ben_vulpes: chinese arm of this project is taking much longer, but at least i have at least one translatorwannabe in my pipeline
asciilifeform: at the risk of repeating earlier q - what exactly does hypothetical boobytrapped switch, do ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ^
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Generates and hammers magic packets
davout: "ring the doorbell and run away giggling"
BingoBoingo: Or munge frames
davout: you're going to have the same issues upstream anyway neh?
asciilifeform: to what end ?
BingoBoingo: To what end does pantsuit do what pantsuit does?
asciilifeform: as davout said. as if it could be other than immediately obvious , if shitflood originates inside the house
BingoBoingo: And despite being immediately obvious, does that not still annoy?
asciilifeform: what a laugh it’d be - yank the thing and put in another, exhibit the boobytrapped piece publicly
asciilifeform: if only every ddos were this simple to vanish away
BingoBoingo: AHA, and hence camp out reasonable walk from rack!
davout: BingoBoingo: i guess the point is that it's going to end up being extremely costly to preemptively weed out every single annoyance you can think of
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 19:08 asciilifeform: the implication also is that there is a particular kind of mistake, exemplified imho by the zeroasset corp thing in bbet, that is easy to make -- to insist that the energy be conserved at all times
asciilifeform: it is actually how usg does business , the anticipate-supposedly-all thing
asciilifeform: worx about as well as you might expect.
ben_vulpes: mind numbing waste of time and energy
BingoBoingo: Point is not "weed out all annoyances", point is make the one finite mitigation (own switch) which is less mitigation and more practice for scaling later.
asciilifeform: again -- which own
asciilifeform: i don't manufacture switches, BingoBoingo , and i have no intention of starting, it isn't a device that handles seekrits, and very literally either works or does not -- like mains cord.
asciilifeform: i'll mass produce switches some time after doing same for ordinary dc power supplies, they rank ahead in seekritude
BingoBoingo: Own in the sense I manage the settings on the appliance instead of trusting DC to not assign the task to their jolo. And at desired connection speeds switch handles the routing, unless you wanna go Cisco.
asciilifeform: what settings ?
BingoBoingo: What port gets what IP range
BingoBoingo: Maybe customer wants super anal static routing BBQ for their box?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this is generally set once. and out of band.
asciilifeform: ( box has serial port )
BingoBoingo: Options for that are either have a hardware on the rack that aggregates ISP links to the DC and handles this shit, OR beat a jolo into sense.
BingoBoingo: Urethra is generally an exit, but some people are into sounding
asciilifeform: ideally dc supplies mains current and physical space, net pipe consists of leased fiber from unrelated co.
asciilifeform: running straight from street into out iron.
asciilifeform: this is how it was in the olden days, in the boxes asciilifeform BOFH'd over long ago.
BingoBoingo: And today fiber runs to "meet me" room or other nonesuch, then to street or sewer ditch or wherever
BingoBoingo: Or meet me room is skipped
BingoBoingo: and to street as in old days
asciilifeform: !!up ssth1
deedbot: ssth1 voiced for 30 minutes.
BingoBoingo: But when exploring datacenter options, biggest obstacle is encountering Jolo the Pinoy in all nationalities. From "10 mbps to rack" to "Try this managed colo where we buy you boxes and do everything, it's just like getting 7Kva of dedicated servers but with more upsells"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i got one like that, it wanted 30bux/mo per amp (220v)
asciilifeform: i.e. space station electric price
mod6: <+BingoBoingo> <ben_vulpes> mhm; estimated as 42*.3kW << Of those 42U, 1 or 2 go to switch. Then you gotta keep a sane heat envelope lest some alf-weird cook everything and piss off the neighbors. 42U ends up turning into something like 20 servers apparently. << minus space for UPSs
asciilifeform: mod6: a civilized dc has massive central ups
asciilifeform: + gens outdoors
mod6: gens, sure. do you want to share power conditioning equip?
asciilifeform: nobody's about to fly out to swap little batteries.
mod6: would figure that would be something you would want in-cage.
asciilifeform: don't leak cpu to the mains.
mod6: switch-flippers
asciilifeform: not as if having power for extra 10min past dc losing it, does you any good
asciilifeform: ( and that's if you were to put in 2u of ups per every 1u of serverolade ! )
mod6: ok
asciilifeform: in even small corporate dc there are several ups that take up small room
asciilifeform: and outdoors -- diesels.
asciilifeform: now ! mains quality ~logger~, with independent power source -- imho deserves a 1u in any tmsr cabinet.
asciilifeform: front-facing camera, too, why not
asciilifeform: helps to keep the landlord honest.
mod6: and rear-facing, why not, right
asciilifeform: this is not unreasonable request, btw, and will filter out bozos
ben_vulpes: !!up Raven
deedbot: Raven voiced for 30 minutes.
ben_vulpes: lol yeah that name has good odds of already being in use
Guest29647: Uh huh..so...what shall I do now?
Guest29647: maybe check the instructions in the mail?
ben_vulpes: pick a different name? perhaps a phonetic version of your name?
ben_vulpes: mod6: kinda interesting that your `ent` chi-squared "randomly would exceed this value XX percent of the time" always comes out to something nice and round like 25.00 or 50.00
ben_vulpes: Guest29647: start by registering a nickname with nickserv
ben_vulpes: Guest29647: type /msg nickserv help for details on that
Guest29647: let me try that..
mod6: ben_vulpes: ah, i seem to remember reading about the X^2 percentiles in knuth. mine in particular came out pretty round ya. or do you mean "your" in the general sense?
ben_vulpes: no, yours in particular
Guest29647: REGISTER Zero
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski 's are also round
ben_vulpes: Guest29647: prepend with a slash, like /register zero
mod6: i'd have to look at other's results, can't recall off the top of my head.
ben_vulpes: but that one's also going to be taken, freenode is a very busy place
ben_vulpes: heck, try raven_zero
Guest29647: Test.
ben_vulpes: mod6: for contrast this first run just came out with 80.89%
ben_vulpes: Guest29647: once you register the nick, you gotta also set it as your nick like /nick raven_zero
Guest29647: test.
Guest29647: from my viewpoint, I'm stll Guest29647.
ben_vulpes: mine too; what did nickserv tell you when you typed exactly /nick raven_zero
BingoBoingo: Guest29647 maybe go with CorvusCorone
mod6: ben_vulpes: seems fine. iirc, and i don't have the book in hand at the moment, but knuth outside certain boundaries is suspect.
mod6: might be in the logs
mod6 digs
ben_vulpes: mod6: this is from "the art of computer programming" or... ?
mod6: yah, i'll go grab the book, standby.
ben_vulpes: !up raven_zero
mod6: "If V is less than the 1% entry or greater than the 99% entry, we reject the numbers as no sufficiently random. If V lies between the 1% and 5% entries or between the 95% and 99% entries, the numbers are ``suspect'';
mod6: if (by interpolation in the table) V lies between the 5% and 10% entries, or the 90% and 95% entries, the numbers might be ``almost suspect.''" -- Knuth, The Art of Computer Programming Vol. 2, Seminumerical Algorithms pp. 46,47
ben_vulpes: mod6: yeah i think i'll just have to read this myself
mod6: There's a bunch of in-depth information in this book, I highly suggest if examining these results.
ben_vulpes: leaning on intuition here; feels odd to me that the "randomly would exceed" value is so round on so many of your test runs, but it's gotta be weakness in my statistics intuition
ben_vulpes: statistics being the thing that hoses intuition every time.
mod6: yeah, not too sure. i've also never looked at the `ent` code.
ben_vulpes: raven_zero: figuring it out?

