☟︎ mircea_popescu: hanbot oddly the file doesn't pass utf-8 ; but passes iso 8859. there's some artefact in there.
mircea_popescu: hanbot : file -bi reports "text/x-diff; charset=us-ascii", which seems proper ; however awk -vFS="" '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)w[$i]++}END{for(i in w) print i,w[i]}' 'mp-wp_genesis.vpatch' spits out
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/YQn0g/?raw=true which shows the problem -- you got a buncha garbage single-occurence chars in there.

mircea_popescu: honestly i'd propose taking the "Spellchecker" out altogether, but something tells me the hackery is not limited to that module. i guess make a list of all the places they appear, see if it can all be excised or just replaced with better notation ?
hanbot: mircea_popescu yeah, will do
mircea_popescu: wait, wait, philipinoy no longer on list of usg pet states ?! BUT THE SUCCESS OF INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACIES AND INTRIGUES?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: where's all the pantsuit press discussing "the embattled usg, ever more isolated on the world stage" ? what, this rhodesia doesn't get the usual rhodesian press ?
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-06#1793785 << items predates melpa by many years. i suspect first serious item to rely on gnutls was GNUS, but initially integration was done by calling a subprocess and piping things into it. gnutls (as well as dbus, libxml, imagemagick) as linked in library is a more recent phenomenon
☝︎ mircea_popescu: there was some drama with imagemagick linking and vulnerabilities, but i don't recall it right now
phf: asciilifeform's favorite graphic metaphor of the whole spittoon is always apropos
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, it's true that the whole alt-pantsuit "foss" movement failed to design (or to deliver, or to mean anything, or etcetera, sursure), but nevertheless the ashes they left behind are amenable to retrospective redesign.
mircea_popescu: it's pretty clear LAMP was the whole schtick, and it's evident where imagemagick would have fit into that stack.
mircea_popescu: whole fucking thing is browser candy for the masses, aka "linux".
mircea_popescu: now, why they opted to do it poorly and scatter-piss-idly instead of straight up is anyone's guess.
phf: was supposed to be btcbase/patches, like "patches" as a not very descriptive name of the section where vpatches are stored
mircea_popescu: anyway, meanwhile binary bits were discovered in there, so it'll likely change still.
phf: yeah, saw in logs, i'm going to throw it at the patcher anyway to see if it behaves
mircea_popescu: and on the old films front, "20`000 years in sing sing" is a gnarly piece of nonsense about on there with "the room". except with spencer tracy playing the incomprehensible retard.
phf: so bad, it's not even worth a trilema review. a byline in logs at most.
mircea_popescu: but i mean... dat prison-made REVOLVER. with a PERFECTLY WORKING SILENCER. all made out of common prisonhold materials.
mircea_popescu: (pro tip : silencers dun really work on pistols, even with today's materials science.)
phf: you cut put a silencer on a small caliber subsonic rounds, and then you're going to get a very satisfying "tink tink tink" sound, but that's not going to have any kind of stopping power.
mircea_popescu: no but listen, a revolver, right ? it revolves. how does it revolve ?
mircea_popescu: are you going to put caulk in the space it revolves through ? or what ?
phf: i missed the revolver part
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how you even make revolvers out of whatever dubious zamak. i mean yes i've seen prison made firearms, but they were without exception single round sorta things.
phf: i'm not sure what the comparisons to the room mean at this point. i suspect it means "it's not really `so bad it's good`, it's really just dull bad, and you should avoid it", or?
mircea_popescu: oh, and you should see their lock knock system! it looks like a converted sewing machine!
mircea_popescu: phf it means it does not map to any sort of rational, coherent, non-contradictory model of the world.
mircea_popescu: whether one enjoys this or not is muchly a case of mood, i suspect. there's nothing intrinsicly good or valuable about it, it's like pareidolia except not about faces, but about stories. if you see something in there, you brought the something you see from home.
phf: that's also a lot more generous than my "goddamn kids trying to force a cult following out of a turd"
mircea_popescu: rden-but-otherwise-exactly-the-same/ and "peta" and "stereotypes" and the whole rest of it.
mircea_popescu: could readily argue that it's a cognitive revolution on the level of the original "voices in head" multicameral mind, in impact, effects, whatever.
mircea_popescu: people today literally lost the ability to conceptualize the negative space between ontology and characterisation.
mircea_popescu: which is the deep problem we reference now and again with the "original penguin" stories. "nobody told me that the men with guns can very well kill me" is not the idle protestation of a retard, but the desperate cry of a broken mind that literally DOES NOT REALISE things that weren't on the spec sheet may indeed exist.
mircea_popescu: which is why they make such terrible programmers, "i didn't tell the computer to give out root, why did it ?!" ; and which is why they make such terrible partners, "i did not consent to my asshole being sore after fucking!!1".
mircea_popescu: it all comes down to the same "how can something exist that's not SAID", which is what's at work here too.
mircea_popescu: and obviously the driver of that is, "there's so much said, it's a deluge already, even without considering anything else. so we're not gonna."
mircea_popescu: in any case, all to the last of the paralogic, cvasirational behaviours of the neet, the pantsuit, the modern man generally all come back to this exact problem, of misrepresenting ontology as a subset of gnoseology, "things that exist are those among the things that are said which also had the 'exists' attribute set."
mircea_popescu: needless to say never before was this insanity seriously contemplated, of having reality as a subset of representation.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, you agree the cardinal of the set of all the things that can be represented is larger than the cardinal of the set of all the things that can be" "of course" "so then you say the set of things that are necessarily contains the set of things that can be represented ?" "yes" "but this is self-contradictory!" "hurr. there's more reals than there's rationals, and the happenstance that each rational can be denoted as an i
mircea_popescu: nfinity of nominally different fractions doesn't help this. yes 2/4 3/6 4/8 etc etc. you still can't touch pi, and pi shall bury you."
mircea_popescu: (tl;dr : pantsuit spazzing out over fundamental challenge to their "rationalist" ideals whereby "discussion is only for arguments", "characterization is noise" and all the rest of the "we are an equal bunch that can never be punched" "science")

