benkay: children need
to feel
the scourge of others opinions early.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: did you offer
to help him
take his picture?
benkay: you need
to hone your glare. shotgun's unnecessary.
moiety: nah i have no
time for
that. shotgun + face + close range = can get on with other
things nao
thx
kakobrekla: i like solitude and re profiles,
they are getting banned or i delete

the bane of my existence
benkay: must really enjoy subjecting yourself
to mental anguish, moiety
moiety: can someone explain
to me why i bother with
the forum. I have no idea.
mircea_popescu: think :
the guy doesn't even have ONE friend
to
take his picture.
mircea_popescu: and i
thought
to myself... here's a crow,
that has no friends, but
through
the use of
technology will make itself a profile, and put it online
mircea_popescu: it was just him and
the crows, which were also playing with sticks and items in a similar figety manner
mircea_popescu: who was fiddling with
the camera
to get it
to sit up so it'll
take his picture
mircea_popescu: what
triggered for me was
that i was walking
through a park yest, and
there was
this lonely kinda strange
tall lanky black haired guy

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.72062530 BTC
to 7`551 shares, 36030 satoshi per share
benkay: <mircea_popescu> on one hand, having a
third party involved in any bitcoin
transaction, in any way, is breaking
the protocol. << not a fan of multisig?
thestringpuller: it
talked about professionalism and how one doesn't care if
the mechanic's dog died earlier
that day
benkay: mircea_popescu: ah i was wondering if
the gentleman had his own outlet
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: do you remember
that email asciilifeform passed you
punkman: fluffypony: well yeah I guess, or make a bot
that goes and approves
the IP before it
tries
to do anything
fluffypony: punkman: proxy requests
through a box with a fixed IP?
mircea_popescu: maybe "how
to use a battery
to light a bulb, wearethepremieretechandblablainstitutionintheworld" ?
punkman: so I was making a little cli interface for Namecheap, and
they want me
to login on
the website and approve my IP address for API access every
time it changes
mircea_popescu: <punkman> so come up with something stupid
to sell
to MIT people, get almost all of
that $500k of btc <<
punkman: so come up with something stupid
to sell
to MIT people, get almost all of
that $500k of btc
kakobrekla: this is "we decided
to make
this half a million into nothing"
punkman: good
thing
they didn't make MITcoin
ThickAsThieves: maybe bitbet
that 80% of it ends up with 20% of
the people?
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: yeah read
that earlier, it's an interesting experiment
ozbot: Announcing
the MIT Bitcoin Project | MIT Bitcoin Club
pankkake: like some
trackers ban advance copies
pankkake: kakobrekla: what.cd eventually removed COFEE
though, feared legal problems or something
fluffypony: I like parts of
the US and a handful of
the people
there, but not enough
to move
there
kakobrekla: that
thing is no longer up, was a fake i guess
the20year: hopefully when mrstickball he can grab decent BW on
the fiber
that runs right next
to
the complex and start renting servers or some such
fluffypony: kakobrekla: $95/month for a E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz, 8gb RAM, 2x 1tb eSATA drives, and 1tb of
traffic
pankkake: I wonder if
there's a request on what.cd
bounce: there's a baseline guaranteed brokenness courtesy php,
though
pankkake: I hate
the new admin interface
fluffypony: mike_c: I can imagine, we'll put it on
the list of broken
things I don't want
to
touch
mike_c: fluffypony: you should see wikimedia. amazingly it is worse
than wordpress.
pankkake: though most holes lately require access
to wp-admin
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: because WP is so badly written...I wrote a plugin for it years ago, and
that was honestly
the most painful experience in shitty PHP coding
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> I really want
to start a movement of anti-web
things << join
the queue!
pankkake: wordpress is PHP. and you have
to keep
that shit up
to date,
too
kakobrekla: not like 8 bux gives you power
to run infinite* number of blogs
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> pankkake: I wouldn't consider WP a lesser evil
than Disqus << why not ?!
fluffypony: kakobrekla:
the server it's hosted on hosts a bunch of our local sites
that are heavily
trafficked, so I keep it purposely low-impact
pankkake: I really want
to start a movement of anti-web
things
fluffypony: pankkake: I have control over
the content? you can
turn off
that advertising
thingy where
they show similar content
pankkake: and I don't like
the anti spam ways of using javascript. websites should be fully usable without
kakobrekla: this reminds me of Ukyo saying he cant post
to assbot because its
too much network
traffic
pankkake: asciilifeform: definitively. or at least auto-mod
them
pankkake: at least I have full control of
the content!
fluffypony: pankkake: I wouldn't consider WP a lesser evil
than Disqus
mike_c: the server is mining in
the background, so extra cpu costs him btc.
kakobrekla: do you get like millions of hits per day or are cpu cycles
that expensive
there?
pankkake: but for now I'm happy with
the lesser evils of wordpress
pankkake: I'll eventually switch
to a static blog with (automated) comments by mail
fluffypony: so very low impact on
the server, as nginx just ends up serving stuff
that's cached in memory
fluffypony: disqus is
the easiest way for me
to have comments without dicking around for 2 days with unsupported plugins
fluffypony: mike_c: I hate all
the comment plugins for jekyll
the20year: HL sends me daily sales reports, if I felt like it I could post
them showing who bought
the shares
pankkake: well, RENT is openly fiat business, so I wouldn't consider it bad
to not be bitcoin-profitable
