diana_coman: looking at the udp tester data, it seems my uy end got also some packets from 161.0.121.254, lol
asciilifeform: diana_coman: interesting ; any idea re contents ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: and hey BingoBoingo , what's 161.0.121.254 ?
diana_coman: anyways, at a quick look, no errors on either direction between the 2 concerned nodes, ~99.80% made it to the other side ; will get to do a proper write-up with more details by the end of this week
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I can tell at least some of them, yes, because they got reported as "errors" because not what expected
diana_coman: but yes, I think it's just someone around here playing with the tester?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: my notes dun feature a -254...
diana_coman: o.O
asciilifeform: i'm pretty curious nao
asciilifeform: i'm thinking it's the switch
asciilifeform: http://161.0.121.254/htdocs/login/login.lsp << apparently
diana_coman: uhm, but somehow packages were received with the switch as source ?? and actually it IS extra packages as it were, since adding them does result in more than were sent...
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i expect it's pissing broadcast crapola ( dhcp ? BingoBoingo ? ) to the lan
diana_coman: ahhh, that can be, dhcp, ugh
asciilifeform: well this dun solve the puzzle
asciilifeform: typical broadcast crapola wouldn't be addressed to port 7000 or what was it diana_coman picked
diana_coman: no, but at least gives some idea more than I had on this, lol
asciilifeform: diana_coman: do you suppose you can reproduce this, with tcpdump going ?
asciilifeform: i'd be curious to see the payload
asciilifeform: ( esp. curious whether the behaviour relates to fragging )

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856533 << here's an example : did the ~source~ of http://qntra.net/2018/09/power-rangers-inserted-inflation-bug-into-core-bitcoin-network-client-in-2016/ discuss the tbf position ? if not, why not ? ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 15:51 mod6: I feel like I can be pretty successful in doing that, it's the other things that I feel like I'm lacking -- a senseable direction to a 'Standford'.
mircea_popescu: if not, why not "hello x, I am y, i represent tbf, our position is, i can be reached through k j p q in the future" ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i don't mean, ~once~. i do such things, the once, to instruct and inform. like say that harvard piece.
mircea_popescu: the point of instruct and inform is that it sticks, and it becomes systematic and universal. we're not africans, whereby "oh, the shamans does the electricity thing, we're all safe now from having to do".
mircea_popescu: we're europeans, "he did that ? i wonder if i could do it too... check it out i can... guess what, I AM DOING IT FROM NOW ON". and so following.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and hey BingoBoingo , what's 161.0.121.254 ? << It should be the switch
mircea_popescu: this idea whereby we can both a) long endure and b) persistently remain null at outreach on all levels is the stuff of alf's boats.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for long time i repeatedly 'hi omfg-rsa-xyz-of-the-day people, here's phuctor, i speak for...' etc. 0 result. but possibly was doingitwrong
mircea_popescu: documented ?
asciilifeform: pretty sure i pasted some of'em
asciilifeform: but difficult to debug a thing that returns null

mircea_popescu: nevermind that. interfacing with the ambitious schmucks is the topic here.
mircea_popescu: as a factual matter, did random "bitcoin news" crapola know or didn't know mod6 represents tbf and can be reached foir comment ?
asciilifeform: hey mod6... consider writing to that one
asciilifeform: ( i expect same result as my phuctor propaganda, but imho mircea_popescu is right in that it oughta be tried, repeatedly , before can say 'it all goes to /dev/null' )
mircea_popescu: ALL. the point is all.
mircea_popescu: not that one. all of them.
asciilifeform: yes
asciilifeform: as many as can be turned up
asciilifeform: possibly idea for hanbot, who was considering taking up tbf , and is in fact experienced hand in subj ☟︎
asciilifeform: if mod6 is overloaded, i can give it a shot myself later this wk, but imho this is suboptimal, asciilifeform does not represent tbf ☟︎

