mircea_popescu: this is what i am saying. i have come
to realise, no 2-battery hole, not useful for laptopping./
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re battieries, i usually buy/carry a whole bag. whats actually needed is a dual-battery item, so you can hotswap
them.
mircea_popescu: (speaking of joni malkovich, isn't it a wonder
the instagram kids aren't spelling it "ironiy" iet ?
a111: Logged on 2018-07-02 00:04 asciilifeform: whole escapade mostly succeeded so far in being a
time sink for asciilifeform , and little else
phf: i
treat
the x60 battery purely as a ups, which yes makes it pretty useless for
travel. can break it out on amtrak or at a hotel
that's pretty much it
a111: Logged on 2018-06-13 20:56 asciilifeform: '...and
this here is
the airport wallet inspector master key jack. got a problem,
terrorist ?'
phf: well, i'm going
to at least get
this device
to be a decent note
taking
tool or something along
those lines
phf: that sort of stuff. i assumed
though
that at least
that arch guide will at least give me a console
phf: oh i figured as much, but at least i had a chance
to organize
the workspace. download relevant bits, line up a bunch of discussion pages with mentions of mysterious utilities
that
take obscure flags
phf: yeah,
that's what it looks like.
there's minimum activity from
the usb on first check, and
then blank screen
phf: but i finally finished
the cable, had
time
to
test
that it works,
then left home for weekend and naturally forgot
the cable. so running blind/not really getting any output
lobbes: the real key was
the "mod_limitipconn" a bit further down
BingoBoingo: Anyways, part of Venezuala's schtick historically is
that
they have been blockaded by Europeans before over debt defaults.
They have
to have seen Argentina's clusterfuck with euro missiles over
the falklands. Every reason for
them
to buy from
the Chicoms and Ruskies.
lobbes: phew,
talk about a learning experience
mircea_popescu: anyway. most of south america is "great place, sadly inhabited" unlike argentina etc, venezuela started
to do soemthing about it.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-01 18:37 mircea_popescu: you kidding ? venezuela is like
tmsr-rich.
phf: asciilifeform: it's a casino model, you sit down, play a few rounds, "win" a
thousand dollars or so, lose some, win some more, all within a few
thousand dollar range. on average you come out in
the negative, but it's fun while it's happening.
douchebag: I'd like
to note
that hackerone pays out in bitcoin, however it goes
through coinbase...take
that for what you will.
mircea_popescu: "what if your company store doesn't have anything i wish
to buy ?"
mircea_popescu: taxolade being part of
the problem. but rather, it's company scrip, "Can use at company store".
diana_coman: asciilifeform, believe it or not but I have former university colleagues who work for google "because it pays well"; and I'm not at all surprised: while at uni
they similarly went
to microsoft's local "lab" licking whatever was available
to lick; essentially I'd have been surprised if
they did NOT work for google /microsoft /similar
mircea_popescu: part of
the reason for 3) is
that ~you don't actually accept fiat in payment~. whether you're aware of
this or not. but if you did...
take douchebag who does, "works well for him".
a111: Logged on 2017-12-24 21:38 asciilifeform: also why wouldja 1) help hitler 2) for $ 500 3)
that you'd have
to suffer from down's syndrome
to actually believe will be paid ...?
a111: Logged on 2015-06-14 16:31 asciilifeform: i must point out
that i have sat on both sides of
this (entirely absent) bench. both in search of secrets, ~and~ sitting on a small stash of 0days
that will be buried with me
a111: Logged on 2015-05-30 17:32 asciilifeform: hell, i'm personally sitting on a stash of 0days
that i can't do anything practical with.
mircea_popescu: the funny part is
that
the guy has a very high falooting "oh, cost of doing nothing" bla bla
phf: asciilifeform: in "clean gentoo for rockchip" is
there particular reason why boot sd card's gpt partition has a 8320 sector break between l1 and l2?
diana_coman: lol mircea_popescu we'll end up linking phuctor
to eulora and have "had his key phucked. Congratulations!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, maduro can afford rocketry installation. question is whether he has
the sense
to, or more of
the same "not harvesting
the
teen cunt for sale because reasons" nonsense.
mircea_popescu: venezuela's problem is
that shitty oil, kinda ~same as fracking by products. but still worth some money.
mircea_popescu: anyway, not so many are needed
to pump, and certainly not of
the pantsuit class. mostly afaik russians do it.
mircea_popescu: word. if i were maduro
there'd be co-ed open outcry. but...
they're new, and besides orcs, whadda ya want.
