Mocky: reminds me of 29 palms california. I guess desert pretty much the same everywhere
 ☟︎ Mocky: yeah mircea_popescu, your level of text output needs a boost...
 Mocky: cloudfront 504 on that link atm
 Mocky: asciilifeform, ok thx
 Mocky: a lot of sites are blocked in qatar and i don't know if I'll need it but I'd like to run a web proxy on my pizarro shared hosting just in case. can someone make a recommendation? do I need something like tinyproxy or squid, or is there a way to do it without installing anything?
 ☟︎☟︎ Mocky: ok but if size matches still have to attempt decryption even if contains garbage?
 Mocky: 1472 is what i've used in the past
 Mocky: well including udp header, like 1470 to 1480 of payload available
 Mocky: I'd expect frag and auto reassemble to work well in low volume conditions
 Mocky: 16k packet -> 1500 MTU
 Mocky: e.g. attacker floods with packet frags prevents legitimate frags from ever being reassembled, instead silently dropped, server is none the wiser
 Mocky: frag reassembly in-program can use a buffer of specified size, just as is done externally. so excess chunk memory overhead is known up front
 Mocky: if you accept 16k new-acct packets seems just as easy to 
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-02#1857229 but further, if you rely on external frag-reassm it's even easier for attacker to prevent you from accepting *any* new account packets
 ☝︎ Mocky: asciilifeform, well even partial refresh on every key press isn't ideal with eink, which 'editing in place' could be greatly reduced, but perhaps crackpot idea
 Mocky: imo current eink refresh rate wants applications that have slightly different display semantics than what we have today which is based on 'full screen refresh has no cost'
 ☟︎ Mocky: yes but two types of redraw, one hard blanks out rect and then draws (amounts to 2 redraws), the other attempts update
 Mocky: plus full screen redraw not always necessary depending on how quickly 'artifact pixels' accumulate with local redraws
 Mocky: or who can balance but nagged into extra stability wheel
 Mocky: can-am's, trikes for old bikers who can't balance on two wheels anymore with bertha on the back
 Mocky: driving down the street in the middle of austin like he owned the place
 Mocky: made me think of 'British PM fucks pig on live TV' from black mirror
 Mocky: it does break the comparison. but I still don't see it
 Mocky: but i imagine few who go into brothel and get paid by the whores
 Mocky: it's been a hell of a lot of me paying them and scant them paying me
 Mocky: at&t. they gave me the phone and I pay monthly. interest free loan basically
 ☟︎ Mocky: re unlocking phone, hey if there was a reliable unlock procedure for my phone model I'd take it, but I've failed to find one. 'I don't really own it' is symmetrical with 'I haven't really paid for it'
 Mocky: and maps with turn by turn directions while on bike and can't handle a map...
 Mocky: computing on phone for me has a couple of big wins. one is my workout app with 5 years of weight lifting logs useful while in the gym ~every day. the other is weather app that shows rainfall prediction graph at your location by the minute for next hour. priceless info for biker
 Mocky: which i've never been to, only watched on tv
 Mocky: that reminds me of a 'bike' i saw in Austin last year
 Mocky: shipping bike is loosing proposition, duties make it -ev unless you have expensive bike
 Mocky: I saw there's a harley store in Montevideo. one in Doha as well
 ☟︎ Mocky: well only one week on turist visa, after that need resident permit or something. i may not have the full story
 Mocky: apparently not on a turist visa
 Mocky: which they are coming down of 105 degree summer to 90's autumn, so pretty good timing actually
 Mocky: course I cant drive in qa, but looking forward to a second summer
 Mocky: speaking of the sun, it's barely getting up to 80 degrees here anymore making short sleeved motorcycle rides iffy. If only there were some place warmer to go
 Mocky: good idea with the sunglasses btw
 Mocky: what, do they have scrambled ota now?
 Mocky: by the time i'm down to nothing but a laptop, generator and waffle maker I'll rule the world
 Mocky: hey, is my secret weapon!
 Mocky: I guess I've recently gone through a few years worth of life compaction events, more shaking loose each time
 Mocky: anyway I decided to skip the hostel cuz 100% indian laborer gulag barracks, and went for air bnb room with door lock and kitchen/laundry access
 ☟︎ Mocky: I don't know, repellent has always been worse for me than any insects. I guess you could call me an insect bite non-responder. Prolly wouldn't use even if I didn't have hard shell luggage
 Mocky: asciilifeform, diana_coman: my phone's not paid off so can't unlock. maybe those hundies that could pay it off will find a better use in the short term, so that's why cheap second phone. and yeah, roaming turned off.
 ☟︎ Mocky: yeah, before I leave
 Mocky: I think I'm going to pick up a cheap unlocked phone as mine isn't unlocked
 Mocky: BingoBoingo, what did you do for cell service, new local sim for existing phone and ditch old number?
 Mocky: just need to breed strong pigeons that can carry 'return trip counterpart' plus payload
 Mocky: from appearances, qa version has similar "looks better to approvers if mega bucks will be invested" but also they are trying to 'silicon valley in Doha' so maybe some room at the 'bottom'
 ☟︎ Mocky: yeah, gotta find some people to talk to there
 Mocky: they seem keen on most new tech, and particularly comms tech
 Mocky: re: ice40 x250 and other projects: If I get a toe hold in Qatar, they have a 'free zone' to entice foreign R&D and tech startups which permits a new company to have 100% foreign owners, 0% tax on profits, duty free import/export. But requires them to like you and what you're trying to do.
 ☟︎ Mocky: Japanese robot seals ... wtf am i looking at right now, lol
 Mocky: it's not constant time without asm?
 Mocky: asciilifeform, O(1) crapolade packet rejection is already available in software with your FFA lib, if RSA over non-frag UDP was built on top, no?
 ☟︎ Mocky: old log threads appear to have mircea_popescu with hatred of UDP, which has meanwhile dissipated ?
 ☟︎ Mocky: zackly. and when "doesn't" it magnifies packet loss %
 Mocky: I don't see the benefit of building in a reliance on an external UDP fragment reassembly mechanism when the algo is 'all or nothing'.
 Mocky: and this doesn't count pets / hirelings / mobile npc's
 Mocky: there are clever ways to reduce, somewhat. but no silver bullet
 Mocky: per second is 30k/s per player.
 Mocky: 
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-28#1855218 >> players in sight of each other, all getting position updates for all others is *THE* central scaling 'n squared problem' for mmo. 20 byte position sent 4 times per second to 100 players is 8k/s per player. and 4 updates per second is really not enough for good playability when you factor in the round trip lag. 15/s is less draconian (many games send 30-60). 100 players gathered with 15 updates
 ☝︎☟︎ Mocky: asciilifeform, reports are that cost of living there is in same ballpark as US UK, with the exception that housing prices continue drop as gulf states embargo continues
 Mocky: the step one stuff is well documented, the steps 2 & 3 are not and my current info is gleaned from 5 diff reports by foreigners. situation on the gorund could be different
 Mocky: re inspection: i think they just want to see the place is real, has proper signage and has some necessary plackard posted on interior
 Mocky: BingoBoingo, i see a handful, mainly in sky scrapers, 9 to 5ish hours. havent' found pricing yet
