asciilifeform: as i picture it, a, e.g., mircea_popescu , would apply the only known pill: to create a kind of miniature british raj, where the locals know the consequences of misbehaviour ☟︎
asciilifeform: --- but as a british d00d in 1890s!!

asciilifeform: but recall, i started by asking for 'the book' and for it to be as thin as reasonably possible (but not thinner..)
asciilifeform: the funny bit is, that was when i formed picture of nsa as 'serious org'
asciilifeform: briefly upstack: as i once described, many years ago asciilifeform actually tried to sign up for nsa! was , unsurprisingly, turned down ( you get a ream of paper even if turned down! )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sweeping a floor for beloved comendante hasta y por la siempre, as gurl does, is quite different from sweeping floor for salary from hitler. even if same broom and same floor somehow.
mircea_popescu: except for the part where IT IS MY CASH, they could just as well have been "government employees"
trinque: not nearly so much as "omg caught pirate robertz" or "pedo dark web lair"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> not even the directorate which runs the gavins, the hearns, ever seems to leak so much as a drop. << the reason is that utterly nobody gives a shit.
asciilifeform: not even the directorate which runs the gavins, the hearns, ever seems to leak so much as a drop.
asciilifeform: ( just as crypto directorate is )
asciilifeform: document also of slight interest in re discussion of ntp, and issues of time synchronization in general. apparently unsolved problem for usg just as well as for victims.
asciilifeform: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/files/DevelopersGuide.pdf << for aficionados strictly -- details of implant protocol, where gibblets are disguised as tcp replay packets. apparently standardized across this particular directorate.
asciilifeform: '...initial plan for concealment host is as a day planner.'
asciilifeform: 'Worked as head of Software Engineering at Mediatech Inc. from 2004-2006' << who will be the first to name this illustrious fella.
asciilifeform: various cisco rootkits, also, but these i regard as a snore
trinque: and if I wanted that I'd want to do it as a "mempool explorer" tool
mircea_popescu: i concur. "unconfirmed tx" is improperly thought of as a tx.
asciilifeform: 'AVG will sometimes heuristically identify Raptor/Melomy/Ferret trojans as, well, Trojans (duh). However, in many cases this heuristic detection can be avoided by renaming the .exe to a common installer name such as setup.exe. There may be other names that can be used – Windows itself recognizes a few "installer" exe names and slaps the little shield icon on there by default and also does that weird "this program didn't install c
mircea_popescu: well no, let them talk to each other as they do now exactly.
mircea_popescu: conceivably can use current trb as your genesis for this.
davout: well, as i understand it the end result is a different set of binaries that talk together through a $to-be-defined queue mechanism
mircea_popescu: keeping a pile of ALL utxos, as the alternative, is not very good, because you end up storing a bunch of (potentially toxic) crap
davout: as far as the wallet is concerned it's pretty much "when new address is added, rescan blockchain, have relevant txes in specific collection"
asciilifeform: davout: the '~2gb tops' may (or may not) be true currently, but it is a fundamentally unbounded quantity. as discussed in 2 very recent threads with mircea_popescu re 'proton decay' and ultimate lifespan of bitcoin
asciilifeform: all versions factory-pwned, just as suggested by phuctor.
asciilifeform: what else she wears as jewelry ? concertina wire ?
mircea_popescu: aha. ended up used as costume jewelry.
asciilifeform: i dun expect to live to so much as see from a distance, a female so much as touching a cnc machine
mircea_popescu: and there's nothing wrong with women fucking, nor with the actress, cnc miller's or floor washer's art. heck, god knows i've had my private female property engage in all of those. but it sure as fuck ain't academic, forgetaboutit.
mircea_popescu: i don't give a shit. there's a woman on her knees polishing my floor as we speak. you propose her trade is academic also ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform VIDEO lectures / podcasts are entirely fucking useless for any academic purpose, as i'm sure you know.
