mats: iirc second cousins are safe
mats: asciilifeform: after some consultation with my betters, one had this to say: "I'm not sure you can blame that on undefined behavior, except insofar as a SIGFPE is just as valid as nasal demons and such at that point."
mats: "it is not a case of the compiler doing something crazy because of undefined behavior."
asciilifeform: mats: fact of the matter is, the machine behaves in a way which will probably surprise most readers.
asciilifeform: that is worth rubbing in peoples' faces.
mats: yes
asciilifeform: whether the compiler, the os, or satan is to blame - is secondary
asciilifeform: if the effect were not so brute, it would've made a good star in an 'underhanded c contest' entry.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-07-2015#1188872 << mistake to symlink 'the west is moribund' and 'la ilaha illa'llah Muhammadun rasul Allah' (tm) (r)
assbot: Logged on 06-07-2015 00:48:54; mircea_popescu: decimation their branchline is in no sense backwards. it is currently the consensus of thinking people (alf said "ru", but really, i agree, everyone with any sense agrees, ru is no determinant) that they are in point of fact broadly correct,
asciilifeform: very different items.
assbot: Inbreeding | West Hunter ... ( http://bit.ly/1NHAN4l )
decimation: asciilifeform: I've made those flamegraphs before, used 'perf' tool
decimation: it comes with kernel
decimation: but getting it to cough up full stacktraces is a pain in the ass
decimation: need libunwind, gdb configured correctly, etc
decimation: actually gdb isn't involved
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-07-2015#1188887 << on top of this, the folks who informed 'amazon' and other usgtronic entities about the xen holes, etc. long before mortals were shown - are legitimate targets.
assbot: Logged on 06-07-2015 01:24:01; mircea_popescu: "you wanted to benefit from responsible disclosure protections, you should have been in the wot" "but at the time i made that decision it seemed a no brainer, why expend the effort" "right. this is why you die."
decimation: ironically usg uses the same formula for 'extending protection'
asciilifeform: i personally refuse to make any distinction between someone who wrote, e.g., 'heartbleed', into existence - and some other fella who ~knew of it and didn't tell me~
asciilifeform: they are exactly the same to me.
decimation: even if done by mistake?
asciilifeform: how am i to believe this?
asciilifeform: every devil, great and small, held up by his hindlegs over the fire will say exactly same thing: 'mistake'
decimation: true.
decimation: then again, who are the innocents using openssl to secure themselves?
asciilifeform: at any rate, the offenders for this last item are known, habitual, and loudly unrepentant.
asciilifeform: what next, we are to care about the 'innocents' 'securing themselves' with winblows?
asciilifeform: the hell they rot in is a strictly voluntary place
decimation: well, then why not congratulate, rather than roast, said devil?
asciilifeform: decimation: notice that 'winblows' now includes much of the unixlike world, in practice.
asciilifeform: what i'd like to see happen is for all the poor schmucks who report, e.g., a 'xen' 0day, to 'cert' et al, to understand that they are ~weaponsmithing for usg for free~
asciilifeform: at the very least, ought to charge
asciilifeform: if 'selling the rope with which to be hanged'

asciilifeform: decimation: the process of crafting, concealing, and then digging up '0days' is extremely labour-intensive
asciilifeform: which also means that there is that much more to be embezzled via meta-armies of imaginary labourers
asciilifeform: just like an f-35 engine compressor made from monocrystalline shitanium with unobtainium alloy blades is far more lucrative than an ordinary steel one
asciilifeform: (because higher price tag + vapour delivery is far more lucrative than low + same vapour)
decimation: asciilifeform: this is why the ru military were able to make fighters that match nato's for orders of magnitude less cash
decimation: they only had to build planes, not employ zombies
decimation: or at least fewer, cheaper zombies
decimation: the supreme irony being that the story is that 'nato won' because of capitalist efficency

mircea_popescu: <mats> you'll not enjoy reading the key server code then << im kinda curious how this thing will go down :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is not practical to keep tb sized backups on webservers. make a local copy, put on torrents.

