diana_coman: ty, btw. The birthday party went a little bit late, and the writing assignment went over time again, so I am pushing to get the reviews done. An error I've been making with the writing assignments is I've been doing a poor job since I leave the 30 mins of planning for the next day as the last item before I go to bed.

01:59	whaack	http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-12-19#1013595 << I left this question unanswered. From MIT I have little to show. Most of my buddies there were made smoking and so I fell into the wrong crowd. They are 'doing well' in the sense of making 6 figures in monopoly money at some SV firm. There are a few friendships at MIT I failed to grow with some smart do-shit type of individuals, I can try to reach out to them and see wha
01:59	whaack	t they're up to. In Stuyvesant I did a bit better, I have a tight nit meatwot that has lasted ten years. I have one close friend who has been very successful in med school and has his choice of pick for residency. His stories of the bs that goes on in hospitals are hilarious if not terrifying. I have another who is getting his Phd in physics in Paris. He is fluent in Hebrew and conversational/fluent in French and Italian on top of
01:59	whaack	English. Although unfortunately for him I worry that he bites into the US politics fast food too much. I have another close friend from Stuy, but same things with the politics + he has gone down the dark path of California and SV monopoly money like most of my MIT buddies.

02:03	whaack	speaking of monopoly money, i have a contact interested in buying $100,000 worth of btc. Pure cash deal that I will broker, if anyone in the CR area is interested please gpg me.
02:06	whaack	(If you are interested in doing a smaller amount feel free to inquire as well)

05:27	whaack	diana_coman: EOD Report: I finished the daily article + wrote my review + plan for next week. I was quite tired and even took a 30 minute nap after the birthday party and drank coffee at 4pm to get the article+review+plan done. I am waiting until tomorrow to do my 30 minutes of planning for my next article. Tomorrow I will be building my computer.

16:57	ossabot	Logged on 2019-12-19 07:03:00 diana_coman: trinque: after reading the latest OS related thread in #t, it does seem to me that there's still a lot that should be discussed in #t though; tbh thinking on this, I'm not sure there's a single place for it all ie I can easily see different threads (all related in some way or another to "tmsr os") belonging to each of the chans really (#trilema, #o, #
16:59	trinque	also diana_coman, I would benefit from your view on whether a business around tmsr os is viable, premature, what.
17:00	trinque	http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-12-19#1013556 << did you write this? runit already exists, and is exceptionally small
17:00	ossabot	Logged on 2019-12-19 16:19:07 whaack: diana_coman: Tackling the two headed beast, I am going to be splitting my time between reading the books recommended by trinque and moving forward with the irc project. I am starting to read The Art of the Metaobject Protocol right now. Later today will work on setting up a process monitor. The process monitor will run on a separate machine, and check every ~2 seconds to see if TheFleet is running. If it detects the
17:01	trinque	I have intended to have runit as process 1.
17:01	trinque	as it happens, a stripped-down runit lives in busybox already.
17:01	trinque	has process supervision, etc.
17:12	whaack	diana_coman: great news! /s the helpful ticos already assembled the computer for me. They kept the packaging light+compact, leaving out the boxes for the various parts (w/ their instruction manuals). Oh and they left out the sd card reader entirely, which they informed me after I asked to confirm I had everything while picking up the package from the mail.
17:17	whaack	I'm going to post pictures of how they assembled it, find all the manuals online, start disassembling the computer, and then put it back together.
17:18	trinque	heh, turn it on first eh? save yourself some "did this ever work?" later
17:27	whaack	trinque: well it's 90% assembled, except the hard drives i ordered separately so they are missing.
17:27	trinque	just saying not to mess with a system in all manner of ways prior to taking some measurements of initial conditions.
17:29	whaack	trinque: alright i'll examine it + turn it on before I change anything.
17:33	BingoBoingo	whaack: When you do get to disassembly, see how they handled the thermal interface between the CPU and heatsink.
17:38	whaack	BingoBoingo: I was curious about that since I have my thermal paste out on the desk. I'll take note. Is there anything I need to be particularly careful about / watch out for while disassembling?

18:52	BingoBoingo	whaack just if the heatsink and CPU take a LOT of force... they may have used epoxy. When you apply the new thermal paste make sure all of what they used is removed.
18:56	whaack	BingoBoingo: thx
19:04	trinque	dude this "ever helpful ticos" thing is real.

19:33	diana_coman	http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-12-21#1013686 - well, talk to him since it's anyway better for you to talk to intelligent people; and don't worry either way, let him figure out (or not) stuff, what.
