asciilifeform: 'just popped' means that you can no longer use it, as previously suggested, in place of sks, for instance.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cheap vps will fall down just as readily when flooded (as will the trb node, mine or anybody's)
Framedragger: because 1) other sites' experience may be impacted, and 2) phuctor db would place some load on things. why = because i'd create a few indices, those would hog some memory, and assuming users want to do quite a bit of sorting etc, would take some cpu time as well. just sayin'. nothing scientific.
mod6: I think the idea would be to get back to some sort of analog of what mike_c had in place. And then add improvments as necessary.
mod6: Framedragger: so with regard of the wotperson to wotperson (http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/trust/?from=mod6&to=mircea_popescu) and all ratings to wotperson (http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/mod6/); I think we liked those very much as they were. Of course any sort of improvements could be added if they make sense, etc. ☟︎
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: i'll think about this next week. it may be that it's not really needed, yeah - i agree. and integration of things such as ssh server banners with phuctor keys is something that asciilifeform said he'd be up to do on phuctor's db itself..
asciilifeform: db is under ~constant ~100% load as-is.
Framedragger: i mentioned js in relation to WoT as it's more applicable there (lots of ready-made libraries for discrete graph visualizations and so on)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-19#1570743 << i have, as you can surmise, own comp, that still works ☝︎
Framedragger: i suppose the idea could be to re-implement that, but using deedbot's view of WoT, and add additional things as desired. ☟︎
Framedragger: mod6: regarding visualizations, i'm just curious, did you have something particular in mind, as in, how do the svg visualizations at http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/trust/?from=mod6&to=mircea_popescu and http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/mod6/ look to the eye?
mod6: So I wanted to avoid that. But going forward, I think that'll just some sort of optional field or whatnot. I'm excited to put some work into that as soon as I can here.
Framedragger: mod6: sure! maybe "assignee" would have the desired (lesser) connotation, i don't know. coming from some trac feature/bug tracking in distributed teams experience, 'owner' is there interpreted as simply 'person who is ultimately responsible for implementing/fixing this', with other collaborators invited and acknowledged
mats: as well as stability and adaptive cruise control
asciilifeform: the trb node just as dead.
pete_dushenski: mats: do you see the appeal in the whole autonomous driving thing ? it strikes me as appealing to the same neophilic and inconsiderate mind that wanted to vote shillary in simply because she's a woman and WOULDN'T THAT BE GREAT, not because the consequences had any bearing on the decision making process. frankly the idea that sv-shitware was in total control of my vehicle is frightening. that many millions
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: after laocoon was getting connect/disconnect blackholed about a week ago i threw down the banhammer as well as manually banning some decently large ip ranges that were acting the fool. now very slowly catching up to full height but down from ~70 connex to ~15.
Framedragger: i guess another thing is, it would be nice for #trilema folx to be able to test their own phuctor-related hypotheses without having to download all the data. but, it's not as if it's exabytes of data or anything...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not really. nothing stops phuctor from displaying '3.1.3.7 on date X' and '3.1.3.7 on date Y' as separate keys etc
mircea_popescu: this, as an evolutionary superset of "i'll just dump a db of banners and you're more than welcome to match yourselves" ?
Framedragger: so there would be no decision making needed as regards user friendliness / abstract buttons
Framedragger: there would be, as per my current plan, two 'portals'. one would expose the db (postgres). current plan: ths would use phppgadmin. it's maintained and stable. user would make use of a read-only db role. so you could run sql queries on the whole thing. "whole thing" = sql schema which
mircea_popescu: not terrible, has all the needed parts except "which shall provide a platform for those interested in analysing RSA keys and the surrounding metadata collected and provided by Phuctor" could benefit from (such as : by x, and y, and z) as it's currently not even vaguely clear what i could do on that platform.
mircea_popescu doesn't believe in this whole virtualization thing as implemented by cloud/vps/etc. the only virtualization that makes sense to me is via teh uci.
