a111: Logged on 2018-01-20 11:42 spyked: I am working on adding comments (one of the yet-untested ideas is reading only gpg-signed comments), but that's a low-priority item on todo list atm
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-20#1773258 << i dun think this is such hot stuff ; i personally wouldn't bother to sign just to leave a comment. but if you care, here's an alternative : make a bot, have comments be sent to it via command. iirc danielpbarron had something somewhat in this vein, dun recall how automated tho ☝︎
mircea_popescu: spyked re pingback thing, doesn't even have to be that hand-generated ; just walk the db, extract all links, construct the calls as shown and make curl calls. can be a bash script. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you will need a scripting lang to do scripty things howsoever you turn it
spyked: in theory, the browser itself could do the highlighting. but this breaks the URL scheme by introducing a magic "#selection-x.y-z.w" class of anchors.
spyked: (what I'm trying to do is separate the browser/linking text snippets part from the need to embed an entire js interpreter in there.)
spyked: yeah. ideally, I would like to be able to look at the link and figure out to which text snippet it refers manually. or at least have a way to compute without parsing html. hm.
spyked: aha. in particular, trilema anchors are generated based on the occurence of js dom-tree elements. wait, I'm gonna find an example
a111: Logged on 2018-01-06 02:56 mircea_popescu: by title, author, paragraph and word offset.
mircea_popescu: very different from the alt-6 mark style of kbd term
mircea_popescu: highlighting in this novel sense is a mouse concept
spyked: but yeah, ^ w3m code is weird. and besides, I don't know how text highlighting is supposed to work in a text-based browser. highlighting seems to be a terminal thing, which is weird, because both w3m and lynx/links can be compiled with mouse support! which is essential for that js snippet in trilema, because iirc it relies on onMouse* events.
spyked: mircea_popescu, I wanna first get a working item (js highlighting for trilema anchors) then make everything link into a static binary, then post them. as they are right now, I expect them to be unusable on many systems (e.g. musl-gentoo).
shinohai: That w3m-js code is hairy indeed spyked .... its on back burner because been helping test some V changes and muddling through EuCrypt.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 02:14 mircea_popescu: recall at some point was some pompous asshole locklin, "scientist" ? there's no end conceivable of supply. once one swallows the "always has choice" usg pill, that one becomes this. it's inescapable.
mircea_popescu: as to the chat, i'd much hear your malformed oppinions than http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1772852 ; http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1772915 ; http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22+orlo%22 ; http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=yarvin ; http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=Yudkowsky and the rest of the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-08#1767149 ☝︎☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: well so then!
spyked: which reminds me that there are a lot of things that I've left hanging since december, e.g. the w3m-js shinohai found that I rebased, and the ns-js library. left hanging because I haven't yet figured how to make trilema js anchors highlight in w3m-js (or any other text browser)
spyked: hm. "This exists because sourceforge went down for a week during July 2015, making it necessary to maintain local copies."; yeah, publishing these makes a lot of sense. I don't know if I'd find all the libraries I used for the blog if I were to look for them again.
mircea_popescu: hey, there ~already exists~ a sort of primitive "code shelf" on s.mg site : http://minigame.biz/eulora/source/
spyked: so I'd probably sign them separately?
spyked: there are some dependencies on cl-who and a few other libraries, which for now are taken as they are (similarly to trb "deps")
mircea_popescu was considering making a similar item too, it's a pretty good idea. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: can go on the shelf!
spyked: sure, would be happy to cut apart the useful (non-thetarpit) bits and genesis.
mircea_popescu: yes. for the lisp languishes reason above.
spyked: hi mircea_popescu. sure, I remember russell's thing. but is that really a problem? (as long as there's a republic to squash the cocksure idiots)
shinohai: Ah neat, thanks spiked! Will give a look-over
spyked: shinohai, I use a self-rolled static page generator based on Common Lisp (CL-WHO) (and Pandoc for parsing Markdown, but pandoc and markdown are both optional, of course). I have the source code published on shithub, but it's mostly hacked together, so in this sense not very different from any static site generator. https://github.com/spyked/thetarpit.org <-- coad and text
mircea_popescu: you ever hear that russell butade, "the problem with the world is that the idiots are cocksure while the smart people are full of doubt" ?
