phf: <mircea_popescu> [23:48:39] anyway, this entire "i don't understand what's << it's like the audience in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6q4n5TQnpA
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron checksum is of the extracted file tho
danielpbarron: whoops, n/m then it checks
mircea_popescu: again with the weird brits lol ?
phf: i just can't get over that video
phf: just the amount of confusion all around
mircea_popescu: should prolly blog about it.
mircea_popescu: o hey, nice butterfly!
mircea_popescu: phf : "Suntem buni cetățeni amuzate Și pilonul rușinos Măruntaie ale ultimului preot Ultimul rege șarpe. FSE: Tsyavlovsky. "Suntem buni cetățeni amuzat ...": (epigrame despre accesorii Pușkin). - 1962 (text)"
mircea_popescu: (we are good citizens she-amusing and the snake pillar, entrails of last poet last king snake.)
mircea_popescu: oh i'm sorry, the ~shameful~ pillar.
shinohai: "Look, I don't care if there's a prophecy" <<<LOL

deedbot: xx_ voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: ahh dude this is great.
xx_: just reading, because no logs. But thanks.
mircea_popescu: a yea, coming soon.
asciilifeform had dream that he was in buenos aires but for some reason had a 'minox' the size of a matchbox, and was spending days and days trying to find film for it
mircea_popescu: to film what ?
asciilifeform: who even knows!
mircea_popescu: o dang, i never took you lot to the ancient camera cafe did i ?
asciilifeform: will it have film for the minox!
mircea_popescu: there's a cafe here, decor consists of well > 1k old cameras, up to about 1960s or so
mircea_popescu: possibly. already voalated lol.
asciilifeform: well in the dream this is actually what happened! found a shop that sold it, but the clerk nonchalantly wound it from a bobbin in broad daylight, ignoring my grimaces
asciilifeform: lulzily, i have never actually owned a 'minox' or any such thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and in other news, http://40.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgvm23MWZU1qcesmoo1_1280.jpg << they have faces!!1111
asciilifeform: mega-chix
mircea_popescu: somethinjg for everyone!
punkman: oh hey it worx
punkman: gd'afternoon
punkman: asciilifeform: I shot an expired roll with pentax 110 this week, pretty fun
punkman: fuji/kodak stopped making new 110 film years ago iirc
punkman: some folks made a film splitting jig and then cut 35mm rolls into two 110 rolls (in darkroom of course)
asciilifeform: punkman: pretty sure the minox aficionados have a similar thing
punkman: I think a couple small factories occasionally make batches these days, but I still have like a dozen expired rolls
punkman: free "instagram" filters
asciilifeform: who the hell ~doesn't~ process b&w at home
asciilifeform: sorta the whole point of b&w
mircea_popescu: you can prolly wash and recast your own film really.
mircea_popescu: for black and white.
punkman: huge pita cutting and loading it back into cassettes
jurov: S.QNTR was distributed
danielpbarron: $up peter_lambert
deedbot: peter_lambert voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: $up davout
deedbot: davout voiced for 30 minutes.
davout: mircea_popescu: ty
davout: so i tried "$up", and then "$v OTP" against deedbot
davout: i get "deedbot hands you a broomstick."
davout: which i fail to compute
mircea_popescu: you pm it $up and it says broomstick ?
davout: nah, it gives me an otp link
davout: it answers that way when i feed it the decrypted otp back
mircea_popescu: hm. trinque ?
davout: yeah, told him
ben_vulpes: nominally, a "Intel D27512 UV Erasable PROM from 1989"
diana_coman: fwiw deedbot worked for me, although it had 1 min delay to give the otp
mircea_popescu: $gettrust deedbot davout
deedbot: L1: 1, L2: 7 by 7 connections.
mircea_popescu: $gettrust deedbot diana_coman
deedbot: L1: 1, L2: 3 by 3 connections.