ben_vulpes: but very good tool for persistent terminals on remote hosts.
decimation: interesting
decimation: yeah I get what you mean about more than one emacs
ben_vulpes: good with high latency, network-hopping, all of the travails of diginomad life.
decimation: want to cut/paste arbitrary things in emacs
ben_vulpes: i ran both znc and weechat as bouncers for a while
ben_vulpes: shit was wack.
decimation: heh yeah I looked at the znc config as said 'fuck this shit'
ben_vulpes: oh you rejected it before you figured out that editing the config files while the thing waas running would fly it straight into the wall at 0.8 mach?
decimation: I just didn't trust it by the smell
ben_vulpes: i'm saying that my nose ain't that good yet

ben_vulpes: "trivial", i'm sure
ben_vulpes: (emacs-gd, that is)
ben_vulpes: elisp!
ben_vulpes: it's lisp, right?
ben_vulpes: RIGHT
decimation: heh. I'm not much of a lisp guy, but the ones I know aren't a fan of emacs lisp
ben_vulpes: <cazalla> the irish have been flooding aussie shores for the past few years << met another ozzie this wknd
ben_vulpes: still not a fan.
ben_vulpes: caz passes, no idea why.
ben_vulpes: decimation: it's p barbaric
ben_vulpes: "poor man's lisp machine"
ben_vulpes: look i'm just trying to make a mil or 5 over here
decimation: yeah, I've seen the screenshots for 'zmacs'
ben_vulpes: no time for reimplementing elisp or...emacs even.
decimation: one day I will fire up that symbolics emulator
ben_vulpes: although a barebones lisp editor is tempting.

decimation: it's taken like 8 hours to go 10k blocks
ben_vulpes: whose seed?
decimation: some random one on mircea's list
ben_vulpes: so you're not sure if node code, machine host or seed.
ben_vulpes: try herr popescus node or perhaps herr form's
decimation: yeah that's a good idea
ben_vulpes: testing this thing is a goddamn nightmare.
decimation: yes, you basically have to devote a fulll machine to it
cazalla: ben_vulpes, so you base an entire nation on the few you've met.. gee get a load of this racist

ben_vulpes: hey i'm an empiricist what do you want
ben_vulpes: well for as long as nobody here uses shithouse.tv nothing here can be considered actual shitposting.

ben_vulpes: Story has it that he returned to Hazelton, once, after a trip up the Telegraph Trail, and there he found out that he had missed the farthest cabin of all, over two hundred miles away, and there were two men up there left without supplies for the winter. Either the Government had not made the tale of the cabins clear or C. B. himself had miscalculated. However that may have been, the plain fact remained that these two men had to be
ben_vulpes: supplied -- and it was getting late in the autumn.
ben_vulpes: So C. B. at once set off north again witha pack-train of sixty-eight horses. He had no very great hope of being able to make his destination before the hard weather came on, but he traveled with all the speed possible, to get over the worst places on the trail before ths first snow fell. But as ill-luck would have it, it began to snow one night just as he came to the rock ledges where the going was bad at the best of times. It snowed
ben_vulpes: all next day and the following night without any let-up.
ben_vulpes: Every now and then a horse would miss its footing and go over, sometimes into the rushing river below, to be lost forever. Then it froze, and the going was hopeless. One by one the horses slipped and went down until it was impossible to go onward. C. B. shrugged his shoulders and altered his plans.
ben_vulpes: <photo>
ben_vulpes: Those supplies had to be delivered to the men patiently waiting for them at the far end of the trail, So he cached the supplies, hoiseted as many carcases of the dead horses as possible into trees where the wolves could not get them, and went all the way back to Hazelton to get dog-teams.

But on the return trip, the going was heavy and slow and he found that the worlves had reached the cache of horse-meat and finished it up, so the dogs were short of food and though he killed one after
ben_vulpes: another to feed the rest, they weakend and died on the trail.
ben_vulpes: So it was that C. B. returned to Hazelton afoot, limping into the hotel one snowy night in midwinter, "broke to the wide", but otherwise unconcerned.

ben_vulpes: i actually think setting version to $maxint is a pretty great idea.
mircea_popescu: it really makes very little difference
ben_vulpes: why advertise version instead of just responding to network messages?
mircea_popescu: if you mined and set the block version to maxint it might.

ascii_field: trinque: realize that this can be manipulated by the enemy
ascii_field: to be whatever the fuck he wants
ascii_field: just by sybiling your node
trinque: sure
trinque: I don't see a way of getting the time that *doesn't* suffer from that
ascii_field: there ~is~ the way of having a working clock
trinque: aside from having been set by me, using my cesium clock, then running on battery with an RTC thereafter
ascii_field: but we don't have one.
trinque: yeah
ascii_field: even a $1 rtc chip, the kind found on old pc mobos, would suffice
ascii_field: but we don't have even this.
trinque: ascii_field: does not seem there's any sense in continuing on trying to do something distributed without an rtc
ascii_field: trinque: realize that without pogo, you're paying literally 10+ TIMES more per node.
ascii_field: the only solution i can presently think of is a variant of ntp over gossipd.
ascii_field: that, or external physical rtc.

