BingoBoingo: !up Vexual
hanbot: okay got the planned patch spaghetti untangled, ty asciilifeform. mod6 volunteered to let me torture him tomorrow with release issues. i'll report on how all this goes.
Vexual: taste the soup
Vexual: 6-year box still noncom ascii?
Vexual: incomm?
asciilifeform: same as before
Vexual: did you check the clock?
Vexual: lol
Vexual: recheck?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 67700 @ 0.00054115 = 36.6359 BTC [-] {2}
Vexual: u suspect blacklist?
BingoBoingo still wonders where the small machines are with ECC and 2+ sata II ports
Vexual: why u hate on bigger machines?
Vexual: oh, right
BingoBoingo: Vexual: Bigger machine harder to carry across border in ass
BingoBoingo: And more expensive to colo
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: nobody's coloing a 'miracast'
asciilifeform: though i showed mine to diametric today and he pointed out that the 802.11 daughterboard speaks standard usb through those 4 pins
asciilifeform: so potentially one could remove it, replace with a usb 'a' jack
asciilifeform: and insert a normal human ethernet card
Vexual: aslo ascii: battery powered iron??
asciilifeform: Vexual: i like'em - lightweight and easier for precision work, on account of not having two metres of mains cable dragging behind it
BingoBoingo: miracast seems to have lots of potential as NuisanceNet
Vexual: im asounded that you balcony doesnt have a proper station
asciilifeform: Vexual: i don't keep nice things out of doors
asciilifeform: the climate makes short work of anything ferrous
BingoBoingo: Similar here, except for a brief window in 2012 when it was 110+F and California like drought
phf: so the end result of incitatus going online was an exercise in sending a version packet to a node to elicit some sort of response
phf: so if you do that whole socket-connect, write-command, and then (read-byte (usocket:socket-stream *sock*)) you should be getting bytes back, because the node is primed to talk to you
asciilifeform: between this and the block parser, we have maybe a quarter of a cl implementation of bitcoin here...
phf: not surprisingly incitatus doesn't respond
asciilifeform: 365910 atm
asciilifeform: barely 200 blocks in one day

phf: so something /is/ coming through? that's trully odd
asciilifeform: it is exactly like the situation roughly a month ago with mircea_popescu's node.
asciilifeform: which spontaneously resolved when we started discussing it in detail here.
asciilifeform: i'ma let it run until it syncs, and then dump the blocks that ~did~ get through
asciilifeform: and post them publicly
asciilifeform: then i will cancel the contract with that hoster.
BingoBoingo likes how corenetworks has had a teaser colo page forever and done nothing to that end.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it is a cheap and largely forgotten dc, like 1,001 others

mod6: hanbot: so, this might help you, it's worth a read through anyway -- it's a script that I created to pull down v0.5.3.1-RELEASE, and then add ascii's recent patches up through verifyall [ read the script for all that are applied ]: http://dpaste.com/23VKWD8.txt
mod6: If you run that script in a directory say ~/sandbox then you can `cd bitcoin-v0_5_3_1` `mkdir -p ourlibs distfiles` - then pull down the boost/bdb/openssl and drop them in distfiles. then finally drop in stator.sh into the ~/sandbox/bitcoin-v0_5_3_1-RELEASE dir and kick it off. that should do the trick.
mod6: I've probably done a dozen builds this way in the last 2 weeks.
mod6: Anyway, yeah, we can go through it tomorrow. I've also got some curl commands to pull down the distfiles:
mod6: curl "http://openssl.org/source/old/1.0.1/openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz" -s -o distfiles/openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz
mod6: curl "http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.tar.gz" -s -o distfiles/db-4.8.30.tar.gz
mod6: boost="http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost" ; curl -L "$boost/1.52.0/boost_1_52_0.tar.bz2 -s -o distfiles/boost_1_52_0.tar.bz2"
mod6: those three command should be run from ~/sandbox/bitcoin-v0_5_3_1
BingoBoingo: Anyone running OpenBSD and radeon graphics. 5.7 seems to actually improve quite a bit over 5.6 in this front.
mod6: Anyone else looking to build the same thing by hand (as opposed to just using stator as is) can use this above process ^^ for now.
mod6: At some point here we'll have a pre-patched source bundle that will be like a release candidate. I'm workin on it :]
Vexual: :)
trinque: mod6: thanks for the script
trinque: great way for us casuals to keep up with what's going on
mod6: anytime :]
mod6: oh, i noticed a mistake above in my text, there is no such dir as 'bitcoin-v0_5_3_1-RELEASE', it's simply 'bitcoin-v0_5_3_1'. hope that doesn't trip anyone up too badly.
phf: asciilifeform: can now receive messages back
phf: #S(MESSAGE-MESSAGE :START-STRING #(249 190 180 217) :COMMAND-NAME "version" :PAYLOAD-SIZE 85 :CHECKSUM #(250 5 185 54)) came from the node and the checksum verifies

