asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu entomological sample, http://www.benzinga.com/news/15/08/5779058/bitcoin-flash-crashed-this-week << approximately a complete collection of ~everything but the actual truth~
asciilifeform: gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
asciilifeform: it only gives me a key fingerprint
asciilifeform pissed that he spent ten minutes sawing apart what he thought was a diddled signature purporting to be from mod6
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1245340 << to quote stalin, 'they won't see this gold like they won't see their ears without a mirror.' even if (especially if) it is actually turned up. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 08:23:38; punkman: "He began tapping on the wall between our stalls, asking why I wouldn’t respond, as if inter-stall conversation should be a totally normal, not disgusting means of communication."
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1245271 << this is not an 'urgent message' but a 'lowering ritual.' ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: phun phakt: RTL-SDR can be used to receive pager ('POCSAG') messages. naturally, any and all of them. if you only need to send one message, no need to actually buy a subscription...
punkman: or even buy from a different country and roam.
asciilifeform: wire your t3rr0r1st4 thermonuke to a RTL-SDR listening on a silent and unused frequency, which you then transmit the codez on. 'n0body could have predicted!1111!!!!111'
punkman: no such things here, you have to present ID. but not like it's hard to send a hobo to buy a few SIMs.
asciilifeform: ... or cannibalism. (where? e.g., 'amazon kindle' device includes a 3g modem, with 'eternal' subscription, which can theoretically be removed and uncrippled)
kakobrekla: will take a look
asciilifeform: even clicking a link, in a number of browsers, is ultra-grindy
kakobrekla noticed logs loading slow since a week or so ago, but i havent changed a thing to cause that
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 06:38:34; hanbot: <mod6> so i ended up chaging the file name to "vdiff.sh" + chmod 0755, and then changing the script so it reads: "vdiff.sh a b > genesis.vpatch" << picked the renaming bits out of here, worked for me, thanks. did not get the syntax error!
chetty: its a big world jurov, many time zones
jurov: interesting how my brunch, coffee and b-a time so often falls into time where channel is silent ☟︎
assbot: I don't give a shit who saw what and who did what or who did who.
assbot: Hell, ain't we about more fucked than a whore at closin' time, huh?
kakobrekla: o hey, we have a second derp block
punkman: (exercise for students: clearsign a piece of text. append as many trailing spaces/tabs/CRs as you like to the clearsigned text. check if it's still valid. repeat process with detached signature, see what happens) ☟︎
punkman: and this is a diff comparing asciilifeform's genesis.vpatch to mine: http://dpaste.com/370ZT8P
punkman: here's a diff comparing my genesis.vpatch, which I clearsigned then run through "gpg -d", to decoded_genesis.vpatch http://dpaste.com/1BC72A9
mircea_popescu: then it knows it needs to stop after 593 characters rather than look for dashes like a drunk mole.
punkman: "He began tapping on the wall between our stalls, asking why I wouldn’t respond, as if inter-stall conversation should be a totally normal, not disgusting means of communication." ☟︎
punkman: "The most horrifying moment of my employment at Amazon was the time I was using the toilet and a coworker began talking from the stall next to me. He asked me why I had not responded to his very pressing email. I closed my eyes and pretended this wasn’t happening. What email could be so important that it could not wait five minutes for me to use the bathroom?"
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2015/01/the-hard-fork-missile-crisis/#comment-43598 << LOL. If you had a Bitcoin for every time someone eventually told you "You were right"...wait...
mircea_popescu: actually, let's just do a summary an' leave it at that. ex-wife of ex-respectable bitcointards community member pm's MPOE-PR on forum about how she's been exactly right about X, he stole buncha cash from her, "you got it spot on except for X minor detail" sorta thing.
