ben_vulpes: here's a lolbow, emerge-webrsync barfs with a segfault on a nomultilib stage3 with "Fatal Python error: Failed to open /dev/urandom \n Segmentation fault"
ben_vulpes: looks to be some python strange, using an older stage3 gives similar errors until i set the python profile to 2.7 ☟︎
mircea_popescu: do you have unapproved random in the box, citizen ?
ben_vulpes: what do i look like, some sort of terrorist
mircea_popescu: actually...
ben_vulpes: you don't say!
ben_vulpes: with the old stage3, emerge-webrsync downloads what it wants (i think), but then barfs at the end with "Failed to validate a sane /dev ☟︎
ben_vulpes: '/dev/null/' is not a device file
ben_vulpes: o.O
mircea_popescu: how the fuck not ?!
mircea_popescu: that is EXACTLY what it is.
ben_vulpes: i'm doing this inside a chroot, so i think maybe something isn't mounted correctly? i've tried it both the way that mod6 suggested to me (-o bind /dev $chroot/dev) and the way the gentoo installation handbook says (mount --rbind /dev dev/)
ben_vulpes: !!up gabriel_laddel are you going to say something or just keep opening and closing the browser tab

gabriel_laddel: Battery died
gabriel_laddel: Consider https://www.amazon.com/CISNO-Digital-Microscope-Endoscope-Magnifier/dp/B075H634MP/ref=sr_1_5 ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: 1000x magnification seems unrealistic - that being said: if I crush some product, take hundreds of images of each sample & use them as input into a neural network along with a 1-10 (bunk-absolute fire) rating y'think it'll get trained to recognize the real deal? ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: Anyone made use of these digital usb microscopes in any context & have thoughts?
ben_vulpes: aah batteries
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: can you even identify real meth optically?
gabriel_laddel: Humans cannot. N-ISO can co-crystalize along with it. But a NN? Idk ☟︎
mircea_popescu: nope.
ben_vulpes: why not just get an assay kit?
gabriel_laddel: I'm curious about the utility of microscopes. Don't really care about meth purity too much.
mircea_popescu: currently people are effectually using nn for speeding up sample counts where mistakes are cheap
mircea_popescu: ie robotized lab assays
mircea_popescu: but we're talking cells here, or protein-stains.
trinque: this is gonna be a rock bottom story for the ages.
mircea_popescu: trinque you're just being negative, people solve really difficult problems when they also strap a ticking timebomb to their ass all the time
mircea_popescu: in the movies.
gabriel_laddel: Wait a minute. Pasteur separated racemates by hand -- so I should at least be able to tell "biker crank" (racemic meth) from "crystal" (d-meth)
mircea_popescu: alternatively, marie c glowed in the dark.
mircea_popescu: so you should be able to either filter meth by a succession of rapid wrist swipes or else shoot lasers out of your eyes.
gabriel_laddel: #! the people in real life are the people from movies not the people from real life

asciilifeform: it shows mostly led glare lol

asciilifeform: forget lens even.
mircea_popescu: i am shocked.
mircea_popescu: next you're gonna tell me ai isn't quite here yet and quantum computers not right around the corner, not to mention no 3d printed guns.

mircea_popescu: digital particuarly good fit too, because usual problem with mirrors is "your head won't fit in F". but a ccd will.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's talk prices after.
asciilifeform: after what ?
mircea_popescu: after the guys even fucking answer.

asciilifeform: only after lsd

deedbot: gabriel_laddel voiced for 30 minutes.
gabriel_laddel: Melting poing can't tell ISO from meth. MSM & other cuts can be acetone washed out.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: most of yer impurity is not the laevo- isomer but intermediate cruft
asciilifeform: and i assume you already recrystallized ?
gabriel_laddel: acetone wash doesn't lose any weight
gabriel_laddel: anyways, I'm not worried about my own supply, just curious about microscopes is all
asciilifeform: get a refractometer instead
asciilifeform: unlike microscope it actually will do part of what you want. and costs almost nuffin.
gabriel_laddel: Spiffy! Thanks.
asciilifeform: and get from a big university's surplus warehouse. not from china.

He is working on bringing service management to the next level. He wants to make it easy so users can sandbox system service without necessarily isolating them completely from the host-ware.

ben_vulpes: i have what appears to be a chroot with gcc 4.9 and py 2.7, it can happily boot x11 proggies from within the chroot which i take as a good sign but not a definitive greenlight; and now i'm mulling how best to make this chroot the root fs for the whole box. might mount my old root into the chroot, chroot in and mv that to a backup dir (but haven't reasoned through what happens when you mount a fs containing
ben_vulpes: the chroot into the chroot itself...), and then boot from a livecd to move the new root fs to the disk root
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if the mount contains itself, you can't cp -r, nao can you.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you gotta make a temp copy.
ben_vulpes: something like copy newroot to /, mount everything in / except the newroot copy into it, chroot into the copy, cp -r all of what was at the root of the old fs (except the new root copy) into a backup dir and then replace the contents of the root fs with the contents of the newroot copy?