asciilifeform: what is the 'cultural war' referenced earlier?
asciilifeform: brothel vs harem ?
mircea_popescu: not quite. let's see...
mircea_popescu: the african view on women, somewhat seen in things like "bros before hos" is that they are a numerary commodity. the muslim view on women, somewhat visible in burkas et all, is that they are a funciary commodity. to use the terminology suggested by our young friend with a california shop to be.
mircea_popescu: dja understand the distinction ?
asciilifeform: fungibility ?
mircea_popescu: not exactly. no muslim would try to provide his social proof by lining up a bunch of women behind him.
mircea_popescu: which is why young men are treated that certain way in islam. gotta have a numerary commodity, and money can't be it.
mircea_popescu: (because they're retarded)
asciilifeform: ('bros before hos' (tm) (r) is not strictly african, but almost literally exists as a maxim among ru outlaw folks)
mircea_popescu: russians are african.
asciilifeform: aha in that sense, yes!
mircea_popescu: whereas muslims, contrary to the bum job they're getting, are actually quite consumately decadent.
mircea_popescu: golden crescent, a sort of its very own rhine valley.
mircea_popescu: anyway. a funciary commodity, ie like land in medieval europe, is the good that makes all other goods.
mircea_popescu: a numerary commodity, ie money in jewish europe, is the good that measures all other goods.
mircea_popescu: there are numerous points where these orthogonal concerns come into objective conflict, which is always resolved culturally.
mircea_popescu: wherein hitting an idiot over the head repeatedly is patently a cultural process.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is kinda why putin is so amusing to me personally. he's basically trying to preach a jewish sort of islam to russians!
mircea_popescu: it's the laugh of all time.

mod6: So in addition to lastnight's script I posted [ pulls down ascii's latest patches (up through -verifyall) and applies them to v0.5.3.1 ], I've got an updated one that i've just tested & worked for me on x86-64 gentoo w/glibc: http://dpaste.com/2F68T3F.txt
mod6: This one will do the same as the one before, except this will create the dirs, pull the 3rd party packages, and build "stator" directly though this script. Please read the script. `realpath`, `gnupg` and `curl` are required.
liquidassets: mircea_popescu this cultural war where women are thought to be numerar or funciara is this to say a cultural war where one side is trade for trades sake (pecunia non olet) and the other side is more like fuck your money death before dishonor! Either way with men being the agent either trading women or claiming them as their own as in free hold absolutely.
mircea_popescu: i will need that in the form of a question.
liquidassets: is a funciary commodity something you hold as a free hold absolute as you would property?
liquidassets: is this the distinction between numerar which is about being fungible and easily traded?
mircea_popescu: you're not making any sense.
mircea_popescu: a commodity is a commodity. why's property enter into this ?
mircea_popescu: in other words : forget whether you own it or don't own it. the cogent question is, do you want it ?

