mircea_popescu: yeah. the place where i took those pics was 3200 meters
mircea_popescu: and i tell you, it winds you. there were some inclines/stairs up there i had to take in two portions.
mod6: oh sure. if you're not used to that type of elevation, can take a lot out of you indeed.
mircea_popescu: i thought it's the browser you get if you can't afford orgasm.
mircea_popescu: speaking of
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779624 : $ cat trilema.txt | grep -c '"HEAD ' > 5936. this is about 9 hours' worth of log. turns out mp-wp uses head to make sure pictures uploaded correctly ; turns out a lot of economical browsers use head on pics on a page prior to loading them, to check if they already have them in the cache.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 17:03 asciilifeform: i dun even propose to kill HEAD because it is complicated to implement -- it isn't, as i understand. but because 'nobody but pinoys ever seemed to issue a HEAD at asciilifeform's www, in decade+'
mircea_popescu: seems, finally, various "fight linkrot" mechanisms use head to check if item linked sitll exists.
mircea_popescu: conceivably they nuke the local link if head fails or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's pretty humongous, i suppose i just wrote a magazine by myself.
mircea_popescu: however, these are a) from commie times so nobody much cares and b) the most benign of nothingness, what press releases were being shuttled. im not even sure they were ciphered originally.
mircea_popescu: anyway, kinda why i included them. afaik there exists nowhere online such a thing, for the inquiring mind that might wish to know how ro declassified documents look in the first place.
mircea_popescu: tho there's lots of them floating about in rosphere, as there was a lot of wranglking about political policing and so on.
mircea_popescu: so while pretty much every adult romanian saw at least one (often enough in the shape of, hey, do you know this guy you've been frioends for 30 years with, since chiuldhood ? well he was trying to fuck your wife and get you imprisoned), apparently there's a NOFORN clause implicit or something, 0 internets.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well depends. sure, counts,. but i meant as the physical photocopy as such
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thousand little clues, like the quality of the tape, the worn-ness of the letterheads, types of typing mistakes (eg, misspelling were unpermitted, missing space uniting words sometimes tolerated, many such tiny details)
mircea_popescu: if you spend enough time with anything you end up with an idea of how it goes, be it wine or typewriter era paperwork.
mircea_popescu: infinitely artful fake is definitionally undetectable neh.
mircea_popescu: (maria groza, often mentioned there, deputy foreign minister at the time, even made it in "women's movement antologies" and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: the people are a lot closer to the argentinian (pompous, inept, idle) than the tico (eager, voluble, extrovert) ; there's better night life but the 550 mm barometer is unpleasant ; much larger town but virtually no wild life ; arguably better food in restaurants, but i do prefer my slavegirls cooking anyway. and so on.
mircea_popescu: anyway. perfectly serviceable bananistan, yes. i still prefer cr. there's a certain advantage to being able to drive to the beach in a coupla hours any time.
mircea_popescu: add to that the dismal (and ridiculously overpriced) real estate, and the inept regulations (instead of forbidding poor people / locals from owning cars privately, they came up with the batshit insane nonsense of banning plates by whether they're opdd or even on alternate days. and this isn't an accident, this is structurally how they think.)
mircea_popescu: and they have bicycle lanes, which i find intolerable.
mircea_popescu: there's some. in fairness i wasn't there long enough to say ; but the very idea annoys me.

phf: oh, it just stays there until a withdraw?

phf: jeez, that's some future technology
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> and they have bicycle lanes, which i find intolerable. << not only lanes; it was claimed by at least one local that on sundays all principal roads are closed to cars --bikes only.
mod6: *whew* New kitchen sink faucet: Installed.
trinque: just got some new drapes up myself.
trinque can pull the withdraw lever any time this evening, no problem.

