diana_coman: the full list of stuff pulled in by flask seems to be: flask Werkzeug itsdangerous Jinja2 MarkupSafe
asciilifeform: diana_coman: on testbed , print flask.__version__ >> 0.10.1 ; python --version >> 2.7.5 ;
asciilifeform: the cache thing is unused, as lobbes pointed out 2wks ago, you can safely comment it out
asciilifeform: ( this will go into next patch )
diana_coman: asciilifeform: thanks; and yes, the .ext.cache trouble seems to be re v 0. or 1., ugh
asciilifeform: print werkzeug.__version__ >> 0.9.4
asciilifeform: psycopg2's is 2.6.1
asciilifeform: i think that covers all the crapolade
diana_coman: well, by now it seems to me that either ALL match, or otherwise headache; and I suspect that at the next level it's simply either same repo/distro or won't match
asciilifeform: lobbes didja have similar horror when baking yours ?
diana_coman: he's on gentoo so it should be more similar to your env/packages/versions though
asciilifeform: diana_coman i'm curious how you went about installing the libs on yours
asciilifeform: what does 'centos' have ? 'yum' ?
asciilifeform: or didja by hand
diana_coman: asciilifeform: yum, yes
diana_coman: but anyway by now my notes are a full novel
asciilifeform: gentoo has , in any given instance, fuckknowswhat, BUT at least reliably pulls down the particular necessary strand of the spittoon, typically
diana_coman: because of 2.7 etc
asciilifeform: i.e. a working x+y+z
asciilifeform: i recall lobbes was using some kinda system for sucking down py libs that worked through the deps chain, but can't recall what was
diana_coman: there is pip and some easy_install
asciilifeform: this is pretty much the last thing i'd be recommending to people to do, save for the fact that i shat out a log sys in it, lol
diana_coman: as usual, there's no lack of "tools", lolz; only none does anything other than eating up more time, ofc.
asciilifeform: verily
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i vaguely suspect that this is the thing that discouraged past folx who made loggers, from genesising. 'dafuq is the point, likely no one can even replicate this'
asciilifeform: even when i was sewing 'pehbot' , out of ben & trinque's cl logbot, found that it took substantial effort to get the req'd cl libs onto the box
asciilifeform: ( and that's a box already, years ago, set up for clism... )
diana_coman: asciilifeform: so then what, I'm still better off writing the bot in C or what?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma jump with a parachute made of garbage bags before writing www-facing proggy in c, but maybe that's just me..
diana_coman: well yes but it's starting to sound even appealing here, lolz
asciilifeform: well if you feel like sweating out 3 kilometres of malloc() and realloc()'s and errno()'s -- who am i to say
diana_coman: given this, I seriously wonder if it can be much worse to make it in ada on top of all the gnat-mess including unbounded strings and gnat.sockets and everything else; at least the full gnat so far *is* more transferable
asciilifeform: diana_coman: you'd need to bake pg glue for ada, there aint any
asciilifeform: ( and it'd in turn have to use pg's c ffi, afaik there's no other usable glue for it at all )
asciilifeform: i.e. nulltermed strings & all.
asciilifeform: ( and then face the q : ~which~ pg !? )
diana_coman: I'll go and sleep.
asciilifeform: and then you might find, as i did, that gnat.sockets mysteriously barfs in certain cases
asciilifeform: goodnight diana_coman
asciilifeform: thinking about it, i'm not terribly surprised that centos 6 dun suck down a working set of shitlibs: loox like it was released in jul 2011 .
asciilifeform: imho instead of rewriting logger for 11th time out of matchsticks and hot glue, would be better to make a proper scripting lang...
asciilifeform: 1 that knows how to pg, socketize, etc.
asciilifeform: atm i have a distinct unpleasant feeling that the ratchet presently does not ratchet very well.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-23 04:51:18 mircea_popescu: it's this device that transforms inca (circular motion) into republic (linear motion) by the principle of only permitting rotary motion in one direction, thereby using the inca mass against itself.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in lulzy spam disclosures: US Office of Foreign Asset Control http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/GLllJ/?raw=true
asciilifeform: lol nigerian office of yandex spam
BingoBoingo: 4 real, Also Argentina is now officially in "selective default" after the latest round of Derpities announced trying to keep hell from breaking loose before October 27th.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the chinese can show up with the slave galleons and start loadin' whenever they feel like. ( and it is a deep enigma, far above asciilifeform's paygrade, to explain wtf they're waiting for )
asciilifeform: their 'wait for his corpse to float by'(tm) school of thought, is more impenetrable imho than their hieroglyphs.
BingoBoingo: Well, probably waiting for local labor prices to drop enough to outsource the spear work to the Paraguayo immigrant population.
