asciilifeform: ( on rk, 0 and 1 respectively )

mircea_popescu: yeah, but... if you'rte gonna beef-server, might as well get a 32 core monster.

asciilifeform: i also have an old and well-oiled toolchain for it, where can e.g. throw customer payload directly into rom, if desired

mircea_popescu: basically there's not much room for middle here. either rk or else monster -- even things such as shared hosting are better off on large x86 server than a bunch of mid ones

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: apu is something rather like a x64 rk.

mircea_popescu: aha.

mircea_popescu: kinda my point.

asciilifeform: ( btw there was to be a demo unit of same in the 1st crate, but did not fit masswise )

BingoBoingo: APU can also be kitted to Gutenburg mirror with appropriate drives and ECC RAM

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: iirc no ecc on either

asciilifeform: ( i'd pay in gold for small box with ecc, dun exist afaik )

asciilifeform: it remains a serious wtf to me : think, bolix had ecc.

asciilifeform: in 1984.

BingoBoingo: Ah, apu2 is ECC ram, but newer stinkier AMD "Jaguar"

asciilifeform: we won't be using apu2 at piz

asciilifeform: it is infested

BingoBoingo: bobcat's plenty fast

asciilifeform: ( not unless somebody pays to colo one, at any rate )

asciilifeform: see, asciilifeform has an actual blobless bios for apu1.

BingoBoingo: Ain't nobody doing blobless for "Jaguar"

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-18#1897935 << to allow for power and sufficient thermal , 4 per 1u. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-02-18 23:15 BingoBoingo: 6 or 8 to the 1U chasis?

BingoBoingo: But Bobcat like the apu1 has is sitting on my desk

asciilifeform: ( it may be possible to pack'em tighter, but currently imho reliability trumps max utilization of cubic metrage )

BingoBoingo: Has only gotten faster since I first put it on the desk in 2010 or 2011

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: apu1 will be exactly same as when i 1st laid hands on it in '14

asciilifeform: afaik they haven't changed the chipset.

asciilifeform: that's half the appeal, all of my recipe for it still worx.

asciilifeform: trb-capable box, btw, i have one going .

asciilifeform: http://bvt-trace.net/2019/02/gnat-zero-cost-exceptions-and-asynchronous-task-aborting-part-3/#selection-49.0-58.0 << pretty great.

asciilifeform indeed expected that it's 100% gcc5ism

asciilifeform: in entirely other noose, the xray worx...

mircea_popescu: cool deal.\]

asciilifeform: 1st photo subj is those dead samsung ssd stix BingoBoingo sent in.

asciilifeform will post a scan once he gets a decent exposure, this may not be today, aint a priority item

asciilifeform: will also be interesting at some pt to roast a ~working~ ssd; in theory soft xray eats ssd

asciilifeform: nobody seems to publish the test data on subj tho, aside from 'golden toilet' ic houses

asciilifeform: re ^ -- the steel shell is a bitch, will need tuning for kv. but for demo purposes, the FG analogue board photo ~did~ come out pretty well, will scan it when it dries.

a111: Logged on 2019-02-14 07:45 mircea_popescu: trinque let me know how close i got.

BingoBoingo: In other news, taking my walk tonight I got the celebrity treatment for ~3 minutes. A group of local youth in the city for back to school asked me for directions and were thrilled to discover in Gringo in the wild who could indeed offer directions.

BingoBoingo: I did not join the group as it was composed of 4 dorks and 5 morbidly obese fem-presenting mayos.

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-17#1897703 << nope, emacs patches exist, I've run ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-02-17 16:09 asciilifeform: for instance, emacs has yet to be cured, as i understand

asciilifeform: trinque: oh hey

asciilifeform: are these posted ?

