asciilifeform: choosing where to go for dinner with a coprophagiac; compromise - eat only a little shit.
phillipsjk: Theymos (the Bitcointalk admin) proposed a compromise for the block-size issue: start with 2MB blocks. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=941331.msg10352457#msg10352457
assbot: Trust relationship from user assbot to user phillipsjk: Level 1: 0, Level 2: 1 via 1 connections. | http://w.b-a.link/trust/assbot/phillipsjk | http://w.b-a.link/user/phillipsjk
mircea_popescu: nm me then. i have a bit of a writer's mind :D
mircea_popescu: i always assumed those things are just pure astroturf grown out of a misguided attempt to "be online' of various corps.
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk you know you might be the first guy of your kind i ever met. so, you're on some isp's forum because... it's your isp ? and i suppose on the mazda forum if/when driving a mazda and so on ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla can there be a page with a list of l2 fingerprints ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: im not signing it. << could you make a csv ? or a json ?
mircea_popescu: jurov i still don't see why you'd process the dump as a myslq
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform their possession is a blessing for whoever's not doing it : costs more than it produces.
asciilifeform: there are quite a few, i think, who are grossly underequipped - intellectually - to actually operate a computer
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, not so. the better comparison is you saying " winblows user walking to pgp is somewhat like a virgin playing pensively with a fat cucumber. she isstill a virgin."
asciilifeform: winblows user walking to pgp is somewhat like a prisoner walking in the direction of the yard gate. he is still in his cell.
mircea_popescu: jurov one problem is... if this were on a webpage what exact use would it be ?
mircea_popescu: was dsa the one we were not using because we suspect it comes with a nsa hole from the get go or am i confusing my sas ?
phillipsjk: The point of a new key is that I am *assuming* the NSA may be ably to crack 1024bit dsa, but I am not sure. I doubt anybody else can do it.
phillipsjk: ben_vulpes, if you miss issuing a new key, you may still want to sign with an expired key to prove you know the secret.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: maslow's thing had 'cooperation'? wat? << it keeps getting revised, it's a bona fide "golf club patter" that thing. always in step with the emotional needs of a new generation.
mircea_popescu: but i've not yet got through the logs far enough to figure wtf the contention is so gimme a minute
mircea_popescu: anyway, presenting it as json is not a bad idea
mircea_popescu: not a great fan of any changes on keys, myself.
jurov: but i now see it's actually a script downloaded by http
mircea_popescu: felipelalli: let me ask you guys another thing <<< when using a broker, you necessarily undertake that risk. the way to not undertake the risk is to have your own account.
kakobrekla: i can give you a different format, seems like you are the first the use the thing.
phillipsjk: I my write-up on the Shaw forums, I included a caution about that.
phillipsjk: asciilifeform, I was running it from a LiveCD. But yes, those captures may be potentially harmful.
asciilifeform: there is no such thing, approximately, as a kitchen with precisely one cockroach.
teward: AFAIK they're all patched, but I haven't watched wireshark upstream like a hawk
asciilifeform: at least, was, a year or so ago.
phillipsjk: Here is a 1.5MB sample of the udp fragment flood I was talking about: http://phillipsjk.ca/images/Jan_28_2015_DDOS_30Mbit_sample.pcap
pete_dushenski: i'll admit, it was a bit odd having all my thoughts in the footnotes... i'm just not sure that this is cleaner to read.
assbot: You can’t have door-to-door shakedowns in defeudalised France. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1zgegas )
nubbins`: cracked open a firmware update image, might be something to this
asciilifeform: 'prove you're not a bot or a c-student'
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: iirc a standard talmud is arranged this way ?
asciilifeform: would need a chassis and power brick?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/02/mips-creator-ci20-released-interesting-though-not-very-useful << for your collection. i own the pre-release version of this thing. it works. but full of oddities. there is a (supposedly) complete data sheet for the chip.

asciilifeform: there also appear to be at least half a dozen compatible products, of similar cost.
mircea_popescu: seems like a sad attempt to pass costs along to contractors.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes kinda like you pick a girlfriend : have your friends recommend someone.
ben_vulpes is a pauper, wouldn't know
ben_vulpes: how does one pick a stock broker?
mircea_popescu: because yeah, totally. that's how it works. you pick "stock brokers" from a list containing stuff like "laundry services" and get a quote
mircea_popescu: i just put a "get online quote" for "stock brokers"
mircea_popescu: more importantly : you should not trade a stock you've not read the reports for.
