Rozal: I use otc for small trades, and haven't had a single bad trade. I think I'll be alright
asciilifeform: as a pill against 'it won't affect my business'
Rozal: Anyways, I think the matter is closed and I don't wish to create more drama
Rozal: Doesn't effect my business :)
asciilifeform: and (at least presently) the white kidz can't be placed just anywhere
decimation: just because one edits videos on a computer doesn't the same hardware must also be used to surf the web

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well Slate is conviced housing will boost Merica's economy instead of America's housing customs coalescing into multi-generational domiciles common in much of the unbezzel'd world http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2015/01/28/millennials_living_with_parents_we_just_can_t_leave_the_nest_apparently.html

mircea_popescu: when your enemy says this ain't convincing you just scored.
assbot: This critique of /yanisvaroufakis is way less convincing than Varoufakis's critique of bitcoin. http://t.co/HFangftMNf
mircea_popescu: except, it won't be men in usg-blue shirts humbled before tshirted croc wearing crowd,
mircea_popescu: "The #OWS demo wants to see powerful men humbled before the t-shirted, tweeting masses, it allows them the fantasy that it could some day happen here, which it won't because the propaganda worked."
mike_c: would be nice if this script wasn't polluted with html tags.. http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-January/000031.html
BingoBoingo doesn't want to endorse any shady non-BitBet book in chan
ben_vulpes doesn't know anything about anything
mircea_popescu: they hadn't anticipated exactly how easy it is to get killed doing it.
asciilifeform: and didn't much care to see it go easily
asciilifeform: did anyone ever conclusively identify the first bitcoind release that didn't leak like a sieve ?
asciilifeform: it isn't a memory leak in the usual sense
asciilifeform: mats: and given that authentication happens on receipt of first packet - with antireplay nonce - unscannable for (you can't tell if a machine is a brick, a live box refusing to relay ping, or a gossip-udp node) ☟︎
asciilifeform: mats: forgive me if i don't get the point of this (secrecy and deniability?). traffic can be correlated if the circuit is long-term, you tunnel a two way protocol, disruption causes retransmits, and there's noise << there were several points. i recommend reading that entire thread, well worth the time
mod6: no worries. yeah. jurov did some magic i wouldn't have ever figured out.
mod6: my key was in the /mnt/btc-dev/build-script-test/.gnupg, but it didn't echo out... not sure why yet.
jurov: In a portable shell script (and if you don't need portability, why are you writing a shell script?), use > file 2>&1 only

jurov: i may not be always available, don't wait for me
mats: 16-12-2014 01:38:56 <asciilifeform> here's a very rough description of above experiment ... << forgive me if i don't get the point of this (secrecy and deniability?). traffic can be correlated if the circuit is long-term, you tunnel a two way protocol, disruption causes retransmits, and there's noise
mircea_popescu: This is the whole gimmick of media, not polar but triangular, right, left, middle, mobilizing an army of assonauts to feel strongly enough about something that they don't do anything.
mircea_popescu: You'll counter that there are right leaning and left leaning independents, isn't there a difference? but this misses the point: propaganda doesn't try to get you to believe something, but to do something, and in this case it is to do nothing-- it doesn't matter what you choose to believe, as long as your outrage is done from inside your house.
mircea_popescu: The media explains how things relate to him, and as long as he understands what's going on, he feels empowered. He is given an ideology without even knowing it. Now he doesn't actually have to do anything, indeed, it's way the hell better if he does nothing. All that's required is support, and through his support not only will "the right things" happen but he'll share in the credit.
mircea_popescu: speaking of al jazeera usa - http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2013/09/how_does_the_shutdown_relate_t.html tlp on point as usual.
nubbins`: this fucking asshole plants a flag in a part of the desert so dry the fucking BEDOUIN don't go there
mod6: jurov: if you don't mind, what version of gpg are you using
mod6: so you're saying that this doesn't work: gpg --logger-file alert-snip.sig.log --homedir .gnupg
jurov: and if pointed to empty homedit, it won't import keys
jurov: and won't accept relative paths for homedir
jurov: but it won't work anyway, gpg apprently won't create the logfile as requested
pete_dushenski: maybe it wants to, maybe it doesn't, but it will be
danielpbarron: isn't that this? -> "A memory corruption vulnerability allowed decryption of private messages to any attacker with the victim's user ID or phone number."
mircea_popescu: to quote the immortal pesto... "well that ain't gonna work ?!"

