asciilifeform: you know they only send the clerks home, on 'vacation'

asciilifeform: and if he hadn't ?

asciilifeform: and what, mr o bothered ?

asciilifeform: and the last time a muppet-in-chief tried to actually rule, his wife ended up picking up pieces of his head ☟︎

asciilifeform: ;;google usa veto override

asciilifeform: not how usg works

asciilifeform: at any rate, since when does figurehead queen get to 'end of any federal gov'

asciilifeform: that's where they print the 'election' results tho

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: clitler is anointed winner

asciilifeform: ad from BingoBoingo's link: 'a fecal transplant saved my life'

asciilifeform: or what, let's say word gets out that anybody wanted by a u.s. sheriff only has to make his way to the magic oregon dreamland. still no napalm ?

asciilifeform: not quite

asciilifeform: after he tires of moving imaginary, long-dead armies around on a little map

asciilifeform: aha but hitler has to eat his luger first

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-01-2016#1361116 << wai wut?! that'd be like ru letting chechnya secede. (notice, even flat-broke 1990s ru could not do this, not while it had anything like an army and what to feed it) ☝︎

asciilifeform: this reduces to behaviour of '-addnode' iirc

asciilifeform: as seen by the eye of sauron, even, https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/?q=/therealbitcoin.org:0.9.99.99

asciilifeform: all running.

asciilifeform: 173.73.235.152:8333 216.15.33.203:8333 46.166.165.30:8333 << mine

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: that's the correct use of -connect.

asciilifeform: -connect to the current trb nodes and spray it in, leave'em to broadcast

asciilifeform: a non-listening node

asciilifeform: that's what you get when you -connect

asciilifeform: well it will really suck with a 8-max and outgoing-only turdnode.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-01-2016#1361106 << yes BUT THIS GIVES A USELESS UNCONNECTABLE-TO NODE ☝︎

asciilifeform: (small programmable widget, does 1,001 things)

asciilifeform: for the rng experiment in particular, 'bus pirate' (~$20) works just as well as $1k scope

asciilifeform: (or similar.)

asciilifeform: comes with convenient usb plug.

asciilifeform: buy the kakobreklascope

asciilifeform: ...?

asciilifeform: aha?

asciilifeform: (rng!)

asciilifeform: related, '"The Tengu, and the Woodcutter": A tengu bothers a woodcutter, showing off his supernatural abilities by guessing everything the man is thinking. The woodcutter swings his ax, and a splinter of wood hits the tengu on the nose. The tengu flees in terror, exclaiming that humans are dangerous creatures who can do things without thinking about them.'

asciilifeform: !up okcupiddude

asciilifeform: ^ instructive fable

asciilifeform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShzmzcJM7QI

asciilifeform: unrelatedly,

asciilifeform: (did anyone notice that it was dead for a week+ ?)

asciilifeform: bucephalus is repaired and working.

asciilifeform: in other nyoooz,

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: what didn't you like ?

asciilifeform: and 4th, usable, born where, from wolves ?

asciilifeform: 3 consecutive ?!! shitgenerations that had to be thrown out ?

asciilifeform: *do tend

asciilifeform: those trends to tend to last for the lives of those seeing them

asciilifeform: hey i thought mircea_popescu told us that nobody born after '90 was fit for so much as stove fuel ??

asciilifeform digs in logz

asciilifeform: or is he not ready for valhalla yet

asciilifeform: hey doesn't ben_vulpes live close by ?

asciilifeform wanders off to pet pet

asciilifeform: as in, woman which has no back side and you put your arms around, and out come the viscera

asciilifeform: at any rate, the problem is never abstraction as such, but leaking abstraction.

asciilifeform: where was it... in koran ??? that had the reminder of 'woman is merely a vessel of guts!111'

asciilifeform: reads like a variant of 'i drill my own holez!1111'

asciilifeform: hm?

asciilifeform: and your gurlz hide their guts

asciilifeform: e.g., 'hidden files' in winblowz, etc

asciilifeform: (as in, intended by the builder)

asciilifeform: at any rate, my axiom specifically concerned deliberate untruths

asciilifeform: normally there is not much space between 'white noise' and 'works'

asciilifeform: actually it is difficult for machine to lie without having been constructed with malice

asciilifeform: !s dead souls

asciilifeform: SHALL NEVER TELL A MOTHERFUCKING LIE to operator !11111

asciilifeform: 'The machine shall never tell a lie to the operator.'

asciilifeform: obligatory crackpottery, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=278

asciilifeform: this is a classic case of what mircea_popescu spoke of in the earlier thread - 'illicitly uses thing outside of itself'

asciilifeform: how this was ever tolerated ?

asciilifeform: but looks like the actual rsa op was carried out WITH THE SUBKEY

asciilifeform: 'Key ID - 0xB98228A001ABFFC7'

asciilifeform: e.g., the foo bar example,

asciilifeform: the other interesting part is that IT LIES

asciilifeform: instead you only end up with monkey who is a danger to self and others.

asciilifeform: but you cannot make even bulldozer 'usable by monkey', much less pgptron

asciilifeform: 'make this usable by monkey'

asciilifeform: instead they have a maximally perverse idea

asciilifeform: 'have nfi what the point' would be an ~improvement~

asciilifeform: same exact idiocy

asciilifeform: (the idiot 'wallet' abstraction)

asciilifeform: sorta like the lack of coin control in bitcoin

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-01-2016#1360580 ☝︎

asciilifeform: it is in the attempt to divorce the abstraction of what the user is doing from the actual rsa (moduli)

asciilifeform: the sin, it turns out, was a mortal one, and there from the very beginning:

asciilifeform: but presently it is plugged in and quite annoying

asciilifeform: it will all go to same pyre.

asciilifeform: (the one on the tits)

asciilifeform: anyone recall how mircea_popescu spewed chunks when i pointed out that he's been signing with a subkey and not with the magical modulus ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: my main objection to subkey as implemented in gpg is that IT DOES NOT TELL YOU OR EVEN LET YOU CHOOSE with which modulus (i.e. which sub) it actually signs with ! ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: my understanding was that mpex users kept a separate, unpublished pubkey just for it

asciilifeform: subkey is one of those things that could be a useful idea IF IT WORKED and WERE NOT IMPLEMENTED BY IDIOT ☟︎

asciilifeform: but everybody (with the apparent sole exception of asciilifeform) is doing the whole 'no expire date' thing

asciilifeform: possibly

asciilifeform: and other threadz

asciilifeform: (see, e.g., http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=24-09-2015#1284618 ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: subkeys are pure, unadulterated retardation

asciilifeform: ty kakobrekla

asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/pgp.asc << updated

asciilifeform: i would like to personally shit on the grave of the author.

asciilifeform: gpg won't allow the key to be signed again, either, because 'was already signed'
