mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/RTBp0/08c6a025426c09e313ab4e9b30f20f7a1719b6b6.gif << the fucking sad of the github bound. they're stuck doing animated gifs of "how to use this" because the video processors masquerading as "users" that click on the page literally lack the literacy to use anything written.
asciilifeform: ( veeery selective, and consistent, and on technical matters entirely passable, i oughta note )
asciilifeform: even 'большая советская энциклопедия' was closer to d'alembert's item, than pedi
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fundamental misunderstanding of what an encyclopedia is. pro tip : d'alembert's item was an ~elite~ retelling of the world. the mass retelling of the world isn't a retelling, isn't of the world, and interests as much as any other fly metabolism byproducts.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: about a decade ago, i bought, on a lark, a keychain thing that claimed to contain all of the text of the then-pediwikia, and had 'random' button. ~99+% of presses of this button, resulted in 'flyshit, montana'-type nowhere-village article. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-13#1841199 << i'd say that's a typical offering. there's similar pages on ~every small town in the woods, and on the basis of this mass then there's ~entirely similar~ articles on elite topics. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( there's ~350mil left to go )
mircea_popescu: anyway, trhere's definitely output huh.
asciilifeform: ( snarfed up by mats, he has not detailed the exact methodology of yet )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc it is raw crapola straight from the sslolade

a111: Logged on 2018-08-13 01:31 asciilifeform: what i'ma end up doing, is to factor all of the small composites, remove'em from db, enter the factors instead, and henceforth never enter composites into factor table.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not only it, but just about surely the other recurrent idjiocies in the zoo ( http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/factors )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-12#1841182 << what's the link for that ? seeing how it's new. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-08-12 23:37 asciilifeform: the huawei crapola, for instance, i'm quite convinced at this point would be 100% breakable if anybody got hold of a unit and forced it to generate keys 24/7 for a coupla months
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-12#1841177 << this is actually quite likely, on what we've seen so far. ☝︎

Mocky: check the file permissions?

Mocky: #eulora for one. personally i thought the asciiart dick bird dunking a basketball was a bit much but hey
BingoBoingo: And now the botters are dropping asciiartforms in channels
asciilifeform: ( and omit 'new small factor for known rubbish mod' from rss, nobody particularly needs to 'see the rubble bounce' )
asciilifeform: what i'ma end up doing, is to factor all of the small composites, remove'em from db, enter the factors instead, and henceforth never enter composites into factor table. ☟︎
asciilifeform: and nobody fucking cares that 'there are 2 moduli divisible by 1547665'. aint prime.
asciilifeform: ok, output is happening. up side : there's output, that there was not before. down side : so far all of it is small change crapolade. i'ma really have to do a mod-by-mod walk and gcd(mod, 8192bit primorial from oldthread) . and henceforth on submission. cuz this is lame.
asciilifeform: was optimizing rss crapper so that it doesn't idiotically do whole cpu/hour of work each time cache expires, evidently introduced a sad where a new find of $factor triggers old mods as report
BingoBoingo: I'll have to start reading the phuctor chunks from the bottom up
BingoBoingo: A lol in the spew: "deedbot> http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/23B2173C2FF1A9C43007D526720EA2B9EC1CB4AC21503429ACFBA1DA022517B3 << Recent Phuctorings. - Phuctored: 3 divides RSA Moduli belonging to 'James Bottomley <jejb@kernel.org>; James Bottomley <JBottomley@Odin.com>; James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>; James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>; '"

