mircea_popescu: if a 50k expenditure isn't "polarizing" and doesn't result in EVERYONE beelining to give at the office, they really dunno what to do, have no plans, nothing. [12:18]

mircea_popescu: ... [14:00]
pikachu: anyone else not worried because of uasf? [14:01]
mircea_popescu: asking questions about yourself is best directed at someone who a) actually can distinguish you from adam and b) actually gives a shit about your issues. [14:01]
mircea_popescu: go sleep. [14:01]
mircea_popescu: in subsidiary, the united states air force isn't actually capable of hindering a herd of goats. totally need better stuff to lose sleep over. [14:02]
pikachu: i got my life savings on bitcoin [14:03]
mircea_popescu: why ? [14:03]
pikachu: i thought it was a good idea, now im worried [14:04]

pikachu: im trying to learn asking different people about the situation and i become more confused daily [14:06]
pikachu: uasf camp say, you must support uasf, or jihan wu fork will win [14:07]
pikachu: jihan wu camp say, you must support jihan wu camp, or they will ruin bitcoin [14:08]
trinque: the folly of sticking your "life savings" in something you don't understand, I suppose, eludes you [14:09]
pikachu: i understand the technology [14:10]
BingoBoingo: Neither of those camps matter. Go to sleep and wake up somewhere other than dashjr and wu's joint niggeropolis [14:10]
pikachu: not so much the outcome of the current situation [14:10]
pikachu: bingo boingo, you believe in middleground consensus can happen? [14:11]
mircea_popescu: no dude. there's no "believe" and none of the redditards you keep reading matter in any sense / to any degree. [14:11]
mircea_popescu: we see a set every 6 to 9 months, they say the same things, then disappear without a trace. [14:12]
mircea_popescu: random idiots with "their life savings" "invested" "because they understand the technology" (ie, you, ie, people with no life savings and no understanding) read their crap, get all excited, also disappear every 6 to 9 months. [14:12]
pikachu: yes i went throught xt, classic, bu, now this [14:12]
mircea_popescu: in the 7 years of bitcoin we've seen OVER A DOZEN generations of you flies. [14:12]
mircea_popescu: seriously, just go sleep. you're not part of bitcoin, nothing you do or thing makes any difference. [14:13]
BingoBoingo: i.e. The problem is not that http://trilema.com/2013/fried-chicken/ but that they imagine themselves to be a polis [14:13]

BingoBoingo: Well, so you know that sharpie in the pooper is an easy gamble to take [14:15]
pikachu: never been worried, until now [14:15]
pikachu: because jihan has checkmated pow in my opinion [14:15]
BingoBoingo: Has anything else about your health changed? [14:15]
* trinque relieved that pikachu came to share her feelings with us [14:15]
pikachu: sorry im a guy no girls on the internet [14:16]
mircea_popescu: no, see, you keep doing this stupid thing where you imagine that if you say something, effects follow. this is how redditards work, not how reality works. [14:16]
BingoBoingo: Have you recently noticed changes in your appetite? Been losing weight recently? Anxiety up in other areas of life? [14:16]
pikachu: yes im developing an ulcer thanks to jihan/uasf [14:16]
BingoBoingo: Are you sure it's not a tumour? [14:16]
mircea_popescu: !!down pikachu [14:17]
mircea_popescu: other than the whole "nude statements from $nobody produce effects", there's also the "i'll just ignore anything that doesn't fit" [14:17]
mircea_popescu: pretty much complete redditard model. [14:17]
* ben_vulpes frowns [14:37]
ben_vulpes: not much interesting in that thar log [14:37]
trinque: could rule earth, and how many generations of "my betters owe me that one secret they don't want you to know" to beat out [14:39]
mircea_popescu: the funny part being they actually believe their inane shit. "oh, if i type $string then it'll be parsed by all-comers as such! oh and i don't have to parse any strings myself!" [14:40]
mircea_popescu: how the fuck would someone actually believe this nonsense, self-contradictory on its face as it finds itself, is beyond the scope of comprehension. [14:41]
mircea_popescu: i suppose a lifetime of save scumming creates strange mental habits in the pikachus. [14:42]

mircea_popescu: heck, 99% oif what's left of us intelligence consists of trying to calculate word-value over the whole interwebs. that's it. [15:15]

mircea_popescu: which also takes the problem home : bayesian faux intelligence is not, per se, a scam. the whole thing is simply the application of tractors to what the dorks already did anyway in their internal forum. [15:18]
mircea_popescu: you can't claim google-style "ai" is a scam when it simply does EXACTLY what average-voter does to decide who to vote for, average-idiot to pick his friends, average-office-drone to pick employees etc. [15:19]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had an article re this very thing [15:19]
mircea_popescu: or a few. [15:20]
mircea_popescu: but yes, this will be the enduring legacy of the ustardian "culture", such as it is : a really large attempt to calculate the sum-value of strings of words. because "the alternative is hard" and besides "this kinda works". [15:21]
mircea_popescu: of course, it only works in naive circumstances, as this shit always does. once mp/someome starts deliberately fucking with your words the whole shit goes nowhere. but obvioujsly "nobody could have predicted" etc. [15:21]

