asciilifeform: ( all you need is that little bash , and a reasonably recent trb )
asciilifeform: observe that you can trivially replicate the thing.
asciilifeform: see the readme re what's what.

Mocky: ahh, thx
asciilifeform: mod6, jurov : trb ml down ??
mircea_popescu: key part of tmsr defense doctrine.
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-10#1859947 >> btw, has there been any consideration of publishing a signed tar ball of the first, say half million blocks. not to have them set in stone, but like 'at height 550000, these were the first 500k' for purpose of eat-block jumpstart for nodeless noobs, such as myself? Log search didn't reveal it to my eyes. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: depends. one day walking through forest saw doe chased by "barking" buck, tied up companion naked, arms bound behind back and hoisted over branch, then fucked her. great lulz were had!
asciilifeform: as for coyote, naturally none in the city, lol, no wolf either
asciilifeform: deer imho aint comparable to a dog-sized rat with human hands, re lulz potential
asciilifeform: i have yet to see a deer eat rubbish.
BingoBoingo: Both raid trash. I suspect the coyote is bigger factor. Takes 40 lb scavenger/predator niche
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plenty of deer here. the 2 species dun compete for fodder at all, afaik
BingoBoingo: When I left hometown they were pest, but not asciilifeform doomsday pest. More urban customers to my last fiat employment described asciilifeform type doomsday pest, but they also lacked coyotes
mircea_popescu: i dunno, plenty of deer in the ne.
BingoBoingo: I suspect they only become mega pest in areas with coyote and deer deficiency
asciilifeform: not so hot when right there when you open front door.
mircea_popescu: ~everyone in mass/ct/nh/vermont etc fucking hated coons tho.
mircea_popescu doesn't share the coon hate, having never lived for long where they actually were pests.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> fuckers can unscrew jars. << The can also "play", I recall one time at scoutcamp they improvised a hockey game using a tin as a puck. Coons are perfectly capable of doing it for the lulz.
asciilifeform: recall, rats in stalingrad chewed cables, took out plenty of tank turret rotators on both sides
mircea_popescu: they really could do it! rob 7/11 stores for bottles and car tanks for gasoline, end the world.
asciilifeform: fortunately thing has ~wallnut brain.
asciilifeform: if they learn how to use rocks, we're sunk
mircea_popescu: right. but -- trying, works!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there aint so many critters that know how to think about glass
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall this video of a coon exhibiting all the "intelligent" behaviour of black chicks code : was rubbing a rock against a glass door, because it had seen rocks open glass doors before but didn't quite understand how impact works. so cargocultcoon.
asciilifeform: where they gotta actually forage for wasp hives etc
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: lives for ~decade in wild easily. << From what I understand coons live fast for 1-3 years and that's it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to round out the thread, trick was to actually rtfm -- forehead thick. gram in ear was the magic pill, worked where arrow in torso didn't.
asciilifeform: Mocky: mine emails. but i dun recall if mp-wp has this knob.
Mocky: speaking of deathless beasts in the wild, I'm curious how other people get notified when you have new blog comment to be moderated.
asciilifeform: and generally clever enuff not to get under trucks; even has opposable thumb, can open doors, simple locks, latches...
mircea_popescu: deathless beast of the fronteer!
mircea_popescu: hence the old west expression "a coon's age" for ~forever.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: erry so often, some fucktard does the poison thing, all the cats die, raccoons just get high on it
BingoBoingo: Maybe you need to start a coyote reintroduction program in your region?
a111: Logged on 2017-09-19 04:57 asciilifeform: trinque: how'd you react to neighbour cornfuck leaving poisoned bait for your beast to find ?
BingoBoingo: And this is why people resort to leaving flybait out for all comers http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-19#1715742 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: What the fuck is your neighborhood feeding them
asciilifeform: ( neighbours have pit bulls, and the poor beasts writhe in their miniscule yard )
BingoBoingo: The dogs enjoy the work
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: believe or not, i actually like (certain) animals, would not inflict habitat like this on dog
asciilifeform would happily use elephant rifle, but not so great in 'civilized' city, 9000 police cars in 5min if one were to
BingoBoingo: This is why you need 45 kg of either black and tan or bluetick hound assigned to sentry duty against 3 lb pest
mircea_popescu: maybe they meanwhile build armor.
asciilifeform: nope, gallops away with arrow straight thru
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff, i tried those 1st
mircea_popescu: anyway, from experience of my north american east coast dwelling friends, the correct racoon weapon is actually a crossbow.
asciilifeform: item drills 2x4 wooden plank, phone book, etc.; specially built for that type of pest.
