mircea_popescu: mike_c, o wow, how is bitbet negastive ? she lost a bet meanwhile ?
mike_c: sort of
mike_c: er, yes
mike_c: she won, but it didn't cover the small hedge
mircea_popescu: link ?

mircea_popescu: ah i c
mircea_popescu: dude is it great that these aren't related and so p2 can cover p4 etc
mircea_popescu: anywya, splendid tool that thing.
mike_c: will get even more live when jurov finishes his thing :)
mircea_popescu: splendid.
mircea_popescu: once bb's pot increases significantly i'll bug him to do something similar, but for now a small wildcard is all the spritz needed
mircea_popescu: anywya, fascinating what open *really* means.
mike_c: agreed
mircea_popescu: and making history and all that jazz all the derps claim
BingoBoingo: I'm still wondering how I might do that, but there are ideas.
mike_c: jurov's book would make infinite loop anyway. nav = (pc1,2,3,4) + nav * pc5 shares
mircea_popescu: part of the reason why i took him of nav pricing
mircea_popescu: he's doing mkt value.
mircea_popescu: o look at that, jd a whole dime up since yest too ?
mircea_popescu: muy bien muy bien

decimation: asciilifeform: after reading that chapter, it appears that ferroresonant transformers help with voltage regulation, suppressing harmonics and transients, as well as riding through nasty undervolt conditions (that kill switching power supplies). They aren't very helpful for momentary outages, as you have said.
asciilifeform: decimation: correct.
decimation: I might have to go find one of my own, if they are available for cheap.
asciilifeform: decimation: for outages, ordinary ups.
asciilifeform: decimation: (no reason not to connect traditional ups in series)
decimation: before the transformer I presume?
asciilifeform: aye
kakobrekla: ok so this newlisp is slow as fuck even if they claim otherwise.
asciilifeform: 'newlisp' is the 'feathercoin' of lisps
kakobrekla: is it?
kakobrekla: no clue
kakobrekla: had high hopes at first glance
asciilifeform: author started by pissing all over every single advance in the history of the language - starting with lexical scope, moving on to compiler, etc
asciilifeform: but, 'new' !
kakobrekla: other things but 'new' attracted me, but whatever.
kakobrekla: i found something else to waste time on
decimation: the 'trick' is the airgapped shunt that causes the secondary to saturate, thus causing the output voltage to remain in a narrow range. It's interesting to me that this has been known since 1940, is ideal for computers, and is apparently mostly unknown amoung computer users
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: vaguely relevant ancient thread: http://scottlocklin.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/not-all-programmers-alike/#comment-3674
assbot: Not all programmers are alike: a language rant | Locklin on science
asciilifeform: decimation: it is very, very well known among computer users. behind the 'iron curtain.' ☟︎
decimation: "management" in the west would hate the buzzing
asciilifeform: decimation: the pill against the buzz is to lock the thing in a closet
decimation: yeah, wires exist for a reason I guess.
asciilifeform: decimation: your mains step-down transformer would also be quite audible if you were to take it off the pole and bring it in your living room.
decimation: I'm interested in the lightning suppression, I live in a lightning-prone area and I want to take precautions against harm. I'm not convinced by the "protect" LED in cheapass MOV devices
asciilifeform: CVTs are still used in places where equipment costs $maxint. i personally ordered one installed in a lab where i once worked.
asciilifeform: (we were getting transients from a newly installed gigantic air conditioner)
asciilifeform: quite a few of the units you'll find on 'ebay' are labeled 'minicomputer transformer.' so, i imagine they were shipped with pdp and vax.
asciilifeform: if your computer costs serious dough, a $1k power filter is small change.
decimation: yeah, that's the kind of device where you want to shop "ebay local"
asciilifeform: that or 'free ship'
decimation: lol I bet it costs $1 to ship from hong kong

