mircea_popescu: (/me vaguely suspects that much like the french get the trophy for "last and therefore best supersonic air transport", the ru may get the trophy for "last and therefore best" fighter jet. i somehow doubt a better one's ever getting made, by anyone)
trinque: I wonder if that will develop into something specific against US-supported terrorism.
trinque: I recall recently Putin calling for an international something against terrorism.
ben_vulpes: but when i want to build builtins in my rental, i use compressed air and nails.
mircea_popescu: i saw it on my ipad from jobs-san
mircea_popescu: i thought they just had san
mircea_popescu: bah. i meant reddit lol
trinque: I eagerly await the overturning of the world, as it has been chewing the back of my mind a long while.
trinque: obviously I'm not surprised at that.
ascii_field: the demise of this box is unfortunate. i was gonna put an experimental version of www-ized 'v' explorer there, also
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267816 << to continue this thread, my contention is that while many things I write with special notation could just as well be s-exprs, making me read and write these things as s-exprs is catastrophic ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i didn't boither measuring early, who the fuck cares, but i would guess it did 10k an hour or some shit
mircea_popescu: ascii_field btw, i started a measuring, my node pulls ~600 blocks/hour
shinohai: K jurov. mats sent me sufficient btc to purchase a pogo, but I only got an inferior drive with it. Planned on getting something a little more robust
trinque: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/09/us-mideast-crisis-syria-exclusive-idUSKCN0R91H720150909 << I continue to see the future demise of the US empire in this.
jurov: shinohai: i'd recommend to use 120G version instead, 60G will be obsolete soon
shinohai: Thx jurov. On my list of items to purchase when I actually get a working pogo binary.
ascii_field: perhaps i ought to have said, 'contains very little glue'
mircea_popescu: but i don't think it detracts from the actual point.
mircea_popescu: try telling that to as-saffah tho, "i've lost baghdad once a week"
mircea_popescu: ahh grep * how i love you.
shinohai: Thx. 2600 was like the first irc server I ever used.
ascii_field: 'I did some ink backgrounds for my upcoming artworks, and I thought I'd share the textures with the rest of the world. Free for non-commercial/commercial use. Feel free to post on your blogs etc. Crediting is not required, but would be nice.'
punkman: ascii_field, I wouldn't think fake capacity numbers are a problem, but yeah I guess you gotta write $x GB of data to it that can't be compressed away ☟︎
jurov: punkman i got a crate of pogos, doing some research about matchin'them with cheap ssd's
jurov: okay but i wanted something cheap and still performant enough to use with pogo
VariaVarietatis: shinohai: I looked in the logs for this info found nothing sorry also stuff on maillist is only about building not using.
VariaVarietatis: shinohai: how would I know?
shinohai: It is running fine, at least I see no issues.
jurov: sooo...an scam-cheap "KingDian" SSD came today from shenzhen, i have proceeded to test it with "badblocks -b 4096 -w -t random"
VariaVarietatis: I should be using my real ip also right? not 127.0.0.1?
VariaVarietatis: no I found this one just to check to see if it works
VariaVarietatis: shinohai: datadir? i'm running one copy connected then used another copy to run LC_ALL=C ./bitcoind getbalance 12R4kPeSK6i9427ctH15j2NcJ1ST1FT21C gives me 0.0 but checking on blockchain it shows me this account has 27 btc
shinohai: I added an alias so I don't have to type all that every time but it works for me
VariaVarietatis: so how do I use it?
VariaVarietatis: shinohai: yea and I put my local ip 127.0.0.1 and node 195.211.154.159
analmaster: i have returned
shinohai prefers assets I can really hold: https://i.imgur.com/nNedV3f.jpg
shinohai: Paper just gives me the illusion of owning something I actually do not.
shinohai: But God forbid you "destroy" it, i.e. melt to make your own bullion.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1268026 << am i the only one getting a surreal usg flavour from eating this? it has a distinct feel of 'see, this is what you get for using something usg can't magic into existence to make you whole' ☝︎
funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-08-2014#816523 <-- and i am back here yet again lol ☝︎
funkenstein_: guy says: "can't find gold, i dig it up every year to check".
kakobrekla: only to figure out "i dont want to go back to croatia" later on.
asciilifeform: i mean, how does this work? they were in comparty and now have nothing to do ?
kakobrekla: wouldnt say lots but i know of one such case happening at this very moment. only its even worse than described.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 03:51:24; mircea_popescu: mats that's nice to have. i always puzzled over the incredibly poor security of mobile as a design decision
funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267185 <-- I'm told the phrase is antiquated and mostly used in jest today. Perhaps interesting that the translation of "revolution" is more akin to "molting" than "spinning". ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267191 << i see no such restriction in therealbitcoin... ☝︎
asciilifeform: can't 'i'll just take one sip'
punkman: asciilifeform: I run noscript, a lot of it works.
punkman: what is 'sane browser' ? << must render HTML+CSS, with pictures. I don't need webfonts/flash/silverlight/java/webgl. A scripting language that doesn't suck would be nice, so I can perhaps write some userscripts for certain websites. Small amounts of signed javascript might be okay.
