ben_vulpes: "Few things here appear to be more rare or valuable than persons capable and willing to deploy humiliation, particularly the necessary educational sort." << word
phf: aaaand since i don't want to think about any of this shit right now, you get a multiline born until i get to it :>
phf: but i'm not sure that i want it to spit that extra bit, even though it's missing, hmm...
phf: missing "atever, bucnha them"
a111: Logged on 2017-12-25 19:00 mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record and in case it isn't entirely self-evident on the basis of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-25#1758486 : whenever some self-proclaimed "sovereign" of the fiat sort tries to say "hey, we have a law", the correct response is to a) point out to that self-proclaimed faux sovereign that there exist other just as valid because just as self-proclaimed faux sovereigns (the eu, russia, china, whatever, bucnha them
phf: which i think is a problem in quoter, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-25#1758552 ☝︎
phf: but the main reason is that i realized that cl-irc probably doesn't properly split lines, which needs to be solved
phf: i think deedbot spits two entries sometimes with the wallet functionality
asciilifeform: keep the 1:1 eaten:shat rule for bots ☟︎
asciilifeform: well just that 1
asciilifeform: ( however, possibly it is , to be fair, on an uncharacteristically decent, for plebelands, pipe . )
asciilifeform: meanwhile zoolag, a machine the size of a man's fist, not only has 0 problem keeping up with tip of spear, but slightly pacing ahead of, e.g., bci & co
asciilifeform: no shortage of www frontends for those iirc
shinohai: if i am curious to know what height the btrash is at, etc
shinohai: saves me from having to run the trash myself, im poor!
asciilifeform: 'When AirPlaying from each of them, however, Netflix would throw “Error 30103″ every goddam time' << ahahaha
asciilifeform: 'The Apple TV was connected to a Bose CineMate soundbar via Optical Audio connection but the Bose system was in indeterminable working condition. For reasons beyond the pale of explanation or sanity, the Bose system didn’t have any physical buttons on it. Not for power, not for volume, not for anything.' << lol!!
asciilifeform: ^ next: the little pe that saved christmas
deedbot: http://www.contravex.com/2017/12/28/the-little-elf-that-saved-christmas/ << Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski - The little Elf that saved Christmas.
asciilifeform: and not because display expensive -- i have e.g. chinese usb 'watt meter' dongle with display, that cost iirc 3bux
asciilifeform: in mostly but not wholly-unrelated noose, asciilifeform searched the market for little lcd thing one could plug into usb jack, to have trbtron display height at all times while it sits on the shelf. but TO THIS DAY none exist that cost less than THE FUCKING MACHINE lol
asciilifeform: ( incl. tx )
asciilifeform: 99.99999%+ of what gets 'pushed' to a trb node, is thrown straight into the rubbish
asciilifeform: pushing dun do much for a trb node, who needs at any given time THAT ONE SPECIFIC NEXT block ☟︎
mod6: Sure, what's the IP nowadays?
asciilifeform: mod6 plox to re-add zoolag to trb roster.
asciilifeform: ACHTUNG, PANZERS! zoolag -- seems to be at tip of the chain.
asciilifeform: mod6: when i think about shitoshi's idiocy that 'aggression' replaces, i froth with rage. the sheer stink of winblowzism, 'let's all run nodes for 2h a day after booting winblowz to play whorecraft-III, boot time is sooospeshul'
mod6: im at ~500351 -- getting close to full-sync. hoping to get it there so can have mine on the republican list. will let you know how it goes with 'aggression'
phf: i think that maybe it should also return a link to original, or maybe post more than one line
mod6: im running with alf's aggression now too.
a111: 2013-02-10 <benkay> i'm waiting for the developing world to figure it out
asciilifeform: i run with aggression ( from this point on i will run NO nodes without aggression ) so boot time is irrelevant
ben_vulpes: well at boot you pushgetblocks to everyone you connect to
asciilifeform currently puzzling over 'motherfuckers, e.g. deedbot is 501444-high, why is it physically possible for zoolag to have open connection to it and yet sit at 501436 for 20+ min'
ben_vulpes: nah, couldn't possibly cost more to run than it enables people to scam
asciilifeform: oh hah i thought that www croaked long ago
a111: to fix the UNENDING STREAM of precious bull run
BingoBoingo: OMG I'll stop transmitting my contagious typos
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> !#born ben_vulpes << This would understate his age because, nick change
asciilifeform meanwhile was watching zoolag sync, 'hmm 10min from nao' turned into hour+, and still 10blox behind. culprit seems to be a combo of 'everybody else is lagging' and 'flooded with mempool crud, and as result , not spending enuff time disconnecting unproductives and pushgetblocks()ing with novel peers'
asciilifeform: lessee if he digs up the link when he wakes up
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there's a mirror of the collection on mircea_popescu's www
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Which legendary piece of hanbot's? There were many.
asciilifeform: ( or simply failed to reach takeoff velocity )
asciilifeform: afaik phf is currently the all-star champ from that group
asciilifeform possibly was the only 1 who skipped tardstalk entirely
ben_vulpes: lol i stuck my head into bitcointalk.org for all of ten minutes before i found hanbot's legendary piece and jumped to #b-a
phf: it was literally the case of "milord, i made this basket from only finest of twigs, for your misses. ... bless you, milord" ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes was here before asciilifeform , i think, and in the era prior to proper logging, so i have nfi where he came from
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 13:28 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-27#1758896 << i have this vague memory that both phf and trinque were originally introduced in this sense by ben_vulpes ; whereas you were introduced similarily by hanbot. by comparison the pantsuit "evidently correct & only method" of herdemocracy has produced a whole lot of indiancandies and other self-choice delusionists.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-28#1759407 << phf pasted me some emacs erc (irc client) auth scriptage way back in the gribble days which got him a rating, and trinque and i'd been drinking together in meatland, and hanging in previously a mentioned pantsuit hellhole irc channel and ricocheted off #b-a a few times (at my insistence iirc) before it stuck ☝︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Typed on exhausted brain. Breaking down the language barrier, exhausting.
asciilifeform: Yo se yo puedo tener hambre >> yo se que yo pudo....
asciilifeform: comb the thing yerself BingoBoingo , this one was typed on ipad or wat.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it piqued by the >> is piqued ?
