ckang: the last bits he put up before getting his phone
taken
ckang: wishful
thinking on my part i suppose ;p
mircea_popescu: and whatelse,
the portland women are proper-er
than
the sf women and don't want
the sausage ?
ckang: hopefully
the portland bums are nicer
than
the SD bums and wont steal his stuff
ckang: and stay
there for days
ben_vulpes: hmk i emailed him but i'll get in
there
ckang: less
than 10 mins ago
mircea_popescu: ty ben_vulpes ; ckang : prolly by
tomorrow you can have it.
BingoBoingo: One of
the corner bums asked me not for una moneda para comer algo, but for clothing
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: sure
thing, will set
that up for you
this afternoon
ckang: someone did some
testing of performance on
the same hardware for wireguard vs openvpn on a consumer router:
phf: i
think it's a common caricature of late stage bureaucracy
though, one bureau watching another, which in
turn watches
the
third, etc.
mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if not a full half of
the aspirational 14% is firmly convinced
there's MORE
THAN ONE man hour / hour spent by me/usg/god/aliens/whoever specifically on
their case.
phf: i started humoring him, "that's what we do", "the hunter must hunt" etc. but
that might've been a mistake, because he got progressively more agitated, and i had
to depart out of fear of him getting violent
phf: following him
that is
phf: asciilifeform: couple of weeks ago a gentleman sat down at my
table at a capitol hill cafe and after a rather brief and unremarkable small
talk started asking me, why "you", which shortly
turned
to mean
the cia, are following me.

they didn't do
that,
they'd do "euro 5"

the extant blockchain are bastards.
the other concept is orphans -- blocks who have a parent in
the
tree, but no descendents at current height.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 16:29 avgjoe: other curiosity i've not found on logs: what does it means bastard block on
the debug.log?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 16:22 avgjoe: someone (not my server, but some other
trb instance) is going
to get from who
these blocks?
mircea_popescu:

this is both
the source of
the observation
that "bitcoin corrupts absolutely", ie, it is superlative
to anything
the usg can come up with ; and
the whole fucking point of
the protocol in
the first place. can
trust evil people
to do your shit, because bitcoin promises it will enforce upon
them
the dilemma "either be ENTIRELY impotent, or els
☝︎ mircea_popescu: the point of
trusted nodes isn't "don't link
to other nodes or bad
things weill happen".
the point is "always have
these in your connection
to stay sane", because a major attack vector
towards bitcoin is separation, ie get
two sets of nodes adrift in different realities.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 16:00 avgjoe: my question is: if i add nodes
that aren't on
the
trusted nodes list, what are
the risks?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 15:43 avgjoe: so i'd like
to ask what happens if
there are other "avgjoe" logged on irc and my client change a bit
the username
to log me in
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, it's not EXACTLY no reason. gotta keep
the market churning.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 13:38 ckang: most servers are going
to

this is what happens when you don't have phf's
three generations of bidet before piano.
phf: that darwin fish conversation was quite pleasant,
thanks for reposting it danielpbarron. i skipped it in logs, because of
the high
tit noise
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 16:29 BingoBoingo:
The node is unaware of
the block's parentage.
BingoBoingo: Show ends with Jack and Hannibal erotically slicing up
the FYIAD fellow and cliff diving
to presumed death or a cancelled fourth season of
their love story
BingoBoingo: There's also a made for
TV adaptation spanning
three seasons which no one has
time for in 2018
that
turns
the script into an overt love story between
the FBI profiler and
the Republican psychiatrist
to fill
time
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 18:26 mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, btw, ask darwin if he ever saw "beyond
the forest" ? possibly bette davis' best movie (which, predictably, she hated doing,
thought was
terrible when done, luckily for
the world jack warner existed and
the hallucinations of choice and self-determination of 1940s pantsuits went straight nowhere)
BingoBoingo: The
Tom Noonan fellow more
than makes up for Hopkins absence
mircea_popescu: yeahj
the red dragon script is
terribad, all
that woman-interest bs with 4tehchildrenz etc.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo, hard
to say no
to hopkins etc. << Sure, but
the original film has a much better deviant
mircea_popescu: that's my own explanation for myself as
to what has just happened
to me, for
the record. "the guy
thought..." in context.
mircea_popescu: and have you noticed how little PATRONIZING of gays is available on
the discoursive shelves of
today ?
mircea_popescu: good quality humour always includes a pinch
to heaping spoonfuls of ~providing something in short supply~.
the pantsuit
tards
translate
this as "speak
truth
to power", but it's utter bullshit.
the politics of humour are uninteresting from a humor-centered perspective ; but
the economics of humor are not -- because economics was blessed by god originally with
this and only
this its attribute : you will forever be field-relevan
trinque: lol yeah, serious gay vibes
throughout.
mircea_popescu: fabulous, right, because we weren't supposed
to notice madmax is gay interest for
the sort who "go viking".
mircea_popescu: trinque, : "I guess
the guy
thought Mad Max wasn't fabulous enough." <<
this.
this is where your divine nature shines
through. it's fucking perfect, i've been gasping for air
the past minute.

trinque, reviewed red dragon with girl yest,
there's
that scene when
the nut confronts blake's drawing, derpy museum guide in
the background "200 years old!". drew some laughs, fuck me, we held 800 yo manuscripts. europe is fulla

the original filmed version "Manhunter", Very 1980's product.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: It may be a good block, it it will have
to
try getting accepted again once
the node is aware of its daddy
avgjoe: other curiosity i've not found on logs: what does it means bastard block on
the debug.log?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: And Segwit can't in
the form
the Power Rangers settled on arbitrarily slice shit off of
transactions or blocks. Segwit is an opt-in evil. It can only
tickle your butthole if you let it in.
BingoBoingo: Segwit nodes usually have been bricked
to
the point of not successfully connecting
to
the Bitcoin network
avgjoe: so
the
trusted nodes list is more useful on
the initial startup when
there are a lot of blocks
to download and it'd be easier
to just have nodes
that doesn't send unnecessary info (like segwit payload)?
avgjoe: ok i understand, so i shouldn't worry if for instance i connect
to a segwit node, my node will
try
to chop off
the irrelevant parts of what it receive, correct?
BingoBoingo: If
the blocks are good,
they are Bitcoin Blocks. If not,
they are some sort of altcoin (but probably not capital A Altcoin) blocks
BingoBoingo: Maybe? Maybe not?
The question is do
the blocks validate as good.
avgjoe: someone (not my server, but some other
trb instance) is going
to get from who
these blocks?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <avgjoe> my question is: if i add nodes
that aren't on
the
trusted nodes list, what are
the risks? << Unknown, generally desirable
to get more connections.
The idea of
the list is
to provide a minimum number of non-evil nodes
to help you stay in civilized communion.

☟︎ avgjoe: so far is working properly on debian 9 just modifying
the repo (because stretch repo hasn't gcc 4.x)
avgjoe: then started
the bitcoind with LC_ALL=C in front of
the command and started syncing
avgjoe: after installing
the deps, i had
to set export CPPFLAGS="-P" , otherwise it fails in
the middle
avgjoe: ok, i just wanted
to report my experience installing
TRB. On debian stretch after installing all
the dependencies listed on
http://thebitcoin.foundation/trb-howto.html , i've modified on /etc/apt/sources.list
the repo
to
the jessie one,
then installed gcc and g++ 4.9,
then reversed back
to stretch
