Framedragger: yeah that is probably true. i didn't think it was worthy of a blog post so to speak, but yeh
asciilifeform: i wouldn't bend pipe. cut, weld.
asciilifeform: i mean, we aren't thinking of submarine propeller here
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can't machine this stuff in your garage.
mircea_popescu: they don't even have the decency to alter the url. (google forcibly redirects you, because WE HAVE THIS FEATURE AND YOU MUST USE IT!!! OBAMACARE!!11)
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should be fucking thankful they don't use some EGOG charset.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is always the 'can't be arsed' theory
mircea_popescu: i don't suppose anyone else has any competing theory re their "we've been haxxed, report soon to follow. 1,2,3 <crickets>" dog and pony show last year ?
mircea_popescu: i suspect the nostalgia is a subset of "i long for the days before we started using freenode, and so it wasn't being served gagged supoenas, and so it was almost usable"
phf: asciilifeform: i'm watching it, i already have an xl1201 though. i might bid on this one for parts, but there's a lot of eyes on it. i wouldn't be surprised if it climbs to 5-7k
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1467906 << ironically, i read this in the log. i didn't have it in my own scrollback, because freenode is a pos and i lost conn. ☝︎
asciilifeform: well it wouldn't be on account of poor seal
trinque: wouldn't blow my mind that the thing is not a perfect seal
asciilifeform: but was wondering why he isn't here.
BingoBoingo: Sure, but your blog seems to be rather centered on various kitchen pests. I just assume it isn't a coincidence.
asciilifeform: (as the facility wasn't usg-blessed for the Real Deal)
BingoBoingo: Anyways permethrin doesn't really have any smell I can discern once it is dry
asciilifeform: not entirely unrelatedly, as a young man i kept 'bug spray' around, habitually, as my ancestors did; but then learned that wet/dry vac works 100% as well and doesn't create cloud of poisonous crud to breathe the rest of the day
BingoBoingo: Just because all the marketing is behind monsanto and glyphosate doesn't mean there aren't cases where a diquat is phine too.
hanbot: isn't being an exterminator an inherent part of being paid?
BingoBoingo: No culture, but that doesn't mean there can't be a fight over the absence
asciilifeform: for some reason this doesn't tickle me
asciilifeform: 'home despot' month wage wouldn't even pay my electric bill.
asciilifeform: (there will be some sort of gig i fly out to a few x/year, but hasn't yet happened)
asciilifeform: it isn't as if i found a magic well of dough, i still (imagine) do wurk
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 08:01 mircea_popescu: honestly, it's a surprise to me they haven't introduced cockcaging for us kids as of yet. for one thing, they're doing the entire fucktarded "can't drink till 21", so they definitely could. for the other thing, it'd make so much fucking sense, in the twisted psychopathy that passes for sense in the us world : kid gets a nice cage around the age of 3 or so. prevents penis from growing, which is +++. mom gives the key to a well
asciilifeform: not only hitler says he can't connect, but i can't either...
mircea_popescu: also note the "since 5 minutes ago". 46.* didn't blinl
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 11:44 a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 07:50 mircea_popescu: ftr, that butnodes thing is not terribly reliable. 91.218.246.31, 46.166.160.36, 46.166.170.208 all online talking to the public, but it "doesn't see them".
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-17#1467579 << 91* actually appears on that site's list (as of today), the other two do not - but i can't connect to them either. blackholed. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyone has any argument as to how exactly the "computer security" people aren't EXACTLY scammers ?
mircea_popescu: i guess a bureaucracy can't even be proficient in perversity.
asciilifeform: the zookeepers aren't esp. interested in education, but in... domestication

asciilifeform: well my item didn't
a111: Logged on 2016-05-16 20:46 ben_vulpes: haven't we had this thread before, of that the network is not paricularly enumerable, and with the malleability of version strings that counting them is somewhat less than pointless?
trinque: deedbot.org isn't on there, was
ben_vulpes: haven't we had this thread before, of that the network is not paricularly enumerable, and with the malleability of version strings that counting them is somewhat less than pointless? ☟︎
asciilifeform: there isn't another afaik, tho.
