(trilema) Mocky: i don't even know yet!
(trilema) Mocky: it was funny to fly over the rural areas of qatar and see so many traffic circles and ~25% have a branch that dead ends into desert. prepared for growth i guess
(trilema) Mocky: speaking of streets, street names appear totally optional, address can be a paragraph long description.
(trilema) Mocky: the building style is very different from what I've seen before, but ~all the signs include english subtitles for traffic and store fronts
(trilema) Mocky: diana_coman, no worries, prolly better to expose the issue sooner than later
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, nice and warm. encountered a traffic wtf. stop light in the middle of the city with literal 10 minute cycle time in one direction ~20 seconds. took 3 cycles for my taxi to get thru
(trilema) Mocky: existential issues?
(trilema) Mocky: thx lobbes. and thx asciilifeform, BingoBoingo, mod6, mircea_popescu
(trilema) Mocky: yeah, i get it. was just making spurious joke of my own
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, knew!
(trilema) Mocky: and one rating is imposter!
(trilema) Mocky: wot.deedbot.org page for Mocky shows diana_away's one rating
(trilema) Mocky: this is my fingerprint
(trilema) Mocky: that doesn't seem right
(trilema) Mocky: !!key diana_away
(trilema) Mocky: !!key Mocky
(trilema) Mocky: ugh, it's mid morning. i barely slept two hours each of last two nights. gonna be a long day
(trilema) Mocky: so many bicycles in london! roving packs of ~dozen queueing up at just about every crosswalk stop, at least where I was
(trilema) Mocky: I had planned to visit imperial war museum and british museum, but didn't make it to either. I did see wellington arch, hyde park, buckingham palace and assorted others
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859497 >> not 30, 14 originally which was cut by 6 hours by repairs and heathrow shenanigans.
(trilema) Mocky: took them ~2hrs to fix and had to power down plane which drained the battery from some other system which then had to be recharged before we could leave
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859485 >> we headed up the east coast from raleigh past dc, ny, and started over the atlantic at cape cod. shortly after cape cod we turned back to nyc. pilot said primary systems all functioning correctly but a backup system has a malfunction light on and they cant fly more than an hour from land like that.
(trilema) Mocky: reminds me of 29 palms california. I guess desert pretty much the same everywhere
(trilema) Mocky: I have arrived
(trilema) Mocky: oh thx phf
(trilema) Mocky: yeah mircea_popescu, your level of text output needs a boost...
(trilema) Mocky: right, ok
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, ty
(trilema) Mocky: cloudfront 504 on that link atm
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, ok thx
(trilema) Mocky: a lot of sites are blocked in qatar and i don't know if I'll need it but I'd like to run a web proxy on my pizarro shared hosting just in case. can someone make a recommendation? do I need something like tinyproxy or squid, or is there a way to do it without installing anything?
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-04#1858140 >> for context, 16bit ids in eulora today
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857690 ~every internet multiplayer video game and all voip signaling and voice content. both qualify as heavy along multiple dimensions
(trilema) Mocky: what's 'pf'?
(trilema) Mocky: original pub date
(trilema) Mocky: ok but if size matches still have to attempt decryption even if contains garbage?
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-02#1857302 >> still will be filtering incoming UDP by known IPs and preferred serpent keys though anyway, correct?
(trilema) Mocky: 1472 is what i've used in the past
(trilema) Mocky: well including udp header, like 1470 to 1480 of payload available
(trilema) Mocky: I'd expect frag and auto reassemble to work well in low volume conditions
(trilema) Mocky: nope, missed that
(trilema) Mocky: 16k packet -> 1500 MTU
(trilema) Mocky: e.g. attacker floods with packet frags prevents legitimate frags from ever being reassembled, instead silently dropped, server is none the wiser
(trilema) Mocky: ah ok, thx
(trilema) Mocky: *don't see*
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-02#1857260 I see anything like this in the logs, do you have a link?
