mod6: hell, sometimes a storm can come through here, knock down lines; the tree guys might have to clear debris, power guys gotta hook up new equip and lines, can take ~12-24 hours
mircea_popescu: mod6 i wasn't here for it, but one opf the places, tree fell over brought down power grid. ticoswarm, power back on 2 hrs later.
trinque: Framedragger: it's depersonalizing and that can maybe give you some room in your skull to think for a while if you're otherwise too neurotic to calm down
mircea_popescu: it is the place where you go to lie down and have your body temperature fixed passively.
asciilifeform: !!down asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: point fucking remains : people who "just want to" "creative" and be relieved from the need to math are fundamentally stupid people who will never do anything but make trouble for their betters, and who essentially aim to burn your house down to make marshmellows in the blaze.
shinohai: http://userfeeds.io/ <<< "Allow your token-based community to create their own view of social media destinations" - But further down the page "Want to find out more? Check out our Medium blog."
mircea_popescu: fancy that wonder. putting money down the line, with no kind of collateral whatsoever is not "sharing the pain". none of that obnoxious http://trilema.com/2015/other-peoples-money/#selection-77.0-77.47 oh no.
ben_vulpes: put three down and it'd walk out pretending haughtiness to conceal confusion.
ben_vulpes: put down two and it'd oscillate between them.
Framedragger: (we did do an amateur key signing party down there, sorta, so that was nice)
Framedragger: no :( wrong wording. i sat down with him for a chat. did not record. because daft kid << sorry
Framedragger interviewed one guy "down there" (he had part of "cave" and christmas lights on wall, said he spend lots of time there, yeah not sure about dampness, i mean god damn), said "oh yeah i'm used to taking acid and getting lost here", nonchalant
mircea_popescu: the only question being, are you going to burn down city hall / hang chloe by her fallopian tubes ?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: didn't you demonstrate that lookup could be got down to o(1)?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nope, boobytrapped, box shuts down in iirc 30min
Framedragger: https://recon.cx/2014/slides/Recon%202014%20Skochinsky.pdf << nothing new, but sat down to read some slides about teh backdoor in question, more technical details, decent overview imho. "slides" because info needs to be patched up from proprietary intel SDKs etc etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wouldja spare a few min and plox write down algo ?
Framedragger: mats: sure, sure. but it's *particularly* in-your-face when you're pitching and saying "we can track X down so you can er lawfully take care of em"
Framedragger: not sure if falun gong really had done much at that point. but cisco wiretapping was used to track 'em down and kill 'em
Framedragger: BingoBoingo: in http://qntra.net/2017/04/balance-of-buttfunex-cold-storage-address-down-50-kilobitcoin-and-falling/ , s/fait/fiat/
pete_dushenski: "This feature was intended to allow the owners of Antminer to remotely shut down their miners that may have been stolen or hijacked by their hosting service provider, and to also provide law enforcement agencies with more tracking information in such cases. We never intended to use this feature on any Antminer without authorization from its owner."
Framedragger: so if you have your friend bob's key and bob writes you "dude key stolen wtf", you know that shit went down. but now, attacker can be 100 bobs, with 'signed messages' or whatever, telling you "no don't listen to this impersonator not-bob, you're fine"
framedr: (server down for 'emergency maintenace'. yes will move to dedicated, no this is not acceptable, OP sucks dicks)
asciilifeform: ( the barnum circus co, incidentally, apparently is closing down for good, quite soon. )
asciilifeform: even lowliest 'redditor' looks down at what he thinks are the yet-scummier redditus.
asciilifeform: 'He recruited a former hedge fund salesman named Kyle Ferguson as co-founder and launched Wags Lending, thinking dog leases would mark just the first step in a vertically integrated pet-financing company that would eventually include food deliveries, chew-toy subscriptions, and veterinary loans. Then their point-of-sale lease financing became a hit, and they decided to double down on it.'
asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://www.oregonlive.com/rosefest/index.ssf/2017/04/organizers_cancel_82nd_avenue.html >> '"You have seen how much power we have downtown and that the police cannot stop us from shutting down roads so please consider your decision wisely," the anonymous email said, telling organizers they could cancel the Republican group's registration or else face action from protesters. "This is non-negotiable."'
asciilifeform: e.g. i got bignumatron core down to ~500ln, and this is without any 'cleverness' or 'idiomatic' liquishit.
mod6: it ~basically~ comes down to that.
mircea_popescu: then those who do lord it over the ones who don't, irrespective of how they had ~no merit in it, then those who don't get frustrated and double down their efforts because hey, it's personal now, and that's how women judge their self worth, and so on and so forth.
ben_vulpes: w also similar in shape to upside down double arches
mircea_popescu: trying to knock young men down ain't gonna do jack for propping up unmen.

