mircea_popescu: sure. the only problem is that apparently "pillar of komyooniti" is a disease that kills, whereas "obvious signs of mental illness" is a pretty good predictor of stability.
asciilifeform: to whom tmsr folk are 'extremist crackots' with (direct quote) 'obvious signs of mental illness', and hanno boeck is a pillar of the komyooniti.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/psa-hanno-bock-still-a-deceitful-shitbag << that one
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has a quite spiffy article, iirc, concerning the 'bobbeck' species
mircea_popescu: everyone got blogs anyway, and is now desperate for material to fulfill the "one a day" golden rule, amirite ?
asciilifeform: a list of these crimes would probably not be wholly waste of time
mircea_popescu: it's still unclear what exactly you imagine to achieve through this "i don't expect to live to see a thing" device either.
asciilifeform: it means that i dun expect to live to see a thing.
mircea_popescu: what "every". what is this, a democracy again ?
asciilifeform: wake me up for the public flogging of every arsemunch who ever broken a link.
asciilifeform: systemd gets a good thrashing regularly, but recall flycheck ?
asciilifeform: there are perhaps half a dozen basic instruments.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-04#1514284 << poetteringism does not exist in order to slip in ~one particular~ cockroach, but to maintain a generally fertile soil for vermin 'control the vertical and the horizontal' (tm) (r) ☝︎
mircea_popescu sings "i did it one step at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime... i got the only one there is around"
asciilifeform: shinohai: problem is that there's gotta be a bot relaying link contents, and keeping cross-index, and searchability.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-04 05:10 mircea_popescu: actually. less than 10% of people alive EVER HAD a fb. less than 10% of THOSE touched it in the past year.
mircea_popescu: he "has better things to do". "do those better things buy you a tanker ?" "don't ask so many questions!"
mircea_popescu: PeterL as above. he's a lilly ass murican, not a somali.
mircea_popescu: you're not a preditor and do not wish to become one.
mircea_popescu: also, it's a consumer item. you never drydock it. buy another.
mircea_popescu: not really. most tankers run on tiny crews of a dozenand a half to two dozen
asciilifeform: what's it cost to dry-dock a tanker ?
asciilifeform: and certainly not a 'one bloke operates and repairs with his own two hands for 20 years' machine.
asciilifeform: incidentally tanker is a poor solution for another reason - it is, like that 'business jet', a 'have slaves machine'
mircea_popescu: well, by far the cheapest masquerade of a solution is spending the 45mn or so to buy a junky old tanker and be happy. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: if you imagine you'll have orlov build you a ship out of a well chosen half walnut that'll perform better in "freakish weather" than a tanker you really should move on to apologetics, what can i say!
asciilifeform: (quite a few tanker co. have already begun 'downsizing' by removing individual pistons, even..)
mircea_popescu: just like no squirrel is ever going to make a cpu that'll be cheaper than simply taking a box of pentiums out of radioshack in a post-apocalyptic world.
mircea_popescu: and WILL STAY best deal, for your lifetime, given that no amateur shithead/copywriter is going to come up with a way to MAKE NEW ships that'll come out cheaper than the tail end of the industrial process.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iirc the nutso scientology guy did for a decade or so.
PeterL: For less than a boat you could get an isolated cabin here in MI and be as isolated as you want
asciilifeform: i am interested in the sea as ~strictly~ a place where the dollar buys moar social-isolation bang than elsewhere, and in no other way.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-04 06:05 ben_vulpes: fuck dude go park it off a shipping lane and get weekly oil deliveries if you really burn that much
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-04#1514357 << when ben_vulpes installs a 1500hp diesel in his living room and reports back re how much fun he is having. ☝︎
asciilifeform: millions (even, if one is thrifty, a single million, even of usd) can handily buy the requisite degree of social isolation ON LAND
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-04#1514356 << would someone kindly explain to me WHY i would wish to live on a ship if i had 'millions' ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-08-04 06:04 mircea_popescu: no fucking way he gets a cheaper seaworthy platform.
