asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu unfortunately i have not had time to write a manual. let's see if you can figure out how it works.
sexy_saffron: do I have to upload my key to a server first?
sexy_saffron: I don't have it registered yet though, how do I register it?
sexy_saffron: >trinque I'm following the steps from the wiki, does that change the process?
sexy_saffron: I'm trying to register my GPG key
mats: i know approximately nothing about maths, so a list like this is helpful to me
asciilifeform: i probably could go on and on but doubt that anybody gives a fuck.
asciilifeform: mats: re: compiler construction, i prefer aho's 'dragon book' to appel
asciilifeform: mats: sipser and 'handbook of crypto' (crc? he doesn't say which) - i still have.
asciilifeform: mats: i had a good number of the books listed in the link, in school
mircea_popescu: the upside of bad memory. i enjoy reading trilema as much as anyone
mircea_popescu: so i wrote sometime somewhere a license which basically said "it is illegal to use this software". anyone recall where ?
trinque: what I see is a gradual attempt to normalize location tracking of everyone; maybe I'm wrong.
mats: i also have yet to decide how to solve the np-complete problems in the spec
mircea_popescu: then again hm. i guess there's no better to be hgad
mircea_popescu: i dun see it
asciilifeform: funnily the ru translation (which i was reading last night) is 10x better
asciilifeform: i would be genuinely astonished if the enemy were not focusing his effort on precisely this kind of poison
mircea_popescu: which is why i made a special instance to talk to you specifically.
asciilifeform: for all i know, all 3 of my nodez are in mike hearn's ban list
mircea_popescu: jurov i dunno, hanbot complained about her tx not going through, i look at the node she's talking to, it's there, i look at the network, it's not there.
asciilifeform: i have noted this before.
jurov: but how did they figured this is one, i have nfi
mircea_popescu: anyway, appreciate that i'm having a node respun with a -connect to you, so may take a little.
mircea_popescu: i dun think so.
asciilifeform: i don't suppose there is anything unusual about this tx ?
mircea_popescu: see if you figure out wtf is wrong with it because i can't see it
trinque: "here is everywhere" I think applies.
asciilifeform: i've seen this called 'bush effect', after the re-election of bush II in '04. a crowd of people whined re: 'how did he win, i don't know anyone who voted for him'
mircea_popescu: yes, you wouldn't. i also don't know anyone who shops at hot topic. or at kfc.
asciilifeform: i don't personally know ~anyone~ who uses the 'official' version
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform still same principle, and as historical accident, where i happened to notice the strange.
mircea_popescu: perhaps not yet on the grounds that why give the hand away, i guess.
mircea_popescu: i'm sorta half-surprised they're not trying to sue me for using "an unauthorised wordpress fork" which doesn't have all the fucking holes.
mircea_popescu: but i suspect the makers of fucking TV boxes were mandated to put the source in
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have no idea why the thing would disconnect for any reason other than what we discussed through the pool weighing
pete_dushenski: “If you’re wearing something that says ‘Come and f*** me’, you’d better be good on your feet ... I don’t think I’m saying anything controversial am I?”
pete_dushenski: “Technically speaking, however you want to look at it, this was all my doing and I take full responsibility. You can’t f*** about with people, especially people who wear ‘I Heart Rape’ and ‘On Your Knees’ badges ... those motorcycle gangs, that’s what they do. You can’t paint yourself into a corner and then say whose brush is this? You have to take responsibility. I mean, I was naive.”
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu (corrected) dulap still behind; i had a thought that the very possibility of this problem is an atrocious idiocy - why should an infrastructural node (so0opernoude!!!) rely on the whims of wild animals to learn latest blocks? we need the 'nobles'-never-disconnect table. ☟︎

pete_dushenski: ’t seem like it got used as part of a botnet or as a proxy server. This new version is hosted on wordpress.com where I don’t have to worry about anything other than the content. Nice. I like this." << from persson's personal homepage
pete_dushenski: "The old notch.net domain was hosted on an amazon instance I managed myself. It was set up many many years ago, and I was very lazy about doing security or maintenance updates to it. A couple of weeks ago, it went down. I tried to log in, but my security credentials were no longer valid, so I assume it got hacked. Weirdly, the network logs showed very little data coming in or out after it went down, so it doesn
asciilifeform: hey dunt look at me, if that were me i'd be filling it up with scrap metal.
mikaeldice: I'm on Fedora now..
gribble: mikaeldice was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 39 weeks, 3 days, 22 hours, 22 minutes, and 27 seconds ago: <mikaeldice> I reinstalled Windows as a dual boot after a couple years of solely Debian so I could play a game.. It felt dirty.
ben_vulpes: i'd be irate about all of this value evaporating as soon as i move out of this place, but it's saving me the cost of relocating to a larger apartment next year and the associated switching costs.
ben_vulpes: previously, lady v put up crushed foam panels on the ceiling, and i installed the seam and crown molding: http://imgur.com/yevDNKh
asciilifeform: this thing ~will~ have to work without my pushing it, if only after i am shot - which, for all i know, could be scheduled for monday
asciilifeform: i would ~like~ for this to change, yes
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-08-2015#1256426 << why, are you gonna do it? because thus far every single bit that involved serious surgery on therealbitcoin just sorta sat there until i did it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but i reckon the whole shebang "here, do this this this" list is getting closer.
asciilifeform: it is telling that, of my three therealbitcoin nodes, the only one which has not suffered an unexplained malfunction of any kind is the one which is where i can personally see it !!
assbot: Logged on 30-07-2014 03:06:22; mircea_popescu: specifically : an atm requires a fortress. we have not yet built the fortress. when we do, you will know we have, because i will kidnap a number of "world leaders" wives and daughters to be publicly raped there as to make the fucking point that in fact it IS a fortress.
asciilifeform: running an honest public node is expensive. far more than i realized. and will be getting more so.