(trilema) Mocky: frag reassembly in-program can use a buffer of specified size, just as is done externally. so excess chunk memory overhead is known up front
(trilema) Mocky: if you accept 16k new-acct packets seems just as easy to http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-02#1857229 but further, if you rely on external frag-reassm it's even easier for attacker to prevent you from accepting *any* new account packets
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, well even partial refresh on every key press isn't ideal with eink, which 'editing in place' could be greatly reduced, but perhaps crackpot idea
(trilema) Mocky: imo current eink refresh rate wants applications that have slightly different display semantics than what we have today which is based on 'full screen refresh has no cost'
(trilema) Mocky: yes but two types of redraw, one hard blanks out rect and then draws (amounts to 2 redraws), the other attempts update
(trilema) Mocky: plus full screen redraw not always necessary depending on how quickly 'artifact pixels' accumulate with local redraws
(trilema) Mocky: or who can balance but nagged into extra stability wheel
(trilema) Mocky: can-am's, trikes for old bikers who can't balance on two wheels anymore with bertha on the back
(trilema) Mocky: driving down the street in the middle of austin like he owned the place
(trilema) Mocky: made me think of 'British PM fucks pig on live TV' from black mirror
(trilema) Mocky: it does break the comparison. but I still don't see it
(trilema) Mocky: but i imagine few who go into brothel and get paid by the whores
(trilema) Mocky: it's been a hell of a lot of me paying them and scant them paying me
(trilema) Mocky: at&t. they gave me the phone and I pay monthly. interest free loan basically
(trilema) Mocky: re unlocking phone, hey if there was a reliable unlock procedure for my phone model I'd take it, but I've failed to find one. 'I don't really own it' is symmetrical with 'I haven't really paid for it'
(trilema) Mocky: and maps with turn by turn directions while on bike and can't handle a map...
(trilema) Mocky: computing on phone for me has a couple of big wins. one is my workout app with 5 years of weight lifting logs useful while in the gym ~every day. the other is weather app that shows rainfall prediction graph at your location by the minute for next hour. priceless info for biker
(trilema) Mocky: which i've never been to, only watched on tv
(trilema) Mocky: also superbike championship will be going on while I'm there https://www.circuitlosail.com/events/2018-world-superbike-championship/
(trilema) Mocky: https://imgur.com/a/legqmjr complete with van seats, build in tool box and walker onthe back
(trilema) Mocky: that reminds me of a 'bike' i saw in Austin last year
(trilema) Mocky: shipping bike is loosing proposition, duties make it -ev unless you have expensive bike
(trilema) Mocky: I saw there's a harley store in Montevideo. one in Doha as well
(trilema) Mocky: well only one week on turist visa, after that need resident permit or something. i may not have the full story
(trilema) Mocky: apparently not on a turist visa
(trilema) Mocky: which they are coming down of 105 degree summer to 90's autumn, so pretty good timing actually
(trilema) Mocky: course I cant drive in qa, but looking forward to a second summer
(trilema) Mocky: speaking of the sun, it's barely getting up to 80 degrees here anymore making short sleeved motorcycle rides iffy. If only there were some place warmer to go
(trilema) Mocky: good idea with the sunglasses btw
(trilema) Mocky: what, do they have scrambled ota now?
(trilema) Mocky: don't test me
(trilema) Mocky: by the time i'm down to nothing but a laptop, generator and waffle maker I'll rule the world
(trilema) Mocky: hey, is my secret weapon!
(trilema) Mocky: I guess I've recently gone through a few years worth of life compaction events, more shaking loose each time
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855891 >> I'm not sure what compact means in this context
(trilema) Mocky: anyway I decided to skip the hostel cuz 100% indian laborer gulag barracks, and went for air bnb room with door lock and kitchen/laundry access
(trilema) Mocky: I don't know, repellent has always been worse for me than any insects. I guess you could call me an insect bite non-responder. Prolly wouldn't use even if I didn't have hard shell luggage
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855980 >> trying to avoid the poison really, seems pretty light on pests
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, diana_coman: my phone's not paid off so can't unlock. maybe those hundies that could pay it off will find a better use in the short term, so that's why cheap second phone. and yeah, roaming turned off.
(trilema) Mocky: yeah, before I leave
(trilema) Mocky: I think I'm going to pick up a cheap unlocked phone as mine isn't unlocked
(trilema) Mocky: BingoBoingo, what did you do for cell service, new local sim for existing phone and ditch old number?
(trilema) Mocky: just need to breed strong pigeons that can carry 'return trip counterpart' plus payload
(trilema) Mocky: from appearances, qa version has similar "looks better to approvers if mega bucks will be invested" but also they are trying to 'silicon valley in Doha' so maybe some room at the 'bottom'
(trilema) Mocky: yeah, gotta find some people to talk to there
(trilema) Mocky: they seem keen on most new tech, and particularly comms tech
(trilema) Mocky: re: ice40 x250 and other projects: If I get a toe hold in Qatar, they have a 'free zone' to entice foreign R&D and tech startups which permits a new company to have 100% foreign owners, 0% tax on profits, duty free import/export. But requires them to like you and what you're trying to do.
