mircea_popescu: the shit that's on my blog jesus
ben_vulpes: the point is sudo apt-get install redis
ben_vulpes: but either the clojure api for s3 or the java lib underneath it have a bug in their pre-signed url implementations.
ben_vulpes: i burned days DAYS DAYSSSSSSS trying to get pre-signed URLs to work from java last month before giving up and hard coding AWS credentials into the deploy scripts
mircea_popescu: of course they aren't lol.
ben_vulpes: now i have to have a conversation with some people who are really sold on virtualization about how either i'm a retard or these layers of indirection are not worth the fucking cost.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes what do you want them to do ?
mircea_popescu: this is the unlimited shared hosting v2.0
ben_vulpes: yeah i'm clearly the retarded one here
ben_vulpes: if your shit can't pay for a server beefy enough to serve itself and its assets get the fuck right out of my face
ben_vulpes: once again i find myself confronted with stupid shit that shouldn't be a problem if the industry hadn't standardized on virtualized machines too small to host and serve their own images
mircea_popescu: nude among the garbage, teh pain, all that. it's a thing.
mircea_popescu: im sure that's an experience that'll never be forgotten, incidentally. the sheer depravity of it.
mircea_popescu: http://www.laddertheory.com/images/mansladder1.jpg << is this how the "she's a 10" thing was born ?
asciilifeform: so there we sat, contemplating how, generally, the bigger calibre of cannon, the louder the report. and mircea_popescu woke up, reminded us how he vapourized enemies with old trusted Nd:Yag laser.
mircea_popescu: i got a switch off a tree then marched her into a dark blind alley in the scary part of town, made her leave her clothes streetside, kneel there and swooshed her a few.
mircea_popescu: so the first time i met this chick, about a decade ago, that had incidentally flown in on her own dime
asciilifeform: simple in that it succeeds in 'stretching the owl over the globe' and fitting observables to hypothesis
asciilifeform: not unlike 'practicing' heat death of the universe

cazalla: well perhaps a holdout who still practices ladder theory all these years later. it was a forum back in the day

asciilifeform: of the 'if yer phucked, yer phucked' flavour.
asciilifeform remembers the 'ladder' essay. it was a more dour, 'dismal science' version of mocsny/PUA/whatever-it's-called-now material
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> old enough to remember around 2000 the red pill was called ladder theory <<< .
