mircea_popescu: “You can feel good about our project without putting down other projects, so let’s keep it clean.” I said something similar << this, for the record, is fucking stupid.
mircea_popescu: putting dumb shit down is not about "your project". it's about your environment. you put shit down for the same reason you don't keep dirty textiles everywhere
mircea_popescu: which, obviously, these "cms geeks^H^H^H^H bums do keep. but anyway.
BingoBoingo: Such is the peril of conflating a common interest into "community"
mircea_popescu: if you don't do that, you stand at risk of being called a cult!

brendafdez: Well, my first computer was a Pentium 100 Mhz with 8 MB RAM that my parents bought in 1996, I stayed with that thing until 2005 or so. For many years that meant that I used DOS and Win3.11 daily bc W98 was too much for that piece of hardware. Once around 1999/2000 I borrowed from a friend a linux book which came with a Red Hat CD but dual booting was not an option (also the HDD was like 500 MB). It brings back memories seeing those in
brendafdez: s, which I spent many years of my childhood with.

brendafdez: well, i don't have plans, but it may happen. The last trip we made as part of the Giras Bitcoiners project was Asunción in Paraguay last December. The funding issue wasn't getting better. Only one of the trips allowed us to break even.
ben_vulpes: okay fine, share your recipe
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i need something beyond "turd" now
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell nubbins care to share your darwin recipe?
gribble: The operation succeeded.
brendafdez: This brings us to another issue which is the way the 'foundations' present themselves as as sort of official representation of bitcoin. That way they are better able to get funds from companies which want to be advertised and from membes of the community who want to 'be part of bitcoin'. It's what the FBA was/is doing and what the BF was/is doing on a much larger scale.
marteen: brendafdez: ok, I see
brendafdez: When we presented our project as an independent bunch of guys it wasn't the same.
marteen: makes sense
brendafdez: but who know, neither me nor the other 3 'founders' have buried it, so...
marteen: brendafdez: you mention 'funding issue'... how do you usually get this funding?
brendafdez: it was awesome for us as an experience I must say, getting to know the local communites, to travel so much, also to be able to promote one 'real use case' for bitcoin to local service providers
marteen: of course... I can imagine it must have been a great experience :)
ben_vulpes: burning suckers' cash always is.
brendafdez: through sponsors, we had some of them, bitpagos sponsored every trip, digicoins sponsored the trip to mendoza, beOk sponsored the trip to paraguay
ben_vulpes: hence the startup as flamethrower fueled by bezzlars metaphor.

brendafdez: I wanted to write an article on 'bitcon evangelism' or 'selling bitcoin', which of course is selling it to the companies not the people :P
brendafdez: selling the campanies the idea that you'll be selling them with bitcoin to people who attend the talks/conferences/etc
marteen: that would be great
brendafdez: The whole 'evangelism' thing is bullshit, but there are incentives to do it, companies paying for it, who get their money from vcs and desperately need adoption, users, whatever
marteen: well i think we need more companies accepting bitcoin
cazalla: mircea_popescu: why let everyone think beauty and brains don't mix ? <<< get those eyes checked, perhaps same time as indiancandy gets that nose seen too
brendafdez: the point about evangelism is that if you suck the right cock you may make a living out of it. I'm not naming names
marteen: hhmmm, interesting...
marteen: brendafdez: you you can make a living out of it, even being from argentina?

