asciilifeform: ^ self-explanatory
PeterL: I feel like I need an explanation, wth are they doing?
asciilifeform: *auto-ban
asciilifeform: this is not only annoying but is a ddos vector of a kind.
PeterL: ddos how?
asciilifeform: log bloat
mike_c: so turn off join/part notifications?
asciilifeform: why should i
asciilifeform: 'doctor, arm hurts.' 'here, let me saw off'
PeterL: lol
mike_c: 'doctor, arm hurts' 'ok, i will build robotic arm for you'
PeterL: add culprits to ignore list?
mike_c: auto-ban seems harsh for something that may not be intentional
asciilifeform: may not be intentional << i might care if it were an actual person
PeterL: but according to gavin, disk space doubles every year, so you should not worry about bloat!!!1!
mike_c: if assbot autobans though, it may be actual person next time
asciilifeform: as it is, it's one of the silent remoras that may just as well be the ddosbot
danielpbarron: it's the same message over and over so it should compress well :p
mike_c: but, i am biased as i have join/part turned off.
danielpbarron: hey that was a different quit message; i think he got the message
PeterL: does log bloat count as ddos? it is not really denying you services?
danielpbarron: if my hard drive gets full it does

assbot: Logged on 10-02-2015 02:58:05; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, BingoBoingo, cazalla, other writery folks: anybody up for writing a basic likbez for the 'unified theory' of amplification attack as it applies not only to boring ddos but to gavincoin and in general to any system where some bozo can inflict cost C on you by spending c where c < C
asciilifeform: ^ mircea_popescu thought that this was obvious and doesn't need a likbez. turns out he was wrong ?
asciilifeform: PeterL: ddos vectors are about potentials.
PeterL: I guess it would be different with a concered attack rather than one idiot with a bad connection
PeterL: s/concered/concerted
asciilifeform: idiot with bad connection gives ideas to malicious idiots with many good connections.
PeterL: so you are suggesting putting in a join/part cap autoban now, to stop potental attacks in the future?
asciilifeform: just putting the concept on kako's radar.
asciilifeform: (assuming it wasn't already somewhere down on the list)
danielpbarron: maybe a command similar to !down that requires a few people to initiate
PeterL: !kick ?
asciilifeform: PeterL: idiot can rejoin after kick
asciilifeform: has to be a ban
danielpbarron: or maybe the reverse; assbot autobans, and if it was a mistake someone can !unban
asciilifeform: ^
asciilifeform: exempt folks in wot, these must face actual judgement of their peers
asciilifeform: but for remoras - the swiftest possible discipline.
PeterL: maybe if kicked then assbot also bans for n minutes? (n=30?)
danielpbarron: kick is such a silly irc command
PeterL: remora: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remora
assbot: Remora - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1EcfnYk )
asciilifeform: yes, them.
PeterL: nice name
asciilifeform: the suction cup fish.
PeterL: I like the imagery
decimation: asciilifeform: I second request for the likbez, would be useful to link
decimation: re: ddos < last night I noticed my internet had been taken offline by ISP, and I wonder if somehow the ddos'er can hack cloaks
asciilifeform: decimation: are you entirely certain that your client did not disconnect & auto-rejoin ?
asciilifeform: decimation: cloak tends to go to pieces in that situation
decimation: no it was disconnected at the modem
asciilifeform: yes, but prior to that
decimation: it's possible, I don't log closely
asciilifeform: and, disconnected how? had to open a service ticket with isp ?
decimation: well, I have a dsl modem with shitty chinese firmware
decimation: in its 'status' page it said "DSL Connected" but "Internet Disconnected"
decimation: I'm pretty sure "internet disconnected" meant that the pppoe session was down
decimation is sad that ppp is used over a perfectly 8-bit clean channel
asciilifeform: may as well also be said about tcp over lan, where no packet ought to ever drop unless the place is on fire...
decimation: good point.
decimation: there's plenty of shitgnomery in telco deployments

