shinohai: I guess I should an hero because I believe scarcity in blocks is good.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I don't get those, but also rarely visit twatter anymoar
shinohai: BingoBoingo: I probably get 4-5 nasty DM's a day on twitter calling me the same thing xD
shinohai: Actually I can d/l now while having tea
shinohai: Sounds good to me, is that tar.gz mentioned in link still available? I will pull it down when I get back from town this afternoon.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 19:40 mircea_popescu: also - if anyone feels like undertaking maintenance for this, on like a V tree and everything, i wouldn't be at all against.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-03#1496215 << incidentally shinohai i dunno if you're looking to go into the coding side of things, but if so this may be just the thing for you ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-04#1496683 << i'm not even sure that's true, ftr. php is actually a fine language FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. hypertext preprocessor ffs! it's not even a language, as such! just a preprocessor, like an early scripting language. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 02:07 mircea_popescu: phf there's two main points of the split between mp-wp and automattic-wp. one is that i shot the akismet idiocy in the head (mp-wp antispam system works way the fuck better, and doesn't you know, run arbitrary code from the automattic equivalent of disqus, shambling abominable horror of untold proportions).
thestringpuller: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-03#1495490 << I'm trying to blog everyday. It's hard, I'm not a writer by trade, although people keep cheering me on, so for the readers out there thanks for that. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: possibly higher snr tho, i guess.
mircea_popescu: and i think i was a lot more verbose back then, too.
mircea_popescu: i was thinking
asciilifeform: pretty sure i got all the engl
asciilifeform: i have nfi.
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-04#1496689 <<< I liek BingoBoingo ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i got a thing from the realtor with bigger, thicker house, in what looks like perfect condition, for ~half the price of the ruin. picture in what kind of kandahar it must be
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aaaalmost. tomorrow when i wake.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how you imagine making a monkey out of the reader's acceptable or anything.
mircea_popescu: because gravatar thing is utter bullshit also. but i'm not terribly convinced this scheme's so great either.
mircea_popescu: phf there's two main points of the split between mp-wp and automattic-wp. one is that i shot the akismet idiocy in the head (mp-wp antispam system works way the fuck better, and doesn't you know, run arbitrary code from the automattic equivalent of disqus, shambling abominable horror of untold proportions). ☟︎
phf: in fact i could send it to spam, and then approve and it appears where it's supposed to be
asciilifeform: i have an eternal spam.
phf: i marked it as spam
phf: ok i see it
phf: i'm hacking on PHP with VIM, i feel so deliciously white trash
phf: i'm fixing some warnings
asciilifeform: and i cannot zero it
mircea_popescu: anyway, fi on trilema just now, i had to approve that Anonimescu;s fellow first comment ; as he never was seen before. his subsequent ones, i didn't need to touch.
asciilifeform: if i wanted massive 7yo pile of hand-tuned shit, i would just copy old site
asciilifeform: and is precisely what i was trying to avoid
asciilifeform: none of which i am equipped to actually understand.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno ; seems to me like a theme issue. this isn't phf's theme, actually, is it ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno man, your blog :D
asciilifeform: i'ma delete whole thhing prolly
mircea_popescu: then hm. i only see my test comment myslef
phf: asciilifeform: i also made a patch, but sounds like you don't need it anymore http://107.170.141.103/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/wp-comments.diff ☟︎
asciilifeform: or huh i see it in spam queue.
mircea_popescu: i still can't send you a comment fwiw.
asciilifeform: what i said
mircea_popescu: oh no, i mean. should be :
phf: mircea_popescu: i think that's just some default setting
mircea_popescu: i wanna see the blog that gets more.
asciilifeform: i found the barfatron:
asciilifeform: so i can't actually use virginal themes ??
mircea_popescu: tsk, i think you';re right phf!
phf: mircea_popescu: i think the anti-spam instructions are missing bit for comment_post_time
asciilifeform: i get 0 anything
asciilifeform: that i got from phf.
asciilifeform: i HAVE a theme
asciilifeform: i still get a 0 byte page when commenting.
asciilifeform: holy shit, i have to manually massage every theme?!
asciilifeform: i don't even HAVE a comments.php
asciilifeform: well i get a blank page when commenting.
asciilifeform: i dun get it, do i need the rewrites? and if so, which? what does 'RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .t-1813 [OR]' ~do~ ?
mircea_popescu: phf 2008 vintage i'm pretty certain.
mircea_popescu: next time that guy comes in that was trying to fix qntra, i guess we get him to make you a special wp 2.7 theme to spec ?
asciilifeform: i want the default theme like i want to hand-html.
mircea_popescu: ahhh i know what it is.
phf: fwiw i only created uploads, and it made the structure on its own, after i fixed permissions
asciilifeform: i created the dir
asciilifeform: (all failures will be silent, considering that i had to destroy the error printer)
asciilifeform: i created the default, but all uploads silently fail
phf: i'm looking for those massive impressions
phf: asciilifeform: i linked it for you
asciilifeform: i don't even HAVE a wp-content
phf: well, so far i have everything as rw r r, but i suspect to edit theme you'll need to either chown to apache's user, or chown to group and add rw rw r
asciilifeform: but because the LAST time i did this, i had ~0 standards and didn't give a fuck
asciilifeform: phf: i have that one, turns out, on old disk
mircea_popescu: which is why originally you'll get some spam quarantined, but after a while it goes away. i see ~1-2 pieces / week atm.
mircea_popescu: hey, what can i tell you!
mircea_popescu: oh btw, this auto-resizes images. i just upload whatever and it gives me 560xblabla fit for the page.
asciilifeform: i have to massage every single graphic to avoid spilling over
phf: ok, i got it going http://107.170.141.103 (i'll shuffle it elsewhere so don't bookmark it or nothing)
asciilifeform: and apparently now i have to write a motherfucking theme ?!
mircea_popescu: but i have spun up half the php army, so something better come of it.
asciilifeform: if i find out how to vanish the idiot barf, i can think about theme
mircea_popescu: that's what i said @phf. you'll need a theme.
asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu's tarball was complete ?
asciilifeform: i still get the strict_standards bullshit
asciilifeform: because i did it before, years ago, and remembered 0
asciilifeform: THIS is the kind of idiocy i was hoping to avoid.
asciilifeform: i still get barf.
asciilifeform: hah i thought it was in a piano
mircea_popescu: i've been ignoring it ever since accidentally got upgraded.
asciilifeform: grep -i trilema
mircea_popescu: oops i mean, iconophiles.
asciilifeform: i don't consider a project v-able unless it is 100% ascii text.
mircea_popescu: as i said - still some crud that could do with taking out etc.
mircea_popescu: i could keep blockchain a
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a) which and b) why would binary be un-v-able i dun get it ?
mircea_popescu: also - if anyone feels like undertaking maintenance for this, on like a V tree and everything, i wouldn't be at all against. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: let me know if you have trouble standing it up, i'll debug for free!
mircea_popescu: it's just that i see a lot more compartments, separate, than is customary in "the profession"/"the biz".
asciilifeform: i did not come up with any serious objection. but it may yet be the case that this is a chair for giants.
phf: so do i, but we don't send patches to each other. v needs a distribute team to put it through paces, but every time we do, we et lively philosophical conversations as to how it supposed to actually be used
asciilifeform: i will note that, e.g., 'Doom', was under 50,000 lines !
phf: i dunno, nobody's actually using it
asciilifeform: i looked at 'flatpress', and barfed, it is 1000s of lines
mircea_popescu: i dunno... you tell me ?