a111: Logged on 2017-04-22 02:17 mircea_popescu: in other random lulz, i ended up with this pair of very nice 8 carat diamonds and i've been playing with them in the light like a complete down case for the past half hour
mircea_popescu: in other random lulz, i ended up with this pair of very nice 8 carat diamonds and i've been playing with them in the light like a complete down case for the past half hour ☟︎
mircea_popescu: !!down Joshua-I
asciilifeform: in other lulz, 'Massive power outage hits San Francisco, shuts down businesses, BART station, cable cars, traffic lights...'
Framedragger: (i mentioned 2x4 (russian hosting provider) above because they are known for not giving a fuck about dmca or other usg laws, and responding with "your mother" (sic) to requests to take down a hosted site which is running a botnet C&C)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: disk goes down. shit gets stolen. ddos. your isp is ~broker to the upstream, so you have to escalate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform please review the https://www.cherryservers.com/bare-metal-dedicated-servers (scroll down)
Framedragger: so just to clarify the technicalities in my mind, in your head this doesn't even imply registering for an isp as 'normally' understood (getting an autonomous system number assigned). which means you may not even be able to control reverse ip records. not a lotta.. power.. if shit goes down. which it will.
asciilifeform: lol, archive.is down on account of shitflare.
mircea_popescu: astroturf ALL THE FUCKING WAY DOWN.
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2017/04/balance-of-buttfunex-cold-storage-address-down-50-kilobitcoin-and-falling/ << Qntra - Balance Of Buttfunex "Cold Storage" Address Down 50 kiloBitcoin And Falling
mircea_popescu: and in other "holy shit i love this place" lulz : i bought three fresh coconuts for a thousand colones today ; and half a dozen superb riple mangos for two. this comes to almost 10 kgs of produce for six dollars total. then further down the street proceeded into telas tienda, selling authentic silk brocade, five bux the double-length metre. and it is silk, straight from the worm's ass. it burns, the grain feels right, you nam
mircea_popescu: 2004, you recall, wash bush, and a very power hungry and not yet paintsuited abomination running up and down the country trying to create some sort of "future democrat alliance"
mod6: haha, yeah, it did grind it down for like 10 seconds, but then it was fine
mircea_popescu: quoth me : "so power it down, open freezer door, put glass of hot water close to conduit in question."
mircea_popescu: in other hardpower lulz, chick's icemaker in the fridge stopped working, just this very sad sound and no ice forthcoming. she called the very helpful super (young guy, i suppose he likes her). quoth he : "sometimes when the power goes out you have to reset these. you know, like computers ? power it down overnight and see in the morning."
asciilifeform: no soldered-down ram, fwiw.
asciilifeform: trinque: is that one of those boxes with soldered-down ram ?
mircea_popescu: no idea why i didn't before, but anyway. doesn't seem to have gone down from it either, so all good.
asciilifeform: in yet-other lulz, the tardano makers don't sleep, http://ubld.it/products/truerngpro << New! Improved! with two... soldered-down shields. and oscillating voltage booster right on the pcb.
ben_vulpes: there is a wework right down the street
ben_vulpes: bridges still fall down in the great again
ben_vulpes: there's a very real lower bound on the savings to be delivered with this vehicle though, and they're probably going to get burnt down by the poor folks who can't afford any better than the plastic having to drive further because must ams cities.
asciilifeform: turns out thing was down, ddosed to death, for a spell.
ben_vulpes: "vip" rates are "30 us per song with no touching", "ultra vip" rates are "100/10 min and maybe we let you touch something", ben_vulpes rates are "just sit down and tip like normal and we'll writhe all over you for reasons"
ben_vulpes: i watched some related lols play out with 'poly' friends this year. $girl couldn't bring herself to break it off with her wikipedia editor, $guy didn't offer the platform to which to jump or demand the jump, tension built and $girl doubled down on the socialistoid anxiety production machines to everyone's dismay
asciilifeform: ( how would you 'lock down bitcoin' lol )
davout: in china even bitcoins are locked down
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> Last updated at block 461176. << is that like 3 days ago ? << i think trinque's node was down for repair for that wallet thing. might be behind a bit. not sure tho...
trinque: further down named in full
asciilifeform: gotta get the line matches, with context (say, 5 up / 5 down from match.) could qntra it.
asciilifeform: but i sat down and tried to answer concrete q, who and where sets it, so far found 0 examples in anything asciilifeform used or would use
asciilifeform: if it, say, 'have not seen mats since feb 22, and no idea re last thursday because i was down' -- would be different matter.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-18 12:11 mircea_popescu: the problem, however, is that under the skin-deep "kid is fine", his passive genetics have seriously weakened. if he lives as part of a larger population that does this, a few generations down the road genetic decay manifests and there's literally no hope -- the population will either move to exogamy or die out.
