nubbins`: "I dont have a youtube account. Well, didnt have a youtube account. With new accounts you can only upload 10 minute videos i just found out. My DSLR camcorder records 20 minutes of video at a time."
davout: and afaik thermos isn't that big of an irc guy
davout: nubbins`: just make a fake expert woodcarver competitor account, you'll probably get a whole extra load of lulz out of it

davout: et ce n'est pas le champ que ca me donne envie de labourer...
mircea_popescu: while in english women go into labour, in french men labour to send them there.
davout: semantically the french "labourer" is a subset of "to labour"
davout: as in "one particular kind of work"
mircea_popescu: davout actually the best continuation of the laser handcarving drama would be if the guy turns out to be a midget chinese woman that does it with her nails.
davout: that stock photographers stole from?
mircea_popescu: lol no, actually copies stock photos for no discernible reason.

mod6: ive got a separate vm that has 1Gb of ram and it runs for about a 18-20 hours before it runs out of ram.
nubbins`: the amount of ram isn't really the issue
mod6: my aws vm has like 2gb of ram and it runs out between 24 - 48 hours
nubbins`: the inexorable consumption thereof is the issue
undata: hah, I had munin on a micro and it'd help take down the instance
nubbins`: so maybe not design the device around the memory leak
undata: pile up on itself when the previous cron hadn't finished munging graphs
nubbins`: so it runs out once an hour? unplug it

mod6: it would be neat-o to see this run on some sort of commercial router with a large flash-rom in there.
mod6: cool. in this case, im running v0.5.3[base]+patches{1,rm_rf_upnp,2,3,4,6(db_config),unreleased-version-update-patch}
mod6: in my most recent regression tests ( this past week, i've been leaving out the rm_checkpoints patch )
mod6: and so should you. I'll be tabling that, updating the "Patch guide" and pulling the tarball with that patch down from the website as soon as my other vm hits current block.
mod6: here's a script that will build everything without the rm_checkpoints patch, with exception to the version number update:
mod6: asciilifeform: irc stuff is still in there.
mod6: basically; patches include so far, your patches, ben's rm UPNP & the bdb config update patches.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: jurov, ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu - if one of you presently has a 0.5.3.x in a vm, try running under hard constraint of 128 or 256m. see when croaks. << it doesn't croak if it has the blockchain prebuilt, that part's for sure.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes:dealbook.nytimes.com/2015/01/22/winklevoss-twins-aim << yeah yeah, they've been aiming at the toilet for three years now.
mircea_popescu: still have to unpucker the cock enough for as much as a dribble to come out

mod6: typically i see my first crash around 180k
mircea_popescu: i think it's more in the 230k ish range that there's some large reorgs
mod6: but, this is 10% of the memory i'm used to runing with
mod6: so, color me suprised
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it doesn't actually crash-crash, not really.
mod6: mp: yeah, it definatly hits a slowdown from like 180k->270k
mircea_popescu: anyway, mod6 ben_vulpes : asciilifeform has a point, it'd be ideal if this can be wrapped up with a foundation blessed bitcoin core, and one that has the bad seed model snipped out ideally.
mircea_popescu: once there's a million dollar worth of them in the wild, "upgrading" bitcoin is this good joke.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i really never looked at anything they pushed out after the hearn fork.

mircea_popescu: ah, spice is a different story tho. they can eat pretty hot, especially in the se.
mircea_popescu: but! flavour and hotness are different. flavour's a billion different sulphides, alcohols, aromatics etc
mod6: in v0.5.3, afaik, it looks for dups, then (with checkpoints) it checks to see if the block has a timestamp previous to the last checkpoint, then if it can't find a prev block it puts it in a holding area until one is found.
mod6: Lastly, it recursively processes any orphan blocks that are depended on it, and deletes them from the map.
mod6: In later versions, they have a cap of 750 blocks max for the orphan map iirc.
assbot: Logged on 07-08-2014 19:08:21; decimation: the question is: if this isn't a scam, where are they going to trade bitcoin?
mod6: so if the new block is not the genesis block, and the new blocks prev hash != best chain hash, run Reorganize
mod6: which is worth a look
mod6: @ block 1236XX i'll have to check back in on it in the am.
mod6: ill give another update on it then.
mircea_popescu: <mod6> In later versions, they have a cap of 750 blocks max for the orphan map iirc. << yes, and it's idiotic.
mircea_popescu: a 900 block long orphan that's 5 blocks shorter than the main chai nshould not be discarded.
mircea_popescu: a 2 block orphan that's 122 blocks shorter than the main chain is never going to be main.

mircea_popescu: except it's a meaningless ofence nobody prosecutes seriously, because it can get the jury to waste time / negotiate a conviction down, and the punishments are minor anyway.
mircea_popescu: ie, you won't get a conviction on it straight ; if you're also prosecuting other indictments it can either blow up, ruin your other counts or at most succeed for no benefit, as it'll get rolled into the other counts.

punkman: "He also started to charge BitTalk Media at a rate of 80 GBP per hour for the time required to respond to messages and emails that asked for clarifications and actions regarding these company assets. Even more, he was paying himself for the time that was required to pay himself. All these actions lead towards considering him as a rogue/hostile shareholder."
mircea_popescu: punkman actual term of law, "rogue/hostile shareholder" dontchaknow.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes do you know what's the difference between a useful employee and a dweeb with no understanding of anything that's going to "totally revolutionize the way you do business" ?
mircea_popescu: okay. it's a similar thing for women. a girl "thinks she migh have been raped". a woman is slightly bemused at your apparent expectation that taking her clothes off puts HER at a disadvantage.
punkman: mircea_popescu: punkman actual term of law, "rogue/hostile shareholder" dontchaknow. < it is?

danielpbarron: So obvious he is a sock puppet. i would highly advise against not only doing business with this account, but engaging in any kind of conversation with this weirdo.
danielpbarron: Another sock puppet possible purchased account of Nubbins / Paul Revere. Also a ranting and raving Jesus humping Bible thumping verifiable crazy person it appears. Stay clear of this one for sure.

TomServo: pete_dushenski: is your client auto-joining #b-a?
davout: i love the outdoors, as long as it stays outdoors
davout: he cheats, he gets driven around
TomServo: pete_dushenski: Likely the cause of the failed cloak.. it doesn't activate until you've authed with services.

mircea_popescu: that's the only sort of technically inept interesting people that can be.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure that upon invention of speech there were some pretty hott neanderthals that nevertheless couldn't make the cut.

mod6: asciilifeform: regarding 'pogo': Cool!
jurov: if you can key them in at once
jurov: um...theoretically possible to key in ten dice at once, one per finger
TomServo: mircea_popescu: what would have the contrary effect? << samples of many of the insightful conversation I've witnessed here over the years. Would do it for me at least.
jurov: one can throw dice using a foot mechanism, hands stay on keyboard
mircea_popescu: TomServo conversation is meaningless outside context. how do you supply context ?
TomServo: mircea_popescu: link to logs? :)
mircea_popescu: jurov but realy, the correct way to do it is, make a 40x40 grid in a wooden box that's the size of the dice, buy 1600 dice, shake until they settle then photograph and read the thing.
jurov: nubbins`: suggest the woodscammer to make above dice contraptions?
mircea_popescu: it's really not hard to do. works best with good quality glass or ebonite dice best.
nubbins`: my cat is a carpet when she is on the way to the vet
jurov: she is? or you're on the way with her?
