scoopbot: New post on Bingology - The Blog of Aaron 'BingoBoingo' Rogier: An Exploration In Multi Media Toilets
punkman: Uruguay does sound like nice place
punkman: bingoboingo: you can definitely milk an audience out of that toilet. lots of people interested in "english-speaking expat in far away land".
punkman: I recommend doing the "walking around city, talking to camera" thing
punkman: lets viewer enjoy the scenery, you get unexpected guests barging in, gives you things to talk about
punkman: there was guy in china I used to watch, would tour chinese countryside with buddy on bikes, talk to each other about random things
punkman: moved to US though, mostly doing commentary "podcast" now, so I've stopped following
punkman: "we are finding a persistent issue with getting (undergrad, new to research) students to understand that a file/directory structure exists, and how it works. "
cgra: asciilifeform: haven't tested this, but i suspect that an obey_sendbuffersize node (A), when catching up blocks, may end up banning peer (B) with >2x the sendbuffersize, if B advertises blocks with full capacity, in response to A's "getblocks"
cgra: a possibly interesting consequence is that it adds an extra issue to consider: the already-deployed obey_sendbuffersize nodes when mapping out the trb swamp of protocol ram usage
cgra: fwiw, judging by the amount of OOM holes in trb, and absence of other issues similar to the 'wedge', seems to me the wedge was just someone pulling blocks in maximum force, for whatever reason, unaware of the lethal side effects. all these added up, obey_sendbuffersize may have been better off not rating such peers for misbehavior
punkman: [p2p] Reduce addr blackholes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21528
punkman: might be of interest to trb fans
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-08-12#1052405 << these'd be even moar interesting if you linked to the lulsource, punkman

punkman: asciilifeform: rando professor on twitter, not that interesting
punkman: in other SFYL news https://twitter.com/TheDaoMaker/status/1425817681366712323
punkman: "Cipher Blade, a leading blockchain forensics expert company, has been contracted and is doing everything possible to track down the criminal and return the stolen funds. They have already identified an implicated Binance account and are closely collaborating with Etherscan to learn more about the hackers' whereabouts. "
cgra: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-08-12#1052413 << re 2) can't see why stop there, when first hole gets plugged. if really want nodes down and stay down. re 1) maybe some version appeared that routinely pulls too hard

asciilifeform: cgra: iirc that particular bug was described in a prb communique. so, possible that the 'wedger' simply did not know of others.
asciilifeform: cgra: the other possibly relevant detail is that it wasn't a quick-oom , but a wedge where node very slowly shits itself while unresponsive to commands, and at very little expense from trigger end.
asciilifeform: i.e. would stay down for day+, even if hanging off an autorestart script.
cgra: asciilifeform: those both points would then make sense to me, especially the former
cgra: if nothing else, a handy way to push prb upgrading :)
punkman: "TO CRYPTO NOOBS: IN THE DEFI WORLD, CODE IS LAW. THEN WHO IS THE ARBITRATOR? WE, THE HACKERS, ARE THE ARMED FORCES. IF YOU ARE GIVEN WEAPONS AND GUARDING BILLIONS FROM THE CROWD WHILE BEING _ANONYMOUS_, WILL YOU BE A TERRORIST OR THE BATMAN?"

punkman: so the tards offer 500k bounty, he turns it down
punkman: and sends all the ETH back
punkman: "NOW COMES THE LAST TOKEN, ETH! HOWEVER, I AM TERRIFIED FOR THE FIRST TIME! THEY ARE CALLING ME MR. 600 MILLION, BUT THE PRICE OF ETH IS GOING DOWN RECENTLY, WHAT IF MY BALANCE CAN NOT COVER THE DEBT? ETH TO THE MOON PLZ!"
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in misc. 'pandemic' lulz.
PeterL: from fishwrap: "Nearly 80 percent of Americans blame Biden for inflation surge: poll" (not even going to include a link) Because it makes sense to blame this guy instead of the previous guy or the "stimulus" money printing
punkman: asciilifeform: decent article
punkman: PeterL: as if the president tells the Fed how much to print, and not the other way around
punkman: https://twitter.com/JulianRoepcke/status/1425751441629716485 "The #Taliban not only seized appr. a hundred US humvees and (MaxxPro) MRAPs at Kunduz airport, but also several US ScanEagle drones.

dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-10 10:58:45 asciilifeform: punkman et al : is there any evidence against the hypothesis that such shitcoin 'heists' are perpetrated by the shitcoin author himself ?
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-10 16:53:08 asciilifeform: punkman: whole thing (incl. the '600 million $!!111 losses!111') is scheme to portray shitcoins as 'worth money'
verisimilitude: Why not be surprised?
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in wholly unrelated '19 lulz.
asciilifeform: ^ sensationalist, imho, title, but basic observation is troo -- if you actually found how to reach one of the given magic states, then you have fucked the algo (at least for arbitrary-length inputs, e.g. vtronics)
asciilifeform: discussion of this elsewhere on www : apparently 0.
verisimilitude: What a shame; the SHA-3 paper was a pleasant read, and I liked that the lack of a length made avoiding mistakes there easier.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: the moar interesting question that the linked author did not ask, is whether other hash schemes could be shown to lack a loop state
asciilifeform: (it is not clear to asciilifeform that they necessarily do not)
verisimilitude: The length being in the final block helps.
verisimilitude: It helps against some of the attacks mentioned.