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Investigating
diana_coman: it certainly does look like some chopped off part of one of the messages sent around
mircea_popescu: some kind of broken echoing ?
diana_coman: suspected old frag perhaps? no idea
diana_coman: onth it's hard to *really* tell if it is indeed chopped off part or just other garbage, hmm
diana_coman: that time sent is too small really
diana_coman: but then who/wtf sends udp on port 7000 ? and meanwhile I left tcpdump sniffing and ...nothing so far
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i suspect it's a frag, but hard to be certain until one's captured 'alive'
asciilifeform: it is worth noting that -- afaik -- nobody is actually using 'heavy' udp for anyffing ☟︎
asciilifeform: the only commonplace heathen uses i'm aware of , use tiny packets (e.g. dns, iirc, 512)
asciilifeform: so there could be all sortsa strange in various ip stacks, and i would not know of it
deedbot: http://bimbo.club/?p=39 << Bimbo.Club - TMSR Log Summary - 9/29/2018
diana_coman: asciilifeform, see the paste; that one is part of the live capture basically - the error log simply logs all bytes that have a different value than expected
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i meant, would like to see hexdump of the packet itself
diana_coman: asciilifeform, well, it IS all of it in there although you'd need to reconstitute it basically: look there, *all* the payload was different, so all of it IS reported; first bytes are reported anyway (sizesent and timesent)
diana_coman: anyways, I'll let you know if tcpdump sniffs any/ can tell which one it is, but this paste there is the bird in hand atm

BingoBoingo: Event was 128th birthday of Peñarol futbol club
BingoBoingo: Yes, they try to sneak "supergas" cylinders into the stadium, but on the other hand the locals care intensely about little else. Unless they are fans of Club Nacional de Futbol in which case they are a bunch of little pussies.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: supergas ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The cylinders look like lp tanks from back home. I suspect it is lp, but the locals only ever call it supergas.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and they do what, light'em and throw'em ?
BingoBoingo: Yes
asciilifeform: lol !
BingoBoingo: Not so much anymore now that stadium security is a thing, but historically
asciilifeform: i could ask 'why into stadium, and not us embassy' but prolly there is no answer to be had.
BingoBoingo: Well, the OTHER team's fans are in stadium
BingoBoingo: Now, If Trump makes Maduro sink a USG aircraft carrier the derp squad might try a run at US embassy, but I doubt they would have the commitment they do when serving as hinchas de Peñarol
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: conceivably whole lizard.purpose of organized sport-gladiatorism is to get the derps to throw lit petrol in stadium, at one another, instead of at pantsuit.
BingoBoingo: Not unimaginable
BingoBoingo: The pro-marihuana thing likely for similar reasons. Keeps them comfortable while bored and saps their energy so they don't burn Mujica for making them all poorer.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm almost surprised, at this point, that they haven't yet reintroduced opium den
asciilifeform: afaik it was just short of perfect for this spec.
BingoBoingo: I think they did that in San Fran and somewhere near where ben_vulpes is leaving "safe injection site" I believe is the pantsuited newspeak
asciilifeform: ( pharmacologically also interesting : old-school opium 'smokers' ( wasn't actually smoked, it was sublimated in a device resembling today's 'crack pipe', and pretty 'high tech' procedure, look at photo of the kit some time ) -- the moar active components of the vegetable -- morphine & relateds -- didn't make it out of the pipe bowl, broke down, so theoretically the chinese were actually doing a somewhat different dope than today's j ☟︎

