mod6 is drinking bad coffee.
mod6: just some at-mines brew^H^H^H^Hgarbage
shinohai: Looks like box running my trb node was a casualty of the storm ... fried nic despite my best efforts to revive.
mod6: colo box? or was just at the spot?
mod6: that bites, does it still boot?
shinohai: HDD is ok, and pogo containing my backup chain survived so at least I don't have to start over *there*
mod6: yah, good deal to have a backup!
mod6: if there is room in the chassis, see if you can just stick in a PCI eth card?
shinohai curses the surge protector that didn't do it's job
shinohai: Yup ... blew up my whole cable modem, had to wait until Saturday for them to come replace.
shinohai: Tree fell across power line AND cable as well
mod6: and cable modem was plugged into defective surge protector?
shinohai: Everything in lab was plugged into it
mod6: i have similar ones.
mod6: i did just have my trees cut back from the powerlines about a week ago.
mod6: just in case. we've been getting some weather up here too.
shinohai: If only I had waited to move back here one extra weekxD
shinohai: I view it as another "what not to do" moment .... add research better surge protection to my todo list
shinohai: Yeah was just discussing ups with mod6. I haz generator for extended outages" but ups would be nice as well.
mircea_popescu: there is no wayu you have a generator without an ups ?
mircea_popescu: ugh. whatcha do, repurpose a construction crew genset ?
shinohai: Batteries separate .... yeah just an old construction style gen
scriba: Logged on 2017-06-19: [15:03:55] <mircea_popescu> nasty.
shinohai: Also appears they shut down the communication line to coordinate airstrikes as well.
shinohai: (Dunno if thier gmail addy survived lol)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform prediction is, 0% actual sorties and lots of blather from west from now on.
mircea_popescu: when putting an embargo in, execution is more important than newspaperism.
mircea_popescu: they just randomly yet boldly go wherever their speech impediments carry them
mircea_popescu: anyway. the (vehehehery unlikely) alternative is that the usoviets blather in a warlike direction and as a result the russians beat the chinese to the punch of "first usoviet aircraft carrier sunk".
mircea_popescu: which from what i hear a LOT of generals in the ru army really wish to do.
mircea_popescu: orcs are slower on the uptake, because everyone alive in 2017 apparently reall;y believes all the shit mommy said while daddy was absent.
mircea_popescu: of course, it depends how you count these things. international pantsuit party lost a buncha "invisible" planes to ru trained specialists working ru gear in eg serbia.
shinohai: Ironic he writes this post as one of the biggest proponents of ETH out there
a111: Logged on 2017-06-13 15:14 mircea_popescu: the hanno boecks always work in the same cycle. feeder phase where they "seem reasonable" and chumpatron phase where they shed the half-hour-horizon idiots who bought it.
shinohai: Repeat of the DAO in 3...2..1 .......
shinohai: "We are grateful to Vitalik Buterin for his insightful feedback on earlier drafts of this document." kek
phf: "i know a good UDP joke, but i don't think you'll get it"
mircea_popescu: shinohai the problem with usoviet academiatards is that they "see the potential" in a very special definition of potential.
phf: (main mirror is being firehosed right now)
shinohai: Trump is supposed to make America great again ... deport the Asst. Prof. back to Turkey!
phf: i agree, there's only so many "we reversed this obscure tamagochi device" or "we figured out how to put SWF into a JPEG" articles one can read. but i just read it for the presentation. used to be a lot more zines in the late 90s early 2000s, so i suspect the whole poc||gtfo is a "thirsty man in the desert" thing
mircea_popescu: the "Death of the zine" generally is an interesting epiphenomen of the intellectual check-out the internet brought.
trinque: what, everyone's going to go punch syria harder, and from a slightly different angle?
mircea_popescu: trinque syria is little more than a firing range. used to be a country, but... went the way of the united states.
trinque: evokes a teenager taking passive aggression out on a wall.
mircea_popescu: hey, there's lotsa little ugly misshod misborn lincolns out there. and what they do is wreck countries, to assuage the overpowering intuition of their own inadequate insufficiency.
