 Finished Dune 2. 
My conclusion: overrated. Meh. 
 lol, unrealistic plot

i read the book first, and i've read it again a couple of years ago and it's one of the most true versions in video yet... the tv mini series was pretty good too

lol, unrealistic... in an imaginary universe where people have weapons that amplify the power of their voice and there is a drug in the shit of a giant worm living on a desert planet that lets you create a wormhole between two places and allows you to practically achieve immortality

just sounds like someone who's been raised on Marvel to me 
 haha, amused to see you also respond so strongly to this silly assessment of a far out fantasy science fiction plot

they should read the book if they loved how far out the story is in the maybe most accurate film version to date

it isn't necessary to have taken mushrooms or DMT to get the story but it helps 
 backing up my files rn, because probably i don't want to lose these things

but as i'm backing up the "target" directories of rust builds, i'm thinking maybe i should actually exclude those fackin things... literally over half an hour writing just one for the aptos blockchain repo... the damn disk is writing like 300mb/s what the fuck is this shit lol

idk if i cbf writing some fancy one liner to find and grep and filter this shit... i got the binaries built, i'm removing the damn target directories

#noedits 
 i think once someone has seen two cycles they are very inclined to believe they will repeat... this is my third, and now zero doubt remains 
 i totally have to get something set up here to attract #canaries... a little gang of canaries tweeting it up is one of the most pleasant things i experience on this island, they are such supreme little songsters

something i've noticed so far which is really pleasant about the new place... the wind is not as blustery here as it is in Sao Vicente... and actually i think overall the temperature is higher too, got all the windows open this morning, and so i can hear all the roosters and canaries and washer lady birds ticking away, and there is some other bird i have not heard which occasionally sings very loudly across the gully

i'm kinda guessing that the reason why is that sao vicente has a north-south channel through which wind can come straight up whereas here, it hits the mostly east-west landscape and doesn't flow over it well

anyhoo... i have to do some tutorials so i can comprehend this Move language

just want to express my lol again about how it's basically cut down #rust with no objects and numerous features that are just like #golang 
 #GM

time to post notes and write codes

 probably but since they depend on machines to do much of the work it's a crapshoot where they will send out agents 
 these are probably either the nasa polar satellite that got killed by a recent CME, or one of the starlink satellites btw

 maybe so, but pinkhairs and bluehairs might not be safe to date in any case... 

4B is the thing about swearing off relationships though... that became pretty big in south korea as a form of feminazi-protest

and there is way more feminazis around these days than when i was a teen, that's for sure

feminism is a mind control cult 
 @ChipTuner

your noscrypt library has ECDH in it right? you built it off the github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1 library?

i currently have my code reverting to the btcec library because i couldn't get it to work right (was using the Y coordinate) but i would quite like to have the faster ECDH function as well, for actual high throughput encryption (a noise protocol suite, to be exact, i started one, but this is a bottleneck in it) 
 i just need the first, and it's not specific to nip-44, it's a standard pub/priv ECDH just that it's X only

i will amend my version so i have access to it

i already determined that one-shot sender secrets can get 8mb/s throughput on the btcec library, if the math is much the same as the signatures then it's gonna be 32mb/s possible throughput on a noise-protocol style of symmetric encryption (just to repeat, that is with generating a new secret to send with, and deriving the ECDH shared secret to use with whatever (i was using AES-CTR at the time because i was using the schnorr signature of the one-time generated secret as the HMAC) 
 yes that's the one, thanks! 
 i can literally copy that into my own code in cgo comment blocks and use it that way... i will do this later, thanks for pointing me to it

also just maybe to mention, ECDH is an essential function for writing such as a custom noise protocol suite

i started poking at making one that uses the SIMD sha256 and x-only signatures a while back, removing the AES and not using chacha20 or whatever, a custom CTR style block cipher stream 
 tonight i learned that liberal bitches are swearing off relationships (won't need any abortions then i guess?) and talking about poisoning maga boys

