mircea_popescu: it's remarkably how exactly the same these go once one's experienced enough to distinguish the irrelevancy they compose their "personality" and "differences" and "speshulness" out of.
mircea_popescu: yes, someone tried to talk to the guy behind it -- pretty sure the someone was me ; pretty sure it went substantially like "techrights" thing recently.
mircea_popescu: someone was even going to implement it, which is the last i heard of it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well, i can't fucking find it. it was a kinda cool pastebin like thing, had a very retro look, like a qr code or soemsuch
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, do you recall what was the format for exclusion on btcbase search ?
mircea_popescu: not really. some vague discussion re implementing an img pastebin i saw somwhere, that meanwhile apparently disappeared.
mircea_popescu: did you see those irc channels with "games", ie bot spam ?
mircea_popescu: frankness always the winning policy ; and besides, always better to make these as ~forward looking~ statements, for the same reason it helps people trying to lose weight.
mircea_popescu: that the inane cocksucker does spent as much as one waking hour at any point doing anything besides sucking our collective dick for this is in itself such an immoral affront to any sense and all sensibility as few pantsuits could ever hope to match.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding richard stallman's shameful fraudulent claims on the topic.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so... yeah, it's a dubiously disagregate situation currently.
mircea_popescu: it historically worked -- eg trinque birthed cuntoo etc.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-01#1910534 << kinda stuck with remote-install until we actually have a standard thing. superficially one could lay into pizarro, "you dorks, get a standard os going already", but a) only likely effect is to provide yet another crevice to hide from only job of pizarro, which still sits undone ; b) it's unclear they have the manpower anyway and c) in relation to b it's neither desirable to limit
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: entirely no need of any actual events for globalwarmingourdemocracyblablabla word fountain to sprout strings.
mircea_popescu: never win [as idem]" because "all authority can do is multiply the questions", see, had they not "kidnapped sasha" there'd be fewer "questions to answer" and someone gives a shit etcetera.
mircea_popescu: the idea being, transparently enough, that in pantsuitist alt-reality "putin [as pantsuit defines the term] can
mircea_popescu: "i have three questions : why did you invade the ukraine, what happened to my classmate sasha and why did the bell ring halfway through the period"
mircea_popescu: this obnoxious точило cunt with the requisite humongo glasses, misshapen teeth etc raises her hand
mircea_popescu: after break they reconvene. "any kids wanna ask questions ?"
mircea_popescu: everyone gasps, "omfg, THIS is what's burning you ?" and then just as putin starts "well...." the bell rings and class is dismissed.
mircea_popescu: "my name's sasha and i want to ask : why did you invade the ukraine ?"
mircea_popescu: school administration tells kids they really shouldn't ask any questions that aren't burning and of great interest to them personally.
mircea_popescu: putin goes to visit school, kids are invited to ask him a question.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: here, have an example, in shape of joke merchant trying to size me up offered :
mircea_popescu: and so it goes -- i spend hours here gladly each day ; i can barely summon the interest by the quarter hour, sporadically, a time or two ~in all eternity~ for some other joint. the same standards eminently do not apply, can't possibly apply.
mircea_popescu: trilema may exist in any count ; nothing else may dare pretend to existence short of millions. precisely in the manner a good car may cost whatever it costs ; but a cheap car'd better be fucking cheap.
mircea_popescu: besides, i don't even believe the comparison's adequate. as experience proves time and again, every single other channel is 100% a by-headcount affair, there's no substance and no quality anywhere else, but strictly a brutish dedication to quantity.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: so... all of it ? or how do you mean ? what % of your own worktime ?
mircea_popescu: if, in the flow of that work, we discover something important enough that it requires a change of direction significant enough to actually use a new name, it's still improper to say the work put into finding the something was either lost or "not put into ultimate product".
