Adlai: aha, better definition: old people are less likely to appreciate tatran
asciilifeform often experiences mindfuck in u.s. (and argentinian!) 'antique' shops on account of recognizing various objects (razors, furniture, bakelite phones, kitchen junk, etc.) from his childhood (which took place in a technologically and crapflationarily-behind by three or four decades part of the globe)
Adlai: asciilifeform: fella old enough to father WoT nodes
Adlai: this is the beauty of relativity
mircea_popescu: more like, we're stuck either stepping in dogshit or standing on the shoulders of monkeys.
asciilifeform: if i ever were to learn what - i promise to say
mircea_popescu has never despised old people this much ever before. and he's famous for despising old people.
mircea_popescu: other than fucking everything up.
mircea_popescu: incredible. and the 50 years' worth of very useful dweebs pulling on their collective half inch worth of foreskin did what exactly ?
asciilifeform: spittoon theorem.
mircea_popescu: you mean to tell me if we intend to use any FOSS thing the way that'll happen is if we write it first ?
asciilifeform: because, it seems that in the course of this opera, we are setting up one sks key server
assbot: [mats] PGP keyserver on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1I8x3tu )
Adlai: now THAT is a hoodrobbin
Adlai: then made a great public show of returning them to blockchain.info's creditors
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no listen, so you construct the db, then have gpg spit out the list of fingerprints, then query it over that list. produces pubkyes.
Adlai: tl;dr: 'johoe' who took >250 coins from blockchain.info users by looking for predictable r-values
assbot: Recovering Bitcoin private keys using weak signatures from the blockchain / Nils Schneider ... ( http://bit.ly/1I8wK24 )

asciilifeform reading docs, because this is unbelievable
asciilifeform: how a turd is sausage.
mircea_popescu: how is this a db then.
mircea_popescu: that can then presumably be iterated, being a db. right ?
asciilifeform: and then what
mircea_popescu: yes, builds a db out of the pgp pile.
asciilifeform is floored by the sheer retardation of the sks thing
mircea_popescu: " I started doing a full build, it looked like it was going to take forever so I aborted it and switched to a quickbuild. On the 4-processor machine I was using it still took in the order of 40 minutes to run so this might take a while."
mircea_popescu: you can prolly steal the code from there.
mircea_popescu: /usr/local/bin/sks_build.sh << it has a script btw, to allow you to autoload in a db
mircea_popescu: WHAT IS WRON G WITH THESE PEOPLE
asciilifeform: https://keyserver.mattrude.com/dump/current << l0l, apparently there is a real-time one.
asciilifeform: anyone knows the secret ?
mircea_popescu: you keep thinking that if you proctastinate the parts that suck they'll get done by themselves.
asciilifeform: i keep thinking gpg has the key slicer functionality built in somewhere
mircea_popescu: just max that box already.
asciilifeform: www end is how we read the output
mircea_popescu: for the record, www was comparably irrelevant. as long as the processing was started, where exact;y the www responds... whocares.
mircea_popescu: because it takes 4ever.
mircea_popescu: 5gb of keys will take a lot of processing. everything else can wait so THIS is started
asciilifeform: (by now mircea_popescu probably read the src and knows, approximately, how it works)
mircea_popescu: cmon, today's the day, yest was the day, day b4 yest was the day, and so on for a whole week.
asciilifeform: can house 1,001 other things there
asciilifeform: it really doesn't need the whole box to itself!
mircea_popescu: what's it waiting for ? to no longer have a great server at its sole disposal ?
asciilifeform: if you wanna do the sausage slicing, feel free to start. otherwise it'll have to wait a little.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, when's the processing start!!11
mircea_popescu: something like that.
asciilifeform: something that ran on pNohes, i recall.
mircea_popescu: eventually they tracked down the offender source
mircea_popescu: i don't recall, was a big deal thread cca 2012
asciilifeform: warned how? warning shot with nanocoin tx'ed out ?
mircea_popescu: actually iirc the first iteration at least, derps were warned.
mircea_popescu: get al txn (in the unpruned tree), group by address, see which actuyally exposed the ke ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: or wait, this was already done long ago.
mircea_popescu: can it has ` thousands separator ? :D

