mp_en_viaje: shit, peakx reminds me, what the hell happened to that whole peak oil craze.
mp_en_viaje: when's you last heard sbout it ? cca 2012ish or so neh ?
mp_en_viaje: eh, at some point it was a major mainstream item, late 00s or so. kinda bicoin of the period, $item every office drone hasta know about / if you don't have "formed your own oppinion

ben_vulpes: also US shale producers "walking and chewing gum" at the same time; many squeezed operations down into productivity despite opec production increase and still managed to borrow and open up more reserves
mp_en_viaje: you should see fucking $200 a month clombia. it is SO BAD they have two colors of plates, and yellow (normal people) can only go every other day
shinohai: yeah thats a point mp_en_viaje
mp_en_viaje: which, of course, as all socialist idiocy, resulted in everyone buying >2 cars.
mp_en_viaje: ben_vulpes, yeah, the saudi genius dood's plan worked as wel las if nuland made it.
shinohai: for me it worked on premise that "private messages" were always gpg encrypted
mp_en_viaje: eh bs. there's 300mn usians not going anywhere and 2bn orcs going around in circles
ben_vulpes: likely a large factor in this "corruption" witchhunt even "omfg blew trillions trying to put the us shale market out of biz, need to recoup from somewhere"
mp_en_viaje: you understand bogota is 2x the size of ny ? you've not seen traffic jams this good in ny. not since.... well never, back when it still mattered they didn't have the cars.
mp_en_viaje: ben_vulpes, it is to me unclear how orcistan (mineral producerI could be said to have realised losses.
mp_en_viaje: russia, saudi arabia, or a random streetwalker are in the same position : the cunt they sell has little relation to the money people make in an economy they're no tpart of.
mp_en_viaje: so you know, how did whore "lose a trillion" ?
mp_en_viaje: no, but this is fantasy fullfillment wank among the girls themselves, "oh, the gringo paid gordita x 599 and i'm so much better then her so every time i suck it for a 20 i lose out 579". rrrrrheheheheally.

ben_vulpes: certainly, golden age of individual prince has long since passed, but the sheer number of them running around are such that they even raise the hackles of normally entirely diversity++ towns like portland, with the all-reflective nissans etc
mp_en_viaje: yes but how many billions does a nissan cost.
mp_en_viaje: ITS A FUCKING NISSAN FFS. seems to me you just deliverd my point right there.
ben_vulpes: few, but how many princelings are now running around. the nissans are saved for the poorest, who don't even get into nyu.
ben_vulpes: hey it was a nice one!!1 "don't laugh, it's paid in full" or whatever that bumper sticker says

BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> 8.6 was peak macos in my book << 7.5.1
phf: well, it's because you went there for content :> i was doing socializing with americans and such
phf: yeah, those guys would organize dumpster diving runs
phf: which was convenient since i didn't really know the area at all
mp_en_viaje: i think the thing now is "run through abandoned in fac tbut not on books mil bases, take pics".
mp_en_viaje apologizes for the approximated spelling. new kbd.
trinque pulled a rack and couple servers out of the trash behind some biotech lab when ~16
phf: there's a strange lul in the scene, because necessary aged youngsters are glued to ipads. and i'm not just being an old grandpa, there's literally a whole generation missing at the outside activities
mp_en_viaje: hm. iirc we even had them in the logs. here's our run of chernobyl here;s our run of nevada nuclear missil base etc
mp_en_viaje: they're fewer by headcount than the "erryone empowered" stuff in the 90s, granted. but it may be better quality.
mp_en_viaje: phreaker scene, pre internet (really, killed by internet) was also less numerous, but arguably stronger individually
phf: oh right right, that was a while ago though, i suspect that photographing ue for livejournal has been a decade long activity. they've just been increasing the boldness

