00:00 ben_vulpes aha
00:00 undata folks we've got a decider in the house.
00:00 Luke-Jr the "core devs" don't even want to.
00:00 ben_vulpes so this is a sensible default.
00:00 Luke-Jr exactly.
00:00 ben_vulpes in your opinion.
00:00 ben_vulpes now distributed as a default for gentoo.
00:00 Luke-Jr yep
00:00 undata convenient, that.
00:00 Luke-Jr and most of the users happen to agree
00:00 ben_vulpes how is that not pushing your opinions on the MO of bitcoin onto gentoo users?
00:00 undata you think it's sensible for you to say who does and does not transact on the blockchain
00:00 Luke-Jr undata: there you go putting words in my mouth again
00:00 Luke-Jr ben_vulpes: any default is a default
00:01 undata Luke-Jr: what mental gymnastics do you use to define a blacklist?
00:01 Luke-Jr defaulting to the reference policy is also a default. are you going to claim it's "core devs" pushing that on people?
00:01 undata Luke-Jr: if I piss you off, will you blacklist me?
00:02 danielpbarron Luke-Jr, how can a transaction be "spam" when it pays a fee?
00:02 ben_vulpes Luke-Jr: actually, the "core devs" are trying to push all sorts of dumb shit on people. larger block sizes are on that list.
00:02 Luke-Jr undata: I've never blacklisted anyone who pissed me off before, so your question is stupid.
00:03 Luke-Jr danielpbarron: "spam" and "fee" have no direct relationship
00:03 Luke-Jr ben_vulpes: lol, most of us are opposed to larger block sizes at the current time.
00:03 Luke-Jr heck, even Gavin says it's 2 years out
00:04 ben_vulpes "at the current time"
00:04 undata Luke-Jr: your response is "trust me"?
00:04 ben_vulpes good god.
00:04 undata you sir do not understand bitcoin.
00:04 Luke-Jr undata: there you go putting words in my mouth again
00:04 undata Luke-Jr: any child could draw the conclusions I am from what you've said
00:04 Luke-Jr undata: only a child* maybe

00:05 undata you are the sole decider re: blacklisting, and you should be trusted

00:06 danielpbarron 12:07 <+Luke-Jr> danielpbarron: "spam" and "fee" have no direct relationship << yes they do. if I spend an old output, no fee required; i spend a new output with no fee, tx doesn't get spread
00:06 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: No... If I get the time though I might have to visit eBay...
00:06 Luke-Jr danielpbarron: no
00:06 Luke-Jr what you said does not support your claim
00:07 undata Luke-Jr: you're just demonstrating yourself a liar, which makes me trust you as blacklist-lord less.

00:11 mats some of us are keeping score, rest assured
00:11 Luke-Jr (I didn't ask what the other thing he considered controversial was, sorry)
00:13 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: lol, so much price masturbation. So much "this is what we have now basically" when now they get even less.

04:00 Vexual depends whos holding the reigns i guess
04:04 cazalla i don't think it matters who holds them

04:17 Vexual gfc? nah, oh wait, yeah
04:19 cazalla concern of the report is diminishing amount of people to tax, young people work more and more and yet won't ever own their own home and that this unspoken agreement that we pay for the eldery so that the young pay for us when old is going to break down

14:39 jurov i want to get the bible implant
14:41 danielpbarron God does it
14:41 jurov We believe Scriputure does not condemn masturbation. Although it is typically done in wickedness (Matthew 15:19 "evil thoughts"), it can be done in godliness (Titus 1:15). yay
14:41 danielpbarron :D
14:42 danielpbarron it doesn't condemn having multiple wives either, so lots of fun should be possible
14:42 jurov nothing about fags?
14:42 danielpbarron that's condemned
14:44 jurov interesting. you do know jesus did not condemn centurion's lover but instead said "your faith healed him"
14:44 jurov ofc the bigots mistranslated it as "slave"
14:46 danielpbarron can't it be both?
14:47 danielpbarron the Bible doesn't condemn having slaves or slave wives
14:47 jurov you want to say homosexuality is okay if it's master/slave relationship?
14:47 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AMHASH3] 1632 @ 0.0012 = 1.9584 BTC
14:47 danielpbarron no; it's never ok
14:47 jurov jesus should say so, then
14:48 jurov i'm certain it ended up in scripture (at least greek one) because it was controversial even then
14:49 danielpbarron it's mentioned in old and new testement
14:49 jurov if you put paul and old scripture above jesus
14:50 danielpbarron Jesus is the Word (scripture)
14:50 jurov so jesus inspired paul to condemn homosexuality despite he did not say anything himself?
14:52 fluffypony [21:42:07] <+danielpbarron>it doesn't condemn having multiple wives either <- that's not true
14:52 fluffypony polygamy was allowed for a time
14:53 ben_vulpes <BingoBoingo> RagnarDanneskjol: Nice site http://thelogdailyreport.com/ << who is this?
14:53 assbot THE LOG DAILY REPORT ... ( http://bit.ly/1v2vW3G )
14:53 danielpbarron jurov, Jesus is the God of the old testement, the same God that gave the law to Moses
14:53 fluffypony but not in the "new testament"
14:53 ben_vulpes oh god not with the sky fairies again
14:54 danielpbarron fluffypony, show me the scripture that says it isn't allowed
14:54 fluffypony sure
14:54 fluffypony so for a time, God did permit a man to have more than one wife. (see, for eg. Genesis 4:19; 16:1-4; 29:18-30:24) - but God did not originate the practice of polygamy. He provided only one wife for Adam.
14:55 danielpbarron He never said "don't get any more wives"
14:55 jurov danielpbarron: he expressly mentions he gave them certain laws previously because their hearts were hard...
14:55 fluffypony then in John 8:28 Jesus Christ reinstituted God's original standard of monogamy
14:55 jurov bah, this won't go anywhere anyway
14:55 fluffypony also when asked about marriage, Jesus said: "He who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh.'"—Matthew 19:4, 5
14:56 fluffypony the Apostle Paul (one of Jesus' disciples) was later inspired by God to write: "Let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband." (in 1 Corinthians 7:2)
14:56 fluffypony the Bible also states that any married man in the congregation who is given special responsibilities must be "a husband of one wife."—1 Timothy 3:2, 12
14:56 danielpbarron yes, but where in any of that does it say "and have no more than one wife"
14:57 fluffypony danielpbarron: "husband of one wife" is pretty unambiguous, as is "his own wife" and "her own husband"
14:57 danielpbarron that's one particular kind of person; not all people
14:58 danielpbarron "special responsibilities"
14:58 fluffypony "Let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband" - all peoplea
14:58 fluffypony now "his own wifes" and "her own husbands"
14:58 fluffypony *not
14:58 fluffypony not now
14:59 fluffypony and wives not wifes
14:59 fluffypony wtf spelling.
14:59 mike_c oh hey, yeah, plus nobody gives a shit about that old scam.
14:59 fluffypony mike_c: complete pump and dump
14:59 danielpbarron that passage is about how a husband owns his wife and a wife owns her husband, and that neither may refuse sex
14:59 mike_c srsly
15:00 fluffypony danielpbarron: so then show me the contrast - where in the Bible does it explicitly allow polygamy?
15:00 mike_c join #bible
15:01 danielpbarron fluffypony, nearly all the prominant male figures throughout the Bible had harems of wives and slave wives, and God never scolded them for it
15:02 fluffypony well I don't want to get into a protracted debate...but beyond Solomon that's not true
15:02 keystroke hey fluffypony, didn't think i would see you here :)
15:02 keystroke you peter and i climbed around risto's castle more than a few months back now

