dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-26 21:19:54 verisimilitude: I read book about chip making from the 1990s, and it mentioned using gallium arsenide instead of silicon could be multiple times faster, and it mentioned using x-rays for photolithography, but I don't see anything new about either of these.

signpost: also don't need much AC there.
asciilifeform: neato
asciilifeform: signpost: i thought tx was attractive jurisdiction, tho (iirc no income tax..?)
signpost: becoming less so imho. the grid's nearly failed several times since the storm, the cities are absorbing a lot of NY and CA, and the property taxes are already high, property "values" inflating like mad.
signpost: so the lack of income tax is offset by the property tax.

shinohai was unable to locate actual proggy either, nor the gpg-replacement thingy in article previous
asciilifeform: item would be over9000x moar entertaining if included proggy. but hey, will take what can get, didn't expect continuing installments of lulzware from the mp lulz co. tbh.

asciilifeform: shinohai: there's apparently a buried layer of older lulz in there (e.g. thing apparently based on a spec written by mp himself! (but does it use mp's fabulous hash(tm)(r)(c) !!? and if not wainot!)
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-15 16:05:36 asciilifeform: ( bonus, mp intended it to be deliberately slow hash, rather like 'argon' and similar modern-day password-derivation widgets. then asciilifeform found order-of-magnitude speedup for the bullshit and he lost interest entirely )
asciilifeform sadly not has time atm to fully milk out the laffs from this item; maybe later
shinohai: Did anyone actually make a version of mp's fabulous hash function that wasn't in some vomit-inducing thing like golang?
asciilifeform: shinohai: see ancient thrd if yer curious re why not.
shinohai: (There might have been a lisp one floating about, could have sworn I toyed with it)

mats: selling the fear and buying the news i guess
asciilifeform: mats: a i was assuming this is re eth in particular, rather than simply 'usd down, errything else -- up'
billymg: asciilifeform: i put together a patch that fixes the classic theme's chan wrapping bug in apple browsers and uses the list-based chan nav. sig is here too if you'd like to give it a quick test
asciilifeform: billymg: neato! will test!
asciilifeform: billymg: your sig is a binary
billymg: lol d'oh
billymg: my bad
billymg: one sec
billymg: oddly enough it works with v.pl
billymg did a test press before publishing
billymg: asciilifeform: updated in place, should be correct now
asciilifeform: ty billymg . i'ma try it
asciilifeform: ugh billymg , what's that '-' doing there ?
billymg: it's lynx only
asciilifeform: waiwat
asciilifeform: no it's not
asciilifeform: i'm seeing it in a 'chrome'
asciilifeform: see for yerself
billymg: make sure to clear cache for css
asciilifeform: ah hrm vanished when zapped cache
billymg: yeah, i saw it on your www, then `shift-refresh`
asciilifeform: aite them
billymg: yeah
asciilifeform: *then
asciilifeform: reflow seems to work as well. a++ billymg , ty
asciilifeform: i'ma mirror the patch
billymg: that's actually the neat thing about lynx, since it ignores css, can put special lynx-only bits in your markup and simply `display: none;` in graphical browsers to hide
billymg: was sort of an interesting exercise for me at least, formatting for both lynx and graphical browsers
billymg: asciilifeform: glad it worked, note also it's on top of 'archived_chans.kv.vpatch' rather than 'style_fixes.kv.vpatch' since it has more or less the same end result but also works with the crapples
asciilifeform: noted, ty
billymg: asciilifeform: btw, another thing for css caching. whenever i make a change to a css file on one of my sites i update the <style> link tag as well, adding a ?v=$VERSION param to the url
billymg: this forces the client to pull from the server rather than cache
billymg: e.g. my logotron mirror now on v10 <link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/bitdash.css?v=10" />
billymg: some people automate this by appending a file hash but i don't make enough updates to bother with that yet
asciilifeform: log www updated!! ty again billymg .
billymg: asciilifeform: np
billymg: asciilifeform: i'm about to embark on a new gentoo build like this one. can i ask if you started with one of the stage tarballs from here and if so, which one?
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-23 15:13:39 asciilifeform: recently completed a gentoo box w/ xorg and using circa-2021 packages strictly, save for gcc (where 4.9) and w/out any systemdisms which crept in since the '16 cut date of dulap-gentoo ; so can confirm that it is possible. but sadly no time to document the process atm
asciilifeform: billymg: i started with a gentoo that was originally born in '11
asciilifeform: which is why said 'i'ma have to repeat this from 0'
billymg: asciilifeform: oh, i misinterpreted the 'circa-2021' packages part then
asciilifeform: billymg: iirc there is a procedure for retrofitting gcc 4.9.x into a post-'16 gentoo, possibly even in the logs
asciilifeform: billymg: circa-2021 portage + rebuild of (most of) world req'd to make current xorg go
asciilifeform: the portage in particular was planted 'whole' in place of an existing one
billymg: asciilifeform: on a laptop of mine i started with a stock upstream gentoo (2018 i think) and retrofitted with gcc 4.9.x, afaict also still systemd free (i started with an openrc stage3 tarball)
billymg: maybe i'll try the hardened openrc stage3 from their downloads page and see where that gets me
billymg: unless asciilifeform thinks i should instead stick with the dulap that's currently on the box and try to find another way around this missing dep for xorg
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-23 15:09:56 billymg: asciilifeform: unrelated, i'm trying to configure dulap with xorg and dwm but one of the deps for xorg isn't found on your repo, 'app-eselect/eselect-mesa-0.0.10-r1'
asciilifeform: billymg: in fact there 'over 9000' missing deps (i.e. where current xorg won't build on previous $lib)
asciilifeform: billymg: i rec to try from the current stage3 + asciilifeform's published ban list configs. not because i know that this works, but because unknown and oughta be tried
asciilifeform: then post result.
billymg: asciilifeform: will try this approach, ty
asciilifeform when carried out the previously-described operation, was not properly documenting, focus was to get a usable box asap above all else
