Chillum: mircea_popescu: they hire me as a developer, not a consultant
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can see the case for this not being that commodified just yet. but imo unavoidable, with the trend towards it of which raspberry is just a reflection.
asciilifeform: but that was just a hour's dig.
nubbins`: asciilifeform sort of the thing where you need a foot in the door before they'll even price it out for you
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a meta search
Chillum: then complained when it dropped to a penny
Chillum: we would get two customer who wanted their price to be 1 cent below everyone else and we tried to explain that since they are not the only person doing it that they would drop to a penny
asciilifeform: https://octopart.com/search?q=marvell%20%2088F6192 << interestingly, it's either extinct or octo (a paul graham co.!) lies, lies.
nubbins`: <+asciilifeform> make a $100 node << 100 buys a pogo and a reasonable solid state sata <<< 64gb on the way, should get me through to the summer at least
Chillum: I have a lot of Pi 2s to setup right now. I will look into the pogos though
danielpbarron: i think 18 fit nicely in a crate
danielpbarron: i don't have a doc for 0.5.3.1 unless it counts to have one for the pre-release patching of 0.5.3
mircea_popescu: but sure, if you're buying a new disk, takes you to 100ish
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno anyone that doesn't have a "dead" old sata laying around.
asciilifeform: make a $100 node << 100 buys a pogo and a reasonable solid state sata
trinque: ben_vulpes | now i want a directory! << here comes the #b-a gopher site
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron srsly why not a blog format ?
danielpbarron: the notes page is a really raw collection of links and commands
nubbins`: i'll be back in 6 months with this wired into a home automation system
mircea_popescu: buy a pogo try it out, look into the past week's log it's full of people working on it, danielpbarron posted some excellent guides.
asciilifeform: <nubbins`> wouldja believe this is the first piece of kit i've modded that /isn't/ a synthesizer? << notice the unpopulated row of pins at bottom end of pcb? those are gpio's and you can attach random strange to them
assbot: Logged on 28-03-2015 14:50:26; Chillum: I just need to make a $100 node

asciilifeform: send>40 faux usg academics up the river for 20+ eyars << weren't they chinese? or is this a different set of hucksters this time
mircea_popescu: a weed in lizard hitler's bunker.
mircea_popescu: you're like a weed.
funkenstein_: Chillum, what kind of chip you have in there, a Dorrito?
Chillum: similar to but different than a 300 baud modem
Chillum: you had to press play or record to load or save a file
Chillum: it has a cassette tape drive
nubbins`: wouldja believe this is the first piece of kit i've modded that /isn't/ a synthesizer?
fluffypony: through a fake microphone driver
mircea_popescu: consensus is the sort of thing in bitcoind is probably a lead cause of abortion, lead poisoning, fetal alcohol syndrome and the woes of the rings of saturn
assbot: Logged on 28-03-2015 14:43:57; Chillum: Glad it is still being worked on. But frankly I would like to see a complete re-write of the client
mircea_popescu: but there's a vague possibility whole shebang's there and disabled in software
nubbins`: sadly no connector handy, but i'm definitely putting a pin in it for later.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you ever tried soldering a sata on see what happens ?
assbot: Logged on 28-03-2015 14:10:38; PeterL: When does #b-a start our own emabassies?
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-03-2015#1076596 << i dun think we want one, but if you wish to be the b-a ambassador into the midwest... that and india possibly the only places that need an embassy from la serenissima. and candi's got the india.
Chillum: makes a lot of sense in a cold wallet system
trinque: +Chillum | I can understand it. It is removing a security layer, presumably for speed << the whole RPC thing will likely come out, not for speed but for blowtorching complexity
assbot: Logged on 28-03-2015 13:41:23; nubbins`: like a web ring, but funner and in meatspace
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-03-2015#1076586 << also a criminal entreprise, but something tells me tough on his bosses enemies bharara isn't about to bust out the rico and send>40 faux usg academics up the river for 20+ eyars a head.
mircea_popescu: "Sat across from a serious man. He’s sunken himself into the soft underbelly of a woman. A fox, true 1960 pussy. Her silver hair knotted in a fat bun, loose upon her neck. "
mircea_popescu: yo nubsy it's ok baby. a blog is not unlike a penis.
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-03-2015#1076568 << am i the only one who finds the fact that nubbins` had to put FOUR excuses to doing a blog in the blog fucking domain hysterical ?
assbot: Logged on 28-03-2015 11:54:19; nubbins`: "that's such an /american/ thing, hey? 'mentoring'? movin' to a big city and getting yourself a mentor or five?"
