mircea_popescu: all_internet_ssh_banners.txt.tar.gz 109 0 11.16 GB 102.38 MB so far ; not the end of teh world.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ah, that's cool and useful, ty
mircea_popescu: actually, 2nd largest bw eater this month, i also served 12 GB worth of http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/lit.txt
mircea_popescu: but that's been #1 pretty much since april.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's an iffy thing from my pov, because on one hand you know, you did it i should link it ; but on the other i dunno how many people'd click and how well you're set-up for it. anyway if you'd like a blog linked or something do say.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: thanks. in point of fact a blog is now in actual plans, not only oneday-maybewaybe. :) re. capacity to handle, at least the connection is unmetered, and it's just static nginx. but it's not anything big. so this is useful and appreciated.
mircea_popescu: cool deal.
mircea_popescu checked, about half of that was in the first half hour (thanks god for delayed rss otherwise it'd prolly be within five minutes eh!) so that's like 3MB/s jus' there.
shinohai: "Let's ALL scrap GPG, getting too hard to spy on peeps" https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/12/giving_up_on_pg.html
mircea_popescu: Framedragger not so much a matter of the webserver itself, the load on that is minimal for large file transfers ; but from experience most hosters offer 1Mbps to 1MBps links unless actually specified. and this is outide of any "intelligent" throttling at the router interface etc.
mircea_popescu: shinohai ironically we're also giving up on gpg, for the exactly opposite reason.
mircea_popescu: there's a lesson in this, where being a jwz dun pay. gotta pick sides, loud and clear.
shinohai: I shall make haste to leave these walls the day you recommend using signal+tor
mircea_popescu: the incredible audacity of the usg assets. really, they are STILL pushing tor ?
mircea_popescu: it's about equivalent to mit still pushing ethereum.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah, good point. well the hosting provider is ~shitty and quality of bw offered is not great (OVH), but it *does* make a more-or-less successful attempt at providing an actual full duplex 100 mbps, which isn't a lot, but still decent to my liking. so at least there's that.
Framedragger: even Framedragger doesn't push tor anymore. *and that's telling you somethin'* :D
mircea_popescu: i honestly don't know anyone (who is someone, i don't mean kids with no money, no power and no value dicking about ; and who isn't actually nsa) is still using the thing.
mircea_popescu: so it is somewhat moot. they might as well advertise microsoft powerclip + yahoo briefcase as a solution, for all the difference it'd make.
mircea_popescu: and god knows both those "corporations" need it badly.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger you actually saw this in action ? ie, served 40ish GB in any given hour or anything like that ?
Framedragger: (i use tor to access things like library genesis while still in airstrip one, but that says more about airstrip one than anything else.)
mircea_popescu: !~google library genesis
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Library Genesis / LibGen - The Meta Library - Sites - Google: <https://sites.google.com/site/themetalibrary/library-genesis>; Library Genesis - Reddit: <https://www.reddit.com/r/libgen/>; Libgen.cc: <http://libgen.cc/>
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: well, didn't *serve*, but benchmarked myself. i can try again tho, that was long ago
mircea_popescu: ah, same thing.
mircea_popescu: note though that sub-hour benchmarks are meaningless.
Framedragger: (oh oh, and also trying out masscan (the first-stage scanner, i.e. the one which sends TCP SYNs) with maybe 30-100k packets per second stable))
mircea_popescu: if you do it for say 10 seconds, well doh, they allow it.
Framedragger: yeah sure.
Framedragger will consider testing it. would be useful knowledge, i.e. OVH *is* cost effective for not-super-important "lower grade hardware ok" deployments
mircea_popescu: which is why like half of malware is hosted there
Framedragger: certainly. (also while on topic, large part of tor relay network. "decentralization!!!")
mircea_popescu: lol. right.
mircea_popescu: this is a fucking issue ffs. if the world worked like FOSS ~pretends it worked~ then we'd have LIKE HALF A DOZEN ssh protocol definitions ; which'd still interoperate ; and from hundreds to just one implementations of each of those. by distinct people in distinct teams.
mircea_popescu: irl, there's ssh 2.0 and ssh 2. 0 ; and ~one implementation, by a known-bad team.
mircea_popescu: what fucking foss. there is no foss. microsoft is the natural structure of ustards and everyone taking after them ; which is to see in a hurry to see results and in no particular mood to examine the quality thereof.
Framedragger: in unrelated newz, while installing an ubuntu package,
Framedragger: > 173 new root certificates were added to your trust store.
Framedragger: uh. how about, fuck your mother
mircea_popescu: the third most commonly seen ssh protocol is a misspelling of the most common one pushed out by mistake years ago!
mircea_popescu: Framedragger lol but you get free stuff for your store!
mircea_popescu: is your trust store on etsy ? :D
Framedragger: i don't even
mircea_popescu: where is this trust store even, now i'm curious.
Framedragger: i'm actually pissed, which just means that i was too optimistic about ubuntu. *i was installing a simple image editor*
Framedragger: wait i'm checking. there's a chinese root authority there... maybe package name denoted something else... still, who in their right mind?...
mircea_popescu: ftr it's /usr/share/ca-certificates ; and i got like... 7
Framedragger: `sudo apt-get install pinta` << is what i did. default ubuntu repos, default ubuntu install fwiw.
mircea_popescu: dude just get gedit.
Framedragger: k@burokas:/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla$ find . | wc -l
mircea_popescu: i swear gedit is like the emacs of the art world. once you learn how to use its lisp parts you can never leave.
Framedragger: "i wanted to try something new, and now i have sharks."
mircea_popescu: do yourself a favour learn how to use gimp.scheme ; you will never look at graphics with the same eyes again.
Framedragger: hm! interesting advice
Framedragger: apparently i'm behind on linux graphics software
mircea_popescu: actually i would propose it's a very fine way if not the best way to learn lisp.
Framedragger: normally i'd just fool around with gimp
Framedragger lunch, bbl
mircea_popescu: not only does it mirror how we learned programming as kids (i did circles in a for loop in basic, obtained a nice worm guy!) but it gives an immediacy to lisping absent ANYWHERE else.
mircea_popescu: literally, for the cost of installing gimp you get what ammounts to a visual repl.

