mircea_popescu: ok, but the one missing item is the eta.
lobbes: And really, I misspoke. Not completely $unrelated_item because I am going to use said item to also build the new #eulora logotron off of (existing logotron is fed from ZNC, which I'd like to remove from the equation entirely)
a111: Logged on 2018-08-25 03:09 lobbes: in fact, was going to announce: I'm getting closer to finishing what will be a genesis for a 'logbot-command-router' in python that does the talking and listening with postgres (an older but relevant thread for context: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-29#1531123)
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-30#1845829 << -not- entire rewrite of auctionbot, but the smaller foundational item it will sit on >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-25#1844391 ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: and they're gonna make such a pile of gin...
Mocky: grats on the tubers lol
mircea_popescu: WOOT! 29mn pop while i was bitching here! thanks god and Mocky 's bot!
mircea_popescu: precisely in the vein of "the usual imperial approach", "get emails!!!!" is on some 3 ring binder at ft meade or something, by how fixated they are.
hanbot: Mocky naturally if/when i figure the shit out i'll make a blogpost
mircea_popescu: because really, who besides usg tryna fuck up irc has any interest in collecting emails to use it ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the odds are getting pretty good the "spammer"'s actually our good friends at http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-26#1844799 ☝︎
Mocky: ve been thinking of setting up bouncer sincy my connection's been so iffy past week
mircea_popescu: hanbot i've yet to meet someone who had to connect to freenode and liked it.
hanbot: and by "getting the thing to connect to irc" above i ofc mean to connect to freenode. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-08-14 20:30 mircea_popescu: breifly back to phf 's discussion of r+ thing : i confess i mostly did it to encourage the "spammer" to put registration in. sadly... went instead the way of http://logs.minigame.biz/2018-08-13.log.html#t22:59:16
mircea_popescu: wut do ? wut do ? http://trilema.com/2017/the-practical-costs-of-hallucinated-freedom/ ; specifically : for as long as every moron thinks he can make his own decisions, ugs's the necessary end result.
mircea_popescu: because this is what the shit even exists FOR ; getting everyone to be a moron, only some with a positive and some with a negative inca outline is perfectly fine "getting everyone to be a moron" outcome, as far as inca's concerned.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-27 23:46 mircea_popescu: ethereum being "smart", it's not just mempool, but also cpupool. and the "soft fork" being essentially a "enumerate badness" attempt, you still gotta check and make sure tx isn't on the verboten list. which computation you do for free, because you believe in mit, socialism and buterin.
mircea_popescu: #1841508 because "that's hard" right, and instead fucking about with unicode to destroy the usual imperial http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-27#1491698 approach. ☝︎

hanbot: meh. installing znc on piz's shared box was a breeze, but actually getting the thing to connect to irc turns out to be a royal pain in the ass.
mircea_popescu: this is a terrible arrangmeent, recall the onset of the (meanwhile, botched) pizarro wire/auction was a month ago, and waited for the same thing ?
ben_vulpes: i remain available and actively supporting mod6 and BingoBoingo when they need something from me on the pizarro front
ben_vulpes: tenative schedule is to have current domus released by end of october and new digs established ~same time. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: days are mostly wake -> grind out food credits -> grind out more holes in ground -> sink posts -> fabricate and erect cladding -> sleep, with the occasional beer
ben_vulpes: new destination, clean + lease the illiquid asset, and then set up shop in the new area
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the inane shit occupying my time instead of republican efforts is embarrassingly trivial, but since you ask: i'm moving to texas, and so now must wrap fence that was supposed to be a two-season relaxed affair by mid september; throw out a decade+ of crap that i shouldn't have been so lax as to let stick around in the first place, pack my whole existence into transpocubes, get it moved to the ☟︎

lobbes: Summary of the above threads: Edis vps finally got back to me after ~16hrs downtime with lame excuse of "we had some issues we never communicated. We identified the issue tho. Sry for inconvenience". I said "fuck em'" and will be moving logs to pizarro once done with current $unrelated-item
a111: Logged on 2018-08-28 00:57 lobbes: my vps on edis which housed my old znc has been mysteriously unreachable for 12 hours. Of course, cannot easily get in contact with them
lobbes: The reason I am migrating, is contained in this thread >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-28#1845073 ☝︎
lobbes: I am close (hopefully by end of this weekend) to finishing the genesis for the 'logbot-command-router' (see also #t log) After which I will be migrating the #eulora logotron residing on heathen Edis vps to Pizarro shared hosting
a111: Logged on 2018-08-30 13:09 mircea_popescu: get back to me, will ye ? what happened here ?

