nubbins`: fuck am i ever glad shit like this is just
a hobby now
ascii_field: i'ma go sit in traffic for
a couplea hours now. perhaps one of you independently wealthy folks can fix it meanwhile.
ascii_field: jurov: though BingoBoingo did 'go ferguson go'
a bit
danielpbarron: well that's
a relief; i had thought my gentoo install was borked
ascii_field: but every time i have
a small success in the things i work on, i picture some 'full spectrum dominance' type who will have to sell his daughters six minutes sooner
ascii_field: as in 'find
a use for, assuming they can eat tree bark and build own computer from mud'
ascii_field: i can readily believe that jurov personally prefers to live in
a us colony than ru colony - and do not take issue with this, it is very much
a private matter
trinque: man, I just wanna end up unknown somewhere with
a greenhouse
trinque: meanwhile I'm not about to run out in front of the white house with my dick out and
a target painted on my chest
ascii_field: jurov: it can't even power
a linux distro yet.
funkenstein_: ascii_field, if
a bunch of assholes wearing usg hats take me down, i will know it was
a bunch of assholes wearing usg hats took me down, not
a giant
funkenstein_:
a gaggle of midgets can be dangerous as fuck i give you that
ascii_field: funkenstein_: when they drag you away, feel free to imagine that the 'giant' is
a gaggle of midgets. much difference it will make in 'gitmo.'
trinque: my only goal is to get out of the way of
a giant that's already mortally injured
ascii_field:
a reply that is meaningfully understood and acted on, at any rate.
ascii_field: there is precisely -one- language in which there could be
a reply.
ascii_field: the choice is between 'die' and 'die like
a man'
ascii_field: as if any of us has
a snowball's chance in hell of escape.
nubbins`: nope. then work as
a contractor for the man.
ascii_field: nubbins`: but even something like living in
a dwelling without the company of strangers is
a titanically expensive luxury in most of the world
nubbins`: you don't need to own
a thing for its desire to shape your set of acceptable environments
nubbins`: understand that your desire to own
a 6-axis milling machine directly conflicts with your ability to live happily off-radar
nubbins`: only if you're happy with living as
a rat.
ascii_field: because rat is as pleased with dumpster as
a man would be with sultan of brunei's palaces
ascii_field: to follow this logic to the end, it is much better to be
a rat than
a man
nubbins`: anyway, whether or not one can survive comfortably off the radar is more
a function of the route their life has taken thus far. it's not in the cards for everyone.
ascii_field: understand, subjects of usg always have the choice of moving into
a private, independent ambulatory jail
nubbins`: you do not know
a hundred people who live in dumpsters.
ascii_field: nubbins`: i can name, if i want,
a hundred people who live in dumpsters.
nubbins`: ? i can name
a hundred people, right now, who live in this fashion
trinque: nubbins` operates from
a crypto-knapsack
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> nubbins`: when the canadian affiliate of usg decides that nubbins` is
a t3rr0r1st!!!1111!!1 and supplying mains current to his home is an atrocity which must end, 'underground economy' will do so in its place ? <<< understand that "underground economy" means you have neither
a mortgage nor
a lease in your own name
ascii_field: and we only know of stack because he had
a creative way to blow his stack, so to speak.
funkenstein_: that bit about the father getting jumped by 45 guys with usg hats totally ruined my april 1 thanks
a lot guys
funkenstein_: cause sometimes it sounds like you guys believe there is
a real usg
ascii_field: trinque: the implications are unsurprising. merely
a friendly reminder from usg that anyone in range is fair game to it to rape with
a telephone pole, and that - unless you're mircea_popescu, putin, or one of
a hundred other folks who can say 'no' and make it stick, all you can do is to wait your turn.
gribble: You rated user othernubs` on Mon Oct 20 13:34:32 2014, with
a rating of 10, and supplied these additional notes: not
a bad guy.
ascii_field: nubbins`: when the canadian affiliate of usg decides that nubbins` is
a t3rr0r1st!!!1111!!1 and supplying mains current to his home is an atrocity which must end, 'underground economy' will do so in its place ?
nubbins`: all of
a sudden the freewheelin hitchhikin hippies aren't so stupid :0
ascii_field: so it isn't simply
a matter of physically getting out - any idiot with 1k-usd or so can do that. but you also have to completely divorce the 'legit global economy'
ascii_field: this also includes folks who have nothing to do with usa but live in
a nato muppet state
ascii_field: re: earlier thread: i will point out that folks who got on the plane and left usa borders but still earn
a living from something on which usg might exert pressure, directly or indirectly, are still inmates of usaschwitz.
