mircea_popescu: i propose to not manage dns at all, and not have dns, either.
mircea_popescu: which is specifically what i said above : there will exist EXACTLY ONE place i authenticate at ; the name for that place is "my blog"
mircea_popescu: for the stated reason : for the same money i just use my blog to host the file
mircea_popescu: i don't think i want an authenticated dpaste, myself.
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news, i go out buy a bag of dice. these idiots used blue and red for the paint on the faces. guess what numbers are red and what numbers are blue ?
mircea_popescu: i didn't even make one this time!
ben_vulpes: "i don't solve problems, i just make them"
mircea_popescu: ty, i try!
mircea_popescu: but in fairness, this is just another facet of the monolithic usg-slavery-thoughtpattern. living in the states is good enoughy for me ; i don't really need a blog and it's not THE central, defining thing of my current existence ; on it goes.
mircea_popescu: i think i've done so a few times, actually.
ben_vulpes: i'm not saying that they won't, i'm say that nobody appears to actually be doing so.
ben_vulpes: that's what i've been doing, but it's not working and i'm still seeing heinous linefeed issues hamstringing and tripping up trb scouts
mircea_popescu: meh, i'm not downloading new pubkeys every day to use your paste thing
ben_vulpes: i did briefly consider letting people sub out a disposable key
ben_vulpes: because i have no interest in building things for the mob.
ben_vulpes: punkman, mircea_popescu, asciilifeform: destestable though they may be for injecting state into the stateless protocol, would a single "signin" page with an assbot-style decryption of OTP that results in a session key authenticating the user to the perlwad be an improvement, and are there better solutions i'm not considering? anonymous drive-by pasting is not a better solution imho. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1353048 << no. this is a color of bits issue ; i couldn't care less what the technological constraints [appear to] be. a contract is a single item, not a text and a separate signature. ☝︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: but i was up till 5 last night, so not really applying the razor
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2015 19:32:25; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu, et al : http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1352815 << and when i wrote re: CLEARSIGNING IS INTRINSICALLY RETARDED BECAUSE IN-BAND did anyone listen ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1353020 << dude. i am not maintaining two channels. clearsign is good specifically because it is clearsign. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i just hope he doesn't have a girlfriend.
punkman: I don't want 'clearsigning', but if I'm gonna have ascii armored messages/sigs, might as well stick them in one blob, and an unencoded "preview" of the message can be nice to have
asciilifeform: i've ruined hell knows how many ascii art diagrams by signing
asciilifeform: i could go on and on with the braindamage
asciilifeform: with 'clearsign' - i can only sign certain strings which don't contain the escape magicks.
asciilifeform: let's approach mathematically. with detached sig in gpg, i can sign ANY bitstring which fits in the machine.
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2015 11:10:20; ben_vulpes: but i don't think you called out specifically that you can rewrite the whole file's line ending styles without invalidating it
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu, et al : http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1352815 << and when i wrote re: CLEARSIGNING IS INTRINSICALLY RETARDED BECAUSE IN-BAND did anyone listen ? ☝︎☟︎
thestringpuller: so not like I have lunch money to begin with
thestringpuller: Meanwhile, I want to build a sane computer, but I feel it's futile because Microshit and Apple ruined everything... :(
thestringpuller: I blame the web developers. Fancy CSS and prettiness > functionality
asciilifeform: so i can sell my antique hp16c
asciilifeform: i'm still waiting for a physical calc with hex digit keys and single-button bit operations
shinohai: I prefer physical calculators myself. Apps suck.
asciilifeform: '... A physical calculator (and not a touch-screen app on a tablet) has something that the surrogate doesn't. For one thing it does not require you to do GUI context switching. It does not compete for mouse (or keyboard) with the other tens of open programs. I find this invaluable. On the other hand, touch screens take away tactile feedback. This gives the same bland taste as the soft power-off switches.' << yes!
asciilifeform: ore inefficient, using more and more RAM and CPU to do the same things. Since right now, I am very low on money, this means I am stuck using Xcode 6.2, and trying to not misclick anything when I plug the testing devices and iTunes nag me to update them... because if I allow them to get updated, I will have to upgrade Xcode, OSX, and the entire machine, and right now sometimes I can't afford even food ...'
asciilifeform: VariaVarietatis: how the hell would i know.
mircea_popescu: i think locks and lock behavious is nsa's #1 favourite metacomputing item.
mircea_popescu: i guess technically different huh.
asciilifeform: (which i might not even know the content of in advance!)
asciilifeform: and i ain't signing pipe garbage
asciilifeform: and many other trb folks, i imagine, could also find this useful
asciilifeform: because i wanna paste from a shell
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> maybe i'm just thick, but i can't think of what ben_vulpes's 'wotpaste' is actually for << not really his, i just idly asked why would we make a special thing for paste when deedbot already has all that functionality and more. within the same ten minutes it came to light why and the matter went away afaic.
asciilifeform: perhaps i'm missing the point of the photo..?
