asciilifeform: it is astonishing, the gurlz have faces
asciilifeform: and when i look at them they look back like humanbeings
danielpbarron: are you at a bar asciilifeform ?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: nope
asciilifeform: what made you think i was
asciilifeform: i merely was describing some of my observations from this excursion to outside of my jail.
asciilifeform: unfortunately it is not as easy to go out of inner jail.
Framedragger: "unfortunately it is not as easy to go out of inner jail." << i picture here a seneca with a screwdriver

Framedragger: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ohey i know this hosting company :D the physical server is probably in šiauliai, a small town with good uplink heh
Framedragger: i think i once contacted them about running a tor exit node there, they had said well if you put in your own reverse dns info for the ip block we give you then we 100% don't give a shit
Framedragger: but mircea_popescu you of course know that lithuania is like 169% US's bitch. this was confirmed with drug market raids etc etc, but it's a generally known fact anyway. that being said, heh, cool.
Framedragger: (^ failed paste, nslookup yields 46.166.165.30, but no diff)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform traveling best thing to ever happen to you huh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> what made you think i was << how excited you sounded :D
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i honestly don't give a shit what small national governments think they're doing or not doing or whatever. "lithuania" the subject of law is as unrecognized as usg is. no relation to anything, no power to anything, they can write bluntman and chronic comics about how "it is" an' "keep it real" if they so wish.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of which, anyone saw "chasing amy" ? the piece of shit is iiiiincredible in terms of sheer soviet propagandaness, it's basically a 1997 intro manual for how to be a "sensitive" aka dickless libtard boi.
mircea_popescu: replete with "asa da!" / "asa nu!" miniscenes, "ask amy" cameos and all the rest of the stupid. total fucking wow.
mircea_popescu: and, as a sad testament of just how fucking stupid usians actually are/were, it'd seem they mostly bought it, too.
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : fig.co (supposedly, "kickstarter for games").
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah of course - i just meant that any LT servers cannot be considered to be "bullet-proof"; but maybe you were not aiming for the latter in terms of phuctor hosting anyway
mircea_popescu: i am not aware of any services that can be considered bulletproof much like i'm not aware of any electoral process that can be considered representative, any computer code that can be considered correct or any fiat financial item that can be considered not a scam.

Framedragger: e.g. 2x4.ru have a reputation of being more hardcore; i know this sounds naive and it probably is, but i've heard this from trustable sysadmins running, er, shadier stuff. this is of course anecdotal and it's naive to trust someone with your hardware anyway.