BingoBoingo: For some reason the won't count mine
mircea_popescu: group of girlies walking down the street, you see one you like, and talk to her. the other idiots you don't care about giggle or w/e. so ?
asciilifeform: in this case could be 10 hitlers, but we aren't tuning them in
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where on planet gossipd do we find equivalent of ' mircea_popescu and asciilifeform in a channel of 10,000 people they don't know '
mircea_popescu: and it's how things work irl, also. that they don't work that way online is because online is fucktarded beyond conception.
mircea_popescu: but if i'm not, i'll never know. the situation where i'm friends to you, and you say hi to me in a channel of 10`000 people i don't know ; and the situation where i'm friends with you and you say hi to me in a pm are identical.
asciilifeform: (you couldn't pay me to use a standard american shower head, the kind with no hose)
mircea_popescu: but these days... wtf is with the paper walls, and the attendant fire sprinklers and fire drills and whatnot ? you couldn't pay me to live in a place with firesprinklers.
mircea_popescu: seriously, wtf slum lord is that, doesn't rape the girls and whip the boys ?!
a111: Logged on 2015-10-18 14:25 mircea_popescu: so let me get this straight, you want to give people too poor to litigate, too stupid / desocialized to talk to the landlord and too scared to act the option "you can either pay 100 to the landlord as deposit or 300 to me and unlike the landlord I PROMISE to give it back (maybe), except im not anywhere near you and you can't burn my house down" ?
mircea_popescu: that if i don't say "obama is a whore's dog" over ssh, aws can't produce a correctly signed token for "mp said obama is a whore's dog" over ssh.
asciilifeform: it isn't like you aren't sitting in vm kolhoz already.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: can't see how aws could be made worse than it is by ~them giving you keypair~
asciilifeform: buf was prolly told, one way or another, 'you will invest. if you do, we will print 2x and you can have that, so long as you don't buy turkeys. if you do not, there will be problems' etc.
mircea_popescu: didn't exist during bush
asciilifeform: soooo usg finally made the old man 'offer he couldn't refuse'.
phf: i was trying to buy one of the larger buildings to renovate for company's office, they wouldn't sell. i'm sure they can make bank on condos
danielpbarron: speaking of which I've resolved to stop eating at a local cafe/brunch place because half the time they can't be arsed to use the espresso machine, sometimes claiming that it's 'broken'
mircea_popescu: it signifies you shouldn't be at the north pole.
mircea_popescu: the fact that you can't find a decent cofee house at north pole does not signify you should give up the cappuccino habit.
mircea_popescu: "women may not hold money" doesn't mean something about women. it means something about money, ie, capital is to be deployed in business not in the household.
mircea_popescu: i dunno of any country where the students don't THINK ustardians live like in "friends".
mircea_popescu: landlord can't show the house, his job to fix that. if he can show the house, you're taking pix.
mircea_popescu: now something like a111 would run on an "observer" node, which is to say with the rule that it doesn't publish/pass lines not reported by the putative author. because those constitute...gossip.
mircea_popescu: and there's sure as fuck no way for u4 to prove to u* that u2 insulted u1's mom, or didn't.
mircea_popescu: at which point u1 can verify that HE didn't get the A5 or the A9. And he couldn't care less that it's a "network problem" or intentional withholding, much like MPEx doesn't gas what proxies do or don't do on the way.
mircea_popescu: actually, let me go into detail, why the hell not. ("because derps stalk the logs for examples of how x doesn't understand y" "and ?" "myeah.") ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway. messages should be ordered by protocol, through the fact you can't decrypt the latter without the former.
