asciilifeform: i do not in fact know the exact mechanism.

asciilifeform: afaik unique.

asciilifeform: but of course it is emulated, and is expected to not hog the cpu.

asciilifeform: (rather than a proprietary crapolade uploader, or ftp, as typical in ye olde 'shared host')

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it is closer to vps, actually, you get an ssh login and a thing that superficially resembles an actual linux box from inside said ssh

asciilifeform: it is more barbaric, even, than vps.

asciilifeform: also ben_vulpes may be right, i do not know if the proper name for what nfs co does is 'vps'.

asciilifeform: no persistent unix processes permitted.

asciilifeform: the unfortunate thing is that nfs co. is quite useless for most of the purposes of most folx here.

asciilifeform: (they also have a thing, iirc, where you can buy 'buckets' of bandwidth, for use in case of elaborate ddos, but i have not tried it)

asciilifeform: aha, pay per byte.

asciilifeform: at any rate, for the price it is quite impossible to beat, i have nfi how they are able to supply this kind of service, at that price.

asciilifeform: they also claim that they have never dropped a paying account other than by court order , but i have no way of knowing if true.

asciilifeform: aha, and long before 'it was hip'

asciilifeform: fd_travel: they have a strange and ancient setup, you use their nameserver, the boxes actually serving up your thing, vary, the ip is not static, quite eldritch

asciilifeform: the minus is that it is (yes) in usa, and has very limited support for anything that isn't text www ☟︎

asciilifeform: and with 0 'cloudflare' or whatever other hipsterism.

asciilifeform: i pay couplea bux per mo for what is in effect five-nines uptime, and the closest thing i've ever seen to infinite ddos resistance

asciilifeform: i am actually rather fond of my vps hoster, nfs co (discussed in the logs at least twice, one of which was the time mircea_popescu wrote to them 'why not bitcoin?' and they answered 'bitcoin is a snore', he then barfed)

asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform's www is on a vps, has been for decade+ , but it is not 'infrastructure'. )

asciilifeform: it's on a vps?!

asciilifeform: kernel?!

asciilifeform: !!up fd_travel

asciilifeform: the folx who actually want to speak -- and have something to say -- follow the instructions, they ask somebody for an 'up'.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-22#1631002 << the remoras, historically, have shown 0 interest in talking, or - when talking - in making any sense ☝︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: iirc he posted a photo at some point, is in the l0gz

asciilifeform: that one time i sent a sample of boards to mircea_popescu , in 2014, was a real lulzfest

asciilifeform: i do idly wonder what the parcels will look like on the other end of their trip.

asciilifeform: Framedragger: got yours yet ?

asciilifeform: Framedragger: for some reason 9 out of 10 tardanos have onboard radios.

asciilifeform: aaaaanything-but-rsa!!!1111

asciilifeform: that was pretty quick snoar-inducer.

asciilifeform: https://camp.hsbp.org/2016/pp7e0/fahrplan/system/attachments/22/original/camp__.pdf << sooo i look at his pcb -- antenna track?! then read, 'key exchange over 2.4GHz', 'post-quantum crypto (newhope and symmetric)'

asciilifeform: meanwhile, ACHTUNG s.nsa customers! moar FUCKGOATS shipped today. see your invoice www pg to learn if yours was in this batch. ☟︎

asciilifeform: readerz write in : https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/blog/posts/pitchfork.html << new tardano.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: when deciding what to plant on the 'criminal' comp, naturally

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: afaik they use humans

asciilifeform: (then -- 'coke machine.')

asciilifeform: it's the logical end.

asciilifeform: any day nao, peine forte et dure comes back!111

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/0qmNU << from same rag. 'The US Third Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld a lower court ruling of contempt against a chap who claimed he couldn't remember the password to decrypt his computer's hard drives.'

asciilifeform: ^ complete with 'oh it wasn't the tor, believe'

asciilifeform: unrelatedly, https://archive.is/F7Vjc << from the world of opsecfail lulz.