asciilifeform: to the point that i've never thought of gmane as anything but a polluter of search results.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-04#1514253 << it was eaten by systemd. there is a (last i saw, working) clean fork, 'eudev'. and it looks like phf explains further down in the l0gz. ☝︎☟︎
thestringpuller: The thing that would intrigue me is an updated chart using MP's method from the "lets chronicle the scammer drama" and had a chart for the total loss of the economy due to scams over 2012 charted by month
thestringpuller: So basically Steemit's fate is being turned into a straight up spam machine since it has no soultion in place for the eternal september except "premined votes from ned and dan" and btc bagholders who bought extremely early and can't yet exit. This is the doom I believe Bitcoin would have faced if Roger, Gavin, Hearia, or whatever incarnation of USG programmed hedonist-bot had hijacked the entire system and allowed spam to be cheap. Th
thestringpuller: shinohai: Steem is slowly drying up. Volume and depth evaporated from bittrex, and they've openly admitted now it's designed like a ponzi to bring more people to the scene. But what I imagine actually happens, is a bunch of smart people write bots to go to war with each other. the spam bots and counter spam bots. The spam bots pretty much will just extract revenue from spam like anything else, but in this context it actually works, si
BingoBoingo: 20 seconds of firing a rotary canon is the entire ad
BingoBoingo: Now that he won the GOP nomination for Missouri governor the ads heat up. Trump is totes going to get primaried in 2020 http://qz.com/749606/the-new-gop-nominee-for-missouri-governor-wants-you-to-vote-for-him-because-he-can-shoot-a-massive-gun-into-nothingness/
mircea_popescu: "old enough to have scarlatine immunity ; young enough to not crack a hip if she drops to the floor"
BingoBoingo: No, it coincides with facebook being/not being a college student thing when those demographics passed
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo an ark large enough to build a house in it! with a pool!
mircea_popescu: apparently there's a silent epidemy killing tens of millions of women in their prime and nobody knew anything about it.
ben_vulpes: yeah well have to build a cpu first or something
ben_vulpes: fuck dude go park it off a shipping lane and get weekly oil deliveries if you really burn that much ☟︎
ben_vulpes: but iono, nato, rockets, enforcement, he'll come up with a reason why it'd never work.
mircea_popescu: no fucking way he gets a cheaper seaworthy platform. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: down from 100k a year ago?
ben_vulpes: i briefly looked into buying a giant waterproof sack and sticking it into a TEU for int'l wine shipping.
ben_vulpes: no although i did have to lay about with the cane one time when someone brought me a bottle of refrigerated red.
ben_vulpes: "dude, it's not a cooler. the wine was already cold. it's an /insulator/."
ben_vulpes: this a bottle that'd been sitting in the fridge all week.
mircea_popescu: crazy american, has more cleannign girls than mating girls on the premises. as a result... wine suffers.
ben_vulpes: heh and further lolz of the wine insulator, i once asked one of the staff to bring a bottle up in it
ben_vulpes: but the male-gendered bowel movements don't have a scrap of dole to redistribute.
mircea_popescu: fucking retards, huddling around "universities" long gutted, hoping to catch a dribblet of dole off some business major's penis.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he should go on a tandem bike with those tandem pants...
mircea_popescu: snowden in 2012 ? twenty years late, a single guy ?
mircea_popescu: "there's no further need for a usg computing arm. here's the entire archive of everything. we're moving on."
a111: Logged on 2016-07-20 15:44 asciilifeform: why not 'die in a fire, scum'
mircea_popescu: "we just want the world to be a better place somehow vaguely and ''technologically'' which is just doublespoken easily, and to be nice to each other".