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: the 20M or so servers which responded to TCP SYNs sent to port 22. however, out of those, about 5M (or however many) did not respond to ssh handshakes, hence the lower number in the banners and phuctor payloads.
mircea_popescu: ah right right.
Framedragger: i guess one should standardise terms here. the larger number corresponds to "something's running there" servers, found via 1st scan phase. the lower 15M number corresponds to "actually speaks ssh protocol" servers, found via 2nd (ssh-keyscan) scan phase.
Framedragger: i would avoid inducing all of this confusion if i wrote all of this shit up in place - mea culpa. will be done eventually.

mircea_popescu: incidentally, the greatest skill in the world isn't to you know, get named head of michelin south america reporting directly to francois michelin and then turn it around in a coupla years.
mircea_popescu: the greatest skill is to turn down byzantine crap a la gm or ford. "oh great opportunity". heh, for THEM, maybe. they want to suck your juju, to extend their lifespan for a few short extra weeks WITHOUT CHANGING substantially. that's the fucking problem.

jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger there's a lot of interesting stuff at the "western world" - japan interface. japan being, of course, the only non-european industrialised country. but it doesn't stop there - when the whole socialist world went up in flames in the 20s, japan was doing absolutely fine ; even made a bundle speculating the loser's currencies.
mircea_popescu: this has A LOT to do with the mechanisms discussed in http://trilema.com/2013/digging-through-archives-yields-gold/ ; and so unsurprisingly the us marxists came up with all sorts of funny theories as to what "japan was really like" economically.
mircea_popescu: it's a topic worthy of investigation.
mircea_popescu: he was wrong on one point, re the "political suicide". not that the niggers aren't PRETENDING of course, but their pretense aside my credit's evidently better than clinton's.
mircea_popescu: so far it was political suicide - for her ; not for me.
mircea_popescu: on which note i should wish to muchly encourage the ~competent~ youth to not fear "suicide" of this nature. it's a control artefact implanted by the socialist motherhood for their detriment, a sort of imaginary pain box of the bene gesserit. there's no reason to even HAVE a "group of women who don't fuck" as a political entity, let alone ridoinculous imaginary boxes.
mircea_popescu: worry not about "political suicide".
asciilifeform: well '20s jp ~did~ get bulldozed.
asciilifeform: (though it did give usg a good run for its money, first)
mircea_popescu: japan got buldozed chiefly because of the utterly immoral attitude of thinking people at the time.
mircea_popescu: who, incidentally, mostly all figured out what a horrible sin it was to deliver the socialists the bomb.
mircea_popescu: except, in typical "i'm a thinker not a doer" puppy style, figured out after.

mircea_popescu: not really the point, is it.

asciilifeform: 'professional ethics' in usg schmuckdom is a ball of lulz. for instance, when asciilifeform was slaving for usg, he worked in the chemical weapons program. which of course he could not have worked in, because nixon cancelled it, and asciilifeform was never 'security cleared' !!11111 but oh, apparently ~antidotes~ are not weapons! despite the obvious use for the type of antidote that was funded (eat it, release gas, then fight without

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at least they're coherent, "anti-missile shield is not a nuclear weapon". sure it isn't.
mircea_popescu: such nonproliferation indeed.
Framedragger: i agree, and there is the whole utilitarian framework to be considered in specific instances, such as, "make bloodmoney now, to be invested for quantifiably more good later", etc.; still, it's a nuanced thing...
asciilifeform: the hilarious part is that the ~actual~ impetus for the funding was lizards who understood that eventually someone ~will~ find a way to gas'em; and as soon as it became clear that the antidote will not remove all sequelae from gassing, the funding -- evaporated.

