| asciilifeform: | i certainly can't bring myself to use the konsoomer crapola, when making a replacement that lasts ~forever and requires 0 nursing, is hardly even day's work | [12:29] |

| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform whatr do you use, actual comps ? or rasperry lulz ? | [12:30] |
| asciilifeform: | typically neither: | [12:31] |
| asciilifeform: | this one, for example, is a defanged (refirmwared) 'edgerouter' | [12:31] |
| asciilifeform: | 64bit mips thing, there was a thread | [12:31] |
| asciilifeform: | another pretty good one is that very same pcengines box, from ~that~ thread | [12:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | ah. i guess, if you keep lists of which ones aren't too stupid byu nature | [12:32] |
| asciilifeform: | just about anything with a few GB nic ports, fanless cpu, and some place to stick netbsd etc, worx | [12:32] |
| asciilifeform: | also helps if it has a serial port ( mine do ) | [12:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | with the downside that you're now stuck maintaining netbsd. | [12:33] |
| asciilifeform: | maintaining?! | [12:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | well ? | [12:33] |
| asciilifeform: | you stick it on and weld it shut | [12:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | need i quote at you ? | [12:33] |
| * trinque | doesn't have GB internet connection, so old G4 + openbsd works great | [12:33] |

| a111: | Logged on 2017-09-26 15:45 asciilifeform: in other lulzies, https://archive.is/roEgM >> privesc 0day : '...all versions of CentOS 7 before 1708 (released on September 13, 2017), all versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 before 7.4 (released on August 1, 2017), and all versions of CentOS 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 are exploitable' << Aaaaaaand as usual linus sat on the goods since april, because 'responsible' | [12:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque except you gotta maintain openbsd now. | [12:34] |
| asciilifeform: | why would a router care re privesc | [12:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform why would the next one be re privesc. | [12:34] |
| trinque: | I dunno what maintain means here | [12:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | that at any future point you must be able to produce a package you're willing to label "openbsd" | [12:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | as opposed to, say randomly, "a piece of junk" | [12:35] |
| trinque: | sure, that much is true. | [12:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | well that much is also the entirety of the problem. | [12:35] |
| asciilifeform: | router is a pretty simple item, incidentally, and a good first candidate for proper total deunixation | [12:35] |
| trinque: | I'm still of the mind that I'd rather eat openbsd than linux | [12:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform that is true. | [12:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque yeah, but i was just making the point for his benefit that his elaborately crafted turd is not so much better than the 40 bux consumer turd. | [12:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | "oh, i never eat at mcdonalds, i always cook all my meals at home out of cheese squares and hormel pork sausage" | [12:36] |
| asciilifeform: | eats packet (on either end), looks at a few fields, either accepts (then rewrites a few fields and shits out of other arse) or rejects (drops on floor) | [12:36] |
| asciilifeform: | so on ad infinitum | [12:36] |
| trinque: | hm yeah, no point of honor in it | [12:36] |
| asciilifeform: | there's no particular reason why a router oughta contain a few 100MB of unixlike, rather than, say, a few kB of fpga config. | [12:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | very true. | [12:39] |
| * asciilifeform | wonders whether anybody would actually buy a generic fpgatronic packet eater-shitter | [12:39] |
| * trinque | raises hand | [12:39] |
| mod6: | ya | [12:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | if it can be delivered a la FG, and it doesn't cost MUCH more than the current shits, defo. | [12:39] |
| asciilifeform: | would prolly cost roughly what you'd expect it to if you napkin calc. | [12:40] |
| asciilifeform: | ( hundy or so, in small qty , by my reckoning ) | [12:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | not bad. current ones are what, fiddybux. | [12:40] |
| asciilifeform: | 'edge' was a hundy, but it had nice steel chassis, etc. ( and also i suspect sold at a loss, stock firmware was brazenly nsaware ) | [12:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | ah, if nice chassis and stuff like that, total steal. | [12:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | actually... pogos ? | [12:42] |
| asciilifeform: | pogo's only got 1 nic | [12:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | ah right. | [12:42] |
| trinque: | that pcengines guy's a great one, 3 nics. | [12:43] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: aha, worx great | [12:43] |
| trinque: | sad thing that they lost the debug port | [12:43] |
