deedbot: ben_vulpes rated pinochle 1 << sophisticated infiltrator
ben_vulpes: pinochle: i also have "rockchip" microservers for rent, 4 core, 1.4 GHz, reasonable amounts of storage should you desire to isolate your operations from peers in the wot http://pizarroisp.net/index.php/pizarro-hosting-rate-sheet/
ckang: ben_vulpes: have you done any test on the reliability of those USB3 drives?

mircea_popescu: who might you be ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-21#1804273 << nope. you're invited to buy the same drive and test. fwiw, and unlike cheaper ones, it has wear leveling.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 05:19 ckang: ben_vulpes: have you done any test on the reliability of those USB3 drives?
asciilifeform: and observe that the pizarro rockboxen are build without swapism.
ckang: ah thats what i was going to ask
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform never enables swap at all, period. it is an anachronism. )
ckang: i was considering using this and spinning a board at one point
ckang: but the fx3s is still pretty pricey in low volume
asciilifeform: ckang: idiocy; they will wear at same rate
asciilifeform: in raid1
asciilifeform: and fail at same moment
ckang: most servers are going to that setup though
ckang: new ones anyways
asciilifeform: because fauxraid and again idiot buyers
asciilifeform: and FUCK 'most are going'
asciilifeform: with red hot arse poker.
ckang: all our new dells do anyway
ckang: granted we still use usb drives...
asciilifeform: i will not be buying any fauxraids. or dells.
ckang: even with low writes, every usb seems to fail after a year of being plugged up and running
ckang: granted its mostly consumer grade stuff, samsung
ckang: sandisk
asciilifeform: ckang: i have nfi what you've been buying; over here i have boxen that've been running off usb drives for 4+ yrs
asciilifeform: just . don't. fucking. swap. to. them. and don't winblowz/crapple/whatever shituntus insist on constantly massaging the drive for no reason.
ckang: mostly use them for esxi host, not a big deal if it dies fortunately
asciilifeform: loads for me
asciilifeform: re drives : do recall that you get a phree yearly swap, ~if needed~ .
asciilifeform: ( if we pull the 'failed' drive, and all sectors write ok, you'll be getting that same drive again. )
asciilifeform: and backups are the customer's responsibility. always and without exception.
ckang: do you have the drive model by chance?
ckang: the ones I have are samsung usb3 dont advertise wear leveling
asciilifeform: MUF-128BB/AM
ckang: ty
asciilifeform: supposed to have it. i dun have the chipset datashit tho, cannot say for certain.
ckang: hmm actually i have a few of those in use now
asciilifeform: it's a reasonably common item

avgjoe: thanks, i'm registered on deedbot
lobbesbot: avgjoe: Sent 1 day, 21 hours, and 32 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> I don't talk to strangers in private
avgjoe: so i'd like to ask what happens if there are other "avgjoe" logged on irc and my client change a bit the username to log me in
avgjoe: is there a way to register the username on the channel?
asciilifeform: it's a fleanode chan, reg yer nick on fleanode
avgjoe: when i log in it says: Your host is hobana.freenode.net[81.18.73.123/6667],
asciilifeform: follow their recipe, reg the nick
avgjoe: ok, i just wanted to report my experience installing TRB. On debian stretch after installing all the dependencies listed on http://thebitcoin.foundation/trb-howto.html , i've modified on /etc/apt/sources.list the repo to the jessie one, then installed gcc and g++ 4.9, then reversed back to stretch
avgjoe: after installing the deps, i had to set export CPPFLAGS="-P" , otherwise it fails in the middle
avgjoe: then started the bitcoind with LC_ALL=C in front of the command and started syncing
avgjoe: so far is working properly on debian 9 just modifying the repo (because stretch repo hasn't gcc 4.x)
avgjoe: my question is: if i add nodes that aren't on the trusted nodes list, what are the risks?
BingoBoingo: <avgjoe> my question is: if i add nodes that aren't on the trusted nodes list, what are the risks? << Unknown, generally desirable to get more connections. The idea of the list is to provide a minimum number of non-evil nodes to help you stay in civilized communion.
avgjoe: but aren't new blocks fetched from evil implementations?
avgjoe: someone (not my server, but some other trb instance) is going to get from who these blocks?
BingoBoingo: Maybe? Maybe not? The question is do the blocks validate as good.
BingoBoingo: If the blocks are good, they are Bitcoin Blocks. If not, they are some sort of altcoin (but probably not capital A Altcoin) blocks
avgjoe: ok i understand, so i shouldn't worry if for instance i connect to a segwit node, my node will try to chop off the irrelevant parts of what it receive, correct?
avgjoe: so the trusted nodes list is more useful on the initial startup when there are a lot of blocks to download and it'd be easier to just have nodes that doesn't send unnecessary info (like segwit payload)?
BingoBoingo: Segwit nodes usually have been bricked to the point of not successfully connecting to the Bitcoin network
BingoBoingo: And Segwit can't in the form the Power Rangers settled on arbitrarily slice shit off of transactions or blocks. Segwit is an opt-in evil. It can only tickle your butthole if you let it in.
avgjoe: other curiosity i've not found on logs: what does it means bastard block on the debug.log?
BingoBoingo: The node is unaware of the block's parentage.
BingoBoingo: It may be a good block, it it will have to try getting accepted again once the node is aware of its daddy
BingoBoingo: This keeps bastards from unproductively filling up RAM

