10:21 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 .
10:23 asciilifeform https://archive.is/V18OJ << subj. 1200×825.
10:23 asciilifeform also worx as desktop display ( prolly would need a kernel framebuffer diddle tho )
10:25 asciilifeform item did not exist 2wks ago ( asciilifeform has a semi-automated process to look for certain things if they happen to be born )
10:29 asciilifeform ( you won't play 'doom' on a 1hz monitor, but e.g. emacs , will work )
10:31 asciilifeform these items have partial redraw, so in principle text-based items would work properly.
10:35 mircea_popescu hola!
10:50 mod6 board without solderings. theoretically a lappy can be hand-sewn .
10:50 mod6 whoops.
10:50 mod6 mornin'
10:52 mod6 that's pretty neat alf
10:52 Mocky eink display is quite interesting. i've been a fan for some time, still using 2nd gen kindle to this day
~ 26 minutes ~
11:18 BingoBoingo Nice find
11:32 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
11:36 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.
11:36 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
11:37 asciilifeform not as if spew is that readable even on fast display
11:37 asciilifeform spew is rubbish, if the contents are important you'll buffer'em
11:37 Mocky quite so
11:39 asciilifeform Mocky: the contents of my lcd's, move very little, would quite handily work on 'epaper'. if it came in metre size..
11:44 asciilifeform the upstack item however is mainly of interest to laptopists -- as it draws 0 current when not updating.
11:49 asciilifeform in other lulz, the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-19#1852183 lulgem develops into https://archive.is/Ooj6I

13:59 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

18:32 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... )
18:34 asciilifeform meanwhile, in very very other lulz,
18:34 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.'

20:52 mircea_popescu there is a legitimate argument for lng, which is : traditional liquid hydrocarbon cocktails auto-ignite in the 200-250 range.
20:52 mircea_popescu methane autoignites >500.
20:53 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.
20:53 mircea_popescu requires turbo, of course.

21:58 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
21:58 mod6 My teeth actually hurt, and I think that's the weirdest part.
21:58 lobbes couldn't hurt to see a dentist
21:59 mod6 damn lobbes, that sounds horribru

22:00 BingoBoingo Congrats on living mod6
22:02 mod6 Thanks, Sir.
22:02 mod6 lobbes: yeah, that shit tends to linger too.
22:02 mod6 i got hit by a car back in 2005 and it took nearly 10 years to get better.
22:03 mod6 i mean not constant pain, but pretty bad for the first 2-3 years after that.