17:04 mod6 This month I've been doing testing with the patched version of the reference implementation. Main object here is to get from genesis block to current block, while being able to get past the wedge block 252450. I was able to do that, but not only did we test with ascii's patches and ben's UPNP patch, I added a patch (http://dpaste.com/1G3XY64) that removes the checkpoints, and a patch (http://dpaste.com/1K5M2TN) to configure BDB so the R.I. won't
17:06 kakobrekla idk if 'wont wedge' is enough for ascii at this point, but gj!
17:06 mod6 I was able to get upto the current block 2 different times with patches 1->5 (which includes ascii's patches, ben's patch, and my removal of checkpoints) with two seperate bdb configs. The first one just changed this: dbenv.set_lk_max_locks(40000); But ended up with a huge amount of BDB tx log files.
17:07 mod6 So I looked into what they have set up in v0.9 and it more closely resembles that second dpaste above. If you guys would like to review a bit before I post these to the list, that'd be awesome.
17:09 mod6 here's a snippit of what my 300Gb disk looked like with only the dbenv.set_lk_max_locks looked like:
17:09 mod6 http://dpaste.com/2SE7QY5
17:09 assbot dpaste: 2SE7QY5 ... ( http://bit.ly/1Jbhccm )
17:09 mod6 haha.
17:09 mod6 thx kako
17:10 mod6 But yeah, it's still has some leaks in there somewhere, as the R.I. died at least 2 different times from 1->current block, but no more than 3 times. Eitherway, this needs to get resolved. But at least we're headed in the right direction.
17:11 mod6 I just have a gut-feeling that perhaps as discussed in here before some of these leak problems stem from BOOST, which will be a pita to remove, but a requirement.
17:12 mod6 And perhaps could squash that bug at the same time. I need to do more work with gdb while it's sync'ing up to try to get a more accurate picture.
17:14 mod6 s/300Gb/350Gb/
17:15 mike_c you think boost is leaking?
17:16 mike_c i'm no boost fan, but it seems more likely it is in the usage of boost rather than the library itself.
17:16 mod6 well, indeed, that could be the case.
17:16 mod6 i'll find out, one way or another.
17:17 mod6 here's a snippit of what my .bitcoin/database dir looks like with the BDB patch compiled in:
17:17 mod6 http://dpaste.com/36RSNH7
17:17 assbot dpaste: 36RSNH7 ... ( http://bit.ly/1JbkegG )
17:17 mod6 obv. a lot smaller and only seems to grow up to ~60 log files until it flushes them out.
17:24 mod6 mike_c: yeah, should have said "stem from or usage of BOOST" :]
17:25 mike_c yeah, i'm sure you're right. smart pointers, shared pointers, I'm sure it's a minefield.
17:25 mod6 I still have a bit more testing to complete before the end of the month, but hopefully will get some additionally time over the remaining 13 days to debug more.

18:50 ikeboy is anyone willing to bet against me that paycoin will be worthless in 2 weeks?
18:53 BingoBoingo Probably not, any scam can be kept afloat for two weeks
18:53 ikeboy They claim that they will buy any coins for $20 starting monday. If they don't, it will probably drop
18:54 ikeboy afaik, that's the only thing giving it value right now, the expectation of a payout on monday
18:56 thestringpuller just make bitbet and see what happens if you're so intrigued
18:56 ikeboy bitbet doesn't have odds betting
18:57 ikeboy so I can't know how much i get if im right
18:57 ikeboy besides, i think the market would mostly agree with me, but there were some people on irc that didn't, so i want to get money out of them
18:58 ikeboy i'm making a betmoose event right now
18:58 BingoBoingo Well, the thing is... Which betting platform actually brings... bettors with money to the bets?
18:59 ikeboy i don't know, i've made money on fairlay, but not in the amounts I want to bet on this

19:03 ikeboy that link isn't that informative
19:03 thestringpuller ikeboy: you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
19:03 ikeboy explain?
19:03 ikeboy I already said I'm not interested in bitbet
19:04 BingoBoingo ikeboy: What odds interest you and why should other people be interested in them.
19:04 BingoBoingo ?
19:04 ikeboy I'm interested in 10:1 odds on paycoin not being worth more than .01 BTC in 2 weeks
19:05 ikeboy and anyone who has a greater than 90% that paycoin is going bust should pick this up
19:05 ikeboy I would put up to ~2BTC on this, versus 20BTC
19:05 thestringpuller yea, there is your problem small fry.
19:06 ikeboy What's the problem? too small?
19:06 ikeboy Don't tell me it's not worth $600 for someone to spend time setting it up
19:07 * thestringpuller sighs
19:09 thestringpuller it seems the only reason you want odds if for extended leverage.
19:09 thestringpuller s/if/is/gc
19:11 ikeboy what do you mean by that?
19:11 ikeboy If you mean I can make more this way than by investing in paycoin directly, then yes
19:11 thestringpuller no i mean what I said...
19:11 ikeboy And people who were trying to convince me not to buy paycoin should be willing to put money behind that
19:12 ikeboy what do you mean by leverage?
19:13 thestringpuller ;;google leverage finance
19:13 gribble Error: We broke The Google!
19:13 thestringpuller well then
19:14 ikeboy i'm trying to increase my return. what do you think I'm trying to do?
19:14 cazalla buy more paycoin then, sure bet!
19:15 ikeboy that has an expected 200% gain, and a bet may have a 900% gain
19:16 cazalla not if you're unable to find someone to bet against, i'd take the sure thing while you can lol

