Mocky: got a handful more to grunt out. not that I'm back to work I have free time again

Mocky: i haven't had to go into the office every day for 10 years. takes some getting used to

BingoBoingo: Well, when you get vacation time whores are much easier (in theory) to find down here.

Mocky: im on 6 month contract to hire, so no paid time off until they beg me to go perm in July

BingoBoingo: Nevermind the whorehouse around the corner has a couple different websites proposing different hours (franchise operation linked to online online/cable tv porn channel).

BingoBoingo: Mocky: It claims common ownership with the porn channel, but... its online presence is poorly coordinated by even the local standards

BingoBoingo: And the prices are not competitive with the massage houses around Tres Cruces

Mocky: my new slave galley issued me a mac book pro. ugh, i thought i was going to make it to the grave without having to mac ☟︎

Mocky: 'thunderbolt' ports only, even for power. every periph unusable without holy water blessed apple dongle

Mocky: took me a full minute to find the power button, turning it over and every which way.

BingoBoingo remembers first torx screwdriver fondly. Acquired at RadioShack in 1999 to open "Mac Classic"

mircea_popescu: o check it out, it's a mocky

BingoBoingo: Mocky: Plenty of people have run into the terminal not actually being a terminal.

mircea_popescu: how's teh new job yo ?

mircea_popescu: haha. lotta hotties packed in a cube farm ?

Mocky: mircea_popescu: buncha cute chix there yea, lucky for them they now get a man to admire

mircea_popescu: i knew a guy took a pay cut to go tech support a call center.

mircea_popescu: his escort bills went down to ~0, which more than compensated

BingoBoingo: Mocky: The things it plugs into tend not to work the way expected on other systems. phf and pete_duskenski both ran into this iirc

mircea_popescu: seemed like he's on to something for a season. then his drama account blew through the roof.

mircea_popescu: Mocky not usually, call centers generally in orcistan, black girls who can't code only found in "our country".

BingoBoingo: In other news, tonight's second part of the local blackface parade is on despite lightening in the not so distant distance

mircea_popescu: everywhere else, they're like rabbits who can't fly -- nobody seems to notice.

Mocky: so many roles in 'modern development', mostly slotted by chix 'scrum master' 'product owner' 'ux designer' in addition to the traditional hr

mircea_popescu: basically euphemism threadmill for "social worker" aka "active fat black old woman on govt dole".

mircea_popescu: don't call the cripples handicapped anymore, and btw mammie is nao "scrum master", "helps outsiders identify which interactions with the scrum team are helpful and which aren't".

mircea_popescu: the "bitch, did anyone ask yo dum'ass anything ?" fundamental question still unanswered. and unanswered shall it stay, for as long as "participation" is "a value" etc.

BingoBoingo: So, new political commercial popped up during the Parade Break. In song form "Los atracadores, se van, se van" Ended with a time and date for a rally in Colonia.

BingoBoingo: About as relevant as a national campaign rally in Idaho would be if the US didn't have the electoral college.

BingoBoingo: Was a bigger shock than seeing a local naval infantry convoy consisting of a pickup truck and two motocicletas

BingoBoingo: The "Infanteria Naval" truck was a new sight outside of being stuck in traffic on Avenida General Riviera. Usually here we get the "Prefectura Naval"

a111: Logged on 2019-02-08 22:50 asciilifeform: i didnt see much worth buying in BingoBoingostan.. or was mircea_popescu speaking of his locale

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: He hung around and explicitly embraced socialism around the time of the BitBet death

mircea_popescu: so basically, talk-radio host only ?

BingoBoingo: Made an alt-coin "Wood Coin" chopped rather than mined. I confuse him in my head with Framedragger

mircea_popescu: oh oh oh that's what he was, larping about something or the other, i ended up making money on an investment in it.

mircea_popescu: i recall now.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-08#1893943 << isn't it high time you took a hint, got a proper warehouse, with a two-truck wide dock and errything ? ☝︎☟︎

Mocky: in other news, I got my first ru spam blog comment разработка сайтов

BingoBoingo: In other news, driving rain stopped the blackface parade which will be rescheduled because a 6,000,000 peso prize pool is on the line

mircea_popescu ended up writing a novel for mocky's comment sectyion

trinque: Mocky: man aside this caring spectrum construction, how do you approach the "staff hooker at trafficked locale" likelihood of being a viral sink multiplied by the success of the hotel in question?

BingoBoingo: trinque: Condoms work, the thinner the less likely to tear in honest vagina ☟︎

mircea_popescu: Mocky in modernation.

a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 14:57 asciilifeform: gotta indicate to owner when a piece of iron has realized that it is going south.

BingoBoingo: Capsaicin is an awfully loud alarm bell topically applied in meaningful concentrations

BingoBoingo: Either you have a numbing agent that isn't a vasoconstrictor and then what's an odd sensation on top of bliss or you have strong vasoconstrictor and "HOLY SHIT DICK IS SHRINKING" which adds possible complications due to fucking with circulation. could end up with priaprism clotting

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-09#1893960 << requisition 'vmware', throw e.g. cuntoo inside, can pretend it's an actual comp ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-02-09 01:18 Mocky: my new slave galley issued me a mac book pro. ugh, i thought i was going to make it to the grave without having to mac

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: think of it as the mercaptan that gets added to naturalgas. it aint meant to enhance the smelling experience, quite opposite.

