mp_en_viaje: and for
that matter no cosmetics -- if girl at home ain't
tryna immitate
the girl selling news on
tv, what need for rouge ?
mp_en_viaje: thus
they indeed built a drab gray world, with no instagram sluts vying for a chance at being
the next "avon ambassador", no
twerking girlies
tryna "make it in dis biz" of "rap" which consists of dudes vying for a chance of being
the nike ideal salesman, whose paper icon is in every nike shop so
the actual shoe salesman can hide after
this nike jesus and sell from behind
the mask
mp_en_viaje: this is ~precisely~
the economic proposition of classical socialism,
that by saving all
the money "wasted" on marketing, packaging, advertising etcetera, it can pass
those savings on
to
the customer, ~and
they'll amount
to something meaningful~.

trinque: I don't know if
the soviets invented some kind of circumcision
that removes
the "and
then you persuade people
to give you
their money for
the
thing you have"
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 22:24:30 lobbes: In unrelated news, I
turned 32
today (yesterday?). Death clock keeps
ticking.
mp_en_viaje: similarily, if i was hiring and
this engineer dude showed up, passed
the quals, and
then explained
that he must have limo service from company, because he can't drive and is affraid of
trams and
the bus driver is mean
to him, i'd hve similarly said no
thanks. because, again, some dude
too inept
to have mastered
transportation is not qualified
to play
the engineer, irrespective of what
the paperwork girlies say.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 22:23:12 asciilifeform: which i suspect is at least part of
the reason mp didnt want it.
mp_en_viaje:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944321 << yes, sure, in some complexly contorted re-interpretation it could be said
that i don't want it because someone inept enough
to have a problem with
the bitcoin is probably just as inept in other places and will do something stupid enough
to be a danger of life and limb.
mp_en_viaje: you're poor because you're stupid. and you'll stay poor for as long as you stay stupid.
that's
the whole fucking story.
mp_en_viaje: cuz
that's what i fucking needed, you know, not -- god forbid -- a working isp, oh no, not
that. i wanted some fucking kitchen xray shots of some long dead gramophone.
THAT is what was needed, it'll make
the apotropaion of alf, when
the darkness comes we just show it
that and it walks away.
mp_en_viaje: i can't even be arsed
to distinguish whether it's
the case
that some weirdo is in fact SO weird as
to actually have an xray machine, microscopes etcetera but 0 boxes, or rather
the case some fifteen yo is just
talking along with
the crowd, a sort of [][zelig], becoming overweight when
talking
to overweight people about
their obexsity and growing a beard when hanging out with rabbis.
mp_en_viaje: then it
turns out you've been
talking out of your ass.
mp_en_viaje: not even a week ago you were grumbling about how you want whatever opterons "you sealed" back, as if you're some kind of fucking actor, maybe you own 10% of
the remaining stock of opterons, who
the fuck knows.
mp_en_viaje: not even half year ago you were here making a big noise about your x-ray machine and how
to adapt microscopes and shoot nonpareils out of your asshole.
mp_en_viaje: which you promptly
took and hung self with, which is fucking fine.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 12:12:42 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: not disputing
the general principle. but finding it difficult
to see how would have made a diff re
the latech
thing.
mp_en_viaje: because
that was
the structure of
THAT conversation, actually, irrespective what
the shit between your ears may have misrepresented it as : i noted you got your fingers caught, and
then i pointed out
WHY you got your fingers caught, and
then
took
the first opportunity
to offer some slack
to extract yourself.
mp_en_viaje: and yes i had
thought
that offering you
the opportunity
to at least rack some of
that,
thereby liquidating it without losing ownership, would be exactly
the pill
to resolve
the cash flow woes of an otherwise useful and intelligent gent.
mp_en_viaje: yes, on
the basis of
the pompous bullshit you keep spitting into
the logs i had formed
the impression
that you're sitting on a large stash of assorted hardware, which is a major factor of your manifest refusal
to leave
the washington swamp.
mp_en_viaje: you make a big noise, oh, "i like
this, oh i do
that", people end up imagining inside
the noisecloud
there's some substance.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 22:09:37 asciilifeform: also, BingoBoingo , even if he had asked for
the rack, we cannot
teleport
the boxen, it wouldnot satisfy
the 'omfg want uy1 NAO!!' req.
mp_en_viaje: i'd rather deal with amazon
than with red stapler idiot bullshit each day of
the week, who
the fuck do you
think gives a shit about your elaborate list of can't do's ?!
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile you've been sitting on your dumb ass for fucking decades,
telling me you can't handle half a coin like you're fucking proud of it ?