19:49 Adlai so paycoin has progressed from vaporware to real, nitrogen-rich altcoincrap?
19:50 ikeboy does that mean you don't believe in it?
19:50 ikeboy if so, i have a bet for you ...
19:50 Adlai of course i believe in paycoin. it is the vehicle through which the prophet garza will lead the people from usury and incest to riches and glory
19:51 Adlai "don't believe in paycoin" doesn't translate cleanly to "willing to bet on a subset of the possible failure scenarios, as opposed to all others"
19:51 BingoBoingo Adlai: Well It's a fork of peercoin. The code was already there just needed magic number tweaks. Also Peercoin was cooler when it was still called PeePeeCoin
19:52 Adlai whatever happened to the real peepeecoin. nobody wants to trade their overpriced shitcoins for kilos of processed manure?
19:52 ikeboy so give your prob estimates for: paycoin being worth ~$20 in 2 weeks, paycoin being worth ~10 dollars in 2 weeks, paycoin being pretty much worthless in 2 weeks
19:53 Adlai "worth" is the key word. it could be worth $30 on the bucket shops that choose to list it, but zero to the rest of the world.
19:54 ikeboy worth as in I can sell it for a value on an open market like coin-swap
19:54 Adlai oh look it's another cryptsy
19:54 Adlai it's like cryptsy except without litecoin shoved down my throat at every turn
19:54 ikeboy if I can sell it for $20, that means someone is willing to pay for it
19:54 Adlai 900BTC 24h vol XPY/BTC wtf
19:55 ikeboy so ... your prob estimates?
19:57 * Adlai hasn't the faintest clue how deep the lemmings' pockets run
19:57 ikeboy I'm going now, but the betmoose is here for anyone betmoose.com/bet/paycoin-to-be-worth-at-least-_01-btc-in-2015-1049
19:58 kakobrekla why doenst he get ddosed?
19:59 Adlai at that moment, kako was enlightened
19:59 * kakobrekla checks
19:59 kakobrekla nope, still ignorant
19:59 asciilifeform kakobrekla: if you wanted to, you could've determined mr. ddos by iterative kicking / process of deduction - long ago.
19:59 kakobrekla yes i know
20:00 asciilifeform but where'd be the sport in that.
20:02 Adlai it could be that the ddoser is not ddosing himself. or that he's not ddosing people belonging to his site. or that he picks targets randomly, to give the illusion of unknown patterns.
20:02 kakobrekla or maybe its offline atm.
20:15 asciilifeform kakobrekla: here's an elegant, though likewise unsporting pill against ddosman. require anyone outside of L1 to enter uncloaked on pain of instakick. there will be a set of 'lurkers' remaining who never die. among them will be our hero, who is then readily deduced.
20:17 asciilifeform of course, this is largely a waste of time when one can simply walk away with the chumpnet (entirely unsecured, as discussed in past thread on subject)
20:19 BingoBoingo Walk away with chumpnet, implement new bot, other things too prolly
20:20 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: there isn't a bot.
20:20 BingoBoingo Ah
20:20 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=16-12-2014#954024
20:20 assbot Logged on 16-12-2014 01:04:22; asciilifeform: from the department of nyooz yoo can yooze - kakobrekla provided data from which we learn that ddos man has switched from ssdp to ntp 'amplification' attack (see literature.)
20:20 asciilifeform and below.
20:20 BingoBoingo Ah
20:20 BingoBoingo I thought there was a bot on the trigger
20:21 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: in that sense, yes
20:21 asciilifeform but there isn't a 'botnet'
20:21 asciilifeform there's just a sea of idiot boxes that should have been booted from the net long ago.
20:21 asciilifeform by isp.
20:22 BingoBoingo Right
20:22 asciilifeform 'amplification' idiocy is trivially tested for, and any isp which doesn't yank the offending lusers ought by all rights to be killed upstream
20:22 asciilifeform see also 1990s, 'usenet death penalty.'
20:22 asciilifeform (precedent)
20:23 kakobrekla i think the least damaging way is to kick nicks that are idle sing sing-on
20:23 kakobrekla s/sing/since
20:24 asciilifeform aha.
20:24 asciilifeform wanna idle for >5 min, get in wot.
20:24 kakobrekla smth like that
20:25 asciilifeform so then.
20:28 kakobrekla but bot can get in the wot.
20:29 asciilifeform then we have a fungus among us.
20:29 kakobrekla wait, you meant l2 trust?
20:29 asciilifeform aha.
20:29 kakobrekla having a wot and having l2 trust not same thing.
20:29 asciilifeform well yes, shorthand here.
20:29 asciilifeform anyone who has voice, gets to idle as much as he likes
20:30 asciilifeform others - only long enough to see who to ask for voice.
20:30 asciilifeform that was, i think, the idea.
20:30 decimation yeah i think that's a good plan
20:31 asciilifeform naturally mr ddos will have nothing to do but move on to qntra, trilema, bitbet...
20:31 decimation people outside of L2 can read the logs
20:31 kakobrekla yes, but. kick wont do, you have to ban the idler or else it just rejoins. secondly, if we fail to voice ppl which we kinda do, they will be casualties.
20:31 asciilifeform they are already casualties.
20:32 decimation kakobrekla: one way around that issue would be to kick anyone who isn't in the wot (not L2)
20:32 asciilifeform and i can only speak for myself, but i neglect voicing people because they don't ask.
20:32 asciilifeform now they will have a reason to ask.
20:32 asciilifeform the idlers who 'i'll join a hundred bitcoin-related channels, they're all the same to me!' are contemptible.
20:32 asciilifeform (but i think mircea_popescu already said this)
20:33 decimation I don't get the point to idling on a logged channel (without voice)
20:33 kakobrekla hm. how about 1 min auto voice on join for unseen nicks?
20:33 asciilifeform kakobrekla: nah
20:33 asciilifeform kakobrekla: easy spamatron
20:33 decimation what about unseen nicks who are authed by gribble?
20:34 kakobrekla registered nicks?
20:34 kakobrekla idk.
20:34 asciilifeform registered << same easy spamatron
20:34 decimation not quite as easy, but you are right
20:34 asciilifeform anything mr spam can get $maxint of purely by perl script is useless
20:35 asciilifeform this includes gribble-regged keys, incidentally
20:35 asciilifeform we would be creating an incentive to flood wot with crud
20:35 asciilifeform hence l2.
20:35 decimation there is an incentive to do this anyway
20:35 decimation nanotube might consider deleting wot ID's that haven't authed in a period of time
20:36 asciilifeform so mr spam will walk them.
20:36 asciilifeform like dogs.
20:36 asciilifeform by perl script.
20:36 decimation really I guess that's the same solution as Mr. Luke-jr
20:36 asciilifeform remember that it's a wot
20:36 asciilifeform you don't kill folks with a nuke by rolling it and crushing them under it
20:36 asciilifeform you set it off, as designed
20:36 decimation Like bitcoin, the wot database is going to grow forever
20:37 asciilifeform wot is to be used as a wot to eliminate precisely this class of pest
20:37 asciilifeform among others
20:37 decimation asciilifeform: but this only works if one regards a n00b with utter contempt
20:37 asciilifeform how else to regard ?
20:37 asciilifeform !s the cold equations
20:37 assbot 10 results for 'the cold equations' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=the+cold+equations
20:37 decimation yeah, it's a good point
20:37 asciilifeform wants less contempt? must become less contemptible.
20:38 asciilifeform demonstrably.
20:38 decimation which would basically require being personally known to someone in the wot
20:38 scoopbot New post on Qntra.net by Bingo Boingo: http://qntra.net/2014/12/lawsky-walks-back-from-original-bitlicense/
20:38 asciilifeform decimation: that, or to make a good introduction of himself.
20:39 decimation an introduction that couldn't be replicated by perl script
20:39 asciilifeform aha.
20:39 BingoBoingo #bitcoin-assets-lobby
20:39 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: no. that just relocates the roaches, not kills.
20:39 BingoBoingo Sure
20:40 asciilifeform i like the idea of nuking drooling idlers who have no visible purpose
20:40 asciilifeform ddos or no ddos
20:40 kakobrekla honestly im not sure whats worse, autoddos or autoban.
20:40 decimation it's not really a ban, it's more of a bouncer
20:41 TomServo BingoBoingo: You're movie clip on qntra shows 'removed by user'. :(
20:41 kakobrekla decimation just kicking is not enough
20:41 TomServo Your* :(
20:42 asciilifeform anyone who is kicked and auto-rejoins is ipso facto bot ?
20:42 decimation is it possible to 'hook' ChanServ to intercept joins before they happen?
20:43 kakobrekla nah pretty much everything these days has 'autorejoin' option
20:43 asciilifeform incidentally, what do we need unvoiced users for at all? noobs can find the log www, and figure out who to pm from it
20:43 BingoBoingo TomServo: THese things happen
20:43 kakobrekla which was also responsible for a bunch of cloak fails
20:44 BingoBoingo Well, sometimes assbot has downtime too.
20:45 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AMHASH1] 1000 @ 0.00121415 = 1.2142 BTC [+] {2}
20:45 kakobrekla that can be mitigated by secondary up only bot.
20:45 decimation I thought cloak fails were associated with users who aren't sasl authed
20:45 asciilifeform decimation: nope.
20:46 asciilifeform decimation: i personally had cloak fail from a malfunctioning (hacked?) freenode node.
20:46 asciilifeform kakobrekla: +i ?
20:46 decimation interesting.
20:48 kakobrekla too much work
20:48 kakobrekla ongoing
20:48 BingoBoingo AH, only longterm solution seems to be an ircd foundation
20:48 decimation heh
20:48 decimation no more like cryptoProt foundation
20:50 asciilifeform kakobrekla: too much work << wouldn't it be approximately a one-liner? add to +i list upon voicing by assbot, remove when logged off / devoiced ?
20:51 asciilifeform the observation that, on account of the log existing, we don't need human idlers for anything at all, was correct
20:52 asciilifeform decimation: cryptoprot ?
20:52 decimation I donno, what would you name your rsa/udp/wot idea?
20:53 asciilifeform decimation: it has a name.
20:53 kakobrekla what i meant was "pls invite" pms that would follow
20:53 asciilifeform kakobrekla: how many of these we get now ?
20:53 kakobrekla which i think you meant was to be refused
20:54 asciilifeform kakobrekla: they are not necessarily to be refused, but there ought to be slightly higher expectations of work for the n00b to do in order to merit invite
20:54 asciilifeform 'hi please let me in' should not do
20:55 asciilifeform n00b should be expected to say at least a complete sentence re: why he should be let in to talk
20:55 asciilifeform if he merely wants to listen - straight to www log.
20:55 decimation asciilifeform: I guess I missed the name, what is it?
20:55 asciilifeform decimation: you didn't miss it. i never said
20:56 asciilifeform decimation: if you give a damn, it was called - on my own machine, which at present, is the only place it exists - 'kapelle'
20:56 asciilifeform decimation: as in Die Rote Kapelle.
20:56 asciilifeform but this is not a published gadget, and should not be regarded as proof - or even suggestion - of anything in particular.
20:57 asciilifeform i'm almost sorry i mentioned it, now folks will expect it to exist
20:57 kakobrekla and hypothetically given we have l2 +i, do we still need +m?
20:57 asciilifeform kakobrekla: haha, for what
20:58 kakobrekla well you manually invite a 'new guy' take the chance it doesnt work out, you need some means to get rid of it?
20:58 asciilifeform devoice -> uninvite
20:58 asciilifeform mechanical.
20:58 asciilifeform '!down' ought to suffice
20:58 kakobrekla but if we dont have +m we are not up or down
20:59 asciilifeform '!up' -> invite
20:59 asciilifeform can use same command, no ?
20:59 asciilifeform just different logic in it
20:59 kakobrekla a you mean like down is +kb
20:59 asciilifeform aha.
20:59 BingoBoingo Seems whole new IRC network is the solution instead of arguing freenode +i vs. +m conventions
21:00 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: we're discussing perhaps a ~1kb patch to kako's bot, rather than a serious project
21:01 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: but if you want to contribute a box or two for a 'parachute' network for #b-a, don't let this stop you
21:01 kakobrekla ethical_cleansing.patch
21:02 asciilifeform lol
21:02 decimation freenode seems to attract folks like mr. spam
21:02 asciilifeform does fleanode support 'knocking' ?
21:02 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Well, there are ideas. If a new network popped up parachute would be likely. Seems though that the root of current problem is freenode baring IPs and lacking any controling entity that could be convinced to do otherwise.
21:03 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: you probably know, but this is not the only problem with fleanode.
21:03 BingoBoingo Sure

