mircea_popescu: did anyone ever write something not-idiotic on that medium idiocy ?
ben_vulpes: look at wannabe-hacker-oriented linux distros like Arch and Gentoo, which refuse to supply an installer and instead require users to retype the source code of an installer script from the manual
ben_vulpes: dude's a wannabe alan kay, writing on a smaller shittier blogspot which is about to implode due to implementing the "three free articles per month" idiocy
mircea_popescu: ie, "something we lifted from 2010 trilema and forgot to SAY SO"

ReadErr: She is the best thing that ever happened to bitcointalk
ReadErr: on danielpbarron's ratings
ReadErr: if its OTP it prolly ruined it
ReadErr: wheres the info on the workflow
danielpbarron: mine was indeed the second one, yours was the first
ReadErr: oh 1sec ill copy it for you
danielpbarron: i'd suggest you leave it in there tho, as the fee to send is a somewhat significant chunk of that
danielpbarron: poor ppl problems, or should i say non republic problems
mircea_popescu: what do you do, other than very legit websites, ReadErr ?
trinque: danielpbarron: only one OP returns an OTP
ReadErr: mircea_popescu: i do a lot of stuff
ReadErr: my very.legit.website was a late night + namecheap sale result
trinque: that said having it address people directly is on the stack
ReadErr: i got sucked into buying so many domains for cheap
ReadErr: then when renewals came around
ReadErr: they where like 30x more expensive
ReadErr: I do a electronics (embedded/pcb)
ReadErr: ya its fun, brought a few things to market
ReadErr: mostly a ton of opensource hardware though
danielpbarron: someone bought one off that recently. fg is big in ca
ReadErr: i just like to do things myself, like electronics stuff, its cheaper from china
ReadErr: but when i do my own, i can make it how i want
ReadErr: rather than depending on someone else to
deedbot: ReadErr voiced for 30 minutes.
ReadErr: danielpbarron: did you do that pcb?
trinque: here works now that you've done it
mircea_popescu: nah, asciilifeform did ; the whole thing's in a v tree
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 04:56 mircea_popescu would link fg, if there was a page ;/
danielpbarron: i've been sending out any non prime numbered units
ReadErr: ben_vulpes: few flight controllers
ben_vulpes: fixed and quad it looked like from the photos?
ReadErr: heres something i did kinda recently...
ben_vulpes: that skateboard looks like a ripping good time
ben_vulpes: schematics for the fixedwing flight controller anywhere?
ReadErr: and a piece of wire + magnet on wraps around it
ReadErr: and it will charge a 1s batt but also provide 5v output from 1 battery
ReadErr: and fits in a pouch on keychain
ReadErr: ben_vulpes: ya i got some stuff up FC wise
ReadErr: so timecop did the white one
ReadErr: but the pinout was kinda shit
ReadErr: so i just did mine to piss him off and make it more usable, but did it smaller w/ more stuff
ben_vulpes: heh neat, so how do you use one of these fcs?
ReadErr: well, thats pretty flexible
ReadErr: theres a few codesbases depending on what you are trying to do
ReadErr: some are focused more on racing/performance
ReadErr: others autonomy, like gps navigation
ReadErr: but they are typically stm32
ben_vulpes: gotta wire IMUs etc to it or is that all on the pcb?
ReadErr: any recommendations for a photohost?
ReadErr: i dropped smugmug since they pissed me off
ReadErr: and dont have most of my stuff uploaded
ReadErr: ya i was trying to avoid the self hosted route
ReadErr: but its more so I want them somewhere just incase
ReadErr: i dont know which gallery to run though
ReadErr: they changed how they did photolinks
ben_vulpes: sounds like you want a holistic personal backup strategy, really gotta go bolting shit to the side with galleries as well?
ReadErr: so it replaced all the urls with smugmug rather than my domain
ben_vulpes: dude it's just going to keep happening. sv baitnswitch.
ReadErr: ben_vulpes: nah i just need something with a good mobile app though too
ReadErr: since getting them from phone -> web is a pain through a browser
danielpbarron: step 1) get the user base. step 2) ??? step 3) fuck it, change everything maybe we get moneyz
ReadErr: smugmug had a great mobile app
ReadErr: which is why i originally used them
ReadErr: but they quit dev on it, stopped working with new phone updates
ben_vulpes: ReadErr: has an iphone with the soldered in storage probably, cannot pull sd card?
