15:54 signpost if so, maybe proportionally larger stonk/corpo-bond bust.

17:56 asciilifeform signpost: i thought tx was attractive jurisdiction, tho (iirc no income tax..?)
18:06 signpost becoming less so imho. the grid's nearly failed several times since the storm, the cities are absorbing a lot of NY and CA, and the property taxes are already high, property "values" inflating like mad.
18:06 signpost so the lack of income tax is offset by the property tax.

18:43 asciilifeform it ain't in her 'code shelf' page either
18:45 * shinohai was unable to locate actual proggy either, nor the gpg-replacement thingy in article previous
18:48 asciilifeform item would be over9000x moar entertaining if included proggy. but hey, will take what can get, didn't expect continuing installments of lulzware from the mp lulz co. tbh.
18:48 shinohai tbh though I'm sitting here lulzing at the ETH chain split earlier and all the "Guys can you please stop sending txns? Go for a walk, we all need it!"
18:48 asciilifeform i expect there'll be a 'publication of coad is for idjit engineers(tm)' or sumthing in that vein, essay, at some pt
18:53 asciilifeform shinohai: there's apparently a buried layer of older lulz in there (e.g. thing apparently based on a spec written by mp himself! (but does it use mp's fabulous hash(tm)(r)(c) !!? and if not wainot!)
18:53 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-15 16:05:36 asciilifeform: ( bonus, mp intended it to be deliberately slow hash, rather like 'argon' and similar modern-day password-derivation widgets. then asciilifeform found order-of-magnitude speedup for the bullshit and he lost interest entirely )
18:54 * asciilifeform sadly not has time atm to fully milk out the laffs from this item; maybe later
18:55 shinohai Did anyone actually make a version of mp's fabulous hash function that wasn't in some vomit-inducing thing like golang?
18:55 asciilifeform shinohai: see ancient thrd if yer curious re why not.
18:55 shinohai (There might have been a lisp one floating about, could have sworn I toyed with it)
18:56 asciilifeform in all srsns asciilifeform is a++ in favour of people writing their own softs, instead sitting for YEARS whining about asciilifeform's supposedly-insufficient ones.
18:58 * asciilifeform ftr still using his original vtron from 2015 + phf's patches and intends to continue indefinitely (tho eventually would like to write depythonized replacement and w/ peh in place of gpgism)

21:50 asciilifeform mats: a i was assuming this is re eth in particular, rather than simply 'usd down, errything else -- up'
21:56 billymg asciilifeform: i put together a patch that fixes the classic theme's chan wrapping bug in apple browsers and uses the list-based chan nav. sig is here too if you'd like to give it a quick test
21:57 billymg asciilifeform: also mirrored your two recent patches
21:57 asciilifeform billymg: neato! will test!
21:58 asciilifeform billymg: your sig is a binary
21:58 billymg lol d'oh
21:58 billymg my bad
21:58 billymg one sec
21:58 billymg oddly enough it works with v.pl
21:58 * billymg did a test press before publishing
22:04 billymg asciilifeform: updated in place, should be correct now
22:05 asciilifeform ty billymg . i'ma try it
22:08 asciilifeform ugh billymg , what's that '-' doing there ?
22:08 billymg it's lynx only
22:09 asciilifeform waiwat
22:09 asciilifeform no it's not
22:09 asciilifeform i'm seeing it in a 'chrome'
22:09 asciilifeform see for yerself
22:09 billymg make sure to clear cache for css
22:09 asciilifeform ah hrm vanished when zapped cache
22:09 billymg yeah, i saw it on your www, then `shift-refresh`
22:09 asciilifeform aite them
22:09 billymg yeah
22:09 asciilifeform *then
22:10 asciilifeform reflow seems to work as well. a++ billymg , ty
22:10 asciilifeform i'ma mirror the patch
22:10 billymg that's actually the neat thing about lynx, since it ignores css, can put special lynx-only bits in your markup and simply `display: none;` in graphical browsers to hide
22:11 billymg was sort of an interesting exercise for me at least, formatting for both lynx and graphical browsers
22:14 billymg asciilifeform: glad it worked, note also it's on top of 'archived_chans.kv.vpatch' rather than 'style_fixes.kv.vpatch' since it has more or less the same end result but also works with the crapples
22:15 asciilifeform noted, ty
22:16 billymg asciilifeform: btw, another thing for css caching. whenever i make a change to a css file on one of my sites i update the <style> link tag as well, adding a ?v=$VERSION param to the url
22:16 billymg this forces the client to pull from the server rather than cache
22:17 billymg e.g. my logotron mirror now on v10 <link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/bitdash.css?v=10" />
22:18 billymg some people automate this by appending a file hash but i don't make enough updates to bother with that yet

22:22 asciilifeform billymg: i started with a gentoo that was originally born in '11
22:22 asciilifeform which is why said 'i'ma have to repeat this from 0'

22:23 asciilifeform billymg: circa-2021 portage + rebuild of (most of) world req'd to make current xorg go
22:24 asciilifeform the portage in particular was planted 'whole' in place of an existing one
22:33 billymg asciilifeform: on a laptop of mine i started with a stock upstream gentoo (2018 i think) and retrofitted with gcc 4.9.x, afaict also still systemd free (i started with an openrc stage3 tarball)
22:35 billymg maybe i'll try the hardened openrc stage3 from their downloads page and see where that gets me
22:38 billymg unless asciilifeform thinks i should instead stick with the dulap that's currently on the box and try to find another way around this missing dep for xorg
22:38 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-23 15:09:56 billymg: asciilifeform: unrelated, i'm trying to configure dulap with xorg and dwm but one of the deps for xorg isn't found on your repo, 'app-eselect/eselect-mesa-0.0.10-r1'
22:40 asciilifeform billymg: in fact there 'over 9000' missing deps (i.e. where current xorg won't build on previous $lib)
22:41 asciilifeform billymg: i rec to try from the current stage3 + asciilifeform's published ban list configs. not because i know that this works, but because unknown and oughta be tried
22:41 asciilifeform then post result.
22:41 billymg asciilifeform: will try this approach, ty
22:42 * asciilifeform when carried out the previously-described operation, was not properly documenting, focus was to get a usable box asap above all else
