mircea_popescu: you and naggum might've been
the only ones left by
then
mircea_popescu: (if anyone wonders why all
those r00 r01 etc slices back in
the day)
mircea_popescu: you don't even have
to ascii armor, if
that bothers you.
mircea_popescu: because www server will attempt
to feed any clients at any
time
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform like
this you can do it on an as-available basis.
mircea_popescu: you "shit-item-5 ; shit-item-6 ; shit-item-7" >
tar > gpg -aer pubkey > joe.ftp.server
mircea_popescu: the correct way is reverse :
take ~ftp login~, dump it in
there.
mircea_popescu: when joe blow did enough for you
that it overwhelms
the headache, he can has.
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with "here's a list of
things you can have ~by request~ in my castle"
mircea_popescu: when realised
that i do not like
the "community" enough
to pump 1k/mo into it or anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn't a
tracker, just a large box with
the entire collection of
trilema reviewed films. on for a year or so, but
turned it off recently.
BingoBoingo: dig shows
the MX pointed at
the foundation's Pizarro box from here
jurov: diana_coman: really, let's seriously
troubleshoot
this. if you aren't using hosts file, can you please paste
the output of: dig
therealbitcoin.org and: dig MX
therealbitcoin.org
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the first step in
the wonderful world of language is
the kid's "what incantations do" rather
than "what does
this mean".
takes a considerable
time exposed
to "she is your genie, ask what you will, she'll produce it" sorta situation for
the former
to mutate into
the latter, "what
the fuck am i asking
these genies
to do here!"
mircea_popescu: memory management in c is one of
the weirdest
things.
this is not directly obvious first off, but if you stop
to
think about what you're saying ~actually means~ it's a guaranteed starseeing moment.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-26 18:10 asciilifeform: for instance,
the almost ubiquitous c-ism, of creating a pointer (ada 'access') variable on a procedure's local (stack) and passing it
to something -- anything -- is illegal
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 14:59 asciilifeform: diana_coman: looks like ml not yet moved
to pizarro, it's still hosted wherever it was
that jurov had it
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 17:15 asciilifeform: when i started with adaism, i initially found
the preservation of indexing in array-slices annoying. but
then saw
the wisdom, it whips programmer into having a much firmer grasp of wtf he is doing.
mircea_popescu: Mocky we're in
the same
time distortion field. i recall people dead for centuries as if we just interrupted a coffee conversation days ago ; i forgot idiots i met yesterday as if milennia had passed.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 19:18 asciilifeform: stratum: y'know,
the money argument dun hold water -- a new 'ipnoje' actually costs moar
than ~several~ entirely usable pc
a111: Logged on 2018-12-18 19:57 mircea_popescu: why is it
that
this church is notable in spite of not having a feedbot ?
mircea_popescu: poor danielpbarron, i'm starting
to understand his problem : specifically because
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-18#1881534 ie much lower intellectual bar, it is actually WAY
THE FUCK EASIER
to sell his church
than
the republic,
to
the sort of random interneteer. memory vs
thought, hands down easier
to memorize
than structure
the world.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: and "most irc people" is an undefined symbol.
there's
the lordship and absolutely nothing else.
there's no "irc people".
mircea_popescu: random schmuckette futzing with her phone "losing" her nudes is of no consequence, she is a party favour anyway, whether she knows
this or not.
mircea_popescu: stratum we are only interested in destroying
the capacity of posturing of
the "state actor" known asw
the usg.
danielpbarron: i did not
tell him
to join, and i have given up on reaching
that crowd
Mocky: unrelatedly, it's strange
time distortion
to be a newb and compress
the reading of back #trilema & #ba logs into 8 months and
then see
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884140 and realize
the fella (and plenty others fresh in
the mind) hasn't even spoken here for a year
☝︎ Mocky: are you an advocate on behalf of
the billions?
stratum: If individuals want
to communicate using heavily encrypted sneakernet
to avoid NSA goons,
that is certainly okay by me. But I don't see
that happening for
the billions any
time soon.
☟︎ stratum: Right now, for
the billions, I
think it is probably better
than nothing, just like easily popped household locks.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ Mocky: more like
the
tsa luggage locks
stratum: I doubt any locksmith, who knows how easily
they can be defeated, is arguing against locks for
the average person, grandmas, and such. It seems like
the argument against
https from
the likes of dpb is an argument of
this
type, in my opinion.
stratum: Most people don't even have one "box" -- More and more browsing from
their phones as
their sole computing device, billions of
them. I
think
there is a disconnect in what we're discussing: which is why I mention RMS and his helpers.
Mocky: also re bot, I do see
the underlying problem
that is revealed when someone says "oh hey, never
thought of..."
stratum: If one can afford
the money,
time, and hassle, nothing.
stratum: Certainly, but one still has
to survive among
the internet places as
they exist.. We cannot all be RMS and have a helper print out websites for us because we're paranoid.
☟︎ stratum: I
think most IRC people would be more concerned with some random internet jackoff fucking with
them
than GCHQ.
stratum: It depends on ones
threat model.
stratum: In some cases, which do not involve a determined attacker or state actor,
https can prevent man in
the middle attacks,
the capture of full browsing sessions, and, while unfortunately involving untrusted
third party mega corporations
tied
to
the security state, one can be slightly more assured you're
talking
to
the actual website you intend
to.
