gabriel_laddel: Framedragger: the infrastructure needed is somewhere to put them though. I have machines sitting in stanford's graphics lab (cameras everywhere) that will eventually host the IRC channel, but have nowhere to put them that isn't USG.NSA.YC.
jurov: you say it helps usg, how's that not being upset?
mircea_popescu: yes, i am saying that by keeping accounts you are empowering usg.
jurov: you are saying that by keeping accounts i empower usg or something?
mircea_popescu: and it disables who, usg ? not the other way around ? becauyse why, it's not seen happening (especially if you carefully don't look) ?
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/QGLqL << in other lulz, usg firing squads for... dogs - continue
mircea_popescu: lmao at usg complete unravel. kirby of state dept makes claims in public. op asks for details. kirby responds by claiming that he didn't make the claims he made and that "they've seen" "credible" reports from "aid organisations". which terms mean as follows "they've seen" = "some starving intern at random mfa blog pulled from ass" "credible" = "saddam wmd" and "aid organisations" = "hillary's friends children trafficing netwo
deedbot: asciilifeform rated the_scourge -2 at 2015/02/03 12:44:20 << dear usg, please send better clowns; the cheap ones are growing tiresome.
mircea_popescu: ejector runs you about half what the plane did lol. for some reason usg is fixated on them
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/dFQMj << also hilarious re promisetronix. 'usg.adobe now sells luser-friendly voice-faking proggy, but dun worry, if it doesn't have the USG FAKED VOICE WATERMARK, IT IS GENUINE!111111 voice'
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i have no time to read usg-ian cya documentations.
asciilifeform: possibly this is biggest thermonuke of usg idiot ops in recentl history.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: "force farmers to plan crops" << plant ? not sure that sucking usg.dole teet qualifies as planning.
asciilifeform: eh even usg's db is what, 300M ?
asciilifeform: i.e. usg.dns but with new arse(s) in throne ?
asciilifeform: y'know, usg.dns queries outsourced to archive.is box is still dns..
asciilifeform: trinque: there is 'nexus of hierarchy' where we, e.g., study writings of mircea_popescu because they make sense and worth respect. and there is the other kind of hierarchy, where prb makes dns query using usg.glibc and internic root server is hardbaked into the code.
asciilifeform: if it looks like usg dns, you have lost. definitionally.
mircea_popescu: they built usg in not for any reason than because they WERE usg. postel's "oh noes - otherwise CHAOS" is exactly symptomatic. just like the arab mind can't quite comprehend how one who doesn't give a shit about allah may manage to drink from a cup, just so usgtards can't comprehend how one who isn't a socialist can at all live.
ben_vulpes: i suspect that i knocked their local usg rep into 'tilt mode' last night
mircea_popescu: hey. true social mobility ; as opposed to the factitious sort the usg promotes.
mircea_popescu: there mayn't be a THE dns register ; and nobody asked the usg anything.
mircea_popescu: point remains there is ABSOLUTELY no reason usg may maintain "the" dns register.
pete_dushenski: in other news, usg doesn't want to call michigan for trump or what ? final tally will be 306-228.
mircea_popescu: ie, declare usg impotent and act accordingly. "oh, they'll shut you down" "whatever, i'll open another".
mircea_popescu: also entirely bush-usg thing. has nothing to do with anything but the insanity.
asciilifeform: hey it's a handy 'who's who', in much the same way as one learns, working in usg laboratory dungeons for years, to tell all of the east asian folk apart from across hallway before even hello.
mircea_popescu: holy shit the insane pretzel logic of the progressive mind. so "voter suppression" is bad mmkay except how dare people show up to vote who don't live on "university" campuses or in other usg-aggitated ghettos! "demography is destiny" except of course when it ... "shouldn't be" ? voter opinion is sacrosanct and fundamentally true and good, except of course should it diverge from progressive idiocy. the electoral college system
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1565108 << will be interesting, nobody living in usa ever lived yet to see any usg monstrosity repealed or even shrunk, it'd be a first. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: aka, usg got nothing.
