☟︎ mircea_popescu: not only does it mirror how we learned programming as kids (i did circles in
a for loop in basic, obtained
a nice worm guy!) but it gives an immediacy to lisping absent ANYWHERE else.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: actually i would propose it's
a very fine way if not the best way to learn lisp.
mircea_popescu: do yourself
a favour learn how to use gimp.scheme ; you will never look at graphics with the same eyes again.
Framedragger: wait i'm checking. there's
a chinese root authority there... maybe package name denoted something else... still, who in their right mind?...
Framedragger: i'm actually pissed, which just means that i was too optimistic about ubuntu. *i was installing
a simple image editor*
mircea_popescu: the third most commonly seen ssh protocol is
a misspelling of the most common one pushed out by mistake years ago!
mircea_popescu: what fucking foss. there is no foss. microsoft is the natural structure of ustards and everyone taking after them ; which is to see in
a hurry to see results and in no particular mood to examine the quality thereof.
mircea_popescu: irl, there's ssh 2.0 and ssh 2. 0 ; and ~one implementation, by
a known-bad team.
mircea_popescu: this is
a fucking issue ffs. if the world worked like FOSS ~pretends it worked~ then we'd have LIKE HALF
A DOZEN ssh protocol definitions ; which'd still interoperate ; and from hundreds to just one implementations of each of those. by distinct people in distinct teams.
mircea_popescu: so it is somewhat moot. they might as well advertise microsoft powerclip + yahoo briefcase as
a solution, for all the difference it'd make.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah, good point. well the hosting provider is ~shitty and quality of bw offered is not great (OVH), but it *does* make
a more-or-less successful attempt at providing an actual full duplex 100 mbps, which isn't
a lot, but still decent to my liking. so at least there's that.
mircea_popescu: there's
a lesson in this, where being
a jwz dun pay. gotta pick sides, loud and clear.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger not so much
a matter of the webserver itself, the load on that is minimal for large file transfers ; but from experience most hosters offer 1Mbps to 1MBps links unless actually specified. and this is outide of any "intelligent" throttling at the router interface etc.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: thanks. in point of fact
a blog is now in actual plans, not only oneday-maybewaybe. :) re. capacity to handle, at least the connection is unmetered, and it's just static nginx. but it's not anything big. so this is useful and appreciated.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's an iffy thing from my pov, because on one hand you know, you did it i should link it ; but on the other i dunno how many people'd click and how well you're set-up for it. anyway if you'd like
a blog linked or something do say.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 18:44 mircea_popescu: the sad fact of the matter is that the brain is not
a reasoning engine. in
a very purely naturalistic, bio-logical way, this is sensible. the practice of "talk to the text, not context or subtext" has become established through moo practice
pete_dushenski: and it's this coming sunday ? or
a future sunday ? time and timezone would also be helpful, unless that's for me to set.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this will be
a pretty big one, as far as these go. i imagine it'd soak up 1-2 hrs of your time.
mircea_popescu: i can link you to the proceedings of
a coupla past ones if you wanna see
mircea_popescu: people in gaming always go "oh, it's always possible" and then point to the death of lord british as
a definitive example.
mircea_popescu: i'm basically following around
a swarm of angry mobs cutting up
a different swarm of angry mobs.
mircea_popescu: phf dude you gotta try the caster. it's the night of reason, so i got summon skeletons; summon skeleton archers and summo nzombies on the main + summon zombies and summon floating sword ON THE PET. that's like 40 different things ; and
a sort of chain lightning that goes through walls. (summons also work through walls).
phf: i think it was
a trapper vanquisher
mircea_popescu:
a right. so basically there's no reasonable expectation
mircea_popescu: there's something i don't understand. if 3 mods pop at the same time like this, shouldn't it be because they shared
a factor ?
mircea_popescu: dude ubuntu is such
a shitshow... gnomep-anel eating 35% of cpu wtf.
shinohai: Dear lord, if I find
a bug, I certainly don't want to report it, I want to hide it away for future use, if any!
shinohai: Use Cases: "Willy was creating
a logo for his soccer club in Inkscape when it crashed. Being the family's Ubuntu expert, he feels
a responsibility to help improve the system. He's reported one or two bugs in Launchpad before, though it wasn't
a particularly enjoyable experience. "
mircea_popescu: ah alf, remember the happy days
a few years ago when we actually thought gpg ~= pgp ?
mircea_popescu: this is not directly obvious from
a theoretical view.