mircea_popescu: trinque, reviewed red dragon with girl yest, there's that scene when the nut confronts blake's drawing, derpy museum guide in the background "200 years old!". drew some laughs, fuck me, we held 800 yo manuscripts. europe is fulla them.

mircea_popescu: trinque, : "I guess the guy thought Mad Max wasn't fabulous enough." << this. this is where your divine nature shines through. it's fucking perfect, i've been gasping for air the past minute.
mircea_popescu: fabulous, right, because we weren't supposed to notice madmax is gay interest for the sort who "go viking".
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, hard to say no to hopkins etc.
trinque: lol yeah, serious gay vibes throughout.
mircea_popescu: good quality humour always includes a pinch to heaping spoonfuls of ~providing something in short supply~. the pantsuit tards translate this as "speak truth to power", but it's utter bullshit. the politics of humour are uninteresting from a humor-centered perspective ; but the economics of humor are not -- because economics was blessed by god originally with this and only this its attribute : you will forever be field-relevan
mircea_popescu: t to any field howsoever defined.
mircea_popescu: and have you noticed how little PATRONIZING of gays is available on the discoursive shelves of today ?
mircea_popescu: that's my own explanation for myself as to what has just happened to me, for the record. "the guy thought..." in context.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo, hard to say no to hopkins etc. << Sure, but the original film has a much better deviant
mircea_popescu: yeahj the red dragon script is terribad, all that woman-interest bs with 4tehchildrenz etc.
BingoBoingo: The Tom Noonan fellow more than makes up for Hopkins absence

mircea_popescu: well, let me know what he thinks if he ever does.
mircea_popescu: better film of woman as satan i do not know.
BingoBoingo: There's also a made for TV adaptation spanning three seasons which no one has time for in 2018 that turns the script into an overt love story between the FBI profiler and the Republican psychiatrist to fill time
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, heh. tv junklets you knopw\]
BingoBoingo: Show ends with Jack and Hannibal erotically slicing up the FYIAD fellow and cliff diving to presumed death or a cancelled fourth season of their love story
BingoBoingo: Turns out you CAN be too gay for NBC
mircea_popescu: or maybe just not fabulous enough.
BingoBoingo: Also possible. Maybe it was for spreading very 1980's stereotypes of homosexuals?

a111: Logged on 2018-04-21 16:00 avgjoe: my question is: if i add nodes that aren't on the trusted nodes list, what are the risks?
mircea_popescu: the point of trusted nodes isn't "don't link to other nodes or bad things weill happen". the point is "always have these in your connection to stay sane", because a major attack vector towards bitcoin is separation, ie get two sets of nodes adrift in different realities.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-21#1804343 << blocks are immutable by implementations ; this is both the source of the observation that "bitcoin corrupts absolutely", ie, it is superlative to anything the usg can come up with ; and the whole fucking point of the protocol in the first place. can trust evil people to do your shit, because bitcoin promises it will enforce upon them the dilemma "either be ENTIRELY impotent, or els

asciilifeform: plain dos vector.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, "gotta buy a new car"
asciilifeform sitting near usg.capitol, barking loon walks by , shouts at the top of his throat , '... i'ma tell the fucking! truth! about! what! they've done! my daddy was a commander! in ww2! with the goddamn cat! and the monkey! and reagan!'
phf: asciilifeform: couple of weeks ago a gentleman sat down at my table at a capitol hill cafe and after a rather brief and unremarkable small talk started asking me, why "you", which shortly turned to mean the cia, are following me.
phf: following him that is
phf: i started humoring him, "that's what we do", "the hunter must hunt" etc. but that might've been a mistake, because he got progressively more agitated, and i had to depart out of fear of him getting violent
mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if not a full half of the aspirational 14% is firmly convinced there's MORE THAN ONE man hour / hour spent by me/usg/god/aliens/whoever specifically on their case.

phf: i think it's a common caricature of late stage bureaucracy though, one bureau watching another, which in turn watches the third, etc.
mircea_popescu: yeah but it doesn't strike me at all like soviet groupshenanigans.
mircea_popescu: this is deeply personal idiocy.
