asciilifeform: why does this need to happen in split-second parcels?

asciilifeform: PeterL: idea is that the idler parked here by mr ddos will die.

asciilifeform: beyond 'let me drool in this here bowl'

asciilifeform: mike_c: idea was, we let them in when they are actual people with an actual reason for wanting in

asciilifeform: '... and they vote!'

asciilifeform: what a sad thing that they did not die.

asciilifeform: tches, led to the nearly fatal overnight stay.'

asciilifeform: 'However, the door doesn’t automatically unlock when the interior handle is pulled—and therein lay the problem for the Smiths. According to the Times, the couple had been led to believe by their Mazda dealership that the key fob was the only way to unlock the doors; this mistaken impression, coupled with the fact that the vehicle was parked in their garage and that it was apparently too dark to clearly see the interior swi

asciilifeform: mike_c: banner points you to www log. then pm of the folks appearing therein.

asciilifeform doesn't grasp how this makes anything more secure

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol, toy os users only

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: reference to 'oregon trail' colonists, or to breaking on the wheel ?

asciilifeform: el coronel no tiene quien le escriba, полковнику никто не пишет, полковника никто не ждет.

asciilifeform: (soon i must go and [censored] and someone must take over!)

asciilifeform: at least for this thread.

asciilifeform: seems that, in his absence, i'm filling in for him in role as 'cruel sargeant for n00bs'

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: if mp likes n00bs, then let's see if he agrees that this should make their ordeal more rational (if not lighter) than it is currently.

asciilifeform: i'm not sure whether the fact of something being planted in an 'eyes' country or not is even interesting. it's like the old saw about how a smoking section in a restaurant is quite like a pissing section in swimming pool.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you probably know, but this is not the only problem with fleanode.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: but if you want to contribute a box or two for a 'parachute' network for #b-a, don't let this stop you

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: we're discussing perhaps a ~1kb patch to kako's bot, rather than a serious project

asciilifeform: '!down' ought to suffice

asciilifeform: i'm almost sorry i mentioned it, now folks will expect it to exist

asciilifeform: but this is not a published gadget, and should not be regarded as proof - or even suggestion - of anything in particular.

asciilifeform: decimation: if you give a damn, it was called - on my own machine, which at present, is the only place it exists - 'kapelle'

asciilifeform: if he merely wants to listen - straight to www log.

asciilifeform: n00b should be expected to say at least a complete sentence re: why he should be let in to talk

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: they are not necessarily to be refused, but there ought to be slightly higher expectations of work for the n00b to do in order to merit invite

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: how many of these we get now ?

asciilifeform: the observation that, on account of the log existing, we don't need human idlers for anything at all, was correct

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: too much work << wouldn't it be approximately a one-liner? add to +i list upon voicing by assbot, remove when logged off / devoiced ?

asciilifeform: incidentally, what do we need unvoiced users for at all? noobs can find the log www, and figure out who to pm from it

asciilifeform: i like the idea of nuking drooling idlers who have no visible purpose

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: no. that just relocates the roaches, not kills.
