u0_a280[asciilifeform] testing updated smalpest on android ....
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: I see you
signpost[asciilifeform]: do you gents have a preferred android device for one of the 1337 android distributions?
signpost[asciilifeform] working on online-codes encoder today, optimizing for experiments with blatta.
signpost[asciilifeform]: can currently decode about 28mbps stream inbound on one core. working with python's multiprocessing to hopefully get some parallelism going.
shinohai[asciilifeform]: I currently have trash TCL phone - I need to upgrade to something you can get root on.
signpost[asciilifeform] has seriously considered getting one of those chinese pocket computers instead.
signpost[asciilifeform]: with a cellular data plan
asciilifeform: signpost: asciilifeform has one here. still not engentoo'd tho so cannot comment re iron support
shinohai[asciilifeform]: IT has an i7! O.o
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: signpost: haven't used an android for quite some time.
asciilifeform[billymg]: signpost: (on factory winblows) fan blows like vacuum cleaner
shinohai[asciilifeform] can't imagine it'd be *that* difficult to Gentoo one if so ....
asciilifeform: shinohai: with lappy, headache is always in the details ('sleep mode' not works, or gpu fails to sleep and drains battery in coupla hr, etc)
signpost[asciilifeform]: asciilifeform: ah hm
asciilifeform: keyboard also feels very cramped, but this aint a surprise
signpost[asciilifeform]: ideal thing would be a low-power arm thing, just with a keyboard and proper linux
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: this box aint it tho, is 'clothes iron' i7
shinohai[asciilifeform]: That's why I was surprised to see a pocket computer that *wasn't* arm based
asciilifeform: shinohai: there were several (incl. this vendor) since mid-2010s
asciilifeform: 'pocket' is arguably misnomer, won't fit in shirt pocket without ripping. coat pocket maybe.
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: signpost: last I checked it was obscenely difficult to find a raspberry pi + battery pack kit that could switch to wall power without being powered off
signpost[asciilifeform]: yeah, would rather something already shaped like and intended as a laptop if possible.
signpost[asciilifeform] back shortly
signpost[asciilifeform]: (item desired is more like "truck computer" than "pocket")
asciilifeform searched for yrs for usb-controllable battery -> 5v supply to make rk 'portable', not found off-shelf
asciilifeform: ( if you simply want truck/wall -> 5v, is trivial, can buy at auto shop. but if you want 'battery gauge', outta luck afaik )
signpost[asciilifeform]: $ticker btc usd
busybot[asciilifeform]: Current BTC price in USD: $30226.19
signpost[asciilifeform]: dip for ants!
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: signpost: given the amount of inflation since 2019, I estimate the current price is getting quite close to the previous ATH in 2017.
asciilifeform: awt: a 'btc-usd vs TheRealInflation' plot (calculated in any of several ways) would be interesting imho
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: asciilifeform: indeed.
signpost[asciilifeform]: awt: yep, you're probably right
