jurov: and atime/relatime + periodic snapshotting (like suse does by default) causes metadata
to grow out of any bounds
jurov: also unrelated:
today was btrfs day (drive with few subvolumes
times
tens of snapshots filled, i have embarked on some cleanup)
ascii_field: unless someone has just such a
thing handy
ascii_field: will have
to write something
to cut
this up
ascii_field: unrelated:
that sks key mega-dump is in a ludicrous format - .gpg binary
turds with 10,000s of pubkeys in each
☟︎ ascii_field: my observation is
that escape artistry and, e.g., rocketry, are - at best - orthogonal abilities
mircea_popescu: i'm really not enough of an expert in
the field
to be all
that confident.
mircea_popescu: there is no requirement
that graph be arbitrarily
traversable.
mircea_popescu: the sane were pretty much either dead under
the white flag, or else involved in subverting
the red.
mircea_popescu: doing what, sanely waiting for
the messiah ? (the real one
this
time!)
ascii_field: except - sometimes,
the sane -
to
the camps.
mircea_popescu: the insane can either live in
the camps nor not live at all,
that's
the problem
there. sanity, not intelligence.
mircea_popescu: framing
the discussion in
terms of intellectual ability is completely missing
the salient points. nobody ever gets offed for being either academically smart or stupid, it's orthogonal.
mircea_popescu: you know,
the "wrecker" who was "trying
to make
the
train
tracks run down faster"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: brilliant guy, inescapably stupid. what are you gonna do ? can't empower stupid. off
to
the gulag with him.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, watching
the derp go about how "we need regulation" suddenly made me comprehend why exactly von meck actually belonged beheaded.
mircea_popescu: i should prolly have one made, come
to
think about it.
mircea_popescu: women off
to
tadjikistan, milk goats in chains for
the rest of
their lives
mircea_popescu: honestly, my greatest regret in
this life so far is
that ~100k romanian ex-various state
things survived
the year 1990.
ascii_field: the alt.tasteless
term of art, iirc, was 'to squick'
mircea_popescu: i fully intent
to ejaculate down
the cut
throat of every single female involved.
mircea_popescu: tell you what,
there's not going
to be any "anastasias" out of
the current imperial family.
ascii_field doesn't expect
to be
taken prisoner alive, but wishes mircea_popescu a jolly good meinkampfing
mircea_popescu: by
the
time i'm done, it's
time
to start butchering
the powers
that used
to be.
mircea_popescu: actually, hopefully we end up in prison, like
the early soviet leadership. i'm gonna write a dictionary and a history of
the world.
ascii_field: would need serious mad hermit,
to pull
this one off
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: ... consider rewriting
the history of
the world from
the only sane perspective : as
the endless "interplay" between
two
types of people :
the sane, and
the imperceptibly mentally ill << nietzsche, or, far better, limonov
mircea_popescu: in short :
those who do are dull. "i do not wish
to
think about
these
things, i have better stuff
to do!!1".
those who don't are insane. but who's
to notice ?
they
themselves can't,
the others can't be bothered. so... imperceptibly insane.
ascii_field: to a sane future folk, he would seem as frothingly-mad as chingis khan seems
to
today's liberasts
mircea_popescu: well... you know,
the junkie is also imperceptibly addicted.
mircea_popescu: the former
try
to make
things,
the latter
try
to pass of
their pretenses.
mircea_popescu: if i were younger and more bored (really, less involved with actual
things) i might consider rewriting
the history of
the world from
the only sane perspective : as
the endless "interplay" between
two
types of people :
the sane, and
the imperceptibly mentally ill.
mircea_popescu: (well, he
tried
to pay in debased coinage, anyway. caused a revolt)
mircea_popescu: antonio doria, before being cut down by
the french at crecy, was a rather successful genoese pirate.
the pirate captain's regime collapsed over his (and others) failure
to pay.
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: if dandolo had any sense
they'd have plowed and salted constantinople, and sold all
the women
to
the
turks.
ascii_field: promised
them
the "pearl in heavens" << aka 'jam
tomorrow'
mircea_popescu: moral : democracy is for
the mentally ill ;
the rewards of democracy are rape and arson, often enough delivered with
the same stick.
mircea_popescu: V.
they decide
to conquer
the fucking city. because by now
they've got an inkling of
the pure filth
the greeks are. so
they do, and burn it, and cauterize
the place.
mircea_popescu: IV.
the "crowdsource" revolts.
this alters "reality" once more,
their guy is promptly poisoned.
mircea_popescu: III.
they
take adrianople, and
their presence alters "reality" as
the greeks perceive it. so
their guy is named co-emperor.
mircea_popescu: II.b. and further promised
them
the "pearl in heavens", a very classical device in greek gay drama (since at least
the days of darius,
this empty promises as a path
to military glory.
the greeks invented "fake it
till you make it")
mircea_popescu: II.a. random byzantine (militarily worthless, intellectually overpowering) entity convinces
them
to help him "recover" his "stolen"
throne, as if
the byzantines ever did anything else or anyone had a valid claim, or
the possibility of a valid claim even existed in
their world.
mircea_popescu: so, I. a bunch of militarily powerful, intellectually naive westerners made an army
to go beat up
the muslims and
take jerusalem.
ascii_field doesn't (as far as knows) have super power. possibly one has
to be mircea_popescu weight class
to notice
this effect.
mircea_popescu: "my being here is more expensive
than
the whole fucking shop would cost
to build"
ascii_field: going
to a shop merely
to get a piece of paper is dumb, period
mircea_popescu: and
this is set
to aggravate, by
the way. physical presence becoming rarer and rarer and expensiver and expensiver,
the necessary result of
the interplay of its rarity with
the above mental condition is
that
mircea_popescu: chetty> UPS ships
to very happy customs agents in many places << heh very much
that
jurov: if i imported it on my bosy, what are
they
to do?
jurov: i have long
time ago won an ipod mini from ibm. ofc
they sent it by post and it was clear case for customs how much such ipod costs and asked a
tax
chetty: and you dont even have
to process a box you never saw :P
chetty: walking out of work with a box or
two is a lot easier
than a yard of paperwork in an airport
mod6: To read about all
those other people you’ve got
to buy
the Professional version or even
the Enterprise Edition. << lol
ascii_field: i still don't understand why molestation in
the post but not in
the airport
chetty: UPS ships
to very happy customs agents in many places
ascii_field: as far as i'm concerned, historically, ebay is just
this gizmo
that shaves a zero off
the price of
the costliest
things i buy. so i was never moved
to care whether it is run by hitler or fueled with baby seal juice etc.
☟︎ mod6: the
thing is pretty neat
ascii_field: jurov: most vendors will work with you if you're willing
to pay
the actual cost
jurov: ascii_field: UPS ships everywere, but
the vendors don't want
to
mircea_popescu: by
the way, lemme recount
the fourth crusade for
the benefit of
the awareness-raising crowd-sourced crowd.
ascii_field saw a 747 marked 'ups' in b-ar airport. so perhaps even
there.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it works FROM mongolia. << I've had
to use my USian powers
to ask sellers questions potential buyers could not ask because
they were outside USia
jurov: yea, nobody ships
to mongolia
