pete_dushenski: a la hearn
pete_dushenski: or like a race horse with the heart of a giant gerbil
pete_dushenski: litecoin is like a tesla with a gas engine really
asciilifeform: cazalla: knocked off but replaced a fairly sensitive part.
asciilifeform: i once suggested, semi-seriously, a proofofworkfunktion based on cellular automata
asciilifeform: for those who weren't tuned in a year ago,
asciilifeform: or at least, died a less pathetic death
mats: hm, bitbet has graduated to being a sextuple reverse fractional reserve if my computation is correct
assbot: 1 results for 'lifecoin' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=lifecoin
asciilifeform: it is interesting to contemplate why no one (afaik) suggested a third workfunction
danielpbarron: i've seen a few "just sold all my BTC for Litecoin because MP is mean" posts
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Cazalla's text. But... certain people who birthed it still promote it as an alternative that still solves a problem.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: equating 'litecoin' with other sc4mc01nz is a mistake. it was a genuine, if misguided, attempt at something genuinely else
decimation: asciilifeform: do you have a source for little wires with single pin 'female header' connectors?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: davout no, roast as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y53JLJDOEvE << watching this now. it's a riot!
decimation: suddenly everyone who could use windows was a 'computer expert', so people who used computers to compute became 'dinosaurs' or 'weird'
decimation: actually this is a perfect example of how 'drowning in idiots' can ruin an industry
decimation: yes, warez vendors targeted solaris as a platform, like cadence, adobe, etc
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> decimation: actually, sun corp. endured for a while << Sun alway though lacked the introspection necessary to realize things like... A bench might be a better place to assemble machines than the floor.
asciilifeform: decimation: actually, sun corp. endured for a while
decimation: asciilifeform: that's probably a good explanation for why high-end engineering software comes only on winblows
asciilifeform: playing for a captive audience makes people, organizations, retarded
danielpbarron: i was just wondering if a random tails user was aware of that sort of thing, or if they just downloaded it because freetalklive mentioned it
onewhosits: danielpbarron. No, actually i didn't. Should've. Is there a common problem with modified tailos installs?
BingoBoingo: onewhosits: More just some vandal has a bot that lurks and DoS's connections as it seens them join. Cloak should be enough to defeat that. To connect with Tor you'd need a cloak anyway.
BingoBoingo: onewhosits: Another important step is getting a cloak and moving off of webchat cloak
asciilifeform: if all you need is something that will decode, e.g., spi, at a few 100 kHz, get the ubiquitous 'bus pirate'
asciilifeform: and is that a closed-source turd i see.
asciilifeform: (author shat out a steaming java heap)
mats: asciilifeform: any recommendations for a logic analyzer? preferably something sub $1k
mircea_popescu: i hope they had a new york clause in their contract, and griesa gets to judge it
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, that just makes him a shoulder
danielpbarron: it's not a failure if you planned for it
danielpbarron: "what's your business plan?" "to go out of business in a few years"

assbot: Logged on 30-01-2015 21:27:59; kakobrekla: i know changing names is not a good practice, but perhaps for the sake of sync we could allow to update your name once (given properly signed request from adequate gpg key)
teward: and since the nick i auth up as in otc was taken, there's a problem
teward: can't auth as a nick that was stolen from me
teward: BingoBoingo: if that's a new thing, then the webpage needs updated
asciilifeform: ^ linus understood that language is a people-filter, just like gpg etc
teward: BingoBoingo: sounds like I need to rape freenode with a stick again
asciilifeform: 'In other words: the choice of C is the only sane choice. I know Miles Bader jokingly said "to piss you off", but it's actually true. I've come to the conclusion that any programmer that would prefer the project to be in C++ over C is likely a programmer that I really *would* prefer to piss off, so that he doesn't come and screw up any project I'm involved with.'
Guest18566: this is a problem
teward: [15/01/31 19:56:12] <assbot> You need a better WoT rating for self-up. (level 2 with assbot >0)

