BingoBoingo:
I am too dumbfounded by what
I heard today to believe any hard won minutes of uptime is going to be more revealing than working to begin litigation and forcing them to divulge in court.
BingoBoingo:
I would like to spend the rest of this afternoon productively setting up lawyer auditions with my copy of the contract and the local Código de Commercio
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: At this point, based on the previous conversation, there seems to be in no person at Latecho or Dedicado who can get us pipe.
I am inclined to begin auditioning commercial litigation folk this afternoon.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
I do not know how wise it is to tip the litigation hand and giving them warning.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
I suspect mp may have something useful to weight in with respect to knocking on chairman's door with contract first, or knocking on chairman's door with service papers first.
BingoBoingo: married with respect to Pizarro. Yes
I can see my approach as defective.
I may need to do remedial work in Diana's schoolhouse.
BingoBoingo:

I didn't manage to find the Trilema
I wanted to link on that point. In the line
I wanted to link you said something to the point of "raise rabbits, or do anything",
I intend to litigate the Latecho issue, get more involved in National Party politics, etc.
I wanted to honestly capture the despair my failure wrought on myself for myself and to read myself. And
I feel less pregnant and more
☝︎ BingoBoingo: Before
I get rolling on that
I do want to address something up log.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
I am ready to get rolling on 2-3.
I suspect the target of 1 is in hiding. The contract was on the table as we discussed at the coffee shop. They looked at it and apeared to recognize what it was.
I did not reference it or its text, but it was visible.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Recently it filled up big. Someone put in a huged controlled access fence taking up 1 new aisle of Tower 4 and their racks are full. But yes
I suspect they may be bankrupt/insolvent.
BingoBoingo:
I suspect Latecho's situation degraded substantially and recently within the past month. It appears the folks who could run things quit or were chased out. Despite a recently installed giant multirack cage
I assume is some streaming cache in the datacenter, Latecho does not appear healthy.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Just as concerning as the Airconditioner fuckup is who was addressing it. When you were here, you met Joaquim who is(was?) the guy in the glass box. He did glass box stuff.
I have no earthly idea why Maxi the sales manager and Oscar the Telecom manager were THE PEOPLE to be fucking with the air conditioners.
BingoBoingo: dump from Oscar. (now to answer asciilifeform's first question in as much detail and context as
I can)
BingoBoingo: After leaving with Oscar's assurance informaiton will be sent and with the final request that
I do receive everything,
I swung by Tienda Inglesa and bought a hand truck because
I'll probably need one.
I arrived back at the desk to see one email from Maxi asking if
I could send him my phone number again because my Movistar Uruguay phone number doesn't appear to be a Uruguay phone number.
I have yet to receive a datadump or link to a data
BingoBoingo: At one point they did ask IF
I HAD ANY INFORMATION!
I responded no.
I received no ransom notes or anything that suggests an attack. (there's more)
BingoBoingo: customer service and that their ASN's BGP declares Pasawar Intl peers with Antel. When pressed on what would happen if this was Antel
I received a lot of "
I dunno" and head hanging. (there's more)
BingoBoingo: They did mention they and dedicado were looking into "Arbor", this suggest that they googled DDoS mitigation. Maxi offered 1 MONTH as the timeframe to implement a reasonably stable solution other than blackholing.
I responded that if that is the case,
I am going to need ALL the information and
I am going to need it now. There were deflections to Century Link and the wait there, and
I responded with CenturyLink's notoriously poor
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
I am submitting this testimony as
I recollect it while it is fresh.
BingoBoingo: only other non-Antel option they could have pursued in country is Telefonica/Movistar. Maxi boy appeared legitimately shocked when
I pointed out Telefonica was shopping their Uruguay operation Pretrobras style and looking for an exit. Maximiliano said he was unfamiliar with that news. He his face contorted like an injured child's when
I told him the news was in the local papers recently (there's more)
BingoBoingo:
I paid for my own coffe drink called a 'lagrima' in cash and waited as they fiddled with the Pasawar Intl billing information to order their drinks. Oscar did seem inclined to forward information, but Maximiliano, like his predecessor Rodrigo interjected a couple times that he wants the information passed when "the situation is resolved". Each of these interjections was answered with "
I am running a business" and repetition of the point
BingoBoingo: they washed their hands we proceeded the quieter coffee shop one floor up for the breaking of the balls. On the way up
I mentioned how a client's other datacenter in "third world moldavia" managed to sent .pcaps and detailed information.
I was told the files they have are not .pcaps but "huge",
I told them
I want them anyways, that more than anything
I need all the information because 'this first week of October has already settled that
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Back.
I went to the freezone office, persisted at Latecho's intercom lock long enough to discover Maximiliano and Oscar together in the Tower 4 datacenter which houses our rack. Unlike the couple times last night where
I visited a cool datacenter, it was hot and loud with the noise of angry fans. They declared that this isn't normal and that they had tried a routine "maneuver" with the air conditioners which failed. After
lobbes: Though, now that
I think of it,
I may have just inadvertently scratched the inside of my eyelid the other day while rubbing it; irritation seemed to begin after that event.
I'll let it alone and give it until tomorrow in any case before seeing doctor (perhaps save some time/money this way)
lobbes:
http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941363 << could be insect (def. buggy here much like asciilifeform-istan). Though there are no visible 'bumps' that would indicate a bite.
I've been prone to "styes" before as well, but in this case it is a more uniform swelling of the entire lid vs a stye which tends to be focused on one area.
lobbes: asciilifeform: aha,
I did notice it detected the disconnects like a champ
lobbes: in that case
I will deploy detect_disconnect tonight methinks. The mp-wp bot will probably end up forking from this point in the logotron tree as well
lobbes: asciilifeform: roger that.
I've yet to deploy latest patch anyways, so this'll work out
diana_coman: asciilifeform:
I have pressed only to active_disconnect, not further
lobbes: The second chunk, which includes the searching and pingbacks portion,
I am not sure yet.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The freezone office is door, behind a couple doors
I don't have keys too
diana_coman: asciilifeform: tbh that's the mind-boggling thing ie what exactly are/were latech doing; and
I'd say BingoBoingo_ goes there with a flamethrower and doesn't leave until he finds out.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: re data in any case, it's the initial incident,
I didn't specifically ask them for *all requests to my server*;
I asked them exactly for "attack", apparently some 8 minutes on Friday before they updated their rules and got rid of it pretty much.
diana_coman: it's been unreachable since yesterday evening (or at least that's when
I checked and found out nope)
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-07 06:32:48 diana_coman: upon asking my moldavian ISP for the data re attack on my server, they sent over a .pcap file + a .pdf file with an analysis; it says max 1.5Gbits/s on Oct 4th; the whole thing seems to be coming in from 8 IPs;
I still have to look at the .pdap in detail

