billymg: i tried speaking in pizarro, i don't see a deedbot to message about voice

billymg: somewhat related to an mp-wp theme, i'd very much like some reliable hosting. do i join #pizarro to ask about that?

mircea_popescu: btw, i utterly fucked up my maffs (i bring sake excuse) : http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-10#1859954 tis not 40, tis 160. i applied the 2 factor wrong way. ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i am also missing-the-details on, e.g., exactly what hand feels like in a bear trap. but got enuff sense not to put it in, or go to sv..

a111: Logged on 2018-10-10 15:27 billymg: i have been working in the "tech industry" for about 10 years now, mostly as a ux designer but i can also produce code

billymg: fwiw i'm in the nyc branch of sv (impossible to distinguish, i imagine, when on "campus")

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i only have a distant idea ( sorta like my idea of the atmosphere of venus )

mircea_popescu: you have no idea (in fact, i am sure no human can form idea, as an attempt from first principles) what the frisco atmosphere is like these days.

a111: Logged on 2018-10-10 15:26 asciilifeform: billymg: i suspect that this hazard is largely mythical : asciilifeform for instance has blogged under his human name for >decade nao, and never 1nce encountered this problem

billymg: this nick is new, my key is new, and i am new at irc

billymg: i am not

BingoBoingo: As this was a public auction, I am inclined to believe this is the number we should be using for invoicing.

mircea_popescu: i read !Qatar...

asciilifeform: hey ben_vulpes i think mimisbrunnr's voicer br0ke

billymg: more recently i was running the design operation for the company though

billymg: i can pull together some older examples, will think about where to host/publish

asciilifeform: as i understand that's who ~might~ be interested in ui expertise

billymg: i know it's the home of eulora

billymg: that's the area of the republic i am perhaps least familiar with

billymg: but i have worked a lot with those in the graphic/illustration side, so can speak their language and manage them through projects if need be

asciilifeform: billymg: you'll definitely want to speak to mircea_popescu & diana_coman , i suspect

billymg: but more of the software interface variety. although i can also make things look aesthetically pleasing

billymg: asciilifeform: ah, i understood that your situation was more independent, like that of a consultant/contractor?

asciilifeform: billymg: for so long as you avoid obvious hand-in-bear-trap in the vein of 'hi, i'm j. smith and i work for xyz corp and their product is liquishit' , generally nobody gives a shit

billymg: i have been working in the "tech industry" for about 10 years now, mostly as a ux designer but i can also produce code ☟︎

billymg: i work for your typical sv company, which is my current connection to a fiat faucet, and for that reason i'd like to keep this identity separate from my fiat identity (to avoid an overzealous coworker who may stumble upon the logs trying to get me kicked for a CoC violation or whatever)

billymg: i pm the output of the decrypted OTP to deedbot?

billymg: i don't mean to only lurk, i'm a long time log reader and am hoping i can be of service to any of the lords in their projects. by trade (as defined in fiat land at least) i am a ux designer and developer. happy to introduce myself in the channel if i am voiced again

billymg: first of all, apologies for cluttering the channel, i missed when my name was mentioned earlier

a111: Logged on 2018-10-09 18:52 diana_coman: hm, speaking of costa rica style...do they actually have hot water at the taps in costa rica (i.e. not shower only)?

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: both are logging, mine has a gap of several days i must stitch in.

Mocky: i'll be damned if i came 7 thousand miles to drink starbucks

BingoBoingo: I don't think our Starbucks opens until 10 am

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-10#1859951 << i'd rather see the latter, if anyone feels like running it again. ☝︎

phf: or was i!

phf: it's definitely a lag between the irc servers, because i got the same burst of your messages, while i was getting ascii in realtime

asciilifeform: yea i just got a long burst of queued mircea_popescu

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't see a111 speaking at all

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-09#1859875 << i guarantee you bogota is top smog. ☝︎

phf: asciilifeform: i saw the last messages on btcbase, but i'm curious what if anything got lost

asciilifeform: a111 and mimisbrunnr seem to be alive but not logging, from where i stand

asciilifeform: i recall trilema piece even

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-09#1859841 << hory shit, i still pay ~40. includes pretty girl, nice view, lots and lots of hygienic ritualism... and anesthetic, tho i don't take that. ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: unobtainium, near as i can tell, at any price.

phf: trinque: ack, but i've also noticed that if i were to import ascii's new key over ascii's old key it resets the expirations on both pub and sub, so let me figure out what's going

trinque would prefer phf just sign "I would like trinque to delete my key and reimport X" for sanity's sake, as it saves me from having to reason through whether this new key is an acceptable substitute for prev, incurring all the "how does gpg really work again?" and so on.

asciilifeform: ( is why i de-expired mine, so i dun have to ask trinque for this favour again )

trinque: I used the gpg --import, which I gather didn't work

asciilifeform: and yes i had '1 identity' , why would i have moar

asciilifeform: what i am puzzled by, is why i did not have this headache myself when i de-expired mine last yr

asciilifeform: phf: it's what i suspected aha

phf: asciilifeform: it looks like key updates got merge into the old key, rather than replacin it. the pub is the same, and hasn't been update (still marked as expired), but sub has been replaced, and is now "expired: never". it also added the new identity (where i removed the email) to the rest of the existing identities

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dunno if you know how the local racket worx, but 120bux is what i actually paid on site; but if i add up the insurance premiums, it's ~breakeven

phf: asciilifeform: yeah, the paste shows that i grab keys from both urls, and the deedbot one is still the old key

asciilifeform: ( i get exactly that pub 4096R/52432A9E 2013-10-06 [expired: 2018-10-07] )

phf: trinque: i think something failed in the deedbot update, because the scrubbed key at link is proper. i've tested it, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/cIIG6/?raw=true

a111: Logged on 2018-10-09 16:31 phf: i had expiration set on it, which i finally removed for good. the thinking at the time was that i didn't really trust my opsec (mac was still in the loop), but it wasn't much of thinking since the mechanism is promisetronic anyway. i also took an opportunity to clean it up off extra "identities" and random signatures

asciilifeform: Mocky: i seem to recall that they have petro-smog

Mocky: the air looks quite smoggy, but also over the gulf and away from the city to the point where I wondered if it was actually smog

