| Mocky: | http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-18-oct-2018#2487649 >> no wires in sight anywhere in Doha | [03:59] |
| a111: | Logged on 2018-10-19 02:17 BingoBoingo: I have to say from Mocky's pics of Qatar so far I am impressed by the manner in which they manage to hide the electric wires. Down here they just... can't | [03:59] |
| Mocky: | and no houses. commercial buildings and villas. every villa at least 3 stories, flat top, fully wrapped in concrete wall at least 8 feet high, with iron gate for car and iron door | [04:19] |
| Mocky: | 8 foot walls for the cheap housing 20 foot for expensive. From what i can tell ~nobody lives outside of such 'fortress' | [04:21] |
| Mocky: | except for skyscrapers and 'artistic buildings' everything is cinder block or brick fully covered in concrete facing. | [04:23] |
| Mocky: | in the 'burbs there are sort of ticky tack housing communities where a couple dozen villas will share one big wall, with guard on duty at the gate. | [04:25] |
| Mocky: | one result is that there isn't a single unsightly yard anywhere, from external pov. from inside pov, it seems like most have a junk pile their back 'yard' | [04:29] |
| Mocky: | not really right to call it 'burbs, it's still in the city just not downtown. Villa is also often commercially, dr office, restaurant, shops: just with extra windows and signage | [04:33] |
| Mocky: | if they built like this in florida, hurricane season would be quite different. but then yeah hardly anyone would be able to afford to live there. | [04:43] |
| diana_coman: | are all houses at the edge of the city or where? not that I'm even sure I see a difference if ~all desert anyway | [04:52] |
| diana_coman: | how's the "qatar week 2" coming along, Mocky ? | [04:53] |
| Mocky: | the downtown area wraps the bay and is maybe 10 blocks deep. I guess you could call this 'a ring'. the rest of the city is basically concentric circles of rings b - f (actual street names) between which are neighborhoods of predominantly residential villas but with huge retail areas interspersed. | [05:09] |
| Mocky: | for example, there are 12 malls in Doha. if you stood on top of one, could see others. | [05:10] |
| Mocky: | so not at the edge of the city only, but almost everywhere | [05:11] |
| diana_coman: | ah, makes some sense though I gather it's basically living among the malls and sand but I suppose that's what it is | [05:24] |
| Mocky: | actually the only sand is at construction sites. of which there are many. in the city that is. nicely paved streets with nice looking brick sidewalks ~everywhere | [05:25] |
| Mocky: | some massive constructions sites with thousands of laborers | [05:26] |
| diana_coman: | well yes, but that's basically adding concrete/brick to the mix soil is still what it is | [05:26] |
| Mocky: | week two has been wheel spinning so far like most of week 1. I've had in person conversations with 30+ people in the last week about business and finding a local business sponsor. None of these people are locals, none of them knows a local in business, or even an expat in business, or had any idea what they would do if needed to find. | [05:26] |
| diana_coman: | are they all employed there? or tourists or what? | [05:27] |
| Mocky: | the class system is strong, i've met only bottom 3 classes: guilded cage workers | [05:27] |
| diana_coman: | aha, not very surprising | [05:27] |
| Mocky: | but Qataris don't mix with the help, except the partying 20 somethings that don't want to work (reportedly) and they don't seem to be in their parents wot | [05:29] |
| Mocky: | well not so 'guilded' for the bottom two classes, but at least they can leave now if they want | [05:30] |
| diana_coman: | I must say I don't really have any concrete idea unfortunately re how to go about to find an entrance to qatari wot | [05:31] |
| Mocky: | i went to both coworks. well, "coworks" one is 15th floor of a bank highrise that was empty and expensive. the other is trying to be a startup incubator run by the ministry of communications | [05:33] |
| diana_coman: | oh huh, and no work at the startup incubator? | [05:33] |
| Mocky: | but there's exactly no one here who would use a coworks. you either came here for a job, or your dad can get you a job | [05:33] |
| Mocky: | so the startup incubator is not at all like what i expected | [05:34] |
| diana_coman: | I'd naively expect there would be at least some sort of link possible at the incubator no events either? | [05:34] |
| Mocky: | no they have events and even people there, but i can't get in, lol | [05:35] |
