douchebag: I'd like
to be helpful, I am generally a pretty helpful person. However, I just feel like I could be of more use if I focused on something I'm better suited
to help with
douchebag: No, I constantly put effort
towards learning more and improving my skills as well as my self.
mircea_popescu: you understand most people aren't ~born~ stupid, but become stupid
through systematic effort over long intervals. do you ?
mircea_popescu: that it will force you
to abandon your current mental rut. hopefully before it does any permanent damage.
douchebag: It would not be unpleasant if it had not already been done before multiple
times, what's
the point of reinventing
the wheel?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i get it, it's hard and especially unpleasant in
that it requires your getting off your ass, and god forbid confronting
the unpleasant side of
things. hurr.
mircea_popescu: the whole point, not just of
the "write a v"
task, but of
the republic altogether, is
to make
this sort of non-thinking you're going for both ridiculous and impossible.
mircea_popescu: whether you're skilled or not has no bearing on
this whole "area of expertise" nonsense. i've been writing for
twenty years, doesn't mean i'll sit with my laptop while
the girls eat each other out because fucking "isn't my area of expertise".
douchebag: I've been focused on web application security for
the past decade, just becase I'm only 20 doesn't mean I'm not skilled.
douchebag: others have written V implementations
that would be much better
than
the one I would write.
douchebag: Alright, I still haven't written a V implementation. I would like
to help, however programming is not my main area of expertise. I feel like writing a V implementation would not waste my
time, but yours as well considering d
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ftr, it's euphEmisms and venezuEla. are your voewls shifting from all
the
tuna you're eating or what!
☟︎ BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: "no resolve" sounds like a side effect of
the DNS settings allowing NFS
to do its
thing not pointing at an NFS doing its
thing as advertised
hanbot: it's not even
the shitpay hook or
the nonsupport in
themselves, abhorrent as
they are. it's
their marriage, wtf is "maybe not reallybut" doing in a yes/no switch.
hanbot: mircea_popescu>
the part where you leave customers unsupported is not anything
to do with bitpay. << right,
that's fucking DMV-level villainy.
mircea_popescu: the part where you leave customers unsupported is not anything
to do with bitpay.
mircea_popescu: very much a case of ye olde "i'll gladly spend
thousands
to fuck you up if you're not willing
to
take pennies
to suck my cock". makes perfect sense, dunnit ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the reason
they even need "ddos protection" is, for what it's work, RIGHT FUCKING HERE.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes can
that vps
thing be live already before everyone has
to waste EVEN MORE
TIME down
the imperial drain already ?
hanbot is livid, mostly at self for having used anything buttpay supportive in
the first place.
hanbot: wtf does "i'll
try
this out" even mean in
the broad world
these days aside from "i guess i'll see how x would like
to fuck me over"
mircea_popescu: basically
they scammed you out of whatever,
three months' work or w/e, exactly like facebook or whoever ?
hanbot: so nearlyfreespeech hosting's insistence on using buttpay plays out like so:
thewhet.net is offline, i can't make a payment
to get it back online (precious addy must stay at home and hide under
the blankets!!1), and i can't
talk
to 'em, cause low and behold
the support subscription (which i'd been paying for for many months) expired so my
ticket is pegged for
the
trash, please pay
to
talk into
the clownmouth.
mircea_popescu: idiots biologically unfit
to
the world as it presented itself 1mya,
that's how far
this "security and respect" paradigm sunk us.
mircea_popescu: strictly unplumbable,
the depts of
the idiocy of
the contemporaneous subhuman.
that
they actually fucking believe
the skinner box
takes input is one
thing ; but
that
they imagine it will produce food for
them, rather
than eat it itself ?! what, all
that's missing is
the correct incantation ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, people actually inquire with google re "russian billionaire email address loc ru" and such. in english and everything.
then google points
them...
to me.
mircea_popescu: nitroglycerin : better use
too much lest you risk using
too little.
mircea_popescu: in other random, shopping girl returns bearing shopping items ; among
there included, a plunger.
mircea_popescu: at least
they're
trying. "orcs
trying" is becoming quite
the lulzmine
trope.
ben_vulpes: "queen of
the south" album cover bears a striking resemblance
to pussy
mircea_popescu: "Like a bad ass she is, she proved
to be wise beyond her years by standing head and shoulders (Or is it ass-tall) with
the boys." doesn't even INTEND irony, you realise.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude... why is item with children with by
three fathers not chained
to a post somewhere. wtf get it off
the internets.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile catching up on dispatches from mines back in
the old country: "The side effects can be brutal. One medication exacerbated my depression and I ended up
trying
to
take my own life. Immediately, while I was still in critical care, each of my
three children’s fathers filed emergency petitions and
took
the kids."
mircea_popescu: if
this doesn't have a strong perfume of original hackertude about it i dunno what does.
mircea_popescu: imagine,
the dork actually automated gmail signup process in order
to beg for... phone charges.
