asciilifeform: dipthong

asciilifeform: mbwebwengabwebew...etc...

asciilifeform: idk the consonant clusters scream 'nigerian spam'

asciilifeform: judging by how much time these folks have remaining to soak up on reddit etc

asciilifeform: i'm not certain this circus actually soaks up their time

asciilifeform: besides the seeping pseudoafricanization

asciilifeform: any relation to 'dwolla' ?

asciilifeform: 'here in zimbabwe we do not use white man logic'

asciilifeform: where the decrease of the chocolate ration adds up to an increase of fiddy grams, as per orwell

asciilifeform: and perhaps local arithmetic

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352473 << same planet that has 'local' wots ☝︎

asciilifeform: a pastebin is an anon crud accumulator

asciilifeform: there is no need to sign all pastes, this actually is the opposite of a pastebin

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352443 << no!! because deedbot requires privkey use during paste, which is very arduous if you have good hygiene ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: but original was 'debug sanity' and did 2 very distinct, separable things, in 1 patch, which imho is mistake

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352438 << was precisely what i meant. ☝︎

asciilifeform: (the curl part, that is)

asciilifeform: or how phuctor submission also worked

asciilifeform: ideally a tmsr 'pastebin' would take input by gpg --encrypt --recipient thingspubkey... | curl -X POST ... ☟︎

asciilifeform: ick turdlibs

asciilifeform: punkman: afaik 'curl' does not

asciilifeform: (perhaps i missed this)

asciilifeform: has anybody here written own 'pastebin' ?

asciilifeform: ugh

asciilifeform: btw my gcc does not like redefined printf etc

asciilifeform: punkman: ah

asciilifeform: replacement for turdatron.

asciilifeform: except with actual crypto

asciilifeform: y'know, sorta like heathen versionatrons do

asciilifeform: and then punkman doesn't end up writing a patch that needlessly conflicts (or vice versa)

asciilifeform: as in, a place where i can go & drop it in

asciilifeform: mod6: i meant on trb www site

asciilifeform: punkman: i like this patch except imho 1) patches ought to do One Thing 2) printf hardcoded to stdout is Wrong Thing ☟︎

asciilifeform: punkman: ah i recall

asciilifeform: mod6: neato

asciilifeform has, unsurprisingly, a half-written unusable version of this

asciilifeform: speaking of which, we still need a thing where folks can drop in vpatches and sigs and redraws the flow graph

asciilifeform: does it merge into the existing bleeding edge without complaint ?

asciilifeform: in the ml ?

asciilifeform is tired of seeing wxisms in the viewer

asciilifeform: ;;later tell punkman was it you who submitted the patch that removes all remaining wxisms ? if so, would you consider rewriting as a vpatch ?

asciilifeform: (just picture something like a small cdrom but with si underneath)

asciilifeform: one bonus is that it'd be optically-inspectable, too.

asciilifeform: they cost, what, ten bux.

asciilifeform: we have the optics.

asciilifeform: (laser-writable fuse rom, that is)

asciilifeform: or even fuse rom

asciilifeform: incidentally, why was there never (afaik) an attempt at a laser-programmed fpga ?

asciilifeform: eventually.

asciilifeform: pubkeys really oughta live in rom.

asciilifeform: this is the Right Thing.

asciilifeform: punkman: a very reasonable film scanner costs a few hundy

asciilifeform digs in log

asciilifeform: mod6: why is .wot dir ever created automatically ?

asciilifeform: http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2015/06/21_a-tour-of-bitcoind-booting-to-its-first-thread.html << would be neat to see an updated this ☟︎

asciilifeform: ;;later tell ben_vulpes http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2015/10/18_static-compilation-woes.html << is that... a chick's hand-writing ?!

asciilifeform: (equally incomprehensible imho)

asciilifeform: whereas today people will spam their photo to all-comers.

asciilifeform: sorta like a continuation of the - legendary - indian tribe who 'camera steals your soul'

asciilifeform: 'you wouldn't leave'em for the rubbish men'

asciilifeform: but there it was

asciilifeform: i never fully understood the reason for this peculiar (and foul smelling! try it) custom

asciilifeform: when emigres (incl. my own parents) packed up, they burned old photos (that would not fit, folks have ludicrously fat binders of these; or for whatever reason not brought along for the ride)

asciilifeform: re: photographolalia: interesting to note how the psychology of photo changed over time:

asciilifeform: contrary to the ibm legend, there was no nazi palantir. ☟︎

asciilifeform: wai wut

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the other gestapo did not suffer from delusions of machine learning!1111111111 to help them process somehow infinite tips into an edible portion ☟︎

asciilifeform: the schmucks wanted to ride the good times while they lasted

asciilifeform: obamacares are a temporary thing

asciilifeform: even... make moar of themselves

asciilifeform: guess what, they also eat and breathe in total violation of the economic cost...

asciilifeform: 'we stored 400 million dick shots for ft meade but they forgot to agree to pay us'

asciilifeform: but there it is.

asciilifeform: nobody likes irs either

asciilifeform: (hoping to emulate, perhaps, 'mcdonalds' or other cattle industry)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: many 'startup' schmucks actually plan to make a 'product' which lusers simply stumble into, like flies into a carnivorous plant

asciilifeform: http://www.zr.ru/archive/zr/1988/09/planiruietsia-zastoi#1 << hey check out this lulfest, folks wide awake to the automotive slavery of usa

asciilifeform: punkman: who said anything about static, necessarily

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://www.zr.ru/archive/zr

asciilifeform: every car owner was a 'gearhead' by necessity

asciilifeform: massive circulation

asciilifeform: and even there was a car mag !

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this would make sense except that it DID exist

asciilifeform: mine - reduces to the 'excluded middle' discussed in the old thread

asciilifeform: i'd rather hear mircea_popescu's hypothesis re: why said machine does not presently exist, first

asciilifeform: which half ?

asciilifeform: the funny part is, a machine that '3d scans' your carcass and stitches a reasonable suit, is entirely possible from technical pov and would cost what a garbage truck costs, at the most. but you will sooner see a machine that serves you your own liver to eat, than this

asciilifeform: perhaps one day i will be fortunate enough to crash on an island and eat livers of neighbours and will enjoy it again

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily i loved it as a kid, then did not have it for some years, and now can no longer stand it

asciilifeform: rather like a sort of inverted dope addiction

asciilifeform: esp. if you're a kid

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352205 << the beautiful magic involved here is that it is ~actually possible~ to, in some cases, give yourself various dietarytardisms by 'trying' ☝︎

asciilifeform: well m moved to kr

asciilifeform: somebody oughta drag them, kicking and screaming, to washington, and make'em live here

asciilifeform: quite like other post-sov folks

asciilifeform: incidentally, maslennikov derisively cites kgb indoctrination ('in the west, yes, they pay you 5k usd/mo, but most of it will be spent on house and medicine') as if it were somehow false

asciilifeform: like mains current

asciilifeform: and why does it have to be actual dollarz? most of it goes right back to rent racket

asciilifeform: hey, to an illiterate cave dweller all voodoo is the same, aluminum airplane or straw airplane

asciilifeform: 'i woke up in a ditch in drunken haze and with a company, i have no idea why i have it'