BingoBoingo: The best ways to coonicide are 1. 100 lb dog assigned to sentry duty 2. cage traps 3. projectile weapons
mircea_popescu: then what's the
mircea_popescu: ok this was the comedy highpoint of the day!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: only the 2nd best pill.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun have a dog, or where to.
mircea_popescu: " Latinas apparently view mapache (aka. trash panda) as mystery critter" << that's pretty funny, seeing how... that's EXACTLY how people see latinas themselves!
mircea_popescu: most of yurp pays farmers NOT to farm.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( raccoon, to euro folx, can look like exotic fairy tale beast, but it's effectively a dog-sized rat , can chew hole straight through the typical north ameristani wooden house ) << Latinas apparently view mapache (aka. trash panda) as mystery critter and protagonist of children's stories
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they have fields tho. and it apparently knows how to level a hectare/day, like boar
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's ok, euros don't build like that.
asciilifeform: ( raccoon, to euro folx, can look like exotic fairy tale beast, but it's effectively a dog-sized rat , can chew hole straight through the typical north ameristani wooden house )
BingoBoingo: Well, shipping container would be on the other side of the city. Could be airplane passenger
asciilifeform: ( difficult to picture nao, but at one time the rat was unknown west of urals )
asciilifeform: or prior : the rat
mircea_popescu: kinda how the plague m,oved, too. old history of shipping spreading... new ideas.
asciilifeform when reads of 'venomous snake found', inevitably thinks of conan doyle's 'speckled band'
asciilifeform: it's how we got those pestilential stink-beetles here in washingtonistan
asciilifeform: incidentally, erry so often, a critter untypical for $region turns up, having stowed away in asian shipping container
BingoBoingo: Well, Carrasco where the fellow was found is one of the "richer" barrios
mircea_popescu: usually... who knows. i can't tell from pic iof still has his lol
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in orcistan where zoo snake still has glands, prolly the war museum has shells with live fuse still in, betcha
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my recollection is that circus snakes are typically 'fixed', de-venomed. if was 'pet', then prolly belonged to hindu fella
mircea_popescu: snake can be very sneaky, but usually younger / adolescent males. this dude seems quite adult, i'd expect moar territorial with hissings and whatnot.
BingoBoingo: Fellow could have hitched a ride on a truck
BingoBoingo: I think they also might have a zoo over there
mircea_popescu: but yeah i guess, circus or w/e sorta thing.
mircea_popescu: i had nfi they even lived there.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo hory shit that's a pit viper.
mircea_popescu: even translates fine back to english : the rewhoreation of the biwhoretwos.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I find it entirely natural and to reputation's credit that it would have puta
asciilifeform: billymg: you may also take an interest in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1762 , tho the mechanism relies on friendship with existing l1 folx , and is considered experimental ( it is a means of insuring against catastrophic crypto breaks )
asciilifeform: only the display, presently, isn't.
asciilifeform: billymg: notice that you're self-voicing, so the actual mechanism is real-time.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo don't you find it distinctly amusing that reputation has "puta" in it ?
mircea_popescu: not that it solves the ~general problem~, now gotta safeguard the addy.
mircea_popescu: iirc other than new voice model, a "flush addy" was also in deedbot upgrade spec.
mircea_popescu: oh. right then.
BingoBoingo: Imma have to do some history consulting
asciilifeform: billymg: out of general principle, and esp. for usaschwitz inmates, it dun hurt to have a well-masqueraded copy sitting some place far from yours or your associates' usual business & habitation
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: ty, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/bkxGd/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: tattoo on slavegirls, whynot. then -- 3bn identicals!
asciilifeform: billymg: intensely personal matter. put it where 1) you'll find it, and can decipher 2) nosy third parties, won't
mircea_popescu: billymg this is altogether an open question.
billymg: what is the best method for backup? other drives or paper/physical?
asciilifeform has nfi what the english pilots call it. perhaps 'mccain pilotage'...
mircea_popescu: i thought it's "gross error"
asciilifeform: losing key is the ultimate 'coarse error of pilotage', and it's happened before, so worth mentioning to all n00bz.
mircea_popescu: in any case, even if i say "basfii-liceform is actually asciilifeform 's new key, he managed to lose the old one", you'll be stuck speaking from the new name and depending on everyone evermore both a) encountering that notice and b) giving a shit, to jump the gap.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right, but this is not to be relied on. and only even in principle could work for close meatspace associates of existing l1 folx.