BingoBoingo: I suspect Mandarin is not a language in the mundane sense.
asciilifeform: i suspect (based solely on 'rectal oracle') that argentina to chinese plays same role as 'junk mortgage' house plays to usg ministry of handout-payola .
asciilifeform: i.e. somehow is worth to'em to continue pretense that owning it is worth sumthing.
asciilifeform: ( or, alternative rewrite of same equation, that the resourced to clean up the gangrenous pus from puncturing the bezzle, aint available )
asciilifeform: *resources
asciilifeform: so will go unpunctured until reaches whatever physical limit exists for it.
asciilifeform: argentina aint even peculiar in this respect, exactly same q can be asked re usa & the rest of reich
asciilifeform: they already went through... 2 ? 3 ? 'default' 'refinance' 'rinse & repeat' cycles ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: China doesn't even particularly like Argentina. The Argentine Navy shoots at their fishing boats.
asciilifeform: not required hypothesis -- lafondistani monkey also shoots at usg bureaucrat if happens to get in range
BingoBoingo: I don't see a situation where the Chicoms step in to save Argentina. Argentina isn't rich in natural resources like Vzla.
asciilifeform: dun keep the latter from printing moneys to hand to the former
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: my suspicion is that it (like in fact usa) is a 'paper resource'
asciilifeform: 'worth' strictly on acct of having money flushed into it
asciilifeform: ( and then idjits noticing 'someone paid for this! it must be worth sumthing' )
asciilifeform: mp had a likbez where used example of recent pyramid 'groupon', where similar.
BingoBoingo: No one depends on the strength of Argentine paper holding to prop up anything. Even Uruguay has adopted a strict decoupling from Argentina so as to not sink with them.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not argentine paper, lol. chinese paper.
asciilifeform: they almost certainly have an internal bezzle that considers the sank moneys as 'asset' of some sort.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: picture if you had a herd of worm-ridden cows that produced 0 milk, and meat that no one would eat even in gulag. how to make any money from them ? one way is to keep feeding'em and 'financialize' them, borrow against'em from idiots, 'leverage', etc
BingoBoingo: The blackboard rate today hit 0.38/0.98 compra/venta. Part of this is intentional monetary policy re: "fuck Argentina", but there being less distance between zero and compra than compra and venta is a fairly new phenomenon.
asciilifeform: waitasec, so, what , BingoBoingo could walk in, buy 0.38, sell for 0.98 immediately, and come out with a wad of phree green ?
asciilifeform: or is this only for 'speshul' people ?
snsabot: Logged on 2017-06-08 13:09:01 a111: Logged on 2015-03-06 03:29 mircea_popescu: if you are one of the people buying belgian rubber concessions on the stock exchanges, you make money. if you're in africa, you make quick with the hands and feet.
asciilifeform: or do i misread the #s somehow
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The cambios buy per 0.38, sell for 0.98. Very infrequent the blackboard rate is used with Argentine pesos, usually cambios offer better rates on pesos Argentinos for all but trivial volumes.
asciilifeform: aa!
BingoBoingo: Other direction
asciilifeform: ook cuz otherwise wtf
BingoBoingo: The wide blackboard spread is because no one wants to sit on pesos argentinas
asciilifeform: if owner of argentina wants someone to buy it, could start whenever he wants by sending in the wood chippers and mulching the 'samba si, trabajo no' aboriginals 24/7 until leaves the 2% or what who were the reasonable auto mechanics etc .
asciilifeform: as it is, hot waste from chernobyl is actually moar marketable ( there are actual uses for e.g. co-60 )
BingoBoingo: Indeedd
BingoBoingo: Cobalt 60 has many uses.
asciilifeform: pretty expensive, too, interestingly -- i priced
BingoBoingo: A labor movement that wants the factories to leave has no use.
asciilifeform: i doubt ( and esp. after mp barfed ) that anyone would buy live argentines at any price point . it's like trying to sell sewer rats. normally you gotta ~pay~ someone to trap & remove these.
asciilifeform: perhaps brazil will buy the place, for nuke waste dump.
trinque: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-29#1931886 << didn't, and I'm a little hesitant to continue on in that vein before making sure I know what the desirable product is.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-29 15:27:44 asciilifeform: !Q later tell trinque didja ever post a arm64 cuntoo ?
lobbesbot: trinque: Sent 6 hours and 25 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> didja ever post a arm64 cuntoo ?