asciilifeform: and i fucking hate the word 'secure'
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 08:40:07; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267355 << i must confess i am very much enamoured with the idea of a b-a web browser.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267767 << this is a CATASTROPHICALLY bad idea, because any attempt is simply asking for self-delusionary masamunification (sorry gabriel_laddel, but you know precisely what i mean.) -- this being, 'aha this is a turd, but WE made it and therefore doesn't stink and is somehow edible' ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: shinohai: i run a mailserver, of approximately the same kind as mircea_popescu, but when i need to communicate with 'civilians' i end up forced to use gmail.
shinohai: Ironically I have zero problem with Spam on my email provider. Trilema hates it though.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:43:01; mircea_popescu: my spamsolution is that all incoming from emails i never sent to is autodropped.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:41:47; mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes let it be noted that i had no problem witgh spam, in spuite of not using google.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:35:19; gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: but goddamnit I need interns. I got maxima loaded into my master lisp proc over the weekend and I'm going to play around with that whenever I have free time.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267652 << do you ever, when driving car, think 'i need to harness more horses to this' ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: which is why there is not the option of living on a farm in the countryside. you ARE in a city, and the choice is between mexico city and tokyo. i'll take tokyo^H^H^H^Hemacs tyvm.
asciilifeform: if i want a line feed, i will PRESS THE FUCKING HUGE KEY ON MY KBD WITH THE ARROW ON IT
asciilifeform: and ftr i fucking HATE nano. it SHITS SPURIOUS LINEFEEDS into pasted text !!
shinohai: I changed the ip in my alias, dunno why it is still connecting there
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 05:58:00; BingoBoingo: <trinque> I am trying to make a point of BingoBoingo's lamentations << I grad school I was in serious discussions where we lamented fiber optic was not used for project film over hundreds of miles.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267505 << like a dung beetle, google does not devour anything valuable to you and i. the only possible exception might be the usenet archive ☝︎
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: 'cause i'm not seeing it.
shinohai: @ asciilifeform is your node back up and running? One I was connected to is down :/
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 05:04:15; trinque: BingoBoingo: I would say mr gabriel_laddel has it, that all syntaxes can be done within the lisp system, and simultaneously you find that the vast majority aren't necessary
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 04:57:07; gabriel_laddel: because you can always "open up" any "structure" and are guaranteed to get more of the same i.e., lisp, i.e., sexprs
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 04:33:11; pete_dushenski: though i have to say, asciilifeform, for a starved man, you think mighty clearly.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 05:30:29; trinque: BingoBoingo: I would much rather download someone's signed lisp program and run that locally than have this horrible half-creature that grabs code from everywhere, tries to "sandbox" it, and runs without so much as a gpg fart in the wind
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267355 << i must confess i am very much enamoured with the idea of a b-a web browser. ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: <punkman> I assumed "save-as" meant a button already in my browser << Of all things Chromium on OpenBSd has this along with most other browsers
gabriel_laddel: Now, I don't *know* exactly what particular sexpr will 'click' for my program, so I'll write a few versions, find something I like and then distribute it.
ben_vulpes: no stop i have to go do things to a girl
thestringpuller: i read an article that F. Scott Fitzgerald used to revise for years after his first draft...
mircea_popescu: i would estimate less than 1% of trilema words were ever rewritten. it's pretty much first pass.
gabriel_laddel: oh right, I knew that
mircea_popescu: that, i do not.
mircea_popescu: note that im not saying this is a good idea. i'm entirely unconvinced at the moment. but still, fwiw, iwii.
mircea_popescu: i still manage to distribute trilema to people who don't program
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: and wrt "hacking around until something clicks", this is the only way I know how to work on UIs and other 'finicky' programs? You certainly don't distribute this to friends who don't program.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: as for that quote, agreed - I should have quoted 3 paragraphs up.
punkman: the save-as button I have, does work in many occasions. but mostly doesn't
punkman: I assumed "save-as" meant a button already in my browser
punkman: BingoBoingo: ok, how do I save-as on vimeo?
mircea_popescu: i r disappoint.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 05:17:33; gabriel_laddel: "On the historical evidence I shall be short. Carl Friedrich Gauss, the Prince of Mathematicians but also somewhat of a coward, was certainly aware of the fate of Galileo —and could probably have predicted the calumniation of Einstein— when he decided to suppress his discovery of non-Euclidean geometry, thus leaving it to Bolyai and Lobatchewsky to receive the flak. It is probably more illuminati
mircea_popescu: occasionally i fish through the mire, as a curiosity thing. but it's quite different
mircea_popescu: my spamsolution is that all incoming from emails i never sent to is autodropped. ☟︎
trinque: I get a terrible hobby.
trinque: so I run my own mailserver, and I get what
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes let it be noted that i had no problem witgh spam, in spuite of not using google. ☟︎
trinque: I give up; google owns mail
trinque: ben_vulpes: cron job doing sa-learn on incoming spam is choking the box; while moving I have IRC up there instead of at home, proving... laggy
BingoBoingo: trinque: Fastmail.fm isn't the shittiest. Can't really endorse any email provider, but they are the least condemned as far as I know.
trinque: BingoBoingo: I'm about ready to pull the plug on this server and give all smtp over to the enemy
