ben_vulpes: i mean raingear's a thing
ben_vulpes: i did not envision living in a neighborhood without sidewalks.

ben_vulpes: jus ribbin ya
ben_vulpes: i have a live in chef for food, and my own two hands for servers.
ben_vulpes: rattles water molecules, makes $thing hot
ben_vulpes: i mean yeah, it's a microwave, to continue the cooking metaphor.
ben_vulpes: should you give a shit
ben_vulpes: tools you might consider instead, fail2ban, iptables, apache mod_status
ben_vulpes: looks like you 'just want to' server stats from here.
ben_vulpes: "nah it's fine, i'll just have the shit-cooking kitchen *over there*"
ben_vulpes: idem server purchases.
ben_vulpes: should one care to.
ben_vulpes: os reinstalls are trivial.

ben_vulpes: i recall this, had my own near identical experience lol
ben_vulpes: go, try to remove cpanel from a machine.
ben_vulpes: `http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-20#1506634 << incidentally, renders servers nigh-unusable for other purposes.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: probably has better binding arbitrartion jokes than i in any case
ben_vulpes not involved in any sort of binding arbitration
ben_vulpes: previous line in some other buffer or what?
ben_vulpes: no, weechat
ben_vulpes: did that come from?
ben_vulpes: where
ben_vulpes: binding arbitration
ben_vulpes: lol and even more in teh other logs
ben_vulpes: people will bitch about ths js.
ben_vulpes: i believe that you're familiar with this?
ben_vulpes: when the problem domains are simple, the solution proposed appears to work. in reality, as *tard mgmt demands more features, flexibility, reports, etc, the complexity of maintaining and extending under the frameworkreich becomes more and more costly, a thing not necessarily apparent to anyone who hasn't suffered the saga or who doesn't think in terms of complexity minimization from the get-go.
ben_vulpes: trinque: not triggered, but definitely amused.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: ^^
ben_vulpes: huh. "hoplite brings his own armor" anyways.

ben_vulpes: okay yeah that makes sense.
ben_vulpes smacks self
ben_vulpes: "artisanally hand-carved pcbs!"
ben_vulpes: i still have nfi why you'd design in any way but parametrically.
ben_vulpes: i never ever used anything but geometric constraints when designing parts.
ben_vulpes: what do you need the precision for?
ben_vulpes: my asciilifeform emulator says "because wasted time switching between mouse and spaceball!"
ben_vulpes: (it is a 6-dof input device)
ben_vulpes: it is very well integrated with the major cad packages.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: why not use a spaceball?
ben_vulpes: > IS gets squashed
ben_vulpes: > assist iraqi troops
ben_vulpes: > 560 additional troops
ben_vulpes: interesting gedankenexperiment

ben_vulpes: i probably have it on disk somewhere
ben_vulpes not particularly disposed to write an irc bot either

ben_vulpes: awkwardly far from all astronomical cycle dates.
ben_vulpes: Joshua-I: well yes, i'm sharing it.

