assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 02:56:57; asciilifeform: incidentally, zoolag is under heavy and modestly-clever ddos
asciilifeform: this plus the fact that there is no meaningful collateral damage
asciilifeform: because a 'cloud' node is a pseudonode.
thestringpuller: and a node run on hardware in a datacenter is not?
asciilifeform: not normally, no.
ben_vulpes: and you propose to identify all such virtualized nodes somehow?
ben_vulpes: what next, rackspace?
mircea_popescu: no, he just proposes to whack some more obvious ones.
ben_vulpes: "enumerating badness"
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: by no means. but why permit known and exhaustively-catalogued rubbish ?
asciilifeform: presently it is the most pestilential variety of rubbish
asciilifeform: on account of the 'easy & cheap'
thestringpuller: easy yes, cheap no.
ben_vulpes: notrly the latter.
mircea_popescu: i actually support throwing a spoke or three in the expectation of jwz that "struff works"
asciilifeform: when rackspace starts handing out vm to reddit k00l d00dz for a penny/hour, i'll ban it.
mircea_popescu: a lot more of this "oh, you're on aws ? well... you can't do X" stuff is sorely needed.
asciilifeform: ^^^
mircea_popescu: time to turn the tables on the golum.
mircea_popescu: or as that kid aptly said (in american history X), "on the internet, YOU'RE the nigger."
thestringpuller: didn't that kid end up getting shot/stabbed in the bathroom?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the correct 'non-enumerative badness' expression is, ultimately, 'don't give cpu cycles out to all-comers'
asciilifeform: but we aren't there yet.
thestringpuller: well i guess I'm moving my nodes to google cloud

mircea_popescu: haha were you on aws ?
thestringpuller: one of my nodes was.
thestringpuller: well the "working" one.
mircea_popescu: honestly, you're better off getting a decent server you actually control for your node than getting a bunch of aws/such crap
thestringpuller: I have one in my basement.
thestringpuller: But it's being obstinent right now.
thestringpuller: I attempted to create an insane robot, and I succeeded.
mircea_popescu: hey, some people gotta get married for that.
asciilifeform: aws ban hammer enabled on all 3 of my nodez now.
asciilifeform: oh!
asciilifeform: and!
asciilifeform: doing this will keep the turd nodez out of the addr.db
asciilifeform: and has effect beyond one particular node.

mircea_popescu: aha
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell mod6 my pleasure and thanks for the correction. i was confusing december 19th entries, it seems. i've updated that section of the trb timeline accordingly.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform ben_vulpes et al. i also found an even ~earlier~ mention by mircea_popescu of the "0.6.x is the last useable version" line in the sand : http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2014#499837 ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2014 03:43:52; mircea_popescu: the resultant mess is unusable past about 0.6.x or thereabouts, for these reasons.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla et al: zoolag is back.

ben_vulpes: and yet somehow trb forked from 0.5.3
pete_dushenski unwraps present, finds that, indeed, sunstein is the rattle he heard in the box
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: pretty sure he brought it up in 2013 not long after i started reading
asciilifeform: 'Qt uses C++ with signals and slotsxiv to provide a cross-platform application framework for, essentially, illiterate amateurs.' << unfortunately this is not so
asciilifeform: it is the ~only~ remaining working cross-platform native-widget graphic lib for cpp.
asciilifeform: (there is/was also 'wx' but it is a shambles)
pete_dushenski: duly noted.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: you know what version was actually released by the phoundation in june 2012, your requested vintage ? 0.6.3
pete_dushenski: 0.5.3 was released in march 2012
ben_vulpes: so?
pete_dushenski: https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.5.3 https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.6.3
assbot: Bitcoin-Qt version 0.5.3 released ... ( http://bit.ly/1NPwG5I )
assbot: Bitcoin-Qt version 0.6.3 released ... ( http://bit.ly/1NPwDH8 )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i think pete_dushenski was trying to write a history of trb ?
asciilifeform: (premature, imho, but whatever)
pete_dushenski: bitcoin compresses time.
pete_dushenski: 1.25 years of development of trb is equivalent to multiples of that in row
asciilifeform: l0l
ben_vulpes: anyways, the point remains. mircea_popescu did not select 0.5.3 as the root fork point.
asciilifeform: does anybody else find it lulzy that there are actually 2 trb's ?
ben_vulpes: if you read the surrounding lines (http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-10-2014#885543, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-10-2014#885551, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-10-2014#885552) the technical nature of the question in question may become apparent. ☝︎☝︎☝︎

pete_dushenski: one pdp, one unixbox
asciilifeform: (though who knows whether his phriendz who worked on mircea_popescucoin may also be lurking)
ben_vulpes: i'd love to hear how he got the mysterious, yes phriendz, rolled in.
ben_vulpes: mostly to dismiss my own hypotheses
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: they're prlly bound by omerta
ben_vulpes: well ofc
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: btw didja see the link to your summary of changes article ?
ben_vulpes: oh it /was/ in there the first time?

