mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in the end, did you get prices from anyone that weren't utterly ridiculous, 2x internets ?
BingoBoingo: I misjudged the capacity that doesn't involve taking the boat to Buenos Aires.
mircea_popescu: so was this basically a case of a) you figured you'll play at teh FX speculator and it didn't work out for you or b) you misjudged http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769068 capacity of the place to such a degree, all it could actually absorb was a measly 500 ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and in today's "engineering's not my calling" : i have some nice thick candles, which no longer burn because the thread-thin wicks they came with aren't strong enough to melt the whole thickness and as a result they get drowned in melted wax.
asciilifeform: well they couldn't have pissed away ~all~ the stolen coin, eh
asciilifeform: i wouldn't complain over a rerun of the sacramental 100...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform isn't it lulzy how there's EXACTLY the same "volume" going on the fiat fansites irrespective ?
mircea_popescu: just because one manages to die in spite of penicillin doesn't mean antibiotics aren't the end of transmissible disease.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, culture is entirely the product of regular rape. if you don't bother invading the town across the hill, killing all the men and raping all the women THAT ARE EAGER FOR IT (see http://trilema.com/2016/mochila-o-muerte/#selection-57.0-59.17 ) and killing all the rest, there's simply no way to have a culture, no matter what.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't clear that anybody'dve bothered with bitcoinism if this scenario were possible
mircea_popescu: 2mn halved every year for a decade ain't come to much.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-05 18:35 mircea_popescu: america was great specifically because it didn't have that kind of people.
mircea_popescu: just because michael moore of 1800s ranted about "robber barons" don't mean jack.
mircea_popescu: america was great specifically because it didn't have that kind of people. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re the rails, i still don't wholly grasp whether the railroad co's in 19th c usa actually robbed anybody, or whether (as seems moar plausible) the whole thing was an early sneak preview of early-bitcoinism
a111: Logged on 2018-02-05 16:16 hanbot: mircea_popescu sure i remember, was one of the more hysterical objections i'd ever heard. and iirc it wasn't just that *trilema* was "illegal"; *you* were lol
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it wasn't technically expropriation -- iirc it was 1st given away to 'homesteaders' and then 'ungiven' when track was built
asciilifeform: ain't that the central knob ? what does this leave ?
asciilifeform: https://youtu.be/1Ol2WJIoE0A?t=1m8s << oblig tru-to-laef hollywoodism
asciilifeform: they compose 'except when they don't', as in the various vdiff inbandism headaches
mircea_popescu: then again you don't so much like sed.
asciilifeform: sometimes, trivial fix. ( koch's gpg had at least 1 case, iirc ) but doesn't generalize to a mechanical fixer.
mircea_popescu: they don't. they just put the right words in the makefile.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-05 15:21 asciilifeform: still something that imho a respectable ports collection oughta be able to auto-disgorge, e.g. 'give me last ff that didn't demand gtk3'
a111: Logged on 2018-02-05 15:20 phf: asciilifeform: by the way, freebsd's ports system (i tried it on a machine that can actually compile things, unlike x60) is a little bit more configurable than pkgsrc/openbsd, so you can actually disable dbus in emacs or firefox! but the lulz of lulz, firefox depends on gtk3, where you can't configure out dbus, so presumably it gets pulled anyway.
asciilifeform: didn't even think to eggog
mircea_popescu: well, they soon will, of course. but i hadn't mentioned either.
mircea_popescu: in retrospect, that 50% may be severely understated -- i can't think of a girl that actually likes boys. even if not gay, the selection on tap is such that... well...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've met a bunch of "vegetarian" gals that are no longer ; much like i actually fuck about half-lesbians by headcount these days. if you don't know how $item is, easy enough to "give it up"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've met a number of amerivictims who can't abide actual cheese, for stated reason.
asciilifeform: or is it clear even to maggot that if mircea_popescu wanted to feed a cake to maggots, he can get them right outside of his window, and doesn't need to import from overseas ? but for this other item somehow not clear
hanbot: mircea_popescu sure i remember, was one of the more hysterical objections i'd ever heard. and iirc it wasn't just that *trilema* was "illegal"; *you* were lol ☟︎
mircea_popescu: hanbot hey, remember when trilema was declared "illegal" because i had an ocean of stickers put up in the vein of http://trilema.com/2016/pizdi/ and they a) had never thought of it and b) couldn't afford the coupla benjies even if they had thought of it, so massive butthurt ensued ?
mircea_popescu: sure. tons of various kinds, i spent years pissing on them in ro while they were "upset" and "trilema doesn't exist because it pisses on us from the balcony".
mircea_popescu: logically, if you don't step on their face, they're going to go about "having ideas" and "making choices" and so on.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: i assumed, possibly naively, that the orcistani ones simply can't afford a motor. << There is another contingent that believes, or says they believe motocicletas are UNSAFE!!!
mircea_popescu: in fact, the difference between "functioning democracy" and "evil authoritarian regime" in the cia fictionbook is whether the local elite takes the above view or the mp view of "everything you do here, you pay, and you pay to find out how much to pay, and pray it doesn't change further".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i assumed, possibly naively, that the orcistani ones simply can't afford a motor.
mircea_popescu: empower the alt-reality fictions of worthless "precious" cuntlet, so devoid of any value or impoirtance she couldn't even fdind clerical employment in her home country.
BingoBoingo: Eh, there isn't enought to qntra outta the headline I wanted. Apparently the pantsuits are pushing bici to vehicle transponders as a way of ensuring bicicletist safety in a self driving car world. What isn't stated by the pantsuits is a lol, but not enough of one.
phf: tell me again how you don't want a sat solver in your build system

