I'm having the same issue with mp-wp saying php is missing the mysql extension, despite having the mysql USE flag set when I emerged php5.6. Full details of my issue here: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/zNr0A/?raw=true [01:56]
a111: Logged on 2018-04-15 22:31 esthlos: there's not even a mysql use flag, just mysqli and PDO [01:56]
lobbes: seems indeed no mysql for /dev-lang/php (but then.. how did you get mp-wp working if mysqli evidently can't cut the mustard and no mysql O_o) >> https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-lang/php [02:03]

a111: Logged on 2018-05-29 01:46 mircea_popescu: well, his principal problem isn't even that but rather that there isn't ~anything fucking there~. he'd like to have some sort of relationship with someone, but the problem is that he does not actually encounter anyone capable of it. [08:41]

phf: it's also that brief time of the year in maryland dc area when the weather is _good_. the rollercoaster of winter is past, but the swampy oppressive summer isn't here yet. [09:20]
phf: mod6: you planning any vacations? [09:21]
mod6: speaking of maryland, I saw that one town near baltimore had some raging torrents of rain rushing through the streets this weekend. [09:23]
mod6: up here, we didn't even get a spring. few weeks back (it seems) was getting blizzards, now last weekend, it was 101 deg. F. [09:24]

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-29#1819444 << and that's exactly the problem -- he was participating EARNESTLY. he actually tried to do well, and had the wherewithal to do well. he was, if you will, a republican lost in empire. [12:19]

