mircea_popescu: i eagerlyexpect the imperial "
fuckgoats" bowdlerization
a111: Logged on 2017-06-28 17:55 asciilifeform: ( this was very near the time when
FUCKGOATS was beginning to happen , and it took over asciilifeform's head for a long while )
lobbes: in other news, I'm happy to report my
FUCKGOATS has arrived!
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ACHTUNG s.nsa customers!! all outstanding-through-today
FUCKGOATS have shipped << cool
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ^ d00d pushing 'onerng' over
FUCKGOATS, with argument that the former 'is open source, mathematically verifiable, ...drivers for all current os, even openbsd...' while the latter 'no drivers, connection using obsolete medium - serial port, limited entropy' << limited entropy?! herp.
mircea_popescu: "you can always recognize a
fuckgoats by that sure sign, that all the dounces in the county are arrayed in a confederacy against it."
mircea_popescu: kinda how
fuckgoats even got started, their we-are-idiots naming conventions.
BingoBoingo thought
FUCKGOATS was a natural path to other product names like PASHTUN and BLANKET and HAYBARN
erlehmann: i assume
FUCKGOATS does not help here?
BingoBoingo: It's pretty clear that without scintillator'd
FUCKGOATS that NoSuchlAbs needs to produce PASHTUN to herd
FUCKGOATS mircea_popescu: problem is, when we wake up tomorrow, the dumb cunts will still be dumb cunts ; while
fuckgoats will still work.
mircea_popescu: if only we agreed to agree the dumb cunts are important they'd gladly agree
fuckgoats works!
a111: Logged on 2017-05-31 19:16 phf: i wonder what they mean by "large amounts", could they just run a handful of
FUCKGOATS in parallel? is there some hidden flaw in
FUCKGOATS approach that makes the solution non-viable? so many questions!

☟︎ Framedragger: damn, that response re
FUCKGOATS somehow made me sadder than random $afk emotional things. "you had your chance" and any onus to follow-up is now on their end (demarcation line has been set), yes, lost cause, but still, damn. such a waste of flesh.
trinque: and you're handing them a
FUCKGOATS, lol
Framedragger: asciilifeform: do basically want to invite him to audit
FUCKGOATS?
shinohai: Only after rigorous testing, such as shown above, do the finest
fuckgoats units leave the lab.
mircea_popescu: see alf, that's the problem with
fuckgoats, that nsa doesn't have an email spam service. THIS GOES AGAINST PRINCIPLES!
mircea_popescu: so tmsr computing wishlist goes a) ram insulating motherboard ; b) fully open nic to
fuckgoats standards.
mircea_popescu: and they will continue to, for the indefinite future, hide behind "oh, i can't say
fuckgoats and THAT is why my brain doesn't work -- it's my principles!!1"
mircea_popescu: "oh, there's a game that actually works, run by the only guy who actually has money or understands business in this cloud of idiots. tell you what -- we'll pretend to be offended at "
fuckgoats" and stick with some utter derpitude run by a mentally ill runt. then a year or two years or whatever later we'll go ... "unfortunately" and act like no one could have fucking predicted".
shinohai: I'm still incredulous that one guy is so hoity-toity he won't say
FUCKGOATS phf: i suspect that no vocal nonwot bought
FUCKGOATS. it's either inwot, or else lurkers, that otherwise don't have any kind of presence. won't start participating with a review (even though that's probably a reason way to put self on radar)
Framedragger: btw there are like 770 people sitting and talking on ##crypto, it might not even be 100% hopeless, curious if they would respond well to
FUCKGOATS advertising
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you may think eg pete_dushenski is a little strange for desiring nothing other than you know, making a new website where to retell
fuckgoats shop page "in his own words". but who does anything else, on that sad continent ? where ? when ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ask if he wants to check out the
FUCKGOATS mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nope. a solved instance of this problem would be me going "hey x, i want a new server for eulora, what do you got that's good and where do i send the
fuckgoats" which returns within a day or two with options and quotes which i pay which results in the server being live sometime next week.
mircea_popescu: i want something like a dual or quad e-2650 say, with a coupla
fuckgoats physically installed. i can't say "do this" in #trilema, in 2017.
danielpbarron: if you have 100 to spare i can throw them in with my own
FUCKGOATS orders :D
shinohai: ben_vulpes will then become a Stephen Hawking and only be able to communicate using a
fuckgoats strapped to his wheelchair.
mircea_popescu: BenBE do you also know the
FUCKGOATS, so as not to ever again use a "prng" for as long as you live ?
trinque: really the right thing to do here is sell a buncha
fuckgoats, get asciilifeform rich, hire stable boy
Framedragger: "Note: Both RNG-TW (Analogue) modules must be present and in working order during power-up, or
FUCKGOATS will remain in a SAD state (steady RED lamp.) When performing basic tests, start with a powered
FUCKGOATS, with BOTH RNG-TW (Analogue) modules installed. "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dja remember where receiving of 1st batch
FUCKGOATS was announced ?
Framedragger: re.
FUCKGOATS customs hold-up in UK: according to their story the hold-up with uk customs was due to them having to apply import duty (had to pay a bit) from u.s., *even though* i've had plenty of shit sent in from u.s. of a. before, so who knows (they wouldn't tell me more) :D
☟︎☟︎ phf: speaking of
FUCKGOATS, project PITCHFORK? i still can't get over that one
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 20:38 asciilifeform: meanwhile, ACHTUNG s.nsa customers! moar
FUCKGOATS shipped today. see your invoice www pg to learn if yours was in this batch.
Framedragger: congratz on
fuckgoats shipments asciilifeform btw
mircea_popescu: expectation is the equivalent of the continuous tense, you may have expectations out of your household. but no expectations are involved in
fuckgoats. if the current is what it was specified it'll work and if not it will burn. what do you ~expect~ ?
mircea_popescu: so it may make sense as a convenience thing to symlink it to your
fuckgoats tty. but don't expect you've now thereby fixed the system
veen: surely we all agree that linux-csprng <
FUCKGOATS veen: proposal is replace output of linux csprng-crazy that underlies /dev/random with the output of
FUCKGOATS veen: my reasoning is that if the semantics of /dev/random is that, taken over infinity, it emits flat spectrum of octects, and lots of binaries in the wild have that assumption baked it, why not coax kernel into allowing
FUCKGOATS to fulfill the contract of /dev/random directly?
veen: asciilifeform: what are known-good, currently-doable usecases for
FUCKGOATS