mircea_popescu: the problem comes back to the very naive christian notions of the moral value of the void.
phf: trinque: i don't get it
trinque also now digesting mp's statement
trinque: from where I sit one can't ask a question of nothing regarding properties nothing doesn't have.
trinque: were ther a distinction between nil and false, I would expect (and) -> nil (and f) -> f
mircea_popescu: but nil isn't on the possible results list.
mircea_popescu: trinque aha, that lulzy "nature abhors a vacuum" theory hottie is shown demonstrating for yul brenner's "children" comes from right here.
phf: trinque: you're very confused
trinque: muh feelings.
Framedragger: re. asking questions involving properties which do not exist, hah this is something that russell was actually battling with. what is the truth-value of the statement "the present king of france is bold"? some would say it does not have a value (because the term "present king of france" does not have a referent); russell would say "false".
mircea_popescu: it is false.
mircea_popescu: truth-value can not be nil.
Framedragger: so all statements have truth-values, then?
trinque: so then, I just said "is every element in this set true" and got a true on the empty set.
Framedragger: (ruseell's theory of definite descriptions says "yes", other frameworks say "not necessarily")
Framedragger: "bagumpa is blerpy" has truth-value?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger if your semantics allows for it. whether they do or don't is not the same as the truth-value BEING nil however.
mircea_popescu: i know it's commonly taught as equivalent, but saying "x doesn't have an y" is not the same as saying "x's y is nil"
trinque: is this a "the void has all properties" thing ?
Framedragger: note, strawson, frege would say that the king of france *expression* fails to provide a *(logical) proposition*. i.e., it does not have one. imho this is a valid thought, i.e. the matter is not 100% clear.
mircea_popescu: note however that many languages (which aren't english) allow purely constructive usage ; such as adjectival forms constructed from nouns, the noun of a verb and the verb of a noun and so following. depending on semantics bagumpa is blerpy could well have a truth value - if say your definition of is includes an equivalency class for all elements starting with the same letter.
Framedragger would like to carry on with phi of lang but will resume later, need to move self body
mircea_popescu: trinque perhaps the cheapest way to visualise the difference between nil and falsehood is to contrast "ex nihilo nihil" with the value table for false-implication.
trinque: so how do we get across the bridge from "the empty set has no members" to "every member of the empty set had blue hair" being true?
mircea_popescu: all sentences spring from a false ; but nothing springs from the nil.
trinque: I understand the difference, was saying lisp *should* have a separate false.
trinque: nil is used everywhere to mean false, not say "this question can't be answered"
mircea_popescu: well part of the problem is that nil can't be used to mean anything other than nil./
Framedragger: (imho lisp's use of nil as false *is* incorrect, even if you disagree with "every member of the empty set had blue hair" having to be true. it *is* an unholy confusion, falsehood != nil.)
trinque: aha
trinque: SQL gets it right here.
mircea_popescu: as to the blue hair issue : if you can't produce a member which has non-blue hair, the proposition stands ; and if i can prove you can't (which i prove by showing there's no elements in the null set) then the proposition evaluates to true.
trinque: ah!
trinque: proceeding from falsification I can understand.
Framedragger: suddenly karl popper in set theory? :O *suspicious*
Framedragger: but, consistent.
Framedragger: that's all well and good when you can enumerate countable set elements exhaustively / have firm grasp of a term's extension, but what if you don't - any predicate stands true until shown otherwise?
trinque: it feels practically wrong while logical
Framedragger: maybe there could be an empirical-tmsr-set-theory thing :) but for logical analysis, that's weird imo. for one, ontological arguments in regards to god's existence may gain more grounds.
trinque: if one proceeds from there the definition of truth gets pretty squashy
mircea_popescu: Framedragger a proposition ~stands~ until falsified. and is true once it can be showed it can't be false.
mircea_popescu: if i were to endeavour to prove all primenumbers larger than 2 are odd, you'd count yourself satisfied if i showed a number that's prime and larger than 2 can not exist, yes ?
phf: you're not asking for falsehood, when you're asking for nil-ness, so semantic confusion that arises from using same symbol for both concepts is almost always a theoretical problem. and when it's not, like in other situations of semantic ambiguity you can choose to be more precise. luckily people who like to solve theoretical problems of thinking-computing mismatch have moved away from lisp and are doing haskell now
mircea_popescu: the proposition "four is a prime number" doesn't stand, because a factor is known ; the proposition "this and this rsa key is made of two primes" stands, but is not known to be true.
mircea_popescu: lol phf up in arms.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem generally is that "all things" have an ontology and a gnoseology, which is separate and so trivially separable even the greeks were privy to it (hence plato's ideal objects) ; except for the void, which is AT THE SAME TIME the absence of ontology and the plenarity of gnoseology. which is to say, the same "thing" at the same time doesn't exist (ie, as nil) and implies everything (ie, as "false").
mircea_popescu: this duality then makes it a fine candidate for a "prime mover", which bothered the scholastics immensely, because they, much like the scholastics-lite version of smith in the us say, wanted to intercede their own agent in there, so he could do things and therefore their derpitude could matter.
phf: i just found this thing, and this should've been that, and that should've been the other, va a fare in culo! :E
mircea_popescu: fortunately, the people who like to solve theoretical problems of though/action mismatch moved on from logic and are doing "policy" nao.
trinque should bitch about programming moar often; what a ride
mircea_popescu: anyway. for completeness let it be stated that perceived problems of thought-computing mismatch are thoroughly a matter of perception, and in principle can not be fixed (other than fixing the perception). it's the fundamental problem of "ai", as derided often enough here (see the "what if you name the procedures something other than "understanding" etc ; see also chomski's attacks on "ai" centered on the constructed repeating
mircea_popescu: strings)
mircea_popescu: ((and mp was never as unimpressed with chomski as he was when the guy tried to deploy a cantor proof lite without saying so.))
mircea_popescu: the core of it being that computing is not thought.
asciilifeform: one problem that purveyors of sad-schmuck 'maths' chronically suffer from is the expectation that a consistent model has to mesh with naive child's conception of 'N apples' arithmetic.
asciilifeform: see, e.g., the cantor crackpot i linked in last week's l0gz. 'oh noez, infinities!11'