asciilifeform: (i don't know of one)
mircea_popescu: can't believe how much hanbot 's shirt bothered teh free & teh brave interneteer community.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't ever speak to the PRINCIPLE of the cellar, however. it's always a discussion of the circumstances of the house.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-15#1466633 << there's nothing wrong with this "argumentum ad meta" per se. it's like two people, call them vincent and jules, riding down the street, and discussing whether houses they pass have or haven't a cellar. in principle, any house may or may not have one, and in principle one may be larger than an airport lot or large enough for http://65.media.tumblr.com/85c5637a36c690fa13df1d1f6042a96 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-15#1466760 << disappeared ? << Didn't load, hence lulz ☝︎
mircea_popescu: you don't argue uphill with a dumbass. you just smack him now and again.
mod6: <+shinohai> just as a backup at least cuz i love t so much << ok no worries then, just wanna ensure we're not duplicating work and what not.
mod6: someone drops in their vpatch somewhere, it verifies that it doesn't have to be rebased, then spins up an instance somewhere and builds the full orchastra, and then runs tests against it.
shinohai: just as a backup at least cuz i love t so much
mircea_popescu: anyway, review the woman's record, she smells like a fixed up wonder from a mile away. "you can't fix the champ", sez rod steiger. she never lost... to anyone outside of the tops.
asciilifeform: it is almost at the level of postulate, that folks who have dirigible are those who don't need.
mircea_popescu: maybe you don't need a dirigible ?
mircea_popescu: hanging, what's that, couldn't find someone that'd care enough ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well yes. but i don't expect you'd do this in the bedroom, it's bad for the brain.
asciilifeform: eh they didn't choke, they strangled
mircea_popescu: as phf says, "it's nice to make an effort to see the competent are accidentally included". there's no promise there, nor can be. the only promise is that the shitheads won't long survive.
mircea_popescu: the notion that meritocracy means "EVERY meritous individual" gets a place is buluceala out and out, and has nothing to do with meritocracy. such a socialist rewriting of the concept is an insult to humanity in the first place ; but to sit and wonder why the cardboard cut "in the shape of a car" and with car written on it doesn't take you places... c;mon.
mircea_popescu: mply "it's undemocratic and therefore bad" or "it's unrepresentative and therefore evil". Reality doesn't work that way."
mircea_popescu: this view may even be correct ; but then their inability to maintain abundant, loyal whores is very striking. it's such an obvious point of failure, after all. but hey, not that i don't understand them - the whore will kneel lovingly, but not before every idiot. and being a self-indulgent idiot is so much... easier... and nicer... and pushing yourself so... hmm... is it even compatible with the dignity of warrior ? ain't that
mircea_popescu: you certainly can't put later lines in if earlier lines are missing, that's asking for black eyes.
phf: i personally prefer logs to be accidentally realtime, but with stronger correctness guarantees, so it's down for a bit, but there's no message loss. otherwise we have a new jersey solution of "check that a111 is in chan before you say things that you don't want lost"
a111: Logged on 2016-05-15 10:32 davout: phf: log doesn't appear to sync properly
mircea_popescu: at least it won't make alf feel too alone.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, looking forward to more "{Security researchers|IT specialists|Computer experts} with {University of Derp in Derpistan|USG.RedHat.Whatever|The HTTPS Internet} published {Literotica|Fetlife|OkCupid|Ask.fm|Phuctor|whatever} {database|userlist|secret excel codebase} publicly! We don't have a copy because we don't believe in things, we prefer names."
mircea_popescu: but perhaps if you're esl, "made public" means "made privately available to some people who aren't us" or something. god knows everything else means something else, so what the hell's the difference.
davout: phf: log doesn't appear to sync properly ☟︎
asciilifeform: guess they didn't want to become a ru bombardment-prior-to-launch zone
asciilifeform: ain't no winblowz on mips. not since nt 4 anyway
a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 19:41 mircea_popescu: mental health, i mean. the problem of "coffin liners" that asciilifeform discussed in the log is the direct counter to this. if they don't catch their death of cold, they lose track of themselves. this is not good.
BingoBoingo: More too the point can't swim in the real ponds because couldn't avoid ruining them. Can't smart enough for civilized chemical fest pool. Y Not fake pond?
