04:34 Framedragger hence in effect, bob would control john's domain. hierarchy is baked into dns root.
04:35 Framedragger this is fine as long as it's made clear in regards to ownership etc.; but it does put some additional responsibility / ontological charge(?) onto folks who'd own a TLD

07:27 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-14#1566990 << there is no such thing as "tld". there's just strings. if you query r-dns for "fucksgoats" you get ip for "fucksgoats". if you query for "hurrdurr.fuckgoats" you get ip for "hurrdurr.fucksgoats". if you query for "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" you get ip for "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6".

07:28 mircea_popescu it is up to your client to decide if the domain "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" should be queried as "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" or "OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" or ".." or "nasa.org" or whatnot. dns just answers queries, and nothing else.
07:28 Framedragger mircea_popescu: this implies that there's basically a single dns server, though. it does not delegate to other dns servers, like what we have now
07:29 mircea_popescu it doesn't "delegate", it caches. you know, like in sanity land, as opposed to some bs hacked together by people who didn't go to school for cs 30 yearsd ago.
07:29 Framedragger (i mean, there could be caching servers, but they'd have to have the same up to date map of all strings to IPs.)
07:29 Framedragger caching != delegation in dns, afaik.
07:29 mircea_popescu they would have to be "the same" and "up to date" in the sense of dns "give it a day".
07:29 mircea_popescu hurr.
07:29 mircea_popescu of course not, but this because dns is broken.
07:29 Framedragger delegate = "i don't know about this, but this guy does. ask him"
07:32 mircea_popescu also note that nothing in the discussed scheme prevents you from doing delegation. yiu can just decide to split on the basis of the last character ; or the last two.
07:32 mircea_popescu it just correctly orthogonalizes the matter of delegation, which is dns internal cooking, and not the client's business.
07:33 mircea_popescu there's no reason ~you~ should know aforehand what the dns servers will tell you to ask if you look for "string containing substring x" ; and the fact that you DO know who to ask for ".com" is just another sign of the above "some bs hacked together by people who didn't go to school for cs 30 yearsd ago"
07:33 Framedragger hmm. i'm still not sure if your scheme does not require additional customization of dns server software (bind/unbound/whatever). i mean, if it does, so be it.
07:34 mircea_popescu it probably does because current dns software was written by goatfuckers.
07:34 mircea_popescu and we're not playing the "bug for bug compatible" game.
07:35 Framedragger there is a nuance: if lotsa customization is needed, perhaps time/energy is better spent on gossipd. a logistical question i guess.
07:36 mircea_popescu this thing and gossipd are parallel anyway.
07:36 mircea_popescu also, the customization is the job of the client not of the server. "you wanna use this - here's the standard" suffices.
07:36 Framedragger to an extent, i would say, no? in gossipd, user would have their own "hosts" file, mapping mircea_popescu to $fingerprint or w/e
07:37 mircea_popescu i suppose, but that part wouldn't be the first to relate. the part that'd first to relate is that you gotta talk to these servers to admin your strings. and well... talk over... what.
07:38 mircea_popescu moreover, how do you handle splits ? maybe "trilema.com" should be owned by mp in mp's shadow and by whoever in some other space.
07:39 mircea_popescu there is EXACTLY ONE solution to "zooko's triangle" - and it is called gossipd. it works by crushing the socialist mind and its foul expectation of "any person is any person". not fucking so.
07:39 mircea_popescu people aren't strings.
07:40 Framedragger so yeah, running a republican dns root would still imply "collaborating" with current internet infrastructure. reform, not revolution. something like, in those tmsr ISP discussion, someone e.g suggesting to acquire an autonomous system number for tmsr. "is it even worth it."
07:40 mircea_popescu i'm sorry ?
07:40 Framedragger low on sugar, broken english
07:40 mircea_popescu try again.
07:41 mircea_popescu and of course we managed this situation where half the conversation is here hjalf on trilema to maximally confuse the future interested party. ALL BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HAVE THE PATIENCE TO GET ANSWER THERE!111
07:42 Framedragger the whole "patch a DNS server and run alternative root" effort sounds interesting and useful, but, as you said, eventually the underlying layer would need to swapped for gossipd anyway. in gossipd, UDP/TCP as currently used by DNS may not even work. hence there may be a redundancy of effort;
