asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922900 << i dunthink i've ever witnessed the corrupted db (tho i believe the folx who have.) possibly because i have never run node off anything other than always-on sinusoidal inverter ups, tho ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 22:25 mod6: Couple of other things that I wanted to mention quick, girlattorney: Just be sure to make frequent backups of your entire blockchain. Be aware also that TRB does not handle power-outtages very nicely as BDB can get corrupted; UPS and the like can help to mitigate this.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922900 << imho it is foolish to take down a trb noad (i.e. allow it to fall behind) simply to copy the db. the best backup for a trb noad is a 2nd, 3rd,... node. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 22:16 mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922542 << There is a patch that is not part of the main TRB vtree that does this, but it'll have to be patched in manually. And it most likely would need to be "re-ground" to apply cleanly ontop of your current pressed tree. However, if we can find a time where we could work together on it, I might be able to help you get that part going.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922895 << recall that mp_en_viaje prescribed that the wallet oughta be sawed off into own proggy. imho this is entirely Right Thing. but no one has yet found the free hands with which to do, afaik ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: aaand gcc broke support around same time.
asciilifeform: ... and mips in general. ( how do you suppose the ball-of-shit arm arch became dominant. to this day chinese pay tribute to britain for 'permission' to make arm. why ? at one time mips had patent, but expired in 2009 or so. and in march of '19 orig. mips verilog entirely opensoresd and made public... yet 0 fast mips on the market. guess why. ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: near as i can guess, this was done in order to help kill loongson sinomips. ☟︎
asciilifeform: this wouldn't even be interesting ('hey use pre-castration snapshot') except that this snip pre-dates addition of musl to buildroot.
asciilifeform: ftr : horse's mouth, where above. aaand, soon after: 'Mon Dec 1 19:06:32 UTC 2014 ... Remove the support for generating mips1/2/3/4 code since it has been deprecated for more than a year now. Also remove the unnecessary kludges in packages for it.'
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in shitgnomery, '2013.11-rc3, Released November 26th, 2013 Fixes all over the tree. Architecture: Mark MIPS I, II, III and IV as deprecated.' ('buildroot' www)
asciilifeform: mod6: as i parsed it, she already is using tunnel.
mod6: Anyway, just throwing it out there as an alternative for you.
mod6: Then it should tunnel you through that remote host to connect to the bitcoin network and get blocks. Keep in mind that the example above is just that, and it also uses -connect, which is intended for connecting to a single node. You'll want to use -addnode for when connecting to more than one, and standard operation
mod6: Then when you start up TRB, you can do that like so:
mod6: Which will now allow you to tunnel over localhost port 56565...
mod6: This would basically involve one to set up ssh-key based authentication to the remote host, then creating the tunnel with something like this:
mod6: One could connect a TRB node through a SSH tunnel (to a remote endpoint/host with a static IP) so you don't broadcast your IP.
mod6: Couple of other things that I wanted to mention quick, girlattorney: Just be sure to make frequent backups of your entire blockchain. Be aware also that TRB does not handle power-outtages very nicely as BDB can get corrupted; UPS and the like can help to mitigate this. ☟︎☟︎
mod6: an issue the 'stop' command to bitcoind, wait until it closes properly, then start back up with -addnode for a handful of trusted nodes (see command in http://thebitcoin.foundation/trb-howto.html in section 0x23 or at the very bottom 0x0D), which should sync you the rest of the way pretty quickly.
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922545 << I have found that if you -connect to a single (trusted TMSR~ node, for instnace http://thebitcoin.foundation/trusted-nodes.html) node to get caught up -- it'll get within 5 blocks of the head of the chain, then it'll start going through all of the mempool stuff. Eventually, it should catch up; however, if one is in a hurry to get those last 5 blocks sync'd, you c ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 12:12 girlattorney: and last thing that i found a little annoying: no exportprivkey in any form, just dealing with wallet.dat to import/export private keys

mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922592 << ah! ok, had me worried there for a moment. ☝︎
mod6: Hey there, I've been pretty pinned down with some secular things in the past 10 days or so. Still catching up on logs+blogs here... saw the discussion earlier from girlattorney.
asciilifeform: re that kernel -- someone gotta genesis a kernel. ( if no one has any constructive input re ~which~ one, then i will, and it will be somewhat arbitrary. ) atm that patch is a bad-old-style patch, rather than vpatch. ☟︎
asciilifeform: the arch illustrated by the sim is simple enuff that one could fit it in, e.g., even very modest fpga. which means that nao we have reproducible kernel, gcc, toolchain, etc. for machine that can be baked , if needed, on demand, in whatever qty.
asciilifeform: ditto in buildroot, some time (remains to be established) b/w 2013 ver and current, also nixed mips1
asciilifeform: also in the process made sad discovery : previously asciilifeform always pronounced 'gcc 4.9 is usable' but! turns out some time b/w 4.8.1 and 4.9 , someone silently sabotaged support for classical mips1 ☟︎
asciilifeform: so ended up learning from 0 , how to port linux kernel to a never-seen 'machine'
asciilifeform: orig. author of 'cmips' btw was of 0 use, i wrote to him a while back and not long ago he answerd 'i lost hdd, lost errything' ☟︎
asciilifeform: re : honest 'virtual hosts' , and re asciilifeform's backlog of outputs to be published : i have a working kernel and userland for that mips emu . runs as buildroot, a la 'rotor' . will be featured in conveyor article.
asciilifeform: possibly i was thinking about 'bitvps'
mp_en_viaje: were taken out 2015-2016, whined about it copiously but ultimately ineffectually.
mp_en_viaje: no, linode was one of these usgistani shits. back in 2010 pretended to be a major player in hosting market. ☝︎
asciilifeform: hrm i thought in 'linode' , operator succumbed to alcoholism
BingoBoingo: End product is the Linode moral hazard magnet http://trilema.com/2012/the-bitcoin-drama-timeline/#selection-391.0-407.21
mp_en_viaje: "gotta compete with bezos" angle for the independents, strengthened by "customer so dumb, literally can not tell the difference"
BingoBoingo: Ah, the manage through a panel thing where the folks selling swear you have a whole box to yourself.
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 17:54 asciilifeform: i admit i'm curious now, what kinda budget is it where <100 u.s/mo is 'high' . and where exactly girlattorney has been getting physical box colo that costs substantially less.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922859 << afaik there's this "virtual-colo" thing, used to be 99 some years back, prolly decayed to 49 or something by now ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: phf, aite, do you want somebody to pick you up at the airport or anything ?
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in things that floated through here, Candian printer edition https://archive.is/CA9vk

asciilifeform: i admit i'm curious now, what kinda budget is it where <100 u.s/mo is 'high' . and where exactly girlattorney has been getting physical box colo that costs substantially less. ☟︎
girlattorney: well the prices are a high for my budget, will check if here there somebody that want to group buy a node in uruguay to split the cost ☟︎
asciilifeform: there's a vacant rk, prolly adequate for anything short of trb node
lobbesbot: girlattorney: Sent 12 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> It appears you are looking to set up a blog. http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922579 I can get you a place to blog set up by the end of the day http://pizarroisp.net/shared-hosting/
asciilifeform: would rather not have'em at piz tho unless bootloader can be neutered.
asciilifeform: but -- cheap. and 2G ram/GB nic/sata/etc. potentially useful, for, as original poster , trb.
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 12:24 asciilifeform: looks like potential replacement for the current rk , even.
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 12:26 girlattorney: @mp_en_viaje nothing public, after reading trilema and some logs I wanted to open a blog to report my stuff, but haven't got yet my ip space

