asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu just wants an ordinary chumpnet that is a different and far more practical convo.

asciilifeform: and let's also say a % of'em are dead at any time, and dragged along by living

a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 00:22 asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479673 << i distinctly recall mircea_popescu outlining this wish list a while back. but must confess that i suspect cpu cycle rental - even PINCHED cycles from OTHER PEOPLE, in botnet - to be a -ev proposition. strange, but there it is.

phf: but then i'm just talking out of my ass, i've been out of that field for a long time. i just suspect that the scenario you describe is already pretty common and is probably part of разборки

phf: but you can easily upgrade open access service to a custom service and charge for the extra work too. if you want your ads injected on all machines, you don't get to put own exe, needs to spec out the problem and give it to botnet owner to develop. also means that particularly losery owners will rapidly transfer their botnets to smarter crowd ☟︎

phf: i've been burned by fellow scriptkiddies back in my scriptkiddy days enough times to not trust anyone with that sort of open access. i thought that would be the case with others. perhaps there's a distinction between "us" and "johns" happening here. if the person is paying for botnet access, is probably mark to begin with

asciilifeform: riding, so to speak, a bus

asciilifeform: you need a new one ?

asciilifeform: the only reason it does not happen more often with garden-variety botnets is that competent folk are few and far between and no one in particular is a sufficiently-appealing target.

asciilifeform: is that a reasonably competent griefer can rent the chumpnet and ~clean it~ ☟︎

asciilifeform: this is sorta like our 'revelation' re crypto a few months back.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ever personally arrange a db replication thing ?

a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:06 mircea_popescu: do anything you damn well please - from hosting your (uninterdictable) website on half a million random machines to nuking whitehouse.org

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479676 << i suspect that there are not half a million machines with decent bandwidth and disk. ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: thing is a good start

asciilifeform: i have it on a 2160x3840 display

mod6: its hard because there are like a number of disconnected graphs, or hard because of mental gymnastics? i'd like to make it better, so your input helps.

shinohai: Since we finished the rss thing last night, I'm already working on a new one xD

mod6 turning people to the dark side, one at a time.

mod6: salud; now that we've got a ticketing system, we can see how much there really is to do still! haha.

shinohai: And really fun, learned a lot about perl I didn't before.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:42 mod6: I'm not much of a writer. Obviously.

shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479757 Says "I'm not much of a writer", writes awesome bot. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: mod6 anyway, go ahead an' write it up, i already did a qntra today

a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:39 mod6: I feel like we've needed this tool for some time as he was only needing a way to track and graph the work required.

mod6: But I'll take a shot at it I guess as long as the proceeds can be donated to The Bitcoin Foundation.

mod6: I'm not much of a writer. Obviously. ☟︎

mod6: I feel like we've needed this tool for some time as he was only needing a way to track and graph the work required. ☟︎

mod6: maybe "ANTECEDENTS" is a bad word here, perhaps "DEPENDENTS"

mod6: so yeah, we start with a large chunk, and it breaks down to smaller chunks.

mircea_popescu: any convention's just a convention after all.

mod6: so ticket 1 is a saga, which can't be complete until 8 is complete, correct?

mircea_popescu: i'd give it a few mins.

mod6: ah, yeah, ok. i see all of 'em came in at nearly the same time. should have handled it, but looks like it got a bit confused.

mod6: ok, yeah, i see all of those in the file. lemme see what happened when you were entering 'em. thanks for doing that, might be a weird timing issue or something, not sure.

mircea_popescu: map the entire dns system, eavesdrop the entire internet, create your own dns, launch satellites and nukes (hey, who's to say what peripherals a given machine has, amirite ?), whatever.

mircea_popescu: do anything you damn well please - from hosting your (uninterdictable) website on half a million random machines to nuking whitehouse.org ☟︎

shinohai raises a cup of tea to tb0t and mod6

mod6: glad you think it's a worthwhile thing Mr. P. there is so much that gets into the logs, and this will be a much easier way (hopefully) to keep track of all of the republics work or tasks, or whatever reallly.

mircea_popescu: mod6 well this has been quite energizing, i'm making a thing rightnao.

mod6: I'm sick of "epic" tickets, so came up with a "saga". For trb, a saga is something like ``ideal bitcoin''.

mod6: Saga is meant as a really large task, an adventure of sorts.

mod6: so far, nothing entirely meaningful there, although later could do reporting or something based on code, or sorting, something. gives it a "flavor" if you will.

mod6: so that one doesn't have much of a mouse over, and probably has a lot of room for improvement all around.

mircea_popescu: ah i had it as a plaintext display for some reason.