| Mocky: | you have to get approved, but there's no one actually at the place to approve you, only desk minders. and if approved you have to join the sv track | [05:36] |
| Mocky: | ie year one do this, year 2 do this... | [05:36] |
| diana_coman: | hm, but no way to even attend one of the events i.e. as visitor? | [05:36] |
| Mocky: | the events are: make your slide deck, public speaking workshops, have an app... | [05:37] |
| diana_coman: | the point being to my mind to perhaps meet *there* some people worth meeting, not as much joining the track per se | [05:37] |
| diana_coman: | and at those workshops the audience is only incubator-fellows or what? | [05:37] |
| Mocky: | they did have an event the day i arrived, but i missed it. no more events on the near calendar | [05:37] |
| diana_coman: | ah, pitty well, hopefully they have more than 1 / year, lol | [05:38] |
| diana_coman: | failing that, I guess 20 somethings partying at least have a local father, for whatever good that might be | [05:38] |
| Mocky: | no sure who shows up, probably mandatory for those in-program | [05:39] |
| Mocky: | i'm about to implement plan b, and talk to the local companies that advertise to help you get your business started and help find you a sponsor | [05:39] |
| diana_coman: | my limited experience with a business incubator in south tyrol was that there were also people from local businesses + local government, but I have no idea to what extent this experience means anything for qatar-incubator | [05:40] |
| diana_coman: | that sounds worth a shot too, certainly | [05:41] |
| Mocky: | one of them claims on their website that certain IT and consulting busniesses don't require a local sponsor. if they actually have experience with these things I expect it to be helpful | [05:42] |
| Mocky: | not sure yet what the cost, or thier criteria | [05:42] |
| diana_coman: | worth finding out at least | [05:45] |
| Mocky: | yup | [05:47] |
| Mocky: | ftr: the bottom class is outside laborers, housed in barracks, transported by busses | [05:48] |
| diana_coman: | sounds pretty much like usual "cattle-class" | [05:49] |
| Mocky: | next to bottom class is cheap workers who aren't permitted to get a drivers license: http://archive.is/Cg7uU | [05:49] |
| Mocky: | but also drivers are in that class, lol | [05:49] |
| diana_coman: | wait what, drivers aren't permitted to get a drivers' license? | [05:50] |
| Mocky: | haha no, they can get license but not escape their 'station' | [05:50] |
| Mocky: | this class works 12 hour days, or shift work and still has no money left over to actually do anything in thier free time | [05:51] |
| diana_coman: | sounds like ol' world drivers/gardeners/maids/cooks/servants in general, no? | [05:51] |
| Mocky: | yup | [05:51] |
| Mocky: | but also includes memebers of the next class up who are of the wrong race | [05:52] |
| diana_coman: | ah well, if not a camel, then can't camel I suppose | [05:52] |
| Mocky: | engineers, techies, skilled jobs who are indian, malay etc. | [05:53] |
| Mocky: | but the upper class of foreign workers has a better deal than they'd get back home. comparable pay, dozen weeks of holiday per year, no taxes, housing provided | [05:55] |
| Mocky: | allowed to drive | [05:55] |
| Mocky: | actually i'm pretty sure everyone is getting a better deal than back home come to think of it | [05:56] |
| diana_coman: | they wouldn't go there otherwise, would they | [05:56] |
| Mocky: | zackly | [05:56] |
| diana_coman: | at the end of the day it's not exactly qatar's fault that it's so shitty at home for those people that they'd rather eat the sand there | [05:57] |
| Mocky: | can't build a pittsburg out of the sand in 35 years without grunts | [05:59] |
| Mocky: | well i guess more like DC or SF but with ~twice the popluation | [06:16] |
| asciilifeform: | http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1863957 << were you able to discover against whom these were built? generally folx dun build castles when no enemy.. | [09:25] |
| a111: | Logged on 2018-10-19 08:21 Mocky: 8 foot walls for the cheap housing 20 foot for expensive. From what i can tell ~nobody lives outside of such 'fortress' | [09:25] |
| deedbot: | http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/07c-kronstadt.html << The Tar Pit - Kronstadt, et alia | [09:26] |
| Mocky: | no, but I mean to ask. 100% ubiquitous here | [09:26] |
| diana_coman: | http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1864022 -> uhm, I don't think this is true | [09:30] |
| a111: | Logged on 2018-10-19 13:25 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1863957 << were you able to discover against whom these were built? generally folx dun build castles when no enemy.. | [09:30] |
