trinque: notably the bitching about how someone else wants to do it comes after I've put work into bringing mine back online
trinque: I expect that someone who says "I will run an RSS bot" does it
trinque: I don't want to spend another morning farting around with something as inconsequential as an RSS plugin
trinque: but lo, I am trinque, eater of bots
trinque: I've had a working module for months at least, but was letting somebody else take a job
kakobrekla: i even added rss to assbot for bens jeniks - which got shut down a day after.
mircea_popescu: i even lost count, we're on 7 now ?
trinque: parsimony strikes again; I'll endeavor to avoid busses
kakobrekla: well, i dont mind who runs rss bot - but - usually we just let the chanserv do the bot voicing to make it simpler
lobbes: well, I can't really say 'no.' If you've got a working solution, there's no need to wait for my derpage
trinque: mind if I just keep doing it?
trinque: alright, well, this is the 3rd time I've had to get feeds going on mine
lobbes: I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious
lobbes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=24-08-2015#1249978 << On the contrary. I was able to get the updated fork installed on my server Saturday, which contains the re-written RSS plugin. ☝︎
asciilifeform: from the linked photo earlier, i am still uncertain they they have women..
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo why would i get it in my own name ?
mircea_popescu: maybe i discover they drop payloads at the backbone level
mircea_popescu: o right. how am i going to get encrypted connections to my various servers. i dunno, BingoBoingo !
asciilifeform: but i, for one, look forward to reading mircea_popescu's description of life in middle kingdom!!
mircea_popescu: but that aside, i have very little hope left to be much surprised by people.
mircea_popescu: adding to the amusement, the part that he wasn't aware that to the average romanian, the arab,gypsy difference seems slight. but i suspect you know in english russian, chinese, same deal.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my point is that china is different from ro, ar, usa, in several interesting ways which mircea_popescu appears to heavily discount the importance of. perhaps he has own reasons for this, but i couldn't possible know them..
trinque: and I recall conversation around phuctor's rss. should I add it?
assbot: I killed one, I'm publishing another, who the hell knows what's going on anymore. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1I9HirT )
deedbot-: [Trilema] I killed one, I'm publishing another, who the hell knows what's going on anymore. - http://trilema.com/2015/i-killed-one-im-publishing-another-who-the-hell-knows-whats-going-on-anymore/
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno what problem you see in there ?
asciilifeform: perhaps completes the picture if i reveal that the man had wife, 2 y.o. son, back home. and they lived very well off his chickenfeed salary.
asciilifeform: y: 'i washed glass for dr. c and did his excel sheets'
asciilifeform: me: 'y., why do you read the 'times' all day?' y: 'i'm bored.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu wanted case study of folks i saw with own eyes ?
mircea_popescu: i would, sure.
asciilifeform: or i suppose i could talk about my years of working in labs with ~50% or so cn folks, getting to know'em, but i don't imagine mircea_popescu will find this interesting
mircea_popescu: and if i couldn't do business with a defined class, no matter which class, i'd have a very serious PERSONAL problem in my own estimation, and i'd go resolve it forthwith.
mircea_popescu: yes, that's not a concern. nevertheless, whether i buy or i don't buy is still a decision.
mircea_popescu: the rent in romania article i linked coupla weeks ago was discussing "affordability" in terms of, "to people makinmg 400 euro per month as an avg salary".
trinque: I know for a fact they ship *from*
mircea_popescu: i have a dhl-in-the-desert pic from egypt
mircea_popescu: i needed regular supply flights in my own fucking country, just for having moved to the outskirts of my home province.,
asciilifeform: but i reasoned that if mircea_popescu were an aficionado of mega-emptyspace, he'd be in patagonia now
asciilifeform: trinque: neither i nor the sources can speak for 'all' of anything. but cn is a rice kingdom, yes.
asciilifeform: at any rate, who am i to say that mircea_popescu would not fit in cn. perhaps he has always wanted to eat roast dog, pay 90% of his revenue as bakshish to local party 'райком', and endure the stench of the most packed mass of beoble known...
asciilifeform: i bet nubbins`'s cook roomie isn't any more present in pyongyang than in pekin
mircea_popescu: who's the lame thin fuck of china again ? or i lost an antecedent, wut
asciilifeform: idk, but i imagine it isn't any less entertaining than crashing a lame thin fuck's party ?
mircea_popescu: why would i want to crash some lame fat fuck's party ?
trinque: I'm highly skeptical that a country building all the everything anyone uses on earth is anything like Pyongyang.
asciilifeform: unless i am catastrophically misinformed.
asciilifeform: i mean, if i had to give up something like eating Proper Food, i'd rather live on tree bark in siberia. nice, quiet, prolly could get a photovoltaic set and satellite horn running there.
trinque: I'm going to let it run in private for just a bit, after which when I'm satisfied with his behavior, will add feeds here.
asciilifeform: 'cause i have a car instead of a dirigible, and own two hands instead of servants ?
asciilifeform: i mean, forfuckssake
mircea_popescu: "hey i saw your xbox on ebay, is it ment condition ?"
asciilifeform: but i do not know the word.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i presumed they were chip-able in a certain manner.
