mircea_popescu: and yo, various derps : next
time you read something on
the log, don't just run off and repackage it as your own
thing, like some sort of idiot
third worlder. link it
to its source,
that's how
the giants were made upon whose shoulders your midget parents made you scum.
mircea_popescu: it was discussed on #bitcoin-assets long before
the various bottom feeders posing as "technical" something or
the other caught wind of it.
assbot: Logged on 08-04-2015 20:33:20; mircea_popescu: note
that
this is one of
the majorest issues lurking in
the "larger blocks"
mircea_popescu: also, it would be nice if you sourced
the "More
transactions means more memory for
the UTXO database" objection correctly.
mircea_popescu: because odds are it will continue
to exist
through 2020, and just as untouched
mircea_popescu: nah. i imagine
the ideal box from
this perspective is something
that hasn't been
touched since 1999
mircea_popescu: if you know enough
to move it, no longer interesting
target.
mircea_popescu: however... look at
the count of DSA 1kb keys IN
THE STRONG SET
mircea_popescu: attempts
to bruteforce ssh credentials, for instance, are ubiquitous.
whaack: Well I say my analysis is good regardless of
the intentions of
the author
BingoBoingo: whaack: Distinct hazard of reading here. Sometime a person reads
too deep, othertimes
too shallow.
whaack: Or did I read
too deep into
that?
whaack: Is
there a subtlety
that
the correct spelling of a word is, well, an oppinion and not a fact?
davout: ok,
trying with CONFIG_LFS flipped on
davout: kinda problematic if we can't initialize a blank drive from
the pogo itself
davout: because
the partition was initially made without
this option
davout: i also just added "CONFIG_FDISK_SUPPORT_LARGE_DISKS=y", maybe if i remove and re-add
the partition it'll work
davout: however I'm stuck getting "mkfs.ext2: lseek: Value
too large for defined data
type" which I've no idea how
to solve :/
davout: after fdisk'ing a new partition on it, and
toggling
the MKFS option in
the buildroot config I can now "# busybox mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1"
davout: so, in my quest
to getting
the pogoplug working i'm at
the step where i'm
trying
to get it
to create an ext2 FS on
the attached SATA drive
davout: with every day
that passes
the "get actual computer, fuck with gentoo" item climbs higher and higher on my
todo list
davout clicks on
the "Solve computer problems" button
davout: what am i?
the fucking ms office paperclip?
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "Anyway, correlation is not causation." << granted, funkenstein_, but some of
these examples are a bit out
to lunch.
pete_dushenski: then again, who
the fuck really understands genetics ? certainly not 'the scientists'
pete_dushenski: "News flash: Culture is not genetic!" << guess it depends on what's meant by "culture". if you mean whether you eat for chopsticks or your hands,
then sure, but if you mean predispositions for music, languages, fine arts, etc, it's less clear.
pete_dushenski: "Theorem 5: Jewish genetics cause superior intellect" << clearly, it's
the converse
that's
true, funkenstein_ ;)
mircea_popescu: bitcoin IS
the payment network. get with
the program, get crushed, whatevs.
mircea_popescu: nobody gives a shit what fiat
thinks "a payment network" is like.
mircea_popescu: such derpage.
the situation here isn't
that fiat is in control, defines
the words, and bitcoin aims
to please.
pete_dushenski: " If you want
to be a global payment network you should act like one. Mike Hearn makes it clear" etc.
pete_dushenski: chalk one up under 'best practise' and ignore
the fact
that i didn't
think it could be done on 1.4.x :)
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it's possible. not good practice in
the sense
that now more people can see it.
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron: i believe
this is only in newer versions of gpg ?
pete_dushenski: and... *instant*
trackback from qntra
to contravex. good fucking god wordpress is inconsistent.
danielpbarron: it's possible
to encrypt a message
to multiple keys at once, or is
this not a good practice?
pete_dushenski: "let's vote in socialists because we've never had
them before and we've always wanted
them !"
pete_dushenski: argentines are
too new
to have sufficient perspective and context
pete_dushenski: "The canonical example is
that intelligence is correlated with foot size. It's a fact." << i'm currently a size 11.5, was once 12.5... am i stupider now
than i was
then ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: "We wan't
to kill
them, not be
them." << uh wan't ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron sheeeit...
that selection
thing is
the
tits. how
the hell does it work ?
assbot: Logged on 09-05-2015 13:06:41; gabriel_laddel: ;; rate funkenstein_ -1 author of a silly blogpost
that reviews none of
the assorted literature on
the
topic of choice, dances around
the idea
that perhaps experimental design is important and finally fails
to conclude anything of significance.
mircea_popescu: "well
technically an ISP is a service provided
to
the internet, like a phone service provider is one
that provides phone service. Not services 'on'
the internet, but
to/from it, just a someone with a phone number is not a 'phone service provider', he is just some dude with a phone. Internet service provider provides internet services, hosting service provides hosting services.
They are different."
assbot: Logged on 09-05-2015 02:34:43; asciilifeform: as
to dog 'food' means 'dog food',
to homo derpicus - 'isp' means his local
telecom monopolist
mircea_popescu: "we are so right because we agree with each other on
things! what
things ? don't be pedantic. we're right in a way
that goes beyond words!"
mircea_popescu: "Technically a hosting company is an ISP
They provide Internet Serivces" / "Don't be pedantic. ISP has a meaning
that goes beyond its words."
mircea_popescu: i have had domestic accidents where barefoot slave stepped on beardhair on floor, hurt her foot,
thing had
to be cut out with wire cutters.
davout: i have
to concur here, you could fit food for a small african village in mircea's beard
mircea_popescu: davout re
the youtube :
this very weird absurdist romanian comedian. i'm a fan. regularly comes up with indescribably weird shit, rarely sahre-able cause rarely in an actually spoken language.