mircea_popescu: seems pretty snappy
diana_coman: it *was* snappy on giving voice ; so: delay at $up, snappy at $v ; maybe just a hiccup, no idea
phf: maybe it was garbage collecting!
jurov: lol phf... then implement "imma garbage collecting, come back later" message?
jurov: or, better, ask user "0x524537f3 has refcount 2, found references from 0x546876fed, garbage collect [yn]?"
mircea_popescu: http://dpaste.com/0TK5TNG.txt << and pray tell, 50% OF WHAT
mircea_popescu: $up Apocalyp1ic
deedbot: Apocalyp1ic voiced for 30 minutes.
ben_vulpes: "regular" gasoline for 1.97/gal, "premium clear" (somewhat higher octane, no ethanol) gas for 3.17/gal
ben_vulpes: this has been your consumer energy cost cum shitflation report
mircea_popescu: ie, crazy-five-year-plan-gas doublespoken as "regular" being excised at only 67%, while actual regular at 84%
mircea_popescu: and yet the sane thing's still not twice the price.
ben_vulpes: it's not all plain 'excise', there's rather a lot of corn in "regular".
ben_vulpes: fully granted, corn in the gas is a tax of its own.
mircea_popescu: the other one's taxed so what's left is about half.
mircea_popescu: ie, actual economic agent makes 1.97 * (1-.67) for crazy-five-year-plan-gas and 3.17 * (1-.84) for actual regular.
mircea_popescu: and yet still prefers to sell the actual regular for merely 0.5072 rather than pocket the 0.65 for crazy-five-year-plan-gas.
mircea_popescu: because, obviously, "entrepreneurs hate socialism". either that or nature hates it outright.

mircea_popescu: that part's complicated o.O
asciilifeform: looks like mircea_popescu found the 200 ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes> and for asciilifeform: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3834/19305969764_42490e7635_o.jpg << i think i posted that
asciilifeform: or possibly one of my old colleagues did, i left a bunch of those roms and my microscope with them
asciilifeform: this is a cruddy shot tho
asciilifeform: http://imgur.com/cZlRWor << what i had lying round
asciilifeform: taken with shitcam on pnohe through the ocular
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do you mean "found".
asciilifeform: well, nailed down where the number came from
mircea_popescu: twas never anything else.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hm ok
mike_c: the highest bid at the end of Wednesday the 6th of April 2016 << GMT?

mike_c: ^ davout
phf: asciilifeform: so is it possible to build chromium without dbus?
BingoBoingo: phf: alf seems to run chromium, so probably? Journey to doing so likely unpleasant
phf: that's what it looks like, a rabbit hole
BingoBoingo: It's more a physical plant time of year anyways.
BingoBoingo researching how to fix/replace sillcock
asciilifeform: phf: i never managed it. but you ~can~ run it on a box without dbus, it appears.
phf: this linux laptop business is 2 steps forward 10 steps back
asciilifeform: still more usable than crapple, where i was unable - despite many weeks of sweat - to get very very basic things running (e.g., a locally-built gnat, or a mips-gcc toolchain)
phf: i suppose it's one of those cases where one is good at what one knows
phf: i'm having a hard time deciding if i should just keep using 10.9 until it's fully deprecated by unix userspace even, or switch asap
phf: fwiw i have working gnat on os x
asciilifeform: with 'gps' ?
asciilifeform: and with NO BINARIES FROM OUTSIDE ?
asciilifeform: and does it build for targets other than x86-64 ?
mircea_popescu: lol get out.
asciilifeform: (i have shit gnat on crapple also, it is not hard)
phf: you need to spec your problems better :>
mircea_popescu: was it ever possible to stand up os-x anything "with no binaries from outisde" ?
asciilifeform: phf is learning mircea_popescu's problem-solving algo i see! l0l
asciilifeform: 1) don't have problem 2) ??? 3) profit
mircea_popescu: no im sure he knew it from b4
mircea_popescu: speaking of which... log ?
