thestringpuller: i don't want to bother anyone with the pain that is regex ~_~
mircea_popescu: retirement is way overrated. i tell you, i thought it was going to be "the life" for the rest of my life. http://trilema.com/2011/nsfw-gradina-edenului/
saifedean: i got a bunch of gaming forum posts, nothing to do with you
mircea_popescu: i was retired.
saifedean: may i ask what did you do in the pre-bitcoin era? In the Bezzle Age?
saifedean: compelling, i must say, but last time i spoke to taleb he wasn't all that interested in bitcoin. i mean, he finds it interesting to a point, but not to the point of healthy obsession and complete disregard of everything else that we share
saifedean: lol, i think i saw this on pete's blog before...
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2014 23:30:49; sexysaffron: I have a video delivery!
mircea_popescu: ah i got something for you here, just gimme a minuite
saifedean: ah, no i don't... i've been trying to learn the ropes
jurov: WTF "I love bitcoin for reasons that Amir Taaki, Adam Back, Peter Todd and Mike Hearn love it."
rithm: i do!
ben_vulpes: actually i'm noping the fuck out of this article.
cazalla: ooh knocked glass off table onto open case.. lucky i drank the water in it just a few minutes ago
RetroUPriser: I've played him before
BingoBoingo: Nah, I'm not drunk enough to chess tonight.
RetroUPriser: How's it going? I was going to see if mircea_popescu was active and willing to play a game of chess,
Vexual: i read about that gut that printed $200 million, he hoarded it
Vexual: yes i see
Vexual: I suppose there are no other qualifiers on purpose
Vexual: so, I'm porndering the notion "Bitcoin realised"
Vexual: I'm trying to get my head around this taxation stuff
cazalla: i mean, why spend $20-$30 on a pizza when you can get one from pizza hut on tight ass tuesday for $3.95!
mircea_popescu: i luv the summoning capabilities of teh log.
mike_c: i'm around
asciilifeform: http://i.imgur.com/zSaUuKQ.gif
asciilifeform: tor compromise through filled circuit ddos << this is a 'classic', described in academic papers. and i can say for a fact that the 'machine' is still turned on. just last night had a tor client fail to form a circuit, for the first time in many years of semi-regular use.
danielpbarron: i've got an up-to-date chain on 0.7.2
ben_vulpes: i'm trying to estimate if the transfer time for my os x blockchain is worth the risk of it simply not working.
ben_vulpes: basically i want to know if uploading my os x 8.6 blockchain to my debian testing machine is worth the time
ben_vulpes: i'm digging through the logs of our conversation about copying blockchains around.
ben_vulpes: i've one sitting on this os x machine.
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: Yeah I'm just trying to learn. Found a couple good things via hacker news.
JorgePasada: Yeah, not for anything secure obviously, but you can still learn from stuff like this I feel
dub: i think the learning is (or was since years ago) don't use tor
gribble: Error: I am not seeing this user on IRC. If you want information about a registered gpg user, try the 'gpg info' command instead.
mircea_popescu: Naphex on a related note, i really don't get all these derps going "oh you know what ? i'll run a hertzner vm through this magic layer. presto, totally anon!"
saifedean: but if you like buenos aires and istanbul, from what i gather from your blog, you will absolutely love beirut... who's like istanbul's little prettier sister
saifedean: much as i'd love to be in the conference, april might be tough, especially as i'm so goddamn far, but i'll let you know if i manage to work out jan/feb
saifedean: so, mp, are you going to be in Buenos Aires January/Feb? I might be popping by for a week or so
mircea_popescu: i still think you should publish it. ever seen http://trilema.com/2014/a-conceit-or-the-importance-of-blogging/ ?
mircea_popescu: i didn;'t get around to reading it yet, but its in the pile.
mircea_popescu: i did.
saifedean: mo, i did email you the dissertation the other day, did you get it?
jurov: but a hdd died, so i don't have pre - .9 blockchain anymore
jurov: ben_vulpes iirc i did it with .7 or .8 then "bootstrapped" .9 by pointing it to .8 node on LAN
cazalla: <mircea_popescu> http://bitdesire.com/crypto-money-expo-online-meeting/ << who is this ? <<< i'm reading this and think, i fucking wrote this article!