BingoBoingo: FUCK YOU, STOP WEIGHING A WHOLE 'NOTHER VEHICLE!!! [18:47]
BingoBoingo: Vehicle should ride hamplanet until human sized! [18:53]
mircea_popescu: for srs. [18:53]
BingoBoingo: Not knowing that fucking exhaust system means needing to fuck carb to match can be forgiven, that is much math. Not knowing why vehicle designed to carry passenger ~25-33% of it's own mass objects to passenger ~70-200% is unforgivable hamplanetry [18:58]
mircea_popescu: the fatsos are really offensive by now with their "oh, i have a right to exist" bullshit. [18:59]
BingoBoingo: And all this bullshit is polluting my searches for "Can [vehicle] suspension handle ramp jumping" [19:00]
mircea_popescu: need obesity euthanasia law. [19:00]
BingoBoingo: No instead as soon as you invoke "suspension" in a string google/Bing/CuckCuckGo all return fatso pandering [19:00]
BingoBoingo: Need ~25lb portable Lipodiesel refinery [19:01]
asciilifeform: this is a little bit like complaining re ants, when kitchen has not been cleaned since reagan [19:01]
asciilifeform: multiply buffett by 0 --> no obesity. [19:02]
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the piece of shit un is all going into overdrive with trying to get states to implement the usg-tronic "we'll just steal shit because it belongs to criminals hurr durr". [19:02]
mircea_popescu: fuyck that shit. there's no need for a "united nations office of organized crime". [19:03]
mircea_popescu: what's needed is an office for killing fat people. [19:03]
asciilifeform: what's even left for them to steal ? [19:03]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the heuristic is, "hey, this shit not owned by aparatchik ? give it to aparatchik then!" [19:03]

asciilifeform: 'chromium', 'wine', 'gimp', 'wireshark', other commonplace items. [20:36]
asciilifeform: these will need specially made cures. [20:36]
asciilifeform: if you want to use'em. [20:37]
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: could one pull down an older portage archive and run from that forever? although forsaking updates? [20:38]
mircea_popescu: never seems to work out in practice. [20:39]
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you've had this tried? [20:41]
ben_vulpes: would be neat to hear a field report [20:41]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: afaik there has never existed a full portage archive. some crud or other is always 'elsewhere'. [20:42]
mircea_popescu: i thought this is what we're all trying. only to discover that whatever, xorg now no longer builds without gcc5 etc. [20:42]
ben_vulpes: oh christ xorg needs gcc5 now? [20:42]
mircea_popescu: whole fucking log is a slow, grindsing field report of "united nations has an office for combatting independence, not obesity". [20:42]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: and likewise no one ( or at the very least, nkt asciilifeform ) knows of a moment in time when it was wholly healthy, with 0 wormy bits [20:43]
asciilifeform: *not [20:43]
mircea_popescu: never was the case. [20:43]
asciilifeform: even original unixen were wormy. ( heterogeneous undesigned slimemold dogvomit ) [20:44]

asciilifeform: 0 'acceleration' [20:47]
asciilifeform: and noshit it won't 'emerge video', a stock gentoo won't suck in closed crapolade [20:48]
asciilifeform: ( unlike 'africa' ) [20:49]
mircea_popescu: pretty sure the bitching is in teh log at the time or something. [20:49]
asciilifeform: probably [20:49]
asciilifeform: btw ben_vulpes et al : might be worthwhile to find the last uninfected ver. of xorg. [20:52]
asciilifeform: and preserve. [20:53]
trinque: this appears to lead to infinite regress [20:53]
asciilifeform: trinque: howsthat [20:53]
mircea_popescu: i briefly tried to do that on s.mg. it... didn't work out. [20:53]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: say moar? [20:53]
trinque: asciilifeform: same reason you barfed writing a lisp for x86 [20:53]
trinque: the thing's recursively hairy [20:53]
trinque: something else will pop out next [20:54]
mircea_popescu: what's to say. the volume of shit you gotta preserve rapidly expands > the gb. the work your techs are required to do in order to accomplish this scales ~liniarily with the shithub "work" of the maggots. [20:54]
asciilifeform: trinque: a finite # of these releases, existed... theoretically could try'em all [20:54]
mircea_popescu: not a sane use of our limited resources. [20:54]
asciilifeform: ( gentoo per se automates a good chunk of the work. iterate over xorgs until one builds with gcc4... ) [20:55]
mircea_popescu: in theory there's no difference between theory and practice. [20:55]
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666252 << as was mentioned in logs before, portage doesn't contain sources. it downloads sources from elsewhere [20:56]