xmj: jurov: ansible ?
Naphex: why would you do anything on a hypervisor you don't control is beyond me.
pankkake: because it's THE CLOUD
Naphex: you can even skip thinking that anything stored there is secure. cause everything is available to the hypervisor and who runs it
xmj: Do you run a binary linux distribution like Fedora/EL6,7/Centos, Debian, Ubuntu, ...?
Naphex: your ram, your encryption, your keys, your storage, your IRQs
Naphex: i compile from source on verified sum packages
fluffypony: I'm moving all of my sites on to iCloud
fluffypony: I'll be writing them in Swift
Naphex: then snapshot that and use it to clone servers
Apocalyptic: fluffypony, sounds like a win
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: yeah it's really going to save me having to learn JavaScript and using Node, that seemed way too complicated
fluffypony: although I hear mongoDB is the best database because even CoinBase uses it
Naphex: "Objective-C without the baggage of C."
Naphex: so..
Naphex: http://regmedia.co.uk/2014/06/02/swift_benchmark.jpg i like it how they beat python in it trololol
jurov: xmj when on every machine is potentially different distro, and even roles of the machines are different?
Apocalyptic: and they chose on the most used crypto algorithm today... behold RC4
Apocalyptic: *one
pankkake: why would you use a different distro?
jurov: because they don't offer the one i want?
pankkake: oh, well, that sucks
pankkake: though yes I don't use Gentoo on VPSes
jurov: but it has some sweet upsides, part of coinbr infrastructure is down all the time, i can fix it later when I have the time
jurov: nobody noticed so far :)
Naphex: well, it shouldn't be down in the first place
jurov: well, since the part(s) running mpexagent is/are at physically hardly accessible place
jurov: some redundance is in order
jurov: are your keys physically inaccessible at secret locations, naphex?
Naphex: jurov: what keys?
jurov: coinbr needs gpg keys to trade on mpex, obv
jurov: and they must be online
penguirker: New blog post: http://www.bcoinnews.com/knc-neptune-20nm-wafers-headed-packaging/
jurov: so i had to hide them behind some layers... and using physical machines for all of them whould prohibitively expensive

Naphex: everything is physical, on _owned_ hardware in special datacenters.
jurov: good for you
xe4l: I dont't understand the need for special datacenters
Naphex: well, don't know how much of a need it is
jurov: =DCs protected by specnaz
xe4l: unless your saying private colo, as in you alone have physical access
xmj: jurov: saltstack is brilliant if you want a master/client setup with at least one master configuring multiple clients
xe4l: otherwise an EQ or whatever is equally good
Naphex: but having datacenters with qualified professinals and an actuall account manger. + guarded access to the datacenter
Naphex: also you don't want shitty datacenter support running with your hard drives
xmj: Naphex: I like owned hardware. Co-location and self-owning is factually less expensive. but you'll have to maintain the hardware, which can suck.
Naphex: so you better make sure if its serious you pick a very good datacenter, with protection and other several high profile customers
xe4l: can always get a cage at EQ and swap the locks out
Naphex: xmj: if you pick good hardware and balance rightly there is not that much maintainance
Naphex: i mean replace and ocassional broken drive every year or so
fluffypony: xmj: please don't be sexist
fluffypony: master/slave is bad terminology
xmj: Naphex: yep, but definitely more so than when you outsource that whole thing to someone.
Naphex: and deprecate/switch some servers
xe4l: The trick is to have your dynamic capacity all on the cloud and use the hardware for things requring a high degree of trust
xmj: Naphex: obviously depends on your biz model.
Naphex: i mean, if you're making dough
xmj: if you're interested in building infrastructure, that's different
Naphex: you better hire a sysadmin
Naphex: and some coders and a designer
Naphex: to maintain your shit
Naphex: or just quit or sell it or whatever
Naphex: no point in delusioning yourself forever with outsourcing, and clouds, and virtual stuff
xmj: Naphex: we're in 2014 ☟︎
xmj: clouds and virtual stuff _just works_ and has been for five years.
xmj: sysadmins are called 'devops engineers'
Naphex: well thats just washy washy
Naphex: too me it just sounds like lazy developers and lazy bussiness owners
Naphex: who just want to run their shit without every thinking about anything
Naphex: and meanwhile profiting
pankkake: the fact is that devops don't understand the first thing about unix
pankkake: my time at devops events = oh my god what am i doing here
Naphex: yes the webdevel generation
xe4l: there's a large disparity in the skillset of people with a devops
pankkake: it usually works fine until it doesn't
jurov: Naphex you do everything properly and they you get forced to surrender ssl cert to cloudflare anyway
jurov: upo thread of expulsion from the dc
Naphex: jurov: i've never heard of threat of explusion from dc, and if you get that just move. louzy dc
pankkake: that wasn't trolling?
Naphex: a dc should have proper ddos mitigations, and solutions for ddos/dos. and the worst case scenario they should cut your upstream
xe4l: I've never heard of that
Naphex: and recover after that
jurov: you have such dc in romania?
xe4l: Naphex: maybe if your dealing with bottom rate providers, why not build your own edge instead of using whatever blended they have
Naphex: jurov: yes
Naphex: i am very happy with my dc, they have everything <3
pankkake: but do they have clouds?
Naphex: nowadays yeah
Naphex: my AM tried to sell me some cloud :)
Naphex: i told him to shove it
Naphex: but i still doubt they sell any cloud
Naphex: most of their customers are banks, and all kinds of srsfolk
pankkake: do romanians pronounce cloud in funny ways too?
fluffypony: butt
Naphex: caca
Naphex: cacacloud
pankkake: lol
Naphex: i mean, hey if you want some virtualizing buy 10 servers, host some hypervisor

