mircea_popescu: and speaking of this, let's try an' resync with ben_vulpes also. after http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831355 and http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-25#1837688 haven't heard much. is this different from "i've found myself obscure rural church, much better republic for my needs than the genuine article" and if so, how ? ☝︎☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-07-02 18:05 ben_vulpes: lords and ladies, june pizarro statement will be late; my wife is experiencing an all-consuming major depression that will take all of my attention going forward. i am working with mod6 and asciilifeform to ensure continuity at pizarro.

mircea_popescu: an' finally, to be explicit rather than implicit : dear mats, while it's perfectly fine to be working with whichever lord you prefer to be working, if you don't enjoy working with me, but the place for that is in the respective castle. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: if i end up negrating you because i have nfi what you're doing, it's not strictly "mp is a meanie head" ; it can very well also be "i'm fucking terrible at communicating my position, end up run over by heavy machinery".

mircea_popescu: the overarching point being that neither #trilema nor tmsr is a sort of dilbert-larping-zone, here for the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845588 "salaried zek" element to gather after hours, smoke, and predictably if circularly discuss how-stupid-everyone-but-us-is. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: (for the curious : there's also a dilbert-for-women, there to make usg.womanhood palatable in the sense dilbert makes usg.corporatelife palatable. i suspect it might be a lot better illustration of wtf's wrong with "impotent cvasi-opposition" for boys, as they're not similarily conditioned and so lacking the pivots might even understand the workings of THAT hidden hand) ☟︎

lobbes: I am close (hopefully by end of this weekend) to finishing the genesis for the 'logbot-command-router' (see also #t log) After which I will be migrating the #eulora logotron residing on heathen Edis vps to Pizarro shared hosting

lobbes: The reason I am migrating, is contained in this thread >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-28#1845073 ☝︎

lobbes: Summary of the above threads: Edis vps finally got back to me after ~16hrs downtime with lame excuse of "we had some issues we never communicated. We identified the issue tho. Sry for inconvenience". I said "fuck em'" and will be moving logs to pizarro once done with current $unrelated-item

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the inane shit occupying my time instead of republican efforts is embarrassingly trivial, but since you ask: i'm moving to texas, and so now must wrap fence that was supposed to be a two-season relaxed affair by mid september; throw out a decade+ of crap that i shouldn't have been so lax as to let stick around in the first place, pack my whole existence into transpocubes, get it moved to the ☟︎

ben_vulpes: new destination, clean + lease the illiquid asset, and then set up shop in the new area

ben_vulpes: days are mostly wake -> grind out food credits -> grind out more holes in ground -> sink posts -> fabricate and erect cladding -> sleep, with the occasional beer

ben_vulpes: tenative schedule is to have current domus released by end of october and new digs established ~same time. ☟︎

ben_vulpes: i remain available and actively supporting mod6 and BingoBoingo when they need something from me on the pizarro front

mircea_popescu: lobbes well so wait, working log delayed until (close, hopefully) completing bot rewrite ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: this is a terrible arrangmeent, recall the onset of the (meanwhile, botched) pizarro wire/auction was a month ago, and waited for the same thing ?

hanbot: meh. installing znc on piz's shared box was a breeze, but actually getting the thing to connect to irc turns out to be a royal pain in the ass.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-27 23:46 mircea_popescu: ethereum being "smart", it's not just mempool, but also cpupool. and the "soft fork" being essentially a "enumerate badness" attempt, you still gotta check and make sure tx isn't on the verboten list. which computation you do for free, because you believe in mit, socialism and buterin.

mircea_popescu: because this is what the shit even exists FOR ; getting everyone to be a moron, only some with a positive and some with a negative inca outline is perfectly fine "getting everyone to be a moron" outcome, as far as inca's concerned.

mircea_popescu: wut do ? wut do ? http://trilema.com/2017/the-practical-costs-of-hallucinated-freedom/ ; specifically : for as long as every moron thinks he can make his own decisions, ugs's the necessary end result.

mircea_popescu: hanbot i've yet to meet someone who had to connect to freenode and liked it.

mircea_popescu: because really, who besides usg tryna fuck up irc has any interest in collecting emails to use it ?