07:42 mircea_popescu "but that part wouldn't be the first to relate. the part that'd first to relate is that you gotta talk to these servers to admin your strings"
07:42 Framedragger and maybe it's worth to focus on gossipd first. but i see what you're saying regarding these two things being parallel. i guess.
07:43 mircea_popescu at first, gossipd replaces the current "talk to servers to admin your strings" which happens, essentially, over substitute-email and http-sessions.
07:43 Framedragger mircea_popescu: my excuse is, i don't feel like i have enough original content to keep spamming your comments box. what can i say. such self esteem
07:44 Framedragger right.
07:44 mircea_popescu it's a typical disaster of commons of the republican era - the needs and interests of people not here yet figure a lot less in the eyes of the present man than his immediate pulsion of lowest order. and in 10 years the choices so made become written in stone and the poor schmucks pay for them. it's sad but unsolvable.
07:44 Framedragger and, i suppose, republican dns server could work in a way that already facilitates session-less communication - pgprams issuing orders to change zone files, etc.
07:44 mircea_popescu the OTHER disaster of commons of the republican era is discussed on trilema re "you can't decide what's worth doing", if you recall that footnote.
07:45 mircea_popescu Framedragger yes, but communicatin by sending pgpgrams is already a simplified gossipd is the point.
07:45 mircea_popescu hand-cranked, arbitrary, etc. but still it is it.
07:46 Framedragger yes indeed; and now i see that maybe there wouldn't be too much of a redundancy there - that is, when gossipd arrives, dns server could still accept pgprams, they'd simply come via gossipd - and the latter may even sit behind an abstracted network interface, etc.
07:47 mircea_popescu quite exactly.
07:47 mircea_popescu we've been amply using this "alternate leg" climbing method to build towers.
07:47 Framedragger okay, i'm less confused now
07:47 Framedragger rather ingenious if i may say so!
07:48 mircea_popescu yeah, what can i tell you, as ingenious as walk. 10s of ks of years old.
07:53 Framedragger i wonder if a simpler key-value store wouldn't work as a replacement for dns server. "flatten" the whole thing, so that, as you say, dns server wouldn't distinguish between types of substrings. the latter would be up to the client, if it willed to do so.
07:53 mircea_popescu and here i thought i said just that
07:53 Framedragger caching could be easily done, too
07:53 Framedragger argh.
07:54 Framedragger up until this point i thought that the idea would be to use an existing dns server, for sake of ease
07:54 mircea_popescu what did you take http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-14#1567006 to mean ? (it being the 3rd or so pass at this)
07:54 a111 Logged on 2016-11-14 12:27 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-14#1566990 << there is no such thing as "tld". there's just strings. if you query r-dns for "fucksgoats" you get ip for "fucksgoats". if you query for "hurrdurr.fuckgoats" you get ip for "hurrdurr.fucksgoats". if you query for "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" you get ip for "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6".
07:54 Framedragger the administration / record-updating would be a separate layer in any case.
07:54 mircea_popescu shows you the power of bias / mental fixation i guess ?
07:55 Framedragger ah, "r-dns" is republican dns. not reverse dns or sth like that. more clear
07:55 mircea_popescu and holy shit no you don't want to reuse dns server code oh my fucking god.
07:55 mircea_popescu have you SEEN that shit ?!
07:55 Framedragger mircea_popescu: thanks for bearing with me. yes, fixation.
07:55 Framedragger well, BIND is.. not vulernability-impaired. lots of fleas. and code quality - can only imagine
07:56 Framedragger openssl vibes.
07:56 Framedragger right.
07:56 Framedragger mircea_popescu: you'd still want r-dns to be able to serve existing dns clients though, right? i mean, things like `nslookup`, dns resolution libraries, etc - the current dns protocol? or no?
07:56 mircea_popescu ideally.
07:57 mircea_popescu but if a patch is required then that's fine too.
07:58 mircea_popescu (likely the patch will come in the shape of a dnsmasq clone, which will handle stuff like "tld" as well as things like http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-12#1566482 via settings etc)
07:58 a111 Logged on 2016-11-12 15:50 mircea_popescu: set up your client to pick two-of-three, give it 1 republic and 2 reich servers. it'll give you republic for all the things reich doesn't know and reich for stuff like apple.com