mircea_popescu: but i shall discuss logic with you, if you do not appease us.
Framedragger: uh? how'd *you* define "all" in that case?
trinque appreciated the discussion, learned.
mircea_popescu: i think it's a fabulous testament on the very matters at hand that the ~only guy who has a very introspective, quiet, slow and complete approach to thinking/speaking got derated for emotionals.
mircea_popescu: HAD HIGHER EXPECTATION FROM YOU phf !!!
Framedragger: hey i thought trinque unrating phf was a stupid reactionary thing. don't use this as a red herring.
mircea_popescu: but it's only red inasmuch as it's a herring
Framedragger adjusts tone
Framedragger: anyway, i agree that there is a way to construct an "every" so that given a null set, it spits out true. however, "every" of what? usually there's a predicate, and then the way you'd test "every" with a predicate is that you run that predicate on every element encountered. and you test that it *obtains*, not that it *does not obtain*.
mircea_popescu: "every nonexistent thing"
mircea_popescu: amusingly all null sets are the same set.
Framedragger: ^ true re latter, sure.
asciilifeform: and hey remember when cantor and kronecker derated each other..
Framedragger: but then if you want to entertain the latter "check if any *does not obtain*", you will have a "empty set if holder of *all* properties"
mircea_popescu: you can't test for all properties.
Framedragger: ( and amusingly under classical ontological argument, empty set will be god :D )
mircea_popescu: yes i said that!!1
mircea_popescu: also practical, at that. god can stay god for as long as gets in no one's way.

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: just to clarify so you don't think i'm trying to fuck around, i mean that all predicates would be true under null set. i don't find that to be a good idea. that's all
mircea_popescu: there's an ancient quote about the wine vessel aleph of a party, with 3+ being the breaking of furniture
mircea_popescu: considerations of null set clearly are better than wine.
BingoBoingo: Framedragger: Then don't linger in any null sets?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger you don't so far find it to be an idea altogether, as best it can be determined.
Framedragger: here's a compressed internal model: "mircea_popescu wants truth-conditions of predicates in set theory to abide by a kind of falsification-based criterion."
mircea_popescu: this isn't actually what i said though.
mircea_popescu: i just pointed out the method works ; didn't say it's the only approach.
Framedragger: (and just for the record, i'm interpreting any remarks by anyone here charitably, assuming no snide, and trying to be snide'y myself.)
Framedragger: okay, fair.
asciilifeform: how come nobody barfs from multiplications by 0 yielding same result no matter what is the multiplicand, but predicates being true under the null set -- different matter ??
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this distinction stands at the very root of naive notions of "i'm creative" vs "i'm good with math"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: expand ?
Framedragger: because first of all these are not the same thing. we would first have to introduce, say (as an example), peano arithmetic atop set theory, and go from there. "multiplication" is a diff beast. why not division? etc etc.
mircea_popescu: it's not just that computing isn't thought ; what happens in the brain is also not reason. as far as the logic is concerned things may be whatever they are, but in the objective development of the subject there's an i-ontology and a world-ontology. this disjunction is or is not resolved in time ; but from the subjective development it was never a problem in the first place.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger we need no such thing, "0" means the same in the language of the commutative ring R as "nill" means in the natural language above.
mircea_popescu: it's just whether one is inclined to allocate either both of these domains to i-ontology, or just one of them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform does that answer ?
Framedragger: waitwait, algebra, okay [i'm trying to actually follow]
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: as regards that particular point, you are probably right. but what do you mean by "i-ontology"? the latter becomes wibbly-wobbly
Framedragger: seriously, i'll write an mp-bot with markov model to rebuke any arguments people throw at me. i'll reap ca$h.
mircea_popescu: i mean there's a set of expectations (this is what an ontology, ie, list of items and predicates, always is) for the self ; and ANOTHER one for the world.
mircea_popescu: what some psychologists then turn around and measure as "integration". but in any case, it's trivially evident that ~the world~ may be good or bad, but not the subject. observable at all scales, from the freeranged girlfriend of your choice to the us propaganda discussing aleppo/mosul.
Framedragger: okay. can you give an example? "for the self" is too continental-philosophy ;)
mircea_popescu: yes. derps at dept of state GENUINELY BELIEVE that they "did what they had to" in mosul and the russians are being evil criminals in aleppo.
asciilifeform: nobody afaik tries to play table tennis by tying racket to his cock, but for some odd reason various folx walk around mathematicizing with the same undisciplined organ they hallucinate the self with

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re. "integration", heh have you by any chance read any of jean piaget? iirc he did quite a bit of "logical system development in children, integration" etc. may be a curious read.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you may be surprised by that rocket thing ; iirc i posted a guy attached to a car.
Framedragger off, bbl. plox to be kind
mircea_popescu: in any case - mental models of logic, as with mental models of anything found in nature -, are approximations. the same mechanism that allows a guy to isolate 0* from null.predicate allows one all sorts of psycho-imunological responses that are rather requisite to maintain the subjective notion of the self ~in a format comprehensible to itself~!
mircea_popescu: that's the major restriction, and the deep source of alf's comment above

mircea_popescu: tis not so plain an' simple as all that alfie. notwithstanding that yeah, prolly breeder reactors are going to take over as we run out of space to put the waste ; nevertheless they're more expensive an' complicated and etc. simply larger bar.
mircea_popescu: current used types are yet cheaper ; mostly because uranium turned out to be more plentiful than anyone realised in the 50s, and because the cost of waste storage is not properly accounted.
mircea_popescu: that 2nd lobe will change the economics, but in decades from now.

