ben_vulpes: "all testing" which is what we've seen to date.
mircea_popescu: of course the logical approach would be to promote to stable ml patches that were signed
mircea_popescu: which is why the fuck we evern have the complexsignature scheme in place.
mircea_popescu: plox tell me it's not one of those where everyone is waiting for me to do it first or something.
ben_vulpes: i tried once
ben_vulpes: fucked it up somehow
mircea_popescu: how about submiutting a "This doesn't work - don't use it" thing on the broken one
ben_vulpes: i'm all for barriers to entry here but this is a goddamn development obstacle course
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: broken << sure, yeah.
ben_vulpes is struck by the eerie resemblance to $dayjaeorb here
ben_vulpes: "here have a pull request"
ben_vulpes: "does it work?"
ben_vulpes: "i don't know, let's test it during code review"
ben_vulpes: grand exaggeration.
ben_vulpes: nevertheless.
decimation: I'm still confused about this map thing. does anyone know exactly which map ascii is talking about?
ben_vulpes: decimation: i'm still 1.5klol behind
decimation: this is an infinite argument amoung developers: 'repo is for good code', 'no repo is for new code as it is being written'
ben_vulpes: dvcs means we can all have a repo
ben_vulpes: the fewer enforced constraints upon us, the more discipline with which we must act.
BingoBoingo: Most intimidating part of current realbitcoin is where the fuck do I submit a diff from?
ben_vulpes: last release, i'd prefer. asciilifeform tends to stack his patches atop one another.
ben_vulpes: if you're up to date on the patching, submit a patch and note its antecedents.
ben_vulpes: this makes for quite the testing nightmare. those interested in testing must reverse applied patches to your antecedent tip and then apply yours.
ben_vulpes: from experience i know that the more difficult it is to test the software, the less likely anyone is to actually do so.
ben_vulpes: but this is bitcoin, where since time immemorial people have been shipping code that can only ever be tested in production and then standing by in amazement claiming that "nobody could have predicted!"
ben_vulpes: !s testing in production
assbot: 13 results for 'testing in production' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=testing+in+production
trinque: hey yo, I made a lot of noise about process early on
trinque: then stepped back when shouted down
trinque: the patch signing is great, but it's not a process by itself
trinque: will either need tools built to support it, or will need to grab tools
trinque: I had a hell of a time figuring out where I should be re: patches, at least before giving up and using rotor instead.
ben_vulpes: i can just imagine the arguments
ben_vulpes: "a real contributor would write all of their own tooling to solve this"
ben_vulpes: "what's so hard about applying patches to your private repository?"
ben_vulpes: "what, you want to automate this process that keeps the tards at bay?"
trinque: the barrier can be "the devs are fucking vitriolic towards laziness"
trinque: then you can you know, use a power drill
trinque: and still work with non-dickheads
ben_vulpes: "what, you want to automate the nuclear power plant?"
trinque: hear fucking hear
ben_vulpes: i'm just trying to operate within these crazy boundaries. i don't have any process improvements that i'm sure wouldn't get shot down in a new york second from asciilifeform.
ben_vulpes: *i* have a repo. *it* has a *stable* and an *experimental* branch.
trinque: I bet it's in git too, you filthy swine
ben_vulpes: how much hell would i catch for sharing this with others?
ben_vulpes: of course!
trinque: look everything's bad. bad bad bad
trinque: I watched a guy drink himself to death because you know, unix wasn't everything-is-a-table
trinque: gonna rebuild everything on earth? or gonna start somewhere
decimation: I thought ascii was okay with repos as long as it was clear which patches 'caused' the repo state
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 59768 @ 0.00050358 = 30.098 BTC [-] {3}
ben_vulpes: all i ever heard was "git=invitation for tard collaborators"
ben_vulpes: he can correct me if i'm wrong.
decimation: plus, his original theory was that others should read and sign. now this is good in theory, but in practice has no upside and all downside
decimation: (for signers)
trinque: you can do the same process better with a hierarchy of git repos
trinque: ffs
ben_vulpes: patches and signatures in the repository itself. i'd not be averse.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the patches 'stacked on one another' is an artifact of how diff works
ben_vulpes: i know this.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ideas welcome !
ben_vulpes: can we share a git repository yet?
ben_vulpes: i'm not critiquing your patchstacking, note.
ben_vulpes: i will be off to eat shortly.
asciilifeform: btw the db patch is not marked with antecedents because it has none (since last release)
asciilifeform: (iirc the 40000 was set prior to it)
ben_vulpes: of course.
ben_vulpes to food
asciilifeform: and what's more, this is pretty clear from reading it.
asciilifeform: but yes, my particular ml posts are geared toward helping the folks i know to be presently involved ( ben_vulpes, mod6, trinque, mircea_popescu, shinohai, punkman, hanbot, who else?) to build.
asciilifeform: rather than for everyone on the planet.
trinque: all I'm grumpy about is having something structured to put the patches in, really, with branching
asciilifeform: trinque: please put, if it helps you
trinque: the patches page helps a bit, but for example seeing easily from where various experimental patches derive
asciilifeform: can even get your favourite version control gizmo to shit out patches
asciilifeform: (iirc ben_vulpes does this)
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu your www layout somehow cuts the lines on s.nsa statement
gribble: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: ^ anyone else sees this?
asciilifeform: (graphical browser)
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 114645 @ 0.00052851 = 60.591 BTC [+] {3}
mod6: it does the same for me on multiple browsers too
asciilifeform: ;;later tell ben_vulpes i have nothing against 'git', 'mercurial', etc., and even sometimes use these in civilian life, there is even somewhere ~horror~ a 'github' page with my name and some old crud, yes. but the ~canonical walk from pedigreed 0.5.3 to therealbitcoin~ has to be in .patch form!
gribble: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: it is the finger pushing in the plug into the hole the night leaks through.
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah my browser eats too (firefox)
decimation: asciilifeform: are the maps in question contained in your 'mempool zap patch'?
asciilifeform: decimation: they are the two maps which hold mempool state
asciilifeform: see the text of the patch.
decimation was seeing
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-08-2015#1225151 << we're not signing because it has 'upside' now. but 1) because unsigned code is 'written by no one' and hence is a work of the great satan by default implication 2) for the archaeologists 3) for the revolutionary tribunals
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 04:19:08; decimation: plus, his original theory was that others should read and sign. now this is good in theory, but in practice has no upside and all downside
decimation: my point is that it was made clear that anyone who signed something that fucked stuff up would suffer the negrating consequences
assbot: Logged on 14-07-2015 03:22:40; asciilifeform: a mistake that is owned up to, before it sinks any ships - can perhaps be accepted as a mistake, and forgiven
asciilifeform: i sign xxx. the readers are then free to rate me accordingly. this is how is works, by design.
asciilifeform: also the continuity of identity. if, for example, my patches at some point go from tiny to elephantine, from single-purpose to 'omnibus', from deadly-simple to 'wtf is that' - folks are to presume that i have been finally killed and key is in hands of hitler. and should then rate accordingly.
asciilifeform: this, incidentally, is an important reason why patches need to be deedboted
asciilifeform: (can automate this?)
asciilifeform: need hard ~dates~ as well as identity.
asciilifeform: and yes, all of this looks like pointless sweat to the folks who struggle with builds, checking sigs, missed linefeedz, etc
asciilifeform: guess what - war consists largely of precisely this kind of 'pointlessness'
asciilifeform: 'why do i have to move these sandbags?'
