11:07 shinohai I am observing new trb node I hadn't seen previously, from "Mir Telematiki Ltd" .... is phf?
11:17 mircea_popescu in other lulz, http://allmonitors.net/
11:18 mircea_popescu the "forum investment" crowd build its SECOND layer of indirection. now there's a meta-meta-checker, because "Some HYIP programs may leave only good status seals on their sites and remove or forge bad once. With our site you may check all HYIP monitors of any HYIP. Also some HYIP monitors may accept 'special monitor' plans, may promote SCAM. That is why we have monitor ranking."
11:21 mircea_popescu (amusingly, advertising page "We accept Perfect Money only." ; and their stats are something else lmao : http://allmonitors.net/adstat/
~ 22 minutes ~
11:43 asciilifeform shinohai: iirc that was 1 of mircea_popescu's
11:44 asciilifeform ( tho not necessarily, it's a fairly big ru isp )
11:47 shinohai kk, just hadn't seen it show up in my daily nodes check before. (Nice to see 10 nodes online however)
11:50 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'remove or forge bad once' << lol, apparently even used the mandatory spamglish ( where idea is that reader with 3 neurons to rub together stops reading in <5sec, and doesn't waste the scammer's time)
11:51 mircea_popescu it's kind-of an interesting object from an anthropologists' pov. sorta like the klein bottle for the analytic geometer i guess.
11:52 mircea_popescu i mean, i can't fucking predict, what next, FOURTH indirection layer ? doing what exactly, it destroys meaning, how can you distinguish between a meta-monitor and a meta-meta-monitor ?
11:56 asciilifeform !#s little fleas
11:56 a111 12 results for "little fleas", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=little%20fleas

11:57 BingoBoingo Per http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-30#1890783 I will be proceeding to the basement to emplace a new rockchip in the pilot plant and extract the old one. No downtime is anticipated, but I cannot completely rule out the possibility.
11:57 a111 Logged on 2019-01-30 17:48 BingoBoingo: I am planning to emplace the new Rockchip tomorrow. No downtime is planned, but removing the old and placing the new is going to take some dexterity.
11:58 asciilifeform ty BingoBoingo , lemme know when it's ready for the smoketest
11:58 BingoBoingo Will do
11:59 asciilifeform btw this is a 4GB rk. and moved in record time, also, <6d from gringostan to BingoBoingo
12:00 mircea_popescu nb.
12:01 mircea_popescu do you have a battery of molestation tests at emergence end ?
12:01 BingoBoingo The dead RK will be packaged for transit to alf's testbench
12:02 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: thing doesn't (as far as anyone knows) contain any writables on board. so test of new unit is limited to BingoBoingo's visual inspection and the ordinary smoke test.
12:02 mircea_popescu alrighty.
12:02 BingoBoingo It will be photographed extensively before entering the mail.
12:02 BingoBoingo Headed out the door.
12:02 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: snap a photo of the new one plox also.
12:02 asciilifeform both sides.
12:03 BingoBoingo Ok, stopping to photograph
12:04 mircea_popescu could one identify a lifted chip by comparing board photos ?
12:04 asciilifeform incidentally, re molestations -- asciilifeform's ad hoc xray box suxx balls, 20kV doesn't penetrate anyffin, even the oil around the tube. i'm considering getting a proper ( with adjustable voltage, and closable banksafe-style shield box ) industrial board xrayer.
12:05 asciilifeform originally intended just for the bolix, but nao thinking it'd make for a decent added molestation search for certain items.
12:06 BingoBoingo New RK photo'd headed out the door
12:06 asciilifeform can , for instance, determine whether solder has been reflowed ( given a control photo )
12:08 mircea_popescu definitely some penetration would help there.
12:08 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the tricky part is that 'just get dentist's' dunwork, ~over~penetration is problem for pcb.
12:09 mircea_popescu (it's a decent paranoid thought, this -- that the ban on lead solder is because nobus, otherwise trivial to identify lead wave patterns in the solder with small xray)
12:09 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: they work a++ on pbfree just the same
12:09 asciilifeform if you set the kilovolt knob to the right spot.
12:09 mircea_popescu do they ?
12:10 * mircea_popescu never saw one. only saw old pb ones in a diff time
12:10 asciilifeform they do, it's how bga work is done
12:10 mircea_popescu ah okay.
12:10 asciilifeform ( added bonus, could rework bga... )
12:10 mircea_popescu paranoia doesn't pay.
12:10 asciilifeform lol except when does
12:11 mircea_popescu you know ?
12:11 mircea_popescu "just because your paranoia doesn't pay doesn't mean paranoia doesn't pay"!!!
12:11 asciilifeform it's a sort of vegas, but imho moar interesting.
12:11 mircea_popescu higher stakes, too
12:12 mircea_popescu vegas only does money.
12:12 asciilifeform will be interesting to find out, e.g., which 'this is a straight usb cable, honest' actually contain chips
12:12 asciilifeform and so on
12:12 mircea_popescu i thought video was the fave spot.
12:12 asciilifeform historically
12:12 asciilifeform https://archive.is/rfYsS << see also.
12:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the real bitch is that one is stuck doing old-fashioned b&w chemistry for each shot ( there are digital sensors, but they cost like toyota.. )
12:23 mircea_popescu well, once pizarro gets a buncha customers toyota might be a good investment.
12:23 asciilifeform indeed
12:24 asciilifeform i did obtain a crate of 'polaroid'-style self-developing films (and, i shit thee not, 'made in UAE') but they're tiny 35mm things. intended to put in mouth, for teeth.
12:25 asciilifeform for some uses this actually suffices tho.
12:26 asciilifeform ( loox like a kind of opaque condom, with film in it. after exposing, you hand-massage the thing and it develops. )
12:26 mircea_popescu there's larger mouth film, they do panoramics for fitting dentures
12:26 asciilifeform there is indeed. can even get a3-sized film. but ordinary, rather than polaroidistic.
12:29 mircea_popescu hm
12:29 asciilifeform iirc we actually had a thread re solder-as-seals. (or possibly meat convo at c2?)
12:29 asciilifeform after reflow, 'all the king's horses and all the king's men' cannot make the ball look exactly as prev.
12:30 mircea_popescu there was a whole thing re seals at c2.
12:39 asciilifeform seals imho are a very interesting subj, ~after~ one subtracts the homeopathy and outright disinfo
12:40 mircea_popescu just like everything else.
12:41 mircea_popescu cooking and fucking, and math and plumbing, and carpentry and horsehandling and fucking canoe paddling.
12:42 asciilifeform verily
12:44 mircea_popescu clean the amateurs off a field, suddenly it becomes something a man could take an interest in and enjoy doing so.
12:49 asciilifeform meanwhile in latrine-america high tech , http://ru-ar.ru/bolivia/2014-07-20(162)bolivia.jpg
12:49 BingoBoingo asciilifeform and others, new Rockchip is in place
12:50 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: appears to work
12:51 asciilifeform logged in nao.
12:51 asciilifeform ty BingoBoingo
12:51 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: feel free to peel off heatsink before sending off the dead unit
12:51 asciilifeform it can be spare
12:51 BingoBoingo ty, withdrawing
12:51 asciilifeform that was pretty fast.
~ 25 minutes ~
13:17 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Well I brought a set of small brown hands that take instruction to hold the pilot plant in place when it was unscrewed from the posts.
13:19 BingoBoingo With substantial clamps and scaffolding it could have been a one person job
13:23 BingoBoingo brb, meat