| diana_coman: | or rather: enemy can be defined very loosely (sand! strangers' eyes!) | [09:31] |
| asciilifeform: | diana_coman: the american folx indeed define loosely they build wooden fence tho, not ferrocement | [09:34] |
| asciilifeform: | the latter, to me suggests a present enemy | [09:35] |
| Mocky: | one thing i can say is that in the past there were guards hired at many villas to monitor the comings and goings. lover cannot be snuck into parents house easily, and expats had same problem here. "cannot bring girlfriend over... guard" | [09:37] |
| Mocky: | it's not so anymore. now it's more "don't ask dont' tell", though unwed sex is still illegal, and some "family" oriented hotels here will ask for marriage cert | [09:37] |
| Mocky: | evidently they no longer care unless you force them to care. like having a domestic dispute where police are called while living together unwed | [09:39] |
| Mocky: | then ... "trouble" | [09:40] |
| Mocky: | also there's the angle of "good fences make good neighbors". but I'll ask | [09:41] |
| diana_coman: | makes some sense: if you want our help than stick to our rules if you follow your rules than wtf you want from us | [09:41] |
| diana_coman: | iirc thick walls also -> cooler though this might make more sense for building rather than garden | [09:43] |
| asciilifeform: | Mocky: from your earlier description , sounds like there are no 'lumpens' in qatar ? ( if so, this is pretty neat ) | [09:46] |
| Mocky: | idle layabouts? | [09:47] |
| asciilifeform: | well not just any idlers, but folx not fitting into the structure. bums, pickpockets, the typical bipedal ferals of 'civilization' | [09:48] |
| asciilifeform: | ( while on subj, what's the punishment system like ? can attend a good beheading, arm-chopping ? ) | [09:48] |
| Mocky: | quite rigid structure, few if any cracks to fall into. Foreigner is tourist, sponsored worker, or businessman. plenty of idle locals, but idle rich in nature, if not substance | [09:51] |
| Mocky: | flogging is still a thing here | [09:51] |
| asciilifeform: | ha, nice | [09:51] |
| asciilifeform: | ... public ? | [09:51] |
| Mocky: | but not often employed | [09:52] |
| Mocky: | I don't know about public or not. as part of sharia law it applies only to muslims. they have secular law for non muslims. | [09:55] |
| Mocky: | it's still on the books, 40 lashes for sex outside marriage for a muslim. i think they did it as recently as a few years ago | [09:55] |
| Mocky: | for the man only | [09:56] |
| Mocky: | finger / hand / arm chopping ... not a thing anymore here | [09:56] |
| Mocky: | fewer lashes for theft etc. I know the corporal punishment sentences are handed down, but not always implemented. I don't know the ratio of commuting to jail time / deportation | [09:58] |
| Mocky: | gotta pass a medical exam that says if you'd survive. can keep shirt on. reportedly brusing not bleeding | [10:00] |
| asciilifeform: | makes sense tho, if errybody is either a baron or cheapo gastarbeiter , deportation worx | [10:00] |
| asciilifeform: | meanwhile, upstack, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1863739 , http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1863746 >> nao perma-mirrored! >> http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/bolix/amberglint_macsyma_pill.txt , http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/bolix/amberglint_ns_pill.txt | [10:21] |

| BingoBoingo: | In other news: The Peruana, Gloria, has passed her examinations and will be getting licensed in the profession of vaccination. | [11:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1863959 << what you're describing is pretty much where the current world's going. ~same here, ~same in moscow, whatever. | [11:25] |

| mircea_popescu: | it's a sad testament to the age of "enlightment" that we went from 1600s manor house to 1800s brownstone tenement and now to 2000s tallwall. dark ages ftw. | [11:26] |

| Mocky: | pretty much | [11:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | and then when i say there's a lot of supernumerary bodies... | [11:31] |

| BingoBoingo: | Mocky: I take it there is a beach? | [11:34] |
| BingoBoingo: | <Mocky> the downtown area wraps the bay and is maybe 10 blocks deep. I guess you could call this 'a ring'. the rest of the city is basically concentric circles of rings b - f (actual street names) between which are neighborhoods of predominantly residential villas but with huge retail areas interspersed. << The rings sounds rather like 1900's-1950's Montevideo | [11:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | ~same planners im sure. | [11:38] |
| BingoBoingo: | Or same books | [11:39] |
