mircea_popescu: moreover, considering it takes 10 minutes or more to ~read~ an article and whatever, a second or less to actually load it, even being able to serve 1 request/s is fucking ample, each day you will have put out 600 day-reader worth of material.
mircea_popescu: one could also say "there's not THAT MANY PEOPLE, and if there are they can sure as fuck wait". which, also fine.
mircea_popescu: i guess one could say "my blog will never have 100s of simultaneous readers, so mp's machine is 10x overprovisioned". which is fine, but also entirely arbitrary.
mircea_popescu: i mean, pick a thoroughput you wish, build the box, that's what you get.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what specifically overprovisioning would mean here.
mircea_popescu: and otherwise, the server actually spits out in excess of 2k pageloads / s, as a matter of actuarial evidence.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the reason you were seeing at some point slightly longer pageloads is precisely that, it'll serve you when it gets to you. and if you decide (if ~you~ decide) that whenever's too late and timeout, more power to you, feel free to retry.
mircea_popescu: and yes, a properly configured webserver serves at line speed, in the sense that the way to ddos is by overwhelming ~the router~ not the webserver.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the cycles go 70-80% user / 10-15% system / etc whether there's 5 or 500 people asking for a page, it just doesn't figure into some sort of cycle economy
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cycles/s or ram bytes about as meaningful in this discussion, might as well ask "how much free memory". no such thing, really.
mircea_popescu: atm eg doing ~220 connections / .1s sorta thing. the problem's the would-be attackers output capacity, not some kind of limit on trilema side. it'll serve as much as dood can send through.
mircea_popescu: it's not like microshit hired a different set of eggheads than populated slashdot.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's not unsalvageable. very robust machines can be built on apache.
mircea_popescu: and you said it was to show that you were my sweetheart and I was yours. But I suppose you've eaten the one I gave you?"
mircea_popescu: and thus restaurated, we can then continue our readings of the morn! to wit : "You didn't talk like that before," said Dulcie plaintively. "I—I thought perhaps you'd be glad to see me. You were once. And—and—when you went away last you asked me to—to—kiss you, and I did, and I wish I hadn't. And you gave me a ginger[Pg 72] lozenge with your name written on it in lead pencil, and I gave you a cough-lozenge with mine;
mircea_popescu: plus, of course, a chardonnay, a zinfadel, something, preferably vienese style (crushed ice, mineral water, wine in equal parts)
mircea_popescu: and for desert -- breakfast doesn;t take desert ?! who says ! -- cashew chocolate paste and (separately!) cozonac filling, served on scottish-style shortbread cookies.
mircea_popescu: to be served on a bed of lettuce ; on the side : smoked sprats and eggs overed easy with cayenne pepper.
mircea_popescu: in a bowl you flake smoked trout, with chunked : onion (red, raw), pickled gherkins (salt pickles, not vinegar "pickles"), artichoke ; add capers, fresh (or salt-pickled) tarragon leaf. the base cheese is something sweet (schweizer works fine in this instant example), the signatuer cheese is something sharp (here, a very fine camambert, but ideally, casu marzu, well ripe).
mircea_popescu: sooo... while the right-honourable ingredients involved sit for a moment in a bowl to make friends with each other, allow me to describe for posterity what is right and properly known as "the despration breakfast".
mircea_popescu: o yeah. you should see this "large screen", scrolls visibly on diagonal.
mircea_popescu: and even then -- nothing under 2-3k or so worth the mention.
mircea_popescu: other than terminals which are habitually filmed, i can't imagine what use for non-60hz refresh.
mircea_popescu: back then, if it came to it, could give luser knob, make it 10khz
mircea_popescu: well, much harder to do on the new shits than was on crt.
mircea_popescu: most machines today have a vidcard for the whole rounded corners bs anyways.
mircea_popescu: it's not very intensive ; and pretty sure we talked about this befoar.
mircea_popescu: as per ye olde omnibus->autobus broken etymologyu tradition.