Framedragger: (just fyi, mkj (which hosts scriba; separate from siphnos which hosts scan data, phuctor cache, etc.) is going down soon for maintenance, but downtime shouldn't exceed 15min)
shinohai: If the shitty, 4 year old hardware I run my node hasn't burnt down the house yet I'm highly optimistic for you mod6 :D
mod6: well, she was sleeping all day on saturday. then for a moment, she woke up, got pissed off, tried to get out of bed, fell down. then wrestled two nurses, and sucker punched one in the face.
mircea_popescu: before coming up with the "Write it down. By hand." i had an excel depacker, which cost me literal man-years to have made and tuned, and which was good but far from perfect.
lobbes was dismayed when I came in, automated a 40 hr excel proccess down to about 10mins just by using sql (access of all the god awful things) only to be told it was verboten
shinohai: It's 83 degrees on my patio and sun is going down
a111: Logged on 2017-04-10 16:07 phf: tmsr work is primarily defined by its voluntary nature, if i had to do things same way i do it at the office i wouldn't bother. ascii doesn't know intricacies of psql from his day job, and i think it's cruel and inhuman to make him study psql ~as part of tmsr work~. it's not the kind of know how you get to learn by sitting down with a cup of tea and a large printout..
phf: apparently that's not how they do things down south. once a grudge always a grudge. fine. we can agree not to talk to each other at all, nor mention each others names. i was sticking to that policy, and it worked fine for me. good day.
phf: yes, you can't sit down with a collection of independent algorithms combined in a specific way and use it in a different way without writing extra code, but that's what repl is for
trinque: I can't sit down with something like that and ask it ANYTHING
Framedragger: (so not exactly an 'insist to bring it down')
a111: Logged on 2017-04-10 16:19 asciilifeform: and if folks insist on trying to bring it down, i will ban as much of ipv4 space as i have to.
asciilifeform: and if folks insist on trying to bring it down, i will ban as much of ipv4 space as i have to. ☟︎
trinque: so then your site is going to be down in teh meantime because of a combo of prior technical decisions and present political ones

BingoBoingo: Technique can be adapted to the lawn. Sub tilling with overseeding root crops, and instead of glyphosate burn down with 2,4-D and substitute last tilling with patience
BingoBoingo: * shinohai has only planted radishes and cucumbers, has shitty soil in new locale. << Protip: till a plot and sow densly with turnips/radishes. Do not harvest and burn down with glyphosate before first frost. Till vastly improved soil next year.
asciilifeform: i have nfi, but must point out that this time was prior to him having written down any such thing.
Framedragger: link to original page down but i found https://warmcat.com/2009/05/21/whirlygig-pcb.html and https://warmcat.com/2009/05/21/whirlygig-verification-and-rngtest-analysis.html which may be interesting (and initial intro on https://warmcat.com/hardware%20design/linux%20peripherals/2007/11/24/whirlygig-gpld-hwrng.html maybe)
BenBE: mircea_popescu: http://hackaday.com/2010/02/06/hardware-based-randomness-for-linux/ - unfortunately link to original page is down. Also using a FPGA port (done by a friend, verified against dieharder as a starting point).
a111: Logged on 2017-04-07 22:15 trinque: by the nato precedent set by turkey, I'd expect russia can down an american plane or two without risking a nuclear exchange, eh?
pete_dushenski: trinque: russia could down 1/16 us aircraft carrieres without risking nukage.
trinque: by the nato precedent set by turkey, I'd expect russia can down an american plane or two without risking a nuclear exchange, eh? ☟︎
asciilifeform: because a key breaks down into moduli, fingerprints, and -- potentially -- known factors
Framedragger: now, complexity management-wise.. maybe; having same person manage both boxes may not be best idea (and the alternative has its own advantages). but the current "phuctor is down, i don't know why, it's a black box" isn't the greatest example of current setup, either. (this may be a red herring, i'm not sure)
mircea_popescu: these can take minutes, and the site isn't down during, at all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oddly they didn't even shoot them down serbian style ?
mircea_popescu: check it out asciilifeform isis shot down a helicopter
trinque: mircea_popescu: the fucking syntax though eh? cut all dicks off all males, then you back it down to particulars!
mircea_popescu: holy shit it returned! we're down to 25 gb now!
Framedragger: i'm waiting for the day that freenode goes down while datacenters with logotrons are experiencing issues. everyone's gonna freak out, there will be a new more urgent push for gossipd, it's gonna be great!
asciilifeform: lol, hey, nobody told the crawlers that the box is down
