mircea_popescu: yes, that's the problem there : in order to have your own oppinions you need to study the groupthink.
asciilifeform: 'When he was returned to Springfield four years later, after slashing his wrists and writing “American Gulag” in blood on his bedsheets, the doctor wrote, “Considerations that [Powers] has some form of psychosis, thought disorder or mental illness are unfounded.”' << mega-l0l
Chillum: my own damn opinions keep getting in the way
Chillum: I never was very good at group think
mircea_popescu: Chillum i suspek you have to do a bunch of log reading to acclimate to the groupthink.
pete_dushenski: ah yes, "what the customer has come to expect"
Chillum: I still think my clients would prefer their api keys encrypted
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski seems to be the consensus.
pete_dushenski: ssl provides much security theatre and little apparent security
assbot: Logged on 28-03-2015 14:56:34; Chillum: In my opinion SSL is not a turd to be ripped out
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-03-2015#1076676 << see teh logs ☝︎
mircea_popescu: apparently wikipedia is keenly aware it exists primarily as an advertising source. just... not for the fucking chinese aaaite ?
mircea_popescu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2015_March_20#Cogobuy << wikilulz of the day. guy makes article about bn dollar chinese company, is told "This is an encyclopedia .... Not a website advertisement service, There are a million and one ways to advertise your company and this place certainly isn't one of them"

Chillum: nubbins`: they use pepper spray around here
assbot: Canada cops unleash tear gas at close range on anti-austerity protesters in Quebec - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/19sLxVT )
nubbins`: lel, protestors have started doxxing the riot police
nubbins`: i always wondered why there was a Future Shop and a Best Buy less than a block away from each other
assbot: Future Shop stores closed across Canada, some to become Best Buy - Business - CBC News ... ( http://bit.ly/19sJQri )
Chillum: and I will make one to monitor the uptime of yours
thestringpuller: I'm thinking of making a bot to determine uptime of other bots ;)
nubbins`: every time she'd open my laptop, 5 seconds later an onjoin alert from assbot pops up on screen
Chillum: no honey, I swear the assbot is for strictly business purposes!
Chillum: ahhh, did not get the name
felipelalli: I was asking because gribble is kind of "universal", it is in everywhere, including here, and also in #bitcoin-bra --- I thought assbot was a kind of universal WoT like gribble.
nubbins`: i doubt kakobrekla wants to do it, since he doesn't idle in -otc :D
nubbins`: if -otc wants a new bot, someone there can set one up
PeterL: they make a more resilient system with two nodes rather than one
Chillum: the bandwidth that goes through the API is so small that the SSL module would be using a negligible amount of resources
felipelalli: I thought assbot also worked as a gribble backup?
Chillum: In my opinion SSL is not a turd to be ripped out ☟︎
Chillum: really SSL is not using that much horse power compared to the other stuff the client does
Chillum: The page could use more information about the security implications and the expected use case though. Someone might get told it is the latest and greatest and not realize security has been bypassed
Chillum: A great idea for a light node though, if the security situation permits it
Chillum: my box needs to expose its API though
nubbins`: this whole thing started with asciilifeform wishing he had bitcoin source code in dead-tree form
Chillum: though all of that can be disabled in config
Chillum: I just need to make a $100 node
nubbins`: asciilifeform would be the one to question about the specifics of it 8)
Chillum: May try that out for my own purposes
nubbins`: the idea here is to get a bare-bones reference implementation
Chillum: I am sure the change makes it run faster which is great for embedded devices that don't need to worry _too_ much about malware on the machine
nubbins`: there's the patch, you tell me 8)
Chillum: can't I just MITM the connection without that?
Chillum: "Removes OpenSSL Handshake for RPC commands" Isn't that important?
nubbins`: all the patches are written by people in here, and pgp-signed
nubbins`: anyway, check out that pastebin, that's the release notes for 0.5.3.1
Chillum: and the API needs to spit out parsed block data on demand so that 3rd party apps can work with the data
Chillum: a thin frontend
Chillum: If anything QT should have nothing to do with bitcoin other than being in a client that accesses the daemon
felipelalli: I want to buy 1 BTC in Monero. Here is a good place to ask?
