mircea_popescu: you mean ipv4 works other than the "it doesn't allow every idiot online" aspect. gotta keep it under 10 mn or so.
asciilifeform: 'this cow is great except that it was bombed at guernica and doesn't look much like a cow any more'
asciilifeform: ipv4 works other than the no-wot aspect
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no. ipv6 is fatally flawed in that it has no wot.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck thought that's even a workable scheme...
mircea_popescu: universal ip, as a sha512 hash. no more of this "os doesn't know its ip" bs.
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform incidentally, this greek stuff is a fine test of the whole array of lizard hitler theory. clearly he couldn't possibly allow this, right ? when's the last time someone defaulted << greece et al are resource-burners. like wherever it was that '30s u.s. farmers burned wheat and poured out milk into latrines. the paper serfdom that results from the eventual 're-creditation' of the delinquent debtors
mircea_popescu: okok. rishonim as opposed to achronim, modern commentary as opposed to ancient. and the kotzker guy is just some famous rabbi.
asciilifeform: scanner bed probably lexan instead of glass, etc << nah it was glass. but the whole rest of the thing appear to be plastic, except for a few pins and motor casings.
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> there asciilifeform, i found you rishonim precedent in the kotzker rebbe discussion of buffet's plight. << anybody have a talmud handy ?
mircea_popescu: artifexd baby we need that thing so we can use it as a model to make a new dhcp too!
mircea_popescu: you know incidentally this fucking sucks.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell nubbins` can't felch it from the OS at runtime? << os does not know your external ip, if you are behind a nat. as, e.g., a pogo is overwhelmingly likely to be.
mircea_popescu: they happen to matter a whole of a heck more than whether you're either right or reasonable, as it happens.
cnerd: I pretty much understand what you are saying. Thanks for your time, man, you were incredibly helpful
mircea_popescu: do you own your servers which you colocate ? do you rent time on a shared server ? these things matter.
mircea_popescu: would they have done the same if i didn't have a lawyer ready to sue ? no. had the dc been more scared of me than of them if i hadn't etc ? no.
mircea_popescu: so they sent a bs complaint, i replied, they sent a dmca, i counternotified, they went away beaten.
mircea_popescu: well, it's not so cut and dried. the thing is inequality online is readily misrepresented because things appear for no good reason as very equalitarian. take the much related fetlife debacle (here : https://www.google.com/search?q=trilema+fetlife+butthurt )
cnerd: so, nothing serious, i guess? They gave up pretty fast, didnt they?
mircea_popescu: not that i'm specifically aware. probably, at least tried.
cnerd: yea, same dude(s). So, what happened, did they follow up with a more serious attack afterwards?
mircea_popescu: o wait, with the ddos. ok ok.
assbot: The lulz of today : DDoS attacks, ransom notes, Tor anonimity and other faits d'armes of the retarded generation on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1BW6bEI )
mircea_popescu: weirdly this rings no bells.
cnerd: I see that you have encountered these dudes DD4BC some time ago
assbot: Why "representative democracy" doesn't work and doesn't make sense pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1EQRGcB )
mircea_popescu: Chillum a) feudalism is the most complex form to date b) democracy hasn't failed, it succeeded. like communism. turns out nobody can stand its final form.
Chillum: it seems current government and monetary policies seek to be intentionally complex to avoid understanding of it
Chillum: when more complex forms of government fail it always reverts to a simpler form
mircea_popescu: next you're going to want to hang badly dressed women, and then where will we be.
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 11:47:21; nubbins`: mine's "people who charge big money for graphic design when they're clearly unqualified to do so, resulting in either sad clients or more work for the printer"
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-04-2015#1086281 << srs, hang people for that ? it's just fucking design.
mircea_popescu: i don't think feudalism is avoidable since internet.
Chillum: back then if you could not manage a land it was given to someone else
Chillum: longing for the days of feudalism?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, this greek stuff is a fine test of the whole array of lizard hitler theory. clearly he couldn't possibly allow this, right ? when's the last time someone defaulted to the britton woods system ? when's the last time a government said fu, we're not going to do what you want us to do so we fail electorally ?
mircea_popescu: and, obviously, the "welfare of the children" is the chief concern.
mircea_popescu: it's teh law!
mircea_popescu: so... i suppose the us, germany and whoever else has money must pay for the house where greece fucks random dudes and "raises the children"
mircea_popescu: the process took a few decades to come to roost, but now stupid countries are behaving comensurate with that.
mircea_popescu: basically, in the 70s stupid dudes in government decided to force men to pay for stupid women in the house.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i kinda like the way this works.
mircea_popescu: i dunno who the overgrown infants think they're fooling,
nubbins`: i bet they have a "roadmap"
mircea_popescu: you see ? a! like, there are others, this is just one of a class!