trinque: the latter
trinque: didn't want to bother with why, so I built in the VM then copied the binary out
mod6: stick them in a directory like `sandbox`
mod6: once pulled down do this `sha1sum stator_7447d6ad798179d04e9d277acb72799b3c7d0eae.tar.gz stator_72424e6da0f81aea5ab09165c377fd8b7418983f.tar.gz.sig` and ensure that the output hashes match what's embedded in the file name.

mircea_popescu: hanbot once delving into it, this proves to be anything but straightforward i surmise ?
mod6: ok. so the stator tarball contains all of the relivant packages. I think by linking you to all of his patches are applied therein.
mod6: err s/packages/patches
hanbot: mircea_popescu well in my technically handicapped judgement, which may or may not be a viewpoint worth considering
mod6: that was poorly worded. i wouldn't bother trying to go through that list of emails unless what you want to do is this: download & extract v0.5.3.1-RELEASE and go through every email, one by one, and patch by hand.
trinque: could just read all the patches in that script you did
mod6: which is totally doable. there are like ~12 patches up through -verify all
hanbot: mod6 that's exactly what i want to do. after all, the mailing list is the reference point, no?
mircea_popescu: mod6 well look, it's not a meaningless problem. "what's the reader supposed to do". going through the list and following the tree seems sensible.
mod6: !up ascii_field
hanbot: (not every single patch on the mailing list, just the 8 needed for stator)
mod6: it is a reference point. the good news is, most of the patches that depend on other patches are linked backwards in the emails (by ascii) and have notes that say "depended upon by <a href=..."
mod6: but there are a lot of other patches in there that are not a part of that line or "branch" perhaps?
mircea_popescu: it's like the ultimate reference point. all ulterior repackaging may add convenience, but can't contradict it, basically.
hanbot: mod6 yep, i doublechecked asciilifeform's list as linked above, complete & correctly ordered
mod6: so a lot to look out for... certainly not for the faint of heart. you really hvae to keep up in here and on the list to realize what's going on.
mod6: at least ... lol, i do.
mod6: So then.
mircea_popescu is curious what comes of this.

trinque: hanbot: glibc should already be on there; it is the C standard library most commonly in use on linux
trinque: "static" would be in reference to how your bitcoind is built against it and other libraries
trinque: that said I could be wrong, and perhaps the files required to statically link are in a separate package
trinque: apt-cache search <package name fragment> is useful for finding packages

punkman: trinque, you could recompile and make it skip that one, find the next weird one