pete_dushenski: of that same visionary calibre, but these latter two stepped down in the last couple of years (from ford and vw, respectively). i'm not persuaded that the rest of the lot, even say sergio marchionne, are anything more than bankruptcy artists slithering from swindle to swindle.

asciilifeform: yes and there are no 4figure price tags there
asciilifeform: haven't been since i was a boy.
asciilifeform: not at a ~new~ auto lot anyway.
phf: cheapest i found was 18k for some of the kia models
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i'm not altogether certain how it'd work, but basically i'd like it if mimisbrunnr allowed me to buy storage on wotpaste. i could pay from trinque 's deedbot once it's done ; and i should be able to buy by the gb of storage or by the tb of traffic.
mircea_popescu: maybe it could give me credentials on !%cred ?
ben_vulpes: uci by any other name...
mircea_popescu: very limited, storage / web only.
mircea_popescu: gotta start somewhere.
mircea_popescu: basically all you have to get together is a rsync-like and an elastic store/web infrastructure.
ben_vulpes: "rsync-like" has rather a few assumptions baked in
mircea_popescu: enumerate plox.
ben_vulpes: transport, and auth for two.
mircea_popescu: well evidently the tmsr-rsa isn't ready, so i'm guessing ad interim a scheme like this could work
ben_vulpes: i may be thick, by 'rsync-like' implies to me some amount of shell access for l*
pete_dushenski: phf: asciilifeform my research says that the nissan micra less than cad$10k, which is about $usd7.5, but sadly for you both, our good friend carlos ghosn saw fit not to sell it to you lot. sfyl ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: and in india, 4k, even more 'sfyl' etc
mircea_popescu: 1. user says !%cred ; 2. mimisbrunnr replies with link to rsa-encrypted user/pass/url combination for, eg, a ftp session ; 3. if i share the url, i share the url, with whoever i want ; 4. you meter and bill ; 5. !%destroy kills it
asciilifeform: as i said -- usa bans cheap auto. because usury.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seems like you want 'g' after all
mircea_popescu: which one was g ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: there's also this idea, prevalent and very much the norm in car industry, of 'dealer may sell for less'.
asciilifeform: (i described exactly this scheme , in march iirc )
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ideally 4 works like, billed on 5 or else when X qty of btc is due, say 0.1 or w/e.

mircea_popescu: and evidently you'd have to have a !%prices
mircea_popescu checks if !% is someone already lol
mod6: yeah
mircea_popescu: so it is. heh. !W

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: go and try and sell 8k auto when ~mandatory~ airbag is ~3k
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha, like that.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes don;t you hold shift with the right ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: lobbesbot

