mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: IS ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET REAL << wasn't there a snopes debunk about this urban legend where someone supposedly asked once if things on the internet are real ?
strp: I don't know anything about you, and I'd assume you wouldn't want to discuss it in a logged forum. It is difficult to have an uknnown as a business partner without sharing anything, don't you think?
thickasthieves: can we talk here?
dub: first you gotta take off joor shoes
strp: Well, I'd assume skype, and we can see if there's a match?
thickasthieves: Yes, strp you are just the man I'm looking for, where do we begin?
strp: thickasthieves, I told you what I'm looking for. You got a recommendation as a level-headed, responsible person, and if you would like to partner with an ambitious, mercurial, head-strong, impulsive, capricious one who has wildly expansive plans, then tell me. If not, it's okay.
thickasthieves: this is what i get for saying i can troll, isnt it
strp: thickasthieves, I understand this but I came in here at your request. This can hardly be called spamming. If you don't like my suggestion, just say so. :)
mircea_popescu: by the way, did you know girls can get strep cunt if you give them head while you have strep throat ?
thickasthieves: asii is much more respected in my book than you
strp: thickasthieves, I think asciilifeform's reaction speaks volumes.
mircea_popescu: oh i thought that's short for strep
thickasthieves: what do you have to hide?
mircea_popescu: does mercurial mean nice tits ?
strp: well, this is a logged channel :)
strp: as I'd written, "I just read somewhere that business partners should have known each other for years. My opinion, is, naaaah."
strp: Just as above. A level-headed responsible business partner to my ambitious, head-strong business ideas that are crazy ambitious, impulsive, capricious, and mercurial.
strp: (to thickasthieves)
asciilifeform: cloudflare 'leak' << 'he ran into my knife, by accident, ten times!'
cazalla: mircea_popescu: cazalla if you put up random stock footage of dressed uruguayan chicks ima kill you << i thought you said copy coindesk?
fluffypony: throw the jew down the well!
rithm: i say burn the witch, if she drowns she wasn't a witch
mircea_popescu: fluffypony that's what it wants you to think
mircea_popescu: are you with the fnac, putting more rote in the routes ?
fluffypony: so my IRC client keeps highlighting the word
mircea_popescu: not saying it's outright impossible or anything, but the story they got is unconvincing at best.
fluffypony: the funny thing is that there's a person in this room called BGP
dub: boring old bgp jacking yeah, using it as an attack would be new to me
mircea_popescu: how in the heavens does this work ?
mircea_popescu: in spite of cf's own controlling servers telling a diff story ?
mircea_popescu: what, and this reroute instapropagated all over ?
dub: well. all their traffic was going somewhere else
mircea_popescu: dub that theory doesn't explain why CF was down.
dub: wording sounds like someone attacked a 3rd party by sending them all cloudflares traffic
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: Lynn is already a female name << cock is already a female thing and yet cocotte is perfectly fine.
mircea_popescu: dub no, they got blown of the net and are claiming it's not because they suck. like you know, tesla explaining that the battery fire was due to a customer setting their car atop a camping gas stove
dub: are they claiming it was a dos?
thickasthieves: yer probly right, i'd be like that guy that takes it too far
mircea_popescu: he's too responsible and too nice.
fluffypony: thickasthieves is too serious to be a troll
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves you can troll now ?!
thickasthieves: ooo can i be a reddit/trilema troll?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony they're notorious for lying, so... what actually happened may be pieced together if/when internexa blogs about it
fluffypony: it's actually pretty hilarious that that can happen
fluffypony: "This downtime was the result of a BGP route leak by Internexa, an ISP in Latin America. Internexa accidentally directed large amounts of traffic destined for CloudFlare data centers around the world to a single data center in Medellín, Colombia. This was the result of Internexa announcing via BGP that their network, instead of ours, handled traffic for CloudFlare. This miscommunication caused a flood of traffic to quickly overwhelm

asciilifeform: re: usb diddling: i had the entire thing working two years ago, with same 'phison', likewise cribbed russian docs. didn't think it was interesting to anyone other than me. ☟︎
dignork: bounce: on the .ru site bunch of firmware_*.rar files, bin files apparently 8051(?), and not crypted, so IDA should be able to read them. *_datasheet*.pdf from the same site might help

Dimsler: if you're silly enough to trust u3 security
rithm: i've been working on it today dignork

teward: punkman: i'm surprised github lets that code exist... if it IS, after all, malicious...

thickasthieves: it is possible they are skimming very little though, to attract volume
thickasthieves: but also buy at that price
thickasthieves: well they seem to sell coins at an obvious premium
mike_c: no fees, just don't ask about the exchange rate.
thickasthieves: i'm betting it wont, and that if it does, there will be other abnormal bank/cc fees
thickasthieves: see if i can get it to behave no-fee
thickasthieves: they claim no fees, so i'm going to try and do a max vol buy and sell
thickasthieves: only to test
thickasthieves: i was only declaring i like that they are munching on Coinbase's lunch

thickasthieves: the button to buy bitcoin says "deposit"
thickasthieves: lol, Circle's login suggests what email you might be trying to enter

ristopietila: and hello too, kakobrekla
ristopietila: kakobrekla: no gpg key for the moment. Later on. The immediate goal will be for him to access invite-only #monero-mew
kakobrekla: well this could be fun
ristopietila: Anyway, hi everyone, especially mircea_popescu . I'm sorry I was not able to talk here for some time. That should change in the following weeks
kakobrekla: are you going to give him gpg private key too?
ristopietila: kakobrekla: Hi This is not ristopietila , this is davidlatapie setting up an IRC account for Risto :)
thickasthieves: no, he likes phone, but is easily reachable by email, and skyoe i think
kakobrekla: the ip was changed but the subdomain is same and this apparently bothers their setup
thickasthieves: i can connect you with the panama dude if you care
