mircea_popescu: then you win and your 40 minute lunch break is almost over, everyone's very happy and can go on with their life.
mircea_popescu: ideally the way this goes, you call the agency, girl shows up, you spend ten minutes going through legal red tape / reading paperwork boilerplate / filling consent forms whatever. then you pump her a little, there's various gizmos and gadgets measuring things, then you play a little board game on the basis of the measurements for say 20 minutes or so.
mircea_popescu: but it occurs to me cs weenie oriented hookers totally should have a per-second fee scheme.
mircea_popescu: but sure, day works, hour works, i have nfi who would not be interested in a per hour deal because he wants per minute!!11
mircea_popescu: there's three degrees of magnitude between the day and the minute. is that your granularity ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "different ips" in the sense of, "same box, same c block" is somewhat naive. they're not that different.

mircea_popescu: Framedragger no. no fucking payload. the web has no business being in state.
mircea_popescu: with deedbot payments imminent, it may well take off even
mircea_popescu: and this is a bona fide economically useful service, mind you, it'd entirely cut the whole "cloud" business at the knees, seeing how 99% of all the actual value they deliver is ~this, execpt at 100x the financial and 10`000x the administrative cost.
mircea_popescu: there's really no need for domain names generally, and certainly no actual utility in this application.
mircea_popescu: fast and painless mirrorring is certainly a valid application for your irc'd vps,
mircea_popescu: then we could just maintain static versions of trilema, qntra and anything else tar-gz'd and ready to go.
mircea_popescu: could I do something like !$mirror <url> 5 so as to get it to spin up 5 separate instances, load url, unpack it and serve ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well it was sort-of in the logs, at least in general, but it's still a very cool idea very much needed. scriba-based provisioning or what ?
mircea_popescu: then 15 years later they're having "a conversation" on ~~facebook~~ about things (
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-29#1649833 ) and expect to be taken seriously, and for their INCREDIBLY offensive tone to pass as socially acceptable. the romanians of facebook, disgusting crawlies that came out of the eggs laid by the "romanians on ms office" repugnant creepies.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: to them it seemed natural to get a govt job and explore what the computer "lets them" do

mircea_popescu: sure as fuck no one in 2009 was willing to buy the 2009 crap.

mircea_popescu: Framedragger yeah, not sure how much work i want expended to support nickserv's fiatista notions of dns.
mircea_popescu: i guess this is one of those, "pretend like your name reg is worth something without deedbot at your own peril" impedance mismatches not really worth fixing.
