(asciilifeform) gregory4: verisimilitude: if it doesn't, then there is, AFAIK, no meaningful separation between Totalitarian and Authoritarian.

(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i dun think kakobrekla is 'pushing' ethertardism, but pointing out that it is a natural fuffle for folx who demand impossibilities to be offered eventually.

(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: recurring leitmotif. but what about it.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: in late su there was a song (nominally about sovok, but..) 'chained with one chain'. they haven't a choice.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: you'd be surprised, verisimilitude , at how much 'dipshit on github' and 'adults in critical systems' increasingly converging.

(asciilifeform) verisimilitude: I was thinking about Domain Acknowledgment in relation to peripherals earlier, as I was falling to sleep. I don't currently see a good abstraction over what keys a keyboard exposes, sans requiring programs to whitelist which keys it recognizes, leaving all others ignored or sent to others. Common whitelists could be shared, for ease. I quite like the idea.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i won't argue against standardization/librarization in the abstract, but like to remind folx that it has a cost.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i aint in the biz of thinking about 'most programs...'
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: massive pile o'shit quite similar to tcp, and for same reasons. (includes even moar craptastic garbage, e.g. 'heartbeats')

(asciilifeform) shinohai: verisimilitude: Already had countless messages from people asking same, one from none other than http://wot.deedbot.org/CDC13F3B380239FE82250DA310488A0477C34BCE.html

(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: if you have a breaththrough algo that aint a variant of '1' or '2', i promise to read.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: or perhaps there's a 2 and a 3 somewhere that add to 6, lol
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: the only 1 of the 2 which worx without persistent identities, is pow.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i have nfi how to parse that sentence
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: see the pow thrd. state of art re subj.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: unless you really meant 'pseudonymous' -- anonymous systems divide between 'spammed to death' and 'no one knows about it yet'
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: imho the practical 'direction to dream in' there would be to select for yerself peers w/ correct grammar etc. but naturally q is b/w you and odin.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: misbehaving party can write his own client to misbehave how he likes.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i can't see any reason to artificially constrain the payload.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: the only hard spec i set out for this so far (and others nodded to) was 'no thrones' + 'no blank cheques to allcomers'
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: as described there, indeed aint
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: is ok, do not feel somehow obligated to grasp the thread. (but if you do -- welcome to comment)
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-04 18:55:01 verisimilitude: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-07-04#1042515 I completely agree. It shouldn't even be thought of as time.