asciilifeform mildly surprised that there is still such a thing as lectures in berkeley, and that anyone bothered to film'em
asciilifeform: '“This move will also partially address recent findings by the Department of Justice, which suggests that the YouTube and iTunes U content meet higher accessibility standards as a condition of remaining publicly available,” Koshland said. “Finally, moving our content behind authentication allows us to better protect instructor intellectual property from ‘pirates’ who have reused content
mircea_popescu: which nevertheless he will do, as per alf's "there's no shortage of usg cowsies who WISH to be such."
asciilifeform: ( while we're on subj, gotta wonder how many of the 'death ray' folx even ~did~ ever do any such thing as running tor, 'dealing on darkmarket', etc. and how many -- simply idiots, infected with usg shitware and then 'plea bargain' because 0 effective defense )
asciilifeform: does, e.g., heartbleed, qualify as 'good toy' ? considering that openssl was known, to everyone who gave half a rat's arse, to be a cistern of liquishit, long prior ?
ben_vulpes: in more lcs gold: http://archive.is/XcC3N << not only are the damned things made of paper and disintegrate as soon as you drop them in the water, but the amount of money that the usg.navy has burnt on them is actually so embarrassing as to be worth a classification fight
trinque: all scripting languages written in C are about as syphilitic
trinque: as always with tools, there is not a one-size-fits-all rule to be dumbly applied
mircea_popescu: Framedragger imagine you have a 64 bit maxint stored as binary tree (provedly - fastest) and now you seek... how many nodes ?
mircea_popescu: fx = 2x can be flattened into (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6) etc. this clearly flattens it in space, but just as clearly fucks up the time. now you have to seek.
Framedragger: first off, the former has a less clear attack surface, may depend on script in question, etc. second off, may scale not as well (no this is not the same as kiddie complaining that an rdbms is "not web scale").
Framedragger: i can't see how i can be convinced that launching script-specific php processes is ~same as a webserver allocating a standardised additional unit of its resources (memory / thread etc.)
mircea_popescu: pile-of-.html-files exposes your directory structure to the world ; badly set permissions have the same effect as i dunno, mysql with an open hole.
mircea_popescu: and the notion that you won't expose the language to the web is not equivalent to the actuality that you opt to use such a banal language nothing can be done which to your mind is equivalent to "not exposing". the man who doesn't lock his door because his chamber contains no maid is not the same thing as the man who doesn't lock his door because his maid is more danger to the youths about than they to her.
Framedragger: as regards language choice, yeah, i see your point, "just use the right tool". thing is, with an *actual* static site, you would not expose the language to the web, at all. the only attack surface would be that of the webserver. cf. a wordpress site which as folks say is a "web shell with blog functionality on the side" :)
mircea_popescu: that you go fd.com/article/comments/5/reply/ or somesuch and i go mp.com/article/ is not so much a difference as it appears.
mircea_popescu: turn it any way you want, a flat, disk-bound website IS in point of fact a "dynamic" website loaded into a de facto disk-bound database. the only difference is that you chose to stupidify the index, which is now "exposed" to the user as a band-aid measure over the fact that you failed to do anything with it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re static : in context "static" denotes "how much comes from the disk as opposed as through cpuization", there's no other measure. a page stored as files with the extension .html is ~slightly~ more static than a page which is stored as files with the extension .txt in a directory structure that is their de-facto index and are then mixed together into a thing whenever a page is called.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger thinking about it, the ~only correct solution is for the mp-wp maintainer to remove mysql in favour of a flatfile "db" system. then it will be properly static, or as close as its job allows.
Framedragger: sure, but in that case one may as well just implement a gpggram-to-blog-comments interface (not that it's a wholly bad idea or anything)
Framedragger: my maybe-convoluted personal plan was to have a static site generator but to have the comment box be rendered by a dynamic component (hence loaded separately upon user clicking to comment, or sth.) that component does the 'fraud prevention without JS' magic (like with trilema's comments - IP address is sent to html form to be returned as hidden value / whatnot). when comment is submitted, it gets added to some queue
Framedragger: i guess they could include blog post number at least, but then not full proper quotation as you say. arbitrary selection within a DOM element only possible with some JS (trilema and archive.is at least have that JS piece tucked nicely in one place, not a total horror)
Framedragger: lobbes: selection as in on the website, to provide unique href to selection?
danielpbarron: so like.. as payment for?