trinque: USG belongs to the hairdo. I'm still curious if the hairdo belongs to CIA/NSA.
mircea_popescu: it all balances out, so that the usg can pretend it has a gdp and the oligarchy can pretend it's in business.
asciilifeform: enjoy, then, the nintendo. (or do as i did when i worked for usg and forced to use winblows xp box -- run gentoo/x11 in vmware, and emacs in ~that~...)
asciilifeform: (summary: usg's most recent attempt to pound in the cock 'halfway', 'segwit', consists of prb churning out txen that result in 'anyone can spend' from trb pov, but miners are to 'agree never to process counter-softforkian tx', a la 'timelock' etc)
asciilifeform: they have own, very similar, wholly usg-powered racket.
trinque: he can rest easy; I'll put this on the desk of every contact I have in USG!1!11!
a111: Logged on 2016-11-05 13:32 mircea_popescu: "suciders" don't you know. that's totally how i'm going to list the dead usg agents if/when they actually get their balls in order and try a move : "here's a list of usg suiciders".
mircea_popescu: "suciders" don't you know. that's totally how i'm going to list the dead usg agents if/when they actually get their balls in order and try a move : "here's a list of usg suiciders". ☟︎
trinque: USG just went from supahpowah to pedowitch infested shitland in a few decades
mircea_popescu: funny reversal of the "mp is headed to jail" meme. turns out... the entire usg goes there first ? WHO COULD HAVE... predicted.
asciilifeform: incidentally this possibility is a perennial thorn in the side of usg, and they keep coming up with crackpot mega-surveillance schemes against it, most recently the ill-fated $2B balloon
ben_vulpes: as evidenced by the usg-blessed rocketry associations insistent whine that rockets may only go up.
asciilifeform: in that the 'cat and mouse' game continues, you come up with path, and usg bans formerly commonplace household crud, etc.
asciilifeform: in other noose, j. mcafee opens a mining pool for usg. (probably in exchange for non-prosecution for pyramidal flimflammery and/or non-extradition to the orc shithole of his past decade)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform works about as well as everything else usg.
asciilifeform: even more so than reading usg pravda.
asciilifeform: ~actual~ alternative affairs do not get airwave largesse from usg. they get banned, like isis-tentacle-not-pointed-ru-wards, and ddosed, like qntra.
asciilifeform: part of the recipe involves folks voluntarily falling on a certain grenade for the good of the tribe, and it is a very brutal one, they go to work in usg
asciilifeform: i am not expert on satmar, but i did once research the mormons, who also carried on imperium in imperio vs usg for a good long time.
mircea_popescu: but, very much unlike the other groups usg hates, these survived a long while.
mircea_popescu: they opposed collegiate education for girls, as well as voting in israel etc. i dunno any group teh usg hates moar.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the hope is that we don't have the problem of the soviets, specifically because the republic has ~no problem with the idiots leaving to be with the usg&co.
asciilifeform: but if your picture of it is based on the ubiquitous southkr/usg crapolade, you would imagine it is a cargo cult pygmy set with straw airplanes.
asciilifeform: but to appreciate it, you'd have to actually think re subj and not simply swallow south kr (usg) nonsense ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-11-01 15:03 mircea_popescu: dude reading usg-tard "business" idiots trying to be you know, radical and whatnot is fucking painful.
mircea_popescu: dude reading usg-tard "business" idiots trying to be you know, radical and whatnot is fucking painful. ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-31#1560979 << how does this 'when' part work? martians drop 'care package' like usg drops ammo for isis ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: odds are teh usg wrote its own imaginary emails in an outlook server, if you mean the recent thing.
asciilifeform: in the tarball, list of pwned boxes, ip/hostname, creds for some usg proprietary backorifice-style client.
trinque: asciilifeform: really sounds like factional wars inside usg eh?
