asciilifeform: 'hook, what hook, and what frying pan? you are a peculiarly long worm'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, ideally a bot that just eats a btc address and list of privkeys.

asciilifeform: and autointerfaces to a gox?! or how does it sell

asciilifeform: seems like a mighty flammable mix, to trust to a robot.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, look into that nationalist-stalinist dood i fished out. now THAT is some primo extinct species. i had nfi such extreme rarities even existed, in my book the only nationalist-stalinists were stalin himself and ceausescu. not even broz tito. but lo and behold, a french-dwelling irishman!

asciilifeform: aaactually loox like a standard limonov

asciilifeform: what i did not know, is that english-speaking specimens of this, exist

asciilifeform: but ireland is prime country for these, if they do, consider e.g. valera

mircea_popescu: actually... he's about exactly everything moldbug. except older version = better read.

asciilifeform: which limonov did mircea_popescu read, i now gotta ask

asciilifeform: ( today he's a burned out old fart, afaik. but if one reads his prison lit -- yes nationalist )

asciilifeform: 'historian' is definitely not how i'd describe eduard l. ( b. savenko ) d00d

asciilifeform: that one i have nfi about.

asciilifeform: aa this is very diff fella than the one asciilifeform sometimes mentions.

mircea_popescu: anyway, the foggiest of the foggy memories, jesus. but the mind will associate! through a fucking million lines, it will associate.

asciilifeform: btw, the 'true' limonov's masterlulz, was actually translated to english. for aficionados strictly : https://www.e-reading.club/bookreader.php/1002492/Limonov_Edward_-_Its_Me_Eddie.html

mircea_popescu: i thought it was mostly wank published by various french people ~about~ the funny friday fellow that someone imported to his salon.

mircea_popescu: incidentally, ro also has one of these, "check out the genuine afrussican". http://trilema.com/2011/mizerabilul-vasile-ernu/

asciilifeform: naa ^this one is autobio, from his time in usa

asciilifeform: where he, e.g., : 'I am on welfare. I live at your expense, you pay taxes and I don't do a fucking thing. Twice a month I go to the clean, spacious welfare office at 1515 Broadway and receive my checks. I consider myself to be scum, the dregs of society, I have no shame or conscience, therefore my conscience doesn't bother me and I don't plan to look for work, I want to receive your money to the end of my days. And my name is Edichka

asciilifeform: , "Eddie-baby."'

asciilifeform: 'You don't like me? You don't want to pay? It's precious little – $278 a month. You don't want to pay. Then why the fuck did you invite me, entice me here from Russia, along with a horde of Jews? Present your complaints to your own propaganda, it's too effective. That's what's emptying your pockets, not I.'

asciilifeform: 'Who was I over there? What's the difference, what would it change? I hate the past, as I always have, in the name of the present. Well, I was a poet, if you must know, a poet was I, an unofficial, underground poet. That's over forever, and now I am one of yours, I am scum, I'm the one to whom you feed shchi and rotten cheap California wine – $3.59 a gallon – and yet I scorn you. Not all of you, but many. Because you lead dull li

asciilifeform: ves, sell yourselves into the slavery of work, because of your vulgar plaid pants, because you make money and have never seen the world. You're shit!'

asciilifeform: enuff for the l0gz. who wants moar? go, read, weep.

mircea_popescu: the coupla hundred bucks is a problem in the feverish imaginations of campy characters scratching at the windows of the blackface performance.

asciilifeform: ( spoiler: d00d eventually went back to ru, had a beer hall putsch of sorts, jailed, sat, wrote buncha lulz, 1000s of pg of lulz, got out, now fringe politics d00d who walks around with swastica-hammersickle hybrid thing, sums to -- afaik -- 0 )

mircea_popescu: well, "poet", whatever. sorta like going around saying you're a homemaker.

asciilifeform: he was poet like yer dog is a sculptor.

mircea_popescu: what the fuck is that, using the human genome to implement a bird, give or take ?

