mircea_popescu: <kuzetsa> assbot: you're a bad idea << if you'd have read
the logs you'd know
there was some derp in chan earlier dropping links
to leech ips
to ddos people.
decimation: For
the pankakkes of
the world: I'm not
trying
to say
that
the existing init system is awesome, I'm sure
that if one were
to
turn over
that rock one would find a mass of ugly critters
decimation: it's 'dead' in
the sense
that
there's apparently no serious alternative
to redhat-salaried developers who 'maintain'
the core of userspace
decimation: when asked why
they were not going
to support a standalone udev, Lennart wrote: "Anyway, as soon as kdbus is merged
this i how we will maintain udev, you have ample
time
to figure out some solution
that works for you, but we will not support
the udev-on-netlink case anymore. I see
three options: a) fork
things, b) live with systemd, c) if hate systemd
that much, but love udev so much,
then implement an alternative userspace for kdbus
decimation: they got
the idea (probably from Lennart)
that it would be a good idea
to make udev depend on systemd
decimation: it seems
that Kay Sievers (and before him Greg KH) were
the de-facto maintainers of udev
mats_cd03: looks like mp was right,
the price didn't budge for black friday

xanthyos: even easier
to mouth synch with
the latex
turtle head mouths
kuzetsa: cazalla: I'm uncomfortable with
the voiceovers and such on it
cazalla: kuzetsa,
there is like 10 episodes and it is a better watch
than
the remake you intend
to watch
xanthyos: remember
the scene when young shredder
takes all
the bells in
the dark room without ringing one?
kuzetsa: I wasn't impressed by nigga
turtles
cazalla: complain
to assbot, not me
kuzetsa: that link of yours routed
through hidemyass.com and ... suspicious scripting and shit
cazalla: have you seen nigga
turtles?
cazalla: ah yeah, i've never watched any of
the reboots
kuzetsa: the one
that came out in
the past 36 months & just came out on bluray in
the past few weeks
cazalla: kuzetsa,
the original movie or
the new one?
kuzetsa: I'm gonna be watching
the movie
tonight just
to see how much
they ruined my childhood
kuzetsa: I'm old enough
to have grown up around
the
time
the original
TMNT animated series was still on
the air, but
that doesn't make it (or me) any cooler I guess
kuzetsa: teenage mutant ninja
turtles x3; heroes in a half-shell;
turtle power!
decimation: Translation: in exchange for political support, manipulation of
the masses, etc, we expect
to be paid in usg-authorized indentured servants
adlai: that's enough internet for
tonight
adlai: this company has been name squatted for
TWO YEARS
assbot: We are very happy
to be able
to inform you about
the news on Skrill (MoneyBookers) via
this new unofficial
twitter account!
assbot: We’d like
to assure our customers
that /skrill is in no way associated with
the /MoneyBookers account or
the news and views
that it shares.
cazalla: adlai,
turns out
that @moneybookers account has nothing
to do with
them,
they rebranded as skrill and someone is squatting
the old name
adlai: with overlays of all
the possible nonsense generated by overfatted
TA
adlai: there should be a
timelapse gif of
these "sliding window" candle charts
adlai: candles in
the mpex charts change color!
adlai: cazalla: did anything happen from
that?
the
twitter "conversation" is pretty
thin
cazalla: adlai, plus given
the social media raping of western union
the other day, moneybookers preempting it happening
to
them.. look at us, we're pro bitcoin, really!

assbot: /hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash is
truly an amazing invention.
Thank you all for
the feedback!
xanthyos: i find
that offensive, not
the sex but
the fact
that
they're pug owners
ben_vulpes: get a shitty old computer, wipe it, put debian on it and keep it isolated from
the internet.
ben_vulpes: p.
trivial
to catch a virus on android.
xanthyos: yeah
the whole way apps are installed is so foreign
ben_vulpes: i'm not even aware
that "android" is secure.
xanthyos: i got an android
tablet. do you know of any safe wallets for android os?
ben_vulpes: i'm actually just checking
the robustness of my new bouncer setup, xanthyos
xanthyos: it's been up
today 2%, picked up .7627 right before

