mircea_popescu: not against overprovisioning and spare gear waiting cold ; but subject to good deals on good deal, not really a desperation buy
mircea_popescu: weird shit ; i had nfi i'm that popular with the russki empire.
asciilifeform: apparently depends , nao, on who's doing the asking
mircea_popescu: i... um... they were free for the asking.
asciilifeform: ... and runs on own 1GW reactor. why not. for folx ready to pay, anyffingispossible neh
mircea_popescu: ifconfig goes from eth0 all the way down to eth0:32 on A SINGLE BOX. that's a /27 range.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i have nfi what's going on there, but let me point out trilema has a whole class c (ie, /24) allocated as it is.
asciilifeform: nfi why this notion persists. i suspect intel desinfo.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes : i just spent 10 minutes clicking like a madman through the dates of your logs of trilema-trinque trilema-mod6 etc. could it be a feature that if one month contains less than 2k lines of log then it is presented as a month by month rather than as a day by day thing ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and in other fucking sads, spam thing had http://trilema.com/2018/bogota-a-mixed-bag/#comment-124440 marked as spam ;/ ☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: not change the software ever. Just update the config files.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The switch's routing capabilities don't seem like they will be able to handle the transition period from our current borrowed /26 to the regionally allocated /24
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 21:26 mircea_popescu: phf you can also book with a day+ layover in panama on your way back. for one thing you get to see the place and despise panama for good reason rather than by hearsay ; for the other flight over here is ~1hr ~every hour.
mircea_popescu: o and hey phf, did you http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779900 ? am i seeing you on the 21st sorta thing ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo be specific, link to ebay or w/e.
BingoBoingo: And for the mini bbisp conference, any guests other than just phf?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what is meant by that last one ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> everyone else : he leaves on the 13th, deadline to send gear his way say 5 days prior or something like that << I would like to add to the wishlist a small box capable of being a router. 2+ CPU cores, 3+ NICs, and 4-8 GB of RAM. Throw a pre clang Openbsd on there and appliancicize it.
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's coming through. win.
BingoBoingo: brb, going to check on a machine with virgin hosts file
BingoBoingo: These things happen. The interface innovations of outsiders are the greatest handicap we have.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo updated ; hopefully this time correctly. apparently they had a different process to register these than i thought, the edit dns zone tool dun do it.
mircea_popescu: oh i found it. hangon bb. sorry for the delay.
mircea_popescu: there's a manage dns for this domain on the right and a change nameservers on the top, and neither have an option for it.
mircea_popescu: it probably is that i didn't register the ns with namesilo ; but holy shit, "Go to the Domain Manager page within your account Click the applicable domain name (it will be underlined in black) Click the "View/Manage Registered NameServers" link within the "NameServers" box" << there is no fucking box with links in it wtf
mircea_popescu: This is likely caused by the entered NameServers not being created yet."
mircea_popescu: "There was a problem with the NameServers you entered for the following domains:
mircea_popescu: though that's pretty weird lessee
mircea_popescu: "No name servers found at child. No name servers could be found at the child. This usually means that the child is not configured to answer queries about the zone."
BingoBoingo: I am under the impression that I set up authoritive only name servers using nds. Namesilo's whois search still shows three trilems nameservers listed http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/CwD4l/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i suspect you're right, city size has a large impact on inhabitant idiocy. overlarge cities train stupidity into dwellers.
BingoBoingo: Glad you enjoyed the pre-breakfast exercise
mircea_popescu: in other news, woke up with wood, took the tool to the little girl's room, picked one of the delicious butts asleep there an' fucked her daylights out. or rather i should say nightlights. in any case -- this is teh true joy in lyf! whenever you manage an erection, go pick one!
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> hmm qntra heathendns still dun resolve? << Whois is still showing the same information
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the people are a lot closer to the argentinian (pompous, inept, idle) than the tico (eager, voluble, extrovert) ; there's better night life but the 550 mm barometer is unpleasant ; much larger town but virtually no wild life ; arguably better food in restaurants, but i do prefer my slavegirls cooking anyway. and so on. << The size of the bananastani city seems to make a tremendous difference.
BingoBoingo: phf: What sort of accomodation are you looking for? Care to stay at the historic Rambler Hostel? ☟︎
mod6: http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/bogota-123.jpg << this is awesome, look how simpatico y feliz the llama is!
asciilifeform: phf: at least you didnt try to solder'em. at one time asciilifeform fell to that depth.
ben_vulpes: i emerged @world three times and started working through hanon's piano exercises!
phf: i spent about half hour trying to crimp rj45. i completely lost the skill, nor do i, turns out, have the right tools. you've not lived unless you've tried to crimp each individual contact with pliers
asciilifeform: or at the very least, not far.
mod6: that was last weekend for me. and a new coat of paint through 35% of the house.
trinque can pull the withdraw lever any time this evening, no problem.
