The story is basically the same as Navrozov's, so it would be boring to repeat, but basically I came away with the feeling that I'd told someone his Sicilian grandmother liked to get drunk and fuck her own goats.' |

wtf is 'pyenv' anyway ? it aint in my gentoo portage |
16:20 |
thimbronion |
it's a shim that allows you to switch between python versions |
16:21 |
asciilifeform |
guessed as much. but where does one get it ? |
16:22 |
thimbronion |
shithub: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv |
16:22 |
PeterL |
os needs to get imported, should be one of the default modules available in any python version |
16:22 |
shinohai |
My version of blatta at least `import os` is very first line! |
16:23 |
asciilifeform |
for that matter my v.py imports it |
16:23 |
asciilifeform |
and worx a++, is how i pressed |
16:23 |
asciilifeform |
so wtf |
16:23 |
thimbronion |
oh oh yeah. could be a bug in blatta - possible triggered by some option asciilifeorm is using that I don't ever use... |
16:23 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: i ran with './blatta --debug --ports 5000 --udp-port 13337 --statedir ~/state --verbose' |
16:24 |
asciilifeform |
it runs a++ until one tries to join #pest |
16:24 |
thimbronion |
ok never used --statedir before |

I think there was a similar issue with --logdir |

hm then worx |
16:25 |

i have thimbronion peered but see only self in #pest |

ah worx! |
16:28 |

'WOT' doesn't seem to show times of last contact |
16:32 |

16:33 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: at has it |
16:33 |
shinohai |
I don't have asciilifeform peered yet, did not have info for at |
16:34 |
asciilifeform |
a! |
16:34 |
asciilifeform |
btw in that case not worx per spec, AT showed a contact with shinohai |
16:35 |
asciilifeform |
ought to show time of last ~received~ valid packet from peer, per sect. 2.5.1 |
16:35 |
asciilifeform |
( unless shinohai peered asciilifeform while i was speaking this ) |
16:35 |

asciilifeform will leave it running for nao but thing defo needs some debugging. e.g. dedup randomly fails. |

asciilifeform: dedup problem resolved |
16:59 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: hm? |
16:59 |
thimbronion |
the multiple messages were due to shinohai having two entries for you in the wot. Now there's only one and we aren't seeing anymore duplicated messages. |