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: don't you hold shift with the left?!
a111: Logged on 2016-09-14 18:57 lobbes: Aight. I'll set lobbesbot to !Q
pete_dushenski: lol i just mistyped !Q as iQ is all.
mircea_popescu: nope. when typing commands i use the right for the right shift, the fuck finger for ! and the index for whatever else.
mircea_popescu: therefore bot commands will be known as fucksticks.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: AHA, these things pete_dushenski is raving about are stricly Canadian thing.
pete_dushenski also uses right shift for commands
ben_vulpes: and you two are strictly talking about irc interfaces?
mircea_popescu: actually on meditation i almost never use left shift. cuz my left thumb is on ctrl/macro
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'g' was result of my frustration with trb's plaintext tcp
ben_vulpes has a whole wad of key chords, irc a vanishingly small fraction
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes well no, i get a ftp and a wwb for the trouble.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you wanna give him the code or what ?
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: it's mostly that we just get shittier models here, eg. micra. but obv. with weaker currency we pay more for same model. this is thankfully compensated by being richer in btc/localfiat terms.
mircea_popescu: www* not wwb
ben_vulpes: control, escape, meta these are all swappable between hands on my setup
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it needs tmsr-rsa (i ain't releasing anything with aes or koch's idiocy)
mircea_popescu: eh it'll be fine.
asciilifeform: and tmsr-rsa needs rng.
mircea_popescu: when that happens, we can upgrade.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Anyways the solution to the "wheels for alf" problem is he needs three 1990's Lexus IS 300's from which to construct a one superior example.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it so happens that i have a working auto
mircea_popescu: i bet he drives like, a honda.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> eh bull. you've got $8000 hyundai and mitsu shitboxen. << Maybe in Double Norte Americano, but in Single Norte Americano those left in the 1990's << is mexico null norte americano in bb's paradigm ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Then why seeking 8k new auto
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: almost
mircea_popescu: husqvarna ?
asciilifeform: it's an ancient 'acura'
BingoBoingo: Kubota?
pete_dushenski: ties in nicely to earlier mega-thread!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes do you get the idea ?
asciilifeform: but i'd sure like to not have to pay 5figs for its replacement when it finally crumbles.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Mexico is Median Americano
ben_vulpes: of the rsync-alike? somewhat. the fucksticks, i do not see.
mircea_popescu: gotta be moar patriotic, alf. buy gm, help the great again along.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Just get two more identical cars for parts!!!
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: anyways, don't get hung up on initial capital outlay, even if you're thinking of financing. tco (total cost of ownership) is the name of the game. ask ben_vulpes.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes eh, the command codes are inconsequential. i mean the rsync.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i barely have where to keep 1
trinque actually in the market for new vehicle as of yesterday.
ben_vulpes: trinque: finally ded, eh?
mircea_popescu: try and eat dropbox market why not :)
ben_vulpes: what was the last straw?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Then assemble the best of the parts into best possible car sooner?
trinque: vw wagon finally gave up the timing chain ghost, also exhaust blew into coolant system
trinque: it was just old as shit and drove in too many different climates
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i haven't anywhere where to assemble
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 0 pavement that isn't a city street.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: interesting idea, i'll chew on it
BingoBoingo: How much is one of those garage sized "self storage" things go for around your parts?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: $maxint
pete_dushenski: trinque: what has two thumbs and loves the car shopping for other people game ? this guy!
ben_vulpes: trinque: get a lotus elise
trinque seriously contemplating used 4runner with low mileage
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: when mine rusts away, i might not even replace it, 20k usd buys a great many cab rides. probably more than i'd need in the 5yrs that a 20k-usd machine costs now.
trinque: driving up mountains / on beaches > *
BingoBoingo: trinque: Just break down and get 5 Saturn L-series
ben_vulpes: pickup + elise
ben_vulpes: itt: excellent advice
trinque: lol
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: if only you lived back in great ru motherland, you could have perfect post-apocalyptic people's 4x4 : http://www.lada.ru/en/cars/4x4/3dv/tth.html
mircea_popescu: maybe in buenos aires. in wash dc 20k buys like 150 cab rides
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ~200
asciilifeform: depending on to where
asciilifeform: and that's about how many times i leave the house in 2-3 yrs.
mircea_popescu: 2-3 not 5 yo.
asciilifeform: yes. but it approaches !
mircea_popescu: meanwhile here, cab from city end to city end is like 20 bux
asciilifeform: and perhaps i could leave house -- less yet.
mircea_popescu: AND these people drive like monkeys on jenkem
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: "amazon prime nao!"
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aha, such as.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Here is your next vehicle, took ~4 minutes to find https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/5905446961.html
ben_vulpes: for some, there are few joys like burning petrol with friends.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i never understood the point in buying these
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: see the earlier 'total cost' point
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: low maintenance costs
trinque: if I were in an area with trains I'd go without a car for a while. wouldn't be the first time.
asciilifeform: low if you have a garage.
trinque: PDX is perhaps one of the best places for this.
BingoBoingo: Low insurance costs
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: high 'randomly stuck places' cost.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: have you tried installing eulora on a mac ?
ben_vulpes: trinque: recent 'snowpaclypse' affected me /not one whit/, as i could stroll to the train and be in city center more-or-less on domenad
asciilifeform: littoral combat car.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: once a very long time ago
ben_vulpes: phf is your man for that
pete_dushenski: mhm. k. i'll bug him.
ben_vulpes: i don't think it's quite as simple as 'brew install eulora', although it was close
trinque: ben_vulpes: this among the things I miss.
ben_vulpes: trinque: 'tis a wonder of socialist engineering
BingoBoingo: Only $500 more
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo compulsively collects 'lemons' or wat.
ben_vulpes: neighbor of mine was whingeing about the cost of the light rail, "o noes it'll never pay for itself" "my man, it got me to move to this neighbhorhood. give it a decade and you'll make the difference up personally with home value increase."
BingoBoingo: Car is not lemon just because it turns 13 years old. In Cuba car is still young at that age!
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: but car ~is~ lemon if 13yo ford. esp explorer
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: a 2000s auto is a lemon after 5-7 yrs.
ben_vulpes looks at 04 pilot about to crack 200k outside
asciilifeform: eh ben_vulpes is not a civilian, he gentoos his autos
ben_vulpes: possibly 'lemon' if you can't get in a car and hear mid diff wobble, possibly lemon if you don't do the sale at a dealership and pay 100 for the safety inspection before purchasing, possibly lemon if all sorts of 'civilian'
ben_vulpes: alternative is 'new tax'.
ben_vulpes: > 202k mails
ben_vulpes: fuck, buddy
ben_vulpes: that's a good lookin truck
BingoBoingo: If $2500 dollar car lasts 5 years averages to $500 per car/year. Would take much unexpected bullshit to make expensive.
ben_vulpes: "you know, babe, instead of a single car that cost 35K, we could have.../35k of cars/"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'd actually rather have a trabant, if they could be had, at least they were cheap, than these monstrosities that drink petrol like airplane and die without warning in traffic
BingoBoingo: Put on a camper shell and you have a FUCKGOATS transporter
BingoBoingo: What die without warning? Plenty of warnings!
pete_dushenski: http://bringatrailer.com/auctions/ << plenty of solid, well-cared-for metal for under 10k here alf. as the lots cover the continent, you can even make a road trip (blog story!) out of the adventure. also gives you a chance to play autions without playing eulora.
shinohai: Oh gawd ben_vulpes ... the trunk on those things can sleep 6!
ben_vulpes: shinohai: all the more room for cleats and helmets