(asciilifeform) shinohai: verisimilitude: I'd recommend messaging Calvin Ayre if you want underage girls. I'd rather have fully developed tits and hips.
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-30 19:37:15 verisimilitude: It's certain that such a field in a UDP packet should be at the beginning of the data, next to the IP addresses, port, and checksum, at the least.
(asciilifeform) mats: verisimilitude: free. i also accept covers of wonderwall
(asciilifeform) thestringpuller: "think verisimilitude think"; couldn't resist
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: can't use ip for anything whatsoever in udpism
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: ultimately actual authentication, w/rsa, is better, noshit. but not practical for GB/s packet filtration w/out custom ic afaik.
(asciilifeform) snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-15 23:20:21 verisimilitude: I'm getting some error relating to the password; it could be an oddity of erc. It communicates a small amount of mostly useless information. Anyway, I'm not worried, so I'll figure it out later.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: meanwhile, verisimilitude , signpost , possibly others : somebody baked gentoo for 'pinebook' supposedly. (not had chance to test)
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: ah ok
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: ty
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: can haz link to docs for this variant?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: this is a fallacy. 'can't lift entire universe, therefore let's sit on our arses'
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2020-08-30 22:32:36 asciilifeform: verisimilitude: tcp per se is a mindbogglingly-braindamaged abstraction that never has been and probably never could be implemented even half-sanely . which limits, to asciilifeform's pov, the appeal of the very idea of 'fixing' it.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: didja find a pure-udp variant of bt ?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: 'not just tcp' == 'uses tcp'
(asciilifeform) snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-27 13:22:58 verisimilitude: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-26#1040900 How is it terrible?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: iirc you were testing a mechanized dictation thing? how did that go?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: chording kbd not helped?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: feeling in which organ(s) ?
(asciilifeform) verisimilitude: I get similar when discussing programming without text, or the idiocy of using character streams to represent text, but already know I can expect to realize negative income through them.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: incidentally not every such 'expert' is a credentialled imbecile; some, e.g. schneier, cash fat usg cheques
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i presume you're aware of the biological process that gives us flightless birds
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-27 00:02:42 verisimilitude: I once knew a fellow who faked his death; I correctly figured it was to find dissent, and so I held mine insults, and he turned up days later.
(asciilifeform) snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-26 16:01:45 verisimilitude: Consider chording, or voice recognition, whaack.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: well, you can get 2-3 of'em for the cost of 1 minimal crapple slabebox of current make
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: you know those 32core ecc ram 'dulap' opterons i offer customers at my isp ?
(asciilifeform) magnus: verisimilitude: there is no hope, actually...
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: hope of what?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: iirc was called so by contemporaries in src and wherever else needed to be concise. catchy.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: well, bolix ivory was a 2um. approx. on par, transistorwise, w/ i486.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: elaborate?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: people who 'all my valuable data lives on a 100$ konsoomer shitware plugged into the net' are, if anything, ~insufficiently~ abused, their hdds oughta be formatted erry week, until they learn
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i prefer 'mitsui' gold cd/dvd-r for long-term backups
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: aite. no need to warn me about these, let'em comment like errybody else, at their leisure
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-23 00:41:54 verisimilitude: There's so few of us, having TCP streams open with everyone else could even work. We could throw UDP packets at a logging daemon here and use the logs to get the whole conversation.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-23#1040514 << i dunno that i could think of a worse shape for this if i tried. you gotta be joking, verisimilitude
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-23 00:40:12 verisimilitude: Why not abandon IRC and use something else?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: the signed-packets thing. you have N entryways that are all interchangeable for the purpose of sending in a packet. all admit strictly validly-signed packets.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: only in the sense that your pipe has finite bw
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: and (as you seem to recall) all the extant implementations are broken in various interesting ways.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: 'syn cookie'. costs you cpu, and still allows attacker to eat 2byte of yer bw for each 1byte he sends (you're still answering the bullshit SYNs)
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: observe that none of the 'countermeasures' listed actually work worth a shit. for ~fundamental~ reason, that being that yer giving away 'something for nothing to all-comers'.
(asciilifeform) snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-21 18:41:25 verisimilitude: I've read before of some TCP which manage to avoid allocating memory at connection handshake.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: or i suppose you mean the packet validator. then yes, but idea is that you have custom ic which can do it at max line rate, rather than pc.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: how?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i have deeply nfi, don't follow the subj
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: smart. better imho in fact to die in a ditch.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: it's a fundamentally 'terrorist' item, that, if could be funded, only could be by something other than 'system'.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: go and try, lol, to fund anything resembling 'better design'.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: literally all of their economic arrangements are predicated on these infinities, and cannot live w/out'em , like auto engine cannot run under water
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: 'civilized' world's entire economic paradigm stood on presumptions of magical infinitely-growing things. incl. ic densities.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: depends which 'things' -- some already by any standard failed.
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-18 14:48:36 verisimilitude: Software is increasingly being written by idiots who don't even aim for proper functioning; it's just a game to them.
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-18 14:26:29 verisimilitude: So if I were to run a node here, I'd be expected to moderate it?
(asciilifeform) snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-18 14:45:02 asciilifeform: verisimilitude: funnier still when yer sitting next to several boxes on each of which it runs and eats 3-4GB of ram
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-17 16:45:58 asciilifeform: verisimilitude: 1 of the uses of #a is for asciilifeform to inform isp subscribers re outages; which i still cannot do if the sole relay lives in my own rack.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: mno, good hygiene is to write e.g. date/time, 'in re: $linkedthread, i'll be connecting from $ip1,$ip2,...$ip_n until further notice', pgp sig.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: a++, pgpgram (signed w/ yer key) and i'ma try and do the whole pile in 1 go in day or 2
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: the difference was more marked in the days when linux was a project by and for people with souls exclusively
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: cuz 'enterprise' shitware.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: funnier still when yer sitting next to several boxes on each of which it runs and eats 3-4GB of ram
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: any individual machine can 'have issues'
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: ham radio has various strange traditions of 'discuss only x,y,z', so perhaps not best model here
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: ever used (or listened to) a long-dist. voice radio net ?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: no 'democracy' involved, just folx voluntarily associating/deassociating.

