lobbes: asciilifeform: yea, I think I'ma gonna register a new channel with fleanode (#lobbes). As such, no need for archive import (there wasn't much in the old one either save for testing of various things). I'll let you know once it is live
lobbes: still ain't a mp-endorsed castle either. I figure that time may come one day, but that time isn't now as far as I can tell.
trinque: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-25#1937851 << so here's an idea. suppose you could define a ttl on your voice tokens, i.e. "worx until block x". then folks could pile them up for travels.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-25 08:36:01 mircea_popescu: who else wants travel keys tehn ?
trinque: asciilifeform: yeah, I'll ask him about it.
asciilifeform: ty trinque !

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-25 20:02:13 asciilifeform: was thinking re how oughta do auto-syncs. one possible method, is for bot to take command via pm, e.g. !q sync 1000 http://logs.ossasepia.com ; would then walk last N (here, 1000) ln, and offer 'identical', 'diverges prior', or 'diverges at I', I is index, and offer alignment, operator (set in config who) can then confirm or reject
asciilifeform: trinque: actually i have a draft ready to review
asciilifeform: will post in coupla min
trinque: deedbot also has logs, just not surfaced. I'd be interested in reading.
trinque: (every line it ever saw is in db)
asciilifeform: trinque, diana_coman , et al : draft!!! of semi-auto sync mechanism. is only ~demo~, it cannot write to a db, only proposes changes.
asciilifeform: there is yet no eater for these outputs (tho will not be difficult to write, i suspect)

asciilifeform: absolutely NOT ready for battlefield, requires tests (using eyes and hands.)
asciilifeform: i considered to make it shit out edible sql dump; but then realized that i have nfi how to guarantee sanity re uniturdism in these.
asciilifeform: instead picked a reasonable format where 'DEL;chan;idx;' proposes the removal of a line; 'ADD;chan;...' (with ... as in traditional raw dumps currently) proposes an import ; and # signifies comment until newline.
asciilifeform: output seems to behave correctly in re uniturds but this again needs careful test.
asciilifeform: output also contains comments to show where begin blocks of proposed discards ; where -- imports (and from what peer, to what chan.)
asciilifeform: to stdio is written the progress of loads from peers (incl. how many lines of 'tail' obtained from each.)
asciilifeform: if two peers offer the same length of tail, the peer with the higher priority (indicated by order of mention in config) is chosen.
asciilifeform: no attempt is yet made to determine if two peers offer same tail (they will differ, guaranteed, in timestamps, but ought not elsewise. but this is not touched yet.)
asciilifeform: ( a 'tail', if this is not clear from thread, refers to a set of lines offered by a given peer for a given chan from a particular starting index, to the present time. )
asciilifeform: folx having a few spare min and a logotron staging box, are invited to experiment (oughta be safe even on a production box, this proggy does not write to db.)
asciilifeform: this is all that asciilifeform presently has to say on the subj.
asciilifeform: nitpicks, barfologies, welcome. i'ma bbl:meat.
lobbes: asciilifeform: neato, I will give it some testing this weekend
lobbes: about to switch over ericbot to new patch; about 30 seconds of downtime
lobbes: !e version
ericbot: I am bot version 597604.
lobbes: alrighty, http://logs.ericbenevides.com/ are current with the other two stan-loggers in terms of version
lobbes: asciilifeform, diana_coman I also have #lobbes registered with fleanode and live. Feel free to include in your loggers if you want. No archives to snarf really
trinque: ^ was not able to connect to uy1 until just now
trinque: outage of approx 2-3min
asciilifeform: piz pipe outage!!!
asciilifeform: outage apparently over, but, annoyingly, bvt's patched bot did NOT correctly detect the disconnect.
asciilifeform: i'ma have to reset it manually & sync, brb
asciilifeform: aaand there it goes again
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma ask that you put a flame to the necessary arse tomorrow
asciilifeform: ... still dead. longest one yet

asciilifeform: fleanode will reliably throw if 1+min of 0packet.
asciilifeform: come to think of it, the syncer oughta have a timeout , for when a peer is in connectivity limbo