BingoBoingo: Mercaptan doesn't generally risk losing chunks of lung tissue. Effective local anesthetics/vasoconstrictors do risk killing meat if applied in uncontrolled manners.

BingoBoingo: Capsaicin in that respect is the less destructive alarm bell until encountered live.

BingoBoingo: In undergrad when Bush 2 was President my roommates and myself experimented with all sorts of "not torture" USG tech

BingoBoingo: Waterboarding generally induced more acute feelings of mortality, but OC... that left lingering resentments

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i recall, when 1st saw mention of 'waterboarding', didn't grasp what the item behind the limba de lemn was, thought 'ah, like snowboarding, but on water, that thing they do where board rides on wave' , initially was confused

BingoBoingo: Permeable wet rag applied over airholes, stream of water applied to rag

asciilifeform: ( conan doyle's 'the leather funnel' had a picturesque picture of the trad inquisition-style waterboard )

BingoBoingo: The explanation of the board becomes obvious when applying to subjects in bathtub. Gotta restrain the limbs

BingoBoingo: trinque: I've chopped peppers as well. The difference is concentration. Goes back to the cannabis threads.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, flailing is a reflex rather than conscious activity

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the trad sovok variant of this item is 'let's play elephant'. where with gas mask.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: All I can say is I haven't spoken with 6 of 8 in a decade, 7 of 8 in 3 years

trinque: BingoBoingo: did I read this correctly in re: experimenting with torturing each other?

BingoBoingo: trinque: Midwestern liberal arts college band of brothers failed effort arising from a lack of culture

BingoBoingo: The only drugs we needed were a lot of booze an a bit of weed, when available.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno if you realise this, but condom is quite permeable.

mircea_popescu: not for large things like sperms, but vaporub certainly crosses.

mircea_popescu: also, condom very vulnerable, wanna see a show put one on then sprinkle lime juice on it.

a111: Logged on 2013-11-13 14:20 asciilifeform: we had a beautifully-educational incident with DMSO

trinque: BingoBoingo: isn't as though I don't appreciate the "subject me to something why don't you!!!" urge. was discussing this earlier in the shop.

mircea_popescu: seems the more natural and arguably healther way that college experience goes would be (c)a(r)nal knowledge.

BingoBoingo: trinque: No diminuative interpretation implied in the reading of your question.

trinque: in my young idiot tribe it was more an endurance game of substance abuse and seeing who was left standing at the end.

BingoBoingo: But liberal arts college 2004-2008 we all knew Obola was bringing African Medicine and what is Pantsuit inca?

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: iirc recently they trotted out a new pantsuit cow whose 'turn next', but the name escapes me

trinque: the flailing and 300 liberal messiahs indicates they've got nothing left.

BingoBoingo: The Upper Classman apartements trinque were bordered by dairy cows grazing. Went to see week before taking off. Cows still there.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Kamala Harris. Opposed by AOC, a sort of short mestizo Pol Pot aspergant.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at umd they had ~1~ cow. with a sort of hatch installed in it, for didactic purposes. and when it keels over they make a new one.

trinque: BingoBoingo: it's not different from my evening; chugged a few beers with ben_vulpes and the junior gent. "throw me at anything boss!", and we still make these in TX apparently.

BingoBoingo: trinque: They had a chance until they refused me for the referance librarian position 2012-2017 advertised annually as 'entry level'

trinque: and what I've got for him isn't death, but "maybe we get a shot after enough webshits"

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Working dairy. Multiple cows, one young black woman injured by escaped calf.

BingoBoingo: My cohort broke to humanities out of relativism, God still sorting out the casualties

mircea_popescu: this is possibly the shittiest college anyone yet named.

BingoBoingo: It gets shittier. I only read Lardner this past weekend. None of my three "academic advisers" read lardner.

BingoBoingo: Still, more grounded than SIU Department of Philosophy which followed my doubling down.

trinque: somehow the recreational pain to humanities to jesus bridge makes perfect sense.

trinque: at any rate texas doesn't have much these days. you encounter these ones you can throw at anything at 100 ppm tops

BingoBoingo: As mentioned in the logs SIU Philosophy department has been more than gutted by their naive standards, more cuts to come.

BingoBoingo: McKendree went on a Bond Binge 2 years after I left, still binging. i suspect the landing will suck.

BingoBoingo: Mizzou surrendered any pretense it has to Univeristy in the name of sportsball, let accredidation in what I went there to degree in lapse, but...

mircea_popescu: from on the ground reports, ~all us undergrad programmes mostly consist of junior data entry jobs these days.

BingoBoingo: trinque: Tranquilo. Imports are the biggest friction point, but even those are smooth.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: They don't unless standards for Junior Data Entry fell off of a cliff.

mircea_popescu: it's basically "look around on the net and paste in this box"

mircea_popescu: exams practically http://gothtypes.wikia.com/wiki/Emo_Goth one and all.

mircea_popescu: i'm sorry. TEXTBOOKS practically http://gothtypes.wikia.com/wiki/Emo_Goth one and all. exams -- https://www.gotoquiz.com/scemo_emo_goth_or_just_a_poser

BingoBoingo: My alma mater still let professors enforce pages and wordcount so gotta paste more.

mircea_popescu: replace "goth" with "engineer" or w/e, "poser" with "career woman", http://trilema.com/2014/how-the-other-half-lives-or-michael-o-church-is-a-scummy-fuckwit/ has the details./

BingoBoingo: The highest standards I encountered were at SIU, but what they wanted was the most retarded. Mizzou was in the middle as far as being in the middle of retardedness of desired spew and volume. McK was at the bottom for lack of discernable standards.

mircea_popescu: trinque so does hanbot

mircea_popescu: keks.

