asciilifeform: kakobrekla: if the item i am presently working on is not easily provable honest to an educated reader, then i will deserve to be placed on the list.
asciilifeform: bounce: i posit that it must be presumed intentional. the shitgnomes hide behind the impossibility of logically proving their guilt.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: notice i said 'arse grenade' not 'cyanide tooth.'
decimation: I nominate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennart_Poettering
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah that appears to be the situation. I don't understand how a gui desktop 'requires' a particular init system
BingoBoingo: I might have to read 'Wasp'
decimation: in retrospect I should have installed hardened/minimal
decimation: no I installed 'kde' profile
decimation: asciilifeform: so I tried to install gentoo in a vm last night, was disappointed that it wanted me to install systemd. apparently one should install 'minimal' and then bootstrap software stack
bounce: I suspect an expert would gather a few good trackers and catch the guy in a week with ~30 people or so.
TheNewDeal: So on bitbet, I know if you send a tx to an address for an open bet, the address is reserved for you for the entirety of the bet. But is the addr supposed to hold the btc until the bet closes, or no?
asciilifeform: u.s. army snipers have been known to wear them, now that i recall.
mats_cd03: i wonder if hes enjoying himself
mats_cd03: i'll be your friend. :)
bounce: tablet-optimised layouts, how I loathe thee
kakobrekla: not all dns records were updated yet but i put that on anyway so it looks like its not my fault
ADutchGamer: I'm trying to catch up but all they show is flush dns
mats_cd03: not mine, but i'm told its unreliable.
mats_cd03: i have felt the compulsion to reproduce its features on occasion
mats_cd03: i find myself wishing there was an assbot in every chan i idle in
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: neato. now one of these days i actually write the turdifesto to go with these.
bounce: oh I don't mind them going the way of the dodo. the thing was rather moriarty was rationalising their existence as "best possible (evar)", which I disagreed with
mircea_popescu: possibly. what'd i miss ?
bounce: uhm. I think you misread the context of the comment then.
bounce: hmno, I don't think rigging the system is a good long-term strategy. it shouldn't be necessary, and if you think it is, you're venturing into empire territory.
xmj: some fucktard I ignore and haven't dealt with gave me a -1 rating
mircea_popescu: but hey, props for trolling bounce into a frenzy, i never saw him talk this much b4
mircea_popescu: decimation: I don't get the jews. why do they care about jews? They are just a small subset of europeans among the unwashed masses of europeans <<< you should learn yidish to see the things some jews think about some other jews.
pete_dushenski: i nominate mp for noah.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: hm quite. i guess i misunderstood what "signed by nvidia" meant.
kakobrekla: (first day i had it, it flew about 3m vertically on a concrete floor) ☟︎
kakobrekla: i also got the insides, but thats the point.
kakobrekla: you might not hammer a nail with your microscope but i do it with my phone.
asciilifeform: 'doctor, it hurts when i do that.' - 'don't do that.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i must disagree exactly '180 degrees' about rms. he in fact did do a 'gotta' species of forced mistake. specifically, chose to accept eternal unix-clone retardation as gospel, because no alternative (in his mind, at the time)
chetty: was it? from his point of view, at the time? I have trouble trying to imagine some of the early stabs at tech
mircea_popescu: obviously i can appreciate your position : for all the banality of sex, it's still a big deal to the virgin.
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, rms was defeated in his original life. and ended up performing almost the equivalent of a seppuku - had to retool and rescue some very small thing that could be salvaged, and turned it into another life.
asciilifeform: though, i've been told that even actual enlistment is now open to folks of fairly advanced age and shoddy physical condition, with the proviso that you will 'fly a desk'
asciilifeform: chetty: i was speaking more generally of employment with usg rather than proper soldiering as such
chetty: last I heard military in ussa wasnt aking all comers
mircea_popescu: decimation: usg is the unintentional beneficiary of a great deal of "I want to make a difference" altruism << so no, it's not altruism. unrelated to that, there's a lot of "usg is the only obvious recipient for a bunch of faking of the <i want to not have sex but for everyone in school to think i do> sort."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the u.s. army installation i once worked in had the biggest, fattest herds of deer i've ever seen in person...
mircea_popescu: decimation: what I find inexplicable is that you find folks in the us who absolutely hate everything about usg policies, in terms of how it mismanages wealth, fails to jail criminals, etc, and yet are willing to serve the military side <<< similarly, the wild animals that hate everything about the government will still traipse around on "government property"
kakobrekla: i plan to put some stuff there myself, such as log dump etc
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: neat. but i was hoping for individual turdlets that i could link to.
daybyter: I use HyperSQL...
