mircea_popescu: (me last year, waiting for cab with dude in
timisoara. cab kinda late. me : "check it out, i'ma light a cigarette and by
the magical magic of smoking, it'll show up immediately.
mircea_popescu: i
think you may have a genetic explanation of intelligence
there.
trinque: asciilifeform:
the notable part is
that attack stopped for both of us when I mentioned it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but
there isn't a box in
the windoze
to input
that purpose.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall
the ancient discussion re "what if nsa held a bunch of btc" ?
assbot: Moderator asks audience, "Who here
thinks
there will be a hard fork missile crisis?" /petertoddbtc raises his hand.
jurov: just move
the sshd
to alternative port (best if it isn't in nmap shortlist)
danielpbarron: someone is also doing
the same
to another ip address i have
trinque: danielpbarron: oh yeah, I've got
those IPs
mod6: is
there a preferred version of gentoo
that I should
test on?
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 18:07:41; ascii_field: ben_vulpes: i recommend strongly against ipv6 in
this machine
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 18:04:58; ben_vulpes: and it'll remain
that way until
the block download
thing is fixed
to a)
track node quality and b) spot-check blocks provided by high quality peers
mircea_popescu: there's no lever
to
toggle from enemy
to friend or w/e.
mod6: trinque: ah, ok.
thanks. i
think i'll
try
to set up a local one first. my env is x86_64, but maybe vbox will let me run a x86_32 environment
mircea_popescu: the only option agents have is whether
to exist or not exist.
mircea_popescu: there literally is no enemy.
there can't be. bitcoin is agnostic in
this sense.
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 18:04:25; ben_vulpes:
there is no friend/foe
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 17:48:05; ascii_field: (who don't appear
to be logged in at present, but, still)
mod6: does anyone know where I might be able
to get a gentoo vm?
trinque: danielpbarron: nah I was
talking about a bot attacking my VPS
mircea_popescu: <jurov> did you solve
the clock, does it need
time sync at all? << REAL CLOCKS KEEP
THEIR OWN
TIME!
mod6 has never liked
top much
mod6: <+danielpbarron>
top << instead of
this heavy weight bs, vmstat
brendafdez: mircea_popescu it works now. Anyway
the IP I'm on now is one of a public AP, it shouldnt be whitelisted. I'll later give you my home IP, and BingoBoingo has my VPS IP already. I didn't know you were filtering.
nubbins`: anyway for
the sake of popping it in
there, keep sshd
trinque: my VPS has something attacking it at
the moment, lol
nubbins`: i'm not soldering anything into more
than one unit
danielpbarron: it sounds like a very hard
thing
to do if you've never soldered before, but
think of it as a good excuse
to learn a new skill
trinque: if you give a mouse an sshd he's going
to want his pubkey added
nubbins`: <+danielpbarron> if
the
thing ascii is making will not sshd, anyone who wishes
to help
test will need
to "adulterate"
their pogo <<< plz
to sshd!
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2015 01:58:25; asciilifeform: ^ above code will have
to be changed
to actually set
the machine clock ?
jurov: did you solve
the clock, does it need
time sync at all?
trinque has simply read
too much loper os,
the blockchain
telegraphy one in particular
danielpbarron: if
the
thing ascii is making will not sshd, anyone who wishes
to help
test will need
to "adulterate"
their pogo
trinque: the guy who buys
this either can service, can buy a new one, or fuck off..
there's no support staff
trinque: the disposable RTS unit
thing rings
true
danielpbarron: in
that case, none of what i just listed is needed
trinque: if
they're fire and forget anything
that needs an open port is an attack vector
danielpbarron: i use
top
to watch for when bitcoind is done
throwing a
tantrum
danielpbarron: top might not be needed; i'm just listing
the
things I use on a regular basis on pogo
trinque: danielpbarron:
that's all in busybox iirc
ascii_field: if anyone has notions of what cmdline utils ought
to be included - please say.
mircea_popescu: just forget it, srsly. seed list can live on hdd with blockchain if
the notion of hardcoded magic ip numbers makes you retch
mircea_popescu: dude keeps exposing himself
to
these cardano by xmas
type of
things. why all
the self hate yo!
ascii_field wishes
to ask mircea_popescu for a favourite
tarball of gpg, signed
ascii_field can probably implement it in less
time
than building linux 3.18
took
mircea_popescu: i am however saying
that no one here can implement it in zero
time.
mircea_popescu: i'm in no case saying
that w/e, any one in b-a *couldn't * correctly implement what alf is proposing./
trinque: mircea_popescu: 100% granted,
that is a fine reason not
to do it
mircea_popescu: it's just more hard work
to read
the shit. which is work. which we don't fucking hasve
the
time for.
ascii_field: trinque: mircea_popescu was alluding
to protocol finesse
trinque: beat
the
thing one more
time... publishing say a magnet link from a known address
to an address or addresses representing a bittorrent magnet link seems a fine way
to be able
to
trust shuffling bits out
to nodes if
that were wanted
jurov: and alf will finally get his dreamed out gasenwagen
too
jurov: i see, it actually helped
thepirateby immensely
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 21:56:26; mircea_popescu: i
totally wish
to see it.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron
the (actually sound) argument is
that
they won't be 20 forever, we're eating up a bubble of externalised cost.
danielpbarron: i know "time isn't really money" but however long it
takes
to upgrade one of
these
things is probably enough
time
to earn more
than 20 USD working at McDonalds
nubbins`: they're 100% welcome
to grab
the latest foundation release, because obv it'll still work
nubbins`: so if anyone particularly feels like
they don't want
their out of date unit
to be so
nubbins`: obviously if
the foundation is still producing new releases, it's going
to be maintaining a seed list for
that release, rather
than just continuing
to let
the dead nodes build up
mircea_popescu: you know, like industry works since fortever. not like ford mondeo got recalled because hey,
they got ford fluence out, so
they'll conver
them
mircea_popescu: and if you want
to change, derp. change
the production flux.
mircea_popescu: i propose whoever makes one puts w/e
the fuck
they want in
there and
that's
that for
the damned unit in question
nubbins`: mircea_popescu so are you proposing
that all pogos ever sent out will contain 0.5.3.1 or w/e current release is when
the first one goes out?
nubbins`: trinque
that's not what you were looking for 8)
trinque: nubbins`: you can declare you've spent my coin? and others will be able
to verify
this?
mircea_popescu: (and before anyone goes "how could we implement signature checking incorrectly",
this was discussed mere days ago. === "no errors found" or what was it)
