mp_en_viaje: Oscar helpfully shared graphs showing particular IP addresses being hit << were these in here and i missed ?

mp_en_viaje: wtf is "apparently hostile", what gave the appearance ? was it the coloring ? something else ?

mp_en_viaje: so basically, 20mbps sustained over... looks like 10 minutes or so = too much ?

mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, if you're gonna send as is anyway, why the fyuck am i reading it

mp_en_viaje: the reason i asked about the graphs was because, eg, "Oscar helpfully shared graphs showing particular IP addresses being hit with substantial, apparently hostile incoming traffic with targeted at a few IPs in the IP range." is entirely false.

mp_en_viaje: not helpful, not showing, not subsyantial, not apparently or otherwise hostile.

mp_en_viaje: "I would like to know what options are available going forward" is about 500 words too many for the simple concept of

mp_en_viaje: "either you get your shit together or i move on, pick exactly one."

mp_en_viaje: 3. What carriers run fiber to the datacenter? I would like to know what all the connectivity options available are. << dawg ffs, i showed you them.

mp_en_viaje: nevermind questions. 1. i am stuck with customers correctly pointing out that my uptime this month will ~maybe~ reach two nines. it'll be a wonder if this outage doesn't put me entirely out of business. 2. do you have any actual substantial anything to point to, because brandishing about "hostile" and "attack" and etcetera empty wordage isn't doing anything for me. in particular 20mbps for a few minutes doesn't even register

mp_en_viaje: on any kind of radar, i feel like an idiot showing people a trival example of a saturated pipe and pretending like they should be impressed.

mp_en_viaje: so far the situation here is that you stumbled on the cable and took half a day to plug it back in. got anything that can actually move us past this ?

mp_en_viaje: problem is that after you sent the previous yokel text, there's nothing that you can say to deyokel self.

mp_en_viaje: kinda the wisdom of not doing that.

mp_en_viaje: sounds like a plan.

mp_en_viaje: it's not like ~you~ did it , you know. take it easy.

mp_en_viaje personally has no intention of pulling the plug over diana_coman 's inability to do smg work today because of this for instance ;

mp_en_viaje: but you also can't continue in this vein, what, whenever random internet dork sends half a quarter of an eight gbps your way you're croaked for the evening ? tis ridoinculous.

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i suppose the next step is to go through the list of ixps see where you can sit.

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940365 << i don't even recall now how uy was picked. must've been a lsit and some sorta process

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940481 << this sounds right yea

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940486 << a dc may have redundant connectivity, but this is a physical not a logical matter. conider your house may also have redundant wiring, such that you have plugs in different rooms, but nevertheless they're all powered by the same monopolistic power co.

mp_en_viaje: i do not believe it is possible the dc in question has any kind of alternative, on the simple basis of their asn being shown to peer with nobody other than antel, which is specifically uruguay's state monopoly on data transport.

mp_en_viaje: this is a judgment much akin to, "look, in your locale enel spa is the energy provider, monopoly by law, you're buying energy from them" "i'd have to look for my contract" "no, actually, you don't have to. i can tell you from ten thousand miles away, on this basis"

mp_en_viaje: anyway, to get back to it : what 2 years has (perhaps) done is given us some real world data, such that we can compare the list of criteria we originally abstractly derived from our own imaginations and best intentions, with the story of how well they worked out in practice.

mp_en_viaje: if indeed the observations are that 1. "non-nato" is meaningless, contemporary fucktard mindset is socialism anyways everywhere ; AND 2. the true problem for republican isp is actually clean bw, which "datacenters" fail to provide,

mp_en_viaje: THEN the correct move is towards an ixp. there's thousands of these (eg bcnet-operated VTE).

mp_en_viaje: see also https://www.euro-ix.net/en/ etc.

mp_en_viaje: but if not, then something else.