BingoBoingo: Well, apparently the hot thing in California the Uruguayos haven't figured out yet is called "dabbing". Apparently it's a way to crack pipe hashish
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ancient persia got there 1st

asciilifeform: ohai mircea_popescu
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857626 << I think this is along the lines of what I had in mind, yeah. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-03 15:39 mircea_popescu: if not, why not "hello x, I am y, i represent tbf, our position is, i can be reached through k j p q in the future" ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 ideally the situation is that they send something to ask, "hey, what about this"
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, all ideology and blather aside, there simply does not exist anyone with any expertise BESIDES us.
mod6: I've just had 9000 lbs of shit in a 5 lbs bag lately. If someone wants to help me, or write something in conjunction with me, that'd be really great.
mircea_popescu: if they don't want an actual pov, and would rather publish content free fluff indefinitely, that is their problem
asciilifeform: mod6: interestingly, i'm also drowning in record-breaking liquishit in the saeculum
mod6: Sure. I just wanted to ensure that I knew what the facts were, should I say anything, and were to start getting questions about it.
mircea_popescu: changes ~nothing, there's publications out there that print bs about how magical doohickeys reduce gasoline usage by cars and shaman x cured cancer and gingivitis.
mircea_popescu: there's also publications what'd try and get hold of an acvtual engineer, or doctor, or w/e relevant professional.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they're paid for it, neh
asciilifeform: the doohickeys, that is
mircea_popescu: on the topic of bitcoin, 100% of relevant professionals is tmsr. like it or not.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from the pov of $heathen derp rag, it's gavin
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform entirely their choice to make, copyrwriting or journalism. i dun care. but the choice must be made, by them, and as such.
asciilifeform: and if not gavin, then hearn
mircea_popescu: this is nobody's pov.
asciilifeform: really ? cuz erry time i see the heathen liquishit, it's still ~same pieces of shit being quoted
mircea_popescu: because you're all lazy and psychotic, and would rather talk my ear off than go ask a girl out.
mircea_popescu: now enough of that shit.
asciilifeform: mod6: let's put the letters ( + any replies ) on yer www, when they go, so we dun gotta have this thread 2nd time
mod6: So just post whatever letters to the the world on mod6.net? And not the ML?
mod6: well, lol, I guess the ML is in a bit of a state lately.
asciilifeform: ml too
asciilifeform: was about to say, aha
mircea_popescu: absolutely. then we can actuallky DISCUSS them, rather than typically non-tmsr-esque "oh, i did something sometime i don't remember what i don't remember when and i didn't follow what happened".
asciilifeform: actually prolly oughta deedbot'em for good measure
mircea_popescu: moreover, if these letters were already on www, the "wtf is this foundation doing" q would not have been needed last week.
asciilifeform: that way the fishwrap morons can never 'you never asked!11'
mod6: Oh, that's what I think we did last time asciilifeform. deedbot.
mircea_popescu: link ?
mod6: Me?
mod6: I gotta dig it up. It was from the "if you go on a fork..." thing iirc.[
mircea_popescu: did a bunch of such letters end up on deedbot ?
mircea_popescu: you mean 2015 ?
mod6: i'll find it, just a minute. then I gotta reivew the rest of the log, and move on to pizarro things.
mircea_popescu: check it out, and it prevented the fork, and you... frogot about it ? never used it again ?
asciilifeform: i dun remember any such thing, never thought to do it with bernstein et al
mod6: it may have been a while ago, ya.
mircea_popescu: why not use the methods that ARE PROVEN TO WORK jaysus!
asciilifeform: aaa! mircea_popescu's missile battery letter
asciilifeform: yea
mircea_popescu: "everyone thinks gavin is the expert", says alf, in 2018. but when in 2015 mp said "fuck gavin", gavin got fucked. everyone thinks ?
mircea_popescu: gimme a fucking break.
asciilifeform: i dun have an oracle re 'everyone', only the mouthpiece fishwraps, and even these i'll admit i read irregularly
mircea_popescu: girls don't think what you think they think, not least of all because ~the only fucking reason~ you lie to yourself about thinking that's what girls think is so as to save your lazy ass the effort of ever talking to one.
asciilifeform: mod6: mircea_popescu is right, gotta write'em, or else cannot say 'they dun know'
mircea_popescu: and even that aside -- gotta write them, or otherwise vehehery tenuously can say "r foundation". because this is the sorta thing a foundation does, and this one's chartered to do -- outreach.
mod6: I'm not at all sure, in every sense of the word, of what to write about the subject. All I know was "bug found in core version 0.16.X"
mod6: And for the time being, I've got Pizarro things that need doing.
mod6: But I'd be glad to have some help, if anyone is willing to help ole mod6.
mod6: mircea_popescu: I think it was this one, as it were: http://deedbot.org/deed-363752-1.txt
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857654 << Yeah, this would help for sure. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-03 16:24 asciilifeform: possibly idea for hanbot, who was considering taking up tbf , and is in fact experienced hand in subj
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857655 << Aha, totally am. Any help would be great. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-03 16:26 asciilifeform: if mod6 is overloaded, i can give it a shot myself later this wk, but imho this is suboptimal, asciilifeform does not represent tbf
asciilifeform: mod6: example: 'dear herr editor at volkischer beobachter: you have been misinformed by your sources re the subject of bitcoin. the client maintained by gavin et al, known as 'core', currently offered at version x.x, and infamous for lethally compromising bugs, most recently [qntra link] , is not the definitive client but a work of malicious impostors ; the actual bitcoin client can be found at [tbf] , consists of x LOC (and decreasi
asciilifeform: ng), and is offered with pgp-verified record of changes [phf's patch viewer], .... etc '
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you think of this angle
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857737 << nicoleci - So what was going on there was this: I had compiled a new trb with a new patch that I was testing, and I was remarking about that it's build was finished. ☝︎

