shinohai: Wow. I fully expect
that
to happen here
though, it being only February. At least 1-2 more weeks of cold at some point.
trinque: Houston went from 70s
to 30s in one day
this winter
shinohai: Pretty good here, enjoying
the 72 degree weather @ 10 am lol

mod6: speaking of
time waits for no one.

talked
to m00t yesterday about bitcoin :) pretty epic
mod6: haha, indeed. I seem
to remember reading something way later about m00t. maybe someone mentioned it here.
mircea_popescu: asshats failed
to admit
they failed, declared "you" winner.
mircea_popescu: you recall,
they
tried
to do online poll, 4chan owned it, made m00t person of
the year
mod6: <+shinohai> Did you have a Big blue Ox
too? << would have been better
to ride an ox
than fight
through all
the
Tucson stoplights. But, no, sadly.
mod6: Anyway, sorry for
that
trip down amnesia lane.
mod6: Ah,
that was a different cover. I guess in 2009 it was "Person of
the Year". Seriously. Person. Of.
The. Year.
mod6: The Bernak had just bailed out
the banks. I remember some
Time Magazine cover "The Hero." Or some such nonsense, scary stuff.
mod6: I had remembered reading about
that in
there, probably in like 99 or 2000.
This was eight years later. I knew
though, once it was a
thing,
then I had
to get involved.
mod6: Probably about
that same
time infact.
mod6: Wasn't actually
too much later I was walkin down
the street in
Tucson
thinking... "I wonder when someone is going
to make a currency out of cryptography like Schneier was
talking about in Applied Crypto.."
mircea_popescu: the chess clock & corkboard you're using
to schedule&timekeep
mod6: Not like
the
trees up in MN.
mod6: Gave
that shit up in a hurry.
mod6: Shit is like razor wire or something. And what's worse, is
they're a sort of locust style
tree -- and when
they have leaves on 'em shit sticks
together like velcro.
shinohai: Did you have a Big blue Ox
too?
mod6: Umm no.
Those mesquite
trees and palo verde
trees have NASTY barbs on
them. After cutting down 1 mesquite
tree it looked like I got into a fight with a wolverine.
mod6: I needed some cash in like 2008 and was like, "alright, lemme get a saw and do some slash & burn for cash...". Was
thinking, "Oh yeah, eazy-money, here we go!"
mod6: Did I ever
tell you guys about doing
tree work down in Arizona?
mod6: some days
though, i really do miss running
the chainsaw and
the smell -
the
trees,
the gasoline
mod6: hehehe. it's been a steady march into perdition in
the salt mines
the last week or so.
mod6: im gonna give
this shit up, go back
to being a lumberjack.
mod6: java 8, fixes your shit, fucks your wife, pays your bills, disciplines your kids. all part of
the
thing dontchaknow.
mod6: Same guy also
told me, "Yeah,
there are some performance problems... but we're gonna switch
to java 8, so
that should
take care of it."
mod6: I had a guy
tell me with a straight face, "I only write performant code."
mod6: Good Gentlemen. How's everything going
today?
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: there was also an ad for some kind of novel pharmacofinelyspunhydrocarbon for
the sexually-active-but-wanting-to-not-catch-teh-HIV (which, excuse me darling, why are
they advertising us aidsmeds on
the craplet)
that was 30% vertical space for ad and 70% vertical space dedicated
to a slow-scroll of finetext with i shit
thee not buttons
that had
triggerable down and up states but *did not affect
the scrolling*
mircea_popescu: but yes,
things went downhill from
the 80s when chet diagnosed her rare eye condition / located specialist via gopher
to
today.
ben_vulpes: god damn
the whole internet is garbage. last night i was idly looking into long-term synovial fluid health (surprise: webmd is useless and all
that google will return results for i wonder why) and found several webshites
that while scrolling would arbitrarily jump
the page an inch or so at specific points
the reasoning for which i could not determine
ben_vulpes: they want
to hire someone kink friendly if you can imagine
that
ben_vulpes: inb4 mircea_popescu has bought fetlife ads
that SPECTRE with javascript
ben_vulpes: i've not been on fetlife in some
time so i couldn't say
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes hey, does fetlife want
to hire you
too, or did
they
taylor
the pop-up ?
BingoBoingo: Ah,
that. Still quite a few of
the 5 hour a year crowd
too.
shinohai: I agree. my
trb node runs on very old compaq which is actually far superior. I played Eulora on it when I first started (using ssh -X !) because
the keyboard is long borked.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i got a hp laptop recently
too, say, but desktops really should be assembled from parts.
mircea_popescu: for a coupla hours five
times a year, such participation as'd befit
the bad name his culture got.
mircea_popescu: surfer beach, you know, miles of perfect ocean, some dudes hanging around, *ping*
there's us consumertard in his house pants, chips crumbs in his lap, "o hey dudes, how's
the surf ? hurr durr" half hour later, *ping* he's disappeared, with
the firm notion
that he "participated" in "surfer culture"
mircea_popescu: hurr durr, if
the soccer mom / couch dad could possibly do
this irl,
they'd
totally
teleport various places while seated in
their livingroom couch.
mircea_popescu: no but i mean
the fucking lameness of it. dood's got a "well rounded internet experience", he's got a mortgage and a boring wife and a boring job and a hp he bought at
the store, and he "logs in" for a coupla hours four
times a week or w/e. every nine weeks and a half we pop up again in
the rotation, he's done 4chan, reddit, facebook, whatever, "i wonder what
THOSE zany kids are up
to
these days".
BingoBoingo: It'll prolly be a while
till
the USD downmarch shakes out
the whole "remember we showed up once X years ago" crowd.
mircea_popescu is getting intolerant of
the whole punkmanist/indiancandy style "o hey, maybe
they forgot?!"
mircea_popescu: either fix yourself
to fit in or else stop bothering
to come by, because
the next
time you do one of
these ima just block you.
mircea_popescu: we don't give a shit about your persona. for one
thing it's not even remotely acceptable, let alone cool.
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 you keep doing
this number whereby you drop by now and again
to expose us
to your magnificently solipsist persona.
trinque: you know how
to search.
these
threads probably number in
the hundreds by now.
trinque has other
things
to do, but consider. used
to beat people for not doing
their six months of logs reading.
ag3nt_zer0: shinohai:
trying
to build from scratch here
trinque: what is
this "still being desired"? do you not follow
the logs?
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: hi.
they were connected. if
trb nodes are still being desired, i am
trying
to set one up. i am
trying
to install GNUGPG on
the linux machine so i can verify
trb sigs. and i keep getting
this problem described above
shinohai: ag3nt_zer0: best bet is
to simply nuke
the Ubuntu gpg and build from sauce.
trinque: did you have a
trb question, a gpg question, indigestion, what
trinque: dude, no more "this is stuff
they
talk about" word salad
ag3nt_zer0: encountering
this problem here installing packages required for GNUGPG ubuntu install.
telling me i need for instance libgcrypt
to build
this program, when libgcrypt was
the first one i configured - perhaps I was supposed
to
tell it where
to configure? sorry no pastebin i am on another computer here...
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: what kind of question is
that?
trinque: mircea_popescu: oughta be able
to get
that out
this weekend.
ag3nt_zer0: i'm not hip
to
the details. is it still desirable
to get
trb nodes up?
ag3nt_zer0: how goes it? just came across
the unsettling news...
shinohai: So BingoBoingo .... no word on
teh scoop yet?
mod6: thanks for
the notice phf