| asciilifeform: | that's typically what they're used for | [12:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | does 3 nics mean you could plug it into two internets and have it splice ? | [12:43] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: theoretically they still have the port, it just dun work without amd magic key | [12:43] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: it means exactly what your own handmade box with 3 nics means -- can splice, balance, whichever | [12:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | well, i would defo buy a bunch of these if properly set up so they can be ip x in wan1 and ip y in wan2 and then establish sessions through the least decongested one at all times. | [12:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | so different pages in kitten's self-same browser think they're different ips. | [12:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | least congested* | [12:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | in fact, i'd even declare it an absolutely required bit of republican computing, as such. because it does make a first step towards the specifically stated uci goal, "location ambiguity" | [12:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | shit's in gossipd design papers too, and really everywhere. | [12:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform can they hang like 8 lan ports off the 2nd nic ? and can they not have fucking wireless, too ? DUN DUN DUN, perfect final hop router. | [12:48] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: 'edge' has 1 usb hole , and it is inside, holds the flash stick it runs of. so not really a place to put wireless. 'pcengines' has 2 usb holes and 3 internal pci-e, plus antenna hole predrilled, so theoretically yes | [12:49] |
| * asciilifeform | typically has separate boxes for 80211, in places where he has the latter | [12:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | fuck the fucking wireless. | [12:50] |
| asciilifeform: | possibly i misread q | [12:50] |
| asciilifeform: | as 'can it have wireless' | [12:50] |
| asciilifeform: | but no, neither comes with wireless nic, wtf | [12:51] |
| asciilifeform: | who the fuck would put wireless nic in a final hop router, lol | [12:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'd buy shit without wireless in preference of shit with, even if same exact shit. | [12:52] |
| mircea_popescu: | the only fucking reason wireless exists is the dumbass "smartphones". fucking civilisation enders. | [12:52] |
| asciilifeform: | then good noose -- both of the example boxes, contain strictly classic nics | [12:53] |
| mod6: | sweet | [12:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | hm | [12:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | weird 7second+ lag shit. | [12:59] |

| mircea_popescu: | for the thing they kept spamming. | [12:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | apparently my boxes aren't needed, but hell yea roger ver's "money" that doesn't exist is more than welcome. and plox moar yubikey and canonical and if it's not fucking plain yet... | [13:00] |

| fromphuctor: | i wanted to read about the relationship between math and programming languages | [15:34] |
| asciilifeform: | more specifically ? | [15:35] |
| fromphuctor: | basically the question is what is the relationship between math and programming languages | [15:35] |
| fromphuctor: | do you know authors that describe that in any way ? | [15:36] |
| asciilifeform: | a. turing & a. church | [15:36] |
| asciilifeform: | and ~all of the mathematical work was done long before there existed such a thing as a programmable comp | [15:37] |
| fromphuctor: | that is why i find it is worth investigating | [15:38] |
| asciilifeform: | if you want a kindergarten b00k in english, try feynman's 'lectures on computation' | [15:38] |
| fromphuctor: | i would have thought maybe russian authors would be more suited | [15:39] |
| asciilifeform: | the way you phrased the question suggests that your road to grasping the answer, is long | [15:39] |
| fromphuctor: | yes | [15:39] |

| BingoBoingo: | <mircea_popescu> a restatement of the old adage, "the problem with socialism is that idiots are always cocksure everyone else, full of doubts" << But how else would Taq1A be so successful if women didn't like making baby with drunks? | [19:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | BingoBoingo i have nfi. | [19:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's a legitimate open question in ev biology. | [19:54] |
| asciilifeform: | fermentation in unrefrigerated world aint optional | [19:54] |
| asciilifeform: | so imho no puzzler there | [19:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform note that it is almost a tracer for "eastern european plains" genotypes. whereas azn ppls had alcohol for thousand+ years longer. | [19:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | (see also eg https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3657369/ ) | [19:56] |
| asciilifeform: | this ^ is first time i see 'chinese' and 'depressive disorder' in same sentence | [19:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | heh | [19:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | i will point it out that prior to say 1500, people didn't see "sioux" and "drunkedness" in same sentence either. | [19:58] |