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but the virility, audacity etc aside, and the guy's very seductive smile aside - he wasn't very intelligent.
mircea_popescu: this is a problem. and, much more importantly - he failed. he failed uniformly, predictably, throughout. hard to see past this.
asciilifeform: the intelligent are sitting in some cellar, cranking out nth numerical approximations to schrodinger's eq. for system of five atoms.
asciilifeform: not cutting throats
mircea_popescu: meanwhile any random mexican cartel owner is right now out of jail and if he's in he's running a brothel of the guards.
mircea_popescu: this is patently untrue.
decimation: managed to get loads of betas in frats to wear his face
mircea_popescu: decimation this is already suspicious.
mircea_popescu: haven't seen that many lambs in lion tshirts so far.
asciilifeform: i am broadly unconvinced that mr cartel is in any sense more intelligent than che. more narrowly focused, yes.
mircea_popescu: i was speaking as to success.
mircea_popescu: intelligence is a more... spiritual problem.
trinque: I'm not much convinced che's anything other than a celebrity
trinque: *was
trinque: or that populist movements like that are at all desirable
mircea_popescu: right. i suppose to bring this to an edge, we could ask alf to explain difference between jack warner and clark gable in terms of che.
mircea_popescu: so whioch is he ? gable also had a "very seductive smile".
mircea_popescu: and died broke if memory serves.
asciilifeform: trinque: getting killed by a dedicated usg death squad is an exam of sorts. can one pass this exam and not be someone worth considering ?
trinque: eh I could get myself done that way this evening if I wanted
trinque: hehe
trinque: but I see what you mean
asciilifeform: DEDICATED
asciilifeform: not some street cop
asciilifeform: as in, folks who board five unmarked planes to get to where you're dug in
trinque: I will admit to reading about various revolutions over the years wondering "where's mine?"
BingoBoingo actually pretty pumped about hearing tomorrow
asciilifeform has been wondering this since he was 4 y.o
decimation: more likely: haho jump from the next border
mircea_popescu: srsly ?!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you gonna blog about it ?
trinque: asciilifeform: need "force amplifier" like your "mind amplifier" and forget about the derps
trinque: I don't think anything good can come of anything which requires populist buy-in
decimation: revolution is the last thing anyone should want
asciilifeform: address all inquiries re: force multipliers to herr tesla
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The aftermath likely. Dun want to tip the hand too early.
decimation: a bunch of crazy egotist adventurers taking power
mircea_popescu: trinque the better q, of course, being what are you going to say ?
mircea_popescu: this entire "my revolution" thing seems to me a lot like "i wanna be on a stage, like carlin!" well ok. and to say what ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: mhm, and I don't claim at this moment to have a proposal
asciilifeform: 'populist buy-in' is what we have now.
mircea_popescu: then why'd you care ?
mircea_popescu: a lot of thankless, boring work, that.
phf: revolutions look like fun though, "we were trully free on the barricades", that's why all those bored aristocrats would travel to third world countries, if they failed to start shit up at home. positive long term effects not so much
decimation: I like this 'new barbarian' guy
mircea_popescu: phf they ARE fun, yes. but only for the stupid.
asciilifeform: see also limonov
mircea_popescu: organised crime is also fun. also for the stupid.
trinque: mircea_popescu: I'm gonna die anyway, and this sucks.
decimation: follow his advice, be tribal, give less of a shit about govt
asciilifeform: what trinque said.
asciilifeform: and limonov was there in 1995.
asciilifeform: even re: the 'tribal' bit.
mircea_popescu: this is all fine, but there's a bridge between "my cunt itches" and "i'm married now"
mircea_popescu: is there even ?
trinque: hahaha
asciilifeform: very easy to 'give less of a shit about govt' all the way until you find yourself trying the 'be tribal' thing in a usg death camp.
mircea_popescu: see ? not so fun for the stupid. "true freedom" comes from a neglect of consequences.
trinque: I figure I'll keep educating myself and getting ahead, and see what happens in a decade.
phf: i move few blocks away from where they burned down MOVE compound. though those guys were genuinely .. not quite there
mircea_popescu: whosoever can not do this is stuck being a bureaucrat not a revolutionary, no mattert the context.
decimation: meh. usg doesn't have the energy to startup death camps
decimation: and they would likely be easy to escape
asciilifeform: they are already in business
asciilifeform: go escape from fed pen.
mircea_popescu: decimation obviously trhey'd be outsourced.
mircea_popescu: the 100 mn business majors looking to change the world in the US notably ARE energetic enough to run macdonalds.
BingoBoingo: mircea I mean https://archive.is/ChrKw happened. I don't want to say "civil case" may be in the pipes, but... thank scientology http://www.holysmoke.org/sdhok/slap-can.htm