mod6: ima try using an ent on a different box against some of the runs that I did previously...

ben_vulpes: ah i see; i was thinking about little glass amp-rated tubes
ben_vulpes: or figuratively, "blew a gasket"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what is this, are you being an alien. the eyes in your own box don't see your mouth in your own box do they ?
asciilifeform: it'd be part of any design where asciilifeform fills a cabinet with own hands and locks the door.

mircea_popescu: "If you speak English and see the expression drum bun your mind conjures up a musical instrument for striking out rhythms combined with some kind of light bread style pastry and it makes NO SENSE." << bwahahaha
mircea_popescu: in similar lulz, the badea cirtan market in timisoara was officially known as "bad curtain".

asciilifeform: that's almost as good as 'bread of the sieve cable' <-> 'бред сивой кобылы'

mircea_popescu: so an exaggeration, but not that substantial. like saying "nobody in the us uses yahoo mail"
asciilifeform: and what does d00d have to do to get Officially banned from eu ?
mircea_popescu: be part of ru govt, afaik.
mircea_popescu: hey, the euros are retarded. they end up footing the bill for usg red pseudomilitary adventures in the middle east via hosting refugees (hey, when's the last time anyone sent 10 mn syrians to live in new fucking york, instead of germany, france etc ?) and for usg blue pseudodiplomatic misadventure in the shape of paying more for gas, selling less machinery and total real estate collapse because no more russki suckers to buy u

asciilifeform: nsa dun have a 'we need urgent gasenwagen!111' phone hotline afaik
asciilifeform pictures this
mircea_popescu: they "create" the "environment" for "Government digital communications". ie, like nsa issues trump a smarthphone, sms issued my mother an email or w/e.
mircea_popescu: but yes, back to it, by the time tmsr has its own isp it will have become more of an actual country than say romania. the eu member.

ben_vulpes: in tangential lulz, one of the "children rescused in fbi child trafficking sting", touted as an "18 month old, rescued from sex trafficking!" was in fact hooker's baby and is now a state ward
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes from experience i find the girls pick much better hookers than i do.