21:06 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1AMLkVr )
21:06 asciilifeform i'm not sure whether the fact of something being planted in an 'eyes' country or not is even interesting. it's like the old saw about how a smoking section in a restaurant is quite like a pissing section in swimming pool.
21:06 undata_ asciilifeform: heh, point taken.
21:06 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: It depends on the kind of restaurant. I am pretty sure some restaurants would be intolerable if it wasn't for heavy smoking.
21:08 asciilifeform kakobrekla: if mp likes n00bs, then let's see if he agrees that this should make their ordeal more rational (if not lighter) than it is currently.
21:09 asciilifeform kakobrekla: imho it will produce more interesting noobs - a challenge piques interest, selects for folks who aren't vegetables
21:09 kakobrekla i think the main issue is he wont be able to take credit.
21:09 asciilifeform l0l
21:09 asciilifeform actually he can
21:09 BingoBoingo Everyone needs to eat their vegetables from time to time though
21:10 asciilifeform seems that, in his absence, i'm filling in for him in role as 'cruel sargeant for n00bs'
21:10 asciilifeform at least for this thread.
21:10 BingoBoingo lol
21:11 BingoBoingo I think having had a GPG key fingerprint on an MPEx listed contract is the rough equivalent of a commision so asciilifeform at the worst you are probaby a captain by now.

