mircea_popescu: old man schmuckssen calls over his wife. "honey, there's an arab prince at the door, wants to fuck you silly for a million bucks. what should i say to him ?"
mircea_popescu: "daddy, daddy, i heard these mean kids use two unknown words. theory and practice. do you know what is the difference ?"
mircea_popescu: after reading b-a log for the first time, little gavin schmuckssen went to his father
mircea_popescu: did i ever recount the joke about practice and theory ?
mircea_popescu: dude stop confusing can and will be. alf can pick up prostitutes in buenos aires, too.
mircea_popescu: PeterL you know your thinking is a nearly exact restatement of what i said last week ?
mircea_popescu: icre, of course, are hanbot's least favourite romanian food.
mircea_popescu: yes. in romanian is this very specific, traditionally canned vegetable paste
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, did we ever discuss what zacusca ended up in romanian ?
mircea_popescu: the sprat IS a sardine. that's what they're called in english.
mircea_popescu: prolly has 588 of them, all the same height, wearing the same mask
mircea_popescu: not just because of stuff like the above asciilifeform comment, but also because well... huge.
mircea_popescu: but yes, gossipd is the huge sort of project that looks like it'd benefit from a few failure reports from failed attempts before we seriously have a shot.
mircea_popescu: trinque guy seemed to be seriously working on it, was gonna say something in a coupla weeks a quarter ago.
mircea_popescu: oh srsly, oprah can not be broacast anymore now ? bwahahaha mkayt.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda why space war is inevitable. i see no problem shooting everything else out of orbit to fart my own
mircea_popescu: i don't use gmail and don't have a spam problem. but hey.
mircea_popescu: actually briefcase was yahoo i guess, the "media company"
mircea_popescu: they're still living off fucking google ads. which work about as good as an ant blowjob. since then, endless string of failures, briefcase, glass, g+ you name it
mircea_popescu: decimation mp's law! when i was born, the first satellite had just cost a fortune. by the time i had my first threesome, they were doing consumer phone via satellite. as i made my self billion, fucing romania launched a satellite on a shoestring budget.
mircea_popescu: and if they refuse to sign a contract, im going to sue them for refusing to sign a contract, which thewy actually have to do being a de facto monopoluy
mircea_popescu: but the very basic "all plaintext email is spam, throw it out" rule would do that.
mircea_popescu: this notion that infrastructure has power is ludicrous.
mircea_popescu: what's next, power rangers will hurt the bitrcoin foundation by not releasing further crap ?
mircea_popescu: or they break it, in which case they kill themselves but we still don't care (for the same reason original internet was robuts - rerouting)
mircea_popescu: i dun see how they do anything. either they maintain compliance with tcp/ip spec as is, in which case they do nothing
mircea_popescu: you drop all traffic except port 1337 and check sigs for that so as to only forward stuff to your own peers that they accept.
mircea_popescu: you don't even need to charge per se. just, PEER. as in, actually.
mircea_popescu: server that rejects requests on 80 etc is way harder all of a sudden
mircea_popescu: it could trivially work on existing infrastructure really. the ability to ddos only exists on some ports and in some circumstances as it is, because that's what the derps use.
mircea_popescu: exactly how it works here : we have a public slut (ie, gribble) who will convey a message to anyone, and who can trivially be silenced. otherwise, suppose unknown asks you to convey message to me. well ? why would you.
mircea_popescu: you know those hops in the traceroute ? well... the assumption is that they'll just take a packet.
mircea_popescu: decimation just auto-drop any packets coming from unknown host.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, all the web that matters will be visible to all the people who matter.
mircea_popescu: this will make "most of the web" inaccessible to "most people", but only if we measure "most" linearily.
mircea_popescu: 1Mpps has been seen, so... yeah routing over wot will not be a trivial problem. but it does have a trivial solution :
mircea_popescu: moving from 2mb gifs to 600mb .avis was a great reason to ditch the cdrom get a dvd
mircea_popescu: moving from asciiart tits to 500kb gifs was a great reason to ditch the diskette and put in a cdrom
