asciilifeform: i strongly suspect that ddg is exactly 'hushmail'
mircea_popescu: well, i used to think that maybe ; but this level of utterly idiotic bs is convincing me otherwise.
phf: asciilifeform: i assume this is part of "block all google on ip level" program
asciilifeform: i think they use a balancer thing
asciilifeform: btw i get diff ip on erry shot
asciilifeform: lol i only read as far as the cert
asciilifeform: tbf i have nfi what it looked like yesterday or prior
mircea_popescu: i find it extremely useful, btw.
phf: i just noticed that the geek roots thing links to #!, quite idiotic
mircea_popescu: i'm not at all pleased with this convenience.
phf: mircea_popescu: it seems like either end works, i sometimes use !g and g! also works
mircea_popescu: ie, it returns a redirect from the correct ip (at least i see duckduckgo.com. 403 IN A 23.21.193.169 here ?)
trinque: I figure the sin's lazily evaluated; did you liberate some cash from usg and thus liberate your own arse, or not.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in "i don't think you know what those words mean", "I’m a geek person and I’m kinda nerd as well. I’m studying in human sciences and I’m a dancer. Also, I'm a young mom of a sweet lil girl who is 2 years old! :3"
mircea_popescu: "worst sinner is i!"
a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 23:35 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-22#1816718 << hah, i originally watched it for the same reason, and the only thing i even remember is burroughs sitting in the chair, and spitting the "narcotics" prediction in his famous squeaky voice
asciilifeform: i meant the rack as a whole
asciilifeform: ...because dream of miami ? i've nfi.
asciilifeform: part of the puzzler i suspect lies in the continued operation of the waterfall
asciilifeform: upstack, i suspect mircea_popescu has the answ to the riddle of why bitcoin hasn't killed wu et al -- orcs still perceive having the option not to use btc
BingoBoingo: Kinda how I ended up in the Home Despot garden department before taking off to Uruguay.
asciilifeform: kinda why i wanted to get the fuck out since long before tmsr. i'm buying hitler's lunch and it's stomach-turning.
asciilifeform: i dun grasp how 'dreamers' enable dhs etc ☟︎
asciilifeform: dunno, they could all die of pox tonight and i suspect the lizards would shrug, less overhead
asciilifeform: for all i know, still is, the gears grind slowly
mircea_popescu: can't say i do either.
asciilifeform: i still dun fully grasp the supposed usg feud with qatar -- iirc the latter sank couple $B into usg's 'moderate rebels' ☟︎
asciilifeform: as i understand, it worx b/c tight wot
asciilifeform: i'll be at least slightly surprised if he manages to penetrate subj; but i like good surprises ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i expect bulk of the nonsense is still guy runs away to work, wants to send dough back to wife.
asciilifeform: anybody with pile of benjie could do it right nao, simply eat/shit btc on site. but for some reason these folx allergic to btc ? i haven't the faintest idea
asciilifeform: but i suppose consistent.
asciilifeform: it only started to work once i fed it a name, addr, and cc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but i mean isn't the point of this whole wu business that you just walk into an office and send someone a few benjies ?
mircea_popescu: i thought i was being funny with the paypal throwaway.
asciilifeform: oh i should note, had to get 'account' for it to work
asciilifeform: i dunno what cockroaches are in the pertinent heads... 'terrorist will never try 2x' ? nfi
asciilifeform: i'm looking at my notes, and seems like erry wu i ever sent ( and i sent a good coupla dozen ) took 2 shots (per new addressee)
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 00:38 mod6: mircea_popescu does have a point re 'freedom of navigation' tho. but ya, if it doesn't matter to BingoBoingo, I'm game.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Will explore those options. I suspect there might be something.
asciilifeform: i dun get it at all, BingoBoingo . they pay $ to send 'across town' ?!
asciilifeform: i dare say it's almost like we have screwdriver, but ~nobody's come up with screws yet
BingoBoingo: I dun know if any of them talk outside uruguay
mircea_popescu: but i mean... you understand how little sense this makes, neither of this has anything to do... oh, cuz wu is a us thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i said, i sent'em for 6mo in a row with 0 eggog afterwards
asciilifeform: hanbot: one time i caught a wu monkey and squeezed an answer from it, 'corp office forbidden by dhs to say why not worked'
hanbot: mircea_popescu i think if you ask why, a terrorist is you.
hanbot: mircea_popescu i'm not even sure, their banhammer is like a pile of weird noodles.
hanbot: Anyway, I'm going to get it settled tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
hanbot: I don't think I'ma bother to debug their nonsense, as far as I'm concerned Western Union was never even marginally useful for any purpose I can think of. But obviously they did carefully write down all the details before not doing any work, so I dunno...advanced warning I guess? Not sure how much the shitpile can be relied on.
hanbot: BingoBoingo: I went to send your WU, but either someone I traded with back in the days of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-24#1817953 that is based in Peru did Something Bad(tm), or else I dunno, your gf? In any case they're doing this entire song & dance about how "there's an alert" and "i gotta talk to a lawyer to justify...it's not clear what or why or to whom", entirely contentless fluff. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: sorta, i guess.
