trinque: maybe you connect to trinque's trans-netherworld sewer system that talks to both sides
trinque: who he connects to is his problem
trinque: if you connected to him, he's in your wot
trinque: I can see the counterpoint.
asciilifeform: well there is 'the outside of the wot'
mircea_popescu: i'm not buying into the collectivist mindset. there is no "the network at large", "the country", blabla, evnetually for some niggled in special garb to rule over.
mircea_popescu: if i go to moscow all i see is individual blokes, who is THE RUSSIANS guy ?
mircea_popescu: what is "russians" ? where do i meet them ?
mircea_popescu: you don't take my meaning.
phf: miners, all those people who put bets on bitbet, agora buyers/sellers
phf: you get disk thrash or network thrash or both. that graph i posted some time ago shows that nuking orphanage kills disk thrash, but increases network thrash. our step one has so far been removal of disk thrash, i.e. nuke orphanage, nuke mempool. step 2 presumably is nuking network thrash by relying more on trusted peers. that still doesn't solve the problem of talking to net at large
asciilifeform: ^ mostly in there
asciilifeform: i recommend enumming for the record
mircea_popescu: do i need to enum. the case or are you up to date ?
mircea_popescu: well lessee here, one of mod6 ben_vulpes give an opinion on this ? ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: the contest, i can speak only for myself, but i've had enough. wake me up when you've also had enough.
asciilifeform: 'Another curious pattern that emerged during the later stage of the sync process were long delays (4-5 min) during which data was still coming in through the network at a high rate but both disk and CPU were relatively idle and little or no chain updating was occurring. ' << blackhole.
asciilifeform: it applies just as well to us.
asciilifeform: this is not a prb-specific thing.
asciilifeform: 'During the last 10% of the blockchain sync, both the WAIT column of "top" and the furious clicking of disk heads revealed that disk activity was becoming a quite obvious bottleneck, leading to the CPU going idle for longer and longer periods.'
BingoBoingo: "Since these "dead spots" can be attributed neither to hardware nor the network, they must be the result of something sub-optimal in the software."
BingoBoingo: Further other news from the zoo https://archive.is/3abRB
BingoBoingo: In other news today notorious Apple Shill Rush Limbaugh is giving away iPad "Pros" on his radio program.
asciilifeform: see also today's pgpgram.
mircea_popescu: nothing worth the mention throughout.
mircea_popescu: nope. exactly power law of derpage : buncha noise 1st day, 1/2 noise next, 1/4 noise next, epsilon thereafter.
asciilifeform: speaking of g, when does the block cipher contest formally close ?
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 16:09:41; jurov: what if we v-ify our host records? but each independently to watch mircea trying to curate and put together most recent version and swearing loudly?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-02-2016#1414322 << if you recall, this was actually discussed in teh logs, re "how g works" ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 16:08:40; jurov: here, too
mircea_popescu: i guess this bettor lives in palo alto.

mircea_popescu: iptables to mangle loopback.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can set it to.
asciilifeform: hm i guess iptables does nothing to loopback (local connections within same machine)
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 14:06:06; jurov: however, i have no problem to cut hole in the firewall directly to the server for wot members if asked
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-02-2016#1414291 << and i have no problem listing a bunch of them ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 13:49:05; asciilifeform: (massive 'commitees' of high-ranking amateurs are routinely beaten to a pulp by a single pro player, in collective games)
asciilifeform: phf: aha, seen that court many times
BingoBoingo: St Louis too has the thing where Federal building with werkers is short, squat yet Federal Court has grand tower of oppreshun
phf: it's like the style for building gov buildings these days, md district court few blocks away http://www.jasoncleckner.com/images/RockvilleDistCt.jpg
trinque: http://www.boora.com/files/14611232134221Mark-Hatfield-US-Courthouse--Judges-Chambers-East-Elevation.jpg << the portland one looks to my eyes more of "look how much of your money we spent on this wankery"
asciilifeform: when i think of the word 'totalitarian', i think of that place.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-09-2014#838576 << thread ☝︎
asciilifeform: ever seen the fbi headquarters in dc ?
trinque: federal courthouse I think, with a platform atop for human sacrifice, I can only assume
trinque: actually, there is a rather imposing federal building in downtown Portland
trinque: it at least lacks the feeling of living directly under the eye of sauron
asciilifeform: it is almost like the world of the film 'dark city.'
asciilifeform: but i can hardly picture a more depressing place than dc
trinque: meanwhile texas is the surface of the sun for 5-6mos/yr
asciilifeform: is there fog ? can it substitute for london ?
trinque: when its sunny there, (what, 3-4mos/yr?) it's lovely
asciilifeform: i met a man yesterday who now lives there, and hates it, 'rains all the time, like this' (points outside at swamp)
trinque: from texas, spent a good amount of time in oregon
trinque: on his deathbed he has to be him; you have to be you
trinque: not that at all.
asciilifeform: fuck that.
asciilifeform: 'never mind that someone is shoving hot coals up your arse, just remember, everybody dies someday!11'
asciilifeform: buddhist-flavoured claptrap doesn't work on me, don't even try.
trinque: and he will die at the end like every other person
asciilifeform: (and yes, he probably isn't 'can send money to isis'-rich, but is 'not having to work' rich, surely.) ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://proofofindividuality.tk << 'anti-sybil token' >> link leads to linkfarm/malware.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> really, ibm cheated with deep blue ? << Probable in the second Kasparov match, the one Blue won
asciilifeform: jurov: i have nfi, but it is insulting to sit on a medieval stake while others sizzle in spiffy modern electric chairs.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://dpaste.com/082Q624.txt
jurov: you post ub3rs3cr3t stuff to trilema?
asciilifeform: !up thestringpuller
asciilifeform: what is this crapolade.
asciilifeform: i demand a MODERN nsa tap !1111 on my line!
asciilifeform: (do they still write to magnetic wire cassette?!)
asciilifeform: i suppose they had to take an hour off to change the nsa tap.

asciilifeform: and it is not clear that the carpet is any dryer than before.
asciilifeform: and the buckets - leak.
asciilifeform: because we're at the stage where we beat her up, and expelled the madwoman, but now still have no pipes.
asciilifeform: so i wanted to link to mircea_popescu's article about dns, and the hypothetical demented gf who punctures the water pipes ☟︎
jurov: what if we v-ify our host records? but each independently to watch mircea trying to curate and put together most recent version and swearing loudly? ☟︎
jurov: here, too ☟︎
asciilifeform: ;;isup trilema.com
asciilifeform: (that is, by thermonuking ALL dns invocations)
asciilifeform: but this no longer solves the problem mircea_popescuistically.
punkman: any tiny dns resolvers one could use for this?
asciilifeform: hosts file will stop at the first match.
asciilifeform: not just the one particular aspect mircea_popescu locked onto
asciilifeform: because the WHOLE THING is braindamaged
asciilifeform: seems like you end up having to run own dns server, to do this.
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 14:04:42; jurov: kek dat log, again. good mircea_popescu is not trying to pin down ip address of therealbitcoin.org, as it has bunch of IP that constantly change

jurov: oh it's supposed to get paid via assbot. aok.
jurov: i doubt it is possible to run service like archive.is on trb debt, i tried to imagine it.. needs both bandwidth and ongoing maintenance (cuz gotta keep up with webdev shit)
jurov: however, i have no problem to cut hole in the firewall directly to the server for wot members if asked ☟︎

asciilifeform: fortunately, there is very little meat can do for the go prog
asciilifeform: (i often wonder if his loss helped to drive him into the nato meatpuppetry for which he is now famous in ru world)