i'm sure that very few will actually go through with this hysterical bullshit but as if you needed any further motivations to stay the fuck away from psychotic feminazi bitches anyway... oh, now they want to lure you into their bowers and get you to drink fucking hemlock or something

seriously

is it time to suggest that maybe there is a problem with something in the water and food supply creating these unhinged lunatics or? 
 that's also partly because they are expecting to be taken out to fancy restaurants and shit and nobody has any money 
 it's also an interesting example of a mainstream social media silo amplifying toxic behaviour too 
 this is so awesome

 i'd say prince's estate will also sue you lol 
 of all the people i would randomly see up the road at the supermarket while i am deciding to randomly go pick up a bag of charcoal and some wine, i bumped into my former neighbours

they run a little grocery store in the centre of sao vicente and are the ones with the fucking 3 chihuahuas next to another noisy bitch ass toy dog that were the most unpleasant thing about living in that place for a year

funny though... to see them, of all people, out of everyone i already know from this region, my fucking neighbours

Do you have a bit to try ... 
 so if you do static binaries no problemo 
 this is never a problem with Go

only with everything else, basically literally everything else is a pain to build anything

the exception being when the Go code dependson C code, then it also sucks in the same way

and a lot of dumbasses in dev think "oh yeah i'll make my go project depend on make and shit" fucks sake 🤦‍♂️ they clearly did not get the whole point of the Go, everything compiles on it, static binary

the only possible excuse for not using pure Go code ever is generalyl hardware drivers, especially GPU libraries

even many of those have moved to fully supported no extra tooling

i tell everyone that #golang is the best, but nobody seems to want to listen, it really is... if you actually use the go tool and don't bullshit it up with C and C++ and FFI and rust and all that other fuckin inane bullshit that is irrelevant to fucking network servers 
 lol, idk what you are talking about, last time i recall working with btcd it was like 40mb binary and my own stuff rarely gets much past about 20mb... there is a 7mb baseline, ok, i'll grant you that

 
 i think Go binaries link to libc but that's itt

heres what it produces out of my code for the relay (this includes secp256k1 library:

mleku@iox:~/src/realy.lol/cmd/realy$ ls -lash realy
20M -rwxrwxr-x 1 mleku mleku 20M Nov 10 19:30 realy
mleku@iox:~/src/realy.lol/cmd/realy$ ldd realy
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007a310b5a6000)
        libsecp256k1.so.5 => /lib/libsecp256k1.so.5 (0x00007a310b448000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007a310b200000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007a310b5a8000)
 
 also, yes, it will be exactly the same as this except libsecp256k1

and i didn't realise i would have to distribute the binary with it this way... there is ways to make it pull all that in, but it is minimalistic, even so 
 i just need to clarify, it needs linux-vdso.so and libc.so.6 and ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

those are on all linux installations even the most minimal

it is possible to make it completely static with extra flags but that is default 
 the problem with dynamic linking is where to get the fucking DLLs to get out of DLL HELL

nothing has changed since that term was coined and the easiest solution is to go static

for 99% of go projects, that aren't using GPUs or specialised libraries like secp256k1 (which you can avoid, just costs you a 4x time cost for each signature/verification)

there is even now many libraries doing standard things like hex encoding and sha256 hash functions that use AVX or whatever it's called on ARM processors now... Go compiler also understands raw assembler 
 i generally use CC0 these days

simple = better

i do need to learn how to build my stuff purely static tho, damn... or at least to pull in that secp256k1 library to the binary so it runs on linux, good thing i didn't try to distribute a binary! 
 btw, default autotools compiles seem to make the static library... you get a .a, .la (which just points at the .a as its binary) and .so in maybe several versions - at least with libsecp256k1 it was

and so i was able to do this:

mleku@iox:~/src/realy.lol/cmd/realy$ ls -lash|grep realy
 23M -rwxrwxr-x 1 mleku mleku  23M Nov 10 20:16 realy
4.0K -rw-rw-r-- 1 mleku mleku  414 Oct 20 22:57 realy.service
mleku@iox:~/src/realy.lol/cmd/realy$ ldd realy
        not a dynamic executable

and you see, that only added 3mb to the size of the binary and i can distribute that and it will work on any system with glib2 on amd64 architecture 
 this is how i did it:

mleku@iox:~/src/realy.lol$ go build --ldflags '-extldflags "-static"' -o ~/bin/realy ./cmd/realy/.