trinque: hence gossipd
trinque: incidentally I have found tinc to be rather fucking nice for p2p networking
jurov: okay, but line must be drawn somewhere
jurov: i can't imagine what would have to be done if you expect your own pipe to be utterly hostile
trinque: I dunno any additional complexity is "cheaper" than the extra 25 bucks or w/e for the clock
ascii_field: jurov: realize that, at the moment, we do not have separate code for servicing peers you added manually vs ones dredged up from the seedlist

trinque: maybe without the rtc it's a leaky boat
trinque: but anyhow, could be retarded, sure

ascii_field: decimation: quickest way to make sure any kid can set your clock to whatever he wants
ascii_field: is to use un-rsasigned radio !
decimation: alright, apparently we need a #b-a radio clock transmitter too
jurov: and if we have rsa-signed time, usg will pwn or jam that too

ascii_field: decimation: the point is that these 'places' are central points of failure, and are even now controlled by the enemy
decimation: not really, nearly every non-orc (and some orc) governments and institutions have ntp
ascii_field: the point i've been trying to make is ~not~ 'let's all go eat our pistols' but that the entire fiction of political time is poisonous when applied to bitcoin
decimation: not sure about the signed part though, need to look into that
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yeh
ascii_field: decimation: there is no ability to authenticate what you get from ntp connection
trinque: ascii_field: yeah, I think that is the only possible way to avoid having a magic central something

trinque: say I though a block from last year at your node, I don't see why it would matter that your clock is set to tomorrow
ascii_field: i would like this to ~not~ be the case
mike_c: but if they muck with ntp they'll break themselves too

asciilifeform: incidentally, today i invented (hypothetical) very cheap 'clock': an sram with a beta source glued on top
asciilifeform: (from, say, a smoke detector)
asciilifeform: though one would probably prefer something with shorter halflife
mats: depending how large db gets i would expect io to get choked
trinque: mats: could write a view that generates your stats, then a materialized view which is refreshed at an interval with "refresh materialized view" or w/e it is
trinque: I like this approach because there's both an interface that is "fast" and also one that is accurate
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: it is seemingly surviving usgavination attempts.
mats: trinque, ok to pm?
trinque: sure
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: unless i seriously misunderstand, 50%+ of the hash rate belongs to folks ~who aren't even running bitcoin~ but a toystore version

decimation: being dumb as bricks is essentially correct...
decimation: 00:01:03 mircea_popescu: because yes, we're fucktarded enough to not notice what's proposed here is a closed f2pool - antpool loop. they're over there in their own
decimation: parallel universe.
decimation: 00:01:17 mircea_popescu: i dunno when it became fashionable to be infantile, but i'm getting pretty sick of it.

decimation: 00:06:24 mircea_popescu: "Note that the roughly 50% of the network that was SPV mining had explicitly indicated that they would enforce the BIP66 rules. By not doing so,
decimation: several large miners have lost over $50,000 dollars worth of mining income so far."
decimation: 00:06:36 mircea_popescu: leaving aside the inept spin they published, why the fuck are we pricing things in dollars.
BingoBoingo: Bouncer aimed in the wrond direction?
asciilifeform: probably pushed wrong pedal
decimation: alright, that's the end of my adventure with erc
trinque: lol, I stopped using it myself when I dumped an email to my father in another channel

decimation: I'm sure rms would blame my non gnu extension
trinque: probably chafing at the emacs|other boundary
decimation: yeah to be fair I'm running stator on this machine, and it only has 2gb ram
decimation: yeah and erc runs inferior process
decimation: anyway I abandoned irssi because I thought it couldn't handle unicode, but apparently it was my tmux
decimation: шара́жка
trinque: I haven't been able to see non-ascii since I put the weechat instance on obsd
trinque: hm could be tmux in my case too
assbot: Russia Grounds Entire Su-24 Fleet Of Fighter Jets After Deadly Crash Near Sea Of Japan ... ( http://bit.ly/1HJshBP )
decimation: yeah it turns out tmux is very picky about the terminal you are using when you create it
decimation: plus you need to manipulate unicode options maybe
trinque: yeah, it seemed pissed about my rxvt-unicode-256color when ssh'ing in
trinque: copied over the termcap, which sort of helped
trinque: hm I wonder if this tmux session actually predates copying the termcap
trinque: and in fact, yes; it works now.
trinque: шара́жка
trinque: whatever that means
trinque: !up Transisto2
trinque: huh... then when disconnecting and reconnecting with tmux, gone.
