a misery, women are
a misery, work is
a misery, taxes are
a misery, the only things to live for are theorems and killing hitler"
mircea_popescu: "What is almost nonexistent is the childfree housewife -
a woman who does not do market labor, is supported by her husband, but does not have children." << bullshit ; slavegirl counts here.
mircea_popescu: and even then they barely bothered ; and generally the children lived as slaves / war captives. (see the duke of perigord's adventures for
a fine example of this)
mircea_popescu: even someone as clueless as
a medieval noble needed the entire arbitrary structure of male inheritance to be marginally bothered with it,
pete_dushenski: my little bruiser is... still
a bruiser. no convergence to the mean just yet.
pete_dushenski: eh children aren't so bad. hell, i don't even mind work these days. taxes and women ? let's just call them
a challenge to be risen to.
ben_vulpes: "children are
a misery, women are
a misery, work is
a misery, taxes are
a misery, the only things to live for are theorems and killing hitler"
☟︎ ben_vulpes: usians are generally too broke to maintain
a woman much less
a family, news at eleven?
Framedragger: The Web trivialized this original Xanadu model, vastly but incorrectly simplifying these problems to
a world of fragile ever-breaking one-way links, with no recognition of change or copyright, and no support for multiple versions or principled re-use. Fonts and glitz, rather than content connective structure, prevail.""" <- sorry i get sentimental easily :/
☟︎ Framedragger: """It has always been much more ambitious, proposing an entire form of literature where links do not break as versions change; where documents may be closely compared side by side and closely annotated; where it is possible to see the origins of every quotation; and in which there is
a valid copyright system--
a literary, legal and business arrangement-- for frictionless, non-negotiated quotation at any time and in any amount.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-19 15:14 mircea_popescu: Framedragger doesn't mean much more than, "the correct path is to take
a decent crypto lib,
a distributed-hashtable-storage thing from one of the p2p torrent tools, and make
a real social media app"
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re.
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-19#1468545 i spoke with smart folk and i'll consider writing
a short design document of some kind, for general and specific criticism. fair warning, will also use that opportunity to to enquire how it can be funded by tmsr / whateva. because can't hurt.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: dayum. one of the best parts of not sending girls out to gym is that you can generally take
a break and watch one torture herself.
Framedragger: vc: it's cool that you don't preemptively block tor. (on that note, fuck cloudflare with
a thousand rakes).
vc: right now the site just filled up
a few minutes ago, there is still space left for memory and everything, but the storage is already sold
vc: ok sure, mircea_popescu is this
a time-sensitive request? I would prefer to wait until I get all the other services running and analyze the storage situation before I commit to another 120GB of storage
vc: (I'm trying to figure out whether your bitcoin network is the most popular bitcoin network or
a hard fork of another network)
mircea_popescu: and
a bunch of scammers running
a faux foundation, also. vessenes & merck et al
vc: I understand that this is
a branch of some type from the typical doings of what I know as the bitcoin foundation
vc: ok is this like
a fork of the main bitcoin network?
vc: is this just
a modified bitcoind instance? or something else?
vc: let me do
a bit more research first before I accept your money, want to be sure everything will be fine
vc: I do not know what
a trb node is
mircea_popescu: tell you what : i'll buy that, and pay it in advance for
a year, provided you install and manage
a trb node there.
vc: meaning you may be able to get
a better deal elsewhere
vc: only the 4GB server with 120GB storage would be able to store that, though if running
a bitcoind node is your intention then using pure SSD storage may be wasted potential
mircea_popescu: i am asking you, if i intend to run
a btc node, ie,
a blockchain's worth of gb etc, what's the solution cock.li offers
mircea_popescu: ah, right, prolly should get
a node. hey vc what do you recommend for bitcoin node ? vps carry it ?
Framedragger: vc: paid for
a vps, lemme know if box 'hivc' becomes
a nuisance in terms abuse complaints, willya :)
mircea_popescu: the system's been around for decades ; i fucked
a bunch in my day. recently they tried to close the thing down, arrested gals by the pail, but... from what i hear it didn't take.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: listen, romanian tv exists ~ for
a single reason : so
a group of like minded twentysomething chicks can advertise they're available. goes ~500 bucks unless you're very weird.
☟︎☟︎ vc: I am colocating, and yes physical security is
a serious consideration ;)
mircea_popescu: vc it sends you
a link, it contains
a pgp encrypted thing, you decrypt it and feed it back as $v blabla
vc: I don't really know anything I don't like, though I did see
a gypsy shitting in the street about
a month ago, that was pretty unsettling
vc: I went with an older friend who was
a government official before he retired
mircea_popescu: sounds like
a plan eh. so what's your favourite romanian dish ?
vc: (after
a 6 year relationship, so it's not like I was jumping in feet-first)
vc: I almost got married though
a couple years ago
vc: I dream of
a world where I incorporate cock.li and operate and expand
a semi-trolling corporation
vc: I have lots of experience as
a linux sysadmin, which helps ;)
phf: "Despite what some may tell you, cock.li does not tolerate abuse of its servers. [...] Due to my privacy policy which protects my user's data, you will probably not receive
a response." nice
vc: I have literally 0 experience running
a VPS provider
vc: the server hardware I purchased can host
a maximum of 280 clients with some more memory and disk space, so after I get it up and running and stable then I'm probably going to go for that
mircea_popescu: do you plan to pivot from corporate life to independence with it ? or is it just
a hobby on the side ? for the lulz ? for the whats ?