trinque: says your frou owns half of what you earn over the course of marriage
asciilifeform: only half?!
mircea_popescu: actually it says that a) marriage is a corporation in which b) each spouse owns 50% and c) unless specifically excepted prior, all income of either party is assigned to it.
mircea_popescu: this should be taught in "civil class" or w/e they call it in hs. but in any case -- don['t mary below your station, what.
asciilifeform: i knew a d00d who ended up in this typical meat grinder : he supplied 100% of the income, she -- 100% of the debt
asciilifeform: guess which number had moar zeros in front.
ben_vulpes still extracting ongoing dowry payments

mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that this is the 1900s, whereas peopel routinely travelled large distances in the cold and ate just five five centuries prior, and before that. because a) the cart of the time was intended as and functioned as a whole-family-mover, which is exactly how oregon trail happened ; and because the grain->bread and corn->mamaliga cycle permit something to the tune of 2mn calories per ton, ie enough to feed a family o

asciilifeform: and on both sides many moar horses than truck
asciilifeform: and everybody ate, and it is not mega-mystery what they ate and how...

mircea_popescu: basically, every time he doesn't use his own gut feelings, he's tolerably in the vicinty of truth.
mircea_popescu: has the occasional* not original i mean.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the arguments he presents don't work -- travel is much more likely in a country devastated by war than in one stable. in the latter case people feed themselves by tending to their crops ; but if no crops, they feed themselves by... GOING TO THE MARKET.
mircea_popescu: and 1910 romanian market is NOT fucking walmart, but "that place where we have reason to suspect more other people will come".
diana_coman: that might be I guess; he certainly does write at least more than the 100 words thrown at the blank page half-randomly, certainly; not so sure if there is anything more than that

diana_coman: phf, quite; basically "white squiggles" from his point of view atm really; he noticed the letters, yes, because those he recognises as symbols but otherwise in any case, screws and cables way more interesting
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Do you routinely take hime to the good playgorund (i.e. the hardware store)?
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, not yet hardware store as such, no; he does get to see though anything that is going on (computers being operated on included), he does get to help with anything that he is able to atm and he does get to assemble his own stuff (the most recent of which is a fully functional water pump model thing that kept him busy for days as per http://www.dianacoman.com/blog/2017/10/08/lictis-plictis-ori-boala-copilariei/ (poor

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: fans do jack w/out heatspreader
BingoBoingo: Plenty of places to get little aluminum heatsinks
asciilifeform: no mounting holes
asciilifeform: it has to be pressed by whole board bolted to sumthing, on that one.
BingoBoingo: conductive epoxy
asciilifeform: potentially.
BingoBoingo: One cannot simply assume a world in 2017 without jbweld, much as one cannot assume a world in 1800 without procelain tile
asciilifeform: heavy heatsink held with conductive epoxy is in asciilifeform's experience more often than not a recipe for ripping the chip from the board, balls, tracks, and all
asciilifeform: you gotta mechanically decouple the thing from the board somehow
asciilifeform: ( ever wonder why even cheapest shit cpu for pc never used heatsink held with epoxy ? )
asciilifeform: certainly not since cyrix 486 at any rate
BingoBoingo: Why not light heatsink to case? Not like it's a fucking opteron
asciilifeform: lol it's a small opteron
BingoBoingo: Of dubious up to date node running ability
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo use hot&spicy fucklube.
asciilifeform: it's approx same as 'zoolag'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's same generation as my mainbox E350 but slower. E350 vulnerable to high block processing times even with 31337 SSD attached
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and so was dulap, a recent intel with 256G ram and 32core
asciilifeform: it's ~entirely i/o-bound

BingoBoingo: Except for those mega signature stuffed blocks
asciilifeform: still i/o-bound

mircea_popescu: and here's a bit of an evolutionary biology mindbomb : since the ability to distinguish one's own sons from other's sons is positively selected in males, it is altogether probable males have developed the ability to recognize their own spawn as such.
mircea_popescu: soo... does the new baby LOOK TO YOU like it's yours ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai you around ?
shinohai: mircea_popescu: present
shinohai: "What, 1435mm is all you got son?"
shinohai: In other "Nobody could have predicted" http://archive.is/wTi4C
mircea_popescu: "here's a list of a half dozen tards who paid some scammers way too much money to be named in an inept piece in random fiat fake news outlet"
mircea_popescu: "*A substantial profit. Our ageing editor needed the phrase translating." outsourced writing, too.
shinohai: The Dogecoin consideration was pretty lulzy though.
BingoBoingo: In other lols, there is a place in Brazil that has datacenters and it is lulzily enough named Uberlandia
shinohai searches for `Lyftlandia` ....
BingoBoingo: In other news Portuges feels more more Italian than Spanish on deeper digging
shinohai: Dem romance languages
BingoBoingo learns a lot reading ad copy
BingoBoingo: And power tool manuals
