trinque: "if my room is packed with cum socks and mcdonalds bags, dad will be
too ashamed
to come find me and kick my ass"

to come after
the near-term and still elusive goal of cleaving
the essential from
the cruft in
the portage
tree.
there is a shocking amount of state in portage strewn about
the system, in /etc, in /usr/portage, in /var/db/pkg
trinque: but
this hill will do for
tonight.
trinque: I'll be
thrilled when I watch emerge build someone's vmerge, and
then remove itself as last act.
diana_coman: last
time I
tried
to figure out exactly what is what and where re portage I ran out of
time
to disentangle
the mess, so I'll be very happy indeed
to not have
to go back
to
that
trinque: but
the deps are all lined up
there;
that's
the whole system. when it rebuilds itself, done.
trinque: diana_coman:
thanks! coming along, squealing in protest
though it does.
trinque: I wager
this is because
the item in profile
that sets IUSE ought
to have overridden instead of appended.
trinque zaps glsa and news from metadata dir, shaves
to 13M
trinque: can
then pluck ebuilds from
their
tree as needed, produce a vpatch, and include in
the cuntoo repo
trinque: rationale behind bothering with
the repository system is
to let
the legacy gentoo ebuild repository coexist with
the vtronic repository, in exactly
the same way as "overlays" do now with
the gentoo repo
trinque: not only was
there /etc/portage/repos.conf
to define repositories, but also /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf, and apparently creating one in /etc does not knock out
the defaults in /usr
trinque: /cuntoo/portage weighs 26M right now, compared
to /usr/portage weighing 704M
☟︎ trinque: aaand just built a working nano from
the ebuild in /cuntoo/portage, having no other ebuild repositories in system, and no barfs from emerge.
trinque: "if my room is packed with cum socks and mcdonalds bags, dad will be
too ashamed
to come find me and kick my ass"
☟︎☟︎ trinque: and it's plainly obvious by now
that
the kind of autistic mind
that produces
these
tangled
trees does so
to attempt
to exhaust
the judging eye
trinque has scripts in progress
to flatten
the profile
tree into a single profile, where it can be inspected and
therefore judged.
trinque: work carries on, just wanted
to give word from
the mineshaft
trinque: and
this is just
the broad overview. in /usr/portage/profile
there's what,
tens of layers of dependency nesting. in some cases
the children override
the parent; in others
they appear
to append

trinque : here's an idea, let's banish
the 'root certs' and any systemwide sslism from cuntoo. if user demands it , let him install locally.

☝︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: I did not
take photo, I can run back and grab one
BingoBoingo: There are now fans lined up pulling air over
the Rockchips
BingoBoingo: These details in
their marketing print blurred
together for
their customers
too
BingoBoingo: GAW was always cloud where customer is promised
they never
touch any object
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I
think
the GAW
thing intentionally aimed still lower
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: He had
the passably hot wife
a111: Logged on 2018-09-13 22:07 asciilifeform: gotta wonder, what precisely caps
the lifespam of a garza-style op. my guess is
that it was never +ev at any point, and d00d simply ran out of his usg-allotted 'capital'
to pay
the shills etc
BingoBoingo: True, I'll put "blog a GAW jizz mopping" retrospective in
the hopper as medium priority
BingoBoingo: Extent of
the freebies less certain. Before I left
there were still "free dinner for listening" ads in
the local ad rag
mircea_popescu: actually,
the us has a direct implementation of
the idea -- can
take a free 2 week vacation in florida on premises of people who aim
to sell you real estate.
mircea_popescu: the point here'd be not
the death, but
the rekindling of a loss.
mircea_popescu: so
the reader can relive
THIS much of
the past, in an age when every other
thing's as scarce as chairs in
turn of
the century china.
mircea_popescu: i should have
thought of
that!
think alfie, a future world wherein all
thart's left is nostalgia for
the past. a past which is no longer accessible, except in
the limited sense,
that victorian novels about prim sad ladies have pages steeped in koch solution ; whereas italian fiction of
the plague will gladly give you it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it draws
the good writer like flame draws moths,
this. what all is finnigan's wake
than
the attempt ? and
the very aptly named "hunting for lost
time"
mircea_popescu: that i'm
the only one
to have ever written a decent FEMALE version... well...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that can be well depicted (though it'd be a slightly more pornographic fairytale
than commonly seen)
a111: Logged on 2014-02-05 01:02 mircea_popescu: pankkake it's fascinating how
they completely gloss over
the part where one group (the scammers behind it) stole
the resources of
the rest of
the people involved (every idiot
that bought some, mined some, or pumped it up until
two days ago)
mircea_popescu: always ? well no, not ALWAYS.
there's one exception, says
tongue in cheek
the man one can rely
to give a fair account and sufficient
treatment
to exceptions.
mircea_popescu: the principal problem of literature, of course, is
that it's always better
to show
than
to
tell.
mircea_popescu: nnot conquer. Hence it is clear
that a bore cannot be represented in a story, or
the story would be
the bore as much as he.
The reader,
then, must believe
this upright Mr. Bateman
to be what otherwise he might not discover, and
thank us for our consideration in not proving as well as asserting it."
mircea_popescu: was a pleasant, well-informed man; but when he never comes
to an end, or has one and
the same prose every
time you meet him, or keeps you standing
till you are fit
to sink, or holds you fast when you wish
to keep an engagement, or hinders you listening
to important conversation,--
then
there is no mistake,
the
truth bursts on you, apparent diræ facies, you are in
the clutches of a bore. You may yield, or you may flee; you ca
mircea_popescu: "It is very difficult duly
to delineate a bore in a narrative, for
the very reason
that he is a bore. A
tale must aim at condensation, but a bore acts in solution. It is only on
the long-run
that he is ascertained.
Then, indeed, he is felt; he is oppressive; like
the sirocco, which
the native detects at once, while a foreigner is often at fault.
Tenet occiditque. Did you hear him make but one speech, perhaps you would say he
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> who's mcmahon <<
Trump's friend
the Wildlife Federation guy
mircea_popescu: "cultural marxism", right ? vince mcmahon, right up
there, and EXACTLY AS MUCH as all
the other zigglers, marxes, billy mays, engleses and whatnots of ye olde stupiditarian
tradition.
mircea_popescu: as a result, a few people believe in
the
trinity, and a whole lot of
truckers believe in
the duality.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-13 15:40 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: '$64k question', famous. ( also remembered as
the 1st and afaik last 'omfg it's rigged!' scandal, back when such a
thing could possibly surprise anybody )
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-13#1850166 << was huger and more recent "is wrestling
tv show or sportive competition" debate. resolved, amusingly enough,
through a doctrinal "diune essence", very much exactly like
the "god is also son and passerine bird, same person" except "it's both staged and not staged"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was both -- constantly during
the war foodstuffs were eaten, but less and less produced,
thus dwindling
their supply and increasing
their rarity ; while pantsuit "currency" substitutes on paper were not eaten (nor accepted), but more and more produced,
thus increasing
their supply and destroying
their only form of value.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Thank you for reminding me
those eist
