asciilifeform: city is so.. ~alive~. [00:20]
trinque: gets better the further you are from mordor [00:31]
asciilifeform: it is astonishing, the gurlz have faces [00:34]
asciilifeform: and when i look at them they look back like humanbeings [00:35]
danielpbarron: are you at a bar asciilifeform ? [00:43]
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: nope [00:48]
asciilifeform: what made you think i was [00:49]
asciilifeform: i merely was describing some of my observations from this excursion to outside of my jail. [00:51]
asciilifeform: unfortunately it is not as easy to go out of inner jail. [00:51]
Framedragger: "unfortunately it is not as easy to go out of inner jail." << i picture here a seneca with a screwdriver [04:10]
Framedragger: $ nslookup phuctor.nosuchlabs.com [05:35]
Framedragger: nslookup phuctor.nosuchlabs.com [05:35]
Framedragger: ping $_ [05:35]
Framedragger: 64 bytes from hst-46-166-165-30.balticservers.eu [05:35]
Framedragger: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ohey i know this hosting company :D the physical server is probably in šiauliai, a small town with good uplink heh [05:36]
Framedragger: i think i once contacted them about running a tor exit node there, they had said well if you put in your own reverse dns info for the ip block we give you then we 100% don't give a shit [05:36]
Framedragger: but mircea_popescu you of course know that lithuania is like 169% US's bitch. this was confirmed with drug market raids etc etc, but it's a generally known fact anyway. that being said, heh, cool. [05:37]
Framedragger: (^ failed paste, nslookup yields 46.166.165.30, but no diff) [05:50]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform traveling best thing to ever happen to you huh. [07:47]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> what made you think i was << how excited you sounded :D [07:47]
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i honestly don't give a shit what small national governments think they're doing or not doing or whatever. "lithuania" the subject of law is as unrecognized as usg is. no relation to anything, no power to anything, they can write bluntman and chronic comics about how "it is" an' "keep it real" if they so wish. [07:49]
mircea_popescu: and speaking of which, anyone saw "chasing amy" ? the piece of shit is iiiiincredible in terms of sheer soviet propagandaness, it's basically a 1997 intro manual for how to be a "sensitive" aka dickless libtard boi. [07:50]
mircea_popescu: replete with "asa da!" / "asa nu!" miniscenes, "ask amy" cameos and all the rest of the stupid. total fucking wow. [07:51]
mircea_popescu: and, as a sad testament of just how fucking stupid usians actually are/were, it'd seem they mostly bought it, too. [07:52]
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : fig.co (supposedly, "kickstarter for games"). [08:05]
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah of course - i just meant that any LT servers cannot be considered to be "bullet-proof" but maybe you were not aiming for the latter in terms of phuctor hosting anyway [08:38]
mircea_popescu: i am not aware of any services that can be considered bulletproof much like i'm not aware of any electoral process that can be considered representative, any computer code that can be considered correct or any fiat financial item that can be considered not a scam. [08:50]

mircea_popescu: which one is that ? iirc it had one of the tilly sisters in it [08:58]
mircea_popescu: whichever speaks through her nose. [08:58]
shinohai: Got to be the same woman, has the most annoying voice, was also in mallrats [08:58]
shinohai: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000725/ [08:59]
mircea_popescu: ow shit [09:00]
mircea_popescu: holy shit SHE was in married with children [09:01]
mircea_popescu: i was convinced the occasional slut is also one of teh tilly sisters [09:01]
mircea_popescu: wowza. [09:01]
mircea_popescu: anyway they all look ~same [09:02]
* BingoBoingo discovered a new word cleaning pending qntra comments: legix! As in Mt Gox was the most legix exchange. [09:05]
shinohai: lol [09:05]
BingoBoingo: Legix can be many things, but legix is mostly not legit. [09:07]
BingoBoingo: Actually let's define Legix: 1. Could be many things, but legix is most pointedly not legit [09:12]
BingoBoingo: Legit comments on a totally legix image macro https://i.sli.mg/NXfIun.png [09:14]
Framedragger: "i am not aware of any services that can be considered bulletproof much like i'm not aware of any electoral process that can be considered representative, any computer code that can be considered correct or any fiat financial item that can be considered not a scam." << i see your point and i agree, however it's probably not "all of the same" [09:15]
Framedragger: "i am not aware of any services that can be considered bulletproof much like i'm not aware of any electoral process that can be considered representative, any computer code that can be considered correct or any fiat financial item that can be considered not a scam." << i see your point and i agree, however it's probably not "all of the same" e.g. 2x4.ru have a reputation of being more hardcore i know this sounds naive and it probably i [09:15]
Framedragger: e.g. 2x4.ru have a reputation of being more hardcore i know this sounds naive and it probably is, but i've heard this from trustable sysadmins running, er, shadier stuff. this is of course anecdotal and it's naive to trust someone with your hardware anyway. [09:15]
Framedragger: sorry 4 spam [09:15]
BingoBoingo: That apology sounds legix. [09:16]
Framedragger: BingoBoingo: u what m8 [09:17]
BingoBoingo: I am adds to tmsr.vocab not the word we want, but the word we need. [09:18]