BingoBoingo: But the detail is less obscure when I am surrounded by them. Or maybe pessimissm is contagious. I disappoints me a bit that I have yet to meet other immigrants interested in extermination talk yet.

BingoBoingo: Those were also the ones good enough to stay in Italy.
mircea_popescu: speaking of fingerprints, it's becoming a latam tradition to require fingerprints with various paperwork. whole thing has a very collapse-into-preliterate-times flavour to it

mircea_popescu: and in today's dose of scholarship : the texts of the catholic church endured unchanged for at the least eleven centuries : from the gelasian sacramentary or before, until the 1950s. at this point, the long held tradition of praying "et pro perfidis judaeis" became insufferable. at first giuseppe pacelli declared that "perfidis" in the original does not mean perfidious, but faithless. then roncalli made this an official rule
mircea_popescu: at first, then took the adjective out altogether. then vatican 2 took out the reference to the "veil on the hearts of jews" also, because "possibility of misinterpretation".
mircea_popescu: the funny bit in all of this is that very much yes, the latin "per-fides" much like "per-jury" and other constructions surviving to this day denotes quite literally, faithless, "with a broken apparatus for the human behaviour commonly known as faith".
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, this doesn't actually make the "perfidious" translation incorrect. that's fucking exactly what the term means today, also.
mircea_popescu: that it so happens perfidious has a lot of literary skirting putting it in its proper context, whereas the novel coinage "faithless" does not is kinda like permitting the gypos to change their name, or calling idiocy or "handicap" something else.
mircea_popescu: you know that the rotten substance will permeate eventualyl the fresh covers, and sooner or later you'll have the same association for the new term as for the old, as the association is earned, not arbitrary.
mircea_popescu: but... somehow pantsuit finds itself subjectively in this position where it has the sovereign authority to keep throwing out people's work, and subject them to having to re-do the same work.
mircea_popescu: "please upgrade to the new prayerbook, [and then take another 1100 years to work out the value of "abraham and his posterity", which just happens to be exactly equal to the original "perfidis judaeis", but whatever, you don't KNOW that, yes, it's not "scientific", what do you feel about the methodlogy ?!?!?]"
mircea_popescu: and of course faith here isn't "religious belief", but faith, quite literally, metaphysical trust. the behaviour that breaks the prisonner's dilemma.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i find it hysterical that the ~only possible interpretation of the internet meaning of "jew" today is EXACTLY the meaning that the catholics distilled into their prayerbook, "these dorks can't break out of prisonner's dilemma".
mircea_popescu: unspoken, ununderstood, golum of humanity, forever retracing the same potholes.
mircea_popescu: but it certainly puts some cold water on any progressive verbiage. "the people" of today are EXACTLY as smart as the people of forever. euclids, eulers, etceteras come and go, but the problems of reality REMAIN, and remain identically the same, irrespective of the "progress" at the top of the representational hierarchy. what does it help anyone or anything that i sit here and express this in context informed by a three to fiv
mircea_popescu: e millenary cultural tradition, when i'm expressing the exact same things expressed by a similar guy on a history half this tall ?
mircea_popescu: "oh but mp, jewface 4chan memes are so very DIFFERENT from 1418 easter celebration puppet shows" "i'm sure they are ; and i'm sure you'd know ; because i was there back then and didn't see you in the crowd, so logically you'd know and i wouldn't, hurr."