(trilema) Mocky: Japanese robot seals ... wtf am i looking at right now, lol
(trilema) Mocky: it's not constant time without asm?
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, O(1) crapolade packet rejection is already available in software with your FFA lib, if RSA over non-frag UDP was built on top, no?
(trilema) Mocky: old log threads appear to have mircea_popescu with hatred of UDP, which has meanwhile dissipated ?
(trilema) Mocky: zackly. and when "doesn't" it magnifies packet loss %
(trilema) Mocky: I don't see the benefit of building in a reliance on an external UDP fragment reassembly mechanism when the algo is 'all or nothing'.
(trilema) Mocky: and this doesn't count pets / hirelings / mobile npc's
(trilema) Mocky: there are clever ways to reduce, somewhat. but no silver bullet
(trilema) Mocky: per second is 30k/s per player.
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-28#1855218 >> players in sight of each other, all getting position updates for all others is *THE* central scaling 'n squared problem' for mmo. 20 byte position sent 4 times per second to 100 players is 8k/s per player. and 4 updates per second is really not enough for good playability when you factor in the round trip lag. 15/s is less draconian (many games send 30-60). 100 players gathered with 15 updates
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, reports are that cost of living there is in same ballpark as US UK, with the exception that housing prices continue drop as gulf states embargo continues
(trilema) Mocky: the step one stuff is well documented, the steps 2 & 3 are not and my current info is gleaned from 5 diff reports by foreigners. situation on the gorund could be different
(trilema) Mocky: re inspection: i think they just want to see the place is real, has proper signage and has some necessary plackard posted on interior
(trilema) Mocky: no not yet!
(trilema) Mocky: BingoBoingo, i see a handful, mainly in sky scrapers, 9 to 5ish hours. havent' found pricing yet
(trilema) Mocky: step 2 seems paperwork heavy for both company and real estate leasers plus ~4 week wait on inspector
(trilema) Mocky: next step would be a Trade License which requires lease of physical location and inspction of same. third step of filing with immigration service requires both 1 and 2, and at that point only can hire employees and issue residence permits and sponsor foreigners
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, this first step of Commercial Registration gives trade name, ability to open corp bank acct, accept customer payments, purchase company assets. In addition to small fees there's an annual fee of ~400 to 2000 USD per declared business activity, each activity has its own fee. This process appears to be quick and easy.
(trilema) Mocky: yeah, may take a while
(trilema) Mocky: feeling any better from your car crash?
(trilema) Mocky: good morning mod6
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, forming an LLC in Qatar requires a bank deposit of 200k QR (55k USD) which can be withdrawn after the company is formed >> http://www.mec.gov.qa/en/services/commerce-corner/Pages/How-to-establishment-a-new-Commercial-record-and-new-.aspx
(trilema) Mocky: but yes I see the knock on effects are not the same as superficial effects
(trilema) Mocky: seems like no node operator benefits individually from a non-optimal link to miners.
(trilema) Mocky: I presumed as much
(trilema) Mocky: ahh, yes I've seen but didn't know who emits
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, is there a way to quantify "for a time"? Because requiring a 'tour of duty' dun necessarily seem like a bad thing. Is showing up with faster hash rate and getting full advantage on day one something to optimize for? (or day N, which is why I wonder how to quantify)
(trilema) Mocky: I'm looking at local conferences, local politics, tech and business groups / meetups. expect to chat up street market vendors on the regular if these are actually arabs and not indians
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, so local sponsor must hold >50% controlling interest in any new business. local chamber of commerce apparently on the look out for profitable opportunities with foreigners. I'm not sure where else to look specifically aside from generally making a lot of friends and getting introductions.
(trilema) Mocky: BingoBoingo, yeah but even if you could find one of the ~30k marriage age females (among 3.7M pop), and convince her to endure the social downgrade and forgo citizenship for any children, MUST then convince bride's father & suiter then converts to islam!
