14:27 mircea_popescu it being the last blk
14:27 asciilifeform and yes mine's full
14:27 asciilifeform but your-last isn't, it seems, mine-any.
14:27 mircea_popescu so node got stuck on orphan.
14:28 mircea_popescu and you never heard that orphan.
14:28 asciilifeform not just one.
14:28 asciilifeform you're at least 10 deep, looks like ?
14:28 mircea_popescu and inasmuch as node wasn't capable of extracting itself naturally, and it IS a trb node, this qualifies as successful attack against network, by and large.
14:30 asciilifeform ruled out connectivity as culprit ?
14:30 asciilifeform (if it wedges and never speaks to honest node again, it'll stay wedged, noshit.jpg)
14:35 asciilifeform diff zoolag_u.txt mp_u.txt | grep '^>' | sed 's/^>\ //' > mp_but_not_zoolag.txt
14:35 asciilifeform and, unsurprisingly,
14:36 asciilifeform diff mp_u.txt zoolag_u.txt | grep '^>' | sed 's/^>\ //' > zoolag_but_not_mp.txt
14:38 mircea_popescu node was well connected throughout.
14:39 mircea_popescu if you want to trace specific peers i can grep the monster debug i guess
14:40 asciilifeform 1sec, let's finish the earlier escapade :
14:41 asciilifeform grep -wFf mp_but_not_zoolag.txt mp_blk0036.txt > what_mp_had_and_dulap_didnt.txt
14:42 asciilifeform now for the money shot:
14:42 asciilifeform http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/wtf/what_mp_had_and_dulap_didnt.txt
14:42 asciilifeform 2430..2431 we'll ignore, that looks like an orphanlet
14:43 mircea_popescu 84 long ?
14:43 asciilifeform but now 2502 .. 2584 !
14:43 asciilifeform aha!
14:43 mircea_popescu say, did you look in your blk37 also ?
14:43 mircea_popescu it ~could~ end up in there.
14:43 asciilifeform 1s
14:43 mircea_popescu (note that one of these is about 2.5k blocks long, like 2 weeks ish)
14:45 asciilifeform aaaalmost done..
14:51 asciilifeform ooook this is interesting
14:52 asciilifeform my 37 contains contains all 84.
14:52 asciilifeform *contains all 84
14:52 asciilifeform so looks like zoolag (and dulap, and everybody) reorged, but mircea_popescu's node didn't
14:52 asciilifeform i am left with 0 clue re why.

17:43 mircea_popescu jurov haven't published qntra report yet, no.
17:46 mircea_popescu http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20170303/#268 << i have nfi either, but it ~looks~ like it did not believe A NUMBER OF txn from the root of the reorg are validable.
17:46 scriba Logged on 2017-03-03: [19:52:58] <asciilifeform> i am left with 0 clue re why.
17:47 pete_dushenski spooky
17:48 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what leads you to this hypothesis ?
17:48 mircea_popescu that the log essentially consists of complaints that txn can't be validated and so the block can't be added.
17:49 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: everybody's log consists of multiple GB of 'tx cannot be validated.'
17:49 asciilifeform these eggogs refer to mempool tx
17:49 mircea_popescu not 150gb theree3of.
17:49 asciilifeform i have a 80+GB log of mainly that.
17:49 asciilifeform and before it, a 100+, etc.
17:50 mircea_popescu well, looks. what can i say.
17:50 asciilifeform there is a much simpler, though disheartening, explanation
17:50 mircea_popescu i've looked at the block specifically, i can't figure out why it would say such a thing myself.
17:51 asciilifeform trb's block push/pull mechanism is so retarded, that it is possible for a node to go for eons in a wedge, simply from never receiving the necessary unwedge blocks.
17:51 mircea_popescu 40k blocks ? i dun see it.
17:52 asciilifeform well it keeps asking for 419374, and getting 'wrong' one.
17:52 asciilifeform the real puzzler is why not reorgs.
17:54 asciilifeform here's a q: what happens if two forklets are tied in PoW ?