brendafdez: I told you i wasn't even breaking even :P ask the FBA guys, they got funded in late 2012 to do it, and a few who suck theirs get a small part of the cake
marteen: oh, ok...
marteen: well, I mean... I'd like to buy more things more directly with bitcoin...
brendafdez: you can sell the bitcoin and buy with fiat,
cazalla: brendafdez: indiancandy they are awesome <3 those tits. I feel guilty now that I made you start posting pics :) <<< great tits, great body, but what a busted face she has
brendafdez: if you hold gold you dont need merchants to accept gold
marteen: brendafdez: yea, but that's still pretty inconvenient (selling btc for fiat)
brendafdez: why is it? bc there are no people doing it cash in mendoza? i know for a fact thats not the acse
brendafdez: if you were in a small town and no bank account then maybe inconvenient
marteen: I don't know any people here in mendoza that provide that service
marteen: and still, it's an extra step
brendafdez: santiago castiglione travels there often bringing cash, the two btb braindamaged morons do it, if you can stand their stupidity. Tha saner person in Mendoiza is Adriel Araujo from Bitpagos. Contact him, he'll be able to help you, no doubt.
marteen: and if it involves a bank account, then that adds to the inconveniency
marteen: brendafdez: wow, thanks for all this info :)
marteen: anyway, even if there's availability of btc <-> fiat services, i'd much rather avoid the intermediaries (and the banks)
brendafdez: the banks can be avoided entirely. The intermediary is not a must. You can just get in contact with other people, publish your own listings and such. When you're paying with bitcoin, they are selling the bitcoin, so the cost is also there. In Argentina anyway pretty much no transactions at PoS are made in bitcoin, it's just a show for companies which pretend to be doing busniess helping merchants accept bitcoin
brendafdez: If mircea or pete were online and willing to discuss it, it would be easier, they have a more solid and convincing rhetoric than I could dream of myself
brendafdez: but it's problematic for many reasons to think that the value of bitcoin is to be able to pay coffe at a shop
brendafdez: bitcoin is like gold. And gold is no less valuable when you can't spend it at a coffe shop. And even if there are large costs to exchange such modest amounts of gold or silver
marteen: hmm, ok... I think I understand your point
brendafdez: There was a point in bitcoin history when bitcoin was basically free, it had no monetary value, at least during 2009, and mostly also 2010, now it would be unthinkablee
brendafdez: In the future we'll look back and wonder how bitcoin transactions used to be free, when they have large costs involved and it needs be so to keep the network secure
brendafdez: so when blocks fill up and transactions start competing and miner subsidy goes down halving after halving the cost issue of why its not for coffee will be clearer
marteen: but I would still like to be able to make small electronic value transactions without recurring to a central trusted party though
marteen: would this be possible?
marteen: ever?
brendafdez: i'm not sure, there are alternatvies, alternative chains, sidechains, whatever, which certainly can't compete with bitcoin.
brendafdez: right now bitcoin is an alternative even for coffee
brendafdez: however i doubt it's a better technology than handning a piece of paper in exchange for drinks
marteen: hhmmm, i don't like these papers
brendafdez: print your own
marteen: hehe
ben_vulpes suspects a sybil

marteen: brendafdez: btw, thanks for taking the time to explain all this to me :)
brendafdez: that's where we're heading back with bitcoin, taking away the power of the government. Sometimes one loses the big picture. Taking the ability of the government corporation to finance itself through robbery (taxes) and deceit (inflation) is important. Decentralizing coffy purchases at small shops maybe not so much. You could do it in centralized brandatokens and get your bitcoin sent at the end of the day. If I charge you much you go
brendafdez: indiancandytokens instead.
marteen: i find it all really interesting
marteen: ohh, yea, that last part I could accept
brendafdez: it's not that bad having centralized private tokens.
marteen: I agree with that
brendafdez: for certain use cases.
marteen: the key there is that it should be very easy and almost free for anyone to create a centralized private token
BingoBoingo: brendafdez> bitcoin is like gold. And gold is no less valuable when you can't spend it at a coffe shop. And even if there are large costs to exchange such modest amounts of gold or silver << It going take some intermediate step. Instead of trading you highly valuable Bitcoin/Plutonium for coffee you trade it for big bundle of credits at the coffee shop or whatever the local cash sustomarily used for small value trades is
brendafdez: but for quite a while there's been a trend to sell 'decentralization of your grandma through smart contracts in the blockchain' as the next big thing, that's maybe just smoke and meaningless bullshit to appeal to the vcs
brendafdez: BingoBoingo brendatokens would be fine.

