mircea_popescu: for all the derpage about "attack sites using your computer to mine shitcoins" in the usg.fakenews media, google's been using well over half of everyone's cpu an' ram for the past i dunno, decade ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i get >10k failed attempts to load "fonts.google.com" a day for instance.
mircea_popescu: i'm confident article lists all current google ranges, but as it says, they might have secret ones etc. really what it does is shoot in the head the orcish habit of importing pantsuitism.
asciilifeform: i've experimented with lan-side rubbish filtration, but found it to be a headache, sumthing always slips through
asciilifeform: at one time i had a 'nuke anyffing that behaves like bot' on dulap
asciilifeform: i thought it was to cut down on bw burned on ~incoming~ bots
mircea_popescu: well no, but i mean... what's the server ever connect to google for ?
asciilifeform: i thought it was for server
mircea_popescu: i did ?!
asciilifeform: ha i suppose this means ~nobody's been reading mine either
asciilifeform: i dunno of anybody else using'em in a plant
asciilifeform: plant per se imho ok, i've yet to see a thermal sad on a rk cpu
asciilifeform: i'd like to get'em purchased and sailing to BingoBoingostan asap.
asciilifeform: when both of you ping me back with green light signal, i'ma zero the old sticks and have BingoBoingo mail'em to asciilifeformistan for the vivisection table
asciilifeform: approx what i'd expect
mircea_popescu: well what can i tell ya, this looks like it's a premium item.
asciilifeform: currently i am looking at replacement https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BAR-Plus-128GB-MUF-128BE4/dp/B07BPG9YX9 , which is a good ~4cm iron pig ☟︎
asciilifeform: which i suspect is bit much
asciilifeform: i suspect we weren't the only ones.
asciilifeform: and he's got a good memory, i suspect he won't need explicit instruction next time.
asciilifeform: ok i have a prelim verdict :
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I disconnected from the rockchip
diana_coman: asciilifeform, ah, ok; I haven't really found anything useful in logs so far
asciilifeform: i'ma bitwise rescue your contents onto virgin
asciilifeform: diana_coman: meanwhile i'ma have to issue diana_coman and mod6 with spare sticks after all, so diana_coman plox to give signal when ok to power down your unit
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in freenode idiocy, i give you http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Baprj/?raw=true aka "how to ping out for being idle 4 minutes while exchanging data the very second prior"
diana_coman: asciilifeform, on rockchip as it was, I didn't fiddle with its kernel
asciilifeform: ( on other hand i have logs saving to external box -- and displayed -- in real time )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this is not bad approach ( tho i still have my boxen set to come to life on boot, as sometimes i am away from console for entire day )
diana_coman: I'm so fed up with "resets" that if my machine resets, I'd rather know+have a look at it then have everything restart
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I did not set apache to start on boot, no; that much I'm not surprised at
asciilifeform: however diana_coman's did not come to life on boot, so i suspect a config oddity
asciilifeform: of nginx (such as it is) i get infinite uptime ( never yet seen it fall spontaneously )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i haven't used apache in yrs, so cannot say yes/no
asciilifeform: diana_coman: that's pretty odd, i could not get it to tcp on 22
diana_coman: asciilifeform, oh hey, I CAN ssh into my rockchip apparently
asciilifeform: lol i think i missed the 'not'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as i say, not so similar.
asciilifeform: i do not currently know out of what ataturk & co. sewed together current-tr
asciilifeform: i admit i kinda like tr, the martian grammar is appealing
mircea_popescu: i suppose in the end a very rosettian view.
asciilifeform: i only even thought to ask because mircea_popescu wrote about hanging out in stambul erry chance he got
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other news nobody cares about, ro "musama" is not, as i had thought, commie-era invention to describe early plastics (in early application, vinyl table cloth) like "bakelite", but ancient tk word for waxcloth (müsemma). all neologisms are turkish in origin!!1
mircea_popescu: yeah, i r forgot.
asciilifeform: but currently i suspect it aint the stick, watch #p for updates
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sticks dun have smart ( at least any i've seen )
a111: Logged on 2018-09-11 16:56 diana_coman: the lifetime of this drive though seems veeery short, so I need to decide on wtf
asciilifeform: the sad boxen boot if stick is moved to usb2 jack. i currently suspect loose or contaminated contacts in usb3 ( it has additional pins towards the back )
asciilifeform: ( which is usb2 only ) so i currently suspect dirty or underforced connections
diana_coman: asciilifeform, can the disk be connected to the working rockchip itself so I rummage there? atm it seems it's only the very latest comments that'd be lost so I'm in 2 minds about it anyway
diana_coman: the lifetime of this drive though seems veeery short, so I need to decide on wtf ☟︎
diana_coman: technically speaking I don't own any other box - they are leased by smg rather than by me and I'm not very keen on mixing the stuff tbh; I'll check the backups to see if there's anything worth the trouble still lost
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma ask BingoBoingo to plug this disk into one of your other boxes (plox to choose which one) so you can recover any state you had not a chance to back up; meanwhile you will be issued a spare .
asciilifeform: [ 9.105595] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 33827664 << consistently across boots
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I can see the issues you raise, they are standing.
asciilifeform: i gotta ask
asciilifeform: diana_coman: yes i know
diana_coman: asciilifeform, no; and moreover as previously stated in between "it works" and "it doesn't work" I did not even connect to it!