assbot: Clouds - Radical Cutting Methods - YouTube
fluffypony: my biggest gripe with the cloud
fluffypony: is that a VPS of any measurably decent performance
fluffypony: costs me the same as a dedi box
xe4l: not really
Naphex: i mean whats this thing about costs nowadays
xe4l: there are quite a few inexpensive cloud providers
fluffypony: xe4l: oversold resources cannot compete with dedicated resources
Naphex: or just everyone poor?:)
mircea_popescu: am i the only one that most enjoys writing dismissal letters of all the letter types there are ?
Naphex: 200eur/month for 32GBram sever, with 32 cores, and some fast storage
Naphex: run your shit forever
mircea_popescu: not even ransom notes are this much fun
xe4l: agreed, but that's not the use case of virtual servers really
xe4l: I wouldn
xe4l: run my main db on a vps, but I would run a bunch of read slaves, web servers, etc
xe4l: things I wanted to rapidly scale based upon demand
mircea_popescu: dub: im struggling with how this person is profiting from all this manip^HHHrket making << i don't see how it could be a single person, it makes no sense
mircea_popescu: also it's ^H^H^H
mircea_popescu: hi xe4l. who are you ?
xe4l: I doubt theres a single site in the alexa top 250 that runs purely off of cloud without basically purchasing the equiv of a physical box, eg: AWS provisioned vps
fluffypony: xe4l: last year I had to reindex a large database table (a necessary evil occasionally). I thought to offload it to a VPS provider, Linode or DigitalOcean or someone, so as to avoid needing to choke my db server. Needless to say, 12 hours in they shitcanned the VPS slice because of "excessive resource usage".
xe4l: friend of joecool, infosec/nix/network/etc person
fluffypony: so now if I need something like that I just fire up http://www.baremetalcloud.com and pay by the hour for a dedicated box to do the work
mircea_popescu: welcome.
xe4l: thank you
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, basically "the cloud" is just the new marketing gimmick, used to be "unmetered access shared servers" in 2004
fluffypony: yeah
mircea_popescu: get INFINITE BANDWIDTH for $5
xe4l: p.much
xe4l works for a very fast growing cloud hosting company
mircea_popescu: lmao
mircea_popescu: why in the hell.
mircea_popescu: *: Naphex recommends using dedicated servers instead of virtual anything. << im with him jurov. i would guess all the romanianz on the internet are with us. which means YOU ARE IN THE MINORITY. all of youse.

