mircea_popescu: you can't sue someone FOR THAT roflmao. what's these shits imagine, that they're in power or something ?
mircea_popescu would much prefer a davout -run liquidation. at least it'd establish the item's true value. which, i suspect, is somewhere south of 80 btc.
shinohai: I'm flabbergasted too. Last time I checked you could still bankroll whoever you wanted to.
mircea_popescu: "tortious interference" and "racketeering", get a load of that.
shinohai: I guess it is an attempt to plug sinking ship with ice cubes.
mircea_popescu: more like a "we own this land and fuck you" sorta argument, "it's illegal for you to help the people we don't like".
mircea_popescu: except that works when i do it, and who the fuck is gawker.
shinohai: American public must have shit journalism to read. Not like they care for much else besides sensationalism.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "looking into" thing is pure ridiculous. the usual fare of gawker, "throw shit at the wall because anyone reading is too stupid to distinguish their mouth and asshole anyway"
shinohai: I thought I was looking at a video of Alabama there for a minute until I saw Chinese writing.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if the defeated hillary will sue trump for "allienation of affection" lmao
mircea_popescu: incididentally BingoBoingo : does qntra not publish trackbacks or just didn't get ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> incididentally BingoBoingo : does qntra not publish trackbacks or just didn't get ? << Does not recieve trackbacks in a meaningful way. Entire xml-rpc was excised because fuck Mullenweg
BingoBoingo: Prolly, in same way jaded city dweller "listens" to the ambient noise.
BingoBoingo: Trackbacks between sites were nice while they lasted, but as noted on Trilema this piece of the shitfrasctructure was fired in anger.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-11 15:43 mircea_popescu: what's he care
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo trilema works ok with trackbacks, but i guess it's one of the few.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: But at what cognitive cost? Certainly a greater one than simply removing the entirety of the xml-rpc and turds therein.
mircea_popescu: not like i'm doing anything ; there's the antispam thing that's documented in an article ; also the xml-rpc hardening idem documented. that's about it. haven't touched any of it in years.
BingoBoingo: Literally this involves simply deleting a file called "xml-rpc.php" One keystroke for great justice.
mircea_popescu: (the cameras were installed in the first place by old woman wanting to know wtf her hens are so fucking noisy at night)
shinohai: Takes "choking your chicken" to a new level.
mircea_popescu: so here's what i'd do if i were actually running any of the studios :
mircea_popescu: bring a friend, sit in for the filming of any sex scene during the season.
mircea_popescu: prolly get a million an' a half or some shit for them, too.
mircea_popescu: in other news, "whosoever withdraws from stupidity thereby becomes its avant-garde."
thestringpuller: well his hot granddaughter is out fucking and having a good time now that her brainwashing is gone
BingoBoingo: But yes. Not the question we deserve, but the one we need.
jurov: ;;later tell BingoBoingo yes i'll gladly help anyone to dispose of their shares ;)
Framedragger: by which i mean, any crazy customer support / admin stories thus far? :)
mod6: Cool jurov, when they are distrbuted (month end?), just hit me up.
thestringpuller: usually its the week after the statement on trilema confirming share count
jurov: mod6 Qntra shares? When did you receive any?
mod6: i haven't, yet. but i wrote an article. so i presume they will give me a few.
mod6: but i'd like to send the proceeds to The Bitcoin Foundation
mod6: so just take your coinbr fee and forward the rest to the btcf addy if that's ok?
jurov: sorry, i can't. they are meant to be used strictly for hookers and blow.
mod6: or, if you'd rather i signed a statement saying such, i can do that when they get distributed.
mod6: i suppose that can be arranged.
mod6: anyway, thanks, we'll talk 'round month end then to get it figured out.
shinohai: Bad news is all the good blow vendors are on tor
vc: Framedragger: things have been great, users have been fine save for the billions of them that messed up their SSH key
jurov: yes, your shares are tied to your gpg fingerprint, so pls make a signed request to onetime/automatic delivery toi certain coinbr account
vc: I'm going to have to put like a tutorial on the checkout page
vc: I'm currently planning on getting 144GB memory and 6 more SSDs
vc: which will put my maximum slot count at 140
vc: and if the 140 slots fill up I will purchase the other 144GB memory which is the last possible upgrade for the server
mod6: jurov: what if one doens't have a coinbr account?
