trinque: or w/e the gpg replacement's name is
trinque: once off that, I might see about ebuilding trb (with perhaps phf's v+portage work if it surfaces), and then mircea_popescu's gns v-tree, unless gpg replacement surfaces soon, in which case deedbot->peh work
trinque: asciilifeform: walletsnip patch works great, just need to find time to regrind and further test. and aha, meanwhile diverted to cuntoo so we have a l00nix
mircea_popescu: that's be tits.
billymg: hanbot: if you like i could make and test a patch to submit for review
hanbot: holy cow, why the shit. thank you billymg for spotting!
billymg: the files seem to all be consistently .svg though
billymg: hanbot: going by the vpatch i found here http://thewhet.net/2018/06/mp-wp-genesis-regrind/ or http://btcbase.org/data/mp-wp/ the file does seem to contain a few references to e.g. .jpg.svg, .png.svg
billymg: ahh makes sense then
mircea_popescu: right, this comes from all that conversion stuff we did
BingoBoingo: billymg: I just made my theme by deleting stuff from the default and occasionally adding text particular to what I want from my blog.
billymg: but in any case, could also be a quick patch, just to fix the file links
billymg: so wondering if maybe bvt or BingoBoingo caught this and updated, or what's there is from a different release of mp-wp
billymg: the images are there, but as 'name.svg'
billymg: in the default theme's css from the genesis press there are some image links that don't resolve because of bad file extensions http://bimbo.club/wp-content/themes/default/style.css
billymg: i also found out why e.g. http://bimbo.club is missing some background images, opposed to e.g. http://bvt-trace.net (and this was the original reason i went in to tweak the css)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bdb recall also was used for 'wallet'; iirc trinque had an experiment going with tearing apart walletism
asciilifeform: sane db, then sane cryptotron, then eventually whittle the cppism down to 0..
a111: Logged on 2018-11-16 23:13 asciilifeform: it is on hold pending resolution of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-26#1866266 ( and is taking back seat to ffa currently )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-16#1873099 << last thrd on subj ☝︎
asciilifeform: it was built on the mmap lib, which in turn gotta be polished off
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw i have the thing written ( and iirc even posted, 'unofficially' ), but it will take some sweat to properly glue & test.
diana_coman: i.e. first strips everything and then applies what it's meant to be
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, it's the theme on top because mine has a bit of very heavy handed my-way-or-the-highway re styles
mircea_popescu: yeah, sane db will be major boon to trb (also not news, discussed as such since original "devs are idiots" times)
asciilifeform: ftr it may even be possible to write a reasonably-performant ecctron in 'p'. i cannot currently say.
asciilifeform: ( unless, i suppose, somebody else here wants to stand up and eat it, and write ecctron )
asciilifeform: but given as it is used on the classical net, will have to eat it.
asciilifeform: at some point i'ma have to seriously dig into eccism, to date i've moar or less successfully avoided it, spat on it
asciilifeform: ( implication , naturally, is that even if the sig coad were to be replaced with constanttimeism, it would not appreciably change the cpu cost of noad.. )
asciilifeform: for ~3 fucking yrs i was convinced that it spends cpu in sig verify; turned out - nope
asciilifeform: (~100% of the ram footprint is blown on indexes, also)
asciilifeform: might recall, asciilifeform profiled the thing, it spends almost all cpu time in the db. will be interesting when we bolt on the O(1) indexer instead of the bdb horror.
asciilifeform: no ooms either, ever since tossed 'orphanages' etc
asciilifeform: will note, even with the heap fragging nonsense, current trb has quite reasonable ram footprint; e.g. i run 'zoolag' on a 2GB box, and never manually reset aside from when deploying patch (coupla times in past yr)
asciilifeform: ( old trb dun 'suck' blox, except on boot; it waits to be fed )
asciilifeform: need for sane sync only became obv to asciilifeform once he fixed the oom crapola etc
asciilifeform: ( not only luck of ~the network~, but , perversely, the sadder the box , moar often it gets reset, the better pre-aggr trb worked.. )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sounds about right. ( tho greatly depends on 'luck of the draw' )
mircea_popescu: speaking of penalties : i dusted off ancient trb (pre agression), just for curiosity. turns out it sucks ~1 block/minute in the 450k range (ie, catches up with a year's chain per month, sorta thing).
asciilifeform: interestingly, measured penalty from HaveBarrelShifter := False -- and turns out, on x64, it's <0.5% .