Chillum: is that like a silent fart?
nubbins`: "we won't tell anyone when the money is gone"
nubbins`: i like that
mircea_popescu: “We may have to go into a silent arrears process" << check it out, they have a word for it and everything!
nubbins`: but who wants to move in winter?
nubbins`: or around the new year when all the first-year students flunk out
Chillum: If you want a place you basically have to wait for the university to let out, so once a year
mircea_popescu: THEN leave, two months late and leave dead hookers in the matresses.
Chillum: finding a place to live around here is hard even for a local
mircea_popescu: not even. sign the lease, expect leasor to buy you drinks at the bar, sublet the place to a bunch of other dudes, never pay a dime in rent
Chillum: we don't give them places to live
nubbins`: sign a lease, move out a month early and leave 35 bags worth of trash behind
mircea_popescu: ocasionally the hre would come over, the local whores (ie, married women) fucked the soldiers raw.
Chillum: yup. They are handling the global currency collapse in a very tactical manner
mircea_popescu: italy was run this way pretty much 500ad - 2015 ad.
mircea_popescu: Chillum greece is the main example of a certain way to run a country, which is : make promises to whatever power, then not keep the promises see what it does.
nubbins`: ah, the seasonal homeless
nubbins`: Chillum and every summer they come back to st john's :D
mircea_popescu: "Greece no longer has enough money to pay the IMF €498m on April 9, and also to cover payments for salaries and social security on April 14"
Chillum: of course every winter all the homeless from out east come to victoria/vancover to live
nubbins`: it was 12C here three days ago
Chillum: I always love it when the weather channel is showing ice storms out east and that we have daffodils blooming on the Island
nubbins`: in fact, romania is closer to me than vancouver
Chillum: and the 15% of it to the south west has nice weather for several months a year
nubbins`: for those of you who do not grasp the size of canada, europe is closer to me than vancouver is
nubbins`: with real curds and a thick gravy on some home fries, it's divine
nubbins`: most poutine around here is totally bastardized
Chillum: perhaps they just make it bad around here, but the french guys love it
nubbins`: probably our only common threads are that we like poutine and smoke trees
Chillum: It is a big country that I live in
Chillum: Greece, those guys were buying gold coins from me more than the whole rest of the world combined during their bailout
mircea_popescu: maybe next they can leech some money off the russians for a while, making promises ?
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 08:54:21; assbot: Greece draws up drachma plans, prepares to miss IMF payment - Telegraph ... ( http://bit.ly/1BXb9Sz )
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-04-2015#1086243 << epic. i wish to see how this drachma goes.
Chillum: in Canada you don't need to ip a tx is under $3k a day and under $10K in a year
mircea_popescu: it's the law Chillum !
Chillum: the general population has a strong tendency for crazies
Chillum: I have only met a few of my customers, I do NOT want to know them
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone could have made a fake this one.
Chillum: I prefer KFC to KYC
Chillum: sooo know your customers is now extended to learning about their hobbies and personality?
mircea_popescu: so apparently this chick wanted to open a coinbase account. they told her to make a blog, as part of their newer, friendlier KYC regulations. so she did. here it is : http://mandyswanson.tumblr.com/
mircea_popescu: make it possible for imbeciles to live with it, not really.
Chillum: any system will have to live with imbeciles
mircea_popescu: necessarily, as something becomes "popular" the percentage of imbeciles increases.
Chillum: the percent of people who run a rull node will continue to drop
mircea_popescu: note that they're almost never full, either.
mircea_popescu: people, the sort who imagine themselves "part of the community" for no reason, not being able to pass even the minimal qual of running a node, have nfi just how heavy 1mb blocks are
Chillum: wow that is some increase in volume
Chillum: geez, my client is up to Nov 2014 and it says it is at 70% complete. Is 30% of the blockchain volume really since November?:
mircea_popescu: not that he wouldn't, mind you.
mircea_popescu: jurov the idea being that putin didn't write himself a piece of paper saying "hey if i don't like you it's ok to take your stuff". or if he wrote, he didn't sign. or if he signed, he didn't publish. etc. ☟︎
nubbins`: and warns you that it sucks while he shows it off
nubbins`: but he fears others will think it sucks, or worse, that his taste is so poor that it *does* suck and he just doesn't see it