mp_en_viaje: well "when did i tstart" is always an iffy q. but to my mind that's the current scene.
phf: there was that russian team that was breaking into scyscapers in jetsetter cities and taking risky pictures, but i think that died with the rubble crash
mp_en_viaje: much like you know, the 0day/elecart scene was THE scene mid 90s
phf: well, that's good, cause then i can relax for a bit!
mp_en_viaje: phf, why do you think it died ? going by what, some measure of www activity /
phf: actually i don't know! i'm in a bad place, spatially, DC is literally the worst place to keep tabs on this kind of stuff. everything seems dead, but i know if i were to just travel two hours north there's going to be updates on what's happening
mp_en_viaje: dc is a shithole. but... i dunno, im unconvinced by the theory "kids today" = ded. the mass is about as motile as a fish in vinegar, yes. but .. they always were.
phf: but i think that it died on the tail end of "asians who were all black outfits made of space materials", which is a kind of postcyberpunk think that happened in the 00s.
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> here, not so far smelled any. no visible intoxication, no methgirls... << Here lots of cannabis and they discovered edibles so you see a lot of intoxication without the smell. Only they very poor and New Zealanders seem to seek out stims.
mp_en_viaje: arguably the other scene is the chemhipsters.
mp_en_viaje: whole lotta "what does this potion do" self-experimentation.
mp_en_viaje: it's sad in that it will go strictly nowhere, but... what can you do.
phf: oh yeah, but again, slowed down, because of analog regulations. 5 years or so you had all these labs popping up, tweaking common chemicals (like ketamine into methoxetamine)