17:55 mircea_popescu pow is a "double"
17:56 asciilifeform hey i did not say that this situation is likely to happen by chance.
17:56 asciilifeform q was, 'what happens'.
17:56 asciilifeform because, http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1212 >> as i currently understand it, in this case, reorg does not fire.
17:58 asciilifeform upstack: the sad thing is, i am not even equipped to answer whether 419373 was part of an orphanable forklet on mircea_popescu's node ; and if so, when orphaned at large
17:58 mircea_popescu afaik reorg fires by block length. eventually -- would.
17:58 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that's a major part of the problem, everything can appear as orphans to a portion of the network only.
17:59 asciilifeform what i meant is, i specifically do not have the most basic means of answering the most basic questions about the blocks, other than their bitwise identities as pictured earlier
17:59 asciilifeform and this is serious headache
18:00 asciilifeform didn't ben_vulpes ( or trinque ? ) write a block debugger ?
18:00 asciilifeform gotta at least be able to draw the motherfucking tree
18:02 asciilifeform incidentally trb probably ought to shit a sha512 of incoming block into the debug log
18:02 asciilifeform then we would, for instance, know , what mircea_popescu's node heard, and when
18:02 asciilifeform right now we only have satoshi's header idiocy
18:02 pete_dushenski http://cascadianhacker.com/21_a-tour-of-bitcoind-booting-to-its-first-thread << this ? pngs are broken tho
18:03 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: this in re which ?
18:03 pete_dushenski debugger
18:03 ben_vulpes baww fuq
18:03 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: i don't see a block debugger in there
18:04 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: block debugger would be like my 'blkcut', except for ~block~, as output by blkcut, would display header, transactions, etc.
18:04 ben_vulpes pete_dushenski: that piece was stuffed full of 'gdb', 'gnu debugger' screenshots
18:04 asciilifeform entirely not connected with this thread, pete_dushenski
18:04 asciilifeform ( i naively supposed that meaning of 'block debugger' is obvious to reader )
18:05 ben_vulpes such naivte
18:05 pete_dushenski apparently i dun get it
18:05 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: consider reading today's log
18:06 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu showed up with a bag of clues from a trb node that wedged some weeks ago. so now autopsy.
18:07 pete_dushenski oh i got that, just not sure which block debugger you thought you remembered seeing and wherefrom
18:07 * pete_dushenski back to diggin on ch
18:07 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: somebody, iirc it was ben_vulpes , wrote a thing that actually parses blox
18:08 pete_dushenski that rings a bell ya
18:08 asciilifeform y'know, which then turned into mimisbrunnr
18:08 pete_dushenski http://cascadianhacker.com/extracting-and-hashing-bitcoin-block-headers ?
18:09 asciilifeform possibly it, but plus a bunch of moving parts which may or may not have been yet published?
18:09 asciilifeform ben_vulpes ^ ?
18:11 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: grep your log for reorg. when was last reorg ?
18:11 pete_dushenski in other measurement strange, https://www.cnet.com/news/icon-smart-condom-ring/?ftag=COS-05-10aaa0b&linkId=35064659
18:11 ben_vulpes yes yes?
18:11 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: didja ever publish your block parser ?
18:11 ben_vulpes not in toto, no
18:11 asciilifeform i could really use one...
18:12 ben_vulpes it doesn't do too much, depends on blocks having been dumped via dumpblock.
18:12 asciilifeform (well rather, mircea_popescu could really use one. but he probably doesn't have the runtime readily set up)
18:12 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: we have just such blocks
18:12 ben_vulpes i'd be happy to send you any relevant bits, let me package up what i have for you
18:12 asciilifeform actually
18:12 asciilifeform why not ben_vulpes blkcut mircea_popescu's 0036
18:12 asciilifeform sadly asciilifeform is tied up doing a chore atm
18:13 mircea_popescu dude why can't he do whatever it is he's doing lol ; i did publish the thing.
18:13 ben_vulpes aye, let me find the log line
18:13 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-03#1621572

18:14 ben_vulpes tape has since self-destructed?
