mircea_popescu: so reading historical qntra or should i say hysterical qntra is quite the fucking riot, but, BingoBoingo or anyone, where\s the article about the moronic french "agents" that texted to their "jihadist" suspect ?
mircea_popescu: "The incident came as France remains under a state of emergency declared after the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks.
mircea_popescu: Some of the emergency measures, notably beefed up police powers, are to be made permanent under a bill that has been approved by the lower house of parliament, the National Assembly.
mircea_popescu: Despite criticism that the legislation risks curtailing civil liberties because it codifies measures such as stop and seizure and house arrest without judicial review, most of the provisions are expected to stand."
BingoBoingo: The texting the Jihadi incident happened during the way too long downtime
mircea_popescu: though it turns out it was during the time of qntra forced silence

esthlos: last post 2017/12/30, the WIP Cuntoo installer
ben_vulpes: i see manifest draf, art car parade, and then the cuntoo instapper
mircea_popescu: anyway, likely problem is trinque's blog doesn't neatly redirect changed names ?
esthlos: mircea_popescu: nice, thanks
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: seems to do that as well
mircea_popescu: in other items of little interest, holy shit ben affleck is a repugnant, fucktarded enemy of human civilisation.
mircea_popescu: so he makes this piece of shit thing, "gigli" right ? and it's "mobster" (because he's cool, right ? like, cool kid ?) meets retard and discovers how cool retards really are!!!
mircea_popescu: it could happen to you too! and if it didn't, it's because you're nopt as cool as hebe shit-fleck, doing inept "check me out, mom, i have sex fantasies with harvey keitel" monologues in laundromats.
mircea_popescu: whole fucking pile also incidentally providing a vehicle for that moron dancer girl what's her name, to pretend like a name can possibly be wasted on her dumb ass. "condition of women" holy shit, she's a poor immigrant dancer already.

mircea_popescu: how the fuck to these assholes manage to reconstruct stalinism without stalin!
ben_vulpes: i must have missed it, may i have a pointer?
mircea_popescu: anyway, item is going to be delivered below the original estimate you had anyway, from what i gather.
esthlos: doh, I had trinque's ip set to the old in /etc/hosts, from when I tried to follow mircea_popescu 's advice and disable dns lol
mircea_popescu: in other news, toasted almonds, black chocolate and milk coffee ftw.
spyked: ^ comments, suggestions, tomatoes and eggs are more than welcome.
spyked: my next steps will be, in order: 1. add prefixed commands to trilemabot (and publish); 2. add (and publish) command and parsing for !!gettrust queries (required for rss bot access control); 3. rebase current rss bot on trilemabot and add access control; 4. bring rss bot in #trilema; 5. publish rss bot code
spyked: step 5 will probably need to be broken into multiple sub-steps, since I will have to also publish a rss parser first, then a rss bot design document, and only then the code.
spyked: aaaand rssbot code currently weighs circa 400LoC, so I'ma probably also have to break that into testable pieces. not sure yet.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-04 17:35 phf: i think someone else here had a lisp implementation, but that one lacked comments entirely
a111: Logged on 2018-06-04 17:36 mircea_popescu: i'm just saying, it's not ~just~ mp-wp that's an eyesore here. in truth it's our whole relationship to the www that's at issue.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-04 17:26 mircea_popescu: phf, it also has the advantage that it works, and VERY well. which to my knowledge is not true of any other piece of web software (alf's complaints notwithstanding, phuctor emergent codebase may qualify)
a111: Logged on 2018-04-15 04:19 mircea_popescu: hanbot / everyone : speaking of patches for mp-wp, here's something i'd dearly love : a MASS uploader. so you don't have to upload files one by one in the webinterface.
spyked: scaffolding), a xml-rpc handling mechanism, and many many others that the wp user may find useful; it has no dedicated db, the db is the filesystem; no web-based editor, etc.
spyked: I'm reserving another bot for the rss functionality. but I want to use spykedbot to make a small trilemabot example for implementing prefixed commands. spoiler: I have some code that looks up definitions in asciilifeform's ro-en dictionary (
http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2211 ), it's the smallest application that I could find that also does something useful.

