mircea_popescu: yeah, the limitation being all the fucktarded nurturing idiots in the "civilised world".
asciilifeform: seems like the approach has limitations
asciilifeform: and asciilifeform in his old flat killed vermin with poison, traps, in the end with own hands and crowbar, didn't reduce population of mice and rats in the city noticeable.
mircea_popescu: somehow apparently they all went home to sulk and make tardbook accounts.
mircea_popescu: hey, i beat hippies in the 90s until my hands fell off.
asciilifeform: today the tumour is the size of a beagle, and the patient is almost nowhere to be seen
asciilifeform: the time was 1995 or so.
mircea_popescu: no fucking tolerance for the pantsuit jesus fucking christ wtf.
mircea_popescu: really, it's fucking time to express how this bs is not socially acceptable by social exclusion, ostracism and violence.
mircea_popescu: i find it SO fucking infuriating the all-soviet pioneer morons actually go about pretending like that idiocy is ~anything but~ the most laughable thing ever...
asciilifeform: i'm almost surprised that it didn't take off commercially.
asciilifeform: there was an earlier version of this lul, where it had a credit card reader and retractable spikes, but i cannot now find it, it was from early age of drmism
mircea_popescu: this "smart" things trend is fucking intolerable.
asciilifeform: admittedly the brick is a standard part, rather than a googlism. but still ugly.
asciilifeform: ( incidentally, the 'now you can charge from ordinary usb!' was a bait-and-switch crock of shit, plugging usb-c into ordinary usb doesn't supply even 10% of the needed current, what the thing does with its brick is to negotiate a much higher voltage, up to iirc 40v )
mircea_popescu: i'd rather have replacement brick than entertain this.
asciilifeform: granted, the details are all in the sores.
asciilifeform: meanwhile , in sad noose, cr50 apparently would be a 1st-class bitch to fully replace, it ( among errything else ) also does the power brick negotiation thing ☟︎
phf: Vexual: didn't make it all the way to catskills, Shawangunk "the gunks" Ridge
asciilifeform: aha, similar. ( in washington there is a gigantic monument , tipped with fist-sized piece of aluminum, pre-electrolysis / alcoa co. , when it was priceless ; prior to being installed on monument, thing was exhibited in new york, folx were permitted to... step over it, in a museum, 'i stepped over washington's monument!11' )
mircea_popescu: "even the greatest magician can't produce metallic aluminum from sample until he has hydro plant"
mircea_popescu: it's the exact equivalent of "aluminum is not available in the crust [because it's chemically bound with crap so strongly we don't know how to tear it apart [until electrolysis is made possible by cheap electricity]]".
mircea_popescu: it's there, they're just all effectually crippled. like dood that has enough sense to not try going at it without fume hood who nevertheless doesn't enough sense to recognize that "you asked for it" is a very poor excuse indeed for registering an expired key.
asciilifeform: 'world's greatest magician cannot pull a rabbit out of a hat unless the rabbit is actually in the hat' or how did it go.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-13 13:07 mircea_popescu: intelligence and a working intellect exist online like uranium in the fucking sea. "it's definitely there!" "really ? go get some ?" "ummm...."
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824918 << eh U in the sea is ~plentiful~ in comparison ! ☝︎
asciilifeform: spyked: it is an alternative, of sorts. but quite intel-like in re blobulism, is the idea.
spyked: yeah. well, as to how it specifically sux, it's now in the logs. prev. discussions had me believing that it's a potential alternative to the rockchip.
asciilifeform: ( and not, as some might think, using a dartboard, lol )
a111: Logged on 2018-06-13 12:56 spyked: mircea_popescu, that's what I thought too, but it's a different item. apparently a binary for separate core in allwinner SoCs, http://linux-sunxi.org/AR100 prolly their version of fritz chip.
asciilifeform: spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824913 << i picked rockchip for the arm64 experiments ~specifically~ for not having this. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: intelligence and a working intellect exist online like uranium in the fucking sea. "it's definitely there!" "really ? go get some ?" "ummm...." ☟︎
spyked: (I also have no idea what "scp" would stand for in this case. fun fact: all the open sourced bits for "sunxi" SoCs are full of comments in chinese, so they could have named it 馬公雞, same thing)
spyked: mircea_popescu, that's what I thought too, but it's a different item. apparently a binary for separate core in allwinner SoCs, http://linux-sunxi.org/AR100 prolly their version of fritz chip. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: jurov, don't worry about it or anything, i mostly use it as an ideal construct to smack alf over the head with educationally.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-13 00:53 mircea_popescu: dood, danielpbarron had like a whole crate of them.
jurov: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824587 dpb sent the crate to me, don't remember whether he kept some. i planned hosting, recently found out the designated "colo" place got rainwater leaks, postponed ☝︎
mircea_popescu: if you include the bins they get to play-pretend along. MOAR USERS
mircea_popescu: spyked, ill tell you why. cuz most "geeks" that are "interested" can't compile anything.
spyked: I've also found some work aimed at replacing some blobs ( https://github.com/crust-firmware/crust ), but I've currently no way of checking whether that really works (don't have an allwinner board atm), so this is where my digging stopped.
spyked: revisiting the allwinner arm blobulism discussion for a moment (re. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-08#1821639 and maybe other threads). I've looked at the olimex shithub repo ( https://github.com/OLIMEX/DIY-LAPTOP/tree/master/SOFTWARE/A64-TERES ) and there are indeed some binaries that I can't trace to any source, namely: the kbd firmware and the 'scp.bin' blob. olimex also include a boot0.bin (no idea why, since this is also generated ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-06-13 00:08 asciilifeform: phf: i need an arbiter so as to give players some amt of confidence that rules will not change underneath them.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824467 <- hm, that sounds more like a guarantor of sorts than an arbiter? ☝︎
lobbes: phew. I tell you, if there's one thing a dumbphone is good for it is for keeping up with mega-logs while out and about
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you and the blondy chick. recall her ?