jurov: you can have them sent to mpex account, too
mod6: ok. we'll work something out. no problemo.
jurov: or just say you want to donate them to foundation and we'll work it out
Framedragger: hehe yeah, ssh keys, welcome to idiotland i guess
Framedragger: vc: just fyi, there appears to be a ~10k packets / second limit somewhere upstream, are you aware of anything of the kind? i'm just running some self-tests (using a program which has its own TCP stack, i.e. no use of kernel networking / sockets). same tests produce at least 10 times as much elsewhere. cpu not the bottleneck. just wondering what it could be
Framedragger: note, stricly-localhost test gives me much more than that. but test with bogus mac address (so it doesn't hit the actual internet) gives only 10k pps, which is real low. some hardware firewall doing excessive ratelimiting?
vc: Framedragger: I have definitely seen waaaaaaay over 10k packets / s on these interfaces so that's not the problem
vc: there is an outbound cap of 100Mbit/s on the interfaces
Framedragger: hmm. yeah self-test which doesn't leave localhost gives me ~ 3M pps or so
vc: what size of packets?
vc: are you doing tests right now?
Framedragger: with botched mac addr so shouldnt even reach internet, i think theyre getting dropped at some local router
vc: yes, that would be aftables
vc: I filter mac addresses...
Framedragger: right i'll stop diddling with mac addresses and do some actual packet-sending work heh
shinohai: asciilifeform: muh censorship!
mod6: mircea_popescu: cool, good dela.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah afk shit is calming down, so getting back to variations packet madness :D
a111: Logged on 2016-06-12 18:35 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what sense does that make anyway ?
Framedragger: (gun resume and finish ipv4 open ssh port scans tonight with vc's node (vc: it's randomized ip range scan and only 30 kpackets/s, before you ask), and then deploy ~10 vps nodes for ssh key extraction, feeding port-22-open-list from the former into the latter.)
thestringpuller: "Without any regulation you can't stop a bad actor before they start. They only need to scam people once to make a lot of money.
vc: Framedragger: I'm cool with port scans, neither me nor my parent host cares
Framedragger: vc: cool, and i remember you saying this the first time otherwise wouldn't have done it, just wanted to let you know that these particular scans won't (*completely*) trash the reputation of the currently assigned ipv4 :)
Framedragger: thestringpuller: "do people deserve bitcoin?" is this still a non-rhetorical question? :)
thestringpuller: Framedragger: The mass adoption crowd is much like the Bernie Sanders crowd.
thestringpuller: They are actually one in the same. Socialist by any other name. For fuck's sake.
thestringpuller: I refuse to live in a world where my hard work is plundered by mr. millenial who was sucking on his momma's tit until 22.
Framedragger: i would maintain that the socialist set and the doesnt-deserve-bitcoin set are not necessarily mutually exclusive; at least this cannot be known a priori. mp et al. would argue that it can; so be it
Framedragger: the mapping between the sets is not necessarily bijective, i.e. one-to-one
Framedragger: but to show this / give examples of some differences.. eh fuck that, too much effort
shinohai: ./send kakobrekla ( ::: [ ] ::: )
thestringpuller: Framedragger: I was being hyperbolic. My point was more that the mass adoption crowd is too stupid to regulate themselves, and as such would like to punish all of Bitcoin.
thestringpuller: All mass adoption will cause is more people getting scammed.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: apologies - too much presumption on my part, then!
Framedragger: in other news, am casually looking into perfect forward secrecy in *asynchronous* communications. this *may* turn out to be relevant for gossipd enthusiasts and connoisseurs in the long run, too. the most simple way appears to be for nodes to generate a bunch of "pre-keys" (halves of ephemeral key exchange), and store/cache them somewhere (obvs signed by their permanent identity key), a la
https://whispersystems.org/blog/asynchronous-sec Framedragger: this way one can (in principle) achieve pfs for communications between otherwise offline nodes
Framedragger: "this one weird trick" kind of thing, not too smart, but possibly just smart enough.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: btw the prekey idea is sound, with or without ad hominem
