mike_c: well, scripts are fine for semi-fancy. if i'm going to learn something new i'd rather it be something i want to know going forward. which i think would be ansible over chef/puppet.
fluffypony: kinda like how I spent 2 days getting exim4 perfectly setup as an mta for outbound mail when sendmail would be fine
fluffypony: ansible is awesome, but I found it over-engineered for the relatively simple stuff I need
mike_c: that's what i have done in the past (largely with fabric). thought maybe i'd get fancy.
mike_c: curious if you had any experience with it. i am considering trying it out.
benkay: mike_c: not that one in particular, but i'm pretty well versed in configuration mgmt at large. why do you ask?
pankkake: I used to have custom funny referers for friends' sites
pankkake: since I block referer by default, had no choice
pankkake: it werks with https://i.imgur.com/JLzPzsd.png
mircea_popescu: well it was quite the ride. i wondere how much of it is due to bitpay's largest ipo ever.
fluffypony: kakobrekla: am I imagining it or is assbot turning @ into / in tweets?
mircea_popescu: i know, but jus' sayin'. it's a signal, but whatg's in a signal. whatsapp selling for 20bn is also a signal.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I have nfi, I was just asking
fluffypony: pankkake: I meant that the guys that bet early take the biggest risk
pankkake: hm not sure I understood the question

Shakespeare: i'm at a coffee shop, in the city
Shakespeare: you think i'm some kinda hacker or something?
Shakespeare: so i dont care to auth in this locale
Shakespeare: i have to use webchat
fluffypony: davout: I should've shut my big fat drunk mouth last night
Shakespeare: I caught up on the log on the plane
benkay: how do i get all the packages i plan to compile from source on my spankin' new bsd box to my next one?
benkay: i came up in computers in the 'configuration management' epoch, where everyone i knew and everyone i worked with was using some sort of software to manage the state of machines virtual or real metal in some datacenter somewhere.
moiety: i only just learned that myself, while reading the openbsd wikipage. totally epic of him.
agorecki: I don't think the channel was voice-to-speak only at the time, though
agorecki: benkay: I heard about this channel after mircea saved TrustedBSD, and came here to lurk and see what I could learn
mircea_popescu: i don't see it.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't trust the uk to anything. it's basically the political equivalent of nevada. an uninhabited wasteland where you test nukes.
assbot: Glenn Greenwald: 'I don't trust the UK not to arrest me. Their behaviour has been extreme' | World news | The Guardian
fluffypony: although to be honest, if I'd discovered it in 2010 I don't think I would've had the knowledge and maturity to appreciate what I'd found
fluffypony: I can honestly say that I would not come back if I were her
davout: i think it would be a temp ban if she actually wanted to come back
fluffypony: I thought it was only a temp ban tho?
davout: i mean, after all, these scams serve the purpose of educating noobs by pain to a certain extent
fluffypony: I think chetty has it right
mircea_popescu: "If you don't believe you can always use Anon escrow service. I think NFD-Coin is doing a good job with this IPO. but its better to pay a small escrow fee and be safe than sorry in my opinion."
fluffypony: I remember when scammers used to fake having an ASIC
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: that's what I figured
fluffypony: jurov: I still can't understand what that means
mircea_popescu: i tell you, the forum is headed to this fucktards and spam scripts bright future
fluffypony: can I buy him something online with Bitcoin?
davout: seriously, send BingoBoingo a bottle of something and invite dotcoin back, i have a stock of popcorn
davout: fluffypony: i'm excited about the bitcoin-central ticker IPO on bourse too
davout: mircea_popescu: i'll bring you a box of "mon chéri" next time
mircea_popescu: i'm on my 198th chocolate truffle with a rum center.
fluffypony: I have to break my brain to conform to that, it's worse than trying to talk like Yoda
mircea_popescu: we laugh, but i've had the occasion to see first hand people who, on account of all the time they spend devoid of human contact, actually speak like that.
mircea_popescu: i'm kinda rooting for Derp, the most fast and largest biggest secure herpurrency in the world.
mircea_popescu: no sorry i mean the biggest cryptocurrency
jurov: i'm not using it anyway
mircea_popescu: jurov tbh the locking acct feature is a leftover that i'd rather take out than expand
mircea_popescu: jurov afaik no, but i'll have this dblckeched
davout: i'm not sure, when the account is locked can i cancel orders ? i seem to recall that the answer is no, amirite?
davout: so i'll just post orders up to (BTC balance - 1 satoshi) for bids
davout: but i was under the impression you'd consider removing this feature if nobody was using it
davout: the answer to this question is "i want to use whatever resources are available to populate the X.EUR order book"
mircea_popescu: "is it really desirable that i don't actually calculate what i want to buy before i place an order ?"
davout: mircea_popescu: sure, i could add a check, but imo a RAND() quantity would count as unspecified, not a X where X may or may not be larger than my available cash
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: one of many things I don't need to worry about and jurov does :)
jurov: i'm just in trollish mood
mircea_popescu: jurov i think that's more a matter of, whether you buy or sell, you buy or sel la number of shares, not a qty of cash.
davout: so i'm asking, is anyone with a mpex account relying on this functionality for anything?
mircea_popescu: actually i take that back. she's cute.
mircea_popescu: and obv i mean the noob thaty highlighted me, not the cultural referewnce
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: lol i had that phase too. it passes
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: aaaand now I want to buy a Tesla. thanks.
davout: can't remember, if i was watching it with her it was prolly in french
davout: i fucking love mary poppins
danielpbarron: fluffypony, that's what I assumed; I guess it'll always be like that for me (I haven't looked at that site in weeks i think)
fluffypony: if it was a friend I would be all for banning them :-P
davout: fluffypony: if your friend has less than 50 posts i can ban him, that'll solve his problem, in some way
danielpbarron: fluffypony, I get that all the time; it also won't let me update my trust ratings when that happens
fluffypony: but I figured you'd know more than I, I've exhausted my help for the guy
fluffypony: davout I know
davout: fluffypony: you seem to be mistaken about my role on btctalk, i'm merely a glorified janitor for the french section
chetty: danielpbarron, I don't tweet much, but I do retweet
danielpbarron: thestringpuller, am I following you?
thestringpuller: i just like to rant and rave like a fouled mouth american who is going senile
danielpbarron: chetty, nm; I think i figured out who you are. (adding you to my bitcoin-assets twitter list)
danielpbarron: i retweeted that one; interesting how that pops up right after shipping equipment was discussed in here
mike_c: i think a couple hundred btc worth went this period, and next period should be better.
mike_c: not financially. i prefer to bet on diff with IDIFF.
thestringpuller: mike_c: is it okay if I comment on your article with more maths about betting boths sides of bitbet?
thestringpuller: i thought prediction markets were just toys
mike_c: also, i think X.IDIFF.SEP is going to be fun. put in some early bids/asks and get a good price.
mircea_popescu: i think he's trying to get hired.
danielpbarron: yeh, hrm; I hopefully won't need it for long: I'm really eager to get my hands on a cardano
mircea_popescu: who's to know at this point. i'd have trouble trusting either
danielpbarron: or should I stick to getting stuff only directly from manufacturers
danielpbarron: is it safe to buy equipment on ebay that I intend to use for crypto?
kdomanski: I think you just solved the mystery of my procrastination in the face of the necessity to write my thesis -.-'
kdomanski: pankkake: I love the blog
mircea_popescu: darkwallet being the thing taaki's currently hanging on to or am i confusing them
danielpbarron: I plugged this channel in there, and I guess he's interested
