asciilifeform: meanwhile, in fleanode lulz.
asciilifeform: ^ from 'buyer'
snsabot: Logged on 2021-05-19 17:23:00 asciilifeform: in other lulz, 'buyer' of fleanode.
asciilifeform: standard moron algo, apparently, is : 1) make your 'p2p' net 100% centrally controlled 2) be very very surprised when someone you don't particularly like steals/seduces/'buys'/etc. it
snsabot: Logged on 2020-07-29 12:34:18 asciilifeform: at one time considered to host a fleanode noad in his rack. but then learned that they expect, for 100% phree, an ~entire~ 1u, w/ exclusive root, running whatever shitware, and offer absolutely nuffin in exchange
verisimilitude: All of the cool flies are at the Libera honeypot.
trinque: tbh with all the pissed SJWs in that thread, I'm inclined to like the buyer on principle
shinohai: lmao @ trinque
shinohai: and hw all o/
whaack: shinohai: hola
asciilifeform: trinque: my thought exactly
asciilifeform: trinque: tho entirely possible that he's playing a pre-scripted role.
asciilifeform: fella apparently connected w/ no less than karpeles et al.
asciilifeform: (and see also ancient thrd. )
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-10-04 mircea_popescu: !!rate christel -10 usg tool
asciilifeform: moar wankage if anyone needs it for sumthing.
asciilifeform: imho more or less standard 'good cop / bad cop' theatre; objective was from the start to corral all remaining ircism (in particular as pertains to opensores) in a properly usg.managed shithole. (ye olde fleanode, evidently, was still too heterogeneous and difficult to properly sjw-police.)
asciilifeform: ... and yet another choice lulzcompendium re subj.
asciilifeform: 'hey’ve repeatedly proven, even in court, that they don’t log.' << how on earth does one do this?? (even 'in-universe' fiction..?)
asciilifeform: continued. 'It’s not about free speech or privacy, so don’t be easily misled by words like “Libera” (or neo-liberal), as they’re enforcing rules akin to “blasphemy law”. They’re not about freedom; in fact, their site is hosted by Microsoft, they manage the site with Microsoft proprietary tools, and they’re putting their
asciilifeform: code in a proprietary Microsoft monopoly.' << afaik -- fact.
asciilifeform: lulzy colour-revolution these folx have going there.
asciilifeform: lee evidently was cast in the role of yanukovych.
verisimilitude: I find techrights odd; I agreed with much of what was written during the Stallman drama.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: on which side ?
verisimilitude: I recall techrights being pro-Stallman.
asciilifeform: so then where 'odd' ?
verisimilitude: Some of the other writings are queer to me.
verisimilitude: He should know better than to believe one can prove not logging, as an example.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i actually have nfi what to make of the author, seeing the thing iirc for 1st time today.
asciilifeform: the 'proven... don't log' is a howler, any way you cut it, tho.
asciilifeform bbl