shinohai: What do you use to generate your pages spyked, if I may ask? I have wp-mp of course, but my host charges more to set up mysql and crap so haven't ever done that yet.
shinohai: I was pretty impressed with your blog for sure, I am a terrible blogger myself. I might do better if I actually had a server to set up a blog on, but future project.
spyked: thanks shinohai. :D the plan is to (at the very least) periodically share items of republican interest that I'm working on (e.g. ada lisp). progress has been very slow so far, but it's picking up
shinohai: Oh hey spyked .... nice of you to pop in. imho you are welcome anytime.
spyked: I am working on adding comments (one of the yet-untested ideas is reading only gpg-signed comments), but that's a low-priority item on todo list atm ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 18:34 mircea_popescu: !~later tell spyked hey, does your tarpit not send pingbacks or is there some error ? what's the response if you say curl -v -A "Mozilla/5.0" -r 0-4096 --connect-timeout 30 --max-time 10 "http://www.dianacoman.com/xmlrpc.php" --header "Content-Type: text/xml" --data "<?xmlversion="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>pingback.ping</methodName><params><param><value><string>http://trilema.com/2017/re-reading-is-the-most-powerful-tool/
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773164 <-- it doesn't send them, but now that you mention it, I might be able to add a (manually-operated) thing that does this. otherwise, thetarpit is just a set of statically-generated pages via handcrafted lisp-based contraption ☝︎
spyked: ftr, asciilifeform's ch4 seal (grabbed from http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ffa/ffa_ch4_ffacalc.vpatch.asciilifeform.sig ) also seems to be binary (found it while double-checking my copies) ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 19:11 phf: his 4th sig is non plaintext by the way, i threw it in since the eater ate, but this probably should be an anti-policy
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773176 <-- yikes! sorry phf, I fixed it (and double-checked, as I should have in the first place) --> http://lucian.mogosanu.ro/v/seals/ffa_ch4_ffacalc.vpatch.spyked.sig ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 17:56 mircea_popescu: !~later tell spyked "Note that this article is not meant to replace the actual thing. If you want to understand FFA properly, go read FFA. And just so that we understand each other, that DeGrasse Tyson guy is an imbecile" << no links ? what did links ever do to you!
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 17:42 shinohai: This was actually a good piece too: http://thetarpit.org/posts/y04/069-on-intellectual-ownership.html
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 16:57 asciilifeform: http://thetarpit.org/archive.html << pretty great stuff. he even reviews what happens to be some of asciilifeform's favourite msdos-era gamez.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 16:21 asciilifeform: hey spyked ! i like your summary of the calc ops.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773121 http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773136 http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773144 hey, thanks! ☝︎☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-12 19:52 mircea_popescu: that's nice. now go read the logs / do useful shit. the lols part is the worst place for kids to start immitating.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773115 <-- /me raises hand. ohai! tuned in read-only since last seen, still have a lot to read before starting to voice opinions IMHO. also doing things, as per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1769983 ☝︎☝︎
shinohai: lul no coincidence twitter rhymes with shitter
shinohai: tfw sifting through old trb stuff and you find "rotor-db-configure-fix.patch"
phf: to be fair that applies to most things linked from tmsr
phf: i think it's adorable
shinohai: Well that appears to be issue >>> bMaxPacketSize0 64
asciilifeform: i'm still waiting for anybody to suggest a pill.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 10:14 diana_coman: for the curious there are in fact 2 prolific-stamped documents describing pl2303 and pl2303x; pl2303x seems to be a sort of upgrade to 64bits but why couldn't it be properly identified as distinct I don't know
mircea_popescu: there's a subtle difference in drivers ; both claim to be the same one but are not
shinohai: This kernel has the pl2303 driver
asciilifeform: or alternatively, use dongle that the kernel knows about
shinohai: I knew of straight serial port, will have to buy solder
asciilifeform: shinohai: gotta build kernel that knows about the dongle
asciilifeform: shinohai: there's a 5v ttl serialport in there, too, if yer willing to solder
shinohai: It is most definitely NOT showing up as /dev/ttyUSB* though
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later tell asciilifeform Is possible to operate fg from pogoplug using usb-to-serial cable?