08:21 Framedragger oh god. dns is defined using a shitload of RFCs. but easiest way to learn of low-level transport nuances is, well, wireshark. so, wiresharking and eating cake. at the very least this will end up as (possibly) useful website comment for future adventurers.
08:22 Framedragger what is nice is that the dns transport itself is quite elegant - questions/answers - one packet for query, another for answer. so transport is (in principle) compatible with session-less gossipd model, i think.
08:29 mircea_popescu aha
08:30 mircea_popescu is it delicious cake or just ordinary cake ?
08:31 Framedragger mircea_popescu: i'm curious, do you currently manually add entries to your hosts file? wireshark shows so much gunk flying around. like, i've got ad blockers and everything, but still lotsa facebook dns requests all around, etc.
08:32 Framedragger quite delicious! mississippi mud pie. oreo base, brownie-esk filling. amateur-made (office tradition), but very much acceptabru.
08:32 mircea_popescu good for you!
08:32 mircea_popescu Framedragger yes, i add names manually. i see jackshit flying around lol.

10:54 mircea_popescu asciilifeform how do you mean it had 0 to do with 8ball ? it went because known factors not because paired with something neh ?
10:55 mircea_popescu when mod pops when submitted, it's always the 8ball
10:55 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: nope. 8ball is a 'primorial', it's this process that's been going 2*3*5*7*........... for months
10:55 asciilifeform this number gets thrown into the hopper every time phuctor fires
10:56 mircea_popescu right...
10:56 asciilifeform it nails moduli with 'small' factors.
10:56 mircea_popescu it doesn't also contain all other factors found ?
10:56 asciilifeform nope, that's not how bernstein's algo worx
10:56 mircea_popescu well it's what i meant.
10:56 asciilifeform it does not rely on writing down the formerly found factors
10:56 asciilifeform but operates on all moduli at once, every time it fires.
10:57 mircea_popescu s/8ball/bernstein/
10:57 asciilifeform this recent find is an excellent illustration, it shared the factor solely with own subkeys

10:58 mircea_popescu ic.
10:58 asciilifeform (does not appear to be of any special form, in so far as i can presently tell, but is in fact prime by every test i've tried)
10:58 mircea_popescu so if this is some "expert" hardware that does this stupid shit, we'll be seeing it again.
10:58 asciilifeform so it had in fact come out of something resembling a battlefield pgptron.
10:59 asciilifeform no flipped bits or similar.
10:59 mircea_popescu aha.
10:59 mircea_popescu i think ima actually write a short qntra re this, thinking about it.
10:59 asciilifeform i will add that the thing does not appear to reside on sks, though other items advertised as 'seclab' -- are

13:20 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: lol, did a double-take on the dood in the back
13:23 ben_vulpes Framedragger: happy to hand mine over, but vvande has deeper logs and will share them with you for the asking
13:23 ben_vulpes anyways, opennic project is ~dead, with remaining maggots deeply allergic to republican notions.
13:24 ben_vulpes i suspect that i knocked their local usg rep into 'tilt mode' last night
13:24 Framedragger thanks much ben_vulpes. guess i'm good for now
13:24 Framedragger heh. :)
13:25 ben_vulpes "gossipd? what dat. have you ever heard of i2p? what's an ethernet frame? shortwave?"
13:26 Framedragger well you cant fault them for not having heard of gossipd. (cue everyone: YES YOU CAN). re. i2p, well its an interesting project. but - doomed.

14:37 mircea_popescu and, of course, 2000s vintage imperial lulz https://archive.is/g9O6H
14:40 mircea_popescu (note that they quite exactly identify the exact reason gossipd makes empire impossible : "In the case of a public communications system this condition of a common symbol set with a common semantic interpretation must be further strengthened to that of a unique symbol set with a unique semantic interpretation. This condition of uniqueness allows any party to initiate a communication that can be received and understood by any
14:40 mircea_popescu other party. Such a condition rules out the ability to define a symbol within some bounded context. In such a case, once the communication moves out of the context of interpretation in which it was defined, the meaning of the symbol becomes lost."
14:42 mircea_popescu they built usg in not for any reason than because they WERE usg. postel's "oh noes - otherwise CHAOS" is exactly symptomatic. just like the arab mind can't quite comprehend how one who doesn't give a shit about allah may manage to drink from a cup, just so usgtards can't comprehend how one who isn't a socialist can at all live.
14:42 mircea_popescu "but without our stupid bigotry there'd be CHAOS!!11". yeah, i'm sure there would be. for you.
14:44 mircea_popescu "this is a technical requirement, not a policy choice" - fancy that wonder. what else is "not a policy choice" ?
14:48 mircea_popescu and of course, the capper : "This memo does not introduce any new security issues, but it does attempt to identify some of the problems inherent in a family of recurring technically naive proposals."
14:48 mircea_popescu because what the fuck else would crown the retard more than the pretense that he's some sort of misunderstood genius, and his betters "naive" ?