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> hmm qntra heathendns still dun resolve? << Whois is still showing the same information
mircea_popescu: in other news, woke up with wood, took the tool to the little girl's room, picked one of the delicious butts asleep there an' fucked her daylights out. or rather i should say nightlights. in any case -- this is teh true joy in lyf! whenever you manage an erection, go pick one!
BingoBoingo: Glad you enjoyed the pre-breakfast exercise
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i suspect you're right, city size has a large impact on inhabitant idiocy. overlarge cities train stupidity into dwellers.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo : i see 0 propagation anywhere. you sure you actually have nameservers up ?
mircea_popescu: "No name servers found at child. No name servers could be found at the child. This usually means that the child is not configured to answer queries about the zone."
mircea_popescu: "There was a problem with the NameServers you entered for the following domains:
mircea_popescu: This is likely caused by the entered NameServers not being created yet."
mircea_popescu: it probably is that i didn't register the ns with namesilo ; but holy shit, "Go to the Domain Manager page within your account Click the applicable domain name (it will be underlined in black) Click the "View/Manage Registered NameServers" link within the "NameServers" box" << there is no fucking box with links in it wtf
mircea_popescu: there's a manage dns for this domain on the right and a change nameservers on the top, and neither have an option for it.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo updated ; hopefully this time correctly. apparently they had a different process to register these than i thought, the edit dns zone tool dun do it.
BingoBoingo: These things happen. The interface innovations of outsiders are the greatest handicap we have.
mircea_popescu: anyuway, give it a few if still no good complain i'll look into it more
BingoBoingo: brb, going to check on a machine with virgin hosts file
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> everyone else : he leaves on the 13th, deadline to send gear his way say 5 days prior or something like that << I would like to add to the wishlist a small box capable of being a router. 2+ CPU cores, 3+ NICs, and 4-8 GB of RAM. Throw a pre clang Openbsd on there and appliancicize it.
BingoBoingo: And for the mini bbisp conference, any guests other than just phf?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 21:26 mircea_popescu: phf you can also book with a day+ layover in panama on your way back. for one thing you get to see the place and despise panama for good reason rather than by hearsay ; for the other flight over here is ~1hr ~every hour.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The switch's routing capabilities don't seem like they will be able to handle the transition period from our current borrowed /26 to the regionally allocated /24
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: not change the software ever. Just update the config files.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes : i just spent 10 minutes clicking like a madman through the dates of your logs of trilema-trinque trilema-mod6 etc. could it be a feature that if one month contains less than 2k lines of log then it is presented as a month by month rather than as a day by day thing ?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Slow realtek NICs, quality of service becomes a concern
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i have nfi what's going on there, but let me point out trilema has a whole class c (ie, /24) allocated as it is.
mircea_popescu: ifconfig goes from eth0 all the way down to eth0:32 on A SINGLE BOX. that's a /27 range.
mircea_popescu: weird shit ; i had nfi i'm that popular with the russki empire.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i can't imagine what'd be going on you'r need multiple routers piled up for a c block. really now.
mircea_popescu: not against overprovisioning and spare gear waiting cold ; but subject to good deals on good deal, not really a desperation buy
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just put everything in a state he doesn't have to fuck with, he's got no torture room down there.

BingoBoingo: Ah, yeah, their stupid website defaults to assuming you wanna stay at least 2 nights
BingoBoingo: Or there are a whole bunch of hotels in the Ciudad vieja 7-10 km away that offer rooms in the 40-50 USD range
BingoBoingo: Just the chinches have not entirely been eliminated. Or dirty foreigners keep bringing new ones in.
phf: rambler puts locations of mcdonalds and burger king on their maps, in case, you know, one gets homesick
BingoBoingo: Another warning, hardworking Brasilero Tony from the staff went back to Brasil this past Tuesday. They replaced him with a white South African Tony...
BingoBoingo: And when you are picking a room, the 10 is where they store all the staff and volunteers so someone is trying to sleep in there around the clock.
BingoBoingo: And if you really want to go balls out there is the Hyatt centric across the the deletras de Montevideo with the Playa de Pocitos within rooftop pissing range
BingoBoingo: lol, kind of a feature. From the roof you could probably piss on the sand if winds are favorable
phf: i've pissed from many rooftops, and it doesn't go as far as you might flatter yourself it will
BingoBoingo: But its location also means lots wind coming off the water
BingoBoingo:
http://hotelpalacio.com.uy/ << The service sucks, they do they annoying thing where they keep the old timey skeleton keys at the desk and make you check your guests in, but the $45 a night superior room impresses girls from the interior of the country.

BingoBoingo: And the mall "Shopping Punta Carrerretas" was a mega prison until the 1980s ish