mp_en_viaje: and THEN he has newton go into fucking monologue, like wanna-be shakespeare, "oh
i am so and forth and my parents and my curse", what is he, fucking bastiano ?
mp_en_viaje:
i've over the years reviewed a lot of widely distant grant proposals and then deliveries on those proposals ; but shaw's play here discussed is by very far the most disjunct.
i feel defrauded.
mp_en_viaje:
i fail to see the difference between this shaw and yesterdays moron with the vasectomized real men.
i do. it's not fucking present
mp_en_viaje: then he moves on to point out that the only source of interest is... encounters. meeting. "what if newton knew charles ?" is the mother of all theatre.
i can see this, it makes perfect sense, and it's the exact sort of stroke of utter genius that makes shaw have a name in the first place.
mp_en_viaje: it is,
i'm with him. there;s also no need to keep pretending "new titles" for porn films. you need...
i dunno, mAAAAybe a few dozen,
pre-given and fixed forever ; then keep re-shooting them ~as such~ every time there's a new cunt comes off the highschool benches juicy enough to justify the effort.
mp_en_viaje:
i can follow along with the man, "hey, restoration comedy as a vehicle for the trade in meats, yet another-eth attempt at selling whatever young cunt's hips, thigs, waist and tits under the flimsy pretext & distraction of "being" moll whatever is outstandingly uninteresting
mp_en_viaje: nor is this disease of passivity yours alone. asciilifeform is in the ~same position, at some point he became the manager of a venture ? whatevs. how and what did this alter in his life ? ~same as for the "