mircea_popescu: come to think of it, i suppose this would be the pinnacle of perversity : to get titfixed women smuggled into prison for your amusement, but only ever fuck them in the ass.
asciilifeform: meanwhile in upstack lulz: asciilifeform discovered that a good % of prb returns NOTHING to getaddr command. how the fuck do these people connect to peers ? ( i'ma guess some gavintronic-over-https curated nonsense )
mircea_popescu: i meant the logbridge
asciilifeform: and i've emptied my share of mousetrap.
asciilifeform: i for 1 am fascinated. i dun recall mice, rats, doing this.
asciilifeform: at this point i can believe many things
asciilifeform: lol for a sec i almost believed
mircea_popescu: I WAS MAKING A SARCASTIC REMARK
mircea_popescu: i know. hence "she is literally laughing at you".
nicoleci: mod6, thanks, you too! lol you definitely surprised me, i thought i was dreaming of the channel for a second
mod6: Nice talkin' to ya, btw. I know it was short, but I didn't wanna burn your time or call money.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6 what do you think << yeah! Sounds good. I put together a thing, lemme dig it out...
mircea_popescu: anyway, the idea is mostly to permit "journa" tards get a documentation point for their shitty markov chain processes of wordsalading ; and i suppose for the internet cucks to wank at.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was there a fixed greeting ? "Hello you have reached The Bitcoin Foundation, how may I help you ?"
asciilifeform: nicoleci: i recommend to learn a bit re tbf and what it is, cuz folx will eventually start asking..
nicoleci: anything else i should know?
nicoleci: asciilifeform, no worries! i think their was a connection issue because i could barely understand you but mod6 was clear
asciilifeform: pretty unusually, even had 'magic' voice, sorta like how i imagined sheherezad did
mircea_popescu: i guess so, yeah.
asciilifeform: ( anyway if anybody turns up the thread, plox to link, i'm coming up empty )
mircea_popescu: lotta this "i've been sitting here doing nothing for a long time, therefore i matter" nation of africa bs.
mircea_popescu: i oddly have no recollection of this.
asciilifeform: at any rate i dun doubt that the item wouldv'e broken spectacularly if mircea_popescu had torture-tested it
asciilifeform: i havent been there since, no
asciilifeform: i bet he does, d00d hung around for months there iirc
asciilifeform: lol i suppose nao i gotta actually read what they were sayin'..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun even know that the traditional orc intuition of 'rich ~= receives payola from miami' is such terrible heuristic
asciilifeform: i strongly suspect that a very large % of the current set of 'nodes' won't pass.
asciilifeform: the 1 'litmus test' i was able to think of , is the 'i pick a block hash and you gimme the block in <1s' algo. ☟︎
diana_coman: so I guess I'll wait then on ave1's updated .vpatch then
diana_coman: well yes, I can't quite see the point of blanking the manifest without regenesis since that's basically what it means
diana_coman: ah, alternative line in manifest too, I see it
mircea_popescu: (one perfectly legitimate way to build-towards-gossipd is to make the following item standard : every bot, upon receiving some registration order from anyone in owner's wot, will then respond to "any messages for me ?" with a "since yo ulast asked, here's all the loglines i have seen which highlighted your name".
asciilifeform: further in pipeline, will be a thing that actually asks'em for a randomly-picked block, and sees if it keccaks to what i've got.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: btw i think you'll like this, by default thing does opposite of the heathen one, doesn't display prb nodes individually, but simply as a collective 'sad people' stat # .
asciilifeform: ah yes i'ma use same skeleton for the nodes thing
asciilifeform: i have 1 presently ( switched off, will move it to pizarro in near fyootoor ) , talks to ffa
mircea_popescu: i recall some discussion
asciilifeform: speaking of trb, i dusted off an old conveyor item, phuctor-like www proggy that maps out noadez ( you give it ips, and it connects to'em, then issues 'version' and 'getaddr', and builds a graph )
mircea_popescu: if you ever design a car, i bet it'll come with direct command ignition clicker.
asciilifeform: i'd rather have addressable sram , and explicit movement to/from a slower/cheaper brick
asciilifeform: personally i fucking hate branch prediction and other hacks around the slow main memory that for some reason there's no buyable alternative to ( cray is dead )
mircea_popescu: trying to figure out the future misses of the obvious by the branch predictor is the best way to drive intelligent people insane i know of.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 13:52 ave1: ouch, but I hate thinking
asciilifeform: imho pretty good didactic thread, btw, i'ma start linking to it
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 12:49 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1860789 << imho a ~constant time~ crc32 would be useful, and can be made from ave1's with very small effort, but i'ma leave it as exercise for him ( simply dispose of the if's )
asciilifeform: currently i suspect that 'slicing' (per ave1 thread) isn't even wanted; but simply locking.
mircea_popescu: if you want to keep slaves -- then YOU administer the keeping of the slaves. you don't ask sheriff of wherver county to implement the fugitive slave act. and so on. who wants prng makes prng, does not get to pretend "oh, kernel has this knob for me, '''im not entirely sure what it does lol'''" tongue in cheek bs, '''i just dress like this, it doesn't mean anyhthing''' etc.