17:00 |

I need to update the wot db to enforce unique handles, though. |

asciilifeform: Unsure. Are you not seeing anymore messages? |

asciilifeform |
nope |

thimbronion |
asciilifeform 71.191.220.241:64130 |
17:12 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: ah this is interesting -- that's an ephemeral port |
17:12 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: i suspect that the mechanism there needs refinement |
17:12 |
asciilifeform |
( if a permanent port is known for a peer, that's the 1 that oughta be used for contact ) |
17:13 |
thimbronion |
ohhh ok. I have dealt with issues there before. |
17:13 |
asciilifeform |
or possib. needs a packet router finesse so that they leave out the specificed hole |
17:13 |
asciilifeform |
ephemeral routes expire btw |
17:13 |
asciilifeform |
could be why asciilifeform's station is silent |
17:17 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: it is unclear to me right now why you're blatta is not sending from 13337 |
17:17 |
thimbronion |
*your |
17:18 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: it's behind a nat (with 13337 inbound routed correctly to inside) |
| |
↖ |
17:22 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: I thikn that's it. Currently blatta updates the at to the last address and port a message from a peer was received from. |
17:22 |
asciilifeform |
this is per spec tho. i suspect that the question needs handling on router end |
17:23 |
asciilifeform |
station oughta send from same port as it expects to receive in |
17:23 |
thimbronion |
yes |
| |
~ 26 minutes ~ |
17:50 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: current address/port I have for you: 71.191.220.241:8561 |
17:50 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: again ephemeral port, aha |
17:50 |
asciilifeform |
i suspect this explains the message loss |
17:50 |
thimbronion |
yep. |
17:50 |
asciilifeform |
(errybody else must be testing on 'naked' boxes w/out filters ?) |
17:50 |
thimbronion |
I am |
17:51 |
asciilifeform |
shinohai, billymg ? |
17:52 |
billymg |
asciilifeform: no filters that i know of, no |
17:53 |
asciilifeform |
thing oughta work from behind a nat. will need to think (and suggestions invited) how to do this w/out mutilating spec |
17:54 |
asciilifeform |
a nat with an inbound rule oughta be sufficient (for both sides of a peering in fact) |
17:54 |
shinohai |
No filters here either, simply opened the port for pest station. |
17:55 |
thimbronion |
I briefly looked into "hole punching" but was rapidly in over my head |
17:55 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: do shinohai's packets on your end show up from constant port ? |
17:56 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: 'hole punching' actually is what we're doing presently,turns out, w/ asciilifeform's station; but it dunwork reliably, because ephemeral |
| |
↖ |
17:56 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: I have two ips and one port from shinohai |
17:57 |
asciilifeform |
i suspect that asciilifeform's station needs an outbound rule in pfsense |
17:57 |
shinohai |
2 ip's O.o |
17:58 |
asciilifeform |
( either that; or packets oughta have a field for requested inbound port, possibly ) |
17:58 |
thimbronion |
First one I have from shinohai is: 165.227.204.241 |
17:59 |
asciilifeform |
thinking about it, no need for field, simply need to avoid updating port in AT, only update ip when valid packet is received from new one |
| |
↖ |
18:00 |
shinohai |
thimbronion: first one is bot ip |
18:00 |
asciilifeform |
that way will work with strictly inbound rule |
18:00 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: easy change |
18:01 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion, signpost , shinohai , billymg , et al -- can anyone think of a reason not to do this ? |
18:01 |
asciilifeform |
imho worth discussing, no reason to hurry |
18:02 |
shinohai |
I can think of no reason here offhand. |
18:02 |
asciilifeform |
it would mean that port gotta be set manually (via 'AT') before a peering can work |
18:02 |
asciilifeform |
but aside from that, afaik harmless |
18:02 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: only objection I have is that it was pretty nice to be able to just pass out a key and address and not have to wait for a gpgram with the the other guy's address. |
18:02 |
asciilifeform |
right |
18:03 |
asciilifeform |
possibly would even make sense to have a 'return addr' msg type |
18:04 |
asciilifeform |
i can think of circumstances where outgoing and incoming ip, and not only port, may differ for a station |
18:05 |
* |
asciilifeform will switch off his testbed for nao |
18:07 |
asciilifeform |
if it's an easy fix via pfsense outbound rule, possib. oughta keep thing as it is |

asciilifeform |
as with e.g. vtrons -- the moar the merrier |
18:38 |
asciilifeform |
imho is simple enuff protocol that just about erryone could make own client |