phf: thing is gmane is not really for reading, it's a permanent archive of a handful useful technical emails, sort of what google was supposed to be for usenet, before they pulled the plug
mircea_popescu: could be a pretty decent qntra :D
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, anyone saw travolta's outrageous incarnation of a bill clinton idealized above and beyond anything brejnev ever got ?
phf: oh, and he's giving up domain to anyone willing to "set up a new web based service" "all previous permalink.gmane.org (etc.) links continue to work as before, but they’ll look new and spiffy in your new and spiffy web interface" bunch of anons in the comments going "yeah, i'm kind of sort of interested plx send money to this btc address^W^W^W^W^Wdomain"
deedbot: [» Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski] “At least the US government is not overtly confiscating the assets of the general population at this very moment.” - http://www.contravex.com/2016/08/03/at-least-the-us-government-is-not-overtly-confiscating-the-assets-of-the-general-population-at-this-very-moment/
mircea_popescu: "I need your assistance if you can. I accidentally sent a message to the [redacted] email list last night with a live password in it. The password is hardcoded in to dozens of machines, so changing it would be… inconvenient, to say the least. I don’t yet see the message on your archive page, so I can’t provide the URL link, but I wanted to see if you could remove the message before it is processed and posted."
phf: ben_vulpes: i was going to link relevant mail message, but udev has been merged into systemd a while ago. gentoo has a fork, called eudev. udev also prompted one of the linus' famous rants, https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/3/484
BingoBoingo: At a time it had users, could do recon by scoping out a persons facebook page. Now... none of the kids have them anymore.
mircea_popescu: actually. less than 10% of people alive EVER HAD a fb. less than 10% of THOSE touched it in the past year. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: guess what ? less than 10% of people alive actually have a fb.
mircea_popescu: actually i'm doing a large-ish project whereby various bullshit "countries" leak their civil records (ie, names, ssi, taxids, address etc) of their whole population ; which then gets searched in fb db.
ben_vulpes: either that or a totally staid gay lawyer
BingoBoingo: Oh, a commentor! http://qntra.net/2016/08/black-lives-matter-releases-segregationist-demands/#comment-66023
ben_vulpes: http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/globalguerrillas/2016/08/fixing-america-make-a-political-party-out-of-software.html << john robb with the lolz
mircea_popescu: what the fuck does that mean, he failed to http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-03#1513857 ? that doesn't make him a "good person", that makes him a fucking shitstain. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: lol "he is a very good person"
shinohai: https://steemit.com/bitfinex/@btcto100k/bitfinex-ceo-on-the-run "He is a very good person and had nothing to do with the hack"
ben_vulpes: operate as a triple-bottom-line corp, strive to lose money, and sell stock on an ongoing basis to 'ethical investors'
ben_vulpes: fuck software, it's time for a new scam.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: yes, but which? 'slack' is a corporate aol-like chat
BingoBoingo: Deviant IRC a-like but not really
Nordic: Also very entertained :D .. today has been a funny day.
mircea_popescu: i thought he was raising a kid
mircea_popescu: do a /</&lt;/ shoulod be ok
phf: ben_vulpes: your non raw version does not escape html, so it parses #include <header> as a tag
asciilifeform: an rng firing blanks and leading rsa key gen to spit out the square of a prime immediately following a power of two, is simply one way to arrive at such.
mircea_popescu: it's just "bruteforce from a conveniently chosen spot", mostly.
asciilifeform: fromphuctor: in case you didn't know - fermat's method is not an effective way to attack a properly-generated rsa modulus
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, takes a non-idiot half an hour to fish them out.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/common-scenarios/ "Although you can't get a list of all the fans of a Facebook Page, you can find out whether a specific person has liked a Page."
asciilifeform: this kind of thing really begs for a cpu arch optimized for bignummery
mircea_popescu: obviously a lot of the cpu is not really used to do bignum mults. a smaller lot of the gpu isn't.
fromphuctor: thanks again guys, I learned a lot in 10 mins :)
asciilifeform: nor would such a thing necessarily work especially well.
