ben_vulpes: and don't put
the key anywhere near
that bitcoind
ben_vulpes: use bitcoin-rpc calls
to watch for incoming blocks, scrape for
txns
to your addr
ben_vulpes: don't depend on an external api
to monitor
the blockchain
PinkPosixPXE: yea,
these were some of
the
things I was curious about
ben_vulpes: there are clever
things you could do with hashing
the order and using
that as a private key for receipts or something like
that...
ben_vulpes: what you *don't* want
to do is send each
txn
to seperate addrs.
ben_vulpes: totally orthogonal
to
the accepting of bitcoin
PinkPosixPXE: ok,
that makes sense.. so basically I can keep
the bitcoin price in flux with what
the current price is
ben_vulpes: there's some bookkeeping
to be done in
terms of counters in
the itty bitty satoshis,
to avoid dup
transaction amounts
ben_vulpes: use a btcd
to watch incoming blocks for confirmations
ben_vulpes: PinkPosixPXE:
the simplest and most robust approach is going
to be
to quote specific prices and have
that exact qty remitted
to an addr of your control
PinkPosixPXE: I will probably have a recurring
tool
that converst a portion of it
to fiat
ben_vulpes: are you planning
to convert directly
to fiat?
ben_vulpes: good
thing you've got your own equalizer
then huh
PinkPosixPXE: he said he was going
to force me
to marry him one day
PinkPosixPXE: yea, after I wrote
the vps migrate script for him
today
kakobrekla: see what i
told you, wife material right
there.
PinkPosixPXE: I can see where I can put
together a much better product
PinkPosixPXE: and get
the migrations streamlined
to
the new host
ben_vulpes: if you can afford
to denominate in btc...
PinkPosixPXE: now
that I've helped run, and in some ways rescue
this vps provider
ben_vulpes: PinkPosixPXE: you launch a VPS service,
take BTC (don't even denominate in BTC), and you've got custom right here.
PinkPosixPXE: I will probably eventually buy a dedi
that's a bit better
than
the our new one
PinkPosixPXE: and made a migration script for us
to migrate
to
the new node, helped him pick it out
PinkPosixPXE: I have 3 vps' at a very large (Free) discount with
this provider
PinkPosixPXE: and
this isn't exactly how I'd setup vps hosting
PinkPosixPXE: but it saved our butts quite a bit over
the last few weeks
PinkPosixPXE: and before long
the addresses come back up when
the attack dies down
PinkPosixPXE: this way people can still get on
their nodes, and are just informed
that we've removed a few ipv6 addresses
that were being attacked.. instead of
their node being suspended and shut off, and
they are
then freaking out
PinkPosixPXE: so
that can sometimes be ineffective long
term
mircea_popescu: "oh, i see you're
trying
to connect
to a vps
that a) you've not connected before and b) is being attacked ? come back next week."
PinkPosixPXE: the attacks are all .cap'd and
then
the ip's are all reported
to ovh
to be added
to ddos mitigation
mircea_popescu: PinkPosixPXE how about write
the script so
that you keep
track of foreign hosts, and once packet limit is reached for a vps all foreign hosts
that aren't on
the list of hosts it connected in
the past 24 hours get banned across
the entire network ?
PinkPosixPXE: sorry, been migrating and snapshotting containers
to
this new server all day
PinkPosixPXE: it's a better solution for customers
than 'container susspended again'
PinkPosixPXE: this ensure
the vps won't be suspended, and just removes
the
target ipv6 ips
ben_vulpes: PinkPosixPXE: is
this for outbound ddossing?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i was first! as
they say, some people are so far behind
the race
that
they actually believe
they are leading :P
PinkPosixPXE: well when
the packet limit is breached, usually
the vps will be suspended
PinkPosixPXE: I'm going
to update it
to set a
timer
to re enable
them after a certain period of
time and do some updates
to it, but it's been keeping
things up for
the last few weeks
mircea_popescu: cazalla yeah i see. qntra is so successful i got lost among
the articles :)
PinkPosixPXE: but ipv6 is more difficult, so
this does a count on
the packets, and if it exceeds
the limit, it finds
the ipv6 address, and vps in question, and
then disables
those addresses on
the vps so
they can't be
targetted
PinkPosixPXE: oh man.. I've been helping my friend who runs a VPS provider, gigebox.com, migrate everything
to a new host node
mircea_popescu: i seem
to recall a bunch of
these, and
they're all fucking respectful.
mircea_popescu: just as an idle exercise, imagine how
that article'd have sounded if
the criminals were some usg agency, stealing
the woman's drive and not giving it back.
Phraust: THings just ain't
the same for gangsters.
mircea_popescu: Phraust not much really. same old bs, restated in all seriousness by a new generation of
turnips.
mircea_popescu: "Welcome
to
the new ransomware economy, where hackers have a reputation
to consider." "welcome
to
the post-modern world, where 'criminals' are more reliable
than governments, and certainly more useful."
Phraust: finally got
time
to irc again. what's been crackin'?
Phraust: not bad. livin'
the dream :D
mircea_popescu: "So what can we all do
to protect ourselves? Keep our computers backed up on an independent drive or by using a cloud backup service like Carbonite,
take
those software update and “patch” alerts seriously"
mircea_popescu: and it shits on his useless applepad or whatever
the fuck it is.
mircea_popescu: decimation: my only problem is
that it seems somewhat dangerous << from what i hear it's actually safer
than flying planes.
mircea_popescu: decimation: such a law is obviously intended
to protect criminals (politicians, bureaucrats) <<< or young women having casual sex.
mircea_popescu: there is no such
thing as "plagiarism" anymore
than
there's burning bushes or actual sides of christmeat.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem: 'plagiarism' may be a 'sin of
the flesh', but plagiarists exist just
the same as 'wankers' exist. << not what i meant. what i meant was
the construct's nonsense.
Apocalyptic: you're probably looking at
the first bytes of
the fingerprint, not his wordcount heh
mircea_popescu: wow check out mike_c dominate
the qntra wordcounts in dec.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: l1's
the lordship list?
ben_vulpes: is
there a pompous name for
the l2 list?
the dukes?
mircea_popescu: the
thing where i put it in a pastedbin dun work, im sick of looking up
the url for
the deedbot one.
mircea_popescu: yeah. i guess
this calls for a whole new category on
trilema.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, since we're on it : anyone wish
to write a proper ircd ?
