ben_vulpes: i do not understand
the behavior; he runs a perfectly fine bot for god only knows how long, gets
threatened with defrocking, system loses all semblance of reliability in parallel with a few hissy fits
ben_vulpes: ah lost shinohai's bot because he wants
to look at logs some more instead of providing a useful
tool
ben_vulpes: heh well
the amount of usd involved is rather small, but i see
the point
☟︎ mircea_popescu: incidentally ben_vulpes :
the "The
tangibles line looks healthier
than it has any right
to due
to
the deterioration of
the USD/BTC price. " comment suggests a pretty fine price signal : when btc goes down, incentive
to buy pizarro equity goes up. when it's eventually listed you can almost judge btc usd pair by its share price.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, so
then, invoice me for 75 * 4 + 50 an' send
the boy his details ?
spyked: thetarpit comments are still wip. :(
that functionality screams
to be added,
there are one or
two
things
that I still need
to figure out.
mircea_popescu: anyway ;
translation is knowing when
to
take liberties. which is why it's exactly betrayal.
mircea_popescu: ommie novels as
to
the hardness of rural life, and so going forever, everything is a list of include-by-reference fifty items long.)
mircea_popescu: (and no, it's not good. it may shock in
the sense of "omfg, i had no expectation anything can be done", but good it can't be, because romanian is a highly cultured language, and when you say "tramvai" ie "tramcar" you don't merely say
that, but also include by reference "aiurea-n
tramvai", which is a
typically romanian construction, and susai-s not merely Sonchus arvensis but also all
the references in all
the "new realism" c
mircea_popescu: spyked, apparently you have no comments ? anyway, "the smiling girl i saw
today bewitched my soul entirely ; another line goes in a diary
that's read by me, and Mr. Sorrowly."
☟︎ ascii_lander: unless you only want
to build and smoketest etc
ascii_lander: ben_vulpes: absolutely unusable for
trb, cannot (as presently configed) hold
the bloxx
mircea_popescu: brooklyn,
take off all your clothes ; and
that silly rainbow nonsense.
ben_vulpes: i will point out
that
this rockchip will be a poor production
trb host; but will be a fine
trb experimentation platform for
trinque's audit
spyked: but
the (prolly not
too important) fact
that he was hired by private security firm
to guard school never made
the press. we just saw
the news back
then (was it 2001?) and luled.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 18:23 mircea_popescu: douchebag i'll get you a sever once
the pizarro folk unwrap
their heads enough
to actually have one on offer. so you can
tinker on gentoo,
trb etc and get out of
the "vps" bs hell.
spyked: ascii_lander,
http://archive.is/4pSLb ; guy planted grenades in cismigiu park and at one of
the highschools in
town, I have no idea what he was going
to do with
them, whether
there was any motive or whether
the guy was sane. but he was recently bailed out.
ascii_lander: ( see also article,
there are 2 subscription variants )
ascii_lander: is mircea_popescu buying
the fella's subscription ?
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu:
they were racked yesterday and are up & running an' waiting for folx
to live in'em
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, it's not fucking clear because both you and ben_vulpes communicate weirdly. i was going
to buy one! am i ?
spyked: ohbutwait,
this ain't about me. anyway.
spyked: the best story I have -- speaking of "interesting life stories" -- is
that one of
the "hired guards" ("paznic") at school, while a kid, was "first man accused of
terrorism". bet guy did his field study on our (local) school before planting grenade at famous high school.
mircea_popescu: spyked,
the advantage of a leisured life started somewhat later, i guess. i certainly had all
the
time in
the world
to hang out in bars with all
the "inteligentsia" until i heard most of
the stories.
mircea_popescu: (for
the rotakus :
the bit in question is "surisul fetei din
tramvai m-a fermecat definitiv. am inc-o drama la activ, exact ca domnul ion susai." in romanian it's actually notbad poetry,
to my exacting standards
that somehow manage
to exclude most of it. not actually
translatable, sadly, in
the sense
that it's
too dependent on language for its substance, if you
translate it
there's nothing left. but anyway..)
spyked was 'lil kid in
the '90s anyway, didn't casually start exploring bucharest shithole until early 2000s. sure, heard stories of
the usual ex-doctor/university professor bum/taxi driver and met a few weirdos, but otherwise neighbourhood consisted mostly of gypsies, while -- believe or not -- downtown filth was
too varied
to remember any specific face/case
mircea_popescu: spyked,
there was some dumb bitch whose name i forget "tryina make it in dis biznis"
that fell for it and put him in studio for one of
their inane
talkshow as if genuine article. he certainly wasn't a "great director from braila" etc. however, he was in fact a) busking and b) coming up with lulzy shit, quite in
the vein of "surisul fetei din
tramvai". and
the "you can't possibly know him" bit is asking for it -- i'd not have
spyked: thanks for
the reference. will read up on it and find a way
to add it
to
the review
LordMPofTMSR: ascii_lander, something like
that, for
the rockchips. however, what i was
talking about is a 1 or i guess 2u general purpose drop-in replacement switch.
LordMPofTMSR: there factually was a creative busker hanging about piata romana, mid 90s. his self-stories are in fact lies, but
the link is still
there neh.
spyked: LordMPofTMSR, I had no idea. and looking for mihaita dragomirescu, all I found was news items a la
http://archive.is/ojKnE and other cancans. if ye know for a fact
this is not made-up scandal,
then I believe, but otherwise... eh.

