asciilifeform: trinque: the thing about fefeleaga in my mind is that the stock off-the-shelf model of existence is a guaranteed suckfest.

asciilifeform: trinque: the mind that invents death ray and spins round, round, round with it, 'for piglet!'

asciilifeform: trinque: easy one

asciilifeform: so extra-depressionified the story

asciilifeform: this is again reminiscent of 'grave of the fireflies', autobiographical animation, author's father - unlike protagonist's - came back from jp navy; author - did not starve in an underground station. but he WISHED that he had

asciilifeform: ^ claims she was somebody's grand-grandmom, and only ! only 3 of her 6 offspring died

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is there a soviet mega-statuelith of fefeleaga somewhere ?

asciilifeform: what are the belching smokestacks doing in the background ?!!

asciilifeform: cazalla: if you have an existing stator, clean out the guts and use that.

asciilifeform: and it's all jurov's fault!

asciilifeform on a hardcore cz kick now

asciilifeform: and place it in rotor/stator

asciilifeform: it means: make a stator

asciilifeform: mod6: just a replay of patch history, but this time with 'vdiff' in place of conventional diff

asciilifeform: mod6: it is very very simple, really

asciilifeform: l0l!

asciilifeform: they get wakeup. just like i do.

asciilifeform: btw, i will have mircea_popescu know that prisoners, at least in usa, do ~not~ get to sleep ad libitum.

asciilifeform: triggered by mention of folks who sleep ad libitum

asciilifeform: nah just a nonmaskable woe interrupt

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: generates

asciilifeform: but i don't expect to see the other end of the war in person, either.

asciilifeform: (or, more accurately, until the war)

asciilifeform: he'll be living with the golden toilet and the palaces forever.

asciilifeform: the kind of pauper2prince described in chuck palahniuk's 'survivor'

asciilifeform: prolly just thinks 'i crapped this out and the grownups are so dumb! they love it'

asciilifeform: i'm not even convinced that mr b knows he's a shill

asciilifeform: at least he has the option of not making them

asciilifeform: to me, a fella who doesn't work and will never have to, is ipso facto rich

asciilifeform: i bet his cock ring is worth more than a container of pogo.

asciilifeform: QED.

asciilifeform: and which one doesn't

asciilifeform: pretty easy. which one drags ass to an office every day

asciilifeform: for one thing, i'm not aware of him working for a living

asciilifeform: compared to yours truly

asciilifeform: hey mr b is loaded

asciilifeform does not know precisely where buterin grew up, but does know that pretty much every kid from that generation dreamed of running a successful scam or racket

asciilifeform: on the other hand, the pipe here is not cheap.

asciilifeform: despite being a fanless little thing the size of a stack of 5 inch floppies.

asciilifeform: the home box, thus far, beats the shit out of all the others

asciilifeform: it is on a commercial farm.

asciilifeform: oddly, no

asciilifeform: incitatus also runs, but is permanently ~50 blocks behind

asciilifeform: much user.

asciilifeform: also note that items like 'rotor', which are not mods of bitcoin proper, are not mentioned in the orchestra.

asciilifeform: to edit rel1.patch and rel2-pre.patch.

asciilifeform: if someone wishes to do this, he can write a bit of awk/sed

asciilifeform: i also did not preserve the dates in the original patches

asciilifeform: (having spiffy commands like 'who-signed')

asciilifeform: will be released also soon.

asciilifeform: a versioning system that is merely a few kb of script ☟︎

asciilifeform: and i will repeat that the output of this, is not at this exact moment very useful. the antecedent hashes are eaten by 'v'

asciilifeform: has.

asciilifeform: it isn't hard.

asciilifeform: i in particular will feel more cheerful once some patient fella actually reproduces the exact thing i did here, using vdiff.sh

asciilifeform: before blessing or creaming pants or other expressions of joy.

asciilifeform: pleeez test!

asciilifeform: and now it is here.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu especially, because he, iirc, wanted this very much.

asciilifeform: achtung, panzerz!

asciilifeform: shannonizers don't create meaning

asciilifeform: wrong question. what does a screen full of static snow 'mean' ?

asciilifeform: pure gold

asciilifeform: '...redefining "bitcoin user" so that less than 1% of bitcoin holders are anointed as 'Real Users'. Enough already. It smells like tyranny, it looks like tyranny - it IS tyranny. And Bitcoin, more than any other community, should overthrow these flawed attempts at governance. Where a minority holds the rest hostage.'

asciilifeform: like those comment sp4mz0rz on mircea_popescu's site

asciilifeform: i can't wait for one of these tards to accidentally publish his madlibs template

asciilifeform: 'I admit there is value in running a node/mining, but certainly a community that claims to favor freedom should have the ability (and courage) to welcome a diverse range of users, even if they don't meet some arbitrary standard set by an elitist insider.'
