I know believe I know the etymology of ``absent'', being derived from ``absunt'', being the opposite of ``adsunt'', meaning ``hic sunt'', meaning multiple entities being present. |

it is truly delightful, both in itself and how it lends mastery of this other "language" I speak. |

(trilema) 2017-09-07 trinque: tangentially, but I was taken aback by the beauty the moment I realized that the consonant sound in "ad" was closer to me than the one in "ab". |

some of it can't even enter english with any semblance of grace. |

consider "pro". derps translate with "of" or "for". |

it'd be truer to say "the part which carries the essense of the whole" |

"nuntius pro regis" is not the messenger of the king. the former emanates as a connected part of the latter's extended self. |

It seems a common pattern, for educated men to learn another language to escape their native tongues. |

(trilema) 2019-09-29 asciilifeform: this is btw a long-standing q in asciilifeform's head -- wai is it that lang knobs only ever seem to ~fall off~ in archaeologically-visible period. almost as if they were only formed in 'supernovae' of some sort, and then afterwards only decay |

asciilifeform, is there a rate limit on the download speed from dulap.xyz ? no matter where i try to connect from, i get max download of 200 KB/s averaging 50k |
16:48 |

dpb: no official limit. |

i currently sit at a computer cafe, plugged into ethernet that i paid for the hour, it is supposed to be very fast |
16:48 |
asciilifeform |
dpb: likely bottleneck is on yer local end -- i get ~2MB/s here |
16:49 |

dpb: i rec to use wget w/ resume |

( given as seems you're still trying to grab it week+ after i posted.. ) |
16:50 |

i have been resuming lol. That's not really the point. It would make more sense to have it mailed at this rate |

Think it took < hr for me to mirroe dulap, wasn't terrible amount of time. Had tea, was finished. |
16:53 |
asciilifeform |
dpb: in various tests i get 1-2MB/s from dulap (outside of the cage, naturally). at e.g. lulazon closer to 2; from desk fiber -- ~1.5 |
16:53 |
asciilifeform |
i expect depends heavily on your isp / its peerings |

asciilifeform's cage is on a 100mb pipe; and, on most days, not very crowded. |
17:01 |
asciilifeform |
for 1.5x the current cost, it'd turn into a Gb/s; but again thing aint exactly packed, and i dun expect 100% of subscribed folx are itching to pay 1.5x moar. |

A nicety of renting a server is I can simply download things to it rather quickly and then pull from it at my leisure. |
17:14 |

I'm accustomed to waiting hours or days for downloads to finish, however, so I wouldn't be bothered anyway. |

The worst is how some HTTP servers disable download resumption. |

I've noticed that awful Dropbox company does this, and I've not decided whether it's more likely incompetence or malice. |

It probably wants only its client to be used. |
