BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell cazalla_ Server ran away. My backups were incomplete in
the comment area. Merry X-mas
to you
too.
trinque: thestringpuller: likely munged it when doing
that
thestringpuller: also i had
to scrub
the newlines cause my system kept being all '\r' command not found!
trinque: can also do
that with vim if you prefer, or w/e else
trinque: thestringpuller:
the script had dos line endings, which is why in recent logs I mentioned running it
through dos2unix
thestringpuller: mod6: dunno if it's just my system but my system is interpreting
the script all weird like...
shinohai: qt is just a bloated monstrosity. I love
trb even more because it lacks any part of it.
trinque: moreover, easy-to-use is a much more subjective/arbitrary notion
than
the complexity of
the
thing, which is greatly reduced by having removed
the GUI.
trinque: linton_s_dawson: my grep -Ri 'qt' . in
the src directory suggests everyone does have
to use cli.
thestringpuller: because I was fell out of a grocery cart onto my head as a child I keep getting
this error with mod6 's script: ": No such file or directory"
shinohai: You are more
than welcome
to develop something better.
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.
☟︎ linton_s_dawson: ascii_field: I figured. It doesn't mean
that everyone has
to use CLI and plug-and-plays are not needed at all.
linton_s_dawson: Maybe
the BitSeed guys need
to be more flexible with
the clients
they install on
their HW nodes. I'll reach out
to
them.
ascii_field: thestringpuller: be grateful
that you don't have
to modular-exponentiate by hand.
☟︎ 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.
☟︎ assbot: We wish you a merry christmas and a lot of dead people next year, preferably killed by our products.
thanks for choosing us ... (

tell BingoBoingo y u delete muh star wars comment from qntra? censorship! need
to put qntra on a blockchain obv :P << i
think it got deleted in
the qntra restore. I highly enjoyed
that comment
though. Everyone complainin' bout spoilers all srs like at work all fucking day. Come home
to read
the comment, damn I was in
tears. Miss you cazalla.
ascii_field: so
this is a subject of some interest
to me.
ascii_field: and yes, i see colours. and 120Hz flicker is still flicker
to me. and no amount of it makes it go away.
ascii_field: (and not interested in ANY less
than 2560x1600 MOTHERFUCKING ADDRESSABLE RGBs either)
jurov: i have used interlaced CRT daily for years, i believe
that did
the
trick
ascii_field: wanted
to buy something
that isn't heavy, like battering ram
punkman: and barely anyone
talks about
these in specs
jurov: well... either you pay several
times for stuff or detrain your neurons
ascii_field: wtf
THERE IS NOT AN ADDRESSABLE BLUE FOR EVERY COORDINATE
jurov: it
takes very pathological case, such as yellow background for it
to be detectable
jurov: and srs, what distance do you use? i can use
the pentile display from over half meter away exactly because i have good eyes
ascii_field: except
that in
the end, 'real
thing' ends up costing 10x as much as previously, once
the crap flood hits, and shortly - vanishes entirely
jurov: you'll be
the first
to complain if
the
treal
thing costs 2-3x as much
ascii_field: but
this is a classic case of 'this
thing
that is actually half
the
thing you
thought you were paying for is JUST AS GOOD AND SHUDDUP'
ascii_field: or if you have congenitally impaired sense organs -
then perhaps also yes
ascii_field: if you grew up in new york sewers,
then yes
ascii_field: srsly
this is like 'vegetable oil cheese
tastes just like real cheese' in usa
jurov: if you're reading b&w
text, it's completely fine
ascii_field: resulting image, if you're reading
text (vs masturbating
to video) looks like an old newsprint
ascii_field: 'pentile' (patented by womanz in
tech!1111, yes!) shares subpixels, allowing device makers
to lie about res
ascii_field tried
to buy 'nyooo! improooved!'
tablet gadget and found
that
the pentile pixel scam is pestilentially universal
ascii_field: i'm currently not entirely satisfied with my (experimental) implementation of
this
ascii_field: it pretty much has
to be compiled in at
the lowest possible level of abstractio
jurov: not
that, verifying packet signatures and
the like
jurov: linux has now scriptable firewall(nftables) , maybe we end up hooking
to
that. but database with persistent storage is afaik not
there yet
punkman: well everything needs
to be written specifically for bitcoin
ascii_field: personally i'm interesting in items which make kernelization ~easier~ rather
than harder (the latter from, e.g., requiring mmap)
ascii_field: but imho
the db
thing needs
to be a simple mechanism written specifically for bitcoin
☟︎ ascii_field: or anything
that assumes
there being enough ram
to adequately cache disk
ascii_field: has problem with anything
that doesn't behave well when ram-starved

tell BingoBoingo y u delete muh star wars comment from qntra? censorship! need
to put qntra on a blockchain obv :P
ascii_field: my last full shift in
this $field incidentally.
assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 18:19:33;
thestringpuller: ascii_field: what are you doing on
the field
the day before xmas?
assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 18:07:22; mircea_popescu: ascii_field
the problem with other hypothesis being
that i connected it
to your nodes.
trinque: cazalla_: same
to you;
take care

☟︎☟︎ shinohai: trinque is
tired of
teh shit
today it appears
assbot: Successfully updated
the rating for liquidassets from 1
to -1 with note: continues
to babble
trinque: !rate liquidassets -1 continues
to babble
liquidassets: mircea_popescu
turned me into an animal, an animal I kind of like
thestringpuller: ascii_field: what are you doing on
the field
the day before xmas?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, off
to a meeting, we'll delve into
this later on.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
the problem with other hypothesis being
that i connected it
to your nodes.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: when it comes
to node communication, half a second delay is
too much
ascii_field: about half of
the 4MB rotor bin is openssl crud
ascii_field: without identity, anti-dos measures are simply buttons which usg can push
to make you disconnect a friend.
ascii_field: these are absolutely necessary if nodes are
to have identity (which is a must if we want
to have node ranking)
ascii_field: none of
this is
to say
that we don't need node authentication & crypto
ascii_field: human nodes
time out, disconnect, get replaced by... moar hogs
ascii_field: a 'hog' (typically from aws) connects and repeatedly requests ancient
txen
ascii_field: but
the way it is done is much simpler
than i imagined
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 20:08:33; asciilifeform: so at
this point i'm pretty certain where 'black hole' comes from.
assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 17:29:04; mircea_popescu: aaand in other news,
the new rotor has been mightily blackholed since last night (the usual array described here multiple
times), it's got ~20k blocks
through in a day or so.
assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 17:32:23; mircea_popescu: rsa, sadly, wouldn't really work for
this application
mircea_popescu: notably,
this only conceivably works because, obviously,
the blocks are communicated plain. we definitely should have internode encryption.
mircea_popescu: would make sense,
too, as part of a wider strategy
to murder
the blockchain.
mircea_popescu: it appears
to me asciilifeform
that
the way
the blackholing works is as an interdiction
to communicating old blocks.

☟︎ thestringpuller: And I'm like "WTF. Who
the fuck is going
to underwrite
those contracts when even
the
trustworthy don't want
to deal with it?!?"
thestringpuller: just other day some derp was like "We'll just short
the bitcoin market if it doesn't fork
the way we want."