16:25 asciilifeform apparently i read bacwards nm.
16:28 asciilifeform re ealier, i have nfi whether herr nordholz is telling truth or nein.
16:29 asciilifeform so the matter will rest there.
16:29 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i answered him.
16:29 asciilifeform aah
16:29 * asciilifeform reads
16:29 mircea_popescu i have no fucking idea where these shitheads think they're shoping for condescension, or why the fuck the 2nd hand peddler failed to inform them that i got exponentially more than available on the market at my ready disposal.
16:30 mircea_popescu anyway, apparently today in "nice story, bro" we have a "students are required as part of curricula to run 10^10 "eulers". because totally, nobody can do any math anywhere.
16:31 asciilifeform he said (11*10)/2 neh ?
16:31 asciilifeform i.e. 55.
16:31 mircea_popescu he also said "euclids", i thought we were just doing keyboard mashing.
16:32 asciilifeform euclids, i.e. gcd, presumably
16:32 mircea_popescu sure sure.
16:32 asciilifeform i have nfi, i did ping the d00d via email so as to rub nose in qntra thread, that's all for my end
16:32 mircea_popescu aha. good enough.

16:48 mircea_popescu i suppose if nothing else - zee germanz have now verified that indeed, the phuctor is actually connected and works as described.
16:48 asciilifeform as if it were a mega-mystery earlier.
16:49 mircea_popescu in the land of the hanno bocks (ie, http://trilema.com/2016/psa-hanno-bock-still-a-deceitful-shitbag/ ) it is probably as unbelievable as it gets.

16:51 mircea_popescu aww but why!
16:51 asciilifeform (sorry d00dz, it dun work, there is no php teenager in the mix)
16:51 mircea_popescu actually i suppose hijacking phuctor is a reasonably valuable thing now, get people to shit pants that their key's haxxed.
16:54 asciilifeform i suppose walking away with the box cost'em actual moneys last time, and budget was spent on schnapps, or the like.
16:55 asciilifeform btw d00dz who read 'p divides N...' and dun bother to go and, well, divide it, deserve to be tricked.
16:55 asciilifeform it takes maybe 3 seconds to verify whether a page on phuctor is fact or not.

17:08 mircea_popescu in other lulz, the socialist retards (preaching over at huff po) : "My point is that this is a cycle. It happens again and again, but as most people only have a 50-100 year historical perspective they donย’t see that itย’s happening again. As the events that led to the First World War unfolded, there were a few brilliant minds who started to warn that something big was wrong, that the web of treaties across Europe could lea
17:08 mircea_popescu d to a war, but they were dismissed as hysterical, mad, or fools, as is always the way, and as people who worry about Putin, Brexit and Trump are dismissed now. A little thing leads to an unstoppable destruction that could have been prevented if youย’d listened and thought a bit."
17:09 mircea_popescu yes, motherfucker. this is exactly it : your continued existence is offensive. either you desist, forget this "social justice" nonsense ever existed, and EVERYTHING to do with it - or else YOU will have started a war, with YOUR idiocy.
17:09 mircea_popescu so yes - is your own tail and the avoidance of your own fucking holocaust worth stopping and thinking a bit ?
17:10 asciilifeform they learned 0 from the last one.
17:10 mircea_popescu maybe it's time to apologize for making up bullshit and calling it "global warming" ? maybe its time to cut off your balls and cut off your keyboard fingers ? maybe ?
17:10 mircea_popescu asciilifeform all the better then. honestly i prefer bloodshed to contrite tears.
17:11 asciilifeform they learned 0, because 'thief is never sorry, only sorry that he was caught'
17:11 mircea_popescu quite so, apparently the humanist's notion that he speaks for humanity is the sweetest delusion of all.
17:17 asciilifeform one unfortunate bit is that afaik the gambit they used to stay alive last time, will work again -- a kilometre-thick ablative coating of nobodies to catch the gas
17:18 asciilifeform while soros, rothchilds, etc. escape and make next generation of 'reality makers'
17:19 mircea_popescu pshhh.
17:20 mircea_popescu this is sloppy thinker - soros was a poor nobody, there's no bloodline there ; and the lulz of the mystical-rotschilds is periodically debunked every time you bring it up.
17:20 asciilifeform lower-case r rothchilds!11111
17:20 mircea_popescu this is retrospective naming, the historical equivalent of wtf they call that graph worshippinbg bs
17:20 asciilifeform and rumour is that , iirc, son of soros marries into clintons
17:20 asciilifeform anyway the physical location of hitler is a q above my paygrade.

