BingoBoingo: Which leads to the Paraguay war, In the empire days Brasil NEEDED passage on a foreign river to get to some of their productive agricultural lands
BingoBoingo: The thing about Brasileros is they span all ethnic appearances. I could have swore one Brasilero during the hostel days was just a really faggy German
mircea_popescu: it came to be because if the ministry of provisioning takes a vacation, the zeks'll just return tomorrow. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, ~this~ is the "network effect" advantage : that should amazon's cart fail for three minutes, amazon would lose ~0 dollar value -- those schmucks will just come back. this is the niche the empire ever hopes to inhabit, and that it works is directly evident in the decrease of quality of life the zeks permitted over the past century. great-grandfather of ustard, ozlander or argentine lived A LOT better than the grandfath ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i don't think i ever talked to a brazilian male, thinking about it.
BingoBoingo: The Brasileros manage to have a different accent every kilometer, but can't have sounds that aren't gayboi
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo principal problem with spanish speakers is that they speak like faggots, or if you prefer normal people with a lisp.
mircea_popescu: xml is not a thing, either. which is the fucking point : a) use these not-things we came up with so that b) you always need us.
Mocky: most upvoted answer: "XML is not a regular language. You cannot parse it using a regular expression."
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-18#1842776 < no. a) there is no such thing as proper, nor is there such a thing as "mimetype" nor is "pgp" a thing. serve text/plain always and everywhere. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: xdeller: Why are you using a reverse proxy as your httpd?
xdeller: it requires some level close to one of file(1) heuristics and it`s hard to imagine a webserver which does this kind of thing out-of-box
mircea_popescu: and whatever, "xdel" owner figures out which side his asshole is painted on, comes here, registers, fixes his shitsite, then it can be used. not like there's not a process for the world interoping with the republic : it apologizes and fucking changes.
trinque: xdeller: there's a timer when someone voices you, elapses 30min.
xdeller: de-voice could be done w/o \!\!v ..., had to read help to take a voice back
trinque: xdel.ru serves up gpggrams as application/octet-stream rather than text/plain, so I'll have to account for that possibility in the importer, as drakma gives you a byte array for those.
asciilifeform: xdeller: you can now voice yourself, give it a try
mircea_popescu: a a
mircea_popescu: yeah but the digitization plant costs a fortune.
diana_away: myeah, I gave it a thought but it wasn't the right thought as it turns out
diana_away: there, this is the lost-in-the-woods-with-a-key-acct
mircea_popescu: a large part of the amusement is actually made up of the strange reversal, where the subject shies away from the very cure. "humiliation", what's that ? that somebody's learning something, right ? worst thing ever, right ? mmkay.
mircea_popescu: i suspect i might turn it into a permanent service.
mircea_popescu: in other news, to directly dump a file into pastebin : item=`cat file.txt`; echo $(curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} -X POST -F "pastebox=$item" http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com -w %{url_effective}) ☟︎
asciilifeform: xdeller: consider reading the log, http://btcbase.org/log . and registering a key,
xdeller: err, I think I`ve found trilema link a few months ago as a reference in some interesting blogpost
BingoBoingo: Not just the bombing but US nuturing a blighted shitpit
mircea_popescu: haven\'t really been paying any attention, but as a matter of principle.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why the serbs permit a us diplomatic mission.
Mocky: "accessing a protected computer"
BingoBoingo: I don't see how the allegations are any different from using a "Game shark" on a Nintendo
ben_vulpes: lol hey check it out; this guy gets a haul of 300kusd+ for not responsibledisclosuring and douchebags of the world wank themselves raw over 5K and a spot on the altavista hall of fame
asciilifeform: dunno that it's a first, who was it, ulbricht, sitting for half decade nao in the cork cellar, coughing up coin
asciilifeform: it was built not even for actual work but to play similar role to the church in old europistan, as a sinkhole for noninheriting sons of the brahmins
Mocky: "look at our uber-drab office building with not a single person willing to get in the photo, it's awesome here I SWEAR!"
BingoBoingo: Sometimes you gotta eat a bit more Moorish dick before you can stop eating Moorish dick
BingoBoingo: Well, NATO is a club for the terminally bit flipped
mircea_popescu: diana's notion of the locals was "whoa, they remind me a lot of romanians 10-15 yrars ago, when they had a little money and slowly getting a clue"
mircea_popescu: this may very well be it : there's a single bit in the bios, and the flip state of it decides.