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo_, is in on
the carpet over not managing
to magic over workable orcs in
the south american outback over a coupla years ? he got
there he didn't even speak
the fucking language.
mp_en_viaje: your self-permitted "oh, i can't do x, but
that's ok" went as far as it did, ~tolerated~, not accepted.
mp_en_viaje: you're not fucking useful. learn
to be useful or get
the fuck lost, it can't be any plainer
than
that.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 22:05:05 asciilifeform: an' it's sold by
the pound. interchangeable, predictable, exactly like 'serious biz' folx luvv so Much.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 21:50:00 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Power for dollar, you do seem
to have a knack for buying machines. As I'm digesting
the day's conversation
the objection from mp seems
to be
the mindset which produces
this frugality is handicapping when extended
to other areas.
mp_en_viaje: he;s gonna fill up
the channel with idiotic old woman wailing now, on
top of
ten
thousand lines of being hysterically useless.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 21:41:08 asciilifeform: where didja buy
them parts, BingoBoingo , at airport ??
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 14:30:18 mp_en_viaje:
there exist good cheeses now because (mostly french) many anon farmers produced
the structure
to protect
them.
mp_en_viaje: the very fucking point of
structure speaks directly here.
to be in
the republic ~you must not be in pantsuit~. living
the life of
the atomized powerless pantsuit ~necessarily~ means you can't be in
the republic.
mp_en_viaje: to live independently you must master your environment sufficiently so as
to warrant it.
mp_en_viaje: in any case, if you want
to sell one or
ten or a hundred bitcoin in budapest i can
tell you where ; or in kiev, or in munich, or in i dunno if i make myself clear here, but
this vegetative state where you can do nothing, you know no one etcetera is not fit for independent living. if you're going
to live like
that you must live in
the household of another, as a servant.
mp_en_viaje: that's
the format, and
that's even
the fucking reason of existing. if
this isn't what you do, in what sense are you even a person, what
the fuck, you're somebody's maid, ploughssharer,
tavern wench, whatever it is you
think you appear or attempt
to say you're at no risk of being
taken for a gentleman.
mp_en_viaje: and
that's
the expectation, whoever;s resident answers questions. "i need a car" here you go. "seems
this deal's going south" "i know
this lawyer", "we want
to X" "you'll have
to p q and r, ima send guy over
to
talk
to you about p, no problem, q you do
thus and following, r is iffy, becayse s and
t considerations, ima see what can be done".
mp_en_viaje: that's what BingoBoingo_ was
to do in uruguay, and did as-best-he-could which didn't get accepted as acceptable, let alone very well,
this is what mocky went
to do in qatar -- figure out if it's worth doing at all,
this is what life is.
mp_en_viaje: because
this is what you're supposed
to fucking do, being our man in amsterdam means you can answer questions about amsterdam.
mp_en_viaje: so
the question actually was, "any chance you'd extend your presumed ownership of georgia-carolina-tenesee" into
the
tri-state area such as
to cover
this inept schmuck, who can't apparently get out of
the house, and help him out do basic self-support
tasks ?
mp_en_viaje: when i returned
to
timisoara i moved into a place my left-behind man on
the ground got for me, when phf showed up in minsk i
took him
to places my advance
team either researched or actually scouted,
these are
things.
mp_en_viaje: if i reside in a location (which i do, multiple) i can answer a number of questions. "where's
the best restaurant", i can answer, and if i like you it'll even be "i'll
take you
there". "are
there any hot whores ?" i can answer, and if i like you i can even send you some. "do you know a lawyer ?" i can answer, and so following.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 20:55:15 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It may be worth working with lobbes/trinque
to see if a BTC/Dubloo circuit in
the zone can be established.
The one
thing
the US has is cables everywhere. Argentina hangs off of
the "Tannat" cable still further from Fortaleza
than Uruguay
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 21:04:31 lobbes:
http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944047 << if
this were
to be done I'd say
trinque probably better fit for
the role. While I am always hungry for BTC, my orcbux stash
took a hit while jettisoning dependopotamus. I'm currently regrouping financially speaking, and while my monthly cashflow should be increasing by ~ $1k in
the coming months, I'll still be at 'pauper' level in real
terms. Consumption c
mp_en_viaje: but if you're staying put, can you at least master
the btc
to dubaloo interfacing in your area ? can you be
a useful someone, rather
than alf-style loud someone ?
