mircea_popescu: and this my dear chitlins is how "overton window" works.
mircea_popescu: aha. suddenly they would swallow any dick, just as long as it's not trump.
mircea_popescu: yeah the 20% figure is more of a sort of "ideal case" ; it can climb to 50% or more like that ^
mircea_popescu: but no, it's exactly like the charter of a Совет Экономической Взаимопомощи.
mircea_popescu: which is the substantiation for the 70bn yet figure i quoted.
mircea_popescu: they don't really exist, unless you're a part of the japanese national wot, which...
mircea_popescu: because then we could compare something meaningful : the relative compositions of the non-cache waste.
mircea_popescu: finding what makes the remainder, however, very valuable.
mircea_popescu: what'd it establish, wehther the cache helps ? it certainly does.
mircea_popescu: seems the db write/read wait counts for ~20% of total time ?
mircea_popescu: phf i am not surprised, it's pretty jarring as far as these get.
mircea_popescu: "this is what subhuman females look like in their natural habitat, the jungle". wtf, europe went to congo to fix this, not to normalize it.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck is holywood half-black and all fatty, and how the fuck does it expect to hang on to any kind of relevancy in this manner ? bollywood has better women.
mircea_popescu: 0mn worth of magic markers is a little much even for japan.)
mircea_popescu: (story there was, olympus "hired" aka finally accepted its first foreign devil ceo (michael woodford) in 2011 ; and fired him two weeks later as the dude was principally dedicated to the job of, how can we finance usg out of this japanese corp. the usg however didn't go home, but started "legal proceedings", which eventually resulted in the above theft, plus whatever office supplies woodford managed to take home. apparently 6
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude, they fucking gutted them. olympus agreed to pay the usg ~70 billion yen in fines, and install obama's children as an "independent outside monitor". whole corp market cap being you know, 1.3trn or some shit. who the fuck pays 5% of the market cap as a fine already, what is this, Совет Экономической Взаимопомощи ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "As you may be aware, Olympus Corporation of the Americas (OCA) recently entered into civil, criminal, and administrative settlements with the United States in connection with the sales and marketing of certain OCA products. This letter provides you with additional information about the settlements, explains OCA’s commitments going forward, and provides you with access to information about those commitments."
mircea_popescu: actually... the local branch of olympus, the lens makers.
mircea_popescu: trinque if it helps, the last that i see on the path to you is 38.104.87.131 (joe's datacenter). 104.192.170.197 is also allocated to them. 138.107.206.73 however does not, it's "olympus corporation" of kiminobu eto, takuro watabe & toru yamaki whatever japanese company. why's that in there.
mircea_popescu: i think it's more in the vein of out and out pederasty.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's an old time bitcoin scammer that keeps pushing these
mircea_popescu: it's been dead for about a year or so, but anyway, "oh i know, i'll make yet another fake wot website. because i'm a jew and we're fucking stupid congenitally." or some shit.
mircea_popescu: this needs to run over many, as in thousands, of blocks.
mircea_popescu: anyway, no the ramdisk thing doesn't work indefinitely, soon enough the block index will exceed the commodously available ram
mircea_popescu: this is why i say expensive, it's not a case of "random vps hur durr".
mircea_popescu: no but i mean, a 30gb ramdisk node to support the general public's mistaken notions and unwarranted pretensions... meh.
mircea_popescu: i will note that this is an expensive and unrewarding activity that i personally discontinued cca 2014.
mircea_popescu: the paths are hardcoded to .bitcoin/ in stock satoshib, not the end of the world to change them
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't really do blockchain.info style "public support". i think i have the stuff somewhere, i'll have to dig for it. basically it's, blk* live on /sda ; blkindex.dat and friends live on /sdb which happens to be a ramdisk.
mircea_popescu: jurov shutdown of node can readily take > 15 minutes ; and can't even be initiated if the node is, eg, in db lock because block eating.
mircea_popescu: index-in-ram is actually how you run a large, infrastructural like node.
mircea_popescu: not necessarily in the sense of turning it off or altogether
mircea_popescu: there ~may~ be some optimizations that can be applied as-is to turn a jfs into something more appropriate for bitcoining than the "middle of the road" setting it ships with.
mircea_popescu: so give it some time, it just got released like two days ago
mircea_popescu: in this sense your house is broken design, randos could tp it every hour.
mircea_popescu: we aren't actually following a purpose here, like "have a good bitcoin". we're merely proceeding from cause : db is broken and THEREFORE must be fixed. not BECAUSE it would bla bla ; but therefore.
mircea_popescu: and then the usual usgtards were all over "oh, wow, you broke it and then you were "right on it and omg fixed it you're like power rangers" and so...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, this is the one where the idiot miners "updated" and then the update failed and then usgavin gave them some of the bitcoin usg stole to compensate for the lost mining.
mircea_popescu: the one during the original split with the idiots who were there baptised as power rangers
mircea_popescu: one's like "you were in a coma for the past thirty years, here's what happened that you don't remember" ; the other's like "you had a hallucinatory episode, your history for the past x period is bad and you'll have to rewrite it".
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between extension and reorg, however.
mircea_popescu: and there's actually some benefit for the network not even physically being capable to accept reorgs deeper than x.
mircea_popescu: yes, but blocks once written don't change. that's the non-rewritable part.
mircea_popescu: there is that. i'm just saying, you can have nonrewritable media, whatevs.
mircea_popescu: if it works on ext4 it can be implemented on fucking tape.
mircea_popescu: but the reason it's mired in "first, experiment, profile" is because this is EXACTLY the sort of thing which should theoretically work out of the box on a modern nix, and ABSOLUTELY never does, at all. central lizard fodder.
mircea_popescu: but i have nfi whether this is even feasible, because this'd be step 2, after the "hey, what happens if you fill a disk with symlinks" EXPERIMENT returns some fucking results.
mircea_popescu: but your file = block (in the fs sense) = block (in bitcoin sense)
mircea_popescu: there is that. perhaps a better indexing scheme could be had. hence the fucking symlinks
mircea_popescu: the other problem is that a good db fix is a very large project, because bitcoin is written insanely. and our fs db isn't moving, last i heard a month ago someone was going to try and profile an extx
☟︎ mircea_popescu: now then : a fix for the db would significantly improve a few classes of block verification delays ; and it would alleviate blackhole-like behaviour due to that, node's frozen checking a new block. there's at least 3 different dos vectors for other nodes, and a) the foregoing wouldn't help ; b) if it helped the enemy could easily upregulate the crapflood to compensate.
