mats: and a special thanks to
phf for his great www logger! i use it every other day
trinque: once off that, I might see about ebuilding trb (with perhaps
phf's v+portage work if it surfaces), and then mircea_popescu's gns v-tree, unless gpg replacement surfaces soon, in which case deedbot->peh work
billymg: hi all, this past week i've been able to take advantage of the holiday vacation time to get a local workbench set up. i now have a proper gnat so was able to build
phf's vdiff. i also have my blog running locally which makes it a lot easier to work on and test changes

phf: asciilifeform: i saw you posted a highres photo of macivory you found on the internet, but could you perhaps post a couple of nice photos of your current board, where one can see labels on chips and whatever text on the surface

phf, would it be a big bother to get for me the number of words in the logs for the weeks 26Nov-2Dec, 3Dec-9Dec, 10Dec-16Dec 2018? It's more to satisfy my curiosity on whether the relative sizes match the variation in size of my summaries for those weeks or not.

phf: asciilifeform: it ~is~ the infamous mappers and packers thing, m&p is first chapter

phf this part is fine. now, why did they fail to a) band togetgher and b) control, deliberately, the product.

phf: so i'm not trusted at all?
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 20:59 asciilifeform:
phf: observe, asciilifeform's approach to breaking 'seekrets' is not entirely ineffective. and yes it is 'unfriendly', in particular to folx keeping the seekritz. which by extension is ~anyone~ who knows and aint saying.

phf: asciilifeform: fwiw i didn't ignore your point. i don't trust you with this stuff, and not because you're not trustworthy, but because you refuse to be discreet when asked to be. and again since this will be misconstrued, i'm not saying keep things secret, i was specifically asking you to _quitely_ use the products of my work.

phf: mircea_popescu: i've given a more nuanced answer over the logs. i've said that stuff from last year is junk, i'm not sure about stuff from this year, because i haven't inspected it yet. short of asciilifeform's periodic jabs, there was simply no reason to dedicate more time to it, considering that from a useful work perspective this is seen as a hobby, and i already have a backlog of things i actually need to be working on.
mircea_popescu:
phf you want to say "if i can't discriminate then why am i lord", then you turn around and it's "either i have something or i don't have something." well, discriminate, which is it ?
mircea_popescu:
phf i never heard of scavenger taking the loving tack to the quarry. usually scavenger sounds like alf sounds.
mircea_popescu:
phf this whole "i care about the relationship for the stuff it can produce" is very like what proust'd said.

phf: that's not a promise that i made, and this is a misrepresentation of my position. unfortunately i can't find the relevant pgpgram, but i believe i made it clear that i don't want this publically discussed, because obviously if any of the interested parties were to read this conversation, their reaction would be "waitaminute". i never the less offered to share what i have, but i never got a confirmation that you can just keep quite on

phf: you're constantly in logs, confused as to how anyone can get anything from anyone, yet now you're questioning my methods.
trinque doesn't mean in
phf's direction either!
trinque: you know, like that time trinque and
phf got into it, and probably would've wised up pages back if but for a friendly thrown fist
mircea_popescu: could for the same money have "hey
phf-- i know i said so and so in the past, but truth be told now i got these chips and i'd like to get some work done, so how about..."
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 20:04 asciilifeform: nao, if
phf thinks that asciilifeform cracking the case ~at all~ will 'unmask'
phf's informant, this is a problem. chiefly for
phf's informant, because i ~will~ rape bolix, whether anyone helps or not

phf: i aint proposing to put the thing on ftp as-is.
mircea_popescu: so basically, the facts of the matter is, "at some point in the distant-er than month but closer than decade past",
phf wanted to tell you some things and you took a hard line "just dump the thing", which he didn't want to do. then recently, having bought some parts and being less theoretically and more practically minded, you revised your stance ~in your own mind~ to
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1881964 and so on, but n

phf: if dump weighs TB and (apparently) after whole year
phf still not eaten it, might make sense to pgp to asciilifeform . i'ma not post the raw docs and their yellowdots.
mircea_popescu: so now. is the case as you publicly present it, "
phf has been not helping for year +" or is the case as he publicly presents it, "i tried to help a year ago but granularity didn't match and then he went on a campaign of fuming about whisperers ''in general'' transparently in reference to the particuylar case and i was stuck sitting and listening to it."
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 19:58
phf: asciilifeform: when i communicated with you, in private, about the dump in the past, your response was essentially "i'm not making any promises, i'm going to dump the whole thing on the internet", i've attempted to communicate to you that further value can be extracted from that relationship, if you're patient. your reaction to that was to start talking about whisperers etc. and then you come back with "i wonder how you got your hands

phf: i took saeculum promises specifically to assist with republican work. i think that dumping this dump as is is short sighted, because the dump by weight is garbage, and will trivially identify all involved. i want to at least evaluate what's in it that can be of assistance to asciilifeform, an identification that became necessary only a week ago.

phf: my approach to this is to find compromise, i've volunteered all the information i've volunteered so far. i'm making a point that whatever asciilifeform might need for his work i can communicate to him. is this approach not acceptable? it seems that i'm just being pressured into dumping a dump of unknown quality and state, that might or might not help

phf: well, if we don't, i'll see if i can get an unlock through corporate channels, and just use it as a one off machine
