mod6: There are five (I previously thought there were four) accounts that have longer dated contracts, people who have signed up for a full year, or multiple months. We want to compensate those accounts for a mis-pricing posted since May 29th. The idea was to credit them 0.001 BTC/mo for June, July, and August.
asciilifeform: you give it a user, /sbin/nologin, put the thing itself in cron @reboot , that's it
mircea_popescu: especiallty considering most people who run a bot also want a znc -- if most people who want a znc get a free bot in the process it won't hurt anything.
mircea_popescu: evidently a lot of republicans, and even a bunch of lords use, so it'd be entirely not wasted effort if someone wants to flatten the ircbot into this role.
mod6: Ok, so this whole pricing thing with Pizarro. (Thread begins here: http://logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro?d=2018-8-31#419975). We've been discussing this for a few days now. And anyone who has month-to-month service has been made correct in their pricing for August, as well as anyone who has established new "Shared Hosting" in August (nicoleci).
mircea_popescu: i expect, yes. 99% of the function is basically an irc proxy ; i expect 99% of the code is other dumb shit
asciilifeform: ( tho znc does dance the fleanode-demanded ssl crapola dance )
asciilifeform: the sad part, it doesn't even do very much, could prolly be replaced with slightly refined trinqueian irc bot
mircea_popescu: we seem to be collecting these.
asciilifeform: fwiw i configged mine without the www plugin, but was a while ago
asciilifeform: re znc -- it's a terrifying crock o'shit, but afaik there's no working replacement of yet
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-31#1846134 << this. znc has no business sharing your user, and ESPECIALLY not root. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 19:00 asciilifeform: asciilifeform's pet is working through learning ru, and periodically succumbs to temptation of google translate as 'learning tool', with predictably lulzy result
mircea_popescu: o btw re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1828392 : ever screened http://trilema.com/2011/cel-mai-bun-film/#selection-55.0-55.14 for her ? it occurs to me it's possibly the best resource for student, genuine work of art, simplest language i can imagine. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Looks from here like you are good to go ☟︎
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-08-31 06:35 mircea_popescu: Mocky i realise now i misspoke ; the idea is for the bot to stop when it sees the "you gain experience but don't seem to improve" message ; not when you level up a skill
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: Sent 36 minutes ago: <Mocky> http://logs.bvulpes.com/eulora?d=2018-8-31#421381 << we're on the same page. bot looks for You practiced Gathering but you don't seem to get any better at it. in fact, looks only for You practiced
mircea_popescu: http://logs.bvulpes.com/eulora?d=2018-8-31#421453 << i had nfi muslims are that into micromanagement.

lobbes: BingoBoingo: take yer time. Im stuck in $mines for the next 7 hours or so anyways
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-31#1846134 << aha, while I did make a seperate user for znc.. I did not do the sbin/nologin as shell. Will make this standard practice going forward ☝︎
BingoBoingo: lobbes: ty, will head down soon then. Got another Qntra to squeeze out.
lobbes: BingoBoingo, asciilifeform: sry about the radio silence; was in transit to $saltmines. I can confirm I'm fine with BingoBoingo working his magic on the box (Im also fine with the idea of paying a 'service fee', this was most likely my doing)
BingoBoingo: Aite, going to caffinate a bit more. I would like to wait for lobbes to confirm the order.
BingoBoingo: lobbes is the D machine?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That's what I did on mine.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the quickest cure is simply to walk there and unplug his mains, and stick the disk in your lappy.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plox cure lobbes's rk . but in the future, this will prolly have to cost something, as it uses hands.
BingoBoingo: I got hit with that error yesterday, rockchip was unresponsive to pings. Ended up pulling the drive, going over sshd_cofig and power cycling my Rockchip
asciilifeform: lobbes: rockchip boxen do not have vga/kbd consoles. so if this is so, the only way to recover your unit is to move the disk to another box and manually enable pw'd root login
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Do you want me to check your sshd_config?
lobbes off to sit on stake for 8 hours. bbl
lobbes: any ideas from anyone will be appreciated. I suspect znc is the culprit (problem started after setting that up) but I can't even diagnose without getting into the thing
lobbes: the weird thing (to me), is that it seems that I can -only- connect on port 5000 (which is the port I configured ZNC to use and the port through which I am speaking through -right now-)
lobbes: In addition: any attempts at reaching the www results in 403 errors.. (http://blog.lobbesblog.com/)
lobbes: so I have a question for the more experienced server operators out there: As of yesterday I found that I can no longer ssh into my rockchip (eggog: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/PKeSK/?raw=true) ☟︎
lobbesbot: lobbes: The operation succeeded.

