mircea_popescu: ^ it's strictly impossible for
the problem asciilifeform
to be involved, seeing how i actually do handshake.
mircea_popescu: * Connected
to ossasepia.com (161.0.121.198) port 80 (#0)
lobbes: I can also confirm I have not
touched my /etc/conf.d
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-09-11 09:31 diana_coman: good morning; I can't seem
to be able
to connect
to my rockchip anymore:
http (ossasepia.com) gives 403 You don't have permission
to access / on
this server ; ssh refuses connection
too;
there was NO change as far as I know - I haven't
touched it in quite a while and last
time I connected everything worked fine; any idea what might be wrong
there, BingoBoingo ?
mod6: I can't say for mats' or douchebags, but I can attest
that after
they were reset,
that I could log in successfully
to each at least 1
time.
mod6: I had been using my rockchip all
the
time.
mod6: And further, I never
touched my /etc/conf.d/net file either.
mircea_popescu: (for completeness,
the other cause of my distaste is very poor mastery of
the formal aspects of
the craft, like in gor fragment linked or all of literotica or everything david mamet ever wrote. just BAD , especially dialogue, but overall
this impression
that a lame and blind guy's fighting for his life in wordmud)
mod6: As far as my rockchip, it was mistakenly unplugged, and never worked after
that.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-11 14:39 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i
test'em before handing over
to mod6 .
mod6:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-11#1849451 << asciilifeform handed
them over
to me
to
test
they had been reset, and one could login via a
temp password.
This was done
to douchebag's and mats' old rockchips.
They both worked great after reset. I never
touched
the /etc/conf.d/net file.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: thus
therefore, i expect "science fiction"
to be EXACTLY science
that very well could have been, but happens
to isn't ; not conspiracy
theorism.
mircea_popescu: whereas if it's particularly good quality, exposing an ACTUAL connection not before observed for fault of observation,
that story actually becomes outright science.
mircea_popescu: ,
the "story" attempting
the fusing blindly becomes "pulp fiction" in literature, or "conspiracy
theory" in
the common course of storytelling (yes,
that's what people do when
they
talk --
they
tell stories).
mircea_popescu: in short, stories work by fusing portions of reality not currently seen fused ; making out relationships where no relationship ordinarily exists.
that's what a story is, always. but if
the story aims
to connect items
that can not be connected, because
they for some preexisting cause necessarily can't be found in
the same place at
the same
time, or because
they're categorically different kinds of items, or for any other reason
mircea_popescu: but if instead you proceed
to pile on "man-cat-head-intermingler" on
top of
the nonsense world made of people and cats and a chair,
the result is not unlike
the bridge
that jack built : first it was a hovel,
then it got a latrine boolted
to
the side and now somebody put a length of
train
track sorta sideways and calls it "a
tunnel".
mircea_popescu: IF you aim
to write "science-" anything, you must
therefore show finer understanding of
the available categorization
trees
than "oh, people see dragons but cats see rats".

