I know I'm an outsider, but I've been on here long enough to say this: The 86 club has *failed*.

One advantage to not doing sats and sharing you are unemployed and broke, is that it is a great filter for opportunists who are in it for financial advantage rather than a thirst for knowledge. Opportunists will barter feigned interest for cold hard cash (or sats). They will sell anything, do anything, often working from offshore farms of internet workers. Even less extreme, but probably more dangerous to the biosphere, is the cultural movers and shakers in modernity, that will sell the heart of the earth for another day in power. All becomes a shell game to hide their true nature, even from themselves, but underneath, the numbers don't lie. We are a cancer on the earth: A related journal entry of mine from 1987: 1987-03-09 ▪ Memory ▪ Highway Men Yvette and I had lived at our apartment together for a little over a month. We were playing gin on the carpet and listening to Yvette’s Gigantes Del Jazz tape, when we heard a knock on the door. It was dark outside. I opened the door, and the wind blew some rain into the light coming from our apartment. A thin man that looked kind like my uncle Steve, with a full mustache and a two-week old beard pleaded, “My car broke down, and I need to call a tow. Can I use your phone?” I said, “Sure, and pointed him to the phone in the opposite corner of the apartment next to the kitchen.” Yvette stood near the kitchen table, next to the phone. Along the wall opposite of the front door was a homemade book case with twenty or so books. On the floor, against the wall perpendicular to the door, was Yvette’s Sears Sound System: an integrated amp, turntable and tape deck, with a small speaker on either side. That was all we had. We didn’t even have a couch, yet. That would come later, courtesy of Sammy. Spread across the carpet was our gin rummy game. Yvette handed the man the handle of our phone, which was mounted on the wall. The man took the phone and held it against his chest as another man entered the apartment and closed the door. They looked around our apartment, and with a look of disgust they both left. They didn’t even try to call anybody (or pretend). They just gave the phone back to Yvette and left.

Quick status vid on Logical Map Technical Reference. I'll roll in "Idempotent Monte Carlo Replication" #imcr as I figure it out. #lmtr

Large numbers are hard for humans. It is kind of like how crows can count, but not that high. So, when you are looking at large numbers related to the biosphere, relative human time segments on earth, fossil fuels, energy, and minerals, look to experts that are familiar with large numbers.

I think I'll call "chaos chain" "Idempotent Monte Carlo Replication", because of keyword association, or just #imcr. Every node is a hub. I'd need to discover a host to function as a hub and replicate. Since this is for local network convergence:

The 1 sat zap folks will not adjust for deflation. That is not the point (Says Captain Obvious).

What was #PKD tapped into with Exegesis: evidence of a super-collective-unconscious or literal pink light of gnosis? We circle in divisive debate in our #civilization, and proclaim narrow and two dimensional battles, but there is a huge, rich tapestry here. I'm not a fan of #modernity and our certainty, so it is unfair for me to jump in to modernity-centered battles. I return back to questioning the whole 6,000 year platform.

Why Philip K. Dick's Exegesis is one of the strangest books ever written

In February and March 1974, Dick had several irrational, mystical or revelatory experiences that occupied him for the remainder of his life.

It has been *a long* time since I downloaded a tarball, ran make, and make install and all works. Kudos to the #unison team (mostly Benjamin Pierce, correct?). Some products do get simpler over time.

All I got done today on #lmtr is some mods to the CSS for the code blocks. I spent too much time on social media. Good discussion, but no progress on my work. I'm starting to consider #OfflineFirst . Can I use #unison with a hub/spoke or even chaotic chain?

Floppy PNGs could be chaotically collected. #Unison would sync to wherever/whenever. The filename format would work.

This amazing piece of hardware has survived decades. It was considered garbage in 2004. It has an old Fujitsu/Siemens Pentium 3 motherboard that just won't die. I'm using it as an edge case to test my software (the web apps are a big fail because it won't even do SSE2, but I can extract Floppy PNGs just fine).

What gives me the right to comment on complex data and material supply chains? Well, I started building this homebrew #z80 computer in 1980 using point-to-point solder.

"What can you do?" If your answer is that you can use an always connected, insanely deep information data supply chain running on an insanely deep material supply chain, then you function as a corporate puppet vs. an untethered agent with a cognitive exoskeleton.

Every time @HODL starts his "no more popping tags on my socks" memetic circus tricks when bitcoin plunges, I think of this song.

I've been leaning heavily on #deno as my monolithic dev/scripting tool. It has a decent formatter for many different types of documents, not just JavaScript. I did a dump of the JSON AST for #pandoc and formatted it with deno fmt, and it is much easier to understand.

not so resilient

I finally watched the documentary Feels Good Man. Besides the illuminating story (I was isolated culturally as this emerged), the meme background was fascinating.