Logged on 2021-11-08 12:59:17 asciilifeform: thinking about it, no need for field, simply need to avoid updating port in AT, only update ip when valid packet is received from new one |
18:38 |
asciilifeform |
( much simpler than 'full bore' irc say ) |
18:39 |
punkman |
I did some googling about "outgoing UDP port" then, didn't get to bottom of it though |
18:39 |
asciilifeform |
punkman: initially asciilifeform concretely wanted to avoid 'standard port' but seems that without some port fixation of whatever kind , will be a bitch to speak via nat |
18:40 |
asciilifeform |
the headache with ephemeral ports is that most routers require the machine behind the nat to 'keep it alive' by sending packets over some unspecified interval |
18:40 |
asciilifeform |
if stops doing this -- that port gets closed and the next packet will come outta a new ephemeral port |
| |
↖ |
18:41 |
asciilifeform |
typical 'worx in nat' udpisms solve this simply by being 'chatty' enuff |
18:46 |
punkman |
perhaps a problem with how the python socket is set up |
18:47 |
asciilifeform |
punkman: not to say there isn't, but simply the default behaviour of a nat is sufficient to explain the ports thing |
18:47 |
asciilifeform |
upstack, thimbronion , why would this cause dupes ? |
18:47 |
dulapbot |
Logged on 2021-11-08 11:59:53 thimbronion: the multiple messages were due to shinohai having two entries for you in the wot. Now there's only one and we aren't seeing anymore duplicated messages. |
18:48 |
asciilifeform |
if his station spuriously rebroadcast asciilifeform's msg , they oughta have still been properly deduped by the receivers |
18:48 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: haven't had time to repro and debug locally, so I don't know precicely why. |
18:48 |
asciilifeform |
a ok |
18:49 |
asciilifeform |
i still suspect broken deduper, for above reason |
18:49 |
asciilifeform |
(possibly the thing alters timestamps when rebroadcasting ? by spec it mustn't) |
18:50 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: well atm no dupes, lots of broadcasting and forwarding going on... |
18:50 |
asciilifeform |
(a rebroadcast msg is naturally reciphered/resigned to be readable by its receivers, but otherwise gotta stay unaltered) |
18:51 |
asciilifeform |
hence why 'bounce counter' is in the packet but outside the msg |
18:51 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: this is how rebroadcasting is implemented, yes |
18:51 |
asciilifeform |
a ok |
18:51 |

asciilifeform will read the coad in coming days |
18:52 |

thimbronion is certain asciilifeform will find some howlers |
18:54 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: i also suggest that debug spew ought not include failed decrypts unless fails for all known keys |
18:54 |
asciilifeform |
(the current behaviour is rather confusing) |
18:55 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: I will take the time to formulate the problem there. Not sure how to describe it at the moment. |
18:55 |
asciilifeform |
i'd simply print 'martian from ip:port' etc |
18:56 |
thimbronion |
honestly surprised anyone took the time to look at the debug log |
18:56 |
asciilifeform |
how else to debug, lol |
18:57 |
thimbronion |
true |
18:57 |
asciilifeform |
atm the log's quite edible, what with 0 spam and very few legit packets flying |
18:58 |
asciilifeform |
when folx start piping Gbs of warez via pest, may be trickier |
18:58 |
asciilifeform |
( and doubtful that a py client will keep up , fwiw ) |
18:58 |
thimbronion |
indeed. used to be more verbose, displaying ciphertext, and more |
18:59 |
asciilifeform |
btw for 'production' client you prolly dun want keys in logs under any circumstance |
18:59 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: yep |
19:02 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: would be interesting to stress test the py client and see when it falls down |
19:03 |
asciilifeform |
indeed |
19:03 |
asciilifeform |
if correct logic, won't 'fall down' as such, simply will run outta cpu above some incoming packet rate |
19:04 |
thimbronion |
right |

I think anonymity (however fickle a thing) serves it's purpose well for an observer. Especially investigating communities that you would certainly rather have separated from your AFK identity. I.e. various imageboards, communities etc. One might later regret those communications (as I have in the past). |

asciilifeform: my rationale for implementing blatta in python was: just get up a p2p thing that everyone can use to chat and test out/iron out the spec so we can get off of IRC asap. Do you think it's worth finishing, even though it likely won't be able to handle heavier traffic uses? |

all anonymity does is to destroy the very possibility of human relations. |

there's no actual win from this, it is simply fraudulently foisted on folx as a 'either erryone signs with passport name, or this' pseudoinevitability. |

when you send a pgpgram to e.g. asciilifeform , you can be (reasonably) certain that it'll be read by the fella who signed e.g. trb genesis and so on. |
22:45 |

it is for folx who would rather keep company with continuous identities than with amoebic froth. |

imho there is no actual advantage to deliberately taking the position of amoeba, living 'on birds' rights' among people; only illusory 'advantages'. but it is not simple to convince noobs of this, typically they gotta see (or not) for themselves. |