Mocky: i don't even know yet!

asciilifeform: nuts! i had nfi

diana_coman: in costa rica I know they don't

diana_coman: hm, speaking of costa rica style...do they actually have hot water at the taps in costa rica (i.e. not shower only)? ☟︎

Mocky: it was funny to fly over the rural areas of qatar and see so many traffic circles and ~25% have a branch that dead ends into desert. prepared for growth i guess

Mocky: the building style is very different from what I've seen before, but ~all the signs include english subtitles for traffic and store fronts

asciilifeform: diana_coman: erry so often i try an' search for some symptom that heathens know of trb etc., ~never found

diana_coman: granted, I did not search for this but still

diana_coman: asciilifeform, it's not as much those particular slides themselves - it's simply that I haven't seen anything *other that that* in *any* "academia" material/discussion anywhere

a111: Logged on 2018-10-09 18:11 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-09#1859786 -> I tend to agree; given how easily I could tell the poor lecturer what was in his inherited slides *before I even saw them*, I guess they literally have (echo of an echo)^n and it was anyway just some hearsay to start with

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-09#1859842 << erry so often, when using searchtrons, i run across some slide deck from e.g. uni of bangalore etc., they invariably have this flavour, where it is clear that deck itself was made from googlelolade , ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-09#1859844 << if not counting the time -- then just about == , i expect, to a few % ☝︎

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-09#1859786 -> I tend to agree; given how easily I could tell the poor lecturer what was in his inherited slides *before I even saw them*, I guess they literally have (echo of an echo)^n and it was anyway just some hearsay to start with ☝︎☟︎

a111: I haven't seen god before

a111: Logged on 2016-01-05 01:37 asciilifeform: anyone recall how mircea_popescu spewed chunks when i pointed out that he's been signing with a subkey and not with the magical modulus ?

a111: Logged on 2016-01-05 01:37 asciilifeform: my main objection to subkey as implemented in gpg is that IT DOES NOT TELL YOU OR EVEN LET YOU CHOOSE with which modulus (i.e. which sub) it actually signs with !

phf: but yeah, it comes up from time to time. i finally took time to observe the mechanism in action

phf: i was under the impression that the subkey gets created as a default genkey behavior, but then you can shuffle things around through edit-key. if you were to remove the subkey through edit key leaving only primary, gnupg refuses to use the primary for encryption.

mircea_popescu: phf we've all ranted about it at some time or another. needless to say replacement rsatron does not include idiotic half-baked state machines. much like trb-i doesn't include "accounts" nonsense.

diana_coman: mircea_popescu, o.O apparently I ...did; and I found out how, as well: the crappy lappy on which I had the away account had imported a few public keys, first of which Mocky's

phf: in related apparently you can't have a key without a subkey. the whole primary key/subkey mechanism appears to be mandatory. i think asciilifeform might've ranted about it, but i've not seen it mentioned in the logs

phf: i had expiration set on it, which i finally removed for good. the thinking at the time was that i didn't really trust my opsec (mac was still in the loop), but it wasn't much of thinking since the mechanism is promisetronic anyway. i also took an opportunity to clean it up off extra "identities" and random signatures ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i can believe.

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859601 << far away they are. not too long ago I went to an "Understanding Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain" webinar type thing here at $usg.toobigtofailbank. As you'd expect, was filled to the brim with such lulzgems as "Unlike bonds/equities, cryptocurrency has no intrinsic value. No way to establish price point!!". imo They are so far from reality it isn't even ☝︎

mod6: Heheh. Maybe so. I'd like to think I'm getting more crusty in my old age, but maybe not!

mod6: I don't think I laughed, it's super hard job, even if you know what is going on. Can't imagine if you don't.

mircea_popescu: l set in or if i should get off to it or cry :) <mircea_popescu> :D <mircea_popescu> i gotta say... when it comes to quality torture... i have no equal.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile in private : <nicoleci> now back to summarizing the logs everyone laughhs at :( <nicoleci> my lifes work <mircea_popescu> :D <mircea_popescu> can you believe how your life turned out btw ? <mircea_popescu> i mean, even in your darkest nightmares, "ima spend all day working really hard at this super tough task, only for everyone to laugh at my work" <nicoleci> nope, still unbelievable.. not sure when that reality wil

Mocky: yeah, i get it. was just making spurious joke of my own

mircea_popescu: Mocky i absolutely was making a spurious joke ; no knowledge of anyu of this.

trinque: possible. there isn't a codepath to change a key, so I'd have to ponder what else might've happened.

mircea_popescu: ah, right right i recall now

trinque: no idea; I'll find out though.

a111: Logged on 2018-10-09 06:09 Mocky: reminds me of 29 palms california. I guess desert pretty much the same everywhere

a111: Logged on 2018-10-09 06:54 Mocky: ugh, it's mid morning. i barely slept two hours each of last two nights. gonna be a long day

a111: Logged on 2018-10-09 06:06 Mocky: I have arrived

Mocky: ugh, it's mid morning. i barely slept two hours each of last two nights. gonna be a long day ☟︎

Mocky: so many bicycles in london! roving packs of ~dozen queueing up at just about every crosswalk stop, at least where I was

Mocky: I had planned to visit imperial war museum and british museum, but didn't make it to either. I did see wellington arch, hyde park, buckingham palace and assorted others
