asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik they only eat usd however.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been using that hoster since starting my site, >7yrs. ago. they're absolutely super. the cost is virtually unbeatable for low-traffic, simple sites. and, on top of this, almost wholly ddos-proof.

asciilifeform: jurov: it's a relayer, but it has never failed. not once.

asciilifeform: jurov: but so far the results are not encouraging. email doesn't really work!

asciilifeform: jurov: i don't have any fancy filtration on my end

asciilifeform: jurov: that, or we don't have a working internet yet.

asciilifeform: jurov: problem is 100% on your end.

asciilifeform: jurov: my mailbox is not at fault, it works for everyone else.

asciilifeform: jurov: yes looked.

asciilifeform: jurov: nothing in my email either.

asciilifeform: jurov: caching?

asciilifeform: jurov: and why not here: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2014-November/thread.html ?

asciilifeform: jurov: sent again - no dice?

asciilifeform: jurov: ok, registered now.

asciilifeform: jurov: sent message, correctly formatted, patch and patch sig attached, nothing happened.

asciilifeform: jurov: i received nothing, i thought that was clear.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as far as i can see - it merely disappeared into the aether.

asciilifeform: this is getting rather tiresome.

asciilifeform: sent a patch to turdatron. no worky.

asciilifeform: where are they << http://therealbitcoin.org

asciilifeform: jurov: once someone (you, ben_vulpes, whoever) reads them - can also sign, and display will read 'two people signed...'

asciilifeform: jurov: i signed my patches. so if sent, from whatever addr, they should be displayed. (with note that one user signed.)

asciilifeform: you send them << wai me?

asciilifeform: folks who are n00bs re: pharma racket - the above is SOP.

asciilifeform: everyone wants... gavin's is just the one that emerged << precisely same verbiage as the pro-poettering useful idiots. vox derpuli, vox dei!

asciilifeform: 2k << enough for small planetoid.

asciilifeform: all the 'sr2' et. al. schmucks are grunting in the cellars, confessing keys.

asciilifeform: waterfall's being recharged as we speak.

asciilifeform: lol! i actually saw that film for the first time a few days ago.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: also must understand the 'good cop / bad cop' dynamic here. the buggers lure folks to their sugary 'imponade' (see naggum) by, among other things, sabotaging the rest of the universe

asciilifeform: news at 11 is exactly right. this has been going on for a long, long time, have to be blind not to see

asciilifeform: http://www.cs.umd.edu/class/fall2013/cmsc417/public/assignments/project_bitCoin.pdf << lol. 'yesterday's nobel prize is tomorrow's homework assignment.'

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: that tale carries much of the blame for luring me into this den of vice.

asciilifeform: belongs on the mandatory reading list for cultured people of the future, right next to 'the cold equations'

asciilifeform: 'shall be delivered' << imho the single most educational piece of crypto-related fiction ever written.

asciilifeform: jurov: patches << http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/patches.html >> 404

asciilifeform wonders how often taleb-like figures wander into 'paleo' cult strange, after they really felt stronger - but not from eating raw antelope, but from the real win of being set free from workschwitz - that being, sleeping ad libitum.

asciilifeform: dietary cargo cults are mega-lulz.

asciilifeform: mike_c: the part when you're high out of your mind on placebocin

asciilifeform can't wait to see folks follow the 'logical' paleo conclusion, and climb back into the trees

asciilifeform: it had no practical consequence, but blew my mind when i discovered it many years ago.

asciilifeform: my favourite 'sheep experiment' is at a place not far from where i live, where one can rent 'sea bicycles' - little boats that one can pedal around. usually folks cluster together, for no good reason. pedal to an empty part of the water, and dozens follow...

asciilifeform: so they can develop new orifices.

asciilifeform: and when they do, part of the reason is to goad lusers to force-update

asciilifeform: answer is, in many cases, they don't (often people reverse engineer them from recent patches)

asciilifeform: incidentally, some folks may wonder why microshit even bothers to announce pwnholes

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they almost always print 'no mitigating factors' (as in, must install update or die)

asciilifeform: (re: 'compile with posted patches individually' idea)

asciilifeform: ('patch' util is dumb as a rock)

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you may find that my patches rely on one another

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: neato.

asciilifeform: microshit is the ultimate execution of 'plausibly deniable' usg mandate.

asciilifeform: not necessarily 'replica' of anything

asciilifeform: arbitrary remote code exec

asciilifeform far more familiar than wanted to be

asciilifeform: someone << ru

asciilifeform: s/patch/exploit

asciilifeform: external << worth pointing out that i did not build with 'period' libs.

asciilifeform: 'boost'

asciilifeform: here's another tidbit from 'valgrind' runs - leak is very slow prior to wedge, then appears to speed up

asciilifeform: no data on whether common bug behind both, however.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: well, i was able to determine that wedging takes place prior to memory exhaustion

asciilifeform: not directly a cause of the wedge though

asciilifeform: the catastrophic memory leak is also a fact.

asciilifeform: try.

asciilifeform: how could i know.

asciilifeform: (specifically - to see what, if anything, a >0.5.3 client will do with a wedged 0.5.3 chain)

asciilifeform: but - assuming you've the time/energy - there is no reason not to try it

asciilifeform: rather than how it is decoded

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: wedging almost certainly involves what ends up being saved as blockchain

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: doubtful plan

asciilifeform: (works for a number of things)

asciilifeform: simply abstain from something for a spell

asciilifeform: given that gene expression is a thing, this is actually a very easy way to give yourself food allergies

asciilifeform: benjies - might

asciilifeform: easy answer to riddle: money is typically heavy and does not blow away.

asciilifeform: !b 1 ✂︎

asciilifeform: ^ obligatory

asciilifeform: !s mit battery

asciilifeform: кумыс.

asciilifeform: iirc not digestible by man unless fermented

asciilifeform: go figure.

asciilifeform actually knows a fellow who lost lactose digestion as adult

asciilifeform: https://www.daniweb.com/software-development/python/code/423640/unicode-chessboard-in-a-terminal

asciilifeform: yes.

asciilifeform: ♟ ♟ ♟ ♟ ♟ ♟ ♟ ♟

asciilifeform: ♜ ♞ ♝ ♛ ♚ ♝ ♞ ♜

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: on each end

asciilifeform: actual as in physical board

asciilifeform: except when in jail

asciilifeform: most folks use boards with tele-chess

asciilifeform: and pencil.

asciilifeform: decimation: and, potentially, received by another operator equipped with nothing more than consumer radio set.

asciilifeform: decimation: mechanical and man-portable here.

asciilifeform: decimation: mechanical.
