punkman: just need a carplane
pete_dushenski: mats: being the token chinese dood isn't a terrible spot.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes and i, for example, have waaaay too much in common (similar age, young families, upbringing, even geography's not ~that~ far off), which i'm pretty sure is what leads to our sometimes curt and unproductive tete-a-tetes de temps en temps as we struggle to tease one apart from the other.
pete_dushenski: mats: well, this christmas you can be thankful that you don't have to contest with other chinese doods in b-a for that little niche (yes, there are niches in b-a, as anywhere else).
mats: although mebbe that fro should've been a giveaway
mats: chinese people and jews have a couple things in common, including enjoying chinese meals during xmas
punkman: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/27/business/dealbook/the-unsung-tax-agent-who-put-a-face-on-the-silk-road.html ☟︎

assbot: It’s not your outgoing US President’s fault he’s a dumb monkey, it’s affirmative action’s. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1OrAqzZ )
pete_dushenski: speaking of affirmative... http://www.contravex.com/2015/12/16/its-not-your-outgoing-us-presidents-fault-hes-a-dumb-monkey-its-affirmative-actions/#comment-37892

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1353372 << "Politruk - a hero of the Soviet Union. You have an empty belly." ☝︎
ben_vulpes: i am going to go do the dishes, rageclean, watch a movie and bask in the cutefield.
ben_vulpes: assbot doesn't even give me a useful complaint.
asciilifeform always regarded the timeout as a bug

