mod6: *any reccomendations
shinohai: o heya mod6 .... sorry about last night guess I fell asleep before I got your message, still need to see that output?
mod6: mircea_popescu: ah, cool thx :]
shinohai: Mozilla says most people are "pretty fuzzy" about the way encryption works. Some 65 percent say they know a little about encryption but wish they knew more, while almost third said they know almost nothing about it. Those who claim to know more about encryption also report feeling more secure online, according to Mozilla."
mod6: shinohai: ah hey, no worries.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-19 01:35 mircea_popescu: rigol prolly fine.
mod6: haha. i've never used one of these before. but im interested in learning how to use it.
mod6: do the tektronix ones only work with winblowz or something?
mod6: ahh, ok. i wasn't even totally aware that you needed software along with the tool. i thought that the sample was just fed back to you on the little screen...
mod6: im a total n00b on this stuff, my apologies.
mircea_popescu: ie, sure, you can watch curves of our lives. or record it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what'd possess someone to make 4mb internal storage you know ? put a fucking camera stick, have whatever, 32gv
BingoBoingo just got back from corned beef and cabbage at long term drug and alcohol rehab facility. A+++ would eat holiday novelty food there again.
shinohai is now hungry since BingoBoingo mentioned corned beef and cabbage ....
shinohai: They have to show off all that happiness that only Jeebus can give.
BingoBoingo: The socially aware cheerleader type girls seem to in my experience use the bared fangs smile successfully to intimidate lesser girls, the social inept church females seem to ape what the cool cheerleaders do without understanding
BingoBoingo: It's a seriously dangerous woodchipper idiocy. Not realizing an act of aggression for what it is and mistaking it for a welcome.

mircea_popescu: yes. where do you buy a 4mb internal memory that writes at that rate, seeing how that's what the fucking rigol has.
mircea_popescu: now simmer down, you're gonna do something in the mbps range, which is what we're talking about.
ben_vulpes: aaand what feels like an eternity later, i have completed my first actual (minor) under-the-hood surgery on the corvette. alternator belt, which is behind the power steering, air conditioning, and "AIR" pump belts
ben_vulpes: feels really good to get a solid grasp on a nut you'd thought completely out of reach and really wrench on it
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. so run gzip -t on an archive, it... ends silenty.
mircea_popescu: wtf is this. did it test out ok ? did the pos just die ? WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS
mircea_popescu: in further lulz : tar is not able to create directories with an @ in them (why ? because they don't quote, obviously), yet they're standard in exim inbox saving. ergo, can't safely tar.gz exim directory.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck seriously runs linux ? i wish to see this wonder.
Framedragger: (probably wasn't clear, i mean the photo, i've read the blog before. ..almost looks like it was shot on film or sth)
deedbot: doppler voiced for 30 minutes.
doppler: just a dude; I read your website and sort of have a loose grasp of some of the community members here
doppler: hoping to chill out here for a little while if that's ok
doppler: mostly I want to learn more about where I am
trinque: maybe you want to make better introductions than "a dude" ?
doppler: I have a lot of interests relating to computer technology and operating systems
doppler: some of you can probably relate there
a111: Logged on 2015-11-05 22:00 mircea_popescu: actually, this is probably long overdue and a major public service. so i ordered teh gals bring cognac and i shall proceed
mircea_popescu: o hey, not even any mention of the church & the state.
Framedragger: i think that list was supposed to focus on technology-things, hence it being so partial. (but then, maybe one can see 'church' as a piece of technology, etc...)
doppler: Framedragger: thanks; that's helpful.
doppler: oh yeah and of course I read asciilifeform's site too
doppler: well before my +v expires I'd like to say it was nice to meet you. catch you later.
deedbot: doppler voiced for 30 minutes.
shinohai: More importantly, who is your Daddy and what does he do?
jhvh1: You are very welcome Daddy
doppler: I guess I'll imagine shinohai as having an arnold voice from now on, haha
doppler: my father does account management at a photography studio
shinohai: I think you are proobably tghe first person I have *ever seen give a direct response* to that question here.
doppler: I've seen that you ask it quite often
doppler: so instead of making something up I thought I'd tell it to you straight
doppler: what are/were your parents' professions?
Framedragger: !~later tell mod6 oh is tb0t offline currently? :)
jhvh1: Framedragger: The operation succeeded.
Framedragger: (^ thought of printing out project names for doppler to look at)
doppler: I have one of those families where no tree member within reasonable reach has worked on anything even remotely scientific
doppler: which is kind of uninspiring
Framedragger: doppler: one's psychoanalyst and the other's member of parliament (we have frequent disagreements on things, suffice to say)
Framedragger: now that i think of it, same with my tree i think
Framedragger: (re. scientific tree, grandfather had this notebook where he diddled lots of things. he was a kind of soviet accountant, and died when i was ~4. many years later when looking at notebook, i discover this 'game' across a great many pages of it. turns out... game of life - neat)
Framedragger: doppler: yeah they have frequent disagreement-verbiage between themselves, too, guess that's an interesting dynamic
Framedragger: s/diddled/doodled/ but diddled maybe even better
doppler: that's like something you'd see in a film
doppler: kid finds grandfather's old notebook and slowly unravels the puzzle within
Framedragger: yeah :) i obviously didn't have any meaningful connection with him before he died, and this was the first semi-personal thing that honestly made me sad
mircea_popescu: Framedragger> pretty neat to actually see an answer :) << quite.
doppler: Framedragger: cool, I'll take a look
Framedragger: (she is the psychoanalyst btw, but the combo yields friction regardless)
mircea_popescu: anyway, "disagreement-verbiage" so to call it is the stuff of life. i have tons of it with my slavegirls, and they're very literal chattel slaves, not as much as a stitch they own outright nor as much as a private fold in their heart. nevertheless...