21:51 Luke-Jr lol
21:51 Luke-Jr funny how I'm falsely accused of censorship, and the reaction here is to censor me ;)
21:51 PeterL hands don't help much if you don't know where to put them
21:52 asciilifeform Luke-Jr: just like your victims, 'there was plenty of warning', 'no one unwitting', 'there were no victims'
21:52 mike_c and the problem we are trying to solve here is that uncloaked noobs might get ddos'd.
21:52 Luke-Jr asciilifeform: I have no victims, I've not done anything wrong.
21:52 Luke-Jr asciilifeform: you are a hypocrite, nothing more
21:52 Luke-Jr just saying
21:52 mike_c the solution being, we lock them out.
21:53 asciilifeform mike_c: idea was, we let them in when they are actual people with an actual reason for wanting in
21:53 Luke-Jr mike_c: you realise the regulars/admins here are insane?
21:53 asciilifeform beyond 'let me drool in this here bowl'
21:53 PeterL so if an uncloaked noob comes by, asks for voice and gets let in, then they will be ddossed?
21:53 mike_c Luke-Jr: they smell funny too
21:53 asciilifeform PeterL: ddosed by whom ?
21:53 PeterL whoever is ddossing now?
21:53 asciilifeform PeterL: idea is that the idler parked here by mr ddos will die.
21:54 PeterL oh, I see
21:54 mike_c PeterL: my understanding is anyone who enters uncloaked, thereby flashing their IP, get ddos'd by the fucktarded bot that is lurking in here.
21:54 PeterL and we assume the ddoser is outside the l2?
21:54 mike_c idk, I think it's fine that we let them talk when they are actual people. how are they to become actual people if they can't listen?
21:54 asciilifeform they can listen!
21:54 asciilifeform on kako's www log.
21:55 mike_c by hitting f5 on log.b-a?
21:55 mike_c that sucks
21:55 asciilifeform why?
21:55 PeterL there is some benefit to seeing what is happening now, in reaction to events going on
21:55 asciilifeform why does this need to happen in split-second parcels?
21:55 PeterL and you loose some sense of the timing when you read the logs
21:56 asciilifeform PeterL: understand, it isn't as if they can freely idle here now. ddos bot takes care of this.
21:56 asciilifeform PeterL: proposed change transfers the initiative to actual people, and takes away whatever piece of it the spammer had.
21:56 asciilifeform spammer should have - none.
21:56 PeterL but really, you can learn alot more going over a few months of logs than trying to get lucky by finding something interesting happening right now at this moment
21:57 asciilifeform aha.
21:57 asciilifeform think of it this way:
21:57 asciilifeform we already have something quite like this system. just that it is being administered by an enemy.
21:59 mike_c feels like cutting off head because enemy is making our nose itch.
21:59 mike_c (what an analogy!)
21:59 asciilifeform his head.
22:00 asciilifeform at any rate, the folks whose gadget this is, can decide
22:00 asciilifeform i can only suggest.

22:02 assbot Logged on 19-12-2014 01:44:12; BingoBoingo: Well, sometimes assbot has downtime too.
22:02 kakobrekla gribble is what worries me.
22:02 PeterL what happens if somebody tries to join the chan without auth/L2? do they get dumped into #bitcoin-assets-noobs?
22:02 kakobrekla among other things, it is out of my control.
22:02 PeterL have assbot take over the WoT?
22:04 kakobrekla could only be done as completely separate auth
22:04 asciilifeform kakobrekla: aha
22:04 asciilifeform or ask nanotube to remove the peculiar must-be-in-channel thing
22:04 asciilifeform (i'd love to hear a rationale for it)
22:05 kakobrekla that has no effect on issues im presenting
22:05 asciilifeform which issue?
22:05 PeterL it's strange, you must be in chan, but you can auth in a pm, so why be in the chan?
22:05 kakobrekla gribble down and out of control
22:06 PeterL if gribble is afk, then nobody can get into this chan
22:06 asciilifeform if gribble is down today, kakobrekla (and mircea_popescu ?) are still stuck manually upping folks
22:06 asciilifeform PeterL: nobody but ops
22:06 PeterL they would still be able to manually up people, right?
22:06 asciilifeform PeterL: just like today, if gribble or assbot are down, only ops have voice
22:06 asciilifeform iirc
22:06 asciilifeform PeterL: aha
22:07 PeterL I think people can be voiced now manually if gribble is down but not if assbot is down?
22:07 kakobrekla correct
22:08 asciilifeform ops can operate the whole thing in manually-cranked mode, afaik
22:08 asciilifeform when they're awake
22:08 kakobrekla yes, can and willing to is not interchangeable
22:08 asciilifeform aha.
22:08 asciilifeform just pointing out answer to 'can anything at all work when all bots are dead'
22:09 asciilifeform that being, that all the controls have manual emergency cranks
22:10 PeterL in the proposed system, can people join if assbot is down?
22:10 kakobrekla option 2, move the auth to assbot and save another step (!up)
22:11 decimation recreate nanobot's wot with assbot?
22:11 asciilifeform kakobrekla: what means 'move auth to assbot'
22:11 kakobrekla idk, yet.

