asciilifeform: he can do honest work, like this, instead of trying to monkey with my bits.

asciilifeform: syria needs arms.

asciilifeform: good.

asciilifeform: he can beg on the streets if he wants.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd say ~yes~. 'find a revenue model that doesn't rely on armed thugs breaking down my door for copying a fucking number, and i never signed any contracts with this fella'

asciilifeform: n6: nope

asciilifeform: ?

asciilifeform: *an oath

asciilifeform: 'tis one thing if i was given a secret, swore an other. entirely other thing when i find a number scribbled on the sidewalk and decide to scribble it elsewhere

asciilifeform: which as i understand is the perverse concept that somebody gets to bang on my door and demand gold for copying a number

asciilifeform: well somebody mentioned 'copyright'

asciilifeform: except i didn't

asciilifeform: 'click-through oath!!!'

asciilifeform: he wants oath, can fuck himself

asciilifeform: when i buy a piece of shit from a street merchant i ain't taking no oath.

asciilifeform: where the negotiating leverage on one side of the table is nil

asciilifeform: nah. just object to this kind of thing happening in a consumer setting

asciilifeform: sure

asciilifeform: i don't see how it 'is complicated' at all. folks who wanna be paid when i copy a number, get a raging hardon for the state (tm) (r) when it makes noises of promise to make it happen

asciilifeform: http://nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/E2B96D2881D975EFBAD0E79F513301149BFE8AB719467DE0151E839547CA99AC << l0l

asciilifeform: oughta be part of the official ball then

asciilifeform: didja have to use trinque's patch ?

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: i personally regard these as important knobs and their absence from the original bitcoin as an atrocity

asciilifeform: not a waste by any means.

asciilifeform: (see ml for example of me doing so for a chain loaded from mircea_popescu)

asciilifeform: also it is possible to hash a blockchain using dumpblock

asciilifeform: and generally.

asciilifeform: but also for debugging wedge states

asciilifeform: mod6: esp. for standing up nodes

asciilifeform: mod6: i regard them as useful

asciilifeform: it has to be supplied by the operator

asciilifeform: my rotor bundle doesn't come with a stator at all

asciilifeform: (rotor takes a stator)

asciilifeform: mod6: i think you already have this ?

asciilifeform still wonders what that 'cheese' thing would smell like

asciilifeform: i also appreciated. how else would we have learned that i am the last one alive with a sane linux install, for instance.

asciilifeform: why even bother then.

asciilifeform: introducing local turdlets over which you have no meaningful control.

asciilifeform: defeating the very purpose of stator.

asciilifeform: ^ you are using CRUD FROM OUTSIDE THE STATIC BALL

asciilifeform: if your stator did not build before but builds after running the above, IT IS NOT STATIC !!!

asciilifeform: stator doesn't need them either !

asciilifeform: HAVING THEM ON YOUR BOX IS USELESS AT BEST!

asciilifeform: neither stator nor rotor needs these!

asciilifeform: why?

asciilifeform: ^ for fucks sake

asciilifeform: apt-get install -y zlib1g-dev

asciilifeform: apt-get install -y libbz2-dev

asciilifeform: apt-get install -y libboost-python-dev

asciilifeform: start the recipe and prod me when you hit a stumble.

asciilifeform: if you can get a bash prompt, you oughta get a working build.

asciilifeform: and go from there

asciilifeform: pick just about any linux box

asciilifeform: no need to reinstall os

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: if you're up to it, try building, i'll walk you through it while i'm awake

asciilifeform: i STILL don't understand why just about everybody insists on building stator. ☟︎

asciilifeform: and use that binary for the rest of your life if you like.

asciilifeform: rotor differs in that it is enough for you to find ~one~ box where it can be made to go

asciilifeform: and each of those will need seven workarounds to be forced with red hot irons to behave in FUCKING STANDARD WAY

asciilifeform: but seven other people will come and each one will bring seven idiocies from his local os

asciilifeform: yes, i could sit down and debug this

asciilifeform: the reason being that this is a waste of life

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i wrote rotor for a reason

asciilifeform: and your buildscript

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: post your makefile plz

asciilifeform: 1) therealbitcoin does not use zlib 2) therealbitcoin does not use dl*

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: what the hell did you build, and on what

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-08-2015#1231334 << this is still sop. nobody cancelled it any more than anyone cancelled gravity. ☝︎

asciilifeform: fella checks his mail once a month..

asciilifeform: al schwartz woke up

asciilifeform: meanwhile,

asciilifeform: no.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: never seen it before ?

asciilifeform: lsof

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: y'know it's ok to kill -9 it ~AFTER~ it lets go of db

asciilifeform: lel

asciilifeform: dulap is getting reactor rods swapped

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: might wanna switch to zoolag for a spell, if too slow

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: not in the phenomenon discussed earlier

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: nyc didn't look detectably different to naked eye

asciilifeform was brain-melted when visiting the distant lands where gurlz look like people, in apr. '14 and '15

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al: phuctor reactor refueling now !

asciilifeform: ^ absolute iron SOP in usa

asciilifeform: what's it mean to 'read selectively' ?

asciilifeform has several colleagues who didn't finish school, they put the time to good use

asciilifeform: n6: what did you do with the time you won ?

asciilifeform: 'here, have a magnetized needle'

asciilifeform: schools have grade for a reason?

asciilifeform has nothing against n00bz, but has the distinct feeling of watching primary school pupils banging on the door of a university maths dept for help with arithmetic homework.

asciilifeform: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/04/truecrypt_decrypted_by_fbi << lulz

asciilifeform: use its xorg, userland, etc

asciilifeform: even if using 'rotor', you still gotta live in that linux.

asciilifeform: and iterates through partial X-es
