mircea_popescu: hanbot / everyone : speaking of patches for mp-wp, here's something i'd dearly love :
a MASS uploader. so you don't have to upload files one by one in the webinterface.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: Include vhosts.d/*.conf should not barf ; however you don't need
a "path to", as it already runs from the directory above that, as part of the main config.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i haven't put major time into this particular burr, but it is on my conveyor and i don't expect it to be
a major pita or be seen by anyone but me
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i must be thick, or whoever packaged it for gentoo did some inscrutable 'simplification' as
a vanilla apache install over here came with none of the conveniences i expected to see
a la a2ensite or sites_enabled/disabled, adding Include /path/to/vhosts.d/*.conf caused serverwide barfage
phf: ben_vulpes: i take it you're still trying to multi-host
a lamp stack?
ben_vulpes: i haven't even figured out how to get apache to include
a whole directory of vhosts yet
ben_vulpes: anyways, i gotta collect numbers on eg nginx php-fpm; apache php-fpm and apache mod_php for publishment; i'm hoping that the proxy slowness i saw
a few days ago was the "entirely nonbroken stack" of
http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-4-12#331707 because that at least promises each users php process will be run as that user
ben_vulpes: or or someone has
a php app that allows for uploads of stuff and then execution of those uploaded files
ben_vulpes: and i don't know enough about what could go wrong to let user b write into user
a's directory through some nightmare within apache
ben_vulpes: i'm kinda
a little puckered about using the apache worker model; i'm going to have to set up something that lets folks upload content
☟︎ ckang: and
a resident irc bum

a pressed genesis via phf's lastest leftwards/keccak vtools. am waiting on pizarro folks to get apache & mod_rewrite going so i can test it and see to the initial patches it'll need.
BingoBoingo and ascii_lander appear to disagree on the humanity of the locals, but then again it took me
a bit more than 2 months here to lose faith in that myself
ascii_lander: ( in usa, where cement dwelling is uncommon, most folx have never seen
a perforator.. )
BingoBoingo: !Q later tell danielpbarron You have
a comment in cue
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: Error: 'you' is not
a valid integer.
BingoBoingo: !Q danielpbarron you have
a comment in your que
ascii_lander: aaah, the night air, the sounds of
a true orcistan : the sound of e.g. d00d using
a perforator (who cares that it is night!11) etc
BingoBoingo: douchebag: Fly to montevideo with
a suitcase full of rockchips, leave with
a suitcase full of brownies?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think there was
a prior zinging which would make this
a zong
mircea_popescu: sooo BingoBoingo do we record the first case where respondent zinged your dady line ? AND IT WAS
A GIRL OF ALL PEOPLE ???
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, amusingly, i offered
a coin as per apparent tradition, but he didn't want to be paid for ministrywork or such.
mircea_popescu: in other news : darwin fish, of fabled atruechurch group, agreed to do
a q/
a session for
a coupla hours tomorrow / next week sometime.
☟︎ ascii_lander: but no, i dun recall
a visibly duped set of tits

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-05#1721049 fucktards when they finally wake up to the fact that they personally being imbecile "professional" and "not doing" does not mean anything whatsoever ; someone else will skin them alive and wear their skin as
a glove.

a man
douchebag: mircea_popescu: Missy420 needs

a car or something outright lol

a snap to troubleshoot)
mircea_popescu: it looks like they'll forget all about it in
a year or two.
mircea_popescu: here, lotta shops but ~0 customers, looks like
a very sad fash[ion] wave that meanwhile died.

a story doesn't get dole"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-14#1799029 << anyway, i wouldn't simplify it quite to that point. obviously there's
a pull and there's
a push way to make money, and if i propose to some guy, "do x, get y" it's my push not his pull, and obviously if he wants to pull instead of waiting to b pushed aroundhe gotta do pull-y sorta things. but anyways.
☝︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: chloeqtpi, be
a few mins, im not at the sign box right nao.
mircea_popescu: s method there's at least half
a dozen multi-k btc items about.
mircea_popescu: so there's fellows going about who don't know the cm length of their penis ; and certainly not to the
A.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, you don't have
a point. take measurement as
a more general case. sure we can measure things, but
a) we don't oblige everyone to measure everything all the time and b) we certainly don't insist on arbitrary precision.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-13#1798435 <-- not sure it's my place to comment on this, but it sounds
a lot like the "academic grant" trap that I've fallen into at some point. consider this: the abstraction of money exists so that humans can attribute economic value to things. on the other side of the problem, "creating valuable things for humanity" or for "no concrete labour obligations" are not economically quantifiable (any value,
mircea_popescu: but in no case am i about to conduct
a discussion on the basis of microsoft priors tyvm.
mircea_popescu: this "by os you mean preinstalled userland" is 100% windowsism, harking back to the time microsoft produced
a userland package called "windows 3.1" and wanted to pretend itself in the os business (
a field it arguable NEVER entered)
mircea_popescu: if you want
a bathroom reorganizer you hire one specifically, and fucking is no license to organize bathrooms.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-13#1798160 <-- I can definitely see this angle. my point is that by giving up the "general-purpose" pretense altogether, the system designer can qualitatively reduce the implicit trust in code running in the system. so yes,
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-13#1798161 but moreover, one would not expect to find e.g.
a pdf processing library in bitcoin node os, as "bitcoin node" can be specced all the way from