Reuel: as in news
Framedragger: Reuel: just fyi, and it's only my humble opinion, but you don't need the context of the whole trb to do the symlink experiment. from what i took of it, it's a matter of testing how various filesystems (probably starting off with ext4) can manage with (very) large numbers of nodes and large numbers of links to nodes. how seek times increase with those numbers of links to links, etc. (as an fs overhead, on top of hdd/sdd).
ben_vulpes: if invest time as well, returns are denominate in knowledge.
pete_dushenski: not quite as portable. jew's gotta stay on his toes imo.
asciilifeform: no one will ever confuse anything we might recognize as trb for any artifact from the distant Planet of Sane People.
asciilifeform: but iirc there was indeed a thread, where mircea_popescu suggested multiple log streams, that can be separated or combined as necessary
asciilifeform: vermin-zapping worx best as part of a balanced died, of making friends with non-vermin.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it asked, and asked, and asked, as far as i can tell, a great many peers
asciilifeform: (miner can, if he likes, connect mouth hose directly to own arse, for so long as his blocks validate, he will simply forgo the fees then )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as is screamingly obvious from the earlier thread with mircea_popescu -- the debug log is terrifyingly inadequate for ~any serious work
asciilifeform: digested, as per the log, more or less immediately
phf: bhai is basically hindi for brother, which is bhratri (bratr) in sanskrit, which is same word as russian "brat", english brother, etc.
mircea_popescu: i do not believe node lost connectivity for as long as five total minutes, let alone straight minutes ; this however is a very iffy point to prove because hey, ~connectivity~.
asciilifeform: clinch is : getheaders ALSO WANTS A HASH as starting point ! ALSO won't work by height !!
asciilifeform: which you are expected to do (because he was dropped as a child) using either a bastard's header, recursively as discussed earlier, or 'getheaders'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not necessarily, orphanage may or may not have unwedged it, as it discards old orphans when new appear.
asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu , as you can probably tell, if node misses the window when $block was being actively thrown at it, then it has only these two knobs for attempting to get it ☟︎
asciilifeform: it sure as fuck isn't . which is why it has to be massaged out from the log segment known to contain it.
shinohai: Whatever the outcome of the node wedge fix is, I need to write all this down as it may be a powerful tool to fuck with enemy in the future.
mircea_popescu: nope. it's been working continuously and undisturbed for as long again at least.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol it isn't as if i had 'go and do it or voodoo curse!1!'
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: block debugger would be like my 'blkcut', except for ~block~, as output by blkcut, would display header, transactions, etc.
asciilifeform: what i meant is, i specifically do not have the most basic means of answering the most basic questions about the blocks, other than their bitwise identities as pictured earlier
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's a major part of the problem, everything can appear as orphans to a portion of the network only.
asciilifeform: because, http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1212 >> as i currently understand it, in this case, reorg does not fire.
asciilifeform: ruled out connectivity as culprit ?
mircea_popescu: and inasmuch as node wasn't capable of extracting itself naturally, and it IS a trb node, this qualifies as successful attack against network, by and large.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yeah ; just using linux standard item, we've not specifically migrated as of yet
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, i found a trb node which is locked on block 419373 and dumps all blocks as unacceptable bastards
asciilifeform: btw when i first saw ^ photo i parsed it as a wtf, because of the peculiar position of the ballsack, it looked as if it could be a hyena-like concave proboscis, holding a dildo
mircea_popescu: i read it lingually, as in http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/take-it-all-560x874.jpg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i read 'approach' phf's observation literally, as in 'walk up to'
asciilifeform: (google is 'helpful' as always)

trinque: fine opportunity to use his as an example. low value guy, non-essential. public flogging.
mircea_popescu: phf the stripper offwork thing is a toss-up i guess. it depends a lot on the environment or something ; i've known both kinds, ie "girl next door by day champion stripper by night" as well as "stripping is my whole life and my car plates read TITTY"
asciilifeform: dunno that i've ever seen such a thing as a 'common lisp or scheme job' advertised publicly.