nubbins`: 8gb usb nub and wifi nub, don't even need to plug it into router. just wall.
mircea_popescu: women aren't sluts just because they're dressed in the nude ; derps on tv aren't scientists just because they wear a white lab coat ; stinky hobos at your local starbucks aren't anything other than all the other people in starbucks.
davout: asciilifeform: just because they stink and hang out all day at starbucks doesn't mean they're actual hobos
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fun fact : 50% of america dreams of but doesn't own and can't afford a laptop.
asciilifeform: who doesn't have a bag of old laptop drives lying around ?
davout: ok, the thing itself doesn't include storage, does it have to be a sata disk, or would a large enough sd be enough?
nubbins`: i don't have room for a big ol' box
nubbins`: couldn't tell ya
mircea_popescu: nubbins` nah this won't work. the usb actually steals entropy from pc neh ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` don't underestimate the premium we put on people who aren't consumer-broken.
nubbins`: don't underestimate the premium people are willing to pay for convenience tho
mircea_popescu: nubbins` which is why shipping etc doesn't make so much sense. just go plunk down twenny for the box at your local shop
davout: asciilifeform: i didn't get that part, it's pretty fucking cool
mircea_popescu: o wait. the romantic genius doesn't have a father.
davout: "one doesn;t have to import a preloaded chain" <<< the getting up to date from scratch time will be interesting
mircea_popescu: one doesn;t have to import a preloaded chain
mircea_popescu: PeterL well it apparently missed one, and didn't respond to fetch
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but wait, hasn't it been running since yest ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> or should someone aspiring to qntra publishing do it instead ? << leaning towards this, but if interest isn't expressed soon I'll take a break from current writing to do it quickly.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: hanbot: Kind of what I was thinking. There just doesn't seem to be much left of it. << bitpay silently deleting the dramas ?
nubbins`: incidentally, those Teenage Engineering things i linked to re: packaging earlier? They don't even come with a fucking /case/, and people bought them in the tens of thousands when they were announced
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk microsoft is not in the wot. it can't sue anyone.
mircea_popescu: mike_c we don't have to tell them it was asciilifeform not "linux"
trinque: phillipsjk: I didn't but yes, they did.
mircea_popescu: you don't plug it into the wall
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk i don't think anyone'll be able to beat the "spend a coupla hours having fun with real deal code, then forget about it" deal.
mircea_popescu: i don't want to be shipping these out by hand if i can help it.
asciilifeform: idea being, unless you actually want to perform the deterministic build (want pedigreed sources, etc.) you don't need a pc.
mircea_popescu: problem is the chain won't fit.
asciilifeform: conjecture is that there is a set of folks who want to do this, but aren't now because 'i haven't a second pc' or 'fan too loud' ?
nubbins`: those who want to keep running their nodes will. those who don't will cash out (or not!) and stop.
nubbins`: you can't persuade people to do something long-term if they don't see a long-term benefit, period.
mircea_popescu: TomServo might be. but ntp sucks and gossipd don't exist yet.
asciilifeform: but of course, this place doesn't officially exist, 'no one could have guessed' that z was lowered into pederasty and made usg stooge, etc. never happened because not in 'forbes.'
BingoBoingo: hanbot: Kind of what I was thinking. There just doesn't seem to be much left of it.
TomServo: danielpbarron: I'm guessing you'd need to provide your own power for a 3.5", but don't see why that wouldn't work.
adlai: the nerve of this one!: "i can't come to tel aviv for personal reasons, so please meet me in <shithole> and bring cash" at least they're offering a discount but comeon.
diana_coman: thanks nubbins` it wasn't that though
nubbins`: "man, i don't care if this shit is solved or not!"
nubbins`: pete_dushenski:why don't other countries pursue this? lack of domestic consumption? <<< becoming the world's largest economy is usually a thing that happens with some level of reluctance, like when it happened with the usa, and later when it happened with china
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:asciilifeform: actual musicians tell me that the head music is a mirage. << this is correct. much like "ideal woman" that one wouldn't actually suffer in practice. <<< afaik "ideal woman" for most men is a robot with a pussy
nubbins`: "but i don't know how to smoke" "well, i bet you can suck a smokey milkshake through a marijuana straw!"
nubbins`: "but i don't know electronics" "who cares? here are some jumer cables and a bunch of toys with voice chips"
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:nubbins`: you actually don't need any to have fun :D << this is how nubs got into silkscreening, too :D <<< this is actually how i got into most things

pete_dushenski: Oleg Andreev: i thought people reuse passwords because bright and capable engineers haven't come up with a better way yet.
mircea_popescu: They consider themselves leaderless. They can have representatives, they can have "evangelists" but they have to believe that their conclusions are all their own, through individual reflection and objective consideration. Interestingly, and on purpose, they believe their brains can handle such an analysis, any analysis. This isn't arrogance. They are told, by universities and the media, that their mind is prepared t
mircea_popescu: I totally don't know, Boardwalk Empire only goes up to 1924 and Mad Men starts 1960.
pete_dushenski: ^ "Sorta hard to call them "people" then isn't it? "
assbot: 65% of people use the same password everywhere http://t.co/T0ZnMzEUzR
pete_dushenski: i kinda hope adlai isn't even kidding
adlai: i guess they just don't take to twitter
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it's fucking unfortunate that the rabid imbeciles misidentifying themselves as "feminists" can't see the breastfeeding in public thing as anything but "war on porn".
