mod6: there's also
a few other things mentioned in the thread above.
lobbes: "CarPlay is an Apple standard that enables
a car radio or head unit to be
a display and also act as
a controller for an iPhone." << oh god
BingoBoingo: Without the drinking to forget, all that remains is
a big meatsack full of resentments.
BingoBoingo: Eh, there's no drunk worse than
a dry drunk

☝︎☟︎ jhvh1: BingoBoingo: (help [<plugin>] [<command>]) -- This command gives
a useful description of what <command> does. <plugin> is only necessary if the command is in more than one plugin. You may also want to use the 'list' command to list all available plugins and commands.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, tis
a delicate operation and im not sure we have spare patients.
mircea_popescu: which is what that whole "
a new $string which resolves to $hash" is all about.
trinque: that still can be
a fact also published by your node.
mircea_popescu: the reason i didn't start the gossipd discussion with trilema specifically has to do with the comments problem. which is : there's some implicit authority-and-authorship play wrt comments, as reader is more interested in mp's idea of what comments were than in random spew, and by
a large factor.
trinque: your comments section would not be hosted by you, but would rather be comprised of
a marker which says "here be statements others made about $currentDoc"
trinque: take
a particular trilema article, your node announces that there is
a new $string which resolves to $hash and your node signed the fact
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 23:11 trinque: trilema in the model has
a key, chatters to peers when something is published. peers retain or dont as their node is set, allow others to connect to retrieve items or dont as idem.
trinque will elaborate more after
a necessary errand

☟︎ mircea_popescu: shinohai how did you compute your 0.00025 anyway ? "gotta type
a number in" ?
mircea_popescu: for
a long time it was reliable, but so far in october it's about 10% up or so.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:08 trinque: and reason I'll yet grunt out
a dht webthinger, central archives are nonsense
mircea_popescu: between logotrons that reliably maintain the archive.is produced zips of any linked pages and
a service which spits out text versions of pdfs (and youtube videos etc), to be also archived, we'd actually have
a complete solution
mircea_popescu: thatg aside, the more pressing problem is that we don't have
a proper pdf-decrufter, (random moron with delusions of self-impoirtance failed to be useful, as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque idea being that there's
a necessary and natural cut between log matter and linked matter.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 22:10 mircea_popescu: i suppose one thing we could do is change how a111 works so that on every outbout link posted here it
a) makes an archive.is copy of thje page ; b) downloads the corresponding zip
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg|--vol] [--currency XXX] [--market <market>|all]) -- Return pretty-printed ticker. Default market is Bitfinex. If one of the result options is given, returns only that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns ticker for that three-letter currency code. It is up to you to make sure the code is
a valid (1 more message)
trinque: and reason I'll yet grunt out
a dht webthinger, central archives are nonsense
☟︎ trinque: not that I fault
a guy wanting to charge people for the use of his bot, obviously
trinque: so then, subscription might be to
a particular logotron. and hard to price those given that the market has ample, usable free
trinque: shinohai: might do better with
a "archive as much as you want for x / mo" style arrangement
shinohai: lol i got an email from
a ver minion about paid writing for bitcoin crash!
mod6: so, yeah, perhaps come up with
a plan, and hand it in to the foundation, and we'll consider.
mod6: but if people did wanna emplace some thing somewhere your bot could be
a good way to go with
a reasonable pricing model.
mod6: much like, I stuck
a bunch of dependant files in deedbot. that obviously is probably not the best way to do that.
mod6: like... if I want to stick
a porn movie in the archive... sure, i should be able to pay some nominal fee perhaps.
mod6: yeah, i think it could be pretty minimal. and be
a non-annoying choice.
mod6: ben_vulpes: thoughts? if given
a proposal on this that is
a resonable, should the foundation consider?
shinohai: id love it to b like
a warez markwt lel
shinohai: well soon i will make it spit out
a tar or zip
mod6: so, maybe
a drive that grabs the pastes, and links and stores them somehow. then make another that backs up the first.

