mod6: phf: you may want to add the 'makefiles.vpatch' to your patch thingy.
BingoBoingo: Only sins when taken to excess. Otherwise merely instincts.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> just horizontal . << The decadent life of a Saint!
shinohai: http://archive.is/516O8 "Go and Rust are compelling, safe languages for writing the type of systems software that has traditionally been written in C."
mod6: no prob. just thought i'd report.
asciilifeform: and ruthlessly hunt & kill the old vdiff.sh on all of my boxes.
asciilifeform: i'ma fix this when i get back up
a111: Logged on 2016-09-29 02:18 mod6: asciilifefor some good news (your seal verifies with your genesis vpatch), and some bad news (your genesis vpatch contains timestamps): http://dpaste.com/2TCT5ND.txt

asciilifeform: shinohai: could take a week, easily.
shinohai: ./lamport_mkpriv.sh 256 512 > privkey.txt #Go make tea and smoke
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: linked piece does not require much brain, fortunately, it is about the simplest publickey sig algo ever devised
ben_vulpes: i'll keep reading this until my illness subsides and frees my brain
asciilifeform: at least partly the purpose of this piece is to make the reader understand that his household is short on rng bitz.
mircea_popescu: it is quickly becoming apparent that the one strategic material of the coming war shall be random bits.
asciilifeform: lamport did not specify this, but imho it is obvious.
asciilifeform: note that we hash the raw random bits, and not their ascii representations. this may seem unnecessary but we do not want any known structure in the inputs to H.
mircea_popescu: dude this is such a great thing.
phf: oh, yeah, i introduced that bug during recent rewrite, and forgot to fix..., it should properly redirect to http://btcbase.org/patches
mircea_popescu: lol try http://btcbase.org/patches/ phf
mircea_popescu: well that's a link. a backlink is backwards.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu wants to link to my www, he can do it when ~he~ feels like it
asciilifeform: i like backlinks to be a deliberate thing, rather than pissed into the aether willy-nilly
mircea_popescu: ah. it is a public disservice though, people reading through eg, one of the trilema pieces you linked, might wish to know that there's something on loper related to the discussion.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it might interest you that your blog sent out 0 pingbacks
mircea_popescu: do you have a check that A and B count is at least payload bytes ?
asciilifeform: aha, the good doktor lamport knew what he was doing.
mircea_popescu: "To make use of such a key, the owner hashes the payload being signed, and for each bit that is equal to 0 in the resulting hash, reveals the original pre-hash string from column A, whereas if it is equal to 1 he reveals a pre-hash string from column B." << this is the RIGHT THING.
mircea_popescu: by now it's pretty much a game of duck duck goose in republican writings ; whenever the empire products get linked they stand out like that finger ( http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/patau-trisomy.jpg )
asciilifeform: there is not, sadly, a sane exposition known to me.
mircea_popescu: you know, quantum mechanics is "old hat" in the sense that well... it was there since forever.
asciilifeform: old hat. everything in this piece is old, old hat. but i was unable to turn it up in one place, and so here it goes.
mircea_popescu: most derps miss the important points.
mircea_popescu: very apt observation re the value of bitcoin as forever-time-anchor btw.
asciilifeform: anyone who followed along and was able to (or not...) to fit-in-head, please let me know.
mircea_popescu: why blame! did you know blaming uses 79 muscles whereas hitting someone over the head only uses 21 ?
asciilifeform: i blame mircea_popescu for this one!111
mircea_popescu likes the new blog-inclined alf!
phf: asciilifeform early today http://65.media.tumblr.com/fc0a3d8f787458407801a272028d7746/tumblr_oe8af78O5f1uu4f9zo1_500.jpg

shinohai: fluffypony was guest speaker and got monero to sponsor the hot pockets for lunch
shinohai: thestringpuller apparently we missed this giant blockchain meet in Atlanta everyone was a part of https://twitter.com/bandofcoders/status/781261716034158592
mircea_popescu: Framedragger eh could this stop being a thing!
scriba: Something went wrong while attempting to read the log.
mircea_popescu: hey, you're not the only one :)
shinohai: I dunno why I find that so delightfully hilarious ....
mircea_popescu: shinohai ah, that was in the province. some small town north of ba
scriba: Something went wrong while attempting to read the log.