18:15 asciilifeform waiwat
18:15 ben_vulpes 0036.dat also implies a trb .dat file, not a dumpblocked file? happy to crack it open and see though
18:15 ben_vulpes > page not found
18:15 mircea_popescu gah.
18:15 mircea_popescu yeah seems it got eaten meanwhile. a sec ima re-move it.
18:15 mircea_popescu gotta stay on top of logs!111
18:15 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: it blkcut's great. and you should get http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/wtf/mp_blk0036.txt checksums.
18:16 ben_vulpes aye aye
18:18 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes now.
18:20 ben_vulpes same url?
18:20 mircea_popescu ye
18:20 ben_vulpes hm
18:20 ben_vulpes > 404
18:21 mircea_popescu eh da fuck
18:22 * ben_vulpes wouldn't know
18:23 mircea_popescu wrong permissions ; try now.
18:24 ben_vulpes aya, give me a few
18:25 mircea_popescu jurov nao done.
18:36 ben_vulpes pete_dushenski: ty, fixed
18:38 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: what means "draw the motherfucking tree"?
18:38 mircea_popescu the optmistic notion that the unknown may be better drawn than said.
18:38 mircea_popescu he's a painter at heart.
18:39 asciilifeform just means to dump the which-block-depends-on-which-blocks tree
18:39 mircea_popescu it implies that oyu know all blocks.
18:39 asciilifeform for given set
18:39 mircea_popescu all blocks.
18:40 asciilifeform tardoshi stored them in linear tape for some reason, with 0 markings
18:40 pete_dushenski ben_vulpes: nice.
18:41 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: a block doesn't get to sit down in blk**** in trb unless its antecedents are present.
18:41 asciilifeform so gaps are not a thing.
18:41 deedbot http://trilema.com/2017/qntra-sqntr-february-2017-statement/ << Trilema - Qntra (S.QNTR) February 2017 Statement
18:41 mircea_popescu yes, but different blk sets, different seats etc.
18:43 pete_dushenski !~bcstats
18:43 jhvh1 pete_dushenski: Current Blocks: 455648 | Current Difficulty: 4.6076935809E11 | Next Difficulty At Block: 457631 | Next Difficulty In: 1983 blocks | Next Difficulty In About: 1 week, 5 days, 21 hours, 49 minutes, and 19 seconds | Next Difficulty Estimate: None | Estimated Percent Change: None
18:43 asciilifeform well yes. hence why i said 'draw tree', i.e. list the blocks in form, e.g., b1->b2->{b2a1, b2b1->b2b2->b2b3} << in this example, b2a1 is orphanlet
18:43 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: 0036.dat downloaded
18:44 asciilifeform (does not need to be, obviously, literally in this form, but the same effect)
18:44 mircea_popescu ah like that. well we pretty much have that here, it'd seem, neh ?
18:44 asciilifeform if ben_vulpes's parser worx -- then yes
18:44 asciilifeform we probably can haz.
18:48 ben_vulpes it'll procure previous hash from a given block, could be taped into making a list of blocks
18:53 ben_vulpes block of interest is last in blk0036.dat?
18:54 mircea_popescu 419373 and thereabous
18:55 ben_vulpes is there a straightforward mapping of height to position in blk.dat i missed?
18:56 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: no, think about it, blockchain is a tree, but the turdfile is a linear tape
18:56 mircea_popescu prolly best search by hash
18:56 asciilifeform it stores live and orphaned chains alike
18:56 asciilifeform in the order they were seen
18:56 ben_vulpes linear barring orphans
18:56 ben_vulpes ah yes, that
18:56 ben_vulpes in order of receipt
19:03 ben_vulpes with the caveat that there is something funky with satoshi counts in this parser that i have yet to properly nail: http://cascadianhacker.com/2584.txt
19:03 ben_vulpes in *my parser
19:04 mircea_popescu well those nailings being the principal point of this exercise.
19:04 mircea_popescu it'd be tremendously helpful for instance if the trb node had found it within its good graces TO FUCKING PUT TIMESTAMPS IN THE LOG.
