trinque: "I don't think you can raid b-a anon" << lol!

trinque: it's a site that scrapes 4chan for webms and archives them

decimation: scraper is much easier than writing the server stack. as yarvin put it "An Internet server is, above all, a massive fortified castle in alien zombie territory. The men who man these castles are men indeed, quick in emacs and hairy of neck."

trinque: decimation: friend of mine wrote a 4chan scraper in c here -> waifu.xyz

decimation: which would be like engineering a sand castle with a toothpick (to paraphrase ascii)

mircea_popescu: have a chaninx

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a lightweight structure, specific cli style commands and a requirement to start threads by embedding a picture. they're purely cosmetic, it's just a sort of forum ubuntu, if you take vbulletin to be windows.

copypaste: There's a lot if you go back in my commit history, heh...

copypaste: I wrote the catalog ( https://8ch.net/b/catalog.html ), a lot of the javascript (desktop notifications etc), all the board creaetion feaetures, etc

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in this context, a chan is a type of forum, used most famously by 2/4chan

mircea_popescu: but this at start was a futaba or what ?

mircea_popescu: a, you did a bunch of work there ?

decimation: apparently a bbs

asciilifeform: what is, in this context, a 'chan' ?

mircea_popescu ran a romanian chan years ago.

mircea_popescu: dude... this shit has come a very long way.

mircea_popescu:  Good signature from Fredrick Brennan <admin@8chan.co>. Verify this message yourself << check out this shit, a gpg-ready chan

asciilifeform: aha but with a minus sign.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is a specific character, in their imagination, quite akin to the nazi Jud Süß

BingoBoingo: It's a kind of bad, an aspie flavor

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's a neckbeard thing.

mircea_popescu: copypaste people think everyone's me. at some point they thought i was a chick.

assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 03:33:20; mircea_popescu: but they're barely a player.

mircea_popescu: i nearly did a while back, but meh.

assbot: 33 results for 'Van Ads' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=Van+Ads

copypaste: you could open a service like a-ads

cazalla: bit obvious that one was mine but would do better in a pol thread

mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin is a jewish conspiracy so these guys are shills, probably working for JIDF."

mircea_popescu: prolly a buncha people send more banners once they wake up/catch up with the log.

mircea_popescu: ah mkay. anyway, server load was throughout < .2 so i dun think that'll be a problem.

copypaste: It's a new thing added by browser vendors

copypaste: mircea_popescu: you should probably put target="_blank" on the ad <a> tag so it poens in a new tab

decimation: it's possible someone is using infrastructure for a private purpose, but I can't imagine it is officially sanctioned

mircea_popescu: but they're barely a player. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: how is a derpy usg with delusions of separation and self importance different or better from the numerous groups of derpy miners with similar delusions that came and went over the years ?

assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 22:19:52; danielpbarron: i don't have a problem with USG getting 1/3 of all the bitcoin; the can only spend it once

mircea_popescu: Server Load0.03 heh i dun think this will be a problem

decimation: and that being that 'intersecting person' is probably a valuable position

mod6: this is bizzare. i can only get the ssh keys to work /after/ I set a password on the user acount on the instnace (in /etc/shadow). if the user doesn't have a password set, just asks for a pw when connecting. (gentoo uclibc hardened) am i missing something obvious?

mircea_popescu: and write a script!

copypaste: Let me finish rebuilding these boards, it's a pain in the ass to do it manually...

mircea_popescu: and i'm not entirely sure the meta-universe is open to you at all. there isn't any space for you to "Act upon" in this enlightened, gender savvy, "i am an actor in a movie and i read the script" sense.

assbot: Why "representative democracy" doesn't work and doesn't make sense on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1e2CTQT )

trinque: it's strange and a bit exciting to think that a single human can do something which then becomes almost *environmental* to the others

decimation: we did docsis once here before, it's a 'walled garden'

trinque: sounded a bit like "after all, we're the Romans"

trinque: so what did I have a problem with...

mircea_popescu: trinque human freedom is a very limited thing, after all.

trinque: the idea that human action inside a monetary system will reflect the incentives/disincentives of that

mircea_popescu: "you can't halfass bitcoin" is the thing. which property is why i was musing that it's more like a force of nature than anything else.

mircea_popescu: this thing cuts a lot more universally than one'd reasonably expect, and quite scarily in its degree.