a111: Logged on 2018-02-05 02:33 ben_vulpes: you haven't noticed that bitcoin isn't the toplevel topic here more often than not?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-05#1781173 << maybe techman isn't so interested in tech topics. ☝︎

asciilifeform: this is the karatsuba ch. quite possibly the most complicated in the whole series. and no it can't be split.
ben_vulpes: you haven't noticed that bitcoin isn't the toplevel topic here more often than not? ☟︎
Techman: I don't, mostly because I don't have a lot of bitcoin and what I put into it is tanking :(
ben_vulpes: hey, you don't talk much the name didn't stick
Techman: I just haven't opened my VM yet to do the gpg verification to get voiced again (weechat ran out of memory lul)
phf: poor hygiene outside the gates, if you don't want to sign, can always include a shasum of a secret, reveal it when you need to prove identity to the counterparty. a very simple fire and forget method
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it doesn't
asciilifeform: ( currently i can't see how b41e209ccc264812 can prove that he is the orig commenter. but it ain't me he will have to satisfy, but rather mircea_popescu )
asciilifeform: b41e209ccc264812: you didn't answer why
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: only expensive for folx who don't keep the necessary capital goods around on hand
asciilifeform: it ain't old, if the date field is to be believed, made today
b41e209ccc264812: oo I didn't know deedbot won't like it.
asciilifeform: ... apparently trinque's thing still eats it. ptronic deedbot however won't. i recommend to b41e209ccc264812 to make a new key.
asciilifeform: wasn't this davout's line
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: obviously doesn't, lol, unless i put it in the crate. as was the proposal.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he doesn't have a sage kit.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-04 17:08 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-04#1780956 << can't do long layover over web, i'm planning on calling them tomorrow, and then if that fails i'll try my luck with their rep at the dules airport
davout: BingoBoingo: i wish i could but i won't be able to make it
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: shouldn't there be a link somewhere in there, re what found, where
phf: i've pissed from many rooftops, and it doesn't go as far as you might flatter yourself it will
BingoBoingo: phf: The hilton garden inn is very close and muy caro. If you don't mind a walk http://www.puntatrouville.com.uy/ is in Punta Carreretas, ~2 km from the datacenter

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just put everything in a state he doesn't have to fuck with, he's got no torture room down there.
asciilifeform: but ideally this is for ~later~ BingoBoingo use, rather than 'don't bisp until it has working firmware'
mircea_popescu: anyway, i can't imagine what'd be going on you'r need multiple routers piled up for a c block. really now.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The switch's routing capabilities don't seem like they will be able to handle the transition period from our current borrowed /26 to the regionally allocated /24
mircea_popescu: it probably is that i didn't register the ns with namesilo ; but holy shit, "Go to the Domain Manager page within your account Click the applicable domain name (it will be underlined in black) Click the "View/Manage Registered NameServers" link within the "NameServers" box" << there is no fucking box with links in it wtf
mircea_popescu: i suspect you didn't.
mircea_popescu: phf with deedbot ? you don't need one, it's automatic.
phf: i don't have a wallet setup with that thing, i'll book pay tomorrow. i'm beat right now and don't want to fat finger something
mircea_popescu: there's some. in fairness i wasn't there long enough to say ; but the very idea annoys me.
mircea_popescu: add to that the dismal (and ridiculously overpriced) real estate, and the inept regulations (instead of forbidding poor people / locals from owning cars privately, they came up with the batshit insane nonsense of banning plates by whether they're opdd or even on alternate days. and this isn't an accident, this is structurally how they think.)
asciilifeform doesn't know if he's ever even been to a 'healthy environment' for more than coupla days stretch
asciilifeform enjoys embassies. doesn't actually know anyone who works in'em, however; but where asciilifeform lives they every year have a festival where 'look how great is our goatfuckistan, and how mighty its embassy, have some liquor, ' etc
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 17:03 asciilifeform: i dun even propose to kill HEAD because it is complicated to implement -- it isn't, as i understand. but because 'nobody but pinoys ever seemed to issue a HEAD at asciilifeform's www, in decade+'
mircea_popescu: i thought it's the browser you get if you can't afford orgasm.
mod6: wow, the plateau is @ 8660 ft above sea level too. didn't realize that.
mod6: from the higher up shots of the city, it is quite big isn't it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 sadly i didn't have the time to check out the emeralds museum also, apparently this exists.
phf: well, we don't really have non-allcomers web systems ourselves. the only example from past is mp's retired token system
phf: i don't know
a111: Logged on 2018-02-03 04:52 ben_vulpes: guy delivering servers today wanted to know what i was doing with em; "well let's see, install some software and then rack 'em in a datacenter, what else does one do with servers?" "no but like are you mining bro?" "haha funny. don't you have something for me to sign?"

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779674 << not practically. 2kb max size or what was it, won't get you far. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but you don;t know what to put in the where to begin with. so you get potentially boundless piles of metadata.
trinque: it doesn't.
mircea_popescu: (practically, they just didn't feel like making one verb per thing, because it'd have ended all sgml.)
mircea_popescu: well you don;t know what you don't know. exactly as in the slavery threads.
mircea_popescu: trinque because you don't know what questions may be asked, is the idea.
mircea_popescu: and if you say "i'm interested in x but in 0 bits of it" the logical implication is that you're only interested in any meta-x may be available. which yes might be null, but also doesn't have to be.
trinque: you didn't get back zero in the latter case