diana_coman: meanwhile an initial look at irc networks suggests they might be ~all about as lively as a corpse really; but anyways, oftc, undernet, espernet and dalnet seem to have made it to the top to be contacted in the coming days.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939815 << how's this for a proposedly "better" algo : 1. syncer is given target T ; 2 sincer loads tip of T (as the whole day page, DP), compares to its own record ; 3. if comparison results in any difference, syncer produces list L in the format of #count, own line, T line and moves to 4. which consists of repeating algo for DP-1.
mp_en_viaje: then once this is done syncer spits out paste consisting of aggregate L in response to command given in 1, and accepts as response a succession of bits (0, 1) telling it which to take where.
mp_en_viaje: in this manner all-1 operator response will result in the behaviour you specced ; and anything else will result in finer control (at the obvious added cost of bothering to paste a buncha 1's in a paste).
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 15:55:27 asciilifeform: folx w/ mathematical inclinations, invited to comment re auto-sync algo described in #o .
mp_en_viaje: imo is better because at least creates ~a record~ of the type of problems we're solving which not only might spark refinements downstream, but will also constiute a phenomenologically blessed test set for any such refinements, permitting ~RATIONAL~ acception or rejection if/when it comes to.
mp_en_viaje: this is not usually given enough thought (in the sense of, any, for the scope of "free and open" shitsource) -- but the most important part of software development is the construction of the rational basis of merge decisions.
mp_en_viaje: the rms/ers/retardsonwheels brushing it under the rug, "oh, you'll know when you see it" is probably the chief idiocy ensuring their loud, miserable, pollutant-ladden failure.

mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, excellent news!
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939818 << i agree with this, make the index loglines if your whole thing is trying to order sets of lines by cardinal.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 16:06:23 diana_coman: asciilifeform: why use timestamps rather than log lines number though? I don't get how is that better at all; ie give syncer "last known ok line", should drop anything with id > that for the chan; then import everything with id > that from the reference
mp_en_viaje is not necessarily convinced that this is important or necessarily a goal ; but seens nothing wrong whatsoever with the attempt as such and has no objection to helping.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939824 << b specifically may be "the one girl with the one pubic hair with one crabs egg on it" sorta item, as it seems to carry the capacity to bring the whole system to criticality.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 16:08:48 asciilifeform: so, to complete the picture, this algo is guaranteed to work correctly if a) one of the peers actually contains the complete log segment for time T .. present b) no one speaks in the interval while it operates c) the timestamp T correctly represents the cutoff

snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 16:26:11 asciilifeform: atm the hand-operated sync only feels practical because there is very little traffic in most of the chans. if all 6 were burning hot 24/7 , could take many hrs of frustrated cranking to actually sync'em all.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 18:34:20 asciilifeform: sumthing clever ~will~ have to be done w/ the header , 7 might even fit right nao, but 8 defo won't..
mp_en_viaje: alternatively, charge a fee for listing, by adding a small "be here" link, leading to a page, explaining that everyone there is there by ahving paid, and if you pay more than the one who paid least you get the top spot for as long as that lasts.
mp_en_viaje: and list how much the current listed paid you, which'd be as it stands 0.
mp_en_viaje: (this multi-slot auction mechanism as described is actually a lot smarter than maybe realised at first sight, it does exactly what leftards claim capitalism can not do.)
mp_en_viaje: but then again there's a reason they came up with an euphemistic name for their idiocy in the first place. leftards claiming capitalism doesn't work is like oligophrens "preferring to be called" beautiful lip people, pretending speech doesn't work.
mp_en_viaje: one final thing : it's not clear to me exactly if img.inline { margin: 0.5em auto 1em auto; display: block; border: 1px solid black; width: 34em; } is how you opted to specify the header for the logger site. if so, it's dumb for the following reasons : 1. that it's not called anything like that, or even anything arbitrary, but something mechanically-ineptly der
mp_en_viaje: ived from something it very much is not making identification a lot more doubtful than they need to be, it's like nominalist sabotage ; 2. you specify a fixwidth, in FUCKING EMS. wtf, ems are for glyphs, it's like giving your height in delta-pascals.
mp_en_viaje: in any case, it's narrower than the actual log on my screen. imo the "<meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width" you start with is correct ; but if you're not willing for some reason to apply the implicit scaling throughout, at least pick an arbitrary pixel size (1024, 1280, whatever viewports most commonly are in your view) and use that.
mp_en_viaje: http://archive.is/YbYXd << also narrower here.
mp_en_viaje: since we're doing visuals, imho the time delay should be on the tooltip not on the actual page. that way you can have two lines even. but if you want to keep the time on display, imo the chan-time tuple should came in ~individual~ single line wrappings.
mp_en_viaje: as it is the 6m from eulora bleeds into spyked/7h block
mp_en_viaje: and yet another final thing : having fixwidth block display elements affords you a very good solution to the exact problem you're dealing with : how to put N elements in space for Q elements. what you do is, declare the fixwidth block element with the display widh you wand and with content of the N element ~sorted somehow~. then on display block element will only show the first Q, leaving the rest offscreen ~but still on the
mp_en_viaje: page, ie, available to mechanical reader~.
mp_en_viaje: then if later the sorting mechanism sorts them otherwise, meatviewer will show a diff Q-selection, while all the while mechanical viewer sees the same N

