mircea_popescu: spyked, i disagree general purpose os is actually a null concept, or a useless one.
mircea_popescu: the best example i can think of is the code on the old handheld calculators. THAT is a general purpose os : it makes no assumption about the downstream, merely fully, cleanly and directly exposes the hardware.

mircea_popescu: i suppose at work might be a confusion between what-some-idiots-might-be-thinking-retroconstructed-on-the-flimsy-basis-of-how-they-behave, where "general purpose os" means "the sprinkle of magic turning the computer from a computer to anything i want it to be, which is to say a tool that magicvally works for any purpose i might come up with, especially the nonsensical and self-contradictory ones".

zx2c4: mircea_popescu: im trying to apply what you said to IP
mircea_popescu: but we're discussing theology not religion. cryptography is eminently not a religion. in fact, i'm the frirst one to have ever said anything remotely like the foregoing, and it's giving crypto people hives just reading it.
Darwin_Fish: what's the difference between theology and religion?
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, you ever heard that quip, that "in theory, there's no difference between theory and practice ; in practice, there is" ? "theologically, there's no difference between theology and religion. but religiously..."
Darwin_Fish: sorry, don't follow the logic. If there is no difference, what's the difference.
mircea_popescu: well, have you ever met a religious dude who didn't SAY, and broadly think, they're following god ?
mircea_popescu: they all say it. but do they really ? so what's the difference!
Darwin_Fish: I consider an atheist religious. But, of course there are plenty of people who say and don't do
Darwin_Fish: By the way, God doesn't believe in atheists
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: let's take a protocol that just encrypts ip packets and nothing more. traffic analysis of the size of packets gives you something, especially in the case of TCP where there are necessary types of responses at various points. but i suppose you want me to consider "general purpose cases". so im thinking about a raw UDP protocol. in this case, it might be that at the end of an exchange, one side has nothing more to say, and so it says
zx2c4: nothing. alternatively, it sends a bunch of garbage data at random points to trip up traffic analysis. now introduce the wireguard final-confirmation keepalive. one side has nothing more to say, yet it just now received a message from the other side. rather than sending nothing, wireguard now sends a single length 0 message. after that, both sides are entirely silent. what does the sending of that length 0 message reveal that sending nothing would