 being that glibc has been at version 2 for like 20 years that's probably ok... and even if they do bump to a 3 there probably will be glib.so.2 libraries installed by default for a long time 
 Test note: I am writing this note using different designing fonts available in my phone keyboard ... 
 i think those are all unicode fonts... whether you see them or not depends on the font and whether your app can render these weird things

you see users with these fancy fonts in their display names all the time... on web browsers mostly the whole set is visible in the default fonts 
 i am still a bit shocked by how much better i feel now that my fridge isn't buzzing at me half the day 
 yeah, i don't mind air noises, just not clear tones... i'll pass on rumbles too... i get the strangest odd noises sometimes from upstairs of my new place... it's completely un-insulated and metal frame, so i guess it's probably caused by heat from the sun or air temperature outside

so long as there isn't a detectable dominant frequency in the sound and it's persistent it's easy to ignore 
 hopefully none of my neighbours will get the genius idea to adopt a fucking noisy 5" tall dog any time soon - the people over the back have two gorgeous cats that i see pottering around the path now and then and they sometimes gather for bbq and i hear them nattering away all afternoon but that's fine compared to chihuahuas lol

 wait, i seem to have quoted the wrong post 
 I'm done. I've literally tried every means and method of buying Bitcoin without providing identif... 
 by the nature of the time of the market, trading for fiat is not going to be quite as easy in the other 3 years we are not in

best way to get bitcoin at this time in the market is to ask it in trade for stuff, especially labor... the exmployer at this point is looking at it thinking "ooh, deflating asset, i'll buy that and then pay my worker with it" 
 i have this situation right now... even my employer has just flipped a bunch of shitcoins to bitcoin because pump, but what i gotta do to get a piece of that lol

well, it could be worse, but i have to psych myself to do this shit 
 well, i say, put your eggs in one basket, that is far away

i use xapo bank, based in Gibraltar, and i live in EU, they are UK, so it's two degrees of bullshit bureaucracy for the local extortionists to get the gist of what i'm doing... better than nothing i say

but thety are charging an arm and a leg for annual membership fee... $1000 now... so unless you are a tech worker like me where that is under 1/3 of my monthly pay ... not feasible

i'm not sure what problems you have been having with robosats... i found it worked ok, but you pretty much have to KYC with the revolut or whatever that you use with it

not gonna lie, it's very hard to do bitcoin trades without KYC, they have put guards on every gate

i remember the good old days of localbitcoins.com when i did many trades just based on reputation and in person with cash and watch them sign off on broadcasting a tx 
 haha yeah... so, i'm working on an arweave project until recently... and for curiosity i tried to buy some AR tokens

the most recommended vendor required KYC so i declined

less than two weeks later i get an email from them telling me their were hacked and heaps of people's KYC data was leaked

i don't blame anyone for not wanting to do KYC

there WILL be vendors out there in other jurisdictions seizing on this opportunity, but finding them, and being able to evaluate if you can trust them is gonna suck

but overall, in the next year i expect there will be such a strong demand for purchase of cryptos without KYC that at least one jurisdiction of note is going to open it up... maybe switzerland, at least, since they aren't EU 
 bitcoin atm is the second best option

usually the worst of it is authing to a mobile phone number

then you just go with cash if you are like me, saving in bitcoin

 https://fountain.fm/episode/UKarSXhlukc9aw3UWcEJ

i wanted to hear the stuff about red light and how light is emitted by our bodies