Framedragger: stephen: BOTNET ARE ILLEGAL AND YOUR COMPANY MUST NOT HOST SUCH CLIENTS [09:23]
Framedragger: Live Support | Thomas: we allow botnets. [09:23]
Framedragger: stephen: excusme ? you must be joking [09:23]

gribble: BTCChina BTCRMB last: 3271.55, vol: 62094.65320000 | Volume-weighted last average: 3271.55 [09:24]
mircea_popescu: Framedragger what do you mean "it's not all the same" ? it IS all the same what's gonna happen, they're going to get a supoena and they're going to say fuck you, and shoot the issuing judge ? [09:24]
mircea_popescu: see also http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-enforcement/ [09:25]
mircea_popescu: that's the whole point : that until and unless ~we~ actulaly do a thing, all the other things are EXACTLY all the same. [09:25]
mircea_popescu: or, as the classical expression goes, vanitas vanitatum. [09:26]
mircea_popescu: (and yes, the classical imprecation to not build yourself fortunes/castles/a life atop the vanities of the fiat world but instead collect your fortune, house and life in the WoT stands quite exactly.) [09:29]
mircea_popescu: that's the ultimate meaning of all the christian blundering to date : they were trying to build the republic and had nfi. [09:29]
Framedragger: fair enough. but i also tell you that there are hosting providers which say fuck you to LE of specific states but ultimately it boils down to the same security question: "how important are you?" - if you're important enough then sentimentalities of sysadmins will be ignored. [09:31]
mircea_popescu: and there are wolves that don't eat your sheep. nice. [09:32]
mircea_popescu: if you're important enough then sentimentalities of sysadmins will be ignored. << this, incidentally, isn't a matter of neglect it is a matter of design. consider it works exactly as a sort of "training for unimportance". [10:00]
mircea_popescu: whole matter ties right into why i do not consider anonymity a valid approach. [10:01]
mircea_popescu: otherwise, if you go by this currently fashionable "i'll aim to be nobody and call it privacy and to do nothing worth the mention and call it security", the only certainty is that you'll be nobody and have done nothing, which is exactly the fucking purpose of the socialist state - death in your time. [10:02]
mircea_popescu: the correct, if obviously harder, path is to be someone AND do something. and if they bitch, escalate, indefinitely. [10:03]
mircea_popescu: odds are you'll get killed but the only certainty is the socialist state won't survive. [10:03]
Framedragger: yeah. i mean one day i'll grow balls and get out of my comfort zone of sorta-pseudo-anonymity. your points are valid here, even though i think it's possible to do useful/productive work under pseudo/anonymity. this doesn't work if you require the *world* to recognize your awesomeness, of course :) [10:10]
Framedragger: but it's possible to maintain stable pseudo identities in groups of people wherein those identities are recognized for what they do etc etc. [10:10]
mircea_popescu: sure this says nothing of pseudonymity. [10:16]
BingoBoingo: Framedragger: Pseudonymity is different. You ARE the pseudonym. [10:17]
mircea_popescu: all "identity" is pseudonimity/ [10:18]
Framedragger: hm, yeah. [10:18]
Framedragger: right you are i was mixing the terms to further my point [10:18]
Framedragger: true anonymity kinda sux in terms of achievement. [10:18]
mircea_popescu: see, but any construction of identity in terms other than pseudonimity (such as, "issuing" of "id" as opposed to generating rsa key) is merely a ploy by the socialist state, designed specifically to introduce a red herring in the conversation. [10:19]
Framedragger: s/achievement/just getting things done/ [10:19]
Framedragger: designed to introduce an external implicit trust node [10:19]
Framedragger: right. [10:19]
mircea_popescu: they aim to misrepresent the pseudonimity-anonimity debate as governmentidentity-anonimity, and thus change the result. [10:19]
mircea_popescu: much like when they want obama to win, they propose a contest between obama and another identical fucktard, rather than between obama and someone who isn't a system fucktard. [10:20]
mircea_popescu: Framedragger there's some minimal gains via anonimous systems (see the whole anon/loic/times man of the year/blabla stuff). it is juvenile. [10:21]
mircea_popescu: it is in fact right and proper for the juvenile to be anon and then graduate to wot. [10:21]

