asciilifeform: loads for me [09:45]
asciilifeform: re drives : do recall that you get a phree yearly swap, ~if needed~ . [09:48]
asciilifeform: ( if we pull the 'failed' drive, and all sectors write ok, you'll be getting that same drive again. ) [09:49]
asciilifeform: and backups are the customer's responsibility. always and without exception. [09:50]

lobbesbot: avgjoe: Sent 1 day, 21 hours, and 32 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> I don't talk to strangers in private [11:41]
avgjoe: so i'd like to ask what happens if there are other "avgjoe" logged on irc and my client change a bit the username to log me in [11:43]
avgjoe: is there a way to register the username on the channel? [11:43]
asciilifeform: avgjoe: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration etc [11:44]
asciilifeform: it's a fleanode chan, reg yer nick on fleanode [11:45]
avgjoe: when i log in it says: Your host is hobana.freenode.net[81.18.73.123/6667], [11:45]
asciilifeform: aha [11:46]
asciilifeform: follow their recipe, reg the nick [11:46]
avgjoe: ok, i just wanted to report my experience installing TRB. On debian stretch after installing all the dependencies listed on http://thebitcoin.foundation/trb-howto.html , i've modified on /etc/apt/sources.list the repo to the jessie one, then installed gcc and g++ 4.9, then reversed back to stretch [11:52]
avgjoe: after installing the deps, i had to set export CPPFLAGS="-P" , otherwise it fails in the middle [11:55]
avgjoe: then started the bitcoind with LC_ALL=C in front of the command and started syncing [11:56]
avgjoe: so far is working properly on debian 9 just modifying the repo (because stretch repo hasn't gcc 4.x) [11:58]
avgjoe: my question is: if i add nodes that aren't on the trusted nodes list, what are the risks? [12:00]
BingoBoingo: <avgjoe> my question is: if i add nodes that aren't on the trusted nodes list, what are the risks? << Unknown, generally desirable to get more connections. The idea of the list is to provide a minimum number of non-evil nodes to help you stay in civilized communion. [12:21]
avgjoe: but aren't new blocks fetched from evil implementations? [12:21]
avgjoe: someone (not my server, but some other trb instance) is going to get from who these blocks? [12:22]
BingoBoingo: Maybe? Maybe not? The question is do the blocks validate as good. [12:22]
BingoBoingo: If the blocks are good, they are Bitcoin Blocks. If not, they are some sort of altcoin (but probably not capital A Altcoin) blocks [12:23]
avgjoe: ok i understand, so i shouldn't worry if for instance i connect to a segwit node, my node will try to chop off the irrelevant parts of what it receive, correct? [12:24]
avgjoe: so the trusted nodes list is more useful on the initial startup when there are a lot of blocks to download and it'd be easier to just have nodes that doesn't send unnecessary info (like segwit payload)? [12:26]
BingoBoingo: Segwit nodes usually have been bricked to the point of not successfully connecting to the Bitcoin network [12:26]
BingoBoingo: And Segwit can't in the form the Power Rangers settled on arbitrarily slice shit off of transactions or blocks. Segwit is an opt-in evil. It can only tickle your butthole if you let it in. [12:27]
avgjoe: other curiosity i've not found on logs: what does it means bastard block on the debug.log? [12:29]
BingoBoingo: The node is unaware of the block's parentage. [12:29]
BingoBoingo: It may be a good block, it it will have to try getting accepted again once the node is aware of its daddy [12:30]
BingoBoingo: This keeps bastards from unproductively filling up RAM [12:41]

trinque: lol yeah, serious gay vibes throughout. [14:54]
mircea_popescu: aha. [14:57]
mircea_popescu: good quality humour always includes a pinch to heaping spoonfuls of ~providing something in short supply~. the pantsuit tards translate this as "speak truth to power", but it's utter bullshit. the politics of humour are uninteresting from a humor-centered perspective but the economics of humor are not -- because economics was blessed by god originally with this and only this its attribute : you will forever be field-relevan [14:58]
mircea_popescu: t to any field howsoever defined. [14:58]
mircea_popescu: and have you noticed how little PATRONIZING of gays is available on the discoursive shelves of today ? [14:59]
mircea_popescu: that's my own explanation for myself as to what has just happened to me, for the record. "the guy thought..." in context. [14:59]
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo, hard to say no to hopkins etc. << Sure, but the original film has a much better deviant [15:04]

BingoBoingo: There's also a made for TV adaptation spanning three seasons which no one has time for in 2018 that turns the script into an overt love story between the FBI profiler and the Republican psychiatrist to fill time [15:13]
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, heh. tv junklets you knopw\] [15:13]
BingoBoingo: Show ends with Jack and Hannibal erotically slicing up the FYIAD fellow and cliff diving to presumed death or a cancelled fourth season of their love story [15:15]

BingoBoingo: Turns out you CAN be too gay for NBC [15:27]
mircea_popescu: or maybe just not fabulous enough. [15:28]
BingoBoingo: Also possible. Maybe it was for spreading very 1980's stereotypes of homosexuals? [15:29]

mircea_popescu: the point of trusted nodes isn't "don't link to other nodes or bad things weill happen". the point is "always have these in your connection to stay sane", because a major attack vector towards bitcoin is separation, ie get two sets of nodes adrift in different realities. [18:01]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-21#1804343 << blocks are immutable by implementations this is both the source of the observation that "bitcoin corrupts absolutely", ie, it is superlative to anything the usg can come up with and the whole fucking point of the protocol in the first place. can trust evil people to do your shit, because bitcoin promises it will enforce upon them the dilemma "either be ENTIRELY impotent, or els [18:02]

phf: asciilifeform: couple of weeks ago a gentleman sat down at my table at a capitol hill cafe and after a rather brief and unremarkable small talk started asking me, why "you", which shortly turned to mean the cia, are following me. [21:33]
phf: following him that is [21:33]
phf: i started humoring him, "that's what we do", "the hunter must hunt" etc. but that might've been a mistake, because he got progressively more agitated, and i had to depart out of fear of him getting violent [21:34]
mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if not a full half of the aspirational 14% is firmly convinced there's MORE THAN ONE man hour / hour spent by me/usg/god/aliens/whoever specifically on their case. [21:37]