asciilifeform: the translator sweated, however : 'My girl they will snatch / From the car by the nape / And I will then watch / The men commit rape '

mircea_popescu: yeah, it's uniformly terrible. as it happens i just rewatched the original american psycho.

mircea_popescu: "we here in america, colony of europe, think 7th grade schooling is great accomplishment"

asciilifeform: 'Fuck your world where there's no place for me, I thought in despair. If I can't destroy it, at least I'll die a fine death in the attempt, along with others like me. I had no concrete image of how this would come about, but from past experience I knew that he who seeks fate is always provided an opportunity; I would not remain without one.'

asciilifeform: anyway, for the entomologist.

asciilifeform will bbl.

mircea_popescu: in the end the summum of concerns boils down to "whose gray-on-white business card is better".

mod6: i remember the film. only watched it once though, probably around the time it came out.

mod6: indeed, guy was obsessed with which shade of white his business card was, or something :D

mircea_popescu: well, his principal problem isn't even that ; but rather that there isn't ~anything fucking there~. he'd like to have some sort of relationship with someone, but the problem is that he does not actually encounter anyone capable of it. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: because you know, obviously, if everyone gets to choose everything that happens to them, then necessarily there's no possibility of human interaction. hence http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-30#998185 ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2015-01-30 05:51 mircea_popescu: which is why i am not ever giving it up. the freedom to threaten is not merely my fundamental, unassailable sovereign property, but moreover essential for the construction of effectual instruments to squash the socialists and their golums.

mircea_popescu: (and obviously the choice will also be illusory, for the fundamental reason explained by qt in reservoir dogs : "if nobody knows anyone they're going to start arguing on scarce resource division ~AND NOT KNOW WHEN TO BACK DOWN~". nobody knows WHY they don't get to go to $exclusiverestaurant when they want to. nor can they know. so there's nothing to talk about.)

mircea_popescu: but anyway, imo american psycho should be watched in tandem with naked city. perfect america sandwich.

mircea_popescu: girls keep betting me they can distinguish the two apart, and then that's the last i hear on the matter.

lobbes: aha! I can confirm BingoBoingo's excellent guide works like a charm; php5.6 successfully built in ol' lobbes' rockchip

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-15#1799701 << esthlos, how'd you resolve this? I'm having the same issue with mp-wp saying php is missing the mysql extension, despite having the mysql USE flag set when I emerged php5.6.

phf: it's also that brief time of the year in maryland dc area when the weather is _good_. the rollercoaster of winter is past, but the swampy oppressive summer isn't here yet.

mod6: speaking of maryland, I saw that one town near baltimore had some raging torrents of rain rushing through the streets this weekend.

mod6: up here, we didn't even get a spring. few weeks back (it seems) was getting blizzards, now last weekend, it was 101 deg. F.

mod6: I'm hoping to get some vacation in, still trying to plan something. Nothing definite yet though.

mod6: Werd. I gotta remember to work on finding some time. Even if just a long weekened or whatever.

phf: there's a kind of white trash beach resort area 2 hours driving from dc "ocean city". i've been going there with some friends first day of summer for the past few years for that kitsch americana experience: all you can eat crabs, dirty east coast ocean, trashy girls. perfect :) ☟︎

asciilifeform: mod6 et al : i'm still interested in , at least in theoretical stage, a less-retarded replacement for dieharder

mircea_popescu: they don't earnestly try. that's the fucking point, when presented a paper car you don't ernestly try to drive it ; when presented a "social justice" truth / "Global warming" science etc religious nonsense you don't earnestly try to verify it. you're supposed to be excited and fucking clap, what the fuck, they're filming the advertising not asking you what you think.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was thinking re detail of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-29#1819365 : theoretically a pure shitcoin<->btc transmutator, does not need gox in the loop, if shitcoin ~buyers~ could be persuaded to visit it and buy ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-05-29 01:08 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, ideally interfaces with all the goxen.

