mircea_popescu: and the reason i had to have it fucking machined is exactly this, "oh sounds like hammock stand we got that" "bitch, did i say this pos ?!" "oh, it's just as good!" "go make a fucking website somewhere".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fuckhouse and slaughterhouse have a lot in common. i'm at a loss to even distinguish.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger either that or use http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/ i don't have whatever that one was whitelisted here.
Framedragger: i guess i can post that text as comment on original blog post
Framedragger: yeah that is probably true. i didn't think it was worthy of a blog post so to speak, but yeh
asciilifeform: now i would like to see a picture of how this thing is used
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i bet you dollars to donuts you have there some sort of plastic/zamak bs which, if put into serious use, would bend like playdo
asciilifeform: i bought it in an ordinary plebe shop
mircea_popescu: and from what i'm hearing the us is following its socialist destiny towards argentinization.
asciilifeform: i think i have this item here even
asciilifeform: i wouldn't bend pipe. cut, weld.
asciilifeform: i mean, we aren't thinking of submarine propeller here
asciilifeform: the backplane is, i think, unibus
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have proper machine toolz here.
mircea_popescu: good luck replacing massive steel. you know what i had to go through to get a suspension hemicile made ?
asciilifeform: if i had just the 2 boards depicted in the link i'd have the box.
asciilifeform: eh i'm only counting the irreplaceable bits
phf: yeah, last one i bought for 4100 and twenex was "surprised it went to cheap"
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should be fucking thankful they don't use some EGOG charset.
asciilifeform: phf: i find it interesting that folks are paying their weight in plutonium considering that emulator exists
mircea_popescu: i don't suppose anyone else has any competing theory re their "we've been haxxed, report soon to follow. 1,2,3 <crickets>" dog and pony show last year ?
phf: i'm surprised twenex did an open bid though, guy is notorious for selling smbx boxes for 5k starting price
mircea_popescu: i suspect the nostalgia is a subset of "i long for the days before we started using freenode, and so it wasn't being served gagged supoenas, and so it was almost usable"
phf: asciilifeform: i'm watching it, i already have an xl1201 though. i might bid on this one for parts, but there's a lot of eyes on it. i wouldn't be surprised if it climbs to 5-7k
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1467906 << ironically, i read this in the log. i didn't have it in my own scrollback, because freenode is a pos and i lost conn. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: i see kakobrekla fixed the "no loglines no prev/next" bug
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-17#1467679 << omfg now i also wonder what's in bb's tobacco. this insanity coallesced in my head like that iconic cartoon scene of all the clocks going off, except you know... with loud obnoxious two stroke engines. << More noise == More Powah ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> Yeah and I see my Qntra mistake now, was hoping BingoBoingo could graciously edit, or I'll send in a rewrite. << fxd ☟︎
trinque: seems appropriate I guess
trinque: some guy wanted to post it to infowars I guess
asciilifeform: i've nothing against the fella
trinque: https://www.youtube.com/embed/d157dfkKsa8 << I've got one for the self-castration thread
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-17#1467679 << omfg now i also wonder what's in bb's tobacco. this insanity coallesced in my head like that iconic cartoon scene of all the clocks going off, except you know... with loud obnoxious two stroke engines. ☝︎
shinohai: Yeah and I see my Qntra mistake now, was hoping BingoBoingo could graciously edit, or I'll send in a rewrite.
mircea_popescu: that part i've not invested in.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform & other interested parties : i've actually verified that the behaviour in question comes from stock bitcoin 0.6 and some 0.7. the shit's so bad it self-ddoses its own network!
asciilifeform: i do not live there any more
asciilifeform: at the time i wrote most of it, i lived in a vile and uncleanable (in the sense that vermin lived in the walls and fed upon the opulent fastfood waste of the verminiferous neighbours)
BingoBoingo: Sure, but your blog seems to be rather centered on various kitchen pests. I just assume it isn't a coincidence.
asciilifeform: when i worked in the outfit that did antidotes for organophosphate poisons ('nerve' gases) we used these common pesticides as a substitute for the real thing
BingoBoingo: Anyways permethrin doesn't really have any smell I can discern once it is dry
BingoBoingo: Aha, so ant is winning ant/termite war there I presume?
asciilifeform: i can scarcely apprehend what BingoBoingo's house must smell like.
asciilifeform: not entirely unrelatedly, as a young man i kept 'bug spray' around, habitually, as my ancestors did; but then learned that wet/dry vac works 100% as well and doesn't create cloud of poisonous crud to breathe the rest of the day
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dunno about you but i do not run on hamster wheels, nor spend time in monkey house, nor fraternise with the ants, nor try to fit into rat tunnels, etc
asciilifeform: i have not yet signed up to take sides in that one yet, either.
asciilifeform: i hear there is also a war between the 2 anthills in my back yard
phf: asciilifeform: main issue with that plan is that girls notoriously take longer time in the bathroom. very rarely do i have to wait in man's bathroom, but i've now spent some time in long mixed gender lines
asciilifeform: trinque: on the contrary, it is moving along nicely. e.g., in many restaurants even now, there is only 1 or more single-locking-room bathrooms. i welcome the extinction of the other kind, where you actually see/hear/smell the other people.