vc: someone registered on my public E-mail server and sent threats through my service, I was the only public face other than the police or the school district so I was subject to
a lot of media attention
mircea_popescu: i lived there for
a few years. 2nd bitcoin conference also held there (timisoara). meanwhile though, moved to argentina.
vc: it's also very cheap to live here, considering I still work for
a US company
vc: mircea_popescu: I dropped out because I was at
a shit university and also I had
a job where I was making as much as with
a degree so I didn't really see the point
pete_dushenski: "The Romania-based e-mail admin concluded his video with this proclamation: "It’s raining dicks right now. And the forecast isn’t that good either. There’s
a 90 percent chance of dicks tonight and
a 90 percent chance of dicks tomorrow."" << gggggold
pete_dushenski: ah k. well i'd rather share
a chick than eat anything with hollandaise on it. but maybe i'm not from the right part of the mediterranean.
mircea_popescu: the eggs are drenched in hollandaise ; if two guys fuck
a gal it's hard to avoid getting cum on your ballsac.
mircea_popescu: really, the whole exercise is more of
a "here\s just how fucking useless your civil registry is" than anything
a111: Logged on 2016-05-25 13:05 BingoBoingo: Well yes. Chicago is
a shithole.
pete_dushenski: hehe. so what you thought was evidence really wasn't and what you thought was upheaval really wasn't. beautiful, really. the whole charade can't even stand up to
a simple registry check despite centuries of dedicated revisionism
a111: Logged on 2016-05-24 12:05 mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski wait, you had
a PANDA baby ?!
phf: i seem to have
a highly useful skill of missing out on b-
a drama
mircea_popescu: and then they had
a dispute and the court actually bought the notion one's not copied off the other.
mircea_popescu: such
a pile of shit. the ancient bbsessionhash as unique session identifier has been renamed to xf_session and that's the extent of the changes.
mircea_popescu: how to get all user credentials for any xenforo forum ? put
a box in promiscuous mode en route and listen to the fucking posts.
mircea_popescu: prolly so. besides, i'm thinking the correct way to handle the whole $bash thing is to have
a sort of wot-aws equivalent.
ben_vulpes: worth
a chuckle and an invitation to the wot methinks
mircea_popescu: shinohai well, the usg party is ever less confident they'll get much over
a summer of forks ; "ethereum is good" was the backup.
mircea_popescu: labour was so ill esteemed it was actually worth someone's time to take out
a shirt front off
a shirt and hem in
a replacement.
trinque: apparently an inanimate thing can have
a mindset because somebody put some words together
trinque: Ethereum has
a growth mindset while Bitcoin has
a false sense of accomplishment << wahahahaha
mircea_popescu: in other news, france saw over 500k arrests in 2007, which is to say 1% of the population was arrested THAT YEAR, or, if things continue at the same rate, ~everyone then alive'd have
a better chance to be arrested rather than not be, during his lifetime.
Framedragger: now i'll try scaleway / online.net and i don't use them for anything else so i'm fine with being banned. they said OK to my "responsible academic scanning" query. doesn't mean they'll follow through. but i'll just keep scanning / doing ssh extraction there, and rsyncing often, so that if/when i get eventually banned this wouldn't be
a problem.
mircea_popescu: i rented
a [vps/dedicated/colocated] machine from X, i sent
a total of Y packets of so and so in Z interval ; they <changed my logs and stole my remaining time|sent me support ticket complaining|etc>"
mircea_popescu: i still can't piece this together. let's try
a sane example format :
Framedragger: ah - sorry for not being specific - no i ceased activities,and they were fine. OVH i didn't even try, i sent
a query first like
a good house guest
Framedragger: more or less same from hetzner, digital ocean, and
a local lithuanian provider which i've been using for
a few years
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: have you considered serving all phuctor public stuff on
a static frontend proxy of sorts?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ahh, isn't it refreshing, to be in
a place where they hafta say that ?
Framedragger: yeah korine is an interesting guy. the film itself is random as fuck. literally folks humping trash, and just doing other bizarre things throughout film. i'd say it's an intereseting experience, to watch it i mean, but i believe when i watched it i was on
a bit of acid. dunno how it would have got with me being completely sane..
mircea_popescu: the whole impetuus of, say, romeo and juliet is the respective famblies going "op is garbage!!1". the lady an' the tramp is pretty much the "modern democracy" attempt at subverting and perhaps reclaiming the trite truth of the previous generations, ie, that nothing gets
a gent going quite like the lady's maid.
mircea_popescu: anyway, garbage has
a tense relationship with sexuality.
Framedragger: [fwiw yeah +1 for tinder, though it does use effin facebook last i checked, etc etc, one more thing to re-build in
a non-shitty fashion....]
mircea_popescu: don't make me put the sheeny curse on you so you end up having to go back and back again for
a decade!
mircea_popescu: put yourself in tinder or whatever they use, "wise cosmopolitan gentleman (visited buenos aires! and timisoara!) with lots of dough to burn looking for local belle to show me
a good time."