(trilema) Mocky: ha, "However, the new decree stipulates that if a permanent resident leaves Qatar for more than six months, the interior minister could withdraw from the residency"
(trilema) Mocky: seems like a play at keeping those who are already 'lifers', but unofficially so
(trilema) Mocky: also apparently lifting exit visa requirement
(trilema) Mocky: but only if lived there for 20 years and among 100 'blessed' applicants per year
(trilema) Mocky: in other news, Qatar becomes First Gulf State to Offer Expat Permanent Residency http://archive.is/8BXOX
(trilema) Mocky: I have nfi, never followed closely
(trilema) Mocky: "NOT always-shit" != "willing to go to the chair still"
(trilema) Mocky: i noticed blackmail conspiracy theory at that link, maybe consorted with 17.99 yo
(trilema) Mocky: 'Several users on 4chan’s technology board speculate that Theo is targeted first because he famously resisted an Intel backdoor.'
(trilema) Mocky: i have a bag to check, but not even sure at this point if it will be half full.
(trilema) Mocky: multiple trinitrons on the desk, multiple towers unstacked or stacked horizontally. sounds like asciilifeform has square footage to spare
(trilema) Mocky: i guess you don't need to stack them
(trilema) Mocky: oh nice, first time seeing anything like that
(trilema) Mocky: yeah, not that heavy really just awkward to move solo
(trilema) Mocky: and that hum, lol
(trilema) Mocky: don't get me wrong, i loved mine back in the day
(trilema) Mocky: great yeah if you hate desk space, lift weights and like hefty curvature
(trilema) Mocky: unless ur a hunchback i suppose
(trilema) Mocky: lappy screen is 4k. overkill honestly for a 15 inch
(trilema) Mocky: i haven't done trinitron in like 12 years.
(trilema) Mocky: yeah, laptop in a laptop bag. has been my primary workstation for some years now. except not packing the 43in monitor!
(trilema) Mocky: BingoBoingo, thx, I'm sure i'll have questions aplenty
(trilema) Mocky: among a few others
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, a brit book, but prolly less vintage: J.R. Smart '86
(trilema) Mocky: feels like a mad dash with only two weeks before lift off BingoBoingo. new luggage arrived today.
(trilema) Mocky: i wanted to try it. was dealing with a weight problem
(trilema) Mocky: indeed so.
(trilema) Mocky: usg dun care about ephedrine. i ordered from canadian pharmacy, contents printed on package
(trilema) Mocky: I've been out of the travel game for a while i guess. I didn't even know "TSA presents: imma rape ur luggage m'kay" locks were a thing. And now that's just about all I can find.
(trilema) Mocky: ahh, will take a look
(trilema) Mocky: oh man, i'm glad you're ok
(trilema) Mocky: quite so
(trilema) Mocky: yeah, fantastic tradeoffs for a pretty narrow set of uses. even a console application for example will be pretty much unreadable during a period of heavy text spew. which you obviously know
(trilema) Mocky: eink display is quite interesting. i've been a fan for some time, still using 2nd gen kindle to this day
(trilema) Mocky: ahh. me too!
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, why curious about that?
(trilema) Mocky: huge mass yes, but all the good picks still less likely to be taken, and more willing to dote over whatever can be found
(trilema) Mocky: if you're a woman who wants an arab man, qatar is the shit. step up on your pedestal and take your pick
(trilema) Mocky: reportedly uae & qatar have lowest percent of females on planet earth ~25% of pop
(trilema) Mocky: construction workers for their 2022 world cup stadii firmly in gulag, unpaid for year+, dying at a rate of 1 every 2 days, according to The Guardian ~2014
(trilema) Mocky: they make about >75% of population
(trilema) Mocky: seems like whole service industry is such a gulag for 1) indians 2) pakis 3) filipinos
(trilema) Mocky: or if bank says you owe a dime, can't leave. no time limit
(trilema) Mocky: yes, doesn't apply to visa on arrival which i'll be using. but if i want to stay past 60 days need some sort of business sponsor or hotel sponsor. and if use sponsor, their failure to file paperwork will prevent you from leaving
(trilema) Mocky: i'm a noob to international travel, but the whole exit visa thing seems super sketchy to me
(trilema) Mocky: 60 days to make something happen >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-01#1846611
(trilema) Mocky: tried to stretch it out in madrid long enough to look around but couldn't make it work
(trilema) Mocky: on the way back I'll have 3 hrs in madrid and 3 in miami
(trilema) Mocky: never been to London before, but from what i hear, can practice my arabic with half the population
(trilema) Mocky: it was that or pay fiddy buks more for 12 hrs layover in turkey. turkey wasn't gonna let me out of the airport tho
(trilema) Mocky: got my flight booked. will be on layover at heathrow for 15hrs on oct 8th
(trilema) Mocky: where's a niqab when you need one
(trilema) Mocky: *into* log search results
(trilema) Mocky: allah-spam in #eulora seemed mere annoyance until I noticed how it inserts pages of spam with log search results.