BingoBoingo: I dunno how Spanish works in Costa Rica beyong everyone pretending to be Usted.

nicoleci: whats so great about new harmony? a few extra farms? tractor exhibit? 2 kfc buffets?!

nicoleci: lol - ahh, im sorry for him thats where he ended up, would have been better in iowa

BingoBoingo: Indiana gets thoeretical Utopian peasants, Illinois gets applied Utopian peasants, Iowa gets East Coast faggots on adventure

mircea_popescu: ahahaha check out the scenester

BingoBoingo: My hometown to this day exports transformers and high voltage switches though from one as opposed to three firms it once did

BingoBoingo: nicoleci: In younger times go to even smaller Alhambra, blow up ford escorts with the "toast club"

BingoBoingo: In older times go to AA meetings, Reunion with kids younger than "toast club"

nicoleci: mircea_popescu, the only scene i have is the one without water because the locals, turn it off at 9pm every night

BingoBoingo: Ok, I wonder why the locals here don't take the water quality remedy back home and use solar power to stir and oxygenate the water near the beach to prevent fishkills

BingoBoingo: nicoleci: Compact cars with a transmission that will mate to literally anything

BingoBoingo: Got a dump truck with a broken chassis? Toss that good motor in an escort.

nicoleci: ah okay, makes sense. this is giving me terrible flashbacks to indiana truck rallies

BingoBoingo: Pitting Harvesters past their economic utility in one last effort at a cash prize>

nicoleci: BingoBoingo, lmao i refused to go but of course. then you head to the county fair!

BingoBoingo especially enjoyed the police intervening in the combine demo derby for "attempted murder" when the hot driver loaded up the bin with stolen utility poles

nicoleci: BingoBoingo, like two weeks! and it cost money to get in, people talked about it for a fucking month before. Ahaha it was about 40 minutes from me so no walking, lake county, IN is a pretty large area unfortunately.

BingoBoingo: Niver less than five minutes on foot until it turned into 20+ hours on plane

BingoBoingo down was down with the clown but always got lost on the way to the gathering... Until it lost its appeal

BingoBoingo: nicoleci: I suspect the Republic's biggest audience historically has been of midwestern upbringing for the acuteness of what pantsuit stole being felt.

BingoBoingo: Mind trinque, ben_vulpes, and asciilifeform living in alt-Midwests to this day

BingoBoingo hopes to have opened at least one new vein for mircea_popescu and hanbot to mine

nicoleci: BingoBoingo, hahaha! i hope you get to met your hero shaggy2dope one day

BingoBoingo: Anyways, my hometown and several near it were the lucky ones in the region for NOT having coal veins of importance

BingoBoingo: Today they are places you can plop down a US stick and plastic "habitation" without eating an insurance dick for risk on mine subsidence

BingoBoingo: When they mines died, unlike their unlucky neighbors they didn't Qatar and die

nicoleci: BingoBoingo, ahh I see and this was in Illinois? steel is our defunct industry

BingoBoingo: Next town over friend of the father's family runs his farm with energy costs == teflon tape for not selling mineral rights over an empty rock dome which today is a pressurized natgas router.

BingoBoingo: Steel is a defuct industry here too, but they used to and around Nashville still mine coal. But the kind rich in sulfur. No anthracite primadonna shit.

BingoBoingo can not recommend DIY mine tours on the grounds that IRL hell is cold and wet

BingoBoingo: Indiana's primary disability is it lacks Illinois' geological weird at the extremes

nicoleci: BingoBoingo, cant imagine what youd find in a mine. agreed, indiana only has limestone and plenty of caves to tour

BingoBoingo: Well, dead shark jaws and black sand dollars a plenty. Like other not that uncommon things people pretend there's market scarcity until a grand kid unloads grandpa's hoard.

BingoBoingo: Then they specify and region wank defending what they are holding from the new aggressive seller. Very much a Chinese bullion coin problem.

nicoleci: interesting - unsurprisingly i had no idea about the black sand dollars and dead shark jaws

nicoleci: hmm makes sense. so much cooler than indiana. i lived in naperville for a year, such a mistake.

BingoBoingo bases that on hotel pool being closed 8th grade state geography bee... to the extent Illinois could pretend such a contest

BingoBoingo: Rockford much cooler, Koi in the hotel lobby (6th grade lower standards, ratchet works one way)

BingoBoingo: This of course ends in not being down with the clown because lil' debbie claims to be the ratchet, a claim contested by alicia all whatever the fuck

BingoBoingo: Followed by mud huts surrounding mine tailing retention ponds, declarations that small mouth bass ought to have three eyes, and why shouldn't your cousin be the prettiest girls, etc, etc,

BingoBoingo: Definitive cultural artifact, apologies for the Vexual format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt0C7yVhkaY

BingoBoingo: Titled: "MICHELLE OBAMA" Official Video - LiL DEBBiE & RiFF RAFF + ATL..."