i say mean, hurtfu
mp_en_viaje: if
i show you that indeed peering arrangements are trivially reviewable over the internet you then apply it, that's fine, but why do
I have to show you, you were there for all these years and never did it occur to you to look ? why not ? you did not know dcs peer, for instance ? it never occured to you that they must ? why not ? what's needed, other than me showing you specifically, for it to occur ?
mp_en_viaje: w it with the threads of connectivity, because you're not fit to be a citizen of the 1950s when they put the man on the moon and
i belong,
i firmly and substantially belong in the 2000s, when we have undersea cables" ?
mp_en_viaje: did you spend your time poring over "how does networking work ?" "what is connectivity ?" how many dc maps did you review, how many dc people did you talk to and what about, did you bother to learn the global connectivity map by heart, just as a fuckyou to the darkness, "look,
i can trace all the main lines people spent millions / meter to even lay in the first place, you can't even draw the fucking planisphere and
i can dra
mp_en_viaje: you're, for the experience, not now an experienced, seasoned dc technician.
i was waiting for the word "pcap" to come out of you, as a token show of even having a clue what the fuck this all is -- zilch.
mp_en_viaje: so, you take job running isp, have some time there, do not spend that time to acquire the things someone running isp has and you do not. then later, you're doing whatever it is you're doing for pizarro, it's not clear to me (or,
i suspect, to them), but you don't actually acquire ~any~ kind of skills involved.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo_,
i tell you
i don't comprehend this defective approach, as seen in "
I don't know if
I can continue to make camp in Uruguay on Qntra alone or in combination with the local economy of faltas. Maybe
I breed rabbits" and elsewhere.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 03:37:23 mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, honestly
i ddin't want to use them because moldavia right next to ru geograpically, but
i guess they're making it strictly impossible not to.
i will have to sit down lobbes' thing somewhere as per our contract, and considering it's been a fucking month ALREADY
i'd rather not have it waited, especially indefinitely.

mp_en_viaje:
i can say definitely that outside of ancient newspapers of very narrow scholarly interest
eg and REALLY old versions of europapers (
eg) nothing reads even remotely as well as qntra.
☝︎ mp_en_viaje: "the body of work
I have written for Qntra" << it is pretty fucking good.
i usually read it as it comes out ; but it IS news, so
i also read it
like i read news, six months to a year+ later.
mp_en_viaje: "
I volunteered for the Uruguay mission to save Qntra" <<
i remember that part
mp_en_viaje: ooooh
i see, dns is down, page saved by

i see. doh.

lobbes:
I am getting quite tired of the ameri-cunt in general
mp_en_viaje: throw in a belgrade or w/e
i fit gets boring.
lobbes: guess
I can't think of a reason why
I would, tbh. Really all
I need is an income with what to feed myself.
lobbes: problem with der osterreich last time
I looked into it, though, was that they required something like 8 years of living to get permanent residence or somesuch. But this was some time ago when
I looked into it
mp_en_viaje: no bums, no garbage, no busking, no great crowding, no complaints even if
i went looking for some.
lobbes: Week 5 will consist of tying off any loose ends, and continued testing.
I also will need to start 'pre-grinding' the code
I currently have to 'fork' from the
direct_disconnect.kv.vpatch lobbes: since my
main blog is stuck in the latech mire atm,
I will give my unofficial 'mp-wp-bot week 5 workplan' in the logs:
I have virtually all of
week 4's work complete, save for the piping in of needed values from the mp-wp-config bits, which
I may be able to complete tonight.
lobbes: (No selection working on above test blog, so can't link to portion specifically. Though folx can laugh at my solipsistic rantings as they scroll toward the 03:00 mark
I suppose)
mp_en_viaje: nevertheless,
i think it well evinces the "normal traffic" vs "wanna-be retard" disctintion. now what if
i were to take ever single graph-obvious ding as a ddos ?!
i mean, count them, there's dozens just today -- again, a ~very slow~ day as these go
mp_en_viaje: this is a very slow day as far as these go ; notwithstanding
i just publisjhed a massive, 300 pic, 30mb article yesterday. "ddos" has ~no connection in observed practice to any such practical details, it'll happen whenever some moron / machine gets an erection, not when "you did this or that".

i dun even disagree with mp_en_viaje's
drop if you can't win -- but the flip side is that must NOT surrender if still could.

BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: DDoS was a thing before Cloudflare, but
I don't recall random
i.e. without explicit demand DDoS being a thing until Cloudflare came around.
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: no; it has been up; it failed now when
I reported it
