asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i got one here with 16G and counting

asciilifeform: describe, for education, how mircea_popescu goes about doing this.

asciilifeform: but i suspect mircea_popescu would have liked. brazil.

asciilifeform: certainly a lulzgem, to see creatures step out of the pages of mircea_popescu and into meat

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu oughta send his ufo over and pick up his 'candidate'

asciilifeform: soooo asciilifeform was taking a morning walk and saw a sight straight out of a mircea_popescu article. teenage chick standing in doorway, her mother (?) packing something into car, in front yard. chick then lifts her shirt and reveals naked cunt, and smiles. mother goes apeshit, screaming in, i think, portuguese, even now, i can almost hear it through open window. ☟︎

asciilifeform: it can be as expensive ( broadcast to galaxy! ) or cheap ( request a turd in web form, which actually reduces to approx. mircea_popescu's original..! ) as desired.

asciilifeform: this btw is also a major feature of mircea_popescu's (non-lighthousetronic) algo, and imho important

asciilifeform: asciilifeform, some yrs before being introduced to mircea_popescu, wrote an (unpublished) algo, 'kapelle', that resembled mircea_popescu's gossipd. hence 'strong feelingz'

asciilifeform: Framedragger: gotta distinguish mircea_popescu's algo from the MB or so of asciilifeform's commentz re same

asciilifeform: Framedragger: recall, mircea_popescu and asciilifeform never came to a 'hey we have this 1 algo', so all q re 'gossipd' presume, imho, mircea_popescu's algo, which was actually called so

asciilifeform: in other mircea_popescuine treats, http://lleo.me/kamasutra/index.htm .

asciilifeform: ( this is not in mircea_popescu's article but is imho elementary. )

asciilifeform: 1) original mircea_popescu's algo: http://trilema.com/2015/artifexd-a-better-ircd-rfc 2) the newer: http://trilema.com/2016/gossipd-design-document

asciilifeform: sina: if you're asking re mircea_popescu's algo -- then yes

asciilifeform: Framedragger: in mircea_popescu's gossipd algo, there are 2 types of messages, ordinary and private. the latter behave as described above

asciilifeform: in other, not wholly unrelated, lulz, '...out-of-bounds write in systemd-resolved in Ubuntu, which is possible to trigger with a specially crafted TCP payload. ... Certain sizes passed to dns_packet_new can cause it to allocate a buffer that's too small. A page-aligned number - sizeof(DnsPacket) + sizeof(iphdr) + sizeof(udphdr) will do this... A malicious DNS server can exploit this by responding with a specially crafted TCP payload

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski might enjoy ^

asciilifeform: and moreover, the mircea_popescutronic answer to 'rsi', is that one that i end up using: 'type less, fool'

asciilifeform: there of course is the -- quite valid -- mircea_popescu school of thought, 'furniture oughta be standard and expendable'

asciilifeform: currently i use one of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_F_keyboard#/media/File:Model_F_corrosion.jpg and it took eons to sand, deburr, paint, rf paint inside, ultrasonically clean the moving parts, reassembly takes ~day...

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: by the paper specs it seems to be a steal for the price. possibly the problem mircea_popescu mentioned ('lemons') is the tru reason.

asciilifeform: !~later tell btw gabriel_laddel you oughta have received the old comp by nao

asciilifeform: ~later tell btw gabriel_laddel you oughta have received the old comp by nao

asciilifeform: is there a gabriel_laddel in ze house

asciilifeform: paging gabriel_laddel !!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have difficulty picturing the protagonists of $redditardmarket using 'at party'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw i have a very basic n00b level grasp of the constants in the equations - e.g. how much cocaine is eaten in a typical sitting, etc. so cannot comment usefully re grams

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: your bananistan still mints coins also ?!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dope aficionados presumably dig 'for truffle' to ~eat~, rather than sell

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is quite astonishing that usg still bothers to mint coins

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: according to the $sources, they dun dig 'ditch', but very low-effort and laughably shallow holes, with, e.g., duct tape 'flag' sticking out; underneath park benches; etc

asciilifeform: if the 'dead drop dope' thing is actually true as reported -- it is a 'britneyization', the dealer replaces 1 mircea_popescu with 10,001 milligramderps

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it does seem to call into question your 'there is ~0 market for milligrams' thing

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: idjits have this fondness for 'automate and transparentize pgp' etc

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't clear to me that, e.g., the mit theft, involved any guile or initiative -- is simply the idiot inheritors disassembling their father's house

asciilifeform: lulzily, it was mircea_popescu who originally taught asciilifeform this fact