a111: Logged on 2016-09-02 18:26 asciilifeform: well other working hypothesis is that it is ~not~ tiny fraction, but a tip of the 'birthday theorem' iceberg.
asciilifeform: ( possibly ought to be http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-02#1533642 link ) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-02-07 18:49 asciilifeform: hanbot: conceivably, a sabotaged generator that yields 2**32 possible keys, will result in ~0 natural collisions, and remain invisible to phuctor unless i first find it via some other means.
asciilifeform: or hm, possibly this is it.
asciilifeform: buncha phuctor output, btw, in #asciilifeform , and prolly will through the night
lobbes: http://blog.lobbesblog.com/2018/07/auctionbot-eta-and-status-report/#selection-71.0-71.11 << update: I have completed a successful test run of an external .py script communicating on IRC via logbot and the listen/notify mechanisms of postgres. Best part is that I've got a solid foundation for bot command handling as a result of the testing. Blog post soon on the details of playing 'ping-pong' with logbot and postgres as the paddle
BingoBoingo: <mod6> Let's think on it anyway. I guess worst case, BingoBoingo could take a day trip to BSAS and buy some drives. << They aren't cheaper over there
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the even powers thing is a real effect tho, it's why we still occasionally get 'mod phuctored! factors : 3' etc
mircea_popescu: they actually patched their ircd to sed 's/spam//'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform really, i wouldn't put that much finnicking into it.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-12 18:30 asciilifeform: i had this knob on the implementation conveyor regardless, because of a certain peculiarity of bernstein's algo which i noticed, where if there is an even multiple of any given factor present in the whole, it will not get found
mod6: ok got a few chores to do here quick, bbs.
mod6: Whatever we don't spend will be returned to Pizarro, or I suppose can be held in fiat if need be.
mod6: So for the record, the total BTC amount for the BingoBoingo SSD order is: 0.33437500
mod6: that'll do it then.
mod6: We're right under the threshold here.
mod6: Ok then.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-12 18:29 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: depending on how long it takes to get disks, we can do what i suggested a while back ( but for some reason can't dig up, in l0gz) where we trade space for time, and run on randomized subsets of the db continuously
asciilifeform: mod6 can, either via http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-12#1841098 , or disk on snake ( if BingoBoingo turns one up ) ☝︎
mod6: (guessing it would take somewhere around that amount of time for the shipment to complete from ben_vulpes)
mod6: Anyway, your idea sounds like a plan. But can S.NSA live without the mechanical 10Tb spinners for a month?
mod6: Yeah, just throwin it out there.
mod6: Or maybe we can see if mthreat wants to ferry over a few.
mod6: Let's think on it anyway. I guess worst case, BingoBoingo could take a day trip to BSAS and buy some drives.
mod6: (otherwise would just throw him more funds to place a second order immediately)
mod6: I'm reluctant to order more drives back to back until we can confirm we can actually receive a shipment.
mod6: And then we still have no spares until BingoBoingo can place another order. Which I'm fine with, but still leaves us kinda in a sticky spot.
mod6: Well, it could work. But then the drives that BingoBoingo is ordering must go to S.MG's UY3.
asciilifeform: mod6: that's what i was thinking
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell BingoBoingo plz lemme know re the 1 mech disk in the bilge ( whose is it ? and what size ? and can fit in the snake ? )
mod6: So what you're thinking is that instaed of the 5 EVO 1tb ssd's that we were supposed to get for S.MG, he'd send 5 10Tb disks for S.NSA instead?
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell ben_vulpes plox to give mircea_popescu & asciilifeform a quote for getting 5 10TB mech disks of reasonable quality to BingoBoingostan
mod6: BingoBoingo should be ordering drives within a day or so from the btc I sent him on friday.
mod6: i dunno, I just put in a checkin with him in #pizarro to see about the refund. best case, he got the refund and can ship more drives, perhaps today even.
asciilifeform: mod6: what's the latest on ben_vulpes's disks misadventure ?
asciilifeform: mod6: drive shortage will have to be cured ; if i gotta fly with crate of disks, even.
mod6: (spare drives, that is -- which could put is in a pretty bad position if it comes to it)
mod6: we are trying to get more drives down there, as you know. but could be a while until we have any spares at all.
mod6: asciilifeform: anyway, think it over. let me know.
asciilifeform: ( hence why the debian collection gets run in two steps, 'p's' then 'q's' )
asciilifeform: i had this knob on the implementation conveyor regardless, because of a certain peculiarity of bernstein's algo which i noticed, where if there is an even multiple of any given factor present in the whole, it will not get found ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-08-12 17:09 mod6: Sincen we only have ~one~ spare remaining on hand until we get our other drive shipments, I kinda wanna hang on to the foundation
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-12#1841047 << ok, but i mean, can't have phuctor grind to a stop because of it neh ? << If it's critical, it's critical, and will sell disk to S.NSA. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: depending on how long it takes to get disks, we can do what i suggested a while back ( but for some reason can't dig up, in l0gz) where we trade space for time, and run on randomized subsets of the db continuously ☟︎

mircea_popescu: anyway, ima go take hussy uphill for a spell, bb in a few hours.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-12#1841047 << ok, but i mean, can't have phuctor grind to a stop because of it neh ? ☝︎
mod6: yeah, this ^
mircea_popescu: do we actually own that spare too ? iirc we did sell them something.
mircea_popescu: i'm not strictly against the configuration, put four large disks on it w/e. see what pizarro says too, but i'm amenable.
asciilifeform: not necessarily waste of board ; could rent out space to l1 folx .
mircea_popescu: alright, so basically you want to make the spare into a dumb disk box ? isn't that a waste of board ?
asciilifeform: and there is not an 'inside' in either
mircea_popescu: wouldn't it be better to have 3ssd raid and the mechanical inside ?
asciilifeform: ( and there was nobody to collect all of ipv4's ssl etc )
mircea_popescu: never saw this wonder. but anyway, you want basically to keep a 4ssd raid cluster for speed and add a mechanical on usb ?
asciilifeform: when i provisioned the boxes, eater operated at ~10 units / sec, instead of 150 .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: erry box is doomed to one day run out of space
mircea_popescu: aleright, so then tell me this, why is our box provisioned in such a way you ran out of space ?
asciilifeform: so we're the ones provisioning disks
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this box dun belong to pizarro, recall
mircea_popescu: or else yes i agree s.nsa can afford more drives if it wants them