thestringpuller: http://shitco.in/2015/08/19/the-bitcoin-xt-trojan/ << whoa this is a great story
hanbot: <mod6> so i ended up chaging the file name to "vdiff.sh" + chmod 0755, and then changing the script so it reads: "vdiff.sh a b > genesis.vpatch" << picked the renaming bits out of here, worked for me, thanks. did not get the syntax error! ☟︎
punkman: "I wonder what happens when there's a giant flaming mushroom cloud in your neighborhood and no one publishes a word" https://medium.com/@cmphku/chinese-media-and-the-tianjin-disaster-3bd98a6fac44
mod6: ... then changing the script so it reads: "vdiff.sh a b > genesis.vpatch" << bah. should read: "./vdiff.sh a b > genesis.vpatch"
mod6: <+mod6> alright, so I created this script: http://dpaste.com/04DJKKA.txt << take a look here for reference
mod6: so i ended up chaging the file name to "vdiff.sh" + chmod 0755, and then changing the script so it reads: "vdiff.sh a b > genesis.vpatch"
mod6: hanbot: the basic issue is that this line in asciilifeform's script: vdiff a b > genesis.vpatch
punkman: mircea_popescu: curl http://w.b-a.link/otp/90f89eec52021b96 | gpg << I wonder if this can blow up in a spectacular way
hanbot: yeah, but in a different dir, heh. moving, rerunning.
mircea_popescu: curl http://w.b-a.link/otp/90f89eec52021b96 | gpg
Birdman: I try to open it, but it says it cant find a program to open with
asciilifeform: did mircea_popescu (or anyone else) run a full sync with -verifyall ?
asciilifeform: lulzy, this is how herr handle described nsa 'suite a' ciphers
mircea_popescu: numerously but not significantly. atm i actually regard it more like a legacy disused tool, sort of a reference put aside anyway.
asciilifeform: (for those mythical ben_vulpess who read only ml but not #b-a)
asciilifeform: consider a post to the ml, even
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well you recall how we had a number of locks and dubious forks etc since june ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1245138 << i dare say that this or similar scenario is unlikely. the 'rent-a-slave' outfits are largely helpless when asked for anything other than wwwtronic proggy ☝︎
asciilifeform: the question of which monkey in the forest produced a particular stool sample, is perhaps interesting to ~someone~
mircea_popescu: you ever been in a bureaucracy ?
mircea_popescu: you're prolly not old enough for it, but if yo uare THAT patient, asciilifeform dig up the old solidcoin stuff. it was a goldmine.
mircea_popescu: back when hearn wasn't even a shitstain on his owner's pants yet.
mircea_popescu: as foretold by alf a year or so ago,
asciilifeform: 'Calculate the priority of the new IP to see if we should drop it immediately (normal) or kick one of the other peers out to make room for it.' -- are you a plebe, or a loyal servant of the crown
asciilifeform: 'CIPGroupData... A group of logically related IP addresses. Useful for banning or deprioritising sources of abusive traffic/DoS attacks.' << that would be, presumably, us.
asciilifeform: translated for humans, means 'if you wanna talk, prove you're a leaf node running hearnia. and don't pretend to be infrastructural node, we know who they are already and i don't recall selling you a license'
asciilifeform: 'Future... ...Design a protocol to let user wallets gain priority by proving ownership of coin age, as they tend to have short lived connections and roam around different IPs, but we still want to serve them ahead of long term idling connections.' << lulzy. hearn would have all nodes run hotwallet to 'prove coin age'
asciilifeform: always a nice, satisfying -click-zap-
assbot: Logged on 04-06-2014 00:08:26; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
mircea_popescu: buncha derps couldn't find their way out of a nonexistent paper bag, yet wish to have a "profession" and get "salaries". why "? for what ?
assbot: The Gentlemen Prefer CoEds Club on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1JxR3lb )
mircea_popescu: "Established Men, a website dedicated to pairing up beautiful young women with successful older men." << - >> http://trilema.com/2013/the-gentlemen-prefer-coeds-club/
mircea_popescu: the only reason there isn't a cock eating rock somewhere is pure chance. otherwise, if it offered a hole, it'd eat well enough.
mircea_popescu: the thing's basically a usgism, in spirit if not in form.
asciilifeform: hanbot: you will, yes. but it is not a build, presently. only a set of patches re-created with vdiff and signed - currently by myself only.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and a more-or-less accurate (for a non-#b-a denizen) outline of events re: same.
asciilifeform: but all else is a good exposition.