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 13:58:47; mircea_popescu: here's what i propose : paul graham eat 500 calories for every 1k calories he expends.
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 22:45:57; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes well i have nobody with an axe to ship there rightnao
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256166 << even if you did, the point i was trying to make is that we have right now this risky situation where running a proper honest node actually costs serious dough, and it is not clear that this cost can ever be recoverable ☝︎
asciilifeform: i did not expect to see it from a traffic jam below d.c.
asciilifeform: flying low enough to be identified for what it is; did not fall down (at least not where i could see it...)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-08-2015#1256316 << i saw a working 'osprey' for the first time a few weeks ago. my first thought was 'wish i weren't stuck in traffic under that thing' ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 30-08-2015 00:40:20; pete_dushenski: sikorsky sea king helicopter for gw ? sounds ruskie (yes, i know it isn't)
pete_dushenski: sikorsky sea king helicopter for gw ? sounds ruskie (yes, i know it isn't) ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: "god fucking forbid i ask for the best rum in the world (centenario anejo especial) because they don't import it from nearby costa rica" << lol
mircea_popescu: they got badly faked mumm, they don't got the local stuff. and god fucking forbid i ask for the best rum in the world (centenario anejo especial) because they don't import it from nearby costa rica
mircea_popescu: they carry all the fucktarded imported us shit i wouldn't pour in my drain. beefeather ? srsly ? to what, kill lice with ?
pete_dushenski: i ate smoked salmon exlusively for first 3 years, then not again for another 25
asciilifeform: hanbot: strangely, i liked it as a boy, but no longer..
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256165 << i think 'later' might be 'now' ☝︎
gabriel_laddel: and here I was under the impression stas didn't like penis.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell bingoboingo no real opinion of lifted minitrucks. lifting isn't really my thing, per se. but i can see the appeal.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256251 <<< to this, i raise https://tribkcpq.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/geoduck.jpg ☝︎
mircea_popescu: no i mean like, "here is this worm that came out of my wife. turns out it actually is a person!"
mircea_popescu: i guess there's the texas dip for girls "of society" which means ~jack anymore, and i suppose they still do bar mitzvah in some households but srsly...
pete_dushenski: i'm not sure i've been economically independent quite long enough to pen this myself
pete_dushenski: i've been mostly keeping up on the logs
pete_dushenski: i have returned !
gabriel_laddel: I've a thing for faces.
trinque: rather artistic, that one. I like it
moonpunter: eh. i think your life is defined by your achievements. nothing against those with a lot, nothing against those with nothing. nothing against helping others by choice. etc. i just don't feel strongly about any of it. spend too much time selfishly focusing on my own life, i thinks.
moonpunter: never understood the "commoner" paradigm. what is this a magic deck? if so, i'm a ltd. ed. rare holofoil, bitches.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: more specifically, I'd love to hear more about the justice system some time
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I work a lot but have a new crush. 5/10?
mircea_popescu: and i don't think i've not gotten scammed for any item i bought or service i hired since at least 1875.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes well i have nobody with an axe to ship there rightnao ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i<asciilifeform> only swept under carpet << of course.
asciilifeform: and every time i 'park' it, when i come back its starfish is full of boulders
asciilifeform: i'm not really getting scammed because i personally did not pay.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is paying somebody a pretty penny for that thing. and i am coming to think that he is getting scammed.
asciilifeform: if this were a project with an actual budget, and the machine were colocated, i would include a lithium-cell-powered MAINS LOGGER in there. and then WELD IT SHUT with own hands
asciilifeform: i am reminded of the old thread re: mpex disk drives.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i strongly suspect that if it were somehow the case that trilema goes down for weeks-to-a-month every time it loses power, it would also lose power with some regularity...
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256108 << empirically, it does very poorly. though, interestingly, i am reading the log now and may have discovered another force at work ☝︎
mircea_popescu: mmm i thought it was rebooted.
asciilifeform: whether because devils pulled cable out of my box individually, or whole rack, or entire warehouse - i cannot know
asciilifeform: all i know is that the fucking box lost mains power.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what the proper item to measure is.
trinque: yeah, you want a ton of fast RAM, I'd assume, and not want to be writing to disk constantly
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 02:47:55; mircea_popescu: i think the latter kids don't really grok this "don't reboot machine " thing
asciilifeform: (not all spare time is created equal. i'm both free from paying work AND awake enough to program, for perhaps a few hours a month!)
asciilifeform: i, on the other hand, donated my spare time, of which i don't actually have very much.
