douchebag: any suggestions for becoming a part of this exlclusive club without getting caught

mircea_popescu: yes. not caring about getting caught.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/filosoful-luminii-de-neon.png << in other antiquary.

mircea_popescu: "HOWEVER YOU CAN'T SUE ME FOR SAYING ANY OF THIS BECAUSE IF YOU SUE ME YOU'D HAVE TO QUOTE ME IN COURT AND THEN I'D SUE YOU FOR QUOTING THIS COPYRIGHTED (C) MESSAGE!!! MY COUSINS ARE ALL LAWYERS !!!!!" <<< turns out the whole SOPS thing actually originated as a usenet joke.

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-01#1791914 << If you wanna throw specific urls into the automated archive hopper, then just dump em in chan. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-04-01 19:24 mircea_popescu: aanyway. lobbes can the kibo site be added to archival ?

lobbes: Or did you mean you want me to mirror everything in, say, http://www.kibo.com/rawdata/ like I did with Uncle Al writings? Either way, I'll go ahead and mirror the stuff in /rawdata/; shouldn't take long at all

mircea_popescu: like with uncle al yes

mircea_popescu: want me to generate a sitemap for you or ?

mircea_popescu: wget -m http://www.kibo.com 2>&1 | grep '^--' | awk '{ print $3 }' | grep -v '\.$css\|js\|png\|gif\|jpg\|JPG$$' > urls.txt

lobbes: ^^ q1 auction bot billz (slow quarter!). Mainly for accounting purposes; no rush on collecting due to eulora servers being down and the fact that the sums are a mere 96 satoshi each ☟︎

mircea_popescu: word.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/szODR/?raw=true

mircea_popescu: sorry bout that

lobbes: btw I'm loving this multi-chan log-quote ability ben_vulpes. I bet this becomes a soft requirement for logotron relevancy as the peripheral 'castles' continue to be added/populated

mircea_popescu: certainly a fine residual incentive for lord to maintain logotron -- get the ability to reference castle logs in here.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform easter, possibly. let's see tomorro.

mircea_popescu: in other items perhaps of interest to the specialist, apparently i had forgotten the link for http://trilema.com/2018/lets-read-together-uncle-al-schwartz-hexadecimal-dependency/#footnote_9_78266 ; now added.

mircea_popescu: "having experienced several variants, i find it now saves time just to adopt the irrational position from the start." <<->> http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-deal-with-pseudoscience/ ; it is better to ignore random noise before examining it for coherence than after.

mircea_popescu: "oh, but how does one know something's random noise afore the fact ? isn't that begging the question ?" you can't establish something is random ~after the fact~, nitwit, randomness is not a property of the string ~but of the method that produced it~. therefore, it's random noise because it comes out of an unknown source, duh!

asciilifeform: or, how it is taught to young children, 'don't eat things picked up off the ground?' 'but what if they're delish' 'but consider'

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: once upon a time there was an s.nsa expense line for ~"servers for nascent isp", would you sell one or both of those to pizarro?

mircea_popescu: "but mp, I ~know~ the source" "no you fucking don't. what's discussed here is knowledge in the strong sense ; your lack of ability to know anything due to http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-ideal-social-systems-reprint/ and http://trilema.com/2011/semiologia-semantica-si-viata/ type issues does not permit you to now claim knowledge out of the void.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you mean, of the servers asciilifeform is flying in ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are we selling ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i would not be opposed to selling off 1 of the 2 spares ( either for pizarro-credits, as mircea_popescu earlier sold FGs, or for coin, or come combination of the 2 )

mircea_popescu: we have a main which is going to be the nsa / phuctor main machine and 3 spares was it ? or 2 ?

mircea_popescu: also, do you want to lamp the main phuctor item rather than use the vps + server minigame system ? i imagine it'd be easier to do python bindingd and w/e that way ?

