asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's 'law-of-attracted'

asciilifeform: lolk

asciilifeform: aah

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the voip spammer ?!

asciilifeform: anybody got a voip rig ? give'em a call, 185.53.91.28:7000, see who picks up...

asciilifeform: i have heard they're tryin' to edge into the spam dc market

asciilifeform: from... iceland, of all places

asciilifeform: diana_coman: interesting, all but 1 seem to be garbage from the switch ; and the remaining 1 seems to be a ... voip spam attempt

asciilifeform: *destination

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at your earliest convenience, plz route all packets having unassigned ip as destionation, to the 2nd nic on dulap, i'd like to make 'radiotelescope' for martian udp there

asciilifeform: trinque: i think my box from last test also had no /dev/shm

asciilifeform wrapping up re-baked proof of ch.14, after that will give trinque's thing a try

asciilifeform reads on..

asciilifeform: right, not named, but clear from http://ossasepia.com/2018/12/10/my-talk-of-bitcoin-at-reading-uni/#selection-75.1-75.249

asciilifeform: i suppose it was the usual veggie undergrad audience, then

asciilifeform: this is moar of a fault of bitcoin, rather than diana_coman's lecture tho.. ☟︎

asciilifeform: diana_coman: the only immediate gotcha that stands out to asciilifeform's lens is that the public crypto example was rsa ( did anyone ask 'but prof. coman, bitcoin dun use rsa?' )

asciilifeform: oh hey!

asciilifeform: 1st time i hear of india programmer type trying to mircea_popescuate ☟︎

asciilifeform: avik bhattacharya << holyfuq, them?! ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-12#1682041 ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yea but is there a coherent picture in the psychosis or only rng barf.

asciilifeform laughed at 'bitcoin not fair' for yrs. wtf is 'fair'.

asciilifeform: wb bvt

asciilifeform: diana_coman: will be interesting to see this talk !

asciilifeform: aa

asciilifeform: ( .. what was 'not fair' )

asciilifeform: diana_coman: what was the lecture about ?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-10#1879328 << gentoo traditionally emits this rubbish whenever you emerge a package that takes 1 or moar new /etc configisms ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-10#1879321 << this is pretty interesting. diana_coman if you have time plz post the trimmed dump bin ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform bbl, petting pet, then moar maffs

asciilifeform: also annoying triangular pixels, i have nfi who thought that was good idea

asciilifeform: apparently those went to shit while asciilifeform slept in his cave

asciilifeform: the joystick that came with the thing suxxx tho

asciilifeform: i spat at the idea, but was pleasantly surprised when actually tried.

asciilifeform: worx pretty well even with 1980s 'battlezone'-style graphics.

asciilifeform: it's entertaining in strictly 'oh hey they threw brick and i can watch it hit my face' etc visceral thing.

asciilifeform: orthogonal to the thoughts

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: meanwhile in world of... games -- asciilifeform recently had chance to put on 1 of those '3d' welding-mask display things. surprisingly good optics nao. would be interesting in eulora perhaps

asciilifeform was deep in the midst of an algebraic headache for 48+ hrs, only nao getting out

asciilifeform: aaaa

asciilifeform: and waiwat wat was this re danielpbarron 'saving', i missed a thread ?!

asciilifeform: it's 'writing' like painting bridges is 'oil painting'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'powerpoint'

asciilifeform: trinque: iirc this one was a bureaucrat even, somewhere

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i went to chicago coupla times in recent yrz on snoring saecular biz, it was astonishingly fulla ragged bums ( and a++ gilged age bldgs, in pretty sad states of decay )

asciilifeform: trinque: mircea_popescu must've lured away the 1 gurl in that nowhere town or sumthing close

asciilifeform: otherwise could not

asciilifeform: but only will believe cuz mircea_popescu aint in the habit of making'em up

asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu says she's 3digit when speaking, and only like-so when writing, i'ma believe

asciilifeform: ( hanbot's , on same machine, worx , so it's a user-local boojum )

asciilifeform: !Q later tell BingoBoingo iirc you were the one who set up nicoleci's mp-wp, plox to take look ?