(trilema) Mocky: but i like on that page how even the sidebar headlines have tldr;
(trilema) Mocky: ^ such blatant display of power
(trilema) Mocky: I'm working on a laptop hooked up to a 4k tv, so every time the power cycles I end up sitting listening to the neighborhood AC units powering down until my tv comes back.
(trilema) Mocky: on the other side of town i know powers been out for hours
(trilema) Mocky: not all that much of a hurricane here but powers been out at least 2 dozen times for about a minute each.
(trilema) Mocky: i don't think what would have ever occurred to me BingoBoingo
(trilema) Mocky: need to make some friends in the local halal markets
(trilema) Mocky: census data claims that the zipcode where I live has the highest concentration of arabs in the state, which if you do the math is ~700
(trilema) Mocky: seems like there are a lot of dialects from gulf to african
(trilema) Mocky: i already like that there's no capitalization. i need to find a native speaker
(trilema) Mocky: slow start, but i think i'm going to like arabic
(trilema) Mocky: I've witnessed in my grown children to my horror and despair
(trilema) Mocky: was shooting for half a dozen trades, but got an introduction to local trader via meat wot and I mentioned the total I'm selling
(trilema) Mocky: turns out, in NC you can make btc traders eyes pop out of their head by uttering the words 'two bitcoin'
(trilema) Mocky: great, uncovering the depth of local bitcoin market
(trilema) Mocky: Hey mod6, how goes?
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, sounds like less promise of something else
(trilema) Mocky: tell a boy he's being sent to school, maybe he dun wanna go but no horror. hell him ballet school, (or fashion school or cheerleader camp *something else*) then yes, horror
(trilema) Mocky: if it was ballet school, then yeah something else.
(trilema) Mocky: seems to me both male and female cling to the continuity, but female has greater capacity to reframe the past to fit a completely different continuity narrative.
(trilema) Mocky: ok, word is: no family in the region
(trilema) Mocky: I cpu mined bitcoin when it was under 10. I made hundreds of dollars
(trilema) Mocky: or maybe to get in?
(trilema) Mocky: don't forget to hit that turbo button tho
(trilema) Mocky: i don't have any complains, vague or otherwise. just stated what i saw. worked out for me in the end
(trilema) Mocky: deedbot was answering my !!help but not !!up, eventually came thru 5 minutes later with multiple responses
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, it's not new just sitting unused. I'll use blog, yes. If I find a use for the alternate, will be ready to go
(trilema) Mocky: I'm getting "#pizarro :Cannot send to nick/channel" so will just drop this here: I created a dir named 'wwwhabeeb' in my shared hosting account. can you set me up to have domain mockyhabeeb.com be fed from that?
(trilema) Mocky: every time my little brother got really annoying!
(trilema) Mocky: my grandma would always tell me my name means kindhearted friend/brother...
(trilema) Mocky: thx, this is quite exciting
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, ok!
(trilema) Mocky says from a coffee shop
(trilema) Mocky: time warner cable sucks
(trilema) Mocky: diana_coman, no matter where you put "if Mocky will keep eating waffles" it gets inlined, since it always evaluates to true
(trilema) Mocky: I don't know of any but I will find out for sure
(trilema) Mocky: 2 months
(trilema) Mocky: 2-3 months sounds reasonable
(trilema) Mocky: oct 7 works
(trilema) Mocky: holy shit, an hour ago i was eating waffles and now i'm going to qatar
(trilema) Mocky: I think that i can pull together enough to get me thru January
(trilema) Mocky: what does that mean?
(trilema) Mocky: not happening
(trilema) Mocky: 5 benjies per week
(trilema) Mocky: on serious consideration, my only obstacle is that I don't have with what to make my ongoing alimony payments. I'm not going to break that promise
(trilema) Mocky: it is indeed a thing
(trilema) Mocky: na, that wasn't one of my reasons
(trilema) Mocky rates chances of her figuring out irc as low
(trilema) Mocky: on a side note, evidently my ex is a log reader now, got the question last month "are you in Uruguay?" now expecting to get question "you in qatar?"
