kalki: funkenstein, the wiki says for WOT that I should generate a gpg if I dont already have one... so do folks typically use just one key? or is it smart to have a seperate one for WOT distinct from communication etc?
funkenstein_: i don't mac, but methinks you can add a couple special chars without losing entropy
kalki: also, I am noticing that when I log in to #bitcoin-assets, just before it transports me to the room, it says at the bottom of the screen that this nickname is already taken and that I should verify ownership or something... I assume this means that I need to find a new nickname and that it is not talking about me just because I have been using it a couple months here..
kalki: thanks... ok so in attempting to set up my first gpg account, I am following the guide from contravex... so I am using the 5 dice coupled with the englich passphrase word list. So, I did 10 tosses, got the words, but then after entering, the gpg client tells me it is a weak pw as it contains no special characters. I read somewhere on Trilema not to change ANYTHING from what I get from the dice toss... so just seeking some soun ☟︎
kakobrekla: i paid more bitcoins than you euros for mine tho.
jurov: lucky bastards. i was caught, was not fined but had to prop up my old daewoo by about 300 euro (using dubious parts) to keep it legal
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163461 <<< this orlov guy.. i've enjoyed reading some of his stuff but i can't figure out what sort of man buys a boat but does not have funds tucked away for upkeep/maintenance or new engine ☝︎
jurov: and i wondered off the eulora server. event will take place after chetty fixes it.
mod6: i paid more for this pos then the damn car.
mod6: this pos box, i can hear the disk spining. "GRRRR GRRRR GRR GGRRRRRRR"
mod6: my old man had one of the 1983 mercedes 380SLs.. but yeah i don't think it weighed nearly as much as those bigger frame ones like yours (MP) or Pete D's.
danielpbarron: t-shirts have holes in them, iphone won't charge unless i rubber band the cable into the right position, etc..
mod6: i looked idiotic driving it around, im sure.
mod6: i once had an 1983 pontiac perrisan <sp> station wagon. it had 300`000 miles on it. got it for $750. it always made me laugh because when i shut it off, it would keep knocking for like ~20 seconds. then backfire super loud.
mod6: haha, man old worn leather does not hold up good. i know what you mean.
trinque: I'll drive my current vw til it catches fire
mod6: i just can't figure it out why someone would want to pay $300/mo for 6-7 years on a car loan for something "new" or "reasonable"
trinque: I still drove it at that point
trinque: I once sold a car for $125, was probably in way worse shape than yours
mod6: i actually got a decent deal on it for $100, it would probably be $1000 if i bought it from a used car lot or something. bought it from a friend.
mod6: i guess i did throw in a quart once. but that doesn't count. sob is probably dying to have the filter & oil changed.
mod6: i don't drive very much, and if i do, it's not very far.
mod6: i haven't changed the oil on this pos since i bought it. but then again, i've only put on like 2800 miles.
trinque: I still change my oil in the apt parking lot, but wouldn't bother with much more than that
mod6: my old man would be horrified that i don't fix the shit on my car. he was a "car guy". used to wrench on stuff, build his own racecars, was an expert mechanic.
mod6: i used to wrench on stuff a lot myself, but now (last ~15 years) have no time. too much comp stuff to work on.
mod6: speaking of which... i think i've got one wheelbearing that's about to sieze
mod6: *nod* i went so long without a car, it's hard for me to spend any money on that stuff at all. if i could still get away with not having one, i would.
mod6: but the idea here is that i put no $ into it, and when the wheels fall off, i'll pitch the keys on the seat and go find another.
mod6: i have a $100 car that the drivers side window doesn't roll down, and the passenger side doesn't roll up. no rear view mirror (it fell off) and the side mirror is taped on with Ninja Turtle ductape.
mod6: <+danielpbarron> it's surprising how many sentences I can type without access to the letter 'b' but ultimately I end up needing it quite a bit (barron, bitcoin, bible) << reminds me of my broken 'O' key on my asus laptop these guys saw at c3. i still havent fixed it. haha.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: generally, i won't even keep a laptop in the house unless i have several 'organ donors' for it
danielpbarron: i haven't looked
danielpbarron: it's surprising how many sentences I can type without access to the letter 'b' but ultimately I end up needing it quite a bit (barron, bitcoin, bible)
danielpbarron: I now have to use a full size keyboard plugged into my laptop; thing might as well be a desktop now especially since wifi hasn't worked ever since I switched from ubuntu to gentoo
asciilifeform: (iirc it was 'if i had read them, why would i park them in my shelf')
asciilifeform: everything 'archaeological' i have could probably fit in a small car boot.
asciilifeform: sometimes, literally (i'm getting a crate of east german z80 in the post a month or so from now)
mircea_popescu: i suppose a version of the above "make it now" is what drives your hoarding behaviour
mircea_popescu: i do expect the poor will stop having sewage.
mircea_popescu: anyway, ftr : i don't expect the electric grid will cease to exist.
asciilifeform: the 'unlikely in the future' thing is why i view the present situation as a dire one. at present, 'we' don't have access to any of these things.
