that matter. most don't kill or anything)
mircea_popescu: nubbins`> i've never been bitten by anything more exotic

to
the sink and shoves my head under
the faucet,
trying
to flush it out, but every millimeter of space in my ear is full of horrific cockroach. For some reason, he pulls my pajama
top off. I still ask him why, but he doesn't know. Either he didn't want my shirt
to get wet, or
titties."
mike_c: ah,
the great accident was around
that version.
assbot: goosegoosegoosegoose comments on
TIL
that when a cockroach
touches a human it runs

thing. what justification ?

mike_c: do
they give any justification for
the version requirement?
nubbins`: and also only measuring
the head of each household
nubbins`: <nubbins`> anyway, only counting 0.8.x and above,
that's like giving a population count of every country in
the world, but excluding everyone under 5 feet
tall.
mircea_popescu: ie, most infrastructure nodes i know of work on SOME SORT ofload balancing or othewr, necessarily
thus exposing variable ips
to
the world etc.
mircea_popescu: mike_c
the notion of "counting nodes" is bizarre in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: and amusingly
they
think it's some pop rock of
the 70s.
mircea_popescu: they change
the words. but
the song fprever
the same. no matter what happens.
this is
the song.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: maybe not. could be a much dumber reason. "It's all one node just with 600 addresses.
This is what happens when you fucking pay people
to sybil attack
the network."
mircea_popescu: yeah,
the competition is called "mp said
the nodes are
the weakest point of bitcoin, bitcoin ppls are fixing it"
assbot: Almost 10% more full nodes since
this morning connected
to
the network. Over 400 more in US. Is
there some sort of competition I don't know of ? : Bitcoin ... (

mircea_popescu: they all sing
the same song.
they all sing
the SAME SONG

the in's and out's of gentoo :P
jurov: mod6 what's
the problem with handbook?
trinque: otherwise
those bootstrap instructions are in order
mod6: if i use aws do i get
to bypass
this bullshit?
trinque: with some handwaving along
the way
trinque: great way
to become acquainted with
the internals
too
trinque: boot
the livecd
then follow
the handbook
mod6: can anyone direct me
to a installable gentoo iso for x86_32
trinque: also PSA, ec2's firewall
thing now does outbound rules
too
trinque: probably chinese bots just crawling
the internet for hostnames
to poke
trinque: notably
the
thing never
tries any username obviously associated with public info about me
mircea_popescu: correlation of pseudorandom variables is a wonderfuil
thing
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (me last year, waiting for cab with dude in
timisoara. cab kinda late. me : "check it out, i'ma light a cigarette and by
the magical magic of smoking, it'll show up immediately. << Most well known phenomenon associated with
tobacco use
mircea_popescu: mp lights cigarette, cab
turns in immediately, mp is revered as god by
the kid in question.)