BingoBoingo: Why would Brasil buy? Argentina doing what Argentina does is part of Brasil's sales pitch.
trinque: huh, that's sort of annying behavior.
asciilifeform: trinque: well i'm about to sew together a 15 unit arm64 cluster.
asciilifeform: trinque: hm ?
trinque: lobbesbot, maybe it could pm instead
trinque: asciilifeform: I mean whether cuntoo is desirable as is.
asciilifeform: trinque: is there a substantial missing piece i'm unaware of ?
trinque: trying to learn in my old age to take half a smell of the market before hauling off and building something
asciilifeform: afaik it's entirely workable atm
asciilifeform: and certainly in comparison to asciilifeform's fossilized gentoo currently in use
trinque: kk
trinque: possible avenue of porting is to stand up an amd64 cuntoo, and then use crossdev to rebuild all ebuilds at a specified root dir
trinque: looking for what the env variable is
asciilifeform: CFLAGS="-march=aarch64" i expect
trinque: nah, the one where you can tell portage to blast its built-proggie output to a new root
trinque: I've used this to great benefit to blap down an embedded firmware
asciilifeform only ever built embeddeds (e.g. for 'm', for 'pogo', etc) via 'buildroot', never made a gentoo for'em
asciilifeform: i was orig. planning to attempt a cuntoo for 'm' but then barfed
asciilifeform: ( it, despite month+ of pure asm massage -- found to be incurably slow )
asciilifeform: is actually why new rk plant -- will be sold to folx using conventional www stack etc, traditional softs, even trinque's vpnism idea, and the like.
trinque: ah it's just ROOT
asciilifeform: trinque do you want a rk btw ? i have some spares here, can send you
trinque will pick up his own, but thanks very much!
asciilifeform: aite
asciilifeform: get'em while they're alive. last time for 6mo i was convinced it was outta print permanently
trinque: link to the exact model? and I'll stand up my crossdev stack for it
trinque: and document
asciilifeform: roc-rk3328-cc .
trinque: aye aye
asciilifeform: comes in 3 sizes (1G, 2G, 4G)
asciilifeform: no storages on pcb (is major reason why i picked it) , needs sd to boot from and then usb3 stick to mount root
asciilifeform: for thread-completeness, asciilifeform's fillings for this machine.
asciilifeform: a++ trinque , if you bake this, will be much appreciated .
trinque: cool, got a big'n and small otw, arrives tomorrow
asciilifeform: dun fughet the heat sink
asciilifeform: it runs rather hot when 'naked'
trinque: cool, got also
asciilifeform: the vendor's heat sink is pretty spartan, but worx, and snaps in with bare hands, convenient.
asciilifeform: trinque: ave1 even made a working gnat, but it doesn't know how to do preemtible threads.
asciilifeform: (apparently this was never yet achieved on arm64)
asciilifeform fwiw suspects that most ada proggies dun even use preemptible threads -- they spawn N threads and they run until the warhead detonates..
asciilifeform: e.g. ffa/peh dun use threads at all.
lobbes: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-29#1932021 << indeed, testbed on trinquean cuntoo. Yeah, did not encounter same horrors (besides the need for commenting out the cache thing)
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-29 20:52:37 diana_coman: he's on gentoo so it should be more similar to your env/packages/versions though
lobbes: For clarity, on testbed I got the eater.py and the reader.py working fine. Was able to view loglines and search with no issue (on localhost only, didn't test port forwarding). Did *not* test the bot.py, however. For reference, my version info: Flask 0.12.2; psycopg2 2.7.4; Python 2.7.15
lobbes: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-29#1932030 << on the testbed I got both flask and psycopg2 via portage

snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-29 18:32:30 asciilifeform: iirc lobbes actually wrote a vintage-php frontend . but bot is still py and uses same spittoon
lobbes: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-29#1932106 << I agree this is probably the proper behavior. But it ain't changing anytime soon. The heathen coad lobbesbot runs on [i.e. it doesn't sit on the logbot tree like auctionbot] is slated to be discontinued just as soon as I get some more important things complete. Not sinking any more time trying to staple that dead horse
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-29 21:54:01 trinque: lobbesbot, maybe it could pm instead
trinque: fair enough
spyked: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-29#1931973 <-- most likely same level. ftr, I'ma attempt to apply mircea_popescu's pill of stealing everything related, up to and including sbcl, which hopefully should make it easier to reproduce items written on top of it.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-29 18:34:40 asciilifeform: saddest thing is, i'm not even certain it's more retarded than e.g. hunchentoot
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-23 05:47:14 mircea_popescu: this understanding is current as of cca 2016. meanwhile we agreed that because a) it is preferrable to work with republican rather than imperial items and to prevent more imperial seepage than needed ; and because b) there's no limit to signature count as per long standing observations and discussions (with a very early asciilifeform cca 2013 maybe) then therefore the correct approach is to sign things early, t
spyked: problem remains one of bootstrapping: iirc sbcl requires a working lisp in order to be built.