mircea_popescu: i am bracving myself for the "sociology of sociologists of obscure fields" phd.
phf: mircea_popescu: i see now what you mean by "for the stupid", re "neglect of consequences". i always thought that was a character flaw though, not necessarily sign of intelligence
trinque: mircea_popescu: I think seeing the world as it is, one imagines there could be another where there are leaders with as you say, interesting things to do
mircea_popescu: a lot could be said about it, let aside that nobodyu'd care, so why shouldn't a phd be offered ? once it's offered, why should it wear a red striope in its id, "this shit's pointless nutso stuff fopr rich people" ?
mircea_popescu: and then get clueless working cl;ass kids thinking "it's theiur calling" because totally, that's how the world works, with "Callings"
mircea_popescu: phf well if you can explain the difference between these two...
mircea_popescu: trinque not for most people.
asciilifeform: actual revolution means that 25 y.o. schmuck can transform to commander with personal death authority over ten thousand.
asciilifeform: overnight.
mircea_popescu: authority, sure.
asciilifeform: this is appealing for perfectly reasonable, if not practical, reasons.
mircea_popescu: random derp who inherits a wall street firm, also authority.
asciilifeform: random derp 'chose parents carefully'
mircea_popescu: which brings us right back to, "what do you wish to say, anyway"
decimation: it's possible the derp could be Napoleon
mircea_popescu: because, mind, if you actually got something to say might as well say it.
mircea_popescu: and if you don't, why even bother with the trappings.

asciilifeform: trying to formulate a hypothesis here
mircea_popescu is all ears.
asciilifeform: re: what is appealing about violent upheavals
asciilifeform: for the 'armchair general'
mircea_popescu: ah, that's plainly obvious. they;'re appealing like rape is appealing. their bloody violence is sexually satisfying.
decimation: it's appeal to Napoleon to finally rule the world
asciilifeform: the idea of biodieseling the sclerotic aristos and their imbecile offspring is appealing to healthy folks, imho
trinque: doesn't my being embedded in the world necessitate being concerned with its state?
trinque: if I care about myself in the slightest?
asciilifeform: for the same reason why pink prime gurlflesh is more appealing than the circus horrors BingoBoingo linked
decimation: asciilifeform: the thing tends to feed itself. the new army officer's position depends on the old officers being exiled, thus they are married to the adventure
trinque: asciilifeform: everyone likes when a shithead gets his; is laughter for anything else?
asciilifeform: is it better to be married to a desk ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so you see it's sexual.
mircea_popescu: trinque it doesn't follow you should give a shit about yourself ; it doesnt follow even admitting that the world is of interest.
asciilifeform: in more or less the same sense that all other vigorous and healthy activity is sexual
decimation: well, desk isn't as exciting, if safer
trinque: mircea_popescu: who says should, I do
mircea_popescu: ah, sure then.
phf: i guess if your life is dull, might be better to be limonov. so it's a wish fulfillment, i.e. "when the zombies come i'll be the badass survivalist guy". i'm still not sure why byron did it though
mircea_popescu: normally "necessitate" is a hidden should.
decimation: plus, maybe if the 25 year old is Napoleon you can get rich on some awesome loot
mircea_popescu: phf why byron "did it" = had a bunch of chlorotic virgins say stupid shit about him ?
phf: heh, fair
mircea_popescu: decimation sure, rich like the chiabur.
asciilifeform: when considering what byron's likely alternatives were...
asciilifeform: did not want to marry desk. i respect this.
mircea_popescu: (tk kibār, eq of rus kulak)
decimation: heh chiabur isn't english
mircea_popescu: being rich isn't english either.
mircea_popescu: puritan bunch
decimation: well, better kulak than starving peasant, plus you get to pillage a few neat italian cities
asciilifeform: who the hell sees the appeal of revolution in 'get rich' ?!!!
mircea_popescu: entirely up to you, this.
asciilifeform: that's a new one to me
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do you think el dorado was ?
asciilifeform: a treasure hunt ?
mircea_popescu: revolution for people who couldn't afford to fight the king.
mircea_popescu: what else.
decimation: asciilifeform: lol 'get rich' is almost immediately what the revolution turns into
asciilifeform: well yes.
mircea_popescu: well so then.
asciilifeform: and in many ways, that time's 'silicon valley'
decimation: once they gain power and can't figure out what else to do
asciilifeform: considering the grantsmanship that went into el doradoism
mircea_popescu: decimation no buyt see, it's an important problem. "so you're on the stage, alright now - what do you say ?"
asciilifeform: one more or less had to scam a king to play
mircea_popescu: "everyone should walk funny from now on" ?
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah absolutely I see that
decimation: especially since 99.999% of 25 year olds are not napoleon
mircea_popescu: you're moses, up on the mountain, you're smith with his fucking stupid hat and the even more stupid but full of themselves early americans
mircea_popescu: what do you sya ?
asciilifeform: you say things like: 'you - spread yer legs.' 'you - spat on my father. spread your arse cheeks for sharpened telephone pole.' etc.
mircea_popescu: "ummir and fuckthir" ? why ?
mircea_popescu: with a straight face ? seriously ?
mircea_popescu: this is why "power corrupts", incidentally.
mircea_popescu: this will break a man.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is not unlike street urchin's idea of wealthy
asciilifeform: i could, i think, watch telephone poles enter arses for 25 years.