mp_en_viaje: omfg act to reduce unknowns. RATIONAL BEHAVIOUR it is called. the fucking reason you, as a serious engineer, try things ~one at a time~ rather than in random configurations is that you're trying to reduce unknowns. not to nurse old unknowns into survival and perhaps even invent new ones ?!
mp_en_viaje: if you don't know whether your lamp is broken because the power plug's dead, the cable inside is fucked, or the lightbulb dead, you don't first built a spaceship out of that lamp and "see then". you replace the lightbulb first, see if it fixes it. then from there, ONE THING AT A TIME.

mp_en_viaje: after which she agrees, if sluts want drinks they gotta get them from her (being as she's the waitress, makes sense) but she ominously warns us that... well... she has a virus.

mp_en_viaje: in other top keks, my multi-ip exit bridge here is breaking everything, had to reload http://thimbron.com/2019/10/wip-irc-takeover-initial-findings/#comment-21 like a dozen times before coincidentally ip stasyed same long enough to move past the "stale page" thing
mp_en_viaje: but, on the upside, all my outbound's spread over a spectrum for keks an' giggles.
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940024 - this is like kindergarten-lesson, found myself repeating "ask!!!" in #o too, no idea why/what is so hard about it.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-04 05:03:23 mp_en_viaje: so if you don't know, ask ; i'll either give you the thing or else tell you why not, at which point ~you'll fucking know why not~. see ?
diana_coman goes back to futzing-particles in eulora
mp_en_viaje: i dunno, the one thing about boy engineers is that what they actually want of this world is some way they can futz on these here knobs until the girl over-there takes her panties off.
mp_en_viaje: telepizdesis.
diana_coman: and then teledickensis too ?
mp_en_viaje: meeeeebbe
spyked: mp_en_viaje, ooo, thing sending trackbacks already?
spyked: not sending internal trackbacks tho, prolly because still using old link schema. anyway, lotsa work left still, meanwhile articles will continue pouring there for a while.
mp_en_viaje: your title's swimming amongs left/right links
spyked: yeah and there's other problems with the theme. it's all on the list, incl. proper selection
spyked: also, while doing this importing work I've gathered a (still ongoing) list of broken links that might make for a lulzy blogpost
mp_en_viaje: ima go out for lunch. laters all!
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939920 <-- moreover, for some reason it seems that passive (i.e. listening) tcp socket much easier to keep open than active one; it's often happened to me to get to irc console in the morning and notice "ping timeout" from server for ??? reason.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 22:28:19 asciilifeform: i find it mighty 'coincidence'(tm) that for year+ we get 24/7 pipe, and then put a logger and nao dulap-I treatment.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940025 <-- indeed, feedbot and spykedbot already use this method. not sure if token even necessarily required forever, in practice will reconnect about once/month

lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940024 << yeah I see your point. I get in the habit of assuming instead of asking. /me goes to learn some latin and prepare for a proper ask