spyked: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-29#1931955 <-- recall, /me already wrote a toy prototype as his introduction to ada. other than the fact that it looks noobish and requires work to integrate with the c-isms, writing logger on top of it would also require something along the lines of a. mod_adalisp and b. handling other wwwistic s

spyked: re. http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-25#1931011 <-- /me has been thinking a bit about this after reading the discussion, and it occurs to me that one of the reasons that might keep people from signing items is that there's no way to "unsign" them. nor that is desirable imho, but "what if" some sign piece of coad turns out to burn your house to the ground. in any case, this reveals to me the (
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-25 13:25:11 diana_coman: but it's a more difficult thing to catch as it were: as above, it's unclear if "no signature" is a sign of "seeking to hide imperfection" or of "no read" or wtf already
spyked: perhaps obvious) fact that the signature says something about the signatory *at the time* when he/she has signed, not necessarily at the time that I'm using the object in question.
spyked: grrr... *is that, *some signed piece
spyked needs to wake up; bbl, tea
diana_coman: spyked: there's no way to undo what one did, yes; make amends maybe, undo no.
diana_coman: re logger atm I am undecided as my options so far seem to be: 1. do another round of madness with flask until it works on this old (but stable at least) centos 2. replicate environment aka burn down centos and have fun installing remotely on the machine cuntoo 3. simply run irssi (as I'm otherwise running this code anyway as my client) with logging to db into an mp-wp database and be done with it (possibly each line a one comment - will end
diana_coman: ofc there's alway 4. give up on it at this time
diana_coman: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-29#1932144 - do you mean cuntoo or what exactly?

spyked: diana_coman, yeah, well I suppose that's another reason why the manifest mechanism is useful: if I signed a patch P at t1, and later I found out that it does something stupid or subtly malicious or whatever; then at t2 I can sign the "inverse" to P and give context to that signature in the manifest (whoever tries to press that has to know why particularly I made some change)

asciilifeform: wb girlattorney
girlattorney: hi asciilifeform
asciilifeform: girlattorney: were you able to make your trb node ?
girlattorney: almost, then left unsynced at 585k height, but still have the data.
girlattorney: I have read the log for a couple of weeks then now logged in to make other questions
asciilifeform: girlattorney: before you do, plz clarify, 'left unsynced' means it in fact sat all summer trying to sync and never did?! or switched off ?
girlattorney: switched off
asciilifeform: aa ok
girlattorney: i was trying to moving it on a better colo and left everything off for a while
asciilifeform: girlattorney: indeed these are very sensitive to quality of net pipe.
girlattorney: i also had a nice graph made with darkstat about the peers that helped most on syncing from 0
asciilifeform: girlattorney: i have 1 going on a residential pipe since '15, but it is a rather costly pipe
girlattorney: then rebooted the machine and lost the stats
asciilifeform: girlattorney: aa, so you had the 'who-gave' patch, neat. unfortunate that lost. would be very interesting to read.
girlattorney: basically most of the juice (chunks of 50-60gb) camed from your node asciilifeform and bingo boingo
asciilifeform: unsurprising, these afaik are the most reliable public nodes at this time.
girlattorney: then there is also 40 gb from a romanian IP
asciilifeform: possibly mp_en_viaje's or spyked's
girlattorney: i still have the iotop stats, and will make a post somewhere soon with them
asciilifeform: girlattorney: as you have found now to own satisfaction, w/out having to take asciilifeform's word for it -- the actual # of ~working~ (i.e. stores and serves the entire chain) public nodes on the net, is very very small.
asciilifeform: most of what sits around claiming to be btc node, is really 'pressed-sawdust' simulacra.
girlattorney: btw, after stripping out DNS on my important applications (such as TRB) my question now was about IP space assigned from IANA, could this be in the future an attack vector?
girlattorney: in particular i'm referring about BGP hijacking and the general fact that IANA is a third party of a government, that a day could decide to limit the user freedom
asciilifeform: girlattorney: observe that there is no attempt at authenticating peers in the existing trb. you could easily be connecting to washington's node when thinking yer connecting to e.g. mp_en_viaje's. at one time i published an experimental patch where can route to people you personally know via ssh pipes, but currently not in use anywhere afaik.
asciilifeform: girlattorney: bitcoin net presently ~worx simply because 'impossible to fool ~all~ of the people ~all~ of the time'(tm)(r) via ip hijinks
girlattorney: fair enough
asciilifeform: can 'fool ~some~ of the people ~some~ of the time' indeed
asciilifeform: the more properly working trb nodes there are -- the less payoff to anyone for monkeying with their connectivity. at present in fact i do not know how many there are. not erryone bothers to advertise .
asciilifeform: and if running with default config they are invisible to the heathen 'node list' www's.
girlattorney: so as long as trb doesn't care about the peers, and there isn't a single point of failure (aka DNS and root servers) we are sound, correct?
asciilifeform: girlattorney: most folks who know how to operate trb, have at least 1 public and some # of unadvertised nodes.