ReadErr: nah but theres something to be said about just tapping the screen twice
ben_vulpes: shake it hard it may come out, i hear the rohs crap is crap
ReadErr: and having it upload to a specific folder
ben_vulpes: ReadErr: where do you get properly leaded solder?
ben_vulpes: solved child enslavement and leaded solder equally well teh pantsuits
ReadErr: but a lot of smt stuff i do with paste
ReadErr: mircea_popescu: is mp-wp some wordpress ?
ben_vulpes: ReadErr: how much of a hassle is it to throw waypoints or actuator setpoints at one of those fcs of yours while its flying?
danielpbarron: ReadErr, i can send it to you. i got it from shinohai
ReadErr: ben_vulpes: well, with a tablet its quite easy
ReadErr: ben_vulpes: not wifi typically
ben_vulpes: how dyou get setpoints from table to fc then
ReadErr: a lot of guys in america use 433 or 915mhz
mircea_popescu: ReadErr yeah ; it's what i use for interfacing all my hosting needs.
ReadErr: that i just did to go full blow HIV
ReadErr: and put a bunch of stuff on it
ReadErr: those there a specifically for serial data
deedbot: ReadErr voiced for 30 minutes.
ReadErr: some guy got into a pissing contest saying he had the smallest UHF receiver
ReadErr: so i just did that to be spiteful
ReadErr: human immunodeficiency virus
ReadErr: i was kidding it doesnt have HIV
ReadErr: but 'full blown aids' is like a expression people use for everything but the kitchen sink
ReadErr: atleast in certain circles
ben_vulpes: subject of circles where does this timecop feller and this otherguy with the uhf dick swinging habit all hang out?
ReadErr: well timecop is kinda out of the scene now, the other guy was just a random on a forum
ReadErr: but he wasnt releasing his source
ReadErr: and it was part of an opensource project i was involved in
ReadErr: so i did this one in a few hrs and put it on github
ReadErr: so ppl had an option if they wanted to make it or not
ReadErr: reworking some stuff for a DIY oxygen concentrator
ReadErr: its kind of an odd area of the law, since they are sold as medical devices
ReadErr: its grey buying 2nd hand units
ReadErr: but this one has a higher output than several of the medical ones combined and costed much less
ReadErr: 1sec lemme find the invoice
ReadErr: Products Model Price Total
ReadErr: 1 x 5A 8X12 Molecular Sieve Desiccant - 25 LB Box MS5A81225 $99.25 $99.25
ReadErr: so much cheaper when you buy 25#
ReadErr: asciilifeform: you have some concentrators ?
☟︎ ReadErr: asciilifeform: just noticed re: modules
ReadErr: and they are so cheap (5$) from china
ReadErr: all the matching stuff ends up being quite a bit of extra parts
ReadErr: 1:09 AM <ReadErr> TI has some cortex/RF SoC for those ranges
ReadErr: 1:09 AM <ReadErr> if i went that route i would just try one of theirs
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 06:17 ReadErr: didnt notice the unvoice
ReadErr: so now that im authenticated it wont -v ?
mircea_popescu: there's no need to worry anyone misses anything you say
ReadErr: so is this stuff decentralized as well?
ReadErr: or does it all hinge on deedbot
danielpbarron: the log is hosted in at least 3 places, but decentralized is a sort of USG buzzword bullshit
trinque: just multiple bots present logging.
ReadErr: hows that work in terms of missing pieces
mircea_popescu: ReadErr if there;s a netsplit every bot sees its shard ; generally discussion stops tho.
mircea_popescu: if you read the logs, you'll see there's a lot of important stuff in there.
mircea_popescu: anyway, you can make one too, if you want, it's not that hard.
trinque: danielpbarron: how'd that cuntoo build go
ReadErr: the idea of being able to echo outputs of stuff into iirc
ReadErr: makes quick stuff really easy
mircea_popescu: ReadErr that's the idea. ircbot is in lips ; if you dont' grok that there's also supybot which iirc is python
ReadErr: its pretty light footprint wise
danielpbarron: trinque, it finished but my rapid enter hitting caused it to default the user creation part, and i've yet to chroot back in to fix it
ReadErr: i run a supybot on efnet mostly for twitter crap
ReadErr: its easier to see the stuff in a channel
trinque: danielpbarron: lol, classic "next" mashing.
trinque: I should've put one of those fancy web toolbars in there.
mircea_popescu: pretty much everything is easier/better if you take the silicon valley idiots out of the loop
ReadErr: is a irc twitter gateway kinda thing
trinque: danielpbarron: ty; if you made it to user creation you were done with the build
ReadErr: you connect to a znc or some server proxy
ReadErr: and channels would represent hashtags
trinque: made it past lilo and all that.
