ascii_field: anton_osika: i cannot help you even ~if~ i wanted
to.
trinque: shinohai:
the handbook is a piece of shit
shinohai: Helped me wrap my head around
the build steps.
shinohai: trinque is
the man for making
that script. It made more sense
to me
than
the mountain of info from
the official site.
thestringpuller: well I did
that recently, slackware was neat back int he 90's
ascii_field: notice
that NOTHING stops anybody from going
to
the scrapyard, digging up a pentium-ii, and booting up, e.g., prehistoric slackware on it.
trinque: right,
that's a hell of an exercise ball
ascii_field: trinque: my understanding is
that mircea_popescu would like a linux
that is analogous
to what we did with
therealbitcoin. where
the
tree is frozen, all arguably-superfluous
things are jettisoned, and any further changes must come from wot folk.
☟︎ trinque: gives you what
the livecd has
trinque: ascii_field: yeah,
that is
the rub; you have
to have all modules built and an initrd
that
tries
to load
them all
ascii_field: trinque:
thing is, if it doesn't do x11 on ARBITRARY DISPLAY
then it WON'T be my workstation. but if it DOES do x11,
then it is not shitgnomery-proof
trinque: the funny business is all in simple
things like partitioning and installing
the bootloader, pieces I bet could be lifted from debian's installer
ascii_field: shinohai:
this is not what mircea_popescu was asking for
ascii_field: ~i~ can.
trinque apparently can. mircea_popescu iirc was not able
to. and hanbot also did not.
☟︎ ascii_field: trinque: one can build a working gentoo, yes. on certain hardware, and if
the gods smile on you
trinque: you can still build a sane gentoo
these days
trinque: ascii_field | kakobrekla: mircea_popescu's implication was
that it ought
to be a sane continuation of what gentoo once was (a linux for literate folks
to use) << danielpbarron was able
to produce something with my script
ascii_field: shinohai: what do you actually expect from such a
thing ?
ascii_field: this, incidentally, is ~the~ bar for formalization. IFF you can do it on a computer,
then ~possibly~ you really have a formal handle on
the mechanics. but NOT before
then.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 04:54:13; mircea_popescu:
there's going
to have
to be a bisection and it's hard work, of
the "do not bother me for
three days" sort.
thestringpuller: interesting side note: it makes it easy
to erase
technology from
the face of
the earth if constructed
this way...i.e. sr-71
ascii_field: as in, if you got one as a birthday gift, it would be good for perhaps one or
two sorties, if
that.
thestringpuller: wish i could find
that
thread you spoke on about how modern jet production is inaccessible
to non USG-tied entities.
thestringpuller: so do most
things, how do you rip out
the
tumor without killing
the patient?
ascii_field: thing is,
the kernel per se has cancer and leprosy
thestringpuller: yea
that's prob why all
the cool kids were using Arch Linux in school
thestringpuller: sounds like something
those anti-systemd forkers of debian would get behind
ascii_field: something
that, were it
to exist, would let #b-a folks set
the bozo bit on
the rest of
the so-called linux komyooniti
☟︎ ascii_field: rather
than a special-purpose item like rotor
ascii_field: kakobrekla: mircea_popescu's implication was
that it ought
to be a sane continuation of what gentoo once was (a linux for literate folks
to use)
kakobrekla: it comes down
to
the question if
the 'bitcoin distro' is suppose
to handle blockchain (and
thus be connected via dangerwire)
ascii_field: kakobrekla,
thestringpuller: go buy pdp-11 on ebay, use.
assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 04:52:47; mircea_popescu:
there's gotta be a complete bitcoin distro. kernel and all.
ascii_field: why would anyone use 'symphony' chat
thing after
this... ?
ascii_field: '"To address cyber-security concerns, we ensure
that all your conversations are
transmitted in encrypted form," he wrote. "The key is
that we do
this without compromising ease of use and content discovery." As we now know, at least part of
that "content discovery" now includes investitgators' searching for evidence of malfeasance.'
ascii_field: thestringpuller: working on
the five-year plan
shinohai: I wish I had known about
this place during
the
TradeFortress brouhaha. I called
that one 6 months prior.
☟︎ thestringpuller: WoT seems
to work as advertised. Usagi completely vanished after Pete's assassination of him.
shinohai: fluffypony: "Seriously, wtf. even a retard can put
the wallet.dat on DropBox and be 99% safer
than
this." <<< LOLZ
☟︎ shinohai: He made a deal will
the devil betting on Ethereum anyway.
thestringpuller: dude wrote GPG contract, contract was partially executed, dude lost his key
to prove delivery?
trinque: thestringpuller: in
teh logz from yesterday
anton_osika: Well
the only
thing he wants
to defend is his WoT - so
the opinions of other is relevant in
these kind of contracts.
anton_osika: trinque: I am sorry if
that is what is seems.
trinque: and
the contact is solely with him; not with
the WoT
anton_osika: And
the verification of
the identity I am
thinking of is not so hypothetical.
trinque: anton_osika: I
think
those here are
tired of
the pleading; I didn't voice you for
that. And no, we do not vote on mircea_popescu's actions.
anton_osika: Would people here give
their WoT
that
this long party should receive
the delivery?
thestringpuller: i'm
tempted
to run a graph on
the nicks in #bitcoin-XT and see which ones of
them are connected
to known scammers
thestringpuller: So
the people in #bitcoin-xt have some
terrible links in
their WoT
assbot: Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, and Bank of New York Mellon agree
to hand over decrption keys
to Symphony - New York Business Journal ... (
http://bit.ly/1KaGEPm )
trinque: anton_osika:
that is not what
that word means
shinohai: Or say,
the keys
to your apartment?
shinohai: If you put money in your wallet and someone
takes it out, do you
think
that is also fail-safe recoverable?
anton_osika: Well
the "unprobabilistic" part was my strong belief
that my keys were fail-safe recoverable.
anton_osika: I
tried
to refer
to
the concept of 5 sigma, etc.
anton_osika: I do read. I also have a
talent for getting into
tip-of-the-tounge moments, in such cases I make up words...
shinohai: Also, if
the anton_osika guy reads
these logs, please note
there is no such word in
the English language as "unprobabilistically "
mircea_popescu: (isis has more "boots on
the ground" in
the immigrant wave
than
the us has in
the entire middle east.)
mircea_popescu: shinohai in other news,
the isis
throughput seems
to be about 3%.
funkenstein_: "luke, I am your father". "No it's not
true, sign a statement with his key bitch"
funkenstein_: but we all learn from
these
things so I say
thanks
to all involved
funkenstein_: a signed statement from "enough" people in counterparty's WOT
that
the spirit of key A now resides in key B would be
the only way
funkenstein_: the case of anton_osika reminds me of
the post-resleeving identification ceremony from
the
takeshi kovacs novels.
HeySteve: having connection difficulties lately so I haven't been doing
the manual sign in
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's fortunate
that moore's law hosts nodes for free in moore's legal datacenter
cazalla: this
time it's gonna be different!
this guy we can count on
to lead
the country unlike 28 people before him
shinohai: Well can't say danielpbarron hasn't done his part for
the cult.
assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 05:06:53;
thestringpuller: ^^^ danielpbarron
BingoBoingo: ASP, Adobe cold fusion, nothing more
toxic
than an American college website
punkman: mircea_popescu:
Title IV are just
the ones
the gov will loan you money
to attend
