asciilifeform: (for this 'litmus,' only things you personally keyed in are to be counted)
asciilifeform: this is a pretty decent standard to live by.
asciilifeform: i should hope to produce 1.2MB of something worth keeping before i'm buried
asciilifeform: aha then yes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 144were the later, 3 inch ones
mircea_popescu: i think it was 3.11
mircea_popescu had a complete lotus 1-2-3 and novell netware ~suites~, hundreds of 1.2mb floppies in 50 item boxes, shelves of the shit
mircea_popescu: i had a batch of 100 out of which 30 died the first write
mircea_popescu: but also very variant. i had one that was good for hundreds of rewrites over a year
asciilifeform: might have a survivor-bias thing going here
assbot: Logged on 14-06-2015 01:16:01; kakobrekla: meh i recall 'burning' a game at friends house to ~20 floppies, only to find ~5 not working when arrived home.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163651 << this stupid shit makes it even better. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 22:18:10; kalki: ok well I just subbed 2 special characters and then generated... it happened really fast... I thought it was supposed to take quite a bit of time but it appears to have generated in less than 5 seconds...?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163637 << that's definitely junk ☝︎
mircea_popescu: that aside, adding a curly bracket at the end or something doesn't hurt anything
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 21:59:34; kalki: thanks... ok so in attempting to set up my first gpg account, I am following the guide from contravex... so I am using the 5 dice coupled with the englich passphrase word list. So, I did 10 tosses, got the words, but then after entering, the gpg client tells me it is a weak pw as it contains no special characters. I read somewhere on Trilema not to change ANYTHING from what I get from the dice toss... so just
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163620 << the idea was to not change the words, as in "these five came out but i'ma use these other five instead because htey're eaiser to remember" ☝︎
HeySteve: would be ideal if a bot could be modded to hold and award the prize money
HeySteve: would need to pay people to research fresh questions too
HeySteve: entrance fees to the quiz, winner gets 90% of the fees, something like that
HeySteve: nope, was thinking it might bring some in
mircea_popescu: dja got btc to burn ?
HeySteve: yes, I was thinking trivia contests - maybe for BTC - would be fun ☟︎
kakobrekla: theres hundreds of trivia bots out there
HeySteve: hello. kakobrekla, I wanted to speak to you about a trivia bot
asciilifeform: to be clear, this was not going in my proper computer
asciilifeform: (yes you can still get them)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: gonna end up like me, i had to buy a brand-new one last week
kakobrekla: if i keep everything that comes through my hands i will suffocate
asciilifeform: why trashed
kakobrekla: and also, i recently trashed about 5 floppy drives, prolly all in working condition.
kakobrekla: meh i recall 'burning' a game at friends house to ~20 floppies, only to find ~5 not working when arrived home. ☟︎
Naphex: which is annoying to take down, and dash requres vlc
Naphex: fed through a javascript player
cazalla: Naphex, what's this mean? #11 Invalid streamType and/or streamServer settings for .
Naphex: only tested in chrome, everything else blows up atm
punkman: all I get is the loading strobe
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 22:26:32; pete_dushenski: 1) gpg version omitted, 2) revocation certification auto-generated, 3) auto-encrypt drafts, 4) warning message for idiots like travis patron that they're about to send an unencrypted reply to an encrypted message
menahem: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163644 << bahaha, travis patron. "Travis Patron is a singularity researcher and cybereconomist most well-known for his thought leadership into digital economies such as bitcoin... You can find him in Toronto, apathetic towards voting while hunting banksters for spare organs." ☝︎
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> how many three-legged tables, chairs ? << i for one would rather have three-legged furniture: 3 points define a plane; any more and you have an overconstrained and rocking system
cazalla: damn, that is faggy
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell bingoboingo that 'reddit outrage' piece is impossible to read dude. breaking start-up/startup into two words might give you two s.qntr shares but it makes shit unreadable and frankly a bit annoying. tighten it up, smarten it up, eh.
punkman: "turns out my team and theirs had been working on the same thing and we didn’t even know about each other."
punkman: "when I was at Visa, I was leading an R&D group on Machine Learning that was experimenting with Hadoop for near real-time analytics of purchases. anyway we worked a year on that thing, and it was awesome, but one day we get invited by another group at Visa who want to show us something ‘amazing'."
pete_dushenski: it's more of a sense of things to come, a feeling of how valhalla might look
pete_dushenski: "strategic visioning" doesn't require that anything even be written down
pete_dushenski: punkman: it's the kind of thing readily accomplished while sitting on the toilet
pete_dushenski: cazalla: lol i guess i'm one of those unreasonable assholes who doesn't understand how the world works
punkman: my favourite words from the ethereum transcript: "strategic visioning"
cazalla: they tried their best pete_dushenski, is that not good enough for you?!