mircea_popescu: zx2c4, but the option isn't exactly "send nothing or send 0 length message". the option is "send nothing / zero length message OR send the time".
Darwin_Fish: For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, (Rom 1:20 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, anyway, theology is the study of divinity as a theoretical possibility ; religion is the study of historical human practice. the catholics resolve this problem by claiming (falsely) that they were specifically promised god will preserve their religion in theology. this claim has all the strength of their claim constantine deeded them the world.
Darwin_Fish: I often refer to religion as you described it
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, good. so what would you say is the fundamental thing in children that eventually, but necessarily, leads them to at the very least question the possibility of divinity, if not outright seek it ?
Darwin_Fish: That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. (Joh 1:9 NKJ)
Darwin_Fish: God makes Himself known to every human on the planet
mircea_popescu: yes. but i propose to you the instrument thereby is the infantile tendency to question "why ?". that's what they fucking do, all day long, at least the brighter ones.
mircea_popescu: eventually they give up, mostly because adults are TERRIBLE at answering why ; and also because they get distraught, and the children dun wanna bother them. so it gets rubbed out.
trinque: "knock and the door shall be opened" eh?
trinque dusts off the cobwebs in that wing of his skull
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, and that is the substance of my proposition earlier. there is no place known to me where the most refined and annoying whys can be stated quite like in this field.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: if what you mean is rather than sending an empty packet, i should instead rand(20,200) zero bytes encrypted, then i wonder what this would accomplish. the other side now receives this. if it's a keepalive message (which it knows after decryption), then it goes silent. if it's not, then it either responds with whatever is appropriate to respond to that, or if it has nothing to say, it would have to send a keepalive too. in
zx2c4: otherwords, an attacker still knows that the protocol has gone silent, because one side will stop responding. it sounds to me like what you would prefer is for both sides always to be talking and chatting -- always, and with garbage when not with real data -- to trip of traffic analysis. that's a legitimate desire, and there are many other additional things can add to protocols to further trip up traffic analysis. wireguard distinctly isn't focused
zx2c4: on that, instead preferring to be "stealthy" and "silent" when not in use. this naturally reveals when communications happen, but it also makes the endpoints undiscoverable when theyre not talking. also, it'd be easy to build that kind of 'always chatting' logic into whatever specific application you need to conceal. or, alternatively, simply write an additional utility that sits on top of wireguard that sends junk back and forth at quasi random
zx2c4: intervals relative to the amount of existing traffic. i wouldnt be surprised if something like this already exists.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i don't mean random (20,200). i just mean, the size of your smallest non-zero packet. was it 8 or what was it ?
Darwin_Fish: It takes patience to answer why repeatedly. It also takes understanding, which most people don't have
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, so is your idea that basically this should be handled by the app importing your lib, rather than the lib itself, more flexibility this way ?
Darwin_Fish: Because, if you keep asking why, it always leads to God
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, quite, "why ?" is an escalator, every successive why needs exponentially more resources to answer.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: re:rand(20,200) - sorry. random number of bytes is all i was going for. (an ip header is 20 bytes, so you'd probably want to bound it at that. and 200 seems like a reasonable cut off. but of course we could keep engineering and designing that sort of thing and come up with different numbers.)
Darwin_Fish: For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. (Col 1:16 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, check it out, agreement and harmony. now satisfy my curiosity : what happened with al soto ?
Darwin_Fish: upholding all things by the word of His power, (Heb 1:3 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, honestly, i'm satisfied with this for an answer "look, wireguard can be used many ways, nothing wrong with your way, and it's supported, but in general other people want other things and so there it is".
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: wireguard isnt a library. its a virtual network interface that tunnels ip packets. what im pointing out is that your suggestion implies that both sides must _keep_ talking always, since thats the only way to obscure termination messages.
Darwin_Fish: For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. (Rom 11:36 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, yeah. have you seen anything re gossipd, ~speaking the tmsr-wireguard ?
Darwin_Fish: But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner-- not even to eat with such a person. (1Co 5:11 NKJ)
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: and i think having that kind of thing always on -- constant chattiness -- would be a security step backwards, since it'd give up stealthiness. but of course if you still wanted it for a special use case, there's nothing in wireguard preventing you from having it pretty easily
zx2c4: (or even general purpose utilities that could ostensibly work over any link)
Darwin_Fish: He couldn't stop spending money he shouldn't be spending (i.e. creating debt)
Darwin_Fish: Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. (Heb 13:5 NKJ)
Darwin_Fish: Owe no one anything except to love one another, (Rom 13:8 NKJ)
zx2c4: oh, the most serene acronym, shoulda known
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, so basically he ran up the church / your ccs, and eventually it had to come to an end ?
Darwin_Fish: but creating debt, at least in his own mind
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, the idea being that the "wtf are you going to do, keep talking forever with anyone you ever talk to ?! morons!" problem is not unknown, but a major item giving me a bellyache as it stands now. invariants, god damn them all.
Darwin_Fish: He thought he was going to owe the gov thousands of dollars
mircea_popescu: but how do you know what he thought ? "the devil himself knows not the tought of man" etc.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: the more interesting approach to foiling that kind of traffic analysis is the general topic of mixnets
zx2c4: always swirling data around, so not only do you not know who's talking when, but you don't know who's talking to whom
Darwin_Fish: He actually didn't end up owing anything, so he said later
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, isn't it silly, to ruin a long standing relationship like that, over what was in the end a small error ?
Darwin_Fish: I had hoped to bring him back in the church, but now he hates my guts
Darwin_Fish: He faults me for being involved in the Ron Paul movement
zx2c4: > For a functional example consider node A, whose "encryption" mechanism consists of sha256(string+"hurr"), and node B, whose encryption mechanism consists of sha256("durr"+string.).
zx2c4: sha256 isnt an encryption function. also beware this construction, especially the second one where the string comes last -- length extension is a problem with sha2

