asciilifeform: but it's a long an' fairly unpleasant document, fwiw i was not able to swallow whole thing, of yet.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-26 16:10 asciilifeform: 'Hello asciilifeform I see on coin.dance/nodes , The Real Bitcoin is listed with the 'Emergent Consensus' feature tag. Could you tell me if that's accurate - will you follow a HF to > 1MB , and could you tell me anything about how it's implemented in TRB ? Thx!'
asciilifeform: mod6: imho manual knobs ~for unwedging~ are a fundamental mistake. nodes shouldn't be wedgeable, period. and the only use for a wedged node is to learn why it wedged and to make said scenario impossible in the future. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: he's a phd computing science student of some description. decent blogger too.
trinque: the protestant thing was in the first place a rejection of teh catholic "corruption" ☟︎
mod6: TomServo: as a side note, I've been watching MST for the first time. show is hilarious. i had no idea bout your nick. :]
asciilifeform: as orlol wrote, when someone asked 'how do i, typical office plankton, survive colapse' : 'for you -- there is not an answer. but you could try to become somebody else, a different kind of person , for whom there ~is~' or sumthinglikethat
mod6: You could roll back to your latest backup I suppose, but using your chain for forensics is really a good idea so we can try to extrapolate some causation.
TomServo: mod6: Yes, but not a terribly recent one unfortunately.
mod6: we need a way to rebuild the index. ☟︎
mod6: yeah, 'tis a good idea.
asciilifeform: mod6: it'd be a fairly trivial mod of dumpblock .
mod6: getting the sha512 of the entire bytes of a block seems useful
asciilifeform: btw i was thinking about a command,
asciilifeform: dump currentheight, currentheight-1, ..., a dozen, say.
trinque: these fuckers are going out tweeting their molotovs as a matter of social signaling
trinque: and obviously I'm not calling leadership a matter of humility. the narcissism is all through the ranks.
trinque: It’s not going to be armies, in pretty uniforms, fighting pitched, conventional battles. It’s going to be a matter of assassination, sabotage, hit-and-run raids, targeting ideological leadership figures, enemy families, etc. << I doubt this. Where are these leadership figures?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'The Left has won far more dirty civil wars and insurgent conflicts than the Right has won. There are a host of reasons for this, but most notable is the aversion, on the Right, to give up the security of law-and-order. ' << tru! ☟︎
TomServo: mod6: No more blocks. Stuck at 458052 for a few days now. Restarted once so far. Still have 3 peers.
phf: in practice last two times i was asked that, i knew the vadim etc. in question. it's still a funny question tho ☟︎
ben_vulpes: malice and negligence can put a hole below the waterline of immunity. and cps settles cases regularly.
ben_vulpes: can also attempt a mircea_popescu, and go after the cps officer in question personally for making shit up ☟︎
ben_vulpes: moreover, this is why reading class signaling is a crucial skill for children. what, are they to ask for help from the haggard crone sitting outside the bodega in a wheelchair? get real
ben_vulpes: far better odds of getting help just knocking on random doors and stopping passers-by exhibiting a modicum of class than one is from a cop.
ben_vulpes: everyone even tangentially involved with the state is a "mandatory reporter", aka fucking narc.
ben_vulpes: "child, they will twist anything you say into a crime to take you away from me."
danielpbarron: hah i actually taught him that one many years ago. kid needs a refresher course
ben_vulpes: not teaching children about cps is a great way to get them taken away.
ben_vulpes caught a caning from the girl of all people for talking to the man recently
danielpbarron: a friend of mine is dealing with social workers trying to take his kids away, in part -- i think, because his oldest has been repeating some of the things i taught him to his teachers in school ☟︎
danielpbarron: the old adage "tits or gtfo" still applies. assume everyone on "the internet" is a dude if no pictures provided
asciilifeform: 'baybe doll‏ @Baybe_Doll Built a NFC reader for my NFC nails using an @arduino and an @adafruit PN532 for @BodyHackingCon'
asciilifeform: 'If you’re not willing to remove a toxic contributor from your project, you are accepting toxic behavior as a cultural norm.'