asciilifeform: snsabot restarted by hand. log synced by hand via lobbes ( diana_coman yours appears to be down ! bot & reader both )
asciilifeform: and loox like it'll need a disconnect detector (e.g. '5min w/out incoming pings or lines' would still be 9000x better than the current 'unplugged for hours and still thinks connected' )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i got this from your logotron
asciilifeform ate the log, will process after tea
asciilifeform: really oughta have even moar logotrons, we were down to 1 working unit today
asciilifeform: i'ma put the sync thing on backburner, will instead write a proper disconnection detector, cuz this is ridiculous
diana_coman: asciilifeform: ossabot fell down for a bit too and machine was reset so I need to find out from isp wtf; grrr.
diana_coman: all 3 loggers seem synced atm; ossabot is back too, though still waiting to find out wtf happened exactly.
asciilifeform: piz pipe down !!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: With the more intense monitoring two of the rockchips were hit with incoming connection floods.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: pretty interesting. canhaz detail ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Putting a GPG gram together
asciilifeform: seems like diana_coman's box in europistan may've been included in the festivities also
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: lobbes Rockchip was hit, later my rockchip was hit
diana_coman: shucks, 1 min please to sync the shit
BingoBoingo: Looking at the connection messages on chan lobbes seems to be using a cloak, but dianacoman's bot appears to not be
diana_coman: got dammnit
diana_coman: should be synced now, thank you
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: yes, my bot is not cloaked; dunno if that would make much of a diff tbh
BingoBoingo: I suspect someone may be crapflooding IPs displayed in join/part messages on one of the channels. This can be a problem because cloak discipline appears to have gone soft.
diana_coman: I'm still waiting on the isp to tell me wtf went on
asciilifeform: i dun think cloaks have anyffin to do with it
asciilifeform: it aint as if the ips are any kinda seekrit, in all cases
diana_coman: that's why I didn't really bother re cloak because the ip is public anyway
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ftr pipe still stone dead
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not particularly dead as my bouncer's connected
diana_coman: asciilifeform: there was a bit earlier some weird stuff, couldn't connect to smg servers + eulora client fell down for lack of response from server
diana_coman: after a while it got back though, currently responding
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: aaand my shells finally fell.
diana_coman: there seems to be some overall bad-internet-weather as far as I can see
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Apparently the full block down due to flooding
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: longest dulap outage since plugged in, as of nao.
asciilifeform: and continuing.
asciilifeform: so BingoBoingo what exactly are we paying these people for ? 'isp but if not too many packets' ?!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Someone appears to be hopping around and hitting addresses. DDoS is an unsolved problem.
asciilifeform: atm that meter's fucking running but the taxi aint movin'!!
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> that's why I didn't really bother re cloak because the ip is public anyway << Even the most trivial barrier does something, like prevent lurkbots from harvesting addresses as they connect.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i doubt any of this has anyffin to do with cheapo lurkbots or any similar
feedbot: http://thetarpit.org/posts/y06/0a5-work-plan-vi.html << The Tar Pit -- Work plan for M10 2019
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I don't see a simpler narrative for why diana_coman's bot went down too.
diana_coman: fwiw, it may well be, sure.
diana_coman: ddos attack seems to be.
asciilifeform: piz pipe still dead.
asciilifeform: ( and seems like ddos is only half the problem , the other half is pipe vendor's immunocascade ? )
diana_coman: moldavians seem to be doing fine so far ie attack still on from what they say but not making it through.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: through what are you connected ? whole piz house seems to be unplugged
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I am presently connected through not a bouncer
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what's the plan on latech co's side ? we pay'em and they give us a pretend-pipe ?
asciilifeform: and in turn, piz subscribers are also paying for pretend-boxen ?!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: "The attacks are moving on the range. It started with .97, then move to .99, then to .200 and so on." This supports lazy attack targeting uncloaked irc connections.
BingoBoingo: The omissions strongly suggest uncloaked IRC connections drew the aggro
asciilifeform: i suppose this could explain what these are for
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 14:08:12 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-02#1939628 << seems to lurk in #a too. perhaps the current enemy spy, i have nfi
BingoBoingo: The cloak is not perfect protection, but it does frustrate the lazy sort of attack we appear to have been struck by
BingoBoingo: I suspect what happened is a long stretch of relatively calm weather got a lot of people complacent on the matter of IRC cloaks.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i still dun see the matter of 'from where' as settled -- it aint as if the addrs of tmsr www boxen are anyffin but public
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: are you saying that "have a cloak -> no problem" or what exactly?
BingoBoingo: I am saying have cloak, ever so slightly more protected in theory yet substantially more protected in practice
diana_coman: ok but the problem is still there, only ...better hidden, no/
asciilifeform: it does seem that the box where 'uncloaked' lobbesbot connects from , was on the nuke rotation, whereas e.g. asciilifeform's local pipe -- not
BingoBoingo: Well, now with cloaks attacker HAS to reveal that they are targeting
asciilifeform: this supports BingoBoingo's hypothesis of 'shrapnel addressed to occupant' (vs 'bullet w/ name on it')
asciilifeform: incidentally iirc fleanode only supports cloaks if user connects sslistically. which asciilifeform's bot does not.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It does appear the SSLism for cloaks is still optional, but a delay needs to be inserted between authentication and joining channels
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there is already such delay.
asciilifeform: and no, per the docs, not optional, i.e. the naked ip is broadcast ~unless~ you log in 'in one shot' via their ssliquishit.
ossabot: (pizarro) 2019-10-04 thimbronion: fwiw my bouncer (running on non-pizarro box) was disconnected yesterday, and a few days prior, and although I have a cloak, it does not get applied before bouncer rejoins channels.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at the risk of repeating, what's yer plan for getting the pipe back ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I trying to start by getting the portions of the range without known, uncloaked IRC bouncers opened up again. From there we continue trying to open things up.
asciilifeform: soo, open all but the actually used boxes , lol ??
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: We have to start from somewhere
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: asciilifeform eulora server unreachable; my blog idem.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: they're both in piz house neh
asciilifeform: whole thing is offline
asciilifeform: for hr+ nao
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i guess this is an illuminative experiment re the q of what it is we actually get for that ( pretty hefty, quite enuff to keep three bus-fuls of orcs in empanadas erry month ) pipe fee. turns out not 200Mb/s , but 'what we feel like aint too hard' ??
asciilifeform: what, i wonder, would a '200Mb/s or we-pay-you' cost.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: We have an asymmetrical pipe. The 200Mb/s is traffic going out of the rack
asciilifeform: even so, if incoming e.g. 50, that 50 oughta consist of a random sampling of the incoming. not 0.
BingoBoingo: It seems to depend on how big the incoming crapflood is and how far upstream they have to go to find a sufficiently wide pipe to cut off the crapflood.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: yes re piz house; I was just noting that those have nothing to do with cloaks and irc at any rate.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: well since latech appears to have in fact pulled our plug, it is no surprise that they're unreachable ~nao~
asciilifeform: what condition they were in prior to this event, i do not know
diana_coman: o.O they mitigated by unplugging the paying customer, I see.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: indeed they did, i thought it was clear from last hr of #t
diana_coman had to follow quite a few things at the same time during this last hr so didn't focus on pizarro specifically.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: seems to be that 'unplug customer' is the only way anybody mitigates ddos.
diana_coman: dunno, moldavians managed to mitigate it sanely without unplugging my logger
asciilifeform: diana_coman: moldavia has advantage of not being on monkey continent and not relying on single pipe to civilization, i suspect
asciilifeform: diana_coman: that being said, i also suspect that yer box is only standing because piz is taking 90% of the fire
diana_coman: asciilifeform: uhm, how does that reasoning go? they fire less at my box because one box or what? anyways, is there at least any concrete communication from piz's data centre re what they are doing otherwise exactly?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if latech is to be believed, it's a rotating ddos
diana_coman: asciilifeform: ok, but the point here is that moldavians managed to mitigate it while under fire.
diana_coman: not that "oh, so currently not under fire because they are firing at piz"
BingoBoingo headed to the rack
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plox to post the next despatch from latch in cleartext, i see no reason to whisper these
diana_coman: works in #pizarro, I'll go and read
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i expect that before this is through, we'll find out just what tonnage of liquishit the moldavian folx are able to digest
diana_coman: can't hurt either
asciilifeform: mp's www fwiw doesn't seem visibly affected. so prolly not included on the magick list.
asciilifeform: ( either that, or simply outlandish margin of spare pipe bought from last time when he ~was~ included )
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's www ( still parked on ancient heathen hoster atm ) also not visibly dinged.
asciilifeform: does give a little support to the hypothesis that original demasking signal was via irc.
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940177 << i oughta expand re this. ddos is cheap but not free, if the 1e6 or whatnot winblowz boxen were evenly split to piss into 20 diff addrs, would not amount to much effect. so traditionally rotates, e.g. 3min to 1, then to next, and so on, in circle.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-04 17:32:32 diana_coman: asciilifeform: uhm, how does that reasoning go? they fire less at my box because one box or what? anyways, is there at least any concrete communication from piz's data centre re what they are doing otherwise exactly?