asciilifeform: girlattorney: the major weak point is propagation from miners, who are living in own parallel chinese universe and between whom and trb there is a thick layer of garbage.
asciilifeform: ( evidently, as you can see, not too thick to propagate blocks in something like realtime. presently. )
girlattorney: and if i have understood correctly in BGP you do advertise your own routes and eventually someone go to your home and say "you cannot advertise these routes"
girlattorney: is not like DNS where there is a precise hierarchy, correct?
asciilifeform: girlattorney: presently -- correct. washington is continuously trying to push a washingtonized pseudo-bgp 'replacement' but yet not much uptake.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-06-25 16:35:23 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: usg ministry of lulz is trying to push usgtronic 'pki' bgp. so, 1st gotta 'make weather', vandalize a bit, drum up interest.
asciilifeform: they ~would~ like to turn it into something resembling dns.
girlattorney: i'm in europe, so in my case the middleman should be ripe ncc
girlattorney: but haven't understood if ripe depends from iana
asciilifeform: girlattorney: euro backbone is also pretty interesting from this pov.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-21 00:00:24 asciilifeform: ( often enuff there's a concealed -- if not always well-concealed -- roundtrip to london / washington, sitting in 'between austria and switzerland' etc )
BingoBoingo: girlattorney: BGP is held together by routers on the edges of individual networks holding the entire route table in memory. In part there's folks allocating IP address blocks. In the other part there's the routers accepting and/or rejecting updates to the routes they already know.
girlattorney: thanks for the insights
girlattorney: from what i've understood iana is the big boy that decided everything in the beginning, then created some other orgs to give the idea that every continent got it's own independent association
girlattorney: but in the end they are still controlling the v4 and v6 public space allocation
asciilifeform: girlattorney: the washingtonization of the net was 'soft-pedalled' so that the few actually independent kingdoms , e.g. ru, would allow their indigenous nets (e.g. 'fido') to fully decay and fall apart
asciilifeform: rather than to compete with arpa's
asciilifeform: slowly the 'soft' is going out, and instead 'hard'
BingoBoingo: Anyone else waiting for one of their nodes to eat and spread block 592450?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: mine's on 592449
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: mine as well
girlattorney: i've read that with ripe ncc you have your loa with your own ip space, if you "fucks up" 3 times announcing blocks, the peers connected to you have to disconnect
girlattorney: (ip blocks)
asciilifeform: girlattorney: usg takes the 'rats in a barrel' approach to ipv4, they hog 80+% of the ip space and wait for the remaining people to choke from crowding and eventually submit to centralized control
girlattorney: make sense
asciilifeform: girlattorney: re colo -- talk with diana_coman , who has been surveying various colos. ( piz is pretty packed in re trb, has no fewer than 3 operating nodes . and really these benefit from being dispersed geographically, rather than concentrated in 1-2 cages ! )
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-30 13:40:12 girlattorney: i was trying to moving it on a better colo and left everything off for a while
asciilifeform: girlattorney: diana_coman lives here + in her chan #ossasepia .
girlattorney: i must disclose that at the current value of BTC i'm haven't got so much to justify multiple nodes in expensive colos
girlattorney: but i'll get in touch to have an idea of prices and availability
asciilifeform: in most places, a trb-grade box leases for equiv. of maybe 100 $ (usa) .
asciilifeform: ( per mo. )
girlattorney: 100 a month is too much, im in the 20 range atm
asciilifeform: girlattorney: it is difficult to get anything for so little. in some parts of europistan, e.g. romania, residential (claimed) GB fiber goes for ~10/mo, but industrial rack slot with guaranteed mains current and bandwidth still closer, last i knew, to that 100 figure
asciilifeform: girlattorney: trying to get trb box for 20 is rather like trying to get luxury automobile for 1000
asciilifeform: net connectivity only seems cheap because residential isp 'oversell' their capacity.
asciilifeform: real pipe is quite expensive. at e.g. piz it is substantial % of the operating cost.
girlattorney: if i can ask, what is the oversell rate of a pizarro grade isp?
asciilifeform: this was actually discussed recently
asciilifeform: piz has a 200Mb pipe, and on some days it is quite crowded.
asciilifeform: currently we do not have precise measurement in realtime. but on most days i can get 100-500kB/s to my box there (from usa)
asciilifeform: but sometimes this falls to 50, or worse, when 1 or more of the piz inhabitants is at high load.
asciilifeform: girlattorney: today piz is an 'all you can eat' shop, from subscriber pov. but eventually will have to meter.
girlattorney: kB so about 1-4 mbits?
asciilifeform: correct
asciilifeform: girlattorney: isps in the nato reich seem 'fast' , but only for so long as the connecting peer is also in the reich. connectivity to the free world is rather more limited.
