lobbes: mod6: ty for the reminder. I may as well renew now. plox to invoice for another quarter
mod6: lobbes: As a courtesy, Pizarro would like to let you know that your quarterly rockchip rental is up for renewal after July 31st. Just a heads-up. You can renew now, or on August 1st (or thereabouts).
phf: system. slime/swank doesn't do anything smarter than overriding them with own handlers, so you should be able to manually give yourself as much visibility as slime will give you.
lobbes_sans_znc: Also: need to fix my znc (hopefully 'fix' is simple as: box just restarted and znc did not)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i gather, these folx inhabit a self-complete leprosorium, with 'rational', non-draconic 'explanation' for erry possible misfortune
mircea_popescu: as long as i've not turned out the dole, it'll sit an pretend like it runs the world.
asciilifeform: 'You clearly perceive immutability as Bitcoin's most important aspect, but others feel that decentralisation is the more important quality ... I don't know how you expect to maintain a decentralised system when the only participants are the limited number of fruitcakes running the 0.5.4 client' << gold.
mod6: Turns out that there is a mark-up, as opposed to a discount for yearly.
mircea_popescu: well, so in that sense "will". we agree on things such as "how things should be" or "this is cool" or "this sucks" w/e in the precise manner.
mircea_popescu: the thing with that is, people obviously don't fly about the room doing 100 body lengths a second while catching bugs and jumping right out of inept frog's mouth all cool as shit.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 01:07 asciilifeform: my only disagreement was re the notion that this is necessarily The Right Thing for erry proggy, as some sort of counter to 'rmsism'
mircea_popescu mashed kbd apparently when pressing yes, test.sh got saved as test.sht, system couldn't magically find script anymoar, 5 minute haphazard luls ensued.
mod6: last point here: if UY3 goes into production, I think we'll just buy another machine as insurance.
mod6: So the 0.03542985 includes the price of the physical box, and a charge for rack space. we broke this down into a daily cost, then multiplied it by 19, as we figured this out on the 12th. ☟︎
lobbes: Lol. "While parsing the input measurement string, there isn't a check on the server address (-c). In this manner, any string can be placed as the server address and will be executed via system. Knowing this, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands in the position of the server address."
mircea_popescu: "use the log" doesn't just mean, read here. use it, as the tool it is, in the sense of permit referentiality.
mircea_popescu: as the cattle goes browsing on the pasture, so does the white butterfly go looking for cabages.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider eg that pizarro doesn't need to undertake the (significant, and unbounded) cost of writing "code of conduct" or "terms of service" or any of the other nonsense. things have changed. nude bitcoin is dangerous in the sense discussed in 2012, but bitcoin-as-currency-of-the-republic eminently usable today. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "oh but mp, accurate glyph for lol would have to include sound" "so ?" "so we can't do that" "you can't do any of the other shits you're doing either..." "but a limit must be drawn!" "no, motherfucker. a limit must be drawn alphabet existed already. you're the no limits may be drawn crowd. fucking hang by your own petard, lol is a face emitting sound as glyph!"
mod6: mircea_popescu: I don't see any problem with it as long as it's all paid up and we can you or them directly for it.

a111: Logged on 2018-07-24 09:02 ben_vulpes: i'd dearly like to hear what arguments were so compelling as to turn you from the path of wifebeating, danielpbarron
ben_vulpes: to point at your evolution as a human being over time, for one
ben_vulpes: i'd dearly like to hear what arguments were so compelling as to turn you from the path of wifebeating, danielpbarron ☟︎

mircea_popescu: as mr oover pointed out, http://trilema.com/2017/zuleika-dobson-or-an-proper-love-story/#selection-2881.666-2881.724
asciilifeform: i fughet exactly what. iirc was something so monumentally braindamaged that nobody in his right mind would take seriously even as joke ( had, e.g. decaying coins )
asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://btcinfo.sdf.org/blog/bitcoin-knots-restored-as-the-default-upstream-ebuild.html << shinohai endorses prb...
trinque: the "profile" is a giant wad of optionality about global portage state. I think the right move to make the portage-tree genesis as small as possible is to select *one* thing from the optionality, and then re-introduce options atop that as we see fit (for arm support, for example)
diana_coman is happy but still poking at eulora server on proto-cuntoo as it's almost suspiciously...working!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-23#1837426 << aha, thing uses pre-natoization orthography ( not asciilifeform's doing, it is as i found it , as chronicled in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2211 and in l0gz ) ☝︎
spyked: to pop another arbitrary example: "taie frunza la caini" is directly translated as "cuts leaves to dogs". dunno if this makes any sense to native en speakers, but on the other hand "lazes about" or "is a neet" is immediately understood, especially in context.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-22 16:52 hanbot: ah, okay. i misread as gt test run.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-22#1837147 <-- gah, sorry for the abstruseness. more explicitly: the bot goes through each line in http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ro_eng_expr.txt and if it finds one for which the query is a substr of the entry, it displays the definition. not very effective, it's intended as a very simple (<100 lines of code) demo for next trilemabot patch. but imho there's room for improving it even without adding google ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-07-17 02:42 asciilifeform: 'they cloink a coupla with the sledgehammer so as to break down the find into shards the size they can fit in a pocket, after which they stick it on their oxcart'
asciilifeform: ( plenty of hf antennae in orcistans masquerade as clotheslines )
asciilifeform: generally you dun need anyffing nearly as solid as rebar, unless yer pumping 10s of kW into the thing
asciilifeform: quite interesting, imho, problem , in that virtually errything written since 1910s is ~entirely inapplicable ( as it concerns tuned/narrowband systems )
asciilifeform: 1 interesting aspect is that the 'correctness' of the antenna dun matter nearly so much as it does in conventional 'periodic' radio -- for so long as the 2 ends of the rx-tx have similar ones
asciilifeform: rounding off the uwb thread, for the l0gz : the antennae are the only nontrivial part. given as you do not actually need the sub-nanosecond pulses that are the subj of the 9000 dissertations littering the net, if you dun intend to kowtow to the 'fcc uwb regulatory' crapola.