danielpbarron: the power at my house coincidentally went out on new years day and i'm still recovering from dancing
ReadErr: so you can add it to your client
ReadErr: and view 1 users tweets in order
ReadErr: yea API is kinda limited free tier
ReadErr: but the few places i follow
ReadErr: its easiest to get quick news
danielpbarron: it used to work well, when i could reply to "celebrities" and have my reply get top billing
ReadErr: lol mircea_popescu nice stuff
ReadErr: a lot of freenode chans are stuffy about that kinda thing
ReadErr: good having folks like you that paste the good stuff, sift though the bad
danielpbarron: i used that search to print out a stack of papers to post in a co-workers office, got fired.
ReadErr: mircea_popescu you trust wordpress enough ?
ReadErr: ive seen so many boxes compromised from garbage wp pluggins
mircea_popescu: it's been running trilema for almost a decade, 0 spam 0 issues.
ReadErr: do you just prevent uploading?
ReadErr: hahah 0.02BTC for tit pics nice
ReadErr: any reliable postage selling sites that take eth?
ReadErr: yea couldnt find much either
ReadErr: but with fees and stuff its too much
ReadErr: this must be one of those channels people actually sleep and live functional lives ;p
deedbot: yangwao voiced for 30 minutes.
BingoBoingo: yangwao: Who is your daddy and what does he do?
BingoBoingo: <ReadErr> this must be one of those channels people actually sleep and live functional lives ;p << Yes, and some people in this channel even get sent on missions to Montevideo.
BingoBoingo: ReadErr: Well after a prolonged search for an acceptable ISP to host servers, not a single one in the world was found. So I was sent to Montevideo to work with a datacenter to start one.
BingoBoingo: Well, starting with one. At the moment mostly learning Spanish and waiting for the papers that declare me a very.legit.bsnsman
ReadErr: i have so many dumb domains now
BingoBoingo: Anyways this is one of the few places where hard work, not being stupid, and sticking around leads to opportunities and access to leverage.
ReadErr: i let chatting.pro expire though
ReadErr: hard16 is for ascii stuff not 16 year olds btw (16 color palette)
ReadErr: it was afterwards i realized people might take it the wrong way
ReadErr: how much you planning on deploying ?
ReadErr: odd that you arrived at uraguay
ReadErr: is it one of those bulletproof hosting setups or whatever
BingoBoingo: Well, After scouring the world Hong Kong would have required demasiado racks to support human presence near the datacenter, Brazil's visa process involved too much time and bullshit, and Uruguay is like "cool man, whatever"
ReadErr: must be a pretty serious thing if you can afford to do it fulltime for now
☟︎ BingoBoingo: The setup however is not bulletproof. It turns out they don't make ballistic rated servers or cabinets.
BingoBoingo: Well, part of the secret is keeping the burn rate on the cash low.
ReadErr: crazy chassis for tanks and vehicles
ReadErr: but yea need remote hands avail
BingoBoingo: Anyways, I am living in a hostel and rent a desk at a cowork space. The black people here are friendly, unlike in Saint Louis, and the girls are pretty.
ReadErr: ive been to st. louis a few times with a buddy
ReadErr: its not too bad, too cold though
ReadErr: not much to do in the city but drink
ReadErr: the AHB tour is neat though
BingoBoingo: In the summer it's too hot in St Louis too.
BingoBoingo: And were you there before or after Micheal Brown was martyred in August 2014? Since then the city's gone into a far more intense race war
☟︎ ReadErr: imagine it depends what part of st louis you are
ReadErr: theres the super nice areas
ReadErr: and the super not nice ones
BingoBoingo: The "nice" areas now are a daylight only sort of affair. Like the old "sundown towns" but in reverse
ReadErr: didnt realize it got that bad though
BingoBoingo: Anyways if you go into St Louis now at night, even in the "nice" areas... there is a 50/50 chance you get surrounded by a crowd of youth with half of them on their phones calling your pasty ass a nigger and waiting to surprise you with WORLDSTARHIPHOP
ReadErr: ran his mouth off to some folks leaving a bar
ReadErr: they beat him up pretty good
ReadErr: he went to the news trying to say he was a knockout game victim
BingoBoingo: Here the locals say Ciuda Vieja is dangerous at night. I walk around there at night. Very safe. Just a bunch of idle dorks sitting around.