asciilifeform: hanbot: i showed up at 'balticon' a few times (where i even saw, by pure chance... the infamous eric raymond, limping along)
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 18:18 asciilifeform: ;;later tell hanbot http://thewhet.net/2016/2016-baibf-a-drudgery << somehow i missed this. quite lulzy, and reminiscent of american b00k-centered events (e.g., sf cons)
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-17#1467703 << only conventions i ever attended back in us were sd comicon, seemed markedly less lame (but still fairly lame). ☝︎
asciilifeform: as i understood it, the entire 2bathroom thing is slowly being repealed
asciilifeform: i have intensely nfi what the actual latest 'twist' is
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i find it quite nontrivial to unravel wtf that piece is actually about
gribble: I have not seen funkenstein_.
gribble: I have not seen polarbeard.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell hanbot http://thewhet.net/2016/2016-baibf-a-drudgery << somehow i missed this. quite lulzy, and reminiscent of american b00k-centered events (e.g., sf cons) ☟︎
shinohai: I dunno, will reread after this tea is finished.
asciilifeform: i read 'man - dog'
asciilifeform: i can think of very few mechanisms i despise more than 2cycle engine.
asciilifeform: by that token i could eat pistol and use 0 electric
asciilifeform: and i am really curious what BingoBoingo has been smoking
asciilifeform: (there will be some sort of gig i fly out to a few x/year, but hasn't yet happened)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun leave the house no moar.
asciilifeform: it isn't as if i found a magic well of dough, i still (imagine) do wurk
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm still pretty busy, at least for a while
mircea_popescu: basically there's a pile of derps connecting on all the ports. not so hard to blacklist i guess.
asciilifeform: not only hitler says he can't connect, but i can't either...
asciilifeform: i still dun get it
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-17#1467579 << 91* actually appears on that site's list (as of today), the other two do not - but i can't connect to them either. blackholed. ☝︎
phf: (and since nobody should be arsed to read that shit, i'll spoil the names for you, "But Todd Combs, who joined Berkshire in 2011, and Ted Weschler, who arrived a year later", rest of article is a mix of head scratching and guarded apple praise)
asciilifeform: 'When parsing executables packed by an early version of aspack, a buffer overflow can occur in the core Symantec Antivirus Engine used in most Symantec and Norton branded Antivirus products. ... This is a remote code execution vulnerability. Because Symantec use a filter driver to intercept all system I/O, just emailing a file to a victim or sending them a link is enough to exploit it. On Linux, Mac and other UNIX platforms, this res
mircea_popescu: i guess a bureaucracy can't even be proficient in perversity.
mircea_popescu: aaaand... i think that's erryone.
mircea_popescu: kinda late, but i guess yo ugotta start somewhere.
BingoBoingo: In other news, that is a hell of an obstacle for that team to face on that race https://i.sli.mg/IL9ex0.jpg
BingoBoingo: Quality baseball https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--sC-Ay7LG--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/tu3ntd89lvismlevh4pp.jpg
mircea_popescu: gotta play it on hard difficulty, of course. first time i've seen a combat system i liked, for that matter.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of heresy : "lone wolf" for the ishits is an incredible game. it actually makes the platform all by itself. i'm ranking it up there with baldur's gate and the gothic series, it's an absolute gem.
asciilifeform: well now i know.
asciilifeform: because - i suppose - items like 'i designed the levels for the game xxxxxxxxx' might give the name away
asciilifeform: he even censored some of the humour column 'where i used to work before nsa' things
felipelalli: I'm sorry, wrong deedbot, I thought it was already merged.
asciilifeform: well i personally answer for
asciilifeform: i have nfi what mircea_popescu wrote.
mircea_popescu: so i'm guessing the restarter failed in some speshul manner.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: typically when i run a serious box i have a dedicated display for its health stat
mircea_popescu: well, i have no idea why my nodes are offline. i also have not the time/patience to check up on them daily like they were carrying my child or some shit.
asciilifeform: (i worked out hard bounds, long ago, see l0gz)
trinque: it is however keeping up with the blockchain, so perhaps I've got say... a curated connection to the network :p
trinque: though as I check its log, there is a great deal of "socket no message in first 60 seconds"
ben_vulpes: i'm supposed to give a shit about 21.co?
BingoBoingo: And I dun care to fix it.
asciilifeform: and i recognize precisely 2 on this list which do not daily flicker in and out
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-16#1467378 << i must point out that, at least on same nazi site, the count of trb nodez is also record low - 5 ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the tax-declared value of the thing i am sitting in presently is ~250k
BingoBoingo: <phf> 1,6k is for a standalone, i'm sure rowhouses are cheaper. they have a few standalones for sale, dc- "cheap" 600k or so << lol, divide by 3 or 4 for cheap here
mircea_popescu: i'm just saying, the way communication works irl is precisely like contemplated gossipd scheme, and exactly NOT like bbs/irc/webetc.
mircea_popescu: but if i'm not, i'll never know. the situation where i'm friends to you, and you say hi to me in a channel of 10`000 people i don't know ; and the situation where i'm friends with you and you say hi to me in a pm are identical.
