jhvh1: shinohai: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg|--vol] [--currency XXX] [--market <market>|all]) -- Return pretty-printed
ticker. Default market is Bitfinex. If one of
the result options is given, returns only
that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns
ticker for
that
three-letter currency code. It is up
to you
to make sure
the code is a valid currency (1 more message)
shinohai: nope it performs pretty much exact same functions,
though it shouldn't be
too difficult
to change it from buttfunex
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Bitfinex BTCUSD

test upto 363K+ blocks and into blk0019.
mod6: Update: Moving on
to FG #2. Will collect just over 1.0 Gb and
then do ent/dh
tests.
mircea_popescu: looks more like some 30yo douche found pics going
through "his" "gf's" phone, set up craiglist spam robot.
mircea_popescu: trinque shinohai meanwhiule deleted.
thanks
to scriba's archiving service i could read it.
mircea_popescu: davout i don't get it, what'd you ask around for ? people in
the wot who you know but we somehow don't ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "who could have predicted failure
to pay bills results in power outage" "california"
Framedragger: in which SF startups realise
that hosting all infrastructure on multiple fault lines is not
the greatest idea ever
shinohai: Oh
they are a gold mine,
this one happened
to be provided courtesy of a girl I did stream setup for xD
trinque: I see
that I'm not
the only one who reads CL personals for
teh lulz
davout: i'll be
traveling for
the
two next weeks, but i'll ask around when coming back.
mircea_popescu: also, emily blunt is a fucking gorgon, what are all
these people smoking. i'd rather watch barbara streisand gargle.
mircea_popescu: dumb broad and her lazy, ignorant
teenaged sister go into business cleanning up crime scenes, start a fire.
mircea_popescu: was a film re
this, pretty bad but relevant in context, what was it...
mircea_popescu: in no conceivable presentation is
this a low hanging fruit.
the odds of it actually being molested are lower
than baseline
Framedragger currently checking ripe db etc
to see how 2x4 hosts
things.
their dns servers are legally in seychelles.. etc.
mircea_popescu: recall,
the whole "us wants base" debacle ? diego garcia ?
shinohai: asciilifeform: no I am entrenched in
the Southern part of Reich unfortunately, would have
to relocate
to more friendly (and preferably Spanish-speaking) climes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah, gotta be independent,
they got a dispute with
the uk over chagos.
mircea_popescu: afaik it was indepoendent. not been keeping much
track.
mircea_popescu: but you're people not
trees, people
travel for
their job all
the god damned fucking
time.
Framedragger: (i mentioned 2x4 (russian hosting provider) above because
they are known for not giving a fuck about dmca or other usg laws, and responding with "your mother" (sic)
to requests
to
take down a hosted site which is running a botnet C&C)
mircea_popescu: the only substitute i would consider from
the fiat world would be a bulletproof variant, because i will literally not deal with peons who do not at least declaratively claim
to not follow usg law.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger no, re-re-read
the line i said read insistently. you do get some boxes for vps ing out of. either because cheap or because obsolete etc.
mircea_popescu: because
this is exactly what i wanted
to do
three hours ago and couldn't.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nope. a solved instance of
this problem would be me going "hey x, i want a new server for eulora, what do you got
that's good and where do i send
the fuckgoats" which returns within a day or
two with options and quotes which i pay which results in
the server being live sometime next week.