Framedragger: (also, my initial plan was to ask for a month as i can't predict with absolute certainty actual resource requirements. but i think i have a decent picture of what's needed.)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i plan to set up a "phuctor results investigation dashboard". (iirc trinque or someone planned to do sth of the kind, but since this overlaps with the "check distinct banner amounts etc", i may as well do it properly). nothing fancy so as to keep it actually deliverable, but i have a plan.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the whole "oh, microsoft secure implants" is really just so much narcissism. as the raped girl angrily if unsuccessfully points out ( http://trilema.com/2013/the-dead-jew-and-the-raped-girl/ ), the peasants could at any point not have been peasants. "could". the pretense that "couldn't" is exactly what kept them in line them, and it's the source of this "secure implants bla bla" wet dream.
mircea_popescu: as this realisation grips the masses, watch for the populist politicians display a turn of heart about the term "future".
mircea_popescu: just because i'm influential doesn't mean i'm universal. a grass eating quadripede in south america is just as much a herbivore as the common horse, even if they never met.
mircea_popescu: no, i want him to be as upset as he can muster about it ; and then still not actually manage to do anything about it.
mircea_popescu: because the common man consists principally of shit, and as something becomes "popular" it becomes shitty.
BingoBoingo: As is below board
BingoBoingo: Who makes counterfeit marijuana as mentioned http://qntra.net/2016/11/st-louis-homeless-overdose-on-fake-weed-as-the-great-again-looms/
mircea_popescu: needless to say, the most usg will ever collect on that is as many bullets as its agents can carry.
mircea_popescu: gimmicky as per usual. cgt affair. really more in the vein of 7-800 ppls but w/e.
ben_vulpes: ahaha "a demonstrator disguised as santa clause gestures next to a christmas tree with signs demanding aid plans and reform bills"
mircea_popescu: so you know, add it in help output as a matter of best practice
mircea_popescu: ^ only interactive scriba function as per contravex
mircea_popescu: anyway, the prognosis for loper-entrants seems to be a lot worse than for trilema entrants. as gabriel_laddel points out, you're unhinged.
Framedragger: interestingly, i believe that i first discovered this insane asylum by reading loper-os (presumably same as gabriel_laddel). it appealed to me straight away because i could relate on a purely technical level (inasmuch as a youngling can 'relate', etc.) [also, registered nanotube's WoT key before mircea_popescu muaha]
mircea_popescu: Framedragger there's this phenomenon multiple people confessed to (inc, famously, pete_dushenski ) whereby trilema takes a while to read but then clicks. that while is months. getting someone to read it for months as a deliberate act seems beyond the feasible.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: as i gather, you are trying to follow the example of mircea_popescu , who - famously - has never worked for pay, etc. but afaik mircea_popescu never had any problems receiving mail or having own comp.
Framedragger: gabriel_laddel: why did you take gabriel-laddel.github.io/system.html offline (just curious)? (it's still in google cache.) decided it'd be not as easy to commercialize? :p
asciilifeform: it is almost as if fella ~were~ in jail but for some reason did not want to say
asciilifeform: same as in manhattan.
Framedragger: gabriel_laddel: i don't have much free time now, either. maybe end of next week, at this rate. re. CLIM web - any notes / writeup to help? as in, 20min of your time to save some hours of my time while helping you? ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: phf: anyways, I only think we'll be using the browser as a tool to suck information out of into CLIM in the near future.
