BingoBoingo: I don't know about more organized. Just seems more centralized if
the post office handles dispatch instead of
the "dispachante" cartel.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: more organised ie
they just want you
to pay & go
to some dispatch post office; but it all adds up
to
the point
that it's not really +ev
BingoBoingo: diana_coman:
The Uk has one of
the soviet Uruguay style customs regimes, doesn't it.

to get
them all
the way
to here, ugh.

trinque: jfw: will look into it

diana_coman: atm I don't really see
the need for anything more
than
that anyway; I'll set up again all
the data backups anyway, ofc.
diana_coman: otherwise
the production server could be up faster on a centos 6
diana_coman: re OS
the idea was
that I'll have
to install remotely
the proto-cuntoo
though, wasn't it?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: it was minigame.biz latest (previously it used
to be .bz)
mircea_popescu: (item comes with a 10GB line upgrade available ;
though ima start it on a 100MB interface because seriously now.)
diana_coman: otherwise yes, at least go for cheapest and
that's
that; for added lulz,
that pretty much ends up in moldova anyway.
diana_coman: the q
there was whether it's at least allignable, essentially;
the reason why I
took a closer look.
mircea_popescu: i don't see
the merit. either it's alligned or else it's cheap, what
the hell is
this "pay us a premium so we can derp". i ain't ever buying "quality" outside of republic, for
the obvious reason
diana_coman: myeah,
they do charge a lot for very little for sure.
mircea_popescu: basically
they're a fine opportunity
to pay 2x what your getting's worth for
the priviledge of supporting someone else's BingoBoingo in iceland.
diana_coman: well, medium & macro businesses
tend
to be built around
the website from what I can see; so yeah, looked at micro and kind of running out of anything
to look at anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway, petty microbusiness isp,
there's a derpier BingoBoingo behind
the "x
tb bw for dedicated" sorta nonsense.
mircea_popescu: cloudflare is
the internet equivalent of usg's fatca chantage mechanism. "partner" for protection or else get flooded. i wouldn't hold it against civillians.
diana_coman: they still "partner" with all sorts, cloudflare included, for
the most obvious yuck.
diana_coman: does anyone know about/have xp with
this orangewebsite provider?
they are based in iceland and seem
to at least 1. accept bitcoin directly 2. require only email
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this is what
the jr high game of battleship should have been. because wtf, we got computers,
thus
therefore are better
than
the pen-and-paper forefathers. or else, what
the fuck's all
the
toil been for.
mircea_popescu: look
through
the research
tree, currently eg using a 2x2 shield, 500/100/500
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-15 05:46:30 mircea_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-15#1951261 << yeah, how much fuck-up can fit in a 12 slot ship, given at least half is forced by module poverty. i'm currently running a wanderer
to great funs, look
through
the later ships
they get huge, 100ish slots
mircea_popescu: the moogles managed
to make an internetless fakenet for
themselves, basically. nfi why
they call it
the internet, it's like calling
their sad socialisms "democracy", anachronism abuse.
mircea_popescu: unfortunately (for
them!) i don't own
them, nor are
they in channel, meaning
they haven't access
to
this font of "obvious, in retrospect" sense. which is
the
true drawback of "oh, we built our business around
the convenience of a website" : it all but enforces missing out on pretty much everything.
mircea_popescu: sadly
they don't have a way
to record/replay battles, which is stupid, should just have a hash url for any battle.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-15 04:26:28 spyked: also, from what I see, it's made by
the same ppl who published infectonator. had a blast with
that one (I
think I also found about
that from mircea_popescu?)
ericbot: Logged on 2019-11-14 15:46:23 mircea_popescu: wouldja be willing
to find something else ?
diana_coman: ahahah; but I had
to make myself a new computer for working on
the client!
spyked: esn't quite amount
to 40hrs/month (10/week)
though, more like 20-30, so I'll have
to use
the remaining
time for planning/writing etc.
spyked:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-13#1951108 <--
tried
that a while ago, it's quasi-impossible
to connect computers not owned by
the company
to
the network, due
to all sorts of winbloze and/or spyware requirements on
the machine. imo not worth wasting hardware on
that; what I'll do instead is get some work-from-home hours, which would also give me almost a full day
to focus on
the work.
this do

ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-13 19:10:45 mircea_popescu: meanwhile in glorious
timewastes,
space arena! never was
the
true substance&tragedy of design as a cvasi-rational process so well captured in so little
trapping! rarely will one find such a gem of a game, either! it's purrrfect.

jfw: trinque, mircea_popescu: my status on settling
the s.nsa auction invoice is
that I haven't funded a deedbot wallet before, and
the above is encrypted
to a key unknown
to me, so I would like confirmation from
trinque
that
there isn't some wire crossed and when I deposit,
the coin will in fact be assigned
to my key.

