billymg: mircea_popescu: that's the plan, hoping to publish a few "guide" posts
billymg: i tried pressing trb on a gcc >5 gentoo box and iirc that went fine but make failed
billymg: next step will be getting mp-wp setup so i can have a proper www
asciilifeform: iirc they all have a perlistic 'gurl generator' going 24/7
mircea_popescu: fwiw i simply discard lots and lots and lots of "705babygirl 23F sub 1m What?" ; they come in at the rate of a few / minute, and who the fuck cares anyway. "think of it as an intelligence test -- that you failed", right.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's hard out there for a fat would-be whore that gets one message a year.
mircea_popescu: he has a point there.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 15:27 mircea_popescu: yes a bacillum is high tech arcana when compared to the mouthdribbler. nevertheless, the selector among high tech arcanna is precisely the bulk of undifferentiated biomass.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i see ipv6 as , at least in part, a deliberate scheme to make p2p ~impossible.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 16:55 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-13#1861970 << exact fig remains to be calculated, but orig point was that ipv4 is a small enuff 'room' that one can 'shout' in it and be heard.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: correct, it worx for a spell ( how long, depends on the particular shitrouter )
asciilifeform: when you send a udp packet, it opens 'ephemeral' path through nat, that for a spell can hear a 'reply' ( which on may nat's, does not actually have to come from the same ip you transmitted to )
a111: Logged on 2017-10-09 16:24 asciilifeform: ( observe that for hole punching, the 'server' does not need to be a heavy duty box that sits as 'star topology apex', but can be any of one or more boxes among the nodes themselves , at a particular time, with external ip. )
a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 16:25 mircea_popescu: the probability to observe less than one event in a 85899 assay set is what, 18% or so.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in ru there's a massive hunt going somewhere, they were dumb enuff to buy 1500 beasts from usa in '50s and spread in forest 'for fur industry'

a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 16:14 mircea_popescu: which is why all the "oh noes advertise ip" bla bla machinery is always a sign of idiocy on the part of "designer". trbi needs "ip backflow" like i need power rangers in my living room.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-13#1861967 << tbf, taking a net to the # of nodes where blind shooting is reasonably fast peer finder, takes a '1st stage rocket' of some form ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 15:13 asciilifeform: the ~86k packets is a worst-case avg, obviously, per 'birthday theorem' it will succeed almost certainly sooner

a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 15:10 asciilifeform: in the former case, it only needs to send 1 per second, to find a peer within 24 hours.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-13#1861810 << there's a list of things to send. kids are made douchebag through the process of finding said list, noticing "it works!" and going from there. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: thing is utterly indistinguishable from typical usgistani office drone "job", of data entry. it is a wonder anyone "misses work" to "play wow". exactly like "breaking law, not ate mcdonalds, ate burger king". wut ?!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> you're thinking a decade ago. they fixed this. << This. They have this "battle royal" thing now where everybody laffs over how they all die in vain
mircea_popescu: you're thinking a decade ago. they fixed this.
mircea_popescu: last september, computer ~= bong. guarantees nothing besides "lots of unearned income". as a result, wow is NOT similar to heroes 2
mircea_popescu: ye, he's not stupid in a way different from stupid. the frog's legs don't jerk because something to do with this particular frog. and so on.
asciilifeform: would be entertaining if erry world had a parallel shadow statue hell under it
mircea_popescu: "our idiocy works as proven by all the works of those who hated us, which we claim for ourselves because hey, what's in a claim."
mircea_popescu: kinda perverse, you know. sorta like a kakobrekla-run alt-trilema filled with effigy statues of the lordship.
asciilifeform: considering that tb didn't take off until euros packed themselves like spiders in a jar, in 'urban' hell..
asciilifeform: so delved into subj a bit.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been on a yr+ jp kick, attempting to read some of that 1337 poetry in original..
