mp_en_viaje: if not -- not. but YOU'RE THE ONES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS. cuz you're the ones fucking living there, whose business this is, and etcetera. wth already.
mp_en_viaje: take out advertising in local paper as to how they defraud businesses, which is perfectly legal if plain statement of claims in ongoing legal proceeding, and there you go.
mp_en_viaje: or w/e, their legal dept settle it out.
mp_en_viaje: claim 2x what you paid during the entire history, let the judge sort it out.
mp_en_viaje: if indeed they just hitched you to an existing pipe and pretended, it's time to serve them papers registered with the whatever local intendencia handles business fraud.
mp_en_viaje: you should in principle should [have been] able to see this, in the fucking dc, as it's visibly self-evident.
mp_en_viaje: so the notion that "latechco is protecting other derps" can't possibly hold any water : you're the only derps on the two 100mb lines and the one c-block route you pay for.
mp_en_viaje: thus logically, you have "1 of this and 2 of that", not "1/256 of this and 1/5 of that".
mp_en_viaje: similarily, the routes they (latechco) advertise are discrete at the c-block level, meaning pizarro's allocation is ONE WHOLE ITEM, not a fraction.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-06 14:43:59 BingoBoingo: It is appearing that is the case. It seems Latecho is creating our pipe by using a router that splits our bandwith from a bigger Antel pipe coming into Latecho. Rather than having acquired a line for the purpose of serving us, it appears from this crisis and their reaction that they simply contracted more bandwidth to a pipe they already had.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1940903 << this is dubious. no actual data to go on but the generals : there's obviousl;y ganged multi-gb megaswitches available, in actual places where actual transit happens. say frankfurt. i doubt obscure antel of nowhereland has ZERO 100mb lines, and thus in order to get 200mb you have to cut down a 1gb line. seems rather the 100mb is made by welding two 100mb lines togeth
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-06 14:35:55 asciilifeform: then to hang directly off antel may be the ticket.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1940895 << you know, this really should have been discovered and handled at any prior time than when it became a "if quickly" sorta matter.
mp_en_viaje: pizarro not only failed to bring new blood, but effectually killed other people's efforts at same!!!!
diana_coman: fuck; those guys were meant to publish their plans+ reviews today, ugh.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Not if you are using the qntra name servers instead of a host file to resolve
mp_en_viaje: no, keks. hey hanbot_abroad your blog is down wtf sorta operation are you running there !!eleventy11
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: that makes younghands.club up at least; good to hear, thanks.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: The DNS server IPs are now both down. Shared server is still up.
mp_en_viaje: there's nothing to be gained by you manning the f5 galley on top of everyone else.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, listen, take the weekend off / do some writing / whatever you don't need the pizmess for.
mp_en_viaje: ie, if you had a healthy customer base built in the intervening peacetime, this wouldn't even be much of a problem, per se. and if you don't build same, nothing else will be any kind of solution, no matter what it is, up to and including god's own hand coming down from heavens above holding a shimmering rjack finished in pure samite.
diana_coman: now ossasepia.com seems to be down too; is latech again just nullrouting everything or what?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-06 14:16:09 asciilifeform: asciilifeform does not expect that anyone will want to ask for his advice re how to do a 2nd isp, if we cede this stalingrad.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1940879 << i honestly don't think specific derpitude in uruguay is the problem. sales is the problem, and has been, and i expect shall remain.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-06 11:57:00 mp_en_viaje: https://archivebox.io/ << this interesting to anyone btw ? since apparently we're doing a whole lotta python nao ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-06 13:58:21 asciilifeform: before this escapes >> read it, and looked useful, until got to the part where python3.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-06 13:13:18 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: do you imagine that folx will subscribe to a 'you might have to flip your ip erry 4hrs' isp ?
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1940853 << this is funny because you're the only one here who had, for years, hosted your blog thus. but yes, untenable in practice.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: DDoS was a thing before Cloudflare, but I don't recall random i.e. without explicit demand DDoS being a thing until Cloudflare came around.
mp_en_viaje: well... there's 0 chance anyone connected to irc from THERE, so...