asciilifeform: ^ includes the buildroot process

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-March/000074.html << recipe

asciilifeform: actually strike that,

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-January/000033.html << arm cross-flags example (from ye olde trb)

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: see the pogo build articles.

asciilifeform: probably not.

asciilifeform: as asciilifeform did for, e.g., pogo.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you really oughta cross-compile the whole shebang

asciilifeform: gentoo afaik never had a theo de raadt, with cellar full of vax, pdp

asciilifeform: heh, that's what, 4? 5? yrs after the last ppc box was sold other than secondhand?

asciilifeform: iirc - a postman's widow could collect a mil. depending on when he dies.

asciilifeform: pretty minor league lizard, afaik.

asciilifeform: lulzy.

asciilifeform: 'Since Dwyer died in office, his widow Joanne was able to collect full survivor benefits, totaling over $1.28 million.' --pediwik

asciilifeform: 'where am i?' 'you are in a car'

asciilifeform: noshit

asciilifeform: where did these go.

asciilifeform: 'Pennsylvania State Treasurer R. Budd Dwyer holds a pistol as he prepared to shoot himself in front of cameras during a news conference in his State Capitol office in Harrisburg.' << pretty great

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which common fantasy

asciilifeform: no i was speaking of the pedal folx

asciilifeform: from the position of a draft horse?!

asciilifeform: ~100% of the pedallers : white d00dz in their 20s, 'college victims'

asciilifeform: incidentally.. there are pedal-powered rickshaws in washington. for ~decade nao.

asciilifeform: yea

asciilifeform: ( prior -- oxcart, or legs, pick. )

asciilifeform: funnily enough (at least to me) even the humble rickshaw was introduced by the white man

asciilifeform: it isn't clear to me that americans, in the general case, can distinguish cosmo from whatever.

asciilifeform: why they instead have win2k -- i cannot say

asciilifeform: it is entirely possible to be 'behind the times' in a non-retarded way, e.g. 'what ipad, i still have a working pdp11'

asciilifeform: and fucked it.

asciilifeform: the argentines et al had a golden chance to not-have-microshit

asciilifeform: i did find myself wondering, what exactly microshit did to make sure that it in fact ended up happening in 'we heard of computer in 2010' planet.

asciilifeform: winblowz xp bsod on atm, does not even surprise anyone, any moar, afaik.

asciilifeform: on ATMs, even

asciilifeform: we have these here

asciilifeform: choice?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from not updating since '06, say.

asciilifeform: and not only the net, but they have magic-debian.

asciilifeform: !$ ssh 200.62.176.35

asciilifeform: and here i was, wondered if they even had the net there.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-22#1630768 << lol: peru ☝︎

asciilifeform: tru.

asciilifeform: strictly entomological interest.

asciilifeform: reading logs goes against their religion. or wat.

asciilifeform: i still wonder, the lurk remoras, they have no www browser on their box ?

asciilifeform: ( speaking of which, https://archive.is/p1EJN >> Run Moar Keybase )

asciilifeform: or in fauxpgp

asciilifeform: or sitting in mail etc

asciilifeform: gunpowderplot.txt

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the proverbial 'six words from the pen of the honest man', presumably.

asciilifeform: * crackerJack (~infopirat@rrcs-50-84-154-226.sw.biz.rr.com) has joined #trilema << oh hey, because apparently we need TWO ninjashotguns from same pigsty

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: tard's been doing it for weeks

asciilifeform: in other veryolds, 'you'll feel no dismay, watching your house burn, after you get to see how the bedbug dies!' (korean proverb) ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: i can already picture naggum, might have said, 'hey whatsthematter gnatelim is not part of ada standard, nobody promised you that it'll work and not cut out beating heart from an in-use package'

asciilifeform: entirely inexplicable failure of any stream subclass whatsoever, from any example code whatsoever, to work.

asciilifeform: in gnatelim, of all things.

asciilifeform: holy mother of fuck, asciilifeform sweated for 2 wks over nothing, turned out it was a bug in... gnat