thestringpuller: i cant get sql lite data into postgresql
gribble: What do you think I am, a shell?
ben_vulpes: <MolokoDesk> i may use SQLite instead of mySQL eventuall. << try postgres if ye've yet to. nicely done db.
asciilifeform: (given that i don't have a proper rant written yet to go with it, above will have to do for now)
mircea_popescu: no i know that part
mircea_popescu: i was like "let others hit it first ill go later to not herdkil the server"
mircea_popescu: i have that queasy feeling i musta missed something
asciilifeform: before even i forget - kakobrekla, mircea_popescu - where's my lenat turd mirror ?
mircea_popescu: i'm a multifarian.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am notorious for taking more than one pass through the material to grok it, more than one set of lips on the tool to spill it etc.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell MolokoDesk anyway, the ideal here is to have everything in order to i can put the various sept reports on it.
mircea_popescu: why am i even reading this crap, jpg "signatures" and no comment section for crying out loud.
mircea_popescu: "If the country can continue operating as smoothly as it does for another year, I'll be surprised." << you can tell casey research his bet is on.
mircea_popescu: now i gotta play this thing
MolokoDesk: ok. I'm out for the day.
MolokoDesk: also I'd be setting up binary buffers and cryptosigning them and all that. it's a chore.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk nah i don't think it's all that desirable. ideally no dependencies etc.
MolokoDesk: I have fallback capability in the bot but it's not active. I can track with two different website APIs. there's only one wallet, but more can be added.
MolokoDesk: electrum is the gold standard for this sort of thing (pun intended) but that's a serious dev/admin/maintenance thing on this end. If I had electrum RPC already at the start of this I may have done it that way. it's still on the desirable things to do list.
MolokoDesk: oh, are you going to register deedBot with WoT or should I do that or, leave it indeterminate. I can export the keys and give you a copy.
MolokoDesk: well, unless we can break it some more today... I can get on this. I've been up rather a while today.
MolokoDesk: I think starting from last deed bot would load things down some, doable, but deeds may only be coming in every 6 hours.
MolokoDesk: ok. I need to tighten a few things up in deedBot. It's possible that's going to run into October.
MolokoDesk: sure. I was considering looking for block height increments of more than 1 and then scanning back. alternatively, scan backwards to the first block with a date before the incoming file creation date.
MolokoDesk: I may have to track back to detect block inclusion in that case.
mircea_popescu: so if anyone knows anything about growing cactuses, get back to me. i got a tiny something, which i believe is armatocereus godingianus. he seems happy enough and is growing, but the shoots are all spindly. ie, the base like 6 strands each an inch thick, each shot this inch long, 1/8th of an inch wide things.
punkman: I suspected "smooth" as the most common adjective in ratings
MolokoDesk: queue is more robust against various other collision events. I intend to queue incomings.
MolokoDesk: so I already have to pace and sequence the request to gribble.
MolokoDesk: yeah, I wasn't going to suggest any mods to gribble even if nanotube would do them because everyone else's stuff would stop working.
mircea_popescu: i can appeal it but i'd rather not if it's not absolutely necessary.
MolokoDesk: there's no appeal against that. I'll have to pace requests by any of various methods.
MolokoDesk: I'm retaining the microsecond timestamps of gribble requests and their fulfillment so... I can implement a timeout reset if gribble dies.
MolokoDesk: I'll look to see what's in the queue
MolokoDesk: it makes sure I'm really computing the hash address properly. If I verify that myself, and I'm making a mistake, I'll just be making the same mistake in the verifier.
chetty: I learn slow, but I learn
chetty: .deed http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=yYbT4Tiu
punkman: but I'll write a verifier for the deeds
chetty: .deed http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=5hjTV4yg
mircea_popescu: chetty http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=5hjTV4yg << use that url
mircea_popescu: i have been derping for long enough about how reform in the modern state shoudl consist of a fixed number of characters for all laws, and if you want a new one must erase an old one.
MolokoDesk: oh yes I am. I have to hash the file to make the bitcoin address.
MolokoDesk: oh wait, I'm not doing it that way.
MolokoDesk: I'll make it indiscriminate and see how that goes.
kakobrekla: .deed http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=d4u0BXQU
MolokoDesk: or I can spell loosen correctly.
MolokoDesk: it's only pastebin right now. I can loosten that contraint.
kakobrekla: .deed http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=d2gP5rh8
MolokoDesk: I had considered validating all the signatures.
MolokoDesk: if a bunch of people have cryposigned it. I'm counting the signatures.
dignork: .deed http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=wEfSrr2E
punkman: mircea_popescu: I posted a deed earlier, http://www.postalrocket.com/DEEDS/
kakobrekla: i use what mp wrote iirc