BingoBoingo: Midwest stress can break 4 ways from my perch: to republic, to the grindstone, to walmart scootypuffs, and to African booty Purple Drank shit

nicoleci: BingoBoingo, lmao! lil debbie is a terrorist, ugh riff raff was probably born at walmart and true rockford is much cooler. asciilifeform is going to be so mad at the quality of the channel discussion

mircea_popescu: i have nfi what you two are on about, by and large.

BingoBoingo: WoT is a thing. I have my doubts asciilifeform will find this tangent without quality as I took him to the Tres Cruses national bus terminal and shopping for ice cream and shade en route to the store that sells cables.

BingoBoingo: White girls with the one token white guy chanting pantsuit friendly phraseology to a beat

mircea_popescu: why trinque ?

BingoBoingo: I am not comfortable being outside of a leisurley walk to the Pizarro Rack without coverage.

BingoBoingo: surley, becaue there is one bum normally situated in the other direction who enjoys playing with his mortality too much

mircea_popescu: oh i read ~barring~ was confused.

mircea_popescu: anyway, im guessing after this spirited bout of dank posting, bb will be forever known as bimboboingo

BingoBoingo entertained the afrodescendiente bitches in old country, awful ergonomics

BingoBoingo: I'm 5'7, hooked 5'9 and 5'11 lean testaments to Africa back where Africa was trendy.

mircea_popescu: i think he might've eaten three halves.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You can't dry the memories, but taste testing candidates for "the mellow stuff"

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so send 'em to cr, we take 6 foot non-pink nippled gals here.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ftr asciilifeform found that 1 half is quite enuff to 'watch cartoons on ceiling'

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: carbon black nipples the both of them. Raised withing 5 km of each other. One catholic schools (not rare) other "baptist" school.

BingoBoingo: nicoleci: asciilifeform looks the same as he always does when he isn't wearing his special customs clearing outfit

BingoBoingo: And the edibles are some dangerous shit. Put a venue to sleep for ~10 pesos a head and leave em stupid for a week using the common sourced shit.

BingoBoingo: Stoners talk about "CBD" like its a miracle for a reason. It is not that "CBD" is a miracle fix everything drug. It is that "CBD" is a partial agonist at the receptors they soak!

BingoBoingo: <nicoleci> lmao! the racks will be okay for a few days << Not if the jews know which few days

BingoBoingo: For Chronic self disabilitating stoners "CBD" will lift them out of the fog.

BingoBoingo: Seriously changes the "How I would have done it" of every heist movie involving drugs ever.

BingoBoingo: Anyways, as a partial agonist CBD, should your flower have it caps how high the high is

BingoBoingo: And apparently is in all the "creative flower" as reconstructed by "justus todd Raveneirs"

BingoBoingo: Like Vareniciline for nicotine, except... not touching the dominant muscle receptor

BingoBoingo: Maybe some babies with congentital weird stop seizing to death on CBD, but the principal benefit seems to be to confirmed stoners who want to stop actively disabling themselves

BingoBoingo: nicoleci: There was another thread near http://bingology.net/2018/10/14/that-one-agricultural-product-and-uruguay/ where mircea_popescu mentioned he veteran stoner knocked out by new shit

BingoBoingo: Out for 8+ hours like an oxy freak, but on pantsuit friendly cannajeans

BingoBoingo: This is Uruguay, I am surrounded by retards who do indoor tends while posessing perfectly good baclonies with sun exposure.

BingoBoingo: The mission, as I see it, is to find an antidote. The high times promises this antidote is a partial agonist they call CBD>

BingoBoingo: Tonight I am tempted to burn them all for fucking my already abysmal dyslexiatech spell algorithms

BingoBoingo recommends if one must have a drug induced break down the best place is in a public where the peers know your baseline

BingoBoingo still pretty sure recommending 35k cost basis locations with 75k wages to alf in 2015 which had loading docks

BingoBoingo: Not really, they made a piss poor showing at their own expo cannabis unmanning their own domestic seed bank booths. Current sample which exceeds disability I am inclined to share with datacenter is "Auto Blue Ace CBD" by "Delicious Seeds"

BingoBoingo: Aftertaste they accurately describe as hash. For effect they mention NOTHING at all about my crank case full of strawberry cosby.

BingoBoingo: This isn't the pisspot story. Cocaine has some virtues. I dunno that weed can be anything other than Pol Pot shit

BingoBoingo: Well Paraguay is either #1, #2 or #3 in the world and Paraguay isn't your almost neighbor

BingoBoingo: <nicoleci> lmao to bad, sounds more organized than Costa Ricas product << Before you think this could be a good thing consider tomatoes back home

BingoBoingo: To Spoil this country's domestic indoor crop only requires 10-24 male plants of southwest asian descent started last week

BingoBoingo: Consider the water tumor that is a Walmart tomato, the sickness that is a farmers market tomato, and the bliss that is one of your grandparent's tomatoes provided they don't suck

BingoBoingo: If you have ate a purple tomato you know what I mean. If you ate a SOLID purple tomato... that is a lot of dye... are you still pissing blue?