Framedragger: gabriel_laddel: possible to ship x220's to US for you? not that i'm committing as of now. there are nice refurbished ones here in UK
Framedragger: trinque's invoice thing may come useful. but then, there's more space to bridge, such as the vast gap between person who wants to buy useful item and person spending coins from trb so can pay invoice....
mircea_popescu: yes, but as a more general thing, re earlier discussion. bitcoin has 0 infrastructure, just a bunch of dorkage.
gabriel_laddel: Framedragger: The browser, conkeror has all the same keybindings as emacs.
gabriel_laddel: lol, I'm selling them as we speak. It works.
asciilifeform: and i can make 'mazeratis' so long as they are of cardboard.
mircea_popescu: tmsr-web as in, not replacing apache, replacing mozillachrome ?
asciilifeform: it is as if i asked 'how does your proposed replacement for tetracycline work' and gabriel_laddel answered 'tetraethyl lead in my 100 octane avgas prevents engine knock'
Framedragger: you know, i wonder how postgresql has managed not to die, and to remain, as far as i can see it, a quality product still. both in terms of codebase, and in terms of the set of maintainers and current engineers. probably very strict selection criteria, very strong people in the initial set (funded by / researchers at .su technical uni etc)
mircea_popescu: as such your attempt makes no sense to your market.
Framedragger: (hm, looks lamer when put as an irc line, i'faith.)
Framedragger: "The third period, as we have seen, was prepared in 1897 and [...] was a period of disunity, dissolution, and vacillation. [...] by way of summing up what has been expounded above, we may meet the question, What is to be done? with the brief reply: Put an End to the Third Period."
mircea_popescu: there's nothing substantively making the data less comprehensible than the commentary. on the contrary, if you had to write a parser it'd be easier to write it for the data - the commentary is baseless and as such incomprehensible through sheer variance.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-18#1569742 << in fairness, "trinque" as well as "mircea_popescu" is an account in the meaning here contemplated. you already have accounts. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-11-18 08:50 jurov: i just threw my hands in disgust and use electrum. negrate as you wish.
asciilifeform: (the little entomological puzzle here being, how much are these folks schooled in the facts, so as to lie correctly)
asciilifeform: (or even mundane human problems like 'where to find a more decent flat' , because ~there~ , just as with fermat conjecture, there is no guarantee that you aren't facing brick wall, on account of personal inadequacy. whereas the crossword is guaranteed to yield to modest effort. it is sex with doll.)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-18#1569777 << actually there is another destructive force at work, also. i once knew a very capable d00d who ended up quitting serious research (he was a biologist) to play 'world o' warcraft'. he explained it as 'the game gives steady reward morsels, my research was a possibly lifelong brick wall' (not his exact words, but this was long ago) ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'people' as broad class historically have barely been capable of wiping own arse. i was referring to the formerly sometimes-capable right tongue of bell curve, not to cattle.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yes, there as in the challenge question.
Framedragger: there, as in say, in the challenge in question? i would imagine, curiosity, and a deeper need to do something smart and meaningful, and hoping that the people organizing this give such an opportunity. and folx are willing to spend many hours pursuing that.
mircea_popescu: the republic lives off tooling and infrastructure, and what is tooling and infrastructure develops out of you know, lived life. as a matter of necessity this can't be aforestated in its entirety.
a111: Logged on 2014-06-02 18:30 mircea_popescu: Up until recently it was practically impossible to become embroiled into any sort of dealing with the subgroup, their ownership being strictly assumed and their lives strictly subsumed by the corporations competent at dealing with the human cattle : fastfood providers, supermarkets, the government. Both as employers and providers these specialised bureaucracies have the necessary tools, including cattle prods (or what
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re. bdsm board, sure it could be, the latter, as i understood it, would be a general e2e encrypted forum board (permanent post) solution with signatures etc.
mircea_popescu: doing this as such is slated, for a little later. but since i was on fiverr anyway from the article, well...
mircea_popescu: because they won't as much as fucking read the text, you understand, and then come back with "what is the problem friend".
mircea_popescu: that site incidentally is entirely constructed on stupid. the likeliness of their advertising open work orders (called "requests") is inverse to... the number of already present offers. counted. as such. except obviously the posts are mostly spam.
