http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-11#1886376 << with some caveats
as to how "unrelated" (in the m-r sense of the term) those candidates must be,
as it's entirely possible to generate an infinite set of lying witnesses for any composite number.
mircea_popescu: and bad ssd is unlikely to hit ~specifically one~ of multiple instances,
as well
as it's unlikely to occur while drive has free spare sectors to map to, and besides it'd be a first. drive's fine what.
mod6: My one node I've got now, is still on that bad hardware
as I haven't found a new home for it yet. Sometimes, if I just let it "figure itself out", it'll return eventually and be fine. I agree though, would be nice to get to a root cause of this by some form of testing. Hard to mimic the state, regardless.
BingoBoingo: Please deliver instructions in #pizarro
as I don't know how much log troubleshooting is going to generate
mircea_popescu: and there it goes : happily eats ctrl-c, OF COURSE, cuz why the fuck have any sort of notion of human priviledge or anything, terminal has its own mind, right. but if sigkilled dies peacibly and then restarts
as if nothing had happened.
mircea_popescu: in other arcana : i have here a copy of trb that has died a mysterious death on dec 31st. the process itself hasn't returned, ps aux lists it
as expected, however the last time it touched any files was two weeks ago, nor does a call to getinfo ever return.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: i happen to agree with the fellow, "partial order" (
as in, the term of art) is specifically why not actually breaking anything.
BingoBoingo: relationship is also the largest of our recurring fiat denominated expenses. Sitting here my thinking latched onto present cash flow situation
as the datacenter's goodwill isn't very liquid.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it strikes me
as the height of strange that the balance sheet seems to paint a rosy picture whereas management communication is bleak and dour. these shouldn't contradict so, which is it ? << The cash flow situation concerns me. Our fiat denominated holdings have appreciated.
As you assessed earlier our primary asset is a healthy customer relationship with the (very rare) independent datacenter. Maintaining that
mircea_popescu: it strikes me

mircea_popescu: understand there's no such thing
as "a liver". either it's the whole enchilada, liver, stomach, bone, muscles, skin, all the organs -- or else nothing at all.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo re ". Even when I manage a piece of evangelical Republican writing well received by the targeted community
as measured by 'likes'... the reception warm reception is fuctionally empty." << the problem with this is the single-flower-spring issue. if you wish t go this route your measurements are in the dozens of accounts, spitting forth 100s of daily posts supporting each other across the whole "niche".
mircea_popescu: trinque i'm not that in touch, but iirc it was a good deal
as symmetric.
BingoBoingo: Even if I frame it
as "we aren't utilizing the whole pipe", they are going to smell blood
trinque: "capacity will temporarily be X while BingoBoingo Ys, this gives T time left to P. customers will meanwhile accumulate S shares per billing cycle of diminished capacity"
as a rough model of what I'm talking about.
mircea_popescu: "my five year plan for pizarro is that by the time we're done with the first three it'll not be physically possible to do such a thing
as 'host a website' anywhere else."\
trinque: since I still host everything important elsewhere, not
as much
as if I thought it'd be around.
diana_coman: myeah, that "into the black in two months" seems to me weird here; the trouble is not even "in two months" but at all; because it has been way more than 2 months and if it keeps going
as is, I doubt 10 months would make a difference
a111: Logged on 2019-01-13 18:53 BingoBoingo: trinque: I don't have concrete plans. The major part of the DC cost is pipe rather than rack. Renegotiating for less pipe with the datacenter would change the costs we are basing our colocation price off of
as well.
BingoBoingo: links earlier mentioned. At present there is one ongoing conversation
as a result of this.
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, but how *many* accounts did you message out of how many in the db, over what time, what filter(s) did you use and with what results? << The way I've been walking by hand involves looking at the users online list most forums helpfully still offer and going from there. Recently I've taken to looking for "I got banned from X turdservice" threads and blogs then posting targeted copy
as demonstrated in one of the
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well for the most part, I have a bank account. We've been doing the fiat auctions, and one of the localbitcoins traders has grown his ablity to handle larger conversions
as he's gone full time working his bicycle based currency exchange. So far this can meet our near term needs.
diana_coman: yes! I was basically waiting for something like that
as a minimum re promised writeup review
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> how do you see that working before pizarro starves? << I worry. The more I think about the marketing and trying to make a plan for marketing I worry. I am in the unhappy position of being out of my depth on the marketing problem, repeating my concerns about my lack of marketing prowess, trying to apply advice
as I can while juggling other concerns, and not getting any feedback on incentives that can bring other people in
mircea_popescu: but in other keks, this could be taken
as a "shutdown" a la republique.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-12 01:00 asciilifeform: wtf re '49 Year Old' tho! i'd naively think 'may
as well hang for a sheep
as for a lamb'...

