http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-25#1854219 -> tiny new pilot test seems to suggest it's not as bad as that: all 100 packets of a batch (sent in burst mode, no delays) made it, with pseudo-randomly chosen sizes between 6 and 2048; predictably though, order was messed up at times |

| 07:13 |
diana_coman |
following from the above: currently order and order-mismatches *can* be calculated at data analysis time based on the 2 logs; alternatively, I could add another 2 octets to the tester's own header to store an order number so receiver can also report directly any order-mismatch - not sure if that's worth it though, any thoughts on it? |
| |
↖ |
| 07:14 |
diana_coman |
ftr tester sends as above payloads between 6 and 2048 rather than 0 and 2048 because the first 6 octets are the header part (things like size sent and time when sent) |
| 07:20 |
diana_coman |
for completeness, the logs from the new pilot test: sender log is http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/SdU8P/?raw=true and corresponding receiver log is http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/OXUWa/?raw=true |
| 07:22 |
diana_coman |
the last column in the receiver log is now a count of payload octets that are different from what is expected - if any such octets are observed, the receiver will log now their actual position + value in a different log file; so far I haven't seen any error of this type |
| 07:23 |
diana_coman |
the pilot test is UK -> UY (same as yesterday's) |

| 08:30 |
diana_coman |
uhm, correction re above since I messed up the pilot test earlier (sender sent 100 as shown, but receiver waited for only 50 and then turned off so not much use); updated pilot test with receiver properly looping forever and sender sending 100 packets: 81 of those made it; sender log: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/zs4p5/?raw=true ; receiver log: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/4qiPb/?raw=true |

| 08:36 |

I can certainly run such a test too if we want to check that specific situation; now that I got ~everything in place, knobs can be easily turned for sure |
| 08:37 |

i strongly suspect that heavy (i.e. always-fragged) packets are not ultimately a bw win |

hi mod6 ! |
| 10:27 |
diana_coman |
asciilifeform, ftr, just ran a batch 100 packets from UY to UK and... 19 made it! oh boy |
| 10:31 |
mod6 |
81 just vanished? |
| 10:32 |
diana_coman |
but it does seem to be just too much for local setup/saturating basically |
| 10:33 |
diana_coman |
mod6, yes! onth a batch of 20 packets only rather than 100 made it fully |
| 10:34 |
diana_coman |
even 41/50 |
| 10:36 |
mod6 |
the missing ones didn't hit the interface either? i.e. they were lost in transit, not once they hit your interface? |
| 10:40 |
diana_coman |
mod6, as far as I can tell they got lost in transit but I don't know *how close* to the machine itself (this UK machine is behind a router, I've set up port forwarding for it); basically atm the UK->UY vs UY->UK is pretty much client->server vs server-> client communication |
| 10:41 |
mod6 |
Ah. running tcpdump at all to log the traffic? |
| 10:42 |
diana_coman |
I had tcpdump sniffing at same time and it reported same 19, not more |
| 10:42 |
mod6 |
huh, weird. |
| 10:43 |
mod6 |
any chance that the data got consolidated into less packets? |
| 10:44 |
diana_coman |
tbh if anything I start suspecting at most the router |
| 10:45 |
diana_coman |
I wanted to run this because it mimics much closer eulora client<->server communications but otherwise might set up different end nodes |

mod6 |
*nod* |
| 10:52 |
mod6 |
overall, sounds like you're making decent progress tho |
| 10:54 |
diana_coman |
from the previous UK->UY run, here's the latest version of logs (new: counter so that order of packages can be followed more easily): sender log http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/zktb9/?raw=true receiver log http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/2YPqs/?raw=true |
| 10:55 |
asciilifeform |
btw i'd like to share an old asciilifeform algo; not sure if directly applicable to diana_coman's proggy, but may come in handy: for synchronous packetron. to determine when to resend a packet, you wait time T; T is initially a pessimistic value, e.g. 800 msec; but once you start getting responses, you set it at all times to the ~minimal~ response delay observed thus far. and if reply wait exceeds T, you resend & restart the clock. |
| 10:56 |
diana_coman |
mod6, certainly; I'll wait pretty much for any feedback on it all and otherwise it's quite ready to run for a week or more (receiver always on, sender as some hourly cron taks) |
| 10:56 |
diana_coman |
task, lol |
| 10:56 |
asciilifeform |
( naturally this is only applicable to synchronous, i.e. A->B, B->A, A->B, .... , comms ) |
| 10:56 |
diana_coman |
asciilifeform, that sounds very useful for eulora clients basically |
| 10:57 |

