BingoBoingo: brendafdez: are you willing to listen to a story in 3 parts?
BingoBoingo: brendafdez: You ever try?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The worst part is I know this had to have been targetted. Someone had to spend a non-trivial amount of time. I suspect a partcular name and yet... ☟︎
asciilifeform must be off to sleep, and will leave you folks with http://engwonders.byethost9.com/e047.html
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if it makesyafeelbetter, a phriend of mine once pwned an indian spamwalla centre where they did this.
BingoBoingo: Some lite skinned indian motherfucker was trying to exhaust my mum's ISP connection by seeding torrents of tv shows available over the air. I am the anger.
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 00:56:22; asciilifeform: cultivate this reputation.
BingoBoingo: No appologies from there are possible. Fuckers targetted my mum.
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 00:58:04; asciilifeform: possibly the most dangerous animal to be in the lands of usg (and au, as i understand, is a kind of target practice range for usg idiocies) is the fella with just enough to be worth skinning, but three or four zeroes short of mircea_popescu-esque atomic dirigible where he can hit back
decimation: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2015#1058637 < trying to practice ☝︎
ben_vulpes: per earlier thread, now is the time to lay in magnetic drives, chips and ram.
ben_vulpes: hm no then my memory's flawed
assbot: Watch A Pair Of Tank-Mounted Fighter Jet Engines Extinguish An Oil Fire ... ( http://bit.ly/1xDZQgc )
BingoBoingo: So noone's going to give a cheer to cheif Joe for making it from rehab to a nursing home?
trinque: BingoBoingo: yeh that's how this will be
BingoBoingo: trinque: The way punkbot did had no real commands.
trinque: which... not the behavior in the manual ☟︎☟︎
trinque: I'm having to mention it though to get it to pay attention to commands
trinque: sees whether it's a key or message, does the right thing
trinque: BingoBoingo: the way it currently is, it just eats whatever URL
BingoBoingo: trinque: Just copy the punkbot interface
trinque: one more try and I'll stop shitposting
trinque: yet direct_only=False in the command
trinque: ben_vulpes: note the two deedbots which were necessary to make it listen
BingoBoingo impressed he can maintain this anger while his democratocally elected mayor struggles to breathe http://www.bnd.com/2015/03/18/3718138/highland-mayor-takes-big-step.html
assbot: ntp.org: Home of the Network Time Protocol ... ( http://bit.ly/1LyjtSw )
decimation: amusingly the http://www.ntp.org/ page has a box begging people to block non-assigned ips from ingressing or egressing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But since they have already earned the shitlist.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This is only exceptional in the sense that there are potentially nameable enemies who might b attribule
ben_vulpes: decimation: aws drops those packets iirc
BingoBoingo so pissed I might have to wander till I find a coyote just to have a fair fight as I kick its teeth out.
decimation: ben_vulpes: as I recall the stuff hosted on aws didn't have any problems with mr. ddos
asciilifeform may be hearing of a fella drinking on account of a crapware incident for the first time
BingoBoingo plans on setting up mum and edge router lite, but in the interim... Imma drink so much vodka
trinque goes to poke the tenyks
trinque: weird, in pm that works.
BingoBoingo: So cheap black box with pf stops all undesirable traffic. Still some poor ass brown fucks (likely) managed to land malware on my mum's computer which would make it a mega seed node for shows available freely on OTa networks.
ben_vulpes: trinque: get that thing on your account and get it upped permanently, would you?
ben_vulpes: jurov linked a thing, some 50 us/mo iirc for dedis
decimation: doesn't need to be trusted if nothing secret is on it
ben_vulpes: for all the hate it gets around here, aws is pretty solid
asciilifeform: 'So the thing that interests me the most is that this doesn't seem to have been weaponized by anyone. I'd think, given how much disparity there is between modern military units and insurgent groups and how much of that relies on air superiority, that we'd be hearing regularly about lasers being used to blind combat air pilots...' << from comments
ben_vulpes: shit goes goes down and comes up more frequently than an expert cocksucker.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Torrent seed node sc4m
decimation: as I recall, folks here have had good luck with 'vultr' too
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lemme guess, the old classic 'fake av' sc4m
brendafdez: aws was the best alternative?
decimation: ben_vulpes: sigh, got bitcoind built on aws, now I got to buy more storage space :(
BingoBoingo still leans towards .smash as a remedy
BingoBoingo recognizeds /me very drunk and traveling to India to /smash would be a challenge
BingoBoingo dealing with family member brought to malware in an impersonal way, but I want to take this transgression very personally
ben_vulpes: "yeah i'll take the whole thing sink luser and hooker"
ben_vulpes: otherwise this is a new one for me
ben_vulpes: <jurov> my opinions were formed by several friends eating disinfo that was later traced back to RT, with sink and hooker << hook line and sinker perhaps the phrase?
