trinque: the behavior I've seen is that this particular box gets stuck, always immediately resumes receiving blocks when trb is restarted
asciilifeform: trinque: care to post log ?
trinque: eh, I'm not convinced of that
asciilifeform: it's a network problem, not a trb one.
asciilifeform: trinque: not long ago noticed a 400 blox gap on mine, where interestingly restarting did not fix, had to sit for the typical n days and finally meet noads who actually have new blox and dun get malleus'd
trinque: kill trb, restarts, resumes eating
trinque: asciilifeform: hate to report that I just noticed my pizarro box (running aggression) was sitting there doing absolutely nothing for about 4k blox
Mocky: I'm looking at local conferences, local politics, tech and business groups / meetups. expect to chat up street market vendors on the regular if these are actually arabs and not indians
Mocky: mircea_popescu, so local sponsor must hold >50% controlling interest in any new business. local chamber of commerce apparently on the look out for profitable opportunities with foreigners. I'm not sure where else to look specifically aside from generally making a lot of friends and getting introductions. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and i never knew bloomberg to be a source on anything besides pop culture.
mircea_popescu: i never knew paperwork to be worth two shits in arab world.
mircea_popescu: get in a room with the respective people, put the matter plainly to them, shake pinkies and that's that.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-24 03:01 Mocky: ha, "However, the new decree stipulates that if a permanent resident leaves Qatar for more than six months, the interior minister could withdraw from the residency"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-24#1853449 << i would seriously not worry about this paper wank. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i for one have my kernel, and dun expect to ever miss the Official 'new'
mircea_popescu: let the maggots learn the value of stolen stack is 0, and let the "independent", "anonymous" humanrightsetc imbeciles learn there is no life outside of the republic.
mircea_popescu: transforming it into a shitpyre wherein the delicious butttears of thousands of http://trilema.com/2017/the-practical-costs-of-hallucinated-freedom/ manaloning engineers flow freely is the play.
mircea_popescu: which, amusingly enough, is quite convenient for us to do, what with all of trinque's ave1 's & everyoes workl in that direction.
asciilifeform: homo bigmackicus will vote for whatever tv instructs, yes
a111: Logged on 2018-09-24 02:30 asciilifeform: i imagine a maggot's idea of heaven, this, the fresh meat with no prev maggot crew.
mircea_popescu: they go so far as to say "do not vote for this guy, who is new, vote for the known-corrupt-asshole HE HAS SENIORITY"
mircea_popescu: and the principle is so very celebrated there, they even have it enshrined as the ~only basis of senate
asciilifeform: reminds of old-school 'grifters', the kind that marry 85yo heiress
mircea_popescu: but -- yes. the us never had a "leader" other than this sort of scum, slowly worming itself into position. not in the past century, which is to say -- not since it stopped mattering.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, they got 20 years to slowly do it.
mircea_popescu: heir projected ~expenses against linux~ for their 'service' of 'administering code of conduct' << thjis is all the us ever is anymore.
asciilifeform: and from this, goes to have power of attourney and trademark rights? bit of a climb eh
mircea_popescu: exactly for the reason described, "did nothing to me" etc.
mircea_popescu: they just show up, you understand ? remember the item which set the moron bit on djb for me ? some "vance" moron ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i quoted the ur item here once, i think. was schmuck on "wikipedia admin board" going to "help out" unless "anyone asks him to stop".
mircea_popescu: aaanyway, whatever. the wages of sin are death.
asciilifeform: i still dun fully grasp the process whereby a theo 'marries' a bobbeck. what's the draw, exactly
mircea_popescu: and they are stubbornly stupid enough so that neither display of the correct behaviour (say in the celebrated http://trilema.com/2014/the-public-burning-of-bob-beck/ ) nor the theoretical explanation of the methodology (at leastr in http://trilema.com/2014/the-logical-impossibility-and-the-moral-untenability-of-forgiveness/ ) clicks with the shit in their heads
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect, in these, simple cowardice, they aimt eager to move out of the mental universe where 'law and order' and into the lafond planet where earthly carcass actually finds itself
BingoBoingo: Makes the 20 years look easier doesn't it
Mocky: BingoBoingo, yeah but even if you could find one of the ~30k marriage age females (among 3.7M pop), and convince her to endure the social downgrade and forgo citizenship for any children, MUST then convince bride's father & suiter then converts to islam!