a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 12:58 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, you know what ? the right way to go about this would be to offer pizarro customers pre-populated disks on demand.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922678 << This is an interesting possibility ☝︎
asciilifeform: speaking of which, from old compendium of 'militarisms' : new division commander shows up, and , to the troops lined up on platz, utters : 'i will discipline just like you know from kindergarten : some to tribunal, some will be shot in front of the regiment... '
mp_en_viaje is not the definitive eye in such matters, for one thing little practice and for the other i suspect i have mild case of asciilifeformism.
diana_coman: myeah, if only I had a logger in there so I can point to logs...
mp_en_viaje: ah ? i stand corrected then.
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: there have been so far at least 2 coming over into #ossasepia and by the looks of it possibly alive
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, there doesn't seem to be much value there tbh. the main item with these is "do i have any reason to suspect there may be live humans invovled anywhere". which is why fetlife and not okcupid, forinstance, to take that example.
a111: 2019-07-06 <phf> that will make it apparent that you're still walking Input in order, one by one, because right now offset/ptr combination make it seem like you might be stepping by more than 1 and taking slices
mp_en_viaje: speaking of which, i wonder what happened to phf
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: myeah re won't spend life supporting them for sure; re script tbh it's such a pile of "open source" that I'm not even sure I'll spend my life making a script for it.
asciilifeform: oh ha finally to ukrs
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, anyway, you can't possibly spend your life supporting random dorky platform. get a script to enumerate users and hi them automatically, or somesuch.
mp_en_viaje: basically, the situation among the youth would be, ten milion walflowers waiting patiently around imaginary walls, and 0 dancing getting done on the dance floor (let alone fucking holy god omg).
mp_en_viaje: ie, i'll be in kiev towards the end of the month, and she'll http://trilema.com/2017/the-day-of-failure-trilemma/#selection-205.565-213.535 all over self, and that's that, another dead soul for the count.
a111: Logged on 2019-07-14 15:17 mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, in other lulz, nicole dredged up local blondy ex-mech engineer turned java developer (sorry mocky, chick never heard of you). she intends to start her out outsourcing comp (because hates working with idiots ; yet if challenged "what you gonna do when rich ?" she wants to come up with some garbage sorting solution, because idiots do ~nothing but produce garbage and she doesn't understand the beheadingof

mp_en_viaje: sooo... this month's been the largest trilema outpour (by count) since... like 2017 or so i think. go me.
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 12:52 asciilifeform: trb, unlike prb, does not accept blocks 'on credit' (i.e. ones for whom the antecedent block is not yet on the disk)
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 12:29 girlattorney: asciilifeform that's something interesting: once (not now, a couple of days ago) i was able to get to the general height, thanks to a couple of restart that allowed me to get those last blocks (it seems that when TRB starts, always download instantly 10-15 blocks). Basically when it was at the network height (synced) it was also connecting to core
mp_en_viaje: it's much better thsi way
mp_en_viaje: ima leave http://trilema.com/2018/cu-cartile-pe-masa-un-fleac-l-au-ciuruit/#selection-403.1-407.0 here and then use this as my refpoint

diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: ah, I'm not complaining really, it's ...another world, what can I say; just still puzzled as to how they reason there
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, wtf was that "moment when soviet realises soviet system rotten" ? not morozov moment lol, but what ? -ov something
mp_en_viaje: girlattorney, are you in the states then ?
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, good for you oing through it, anyways.
girlattorney: lol... so true
asciilifeform: girlattorney: and the treatment for the 80/8k will consist of 8cent aspirin.
diana_coman: might be looking out for work as in to make sure it doesn't actually find them
girlattorney: but US is a strange world. You get quoted 80k for a day in hospital, then 8k cause your healthcare plan has negotiated the price
diana_coman: in my many wtf from the dev.to expedition: most (and by this I do mean 90%) of the profiles in there list "looking for work" but then not even one of those actually inquired there at "come work on what matters", not even a "where?" or anything (and they saw it, yes, the "heart" it but won't say a peep)
asciilifeform: asciilifeform, for example, in usa. where for 5k you can not even usually have the water pipe to your house fixed.
diana_coman: better than coal modem, presumably
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 13:33 asciilifeform: ip-over-dead-goat doesn't cut it, people have tried
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-16#1922765 - this must be an euloran item ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-25 18:07 mircea_popescu: so, to get on the same page here, the general strategy is, 1. construct undisruptable comms ; 2. disrupt usg&friends comms ; 3. disrupt usg&friends physical presence.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-27 21:37 mircea_popescu: which i suppose is the main strategic direction of tmsr - in a few years they either pay us to "secure" all systems or else the systems burn down.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-02 04:34 mircea_popescu: so, strategically, we (as in, humans, people, we) are confronted with an adversary (ie, socialist state, usg, aliens, the devil incarnate, pure evil, etc) that predicates its relevancy upon targeted computing denial (see http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-enforcement/ ; and also http://trilema.com/2015/mika-epstein-aka-ipstenu-is-a-thoroughly-clueless-poser/ re the ddos "we won't fix" and so on )
asciilifeform: it is cheaper than moving house.
girlattorney: just because a couple blocks distant from me they actually have laid fiber
asciilifeform: you don't stand in bread queue and eat from gov.operated 'soup kitchen' from hobos; why wouldja do this for net pipe.