asciilifeform: i'd luvv to get an 0day out of this story, but i suspect culprit is more boring
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-09-11 09:31 diana_coman: good morning; I can't seem to be able to connect to my rockchip anymore: http (ossasepia.com) gives 403 You don't have permission to access / on this server ; ssh refuses connection too; there was NO change as far as I know - I haven't touched it in quite a while and last time I connected everything worked fine; any idea what might be wrong there, BingoBoingo ?
a111: Logged on 2018-09-11 15:37 lobbes: ftr, this was the -exact- issue I was having (403 errors on www, no ssh, but could ping fine. Whatever BingoBoingo did for me then worked like a charm though.) http://logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro?d=2018-9-11#427159 << >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-31#1846123
mircea_popescu: ^ it's strictly impossible for the problem asciilifeform to be involved, seeing how i actually do handshake.
lobbes: */etc/conf.d/net I mean
lobbes: I can also confirm I have not touched my /etc/conf.d
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-09-11 09:31 diana_coman: good morning; I can't seem to be able to connect to my rockchip anymore: http (ossasepia.com) gives 403 You don't have permission to access / on this server ; ssh refuses connection too; there was NO change as far as I know - I haven't touched it in quite a while and last time I connected everything worked fine; any idea what might be wrong there, BingoBoingo ?
a111: Logged on 2018-08-31 13:15 lobbes: so I have a question for the more experienced server operators out there: As of yesterday I found that I can no longer ssh into my rockchip (eggog: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/PKeSK/?raw=true)
lobbes: ftr, this was the -exact- issue I was having (403 errors on www, no ssh, but could ping fine. Whatever BingoBoingo did for me then worked like a charm though.) http://logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro?d=2018-9-11#427159 << >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-31#1846123 ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: no i mean, your own not working
mod6: I can't say for mats' or douchebags, but I can attest that after they were reset, that I could log in successfully to each at least 1 time.
mod6: I had been using my rockchip all the time.
mod6: And further, I never touched my /etc/conf.d/net file either.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-11 14:39 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i test'em before handing over to mod6 .
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-11#1849451 << asciilifeform handed them over to me to test they had been reset, and one could login via a temp password. This was done to douchebag's and mats' old rockchips. They both worked great after reset. I never touched the /etc/conf.d/net file. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: thus therefore, i expect "science fiction" to be EXACTLY science that very well could have been, but happens to isn't ; not conspiracy theorism.
asciilifeform: i'ma add it to the template, it will go on all new/reimaged boxen.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-18 04:53 ben_vulpes: douchebag: pizarro board has serious reservations about your fucking up our honorsystem ip routing table and bringing dos/whatever hell down upon our little gated community, can i extract a commitment from you to not misbehave in my cab?
mircea_popescu: let me get this straight : if me and you have a rk, and you run your blog from there, and i overload your ip but only use port x which you do not use a) you'll never know and b) i have two ips now.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you know how to perma-fix this with a box that doesn't cost 50k or take up an entire rack (i.e. x86 box with 9000 nics) i'm all ears.
asciilifeform: on the most recent occasion when i re-imaged rk ( actually 2 of'em ) i tested all 6.
mircea_popescu: but btw, a) still stands. i judge the odds of some user even touching conf.d ~0 and the odds of your having accidentally used the wrong values during a resetting ~100%.
asciilifeform: i definitely see .
mircea_popescu: a large portion of why people are stuck paying that $$$ ; and i guess pizarro will too ?
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm not understranding the problem. how can box a make box b unreachable ?
asciilifeform: i do not currently know of any practical means to entirely isolate the boxes on the lan.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i warned of this in the first days ( currently digging in log re exact line )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i test'em before handing over to mod6 . ☟︎
mircea_popescu: a) i am willing to bet you're the last one to have touched such. ; b) people can actually fuck up other's boxes' routing ?!
diana_coman: anyway, to the point: I still find Linebarger interesting, perhaps for the exact reason that I can't yet actually place him fully anywhere
diana_coman: I think it's one of those where we take one another's eyes out for half a day, at the end of which it turns out we actually agreed on the main point all along
mircea_popescu: i don't even fucking like wilde!
mircea_popescu: what, i'm going to commission the transcription myself ? so what, imbeciles a la http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-04#1809349 can continue to pretendf like ANYTHING WHATSOEVER the fuck else exists ?! ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-10 15:27 mircea_popescu: but i seriously do not see the need for a "web" to support this nonsense. they'd be much better served by a single pravda.
mircea_popescu: "I feel now that it is ridiculous to make accusations against the Jews, attributing them qualities and methods which are really much more typically English than Jewish"
mircea_popescu: yeah. for one thing i ran out of films ; and for the other as i said, i made a server, checking out what i got on it.
asciilifeform: ( i can easily believe )
mircea_popescu: but in other news, two moon junction epic film. imagine, two years later, i go to read http://trilema.com/2016/two-moon-junction/#selection-49.33-53.89 see wtf i said, i discover i did EXACTLY same thing!
asciilifeform: but i've met folx who wont even lick a 9v.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure it's on the same line. modern folkx err through absence.
mircea_popescu: i don't as much as fuck girls without backup, stottin' had to handle radionuclide resonant chamber. gimme break.
asciilifeform: ( re legend, i have nfi if true, iirc several countries claimed priority )