a new server with
a SSD raid, I'm planning on getting
a update TRB node there, which should be more reliable
a111: Logged on 2018-04-10 15:35 BingoBoingo: david_francois: I noticed on of your trb nodes is perenially 100,000 blocks behind. Consider building
a new bitcoind with either the asciilifeform or ben_vulpes aggression patches. Vastly improved sync behavior.
BingoBoingo: Also have
a variety of screwdrivers and pliers
ascii_lander: item of greatest concern is
a bent topcover latching thumb-bolt, we will not be able to work on that box until it is straightened
ascii_lander inspected cargo : not only were $boxen thoroughly pawed over ( external trunk seals popped, inside -- careful packing turned into
a ??? shambles) but some 'ears' bent
BingoBoingo: Or if you wait to get to the datacenter there's
a few different ones here in the BingoBoingo part of town.
BingoBoingo: ascii_lander: You have two locations of la heladeria la cigale near you. Roque Grassas 845 is nominally closer, but Juan Benito Blanco esq Miguel Barrio is
a straight shot from where you are at.
BingoBoingo: Quite
a few places, depends on where "here" is for you
a111: Logged on 2018-04-02 01:57 lobbes: ^^ q1 auction bot billz (slow quarter!). Mainly for accounting purposes; no rush on collecting due to eulora servers being down and the fact that the sums are
a mere 96 satoshi each
spyked: but in short, "stretched hand that doesn't tell

☟︎ spyked: and just to be clear re "economic value": the whole system of academic grants is based upon the lie that "there are enough resources to satisfy everyone". well, there aren't, tough luck. which reduces grant proposals to
a very sophisticated way of begging, i.e.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vVpsJnbq3A spyked: including zero, can pay "no concrete labour obligations", neh?). this is why academic grants and giving away \infty btc like that is such
a waste and
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-13#1798420 . and this is also why "get into business", because it puts your skin in the game and forces you to determine the value of whatever you're selling.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 20:22 zx2c4: the reason is actually, "so that i can have
a fixed income without any concrete labor obligations"

☝︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 16:21 mircea_popescu: the moment we bake in the assumption that "this is
a bitcoin node", suddenly the os is no longer gp ; we'll want
a special fs in there etc.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 16:20 mircea_popescu: now then,
a "general purpose operating system" is "that set of code which is trusted implicitly", "as long as it makes no particular assumptions about the rest of the code that will run on the machine".
lobbes: well, stick
a fork in me, I'm done
trinque: ben_vulpes: hey I just had
a vacation idea
mircea_popescu: " ben_vulpes took
a dozen hookers and
a truck of beer to the nevada desert and was never heard from again "
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-04-14 01:17 mircea_popescu: trinque you might be overdramatizing ; what, you think i've never lost
a team ? what am i, made of pure energy ? shit happens ; gotta have plans in place and move on.
mircea_popescu: "Darwin also went to The Master's College library and checked out
a stack of MacArthur's books about 18 inches high. Normally, they would not allow so many volumes to be lent out all at one time, but in this case, for some reason, they made an exception." << "they were secretly hoping he steals them"
mircea_popescu: hm. i can't help but read this passage as "on my way i got waylaid by these fellows who saw i had dough and well..." ; but then again i'm
a cynical sort.
douchebag: thats
a really secure setup it sounds like
trinque: I'll know. The thermal printer lets out
a screeeeeeee
mircea_popescu: "
A couple weeks later, I get accosted by some drunk chick who heard from
a friend that I think women shouldnt be allowed to speak. She argued with me alongside one of her friends that is, I argued some perfectly valid points, while she got increasingly beligerant; much to the friends dismay, who even expressed that I was coming off as the victUAL". jeez this guy's saturday nights!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes moreover, tbf involvement with pizarro was an investment, not
a grant. it got equity didn't it.
mircea_popescu: trinque that works also, keeps things cleaner in
a sense.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-14 01:42 mircea_popescu: whereas this, it's more
a case of carrying
a knife up your ass. it decides when and what.
trinque: naw, it's
a compliment that you'd consider doing that.
trinque: I think
a 1BTC ceiling would be
a satisfactory tolerance for loss from the hot wallet, which I would be able to eat. which is not
a promise to eat the thing's losses endlessly either, but on the airgap-wallet side I have enough confidence in the setup that my tolerance is higher.
