mircea_popescu: considering what sats cost these days...
trinque: just build it such that it'll work on that too
trinque: I really don't think not having a b-a satellite network should preclude getting started on gossipd
mircea_popescu: there is no requirement the us must remain connected.
mircea_popescu: and if they aren't, im going to use the competition.
mircea_popescu: and if they refuse to sign a contract, im going to sue them for refusing to sign a contract, which thewy actually have to do being a de facto monopoluy
decimation: if you are in a datacenter you might get this level of service
mircea_popescu: which they have to execute.
mircea_popescu: im going to sue them, because we have a contract.
mircea_popescu: but the very basic "all plaintext email is spam, throw it out" rule would do that.
decimation: isn't that exactly what 'ddos protection' and 'spam protect' do?
ben_vulpes: <decimation> boost compiles fine with macports << i'm a homebrew dood. perhaps this is wrong?
trinque: as said the existing internet does very much the same thing
mircea_popescu: you seriously proposing the internet just goes away ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this notion that infrastructure has power is ludicrous.
trinque: point would be to define your own network layer, then have multiple transports over which it may be routed
mircea_popescu: what's next, power rangers will hurt the bitrcoin foundation by not releasing further crap ?
decimation: how you gonna send anything then?
mircea_popescu: that is like suicide for them
decimation: or, they choose to null route only your stuff
mircea_popescu: or they break it, in which case they kill themselves but we still don't care (for the same reason original internet was robuts - rerouting)
mircea_popescu: i dun see how they do anything. either they maintain compliance with tcp/ip spec as is, in which case they do nothing
mircea_popescu: you drop all traffic except port 1337 and check sigs for that so as to only forward stuff to your own peers that they accept.
decimation: or have the power to do so anyway
decimation: yes but what if two wot members are peered through several untrusted hosts?
mircea_popescu: you discard what they route anyway.
decimation: someone is gonna have to be in the middle, who may or may not route packets at their pleasure
decimation: yeah but that still implies physical connection
mircea_popescu: none of this bs "every one walking is my peer".
mircea_popescu: you don't even need to charge per se. just, PEER. as in, actually.
mircea_popescu: server that rejects requests on 80 etc is way harder all of a sudden
decimation: that was kinda my point about the 'charging per route'
mircea_popescu: it could trivially work on existing infrastructure really. the ability to ddos only exists on some ports and in some circumstances as it is, because that's what the derps use.
mircea_popescu: if you need to ask we do not want to see you.
decimation: but how do I plug into this network?
mircea_popescu: exactly how it works here : we have a public slut (ie, gribble) who will convey a message to anyone, and who can trivially be silenced. otherwise, suppose unknown asks you to convey message to me. well ? why would you.
mircea_popescu: this needn't be true.
mircea_popescu: you know those hops in the traceroute ? well... the assumption is that they'll just take a packet.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, all the web that matters will be visible to all the people who matter.
decimation: note that this kinda implies you are building your own network, not using some else's ip routing
mircea_popescu: this will make "most of the web" inaccessible to "most people", but only if we measure "most" linearily.
mircea_popescu: 1Mpps has been seen, so... yeah routing over wot will not be a trivial problem. but it does have a trivial solution :
decimation: very few providers in the world could even measure 100 gbs ddos
assbot: Logged on 19-07-2015 19:35:33; jurov: dear decimation these ddoses have tens or hundreds gigabits... and not with 1500 byt packets
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-07-2015#1206472 << not that much bw, just shitty packets. ☝︎
trinque: asciilifeform: got elephant working with postgresql, wasn't too bad
mircea_popescu: but past that... who the fuck cares. ☟︎
decimation: in fact, there's a point where it hits an 'uncanny valley' and you realize it's all a set with fake shit everywhere
mircea_popescu: moving from 2mb gifs to 600mb .avis was a great reason to ditch the cdrom get a dvd
mircea_popescu: moving from asciiart tits to 500kb gifs was a great reason to ditch the diskette and put in a cdrom
decimation: indeed. my experience is not enhanced by watching the individual whiskars on gandolf's beard
mircea_popescu: except there is such a thing as spurious detail.
mircea_popescu: more like in hopes that social relevancy is tied to "technological advancement".
decimation: heh now the 'movie industry' is going to 4k (3840 x 2160) 3D - in hopes they can hold off piracy, would be my guess
mircea_popescu: "can't afford to not hire this guy now and have him hired by someone later".
