Azelphur: (11:24:09) moriarty:
there's also ##econometrics given your interest in cryptocurrencies
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: can we have /mode +b *!*@unaffiliated/moriarty please, all he does is join here
to pm spam and
then leave :P
adlai: can't a man lurk
these days
mats_cd03: a dummy didn't include a
tx fee, now funds are in limbo
mats_cd03: hes a funny guy. i made seven figures

Azelphur: this channel really needs more
than 2 ops XD
Azelphur: and for bonus points he's now joining other channels
to harass me :P
Vexual: she stole some crayons and stuff and
the otto was a resounding success for year sto come
Vexual: here, have a lotto
ticket
Vexual: talk about horse pulling
the wagon
Vexual: back when i was a kid, if you wanted a virtual office you had
to convince someone
to do it
Vexual: schoolar ships is
the hard way now?
cascadian_derper: anyways, a question for
the chan: "what disqualifies 053 and what criteria should be used
to pick an 'angry' bitcoin?"
assbot: Logged on 21-11-2014 01:38:58; mircea_popescu: well anyway :
two
trains moving on
the same
track leave simultaneously 29 miles apart, one doing 5mph
the other 7mp. a fly caugh between
them flies straight until it reaches a
train
then
turns back and recurses, doing 9mph.
decimation: and it's another
to do so without any imagining
the possibility of an alternative
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla it's one
thing
to live in mud, it's another
thing
to live in excrement.
assbot: Logged on 23-11-2014 04:53:31; asciilifeform: quite possibly
this is ideal scenario. a hardfork
that sane folks on
the whole planet would immediately flee
to.
kakobrekla: we do it anyway, lets not pretend on
top.
kakobrekla: and if it did, what is one going
to do about it. (my
take is: nothing, continue
to suck cock)
mircea_popescu: we (tm) don't
think so, but we (tm) would very much like
this cultish belief verified independently and scientifically.
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu no
the question was did someone abuse
the britneychain
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: no
that wasnt
the question << i guess
time will
tell no ?
decimation: this
too could be implemented with crypto-wot routers
mircea_popescu: Vexual: remember,
this lady prolly get free handbags and parties << not in romania, not really. she gets free $5 drinks. which... you know.
decimation: really, what
the existing internet fails at is a decent multicast model
mircea_popescu: if
the average per-kb page of internet communication were one gallon of gasoline, i wouldn't have
to explain
to idiots why i don't want
to see "webcasts" and why im in irc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was five cents a minute yo! at
the
time a minute meant one page, or a gallon of gasoline.
decimation: well, in elder days when
the internet wasn't full of orcs it kinda seemed ok
mircea_popescu: think about
that.
think about
the early days of bbs, which is how routing fucking got invented in
the first placer
mircea_popescu: decimation it's not retarded if you
think of how fucking cheap it is.
decimation: it violates
the principle of "the highest protocol layer ought
to control" (end-to-end argument)
decimation: tcp really is pretty retarded if you
think about
decimation: I
think mr. yarvin pointed
to some internet elder figure who was hawking
this idea (also urbit)
decimation: why bother with
the illusion of a private point-to-point connection if you can deploy a nice global namespace
undata: asciilifeform:
the crude idea I had previously was just
trying
to jam a WoT into
the blockchain
decimation: asciilifeform: I'm not sure you really need
tcp at all if you have a crypto-wot
mircea_popescu: 2. Stepped in a majority of
the holes, landmines and caltrops available.
mircea_popescu: 1. Not produced one single brilliant solution
to any actual problem.
mircea_popescu: "I'm not sure
this is getting
through
the fog of
their own farts, but
the group of power rangers has so far:
undata: asciilifeform: you're about a mile over my head, but
the n-axis WoT idea has had my brain churning since hearing about it
mircea_popescu: that
they went all "o you dudes are like power rangers"!!!
mircea_popescu: the gushing hordes on reddit were so very impressed with how
the idiots in question "fixed"
the problem (through leveraging a 50%+1 attack against
the blockchain,
thourgh meanwhile discredited bircoin mining pools)
undata: asciilifeform: where's your kyristor post? I want
to re-read it.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: what is
the origin of
this 'power rangers' nick? << hours after
the fork gavin & hearn brought upon
the network
through
their alleged ineptitude (which allegation i don't credit, it was deliberate)
mircea_popescu: ie, "are or are you not reachable
through some node somewhere
that doesn't
think you're a
total waste of biological matter."
mircea_popescu: it WOULD give
the old re-routability properties of
the web a lot of value again.
mircea_popescu: only if every router out
there actually implements
this scheduling
undata: use flags are a bit of a blunt instrument, but
they work
undata: as long as
the maintainer bothered, and
the package is configurable
undata: portage does a pretty good job of
that
mircea_popescu: right. but follow
through = exactly what you'd expect, if redmond ran
things.
mircea_popescu: the fucking networking widget should instal and run without netbase, and do everything including populate
the fucking fields and drawing
the graphs.
mircea_popescu: "your program must work whether any or all
the dependencies exist on
the syste"
mircea_popescu: there must also somehow be added in
there a "no dependencies" rule, somehow.
undata hopes
to see any of
the
things asciilifeform has described someday
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in any case, my original change
to github and generally
the mangement of open source codebase of "add a read by X" field is not actually enough.
mircea_popescu: just like
there's no punishment for
the anon derp hiding behind "contributed a patch
to openssh"
mircea_popescu: because
there is no punishment for
the anon derp hiding behind "From: cve-assign () mitre org"
mircea_popescu: right,
those same resources
that are drained away with crafted bullshit like
this, a million different places.
mircea_popescu: and so you know,
to quote pankkake, "So, we'll see if
the end-users actually want
to commit resources on not using systemd."
mircea_popescu: and you know,
talk abut "do-ocracy".
the fake do-ocracy of
they firing out syn packets and
then closing
the socket.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the attackers can just keep right on firing packets
mircea_popescu: and
the usg wins anwyay, for
the exact reason spam works :
those five people were
tied up for
the five minutes
they
took
to write and
the however many it
took
them
to consider all
the angles.
mircea_popescu: then 5 different names have
to waste
the
time out of
their day, come in and say yo fuckwits!
mircea_popescu: such bright future with
the bright kids
the fucktarded "progressive" generation spawned.
they've
tried and
therefore nobody should criticize
them!
touch
the screen now! Change
the world! revolutionize
the
tubes! 2.0!
mircea_popescu: in five years people will be asking me why
they can't load qntra and instead of pointing
to braindamaged "code is poetry" wordpress version 1-4, i'll point at braindamaged "code is poetry" wordpress versions 1-28, AND at systemd "hey, you can
talk directly
to
the dns resolver, because it's on a fixed port, and
the legit server can't even race you because it is standards compliant and waits while you rape
the stack.
mircea_popescu: why not just put it in journal binary files with
the core dumps!!1
kakobrekla: are you going
to ignore everything after 252450
mircea_popescu: later in
that
thread, "(This systemd component is optional, I strongly recommend not
to ship it. It's not even possible right now
to dump
the cache contents
to debug such issues.)"
Vexual: did you see
that snl bit?
mircea_popescu: holy shit is
there something
that's done right in systemd?
