Framedragger: will check later! main guess is that there's no actuall ssh server running on port 22 (or rather, there was none at time of scan.) would be great to know the overall statistics, yes.
asciilifeform guesses that they belong to luser boxes, i.e. konsoomer routers, no ssh
mircea_popescu: this has been a random sampling of the ips leaked by people connecting today. Framedragger, any idea why only 1 in 4 is in your list ? evidently the ips are routable ; can you check if you talked to them and htey didn't respond, or just didn't talk to them ?

mircea_popescu: there must be some way to tell wget to not get files you already have.
walter_: I usually add delays to not overload the server, so it runs quite long
walter_: right. That's what I'm doing usually. The problem is updating for new articles. The "sync" takes thousands of HTTP requests
mircea_popescu: then burn it on a cd or such
mircea_popescu: well, run a wget, you have the whole list of articles conveniently given in archives.
walter_: what I'm thinking is how to efficiently replicate and update a copy of a website, to protect from e.g. somebody taking down the site, and banning archive.is in my country
mircea_popescu: no i mean, the suggesting.
walter_: that would allow to optimize syncing of local website copy with the origin
walter_: I'm afraid I cannot patch a PHP website. I can only suggest that it gains the ability to respond Last-Modified, perhaps at the cost of removing the dynamic section (should be fine as a separate page)
mircea_popescu: i dunno. in truth the maintenance of mp-wp is a bit in the air right now ; but if you want to make a patch by all means.
mircea_popescu: the problem would be that because of how the theme works with the recent comments thing all articles "change" whenever a new comment is added/
walter_: I'd say the proper way would be for articles to "change" when new comments are added, so the page would be re-downloaded
walter_: there's no way to tell
walter_: but this is so common in the internet to ignore Last-Modified that you could argue ;)
mircea_popescu: so is it buggy then ?
walter_: but it does, because the header is missing
walter_: oh, no. I'm using wget to save websites locally. It relies on Last-Modified to know if it should re-download the page.
mircea_popescu: yeah '; what i'm asking is, are you trying to get a signal when there's new comments ? because otherwise trilema articles do not change.
mircea_popescu: though trilema articles don't actually change. do you mean the root ? or the comments ?
walter_: I'm too stupid for the puzzle. What's wrong with archive.org?
walter_: "the Lethe flowed around the cave of Hypnos and through the Underworld, where all those who drank from it experienced complete forgetfulness"
walter_: the USA?

mircea_popescu: that's the whole comedy, and it's playing again and again and again and again. republic decides us elections ? usg claims putin did it!

Though on this subreddit I'm sure it goes without saying." https://archive.is/0E16N#selection-1687.1-1701.166

mircea_popescu: and i submit the "fappening" is a fine example of how the usg-ustards close coupling works in practice, because it is. so : usg got all sorts of idiots, including for instance dreamer asset sarah schneider, to take pics of their ass and put on usg.apple cloud. like so : https://rektcelebs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sarah-schneider-naked-2.jpg
mircea_popescu: but, be that as it may, overflows are actually republic/other fiats speciality. it's how the usg gets owned in general.
mircea_popescu: the above being the ENTIRETY of "usg cyberwarfare capacity" by the way. that it got idiots (schneier, koch, weimer etc), to write software that sets p as password everywhere independent of user input and then ten million imbecile lusers to use that "because it's what everyone does" where everyone is so defined to exclude everyone sane.

mircea_popescu: fail open, those derpy locks, did they.
mod6: I need to get the ball rolling for something like that with TRB as well.
mod6: as far as testing, it can not be understated how important the automated tests were for V to ensure that regressions did not happen. would be great to eventually have a framework build up for eulora so that functional and unit testing could be inplace the same way.
diana_coman: mod6, testing is still in the future of eulora mostly ; sadly; and I get what you say there: I wouldn't spend the time now to set the client up if it wasn't already there and ready to be left on its own for days at a time
mod6: diana_coman: well, i've got a box. my main focus has been getting these V changes put in. and pretty much think that's complete, but got a ton of testing in front of me.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it's not even "34 C". it's that the air is so moist, getting this to 24 is about 3x the joules it'd take you to get it to 24 in a sane climate.
diana_coman: mod6, fighting the planeshift jungle mainly; so Foxy gets to roam eulora mostly; did you ever get to set the client up ?
mod6: Batten down the hatches.
mod6: In the summer, does it cool off quite a bit at night though?
mod6: aha. the autumn in .ar is pretty plesant though.
mod6: *nod* it is fairly warm there. it certainly isn't like where I'm at. I mean, it's less extreme. Here it gets really hot and humid in the summer, and extra cold in the winter.
mod6: This one site says that there is amazing big game hunting in .ar: cougar, white-tail deer, "brocket" deer, and 'peccary'.
mod6: Yeah, no idea what they might have as far as game down in that region. Aside from like snakes. That's what I think of. Snakes.
mod6: I remember it being like a greasy chicken type thing. Even had some dark meat in there.
mircea_popescu: mod6 well if you mean north as in "past artic circle" then i mean south as in "past tropics"