(asciilifeform) snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-17 16:44:06 asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i'm still sitting there, to stay in touch with the several folk who haven't moved here. i expect that after we get an actual net (vs. '1 box w/ hardcoded pw' barrel organ) going, will check outta fleanode permanently.
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-08 16:09:13 verisimilitude: I was told ``Life is too short to hate.''; I responded ``It's too long not too.''.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i recall, you recently said, aha
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: ... or not. life is short, verisimilitude .
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: only way to find out is to see whether result of the tape is also custom.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: when undiscerning clientele -- sadly only half-joke, folx accept idiocy that their grandfathers would have never conceived of as 'business as usual'
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i aint running 1 of those, tho, lol
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: 1 of the uses of #a is for asciilifeform to inform isp subscribers re outages; which i still cannot do if the sole relay lives in my own rack.

(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: what do you dislike about the protocol?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: just about all the folx here have www comments, etc. otherwise contactable other than by irc. so if verisimilitude is here, must prefer sumthing about ircism ? or what am i missing?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: then why here??
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: this, as you can observe with naked eye now, worx -- until it doesn't.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: seems like you already understand the cost of having yer http served by 3rd parties, tho
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: why, outta curiosity ? irc is ultra-cheap re cpu, disk, bw vs just about anything else
(asciilifeform) PeterL: verisimilitude: could you expand on what you mean by "used like that"?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: strictly speaking -- subset. in practice leads to very different points of friction and rather differently-shaped proggies than seen in books, shithub, etc
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i confess, very quickly came to the conclusion that the ada asciilifeform programs in is effectively a diff. lang. from the one discussed in forums.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: do they have a www log ?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: a ok
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: didntcha say you tuned into #ada & similar ?

(asciilifeform) snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-13 15:56:37 verisimilitude: What bothers me is how men would use typewriters and whatnot, but I'm not aware of, say, Mark Twain giving it anything but praise.
(asciilifeform) whaack: verisimilitude: Nice, I may invest ine one of these. I just switched left ctrl and caps lock to try to give my left pinky/ulnar nerve some relief.
(asciilifeform) whaack: verisimilitude: I learned from guitar that curling the pinky causes tension throughout the whole hand. You can see this for yourself by trying to touch where the thumb connects to the palm with your pinky. This tension-inducing motion happens when you press the ctrl key on many qwerty keyboards.
(asciilifeform) whaack: verisimilitude: From my preliminary investigation it seems that the main problem is that two nerves - the median and the ulnar nerve - get compromised easily
(asciilifeform) whaack: verisimilitude: in all fingers or in the pinky and ring finger?
(asciilifeform) snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-09 12:58:36 asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i'd much like a FPGA where each LUT has a pixel output. but not expecting such a thing to be made (even if moore's law were not dead)
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i'd much like a FPGA where each LUT has a pixel output. but not expecting such a thing to be made (even if moore's law were not dead)
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: that's 25mil ~visible~ pixels (3 x 4k lcd). i wasn't even counting the buffers.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: it aint that it's a bad idea, as such (imho obv. implication of 'non-vm comp') but do consider, asciilifeform for instance atm is sitting in front of ~25e6 24bit pixels.
(alethepedia) snsabot: (asciilifeform) 2021-03-09 asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i suspect that not all authors of such pieces are formally paid shills; rather, the subject has a strong (i suspect -- from envy) dementia-inducing effect on various folx;
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: elaborate?
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: verisimilitude: again, there's a ~bottomless pit of these. y'know, as with other clickbait/tabloid themes. 'how you hairbrush is killing you.' '47 dirty tricks your dentist doesn't want you to know.' etc