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you need some sleep you know.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'browser that works' would be a mighty great thing.

asciilifeform: hm hanbot doesn't seem to have the selector js thing in place ( or does, and it dungo..? )

asciilifeform: hanbot: i thought you were gonna revv up a cuntoo ? article seems to concern a classical gentoo install ?

asciilifeform: the provided box is already running a trad gentoo; theoretically should suffice for bringing up cuntoo, as i understand

auctionbot: Buy order # 1039 created by BingoBoingo: 500 Wired Filthy Fiats (WU esta bien) Opening: 154mn ecu Ending: 2019-02-10 04:37:54.605523 UTC (23 hours)

a111: Logged on 2019-02-09 15:29 mircea_popescu: Mocky now you gotta answer it :D

trinque: hanbot: two things. one, you'll need to build phf's vtools and have that available in the build environment. the build wont generate a genesis.vpatch without it.

trinque: secondly, the build expects you to pass a whole block device (disk) upon which it will write a completely new partition scheme. you don't want to do this to the drive from which you booted.

asciilifeform: trinque: we supplied hanbot with box containing empty sata disk, and separate (usb) drive from which booted.

asciilifeform: seems to me from the article that hanbot went to setup up a ~traditional~ gentoo 1st, which as i understand isn't actually needed ( machine already booted into 1 )

trinque: yep, just needs a virgin disk. no need to stand up another vanilla gentoo on that disk first; the bootstrapper handles everything else.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Seems like the sort of thing that can save work later. The supplied USB is a "live" image working off of a squashfs

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it has 12G of writeable space, oughta suffice for cuntoo build afaik

BingoBoingo: Indeed. Yet I suspect doing a heathen gentoo on the spinning disk will provide a valuable point of contrast Cuntoo. There's 2 kinds of steps you can insert into a process beyond the minimum. Educative ones where you explore the space gathering experience which may be useful later. The other kind are pure friction a la SOPS.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as i understand, then would need a ~third~ disk for cuntoo.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: imho there's not much educational value any moar in setting up ancient gentoo; it's obsoleted by cuntoo, and quite difficult to revv up on acct of the dead mirrors ☟︎

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: We've got disks both USB and a second missile code free 160G spinner

asciilifeform: i'm not even certain that it's ~possible~ today to glue together a complete classical gentoo ( and if possible today -- may not be tomorrow )

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there is of course the bottled gentoo i baked for rk; but it is also arguably a technological dead-end, and eventually oughta be replaced with arm cuntoo

asciilifeform: ( cuntoo was not available when i baked rk , and it was necessary to work around the sad state of the upstream mirrors, hence why bottled it )

asciilifeform: rk-gentoo still pulls from heathen mirrors if you 'emerge ...' , i dun expect this will work 4evah

asciilifeform: and incidentally ( achtung rk users ! ) if you are careless and allow 'emerge' to update, you will hose the machine, from that point it will whine ( about the prohibition on systemd!! ) and grind to a halt when asked to emerge anyffin

asciilifeform: i'd prefer to get the rk plant onto a working cuntoo as soon as it becomes practical.

asciilifeform: iirc this is amply documented in the logs, but will remind folx again, ~errything~ on the heathen mirrors oughta be considered in full fungal bloom, at this pt.

asciilifeform: i defungated this bread crust many times, but there aint so much bread remaining in it.

asciilifeform: a working cuntoo is the only path fwd for reproducible, reasonably-working unix box.

hanbot: asciilifeform, trinque, BingoBoingo no, i'm aware. nevertheless, wanted to try getting a gentoo on first, seeing how it's in fact needed, and perhaps the general case of someone who isn't this good friends with this many experts is to be explored. ☟︎

lobbesbot: hanbot: Sent 2 days, 15 hours, and 19 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/ODjpO/?raw=true << Credentials for AMD64 box

hanbot: doesn't seem too rosy, either. (i just hope i didn't hose your install usb in the process somewhere.)

BingoBoingo: hanbot: I still have the image I wrote and other sticks up to 16GB locally sourced without Uruguay pricing hitting too hard

mod6: not 10 full days, but certainly 10 days of approx. 2 hour sessions each day. i've been hooking up null modem cables to capture kernel panics... i've taken to hacking trinque's scripts, just about everything to try to conquer this type of error:

mod6: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

mod6: Anyway, I think it maybe just hates my iron for some unknown reason. Obviously, I leaving out a lot of details here, but i've tried everything, different boot loaders, minor adjustments to fstab, a working kernel, map and initrd from the working gentoo (ON THE SAME BOX)... a hand built initrd.

mircea_popescu: mod6 you gotta post all this wtf.

asciilifeform: mod6: if yours panics, sounds like kernel (or even iron) problem , rather than cuntoo issue

asciilifeform: cuntoo afaik is atm silent on the question of what goes in kernel.

mod6: well, I didn't want to send people down rabbit holes, but now im at the point where I think I can't get any further with out more help.

mod6: right, i agree, so i don't think it's ~cuntoo~ per se... but imagine this. I've had gentoo running on that hardware for nearly a year since i bought it.

asciilifeform: lotsa folx over the years tried 'telepathic debug', but it never worx, we aint got any telepaths

mircea_popescu: thinking about http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-09#1894351 / http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-09#1894364 it seems to me that we've created this situation where at the same time a) there's no real purpose to still looking at heathen gentoo as anything more than crap but also b) there's not very clearly delineated "use this prepackaged thing" (nor is a all that clearly communicated). ☝︎☝︎

mod6: after lastnights mis-adventure; i'm out of ideas, so I'll stop banging on it and make a post.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: heathen gentoo is exactly lenin's 'we build the new shithouse from the rubble of the old, there aint any imported brick to build it from'

mircea_popescu: "transition phase", whatever, but the point remains that if we're going to actually take the a) view then something very much like what she's looking for ("i took what looked like the tmsr official gentoo off the foundation site") should also exist.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: presently exists for rk. do you suppose also oughta have one for pc ?