danielpbarron: decimation, ^
decimation: danielpbarron: yes, it is amazing that nobody has done this

mircea_popescu: i can almost feel this coming, you know, by 2018 it will be "these ukrainian rebels that did ATROCITIES!!! that russia invented!"
PeterL: in Ukraine the rebels are terrists
mircea_popescu: PeterL not those rebels, the other rebels. the derps in kiev.
mircea_popescu: this is my ukrainian prediction : that before the decade is out a) kiev will be widely reported to have run atrocious concentration camps and b) the us/nato will be misrepresenting themselves as "against this" and russia as somehow related to it.
asciilifeform: sop.
mircea_popescu: i have never known of a militaristic regime that was frustrated in the field / widely inept military that didn't start massacring civillians.
mircea_popescu: it's like the loser husband with a smal penis - always beats the wife.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kiev's been grinding up civvies in industrial quantities for most of a year.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i know. i'm the one with the intel.
asciilifeform: via shellings, rather than gasenwagen, but quite deliberately
mircea_popescu: but somehow the us propaganda machine seems to have never heard of this.
asciilifeform: it isn't any kind of secret
asciilifeform: except from anglos
asciilifeform: 'ESL'
asciilifeform: anyone who gives a fuck can get a live video feed of the 'fun'
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude, i seem to have missed the 500 headlines a day about how kiev is atrocious.
mircea_popescu: perhaps because of all the derpage about "women slave markets in the middle east"
mircea_popescu: (if anyone's going send me a coupla cherchez chicks too)
mircea_popescu: or how do you call it, Карача́ево
asciilifeform: kiev 'idea' was 'let's shell'em a bit and they'll pack up to ru, then we get cities, factories that we had no part in building, gratis, free of ru speakers, we can settle in our west ua orcs'
PeterL: I have a friend from Crimea, he still has family there, says they are all grateful to Putin for saving them from the fate of the rest of Ukraine
asciilifeform has blood relations there, ditto
mircea_popescu: PeterL this would be the general sentiment.
PeterL: mircea_popescu: but this sentiment is not reflected in the US press

mircea_popescu: decimation problem is chinese military has way more money.
decimation: if they became 'independent' they would just become someone else's bitch
mircea_popescu: ask anyone working for military tech, they'll tell you 2/3 to 90% of the chinese performance is due to "Stable financing"
mircea_popescu: decimation if they're going to be a bitch they might as well suck the shorter, better paying cock.
asciilifeform: another factor is that the 'middle kingdom' has yet to invent the modern military golden toilet.
decimation: I don't think the us military would give up hawaii without an actual war
mircea_popescu: o rly ?
mircea_popescu: lose 6 of the 10 aircraft carriers ?
decimation: of course, if they are too poor to pay anyone...
PeterL: it is a strategic navy port
mircea_popescu: and about 50 to 70% of the rest of the fleet ?
mircea_popescu: if they do that russia can simply move into poland. or japan.
decimation: nah, the prc doesn't really have a blue water navy
mircea_popescu: i wonder, which way they;'d go.
mircea_popescu: decimation it has missiles capable of bridging to hawaii just fine.
mircea_popescu: it's kinda close to them
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: would you take jp? and for what ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would not take either.
decimation: I don't think china has the balls to start a missile war with usg
asciilifeform: pl makes a great nuke waste dump
asciilifeform: just like latvia
mircea_popescu: so does japan nowadays :D
asciilifeform: jp is full
mircea_popescu: but that's "why" : let the engineers move to st petersburg.
mircea_popescu: let the social studies experts rot in tokyo
asciilifeform: is jp long on 'experts' ?
mircea_popescu: kind-of.
decimation: now, the problem that usg has is that in 30 years, they might not be able to pay for missiles or soldiers
asciilifeform: decimation: they're working on a smooth transition to straight inca mode
mircea_popescu: decimation if the chinese shock the market (putting obama in the position of putin), they won't have what to pay for limo gasoline with.
decimation emits parse error
mircea_popescu: the entire non-"government shutdown" is predicated on rolling debt at 0.2% or less.
mircea_popescu: this can not happen without chinese aquiescence.
decimation: yes indeed
decimation: well, china is actually a fairly small owner of usg debt
mircea_popescu: if the chinese go 8% or fuck you, that's the end of paying. for anything.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of "Debt ceiling" anymore.
mircea_popescu: yes, but it's a fairly major player in the financial markets.