mircea_popescu: Framedragger what do you mean "it's not all the same" ? it IS all the same ; what's gonna happen, they're going to get a supoena and they're going to say fuck you, and shoot the issuing judge ?
mircea_popescu: that's the whole point : that until and unless ~we~ actulaly do a thing, all the other things are EXACTLY all the same.
mircea_popescu: or, as the classical expression goes, vanitas vanitatum.
mircea_popescu: (and yes, the classical imprecation to not build yourself fortunes/castles/a life atop the vanities of the fiat world ; but instead collect your fortune, house and life in the WoT stands quite exactly.)
mircea_popescu: that's the ultimate meaning of all the christian blundering to date : they were trying to build the republic and had nfi.
Framedragger: fair enough. but i also tell you that there are hosting providers which say fuck you to LE of specific states; but ultimately it boils down to the same security question: "how important are you?" - if you're important enough then sentimentalities of sysadmins will be ignored.
mircea_popescu: and there are wolves that don't eat your sheep. nice.
mircea_popescu: if you're important enough then sentimentalities of sysadmins will be ignored. << this, incidentally, isn't a matter of neglect ; it is a matter of design. consider it works exactly as a sort of "training for unimportance".
mircea_popescu: whole matter ties right into why i do not consider anonymity a valid approach.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, if you go by this currently fashionable "i'll aim to be nobody and call it privacy ; and to do nothing worth the mention and call it security", the only certainty is that you'll be nobody and have done nothing, which is exactly the fucking purpose of the socialist state - death in your time.
mircea_popescu: the correct, if obviously harder, path is to be someone AND do something. and if they bitch, escalate, indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: odds are you'll get killed ; but the only certainty is the socialist state won't survive.
Framedragger: yeah. i mean one day i'll grow balls and get out of my comfort zone of sorta-pseudo-anonymity. your points are valid here, even though i think it's possible to do useful/productive work under pseudo/anonymity. this doesn't work if you require the *world* to recognize your awesomeness, of course :)
Framedragger: but it's possible to maintain stable pseudo identities in groups of people wherein those identities are recognized for what they do; etc etc.
mircea_popescu: sure ; this says nothing of pseudonymity.
BingoBoingo: Framedragger: Pseudonymity is different. You ARE the pseudonym.
mircea_popescu: all "identity" is pseudonimity/
Framedragger: hm, yeah.
Framedragger: right you are; i was mixing the terms to further my point
Framedragger: true anonymity kinda sux in terms of achievement.
mircea_popescu: see, but any construction of identity in terms other than pseudonimity (such as, "issuing" of "id" as opposed to generating rsa key) is merely a ploy by the socialist state, designed specifically to introduce a red herring in the conversation.
Framedragger: s/achievement/just getting things done/
Framedragger: designed to introduce an external implicit trust node
Framedragger: right.
mircea_popescu: they aim to misrepresent the pseudonimity-anonimity debate as governmentidentity-anonimity, and thus change the result.
mircea_popescu: much like when they want obama to win, they propose a contest between obama and another identical fucktard, rather than between obama and someone who isn't a system fucktard.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger there's some minimal gains via anonimous systems (see the whole anon/loic/times man of the year/blabla stuff). it is juvenile.
mircea_popescu: it is in fact right and proper for the juvenile to be anon and then graduate to wot.

asciilifeform: why not cut out the dead weight.

asciilifeform: they are legion.
asciilifeform: sorta like police judge's relation to actual judgw
mircea_popescu: note that it also misses pretty much everyting : the badge/id number of responsible agent is missing, there's no direct contact phone, etc.
asciilifeform: isn't that an elementary part of mircea_popescu's observation re 'usg corporate shield that you must break and re-personalize the interaction'
asciilifeform: naturally policeman doesn't introduce himself by name
mircea_popescu: but he is required to do so by law an' regulation.
asciilifeform: consider how when they break down a door, they wear masks
asciilifeform: like any other bandit.
asciilifeform: like stereotypical executioner
mircea_popescu: otherwise... a piece of pdf reading "supoena" is not distinguishable or to be distinguished from an email reading "you have won the google intel microsoft award"
mircea_popescu: and the policy is to shoot masked people breaking down doors.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the idea is that it is distinguished by the crashing sound as 50 heavily armed bandits break in
mircea_popescu: like any other bandit.
asciilifeform: shoot, shoot

BingoBoingo: Well don't live there. Maybe try asking Chicago cop which where you get the best hotdogs in town? Throw out how you think this just might be the Cubs year to win it all. Chances are he'll talk like a person and leak intel.

trinque takes his demerit
asciilifeform: i oughta ask adlai what pill to take so that the corn will ~listen~.
shinohai: Corn is a good listener imo
asciilifeform: anyway i like ~actual cities~
mod6: so I think, hopefully sometime today, i'll send out t.pl to the ML as is - however i don't really expect anyone to use t.pl themselves. sending it to the ML for more of posterity purposes.
mod6: people will be expected to interact {add,edit,remove,view} tickets through tbot - which is probably .. eh, 70% complete.
mod6: maybe 80%.
shinohai: Can i break it again? :D
ben_vulpes: trinque: lol
mod6: shinohai: heh, hopefully by the time we're done there it'll hold together.
mod6: we're pretty close to the first testing of it in here -- have some loose ends to tie up (the remaining ~20%). if history is any guide, there will be more to do as change requests, etc. but at least we'll have somethign that works.