kakobrekla: jurov> assbot remembered me, nice < i think it checks wot status every time
Adlai is honored and begins typing up "The Idiot's Guide to Blockchain Technology"
mircea_popescu: Adlai the idea being that if you cache a link on the very place where the link is referenced, you can't have link rot because if the place is up it's up and if it's down there's no link anyway
Adlai: blog fragmentation seems an excellent way to cause eventual linkrot
Adlai: what are the standards for mirroring pages in qntra articles? is archive.org goodenuff?
mircea_popescu: what teh bs.

cazalla: i dunno Adlai, i'm thankful not to be a woman but i don't give daily thanks to it
Adlai can't make this shit up
Adlai: "Few Jewish religious texts have provoked as much indignation and discomfort as the brief passage that is recited by traditional Jewish men at the beginning of the daily morning prayers: “Blessed are you, Lord, our God, ruler of the universe who has not created me a woman.” For many, it expresses a quintessential misogyny that lies at the core of our patriarchal religion."
mircea_popescu: if that chain snaps...
jurov: chainsaw is the last thing i'd economize on
cazalla: stihl, i'd rather not take a cheap chainsaw to the knee
cazalla: from what i've read, the stihl and husqis are made in china now too, and this is for only around the backyard use
cazalla: jurov, thansk, i always check but for some reason missed that :\
jurov: and then undeathed lol

mircea_popescu: tunnel vision lol. i checked the sig and the sum.

mircea_popescu: "Specializing in the sort of ultimate tough-guy/manly man roles that hearken back to a different era in film, Sizemore continues to be a favourite of Hollywood's greatest directors."
assbot: Logged on 30-04-2015 21:45:55; mircea_popescu: ascii_field there was this mildly famous gay boy of athens whose name escapes me at the moment, literally got a whole trireme detachment on unbacked promises of great pay (from persia iirc ?) and well... there they sat.
mircea_popescu: and re http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=30-04-2015#1117066 : teh trilema readership reminds me, alcibiades alcmaeonidos ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 03-05-2015 14:04:57; asciilifeform: (yes, would add something to fuel cost. cry a river.)
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-05-2015#1118983 << a) trivial to make the retractor always fail out ; b) it'd add all sorts of costs, most of them subjective. ☝︎
davout: asciilifeform: not with gravity, that's how the retractable gear works in case of failure, pull a lever, it falls with gravity
asciilifeform: (yes, would add something to fuel cost. cry a river.) ☟︎
asciilifeform: davout: what i find odd is that the modern machines have retractable windmills. retraction gear could fail.
assbot: Re: Sri Lankan Homicide/Suicide Bomber Attack terrorist - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1FIpEiU )
asciilifeform: re: old thread with mats: the heads really do fly off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV-5svC6okQ
davout: asciilifeform: makes sense, wind and gravity are probably the two forces you can rely upon when airborne
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu you gotta restart it for the changes to take. you can also make a spare copy of it to run locally, it is simple enough.
asciilifeform: davout: these were sop even in the days of airships: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/ZeppelinLZ127b.jpg << graf zeppelin. notice the windmill in middle-right of photo. powered radio room.
assbot: Logged on 03-05-2015 02:11:26; decimation: yes, indeed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tXobY4ZWbc < a video of the 787 landing with the ram air turbine (pop out windmill) deployed

mircea_popescu: http://www.find-t.co/ << pretty handy t.co braindamage reverser.
mircea_popescu: this is the result of this ill conceived "you can do anything" trend applied to business.
mircea_popescu: srsly. this is the tech company. gurlz are all "oh poor them" and shit. it's like beating up the mentally retarded.
mircea_popescu: (hint : previous time it stopped working, they rejected based on agent string)
mircea_popescu: soooo... since i was looking at the fetlife stuff, i discovered the scrapper had stopped working