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform finally finished massaging the 14b coad; patch + writeup on conveyor for tonight
mircea_popescu: billymg nice! as it happens nicoleci 's been looking for a way to put her pic in the header, so maybe work together on a theme ?
billymg: once i get the flow down and get this first patch working it will be easy to create more patches
billymg: also i should note that i didn't include the css changes to the default theme in this patch because i thought a user might want to add one but not the other
billymg: the signature verifies, and i believe i have the diff and manifest syntax correct, but i'm getting the "not found in flow" error
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 21:26 billymg: what if i submitted a vpatch that adds the js-text-selection feature and the few lines of CSS to the "default" theme in mp-wp (blue header one)?
billymg: i created a vpatch for http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-22#1865184 < http://billymg.com/downloads/mp-wp_add-footnotes-and-textselectionjs.vpatch http://billymg.com/downloads/mp-wp_add-footnotes-and-textselectionjs.vpatch.billymg.sig however i am having trouble pressing it myself ☝︎☟︎
billymg: hi all, this past week i've been able to take advantage of the holiday vacation time to get a local workbench set up. i now have a proper gnat so was able to build phf's vdiff. i also have my blog running locally which makes it a lot easier to work on and test changes
asciilifeform: 'a 24-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with 32GB of RAM; but the OS only sees 29.4GB of that RAM' << lol, what's the rest for, built-in botnet ??
BingoBoingo: In other news, apparently the Chicoms are getting ready to bring hard drive Gigs to RAM marketing https://archive.is/wBqSR#selection-3543.123-3543.242
mircea_popescu: come hell or high water, i'd rather manage my own household than whatever it is, nbc's movie arm, holcim's european sales, romania's only battleship or only central bank, WHATEVER it is -- if it comes with a "but must have some idiot" coda i'd rather fucking manage my household.
asciilifeform: coupla yrs ago , city sewage pipe to asciilifeform's hovel collapsed (from ~earlier~ inept construction work). monkey crew show up, digs, fails to find (!) . finally foreman, greybeard d00d in his 60s, takes over, cursing, drives the thing with own hands...
mircea_popescu: managing idiots is a game that can't be won, and ~ample experience~ is what informs my firm committment to tolerate no such thing.
asciilifeform: 'go to war with the army you have...'
mircea_popescu: you got me there, and while in these irons i guess i'll also confess it was my plan all along, back in 2012, to find some lukewarm half-invested dood to do bitcoin-assets.
asciilifeform: 'how much should i spend to retain sober bulldozerist' is just as much of a ev calc as 'how much iron to use in this here bridge' neh.
mircea_popescu: that is so very TOTALLY how it goes down.
mircea_popescu: and what you do out of sheer and unmitigated self hatred, is hire the one moron.
mircea_popescu: because that's what you do, there's like 500 sane, safe and consensual folks, cv in hand, to pick amongst
mircea_popescu: he;s not depicted ; but my years managing construction crews evidently left some trauma.
mircea_popescu: tbh, i empatized with the ~warehouse manager~.
asciilifeform: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/ddm7r/?raw=true << for compleetness of the l0gz, 1337 w4r3z -- sheckley, 'prize of peril'.
mircea_popescu: "hello girlies & morons, write me 500 words as to why sophocles isn't euripides" slash "hello dorky, you've got 30 seconds". what the hell's the difference.
mircea_popescu: i want to see some idiot "avoiding certain death in midget sub" throiugh the process of flailing around wildly and then dying mechanically about as much as i want a pile of sophomore history of philosophy extemporaneous essay-form papers to go through.
asciilifeform: hey mircea_popescu enjoyed that warehouse clip, neh
mircea_popescu: really, why do you care ? not like there's any possibility of empathizing with the derp.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that i could be bothered.