asciilifeform: wasn't 'goat' a sc4mz0r of some description ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> who the fuck even signs up for a 'dating site' ? how does this differ from the kind of folks who answer nigerian '419' spam ? << Some locales it is fishing with dynamite
asciilifeform: who the fuck even signs up for a 'dating site' ? how does this differ from the kind of folks who answer nigerian '419' spam ?
assbot: 0 results for 'from:TheRealJohnGalt' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=from%3ATheRealJohnGalt
BingoBoingo: Problem seems to be they used plan9 userland as a path to saving linux when the linux part could have been flushed
asciilifeform: screw this 'i ran an os in userland on other os because i needed a thesis 111!!111' shit.
BingoBoingo: http://morpheus.2f30.org/ << chunks of plan9 running on a linux kernel
asciilifeform: 'plan9' is more of a linux than ubuntu.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1244934 << neato, a small flat costs like a car in usa ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1244925 << if you have a copy of gpg, verify with that ☝︎
assbot: Futurology alert: NASA has been granted $200,000 a year for a project that recycles human poop into man-made food. ... ( http://bit.ly/1Nwbftf )
mod6: alright, so I created this script: http://dpaste.com/04DJKKA.txt to produce a vpatch as discussed in http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-August/000148.html : Here is the diff of the vdiff my script produced v. the one included with asciilifeform's email: http://dpaste.com/1ACSMBC.txt
mircea_popescu: "There's absolutely no difference between Keiser's scamcoin and Gavin's scam coin as far as the network is concerned : while one's a scammer that I humiliatingly defeated in the past whereas the other a scammer that I humiliatingly defeat in the future, this makes no difference for Bitcoin."
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Give it a go
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: unless you're already writing up today's am break, i think i'll take a crack at it for qntra
mircea_popescu: anyway, notice the word wizardry. "if there is full credit card data in a dump, it’s not from us". whereas the dump clearly and pointedly states "some credit card data". ☟︎
pete_dushenski: "Raja Bhatia, Ashley Madison's founding CTO who today consults for the website's team, is not convinced this leak is real. He told investigative journo Brian Krebs this evening that the site does not store credit card numbers. "If there is full credit card data in a dump, it’s not from us, because we don’t even have that," Bhatia added." << vs. internet 3.0
pete_dushenski: almost 6 months to the day later. was there a yeshiva in there ?
asciilifeform: incidentally, if you make a mistake in your 'genesis', other vpatches also will fail.
BingoBoingo just impressed there exists a versioning system nao
asciilifeform: if you read the 'orchestra' post and followed instructions, you have a set that will verify against 'breath of life.'
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6, ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu, et al: << thanks ascii, will take a look.
asciilifeform: but there is not always a place.
asciilifeform: (offtopic: perhaps the single most asinine aspect of gpg signature as-we-have-it is the lack of a clearly delineated space to write ~why~ you are signing something.)
assbot: Loon | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1NmbTuq )
pete_dushenski: now that i slept through a fringe show this afternoon, i'm awake.
mircea_popescu: wilbns>Sovereign credit ratings from Moody’s, Fitch and S&P will soon become extinct << unavoidably. they have been largely ignored ever since the ridiculous failures they displayed a decade or so ago.
mircea_popescu: now, a graphite baton can survive some cleavage. but a glass baton will shatter.
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell trinque Missouri is probably a better Texas than Texas
mircea_popescu: this is a political disaster for the us, nothing like the superficial humiliations it has received politically from the likes of putin and practically from the likes of isis
mircea_popescu: trinque>china for example builds its *first* aircraft carrier, and people talk about the chinese being a military threat <<< you don't understand how this works. the aircraft carrier is irrelevant. china bet on the winning strat (missile defense) and bet a lot more than the us can afford, and as a result now has unchallangeable area denial ability throughout the shores. this means it can pursue its own, private local ☟︎
pete_dushenski: still a joke but w/e
assbot: No Woman's Land on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1NmayDT )
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field>the excuse of 'if we hadn't raped this chick, somebody else would have' is a nonstarter << orly ? http://trilema.com/2013/no-womans-land/#selection-449.68-449.225
