diana_coman: and hm, it seems that it's more like ~all from one single node actually? (pizarro hosted, yes but is that the only one that is hosted by pizarro?)
asciilifeform: i've nfi then who it was
diana_coman: I don't see 149.56.19.79 in the list of advertised nodes
asciilifeform: as for others, i dun recall who is 149.56.19.79 but iirc also trb
asciilifeform: ^ spoiler/anticlimactic -- loox like just about all new blox on zoolag come from the pizarro noades
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in other noose, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-29#1855579 >> http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/trb/9_30_ProcessBlock.txt << thus far . ☝︎
asciilifeform: (i.e. one where you can make/receive calls, and maybe even read the l0gz)
asciilifeform: Mocky: there's typically a way to crack pnojes and unlock whether vendor wanted to or not. but you may or may not want to burn the time to do this, a reasonable pnoje can be had for pocket change
Mocky: asciilifeform, diana_coman: my phone's not paid off so can't unlock. maybe those hundies that could pay it off will find a better use in the short term, so that's why cheap second phone. and yeah, roaming turned off. ☟︎
asciilifeform: can't say it was a very dire loss tho.
asciilifeform: ( and nao 404, and afaik there is no copy )
asciilifeform: aha that's what i was thinking of
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-12-12#1341598 -> this one, asciilifeform? ☝︎
asciilifeform: then again possibly i would not today agree that it were good, having since renounced e.g. heapism
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you find it in the l0gz, plox to link
asciilifeform: diana_coman: there was a site (nao dead! incidentally.) with didactic/trivial pieces
diana_coman: really? I thought there was a site you were recommending precisely for "good ada code", wasn't there?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: interestingly, just about my entire collection of vintage ada, with the exception of that little serpent thing, qualifies for this museum.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: thing is eminently fit for 'museum of sad ada'
diana_coman: asciilifeform, aha! let the code stay there though for future reference now
asciilifeform: Mocky: most folx buy local sims if they hang around for any length of time. why wouldja want to pay your telco roaming fee for 8 weeks.
diana_coman: possibly even buy a bunch of cheap ones, unlock and then just plug into them whatever/wherever sim(s)
BingoBoingo: Mocky: How are you doing on soaking the luggage in poisons? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: That works too. Just try to price phones there, it will likely be cheaper to pick up the cheap unlocked deal before you depart ☟︎
Mocky: I think I'm going to pick up a cheap unlocked phone as mine isn't unlocked
BingoBoingo: Mocky: I got my sim at a mall kiosk. You may find better luck at the airport.
BingoBoingo: Rather than using the cell network services orcs tend to funnel much of their contacting through "Whatsapp" so hygeine accordingly
mircea_popescu: in other not-really-news, i had some "old parr" at bar/disco (that had nothing else). that thing is distinctly the sheep bladders whiskey.
jurov: And the IP address mirror is the foundation box where I'm presently migrating the mailinglist.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they're yours for so long as pig corralled.
mircea_popescu: anyway, ima take girls out. will be back for more of this later!
mircea_popescu: the error to this view is in assigning agency to animals. they had none. whether the proverbial diamonds are in my safe or in my pigs, they're still mine.
asciilifeform: was however speaking of the other commonality -- the absence of anyffing one might confuse for a design
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 02:10 asciilifeform: whereas when somebody throws coin into a prb wallet, for any reason whatsoever, whether because he is idjit or because we made it harder to avoid, that's coin into usg coffers.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855833 << and that's what it always were. ☝︎
asciilifeform: when beads look +ev to the chief -- bang, sold.
asciilifeform: in this also.
mircea_popescu: in that they end up sold to the man with the bag of shiny beads ?
mircea_popescu: pay, and pay to pay, and pay to pay to pay. and http://trilema.com/2018/the-republic-without-mp/#selection-175.0-175.383
asciilifeform: linux is a sad story for same reason as the sov pdp11 - 'why didja copy liquishit when could have made sane design' 'but CHEAP! and legacy coad! and warez!' it was economic 'forced mistake'.
mircea_popescu: there's no free lunch for the pantsuit.
mircea_popescu: this is an important fucking point -- IF, and that is a humongously immense IF, we do not actually burn everyone down, that everyone gotta pay. and pay well. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: every hour you spend suing the government is an hour you don't spend burning down the police station.
mircea_popescu: like flying their car into the fucking post office.
mircea_popescu: and all the people that put in, a man-hour or a man-decade into his project (i don't mean the fucktards, i mean ~the actual people~) could have done something useful in that hour or decade.
mircea_popescu: linus is the shaman in this picture. i'd have been better off without any linux, than with his sorry ass excuse for an os.
mircea_popescu: i would rather die of the fucking colic, than spend time at the shaman's "office" and then die of the colic anyway.
asciilifeform: my contention is that linuses are red herring, they are powerless to prevent sane engineering when the capable folx stand up. ☟︎
asciilifeform: or even cpu that dun overflowate.
mircea_popescu: so then what are we talking about.
mircea_popescu: right. such as, for instance, a fucking os you can trust.