nubbins`: probably bsd as well, i guess
asciilifeform: aha there we go.
asciilifeform: perhaps we can do, e.g., vms, next.
asciilifeform: or TOPS-10

asciilifeform: (would have done the same for nintendo ifdefs if there had been any)
asciilifeform: incidentally, the ifdef-iness of bitcoind speaks for the horrendous mega-ugly of cpp

asciilifeform: (the one other fella here who might know what i speak of)
nubbins`: i'll warn that this is *not* a svelte makefile, more fat can almost certainly be trimmed. this is simply a "compiles, runs" thing
asciilifeform: nubbins`: any changes -not- in common with openbsd ?
asciilifeform: out of curiosity
nubbins`: sum total of changes: modify SSL_ARCH_TYPE to Darwin64-x86_64-cc
nubbins`: replace sha256sum with shasum -a 256
nubbins`: replace MSG_NOSIGNAL flag with SO_NOSIGPIPE
asciilifeform: starting from item 3, is in bitcoind proper ?
nubbins`: yes, started from 0.5.3 base
nubbins`: irc.cpp and net.cpp
asciilifeform: was asking, whether any but the last item (signals) concerned bitcoind source itself
nubbins`: ah, right. no
nubbins`: the signals thing is the only actual code change
nubbins`: random forum quote: "In linux sockets (BSD 4.4 compliant) there something called MSG_NOSIGNAL"
nubbins`: so without having the ability to check, i'd advance that SO_NOSIGPIPE might be an osx-specific fix
Adlai: my pet theory of late is that satoshi intentionally built 0.1 on winblows as a red herring
nubbins`: oh and the 0.5.3 makefile.osx doesn't have *any* of the hardening stuff that makefile.unix does
nubbins`: so uh, there's that

asciilifeform: the only reason why jp is still interesting to anybody is precisely that these folks -can't- get in their wot
nubbins`: the ones that do, i truly pity
nubbins`: because they quickly alienate themselves from the locals as well as the other foreigners
Adlai: especially that one guy

asciilifeform: (at any rate, if buying chinese, do it somewhere you can return if necessary and measure the ripple)
nubbins`: i generally avoid chinese-made anything
nubbins`: phun phact, you can get a flash dryer for curing plastisol inks for $800 (american-made) or $300 (chinese-made)
nubbins`: the $800 one has a massive network of tiny coils to evenly heat the shirt
asciilifeform: what size/shape is the heat bed ?
nubbins`: the $300 one has... a domestic oven element. http://imgur.com/KJqDivg
nubbins`: various sizes, ours is 16x16". pizza box profile
nubbins`: the really nice ones ($3k+) use quartz tubes
asciilifeform: nubbins`: you know, the oven heater would work fine if you had a thermal buffer (think 'pizza stone') between it and the payload
asciilifeform: it is how i reflow boards on a hob
nubbins`: that's what the mesh screen is attempting/failing to do
asciilifeform: the mesh screen is not a buffer !

asciilifeform: no thermal mass to speak of, in it

asciilifeform: whereas the 'network of tiny coils' is likewise unnecessary
asciilifeform: scylla and charybdis of chinesecrud and americangoldentoilet !
nubbins`: ^ chinese unit from afar
nubbins`: thermal buffer = massively long heat-up times, additional weight
nubbins`: now here's a funny thing: supposing that flash was made not-in-china. now it's $800. to add a dwell timer, a servo motor, and a foot pedal: extra $800.

mats: for the record, there is still absolutely zero solid evidence that Dual_EC_DRBG is backdoored. the Snowden leaks never mention it by name, never talk about backdooring a CSPRNG, and indeed never talk about backdooring anything. the extent of what they mention is that NSA wanted to 'influence standards'

asciilifeform: justification coming out of our ears, arses
asciilifeform: enough for anyone, i'd think, at this point
nubbins`: i think the overwhelming amount of justification triggers a "this CAN'T be true" response in a lot of people
asciilifeform: once you amputate your vestigial 'this can't be true' organ, you are left with only your understanding of the physical world to go on
asciilifeform: unfortunately, for most of the folks who do this, it ends in a belief in unidentified flying proctologists