around 3 hours is some really interesting stuff

i had to open this with firefox to get it to play though... so maybe something i've added to brave has blocked it 
 omg... so by accident, this dude gets red light therapy, doesn't wear red light blocking glasses under the lamp, his bones heal up... and his eyes are fixed too

this is a nice anecdote, but i'm super seriously hot on red light therapy now 
 now also... omg

ok, not just the red light but also some UV

i remember in this book i read back in like 2003 about light, it recommended this light setup with a wide spectrum lamp and a UV A/B lamp associated with it

i also had experimented with light deprivation but in my space only red (620nm LEDs mostly) and i swear it started up ketosis faster.

 i'm with you on this... i smell bullshit, and then the idiots start to troll me in retaliation, i know i am dealing with bullshit... that's Nuh and Carvalho just the other day

i don't have "fun" trolling these people, i get really mad because they are clearly upset that i've cottoned on to the fact they are full of shit

it makes me back off from the forum some for a while because it's hard work when other people i'm following chime in and fall for the bullshit but i'm not gonna stop, i just might take a break, unfollow some idiots, and come back later and when i see it again, i'm gonna call it out again

i'd rather be dead than not say i smell bullshit

 also, this is essentially superstitious behaviour... she is essentially invoking the gods of the State to inflict another lockdown on us to control this behaviour she doesn't like, because she's been conditioned to be repulsed by it 
 one of my pet hates is noisy machines... it made me very happy when i found a way to make my pc quiet except when it's doing hard work - which is fine, but in my new place, the most irritating machine is the refrigerator

i had encountered this before, and the solution is stupidly simple

many refrigerators have a liquid catcher mounted above the compressor pump... usually, just standing on one bolt which makes for sertain that it's a little prone to wobbling, and then, when the compressor is running, the damn plastic shit rattles against the body of the compressor, making an incredibly loud noise... not styrene level noise but annoying as fuck and especially out of place in my current environment of ridiculously quiet, peaceful seaside, rural surrounds

well, the fix is simple... just get a bit of foam and jam it in underneath the water catcher doodle and bob's your uncle... ok maybe you don't have an uncle who is called robert but neither do i

the refirgerator is now down to a volume level that i barely even know its on except for a quiet hum no worse than some 140mm computer fans blowing at 2000rpm, inaudible with even quiet music on

i hate refrigerators... when i finally come to building my own place, the compressor is going to be sited outside of the space where i live, built custom out of the building itself and enclosed behind a very well sealed space with ventilation for keeping the cooling fins nice and ventilated, and inaudible in the kitchen space

the level of sound that is called "quiet" by most washing machine and refrigerator manufacturers is a joke, and most of the time it's been so bad that the only way to get quiet in my bedroom was to actually close the door, and even then i could hear it through the cracks

sucks having hyperacuity, but at least there is solutions... in this case, just little bits of foam, and done 
 damn thing isn't loading for me on fountain

i first heard of this guy ~2012, and i was preloaded with stuff about light medicine

what i was most interested in hearing about was the red light repairing vision thing

i'm just about to have a pair of 10W 620nm LED light strips to give me night light instead of the evil phosphor coated UV LEDs that my new place has all through it... i'm wondering if this classic LED wavelength is has this benefit also... and if not i would love to know where i can get E17s that have a suitable red frequency to replace all the lamps (i have 4 at this size) so my whole place can be lit up nice 
 oh, actually i have 6 sockets in my place that i want to have good red lights on 
 anyhow, i know what to look for now 
 that's not education... you probably won't be surprised that i decided i probably was better off because it probably wasn't gonna get much better in a university 
 a society built on this kind of "education" system would never have produced computers and the internet

