mircea_popescu: artifexd baby we need that thing so we can use it as
a model to make
a new dhcp too!
mircea_popescu: they happen to matter
a whole of
a heck more than whether you're either right or reasonable, as it happens.
mircea_popescu: do you own your servers which you colocate ? do you rent time on
a shared server ? these things matter.
mircea_popescu: would they have done the same if i didn't have
a lawyer ready to sue ? no. had the dc been more scared of me than of them if i hadn't etc ? no.
mircea_popescu: so they sent
a bs complaint, i replied, they sent
a dmca, i counternotified, they went away beaten.
cnerd: yea, same dude(s). So, what happened, did they follow up with
a more serious attack afterwards?
assbot: The lulz of today : DDoS attacks, ransom notes, Tor anonimity and other faits d'armes of the retarded generation on Trilema -

mircea_popescu: Chillum
a) feudalism is the most complex form to date b) democracy hasn't failed, it succeeded. like communism. turns out nobody can stand its final form.
Chillum: when more complex forms of government fail it always reverts to
a simpler form
Chillum: back then if you could not manage
a land it was given to someone else
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, this greek stuff is
a fine test of the whole array of lizard hitler theory. clearly he couldn't possibly allow this, right ? when's the last time someone defaulted to the britton woods system ? when's the last time
a government said fu, we're not going to do what you want us to do so we fail electorally ?
mircea_popescu: the process took
a few decades to come to roost, but now stupid countries are behaving comensurate with that.
mircea_popescu: you see ?
a! like, there are others, this is just one of
a class!
Chillum: is that like
a silent fart?
mircea_popescu: “We may have to go into
a silent arrears process" << check it out, they have
a word for it and everything!
Chillum: If you want
a place you basically have to wait for the university to let out, so once
a year
nubbins`: vacancy was below 1% here for
a while
Chillum: finding
a place to live around here is hard even for
a local
mircea_popescu: not even. sign the lease, expect leasor to buy you drinks at the bar, sublet the place to
a bunch of other dudes, never pay
a dime in rent
nubbins`: sign
a lease, move out
a month early and leave 35 bags worth of trash behind
Chillum: yup. They are handling the global currency collapse in
a very tactical manner
mircea_popescu: Chillum greece is the main example of
a certain way to run
a country, which is : make promises to whatever power, then not keep the promises see what it does.
Chillum: and the 15% of it to the south west has nice weather for several months
a year
Chillum: we are
a mosaic, not
a melting pot. We want disparite cultures
Chillum: Vancouver Island is
a culture of its own
nubbins`: with real curds and
a thick gravy on some home fries, it's divine
nubbins`: take chillum, myself, and
a quebecois
nubbins`: canada isn't really
a country so much as it is
a collection of geographically and culturally disparate regions
Chillum: It is
a big country that I live in
mircea_popescu: maybe next they can leech some money off the russians for
a while, making promises ?
Chillum: in Canada you don't need to ip
a tx is under $3k
a day and under $10K in
a year
Chillum: the general population has
a strong tendency for crazies
Chillum: I have only met
a few of my customers, I do NOT want to know them
Chillum: anyone can make
a fake one
Chillum: what does
a blog accomplish?
Chillum: the percent of people who run
a rull node will continue to drop
mircea_popescu: people, the sort who imagine themselves "part of the community" for no reason, not being able to pass even the minimal qual of running
a node, have nfi just how heavy 1mb blocks are
mircea_popescu: jurov the idea being that putin didn't write himself
a piece of paper saying "hey if i don't like you it's ok to take your stuff". or if he wrote, he didn't sign. or if he signed, he didn't publish. etc.
