mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently the martian titbank happens before the martian moneybank.
mircea_popescu: what are you up to ?
emmylark: May I please have some more numbers? Like the ones for my tits?
emmylark: So those numbers, for my tits? May I have some more of them? One from anyone willing to entertain me?
mod6: Good deal. :] Nice to meet 'ya.
trinque caught the rick and morty reference
emmylark: Hello everyone. There was no offense taken.
asciilifeform: oh hey is that mircea_popescu's new kitten
mod6: the adventure is worth it though.
mod6: it's a bit deep to walk in alf's big footprints through the adventure.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-27 22:54 asciilifeform: ( sometimes i wish that i could convince people to ~actually do this~, lol )
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-27#1777455 << great exercise, actually. type in each chapter's version of ffa ☝︎
asciilifeform: in that sense worxgreat, sure.
mircea_popescu: trb is whatever the foundation releases.
asciilifeform: it ain't retrofittable to trb imho, however. too many inoperable tumours in trb.
mircea_popescu: ie, a toy item rather than production ready.
mircea_popescu: but it;s not that machine is useless "for trb work". current trb is useless for machine work.
asciilifeform: ( the one with the O(1) indexer and the 'nursery' last-few-hundred-blox holder , as discussed last yr )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it would, i already established it in my torture room
asciilifeform: ( sometimes i wish that i could convince people to ~actually do this~, lol ) ☟︎
mod6: keep up the good work asciilifeform
a111: Logged on 2018-01-27 22:16 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-27#1777381 << i was thinking, the '% of wallclock time spent waiting for blockverifier' , '% of wallclock time spent waiting for newblock' stats really oughta be part of standard 'getinfo' output
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-27#1777409 << a properly rewritten trb-blockchain would actually work ok on plated disks. ☝︎
mod6: I gotta get this mission critical stuff with vtron out of the way. Then should be undertaking myself.
asciilifeform: mod6: do not hurry to sign. intention is, to slowly eat it, and sign when it begins to seem as if 'wrote yourself'
mod6: So I'm gonna circle back around, do it all; start to finish.
mod6: lol, i've not "formally" started it. I have however, looked through most of 1, 2, 3, and 4. Did the homework for ffa_calc. But again, not enough to say "I've done it. Lemme sign."
mod6: asciilifeform: ch9, cool! I'm pretty excited to dive in.
mod6: The formal release version is planned of course. Thanks for paitence, and help to get this vtron in proper working order.
asciilifeform: this is pretty great, mod6 , i'ma test it this wk
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 14:55 asciilifeform: the only actual standard in whole fucking machine is the mains cord.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-27 17:29 spyked: !~later tell mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-26#1776901 <-- neato! ftr, it seems that pingback responses vary a lot across web server configs, wp versions etc. some blogs. for example wordpress.com-hosted blogs give undocumented (or sometimes empty) responses, probably as an anti-spam measure. (after filtering out non-pingbackabble sites, I sent all pingbacks manually, just to look at responses)
mod6: Lords and Ladies of The Most Serene Republic, I present to you a pre-patched *EXPERIMENTAL* version of my vtron (99993), along with a patch to show changes from V (99994): http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2018-January/000287.html
asciilifeform polishing off ch9. which will contain, among other things, The Seekrit Of all-iron guaranteed-constanttime mul , with only ~8% penalty over iron mul.
asciilifeform: ( in 'striping' , the platters turn deliberately out of phase )
asciilifeform: ( exercise for the reader, to see why )
phf: what i meant to say was read speed issue, but not seek time issue, but i'm thinking that seek time ~might~ improve because of parallelizable seeking
phf: err, actually scratch the whole thing
phf: striped raid might solve write speed issue, but not seek time issue
ben_vulpes: obviously is going to be slow, but mimi has zero trouble keeping up with the tip-o-the-chain since applying your patch
asciilifeform: the latter having ~1/32th the cpu horse of the former.
asciilifeform: dulap-II had a serious striped-raid ; still took 5x as long to verify same block as fist-sized, raidless ssd zoolag.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: plox to quantify 'just fine'
asciilifeform: i had the above stats patch on the conveyor, but abandoned when saw that there is no mystery anymoar for it to resolve..
asciilifeform: though i will point out, for completeness, that i saw NO substantial 'behinditude' on zoolag since feeding it the pill against shitoshi's sync retardation.
asciilifeform: it will readily reveal the cause of a 'behind' node
a111: Logged on 2018-01-27 20:02 diana_coman: re nodes: mine is still there but still not at the top; I even pressed and ran asciilifeform's patch but it's unclear to me if it helped tbh; I admit I did not have much time to really dig deeper there exactly
