s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: hello again from tempest.
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: still likely very buggy
signpost[asciilifeform]: seems like loggers digested those. cool!
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: meanwhile hold onto your butts. deflationary bust?
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: yeah wtf is going on
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: mr trump will be pleased to be vindicated in believing that tariffs are not inflationary
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: appears aggressively the opposite
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: I liked the tariffs idea, but he tariffed *coffee*. Also flip flopped on them repeatedly, then made exceptions for big business, fucking over small business yet again.
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: there's something like 10T of federal debt to roll to new debt in 2026
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: everybody remembers that the weimar era was hyperinflationary, but fewer bring up the volatility of that era.
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: y'all remember looking at e.g. BTCARS? I used to call that "going to heaven" against btc
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: seems like the whole world's doing it now.
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: no recollection of BTCARS
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: that's btc / argentine peso pair
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: in hyperinflating fiats the "halving cycle" would get totally swamped by the fiat's grind to hell
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: @!ask list the % increase/decrease vs. btc of the top 20 international currencies over the past 12 months
raip[asciilifeform]: awt_akris: https://paste.rs/KX5fl.md
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2025-11-20#1035648 << recent behavior strongly suggests he is owned by the vampire pedo rulers of earth.
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2025-11-20#1035648 << it does seem to be an israel first admin. Plus side is he's not actively hunting down maga folks. Nice breather.
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform] will take compromised old man who might do a few things I like vs SF alcoholic bimbo of course.
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: re: recent near-unanimous epstein vote in congress, I don't imagine "CIA is world's foremost drug cartel and child trafficker" will be forthcoming.
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: Ok generated a chain checker. Not entirely sure it's working yet but here's the output for today's log: https://paste.rs/I6AaP.txt
s1gnp0st[asciilifeform]: does this mean my packets look right from your perspective?
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: s1gnp0st yeah your messages are looking good.
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: For some reason the raip replies aren't making it to the log or you, which I can see reflected in the netchain - they're not in your netchain and they're not showing up in billymg's logger, but they are showing up in asciilifeform's logger.
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: I think it's a bounce count issue. raip and I presume your client are probably at the extremem periphery of the net.
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: Ok so looks like the number of chain breaks isn't horrendous, though there are some recent netchain breaks (from me) - most likely because akris_desktop was sending messages while disconnected from the main net recently.
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: *awt_akris
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: s1gnp0st: I do see a netchain break from tempest: it was the "test from WIP pestron" message
dulapbot: Logged on 2024-03-02 20:56:21 asciilifeform: so far , pattern seems to be (e.g. 2d ago), exch rate seems to 'go to exponential', then suddenly 'from nowhere' over90000 sell, until quiet again
dulapbot: (alethepedia) 2020-10-11 asciilifeform: erry time usd-btc exch rate becomes 'dangerously high' (~10k seems to be the tripwire, ever since 'system' established) usg dumps (or presses on a compliant asset to dump) a truckload of coin. does not even have to be cosmic qty of coin; simply enuff to trigger margin calls and set the idjit dominoes falling
asciilifeform: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2025-11-20#1035648 << anyone ever seen a tariffism that ~wasn't~ exactly like this ?
asciilifeform: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2025-11-20#1035657 << who not owned&operated -- not appears on the idjitvision, and ergo 'not electable'(tm) neh
asciilifeform finds lulzy that there are folx to whom all of this is some kinda cruel surprise
asciilifeform: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2025-11-20#1035659 << fwiw while & to the extent that they were 'hunted', stood some chance to evolve intelligence
asciilifeform: whereas nao -- dodo
