the other tests went fine, but I didn't expect hiccups after this morning's first.
asciilifeform: i can already picture naggum, might have said, 'hey whatsthematter gnatelim is not part of ada standard, nobody promised you that it'll work and not cut out beating heart from an in-use package'
mod6: Ladies and Gentlemen of The Most Serene Republic: I have published a new version of V (99994 K), submitted here: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2017-March/000260.html
mircea_popescu: mod6 and they got a printout so fucking crisp and clear ~i~ could read it
mircea_popescu: i paid cash for, eg, computed tomography here. "immense sum" aka $450.
mod6: Someday, I'll probably elaborate more. But wow, what a failure.
mod6: I'll tell ya, I've never had much prior experience but... the american health care "system" is about as useless as rubber lips on a woodpecker.
mircea_popescu: if i went out with a wrench and threatened people to break their head unless they pay me 100 pesos i'd break all the heads
mircea_popescu: over icecream i read in some fashion mag about this female imbecile that "closed a chapter in her life bla bla" and dedicated herself full time to her... interior decoration blog.
shinohai: I got into a 2-3 page lulzfest with Fenton abt Brock being a pedo, he defended him to the end
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 15:46 phf: jeez, i like how they are not even trying. a bootstrap template one pager and a link to "bitcointalk thread"
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should say derisions.
