asciilifeform: trinque: i'm particularly curious re how you trimmed modules. many crapolade modules don't give any obvious indication that they are useless, there is no mechanism for generating a list of 'THESE we actually need, because of the installed iron, and these -- not'☟︎
asciilifeform: (). In addition to the handling of hotkey/function key strokes, all key-scancode information [2] is written into a logfile in a world-readable path (C:\Users\Public\MicTray.log)...'
asciilifeform: 'Conexant's MicTray64.exe is installed with the Conexant audio driver package and registered as a Microsoft Scheduled Task to run after each user login. The program monitors all keystrokes made by the user to capture and react to functions such as microphone mute/unmute keys/hotkeys.

asciilifeform: incidentally this'd be a good adjunct to pete_dushenski et al's 'peers' patch : see FROM WHOM a fresh node got each block.☟︎
asciilifeform: it syncs when hits a fellow trb by accident and that's mostly it.
asciilifeform: also ftr imho 'sync in the wild' is a waste of time, it simply doesn't work, 'wild' contains ~no nodes that actually serve old blox on request.
asciilifeform: wtf is the point, thing will never keep up with blox in real time
asciilifeform: 'we lost on mining, let's leverage control of the telecoms, TeroristBlox will go as slow as we want, CornellBlox will go at the expected speed on the wire'
asciilifeform: that train looks standin' still to me!111
asciilifeform: '...application-level cut-through routing. This technique effectively decouples the speed of disseminating blocks from the size of the network...' didjaknow.
asciilifeform: dunno what to call it -- honest intellectuals ?
asciilifeform: and to be fair i have nothing with which to counter mircea_popescu's 'he's the real deal, but they built an immunological cocoon around'im' hypothesis.
asciilifeform: but asciilifeform was also fond of zhirinovsky, and of limonov, et al

asciilifeform: as seen with, e.g., mit lispm sources
asciilifeform: classic 'hey, it's finally dead AND rotten, we can open source it !!'
asciilifeform: official compiler opened... month ago?!
asciilifeform: which is quite easy to do, 'six words of the honest man', etc.
asciilifeform: then, was extended, in the classic american pattern, to 'he owned an X? he owned a Y ? where X+Y is $contraband ? now we only gotta prove 'intent to add X+Y''
asciilifeform: and initially applied to folx who had contraband in a hiding place somewhere outside of own house
asciilifeform: ianal but iirc the doctrine is called 'constructive possession'
asciilifeform: ( 'could tie shoelace to trigger, like-so, and it'll auto!!'--prosecutor )
asciilifeform: remember, this was the country where a man got 20 yrs for being found with a shoelace and a semiauto☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i oughta explain -- the astonishing thing wasn't that ammonal exists ; or that the 2 basic ingredients are sold in shops ( they indeed are , worldwide ) but that the 'mix it yourself' juridicial loophole still holds anywhere in usa ( it appears to, in a few states, for the time being . )

asciilifeform: 'how to make'em use our tardano?' 'aha! idea! we'll arrest some derps 'for using it''
asciilifeform: 'A 24-year-old man from Portland, Oregon, used a Tannerite explosion as a means of suicide.

asciilifeform: it's what you blow the permafrost with, to dig grave.
asciilifeform: ammonal existed in 20th c : '...Вбивают в камни аммонал,: Могилу рыть пора,: И содрогается запал: Бикфордова шнура...' ( v. shalamov )