asciilifeform: not being immortal, i dun deal in 'eventuallies'. fact is that plenty of things for which 'was no linus' still to this day not resolved in any form , and i dun expect to live to see resolved, either masterfully or ineptly
mircea_popescu: if linus wasn't around to subvert early republican effort, it's not the case "republic wouldn't have ever existed" ; but it is the case republic would have been greater and better without his despicable ass. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you think if lincoln didn't show up to fuck up the us constitution under the guise of "black chicks code", the issue of black chicks and coding would have never been addressed or somehow resolved ?
mircea_popescu: and this is what they do, and this is the bitter fruit whereby you know them : their activity results in things being worse than if they never existed at all.
mircea_popescu: these fujcking morons managed to turn ~~~AVIATION~~~, humanity's oldest dream, into a LIFETIME NEGATIVE VALUE activity.
asciilifeform: from where got idea that it prevented anyffing
mircea_popescu: had it fizzled in 1993, like so many other vaporware manalone projects, the world today ~would have been better off~.
mircea_popescu: it is ~regrettable~ linux even got started AT ALL in the current circumstances.
mircea_popescu: the ~only~ thing you get out of "removing obstacles" is another linus debacle, whereby you belabour for however many decades under the false flag of an unredeemable asshole. he will sell you out, and pretend he's doing you a favour.
mircea_popescu: what impedes them is not it, but everything-not-it, namely : themselves. their miserable orc nature. if it washes, let it wash, and if it doesn't wash, let them hang.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 02:08 asciilifeform: if idjit breaks it, he can do no harm thereby that prb does not already do; if he runs a valid node, it contributes to strength of the net.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855832 << translating the scripture has the significant disadvantage that all sorts of morons "get to thinking" about "how it should be", down the line you end up with anglicanism, protestantisms, etc. the fact that scripture is written in human language is not "impediment put in way of orcs". ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 02:06 ben_vulpes: is there some fetlife for nerds funnel under optimization?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855830 << hopefully you're not asking me this. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: segwit was always a matter of "hipsters & doofuses community chests, someone takes it all sometime"
asciilifeform: ( i actually have nfi why they havent yet )
asciilifeform: even politically. they have option of unwinding segwit, say.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i meant politically, not technologically. yes, technologically they owe us more than they owe their mom & dad.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 01:51 asciilifeform: and yes if there were some magical way to get errybody who benefits from tbf and ergo working btc net, to put into the piggy, it'd be splendid, thing could fund even such things as flotillae of noads, or even trbi dev, etc, whoknows. but there is no magic. and it is a lucky thing that tbf in fact has the coin with which to do the bare minimum and host patches ( not on shitazon! jurov ! ) and handful of reliable nodes.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855821 << imo the only limiting factor in foundation finance atm is the twin perception that foundation doesn't need more money nor has anything useful to do with it if it had more money. ☝︎
asciilifeform: they have option of ditching glibc, say. which hadnt then.
mircea_popescu: miners have today exactly all the options they had in 2015.
mircea_popescu: and so following. shit rots because it's shit, not because will to power.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 01:47 asciilifeform: the continued convertibility of btc into saecular goods, e.g. rack space, is not separable from healthy 'ecology' sadly.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855820 << the only advantage is that ecology is largely self-minding. i didn't tell the power rangers morons to shoot themselves in the face. i told them not to ; and they did anyway. ☝︎
asciilifeform: miners relevant collectively, rather than individually. like ears of corn..
mircea_popescu: i can not possibly think of one single name that satisfies all of a) is relevant to bitcoin ; b) is not in l1 and c) is not so fucking stupid, own feces constitute a good portion of its diet.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 01:45 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if heathendom drifts far enuff into prbism, as things are currently we're blockless
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855817 << they coulkd if they would. they don't because they're not-credible proven-retards. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: yes, wealthier and larger l1. but the only way there is through talk to more people ; and pointedly not through imagining things.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855891 << that was easy, he all but snapped himself. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i see the point of hind-front, though ideally not entirely as a time function.
mircea_popescu: people using your software that are the usual sort of idiots... you ain't got anything going there.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 02:24 ben_vulpes: not surfacing every single person capable of operating a v for subsequent filtering of whether or not they are ready to convert also yields.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855856 << this is by far the larger concern. ☝︎
trinque: speculative proposal is to have tbf do same snapping up of their l2, see what happens.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform in particular could not ransom even with entire piggy , sadly. but fortunately there are other folx with hands growing from right organ )
asciilifeform: and i suppose if other l1 similarly imprisoned but cheaper to ransom than asciilifeform , could potentially make effect
asciilifeform: i can speak only for self, but at least in my case it is tru
trinque: no offense to anyone involved
trinque: their time is short because they're all pulling salaries in shitland
asciilifeform: a bitcent or 2 doesnt change this.
asciilifeform: rright, but point was orig 'the skilled hands are few and short time'
trinque: didn't say eat the seeds
asciilifeform: trinque: tru. but nobody's about to become mircea_popescu off what's in the tbf piggy as we know it.. ☟︎
trinque: only thing gonna free up l1 hands is wealthier l1 ☟︎
asciilifeform: on the 1 occasion when shortage of coin was the burning fire, tbf stepped up and did just this.
asciilifeform: the 1 gotcha is that most trb-related items afaik constrained by scarcity of skilled l1 hands, not coin as such
trinque: good investments oughta be able to drive new customers to pizarro for infrastructure.