17:39 ben_vulpes well then it sounds lovely
17:39 vvande It's a pretty democratic place, but it being stirred up a bit in recent years.
17:40 vvande Not so democratic here in Canada. We're pretty far right, in fact.
17:41 vvande Anyway, I'll go look at that key thing. Seems easy enough to generate, but I should have a think about it.
17:42 ben_vulpes no expiration date, don't forget the passphrase
17:42 vvande ok, figured that so far
17:43 vvande I havent used keys before. Should I make it "sign and encrypt"?
17:43 ben_vulpes mhm
17:44 ben_vulpes keep it simple
17:44 vvande OK. I just want to make sure I don't cause trouble later.
17:44 vvande Can i have different keys?
17:44 vvande like just do one for here, for now?
17:44 ben_vulpes in gpg, yes. in deedbot, no.
17:44 ben_vulpes keys map 1:1 with identities here.
17:45 vvande gpg is already installed - running FreeBSD
17:45 ben_vulpes changing them is politically fraught.
17:45 vvande well, I won't be using it a lot until I get more into it
17:45 vvande So, OK. I'm off to do that. And ...

20:23 mircea_popescu (in ww2, the worst marksman always got the flamethrower. worst job, shit's heavy, you gotta get close etc)
20:24 mircea_popescu asciilifeform propane my foot. plasticated gasoline mix what is this.
20:24 asciilifeform bonus for using it british-style : douse 1,001 derps, then ask 'why not light match?'
20:25 asciilifeform let them say why not.
20:25 asciilifeform and make it known that if you see cop - will flick bic.
20:26 mircea_popescu after all flame front is supersonic in atmosphere
20:26 mod6 <+mircea_popescu> (in ww2, the worst marksman always got the flamethrower. worst job, shit's heavy, you gotta get close etc) << oh no doubt. that's a rough job. like having a damn bomb on your back. next as bad is probably the radio guy.
20:27 mod6 (radio guy has antenne sticking up, easy target.)
20:28 mircea_popescu iirc radio guy was favoritism spot, because you get to go into bunker / safer position / next to co
20:29 mod6 well, prolly each squad/platoon has one in the forward position, relaying stuff back to other radio guy next to co in bunker. but, ya.
20:29 asciilifeform dunno re elsewhere, but in su army it was a mixed bag, co was expected to shoot radioman if the latter is at risk of capture (e.g., injured & down)
20:30 mircea_popescu i dun think they did this on the allied side.
20:30 asciilifeform possibly because did not much bother with field crypto there
20:31 mircea_popescu mod6 i dunno that as late as vietnam they had that many forwards like that. generally even the artillery reporters were small squad with co machine gun 3-4 rifles etc
20:32 mod6 ah, yah perhaps.
20:33 mircea_popescu (most of vietnam cinematic footage is one of these artillery reporter squads. works well for the needs of the camera.)
20:35 mod6 <+asciilifeform> dunno re elsewhere, but in su army it was a mixed bag, co was expected to shoot radioman if the latter is at risk of capture (e.g., injured & down) << did the su radio guys have all the otp's for the day there with him or what not?
20:36 mircea_popescu i expect.
20:36 mircea_popescu truth be told the anglos had this "crypto dun werk" outlook throughout.
20:36 asciilifeform mod6: nah, they tended to use barbarisms where the man has a code in memory
20:36 mircea_popescu no otp ?!
20:36 asciilifeform incl. his 'morse fist'
20:37 mod6 i gotta dig this up
20:37 asciilifeform when captured, would be made to 'funkspiel' with his characteristic style
20:37 asciilifeform ergo had to be shot.
20:37 mod6 ooh.
20:39 mod6 so the 'morse fist' was a guys ability to send error free and 'style' of the transmission of the message
20:39 asciilifeform iirc 'fist' is what engl.speaking folk called morse 'handwriting' in those times.
20:40 mod6 i see
20:40 mircea_popescu mod6 you know how morse goes, every op has specific timings.
20:40 mircea_popescu !!up Test
20:40 deedbot Test voiced for 30 minutes.
20:41 mod6 mircea_popescu: yah, that makes sense.
