Ingolfr_Arnarson: agustin againhere, messed up not remembering the gpg passphrase just created. And changed my nickname for the name I go around usually.
ben_vulpes: i see it
ben_vulpes: i will take delivery of the lols, tyvm
asciilifeform: i did, it was glorious
jurov: i recommend clicking next by thread, it only gets lulzier
asciilifeform: '... the demonstrated fact that they are unwilling to make the well documented changes to deploy IPv6 because they simply refuse to make a change, or to learn something new. ... In the beta version of Windows XP I made sure IPv6 was ON-BY-DEFAULT, with no knob to turn it off, because I knew that given the option enterprise administrators would turn it off. I lost the battle in the shipping version though, and sure enough the first
agustin: The key does not expire I created it that way.
agustin: I have a gpg key now.
ben_vulpes: "b-b-b-but i didn't siiiign that tweet!"
mats: i'm not headed there, just curious if he's going to fly into us for trial and anal soldering
mats: now that POTUS has commuted Manning's sentence, i wonder if Assange is going to come in, as per https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/819630102787059713
mircea_popescu: i actually became a patriot with the invention of tmsr, whodda thunk it. i never thought i would care enough.
mats: i thought i was a patriot for a stretch.
ben_vulpes: i am all for increasing social programs
ben_vulpes: mats: so long as i get some, whatever
mats: asciilifeform: similarly, i prefer that my neighbors avoid supporting local homeless populations
ben_vulpes: i prefer extinguishing all fauna and covering the landscape in identical plastic potemkin suburbs
mats: i prefer that my neighbors avoid supporting pests that annihilate the local fauna
asciilifeform: jurov: i did not go to veterinary school, did not know this algo.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: yeah, the beasts i keep find cats entertaining prey
ben_vulpes: i don't keep cats, you don't need to caution me about taking them home.
mircea_popescu: i had no idea asciilifeform was an incatcel.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah it is just that normally i can't catch'em
mircea_popescu: i liked them to, but i don't go around picking them up on the criteria of how much they need me to.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it so happens that i like felines of all types. (they do not, however, like me much.) so i picked up the half-dead one.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-17 18:52 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: actually i found this one a few blocks away, on a walk. spent considerable money and effort in attempt to grow it.
mircea_popescu: i thought you had a wife.
mircea_popescu: i'll never be fucking rid of that nonsense will i!
mircea_popescu: i don't think hacker news is cool enough to be here
ben_vulpes: i'm not done
ben_vulpes: i have more shitty jokes from hacker news
ben_vulpes: i'm seriously kidding
ben_vulpes: i am occasionally au courant
ben_vulpes: i have more bad ideas if you want some
danielpbarron: yes i'm looking at the diff now
Framedragger: truns out `diff` and/or version control are useful :p "what shit did i change..."
mircea_popescu: i'd say it's very good crash course.
mircea_popescu: oh and also "danielpbarron> why would adding a declaration like this cause it to crash? apparently some other change i made that works without crashing on its own conflicts with this somehow".
mircea_popescu: ah, i'm not proposing anything of the sort, just giving some "stuff related", ie, that he's not entirely on his own
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i read this (iirc, this very one) when it came out, and still question the arrow of causality here
mircea_popescu: oh speaking of schizophrenia, anyone seen the film i watched last night and which is quite excellent on the topic but i can't rememeber its name ?
Framedragger: i have to share this 'cause it's lulzy: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/at3ds/?raw=true
Framedragger: will honestly review. i don't want to appear completely naive here
trinque: I don't think you realize the politics behind it.
BingoBoingo: Ah, I usually don't see too incredibly young ones. Most often dead critters I find are smaller ones that seem to have been "cat entertainment"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: actually i found this one a few blocks away, on a walk. spent considerable money and effort in attempt to grow it. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> unrelatedly, and BingoBoingo might find this interesting, i finally tamed one of the wildcats, but she died four days later. i dug grave at midnight, and wondered if neighbours would call police. but nobody did. << I usally bury dead critters found on premises as well. Just keep them out of the compost.
asciilifeform: now this is interesting, and has weight, because i actually envied the old woman her ability to get the cats to come indoors
hanbot: asciilifeform: she wanted to be important, i imagine. you shouldn't feed fish to cats, don'tchaknow, cause what if that's not what's good for them. this, ofc, buried in metric fuckton of babbling, todo biens, etc. i'm honestly ashamed i didn't outright sock her one. i end up questioning whether i've a moral imperative to massacre almost every time i venture out by now.
asciilifeform: what can i say, i live in one of those also.
asciilifeform: i bet mircea_popescu could have his 'chaika' fixed somewhere in b-a
mircea_popescu: and i saw a bunch of parrots squeaking reveille.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i saw quite a few old-fashioned greasy mechanic shops on the streets of b-a
mircea_popescu: and i met 1980s russian proletariat and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: they're all white, but without exception the stupidest people i ever met.
mircea_popescu: anyone seriously looking for practical proof re the whole race-intelligence nonsense is invited to spend some time in buenos aires doing anything. start a bakery, i don't care.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the depths of argentina imbecility can either be comprehended or described withouy a multi-year commitment. it's just a different planet down here.
Framedragger: i liked "incidental sexpr", too >> http://btcbase.org/log/2015-09-09#1267282 ☝︎
asciilifeform: but i still have the fleas. so i suppose i could open flea circus.
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, and BingoBoingo might find this interesting, i finally tamed one of the wildcats, but she died four days later. i dug grave at midnight, and wondered if neighbours would call police. but nobody did.
asciilifeform: relatedly, i found that streets of odessa are all on 'google street', and discovered that ~every single cafe there is a mcdonalds now.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: so. the more I read from people like Emin (a "respected" academic) the more sad I become that education is now a scam. maybe its true. can't beat stupid.
mircea_popescu: o look, the uterine / viteline thing dun work in english. aaanyway. "any other bovine" i guess.
asciilifeform: i could think of many other animals i'd rather raise for meat