asciilifeform: 'why am i sleeping in a hole in the ground next to hole in the ground where i shat'
asciilifeform: 'why do i have to stand here and watch the hill'
decimation: part of the problem with the mailing list I see is that it's difficult to reconstruct the context of patches
asciilifeform: perhaps mircea_popescu will add to this illustration.
asciilifeform: decimation: the context is typically filled in, in pedantic detail, here.
decimation: you usually do a good job of this
ben_vulpes: oh don't mind me, i'm just grumpy about a frictive process
decimation: I can't think of an off-the-shelf tool that would do everything mentioned above though
asciilifeform: the tool that man can trust to replace his brains is not yet born
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu will likely run me through the "oh you're complaining here have some more of what irks you" chipper
decimation: asciilifeform: yes but you could take that argument to 'can't use computer withou seeing registers'
ben_vulpes: decimation: and he does, regularly
decimation: it all depends on what is a reasonable risk to accept
asciilifeform: once hygiene was invented - not using it was no longer 'reasonable'
trinque: git's binary db format is certainly *not* capable of being the canonical representation of the project
trinque: however, these are separate concerns
trinque: the ML is imo for releases, which should consist of bundles of signed patches
decimation: it would be nice to have a button to click: download the 'original tree' plus patches to get to this patch
trinque: dev is its own concern which might have other processes; you could say that a particular feature branch eventually gets flattened down into a release patch
decimation: for each patch
asciilifeform: trinque: i happen to think that throwing patches to ml, where they are all visible in chronological order, is a step forward from them living on my www
trinque: decimation: I was thinking this might be a web app
asciilifeform: and linked here
decimation: trinque: a web page with links to whatever deedbot spits would be sufficient
trinque: asciilifeform: yeah, but the patches are a tree, not a timeline
ben_vulpes: i am now imagining all sorts of dumb things like patches contributed in ml 'threads'
decimation: plus automatics to package tarball and patches
asciilifeform: you lot are reinventing 'version control' gadget
ben_vulpes: heck, it'd be a huge improvement if /patches.html rendered in chronological order
asciilifeform: (why aren't they?)
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell jurov pretty please
gribble: The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: dunno, have asked twice now
decimation: yes, that's step one of 'we gotta invent version control too'
ben_vulpes would learn fossil
ben_vulpes: don't care, can operate anything made by humans
asciilifeform: i said before, will say again: if the labour of crunching the patches looms large, it is only because folks are not undergoing the greater torment of reading them
ben_vulpes: 'tis not the patches but the whole workflow
asciilifeform: what other than the patches ?
ben_vulpes: a forest, not any particular tree
decimation: asciilifeform: for one thing, you would need to see the patch in context
decimation: which you can't get unless you have the whole repo stepped forward to the state of ap articular patch
asciilifeform: the 'rotor' toolchain, for instance, tripped up some folks. but it needs to be built ~once per machine~
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: the antecedents thing for one
decimation: thus, you need the whole repo state per patch
decimation: I don't see any way around that
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i carefully summarized the antecedents to 'stator' for hanbot (see log)
decimation: yes, this is version control
ben_vulpes: now is when i admit that i've yet to successfully compile bitcoin with rotor
ben_vulpes: tendon-snipped by "use your noggin, eedjit" instructions
ben_vulpes: tripped, fell, yelling in fury
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: make use of the fact that i am yet alive! post errorz, logs
ben_vulpes: trinque: was there, saw, comiserated
ben_vulpes: no! for it is a merely a derpy directory structure issue that any sophomore can figure out
ben_vulpes: CLEARLY
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'm tuned in for what, 12-14 h/day? write in
trinque: rock climbing comes to mind
trinque: sometimes you get a shitty handhold, but you don't immediately shout "fuck this!" and let go of the wall
ben_vulpes: no, for another read through and another hack at "etc. as before" will resolve this.
trinque the fatty who hasn't exercised in 6mos... talking about rock climbing...
ben_vulpes: i'll save my "eedjit points" for when i actually cannot resolve things myself.
ben_vulpes: in the meantime, know that these few hours per day *i* do have might be put to better use than derping of dirs.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: don't hesitate to publicly gripe if i omitted a step in cookbook, etc
ben_vulpes: note that i haven't.
decimation: asciilifeform: mapTransactions appears to be a std::map to me
asciilifeform: decimation is right
decimation: maybe I can't distinguish between boost and stl
decimation: one of the annoyances of c++ is that it is strongly typed and yet devilishly hard to tell *what* type
asciilifeform: does have the behaviour described earlier, though
decimation: and there is no tool (as far as I know) that automates this task
asciilifeform: not in the land of sunshine & kittenz, at any rate
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: my patches are useless if folks can't build them and test
decimation: folks can, I've done anyway
assbot: Logged on 04-08-2015 04:03:19; asciilifeform: also ok to use live lusers
decimation: my stator with eatblocks is almost synced after a month of running
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes et al: if anyone wants to suggest how to make recipe more digestible, please write.
trinque: my only problem with rotor was that berkdb is a piece of shit, ignored env vars that every ball o' source should care about without its own magical flag
trinque: things like that though, that many pieces, sure it's going to snag on machines
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-08-2015#1220389 << how long? my maxint_locks build appears to be chewing on this one, but i cannot actually tell.
assbot: Logged on 01-08-2015 04:37:34; BingoBoingo: was very slow to eat 51, but it did
trinque: what's needed imo is something which displays the history of *decisions* made, secondarily patches
ben_vulpes: aha trinque's decisionmachine emerges!
trinque: wahaha
trinque: that's what I as a newb trying to wade in wanted to know
trinque: what's the social structure here, what decisions did it fart out?
asciilifeform: what happened to n00bs reading logs for 6 mo ?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: instructions rot, are dependent on fallible humans. i write scripts.
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah it matters what kind of pointers that mapTransactions is accepting
trinque: asciilifeform: I've read *far* more logs than that
decimation: asciilifeform: one annoyance about the logs: missing entries
asciilifeform: so trinque then knows the decisions
asciilifeform: decimation: this is also why i keep boxes going 24/7, logging
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: still need instructions, for when script explodes with no explanation
asciilifeform: there is, sadly, no possible substitute for actually grasping the mechanism
asciilifeform: if i knew of one - would say what it is, promise.
ben_vulpes: mine explode at the line that fails instead of airily carrying on as though nothing happened.
ben_vulpes: helps, somewhat.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: yes, and that ought to be in every release
asciilifeform: (i somehow forgot this feature even existed in sh)
decimation: the problem appears to be http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp#0505 that mapTransactions consists of pointers to CTransactions objects
assbot: Satoshi 0.5.3.1/src/main.cpp ... ( http://bit.ly/1MN6xHr )
decimation: calling clear() simply zeros the hashes but does not deallocate the objects
asciilifeform: i explained this earlier
decimation: one would need to iterate through all of them and call delete
asciilifeform: except have to iterate cleverly
decimation: yes, it would be annoying
asciilifeform: because deleting destroys iterator
asciilifeform: (forgot this, and relearned the hard way, sat with gdb for a spell)