mircea_popescu: "maybe if i fuck up the republic / burn the temple, people will remember me for that rather than for being so ugly monkeys averted their eyes / having a really ridiculously small penis."
mircea_popescu: of course they won't, but reality is not part of the lincoln thought process. as alf says, studiously not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as discussed, 100% of the whole "let live" ie, keep all the 8 males around is simply socialism support pillar. to have equality, gotta fetter manhood.
mircea_popescu: seriously now, see a loser, mock a loser. preferably to death, but if not to tears.
mircea_popescu: it's the only decent thing to do, and moreover an absolute moral obligation.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the social media "red pill" is all about, and was born out of, purely ustardian "YOU TOO!!! could bla bla WITH THESE SECRETS I FOUND"
mircea_popescu: hey, history contains 0 animated garbage bag and thousands of "i attained self-awareness, discovered i was bug, nagant'd."
a111: Logged on 2017-06-19 16:51 asciilifeform: 'take this magic pill' -- sells. 'go eat nagant, you were a mistake of nature' -- doesn't
hanbot: "bullying", "psychotherapy", w/e
mircea_popescu: ahahaah check that retarded shit out, jury actually came out with a guilty verdict. because "it's terribly terribly bad some loser bit it" and that's good enough a rationale.
mircea_popescu: if anyone knows greater travesti than us trials by now, i'd like to hear wtf it is
hanbot: mircea_popescu: no jury. they went with single judicial decision.
hanbot: the rationale of which iirc was supposed to be that a judge would be less affected by her "bad attitude" in the texts or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: requires, however, actual judges, as in, white men, not obamas.
mircea_popescu: yet in the country where the idiots think "discussing your salary is a social faux pas", the social stigma still attaches to "accused of" rather than to "law" enforcement.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-19 17:09 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: elementarily, 'unless' - e.g. d00d shot by cops in his own house (plenty of these every week, and the white-skinned ones ~nobody documents in usa) gets neither judge nor jury, etc
hanbot: mircea_popescu if stigma successfully attached to law enforcement people'd have to stop mindlessly doing what they say, which might require thought, or worse yet, initiative, and meh pass the doritos.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, black communities are the forward thinkers on this score.
mircea_popescu: the whole "stigmatize criminal gang pretending to enforce law" is a true conceptual revolution, much more so than piddly efforts such as "destigmatize faggotry"
hanbot: mircea_popescu i wonder what proportion of nonblacks' failure in that regard owes to not having been picked on "enough", vs what "communities"
mircea_popescu: people love to think their dumb shit is their own, yet a kid who's never been touched will "by itself" behave exactly the same way as an adult all the time no exceptions.
hanbot: asciilifeform that town's name is...unfortunate
mircea_popescu: and the crime was, "having it way better than the judge / lawyers involved" ?
a111: Logged on 2015-04-23 12:23 ascii_panama: some nonzero portion of socialistoidderp is 'revenge' of low-smv folks against the high. dan mocsny observed this and it is a hypothesis with some explanatory power.
mircea_popescu skipped the whole fucking 16yos thing almost entirely. went from not giving shit about girls at 12 to doing 20somethings by 16.
mircea_popescu: cluj is a city on the hill, going to colege there implies (or did at the time) 2 miles / day walked uphill... ah what times.
shinohai: "On Fedora and CentOS, this ld.so "hwcap" exploit fails against
shinohai: /usr/bin/passwd and /usr/bin/chage (but it works against all other
shinohai: SUID-root binaries) because of SELinux"
mircea_popescu: it's vaguely annoying any rando can name his tub "prince kropotkin"
mircea_popescu: doubles as either garbage propeller or garbage disposer ?
phf: mircea_popescu: so the server i was connected to rebooted (or something like that), and then i was sitting on reconnect for a bit, until i explicitly changed it to a different server. what was it doing?
phf: and so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually
shinohai: Another storm headed my way folx, so if I vanish for another 48 hrs, thanks comcast!
shinohai actually likes storms, besides the circuitry frying parts ,,,,
