mircea_popescu: 140 is too many!
jurov: ok, so script then...
mircea_popescu: practically that's having one.
jurov: the larger can be easily verified that there are only removals
asciilifeform: with one of them 2MB?!!!
jurov: i still think having two patches is easiest way out
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform patch diff to say "binary path/file snipped in principle" ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: article: 'the hunchback will straighten in the grave.'
assbot: Modern medicine and the benefits of democracy pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/modern-medicine-and-the-benefits-of-democracy/ << this piece is guaranteed to get you thinking.
asciilifeform: and it ought to be about 1kb long.
jurov: asciilifeform: what about two diffs, one with only removed files
asciilifeform: meaning, we may as well be asking folks to run arbitrary binary turd that mr. sp4mz0r built in his cellar, for winblows 98.
asciilifeform: if we have a meg of extraneous turd in a diff, then we're in 'infinity' in the one, two, three, infinity hierarchy of being.
asciilifeform: short as in - not much more than levenshtein distance between the trees.
asciilifeform: try to appreciate how i got here. i want --short-- diffs.
ben_vulpes: people committing binaries are also using Github or other tools that paper over the horror.
asciilifeform: what do the diffs end up looking like?
ben_vulpes: oh no, they commit them.
asciilifeform: 'don't commit binaries' - where do people keep bitmaps? up their arses?
asciilifeform is floored by the stink of the turd he's stepped in
ben_vulpes: "diff and patch can't handle binaries. so don't commit them, duh."
asciilifeform beats hare, teaches it to light matches.
mircea_popescu: fucking russkies will be the end of the civilised world.
mircea_popescu: yeah you don't understand how the world works.
ben_vulpes: "don't commit binaries to VCS!"
asciilifeform: no complaints whatsoever, that i was able to find, about deleting bins.
asciilifeform: don't believe? search the net.
asciilifeform: incidentally, there's a larger lesson here. folks have been using 'version control' gizmos for so long, that approximately no one even notices that 'diff' is broken.
asciilifeform: on their own hides.
asciilifeform: i want people to see what i spoke of when said 'cannot polish turd'
asciilifeform: did not expect easy. in fact, undertook this exercise partly from ulterior motive to demonstrate the sheer amount of braindamage.
mircea_popescu: im bemused by your apparent expectation for it to be easy
asciilifeform: or no sane man with skin in the game will use it.
asciilifeform: no manual monkey business, nothing specified 'in human language' other than 'run this like so.'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu, others: you must appreciate why this is necessary. it is direly important. our patch set must start with a known, traditional tree, and end with the end product.
mircea_popescu: there's some derivatives tho iirc.
asciilifeform: want to delete turd by path.
asciilifeform: without having to specify the contents!
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> without having to specify it <<< ahhahahaha.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: http://cryptome.org/2014/10/BTAgent-cpe-backdoor.htm <<< this shit's pretty insane. cazalla i think we want to show some support ? <<< BB better suited to these leads
cazalla: jurov: cazalla how is cryptomoneyexpo different from all the other chumpferences? <<< it's not, it's a bunch of friends using bots to fill up their habbo hotel to bang coinfire outta 10k
assbot: The mystery of the disappearing Silk Road murder charges
cazalla: mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: cazalla: http://www.dailydot.com/crime/silk-road-murder-charges-ross-ulbricht/ <<<< cazalla this totally needs all the research you can throw at it. what the fuck is the story there, they got raped on the "undercover" work ? how ? why ? major point loss for the omni-impotent usg. <<< please to be sending tech/law leads to BingoBoingo
asciilifeform: try it with just a dir with a turd from /dev/null in it.
asciilifeform: in such a way that 'patch' applies it.
asciilifeform: just want to remove a dir with binaries, and have the resulting diff file reflect this fact
ben_vulpes: what is a in this context? 0.5.3?
asciilifeform: if this is not possible, unix patch is retarded.
asciilifeform: and who will agree to run them?