mircea_popescu: 1, police state plaza, new york ? [11:26]

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nothing fantastic, usg lawyer is not 'liberal profession' but a type of clerk. [11:30]
asciilifeform: they are legion. [11:30]
mircea_popescu: hm ? [11:30]
asciilifeform: sorta like police judge's relation to actual judgw [11:31]
asciilifeform: *judge [11:31]
mircea_popescu: note that it also misses pretty much everyting : the badge/id number of responsible agent is missing, there's no direct contact phone, etc. [11:33]
asciilifeform: isn't that an elementary part of mircea_popescu's observation re 'usg corporate shield that you must break and re-personalize the interaction' [11:33]
asciilifeform: naturally policeman doesn't introduce himself by name [11:34]
mircea_popescu: but he is required to do so by law an' regulation. [11:34]
asciilifeform: consider how when they break down a door, they wear masks [11:34]
asciilifeform: like any other bandit. [11:34]
asciilifeform: like stereotypical executioner [11:34]
mircea_popescu: otherwise... a piece of pdf reading "supoena" is not distinguishable or to be distinguished from an email reading "you have won the google intel microsoft award" [11:34]
mircea_popescu: and the policy is to shoot masked people breaking down doors. [11:34]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the idea is that it is distinguished by the crashing sound as 50 heavily armed bandits break in [11:35]
mircea_popescu: like any other bandit. [11:35]
asciilifeform: shoot, shoot [11:35]
asciilifeform: (imho you will get better mileage with high explosive, and ~same chance of survival) [11:35]
mircea_popescu: point security measure left at the discretion of point sovereign. [11:36]
asciilifeform: sure. [11:38]
mircea_popescu: also, ro policement at least do introduce self by name. [11:40]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: usa police have 2 basic modes of operation [11:41]
asciilifeform: one is the kind with the masks and smoke grenades [11:41]
asciilifeform: and no introductions. [11:41]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There's the action you are forgetting when you casually meet the on the street and bitch about Obama together over cigarettes. [11:56]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: didja miss the 'don't talk to cops!111' memo. [11:58]
BingoBoingo: How else do you find out why the closed the road you wanted to take other than by asking them. [12:00]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: where i live they will reply with grunts, like the soldiers in 'wolfenstein'. [12:01]
BingoBoingo: Well don't live there. Maybe try asking Chicago cop which where you get the best hotdogs in town? Throw out how you think this just might be the Cubs year to win it all. Chances are he'll talk like a person and leak intel. [12:03]
BingoBoingo: That or abduct you to their blacksite. Chicago PD can be unpredictable. [12:03]

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what do visit there? corn ? [12:11]
asciilifeform: i suppose i could have tea with BingoBoingo [12:11]
asciilifeform: but what else. [12:11]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Smaller cities like St Louis, Kansas City, Milwauke, and yes the corn. [12:11]
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: "talking to cops" is not "drinking with cops" [12:14]
mod6: anyone wanna help me test the cmd line version of t.pl? [12:19]
mod6: oh nevermind, i think shinohai has it covered. totally didn't see that. [12:20]
* asciilifeform misread as 'talking to corn' [12:24]
* asciilifeform not yet ready for talking to corn [12:24]
trinque: but asciilifeform... they're all ears [12:24]
* trinque takes his demerit [12:25]
asciilifeform: i oughta ask adlai what pill to take so that the corn will ~listen~. [12:25]
shinohai: Corn is a good listener imo [12:26]
asciilifeform: anyway i like ~actual cities~ [12:27]
mod6: so I think, hopefully sometime today, i'll send out t.pl to the ML as is - however i don't really expect anyone to use t.pl themselves. sending it to the ML for more of posterity purposes. [12:27]
mod6: people will be expected to interact {add,edit,remove,view} tickets through tbot - which is probably .. eh, 70% complete. [12:28]
mod6: maybe 80%. [12:28]
shinohai: Can i break it again? :D [12:28]
ben_vulpes: trinque: lol [12:29]
mod6: shinohai: heh, hopefully by the time we're done there it'll hold together. [12:31]
mod6: we're pretty close to the first testing of it in here -- have some loose ends to tie up (the remaining ~20%). if history is any guide, there will be more to do as change requests, etc. but at least we'll have somethign that works. [12:34]