mircea_popescu: kinda the problem of freebased i-cant-believe-hes-not-republican, or in asciilifeform 's parlance "partizans" : they have some complicated nonsense about "justifiable use of force" bla bla bla, can't simply bash in heads who "did nothing to you" etc.
mircea_popescu: somewhere someone (lafond maybe ?) explains the problem of "conservative" or "republican" or w/e, johnny cash style pantsuit fucktard, whereby he's "lawyering up" in his mind, and can't curbstomp nigger at first sign of potential disobedience. "oh, he just asked me the time FOR DIFFERENT REASONS ALTOGETHER, this isn't LEGITIMATE REASON to bas his skull in"
a111: Logged on 2018-07-17 13:00 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-17#1835518 << linus is not immortal, and i expect that he will lose control of kernel -- just as he stupidly lost control of his trademark to 'linux foundation' (y'know, with gavin on staff) -- even before dies
mircea_popescu: make it a toxic item in short order.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-24 02:25 asciilifeform: ( whether could have won, or not, whoknows, usg 'court' is approx a bank balance contest. but did not even TRY )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-24#1853434 << importantly, did not even do the item which was all that was needed "there are some muppets out there misusing my trademark, they're scammers and do not deal with them" ☝︎
asciilifeform: eh not exactly sudden, this death
mircea_popescu: anyway. i comiserate, terrible days for asciilifeform ; erryone in his pre-wot just keeps turning shitty.
mircea_popescu: for the exact reason on display : even the most heady, hardy etc still get old and stupid eventually. and later is actually worse than early.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-24 02:14 asciilifeform: and ftr i dun buy mircea_popescu's 'was always a shit' hypothesis. d00d by any possible measure 'by the fruits' was NOT always-shit.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-24#1853420 << i re-read his early announcements re nascent linux (publicly, quoted here) and was not impressed. no, not always shit. always manalone. this DOES NOT work. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: somehow i expect the linux bonfire will not be included in the list of http://trilema.com/2012/and-another-one-bites-the-dust-bitmarketeu/
a111: Logged on 2018-09-24 02:11 asciilifeform: it is interesting to consider diff b/w esr and linus. esr judased a thing he had 0 part in baking, and wanked for 20y on the periphery of. linus on oher hand merrily fucked not only the folx who were dumb enuff to invest 25y into baking with him, but... own life's work
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-24#1853417 << then people want to talk about how "you can never trust bitcoin operators, always will split and run". ☝︎
BingoBoingo: They seem to have the usual "marry a qualified local get a permit" deal
Mocky: ha, "However, the new decree stipulates that if a permanent resident leaves Qatar for more than six months, the interior minister could withdraw from the residency" ☟︎
asciilifeform: 20y puts it in the weight category of jp, lichtenstein, swiss.
Mocky: seems like a play at keeping those who are already 'lifers', but unofficially so
asciilifeform: 'those born abroad would need to have lived there 20 years' << bit of a downer
asciilifeform: i recall a subj thrd
asciilifeform: 'Qatar is abolishing the exit visa required before expatriate workers are allowed to leave the country' << interesting
Mocky: but only if lived there for 20 years and among 100 'blessed' applicants per year
Mocky: in other news, Qatar becomes First Gulf State to Offer Expat Permanent Residency http://archive.is/8BXOX
asciilifeform: i imagine a maggot's idea of heaven, this, the fresh meat with no prev maggot crew. ☟︎
asciilifeform: delish, the smell of fresh corpse, to these, apparently.
asciilifeform: btw upstack peanut gallery thread has coupla interesting nuggets : apparently vultures already circling, professional politruks already publishing their projected ~expenses against linux~ for their 'service' of 'administering code of conduct'
asciilifeform: ( whether could have won, or not, whoknows, usg 'court' is approx a bank balance contest. but did not even TRY ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: linus in principle had the right to sue for immediate desist of use of his trademark. did not do it.
