mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-23#1874269 << this has actually been a problem he's been not fixing for over a year now. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-23 01:19 BingoBoingo: Maybe a gossling would be the step up, but when it's a 10 kg goose likely to die at your hand for insufficient adorability to aggress in the manner of geese
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-23#1874263 << duck also pretty fiesty, at that. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: so now one day at the beach, when left behind with a girl because its mistress had... well, was busy ok, it wouldn't even eat the most delicious tp! NOT SAFE TO EAT TREATS WITHOUT BELOVED MISTRESS!
mircea_popescu: for incomprehensible reasons, chimichurri ~loves~ toilet paper. it'll stuff its craw with the stuff, if you hold a square up for it, shred it and pack it like there's no tomorrow. (and then its squeak changes, too, cuz obviously that thing dries out its liquids lmao). so now and again friendly folk might offer it a square. (gotta be the right, fluffy stuff i use tho).
a111: Logged on 2018-11-23 01:09 BingoBoingo: Duckling is best baby easter animal. Much better than fucking rabbits.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-23#1874262 << yeah. for one thing, they attach ~something fierce~. possibly the most attachment-inclined living thing. ☝︎
diana_coman: when I say I can't comment I mean it barfs with "incorrect captcha" while the captcha thing says it's shut down so no word to enter ☟︎
diana_coman: ugh, asciilifeform I can't seem to be able to comment on your blog? (and fwiw it's also a pain because it won't work with ip in hosts only, I have to access it from toilet-pc)
BingoBoingo: ;tldr Guy holed himself up, wounded two cops, cops wounded his legs and took him
BingoBoingo: In local news the bomb squad is doing something in the barrio Goes
BingoBoingo: Maybe a gossling would be the step up, but when it's a 10 kg goose likely to die at your hand for insufficient adorability to aggress in the manner of geese ☟︎

mircea_popescu: it literally is like a velociraptor with a beak, that thing.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "oh, these big ducks, fixing me the best worm yet!!" << Nice predator instincts
a111: Logged on 2018-11-16 00:27 mircea_popescu: who THE FUCK thought it's ok for the fs to not take arbitrary indices, like, ever, in the whole thirty seconds history of sitting-here-quietly-and-thinking-abnout-computers as it stretches from 1971 onwards.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, to continue the related thread of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-16#1872694 -- what is the difference between ./a/b/file.txt and /ab/file.txt ? RIGHT ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: of course, no paths means there's a 16k limit or so on files or w/e nonsense it was ...
mircea_popescu: the data is structured anyway for the program, there's no absolute requirement to ship it with storage adnotations. ☟︎
diana_coman: I can certainly see the temptation; I'd say there is still time to chew on this, as it's not yet burning
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i am tempted to ditch paths.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, fixed-length strings get rid of all sorts of ugh pretty much everywhere; this being said, I can't quite tell what we need as filenames and recall that they include the path - I think that's the main reason why it will still be variable
mircea_popescu: in other related matters : i'm authorizing her to add a patch on s.mg crypto lib, to permit arbitrary size e. i recall the threads at the time, but there's a ~really~ good reason to do it : we don't want to pass back and forth kbs worth of exponents. udp packets are small, and there's all the complicated matchwork of sizes meeting keys etc. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: re http://ossasepia.com/2018/11/22/smg-comms-chapter-9-files-transfers-and-requests/#selection-41.799-41.846 diana_coman you know we ~could~ do this. "all filenames are 32 characters long followed by a dot and 3 character extension". what's to keep us, filenames only exist as server declares them anyway.
mircea_popescu: "oh, these big ducks, fixing me the best worm yet!!"
mircea_popescu: it seems to think the whole hullaballoo was for it!
diana_coman: awww, did the duckling see it?
mircea_popescu just put to oven a duck! on cabbage!

lobbesbot: phf: Sent 3 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plox to snarf http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2798 into http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=ffa , ty
phf: going through the backlog of snarfs right now
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf plox to snarf http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2798 into http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=ffa , ty
BingoBoingo: Anyways this agent better now mess up my power now that the chorizo, onions, etc are browning for the stuffing
mircea_popescu: hopefully riding a trained goat!
a111: Logged on 2018-11-22 15:51 mircea_popescu: !Qlater tell hanbot let me guess, your znc ran out of batteries!
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-22#1874222 << yeh, they sent a mini-agent for mine ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I expect to get a letter in the mail next week about the outage getting rescheduled por el calor
BingoBoingo: And the power at the habitation unit did not go out, but the kiosk on this block dutifully cut their own power at the breakers
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: The operation succeeded.

