asciilifeform: ('hard', for n00bz, i will reminds, is when mean-free-path of particle is longer than the container is wide along any axis)
mircea_popescu: i dun think it does that.
asciilifeform: while we're on subj of idiot db: i looked into how to sanely aggregate writes in bdb. turned up 0.
asciilifeform: btw not only do i ask for this, but i would even buy a multi-ported ssd. to ACTUALLY read from two holes at same time. because in some applications, you can guarantee consistency using YOUR OWN system, and don't need to rely on some idiot's lock
asciilifeform: i recall one where i asked how to force unlocking for reads in pgsql , and found answer was 'fuckyou'
mircea_popescu: no, just, i don't give a shit what happens to any request.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought you had a cachetron in there? or does every www load actually result in db reads
mircea_popescu: I DID SAY!
mircea_popescu: reads, in the 1k/s range i guess. trilema is big.
mircea_popescu: writes ? i dunno, one a day ?
mircea_popescu: quite literally irresponsible : i don't fucking answer TO YOU SAD LOT
a111: Logged on 2016-10-15 05:27 asciilifeform: heimbach was one hell of a d00d, i met him on a street, where he picketed 'occupyists' while waving kaiser banner.
mircea_popescu: no fixes till then i don't think.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-23 19:12 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform o hey, consider this situation : 1. i know your fp, so i make fake key for that fp. 2. i know trinque 's fp, so i make fake key for that fp too. 3. i know you keep a signed copy of trinque's key on your keyring ; so : 4. i proceed to sign trinque's fake key with your fake key and 5. pretend to be a noob and give you my gpg pubkey.
mod6: nice, thanks for the links. i'll keep readin'
mod6: what i want to do is write a program that does somethings to not only get a feel for the lang, but also how to use packages.
mod6: ah yah, that's a good list of things. i've got it bookmarked. good to have it in the l0gz again tho.
mod6: I already bought that Ada 95 lecture notes book and had it on my shelf. found it there lastnight. heh.
mod6: lol, so get this. i was thinking, "man i really should have gotten a Ada ref book..."
shinohai: Not bad here, you? Hopefully I can get time this afternoon to add asciilifeform 's newest goodies and test
trinque: oh, I guess asians do say kek, too.
trinque: I'd wager the e was random drift
a111: Logged on 2017-02-25 02:14 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-25#1617860 << after n years i still am in the dark, re what exactly is a kek, and where to get one
ben_vulpes: veen: i share these reservations; d'ya think the t-top'd have been better off without a shroud?
ben_vulpes: nono, i live in the burbs now!
asciilifeform: dunno, i saw a bicyclist not long ago, and thought of ben_vulpes's urban hell.
ben_vulpes: now i need to replace it, but from dust accumulation from shithead pressed shitboard 'house' fabricator who infested the lot next door lo this past year
ben_vulpes: i locked mine to the car for a year or so, then stopped
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i realized recently that i could finally put car into one of those burlap sacks, that folx in '90s su had cars in
ben_vulpes: but i would like to for example work on the thing at night, with lights, while dry
asciilifeform: ( i park on city street. yes, with the bulldozers. )
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i know where the heated car storage in town is
ben_vulpes: i have an uncovered driveway alongside my house, could make it covered
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i met a hungarian crackpot d00d who makes, with own hands, and sells, those.
asciilifeform: (rather than the example i gave today, with merely dumping writes over 1s)
ben_vulpes: well but then what i am i to complain about
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: also i recommend against any further sweat put into ping-ban patch, it is ~worthless
asciilifeform: nfi; but i have idea how to find out !!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-25#1617860 << i once met a chick who stated that a major life goal of hers was to be Officially Denounced by splc. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i am not an azenexpert
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-25#1617860 << after n years i still am in the dark, re what exactly is a kek, and where to get one ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-02-24 18:40 ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-21#1616287 << subj. of autocad, i finally stood a cadcam workstation up in support of project carport and shit damn inventor is a well-designed piece of software.
pete_dushenski: shinohai: i notice that same 'st9bad_alloc' error on vps node with some frequency as well but never on dedibox. not sure if it's a clock / timing issue but that's my best guess.
asciilifeform: i.e. http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/db.h?v=makefiles#0085 << .
jurov: https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/?q=Slovakia i finally put up permanent trb node (it's the syncing one), but have nfi about the other two
mircea_popescu: needs some scriptage. may i suggest perl ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at some point, when i find out how to get gprof to run with musltronic/static binary
mircea_popescu: (ftr, these in order are the two major soaks i am aware of ; whether they manifest for you right here or not)
asciilifeform: i got the thing profiling as we speak.
mircea_popescu: moreover, i'm the one guy time flows favourably for. why wait in 2012 ? because lo, dollar from 50 bitcents to a tenth of a dime in five years.
mircea_popescu: of course, if it succeeds i might very well discover in myself an inclination to move over there, spend the next decade going on safari among the "urban elite" for fresh daughters to feed the slave markets.