mircea_popescu: they'd make great soviet bureaucrats, if only
there existed a soviet soyuz for
them
to run into
the ground.
mircea_popescu: all
things considered, i would say
this is a reasonable summary of
the business acumen of your average argentinian.
mod6: thestringpuller:
thx!
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding actual gold use is 1% or less of
the metal in circulation, and usually less
than production.
mircea_popescu: adlai
those are mostly in india, and
they have a huge problem keeping supplies up
adlai: it might not be
the most open market, but I doubt
that's
to
the detriment of
the interest in question
adlai: well, I imagine factories
that need physical gold for actual use have some way of obtaining it from
the entities
that are holding gold for whatever "speculative" use
mircea_popescu: it's like
the proposition
that
there's an open market in police work. no,
there isn't, not for as long as an agent steals any of it
that it feels like and
torches
the efforts of anyone else.
adlai: usg buys S.MPOE
to hedge against bond failure
ben_vulpes: who knew
the usg'd bought so much MPOE :p
adlai: at least, not in
the vault where we'd expect
adlai: mircea_popescu: maybe less braindamaged with
the unspoken assumption spelled out:
that some nontrivial amount of
the gold returned
to germany etc must first be bought on
the open market, since it might not exist in any vault right now
mats_cd03: i wonder how much credibility i just lost giving
that info up
mircea_popescu: still, been in
teh army and can speak chinese by 22 ? you're way ahead of
teh curve.
mircea_popescu: that's pretty young. i
thought we had a coupla
teens
tho.
mircea_popescu: "market discipline" being you know, just
this boogaboo
to scare argentina with
mircea_popescu: and so
the scammers of all stripes and colors, under
the high patronage of
the united states government, keep doing great business.
mircea_popescu: other
than
that, germany is always happy
to
think
that a claim, no matter how unlikely,
to "its gold" is more valuable
to it
than blowing
the scam open.
mircea_popescu: in
the entire history of
that fucking
thing,
there's like, one case where
the "i'll pay a little sometime when i can"
thing blew up, and
that was when mpoe-pr prosecuted harnett's "bank
mircea_popescu: decimation here's
the
thing with scammers, in bitcoin or otherwise :
to
the chump, a "claim" is worth as much as it can be pretended into being worth. and so,
to chump-germany or
to random
tardstalk "investor", it is actually better
to credit
the scammer ("oh,
they'll repay eventually)
than
to enforce
the loss.
mircea_popescu: you srsly just went "we'll see how it goes for employees, maybe 50 btc in danny's wallet is a great
thing for
them" ?
adlai: we'll see how
things work out for germany in a decade. who knows, maybe all
that gold being bought on
the open market will pay off nicely for germany by
the
time
they receive it
mircea_popescu: so it works EXACTLY
the same,
they're just doing what
they're used
to
decimation: heh. in
that case germany 'tried'
to actually
take
the 'bill' from
the 'wallet',
turns out
they couldn't and just gave up
decimation: works
the same way with
the FDIC and us banks
mircea_popescu: (you see
this money in "your" 401k in my wallet ? it's yours i promise!)
mircea_popescu: people are just doing what
they're used
to, and
then
they're surprised when it doesn't work. it didn't work before, either, but hey, still in denial about
that part.
adlai: mircea_popescu: but
this is a level beyond,
this is "I'll pay you
to work for me. Here, you see
this bill in my wallet? It's yours already, I promise!"
mircea_popescu: adlai: "He is also in possession of personal bitcoins of
two employees (~50 bitcoins)" how do
things go
this far wrong? << it's called "shut up and
take my money". aka, people are uncannily inept.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: i wonder if im
the youngest asset-er << how old are you ?
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03:
the
tricky part is speaking it, i often sub in canto words by abusing
tones and i don't realize im doing it << dude's got some problems i can scarcely imagine.
mircea_popescu: scam ddos, it does nothing by itself, it just hopes and prays maybe someone gives a shit so
that
the "countermeasures" actually do some damage.
mircea_popescu: i mean i'm
tempted
to ban ll and psychouroboros just so i don't have
to watch
three lines per hour or w/e.
mircea_popescu: not like we want
the sort of noobs it filters out anyways.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla dude
this ratpoison business is making join/part swarm literally 300% worse. just
turn it off, it ain't worth it.
