asciilifeform: ( the manufacturer's soft was certificably worthless, it was a java shitware , believe it ) ☟︎

asciilifeform: and , if he actually got himself the box, i suppose i'll have to write up how to operate it

asciilifeform: speaking of which, looking forward to trinque's article

asciilifeform: eh pete_dushenski i had a post earlier this wk also

asciilifeform: https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/545flm/tell_us_more_about_cybercriminals_mr_krebs/ << countdown to /dev/null

asciilifeform somewhat surprised that this passed the censors

asciilifeform: l0l!!

asciilifeform: it is, to borrow a mircea_popescuism, the crab's one pincer.

asciilifeform: well where didja think it worked.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it works on the bottom half of bell curve of crapware artists, who haven't invented p2p, autogenned domains, etc.

asciilifeform: with the help of krebs & co.

asciilifeform: by usg.

asciilifeform: y'know, parked in graveyard orbit.

asciilifeform: they're blackholed.

asciilifeform: 1337 d00d

asciilifeform: aaaaa

asciilifeform: 'blackholed'

asciilifeform: if i had to guess, i'd say confiscated domains

asciilifeform: 'if.i.were.a.perl.script.would.you.love.fork.ing.me.uk. A 1.3.3.7' << l0l!

asciilifeform: for some reason this reminds me of mircea_popescu's article about the french tards at versailles who had to fuck one another's wives to be persuaded to get it up at all

asciilifeform: (~100% on usg.google)

asciilifeform: everybody from city dogcatcher and up now has 'seekrit, private!11' shitmail of his own.

asciilifeform: (see yesterday's lulzcollection)

asciilifeform: and now apparently not one usg chairwarmer uses the official microshit mail, go figure.

asciilifeform: ~1y ago..

asciilifeform: always how it goes, 'i thought i had a decent hammer, but then it was stuffed in my arse and i realized that...'

asciilifeform: (though i would like the hover thing now, lel)

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: well aha , it's why i spent 2hr retooling, and half hr to write post.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suppose i'll have to add those to the footnote-shitter before i write a mircea_popescu-length piece where this makes serious difference

asciilifeform: PeterL: answr'd

asciilifeform: PeterL: posted

asciilifeform: oh hm, looks like deedbot already found.

asciilifeform: krebs thing posted.

asciilifeform: doing disk caching by hand doesn't win you much.

asciilifeform: followed by the mempool thing

asciilifeform: the unparallelized-yet-wholly-parallelizable block verification is the biggest embarrassment in trb

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when i walk into a kitchen and find a rotting corpse, i do not begin by cleaning the stove

asciilifeform: by the MB

asciilifeform: hey i posted my profiturds

asciilifeform: care to publish ?

asciilifeform: of trb?

asciilifeform: (not even a seriously irritating bottleneck on a ~decent~ mech disk)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this optimization makes 0 practical difference, random access block reads remains the bottleneck on mechanical disks.

asciilifeform: fwiw.

asciilifeform: it jizzes out blockwise.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.h?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option#0904 << nein

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: those are just blocks shat to disk consecutively

asciilifeform: as distinct from mempool ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what means 'blk000n it's working on' ?

asciilifeform not quite done with article on subj

asciilifeform: ain't no exterminator writing biography of every rat that must die

asciilifeform: probably the only way to implement properly 'nothing to allcomers'

asciilifeform: lustration lolk

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pinoys speak similar language

asciilifeform: for worms - you need vermicide.

asciilifeform: go, shoot, they just break in 2.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is easier to shoot a man than 10,001 worms. which is WHY they send 10,001 worms.

asciilifeform: eh hey, would mircea_popescu have preferred if some organized equivalent of webster had imposed this crapola , as the original did, by doctoring dictionaries ?

asciilifeform: english, like leper, has been losing limbs for its entire life.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hey it'd be the, what, 27th time this happened?

asciilifeform: throw the buggerz off a lege.

asciilifeform: (there are others, e.g., asciidoc, etc., i have nfi who uses what, if any, of this, here)

asciilifeform: in that particular formatron

asciilifeform: ^ will do proper footnotes

asciilifeform: '(markdown-command "/usr/bin/markdown2 --extras footnotes"))

asciilifeform: (custom-set-variables

asciilifeform: btw, for other emacsists,

asciilifeform writing article re the krebs thing.

asciilifeform has worked with the 'real thing' and appreciates the efforts

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty high quality scamtron, it is ~indistinguishable from real 'arab business' to the casual naked eye

asciilifeform can almost physically hear this abortion sound

asciilifeform: nowledj.

asciilifeform: nono

asciilifeform: where the fuck does mircea_popescu get these people.

asciilifeform: i dun think even the tumblr gurlz have heard of this one yet.

asciilifeform: i am seeing this notion here for the first time, honest.

asciilifeform: usa has truly fallen behind the cutting edge of idiocy

asciilifeform: where, in zimbabwe ?

asciilifeform: waiwat bit

asciilifeform: what is peculiar about it ?

asciilifeform: 'GFH Financial Group (“GFH”) reported a net profit attributable to shareholders of $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2016...' << tiny little bugger

asciilifeform: oh hah so he unbanned the box at some point

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-12-01#1334846 << also pertinent ☝︎

asciilifeform: but fact remains - ddostronic networking - is retarded.

asciilifeform: now if someone were to drop a piano on krebs, i would point and laugh.

asciilifeform: !#s krebs

asciilifeform: 'Akamai has dropped Brian Krebs (http://krebsonsecurity.com) indefinitely due to the scale of the attacks.'

asciilifeform: in other hilarities, https://archive.is/gQsDD and https://archive.is/vKrRH

asciilifeform: or sumthing.

asciilifeform: and apparently while working on degree, yes, in Imbecility Studies

asciilifeform: and counts that there are enough chairs for the arses. or rather, orders monkey to count.

asciilifeform: best as i could tell, he's one of 2-3 dudes in charge of vetting muppets for photo ops with clitler, by... ordering some monkey to check their names against Db of Badness.