mircea_popescu: precisely in the vein of "the usual imperial approach", "get emails!!!!" is on some 3 ring binder at ft meade or something, by how fixated they are.

a111: Logged on 2018-08-25 03:09 lobbes: in fact, was going to announce: I'm getting closer to finishing what will be a genesis for a 'logbot-command-router' in python that does the talking and listening with postgres (an older but relevant thread for context: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-29#1531123)

lobbes: And really, I misspoke. Not completely $unrelated_item because I am going to use said item to also build the new #eulora logotron off of (existing logotron is fed from ZNC, which I'd like to remove from the equation entirely)

lobbes: Still, I see what you mean. Was dumb of me to leave the 'legacy' logs dead in the water while folx wait for 'new and improved' logs. I'll work to get the legacy logs back to updating tonight.

mircea_popescu: alright. there's nothing wrong with "well... item i was working to rewrite for the past x weeks and was going to have done in 1-3 more weeks decided to critically crap out today ; my choice is either to be down for the remainder 1-3 weeks or else to duplicate/waste an estimate of y hours of work to get the old shiot back up hopefully by z. god damn." ☟︎

mircea_popescu: in fact, there's everything right with it : both communicates reality and provides hooks for the rest to help.

mircea_popescu: (i suspect, incidentally, that the above template is the #1 bane of republican effort in the years to come, chiefly because the #1 impedance mismatch we encounter is between uptime and rewrite, a manifestation of the old design-reality diphoria.)

mircea_popescu: but anyway, dun sound like much fun, i hope you're at least making some dough out of all this.

ben_vulpes: a bit, yeah. i've also lived in the same libtard shithole for nigh on three decades at this point; far past time to meet the rest of america. ☟︎

mircea_popescu is quite curious if this transparent trinque plan at starting a genuine fortress goes anywhere. ☟︎

ben_vulpes: im also evaluating this claim that the lone star state is somehow not the same thin plastic veneer over zamac the rest of the country's made of. it at least has endogenous oil stores and the locals carry a reputation for being profit minded

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes my first experience of texas was waking up in a small town which was having a ceremony that morning

mircea_popescu: whereby the mayor was awarding whatever cert to an 80yo lady who, while the diner where she was eating was being robbed at gunpoint,

mircea_popescu: pulled out an immense colt from her old lady purse and blew the kid's head all over the store. ☟︎

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-08-30 15:17 Mocky: as an aside, I discovered the rationale behind the need for CS threading library, and boost for that matter. i.e. that incoherent c++ memory model prevented reliable semantics for multi-threaded access beore c++11, so they rolled their own and in the process had to also roll compatible data structures

ben_vulpes: and should it suck, well, i've at least snipped the girl's attachment to the easy comfortable lifestyle of the pacnw

ben_vulpes: uruguay or sa most likely; while marseilles sounds lovely and i vastly prefer french to spanish it is unfortunately in france and so also the eu for the forseeable future. pretty fed up with not living near major airport hubs; access to surf also a criteria for expatquest

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i believe there's costs to sending people alone, esp if the idea is they'll be forever alone. seems to me either strengthen outposts or start new ones ~very far away~. otherwise, you know what gerrimandering is ?

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes france is not nearly as much "in the eu" as you think, especially the occitan portion. morever, europe is tiny, vienna is a short drive away, the vienna of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-18#1842767 ; and then hungary and serbia and so on. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: moreover, housing much better and much cheaper than anywhere in the world, local transportation that actually works (srsly, two digit airfare across the continent sorta deals).

ben_vulpes: i'd written europe off largely on the basis of 'natoreich', but if there are habitable holes i'd rather live in stone than plastic

mircea_popescu: well, "short drive". 800 or so miles, which to me still counts as "one day drive". as opposed to say 2.2k miles portland-austin.

mircea_popescu: but the deep reasdon europe is tiny is because there's ~no wilderness, everything's built up, you can walk from town to town in less than a day without exception (this is not coincidental, either, but deliberate, civilisational checkmark at a time before train was "from church to church in one day", and applied as such on us east coast for instance). there's roads everywhere, they're reasonably good (certainly better than neg ☟︎