decimation: liberals think now, they would say 'that's not a problem'
asciilifeform: so usg will move to straight command economy.
mircea_popescu: sure, it's not a problem. but there's no paying for anything either.
decimation: the fed will just print more bezzlars and loan them at whatever rate is our choosing
asciilifeform: 'inca empire'
PeterL: at that point they will need to speed up the presses and hyperinflate out of debt
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it would last for what, 18 months ?
asciilifeform: the incas carried on considerably longer than that...
asciilifeform: will chug on until the conquistadores show up.
decimation: asciilifeform: what does usg have to compel a trade?
mircea_popescu: the incas carried out considerably longer on that principally because they weren't trying to keep carriers afloat.
mircea_popescu: that takes money.
asciilifeform: takes slaves.
asciilifeform: usg - has plenty.
decimation: not to mention keeping old people & minorities in free living
mircea_popescu: only provided they're allowed to roll debt.
asciilifeform: slaves to crew the boat, pull the hydrocarbons out of the ground, everything in between.

asciilifeform: eventually
mircea_popescu: within years.
asciilifeform: aha
mircea_popescu: well... not much of a plan is it.
PeterL: what would you do with a destroyer?
asciilifeform isn't usg vizier, isn't paid to plan
asciilifeform only observes.
mircea_popescu: PeterL i dunno, shoot porn on it.
mircea_popescu: take it to venezuela and bombard the capital.
asciilifeform: it'd make a good slave galley
asciilifeform: fit oars
mircea_popescu: bwahahahaha
mircea_popescu: ok wtf oar fitted aegis class destroyer.
asciilifeform: that's what i always wanted to see
asciilifeform: it doesn't have to actually move
decimation: actually the carriers and the entire dod welfare parade is only about 17% of the total usg spending
asciilifeform: but it would be grand to see old 'movers and shakers' of usg row until the end of their days.
mircea_popescu: decimation but it's about 50% of the spending that actually does something, you see.
decimation: yeah that's about right
mircea_popescu: the other 50% is spent on imaginary things that meet no pactical verification
mircea_popescu: like paper pushing
asciilifeform: if you want to see usg spending, visit the 'potomac' quarter of d.c. area, for example
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between "keeping boat afloat" and "correctly filing form GX-22"
decimation: well, most of that is simply stripping people with money and giving it to 'deserving groups'
decimation: of that 17%, probably only about 10-20% of that is actually 'keeping boat afloat'
asciilifeform: at this point, virtually anyone living like 'upper middle class' and above in usa, is usg spending personified
decimation: asciilifeform: you mean potomac, maryland?
asciilifeform: (how? see tlp article)
asciilifeform: decimation: aha
mircea_popescu: the thing is, a destroyer "cost" a coupla bil, and will sell for what, 10-20k btc.
mircea_popescu: much like the russian leftovers.
asciilifeform: the mega-bezzle isn't simply buying carriers, it's buying countless yachts, mcmansions, etc