mircea_popescu: trinque essentially, an application of "bitcoin is bitcoin" is what sunk gavin. they still mostly can't believe it happened, but it did. it will again. in practice, you either implement a broken, pared down version of bitcoin, in which case bitcoin defeats you, or else you implement a correct version, in which case... you've implemented bitcoin.

copypaste: I stuck it on all the boards. 8chan uses a style of rebuilding where a new post rebuilds a thread on a board

assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 02:55:36; asciilifeform: (and it would have to fall on a different continent entirely)

mircea_popescu: i think that argument holds water, to a large degree. recall the "bitcoin pervers the nsa" discussion with alf maybe a year ago ?

trinque: my response might be "well, why fucking bother with a WoT" for example

trinque: specifically that 'bitcoin is bitcoin' is a reason in itself

mircea_popescu: st thomas comes riding a flaming horse made out of female virgin saint asses

asciilifeform: (and it would have to fall on a different continent entirely) ☟︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i suspect that only neutron bomb could have a hope of dealing with that continent's real problem

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One's clealy a lever action, the other one appears to be a Ruger 10/22 (judging off of the magazing they laid on the OTHER SIDE of the levergun)

mircea_popescu: can you give me a ftp user in a subdir on your server and run it from there ?

copypaste: If you have any domain with a valid HTTPS cert you could use that

mircea_popescu: lemme have it changed, a second, then you see.

copypaste: trilema.com is using a self-signed cert

copypaste: mircea_popescu: just a warning

asciilifeform: i'm still curious, who is going to outcompete a hypothetical usg telecom monopoly inserting miners into cable boxes etc. and on what parameter ? cost of energy ? nope - schmucks pay. cost of manufacture? again, schmucks pay, indirectly. which is it ?

copypaste: OK. Give me a few minutes :)

asciilifeform: but merely the minimal iron necessary to getwork() from usg and return results in a form that is unusable to mitmers

asciilifeform: by 'hanging off one node', meant that the device issued to schmucks will not include a node

mircea_popescu: yes well, 90% of a job is not a job.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform miner without a node ? miner without any security w/e ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is also a counter, yes

asciilifeform: for the benefit of log readers, i will point out again, that a sha256 hashing circuit is dwarfed, complexity-wise, by all but the simplest 'homework' cpu, gpu, whatever other ic product

asciilifeform mined his first, and for long time, only bitcoin, on an fpga for which he wrote a very elementary miner, as an exercise

asciilifeform: it isn't the most optimal in the world (far from it) and a 'serious', 'grown man's' miner oughta be designed at discrete logic level

mircea_popescu: yes, they'll have this in five years. the effort required to do it in a year ? you'd hear.

mircea_popescu: yeah well. it's supposed to go into a diff page, with its own declarations, and it uses no glyphs.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: quite possibly they read the 2013 #b-a thread and took the advice of baking a hashing engine into an existing system-on-chip design

mircea_popescu: <a href="http://trilema.com/2015/causes-and-purposes/#selection-109.0-109.105"><img src="http://trilema.com/banners/trilema-purpose.png"></a>

williamdunne: On the other I get a very quick flash of the no image logo, which then disappears

mircea_popescu: intel has a finite number of discrete fabs

mircea_popescu: you know, in a plant.

asciilifeform: how this act is financed is a secondary consideration. for all i know, they are whoring out their daughters to pay for it

mircea_popescu: it's like you're expecting to find flesh under a stand-up cut-out of angelina jolie.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1130904 << dude. it's the pump phase of a pump and dump scam. what do you expect ? there is no connection between the depicted elements under the surface. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: just as many poltrons then, but really, a lot more style.

asciilifeform: to be fair, the item under review was a prng turd written for turdroid etc.

assbot: [NSFW] Tigancusa, spune drept... on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1e2wGnY )

copypaste: not a very forgiving angle

copypaste: might just be a bad picture of 3

mircea_popescu: random lulz : in the 70s, romania was doing a very argnetine-like autarky thing. making local whisky, local everything. including local gin, which was made at covasna,

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron and since we're doing future references : you don't want a 20% of empty sky and cut calves. ☟︎

williamdunne: I can remember a while ago a calculation being done that it was cheaper to have a 120gb SSD filled with data shipped to Canada than it was to download onto your existing drive

BingoBoingo: mxtm: Not really. only encoded with 4 letter character set. T, C, A, G

trinque: or a box of cash within which there are several boxes of cash

mxtm: and or a large box of cash

mxtm: cash in mail is also a good option especially for "off the books" type stuff