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes what do you want to pay ?

mircea_popescu: aite.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and the idea is to keep a spare there in any case, even if we don't use it for anything, "to make up for lost time", live a little as it were ?

mircea_popescu: i can see it.

mircea_popescu: in other items of kibo-interest, salted roasted pistachios with milk make for a splendid breakfast. you shell a few, you take a swig ; you take a swig, you shell a few.

mircea_popescu: aaand since i was doing spelunking, lulz item from 2011 : http://trilema.com/2011/de-ce-nu-ma-place-beranger-v4/#selection-139.0-139.124

mircea_popescu: tl;dr : "superior" & "civilized" romanian (ie, exactly http://trilema.com/2017/in-case-you-were-wondering-where-all-the-worthless-nuland-drones-ended-up/ ) "does not like trilema" because "how dares the ney work times advertise it!! imagine, i was reading there like a good nuland drone, and what do they show me ? trilema!!! THE EVIL BADGUY FROM MY COUTRY!!! THE WHOLE PANTSUIT SYSTEM IS BREAKING DOWN!!!111"

mircea_popescu: incredibly enough, original item still there even! https://twitter.com/ludditus/status/51677863652491264

mircea_popescu: (he also hates bitcoin, because how dared it make me rich. and in general -- let's just say if he sees you driving my car he'll hate you too)

asciilifeform: any particular reason ? ( or does he simply despise folx whose names start with 'm', or wat )

mircea_popescu: dude thinks pantsuit is right ; hates the fact that i exist, and the way i tend to rub pantsuit nose in the necessary pantsuit failure / gloat at the success of my rape & "sociopathy" campaign REALLY gets his goat.

mircea_popescu: basically cuck rage, but of a platonic rather than sexual nature.

mircea_popescu: but anyway, in between "here's what the french atlantic said about german cars, bmw is worst ever" and retweets of "Having kids to give life meaning creates more lives that need meaning. Basically it’s a Ponzi scheme." he did entertain me for a few minutes, so not all is lost.

mircea_popescu: imagine, dacia good, bmw and audi bad. a whole generation of dead romanians would cream SO HARD if they could see this.

mircea_popescu: bwahahaha "bug in npm changes permissions on / file system destroys productions linux or unix boxes. “sudo npm” will chown “/“."

mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny to delve into the other side on occasion. check out the "i'm an idiot" style quotes, be unsurprised they use "npm" to chown root

mircea_popescu: (npm is a package manager for javascript)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha.

mircea_popescu: node.js, "we pantsuits can republic too!"

asciilifeform: i'll admit my 1st thought was '... novell ??!' but then looked at calendar..

mircea_popescu: hey, novell netware is what got me into hand-written serial cable protocols.

mircea_popescu: honestly i don't recall being as infuriated with computers hence.

mircea_popescu: i was younger then.

mircea_popescu: "Qaisar Mahmood, a Muslim born in Pakistan, is the new head of the Swedish National Heritage Board." He admits "he has not read anything about Sweden’s cultural heritage." << bwahahaha

asciilifeform: hey, 'if it contradicts the koran, it is heretical, if not -- superfluous' (tm)(r) or was that from the last go-around.

mircea_popescu: and the funniest part of all of this is that they're somehow not calling it rape.

mircea_popescu: rape is only when a white boy on campus gets his nerve up to say hi

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes shinohai got an identity crisis after finding out he's lagging behind, is either genuinely finding his way out or else sulking somewhere waiting for the usual disasters to befal.

mircea_popescu: the notion there exists a fiatola bitcoin price was due for a trashing anyway ; part and parcel of a collection of quaint nonsense like the flat earth on turtles and the predictive power of phrenology.

mircea_popescu: "3x as many male managers are now uncomfortable mentoring women in the wake of #MeToo. This is a huge step in the wrong direction. We need more" << roflmao.

mircea_popescu: oh, wait, being an annoying bitch doesn't work ?!?! ONOES!! WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED!

mircea_popescu: backpedal goes in anus nao ?

mircea_popescu: anyway ; training the "woke" in any sort of skilled anything is seriously immoral. knowledge is not to be used for evil.

mircea_popescu: ill get back to you.

mircea_popescu: we just discussed this ; s.nsa is at the most selling one of the two spares. ill run the numbers later an' give you an aye or nay.

