asciilifeform: in the old-fashioned, meatspace, dunbar sense.
asciilifeform: ideally, guard is one of the residents, who take turns on checkpoint duty.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and HOW does he know them.
phf: i gather as much from elsewhere in the logs
asciilifeform: anyone else has to sit in a cage and get 'buzzed in.'
asciilifeform: the way this works best is that the guard knows everyone who belongs inside the wire, by face.
mircea_popescu: <phf> asciilifeform: why did you go with a separate keys folder instead of relying on existing pubring? << more calmly explained, because pgp is marked for death. we're working deliberately towards replacing it.
mircea_popescu: if it were as simple as orc = black we'd have long exterminated the blacks and be living in paradise
asciilifeform: ask the israelis
mircea_popescu: "oh, forger the hard problems involved while i focus on painting the fence! that'll do it!"
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is the landmine going to identify them!
mircea_popescu: you seem to be of the same persuasion of the good folk making "bitpurse.io".
asciilifeform: phf: try aircraft carrier
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 21:20:00; mircea_popescu: how'd that work danielpbarron ?
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-10-2015#1296471 << i have the only altar and the only sacrifice-giving skill item; whoever would agree to be my apprentice would use my altar with my ingredients and give me all the loot, and in return they would get the experience ☝︎
phf: biggest disappointment of visiting northrop grumman one time-- no auto-turrets. i thought surely there if nowhere else.
asciilifeform: i hear that not-breeding-them-in-the-first-place also worked great
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform like what other ways ? you're not willing to spend 12 hours a day beating them
mod6: asciilifeform: <+mod6> Ok while I work on this for a while, I'll pull that bundle down. Should have one up sometime in the next few days to a week.
asciilifeform: betcha there is such an edition.
phf: i guess that's kind of like seeing conan the barbarian cover on beowulf
asciilifeform: just like the ubiquitous sherlock holmes with the funny hat and misshapen pipe
phf: or that there's wire to begin with, or that he has a fur hat, or some semblance of warm clothes. or the "sharapov and the bandit part 5" style of print
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-10-2015#1296461 << dead link ☝︎
asciilifeform: in the fine tradition of sf cover art, where the artist must never, under any circumstances, know anything at all about the inside of the book.
asciilifeform: what's ridiculous? that he's standing right next to the wire? sure.
phf: by the way i stopped by some russian bookstore on the way to saunas and spotted this utterly ridiculous shalamov cover http://static.ozone.ru/multimedia/books_covers/1011527549.jpg. i don't even.
asciilifeform: 'dlp' (mems array) with laser illumination. less than 1k usd when it was new.
asciilifeform: has none of these issues.
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 21:31:08; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform>had standard lcd. but the latter do not resemble the machines i have previously used having such << speaing of which, i went to a local cinema yest. place tries real hard to be us like. they had digital projector. not only were the pixels visible with naked eye from middle of room, but
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-10-2015#1296476 << lulzy, the one i have at home, apparently, is better ☝︎
asciilifeform: atm nobody knows precisely their mass.
phf: for fair comparison therealbitcoin loc should include relevant openssl bits
asciilifeform: for comparison, therealbitcoin is < 700kB
asciilifeform: because tards.
phf: actually yeah. i was always curious why "trust system" that presumably is baked into keyrings is different from signing the key with your sig
asciilifeform: i cannot even begin to fathom the kind of retardation that produced 'keyrings'.
asciilifeform: that this was not done, is one of 1,001 atrocities
asciilifeform: pgp verification ought to be invoked 'gpg --verify pubkey payload'
asciilifeform: a ring, if it is to be tolerated, is a dir I CREATED DELIBERATELY full of pubkeys IN STANDARD FORMAT
asciilifeform: (how do you know what keys you ended up with, if you do this ?!!!!111)
asciilifeform: fetching wot automagically defeats the very purpose of using pgp
asciilifeform: this is the kind of thing i was afraid of when first contemplating automating any of this
asciilifeform: wot is to be populated MANUALLY
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 23:39:50; mod6: One can do this for sure. The idea was, if the user just has the scrpit, and nothing else, they could sync all the latest wots/seals/vpatches from a mirror. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 23:38:25; mircea_popescu: (which is why i'm kinda chuckling to myself every time alf goes on a rant about teh rent bezzle. sure, it sucks. imagine a world without it.)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-10-2015#1296513 << the rent bezzle solves a problem, yes. which could be solved in other ways. ☝︎
mod6: Ok while I work on this for a while, I'll pull that bundle down. Should have one up sometime in the next few days to a week.
mod6: ok makes sense. i'll work on that bit of it.
mod6: ah. ok. i see. so let the user populate the wots on their own, other stuff, no prob. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: then you no longer have the bootstrapping problem you were disucssing earlier.
mod6: it is not required to do that, one can just populate the stuff by hand, ofc.
mircea_popescu: see, the idea being that pubkey gotta be a special category.
mod6: the pubkeys, the seals and the vpatches
mod6: no, it sync's stuff from the mirror via wget, currently
mircea_popescu: but these are two diff things, the v sync (of code) and the pubkey part.
mod6: how will the secure population of the pubkey dir work? just by pulling keys manually or is this an automated function?
mod6: hmm. well, i can take all of the sync stuff out for sure. will reduce a ton of code.
mircea_popescu: mmm i don't think that's either intended functionality or a good idea.