| Mocky: | there are a bunch of beaches. some closes during turtle nesting season. spread around qatar. not sure how many close to Doha, but not like it's a big country | [11:40] |
| BingoBoingo: | But once shopping malls came here, future laying out went less deterministic. Still, very reliable street number system here. | [11:41] |
| Mocky: | the big thing is the party boats in west bay, wooden boats you can seen in like half the public pics of Doha skyline. | [11:41] |
| BingoBoingo: | Mocky: Well, do the locals go there? Take four of the girls you met and lounge around with the for a weekday evening. Good chance that might be how you meet locals. | [11:42] |
| asciilifeform: | http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1864068 << for extra lulz, BingoBoingo : i regged an acct on their www and submitted comment, and (spoiler) 'Submitted and awaiting moderation...' for hrs nao | [11:42] |

| Mocky: | dozens of party boats that head out for afternoon / evening party / swimming in the bay. thumping music in harbor at night | [11:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | Mocky it's possible they may have a prequal system, if not necessarily what BingoBoingo describes. | [11:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | "must be in right time at right place" sorta deal otherwise LOTS of people (and a LOT more than care to admit) spent 60s in california looking for the party. | [11:43] |
| Mocky: | right | [11:44] |
| BingoBoingo: | Anyway, fishing locals by social class is a thing. | [11:45] |
| BingoBoingo: | It seems pretty clear the 20 foot concrete fences are for privacy under the pretext of security | [11:47] |
| Mocky: | if there are local girls who dont' look exactly like this at all times in public, I havent seen: http://www.milenio.com/tendencias/Mujeres-Arabia-Saudita_MILIMA20160119_0193_8.jpg | [11:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | Mocky egypt is same way, except then in private it's topless party w/e. | [11:50] |
| BingoBoingo: | Hence the walls. | [11:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'm exaggerating, but anyways. very huge in/outdoors distinction | [11:50] |
| Mocky: | that seems to be the report from housekeepers. bored qataris with nothing to do but shisha, sex and kfc | [11:51] |
| * mircea_popescu | talking to "party girl" at some point (ukr chick, too) about it : "don't you find it intolerable ?" "well... i think of it as a perpetual costume party in the street." | [11:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | she'd work winters in the (at the time) super-hottest-spot-on-earth, some expensive & pointless UAE resort development. | [11:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1863976 << this is very much the one great gain of multi-female household. you don't have to put the spawn in wot. imo worth weight in gold. | [11:53] |

| mircea_popescu: | much like EVEN NOW the cost of disease still fails to exceed the benefit from sexuate reproduction, i suspect the same applies there : any other drawbacks a social system may have, the fact it dun force you to put woman's children in your wot is still enough to bring it above water. | [11:54] |
| * mircea_popescu | has exactly 0 intention of entertaining the "but i am your son!" bs in any case. everyone's someone's son, and http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628787 | [11:55] |
| a111: | Logged on 2017-03-17 14:22 asciilifeform: recall the anecdote re w. shockley's 'genius spermbank' calling feynman ? him: 'whatcha bothering ~me~ for, talk to my father' | [11:55] |

Se escapó luego de romper una reja, saltar desde varios metros de altura a un pozo de aire desde una altura de 12 metros, entrar a un depósito en donde encontró el uniforme de policía con el que se vistió para pasar desapercibido, y forzar una puerta...' << lol hollywood escape | [11:57] |
| * asciilifeform | suspects instead orc escape, chum bribed guard , walked through open door | [11:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | who was that guy that had a number of children with the assortment of strippers hired to "guard" him back in the zone ? | [11:59] |

| mircea_popescu: | right. | [11:59] |