Darwin_Fish: Ron Paul believes prostitution should be legal. I turned a blind eye to that, but I should not have
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, prostitution is legal here (costa rica). are they all going to hell ?
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: im curious -- why are you so bent on RSA? ECC has been around for quite some time now and has numerous advantages
Darwin_Fish: Everyone who practices prostitution and does not repent, yes
Darwin_Fish: Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness. (Lev 19:29 NKJ)
zx2c4: all of them? some of the advantages are indisputable like key size and computation speed and implementation ease. im guessing you dont believe there's a security advantage over RSA? you're not soothed by the fact that many attacks against RSA dont work with ECC? okay, but that still doesn't discredit the indisputable advantages. so then maybe your position is that ECC has _weaker_ security than RSA for various reasons? that'd be a more interesting
zx2c4: claim, if that's the one you're implying
Darwin_Fish: Yes, But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." (Rev 21:8 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, no, they're fucking disputable. you're going to tell me you get "the same thing" but "with a smaller key" ? i'm tuning out, this is nonsense.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, the only thing you can get with a smaller key is "something just as good", in the sense mcdonalds is just as good as the restaurant i go to. perhaps it is -- for the poor. i'm not poor, nor do i orient my life around the needs of the needy.
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, but is it immoral for both the harlot and the guy paying her ?
mircea_popescu: but... listen. isn't this the whole entire proposition of manhood, both biologically and socio-historically, "go ye and make a pile of resources so females may be attracted thereby" ?
Darwin_Fish: Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!
Darwin_Fish: 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."
Darwin_Fish: 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
Darwin_Fish: 18 Flee sexual immorality. (1Co 6:15-18 NKJ)
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: the keys in ECC are smaller. if your position is that this cant possibly mean it's more secure than RSA, then i suppose the actual claim you're making is that 'ECC with ECC-sized keys is less secure than RSA with RSA-sized keys'. what's the basis for this?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i proposition that the smaller the key, the smaller the key. this can't be meaningless.

mircea_popescu: zx2c4, and the "that many attacks against RSA dont work with ECC" claim is especially odious, as it comes from a single source, which is a criminal org with a history of manipulatively lying. what happens is that usg publishes every ~useless "attack" on rsa and withholds the few ~working~ attacks on ecc from publishing. then you get this situation where seemingly, for the very naive surface-seekers, "ecc has advantages". it h

zx2c4: mircea_popescu: ahh that ignorant and antiquated notion, that "key size implies security size". or do you think there will be some amazing GNFS-like algorithms that come out for ECC, requiring ECC to use absurdly huge keys in the same way as RSA?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, looky, i get that i may seem retarded at times and in some lights, but it's not a safe assumption.
Darwin_Fish: He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. (Pro 10:4 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: the algos for ecc will ~never come out, until the day i water my horse out of the repurposed washington monument, of course.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: i take it now that mostly you're skeptical because the nsa was pushing ecc in the early years, before everyone else woke up to it
☟︎ mircea_popescu: what is this "absurdly" large ? why is 4096 even large at all ?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i am very skeptical because rsa they hated and ecc they pushed and then suddenly everyone forgot the 90s and is all onboard.
mircea_popescu: how T?HE FUCK can you even look at anything nsa says other than "this is what the liars are pushing these days" ? hm ?
Darwin_Fish: The rich and the poor have this in common, The LORD is the maker of them all. (Pro 22:2 NKJ)
zx2c4: i think cloudflare has an ELI5 article from a few years back about "what all the key sizes doth mean"

mircea_popescu: wtf, i have to explain why short keys are shorter than longer keys ?
Darwin_Fish: The person who labors, labors for himself, For his hungry mouth drives him on. (Pro 16:26 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: the hungry mouth of the wife and the wails of starving children notwithstanding ?
Darwin_Fish: No, a man can certainly be motivated by that
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, understand, the expectation here isn't "longer, therefore better". the situation is as described above, my key budget is 4096 bits, both ecc and rsa are ok by this measure.
mircea_popescu: so it is not evil for man to work so that a woman can eat ?
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: so from your mention of "criminal org" it seems to me that your concern is not so much the mathematical issues that are discussed in the literature, but rather a particular history that to you indicates there must be secret attacks that only the select few geniuses at the nsa know about, and everybody pushing ecc is either in on the conspiracy or just dumber than the nsa geniuses. i guess you're entitled to this opinion -- what's

mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, so then what's the problem with whoredom. that they came up with their own arrangement, rather than using a wedding ?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, my concern is that the literature is entirely worthless.
zx2c4: then crypto is doomed?
Darwin_Fish: God says it's evil. That's all it ever comes down to
mircea_popescu: which is possibly the one point where we mostly diverge in our priors, you look upon published extant cryptology as some kind of a scientific discipline, whereas to me it's ~gender studies for numbers.
Darwin_Fish: When you are discussing something being evil, it's always because God says so
Darwin_Fish: Otherwise, there is no morality whatsoever
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, there's no deductive component in establishing what is evil ?
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, but your source for what god declared is a book which a guy wrote and some other guys maybe didn't alter (too much).
Darwin_Fish: There is no absolute on morality accept God Himself
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, i wonder, are you willing to read a story i wrote tell me what you think ?
zx2c4: if secret government scientists are lightyears ahead of "entirely worthless" academics, and they have secret attacks on everything academia is currently okay with, then i guess it's game over, and we have to wait until we're at a ripe old age to read the history books on the secret mathematics of our present age. i dont really share this point of view though. and even aside from the factual validity of it, it doesn't seem like a psychologically

mircea_popescu: but then again, we're worth trillions, whereas webtards... not so much.
mircea_popescu: which, if you think about it, explains the homeostasis observed quite well.

mircea_popescu: 3. darwin fish spent a decade, up until macarthur was ~50, in that church (after some other wrangling, mormons, whatever). then suddenly, as he himself reached 30, there was a major "time for my own church" moment. except, of course, nobody gave HIM the bn-dollar moneymaker. any they even told him why : he's way the fuck too cool for it, or as joe pesci put it, "that was the last fucking time...."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: 4. he spent some time wrangling around the edges of this, words were exchanged, on the solid footing of complete misunderstanding : on one hand, "i am cool therefore wtf" ; on the other hand "dude, we're in the business of frantic activity as a cover for impotence, wtf is wrong with you".
mircea_popescu: 5. fast forward TWO DECADES. the guy lives with a small group in nature's own poverty in rural ok, then 5.a. refuses ~7 grand windfall on principle grounds but 5.b. does actually show up, ie, his refusal isn't the common "nyah nyah nyah can't hear anything" sort.

danielpbarron: work in what sense? he cares only about the Bible. still true today as it was then
trinque concedes it's a bias of his own, left the church young on the basis of "magic book didn't prevent lying shitbags from infecting the magic book building"

danielpbarron: i'd like to eventually get Darwin's translation up as a html rather than the pdf it's currently in

danielpbarron: 1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
danielpbarron: Daniel 4:37 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.
danielpbarron: ^ there is hope for even you mircea_popescu, for there have been rulers of the world who praised the true God
danielpbarron: i don't see the point, as it's not part of the Bible
danielpbarron: Mark 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. 26 And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?" 27 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to the 2nd fold of the error : the NOTION of translation is pernicious, and stuff like the protestant lulz of "church of self-esteem" or "we choose to emphasize <bla>" are not unbound errors.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: they're the necessary fruit of "here, learning languages is too hard, we translated it for you"
mircea_popescu: "well gee! if you can trnaslate it for me, why can't it all be about what i want to do anyway ?"
mircea_popescu: the ancient "a philanthropist is the guy who gives me money so i can do what i was going to do in the first place".
danielpbarron: yes but you can hold against the false churches, theire own translations!
mircea_popescu: im not proposing anyone's doing something wrong. i'm disputing whether anyone's doing anything at all.

mircea_popescu: douchebag, for the record, this thing whereby you get a coupla in, wait for them to be processed, get another coupla in etc is not only dumb, but against the very concept of a batch. get all of them in, save me the trouble of having to handle n batches.
danielpbarron: "huh what's that for? i'm here to show you my ADA bitcointron i wrote"
douchebag: Alright, I'll get another in a sec
danielpbarron: btw Darwin said he was glad some chix showed up while he was in here, so that he could give them a warning
danielpbarron: would it be over the top to warn each and every one of them? probably spammy i figured
mircea_popescu: well, if he does it in channel he'll prolly get whacked. if he pms them... whatever. maybe freenode won't like it.
danielpbarron: i meant me doing it. he's not interested in doing the whole irc thing on a regular basis
mircea_popescu: have him register himself, get a cloak, he's silly dreaming of south california while eschewing this wonder.
danielpbarron: i shall write up a blog post to link to them i guess
mircea_popescu: ah. well, same to you, except you';re already registered lol.

