phf: btcbase already does that, internally. i've offered people in the past
a feed (since i don't want that service to be abused), but i don't think anyone expressed interest
phf: well, i've seen lines missing during netsplits, which i suppose is not this critical. i suspect ben_vulpes's logbot doesn't have
a fallback mechanism, so when it drops there's the reconnect window, which i suspect i could find one or two with missing one or two lines. ben_vulpes will have to speak for himself though.
phf: in the simplest case joining
a channel is
a send-only process. can theoretically fully ignore what the server is saying and still get
a successful join. not so when you have to negotiate with nickserv (at the very least need to time it right, so that you send you privmsg after the connection has been established, which is almost entirely "organic" process)
phf: nah, makes no difference in this particular situation. you want your thing to come back by any means necessary to continue witnessing. as of now "coming back" is
a much more complicated process
phf: asciilifeform: i saw it, i'm pointing out that this addition breaks things. you have to make sure that every single client plays along with freenode's defective ident system, otherwise you get breaks in logs, etc. e.g. phf bouncer is used as
a fallback for logs, to ensure continuity, where the fact that the bouncer would come back naively (i.e. without trying to negotiate with nickserv) was
a feature
☟︎ BingoBoingo: In other local weird today I learned the locals consider Chinchillas
a type of rabbit rather than the rodent they are
mircea_popescu: that remarkably-like
a town background for every jwz's jwzing.
mircea_popescu: george sanders has an excellent point re this : "for new yorkers who want to go out of town, new haven is
a stretch of sidewalk between the taft hotel and the schubert theatre, surrounded by what appears remarkably like
a small town".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if what one wants is "for x to be without needing my involvement", x can only be
a road show. what else ?
BingoBoingo: Most of those dudes have an ultralight tend strapped to
a motor. This dude took
a "Real Plane"(TM)(R)
BingoBoingo: Well, dude was unhappy with his life and just wanted to do
a barrel roll per the transcripts. If they let the shootdown get out they fear
a wave of "muh feelz"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because the use of violence is
a serious problem in the swamp. there's
a reason dogvomit doesn't launch rockets, you understand ? not that "couldn't", but that out of uniform.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fundamental misunderstanding of what an encyclopedia is. pro tip : d'alembert's item was an ~elite~ retelling of the world. the mass retelling of the world isn't
a retelling, isn't of the world, and interests as much as any other fly metabolism byproducts.

a wikipedia page for the number 50,000 "50,000 (fifty thousand) is the natural number that comes after 49,999 and before 50,001. It is
a round number." marginal accuracy achieved thru absolute irrelevance

a111: Logged on 2018-08-12 23:37 asciilifeform: the huawei crapola, for instance, i'm quite convinced at this point would be 100% breakable if anybody got hold of
a unit and forced it to generate keys 24/7 for
a coupla months

a bit much but hey
a111: Logged on 2016-09-02 18:26 asciilifeform: well other working hypothesis is that it is ~not~ tiny fraction, but
a tip of the 'birthday theorem' iceberg.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-07 18:49 asciilifeform: hanbot: conceivably,
a sabotaged generator that yields 2**32 possible keys, will result in ~0 natural collisions, and remain invisible to phuctor unless i first find it via some other means.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> Let's think on it anyway. I guess worst case, BingoBoingo could take
a day trip to BSAS and buy some drives. << They aren't cheaper over there
mircea_popescu: so it waits
a finite interval for disks, not end of worl.d
a111: Logged on 2018-08-12 18:30 asciilifeform: i had this knob on the implementation conveyor regardless, because of
a certain peculiarity of bernstein's algo which i noticed, where if there is an even multiple of any given factor present in the whole, it will not get found
mod6: ok got
a few chores to do here quick, bbs.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-12 18:29 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: depending on how long it takes to get disks, we can do what i suggested
a while back ( but for some reason can't dig up, in l0gz) where we trade space for time, and run on randomized subsets of the db continuously
mod6: Anyway, your idea sounds like
a plan. But can S.NSA live without the mechanical 10Tb spinners for
a month?
mod6: Or maybe we can see if mthreat wants to ferry over
a few.
mod6: Let's think on it anyway. I guess worst case, BingoBoingo could take
a day trip to BSAS and buy some drives.
mod6: (otherwise would just throw him more funds to place
a second order immediately)
mod6: I'm reluctant to order more drives back to back until we can confirm we can actually receive
a shipment.
mod6: And then we still have no spares until BingoBoingo can place another order. Which I'm fine with, but still leaves us kinda in
a sticky spot.
mod6: But could be
a month out, at best.
mod6: BingoBoingo should be ordering drives within
a day or so from the btc I sent him on friday.
mod6: i dunno, I just put in
a checkin with him in #pizarro to see about the refund. best case, he got the refund and can ship more drives, perhaps today even.
mod6: (spare drives, that is -- which could put is in
a pretty bad position if it comes to it)
mod6: we are trying to get more drives down there, as you know. but could be
a while until we have any spares at all.
mircea_popescu: anyway, ima go take hussy uphill for
a spell, bb in
a few hours.
mircea_popescu: alright, so basically you want to make the spare into
a dumb disk box ? isn't that
a waste of board ?
mircea_popescu: never saw this wonder. but anyway, you want basically to keep
a 4ssd raid cluster for speed and add
a mechanical on usb ?
mircea_popescu: aleright, so then tell me this, why is our box provisioned in such
a way you ran out of space ?
mircea_popescu: ftr, "crashing" in
a "wooded area" sounds like someone didn't look for sidewinder debris at the site.
trinque: at any rate, happy to lend
a hand when it's clear what the command will do

a111: Logged on 2018-08-10 21:14 phf: well, that's how mountaineering business works: bulk of ascends are done by sherpas, who carry
a paying lawyer on their back, but you still have one in
a thousand die in an avalanche, so that the rest can pretend like they actually did something dangerous.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-04 14:37 asciilifeform: ( in mega-b00k re 'evil fyoootoor' , 'stand on zanzibar', this process becomes
a proper service, for which they charge, and you can get not only firing squad but whatever you like, burning at the stake, guillotine, etc. )

a huge part of the lore that i wouldn't be surprised if the hotel mgmt does it to attract more of an attention to the event. you mean i get to hang out with dangerous hackers??

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: sometimes you read like "here's
a picture of the apple tree in socialism, as you can see, it makes fruit to help the 5year plan", you know that ?
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-08-10 07:01 adlai: at the risk of sounding like
a lightly-chipped (for the broken don't spin too good) record: i'd be glad to rent the new rockchip. i promise this time to think before i type, and not play the shitty music too loud.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-10 15:04 mircea_popescu: this, btw, is why you DO NOT WANT "electronic" key. wtf is this dumb shit, "key no longer works" ? i paid for
a fucking day, i own the fucking lease, you can have your room again tomorrow when im done with it AND NOT BEFORE. jesus fuck wtf is wrong with these people.
mircea_popescu: none of this is "at will". if i rent
a room, i bought the option, that's that.

a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 00:21 mircea_popescu: this entire exercise in idiocy has, practically speaking, resulted in me paying various hard working ticos
a grand or so, to the people fucking in the ass the "security" paradigm of pantsuit.fetlife. IN LIEU of having paid that much, and rather more, to the fetlife itself.