mircea_popescu: "I am a female incel. In 3 weeks I will be a 25 year old virgin. A socially anxious, insecure, overweight, suicidal, complete failure. I'm going to die a kissless virgin. I will always be poor, always lack traditional beauty, always be an obtuse person. Intelligence and grace will never come naturally. And despite years of positivity about myself and with some idea that I was unique and beautiful in my own way, I realize-- th
mats: also, i learned of 'Amish erotica' today: http://www.newsweek.com/2015/05/08/fifty-shades-amish-strange-genre-romance-novel-324940.html
pete_dushenski: ya, i just happen to be in that spot. skews perspective.
mircea_popescu: aite then, i guess there must be some nooks and crannies where the 1k machine makes sense.
pete_dushenski: ok i'll keep it a secret!
ben_vulpes: eh i don't really fancy swapping tires every season, 'tis a 1-week twice-a-year sort of thing.
ben_vulpes: yeah well i wanted to see how good the filter was, not how bad the search was.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i searched 'legal engineering' and 'perens'
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/rwB5B is all i found.
asciilifeform: (i made a heathen box with massive 3d card, but so far have not used for ~anything.)
asciilifeform: ^ this is much spiffier than the box i typically sit in front of, ftr.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-06 13:28 mircea_popescu: like what ? something like amd fx 9500 is, i bet, way ahead anything apple ever put in anything they made.
asciilifeform: to possibly squeeze something useful from thread: as i understand, a lamport-based 'trb-i' ~could~ run on z80. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: aite. well i'm not terribly clear on what the idea is, but i also kind-of grew tired of clipping the junctures for sense, so i dunno.
mircea_popescu: with which part ? i'm not really following
mircea_popescu: retired i imagine.
asciilifeform: where do i buy this magical thing.
asciilifeform: this degree of 'softwarization' of hardware, i have never before seen -- the ubuntized crockofshit approach to seekoority, finally applied down on the iron. yes, let's retrofit crossbar switching on ten layers of liquishit!
BingoBoingo: In other Germans, the emergency stop: https://i.redditmedia.com/LuGCFR_IplvuLMxgoKxs5Q-W99XQAtwrfCLSN2PjCGE.jpg?w=768&s=da5a7ddfad41c1aa4e6a25417b3936cc

mircea_popescu: i very much don';t think there is such a thing as "an optimal solution" in the field
asciilifeform: btw i'm not wholly convinced that it is properly speaking random spew. quite possibly hedging for the time when the keyz finally ~do~ leak.
asciilifeform: 'i have obummer's key!!'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was speaking of upstack link, the talos thing.
mircea_popescu: i am simply saying it's random spew.
mircea_popescu: i'm not saying the contrary of whatever you might have inferred from reading random spew.
asciilifeform: at the risk of creating 'wall of text', i'ma spell out for the l0gz readerz: if you sell properly open cpu, folx then have a cpu. if you sell properly open fpga, they then have cpu, ram controller, video card, nic, etc, etc.
asciilifeform: it. I have access to version 8's signing keys myself, being in that scene, but all my computers use version 11 so I haven't cared to mess with it. It's certainly not common but it is absolutely something that FVEY and related contractors (Raytheon, Leidos, half the people you'll see at ISS, etc) will be able to get their hands on, if they haven't already.'
asciilifeform: 'This post has a lot of misunderstandings behind it. First off, the Intelligence Community does not need to force Intel to give up Manageability Engine keys (or AMD's PSP keys for that matter). Both the keys and the toolchain, as well as the source code are traded underground. I know that at least up to firmware version 8 is traded underground, and version 11 (the latest) is available without difficulty to people who know how to find
jurov: i was actually going to link that, then assumed you'll go all "we already discussed that, gtfo"
asciilifeform: ty jurov for reminding that this existed. i entirely forgot.
asciilifeform: 'The world's first ATX-compatible, workstation-class mainboard for the new, free-software friendly IBM POWER8 processor. Includes one heatsink and 92 mm fan, one ATX-compatible I/O shield, and a live rescue DVD with factory reset utilities, source code for firmware and FPGA components, mainboard schematics, user manual, and Ubuntu installation media. CPU, RAM, power supply, storage drives, and chassis sold separately.'

asciilifeform: but as a lulzware collector i could not resist getting at least 1.