assbot: A Guide To Buying 5000 Ether/Bitcoin, 2.5x More Than Ethereum's Genesis Sale Offers | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1JQxmsc )
pete_dushenski: 1) gpg version omitted, 2) revocation certification auto-generated, 3) auto-encrypt drafts, 4) warning message for idiots like travis patron that they're about to send an unencrypted reply to an encrypted message ☟︎
pete_dushenski: just looking at 'gpg suits 2015.06' update and it actually adds some sensible improvements to the default settings
jurov: ^ mentioning that, if you plan to use the key seriously, use 4096bit
pete_dushenski: and the machine you're using.
pete_dushenski: also depends on the size of the key you're generating
pete_dushenski: not to worry
pete_dushenski: i haven't used the newest mac version, but it doesn't usually take that long
kalki: ok well I just subbed 2 special characters and then generated... it happened really fast... I thought it was supposed to take quite a bit of time but it appears to have generated in less than 5 seconds...? ☟︎
pete_dushenski: not that you can't add a few symbols or make the second-last letter of every diceware word a capital if you so desire
pete_dushenski: it's designed to be 'user-friendly' for fiatheads who typically use the same password everywhere
pete_dushenski: kalki: don't worry too much about the 'advice' of the newest mac pgp client
kalki: jurov, funkenstein, ok and thanks again I shall proceed
jurov: if you're a beginner, no use to complicates tuff by using multiple keys
funkenstein_: no prob :) I have only one, it's easier that way. But if you want another distinct identity you can make as many as you want.
kalki: also thanks for your help!
kalki: funkenstein, the wiki says for WOT that I should generate a gpg if I dont already have one... so do folks typically use just one key? or is it smart to have a seperate one for WOT distinct from communication etc?
kalki: funkenstein, it is the latest mac client 2015.06
kalki: also, I am noticing that when I log in to #bitcoin-assets, just before it transports me to the room, it says at the bottom of the screen that this nickname is already taken and that I should verify ownership or something... I assume this means that I need to find a new nickname and that it is not talking about me just because I have been using it a couple months here..
kalki: thanks... ok so in attempting to set up my first gpg account, I am following the guide from contravex... so I am using the 5 dice coupled with the englich passphrase word list. So, I did 10 tosses, got the words, but then after entering, the gpg client tells me it is a weak pw as it contains no special characters. I read somewhere on Trilema not to change ANYTHING from what I get from the dice toss... so just seeking some soun ☟︎
kakobrekla: i paid more bitcoins than you euros for mine tho.
jurov: lucky bastards. i was caught, was not fined but had to prop up my old daewoo by about 300 euro (using dubious parts) to keep it legal
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 19:35:58; trinque: exhaust pipe rusted off
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163555 <<< how does this shit pass rego or do you not have yearly rego checks on the car? ☝︎
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163461 <<< this orlov guy.. i've enjoyed reading some of his stuff but i can't figure out what sort of man buys a boat but does not have funds tucked away for upkeep/maintenance or new engine ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 17:52:56; danielpbarron: found this while researching why XCP went up 30% over the last few days
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163496 <<< it's still way off its highs of $8-9 when it claimed it could now do whatever ethereum is planning to do ☝︎
jurov: and i wondered off the eulora server. event will take place after chetty fixes it.
mod6 wonders off to create a guide
mod6: i paid more for this pos then the damn car.
mod6: this pos box, i can hear the disk spining. "GRRRR GRRRR GRR GGRRRRRRR"
mod6: well, and that thing was a convert too.. so, obv less weight there.
danielpbarron: tea kettle's pin that the valve pivots on is loose and falling out
mod6: my old man had one of the 1983 mercedes 380SLs.. but yeah i don't think it weighed nearly as much as those bigger frame ones like yours (MP) or Pete D's.
danielpbarron: t-shirts have holes in them, iphone won't charge unless i rubber band the cable into the right position, etc..
danielpbarron: asciilifeform> what other kinds of broken everyday objects do you folks put up with ? << my (**picks up keyboard**) bicycle's breaks are shot and the gear shifter is sketchy
trinque: in the good old days, *you* were the crumple-zone
mircea_popescu fondly remembers his two ton mercedeses
mod6: but that was back in the day where cars were still made with full steel frames. thing weighed 4000 lbs.
trinque: *car goes to sleep*
mod6: i once had an 1983 pontiac perrisan <sp> station wagon. it had 300`000 miles on it. got it for $750. it always made me laugh because when i shut it off, it would keep knocking for like ~20 seconds. then backfire super loud.
trinque: had a lot of fun in that car though, got it at 16
mod6: tranny was bad too 'eh
trinque: I'll drive my current vw til it catches fire
trinque: but then... dust
mod6: i just can't figure it out why someone would want to pay $300/mo for 6-7 years on a car loan for something "new" or "reasonable"
mod6: hahah, that's awesome.
trinque: I still drove it at that point
trinque: I once sold a car for $125, was probably in way worse shape than yours
mod6: damn thing probably runs tho. *shrug*