mircea_popescu: it's such a pleasure to see half a dozen people work as a team without needing to blather.
mircea_popescu: my god these people, when they're on point they're on point. 4 new tyres + 5 new pneumatic tubes, off and emplaced, alligned and everything, like 20 minutes including the drive there.
asciilifeform: i suppose those are scarce, rationed, these days. like car bomb.
mircea_popescu: what, am i to surmise we're not as cool as snowden and strauss-kahn ? or rather that the empire sunk to such a depth it is not even capable of finding mendacious prostitutes/chambermaids anymore ?
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder the rape accusations aren't flowing, come to think of it.
asciilifeform: gave impression of elaborate trollism tho
a111: Logged on 2013-04-30 18:42 tiberiusiv: ;;tell mircea_popescu you are a fraud and a scammer
mircea_popescu: how about you know, truly ancient lulz, anyone recall tiberius angry canadian dood ?
asciilifeform: i dun think i have enuff bits in my registers, to count the reddit scumola
asciilifeform: was thinking specifically of the inept meatspace 'detectives'
mircea_popescu: oh, you mean other than the "i have my spurious "bitcoin is scamming" verbiage all over reddit " guy ?
asciilifeform: and i have this notion that this is the n-th, not 1st or even 2nd case of the pathology. but for some reason can't immediately find in the logs the others.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 19:13 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cuz there's no evident link from trinque to michael trinque for idiots who don't understand what gpg is, too lazy to click to your blog or read enough log to see stanislav, there's ~nothing "interesting" on mircea popescu besides a bunch of butthurt idiots complaining of ~same nonsense, and so on.
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773183 << I dunno if 'interesting' was der Unterschied here; I'd wager it was more: "$realname1 appears to live outside of normal pantsuit spirit summoning range.. I'll try $realname2". Note this was -after- failing at summoning pantsuit spirit to #trilema itself ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in any case -- as long as 1) "own www", the whole approach just failed.
asciilifeform: not as if this used to work, or anyffin
mircea_popescu: google is not particularly useful these days.
asciilifeform: this prompted me to try the 'googleate own name' exercise. hilarious snoar, as always. finds 1) my www 2) buncha folx who are not related to me in any way i know of 3) lame softwarepatent from a defunkt slaveship i used to row on 4) bitcoin-otc

asciilifeform: yea definitely Not Right Thing
phf: his 4th sig is non plaintext by the way, i threw it in since the eater ate, but this probably should be an anti-policy ☟︎
mircea_popescu: kinda what tranny-ism, as a pars pro toto representative of pantsuitism, is all about : an undefensible pile of ineffectual bullshit.
trinque: contacting the guy's work, mother, etc., is not defensible
shinohai: Well, ben_vulpes has given it every opportunity to speak/defend position. Now deserves scammorz tag.

a111: Logged on 2018-01-18 23:36 mircea_popescu: what literate code is all about, nothing keeps you from putting a philosophy.preamble file in there.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, there's an evident join here : http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-18#1772670 and http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-27#1759127 are evidently the same item. have a comment format for it and bam, project philosophy file with press history. ☝︎☝︎☟︎
shinohai: This was actually a good piece too: http://thetarpit.org/posts/y04/069-on-intellectual-ownership.html ☟︎
mircea_popescu: joy doth not appeared to be killed any ; but the "hey, things that occur must conform to my mental model" look on old hag's face is fucking typical.
asciilifeform: ( certain american truck rental co , but they all attach massive dongle to keyring, so as harder to lose, or so is the idea )
asciilifeform: that's a rented 'ford' 150, i recognize the cardboard on the key
