asciilifeform: if sewer systems were introduced for the first time in today's usa, they would be an exotic and unobtainable thing. because would be unfair!!!11!! to 'private enterprise' fleets of honeywagons carting shit away for a dollar a turd.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, whoever else: has anyone taken an interest in actually making the turd vaguely usable? namely, plugging the leaks (yes, all of them) and zapping the idiotic db corruption (supposedly 'rare': http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/2051)

asciilifeform: ^ not turd. why? didn't have to run on toy computer in paupers' bedrooms.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that particular piece was written while waiting for a locked-up msword turd on a usg slavemachine, also running mandatory usg antivirus, which wedged the disk

asciilifeform: mod6: custom fs doesn't require an os-level turd, just a raw block device that the process is permitted to r/w.

asciilifeform: if we're talking about a humbler turd that runs on unix, it'd take /dev/sdwhateverthefuck'

asciilifeform: 30+gb << 40gB was the turd upon croaking

asciilifeform read that useless piece re: herr omidyar, kept waiting for it to mention his specialty as no. 1 hoarder and withholder of snowden turd. then saw that article is by 'greenwald, poitras, ...'

asciilifeform: incidentally, turd exhausts ram even if left to suffer in its attempt to fetch blocks

asciilifeform: modular db << sounds pleasurable, but this requires massive re-engineering of satoshi's turd.

asciilifeform: turd sans scatole is still turd.

asciilifeform: undata: 'this' being the overall affair of transmuting the 0.5.3 turd into a usable weapon

asciilifeform: turd on lathe requires liquid helium refrigerant to stay solid.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you want polished turd, buy a girl who knows cpp, 'valgrind', gdb, understands memory discipline, can implement bdb replacement ab initio, knows ecdsa mechanics, etc, etc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: those 12 errors look like 6-10 different holes << also please remember that there is no deterministic full-walk test for this turd orchestra.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a cpp turd that also depends on similarly buggy cpp turds

asciilifeform: to finish off my 'sword into the stone' speech - yes, i can do this. (turd lathe.) but - if i were to put in the time required, the hour would soon come that i could not pay electric bill. and then s.nsa, and turdatron, will have to summon the gnome rumplestilskin to work in my stead. while i boil in whatever pot in hell moiety and pankkake are cooking in.

asciilifeform: in other news, turd firmly wedged at block height 252450. ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: why are we polishing turd again...?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ever plugged the leak in your secret magic turd?

asciilifeform: does phoundation's latest turd leak?

asciilifeform: left turd syncing overnight, at bh ~= 252450, exhausted ram (8g)

asciilifeform: that's a turd!

asciilifeform: and, unrelated, whoever was asking about chain-fork alarm, that's still in the turd. the thing that was nixed was the gavintron.

asciilifeform: aaand... latest (no. 4) turd - builds, fetches blocks, appears to function

asciilifeform: no one knows of a cpp to html-concordance gizmo that isn't a steaming turd ?

asciilifeform: lxr << what a turd! wants 'apache', and to be a server, etc.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: might want to do a live-fire test on latest turd

asciilifeform: 'The site has headlines such as "Why The Future Of Anonymous Browsing Lies In Hardware," ' << lol! even after 'kickstarter' threw out the turd?

asciilifeform mailed in a turd

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu << i must point out that the turd's merely been chucked onto the turdlathe. no one as of yet solved anything.

asciilifeform: golden turd corp. - will build anything, yes.

asciilifeform: traditionally, it is not unreasonable to demand that a patch not annihilate the buildability of the overall turd.

asciilifeform: ancient usenet turd

asciilifeform: (massive pdf turd)

asciilifeform: the 'chicken' turd i posted, plus the last day or so of log

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as kakobrekla pointed out, this cannot be established - at least, quite certainly not given the extant turd.

asciilifeform: i'd throw it in 'nosuchlabs.com' but the turd lathe undertaking isn't really mine.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: point is not to simply disable flag, but to whittle down the turd bitwise

asciilifeform: frozen turd on lathe.

asciilifeform: nubbins`: surgery was minor shave. just to demonstrate concept of what kind of turd jurov's turdomatic ought to accept

asciilifeform: and the turd's 'GetPerformanceCounter()' actually uses unix epoch time on non-winblows systems.

asciilifeform: anybody else here built the test turd?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: tried building the turd from earlier?

asciilifeform: linked turd is fresh but includes only a simple turd excision - removal of qt

asciilifeform: meaning, we may as well be asking folks to run arbitrary binary turd that mr. sp4mz0r built in his cellar, for winblows 98.

asciilifeform: if we have a meg of extraneous turd in a diff, then we're in 'infinity' in the one, two, three, infinity hierarchy of being.

asciilifeform is floored by the stink of the turd he's stepped in

asciilifeform: i want people to see what i spoke of when said 'cannot polish turd'

asciilifeform: want to delete turd by path.

asciilifeform: try it with just a dir with a turd from /dev/null in it.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and i can drop me turd there

asciilifeform: undata: better destroy the designer of the turd (broadcom)

asciilifeform: it spews turd.

asciilifeform: what was the turd in 0.6 that made us stop short of it ?

asciilifeform: pinpoint - no. approximately tell if they're running hearn turd - yes.
