jurov: iirc in murica the lines have like 1-2kV and everyone has own transformer? [04:02]
Framedragger: new chrome version supports "headless" mode for very easy and accurate archiving. i'm curious, would the forum tolerate the use of chrome in an archiving tool (if properly packaged and (to the extent it's possible - yes, limited, barf) sanboxed)? [07:39]
Framedragger: also not sure how easy it'd be to do the "have JS run, then save the resulting no-JS snapshot" thing (for having properly rendered copies without JS in them.) [07:39]
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-05-may-2017#2277543 << can make your own tools for as long as you can live with them. the output is sane ? [08:45]

trinque: Framedragger: iirc archive.is uses headless webkit [10:40]
trinque: why did you skip over wget -R ? [10:40]
mod6: mornin' [10:45]
mircea_popescu: no js ? [11:11]
BingoBoingo: In other idiotgeneering, Neighbors on the other side of the Mississippi are bitching and moaning about "OMG, towns [a,b,c] have had second 500 year flood in 18 months!!!" meanwhile only marginalized commentators are raising the issue of "Why did we let the Chesterfield valley get levees and suburbs?" Apparently people raising the issue that building levees for new construction turns meandring floods into energetic and giant log flume rid [11:12]
BingoBoingo: es are the ones who don't know how the world works... [11:12]
trinque: mircea_popescu: wget -R will suck down every URL it finds, js included [11:14]
mircea_popescu: hey, us public discourse is == marketing talk, and there's no marketing benefit in pointing out "real estate" is neither real nor valuavble. [11:14]
trinque: * wget -r [11:14]
mircea_popescu: trinque yes but not process and render it, is the thinking [11:14]
trinque: ah if one wants some kind of preview before loading the archived site, yes, can't get that [11:14]
mircea_popescu: i thought one only wants the previews. [11:15]
mircea_popescu: why would anyone save the ajax pile of bullshit. "modern" web dev has no place in the present let alone to be preserved for the future. [11:17]
trinque: certainly not. [11:18]
trinque: so archive.is waits for the DOM to render, then what, serializes that back to HTML? [11:18]
mircea_popescu: it appears so [11:18]
trinque: got it was trying to understand why have a browser involved in the archiving [11:18]
trinque: I don't run JS in either case [11:18]
mircea_popescu: to get rid of usg idiot party [11:19]
mircea_popescu: heck, if everyone forgot how to "web 2.0" tomorrow, this'd be a greater gain for human culture than the discovery of fucking penicillin. [11:19]
trinque: sure. Framedragger meanwhile with a headless chrome will have all the attack surface anybody ever wanted [11:20]
trinque: will want to consider that as he puts things where [11:20]

BingoBoingo: Oh my, Pam's going to find some dick with initiative! [11:57]
trinque: Framedragger: https://github.com/o2platform/chrome-repl << ever see this? might be a way to snag teh html tag's outerHTML [13:12]
trinque: ah you know what, that wasn't even the thing [13:26]
* trinque trying to recall whatever he used to jack chrome into emacs [13:27]
trinque: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/ << was some elisp that ate from this [13:29]
asciilifeform: achtung, panzers! anyone who noticed that his trb wire to dulap dropped last night -- the thing was rebooted (without my permission) ~13 hours ago. [13:33]
shinohai: wb asciilifeform [13:40]
asciilifeform: ty shinohai [13:40]
ben_vulpes: oh interesting, asciilifeform [13:43]
ben_vulpes: that wouldn't lead to a node pegging 100% cpu, would it? [13:43]
BingoBoingo: In other news, Canada is trying to start a Dairy trade war with US\ [13:44]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: not afaik [13:45]
ben_vulpes: didn't think so. [13:46]
ben_vulpes: A MYSTERY [13:46]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-05#1652115 << trinque -- not only does this mean that you (reader) are stuck with executing js - but also that it can DYNAMICALLY load turdolade from the original www (which may or may not still be there, or be the same as before) [13:53]
a111: Logged on 2017-05-05 15:14 trinque: mircea_popescu: wget -R will suck down every URL it finds, js included [13:53]
asciilifeform: so wget and any similar mechanism, is quite worthless for archiving hostile www. [13:53]
trinque: nonsense. [14:18]
trinque: and removing those tags > running the thing through a giant wad of browser [14:19]
trinque: if the thing doesn't render readably without JS it was written by morons, and who wants to read anyway [14:19]
trinque: supposing someone does want to read, sure, doing this is the only means [14:20]
ben_vulpes: how is one to hoist the morons upon their own words if they're only legible with js? [14:20]
trinque: man I don't want to read every livejournal before condemning [14:21]
trinque: the nuremberg that lasted eternity [14:21]
ben_vulpes: and when nate silver tires of the archiving of his bad predictions? [14:23]
trinque: !#s enumerating badness [14:23]
a111: 11 results for "enumerating badness", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=enumerating%20badness [14:23]
ben_vulpes: we possibly speak past each other. [14:24]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-05#1652151 << ~whole point is to archive völkischer beobachter et al. the folx who work day and night to make it difficult. [14:26]