mod6: There could be some labels made or something in the ascii graph to make it a bit more readable though, i agree with that.

mircea_popescu can't believe there isn't a html bird flipping glyph

mircea_popescu: being part of a usg "protected class" is insta-outlawry. everyone may take your shit, rape you and kill you, and nobody cares. serves you fucking right, shithead.

mircea_popescu: there is no obligation on the part of anyone to ensure "safe and comfortable" anything for anyone else. and fuck "protected classes" with a barbed fence.

asciilifeform: ioned work session which you took part in leading. The very statement that the inception of a working relationship was in any way influenced by sexual conduct or even innuendo is offensive...'

asciilifeform: choice lulz, '...The other incident raises more serious concerns regarding Tor Project’s obligation to ensure a safe and comfortable work environment, especially as regards an environment that is unwelcoming or hostile to protected classes of community members. In this case, you made statements that implied that new community members were recruited in a sexually charged manner. This was made during the course of a Tor Project-sanct

mircea_popescu: myeah i was looking more for a single line from credible souce. "pdf" from usg exact opposite on all scores.

asciilifeform: 'there is a first time for everything'

mircea_popescu: wtf is it even a thing for.

asciilifeform: sooooooo in other nyooz here's a small preview of things to come: ☟︎

asciilifeform: 'Why would a Bitcoin payment processor fail to fix an error that prevents them from processing Bitcoin payments for nearly a month?' << l0l!

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo "Many have tried to find an easier softer way than the WoT, but they could not." < "Many have tried to find an easier softer way than the WoT ; and just as many have failed to date." << Present phrasing is a literary reference. Evaluating submission nao

a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 16:29 phf: philadelphia is all led pipes so they just give you a little paper that lets you test the water for free, and then presumably move "elsewhere"

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479327 << lead pipes are seriously not a hazard. UNLESS IMBECILES. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479286 << not the worst of ideas ; i had them in my mercs also. depends a lot on engine, but the water pump conveyor belt was by far the largest vulnerability of the thing. have belt, 300% better reliability, need roadside servicing never as opposed to maybe once every other year. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479270 <<< this is a much more serious problem than anyone commonly realises. us "psych" quackery diagnosis ~= death sentence. works faster than the judicial one too, less than a decade. ☝︎

mod6: logging feature still needs a bit of rounding-out to implement the format we discussed before. and the help thing, which im going to tweak now actually.

mod6: they deliniate the start and end of the subject and notes fields. if you want to add a blocking ticket (antecedent) you just tack that on the end like so:

mod6: to add a new project, you simply add a new ticket with a new project name, like this:

mod6: well it should only query deedbot when issued a command. so it shouldn't be spamming it...

mircea_popescu: are you a blonde deedbot ?

mod6: yeah. i did all the work to get it into the wot, plus a L1 from me, plus code to auth/voice itself.

mircea_popescu: ~only way to make yourself rich in the socialist empire, be it of the "egalite fraternite humanatee" revolution or of the "faggotry, equality, poverty" revolution, is through taking up a tax farm.

mircea_popescu: teh teens tend to want 14 if possibru! then a decade later, they're back to maybe 8.

asciilifeform always imagines that mircea_popescu sleeps for 18+ hr/day, like a housecat

mircea_popescu: speaking of side effects : this morn i woke up, executed a bottle of champagne with homemade apple pie and scantily clad damsels to the backing of 70s/80s italian made-for-tv comedies (atti impuri, anyone ever seen ? THAT is how you make shit for the tv!).

asciilifeform: sure. or scrubbing toilet as in that film. or whatever stupid thing, if you're doing a stupid thing.

a111: 1 results for "mathematics lost a month", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=mathematics%20lost%20a%20month

asciilifeform: $s mathematics lost a month

asciilifeform: there is a time and a place for it.

mircea_popescu: first off, "losens inhibitions", tell you what, igot plenty of inhibited derps drunk when i was a teen. best sex was still in between the thighs of the sluts.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-07 19:26 mircea_popescu: "Empirically the most ‘attractive’ man in our community including for purposes of casual sex is Mike Blume, who (I’ve asked a woman or two) achieves this by being extremely polite, reliable, and generating a feeling of being very safe to be around or date (contrary to a number of people who’d allege that this is beta-male behavior who I’m beginning to suspect are just sheerly empirically wrong)." << aha

asciilifeform: imho the powerz of dope are overblown. vodka will loosen inhibitions but nobody gets the basic idea of cracking a skull from it. ditto meth, stupid man will be 10x more vigorous in his idiocy, erdos - 10x theorems.
