pete_dushenski: after finding
a discrepancy between the downloaded file (firefox 29) and the listed checksum two months ago, they responded by removing the checksums on all files !
☟︎ trinque: I never knew dolphins could do such
a lecherous face
trinque: bahahah, that's about as good as the monkey fucking
a frog
punkman: is the dolphin using
a headless fish as
a fucktoy?
assbot: Logged on 06-08-2015 19:48:15; shinohai: Possibly, "OMG this sucks so bad imma become
a carpet muncher" <<< plausible?
mircea_popescu: i'm sure there's also
a third way, like the communism that actually works (tm)
mircea_popescu: but yes, tis true. hardly any teen is sure of their anything. you get the choice to either force them into
a role, and thus get ballet dancers, olympic athletes, women, men, depression and suicide
shinohai: Possibly, "OMG this sucks so bad imma become
a carpet muncher" <<< plausible?
☟︎ trinque: I'm always curious whether people had
a net gain mining
trinque: ben_vulpes: open
a new term
BingoBoingo: I think alf may be onto something with the BIP 14 user agent strings. If nodes are claiming maxint protocol version and not serving
a user-agent string to turd nodes.
trinque: haven't had
a problem yet.
ascii_field: anyway mcaffee is something almost like
a real person and not
a good candidate. loose cannon from usg pov
assbot: Logged on 06-08-2015 15:33:07; mircea_popescu: honestly i'm surprised he's not more publicised. seems just the man to lead
a "bitcoin resurection effort" "cryptosecure phone" or whatever other such usg-nonsense
trinque: it might be
a simple fix to get it to reconnect better; I just lack the interest to cram yet another c-like language into my head
trinque: so anything with
a redis client would work
trinque: I like that it's built as
a core server and the services are independent of that
trinque: has trouble reconnecting, seems like
a race condition
trinque: bundle is each deed in order with
a single newline between
trinque: but anyway, if you'd like
a copy, I could give you one
☟︎ trinque: Adlai | trinque: where exactly is deedbot-'s source? << on my laptop and
a server, no shithub to be found
punkman: looks like he hasn't had
a haircut for
a decade
mircea_popescu: honestly i'm surprised he's not more publicised. seems just the man to lead
a "bitcoin resurection effort" "cryptosecure phone" or whatever other such usg-nonsense
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "The shootout with the police was highly exaggerated and in fact no one was even hit by
a bullet, let alone harmed by one. The police knew me and I don't believe their hearts were truly in the shootout, as it is not included in the official report. When I ran out of ammunition, I surrendered quietly and the officers and my self had
a cigarette together and joked about my bad aim."
mircea_popescu: "John McAfee, the eccentric antivirus pioneer, was arrested in Tennessee for driving under the influence of drugs and possessing
a handgun while intoxicated."
mircea_popescu: which results in
a situation where killed bitcoinds ruin their blockchain because well... can't make sense of it anymore.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually, yeah. my detachdb forces proper flushing of db ops to disk such that the disk is always consistent. this was (mostly) the behaviour pre 6. the power rangers came up with
a retarded scheme where they held about half of txn in memory in an ad hoic cache
punkman: I like how detach means combine into
a single file?
mircea_popescu: ah, not even
a million yet. what sort of video driver is this!
mircea_popescu: shinohai not really. either you verify or you don't. if you don't, might as well not bother storing
a blockchain of unknown origion and run spv. if you do, you do.
shinohai still wants to torrent blockchain f he can ever get
a clean sync.
mircea_popescu: anyway, leaving aside the ever present possibility of extremely obscure bug resulting from our changes, it'd be
a backbone issue.
mircea_popescu: i really don't have
a strong opinion on it, but i am pretty certain it's not them making you unreachable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd prefer this in the form of "running X bit of b-
a infrastructure". otherwise...
assbot: Logged on 06-08-2015 04:46:59; decimation: asciilifeform: oh, thinking about the 'mapTransactions' problem, I think the only real solution is
a finite buffer with some kind of fifo
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-08-2015#1227427 << strangely, that article doesn't read "russia is acting like
a mature adult and is ignoring our idiot child tantrums re "embargo". instead, they graciously allow us to use infrastructure we can't afford, for being poor, the consequence of having been stuck in idiot child mode for decades now"
☝︎ assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 22:39:05; ascii_field: 'Welcome to regulated America, where once fabulous consumer inventions like refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, and dishwashers have been reduced to
a barely functioning state. The reasons are always the same: 1) phosphorous-free detergent, 2)
a fetish with saving water, 3) weaker motors that use less electricity, 4) more tepid water due to low default settings on hot water heaters, and 5) reduce
BingoBoingo: Entire English language RPG genre though, based on
a shit Aussie flick
decimation waiting for the "ITC" to issue
a "general warrant" for bitcoin packets crossing us border
decimation: someone else takes it and runs on
a network with less latency than yours
assbot: Logged on 19-07-2015 20:13:10; decimation: yes, but you would agree that building such
a network with an eye toward minimizingn latency everywhere would be expensive
decimation: asciilifeform: well, they might not 'spv' if they had
a node network from which they could draw juicy fees
decimation: BingoBoingo: needs more than miner fee, ideally some kind of 'bolt-on' mechanism for 'paying for
a spot in the tx queue'
trinque: n6: my recommendation for
a newb is to go with the first one.
decimation: asciilifeform: I know mircea would like to push it off, but really I don't see
a solution to the memory problem without devising some kind of priority mechanism for txns
n6: trinque: Could you give me
a link please?
trinque: n6: mod6's guide would take you through
a process which will familiarize you with several of the most-used knobs and switches
trinque: which is to say you've been dropped into
a spaceship already in flight
decimation: asciilifeform: oh, thinking about the 'mapTransactions' problem, I think the only real solution is
a finite buffer with some kind of fifo
☟︎ decimation: "The ITC has the power to issue an “exclusion order” that directs US Customs and Border Protection to seize the goods. It also has
a cease-and-desist power that can be directed at third parties. Violating the cease and desist order can result in
a penalty of “$100,000 or twice the domestic value of the articles,” whichever is greater. "
BingoBoingo: "The Marrakesh Express has arrived!" Best way to open
a game of "dopewars"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ehind. Army field manuals warned that it was "not possible to state that [the timers] will fire at
a specific time," so SADM teams were trained to predict the general window in which the weapon would go off.' << Guess the gold/brass ratio in the spring
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and don't pester me with "surgical precision". the last thing
a defeated and runniung away force ca do is make sense. << That sort of precision seems to demand people's backs
decimation: sounds like an effective way to cover
a retreat
mircea_popescu: and don't pester me with "surgical precision". the last thing
a defeated and runniung away force ca do is make sense.
decimation: by men who have
a pretty good hint that they ain't coming home
mircea_popescu: decimation that's not the idea. the idea is... so tanks go around, now you're stuck with some units caught between
a crater fgulla radioactive water and enemy spear units
decimation: it's not
a particularly large bomb as nukes go
mircea_popescu: what
a fucking nightmare,
a "countermobility" unit that drops random nukes
Michail1: Think I have been here
a long ass time, only for logging though.
