mircea_popescu: anyway. i hadn't any idea such a
thing as "British Board of Film Certification" existed. amusingly, i still don't. nice reddit name or w/e it was, facebook
trademark.
kakobrekla: not really as
they prolly have a coin counting machines.
mircea_popescu: that'll so
totally show it
to
the irs. not only
they get paid,
they get
to pleasantly waste more
time doing it!
mircea_popescu is looking forward
to
the "help me pay my income
tax with pennies!" kickstarter.
shinohai: but
thank you asciilifeform ,
trinque
shinohai: I haz registered firearm, not worried about fakes
tryin
to rob me.
trinque: lenovo has destroyed
the
thinkpad line, mind, but if comparing
to a
toshiba, probably better
phf: they call him
the elusive joe. -- nobody can catch him? -- nobody cares
to
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well,
that's pretty much
the end of
this discussion
then.
jurov: wao_: some xeon,
that's not important
mircea_popescu: that's nice, but i'm not looking for you
to help me anything. if you figure
this is what you want
to do with your life, stick around, with
the logs, build your rep,
then go do it.
jurov: wao_
there were some strange incidents more worrying
than ddos (unexplained shutdowns, simultaneous disk failures)
mircea_popescu: mno. im looking for someone who is in
the wot, as a primary factor organising
their existence,
to start a proper hoster, at
the colocation level.
wao_: and you are seeking for better hoster
to handle
that ddoses?
that's info I've recieved
assbot: Ben Carson’s campaign made a U.S. map and put a bunch of states in
the wrong place -
The Washington Post ... (
http://bit.ly/1NEcX8q )
mircea_popescu: nobody's in charge of everything, we're just sitting here
talking
talks and stuff.
wao_: mircea_popescu: and actuall hardware or datacenter cant handle
that? who is in charge of
that?
wao_: mili-? if mega
thats 10.8G daily, 324G/mo,
that's not
that lot, really
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> depends, but in general about 1mbps or
thereabouts.
wao_: and what's
total average monthly
traffic in and out?
mircea_popescu: never actually observed all
that significant ddos. at some point it was wp rpc calls even.
wao_: 10G ddos,
that isn't a lot, right?
mircea_popescu: has been known
to go over 10gbps, but it's never sustained.
wao_: mircea_popescu: hello! I heard you are searching for hoster? is it actuall? what are current bandwith
to boxes?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu wants
the healthy and unusgified spirit of
the orc but with 'human' work ethic
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 03:02:25; mircea_popescu: is
that his brain has decided it will not live without
the products of industry ; while his ass does not enjoy
the delights of anal proximity ; while
the
two are insepoarable, respectively : his ass from his head, and industry from maggotry.
assbot: Logged on 18-11-2015 19:16:11; mircea_popescu:
this is fundamental. if we, for whatever value of "we" you wish
to choose, can not and do not
transplant one on
the other, we will have failed.
mircea_popescu: truth be
told b-a needs a shitload more business kinda people.
lobbes can't wait until #b-a hosting is a
thing
lobbes: "who
the fuck knows" indeed
lobbes: this should be a reminder for me
to do another backup on own my server data
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck do i know, not like is in
the wot or anything.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for all i know dude went binge drinking sold
the servers
to pay strip club bill.
BingoBoingo: I guess someone put
the "bulletproof"
to
the
test.
mircea_popescu: well, just
the owner.
the chicks still around being all weirded out by
the novel situation.
mircea_popescu: if you
try and ping by domain name it can't resolve ; if you
try and ping by ip it can't route.
mircea_popescu: lobbes "a whole cluster" means,
the front server,
the db server,
the backup server, nameservers,
the works.
lobbes: not sure if
that means anything one way or
the other
lobbes: <mircea_popescu> i'm unpersuaded it has anything
to do with any ddos << when I attempt
to ping, I get
the 'can't find host' message rather
than just 100% packet loss
BingoBoingo: Given
those really bad early DDoS attacks seems kinda like
the upper limit for
the duration of one of
these
things
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Next
Thursday so
Thanksgiving. Next club meeting after
that is
the Friday.
BingoBoingo wondering if qntra will return
to accessibility before or after I get my 30 day chip from storytime club
mircea_popescu: it only becomes "two drunks" once
there's nothing else left
to say.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
turned out it was run by random addict and it's contemptible friends << Qntra was edited by
two drunks.
mircea_popescu: you gotta raise
the kids yourself, because everyone's parents have been a coupla dog vomits and
there's no adults inhabiting
the world.
mircea_popescu: iuf you recall, like
the first mpex listing was a fucking hoster
mircea_popescu: besides
the point anyway. datacenters in
the us or its phriends are off
the
table anyway. you all may feel just fine about paying
the usg, but i'm not.
kakobrekla: hetzner will nullroute when you reach x packets a second, doesnt even have
to be ddos
jurov: i just offered
to rent hetzner box so far
assbot: Logged on 18-11-2015 14:28:48; mircea_popescu: what you, or at any rate someone, has
to do is research a sane jurisdiction, register a company, find some datacenters, enter into service agreements, research some providers, buy some hardware, have it delivered etc.
assbot: Logged on 18-11-2015 13:52:49; mircea_popescu: in
this : just god damned colo some boxes already.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: consider writing article re:
the
thing
that ought
to be done by
the courageous in re: hosters ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno how
to put it more plainly, nor does it seem likely
the effort's not wasted.
mircea_popescu: if you imagine
this strategy works in any case, shape or form, you've just not lived long enough.
mircea_popescu: let me give you a pro
tip : pretty much all women i currently own were involved in a relationship when we met.
two
thirds of
them were involved in a relationship with a dude who "can't X until Y".
mircea_popescu: and i will particularly not stand
to
this absolutely noxious attitude.
ascii_field recalls
trying
to convince mircea_popescu of precisely
this but re: chip fab
mircea_popescu: this is fundamental. if we, for whatever value of "we" you wish
to choose, can not and do not
transplant one on
the other, we will have failed.
☟︎ ascii_field: mircea_popescu: if you buy a boat and wanna start pulling own fiber across
the sea, sign me up.
mircea_popescu: this is not some sort of minimally interesting / not such a big deal / whatever
thing.
mircea_popescu: it is plain as day
to me
that
there exists no natural occurence of "we'll just on our own power
take
this from
there and
this from here".
mircea_popescu: you also have
the retarded kids, working outside of
the west, but ALSO outside of
the actual work ethic of
the west.
mircea_popescu: it's
that
the market is very sharply divided : you have
the actual professionals, part of an actually professional
tradition.
these are, without exception, white men living in
the west. and consequently
they suffer from
the mental diseases incumbent on watching
too much dead empire
tv.
jurov: all i know such
thing does not exist anymore. either you use cloudflare, or become cloudflare, or suffer.
ascii_field will leave
the subject alone,
to qualified sorcerers, e.g., jurov
mircea_popescu: yes. well, if you're curious
to know what i know, as a result of you know, actual immediate interraction with
the
thing in question,