19:04 ben_vulpes oh and this doesn't actually render the header in a digestible form. okay, disregard.
19:05 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: can you find this block in mimisbrunnr ?
19:09 ben_vulpes doubtful that i would find it in the web interface, but possible in the blocks.
19:10 asciilifeform aalso mircea_popescu looks like your node wedged in ... july ?! 2016
19:10 asciilifeform it sat there wedged ever since ?!
19:10 mircea_popescu well, 40k blocks yes ?
19:10 mircea_popescu so it did.
19:11 asciilifeform fwiw the heathens seem to have this same 419373 , https://blockchain.info/block-index/1242663
19:11 mircea_popescu indeed.
19:11 mircea_popescu it's not exactly a common condition, this ; which is both why i said something and why it wasn't noticed. simply no test for ~this~ never seen before nonsense
19:11 mircea_popescu ie the node appeared fine.
19:12 asciilifeform so apparently not a reorg problem
19:12 asciilifeform at all
19:12 mircea_popescu why not ?
19:12 asciilifeform because the last block in mircea_popescu's blk0036 is a main-chain block
19:12 asciilifeform it was never orphaned, and never had to get reorged out
19:12 mircea_popescu ah in that sense. yes.
19:13 mircea_popescu anyway, i plan to restart it sometime tomorrow, if anyone wants further datas it's a fine time to say.
19:13 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: anything peculiar re that box, say, disk full ?
19:13 asciilifeform dying raid ?
19:13 mircea_popescu nope.
19:13 mircea_popescu machine is fine.
19:13 ben_vulpes previous block hash claims to be 0000000000000000036D2AFA6270C3A58C9A2093C706F0EACA4018E54BF2879C
19:13 asciilifeform ever reset dirtily ? corrupt tx index ?
19:13 mircea_popescu (all those and many others would have popped it for review you realise)
19:14 mircea_popescu nope. it's been working continuously and undisturbed for as long again at least.
19:15 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 1 more thing
19:15 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: can you get the log inclusive of the last ACCEPT (case-sensitive) and all lines after ?
19:15 asciilifeform and post (gzip, probably)
19:17 asciilifeform or, say, 100,000 ln. of it, ought to suffice.
19:19 mircea_popescu i guess i'm just going to publish the log altogehter ?
19:20 asciilifeform wouldn't hurt.
19:20 mircea_popescu let's do that then
19:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if not mega-seekrit, did this node peer with well-known trb nodes (e.g., mine ) ?
19:23 mircea_popescu not really ; unless yours randomly came to it.
19:23 asciilifeform because this could be a 'pulling' problem , a 'pushing' one, or even both at once
19:24 asciilifeform or neither -- a prb-everywhere-and-not-a-drop-to-drink problem , conceivably.
19:24 mircea_popescu yes well.
19:25 asciilifeform ( i lean to the latter hypothesis , it is a thing that regularly happened - admittedly not to the extent seen in mircea_popescu's specimen -- among my nodes, and was why i could no longer put off the 'wires' thing )
19:26 mircea_popescu 9 months ?
19:26 asciilifeform i don't keep any boxes on mars, that i can only check every 9 mo
19:26 mircea_popescu "if they can do it to this guy they can do it to most any guy" is the idea here.
19:26 asciilifeform but if i did - it could, yes
19:27 mircea_popescu yes well.
19:29 asciilifeform sooo somewhere in mircea_popescu's log, there'll be a getinv for 0000000000000000036, the prev block, then for this final one, 0000000000000000038 (complain to tardoshi re the procrusted hashes, not to me..) ,
19:30 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no, i'll complain to you, because really there's no need trb logging be THIS RETARDED
19:30 mircea_popescu ill complain to mod6 also.
19:30 asciilifeform but, then , there ought to be a 0000000000000000013 getenv
19:30 mircea_popescu this seems an easy enough to fix item.
19:30 asciilifeform lolfair
19:30 ben_vulpes slow to the show, but http://mimisbrunnr.cascadianhacker.com/blocks/419373
19:30 asciilifeform *getinv
19:33 asciilifeform 00000000000000000136 rather
19:34 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes aha!