BingoBoingo: It... it's disgusting in ways
the US
trough style eateries have
trouble matching. I suspect it spoiled
this entire country on
the idea of frying chicken.
BingoBoingo will absolutely not be
taking anyone, self included
to MVD's only fried chicken joint
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Some of
the locals have weird, counter-quality
tastes.
BingoBoingo: Aite, I'll
try
to make contact, get him a steak or choripan, and
try
to put him on
the IRC.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Want me
to
try
to get him into #eulora or land him somewhere else?
mircea_popescu: in other news :
there's
this dude
sleepy_b uploading extremely well rendered video
to pronsites. he happens
to be from uy. is
there any chance in hell BingoBoingo might spot him somehows ?
diana_coman: come
to
think of it, I guess
that's
the root cause of my despising hope really.
diana_coman: ahahha, I don't recall it but it does fit his utterings as I got
to read
them otherwise, for sure.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, remember dr a's point, "pay idiots in lottery
tickets" ?
mircea_popescu: in
the end,
the doom of self-expression as a ~default~ activity, occuring ~in
the absence of understanding~ ; and
the power of understanding dervied
thereby,
to actually inhibit action very much stands as
the exact definition of
the
tragedy of human condition. a
trite point, at
that.
diana_coman: I suppose I'd call it along
the lines of "give
them hope it works"; because it's also quite
the only way it can work given
the other side of "make idiocy cost more" - for as long as
there is hope,
the cost will be happily paid.
mircea_popescu: in
the end,
the
tragedy of human existence is
that everyone gets exactly what
they
thought
they wanted.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-11 13:22:52 BingoBoingo: It's almost what
toxoplasmosis
tries
to do
to rats except... entirely self inflicted
mircea_popescu: highly successful at it,
too. in fact,
the one key feature of any reality simulation. "does your
terrarium make idiots
think
their idiocy works ?" pass/fail.
mircea_popescu: that's what pretty much everything existing is all about : making idiots
think idiocy works.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, why not ? idiots ~should~ waste
themselves, it's
the only point of nature.
BingoBoingo also unsure about encouraging
the simple retard flavor of spammer by making it seem like what
they does is working.
mircea_popescu: then
the bootstrapping problem. "suppose you let
the wot work it, make
trilema be gossipd, people can see
the comments of people
they
talk
to"
mircea_popescu: on some level,
the obviousness of "why should i be forced
to decide either all or none" grates. false dilemma. but on
the other end,
the practicalities of "alright... distinguish
then" are insurmountable.
BingoBoingo: Seems like it may catch more simple retards
than organized spammers.
mircea_popescu: the drawback is
that most spam ops use diff boxes for harvesting and posting, sadly.
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm considering getting an upgrade for mp-wp, wherein comments marked as spam are displayed for as long as
the ip
they were made from is loading
the page
BingoBoingo: Who needs
the big picture when you can hide in some details?
BingoBoingo: I imagine
their engineers in government imagine
that being more Zamibia will let
them carry
their socialism further on stored energy. "Cheaper!!!" Nevermind Uruguay, Argentina, and Scandanavia demonstrating
the opposite.
mircea_popescu: there's no such
thing ; subsaharan africa === western europe
today. pretense notwithstanding (spoiler : exactly equal amts of pretense on BOTH camps)
mircea_popescu: well,
the first part for sure. for all
the "not racist" blather,
the euro-africans literally
think
there's some magic in
the string "netherlands"
that prevents it outright from simply being zamibia.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I imagine
this holds for most of Northwest Europe. "Nobody in particular needs us, but we
think we are far enough ahead
to have an advantage if we can
talk everyone else into stopping with us"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, "As documented on
this blog, undertaking
the remains of Pizarro has continued, as documented on
this blog."
mircea_popescu: pretty lulzy. "civilised world" amirite, except for
the part where nobody needs
them for anything.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-14 06:05:06 mircea_popescu: dorion, you know, your article skips over
the most interesting parts. i can sorta-kinda fill in a sentence like "The bank prevented us from dealing directly with clients in our country of residence 2 as
the brokers were never required
to obtain any sort of securities license."
thus curing it into standing ; but i suspect i might be
the ~only one.
dorion: circle back on
that article
to drill down on
the more interesting points in subsequent pieces, and for sure work
to limit scope moving forward.