| asciilifeform: | what's next, dystrophic americans..? | [19:58] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Taq1A is on of the few genetic markers with STRONG behavioral predictive relation | [19:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | relatively strong. | [19:59] |
| * BingoBoingo | did swab thing back in pre-Republican before time when more bold than paranoid, supposedly has polyorphism. Responded with "Fuck you genes, I do what I want" ran until | [20:01] |
| BingoBoingo: | !~step1 | [20:01] |
| jhvh1: | 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable. | [20:01] |
| mircea_popescu: | heh | [20:01] |
| * BingoBoingo | was trying to see what percent victim I was | [20:02] |
| BingoBoingo: | But that was when still on campus and suffering reality distortion bubble maintained there | [20:03] |
| asciilifeform: | if usg wants asciilifeform's genomic samples, whether for phrenological nonsense or to plant on the deathray trigger that killed jfk or whichever, they can bloody well come and collect at own expense. i ain't sending any. | [20:05] |
| BingoBoingo: | This was an earlier more innocent time. Bitcoin was trading in the single digits after coming down from an all time high | [20:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | this lulzy property of bitcoin. "all time high" moar like "old time high" | [20:06] |
| asciilifeform: | btw mircea_popescu recall how at one time every facility with a newfangled xerox machine, had an особист watchin' over it ? | [20:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | hey, large lulz in ro about you recall, "registering" typewritters. | [20:08] |
| asciilifeform: | the obvious parallel with kanzure and dna sequencers/synths | [20:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | psh. that guy didn't go around trying to get upvotes for the Minitruth facebook page. | [20:08] |
| asciilifeform: | nah but he makes sure to be present for every 'amateur bio' konference whichever, and rats | [20:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | "citizen! retween khannikov! it is your patriotic duty!" | [20:09] |
| asciilifeform: | the typewriter thing lives on, as the famous yellow dots. | [20:13] |
| mircea_popescu: | technologee amirite. | [20:13] |
| asciilifeform: | ( btw i've yet to see a firmware defanger published for any brand of colortreekiller, to date. ) | [20:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | not even defanger, a randomizer. | [20:14] |
| asciilifeform: | prolly on account of nobody giving half a shit re traceability of lolcat hardcopy | [20:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | i took girls to cr natl bank museum today in the numismatic section they had local scrip | [20:15] |
| mircea_popescu: | as used on banana plantations, by the rail yard etc. | [20:15] |
| asciilifeform: | oh hey i recall the ar museum piece | [20:15] |
| mircea_popescu: | all sorts of lulz, pieces of plain paper, bachelite coins, you name it | [20:15] |
| BingoBoingo: | <asciilifeform> the obvious parallel with kanzure and dna sequencers/synths << Except this was back when you had to be Google wife rich to open a DNA startup | [20:15] |
| mircea_popescu: | "you telling me they couldn't falsify these ?!" "who ? a bunch of monkeys being forced to work for the first time in their lineage, at gunpoint ?" | [20:16] |
| mircea_popescu: | you'll be surprised how few nominally white humanrightsourdemocracy items can actually do work. | [20:16] |
| asciilifeform: | auschwitz scrip was pretty spartan also, lol | [20:16] |
| BingoBoingo: | !!Up cazalla | [20:17] |
| deedbot: | cazalla voiced for 30 minutes. | [20:17] |
| asciilifeform: | the strongest fence is always the one in the head | [20:17] |
| asciilifeform: | not in the coin, bill, etc | [20:18] |
| BingoBoingo: | cazalla: Qntra is down until The Republic has one or more ISP providers, latest hoster commited mortal sin of using USG.MS.EmailProvider | [20:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | at least the bribri had the excuse of being born subhuman. | [20:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | reality winner and her wannabe qntra friends constructed her own subhumanity. | [20:18] |
| BingoBoingo: | BRB, sobertime | [20:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | BingoBoingo well, also the ole "we'll need to tap your servers kthx" nonsenser. | [20:19] |
| asciilifeform: | comically hamhanded | [20:19] |
| BingoBoingo: | mircea_popescu: Sure, that too. | [20:19] |
| asciilifeform: | srsly wtf, can't just use the fritz chip like civilized stasi? | [20:20] |
| asciilifeform: | why gotta molest hdd. | [20:20] |
| BingoBoingo: | Outlook.com in 2017 is pretty fucking disqualifying too | [20:20] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform why, because they can't do anything else right, they'll magically manage THAT one ? | [20:20] |
| mircea_popescu: | as buggy as everything else they got. | [20:21] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: the shameful piece is that it's a forced mistake, anyone still using email-with-civilians is stuck in the google-microshit corral nao | [20:21] |
| asciilifeform: | alternative is random message loss | [20:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | i didn't forbid them from growing a wot presence. | [20:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | it'd have proven more lucrative than the outlook bs. | [20:21] |
