Mocky: oh i believe. not really up on my hacker culture

asciilifeform: ha i had nfi this existed in ro

asciilifeform: i also did not notice fwiw until he pointed where in the film.

mircea_popescu: ie, i didn't ~invent~ it, i simply went through my lateral vocabulary picked something.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i hadn't even noticed that. i dun think i ever actually watched it that far in. srsly Mocky, it's a somewhat common term in hacker culture. esp the ru set.

a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 20:04 mircea_popescu: dude, just call. nevermind the "questions" and rest of the crap. spend 1/10 of the time you frittered away already "on" this to call, write up your report, "i, pete d, aspiring to one day lordship, spent 8 hours today cold calling. i managed a total of 76 calls, which would get me fired from the average call center but hey, i'm new. these 76 calls went to so and so, here's the script, here's why i ammended it and when, here's

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i seem to recall there was somebody who bought a few units and tried to resell with some name of his own making ( pete_dushenski ? ) and didn't seem to help him. so magic is not only in the name, it seems

mircea_popescu: not sure why, not like i specifically expected her to be successful. they're where they are because not very intelligent, not for other reasons.

Mocky: i thought it was a stretch but alfred at timecode ~5:00 is the only other place i can remember seeing the term

asciilifeform: i saw 'alfred' full yr+ later, iirc

mircea_popescu: was it mine ? in that case absolutely not related, i definitely only heard of the alfred thing after you said something.

asciilifeform: i dun recall the string being in 'alfred' tho

a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 15:19 BingoBoingo: Mocky: I don't remember a settled term for spear chuckers. Kalash's are sufficiently in circulation that literal spear chucking isn't much of a thing anymore. We do rip on societies here that remain pre-spearchucking in development like the Italians though.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815476 << what's wrong with http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=chukcha / http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=chuka / whatever (apparently i cnat spael). ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 04:14 Mocky: I'm also curious if fuckgoats had its name inspired by the ascent of alfred

a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 03:49 Mocky: reading the logs - I'm trying to understand how 'kalash' is being used here. I don't see it in http://trilema.com/2016/republican-thesaurus-with-vocabulary-and-dictionary/ maybe it's a common thing I just haven't heard of. The use seems consistent with https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Kalash

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, btw, i'm curious : has your fish friend figured out the "He admits he cannot name one other Christian leader outside his own little band of followers—anyone who has lived in the two millennia between the death of the last apostle and the advent of Darwin Fish—who has remained faithful to the truth." bla bla bla "criticism" is very strictly a http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22there+was+a+limit+where+the+fla ☟︎

BingoBoingo: Irony of ironies, Thursday and Friday when I was enrolling in the healthcare association were the days where the cold/bronchitis/pneumonia had crossed the line into feeling over with.

BingoBoingo: It's possible. I picked up an impermeable jacket so drizzle isn't a problem

Mocky: ok, i can see it

Mocky: and with http://btcbase.org/log/2015-11-11#1321780 but it seems like you are using it for more and I can't tell if it's "minimal weapon that lets you climb out of swords and spear warfare" or if its "battle tested solidly reliable" ☝︎

Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815228 years ago there were sites that would crack a windows login for you if you paste in the hash. rainbow tables I expect. It would take about 10 seconds most of the time, but they made you wait 3 days. Or get it now for a price. Not sure if that appeals ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "This is not a guide to a correct Eulora build on Windows. It’s the story of how someone did it while knowing virtually nothing about the tools, language or project. For all I know, it’s the worst way to do it that ends up working. " << i really like how this dood's mind is organized. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: and i'm pretty sure the realization is spreading faster than they are. why would anyone bother to "keep the populace content" in 2018 ? to what exactly, get type A twitter storms ?

hanbot: i guess monty python's brutal rabbit is next.

a111: Logged on 2018-05-18 20:29 fettiffany: actually i have no idea what this site is

a111: Logged on 2018-05-18 20:29 mod6: See, this is why I never answer the door.