mircea_popescu: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5351133/Eastern-Europeans-10-times-faster-farm-work-Brits.html << fucking hysterical. entirely useless precious cuntlets somehow stop short of wondering why the fuck their government has to import muslims by the million as the only people troglodyte enough to fuck their dumb cunts.

mircea_popescu: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/06/us/baltimore-police-corruption.html << and in other news, turns out baltimore is becoming the first city liberated by republican militias from the terrorist self-appointed usg ?

mircea_popescu: anyone wanna move there, build a stronghold ?

mircea_popescu: piddly $100k career take for "elite" representatives of the embattled government ? vulnerable as all hell.

mircea_popescu: the usg employee that told the truth hasn't been seen this decade.

asciilifeform: nah, that's ~last~ decade. ~this~ decade nobody's even seen one that sold a half-believable dose of flimflam.

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: ephedrine ?

BingoBoingo: Easily squeezed a couple ounces of fluid from my sinuses in the first few minutes pursuing nasal stability

mircea_popescu: iirc that created the problem it cured ?

asciilifeform: verily, that's the nose spray where for every litre of snot you would have otherwise disgorged, instead there will be 2 to pay

mircea_popescu: usg medicine is very much like usg "technology" aka web development : "hey, it seems to work!"

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> iirc that created the problem it cured ? << Well, temporarily aggrevated the problem it treats

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'on installment' << Rebound effect is normal only when you go beyond three applications. This is more spackiling over the acute phase.

hanbot: hey mircea_popescu: people are wanting to get an mp-wp --is my understanding of the situation correct, ie proablem i had with making vdiff --> proablem with v itself --> folks are reformulating these?

mircea_popescu: hanbot atm phf is re-grinding his vdiff to include histfile and afaik you didn't have hosting ? did that meanwhile resolve ?

hanbot: was given hosting keyfob yest. evening, will be getting whet.net back today/tomorrow

mircea_popescu: ah. so then get the whet back and see from there. maybe new vdiff is ready ; if not and you want to march you can apply spyked's patch on the extant codebase as published by phf, if i understand correctly that should fix your problem. the diffs you produce with the thing thereby compiled will work with later restared vdiff too.

mircea_popescu: aaand in other "we used to think romanians are specifically retarded, but then the usians went and joined up!" sads, http://www.dianacoman.com/blog/2011/08/08/referintele-ca-niste-punti-lipsa/

asciilifeform: plz do not treat these as homeworks, mod6 , they are there for illustration

asciilifeform: ( tldr : it's a demo of a guaranteed-cure for the infamous ' moving mpi dir ' misery . )

asciilifeform: lemme know if any part of it did not make sense, or if i laughably misunderstood the orig trinque-algo.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform basically breaks every patch up into single-file units ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well, consolidates, rather than breaks up, but correct.

asciilifeform: each followed by exactly 1 hash ( or, in the case of genesis, 'false' . )

mircea_popescu: basically you add all files into a temp together, space-separated ?

asciilifeform: nope. there is no inbandism, literally any combination of characters is legal in the single file.

mircea_popescu: i'm reading.

mircea_popescu: "print decoration" ?

mircea_popescu: (i get it, i get it, you use the republican-standard declare-size cut method. yes yes.)

asciilifeform: the #####...#### thing. it can contain literally anything, purely for ease of eyes.

mircea_popescu: this is where we admit that while the alternative solution presented passes on technical merits, nevertheless the thing it's an alternative to has much better political support. i ~want~ to require people to say a word about their patch, for human eyes.

asciilifeform: it's an alternative to the idjit unix multifile diff that doesn't let you move files without barfing megs of liquishit into the diff.

asciilifeform: it has also added seekrit bonus of making the patch format non-inbandistic.

mircea_popescu: at which juncture i suppose it'd pay to check, huh. hey phf, my memory of logs discussion includes this item whereby the above problem was fully resolved by declaring the path as inseparable part of the filename. you on the same page ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: "all files are identified by hashes of their (proper) name and content" and all that.

asciilifeform: it would be correct also to say that dir2txt/txt2dir abstracts over the idea of unix filenames entirely.
