mircea_popescu: "MegaIndex - powerfull analytics
tool which allows
to get comprehensive report about web-site's incoming and outgoing links." <, in other news, i am persuaded 50% or more of webtrafic is meta.
trinque: heh, sounds a lot like
the human fuel gauge in Waterworld
mike_c: well, don't
tell
that
to mpex.
mike_c: right. but if you want
to build a service
that has proper message security, how else
to do it?
mircea_popescu: nah, mpex is "potemkins all
the way down". i read it on reddit.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: you probably own one of
the most valuable pgp/email lists going..
mike_c: i mean, what's it going
to do? root
the box? I guess
that's worst case.
mike_c: i mean nobody (here) knows of any real example of
this working.
mike_c: malformed ciphertext is just
theoretical, no? never seen in wild?
mike_c: "coin".. you do on
trades.
mike_c: you send encrypted message, get encrypted response back in real
time
mike_c: hm. mpex hasn't been cracked by
that yet.
williamdunne: Ok, well lets settle on works well enough for
the rather limited goal
mike_c: now maintained by someone who might keep it up more
than a week
mircea_popescu: hopefully we get a pgp implementation
that's usable sometime
this side of
the decade.
williamdunne: D required a hacky method of
telling
the application
to use
the command line
williamdunne: +1 on auto-upping some nicks. I wanted
to re-write Scoop in a language
that doesn't use JIT and other such crap, but many languages lack GPG libraries
that actually work.
mircea_popescu can readily envisage
the situation where, being dirigiblewrecked on same lab, would prefer
the company of mr x over pretty much everyone in
the dept.
mircea_popescu: and in
those
terms, your problem is "why are you such an asshole" which comes directly
to "why don't you wash like we do".
mircea_popescu: "now you chose it, it's yours, you gotta upkeep it" goes
the
taxation verbiage. just like... wait for it...
mircea_popescu: also
the cui prodest analysis comes out very heavily charged. apparently
the only people who'd benefit from you
think "you chose" "your" "profession" are
the people selling professions, and choice.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
thinking about it, "choose
this profession"
thing might be
the distillate of
the issue. on one hand,
the evidence
that suchg a
thinbg as "choosing your profession" even exuists in nature is slight at best.
take
the longstanding observation
that "a young researcher will end up in
that field where he encounters
the first success".
trinque: anywho, I am just
trying
to keep
the gears
turning. I'm not "pissed"
trinque: seems
the right way
to me. fits using another means of communication at some later date,
too
trinque: kakobrekla: at
the
time I wrote deedbot-
there was an agreement
that
the
thing should voice itself when I asked you
to autovoice it.
assbot: BitBet - Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI)
to drop below 14,000 before 18th September :: 1.48 B (14%) on Yes, 8.9 B (86%) on No | closing in 2 weeks 3 hours | weight: 59`576 (100`000

gribble: TheNewDeal was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 week, 6 days, 22 hours, 47 minutes, and 20 seconds ago: <TheNewDeal> !down

lobbes: the rest, I
thought was williamdunne
lobbes: trinque: not scoops, per se. I've just been on a quest
to handle alf's phuctor feed
trinque: I'm not pissed at all. lobbes here seems
to want
to do scoops.
trinque: notably
the bitching about how someone else wants
to do it comes after I've put work into bringing mine back online
mircea_popescu: nah,
the autovoice
thing going away is prolly
the right direction anyway
trinque: so
they don't waste my
time
trinque: I expect
that someone who says "I will run an RSS bot" does it
kakobrekla: do you expect
to find shakespeare in your server logz?
trinque: I don't want
to spend another morning farting around with something as inconsequential as an RSS plugin
trinque: so why don't you set rules for everyone
to be autovoiced when authed with nickserv
kakobrekla: the right amount being less in
this particular case :)
trinque: no,
the right amount of code is better
lobbes: <kakobrekla> usually we just let
the chanserv do
the bot voicing
to make it simpler << so, in other words, no need for assbot voicing?
trinque: but lo, I am
trinque, eater of bots
trinque: I've had a working module for months at least, but was letting somebody else
take a job
kakobrekla: i even added rss
to assbot for bens jeniks - which got shut down a day after.
mircea_popescu: trinque one of
the best parts of
this entire open experiment
thingee is how
the rss bot was by far
the MOST redone part of all of b-a
☟︎ trinque: parsimony strikes again; I'll endeavor
to avoid busses
kakobrekla: well, i dont mind who runs rss bot - but - usually we just let
the chanserv do
the bot voicing
to make it simpler
lobbes: well, I can't really say 'no.' If you've got a working solution,
there's no need
to wait for my derpage
trinque: alright, well,
this is
the 3rd
time I've had
to get feeds going on mine
lobbes: for some reason,
the OTP from assbot doesn't get sent
to
the messages.log like it used
to pre-limnoria
lobbes: Of course, with
this update lobbesbot seems
to have new problems communicating with assbot. In summary, all
that is left is
to figure out how
to get lobbesbot
to !up himself again..
assbot: Logged on 24-08-2015 04:38:13; asciilifeform: ;;later
tell lobbes your bot is dead ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it wasn't discussed as anything more
than a very vague possibility. just, your objections got rejected is all!
BingoBoingo: sure, or
they
throttle
the white man's speed
mircea_popescu: maybe i discover
they drop payloads at
the backbone level
mircea_popescu: o right. how am i going
to get encrypted connections
to my various servers. i dunno, BingoBoingo !
BingoBoingo: Don't
they have
that wall
thing
to keep
the Mongols lost and until
they get found, but for internet
mircea_popescu: but
that aside, i have very little hope left
to be much surprised by people.
BingoBoingo more curious how mircea_popescu plans
to get real internet in .cn
mircea_popescu: adding
to
the amusement,
the part
that he wasn't aware
that
to
the average romanian,
the arab,gypsy difference seems slight. but i suspect you know in english russian, chinese, same deal.
mircea_popescu: well for sure us is very similar
to ro, in
the following amusing way : /me clearly recalls arab fellow living in romania explaining
to me
the problems with gypsies.