gribble: Error: You haven't asked me a command; perhaps you want to see someone else's more. To do so, call this command with that person's nick.
mod6: got all the tomatoes, basil, pumpkins, eggplants, squash, and r. lettuce planted in the pouring rain. tomorrow: strawberries, watermelon, broccoli, early/late cabbage, short/long cukes, brussel sprouts, and dill
mod6 gardener
mod6: lol
shinohai: Just thing of how that will taste on the grille with some phesant mod6 :D
BingoBoingo: mod6: You don't do seeds? You let big greenhouse start your plants? :(
mod6: yeah! man, phesant is excellent.
mod6: BingoBoingo: yeah. for now, just learning. was actually thinking, while getting drenched, if I can find a place to start from seeds & get appropriate sun, would do it.
mod6: a little short on space for that. :/
mod6: but ~maybe~ next year.
BingoBoingo: What about where you put the plants from big greenhouse?
BingoBoingo: Seeds start just fine in the dirt.
mod6: well, its pretty much ungrowable until like first week of may here.
shinohai: germinare well in fridge as well! >.>
shinohai: *germinate
mod6: i dunno, i guess i could. my understanding was that most of these greenhouses start the seeds in like march time-frame. but maybe i'm way off there.
mod6: i've seen it snow here on June 1st before.
mod6: in your fridge?!
mod6: huh. i'll have to do that next year and see how it goes.
mod6: i think the real trick is to collect the seeds from the plants.
shinohai: Yeah soak those fuckers then trick seeds into thinking spring
mod6: not sure exactly how to do that on some of them. like tomatoes and cukes are obvious, but what about the cabbabe and dill, etc?
mod6: shinohai: aight, cool. will give that a shot next year.
BingoBoingo: Just get some jiffy pots and put the seeds in the window sill them?
mod6: that's the one problem. not a lot of window-sill real-estate for that shit. plus: cats.
mod6: they fuck up all plants.
mod6: anyway, thanks for the advice. will test that next year for sure.
BingoBoingo: Send them to vacation with alf in chicago for a few months until the frost threat leaves?
mod6: he's going to chiraq?
asciilifeform: lel i'm going home presently
shinohai: It's ok asciilifeform it appears she is in my home town too! How quaint.
asciilifeform: spamolade
asciilifeform: was obvious instantly from photo
asciilifeform: unless yer blind
shinohai: I'm drunk so imma call her pimp and ask if they want a railroad job.
asciilifeform: shinohai: collect nigerian million first
asciilifeform: it will help.
shinohai: This is Nigeria. If I don't get new 1 Trillion bill I'm going home.
shinohai: *100 trillion
mircea_popescu: mod6 rain planting works for the plants :D
mod6: yeah, they certainly got a new home.
mod6: i was up to my gd eyeballs in mud lol
mod6: i told the girls that we'll try by seed germ. next yaer, but they agreed that'd be a pita.
mod6: a good test either way tho
shinohai: Here no rain but still 28°C - sweating balls
asciilifeform not looking forward to reswamping
mod6: its like 16C here
mod6: er, 18
mircea_popescu: mod6 you could try making a hard transparent plastic foil lean-to
mircea_popescu: basically put a wooden frame like an old screen door or w/e upright, and the plastic from it.
mod6: ah, like a little greenhouse ?
mod6: that'd be rather awesome if that's what you mean, and it might come to that tbh.
mircea_popescu: yeah, it should be enough to get the seedlings up
mircea_popescu: just make sure you orient it for sun/wind
mod6: *nod* would take care of the cat problem too.
shinohai: .22 LR also takes care of cat problems.
asciilifeform: shinohai: savage
mod6: haha, so will bathtub with water.
mod6: but, eitherway, i happen to like these fuckers.
asciilifeform: cat is a useful and ornamental animal
asciilifeform: i cultivate them wherever i live
mod6: they are amazing hunters.
shinohai: Yeah I have a cat I adore, jut those feral ones that tear up stuff
asciilifeform: i cultivate those specifically.
shinohai: One cannot simply make pets of them
shinohai: Or perhaps asciilifeform has method previously unknown to hoomans