mircea_popescu: i'm guessing what we actually want here is to get cuntoo ready already and then just skip this step altogether ; meanwhile sit unprotected

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't specifically know, but what she says is not without merit, "what's somebody other than me supposed to do???"

mircea_popescu: after all, the whole fucking point of "test this" is the "somebdoy other than me" outlook. otherwise what, "worked for me" ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ideally would be 'download trinque's signed iso and boot from it, then install cuntoo' ☟︎

mircea_popescu: gotta look around when testing.

asciilifeform: i gotta agree with mircea_popescu tho, the current recipe is very muchly 'wanna light a fire? take a stick, and yer old fire..'

mircea_popescu: won't be the end of the world if we manage to actually have a cuntoo in a few months.

asciilifeform: trinque: what's the obstacle currently in the way of a bootable cuntoo iso ?

mircea_popescu: well for one thing he's waiting for some sig reproductions.

mircea_popescu: or at any rate, i'd be were i him.

asciilifeform: rright , but this apparently requires a working fossilized gentoo. to reproduce at all.

mod6: i should add, that my output genesis has never verified with his original sig, i admit to not even trying his new sig posted in his comment section.

mod6: just because I can't even get it to boot, so just left that aside for the time being.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider this phd assemblyline we've made here : both mod6 and hanbot have sunk >1 hour into it with little to show for.

mod6: i'll go to work on a blog post, this weekend. will try to capture all the details.

mircea_popescu: and this is the ~reported~, who knows what else.

asciilifeform: what i thought hanbot was going to do, is to attempt trinque's recipe using BingoBoingo's beachhead stick . then BingoBoingo's fossil gentoo can be pressed into service as standard beachhead, while such thing still needed.

mod6: i've actually been lucky enough to have shinohai's ear this whole time too, who actually has a working cuntoo.

mircea_popescu: seems that's definitely what she's going to do now.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno about you, but i am fucking suspicious as all hell of all these "here's our matrix dot printer, to use it here's the matrix dot printer program".

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's not my fossil gentoo outside of the sense I plucked it out of the wild for a lack of anything else

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the only total cure for thompsonism is to ditch unix/c/pc/etc entirely. we aint there yet tho.

mod6: on the bright side, i thought that my inital new SSD i ordered for cuntoo was just bad in some way, so i went and bought another. so now i have a spare :]

mircea_popescu not about to pull a stink about it in the instant case, obviously. but the general config still is "wtf, can't use my own gentoo for this, gotta use apple's cable ?"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem is that 'my own gentoo' is not a defined item.

mircea_popescu: good thing it has a name.

mod6: i should also mention that shinohai's working cuntoo is a APU box - not intel.

mircea_popescu: shinohai did you publish all this somewhere ?

mod6: anyway, I apologize for not reporting sooner, just thought that I could emerge victorious one of these attempts. I'll stfu and go to work on a blog with more deets.

mircea_popescu: mod6 as a rule of thumb, a thing whatever it may be that took over a coupla hours of your time's ripe for blog article by the very nature of life expectancy.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall the 9000 headaches of folx who tried to build pre-rotor trb ? asciilifeform did not resort to 'and now run this 4 hour script that builds a gcc, and then builds with it a gcc, and ~then~ builds deps, and ~then~ trb' just to make life moar interesting.

mircea_popescu: tes,\

mircea_popescu: yes*

asciilifeform: it was forced move, on acct of the shitfest that is 'bring own linux'

mircea_popescu: i'm looking at this with an eye to eulora client also and so fucking following.

shinohai: mircea_popescu: http://btcinfo.sdf.org/blog/cuntoo-a-linux-that-sucks-less.html <<< I will mention that the USB version won't boot yet, only useful as chroot device.

mircea_popescu: shinohai well, so does trinque 's sig match ?

shinohai: His sig matched in that case, yes. Subsequent attempts on my i5 lappy have failed to get matching sig.

mircea_popescu: shinohai did you post the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-03#1892049 anywhere ? ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-02-03 17:19 trinque: diana_coman: might I get a tarball of your cuntoo build directory's present state?

mircea_popescu: for that lappy i mean

shinohai: Nope, haven't posted the build/ directory up yet. Probably will do so soon.

mircea_popescu: ok so basically so far the situation's that shinohai managed to get trinque's sig to match on a rk but not an intel lappy, while diana_coman mod6 hanbot failed to get it to match on a diverse set of items (laptop, desktop, racked box).

mircea_popescu: and it also came to light it can't yet be seated on 32 bit machines.

mircea_popescu: that about the situation so far ?

hanbot: well my failed attempt isn't known to have anything to do with cuntoo, as i didn't touch it yet.

mircea_popescu: a yes, preparatory phases yet. alright.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Rather than a rk, shinohai cuntoo'd and AMD E-300 (AMD 64) laptop

mircea_popescu: ah ok.

mircea_popescu: shinohai you gonna be selling eulora machines nao, like danielpbarron used to ?

mircea_popescu: god knows it'd have come in handy, at the least during http://logs.minigame.biz/2019-01-17.log.html#t11:10:22 sadness.