danielpbarron: right now i'm trying to figure out why the pretty urls thing broke my edit-post thing to where the handy "insert link/blockquote" buttons disappeared
☟︎ mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, sounds like permission issue on the js dir. check all your htaccesses.
mircea_popescu: but the why not was re " he's not interested in doing the whole irc thing".
deedbot: ascii_lander voiced for 30 minutes.
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: it's racked. still need engentooation
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: you can have dulap's gentoo, or make own when the ipkvm comes online tonight
ascii_lander: ( it needs a dr mengele job re the power cord )
danielpbarron: aha, i see the problem. js/.htaccess had "deny from all"
ascii_lander: of greater concern is trinque's machine; i am starting to think that one of his sub-blades has overheat issue
danielpbarron: is it not a good idea to allow all on this directory? is it not protected in the same way the rest of wp-admin is? via username/password SESSION or w/e?
ascii_lander is on a pingpong table in BingoBoingo's coworkery, freeloading on a sp pronounciation lesson by very puurty venezolana chixx
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, it's not world-readable in principle, but you can just lock it to yourself only without drawbacks also.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, oh the why not irc, i'd have to ask for more specifics but generally he's pretty busy as it is, and he doesn't like to hang out with non believers too much
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, pic the lovebirds, i'm curious if any of the weight rubbed back off on him!
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, so are you going to become the al soto v2.0 ? historically the guy did a lot trying to get the thing online, with mixed success.
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: took pic. will upload when i get back to room where the photo-extraction cable is
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: lemme know if you will be making own gentoo (or whichever alternative) for smg box, or whether you'd like an engentooation with my own hands
ascii_lander: ( 100% of cargo racked btw. tho some of the rails had to be bent, i bent'em back by hand lol )
mircea_popescu: it occurs to me : next trip could actually be bingoboingo himself ?
diana_coman: engentootation by ascii_lander's own hands sounds good to me
mircea_popescu: cool. ascii_lander you using trinque 's recipe or own device ?
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: own, which is much moar 'plane jane', isn't musltronic yet sadly
ascii_lander: but if trinque wants to do his, i can put him on kvm
ascii_lander: the q is, will your item run on musltronic gentoo ( is it static ? )
mircea_popescu: but he got fucking deluge and other arbitrary "here's some web-picked shit" going on his, so i am currently very highly regarding it.
ascii_lander: then prolly you'll be wanting mean old drepperistic gentoo then.
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: i am to understand that he has a 100% working musltron
ascii_lander: but on those you gotta be yourself statically linked (rather than trying to load glibc)
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, ascii_lander anyway, i expect you'll keep each other entertained for a spell with mg server, so.
ascii_lander: i had a musltronic selfmade buildrootlinuxoid on pogo, it had this attribute (unsurprisingly)
ascii_lander: ascii_lander's current objectives : 1) find out wtf is happening to trinque's blade 2) drmengele power distributor to fit #14 cable 3) power up the ipkvm (ru plug) and 5v power source for rockchippen (ditto)
ascii_lander: after (3) engentooation can be carried out from a place where i dun have to sit on the floor and have back of shirt menacingly sucked into the exhaust manifold
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, listen, better if you put the gentoo in, unload his schedule some.
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: i played 100% of my cards correctly, thus far, prolly will have 2 ~empty days even
mircea_popescu: next you know, he's sucked through manifold, spends them in hospital.
diana_coman: ascii_lander, did you publish anywhere the recipe you intend to follow for this?
ascii_lander: inside dc proper, i fear nuffin, i spent moar time than i care to admit, in'em
ascii_lander: diana_coman: i published the 'seekrit ingredient' (the use flags for banning crapola) and then danielpbarron turned it into a proper recipe
ascii_lander: danielpbarron wouldja happen to have the link handy ?
ascii_lander is on a battle-weary x60, dun have the bookmarksen
mircea_popescu: in any case we have to reconcile and converge these two trunks.
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: trinque has the superior item, it oughta supercede the trad gentoo
ascii_lander: danielpbarron: trinque's is musltronic, which is Teh Fyootoor but gotta make sure that mircea_popescu's proggy runs on this.
danielpbarron: also my recipe almost certainly doesn't work anymore, but it's a good starting point
ascii_lander discovered that the rack in fact contains a remotely-operable power distributor