a111: Logged on 2018-08-29 17:52 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845577 << usg.mortgage is a device for separating salaried zeks (engineers, law, etc) from their 'excess' fat. not for millenial pauper to borrow against... what, exactly. (maybe organs?)
mircea_popescu: the overarching point being that neither #trilema nor tmsr is a sort of dilbert-larping-zone, here for the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845588 "salaried zek" element to gather after hours, smoke, and predictably if circularly discuss how-stupid-everyone-but-us-is. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: if i end up negrating you because i have nfi what you're doing, it's not strictly "mp is a meanie head" ; it can very well also be "i'm fucking terrible at communicating my position, end up run over by heavy machinery".
mircea_popescu: an' finally, to be explicit rather than implicit : dear mats, while it's perfectly fine to be working with whichever lord you prefer to be working, if you don't enjoy working with me, but the place for that is in the respective castle. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: what are you working on, these days ? why do i have to ask this ? etc.

a111: Logged on 2018-07-02 18:05 ben_vulpes: lords and ladies, june pizarro statement will be late; my wife is experiencing an all-consuming major depression that will take all of my attention going forward. i am working with mod6 and asciilifeform to ensure continuity at pizarro.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of this, let's try an' resync with ben_vulpes also. after http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831355 and http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-25#1837688 haven't heard much. is this different from "i've found myself obscure rural church, much better republic for my needs than the genuine article" and if so, how ? ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: does it load the log for today or the log for the 27th ?
mircea_popescu: get back to me, will ye ? what happened here ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-08-22 22:45 lobbes: psa: looks like my box that houses the archive-o-matic went offline on Friday. It back up and eating through backlog; www should update sometime in the next ~ 2 hours >> http://lobbesblog.com/queryarchive/view_domains.php