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: are there a place where I can find the current total shares or just reading the statements?
mircea_popescu: chetty given some users, this would be a net gain.
felipelalli: Let me ask one thing guys about MPEx website: why not the total shared issued is displayed at http://mpex.co/?mpsic=S.QNTR ? Wouldn't it be a useful information? I could find this info on http://trilema.com/2014/qntra-sqntr-october-2014-statement/ but I think it is handy to display on the stock page. Thanks.
nubbins`: will fit a SATA drive inside, altho mine currently only uses thumbdrives for storage
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i'm speaking through a mips/bsd box right now
nubbins`: asciilifeform is linux on MIPS a thing i should bother looking into re: goflex tv?
chetty: <mircea_popescu> this is such a brilliant approach to "user has no control of their computer"//won't be long till the computer controls the user
nubbins`: oh, that's a MIPS processor
mircea_popescu: this is such a brilliant approach to "user has no control of their computer"
mircea_popescu: "combining nspawn (containers) and networkd (dhcp) allows for easier network management of containers. Networkd can also run inside the container. Outside the container networkd can pick a free DHCP IP for that container. Allows v4 to v6 network masquarading automatically. Does not involve dnsmasq, everything is routed via IP on the kernel (no bridging)."
mircea_popescu: "out of bits and pieces nsa had lying around for a decade or so"
asciilifeform: the part of the world where i live is plagued with, among other insects, a type of caterpillar that devours trees wholesale. every spring, gigantic hives (?) - nests with webbing - appear, and when they're full, you can almost see them pulsate, pulsate
mircea_popescu: "networkd: because networking is such a basic function of the OS, he believes it should be in systemd"
nubbins`: i also have a "goflex tv" which might fit the bill.
nubbins`: asciilifeform i have a goflex, it's just a hdd with a cradle
nubbins`: is that not literally just a usb hub with a hdd attachment?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: they have a whole line
nubbins`: i think seagate has a cloud thing but it's $$$
nubbins`: thestringpuller he also stepped out of his comfort zone. guy produced a NIN album!
thestringpuller: nubbins`: dre is a killer producer, but not nearly the same genius as say quincy jones. He made great business bets in comparison to Jay-Z.
mircea_popescu: not to mention out and out idiots a la hess or whatever, goodman.
nubbins`: i thought dre made it because he was a killer producer
nubbins`: A++++++ would wait in line again
thestringpuller: because Jay-Z associates with these people rather than being a true G is why Dr. Dre beat him to the billionaire club.
nubbins`: if there's one thing that would make me permanently switch supermarkets, it'd be a couple of checkout aisles free from gossip mags
thestringpuller: and kanye is a shitty businessman
nubbins`: all of a sudden it's about you?!
mircea_popescu: she is objectively a hot woman, and she understands feminity well enough to behave rationally.
mircea_popescu: anyway, girl's got a great ass. that's an... asset.
nubbins`: a career on redtube, maybe
nubbins`: thestringpuller, if her dad was anyone else, she would not have made a "career" out of a sex tape
trinque: thestringpuller: twas just a joke about the various forms of internet celebrity theater
thestringpuller: "Getting fired from reddit sucks, but the support I've received from the bitcoin community is incredible. Free market social safety net." << "Why work when you can get donations for being a 'victim'."
mthreat: <+mircea_popescu> ... << yeh but how are we to verify! << I actually got pics of me holding up the blockchain iPhone app transaction, in front of the Port Lockroy building with a sign visible!
trinque: my btcd for deedbot has been belching about orphan blocks for a day, ever since it got to about two days ago in the blockchain
mircea_popescu: ideally as a signed blob on the mailing list. "This is block 0000000000000a40136b, reported as invalid so and so"
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: do you ever leave the house << i do have a day job, as i think i mentioned. it doesn't have fixed hours as such, but i'm away from my perch fairly often.
davout: asciilifeform: ah nice, if you have a list i'd be interdasted in looking into it
mircea_popescu: im actually having most courriers drag a bag of the shits on their way.
asciilifeform: and a few others
asciilifeform: jurov, davout: incidentally, 'pogo' is not the only supplier of this kind of thing. 'seagate' has a device with, iirc, identical pcb
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, get me like a dozen, bring em over at conference.
thestringpuller: Do you like golf? that seems like a sport you'd enjoy
davout: mircea_popescu: i'll look a bit harder if i can't find them for cheaper first
mircea_popescu: davout would it make sense to make a large buy in us and ship to eu ?
davout: i tried getting a pogo on amazon, for some retarded reason the price in euros is like 60
mircea_popescu: with a change of curves.
asciilifeform: davout: funnily enough i've a second
assbot: 1 results for 'if you can't stop fucking with it' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=if+you+can%27t+stop+fucking+with+it
asciilifeform: also jurov's zram idea is actually a good one
asciilifeform: i promised folks a working buildroot for that thing
mircea_popescu: you still got a pogo running ?