nubbins`: the usa invading a foreign country on 100% false pretenses, it can't be true
mats: look, i'm putting my skepticism on the record. if there was evidence, it'd look like 'Tor Stinks' or the slides from Der Spiegel's work on the Belgacom pwnage. i'm not saying that Dual_EC_DRBG doesn't have obvious flaws or that anyone should continue using it, but my skepticism regarding it being an intentional backdoor remains
nubbins`: all american internet traffic flowing through an NSA closet in an at&t building -- it can't be true
asciilifeform: mats: at the risk of repeating myself, i will phrase my position as a kind of maxim: 'it is necessary to behave as if hearbleed and dual_ec were crafted vulns, regardless of any apparent evidence to the contrary'
mats: the whole 'NSA is undermining all crypto standards!' meme is overplayed
asciilifeform: this is a fairly outlandish thing on the surface, and i will justify it with something like 'pascal's wager'
nubbins`: 1% chance of it being an intentional backdoor is 1000x the proof you need to not use it
asciilifeform: thing is, there are not so many good opportunities for crafted vulns, and the usg folks know it. hence they try to cultivate an overall maggoty flavour in software culture at large
asciilifeform: e.g. poettering and his merry men
asciilifeform: in hopes that the maggots will hatch naturally
asciilifeform: this doesn't even require very much support

mats: by being excessively paranoid, you deprive yourself of a lot of useful engineering
mats: the claim i'm most concerned about is that the weakness was engineered by NSA, and that, by having approved it, NIST was complicit, thus casting doubt on all other NIST standards
mats: (not necessarily a claim made here -- but nonetheless)

nubbins`: mats NIST was either complicit or oblivious. both share the same implications.
nubbins`: i.e. that all other NIST standards are cast under shadow
nubbins`: consider that "NIST approved it without knowing that it was backdoored" is probably the least desirable of the two
mats: this kind of innuendo with an utter lack of specifics divides reasonable people into two camps (maximally-paranoid, NIST is evil too, avoid all crypto standards vs. minimally-paranoid, no evidence for anything so we do nothing)

ascii_field: at any rate, such rockets have not really changed since the '70s
ascii_field: there is nothing 'magic' in them.
Adlai: iirc some training ordnance also simulates in-flight behavior of the real thing
BingoBoingo: My guess is it is either for training pilots under load or training maintenance techs without a sapper's margin of error
Adlai: ... actually, there's a lot of new magic?
Adlai is more familiar with anti-tank than anti-air though

BingoBoingo: Well, the pogo hardware was never marketed with multithreading
nubbins`: all else aside, owning one of these pogos is an opportunity
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron so what exactly is it, how did it end up on arch ?
nubbins`: if it's got a real version of bitcoind that works enough to use, all the better
nubbins`: nobody who can't follow some simple instructions to flash nand down the road and reclaim their SD card is gonna buy one anyway
nubbins`: find any forum thread anywhere about pogoplugs being sold at these prices, most of the responses are "!!!!!!!!!"
danielpbarron: there was already a guide written for getting it to work on arch
danielpbarron: and then later i found a guide for debian, but the bitcoind was still dynamic and wouldn't work on it
mircea_popescu: ah so because easier ?
mircea_popescu: is the current arch thing static ?
danielpbarron: it's from ascii's portatronic instructions
danielpbarron: easier yes, in that i don't know any alternatives that work yet
danielpbarron: i think another unsolved problem is that we don't know how to compile a linux kernel that works
danielpbarron: or else maybe gentoo would work on it
mircea_popescu: so basically, you put archlinux according to ascii_field's brew on the pogo, and then compiled a static foundation bitcoind and loaded that up, and that's what we have now ?
trinque: danielpbarron: you can use localmodconfig for that
trinque: make localmodconfig
danielpbarron: no, i compiled the dynamic foundation bitcoind
trinque: build it on a working linux, and you'll get a kernel config

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron which bitcoind ?
danielpbarron: our version
mircea_popescu: seems that's 64 bit only now o.O
danielpbarron: i was lead to believe that getting it to work on 32 bit wasn't that big of a deal, just low priority