13:52 asciilifeform speaking of BingoBoingo's harems, whatever happened to that other one
13:52 asciilifeform the 1 from ukrazuela
13:53 BingoBoingo Sheltering in place at Mom's house with the dogs
13:53 asciilifeform still resists evacuation eh
13:54 BingoBoingo Nevermind that as latinos that can do international aviation with cedulas, apparently mom needs a passport. I suspect someone in the family is unhealthily attached to the 6 gar garage.
13:55 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: does it actually contain 6car ?
13:56 BingoBoingo One car, immobile. Several orcycles and scooters of which 1 or two function at any given time.
13:56 asciilifeform nuts
13:57 BingoBoingo Mega fence, mega dog, small orchard. Typical middle class qatari home.

20:22 asciilifeform mod6: neato
20:22 asciilifeform hm i thought jurov lived in germany nowadays
20:22 mod6 Ah, thanks asciilifeform.
20:23 mod6 No clue, tbh.
20:23 asciilifeform mod6: iirc he moved coupla yrs ago, it was in the log
20:24 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: iirc in usa they traditionally use sugar, rather than salt, for these.. ( why -- i do not know )

20:51 mircea_popescu o look at that, us-istan reads just like 1989s romania.
20:53 mircea_popescu o check it out, jurov moving. i wonder where to ?
20:55 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i was digging for that 1 trilema piece where 'the housewife... waits until wolf's hour of night to cook the food, that's when gas pressure' but didn't in o(1) find

20:57 asciilifeform aa!
20:57 asciilifeform yes that one
20:57 mircea_popescu this shared search thing works quite well huh.
20:58 asciilifeform tho for somereason i thought i read it in an engl one
20:59 mircea_popescu possibru it exists also in translation
21:03 asciilifeform was apparently here http://trilema.com/2017/%D0%9A%D1%82%D0%BE-%D1%82%D1%8B-%D0%BF%D0%BE-%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B8/#selection-151.0-185.218
21:07 asciilifeform for bonus lulz, the gas infrastructure of these people (gringostan, not shoemaker's ro, i cannot comment re the latter) is a lul. not even to mention the fact that they pretend to also ~export~...
21:07 asciilifeform leaks on erry other street intersection ( and for years at a time, folx call'em in, diggers dig, 3days later again leak )
21:08 asciilifeform or the pumping stations ( unmarked on maps, cuz 'strategic', but quite visible from street )
21:08 asciilifeform 1 , not far from asciilifeform , used to have 3 concentric concertina fences ( dunno whether minefield b/w or not ) , then coupla yrs ago all but 1 removed , i suspect they got tired of painting 3
21:09 asciilifeform or when they switched from iron pipe to corrugated aluminum + rubber hose ( yes exactly like one sees on sovok kitchen stoves, but ~buried~ and km-length )
21:10 asciilifeform and whoknows what else, i'm not even aficionado of subj
21:10 mircea_popescu pretty sad.
21:11 mircea_popescu truth of the matter is, natgas is actually ~quite abrasive~, esp in climates where it cools significantly.
21:11 mircea_popescu how the fuck they expect to make those pipes work is anyone's guess. "rubber", as fucking if.

22:35 a111 Logged on 2019-01-30 16:10 asciilifeform: imho the only possible arg against it is if you have e.g. 2 hands but 500 worth of process. but evidently jurov , trinque , et al had <= 2 hands worth