teward: assuming the bot actually checks ident of a user
gribble: Error: "kittenlasers" is not a valid command.
asciilifeform believed, at one point, that the existence of braindamaged programming languages is not a total evil, as they draw mentally defective folks away from actual programming. but, after reading, e.g., the work of the 'power rangers', - is not so sure.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, what i don't get is that on reddit, you see the idea of a paywall and microtransactions always discussed as bitcoin's killer app and yet when they come across it being implemented, they cry scam
asciilifeform: (the latter have rs232 logic levels. will cook a gadget that expects 0/5v)
danielpbarron: luckily, i know a guy
asciilifeform: also that thing's running on a titanic x86 box
asciilifeform: anyone who wants to try bastard, can make a temporary copy of tree merged up to 5.3.1 and apply the skull'n'crossbone patch.
mircea_popescu: "all internet security is a slow, half-assed, dubious reimplementation of gossipd. pity gossipd itself doesn't exist yet."
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: 0.9.0.3... ...i thought this would be a good training wheels program before tackling 0.5.3 << the recent turdballs are considerably gnarlier than 0.5.3, and have rather peculiar behaviours of their own. avoid.
danielpbarron: nope; i'm making a gentoo bootable flashdrive now
mats: Sounds suspiciously like he was wearing the piece 'like a gangsta' and sweat into the damn weapon.
mats: >Hernandez's DNA also was found on a .45-caliber shell casing found in a car he had rented.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If it can't the exercise would reveal a lower bound to target.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo appreciates ... serious effort to make a 128 MB pogoplug is seriously iterating in a productive << it has yet to be established for certain that this thing can be a reasonable node
asciilifeform: go can be statically compiled can it not << it has a runtime.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, well yeah, missus does a spider check in the kid's play pen each morning.. found 2 spiders to date ☟︎
punkman: cazalla, hard to do macro from a distance
cazalla: quite a few mantis around after carrot fly too
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/extruziune.jpg << this was made freehand with a potato.
cazalla: i've got a nikon, cheaper d3100
mats: i've thought about doing summaries for a while, but i've been preempted
cazalla: umm, not even hobbyist photos really.. punkman i want to get a macro lense for taking photos of the bugs and insects that inhabit my garden.. the mantis comment above just reminded me
mircea_popescu: "My understanding is a lot of heavily weighted entities in the ecosystem already support Gavin's proposed course."
assbot: Praying Mantis Makes Meal of a Hummingbird | Bird Watcher's Digest ... ( http://bit.ly/1BGMMIi )
mircea_popescu: funny how this wasn't a consideration before, because "unanimous."
mircea_popescu: "A sampling of 30% of average forum users isn't the same as 30% of the community, and certainly not the ecosystem. In reality individual users and organizations carry different weight. At the end of the day people who believe in Bitcoin (and invest their money into it) will do what they can to protect that value. The fork which has the most economic value will be the one most likely to survive with confidence of those
BingoBoingo: davout: Shock site. Basically subject.thatdomain opens a cascade of eye rape and screaming. The popups induce more panic than the classic "pain series"
BingoBoingo: davout: Well google was more the catalyst for doing it now. That and having picked up a Smatr PNohe to actually test on.
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2015 04:59:10; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a chunk of pine bark
davout: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-01-2015#999675 <<< not that there is such a thing as 'american cheese', slightly less poisonous plastic maybe ☝︎
assbot: A summary of the logs ... ( http://bit.ly/1vmkTbR )
davout: danielpbarron cazalla Apocalyptic the railzand guy not only has locked the fork off topic but seems to have started a #b-a log digest bitcointalk thread
mod6: haha. imagine a good law.
mod6: wait... does this mean a roast of meat? or of personalities?
ben_vulpes: so is it a round robin roastage? everyone roasts in turn?
mircea_popescu: go out all over portland and date until you find a funny woman.
cjc: During the articles critical of G.A., the above page was linked to... along the way, I discovered this channel.

BingoBoingo: lol I'm a bot again!
cjc: How does BingoBoingo work, am I grand a 30 minute one time voice in the channel and then able to simply lurk?
mircea_popescu: there was recently a problem with a nsa infiltration that's still being "investigated".
cjc: I do not believe there would be a problem soliciting donations from users who find this the place to host their projects and to meet and talk with others about the same.
cjc: Frankly, Freenode would be akin to one of the last standing freenets of the early 90s. If there was ever a problem with regard to insufficient support for the network monetarily --
cjc: We now find many more casual users with a "multi-chat" Facebook type desire to use the network.
cjc: mircea_popescu, The node I connect to in Chicago has been down inconveniently quite a bit in 2014, morgan.freenode.net. My observation of #freenode staffer availability in the past two months has been it is hit or miss for new users requesting cloaks and such.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo that is actually the theory i've "come up with" myself. << I've accepted that the American conditioning to remove all the flavors if it isn't explicitly done to cultivate stupid, continues with stupid accepted as a positive side effect.
mircea_popescu: cjc since you've apparently been around for a while : any merit to teh rumous of freenode slowly going to shit ?
cjc: I've also nabbed the first/last initials as a nick and grouped them too.