the most advanced society in the soviet block in this regard was Bulgaria, a country full of outlaws and geeks, and they had the most advanced PC hardware back in the 80s - clones of the apple 2 and z80 zx zpectrum lol 
 the only mistake i made was not getting the fuck out of the country the moment i had that dutch passport in my hands at age 27

between then and age 36 my life was at a standstill, i made no progress at stacking cash, didn't get married, it was just shit... and that's what i mean when i say australia is a socialist country, and every place socialism is entrenched, there is no economic mobility and no real innovation in science

even the japanese are less socialist than australia

 took my phone out on my walk to the shop this morning... so i decided to take a photo of the view above/behind my place

and the most important item i acquired on my shopping visit, cost me 90 euro-pesos

https://cdn.satellite.earth/64f89d0403c8e0b99d80e72a72a812feccb17c814ac80f439c90e2020cb5261d.jpg

it needs to thaw out and i think i'll need to cut it up into 3 or so and put two in the freezer again (that's ok isn't it? idk, i don't have a saw to cut this thing up when frozen and i'm thawing it in a refrigerator) and then i'll be cutting it up into cube-shaped chunks to stick on a skewer and roast over glowing coals in my bbq

so looking forward to that, i haven't played with fire in a long time 
 haha, for the moment, it seems there is a stash of crappy recycled stuff that i'm not real fond of the look of... tbh, i dun wannan... better i get some charcoal i think

but what i would like is a bunch of seasoned eucalyptus wood, that would be perfect, plenty of it around, i just don't know where to get my hands on it... i see it stacked up by the side of the road here and there 
 some kinds are, like ironbark, but the kinds that are common around here are pretty ordinary... they use them as power poles a lot... and you don't need to split them, just cut up sections about 2 feet long, that's the standard for madeira bbq, and anyway, you don't actually put your skewers of beef over top of it until it's only coals left

most of the stuff i see stashed under the spit looks ok, just a few bits look a bit too new and probably funky... literally going to go up to the shop right now to get charcoal because tbh i'd rather not have formaldehyde spiced beef chunks... this slab will be soft enough to cut by tomorrow and i plan on having some 
 update on the giant slab of beef

it's about 5kg, supposedly, seems about right, and it comes from uraguay... i ended up cutting it into roughly 8 equal pieces and expect i'll eat one of these each time in a meal... got a big sack of charcoal ready to go because frankly i'm just not going there with wood that has been recycled unless it's so old it's full of termite tunnels

it's a cut that is usually made into what they call in brazil "picanha" 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picanha

according to the diagram, it's the part above the tail over top of the lower spine

incredibly large, i mean, tbh i'm not sure if it is actually picanha but some other part of the back leg area, about 80cm in length... 

anyhow, i'm sure it will be marvellous when i slice up the segments into 2" wide chunks, probably will get like 8 pieces out of each 1/8th of the whole piece, and roast them on two skewers, liberally salted with grey unrefined sea salt and diced garlic squished between the chunks on the skewer, and grilled over glowing hot charcoal

shit, i'm really getting a hankering to get out in the bbq and make this happen poste haste 
 meh, that's what i thought too but i handled it as cleanly as i could and i figure worst case i get gastro for a day but i am dubious about that anyway, when you consider that they seal up cuts in tallow and sit them in room temperature for a month as part of a common type of aging process for steaks... and i think of what was depicted in the game The Ghost of Tsushima with the mongols hanging slabs of meat around in their tent in warm temperate conditions of a japanese island in summertime

there's a lot of fud around beef, i'm just gonna take my chances since i'm roasting this stuff over charcoal anyway... at minimum there will be some good char in it that will counteract some of the problem, if i do get sick i'll just cook the rest well done 
 and, oh yeah... this beef has pretty good marbling... it's not wagyu level but better than anything i've seen on this island to date 
 I miss the ease of movement in the netherlands. Ease of daily living. Being able to walk or bike ... 
 i wonder at the state of the ins and outs of small local retailers these days, like, how do they pay their workers

