Framedragger: man i'll write an mp markov bot one of those days for sure. will probably sneak it into irc bot till it gets banned, too; see how long before people realise it's a bot
☟︎ Framedragger: mircea_popescu: understand and agree. it's worth to have it be pointed out in the comments if only so that someone doesn't start assuming that the spec implicitly provides guarantees of uniqueness etc. and good to have a picture of the madness and lack of guarantee anyway. but i guess you're right
Framedragger: "rdtsc is not guaranteed to be available on every CPU, or to run at a constant rate, *or be consistent between different cores.*" (emphasis mine). `get_cycles()` is recommended, but from cursory look it seems that on some architectures it uses rdtsc internally? madness.
☟︎☟︎ Framedragger: (linux appears to require `rdtsc` to be able to return something akin to tick count. asciilifeform maybe knows if this is a doomed affair.)
Framedragger: some dude got the same values from multiple calls to microtime but that was in php and could have been php caching things, because, php
Framedragger: remains to be seen if those are actually accurate. i recall wanting to obtain ns-level timing in a small no-bullshit C program, wasn't able to, reliably. could've been my failure, tho. really wouldn't trust those values
Framedragger: most systems do not provide that level of info to userland at all afaik
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re archiving, right! will update laters.
Framedragger: aha. in which case i'll add a thing to scriba and PeterL can do it too and then there'll be some redundancy there, too. sounds good to me
Framedragger: PeterL wrote a url scooper, maybe he wants to do the url post to archive.is part as it'd be very trivial anyway?
☟︎ Framedragger: mkay worx. @all lemme know if output makes sense. /msg scriba help or !$ help
Framedragger: heh possibru! and in other news scriba complies with the mighty bot spec (restarting)
Framedragger: oh and he claimed to be a cat. skruffy the cat, he was. i miss him
Framedragger: why is Vexual banned -
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-16#1522329 - why no bard. you know tor irc channels used to have this skruffy character who connected from some small shanty town in deep russia and spoke broken english. thing is, he found and reported on a ton of deeper bugs, i mean like delicate race conditions that don't normally appear and shit. he claimed to have used win98 and complained all the time that tor broke on win98
☝︎☟︎ Framedragger: (in truth, can't compare to *actually great* moving long shots etc, not in the same league at all, admittedly)
Framedragger: ..and now the relevant stuff is in searchable logs! YOU'RE WELCOME no but, sorry for spam
Framedragger: ftr, the relevant capabilities in linux seem to be CAP_NET_RAW and CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
Framedragger: [looks good, gun read laters. meatspace stuff, ttyl]
Framedragger: imho one should not start prototyping gossipd on tcp due to the whole stateful nature of tcp. it would make things *appear* to be so much easier - implicit packet ordering and stream control, etc. - and when things eventually need changed it's gonna suck00r bigtime
Framedragger: asciilifeform: right. which is not a super strange thing to require anyway imho; this may be required when IP is dissected for gossipd purposes, anyway. (sure, ideally the whole thing should be (eventually) ditched.
Framedragger: filtering udp, seriously. so no dns over udp ("dns must die" - well, i guess, fair...)
Framedragger: (heh nice nod to uk nuclear submarine policy asciilifeform)
Framedragger: microhabs are like a chip with cell, mass in grams
Framedragger: asciilifeform: a month >> "stationkeeping time", so there's that. and they can be super cheap. and mass-produced. a HAB army anyone?
Framedragger: i think you may be disappoint at the amount of stationkeeping time you can do on quadcopter or w/e, even with a large solar cell which then surely will render a larger radar profile; but maybe i'm mistaken - interesting
Framedragger: there exist very small HABs with basically just a transmitter/repeater and super small solar cell, fwiw
Framedragger: cool stuff. same with films, vinyls etc as i understand it
Framedragger: ah yeah, the "terabytes of USB keys in truck" data rate
Framedragger: yawell, don't forget, routing is not a trivial problem. this is only the very beginning, i think. an occasion nonetheless though, surely!
Framedragger: indeed, indeed. hence an itch to try things over radio whilst reading those comments there
Framedragger: entirely unrelated: wouldn't it be somethin' to test out some gossipd ideas over *actual* cheap long wave or whatever wave radio devices between these here people?
Framedragger: wouldn't exactly object to reading that. girls sometimes are not in the know, either, which is pffft.
Framedragger may have been hinted at this very night. the laziness is sometimes frustratin'!
Framedragger: (phenomenological clarity notwithstanding, it's not super clear. word may come from old english butere (wiktionary), but that's only one explanation. no/few cited sources it seems)
Framedragger: .onion forums (they still exist, yes) deliberately exclude
http referrer header fwiw
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: gotcha. i felt shy because all these other smart people don't comment on the article, damn their restraint
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: but you don't think there may be a problem with flood of messages in the network across all "channels" / topics? it'd be neat if there was a way for a node to specify that it's only interested in things (specified by prefix, as in your example) under #trilema