| asciilifeform: | wot presence while stealing disks would be even more brazen, neh | [20:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | also wouldn't last. | [20:23] |
| asciilifeform: | the real q is what forced to steal disks etc | [20:24] |
| asciilifeform: | '... or have problems' ? | [20:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | "what forced the idiot to do something stupid" orly ? | [20:25] |
| asciilifeform: | ordinary idiocy obeys leastactionprinciple | [20:25] |
| asciilifeform: | like light paths | [20:25] |
| cazalla: | BingoBoingo, ah okay :\ dailystormer just got shoah'd again, this time from .is extension heh | [20:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | not tru. it is merely NORMALLY DISTRIBUTED around path of least resistance | [20:25] |
| asciilifeform: | what's .is ? isis?! | [20:25] |
| cazalla: | iceland but same thing | [20:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | island. | [20:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | iceland, right. | [20:26] |
| asciilifeform: | lol still feeding dns beast | [20:26] |
| cazalla: | it was claimed that for them to steal the .is domain, it'd have to go to parliment or some shit but they just skipped that and nuked it anyway heh | [20:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform they've fixated on this "swedish system". somehow they believe the eskimo are not shit. | [20:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | nfi why. | [20:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | socialists tend to worship the north apparently. | [20:27] |
| cazalla: | shame about qntra, off to eat my steak now, hope you're all doing well | [20:28] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: as i see it, the dersturmer+dns folx are fixated on 'pushing', i.e. 'if i use raw ip, how will audience who sits with open mouths waiting for rain, know where the replacement box lives if isp evicts' | [20:31] |
| asciilifeform: | by all rights they oughta be using shortwave, not www | [20:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | hence why they are called socialists just as much so as their brethren pushing ourdemocracy. | [20:31] |
| asciilifeform: | ( why are there not digital shortwave crackpot stations | [20:32] |
| asciilifeform: | .?) | [20:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | and it's evident they both work for hitler, by all sorts of signs. remember the straggler chick that ended up in here, and found out by accident about how yiuy know, there are alternatives ? | [20:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | where is she now ? | [20:32] |
| asciilifeform: | i expect somewhere with open mouth, towards sky | [20:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | oh, mr. brian brainwashed her back into the inzone ? | [20:32] |
| asciilifeform: | didn't, iirc, show any signs of cure | [20:33] |
| asciilifeform: | to begin with | [20:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | my memory is that the summation read "o wow, you guys rock, i am very influential in my own tribe will redirect leadership tomorrow" | [20:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | turns out -- not influential. why not ? | [20:33] |
| asciilifeform: | i can picture: | [20:33] |
| asciilifeform: | leadership: 'stfu, we'll use signal, in iseland' | [20:34] |
| asciilifeform: | over tor tails | [20:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | i can picture too. that tribe, like the yarvin tribe, like the yukowsky tribe, like all the "alt" bullshits, exactly like "debian was an early apple appstore" and so on. | [20:34] |
| asciilifeform: | paid in zonero | [20:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | they have a consensus alright. | [20:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | "freedom of choice" aka "we will either choose coca cola" | [20:35] |
| asciilifeform: | choose! zerocoin or zcash or ethertardium!1! | [20:37] |
| asciilifeform: | classic or unlimited. | [20:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | the principle is evident in their tracts, too. "a guide so that ~anyone~ meet girls. you're not fundamentally broken, you just miss this software". right ? the important part of socialism, preserved. or you know, "racism" but never in the sense of "you joe are no good, go away", always in th4e sense of "we are so dedicated to collectiove salvation, we want to sacrifice a soandso identified auslander collective" | [20:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's entirely no difference between bush's "no kid left behind" and usgistani "fascist's" no derp left behind. | [20:39] |
| asciilifeform: | original fascists also had to make use of marginals | [20:39] |
| asciilifeform: | how else | [20:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | there are no marginals. this is the important point. | [20:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | genuine fascists shot the fucking infirm. | [20:40] |