BingoBoingo: fettiffany: From what I understand they get it in the mail from people outside the country and the mail gets stolen in transit.

trinque: fettiffany: I'm curious, how widespread is the realization in venezuela that "socialism is crap"?

hanbot: "'I'm ready for the battle, ready to make history," the 55-year-old politician bellowed at his final campaign rally in Caracas on Thursday, where he was flanked by the Argentinian football star Diego Maradona and wore a pickle-coloured shirt emblazoned with the image of Hugo Chavez." (via archive.is/YSHZF) << pickle-coloured shirt, eh? methinks the guardian's been reading BingoBoingo's blog lol

hanbot: ah. tenemos varios personas aqui que hablan espanol, pero normalmente si, hablamos en ingles. i asked you if the "declaration" you read a couple times made any sense to you, and in general what your hobbies/jobs are.

fettiffany: i'm still a little bit confused

fettiffany: Could you write me correctly? I don't understand that jargon

fettiffany: I read it a couple of times

fettiffany: ok, i'm back

fettiffany: i'm reading

fettiffany: now i'm curious

fettiffany: oh.. i see.. but i don't have nothing to do with bitcoins so.. hahaha

fettiffany: so, i don't see the need to register

fettiffany: actually i have no idea what this site is ☟︎

mod6: See, this is why I never answer the door. ☟︎

fettiffany: and why i would do that?

mod6: Mr. P. may help you through this process, I dunno. This is genrally the steps for newbs tho.

fettiffany: i was talking with someone, he brought me here

mod6: And I don't think it's whatever USD. Per the conversation it's $5000 USD worth of BTC right?

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the lullicus maxiumus, http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/factor/5332 >> 1) it's a prime 2) it's a... i'ma leave this as exercise for the reader ! ☟︎

BingoBoingo: I like the part in dude's fever dream where hash functions just "come" with "more advantages"

asciilifeform: e.g. 'We don't need another slow, secure hash function' , 'no compelling advantage ', 'I don't feel that solving length-extension is a sufficiently pressing concern that we should all invest in SHA-3 now, rather than a hash function that hopefully comes with more advantages' , etc

asciilifeform: ( which crapple apparently ships with... i gotta wonder, does it also have, e.g., egyptian hieroglyph codepage ? )

BingoBoingo: What are the glyphs, I see generic unicode noise character

asciilifeform: i suspect that asciilifeform wins the 'most vintage unupdated linuxen' prize

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815264 << interestingly, i had to turn on a crapple box, to finally see the glyphs ☝︎

douchebag: also i'd like to note he's going to be perma voiced unless the bot was updated

Mircea_PopeSkew: I will come back with a real identity and ask my encryption question to someone who will understand, like you.

BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815144 << This is probable. I've just become rather adapted/maladapted to the hostel life. On the plus side the hostel adaptation is useful for future pathfinding adventures. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 19:28 ben_vulpes: lobbes, and BingoBoingo while i'm at it since i want to get you on the same train, what kind of commission makes sense to you for flogging shared shells?

lobbes: This I am not sure of. My gut says a small percentage of each sale, but I've no idea what constitutes a "standard percentage" here. I am also a) inexperienced in sales, and b) motivated on the basis that the tmsr crisis isn't really over until a profitable Pizarro exists, so I'm pretty open on terms >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1814925 ☝︎

lobbes: I have the sword and the "P" saved as vector images, so scaling and general fiddling shouldn't be an issue if you want me to

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, i ended up with a lot of cuneiform syllabusing because check this out : the principal trick of darius was to pretend the person he deposed ~wasn't~, actually, the person they claimed to be. ie, nebuchadnezzar morphed to an impostor (Nedintu-something), bardiya (brother of legitimate persian king) was really "gaumata" etc etc.

trinque: I don't think it's good form to litter the COMMON-LISP-USER package with this.

mircea_popescu: i don't recall exactly how it was done ; but all trilema was google indexed.

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-18 01:16 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, "but i think 20 shell accounts and 100 lower-end ftp-only accounts is probably the max" << on what basis ? deductive approach from lack of experience ?

asciilifeform: upstack -- i'm inclined to agree with mircea_popescu , in re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815209 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i thought he was just done explaining how he didn't like surprises. wanna go for a round yourself ?

asciilifeform: i'd be surprised if there were any popsicles left to pinch

mircea_popescu: imo the former is a bad move. the 2nd is nb, but meh. someone will go steal someone's popsicle and random posturing dork will go "conspiracy!!!" and i won't care but you'll have to either shoot a "judge" or talk to him.

mod6: oh yeah, i gotta get some extra sleep tonight before i do something dumb. like type my root password in here.