a major reason why defensive business management and practical engineering pay off is that you get to catch this sort of thing and fix it.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: from peterl in contravex comments : "I could be wrong (have not ordered one yet myself), but isn't the cardano
a sub-piece of the FUCKGOATS? So they are delivering
a bigger, more complex, more useful item (but later) than what they originally planned to sell?" i must say i missed this difference b/w fuckgoats and cardano as well. i guess i'd assumed that the latter'd been renamed to the former
phf: heh, just noticed that my glyf.org is in the banners list, with
a rather embarrassingly verbose banner
mod6: where it does get
a bit hairy is when you're going down the freeway with over 6+"
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: it'll be gone in
a week
mircea_popescu: in other news my god grep -i is
a lot slower than grep plain
Framedragger: ("mkj" is
a pretty random acronym of the first names of three people who started up the server in ~2008)
Framedragger: (
a friend sysadmin and google dude uses mkj.lt, too, but this would be quite amusing)
a111: Logged on 2016-05-20 18:03 Framedragger: "also, anyone want to run
a ssh server key spider ?" << heh, k, i'm up for this, might as well be useful while i brood
a111: Logged on 2016-05-20 17:53 mircea_popescu: also, anyone want to run
a ssh server key spider ?
a111: Logged on 2016-11-20 23:28 Framedragger: the *banners.txt's are my partial cleanup, *_err_scan.log's are the original stderr's (with some junk in them). but i will clean this myself later. and siphnos.mkj.lt is where i'll host phuctor-related data. (it's on
a separate unused vps, got an 'ok' from $work for now.)
Framedragger: fwiw i plan to make these available through
a search interface - will put stuff into db. i think i'll make it so that one can link to particular db entry via that deterministic-alf-fingerprint you concocted
Framedragger: (the criterion for choosing which banner to report is
a simple "max string length.") (again, note, all of those "multiple" banners were from
a single scan event, same date, so no historical knowledge is lost by only reporting single banner per single (ip,port) pair.) hope this makes sense.
phf: fwiw play on mac scripts didn't add anything except for
a dodgy point and click interface that downloads
a bunch of stuff i don't need. game still doesn't play well with native rendering. i suspect tha some specific binary blob version of directx (or precursor?) will solve the issue, but...
phf: oh, blarg. well there's
a range of late 90s laptops on ebay still. i'm not sure if i'm ready to spend time on the whole
phf: nah, just wanted to play mm7 on my mac. if i was building nostalgiatron, i'd just put
a windows 95 on it, tbh. if i don't put an x60 to good use, i might just that to it
mircea_popescu: the car can handle
a little snow just liek the cunt can handle
a little octopus
ben_vulpes: this car was thirty thousand dollars it can handle
a little snow okay
pete_dushenski: time frame
a smidge. my first draft was every bit as correct, if not moreso in regards to the commencement of his influence on markets. trump ain't rollin' in no horse 'n' buggy and no one's waiting to read about his acceptance speech via pony express. it's 2016 dawg and news travels like you wouldn't believe.
mod6: nice day for
a walk down past the canal to the park.
jhvh1: mod6: Error: "tlsb" is not
a valid command.
mod6: they've had hockey down there for quite
a while
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: it was
a time of 'progress'. old traditions had to be downgraded. ex nihilo 'traditions' upgraded.
phf has
a reasonable open rink
a block away
mod6: im sure it has probably
a lot more to do with how they operate the refrigeration system than anything
mod6: i always wanted to moonlight as
a zamboni driver
mod6: but if they do it like now at 0, then give it
a chance to go into the deep cold, you'll end up with reall excellent hard ice.
mod6: nice. i need
a new stick, then I'm ready.
pete_dushenski: thankfully there is
a splendid and ultra-cheap service called 'ama' here and they'll boost even the most frozen cars with what must be 1000amps, up to 5x per year for $80
mod6: when my old man was
a kid, out on the farm he would put hot coals from
a fire under the oil pan in like
a '40 pickup to get the oil viscous enough to crank it over when it was cold like that.
mircea_popescu: hm. i dunno man, cold start in -20 ambient was
a solved problem in the 90s.
pete_dushenski: mod6: and if you don't plug your cars in or park in
a (preferably heated) garage, it's uber-ville for you.
mod6: when it gets that cold for
a number of days or whatever, getting back up to 0 feels nice!
mircea_popescu: he does
a lot of this "name everyone, use half". republican dork on capitol hill also named, s.b.'s aide.\
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i also have
a solid 2" added to height atm. 'manbun'.
pete_dushenski: lol. being chinese is so fucking opposite of being
a jew i don't even know where to start. number 1 selling book in nigeria might as well be "how to raise child like
a norwegian"
mircea_popescu: when i was
a kid my hair was like 5% of my height and i got pix to prove it!
phf: i read somewhere that at some point china top sellers were books like "how to raise
a child like
a jew" etc.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ok but haircuts don't make you shorter. even going bald doesn't shrink
a man, though
a correlation obv exists with advanced age.
pete_dushenski: mats: my younger brother had the priviledge of betting
a chijew on trip to eretz israel. they exist.
mats: being
a chinese jew would be useful i bet
mats: i wish i was born into
a jewish family
mircea_popescu: lol watch that they set it at 8.75 on jan 19th and then spend
a decade shashing monotonously to 4.25
