09:41 mircea_popescu http://archive.is/R55fd << check it out, peter surda is "saddened" by "the great bitcoin blocksize debate". you know, the march 2017 version of it, that is pre the fucking of bitcvoin crash and post the fucking of usgavin. somewhere in between.
09:41 mircea_popescu but THEN the fucktarded imbecile with thoroughly unwarranted delusions of relevancy and independence somehow magically omits to spend the intervening six months sucking the cock of the winning camp.
09:42 mircea_popescu because he has this option, in his dumb head, he may pick and choose. and this alternate strategy of "picking winners" in the sense of "i'll only condescend to be defeated if i like the idea, and otherwise pretend nothing happened" totally works! it's a viable alt-strategy that leads straight to personal importance and relevancy!!1

10:36 mircea_popescu rewrite needed.
10:36 asciilifeform verily
10:36 mircea_popescu also, ima jungle today, might not have the patience to cut up patch for sat dish.
10:36 asciilifeform it strikes me as the archetypical 'dividing the skin of an unkilled bear' , BingoBoingo
10:37 asciilifeform jungle << neato
10:37 asciilifeform give my regards to the ocelot.
10:38 mircea_popescu dja see teh crocs ?
10:38 asciilifeform i did ! but will nitpick, i indeed have stared in the mouth of a living croc
10:38 mircea_popescu this is no nitpick! good for you!
10:38 asciilifeform wasn't in genuine cocastan tho : we had a travelling exhibit, with plexiglass trailers etc, fiddybux a ticket.
10:39 asciilifeform i find it interesting how the apparatus of the crocodilians is mechanically put together
10:39 asciilifeform essentially a bear trap made of flesh and bone
10:40 mircea_popescu nah. crocodile, notwithstanding is hardly a reptile, more a bird/dinosaur, is actually quite intelligent.
10:40 asciilifeform it 'winds' for as long as 20-30sec, before it can be 'sprung'; and during this interval, theoretically a man can hold it closed and prevent the 'spring' from winding, with one hand. but asciilifeform was not permitted into the crocodilarium to verify this truism.
10:40 mircea_popescu has cerebral cortex even. did you know it traps birds ?
10:40 asciilifeform same as we trap birds ?
10:40 mircea_popescu at all points duct tape can keep it shut. the opening muscles are very weak indeed. the closing muscles however... 50kN, like fucking metal press.
10:40 asciilifeform it flies in, snaps ?
10:40 mircea_popescu asciilifeform nah.
10:40 asciilifeform it's exactly a mousetrap aha
10:41 asciilifeform but how birds ?
10:41 mircea_popescu what it does is htis : 1. it knows when bird nesting season is because 2. this means twigs are scarce so 3. constructs an arrangement of twigs on its nose
10:41 asciilifeform this is pretty neat. i had nfi.
10:42 mircea_popescu it generally understands animal behaviour. such as times to water and etc.
10:42 asciilifeform for a beast that cannot chew -- it gotta
10:43 mircea_popescu they actually have a sort of team-chew implemented.

12:11 asciilifeform either that, or make use of past 100 yrs of tactic re anti-triangulation : e.g. a) radio doesn't live next to your earthly carcass, controlled remotely b) radio is not 1 emitter, but synchronized chorus ( see saddam's jammer thread) c) radio dun look like a radio, but like 'defective' appliance plausibly d ) use imagination
12:11 asciilifeform not to mention that it doesn't particularly need to transmit more than a few sec/day.

12:13 trinque sure, there was a guy in highschool cruising around in a pirate radio van
12:14 asciilifeform wholly different item, and trivially, cheaply quashed with 1930s tech
12:14 asciilifeform continuously transmitting loud point source == target.
12:15 trinque point's less the efficacy of the approach but rather, loud point source didn't get squashed
12:15 trinque small, intermittent, moving one, much better
12:15 asciilifeform there was a fly in my house earlier and also didn't get squashed.
12:16 asciilifeform but if you set up a tower and start pumping 100kW into it, just about anywhere on planet, folx will show up to ask questions
12:17 asciilifeform and unless you have artillery salvo with which to answer these questions, adventure will be short.
12:21 asciilifeform asciilifeform finds it more than a little puzzling how little of past 30y of cheap cpu, has been put to use in advancing illicit radio -- where is the dc-to-daylight cryptospreadspectrum pirate ? why idjits still on fixed frequencies, like it were 1930s today ?
12:21 asciilifeform ( it is conceivable that such a thing exists but wholly outside of asciilifeform's light cone, note. )

22:31 lobbes while probably elementary to most here, I just discovered that I can send POST requests with curl. One single line! The simple joys of n00bdom.
22:31 lobbes anywho, that was the piece of the puzzle I needed to solve for this 'stop-gap' archive solution. I'ma start putting these pieces together. Will keep everyone posted
22:32 trinque great lobbes
22:33 trinque curl can do just about any http-ment you want, manpage is your friend
22:34 lobbes powerful tool, I'm finally starting to grok
22:36 lobbes ultimately, my plan is that lobbesbot will just store urls to-be-archived in a database. A separate process will do the submitting/downloading of zip to/from archive.is. Whenever a better www-to-zip comes along I can just switch out the later process with it
22:37 doppler very handy that it can handle url-encoding, etc. too
22:40 trinque lobbes: decoupling sounds wise to me
22:41 trinque archiver process breaks, can fix, restart, keep munching on work queue
22:41 trinque all of deedbot's connected services work in that manner
22:44 lobbes I've always admired the 'keep data and code as separate as possible' approach you take trinque. From what I can grok, that is
22:44 lobbes makes sense at least
22:45 lobbes has been in-line with some meat-world mentors I was blessed to have
22:46 lobbes anyways, for the wotpastes specifically, I plan to download and store those myself from the get-go (and NOT route them through archive.is), seeing as those are easily 'flagged' due to the predictable url. To alf's point, even if archive.is stays up, diddling is always a threat. Any bits I can do without it now is +ev imo
22:51 mod6 <+trinque> curl can do just about any http-ment you want, manpage is your friend << aha