asciilifeform: otherwise 'unhappening' is far too easy. [14:26]
trinque: I guess I remain unconvinced that I ever gained anything paying attention to them [14:28]
trinque: but am not prepared to argue that's the general case [14:28]
asciilifeform: not as such [14:29]
asciilifeform: but to pay attention to the specific pattern of what is lied about -- gained, yes. [14:29]
asciilifeform: this is quite difficult without archiving. [14:29]
trinque: I see a bias of my own here, towards tuning out noise. [14:36]
trinque: the archiving of them is indeed relevant to the historian [14:37]
trinque: for archiving the few sane folks in same time period, no js required [14:37]
asciilifeform: !~later tell mod6 http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/upCny/?raw=true << makefile. this will work everywhere but crapple, where static linking is entirely dead. ( will work there also if you discard the relevant flags. ) [14:39]
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded. [14:39]
asciilifeform: subdir 'bin' must exist. [14:40]
asciilifeform: this also gives you automagic flymake support in emacs [14:40]
asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/tBbGD/?raw=true << well, not quite automatic, you need this in your .emacs . [14:41]
asciilifeform: ^^^ mod6 , ben_vulpes , trinque , et al -- complete gnat magics ^^^ [14:42]
ben_vulpes: from the void: https://perma.cc/ [14:42]
asciilifeform: lol another heathen deedbot. [14:42]
asciilifeform: 'supporting partners' 'cloudflare' 'harvard' [14:43]
asciilifeform: and of course archive.org ( why does usg need TWO of these ? ) [14:43]
trinque: diversity strengthens us (and fattens the budget) [14:43]
asciilifeform: mod6: lemme know if you have questions re the makefile. you will notice that there are multiple knobs. [14:43]
mod6: ok will look in just a sec here. [14:46]
mod6: thanks asciilifeform [14:47]
asciilifeform: that ain't all : [14:47]
asciilifeform: there is another util, called gprbuild [14:47]
asciilifeform: it comes with adacore's gnat, but with the vanilla gnu one, you gotta build it by hand [14:47]
asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/H2ASf/?raw=true << example of how to use it. [14:47]
asciilifeform: it displaces gnumake entirely [14:48]
asciilifeform: in favour of a more intelligent, ada-specific thing [14:48]
asciilifeform: see official docs for what all of the knobs do, my paste only shows the very basic ones. [14:48]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh, so that's what it was. [14:56]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/rhezw/?raw=true << very helpful professional isp, i'm like... "oh, MY SERVER. that's unambiguous enough." [14:56]
ben_vulpes: psh why would anyone ever need more than one server [14:57]
ben_vulpes: just containerize everything you do [14:57]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-05#1652151 << people making fun of morons, for instance. [14:57]

