assbot: You need to specify one nick.
mircea_popescu: who's this guy anyway ?
assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 22:38:37; linton_s_dawson: If something ca be done in an easy-to-use manner, it should be done. I'm aware of the "if you're too lazy to learn you don't deserve it" logic but I don't completely agree with it. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell linton_s_dawson http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2015#1351365 <<< /me supports this. ☝︎

assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 22:25:35; linton_s_dawson: Anyone running thebitcoin.foundation client on a Raspberry Pi 2? I'd like to assemble a node and see if the Pi is a good idea.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell linton_s_dawson http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2015#1351345 << not anyone afaik. theoretically speaking it wouldn't likely work too well yet - not enough resources on the pi to be a real node. nevertheless, as a didactic / research sort of project rather than something to go in production trying would be interesting, if for nothing else then because nobody;s tried it yet. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: ironically, i suppose both the impairment and the sewer comments apply. life!
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2015#1351296 << aww, i guess it does huh. listen, i'm not saying you should be forced to use it. just... i happen to like old newsprint. and the scent of gasoline. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2015#1351282 << am i a bad person if i actually prefer the upper version ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: well... the drinking part anyway.
mircea_popescu: on the downwind of a sort of irish wake.
ben_vulpes: you're full of spunk tonight
assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 19:58:01; ascii_field: but imho the db thing needs to be a simple mechanism written specifically for bitcoin
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2015#1351265 << this is probably true, but you know... gotta comprehend the data structures before this can be, gotta cut out a whole lotta crud out of the pastabowl before THAT can be, and so on. ☝︎
mircea_popescu is reasonably impressed. had ben_vulpes pegged for "this guy's managed to put himself in a texbook model of a place where guys crack". ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i suspect maintaining that java/c layer would be more expensive than just beating adequate performance out of sqlite was ☟︎

assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 19:50:53; ascii_field: it was the reason phuctor was sloooooooooooow
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2015#1351253 << in fairness, sqlite works for all usecases that aren't this. or that. or in general. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: this is the problem of having a trb in the first place : the temptation to assume it's sane is just too great.
assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 19:47:18; ascii_field: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2015#1351210 << didja '-connect' it ? or '-addnode' ? because the latter is 'merely suggestion'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2015#1351243 << aww fuck. i forgot that stupidity's still in there. ☝︎

ben_vulpes: armor -- most poorly-named flag in the history of nix tools.
mircea_popescu: goes in the summary header of "gpg is a pos".
ben_vulpes: i must be the last person to have figured this out or something.
ben_vulpes: 'cause i'm looking at 2 text files with different shasum 256's and the precise same text except for linefeeds
ben_vulpes: and whitespace on linefeeds in between blocks of text in signed files?
ben_vulpes: is it old news that gnupg dgaf about linefeed types?
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/continut-platit-no-more/#comment-116065 << that beautyon fellow is giving occasion to a very satisfying convo. ☟︎

asciilifeform: '19 nuclear reactors are in operation, with 2 more supposedly under construction. And this is in a country whose economy is in free-fall and is set to approach that of Mali or Burundi! The nuclear fuel for these reactors was being supplied by Russia. An effort to replace the Russian supplier with Westinghouse failed because of quality issues leading to an accident.'

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2015/12/on-19th-day-of-christmas.html << add the 19 ukr fission plants to list-of-thing-you're-no-longer-down-wind-of ☟︎☟︎
thestringpuller: i had a friend who did that for many years at mcaffee
asciilifeform: phf: nah, usually particular to malware
asciilifeform: also a great many firms that do reversing for no-questions-asked-mostly-usg
phf: so kind of like "we have this system we don't know how it works but we need to get the data out"
phf: oh right that would be part of ediscovery
asciilifeform: also some firms that deal in 'discovery' (legal term)
phf: who typically looks for services like that besides alphabet agencies and antivirus companies?
asciilifeform: mats: if you were to move to mordor, there is a cataclysmic undersupply of reversers
