decimation: apparently docsis 3.1 uses 2048-bit rsa for
the device, 4096 for
the root ca
decimation: supposedly
traffic on
the wire is encrypted
decimation: I wonder if anyone has attempted
to hack around with docsis at
the physical layer
decimation: re: hedge funds & banks manipulating pr << one wonders if
they are
trying
to jawbone bitcoin down in order
to buy in, or kill?
mircea_popescu: i mean, obviously, an idiot will exist for whatever idiocy. pretending
that "transsexuals are hot now" is just
trannie wet dreamin'.
decimation: so are
there actually isps
that filter port 8333 or was
that just made up bullshit?
mircea_popescu: all
the people who act all shocked when gavin & co can't get enough credit
to write a hello world in basic fail
to recognize about
two years of history
trying
to gently nudge,
then educate,
then eventually beat
the idiots into some sort of shape
mircea_popescu: always handwaved away by
teh power rangers, but hey, you don't end up at
the bottom of my shitlist by being responsive and responsible.
mod6: well, but also, i like i was saying, it's inconsistant. because
TomServo has checkpoints included and he got
through
the gauntlet, and I did as well lastweek before
the version patch.
danielpbarron: i'm just running
that one while i figure
the compile out
punkman: just sent a patch
to
the list, wonder if it'll go
through
mod6: yeah, i wanna re-iterate here, all of
the wedging issues ben and I had were /with/ checkpoints included. if we apply
the rm_checkpoints patch, no longer a problem.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so how doers
this work, email
to address, gz in attachment, clearsigned
text as email body ?
mod6: we must get
this patched RI repeatable (and it was before a few days ago) before we can cut release.
mod6: but danielpbarron: good
to know
tho.
thx.
mod6: yeah,
totally different beast
mod6: is it
the portotronic?
mircea_popescu: btw, since you were asking ( a while ago) : found
the oldest src set, monday may 21st 2012
mod6: i.e.
TomServo having
total success, and ben & I having weding problems.
mod6: hmm, but yeah, really /was/ weird
that it was inconsistant.
mircea_popescu: and yeah pretty sure we're not
the onlyones. not by a longmargin.
mod6: yeah, well, still is
the plan i should say :)
mod6: or, at least, we'll start with
that.
mod6: yeah.
that's
the new plan. all magic numbers in a config file.
mod6: i've got mutiple good v0.5.3 chains saved, but ... just was regression
testing
to ensure full sync with
the v0.5.3.1 patch before release sign & cut
mod6: I wasn't fully sure
that it wasn't our build script or something wonky screwing it up... but a hand-build showed
the same result.
mod6: We wanted
to collect as much data as possible before we let other know in #b-a. Hence
the delay until now.
mod6: but
then i applied
the rm_checkpoints patch and
then it continued on np.
mod6: one
time i got wedged at like 27,5XX !?
mod6: got 100k blocks
to go until i probably re-wedge @ 168k
mod6: had a
tinfoil hat on and everything heheh
mod6: will have a fresh one in an hour or
two
mod6: asciilifeform:
there is a snippit in
the matrix one. not sure if I have a full one still.
mod6: so if anyone else sees any wedging on a checkpoint block like
the following, let me know right away, pm me if required:
http://dpaste.com/1N3NPT9 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if memory serves
there'sa cutoff
that severs unproductive connections after an hour.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: not once have i seen
the wedge at 168000 << us either, until 72 hours ago
mircea_popescu apologizes for all
the spam in
the more important discussion.
mircea_popescu: and somehow
this gets conflated with marital status ? who
the hell cares if
the woman's "married" whatever
that even means.
mircea_popescu: such a dumb premise
tho. "i will write very bad prose, which will prove
to you
that sensible is shocking!!!1"
mircea_popescu: but i'm not particularly interested
to discuss anyone outside of
their gender.
mircea_popescu: well here's
the
thing : i don't happen
to give a shit about
the guy's color
mircea_popescu: he seems
to be proposing
the notion
that saying she when i mean a cuntbearer is about as bad as inventing a special ble pronoun
to denote a guy's color
mircea_popescu: not in
the way white men and black men are superficially different
mircea_popescu: and yes, women and men are structurally different, and will never be
the same.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing of depth in
there, it;s just
the usual libertard
tedium.
mircea_popescu: guess I cannot
truly believe
that anyone would see
this piece
that way.
To misperceive it
this way would be like calling someone a vicious racist for
telling other people "The word 'nigger' is extremely offensive." If allusions
to racism, especially for
the purpose of satirizing racism and its cousins, are confused with racism itself,
then I
think it is
time
to stop writing."
mircea_popescu: ith
this piece, despite-but also because of-its shock value. I
think it makes its point better
than any factual article could. As a friend of mine said, "It makes you so uncomfortable
that you can't ignore it." I admit
that rereading it makes even me,
the author, uncomfortable! Numerous friends have warned me
that in publishing
this piece I am
taking a serious risk of earning myself a reputation as a
terrible racist. I
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but looky : "Perhaps
this piece shocks you. It is meant
to.
The entire point of it is
to use something
that we find shocking as leverage
to illustrate
the fact
that something
that we usually close our eyes
to is also very shocking.
The most effective way I know
to do so is
to develop an extended analogy with something known as shocking and reprehensible. Racism is
that
thing, in
this case. I am happy w
mod6: so, like we were saying, its not consistant. and perhaps we need
to point directly at v0.5.3 nodes... not sure.
PeterL: what do
the checkpoints do?
mod6: and
TomServo was able
to run with
the following config and just achieved full sync: v0.5.3 + {1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7}
mod6: but, its weird, because a week ago i ran a full sync of: v0.5.3 + {1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, 6} and sync'd just fine, as you can see in
the matrix notes (was able
to send/receive here:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FSA9gxs8) mod6: we also note
that if you do remove checkpoints, obv,
this is no longer a problem.
mircea_popescu: A Person Paper on Purity in Language << i don't grok wtf
this is supposed
to be.
mod6: also, v0.5.3. + patches {1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7} (which includes
the version update)