mircea_popescu: they don't earnestly try. that's the fucking point, when presented a paper car you don't ernestly try to drive it when presented a "social justice" truth / "Global warming" science etc religious nonsense you don't earnestly try to verify it. you're supposed to be excited and fucking clap, what the fuck, they're filming the advertising not asking you what you think.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was thinking re detail of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-29#1819365 : theoretically a pure shitcoin<->btc transmutator, does not need gox in the loop, if shitcoin ~buyers~ could be persuaded to visit it and buy [12:34]
a111: Logged on 2018-05-29 01:08 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, ideally interfaces with all the goxen. [12:34]
mircea_popescu: this imo is involving the wrong end of the vagina. [12:35]
asciilifeform: ( obvious problem -- the 'buyers' aint human, they consist solely of goxen, quite likely. still could outsource the chore of ferrying shitcoin to gox, and consider the two subsystems as independent ) [12:35]
mircea_popescu: most of the goxen have "api"s . [12:36]
asciilifeform: they appear to. however they also insist on various idiocies, 'accounts', '2factor'-whatevers, various caltrops to attempt to prevent precisely such automation [12:38]
asciilifeform: it can be worked around, but game is probably not worth the candles, considering what folx are typically willing to pay for transmuting shitcoin [12:38]
mircea_popescu: note that i was talking to jurov. considering he's intelligent and seems maybe interested (hard to tell, he's so quiet), and considering he's not currently doing anything, the marginal cost in republican terms is 0. [12:40]
asciilifeform: right [12:41]
mircea_popescu: the marginal utility is not 0, ill throw some ex-coin in the hopper if it's made. [12:42]
asciilifeform: i suspect the result will be interesting mostly as a 'journal of negative results' item. ( gox, for instance, can quietly swallow coin, once it cottons on to who's using api, and why . asciilifeform's acct, last time around, was -- interestingly -- closed by goxkeeper , tho a coupla days too late to have any effect ) [12:42]
mircea_popescu: ha. [12:43]
asciilifeform: sorta was my point : it isn't that no one can build a convenient ( from user pov ) transmutation reactor ! it can be built. but operation will inevitably involve good deal of regular sweat from the operator, negating most of the automation. [12:44]
asciilifeform: setting up nodes to actually do the deed of shitcoin removal and movement, for instance, is ( at least in asciilifeform's experience last summer ) a first class bitch [12:45]
asciilifeform: ( the folx running the 'shitcoin is worth something' theatre, have substantial interest in nobody actually running nodes but themselves , etc , this prolly is obvious to the alert reader ) [12:47]
ben_vulpes: the electrum forks make it pretty simple in my experience. [12:48]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: electrum is poison [12:48]
asciilifeform: you are operating nodeless, in effect, when you use it as replacement for own node. [12:48]
ben_vulpes: i'm not using it as a node, i'm using it as a scalpel to slice flesh off altcoiners [12:49]
ben_vulpes: so what if it's rusty [12:49]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: same problem applies to using it to move shitcoins, as in bitcoin [12:49]
asciilifeform: i.e. you are relying on somebody else's node . [12:49]
asciilifeform: if you wouldn't move own bitcoin this way, why wouldja move own shitcoin (worth, nominally, a qty of bitcoin) with it. [12:50]
BingoBoingo: Expediancy [12:51]
trinque: because it's an optimization problem with a disposable item as one of the terms [12:51]
trinque: I guess asciilifeform never had the proverbial beater car [12:51]
ben_vulpes: ^ [12:51]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, hey, at least documenting the lulz "everyone knows" where everyone takes value from the set of 5 folk who went to the same state street kindergarten we did... [12:51]
asciilifeform: trinque: i dun think i've ever driven anything but 'beater car' [12:51]
ben_vulpes: there are things for which i care about maintaining the tree of inputs that resulted in my balance, and there's ephemeral shit [12:52]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-29#1819514 << because it isn't, lmao. [12:52]
a111: Logged on 2018-05-29 16:50 asciilifeform: if you wouldn't move own bitcoin this way, why wouldja move own shitcoin (worth, nominally, a qty of bitcoin) with it. [12:52]
ben_vulpes: once it turns into a real item, aka bitcoin, i care. until then, nop [12:52]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i guess we can revisit this hypothesis when somebody asks your bot to transmute 100btc worth of shitcoin, and hostile upstream node bamboozles yer electrum into sending it to hitler. [12:53]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, so you advertise a tx limit. [12:53]
mircea_popescu: "nothing over 1 btc plox, we're using a friable stack" [12:53]
mircea_popescu: and if it blows up, in lieu of the product you give the victims a signed full description of what happened. [12:53]
asciilifeform: sorta like, you dun care necessarily if somebody steals a turd that a bird shat into your garden. but on other hand, if somali pirates steal a tanker of guano from your guano fleet... [12:54]
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: how would this bamboozling work, operator still supplies address to spend to [12:54]
mircea_popescu: item is far, far from "no marginal utility", identified a bunch of significant valuable outputs from it. [12:54]
ben_vulpes: afaik, the option to bamboozle is in withholding outputs or supplying synthetics [12:54]
mircea_popescu: especially the 2nd order effect of "mandated post-mortems", none of that inept shit where freenode announces it was nsa infected, promises write-up, then forgets it did and replaces everyone involved. [12:55]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-29#1819515 << expedient, expediency. [12:55]
a111: Logged on 2018-05-29 16:51 BingoBoingo: Expediancy [12:55]
asciilifeform: lol re fleanode -- this was at least... 3rd time? ( and that's merely since asciilifeform tuned in ) [12:55]
mircea_popescu: i'm just talking about the one they themselves identified, 3 years ago or so. [12:56]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-19#1410185 << they wiped the old articles, note this goes to root now [12:57]
a111: Logged on 2016-02-19 15:24 mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> so now with https://blog.freenode.net/2016/02/recent-events-and-future-changes/ it is probably a good time to point out that i've been trying to get you people a server for maybe three years now. are you still unable to be helped or has that bad habit of the past changed also ? kloeri ? mist ? or who do i talk to. [12:57]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i seem to recall electrum being one of those turds that ~nobody was able to get to even build, and ~all of the users used a binturd, which at least 1nce turned out to contain straight back orifice [12:57]
mircea_popescu: this is correct. [12:58]
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu's pill, of limiting payload mass per shot, is prolly The Right Thing ( tho keep in mind that, given the erratic block production of typical shitfork, it will make for a quite slow and volatile dumping ) [12:59]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, http://btcbase.org/log/2014-10-14#873009 << this item. [12:59]

BingoBoingo: Slow and volatile dumping is desirable for damaging shitfork credibility [12:59]