☟︎ nubbins`: "I'm
a musician that supports Bitcoin! Check out my weird shitty demos!"
nubbins`: closest we got was hosting
a bunch of US mil bases
assbot: Logged on 26-02-2014 22:17:08; nubbins`: "the key to
a woman's puss is through her guts", i said
nubbins`: imagine giving
a thousand business cards to someone who /does not interact with clients/
nubbins`: <pete_dushenski> i saw it, just saying that i wouldn't make use of that many <<< my first job as
a "web dev", they gave me 1000 business cards. for some reason.
nubbins`: but i talk from
a place without knowledge here.
nubbins`: seems
a waste to emit anything but the visual spectrum
nubbins`: asciilifeform just unpacked
a laser printer/scanner/copier thingie and went 'wtf' because it weighs maybe half of what the dearly departed predecessor did. must be 95% corn plastic or sumthing <<< scanner bed probably lexan instead of glass, etc ;p
nubbins`: <mircea_popescu> ahaha im bashing that paste shit. nubbins you should start your own act. <<< i'm more of
a thief in the night when it comes to lels.
nubbins`: <asciilifeform> folks who, to
a first approximation, -don't read for pleasure- tend to write rather disconcertingly like
a poorer version of what they did read. sorta like vomit looks something like the food at times <<< "This latest tome puts X in the awkward position of having written more books than they've read"
nubbins`: *:asciilifeform has
a list. <<< seems we've all got different lists of people who will be put against walls for various reasons
nubbins`: did i miss
a memo or somethin? wild party guise
BingoBoingo: "Maybe if they’d listen to us curmudgeons once in
a while, rather than trying to shut us up, community colleges wouldn’t be in the shape many of us are today: taking unconscionable amounts of students’ loan eligibility and seeing them leave when it runs out, as illiterate/innumerate as they were when they got here. No one wants us to talk about that, though."
mircea_popescu: "Just as it is the way of an ape to imitate humans, so too,
a person, when he has become old, imitates himself, and does what was his manner previously."
mircea_popescu: "if wealth is
a curse... well then may god strike me down with it! and may i never recover!"
ben_vulpes: i thought that was
a british/irish thing.
mircea_popescu: "that doesn't make any sense" "But it's got you talking about it!" "only briefly" "yeah well that's
a lot more than the other 93875937394 guys manage"
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 02:21:25; asciilifeform: the other thing is the political nuance here. when you do business with riaa etc. you are banking that 2025 will contain
a world where riaa and the usg it is an affiliate of - are still in business
mircea_popescu: i suppose "innovation" in the superficial sense in current usage has come to this, that it's barely
a proxy for shock value. they ran out of "innovative" alts and now are hoping for interest out of the patently ridiculous.
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 02:19:43; asciilifeform: Cogburn: RIAA project << i for one would only pay even
a penny for something riaa-related if it somehow -takes away- at least the same penny from riaa et al.
gribble: brendafdez was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 week, 1 day, 6 hours, 28 minutes, and 37 seconds ago: <brendafdez> mircea_popescu it works now. Anyway the IP I'm on now is one of
a public AP, it shouldnt be whitelisted. I'll later give you my home IP, and BingoBoingo has my VPS IP already. I didn't know you were filtering.
BingoBoingo: Thing apparently was living, but not very. Shell that seems most motivated to please whatever is on the other side of the screen whether it be Surf or what it imagines #b-
a to be
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 01:45:04; Cogburn: I think we can bullshit the current system by crypto inside of the existing rules and bring about real change. I do not believe in the decentralized anarcho-capitalist utopia as
a world-spanning solution to our ills. I think people will live that way if the want to, but real freedom is the ability to say "no"
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 01:39:28; Cogburn: gamification of reputation is for people who can't give
a good handshake or
a warm, geniune smile when they meet someone.
mircea_popescu: with an imaginary black leader dude that caused
a countrywide revolt.
mircea_popescu: im looking forward to
a remake of spartacus but set in south carolina
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's this thing which seriously proposes that
a texas ranger who took the trouble to hunt some outlaw all the way into wherever the fuck is even talking to some snotty brat.
mircea_popescu: for the record : no child at that time would have fucking dared to open her stupid mouth for fear of
a beating.
BingoBoingo: Eh, she ends up an amputee, there's gotta be
a niche for that