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: i carefully summarized the antecedents to 'stator' for hanbot (see log) << stator, rotor work to build a bitcoind on the "mint" ubuntu-like. Don't remember installing more dev tools after g++ for stator

BingoBoingo: My misdemeanor case is on a one way path now. It is going to hearing seeking dismissal. If not dismissed then to trial seeking not-guilty adjudication. Then to civil court seeking damages for seriously hindering my employability.
BingoBoingo: I might not remember why in the morning I decided tonight would be the night to file this, but I left myself copious notes.
BingoBoingo used to believe St Cliar County authorities might read this chan, now pretty sure they don't, but figure there is a lack of better public records so their doom if they don't read.
BingoBoingo notes filings issued in venues other than a #b-a deedbot will from now and from twenty years in the past be treated as suggestions rather than orders.

BingoBoingo: But MPT made it way to clear in his adverts that he did "dark web stuff" to address him as a person. That would be like buying a gram of blow from the white boy dressed as a pimp.
shinohai: I never used inputs.io though. The whole thing of not owning your keys seemed silly to me.
BingoBoingo: I spent time on his coinshat thing tying to tell n00bs to not be such n00bs. Fat lot of good it did.
shinohai: A fool and his money .....
BingoBoingo: Between pirateat40 and TradeFartress the latter probably ran the more dangerous long con, because people believed him. Not absolutely, but generally.
shinohai: He definitely had a way with people. There are peeps to this day that still defend him and inputs.
BingoBoingo: People really underestimate how long I can keep my hate fresh
shinohai: Same. I hold grudges for way too long.
BingoBoingo: I was trying to save precious n00bs on his site, and he fuck it. So I hate.
shinohai: n00bs generally go for the shiny and loud
shinohai: Things that require little effort, not realizing your security comes at a price.
shinohai: But no: "The app developer *assures us it is safe, so it must be*"
BingoBoingo: It was an inflection point. I mean back then Eulora was jsut a jizzlet in MP's balls
BingoBoingo: !up afreakk
BingoBoingo: 1up afreakk_Z_Z_
BingoBoingo: !up afreakk_Z_Z_
shinohai: I had such enthusiasm for Eulora, I may take a fresh look at it when I have good drugs.
BingoBoingo: It was around then though that I realized that no amount of 1 on 1 coaching directed at unknowns could have the same impact MP had when he declared Max Keiser was a doody head.
BingoBoingo: I jsut need to find a way to build it without Nvidia cg toolkit.
BingoBoingo: But first I gotta chop on my bitcoin first
BingoBoingo: And fuck it
BingoBoingo: Bed time

assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 04:43:53; asciilifeform: need hard ~dates~ as well as identity.
mircea_popescu: i suspect we might be belabouring under the burdens imposed by a design problem which ultimately stems from conceptual confusion.
mircea_popescu: there are very specifically TWO things we want to do here, and they are not miscible.
mircea_popescu: one is USE. specifically - hanbot must be able to put into work the theoretical advances b-a produces. and ima use her as a stand-in for "intelligent and willing to work, but not able to grow a beard".
mircea_popescu: the other is MANAGE. specifically - hanbot must also be able to evaluate the theoretical advances in question.
mircea_popescu: i am perfectly aware that a fine answer to both these is "just grow a beard", which is to say, "know", knight style, just "what is going on" so that you can reboot the machine into a working state. and "know", mp style, just whop the moles are.
mircea_popescu: this is not practicable, if for no other reason then because the very earth will end up growing a beard and that'll be bad for the climate.
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact, approaching the matter conversely, a straight github repository would be just fine from the M perspective if it were doubled by duly deedbotted hashes of the plaintext. and on the other hand, irrespectively how inscrutable -r content would be just fine from a U perspective, just as long as someone can somehow convert it into a plaintext they can sit down with, follow, and never be surprised.
mircea_popescu: and returning to the issue, the good quality recipes are exactly equivalent to the "wot of patches" management technique : they allow people to ride on the shoulders of giants ~of their own choice~.
mircea_popescu: this "choose your own giant" system is definitely powerful enough to take over the world, but we still gotta figure out a way to allow such seating.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 34600 @ 0.00052304 = 18.0972 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: and both sides gotta be done at the same time.
mircea_popescu: this is ultimately why foss failed. yes, it did (sort of, but originally much better than currently) allow the U seating part.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, because it failed to even conceptualize the M part, let alone address it, it remained open to attack which the us first probed (with its corporate tentacles, ms etc) and then crushed, with its agency teeth.
mircea_popescu: the reason this was possible is fortunately very easy to fix, once we understood what the hole was.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, a purely M wot will eventually fail, no matter how effectual or powerful it is (and it is, ftr, factually) on the financial side
mircea_popescu: which is why they're probing the U side atm.
asciilifeform: wai wat
mircea_popescu: from which leaf ?
mircea_popescu: what do you think all this "software for the people" kick is ?
mircea_popescu: actual, bona fide love of the multitudes ?
asciilifeform: ah, that
mircea_popescu: stalin despised the peasant, and the usg despises the scum we despise, equally if not moreso.
mircea_popescu: but just as the saying goes, past performance is no guarantee of future success. that we readily crushed the "omai, bigger blocks" initiative, like all "initiatives" to date does not offer any guarantee we'll manage next time.
mircea_popescu: the stator saving of the continuity feeling was too narrow for my liking.
asciilifeform: what can i say, go get more of me somewhere
mircea_popescu: mno. this is a tooling problem.
mircea_popescu: when you have a phd assembly line, the problem is not "insufficient phds"
asciilifeform: i just don't see it, really
mircea_popescu: which part ?
asciilifeform: plenty of folks who aren't the least 'phd' have built, and are running, the thing
asciilifeform: with griping, sweating, q&a, yes - but running.
mircea_popescu: how is this an argument and what does it argue for ?
asciilifeform: that the existing process is precisely correct
mircea_popescu: correctness is not in dispute.
mircea_popescu: correct it clearly is.
mircea_popescu: it's not effectual and won't scale is the dispute.
asciilifeform: what precisely means 'scale' ?
asciilifeform: in this context

