02:03 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo eh, alcohol is expensive and doesn't exist. he's safe.
02:04 hanbot mircea_popescu oh yeah, neat
02:04 BingoBoingo Eh, there's no drunk worse than a dry drunk
02:04 mircea_popescu as the old "there's no rot worse than dry rot" ?
02:05 BingoBoingo Yeah. Companion phrase is "The second best treatment for the alcoholic problems is booze"
02:07 BingoBoingo Without the drinking to forget, all that remains is a big meatsack full of resentments.
02:08 mircea_popescu well... it's complicated.
02:08 BingoBoingo It is
02:11 BingoBoingo But, returning to DC swamp food desert what do alf tastes have to look forward to? How does one cope? Does alf go to distilled water and grain alcohol diet?

02:26 lobbes fwiw in the short-term, I may have lobbesbot start archiving wotpastes only and host them to my personal www
02:28 lobbes seems like that's been the main (only?) demand so far: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729991
02:28 a111 Logged on 2017-10-27 22:13 mod6: and it was pretty nifty that it had archived all of the pastes.
02:32 lobbes if anything: redundancy. And if in x $time trinque's vision becomes realized I'll be ready to relay whatever I got
02:33 mod6 there's also a few other things mentioned in the thread above.
02:34 lobbes true. pdf converter top-priority
02:34 mod6 yeah, kinda interesting little project there.
02:35 lobbes hmm. I'm sure it is above my skill, but so was everything else I've done here before I did it

02:58 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730021 << archive.is is a (not esp. reliable, and easily, often, blocked by enemy) central point of failure, and to put further pressure on it is screaming lunacy
02:58 a111 Logged on 2017-10-27 22:28 mircea_popescu: the principal impediment to republican logging, atm, is that nobod yucan be arsed to write a html de-fucker ; there is one already written, by the archive.is dood, which spits out zips. the solutions then are either a) piggyback on that, which alf has (irresponsibly) been trying to obstruct throughout, and in the laughablest of manners or else b) make own, which will without exception require making own, and RIGHT NOW, not "n
02:58 asciilifeform 'let's fetch all of our links via one ip' how is that alone not batshit and invitation for diddles.
02:59 lobbes plus, one day archive.is will be gone overnight
03:00 asciilifeform and author did ~not~ write 'html defucker', by all indications he has a headless browser which infects just like other graphical wwwtrons and is public toilet
03:00 asciilifeform lobbes: and yes, it will
03:01 asciilifeform and even if it stays up, author is a wotless heathen, can be relied on to, e.g., supply logs to enemy, insert boobytraps , lose or modify stored material, one day.
03:02 asciilifeform while the thing stays up and appears to work, it is spottily useful, like google cache et al. but to suggest to build it permanently into infrastructure is nonsense, and i can only assume mircea_popescu had a strong bottle when suggested it
03:04 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730023 << pdf decrufter is similar item to graphical-www archiver, it is turing-complete op, and requires either absolutely correct soft (e.g. adatronic 100%) or sacrificial publictoilet iron.
03:04 a111 Logged on 2017-10-27 22:29 mircea_popescu: thatg aside, the more pressing problem is that we don't have a proper pdf-decrufter, (random moron with delusions of self-impoirtance failed to be useful, as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that.
03:06 asciilifeform fwiw i have one for publictoilet iron, it's a few line of bash, spits out result similar to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707238

03:06 asciilifeform the problem is where to host, if publicly accessible it needs potentially massive bandwidth, and if not public, is a fucking pain ( i won't be entering pw or whatever nonsense every time i want to click a link, wtf )
03:09 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730032 << it's as reliable as the lift in a sov apt block
03:09 a111 Logged on 2017-10-27 22:48 mircea_popescu: wrt to scriba's archiving : it appears to be on now, and working since yesterday (26th). it did not work in the interval 10-25 october ; nor in the interval 2-8 october (limits included). so it for instance included http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729704 but not http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-25#1728494 and so following.
03:10 asciilifeform and as specifically-diddlable as if we were all to ride one particular lift every morning.
03:12 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730047 << i sat down to write something quite similar, and then realized that i can milk a remote node for its rsa privkey via timing , lol. but fast forward to today. ffa still on track for release for end of nov. btw.
03:12 a111 Logged on 2017-10-27 23:12 trinque: anybody recall directconnect? probably closer to what the thing oughta look like than say gnutella, but with a hierarchy of nodes instead of connecting to one station.
03:14 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730037 << am i the only 1 for whom spending btc feels moar like selling organs than spending money, tho
03:14 a111 Logged on 2017-10-27 22:54 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729970 << this is an altogether dubious point. magnolia went south IN SPITE of paying customers, through operator ineptitude.
03:16 asciilifeform at this point i am only willing to spend it on capital goodz ( i.e. where i have pretty solid notion that it can bring back the spent coin )
03:18 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-28#1730050 << from where comes this idea ? just because it strips js ? it'll do 0 against, e.g., an overflow in jpeg renderer
03:18 a111 Logged on 2017-10-28 00:29 mircea_popescu: the great advantage of current archival mechanism is that it powerwashes the targets.
03:23 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-28#1730112 << gotta liquidate my earthly goods, study moar ro-fu, and yes, pile up moar fuel for 1st stage of rocket

03:24 a111 Logged on 2017-10-28 06:03 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo eh, alcohol is expensive and doesn't exist. he's safe.

03:26 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: "Booze" cheap, pure grain alcohol not quite as
03:27 asciilifeform for what do i need this again ?
03:27 BingoBoingo because US lacks edible food now
03:27 asciilifeform it always lacked it, lol
03:28 lobbes asciilifeform> am i the only 1 for whom spending btc feels moar like selling organs than spending money, tho << this is a pretty spot-on description to my experience anytime I part with my btc
03:28 BingoBoingo But now more acutely for you, having done Rokatu trip on sub MP budget
03:29 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: this is not first expedition for asciilifeform
03:30 asciilifeform btw BingoBoingo you could live like normal person for 20bux/d here; and like royalty for 50 . ( caveat : it's a natostan and usg-occupied in the east, naturally. tho you wouldn't be able to tell with naked eye. )

08:57 mircea_popescu ey.
08:59 mircea_popescu (the figure was obtained through going "well, actual storage cost is 0.3 satoshi / MB as per http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730008 ; obviously other than storage there's also costs to dld and amortize the code, and some margin, so whatever, 1 / MB)
08:59 a111 Logged on 2017-10-27 22:19 mircea_popescu: anyway, storage is about 2 fiatcents aka 300 or so satoshi per gb
09:00 mircea_popescu lobbes you can also collate all these, only invoice > x sum for each user. you already have the infrastructure for that from auctions anyway.
09:01 mircea_popescu at first some stress testing will surely be welcome ; but on the long term can't flood trinque with 1 satoshi bills.
