danielpbarron: i didn't have
time
to explain. he
triggered quickly
Mocky: i was into
tor, dark markets. now cured
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 23:36 danielpbarron: i once
triggered a guy
to
the point of
thinking he might have his first fist fight, over anti-ssl,
till his friend dragged him away
mircea_popescu: but your objection
to "just hammer
the damned
thing off
the board" was "won't be able
to power up, controls
the 3v line". and now you found bypass ?
mircea_popescu: wait, wait. did you get
the power or didn't you ? what are we
talking about here ?
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 19:52 asciilifeform:
thus far i know how
to cut power
to it, and
this suffices for my purpose
BingoBoingo: The
trash mining sector of
the economy here is probably
the
third largest behind
Tourism and Agriculture depending on
the order
those
two sort
themselves into.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 19:37 asciilifeform: personally, i'd consider a box with no
trackpad function,
to be usable
BingoBoingo: The structures
that become part of your reality in
the bananastan
too cold for growing bananas
BingoBoingo: Seriously 1. People who make lots of
trash 2. people who make some
trash 3. People who collect
trash with donkey carts 4. People who collect
trash with
trash bags 5. People who sleep in
trash
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 19:33 |\n: any other devices with
the extra similar one (even with brushed label)?
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 19:33 |\n: any intel on supply chain of
this stone? had
to ask
mircea_popescu: waste is
the most important signal of social hierarchy.
that's what it's fucking for.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 19:29 asciilifeform: swiftgeek: out of curiosity, what's your interest in
this particular box ?
danielpbarron: they placed me next
to
the celebritarian muslim guy. idk if coincidence, but i'm glad --
the guy will be serving food, and food vendors attract all
the foot
traffic
danielpbarron: i'm working on an article
that suggests otherwise, porcfest is
too small a
thing
to go
to such existential lengths
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, should be a pretty decent heuristic indicator for you. one of
the
two
things you're in is going somewhere, according
to
the beast.
danielpbarron: they have some app exibitors can use
to promote where
they'll be and what
they are serving (i reserved a vendor campsite specifically for
the purpose of provoking conversation about
the Bible) -- i also mention in my "profile"
that i'm a lord in
the most serene republic of Bitcoin, which mysteriously gets removed. I add it again, removed again.
They apparently don't mind a religious "cult" but not
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you
took nothing. start ~ACTUALLY~
taking. heads on pikes.

the point is
to
take some lessons from
that 1 unit
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1822648 << can you step back from your own insanity, and look at how
they fucked your head ? really, you're going
to go
through your entire life "taking lessons", ie not doing anything, because
that's what
they made you do it at
the child abuse camp
they call college ? and
then what, you'll be 80 and dying on a borrowed mattress, and... what ? you'll have had all
these lessons you "took" ? wh
☝︎ danielpbarron: what i expected has come
to fruition, nobody who would attend such an event can afford
to buy bitcoin anymore
mircea_popescu: well,
they're
the kids with no clue or skill, hoping
to eat off
the usg's printouts. what's
to expect.
danielpbarron: as in, anything else, just not bitcoin,
that
thing i
told
them years ago
they shouldn't be spending on hotdogs and coffee
danielpbarron: speaking of
the buring geek, bitcoin is (i suspect) a banned word/topic
mircea_popescu:
http is a ~stateless~ protocol. you need state, do something else. no,
there may not be such a
thing as a "website login", not anymore
than
there can be a planesubmarine.
mircea_popescu: really, replace it with nothing. ssl is a braindead answer
to a malformed question nobody asked.
danielpbarron: and he flipped out, started accusing me of working with
the enemy, got all shaky and had
to be literally dragged away
danielpbarron: guy says "and replace it with what??"
to which I said "idk, libreSSL, but i'm not really a fan of ssl in general"
mircea_popescu: we're not here
to
try and convince mommy
that we're cool kids. we're here
to fuck her in
the ass until it prolapses, and leave her chained
to a pole in
the park where all
the used needles are.
danielpbarron: i was wearing my openbsd shirt
that read "Keep calm and abandon OpenSSL"
oda: I enjoy following nerd drama but I
try
to stay out of arguments. Only one in recent memory was a bunch of people calling me an idiot for swapping on zram (which I kind of have
to do on my shitty netbook)
danielpbarron: i once
triggered a guy
to
the point of
thinking he might have his first fist fight, over anti-ssl,
till his friend dragged him away
☟︎ mircea_popescu: different from, say, comp.lang.lisp archive in
that a)
their chosen kid wasn't naggum and b)
they actually had gathered around properly, as opposed
to
the idiots on bbs, captive in
their self-important notions of independence and other man-alone-isms.
mircea_popescu: tl;dr : cat-v was a bunch of dorks collected around a chosen kid,
trying
to do
things. chosen kid died and
they
turned
to scar
tissue.
oda: not
that
there's anything wrong with
that. just
that my convictions regarding software choices are a bit more moderate
mircea_popescu: in fact,
there was a collision at some point, where was it...
oda: jej, so
this is a cat-v
type crowd?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well Google probably didn't exact anyone
to care
to look
mircea_popescu: not
to mention
the whole pile of shit
that's cloudflare.
mircea_popescu: we don't generally support
the idiocy known as
https, so merely you not serving
http may put you outside of
the web.
oda: mircea_popescu: I got it working with
the paste site in
the deedbot help site. Also
that
tiuxo site is my site. Cloudflare filtering might have denied deedbot, I filter out China / Russia / Korea and a few useragent strings I was getting a lot of weird
traffic from
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 19:14 |\n: even if something is not clear - hardware is full of shit, supplying any
trust
towards vendors is as stupid as saying
that someone might now have some private keys from whatever, being it an IT or automotive industry (pick any), i believe
that is why some papers on standards
that might shed light on ways of how proprietary
things (that belong
to owners) work
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 19:05 |\n: apart from
things unspeakable on freenode i love
to bring up
tor relays and i got a job as an admin of shitty place
mircea_popescu: oda,
try putting it in p.bvulpes.com ;
that
tiuxo site uses some ssh bullshit / isn't on
the web.

trinque: one might, say, introduce himself, like even my cat does when he walks into
the room
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 18:37 apt-get:
the reason I keep using
this nick is because it's quite handy
to have personal info drowned out in a sea of noise when someone
tries
to look it up
mircea_popescu: as
the whole bee-dog has been a
thing for all
these many years.