BingoBoingo: The great geopolitical risk is that the stoners do to Uruguay what the trannies are doing to USia... a malignant species of nothing
mp_en_viaje: it's not physically possible, you know, to have the same silly "informationsuperhighway" wank today. scenes are usually borne of specific ignorances which permit specific hopes to flourish. so today its photorecon-parkour and self-administered drmengele.
mp_en_viaje: spiderman got bit by a strange bottle, right ? it wasn't a prepubescent girly some dood in british academia was trying not to actually fuck. it was spiderman!
mp_en_viaje: t think anyone imagines uruguay can be genoa of 2020.
BingoBoingo: Not at all, but it imagines it is a place that can keep enough Brasileros happy to not turn into a small Argnetina
mp_en_viaje: i have a new theory by the way. so bogota is ~8mn inhabitants. and there's DISTINCT signs of argentinetardation. but i mean itemized, multiple strands, quite visible. eyt the folk themselves aren't at all similar, not fenotypically nor culturally.
mp_en_viaje: in no case is the farc-ready colombian any kind of argentino dickless "letrado".
mp_en_viaje: i suspect the sheer size of town may have deleterious effects. "go over 5mn pop at your fucken peril
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, girl called desk to call me a cab. desk wanted to know where it's going. insistently. when they didn't get what they want, they OPTED NOT TO DO WHAT TOLD.
mp_en_viaje: and when i tell the girly there "when you are told to get cab you get cab" she had BUTS in her schedule!
phf: oh yeah, scenes have that property discussed in thread about opensource, once it's named it's over. i'm actually more interested not in the scenes themselves, but in how they evolve one into another and how differrent scenes influence each other. something dies, gets replaced by some mutation of something else resurrected, or rediscovered, etc. etc. etc.
mp_en_viaje: but there's plenty of other things. utterly inept real estate market, exact same thingas buenos aires -- 500k+ units on market, high prices for no reason, 500 close a yeat at MOST, rest happy to wait.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, 0 detectable usg influence in ANY way i can see
trinque: lol what do they do in americaland, "buy and sell stocks, and drive cab"
mp_en_viaje: phf, i suspect this nver happens, "evolve into one another". seems t ome it'salways 100% new biostock
trinque: I would've said this in jest of soviet perceptions of AMERICA (TM)
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, ro consul here thinks its a lot of you know, money laundering.
trinque: "why, they sit at a big table in a skyscraper and shout 'business!' at each other"
phf: mp_en_viaje: new biostock, but rarely invents anything new, mostly just copies something they read in a magazine they found in the attic
mp_en_viaje: he may be right, but it was not that in argentina, those fuckfaces have 0 capital.
mp_en_viaje: phf, how's this apply to the "ima photograph missile silo" set for instance ?
mp_en_viaje: cuz they saw 1990s french algerian parkour mags ?
phf: well, but ue has a long line of doings, likewise livejournal has a long line of doings. so happens that the two long lines connect at some historic point, because both on certain trajectories
mp_en_viaje: (note the parallelism is VERY marked -- that was attempt of body-fetishized africans to retake a space that was very hostile. this -- muchly also)
phf: actually, yeah! it travels, sometimes directly sometimes indirectly. i mean, there's definitely a direct connection between 1990s parkour and early 00s missile silo photography
mp_en_viaje: "african is only good for muscles/big dick" + "do not step on the grass" => parkour. "we tell you when you can have a drink" + "MILITARY SIKRITS" - this thinghow you call it
mp_en_viaje: phf, but i have my doubts they ever saw the underground mags. for one hand, half of them hand made, for other in french
mp_en_viaje: usians read french, so much so it alters their behaviour ?
phf: yeah, but they saw the youtube of same
phf: in 2009 or so, if you did ue at night, there was always a person who was body aware, who would've heard of parkour or was practicing it. shit, half of america was doing parkour in the 05? 15? i don't remember
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, recently they had some somer odf disarmament deal, saw person today aggitating for farc to be included as voting bloc in their electroal process...
mp_en_viaje: ive nfi specifically. but on the strength of eyewitness reports, both cali and medellin are just about where they were 20 / 50 ya
mp_en_viaje: ie, "there's this neighbourhood, they kidnap 2-3 tourists each they. but generally they reappear a day or two later, clothes all ragged up and all dizzy like" "sounds like a helluva party"
mp_en_viaje: i can see who'd go for a kidnap as an activity.
phf: kidnap experience, 5000eur basic package
phf: that's where you're just groped by two brazilian lads. of course there's also the executive package, 20000eur, where you're forced to perform mildly degrading sexual acts in front of a masked audience
mp_en_viaje: eh gtfo, nobody here has seen 5k in a pile like ever. what 20k.
phf: well, they won't see it either, the whole adventure is organize by a swiss middle man, utmost discretion
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, yes. what, this is surprising ?
mp_en_viaje: nobody in usgistan saw the printingpress either.
mp_en_viaje: yaya. who's gonna show them what's inside.
mp_en_viaje: btw, in other lulz : the "executive suite" here has corner desk. in case i'm you know, so used to my vp corner office i would fill remiss without the L item.
mp_en_viaje: aha. who the fuck even uses those things ?
mp_en_viaje: i mean, the ottoman before the bed. yes. yes ofcourse. but this ?
phf: they are perhaps there for fucking
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i meant the current item, the blessed ipad where yellen adds the zeroes
mp_en_viaje: phf, on an office table ? why, to chastise the poor girl ?
phf: not enough clearance for the head, perhaps if only across
mp_en_viaje: and in other lulz, sex toy's shop (nfi why the dildo store needs the possessive plural, but it is very common) had fustas (crops)
mp_en_viaje: utterly terrible. i nearly bought one for its cargo cult quality
mp_en_viaje: 100% how the item would look if made by people who saw but never used crops.
phf: you'd know it was the real deal if they were selling shillelaghs instead
mp_en_viaje: also, you know, very matriarchal structure, somehow. anecdote : bought some i dun recall what from respectable (and very competent, and eager to do well) middle aged woman in shop. as we left she called girl back, all worried like,
mp_en_viaje: to warn her not to go with purse open like that, there's thieves! to which i retorted that theres nothing of value in there anyway, which completely blocked her.
mp_en_viaje: how, just HOW!!!! could the purse not be the definitive holder of all value!
mp_en_viaje: i fully expect that aspiring middle class adolescents do this as a courtship thing, dood asks girl he fancies to "hold on to his wallet" in her purse or something.
mp_en_viaje: sorta like how girl might ask dood to hold on to her keys in gringolandia
phf: a societal markov chain
phf: i thought they were a macho culture though, seems like it would be "zapadlo" to make woman protect your possessions for you
mp_en_viaje: other anecdote : different woman, ~same age, warned ~me~ to put my wad away, there's thieves. this one, you see, hadn't yet accepted her age. so she was being useful, "if you had one like me, your cash would be so protected. ask me to follow ?"
☟︎ phf: there's women so poor, purses contain everything of value they have in general
mp_en_viaje: they're a false macho culture. like the us is a false technical culture.
phf: short of direct robbery i'm always mystified by this thieves thing. thank you, i utterly lack spatial awareness and if not for your warning i would've had this wad of cash yanked straight outta my hand!
mp_en_viaje: religious fanatics going about yelling "our church of santa fe de mit is da premiere technologistical church IN DE WERLD"
mp_en_viaje: phf, there is such a thing as a snatcher, and such a thing as a pickpocket. though... social behaviours serve social purposes. "it's dangerous!!!" for instance works very well for selection. anecdote : ro consul introduced pretty girl, intern at embassy. over sushi she confessed her unimpressment in local boys, "i was walking down candeleria and these dorks were lke o no, it's gotten dark, it's dangerous and soon enough made themselves scarce. wel...

