14:16 gregorynyssa http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-04-20#1034263 << I received that message as well from "dpb."
14:16 snsabot Logged on 2021-04-20 17:00:54 verisimilitude: I recall one fellow here sending me a private message about avoiding Hell and whatnot.
14:17 gregorynyssa Protestant Reformation had four branches (Lutheran, Calvinist, Anglican, and Anabaptist) but almost all American-style Protestantism is based on the fourth.
14:17 asciilifeform gregorynyssa: subj.
14:20 gregorynyssa even most Calvinists in America are, in reality, Baptists (Anabaptists) with Calvinist characteristics.
14:21 * asciilifeform can't recall ever meeting a troo hardcore 'predestined' calvinist
14:22 thimbronion I did, this guy: https://twitter.com/JWWeatherman_
14:23 thimbronion He's been exiled from the twitter bitoin influencer community for criticizing their HW wallet idiocy.
14:24 thimbronion These "Bitcoin Maximalists" are out there rocking Casa HODL and Cold Card.
14:25 gregorynyssa thimbronion: asciilifeform: so HW wallets are bad?
14:25 thimbronion gregorynyssa: yes.
14:26 asciilifeform gregorynyssa: unless you know how to ecdsa/ripemd/etc in yer head, ~all~ wallets are 'hard'
14:26 asciilifeform gregorynyssa: or is q specifically re particular gadget marketed as 'wallet' ?
14:28 * asciilifeform recalls in ye olde #t there was a thread erry yr or so, re 'wallets' ; erry linked example had either 'mystery meat' design, i.e. closed, or known rubbish trng; and all of'em required prb on pc end to function..
14:28 gregorynyssa asciilifeform: I am talking about the gadget. like Trezor or Ledger.
14:28 asciilifeform gregorynyssa: see above.
14:29 asciilifeform e.g.
14:29 gregorynyssa asciilifeform: fair points.
14:29 shinohai Ledger is no-go simply because ordering one likely to get you doxxed.
14:29 asciilifeform shinohai: elaborate?
14:29 shinohai (But what asciilifeform says is troo, most require prb/electrum etc to operate.)
14:30 shinohai asciilifeform: Ledger got all their customer info leaked to "tormarkets" users are now being inundated with BTC ransom demands lest "we come to yer house to attack you and family"
14:32 asciilifeform maybe also they will put voodoo curse on you? as far as annoyances go, this'd have to be somewhere near bottom of the list of reasons to eschew $subj
14:34 shinohai Well they could voodoo-shrink my dick then the girls would go back to Colombia and I'd have to get subpar hippos to do shit around here like MP.
14:35 asciilifeform lol
14:35 * asciilifeform never grasped 'doxing' etc. on his www is his human name, and who wants to can easily find in meatspace.
14:36 asciilifeform however never tried 'ledger', 'trezor', etc. given as these all have asinine design which requires a pc with prb. defeating the entire nominal purpose of the box.
14:36 * asciilifeform bbl.
14:36 gregorynyssa asciilifeform: modern culture (esp. American) has a tendency to view "harassment" as a crime on par with rape.
14:39 thimbronion There is this anarcho-tyranny thing going on right now.
14:40 thimbronion Media unpersons you, doxes you, then schizos or BLM show up at your door and finish the job.
14:43 gregorynyssa thimbronion: do you think this will get worse as Biden presidency goes on?
14:45 thimbronion only for prominent figures
~ 43 minutes ~
15:28 asciilifeform thimbronion: why is it that asciilifeform can't name even 1 such 'finished' ?
15:29 asciilifeform the only possible candidate that comes to mind is ian murdoch (debian), possibly beaten to death in police station and called 'suicide'. but that was last decade.
15:39 asciilifeform ... it's lulzy, i can't name even 1 proven case of 'media unpersoned, then lynched' ; but have spoken with what must be two dozen folx quaking in their boots re subj
15:39 asciilifeform 'coward dies a thousand deaths'
~ 36 minutes ~
16:15 verisimilitude We're fairly obscure, but there's a real risk of the US media telling the negroes to kill someone.
16:16 verisimilitude There was that teenager CNN threatened.
16:16 asciilifeform verisimilitude: what to you means phrase 'real risk' ? is e.g. ufo abduction, also 'a real risk' ?
16:17 verisimilitude It's wishful thinking, but sure.
16:17 asciilifeform verisimilitude: it's ego masturbation, is what it is. neither you nor i will ever so much as meet anyone worthy of 'napalm from helicopter' or even any cheaper usg hit; much less merit personally
16:18 verisimilitude Anyway, I'll just hide my name until I don't feel I'm not harming myself otherwise; the present never seems a good time.
16:18 verisimilitude Where's the harm in some masturbation?
16:20 verisimilitude Also, there was that drama involving that blog and the NYT.
16:20 asciilifeform verisimilitude: none, so long as you realize it's what yer doing. and accept the cost (e.g. on my www is name, pgp key, and result is... lynching? nope, instead moar offers of work than i know what to do with)
16:22 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-04-21#1034336 << >> see also.
16:22 snsabot Logged on 2021-04-21 16:20:11 verisimilitude: Also, there was that drama involving that blog and the NYT.
16:22 snsabot Logged on 2020-06-23 12:41:34 asciilifeform: thimbronion: fella was an obnoxious establishment tool, and imho even now 'made own bed' :
16:26 asciilifeform and also.
16:26 snsabot Logged on 2021-01-21 16:36:19 asciilifeform: to the point where they created entire synthetic 'astroturf' subculture pushing 'benefits of anonymity' etc
16:26 snsabot Logged on 2020-06-23 13:35:08 asciilifeform: folx who fixate on 'anonism' are wanking on 'mania of grandeur' imho
~ 2 hours 39 minutes ~
19:06 verisimilitude I can't use Tor effectively right now, due to multiple hardware failures, so I stopped worrying about it for now.
19:06 asciilifeform verisimilitude: 1st small step to complete cure.
19:07 verisimilitude I've long recognized sending most of my traffic over Tor is unnecessary, but I still do it when it's easy.
19:08 asciilifeform oblig thrd
19:09 asciilifeform ( and also on subj. )