asciilifeform: and point out -- afaik there was never a 'whole world' mirror. [20:57]
asciilifeform: ( one of the appeals of bsd is that something like it -- existed ) [20:58]
phf: i don't think bsd mirrors it either, it's not mandatory by design anyway [20:59]
phf: afaiu the only distros that preserve the whole thing are debian and redhat [21:00]
asciilifeform: rathead preserved sources?! [21:01]
phf: yeah, i think they package them into srpms, but i'm not sure if they are mandatory step in the distribution process [21:03]
asciilifeform: i'ma hazard a guess, that you will barf long before ever succeeding in actually tracking down 100% of the src that adds up to a given rathead install. [21:04]
phf: yeah, cursory interneting reveals as much [21:05]

gabriel_laddel_p: If you google for "funtoo distfiles mirror" and review all google results, should provide a decent start. [21:05]
ben_vulpes: so xorg-drivers 1.18-r1 pulls in xorg-server-1.19.3, which pulls in xorg-drivers-1.19.3 which conflicts with the requested version [21:05]
mircea_popescu: as i was saying, been there, done that, got no tshirt. [21:05]
mircea_popescu: there's no problem with the provision of "decent starts". [21:06]
asciilifeform: 'The use of Git and SSL/TLS sets a very high barrier for in-flight tampering. This is not the point of discussion.' lel [21:06]
mircea_popescu: that's what this whole tower of idiot boy excrement consists of. [21:06]
* ben_vulpes rubs face [21:06]
mircea_popescu: the idea is to have acceptable ends. [21:06]
ben_vulpes: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/Ahc2R/?raw=true << this still pulls gcc 5 in, yes? [21:07]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it doesn't cure gcc5ism, no [21:08]
asciilifeform: now you might try same recipe, cum a gcc5 ban [21:08]
asciilifeform: see if it ends up pulling last-sane vers of various. [21:09]
asciilifeform: before you say 'nowai' -- i was equally surprised that the poettering ban worked as well as it did [21:09]
asciilifeform: (i.e. resulted in a very usable box, that i still use every day) [21:10]
asciilifeform: the important bit is that it has to be done on a ~virginal~ gentoo [21:10]
asciilifeform: that hasn't been shat in yet [21:10]
ben_vulpes: hm [21:12]
trinque: if you put chromium on it, you're done [21:12]
ben_vulpes: trinque: kinda what i'm looking at [21:13]
asciilifeform: btw there is a dbus-remover patch for chromium, somewhere [21:13]
asciilifeform: i have not tested it. [21:13]
trinque: then somebody will get in via your unicode parser [21:14]
trinque: or sound driver via malicious porn soundtrack [21:14]
trinque: or... [21:14]
trinque: point being how does one not say to himself, "if connected to net, what you've got there is an NSA terminal, and that's it" [21:15]
asciilifeform: trinque: in the multiGB tub of liquishit, there are million years' worth of 'surprise' [21:15]
asciilifeform: it must die. [21:15]
asciilifeform: all of it. [21:15]
trinque: obviously what I said. [21:15]
trinque: considering the million years worth of surprise, I'm inclined to believe that standardization on gentoo or whatever else is insane. [21:16]
trinque: attacker will know exactly what surprises to apply to all. [21:17]
asciilifeform: trinque: to the extent gentoo was interesting, it was because it enabled ~nonstandardization~. [21:17]
asciilifeform: i.e. ~0 required programs. [21:18]
asciilifeform: ( one weak point -- it did demand python ) [21:18]
trinque: could have, but nobody beat anyone when ebuilds decided to pull down deps out of band into /var/tmp or wherever [21:18]
asciilifeform: i speak of gentoo in past tense. but it remains that every box i will ever, likely, live to use , will still be made from bricks of the ruins of gentoo, and not from anything else. [21:19]
mod6: werd [21:20]
trinque: asciilifeform: no disagreement there either here I sit on my own heirloom pistolchair [21:20]
asciilifeform: because there isn't actually an alternative. [21:21]
asciilifeform: not if you actually ~work~ with the comp. [21:21]
asciilifeform: ( vs 'glorified ipad' ) [21:21]
mircea_popescu: trinque kinda my thinking. gentoo === ubuntu, and for that matter === windows. not really better, just "different". [21:23]
trinque: I think phf is right in pointing to old debian cd sets as dep time capsules. [21:23]
mircea_popescu: i don't. there's nothing to capsule. have some lulz-debian with their epic rngs capsuled ? noty. [21:24]
trinque: true also. [21:24]

trinque: one advantage of being one of the least educated guys here. "my life is wasted" happened ~decade ago. [21:29]
asciilifeform: trinque: there was a thread, at one point, with philosophical puzzle -- if chained to wheelbarrow at butugychag, would you rather have one with spikes on handles, or not. or something to this effect. [21:30]
asciilifeform: trinque: what'd it even mean for life 'not wasted' ? i gotta ask [21:32]