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/t0uXi << in other 'olds', usg ministry of wunderwaffen has cryptocrackpottery directorate. entertaining.
asciilifeform: apparently it was a usg-subsidized ersatz thing for soldiers home from ww2. the vendor vanished when the budget was cut.
pete_dushenski: given that it'd be 9 months since zooko's pathetic 'white paper' i thought usg.idjits had given up on him altogether, but i guess the etherape forced them to reconsider even their most ill-advised projects and implement anything at all if even just so they could keep talking about themselves
pete_dushenski: but in the same way that 'russia is doing propaganda but we're just having open debate that spreads democracy', so too does 'he has belief not me, i have usg.facts' 'work'
mats: additionally, usg continues to support the uae's meddling in yemen, with warships defending a blockade despite an ongoing humanitarian crisis https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2015/jun/08/humanitarian-crisis-in-yemen-voices-from-the-conflict
mats: usg is busy maintaining a state of terror in the middle east
trinque: in other news, the bitcoin/usg.usd interface is on the move
asciilifeform: snoar, usg playing checkers with self.
mircea_popescu: somehow the fall of rutba failed to make it through the usg blocade, too.
asciilifeform: i will point out that the one ~admitted~ case of usg-sent-magic-packet-and-switched-on-the-mike involved a 'dumbphone'.
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/YyahC << one of the things the usg push for 'biometric auth' was for.
shinohai: It's ok when you do it under banner of the usg
asciilifeform: fella got usg bayonet up his starfish for a reason.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would ANYONE confer legitimacy on the usg ffs.
trinque: nor is "usg shall surely be able to increase interest rates to mop up the money it printed"
trinque: look how bitcoin rips through USG bureaucracies, but this sha2 pill yet hides?
asciilifeform: self-admitted usg hilfswillige.
trinque: but windows is usg.approved
mircea_popescu: fucking factory model that gave us the usg in the end. "oh this is where we process things". damn it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, but usg is always very keen on counting the jwzs on its own lists. nixon's "silent majority" and all that.
mats: i give it 1/2 odds usg packs their bags and goes home if isil is routed from mosul
mats: usg has done a good job helping the kurds hold down the area
mircea_popescu: if there isn't any infrastructure, the difference between "extremists" and "civilised people" is nil. much like when there aren't any balls, the difference between usg presidential hopefuls is nil.
mircea_popescu: china got infinite slaves. usg got infinite expectations. you know, like elliot, peace be upon his name.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we're not discussing the aspie 14% fantasy here. usg dun got no money nor any workers.
ben_vulpes: look my ex employees bike trip from vancouver to mexico is more impressive than usg defence contractor turds
ben_vulpes: mats: has the usg defense industry made a thing that was ready for use against anything-thats-not-goatfuckers-with-twenty-year-old-mortars?
mircea_popescu: mats yeah, except the usg is in no position to offer anyone anything. but w/e, all sorts of charlies ready to suicide, so.
mats: prob not. helluva bet for the pesh - usg offers statehood in exchange for the lives of tens of thousands of their young men
lobbes: https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/resources/faq/faq_publicdebt.htm#DebtFinance << kek. usg now accepting gifts to reduce debt. checks accepted!
mats: this was after the local IA garrison was routed by isis and usg was concerned the embassy would be taken?
mircea_popescu: if the usg-sponsored "social sciences" weren't a pile of crap, someone'd have already written it.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lol at usg online redo of tikrit offensive. lemme guess, they got a bunch of merceniaries
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i vaguely recall some data about how 1/3 of all encrypted comms on sr historically was from/to usg and its merry band of thieves under another name.
trinque: the usg.* of it all. insanity tentacles.
mats: meanwhile, few folks know or care that this particular chain events was probably precipitated by usg supplying saudis with arms used to strike a funeral that resulted in 142 dead
mats: i wonder how usg will react when uss cole pt 2 comes around
trinque: if there's a usg.antichrist it's him.
ben_vulpes: usg.quilmes