asciilifeform: of course stratified. just as errybody has 'medic', 'nurse', 'surgeon', 'pharmacist', for various aspects of medical trade, wai not whores
mircea_popescu: exactly as you say : great way to feed a fambly.
mircea_popescu: "BICEP3 consists of a single telescope with the same 2560 detectors (observing at 95 GHz) as the five-telescope Keck array, but a 68 cm aperture [...] began collecting data on 15 May 2016."
asciilifeform: lulzily enuff, found $subj during dig for whether anybody ever built a uwb antenna for hf ( 0-30MHz ). ( spoiler : nobody, publicly, as It Would Be Wrong (tm)(r) per hitler decree )
mircea_popescu: "Second, now theory develops into a FAMILY theories. When one member of the family is killed, the survival members will quickly mutate to accommodate the killing data, such as M-string theory, SUSY, multiverse and the inflation scenarios. That is, the Popperianism is now totally USELESS."
mircea_popescu: the one remaining fundamental (magnetism) is mediated by something so fucking ready to take wave frorm it was in fact discussed as a wave from the get go, and supported the early understanding of the item that later turned out to be a fundamental manifestation of interaction mediators (teh wave).
mircea_popescu: anyway, as to the substantive matter, it's pretty well established by now that gravity, if indeed mediated, is not mediated by something that readily assumes a wave form.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very true. kinda why we;re even here, "helpless as blind kittens" very much a thing in "technical" cucks.
asciilifeform: wouldn't surprise me if it is being passed around, contextless, in heathendom, as 'make a gentoo sans systemd' pill.
asciilifeform: pro tip -- when recapping, use, as i did, 2x the rated voltage of old cap, last longer.
asciilifeform: jurov's thing gets me a 'Signature verification on clearsigned text failed, discarding. Review the message in your sent mail folder for wordwrap or similar mutilations of clearsigned text' despite the fact that i used the www front end ( therealbitcoin.org/mailman/post/btc-dev ) and attached all 3 as attachment
mircea_popescu: moreover, god's own voltmeter revealed that the ~spare~ was as dead as a plain quarter ; whereas the item in the mobo originally was quite rhubarby.
mircea_popescu: and yet... the led light was on... the fans spun... but the video dead as dead can be. it wouldn't initialize the numlock light, even!
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 16:23 asciilifeform: the 'postel's law' nonsense, of silently forgiving people who send liquishit at the dusty disused corners of the protocol, enabling there to even ~be~ such a thing as dusty corners in a protocol!, MUST die.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-22 17:02 asciilifeform: as for 'uwb', they were content to issue ban edicts, and then for good measure to bernsteinize all of the remaining 'experts' they could get to.

a111: Logged on 2017-11-04 15:09 asciilifeform: oh upstack re radios, the 'why not use aperidic wave, and entire spectrum' thing was of course not long ago hannobockized and redhatized by usg shills, as 'uwb (ultrawideband)' and 'regulated' and other rubbish.
hanbot: ah, okay. i misread as gt test run. ☟︎
trinque: freenode is as shitty as ever, not that I'm grabbing that as a catch-all for weird behavior
mircea_popescu: i also don't know how i picked as example THE ONLY EXAMPLE
mircea_popescu: same point as any other www. nothing.
trinque: thing's running daily as expected
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated elaineo 2 at 2017/09/26 04:47:52 << somehow manages to write unirritatingly while also academia. i have yet no theory as to how this is possible.
esthlos: speaking of which asciilifeform : past two weeks have shown that 4 logs a day is unsustainable. my log reading time is not decreasing as I had hoped it would
mircea_popescu: set moron bit on new-soviet exactly as on previous set and moved on.
mircea_popescu: the mistake, as usually when people make large scale mistakes, was in incorrectly handling cunt.