20:44 mircea_popescu that strange feeling when bing returns trilema for img search for "check your privilege shitlord".
20:44 mircea_popescu i had no fucking idea anyone actually uses bing.
20:44 asciilifeform wasn't it made default in firefox when the latter was colonized?
20:45 mircea_popescu o was it ?
20:45 asciilifeform (it also silently replaced 'yahoo search' some years ago)
20:45 mircea_popescu no that also still exists.
20:46 mircea_popescu there's also, i kid you not, Microsoft MSN Search
20:46 mircea_popescu i even get hits from excite, but i figure that's gotta be a joke.
20:53 mircea_popescu oh and to round off the lulz, http://trilema.com/administrator/components/com_jnewsletter/includes/openflashchart/php-ofc-library/ofc_upload_image.php?name=magic.php and http://trilema.com/components/com_jnews/includes/openflashchart/php-ofc-library/ofc_upload_image.php?name=magic.php.pHp because ofcourse.
21:06 mod6 ah yes. i recall these.
21:07 mod6 i heard nz got hit hard again yesterday
21:07 mircea_popescu wait what ?
21:08 mod6 ah, earthquake in nz ~ yesterday
21:08 mod6 people were talkin about it
21:08 asciilifeform https://archive.is/v3wgy << in even other lulz
21:08 mircea_popescu 7,8 huh. one of these days it's gonna blow up innit.
21:09 asciilifeform 'The attacker just have to press and keep pressing the [Enter] key at the LUKS password prompt until a shell appears, which occurs after 70 seconds approx.'
21:09 mod6 maybe so
21:09 mircea_popescu lmao
21:09 mircea_popescu why are all ubuntus the same ?
21:10 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the money shot is : "dracut is ALSO vulnerable, like initramfs is". because no, none of this is accidental, not anymore than castrated hipster's support for hillary is accidental.
21:11 asciilifeform at this point anyone with 2 neurons to rub together , i'd suppose, grasps this
21:12 mircea_popescu the key point however, is that it's also not "directed", so to speak.
21:12 asciilifeform is put in out of 'general principle'
21:12 mircea_popescu they're not dumb because the evil witch of the west tells them to, and when she dies they'll all wake up from dumb like from a spell.
21:12 asciilifeform and falls into half dozen or so rough taxanomic holes
21:13 mircea_popescu no, they are dumb because they are dumb, like iron is ductile because it is ductile ; any possible identified witches are scapegoats
21:13 asciilifeform 'break console auth', 'rot rng',...
21:14 asciilifeform eh if farmer dies and cows escape into the desert, they will remain == as stupid as before, but ~undirectedly~
21:15 mircea_popescu i suppose they are farmed, yes.
~ 19 minutes ~
21:35 mircea_popescu and in other news, bannon makes chief of staff.
21:35 mircea_popescu bureaucracy deeply butthurt.
21:38 mircea_popescu i'm sorry ; chief ~strategist~. priebus will be chief of staff fwtw.
21:53 asciilifeform dafuq sort of name is 'priebus'
21:54 asciilifeform norwegian?
21:54 mircea_popescu i have no idea.
21:56 mircea_popescu in other lulz, nigel farage is utterly furios that notwithstanding he's the only brit with a trump pass, nevertheless may & friends won't come kiss his pinky ring.
21:56 mircea_popescu pretty lulzy.
21:59 mircea_popescu anyway, it's so funny how much can change in a mere coupla decades. from clinton's "boy, i wish i could say the same" to obama's "i solemnly promise & swear trump won't be elected".
21:59 mircea_popescu i guess it makes sense one got impeached.
21:59 mircea_popescu well... almost impeached.
~ 50 minutes ~
22:50 asciilifeform https://archive.is/vsMXn << not, as appearances might suggest, wholly unrelated: derps froth at the mouth that anyone might dare to play german conquest marches, 'I hope someone will inform their music authorities', 'I am usually very moderate about showcasing of the original information, but I don't think new performances should be encouraged!', etc.
22:51 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> dafuq sort of name is 'priebus' << Lizard!
