asciilifeform: not long ago, i opened yet another envelope in expectation of finding 'a book that was actually a book once' and got an ms-word formatted turd
asciilifeform: (which the turd in question was. in fact, quite likely it is even mostly posix-compliant.)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: someone took the trouble to make a trojan that works on all windowses to date ? << this is very easy given a purely-userland turd.
asciilifeform: if userland turd suffices for this, then so be it, they use one
asciilifeform: one of the facts re: the phoundation is - even if gavin et. al. add something that is unambiguously, probably, angelically, positive to their turd - it is still an act of evil.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on their side - presumably, the turd.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and may or may not be the actual scan or a questionable ocr turd
asciilifeform: all i really need in terms of hardware - is an fpga which isn't a turd.
asciilifeform: if sewer systems were introduced for the first time in today's usa, they would be an exotic and unobtainable thing. because would be unfair!!!11!! to 'private enterprise' fleets of honeywagons carting shit away for a dollar a turd.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, whoever else: has anyone taken an interest in actually making the turd vaguely usable? namely, plugging the leaks (yes, all of them) and zapping the idiotic db corruption (supposedly 'rare': http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/2051)
asciilifeform: ^ not turd. why? didn't have to run on toy computer in paupers' bedrooms.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that particular piece was written while waiting for a locked-up msword turd on a usg slavemachine, also running mandatory usg antivirus, which wedged the disk
asciilifeform: mod6: custom fs doesn't require an os-level turd, just a raw block device that the process is permitted to r/w.
asciilifeform: if we're talking about a humbler turd that runs on unix, it'd take /dev/sdwhateverthefuck'
asciilifeform: 30+gb << 40gB was the turd upon croaking
asciilifeform read that useless piece re: herr omidyar, kept waiting for it to mention his specialty as no. 1 hoarder and withholder of snowden turd. then saw that article is by 'greenwald, poitras, ...'
asciilifeform: incidentally, turd exhausts ram even if left to suffer in its attempt to fetch blocks
asciilifeform: modular db << sounds pleasurable, but this requires massive re-engineering of satoshi's turd.
asciilifeform: undata: 'this' being the overall affair of transmuting the 0.5.3 turd into a usable weapon
asciilifeform: turd on lathe requires liquid helium refrigerant to stay solid.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you want polished turd, buy a girl who knows cpp, 'valgrind', gdb, understands memory discipline, can implement bdb replacement ab initio, knows ecdsa mechanics, etc, etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: those 12 errors look like 6-10 different holes << also please remember that there is no deterministic full-walk test for this turd orchestra.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a cpp turd that also depends on similarly buggy cpp turds
asciilifeform: to finish off my 'sword into the stone' speech - yes, i can do this. (turd lathe.) but - if i were to put in the time required, the hour would soon come that i could not pay electric bill. and then s.nsa, and turdatron, will have to summon the gnome rumplestilskin to work in my stead. while i boil in whatever pot in hell moiety and pankkake are cooking in.
asciilifeform: in other news, turd firmly wedged at block height 252450.☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: and, unrelated, whoever was asking about chain-fork alarm, that's still in the turd. the thing that was nixed was the gavintron.
asciilifeform: aaand... latest (no. 4) turd - builds, fetches blocks, appears to function
asciilifeform: no one knows of a cpp to html-concordance gizmo that isn't a steaming turd ?
asciilifeform: lxr << what a turd! wants 'apache', and to be a server, etc.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: might want to do a live-fire test on latest turd
asciilifeform: 'The site has headlines such as "Why The Future Of Anonymous Browsing Lies In Hardware," ' << lol! even after 'kickstarter' threw out the turd?
asciilifeform checks grinding wheel on which current turd is being polished;
asciilifeform: what was the turd in 0.6 that made us stop short of it ?
asciilifeform: pinpoint - no. approximately tell if they're running hearn turd - yes.
asciilifeform: it is only less of a turd than other unix-likes because:
asciilifeform: and why did this have to wait for crackpot to ask for a printed satoshi turd, i wonder.
asciilifeform: decimation: this was the most illiterate possible turd, consisting of entirely unmodified 'putty' with a batch script giving it command line args to create 'ssh tunnel.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: virtually the whole of the turdware world has, for some years, been accounted for by cargocult l4m3rs who 'license' a turd (why? because, even building a ready tarball found wherever - is far beyond their intellectual level)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wrote most of that turd in mid-'09
asciilifeform: (turd that was pushed through because note from fellow with note from fellow with note from stalin)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: arc was out ages ago. it was a turd.
asciilifeform: qntra reads just like ordinary newspaper! 'company c now selling turd t.' 'company s having supply chain problems with their shit.' 'politician p derps on topic t.'
asciilifeform: nubbins`: if bought in north america in recent decades - inevitable plastic gears, worthless turd
asciilifeform: there is no concept. the idea of releasing a crypted turd sans key is ancient.