mircea_popescu: if russia went as described, i'd have likely moved there when i was looking around in early 2000s
asciilifeform: ^ he moved there, and still only counts as 'tourist'
spyked: this will serve as demo for trilemabot command handling, as per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-05#1820730 ☝︎
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2018/07/hollywood-pervert-purge-continues-as-pantsuits-enact-gunn-control/ << Qntra - Hollywood Pervert Purge Continues As Pantsuits Enact Gunn Control
a111: Logged on 2018-07-20 20:18 asciilifeform: trinque: i assumed d00d changed his mind, given as he came back, appears to have resumed useful work
mircea_popescu: in any case, any fix to the "why is republic so weak commercially ??" question will contain ample doses of beating the "i did enough work -- as compared to line average" approach out of the hopefuls.
mod6: Well, as he said, I don't think he's interested in contributing to TMSR~ any longer. Even if he wants to follow trb, for instance, can do so from the BTC-DEV list.
asciilifeform: trinque: i assumed d00d changed his mind, given as he came back, appears to have resumed useful work ☟︎
mircea_popescu: leaving aside practical points such as "there's not yet been a case in suedocket that took less than the longest the forum ever took to resolve a matter, and by a factor at that", not to mention this is yet the only court that doesn't charge filing fees, and other minutia.
shinohai: Well I stopped in here as it is the preferred forum for trb matters, but if my presence is not welcome - well then!
mod6: Yup, there are some more that I want to add in there as well. Got them on the conveyor.
mod6: Lords and Ladies of The Most Serene Republic: The Bitcoin Foundation's vtree has been updated with asciilifeform's Aggressive PushGetBlocks vpatch. The TRB-HowTo Guide has been updated as well.
asciilifeform: 'I don’t wear my tail because it’s cute or looks good in photos. I wear it because inside I’m untamable as a wild animal' << aaa waat
a111: Logged on 2018-07-20 13:59 mircea_popescu: about as german as i'm gay.
mircea_popescu: how exactly "I would like to warn you. I come from a very strong German family." squares up with "I lived as an involuntary slave for three years so excuse me for not being interested in being a sub to a male." is anyone's guess ; but we could of course suspect that http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836639 an' http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-25#992038 respectively apply. ☝︎☝︎
diana_coman: antibiotic as cure too, might be, lol
diana_coman: and oh, we are all sinners anyway (metoo!!) but as long as ...repent, it's ok
mircea_popescu: not even diogenes, as vitriolic as he was throughout, attacks ~this~ particular point.
mircea_popescu: anyway, he could have handled it a lot better, but it's one of those "girl come out of a whore dynasty and who spent most of her days on porn set even since she was 5 could've handled her dress coming off at the wedding party better". sure, she could've, if anyone had as much as told her that not all parties consist of her taking all available cocks in all available holes.
mircea_popescu: i believe he just couldn't cope, because a) "this dude supported MY IDEA!!!! and then withdrew without ~private~ consultation" and b) this dude SPOKE OUT as to the flaws of item. both of these barbaric acts contradicted his expectations (because ustards #1 contribution to the "value add" of any "company" or "project" they're involved with is hiding its flaws from the public)
asciilifeform: that was a quite serious experimental result. d00d oughta have taken it as honour to have helped produce it
mircea_popescu: ie, i think the item was dood's idea, i supported it (ie, with money), then when it became obvious there can't be such a thing as "altcoin" i stopped supporting it and plainly said so (and why).
mircea_popescu: mod6 nah, there was something else, i suspect rather http://trilema.com/2014/the-woes-of-altcoin-or-why-there-is-no-such-thing-as-cryptocurrencies/
mod6: As long ago as S.WOL closed, the Foundation was started up the same month.
mircea_popescu: i expect as the empire loses any hope of "oh, mp doesn't matter, we got ethereum" we'll be coming right back to that, "consensus" stuff.
mircea_popescu: to which a cripple by the sidelines is quick to add "besides, it's not true they don't work in any absolute, objective sense. if everyone used wooden muskets they'd work out in the end just as good as now..."
a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 16:33 asciilifeform: GB nics have 2 parts, that are electrically independent and often made by separate firms, the 'mac' and 'phy' (the latter is what actually drives the transformer, the former -- what you/os think of as 'the nic')
a111: Logged on 2018-07-20 14:21 mircea_popescu: but the fundamental failure imported via http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-24#1818281 leads to this sad situation where asciilifeform , product of said wood as he deems himself, is sitting with idiots all day playing their idiocy games, so as to be able to work at making small faberge eggs with me at night, informally an' under the covers. why the fuck is not asciilifeform working on really great faberge eggs in the tzar's own p
mircea_popescu: they shot the wrong part of the tzar, of course. as per ye olde, ye eternally olde and never going anywhere http://trilema.com/2015/the-rabbi-and-the-ewe/#selection-39.437-39.522

asciilifeform: soon as they sat down on the 'comfort' train, as described in http://trilema.com/2016/mochila-o-muerte/#selection-103.0-103.437 , it was done deal.
mircea_popescu: as that expression goes, "the smartest tools in the world aren't worth diddly squat when applied to a faulty premise"
mircea_popescu: this... i mean, sure, man's admirable. but what he sets himself to doing, is both driven by inept ideology and dysfunctional. heroic as he might be in the doing, the deed's ultimately fucking stupid.
asciilifeform can't comment fully objectively, as he is muchly product of the 'wood trunk' , in 9000 ways.