BingoBoingo: <Mocky> BingoBoingo, this is a short chick, btw, who walks around here alone on a daily basis, with a backpack for 6 years, never gets bothered << I suspect mircea_popescu's comment downthread explains it. A substantial set of the Latinos appear inclined to take anything that isn't bolted down, provided nothing bad happens to them from it.
asciilifeform: i dun dispute the model where folx with a working head, like thinking and playing with calligraphy brush an' rhyme, and where herbivority is not conducive to growing thinking head
mircea_popescu: they didn't do it for a good reason according to you. they did it for a good reason according to them.
asciilifeform: plenty of folx took it seriously, once yer in a platoon of folx ~equally adept at horse an' bow, then how to stand out.
mircea_popescu: let's approach it from this filum : in those societies which are "uncivilised", which is to say not yet rotten, the discussion of superlative achievement, as the hero (always male, of course, but let's leave that aside) is a plenitude. he can shoot the bow if the bow is known AND ride if the horse is known AND sail or raft or canoe AND sing if they have music AND AND AND
asciilifeform: 'a furore normannorum libera nos, domine!'(tm)(r)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's still a diff, in italy 3 harvests in year, but near moscow ~maybe~ 1
mircea_popescu: i would say that the best way to represent socialism, from early xtian communism to today's social media solipsism, is as a sort of meningitis.
mircea_popescu: yes a bacillum is high tech arcana when compared to the mouthdribbler. nevertheless, the selector among high tech arcanna is precisely the bulk of undifferentiated biomass. ☟︎
asciilifeform: the ~86k packets is a worst-case avg, obviously, per 'birthday theorem' it will succeed almost certainly sooner ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( and yes reality is a bit moar complicated, most bots are behind nat and won't be immediately reachable like this. but it is not impossible to picture a net with say 10,000 udp-reachable nodes . )
asciilifeform: at any rate no intelligently-written piece of shitware really needs a central control box, it merely gotta shoot at random, and will find its fellows.
asciilifeform: in the former case, it only needs to send 1 per second, to find a peer within 24 hours. ☟︎
asciilifeform: say it has 50,000 nodes. then 2**32 / 50000 =~ 85899 packets sent at random is all that it needs to find a peer and rejoin its net.
asciilifeform: let's do a small gedankenexperiment, btw: let's suppose a botnet using pure udp for signals (say, signed packet.) can it find peers by random probe ? answer is -- very quickly:
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i suspect that most likely it was part of a ddos, and the forged return address happened to match yours
asciilifeform: and dun seem to be a noad at all, for that matter
ave1: diana_coman, I now have a good version of the crc32 bitwise constant time algo, but I ran out of time for today, so eta probably tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: at the time they were released, this was a good tradeoff. meanwhile the earth aged.
Mocky: outside last night in the city, stones throw from the bay, staring up at street lights during the interminable wait at crosswalks, not a single bug circling street lights, not a spider web
Mocky: the insect situation here hard to fathom. they just about don't have any. i saw a moth here on the first day, very small. and another moth outside last night, tiny.
Mocky: she didn't say so and I didn't ask her directly, but I will. She seems like a good asset for making further media contacts and cultural info (topic of magazine) and not direct contact to locals
Mocky: local Qatari men are shoe-ins for high level company / agency / gov jobs and often inherit a lot of wealth, and only ~100k of them so they aren't exactly drawn to street crimes
Mocky: she says that ultimately every foreigner has a single named Qatari sponsor (typically company part-owner) who has the power to kick you out anytime and who gets hassled if you cause trouble
Mocky: BingoBoingo, this is a short chick, btw, who walks around here alone on a daily basis, with a backpack for 6 years, never gets bothered
Mocky: bought me dinner at an iraqi restaurant. seems like computer security is a huge thing here. even small companies like her magazine get 'cyber threats' at least weekly. bigger companies much more so. a lot of website and network hacking goes on.