mircea_popescu: in other euloraleaks, it seems self-evident that by the time we're done writing a kernel in ada, the os will be called auntoo, right.
mircea_popescu: do me a favour and watch the it, not the ru dialogues lol.
mircea_popescu: bette davis' last role, together with a decent it crew (mangano, sordi).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform speaking of which item, you ever seen il scopone scientifico ?
mircea_popescu: i literally know people who would genocide the country for this one sin.
mircea_popescu: WHO THE FCUK could POSSIBLY!!!! in any conceivable universe!!!! want to hear some ukr cosmetologist INSTEAD of bette davis ?
mircea_popescu: lol. such an inept habit this. even today, you know, download some film, discover it has a ru spoken track, that's it.
mircea_popescu: well, in ro you got ro text overimposed on english speech. if one's brain works AT ALL...
mircea_popescu: (back then romanians hadn't yet taken the step of imbecility and dubbed nothing.)
mircea_popescu: yeah, learn pinoy over blowjobs or w/e it is. how hard can it be, and how long can it stay that way.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform should prolly use it on the dating scene, young hussies respond quite well!
mircea_popescu: they really are not hard, especially once one stops whiteknuckling quite so hard.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i dunno why people fret so much about languages generally.
mircea_popescu: o wait -- did i say two negatives ? i meant "help as to hinder".
mircea_popescu: it's amusing, if one takes a dispassionate look, how equally likely to hurt as to hinder are parental best intentions.
mircea_popescu: mme carolina orasan. she wasn't very good -- but she was studious and insistent, and i suppose perfectly fine for an orc. the others, even worse.
mircea_popescu: one of those poor women had to be my english teacher for YEARS to come, in school.
mircea_popescu: did i recount that incident when we were visiting england in a group (of 20+ people, including 3 professional english teachers) and teh stewardesses asked me to explain things to the rest (of the unruly orcs), back in early 90s ?
mircea_popescu: well, i guess i have the priviledge & advantage a) nobody dared beat me, sticks or otherwise coupled with b) was always better at english than anyone anyways.
mircea_popescu: first the "ease and inclusion" and then the "proper expression" etc.
mircea_popescu: but THEN, the EXACT SAME nonsense spring, painfully and costly wound up by previous generation of exactly-same imbeciles, "english human lang", unwinding EXACT SAME WAY
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. there's an interesting similarity at work here : the "nuclear family" nonsense spring, painfully and costly wound up by the imbecile universalist-chrsitian sect over a century, unwound in a few decades via
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-19#1888412 process. this, of course, "nobody notices".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: what irks me is that these are contrary "eases" -- if you say "well, cocksucker, can't palatalize anymore, there's no 'nt' in her world" then what do you say to "she prefers pronouncing ths to thes"
mircea_popescu: and of course there's "dominate" as a fucking noun. "she's a dominate".
mircea_popescu: it's just, there's some grooves in the moron brain, and they work a certain way.
mircea_popescu: nah. back in the day they used to spell "rogue" (the high fantasy playable character, right ?) as "rouge", notwithstanding they spoke no french or anything
mircea_popescu: oh, and, of course : "Latest activity PetiteGoddess21 posted a journal entry on her profile titled “ill sell whatever you want”: about 10 hours ago I'll sell whatever you want ;) ( including videos, pics ,sexting, etc) if got all types of cloths for sale and request how you want them and how many days worn you want I'll also include a video of me playing in them , using them or anything else ... continue reading → "
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: supposedly made out of distilled chicken coop remains -- shit & feathers.
mircea_popescu: for samagon you mean ? "rachiu de pufoaica", literally "goretex brandy".
mircea_popescu: ustards writing "vodka" on some crap they made dun make it so.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose that nah's unclear. plenty cases before where "domme" goes all soft for me ; plenty of cases before where "um... actually looking at your pics... nevermind". and some cases before where these two met, but never before in 12 words or less.
mircea_popescu: more layers than that. domme "yes sir", omnimaster "meh" etc.
