snsabot: Logged on 2020-01-31 03:59:51 lobbes: asciilifeform: I was only renting a server, roughly $130 orcbux per month
lobbes: asciilifeform: yeah, it was malaysia
lobbes: (this was for MP's commissioned bot; he didn't want it hosted in reich which I can understand)
lobbes: my hoster for ~everything else is in USA, yet I actually have had a pretty good experience with them thus far.
lobbes: asciilifeform: I will say if my current US hoster kicks the bucket I'll give the alf cage a try for my personal uses
lobbes: asciilifeform: I appreciate that offer! Though at the moment even if I liked it, well I'm too poor to afford another hoster right now lol. I like the principle of try-before-buy though
lobbes: asciilifeform: damn, that is a good price. Do you take orcbux however? I always hate parting with the little btc I have
lobbes: asciilifeform: fair enough. Well, I'm definitely going to keep that in mind in any case. That is very nice price especially considering that I trust the operator
snsabot: Logged on 2019-12-26 16:26:07 asciilifeform: finally updated ratings.
shinohai: Normally so would I, but special case.
shinohai: I simply unrated all the other folks that are too busy knob-slobbing to notice anything else, BingoBoingo being exception.
shinohai: Will remain even when Qntra career ends, which I expect to occur any day now.
shinohai: As they say here in South, "Cuts off nose to spite face"
shinohai: I've never had the opportunity to observe such a phenomenon first hand.
thimbronion: I am reminded of the chicken story frequently, for whatever reason.
thimbronion: Never personally had cause to break any chicken necsk though.
thimbronion: I am quite honored, asciilifeform. The link is much appreciated.
thimbronion: That is the challenge. I hope to avoid another glue trap by doing *something*.
shinohai: I thought thimbronion was one of diana_coman's slaves?
thimbronion: I am currently rated a page boy by diana_coman.
thimbronion: asciilifeform: didn't you say you were learning Chinese?
thimbronion: I see. Lmk if you ever need any errands done in China. I'm planning to travel there soon - possibly in the summer (barring this corona virus thing dragging on past then).
thimbronion: Not afraid to knock on doors, wrangle up local girls, etc.
thimbronion: re: japanese - I got through 2nd year in college, had gf, but, i dunno. Chinese seems more practical.
thimbronion: Where I live is swarming with them. Very few Sushi places even run by Japanese.
thimbronion: They have the ability to somehow be rich and yet not gentrify the neighborhoods they take over.
thimbronion: although sending a lot here buying realestate.
thimbronion: But yes here the money is all in cash or house form. Only ever enters bank in China.
thimbronion: Well, you can't steal a fits in head cpu arch from anyone, so...
snsabot: (trilema) 2019-09-17 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'face derealization' / 'they gave up, why' -- i was reading not long ago about keldysh (head of sovok academy of sciences, and overall respectable figure, in charge of ~100% of calculative works for space / atomic programs etc. ) BUT at same time is the fella who undertook 'let's ditch native comp archs and copy pdp'. seems like was a checkmate, rather than 'dolchstoss', saw no working alternative , 'we can't affor
thimbronion: I don't follow arms much but I thought they were in a good spot with their hypersonic carrier destroying missles or something like that.
thimbronion: Hadn't heard of "First Circle." I will probably check it out.
shinohai: A "newly developed app" caused inconsistencies in results of the Iowa Caucuses ... what a surprise.
shinohai: "But we had a blockchain and everything!"
snsabot: The user zeder has never been seen by this logger.
zeder: Just someone who came across the channel on loper-os.org.
zeder: Otherwise, no one of consequence.
zeder: I read your www whenever possible. I don't recall how I found the log archives, probably random clicking.
zeder: I do have a question actually. I've tried reaching out to symbolics-dk for system order information but received radio silence. Do you know if they're still operational?
zeder: I will, thank you.
zeder: Please feel free to refuse answering this, but aprox how much was the MacIvory rig?
zeder: Great. It's within expected range.
zeder: experimenter? Do you mean a Lispm tourist?
snsabot: (trilema) 2017-03-10 asciilifeform: know what doesn't help ? people's habit of NOT POSTING JACK SHIT
zeder: I haven't heard of snap5. Will dig deeper.
zeder: If I ever write a book on the tech industry I'll title it "Too Little Too Late"
zeder: My interest is in exploring lost possibilities. I'm a long time Lisp programmer who started in XLISP-STAT and missed the era of synergistic hw/sw.
zeder: Yes. I detected a hint of that.
zeder: I'm coming at it from more of the sw side, but I appreciate the importance of the hw preservation as well.
zeder: I need to aggregate the extant literature on the subject. The bits and pieces are scattered throughout various drives and notebooks.
zeder: I've definitely been there, but a refresh is in order.
zeder: I'm going to pull this down and augment it with papers and histories that I've found over the years.
zeder: asciilifeform: I look forward to the release of those docs.
zeder: That would be a nice bit of sleuthing.
zeder: Reading through the links provided. Fascinating leads here.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-02-04 20:13:33 asciilifeform: ( the 'snap5' emulator floating around on warez, incidentally, is not 'proper', it is quite buggy and regularly crashes. and in fact is not a faithful emulation of the actual 'ivory' arch, but of a simplified variant smbx originally sold for dec alpha in late '90s.)
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-09-17 phf: movitz and mezzano are common lisp compilers, they are just shitty ones. they are good enough to boot an os on x86, but they are missing bits (large chunks of standard) because nobody's written those
shinohai: Yeah project still appears active, last coomit 3 hrs ago
shinohai: ChrysaLisp only thing I've tried from Shithub. Nice toy but wasn't fleshed out much, and couldn't run on bare iron yet last I saw.
shinohai: Sad that someone like mp could prolly make sane iron happen if wanted.
shinohai: Of course not, but doesn't hurt. As far as I could tell at one point this was something he desired, neh?
shinohai: It's all there in the 5 bzillion lines of Trilema, we're just too dumb to see it!
shinohai: Well there was gabriel_laddell xD
shinohai: I have no clue how many girls mp has about. Having two about hasn't changed me much, I enjoy pleasures of the flesh, then move on to other irems.
shinohai: That indeed seems to be problem, fellow likes dishing it out but the gods forbid he receive it.
shinohai: Just for shits and giggles downloaded Mezzano, in qemu even running with `-m 2048` painfully slow, near unusable.
shinohai: Hours after I made Qntra submission, Hoaxtoshi *does in fact spin new lie* and claims he can't tell court whether or not he has privkeys to Satoshi stash because "bonded courier" is attorney and it is now "privileged information".
shinohai: Whaddya mean, "feed troll" as in publish items about it?