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160928/#447 << it's a setting in settings. you're not the only one.
mircea_popescu: seems to work best for everyone involved.
mircea_popescu: i generally park the girls on a circle a few miles around the local university campus.
phf: should've kept some employees to do it for you
phf: my recommended for you is "Angelina Jolie Admits To Illuminati Sacrifice In Leaked ..."
ben_vulpes: "here let us show you how many times we can fuck this up"
ben_vulpes now watching midair refueling mishaps on the "joint forces channel"
phf: ben_vulpes: i was using intellij idea to hack on it, and i have to say, it's not that bad.
pete_dushenski: in other nuts and bolts (of possible interest to machinists present), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iptAkpqjtMQ
ben_vulpes: let me tell you how much i want to port comment threading between wordpress themes
ben_vulpes: ah thanks phf
phf: i don't think classic supports nesting (default does though)
pete_dushenski: aha that's entirely possible
ben_vulpes: possibly the template doesn't support it?
pete_dushenski: o.O maybe mircea_popescu has pixie dust he can share then
ben_vulpes: checkbox schmeckbox, nesting doesn't appear to be working
pete_dushenski: my guess is different ip addys caused the hold-up last time
ben_vulpes: and the smileys
ben_vulpes: ah found the nested option
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i know i'm using heathen-wp but is there not a checkbox in the settings in wp-mp for emoticon switch-off (if that's the smileys you mean) and comment indentation ?
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i would also like to shoot the inane smileys in the head, but there are only so many hours in the day and i only have two hands.
shinohai: http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/karma-1.jpg <<< I like how there is handy sign asking la gente not to steal the hangars
ben_vulpes: grunting on wwwtronix is bad for the soul.
ben_vulpes: well feedback received. i'm not particularly in the mood to dive into the php any time soon.
ben_vulpes: oh, the comments themselves
pete_dushenski: given that the us pretty much only has soft power left, encouragement is one of its few remaining weapons.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: also, i'd humbly suggest ch add at least one layer of embedded replies. also, one excellent habit that i picked up from mp was to answer any and all comments on the blog. it's a two-way street this internet thing and responding with something as simple as a "cheers" is encouraging for readers.
shinohai: Exactly! He was probably just concerned about everyone's potassium intake, it's still kinda hot during the day here in the South.
pete_dushenski: shinohai: sort of like the plastic rings for 6-packs!
shinohai: I insist they are not nooses, but merely handy lanyards to assist with transport.
shinohai: Some speech is more protected than others.
pete_dushenski: "According to a news release from the public safety office, freshman Tristan Rettke was charged with civil rights intimidation." << not charged with mocking the gorilla-gendered students ? weird. i guess there's a lot of ways to cut the phony pie.
shinohai: http://archive.is/R5PKk <<< Man in gorilla mask shows up at blm protest to hand out bananas wrapped in nooses. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8646/16594020176_e5d7ddfb03_o.gif << and you thought jooz were shifty.
pete_dushenski: in other transformations, http://sgmacro.blogspot.ca/2013/07/transformation-of-mirror-spider.html
pete_dushenski: eu-expansion capital. it's all to evident that, like the romans in palestine or usd as world reserve or facebook as #1sm, it's a temporary occupation.
pete_dushenski: diana_coman: my take on the eu-ification and commie blockiness is the same and quite disjunct from the catholic era : it's that the latter day ("tomorrow is a latter day", anyone?) implementations are superficial and have no particular bearing in the locality. in the same way that having modern art and architecture looks identical worldwide is nauseating, so too is the token clean street in whatever
diana_coman: fwiw Vilnius' really "old" area is slightly behind the so-called "old town" and perhaps the more "artsy" area along the river
diana_coman: d of the day
diana_coman: well, at the end of the day that IS the local character; previously it was the all-the-same blocky/stocky/commie townhalls, what; previous to that it was the catholic cathedrals etc; really what you deem "local character" vs "uberglitz, eu-ification" is just a matter of personal preference I'd say; I was suggesting you visit Panevezys precisely because that IS more of the "local" character than the well-groomed Kaunas at the en
pete_dushenski: diana_coman: what's specifically 'eu' about the baltic, yugoslavian, romanian, what have you arrangements is that the fancy town squares and rebuilt castles were the bait and switch in exchange for monetary hegemony. there are exceedingly few examples of such peaceful expansion of territory in my historical memory banks (though i'm open to being disabused of this notion)
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later tell thestringpuller http://ix.io/1rjz
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: aha. glanced at it. some people know how to hold a grudge, what can i say.
pete_dushenski: lol! and yet this doesn't strike you as surgical mengelism ?
diana_coman: but you know, they are in the end in quite a pickle because "lithuanian" would be what, Grand Duchy of Lithuania, right?
diana_coman: iirc took out the red pavement on the red street because ahem, RED
diana_coman: out of desperation to have the "lithuanian" thing
diana_coman: they *rebuilt* the damn "castle"
diana_coman: hmmm, I think you are reading into it from a predefined perspective really
pete_dushenski: diana_coman: it's true that the over-polished vilnius area is scarcely larger than a football pitch, but it's still a chunk of real estate devoid of the character of the rest of the country. eu-ification for all! rationalism uber alles! it's a shame, yes, but mostly for the inconsistently - the partial transplant - like the handsome black man with a single emaciated white arm surgically attached where his