decimation: from this point of view, the tinker's duty is to be the Praetorian guard for the state
assbot: Bronx man confesses to laser pointer incident after cops arrest his housemate | Ars Technica ... ( http://bit.ly/1xlocRF )
decimation: and the similarity with computers
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, note how aircraft went from tinkering in the barn to 'instruments of power'
asciilifeform: but soon it was clear even to imbeciles that flying was an aristocrat's (or totalitarian thug enforcer's...) game. ☟︎
asciilifeform: decimation: was not always so. think of the 'barnstormers' of the '30s, the '50s delusions of 'every man and his little flying coffin', etc
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah there's some truth to that, wrt aircraft in general too
BingoBoingo: The Hind started that
asciilifeform: the folks on the ground 'must know their place', is the message.
asciilifeform: the helicopter is the symbol of statal power against the peon schmuck ☟︎
asciilifeform: incidentally, the 'laser terrorism' thing is, as always, smoke which is never without fire:
asciilifeform: not merely this, but driven to be spent entirely by microshit's idiot 'operating system pr0gr3ss'
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I think there's some truth to that - ultimately the vast majority of computer-purchasing money is 'dumb money'
asciilifeform: decimation: what's 'it' << the difference in cpu available to luser today vs. '92
decimation: whether 10nm is the stopping point or not, I agree that this is the ultimate end. exponentially increasing fab costs cannot abide forever
mircea_popescu: which was a great run, a point that'll be made obvious by the anger of all the hanger-ons once itstops
mircea_popescu: point being, the trillions needed for 10nm and beyond aren't forthcoming and that's the end of this run.
decimation: asciilifeform: what's 'it'? the pursuit of small features?
asciilifeform: while being one of the really not so many people who found it properly useful, i will still say that ultimately it was a side effect of a mega-scam
decimation: there's little doubt that man's ability to create tiny features on silicon has far outpaced his ability to do something useful with them
asciilifeform: we have essentially that on pogo
decimation: asciilifeform: yes, but not in terms of raw flops, when massaged properly
asciilifeform: not so far-fetched to picture it on pent1
mircea_popescu: heh. think about bitcoin on pc xt
asciilifeform: virtually all computer users got vastly more actual 'bang for buck' in 1992 than today
mircea_popescu: there's that big bitch in there. ~economically~. the cost for 10nm is alreadyu not covered by the density benefits
asciilifeform: the folks who are supposed to be buying new computer on microshit's say-so are short a benjie or two for rent this month
decimation: well, it certainly seems that we are at the edge of what silicon can yield
asciilifeform: without fat - nothing to power the engine
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And then you find old folks on the family tree to which you owe defference
asciilifeform: without which the idiot crud won't boot
mircea_popescu: decimation look at it this way : 14nm was demonstrated in memories cca 2005, intel shipped it in 2015.
asciilifeform: but the blow their fat disposable income on resulting new computer
asciilifeform: then they can go off to the shops and buy 'windows 95' because the cardboard waving hand says to (actual thing, saw alive, in '95)
asciilifeform: which is to say, it is not enough to con chumps, they must also have fat to be rendered for
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, BingoBoingo: the basic mechanics here: wintel racket was powered, like many other similar idiocies, by the american 'fat'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> decimation from what i recall reading on teh topic, the 14nm process was a total debacle and 10nm is a theory only thing << This
mircea_popescu: decimation from what i recall reading on teh topic, the 14nm process was a total debacle and 10nm is a theory only thing.
assbot: Bronx man confesses to laser pointer incident after cops arrest his housemate | Ars Technica ... ( http://bit.ly/1CDcIL2 )
asciilifeform: intel surrendered to chumpification of the most abject kind, sells severely underclocked dies which temporarily 'turbo' up
decimation: sounds like they are considering ascii's iii-v chemistry for 7nm
assbot: Intel forges ahead to 10nm, will move away from silicon at 7nm | Ars Technica ... ( http://bit.ly/1CDc94b )
decimation: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/02/intel-forges-ahead-to-10nm-will-move-away-from-silicon-at-7nm/ < seems like they are still on path for 10 nm
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The price of old RISC beasts already marches upwards
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform right. only failure can be kept from the public knowledge.
asciilifeform: not for desktops of idiot tetris-playing dilberts, no
