    asciilifeform: * | asciilifeform notices his last msg apparently went to devnull
    
    asciilifeform: mystery.
    
    signpost: yeah, I was refreshing logs.bitdash.io
    
    signpost: I'll let my pest node run a while and see what happens
    
    signpost: looks like it's still p00ting out GETDATA requests
    
    signpost: nice time for a nuclear-resistant chat protocol eh?
    
    verisimilitude: Yes, we could chat about how our skin is melting off, say.
    
    verisimilitude: Joking aside, is anyone here even near Russia?
    
    signpost: verisimilitude: hey man, I'll toast the end with y'all.
    
    signpost: doubt it's likely to get that far.
    
    verisimilitude: Yes, thanks to brave people like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30493948
    
    verisimilitude: The ``tech companies'' need to interfere in geopolitics, for democracy's sake.
    
    signpost: hoping these arrogant fuckers at least experience a little educative hunger.
    
    verisimilitude: I don't think that would work anymore.
    
    verisimilitude: ``This is just like when Harry Potter lived in the woods you guys!''
    
    signpost: I wouldn't expect that fantasy to impact reality gently.
    
    signpost: what'd it take in 2020, a month or two of unemployment before riots?
    
    verisimilitude: Weren't those negro riots?
    
    verisimilitude: Yes; they'll riot whenever the TV commands them, signpost.
    
    vex: got a tranciever wrapped in lead somewhere signpost?
    
    vex: I'll prolly get texas if shit goes quiet
    
    signpost: verisimilitude: looked to be mostly idle white kids to me.
    
    signpost: vex: nah, if shit gets that bad there's not much left to do.
    
    signpost: I probably wont be in Texas much longer. I've just been waiting on a real estate implosion to relocate.
    
    signpost sniffs, smells capitulation.
    
    mats: do you think that's likely? housing supply is tight all over
    
    mats: and probably will be for years
    
    mats: low interest rates pulled forward a lot of buying
    
    verisimilitude: Say, asciilifeform, I'm going to try my different approach to UDP in Ada again, modelling the grotesque C structs with Ada to avoid C as much as feasible.  This will, unfortunately, break when the underlying definitions change across UNIXen, but this is acceptable to me.
    
    vex: it's not going straight to 30% tho is it mats?
    
    signpost: mats: my sense is that a recession will cause a lot of downsizing.
    
    signpost: where I'm looking there aren't a lot of buyers either.
    
    verisimilitude: That requires owning things to downsize.
    
    vex: i guess a couple of pips might hurt ppl
    
    verisimilitude: We know the people who own the most things will be fine.
    
    vex: what's the bet alf paid cash
    
    vex: don't want a lien on the dead trees & hardware storage

    verisimilitude: What?
    
    vex: run ur own matey
    
    vex: chan, kun... there must be a better descriptor
    
    verisimilitude: The word being sought is ``imageboard''.
    
    verisimilitude: I already help run one, vex.
    
    vex: ah, which is that?
    
    verisimilitude: It's Lainchan.
    
    verisimilitude: Read the rules before posting.
    
    verisimilitude: To inform those here, I loathe the Japanese nature of most imageboards, and suppress it.
    
    vex: chan implicitly describes those which are kawaii desu ne?
    
    verisimilitude: Yes, but it also abbreviates ``channel''.
    
    vex: yeah, no
    
    verisimilitude: Yeah, yes.
    
    vex: ok
    
    vex: it obiously does, as you just described.
    
    vex: .jp is such a vast language, I feel like it'd be respectuful to use some other terminology to copy their work again
    
    vex: I wouldn't recommend it tho, you'll need lots of jannies
    
    thimbronion: vex solved afaict
    
    vex: nice work
