Maryjane: Most hobbyists I know here cannot keep up with keeping the bees tho
decimation: the bees are worth their wage when they pollinate more efficiently than the alternatives
decimation: mircea_popescu: I suspect that any farmer who actually plans on living on his own harvest is much the same
Maryjane: Bees are extremely expensive both money and time wise
Maryjane: So buy them lol
Maryjane: Almond expenses go to ppl like me too
decimation: yeah but almonds are delicious, I'm glad for the bees.
Maryjane: Almond Honey tastes like leather shoes
decimation: Maryjane: in California for the almonds?
mircea_popescu: in the countryside i mean.
cazalla: i could host the hive elsewhere but defeats the added benefit of having the bees in the backyard to help pollinate veg and fruit trees
mircea_popescu: back in romania, pretty much any old guy that's not a fucktard keeps bees
decimation: cazalla: the People continue to wage war on anything unusual
cazalla: mircea_popescu, you need to register for a licence, another keep has to come check out your hive, hive cannot be within x distance of other homes plus others
decimation: Maryjane: do you move your hives long distances to pollinate?
Maryjane: We lost some due to wax moth damage
mircea_popescu: cazalla you need a permit to keep bees ?!
Maryjane: 7000 lbs this yr but I worked commercially
Maryjane: I treat
cazalla: i wanted to get into bees this spring but council regs won't permit it :\
Maryjane: Any man made pesticide will weaken their immune system but plant based is ok
decimation: cell phone radiation just doesn't affect things that much
decimation: eh, I think that theory is crazy. much more likely is widespread pesticide us
xanthyos: do you think it's related at all to cell phone tower radiation?
Maryjane: We had epic basswood honey this yr
decimation: the russian sage in front of my home was filled with bees this summer, they are gone now
Maryjane: They aren't too bothered by varroa
Maryjane: Their immune system is stronger against varroa than carnolians
decimation: do the russian bees seem more resistant to the mites? It appears the gov't thinks that's the case.
Maryjane: We treat with powdered sugar to help that issue
Maryjane: Carnolians are great they originated in like the southern Austrian alps and Danube valley
Maryjane: They made a new queen and she calmed the whole colony
Maryjane: They'll adapt by themselves
decimation: interesting. apparently the bees are are aware of the 'one drop' rule
Maryjane: Yes. They could. But that could go either good or bad
xanthyos: and make the perfect broodwich
decimation: I suspect the best 'solution' is to interbreed the africanized bees with other species and select against aggressive broods.
Maryjane: Italians and carni's are what we raise here usually, but bees even African iced are highly adapted creatures. The African iced ones are forced into a place they don't thrive. It's like how the Russian bees don't do well here either
decimation: seems to me that the main danger is letting neglected properties become fully infested
decimation: what do you make of the panic with respect to the africanized bees coming from the south?
decimation: Maryjane: do you live in the usa?
Maryjane: It's wintering season atm though
decimation: asciilifeform: amusing story. the moral: once a wasp - always a wasp until death or total victory
kakobrekla: not too shabby eh
BingoBoingo: What brings you around these parts?
decimation: " For example, in America, observed de Tocqueville, a book that does not make money – because it does not sell well – cannot be good, because the test of all goodness is money. And anything that makes a profit must be admirable in every way. I"
BingoBoingo: Using the ponzi label when advertising a Ponzi anytime after the historical ponzi's bust... fine. Advertizing ponzi under any other brand like Pirateat40, not fine.
BingoBoingo: With the caveat that you only advertise for Satan under his own brand.
mircea_popescu: lol that's a point
BingoBoingo: Safer to make ads for satan. Recognizable brand. Customers know what they get when the Buy Satan.
danielpbarron: in one of their recent radio broadcasts, they practically told listeners to buy bitcoin from one of their advertisers in order to pay for drugs on the silkroad
cazalla: they don't get it, i'm not claiming they ran the ponzi but assisted it and like andreas, they don't accept their foolish behaviour so it will happen again
assbot: Oh, man. This is too sweet. http://t.co/2oMG2KYkPs /FreeTalkLive /sovryntech /S_Murphy_PhD /qntra /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash-assets
cazalla: i don't know how they could create an advertisement like that without at all being suspicious
assbot: FreeTalkLive (@FreeTalkLive) | Twitter
danielpbarron: cazalla, Mark Edge was also in the ad; he's one of the freetalklive guys I've been tweeting at / seems to be the one managing @FreeTalkLive http://twitter.com/FreeTalkLive
assbot: How to issue a cryptosecurity - O.info
thestringpuller: https://o.info/index.php/How_to_issue_a_cryptosecurity << where did this wiki come from ~_~

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller you had been ipbanned. i fixt it now. check tor too, if it works now then well... it's not all that tor-y
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> i don't understand. what's the fun of all the ddos if you're not going to come in here and taunt? << i was doing the taunting. saturated mkt.
