asciilifeform: !#s reddit
asciilifeform: posting to reddit is close to a guaranteed waste of time .
asciilifeform: curious, what's it mean 'on reddit'. i've an ancient and mostly disused acct there, what of it
asciilifeform: fromloper: hello ?
asciilifeform: !!up fromloper
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-18#1752954 << earlier. ☝︎
asciilifeform: come to think of it, the specimen in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-30#1761039 thread, was typical. ☝︎
asciilifeform: in both cases -- unforgivably!111 -- sans usg ads
asciilifeform: cranking out, respectively, unauthorized salsa, or the one trooo word of the saviour (tm)(r), etc
asciilifeform: typically a puerto rican, or other orc, with rooftop aerial, good for 5-10km ; in rare cases, a 'darwinfish' church type
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: or possibly the ordinary bureaucratic tunnel vision ( ~100% of 'pirate' of commercial interest to usa 'music' cartels lives precisely in the 'plebe fm' range specified )
asciilifeform: 'The term pirate radio broadcasting means the transmission of communications on spectrum frequencies between 535 to 1705 kHz or 87.7 to 108 MHz without a license issued by the Federal Communications Commission' << very peculiarly doesn't mention the rest of the spectrum
asciilifeform: i could've sworn there was a trilema re subj. quite related to http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-28#1838071 , imho. ☝︎
asciilifeform: hmm
asciilifeform: !#s ortega y gasset
asciilifeform reread recently, a+++
asciilifeform: naively one could imagine that there's a market niche for a lappy that isn't a piece of shit. but evidently..
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform's pet has a early-2000s crapple that's on its 4th lcd hv cable )
asciilifeform: phf: i associate this kind of thing specifically with crapple . i guess other vendors finally catching up!111
asciilifeform: phf: lol!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i gather, these folx inhabit a self-complete leprosorium, with 'rational', non-draconic 'explanation' for erry possible misfortune
asciilifeform: 'what dragon, it was cosmic rays' i imagine.
asciilifeform: ahahahalolk
asciilifeform: relatedly, any of the megablox crapola still running ? or all evaporated nao like last yr's snow
asciilifeform: apparently africa still not done digesting the null from the 'summer of shitforks' escapade.
asciilifeform found the pg by accident while digging for something entirely else, but somewhat disappointed nao, apparently lulz directorate produced 0 new idea since '16
asciilifeform: 'You clearly perceive immutability as Bitcoin's most important aspect, but others feel that decentralisation is the more important quality ... I don't know how you expect to maintain a decentralised system when the only participants are the limited number of fruitcakes running the 0.5.4 client' << gold.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathendom archaeology, https://archive.is/FIxZc >> 'exists just for the crazed fundamentalists' << didjaknow.

asciilifeform: jurov: any gpg bug , even in the sad 2.x , is potentially very interesting. i'd like to learn what happened .
asciilifeform: also why is decrypt_message even called ? there's no encryption in the loop
asciilifeform: ugh
asciilifeform: interesting
asciilifeform: jurov: what do you get if you try and verify by hand with that same gpg ? ( and incidentally, which gpg is it )
asciilifeform bbl
asciilifeform: asciilifeform in favour of lending it to e.g. smg , in hour of need
asciilifeform: btw there is still a cold spare in the rack ( s.nsa spare )
asciilifeform: mod6: let's make this tomorrow, i'm about to fall down, gotta sleep
asciilifeform: ( unlike the smg units )
asciilifeform: mod6: dulap is a colo, recall, it wasn't sold
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: ( or see also mircea_popescu's seven dwarves story, similar. )
asciilifeform: *YOU
asciilifeform: oblig su joak : division commander notices that maxim gun emplacement has fallen silent. he walks over , 'comrade gunner, why is your maxim silent' gunner : 'comrade lieutenant, i've run through my belt' lieutenant : 'BUT YOUR ARE A COMMUNIST!' ... the maxim promptly begins to chatter again !