Framedragger: ack re. flow/direction of law. but re. 'no ajax', i imagine
the primary service offering being an unmanaged dedicated box, in which case i'd find it reasonable
to require of
the isp not
to peek at insides (unless external behaviour is ~spam, etc.)
mircea_popescu: shinohai
the idea is
to resolve
the problem not
to self-lick
the icecone.
shinohai: I would imagine
those needing
tmsr services could set up own cdn, no?
mircea_popescu: gotta keep it short lest it ends up longer
than
traditional slas.
trinque: Framedragger: he might want something, and
then what? y'all either deal or don't.
trinque: the
thing where law comes from
the sky instead of from men
takes
time
to unwind
Framedragger: true. for some stupid reason i had it in my mind
that mircea_popescu would vehemently oppose any such arbitrary restrictions. but
this was based on some inane interpretation of some misread
trilema
text, probably
mircea_popescu: besides, you're supposed
to maintain relations with multiple dcs anyway.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-10 17:10 mircea_popescu: no, actually, it concerned an isp which, like any other isp, can't afford
to actually pay a lawyer
to read all
the legalse spam being
thrown
their way.
the guilty party here is
the state of california, as per
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-18#1524561 mircea_popescu: Framedragger i have nfi, but i know for a fact
there's nothing in
tmsr or in nature
that says "person must provide impossible object in regular course of business".
davout: i'll ask around if people in my local meatwot have some experience with local DCs, don't
think
they'd bite
Framedragger: i'm not sure where
the 'isp should not care about content' line should be in
the context of
tmsr.
davout: well, i'm following
the conversation
mircea_popescu: other
than watching horses spin around on a plate-sized island.
mircea_popescu: davout what are you doing fgor a living
these days anyway ?
davout: is your point
that some work would indeed be required?
mircea_popescu: it's just not fucking worth it
trying
to "t&c" so
to speak.
trinque: mircea_popescu: suing, guy may have allegedly (blah blah) stolen some
things
mircea_popescu: notion seems
to be
that human psyche's principal job in average human is protection from change.
trinque: mk, maybe when
they bother
to go get
the "nambla" site
trinque: notion seems
to be
that somebody's gonna end up in room 101 for hosting
tmsr items
trinque: then one moves, but what's
that one? daily stormer or something?
mircea_popescu: about half of all
the ones i personally know (ie, middle class
tech kids) ended up
there
this way.
trinque: "no but
those are all honeypots; every single one!!!11!"
mircea_popescu: eh get out. pretty much
the only way independent,
tech minded kid can feed himself
today is
to do a good job of running an isp.
mircea_popescu: prolly cleannest item on a per-size basis known
to
the
tubes.
trinque: point being whatever is being done,
the host isn't doing it
mircea_popescu: trinque i seriously wouldn't expect
this sort of problem. who
the fuck is going
to be doing
that, i wish
to know.
trinque: and
there are guaranteed
to be petabytes of cp on aws and every other host
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the important point here is
that
the elimination of attack surfaces is sure
to produce vacuum packed spherical chickens. it is a necessary quality of physical existence
to have attack surfaces.
that's how you get laid, also.
mircea_popescu: can convert large piles of btc into
tits if you feel like, what.
Framedragger: btw just
to note, (at least initially) large part of bitcoin revenue would have
to be converted into fiat because upstream may require fiat. (sure, it'd be nice
to just be able
to ignore
these upstreams.)
mircea_popescu: for years google was fulla "oh, mp IN DANGER OF BEING EXTRADITED!!11". experts in
things and matters, quora style.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform come
to
think of nobody, afaik
there exists ONE SINGLE WEBSITE on
the whole internet for
the whole internet's existence
that documents
the "hey, check out
that
time usg got
told
to go dangle" also.
Framedragger: (this will sound cheesy but i do feel like i'm coming
to
this with a fiat'ish mind, by which i mean, underestimating
the power of
the wot. 'you
trust
this wot person
to make good, no fine print,
the end.')
mircea_popescu: huge
timesavers,
though, eliminating all
the gunk empire idiots need
to interface with each other's idiocy.
Framedragger: i do not mean 'restrictions on content' or any other inane shit. i mean response
time and so on.
mircea_popescu: if one needs
to read a pile of boilerplate
to not be stupid,
the pile of boilerplate ain't gonna help anyway.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: customer doesn't have a raid == 'well what did
they expect' i guess - granted,
that actually makes sense. just need
to be extra clear in
T&Cs...
