billymg: thimbronion: ah, perfect
billymg: for $125 that looks like a great deal
thimbronion: Implemented title search on alethepedia. Works well, IMO. Content search will work better via a bot, I think.
thimbronion: !ticker xbtusd
lekythion: Kraken XBTUSD: 35485.10000
billymg: thimbronion: nice!
billymg: thimbronion: why would content search work better via bot than www?
thimbronion: billymg: Actually I don't know. Probably should have said "Title only search actually works, and combining it with content search, which doesn't at the moment, is going to be really hard."
thimbronion: asciilifeform: regarding the idea of having only one chan, I will miss having a separate forum in which to discuss Alethepedia.
asciilifeform: billymg: thimbronion: imho the separateness was rather an illusion
asciilifeform: (and not a particularly useful one )
snsabot: (asciilifeform) 2021-06-17 asciilifeform: ... i'm reminded of an ancient sovok joke, where crew of a plane gets stranded each on separate island, and the american d00d when rescued is found to have built a 'whites' and 'coloureds' mess hall on his etc
thimbronion: there was lots of overlap. idk if you mind me spamming your channel with alethepedia stuff though.
asciilifeform: why'd i mind, lol
asciilifeform: and if we ever absolutely cannot stomach one another, can make separate nets painlessly.
snsabot: (asciilifeform) 2021-06-18 asciilifeform: at no point does anyone have to declare jihad. simply they walk off to separate nets by severing links.
thimbronion: I though somewhat off topic - in my mind #asciilifeform was about trb work.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: naa that was supposed to be #therealbitcoin
billymg: thimbronion: this is what i resolved without mentioning to asciilifeform, that i would simply spam his channel with design/outreach talk until asked to create a new net
billymg: althought, i supposed won't be "his channel" in dulapnet?
thimbronion: ok. cool. will spam away.
asciilifeform: billymg: recall also on usenet, folx simply filtered, w/ eyes & w/ 'killfile', subjs/people they were uninterested in, w/out necessarily having to leave a group
asciilifeform: there's a good bit of talking 'past' one another that folx can do w/out necessarily pissing each other off to the point that they gotta build an impenetrable wall b/w one another.
billymg: asciilifeform: i just missed the usenet days, but this concept makes sense
thimbronion: I purchased Ultima 6 via usenet.
asciilifeform nostalgiates
asciilifeform played 1-5 on commodore 64, 6,7,7.5,8 on pc..
thimbronion: Only played the one, but was blown away.
asciilifeform: started, funnily, w '4', found boxed (comp. w/ cloth map..) in junk store in '94
thimbronion: Mailed a check for it!
asciilifeform: aha, i bought various on usenet, sight unseen, mailed cashier cheque, bought tape drive, etc
asciilifeform: dumpster-dived irons, and sold..