mp_en_viaje: by now securitywank is the premier, if not only left, avenue of strangers talk.
mp_en_viaje: notice that kid coming in here wants to talk to us about... yes ? security!
mp_en_viaje: sorta like how soccer, or "politicians are thieves" worked in 90s post warsaw pact world. reliable agreement items.
mp_en_viaje: if you but always look at people looking at your eyes, seems improbable anyone's ever pickpocketing you.
mp_en_viaje: where do you keep your dough, affixed with chewing gum to the back of your shoe ?
mp_en_viaje: anyway, pickpocket is a sort of picking pennies in front of steamroller, which is why desperation art, rare when food's abundant. every success is pocket change, failure can be a severe beating or worse.
mp_en_viaje: so the pickpocket is both very attentive and very easily discouraged.
mp_en_viaje: stolen cc prolly worth more than average orc pockets contents
mp_en_viaje: not even. "maybe i misplaced it". people have lots.
mp_en_viaje: it boggled my mind, but then it turned out common practice.
phf: when i was a child i wanted to be able to catch a pickpocket, in the process, and then invite him to work for me (i'm not sure doing what, but you know build a team of highly skilled thieves or somesuch), kind of like how it was in the opener of Thief game. unfortunately by the time i actually had money to cary, it didn't seem like a particularly interesting idea
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, a no, lower middle class sorta gals beffudled at "omg lobster is so much more expensive than hamburger paste" "a dollar ?" "YES!"
mp_en_viaje: phf, i spotted lots, mostly getting the butt pocket. nfi why people kept wallets in there in the 80s
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, my memories of us are early 2ooos
mp_en_viaje: i expect the "observe whore, invite to work for me" is more like a phase in sexual life of adolescent.
phf: oh it totally makes sense
phf: particularly when all these scenarios have a consistent "and she turned out to be a pretty girl" punch line
mp_en_viaje: and cook well and love you in the seinfeld sense
mp_en_viaje: (when i'm sick -- you'd better be there with the soup!)
mp_en_viaje: anyway, nothing wrong with the basic instinct of manhood, it gave us domesticated dog and so on.
phf: given the general going ons i wouldn't mind "basic instinct of manhood" as a kind of working baseline, to improve upon later
mp_en_viaje: heck, whole republic is nigh on predicated on it, "observe item almost work, invite it to genesis".

