nubbins`: "we know it won't solve the problem, but a huge FUCK YOU to our customers will discourage competitors from messing with us again"
mats: " we're aware that this won't stop Chinese to copy our product, but this step gives a sign that we're not happy with it. This is more about a moral urge to their customers."
assbot: Theophilus London - Tribe (NGHTMRE Remix) by NGHTMRE - Hear the world’s sounds ... ( http://bit.ly/1uEIDSB )

davout: fluffypony: medium-kek, the previous one you posted was top-kek tho
phillipsjk: Google,s fibre offering annoys me for several reasons. 1. No servers. 2. They request detail GIS images from municipalities, but only give back "as build" diagrams in PDF format for "proprietary reasons"

phillipsjk: it was not unuseable or anything. Logging into the router from my Pentium-II (using X forwarding) was *way* more painful.

phillipsjk: The captures are 5.0GB each. Just a little too large to fit on a DVD:P
phillipsjk: The second time (when I reconnected my router after the attack dropped to ~12kiB/s) the ICMP packets were making up about 0.9% of the packets.
phillipsjk: It is a UDP fragment flood lasting about 30 minutes. about 0.3% of the packets were ICMP messages. Not sure if they are looking for "no route to host" from an intermediate router or what.
nubbins`: asciilifeform is that just a basic FTDI adapter you've got hooked up to it? i'll take those pinouts if you've got a !search query handy
phillipsjk: OK, I got more data on the DDOS

asciilifeform eats considerably more food than gizmo

asciilifeform: according to that pile of shit on cryptome, the 'bugs' were mainly omissions of component values in an analogue circuit.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to "proper" orphans ?
mircea_popescu: maybne the proper term is "parentless"
asciilifeform: again, reminder for readers, these are -not- orphan blocks in the sense of 'orphaned transactions' and dead tree branches
mircea_popescu: mike_c: "Since 0.9.0 the number of orphan blocks that is stored has been restricted, so this immediate issue should be fixed." << not really fixed in any sense. just, counter-kludged.
mircea_popescu: Rozal: No worries, I'm here to listen and participate. I used to trade assets in the btct days << o boy.

asciilifeform: m the chapter at issue and had a motive to discuss his clandestine work. They argued that the book — which suggested that the secret operation might actually have helped further Iran’s nuclear research — was somewhat inaccurate and that it cast Sterling as a hero and the CIA as hapless.'
asciilifeform: 'The case against Sterling was largely circumstantial — there were no recorded phone conversations or captured e-mail exchanges that show that he leaked classified information to Risen — and that required prosecutors’ to delve deeply into Sterling’s work and the details of Risen’s book. By prosecutors’ account, Sterling was the only potential source who had a relationship with Risen, knew all of the information fro

asciilifeform: as in, put a marble on the floor and it will roll.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there was also a memorable house that wasn't level.