then i will

ascii_lander reporting live from a very spiffy rooftop lounge
thing
LordMPofTMSR: spyked, your filantropica review is
terrible for failing
to point out
the ion susai - mihaita dragomirescu link, and general unawareness of
the dramaz
there.
douchebag: Alright, you also said you're bringing
the laptop down
to
the pool - so I guess
that's good enough
LordMPofTMSR: well if you read up in
the log you can see i upped myself first.
LordMPofTMSR: aaand
the wireless reaches quite
this far apparently. win.
LordMPofTMSR: asciilifeform, about
the same here, miles and miles of perfectly empty beach. not so much nudist bbeach as naturist,
there's nobody fucking
there except
the fauna, and it dun care.
ascii_lander: not
today, not yesterday, not at all. nobody. swims.
ascii_lander: funny place,
this here, massive beach, 28c, and... 0 swimmers
mircea_popescu: in expectation of alf eating
through
the log, im
taking a laptop down
to
the pool, get best of both worlds : wet sluts and stuffs!

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-18#1801945 << you'll have
to explain
to me
the logic of
this sometime. is
there some expectation
that all bipedals are human and made in
the similitude of god or something ? animals are animals, whether superficially human or not, form does not
trump structure. if
they don't have
the spark of humanity, which very much IS rsa key etc,
then how's he remiss using

ascii_lander: diana_coman: i dun
think i ever had a box where
the log were not eternally full of portscanola
ascii_lander: ( answ was: BingoBoingo was a n00b when plugged'em in, did not know
that it wants 50pounds of force ,
they all hung loose )
diana_coman: log is full of port scanning but
that's kind of expected anyway
diana_coman: as far as I can
tell
the hardware including fgs seems
to be as expected and working, hopefully all is fine
ascii_lander bought a 2nd GB switch at

ckang is currently deploying esxi 6.7 and a vcenter appliance
to see if its worth ditching 6.0 for
ckang: but i wouldnt
trust myself making changes on a production switch by any means
ckang: i just know enough
to request what i need from our networking folks
ckang: im not a DC guy by any means, i work more with
the software/services side of
things
mircea_popescu: ckang, alright, it's
time you
tell us your life story. what did you do ?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-18 14:58 ascii_lander: blew half a day on
the following nonsense : excluded 'root' from
tar, and
this resulted in not only /root , but also /etc/init.d/root being excluded, which is
the service
that runs at boot
to remount / as rw
ckang: ben_vulpes: changing an IP address wont matter much if
they are zoned off in
their own vlan and associated with a specific port.
they simply wouldnt be able
to reach
their gateway after changing IPs, it cant circumvent
the router/switch by doing just
that anyways, not with proper ACLs in place
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, if it's self-evident why write it down
then ?
ben_vulpes: at
the risk of enumerating badness and a code of conduct, i'm going
to work up a set of
things
that self-evidently will get one kicked
ckang: most of
the Ubiquiti routers use a form of VyOS (which is a forked version of vyatta)
mircea_popescu: then ? i don't have a good grasp of
the problem here.\
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: boxes can bind
to whichever IPs
they want, not a matter of getting into
the router and changing settings
there.
mircea_popescu: moreover, s.nsa could VERY sensibly sell a prepackaged in
this manner cuntoo-based vyos replacement.
mircea_popescu: and it'll be faster and cheaper
to do
that
than
to buy juniper, hang/fire/burn at
the stake all ustards involved and have a fg-like line of products put out.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-18#1801594 << it was never my impression
that we would do business outside of wot. ( can be any depth of wot, but imho
to do business entirely outside of wot, is a sin )
mircea_popescu: but, most generally -- eh fuck it, i'm putting it in
the aphorisms.
mircea_popescu: moreover he seems extremely valuable, sadly in
the "black sheep" sort of way, where he
tends
to collect first pass wrath. but
this is because he actually finds unexpected edges, of
the flavour of "unexpected"
that really is "i dun wanna
think about
that", ie, "hey flying kid, don't use your wings"
trinque: (slut onslaught meanwhile found
things, so good enough)