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This terminal is on a radiomodem atm
mp_en_viaje: so did you folk get a banhammer smack or something ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: whole thing in log ( diana_coman's and lobbes's, naturally ), it's reasonably compact
mp_en_viaje: a ok, ima get to it then
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Got flooded, appears to have been one of the lurkers havesting uncloaked ips and shooting
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: summary : rotating ddos, not even limited to piz
mp_en_viaje: oh, that old thing
mp_en_viaje: amusingly, muh thing here unmolested apparently, i got complete scrollback even
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: seems like only folx regularly throwing ips in the log, affected.
mp_en_viaje: im not cloaked am i ?!
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: nope. but iirc you're on a phased array of euro pipes, not individually routable to from outside also eh
mp_en_viaje: um. gotta be routable or else how would interwebs werk
mp_en_viaje: what is this halfass cvasi-dos ffs, i thought we're talking srs bzns
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it's a small ddos, as they come, but compounded by the hamfistedness of piz upstream. BB is in the cage atm bazaring w/em
asciilifeform meanwhile wrote patch for bot to make it actually detect disconnects. is in staging box locally.
mp_en_viaje: aite, ima brb writing article then
asciilifeform: ACHTUNG, panzers! logotron tree updated w/ detect_disconnect.kv.vpatch . << lobbesbot , diana_coman
asciilifeform: tested (by setting absurdly small interval; throws, reconnects, as expected; then by setting 3min -- operates normally, pings typically come erry 45s or so)
asciilifeform: if deploying, make sure to see readme & example config re knob.
asciilifeform would deploy nao, if had a working box to deploy to...
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you had some a++ q's re syncism etc, but i'ma answer'em after piz not on fire .
mp_en_viaje: no roosh.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: thanks, I'll have a look; fwiw so far bvt's fix actually worked well for ossabot
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the old one worx a++ on 'organic' i.e. fleanode-initiated disconnects. but sadly not on pipe death
diana_coman: it did reconnect properly the times when it just lost connection; hm, the log I saw for when unreachable, it was trying to connect
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the new one simply demands that ~something~ come down the pipe erry disc_t seconds. recc'd value 180 .
asciilifeform: (at the very least, when live conn, will have pingism from fleanoad erry ~45s )
asciilifeform: and yes bvt's reconnector worx a++.
asciilifeform: tested just nao w/ this item.
asciilifeform: i noticed last night that on none of the piz outages did the thing actually realize it's dead. hence this patch.
asciilifeform: 'To disable forced disconnects, set disc_t to zero' is wrong btw. will give actual off switch on next patch.
asciilifeform has internal policy of not regrinding a patch for mistakes in comments; folx oughta read the actual proggy before connecting to live missiles
asciilifeform: ftr i did not put this in genesis because naively supposed that ordinary workings of tcp will in fact throw a connection if the pipe were to unplug. but apparently this aint so
mp_en_viaje: oh, your logger's down huh.
asciilifeform: along with errything else in that cage.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939920 << i don't get it, what is the coincidence ?

