asciilifeform: in other misc noose, chinese nao sell a 10inch spi-interfaced eink display thing with <1s refresh, fits on e.g. our rk3328-roc-cc board without solderings. theoretically a lappy can be hand-sewn .
asciilifeform: also worx as desktop display ( prolly would need a kernel framebuffer diddle tho )
asciilifeform: item did not exist 2wks ago ( asciilifeform has a semi-automated process to look for certain things if they happen to be born )
asciilifeform: ( you won't play 'doom' on a 1hz monitor, but e.g. emacs , will work )
asciilifeform: these items have partial redraw, so in principle text-based items would work properly.
mod6: board without solderings. theoretically a lappy can be hand-sewn .
mod6: whoops.
mod6: mornin'
mod6: that's pretty neat alf
Mocky: eink display is quite interesting. i've been a fan for some time, still using 2nd gen kindle to this day
BingoBoingo: Nice find
asciilifeform: Mocky: i've been using'em for yrs, for reading txt. but nobody ever afaik sold a lappy with one, 'because winblows mouse cursor will snailtrail' and such
asciilifeform: Mocky: so happens that i stare at a screen up to 14h/d and would prefer that it reflect, rather than emit, light, but i've yet to meet device that would properly replace lcd for e.g. emacsing. possibly will exist.
Mocky: yeah, fantastic tradeoffs for a pretty narrow set of uses. even a console application for example will be pretty much unreadable during a period of heavy text spew. which you obviously know
asciilifeform: not as if spew is that readable even on fast display
asciilifeform: spew is rubbish, if the contents are important you'll buffer'em
Mocky: quite so
asciilifeform: Mocky: the contents of my lcd's, move very little, would quite handily work on 'epaper'. if it came in metre size..
asciilifeform: the upstack item however is mainly of interest to laptopists -- as it draws 0 current when not updating.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 20:15 asciilifeform: or even as mundane as refusal to play 'death ray seller' stooge role in $provocation-of-the-day
asciilifeform: 'may have fled to Taipei after he was tipped off' etc
asciilifeform: 'mysteriously missed his scheduled flight back to America'

asciilifeform: 'The warrant issued by a U.S. magistrate in Las Cruces, New Mexico, showed that on Sept. 14 agents removed from the man’s home three cell phones, five laptops, one iPad, an external hard drive, 16 thumb drives, 89 compact flash disks and other material' << notbad.jpg toybox for 'janitor under contract to clean the facility'
asciilifeform suspects that all usg 'confiscate errything' letterhead nao is perma-stamped 'child pr0n investigation'
asciilifeform: moar peculiarly, 'The FBI told Reuters that the suspect has not been arrested or charged with a crime...'
BingoBoingo: Maybe he is in Formosa as well?
asciilifeform: or maybe not dumb enuff to 'escape' to usg's 'unsinkable carrier'(tm)(r) whoknows
BingoBoingo: The places's most noted export is a particularly destructive species of termite, they can sink
asciilifeform: lol that and ~80% of the ic's sold errywhere
BingoBoingo: details
BingoBoingo: And the termites will prolly last longer
asciilifeform: termites are 4evah.
mats: fun fact, tw started work on a nuclear power plant and construction has been stopped since 2014 due to the tsai admin, which wants to phase nuclear power out entirely by mid 2020s
mats: instead, they want to build more LNG terminals
mats: l0l
mats: one of the policies on the platform is reducing dependence on the mainland, not sure how increasing energy dependence on foreign suppliers is helpful
asciilifeform: mats: usg colony, what do you expect
asciilifeform: ( who sells lng. )
mats: uk also stands to consume a lot of usa lng, if brexit no deal, i think
mats: they also approved a new coal plant
mats: tw, that is

asciilifeform: !Q later tell nicoleci did not take http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-19#1852187 advice ? dun say nobody warned , when that thing croaks
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 20:18 asciilifeform: ( imho they also oughta be to something other than Framedragger's logtron, which i suspect is not long to live )
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
mats: i take back what i said about uk, that’s wrong
asciilifeform: in other phunkpakt, a freebsd box set up to defaults will piss out about 500MB/yr in liquishit into /var/spool/clientmqueue , which ( given no sendmail on box, because why the fuck ) slowly fills, and after $years will fill disk. ( at which point , if you're asciilifeform and its yer house router, whole orchestra goes down, and you gotta clean it... )
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in very very other lulz,
asciilifeform: apparently i was still subscribed to... urbit ml. where today we learn that : 'The tooling around the PKI transition to Ethereum is coming along nicely. Contracts are pretty much frozen. It’s all UI and key generation now.'
asciilifeform: didjaknow!
asciilifeform: oh oh and let's not fughet : '... improved HTTPS proxying and fresh crypto jets.'
asciilifeform: ( for expert entomologists strictly ! ) http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/cqjcB/?raw=true << from the horse's mouth, re how and when the 2 scams merged together. ( derp blocks archivers, as if this does him some good )
mircea_popescu: there is a legitimate argument for lng, which is : traditional liquid hydrocarbon cocktails auto-ignite in the 200-250 range.
mircea_popescu: methane autoignites >500.
mircea_popescu: this matters immensely in engine design. in point of fact you can have better large engines (in therms of, hp per cc) with lng.
mircea_popescu: requires turbo, of course.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-20#1852565 << freebsd is a piece of shit, just like all the others.

asciilifeform: point wasnt 'lnx sux', was re usg's various ploys to sell their expensive lng against cheaper ru item
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-21#1852575 << in moar ways than one. but this , was simply mindboggling, default is to slowly fill disk with eggogola , and guesswat, tail GB of it was... warnings of impending fulldisk!

mircea_popescu: holy shit, freenode's been egregiously shitty past week or so
mod6: evenin' Lords and Ladies
mod6: ole mod6 thought it was all over tonight.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the thing is though, in all mineral markets, he who sells last sells best.
mod6: Was in the back of the Towncar, got hammered from behind, carrened into the back of some other guy.
mod6: Cars were totaled.
mod6: Everyone walked away amazingly enough.
mod6: Got checked out, but hurtin'.
mod6: Otherwise, will be ok.
mod6: Fuck cars.
lobbes: oof. congrats on staying alive
Mocky: oh man, i'm glad you're ok
mod6: Cheers Mocky
mod6: thx lobbes
mod6: Yeah, that sucked. I was reading the logs on the phone...
mod6: *POOOW*
mod6: didn't know what the fuck even happened. lol.
mod6: I smashed my face so hard on the head-rest in front of me.
lobbes: few years ago I was t-boned while going through a green light by some taxi driver without a license. totaled my car and I remember one of his passengers fleeing the scene. always a 'wtf' moment
mod6: My teeth actually hurt, and I think that's the weirdest part.
lobbes: couldn't hurt to see a dentist
mod6: damn lobbes, that sounds horribru
lobbes: also no injuries though. always got to be thankful for that
BingoBoingo: Congrats on living mod6
mod6: Thanks, Sir.
mod6: lobbes: yeah, that shit tends to linger too.
mod6: i got hit by a car back in 2005 and it took nearly 10 years to get better.
mod6: i mean not constant pain, but pretty bad for the first 2-3 years after that.
mircea_popescu: that sucks.
mod6: yeah, well, fuggit.
mod6 goes to read the logs without getting blasted in the ass.