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that , and last week's , and at least 1nce between the 2 [13:01]
mircea_popescu: anyway. rather than the transparent shenanigans, it is of greater concern that ~no one is on freenode. i mean, the fucktards in #lisp still, TO THIS DAY, haven't yet figured their way out of the paper bag of my asking "hey folk, would you like a candi_lustt ?". [13:02]
mircea_popescu: there's 20k or whatever who connect, and 99% of the humans involved are on #trilema, it's ridiculous. [13:02]
asciilifeform: ( and for some reason they announced it via spamatron ? or whole thing, disinfo? i've neither any idea, nor particularly care... http://logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro?d=2018-5-26#363971 ) [13:02]

asciilifeform: https://freenode.net/news/services-maintenance-password-security << squidink in re last wk's lulz [13:04]
mircea_popescu: i honestly can't be arsed. [13:04]
mircea_popescu: we know it's a thoroughly despisable piece of shit. [13:05]
asciilifeform: aha, pretty tedious [13:05]
asciilifeform: 'Unfortunately, some people have used this opportunity to spread some misinformation, claiming that "all passwords have been released". This is not the case there has been no threat to account security due to this incident. Additionally, we do not store passwords in a recoverable form at all.' << i've a bridge to sell. [13:06]
mircea_popescu: whatevert. [13:08]
mircea_popescu: the true part (there's no threat to account security) comes from the fact we don't even use their derpy scheme. [13:11]
asciilifeform: iirc we still have a nonfatal headache potential baked in, if fleanode walks away somebody's nick [13:12]
mircea_popescu: ~= banning neh ? [13:12]
asciilifeform: ( or am i mistaken ? trinque , if can't use nick, can still auth with deedbot ? or not ) [13:12]
mircea_popescu: there's no "auth". there's just voice. and as douchebag aptly pointed out, if you change the name nothing happens. [13:12]
mircea_popescu: so... we've actually designed around them. dun dun dun. [13:13]
asciilifeform: ( then apparently trinque fixed this and asciilifeform slept through ) [13:13]
mircea_popescu: what was your idea of "auth" ? [13:13]
asciilifeform: voice, i meant [13:13]
mircea_popescu: it's how it always work. [13:13]
mircea_popescu: we specifically took out the gribble "functionality" of "auth state" nanotube was to fix his bot to match but then opted to silently not to, ended up negrated for it. [13:14]
asciilifeform: i thought he was negrated for desertion [13:14]
BingoBoingo: It's a collection of related disfunctions [13:14]
mircea_popescu: usually cancer presents as a ball of pasta. [13:14]
trinque: deedbot doesn't require you be auth'd to nickserv, but does challenge you based on the nick with which you're speaking to it. [13:16]
asciilifeform: aha, so not 100% cured , then ? [13:17]
mircea_popescu: you have 30 seconds to do it. [13:18]
asciilifeform: iirc if nick is proper-banned, you can't sit in it even for 30s [13:18]
trinque: if the circumstance arose where somebody lifted "asciilifeform" I wouldn't be opposed to changing the alias string for same key to "alfredalfer" as I've handled expired keys in the past, by proving control of key to me [13:19]
mircea_popescu: which is why i said, ~= banning [13:19]
mircea_popescu: trinque, eventually, the cost of inept hoops exceeds the cost of let's just move. [13:19]
trinque: indeed [13:19]
mircea_popescu: which is what's his interest in all this, i dunno why he recently figured out he wants a special irc network. [13:20]
asciilifeform: lolrecently [13:20]
trinque: asciilifeform: have you considered a decentralized design for an IRC replacement? [13:21]
* trinque ducks [13:21]
asciilifeform: lol [13:21]
mircea_popescu: trinque, the whole fucking idea is to replace it once and good, with gossipd. [13:28]
mircea_popescu: wtf do i want to reimplement bs irc, end up with a dead genesis that we won't use. [13:28]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the issue isn't whether we should have proper rt comms the issue is why the fuck would i want an intermediate step here. i don't, it's a great way to waste manhours. [13:29]
asciilifeform: generally you wouldn't [13:29]
asciilifeform: however it is not necessarily the case that it'd be a total writeoff. a irc frontend for gossip station would ( iirc we discussed this ) not be useless, it would eliminate the chore of writing chat clients [13:30]
asciilifeform: so potentially the genesis would not be junk, but could be productively reused. [13:30]
asciilifeform: ( naturally you'd run the frontend on localhost strictly ) [13:31]
trinque: mircea_popescu: I was trolling alf here. [13:31]
trinque: obviously I've been here for those threads. [13:31]
mircea_popescu: right. [13:31]
asciilifeform: trinque: it's a valid q imho, tho, whether an adatronic irc oughta be baked [13:32]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, only after cuntoo is properly made. [13:32]
mircea_popescu: so far we're having some trouble getting the whole shebang to do eulora server, and so on. [13:32]
mircea_popescu: there's a progression to things. [13:32]
asciilifeform: hm i thought the eulora server was up and going ?? [13:33]
asciilifeform: ( or was mircea_popescu trying to put it on arm box , and waiting for arm gnat ? ) [13:33]
mircea_popescu: you were there for the threads, neh, diana_coman working with ave1 to get it going ? [13:35]
asciilifeform: right however i do not currently grasp where it fits in ( i delivered and gentooized a large amd64 box for s.mg thought it was to be eulora server ) [13:36]
asciilifeform: incidentally i have ave1's latest tarball queued up for testing at nightfall. [13:36]
mircea_popescu: nobody's saying we don't have the parts or that they can't be made or anything. [13:37]