| Mocky: | lol yup | [12:01] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: I'll believe the hollywood escape is possible. All most of the kids here eat is hollywood. | [12:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform not necessarily that it happened but you gotta understand the interaction between massively multiplayer ineptitude and internalized castration. prison sits there for years at a stretch without encountering an actual human being, 100% redditards spinning in their own internalized mental narratives, incapable of finding way out of paper bag. slowly decays, under imaginary maintenance, the sort that the aforement | [12:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | ioned tend to apply. "did that fix things ?" "i did what was in the book" "but did it work ?" "what do you want from me! what i do is just a gig! it's not my life!!!". | [12:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | then runs into actual human, suddenly the whole thing's closer to a drawing than anyone realised. | [12:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | or to use yest's terminology, after years of being maintained and populated by intelligent people, carcel central suddenly ran into a smart guy. | [12:08] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: possibly naively, i pictured that the clink is the 1 place that regularly frictions against actual-human folx. but whoknows, after N gens of reddit, this. | [12:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | nope. | [12:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'd say sqft of prison floor is actually slightly more deranged than sqft of starbucks | [12:09] |
| asciilifeform: | maybe moar deranged, but also moar decisive, neh ? | [12:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | this, incidentally, was ~always~ the case. during soviet times, i recall older guy saying to (friend) who worked at jail, "god fucking help you if an actual thief ever ends up in there". | [12:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | "he'll pick a lock and you'll be shot" "oh... i know (". | [12:10] |
| BingoBoingo: | And in still other local news, the Tranny reparations bill passed. Trannys born before 1975 with documentation showing "persecution under the dictatorship" (i.e. commie scum) will be getting 11.000 pesos monthly. The estimates are 150-180 of these tranny reparations will be made, and I am guessing everyone receiving them will be an FA party member. | [12:10] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: capital-B thief ? or lower case | [12:10] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform competency rather than connectivity is discussed. | [12:11] |
| asciilifeform: | aa | [12:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | locks, you knoiw ? what's in a lock | [12:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | especially if elite talent's stuck there boring with it. | [12:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | BingoBoingo so they went to all this trouble to vote themselves a ~1mn annuity ? | [12:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | this FA business is very fucking inept. | [12:12] |
| BingoBoingo: | mircea_popescu: And it is inept in a way that is alienating the labor folk who "support" them | [12:13] |
| mircea_popescu: | ikr ? | [12:13] |

| deedbot: | http://bimbo.club/?p=59 << Bimbo.Club - TMSR Log Summary - 08/25/2018 | [17:05] |
| BingoBoingo: | OMG reading summarizing back in time | [17:27] |
| asciilifeform: | whatever happend to http://summaries.logs.esthlos.com btw | [17:27] |
| asciilifeform: | imho it was great | [17:27] |
| billymg: | trinque: update on progress: after several nights of heavy drinking i managed to also catch a cold. working on mp-wp setup this afternoon (at reduced capacity) and was able to press and get it to http://161.0.121.194 | [17:33] |
| billymg: | i also added the libmcrypt ebuild here http://161.0.121.194/downloads/libmcrypt.ebuild.tar.gz | [17:33] |
| billymg: | which allows for emerging without upgrading portage to the gpg2 requiring version | [17:33] |
| billymg: | just need to extract into /usr/local/portage to use | [17:34] |
| BingoBoingo: | I get a tonsilitis, billymg gets a cold... Under the two times coincidence rule if one more person gets sick this week, gotta call it biowarfare | [17:34] |
| billymg: | lol not just us, others in my meat-wot as well | [17:35] |
| billymg: | with whom i did not come in contact, otherwise would go without saying | [17:35] |
| Mocky: | my tonsils have felt swolen for past 4 hours but im not saying it out loud so it wont be real | [17:40] |
| Mocky: | but i think it's because my AC has been our for 6 hrs, cuz totally | [17:40] |
| BingoBoingo: | The Peruana has the sore throat deal about a month ago, but she sought medical attention as soon as she registered a fever, because nurse has to get that work note to show the hospital | [17:41] |
| Mocky: | and i mean it's cool that 3 dudes will show up to fix your ac at 11pm, back in states it's 9-5 strictly, but man pushing up on 1am and they still working and not seeing signals of competence... | [17:42] |