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> and they have bicycle lanes, which i find intolerable. << not only lanes; it was claimed by at least one local that on sundays all principal roads are closed to cars --bikes only.
phf: jeez, that's some future technology
mircea_popescu: everyone else : he leaves on the 13th, deadline to send gear his way say 5 days prior or something like that
phf: oh, it just stays there until a withdraw?
phf: i don't have a wallet setup with that thing, i'll book pay tomorrow. i'm beat right now and don't want to fat finger something
mircea_popescu: there's some. in fairness i wasn't there long enough to say ; but the very idea annoys me.
asciilifeform: are there actual bicyclists , or mostly imaginary like in ro
asciilifeform: on sidewalks, like timis?!
mircea_popescu: and they have bicycle lanes, which i find intolerable.
mircea_popescu: add to that the dismal (and ridiculously overpriced) real estate, and the inept regulations (instead of forbidding poor people / locals from owning cars privately, they came up with the batshit insane nonsense of banning plates by whether they're opdd or even on alternate days. and this isn't an accident, this is structurally how they think.)
asciilifeform can picture this.
mircea_popescu: anyway. perfectly serviceable bananistan, yes. i still prefer cr. there's a certain advantage to being able to drive to the beach in a coupla hours any time.
asciilifeform doesn't know if he's ever even been to a 'healthy environment' for more than coupla days stretch
mircea_popescu: and the gray in the altitude pics, that's smog.
asciilifeform: if you were to camp out there for month+
asciilifeform: barometer one gets used to, neh
mircea_popescu: the people are a lot closer to the argentinian (pompous, inept, idle) than the tico (eager, voluble, extrovert) ; there's better night life but the 550 mm barometer is unpleasant ; much larger town but virtually no wild life ; arguably better food in restaurants, but i do prefer my slavegirls cooking anyway. and so on.
mircea_popescu: i thought you'd appreciate.
mircea_popescu: something like that
asciilifeform: ( prolly wants to be 'что у трезвого на уме то у пьяного на языке' )
asciilifeform: wat did cyrillic ever do to these folx
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/bogota-101.jpg << holyfuq cruelty to glyphs
asciilifeform: the hruscheba in the last pic is a winner. loox almost as if it came with 0 windows originally, and only the brave souls who chopped out their own, nao have one or two
mircea_popescu: not afaik. not that uncommon a name.
asciilifeform: any relation to petru ?
mircea_popescu: (maria groza, often mentioned there, deputy foreign minister at the time, even made it in "women's movement antologies" and whatnot.
asciilifeform: ah this much is not surprising, i presumed it under 'artful fake'
mircea_popescu: if you spend enough time with anything you end up with an idea of how it goes, be it wine or typewriter era paperwork.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thousand little clues, like the quality of the tape, the worn-ness of the letterheads, types of typing mistakes (eg, misspelling were unpermitted, missing space uniting words sometimes tolerated, many such tiny details)
mircea_popescu: including the iliterate signatures.
asciilifeform: dunno if i personally could tell actual-1974-shoemaker's-own-typewriter from artful fake typed on the timis museum one
mircea_popescu: i like to see actual items.
mircea_popescu: well depends. sure, counts,. but i meant as the physical photocopy as such
asciilifeform: the ro-themed wikilick ( mircea_popescu-powered, even, in the early burst iirc ) also counts, neh
mircea_popescu: so while pretty much every adult romanian saw at least one (often enough in the shape of, hey, do you know this guy you've been frioends for 30 years with, since chiuldhood ? well he was trying to fuck your wife and get you imprisoned), apparently there's a NOFORN clause implicit or something, 0 internets. ☟︎
asciilifeform enjoys embassies. doesn't actually know anyone who works in'em, however; but where asciilifeform lives they every year have a festival where 'look how great is our goatfuckistan, and how mighty its embassy, have some liquor, ' etc
mircea_popescu: tho there's lots of them floating about in rosphere, as there was a lot of wranglking about political policing and so on.
mircea_popescu: anyway, kinda why i included them. afaik there exists nowhere online such a thing, for the inquiring mind that might wish to know how ro declassified documents look in the first place.
asciilifeform: they dun seem to have a 'nobody cares' mode
mircea_popescu: however, these are a) from commie times so nobody much cares and b) the most benign of nothingness, what press releases were being shuttled. im not even sure they were ciphered originally.
asciilifeform: with what every other word even TODAY censored
asciilifeform: the marvel is that, picture american 'declassified' turds from same period, recall how they look like chessboards
asciilifeform: currently reading the vintage ro docz.
asciilifeform: seems like stuck with GET, POST, HEAD . ( still waiting to hear a defense of PUT )
mircea_popescu: conceivably they nuke the local link if head fails or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: seems, finally, various "fight linkrot" mechanisms use head to check if item linked sitll exists.
asciilifeform: i guess i needed a www with moar gas-modem-powered readers, to find this out.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 17:03 asciilifeform: i dun even propose to kill HEAD because it is complicated to implement -- it isn't, as i understand. but because 'nobody but pinoys ever seemed to issue a HEAD at asciilifeform's www, in decade+'
mircea_popescu: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779624 : $ cat trilema.txt | grep -c '"HEAD ' > 5936. this is about 9 hours' worth of log. turns out mp-wp uses head to make sure pictures uploaded correctly ; turns out a lot of economical browsers use head on pics on a page prior to loading them, to check if they already have them in the cache. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i thought it's the browser you get if you can't afford orgasm.
mod6: oh sure. if you're not used to that type of elevation, can take a lot out of you indeed.
mircea_popescu: and i tell you, it winds you. there were some inclines/stairs up there i had to take in two portions.
mircea_popescu: yeah. the place where i took those pics was 3200 meters
mod6: wow, the plateau is @ 8660 ft above sea level too. didn't realize that.
mod6: from the higher up shots of the city, it is quite big isn't it.
mircea_popescu: i dun really think i want to go back.
mod6: yeah, makes sense. maybe something for next time 'eh