asciilifeform: imho anyffin that falls short of this, re 'reality tv', is snoar.
asciilifeform: re 'reality show', in 1950s robert sheckley had little story re 'glorious fyootoor' where nomoar pantsuit laws, and so folx free to kill themselves creatively for money; and tv program is made where folx are knocked out and then wake up in race car, or midget sub, or jet fighter, whichever is farthest from their ordinary derp life, and filmed as they try an' avoid certain deaths
mircea_popescu: anyway. canadians getting involved in things, the next step after women get involved in things. there's a spiral of decay, and comedy's not gonna do any better than the british commonwealth did.
asciilifeform: ( and of course only pretty gurlz pushin' the crates, wearing 0-epsilon )
mircea_popescu: ah, lotta that by virtue of cctv in storage rooms. though it usually goes more like https://media.giphy.com/media/iXaXJVF0t72rm/giphy.gif
asciilifeform: who the fuk wants to see mechanical sokoban played by some derp
mircea_popescu: (not played by anyone who played it originally ; but definitely meanwhile fouind by the hipstery 20yos looking to pose)
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ~same folx been eatin' it ever since. tastes, reportedly ( asciilifeform did not have occasion to try, but father -- did , for some reason it ended up in orcistan ) like low-grade beef. << From what I've heard aquatic mammals tend to have a flavor distinct from beef. This may differ for full oceanic mammals, but river dolphins are a thing.
mircea_popescu: twitch.tv, there's a whole "platform" website predicated on someone caring / people being too lazy to actually play.
mircea_popescu: what was that thing, with the abandoned storage boxes.
mircea_popescu: then they got obliterated by "reality shows", which are even cheaper to make. the
asciilifeform: horrors!111, all the 'culture' i missed...
mircea_popescu: carehehehehefully "curating" and "promoting" their "online business" predicated on "you don't have to actually buy colored wool / playdo to be on etsy"
mircea_popescu: these schmucks actually still exist, believe it or not, "content creators" consisting of a fat dork jacking off to seth rogen's podcast and a derpy chick carefully borderline sleeving her new york writer's boots.
mircea_popescu: and in today's farmed lulz : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/RIOSu/?raw=true
asciilifeform: ~same folx been eatin' it ever since. tastes, reportedly ( asciilifeform did not have occasion to try, but father -- did , for some reason it ended up in orcistan ) like low-grade beef.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mcarthur's idea re protein shortage in occupied jp -- feed'em whale. << Reads like Pantsuit revisionism. Of course Island that can't ranch infinitcows is going to whale eat.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they will when the whale-eaters die. ( it's mostly folx in their 60s-70s doing it. )
mircea_popescu would like to express his support. and so do you, lest you want to stop eating beef some day.
mircea_popescu: keks. they're not gonna quit eating whale are they.
mircea_popescu: by now, 99% of walkers live off the dole, so they don't really happen anymore.
mircea_popescu: back in the 1800s lots of actual merchants, such things ended with repatriated gold. pretty much drove the history of the us in that century.
mircea_popescu: nah. crisis is when merchants catch a glimpse of the nudity of the supposed "reserve currency".
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They call it crisis when it happens suddenly
asciilifeform: i thought 'crisis' is what the local derps spew when their national horse finally goes to glue
mircea_popescu: the thing with the glue factory is that when the nags look good they ~all look ~equally good, and when they look real they all look ~equally naggy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is dubious, hence the fiatist's notion of "crisis"
mircea_popescu: one day maybe they get a brain, start doing something other than mouthbreathing kids renditions of parental activity.
mircea_popescu: i guess mid-tangerine term they're going for the "orc again" angle.
mircea_popescu: i recall back in the late days of bahamas all sorta orclands had large posters with local ugly morons "el negro puede!!!"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand there's always been a 'dollar' (in the sense of best-looking-horse at fiatola glue factory) at any given time
BingoBoingo: He beat his capture "Blanco" party's resistance and got certified as one of their Pre-Candidates.