asciilifeform: the 'flat topology' of the net is largely an illusion.
girlattorney: read the bingo bongo post about cdn and local intranets with load of bandwith
girlattorney: just to feed netflixers
asciilifeform: when you get out of the reich space, it begins to very much matter where you are vis-a-vis your peer.
girlattorney: but then when you go outside, you instantly go from a 10 lanes road to a single lane road
asciilifeform: girlattorney: correct. in usa there are a great number of 'televison'-flavoured nominally ip-based services, and they mostly do not use the actual net at all, but instead connect to a cabinet in the isp's local house.
asciilifeform: aha.
asciilifeform: girlattorney: see also this predicted endgame for internet in usa.
girlattorney: what is sad if that currently if you are in europe, to reach south america, you HAVE to pass through USA
girlattorney: *is that
asciilifeform: girlattorney: there's supposedly a fiber from brazil to portugal, iirc, but still owned by reich-controlled conglomerate afaik.
girlattorney: won't change much politically, but this cable has the potential to lower the overseas link prices
girlattorney: and we could get cheaper bandwith
girlattorney: that fiber that already exist from brazil to portugal is only used for telephone traffic (can't remember where i read this)
asciilifeform: this may be so . and given the delay b/w e.g. piz & europistan, i'm quite certain the packets go a few undocumented 'extra' 1000 km .
girlattorney: (atlantis 2)
asciilifeform: almost certainly to north amer.
asciilifeform: the (consistent) delays you can measure with own hands, are quite revealing of the actual physical topology.
girlattorney: the game changer should arrive with "ella link"
BingoBoingo: There's several SA to Europe pipes, Almost all of them go through Fortaleza, Brazil
asciilifeform: girlattorney: sometimes this reaches 'comedy' level, i.e. you're connecting from washington to new york and it goes -- evidently -- through london
girlattorney: in 2020
girlattorney: BingoBoingo i think you aren't aware that currently there isn't an IP route from fortaleza to eu
girlattorney: tried many times to research on this
asciilifeform: ( usg's nsa has an ancient charter, nominally still in effect, where somehow 'not spy inside usa'. but this is made into joke, instead route packet via britain, where identical branch office w/ same bugs )
girlattorney: https://www.submarinecablemap.com/
girlattorney: (a direct IP route without hops on NA)
asciilifeform: girlattorney: i'm quite certain presently that you're right, and the packets from south a. go through north a. always. simply based on delay measurements to date.
girlattorney: there are two cables: one from 2000 that afaik carries only phone calls and govt activities (atlantis 2) and the 2nd that is still not operational (ella link)
asciilifeform: ( it's either that or there's a 3000km spool randomly sitting in brazil , that it goes through !! )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Out of curiosity could you report what your node does when fed this thing purported to be block 592450 https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000000000129d844f9717256ffde5555b345f987f25339520e76734?format=hex
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: will try in 20min or so (currently hands fulla crud)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: aite
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what was result when you tried ?
BingoBoingo: Pretty sure my copy-paste buffer munged the hex: Block decode failed (code -22)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ftr i've never 1nce resorted to spoon-feeding my noad
asciilifeform: always did the 'let's give it a day or 3' thing
BingoBoingo: After a long stretch of not needing to give a day or two and seeing the whole trb-iverse visible from my chair stuck on the same block, I figure why not try to forcefeed the problem block
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in very recent times i in fact observed prb propagating blocks that aint in fact kosher !
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-01 18:31:03 asciilifeform: at this pt, seems quite evident that someone is throwing around crafted wedge chains (i.e. mined after-the-fact , with backdated timestamp, going from older block) specifically to wedge syncing folx.
asciilifeform: i.e. that no genuine bitcoin node will eat.
asciilifeform: hrm maybe this is wrong log link.
asciilifeform: but this also observed.
asciilifeform: e.g. there.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-01 17:39:18 asciilifeform: dorion: '08/01/19 01:11:33 InvalidChainFound: invalid block=0000000000000000000b height=588012 work=2327381792950809691787748424' << somebody's sending invalid blox. happens erryday.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: btw for that heathen dump, the conversion is xxd -r -p liquishit.txt > liquishit.bin .
BingoBoingo: ty
asciilifeform looks at 'zoolag' log, it quite depressing picture, 900000 'heathen command, banned' erry hr
asciilifeform: the network is in prolly saddest shape it's ever been in
mp_en_viaje: www is ~same
mp_en_viaje: anyways, i'll be off for the night. cya all laterz
asciilifeform: nighty mp_en_viaje
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: btw if you haven't noticed, that block aint edible, it's a MB and half !!
asciilifeform: apparently 'blockchain info' nao serves gavinized blox as 'bitcoin'
BingoBoingo: Or there's some segshit attached which should be shaved off
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you know how to shave it, plox to say.