BingoBoingo: It's been a tough fight, largely against myself, but hopefully I can keep the venom cutting instead of resorting to taking words on top of words
mod6: lately, i've been getting bh'd so much, i've been recycling my node nearly daily.
mod6: asciilifeform: ya, I've seen the 'std::bad_alloc' from ProcessMessage before -- it doesn't happen to me often, and it doesn't seem to be at the point of OOM exactly. i have noticed that it seems to happen after my node has been up for an extended period of time. say >1week.
mircea_popescu: i like how they manage to package tidal locking and orbital harmonics into "a little known theory from 1989". by the same measure fucking is a little known activity from the 70s. if you're at camp with janine garofalo i guess this isn't even so far fetched a description.
mircea_popescu: is this fake science ? i would like to know before i click if some dork in "our democracy" approved these findings.
mircea_popescu: i was waiting for that :D
ben_vulpes: hey man i've never tested the buckling load of my own cock
ben_vulpes: i was worried about structural damage for a moment
trinque: eh some faggot already tore that off when I got here
ben_vulpes: i have discovered the worst kind of cock broken
mircea_popescu: if you must, i doggyfucked so animalicly a poor damsel yesterday my cock's all broken.
mircea_popescu: hey, i wrote & published two articles today, did a major game design update, planning for infrastructure refurbishment, started a whole new network of agents AND read some inane shit some dickless failawyer published on medium.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-21#1616287 << subj. of autocad, i finally stood a cadcam workstation up in support of project carport and shit damn inventor is a well-designed piece of software. ☝︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: stack, for the curious: moar tests for v.pl (i'm writing them because my personal heap is too fragmented to make me a useful manual tester), read and compile a large and a small patch from asciilifeform, ops tasks in support of WIRES, gaze into the writhing horror diana_coman needs a lasso around, and somewhere find an hour to finish up the import of phf's logs back to early 2016
mircea_popescu: i think we're all agreed that the problem with this here republic is nothing ever happens.
mircea_popescu: "Like most of my law school classmates, I was a hyper-ambitious narcissist with no concrete plans for achieving the greatness to which I was entitled."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, i dunno.
mircea_popescu: the shadows again, no matter how factual they may be. The well is polluted to its core. Who to blame for this is at this point irrelevant (though in my last piece I argued the MSM should largely blame itself) because the distrust is so deep that it’s never coming back." << i lulzed.
mircea_popescu: can't say as i ahd.
mircea_popescu: i am starting to not9ic9e a pa9tter9n he9re.
phf: ah, i haven't updated your expired key
phf: i kind of want a way to link useful assets to a patch on btcbase. right now if you have a readme.txt inside a patches folder you get that included as a prelude for a patchset (http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=fg). i think it would be handy to include wires over ssh link somewhere on the wires patch page..
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-03#1421109 << btw, thank you for this, alf. I will be embarking on my own gentoo quest soon to finally stand up a trb node ☝︎
asciilifeform: i could even picture that the original plan included offering d00d antidote, if he comes along..
mircea_popescu: i dunno that guy who got splashed vx would go around complaining that hey, i got splashed ten minutes ago.
asciilifeform: btw i find it strange that the local orc docs did not notice classical picture of organophosphate poison
mircea_popescu: i suppose.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, nerve agents are usually irritant.
asciilifeform: ultimately i'ma tear down the tunneltron and replace with 'g'. but same idea, topologically.
asciilifeform: turns out, i just built it.
asciilifeform: aha, i oughta not've used my anal handz!!1!
mircea_popescu: what i'm more interested in is this apparent limit on "what can be thought about" based on some sort of i'm not even sure what. is it the case that i can't think about women now ?
veen: forget it, it's a low value point i've already attempted to make
mircea_popescu: i confess i have nfi what you're talking about.
veen: i suspect we'll never reconcile the "must build snow-flake" paranoia with drive to make architecture which can be reasoned about
asciilifeform: i have this duo, scrolling on opposite lcds
veen: oh i saw it
veen: userland shitprng is a wrinkle indeed, one i wasn't aware of until this thread
asciilifeform: iirc argument was ' i dun wanna recompile gpg '
mircea_popescu: well the only argument pro i'm aware of is "it's there already"
veen: to explain my reasoning by way of donning my engineering hat, i saw an existing contract of the form "noise comes out here" and a deficit default implementation, and proposed a better impl
asciilifeform: veen: security through not conveniently labeling 'here i keep the crown jewels' in advance. it multiplies.
asciilifeform: i've got /dev/tty.....
asciilifeform: veen: i, for instance, am sitting in front of a box with 11 hardware ttys
veen: unless i'm grossly misunderstanding the sematics, reading /dev/random for infinity should produce dat sweet flat spectrum, right?
veen: i'm imagining arch like: device -> udev fuckery -> prog reading /dev/random
asciilifeform: i.e. NOT emit flat spectrum of octets 0x00 - 0xFF !!!!!!
veen: great, but gpg is only one of n programs on my system that need good random numbers, and i don't care to recompile them all
asciilifeform: veen: have patience, i have only 2 hands