* trinque has for example been chewing through everything that moved out from under his last cuntoo build script. [13:41]
asciilifeform: trinque: moved out ? [13:41]
trinque: debugging a busybox ebuild [13:41]
trinque: asciilifeform: yes, shitgnomes in both the gentoo and musl-overlay portage trees continued their brownian motion and diana_coman for example couldn't build, one day [13:42]
asciilifeform: aaaaaaa tarballs [13:42]
trinque: not only, they delete ebuilds [13:42]
asciilifeform: trinque: would there be value in offering my /usr/portage/distfiles as a mirror ? [13:43]
trinque: so I wont be making a release until I again have a whole-item which builds, and then there'll be a genesis vpatch for the portage tree, and goodbye emerge --sync, and layman, and every other external political dependency [13:43]
asciilifeform: ( on dulap, it's only 900MB, incidentally ) [13:44]
asciilifeform: and also incidentally, every rockchip box contains a complete /usr/portage/distfiles reflecting every single item present on that box ( as i emerged world prior to making master image ) [13:44]
trinque: there'll be a whole archeological process of making vpatches for useful ebuilds, but the initial item needs to be small as possible [13:45]
trinque: and it'll still be a trb-sized genesis of a "found item" [13:45]
asciilifeform: trinque: imho the rockchip set is your best bet then. it is as minimal as i knew how to make. [13:45]
asciilifeform: ( keeping in mind that it includes no musltronicity patches ) [13:45]
trinque: I already have this minimal set, but thanks [13:46]
asciilifeform: anyone who doesn't have it -- can extract it trivially from http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2295 ball [13:46]
trinque: what moved is the constellations of musl and non-musl versions of ebuilds gotta align the stars again, then take a picture [13:46]
asciilifeform: ^ signed, observe, as 'found turd' [13:46]
asciilifeform: ^ yes, there is a asciilifeform-signed curated gentoo set ! [13:47]
asciilifeform: there's nothing specifically arm-istic about it, either, same tarballs as used on x86 boxen [13:47]
asciilifeform: the only variant src item is the kernel ( it has rockchip-specific modules ) [13:48]
asciilifeform: full src is in all of the rk boxen. [13:48]
mircea_popescu: the concept of "political dependency" is actually a rather important one. it most valuably organizes the world. [13:49]
mircea_popescu: there's meaning derived from meaning and then there's meaning derived from authority, and the shitgnomes trying to pretend equality only confuses matters. [13:49]
asciilifeform: the set of 'meanings derived from meaning' accessible in practical work is quite small. [13:50]
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform works on expanding it, but it is a very painful uphill climb ) [13:50]
mircea_popescu: and yet the pretense is ~every fucking time~ that "science" and bla bla. [13:51]
mircea_popescu: but obviously, one direct measure of "getting away from marxism-leninism" is "how much shit needs stalin notes". [13:51]
asciilifeform: ahaha yes the 'science' where 'can haz rawdata.txt ?' 'fuckoff terrorist' [13:51]
mircea_popescu: more in the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-04#1809349 vein of nonsense [13:52]
a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 17:15 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: oh. so. "the world doesnt care about the cool hackers on the internet, but only the assholes with prestigious positions." this has been a widely known complaint for a long time [13:52]
mircea_popescu: "the world", don't you know. which world ? "oh, you know, the imaginary item we produced". what we ? [13:52]
trinque: or the OS build process that says "first you go see usg.google.gentoo" [13:52]
mircea_popescu: quite. [13:52]
asciilifeform: trinque: dun forget to install the usg root certs!111111 [13:52]
asciilifeform: ( without which, lulzily, won't even see usg.google.* ) [13:53]
asciilifeform: upstack : congrats to BingoBoingo , subscriber of the last ( in pilot plant ) rockchip !! [14:01]
asciilifeform: all 6 units currently occupied ! [14:01]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in recent lulz : asciilifeform ran into the d00d in http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-start-your-own-country-adnotated/ , in meatspace [14:32]
asciilifeform: turns out, he's burned out ex-physics , 1960s mit. [14:33]
asciilifeform: 'quit , didn't want to be yet another grunt on yet another particle collider', went into ordinary engineering. [14:34]
asciilifeform: d00d in his, iirc, 90s. so i ask him about ye olde 'sealand isp'. he waves hand, 'eh, was lame, they could do nothing serious because upstream net access was easily cut' [14:35]
asciilifeform: then he conceded, more or less, that the whole 'micro-nations' crackpottery, was lame, for more or less the reasons described by mircea_popescu . [14:39]
mircea_popescu: hey. nice to know. [14:41]
asciilifeform: also revealed ( not in confidence, this was party with buncha folx ) that thiel ( apparently, friend of his ) is still pushing it, and is frustrated re 'lack of young people with any sense' , 0 takers to crew the lulztanker. [14:42]
asciilifeform: thiel, apparently, built ( threatened to build? i dun follow the subj... ) a tanker, anchor somewhere, and play similar game to orig 'sealand' . what he lacks, however is the business model ( apparently sealand had a business model, and raked in some dough , briefly -- britain had no commercial radio, at one time, and sealand 'pirate' station accepted ads from brits , paid through proxies ) [14:44]
asciilifeform: ( cursory look at heathendom sources suggests that thiel's thing is finally, as of mar. 2018, properly dead and buried ) [14:48]