there is major difference between competition in software and competition in (any kind of) hardware. very narrow protein spaces in biofilms.
mircea_popescu: because
the space of possibilities constrains, very much like
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-20#1687609 ; once
the quality of your going is "not people -- but cats" you're stuck writing a whimsical
tale for 9 year old girls. because
there, and
there only, is
the classification so gross as
to go "people... cats..."
☝︎ mircea_popescu: HOWEVER!
the degree and
type and quality of
that going, in or over irrespective,
then sets
the
tone for
the whole piece. necessarily and without possibility of escape.
mircea_popescu: necessarily, in order for literature
to even exist,
there must be a counter
to
this. an exception, a qualifying circumstance, what have you. say it is
that class y doesn't share
the property of class x. whether
this is going over (people, yes, but CATS no) or going in (people, yes, except blonde virgin females with labia minora extending past and outside labia majora) it matters not.
mircea_popescu: so suppose as
the premise
that (all) people hallucinate "dragons" in so-and-so circumstances.
there's nothing wrong with
this whatsoever. all literature requires a premise ;
the premise will be some
thing not commonly seen.
that's how it works,
that's how it's supposed
to work, it's not
the fucking police blotter or an actuarial
table, it's a story. no argument.
mircea_popescu: do me a favour and add #Do not change
this if you're not entirely sure ;
talk in #pizarro
to make sure ; messing up
the routing will cost you your reputation.
mircea_popescu: anywhere a customer'd know ? such as a comment in
the file itself ? such as on sales pagE ?
mircea_popescu: so basically what's
the idea here, "do not edit /etc/conf.d/net without checking with #pizarro" ?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-18 11:42 ascii_lander:
the only sensible policy is
to proclaim, ahead of
time,
that any customer found monkeying with
the lan , will be banished, with no refunds and no recourse;
a111: Logged on 2018-04-18 04:53 ben_vulpes: douchebag: pizarro board has serious reservations about your fucking up our honorsystem ip routing
table and bringing dos/whatever hell down upon our little gated community, can i extract a commitment from you
to not misbehave in my cab?
mircea_popescu is currently
thinking
this should be
turned into a feature.
mircea_popescu: let me get
this straight : if me and you have a rk, and you run your blog from
there, and i overload your ip but only use port x which you do not use a) you'll never know and b) i have
two ips now.
mircea_popescu: and of course
this stands for whole space ? one could eg make foundation box inaccessible by renting rk ?
mircea_popescu: but btw, a) still stands. i judge
the odds of some user even
touching conf.d ~0 and
the odds of your having accidentally used
the wrong values during a resetting ~100%.
mircea_popescu: at
the very least you could have a listener attached, report
to you cases of double-ack
mircea_popescu: and you ~still~ don't see either
the utility or
the possibility of having a box do switching ?
mircea_popescu: a large portion of why people are stuck paying
that $$$ ; and i guess pizarro will
too ?
mircea_popescu: both
the words "switch" and "router" actually originate from a
time after
this problem being resolved ;/
the switch will switch, and
the router will route. you got a ... multiplexer ?
mircea_popescu: you're
telling me you have some magical lan whereby
the boxes aren't distinguished ?
mircea_popescu: whereby your switch does not forward packets coming from
the wrong a ?
mircea_popescu: so
to understand
this : box x
talks
to box y. box y is ambiguously defined, both box a and b send ack in response, box x can not proceed connecting ?
a111: Logged on 2018-07-11 22:41 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo plox
to sit down on somewhere other
than dulap ip.
mircea_popescu: this can only mean "by advertising
that route"
to me. what
the fuck ?
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm not understranding
the problem. how can box a make box b unreachable ?
mircea_popescu: nevermind entirely isolate ; why are
they publishing
their own routes ?
mircea_popescu: "Meeya Meefla",
the only city
to have preserved its name from
the pre-atomic era: evidently Miami, Florida << aaahahaha!
this is carrying on. where do all
the orcs wanna go ?
to meeya meefla,
the city of moafle.
mircea_popescu: hanbot : " spacecraft, which are crewed by humans
telepathically linked with cats
to defend against
the attacks of malevolent entities in space, which are perceived by
the humans as dragons, and by
the cats as gigantic rats".
mircea_popescu: so you're
telling me douchebag could have
taken out your entire plant if he had a clue ?
mircea_popescu: a) i am willing
to bet you're
the last one
to have
touched such. ; b) people can actually fuck up other's boxes' routing ?!
diana_coman: anyway,
to
the point: I still find Linebarger interesting, perhaps for
the exact reason
that I can't yet actually place him fully anywhere
diana_coman: I
think it's one of
those where we
take one another's eyes out for half a day, at
the end of which it
turns out we actually agreed on
the main point all along
mircea_popescu: diana_coman /me also answered
the ancient debate meanwhile!

the cool hackers on
the internet, but only
the assholes with prestigious positions."
this has been a widely known complaint for a long
time
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck can
there exist so-and-so billion "people" and zero work comes out of
them year in, year out ? what is
this ?
mircea_popescu: nothing but neet-ing about and "do we still have
to DO
this" bla bla bla "the conversation" nonsense & sheer idiocy. nothing but. NOTHING BUT!
mircea_popescu: not even
the lowliest of
the lowliest fruit shall be picked up, year after year after year AFTER YEAR.
mircea_popescu: let's look at
the matter :
the actual manuscript has been maintained online by
the british museum for half a decade by now. more. out of all
these "creative" kanzures, exactly ZERO actually
transcribed it and published on
their own fucking worthless "online presence".
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-09-10 15:27 mircea_popescu: but i seriously do not see
the need for a "web"
to support
this nonsense.
they'd be much better served by a single pravda.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : oscar wilde's prison wailings (renamed "de profundis" by some buttfriend or other), uninteresting and unimportant as
they may be, nevertheless were published in a bowdlerized version cca 1905, and in a proper version in 1960.
THIS version is out of copyright in

the us) ; now go find it somewhere on

that it is ridiculous
to make accusations against
the Jews, attributing

typically English
