Framedragger: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hey i may be up for setting up some kind of searchable thing with everything dumped into postgres. not sure how much worth vs. time, but could be useful as these stats grow
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 16:19 mircea_popescu: let's give Framedragger a courtesy ping seeing how it's all his data.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty clear to the naked eye. dsl modem.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'unmask', turns out, isn't nearly 'user-friendly' enough for nsa, they would also like arbitrary ram r/w into the chumpers
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it will be an interesting anal piercing moment for the tor aficionados - EVERYBODY gets to 'upgrade' ☟︎
jurov: mircea_popescu prolly confused casting and smelting
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: folks cast aluminum in jungle conditions all the time, it is not so hard.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ar(m16) 'receiver' is not a pressurized part, it just holds the mag and the trigger clockwork
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 15:40 mircea_popescu: not sure worth the 1500, but anyway.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: chumps are almost biologically drawn to 'musical chairs' game
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 14:30 shinohai: I DM'd Stephan Tual on twitter to ask why he blocked me. Reply was that "you write fabricated information on The Dao and I believe you to be in league with mircea_popescu".

a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 11:31 mircea_popescu: i don't agree with his illuministic/humanitarian blaming of the hardware, i believe we can't have computers until and unless impaling every single derp currently involved in computing in any capacity, but this looks like a dispute for the ages.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: great story, much appreciate
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re "Your name is enough cannon, Highness, said Pototki." << (just curious: is the wordplay present in romanian, too?)
Framedragger: damn mircea_popescu, your wordspersec rate is good. (and i'm yet to read the siege story!)
shinohai: http://trilema.com/2016/to-the-dao-and-the-ethereum-community-fuck-you/#comment-117699 <<< bwahaha this guy actually asked you to cryptocat mircea_popescu ? LOLOL

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu re: http://trilema.com/2016/sobieski-si-romanii , didja ever see mega-film 'ogniem i mieczem' ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 21:55 mircea_popescu: the notion that you WANT "instant" messaging is simply begging the question - you thereby and therefore DO NOT want secure, or workable, or sane.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 22:00 mircea_popescu: it is not clear that otp actually works ; it is almost certain nothing else in the "pfs" gargle does.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hey - cool.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: no!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> soviet phones were owned by state corp, say. << Many phones still owned by descendants of original AT&T still collect rent
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ah. right, sure ok
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: this, incidentally and admittedly, is probably why i'm reading logz and half-lurking and all that, to be honest with you
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re. need for synchronization, different needs for different cases? (also, near-instantaneous doesn't imply synchronous or even "with retained order" (not under all interpretations anyway))
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: sure, i see your point regarding implicit assumptions in "instant messaging" etc.; but on a technical point, they allow for pfs through 'session secrets' without having a bunch of pre-computed keys (unknown status of distaste @ these terms here)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: a good thing to remember, hm!
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 21:38 mircea_popescu: it is safe to say the result of a life dedicated to science will idem be "pile of shit"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: chip without i/o is ~useless.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: good point
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 17:19 asciilifeform: Framedragger: didja read by any chance mircea_popescu's recent piece on argentine space-heaters ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mostly, asciilifeform's wrath bit was set

