phf: i'm trying to figure it out from first principles :) (i haven'
t had time to look at the recent, i.e. past month, versions yet)
phf: well, it's conveniently two strategies: closed form solutions and constant iterators. if you don'
t have a closed form solution, you have to iterate, which you simply do at the upper bound constraint by a data type size. i don'
t see how theoretically it can be anything else
mod6: (for those who don'

t feel like climbing 20% inclines, so had girl take me to park. 20km driven to walk 3 or so. imagine the decay.
mod6: her haggard old bag of a mom didn'

mod6: didn'

☟︎ mod6: ah, and walking up mountain sides dodging bikers in bazerker mode doesn'
t help
mircea_popescu: used to. i suppose this place being ~a village doesn'
t help.
mod6: well, if you walk for 2/3h per day, maybe don'
t think of them as "shoes". perhaps, "proper foot equipment" or something.

https://github.com/PeterMLambert/keccak since I don'
t have my own server up yet
mircea_popescu: the categorical alternative (literally what gpg does now) fell on the grounds of "at least we don'
t need aes" ; the obvious "cut R into bits and use each" seems to my eye weaker, tho who even knows.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: this is the most brutal possible method that can still be called barrett : didn'

t already been shaped by tree's executioner
phf`: mircea_popescu: if you're implying that my plan for colo was to ~hire~ people ~from~ colocation facility to do a sensitive operation like hard drive replacement, then i can'
t even! :)
mircea_popescu: phf` that wouldn'
t be a problem in principle. just has to be done.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t expect overnighting is the point. what's the point is that there's little difference between a colo you email to and run of the mill "dedicated servers" hosting.
phf`: i've no idea where that straw man came from. shipping things from u.s. to russia is tricky, but everything else is inherent in the problem. a ~colo~ in russia only makes sense if i also can somehow facilitate trusted upkeep. whether or not we can overnight a hard drive isn'
t going to make a difference in that case
mircea_popescu: if i wanted that i could have it for the same coupla hundy or w/e. heck, apparently they'd even do it for free if we don'
t make fun of them for it.
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, this "your raid needs new hdds hurr" thing is not flying. i don'
t need to "hire" a "colo" for them to re-do the whole cherryservers bs for me, now do i.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t even care, sure, if they have their own state courier they're trying to prop up in this way, more power to them, we'll use it.
phf`: asciilifeform: i can'
t find any news updates, last i heard from people is that fedhl packages go, but spend weeks to months in customs, for "inspection"
mircea_popescu: i can'
t imagine the country actually works without some kind of such service though. i mean really, how do yo uget a wrench, walk to factory ?
phf`: are the servers sitting at vendors ready to ship to a destination, also is it going to go proper shipping container or through a consumer service? latter doesn'
t work reliably in russia and is generally discouraged
mircea_popescu: or rather, that's why normal people don'
t pick a hill in the midle of the jungle to plop down servers on.
mircea_popescu: i definitely want the dc to provide the uplink with w/e guarantee they can manage. i get it, outside of nato 99.999% isn'
t so common, but whatever they got.
phf`: the place to be is of course
http://www.mmts9.ru they do have 1/2 rack but i haven'
t tried them, since wasn'
t sure about our requirements. they can even get you a personal cage. antenna placement on the rooftop so we can put a microwave relay, the works :p
mircea_popescu: anyone inclined to go "oh i'd have done a much better job" after any particular doing is going to find himself buried under a thick wall of "why the fuck didn'
t you DO IT then!".
phf`: mircea_popescu: right, i figured paying is not going to be a problem, either directly with btc or in the format that you've described. finding a reliable colo, getting a number down. unfortunately i don'
t have a good feel for russian colo space yet, and people i talked to while happy with their colos didn'
t necessarily have tmsr demands.
mircea_popescu: phf` so the question is very specifically, what do they take, and how do we sort it out ; it's in no case a "let's filter out whoever doesn'
t take bitcoins"
mircea_popescu: phf` i don'
t specifically care what they take ; but whatever it is they take, we'll have to figure out a process.
phf`: there's a bitcoin craze in russia right now (i.e. talk shows on
t.v. discussing bitcoin as investment platform. dorky former FIDO node administrators talking about bitcoin mining on a rig in their apartments, etc.) so i wouldn'
t be surprised if i can find a colo that takes bitcoins. i haven'
t noticed one yet though
phf`: not home, and i also didn'
t have time to process the information in detail yet, but i piped in since there was conversation. depends on what we want, baseline avg 3000 rub/mo $50 to put a 1u rack, with a 100mbit line, 300W. line is typically not metered, but also not guaranteed. then depends on our needs, an unmetered guaranteed 100 mbit line will cost another ~~$100 mo (to 1gbit around ~$500), plus whatever over cap on power usage.
mircea_popescu: every nonprofit has one, including nonprofits that don'
t actually exist.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-06#1721786 << this, fwiw, isn'
t even the giveaway it used to be. i personally supervised the release of piles upon piles of posters in us university campuses, for a very modicum costs. people off fiver just print what you give them, and put it up. nothing keeps you from having them print something decent, and with the abundance of "kids who fucked around with adobe illustrator instead of doing
t ☝︎ mircea_popescu: you know the above ru may well be a case of "we don'
t deal with weirdos trying to get 1u for 1mo"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i really don'
t see point of buying less than 1 rack.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the amusing bit to my ear was the implicit "only good citizen is citizen who isn'

apeloyee: if N is 2^(K-1), then ordinary quotient won'

apeloyee: I assumed the elementary shift doesn'

apeloyee: goddamnit. it's FIXED!!! first sub-word one (which doesn'
t leak in our model), then by 1 word, then by 2, then 4, 8 and so on
apeloyee: fix word-size and bitness. otherwise, you don'

ben_vulpes: and what, a machine-understandable description of what each extra-spec command does? i didn'
t think anyone here operated machines that /thought/.
ben_vulpes: the response from the bots to what they can do. either they're all spec-compliant, respond the same way to the same set of commands, or they don'

ben_vulpes: should be binary, #
t-spec compliant or not.
mircea_popescu: but practice aside, shouldn'