asciilifeform neither expert nor has access to the proper intel, however
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but if your corvee theory is correct, why exactly was it that one could buy rusting cccp subs on the open market in 1991 ?
mircea_popescu: why didn't the politburo just corvee it out ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ru folks had something to surrender to
asciilifeform: and they eagerly did.
mircea_popescu: greed ?
asciilifeform: that something didn't arrive with free 'levi' jeans and disneyland passes for everyone, no
asciilifeform: but the illusion was convincing enough
mircea_popescu: the us can surrender to the most serene republic
mircea_popescu: as i have told them to do already.
mircea_popescu: why not ?
mircea_popescu: i would accept fealty from a us puppet president, sure.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> -tyrants-in-order-to-suppress-it/#footnote_1_59300 ? << Likely, but possible drama independently agitated
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i blame both of you. thirty lashes. << o.O careful with that, sht hurts.
asciilifeform: surrender of ussr wasn't the least bit centered on the brass
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what triggered me was the 8chan pic. seeing how
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu knows this
mircea_popescu: !s 8chan
assbot: 6 results for '8chan' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=8chan
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but it was centered on the aspirational class. as typified by gorby.
BingoBoingo: Ah
asciilifeform: everybody from schoolboy in moscow to chukchas - surrendered
mircea_popescu: sure.
asciilifeform: everybody who drooled over the 'levis'
mircea_popescu: everybody drooled over THE WOT.
asciilifeform: was already surrendered
mircea_popescu: it wasn';t the levy's, not at all.
mircea_popescu: it was belonging. to what ?
mircea_popescu: to "the world"
mircea_popescu: which world ?
asciilifeform: to the 'human' (vs 'orc') world where they 'know how to live'
mircea_popescu: well... certainly no the 1920-1970 continuum
mircea_popescu: right. exactly.
asciilifeform: (a largely imagined animal, you pretty much have to have been there to grok this)
mircea_popescu: EXACTLY
mircea_popescu: so... how is la serenissima not exactly fit ?
asciilifeform: so who and where is drooling over wot ?
mircea_popescu: everyone i know.
asciilifeform: i mean, in the lands of barbarism
mircea_popescu: do the experiment yourself. ask peopel what the ideal world is.
mircea_popescu: notice what they express.
mircea_popescu: how they call it is irrelevant. note what they substantiall say.
asciilifeform: they're drooling over fast car, easy women, etc. - not wot

mircea_popescu: not that i've seen.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, women are easier than ever. and they're mostly affraid of them. why ?
asciilifeform: because they never learned to safely unscrew the detonator ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c: yeah, cazalla and BingoBoingo are getting it done. < +1
asciilifeform: (in usa they have secondary anti-handling detonators)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as far as they see it, because fucktarded politburo is poisonng gender relaitons.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly true, incidentally.
asciilifeform: that it is true is about the same kind of 'secret' as the 'missing $maxint'
mircea_popescu: right.
mircea_popescu: so yes, the reagent is there.
asciilifeform: thing is, unlike soviet 'line', usg does not have a universally (or even widely) subscribed to opposite.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform most importantly : note that at the time they surrendered en masse, less than 1% of 1% had BEEN THERE
mircea_popescu: right ?
mircea_popescu: they did it on hearsay. right ?
asciilifeform: yes
decimation: moldbug had a piece on this, then tried to invent some 'tarded 'antiversity' thing
mircea_popescu: the matches are numerous.
asciilifeform: decimation: mr mold had enough brains to understand that his entire edifice falls apart without the answer to this riddle, but was unable to come up with a plausible one
asciilifeform: and instead crapped out - well - that
mircea_popescu: necessity is the mother of invention. and also, stupidity.
asciilifeform: and as far as 'man on the street' in usa is concerned - the opposite of usg is 'mad max'.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but the "man in the street" in russia STILL has batyushka portraits!
mircea_popescu: it wasn't the man in the street. it was EXACTLY the famished student.
mircea_popescu: the guy who has to choose between "VC shot" and "WoT"
decimation: eh, as long as everyone in the us has a full belly nothing is going to change
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: how much work to auto-kick join/part sp4mz0rz? << i occasionally do it, but meh.
mircea_popescu: decimation nobody was actually starving in russia in 1988
mircea_popescu: i mean that literally. nobody. more people were starving in new york than in russia.
decimation: yeah that's probably true
mircea_popescu: this was a major propaganda point (soviet propaganda had the unique distinction of actually being mostly true). nobody cared.