mircea_popescu: the derpy "watch a video for bitcoin" thing is just what you'd expect out of usgistan. meanwhile, a irc-bot driven client that does ethernet and computation, and charges for these would be pretty sweet. [15:42]
trinque: yeah that's coming. [15:42]
trinque: vc: relatedly, how much for a box [15:42]
mircea_popescu: basically, imagine a future where everyone who wants to (or doesn't care/know enough to not want to) runs the tmsr-bot, which registers its prices with deedbot, and then i can go !bot <order> and deedbot parcels it out to the bots it knows, and reports the rersults when done.

vc: I am not linode ) [15:45]
trinque: idgaf about the price [15:45]
mircea_popescu: i take it he got a single colo'd box imagining the market in terms of "shared server" derps and then ran into tmsr and everyone wants whole boxes and phuctor runs on a 256gb monster. [15:45]

vc: and my parent host, flokinet, is based out of iceland [15:47]
mircea_popescu: but they have no iceland servers ?! [15:47]
vc: no they do, they are just very very expensive [15:47]
vc: the bandwidth, specifically [15:47]
mircea_popescu: a, there is that. [15:47]
mircea_popescu: iceland infrastructure is kinda meh. they peer with britain-the-shithole and that's that. [15:48]
trinque: https://www.datacell.is << "All our hosting packages include unrestricted bandwidth and 100 Gigabytes of data traffic. Dedicated bandwidth is also available on request." [15:56]
trinque: I'm gonna reach out to them for a quote [15:56]
mircea_popescu: uh. wtf "100 gb of data traffic" what's that even mean [15:56]
trinque: no idea [15:56]
trinque: seems to contradict itself [15:57]
trinque: 100gb of unrestricted traffic restricted to 100gb [15:57]
mircea_popescu: i bet you what they mean is, they allow "any" burst, (ie, they got some slack in the routers, so you can concievably get 100mbps or such), but they literally meter the bg to .1 tb/month [15:57]
mircea_popescu: ie, if i ran trilema from there i'd need 10 packages. [15:58]
trinque: yeah [15:58]
mircea_popescu: well wtf is this, a cellphone or a server ? [15:58]
mircea_popescu: (ftr, most major device gamers burn more than 100gb/month in data a good game can well go over the gb just to install, and the churn is massive, i think the dedicated azn shrimp goes through 10k a month or some such shit) [15:59]

mod6: yeah! man, phesant is excellent. [19:58]
mod6: BingoBoingo: yeah. for now, just learning. was actually thinking, while getting drenched, if I can find a place to start from seeds & get appropriate sun, would do it. [19:58]
mod6: a little short on space for that. :/ [19:58]
mod6: but ~maybe~ next year. [19:58]
BingoBoingo: What about where you put the plants from big greenhouse? [19:59]

shinohai: *germinate [19:59]
mod6: i dunno, i guess i could. my understanding was that most of these greenhouses start the seeds in like march time-frame. but maybe i'm way off there. [20:00]
mod6: i've seen it snow here on June 1st before. [20:00]
mod6: in your fridge?! [20:00]
mod6: huh. i'll have to do that next year and see how it goes. [20:00]
mod6: i think the real trick is to collect the seeds from the plants. [20:00]
shinohai: Yeah soak those fuckers then trick seeds into thinking spring [20:01]
mod6: not sure exactly how to do that on some of them. like tomatoes and cukes are obvious, but what about the cabbabe and dill, etc? [20:01]
mod6: shinohai: aight, cool. will give that a shot next year. [20:01]
BingoBoingo: Just get some jiffy pots and put the seeds in the window sill them? [20:01]
mod6: that's the one problem. not a lot of window-sill real-estate for that shit. plus: cats. [20:02]
