asciilifeform believes

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: cojones.

asciilifeform: ( seems to confirm my iirc )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in re http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1692127 >> http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles&%21v=0.10.0#1688 ☝︎

asciilifeform: i'ma check when i get home to the torture room.

asciilifeform: iirc it wouldn't eat it if in block # > N (for some N)

asciilifeform: digging cable trenches? crapping our perl ? what.

asciilifeform: for DOING

asciilifeform: p0nziph0ne: q was, what is it they paid you for

asciilifeform: 'Whereas if he couldn’t get Whisky, Rum, or Brandy, / He wouldn’t do his work so handy' << lolgold

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform: that is not a DO

asciilifeform: as in, with own hands

asciilifeform: p0nziph0ne: what do you DO ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is interesting when these folx show up, you can almost ~smell~ reddit

asciilifeform: approx

asciilifeform: i dun have anything vital packagewise there. strictly civilian bl0g

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu-style

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nah, it was his list of wwws for hosts table

asciilifeform: esp the part where i never have to fiddle with it at all.

asciilifeform: the difference that if i moved it literally ANYWHERE it would cost thousands/mo to get same performance

asciilifeform: ( varies on load )

asciilifeform: for literally 1$ or so per mo

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i get total ddosproofness ( tested empirically ) with five-nines uptime.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's the main problem of that hoster.

asciilifeform: !#s monero

asciilifeform: p0nziph0ne: what did you find out ?

asciilifeform: p0nziph0ne: introduce yourself ? who are you? what brought you here

asciilifeform: !~later tell danielpbarron http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-24#1573247 << see thread. ☝︎

asciilifeform: !~later tell danielpbarron 208.94.116.204loper-os.org unfortunately won't work : nsf co uses dynamic dns and thing won't even load correctly if requested by today's ip ( that's how they send ddos to hell on the cheap, long before there was shitflare etc )

asciilifeform: ...srsly?

asciilifeform: !!up p0nziph0ne

asciilifeform: a rewind of the softfork nonsense would send prb to pluto

asciilifeform: ... though i can see what mircea_popescu means. prb would not, iirc, eat a highS block. and several other types that trb happily eats.

asciilifeform: was in the sense that it grudgingly ate same blox

asciilifeform: ( afaik still not )

asciilifeform: prb wasn't truforked yet

asciilifeform: ( i suppose -- 'since nao' )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1692006 << since when do these derps list alts on same www as actual btc ?! ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( quite enough for any sane kernel of whatever type )

asciilifeform: in some cases up to 8MB!

asciilifeform: many old boxes that took lpc rom can be upgraded to bigger one, i will also note.

asciilifeform: ( 'recent' being past decade or so )

asciilifeform: which has other advantages.

asciilifeform: recent boxes have big enough roms to stuff entire kernel in

asciilifeform: so you could actually diagnose wtf is happening on, e.g., that box where it wouldn't read the cd

asciilifeform: ( lilo etc in rom )

asciilifeform: guaranteed boot into usefully-interactive thing

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1692001 << this is worth coming back to : it is 1 of the reason why linuxbios was useful ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1691896 << iirc we saw one of these last yr ☝︎

asciilifeform: i'd really prefer one with NEITHER x86 nor arm ( say, superH ) but can't have everything.

asciilifeform: today there are probably other , similar boxes on the market, it's been >year since i bothered to look

asciilifeform: this one had a little bonus feature : clock battery

asciilifeform: i found it when searching for year+ for suitable (GB/s nic, inexpensive) pogolikes

asciilifeform: ( re the pogolike box )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-02#1475150 << thread. ☝︎

asciilifeform: the gentoo userland is separate puzzle

asciilifeform: shinohai: linuxize

asciilifeform: i also have a port for that other pogo-like thing, whose name escapes me at the present moment, 4 core beast, fiddybux or so

asciilifeform: ( the kernel bringup is the fiddly bit, and i got it going nice an' smooth )

asciilifeform: but should not take much sweat to cook one, use my recipe

asciilifeform: i suspect the pogos would fetch moar moolah if there were yet a gentoo for it

asciilifeform: iirc he has a crate of pogos also. could sell these as well gentooated.

asciilifeform: ^ what even means to have an 'exchange rate' for a shitcoin where nobody can mine a block ? how do you MOVE it

asciilifeform: costs about what a loaf of bread does

asciilifeform: shinohai: they did the cheapo sybils thing last yr also

asciilifeform: whilesupplieslast.

asciilifeform: ( presumably he has a warehouse of such )

asciilifeform: trinque: looks like danielpbarron offered to sell some elementary hardware

asciilifeform: ( circa - mostly - 2011 )

asciilifeform: i have a collection of tarballs, and turning'em into a mirror is on the conveyor.

asciilifeform: the other thing that reading this reminded me of, is that probably tmsr gentoo mirror is inevitable

asciilifeform: afaik this recipe would not have helped hanbot: iirc in that case the machine would not even boot the installer ( and afaik no one ever found why )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-31#1691587 << i nearly missed this spiffy piece ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1691885 << this is lulzier considering that, iirc, the fork d00dz also monkeyed with the difficulty equation ☝︎

asciilifeform: ^ subj

asciilifeform: !#s brock pierce

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1691887 << lol, the film with the pedo tardstalk sc4mz0r d00d in it ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: ro dun suffer from these problems, so mircea_popescu knows how this worx.

asciilifeform: ( and some ~excess~ structure - e.g. inflexible word order - interferes )

asciilifeform: because the necessary ~structure~ ain't there in monkeylang

asciilifeform: and no it dun translate, ends up soup

asciilifeform: ( to productive result )

asciilifeform: and in fact is how asciilifeform's father addressed subordinates

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1691747 << this almost suffices to qualify as crane operator!111 ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform hangs head, realizing that he has maybe two dozen rfc's memorized..

asciilifeform: IANAA

asciilifeform: can't say that i do !

asciilifeform: i was thinking constant 'e'

asciilifeform: trinque: what do accountants memorize ?

asciilifeform: ( betcha everyone knows some )

asciilifeform: folx who are too easily persuaded to memorize, come to nogood

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu must have had many many relatives

asciilifeform was shown once and learned...

asciilifeform: trinque: i dun think comp is practical for any other level

asciilifeform: i think of 'fluency' as when i can translate poem

asciilifeform: that'd be 'fluency'

asciilifeform: well yes

asciilifeform: expression not so much. readonly is attainable.

asciilifeform: anyway 'translate this' gamez don't beat harem method, noshit.jpg. but they beat learning by reading spam, which is how i did, e.g., ro