lobbesbot: Logged on 2019-01-17 11:10:22: <requiemzz> im having issues installing the game on linux its failing after running "make"

shinohai: I wish ... would like to have a barn full of the AMD boards, not the most powerful in the world but run really great, even with own gentoo recipe.

mircea_popescu: http://btcinfo.sdf.org/blog/dpb-removed-from-republican-rss-roll.html << lol, check out the skeptical/aloof/pardoy/etcetera, theological discussions, #trilema-from-a-distance, what have you.

mircea_popescu: you know, you're failing to keep up! there's been at least a coupla more items hence!

shinohai misses Qntra shitcoin lampooning most, but audience is good now on own pages.

mircea_popescu: http://btcinfo.sdf.org/blog/bcinfobot.html << anyone want his bot in here ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: shinohai shouldn't you have a comment section or something ?

shinohai: Possibly, was experimenting with this comment based on btc block times thing, still haven't got it sorted.

mircea_popescu: is this basically your hand spun cl cms or what ?

mircea_popescu: the blog

shinohai: Blog is just an awk script that generates pages since I like composing from vim. (If wp had this feature would gladly use)

mircea_popescu: why doesn't it ?

mircea_popescu: i mean... you can compose it in emacs and email it to the blog even

shinohai: I dunno if in logs, but I tried this with mp-wp couple years back and didn't get it working properly. https://github.com/dsawardekar/wordpress.vim

mircea_popescu: do you specifically want hooks and all that ? what am i missing here, you can just write your article in vim and either email it to the blog's pop3 acct or else paste it in the web box i guess.

mircea_popescu: though honestly, if i wanted to vim-face mp-wp, i'd put a vimterface on ~mysql~ directly, rather than the wp wrapper.

shinohai: Well I often find myself using box with no X server, is there a way to say make curl request or something that would paste into web box?

mircea_popescu: https://vimconf.wordpress.com/ << meanwhile in other lulz.

mircea_popescu: shinohai certainly.

mircea_popescu: and you can definitely use the email route. moreover, if you suck in some gpgtron, you can even have the thing exposed, and only publish signed content.

mircea_popescu: you specifically want to curl into the web box ?

mircea_popescu: well, put something like httpfox on a browser or w/e you use for that, BingoBoingo can set you up a test acct on their shared environment, and you can capture the request it makes and use that in the future.

mircea_popescu: prolly need a coupla cookies and the exact path of wp-admin/blabla

mircea_popescu: actually, a completely curl-tomated mp-wp interaction thingee would be a great addition to mp-wp itself, imo.

mircea_popescu: login/create new article/insert pics/publish/check pending comments/approve/mark as spam sorta thing.

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-09#1894395 << the aim is to have people understand what I built and packaged up before cutting such an ISO ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-02-09 18:37 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ideally would be 'download trinque's signed iso and boot from it, then install cuntoo'

trinque: when an ISO is cut, it will come with a corresponding ISO-cutter ebuild.

mircea_popescu: i don't even agree, fwiw. i'm not about to saddle you with a "now you gotta maintain magic gentoo" task.

mircea_popescu: the pointers should point to cuntoo, once it's ready.

mircea_popescu: i mean in the sense of "well, buncha people checked sigs, signed themselves, are running it all day"

mircea_popescu: doesn't seem all that far off, shinohai got eulora running on it apparently.

mircea_popescu: eg, you run it all day, but apparently not on 32 bit machines ? that sorta thing.

mircea_popescu: needs to diffuse a little more, it seems.

mircea_popescu: speaking of which, hey asciilifeform do we have any plans to move phuctor to cuntoo ?

mircea_popescu: kinda seems like we should.

trinque: reading the logs since I departed, seems like it'd be helpful to do another post (after a bunch of sig verifications) where I do a literate version of the script ☟︎

mircea_popescu: literate versions never EVER hurt anything.

mircea_popescu: nor the writer nor the reader.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd like to move ~all~ of asciilifeform-tended irons to cuntoo eventually.

mircea_popescu: yes but neveremind the generalities. specifically phuctor, it's from what i understand just python ?

mircea_popescu: + of course postgres.

asciilifeform: front end is python , back end is statically linked c that'll run anywhere

mircea_popescu: seems like the "i run it all day" glove could benefit from the sort of heavy duty brush phuctor can provide.

mircea_popescu: now THAT is "i run all day", literally, multiply numbers at processor speed 24/7

asciilifeform: phuctor is actually due for a redisking , for expanded space, would like to combine this with encuntooation, once we establish that pg runs

mircea_popescu: this'd be grand. when's the due date ?

asciilifeform: no sooner than hanbot is done with her proj on the spare unit, but no reason to wait any longer .

mircea_popescu: jesus the blockings.

asciilifeform: i'ma prepare a pilot box on desk for cuntooism and reproduction of pg etc

mircea_popescu: good idea.

asciilifeform: it gotta be done at any rate, currently asciilifeform is the tortoise in the cuntoo race fulla achileses

mircea_popescu: keks.

asciilifeform: my last shot failed, and with no usable debugola, but trinque has updated since, and high time to retry.

mircea_popescu: tbh this thing is moving along quite prettily ; once we've had eulora and phuctor run on it for a few months we'll know whether it's stable or not and if not what to fix.

