mircea_popescu: if a car doesn't go offrail
there one of
these days, argentina is outside normal physics.
mircea_popescu: ah,
those. i went on
the light rail here, it was a spicy adventure. i don't
think
they EVER maintain
the
tracks. solid 10 minutes of screeching.
ben_vulpes: hey i found a slut on
the
train
to pycon one year!
mircea_popescu: last
time i was actually on a
train-train i bought out
the sleeping car and had
the girls naked and rubbing before it rolled out of
the station.
ben_vulpes: i do low-intensity email and various other
tasks
that don't call for focus on
the
train
mircea_popescu: otherwise wtf... so you get hard and... oh shit i didn't plan
this far ahead... uhmmm... i guess fuck
this here keyhole.
ben_vulpes: excellent little device for erotica on
the
train "or so i hear"
ben_vulpes: every release past
the first if i recall correctly. second you could buy an ad-free version, but...
ben_vulpes: i know a gent who is cursed with one of
the later, more expensive models and he keeps it in a piece of leather
to hide
the ads.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: i am fond of
the device. it has a slow, but acceptable resolution screen for reading old
texts of middling ocr quality, fits in jeans pocket. most importantly and differentiating it from later models, it shows no ads.
mircea_popescu: learn
this one amazing
trick a portland dad discovered
that apple doesn't want you
to know.
ben_vulpes: and in yet other "you don't own
this device" news, my v1 kindle does
this amazing
trick when i email it .mobi files where it briefly displays
them and
then immediately removes
them
ben_vulpes: at least we finally routed around
the procurement process...
ben_vulpes: in other radiation damage, $client calls up, "hey latest chrome doesn't work with $app from inside
the muni vpn" "...can you swing a vpn or shall i get on a plane?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why not guess
the same but
the other way ? "i never made a budget in a public institution, but if i had i'd know you always overprovision so
the '''watchdogs''' can cut something and feel useful. i guess flynn was
that."
trinque: no shit huh? now
they know how
to meathooks
mircea_popescu: us president stated on
the record
that us federal judge is inept and not
to be
taken seriously.
mircea_popescu: and if you're going
to count flynn,
then "some judge" is worth about what, 72 points and
three superbowl nipples ?
mircea_popescu: get out of here with
this dumb shit, you're
the equivalent of
the prison bitch who "prison bitch : 1 ; prison system : 0" because asshole already loose anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude
that is like
the most inept scoring i ever saw. for one
thing,
trump scored like 500
touchdowns. for
the other, srsly flynn is half a point.
trinque: no denying flynn was a "rein in
teh shadow state" guy, and got popped
BingoBoingo: This year's superbowl was rare good game, and
Trump/Brady won in
the end
mircea_popescu: anyway. certainly not "next".
they've been whining about him since day one, he'd have been 1st, 2nd and 100th, if only could. but
the noise is soundly muted out of apparent desperation.
mircea_popescu: let's not overstate flynn lel. bannon's
teh vizier. so far he outranks cia on
the nsc.
BingoBoingo: Still power rangers don't get
to add faggy pinky stuff
to node handshake.
BingoBoingo: Coding patch
to simply say "no"
to compact blocks and restore
TRB/PRB communion would likely be
trivial, BUT setting
that precedent is impossibru
jhvh1: 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing
to make amends
to
them all.
BingoBoingo: Seriously fucking cultural marxism was
THE soviet wunderwaffen. Putin is doing
the world a service by
trying
to disarm it.
BingoBoingo enjoys
the plot of every
Tom Clancy novel playing out in role reversed fashion. Brave russians help patriotic Americans save nation from decades old KGB plot.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> also note
that if you built with malleus patch, you will be kickbanning prb peers as soon as
they disgorge a prbism of any kind (e.g., 'bloom filter' command) << Bloom isn't what disconnects most PRB nowadays. It is "BIP 151 compact blocks".
mod6: yup, i should add
that I am running with malleus.
mod6: my
test node gets bh'd all
the
time, still responds
to rpc commands. i
typically do
the samething, stop. wait a bit, restart.
mod6: shinohai: hey,
thanks!
mircea_popescu: i suspect one willing
to live a monk's year with
this might end up with a handful of servers inside ft meade in his hands.
trinque: and
to look at
those alongside your log
trinque: might be interesting
to collect some wireshark packets while
this is going on.
hanbot: i assumed
that entailed eventual unblackholing. granted i haven't had
the patience
to wait more
than a day
to see.
hanbot: what's
the proper name
to ascribe
to
this super fun phenomenon wherein
trb node happily catches up on blocks until 99.x% and
then drops connections and stops seeing new blocks after <10mins?
☟︎ trinque: legalize flying cars fuck yes, about
time
mircea_popescu: the only way a pie in
the sky can even be eaten in
the first place is
this.
mircea_popescu: "it was supposed
to be my pie in
the sky and now you're eating it!"
mircea_popescu: the same dynamic repeats, yes,
the dorky kids who
took programming class hate
the jocky kids who
took fast and furious on
tv.
mircea_popescu: in between sucking
their cock for coke bumps,
there's nothing
the ironic cumrags from wellesley agree more heartedly about
than how lame business majors are.
mircea_popescu: so yes, it's a class warfare
thing.
two heads of
the aspirational hydra - one
that aspires
through "stem" and
the other
that aspires
through "business".
mircea_popescu: similarily,
the "invading mexican" is
the son of a woman who moved
there in
the 50s barefoot and married
the police chief.
mircea_popescu: this is entirely correct, "black
thug" is generally
the neglected son of a respectable black accountant with an earned college degree.
mircea_popescu: lafond makes a great point at some point,
that "violence" in
the millitant style
the us represents it as is principally a product of
the second sons of a favoured class.
mircea_popescu: i would offer it as a fact
that
there's more people within
the contiguous 51 states (bahamas addedone, what!) on whom
the irs dun work
than
there's webdevelopers.
trinque: asciilifeform:
there are people you've never seen in your life
trinque: waco
to letting 'em walk in
two decades
trinque: aside
the guy
they shot, and iirc it was *one* guy
that died
trinque: didn't
the oregon militia people get off anyway?
mircea_popescu: go
to bucharest,
talk
to
the guy depicted. no irs in
those gutters.