19:35 mircea_popescu loads of all that "unable to decode address" things, which is my only vague "there could be something here".
19:35 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: grep -A 10000 "received block 00000000000000000136" mp_log.txt plox ?
19:35 mircea_popescu ie, you ~could~, theoretically, write such shit into a block that it wedges nodes.
19:35 mircea_popescu asciilifeform im just zipping it and will put it up hang on
19:36 mircea_popescu 91.8 0.0 11:57.45 gzip << fancy this wonder.
19:37 shinohai Whatever the outcome of the node wedge fix is, I need to write all this down as it may be a powerful tool to fuck with enemy in the future.
19:38 mircea_popescu shinohai but it's in teh logz!!
19:39 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: you might recall that trb does not attempt to decode tx scripts (yes) when verifying block
19:39 asciilifeform (this was a major brain-melter during the prbisms thread)
19:39 mircea_popescu no argument there ; you however may in turn recall that trb is by inheritance an utterly chtonian horror of heap allocation etc.
19:39 asciilifeform the behaviour is inherited from tardoshi
19:42 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if you have not yet switched the box off -- what does getinfo return ?
19:42 asciilifeform ( if at any point an exception was shat , it'll be cached there )
19:42 mircea_popescu i did turn off the node to be able to push out meaningful bdb item think about it.
19:42 asciilifeform aite.
19:42 mircea_popescu but before that it returned the plainest normalcy, 37 connected nodes etc.
19:43 mircea_popescu no exception.
19:43 mircea_popescu ie empty error string.
19:43 asciilifeform ok;
19:44 asciilifeform remains -- to see the log (was it ever offered 00000000000000000136 in an inv vector ? and, did it ever request it from anybody ; and lastly, did it ever receive . )
19:44 mircea_popescu all of these'd have also made me notice it.
19:44 mircea_popescu asciilifeform part of the problem is that "00000000000000000136" is not much of a unique id in thefirst place.
19:44 mircea_popescu how much would you trust eleven bits ?
19:45 asciilifeform it sure as fuck isn't . which is why it has to be massaged out from the log segment known to contain it.
19:45 asciilifeform because yes, shit log.
19:45 asciilifeform really all of the procrustean truncations gotta go.
19:52 asciilifeform btw, for review,
19:52 asciilifeform http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1364 and http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1735 are the only times a trb node asks for blocks explicitly from peer
19:53 asciilifeform at all other times, it passively sits with open mouth, waiting for blox to fall from the heavens
19:53 asciilifeform (and grunting through the mempool)
19:53 mircea_popescu yeah. and since you mention it, trb-i definitely needs a clarified push-or-pull model because the current system is the soul of unconsidered adhocery
19:53 mod6 <+mircea_popescu> ill complain to mod6 also. << im about 18 hours behind on the log, will catch up and will revisit tomorrow.
19:54 mircea_popescu don't worry, it's not an emergency, just general point mod6
19:54 mod6 ok, np.. thanks for pointing it out. :]
19:55 asciilifeform so mircea_popescu , as you can probably tell, if node misses the window when $block was being actively thrown at it, then it has only these two knobs for attempting to get it
19:55 asciilifeform one is to ask bringers of orphan blocks for our currentheight+1.
19:56 asciilifeform the other is the idiocy where it asks, but only ~the first node it talked to when booting~ !
19:56 mircea_popescu yes ; and that one should have activated EVERY TIME.
19:56 asciilifeform astonishing that this crud ever worked at all !
19:56 mircea_popescu of course... wait wait.
19:57 mircea_popescu did the orphanage burner ruin trb 's chances of unwedging in this situation ?
19:57 asciilifeform aaaaaha. not a typo.
19:57 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: not necessarily, orphanage may or may not have unwedged it, as it discards old orphans when new appear.
19:58 mircea_popescu but in principle whenever given an orphan, old satoshi node would have asked for its height +1
19:58 mircea_popescu is this no longer happening in trb ?