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2015 16:06:51; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1352791 << it's true, i never picked 5.3 per se. my contribution was that i said no later than 6 series ; foundation held an informal hearing, decided to go the earliest possible rather than latest possible route, supoena'd me for historical copies which i provided and htey used.
asciilifeform: maybe i'm just thick, but i can't think of what ben_vulpes's 'wotpaste' is actually for
asciilifeform: ( mircea_popescu reveals that he has - to this day unpublished! - private 31337 version of bitcoin; then everybody tries to pry detail outa him; ben_vulpes asks for pedigreed tarballs; i ask for printed book... etc )
mod6: totally nothing. i actually kinda like these.
asciilifeform: i still don't get what is so terrible about this.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> heh, i suppose that's the strongest indictment for the soviets ever : can't fucking distinguish 50s from 80s looking at the pictures. << yeah, whenever i see these older pics, I can't tell if its 30 years ago or 60
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1352883 << i recommend reading the code. it disables the 'checkpoint' crud (in the sense of forcing all blocks, including the early ones covered by the 'checkpoint' kludge, to be verified) ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2015 16:49:49; mircea_popescu: heh, i suppose that's the strongest indictment for the soviets ever : can't fucking distinguish 50s from 80s looking at the pictures.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1352888 << i like going to american antique stores, stocked with '40s-'50s crud. it's kinda like a tour to my '80s childhood ☝︎
mircea_popescu: heh, i suppose that's the strongest indictment for the soviets ever : can't fucking distinguish 50s from 80s looking at the pictures. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: jurov oh i thought it was 80s
mod6: ;;later tell pete_dushenski Although I posted this patch in December of '14, it was quickly tabled by February -- and I wrote about this in the SoBA: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-February/000041.html
mod6: ;;later tell pete_dushenski Hey, thanks for starting to write up some of this stuff. I aught to point out at least one thing: 'Checkpoints excised by Shane Kinney'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1352791 << it's true, i never picked 5.3 per se. my contribution was that i said no later than 6 series ; foundation held an informal hearing, decided to go the earliest possible rather than latest possible route, supoena'd me for historical copies which i provided and htey used. ☝︎☟︎
punkman: I guess it'd be useful as deedbot input
ben_vulpes: but i don't think you called out specifically that you can rewrite the whole file's line ending styles without invalidating it ☟︎
ben_vulpes: ahh i love shipping in the wee hours

assbot: Every year this smug fat bastard breaks into people's home and stuffs himself with cookies. The worst part is no one says a word about it. I blame fat acceptance. | fatpeoplehate ... ( http://bit.ly/1YFDbgF )
mircea_popescu: shit. i could have written for "bitcoin news" ALL THIS TIME ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1352698 << i find alf's sarcasm has improved markedly since hanging around here. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2015 01:19:10; ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352445 << oh come on, no citation even?! i spent hours on that research.
thestringpuller: i think shareholders forced apple to pay dividends cause sitting on as much cash as they allegedly had is extremely risky, cause inflation
trinque: I don't see the fault with it.
ben_vulpes: there are specific heads i'm out for yet.
ben_vulpes: i dgaf about guards
thestringpuller: i thought we all felt that way to begin with...
thestringpuller: i thought amazon made a profit?
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352445 << oh come on, no citation even?! i spent hours on that research. ☝︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352005 << neat! i would dearly love to see this. ☝︎
asciilifeform: anyway i can't think of any reason to venture into a lolmart in modern day
asciilifeform: the one time i went to lolmart they destroyed my shoes
asciilifeform: l0l and here i thought it was because they don't get out
ben_vulpes: okay, this i now dig.
ben_vulpes: i am completely out of my depth here.
ben_vulpes: i must now admit to only a kindergarten level understanding of data structures, for any who remain un-clued-in to this fact
thestringpuller: i kno those
ben_vulpes: sure, but did you miss the line where i asked "what data structure will work here?"?
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 14:46:59; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351660 << ahahahaa i'm a laugh to death, we want a sql parser to grind every motherfucking time a tx is fetched ??!?!?
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351815 << have i not yet achieved loglightenment on how to index the transaction set? ☝︎
ben_vulpes: like i said, 'twill remain a mystery
thestringpuller: mod6: was this started from a /clean/ env or is this trying to load up a blockchain from christmas past? << I completely nuked the datadir .bitcoin with rm -rf *; whenever I do an rpc call after the thing _tries_ to spin up, it borks. crashes without anything except what was in the db.log. I'm almost certain it's an issue with bdb because no blocks are downloaded or anything. cause it connects to the node I specify gets basic

trinque: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352459 << I am open to doing a paste.deedbot.org; done correctly it does not seem like a massive piece of work. ☝︎
shinohai: https://cock.li/transparency/warrant-canary.txt <<< text of canary is why I applaud him.
shinohai: I applaud the guy for at least putting up warrant canary on server
mircea_popescu: this is whjat i get for going "who the fduck is vincent canfield"
asciilifeform: (from commentz) 'I work as a sysadmin. I got my remote position by working in an office and getting to know everyone, and getting myself in a position where all of my work can be done remotely. Even though I’m near the office should I need to go in, I work from home since there’s not really any need. Other ways include freelance / contract work, or just outright applying for a remote-hire position. There are lots of fully-
mircea_popescu: or did i misconstrue your question and you weren't asking something along the lines of "how COULD you stick your penis in brown!!1"
mircea_popescu: it's about california being dumb in a different color scheme , i guess.
mircea_popescu: as someone who actually fucks third worlders, i do not buy this.
mircea_popescu: "The growing public attention sparked by the investment became both a heaven and a hell. On one hand, during the course of Gowalla’s life we received more tech press coverage than is right and holy for any startup. On the other, I dare you to find a post about Gowalla that doesn't mention Foursquare."
punkman: -walla is from indian word I think
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think it's africanization, to me it seems very ... surfer culture, to be honest. the whole trend with walla this and palooza that traces back to that idiotic aussie band of the 90s wtf was it called.