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940488 << in fairness, we kinda knew this going in.

mp_en_viaje: people lie, and the contemporary fucktard mindset is... well... that the point of life is letting them.

mp_en_viaje: the more "advanced" "progressive" shitholes are even trying to ~legislate~ an imaginary ~obligation~ to help the deluded maintain their delusions, spawning all sort and manner of "careerwomen", ninjashoguns etcetera thereby.

mp_en_viaje: in fairness poland rather similar, too. but negligible gaps there, no gaps here.

mp_en_viaje: atm i dunno i'd trust anyone from russia or recommend anyone move there. the one time this happened it blowed up in such a sickly manner, i absolutely don't want to spend the significant resources involved in dealing with the clean-up. as far as anyone knows, moscow's bogon-radioactive

mp_en_viaje: like in that solaris nonsense. i thought it was unspeakably stupid when it came out ; i still do -- but i am starting to suspect it's not stupid because of itself ; but instead because of the subject matter. in itself, exact blueprint of muscovite.

mp_en_viaje: solaris specifically, i didn't look at any others after that.

mp_en_viaje: THAT NO NIGGERS BUILT

mp_en_viaje: tarantino both understands, and then ~perfectly~, with no remainder narrates, extremely intricate social points.

mp_en_viaje: tarkovsky understands ~nothing, and then shoots static scenes for hours.

mp_en_viaje: "oh, you'll understand by yourself" "of course i will, bitch. and i do not need you for this, or even permit you to live after"

mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, are you talking of post kill-bill tarantino ? because in that we agree, i banned him.

mp_en_viaje: a, no. tarantino in my mouth strictly means pre kill bill.

mp_en_viaje: no, see on my credit pulp fiction, true romance, both jackie brown and foxy brown (in this order)

mp_en_viaje: then present the bill.

mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, to me it seems ~guaranteed~ to happen if truly "exactly opposite"

mp_en_viaje: but yes, post kill bill tarantino === tarkovsky.

mp_en_viaje: "he had it, he lost it, he never got it back". attempts to "intelectual" himself by the breeches, doesn't lift.

mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, how is a woman exactly oppposite ?!

mp_en_viaje: i have a lot more in common wit ha woman than with most other things.

mp_en_viaje: well, are you proposing that "owning three ducks" and "having borrowed three ducks that you have to repay" have "three ducks" in common ?!

mp_en_viaje: i use the set-theory basis for "opposite", yes. two subsets of a set are opposite if they have no shared elements. i'm not entirely sure how to construct an algebraic notion of "opposite" that's not immediate nonsense.

mp_en_viaje: but saying -3 and +3 "have 3 in common" directly leads to nonsense.

mp_en_viaje: but the axis they do not have.

mp_en_viaje: axis pre-exists them, not theirs.

mp_en_viaje: same thing as in, "they're both numbers" ?

mp_en_viaje: i see the difference now.

mp_en_viaje: your notion is exactly my notion, "subset of same set" translates as "they're the same thing" as in, "measures of x coord". then you emphasize giving the symmetry point, where i couldn't care less. and BECAUSE your notion of opposite requires a given symmetry point, then therefore your notion of "what the set may be" is limited thereby, so it'll be things like "measures of coordinates" or such narrow things. whereas my set i

mp_en_viaje: s always "the universe"

mp_en_viaje: as far as i'm concerned, any two subsets of the universe that have no shared points are in principle opposite, and the symmetry point is to be established through conversation if interesting.

mp_en_viaje: though in general conversation rather circles the shared points problem, because obviously two subsets of the universe will have ~some~ shared points in ~some~ view. but then the invalidation of the view becomes the point, constructing discourse. because obviously man must pick some views.

mp_en_viaje: or at least could be, or could come to be, or be said to be or etcetera. very greek-like approach to the problem.

mp_en_viaje: well, probably expedient most of the time

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940517 << this is reasonable. maybe once outage is actually resolved, forward them something like "look, this is how much i settled on my customers for outage costing, 50% discount on your bw price for next month will very much help". let them feel the burn of their own idiocy in their pocket. if they pay, okay, if not they clearly intend to continue in the same vein so what
