ben_vulpes: $girl has been probing for the caek i will eat. so far, not much success.
BingoBoingo binging on cake today. I am powerless over cake and my lyfe is still pretty manageable.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi tbh.
asciilifeform: also unlike sov world, time sat in 'jail' (i.e. pre-sentencing, vs 'prison') does not automagically subtract from the sentence, if sentenced.
mircea_popescu: i've not been reviewing prison records. but if you do - guaranteed steady supply of wtf.
asciilifeform: long-term 'captain kidds', as i currently understand, are rare.
mircea_popescu: i don't, specifically, but you run into them with some regularity when spelunking in court "records".
asciilifeform: i wonder if he is sitting in same jail as the encrypted hdd d00d
asciilifeform: i can already picture the d00d throwing a cryptogram into the crowd at his hanging, like capt. kidd.
mircea_popescu: bitch, if and when i feel like buying you a new pair of sneakers i know where the shop is and where i keep my money.
mircea_popescu: 15yo marches downstairs, "i am giving you another chance to buy me a car"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think the content of the rt link may have happened in angloverse.
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2013/why-i-am-not-a-white-nationalist << apparently here
asciilifeform: btw i'm not certain if the old films are being burned for commercial reasons, or very specific cultural cleansing: you can see the faces of now-extinct types of civilization-builders, their works, in old film, in a way that is not so accessible (at least to the simple folx) from viewing static photo
mircea_popescu: i guess one box, one man and his red stapler in an office building basement somewhere do yet survive.
mircea_popescu: i recall they cut staff at some point. haven't pulled the plug yet evidently.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wouldn't be surprised if it came out that the old celluloids were properly burned.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect you're right. of course, a nation that deliberately destroys the memory of competence in the hopes of making life more comfortable for itself merely succeeds in making death that much closer. but that's another tale.
mircea_popescu: but of what. i had "high res" scan of andalou dog in my hands, the real mccoy. 99% compressed it looked exactly the same the original's just that bad.
mircea_popescu: yes i'll get archival copy of stuff i like. amusingly, 99% of which doesn't exist in better resolution anyway. wtf am i going to do with an archival copy of cat on the hot tin roof, watch the original artefacts in preference of the modern ones ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: then again, diablo 2 notably got to keep its cutscenes. so i think it was very much an aesthetic decision.
mircea_popescu: i for first time saw mm7 cutscenes recently. they're pretty idiotic.
mircea_popescu: fucking 7gb monstrosities they do nowadays. like i really have to see the unwatchable crap in high definition.
asciilifeform: many years later i saw the uncut versions and meh
mircea_popescu: i also prefer older formats for movies. was only last week screaming at girl, "stop getting movies over 650mb. it is enough."
mircea_popescu: phf no cutscenes and no cd audio tracks was the standard for my gaming experience. tbh i liked it.
asciilifeform: when i was writing http://www.loper-os.org/?p=568 , it took me surprising amount of sweat to track down a working copy of hypercard
phf: i've been trying to track down whole earths catalog hypercard for a while, but so far unsuccesfully. haven't tried hard enough though
phf: i briefly had an account on a mac warez server, that you could only connect to using a mac os 9 exclusive tool (in 2010!)
phf: i think there was this famous doom-like, that came out before doom, but otherwise it seems like all were either ports from dos, or else ported to dos
asciilifeform: these were ~nonexistent on warez, and i never had the machine. so it was complete mystery.
asciilifeform: i still wonder re the lost world of mac warez. were there significant gamez?
phf: which also meant that some guys were forever unobtanium. like phatansmagoria, i saw it at a "legit" computer store once, but didn't get to play until i could lift it off tpb years later
asciilifeform: though i did play these same rips from warez leeched via 9600baud modem.
asciilifeform: no, i did not live to see this in person.
asciilifeform: aha i left when 'mystery disk' was a 5inch floppy that elder brother would bring home from chum's house.
asciilifeform: ( recall when i suggested to distribute trb+buildroot+gcc et al. on a cdrom. )
asciilifeform: lulzily, i never held in my hands a physical cd with any of these
phf: i suspect the cds predate the "here kid". they would also contain current issues of phrack. the thinking is probably "i'm going to pad it with every single thing i could find on my upstream BBS"
mircea_popescu: i thought there's a service where you send them your mangled/burned/whatever bills and they credit it to your account.
asciilifeform: (my first encounter with this, was many years, as a boy, i went on a tour of the u.s. mint, back when they gave tours, and they had a souvenir shop where you could buy shredded benjies by the kilogram)
asciilifeform: i'd bet that the 'reprinted' nokia will resemble that ti calculator
phf: i was curious. mt uses to produce pretty accurate translations that i would not have guessed, but it's been wikipidiotized at some point, so now it gives every single possible relevant translation
asciilifeform: nfi. but i was under impression that folx expected to piss back, do not get pissed on in this way.
mircea_popescu: i like it how cuban is "billionaire" also.
asciilifeform: i dun see a massive diff b/w trying to use chicken as fuckhole and as 'companion'
mircea_popescu: and i mean that literally.
asciilifeform: i'd much rather see retarded folx make hats for cats, endearingly harmless , than to shit into the net, imho
mircea_popescu: and AT FIRST i thought she's the tits, because hey, seemed like she's aware of a by now 20 yo mockery of the exact genre.