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i guess it's becoming quite the antisignal huh.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc the track record of folx given 'easy' coin early in their life as a wotperson, is poor
asciilifeform: what's the win
asciilifeform: trinque: out of curiosity, how come deedbot even cares re the expir date thing ?
trinque: any transfers the dood got are right there, waiting for him to politely give me a nonexpiring key
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what you're talking aboot.
asciilifeform: ( tho iirc ave1 did get a FG at some point )
asciilifeform: varies. i dun recall e.g. spyked , or ave1 , getting coin thrown at
mircea_popescu: and how do you get them to "truly born" ?
asciilifeform: fwiw asciilifeform doesn't throw coins at folx who aint even truly born yet. but asciilifeform worx with much smaller budget .
mircea_popescu: "oh, don't send bitcoin to noobs unprepared to appreciate what it is".
mircea_popescu: i'm in an impossible situation, on one hand this happens to be the correct approach i'm deploying, not dumbass contests. on the other...
asciilifeform: ( trinque , what exactly is done to these ? )
mircea_popescu: though, amusingly, the costa rican standard of food service is "solo bueno", which literally means they'll waive charges for items you didn;t like.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-13 01:49 asciilifeform: revisiting upstack : i categorically refuse to pay for any cr50 related work that does not produce a working and practically applicable pill. because there is no way to ensure that 'paid to advance art' rather than 'paid 10 derps' mortgages and student loans'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824822 << the sad part is that work has to be done whether it produces anything or not. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other news, this doris thing sure knows its steaks!
asciilifeform: d00d prolly saw 'wtf masonic ritual, why am i here, in kitchen there is vodka and it won't drink itself'
trinque stopped what he was doing to help, guy couldn't lift a finger.
asciilifeform: possibly easily disheartened folk, we're better without, this is defensible. i've nfi.
asciilifeform: '14 year old cunt routine' to uninvested intelligent n00b is not so diff. but watever. ☟︎
trinque: I dun recall kicking, or even telling the guy to leave. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'dve let this one live tho.
asciilifeform: nor do i expect trinque to massage folx on demand and for phree.
trinque: deedbot has to be one of the longest running and most reliable services here
asciilifeform: 'in the great birdlessness, my arse is a nightingale' -- asciilifeform's grandfather .
asciilifeform: ( i daren't to even dream about finding ones with ~whole~ )
asciilifeform: might have to wait another yr to get a new n00b with half a brain.
cnomad: you're the one who asked me
trinque: this isn't comcast technical support, might find me getting to it when I get to it too.
asciilifeform: trinque: cut the fella a bit of slack, he doesn't yet grasp that he's come to olympus, thinks he's in village pub still
trinque: what's this 14 year old cunt routine now?
asciilifeform: ( there is a historic thread on the subj, that i cannot presently find )
cnomad: i'll get to it when i get to it ☟︎
asciilifeform: cnomad: i recommend to switch off expiration, it never did anybody any good.
cnomad: ok then don't
trinque: no, I'm not doing this for you again in November.
trinque: no, he has to hand it to me now in a paste
asciilifeform: with the nonexpired one.
asciilifeform: cnomad: you gotta re-reg that key, if you want it to work
trinque: cnomad: expect me to go looking for your key or what?
asciilifeform: cnomad: at any rate, if you read today's log, you will know that there probably will not be any such contest.
asciilifeform: it'd be an invitation for every possible fucking parasite, not to mention 'law abiding citizens' etc
asciilifeform: i want no part of this.
asciilifeform: cnomad: on the contrary, the shitstack that passes for modern pc and its soft, is result of 'hire a team'.
cnomad: well that's where reputation comes into play
asciilifeform: revisiting upstack : i categorically refuse to pay for any cr50 related work that does not produce a working and practically applicable pill. because there is no way to ensure that 'paid to advance art' rather than 'paid 10 derps' mortgages and student loans' ☟︎
cnomad: it might be harder to assemble a team than a contest, but you'll prolly have better results
asciilifeform did this at least 1ce, prior to 'fucking, i'ma dispense with the expiration nonsense'
asciilifeform: cnomad: somehow you gave deedbot a key from before you re-signed the rsa4096/0x8D6436492F4A69AF one
asciilifeform: the paste shows what is in the key that deedbot saw.
trinque: also use the paster next time
asciilifeform: not in this key !!
asciilifeform: are you posting through a time-warp, cnomad ?
trinque: I'm looking at what ended up in deedbot's keyring when you fed it that key