BingoBoingo: Pls to point out typos por favor

mircea_popescu: "tense" being nonsense in the first place. time + aspect, learn grammar properly if at all.
BingoBoingo: It is like when I get surprised with yet another species of past tense
BingoBoingo: The terror in people's eyes here when they talk of their trouble with "phrasal verbs"
asciilifeform: afaik german is the only living lang close-enuff to stand a chance of working like this with eng
mircea_popescu: there's the buffalo item recently in trilema...
mircea_popescu: amusingly, da ne tot in romanian means "give us everything"
mircea_popescu: you know how many alt-mps the empire has summoned up as if it does something ?
mircea_popescu: there is no difference between a patch unsigned and another patch unsigned, much like there's no difference between a nobody "gerald davis" and the exact same nobody "gerard david"
mircea_popescu: im not sure this is a problem. people use crapple os, an unsupported chain off the main v trunk as it is.
asciilifeform: recall the cousin-fucking thread.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 13:37 asciilifeform: it was always -ev, simply not on short enuff time scale.
mircea_popescu: nature comes with a key shaped like that hole, it is called "apostasy is its own punishment".
asciilifeform: history had better be immutable. lest we get stuck with having to undo c again and again forever.
asciilifeform: which has currently a birth defect hole in it, the classical blockchain is not properly speaking immutable.
mircea_popescu: it mearly meant this much, that it'd be a chain of patches.
asciilifeform: patches yes. i was speaking of the blockchain-vchain parallel.
mircea_popescu: but the discussion here is merely "how to enforce a correct chain of patches"
asciilifeform: driving uppity miners into bankruptcy, abatement of gavins, etc. is thus far mircea_popescu's dept.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform republic has strength to enforce dunnit ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 13:43 mircea_popescu: understand something about "declarations" in this vein : they themselves are an attack, if you can't universally enforce them. the us collapsed out of an attempt to declare that "they, not us, are the bad guys" without the actual strength to enforce this ; so did the soviet union, and so does every inept mother who tries to tell her kid what to do out of line.
asciilifeform: but meanwhile, in historic loose ends , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-24#1758001 << how to square this with >> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637609 ( summary : classical bitcoin permits ~modification of old blocks~ via the idjit 'tx replace' mechanism. even though -- as i understand -- it'd split the network if actually ever deployed. which it was not, not even in prb. but theoretically still permitted by the protocol. ) ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: i advised her to be careful what she dreams of in the future.
mircea_popescu savagely fucked sleeping girl ; after which, taking advantage of well known property of dreams to be recountable if dreamer suddenly awakened, asked what she had been dreaming of.
asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1913&cpage=1#comment-18457 << congrats to spyked , graduate of ffa ch1.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell phf plox to snarf : http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ffa/ffa_ch1_genesis.vpatch.spyked.sig
asciilifeform: that's sorta what made the 'natural philosophy' thing take off -- the realization that 'it's still there', whether or not newton bothers to publish
mircea_popescu: so in the same sense the french/swiss folk could almost-read unpublished newton on the basis of their own understanding of calculus...
mircea_popescu: the poets/philosophers/civil servants tripartite discussion of divinity most indicative.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a lot of it is guessable on the basis of, mostly stoic re-write.
mircea_popescu: god did not promise you get to keep all your napkins.
mircea_popescu: perfectly respectable anthropologist to this very day, in preference of most anyone ever born in an english speaking household, and certainly anyone born in the colonies.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for they clamoring for references -- the complete works of varro (such as they remain) are most instructive here.
BingoBoingo: Ah, nuclear chemistry. Where integers make all the difference.
mircea_popescu: (reason earth is fulla iron is that gold needs a discretely different star to produce ; yes there's a continuous mass consideration involoved, but the results -- discretized)
asciilifeform: even on surface. ( that very same yellow sand in ro, from earlier threads. )
mircea_popescu: (for the astrophysics noobs : material composition of any corner of space is determined by supernova/plain star proportion, which as best anyone can determine is the only true random variable in nature)
asciilifeform: possibly proverbian alphacentaurian would spit, 'see, THIS is what happens when no surface iridium! they did not have the good fortune to meet the proper meteorites...'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or BingoBoingo 's uranium. three heads, etcetera.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 14:27 mircea_popescu: there is no, strictly speaking, reason that iron MUST be provided on the surface of a planet just like the earth. it ~could~, very well, have simply gone through a place poor in planetoids and ended up entirely iron free on the surface. but it did not.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-28#1759568 << speaking of this: nobody has anyfi re what earthling history could have looked like if... iridium, say, had been similarly available ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (as to domus and personal divinity -- slavegirls regularily apologize for "not having managed more". because it's true, the fundamental with a view to only interaction with the superior is built out of the vague regret of one's own insufficiency. da fuck else is there.)
