Framedragger: '15k to rent for a month' is an insane way of wording. nevertheless, i learned my lesson
Framedragger: ah fuck that was annual, he duped us!! (i'm sorry.)
Framedragger: (i of course see the point (by way of tmsr history as well) of being able to choose particular customers carefully, that is true of course)
Framedragger: i'd need to check but i do believe they do. but sure, it may as well lease them.
Framedragger: yes, it rents servers and bandwidth to customers.
Framedragger: a thing which at the very least has a NOC 24/7 incident response centre.
Framedragger: i'll go ahead and say (amid your laughs): OVH. it's an isp alright:
☟︎ Framedragger: that's true, and i see why you're bewildered. it's just that under the description above, i only see a wot-member being an interface point with a normal-isp. i suppose you would say that 'yes and this is fine' (it's about having someone who is in wot be responsible)?
Framedragger: you're not, you're not. also re several hundred, it's less, it's two small dedicated boxes on malware-infested provider + a vps
Framedragger: so just to clarify the technicalities in my mind, in your head this doesn't even imply registering for an isp as 'normally' understood (getting an autonomous system number assigned). which means you may not even be able to control reverse ip records. not a lotta.. power.. if shit goes down. which it will.
Framedragger: unless you own them and have physical access to, which exposes one to opsec + requirement to live in non-nato country, or w/e.
Framedragger: i'm not sure if it's accurate to call self 'isp' if you're just reselling rented servers.
Framedragger: we are, in a way, oblivious, to the *present issues at hand*, hm.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: you said yourself that there is no bulletproof hosting. how long do public torrent sites survive? and do you think they have not tried the 'bulletproof' route (not all of them, granted)?
Framedragger: so what, the idea is to jump around DCs (i assumed low bar for calling self isp is at least getting an AS number, btw) while they're kicking you, and only do rental contracts short enough so that not too much cash gets burned.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i've heard you before and i hear you now. i just don't have much hope for extant internet. unreliable-low-bandwidth shortwave relay net almost seems like a longer term strategy here, no?
Framedragger: sealand (if as in a physical platform at sea) == fewer options for uplink == even more bad, in my mind
Framedragger: asciilifeform: yeah so i hear, and even have coupla bookmarks from recommendations should the opportunity require, heh. anyway good to know
Framedragger: i agree that it'd be a good contribution, 'while it lasts'. maybe i'm too pessimistic, but i can't see how the 'refuses usg requests' lasts for any time after 'first request received'.
Framedragger: there are those isps in .ru which show the finger to usg, but (1) as was said here multiple times before, there is no 'bulletproof hosting'; and (2) i'd like to see what happens when someone starts serving content against .ru interests.
Framedragger: is true, but also a lotta labour hours put into failed project
Framedragger:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-21#1646829 << i should review logs, but -- assuming we're talking about the same internet / ip aspce -- i've been sceptical of this. there's always an upstream that can cut you off, neh? if no upstream, you gotta somehow be tier 1 - how.
☝︎ Framedragger: yes, by now, goddammit this is just criminal and that's it.
Framedragger: 'but why!!' such very optimise one function call omg.
Framedragger: 'Dead Store Elimination' << new fancyterm learned from ^. heh
Framedragger: asciilifeform: oh shit. i looked at snipped of code, thought, gcc wouldn't catch this, that's all. sorry.
Framedragger: meh, gcc wouldn't have caught it to begin with
Framedragger: oh, thanks. not been a diligent reader of logs for last coupla days.
Framedragger will move ass time permitting and collect his 1gb, too
Framedragger: mod6: just fyi, your `dd if=/dev/ttyUSB0 of=fg1.fg3.bin` doesn't look to include that padding flag?
Framedragger: yeah, i can see that. compartments of the kind are always leaky. and it's natural to then distrust in general, etc. however, if you wanted to use this as an example why no tech career happened after, you'd be begging the question.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i have to agree re. 'movement' tho, yeah..
Framedragger: (the latter may signify that genderstuff is poison, sure.)
Framedragger: i don't know, i just see an engineer who did engineer work and contributions before and after gender transition; and a person who got caught into politics/issues of genderstuff after involving self in genderstuff. "meh" is my reaction.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: that's true, it's "rough around the edges" is an understatement for now. and in general, a ~very~ problematic position to be in. there is that...
Framedragger: anyway, the point is, she did lots of technical work after gender change.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i disagree. in their mind, it is completely consistent to do activism as they are 'suppressed', etc.; so i don't see how that would necessarily follow
Framedragger: asciilifeform: from skimming her bio, she went into activism after tech career retirement, which followed ~quite a bit after~ the change. inferring cause-effect there is imho stretching it ~very~ much. but then, i haven't met her, etc.
Framedragger: aha rightright. that's about as much as i know, tho
Framedragger: from initial skim of her bio, after gender change, too
Framedragger: i'm not familiar with how good/bad/evil vlsi is.
Framedragger: she's been quite productive tho, neh? can't deny that?
Framedragger: one lynn conway.. this name was mentioned here wasn't it..
Framedragger: imma just start googling soon :) vlsi as in opengl, i assume. (i dunno)
Framedragger: used to shy away from generalising based this, i have to admit. but it's such an accurate signal (what are the chances that trans-crypto-engineer-sjw will be posting stuff related to the crpyto-engineer part?), it's mindboggling
Framedragger: > hm, this other person rants about something-politics, can't even be arsed to read. no content
Framedragger: > find interesting post; follow to interesting person's twitter; get suggestion whom to follow, on the surface it looks good (e.g. "also a hardware engineer", etc.)
Framedragger: (current convenience simply allows for "type message, give recipient, get back url to send to", and any additional stuff is ben_vulpes' et al. 'programm0rs like to masturbate with complexity')
Framedragger: 1. it's why i asked, re. convenience, 2. yeah it's a terrible idea, hm, and 3. there was no intention to do any encrypting/signing on the server - god forbid
Framedragger: i could add www endpoint to scriba which would take in encrypt pgpgrams, and scriba would PM them to target. to avoid abuse etc., messages would need to be signed, tho. not sure how useful. (i'd maybe use this. could pgpgram while not connected to irc. maybe overthinking this before impending gossipd)
☟︎ Framedragger: (then, just do `ep frame` to encrypt to my key e.g., type msg as per gpg, get paste url)
Framedragger: is there a more convenient way of organising and/or sending pgpgrams to irc folx? i have
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/iCXI2/?raw=true which is ~fine. (it'll complain about unsigned key if target is such, and gpg will ask y/n there. add `--trust-model always` to gpg command if you don't like this and like to live dangerously)
☟︎ Framedragger: asciilifeform: just fyi i am unable to download /sadmods. i am using curl with no retry. no biggie, and i know you have more important things to do :)
☟︎ Framedragger: this is only done by gnu coreutils dd, it seems. same warning on ubuntu (coreutils), etc.
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: of course i do. i meant, i see it here, too, and agree. but, yeah, 'tis a big problem