mircea_popescu: but the most informative part of this is - nobody seems to seriously dispute the obvious problem that "the btc address is 30 symbols long - what if i get one wrong ?!" ; yet even with that much accepted of the fundamental principle of republican money, ie, injective payment function - the obvious extension to sum is ... not so obvious. "oh what if i get one of 8 digits wrong ?" "i dunno dude... same as if you got 4 symbols wr
mircea_popescu: for as long as it doesn't take itself seriously i dun see the problem with it.
mircea_popescu: and the strangest part being, that he expects we'll be upset with him for it. as if you know, they're there because i was bored one evening and came up with some arbitrary dumb shit.
mircea_popescu: this is no good, what can i tell you. you're more than welcome to use it as your own software, but it's braindamage and it ain't convincing me.
mircea_popescu: jurov the problem is one of optics. you have not "seen paying" anyone for .achristianfamily either, but you credit the empire and discredit the republic for reasons we're invited to not misrepresent as misplaced loyalties, i guess. similarly with electrum - yes, for as long as you stick to the credit empire discredit republic mindset, it "enables" you. ☟︎
jurov: and i'd congratulate to 1500 btc mpex seats, as long as someone is actually seen paying :)
jurov: i just threw my hands in disgust and use electrum. negrate as you wish. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: As is "sober except for these pills my dr keeps prescribing"
asciilifeform: happened right here, even, they shot the mayor's (!) when he was named by some anon stoolie as embroiled in dope
shinohai: Wonder if they fixed that "Let's run everything as uid 0 in Win10 bash" thing. Maybe the fundation can give them pointers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the whole "ssh key made on debian recast as gpg key" thing is pretty bizarre.
mircea_popescu: lmao at usg complete unravel. kirby of state dept makes claims in public. op asks for details. kirby responds by claiming that he didn't make the claims he made and that "they've seen" "credible" reports from "aid organisations". which terms mean as follows "they've seen" = "some starving intern at random mfa blog pulled from ass" "credible" = "saddam wmd" and "aid organisations" = "hillary's friends children trafficing netwo

asciilifeform: '“Don’t worry,” Jin said. “We actually have researched how to prevent forgery. Think about watermarking detection. As we’re getting the results much better, making it so people can’t distinguish between the fake and the real one, we’re working harder trying to make it detectable.” He then gave a thumbs up and grinned.'
mircea_popescu: it's true that linux recognizes ethernet devices. it's not true that it loads it or dhcps over it (unless idiotic defaults, which sure, african os argument prevails). but non-192.168.* as local zone requires fiddling with configs.
asciilifeform: in other funny tricks, https://samy.pl/poisontap >> 'PoisonTap emulates an Ethernet device (eg, Ethernet over USB/Thunderbolt) – by default, Windows, OS X and Linux recognize an ethernet device, automatically loading it as a low-priority network device and performing a DHCP request across it, even when the machine is locked or password protected PoisonTap responds to the DHCP request and provides the machine with an IP address, how
asciilifeform: it also had, as recently as '13 or whenever i last gave a fuck, pestilential proportions of outright gassable tards (folks transacting in something other than bitcoin)
mircea_popescu: generally the problem with these fringes (of finance, tech, you name it) is that the "people" involved correctly score themselves as more able with other things than the subject. so you get a lot of "value add", ie, "services".
mircea_popescu: as an anonymous local derp pointed out in the timeless form of graffiti, "todo lo que hecho es culpa"
Framedragger: "fix your broken shitty keys" as a service anyone? :p
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can't, not really. as pissed off as i/anyone can be, "What I currently see as best option is to actually comment out those 2 lines of code. But I have no idea what effect this really has on the RNG. The only effect I see is that the pool might receive less entropy. But on the other hand, I'm not even sure how much entropy some unitialised data has. What do you people think about removing those 2 lines of code?
Framedragger: cool. (no hurries as i'm busy with stuff till next ~wednesday anyway)
ben_vulpes: to achieve the same effect with fans you'd need to dissipate at least the same amount of energy through the fan motors as you'd liberate from the fuel, no?

ben_vulpes: pm to deedbot works as well
