mircea_popescu: "the best argument against open source is
a five minute interaction with the average internet dog."
mircea_popescu: (note how "everyone" ~YOU HEAR ABOUT~ is trying to make "the next airbnb" ; not the next apple. there's
a reason mother's lullaby goes the way it goes, and that reason mostly has to do with mommy's fear of rape)
mircea_popescu: endless powers) will perceive "those crazy kids" by degrees dangerous. as
a practical imperative it will apply some of its resources towards coopting some ; and towards combatting some others.
mircea_popescu: anyways, to round off the whole linux/bsd, esr/rms/etc angle : at any point the Moterhood (be it implemented in practice as "the USG" or "the public opinion" or "the church of England" or whatever the fuck - there will exist
a conclave of the lazy, stupid and covetous, and it will be somewhat politically influential and appear VERY politically influential much like to the small children the mother appears truly awesome in her
mircea_popescu: should be fun to see how the dc 200k turn ariund the whole "tax resistors are nutty" argument once it's
a case of "president resistors are heros".
mircea_popescu: us president shouldn't be recognized by anyone as
a matter of course anyway.
mircea_popescu: and in lulzy ancient stuff :
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/06/30/esr_interview.html interviewer (random nobody) contrasts sony using netbsd for the psp and people finding out because they put an unlinked text file on their website (as per license obligation) which was then found whereas they advertised the shit out of running linux for the ps3 in the terms of "WE THE PEOPLE made this be".
mircea_popescu: but the notion of having versions on
a license... good god.
mircea_popescu: "Second: show me your code. I want to see URLs to public repositories with your commits in them. (OpenHub statistics will do for
a first cut.) Your credibility goes up with commit volume and number of different projects. and especially with the number of other people you have collaborated with."
mircea_popescu: who the fuck eats the us workman's buffet crap and also is
a professional in any field ?
mircea_popescu: if it is true, then it can't be much of
a criterion retrospectively.
trinque: aha, just poking it for the benefit of logs. it's
a sad state to be in.
mircea_popescu: it was ; but in
a very naive sort of way, ie, "if you think that's how yo udefend you already lost long ago"
trinque: in fact there's mention of
a linux "fork" somewhere in or beyond those comments, can't be arsed to pull up again
mircea_popescu: it's not like the "open source communities" have much of
a notion of identity anyway
mircea_popescu: sorry about the paste, i'd like to reference like
a civilised person, but gnu isn't quite there yet. perhaps in another century or two.
davout: yeah, the issue is that some will *require*
a fucking dollar sign, other ones will *prohibit* it
mircea_popescu: now let's do
a practical exercise : produce
a google query which results in the source of drepper's sha512
davout: also "echo -n" will not append
a newline at the end of the string to be hashed, which might be best, otherwise you could end up in
a world of wtf trying to reproduce it with some other setup
mircea_popescu: that last 2 letter combo recurs 4 times! considering it's base64, odds should be 1/4096 which makes 4 occurences in 177
a little rich.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the iranians arrested
a bunch of us sailors, got the ciphers etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform basically, the rhodesia of rhodesia was just the first in
a string of rhodesiaings.
mircea_popescu: france was very briefly
a northern european country, against its will, under de gaulle. it really wants to go join the southern states where it belongs.
mircea_popescu: anyway, looks like if they manage 10% it'll be
a great victory.
BingoBoingo: !~later tell pete_dushenski I am merely trained as
a librarian so I only library my own library and thus little weird finds its way into books I lend
mircea_popescu: even as
a general principle, having
a bot restrain
a lord is to be limited to very well justified cases.
shinohai hopes being
a camho lord doesn't require castration or somesuch.
danielpbarron: could add
a new channel to the trilema network of channels
danielpbarron: there are irc apps as well as
a public log you can read in any web browser
shinohai: "We're sorry, Snapchat has not detected
a camera on your device and will now exit"
mircea_popescu: course there's
a bunch of dudes chasing that same buck, but they're mostly dorks.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's definitely
a living in... well, pimping the girls, i suppose. most cam talent is utterly incapable of about half the stuff it has to do and entirely unmotivated to do the rest. if you do for them what shop management does for mcdonalds ewelets
a la
http://trilema.com/2013/compliance/ you can in principle increase their income 10 to 100 and eat half to two thirds of that.
shinohai: What's my end if I turn you into
a successful findom queen? I mean, that's quite
a lucrative gig I'd just be turning over ....
shinohai: twitter is
a very, very useful hunting ground if you collect .... slaves indiancandy
indiancandy: unless your usuing it to promote
a product
mircea_popescu: postmodern age === age of insanity. average individual is incapable of either forming or maintaining relationships much like
a decerebrated pigeon is incapable of building
a nest.
shinohai: I'd really like to have
a few nice girls for more long-term profitable relationships. I hate the one-off emails.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that;s the lulziest part of it all, that somehow "nobody knows" just how naked the emperor is. meanwhile i have better connectivity than obama, and i mean that literally. and from
a security perspective foremost.
mircea_popescu: if you shot
a guy they'd put you away, in ~the same conditions, for free. why even hussle, just go shoot
a neighbour and be done.
mircea_popescu: indiancandy wouldn't you be better off if you simply went to every house in london, knocked on door, asked them if they want to move you in the closet and use you sexually for
a coupla grand
a month ?
mircea_popescu: actually at 100 bux or whatever this isn't the worst way to get at people. have woman print dude's pic, take
a shit on it, then keep rickrolling him with the video.
shinohai: had to help her set up
a goddamned printer.
shinohai: One girl I know on xhamster has
a regular that plops down 1000 tokens at
a time for her to print out pics of him and piss on them.
mircea_popescu: shinohai camwhoring altogether is
a pretty abject occupation.
danielpbarron: indiancandy, right click and export cert again, and there should be
a box you can check
shinohai: indiancandy: I'll find
a teamviewer solution if it will make you happy, but may take me
a bit.
shinohai: Usually in Kleopatra, it asks you to save the cert, you give it name as
a .txt file, and can open it in notepad
danielpbarron: when you did whatever you did to open notepad, was there
a checkbox that said something like "ASCII Armor"
shinohai: yeah it looks like
a page full of nonsense
shinohai: once you get
a link to it, simply register it with deedbot thus: !!register <url to paste>
shinohai: not
a good idea to teamviewer for security purposes but ... lemme see here.
shinohai: So to sign/decrypt
a document, you will need to enter pass[hrase to complete.
shinohai: indiancandy: I used this link to help Eulora noobs
a bit ttps://www.deepdotweb.com/2015/02/21/pgp-tutorial-for-windows-kleopatra-gpg4win/
mircea_popescu: in other news pete_dushenski is actually
a pretty clever auctioneer, once he overcomes not having done homewerks through listening to the market chatter.