asciilifeform: ( obvious problem -- the 'buyers' aint human, they consist solely of goxen, quite likely. still could outsource the chore of ferrying shitcoin to gox, and consider the two subsystems as independent )

asciilifeform: they appear to. however they also insist on various idiocies, 'accounts', '2factor'-whatevers, various caltrops to attempt to prevent precisely such automation

asciilifeform: it can be worked around, but game is probably not worth the candles, considering what folx are typically willing to pay for transmuting shitcoin

mircea_popescu: note that i was talking to jurov. considering he's intelligent and seems maybe interested (hard to tell, he's so quiet), and considering he's not currently doing anything, the marginal cost in republican terms is 0.

asciilifeform: right

mircea_popescu: the marginal utility is not 0, ill throw some ex-coin in the hopper if it's made.

asciilifeform: i suspect the result will be interesting mostly as a 'journal of negative results' item. ( gox, for instance, can quietly swallow coin, once it cottons on to who's using api, and why . asciilifeform's acct, last time around, was -- interestingly -- closed by goxkeeper , tho a coupla days too late to have any effect )

asciilifeform: sorta was my point : it isn't that no one can build a convenient ( from user pov ) transmutation reactor ! it can be built. but operation will inevitably involve good deal of regular sweat from the operator, negating most of the automation.

asciilifeform: setting up nodes to actually do the deed of shitcoin removal and movement, for instance, is ( at least in asciilifeform's experience last summer ) a first class bitch

asciilifeform: ( the folx running the 'shitcoin is worth something' theatre, have substantial interest in nobody actually running nodes but themselves , etc , this prolly is obvious to the alert reader )

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: electrum is poison

asciilifeform: you are operating nodeless, in effect, when you use it as replacement for own node.

ben_vulpes: i'm not using it as a node, i'm using it as a scalpel to slice flesh off altcoiners

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: same problem applies to using it to move shitcoins, as in bitcoin

asciilifeform: i.e. you are relying on somebody else's node .

asciilifeform: if you wouldn't move own bitcoin this way, why wouldja move own shitcoin (worth, nominally, a qty of bitcoin) with it. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, hey, at least documenting the lulz "everyone knows" where everyone takes value from the set of 5 folk who went to the same state street kindergarten we did...

asciilifeform: trinque: i dun think i've ever driven anything but 'beater car'

ben_vulpes: there are things for which i care about maintaining the tree of inputs that resulted in my balance, and there's ephemeral shit

a111: Logged on 2018-05-29 16:50 asciilifeform: if you wouldn't move own bitcoin this way, why wouldja move own shitcoin (worth, nominally, a qty of bitcoin) with it.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i guess we can revisit this hypothesis when somebody asks your bot to transmute 100btc worth of shitcoin, and hostile upstream node bamboozles yer electrum into sending it to hitler.

mircea_popescu: and if it blows up, in lieu of the product you give the victims a signed full description of what happened.

asciilifeform: sorta like, you dun care necessarily if somebody steals a turd that a bird shat into your garden. but on other hand, if somali pirates steal a tanker of guano from your guano fleet...

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: how would this bamboozling work, operator still supplies address to spend to

mircea_popescu: item is far, far from "no marginal utility", identified a bunch of significant valuable outputs from it.

ben_vulpes: afaik, the option to bamboozle is in withholding outputs or supplying synthetics

mircea_popescu: especially the 2nd order effect of "mandated post-mortems", none of that inept shit where freenode announces it was nsa infected, promises write-up, then forgets it did and replaces everyone involved.

asciilifeform: lol re fleanode -- this was at least... 3rd time? ( and that's merely since asciilifeform tuned in )

mircea_popescu: i'm just talking about the one they themselves identified, 3 years ago or so.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-19#1410185 << they wiped the old articles, note this goes to root now ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2016-02-19 15:24 mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> so now with https://blog.freenode.net/2016/02/recent-events-and-future-changes/ it is probably a good time to point out that i've been trying to get you people a server for maybe three years now. are you still unable to be helped or has that bad habit of the past changed also ? kloeri ? mist ? or who do i talk to.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i seem to recall electrum being one of those turds that ~nobody was able to get to even build, and ~all of the users used a binturd, which at least 1nce turned out to contain straight back orifice

asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu's pill, of limiting payload mass per shot, is prolly The Right Thing ( tho keep in mind that, given the erratic block production of typical shitfork, it will make for a quite slow and volatile dumping )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that , and last week's , and at least 1nce between the 2

mircea_popescu: anyway. rather than the transparent shenanigans, it is of greater concern that ~no one is on freenode. i mean, the fucktards in #lisp still, TO THIS DAY, haven't yet figured their way out of the paper bag of my asking "hey folk, would you like a candi_lustt ?".