mircea_popescu: because as usual, bad money drives out the good
thestringpuller: yea I can get through to trilema and qntra with tor
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the basic fact is, unless you have the infrastructure for reprocessing hot fiat into purified chumpatronium, botnet is not of particularly much use today. << that's the beauty of nature tho! instead of making it secure, they decided to "stop criminality" by making criminal-cash worthless. inasmuch as they've rpetty much succeeded... they also made their own cash worthless.
assbot: /sovryntech and /S_Murphy_PhD helped bitcoin trader market their pump, scammers along with /aantonop, seems like all you lot at LTB are init
thestringpuller: i'm going to retry with tor
thestringpuller: is trilema down for anyone else?
mike_c: i don't understand. what's the fun of all the ddos if you're not going to come in here and taunt?
decimation: trying to live off six figures of botnet-bezzled fiat
asciilifeform: ('live on' means, roughly, six fig. usd minimum., equiv. - folks who can live on tree bark, don't need to descend to writing turdware, tree bark is normally free for the taking)
asciilifeform: assuming no wish to forfeit your arse by dealing in fiat with known fiatmiscreants
asciilifeform: botnet << see logs from other day for rough calculation of how even half a million bots would scarcely suffice to live on
decimation: one imagines King Louis joining the paris mobs
decimation: asciilifeform: what I find amusing is that obama was complaining about credit card fraud while he (or at least, the people over which he nominally presides) are chiefly responsible
asciilifeform: the rest - prey animals for the 'tough on cyb3rsc4mz0rs!!!111!! arm of usg.
asciilifeform: the people who have the silent crown blessing to carry on with this - know who they are.
asciilifeform: (what fiat? mostly shenanigans revolving around the us/natoblok idiot credit card system)
asciilifeform: the basic fact is, unless you have the infrastructure for reprocessing hot fiat into purified chumpatronium, botnet is not of particularly much use today.
asciilifeform: decimation: existing botnet << often quite trivial. but then what to do with it.
TheNewDeal: I've been using them pretty much the last 12 hours with no issues. Must have just started
decimation: "with paper money he could buy a lot of the deeds needed to back up the words. With paper money he could persuade the Sirian foe to kick himself good and hard in the pants and save the Terrans a tedious chore"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: How do you thing NSA/FBI does their DDOs? They pirate legit ru/cn/Ohio botnets
mircea_popescu: o it thought the truely elite haxxor works for the nsa
decimation: the truely elite hax0r figures out how to pirate an existing botnet
asciilifeform: decimation: this was the most illiterate possible turd, consisting of entirely unmodified 'putty' with a batch script giving it command line args to create 'ssh tunnel.'
decimation: asciilifeform: w.r.t. the 'putty' controller above, I thought 'modern' malware used generated dns records to 'phone home'
asciilifeform: ehe. i've a honeypot coughing up log to a scrolling term at all hours, reliably farts wp probing
mircea_popescu: dude do you know how much meat is out there ?
decimation: it's pretty likely that someone 'behind' the victim press sites have something to do with the ddos
mircea_popescu: i've been spidering the net since early oct
asciilifeform: though i imagine they're already rather occupied.
asciilifeform: well then.
mircea_popescu: let's not confuse things. the chump's list is 5k
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 5k bots is rather threadbare for this purpose
asciilifeform: decimation: or to fetch backups (we all have them, no..?)
mircea_popescu: then take out one by one all the "press venues" that failed to report on my article, while at it.
decimation: cryptolocker's approach is to force the victim to do the conversion of fiat to btc, like a mule
mircea_popescu: so now the moral dilemma of all time : should i use my list of wordpress installs to blow wordpress.com off the internets or shouldn't i.
asciilifeform: turdware is an interestingly btc-related 'scientific' field, because one hundred percent of folks with brains who have any truck with turdware (production end, that is) occupy themselves with somehow mapping their activity to btc income.
decimation: actually that was flash exploited via excel http://gcn.com/articles/2011/04/04/rsa-hack-securid-adobe-flash.aspx
