asciilifeform: achtung, readers : i took ( mp's ! ) advice , 'throw out the broken kitchen appliances', and cleaned my www links sidebar. if anyone is excluded & did not want to be ( or -- anyone included, who doesn't want ! ) plox to write in !

asciilifeform: in other olds, 'You’re still using algos from the 80s, half of them developed by the very people who didn’t want you to have strong crypto in the first place...'

shinohai: Neato asciilifeform && ty

shinohai: Sometimes mp gives good advice when you strip it of all the schadenfreude.

asciilifeform: !q uptime

snsabot: asciilifeform: time since my last reconnect : 0d 0h 31m

asciilifeform: loox like fleanode weather.

shinohai: ./uptime

btcinfobot: The bot has been up for 6d 7h 31min 15s.

asciilifeform: shinohai: does yours lottery b/w list of fleanode boxen ?

asciilifeform: ( mine -- does )

asciilifeform considered 'bake a fleanode peer' at one point, then thought 'do i want ~that~ in my cage?' and meh

shinohai: Nah I just put an ip in the server var, and send it. I have list of ip's on hand if weather situation gets untenable on one server.

asciilifeform: shinohai: and say that node croaks when yer at sea, then wat. sounds brittle.

asciilifeform: shinohai: typically i have a half-dozen fleanode ip's in the rotator, ending w/ their dns-carousel thing

shinohai: I prolly should update it to rotate, but I'm usually more irc-aware than most folks I guess. I generally always have a dumb terminal on my person.

asciilifeform: shinohai: when i wrote that logger, it was the ~only~ working logger. so aimed for max automation.

asciilifeform: ( tho, interestingly, reconnector was broken, and no one knew for month+ )

shinohai: Forgot to say asciilifeform ... congrats on last month's Qntra submissions. Good to see some new material.

asciilifeform: ty shinohai . i dun have as many of these as would like, because generally stick to 'is this covered nowhere else' formula.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Thank you indeed. /. once again passed on Qntra only to report the OpenBSD bug nearly an entire week later.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: brit 'register' had it after 2d. but afaik only qntra had it on the day of the burn.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm unhappy about the /. treatment as this is only the latest consecutive case of them receiving fresh news in their hopper only to take a pass on it, or have it rewritten by other derps sharing common ownership and then linking to the rewrite.
