mircea_popescu: i suppose it'd actually be better form to not publicize it so soon huh.
mircea_popescu: i think ima actually write a short qntra re this, thinking about it.
mircea_popescu: so if this is some "expert" hardware that does this stupid shit, we'll be seeing it again.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how do you mean it had 0 to do with 8ball ? it went because known factors not because paired with something neh ?
mircea_popescu: and in random news nobody cares about, the "republic of moldavia", romania's to "northern ireland" elected russian puppet guy president (igor dodon). putin's ridin' high.
mircea_popescu: and i also keep it a few dozen lines, so there is that.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yes, i add names manually. i see jackshit flying around lol.
mircea_popescu: davout pretty sure he's doing "la pen" because woman see.
mircea_popescu: and holy shit no you don't want to reuse dns server code oh my fucking god.
mircea_popescu: shows you the power of bias / mental fixation i guess ?
mircea_popescu: yeah, what can i tell you, as ingenious as walk. 10s of ks of years old.
mircea_popescu: we've been amply using this "alternate leg" climbing method to build towers.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yes, but communicatin by sending pgpgrams is already a simplified gossipd is the point.
mircea_popescu: the OTHER disaster of commons of the republican era is discussed on trilema re "you can't decide what's worth doing", if you recall that footnote.
mircea_popescu: it's a typical disaster of commons of the republican era - the needs and interests of people not here yet figure a lot less in the eyes of the present man than his immediate pulsion of lowest order. and in 10 years the choices so made become written in stone and the poor schmucks pay for them. it's sad but unsolvable.
mircea_popescu: at first, gossipd replaces the current "talk to servers to admin your strings" which happens, essentially, over substitute-email and
http-sessions. mircea_popescu: "but that part wouldn't be the first to relate. the part that'd first to relate is that you gotta talk to these servers to admin your strings"
mircea_popescu: and of course we managed this situation where half the conversation is here hjalf on trilema to maximally confuse the future interested party. ALL BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HAVE THE PATIENCE TO GET ANSWER THERE!111
mircea_popescu: there is EXACTLY ONE solution to "zooko's triangle" - and it is called gossipd. it works by crushing the socialist mind and its foul expectation of "any person is any person". not fucking so.
mircea_popescu: moreover, how do you handle splits ? maybe "trilema.com" should be owned by mp in mp's shadow and by whoever in some other space.
mircea_popescu: i suppose, but that part wouldn't be the first to relate. the part that'd first to relate is that you gotta talk to these servers to admin your strings. and well... talk over... what.
mircea_popescu: also, the customization is the job of the client not of the server. "you wanna use this - here's the standard" suffices.
mircea_popescu: and we're not playing the "bug for bug compatible" game.
mircea_popescu: it probably does because current dns software was written by goatfuckers.
mircea_popescu: there's no reason ~you~ should know aforehand what the dns servers will tell you to ask if you look for "string containing substring x" ; and the fact that you DO know who to ask for ".com" is just another sign of the above "some bs hacked together by people who didn't go to school for cs 30 yearsd ago"
mircea_popescu: it just correctly orthogonalizes the matter of delegation, which is dns internal cooking, and not the client's business.
mircea_popescu: also note that nothing in the discussed scheme prevents you from doing delegation. yiu can just decide to split on the basis of the last character ; or the last two.
mircea_popescu: they would have to be "the same" and "up to date" in the sense of dns "give it a day".
mircea_popescu: it doesn't "delegate", it caches. you know, like in sanity land, as opposed to some bs hacked together by people who didn't go to school for cs 30 yearsd ago.
mircea_popescu: it is up to your client to decide if the domain "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" should be queried as "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" or "OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" or ".." or "nasa.org" or whatnot. dns just answers queries, and nothing else.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-14#1566990 << there is no such thing as "tld". there's just strings. if you query r-dns for "fucksgoats" you get ip for "fucksgoats". if you query for "hurrdurr.fuckgoats" you get ip for "hurrdurr.fucksgoats". if you query for "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" you get ip for "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6".
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: myeah, the ombilical cord is also very unconvincing. pity, the anatomically correct representation of viscera drives a lot of visceral appeal.
mircea_popescu: this ted danson is just about ready to go the way of the other, practically out of the 18 month best-by date. or am i confusing the very famous with that britney durham chick whatever her name was ? the white trash "singer" / newswoman whatever ?
mircea_popescu: funny thing when an ed article is actually better on any reasonable scoring than anything the jewry spewed out on the topic.
mircea_popescu: people don't generally understand WHY amateur pornography is so popular ; they imagine like tlp it has to do with proper porn being boring or something. not so - it's just that cameras don't photohgraph odours.
mircea_popescu: but yes, congratulations are definitely in order for alf's foresight in implementing phuctor as he did. w/o the 8ball that module'd have never fallen.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's a pretty bad film, but it does typify a mental condition which, lulzily, believed itself normalcy for a brief period in the early 21st century.
mircea_popescu: b (the various bfs of the slut) and obviously mostly gay.
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz of a strictly for-expert-entomologists nature, this "opposite of sex" movie is the epitome of jew fantasy land. the whole thing is driven by women, of the irresponsible and mercenary "it's my sweet body and i'll smoke if i want to" (christina ricci) type vs utter unbelievable nag who thinks herself in charge (lisa kudrow). the men are at best ineffectual and spineless (the policeman) or otherwise utterly dum
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : marcel lazar (allegedly, guccifer), repatriated to romania.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no i just meant, why write to them/qntra etc, it's in the log, good enough.
