decimation: and it's not exactly like it is hard
to game
the
tcp state machine
decimation: pretending
that you have a connection on a completely 'broadcast' media is fucktarded
decimation: in fact, you need not put
the
true address of
the recipient in
the ip header as long as you can arrange
to be somewhere
to 'hear' it
decimation: udp can't be easily distinguished, and
this is a gossipd-flavor
decimation: yes, ascii's wot-signed udp would be
the first application for ip-to-namespace
mircea_popescu: lobbes can you discern if he has a point, does
the cache get 0'd out if it looks at a zero feed ?
decimation: which is why you need
the entire state
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's "back" when you don't keep
time yo.
lobbes: it should use
the url as a PK
lobbes: yeah, I
think
that is
the problem, which it should be able
to handle
decimation: the only sane way
to
track diffs would be
to keep
the entire history
then
mircea_popescu: ok, so could it be
that
the lobbesbot sees new dates decides new articles ?
lobbes: but bot should still be able
to handle
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so
the rss feed is exactly identical pre and post restart. how would
the bot know something changed
then
lobbes: I do notice
the dates change on phuctor RSS
mircea_popescu: does your restart fuck up
the rss feed, such as by altering
the dates it displays ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so if i restart
trilema, it doesn't pop
them out again
lobbes: aye, I'ma have
to edit
teh python
lobbes: well, I'm using
the default 'supybot' RSS plugin
lobbes: williamdunne: if your bot can store
teh history, feel free
to
take over. If not,
then first one
there wins, I guess ;/
mircea_popescu: just as soon as
the economics make sense, your x86 nemesis is gone.
two years,
tops.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: any idea why qntra snarfed my comment ? i
tried posting again but i'm being
told it's a "duplicate". somehow stuck in moderation ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider how rapidly bitcoin mining ditched
the cpu, and
then
the gpu,
to get a feel of just how unstable
this domination you perceive is.
trinque: might be interesting
to inspect it and see what's different
trinque: asciilifeform: I did a binary diff between your binary posted
to
the ML and mine using bsdiff;
the result was about 60kb
mircea_popescu: there wasn't much in
the way of sane
transportation routes in
the fronteer, either.
mircea_popescu: now
that
that curse's dead and buried, we can actually design
this shit.
mircea_popescu: dja see
the difference between "hmm, i intuit in my urine
that x86 sucks" and "lolut, 120v?
mircea_popescu: nah. one sticks around because it works.
the other because it's
the best alternative. you don't like either of
them, it's
true, but
that fact does not alter
the reality.
lobbesbot: lobbes: Error:
That's not a valid RSS feed command name.
mircea_popescu: x86 makes sense. 120 volt is
trivially abstracted away by
two step
transformers.
mircea_popescu: i imagine as long as "9 volt batteries or hunt rats by candlelight" is
the choice,
there's going
to be a lot of "9 volt" systems out
there
too.
lobbesbot: lobbes: Error:
That's not a valid RSS feed command name.
mircea_popescu: lmao check it out, liberia as well.
that poor country.
mircea_popescu: just because some colonies have mental issues it does not follow anything except
that some colonists need
to extract head from ass.
mircea_popescu: raped-for-being-white is, i hear, a fact of life for
the losers of
the 3rd boer war
mircea_popescu: i'm sure all sorts of
things are not daily curious
to various
troglodytes.
mircea_popescu: amusingly,
this happens with some regularity in history
mircea_popescu: they're just broadly speaking acultural and unseflwarare enough, unlike
the romans, so
they don't spend
three centuries waxing poetic over
this understood situation
mircea_popescu: all
the diddling it's gonna do, it mostly did already.
