trinque: it may also be pointed at a stage3 which is no longer available. They delete the old ones rather rapidly.
trinque: I can modify it for you if you'd like it to write to a block device; it requires changing a variable at the top and altering the lilo config
trinque: mircea_popescu: also http://deedbot.org/genbootstrap.sh and http://deedbot.org/genbootstrap.sh.sig << the configuration in the script currently dumps out a root.img which can be loaded into qemu
shinohai: and just like that it starts back up
trinque: mircea_popescu: I briefly began explaining what a port is, then gave up.
ascii_field: 25 was a desperate spamcontrol measure in the late '90s
mircea_popescu: trinque> I was amazed to find I was not allowed to have an open port 25 on comcast residential. <<< i'm amazed at the notion of a "not allowed" port in general.
BingoBoingo: My stator (DB patched) is finally up to July 5th fork, sped up considerably since I had it -connect to local sync'd node (moved to this arrangement to open 8333)
mod6: are you getting strange errors in the log? or the node your -connect'd to is just done??
shinohai: I seem to be stuck on height 314526 for the moment.
phf: i think main value of business account with us telco, they actually show you how short the leash is. instead of "unlimited everything!!1" you get an equivalent of 90s dialup, but you're free to use it at saturation levels
ascii_field: but i will note that they cut off EVERYTHING
ascii_field: i suspect that 8333 is considered a 'funny' port
trinque: I was amazed to find I was not allowed to have an open port 25 on comcast residential.
shinohai: comcast used to do that, but i have business class nau
trinque: because you... actually use the service
trinque: maybe you tripped some "anti-malware" thing they use to mitigate aids-spewing windows boxes
ascii_field: shinohai: they also switched my ip (it happens 2-3x a year)
shinohai: i suppose this is why i found your node unreachable
ascii_field: there was no official communication concerning this.
shinohai: Are they emulating at&t now ?

punkman: oic now "certain highly sensitive code—stuff akin to the Google’s PageRank search algorithm—resides in separate repositories only available to specific employees."
mircea_popescu: google needs to move now because otherwise it could stymy adoption in this early stage of the game
mircea_popescu: then they would never fit
mircea_popescu: if every person on earth wrote just 50 lines of code, which is a very small number of lines of code to write for the progress world etc,
mircea_popescu: join my petition for google to increase its google size.
punkman: "all 2 billion lines sit in a single code repository available to all 25,000 Google engineers." << what and nobody has leaked them yet
punkman: "estimates that the software needed to run all of Google’s Internet services—from Google Search to Gmail to Google Maps—spans some 2 billion lines of code."

mircea_popescu: "are you 17 ? you got what it takes to stab your mom ? mp wants to hear from you BEFORE you manage to blow your wad on nothing worth the mention. come let's make beautiful music together."
mircea_popescu: i really should set up a hotline for these chicks.

mod6: i recently shutdown my fully sync'd openbsd node a week or two ago -- took quite a wait for it to finally exit. but i didn't keep close track of the time. could have easily been an hour though.
mircea_popescu: i dun recall it ever taking that long, but, as the man says. give it a bit.
mod6: <+gernika> ran bitcoind stop << this method that i use
gernika: ran bitcoind stop - the logs indicate that it ran through the shutdown procedure, but the process itself still runs
mod6: gernika: did you get it figured out then?
mircea_popescu: in other news, ""Greetings for the day! Hope you are doing great! My name is Letha Lozano and I am a Website Consultant. I found your email account online and would like to discuss some business opportunities with you""
mircea_popescu: gernika ah ok then. so shut it down should be ok.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: i've heard stories of atl's traffic shmozzle
thestringpuller: ^^^ reminds me of the plot of S1 of HCF
assbot: Logged on 10-05-2015 17:11:59; asciilifeform: phun phact: virtually everything we publicly know re: how an intel cpu inits comes from the great ami bios source leaks
mats: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=10-05-2015#1127018 << intel publishes docs on this ☝︎
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: it's usually the traffic you sit in it long enough and you get tired.
assbot: Logged on 16-09-2015 09:00:07; thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: honestly, how fucking smart and alert do you have to be to drive a car ? << I have always had sleep problems. As a kid would always fall asleep on car rides. And as an adult I seem to regularly fall asleep at the wheel and still get home. But this is super dangerous. I really need to just pull over and nap for a second or red bull it up like a trucker would do...
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276154 << you REGULARLY fall asleep at the wheel ? yikes man. get thee a shorter commute, a later work start time, or yes, mega-amounts of caffeine. if you're traveling >20mph, that is. ☝︎
gernika: grepping the source of stator I see no references to "detach." Seems like versions prior to .6 automatically detach on shutdown (from google results). Only relevant ba discussion I can find is here: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=06-08-2015#1227642 ☝︎
punkman: "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great."
mircea_popescu: oh damn, i'm seeing the bytecount
punkman: OP_RETURN is 9 characters though
punkman: I don't think it's something
punkman: mircea_popescu: OP_RETURN just adds arbitrary bytes to the transaction
mircea_popescu: no to the latter. and to the former, make it detatch the db.
gernika: mod6 so I've finally rebuilt my blkindex.dat after probably corrupting it last time I shutdown bitcoind. I need to shut it down again. Is there a way to safely shutdown bitcoind? Or at a minimum, back up the blkindex.dat of a running node?
asciilifeform: in updated version of the old fable, perhaps, the grasshopper devours the ant. and his stash. and then wonders what next.
asciilifeform: what will they have going when they've eaten the last german ?
mircea_popescu: gotta hand it to the "immigrants" : they got a lot more going for them than zee germans do at this point.
asciilifeform: protocols of the elders of syria ?
assbot: Pétition · City of Munich: Ban the Intolerant and Anti-Islamic event of Oktoberfest · Change.org ... ( http://bit.ly/1NxljC8 )
mircea_popescu: aaand from the right in time ministry : the new refugees to Munich are petitioning to have Oktberfest cancled because it is offensive.