mod6: i like your sense of adventure
mod6: bogota is supposed to be uber dangerous area, you figure, let's inspect this danger. only to find, no one is even there!
mp_en_viaje: the 90s were a lot better for partying, i'll tell you that. it's not clear to me that out of the entire world as it stands you can produce enough night life for a middling 90s town.
mp_en_viaje: imagine this, here i sit in bogota, columbia, like a man in a desert.
mp_en_viaje: mod6, cuz they keep talking to each other, end up believing all sorts of shit.
mod6: ya, rumor upon rumor. "i heard they ride motorcycles and shoot eachother"
mod6: were there a lot of young kids on motorcycles with uzis?
mp_en_viaje: it's larger than fucking ny. they'd bettuer fucking ride motorcycles and shoot each other SOMEWHERE
mp_en_viaje: mod6, nope. moreover, i think if they had an uzi they'd hock it and buy a helmet
mp_en_viaje: o btw, recently they passed a law here (like, last fri) that it is no longer permissible for males over 14 to ride bitch
mod6: like if i was riding, and told you to put your arms around me.
mod6: nothing looks funnier than two dudes on a bike, dick to ass.
mp_en_viaje: dudes locked up the hotel, too. probably because "dangerous", cuz that's gonna deter flamin' bike ridin' bitches shooting uzis : mariott's fucken glass doors. hurr.
mp_en_viaje: but, get this -- these idiots DID make the elevator not work if you don't have your magical key card, so i had to comandeer a maid to get me to my floor. cuz that's fuckinguseful, needing your key for the elevator
mp_en_viaje: HOWEVER they didn't have the fucking sense to make my key open the main gate. fucking banks can figure out this much for atm, but not these dorks. so i gotta wait there for a guard to show up and unlock it and wish me welcome, after the outside guard asks me n times what my room number is.
mp_en_viaje: cuz that's how you fucking welcome guests proper five star like, by having them wait for your dumbass minimum wagers to open their door.
mp_en_viaje: meaning they can be range extended and all the res tof the crapola
mp_en_viaje: who the fuck locks hotels anyway. AT ELEVEN. "we like to pretend world only exists while sun is up. at sunset great dragon swallows everything"

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, that did nothing ; however the "fn f9 will work during boot only" part is correct -- they do.
mp_en_viaje: i would say this is a glorious example of idiocy, imagine, the thing ~would work~ if just left the fuck alone. but smething in boot process fucks up my keys.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, the problem is that there is not that bar here.
mp_en_viaje: wait, is the "protected" mode how you do the useful things such as you know, rowhammer et all ?
mp_en_viaje: i do not want this laptop to even fucking have protected mode. protect what from what ? noty, 32bit realmode for the win.
mp_en_viaje: who even signed off on the "we will cease maintaining realmode" doctor's note ?
mp_en_viaje: how about never mind about that and just do a 32bit realmode version, at the hardware level.
mp_en_viaje: yes i know, but what'd you have me call the refusal of post 1989 "progress" ?
mp_en_viaje: ok. you know how computers worked back in the 80s and then some pre-unicode fuckfaces came up with "protected" mode, which was "better" and "upgrade" ?
mp_en_viaje: i do not want ANYTHING down the protected mode tree. i want the real mode tree continued. update it for wider busses.
mp_en_viaje: i don't want the fucking bs of hey mp we notice your brightness keys do not work would you like to restart the program.
mp_en_viaje: "Due to the enhancements added by protected mode, it has become widely adopted and has become the foundation for all subsequent enhancements to the x86 architecture" << FUCKING BULLSHIT.
mp_en_viaje: see ? the original pantsuitism in computers started cca 1985 or so. when they killed the main branch, in order to pretend that the pantsuit branch "has all the features"
mp_en_viaje: all the USEFUL features could have existed in real mode branch with a minimum of effort. but they CHOSE to not do this.
mp_en_viaje: so no, protected mode hasn;'t become because it offered. the pantsuit decided it must be, and therefore prevented the non-mongoloid child from offering.
☟︎☟︎ mp_en_viaje: and you know, actual men tried to resist this idiocy. all through the 286 era ~nobody used unicodemode bs.
mp_en_viaje: there's absolutely no cause oher than historical accident that real ended at 16 bits.
☟︎ mp_en_viaje: this whole "o no mp, but the karnel must have a special place i ncpu" bs. IF IT DOES BAKE IT.
mp_en_viaje: "but mp, our users need to run random code they have no idea about all the time" "no they don't"
mp_en_viaje: "and besides, correct programs can't even be written" "so then why should they be priviledged ?" "no, see, kernel can be correct because fly eyes fly like fruit."
mp_en_viaje: and at every single fucking twist and turn, too. instead of limiting "firmware" to data, to be executed by bios or gtfo, instead let's "virtual machines" and acpi.
mp_en_viaje: why the everloving fuck would i imagine the solution is for the kernel to choose from a list maintained by the fucking power button
mp_en_viaje: going exactly the wrong way, its like sweeping from the road into the house.
mp_en_viaje: what's so forced about "no, you can't run code. if you want your hardware object '''configured''' or w/e the fuck, here's the bios api, pass data into it. if you can't, fix your printer"
mp_en_viaje: and acpi is strictly "make sure nobody can EVER init the iron and get lost EVER, even if they try to"
mp_en_viaje: "Government sponsored enterprises enter the business, in due course bad behavior is made mandatory, and the evil financial network is bigger than the honest financial network, with the result that even though everyone knows what is happening, people continue to use the paper issued by the evil financial network, because of network effects - the big, main issuers, are the issuers you use if you want to do business." << j. a. donald