jurov: trouble parsing that statement
pankkake: I've had to read it twice
pankkake: ovh really did have infinite bandwidth but they were apparently looking for it
mircea_popescu: pankkake, economics are economics. i get that the large peering networks mostly peer for free, but that "free" is a hidden cost
mircea_popescu: (you must offer equal capacity, which has a carrying cost on the books
fluffypony: Darkcoin fanbois eventually back down when cornered and admit there's no cryptographic grounding: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2751e8/psa_dont_fall_for_darkcoins_deceiving_marketing/chxy4wv?context=5
assbot: Ozziecoin comments on PSA: Don't fall for Darkcoin's deceiving marketing and pump and dump. It's just a copy of CoinJoin (created by a Bitcoin core dev, for Bitcoin), and does not give perfect anonymity.
mircea_popescu: and even if you do make it huge, the ops will just start charging you for THEIR carry capacity, which you've now made a scarce resource through your managerial incompetence)
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, what i like is how "a core dev" is dropping the use of his actual name.
fluffypony: "Evan brings Darkcoin over 17 years of software development experience and an interest in artificial intelligence, financial markets and economics."
fluffypony: because when you want a cryptographically sound solution to anonymity
fluffypony: what you really want is a VB.net developer with an economics background
pankkake: that is 17 years old
mircea_popescu: jurov: so i had to hide them behind some layers... and using physical machines for all of them whould prohibitively expensive << actually the one secret in all of btc i;m most curious about is the complete schematics of the rat's nest jurov no doubt built.

fluffypony: ok so let me tell you about my new startup: it's going to be a one-click backup service called iWalletBackup. It will let you use Siri via raise-to-talk to back all your wallets up to iCloud. It's being written in Swift and will use mongoDB as a backend. It can scale nearly instantly because it will just fire up new AWS instances on-demand. Our development methodology is fail-fast-fail-often, where we'll write an iteration, and then once that
fluffypony: code has failed in production we'll shut the startup down, start a new one, buy the old one out, and then repeat. We call this Multi Startup Synergistic Prefailure, and it's inspired by the work of Tsukino Usagi.

fluffypony: great idea!
bitcoinpete: this will cut down on blockchain bloat

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm not too sure about it either. I like the idea that they mean an intruder would have to scour my junk in addition to the computing and electronic equipment. People who pay for manufactered solutions and their reasoning elludes me. Maybe the husk of a Cascius has some collectible value?
dub: similar(ly stupid) ideas about spending them after fiat collapses as metals probably, libertardation
BingoBoingo: Any thing physical I may or may not do with individual private keys would probably be part of a rats nest strategy to avoid ever being completely robbed.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this is not unlike the psychology of the folks who buy books on 'how to hide things'
asciilifeform: (which, if read literally, amount to a 'what not to do')

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Seems that way. I dunno why properly concealed physically stored private key could not be a viable option for the post-rectothermal healthcare fund.
mike_c: would not rectothermal analysis provide the location of the stored key?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the typical rectothermal session involves separation from one's worldly goods

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 29400 @ 0.00086456 = 25.4181 BTC [+] {2}
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Definitely in terms of "wallet mining"
asciilifeform: a successfully 'mined' brainwallet is... a failed iq test.
BingoBoingo: And then there's also the problem of "place can have problems too"
asciilifeform: if herr torquemada is working on you, your wallet is lost, regardless of what kind (only real countermeasure is cyanide tooth or the like.)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Tooth must be dangerously fragile though, so one can have a standoff end with a swift movement of the tongue.
asciilifeform: actually, one possible technological countermeasure is: to carry around some gizmo that will transmit a transaction moving your coin to a trusted confederate, when the pin is pulled.
asciilifeform: easier said than done, though.
asciilifeform: (if you actually want to do this: have multiple allies, shamir-split a key, then set 'dead man switch' that broadcasts the magic tx if you fail to reset it for x days, etc)

