mircea_popescu: in short -- none of
this elaborate shit is actually idiosyncratic.
mircea_popescu: and
the box it sits on can only scp into webtron ? (if so, it should be ON webtron ; if not so...
that's your hole right
there. etc)
mircea_popescu: srsly now, way
the fuck better
to have
that on a webserver.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at
this juncture,
trying
to automate
the automation. going slowly.
mircea_popescu: and i'd 1000% rather have php machine do image manipulation
than whatever local machine with scp authority, i'll
tell you
that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform something wrong with
the perlisms -- unportable ;
therefore unstandard[izable] etc.
mircea_popescu: all inliuned pics are however linked
to 1024px wide originals.
mircea_popescu: and im so fucking
thankful for not needing
to know any of
this.
mircea_popescu: 700 is no viewport i ever heard of.
the choices are 640, 1024 and 1280, practically.
mircea_popescu: except 640 px with
toolbars (which are needed, long discussion i won't get into, but
trilema isn't laid out
the way it is because
that's what came out of FG), even if you (stupidly) use just one, leaves 400px wide pix.
that's a stamp.
mircea_popescu: if you want
them left-alligned as opposed
to centered, do you spew
the div code by hand ? do you remember what it is,
too ? do you keep it somewhere (and
then remember where
that is) ?
mircea_popescu: how big should
the pics be ? if you scale
them by hand, what do you do, use a byte of memory
to save
this ?
mircea_popescu: it eminently IS blogotron's job
to do such, because blogotron knows and you shouldn't care what
the constraints are.
mircea_popescu: this "oh, i won't play eulora" "oh, i won't use mp-wp" is starting
to smack of specialsnowflakeism already. you realise
this, dildos fuck your holes exactly as well as anyone else's,
they're holes,
the hole pre-exists your personal notion of
the self.
mircea_popescu: kinda
the whole fucking point of having it is so 500 alfs mockys etc don't have
to all step on
the same rakes on
their own
time individually.
mircea_popescu: exactly like Mocky 's experience.
t0 "oh, ima just make a hand cranked webotron"
t1-tn : "does feature i work ?" "nope!"
mircea_popescu: the
thing is yet again "at my sheep farm we don't drink milk from special vessels". sure. nor do you have
to. civilisation however is built out of pots and pans.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mp-wp does a bunch of useful
things, such as adnotating
the img
tags, resizing
the image
to your pre-set sizes so you never have
to worry about formatting, balancing
them out in directories etc etc.
mircea_popescu: there really is ~0 reason
to have something like mp-wp in multiple DIRECTORIES chockfulla files.
mircea_popescu: hanbot well, keep good notes, maybe unroll
the whole monstrosity into a single file eventually.
hanbot: is just stuffed with calls
to other files. atm my goosechase sits in wp-admin/includes/media.php, wherein
the suspected controlling function media_upload_form lives, consists of multiple other functions not defined in
this file. i enjoy
trying
to sort it out but it's indeed at a snail's pace.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-15 04:19 mircea_popescu: hanbot / everyone : speaking of patches for mp-wp, here's something i'd dearly love : a MASS uploader. so you don't have
to upload files one by one in
the webinterface.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-15#1799520 fucking april. it's a
travesty largely fueled by my noobishness. i've had a multi-upload form and script pair for months, been looking under pebbles in
the quarry
that is wp's upload process for a way
to connect
the dots. most recently i've been
trying
to map out on paper what seems
to me
the insane
tangle of files involved in uploading --every damned file
☝︎☝︎ mircea_popescu: end not
to notice anything. For now,
they do not consider our actions as presenting a future danger
to
them. … But, if
the
time comes
that our people's life in Eretz Yisrael will develop
to a point where we are
taking
their place, either slightly or significantly,
the natives are not going
to just step aside so easily."
mircea_popescu: ening around
them. But
this is a grave mistake.
The Arab, like all
the Semites, is sharp minded and shrewd. All
the
townships of Syria and Eretz Yisrael are full of Arab merchants who know how
to exploit
the masses and keep
track of everyone with whom
they deal –
the same as in Europe.
The Arabs, especially
the urban elite, see and understand what we are doing and what we wish
to do on
the land, but
they keep quiet and pret
mircea_popescu: good for planting remain uncultivated and
that's because
the Arabs do not like working
too much in
the present for a distant future.
Therefore, it is very difficult
to find good land for cattle. And not only peasants, but also rich landowners, are not selling good land so easily...We who live abroad are accustomed
to believing
that
the Arabs are all wild desert people who, like donkeys, neither see nor understand what is happ
mircea_popescu: in otherr documentary lulz, "We who live abroad are accustomed
to believe
that almost all Eretz Yisrael is now uninhabited desert and whoever wishes can buy land
there as he pleases. But
this is not
true. It is very difficult
to find in
the land [ha'aretz] cultivated fields
that are not used for planting. Only
those sand fields or stone mountains
that would require
the investment of hard labour and great expense
to make
them
BingoBoingo: They are already kinda moving in
that direction
BingoBoingo: Bezos was a skinny kid who
turned
to doping with fake
testosterone late in life. Session's replacement played Iowa football and makes some of
Trump's professional wrassler friends look small
BingoBoingo: Their men won't look credible, and age will catch up
to Michelle Obama's arms
BingoBoingo: If
that guy runs in 2024, who can
the Democrats credibly put against him on a debate stage?
BingoBoingo: And just for asciilifeform:
The impact of small differences on
Trump's freedom
to act as exemplified by Jeff Session's acting replacement "Incredibly Swole Guy" -
https://archive.is/oTq9X BingoBoingo: Also yesterday
there was no Navidad in
Tienda Inglesa.
Today
there was.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, wedding cake doesn't
touch health in
the way applying hot wax
to delicate skin does.

BingoBoingo: Then again in
this land where you have
to register
to import packaged goods, it is in a
traditional US style paper envelope as opposed
to a clear plastic "sobre"
the Uruguayos insist on using
BingoBoingo: And
then 8 months later someone probably asked
to
throw out
the obstacle blocking
the walkway only for mail
to be discovered
BingoBoingo: I suspect it's more of a cultural
thing. Someone set
the basket of letters in not exactly
the right spot. Being ever so off
to
the side it was studiously ignored because civil servants here "work
to rules" deviating from
the rules only when
their incompetence intervenes.
BingoBoingo: It probably sat in a pile and
the pile was only recently acknowledged

the USPS postmark and

diana_coman: my understanding of
the "smart phone" label was in
the vein of "smarter
than user" so rather accurate, yes
mircea_popescu: nobody with
the "smart"phones ever does, which is i guess
the living proof of why "smart" phones are for dumb people and
the z80 was smart even
tho it didn't LABEL ITSELF SUCH
mircea_popescu: hey, everyonre with
the z80s was
trying
to build cool shit.
diana_coman: well, shouldn't be hard
to find next
time I'm in Ro really
diana_coman: asciilifeform, it seems
to me
the guy is Bucharest-based, no?
diana_coman: I suppose
the " Anyway, e-mail is
the communication
tool
that I am most comfortable with." might be quite common for
thinking people
that aren't all
that young anymore either
mircea_popescu: thanks for
the markup lol. otherwise yes, pastes go into pgptron, wtf it's broken all
that.