Chillum: just like the bittorrent reference client sucked(but did what it needed too, reference the protocol) so does bitcoind
nubbins`: right now people are just ripping the turds out
nubbins`: well, that's an eventual goal
Chillum: Glad it is still being worked on. But frankly I would like to see a complete re-write of the client
nubbins`: they're all small enough that you can fit each one inside your head enough to understand it
nubbins`: but if you're so inclined, you could actually just grab legacy 0.5.3 from your favourite source, and apply the patches listed on the site
Chillum: I will keep an eye on the project
nubbins`: there's a RELEASE NOTES included that lists the patches applied
nubbins`: it's based on the historical 0.5.3
Chillum: is there a changelog?
Chillum: There is so little information on that site about what the changes actually are or how they have been audited. It seems to have been made in November. It would be a bit like running a custom code version of PGP
nubbins`: if you've a mind to try again on your pi1 (and have a cross-compile toolchain set up), i'd suggest http://thebitcoin.foundation/bitcoin-v0_5_3_1-RELEASE.tar.gz
nubbins`: Chillum prolly 'cause you're using the latest phoundation bloatware
Chillum: Nice. I tried that on a Pi 1 but it chocked
nubbins`: you can see it just south of the middle there
nubbins`: and: the heat sink is on the bottom of the board, so you can take off the lid without repercussion
nubbins`: soooooo, the pogoplug mobile (non-sata) has solder pads for attaching a SATA connector
Chillum: I did not know that
PeterL: 'capitol' is specifically the building where the legislature meets, 'capital' is the city
chetty: thats edumacation these days
Chillum: damn teachers
Chillum: I have been spelling that wrong my what life
Chillum: never seen that spelling before
chetty: oops capitol ;P -- on theother hand I like the B idea better
chetty: ppfft on embassy, let them come here to the capital
Chillum: well, they declared a tax so an embassy must be around the corner
Chillum: "in fact, forget about the embassy!"
Chillum: haha "screw you guys, I am going to start my own embassy with blackjack and hookers!"
nubbins`: i'm beginning to think not
chetty: <nubbins`> and with the potential to set back scientific research :S// is that even possible?
nubbins`: and with the potential to set back scientific research :S
assbot: Major publisher retracts 43 scientific papers amid wider fake peer-review scandal - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1xIDOig )
nubbins`: ABC (anti-ball crushing) engineering gives you and the family jewels room to breathe
nubbins`: nubbins`:http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/bianca-s-gift-cards-no-longer-accepted-at-bistro-sofia-and-black-sea-1.3011771 <<< reports are that employees are owed a month's wages too :o
nubbins`: "Claiming that his operation would be “completely dicked over” by an influx of product, Vice President Joe Biden reportedly became increasingly worried this week that the recent legalization of marijuana in Washington, D.C. could seriously cut into his business."

nubbins`: o hey i took everyone's advice and started a blog
funkenstein_: lol, that sucks. well at least you got some pictures :)
nubbins`: funkenstein_ the guy wouldn't sell it to me. total fraud.
funkenstein_: nubbins what ever happened to that wood carving with your name on it?
nubbins`: and finally found a good price for purple pogos, two of them on the way
nubbins`: curious to see how much the SD chokes
nubbins`: okay, sweet. i've got a 60GB SSD and a 64gb UHS-1 SD card on the way.
nubbins`: first comment: "Don't know if this is an actual notebook or a laptop" hahaha
nubbins`: "Hey guys I am down at the Texas Bitcoin Conference and someone took my red notebook. There was not a whole lot of valuable info in it but it was a gift. If you saw it tonight at marias taco xpress or know where it wound up please notify me. I thought this was outside bitcoiners' character but I am never surprised in this space"
assbot: Please return the red notebook : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1EfLudD )
nubbins`: "that's such an /american/ thing, hey? 'mentoring'? movin' to a big city and getting yourself a mentor or five?"