22:11 PeterL have a #bitcoin-assets WoT separate from #bitcoin-otc?
22:11 kakobrekla but basically as far as i gather punkman already downloads wot data from otc
22:11 kakobrekla for notary
22:11 asciilifeform one of the things that always gave me the willies about the classic (nanotube's) wot is that operations are not signed
22:11 decimation I don't get how level 2 has 0 connections, but joecool, nanotube and pankakke are connected to him?
22:12 kakobrekla and keeps a seperate l2 records
22:12 kakobrekla i can do same
22:12 asciilifeform whatever happened to notarybot?
22:12 PeterL decimation: there are a bunch of -1s which offset +1s
22:13 PeterL it is not 0 connections, it is 0 score
22:13 decimation ah I thought it was connection based
22:14 PeterL asciilifeform: but you have to auth before making an operation, so it is almost like being signed
22:14 asciilifeform PeterL: you have to - yes. mr i-owned-fleanode nsa clerk - no.
22:15 asciilifeform PeterL: likewise annotations can be diddled
22:15 asciilifeform on account of not having been signed
22:15 asciilifeform and likewise timestamps
22:15 asciilifeform nanotube's wot works, afaik, thus far, but a good chunk of it still lives in the old pre-cryptographic universe
22:16 PeterL how would you add signatures here?
22:16 asciilifeform PeterL: simply define a canonical wot as consisting of gpg-signed 'rate' commands
22:16 decimation asciilifeform: another alternative: all chat is pm'ed to assbot, who posts it to the log
22:16 asciilifeform with the signature encompassing the full text of said command
22:16 decimation there is no channel
22:17 decimation each chat is signed
22:17 asciilifeform decimation: that's ugly
22:17 decimation yes, but eliminates 'fleanode'
22:17 asciilifeform decimation: nope
22:18 asciilifeform unless you move the whole thing to a dedicated box with own irc. but then you advertise its ip in public
22:18 asciilifeform and back to the start.
22:18 asciilifeform or, at best, to mircea's suggestion of building a dedicated #b-a irc net.
22:19 BingoBoingo #b-a irc net seems the only long term solution
22:19 BingoBoingo With other less strict channels existing on the net
22:20 asciilifeform re: wot: (question to all present) - how often do you re-read your own wot history?
22:20 asciilifeform to check for anything you don't remember having done (or done to you)
22:20 asciilifeform i'll guess, very rarely.
22:21 kakobrekla i go through it a few times a year but for that reason particularly
22:21 asciilifeform even if you do, there is no guarantee that other readers see the same thing you see
22:21 kakobrekla eh
22:21 kakobrekla not for*
22:21 asciilifeform diddled, e.g., bitcoin-otc.com, can serve up anything it wants
22:21 asciilifeform a diddle gribble - same
22:21 kakobrekla well a diddled anything can anything
22:21 kakobrekla news at 11?
22:22 asciilifeform and guess what state of the art here is
22:22 asciilifeform blockchain.
22:23 asciilifeform i dare to invoke the 'parachute theorem' and say now, that when wot is taken seriously by intelligent and resourceful enemies, it will be rather late.
22:24 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: So you are saying BUY on namecoin
22:24 asciilifeform and the formerly harmless softness and promise-based mechanisms will become serious holes in the armour.
22:24 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: nope
22:24 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: there is precisely one worthwhile blockchain.
22:24 nanotube asciilifeform: it's a way to track a person by hostmask, to provide persistent auth sessions. once we move to 'everything must be signed' there would be no need for auth sessions, and thus no need for people to be in particular channels shared with gribble.
22:24 asciilifeform (iirc namecoin was recently shot in the head)
22:24 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Or maybe you don't yet know you imply it. It's the only alt I know of with Satoshi commits
22:25 BingoBoingo namecoin has been shot in the head many times
22:25 asciilifeform nanotube: afaik everyone who frequents this channel is now cloaked
22:25 BingoBoingo namecoin works best brainless
22:25 mike_c yes, but he knows the nick didn't switch.
22:26 asciilifeform !up undata
22:26 nanotube asciilifeform: sure, but not everyone who uses the wot is in this channel or is cloaked :)
22:26 undata asciilifeform: ty
22:27 * asciilifeform does not know if nanotube is aware of the reason for this thread
22:27 nanotube asciilifeform: not really. got an executive summary? :)
22:28 decimation nanotube: there's a ddoser who spams anyone who joins #bitcoin-assets with a 'naked' ip with an ntp amplification attack
22:28 asciilifeform nanotube: there is a ddos artist paid (apparently) to carry out an endless quest to interfere with #b-a and related projects. presently he has an idler parked here.
22:29 asciilifeform nanotube: it points a ddosnet consisting of ntp and ssdp 'amplification' bots (misconfigured routers, typically) at the victim.
22:29 nanotube well, that's a reason for people here to be cloaked. i remember hearing about that
22:30 asciilifeform nanotube: many new users log in without cloak. and occasionally cloaks fail for reasons which do not reduce to user error
22:30 undata yeah, sasl failed for me earlier
22:30 asciilifeform there are, i surmise, parties which are actively trying to induce these error conditions en masse.
22:30 nanotube yea, freenode unfortunately doesn't default-cloak people
22:30 undata no idea why, but it left me without my cloak for a bit, as freenode wouldn't let me change nicks
22:30 asciilifeform it is not hard to guess who they are.
22:31 asciilifeform (the error-inducers)
22:31 asciilifeform there was also a mass compromise of freenode boxes in sept. and who knows when else, and on what scale.
22:33 nanotube yea i remember that too...
22:34 asciilifeform the channels-shared-by-gribble thing also means that ddos idler bot, if expelled from #b-a, can move to one of the other channels.
22:34 asciilifeform where the hooliganism can continue
22:35 asciilifeform ultimately the very need for 'cloaks' is a bizarre misfeature
22:35 asciilifeform from a pre-cryptographic dark age
22:36 nanotube aye, indeed.
22:36 asciilifeform (or, if you prefer, golden age, 'garden of eden')
22:36 decimation given how obvious this flaw is, one wonders why no one has undertaken to fix it
22:36 PeterL so the question for you: would it be possible to let people auth without being in a chan with gribble?
22:37 nanotube it is being worked on. but have a lot of other stuff on my plate. once everything is signed, there will not even be a need for something like "auth".
22:37 asciilifeform if i understand correctly, nanotube's explanation resolves to this being an anti-mitm mechanism
22:37 asciilifeform ?
22:38 nanotube asciilifeform: well, more like an anti "guy leaves, some other guy comes in on same ip, and gribble has no way of knowing about it, unless they share a channel and gribble can see quits"
22:38 asciilifeform isomorphic to mitm.
22:39 asciilifeform nanotube: incidentally, what is to become of the present wot when a hypothetical 'everything is signed' wot is built ?
22:39 PeterL so instead of just saying "eauth peterl", now we will say "eauth peterl <signature by key goes here>"?
22:39 nanotube PeterL: you'll say "rate dude 1 signature". why even a separate 'auth' step?
22:40 PeterL we use it here to verify people are who they say they are
22:40 asciilifeform nanotube: everyone gets to re-send their collected ratings with signature ?
22:40 nanotube asciilifeform: i'm hoping for a gradual transition, as people upgrade their ratings with signed packets. after a sunset period, all unsigned ratings may be ignored
22:41 PeterL that helps with ratings, but does not help the current voicing model of #b-a
22:41 asciilifeform nanotube: we were contemplating ways to expel the ddos idler from the channel in a permanent and generic way.
22:41 nanotube PeterL: oh well, i guess auth can stay for that purpose. or you can just send a signed message to assbot directly, in theory.
22:42 nanotube asciilifeform: hrm... that's a tough problem. how?