phf: resolves to 82.79.58.192 for me
☟︎ phf: i like trinque's approach of publishing deeded hosts, requires vigilance on part of log reader, but at the end there's a canonical place we can fallback to, in case
mircea_popescu: yes. his intuition is correct, eventually will grow into gns.
mircea_popescu: spyked, the first portion is interesting imo. why shouldn't anyone be able to live comments ? something in the vein of "if every tree was carved any time anyone on the trail thought about some girl, we'd have toothpick forests" ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: commentary is the heart of the european intellectual tradition ; originally it seemed like such a step forward to have this commentary sorted by subject rather than, in the old style, by author. and the technology allowing it seemed genuinely revolutionary for this reason, exactly in the vein of plumbing.
mircea_popescu: "thetarpit blog scaffolding is a few kLoC of CL, but lacks *any* editor-side interface" << understand something : i publish more than anyone, and by anyone we don't mean solo operators, we mean whole fucking outfits. there's a reason for this. the fact that trilema is comfortable to me provides those last edges of extra productivity and intellectual leverage that convert exceptional performance into mindblowing performance. t
☟︎ mircea_popescu: his is not a small matter, but in fact the only large matter.
mircea_popescu: in short, that's a ~HUMONGOUS~ cost, if the "mechanical support" alters the result from + to -.
mircea_popescu: there's coffee machines that make you not really want any coffee. this is not merely a bad coffee machine.
mircea_popescu: you wanna drive cars that make you love driving and wanting to drive, not jalopys that encourage you sitting on the couch. and the same for everything everywhere. the stories about kids ruined for school because couldn't see and no glasses aren't made up, this was the scourge of a generation. and on it goes.
phf: i think anti-comment is a recent (3-4 years) argument, started by a bunch of "high profile bloggers", who, after running into some heavy polemic, turned off the comments on their sites. the argument was then picked up by the various "minimalist" blogging systems (we can't be arsed to implement comments, but kottke said they are useless anyway)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: dangling em in the footnotes
mircea_popescu: "high profile bloggers" figure status and performance should be divorceable. this happens about 2-3 times every decade, with a new crop of "high profile bloggers" who a) misjudge their status and b) figure they'll discover shit.
mircea_popescu: ti's very much highschooler syndrome. "oh, i guess we're the seniors now" "why ?" "do you see any other seniors in the cafeteria ?" "well, not in the cafeteria you go to" "word."
mircea_popescu: btw, i hope that's adequate payment for all the j/p spam ?
phf: well, it's how many childhood games have the notion of a charm, a special word that gives you coveted status, without further strife. "base", "not it", "shotgun", etc. likewise the idea that once you're king, it's just wine and dancing girls for the rest of your life. the labeling game on which the whole house of cards is built.
mircea_popescu: myeah. but it's so mean, you know, "oh, if we turn off comments then nobody will be able to rise to the top anymore ha-HA!!! we figured out something fundamental here!"
mircea_popescu: it's this specific breakage, the web keeps exposing. there's apparently two ends to the pendulum : on one hand, the net routes around damage ; on the other hand, the more it does that, the more excited the damage gets about getting in the way.
mircea_popescu: hence imbecile nonsense a la "paywall garden". because no, steve jobs ain't no fucking genius, he came up with the exact same idiocy every group of idle 18yos came up with.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would people who ~fundamentally disenjoy~ something nevertheless want to be "high profile" in it... this part is incomprehensible. really, talking to people is something you dislike doing and then you figure you wanna be a "high profile blogger" ? "yes mp, because it's all about shaping the landscape, not enjoying the landscape". right ? fucktard mcdullardson is going to ~improve~ upon how the world works.
mircea_popescu: and their improvements always are the same tired old farmwife bs.
mircea_popescu: and this is not something they ever notice. and so fucking on, bleah.
phf: well, it's the old age comes for us all, none of them want to be césar luciani, and very few prepared to knowingly don the armor one last time and die under the hail of arrows so to speak. (and i'm giving them a lot of credit here as far as how they lived to begin with)
mircea_popescu: this'd be the problem. yes in the old days there was the lich and all that discussion. but fucking mind you that koschei was A WARRIOR in his fucking youth.

ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: is there a selection anchor missing from the key link?
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: No, the point is that it is a giant, visually impressive style of key, but the lock parts it engages with are palpable with the tip of the pinky finger.

ben_vulpes: place i rented had the weirdest damn nonstick pan: it had a nonstick coating but then an elevated metal grate atop the coating