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-24#1909943 << so far, "cuntoo" is the name we use for the republican os. this item will exist ; the question reduces to "how much work should i put into the framewire model of the future house". by this or some other name, all work we will ever put into tmsr os will go into wjat would currently be called "cuntoo"
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: and incidentally, trinque 's otp way the fuck smarter than gpg's ascii armor format, slavegirl reports. degree of magnitude faster wetware diode if one needn't handle the shift.
mircea_popescu: wholly mobile mircea_popescu works fine exactly as per design.
mircea_popescu: as it is... wtf, make 5, 19, whatever. it's just serial amnyway.
mircea_popescu: IF that worked right, THEN (and only then) "all boards come with 4 banks" or "cheaper boards - 2 banks" would have made sense
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i always thought it's the HEIGHT of insanity that if i buy 4 banks of 16gb ram i don't get 4x faster ram access.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, how could it not be, a buncha idle virgin bois derping about "convincing pretense" as to adulthood and whatnot. if it weren't boring as fuck the problem of hiring schoolteachers would be merely difficult, rather than plain impossible.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, also, you're not expected to understand the arcane wisdom of "lizards hq".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, o wow, that sums to almost a workable test harness!
mircea_popescu: did he run on "upgraded with the times" ~free silver platform ?
mircea_popescu: well, either you stole it from ye olde "futurist" dorks, or else they from you.
mircea_popescu: who knew the proverbial heninger spawn actually ran off with alf's coinage, made themselves the secret pubescent fortress!!
mircea_popescu: c. you absolutely do not want any kind of nesting, comments or otherwise. c1. you do not want to split comment flow on pages. c2. you gotta have usage of various things such as blockquote or li or bold or h commensurate in comments with their use in post. comment should really look like mini-article, visually.
mircea_popescu: trilema puts articles outside comments inside ands some more trims underneath. but i don't expect this is the only way to go about it -- though perhaps it is best to have "recent x" things up top.
mircea_popescu: b2. the utility columns must include a recent posts, a recent comments, and convenient access to archives.
mircea_popescu: once you got that, the size of pics preset is establshed : one to fit well in column, one to fit two by each other, and one to fit four.
mircea_popescu: trilema's a little under 640, because trilema was made 10+ years ago. you can take advantage of wider screens, make the read column say 640. or 720, if single utility column.
mircea_popescu: b1. your text column will have to have a fixed size. this is the 2nd, and i suspect last decision you make. too wide, you get horizontal scrolling, and that sucks. too wide, you're reading an electromagnetic beam, which also sucks.
mircea_popescu: b) you will need a main column for text on the left, and either one or two service columns on the right. this is the first major decision in theme making : one ? or two ?
mircea_popescu: as far as experience illuminates, a theme goes like this : a) you must have a header, and a.1 you don't want it animated ; thus i know of nothing better than tcurrent state of the art as shown by trilema : mask-png which goes with the theme, invite user to take some pictures, apply the mask, upload them and have the theme rotate through them by some criteria.
mircea_popescu: now ~whether~ it can or can not resize images, that'd be part of mp-wp, and i expect it'd work, but your current theme doesn't expose the functionality
mircea_popescu: or, the sizes. well, no, i expect this is part of the theme setting. i dunno that it'd work magically
mircea_popescu: if trilema-size (560 px wide) doesn't comfortably fit in your post column, prolly too narrow post column
mircea_popescu: since you're touchging that, prolly good advice to widen it.
mircea_popescu: billymg, : "Size Thumbnail Medium Large Full size (560 × 420)" only permits me the 560x420 upload. ideally should have also a thumbnail or two, you know ? sometimes that works better. i suspect this comes from settings
☟︎ mircea_popescu: because yes, item is deeply in need of new data and calling models.
mircea_popescu: will prolly go away when he sits down to remodel the data model after done with all these obvious library level snips.
mircea_popescu: i can see the "forget roles" thing, but i expect this is no cheap or quick move of the scissor.
mircea_popescu: billymg, now "Unable to create directory /www/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"