mircea_popescu: there's 20k or whatever who connect, and 99% of the humans involved are on #trilema, it's ridiculous.

asciilifeform: ( and for some reason they announced it via spamatron ? or whole thing, disinfo? i've neither any idea, nor particularly care... http://logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro?d=2018-5-26#363971 )

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-26 18:13 Neru: Global Notice] Hello freenode, you may have noticed 2 days ago many users got logged out of their NickServ accounts. After our investigation, we have come to the conclusion one or more of our sponsored servers have been compromised. Please change your password IMMEDIATELY. More details are available in #freenode with the command !help

asciilifeform: ( consider, why in some chans but not other ? )

asciilifeform: https://freenode.net/news/services-maintenance-password-security << squidink in re last wk's lulz

asciilifeform: aha, pretty tedious

asciilifeform: 'Unfortunately, some people have used this opportunity to spread some misinformation, claiming that "all passwords have been released". This is not the case; there has been no threat to account security due to this incident. Additionally, we do not store passwords in a recoverable form at all.' << i've a bridge to sell.

mircea_popescu: the true part (there's no threat to account security) comes from the fact we don't even use their derpy scheme.

asciilifeform: iirc we still have a nonfatal headache potential baked in, if fleanode walks away somebody's nick

asciilifeform: ( or am i mistaken ? trinque , if can't use nick, can still auth with deedbot ? or not )

mircea_popescu: there's no "auth". there's just voice. and as douchebag aptly pointed out, if you change the name nothing happens.

asciilifeform: ( then apparently trinque fixed this and asciilifeform slept through )

asciilifeform: voice, i meant

mircea_popescu: we specifically took out the gribble "functionality" of "auth state" ; nanotube was to fix his bot to match but then opted to silently not to, ended up negrated for it.

asciilifeform: i thought he was negrated for desertion

trinque: deedbot doesn't require you be auth'd to nickserv, but does challenge you based on the nick with which you're speaking to it.

asciilifeform: aha, so not 100% cured , then ?

asciilifeform: iirc if nick is proper-banned, you can't sit in it even for 30s

trinque: if the circumstance arose where somebody lifted "asciilifeform" I wouldn't be opposed to changing the alias string for same key to "alfredalfer" as I've handled expired keys in the past, by proving control of key to me

mircea_popescu: trinque, eventually, the cost of inept hoops exceeds the cost of let's just move.

mircea_popescu: which is what's his interest in all this, i dunno why he recently figured out he wants a special irc network.

asciilifeform: lolrecently

trinque: asciilifeform: have you considered a decentralized design for an IRC replacement?

mircea_popescu: trinque, the whole fucking idea is to replace it once and good, with gossipd. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: wtf do i want to reimplement bs irc, end up with a dead genesis that we won't use.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the issue isn't whether we should have proper rt comms ; the issue is why the fuck would i want an intermediate step here. i don't, it's a great way to waste manhours.

asciilifeform: generally you wouldn't

asciilifeform: however it is not necessarily the case that it'd be a total writeoff. a irc frontend for gossip station would ( iirc we discussed this ) not be useless, it would eliminate the chore of writing chat clients

asciilifeform: so potentially the genesis would not be junk, but could be productively reused.

asciilifeform: ( naturally you'd run the frontend on localhost strictly )

asciilifeform: trinque: it's a valid q imho, tho, whether an adatronic irc oughta be baked

mircea_popescu: so far we're having some trouble getting the whole shebang to do eulora server, and so on.

asciilifeform: hm i thought the eulora server was up and going ??