asciilifeform: there appeared out of the usg depths, this squid, 'linux foundation', sponsored at various times erry possible scamola, prb, later gavinisms, tor, etc
asciilifeform: Mocky: i'm not aware of any public discussion re subj to follow, outside of the l0gz
asciilifeform: back then was still possible to explain as act of stupidity, tho
asciilifeform: could argue that he already begun quisling when he permitted 'linux foundation' ( sponsor of such 'luminaries' as gavin ) to make use of his trademark
Mocky: "NOT always-shit" != "willing to go to the chair still"
asciilifeform: then again, for all i know, d00d is already trooly and properly dead, and the surrender was penned for him. ( btw anybody located a signed copy ? and what's the most recent signed linus material anyway ? )
a111: Logged on 2018-09-23 16:17 asciilifeform: 'die not the straw death!'(tm)(r)(odin)
asciilifeform: Mocky: it isnt clear to me what sort of blackmail could compare with the surrender. say they put him in electric chair, for killing kennedy, what of it. see also http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-23#1852995 . ☝︎
asciilifeform: and ftr i dun buy mircea_popescu's 'was always a shit' hypothesis. d00d by any possible measure 'by the fruits' was NOT always-shit. ☟︎
Mocky: i noticed blackmail conspiracy theory at that link, maybe consorted with 17.99 yo
asciilifeform: colour me thick, but i fully expected he'd take cyanide publicly before descending to this kind of bottom.
asciilifeform: it is interesting to consider diff b/w esr and linus. esr judased a thing he had 0 part in baking, and wanked for 20y on the periphery of. linus on oher hand merrily fucked not only the folx who were dumb enuff to invest 25y into baking with him, but... own life's work ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( spoiler : either 0, see above, or >0, in which case microshit gets an even bigger crater than it originally paid for )
asciilifeform: so in principle afaik yes folx can demand to get their coad pulled from sjw.linux. nao, what practical result will be, no prizes for guessing.
asciilifeform: i expect either a) whole thing is made to silently evaporate , via the usual means b) gpl is formally unwound by usg 'courts', so rathead et al can carry along. i dun see a c) ...
Mocky: 'Several users on 4chan’s technology board speculate that Theo is targeted first because he famously resisted an Intel backdoor.'
asciilifeform: 'Contributors: You were promised something, you laboured for that promise, and now the promise has become a lie. You have remedies available to you now, as-well as in the close future .' etc
asciilifeform: tldr : d00d trying to organize some sort of peasant rebellion, to mop up what remains of the +ev contributors, under guise of 'protest'
a111: Logged on 2018-09-17 14:14 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: linus's kernel was the last remaining 'open sores' item that was 'usable from upstream' afaik.
asciilifeform: and, first auditioner, apparently, none other than old judas esr :
asciilifeform: linus formally surrendered, and nao there is, as i gather, auditions being held, for who will get to be his new bob beck politruk;
a111: Logged on 2018-09-17 13:40 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: torvalds's thing reads like the zinoviev&kamenev 'confessions'
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 00:10 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-17#1835536 << such a fucking injun. how, just HOW does one get so fucking stupid. "jwz" amirite, "he only wanted to". this existence is too burdensome for the likes of special cunthead.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in entomo-lulz: readerz will recall, the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-18#1835666 'prophecy' bore out into http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-17#1850785 самокритика-fest. nao, for next lul in series : ☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: That's too be expected. At this point consider looking at what will be lucrative to bring, and try to find what simply isn't available there
Mocky: i have a bag to check, but not even sure at this point if it will be half full.
BingoBoingo: To be fair to asciilifeform, when he travelled to Montevideo he kept his personal kit very compact in order to favor cargo
Mocky: multiple trinitrons on the desk, multiple towers unstacked or stacked horizontally. sounds like asciilifeform has square footage to spare
Mocky: i guess you don't need to stack them
asciilifeform: i traditionally have wheels on my towers, also worx great.
asciilifeform: ( with tower it is much easier to dispense with this, you can bolt an ordinary desk drawer steel handle to most of'em in a few min )
asciilifeform: there's one for towers also
asciilifeform: Mocky: these used to be sold in comp-related shops errywhere
Mocky: oh nice, first time seeing anything like that
asciilifeform: made the chore quite a bit lighter
Mocky: yeah, not that heavy really just awkward to move solo
