asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730032 << it's as reliable as the lift in a sov apt block ☝︎
asciilifeform: the problem is where to host, if publicly accessible it needs potentially massive bandwidth, and if not public, is a fucking pain ( i won't be entering pw or whatever nonsense every time i want to click a link, wtf )
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 03:35 asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/hl/hl.html << example of one 'handmade' alternative to djvu & similar
asciilifeform: fwiw i have one for publictoilet iron, it's a few line of bash, spits out result similar to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707238 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:29 mircea_popescu: thatg aside, the more pressing problem is that we don't have a proper pdf-decrufter, (random moron with delusions of self-impoirtance failed to be useful, as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730023 << pdf decrufter is similar item to graphical-www archiver, it is turing-complete op, and requires either absolutely correct soft (e.g. adatronic 100%) or sacrificial publictoilet iron. ☝︎
asciilifeform: while the thing stays up and appears to work, it is spottily useful, like google cache et al. but to suggest to build it permanently into infrastructure is nonsense, and i can only assume mircea_popescu had a strong bottle when suggested it
asciilifeform: and even if it stays up, author is a wotless heathen, can be relied on to, e.g., supply logs to enemy, insert boobytraps , lose or modify stored material, one day.
asciilifeform: and author did ~not~ write 'html defucker', by all indications he has a headless browser which infects just like other graphical wwwtrons and is public toilet
asciilifeform: 'let's fetch all of our links via one ip' how is that alone not batshit and invitation for diddles.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:28 mircea_popescu: the principal impediment to republican logging, atm, is that nobod yucan be arsed to write a html de-fucker ; there is one already written, by the archive.is dood, which spits out zips. the solutions then are either a) piggyback on that, which alf has (irresponsibly) been trying to obstruct throughout, and in the laughablest of manners or else b) make own, which will without exception require making own, and RIGHT NOW, not "n
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730021 << archive.is is a (not esp. reliable, and easily, often, blocked by enemy) central point of failure, and to put further pressure on it is screaming lunacy ☝︎
mod6: yeah, kinda interesting little project there.
lobbes: true. pdf converter top-priority
mod6: there's also a few other things mentioned in the thread above.
lobbes: if anything: redundancy. And if in x $time trinque's vision becomes realized I'll be ready to relay whatever I got
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:13 mod6: and it was pretty nifty that it had archived all of the pastes.
lobbes: seems like that's been the main (only?) demand so far: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729991 ☝︎
lobbes: fwiw in the short-term, I may have lobbesbot start archiving wotpastes only and host them to my personal www ☟︎
lobbes: "CarPlay is an Apple standard that enables a car radio or head unit to be a display and also act as a controller for an iPhone." << oh god
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-28#1730101 << ftr, the canonical form is yolk only, no white no milk no nothing. << ah ok ☝︎
BingoBoingo: In other news, Apple's "car play" infotainment software is coming to... The 2018 Honda Goldwing (2-wheels), this is sure to be lulzy
BingoBoingo: But, returning to DC swamp food desert what do alf tastes have to look forward to? How does one cope? Does alf go to distilled water and grain alcohol diet? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Without the drinking to forget, all that remains is a big meatsack full of resentments.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. Companion phrase is "The second best treatment for the alcoholic problems is booze"
mircea_popescu: as the old "there's no rot worse than dry rot" ?
BingoBoingo: Eh, there's no drunk worse than a dry drunk
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 11:19 asciilifeform: plane back to shitschwitz in couplea days
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729713 << This is probably least healthy thing to be doing unless storing fuel for next "burn the ships on touching shore" move. The sorta resentments probable on returning to the big prison sound a lot like how people get lost in bottles. ☝︎☟︎

hanbot: oh hey, that's pretty. what is it?