BingoBoingo: Sure, the subcontinent doesn't really have a strong mestizo equivalent
mircea_popescu: the brits "had" india&china in much less of a sense than spain had el dorado.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> yea, seemingly even simpler but still unexplained puzzler, what nailed spain ? << I suspect post-empire hangover played a role
mircea_popescu: it's a complex problem, "why do peripheries fail to thrive". "why was hispania not gaul" etc
BingoBoingo: Uruguay tried as well, but they really needed a stressor from outside
mircea_popescu: was 100% correct move, yet it went nowehere. perhaps lending credence to alf's theory re poor genetic stock ; perhaps rather related to how spanish original this movement copied (franco) ALSO went nowhere, principally because illiterate ; though here enters http://trilema.com/2013/a-very-unfair-perspective/#selection-193.0-193.406 ie, rhodesia wasn't as illiterate
BingoBoingo: Joining WWII before Brasil picked a side would have given them a stressor of the sort they had been lacking
mircea_popescu: how is this a why and the other a how ?
mircea_popescu: what'd meet your definition of it being a "why" ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if we were having thread 300 y ago, could just as easily link to the fall of lucifer. it's a how, not a why
BingoBoingo: Right now I'm leaning towards just leaving a nice shipwreck
mircea_popescu: romania had a close relation with latam countries, uruguay, columbia, w/e, 30-50 years ago.
BingoBoingo: Ecuador has a sad hole across from the parrilla that used steak magic on ben_vulpes
BingoBoingo: Anyways, Learning a lot about national govt values from seeing embassies. US has bleak river fort. Britain has country club. Romania has modest row house. Dominican Rupublic goes months without fixing their flag's attachment to pole.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo and do you see kerry registering a key and begging us to help ?
asciilifeform: hey i dun go to mecca either, given as not being in the umma. but 'nobody goes to mecca' is a stretch imho
mircea_popescu: i ended up on the main floor a total of maybe twice, but in general you just meet people privately ; and in this particular context the teenaged bimbos desperate to "get started" were in the vast majority too ugly to meet the bar (which, back then, still existed, nobody paid uglies to fuck)
mircea_popescu: i never went ; but based on my limited experience with the few cons i ever went to, years ago in a different life, literally nobody listens in.
mircea_popescu: this is a distinction with a difference ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 in which vein, http://trilema.com/2014/the-serious-ipo-a-moment-in-the-life-and-times-of-forum-investing/ "would have been good if retard had a gf"
mircea_popescu: can't believe it's a 2018 quote, that, seeing how it actually traces to a 2011 article ( http://trilema.com/2011/romanul-si-marea/#selection-67.418-67.537 )
a111: Logged on 2018-07-17 02:42 asciilifeform: 'they cloink a coupla with the sledgehammer so as to break down the find into shards the size they can fit in a pocket, after which they stick it on their oxcart'
a111: Logged on 2018-08-17 15:08 mod6: ok sooo he did get a trb built from the guide and get it running. not sure why he never stopped in here. and ya, looks like he just grabbed everything and mirrored it on his site.
mircea_popescu: language was hastily (and ineptly) codified late 19th century with union, then there were two major wars (and two minor ones romania was a major actor in) and then 50 years of stalinist freeze during which no serious scholarship was produced. and hence they're too stupid and too lazy to even make a proper dictionary. so actually, romanian grammar still awaits its hero.
mircea_popescu: AS WELL AS a ~homonymous~ conjunctive pluperfect with conditional-optative role, "sa fi stiut de dimineata, mincam" ie had i known then, i would have.
mircea_popescu: to continue for no apparent reasons the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-29#1830805 discussion : romanian has a conjunctive pluperfect with role of imperative ("de dimineata ne-au dat omleta dar eu am citit ziarul si acum mi-e foame" "~sa fi mincat~ atunci." ie in the morning they put out omelette but i was reading the newspaper and now im hungry -- you should have eaten then ☝︎
mod6: ok sooo he did get a trb built from the guide and get it running. not sure why he never stopped in here. and ya, looks like he just grabbed everything and mirrored it on his site. ☟︎
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in other shoelace-and-gum copies of tmsr artifacts, http://edgecase.net/pages/how_to_buy_edgecase_credits << d00d with a kinda blog, tried to copy mircea_popescu's old paid-articles scheme (spoiler : dunwork) -- ( http://edgecase.net has coupla possibly-interesting items, compiler-wranglings, translations of old lit, btc tx likbez of sorts, etc ) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: well... honestly the bottle a lot less sinkable than the yacht.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the world's salvation is work for the world's own hands. i feel no obligation towards it ; i feel an obligation towards my having a good time and that's all. if the world's ready to work i'll show it how and if it's not ready to work i'll just talk to my girls. the only thing with something to lose in the republic-world binome is the world.