asciilifeform: hence why i use this item as example
mircea_popescu: so if i want a 3d printed item, which university i call ?
mircea_popescu: so no, i don't see any sort of future for that model, which is EXACTLY why i pointed out to tim whatshisname that either he gets with the program or he goes live in the sewer.
mircea_popescu: i doubt 14yo boys are sexually mature enough really.
assbot: Logged on 23-06-2014 00:11:01; mircea_popescu: After seven years of the new regime, I had the opportunity to compare the class of 1999 with the class of 1992. In 1992 I set an course in Artificial Intelligence requiring students to solve six exercises, including building a Prolog interpreter. In 1999, six exercises had shrunk to one; which was a 12 line Prolog program for which eight weeks were allotted for students to write it. A special class
asciilifeform: sorta reminds me of how i, as a boy, saw a brass band, and asked my father why they don't simply connect a compressor to the tuba and avoid the strain. and answered 'from this, just one step to dispensing with the tubist entirely'. and hence just the same here, from this just one small step to asking 'why even do this university thing'
mircea_popescu: specifically that it is not merely cheating to be given in advance the questions which will constitute the exam (which, to my undying amazement, i found out is by now actually standard practice in the us), but even to be given any sort of selected reading material that contains a larger density of answers than the average for the entire world text.
mircea_popescu: to be perfectly fair, in the same session i also explained my view on cheating on university examinations,
Naphex: btw, i'm hiring angular/javascript coders for the frontend. if anyone interested shoot me a /m \
fluffypony: I have a love/hate relationship with Angular
mircea_popescu: fluffypony do not hate me because i am lithe!
menahem: it's well on its way, from what i gather.
mircea_popescu: in any case, how did that quote go, "i bequeath
mircea_popescu: menahem what you don't likely know is that i lived a decade and change of my life previously also with people tastiung my food etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: believe or not, i once read a (ru) ph.d. dissertation on this subject.
mircea_popescu: and i intend to withdraw long before advanced age makes the crown too heavy to carry. i have a fucking life to live outside of public service.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only suspected from the geometry. it's more or less exactly like i imagined it would look like.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even 40.
menahem: ya, I have. mostly I guess in the event of physical illness.. an heir of sorts ?
assbot: Logged on 26-10-2014 05:49:56; mircea_popescu: i suppose that's the ultimate girl toilet, what is all this "lift the seat, lower the seat" bs.
asciilifeform: http://i.imgur.com/TLvwKz1.png << mysterious object i saw in a movie. wonder if mircea_popescu can identify.
mircea_popescu: i do.
mircea_popescu: i'd like a brother like that.
mircea_popescu: i didn't say it was!
mircea_popescu: you know templeos is only a step in that direction, i'd like to see unix skinned by valley girls, upper east side hipsters, mexicans, etc.
asciilifeform: plus i'd have to persist the thing -somehow-
mircea_popescu: i don't think the bag makers can be blamed for this one
asciilifeform: this would work if i didn't have separate unix processes using it simultaneously.
asciilifeform: though i'm seeing conflicting info re: optimal size for these
kakobrekla: > folks keep trying to offer me mining gigs in exotic places < lol, yeah i also can get a job as a diaper changer in a local nursery

Vexual: i dont remeber a shanxigirl in nanjing
Vexual: shit, ive heard the name, i never knew they fancied themselves as bankers
Vexual: i thought u were all cga
Vexual: i heard about screenshots, but now that the logs are a 4 drink minimum, i missed em
Vexual: yes yes, a different affair from 12 months ago where i attempted to build
Vexual: hey if i can build it i will come
punkman: I tried it
asciilifeform: (i have both)
asciilifeform: i had it as a parallel port widget for a while.
decimation: the 'model f' I linked appears to have 'meta' key
decimation: heh. I wonder if that's a serial output
decimation: at any rate I like that keyboard for sale, lots of reassignable keys
decimation: heh I suspected no
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't want a usb controller...
asciilifeform: and (this is not stated, but i hypothesize) rf-quiet
decimation: no, I think mircea meant the people who are willing to trade hard assets to the chinese in exchange for paper and promises
decimation: heh oh yeah I forgot they took yer guns too
mod6: i had a problem with my disk paritions
cazalla: i mean, kid my age who lived on my street regularly ate his cat's cat food
cazalla: so i imagine those people with mortgages will soon eat chum (dog food) if they are not already
cazalla: fwiw, missus and i have no rent or mortgage and it is still hard
cazalla: i'd like to think it will end soon as i don't see how people can be squeezed any further at this point but asciilifeform reminded me that there is still much fat left to be trimmed
decimation: yeah I agree with mircea, it sounds to me that the chinese have bid australia to the moon
decimation: cazalla: yeah I guess my point is that they could start a new city there
decimation: cazalla: I guess the most rational response would be to coordinate groups of people to move away from the dense cities and start new living areas
cazalla: i don't even know why they do it tbh
decimation: cazalla: I thought only the us built shit homes