22:42 decimation assbot would them pm the list of interested parties?
22:42 PeterL so instead of authing with gribble, we send auth message to assbot? one step instead of 3, sounds good to me
22:42 asciilifeform nanotube: the only readily apparent way is '+i'
22:43 asciilifeform nanotube: with inviter mechanism bolted onto assbot
22:43 nanotube asciilifeform: yes... but then the squatter will just squat on the 'gateway' channel where people get forwarded when they are not invited
22:43 asciilifeform nanotube: except there wouldn't be one. people would be asked to read kakobrekla's www log.
22:43 asciilifeform if they wish to lurk.
22:44 decimation if they wish to auth, they pm assbot
22:44 nanotube hm and how do new people get in
22:44 asciilifeform they read kakobrekla's www log, see who to pm, make a brief case for being invited
22:45 nanotube and what prevents squatter from doing that, from several different identities?
22:45 PeterL would we need to pm assbot to get a challenge to decrypt, or could it be something like we just send assbot the signature of "auth <wot name> <current time>"?
22:45 nanotube and then waiting for a while
22:45 nanotube PeterL: that depends on assbot coder. :)
22:45 asciilifeform nanotube: he will have to go beyond passing the turing test, and into fabricating an interesting and invite-worthy personality each time.
22:45 asciilifeform nanotube: if he can do this, he deserves to be here.
22:45 PeterL ^ directed at kakobrekla
22:46 nanotube haha
22:46 decimation and if he managed to make it on, he would be identified by the brains of those on the channel and quickly kicked
22:46 nanotube PeterL: still way too early to worry about it though :)
22:47 asciilifeform nanotube: let's look from another angle. right now, noobs are virtually banned from #b-a. but the ban is enforced by a hooligan, not by any of us
22:48 asciilifeform nanotube: my suggestion was to expel the enemy with an only slightly less annoying mechanism that is at least controlled by actual people, and not by spamming scum
22:48 asciilifeform and therefore functions predictably and perhaps in some way constructively.
22:48 nanotube well, i hope it works. i'd be curious to see.
22:48 PeterL nanotube: I don't think the change I am suggesting would require any change of gribble, just adding a separate auth to assbot
22:48 nanotube PeterL: indeed that is correct.
22:48 asciilifeform nanotube: it can only work if folks can authenticate with assbot (and hence with gribble, or equivalent) without exposing hostname
22:49 asciilifeform separate auth to assbot would work, but how to feed through wot ?
22:49 asciilifeform synchronized copy ?
22:50 decimation why not have assbot (or a slave bot) simply pm everyone a copy of signed messages?
22:50 asciilifeform decimation: because ugly
22:50 asciilifeform weirdo protocol that would only by happenstance operate over irc
22:51 PeterL decimation: how to sign messages in irc client?
22:51 decimation well, yeah that part would be annoying
22:51 decimation but at least it would be a step in the right direction
22:51 decimation and it would eliminate most of the dependence on freenode infrastructure
22:51 asciilifeform decimation: right now there is no ready mechanism (except in my experiment, described earlier) for pronouncing ephemeral ('hot', machine-readable) keys for rapid signing
22:52 asciilifeform and even if there were, it would be unsuitable for safety-critical signatures (e.g., wot ratings)
22:52 decimation aye good point.
22:53 asciilifeform at any rate, the correct way to use it would be to have a proggy emulate an irc server and connect ordinary client to it
22:53 nanotube use pastebin to pass a signed message to the bot. assbot can just grab the user database on a regular basis to keep current.
22:54 asciilifeform so as to have the ui we are accustomed to
22:54 asciilifeform to the extent it makes sense to do it
22:54 asciilifeform hardwired dependence on pastebin then ?
22:54 asciilifeform seems shaky
22:54 decimation how do we know that pastebin's 'bins' are immutable?
22:55 asciilifeform if pasting a signed ephemeral message, no need
22:55 asciilifeform but it can still go down, or lose bits selectively
22:55 decimation ah, but then assbot would need a 'hot key'
22:55 asciilifeform why?
22:55 asciilifeform not encrypted. signed.
22:56 decimation ah well who generates the signed message? gribble?
22:56 decimation a moderator?
22:56 asciilifeform actually it'd have to be encrypted, or mitm vector.
22:56 asciilifeform picture dr. evil sitting on 'pastebin', waiting.
22:56 asciilifeform !up undata
22:56 PeterL why not have assbot do what gribble does now for authing?
22:57 asciilifeform iirc someone suggested this
22:57 PeterL auth to assbot in a pm, that gives you voice?
22:57 asciilifeform assbot with synchronized copy of gribble wot.
22:57 asciilifeform then, if you want to rate, still have to auth with gribble again though
22:57 asciilifeform annoying.
22:57 PeterL then once you are in you can auth with gribble too if you need to update any ratings
22:58 PeterL (or just send a signed rating message once that gets implemented)
22:58 asciilifeform ^
22:58 asciilifeform eventually wot must consist of signed packets.
22:58 PeterL lol, I can't read and type at the same time
22:59 asciilifeform afaik this was probably obvious to everyone from the start.
22:59 PeterL yes, and so you will no longer have to auth with gribble, just assbot
22:59 decimation asciilifeform: agreed, but it might be impractical. consider a 'firewall' that is checking mr spam's packets all day
22:59 decimation I suspect the crypto would need to be done on an fpga
22:59 asciilifeform decimation: why ?
23:00 asciilifeform decimation: nobody cancelled flood-banning
23:00 asciilifeform no actual human transmits $maxint whatevers from a single ip per second/hour/etc
23:01 decimation what 'handle' are you going to use for banning? ip address?
23:01 decimation what if mr. spam learns the ip of a friend?
23:01 asciilifeform decimation: you're entirely correct that this will eventually be a thing, though. hence the need for stateless, single-packet auth hellos.
23:01 asciilifeform as in my experiment.
23:01 decimation agreed
23:01 asciilifeform easiest to move to custom si.
23:01 decimation indeed
23:02 decimation a high-end fgpa would be perfectly capable of passing full pipe of signed packets
23:03 asciilifeform other nice thing about signed packets is that it no longer matters where they came from.
23:03 asciilifeform can be another link.
23:03 asciilifeform or shortwave.
23:03 asciilifeform or courier.
23:04 decimation or usb stick in a box
23:04 kakobrekla so we are still were we were.
23:04 kakobrekla where
23:04 asciilifeform kakobrekla: folks suggested assbot having a synchronized copy of gribble's wot
23:04 asciilifeform kakobrekla: and opening the gates using it
23:05 kakobrekla and you dont like it cause double auth for rating
23:05 asciilifeform kakobrekla: this would not require nanotube making any change to gribble, but would add an annoying extra step of having to auth a second time for rating
23:05 asciilifeform aha
23:05 asciilifeform me? i don't care
23:05 PeterL how often do you rate people?
23:05 asciilifeform but i imagine some of the folks here would be annoyed
23:05 asciilifeform if only out of principle
23:06 asciilifeform 'we do not go through weird gymnastics on account of terrorists' or the like
23:06 decimation ultimately this could just move the problem to #bitcoin-otc or something
23:06 PeterL and it will not be an extra step to rate people when he makes the changes he suggested
23:06 asciilifeform let's see what mircea thinks when he gets back from his atomic dirigible voyage or wherever
23:07 decimation although one wonders why mr. spam targets this channel instead of -otc
23:07 decimation seems like there would be more likely targets there
23:07 asciilifeform decimation: i can't picture forgoing a cockroach repellent simply because it may move the roaches to your neighbour
23:07 decimation for shakedown
23:07 PeterL people who matter are here, not there?
23:07 decimation asciilifeform: indeed