shinohai agrees
asciilifeform: ' I recently bought a fountain pen. it cost the equivalent of about 1500 throw-away ball pens. 1500 ball pens would have made me very frustrated, but this sleek, elegant pen made me happy.'
ben_vulpes: back on cadillac tindr
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it is not enough to buy a lemon, i should also travel to some shithole to do it?!
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: dude, walking out your front door is 'travelling to some shithole'. and no one will bring new car to you! so might as well live a little. remember how fun chicago was ? or ba ?
asciilifeform: problem is that i dun actually ~like~ 'car ricing'. auto is best when it is forgotten about every day except when there is no way to escape driving somewhere, best when it 'stfus', like one's appendix.
ben_vulpes has several hondas, they are precisely this.
trinque wonders if after USocalypse, he too will think everything is terrible.
pete_dushenski: http://archive.is/QDzJl << ben_vulpes will like. a fleetwood piece penned by my older pal / newer sparring partner jack baruth

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: btw the kazakh d00d on junkbay actually has mig engine nao
asciilifeform: iirc you needed one
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: well, tbf, you put all your rust ~in your house~ with all those old pdps and alphas. at least we put ours in garages.
asciilifeform has never ftr owned a pdp
asciilifeform: but yes, unlike you rich folx, all of my rusty anchors have to fit in small space.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: capital equipment is not for 'fun'
ben_vulpes: mig engines are for 'fun'
BingoBoingo: What about STFU buy used screams rich folk? If 2005-later cars suck the solution is buy older!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: classic 'gentooist' mistake in thinking: to forget to factor in the costs, not insignificant, of garage space, of time spent dealing with the finicky rusty bucket
asciilifeform: of being stuck in roads, parking lots
asciilifeform: of hunting for parts
asciilifeform: you're still paying ~= what new auto costs, just more slowly, painfully
asciilifeform: unless you are already 'grease man' and so it seems 'free'...
ben_vulpes: "this dress took me thirty minutes and ten years to make"
ben_vulpes: theorems to prove, belts to change...
ben_vulpes: fwiw, i find car-swearing-time doubles as excellent design/thinking time.
asciilifeform: i know a d00d who reassembles '50s 'golden age of usa' autos. has machine shop, and even multiple houses , which he rents out except for garage, in each - keeps 1-3 of these museum pieces
pete_dushenski: "Uber relies on location services to ensure safe and accurate rides. In this latest version of the app, you’ll now be asked to allow location information collection from the time you request a ride through up to five minutes after it ends. This helps identify better pickup and dropoff points and helps customer service if you ever need to contact us about a trip. You’ll always be in control over what
pete_dushenski: location information is shared and can adjust this at any time in your device settings." << from latest version update. one wonders, why only 5 minutes ? why not perma-on ? perhaps "coming soon" (™). also, this is alf's alterna-car! THIS!!!1
asciilifeform: at one point i wanted to rent one of his houses, but learned that every single garage is in use !
asciilifeform: so 0 plus over my current one...
ben_vulpes: with the new monstrosity abutting the property line next door, i think i've finally bumped carport up on the list of shit to build
ben_vulpes: omg may i relate how bad a job next door is doing
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i used 'uber' a number of times, it is a very mixed bag
ben_vulpes: so the vinyl, stamped-with-wood-grain siding showed up and was applied to the house
ben_vulpes: and maybe 2 boards out of the whole 150' house length per row are matched at the ends
ben_vulpes: which is particularly amusing, as this stamped material is designed to line up perfectly for the whole run
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i've generally had very positive experiences with it. 95% excellent drivers. 75% decent cars. proper taxi flips those two figures but also costs 20% more and wait times are unreliable.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: sounds gnasty.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> you're still paying ~= what new auto costs, just more slowly, painfully << Nah at some point you just break up with car and get new $2500 car for another few years.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it's the picking-up part that works half the time.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Problem is after stamped plastic leaves factory
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: when booting anode in 'solipsistic test network' mode with gen=1 and genproclimit=some reasonable fraction of local cores, i should see a few cores go to 100% utilization immediately, no?
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: noshit.png
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: problem is anyhing that introduces 'will it start tomorrow??' into my workflow.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: theoretically
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In that case you want a 90s honda civic or 90s lexus 300
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: 'getinfo' is telling me '0 hashes per sec', which is troubling
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that converts it to 'yes it started, but will it stop before i finish going to $place'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you have empty blockchain ? (genesis only ) ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Max cost of brake work on such a vehicle tops out at ~900 to ~1200 to replace entire "make car stop" system.
BingoBoingo: Some expenses actually have a maximum
asciilifeform: replace with ~what~ ?
asciilifeform: where do i buy a NEW 80s merc motor.
pete_dushenski: as someone who just oversaw ownership of early 2000s lexus is300 that put on 40k km in a year, i'm not sure i'd recommend it unless you're pretty handy. not hard to work on, but parts aren't super cheap, it's a bit dicey in the winter, it's a ~very~ firm ride, and it's soooo hard on consumables (gas and oil).
BingoBoingo: new pads, calipers, rotors, drums, cylinders...
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: genesis only
BingoBoingo: Oh, I thought you meant "will car stop when I press pedal" misread
BingoBoingo: And we are not talking 80s merc motors unless pete_dushenski, we are talking 90s honda motors of which there are LEGION!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: no, i meant 100% deterministic operation, starts when i turn key, stops -- when i unturn it, and never else.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: new ones?!
BingoBoingo: In which case 90s honda is solid choice
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Rebuilt and remanufactered ones
asciilifeform: not same.
BingoBoingo: It's Honda, quintessential "idiot proof" car
asciilifeform: 'dun worry, when your lemon dies, you can assemble a new one with parts from other lemons'
BingoBoingo: Brand new anything gets problems too
BingoBoingo: But more expensive ones because loan keeps "throw it away and replace" from being option
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: describe plox your experimental setup (node)
asciilifeform: iirc you need '-gen' not '-gen=1'
ben_vulpes: in bitcoin.conf?
ben_vulpes: can be stuffed in cli