mircea_popescu: an acquired taste. not something one can just jump into.
mircea_popescu: and that "acquired" part is a lot of time and a lot of resources and so on.
decimation: on the other hand, when raw power is rushing around - available for many to grasp - someone's hand will be strong enough to keep hold
assbot: [MPEX] [FT] [X.EUR] 315 @ 0.00390473 = 1.23 BTC [-] {5}
mircea_popescu: again, that you hold the ring is not the issue.
mircea_popescu: what do you tell it to do!
asciilifeform: the mega-appeal of revolution is, just as limonov summarized, it is a chance to trade in guaranteed-die-behind-desk for die-with-sporting-chance
decimation: invade italy; get rich, become emporer
mircea_popescu: but, provided you don't actually die. what. do. you. do.
mircea_popescu: "become emperor" is not a thing.
decimation: but then get bored and declare ware on the entire world
mircea_popescu: "lived happily ever after"
phf: i the wrath of god will marry my own daughter and with her i'll found the purest dynasty the earth has ever seen
asciilifeform: you play again.
mircea_popescu: it only exists from this side of the silver screen
asciilifeform: or what phf said!
mircea_popescu: phf srsly ?!
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would i want my own daughter. i suppose i should table this until i somehow have one,
mircea_popescu: but it seems a lot to me like making my own car. holy shit i'd much rather have a car someone else toiled with.
asciilifeform: making own car has appeal
asciilifeform: i've given it serious thought at times
mircea_popescu: o, i know this about you.
phf: mircea_popescu: well, the scene involves everyone being dead by that point, and aguirre just making mad proclamations on a drifting raft besieged by invisible indians
mircea_popescu: problem is - you'll prolly start a revolution by first building a country.
mircea_popescu: phf ah i entirely missed this was a reference.
asciilifeform: or better yet, alive, and not being able to lift a finger, on account of them all wearing remote-switched detcord collars
mircea_popescu: such a mmorpg view of politics.
decimation: !up Erika-Mustermann
asciilifeform: !up Erika-Mustermann
decimation: the nordic system returns?
mircea_popescu: whossat ?
BingoBoingo: No, I though Nordic system started with a j or some shit
decimation: was gibt's?
BingoBoingo: !s Nordic System
assbot: 15 results for 'Nordic System' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=Nordic+System
decimation: BingoBoingo: it has a deeper bench than that
asciilifeform: hey, this could be the ~other~ nordic system !
asciilifeform: can hope!
mircea_popescu: you know, incidentally, im not so sure that 99.999% figure.
mircea_popescu: it may well be 14% of kids are in fact napoleon.
mircea_popescu: rest is luck, and having bernadotte.

mircea_popescu: heh. know about that one time he forgot about a coupla divisions ?
mircea_popescu: or that other time when he thought he had lost and well... the officers carried ?
BingoBoingo: finnish baseball sounds like the worst! When do you go to get your next beer?