asciilifeform: and yet 'omg111!111! levis'
mircea_popescu: right ?
mircea_popescu: so that's not a major driver of the behaviour.
mircea_popescu: also, it was plainly apparent to everyone in 88 that yes, 93 will be starving
mircea_popescu: NOBODY CARED.
mircea_popescu: even the people who could readily realise it'd be them, didn't care.
asciilifeform: took 50+ years of 24/7 massage

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski basically what i see is a cargo cult generation. if you've ever seen monty python's twit of the year sketch that's basiclaly the idea.
mircea_popescu: their grandparents were pretty cool. their parents rather mediocre. now they're fucked in the head.

mircea_popescu: "no cars in town" is not a bad idea.

ben_vulpes: they're brutal on the roads.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: that's like saying "the car is a horrid invention because i don't like windoze"
ben_vulpes: roads themselves aren't expensive, nor the maintenance thereof but rather the wear and tear from 2-ton tardboxes
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski right. those twits ? their dad was nobody, some anon derp with, as orwell put it, "Well-meaning, over-civilized men, in dark suits and black felt hats, with neatly rolled umbrellas crooked over the left forearm, were imposing their constipated view of life"

ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: well i exaggerate for btclulz. clearly *you* are deserving of your mercs and what have you, but the state of every pleb in their own plastic wheelbox has got to go.
ben_vulpes: and yes, the "computer" as a modern invention (from the c machine on forwards to the consumer laptop) is an entirely awful fork in the technological roadmap.
ben_vulpes: see previous thread about "wake me when compute costs 1btc/hr".
pete_dushenski: well i'm hardly going to disagree that everyone getting something "just as good" makes the whole lot of us worse off
mircea_popescu: soo... slavedrawn mercs ?
pete_dushenski: no cars in town is a perfectly sensible idea in most parts of the world
pete_dushenski: lol well the thing drinks like 30L/100km so that's a lot of (indirect) slave labour from the oil sands up north
ben_vulpes: for all that it's a communist paradise, portland does get this right. lots of super annoying stop lights on major thoroughfares throughout the east side.
ben_vulpes: east side being mostly residential, mostly small streets.
pete_dushenski: iirc there was a german city that was going to all-out ban cars in the city centre
pete_dushenski: a sizeable city it was
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's the wrong approach imo.
mircea_popescu: like the fucking speed bumps.
pete_dushenski: as to whether this works in the populated arctic... i dunno
mircea_popescu: i don't need to be jostled just because sopme other fuckhead can't drive at his speed.
pete_dushenski: ah, it was hamburg
pete_dushenski: and it aims to be car-free in the city centre... by 2034
pete_dushenski: which is reasonable given that in 20 years the serene republic will own it as a summer resort ;)
mircea_popescu: except this is a naked problem of power. i would be ok with a "no cars" town in which i personally can drive if i feel like.
mircea_popescu: i will not be ok with a "no cars" town in which the fucking mayor/police/you get to drive if you feel like
mircea_popescu: and by "not ok" i mean i will fucking shoot you over it.
mircea_popescu: this being a bit of a problem, practically.
pete_dushenski: well imagine that there will be "no car" rules in most major cities in 20 years
mircea_popescu: in the sense of "no cars for you"
pete_dushenski: and that #b-a badges and #b-a plates will roam the streets freely
mircea_popescu: which yes, it has to happen, because most "major cities" are inhabited by... twits.
pete_dushenski: because no city mayor/police/etc can very well stand in the way of the leaders of the free world
mircea_popescu: "Marching gets our message out." No it doesn't, it gets CNN's message out. "We don't watch CNN, we use the internet."
