mircea_popescu: and yes, we're woprking on fixing this. the work is wide, and we can't get over, some handsome rovers from town to town etc.
mircea_popescu: but the point remains, mtbf in linux world is NOT years.
mircea_popescu: i'm not for a second saying HE could have done much better / differently.
mircea_popescu: point in case here. it is beyond even the shadow of the most absurd doubt that alf's code locked the box. but he's willing to spend time fighting the obvious, rather than anything else, because hey, this is a bitter pill to swallow.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you gotta learn to judiciously allocate your time ; Framedragger the problem isn't so much locking up the box - it's that the box will fuck up, this being "foss" bullshit, and then the owner will be like "i dun wanna pay for a box i can't use, notwithstanding this is what i claimed i want".
mircea_popescu: not saying it's not possible, but in practice above pay grade of most dc techs.
mircea_popescu: afaik it can't actually dump ram or do useful debugging. but it can reboot the system, which is you know, a crossed wire.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't log in ; nor does it interact with your os.
mircea_popescu: anyway. in the intervening years there's this new approach that dcs favour because cheaper.
mircea_popescu: what exactly did you think you were asking when you asked for the dc to kvm in your box and fix it for you ?
mircea_popescu: apparently the divergence is winder than previously realised. anyway - ipkvm capable chipsets come with ipkvm.
mircea_popescu: of course you did ? iirc we discussed processor make etc way back when selecting ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno that they actualy bother keeping it for client managed boxes.
mircea_popescu: ie, ssh moduli breakage didn't sink phf's lisp-frail stack. but it did sink YOURS
mircea_popescu: though i must confess syn flood had a better ring to it altogether.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as code with guaranteed jack shit on linux. next question.
mircea_popescu: now stop thrashing about, write better code in general and make the above call so this can go on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in point of fact i have asked the public force to locate car drunk ho abandoned "dunno where". they did. i didn't throw a shitfit about "o noes surveillance state". this because a) i asked them to do it and b) obviously they just put the number in the stolen cars interface and then a patrol saw it.
mircea_popescu: it's a fucking admin interface bridged into the fucking bus, what the everloving shit would it care about your derpy os's notions of "users". as if those fucking EVEN WORK irl.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well, until you insisted i ask, nobody did. once i ask, they gotta do specific things.
mircea_popescu: also at issue is something called "fastwerker". that the same thing ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, make a call, do i have it rebooted or let it be for a while and see if it digs itself back out ?
mircea_popescu: get out of here. how do you propose came up with name ?
mircea_popescu: and unless maz actuallty reads the logs instead of doing his work, I TOLD YOU SO
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "process fastwerker is killing the box, would you like reboot"
mircea_popescu: "oh it's on phuctor and why do i need to do anything", which is how we got "those debian experts are flyeyeing the code so why should i have a clue".
mircea_popescu is pretty fucking annoyed that the MOMENT the slightest disturbance in the force occurs, we suddenly discover there was really 0 defense in depth.
mircea_popescu: that someone utterly failed at that task, as push coming to shove proves.
mircea_popescu: we fucking need this archival of links in chan, like years ago.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger your scriba could crawl all links in chan and archive them. phf said a while back he almost has this but i've yet to see it
mircea_popescu: ie, you don't get to see ip or link. which /.... so search, what's it do.
mircea_popescu: you can't search worth a shit right now because overflow.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we have a bot run by peterl which supposedly snapshots EVERY LINK IN CHAN
mircea_popescu: fucking worthless, really, there's a total of SIX links to phuctor that went in chan this month ?
mircea_popescu: and all-phyuctor snapshots are like this : 1 from nov 14. three from nov 3 . two from nov 1.
mircea_popescu: any collection of data will have to consist of references to other sources at the edges
mircea_popescu: which is k of records * 10kb or such, not the end of world.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i've not yet got through the log because parsing threw exception on that line i quoted :D
mircea_popescu: in a sense it is "social responsibility", ie, "the data was provided, what did republic do with it".
mircea_popescu: hillary clinton is not worried about raping brown babies.
mircea_popescu: they really couldn't, and didn't, give a shit about phuctor working throughout the years it worked.
mircea_popescu: and the ONLY thing that interests the shitgnomes is display.
mircea_popescu: phuctor wasn't ever so snappy on display even when it was accessible.
mircea_popescu: yes, but there are two concerns that are separable : a) flood stops processing and b) flood stops display.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the wisdom of having the data in a cheap vps is becomingf ever more apparent.
mircea_popescu: i can tell you what wtf right now : learn not to overload box.
mircea_popescu: 31 packets transmitted, 31 received, 0% packet loss, time 30040ms < you actually can't ping it ?
