mircea_popescu: because who
the fuck else would not know what fuel he wants
to burn
mircea_popescu: there are some "universal fuel" power generators, mostly marketed
to end user derps
☟︎ BingoBoingo: decimation: Point releases happen in May and November on
the first
decimation: "Most oil-fired steam locomotives used Bunker C, although in some parts of
the country
they actually burned raw crude oil. As noted before, Bunker C was readily available and dirt cheap. (Steve Lee, April 18, 2000, via email
to
The Streamliner discussion group)"
decimation: so
the 5.8 release will probably be in
the autumn sometime?
TomServo: excited
to have just gotten my first console on
the edgerouter
TomServo: Booted via
tftp, installed from
there
BingoBoingo: Nice, made it in before 5.8 hit Beta
this week
TomServo: The docs don't exactly reflect it, but I can confirm
the snapshot of 5.8 does see and boot from usb.
TomServo: In other news, I noticed
this blurb on
the OpenBSD octeon page
today: "In June 2015 USB support was added which finally allowed installing
to local disk on machines lacking a CF slot."
decimation: www.theatlantic.com/photo/2013/01/nigerias-illegal-oil-refineries/100439/ <
they literally refine it in jungle conditions
BingoBoingo: decimation: I was more
thinking about how such vehicles create space for
themselves.
mircea_popescu: putting gasoline in a diesel engine is not unlike putting crude oil in a
tar or coal plant.
mircea_popescu: none of
them run on crude, not since 1880 at any rate.
mircea_popescu: plenty of models made
to run onm
the heavy stuff left after gas distillation
mircea_popescu: crude oil is not realy useful
to power an electric plant.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i've passed up opportunities
to own a
truck quite like
that, on account of having nowhere
to keep it <<
Truck like
that keeps itself
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> entirely plausible
that mr spamphone likes buying surplus. << I remember in
the old
Tom Clancy novels his various supposed NatSec agencies being funded by "spamzors" and
their financial equivalent.
decimation: nigeria, for example, is drowning in cheap crude oil - could be 'diverted'
to power someone's bitcoin mining operation
decimation: who also has access
to 'free' electricity - which he uses
to mine
decimation: one wild
theory:
this isp and its hangers-on are 'owned' by some
tinpot dictator in africa
decimation: but
that dish would cost a couple $ mil easy
decimation: it's possible
they use
the massive dish
to hit geo stuff
that's very low on
the horizon
decimation: it's odd
they have such a massive dish
too
decimation: you can see on streeview from
the east side
decimation: also, did you note
the military looking vehicles in
their parking lot?
decimation: well,
that office doesn't look like a very big data center
decimation: now, if
these folks are running miners,
the question is 'why over sat link'
decimation: employing "ACM" which apparently switches between 4psk and 16 qam, which would allow a gross
throughput of approx 60-120 megabit/sec
decimation: the lyngsat page says
that at least
two of
the 30 MHz
transponders are dedicated
to AOL
decimation: but
they
typically use 8 or 4 psk in
those analog segments
decimation:
http://www.loral.com/inthenews/020605.html "Each of
the new Intelsat IX series satellites carries 76 C-band and 22 Ku-band operating
transponders (in 36 MHz equivalents), and its solar arrays will generate more
than 8.6 kilowatts of power (beginning of life)."
decimation: unfortunately
the 12 meter dish is pointing up (probably 'safed') so I can't determine its bearing
decimation: that would line
them up with Intelsat 905
decimation: asciilifeform:
the northern
two dishes appear
to be pointed
toward a heading of 107 degrees (true)
mats: DEFCON is not canceled,
this is satire, for any casual observers
mats: "I believe
that we are in a post-hacker world ... We should strive
to be professionals, making
the Internet a safer place rather
than exposing vulnerabilities
that can be leveraged by criminals and
terrorists.
This is why I'm going
to encourage you
to attend professional security conferences like Black Hat, RSA, SANS and others"
decimation: lemme see if I can figure out which satellite
the minor dishes are pointed at
decimation: biggest one is 12m according
to google earth
mats: heh, how did you come upon
this?
decimation: asciilifeform: what do
these companies do?
BingoBoingo: mats: Phuctor broke 95.
The duplicate modulus is a different kind of warning
than broken
Adlai: mats: i'm not sure you're reading
that quite right
BingoBoingo: popmechanic: Build GPG, preferably a 1.4.x series version and do
the key generation
thing again
mats: popmechanic: piling on a bit here, but i suggest running it
through Phuctor, a service
that attempts
to factor keys with weak moduli --
http://nosuchlabs.com danielpbarron: it is possible
to make your own key offline
through keybase but I just don't see
the point
trinque: how can you be sure you're running
the JS
they intended? (or
that
their JS intends well)
popmechanic: Correct, I believe
the key is generated client side.
popmechanic: Apparently
they just offer email addresses? Not sure, first
time I’ve used
the service. I
totally understand and am prepared
to agree with a predjudice against a service like
this, because
they’re going
to end up sitting on private keys. But it’s optional, and actually a pretty handy way
to manage a few aspects of PGP management.
danielpbarron: that means his key was generated in web browser via javascript, I
think
BingoBoingo: popmechanic: DO you work for Keybase or do
they just offer email addy's at
their domain.
assbot: Searching pgp.mit.edu for key with fingerprint: 48802F831BAFC232A26C974A0DA5926BC6E7BDCF.
This may
take a few moments.
BingoBoingo: popmechanic: Sounds like a solid plan. Probably would be prudent
to register.
The you can self voice
to ask questions. WHen asking questions you will probably get links which will lead you
to
the golden six months of logs
to read.
popmechanic: Michael Goldstein referenced
this channel on
Twitter
today. I hadn’t heard of it and am interested in Bitcoin so I
thought I’d lurk for, oh, 6 months or so;)
