    BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This was actually asked in February. Right before my logistics fail. And yes he has greasy rat hair.
    
    BingoBoingo: Balked when I did napkin math with him
    
    BingoBoingo suggested he buy a cheap-o refurb tower and then walked him through space power math.
    
    BingoBoingo: Also, the green birds from http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2018/04/25/remedial-skills-camera-walk-rtfm-edition/ La Peruana insists are Loros, but I am calling bullshit on her because Loros talk.

    asciilifeform: i didn't notice any 'proper' parrot in BingoBoingostan. only the little green argentine type.
    
    asciilifeform: afaik those dun talk..
    
    asciilifeform: ( or.. do they?? mircea_popescu knows ? )
    
    BingoBoingo: Those are the little green ones. I am going to see.
    
    mircea_popescu: the green guys are parrots, why not ?
    
    BingoBoingo: Cool, then next week gotta teach them to meme
    
    mircea_popescu: it's not a natural functuionm, you realise, like fucking. gotta spend time to TEACH THEM.
    
    asciilifeform laboured under the notion that parrots in city oughta emit such sounds as motorcycle vroom, horns, etc

    mircea_popescu: o hey, how's the rockchip working for you douchebag ?
    
    douchebag: it's working - still getting used to Gentoo
    
    douchebag: Haven't really worked much with Gentoo so it's a bit of learning
    
    asciilifeform: oh hey
    
    mircea_popescu: cool.
    
    asciilifeform: douchebag: lemme know if you run into problems. also see my www, i posted a recipe for how to make the same box at home, to test on.
    
    mircea_popescu: but why would he lol. box is there to test on already.
    
    asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the most obvious reason would be if he wants to make own linux for it.
    
    asciilifeform: ( this goes for all potential subscribers. )
    
    mircea_popescu: may be a while yet.
    
    douchebag: hey actually

    asciilifeform: we dun have a vps
    
    asciilifeform: and what file

    asciilifeform: douchebag: this was presumably your rockchip login ? if as you said you are 'getting used to gentoo', you already have it ?
    
    asciilifeform: or you lost yer copy, or what
    
    douchebag: oooh nevermid
    
    douchebag: thanks to lobbes bot I found an archive of it
    
    asciilifeform is confused : douchebag only now thought to log in to the box for 1st time ??
    
    douchebag: No
    
    douchebag: with all pgp stuff I decrypt
    
    douchebag: i save it as x.asc
    
    douchebag: and just copy in the new gpg msg
    
    douchebag: and I had overwritten it
    
    douchebag: and thought I lost the gpg message that contained my credentials
    
    douchebag: going to generate an rsa key for logging into it now
    
    asciilifeform: so what was the 'getting used to gentoo' about ?
    
    asciilifeform: got own gentoo box at home ?
    
    douchebag: I've always used Arch and I currently use MacOS as my primary OS
    
    asciilifeform: eh nm
    
    douchebag: What's your main OS?
    
    asciilifeform: gentoo.
    
    douchebag: What are some of the reasons you prefer using it?

    douchebag: lol
    
    douchebag: Yeah, I never really got much into Gentoo because it always takes so damn long to install everything from source
    
    asciilifeform: depends on how much your 'everything' weighs, neh
    
    asciilifeform: for instance, rebuilding world on the rockchip ( a quite modest comp ) takes about a day and a half
    
    asciilifeform: and this incl. ~all~ contents, incl compiler
    
    asciilifeform: how much 'everything' do you actually need.
    
    douchebag: well like for instance
    
    douchebag: I'm installing vim on the rockchip box right now
    
    douchebag: and it's been like 20 minutes
    
    asciilifeform: kill it. and read mod6's experience in #pizarro
    
    asciilifeform: you gotta ban xorg if yer a vim user
    
    asciilifeform: or it will try to build xorg
    
    asciilifeform: which you do NOT want on that box
    
    
    
    
    
    mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-04-22 17:04 asciilifeform: you didn't ban xorg
    
    asciilifeform wonders why this required a screenshit
    
    mircea_popescu: this is going well i see...
    
    asciilifeform: douchebag: ls -ltr /var/log/portage and find the emerge log and you can see what it does.
    
    asciilifeform: ( see the mod6 thread . )
    
    asciilifeform: douchebag: historically i've found that setting up a gentoo box to 'workstation' standard takes 2-3 wks. (depending , though less than you might think, on the speed of the comp.) fortunately 99+% of the work has already been done for you on that box.
    
    mod6: Evenin'
    
    asciilifeform: heya mod6
    
    mod6: How goes today?
    
    asciilifeform: mod6: still recovering from whatever that was i picked up.
    
    mod6: Ugh!  Hopefully you can get some extra rest this weekend then.

    asciilifeform: been a while since i heard of anybody jailed for ~selling~ warez on physical disk tho. i was convinced these died with the '90s
    
    mircea_popescu: eh, they have this whole menagerie of "trutfully relevant and working sir!" patent medicines.
    
    mircea_popescu: "the sting operation". "the proof". the blabla
    
    asciilifeform: dun forget 'the signed confession' (not yet from him, supposedly, but there is always next day)
    
    mircea_popescu: righ right. "the plea bargain".
    
    asciilifeform: how'd it go, confessio est regina probationum (tm)(r)
    
    mircea_popescu: it's reached epileptic trees level of self-referential nonsense by now.
    
    asciilifeform: or prolly better known today in ru, from the mouth of vyshinsky, 'Признание - царица доказательств'
    
    mircea_popescu: and through it all, perhaps the most amusing part, their wholly spurious pretense that ~everyone~ gives a shit ; fly it in the face of plain and ubiquitous evidence that a single soul that does can not be found for love or money.
    
    mircea_popescu: fly it in the face of all evidence all it will ; in the mental patients' inner world, "law enforcement" is as much a thing as any other structured delusion.
    
    asciilifeform: this kinda thing happily carries on right until the moment the plank drops and the noose tightens, at nuremberg
    
    mircea_popescu: if history's any guide.