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> logo! << as long as it costs ~0 i'm game :D ☟︎

mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815181 << it occurs to me that my statmens re surprises are unwarrented. i had only remembered the 1BTC in feb of 19, i somehow entirely forgot the other 7500 a part. so wasn't a surprise, just something that i somehow blocked out. ☝︎

mod6: i think so too.

asciilifeform: mod6: lel, iirc mircea_popescu was in his 6+-piece, but i suspect that his is refrigerated, like cosmonaut's

mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815174 << yeah, pretty much. just chuckin out possibilities as I hadn't contemplated the matter much. obv. ☝︎

asciilifeform: i was thinking that ideally it'd be something that cannot be supplied by anybody who isn't actually running whole thing (i.e. anyone not us)

asciilifeform: rright but even nao people can add these, i posted converter ( and jurov earlier posted )

asciilifeform: mod6, ben_vulpes : maybe odd q, but do we have a pizarro logotype ? i'd like something in the vein of http://nosuchlabs.com/fg/snsa.jpg to put below same on phuctor www

mircea_popescu: ie, don't discover that a guy who's there at your pleasure is sitting on arms all day long contemplating roaches climb the walls because ~i point it out~, don't be surprised by the attentand morale issues.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, "but i think 20 shell accounts and 100 lower-end ftp-only accounts is probably the max" << on what basis ? deductive approach from lack of experience ?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815080 << i'm very much of the same mind ; people get used to untenable situations and tend to extend them past due date. but this hostel thing has outlived its utility. ☝︎

ben_vulpes: i can see it opening up the altcoinist scam market for least-effort websites

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815069 << poor mod6. i feel ya, dood. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 21:16 ben_vulpes: sure, but i'm talking about quality of existence here. own place to shit, own food prep area, not having to constantly piss on preferred chairs. it buys security for effects, and calm of mind that i think BingoBoingo underestimates (unless he is a very different animal from what i imagine)

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815045 << the make food area incidentally is easy to misjudge. it'll make a world of difference, both in qol and what that qol costs, once you get a proper kitchen going. ideally with womanly help as i dunno you're that competent. have bread going every other day, have a pot of soup always, the good old strictures of european ie civilised life. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: i can see the point, too, "i am so many years old and not getting younger ; if i sit and twiddle my thumbs in this jungle rather than some other jungle it'd better not be just so i end up 40 something and asked "Кто..." and not have an answer"

mircea_popescu: i know a bunch of people tried this, some of which managed to bootstrap themselves into middle class existences (from humble orc nobodyhood) ; but plenty failing miserably.

a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 19:21 ben_vulpes: the active filtering i'd like to put in is either a regular set of eyeballs (BingoBoingo's, or the mentioned-tangentially sales guy to hire) on the "design" corners of these hosting forums to pm our ads for shells on the shared server to folks who are building websites directly

ben_vulpes: i disqualified some others for ~zero activity in the past two years, but haven't ruled out hostsearch or warriorforum yet

ben_vulpes: great, i mentioned hostingdiscussion.com , webhostingtalk.com, forums.hostsearch.com to you, also warriorforum.com from mircea_popescu's mentions once upon a time. i'll dig up some others as well.

BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I will start that, also inquire about setting up a corporation, and register accounts on the filter feeding forums so they can start getting some age.

BingoBoingo: <mod6> Can I get your assurances that this won't come up again for a long time, at least a year or ever? We're just dumping cash. And we're not going to be in business long at all. << You have my assurance. This discussion was started in Februay had been tabled without activity since then. Hence reviving it when we have a path to get to where we need to be, but before we get another infusion of iron down here.

mod6: I'm not made of BTC like some people, and we are still way under where we need to be at.

mod6: Can I get your assurances that this won't come up again for a long time, at least a year or ever? We're just dumping cash. And we're not going to be in business long at all.

BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> yeah, it's fuckin tricky, though. i'm trying to estimate what could reasonably be packed into uy1 from a shared shell and ftp perspective, but i think 20 shell accounts and 100 lower-end ftp-only accounts is probably the max that box can carry without overbooking it, and if we can get to that point within a year i'll be pleased as punch, as it'll cover a significant fraction of the whole pizarro operation's << Sweet