mircea_popescu: i think even debian dropped it 5 years ago
ben_vulpes: and i've not.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i think it claims to handle fingerprints as well: https://github.com/coruus/cooperpair/tree/master/keysteak#usage
mircea_popescu: i guess you get the fox award.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i was curiously waiting for the first one to notice.
mircea_popescu: punkman: any objections to punkbot changing name to "notary"? << i like it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 yeah, and i dunno why that is.
mod6: .deed http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=jv7pPT8p
mircea_popescu: dafuck would i want to say, @b{foo}@bi
mircea_popescu: i guess after all the tb and bedbug outbreaks in the best socialist california, twas unavoidable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was a fun thing to make, that. i think i still have the publisher responses somewhere, "omg you write the greatest letters and whoa so sorry i can't publish this"
chetty: now I wonder how many copies of that are floating about
mircea_popescu: i mean... that's like britney spears level.
mircea_popescu: "The result? A formatting language too wimpy even for a novel." <<< this is pure nonsense. i had my novel on the web just fine in plain html.
mircea_popescu: i believe the proper femsociety word for one who does not care about stupid shit is rapist.
pete_dushenski: anyways i'm off. have a great afternoon!
PeterL: but I want everything to fit in the models I already have !!1!
mircea_popescu: PeterL the reason i said "for the theoretically minded" was exactly this tongue in cheek point. "take your broken models and try make sense of the world whydontcha!"
PeterL: would you consider chemistry literature open or closed? I guess it is similar idea, to put stuff in it has to be vetted by experts
mircea_popescu: i hear gavin is planning to fork bitcoin and make his own version.
mircea_popescu: and i did happen to have the finest bitches in the place, buncha losers.
mircea_popescu: yes, anyone can read it. i went to a swinger's club yest, anyone could look at my bitches.
asciilifeform: from what i can personally see, it's heavy on the duct tape
asciilifeform: everything i just said re: flash, applies also to 'pdf'
PeterL: I might just break down and get a newer computer sometime
JorgePasada: PeterL: I believe that all versions of chrome do this automatically
PeterL: I don't feel like I need flash enough to get a whole new browser
asciilifeform: i suspect most folks here do this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, re i do the same.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> personally, i have always used only the most basic and essential subset of pgp std. functionality. <<
PeterL: asciilifeform: re flash: my daughter's school uses some online math games, requires flash. I tried to log her in, can't because most recent flash is no longer supporting linux or pre-'08 macOS
asciilifeform: and the ultimate champ in cementing ancient keys in place, or so i'm told, mircea_popescu's mpex
asciilifeform: personally, i have always used only the most basic and essential subset of pgp std. functionality.
asciilifeform: i still don't know this.
pete_dushenski: i suppose you could use a subkey for gribble and keep the master airgapped
pete_dushenski: so i guess the question is whether keeping a key online for gribble authing is *that* much of a risk
JorgePasada: Technically 31c3 is the confrerence I guess
JorgePasada: Anyone going to CCC this year? I'm thinking about making the trip
mod6: well, i guess there isn't anything I can do now, other than sign it again with 512 ://
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, and suppose you see a message from me using sha1 when you know i use sha512.
asciilifeform: until i retire this key.
asciilifeform: fact is, i don't want to read code page-broken in random places.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, asylum, which i typeset myself, was printed as a pdf. the house ran a large web press, did my run in like three hours.
mircea_popescu: i am not proposing to remove the carpenter's hammers.
asciilifeform: aha i'll wait for somebody to asciiart my old soviet magazine scans, yes.
mircea_popescu: dude. i question it even makes sense to have a good programming language right back at ya!
asciilifeform: i question that it even makes sense to ask for smart reflow independent of page size and shape
asciilifeform: i like manuals, academic papers, etc. in dead tree.
mircea_popescu: i tell you. fixed-form is an instrument for talking with the braindamaged.
asciilifeform: i did write a gizmo that outputs graphical render for the pages, but realized that the bandwidth and disk cache costs would break my back, and then let the domain go to the vultures.
asciilifeform: but then realized that it would be mostly useless (in those days, almost everything i ever saw in 'pdf' belonged in that or similar format - technical documents heavy on graphics)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla, mircea_popescu, others - re: 'nopdf' - i actually used to own 'nopdf.com' and planned to put a similar widget there. (2009-ish?)
mod6: <+asciilifeform> gotta sign, so we 'all hang together or separately' (as, i think, were the words of the americans.) << As true today as it was for Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776