asciilifeform: iirc she did

mircea_popescu: there's no reason for this to take a week to do.
asciilifeform: i did offer to help. what do i have to do, get on a plane with chalkboard in bag ?
mircea_popescu: why do you think it's about you anyway ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes sorta implied this
mircea_popescu: what does he know.
asciilifeform: but would like to think that it isn't, aha
mircea_popescu: anyway. the idea here is specifically that we want you to be in a position where the plane and chalkboard perspective doesn't loom.
asciilifeform would like this very much
chetty: go to meeting?
asciilifeform: (in unrelated newz, dulap is getting blackholed again)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc ben_vulpes has one
mircea_popescu: can we just design the thing, if for no other reason then for the exercise, and then see what already exists and if we like it ?
asciilifeform: i never objected to folks using 'git', 'mercurial', etc. - only to the notion that anything that can't come out of a printer and then ocr'd back in could be the canonical representation of the path from pedigreed 0.5.3 to us
mircea_popescu: ok, gefuxexperiment. suppose you get hit in the head, and go into a coma.
mircea_popescu: suppose you come back in 2025. suppose we've been living and thriving though this time.
mircea_popescu: you go to the ML, and lo, there's 1`677`321 messages in there.
mircea_popescu: how do you proceed ?
asciilifeform: i'd read them.
mircea_popescu: suppose you can't read at the pace new ones get added.
asciilifeform: sorta doing this with the linux kernel, actually
mircea_popescu: there's 75`000 contributors in 2025 alone.
asciilifeform: aaaaand this is when i decide that the thing has brain cancer.
asciilifeform: like linux !
asciilifeform: it is ~The~ test.
asciilifeform: software is not that intrinsically complicated.
mircea_popescu: looky here : i am a magical witch doctor that can spot where cancer starts.
mircea_popescu: care to hear where it started ?
asciilifeform: nothing needs 1`677`321 changes to go to zero kelvin !!
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i never objected to folks using 'git', 'mercurial', etc. - only to the notion that <
asciilifeform: and i say that no work of man needs 1`677`321 changes.
asciilifeform: or 677`321 for that matter.
mircea_popescu: depends how it's designed.
asciilifeform: in fact 7`321 is pushing it
mircea_popescu: reproduction is the work of man, and reproduction has TO DATE taken over 2 million strokes. today.
mircea_popescu: will take more.
asciilifeform: nah it's the work of 'aunt dumb'
mircea_popescu: if you design your thing like reproduction works, do not be surprised.
mircea_popescu: narciflattering but untrue.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to it : in ordere to ever reach 0 kelvin, you must use at least some elements that provably reduce temperature.
asciilifeform: this'd be the snip-snips.
mircea_popescu: ideally.
mircea_popescu: they need to be supported, is what im telling you.
mircea_popescu: atm we're veering dangerously close to the old -dev process, where they just shat magic stones.
asciilifeform: so let's have idea ?
mircea_popescu: let's have idea!
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu presently have ?
mircea_popescu: how would this b-a versioning system work ?
mircea_popescu: i do not, no.
mircea_popescu: i don't even fully understand wtf hole we're filing. tho i think i understand a lot better right now than 3 hours ago.
asciilifeform: i will add that a while ago i pictured myself in the predicament of folks trying to assemble the thing. which is why i included an unofficial flattened source with 'stator'
mircea_popescu: no, if you look at the history with open eyes it's quite clear we had this problem on back for a while now.
mircea_popescu: i swear this is a problem that's structural and should be solved, rather than just pushed against.
jurov: structural? ohmy mircea's going to ban something :D
asciilifeform: it is a problem. but i must point out that most of the troubles folks have spoken of so far do not stem from it. e.g., trinque et al with their misbehaving systems.
jurov: but srs, i have asked for patches context, was sent to go scour the log for it
punkman: context?
asciilifeform: jurov: link?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i bet you dollars to anything that the reason you don't get deluged in that is simply that moist folks are too interdicted by the task to even attempt, soi we don't hear about 99% of compat issues
mircea_popescu: jurov so you have.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: entirely possible