jurov: mircea_popescu: yes I can do the exchange. [15:37]
jurov: asciilifeform: i understand you like to blow your fuses over electrum, but I do *not* use electrum online, only the code. [15:40]
asciilifeform: jurov: what means 'only the code' ? [15:40]
jurov: I feed it inputs and keys manually via the console, then paste resulting shitcoin transaction somewhere. That's why I said it's somewhat slow. [15:40]
asciilifeform: jurov: and how do you know what the transaction the closedblob output, is ? i.e. that it goes to the addr you gave (i.e. the gox's) rather than some other ? [15:41]
jurov: i have read the code [15:42]
asciilifeform: so jurov you actually got electrum to build ? [15:42]
jurov: you mean the server? yes, some time ago [15:43]
asciilifeform: i mean the item you mentioned above. that generates tx. [15:43]
jurov: the client does it [15:43]
asciilifeform: jurov please don't dance around my q, you know exactly what i'm asking [15:43]
jurov: not at all [15:43]
asciilifeform: are you or are you not using a binturd to generate shitcoin transactions. [15:43]
jurov: which one? [15:44]
asciilifeform: electrum. [15:44]
jurov: electrum is python. [15:44]
asciilifeform: and you read it ? [15:44]
jurov: yes, submitted some patches [15:44]
asciilifeform: ok, ty. [15:45]
asciilifeform: jurov: plz consider posting a signed (with disclaimers, if you like) tarball ? [15:45]
asciilifeform: of the thing that you read. [15:45]
jurov: mkay [15:46]
mircea_popescu: jurov, pretty cool, let me know when you want it tested [16:05]
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, someone made a porny dune 1 ( http://gamcore.com/games/behind_the_dune ) [16:25]
Mocky: what's the story on source code editors on linux? "emacs or gtfo" ? [16:59]
asciilifeform: Mocky: there's quite a few folx here who use non-emacs editors [17:00]
* Mocky would love to hear about them [17:02]
trinque: douchebag uses Visual Studio (TM) on his MacBook Pro [17:04]
Mocky: what do you use trinque? (imma guess emacs) [17:06]
trinque: eh begrudgingly, as the most tunable pile of insane bullshit I can tolerate. [17:07]
* asciilifeform hasn't met many emacsists who say anything other than 'i use grudgingly' [17:08]
mircea_popescu: i write most of my code in the terminal. [17:08]
asciilifeform: emacs is a massively tall rock of local maximum surrounded by ocean of boiling liquishit. [17:09]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm almost surprised you dun write it with http://www.loper-os.org/pub/podvig_radista.jpg terminal. [17:09]
Mocky: I used emacs for a while and didn't strictly hate it, although i did strictly hate elisp [17:09]
mircea_popescu: lol [17:10]
mod6: I just ran across the c3 photos. But the date has me shook. [17:55]
mod6: Was it really in 2015? Seems like it was longer ago than that. [17:55]
asciilifeform: mod6: apr 2015 [17:56]
mod6: Ok, wow. Seems like a long time. [17:56]
asciilifeform: possibly feels like this because, i suppose, different epoch. [18:00]
asciilifeform: ( c2 feels, to asciilifeform , even 'longer ago', epochally -- even such a basic thing as trb, say, did not yet exist ) [18:03]
mircea_popescu: lot changed huh [18:27]
asciilifeform: even v, started at end of aug of '15 -- months after c3 [18:30]
* asciilifeform remembers finding it odd that kako did not appear at c3 [18:33]
asciilifeform: objectively odd, ye olde bbet was not only still in the saddle but riding at its peak... [18:34]
mircea_popescu: outside of driving range tho [18:47]
* asciilifeform didnt drive there either, lol [18:48]
mircea_popescu: myeah. [18:50]