mircea_popescu: decimation this was the pickiness.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-07-2015#1206433 << you're not gonna have "hdtv" on your thing. not that i mind. i wish they stopped making movies over 700mb. you REALLY do not need more than that for an hour of whatever ☝︎
decimation: all of the testing amounts to 'unofficial iq tests', as far as I can tell
decimation: maybe in their young and dumb days, but now they are legendary for their pickiness
mircea_popescu: anwyay, the notion that google hires derps with degrees is news to me. i thought nobody got to finish his degree because hired in 3rd year. ☟︎
decimation: except, nobody seems to blackmail microsoft for pumping out shit
mircea_popescu: whole fucking country is by now the United Republic of Blackmail.
decimation: not to the shakedown artists
mircea_popescu: they took 4% last year and are in the workforce at 2% ?
mircea_popescu: Last year, black students took home 4.1 percent of the bachelor’s degrees in computer science"
mircea_popescu: "But fresh data show that top schools are turning out black and Hispanic graduates with tech degrees at rates significantly higher than they are being hired by leading tech firms.
decimation: they carefully craft routing tables with all their peers so that they can have multiple hosts with the same ip
decimation: https://blog.cloudflare.com/a-brief-anycast-primer/ < cloudflare describes how they do it
mircea_popescu: anyway, all this is (as you prolly expect it from shit i do) very much experimental. trying to actually make a site where users can safely use their ips.
decimation: which is why it didn't go down, they did spend $x mil, possibly $bil
mircea_popescu: well that makes sense then. i was impressed originally.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-07-2015#1206424 << he has a point there. ☝︎
decimation: which one? the akamai host you linked?
mircea_popescu: god only knows what the bill actually was.
mircea_popescu: i think they spent a coupla million real dollars on that gateway
mircea_popescu: nuked the parody site rightr off the net, but wh stands.
mircea_popescu: many things valuable.
decimation: which is valuable to know
decimation: yeah, and your 'gambit' confirmed that they do strictly this
assbot: Logged on 19-07-2015 19:16:30; decimation: the amusing thing to me is that the 'ddos cannon' is using dns
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-07-2015#1206415 << gotta get teh ips somehow neh. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 19-07-2015 19:09:25; decimation: also, I don't know what the 'web 2.0' thing he posted a picture of is? is that some kind of dns control panel?
mircea_popescu: then they sprout cheeky teenagers with "nordic system" delusions. won't fill the void.
mircea_popescu: anyway, zee germans have gained a very petty habit of being miserable to the people they owe gratitude to. no hitler statues, put that kohl fellow in jail...
decimation: yes that's true, also see this http://www.arnoldkling.com/blog/what-im-re-reading-2/
mircea_popescu: only because germany was feigning death at the time.
mircea_popescu: this is not populism, this is plain old nationalism.
mircea_popescu: specifically re 13 : if isis submits a bid to buy out raytheon, this proposal will not go to the shareholders. it will go to a so called "anti trust regulator" or w/e, which will reject it.
decimation: after all, britian capitulated rather quickly to us demands for it to 'decolonize'
decimation: at any rate, my original point is that it would have been interesting to see german v. the world in an economic war rather than military
mircea_popescu: he didn't act in a supportive manner throughout.
mircea_popescu: s/fuck you/you made the statement, you prove it/ for any unschooled gals in the audience.
mircea_popescu: not that the guy is pointedly "against populism", admitting for the sake of argument that tyhe concept even holds meaning outside of its proper reference (it is after all a notion of democracy). but then again the bar for "not being x" is not "being patently against x"
mircea_popescu: i don't recall any sort of voting being held on when to attack, soviet style.
decimation: 13. We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations (trusts).
decimation: "7. We demand that the State shall make it its primary duty to provide a livelihood for its citizens. If it should prove impossible to feed the entire population, foreign nationals (non-citizens) must be deported from the Reich."
mircea_popescu: (great film btw, murphy is the heir to the throne of zamunda, pursues some ugly nigglet in queens. who doesn't like him because he's rich, and to their assheads at the time in the 80s this is a flaw)_
decimation: umm, our discussion about this a few nights ago? http://www.contravex.com/2015/07/17/turns-out-you-wanted-hitler-after-all/
mircea_popescu: you can quote chapter and verse for this notion or are merely relying on what us agitprop and clueless derps like that mcdowell woman in that eddie murphy movie told you ?
decimation: all that might be true, but the nazi platform appeared to mostly be "give to the people all the things" (minus jews, foreigners, etc)