asciilifeform: ( or was mircea_popescu trying to put it on arm box , and waiting for arm gnat ? )

mircea_popescu: you were there for the threads, neh, diana_coman working with ave1 to get it going ?

asciilifeform: right; however i do not currently grasp where it fits in ( i delivered and gentooized a large amd64 box for s.mg; thought it was to be eulora server )

asciilifeform: incidentally i have ave1's latest tarball queued up for testing at nightfall.

mircea_popescu: nobody's saying we don't have the parts or that they can't be made or anything.

trinque has for example been chewing through everything that moved out from under his last cuntoo build script.

asciilifeform: trinque: moved out ?

trinque: asciilifeform: yes, shitgnomes in both the gentoo and musl-overlay portage trees continued their brownian motion and diana_coman for example couldn't build, one day

asciilifeform: aaaaaaa tarballs

asciilifeform: trinque: would there be value in offering my /usr/portage/distfiles as a mirror ?

trinque: so I wont be making a release until I again have a whole-item which builds, and then there'll be a genesis vpatch for the portage tree, and goodbye emerge --sync, and layman, and every other external political dependency

asciilifeform: ( on dulap, it's only 900MB, incidentally )

asciilifeform: and also incidentally, every rockchip box contains a complete /usr/portage/distfiles reflecting every single item present on that box ( as i emerged world prior to making master image )

trinque: there'll be a whole archeological process of making vpatches for useful ebuilds, but the initial item needs to be small as possible

asciilifeform: trinque: imho the rockchip set is your best bet then. it is as minimal as i knew how to make.

asciilifeform: ( keeping in mind that it includes no musltronicity patches )

asciilifeform: anyone who doesn't have it -- can extract it trivially from http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2295 ball

trinque: what moved is the constellations of musl and non-musl versions of ebuilds; gotta align the stars again, then take a picture

asciilifeform: ^ signed, observe, as 'found turd'

asciilifeform: ^ yes, there is a asciilifeform-signed curated gentoo set !

asciilifeform: there's nothing specifically arm-istic about it, either, same tarballs as used on x86 boxen

asciilifeform: the only variant src item is the kernel ( it has rockchip-specific modules )

asciilifeform: full src is in all of the rk boxen.

mircea_popescu: the concept of "political dependency" is actually a rather important one. it most valuably organizes the world.

mircea_popescu: there's meaning derived from meaning and then there's meaning derived from authority, and the shitgnomes trying to pretend equality only confuses matters.

asciilifeform: the set of 'meanings derived from meaning' accessible in practical work is quite small.

asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform works on expanding it, but it is a very painful uphill climb )

mircea_popescu: but obviously, one direct measure of "getting away from marxism-leninism" is "how much shit needs stalin notes".

asciilifeform: ahaha yes the 'science' where 'can haz rawdata.txt ?' 'fuckoff terrorist'

mircea_popescu: "the world", don't you know. which world ? "oh, you know, the imaginary item we produced". what we ?

asciilifeform: trinque: dun forget to install the usg root certs!111111

asciilifeform: ( without which, lulzily, won't even see usg.google.* )

asciilifeform: upstack : congrats to BingoBoingo , subscriber of the last ( in pilot plant ) rockchip !!

asciilifeform: all 6 units currently occupied !

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in recent lulz : asciilifeform ran into the d00d in http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-start-your-own-country-adnotated/ , in meatspace

asciilifeform: turns out, he's burned out ex-physics , 1960s mit.

asciilifeform: 'quit , didn't want to be yet another grunt on yet another particle collider', went into ordinary engineering.

asciilifeform: d00d in his, iirc, 90s. so i ask him about ye olde 'sealand isp'. he waves hand, 'eh, was lame, they could do nothing serious because upstream net access was easily cut'

asciilifeform: then he conceded, more or less, that the whole 'micro-nations' crackpottery, was lame, for more or less the reasons described by mircea_popescu .

asciilifeform: also revealed ( not in confidence, this was party with buncha folx ) that thiel ( apparently, friend of his ) is still pushing it, and is frustrated re 'lack of young people with any sense' , 0 takers to crew the lulztanker.