ben_vulpes: "PRINCESS BUCKETS!"
ben_vulpes: "another bucket?! what are you a princess?"
ben_vulpes: pulls his head out, whines plaintively, "may i have another bucket please?"
ben_vulpes: two more hours of that, i leave to go toodle around on vehicles on the desert. come back, he's asleep on the couch, head deep in five gallons of orange.
ben_vulpes: i strolled out of my tent at ~9a to him drinking directly from the bottle. said, "i'm drunk! what do you think about that?" "psh, you're nowhere near drunk"
ben_vulpes: i witnesesd a feller at burning man receive the moniker of 'princess buckets' one time.
ben_vulpes: today we learn that mircea_popescu has tiny bukkits
ben_vulpes: gasoline's like 40 Mj/kg
ben_vulpes: "it's BRAIN DAMAGE!!!1"
ben_vulpes: aha yes!
ben_vulpes has not heard the thing since his youth. on vinyl!
ben_vulpes: what, for the novice parents, is the braindamage in cosby's routine?
ben_vulpes: "chocolate cake!"
ben_vulpes: high stair!
ben_vulpes: that's all i'm saying.
ben_vulpes: if it works (and what, the brits can't do anything, clearly), it's the only improvement with legs over the classic rocket.
ben_vulpes: leave atmo, cut over to internal fuel supply.
ben_vulpes: so, keep water from precipitating out of the gas coming in, cool it rapidly by dumping the heat into the h2, react h2 and o2 (and yes, some h2o), you have an air-breathing rocket that (yes, nominally) can operate in atmosphere with out consuming onboard o2 all the way up to mach 5.
ben_vulpes: and so long as there is o2, it *will* burn.
ben_vulpes: keep it from doing that, you have cold, high pressure ambient gas you can dump into a steady state reaction chamber.
ben_vulpes: it wants to freeze over the intercooler hooked to the h2.
ben_vulpes: the only reason is because von braun was a savage.
ben_vulpes: mass in rocket exhaust is a /good thing/ ffs.
ben_vulpes: $google more things under heaven and earth
ben_vulpes: it's internal h2 plus ambient air
ben_vulpes: no silly it's not /water-oxidiser/
ben_vulpes: "horatio"
ben_vulpes: see also peroxide motors
ben_vulpes: srsly this is kindergarten rocket chem
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: turns to steam helps with isp
ben_vulpes: mats: rude
ben_vulpes: add glycol, drop the freezing point.
ben_vulpes: but like cold fusion, railguns keep usg contractors in the procurement pipeline.
ben_vulpes: (less useful because a) drag losses and b) accuracy)
ben_vulpes: ramjet if you want to stay low.
ben_vulpes: the further away your target is, the less useful the railgun and the more useful the classic icbm.
ben_vulpes: drag is proportional to v^2
ben_vulpes: /maybe/
ben_vulpes: the only new part of the whole system is the precooler to take air at mach5 and cool it without frosting everything over.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: and how.
ben_vulpes: mats: why would one want an unguided projectile?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: once it leaves compressible atmo, it cuts over to internal o2 supply fed directly into the *same* combustion chambers.
ben_vulpes: the *single best bet* on orbital advances in my lifetime is the mach-5 airbreather.
ben_vulpes: mats: sure, but how do rockets not solve this better and more cheaply
ben_vulpes: bonus, you can point the latter. not so much for either the cannon or railgun.
ben_vulpes: at that point, you may as well save on fab and engineering costs and submerge a hydrogen gun right under the water
ben_vulpes: not to mention the accelerations involved make it more or less entirely impractical for anything other than raw materials.
ben_vulpes to investigate how apple has broken his whitelabeling toolchain. again. still. now.
ben_vulpes: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2016/07/how_puerto_rico_beat_the_hedge_funds.html << obab gets to claim victory, kicks can down road for successors. ¡sorpresa!

ben_vulpes: yes, the thing wants 700 on users google accounts
ben_vulpes: trinque: the *other* thing it's good for is harvesting "all-permission" google federated logins
ben_vulpes: it overlays a shitty 3d pokemodel over the video input

ben_vulpes: trinque: nah, it's to get the millenials looking at something other than how easily cops are killed when they step out in public
ben_vulpes: what the ever loving f
ben_vulpes: eg wandering about and encountering pokemon and trainers to battle
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, "pokemon go" is missing the /core fucking pokemon interaction/

ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-10#1500560 << unmentioned point is that 000 went by so fast i saw 001 instead when watching
ben_vulpes: conspiraci!
ben_vulpes: those two came in kinda quickly.

ben_vulpes: i'm not living in my domes yet.
ben_vulpes: metaphorical vinyl!
ben_vulpes: because then hole in rental environmental envelope, pissed off landlord, and no shelf!
ben_vulpes: part of my job is not accidentally ripping the vinyl apart with 1940s tools
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: neither you nor i live in their works.
ben_vulpes: and the job is sometimes not simply sinking holes.
ben_vulpes: stuff and nonsense. tool is electrical motor and electricity.
ben_vulpes: flexible can be fragile
ben_vulpes: excellent for sinking a million holes. less useful for sinking holes and immediately filling them with screws.
ben_vulpes: just infrequently used.
ben_vulpes: i also have one of the 40s monsters!
ben_vulpes: let me say then that my screw gun drills holes.
ben_vulpes: 2006 18V ryobi.
ben_vulpes: my drill does both quite handily.
ben_vulpes: wide wide world of materials.
ben_vulpes: to avoid driving the screw too far into whatever.
ben_vulpes has nfi how it actually works
ben_vulpes: stops the drill action?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i really hate drills that don't apply the brake when i release the trigger
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ask Joshua-I