assbot: Logged on 01-08-2015 18:51:53; davout: second kid arrived, private pilot license in progress 70% pretty much sums it up :-)
mircea_popescu: lemme state apropos of nothing that if you blame people for process not only are you an incredibly bad manager, but your organisation will fail, and in so doing give everyone a sigh of relief.
asciilifeform: won't blame people, but will say that the state of the ecosystem (i.e. what folks are building on) is in such a sad state that the only plausible solution is os standardization
mircea_popescu: question : what if we ran this to look more like a wiki than a mailing list ?
asciilifeform: something i've been loathe to suggest because guess to whom the chore will fall
mircea_popescu: ie, all things we do have a "current page"
mircea_popescu: which lists everything
asciilifeform: that'd be very spiffy
mircea_popescu: changes, in the history tree - all signed.
asciilifeform: esp. if it can be limited to the wot set
mircea_popescu: can't see why not.
mircea_popescu: and that page can get sub-pages
asciilifeform: well, one reason why possibly not is that i suspect that the ml is as quiet as it is because signing things is arduous
mircea_popescu: for testing, for corner cases, for whatever the shit.
punkman just realizes he forgot to post working debug_sanity revision
mircea_popescu: jurov what do you think about switching to mediawiki ?
punkman: poor jurov :/
mircea_popescu: not the doing. the notion.
asciilifeform: wiki is a neat idea, but someone will have to invent signed-edits-wiki
mircea_popescu: last i heard it was os php
punkman: dokuwiki is a better candidate
punkman: much smaller
mircea_popescu knows nothing about these.
punkman: kako uses it on bitcoin-assets wiki as well
jurov: i use dokuwiki for some stuff, too. and it can be authed only once per seesion like assbot
asciilifeform: auth is easy, but how about verify ?
mircea_popescu: in practice, it'd prolly be more practical to transition deedbot and its site to this job i think
mircea_popescu: than the ml
asciilifeform: as in, can i download whole thing and attribute every delta to a wot person ?
jurov: i see it as minor change. majur obstacle is how to sanely track stuff who released, who signed
jurov: mere switch to wiki won't solve it
mircea_popescu: jurov what if the only way to add an edit is "deedbot pastebin/soandso" ?
punkman: with some metadata in diff files, we could have a script that creates a branched git repo entirely out of signed patch files
mircea_popescu: this is where im headed. have the syntax as a burden ON THE WRITER
mircea_popescu: not on the fucken reader. prolly 2/3 of our problem as is
mircea_popescu: so : you wanna contribute, use this and that markup, then rest is done by itself.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i once thought about placing antecedent hashes in patch headers
mircea_popescu: (reason is that stuff's written once, read many times)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here's what i want to accomplish, as a goal : i want to be able to put up a linux system, then go curl http://trilema.com/autobitcoin.sh | gpg -verify > autobitcoin.sh. and then run that autobitcoin.sh, which auto-follows the changes of people i have selected for this task, builds them and runs them
assbot: Page not found on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1DtYhd5 )
mircea_popescu: and the only time i hear of any peep from the entire shebang is when one of them has gone over and i need to come in here and start with the !rate -10
mircea_popescu: and i know this can be done because it's how fucking viruses work.
asciilifeform: the only way to guarantee that the selected set of authors adds up to a single nonconflicting merge is to only build official releases (that is, tree signed by mod6 & ben_vulpes)
asciilifeform: again with the meat models. in point of fact most viruses ~don't work~
mircea_popescu: gimme the mechanics, lemme worry about the people.
mircea_popescu: of course in point of fact most viruses don't work.
mircea_popescu: yet most people to date have been killed by viruses.
mircea_popescu: gimme the mechanics!
asciilifeform: as i understand, any mechanized thing really depends on patches stating their antecedents
jurov: is adding "applies-to" a problem?
asciilifeform: thinking of a modified unix-patch util that stuffs sha512 into comment preceding each file diff
asciilifeform: from patches like these, one could conceivably auto-build a dependency graph
mircea_popescu: jurov i dun see why it would be
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually a hashed diff / patch-util is a must irrerspective of anything else.
asciilifeform: i'm about to post an example
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how come it doesn't exist. must be a switch
jurov: i get it
jurov: though, with this in-band signalling we will limit ourselves to patch format
mircea_popescu: as opposed to what ?
jurov: there may be ned to publish other signed artifacts
mircea_popescu likes, perhaps irrationally, the patch format
jurov: like chicken.tar.gz was
mircea_popescu: i didn't care for that.
assbot: dpaste: 0MWBGJ1 ... ( http://bit.ly/1IpniDc )
assbot: dpaste: 04XFDSF ... ( http://bit.ly/1Ipnja8 )
mircea_popescu: in fact, if you ask diana_coman, she recently delivered a bot for eulora client, and i had her make me diffs.
asciilifeform: jurov: 'chicken' was a dire, necessary evil
mircea_popescu: i dunno how you folks understand code otherwise, might be that i'm rusty or inept, but anyway.
asciilifeform: because the alternative was a multi-megabyte pile of minus signs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not even sure the pile was worse.
jurov: diana_coman: you actually tried to apply the diffs?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12165 @ 0.00052304 = 6.3628 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: ~I~ applied the diffs.
mircea_popescu: with her there holding my hand
mircea_popescu: took an hour.
mircea_popescu: and yes, i applied, by hand, compiled, etc.
jurov: yes. far cry from just running some .sh
diana_coman: yes jurov, I did verify it, applied it etc
mircea_popescu: jurov sure.
asciilifeform: see the dpastes
asciilifeform: imho this would correct a fundamental flaw in the whole diff thing
diana_coman: it took me half an hour only, but yeah, I did not have to re-read the code or anything
asciilifeform: in that, having a bag of patches in hand, you could magically coalesce them into a dependency graph
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how do they handle the "armored"/asciifucks issue ?
jurov: by running gpg --decrypt on clearsigned text
asciilifeform: afaik this was never an issue with patches (they were attached as binaries)
jurov: no other way
asciilifeform: and detach-signed
asciilifeform: same as a tarball would be
asciilifeform: it was an issue with message text on ml
asciilifeform: hence the 'never, ever include a patch in message text' thing.
jurov: i like it. to be able to remove files without dumping whole contents, patch should be patched, too
asciilifeform: i will add, if it isn't obvious, that patches like the one i suggested will apply on a standard unix patch util
asciilifeform: jurov: it was not a thing before, because there was no way to guarantee that the contents are what the patch author thought they were
asciilifeform: but now - can.
asciilifeform: and thereby can safely snip a file after stating its checksum

shinohai: kk 1 sec
shinohai: returns 0 xD
mircea_popescu: then it's not that. prolly gotta pursue the memory issue.
shinohai: Watching tail though I see exactly what asciilifeform describes
mircea_popescu: ... what gives ?
shinohai: Where it attempts to connect but disconnects (no message in first 60 sec)
mircea_popescu: then why is grep returning 0. one or the other neh ?

mircea_popescu: mostly, yes.
trinque: and I can modify deedbot- however it helps; he already statically generates his site, perhaps he could interpret metadata in certain deeds and take action
mircea_popescu: the biggest headache to date for jurov/users of ml seems to have been the mailing itself. i wonder how much sense simply deedbotting messages would make.
mircea_popescu: this readily enforces the two restraings we want enforced, which is : a) wot restricted and b) signed permanently.
shinohai: asciilifeform, mircea_popescu: this is what I get http://dpaste.com/1889469

mircea_popescu: shinohai this is "normal"
mircea_popescu: in the sense of retarded but commonly seen
jurov: mircea_popescu: deedbot has currently even less friendly archives than mailman
shinohai: But not connecting to anyone at all isn't
mircea_popescu: jurov i wasn't proposing they be used as is.
jurov: email was chosed because it allows for structured text + attachments. not sure how to do it with deedbot
trinque: to date I've tried to keep it simple, hence the deeds are plain textfiles linked to by a single index
trinque: no reason I can't add some html nav around that a la dpaste
mircea_popescu: bears more thinking
jurov: yes the signed email + extra signed attachs is a kludge
jurov: there must be better system to put together few files + text that already has crypto or can be extended easily
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 49485 @ 0.00053671 = 26.5591 BTC [-]
trinque: the way git handles this is that "everything's a Blob" then "some Blobs are a Tree which points to n Blobs which may be Trees or Blobs"
trinque: you could implement the data structures needed for VCS atop deedbot in a similar manner
trinque: one thing that would be needed on my end is a saner URL for a given deed; it needs to just be the hash
trinque: easily done
jurov: how would it look for user? got a .txt, a .patch , now what?
trinque: so, git does it this way: there are Blobs, which are a k/v pair of which the k is the hash of the v; blobs can be one of: Reference, Commit, Tree, Blob
jurov: (currently on has to clearsign the .txt, make detached armored sig for .patch and use non-braindamaged email client to put them together)
jurov: i am not a git
jurov: :D
trinque: I probably missed one, and they also divide into further classifications, ref for example can be a tag, branch, stash
trinque: hehe
mircea_popescu: jurov word. there must be.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 125000 @ 0.00053491 = 66.8638 BTC [-] {3}
trinque: so if you say did the structured data in the "blobs" as sexps you could sign that text easily
trinque: and then maybe deedbot farts out additional nav controls on the html versions of these interesting deeds with a particular sexp in them
trinque: anyhow one thought.
punkman: drowning in rube goldberg?
trinque: implementing a VCS isn't rocket science; it's just a matter of getting the abstractions right
punkman: I don't want another VCS system. I just need a way to import patches in my existing VCS.
trinque: sure, and that's another thought
trinque: wrap git or mercurial or something in hooks which enforce the constraints desired
trinque: the requirement that signed and deeded patches be the primary representation of a contribution great appeal though, for obvious reasons