| 11:01 |
asciilifeform |
sure |
| 11:03 |
asciilifeform |
diana_coman: afaik, the remaining fundamental variants are 1) single-sized volleys, for various sizes 2) this, and the earlier variant, at max possible saturation |
| 11:04 |
asciilifeform |
1 will more clearly show effect of frag, imho |
| 11:04 |
asciilifeform |
( right now you get away with occasional frag, but possibly strictly because preceded/followed by unfragged, etc ) |
| 11:05 |
diana_coman |
aha; meanwhile playing here with the dubious UY->UK direction and I'd say it's pretty clear that bursts of more than 50 packets or so increase packet loss visibly; I suppose this makes for a nice thing to look at specifically once I get one week of data or so |

k, will add delay 1 sec between packets at sender, not a problem |
| 12:51 |
diana_coman |
btw, there is no "idle", no; sender sends and finishes, what idle? it'll get started again by a cron task |
| 12:51 |

receiver is always on, but there's not much point in sender being always on |

ah, yes |
| 12:56 |

to recap so I don't miss anything: no counter sent in header for packets; packets will have sizes between 6 (header length so minimum) and 2048; sender will have a 1second delay between each new package sent |

"It was a capital lecture so far as this, that the tutor who gave it had got up his subject completely. He knew the whole history of the Articles, how they grew into their present shape, with what fortunes, what had been added, and when, and what omitted. With this, of course, was joined an explanation of the text, as deduced, as far as could be, from the historical account thus given. Not only the British, but the foreign Re |

It did not produce this effect on Reding. Whether he had expected too much, or whatever was the cause, so it was that he did but feel more vividly the sentiment of the old father in the comedy, after consulting the lawyers, "Incertior sum multo quam ante."

This historical fact did but clench the difficulty, or rather impossibility |

amazon whatever the fuck to your house, and either ferry it over in luggage or else mail it over in old newspapers. what you're trying to do is the mail equivalent of http://cascadianhacker.com/classically-inept-couriering |

the old newspapers is worth a shot. and if this fails, it'll have to run like antarctic station, i.e. supply rocket quarterly-semiquarterly, and priced in. |

alternatively, source it locally ; or get a company off the ground already, get it a customs agent and process the crates there. |

| 17:21 |

i understood the complaint as "apparently someone somewhere is under the impression BingoBoingo can't get 3490874389 crates shipped because there's a law about local morons being limited to 2" |
| 17:31 |

which, whatever, if they don't yield fucking sue them |
| 17:31 |

you've paid a lot of money to figure out "no items new in box", why not use it. |

<mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo you ever talked to the chinos ? i mean specifically the supermarket folks. they routinely blocade run, might be able to get you some shit ? << I'm trying to find restaurant Chinese here. The only Chinese Chinese I reliably come across are new chinese wearing suits and renting WTC to buy cows. |

mircea_popescu: prev 3 datapoints suggested 'can mail with 30% bakshish' ; but apparently yes, will have to return to orig hypothesis. |

cows ?! |

mircea_popescu: China wants to eat beef |
| 17:45 |
BingoBoingo |
Uruguay sells beef |
| 17:45 |
mircea_popescu |
ah ah |
| 17:45 |
mircea_popescu |
well, so talk to them |
| 17:45 |
mircea_popescu |
talk to people ; statistically it's always better to than not to. |
| 17:45 |
mircea_popescu |
it never yet happened that "my decision to not talk to this stranger paid off". seems counterintuitive, is nevertheless the case. |
| 17:46 |
BingoBoingo |
Will talk to them when they smoke circle outside the towers. |
| 17:46 |
mircea_popescu |
you know ? |
| 17:47 |
BingoBoingo |
There's a group that regularly smoke circles in front of the datacenter tower, will get on it. |
| 17:47 |
mircea_popescu |
you ever appeared pro se before a court before ? |
| 17:48 |
BingoBoingo |
I have indeed |
| 17:48 |
BingoBoingo |
Civil and criminal |
| 17:48 |
BingoBoingo |
Civil went better than criminal did |
| 17:49 |
mircea_popescu |
alrighty then. |
| 17:49 |
mircea_popescu |
moreover, uruguay is if memory serves civil rather than common law. even easier to do. |
| 17:50 |
BingoBoingo |
I'll look for a copy of the code at the Feria Sunday |
| 17:51 |
BingoBoingo |
They have one, one person wrote it, as legal writings go it can't be an awful read |
| 17:54 |
mircea_popescu |
good for spanish in any case, and to impress the peruanas. |
| 17:55 |
BingoBoingo |
Anyways, in the reading of the now it looks like it could be a small wank where I may have to register the business of myself as an importer of products packaged in non-reusable packaging |
| 17:55 |
mircea_popescu |
"for a date wed, you can come watch me in court" |
| 17:55 |

