mircea_popescu: imo putting an end
to "software development" much greater achievement for human race
than "decrypting bolix"
mircea_popescu: anyway, sorry if i inadvertently rained.
tis indeed great news, and it being expected great news dun detract from greatness.

that
the cruft is glued on with broken glass (all
the ciphers are modularized in very gnarly multilayered way, whole
thing relies
through and
through on his weirdo streams
thing, 1,001 idiocies)
mircea_popescu: hence why original choice for full sized exponents, "why let enemy enjoy
the fruits of his lies"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in my mind
the idea was
that if you force non-republican software
to use republican exponents it will either crash or
take forever.
mircea_popescu: Turns out, Kochs pile of shit, despite eschewing constant
time arithmetic, and being implemented in Overflowandcrashlang
loses
the footrace, when given a full-width modular exponentiation (i.e. one where it cannot cheat by skipping over leading zeroes.)

that piece makes it plainly evident redditardation is ~generational~, not ideological.
there sit
the russki kids, who'd be in a fine position
to understand
the problem. god knows
they have much better access
to much better priors
that readily illuminate it.
mircea_popescu: in other random not-news, 37.187.150.139 is "ddosing"
trilema by loading random pages ; but with a few select "lurkmore.to" pages as referrer.
lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: dude,
the archive russki fellow utterly doesn't do
this.
mircea_popescu: for crying out loud, a virtual machine running firefox just
to do what lobbesbot does atm in case archive.is croaks ?!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: subset of
turing
test, if you will. if
there exists means
to mechanically distinguish browsering luser from bashing republican,
the world is broken.
mircea_popescu: but it occurs
to me we kinda HAVE
TO maintain
the browser===bash equivalency.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 02:00 asciilifeform: by
the
time someone reverses,
they change it, and force
the idjit users
to 'upgrade'
mircea_popescu: we have a hole in
the process here, where bash existence is not === browser existence. phantomjs used
to fill it, or at least mostly, or so i
thought.
mircea_popescu: are you aware
that curl will not in point of fact produce copies of shitty imperial websites, because
those shitty imperial websides use javascript
to fuck with
the dom ?
mircea_popescu: well, if you're going
to replicate archive.is, you're going
to use ~something~
to go from webshitsoup
to plain html.

the
thing you spackled over -- on
the contrary nao he has
to read
the ~original~ rubbish ~plus~ your spackle, however much it weighs.
billymg: sorry for
the slow pace, i'm still learning a lot as i go
billymg: yeah, i
think i'm using a keccak version vdiff for creating
the patch, but attempting
to press with a sha v.py
diana_coman: from what you say it would seem
that you are actually using a keccak version but
that doesn't fit with what you said earlier re checksums not matching
billymg: diana_coman: my understanding was
that as long as i created
the vpatch with a keccak-compatible vdiff
then
the hashes would be consistent with genesis and it would be ok.
this assumption came from me being able
to press vtools and mp-wp with my current v.py (grabbed from
the link in
the
trb setup guide)
diana_coman: billymg, well, if
the hash is not keccak, you can't exactly press it on
top of a keccak patch; and moreover if
the sig doesn't verify
then it doesn't press it so how would
the changes be
there?
billymg: yeah, i've been dragging my feet on
that (although
the vpatch itself was created with a keccak vdiff
tool). will update and report back
billymg: ok, updated and it now presses but when i inspect
the resulting directory
the changes aren't
there (it also came with an error i saw before on genesis, about a file's hash not matching expected -- i assumed
this was because my v.py is pre-keccak)
billymg: good catch,
that's probably it
bvt: i.e. in hanbot genesis,
there is a/mp-wp/manifest, while in your vpatch a/manifest
bvt: billymg: it seems
that you should move directory mp-wp into directories a, b, not rename
them.
billymg: well, first copied both
to a/ b/ respectively
billymg: diana_coman: i made a copy of
the directory
that came from pressing
the genesis (keeping
the original), made my changes,
then diffed
the
two directories

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-12#1871478 << fixing/replacing
the
theme is on my
todo list, however i still haven't fixed all
the problems in wp-admin (png/jpg vs svg), so work on
the
theme will have
to wait a bit.
billymg: it could also be my v.py, although i was able
to press vtools and mp-wp genesis fine with it
billymg: i created
the vpatch diff with vdiff pressed from vtools_ksum