ReadErr: but it all kinda backfired
ReadErr: probably karma related, he was always trying to scheme
☟︎☟︎ ReadErr: when i read mortar and 6 shells, i was thinking like real military stuff for some reason
danielpbarron: i did karaoke for new years. danced so hard i think i'm getting sick now
ReadErr: i wan to go to a country that lets you toss live grenades
☟︎ danielpbarron: or a country that can't stop you from throwing them. who cares what they "let you do"
ReadErr: I mean, real talk, i would settle on a flashbang too

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763132 << it's kinda funny how all sorta three-toothpicks-tied-together doods go like "oh, knockout game". the FUCKING IDEA is to knock out someone by surprise when it's even vaguely conceivable you couldn't have otherwise. who the fuck is going to "knockout game" some dood that looks like he'd get knocked out falling out of bed / in some kind of toothbrush incident. << In St Louis
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 14:12 ReadErr: probably karma related, he was always trying to scheme
BingoBoingo: not uncommon for the elderly azn shopkeeps to get "knockout game"'d
BingoBoingo: In other news, went to the accountant (very short walk) to sign papers again because... The office of officing things apparently has an anal child thing when it comes to matching signatures
mircea_popescu: ReadErr those are supposed to be safe ; tho you'll prolly lose your lunch
mircea_popescu: ReadErr anyway, if you like arc velocity etc, know you're not the first. the french word is patanque.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (recall that case of usg "trained" special op dead in mortar "accident" ?) << There was one of those from the home town. 1 week till his USMC contract expired, mortar exploded in Arizona desert during training exercise
mircea_popescu: why not exploding fossil amber marbles with tyronasauri trapped inside! they could gnaw at your ankles! play it in the bed of a piranha infested river!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo iirc these were photographers or something, "will never be forgotten" etc. ofcourse meanwhile...
mircea_popescu: ok, but do me a favour, don't drink the whole river at the same time.
mircea_popescu: phf ahaha that thing. "comes alive at night AND FUCKS YOUR WIFE!!!" has endured as a harem ditty.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> why the fuck. everything is better with explosions ? << Well, what's the next Republican holiday? Gotta challenge the Latino Christmasen.
mircea_popescu: and you still gotta get the hang of spanish flow. "la noche pasada, nadie robar mi escalara" = "last night, nobody to steal my steer" is funny, but "la noche pasada nadie me robo nada" a little more in the vein of common speech.
mircea_popescu: and wtf ivory bunks you got there. chicago man can't jump ?!
ReadErr: mircea_popescu: bocce ball was my game ;)
ReadErr: not like on the traditional boxes but more freestyle
BingoBoingo: Jumping is not a gringo power. They even made a movie titled "White men can't jump"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude when i was your age i jumped INTO a chicks bunk.
mircea_popescu: one of my dreams is to one day visit a nubile young woman's place of domicile and discover this slighlty humid cave, with beds piled up like racks, 20 of them on either side.
mircea_popescu: "let me guess, you're top floor ?" "how did you know ?"
BingoBoingo: Anyways the overriding concern was the full bladder. Secondary concern is not knowing how long water's been making it through the roof and onto the floor. The parquet routinely gets pulled up by bare feet, which gives me doubts about the subfloor.

mircea_popescu: think about it for a second, what's the aleph of entropy ?
mircea_popescu: well, i guess we break out the metaphors. suppose you're now a vintner.
mircea_popescu: is there such a thing possible as "distill the wine", in the sense of "putting in less chicken droppings than previously" ?
mircea_popescu: conversely, is there such a thing possible as "distil the wine", in the sense of, "taking a cask of wine in which were put no droppings of any kind, and making it wine-irier, somehiw" ?
ben_vulpes: and in riotously amusing equalitarianism and whocouldapredictedz: "After the committee ruled in her favor, the municipality lowered the man's wages to Ms. Sigfusdottir's level. 'I went home crying,', she said in an interview. 'I would never have gone forward with the case knowing it would only lead to my colleague receiving less."
ben_vulpes: no really, you're crying because he got dinged and not because you didn't get the raise? i am so very convinced.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, let the case of the dumb icelander cow be publicized, maybe they learn the fundamental lesson : "being stupid, which is to say being you, means that the more you '''try to help''' the worse it gets. for everyone."
mircea_popescu: "what have we learned today, dottirsherd ?" "today we have learned that the capital duty incumbent upon the dottir herswoman is to find herself a master to obediently follow ; because if dottir herdswoman attempts to act of her own, disaster universally follows."