mircea_popescu: if you add the SAME quality elements, you actually end up at a size past which the cost of addition exceeds the value of it.
asciilifeform: aint much , but still a chore that there were no free hands to do until recently ( thx mats! for doing it )
asciilifeform: i didn't shed any tears for pete_dushenski, he did 0 but to pass gas . Framedragger's defection did cost a yr of keyhunt, tho, arguably
asciilifeform: ( perhaps mircea_popescu can breed in his tanks a new set, if this becomes problem!1)
mircea_popescu: there's great value in getting rid of code. greater than in "acquiring" code. same is true of people. getting rid is a great boon.
asciilifeform: possibly mircea_popescu already succeeded, cuz i wasn't aware there was a field..
mircea_popescu: but the notion that anyone ever wanted a male is the most ridiculous nonsense ever. other than for steaks, xy has no use. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-08-17 00:56 asciilifeform: the ultimate point, i suspect, is to help unglue nascent Framedragger's ( a la http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637689 thread ) from tmsr
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-17#1842367 << seriously, this is a major help. i really really REALLY don't want a buncha bois in here. i'd much prefer the field be mostly female, and mostly my slavegirls. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-17#1842349 <<< and the inexplicable "why is mp offering half a bitcent for the entire usg.tech directorate ?!?!?!" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-17#1842317 << expect a lot of these. intellectual leadership essentially means, every hormonal teenager will tell the girls in his class, "oh, mp, we're opld friends" ☝︎
mats: i thought the point is to make a mikrotik or huawei produce a broken key in its natural environment? to expand the db of factors?
asciilifeform: mats: how is it a problem on FG-equipped box ?
a111: Logged on 2018-08-12 23:37 asciilifeform: the huawei crapola, for instance, i'm quite convinced at this point would be 100% breakable if anybody got hold of a unit and forced it to generate keys 24/7 for a coupla months
mats: asciilifeform: i think i found the crocs set in a google drive folder
mircea_popescu: a public service altogether.
asciilifeform: lobbes: near as i can tell, their angle of attack is a) make sure intelligent n00bz dun run the risk of finding way into tmsr b) in the slim chance they find, make sure they're adequately teflon-coated, and dun risk sticking
a111: Logged on 2018-08-17 00:56 asciilifeform: the ultimate point, i suspect, is to help unglue nascent Framedragger's ( a la http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637689 thread ) from tmsr
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-17#1842367<< that was a good reread, ty. I never thought of the 'unglue nascent Framedraggers' angle but that does seem to be worst effect of the disregarding of the knowledge-chain (http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637752) ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: the ultimate point, i suspect, is to help unglue nascent Framedragger's ( a la http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637689 thread ) from tmsr ☝︎☟︎☟︎
lobbes: I mean, they can ersatz all day. It'll do ~0 from a human perspective
asciilifeform: i dun expect a usg.pseudo-v, item is prolly intrinsically incomprehensible to the subhuman-idcardcarriers . but whoknows.
asciilifeform: and usg.pseudo-deedbot is iirc a 2015 item
a111: Logged on 2017-03-26 15:03 mp_en_viaje: basically a novel vector of imperial attack seems to be this "let's take republican items and ~EXPAND~ the downstream so that siberian river attack is then feasible".
asciilifeform: i mean, it seems like a pretty standard http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-26#1632664 play ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 03:54 asciilifeform: (iirc we had a thread where i described how corporate ameritards, if given a problem like phuctor, would happily soak up a few $mil and megawatt of iron)
asciilifeform: not even boeck's 10min perl thing, but finally a http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-19#1615434 job ☝︎
mod6: once we have a text-client for eulora, will work pretty great on a rockchip
trinque: mod6: ^ whenever you get a chance, got a new node for ya
trinque: before aggression, I saw long periods where it wasn't doing a damned thing
trinque: I switched to aggression midway, after waiting months, and from there took a few weeks