a111: Logged on 2015-05-26 23:42 mats: fun fact: there is a particular ACPI table in that you can put anywhere in a low range of memory during boot, and Windows will take the payload data, drop it as an EXE, and run it as SYSTEM.

mp_en_viaje: ave1, would you consider gutting that entire class as a patch ? i have nfi why a "kses" bs is even needed. seems a case of giraffe's jugular.

a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 14:01 asciilifeform: ( i posted even a patched, with own hand , bios for it, iirc phf uses ; and a kernel conf )
phf: freebsd is hilariously nerfed. you can see the butcher cut the pantsuits leave right through the middle of everything
phf: well, i like to take potshots at shitty systems as much as the next lord, but the publicized dev/random issue was there briefly and has officially been patched. i've not attempted to dive into dev/random though
phf: well, it's subtle things, here's an example. the kernel vty used to be syscons for years, replaced by "newcons", standard for a couple of releases now
phf: newcons is "unicode support" "double-width" "bigger font maps". guess what's not there? ~literally everything else that syscons~ supported
phf: "encodings other than ascii/utf-8" "no"
phf: etc. but the most pantsuit aspect of this situation? the infamous well written freebsd documentation is not up to date to any of these new improvements.
☟︎ phf: all the userlevel tools that syscons used? nope, entirely new set of tools for doing pretty much anything, ~with a completely different argument list~
☟︎ phf: yeah, can get for now, but X doesn't magically start, so i need to figure out what's going on there. probably requires hand written xorg.conf
phf: i don't really want to waste much time tweaking the confs, so most things don't really work for now. i have audio and wifi, but suspend dosn't work, nor does the nifty touch screen, etc.
phf: x60, says so on the label
doppler: there were tablet versions of both the x60 and x61
phf: half the packaged in ports say that "there might be bugs since package is lacking maintainer", and we're talking shit like firefox, fvwm, etc.
phf: likewise a lot of them pull gcc for build, lots of complaints about "llvm broke N" when you search for anything
mod6: hai phf, asciilifeform
phf: eh, i haven't found anything that worked better or worse. everywhere i have to carve a haven, but put it on top of quicksand
phf: sure, but the amount of time you spent on gentoo recipe/kernel config, replicated on freebsd would possibly produce similar results. emacs, gnat, irc, etc runs.
phf: gentoo have left a bad taste in my mouth long time ago. i was running it for about a year since first release, and i was even really into python back then!
phf: yes, that would be the meaning of "all of"

mp_en_viaje: 100% serviceless economy, consisting of a bunch of dorks trying to look like the pictures in the decade old magazines from europe they got.
mp_en_viaje: argentina does old italian mags and these idiots old spanish mags, but that's all the difference,

mp_en_viaje: i didn;t even know they still made cars without, why the everloving would you
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, bogota is like, larger than delaware, you understand.
mp_en_viaje: so you don't sit there like miss xue yue in the chicken coop.
mp_en_viaje: you know, sometimes they take the milkmaid for a ride in the back of the little milk truck on three wheeks
trinque: a lot of them have the middle one too, folds out of back seat
mp_en_viaje: nope. 100% imports. let me reiterate : they do not DO anything.
mp_en_viaje: all day long 100% all effort spent trying to ~look a certain way~.
mp_en_viaje: i dunno what the chinese are to blame for.
mp_en_viaje: this is the result of decolonialization. left cape town in the hands of subhuman locals, no more water
mp_en_viaje: left bogota in hands of inferior native stock, it shows.

mp_en_viaje: so all these discussions of causes and how things work and etc, it's so much mathwank. bimbo got her antenna tuned to different gucciquencies.