Mocky: vim, I could never get used to having modes. didn't feel right. but I know a lot of people like it [19:09]
mircea_popescu: how did that go, "to obtain random strings on linux, give a windows person vim and ask them to exit" [19:12]
esthlos: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-27#1819254 << well, if you can find problems with my v implementation, i'd be grateful. any testing is appreciated, really [19:21]

I'm having the same issue with mp-wp saying php is missing the mysql extension, despite having the mysql USE flag set when I emerged php5.6. Full details of my issue here: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/zNr0A/?raw=true [19:26]
ben_vulpes: esthlos: what'd you do for theming? i just took a look at "toolbox" at BingoBoingo's request, have you ever touched that? [19:32]
lobbes: esthlos: ty. Also, I'm assuming this was on an amd64 and not an arm64 box? [19:39]
esthlos: ben_vulpes: I took the default theme (Kubrick), ripped out most of the php, and tweaked the css. at some point I plan to go through https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development and develop a proper theme, but I've placed it as low priority [19:40]
esthlos: I also killed the part of wordpress which adds line breaks to raw html code, which I will make a vpatch for at some point [19:41]
ben_vulpes: nifty [19:41]
esthlos: oh and no, haven't looked at BingoBoingo 's thingy. I'll check it out [19:42]
esthlos: lobbes: yeah, not arm. based on https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-lang/php the arm64 coverage looks bad [19:43]
mod6: <+asciilifeform> possibly feels like this because, i suppose, different epoch. << true enough, Sir. [19:52]
mod6: <+Mocky> vim, I could never get used to having modes. didn't feel right. but I know a lot of people like it << Vi/M can have a steep learning curve, but once you're good at it, it can ramp up your efficiency quite a bit imho. however, if you need something simple, there's always 'nano' or whatever. [19:59]
Mocky: mod6, I don't mind the learning curve. Back in the day I used emacs in viper mode on a slackware disto built from a two foot stack of 3.5in floppies and thought I was the shit. but a couple decades outta that game, just wondering if there's anything new. The full extent of what I know exists: emacs, vi(m), nano, ed, ex, gedit. [20:21]
mod6: yeah, not much has changed in the editor-game as far as I know. but i'm kinda old school like that. [20:28]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2018/muma-lui-stefan-cel-mare/#comment-125841 [21:02]

trinque: esthlos: well done indeed! [23:38]
esthlos: thankie [23:39]
esthlos: I should mention that I had some trouble pressing it using mod6's v. After the press, the thing complained that the hashes don't match. But if you check it manually, it works out [23:40]
asciilifeform: https://youtu.be/lXif1YplU7c << slightly better track, imho. [23:42]
asciilifeform: ( at least lacks the melodramatic 'warcraft II' bg of the prev item ) [23:43]