19:58 asciilifeform it still happens, see the quoted src
19:58 asciilifeform http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1358 << current mechanism.
19:58 mircea_popescu yeah. then i can't conceive. it did complain thousands of times of orphans, which implicitly resulted in block being sought.
19:59 asciilifeform and every time, it was refused.
19:59 asciilifeform likely, by a prb.
19:59 mircea_popescu what's this refusal supposed to be ?
19:59 asciilifeform trb's response to an orphan is 'tell me mybestheight+1th block DAMNIT'
19:59 mircea_popescu yes
19:59 asciilifeform let's see if anyone answered . gotta see the log.
20:00 mircea_popescu aite, ima go examine beauty in the flesh. will push the thing to web when it's done.
20:00 asciilifeform laters then
20:04 asciilifeform btw mircea_popescu et al , is it obvious how http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1364 works ? or do i need to explain
20:05 asciilifeform (it's effectively recursive. when bastard comes in, we ask for its predecessor. which, if it is also a bastard to us, triggers same process. ad infinitum, until we get the thing we actually want, which is our next block )
20:06 asciilifeform it is also why i did not give bastardry a ban score !
20:07 asciilifeform this routine is inherited from tardoshi btw, i did not invent it.
20:09 asciilifeform btw i am now nearly certain re what happened to mircea_popescu's box
20:10 asciilifeform dollars to doughnuts, it lost connectivity for a week or two. at which point the necessary bastardry-recursion depth became longer than any of his node's peer's typical uptime.
20:10 asciilifeform ( and with each new block mined, this depth is 1 deeper ! )
20:11 asciilifeform note that ProcessBlock() only ever asks ~the bastard-supplying peer~ for the bastard's prevblock.
20:11 asciilifeform it never asks anybody else !
20:11 trinque how is being behind distinguished from a new node coming up?
20:12 asciilifeform trinque: like this, http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1735
20:12 asciilifeform tardoshi had a motherfucking SPECIAL CASE for 'i'm a new node'
20:12 trinque ahaha
20:12 asciilifeform and, notice, it asks first-chance-strangerfuck for the blocks-from-genesis.
20:12 trinque of course it does
20:14 asciilifeform this is also why mircea_popescu rebooting the node, will almost guarantee to bring it to life
20:14 asciilifeform : the idiot specialcase -- will trigger.
20:14 asciilifeform (whether succeeds will depend 100% on who the thing ends up connecting to on boot )
20:15 asciilifeform tardoshi's block fetching mechanism is profoundly, inexperessibly retarded, and cannot be substantially changed without breaking protocol
20:17 asciilifeform though mircea_popescu's wedge is preventable, what trb really ought to do is start sending http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1735 to all peers, starting with any 'wires' if present, whenever it goes for >1hr without a new block
20:22 asciilifeform i'll add that 'week' is merely a guess, from my arse; perhaps a couple of hours is enough, under the right circumstances ( idiot peers + sufficiently many blocks made in interval )
20:24 asciilifeform at this point i will recommend that -- when everyone has satisfied himself that 'wires' work -- every trb node oughta be wired to at least 1 known trb node
20:24 asciilifeform and yeah this ought not to be necessary. but i suspect that it -- is.
20:24 asciilifeform the network has rotten to the point, where it probably is.
20:34 asciilifeform and i'll repeat, tardoshi offered NO way to request blocks BY HEIGHT !!
20:34 asciilifeform none!
20:35 asciilifeform to request a block from a peer, you have to somehow find out its header hash
20:38 asciilifeform which you are expected to do (because he was dropped as a child) using either a bastard's header, recursively as discussed earlier, or 'getheaders'
20:38 asciilifeform clinch is : getheaders ALSO WANTS A HASH as starting point ! ALSO won't work by height !!
20:38 asciilifeform whipping to death, and throwing to dogs, is all things considered a merciful reward for someone who designs a system like this.
20:40 mircea_popescu asciilifeform http://qntra.net/debug.wow.txt.gz
20:40 mircea_popescu hash presently.
