decimation: yeah in
theory
the internet has all kinds of redundant routing, in practice
there are many chokepoints it would seem
BingoBoingo hasn't had
trouble accessing qntra in quite a while a few hundred miles from geographic center of USia
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm having
this looked into, but i
tell you i dun even know wtf.
decimation: I donno. if
there is some
theoretical anti-ddos filter, it might
try
to limit its action
to certain subnets?
BingoBoingo: At
this rate we might need a router foundation!
decimation: someone might have figured out how
to
trip
the 'anti-ddos rate-limit'
trap
mircea_popescu: and im not even sure
that i can do anything about it other
than write angry letters.
mircea_popescu: decimation
the best i can come up with is
that yes, some weakly router
that is nevertheless for insane unexplainable reason priority route from
the us is constantly fucked up
Adlai was wondering about ;;isup's server, should've !b5ed for
that context
decimation: the server is up, it looks
to me
that
there is at least one route
that is being ddosed/constantly reset
Adlai: curl: (7) Failed
to connect
to localhost port 0: Connection refused
mircea_popescu: phin gage is a little strange. he does
tons of research, some of which is useufl.
cazalla: is
that Bruno Kucinskas all
there in
the head? he reckons patrick murck raped like 30 kids
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck would i see pages on a crashed server anyway.
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck.
the server has been up all along,
the load is like 0.1 or some shit for
the hour.
joecool: responding
to ping for me, nothing else
decimation: I donno, it smells
to me like a server problem
decimation: is
that your picture of an ohio hovel?
assbot:
that entry is wrong, its routed just fine
to ams
assbot: decimation yes its hosted
there
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this is proving impossible
to debug, people not seeing it pls
to pastebin
traceroutes at
the
time you don't see it.
decimation: interestingly I'm getting pings
through, very very slowly
mircea_popescu: decimation: my router bounces from
telia
to an isp in pheomix called "cwie llc" <<<
this sounds like a route hijack
then. qntra is in amsterdam.
Adlai: right, but
then you can look at properties of
the graph's flow
to draw wildly overzealous conclusions about
the attentiveness and lazyness of real live humans
mircea_popescu: Adlai: now
that's an interesting hypothesis
to
test: a bot lurks and
tracks "shortest path"
to each past message,
then records when i link it as opposed
to somebody else links it
to me <<< actually a reconstruction of
the ba logs where lines are nodes and
they're given pr as per original google mechanism may be
the first step
towards stemming
this whole bundle.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that flgiuht path
thing is not nearly as indicative as it may seem
to
the casual observer.
The20YearIRCloud: That first kitchen was
the first complete rehab we did on a kitchen, every single
thing
there is brand new.
The20YearIRCloud: I know I joke about owning slum houses, but
they're all actually very nice. I underprice our rentals by maybe 5%-10% under normal market prices, and keep em in slightly better shape.
decimation: was
that
the amish fellows who cleaned it up?
The20YearIRCloud: It would have been a medium/high level person's house. It's near downtown and is only a few houses away from a speakeasy
that was in operation during prohibition. It sold recently (the speakeasy) for around $200k.
decimation: back in
that
time
that would have been a mansion
The20YearIRCloud: Our first one was 2000sf, 5+br , 2ba, attached garage, built in 1880 and it
turned out great
decimation: yeah I guess where you are
there is no water or sewage
decimation: I recall you saying a few months ago
that
they are all really old
The20YearIRCloud: I haven't delt with
trailers yet, I want
to but it's a different deal since you have
to develop
them out (including sewage) which is an EPA deal you can't get around easily.
decimation: I guess you gotta pay for utilities, etc in
that case
decimation: for
the quality of hovel you are buying and fixing, wouldn't it be cheaper
to buy a few empty plots and buy some
trailers or 'tiny homes' or whatever
The20YearIRCloud: of course
the scale of markets is quite different. In
the 4 counties I expect
to be able
to find maybe 200 quality properties a year. In franklin I could find 200 a month easily.
decimation: I imagine property
tax in columbus and
the 'burbs is sky high
too
The20YearIRCloud: So, if I can go into a neighborhood where
they really don't want me
there, and one where
the city bends over backwards
to
try and help me out, i'll go with
the second one
The20YearIRCloud: Well, you can drive 45 minutes outside of a columbus where you can buy land, build a smoke factory and
the county asks for a $5 paperwork fee and literally nothing else
decimation: this as much as anyone 'owns' a house in
the us
The20YearIRCloud: I had a house up
there I was dealing with for someone, and I had roofers up
there doing work. Zoning came by and complained
that we hadn't bought
the $100 permit, so
they forced
the guys off
the roof even
though it was going
to rain soon and wouldn't let
them put
the
tarp up
there
till
there was a permit.
decimation: I've heard
the short north is popular with
the kids around osu
The20YearIRCloud: Downtown was a cesspool,
then
they kicked everyone out and made it so only rich could live
there, alot of
those moved
to
the short north.
Then
they did
the same
thing with
the short north and all
those people moved
to Linden and Hilltop.
The20YearIRCloud: He's got a big claim
to fame because he's good at 'renovating' poor districts, he does it by moving all
the poor people from one neighborhood
to another.
The20YearIRCloud: That wouldn't surprise me much, but
they also have had coleman who is a ultra-liberal for years and years.
decimation: do you
think
that's because
they are in
the union
trade's pockets?
The20YearIRCloud: (Of course, I'd of got a permit in Franklin, but I hate
the idea of it all).
The20YearIRCloud: One of
the counties we're in has virtually no permiting process for home repairs, if I did
the stuff I'm doing
there in Columbus I'd of had 5 figures worth of fines.
The20YearIRCloud: Housewise? No, not a fan of
their zoning & property inspection board. If we grow enough i'm sure i'll HAVE
to go
there, but for now i'd like
to avoid it.
assbot: CHICAGO
TO BE RENAMED “OBAMA CITY” | Weekly World News
The20YearIRCloud: We have a few in
the US, and
they're all celeb rags. We *had* WWN but
they went under
decimation: why don't
they have
tabloids based in say columbus?
The20YearIRCloud: That's a website
though i
think,
the sport is an actual magazine in most places
assbot: Gruber Has Made At Least $5.9 Million For Government Work |
The Daily Caller
decimation: this stuff makes
the daily mail look classy
The20YearIRCloud: I love
their 'articles', locally we used
to have weekly world news, and it went under. However in
the UK for some reason
tabloids are HUGE
there. Along with soap operas
decimation: eh, it could have been. I felt dirty
touching
the
thing, didn't examine it closely
assbot: Sunday Sport (@thesundaysport) |
Twitter
decimation: yeah I guess
that's why people don't immediately
toss in
the rubbish bid
decimation: once when I emerged from
the
Tube in London I was handed one of
those free
tabloids by some bum. I was amazed at
the extremely low quality writing, and pro-welfare ads
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah
that was my point.. just because something could be 'on
the net' doesn't mean it should
decimation: my router bounces from
telia
to an isp in pheomix called "cwie llc"
decimation: someone is messing with routing
tables
Adlai: more
than any bug i've (inadvertently? subliminally coerced into?) introduced
to scalpl, i regret
the
times
that i've manually
tweaked its
trading parameters, and contaminated its performance data with human idiosyncrasies
Adlai: well, it looks like MPCD "failed" (the contract didn't fail,
the shares "just" lost value) due
to investing in what could be called "rockstar investors", who seem
to make a habit of burning out spectacularly,
taking half
the fanbase with
them
thestringpuller: For
the reason MPCD failed, is likely
the reason MPIF is struggling
to find profit centers.