mats: thats not my complaint above, just has identical wording. i can't see the original complaints, as accounts were banned by the various providers
mats: sorry for the confusion, i got similar complaints for doing the ipv4 ssh/http/https/ssl scans
mircea_popescu: um... you did this in... 2016 ?!
mats: cause knocking on the door is criminal, or something
mats: http://archive.is/2923P#selection-9.1294-9.1761 << i got half a dozen of these sorts
mircea_popescu: who the hell would complain ?!
mats: scaleway didn't give me any lip tho
mats: for the record, vultr and feralhosting were uncooperative regarding abuse complaints
mircea_popescu: "what ~exactly~ can be had from https://www.amazon.com/Glamorway-TEC1-12706-Thermoelectric-Cooling-Peltier/dp/B00IKDL22O or https://www.amazon.com/AOSHIKE-Polycrystalline-Silicon-Photovoltaic-Charger/ in the woods behind my house / on the roof of my windowsil" etc entirely not wasted effort. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: that said, some field investigation of powerplants is actually quite sorely needed. i suspect there's a decent gap between words online and objects the chinese ship, exactly in the vein of hanbot 's story above.
Mocky: 'depilation treatment' lol
Mocky: thx! will take a look
deedbot: http://thewhet.net/2018/08/hanbots-znc-bouncer-notes/ << The Whet - hanbot's ZNC bouncer notes
mircea_popescu: so make one, that way you have where to put the story of that attempt, and we have what to link against.
mats: depending on how that goes, i'll explore different power plants, and if THAT goes well, there's a gnat port to build future ffa-gossipd
mats: mircea_popescu: over the next couple months, i'm going to reproduce the esp8266 experiment linked yesterday, and try to identify an even lower usable power state
mats: i neglected to parse for extended attributes, so i expect this csv will come in handy sooner rather than later. the n will aid a faster zgrep, sorry for the trouble
mats: if you want to do your own analysis, you can download a compressed tarball of the csv i created for your convenience here http://merr.ourea.feralhosting.com/ct.csv.tar.gz with the rows n,e,pem_cert (you'll have to prepend&append "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n", "\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----" to this field). i would grab this sooner than later, bill payment for this box stops Sep21
mats: as for the tls collection work, i purchased a 4tb hdd feralhosting box and walked the various Certificate Transparency log servers https://www.gstatic.com/ct/log_list/log_list.json using https://github.com/CaliDog/Axeman to yield ~1tb / 400mn+ certs after deduplication
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's the lulz of all time.
mircea_popescu: http://www.ilblogdellestelle.it/ << i dunno if anyone knows about this lulzy italian...

asciilifeform: lol that thing!
asciilifeform: neh that'd be pizdo-

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-31#1845998 << sure, but this relies on the myth anyone speaks ru. ☝︎
nicoleci: mircea_popescu, <mircea_popescu> nicoleci i thought you were a pisicologist.
nicoleci: mircea_popescu, well yes Master but you introduced me to the field...lol
mircea_popescu warmly recommends slave labour, but i guess ben_vulpes stronghold not quite there yet
mircea_popescu: aren't taxes a wonderful thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think he can find a cheaper mexican than ben_vulpes
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: hire mexican to finish it ?
mircea_popescu: nicoleci i thought you were a pisicologist.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ah ah, well i started on the fence *first* and then i decided to move.

mircea_popescu: how do you like the republican corporate environment, ho ?
ben_vulpes: i also happen to enjoy my privacy.
asciilifeform: well, i'll let ben_vulpes describe, to what.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not humans. usg stormtroopers. take, and feed to.
ben_vulpes: oh no, this is a statal bezzle where the local cps takes "at risk" children and sells them to "foster care". statal human trafficking ring.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform afaik in texas it's "except if kid has red ryder"
asciilifeform: even texas.
asciilifeform: iirc they have this 'feature' in all 50 states
mircea_popescu: the notion that anyone'd want someone else's kids is not unlike the notion someone'd want someone else's mortgage, used tp, etc.
mircea_popescu: oh oh, i see, someone's gonna TAKE them.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu hails from lands where the children roam free, are eventually returned to their parents, right?
ben_vulpes: children too
