mod6: re: polarbeard is right, guy simply isn'
t in the wot (afaik), so partly, I'm trying to solution on my own without polluting my path too much.
phf: trinque: there wasn'
t anything wrong with polarbeard's patches in general, he just happened to be doing his work when there was a lot of regrinds going on in the tree and after third time he was asked to regrind he decided he had enough and quit
☟︎ mircea_popescu: just don'
t expect any backing to it for recursive elegance. it dun have what with.
mircea_popescu: it does nothing else. it doesn'
t impress chicks, it doesnm'
t win speed contests, it's not a car.
mircea_popescu: that's the only available juice to squeeze there, communicate to the engine that your db is slow, the tmp doesn'
t move. and you do this by not making it a tmp.
mircea_popescu: no, that was his previous suggestion. what i mean by ACTUAL is that you don'
t use tmp
mircea_popescu: (as "that length of knife blade that hurts but doesn'
t seriously injure, obtained by holding the instrument a certain way so the thumb covers the blade". PRISON SLANG!)
a111: Logged on 2018-04-24 19:00 phf: it is otherwise a typical gaming protocol, a single header that wraps a range of message types. i don'
t quite remember but i think existing eulora protocol works somewhat like that, just a smaller number of message types.
phf: there's also parts in the spec that describe the format, and you can infer the behavior from the format, but there isn'
t explicit description of behavior. for example movement type a.5.23-a.5.28 is presumably for moving things and self around, but without further details it's hard to say how it's supposed to work. so i can'
t really say much about the internal consistency of the protocol, i.e. are the message types sufficient to perform some set of in g

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-24#1805075 << i did a first pass on the spec over the weekend, but haven'
t had time to formulate my thoughts. it looks like enough to do a prototype short of three things: handshake process is still work in progress, i noticed that it's missing type of data descriptor values for 4.3.2 (there's a list of data types, but not the values that indicate which type it is), and there's no format description for the encapsulated f
☝︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, maybe not the best word for it. but the idea is that the wotless individual finds himself very vulnerable strategically : the enemy doesn'
t need to make sense, just needs to make LONG enough strings of nonsense.
BingoBoingo: Nah, KFC is in Buenos Aires. Here they don'
t have pollo frito
mircea_popescu: obviously won'
t apply to your collection of priceless ming vases and so on.
mod6: no shit huh? they won'
t even hold his spot at the hostel, even if he's paying in advance?
BingoBoingo: mod6: In US-istani terms it isn'
t too expensive, but on current shoestring budget upfront costs of a flat are prohibitive
mod6: danielpbarron: got it! Thanks for the
t-shirt too. Fits good.
ben_vulpes: i suppose they wouldn'
t, that being controlled by umask
diana_coman: since it seems the fix to the fix is another wait, I'll set for now 755 on the files as otherwise ckang still won'
t be able to get the client and try the game
diana_coman: I can'
t yet see it from here - will give it some time and check again later
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I've transfered the stuff to the folder from ben_vulpes said apache serves; but more than that I can'
t check/see
diana_coman: ben_vulpes, I don'
t need the wp stuff; what do I need to do to nuke it ?
mircea_popescu: trinque, that does at least half the job -- will get some actual entropy in there, even if it doesn'
t prevent the dilution with cvasi-random crap
mircea_popescu: that's all that's contemplated here, all we really want from the rest of the shitpile is a very clear knob, which, when turned, makes everything stop working that doesn'
t work like we expect it to work.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t believe in this philosophy of "universal support". "break everything until it fully conforms to tmsr expectation" is entirely sufficient.
mircea_popescu: but the idea isn'
t for ~our~ kernels. the idea is to have an infection vector, that permafucks a linus-tso kernel into no longer working like a piece orf shit.
mircea_popescu: well if the kernel can'
t be patched then a patch won'
t help.
mircea_popescu: doesn'
t have to. /dev/random is blocking. all it needs to do is block if it has no fg.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-13 16:11 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc we had a thread even here where somebody whined that FG doesn'
t work as a 'totem' where you 'plug in and forget and it just becomes your /dev/random' and that it has to be actively ~used~
mircea_popescu: i can'
t call it ; but would be no worse strategy than what's the ru guy's name
mircea_popescu: when lawyer wants to test for truth, he offers guy obvious easy explanation, sees if guy takes it. if he does... he's looking for an out, isn'
t he!
mircea_popescu: blind or no blind, french peasant isn'
t taking one to the head.
trinque: eh I don'
t buy the political terms for all this; that appears to be when his brain *is* working, instead of farting around in neurotic loops
trinque: I won'
t spend too much time on this, but it's interesting that he transitions from third person self-reference to first person when he gets angry.
mircea_popescu: maybe i owe some thanks to these folk i don'
t even realise...
mircea_popescu: they don'
t look, they work. wtf can you do with something that works!
a111: Logged on 2018-04-20 17:44 mircea_popescu: finally coming out of the massive bender at t2, the dude WOULD STILL LIKE TO EAT. how would you eat if you were him ? would you give up, do something else with your time ? he doesn'
t give up. he's fucking dedicated.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, but i can imagine, you know, lenghty string of ustards trying to help, where their help was of the form "we'll expend x resources if you're willing to jump through y hoops" and he refusing and them going umm... why doesn'
t the form thing work!!1
mircea_popescu: you can'
t go around pretending like he's ok. he's not ok, nor ever was, nor can ever be, but this is not so much a problem to whosoever is willing to apply formal tests only.
mircea_popescu: and whatelse, the portland women are proper-er than the sf women and don'
t want the sausage ?
mircea_popescu: yeah but it doesn'
t strike me at all like soviet groupshenanigans.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 21:36 mircea_popescu: if they didn'
t do that, they'd do "euro 5"
mircea_popescu: the point of trusted nodes isn'
t "don'
t link to other nodes or bad things weill happen". the point is "always have these in your connection to stay sane", because a major attack vector towards bitcoin is separation, ie get two sets of nodes adrift in different realities.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 16:00 avgjoe: my question is: if i add nodes that aren'
t on the trusted nodes list, what are the risks?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 18:30 trinque: this is what happens when you don'
t have phf's three generations of bidet before piano.
mircea_popescu: fabulous, right, because we weren'
t supposed to notice madmax is gay interest for the sort who "go viking".
mircea_popescu: trinque, : "I guess the guy thought Mad Max wasn'
t fabulous enough." << this. this is where your divine nature shines through. it's fucking perfect, i've been gasping for air the past minute.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: And Segwit can'
t in the form the Power Rangers settled on arbitrarily slice shit off of transactions or blocks. Segwit is an opt-in evil. It can only tickle your butthole if you let it in.
avgjoe: so the trusted nodes list is more useful on the initial startup when there are a lot of blocks to download and it'd be easier to just have nodes that doesn'
t send unnecessary info (like segwit payload)?
avgjoe: ok i understand, so i shouldn'
t worry if for instance i connect to a segwit node, my node will try to chop off the irrelevant parts of what it receive, correct?
avgjoe: but aren'
t new blocks fetched from evil implementations?
BingoBoingo: <avgjoe> my question is: if i add nodes that aren'
t on the trusted nodes list, what are the risks? << Unknown, generally desirable to get more connections. The idea of the list is to provide a minimum number of non-evil nodes to help you stay in civilized communion.