asciilifeform: 'Rich Felker‏ @RichFelker Mar 10 "Literal nazi" is not a protected class you can't fire someone for being. So fire them.'
trinque: as far as state religions go, what a snore.
asciilifeform: ' Rich Felker Retweeted Adora Cheung‏ @nolimits Mar 23 Last month another investor asked a female founder/CEO to search for a white male to replace her as CEO. Also uninvited.' ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-27 16:52 asciilifeform: 'From my perspective you're making a choice to be on the wrong side of history.'
asciilifeform: 'I don't really care about any details of @hdevalence's account. You made a mistake enabling & defending Jacob. Just apologize.'
asciilifeform: 'From my perspective you're making a choice to be on the wrong side of history.' ☟︎
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu's headache-inducing abolition of the short (!s etc) commands, was specifically about formally canceling there being such a thing as 'official log'
Framedragger: to reframe into a pragmatic context, my log doesn't and won't for the time being (busy af) have search. as regards its formal status, i don't know man, but i'll just keep maintaining it :)
asciilifeform: there is not a programmatic pill against http://qntra.net/2015/01/the-hard-fork-missile-crisis .
asciilifeform: perhaps this is a fairly obvious inference but bears restating for the l0gz.
asciilifeform: you can still spend in actual bitcoinland, what has been spend in shitcoinland -- bitcoin does not give half a fuck re what happens in the megablox
asciilifeform: let's say gavin writes a forked client that incorporates the entirety of traditional bitcoin, and keeps both blockchains around, simply to refuse to spend any output that's been already spent somewhere in actual bitcoinland.
asciilifeform: i'm still waiting for something like a coherent explanation of how that's to work.
asciilifeform: 'Hello asciilifeform I see on coin.dance/nodes , The Real Bitcoin is listed with the 'Emergent Consensus' feature tag. Could you tell me if that's accurate - will you follow a HF to > 1MB , and could you tell me anything about how it's implemented in TRB ? Thx!' ☟︎
asciilifeform: i.e. the orphaned blocks a particular node ~has seen~.
mp_en_viaje: come to think abou this : fine topic for a loper-os monograph, asciilifeform
asciilifeform: to elaborate : there is a serious disjunction between how reorg is supposed to work, on paper, and how it actually works.
asciilifeform: the other open seekrit re classical trb : and afaik applies equally to various prbs : there is no means whereby to introduce a martian reorg consisting of >1 block, such that it will actually get processed.
asciilifeform: realistically a reorg affects, what, few dozen blocks. and that's if martians land.

asciilifeform: it is braindamaged in a great many ways
asciilifeform: i actually spent a good chunk of past 2 days making sense of the reorg logic
a111: Logged on 2017-03-26 15:16 mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-25#1632523 << actually reorgs fail a lot.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-26#1632576 << yeh, from all i hear nyc is a really sad hole these days. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-26 04:10 asciilifeform: esp when it's still a... salary
a111: Logged on 2017-03-25 15:15 asciilifeform: my current understanding is that reorg can only fail if there is a catastrophic problem with db
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-25#1632523 << actually reorgs fail a lot. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: this had a name, 'embrace & extinguish'
a111: Logged on 2015-12-27 17:38 asciilifeform: 'It is about sending a strong message. I think we may need to start an accreditation scheme for Bitcoin-consensus compliant wallets and services. Through code signing and use of multisig, we can even distinguish transactions made by compliant wallets and non-compliant wallets, and have pools not mine them (or wallets refuse to send to known-non-compliant wallets).'
mp_en_viaje: wuille comes along, "expands" for the africa box A. now the design is broken, in that item in B will correspond to both a and a' ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: alf designs system whereby box A and box B are osmehow used. they are correctly designed to tandem : bitwise identical.
mp_en_viaje: basically a novel vector of imperial attack seems to be this "let's take republican items and ~EXPAND~ the downstream so that siberian river attack is then feasible". ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ( jurov might have details, he had some proprietary thing of his own that required a prb in the loop, complained of massive headaches )
asciilifeform: iirc prb doesn't even maintain a socket with trb , starting with 11 or so
asciilifeform: hanbot: it's approx what was in a sov pharmacy.
hanbot: mp_en_viaje wouldja say it's as simple as setting a cutoff date?