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 25167 @ 0.0002288 = 5.7582 BTC [+]
danielpbarron: so far i've gotton both debian and archlinux to work on a pogo
danielpbarron: gotten* / and debian is preferable because no systemd
danielpbarron: but the dynamic bitcoind wouldn't work on it; this may be resolved with the "new bitcoind 32 bit"
mircea_popescu: dude this "let's try pluging things see what happens" approach only works if you actually test, and you're not tooled for the mindboggling thing this testing would be.
mircea_popescu: gotta go with an os brewed by someone with some experience so as to have at least a fighting chance the whole thing works.
danielpbarron: ascii did not brew the OS i'm using
mircea_popescu: what happened there ?
danielpbarron: his instructions were strictly for building bitcoind for pogo
mircea_popescu: wasn't the bulk of that "how to load the os on it" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you there ?
danielpbarron: i was holding out for the thing that gets installed in the eeprom
mircea_popescu: ie, the os ?
mircea_popescu: so what happened ?
danielpbarron: ascii was looking at netbsd for a time; there was some bug where it couldn't see the nand, plus we discovered nasty things about netbsd in general
mircea_popescu: so basically, i surmise, we'd have liked a clean "os in eeprom, data on disk" arrangement, but it seems we're not actually capable to do this, and so as a backstop you tried a few oses to go on disk
mircea_popescu: that basically it ?
danielpbarron: ascii is probably capable, but he's also very busy
danielpbarron: i'm not so busy, but not so capable
nubbins`: arch, fwiw, has the most available documentation re: installing on pogoplug
nubbins`: but afaik there's no reason, say, gentoo wouldn't fly
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the 128mb is the reason none of this flies. they all crawl so far.
nubbins`: consider the statement suitably modified
mircea_popescu: anyway, if anyone listening would like to try his hand at "make your fave os 128mb in eeprom"...
jurov: i can do C/system programming fine but gotta pay bills... stepped aside from this for now
mircea_popescu: there is that.
danielpbarron: oh, i guess the reason no gentoo was the kernel and userland are bigger; but if it's not going into the eeprom gentoo should work

assbot: Logged on 10-02-2015 23:14:45; danielpbarron: asciilifeform, what about gentoo on the pogo?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron we want os on the disk like we want wallets on windows.
mircea_popescu: it's a horribru solution.
danielpbarron: right, but i'm just offering alternatives to ArchLinux (which is also on disk)
trinque: danielpbarron: busybox is made for tight spaces
trinque: gentoo can do that
nubbins`: potential for wasted effort if the chosen os won't fit into eeprom down the road
trinque: I'm going to just buy one of these fuckers and pitch in
trinque: as if I don't have enough going on :p
nubbins`: trinque they're a treat

mircea_popescu: because the community is assholes etc.

danielpbarron: trinque, yeah "Pogoplug Series 4" the one with purple logo
trinque: alright

mircea_popescu: "Japanese society can be notoriously conservative when it comes to gender roles. While there is a lot of talk about the negative effects of imposing traditional roles on women, their restrictiveness and destructiveness for well-being are rarely mentioned in regard to men."
mircea_popescu: prime fucking nonsense.
mircea_popescu: "traditional" gender roles not only happen to be correct, but the costs of getting rid of them are, simply put, societal collapse.
mircea_popescu: the notion taht they are "destructive" for either men or women is so idiotic as to wrap over the ridiculous threshold multiple times.
mircea_popescu: pro tip : not everything that's inconvenient is bad. on the fucking contrary.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field well, i can see a 32 brew of bitcoind coming soonish, is this tacklable to go with it ?
ascii_field: i built for 32!
ascii_field: no one remembers? posted bins too
ascii_field: for armv5 (pogo)
ascii_field: on listserv
mircea_popescu: unrelated. foundation release.
mircea_popescu: i guess that'll be useful for mod6 as a reminder, tho i think he knows.
ascii_field: no reason why the latest recipe can't build on my cross-chain
ascii_field: for armv5
mircea_popescu: "PLEASE REMEMBER - these are for research use only.
mircea_popescu: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT firing these in anger. You may lose limbs." << recall that ?
mircea_popescu: it'll have to come off.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: not directly related
ascii_field: though it was used in the bin
mircea_popescu: anyway, wouldja focus here ?
ascii_field: the build recipe for the cross to armv5 was called 'portatronic'
ascii_field: yes, trying to describe from beginning
mircea_popescu: forget the 32 bit issue, mod6 is working on that.
ascii_field: unless some bug was -introduced- since i last played with bitcoind, it should work ok on 32
mircea_popescu: ascii_field so back to os topic.
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> no one remembers? posted bins too <<< i remember!
mircea_popescu: well, how soon can we have it ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: basic idea is that we mustn't ship with a kernel built by some random bozo