ith: Has anyone figured out a way to do Windows 10 without being spied on?
assbot: 15 results for '0a' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=0a
mircea_popescu just realised that in spite of not having a clue he was actually FUCKING RIGHT
assbot: Request successful, get your OTP: http://w.b-a.link/otp/c07a32caa47b77e8
assbot: You rated user phf on 24-Jun-2015, with a rating of 2, and supplied these additional notes: Well read gent in search of a handler. Bureaucrats and mustachioed young ladies apply within..
phf: #(66 6F 6F A 62 61 72)
mircea_popescu: fancy that it'd split one word but not the other, also. what a spicy adventure.
mircea_popescu: "does this shit even work" was, for the record, a very general inquiry.
mircea_popescu: <phf> paste text to b-a-paste, manually post url to log, unless post is in the logs, it's auto expired after n hours << the. entirety. of. this. aready. exists.
asciilifeform: (all that remains is for anybody to give a fuck and write proggy. i'm presently occupied.)
mircea_popescu: put a fucking form on nosuchlabs.com/pastes/ and curl-post to it.
asciilifeform: this is esp. lulzy in light of earlier thread where mircea_popescu raged at the notion of having to use a tool to read a contract
asciilifeform: what the fuck is so hard to understand about wanting a sane version of dpaste ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only because you want a certain standard. and iuf you do, it will be whether you host it or he hosts it.
mircea_popescu: this is no different from "for as long as ben_vulpes' thing continues to be a thing", is it ? you're gonna commit your life to dpaste ?
asciilifeform: the 'put wherever you want' IS A HUNDRED KEYPRESS OPERATION
ben_vulpes: for as long as archive.is continues to be a thing.
mircea_popescu: so host a public toilet then
mircea_popescu: and you want his login to not be a login
mircea_popescu: so you want him to make you a login because you don't want to make your own login
asciilifeform: because i sure as fuck ain't pressing a hundred buttons
asciilifeform: where i can, e.g., './foo.pl | pastebinatron' and get a link
asciilifeform: we were, i think, talking about a 'pastebin'
asciilifeform: i can't pipe text into archive.is from a shell !!
asciilifeform: every 24h cron greps the day's log for a link to the post, if doesn't find - deletes.
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2015 23:15:12; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: part of the appeal of running a 'pastebin' ~is~ the crud dropped in by the mob. for instance, there is a long tradition of dropping 0days and leaked misc crud on pastebin.
ben_vulpes: you can get it to do up to a year
mircea_popescu: phf iirc dpaste expire in a week anyway
kakobrekla: you gonna keep 100+ megs of logs to save up a few kbs of space?
phf: it's a pretty laid back option though, you're basically accepting as much third party crud as any regular paste service, but there's a gc that ties the whole thing to log, and culls the turds
phf: paste text to b-a-paste, manually post url to log, unless post is in the logs, it's auto expired after n hours
ben_vulpes: (which itself a magical hellhole of stupidity)
pete_dushenski: mnope. that one has a larger breadth than contravex trb timleline part i could handle. maybe in part ii.
ben_vulpes: did you include a link to my version of the same piece that you wrote?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i think pete_dushenski was trying to write a history of trb ?
asciilifeform: (there is/was also 'wx' but it is a shambles)
asciilifeform: 'Qt uses C++ with signals and slotsxiv to provide a cross-platform application framework for, essentially, illiterate amateurs.' << unfortunately this is not so
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1353165 << without reading it, lemme go out on a limb and hazard a guess that 'nudge tsar' cass sunstein is somehow involved. ☝︎
asciilifeform: e.g. a '90s xerox of the complete works of trofim denisovich lysenko.
asciilifeform: there's mebbe half a tonne of horror show in 3-rings just in this room
asciilifeform: http://thewhet.net/2015/what-is-a-supermarket << somehow i missed this
asciilifeform: kakobrekla et al: zoolag will be going down for ssd upgrade starting now and ending with a few hrs later
mircea_popescu: there's a sack fulla kittens out there.
asciilifeform: and does that count as a legible string ?
mircea_popescu: honestly, you're better off getting a decent server you actually control for your node than getting a bunch of aws/such crap
mircea_popescu: a lot more of this "oh, you're on aws ? well... you can't do X" stuff is sorely needed.
asciilifeform: when rackspace starts handing out vm to reddit k00l d00dz for a penny/hour, i'll ban it.
mircea_popescu: i actually support throwing a spoke or three in the expectation of jwz that "struff works"
thestringpuller: and a node run on hardware in a datacenter is not?
asciilifeform: because a 'cloud' node is a pseudonode.
okcupidslut: ehh, but my face looks like it got hit by a car atm. Aint nothing pretty about that.
mircea_popescu: the problem is you dun seem to have a head ?
assbot: I'll pay for your tits on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1MQMd6w )
mircea_popescu: honestly, in my mind i realise now, gpg --clearisng has taken over a hole left by telex.
mircea_popescu: to put it sanely-er : i'm more than happy to redefine "ascii" for clearsign to include a subset of ascii
asciilifeform: unless they have a different character set on mars, also called ascii, where - is not 45
asciilifeform: because if you want to avoid 'malleability', now you have to actually use a tool that shows you the bytes.
mircea_popescu: so this entire "unix terminal is retarded" thing isn't as much of a concern
mircea_popescu: for all you know i do read it in a byte editor.
mircea_popescu: a yea, iirc we even had a discussion about scripts doing ^H etc here, with a link and everything.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, anyone bored can kill themselves figuring out why the fuck i have to do two passes of sed interspersed with a grep to get the dumbass thing to work as intended.
mircea_popescu: cat fucksticks.txt | sort -u | while read line; do curl -A "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0" --cookie "session=185406475447611750%3a13562327112394530656;secure_check=1;authlink=8e9808c6;__cfduid=de2158114156a0b38260969e145b2ca9e1450046931" "https://www.okcupid.com/profile/$line" | sed 's/profile_similar/\n\n/g' | sed 's/href/\n\n/g' | grep 'cf=' | grep "/profile/" | sed 's/="\
asciilifeform: you still need a computer to read 'plain ascii'
asciilifeform: and i still insist that the 'clearness' of 'clearsign' is a jwzism. NO YOU CAN'T actually read the payload 'without tools'. yes, you can put it to a line printer, and get a human-readable page. BUT it will not be WHAT YOU SIGNED! not bitwise, and not mandatorily, and therefore not at all.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: part of the appeal of running a 'pastebin' ~is~ the crud dropped in by the mob. for instance, there is a long tradition of dropping 0days and leaked misc crud on pastebin. ☟︎
asciilifeform: because, again, the whole 'plain text' jwzism and the attendant retardation. somehow 'lines' are a thing. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: trinque suggested not-trivially-enumerable endpoints for wotmembers, eg engage in a brief gpggram session one time, yields a wotpaste/my-difficult-to-enumerate-endpoint place for individuals to post textwads to
ben_vulpes: i am just looking for a sane balance between toilet for the mob and useful tool for the wot.
asciilifeform: i don't want to need to imprint turds with a seal before flushing.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: would you accept use of a token in headers for use from cli?
mircea_popescu: what am i to be like one of those us military base commanders that can't run a quarter mile ?
mircea_popescu: so your idea of a working gpg is "everyone must learn new alphabet now" ?
asciilifeform: don't take my word for it. go dump a tar of ascii text to console
asciilifeform: what's wrong with tar as a 'clearsign' bottle ?
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2015 21:29:42; mircea_popescu: thinking about it : the one thing i like about dpaste in preference of uploading files is that i don't have to provide a filename.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i started using it in b-a. it is, for me, a replacement of email.
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2015 21:08:22; mircea_popescu: in short, i wisened up to the fact that this particular thing is of the "go big or go home" variety and insistence on peculiar versions of small are a waste of time.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1353078 << this works until usg or even a demented sysop is involved: you can derive pubkey from ciphertext ☝︎
asciilifeform: and i don't see any reason to sign a disposable, ephemeral turd.
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2015 20:38:47; 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.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1353073 << not for any of my use cases. i wanna paste from a shell without unsheathing my pgptron ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but a gpg would-be replacement that doesn't have clearsign is not actually usable as a replacement
asciilifeform: but can we have a final bullet in the head of ascii mutilation and magical dashes ?