23:24 BingoBoingo undata: Yeah, they labeled their thing "The Machine"
23:24 BingoBoingo last year
23:24 undata how vague
23:25 asciilifeform 'His team aims to complete an operating system designed for The Machine, called Linux++...'
23:25 asciilifeform ^ c/unix/extant turdolade
23:26 asciilifeform snore.
23:26 asciilifeform i don't care if it's made out of unicorn tears.
23:27 asciilifeform !up undata
23:28 decimation I think they developed some kind of persistant hybrid ram/flash storage
23:28 kakobrekla core memory on chip?
23:28 * BingoBoingo would like to rip all of the memory out of "The Machine" and air drop it to asciilifeform in 2010 with a duffelbag full of money
23:28 * undata stops being lazy and auths
23:28 asciilifeform decimation: not hybrid, if their literature is to be believed, but rather a 'flash' fast and durable enough to substitute for dram entirely
23:29 BingoBoingo ^ Durable fast flash
23:29 asciilifeform decimation: but it will be wasted on 1970s garbage os
23:29 decimation asciilifeform: whether it is this or another thing, the difference between filesystems and memory will soon be abolished
23:29 decimation indeed
23:29 asciilifeform decimation: it was already abolished on 'palm pilot'
23:29 asciilifeform big whoop.
23:29 asciilifeform as if this were enough to be interesting.
23:29 PeterL "In particular, the company needs to perfect a new form of computer memory based on an electronic component called a memristor" << so, they just need to figure out how to make the core feature work, then they are all set!
23:29 decimation but that's not multi-threaded!
23:30 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Palm V and I have great memories. My only regret is that PalmV and TI-89 never traded the best of their aspects
23:30 asciilifeform the real boojum is that c/unix/von neumann crapolade cannot abide the constraint of never-reboot.
23:30 * undata predicts there will just be drivers that establish one part of ram as a ramdisk
23:30 undata and it will be linux as usual
23:30 asciilifeform undata: 100% certain
23:31 decimation agreed
23:31 asciilifeform or there'd be no talk of google or arsebook etc. taking it up
23:31 decimation poettering will even make it auto-detect laptop flash-ram-whatever automatically
23:31 PeterL "but that is how we have always done programming!"
23:32 asciilifeform BingoBoingo had a ti-89 ?
23:32 * asciilifeform misplaced both of his, is contemplating getting another
23:32 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Yeah. I liked it too
23:32 decimation sadly hp has denegrated the proud hp line
23:32 BingoBoingo And then I sold it for booze money freshman year of college
23:32 decimation hp-48 rpn calcs
23:33 BingoBoingo decimation: Poettering is why horses invented the wagon wheel
23:33 * asciilifeform ought to sell his hp-16c
23:33 asciilifeform can then buy a crate full of ti
23:34 BingoBoingo lolololololol
23:34 decimation asciilifeform: you aren't an rpn fan?
23:34 asciilifeform i am
23:34 decimation or you just find the hp collectors amusing?
23:34 asciilifeform http://www.thimet.de/CalcCollection/Calculators/HP-16C/HP-16C-M.JPG
23:34 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1wRyYeb )
23:35 asciilifeform i actually like the simplicity of it
23:35 decimation holy crap they go for like $100-300
23:35 asciilifeform and the never-delay-after-keypress
23:35 asciilifeform usually north of 200 usd
23:35 decimation it's pretty much the most lispy calc ever made
23:35 asciilifeform 16c? hardly
23:36 asciilifeform 48 - sure
23:36 decimation well, 38/48
23:36 asciilifeform the history of the 16c is interesting, imho
23:37 asciilifeform its very existence presumes that people program on paper, far from a computer
23:37 decimation was that the one that was popular with the finance types?
23:37 asciilifeform no.
23:37 decimation the annoying thing to me (growing up on a -48) was that the 16 only displayed one stack element at a time
23:38 asciilifeform that was 12c
23:38 asciilifeform (financial)
23:38 decimation ah
23:38 asciilifeform it, interestingly, is still produced!
23:38 asciilifeform they're dirt-common and i have one also.
23:39 asciilifeform 16c vanished with the age of programming-on-paper.
23:39 decimation HP has recently conspired with the 'testing' folks to create a dumbed-down 'modern' version: http://ncees.org/exams/calculator-policy/
23:39 assbot NCEES: Calculator policy ... ( http://bit.ly/1C6b3MK )
23:40 asciilifeform of what is the 33/35s a dumber version ?
23:40 decimation well, it kinda does stack oriented calculation, but isn't a fully programmable calc like the -48
23:40 decimation I guess because 'cheating' or something
23:41 * BingoBoingo got TI-89 soley because of test policy
23:41 BingoBoingo The first time...
23:41 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: what test ?
23:42 decimation yeah it would be interesting to know about a test that allows ti-89
23:42 asciilifeform decimation: there is a tradition in u.s. schools where folks can bring calculators to exams where they are known to be of no use
23:42 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: The AP-Calc AB test. There was a class training for it, but the local recommendation was anything TI preferably 83. I read and saw -89 with the CAS and decided fuck that.
23:43 decimation asciilifeform: that was how much undergrad was
23:43 asciilifeform decimation: calculator is a kind of child's 'security blanket' (psychiatric term of art)
23:43 decimation calculators don't help you cheat much on a three question engineering exam where you show full work
23:44 asciilifeform for all i know, they let students use laptop now, on exam.
23:44 BingoBoingo I got the calculator realizing that I was not buying it to use as a calculator, but as a standards conforming computer in a particular scenario
23:46 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: still use it, now that no exams ?
23:47 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: As mentioned kept it till college and sold it for intoxicants
23:47 asciilifeform aha
23:47 BingoBoingo Would like to buy another
23:47 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: ever 'overclock' ti-series machines for chums when in school ?
23:47 * asciilifeform did
23:47 BingoBoingo But in math classes at college calculators were rather useless
23:48 BingoBoingo I overclocked a couple for people who had pirate Z80 (gameboy) games
23:48 * asciilifeform still has a small box of the variable capacitors used for this, somewhere, deep beneath eons of dust
23:48 asciilifeform gameboy emulated on 89 (68k) or what
23:48 asciilifeform or somehow modded to run on 83-6 series
23:49 asciilifeform (which had actual z80, but nothing resembling nintendo's peripherals)
23:49 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3700 @ 0.00064085 = 2.3711 BTC [+]
23:50 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Gameboy was straight Z80
23:50 BingoBoingo Ran on calc with emulator if I remember right
23:50 asciilifeform hm.
23:50 BingoBoingo *89 though was 68 k
23:51 BingoBoingo and I dun remember what 83 series did
23:51 asciilifeform z80
23:51 asciilifeform iirc all ti graphical calculators but 89 and 92 models were z80 boxes.
23:52 * asciilifeform once owned a 85, then 86, then two separate incarnations of (68k) 89
23:52 * asciilifeform never had the others
23:52 BingoBoingo *86 seems appealing on case aesthetics
23:52 decimation the original hp48 had great design
23:52 asciilifeform it was more or less an 85 with extra ram
23:53 decimation then the hp49 was a lousy ti knockoff (chassis-wise) but the software was excellent
23:53 decimation the hp48 was very close to being the original portable computing gadget
23:54 decimation for awhile there was an active usenet group swapping warez
23:55 asciilifeform the uninitiated wonder 'why program hp48 today'
23:55 asciilifeform reasons are all described in my 'bed laptop' thread.
23:55 mats 22:36:46 <+decimation> given how obvious this flaw is, one wonders why no one has undertaken to fix it << some #freenode regulars (may have been staff, i don't recall) claim that default cloaks interfere with channel moderation
23:55 asciilifeform mats: pre-crypto dark age.
23:55 decimation the obvious fix would be to hash ip addresses with a private salt
23:55 asciilifeform mats: relying on stone knives, bear skins, ip for authentication
23:56 mats something about being unable to wholesale ban /16
23:56 decimation lol why would that be needed?
23:56 mats yes, i suggested this, but then it became 'there are a host of other ways to compel privacy leak'
23:56 decimation and if such a custom requirement were needed, why not add as a filter in front of the irc daemon
23:56 mats without explanation.
23:56 asciilifeform hp48 etc << hold in one hand in bed? yes! run on set of batteries for half a year - yes! usable outdoors - yes!
23:56 decimation asciilifeform: exactly
23:57 asciilifeform now if there were a computer answering these - then i would buy.
23:57 decimation there are even reasonable text readers available
23:57 decimation I remember using one in my high school, running sgp4 to predict satellites rising
23:57 decimation plus there were some excellent games
23:57 mats i for one would like to know what these other methods are. there was a vague finger wag at attacking services
23:58 asciilifeform mats: among the most elementary 'leak' is links
23:58 decimation yeah if someone hacked a freenode server, game over obviously
23:58 decimation but presuming that isn't the case, there is no reason to freely share ips
23:58 decimation twitter, facebook, google, etc all connect millions of users are many servers without this
23:59 mats commence discussion on how to design an ircd resistant to these problems.