nubbins`: much of today will be useful in the future, i'm putting a pin in it
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: how soon can we have it << i personally will dust it off tonight and say where it's at before i turn in for the night
mircea_popescu: trinque you should try the sd if you're doing research.
mircea_popescu: we've not tried it much.
danielpbarron: store blockchain on SD card? that will take forever to sync
ascii_field: i tried this
ascii_field: not so hot.
mircea_popescu: maybe he has good sd cards.
ascii_field: sd is a few 100 kB/sec in practice
danielpbarron: the 5400 rpm sata drive takes long enough
ascii_field: serial protocol, ~33MHz iirc
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you gotta appreciate the following point : people have diff items hanging around ther house
mircea_popescu: and time is not much of a constraint here.
ascii_field: sd card isn't typically built for 100% duty cycle either
mircea_popescu: so it takes 6 months to sync instead of 4. oookay ?
ascii_field: (normal application is more something liek a camera)
mircea_popescu: if it runs for55 years ?
danielpbarron: might be interesting to see if an already synced .bitcoin directory is copied over to SD card and see if it can simply keep up
trinque: I am fine with doing the tortoise test
ascii_field: neh more like 2yrs vs 6mo
ascii_field: but -no one- must take my word for it
ascii_field: always - measure.
trinque: mostly interested in helping with the OS

nubbins`: hahah
ascii_field: i got pretty good results with usb3
nubbins`: yeah, fine

nubbins`: and put into a pogo
nubbins`: will not pull down another block?

danielpbarron: and no, i haven't tried that
nubbins`: i said usb2 on purpose 8)

jurov: actually that is what i meant, office rats can't really have honor. and without honor, also no role
mircea_popescu: jurov why couldn't they ?
nubbins`: which everyone thought was odd, until one guy from there explained how many ovens an actual flash cure would cost
mircea_popescu: see, to propose honor is somehow in the job ie external rather than i nthe person seems nonsense.
mircea_popescu: besides, historically, every new job was deemed to be "devoid of the possibility of honor"
nubbins`: you see some wild setups. like shirts being hung on a clothesline and wheeled across a 30 foot bank of hung oven elements
jurov: honorable person would refuse such job
mircea_popescu: i dunno about that.
jurov: know any counterexample?
mircea_popescu: now, you're right in saying that gender is not really an attribute of lower life forms, and if one becomes a part of some sort of machine the gender's useless to them, which is how we got bees and ants in the first place.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, i dunno that there's something magical about the office automatically requiring this.
mircea_popescu: the uk ran offices of perfectly respectable folk for all of the 1800s.
mircea_popescu: for that matter - being A DOCTOR is becoming more like this, and wasn't like this before at all - it was the very pinnacle of liberal profession.
mircea_popescu: so i agree that punishing the plebs for being "bicurious" or "metrosexual" or "gender confused" or "Transsexual" or w/e is really silly, they're simply sexless.
mircea_popescu: but this does not flow from "office job" imo.
jurov: both cases were primarily defined tby going out and talking/doing something to people, not pushing papers and filling forms
nubbins`: hey, some people in office jobs have sharp teeth
mircea_popescu: jurov not sure socialisation is the key here. for instance, navigators perfectly honorable, except if not.
jurov: um, i can't put the finger exactly there
mircea_popescu: then again, pirates invented the "honor among thieves" thing which is what we're fundamentally continuating here. "how could there be rule of law otuside of usg ?!?!" "same way there was rule of law in the fucking bahamas"
trinque: jurov: are you equating office with cube-hell?
mircea_popescu: and this is where it comes out that mp sees only very moderate problems with "honor killings", for instance, as atrociously intoilerable they may seem to the libertard set. meanwhile mp sees some problem with say "hospital deaths", as totally benign and normal and expected they seem to the same set.
mircea_popescu: but not subscribing to that particular silly manicheism allows one to see that really, the modern story of "libertard society driving out honor society (aka, amusingly, honorata societa)" has everything to do with a happenstance :
mircea_popescu: that scientists happened to prefer working with one of the available ideologies rather than the other. there's nothing ~fundamental~ about the "well being" of democracy.
mircea_popescu: it all flows from packaging and selling other people's added value, and those other people are pointedly not part of the democracy, nor is their donation necessary in absolutely any sense.
mircea_popescu: so, on the score of "what is bitcoin disrupting" : getting scientists to donate to a honor-based system rather than to a socialism-based system will utterly restructure society.
mircea_popescu: /end rant