BingoBoingo: I do not
asciilifeform: i dun deal w/ prbisms with any regularity any moar
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and indeed no one in known trb world seems to have ...450 just yet.
BingoBoingo: Hence the poking
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: no human being seems to have *450 yet, so i can't very well try an' eat it.
asciilifeform: for all i know -- this is the long-awaited 1st shot of the great war.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: quite likely, if you were to try an' reprocess that turd into a trb-edible block, you will end with a perma-wedged node.
asciilifeform: ( if yer lucky, it'll reorg when the actual 450 shows up )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Apparently now blocks have a size and a stripped size. Looking for a raw stripped 450 in the wild
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: last time this q was raised, asciilifeform sat and wrote in fact 80% of a 'tmsr node explorer' proggy, to try an' find 'where are the humans' instead of continuing to rely on chance. but never got chance to finish.
mod6: i've got up through 451 now.
lobbesbot: mod6: Sent 3 hours and 6 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> the links to your pizarro banners appear to all be 404 on mod6.net, is there any way you could assemble all the banners together in a blog post or something?
asciilifeform: mod6: oh hm. can haz dumpblock of 450-451 plox ?
mod6: was stuck on 449 for a bit tho.
BingoBoingo: mod6: I suddenly hit up to 453 all within the last minute
mod6: BingoBoingo: cool
mod6: asciilifeform: lemme check
asciilifeform: or mod6 let's give it a few min
mod6: as per your comment re banners, BingoBoingo, will look.
mod6: asciilifeform: ok cool thx.
mod6: 455 nao...
asciilifeform: seems like 450 is 1 of those monsters that takes 10-20min to verify
mod6: happens sometimes, ya
asciilifeform: ( and, recall, when trb is verifying , all net processing grinds to a halt )
asciilifeform: you'll see kilometre of 'socket closed' and is all
asciilifeform: and indeed zoolag's been sitting in disk i/o wait for ~10m nao..
asciilifeform: ( samsung ssd, no less )
mod6: *nod*
mod6: BingoBoingo: ok, banners should be there. want to try again? (otherwise, can move to blog post)
asciilifeform: wb mod6 btw
mod6: thanks alf
asciilifeform: mod6: how've you been
asciilifeform: ( i assume -- 9th circle of salt mine hell ? )
mod6: busy. took a vacation. needed to think about things. mainly about my tarpit problems; still a problem circa november of last year.
mod6: but yeah, 9th circle. but now, I'm committing myself to getting rid of the salt-mine, somehow. I've got to do some thinking, and talking to peoples, etc. but I want out of that life.
asciilifeform: mod6: talk with lobbes , he seems to have made progress escaping his.
mod6: cheers, yeah will do.
asciilifeform: mod6: asciilifeform presently is still in his relatively 'humane house arrest' gulag
asciilifeform: mod6: it's a 'damocle's sword' sort of existence, if/when it folds, may well end up in a conventional one again.
mod6: *nod* in the early days, pre-tmsr, I had a similar thing, was much easier to stay focused/up-to-date.
mod6: but now, need to re-invent myself a bit. need to move on from 9-5ism, and be my own man. will be a "project" for me, but working on the deets/plans atm.
asciilifeform: mod6: when you succeed in this, i'ma defo read your escape memoir.
mod6: thanks alf, will write when complete.
asciilifeform: all of asciilifeform's attempts at escape to date, only ended with deeper pit.
mod6: indeed like quicksand.
mod6: the important thing for me is that i'm resolved to not just sit around and wait for things to happen to me, re: 9-5 tarpit. im starting down a path of emacipation from that. might take some time, but not too much time.
mod6: it's already been too long.
asciilifeform: folx who sit and sit -- eventually brain evaporates
mod6: soon i'll have none left!
asciilifeform: asciilifeform was alraedy half-dead when got out from last 'conventional gulag' in '16
asciilifeform: was pretty close shave.
asciilifeform: re further trb lulz : 24.93.104.14 spams liquishit blox at ~gb/s
asciilifeform: sumbody's 'really trying'
mod6: i see him in my logz too
asciilifeform: mod6: consider standing up a log mirror, like diana_coman today. it is relatively imho 'light' exercise, oughta be good for morale of mod6 , and makes very useful result .
asciilifeform: press asciilifeform's vtree and follow the readme ( with diana_coman's nitpick from 12h ago , re the createdb step )
mod6: i saw in the logs that others were standing one up - immediately thought "ok, yup do this too." but before I embark on yet another thing, need to ensure that i have proper time. but i'll add it to list for sure.
asciilifeform: mod6: depending on whether you have a box where can run python & postgres, it is maybe 1-2hrs of sweat.
