assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 22:45:08; mircea_popescu: the nsa approach to software issues is not "how can we fix this" but "how can we pretend this is fixed while really we can just keep it in sleeve for later because you never know". fnargl through and through.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256165 << i think 'later' might be 'now' ☝︎
asciilifeform: don't have to like liver, to use it
gabriel_laddel: and here I was under the impression stas didn't like penis.
trinque: and people use "natural" like it's a positive thing...
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell bingoboingo no real opinion of lifted minitrucks. lifting isn't really my thing, per se. but i can see the appeal.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256251 <<< to this, i raise https://tribkcpq.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/geoduck.jpg ☝︎

pete_dushenski: we have a short little 'brit milah' tmrw at the synagogue for meatwot (but no briss planned)
mircea_popescu: kinda degenerated into the french bacalaureat, which meanwhile became a "right" dontchaknow
gabriel_laddel: America is two generations too late for that
mircea_popescu: as in, presentation of the thing to the forum.
mircea_popescu: no i mean like, "here is this worm that came out of my wife. turns out it actually is a person!"
trinque: "we're going to begin expecting adult things of you now. act like it."
mircea_popescu: i guess there's the texas dip for girls "of society" which means ~jack anymore, and i suppose they still do bar mitzvah in some households but srsly...
pete_dushenski: i'm not sure i've been economically independent quite long enough to pen this myself
mircea_popescu: it's really unfortunate they don't do presentation anymore.
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 23:38:33; mircea_popescu: achievements start with the first one.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256216 << indubitably. wouldn't mind reading a trilema on this basis. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: i've been mostly keeping up on the logs
pete_dushenski: thanks to all for the well wishes :)
gabriel_laddel: trinque: it's in the logs, but work mostly.
trinque: not bad at all; prepping a move back to Texas, enjoying life
gabriel_laddel: I've a thing for faces.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: lol, no fear - it just turns me off.
trinque: gabriel_laddel: in porn, do not fear the penis
trinque: rather artistic, that one. I like it
mircea_popescu: there are no prior achievements to that
mircea_popescu: achievements start with the first one. ☟︎
moonpunter: eh. i think your life is defined by your achievements. nothing against those with a lot, nothing against those with nothing. nothing against helping others by choice. etc. i just don't feel strongly about any of it. spend too much time selfishly focusing on my own life, i thinks.
mircea_popescu: in a generous reading, students and other tramps are somehow in a liberal profession.
gabriel_laddel: read the logs?
moonpunter: never understood the "commoner" paradigm. what is this a magic deck? if so, i'm a ltd. ed. rare holofoil, bitches.
mircea_popescu: such a thing is not for sale past what you get publicly anyway, the bar has a list.
mircea_popescu: and a deeply ignorant population which imagines its vague notions of ethics and fairness are worth two shits, mostly through being so useless and inept that they never get to check said in any sort of practice.
gabriel_laddel: or is such a thing for sale
gabriel_laddel: Do you have a database of all the judges, the lawyers who frequent their courts etc?
mircea_popescu: overdrawn but unenforceable "rights" of the common man, endless trials, complete disjunction between law and commerce, the works.
mircea_popescu: pretty much a copy of the 1996 ru justice system.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: more specifically, I'd love to hear more about the justice system some time
moonpunter picks nose, hides under table
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cray | cray. Another word for crazy. An abbreviation that you can use to describe a crazy person. That one cray bitch. She be cray. Why are you acting so cray?
mircea_popescu: not like you HAVE TO fuck EVERYONE in the pic
gabriel_laddel: troglodyte male in the background ruins photo :/
gabriel_laddel: ewww troglodyte photobomb
deedbot-: [Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski » Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski] The economics of sinking Garzikcoin aka BIP 100. - http://www.contravex.com/2015/08/29/the-economics-of-sinking-garzikcoin-aka-bip-100/
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel o hey there. how's life in
mircea_popescu: and i don't think i've not gotten scammed for any item i bought or service i hired since at least 1875.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes well i have nobody with an axe to ship there rightnao ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the nsa approach to software issues is not "how can we fix this" but "how can we pretend this is fixed while really we can just keep it in sleeve for later because you never know". fnargl through and through. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 18:28:39; mircea_popescu: greatness doens't get to skip a generation./
asciilifeform: and every time i 'park' it, when i come back its starfish is full of boulders
asciilifeform: but the legs are coming off this horse.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is paying somebody a pretty penny for that thing. and i am coming to think that he is getting scammed.
jurov: yea, was going to write that exactly
asciilifeform: jurov: this ~was~ the inaugural 'bisp' machine, recall.
asciilifeform: as it is, it eats table scraps, yes.
asciilifeform: if this were a project with an actual budget, and the machine were colocated, i would include a lithium-cell-powered MAINS LOGGER in there. and then WELD IT SHUT with own hands
asciilifeform: ^ and this may even have been the objective of the switch-flipping monkey
asciilifeform: it is only by a stroke of luck that therealbitcoin did not perma-wedge from corrupt db, also.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: even if you were speaking of the kind of kvm which has a power relay, it remains to be asked WHAT KIND OF TARD would flip the relay on a customer's box without written permission
asciilifeform: i am reminded of the old thread re: mpex disk drives.
asciilifeform: monkeys will try to pull out the cable, and the only solution is a man with an axe standing there and chopping their hands off, every time.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i strongly suspect that if it were somehow the case that trilema goes down for weeks-to-a-month every time it loses power, it would also lose power with some regularity...
asciilifeform: many things happened irl.
jurov: or case resonates with passing trains
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: perhaps you understand now why the alarm. there is NO LEGIT REASON for that thing to ever cycle.
asciilifeform: (thing does appear to have sensors)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nothing suggestive of thermal overload in the logs, either
mod6: lemme check the horde
asciilifeform: this means one of two things: a) thermal breaker b) mains current lost
asciilifeform: 'crash' means that there was no proper shutdown.
asciilifeform: and you will notice that no such thing happened
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: still need the root login to CLEANLY reboot the machine
asciilifeform: essentially the node ddos issue was never really solved
asciilifeform: this is an entirely separate kind of resource starvation from 'takes too long to verify blocks'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: node often fails to process incoming messages in a timely manner, at heavy load, and possibly ends up shitlisted
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 21:44:26; mircea_popescu: but in no small part (to answer punkman's q) this experiment is interesting to me specifically to see how well things do in cramped spaces.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256108 << empirically, it does very poorly. though, interestingly, i am reading the log now and may have discovered another force at work ☝︎
asciilifeform: there is no way to do this cleanly without root pw.
mircea_popescu: mmm i thought it was rebooted.
asciilifeform: all i know is that the fucking box lost mains power.
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 21:45:00; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also im pretty sure power didn't actually fail. derpy kids doing things to fix things etc.