asciilifeform proofreading the quite elephantine ch. 12B
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 17:43 mircea_popescu: now as to new extensions... imo bad idea. there's manifests and things now.
diana_coman: mod6, as asciilifeform says, essentially it's preferred to keep same; for ref, logs discussion http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-19#1851864 ☝︎
mod6: Thanks for the info asciilifeform. For now, I've just named them the same as the original ones, for testing here on my own. Was able to press with `vk.pl` successfully, and build a trb from that pressed keccak vtree.
asciilifeform: mod6: mircea_popescu specifically didn't want to change the file ext. ( but only barfed lightly when asciilifeform proclaimed 'i'ma make mine foo.kv.vpatch cuz i have 90000 private vpatches in old form' )
BingoBoingo: In local news: McDonald's second best place to work per the paper of record https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/-cuales-son-los-mejores-lugares-para-trabajar-en-uruguay--20181120134523
mod6: (I made a trb keccak tree over here, just about to test it out. So far, that was my only question. Once done testing and things, will bake blog posts about diana_coman's vk.pl and the grinding of the keccak vtree.)
mod6: Hi, was it decided that we would change vpatch names to have the word 'keccak' in them? Or simply keep the same as before?
asciilifeform: 'The company's lone violation is for an April 2017 accident in which an employee lost the tips of two fingers, resulting in a $750 fine.' << if troo, this is cleaner record than most auto repair shops, i suspect

asciilifeform: ( and while we're in 'gate voltages', imho 'worry' is exactly like parasitic oscillation -- whether in electrical machine or the vibration that slowly destroys a sad washing machine )
asciilifeform: it's supposed to be gate voltage, yes. i.e. narrow down the phase space of possible meaning
mircea_popescu: we use it by defining arbitrary "gate voltages" if you will, of "something-vs-nothing", but these are cultural, contextual and personal.
asciilifeform: rather than rng hiss
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: presuming we're talking about an actual critter rather than eliza, can then assume that if it put down words, then meant ~sumthing~ ?
diana_coman: I can't quite tell for sure what she means by worry i.e. if empty loop or not
asciilifeform: but in orcistan i dunno what'd be the point
asciilifeform: diana_coman: pnoje-gps-ism is wildly popular in usa, where folx drive 100+km erry day and thing (nominally) walks'em around crashes/jams
asciilifeform: but worry is simply empty loop. ( and i think mircea_popescu hooks'em up to 220v when he finds'em doing it )
diana_coman: I'm scratching my head more at the "how I was surviving without a smart phone and much longer could I live like this." + notebook maps etc but I suppose I'm essentially already too old to fully grasp the phone attachment thing
asciilifeform: in the end ragnarok anyway, yggdrasil topples, serpent nidhogg will eat world. why worry.
mircea_popescu: what, that's something to worry about at any point. ready worry fodder.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform she had to buy http://trilema.com/2013/were-all-one/#selection-311.1-311.71 (which she did, and which apparently also comes as bars!)
asciilifeform: 'I was not much of a calming presence due to my own anxiety about bitcoin and soap.' << lolwat!
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "Press Space to pause time."
BingoBoingo: Which just about eliminates the possibility of actual turkey tomorrow (all locally available are US style giants, frozen god only knows when)
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: plz post the exact announced outage time asap << FTR the planned outage time is approximadamente entre 9 y 13
mircea_popescu: the jokes and the sluts, yea.
trinque: asciilifeform: makes me think I gotta learn russian just for the jokes
BingoBoingo: I thought block would imply residential, but rereading after the panic
a111: Logged on 2015-11-18 14:54 asciilifeform: shinohai: 'i heard that ivan won a car in the lotto.' 'yes! but not ivan but piotr, not a car but an overcoat, not in lotto but at cards, and not won but lost'
mircea_popescu: that was trippy.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, apologies for the lack of context
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform mircea_popescu: Power outage is not for the rack
trinque: since its set up to have classical gentoo portage as "just another repo" I haven't had a single problem with building things that aren't yet vpatch-ebuilds
asciilifeform: trinque: i'm quite looking forward to adult cuntoo , eventually would like to move whole buncha boxes to it
trinque: just need to make an ebuild of phf's latest, haven't done that yet, and to see what deps it will require in the genesis.
trinque: I'm running one of my primary work boxes on cuntoo atm, working great. I'm going to try to cut a release during the holiday.
trinque: asciilifeform: not stuck, swapped onto wallet work for a bit. improved the deposit handling and swept a bunch of small outputs.
mircea_popescu: da fuck "planned" is this, "tomorrow".
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo definitely gotta be there.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plz post the exact announced outage time asap
asciilifeform has a box ready for beta cuntoo any day of the week
trinque: I guess next time I'm wrestling the portage snake at 11pm I'll say "at least spyked is enjoying himself"

asciilifeform: trinque: spyked seems to be on a multi-month 'see the world' thing, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-04#1869254 ☝︎
diana_coman: thanks trinque !
asciilifeform: ( and peculiarly coincident with trinque's deedbot hiccups from last night )
asciilifeform: cuz it's a mighty convenient time for interloper to diddle boxes.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: how long outage ? and can you arrange to be there when it happens ?
BingoBoingo: In other lolz, I got a phone call warning me of planned power outage for my block tomorrow
trinque: diana_coman: you want these aimed at you in pm?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-30 14:58 spyked: but I will rebase the rss bot on top of this afterwards and I'll ping you right before I bring rss in-chan.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-30#1819758 << once there was a guy who was gonna take this over. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: im guessing there's no real need to have the rss bot melded into deedbot rly.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-24 02:10 trinque: the !!subscribe lever is detached, yes, since it used to run back to a pretty sad pile of duct tape.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-24#1804958 -> is this still detached? ☝︎
deedbot: diana_coman subscription to http://trilema.com/2018/euloras-communication-protocol-restated/feed failed
diana_coman: hm, does this need to be in here? I tried in pm and it says it failed
