20:56 asciilifeform thimbronion: oblig. spam re your znc -- i have rk avail., perfect for znc, and rock-solid uplink.
20:56 snsabot (ossasepia) 2019-11-27 thimbronion: diana_coman: apologies. I am actually connected via a znc via a machine at a colo. I can /part until I figure out why my colo's connection is so bad.
21:00 asciilifeform !q uptime
21:00 snsabot asciilifeform: time since my last reconnect : 24d 5h 41m
21:11 thimbronion asciilifeform: depending on if my colo has a good explanation for wtf is going on I may follow up on this.
~ 38 minutes ~
21:49 asciilifeform thimbronion: thus far my upstream vendor has not given me any reason to doubt their claims (ddos resistance, 'backbone' uplink, etc) -- since i 1st plugged in own box there 35d ago, 0 unplanned irc disconnects, 0 dropped shells .
21:50 asciilifeform ( asciilifeform's personal zncism not yet moved there; but snsabot -- there. )
21:51 asciilifeform granted, piz's net pipe also seemed unsinkable until sank. so early to say 'world class pipe' .
21:55 thimbronion My isp's excuse was: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=XZPx. Seems like it could happen again at any time.
21:56 BingoBoingo router problems were Piz upstream's first excuses too
21:56 asciilifeform thimbronion: sounds suspiciously like ^
21:57 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-02#1939671 specifically.
21:57 snsabot (trilema) 2019-10-02 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Issue with an upstream switch is the report.
22:03 thimbronion asciilifeform: your colo doesn't happen to be located in Laurel, MD, does it?
22:04 asciilifeform thimbronion: it is, and pictured here .
22:04 asciilifeform thimbronion: i picked one that i could drive to easily on half hr's notice .
22:05 thimbronion Coincidentally I think I hosted a mcahine there running, of all things, an irc logger, in roughly 2004.
22:05 asciilifeform thimbronion: proprietor said they've been in biz since mid-'90s so entirely possib.
22:06 asciilifeform they have a branch in baltimore also, but i haven't been in it yet .
22:07 asciilifeform thimbronion: coloco co. doesn't offer indiv. (1u) hosting today tho. possibly you were sub-leasing ?
22:10 thimbronion Possibly. I have an email thread from coloco from 2005, so it appears this was indeed the same place.
22:10 asciilifeform interesting.
22:11 asciilifeform today they sell in units of half- and full- tower.
22:11 asciilifeform thimbronion: willing to share why left this vendor ?
22:13 thimbronion Details are foggy, but - the projecs I was hosting there at the time never took off. Also I moved to the other coast.
22:13 asciilifeform a.
22:13 thimbronion I believe they happily shipped me my box after I closed my account.
22:14 asciilifeform reputable folx -- always will
22:16 asciilifeform thimbronion: have you been on the grounds there in person ? or mailed in box
22:16 thimbronion I made a few trips to the facility, yes.
22:16 asciilifeform it's peculiarly comfortable , for a colo -- board rooms, kitchen, etc.
22:17 thimbronion I don't remember those being there at all. I only vaguely remember the server room my machine happened to be in.
22:17 asciilifeform possibly they added these amenities for folx who spend much time inside .
22:18 thimbronion I was in Linthicum, so not a long trip.
22:19 asciilifeform fwiw i did not pick'em because kitchen & toilet , but for pretty good price. and geographically convenient .
22:20 thimbronion I'm pretty sure at the time they were they only place I could afford.
22:20 asciilifeform certain other nearby vendors wanted 2-3x the price, and even after lengthy conversation it remained unclear for what exactly.
22:22 asciilifeform thimbronion: iirc you had a rk at piz. i'm the one who built the rk plant there , and ported gentoo to it, etc. a rk identical to that one can be yours within a day of subscription whenever you want.
22:23 thimbronion I only had a shared instance.
22:23 asciilifeform each 1 gets own ipv4 addr, too ( i notice that your current isp forces ipv6ism.. )
22:23 asciilifeform aa hm
22:23 asciilifeform for some reason i thought thimbronion had rk.
22:23 thimbronion I wanted a rk.
22:24 thimbronion Hm I have an ipv4 with datanoc.
22:24 asciilifeform * thimbronion (~thimbroni@2607:fea0::225:90ff:fe71:4662) has joined #asciilifeform
22:24 asciilifeform ^ what's this then ?
22:26 thimbronion asciilifeform: That's weird. Let me check what universe I'm in here...
22:26 * asciilifeform brb:meat chores
22:29 thimbronion This is what my ip address should be: 63.80.184.72, and is in fact the machne on which both my bouncer and irc client are running.
~ 48 minutes ~
23:18 asciilifeform thimbronion: interesting -- remains mystery then, wai shows up as a ipv6ism
~ 16 minutes ~
23:34 shinohai Set `IPv6 = false` in znc config, force it.
23:43 asciilifeform shinohai: ftr i disable ipv6ism at the main switch. and intend to keep doing so.

23:54 asciilifeform shinohai: mostly -- isp massage .
23:55 shinohai Glad it seems to be working out thus far.
23:55 asciilifeform shinohai: finding any difficulties in ch4 ?
23:57 shinohai Well as I mentioned earlier, your puzzle gave me a day or so of head-scratching. Wanted to complete it without cheating and going back through logs.
23:58 asciilifeform shinohai: succeeded ?
23:58 shinohai Yup, my solution ended up being same method as PeterL used lol. That was kinda fun!
23:58 asciilifeform shinohai: a++
23:59 * shinohai should have signed patch up in day or so, have been swamped with paperwork for the girls ...