mircea_popescu: "To those that suggest that the Sun has something to do with the weather, I say that is just
a superstition. The Sun is far too far away to have any effect on the neighborhood. And besides, the Sun comes up in the winter, but it does not stay warm. But, as soon as people stop using lawnmowers, it gets cold. So, it seems obvious and irrefutable that carbon dioxide causes global warming, and lawnmowers are the main sourc
mircea_popescu: " Lawnmowers have
a nearly immediate effect on the local climate, too. In my area, lawnmowers are rarely used at night, and even 8-hours of lawnmower inactivity can cool the neighborhood by 20-degrees Fahrenheit. The tight correlation between lawnmower use and temperature is so closely related, that the scientific debate on the subject should be closed."
ascii_field: just that mr o can push
a button, and send me to beg for spare change and 'big mac' on highway.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field im not saying it's
a complete solution. i am saying it is
a lot more than nothing.
trinque: yesterday I spent
a fair amount of time thinking about how the US was already the totalitarian govt of much of the world long before I was born
ascii_field: just hearing him talk... was like suffering
a case of food poisoning
trinque: ascii_field: yes but surely there was at least
a veneer of protocol there?
mircea_popescu: trinque bitcoin is factually
a threat to the usg "national security". it exists to end them.
trinque: when they declare working on
a piece of open source
a threat to national security, time to find
a shore and start swimming
mircea_popescu: but when
a cow thinks itself
a farmer and thinks the farmer
a cow...
mircea_popescu:
a cow won't fight another cow, nor
a farmer another farmer,
mircea_popescu: cue obama going for
a condolezza rice impersonation. "nobody had any idea what we were doing was illegal."
ascii_field: which is to say, he can push
a button and i starve
ascii_field: as i've said perhaps
a dozen times, if there isn't an icbm battery between you and the lunatic nato reich - you're fair game to them.
mircea_popescu:
a) i don't think think this would have been caught by pretty much any other outfit on the planet and b) i don't see the proposition we've found
a deep seated hole is readily dismissable.
ascii_field: 'any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have engaged in, directly or indirectly, cyber-enabled activities originating from, or directed by persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States that are reasonably likely to result in, or have materially contributed to,
a mircea_popescu: and this is
a major political decision we are, as far as history knows, the ONLY group willing to make.
mircea_popescu: all standards are, by the nature of what
a standard is, irrational.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field there is no such thing as
a rational standard.
ascii_field:
a -rational- standard against which -rational- folks won't rebel.
assbot: Logged on 01-04-2015 16:36:53; pete_dushenski: plugging your ears and hoping that the bad words don't leak in must be
a terrible way to live
mircea_popescu:
a bitwise copy of your current system on an assemblage of the same hardware wouldn't boot ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field shouldn't be any extra work really. just, bundle the software with
a description of the hardware.
mircea_popescu: this is incidentally not
a bug. it is
a feature. it helps us put pressure on hw manufacturers too
mircea_popescu: "you want to be here, you must buy nvidia hf-333 for
a video card" is perfectly okay.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu is only the 3rd or 4th fella to suggest that i take up maintaining
a linux planet
mircea_popescu: or from
a whole array of equivalent muppets all "doing their part".
mircea_popescu: ascii_field exactly. which is why i said, "when confronted with
a bad software stack (pick
a pogo, fix the os, run it there) is the correct solution not just for THAT one problem but for all the problems derived from the same source."
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 04:00:07; mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-03-2015#1063215 <<< note the important takeaway here. nothing keeps people in other places with shit banks from being intelligent, getting in wot, becoming part of the actual bitcoin marketplace. there's people here from all over the world. over time,
a low effort / consumer thing like btcjam HAS TO devolve into the typical check advance / spam loan operation.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: think for
a minute. not suggesting to run battlefield apparatus -on- emulator. but
a place to standardize imaginary machine for cross-compilators.
assbot: Logged on 01-04-2015 16:06:30; nubbins`: i thought he was
a robot that just spouted words about business
mircea_popescu: ascii_field an "emulation" is basically "let's run
a vps". noty.
mircea_popescu: emulators are
a bad idea. just keep mentioning parts in public.
mircea_popescu: and so what we're essentially doing when confronted with
a bad software stack (pick
a pogo, fix the os, run it there) is the correct solution not just for THAT one problem
ascii_field: parts that i mention in public have
a tendency to become... less obtainable
mircea_popescu: if it comes with
a specification of parts that's also workable.
assbot: Logged on 01-04-2015 16:06:30; nubbins`: i thought he was
a robot that just spouted words about business
ascii_field: thestringpuller: i only ever use it as
a less-carcinogenic substitute for perl
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: after discovering and eliminating several of the reasons for this, i discover
a new one.
nubbins`: naw i wanna buy
a casascius coin from him
nubbins`: "this heavily redacted version of
a pgp-signed document should be enough"
nubbins`: enough for me to verify that there exists
a piece of paper with
a bunch of pgp shit on it that i can't do anything with