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, understand, pre-distributed clients connect to specified ip. there's no easy way to change the ip, as it lives in a config file on player side.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-06 13:10:55 BingoBoingo: For all I know the DDoS is done by the Cloudflare sales department
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1940849 << this is, ultimately, about even odds.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: sadly for production server I don't think it's useful to change the IP; I suppose we are lucky in that it's now rather than after eulora release.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: If you find the proposition useful take .230 through .235 for the eulora server
mp_en_viaje: yeah, it's not in principle possible to run a game server "with secret ip". moreover, all domain names always resolve to an ip as well, the whole "cloak" bs is ... well, you know.
asciilifeform goes to horizontal again, must bbl
asciilifeform: this is tru
diana_coman: asciilifeform: trouble with production server is that people connect to known IP; can't quite ask players to change IP
diana_coman: meanwhile production Eulora server unreachable; fwiw the testing server is still reachable.
BingoBoingo: Yesterday's liberating sense of uncertainty solidly replaced today by dreadful sense of uncertainty.
asciilifeform: ty BingoBoingo . re the rest , mp_en_viaje has it 100% , atm we dun even know wtf this was
mp_en_viaje: and in general, you knwo, move to reduce unknowns.\
asciilifeform was in the midst of setting up a (dulap-side, hence would say nuffin re ~total mass~, but at least sumthing re ~type~) probe , but did not live long enuff to finish.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-06 19:25:34 mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, what's wrong with "i will absolutely need a proper packet capture here, the colorful graphs and choice epithets don't help. can you send the relevant .pcap files over please"
asciilifeform: atm asciilifeform is without capability of deploying or even properly testing logotron patches.
asciilifeform: if diana_coman or lobbes get to this 1st, i will later sign & mirror the patch .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: it was on asciilifeform's chalkboard, but in the cacophony of disconnectism etc neglected it .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: it has to come back out.
diana_coman: I wanted to say that I read a bit around the shlex python thing too but I never used it before so still unsure re direct fix
asciilifeform: the 'shlex' thing.
asciilifeform: will have to revert it by removing the double-quote support and making from scratch, asciilifeform tried, like complete chump, to use a built-in py knob for it
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-06 18:44:29 mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, iirc asciilifeform fixed this and i think also issued vpatch
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1941077 << looks like this bug i ~introduced~ in 'sept_fixes', not fixed
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-06 15:44:59 mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, iirc asciilifeform fixed this and i think also issued vpatch
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1941077 - I don't see it in either of the last 2 vpatches; fwiw I looked in the reader's code too: the tokenizer treats the ' as start of a quote and then fails for not having the end ' it expects
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-06 18:42:28 BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: From what I can see it looks like they went ahead and blackholed a portion of the IP space. half the rockchips, dulap, and another IP
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, don't have to do it right now, let your boss wake up, why not.
mp_en_viaje: there's extremely little anything to go on, and it's not ALL the fault of some dude named oscar
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Aite, Imma send your text over
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-12 12:47:56 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: atm we still have 'kolhoz' bandwidth, i.e. 'all you can eat', but i expect if we put up an image paster it'll saturate the pipe 100% . ( naturally if mircea_popescu wants to make arrangements to get monster pipe specially for this experiment, i'ma work with him to make it go. but promises to be costly. )
mp_en_viaje: anyway, the naive impression was that the (~deliberate~) upside of "kolhoz-style" is passive "ddos" mitigation, whereby pizz pipe absorbs individual hits in this manner. was this intended function ? was it ever measured/monitored ? did it critically fail, what happened ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-08 11:31:29 asciilifeform: i vaguely suspected btw that all the major bugs in bot would be found in disconnect handling. piz pipe is so stable that not seen naturally-occurring disconnect yet...
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, what's wrong with "i will absolutely need a proper packet capture here, the colorful graphs and choice epithets don't help. can you send the relevant .pcap files over please"
mp_en_viaje: nor is the situation looking any better from the converse end. was eg http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-08-30#1932422 ever followed up on ? can you folk answer whether you're 1% or 99% saturated during normal course of business ? maybe you just hit the upper bounds on bw and this is how it looks ?
BingoBoingo: ? sucediendo." << Is this the sort of response I should send before scheduling a sit down?