mircea_popescu: i met one who made papier mache hats.
mircea_popescu: trinque they're hysterical with the self-identifying, too. "i do x-with-y dorkitude". you know, like "i'm a doctor". "i paint seashells with nail polish"
asciilifeform: actually i have almost nfi re who these are or how
mircea_popescu: "for as lord as i hear the voice of google and all the websaints, i am not properly alone in teh valley of where mp rapes my buttonhole daily."|
asciilifeform: i have definitely seen proper bums with phone here in my monkeystan. so this is solid.
asciilifeform: i assumed they had cut into a line...
a111: Logged on 2017-02-16 07:20 ben_vulpes: i know a gent who is cursed with one of the later, more expensive models and he keeps it in a piece of leather to hide the ads.
ben_vulpes: upstairs of the cafe where asciilifeform and i had coffees with chetty was hugely bathroom, and the space that wasn't bathroom unused
mircea_popescu: i ask the maitre d' "so what happened to your bathroom ?" "uh... it's always been like that."
ben_vulpes: i ever tell you about how i took sport in fixing toilets in ars my first trip there?
mircea_popescu: eh, cheap chino item. i set it on the windowsill. stepped inside for a moment. wind rolled it into the gap. when i came back, 5 mins later... gone.
ben_vulpes: yaok i get it. no traffic, no train.
mircea_popescu: istanbul airport processes about 5-10k people/hour, every hour, every day. i haven't seen anything like that since before maga.
mircea_popescu: i am relatively proud to say i have by now seen just about every inch of this ~largest town on earth.
ben_vulpes: surely not i thought that was an actual subway
mircea_popescu: ah, those. i went on the light rail here, it was a spicy adventure. i don't think they EVER maintain the tracks. solid 10 minutes of screeching.
ben_vulpes: hey i found a slut on the train to pycon one year!
mircea_popescu: in retrospect i guess shoulda brought the adspad.
mircea_popescu: last time i was actually on a train-train i bought out the sleeping car and had the girls naked and rubbing before it rolled out of the station.
ben_vulpes: i do low-intensity email and various other tasks that don't call for focus on the train
mircea_popescu: otherwise wtf... so you get hard and... oh shit i didn't plan this far ahead... uhmmm... i guess fuck this here keyhole.
ben_vulpes: don't ask me, i'm not sixty female and fat
ben_vulpes: excellent little device for erotica on the train "or so i hear"
ben_vulpes: every release past the first if i recall correctly. second you could buy an ad-free version, but...
ben_vulpes: i know a gent who is cursed with one of the later, more expensive models and he keeps it in a piece of leather to hide the ads. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i am fond of the device. it has a slow, but acceptable resolution screen for reading old texts of middling ocr quality, fits in jeans pocket. most importantly and differentiating it from later models, it shows no ads.
ben_vulpes: and in yet other "you don't own this device" news, my v1 kindle does this amazing trick when i email it .mobi files where it briefly displays them and then immediately removes them
ben_vulpes: in other radiation damage, $client calls up, "hey latest chrome doesn't work with $app from inside the muni vpn" "...can you swing a vpn or shall i get on a plane?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why not guess the same but the other way ? "i never made a budget in a public institution, but if i had i'd know you always overprovision so the '''watchdogs''' can cut something and feel useful. i guess flynn was that."
asciilifeform: i'd guess that if he doesn't end on a meathook, it is because he is willing to follow instructions.
mircea_popescu: i don't see flynn on any meathooks. be consistent.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude that is like the most inept scoring i ever saw. for one thing, trump scored like 500 touchdowns. for the other, srsly flynn is half a point.
mircea_popescu: as i said, it's fun to watch.
asciilifeform: i'd picture that he is next 'ru stooge' then.
asciilifeform: incidentally i realized that, sadly, trb will need a (simple) patch in order to link via 'g'. from simple fact that, by default, it does not like to connect to 127.0.0.1:weirdport
mircea_popescu: no i meant re bip 151
mod6: yup, i should add that I am running with malleus.
mod6: my test node gets bh'd all the time, still responds to rpc commands. i typically do the samething, stop. wait a bit, restart.
mircea_popescu: i suspect one willing to live a monk's year with this might end up with a handful of servers inside ft meade in his hands.
hanbot: i assumed that entailed eventual unblackholing. granted i haven't had the patience to wait more than a day to see.
asciilifeform: ~all adventurers are 'second sons', i thought this was elementary
asciilifeform: btw i suspect this is where the real bile re 'invading mexican' comes out of.
mircea_popescu: i would offer it as a fact that there's more people within the contiguous 51 states (bahamas addedone, what!) on whom the irs dun work than there's webdevelopers.
asciilifeform: there are plenty of interesting folx i never met, trinque . but meeting them does not magically turn anyone into them.
asciilifeform: (granted i never met him in the meat either.)
trinque: I recall having a neighbor from $southernshithole a while back
mircea_popescu: alrighty. los angeles. roxbury, since i just mentioned it. pittsburg.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand , trinque was speaking of usa locales
mircea_popescu: trinque yeah, i wouldn't particulartly mind seeing the answer to that riddle play out
mircea_popescu: i'm kinda curious how this plays out myself.
asciilifeform: where do i read about petrosniffers pre-70s