mircea_popescu: now how the fuck this invariance can exist in the first place, and how the fuck that seeming impossibility ~was implemented~, so that whether possessed of speech only, or of speech and the written word, or of speech + written word + pony express, or of all that + internet, boy still doesn't know what the fuck to say to girl AND ALL THAT... how, really. how ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the reason pogroms started happening sometime after 1100 or so and then stopped happening sometime aroun 1900 or so has absolotely NOTHING to do with "antisemitism" or "hatred", circle of ~ or not whatever. zilch whatsoever at all.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-07#1793892, Sorry asciilifeform, this is probably my very very stupid mistake, I checked the address I gave you just now and seem to have put in the old street I lived on with the new housenumber, postal address etc. I do not understand how this could be (both start with an A but other than that no match), and I am very sorry. If you are still willing to send the FG (I hope so) I will repost the address.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-04-07 16:09 asciilifeform: ave1: i regret to say that us post office has a new and fresh fascism , they returned the fg : 'return address must show full legal name' (it had 's.' , for many years was ok, nao apparently not ) . pretty good scam they run, get folx to pay twice for postage, resending. next they will reject because white envelopes will be disallowed, i expect..
mircea_popescu: pogroms started happening because the post-cluny society became economically interdependent to a degree where specific behaviours (as above) were required for its survival. as late as 900, everyone could be "for themselves", and mostly not starve, but by 1300 or so the ONLY chance of alimentary survival in western europe, all of england etc was co-operation. and the faithless behaviour is very much a bar to cooperation, and t
mircea_popescu: and pogroms stopped happening because as capitalism integrated this interdependency in a more comprehensible conceptual graph, they were no longer blindly necessary. and they're expensive as fuck, so. went bye-bye.
mircea_popescu: pointedly absent in all of this, any giving of a shit ~whatsoever~ about jews in their subjective sense, of "son of my mom" or w/e it is.
ave1: thx asciilifeform, will post it a little later!
mircea_popescu: so rather than taking the "perfidis judaeis" out of the catholic prayerbook, how about replacing all the instances of inept economy discussion on the internet about how 1000 people fish in a pond and then the pond loses productivity and bob comes up with the idea of not fishing so much but abraham BREAKS FAITH with what it fucking is. "the jew jewed the all-filter agreement, duh."
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm done. sorry for the lengthy log spill, it evidently should have been an article but sadly it dribbled into my head in bits and i never realised this.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, blog is a sorta notebook thing. Gotta start keeping notes on this shit for the terraforming.
BingoBoingo: Fat Forehead is first and foremost, an ITALIAN political creature. Only united in the sense that they all know they are losers.
mircea_popescu: "Today the Italians rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them... They invented socialism, communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so that they can enjoy equal rights with others. With these they have gained control of the most powerful countries and they, this tiny community, have become a world power."
BingoBoingo: It's what they get for teaming up with the Jews to kill baby Jesus
BingoBoingo: And Italians HATE freedom. Freedom means other people could do things and make them look bad. The Italian agenda means pushing to ban doing things
BingoBoingo: And having wrecked their own Italian, the Italians... like the J00z live in a diaspora

BingoBoingo: Apparently the tone is intentional. They claim most of their readership is under 24. Apparently in this narrative the kids following the millenials are "Generation Zyklon"