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-27#1777381 << i was thinking, the '% of wallclock time spent waiting for blockverifier' , '% of wallclock time spent waiting for newblock' stats really oughta be part of standard 'getinfo' output ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-25 19:29 asciilifeform: btw i'll mention again a simple method to speed up sync (to a point) 1,000x or moar -- signed hashes ( a la the programmable checkpoint thread from 2yrs ago )
asciilifeform: potentially they could work at something like normal speed, with something like http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-25#1776380 . but that's not a Troo Adult Noad ☝︎
asciilifeform: really a kind of tarpit.
asciilifeform: a mechanical-hdd node is possibly even worse than none. causes chronic frustration for its owner and anybody who tries to sync from it
asciilifeform: but today -- nope.
asciilifeform: it sorta, possibly, worx, when in striped-raid; and worked ok prior to fullblox era
a111: Logged on 2018-01-27 20:10 diana_coman: ah, that must be it then; no ssd :(
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-27#1777388 << at the risk of repeating -- mechanical hdd is ~useless for trb work ☝︎
spyked took a look through how mod_security does user agent-based filtering and stumbled upon http://archive.is/ELI4u#selection-1478.0-1518.2 lulz; no idea how a programmatically-generated string can be botched up just like that.
diana_coman: spyked, thanks; looks familiar even so one of these days I'll have to get around to look at it and shoot it in the head
spyked: (and it's not obvious from the error message either; but it's possible that there's a bit more info in the server logs)
spyked: diana_coman: here's the output: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Nlokl/?raw=true and the script I used http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/z0nep/?raw=true it would seem ngnix expects user agents to meet a particular spec (that I haven't figured out exactly) before delivering pages
diana_coman: hm, what was the error you got on that one that didn't work?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 18:34 mircea_popescu: !~later tell spyked hey, does your tarpit not send pingbacks or is there some error ? what's the response if you say curl -v -A "Mozilla/5.0" -r 0-4096 --connect-timeout 30 --max-time 10 "http://www.dianacoman.com/xmlrpc.php" --header "Content-Type: text/xml" --data "<?xmlversion="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>pingback.ping</methodName><params><param><value><string>http://trilema.com/2017/re-reading-is-the-most-powerful-tool/
spyked: diana_coman, yeah, but your webserver is ultra-conservative on user agents. :) the one from http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773164 didn't work, so I faked one from an existing browser, which eventually did the trick. (nb for whoever wants to craft xml-rpc requests manually) ☝︎
diana_coman: ah, that must be it then; no ssd :( ☟︎
mod6: (and fwiw, im running the aggressive push blocks too, which should help. but too IO bound to matter with slow disk)
mod6: so yeah, mine lags behind too because of sloooooow disk.
mod6: heh, that moment where 'mimisbrunnr' is a block ahead of other blockchain sites...
mod6: does your node use an SSD? mine doesn't and is @ 506042, and the net is @ 506402
diana_coman: re nodes: mine is still there but still not at the top; I even pressed and ran asciilifeform's patch but it's unclear to me if it helped tbh; I admit I did not have much time to really dig deeper there exactly ☟︎
mod6: how's eulora stuff these days?
mod6: Lords and Ladies of The Most Serene Republic: Please let me know if you have any updates for your Advertised Republican Nodes to conclude the month of January.
jhvh1: spyked: The operation succeeded.

BingoBoingo: Wire is expected to hit the datacenter account Monday. This weekend configuring and double checking the configuring of the switch and the musl Qntra
mod6: all of that, yet people are still 'maga' or whatever it is today
mircea_popescu: i was talking re "contempo" period, post ww2 not of the fucking know-nothing movement.
asciilifeform: typically not publicized , but they're there.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eh those have been a thing for many years
asciilifeform: ( iirc in all 50 states at this point, if even local cop runs somebody over on his way to arresting a pickpocket, corpse 'hangs' on the pickpocket )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the more interesting point is that purely latino style "kidnappings" are moving into the us in complete defiance of "law enforcement".

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-26#1777321 << observe that in all such cases under modern usg, the corpse 'hangs' on the designated gallows bird; and never on the gestapo ( who can machine-gun or even demolish, as in florida 2y ago, entire houses , with clear conscience ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i'm thinking of branching out into plucked.
mircea_popescu: i have about $1 trillion in trimmed pubic hairs. they, unlike a "transgender", are actually female, being XX.

mircea_popescu: well... if you do this many shows eventually you're gonna have to rely on reruns!
mircea_popescu: better make sure there's replacement "representatives" "presidents" etcetera for the WHOLE list.
