mircea_popescu: Framedragger honestly, that it supports tor seems to me a counter argument to using anything.
mircea_popescu: this is a point - script should prolly check for local cache first
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gotta cut the branches in the proper order lest you break your teeth.
mircea_popescu: that's why i want them stored in deedbot and sealed up.
mircea_popescu: look, we can't not sign the things - these asswipes KEEP CHANGING THEM
mircea_popescu: eventually people will build management trees on top of this. much like phf's "make deedbot lines print out gray".
mircea_popescu: if item x, whatever it may be, can only be used to do Y then it belongs in Y's tree
mircea_popescu: it seems to me they should be in trb tree. which tradeoffs do you see ?
mircea_popescu: ya not the end of the world. pretty big though. see what trinqwue says
mircea_popescu: mod6 specifically, iirc it's tens of mb not gb. amirite ?
mircea_popescu: (i'm not saying you're making a mess, i'm just saying - we're stuck with all this grandfathered in bullshit, such as boost, openssh, who the fuck knows what else even. qt ffs.)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: at least this'd allow some basis for proper management of this mess, rather than current adhocness
mircea_popescu: makefiles also works yes. i'm thinking more in the mid term than for the next version necessarily.
mircea_popescu: could have a standard disclaimer up top, have it ignore #s or w/e.
mircea_popescu: and it knows that if the flag is on, it goes to where deed so and so is and checks it, debases it, unzips it etc.
mircea_popescu: what i'm thinking is : the binary/payload in question, base64'd, deedbotted, and the build script modified to take an optional parameter to "allow deedbot import from known signatures" and then it can have a $ifdef for "buildoot"="deedbot.soandso"
mircea_popescu: yeah, it would in this instance, but it'll become unmanageable in short order. because it's not just one such item
mircea_popescu: yeah what i;m thinking is, since this "we gotta import crap" thing is going to continue, might as well put some sort of deed process into it
mircea_popescu: teh lady doth protest too much, when the fuck did the "modern democracies" bloc turn into such a fucking lapdog ?
mircea_popescu: june 15th : "nato runs massive baltic exercise, with little russian meddling" ; july 6th : "putin's military buildup in the baltic stokes invasion fears".
mircea_popescu: if not for hope, how would the jam-tomorrow socialism exist.
mircea_popescu: sure, sure, and then microsoft can buy it for a trillion and then etcetera.
mircea_popescu: if they had half a brain they'd give up the pretense and go learn how to do plumbing or something useful more alligned with their intellectual capabilities.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's relatively few addresses actually in use, you can crack their hash in a minute or two.
mircea_popescu: me has had plan drawn up to include small donation to verboten list in all txn processed for what, 3years now ? as anti-this pill.
mircea_popescu: it's not even worth dignifying with a mixing campaign.
mircea_popescu: phf many of them not really much work beyond "cylindrical kite". light wood structure + wax paper.
mircea_popescu: imagine, 2nd anniversary of independence coming up soonish
mircea_popescu: rifle gets residue from the propellant. rail gun is magnetic, gets all residue from environment, also creates new residue out of solids.
mircea_popescu: then the capacitors need replacing, the diodes are burned out and the whole thing's gunked over.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. they are insanely expensive. you're thinking "oh, it's like a gun, hence railgun". no, it's not. your gun fires a magazine, then needs cleaning, then fires another and will do 10k cycles or more. the rail gun fires one thing, needs servicing, and will do maybe 3 ? 5 ? 12 ?
mircea_popescu: 90% of it goes into "getting a guy there to do it" and 1% or so into "cartridge price tag"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but, in all war, the cost of ammo is mostly a cost of opportunity.
mircea_popescu: if it's not worth hitting with a ~$1k rocket, it's sure as fuck not worth hitting with a ~200k railgun shot.
mircea_popescu: so you're better off hiding the energy in mass than in speed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not every bit, no. because drag goes up ^1/3 with mass and ^3 with speed.
mircea_popescu: just because they couldn't in 1920 doesn't mean they can't today.