| BingoBoingo: | Mocky: It could also be that you hit the 2 week mark and the local viruses caught up to your presence | [17:42] |
| Mocky: | i would say that local virii stand no chance against me but that would jinx it | [17:43] |
| BingoBoingo: | And now that Uruguay passed tranny reparations, they can turn to the real scourge: "Gobierno quiere prohibir que se cruce la calle mirando el celular" | [17:49] |
| Mocky: | my AC compressor on the roof had a problem. now these clowns didn't fix it but did manage to break the indoor fan and circuit board as well. and i gotta get up in 6 hours for this meet and greet. gonna be a sweaty night | [18:24] |
| BingoBoingo: | Godspeed Mocky | [18:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | <billymg> trinque: update on progress: after several nights of heavy drinking i managed to also catch a cold. <<< bwahahah ok this was pretty lulzy. | [18:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | "it's cool that 3 dudes will show up to fix your ac at 11pm it's sad that they're not particularily qualified to fix anytrhing, or even be indoors, really..." | [18:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | you know, if they just uber'd ows over to your house, the us could also do 11pm | [18:41] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: i had one of these not long ago ! | [18:51] |
| asciilifeform: | srsly! d00d showed up to fix leaking condensate drain, took 3 (!) trips to... not fix anyffing, ceiling drip, drip | [18:52] |
| asciilifeform: | finally vendor sends an actual tech, who fixes and takes pics, then reveals 'oh him? he was a fraud' | [18:52] |
| asciilifeform: | and come to think of it, tech #1 did look rather like a 'ows' ... | [18:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | heh | [18:53] |
| * BingoBoingo | to celebrate first visual tonsil regression with early beachwalk (They put the lifeguard huts up this week). Brb, voy a ver mis olas. | [18:57] |
| asciilifeform: | ACHTUNG, panzers! zoolag going down for ~30min for test of experimental patch, in ~10m | [20:01] |
| BingoBoingo: | In other grotesque perversions: http://archive.is/et1V4 | [21:17] |
| BingoBoingo: | With a higher body count: http://archive.is/dSzNm | [21:23] |
| asciilifeform: | !Q later tell phf i found today that your keccak-vdiff is unable to eat a 40MB file ( dies politely with stack overflow ) | [21:44] |
| lobbesbot: | asciilifeform: The operation succeeded. | [21:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | this is not good. | [21:45] |
| asciilifeform: | it's a fairly simple fix, as i understand, gotta up the max stack | [21:45] |
| asciilifeform: | but , importantly, will have to arrive at a max, if using stack. | [21:46] |
| asciilifeform: | there is not a magical way out of this on linux, sadly. | [21:46] |
| asciilifeform: | meanwhile: ACHTUNG, PANZERS! >> http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2018-October/000315.html | [21:47] |
| asciilifeform: | ( and yes mod6 it will have to be reground, but it experimental patch, so this is not avoidable at any rate ) | [21:47] |
| asciilifeform: | ( for the impatient : http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/trb/snap_546400.txt ) | [21:48] |
| asciilifeform: | !Q later tell phf plox to snarf http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2018-October/000315.html into 'experiment' tree. | [21:51] |
| lobbesbot: | asciilifeform: The operation succeeded. | [21:51] |
| asciilifeform: | adventurous souls who can spare ~hour of CPU, are invited to shit out own snapshot, and diff w/ above. | [21:53] |
| asciilifeform: | errybody oughta see exactly ~same~ output. | [21:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform should prolly go in the config file o.O | [21:54] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: imho yes | [21:54] |
| asciilifeform: | iirc can even be set machinewide, but i fughet how | [21:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | i guess so. there were some other items scattered about re what should go in the config file for vtron | [21:54] |
| asciilifeform: | there is of course another method, keccak could use my mmap thing | [21:57] |
| asciilifeform: | ( once i finally shit out the cleaned/reground/keccakized genesis thereof, it's near in the conveyor ) | [21:57] |
| asciilifeform: | bonus, will run substantially faster. | [21:57] |
| asciilifeform: | really mmap is the champ for disk i/o on unixlikes. | [21:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | not a bad idea, at that. | [22:04] |