Mocky: She showed me the Souq Waqif, a large "street market" 2 city blocks in size, about half indoors (although the indoor part looks like narrow streets with a roof) it's like the cultural center for Qataris. various musical 'bands' playing traditional drum music
Mocky: I met yesterday with a chick who does the social media and photography for a local magazine. She's not a local but seems to have a good set of connections and eager to help me out.
mircea_popescu: Mocky yes, a full report on this hawala business very valued accomplishment.
hanbot: anyway the idea is to have an exhaustive list of news outlets with their contact email made, after which i'll have her mail that blurb; i expect something like a week's turnaround, and will report when it's done. ☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: kinda works best in a full complement, need 4 people.
mircea_popescu: euchre not so difficult, so sometimes indulge with a girl or something. but rarely.
mod6: probably could make a mint on selling tickets to those events.
mod6: *nod* sometimes people throw them into a warm brandy drink. "hot tadi?" I think they're called.
mod6: i like a bit of cinnamon from time to time too, typically in a warm drink
mod6: <+asciilifeform> upstack, i suspect mircea_popescu has the answ to the riddle of why bitcoin hasn't killed wu et al -- orcs still perceive having the option not to use btc << They have the option, ~for now~. We know, that the whole world currently runs on "magic money", currently. However, my hunch is that "magic money" and worlds built on fraud can not live for forever. They can last a long time, however
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> make more than from coke in a few short years. << amen
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> if this ends up settled by the mailing of a large quantity of alfajores... keks << hahah.
mod6: I did score a goal though. (Should have had three if I wasn't such an out of shape pussy.)
mod6 just got back from playing hockey, for the first time in nearly a decade.
mircea_popescu: some random institution to employ a coupla gals that "weren't really working there".
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in lulz nobody likely gives a shit about : romania apparently has some natgas in its chunk of black sea shelf ; usg wants to steal this ; ro senate wrote a law for them ; ro commons rejected it, because this one guy (liviu dragnea) said so. his majority collapsed because "hungarian" miniparty changed its mind overnight (ie, transparently got bought out) and well... guess who is "accused" of supposedly having FORCED ☟︎
asciilifeform: it's a racke^H^Hliving...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i happen to know the 'logic', btw, it aint even a 'what countries pentagon plans for war', but dumb bean counter 'whom fewest translators for'
mircea_popescu: well, i guess the right answer to your q is that i'm way too lazy to put the work into it ? i guess simplest approach would be to convert a set of trilema records to postgres, and try your pg_trgm thing on it.
mircea_popescu: ie, what do you think is the trigram index of a 200kb file ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i used a 'trigraph' index, they're O(~n log n) , if yer interested. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i'll dump "search engine" as a category, same bit bucket "email" as a concept went, np.
asciilifeform: doomed, incidentally, approach -- they own (and undocumentedly) a good chunk of ipv4
asciilifeform: i think they use a balancer thing
mircea_popescu: large part of why wget is a lulz to me, like water pistol.
mircea_popescu: da fuck, english pronoun followed by exclamation point is a redirect because "greek roots" ? nonsense!
mircea_popescu: ie, it returns a redirect from the correct ip (at least i see duckduckgo.com. 403 IN A 23.21.193.169 here ?)
mircea_popescu: chick's 21, with a 3 yo and she thinks she's anything but barefoot and pregnant indian camp follower.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in "i don't think you know what those words mean", "I’m a geek person and I’m kinda nerd as well. I’m studying in human sciences and I’m a dancer. Also, I'm a young mom of a sweet lil girl who is 2 years old! :3"
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 23:56 mircea_popescu: the drug trade should wake up to the idiocy, start a remittance business
asciilifeform: i meant the rack as a whole
asciilifeform: so not much surprise that there aint a lively otc market.
asciilifeform: naturally cattle cannot operate a btctron. they'd have to delegate it to an actual person. but even ~these~ , in orcistan, seem to prefer to stash up usd.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had an old piece where mentioned orcs all over saving in usd, hanging on to erry benjie like it were a shard of the trooo cross. ~that~ is 1 of the elephants on which usg stands.
asciilifeform: and they're regularly gassed, wherever, thailand or pretty much any turd world shithole, usg dun even have to break a sweat
asciilifeform: sure, but it's a theatrical production, with roughly same physical impact as footballism
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, if local morons still act as if they lived in usg zone, notwithstanding they make 5k a year or so...
mircea_popescu: make more than from coke in a few short years.
mircea_popescu: the drug trade should wake up to the idiocy, start a remittance business ☟︎