ben_vulpes: this is not mircea_popescu's harem where basic mathematics are beaten into slavegirls.
a111: Logged on 2016-02-07 23:57 mircea_popescu: complete anonimity between peers more than one node removed ; complete secrecy outside of the node group ; no integrity or authenticity outside of the wot trust.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i neither agree nor disagree, i did not know for a fact whether the fella on the bus was 'math bum' or not. simply that the thought came to me, 'erdos'
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu could, if so inclined, carry out the rabbit experiment using one of his pets, and tell how it went.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was hoping, but.. nope. SCAM
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 02:45 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think of "glove" in the sense of, a cubic foot heavy box you stick hand into, move around
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 00:57 mircea_popescu: actually a proper, accelerometer based, precision instrument (glove ?) as described here seems a required item, thinking about it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: e.g., http://i.stack.imgur.com/kY2st.jpg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no siliconoil radiators in ar ?
shinohai: Is that a genuine case made of *plastic* on that thing mircea_popescu ?
asciilifeform: or is this some other mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: lel, who's the old fella in mircea_popescu's avatar pic
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what, hoax ?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 23:51 mircea_popescu: not that i'd ever or have ever typed on anything but a proper fucking desktop keyboard. even the laptop is annoying to me because off spacing.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 23:26 mircea_popescu: i can't imagine why the fuck anyone would use the toy shits. if your affairs CAN be organized by the machine, you don't have affairs complex enough to require outside help. stop wasting your time with the thing and work teh noggin.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 23:47 mircea_popescu: and in unrelated news, http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ba-17-5.jpg
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 23:15 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503421 << they omitted publishing this. or, if memory serves, the actual factors ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: waiwut
a111: Logged on 2016-07-16 00:23 mircea_popescu: "The Solution To No Problems Back in 2011, when I ran AnonNews.org, I had to cope with frequent DDoS attacks - not all that surprising, given that it was a very popular news site and community for Anonymous, which was seeing the peak of its media coverage at the time. In 2011, however, it was pretty much impossible to get working DDoS mitigation for less than $100 a month, and that was simply not a budget I had to spend on it
phf: mircea_popescu: but psion has a handy busy view http://www.geek.com/hwswrev/psion/busyview/busyview1.jpg :)
asciilifeform: lel, by pound? mircea_popescu has some hungry pirannhas or wat.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun see that capitulation as a possibility.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-07 18:09 mircea_popescu: here's something for the historian in alf! there's ancient statement of the principle, recorded in 1970 milwaukee journal : "You make yourself ridiculous by thinking you can do anything. The word is divided in two. The Russians and the Americans, no one else. What are we? Americans. Behind me there is the government, behind the government is NATO, behind NATO is the US. You can't fight us, we are Americans."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most likely, pile sits around busting aes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: all i could find is 'sheriff concludes that only bomber died' and 'attempted revenge on boss'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and admin how ?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-14 21:15 mircea_popescu: armies win.
trinque: this is precisely mircea_popescu's and asciilifeform's conversation (yesterday?) about the definition of an army
a111: Logged on 2016-07-12 20:35 mircea_popescu: "oh i know, we've created a sort of monarchy without a king, basically just the court and nobody there to behead us - we'll call it democracy. if anyone inquires into the matter we can always add modern in front and it'll be all good!"
a111: Logged on 2016-07-14 15:57 mircea_popescu: if anyone wants the project, can be (probably SHOULD be) implemented as pure html, just a form.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dunno about it being a deep problem, wacom sells a $couple-of-k display unit with warrantied alignment
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: incidentally, when digging into eth etc in light of 'turing-complete!111 programmable!1111' scamatronics, i was somewhat surprised that they did not add the flourish of 'algebraic coin'
BingoBoingo: What a coinidence the next generation of smartphone surveillance would direct users to places mircea_popescu lived!
a111: Logged on 2016-07-14 20:21 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-14#1502997 << how much of this is genuine amish weird and how much of this is cheap sensationalism pulled out of the ass by soviet state in its fight to flatten any curl of independence in its perceived domains is probably never getting established.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: suddenly it makes sense. we have these here.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu: I'm not pleading ignorance
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu: hey, indeed I tremendously overestimated tardstalk
deedbot: mircea_popescu updated rating of Apocalyptic from 2 to -1 << ex tmsr, currently tardstalk. apparently sense sometimes fails to take.
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated Apocalyptic 2 at 2014/10/31 17:01:32 << ex-x-bt.com
ben_vulpes: trinque: lowers the energy barrier for me to do the thing mircea_popescu and asciilifeform were talking about
a111: Logged on 2016-07-14 13:04 mircea_popescu: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/trilema << for the record, kiwiirc seems much better solution than freenode's webchat. we should prolly switch to using this as web-side connection.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've never used it, but ok
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: there's no captcha for the kiwiirc webchat thing only if your ip request is quite unique etc. if you e.g. go from tor (*ducks*) then you get presented with the lovely cloudflare captcha where you have to solve shit for multiple times until you pass. but at least no default captcha i guess

a111: Logged on 2016-07-14 02:06 mircea_popescu: (i'm not saying you're making a mess, i'm just saying - we're stuck with all this grandfathered in bullshit, such as boost, openssh, who the fuck knows what else even. qt ffs.)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-14#1502685 << what has mircea_popescu been smoking?? there is no qt in trb ☝︎
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> at least this'd allow some basis for proper management of this mess, rather than current adhocness << the nice part about the makefiles and your preposed solution is that we would finally have a solution in place for all of this.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 specifically, iirc it's tens of mb not gb. amirite ? << Yes, Sir.
mod6: mircea_popescu: thanks for your input here, its high time that we get away from the adhoc nature of this build process.
mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, for sure. i reading though the above here...
a111: Logged on 2016-07-14 00:24 mircea_popescu: if they had half a brain they'd give up the pretense and go learn how to do plumbing or something useful more alligned with their intellectual capabilities.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: neato. old-school drawings