asciilifeform: i've been using his log for dayz - http://glyf.org/h/t-a
asciilifeform: (it is missing linkability and any kind of control knobs but otherwise is spiffy0
mircea_popescu: lol. asciilifeform is learning phf'sproblem-solving algo i see!!!
phf: hmm, almost, maybe 2 more hours of work. deployable, but i want log collector to stand on its own, rather than rely on znc before i deploy
mircea_popescu: tbh i really liked the old log css.
mircea_popescu: to celebrate, ima share that i saw kundun, and it's fucking stupid.
mircea_popescu: but that aside, anyone else notice the whole tibetan thing reeks of overgrown sioux or somesuch ?
asciilifeform: it exists entirely as a usgtronic 'oh noez empire that isn't us is gassing its vermin'
asciilifeform: from day0
mircea_popescu: apparently primitive hunter-gatherer societies accidentally left behind their time end up in the same ruts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tibet existed long before the england that spawned the us was invented.
asciilifeform: tibet - existed
asciilifeform: whining re cn demolition thereof - no.
mircea_popescu: doing the same thing as now - sorta playing romania to sino-mongol disputes.
asciilifeform: 'The Tibetans refer to the Dalai Lama as 'Kundun', which means 'The Presence'. He was forced to escape from his native home, Tibet, when communist China invaded and enforced an oppressive regime upon the peaceful nation of Tibet.' << barfalicious
phf: "peaceful nation of tibet"?
mircea_popescu: the chinese version, equally accurate, being that they brought the red light to a ridiculous sort of still-medieval sicily.
mircea_popescu: in 19fucking50.
mircea_popescu: anyway. scorsese.
mircea_popescu: there's nice hats and the people have pleasant voices.
mircea_popescu: wtf tho, still stupid.
asciilifeform: we have professional tibet whiner squads here in washington
asciilifeform: along with 'falun gong' fanatics
mircea_popescu: they have armenians here ; not so much tibet.
asciilifeform: the latter, dress in yellow and set up stands with pictures of dismembered corpses, etc. and nondescript trucks with caption 'organ collection' etc.
mircea_popescu: it's like ... "and then the turks came, killed all the men and sold the women off into slavery" and somehow the expected answer is something other than "omfg, here when ?!"
asciilifeform: the pro whiners typically orbit the few km radius of white house and other places where bureaucrats and tourists can be found
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is that some sort of penis slang ?
mircea_popescu: here too!
mircea_popescu: fancy that, do you suppose konspiraci, or do you suppose idiocy is clever in the same way everywhere.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: part of their mythology is that cn disassembles miscreants for spare parts (afaik this is not untrue, but the scale of it is exaggerated for effect)
mircea_popescu: the trite slyness of stupidity.
mircea_popescu: and before communism, cn cooked dead babies. it's a lively place.
asciilifeform: civilized folk eat their babies raw, everybody knows!1111
phf: i'm vaguely disappointed that chinese didn't preserve tibet as a kind of natural habitat, but had to go civilizing the place
asciilifeform: phf: iirc they were going to, but then went in and barfed and broke out the ddt
danielpbarron is a descendant of armenians who escaped the genocide
mircea_popescu: o thus the good looking beard ?
danielpbarron: heh i guess
asciilifeform: according to one version, the turks invented the mass gassing (they marched a buncha armenians into a cave and lit fires)
danielpbarron: also marched them into the desert to starve
asciilifeform: aha, more famously.
mircea_popescu: so what's your stance on the armenian genocide ?
danielpbarron: i'm not bitter about it; seems to me those that survived are better off for it
mircea_popescu: as per usual.
asciilifeform: as i understand, the ones to be clobbered were the ~most~ turk-integrated
danielpbarron: i think it was probably a genocide (as opposed to a war or however the turks spin it) but that's probably more humiliating a stance for the armenians to take
asciilifeform: so if they had remained alive, 'armenian' today might simply mean just a subtype of turk
mircea_popescu: like kurd ? :D