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Even if that isn't what's actually done, that may be the best thing to have people believe is being done.

moiety: BingoBoingo: moiety: You have to remember you have blog too nao. << it's not mine though, I might start one, i'm seeing more things all the time i'd like to collate together
asciilifeform: i'll point out that it helps to have a clear picture of what your objective will be once you're hanging upside-down in torquemada's workshop.
asciilifeform: is it to persuade him to turn you loose? to transfer your coin to your fellow partizans asap, because you are certain to perish anyway? some other goal?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Reasonable option seems to be dead man switch sends the coins to Mugabe
asciilifeform: the 'only winning move,' of course, is 'not to play' - reducing your chances of ending up in that position in the first place, through convincing deterrent (or quick legs!)
jurov: turnig yourself in preventively to the right party
asciilifeform: the fine art of surrender.
asciilifeform: [insert obligatory barb at the french here]
BingoBoingo: You die, coins go to party inquisitor finds despicable. Simply hope the CIA isn't a frenemy of theirs and wants to fund them.
asciilifeform: there's definitely room for a 'dead hand' service/product.
asciilifeform: ;;google dead hand
gribble: Dead Hand (nuclear war) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Hand_(nuclear_war)>; Dead Hand - Zelda Wiki: <http://zeldawiki.org/Dead_Hand>; Inside the Apocalyptic Soviet Doomsday Machine - Wired: <http://www.wired.com/politics/security/magazine/17-10/mf_deadhand?currentPage=all>

BingoBoingo: With varying aims.

asciilifeform automatically recalls an ancient sf story about a very unlucky immortal fellow, who goes from dungeon to dungeon, ending up at torquemada's, the gestapo, on and on...
jurov: BingoBoingo you're preparing for the PARC or whatever colombia revolutionary movement encounter?

jurov: i'm not sure they'll understand fine points of such complicated strategy as "i die, money goes to cia"
jurov: "okay, we'll use your corpse to extort cia"
asciilifeform: think of how funny it'd be, setting up elaborate dead man switch, then captured by a fellow who just wants to sell your organs.
jurov: or slipping up home in the bathroom
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I think at that point you have to play the Hannibal card and try purchasing organs yourself.
BingoBoingo: I'm also rather sure my organs aren't the sort to fetch top dollar
asciilifeform: deterrence weapon naturally doesn't make you immortal - the best possible use of it is to cool the enthusiasm of folks who'd like to hasten the inevitable.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There was this Simpsons episode back in the day where it was revealed the elderly hero had the gift of immortality to the sheer number of terminal diseases he had forming a sort of homeostasis sustaining him.
asciilifeform: my organs aren't the sort to fetch top dollar << the 'i own just the shirt on my back' defense worked pretty well historically. if the enemy finds it convincing.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'll have to manage to keep a thick stench of cigarettes and booze sweat through the Darien.
asciilifeform: however, the reason why it is customary to sit a captured wretch on an anthill, or the like, without first inquiring about his assets, is that in such a situation the definition of 'assets' expands to everything the victim could potentially beg/borrow/steal ☟︎
asciilifeform: as described in an old book, 'how to collect illegal debts' (actual title)

BingoBoingo: I'd suck if they sent me back to 'Murica full of cocaine baloons
moiety: here, booze sweat is just a beer jacket: keeps you warm but it's not warm enough to sweat
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in the textbook 'rectothermal cryptoanalysis' of '90s russia, the purpose of the soldering iron was typically to help the 'patient'... 'remember' not only the locations of hidden goodies, but also places where he might yet be able to borrow/steal.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Assuming they don't want library books... Probably going to get drafted as a drug mule.
asciilifeform: i'd assume that a 'mule' gets an (unarmed) 'helper,' who ensures that he can't cough up the payload ahead of schedule.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'd assume so as well. Probably also a reception party.