asciilifeform: nubbins`: there most certainly was not.
asciilifeform: was first place i looked way back when.
BingoBoingo: sheevaplug seems to be different beast for reasons only Vishnu knows
asciilifeform: that isn't why
BingoBoingo: sorry, reasons only Vishnuplug knows
asciilifeform: just that there is no meaningful detail in there about config for 3.18
asciilifeform: (or anything else)
asciilifeform: anyone here have pogo with debian running?
asciilifeform: please extract the config & post
asciilifeform: zcat /proc/config.gz > config.txt
asciilifeform: note that this may or may not work depending on whether the kernel was built with this enabled
asciilifeform: if no one has debian, but someone has arch - please post that
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, mod6, danielpbarron, mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes ???
asciilifeform: punkman ?
BingoBoingo yet to try .foundation build as spec'd, mostly has moar weird in his plan pipeline
nubbins`: gzip: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory
nubbins`: haha wat.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: snipped to save space then
asciilifeform: but it means that there is no way to replicate the kernel build short of catching the perpetrator and slowly roasting him over a fire
nubbins`: (probably 0)
asciilifeform: nubbins`: not 3.18 !
nubbins`: right, 2.6
nubbins`: don't mind me
assbot: config-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-3 - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1FDFZpD )
asciilifeform: nubbins`: from where ?
assbot: Linux Kernel 3.18 (FDT) and 3.16 (non-FDT) Kirkwood package and rootfs ... ( http://bit.ly/1FDG3Wh )
assbot: Qui's techNOLOGY Blog: Hacking the Pogoplug v4 (Series 4 and Mobile) with Linux (Debian or Arch) ... ( http://bit.ly/1LaLl9S )
nubbins`: which is what i followed to get my pogo up and running
nubbins`: but i think the guide i used was for 3.18
nubbins`: shrug
asciilifeform: nubbins`: ty, about to test it
nubbins`: np, lmk!
gribble: What do you think I am, a shell?
asciilifeform: woah the sheer amount of turdage in that one
nubbins`: it's looooooooooong, hey?
asciilifeform: crapolade that is not possibly used for anything, ever.
asciilifeform: i mean, it's 10x the size
asciilifeform: every possible sound card, gpu,...
nubbins`: i thought i accidentally pasted twice when scrolling down to pastebin submit button!
nubbins`: "for GoFlex Home/Net, Pogoplug E02/Mobile/V4, iConnect, Dockstar, Sheevaplug, NSA320, NSA325, Topkick, and all other Kirkwood plugs that are already in the mainline"
nubbins`: in other words, bring your own scissors :0
asciilifeform: and that is why ten thousand joysticks ?
asciilifeform: still building
asciilifeform: and for who knows how long.
mircea_popescu: !up eric
BingoBoingo: !up eric
nubbins`: shrug
nubbins`: !up eric

asciilifeform: nubbins`: no signs of life
asciilifeform: nubbins`: from that kernel.
asciilifeform: (the extra mass in the config was actually from building every possible module. which went into the rootfs and had no impact on the kernel proper)
nubbins`: boo. didja try 3.18 or .16
asciilifeform: anyway it's just as dead as the last maxint kernels
asciilifeform: nubbins`: 3.18
asciilifeform: which comes with buildroot
asciilifeform: using your config

BingoBoingo: perhaps pogolinux is actually just OS/2 with gratuitous text substitution?
BingoBoingo also learned today all of his most exotic fire extinguisher ideas have largely been incorporated into class D fire extinguishers already except for the DU based supressant idea
asciilifeform: the famous kerosene fire extinguisher.
asciilifeform: (hey it extinguishes - eventually.)
BingoBoingo: And the carbon tetrachloride fire extinguishing grenade
BingoBoingo: JetA puts out fires pretty well though provided you are flicking a cigarette butt into a bucket of JetA most of the time
BingoBoingo: God dammit, coyotes are back already this year

nubbins`: all hyooj