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i ordered a kubinetes book but got instead an ikea box. [14:58]
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: are you thick? it comes with instructions [14:59]
ben_vulpes: just bolt the jet to the submarine [15:00]
mircea_popescu: yes but it put together a maschinengewehr 42 when i followed wthem [15:00]
ben_vulpes: oh that's odd [15:01]
ben_vulpes: are you sure you're reading the romanian instructions and not the argentine ones? [15:01]
ben_vulpes: also have you tried rebooting your cardboard [15:01]
mircea_popescu: it's all in broken pigdin anyway [15:01]
ben_vulpes: oh there's your problem, the broken pigeons hold it all together [15:02]
mircea_popescu: i see ty for help a+++ would quora again. [15:03]
ben_vulpes: plz rate if this answered your problem [15:03]
mircea_popescu: !!rate ben_vulpes [15:03]
ben_vulpes: mark as resolved [15:03]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seems odd, the phrasing, 'a network segment associated with your server', as if only the lan had gone down [15:06]
asciilifeform: ( whereas in fact entire box did ) [15:07]
mircea_popescu: i don't expect by now there's any relation whatsoever between the mouth-like organ and the arm-like organ of the vaguely organised amoeba colony. [15:07]
asciilifeform: i thought this was a vaguely-sane d00d, not amoeba... [15:07]
mircea_popescu: i broadly inferred that "something happened". [15:07]
mircea_popescu: !#s cherry servers [15:07]
a111: 1 result for "cherry servers", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=cherry%20servers [15:07]
mircea_popescu: odd, figured prominently in the previous "we need isp" installment. [15:08]
trinque: could've been power outage and network segment refers to area of DC [15:09]
mircea_popescu: on the strenght of the text as it is could just as well been guywith molotov for the same money. [15:12]
asciilifeform: aha, anything from tripped cable to asteroid [15:12]
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ^^^ mod6 , ben_vulpes , trinque , et al -- complete gnat magics ^^^ << aha. thx. [15:48]
mod6: fwiw, i don't emacs or whatever it is. [15:48]
mod6: but, let's not worry about that for now, i got a working env on my side. [15:49]
* shinohai doesn't emacs either so all of last thread was lost on him. [16:09]

mod6: On to FG #4... [17:48]
mod6: asciilifeform: hey!! Thanks for the makefile :] [17:48]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fella's a bit fixated on normal conquest, berber slavers, conscripted sailors. might even be a candidate for one of your cuckold stories. [18:06]
asciilifeform: *norman conquest, lol [18:06]
asciilifeform: pretty well read , overall, which is rare for the type [18:06]

asciilifeform: 'This is what nobles do. The Duke of This or the Baron of That, the King of France or the Holy Roman Emperor, they called themselves warriors but actually they were just armed and heavily armoured thugs. If they weren’t leading their men up the hill to their death, they were leading them in the slaughter of the enemy. Sometimes in these battles the nobles died too. But in the middle-ages, in the so-called Age of Chivalry, while the [19:47]
asciilifeform: y expected the common soldiers, their ‘men’, to be slaughtered without mercy, they expected that if they themselves were facing defeat they would be able to ‘yield’, to be taken prisoner, to be treated honourably while awaiting the collection of a huge ransom paid for their release. The ransom money of course had to be ground out of their ever-suffering tenants and serfs back at home.' << lulzy [19:47]

What about his wealthy and privileged background? Where did the wealth to build Blenheim Palace come from? What had his ancestor John Churchill, The Duke of Marlborough, done to deserve it? Who were his victims?' [19:52]
asciilifeform: i actually find orwell quite considerably less outrageous than linked d00d. in the time of o it was at least possible to imagine the commoners whom, if, e.g., churchill, had not eaten, might have 'done great things'. but today ? [19:53]
asciilifeform: when we know what the 'great things' are -- reddit ? [19:54]
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> when we know what the 'great things' are -- reddit ? << Or local news bitching about how they plan to rebuilt their thrice washed out property, because apparently the watershed that took everything from you thrice did not bring enough pain to negate "good memories at the old house(s)" [19:57]

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: why not houses on stilts, as in vietnam ?? [19:57]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Those exist in saner river proximity construction [19:58]
BingoBoingo: Instead the vermin bitch and moan that the nest they keep building in the culvert keeps washing away [19:58]
BingoBoingo: We're going to need bigger conibears [19:59]
BingoBoingo: This is exactly vermin behavior of the same sort asciilifeform observed when he saw squirrels hapily munching nuts while resting on dead squirrels [20:01]

asciilifeform: 'the murdrum fine did not extend to any Englishman who was murdered.

mod6: just made this amazing venison & porkbutt burger w blue cheese. [20:50]
mod6: it's hard to do venison right, but when it's good, it's really good. [20:51]
mircea_popescu: what duke of this called himself "a warrior" and what the holy fuck, i thought this guy was supposed to be literate ? wtf happened at, say, agincourt ? [20:53]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reddit commoner existed in the time of orwell just as well. [20:55]

mircea_popescu: possibly the best piece re englishittery, that story. the normans were fucking right and truly should have exterminated that most miserable race. [21:05]
mircea_popescu: well, latin idea originally, but anyway. latins couldn't bring themselves to care. i can readily see why. [21:06]