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-05#1884603 << BingoBoingo i'd ~really~ like to hear what is current plan for gettin' heathen custom, so
as to finally get the hell out of the red. asciilifeform dun have a massive treasure chest that can run pizarro 'on battery' 4evah (hopefully not surprising, this)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't know that there's anything wrong with returning gcd of 0,0
as 0. in my abstract mental model wherein 1 is a divisor of all numbers, gcd 0,0 =1, and furthermore 0 can never be a divisor of anything ; but this purely set-driven problem is inconsequential in boole's alt-world afaak.
mod6:
http://blog.mod6.net/?p=26 << Here's my TRB Keccak Regrind blog post. I have a tarball linked very near the bottom that contains my reground trb keccak vtree,
as well
as seals for each. These are posted so one may test with these (I need the help!).
BingoBoingo: trinque: I don't have concrete plans. The major part of the DC cost is pipe rather than rack. Renegotiating for less pipe with the datacenter would change the costs we are basing our colocation price off of
as well.
☟︎ trinque: BingoBoingo: in reading your latest, I'm curious what fallback plans you have in between pizarro
as is today and pizarro shuttered.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather not grandfather the current bitcoin wallet approach, time-tested
as it might be. but this problem will recur (no later than "wut do wallet" in any case). so...
mircea_popescu: ad interim the draft is, that the client stores all the keys (rsa, serpent, whatever) one per line, the rsa ones in republican format, the rest unspecified
as of yet, in a file called keys.tmsr encrypted by the rsa key of the client.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:30 mircea_popescu: spyked is evidently trying, hence feedbot, but evidently having trouble reconciling saeculum, which i'm going to let stand
as such on the grounds that he's new -- even though experience shows that
as a dubious idea [for all the eg one could possibly need witness how asciilifeform 's still in the swamp, so many years later].
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-05#1884617 <-- ftr, I agree 100% with this assessment. the last 4 months (at least) of my life have been a rollercoaster, and I'm just beginning to settle down into an arrangement where I can set goals without getting preempted at every corner. my current goal is to have a schedule posted by the end of the month, in the same style
as http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2735 ,
☝︎ diana_coman: possibly; at the end of the day it's a choice and one can have gcd implemented one way or another,
as long
as the choice made is clearly stated on the tin
diana_coman: I suppose only in some silly situation such
as "let's take 2 numbers from user; compute gcd and then proceed to divide and print results"
diana_coman: client did build previously on gentoo so yes, I'd expect it builds on cuntoo
as well really
mircea_popescu: because hey, this is optional now, yossik is at liberty to redress his stupidity or not
as he well pleases, there's no obligation my intellectual superiority creates for him or anything.
diana_coman: myeah, that's part of the thing:
as it is, it is at least tested that people managed to compile the whole thing on different platforms
a111: Logged on 2019-01-09 17:06 mircea_popescu: "But the type conversion rules for pointers are not so easily duped; there are no "classwide pointers" (thought perhaps life would be different if there were!). " << motherfucker on a stick, i want "classwide pointers" ie, "this door ambiguously links to any of the mcdonalds not any specific one"
as i want to wake up to being assfucked by chtulhu.

http://adagin.blogspot.com/2013/12/ada-2005-access-types-part-i.html , lively : type Hooker_Array is array (Positive range <>) of Hooker_Class_Ptr; procedure Violate_Bodies (x : Hooker_Array); ... 'We want to track all our victims, presumably in some sort of set or container, so that we might disinter them later
as needed. Similarly, we might also want to do strange, awful things with the dead bodies of the hookers.'
diana_coman: i.e. have it
as a procedure, exposed and accessible from cpp
diana_coman:
as it is specific to ada, a non-ada main has no idea (nor does it care) about it and therefore won't do it automatically; the only way to have it done is to call explicitly the "init" procedure for the Ada unit that is to be used; and the only way to *have* such an init procedure seems to be the standalone lib thing
diana_coman: re ada elaboration since apparently it's not summarised in the logs
as such: it's basically the code that runs *before* the main program starts and what it does is broadly initializing variables that the main program may expect to be able to access (e.g. "global" or in libs that are used) and running the "main" code (aka between begin and end of a package
as opposed to that in procedures/functions) from units that are used
diana_coman: it has a donkey-horse
as far
as I can tell: a dynamic lib does not include all the code it requires so you'll need to further link /distribute stuff
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-09#1886041 << not a bug anymore (last year it was printed
as a warning with no effects on the patch, effectively forcing newline always. i then adjusted vdiff to put correct "\ No newline.." directive, while vpatch knows to omit final newline when that directive is present)
☝︎ lobbes: trinque: I agree that I could use a more substantive grasp on the script
as a whole (and will indeed study moar), however I want to say I'm at least understanding the bit in "create_user.sh" where it calls useradd and passwd, and then adds the $USER to etc/sudoers. I'm just missing -why- the user/password I set through useradd/passwd wasn't working when trying to login. Probably something elementary

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-25#1785986 << i thought that it was just a helpful warning, but upon reflection i realized that this is actually a bug. investigating it further i took a wrong direction on a diff's command line flag switch, and
as it stands if you see this warning it
trinque: it's not
as if the script's setting anyone's password on anything; it's just calling the util that does.
BingoBoingo: Well, middle class fellow constantly held up by his peers
as a party elite
mircea_popescu: He formerly served on the steering committee of the Stonewall Democratic Club. He has donated "nearly $30,000" to Democratic candidates like Hillary Clinton, Ted Lieu, Pete Aguilar and Raja Krishnamoorthi
as well
as the Getting Things Done PAC. << dude give me a fucking break ?
mircea_popescu: "Edward Bernard Peter Buckmelter began his career
as a fashion model in Europe" keks.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, first incident was dismissed after pantsuit outrage over the investigation
as an attack on the old dude's lifestyle
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's testament to my famous capacity of fitting in -- comes from the fact i use
as main profile pic a shot hanbot took in turkey, where i was being INCREDIBLY fucking fit-in.
Mocky: so long
as it doesn't have cancel button
mircea_popescu: now then : all these fantasies, "i'll worship so purely i'll never die", "i'll get a paycheck so huge i won't have to go on dates anymore", "i'll be that kurchatov" rely on something specific : there's gotta be a stalin. there's no stalin of long living, nor is there a stalin of rooseveltian socialism -- the thing's built ~specifically~ (and ~purposefully~, deliberately)
as a "stalinism without any stalin".