asciilifeform: mod6: is above enuff to start from, or need help to expand
mod6: I could probably start there. I am getting winded here guys.
mod6: I mean, my ticker can't keep up with this stuff. Gonna give me a heart-attack.
asciilifeform: mod6: i've been eating, breathing, sweating, microshit, for past 14hrs. and this is 2nd week...
mod6: I gotta get the report done for pizarro. I've also gotta lock in a price and get the bills paid.
mod6: Once I have those things done, I can move on to these other things. Unless mircea_popescu and asciilifeform find it prudent that I drop what I'm doing there and write whatever this thing is.
asciilifeform: mod6: i dun think it will be a terrible thing if it has to wait a day, so long as we do it shortly
mod6: I'm not going to be done with this report a few days ~at a minimum~.
mod6: Last month took 17 days.
asciilifeform: ugh
mod6: ikr
mod6: Hopefully it won't be that bad this time, but I'm having to learn all of this stuff as I go.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform certainly better than current "state of the art"!
mircea_popescu: hanbot lend the fellows a hand ? ☟︎☟︎
mod6: BingoBoingo just got me his numbers, so I can start calculations on that stuff now. And I think I'm about to lock in a price point for October. Which we need not only to keep the lights on, but also so we can start invoicing folks so I don't take another beating like I did in July.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> I'm not going to be done with this report a few days ~at a minimum~. << I am here so you can unload this on me
mod6: All I'm saying folks is that I'm doing the best that I can with what I've got to work with.
mod6: Yes, mircea_popescu, any help from hanbot, yourself, asciilifeform would be awesome. I just have too many things atm.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they have a point, only sane way to look at the orcs is as what they are -- a primitive culture.
mircea_popescu: pantsuit is not substantially different from any other inconsequential group of niggers the white man subdued to date.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Which is why it is entered into the record. All of the secondary reporting made finding their report ON THEIR OWN PROJECT a serious bitch.
mircea_popescu: ikr.
mircea_popescu: nice going.
BingoBoingo: Which is why unlike so many other finds it got the early qntra mega block quote treatment while so many other things get the archive.is take it or leave it
mod6: BingoBoingo: If you really want to take this on, I won't object. I had thought that we would kinda go over it together... but if you wanna work through it and see how it goes, that's fine. ben_vulpes told me that he would review the report before we publish it again this month.