20:42 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: meanwhile i solved it with anal telekinesis !!111
20:42 mircea_popescu i didn't know males could do that.
20:44 mircea_popescu 2b24b2fcfb4ff6cdf7fa845d613d340baec866f285f9a24fb5bd2c8ffd740802ebfd51999af92c68ec117e45a115f85ac0c95bae612a99b7a2f095e66d5f6b02
20:46 asciilifeform (82.7 MB/s) - “debug.wow.txt.gz” saved << aaah
20:47 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no it's clear how it should work ; whether it ends up working that way is open, but hey.
20:47 asciilifeform lessee if mircea_popescu's l0g is consistent with above
20:47 mircea_popescu box lost connectivity for A WEEK ? my dear alf.
20:47 asciilifeform readwholethingplox
20:48 asciilifeform checksum pass btw.
20:49 mircea_popescu i do not believe node lost connectivity for as long as five total minutes, let alone straight minutes ; this however is a very iffy point to prove because hey, ~connectivity~.
20:49 asciilifeform 'lost connectivity' can mean blackhole, for this purpose.
20:49 mircea_popescu very technically ; i don't think it too likely.
20:51 * asciilifeform waits for gunzip
20:52 mircea_popescu anyway, the problem with "request block by height" is that the block height is an ambiguous identifier of actual blocks.
20:52 mircea_popescu this is hwat a reorg does.
20:52 asciilifeform this is entirely tru
20:52 asciilifeform i did not say that it ought to request by height at all times.
20:52 mircea_popescu now, asking for "friend's notion of five a clock" is not entirely without merit
20:52 asciilifeform but ought to be able to ~sometimes~
20:52 mircea_popescu but yes.
20:53 asciilifeform (if you ~only~ requested by height, anyone could put you on 1way voyage to pluto and you'll stay there.)
21:02 mircea_popescu now then ; the reason i even looked at this node is that i was going through a list of potential candidates to put in the new asciilifeform ssh thing.
21:02 mircea_popescu if you're around tomorrow mebbe we do that ?
21:03 mircea_popescu and otherwise, i bid all a very good thight
21:03 mircea_popescu i mean night.
21:03 asciilifeform i'll be around for most of tomorrow yea
21:03 asciilifeform also the recipe is pretty simple. gpg over the pubkey and you're golden.

22:23 asciilifeform phf: he uploaded entire blk0036 in the end, see l0gz
22:28 phf i'm mostly reacting to "things missing" bit. i otherwise would like to remain ignorant of going ons in the world, until i'm forced into interracting with it again in a few days

22:28 phf ^
22:29 asciilifeform phf: nothing is missing, you can go back to meditation cave if you like
22:30 asciilifeform phf: most of today is re mircea_popescu showed a trb node that's been wedged, in a peculiar way, since july. but the l0g will still be there later.
22:39 * phf nods
22:39 phf that's what i figured
22:40 phf also i can't really go back to the cave. it's the time to buy gifts, and pack shit up.
22:42 asciilifeform aaa india

22:45 asciilifeform бНОПНЯ ВХРЮК
22:46 phf what i'm trying to say is "hindi rusi bhai bhai" :p
22:49 phf in related lulz i got a lot of "soviet union was a good thing" from conversations with indians. a lot of older indians seem to hate americans and miss the good old "bhai bhai" days
22:52 asciilifeform i have nfi in what shithole today anyone likes the americans.
22:58 ben_vulpes what is this bhai bhai?
~ 18 minutes ~
23:17 phf it means indians and russians are brothers, and is a slogan for soviet/indian friendship from about 50s to 80s
23:17 phf kruschev said it in bangalore during some '55 visit
23:17 phf bhai is basically hindi for brother, which is bhratri (bratr) in sanskrit, which is same word as russian "brat", english brother, etc.
23:17 phf back then su was pumping resources into india, but according to su economic strategy that mostly resulted in factories and hospitals. now americans are pumping resources, but that mostly results in moar mcdonalds. so naturally men with long memories are testy
23:24 ben_vulpes interesting etymology
