    awt[asciilifeform]: May need a mechanism to filter out dupe address casts.  Don't really want to store address cast messages in the long buffer though.
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: they filtred by dedup buffer no?
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: or i guess u mean ur storing all of them and most of them contain same ip/port
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: could do "peer x addr changed to y" in logs
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: jonsykkel: rereading the spec - says it stores all fully processed unique messages
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: So I guess yeah I should be storing address cast messages in the long buffer
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: ah long bufer = dedup bufer, ignore my mesages
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: Currently long buffer gets written to the db.  Maybe only save address cast messages that update the db?  I can't think of a reason why you'd want to save them long term at all.
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: s/db/at
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: a atacker could then change ur peers address in some cases by replaying adres cast that should of been deduped
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: guess coudl be argued that they can do this anyway by holding back a packet and releasing it later
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: jonsykkel: ah I see yes
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: (and of cours, atacker has no idea wat the packets contain)
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: Just seems not good to log automated messages
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: s/log/store
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: for bob, if alice is cold, bob is going to be periodically sending out ac messages to john, and john's going to have to store those messages.
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: i imagine that Tc constant in spec is set to somthing on the order of 60sec
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: so "Ta must be greater than or equal to Tc" -> max 60 casts per hour for each cold peer
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: and by constant i mean knob
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: jonsykkel: if alice is dead - ac broadcasts may continue for eternity
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: awt: indeed, but longbufer only stores last hour
    
    jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: so u will only have ur bufer capacity permanently reduced by ~60*dead_peers
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: True.  Need to fix blatta long buffer though :( currently just goes straight to db and stores forever.

    billymg[asciilifeform]: anyone here have any insight into what's going on with eu energy prices? on the surface it looks like they're in for an interesting winter
    
    awt[asciilifeform]: Kind of hard to believe it's as bad as they say.
    
    awt[asciilifeform] shrugs

    billymg[asciilifeform]: signpost: ah, i didn't hear that (that germany is thinking of crawling back to russia)
    
    billymg[asciilifeform]: signpost: re: why hard to believe, can't speak for awt but i felt that way also, mainly because of the constant media gaslighting for the last 3 years on nearly any and every topic
    
    
    
    signpost[asciilifeform]: if the question is whether people will do anything about lack of heat or power, no argument to the contrary here.
    
    billymg[asciilifeform]: signpost: that would mean them paying in rubles, right? or did russia budge on that at some point?
    
    signpost[asciilifeform]: I'm not aware that russia has budged on a thing, look like they're doing great atm.
    
    billymg[asciilifeform]: yeah, seems that way to me as well
    
    billymg[asciilifeform]: i like asking on pest because folks here have a way of giving [very clear answers][http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2022-08-22#1011254] that can't be found elsewhere

    awt[asciilifeform]: signpost: hard to believe *it will be* I think is more what I meant.  Disasters on the horizon for a long time tend not to be as bad as predicted.
    
    signpost[asciilifeform]: yeah, being cold or without power is not an apocalypse, I agree.
