asciilifeform: '“What we have to question ourselves is, as a society, do we really want to criminalise 13, 14 and 15 year-olds? Or do we want to understand their behaviour, engage with their incredible skillsets, mentor them and try to point them in the right direction?” she said.' << aha, a course of neuroleptics followed by lifetime indenture at junior www dev work in usg sharashka, is the implication.

asciilifeform: can't wait for the психушка !!

asciilifeform: l0l!!

asciilifeform: 'A humanistic, cognitive psychology approach to hacking would be to consider an emotion such as revenge… But my favourite explanation for the academic literature is a Freudian psychoanalytic approach to hacking, which actually conceptualises hacking in Freudian terms as a cyber-sexual urge to penetrate. And there are castration complex overtones in terms of being cut off from the network as well…'

asciilifeform: if not --> colony.

asciilifeform: (this is a not altogether bad heuristic for what is a usg colony - can you bribe a traffic cop ?)

asciilifeform: eu is a usg colony

asciilifeform: like most of the planet.

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: looks spiffy from the photos

asciilifeform: ('trailers' are not permitted in most of usa except in specially-designated leprosoria)

asciilifeform: perfectly fine accommodations, physically - about on par with my old flat. BUT you have to live near the other dalits.

asciilifeform: (a kind of truck box)

asciilifeform: we have a kind of 'barrel' in usa - there is a caste of folks who live in converted 'trailers' ☟︎

asciilifeform: barrel is not so terrible. it is being solely a barrel's radius from the mass of stinking, writhing human refuse that typically surrounds the barrel, that is.

asciilifeform: morth korea ?

asciilifeform recalls http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-10-2014#870766 ☝︎

asciilifeform: this - is living.

asciilifeform: i mean, we can infer that kakobrekla's barrel contained a computer and also whatever was required to keep his brain alive and in reasonably well-oiled condition

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: what kind of barrel ?

asciilifeform: ??

asciilifeform: was an interesting sight.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-11-2015#1315803 << i used to work very near the (now - demolished, and replaced with obscenely imitative - of it - sprawl of condos) ruins of a 19th c. 'finishing school.' ☝︎

asciilifeform: ars longa.

asciilifeform: i don't expect to live to eat even the very tip of that carrot. ☟︎

asciilifeform: ...building a sane computer.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i still have my original carrot

asciilifeform: and it is responsible for most of the #ifdef noise, also

asciilifeform: speaking of this, secmem.c is getting cut and replaced with a stub. because this crud does not belong in mpi, needs to be a quite separate library.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: note the ordering in the formulation.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: you probably knew this, but i live in 'break my back to pay the bills and with the scraps of time and energy that remain, work on s.nsa' mode.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nah it's a perfectly logical sort of depressed. down-->'my pathetic handful of coin won't even pay a month's rent'; up-->'now there's many fewer that i could ever hope to have'

asciilifeform: trinque: i suppose it won't be done until i do it..

asciilifeform: and no log-munching, what, you need a hard list of friends

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: (that accepts no connections)

asciilifeform: trinque: the real problem is that -connect results in a castrato node

asciilifeform: trinque: the tricky part is that it needs to switch destinations (nodes) when the local node aborts

asciilifeform: it doesn't need to do very much.

asciilifeform: presently.

asciilifeform: and it sits below 'pogoization' on the list, also.

asciilifeform: the whole 'noble nodes' thing is on my plate but i elementarily lack the time right now to do any of it.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-11-2015#1315773 << have you (or anyone else) considered writing a simple tcp proxy for this ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-11-2015#1315752 << dan mocsny had great fun with this ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-11-2015#1315736 << the way to do it is gpg --homedir /tmp/dirthatyoumadefortheoccasion ☝︎

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform equally depressed on ups AND downs, probably to nobody's great surprise

asciilifeform: wai wat

asciilifeform: ;;ticker --market all

asciilifeform: sorta like i predicted (which wasn't hard, but for some reason nobody gave a flying fuck) in my ancient article, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=132

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: apple, like a time-and-spacewise miniature tabletop model of usa and the west at large, is burnings its furniture.

asciilifeform is lately in the habit of reading things before running'em

asciilifeform: which is not a thing that you want.

asciilifeform: likewise, any keys imported outside of 'v' will be applied by 'v'

asciilifeform: (imported keys will stay imported)

asciilifeform: ^ this means that attempts to run with smaller subsets of a wot that was ~ever once~ used on the box - will fail !

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 in your 'v', gpg doesn't seem to be confined to a temporary state dir !!!?

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 s/leafs/leaves

asciilifeform has been out of bed much too long

asciilifeform: ah, yes.

asciilifeform went on clearly wrong mental path, tried to picture something pertaining to hans reiser

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i gotta ask: what in satan's green earth is a raiserist ?

asciilifeform: where might one find them ?

asciilifeform: what are those ?

asciilifeform: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-03/when-a-127-year-old-u-s-industry-collapses-under-china-s-weight << RIP alcoa

asciilifeform: mod6's 'v' is nice'n'polished

asciilifeform: cool

asciilifeform doesn't like running items that no one has signed

asciilifeform: mod6: this looks nifty, sign & post to ml ?

asciilifeform laments having to do this

asciilifeform replacing the whole bloody mess with own allocator

asciilifeform: (by whom? i do not know.)

asciilifeform: the way in which it is written suggests that it ~once~ worked but was mutilated.

asciilifeform: explodes into a fiery hell

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phun phakt: M_DEBUG in gpg-1.4 never worked

asciilifeform: didn't mircea_popescu confess that he'd much rather have the tall lanky pharaonic folks than the present crop of orcsen

asciilifeform: (i dare say not)

asciilifeform: worked great in ptolemaic egypt ?

asciilifeform: (or what is he doing in rotherham ?)

asciilifeform: sure he does.

asciilifeform: but in rome/berlin/stockholm there is payola.

asciilifeform: (though it may well have been cn who airdropped brand new ipnohes)

asciilifeform: last i heard, it wasn't the chinese who flattened syria

asciilifeform: as i understand, cn is only involved in the sense that it is impervious to the usg orc-pushing current

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: but yes.

asciilifeform: iirc they dropped mustard gas

asciilifeform: put in this notation, it is smashingly obvious.

asciilifeform: 'paris eats couscous'

asciilifeform: now this, yes.

asciilifeform: and if you don't burn down the church, someone else will ?

asciilifeform: somebody tell jurov.

asciilifeform: so nato is a scam ?

asciilifeform: consult, e.g., the memoirs of one douglas mcarthur.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: re: cylinder, it is the lapping rather than the milling that is the tricky bit

asciilifeform: neato

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cuba?

asciilifeform: but perhaps i'm out of date

asciilifeform: i'd expect sov. tube sets in cairo
