asciilifeform: there are two troughs.

asciilifeform: nah that's on the stage

asciilifeform: what do they talk about under their buggery blankets

asciilifeform: when we aren't looking and the lights are out.

asciilifeform: i can't help but wonder what our little friends the gnomes chat about amongst themselves.

asciilifeform: and little gnomes, covered in shit, will silently scurry away with it.

asciilifeform: anything that isn't bolted down, will be shaken loose. very soon.

asciilifeform: pruning << the shitgnomes don't dare a hardfork. so they'll happily try a 'lossy softfork' - see how much functionality can be degraded (in this case, how much of the blockchain can be alzheimered) without hardforking.

asciilifeform: i vote for him without fail.

asciilifeform: (yes, his official name!)

asciilifeform: in usa we had a version of this. vermin supreme.

asciilifeform: !b 1 ✂︎

asciilifeform: http://openports.se/devel/boost

asciilifeform: exists, yes

asciilifeform: decimation: https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=library&substr=boost

asciilifeform: probably

asciilifeform: no idea

asciilifeform: once the toy os crap is junked, can 'have nice things'

asciilifeform: that kind of 'hack'

asciilifeform: 'really it's to be sipped with yer arsehole'

asciilifeform: how many usaschwitz inmates even own a shoehorn.

asciilifeform: shoehorns are a neglected but important piece of infrastructure!

asciilifeform: is that a shoehorn?

asciilifeform: though it was for build, and not necessarily run

asciilifeform: hammered as flat as possible

asciilifeform: i suggested a qemu image earlier, if anyone recalls.

asciilifeform: if vm, why not openbsd.

asciilifeform: http://noahdesu.github.io/2014/01/16/port-sendmsg.html

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform recommends snippety-snip for the osx crap

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja even bother to read that thing.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's in.

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://pastebin.com/qmZmz0Vc << try better one ?

asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2014/the-tok-o-capercaillie-or-the-herd-of-harts << mircea_popescu took delivery of some very potent smokables ?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you drafted yourself as maintainer - perhaps do this

asciilifeform: not a generic mailman!

asciilifeform: !s jurov mailman

asciilifeform: contains more or less the entire sop, other than the secret of how to operate jurov's turdatron.

asciilifeform: the 'chicken' turd i posted, plus the last day or so of log

asciilifeform: mod6: only jurov knows

asciilifeform: http://pastebin.com/qmZmz0Vc << approximate!

asciilifeform: lellzies

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://owl.ru/morits/stih/off-records142.htm << translator's challenge!

asciilifeform: champions of synaesthesia.

asciilifeform: arse with eye? can see colour?

asciilifeform: but more important.

asciilifeform: hehe

asciilifeform: aha those are the plus-sizers!

asciilifeform counts three cans

asciilifeform: there is no substitute for standard sprats. none.

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: i presently get my (and got the woman addicted likewise, when first met even) sprat fix from a german importer in wash. dc

asciilifeform: a terrible erzats

asciilifeform: sprats (iconic canned fish, familiar to virtually all sovblok folks) started shipping with 'synthetic smoke'

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: for a spell, eu banned smoked foods (!) - because 'carcinogen' - and then latvia, eu circa '04, got the sharp end of the ban

asciilifeform checks sprat supply

asciilifeform: post-2010 or so, real, afaik

asciilifeform: until proper smoke was quietly re-legalized

asciilifeform: they did for a while

asciilifeform: same can, even.

asciilifeform: importers.

asciilifeform: i still get these!

asciilifeform misses cheap soviet caviar (not 'cheapened', but actually cheap, on account of geography)

asciilifeform: 'meow mix' as jar mouse.

asciilifeform: suspected bot (what living thing is that persistent? possibly only mircea_popescu's jar mouse...)

asciilifeform: obnoxiously retarded

asciilifeform: 1000 names

asciilifeform: known idiot

asciilifeform: !down HFSPLUS

asciilifeform: seekr1t propulsion mechanism revealed.

asciilifeform: lol, never!

asciilifeform: 'things can be made as simple as possible, not simpler.'

asciilifeform: a theoretically minimal bitcoinator will not fit in 'avg head,' no.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as kakobrekla pointed out, this cannot be established - at least, quite certainly not given the extant turd.

asciilifeform: stomach+digest.

asciilifeform: when i say 'fits in head', i mean in the same way mechanism of doorknob, or kalashnikov.

asciilifeform: can fit a kg or two of cement there.

asciilifeform: not enough to fit in your stomach, for something to be food.

asciilifeform: wish i could see it.

asciilifeform: where's the beauty?

asciilifeform: although, i'll spill the one bean, that the point of my particular long-term 'fits in head' compaction for it, is to determine (for my own perverse pleasure) whether: it works.

asciilifeform: see dijkstra, yes.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: note that 'hops on the network and downloads blocks' is not necessarily equivalent to 'works'

asciilifeform: (as on any sane build)

asciilifeform: if it was zapped by flag to begin with

asciilifeform: if making 'cosmetic' change, can diff the binaries (after stripping debug crud)

asciilifeform: (assuming you had upnp disabled in flags before)

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: considering that this fix should not have changed the built binary one byte, you probably did not need to do the live-fire test.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: toss it in jurov's turdatron when the latter's ready.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: neato

asciilifeform: 32 MB block << obligatory: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-08-2014#811154 ☝︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: why not? go write.

asciilifeform: 'testing can reveal the presence of bugs, but never their absence.' (dijkstra?)

asciilifeform: tragedy << comedy

asciilifeform: only way to even begin test, is to fire it in anger

asciilifeform: no idea about his last release

asciilifeform: satoshi's 0.1 does not include them

asciilifeform: seems to contain very basic tests for things like script