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: timestamps (both current & historic) are all over the place. cuz clocks are shite.
asciilifeform: ( and to add insult to injury, when importing logs externally, the peer's times are eaten )
asciilifeform: given how pc clock worx, and the existence of multiple loggers, timestamps in log are somewhere between 'mildly informative' and 'screamingly useless' imho
asciilifeform: when i wrote 1st draft of logotron, i initially made mistake where lines were displayed in order of timestamp. even very old logs became an adventure in wtf upon reading
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940139 << it's not altogether clear what is here meant by "attack".

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: possibly grandfathered. when asciilifeform experimented w/ no-sslism connect via own (cloakistic) nick, ended up w/ displayed ip.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940155 << it's very fucking weird to me, all this "trying" and "attacks" and nonsense. did ~you~ ask them to null route your ips is the idea ?

mp_en_viaje: well then wtf.
asciilifeform: bvt: 180 appears to work (tested for coupla hrs) but may need empirical test.
mp_en_viaje: anyways, in trying to evaluate... duration... i look at http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940161 and wonder... how long since this "nao" ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-04 14:14:09 asciilifeform: for hr+ nao
mp_en_viaje: ie was about 4 hours ago ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: 10:48 new york time .
asciilifeform: per asciilifeform's local scroller.
bvt: well yes, 180 > 140; also freenode declares clients dead after ~250 secs of silence, so 180 should work
mp_en_viaje: it's like 4pm now, so 6 hours ?
asciilifeform: indeed!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo are you alive in there ?!
mp_en_viaje: haha, your "isp" was offline for 6 hours because "attacks" ?!
asciilifeform: the idjicy of the upstream piper seems to weigh 9000x what 'attack' weighed.
mp_en_viaje: the problem here'd be that there's only four quarters in each day and with barely thirty days in a month, your uptime comes to... two nines, o rmore precisely 119/120

mp_en_viaje: so far the only constructions seems to be "gringos started asking questions about our shitty uptime, let's nullroute their boxes for a day or so and see".

ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-04 14:37:17 asciilifeform: mp's www fwiw doesn't seem visibly affected. so prolly not included on the magick list.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: plox to share the 'undreamy' straight-logic then ?
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, in all honesty, so far i can't in the slightest distinguish the spew from the alleged dc from the spew of "virtual server, fiddy bux" provider.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: any word from these ? even so much as a timetable for getting the service we're paying for ? << Their estimate to call back was half and hour issued 16 minutes before the question
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, the fact that trilema doesn't really suffer from "rotating ddos" aka, some dork with a wp list &c, is that trilema is an adult service, rather than a flavour of above mentioned, "virtual server, fiddy bux"
mp_en_viaje: otherwise, there's a script kiddy / week or thereabouts, coming to nigh on a thousand by now.
mp_en_viaje: eg, last when i pissed on the rotards' collected heads.
mp_en_viaje: they don't mention this, of course, "haha, we're fucked in the head, so loser, totally stupid, tried to ddos trilema but it did not werk, we will now give up everything and dedicate remainder of lives to glorification of this our superior"
mp_en_viaje: but nevertheless, the logs, i have. which is kinda the distinguishing factor between man and child in this sense. if real ddos, there's packet captures. if derpitude, there's words.
asciilifeform had just about same observation as in above, but currently at a loss for actionable idea short of buying a trawler and laying own fibers
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-04 17:15:13 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i guess this is an illuminative experiment re the q of what it is we actually get for that ( pretty hefty, quite enuff to keep three bus-fuls of orcs in empanadas erry month ) pipe fee. turns out not 200Mb/s , but 'what we feel like aint too hard' ??
mp_en_viaje: speaking of which, hanbot check out this fucktard : https://tmblog.ro/rahatul-pe-care-l-consumam/#comment-1213
mp_en_viaje: HE STILL DIDN:T GET IT.
mp_en_viaje: actually, i guess it's lulzyrelevant. the "Eh, dar dacă pun un articol cu o țâță, cu o bucă, cu o tipă îmbrăcată sumar sau, cum a fost ultimul, cu 2 tipe plimbate în lesă prin oraș…pac, 10.000 de vizite în primele 3 ore, de m-au sunat oamenii de la firma de hosting că ce se întâmplă, că le pun serverele în cap!" passage roughly translates to a) obscure idiotic blog organised by the remnants of [http://
mp_en_viaje: trilema.com/2009/progresam-maria-ta/][obscure idiots from timisoara] "had 10`000 visits in the first three hours" on meta-piece discussing muh whores (which he doesn't realise YET, such an informed moron he is), and the dc called him because of SERVERS (plural).
mp_en_viaje: such delightful fictive world like one could never invent.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940190 << look, the sort of shit here discussed is https://www.bootyou.net/ sorta ~nothing. if it actually does put you on the fritz, and the hoster starts whining about "attacks" and whatnot, you just need a real hoster.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-04 14:41:51 asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-04#1940177 << i oughta expand re this. ddos is cheap but not free, if the 1e6 or whatnot winblowz boxen were evenly split to piss into 20 diff addrs, would not amount to much effect. so traditionally rotates, e.g. 3min to 1, then to next, and so on, in circle.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-04 17:32:32 diana_coman: asciilifeform: uhm, how does that reasoning go? they fire less at my box because one box or what? anyways, is there at least any concrete communication from piz's data centre re what they are doing otherwise exactly?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: couldja share what it was you said to the latech derps ? cuz i'm getting the impression that you left'em with impression that it is somehow acceptable to nullrout a paying customer's ip block.
BingoBoingo: I'm going to draft an inquiry for the business side contact asking what can be done to keep routine internet weather from incurring a reaction far more destructive than the weather. Will post for review before issuing. In the latest news from the tech team http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=QSzj
mp_en_viaje: they are working with isp huh. aite.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i've had the suspicion since august that these people are overselling their bw.
mp_en_viaje: in other minutia, since i'm using diana_coman 's logviewer i notice that ancient behaviour of, if you click on a link on the page page is reloaded came back. asciilifeform 's viewer does not do this for some reason.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: artifact of browser possibly ?
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, so far thing doesn't seem all that kosher. i dunno wtf sense this makes, but a sit down with them will hafta happen cuz obviously pizarro's dead in the water like this
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, possibly. why would it behave differently tho
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: heavy page, low mem ? cannot say, but doubt that it is connected to which logotron ( diana_coman's box is running same item as mine was when went down )
mp_en_viaje: can't be exactly same wtf ?!
mp_en_viaje: yours does not reload the page on clicking a link ; hers does
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: does lobbes's same ?
mp_en_viaje: um... doesn't seem to load. is this affected by pizarro ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: lobbes's ? loads here. ( not housed in piz )
mp_en_viaje: does not reload page.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not only mp_en_viaje has point, and yer gonna have to talk w/ latech , but is high time to find out what other dc exists in that orcistan, lt's can't be the only 1 ( if it were, would be dangerously close shave in itself, to be had over a barrel )
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, there's a state monopoly on data transfer. can't have meaningfully diff dcs.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i've yet to witness this oddity, where page reloads when link clicked