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: that being said, history knows cases where officer in short-handed unit picked up rifle and engaged .
asciilifeform: right, i dun disagree
asciilifeform: ^ if anybody recalls this thread, plox to link
asciilifeform: it went approx like this, iirc some time in 2016 : asciilifeform : 'if quality slavegurlz can be trained to do anything , mircea_popescu couldja spare 1 or 2 for ada battallion ' mircea_popescu : 'hell no, why would i waste any on such a thing; what next, i will ask asciilifeform to do field work detail in their place ? ' ☟︎
asciilifeform exhausted the current allotment of cycles to dredge up the $thread , perhaps will turn up later when i remember the correct hooks
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at current rate of interrupts, 2-3/month . but yes, will have to be optimized.
asciilifeform: ah ty mod6
asciilifeform: hmm
asciilifeform: ( and iirc we already have a thread in the l0gz where mircea_popescu 'they could! be trained to do technical works but i would not waste prime chix on soul-rotting butugychag' , so no particular reason to review unless mircea_popescu feels like )
asciilifeform: ( to asciilifeform it is opaque )
asciilifeform: i'ma have to take mircea_popescu's word for it re the diff b/w the 2 chix
asciilifeform: right
asciilifeform: elementarily , the critters for whom the field does not today provide , are nowhere to be seen.
asciilifeform: theoretically yes. and hey, the nigerians took it to a high art in the '90s.
asciilifeform: aa
asciilifeform: i was speaking of the 'the offensively stupid poor. The costs of the strategic mistake of dealing with them' item
asciilifeform: aa this yes
asciilifeform: ty BingoBoingo . mod6 plox to confirm exact time.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i read the 'how things have changed' piece and from the opening 'Six years ago that was even correct ; but meanwhile consider' expected a 'seawater uranium mining nao +ev' but turns out nope ; moar hieroglyphic sluts ? or what am i missing
asciilifeform: ^ 1st time i've seen historic firing squad clip ~with scrolling credits~
asciilifeform: meanwhile in vintage flondors, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs0jXa9u-a0
asciilifeform: that's pretty much it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: controlled techno-regress (e.g. in this case, from alphabets to hieroglyphs) is a perennial obsession among the jwz folx , the same people want to mandate earth latrines instead of watercloset, BingoBoingo's butane cycle fridge , etc. notion being, i suspect, 'wind back the clock to when we mattered'
asciilifeform: nuts.
asciilifeform: 'Unicode Character 'FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY' (U+1F602)' ftr.
asciilifeform: 'Okay, thanks for your honesty U+1F602' << lol!!
asciilifeform: very limited damage can be done by sheer ineptitude from a mp-wp , afaik .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if your pet can operate a mp-wp, can use, why not
asciilifeform: this box will become arm64 cuntoo pilot.
asciilifeform: then , BingoBoingo : plox to power down rk 'A' and insert its stick into dulap , for reimaging, when subscr expires ☟︎
asciilifeform: aite
asciilifeform: mod6: relatedly , douchebag's subscription ( purchased by mircea_popescu ) also expires end of month iirc
asciilifeform: mats is not only pizarro customer , but also collecting phuctor fodder ( btw mats , lemme know when ready , it can go in same day )
asciilifeform: 'the moving finger writes, and having writ...' or how did it go.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-24#1837479 << fwiw i've never deleted on my www ( tho i do have several articles marked 'this is obsolete, see $neweritem' ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-24#1837472 << fwiw d00d updated his article; tho i admit i'm still puzzled ☝︎
asciilifeform: will admit, the only psychiatric model that makes half a sense to asciilifeform , re subj, is 'i'ma put hand in woodchipper to spite mother, that'll show' etc
asciilifeform: in ru sphere great term for this type of 'independent', незалежная [Украина] , actual ukr word, but has taken on this specific flavour in erryday conv
asciilifeform: ah, found http://trilema.com/2013/the-story-of-pointless-and-witless/ << subj
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where was that woodchipper trilema
asciilifeform: then again forkologists are generally harmless idjits ( in effect give away btc for phree ) , while prb purveyors actively aid & comfort the enemy
asciilifeform: i fughet exactly what. iirc was something so monumentally braindamaged that nobody in his right mind would take seriously even as joke ( had, e.g. decaying coins )
asciilifeform: iirc Funkenstein remains the unbeaten recordsman there ( operated, at least at 1 point, a shitfork based on cribbed trb )
asciilifeform: a+++ trololol, eh. i'm almost surprised he didn't go with the shitforks, for extra spice.
asciilifeform mildly curious what the man has to say for himself, will give him coupla days before re-rating
asciilifeform: !Q later tell shinohai really, prb??
asciilifeform: ( for bonus lulz : luke_jr's variant . )
asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://btcinfo.sdf.org/blog/bitcoin-knots-restored-as-the-default-upstream-ebuild.html << shinohai endorses prb...
asciilifeform: but lessee what trinque says.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: iirc all that remains for trinque to do re cuntoo is to integrate ave1's gnat into portage; and properly mirror the tarballs