mp_en_viaje: hanbot, i could build you a list, but not right now. about 2/3 of the "who list o fessential medicines" say, or alternatively the inventory list of provincial hospital in 3rd world.
mp_en_viaje: similar in that they're not covered by "patents" in the usg misstatement of the concept ; similar in that they were originally produced by one man in his handmade lab glass ; similar in that they cost a quarter a yearly dose and solve an actual problem
mp_en_viaje: hanbot, there\s an entire list of medicine pre us becoming a thing.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-24 20:49 asciilifeform: also where does the 1k figure come from ? for what does a smallholder-farmer even need money.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, the striking thing a bout the afghani dwelling is that it's not a hut. it's a tower, if need be essentialized to a pillar, but basically a machinegun pillbox. AROUND IT like around the medieval castle the women's items, huts and bread ovens and children/goat/pig stys are build. but the dwelling is basically this donjon.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-24#1632388 << this is actually a very fine statement of the problem. missing parts, expensive to build prosthetic for. quite exactly. ☝︎

pete_dushenski: i had a skinny neck as a kid, what.
asciilifeform: oh it'd seem that i neglected to say why i had the geiger around -- was hunting for a reason why a certain box of mine was ringing ecc alarms
asciilifeform: apparently quite a few old timepieces ragingly gamma
pete_dushenski: more father but i have a couple. what's up ?
asciilifeform: there was a steering wheel, oddly, but rather like in a toy car, it was not connected to anything, just spun in place.
asciilifeform: was annoying, i knew it was taking me to a jail, tried various tricks to get out , or alternatively to crash it, but no dice
asciilifeform: reminds me, i dreamed that i was in a robotic car
pete_dushenski: nah, just came across a link. never heard of the site before.
asciilifeform: esp when it's still a... salary ☟︎
pete_dushenski: it's indeed very painful to come to terms with how poor you really are when you discover that folks making 10-20x what you are ARE ALSO POOR. certainly not as poorly positioned, but not rolling out of bed and into silk house robes at 10am on a tuesday either. sucks.
pete_dushenski: in other struggles, there's some butthurt gold in these comments : http://www.financialsamurai.com/scraping-by-on-500000-a-year-high-income-earners-struggling/#comments
pete_dushenski: what appears to be a news story : https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/why-american-farmers-are-hacking-their-tractors-with-ukrainian-firmware
pete_dushenski: aaaaan stan beat me once again to the punch on the news break. by two days! (bad pete, don't skim logs so loosely). but the spoofcard angle is at least novel, as a construction if nothing else.
pete_dushenski: kid is obv jewish. but when trump goes on the record saying the 'sudden rise in anti-semitism' is a hoax, which it is, every epithet in the old testament is thrown at him by the adl and their cronies at nyt.
pete_dushenski: woman. And rather than use a traceable credit card or PayPal, the perpetrator paid for his Spoofcard in Bitcoin—another dead end. […] SpoofCard and services like it have plenty of legitimate users, such as undercover cops […] "When requested, we [Spoofcard] comply quickly and responsibly with lawful requests from all levels of law enforcement, and we have built specific tools to prevent abuse.”
pete_dushenski: http://archive.is/tXONX << "The suspect arrested Thursday for a wave of bomb threats against Jewish Community Centers in the United States employed an array of technologies, including  Bitcoin and Google Voice, to make himself virtually untraceable for months […] Even the caller’s voice was anonymous—he used Spoofcard’s voice-changing option to make himself sound like a voice synthesizer imitating a

asciilifeform: for instance, it is a good habit to search for a topic in the logs, prior to asking after it.
asciilifeform: likewise, phf's ( the linked logtron ) has back-reference links ( when a line is mentioned, you can go from it, to the mentions ) and other conveniences (search, for instance.)
asciilifeform: my current understanding is that reorg can only fail if there is a catastrophic problem with db ☟︎
asciilifeform: !~later tell TomServo you were right, it wasn't the clock, the original log is monotonic ( probably oughta post it publicly ) -- the boojum is a failed reorg, and it is impossible to say why it failed, could be disk rot.
TomServo: If I recall, there was a case sensitivity issue during the schism