BingoBoingo: <trinque> lol what, like someone's browser cache is doing as they click? << What's "browser cache" is it like BTC Crash?
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, tis a delicate operation and im not sure we have spare patients.
mircea_popescu: there is merit to this view.
trinque: communist megastate fucktards throughout the entire extant internet, because no one ever dies on field. who could tell; we're all fungible.
trinque: gotta cleave the "$he said $fact" from "there is this silo which is the only source of $fact"
trinque: I am and have been preoccupied with, respectfully, the mike_c problem.
mircea_popescu: which is what that whole " a new $string which resolves to $hash" is all about.
mircea_popescu: the oither problem is of course that this lays right into gns
mircea_popescu: i mean disqus, the spammy comment shit.
mircea_popescu: obviously this dun preclude anyone from private commentary. but you can't have trilema announce shit as comments because it heard from discuss.
trinque: sure, someone announces to you "I would like to scrawl this on your wall" and you announce inclusion or not
mircea_popescu: so i always imagined that to plug web ie blogs such as trilema into gossipd, what'd happen would be that i'd announce what the article is and what the comments were.
mircea_popescu: the reason i didn't start the gossipd discussion with trilema specifically has to do with the comments problem. which is : there's some implicit authority-and-authorship play wrt comments, as reader is more interested in mp's idea of what comments were than in random spew, and by a large factor.
mircea_popescu: iirc signed packets went nowehre in that discussion.
trinque: connected nodes chatter this fact
trinque: take a particular trilema article, your node announces that there is a new $string which resolves to $hash and your node signed the fact
trinque: current web flowing over the thing wouldn't look much different from that; however, things *built* for the model would be parceled differently.
mircea_popescu: so then why not simply pipe the current apache or w/e into gossipd.
trinque: and yep, derives directly from notions being formed in the gossipd threads
trinque: just like the current www
mod6: heh, 'spangle the log'
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 23:11 trinque: trilema in the model has a key, chatters to peers when something is published. peers retain or dont as their node is set, allow others to connect to retrieve items or dont as idem.

mircea_popescu: the great advantage of current archival mechanism is that it powerwashes the targets. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: trinque yes but basic shit, how do you prevent joe from spreading his "virus" thusly ?
trinque: anybody recall directconnect? probably closer to what the thing oughta look like than say gnutella, but with a hierarchy of nodes instead of connecting to one station. ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:35 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729967 << how would this go ?
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730028 << same as the kids used for mp3s and tv, but with signed material published by known nodes ☝︎
trinque: "bitch is taking selfies again; snoar"
mircea_popescu: shinohai how did you compute your 0.00025 anyway ? "gotta type a number in" ?
mircea_popescu: i suspect that contrary to what operator-minded examiner might wish to believe, the limit is the operator not the economics.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:09 asciilifeform: so long as they don't tear hair out when it becomes clear that no, you can't charge for sunlight
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729970 << this is an altogether dubious point. magnolia went south IN SPITE of paying customers, through operator ineptitude. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: which means that even if we have 10 such loggers we'd still lose 16% or so of all links through simple coincidence at this level.
mircea_popescu: for a long time it was reliable, but so far in october it's about 10% up or so.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:08 trinque: and reason I'll yet grunt out a dht webthinger, central archives are nonsense
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729967 << how would this go ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: the only problem in all this is that i'm not willing to put "use archive.is" into the logger spec ; nor am i willing to go "write html-decrufter or die". so... we're FOSSing about.
mircea_popescu: between logotrons that reliably maintain the archive.is produced zips of any linked pages and a service which spits out text versions of pdfs (and youtube videos etc), to be also archived, we'd actually have a complete solution
trinque: sure, separate items. I was attacking the price and that which was priced.
mircea_popescu: thatg aside, the more pressing problem is that we don't have a proper pdf-decrufter, (random moron with delusions of self-impoirtance failed to be useful, as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that. ☟︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: trinque idea being that there's a necessary and natural cut between log matter and linked matter.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:07 asciilifeform: afaik nobody knows where to even begin resolving this knot,
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729964 << except you do, because you've seen the person that knows how to resolve it resolve it. ☝︎
trinque: lol what, like someone's browser cache is doing as they click?
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:02 trinque: arguably future logotron oughta preserve links itself
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729959 << oh, preserve what we say AND ALSO the links ? and what else ? how about the girls, preserve all of them the age they were so we can revisit when we're old, the girls we loved as if they're 16! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ah there we go, http://trilema.com/2013/a-deal-can-be-anything/#selection-27.0-27.105 "I am here from couple of years and have good knowledge on how to promote a coin in a big way (like DOGE)."
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 21:45 shinohai: he redid the voorhees paid 2 tweet pyramid scheme
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729951 << heh. where's that dork, "i know how to promote scamcoins big (LIKE DOGE!)" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: which is exactly the opposite of useful work.
mircea_popescu: i ~think~ it ~might~ have been implemented, to some degree at some point somwhere.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-14 16:53 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-14#1683501 >> that is the link in question, yes. it's be tremendously useful if it also had a copy of http://archive.is/download/nQLP9.zip stored somewhere.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 04:28 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1598955 << just download the fucking archive.is archive zips already omygerd.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 22:10 mircea_popescu: i suppose one thing we could do is change how a111 works so that on every outbout link posted here it a) makes an archive.is copy of thje page ; b) downloads the corresponding zip
shinohai: mircea_popescu: well obviously that *wasnt* real
mod6: i don't know if it is doing this any longer, or if it does zips or whatever. no idea.
mircea_popescu: shinohai over a dollar a page, what is this.