mod6: thanks for your efforts in building logtron.
mod6: i use the page daily, works well.
mod6: asciilifeform: cool, got it.
asciilifeform: mod6: it's a nearly starvation-bare logtron atm, missing all kindsa luxuries (e.g. phf's backlinks system) . but atm it's the only 100% working ~published~ one
mod6: cool!
asciilifeform: aand it's made of junkyard parts ( see diana_coman's laments ) . at some pt we will have a civilized, human replacement.
asciilifeform: perhaps before leave fleanode, perhaps after, but will.
asciilifeform: imho an orchestra of log mirrors / bot boxen is a notbad prelude to the eventual gossipdification .
asciilifeform: ( for which will need boxes just the same )
mod6: yea, exactly.
asciilifeform: in re trb -- zoolag ~still~ chewing on a block (perhaps the genuine ..450, perhaps not) even nao.
asciilifeform: enemy has had several yrs nao to work on how to 'mass produce' such blox.
asciilifeform: i expect that the o(1) tx db will become needed at some pt for realtime operation, rather than a 'wouldn't it be nice one day' item.
asciilifeform: the ominous bit is that miners themselves are apparently letting these go w/out actually verifying (or they'd sit as long as zoolag is sitting, per)
mod6: fair enough
mod6: yeah, lots to do still.
asciilifeform: aaand here we go, 592450 .
asciilifeform: aand ..451
asciilifeform: aand loox like we're cooking.
asciilifeform: see, BingoBoingo , not yet nodeocalypse hour.
asciilifeform: ...453...
asciilifeform: ..455
asciilifeform: etc
mod6: im up to 490 on the foundation's node @ piz.
asciilifeform: a++
asciilifeform: meanwhile diana_coman's log appears to be a++ current. pretty neat.
asciilifeform: i'ma switch off the lolazon pseudo-machine mirrors. they've lived out their purpose.
asciilifeform: for thrd-completeness -- informal pipe comparison .
asciilifeform: err,
asciilifeform: apparently mine 301's in that case, let's redo:
asciilifeform: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/ZVZiN/?raw=true .
asciilifeform: diana_coman's actually faster, from usa, than mine .
asciilifeform: re blox -- loox like ..456 is another 'heaviweight'.
asciilifeform: segshitness seems to make these easier to produce -- nonexistent sigs make room for moar past tx references.
asciilifeform: which i guess was at least part of the objective of thrusting it upon the illiterates.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-30#1932454 lulz >>> https://www.submarinecablemap.com/#/submarine-cable/gtmo-1 .

asciilifeform: ^ i suppose streams live vids from torture chamber to centralcommittee.
asciilifeform: apparently this 'gitmo cable' had made it into the fishwraps.
asciilifeform: 35m , supposedly, cost. seems peculiarly cheap, esp. for an usgism.
asciilifeform: i.e. <23k / km !
diana_coman: !!up ossabot
deedbot: ossabot voiced for 30 minutes.
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-08-30#1932575 - ha, so usa can get faster @kukuruz than @uruguay, lolz.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-08-30 16:31:43 asciilifeform: diana_coman's actually faster, from usa, than mine .
diana_coman: test line citing works, quite nice
asciilifeform: diana_coman: a++
diana_coman: for completeness, here's the timing from UK, apparently Moldova wins by far: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/U5Fnx/?raw=true
asciilifeform: diana_coman: doesn't your default /log go to #o ?
asciilifeform: i.e. smaller page
diana_coman: ftr the isp guys were very prompt and willing to do as asked; although one has to ask for the most basic of things, they at least do it
diana_coman: asciilifeform: you are right; let's redo then
asciilifeform: be sure to compare identical pgs when timing ( this tripped me earlier )
asciilifeform: use one with full url w/ chan & day
diana_coman: well, I copied your test, yes; and it seems it's much closer and if anything, reversed indeed: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/AQfnO/?raw=true
diana_coman: uruguay wins after all
asciilifeform: mno, yer seein a 301
asciilifeform: see, 257 bytes
diana_coman: uhm, why?
asciilifeform: gotta use full url w/ chan, to get the page. curl normally doesn't walk 301 ( there's a toggle but i fughot )
diana_coman: hm
diana_coman: the http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log is as earlier so visibly slow though not sure why
asciilifeform: diana_coman: look in reader.py to see why, i made it default to selected chan ( for if folx want to substitute it for phf's on their blogs )
diana_coman: here, using asciilifeform http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/BQ6Lp/?raw=true
asciilifeform: this loox proper.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: ah, you mean that curl doesn't follow the redirect, right.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: from where loaded ?
asciilifeform: britain ?
diana_coman: asciilifeform: uk, reading
diana_coman: yes
asciilifeform: aa ok
asciilifeform: then looks entirely like i expect.
