BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Perhaps earnestly, yes. Then you fill up a strip of desert with refugees, tell them they have an identity. What do they do when they get the old books? They start
cargo culting themselves into super special snowflakes. Being super special snowflakes together is the core of the US-Israel alliance.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The failure in that run was at the US check in counter. There's a max weight on any piece designated "luggage" rather than "
cargo", hard limit enforced by baggage handler's work rules
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-26 23:11:36 asciilifeform: relatedly, imho a future piz
cargo oughta include a rubidium clock box.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 15:32 asciilifeform: it is also time to speak of the next crate. and the customary four
cargo slots. 1 is to contain a replacement for uy1 ( and ideally will run cuntoo . ) 1 will contain a 1u that holds rk's. this gives 2 1u slots remaining, they can be occupied by colo passengers, if these stand up and wish to ride , or pizarro irons, at BingoBoingo's option.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-25 00:32 asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i highly recommend it, right now you're in approx the position of that random fella who sat down in a
cargo plane and took off on a lark
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, german peasant
cargo cults
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That sounds solid. If the
cargo is 48 Rockchips 1U of server and 1U+ of spare parts, that's still 4U of material.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform isn't it the height of
cargo cultist idiocy, this "6 character commit ids" thing shithub does.
phf: i was very much insulated from open sores lisp with acl, just sort of assumed that they were all basically the same. turns out that common lisp world is a
cargo cult. for when spec was never supposed to be and all be all: it was a _thin_ common ground of a variety of rich lisp ecosystem. writing _just_ to spec is an exercise in frustration..
mircea_popescu: ALSO straight
cargocult, also like all spamola. really bitch, "this is how men should" ? men fucking should, reheheally ?
mircea_popescu: (alf's "robohitler" mostly exists as alf's own mind's reinterpretation of the boas-pantsuit ;
cargo cultish lulz (say in the "artificial intelligence" vein to pick but one of many examples) usually come from the dewey-pantsuit.)
phf: well, after reading the CADR documentation, source code and generally spending more time on a lisp machine, i realized that modern common lisp is a
cargo cult. i'm not sure how naggum didn't see it, but possibly because his lisp was emacs/cmucl/franz
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall this video of a coon exhibiting all the "intelligent" behaviour of black chicks code : was rubbing a rock against a glass door, because it had seen rocks open glass doors before but didn't quite understand how impact works. so
cargocultcoon.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856334 << ianal, but aint that the ~whole point of 'international maritime law' ? where iirc once insurance pays, the sunken
cargo turns into 'buried treasure' and belongs to whoever lifts it, no questions asked ?
BingoBoingo: To be fair to asciilifeform, when he travelled to Montevideo he kept his personal kit very compact in order to favor
cargo mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i lost your
cargo would you cry more than if the orcs steal it like they apparently well might've ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this item would cost about 10k or so i guess, and it'd carry maybe 10kg or 10 liters of
cargo, whichever smallest.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck does the electricity need to be burned so the SAME EXACT fragment of
cargo cult is repeated 50 times ?
ascii_lander: ( ascii_lander's
cargo included 1) dulapIII 2) dulapIII-spare 3) smg 4) smg-spare
ascii_lander: ( 100% of
cargo racked btw. tho some of the rails had to be bent, i bent'em back by hand lol )
ascii_lander inspected
cargo : not only were $boxen thoroughly pawed over ( external trunk seals popped, inside -- careful packing turned into a ??? shambles) but some 'ears' bent
phf: asciilifeform: all these projects are plan9
cargo cults, so there's always going to be utf-8
mircea_popescu: and the only folk to whom the difference is immaterial are our stone age friends from the
cargo-cult, cave dwellers as they find themselves.
mircea_popescu looks into the logs, sees 62 instances of eg -
http://testasp.vulnweb.com/t/fit.txt%3F.jpg and similar garbage. this, of course, is "web security" or "penetration testing", or however you'd call it. a set of "tools", no doubt "professional" that permit one A CERTAIN KIND of
cargo-cultish periphrastic cvasi-but-not-really involvement in their chosen field.
mircea_popescu: it is not an idle comment to observe that the universalist nature of pantsuitism manifests here exactly as everywhere -- their sad, broken
cargocultish tech-ersatz does exactly what their sad, broken fake of an economy etc : rolls up the small costs into a larger one to be paid "in the future", which to them is a term of art specifically meaning never.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One day at a time. This has been good for my AA basics even if the local AA seems more
cargo cult as my spanish improves.
lobbes: << this is the key question needing resolving, imo. "Is it worth it to continue throwing good money into orc-hole?". After BB's deep descent into the
cargo cult looking for chassis n' such, it is certainly suggestive of more "tree-forts everywhere" ala
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-08#1782956 ☝︎ BingoBoingo: That being said for my health I would like a proposal that includes the possibility of a BingoBoingo exit date away from
cargo cult Alcoholics Anonymous
BingoBoingo: I return. The short of the news is there is still only one "business" that had one 2U chassis, and they have yet to follow up with a quote for the rest of the shopping list. Blog post baking, with pictures from this
cargo cult hell hole.
mircea_popescu: at any rate, the only possible moves here seem to be a) phf see if the airline is willing to take a ~100 kgs as
cargo ; b) BingoBoingo DO THE RESEARCH tonight, as to b.1) EXACTLY, ~absolutely~ exactly what parts do you actually need and b.2) list of places you could conceivably get it at there, whatever shops. then tomorrow starting 8am you go check all of those. no words, be shown the physical item.
phf: ben_vulpes: it's a standard
cargo service, separate from flight engagement
ben_vulpes: phf: what's involved in "transporting as
cargo"?

a111: Logged on 2018-02-04 16:38 asciilifeform: i actually have a pcengines apu1 ( 2G version ) with the sage header soldered on, and sageprobe, that i am adding to the
cargo manifest

Cargo cult
☟︎ BingoBoingo: And routers, and not jungle
cargo cult "Why would you want a network that isn't WiFi?" inventory selection
mp_en_viaje: utterly terrible. i nearly bought one for its
cargo cult quality
lobbes: Very much a
cargo cultism, I would say. Cannot conceive of the workings of physics that even allow planes that drop payloads. Never been shown, or explained, by -anyone-. "Assembly code for favorite vidya game? But all my phriends just use "Game Shark" for their cheating levels"
trinque: oh sure. the statue, as per mircea_popescu's definition of art, is a
cargo-cultism where the sovereign that put it there is unknown, and dead.
mircea_popescu: well, in typical manner of usgtronic
cargocultism, they pretend to themselves as a captive audience that they've embraced&extended successfully.
BingoBoingo rolled into meeting wearing short sleeve button up red work shirt, khaki
cargo shorts, and carried very slim attache case.