a bandit, with whom one can come to an understanding. he believes him to be
a robot, who must be feared. american law enforcers are able to, by pressing on the keyboard of
a multitude of laws and regulations, 'transmute' the most insignificant peccadillo into
a monstrous deed. FBI did not need to beat up Monica or toss into her purse heroin or ammunition.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 20:18 mircea_popescu: because the enemy purports to
a "dispassionate" which is to say batshit insane "application of justice", random woman like say monica lewinsky can go to jail ~forever for ANYTHING. such as you know, "having not told some nosy bureaucrats whatever detail of her own god damned private sex life".
mircea_popescu: this is exactly the idiotic "make it count" argument. and it should be obvious that ALL IT DOES is
a) actually enact the "less important" enemy nonsense, such as "jaywalking laws" and b) fundamentally corrupt the republican opposition, because if you won't naturally jaywalk, hoiw would you naturally shoot obama in the face ? one needs the other, like tree needs roots.
mircea_popescu: this then creates in the republic
a pressure : since you might as well go to jail for jaywalking, DO NOT jaywalk, "because you have more important things to do" and "it'd be
a pity to end up hanged for jaywalking".

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the faits d'armes of brave duellists who don't know what
a foil is and how handguards work or why ain't.
mircea_popescu: virgin boy's wet dreams work exactly like adult's, BUT, importantly, they lack any representation of the vulva. because he's never seen one. if all he's seen is his mom's boob the succubi will show him boobs and he'll cream ; if he's once seen
a slit, his succubi will have slits, but no clits. and so following.
mircea_popescu: aminteşte Rovenţiu. Au reuşit să scape din mai multe încercuiri; s-
a tras în ei de sute de ori, însă “noi n-am folosit niciodată armamentul, deşi puteam să-i ciuruim de nenumărate ori”.
mircea_popescu: “Lîngă Făcăieni, aproape de Feteşti, ne-au turnat nişte săteni, care ne-au văzut odihnindu-ne lîngă o lizieră. Şeful de post, apărut din senin, ne-
a cerut actele. Sub ameninţarea pistolului mitralieră, l-am legat de un copac şi am dat drumul la restul. Doar nu era să tragem. Nu furasem actele pentru asta. S-
a dat alarma şi sute de miliţieni şi securişti, dotaţi cu elicoptere, ne-au luat urma”, îşi
mircea_popescu: yes, well, don't tell me that
a would-be mubarak nearly machinegunned romania's anwar al sadat
a year or so later.
mircea_popescu: here's
a question for the ages : i put on trilema at some point
a photochop depicting this slightly fat, mongoloid teenaged male smiling proudly next to
a taller babe that he had ms-pain drawn his arms around.
mircea_popescu: anyway, no theorems isn't it. there's that famous case of my driver whom my mother (who was bumming
a ride) asked in shock why'd he'd go around playing valet for
a 17yo. he said something like "not everyone's
a big deal". man had 0 theorems to prove, but also didn't go around deluding himself on the matter.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in fact, there can only be
a culture if they're not around.
mircea_popescu: there is however
a culture without petit bourgeois old folks.
mircea_popescu: yes. little men "just trying to get by" because "they have
a family to support".
mircea_popescu recalls olden days when whatever group of 14-15yo westerners joined in for
a tour of the cluj chocolate factory (feleacul).
mircea_popescu: is this more of the same "i do not approve of mp, because i'm fucked in the head enough to imagine there my be such
a thing as my approval of mp ?"
mircea_popescu: now and again i ban them (which results in attempts returning soft 404s, which is trilema pages, at
a cost of 100kb+- per attempt)
mircea_popescu: they will try mns of times, 5-10-20
a second, because 0 interest in anything.
mircea_popescu: trilema responds with
a "fuck you" 40 byte message. THIS DOES NOT DETER.
mircea_popescu: trilema has been
a mindblowing exercise in "common man use of internet". EVERY fucking month
a new botnet attempts to co-opt it into the totally-fucking-genius idea of ddos-by-wordpress. yes, that ancient hole published on trilema yuears ago, still unfixed.
mircea_popescu: it's like an unwashed cunt,
a good idea in principle implemented by imbeciles. as
a result it provides
a warm crack and fresh food to
a whole pile of slime molds, cockroaches, worms, etcetera
mircea_popescu: basically,
a vast majority of weblink remoras are simply wordpress / etc spambots trying to find the xmlrpc.php on kiwiirc.com
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, "Young Ukrainian woman with excellent command of English and previous experience of Britain wishes to serve
a woman or couple in the UK. Little previous experience of BDSM but very submissive and obedient."
