diana_coman: ugh, asciilifeform I can't seem to be able to comment on your blog? (and fwiw it's also a pain because it won't work with ip in hosts only, I have to access it from toilet-pc) [11:51]
diana_coman: when I say I can't comment I mean it barfs with "incorrect captcha" while the captcha thing says it's shut down so no word to enter [12:05]

mircea_popescu: for incomprehensible reasons, chimichurri ~loves~ toilet paper. it'll stuff its craw with the stuff, if you hold a square up for it, shred it and pack it like there's no tomorrow. (and then its squeak changes, too, cuz obviously that thing dries out its liquids lmao). so now and again friendly folk might offer it a square. (gotta be the right, fluffy stuff i use tho). [12:53]
mircea_popescu: so now one day at the beach, when left behind with a girl because its mistress had... well, was busy ok, it wouldn't even eat the most delicious tp! NOT SAFE TO EAT TREATS WITHOUT BELOVED MISTRESS! [12:54]

a111: Logged on 2018-11-22 21:57 mircea_popescu: in other related matters : i'm authorizing her to add a patch on s.mg crypto lib, to permit arbitrary size e. i recall the threads at the time, but there's a ~really~ good reason to do it : we don't want to pass back and forth kbs worth of exponents. udp packets are small, and there's all the complicated matchwork of sizes meeting keys etc. [17:08]

phf: asciilifeform: a downside to your renaming the patches is that it breaks all the old btcbase links. e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch1_genesis is now http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch1_genesis.kv even though the content is the same [22:01]