mircea_popescu: but in any case, can start talking of a much better trb sitting.

asciilifeform: in all other respects it's ~identical to ressonably vintage trad gentoo , mechanically

mircea_popescu: i guess so. though, as you well pointed out, "gentoo" doesn't mean anything, and adding "vintage" or "traditional" dun fix this.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the only genuinely informative parameter re old gentoo is vintage -- steady rise of fungi the closer to present day

trinque: yes, snapshot-and-fork of a musl-gentoo, but particularly that the snapshotting produces a genesis.vpatch

trinque: the genesis.vpatch is also human-sized, does not contain everything that was in gentoo portage. it contains only what is necessary to have a booting system.

trinque: (if I did not do the gruntwork of identifiying and extracting only the needed ebuilds, genesis would've been nearly 1gb instead of ~4mb)

mircea_popescu: trinque "it's a test of musl" in the sense that if something breaks it'll likely be that, not reasonable to expect that because you took out whatever solitaire version gets bundled with gentoobuntu then therefore your build crashes.

asciilifeform: trinque: this makes sense, esp. in light of where portage really oughta be replaced with vtronic system eventually

mircea_popescu: THOUGH, in fairness, the genuine ubuntu very much fucking would, http://trilema.com/2014/ubuntu-is-a-worse-piece-of-shit-than-ms-dos-ever-was/#selection-149.127-149.158 and all that.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: correct, it's the 1 major param on which differs substantially , in ways known to break old softs

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: shituntu in that sense ~worse than winblowz~, afaik

mircea_popescu: "this one crash that only happens twice every third saturday when running postgres on cuntoo in x mode with y switch doing z task" is still catastrophic, as these things go.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was making a 2014 point, see. that portion of it meanwhile obsolete.

asciilifeform: i've never used shituntu for anyffin aside from 'rescue disk' 1ce, and even in ~that~ job it fails utterly

mircea_popescu: i use it to torture girls. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: delivers splendidly.

mircea_popescu: cuz this has social media support.

mircea_popescu: they can go where they normally go and engage in the usual http://trilema.com/2017/fake-news-are-just-one-tail-of-the-failed-female-state/ activities they expect "will help" and also "are the only way to go", because #metoo and those maga people are assholes. etc.

mircea_popescu: it's well chosen.\

trinque: btw this means that e.g. what mod6 is experiencing are more likely to be "I need to go understand kernels and lilo better" than "cuntoo is broken" ☟︎

mircea_popescu: trinque i didn't suspect cuntoo was necessarily at fault there, no.

mircea_popescu: nor did he, lol.

trinque: possible his kernel relies on the magical module or firmware loading initrds tend to perform

mircea_popescu: right.

asciilifeform: iirc we discussed this, for max hygiene one wants 'module-less' kernel config

mircea_popescu: well yes but that doesn't work on all hw.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: correct, it's a 2-step process, first gotta find what yer iron actually needs re kernelisms

mircea_popescu: true.

mircea_popescu: a, btw... are we also putting an x on this thing ?

mircea_popescu goes to dig for phf 's original x rant... that thing was something else.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun keep x on racked boxen, and dunno why anybody would, aside from truly exotic case

mircea_popescu: so who says cuntoo is for racked boxes only.

trinque: recall the "gentoo" repository is still present on the build, though at lower priority than "cuntoo"

mircea_popescu: the one thing gabriel ladel did manage, get phf ranting about cairo, sgi, x, permission models, where the fuxck was it

trinque: it'd be appropriate for someone to see what ebuilds are actually required for a sensible x11, and to make a vpatch containing them

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: d00d was quite good in role of the mummy from 'day of the tentacle' ( if anyone recalls, mega-game )

mircea_popescu: it would be, which is why i'm tryna volunteer this guy. hey phf you about ?

mircea_popescu: i recall, puzzle thingee.

asciilifeform: there was a scene where you open sarcophagus with mummy, and monologue to it, and end up with hint

mircea_popescu: lol.

mircea_popescu: where the fuck is it god damned it, dood proved succintly he well understands the permission model sanity required by the whole stack and the idiotic breakage later morons introduced and now i can't fucking find it.

mircea_popescu: pretty sure it was triggered by discussion of gpg "security" features, other-windows-can-read-keystrokes, how and wherefore idiots ended up stuffing everything in the top context and it's not really x's fault and so on.

mircea_popescu: but -- lost it is.

mircea_popescu: in short -- i don't merely wish to import x and then end up in bullshit "kde vs gnome" faux "dilemma"s of the femstate ilk. i wish to import x in such a way as to have a sane stack. which is why i wanna saddle phf with it. ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2017-06-17 03:36 phf: see architecturally wayland and x11 couldn't be more different. x11 supports a special network protocol that lets clients from different sources connect to the same instance of x. for example you can have a client from a different user on the same machine or a client from a network source (like over ssh)

mircea_popescu: there's no acceptable x-wrappers atm, FOR THIS REASON.

mircea_popescu: (also other reasons, but this is the most cleanly evidently indicative of the braindamage involved)

mircea_popescu: there is ~no point~ in even having graphics if we permit broken interfaces between x and the downstream apps.

asciilifeform: it was the only graphical browser that was willing to build itself.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what is your idea here, "cuntoo comes with gtk 2 and firefox 40" ?!

mircea_popescu: yes, well, i wish to hear what that one guy has to say. then we see.