mp_en_viaje: not from this pov at any rate.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: this may be, but asciilifeform does not yet know on what level of the idjit pyramid took place this particular idjicy.
mp_en_viaje: hm... apparently diana_coman 's doesn't either. i guess i must've caught self in own fingers somehow
mp_en_viaje: aite well... i guess ima bdsm partay nao. best of luck to the beached galley crew!
asciilifeform had similar wtf coupla yrs ago, ended up tracing it to bug in the oddball ~keyboard~ controller he was using
asciilifeform: why ty mp_en_viaje .
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I intend to pointedly ask what other carriers might be more responsive.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: see mp_en_viaje's point above. i suspect he's right
asciilifeform: ( evidently somewhere do exist 'serious adult' carriers, i.e. where mp_en_viaje parks his box. but for some reason he sent BingoBoingo to uy, and not to there )
BingoBoingo: I still have to ask what other carriers are available.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: btw still waiting for call ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Recieved http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=QSzj instead of call
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: keep the heat on the arse.
asciilifeform: dulap was reachable for <1min lol
asciilifeform: ... still dead
BingoBoingo: Most of Pizarro is back. Now we have to figure out how to bring 2 Rockchips and dulap back without them autoconnecting to Freenode cloakless
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dulap aint autoconnecting. still has old bot.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Aite
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: is it unplugged atm , or wat ?
asciilifeform: was up for <1min then dead again
asciilifeform: e.g. qntra loads
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: it's still nullrouted atm, will poke them.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: listen, the whole 'oh but uncloaked' thing is ridiculous. what, this is isp that falls down when a sparrow farts on it ?!
asciilifeform: what will happen when 7 sparrows fart ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There are 2 problems here. 1. ISP falls over 2. Uncloaked bouncer means sophisticated attacker can masquerade as lazy sparrow farting attacker
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i aint about to use sslism.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Per their docs it should work without sslism per http://archive.is/dm0Z0#selection-181.30-191.59
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this is how the current bot logs in. however it dun work with cloaks (except apparently for old accts, e.g. mp's)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you do understand that even if your idea re 'it's a irc ddos bot' is factual , it aint any kind of solution to ddos ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i would also like to find a solution that is cheaper than 'switch continents' . but 'cloak bots and pray to satan that enemy doesn't realize that he already knows the piz ip range' aint any kind of solution !! at all
BingoBoingo: There doesn't seem to be any non-Gossip protocol solution to DDoS. As far as I can cleave the problems right now Latcho/Antel's inept handling of DDoS is one problem. Denying cheap cover to DDoS'r is other problem.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje somehow solves, neh
asciilifeform: it is difficult to argue with his example. his box -- stays up.
BingoBoingo: I suspect 1. blip in Pizarro network causes big batch of IRC reconnects, 2. Pretext to walk IPs emerges, hitting ips from /join messages during window
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: can you drive through the thick heads that 'getting ddos' aint a violation of the service terms, and that the fuckers are obligated to provide service, on whatever level available ?! what is this nullrouting bullshit anyway?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm working on putting together a draft for that. Before I send it, I will paste it in channel because I would like serious feedback to make sure I am putting the right questions and pressure on them.
asciilifeform: if qntra loads, dulap should be reachable, basta
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: aite, will read
asciilifeform: http://thewhet.net appears to load. hanbot can write that article nao...
BingoBoingo: !Q later tell billymg You seem to have a naked bouncer running on your Rockchip. Let me know how you want to move forward with getting the machine back online.
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: !Q later tell lobbes You seem to have a naked bouncer running on your Rockchip. Let me know how you want to move forward with getting the machine back online.
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: baitbot (~baitbot@pool-108-31-170-3.washdc.fios.verizon.net) has joined #trilema << asciilifeform requests fire on own position!!1
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm starting to suspect that your theory re irc bots dun hold water
asciilifeform: asciilifeform oughta be drowning in liquishit just about nao, neh
asciilifeform: hrm, lemme put it in all the usual chans & reset.
asciilifeform: 0 flood.
asciilifeform: so BingoBoingo , can put that hypothesis to rest finally ?
BingoBoingo: We can put to rest the idea that was done in a completely automated way corresponding cleanly to joins
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: is dulap the last 1 left in the cold ? what's the obstacle to gettin' it plugge in atm ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Duplap and three Rockchips including mine are left in the cold atm.
asciilifeform: what's the answr to the 2nd half ?
BingoBoingo: I keep playing this fucking game of telephone with Latecho/Antel
asciilifeform: i'ma take a walk an' come back.
BingoBoingo going to keep compiling the pointed questions
BingoBoingo: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=MHHw << Here is a draft of what I have so far to send. asciilifeform mp_en_viaje I would like your input. Please let me know if anything is missing.
BingoBoingo: I also just received http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=4nFG "We can have a call next Monday, if that is OK with your schedule. We think that a firewall will help you with this type of problems."