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> what did the chix do to BingoBoingo !... when i saw him, was pure muscle, like wolf << Remember the Cheese Fascination that hit you here. Well, when I got fridge+kitchen curosity at the grocery store got the best of me. It turns out there are many different kinds of Dulce de Leche (the cremoso is bullshit)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Aite, I'll add beach running to the routine.
mod6: np at all, totally understand.
asciilifeform: mod6: i'm on a travel box atm so i dun see things in entirely realtime, apologies for the wait
mod6: asciilifeform: plz to take a look at hanbot's question in #p
asciilifeform: what did the chix do to BingoBoingo !... when i saw him, was pure muscle, like wolf
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo re " She also tries to get me to give running a try" << it is a shameful state for an adult male to not be able to outrun&overtake ~any female of sexual interest age.
mircea_popescu: "Once the shockwave passes over you, you need to find shelter immediately and stay sheltered under as much concrete and steel as possible for 48 hours—this is critical" << this is terrible advice lol. metal cover for shelter more dangerous than the explosion itself. Bremsstrahlung ftw.
mircea_popescu: i like the "If you see someone wearing a motorcycle helmet have an accident, DO NOT pull their helmet off for any reason. By all means, loosen the chin strap, but leave the helmet on and let the paramedics or doctors deal with it. You don’t know what that helmet is holding together"
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how i thought scrub is a daytime tv drama franchise, wtf, it's a shop now too ?! here's what "see also" imgur recommends for me : https://imgur.com/gallery/z1TSZ6D
mircea_popescu just watched "the ice storm", is slightly pissy nobody in there made cristina ricci take off her top.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-29 20:40 Mocky: and then on the way home traffic jam due to moped rider who not only unable to maintain 30 in a 45, but also (as seen when I finally passed him) had mirrors *taped* on, and not even with duck tape but with medical tape
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845760 << good thing you and the other dads got together, pooled your house mortgages or w/e, and lent him 100k to go to college. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Busses and people parking on side streets are the major causes of traffic congestion here to the extent it exists
BingoBoingo: Mocky: But yes lots of low power two wheel motor vehicles here, but they tend to go just as fast as everyone else. Most people with cars drive Uber to offset the cost, most with motocicletas do food deliveries
mircea_popescu: yes "stalin industrialized" ; but much like "napoleon reformed", he didn't follow upon an empty lot. lotta mazarin work for the king went into the preparatory phase.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 19:29 mircea_popescu: that "trademark" is now owned by unilever, as you might've guessed, and it's used to sell items in qatar, as you might've also guessed. the point being that the poor rich arabs are trying to salvage whatever's left of the tsar's pile of salvaged material, today.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-29 18:39 asciilifeform: and yes pressure from su was the thing holding the insanity of fdr.usg into some semblance of sense.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845690 and to continue http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713741 : the russian economy was actually just about larger than that of france and england COMBINED in the first portion of the 19th century. ☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: Mocky: We don't really have traffic here
Mocky: makes me wonder if bingoboingostan is like this
Mocky: and then on the way home traffic jam due to moped rider who not only unable to maintain 30 in a 45, but also (as seen when I finally passed him) had mirrors *taped* on, and not even with duck tape but with medical tape ☟︎
Mocky: tiny blue 'my little pony' car pulled into the spot next to me, damn these things are small. I've seen before, i suppose many times but this one even had a gnome hop out and scurry off to the market.
mircea_popescu: (mostly because what's known (because marketed, duh) as "swarovski" today was bohemian crystal back in the days of my childhood, when 5-10lb fruit bowls of the stuff were commonly gifted ; but before that... it was strass
mircea_popescu: fun fact : strass is how you say "cheap fake", even today, even in romanian.
mircea_popescu: even when applied to something as campbell-soup-can as strasser's nonsense.
mircea_popescu: but consider the german of https://8ch.net/fascist/res/185.html#185 "I feel like my German translation is shit today. It's been a year since I've been in Europe and approaching six months plus of no classes"
mats: thats true
BingoBoingo: Eh, if you go to live anywhere a new language is spoken your accent can outrun acquiring finess in the language.
mircea_popescu would count girl born in china chinese, if she lived there, sure.
mats: well, chinese church, and their accent was very good
BingoBoingo: Hard to tell if that's a very complete Chinese language though.
mats: i've met people like that, e.g. kids of missionaries, their chinese skills were well regarded at my church
mats: i thought the aboriginals was funny s'all
asciilifeform: not speaking of nulands, but of folx who grew up in cn, side by side with the aboriginals
asciilifeform: maybe the pill , is , daughters of euro folk working in cn
mircea_popescu: but anyway, in my case problem greatly compounded by failure to find sexually interesting chinese girl.
asciilifeform: interestingly, jp -- tho saddled with same nonsense -- started work on phasing out hieroglyphs. the run is that they started in , what, 700 a.d., and still not finished
mircea_popescu: i suspect i might be too stupid to appreciate chinese "lang".
asciilifeform: as i gather, they treat the anglos similarly to how tmsr -- take anyffing not bolted down, but do not hurry to give back.
asciilifeform: ( and, also recall, they ran uncle al's eotvos experiment... )
asciilifeform: it prolly aint lang barrier -- recall, they saw phuctor and translated, correctly, and even avoided swallowing boeck etc
mircea_popescu: yet somehow can't find a SINGLE chick smart enough to figure out gpg.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in the fanfic/fake news, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2989404/Child-snatchers-abducting-200-000-boys-girls-openly-selling-online-10-000-kidnapping-epidemic-destroying-families-China.html
mircea_popescu: hmm, fuck me, i'm wrong. they only make about 17mn or so a year, both genders. for some reason i tought moar like 25.
asciilifeform: for all i know, they managed to birth only 100k for all 3.
mircea_popescu: sadly fits in the box of "managed to produce >10mn hussies 16 years ago, none of which are sharp enough to pick up easy money here"
asciilifeform: possibly consists of >1 cuttable entities , that would fit, but i do not know what they are yet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which is why i have fundamental ??? re cn, it dun fit in any box i can think of to date
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this much is troo
BingoBoingo: Hey, USG.petrol is still very expensive compared to tropical VZLA.Maduro petrol