BingoBoingo: Also tonight I saw the good bum mentioned http://bingology.net/2018/12/24/preparations-for-the-second-navidad-in-uruguay/#footnote_1_2160 ☟︎

BingoBoingo: It has been a while. Turns out he got a job of sorts at a Confiteria. Sleeps in an actual bed most nights now. ☟︎

trinque: asciilifeform: iirc last thing I built was in portage proper, built atop musl. this was probably a late and fungal version number

trinque: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/musl.git/log/app-editors/emacs?qt=grep&q=emacs << looks like youngest they had was 24.5, have sinced removed patches from the overlay claiming mainline works

mircea_popescu: trinque wb!

trinque: howdy mircea_popescu

ave1: asciilifeform, re http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-18#1897899, a genesis of the build scripts or gcc?, with the build scripts we'll get diffs of diffs (which should work now) ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-02-18 17:43 asciilifeform: ave1 are you gonna bake one ? someone's gotta, and i will with own hands if no one has it

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nice! pic is quite crisp huh. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: Downright pornographic. All it's missing is the shaved snatch!

BingoBoingo: But A++ Penetration

ave1: diana_coman: re, http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-18#1897863, will do, It's about 100mb total I see. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-02-18 08:56 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-18#1897858 -> ah, so broken links were only in the older versions? anyway: ave1 please do me a favour and point any fetch/download scripts to a mirror of the stuff on your own website, there is no way around this. For one thing I'd much rather download from a republican site and for the other as experience has already amply shown, any external site WILL move them, change them, drop them and it will at best br

ave1: Btw asciilifeform, I had to switch my cheap NFS account to a more expensive one as php 5.6 is no longer supported in their new setup. I expect that sometime, at the end of this year, 5.6 will also disappear from "production" sites.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-19#1898025 << actually pretty grainy ( the barbaric film is to blame ) but in the full res jpg can still see e.g. the au whiskers connecting ic pins to dies etc ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-02-19 04:56 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nice! pic is quite crisp huh.

asciilifeform: that was btw a 35mm film. instrument can eat 35x35 ~cm~, for ~100x magnification.. ( i just dun have any on hand atm )

mircea_popescu: ave1 why not just pizarro ?

BingoBoingo: ^ Bed time

mircea_popescu: the mister god point is pretty fucking lulzy, not to mention accurate.

BingoBoingo: Ah, ty fixed the double You in that footnote

asciilifeform updated testfire piece ( die shot detail )

asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/misc/xray/dead_samsung_35kv_100s.jpg << to complete yest. thrd : the least rubbishy shot of the dead samsung. steel shell prolly calls for a scintillator screen , and large film, to actually get decent shot. but even here usbistic contacts sorta visible.

asciilifeform: incidentally, asciilifeform was thinking, glitter + epoxy + xray == pretty good '3d' seal.

BingoBoingo: That it could

asciilifeform: the obv problem is that you need 70kg of deathray to verify the seal

asciilifeform: ( plus dose the poor silicon erry time )

asciilifeform: you'd want pb foil over the packages, ideally

BingoBoingo: Well, it isn't unthinkable that 70 kg of deathray ends up being a fairly common castle ammenity

asciilifeform: fuhrerbunker , we know had one ( fella was obsessed with 'what if mailbomb' etc )

asciilifeform: 1 slightly moar practical variant of this seal would be if could make the 'glitter' in the epoxy from kcl or other commonplace mild radioactive. then tape instant film over the chassis and develop/swap erry coupla months, and compare the liquishit to previous photo.

asciilifeform considered this yrs ago as a possible onetimepad scheme , but not satisfied that it could be repeatable enuff for digitize

asciilifeform: recall, thrd where 'is it possible to make a bag of rngola that 1) exists in 2 copies 2) cannot be quickly read in transit to destination'

BingoBoingo: Meanwhile, in the "Your average guy" files: http://archive.is/loUn7

asciilifeform: ugh

asciilifeform prefers the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-12#1895439 site, at least was sorta entertaining ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-02-12 15:39 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i associate shitoverflow with articles like 'how do i cast 'fireball' in real life?' ( actual find )

asciilifeform: ^ for bonus lulz, it wasn't the 'iso std d&d fireball' but the http://trilema.com/2014/the-all-american-asshole-in-his-own-words-with-my-own-notes/#selection-1021.79-1025.1 thing, from what i gather was a 'mortal combat' clone of some type

bvt: trinque: booted just fine after messing with kernel config a bit, which is expected from a previously not used machine

mircea_popescu: it's better to document the messing than not to.