ben_vulpes: getgenerate returns true, but fGenerateBitcoins is 0 at boot
asciilifeform: it is always 0 at boot
asciilifeform: there's 1 more thing
asciilifeform: how the fuck do you intend to generate a block without any tx
asciilifeform: iirc you need at least 1 on trb
asciilifeform: in mempool
ben_vulpes: first hundred and seventy went fine
asciilifeform: 170 of what
ben_vulpes: blocks.
ben_vulpes: first hundred and seventy only paid out to satoshi iirc.
asciilifeform: and then stopped ?
ben_vulpes: no then he sent some somewhere?
asciilifeform: satoshi was not mining on trb eh
ben_vulpes: true nuff
ben_vulpes bbl, child has self-aborted nap
asciilifeform: i have nfi presently what 0.1 or whatnot did re mining.
ben_vulpes will read miner source for the site of this brilliance
ben_vulpes: miner should work just fine without a tx in mempool wtf
asciilifeform: it also dun work unless you have 1+ peer, apparently
asciilifeform: (dun ask me why)
asciilifeform: this part of trb is completely virginal 0.5.3 btw
asciilifeform: btw phf do you think we could get a src viewer in your vtron that makes this kind of thing apparent to naked eye?
asciilifeform: like jurov's lxr, but vtronic.
asciilifeform: (shows from where in the vflow is each line)
ben_vulpes: neat idea
asciilifeform: see, in my head, i can see who last touched what, but this continue forever, is not a substitute for actual tool
asciilifeform: *cannot continue
ben_vulpes bbl for real this time
asciilifeform: btw i was mistaken, you don't need nonempty mempool
asciilifeform: but you ~do~ for some perverse reason need a peer.
asciilifeform: at least until we clean this piece up.

asciilifeform: '...if Trump’s already calling for the cancellation of the Air Force One program, he could just as easily target the F-35 — and that’s a potential disaster for Northern Utah.' << ohnoez, 1,000,001 leeches might starve!
mircea_popescu: f35 getting scrapped seems quite likely as it stands now.
trinque: either before or after shot down.
asciilifeform: no seeee it's the world's only bulletproof airplane
asciilifeform: (...won't get anywhere near battle)
mircea_popescu: sounds like the perfect item to supply the us carriers
mircea_popescu: which idem, won't go anywhere near a warzone later than 1990s
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-16#1584282 << I'm seeing that this "lowered into pederasty" thing is as endemic to the russian sphere as elliotism is to the states.

trinque: phf, where I got offboard with you was http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-16#1584235
a111: Logged on 2016-12-16 17:49 phf: oh, shit, we've got a reddit consensus over here
trinque: I think I've long demonstrated that I don't cling to a disproved belief.
mircea_popescu: i didn;'t think that was about you.
asciilifeform: i reread the log twice and still at a loss re wtf that was about
mircea_popescu: gents gotta remember though, teh r word's a fightin' word.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i thought he was ribbing Framedragger because how dares he agree or something.
trinque: it's on the record. I don't need to make more hay of it.
phf: and yet you do
mircea_popescu: lol this sounds like the beginning of a beautiful.
trinque: I was going to leave it there. Did you have more nubbins 4th wall breaking in you yet?
trinque: the appeal to the crowd there, and yet I'm the collectivist.
asciilifeform: ...we have a crowd??
phf: trinque: you lost your shit, cause i ruffled your feathers a bit, ~uncharacteristically~ you were ranting, in the popular style of the channel, but without any of the substance. you unrated me literally for busting your balls, the only reason is we're still on speaking terms is because you helped me out with the gpg key issue
phf: this is the last thing i'm going to say on the matter, if anybody ~else~ has personal issues with me over what transpired i will address those only
mircea_popescu: honestly i kinda enjoyed the day.
mircea_popescu: of all the times in my life i had to explain to a sober judge in the morning wtf the fight was about, this'd have easily been my preferred choice
trinque had a fine day; would've been better with drinks.
mircea_popescu: "there was some disagreement over the true nature of nul lsets, and things went from there". way the fuck better than anything life served me up with.
mircea_popescu: trinque i thought your car was on the fritz
trinque: such is the burden of a volkswagen owner.

trinque: if it ran at all I'd offroad the thing until it blew up.
shinohai: I imagine trinque more the baja buggy type?
trinque: upside of texas beaches being shitty is nobody cares if you get drunk and do donuts on them.
trinque: would've been pretty entertaining to be the only station wagon among the trucks