mircea_popescu used to do this in his teens, to very moistening effect indeed. |
| 17:56 |
BingoBoingo |
My past civil experiences could have had that effect. The traffic court case over a 75 USD speeding ticket prolly not. |
| 17:58 |
BingoBoingo |
But yes this is a civil law system here, and I don't see why anyone who went to a facultad de derecho ought to have any chance if I do case prep. |
| 17:58 |
mircea_popescu |
well, also a matter of principles involved. "these schmucks stole my shit, what matters it was only $300" sounds a lot better than "i am so fucking cheap, ima try and beg mom to let me off hook for $75 in damages". |
| 18:01 |
BingoBoingo |
The principal in the traffic case was Pocahontas, Illinois (and the rest of Bond County) can be arsed to get the radars they buy used calibrated. |
| 18:01 |
BingoBoingo |
Or used them according to the manufacterer's instructions |
| 18:03 |
mircea_popescu |
pretty common, really. |
| 18:05 |
BingoBoingo |
But hamplanet judge wrote it off as "local standards" and who was I to take it to apellate court when Uruguay was calling |
| 18:08 |
BingoBoingo |
Anyways, reading more on DINAMA and Aduanas. At this moment it seems registering as an importer of packaged products and coming up with a waste management plan might do the trick: En el alcance del decreto 260/007 se establece que toda empresa importadora o propietaria de marca que pone en el mercado productos envasados, deben encontrarse inscriptos en el registro que llevala DINAMA y contar o adherir a un plan de gestión de residuos |
| 18:08 |
BingoBoingo |
de envases. |
| 18:12 |
BingoBoingo |
And... they specify "artículos eléctricos y artículos electrónicos"; Looks like I am getting a new piece of paper to hang on the wall. |
| 18:13 |
mircea_popescu |
"local standards" lmao. local physics, too, why not. "sir, do you know how fast you were going ?" "52mph" "nope, 7615!" "what ?! look my dear man, it says so right here" "ah, that may be how your car sees it... but here... WE HAVE LOCAL STANDARDS" |
| 18:14 |
mircea_popescu |
BingoBoingo no fucking way, that's if you sell coca cola. |
| 18:14 |
BingoBoingo |
Or apparently if you sell USB drives in their shells |

( i'm not even opposed, there's a rubbish bin right at the post office ) |

Reused as arts and crafts materials could work as well. These folks love their cardboard |
| 18:16 |
mircea_popescu |
BingoBoingo but you don't sell anything. you're going to eat them |
| 18:20 |
BingoBoingo |
I eat them, customs folk can't imagine that, hippos dance, the lobos marinos sing, and at some point PizarroISP the musical will resound through the Gossipd equivalent of torrents |

i'm still scratching head, re how the contents of all those derp racks got there. diplobags ?! |
| 18:22 |

there were motherfucking pentium1's in there. |
| 18:22 |
BingoBoingo |
Plenty more reading to do before the relevant targets get into their offices tomorrow |
| 18:22 |

( as well as ciscolade and the usual crapola, by the megatonne ) |
| 18:26 |
BingoBoingo |
Diplobags isn't out of the question. This place is littered with embassies. |
| 18:28 |
BingoBoingo |
Not much to do but meet them at their level, put the chains on, and drag them with their words |
| 18:41 |
BingoBoingo |
Brb. pizza and reading and more reading |
