mod6: we're interested to see if anyone running: v0.5.3 + patches {1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, & 6 (db_config) } runs into the same issues.
mod6: we're still testing this out... but i/we haven't encoutered anything like this until just this past 72 hours:
mod6: one sec, i have a matrix for what we've tried.
mod6: in a wide variety of ways, and it's not consistant, we've been having issues getting past the last checkpoint block (more often than not): 168,000
asciilifeform: mod6: trouble << do tell
mod6: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-February/000043.html << asciilifeform, thanks for this. this goes along with some of the trouble we've been seeing over the last 72 hours.
asciilifeform: the blockchain is the bulk of the footprint, quite obviously
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it occurs that at 4mb, nodes can be run as virii by now without problems
asciilifeform: jurov: absolutely no reason to build it into bitcoind, ever
mircea_popescu: jurov not a crime. but you could also just 192.0.0.1 and typeadmin admin
jurov: if i do, then i'll add upnp anyway. just fyi.
mircea_popescu: but then again it works out : we're not systemd devs.
asciilifeform: i don't know any serious computer user who does not have a multitude of spinning disks at all times.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, much easier to destroy.
jurov: people who know how to open ports either do have a node or can't be arsed to even for free
mircea_popescu: the reports of mark twain's rooting seem grossly exaggerated.
jurov: jus' saying i don't have anyone to give pogostick to.
asciilifeform: root an ubuntu luser idli g herr << lol, time for honeypots
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in retrospect, the efforts of those shitgremlins to shoehorn xml into things are so lulzy.
jurov: i won't contend that
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the only way to develop a new idea was to be born rich << or... take it. chingis khan style.
trinque: handles IPs and whatnot on the virtual networks
mircea_popescu: jurov that may be a function of social circle!
trinque: mircea_popescu: it's part of the awful libvirt wad
jurov: i have never seen anyone except myself opening ports the normal way
assbot: man I'm glad the systemd devs all have SSDs. http://t.co/92rGdSitBF
asciilifeform: jurov: if they're plugged into home routers then we need upnp then << why????!? every home router ever made, even utter garbage, lets user open ports the normal way
trinque: way different than "rooted"
trinque: mats: this was the guy's issue?
mircea_popescu: that's quite right : nobody ovulating today will get as far as sara mccune.
mircea_popescu: lectuals had, and that they never will. They won’t ever have good jobs. They do have Twitter. But that’s nearly all that they do have or are likely to have any time soon."
mircea_popescu: "This is in turn leading to an (unsustainable) proliferation of cultural commentary, some of it unreadable, but much of it sharp and interesting. Much of this commentary is understandably driven by spleen. Impoverished freelancers and adjunct intellectuals, scraping out a living from commuter teaching and dead end jobs, are angry when they look at the comfortable positions that a previous generation of humanities intel
mircea_popescu: i tell you, within twenty years if that as much as having been interested in the left will be a hanging offense.
mircea_popescu: "The turn of the cultural left to Twitter is a reflection of its weakness on university campuses, not its strength. Today’s intra-left fights over cultural identity are not the birth pangs of a dangerous new radical left elite of cultural enforcers. They’re the product of anger and economic powerlessness, the unanticipated result of the hollowing out of humanities on university campuses, and the parlous state of in
trinque: could be something along those lines
trinque: I tend to assume things like znc are riddled with holes
trinque: not to my knowledge
assbot: Haha. "Please use the shared hairdryers only for the hair on your head. Thank you for your cooperation." http://t.co/49FIEB4iKo
mats: guy went to sleep before i got more details, im going to put up a vulnerable box later and see what happens
mats: unconfirmed report of someone trying to root an ubuntu luser idli g herr
mircea_popescu: cases like spolski's are the exception.
mircea_popescu: it's not common to allow founders control in the financed vehicle, principally because founders usually fuck it up.
trinque: I told him to fuck off
trinque: pete_dushenski: the vc fairy wanted 67% of my business
mircea_popescu: similarly, in the old days when you were born a maid, you were going to be a maid even if you were really pretty.
pete_dushenski: and 11 year olds can give ted talks on how to fix the world
thestringpuller: trinque hah; you are going to treat your robots like people?
pete_dushenski: then it really only takes a few minutes
pete_dushenski: unless the vc fairy sprinkles some dust on you while you're sleeping
trinque: today as back then, you can bootstrap yourself so long as you're prepared to lay brick by hand for a half decade
pete_dushenski: and this is a good thing!
pete_dushenski: I think that in the old days where the financial system was not too developed, the only way to develop a new idea was to be born rich, to have resources and use them. Today and increasingly so to the extent the financial system works well, you can start a company, apply an idea, or even run large companies even if you are not born rich and don't have a lot of money.