diana_coman: I have ascii_lander's cribsheet at least but after the previous experience with trinque's stuff I'm almost sure there'll be some fresh trouble
trinque: you can still use the script as literature, but no, my cuntoo installer is not done.
diana_coman: trinque, and it's very useful as literature for sure
ascii_lander: diana_coman: if you like i can even produce a straight copy of dulap's gentoo, which you can later customize.
trinque: ascii_lander: can I direct your attention to #pizarro, or BingoBoingo's?
diana_coman: to recap: I have ascii_lander's cribsheet; danielpbarron's old recipe; trinque's script
diana_coman: ascii_lander, sounds tempting but... what is dulap's gentoo?

diana_coman: it's a pity there isn't really time now to experiment with this machine as the server has been down for long enough already, ugh;
ascii_lander: diana_coman: hence why i suggest to have what i'm eating.
ascii_lander: ( luckily you have exactly same type of box. )
trinque: diana_coman: did you want a gentoo build?
trinque did one for mircea_popescu, wouldn't be opposed to doing one for you.
diana_coman: ascii_lander, ah, I see; I was puzzling re box type, searching for dulap's description to compare
ascii_lander: diana_coman: you an' i have exactly same box, with the exception where you have 2 ps, and moar disk
diana_coman: trinque, ascii_lander offered to do it; if it's not done by pizarro there's at least more useful experience for me to do it anyway
ascii_lander: ( incidentally lemme know how you want the disks arrayed; if this were mine, i'd put them in raid5 , using 4tb to yield 3tb of storage, plus using 5th 1tb as hotspare. )
ascii_lander: i have no objection to doing it; but i also have no objection if somebody else wants to.
trinque will back away, splitting attention, will bbl
mircea_popescu: aite, seems like the dulap clone is the correct approach here. we'll maybe look at moar cuntoo stuff later.
diana_coman: ascii_lander, raid5 as described sounds good; go ahead then and put the same as on dulap
ascii_lander: and potentially once moar disks are brought over, can use your 'spare' box as a staging box
ascii_lander: ( ascii_lander's cargo included 1) dulapIII 2) dulapIII-spare 3) smg 4) smg-spare
diana_coman: ok; if there's anything else - I'll be around for about half hour more now and then tomorrow (in ~9 hours from now)
ascii_lander: let's pessimistically shoot for smg box to be inbiznis by end of tomorrow
ascii_lander discovered that some things take a while in orcistan: hour march to get to cable shop, plodding behind flocks of zombies, then hr back..

Melissalmao: no not really i have before but i wouldnt call myself a raver
mircea_popescu: but besides that ? or is it one of those things, like being religious, takes up the whole day.
Melissalmao: it goes on until the phone stops ringing its a hell of a lifestyle
mircea_popescu was always impressed by how similar really devout religious people, doing the whole purity thing, and really dedicated whores, doing the whole thing, drugs etc actually are.
Melissalmao: well no amount in particular we pay for eachothers shit though
mircea_popescu: so basically it's like an arthouse/halfwayhouse w/e, there's a bunch of you girls living together and trying to make ends meet ?
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I think it's worth mentioning that both Melissalmao and Brittt are recieving the same issue with deedbot as earlier
mircea_popescu: Melissalmao, so it's not really a pimp, more like the house mother ?
mircea_popescu: douchebag, somewhat suspicious, as it told me "<deedbot> mircea_popescu paid Melissalmao 0.02". is their key no good or something ?
mircea_popescu: aite, we'll see what trinque says about this when he has a moment. in the meanwhile Melissalmao Brittt dun fret, your cents are safe.

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, so is it your inference the wireguard fellow got bothered by the wrongness of it all / jealous / whatever ?
danielpbarron: possibly, or the devil caused him to in order to disrupt it
mircea_popescu: ie, each convo was better jointly than it'd have been on its own.
danielpbarron: maybe it was, but the purpose of my post is to highlight just you and darwin
ckang: oh just reading, wireguard guy got upset?