VariaVarietatis: mircea_popescu: I got sort of an odd question asked you before but got side tracked why one wot for eulora and b-a and shouldn't a game have its own wot to allow eve online style play?
mircea_popescu: not like it'd be that hard either. distributed datastore.
mircea_popescu: if teh server bs continues, we end up hosting on USG owned computers exclusively.
asciilifeform: the best leverage naturally is to find usg's magic tendrils already there.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: many other devices to infect, also. most heavy-lifting NICs are reflashable, have multi-core (!) cpu, etc.
asciilifeform: one would have to either steal the datasheet somewhere, or empirically (!) reverse the thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform once we decide to go all north korea we use that to make mega-infector steal all the bases.
asciilifeform: the annoying thing about disk controllers is that pretty much the whole thing is one gigantic pile of undocumented regs
shinohai: I liked this a lot http://qntra.net/2014/11/buterins-waterfall-a-likbez/
mircea_popescu ponders whether the embarassment is worth that much. then remembers the value of "the public" is 0. obviously could use this to steal a lot of monyz, but meh.
VariaVarietatis: mircea_popescu: trying to make the call graph on trilema.com
asciilifeform: of course it would appear less classy if one thinks about how they likely got the forced cooperation of the vendors
mircea_popescu: alrighty then, i got nothing.
asciilifeform: if someone were to pay for it, yes, i could say what the payload is.
asciilifeform: aha, it was them.
mircea_popescu: this is not the same thing is it ?
mircea_popescu: "A recent publication by Kaspersky Lab (mirror) describes the first publicly-confirmed instance of a Microsoft Windows 'trojan' capable of infecting hard disk drive firmware. "
asciilifeform: later i got hold of the actual binaries.
asciilifeform: one of the very few articles i wrote personally
mircea_popescu: we've not seen that they ever actually did.
thestringpuller: "We have to cavity search them just to be sure!"
asciilifeform: and it cannot be said that these folks never have class. diddled disk fw is classy.
thestringpuller: was watching beavis and butthead do america last night. fbi somehow gets involved in trying to track them down for reasons, but everyone who has encountered the teens gets cavity searched.
asciilifeform: if i were in the service of hitler, that is how ~i~ would have written it.
asciilifeform: in the craftsman.
mircea_popescu: they're not classy, the "victims" aren't classy either. whence all this class ?
mircea_popescu: but i was asking, what'd be the point for nsa to make something classier.
mircea_popescu: or might have been just off the cuff comment here.
asciilifeform: that would be the point then.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you had an article, iirc, about u.s. firms voluntarily bending over by installing cisco and related gear, to avoid the rougher and less lubricated anal inspection of 'national security letter' etc.
thestringpuller: Cisco hardware has been diddle more than catholic school boys.
mircea_popescu: what part of b-a are we analysing today, VariaVarietatis ?
mircea_popescu: and this is worth doin gbecause...
asciilifeform: or hell, leak the key in delays or other garbage