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-03-2015#1076548 << tbh i suspect it's a sexual dysfunction.
ben_vulpes: nominally, at one point in history, you weren't allowed to lead at a milonga until you'd been more or less given permission from the other leads in town.
danielpbarron: scam! you said it was a food.. :p
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, anyone care to guess the name of the street my office's on ? its a food item.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's nothing, he's permeating harem speech. yest i was waffling over whether to go to icecream place, girl goes "well not like we gotta go and get the imensatron necessarily". ie, we could get a smaller tub. but no - imensaTRON!!1
funkenstein_: sounds like you are becoming a real porteno
funkenstein_: somebody was talking about a "hosed bus" when i needed to pick one
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ ftr, since im here my brain has decided to multivocalize all j's as h's too, for good measure. and as you logged in it just proposed "hosed" as a possible interpretation of your user.
ben_vulpes: now i want a directory!
Chillum: a hand crafted index of the internet?
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, it's a handcrafted list.
assbot: 47 results for 'lizard hitler' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=lizard+hitler
Chillum: we hear from the people trying to reveal the truth about the lizards a lot
nubbins`: those dots you see moving, unblinking, across the sky 20x a night are the lizards
Chillum: we deal with flat earthers on a daily basis
mircea_popescu: nubbins` formulate plan : only invite potheads to b-a. nubbins` looks upon results : good good goood!
mircea_popescu: the wot works perfectly well on any scale larger than where a democracy breaks down
mircea_popescu: democracy works great but only on a certain scale.
Chillum: it works great, but only to a certain scale
asciilifeform once had a full-blown build of xorg and other userland under cygwin, when worked in usg and forced to use winblows box
asciilifeform: a 30G++++ screen saver ?
mircea_popescu: Chillum this is not half a bad idea, actually.
Chillum: release a screensaver that does it lol, worked for SETI
asciilifeform: but if mircea_popescu has a railroad car it'll be great for morale & lulz
Chillum: having a crate of computers is great. Having them all work on the same problem at the same time is awesome
asciilifeform: Chillum: pretty much everyone reading this has fiber to the grounds and a crate of small computers, just as happenstance
Chillum: but if there is demand and a willingness to pay a reasonable markup
Chillum: it will be a lot of work to do it securely though
Chillum: well mircea I can write a wrapper for AWS that accepts bitcoins from people on a whitelist
Chillum: which is why software as a service is a better option
mircea_popescu: Chillum completely unrelated : do you have any fucking idea how desired a bitcoin host is here ? ☟︎
asciilifeform believes that 'meatgap' would be a more descriptive term for the concept
Chillum: consider the use case of a service that rents say minecraft servers by the hour. The user need to be able to establish a balance and later withdraw their balance when they are done in a reasonable amount of time
asciilifeform: (note to n00bs - this is a good place to point out that the 'air' in an airgap is more than physical concept: i.e. a machine controlled via radio in real time is not 'airgapped')
mircea_popescu: an airgap is merely a golden standard BECAUSE it disallows automation. there's ipso definitio no automated airgap.
Chillum: ben_vulpes: That is always a risk with a hot wallet, but if the system needs to be automated then what is the alternative?
ben_vulpes: because he's building a robo-remitter?!
ben_vulpes: <Chillum> you guys should make a white paper << myeah. someday, i'm sure.
mircea_popescu: firewalls are finnicy to setup, but once correctly setup on a linux box they're reliable.
Chillum: you guys should make a white paper
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes dunno how best implemented, but he raises a good point we're prone to neglect : as exposure increases, which it necessarily will,
Chillum: though it will use a cold-wallet reserve system to minimize exposure
ben_vulpes: Chillum: some day i'd like this thing to not even have a json/rpc api.
asciilifeform: Chillum: at present there is no chance of a 'civilian' stumbling upon 0.5.3.1 and putting it to use
Chillum: avoiding the need for encryption on the API through sound security practices is one thing. Recommending something without encryption without describing those practices is a recipe for disaster.
assbot: How to airgap. A practical guide. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/19ajNp3 )
asciilifeform: Chillum: http://trilema.com/2013/how-to-airgap-a-practical-guide << good starting point
Chillum: I am interested in other ideas, it is just a bit hard to understand what your best practices are
mircea_popescu: Hope you are doing well. I am a client services manager here at AdMedia. I was wondering if there might be a possible partnership opportunity between our two companies. We have previously and recently ran campaigns for trilema.com via third party networks. We wanted to discuss the opportunity of working directly
Chillum: just a bitcoind node with a wallet and a firewall and an API
danielpbarron: fodder for a future qntra article
funkenstein_: ok if you run a bitcoind on a remote machine.. ssh into it