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's much a process like how we'll end up paying 5k for real cpu
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i ran a month or so of a similar thing mostly out of curiosity if this happens. notrly.
BingoBoingo: I see no other outcome. This isn't even artmarket altcoins which... Don't expire when the pig goes to slaughter.
asciilifeform: 'The third part was triggering bans on proxies VPNs and tor exit nodes, making as many file requests as possible so that users will not be able to use them to safely access websites. It involved using or circumventing the .htaccess file I am not sure which. "The goal is to divert bandwidth strangle traffic and get them to block their own users."'
asciilifeform: but i can see what mircea_popescu meant here.
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2014 19:46:44; asciilifeform: 'C: What I want to suggest to you is that it was recklessness, utter recklessness, in view of the conditions
mircea_popescu: i do.
mircea_popescu: trinque i am not an expert in airflight security, or a pilot or anything. nevertheless, it's my opinion that this is a fine example of what thinking in a box is and what it gets you.
mircea_popescu: kinda why i've not moved yet. i have nfi.
asciilifeform: i can't wait till mircea_popescu discovers the cn mega-reddits
mircea_popescu: i lived a much better life of the spirit when i lived it among nude whores on sets, and plastic women making a point of being stupid
asciilifeform: i don't have one of those here...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would much rather fuck a plastic cyborg created out of the desire of the short yellow people to fit in with white civilisation than an actual scion of the latter.
mircea_popescu: mike_c i ain't sayin' anything.
mircea_popescu: trinque i guess so yeah.
mike_c: question I don't expect an answer to: how does mpex handle the gpg processing?
gribble: williamdunne was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 6 days, 21 hours, 26 minutes, and 10 seconds ago: <williamdunne> mircea_popescu: Relieve pressure by ranting on a blog? Sounds like it could work. I'll have another look at the incubators
trinque: I am happy to though.
trinque: I have a feeds module at the ready.
mircea_popescu: haha. i can be fucking zulu.
assbot: Logged on 24-08-2015 15:42:43; mike_c: so what, I'm stuck with bash scripts? how to use the fking thing?
trinque: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-08-2015#1250167 << this is precisely the direction I'm going to go with deedbot, due to pain with python-gnupg; I've yet to try the one punkman suggested, so perhaps that one's better. I grow to believe this is the only way to do anything right on a *nix. ☝︎
mats: i'll be surprised if mp sticks around shenzhen as long as he does buenos aires
kakobrekla: i bet alf is gonna be disappointed. no coffee, no icecream, no steak.
mircea_popescu: either that or skipping a year. i'm not doing another one in b-a. you've seen it all. literally.
mats: i can't even afford to go myself :P
mircea_popescu: honestly i've been tempted by shenzen for a while now.
BingoBoingo: So, going out to pick up some chicken hearts to fry up for breakfast I saw the local much beloved microwave tower covered in a tent of some sort
assbot: Logged on 24-08-2015 04:44:57; asciilifeform: in fact, i saw these, as a boy, and they permanently defined what 'advertising' means in my head.
mike_c: because I don't trust it.
wywialm: in that tune? http://i.imgur.com/pujXiVy.jpg
mike_c: i was assuming he meant not using AES to encode the message
mircea_popescu: shit... dude i miss the drunken evening over a musama covered table with drunk people.
mike_c: but I hear bandwidth is doubling every year for the next 10 years :)
mircea_popescu: phf no, you're right, i dunno what i was thinking.
wywialm: mircea_popescu, is there something i miss? re bouncy castle: we'll most likely have to write a library to make it more usable
mike_c: i mean, unless you're supporting HFT, is it really a problem for the client app?
wywialm: i.e. this python-gnupg - calling gpg is just too slow
mike_c: thanks. i was looking for good alternatives.
punkman: I wonder how many klock are in gpg, anyone counted it?
mike_c: oh? ok.. I will check it out. thanks.
davout: mike_c: i got gpgme to work fine fwiw
mike_c: so what, I'm stuck with bash scripts? how to use the fking thing? ☟︎
mike_c: gpgme i don't know about
punkman: python-gpgme doesn't call out to shell but I haven't used it
mircea_popescu: mike_c from what i've seen, the python-anything turns out that way