| asciilifeform: | d00dz who fell through the floor of their civ for whatever reason | [20:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | these schmucks are not in any sense that they wish to "everyone", and wish it so deeply they are willing to take some COLLECTIVE limits, is all. | [20:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | in a sense, the "fascists" are more progressive than the "progressive" | [20:40] |
| asciilifeform: | all 'mass movement' types fit this pattern | [20:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | perhaps. | [20:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | depends how you define "mass movement", if you define by the pattern then definitely. | [20:42] |
| asciilifeform: | you can't filter signal if all you got is noise | [20:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | would you call the push west a mass movement ? | [20:42] |
| asciilifeform: | exclusivity applied to homo redditus gives the null set. | [20:43] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: was speaking of 'movement' in the pol.agitation sense, rather than 'there's gold in them hills' | [20:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | then of course it meets the pattern, you defined it on its basis. | [20:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, plenty of lulz to be had with the idiots. ask usgistani "extreme right" socialist flavour whether he'd shoot quadriplegic comatose septuagenarian white guy to save life of pregnant woman, race of father unknown. | [20:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | unlike the run of the mill pantsuit, they usually don't have the canned "we don't shoot anyone" cop out | [20:45] |
| asciilifeform: | can also ask the sacramental 'вилку в глаз , или в жопу раз ?' | [20:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | (gentle reminder : the odds of father being same race as mother is a hefty 99.5% today about same as it was in times and places where it was actually illegal.) | [20:46] |
| asciilifeform: | ( which is what the 'whom to kill' rebuses always remind me of ) | [20:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform they somehow got accepted by "scientific" efforts in ethics etc at harvard and so. | [20:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | don't ask me wtf sense they're supposed to make, i dun see it. | [20:47] |
| asciilifeform: | same folx who gave us 'philosophical zombie' etc | [20:47] |
| asciilifeform: | qualia! tulpas!! | [20:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | in other almost lulz https://warosu.org/biz/thread/3659322#p3659725 | [20:49] |
| asciilifeform: | dafuq's that | [20:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | apparently there was an announced pump of the bch scamcoin | [20:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | which fizzled. | [20:51] |
| asciilifeform: | https://i.warosu.org/data/biz/img/0036/59/1506689270035.jpg << via subj. win. | [20:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | lol | [20:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, numerically, mit&co burned some money to try and make the dead cat bounce towards .11, failed miserably within an hour, .1 looking doubtful. | [20:54] |
| asciilifeform: | also wtf is an 'announced pump' if not redditusbait put out pre dump. | [20:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | for instance, a "conference" an "Agreement", other consensuses. the so and so protocol. you name it. | [20:55] |
| asciilifeform: | https://pastebin.com/2nEbui0K << from subj also, a lulzy 'Русс Здавайсс' | [20:56] |
| asciilifeform: | ( is there a name for these in engl?? ) | [20:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | i always like people who can't distinguish its value from it's time to suck my cock. | [20:56] |

| asciilifeform: | once even saw barrel pink ( how ? and does it crack and flake when fired? i've nfi ) | [21:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | pretty sure you can chrome them in colors. | [21:01] |
| asciilifeform: | dun think you can anodize to pink | [21:01] |
| mircea_popescu: | why not ? | [21:01] |
| asciilifeform: | at any rate it looked matte / painted | [21:01] |
| mircea_popescu: | lol. what'd you like the barrel to be ? rifled OR PAINTED ? | [21:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | "can you paint the rifling on ?" | [21:02] |
| asciilifeform: | hey it isn't so much moar idiotic than the ubiquitous, in monkeystans, gilded kalash | [21:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | "our quantum computer-based holographic imaging dept is working on a paint-on rifling solution sir!" | [21:02] |
| asciilifeform: | or for that matter sultan's yatagan with kg of j00lz | [21:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | those items were ceremonial. you've seen the sword of king who actually used it, | [21:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | iirc i linked pic. | [21:03] |
| asciilifeform: | aha and i'm sure chapo had also normal kalash | [21:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | well not in 1500 | [21:04] |

| asciilifeform: | you wouldn't do that to a rifle you actually expected to use as-designed tho. | [21:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | contrary to usg media depictions, women that can fire infantry weapons are not usually women you'd like to fuck. | [21:06] |