asciilifeform: ok yes broke

asciilifeform: aaaa

asciilifeform: nicoleci dun seem to have the mp's highlight plugin installed at al

asciilifeform: ooooh that was archiver's js

asciilifeform: oh hm

asciilifeform: mp-wp on shared machine is a per-user install, tho, so it is possible that somebody's is broken. that one seems to work tho

asciilifeform: ( shows a properly-blued '"hi, let's try ((This is how they work.)) footnotes"1' )

asciilifeform: http://archive.is/Bihzo#selection-111.0-115.1 displays correctly here btw

asciilifeform: the horn << well, 'unicorn' neh

asciilifeform cannot comment at all on 'liberal professions', has only ever served on galleys

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-09#1879175 << tell'em, nicoleci, that it is too late nao : that you have already grown the horn. ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-09#1879133 << i can't resist to ask, wtf is a 'nonservile profession' ? 'fuhrer' aint a profession imho ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-09#1879139 << oblig >> http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2578 ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-09#1879123 << astonishing levels of snoar. tho will point out, the 'btc is 4evah' part is lulzy -- not even speaking of hypothetical crypto breaks -- there's, e.g., a built-in sad-fixint-overflow boojum due in < 20yr . ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-08#1879068 >> KillThemAll ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-08#1879085 << i must be an earthworm. cuz i find'em ~all~ ~equally infuriating. ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-08#1879048 << i turn these up erry coupla months, some rando derp claims to tmsr etc ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( e.g. what is 'psd' ? )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-08#1879088 << i have not read. but attempted to when eating log, and found that i dun have enuff of recent ro wank loaded into head, to make sense of it ☝︎

asciilifeform: diana_coman et al : achtung : http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2735&cpage=1#comment-19763

asciilifeform back in biz after short break in meatspace

asciilifeform bbl,meat

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: iirc ro didn't start throwing folx back until dej

asciilifeform: yes. wasn't a xor but a +.

asciilifeform sings, 'что тебе снится, крейсер аврора...'

asciilifeform: aurora

asciilifeform: ( at least, initially )

asciilifeform: btw lenin also with sailors.

asciilifeform: hm.

asciilifeform: upstack, why is it that 'kiel sailors' != 'army' ? or on mircea_popescu's planet 'army' specifically means infantry ? ( on mine, it's broad brush for errybody who subject to mil discipline, uniform, under command of the nominal crown )

asciilifeform: ( why not applied, is separate q )

asciilifeform: german algo ('if it moves, shoot it') would've 'solved' afghan.

asciilifeform: well muentzers also happen neh

asciilifeform: does happen

asciilifeform: aha, or the serb baker with old s-100 vs reagan's $1b flying brick

asciilifeform: whoknows, maybe 5 d00dz with molotovs > regular fr army, at this pt

asciilifeform: i suppose if next week -- fr revolution, macron guillotined, nato expelled, etc -- i'ma have to eat hat

asciilifeform adjusts gas mask

asciilifeform: ( or, i suppose, invader )

asciilifeform: what i dun know of is any examples where the killin' wasn't done largely by orig regime's nominal armies with flipped sign bit.

asciilifeform: ( seems like trivial fact, i can't possibly dispute it )

asciilifeform: that's not the part i have nitpick for

asciilifeform: killed -- yes

asciilifeform: afaik last time 'amateurs' actually gave regular army a run for its money, was muentzer. ( and even there, debatable, had 'pro' leadership ; so possibly actual last time was... spartacus ? )

asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu was going for a historically, rather than philosophically, supported statement. ( i dun even disagree, as such, 1917 was over in ~1926 when ~100% opposition was dead/emigrated . but wasn't pushed out by bottle-throwers, no. )

asciilifeform: guaranteed to fail when sun burns out, lolyes

asciilifeform: so contention is 'serbia not under pantsuit yoke' ? somehow ? or 'serbia will rise again?' or which is it

asciilifeform: palestine winners not called yet, arguably, so i'ma leave'em alone; but what am i missing re serbs ? cuz iirc the 'larpers' won in the end