BingoBoingo: Now
the determination
to refer
to
the discoverer as a child is related
to his doing interesting
things without a WoT presence, not because
the fellow says he is 15
a111: Logged on 2016-02-21 02:14 mircea_popescu: (and for
the record i will point out
that
tlp is anglotard enough
to miss most of
the substance.
there's perfecty good reason everyone painted
the same god damned vase with
two apples next
to it, and
this has little do
to with "you're not boring son ok" and a lot of fucking
things
to do with ... damn, where's
that
thread about
ther ancient battlefield ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: much like original zeks kept habits of making figurines out of bread or whittling pine or w/e long into
the 70s.
mircea_popescu: after having idiots driven
through
the deserts for 20 years over at "secret labs", something like EC is a necessary byproduct just for
the sake of maintaining whatever shreds of sanity.
mircea_popescu: in fact and rather
transparently,
the whole "secret curve" pseudocryptography is a direct result of all
the nsa
time spent chasing
those a and b (no b doesn't HAVE
TO BE 2, just as long as you know how you round it can also be a real)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally
this is exactly
the general formula i'd expect of nsa sponsored holes in rsa. p = a * x ^ b
a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 00:21 mircea_popescu:
this entire exercise in idiocy has, practically speaking, resulted in me paying various hard working
ticos a grand or so,
to
the people fucking in
the ass
the "security" paradigm of pantsuit.fetlife. IN LIEU of having paid
that much, and rather more,
to
the fetlife itself.
☟︎ mircea_popescu has seen some
tourists over
the arbitrary weekend and it's given me a right and proper crise de la foie.
mircea_popescu: go
talk
to a girl and ping a blog, motherfuckers, jesus fucking christ on a cracker
they LIED
TO YOU, it's immoral NOT
TO! you don't catch anything from sticking it into
the wet sight unseen.
mircea_popescu: what i would REALLY like would be a pill whereby something spawned forth by cunt speaking english is NO LONGER
this fundamentally idiotic moron who simply can not engage
the world.
ave1: Yes indeed! Also about
the curating
mircea_popescu: whole fucking point of even having computers is
to not curate
things by hand.
mircea_popescu: point in case -- you
think you can curate by hand a list of friends, yet your "blogroll" is perpetually out of date ; i don't have one nor ever had one for
this exact reason, i ain't handcurating jack.
mircea_popescu: the disadvantage, of course, is
that you have
to now police a private, hand-cobbled dns, because ips change.
mircea_popescu: now, if xmlrpc.php had a whitelist, something as simple as a htaccess deny from all allow from x,
this whole idiocy would go away.
mircea_popescu: what "look and see if my idiocy works" ?!?!
that's practically racism.
mircea_popescu: and
they'll do it 1mn
times per ip, no problem,
they just set up
the script, until
the host kicks
them off
they literally don't care about anything.
mircea_popescu: as a result,
trilema answers xmlrpc.php calls
to
the
tune of
ten a second every second, every day of every week of ever year.
there's many many millions each month, no exception
to date.
mircea_popescu: the disadvantage, and it is marked, is
that
there's an endless supply of "independent" and hallucinatorily "free" imbeciles, and EACH AND EVERY ONE will have
to
try foisting any idiotic little scheme from
the annals of ancient schemes upon
the entire world.
mircea_popescu: this advantage is however massively moderated by
the sheer lunatic imbecility of english speakers, whereby i do not
think it has happened yet
that five people actually linked
to an article on
trilema without prior arrangement, such as
their having a wot presence etc.
there's one exception
that comes
to mind, some dood running a "dark underground" or w/e blog.
this OVER
TEN YEARS nigh on.

this is not a bug but a feature, something in
the vein of "if you deliberately break
the lock on your mailbox, you may miss out on some mail, it's

mircea_popescu: the advantage of
the current system (anyone can ping, ips must match, not seen before sources go in mod queue) is
that anyone can just ping, without prior arrangement.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-21 13:30 ave1: I'm logging
the pings,
to check how I can enumerate
the good sites
a111: Logged on 2018-03-21 13:28 ave1:
Turns out
that
the pingback fix in mp-wp, will reject self-pings as
the ip address does not match (backend code runs on different server
than front end site)
a111: Logged on 2018-03-21 14:14 mircea_popescu: reading ave1 's comment on diana_coman 's blog i realise
that besides
the common
t/d substitution rampant here,
there's also an exotic substitution, p for b!