pete_dushenski: who do you think i am ?
ben_vulpes: i saw material factual mistakes and kinda checked out.
ben_vulpes: did you include a link to my version of the same piece that you wrote?
pete_dushenski: mnope. that one has a larger breadth than contravex trb timleline part i could handle. maybe in part ii.

ben_vulpes: ah no. nm. all my dumb ass.
phf: paste text to b-a-paste, manually post url to log, unless post is in the logs, it's auto expired after n hours
ben_vulpes: more state, huh?
phf: yeah, basically requires you to periodically pull kako logs, but that does close the "open to mob" hole
phf: it's a pretty laid back option though, you're basically accepting as much third party crud as any regular paste service, but there's a gc that ties the whole thing to log, and culls the turds

mircea_popescu: phf iirc dpaste expire in a week anyway
ben_vulpes: you can get it to do up to a year
kakobrekla: by default, max is 1 year
kakobrekla: anyway space is cheap these days.
mircea_popescu: so it is.
phf: i think it's ascii's purity concern, rather then space as such. why host someone else's graffiti, etc. ☟︎
kakobrekla: allocate 1% of the blockchain size and you are good for many years.

assbot: Logged on 25-12-2015 23:15:12; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: part of the appeal of running a 'pastebin' ~is~ the crud dropped in by the mob. for instance, there is a long tradition of dropping 0days and leaked misc crud on pastebin.
ben_vulpes: this is an argument for filtering the seawter for gold.
ben_vulpes: seawater*
kakobrekla: and it makes the immutability depended on assbot
kakobrekla: dependent
kakobrekla: anyway off to bed.
ben_vulpes: wall scribblings meant for the ages should to into deedbot-, no?
asciilifeform: and phf's idea doesn't require any complex state
asciilifeform: every 24h cron greps the day's log for a link to the post, if doesn't find - deletes.
asciilifeform: and anyone can post.
asciilifeform: (if ~does~ find - copies to perma-dir)

mircea_popescu: assbot puts out the archive.is thing, if anyone cliocks that, permadir.
mircea_popescu: if nobody clicks, whatever.
asciilifeform: i can't pipe text into archive.is from a shell !!
mircea_popescu: again : you put the link in the log
asciilifeform: LINK
mircea_popescu: assbot creates the archive link

mircea_popescu: da fuck namby bs is this.
asciilifeform wasn't trying to make the point that this item is direly necessary, but that phf's scheme is specifically the correct answer
mircea_popescu: it is also specifically what we already have.
asciilifeform: because it doesn't multiply the work i have to do 100x !!!
asciilifeform: we don't have it
asciilifeform: unless mircea_popescu wrote it and told everyone but me

ben_vulpes: for as long as archive.is continues to be a thing.
asciilifeform: the 'put wherever you want' IS A HUNDRED KEYPRESS OPERATION
asciilifeform: srsly
mircea_popescu: this is no different from "for as long as ben_vulpes' thing continues to be a thing", is it ? you're gonna commit your life to dpaste ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only because you want a certain standard. and iuf you do, it will be whether you host it or he hosts it.
mircea_popescu: and if you don't, it's not, for him or for you.
mircea_popescu: why do you imagine other people eating involves less chewing than you eating ?
asciilifeform: what the fuck is so hard to understand about wanting a sane version of dpaste ?
mircea_popescu: again : if you want logins, it'll take logins.
asciilifeform: specifically addressing points 1-4 but otherwise identical.
asciilifeform: no logins. just garbage collected.
mircea_popescu: if you want no-logins, you can make an anon ftp just as well
asciilifeform: ftp doesn't pipe
mircea_popescu shrugs. this is nonsense
mircea_popescu: wtf ftp doesn't pipe.
asciilifeform: can't ./foo.pl | ftp ...
mircea_popescu: so fix your box then.
asciilifeform: this is esp. lulzy in light of earlier thread where mircea_popescu raged at the notion of having to use a tool to read a contract
asciilifeform: instead of naked telex
mircea_popescu: you want to read the ftp ?
asciilifeform: i want to ./foo | curl blah

mircea_popescu: ok so what's the problem ?

mircea_popescu: "does this shit even work" was, for the record, a very general inquiry.

ben_vulpes: and in the general case, no.
mircea_popescu: fancy that it'd split one word but not the other, also. what a spicy adventure.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i still dunno how you figure someone ELSE is going to implement this thing for you, but anyway.

asciilifeform: you're seeing word boundaries
asciilifeform: as in machine word
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's whatg i mean.
asciilifeform: use -C plox
mircea_popescu: it just so happened that the boundary split the 0a from the 0d in the 2nd case but not in the first, so as to appear matching what i put in there.
mircea_popescu: this was one of 4 possible rolls of that dice.
asciilifeform: put more - or fewer - letters, you'll see different split
mircea_popescu: of course.
asciilifeform: it is artifact of your byte count
mircea_popescu: still, 1:4 odds for it to fall this way.