mod6: ascii_field has it
trinque: does it have to be clear?

mod6: will deedbot take 2 parameters, a non-signed .patch file and a detached signature and somehow colese them?
ascii_field: who thought this was a good idea, and why
trinque: thought gpg could wad a sig and a file together in other ways than clearsign
ascii_field: even worse, imho, in every respect, than ml

trinque: danielpbarron: punkman has it; --armor --sign

mod6: i'd like to make something better, this is for sure. just whatever it is, i wanna know that it is better, not just sideways.
punkman: 30 pages in, "Ada for Software Engineers", the code examples look gnarly
jurov: turdatron needs to take bundles of patch + manifest (at least, can be any other files aside from patches)
jurov: and metadata what the patch applies on
jurov: question is, how to do this all better?
mod6: good question. not sure that i have any useful answers here at this time.
mod6: other than what I already talked about and that's not really better either.
mod6: i guess im just trying to picture in my mind how i would have to use, step by step, the proposed system every single day.
mod6: and if those proposed steps are easier/better than what we currently hvae.
jurov: maybe we end up all using a script to put the package together and sign it.. but in this case it can just output an email message to be just fed to sendmail
jurov: or if someone come up with less turdy format than MIME

assbot: Gogs: Go Git Service - A painless self-hosted Git service ... ( http://bit.ly/1eTzyTP )
mod6: <+jurov> mod6 please look at bigget picture, nto jsut to this one step << i think partly ... my general concern is my understanding of how this proposed system would work. this concern is based on the fact that when the current system was proposed, i had the oppertunity to speak out and put in my say in the matter, but I didn't understand it so I don't think I objected very much. and now look at where we are.
mod6: so before I say "yup, that's it, that's the thing that gets us to where we want to be", i want to fully understand what I'm agreeing to use.
ascii_field: colour me thick, but i still don't get where the 'crisis' is
jurov: so you still not understand what's this all about?
ascii_field: yes, i agree with mircea_popescu re: how patches should embed hash of antecedent file. and imho this solves whatever problem exists (that is, enables it to be solved locally by any participant, in the style he prefers)
ascii_field: while preserving the simultaneously total and minimal representation of .patch
mod6: I think I need to see a concrete example of this - end to end. I just can't picutre it mentally.
jurov: yes that one is solved. but deedbot can be used only if clearsigned and without any accompanying text
jurov: mod6 you have seen alf's patch with embedded sha512 example?

mod6 looks
jurov: !up fromphuctor
mod6: ok and that sha512 hash is of the file /before/ the changes were made resulting in the patch?
mod6: (the unchanged original file)
jurov: yes
mod6: ok. will diff take that and run it and ignore that first line with the hash?
jurov: no, must roll ou our won diff/patch
jurov: *roll out
ascii_field: mod6: it will
ascii_field: because comment
mod6: it does now, or it will because we must now reinvent diff/patch ?
ascii_field: what it won't do is take the hash into account when patching
ascii_field: that requires either modified 'patch' util, or wrapped in perl etc
jurov: but it's universally usable to (1) determine what version patch applies to (2) allows to remove files without listing whole contents
mod6: ok forget that im still confused for a moment because im dumb, and maybe I'll just get it in a few minutes...
ascii_field: this magic pill lets you take a bag of patches, and determine in what order they apply
mod6: how do we reconsile this with the patches already created/applied
mod6: ?
ascii_field: by scripted brute force if necessary
ascii_field: mod6: easy. i take mine and sign'em again