asciilifeform: i mean wtf, do i have to distribute perl scripts instead of diffs?
asciilifeform: without having to specify it
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i just want the cursed thing gone
thestringpuller: asciilifeform you are good at the turdisms...do you have a list somewhere?
asciilifeform: diff -uNr does not zap these
asciilifeform: which contains png turdlets
asciilifeform: trying to include a zap for the entire qt dir
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: do they have common suffixes?
asciilifeform: because not only i, but anyone who'd agree to do this in my place, will need this answer.
pete_dushenski: sorta like oxygen, tis all around us.
assbot: Biting Into The WoT Elephant (And IRC Nicknames) | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
ben_vulpes: diffing whole trees?
asciilifeform: without crapping in the output
asciilifeform: who can remember how to force 'diff' to create patch that removes binary files?
mircea_popescu: and the third then is ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVtapIMHTXs
mircea_popescu: oral stage's the first.
asciilifeform: show me the programmer who's passed anal stage
mircea_popescu: "i dunno... kiling you and fucking your mother again, maybe this time she spits out something functional"
thestringpuller: asciilifeform just a bag of shit passed round'nround << what's with the obsession with poop?
mircea_popescu: "o, mp, what would be ~your~ suggestion for fixing this problem we invented ?!?!? huh ?!?!?"
assbot: USGavin, the lolcow pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/usgavin-the-lolcow/#comment-109197 << gotta love all this "expertise"
ben_vulpes: sure that's a slice less complexity
thestringpuller: ^- would be interesting to not have it hosted anywhere
asciilifeform: i'm not even convinced this needs hosting
mircea_popescu: not like the chairs have to spend it. it can end up like fcuking princeton, owning a billion dolars in investments.
mircea_popescu: bounties i guess ? i dunno. mostly to satisfy the people who would like to contribute but have no skills/time to offer.
ben_vulpes: well then the thing wants a treasurer as well.
mircea_popescu: to differentiate from the scam currently masquerading as a bitcoin "foundation"
mircea_popescu: a promise should be made for accounts publishing at the least
ben_vulpes: if there's a budget, something can be said about it
mircea_popescu: methinks amend takes one m
mircea_popescu: discontinued or ammended in such a way as to no longer conflict with Bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: when any other thing conflicts with Bitcoin, that other thing must either be
mircea_popescu: community growth and development, under the general principle that if and
mircea_popescu: "``THE BITCOIN FOUNDATION'' will endeavour to provide these, while fostering
mircea_popescu scrolls back for mod6's thing
jurov: options between x.eur/mpexbtc are doable. but no one is willing to put his balls into there
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: the idea is for people to be able to go "i support the bitcoin foundation" and for derps to go oh, this thing ? and for people to lol superiorly at their cluelessness. << fwiw i can see it.
asciilifeform cocks blaster, prepares to zap crud
mike_c: <+asciilifeform> but - i do so hate the sea of ifdefs. << totally agreed on this.
TheNewDeal: Mp as far as the shitty spot price goes, couldnt one set up some actual usd deverable calls/puts at certain prices to protect against a rigged signal?
asciilifeform: but - i do so hate the sea of ifdefs.
asciilifeform: mike_c: isolated << if you want to write this, and sign it, who am i to say you oughtn't.
mircea_popescu: can be safely gay knowing you won't be splayed by too big a tool.
mircea_popescu: undata you know i hear that's the appeal of the trannies ?
undata: mircea_popescu | mike_c only thing going to the moon is undata. << maybe I'll luck out and Elon's overcompensating
mircea_popescu: "Evidence of media fakery that implied corruption in the local health authority and indeed in NHS England. It was one of many similar fake news stories - viz the engineered "Mid Staffs Crisis" used to provide the pretext for rationalising and closing health facilities across the country."
asciilifeform: mike_c: aha and now you'll be up to your knees in microshit
asciilifeform: want raw block device access for weaning the thing off bdb? tough