diana_coman: in early morning crop, only 4 replies: 1 is "please hold on, will enquire"; 2 is "invoicing is a problem because local laws bla" (I've replied
to
them with simple solution aka
their person comes and interfaces); 3 is can't do + we are obnoxious and you do as we say (south koreans
too!) 4. is again "help, please hold, will ask boss"
lobbes: I mean
to say above: do you want
the links appearing in
the log lines
to be enclosed in <a href>
tags
lobbes: mp_en_viaje: I meant
to ask earlier, do you want
the logged lines on
the blog
to be linkable ala
the standard logger?
lobbes: turns out, btw,
that
the whole "detect permalinks structure"
thing wasn't even needed...
the "guid" field does not represent, as I erroneously
thought prior,
the absolute path
to
the post. mp-wp just puts
the absolute path in
there "by default" as
the guid. Saved a lot of
time by realizing
that
lobbes: in other news, I have knocked out all items in
week 4 mp-wp work plan. Next on list is:
the search blog portion, and
the sending pingbacks from irc portion
trinque: they don't know who
the fuck you are
BingoBoingo to
take unwinding unloaded walk and
then bed.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-10 03:01:45 BingoBoingo: "Server for sale, in Uruguay" seems like
the Pizarro version of "Baby shoes, never worn"
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-10 02:51:40
trinque: speaking of larping, what's
this "gassed"
thing?
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-10 02:02:18
trinque: at any rate, I don't
take pleasure in pissing on failure. it's a weakness I have, so lets leave it at
that.
BingoBoingo: When
the Bitcoin declaration of independence went around gathering signatures in 2014, it was enough
to dislike
the USG and want
to see
the USG done. Now, for
the failures of marketing outside of
the MP household... much of
the language about
the Republic seems larpish, except when he says it because... He's been a battleship before Bitcoin.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-10 02:01:18
trinque: anyhow
that copy I wrote for your wacky larping index page never went up. I don't beg my way into other people's struggling businesses.
BingoBoingo: "Server for sale, in Uruguay" seems like
the Pizarro version of "Baby shoes, never worn"
BingoBoingo: <trinque>
the honest assessment is y'all didn't have a man onboard
that wanted
to do
the business part of
the business. <<
This seems very accurate.
BingoBoingo: trinque: Well
that's kind what
the loper-os vision of computing is. Compare
to MP's I'll buy it but it better work or I'll break it.
trinque: the honest assessment is y'all didn't have a man onboard
that wanted
to do
the business part of
the business.
trinque: BingoBoingo: man I hardly
think perfect's
the word here. it literally means complete!
trinque: speaking of larping, what's
this "gassed"
thing?
BingoBoingo: With respect
to keeping anything powered on in
the rack serving anything, it damages
the case
that "we might have a stable connection in a month" is unacceptable.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 22:23:04 asciilifeform: and on
top of it all,
that rack aint doin' anyone any good when asciilifeform gassed.
BingoBoingo: and not limit
the search
to Vienna, Warsaw, and Anatolia simply because more civilization survives
there
than apparently anywhere else.
BingoBoingo:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944320 << Death comes for everyone. Your micro/macro risk calculation organs are calibrated in a way
that all
to frequently weighs in favor of
the perfect at
the expense of
the possible and at
times
the necessary as well. I am
trying
to
take Señor Popescu's lessons and if he
thinks I ought
to apprentice as a datacenter
tech in an actual employement role... I'm going put myself out
there
BingoBoingo has pulled
the
trigger on a heathenbox. Hopefully will get
to setting it up soon.
trinque: bvt, cruciform, danielpbarron, hanbot, lobbes, mats, mocky, mod6, nicoleci, peterl,
thimbronion, whaack :
http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=LxFh lobbes: BingoBoingo: confirmed. I have both recent blog dump and auctionbot postgres dumps. I should be good
to go for
the
time-being
lobbes: BingoBoingo: I have (I
think) recent backups of
that already, but I would love it mailed if
that is being offered. I can pay for postage ofc
lobbes: ty for backup BingoBoingo, and for hosting it
trinque
BingoBoingo: trinque:
Thank you for helping with
the cleanup.
trinque: should be same ssh key
they had.
lobbes: trinque, sure I can
test.
trinque: lobbes: you around
to confirm ssh access
to
the box with uy1 backups?
trinque: at any rate, I don't
take pleasure in pissing on failure. it's a weakness I have, so lets leave it at
that.
trinque: anyhow
that copy I wrote for your wacky larping index page never went up. I don't beg my way into other people's struggling businesses.
trinque: I don't know if
the soviets invented some kind of circumcision
that removes
the "and
then you persuade people
to give you
their money for
the
thing you have"
trinque: recall I offered
to redo your website (as a first step into your having any marketing effort whatsoever)
trinque: no startup is an every couple days affair. it's an every waking moment affair, and it redefines waking without your asking
too.