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 41900 @ 0.00053807 = 22.5451 BTC [+] {4}
mircea_popescu: if it stays as a ml, becomes a wiki, somehow otherwise including deedbot or not changes i do not care per se
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-08-2015#1225956 << maybe i've nbot given consideration enough time, but it seems to me that if something can not be made into a text file, that something can't be part of a computer program. the making/demaking necessarily can be automated. << i didn't understand that this problem could be side-stepped with gpg --decrypt
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 18:55:16; mod6: now, it might be that I'm not exactly understanding what the proceedure for submitting to deed bot would be. but if clearsigned .patch files, that can not work.
mircea_popescu: just a pile of options that were considered
mircea_popescu: but i guess the consensus is pointing towards, ml gets restated with antecedents, trinque writes a grapher for it all ?
jurov: so, ml can stay as is (without filename mutilation)?
mircea_popescu: well, grapher+verifier ideally.
ascii_field: that was my original suggestion earlier, yes
mircea_popescu: i have no objections to this
ascii_field: it would make it possible for, e.g., hanbot, to view the 'patchchain' cleanly
ascii_field: and ask meaningful questions about branches
jurov: plus it will detect (and optionally show decoded )clearsigned patches?
mircea_popescu: and ideally, have it spit out a "final version" with regressions accessible through some procedure (clicking)
ascii_field: jurov: the problem is that gpg 'escaping' is not a reversible operation
ascii_field: in that it is impossible for the machine to determine that a particular '- -' is to be transformed into a '-' or not
mircea_popescu: you just remove "- " from all lines :D
ascii_field: the 'escape' operation is thermodynamically lossy.
mod6: ascii_field: so does `gpg --decrypt` work for that as danielpbarron & jurov said?
ascii_field: mod6; decrypt ?
mod6: they said ...
mod6 scrolls back
ascii_field: it solves nothing
jurov: well, if gpg can't undo it and it causes the patch to fail...then it fails.
jurov: sender will have to resend with detached sig
mod6: <+danielpbarron> can't you unmutilate by using gpg --decrypt ? <+jurov> mod6 just do gpg --decrypt and it undoes it
ascii_field: 'undoes'
ascii_field: will destroy certain non-escaped text.
ascii_field: as described earlier.
mod6: so mutilates
mod6: ok then we're settled.
mod6: i guess for me thats the one big thing, we can't have any mutilation of the patch files. or we'll just find ourselves banging our heads all the time.
jurov: it computes shasums of everything submitted already
mircea_popescu: i just tried this... it doesn't mutilate on encrypt/decrypt
jurov: can check easily
mod6: and honestly, this is no poor reflection on deedbot. the thing is cool.
mircea_popescu: ie, - came out as - and - - as - -
ascii_field: that's because the output of 'encrypt' is a base64 turd that isn't expected to coexist with text the way a clearsigned string is.
jurov: as with xorg buffer, i'm curious, will see if anyone submits something with valid sig that gpg fails to unescape.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12800 @ 0.00052531 = 6.724 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: ascii_field right
mod6: ah, encrypt/decrypt, but we want clearsign or am i misunderstanding this?
ascii_field: mod6: somebody wanted 'clearsigned patches'
jurov: mod6 decrypt on *clearsigned* file
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-08-2015#1226063 << a man who burned himself with the soup...
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 19:20:55; mod6: so before I say "yup, that's it, that's the thing that gets us to where we want to be", i want to fully understand what I'm agreeing to use.
ascii_field: and i was trying to explain that this is deeply broken
jurov: will spew out the original
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-08-2015#1226063 << a man who burned himself with the soup... << lol indeed
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 19:20:55; mod6: so before I say "yup, that's it, that's the thing that gets us to where we want to be", i want to fully understand what I'm agreeing to use.
mircea_popescu: tbh an equivalent of the callgraph / mike's wot graph but for PATCHES would not be amiss.
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_field
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: to be clear, that is precisely what i had in mind when suggested the hash embed thing
mircea_popescu: have all the wot listed on the side. have all the patches AS A TREE listed next to it. have relations from wot tyo patches.
mircea_popescu: this would help me immensely.
jurov: can enlist trinque or anyone's help with graphics
mircea_popescu: so basically ml as restateds + grapher in the sense of the above, svg (clickable) is really the definitive word on this ?
jurov: clickable svg *gasp* :D
mircea_popescu: already sounds like a quantum leap tbh
mircea_popescu: jurov wut!
ascii_field: this is precisely what i had in mind, aha
mircea_popescu: mod6 ^ give that a long think.
ascii_field: (when i said 'graph walker' earlier today)
mircea_popescu: trinque and with a bonus "click here for this patch" and "click here for this patch + all its antecedents" spew.
ascii_field: 'show who signed this'
ascii_field: 'load all sigs'
ascii_field: first needs the chicken, err, the embedded antecedent indicators
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 ^ give that a long think. << i like this idea with the wot graph + source patches as a tree next to it so relations can be easily seen & drilled into.
mircea_popescu: i knew this was a tooling problem mostly. pretty much 99% of all that's needed is already here.
mircea_popescu: just need to amass the pile into a sane shape
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> already sounds like a quantum leap tbh << it is.
mircea_popescu: and opbvciously, with a checkbox "allow this antecedent"
mircea_popescu: pruning the tree of all ulteriors that depend on an unclicked patch
jurov: and "launch missiles"

mod6: <+jurov> mod6 decrypt on *clearsigned* file << this indeed works. created file A.txt. copied A.txt to B.txt and subtracted some lines. created a unified diff of both. clearsigned the diff -- which is mutilated for escaped hyphens. upon `gpg --decrypt` of the clearsigned output patch file, i get the same hash as the pre-clearsigned hash file.
mod6: *patch file.
mod6: main difference seems to be... we would now need to enter our password every time to verify the signature as opposed to just --verify
ascii_field: no-go.
mod6: oh actually, im wrong about that.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 47037 @ 0.00055025 = 25.8821 BTC [+] {5}
mod6: it doesn't ask. derp.
ascii_field: this is still procrustean
mod6: was gonna say. "how does that makes sense?!"
mod6: had to look that up.
mod6: ok well, yah
jurov: ;;ud procrustean
gribble: Google found nothing.
mod6: ok so another question i have about the deedbot way.. would be: if we submit a patch to deedbot, how do we tie a message to that same submission? say we wanna be like "Hey, this thing is neat!" Will it need to reference anothe deedbot submission or does the patch have to come after our statment in the clearsigned message?
jurov: you can just submit both at once
jurov: or otherwise suggest to deedbot they're related
ascii_field: throw message prior to the first 'diff ....' in the ,patch
ascii_field: but for the record i think this 'cram all in one file' thing is braindamaged.
mod6: im not ciked about that either.
ascii_field: braindamaged and entirely unnecessary.
ascii_field: throw hashes in deedbot, sure. or even uuencodes. but to make it a canonical repository of anything else, is a microscope-hammer.
ascii_field: or perhaps more of a hammer-microscope.
jurov: having an option to tell deedbot "present these together on one page" should suffice
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 57150 @ 0.00052119 = 29.786 BTC [-] {4}
mod6: but then you could just have detached sigs?
mod6: that would be the way to do it as I said earlier. but not sure if that's really feasable.
mod6: !up ascii_field
ascii_field: detached sigs are the way to go, imho.
ascii_field: esp since >1 person can sign a patch
ascii_field: there is not a 1:1 mapping between sigs & patches
ascii_field: storing the same text >1 time is retarded
ascii_field: dealing with mutilations - likewise
mod6: well and probably error prone if he/she has to cut the upper text out just to get down to "bare" patch to re-clearsign and submit to deedbot... could miss line, something bad.
mod6: etc

mod6: ok so was kinda thinking about something here... so we all love to hate the mailing list in a way - but it's a decent spot to post new things, experimental, SoBAs etc. But it's not good for keeping track of patches that /actually/ are accepted and a part of a given "release".
mod6: but what if we then, say, at the end of a testing/release cycle were to (instead of signing or as well as posting to the mailing list) post the plaintext patch and a detach signature from the originating author, myself & ben to deedbot as a perm storage for these patches?
mod6: trinque thinks this might be able to be implemented without moving heaven and earth
mircea_popescu: "Good Forth programmers reportedly don't use much of those. Good Forth programmers arrange things so that they flow on the stack. " this is mel redivivus innit. most pessimum!
mircea_popescu: mod6 why'd it need anything moved at all ?
mod6: oh, i think he was saying that he would need to implement accepting a second argument and making it so that the URL contains a hash of the original plaintext patch.
trinque: mircea_popescu: he's considering a case where the thing would be able to accept new detached sigs for existing deeds
BingoBoingo thinks whole problem is that 'patch' demands line numbers instead of using nearby lines of code as landmarks
mod6: that way it sort of also solves the problem of keeping track of who signed which patch. since deedbot stores these sigs in a horizontal fashion next to the address.
mircea_popescu: promises to make a nightmare of management tho.
mircea_popescu: how do i do "find me all people who signed this" ?
trinque: that calls for a second screen which would group by deed and list the sigs
mod6: i guess this thought was sort of a work in progress.
mod6: maybe something can be added? like trinque is saying? i dunno.