it's not that travel has got cheap, it's just that it's got less expensive as fast as other stuff

i see this trend here especially in madeira where transport is naturally more expensive... the cost of fuel and the wear on brakes and cylinders is way above your typical flatland anywhere else on the planet

you can't even get groceries delivered here because of how high the transport cost is, and somehow everyone is driving cars around... and a great proportion of them are fuming up the air with leaky rings from compression braking on the way down the hills, and i've confirmed with a few people that they have to take their car to the shop more often to replace the brake pads and discs

and it's not hard to notice the number of now defunct retail venues around the place, i'd guess that for every operational retailer on this island, there is 2 or maybe 3 closed places nearby, everywhere

i think that the price of doing business has simply shut down these more marginal operations, and this has led to people using cars to go further... and the government funded building all these tunnels that bypass everything, and ... idk, i think there is some kind of car-centric mentality being deliberately propagated (i have thought this for a long time) in order to reap a tax gain at the federal level, and it's is almost consistently a federal operation, the licensure and forced insurance scams of road transport

it's also killed rail in many countries, bulgaria hasn't quit rail but serbia pretty much de facto has, and built all these ugly shitty highways instead, and you ask the local people they all miss the trains 
 now that i have found a way to silence the wifi on my connection, here is some clear demonstration of the benefits of not using wireless connections

my connection naked, via my ISP based in funchal:

and over my VPN, amusingly enough, connected automatically via morocco (which is one of the places cables go to from here, it's only 500km):

pleased to see that my kinda expensive VPS service does indeed do gigabit speeds and as such carries most of the capacity of my line through my VPS that i have here

seriously mad though, i mean, 500mbit download speed... who is even going to use that? that's more than you need for 4k video streaming... 

it's no wonder i have no problems hosting my relay for testing on these connections... the one at my previous place though, it did not have this much speed download, i think it was around 200Mbit

so i pay 50 euro less per month, get almost perfect nature silence most of the time except when the dogs are barking at the cats around sunset, and occasionally cars drive past, and there is sometimes tourists wandering past on their way to the arco de sao jorge hiking trail, and i think some stray dogs do a patrol past here... and my internet is more than 2x faster

ok i've doubled my housing cost for 5 weeks but this is so much better

the sound of the creek down in the gully and the ebb and flow of the sound of the ocean smacking against the rocks is so soothing  
 yeah, it's pretty awesome right? 
 This is all I can do at this point:

 i mean default to "show original"

fiatjaf is right that it increases the complexity of the protocol, but fundamentally if every edit post or diff update refers to the OP of the thread, a filter that just searches for the op itself and all events that put an "e" tag to that event will find the whole thread in one simple two part filter 
 haha...

nah, i have an idea though... the edits should appear as a series of sliders, so it shows the original first, and when you slide it, it shows what branches off from it... this way everything stays in context and the "no edits" and the anti-change-after-lots-of-share scam effect is weakened

if people edit, then you just click/swipe left to see the newer versions and it updates the children of that post

also consider the problem that happens when someone mentions a post, and then it gets materially changed like what you talked about... the interface should show the one that is linked, and this could be an after-original update, so if i boost your second version, in my boost post it shows the second version, but if i were to boost the original, it shows the original

retaining the context is really important i think... and allowing viewers to see the old versions is also a good thing, keeps people honest 
 i like that a lot... let's get hzrd149 to implement it on nostrudel 
 as in, show whichever version is referred to in a boost/embed/quote, but show the slider arrows and make it a "slider" so on touch interfaces it can be swiped left and right, like one of those stupid time scroller things that are popular for landing pages, and make one setting "show original or show newest" in the settings and respect that in the display when the original is referred to... so if someone wants to see the newest, it shows the newest, but when you swipe, it changes the tree underneath it as well 
 it can do both! 
 yup, it's just a new dimension for chat threads, that's all

better than some bullcrap about redacting your own bullshit