mod6: one cat that used to be an "outdoor" cat in my radius would bring me mice like everyday. i felt bad because i couldn't bring him one. :/
asciilifeform: my method is to not demand anything of wild critters
asciilifeform: let'em be, enjoy watching
shinohai: Enjoy watching what, my garbage strewn all over driveway?
asciilifeform: shinohai: if you feed'em something nice, they won't look for garbage.
shinohai: Here kitty, kitty. Come eat this nice steak that asciilifeform paid for.
shinohai: You no longer must eat garbage!
asciilifeform: a dose of kibble is a few cents
shinohai: I tried putting the housecat kibble out, still they persist.
asciilifeform: what's in your garbage anyway
asciilifeform: raw fish?
shinohai: Perhaps tuna cans at best.
asciilifeform: so feed'em the scraps.
shinohai: I'd be more than happy to feed the lot of them, tuna, kibble, whatever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you'd be fuckinbg happy in istanbul.
mircea_popescu: i think 1mn people of the same mind live there. i've never seen as many cats.
mircea_popescu: prolly 1bn cats live within a 200 mile radius
asciilifeform: meow!11
mod6: meow is right
mircea_popescu: on the upside, pigeons aren't much of a problem
mod6: lol
asciilifeform: can't picture a rat lasting long there
mircea_popescu: yeah, they do, because they gang together in wet spots
mircea_popescu: cat's aren't that persistent.
asciilifeform: hm interesting
shinohai: Anywho, please don't think I'm evil because I suggest a varmit gun. I do love my cat because no other good reading companion.
phf: they literally build cat houses in public parks with elaborate architecture, i've seen four or five of those
mircea_popescu: we think you're evil just for sport.
mircea_popescu: phf ah, right, you been there. tell 'em about the catmania!
phf: but on the flip side every side street smells like a russian apartment complex back stairs
phf: they address their cats "citizen cat" in turkish
asciilifeform: lol phf had same back stairs i did apparently!
mircea_popescu: or they sold same vodka
asciilifeform: ahahahah
shinohai: lolz
mircea_popescu: you know the joke with the assburning btw ?
phf wants to hear the joke with assburning
mircea_popescu: in this alternate universe, the comrade general secretary of the central committee of the romanian communist party, comrade nicolae ceausescu isn't shot
mircea_popescu: but instead just sorta... sent out to bum the rest of his days
mircea_popescu: and he's kinda depressed, and haunts this lowest of the lowest dive,
mircea_popescu: where this one eyed lame bartender asks him religiously what he wants to drink ? vodka ? samogon ? gasoline ? solvent ?
mircea_popescu: and he picks vodka, gets plastered, goes out and falls in a ditch where he falls asleep
mircea_popescu: a local faggot, seeing the man sleeping in a ditch, pulls down his pants, fucks him in the ass,
mircea_popescu: then when done stuffs a 30 cent bill in his pocket and departs.
mircea_popescu: ceausescu wakes up eventually, rifles own pockets, disocvers money, drags self back to bar
mircea_popescu: vodka ? samogon ? gasoline ? solvent ?
mircea_popescu: drinks another vodka, gets plastered, goes to same ditch falls alseep.
mircea_popescu: faggot fucks him again.
mircea_popescu: ceausescu wakes up again, rifles own pockets again, disocvers money again, drags self back to bar.
mircea_popescu: vodka ? samogon ? gasoline ? solvent ?
mircea_popescu: gimme some of that brandy, this damned vodka's making my asshole burn.
phf: heh
mircea_popescu: (samogon, for the innocent, is a "anything you got" sort of brandy that long predates vodka)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: moonshine in engl
mircea_popescu: i guess. not really the same item at all.
asciilifeform: moonshine.
asciilifeform: they have a word for it.
asciilifeform: like prolly everyone.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform moonshine is this tenessee cvasi-whiskey.
asciilifeform: brb airplane
mircea_popescu: (ie, corn or generally cereal mash distillate)
mircea_popescu: heh they give him plane money ? i'd have expected he has to walk.