mod6: so i guess all in all, the deedbot solution, if it can be created, seems better than my initial proposal of 2 mailing lists; one for everything, one for patches accepted only. which seems simple as well, but now we have to manage two lists.
mod6: on the other side of the coin, if we do something like this with deedbot, we need to ensure a mirror is always available.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha
mircea_popescu: if it isn't, something's fundamentally broken in the entire "forth anything" claims.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: good exercise for someone who isn't me
decimation: sure, it could be done
mircea_popescu: and yes, i would ghuess the whole pile as it stands atm is just about 1mn loc
asciilifeform feels distinct sense of being led into perdition
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not you in any case.
asciilifeform: plz not me
asciilifeform: but studentz!
decimation: right now the only folks who 'can do' have 1 mn loc C++ shit driving a massive complex custom chip
mircea_popescu: anyone but you.
n6: The bot is giving me a otp for a subkey 3594E367, that I can't decrypt but its telling me Key 05D01131 is what its sending me im at a loss for how to fix this can anyone help?
asciilifeform: wake up students.
mircea_popescu: !gettrust n6
assbot: Trust relationship from user mircea_popescu to user n6: Level 1: 0, Level 2: 1 via 1 connections. |http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/trust/?from=mircea_popescu&to=n6 | http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/n6/
mircea_popescu: is your key08D9FFEA07653167CF49191B977815A105D01131 ?
n6: yes.
mircea_popescu: do a ! command
mircea_popescu: like !rate mircea_popescu 1 or something
mircea_popescu: so we see what it tells you
n6: !rate mircea_popescu 1 nice blog
assbot: Request successful, get your OTP: http://w.b-a.link/otp/7994cda8f311fc95
mircea_popescu: gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID 3594E367
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla any idea ?
n6: Would revoking the key fix this?
mircea_popescu: no, don't do that.
n6: But its a subkey of the 05D01131
mircea_popescu: so then why can't you decrypot wioth it ?
n6: I'm not sure says no prviate key, but I thought this was an encrypt only key? at a loss
asciilifeform: encrypt-only key?!!!
asciilifeform: aka 'someone else's pubkey' ?
mircea_popescu: wtf is an encrypt only key
mircea_popescu: you mean sign only ?
n6: yes.
n6: I have the private key for the main ID 05D01131 but not 3594E367
mircea_popescu: how did you end up with a pubkey-only key ?!
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 39950 @ 0.00053096 = 21.2119 BTC [+] {3}
mircea_popescu: and whyt do you imagien you can revoke a key if you don't have its privkey
n6: I'm not sure.
asciilifeform: calling mr babbage!
asciilifeform: '...I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.'
mircea_popescu: n6 so do you know how it ended up there then ?
n6: No.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4738 @ 0.0005438 = 2.5765 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform suppose one day sks servers list a random key for you too ?
BingoBoingo: Fuck I am not drunk enough for this shit.
mircea_popescu: anyway i think assbot should always use the main not some random subkey
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i entirely expect they will
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and you, and you
mircea_popescu: well so then.
n6: Where do I go from here?
mircea_popescu: n6 gotta wait for kako to come on and see wtf.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 44700 @ 0.00053158 = 23.7616 BTC [-] {6}
mircea_popescu: but needless to say this is not a normal state for your key.
assbot: Police: Suspect reported dead at Nashville area theater - WSMV Channel 4 ... ( http://bit.ly/1IOtOqA )
trinque: airsoft gun lol
trinque: "you'll shoot your eye out!"
decimation: how is it possible for someone else to add a subkey? isn't it signed by the main key?
n6: Should have been more careful with my keys this seems like user error on my end rather then somehting wrong with the bot. Why can't I just revoke the subkey with the sec key from the main key?
decimation: because the sks server will keep your revoked key forever
decimation: I'm not sure which one assbot will pick to auth
asciilifeform: 'The Global Mall, which is located next to the theater, was placed on lock down during the active shooter situation. The Ford Ice Center was also placed on lock down and remained closed for the rest of the day.'
asciilifeform: ^ 'lockdown' is originally an american prison term
asciilifeform: and means precisely same thing
decimation: heh yeah that's a good point
decimation: the media often uses phrases like that
asciilifeform: not a mediatron phrase
decimation: wtf does it mean to have a mall on 'lockdown'?
decimation: like, don't leave so you can be shot too?
asciilifeform: actually used in Official communications
asciilifeform: aha, precisely
trinque: probably shutting all the gates for the stores
asciilifeform: nobody in, nobody out.
asciilifeform: ~nobody out~
asciilifeform: btw this is also done when a lizard (or lizard fellator) is passing through town
trinque: we had "lockdown" in my shitty Florida middle school
asciilifeform: e.g., restaurants in dc
trinque: for brawls, weapon situations, etc
asciilifeform: won't let patrons in ~or out~ when bushamamobile
asciilifeform: or when cheney/biden is eating
asciilifeform: across the street
trinque: as a child with books in his home I remember being quite surprised that this was a thing
asciilifeform: which this
trinque: being bussed to a school full of black kids eating each other, more or less
asciilifeform: been in one too
decimation: as a kid in the early 90's I don't remember this being a thing
decimation: lockdowns
asciilifeform: no lockdowns though
trinque: depends on the gang situation in your town
asciilifeform: these were introduced after the columbine incident
trinque: orcs at this school were fully grown in terms of their fucking, fighting and stealing capacity
asciilifeform: i did attend a school which as a result of the latter forbade... backpacks.

assbot: Backfire or Gunfire? Authorities continue to piece together inve - WSMV Channel 4 ... ( http://bit.ly/1IOuBrJ )
asciilifeform: likewise lulzy
asciilifeform: 'The investigation is ongoing and there is no confirmation as to whether the incident involved was a shooting at all.'
asciilifeform: ^^^ ! ^^^
decimation: actually why should it be surprising in schools? same wards of the state as the gulag
asciilifeform: it isn't surprising. school and prison similarity is a painfully well-documented thing.
asciilifeform: (see john gatto etc.)
trinque: asciilifeform: the highschool in my hometown was designed by a prison architect
trinque: (I went to another due to a magnet program)
trinque: but the thing was intended to have "no corners to hide in"
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 54783 @ 0.00055892 = 30.6193 BTC [+]
trinque: at any rate, I never suffered under the delusion that the folks around me were any measure of sane