☟︎ avgjoe: so far is working properly on debian 9 just modifying the repo (because stretch repo hasn'
t gcc 4.x)
lobbesbot: avgjoe: Sent 1 day, 21 hours, and 32 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> I don'
t talk to strangers in private
mircea_popescu: not disputing the fu factor of "we don'
t care about your blather, republic uses your sims and phones as cumrags". but meh, we dun have the hands on deck for such excursions into wank qua cool.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, im sure there's plenty $800 "investments" from 1972 that still haven'
t fully amortised.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get it. so you wrote a linux thingee which materializes some hardware into any arbitrary box ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, yes, pizarro clawed itself out of the first pit, "we don'
t have what to sell".
a111: Logged on 2018-04-20 21:33 trinque: chittering high ex-gf cunt; who hasn'

mircea_popescu: which aren'

☟︎ phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-20#1803946 << that's a good idea, there are different use cases though. i speak much less, so i use the yellow islands to know where i participated in the conversation, this way i know i don'
t have to reread that whole cluster. it highlights both from:phf and "phf", so i can also say where i was mentioned since the last time i spoke
☝︎ mircea_popescu: but let's just point out that ANY post factum "testimonials" by gf/bf/whatever, whether they be "i thought about it some more and i decided it was rape" or "i will now call the guy a badman retroactively" and so on aren\'
t worthj the pixels they're printed on.
mircea_popescu: at issue isn'
t whether you can produce a graphical representation of the claim.
mircea_popescu: and don'
t tell me "this billionaire i talk to actually has pics of it", because that's really not how examples work.
mircea_popescu: ckang, doesn'
t sound all that credible, does it ? who'd want to.
ckang: yea theres so much about him that doesn'
t coincide with his 'beliefs'
mircea_popescu: i credit it with a not-negligible chunk of efficiency-above-average. after all, i know what i fucking said. and if i don'
t, well, that's a major signal on its own.