mod6: One can do this for sure. The idea was, if the user just has the scrpit, and nothing else, they could sync all the latest wots/seals/vpatches from a mirror. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: to run v in the first place one's supposed to provide a populated pubkeys dir.
mircea_popescu: mod6 why is this a bootstrapping problem anyway ?
mircea_popescu: (which is why i'm kinda chuckling to myself every time alf goes on a rant about teh rent bezzle. sure, it sucks. imagine a world without it.) ☟︎
mod6: I guess I could just not print who signed the mirrors. Leave the mirror list sigs in place on the server, and they can be checked later by hand if anyone wants. but i kinda like how it shows who signed it.
mircea_popescu: the concept of unaffordable housing chiefly exists on this earth to keep women pliable and young derps out of the pool.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, younger. for the other thing, much less of a bitch.
mircea_popescu: why not ? much better to fuck women that need affordable housing than women thart don't.\
ben_vulpes: everyone wants affordable housing, they just don't want to house people who need affordable housing anywhere near themselves.
mod6: will have to think on that a bit. :]
mod6: hmm. chicken/egg type of problem, maybe not so simple. if one wants to check the signed mirrors before init, how can sigs be checked from wot if no wot yet exists.
ben_vulpes: trinque: you might find it amusing that now that the rains have moved in, Hinson is holding a series of neighborhood meetings to figure out "what to do" about colonel summers.
mod6: found a bug. will fix on next time posted. for now; after `./v.pl init http://thebitcoin.foundation` is run, run `./v.pl w` to ensure all of the WoT's get imported to the keyring.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> the entire operation's profit plan for the forseeable future is to increase the forced obsolescence rate and drive down the number of atoms and fab processes in the whole thing while charging ever more. << and even so it won't be able to keep up with inflation.
phf: kakobrekla: i didn't have any expectations, i didn't know anything about it until half hour before. one of the people who invited me walked out half way through and the other one appologized.
assbot: It's like an involuntary tic or a really boring form of Tourette's ... ( http://bit.ly/1jXEZED )
mircea_popescu: it hit all the dumb spots, it could stand as a two hour summary of "this is a full description of how these imbeciles are imbeciles"
mircea_popescu: this thing (baires) was an INCREDIBLE collection of the stupideology of argentinians.
phf: disapointed though, that you can't just drive your sit to get popcorn and coke. have to walk.
phf: went to a movie theater to see The Martian. i only ever watch movies when in-wot recommend something enough, so i didn't realize how bad a movie can be, and this was one of the worst movies i've ever seen. snl "you can do anything" skit done with a straightface.. in space! but anyway, they've replaced all the regular rows, with reclining sits, and you can push the button for the sit to recline. i was ☟︎
ben_vulpes: the entire operation's profit plan for the forseeable future is to increase the forced obsolescence rate and drive down the number of atoms and fab processes in the whole thing while charging ever more.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: 'lcds' << apple SOP. watch exists to maintain price point of late model pn0hes, which exist to prop price point of new pn0hes, which exist to prop price point of the *cheap* craptop...
mircea_popescu: in other news, http://40.media.tumblr.com/1843b7f9b3044d65b6f6e83f9f663465/tumblr_ngpkg23or21tcv3gao1_1280.jpg << good tits are a thing.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea how they imagine the pos digital projector can compete with a 1950s soviet thing that went around the villages to show propaganda shorts.
mircea_popescu: if things moved < 5% it was clear, if faster than that holy blur on a shitstick!
mircea_popescu: the fucking scannig speed of that thing. omfg.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform>had standard lcd. but the latter do not resemble the machines i have previously used having such << speaing of which, i went to a local cinema yest. place tries real hard to be us like. they had digital projector. not only were the pixels visible with naked eye from middle of room, but ☟︎
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> anyways, the notion that the us courts have the mandate to execute people or have any other stort of effect on the world is long past its sell by date << word.
mircea_popescu: or that there's more examples of this pinnacle of lulz than there are "scientists" drawing breath at any given time.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> folks familiar with usg 'scientocracy' will laugh, but the fact is, the mind-reading box does not necessarily have to... work. to be put in use. << right right. cholesterol is bad for you except its good for you and salt is bad except its good and hey, as long as they got "science" what difference does it make that they're 100% consensused on opposite things every 30 years. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: how'd that work danielpbarron ? ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 18:15:21; mircea_popescu: this is the sunday psa that eulora needs more noobs.
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-10-2015#1296362 << I am interested in taking on a n00b as an apprentice in sacrificing for the purpose of hopefully getting some overcraft loot ☝︎
mod6: (Hint: Please rtfm at least one of the guides before anyone says "Doesnt work!")
assbot: How a secret Chinese military drug based on an ancient herb won the Nobel Prize - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1jXDoi3 )
mod6: Ok, so I've posted my version of V for some review before it goes to the ML. Inside the archive you'll find a `v.pl', `v_quick_start.txt', and `v_users_manual.txt' - and each with a corresponding sig.
asciilifeform: my other thought was that it is even possible that both variants used physically-identical components and the cheaper one was somehow crippled in software.
asciilifeform: but instead to prod people to the costlier 'high res' variant
asciilifeform: my first thought was that these are not intended to actually sell
asciilifeform: there was a row of apple portables, and some had high-res lcd (sold as 'retina' trade name) while others had standard lcd. but the latter do not resemble the machines i have previously used having such; instead, they were atrocious, with what looked like triangular pixels, dithering visible to the naked eye;
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, today i went into a shop and saw a type of chumpatronic contrivance for which i do not know the name:
