BingoBoingo: Mostly for what isn't on its gentoo
mircea_popescu: you don't even have to ascii armor, if that bothers you.
asciilifeform: but it won't be very available.
asciilifeform: a reasonably-mechanized process for distributing warez to one's l1/l2 might be useful, but i haven't yet devised one that dun break in annoying ways in the field.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn't a tracker, just a large box with the entire collection of trilema reviewed films. on for a year or so, but turned it off recently.
jurov: diana_coman: really, let's seriously troubleshoot this. if you aren't using hosts file, can you please paste the output of: dig therealbitcoin.org and: dig MX therealbitcoin.org
asciilifeform: incidentally i'll add that most published heathen ada proggies use c-style heapism, it isn't banned by the lang per se.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884196 << the point isn't the "monetary" cost, they have 0 money anyway. the point is the intellectual cost -- they're monkeys, they barely got enough brainpower to cluck at the shiny, what computer, what computers. ☝︎
Mocky: unrelatedly, it's strange time distortion to be a newb and compress the reading of back #trilema & #ba logs into 8 months and then see http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884140 and realize the fella (and plenty others fresh in the mind) hasn't even spoken here for a year ☝︎
stratum: If individuals want to communicate using heavily encrypted sneakernet to avoid NSA goons, that is certainly okay by me. But I don't see that happening for the billions any time soon. ☟︎
asciilifeform: stratum: one doesn't even need to sit on hitler's throne to bypass sslism; typical idjit os comes with root certs from such shitholes as e.g. greece and latvia
stratum: Most people don't even have one "box" -- More and more browsing from their phones as their sole computing device, billions of them. I think there is a disconnect in what we're discussing: which is why I mention RMS and his helpers.
asciilifeform: stratum: so enlighten me, what's the logic -- you can't afford to plug in 2 boxes , but want to tell self stories at bedtime re 'secure anyway' ?
Mocky: yes, a more resilient design is much needed for the bot. it also needs to get out from under the thumb of the ps event/thread model so that adding capabilities doesn't require crimes-against-humanity levels of extra code in order to approach resilience
mircea_popescu: there's no serious reason to write our poor people in the way THEIR poor people would like our poor people to work [for the transparent reason that thusly, our poor people won't outcompete and drown out their poor people].
a111: Logged on 2019-01-02 15:31 asciilifeform: mats: i haven't built anyffing useful from ice40 with own hands yet. but, interestingly, when bought a 'scsi2sd' device for replacing disk in bolix box, found that author in fact used ice40 for the job
asciilifeform: only that he hasn't been seen since...
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 16:59 asciilifeform: given as the fella didn't end up sticking to republic, i dun expect we'll ever find out.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884068 << i don';t expect any of the ten thousand fly eyes has a dec, ever had a dec, or can come up with any actual use for a dec. or for that matter care to know whether their code doesn't work at all. different paradigm!!! ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 16:36 diana_coman: well, it's meant as replacement not as alternative so I don't see why would one keep the sha patches; onth replacement in place aka no name change doesn't break anything either
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i won't know whether the 'constanttimeism litmus' actuallyworx, until i dredge up an iron where it outputs negative
diana_coman: if nitpick at all, the one thing that consistently nags at me (though for which I can't make up my mind as to actual solution) is the implicit reliance on indices to be in fact starting from 1 when copying stuff e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch7_turbo_egyptians.kv#L187
diana_coman: ftr I had to refresh a bit on Knuth Vol 2 at some point but I don't see that as a minus at all
asciilifeform: given as the fella didn't end up sticking to republic, i dun expect we'll ever find out. ☟︎
diana_coman: actually rather curious why doesn't apeloyee sign what he reads
diana_coman: well, it's meant as replacement not as alternative so I don't see why would one keep the sha patches; onth replacement in place aka no name change doesn't break anything either ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 06:54 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, what about it ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, what about it ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'i remember all of my pistols. there wasn't a single one that i hadn't blown out my brains with at least once. we used to shoot ourselves often in those days. pistols and revolvers were indispensable toybox inventory, all kinds : on batteries, with buzzing motors inside, of tin, stinking of burned popgun ribbon, ones that merely snapped, emitted at least a clanking sound, and silent ones, where the throat was called upon to imitate t
a111: Logged on 2018-08-01 03:03 douchebag: I'm in AT&T Hall of Fame
BingoBoingo: I remember. They started to disappear from retail something around second grade when anything that wasn't Chicom plastic got purged from the walmart toy shelves
asciilifeform: i've actually found decent (not constant time, but didn't need, it only checked sigs) rsatrons in malware samples -- kB or so of asm. it aint exactly mystery, how to bake
mircea_popescu: they've got a gpgcrash, a bitcoincrash, an everythingcrash. why don't you care!!!
mircea_popescu: comfortable people don't do things worth watching.
mircea_popescu: cuz that is the fucking job of the producer, i don't care what "american moron's association" "trade practices" are. as long as it's a set, and something'\s shooting, the producer's job is to rape the talent.
asciilifeform: imho e.g. diddled pgp rng, is moar interesting than firefucks buffer overrun, the latter is used 9000/d but for whom is used the former i have nfi, it hasn't publicly leaked.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-02 17:33 asciilifeform: https://gmplib.org/manual/Integer-Exponentiation.html#Integer-Exponentiation >> 'void mpz_powm_sec (mpz_t rop, const mpz_t base, const mpz_t exp, const mpz_t mod) ... It is required that exp > 0 and that mod is odd.'
trinque: afaik they're just displaying the rdns in deedbot's case, isn't a cloak
mircea_popescu: that they are. i mean nothing wrong with having, and it's an achievement for say nicoleci to get herself one ; but i wouldn't base design decisions on them.
mircea_popescu: well, cloaks don't work in any absolute sense, anyway.
asciilifeform: https://gmplib.org/manual/Integer-Exponentiation.html#Integer-Exponentiation >> 'void mpz_powm_sec (mpz_t rop, const mpz_t base, const mpz_t exp, const mpz_t mod) ... It is required that exp > 0 and that mod is odd.' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Well, sure. Thing starts as an ego inflation exercise: "Can't export because SOMOS NUMERO 1" Y despues ObamArgentina goes from un pais rico en Thalers Alemman to incapacity to export soy.
asciilifeform: mats: i haven't built anyffing useful from ice40 with own hands yet. but, interestingly, when bought a 'scsi2sd' device for replacing disk in bolix box, found that author in fact used ice40 for the job ☟︎
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/i-dont-get-it/ << Trilema -- I don't get it...
mircea_popescu: yet there it sat, because really, who the hell drinks instant cocoa. until a few months ago, i can't even recall when, we bought a popsicle kit. which, you know, take bimbos out to plastic joystore, what are you going to end up with, makeshift dildos and popsicle sets.
mircea_popescu: not even saying there IS something you could do, at that. what you don't know is what you don't know.
mircea_popescu: impossible to fucking evaluate, this. "the resume is getting me interviews [with the sort of people it gets me interviews with ; while not getting me interviews with the sort of people it doesn't get me interviews with. what am i to do ?]".
Mocky: the resume gets me interviews. if I wasn't getting interviews I'd worry more about the resume.
Mocky: nicoleci, thx. I get good interest from the resume so I can't blame that. Just gotta keep with the crank winding.
lobbesbot: Mocky: Sent 4 days, 6 hours, and 41 minutes ago: <hanbot> eulora bot feature request: ability to reject mining claims by type. for instance mining bn costs me moar than merely striking it with a tool; i've gotta sink materials into it, whereas the resulting bn isn't worth the cost of those materials to me atm. 'ignore bn' or somesuch would be really useful.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in the "believe!!! why don't you believe ?!?!" files, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/JzCb2/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: was there a more spurious empire in the history of africa ? i get it, niggers can't compete with humans. but even among the chimps, they're competing ~the wrong end~.
BingoBoingo: In other news, one of the fucking Pichis tried walking a database. This morning I was in the shower when the Porteria Electrica rang. The voice on the other end had a thick accent I couldn't understand, so I offered "un momento", put on clothes, and went to the door of the building...
asciilifeform: ( presumably there's a pair of contacts that gets an uart, haven't found it yet tho, it's a low-priority thread )
BingoBoingo: I'll put some time into reading up on weechat. The opposition is at the moment I just don't know much about it.
mod6: Ok, well, maybe this isn't very useful then. But will throw it out here anyway. Good to know
mod6: Haven't had a chance to build it yet. I will do so, and a cuntoo when I get a chance.
billymg: family is visiting today so won't be around for the rest of the evening though, back online tomorrow
asciilifeform: i'll be surprised if i haven't nailed the last comment typo by the time done adding chapter-sized knobs, tbh
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-28#1883605 << it is impossible to defend against this criticism, as formulated, so i won't try ☝︎
mircea_popescu: this doesn't make for much.
mircea_popescu: the vpatch that adds a "except if number is 5577, math doesn't work for 5577" is a VERY different patch from the vpatch that adds "here's a sentence ended by a comma turned ended by a dot instead"
mircea_popescu: the larger problem is "what is meant by a patch". i doubt the item can survive ~even one~ major alterations. meanwhile "hey, you spelled theyre with an apostrophe" needn't be counted (but need be fixed)
mircea_popescu: turns out he doesn't know ; in context probably dunbar's number is the saner approach.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure how that kelvin thing's supposed to work ; notably bothj knuth and mod6 attempted it, but the problem with starting with a number is that you don't know what to pick.
asciilifeform: until hr ago i was deadly certain that it couldn't
mircea_popescu: possibly you shouldn't have agreed!
mircea_popescu: i hope i didn't say something to offend teh russki patriot, did i ? http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-20#1882391 is just a neutral observation, not in any sense ~my fault~ they're morons. ☝︎
asciilifeform doesn't have one yet, sadly
asciilifeform: if he doesn't, he's theoretically open to, e.g. rowhammer.js .
mircea_popescu: dude, the archive russki fellow utterly doesn't do this.
mircea_popescu: and if you don't replicate it, well...
diana_coman: from what you say it would seem that you are actually using a keccak version but that doesn't fit with what you said earlier re checksums not matching
diana_coman: billymg, well, if the hash is not keccak, you can't exactly press it on top of a keccak patch; and moreover if the sig doesn't verify then it doesn't press it so how would the changes be there?
billymg: ok, updated and it now presses but when i inspect the resulting directory the changes aren't there (it also came with an error i saw before on genesis, about a file's hash not matching expected -- i assumed this was because my v.py is pre-keccak)
a111: Logged on 2018-11-12 20:25 bvt: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-12#1871478 << fixing/replacing the theme is on my todo list, however i still haven't fixed all the problems in wp-admin (png/jpg vs svg), so work on the theme will have to wait a bit.
billymg: i do however still need to figure out why i can't press http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-27#1883342 -- before i can create new patches. if anyone has time to take a look or suggest debug tips i'd much appreciate it ☝︎
billymg: in the default theme's css from the genesis press there are some image links that don't resolve because of bad file extensions http://bimbo.club/wp-content/themes/default/style.css
billymg: also i should note that i didn't include the css changes to the default theme in this patch because i thought a user might want to add one but not the other
mircea_popescu: managing idiots is a game that can't be won, and ~ample experience~ is what informs my firm committment to tolerate no such thing.
mircea_popescu: "hello girlies & morons, write me 500 words as to why sophocles isn't euripides" slash "hello dorky, you've got 30 seconds". what the hell's the difference.
mircea_popescu: carehehehehefully "curating" and "promoting" their "online business" predicated on "you don't have to actually buy colored wool / playdo to be on etsy"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mcarthur's idea re protein shortage in occupied jp -- feed'em whale. << Reads like Pantsuit revisionism. Of course Island that can't ranch infinitcows is going to whale eat.
mircea_popescu: by now, 99% of walkers live off the dole, so they don't really happen anymore.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it's a wonder anyone gets to keep a job for a whole damned year. << Increasingly they don't
mircea_popescu: ow shit. sorry for that, didn't realise it'll be THAT long.
mircea_popescu: and they're known for a strict incapacity to maintain multiple loci of interest. so if indeed orangemanguyfawkes masks would be available, then #orangemanguyfawkes would have 1mn users ; but as they aren't, thereofe #orangeman has 800k users and #guyfawkes 200k users.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in other stray thoughts : isn't it a wonder the "orange man" and the "guy fawkes" memes aren't merging ? << There was some overlap with people wearing gray bodysuits to play NPCs
mircea_popescu: can't merge because while intellectually meaningful, practically impossible, no mfg base.
mircea_popescu: in other stray thoughts : isn't it a wonder the "orange man" and the "guy fawkes" memes aren't merging ?
a111: Logged on 2018-12-25 16:56 mircea_popescu: kinda addictive to write, too, aren't they.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i don't even consider fettards delivered to this world in that same five year plan the "reforms" came.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-05 01:26 mircea_popescu: "oh, DO WE STILL HAVE TO DO THIS ?!?!?! IN 2018 ?!?! EPICYCLES ?!?!?". gimme a break, you can't light a fucking lightbulb.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-26#1883049 << absolutely fucking not. "everywhere" ? are you fucking kidding me, reading university hasn't discovered the wonder of microphony, in 2018. i'm sure they had the (by then 20yo items) back in 1898, state of the art, too. but 120 years later... http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1764531 and all that. costa ricans can't fucking merge, what "everywhere". ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: this is what the internet was even fucking sold as! "this'll be a place where every fucktarded murican, coolest-guy-in-his-town goes to find out he didn't even make the qualifying tops"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-25#1883039 << always a great idea. people ~should~ have ample opportunity to discover how insufficient, unimpressive, etcetera they are. i don't mean "fair" opportunity, ie, a 9mn% increase over what their environment currently provides. i mean fucking ample. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: 't route -- it all hinges on whether the post office is priviledged or not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think it's underhanded in the sense i don't think underhanded means anything in the context. there's a very strict difference between the priviledged and the unpriviledged position, "only do those things specifically allowed" vs "do all things not specifically forbidden". while you'd expect a customer to only read mail addressed to him, it's iffy whether you expect the post office to read all mail it can
asciilifeform: you wouldn't give stradivari to glue to some fella who maybe glued chair leg or 2 some time last yr.
mircea_popescu: that chick was ~so fucking hurt~ you couldn't believe.