mircea_popescu: i doubt someone who has the werewithal to get the pogo going needs me to unpnp him
jurov: and it was the first thing excised... it will ran as standalone daemon, i guess
jurov: btw, are the pogosticks supposed to accept outside connections? if they're plugged into home routers then we need upnp then
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu thanks for the translations :D
scoopbot: New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/bitbet-sbbet-january-2015-statement/
pete_dushenski: i wonder what other peoples/nationalities this heuristic might apply to...
mircea_popescu: lemme tell you a joke.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu then a dayjob keeper is me!
pete_dushenski: It's quite obvious, for instance, that the chairwhite of the League of Black Voters is going to be a black, not a white. Nobody need think twice about it
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform that hofstadter fellow has a decent little sense of humour
mircea_popescu: hey davout check it out, germanz think teh frenchies are einen.
mircea_popescu: yeah, website polls is how moot ended up time man of the century
pete_dushenski: lulzy 13-5 results thus far in favour of block size, including my vote for nein!
pete_dushenski: the article has a poll at the bottom
pete_dushenski: and for the german-speakers, this article just sent me a trackback: http://bitcoinblog.de/2015/02/02/der-kommende-blockchain-burgerkrieg/
asciilifeform: GEB is really a book for intelligent children, or perhaps for adults who are n00bs to the whole thinking business. it's a fun, not serious, sort of book.
pete_dushenski: jooz and stereotypes: i cleaned up the log quotes and took another hack at the romanian
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu thanks for the notes on that last article
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: doug h is sui generis. can't really place him in a genre. he wrote a number of tomes for folks who like mathematics (in particular, logic and theory of computation), languages, translation. he is also a fairly good translator of ru->eng, even rhyme-preserving pushkin. blew my mind.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it'll be hard to do away with master seeing how that's what i am. best do away with husband, replace with cuckold ?
asciilifeform: PeterL: that was one of the first engineering terms to get liberast attention, actually
PeterL: actually, they should remove all references to "master", because it makes us thing about slavery, so bad, mkay?
asciilifeform: he actually caught a good bit of shit for this number
mircea_popescu: someting awful. this old comedy board that for a while was the core of radical libertardism in the us.
PeterL: "inform the master he or she can" << really, it should be "inform the master or mistress he or she can", right?
asciilifeform: whoever is doing is - brilliant 'shit test' - will the idiots merge? turns out, yes! they will.
mircea_popescu: if i find out there's some fucktarded 50something collegiate "professor" setting up the idiot chickies in her class to doing this...
asciilifeform: 'bikinibabe' ?! trololol.
asciilifeform: on the other hand - every cellular isp in usa (that i've tried) blocks -all- incoming connections
mircea_popescu: stop reading that thing you'll give yourself earbleeds.
asciilifeform: also i am unaware of any extant isp outside of iran blocking an -outgoing- port other than 25
asciilifeform: it would be not entirely uninteresting, to learn his host flea.
mircea_popescu: you get the picture.
mircea_popescu: "Cabletica, ICE, Kolbi, Claro, Moviestar all need to be called and asked to open this port." << at least the last two are cheap mobile providers in argentina.
asciilifeform: i do happen to know something about those. usually they exist as a little flea on the back of a larger flea, sometimes three or four fleas in a circuit
mircea_popescu: not exactly unconnected, for sure, but never invited to a fundraiser either, unless it's for the state capitol and they couldn't fill the seats.
mircea_popescu: basically they're one of the what, 100k or so small tech-ish corps that live off the usg dole.
mircea_popescu: http://www.fdvt.com/gsa-general-services-administration.htm there, filings.
asciilifeform: eh, sure. small business that does no-one-knows-what, for usg only
mircea_popescu: it's a smallish business, think in terms of roger ver's used laptops shop
asciilifeform: one way or the other
mircea_popescu: Fleetwood Digital Video Technology Corp is not like... haliburton or something.
asciilifeform: theoretically - if registrar won't pull, we can regard the shilling as a proven fact
mircea_popescu: why does it have to be fraudulently ?
asciilifeform: if he stuffed the 'fvdt' contact in his own domain reg fraudulently, what's it take to get the registration judged & pulled ?
asciilifeform: this fella clearly read 'spam like a pro in twenty-one hours' !
asciilifeform: why is it in the satoshiroundtable.org 'whois' then ?
