BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Basically. Your shiva hands are full though. In understand if this is
a least interesting problem you could fill them with.
cazalla: i actually saw this the other day
https://twitter.com/CAVIRTEX/status/567328589993897984 but let it slide as the website said something
a little different (BTC and LTC wallets have been disabled due to
a known issue. All customer funds are safe. Please be patient while we address the issue.)and i figured it would turn out as
a nothing, way to be wrong eh
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: the sheer amount of smoke and misdirection being sprayed over the disk diddler article is epic << Interested in producing
a likbez for qntra on this sort of disinformation, in this case specifically?
Adlai: swap is there as
a failsafe, it ran just fine 101 days without it, but i'd rather not take chances if things go crazy while i'm asleep
Adlai: some mix of: lazyness, the desire to periodically load my code into
a fresh image, and ansi cl portability
Adlai: asciilifeform: ok, $25/mo was seeming awfully cheap for
a datacenter where customers visit their inmates
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i did learn how to read
a datasheet in the mines.
Adlai: "i'm renting
a physical *(yes)* box" <- as in, "have i visited the box personally and confirmed that it occupies the same reality as me? _yes_"
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> i'm renting
a physical (yes) box for ~25 usd / mo << wherewherewhere
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell cazalla i forgot
a title! please to consider "CAVIRTEX, the biggest Bitcoin exchange in Canada, closes doors out of embarrassment "
mod6: It's
a shit-blizzard, Randy.
danielpbarron: also, the links to the public log from s.b-
a.link add an extra unnecessary '/' in the root directory
punkman: well v3 brings strict signature format, not such
a bad thing
kakobrekla: this takes us another step further away from
a potential cross sync doesnt it
kakobrekla: this is
a classic, do it right with ev- or do it wrong
jurov: i didn't dare to find out just to keep
a toy afloat
jurov: at that price maybe
a seat at my guerrilla home router.. but that one has only
a celeron and main computer is too noisy to keep on all time
mike_c: down the road, with
a bit of scale, you could sell him dedicated instance without ruinous one-time cost aws imposes
mike_c: asciilifeform: so if you could get dedicated instance from jurovvps at non-ruinous cost this would be
a good thing.
mike_c: if you buy
a rack in
a colo you'll never have the same kind of reliability
jurov: and back to topic, currently i'm about reselling aws stuff, that's
a start. i know some trustworthy people here that do vpses, i'll ask them for cooperation
lobbes: asciilifeform: unless i misunderstand, jurov isn't opening
a clinic for the poor << Fair enough. Point taken
lobbes: Sounds like
a cool learning opportunity though
mike_c: you could hire
a service to handle tier 1 monitoring and wake you up if there's an emergency.
mircea_popescu: but then you gotta commit to make it
a job. i think there's
a pretty decent living in it, but whadda i know.
mircea_popescu: if you want, i can front you the capital to colo
a few servers wherever you want, and work off that.
jurov: re: simpleshell.com everything in chroot was killed after 15 minutes, that's is quite
a difference from permanent setup, and abuse reports were last blow
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> jurov why not run
a bitcoin host ? we kept wanting it << yeah!
mod6: everytime i've ever followed -current i end up with
a lot of panic!s
mircea_popescu: so it's not ACTUALLY
a big deal in any sense. you're not supposed to run experiments in production.
punkman: no I mean we need
a website with names and photos
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not
a problem of technology asa much as ideology, you realise. currently, if you ask consumer why X item exists, it's because "that's what the factory makes". "and it has to be sold^H^H^H^H marketed to me". as opposed to, you know, because this is what I WANT.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the industrial paradigm is not any one particular thing, but the idea that the production of material artefacts is the result of
a process not of
a will.
ben_vulpes: i recall
a story from
a stephenson book, about
a machine that computed with chains run through computing boxes
mircea_popescu: in any case, strategically speaking, it will be
a lot easier, cheaper and blood-economical to unseat the fiat atrocity supporting the welfare state by destroying the "industrial" paradigm.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: basically, I want to play music ? i can now get
a 5 x 6 sheet of polyester, glue cds on it printed with this thing, and plug it in.
mircea_popescu: ironically, it may actually have
a lot in common with the cd-r burner.
mircea_popescu: basically this is quickly becoming
a problem of logjammed. "we need
a decent-er system design, to make oses on". "yes, for which we nbeed
a new chip paradigm". "yes, which really needs better systems design for oses and such". "yes, which..."
PeterL: need to reinvent it at
a smaller, cheaper scale?
mircea_popescu: the problem with clean is largely
a matter of size. it's easier to keep
a large space clean.
PeterL: how big is
a chip fab clean room?
mircea_popescu: lobbes nah. io should stop spamming. Xuthus i don't actually code worth
a shit.
ben_vulpes: yeah learn you
a common lisp or something
lobbes: lol, there ought to be
a '!up all' function
PeterL: asciilifeform: are you setting up
a clean room in your garage?
ben_vulpes: perhaps next time i take
a whack at my bush i'll sculpt it into
a cockbrow
ben_vulpes: i was hoping for
a /mircea_popescu eyes
a cockbrow
ben_vulpes: nah man this goes back to why
a btc torrent thinger isn't worthwhile
mircea_popescu: i guess. but this is
a definite meritous future thing for s.nsa to pursue.
mircea_popescu: i am certainly more interested in
a "print your own chips" road to freedom than in the "print your own guns" approach.
mircea_popescu: jurov: they say bluray has pit size 150 nm, track pitch 320 nm.. allows for quite
a density << easier to do on the disk than on the ic, but you have
a good point there.
mats: 01:41:05 asciilifeform: ... 2) proven as concept in 'linux on hdd head controller' ~2 yrs ago ... << link?
a googling wasn't helpful
mircea_popescu: just, there's
a difference between isis becoming so infested with westerners it starts thinking like them and isis simply being mistranslated.