asciilifeform: thiel, apparently, built ( threatened to build? i dun follow the subj... ) a tanker, anchor somewhere, and play similar game to orig 'sealand' . what he lacks, however is the business model ( apparently sealand had a business model, and raked in some dough , briefly -- britain had no commercial radio, at one time, and sealand 'pirate' station accepted ads from brits , paid through proxies )

asciilifeform: ( cursory look at heathendom sources suggests that thiel's thing is finally, as of mar. 2018, properly dead and buried )

jurov: asciilifeform: i understand you like to blow your fuses over electrum, but I do *not* use electrum online, only the code.

asciilifeform: jurov: what means 'only the code' ?

jurov: I feed it inputs and keys manually via the console, then paste resulting shitcoin transaction somewhere. That's why I said it's somewhat slow.

asciilifeform: jurov: and how do you know what the transaction the closedblob output, is ? i.e. that it goes to the addr you gave (i.e. the gox's) rather than some other ?

asciilifeform: so jurov you actually got electrum to build ?

asciilifeform: i mean the item you mentioned above. that generates tx.

asciilifeform: jurov please don't dance around my q, you know exactly what i'm asking

asciilifeform: are you or are you not using a binturd to generate shitcoin transactions.

asciilifeform: electrum.

asciilifeform: and you read it ?

asciilifeform: ok, ty.

asciilifeform: jurov: plz consider posting a signed (with disclaimers, if you like) tarball ?

asciilifeform: of the thing that you read.

asciilifeform: Mocky: there's quite a few folx here who use non-emacs editors

asciilifeform hasn't met many emacsists who say anything other than 'i use grudgingly'

asciilifeform: emacs is a massively tall rock of local maximum surrounded by ocean of boiling liquishit.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm almost surprised you dun write it with http://www.loper-os.org/pub/podvig_radista.jpg terminal. ☟︎

Mocky: I used emacs for a while and didn't strictly hate it, although i did strictly hate elisp

asciilifeform: mod6: apr 2015

asciilifeform: possibly feels like this because, i suppose, different epoch.

asciilifeform: ( c2 feels, to asciilifeform , even 'longer ago', epochally -- even such a basic thing as trb, say, did not yet exist )

asciilifeform: even v, started at end of aug of '15 -- months after c3

asciilifeform remembers finding it odd that kako did not appear at c3

asciilifeform: objectively odd, ye olde bbet was not only still in the saddle but riding at its peak...

asciilifeform didnt drive there either, lol

Mocky: vim, I could never get used to having modes. didn't feel right. but I know a lot of people like it

mircea_popescu: how did that go, "to obtain random strings on linux, give a windows person vim and ask them to exit"

esthlos: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-27#1819254 << well, if you can find problems with my v implementation, i'd be grateful. any testing is appreciated, really ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-05-29 05:56 lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-15#1799701 << esthlos, how'd you resolve this? I'm having the same issue with mp-wp saying php is missing the mysql extension, despite having the mysql USE flag set when I emerged php5.6. Full details of my issue here: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/zNr0A/?raw=true

ben_vulpes: esthlos: what'd you do for theming? i just took a look at "toolbox" at BingoBoingo's request, have you ever touched that?

esthlos: ben_vulpes: I took the default theme (Kubrick), ripped out most of the php, and tweaked the css. at some point I plan to go through https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development and develop a proper theme, but I've placed it as low priority

esthlos: I also killed the part of wordpress which adds line breaks to raw html code, which I will make a vpatch for at some point

esthlos: lobbes: yeah, not arm. based on https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-lang/php the arm64 coverage looks bad

mod6: <+asciilifeform> possibly feels like this because, i suppose, different epoch. << true enough, Sir.

mod6: <+Mocky> vim, I could never get used to having modes. didn't feel right. but I know a lot of people like it << Vi/M can have a steep learning curve, but once you're good at it, it can ramp up your efficiency quite a bit imho. however, if you need something simple, there's always 'nano' or whatever.