BingoBoingo: "Can I get a packet dump from at least one of the floods before sitting down and discussing options for moving forward. The graphs seem to show when activity is happening, but they lack information that could be used to put together a mitigation strategy. Is the incoming traffic UDP, TCP, ICMP, etc? Is there any information that suggests an origin or origins. Hay una falta de información forense que pueda ayudar a evaluar lo que est?
mp_en_viaje: "here's the 5k packets you received during 10 minutes, LISTED. we can't handle over 10/s, sorry" is one thing. "here's some colors" is... another thing.
mp_en_viaje: so i can't really say anything intelligent on THAT score.
mp_en_viaje: the 7007245 hits for 24 days of june (2016!) ~averages~ to almost 300k a day, meaning it peaks above that, meaning etcetera. ima stop quoting these, but the idea is : i can't even currently guess whether your contact deems 1 connection/second a ddos. maybe it does, nfi, no way to tell from those derpy graphs. is it 10 ? 100 ? dude has no fucking idea either
mp_en_viaje: but the overarching point : a certain amount of toy "ddos" is ~GUARANTEED~. carries no meaning, attaches to no identity, has nothing to do with you in any way. it's like "a certain level of hardship is guaranteed outdoors", unfucking avoidable.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, do you see the difference between my cascade of links and that ?
mp_en_viaje: and so following, i could keep quoting these, from http://trilema.com/2016/the-internet-of-shit/ to whatever, http://trilema.com/2017/remember-the-security-hole-automattic-refused-to-fix-back-in-2014/?b=the%20live&e=log#select shows, specifically, 202136 hits between 05:56:35 and 06:01:56, that's then 1k connections/second or thereabouts...
BingoBoingo: Oscar sent this graph last night http://pizarroisp.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/recentgraph.png I suppose I can ask again for a packet dump or some sort of information on the origin of the traffic.
mp_en_viaje: http://trilema.com/2019/trilema-images-no-longer-showing/#comment-127686 item resulted in... umm... 2tB/day = 2×8×1024^2÷86400 = 194Mbps SUSTAINED AVERAGE for that day.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-06 13:05:51 asciilifeform: ddosism i suspect will follow all attempts to build republican isp. and will appear at the maximally effective time, i.e. when resources have already been sunk into buildout, long-term contracts with pipe seller signed, etc
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1940843 << it's very difficult to evaluate key metrics because of the extrmely poor quality of available data. a certain amt of "ddos" is ~extremely~ common, and in no way or manner related to anything or to any degree intentional. i periodically published on trilema lists of what'd qualify as "ddos" by 1999 standards say. let me fish some out, why not.
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: hm, my deployed code is pressed up to active_disconnect; I'll check the following 2
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, iirc asciilifeform fixed this and i think also issued vpatch
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1941060 - > http://logs.ossasepia.com/log-search?q=%22I+don%27t+intend%22&chan=trilema apparently ' is trouble
mp_en_viaje: in fairness, it's entirely possible they don't even know what it is / how to make one.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: From what I can see it looks like they went ahead and blackholed a portion of the IP space. half the rockchips, dulap, and another IP
asciilifeform goes to lie down for a spell, is feeling ill, brb.
mp_en_viaje: a cool then.
asciilifeform: at this pt i'ma take whatever advice mp_en_viaje offers , re how to work these.
mp_en_viaje: im trying to provide you folk with what i expect you want (or else nfi why you're discussing it here), ie an experienced sounding board for your business
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-04 22:01:52 mp_en_viaje: personally has no intention of pulling the plug over diana_coman 's inability to do smg work today because of this for instance ;
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i already said that http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940475 ; this hasn't changed notwithstanding it seems the one day is turning into a long weekend.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i already said that fuck
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-06 15:13:21 mp_en_viaje: as it turns out, it's a hollow spec, entirely holy water dousing. the orcs are just as pantsuit as the zeks, they're just too stupid to express it in specific forms, but otherwise will pantsuit reliably anyways.
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1940981 - fwiw I think this is true 100%.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-06 17:35:49 asciilifeform: then will actually fulfill mp's orig spec of 'own fucking line, with no one to say 'we pulled you to protect our other derps' )
asciilifeform currently forming impression that mp_en_viaje dun even wants to wait for latech call, or e.g. these , and that time to evacuate ?
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform wanted to know the folks in line for Rockchip
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, as there was no pizarro in 2016, i dun think this has any bearing ? or wha tare we talking about ?
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, sure, but that's unrelated. "i had not what to sell" is not acceptable answer to "why not sold ?" much like "maybe it just dissapeared" is not acceptable ansser to "what happened to content of safe", as per prior discussion re tech and magic.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: he's the renamed d00d. iirc was originally this, aha
ossabot: Logged on 2016-03-31 18:48:02 gernika: asciilifeform: fyi I made a trip to eetools HQ today and came back home with a curiosity: EmMax plus rom emulator - connects to LPT port - comes with console app. It does *not* however appear to support dos - win95 is as far back as it goes it seems.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i aint actually disagreeing in re 'must sell'. but pointing out that also must have ~what~ to sell.
