14:35 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if power supply issues can be ruled out entirely - it is entirely conceivable that zapping the drives was the actual goal of the enemy. why? perhaps to lead to new ones being bought from a diddled supply chain.
14:36 benkay (and after all, there’s nothing wrong with changing keys once a year anyway) // what, mpex gets to rotate keys, but nobody else gets to rotate the keys they use on mpex?

14:37 mircea_popescu benkay no, i just had a moment of drool at the thought someone somewhere is making me a dollie :D
14:37 benkay no no, let me charge you, for it.
14:37 pankkake I don't know what you are doing with the raids, but scrubing the raid and checking smart data regularly could probably reduce those kind of occurences
14:38 mircea_popescu pankkake it's checked daily.
14:38 mircea_popescu it most recently passed this morning.
14:38 pankkake weird
14:38 mircea_popescu no ?!
14:39 pankkake my regular checks allowed me to replace drives before they fail, so just saying
14:39 thestringpuller is mpex.co still down?
14:39 mircea_popescu thestringpuller yes
14:39 jurov pankkake: regardless of checks, ever had half of the drives fail aat once?
14:40 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if you have not previously installed cameras on the machine cabinet, now might be a good time.
14:40 pankkake and WD was nice enough to exchange my last drive even though my evidence was thin
14:40 mircea_popescu asciilifeform and some cameras on the cameras box ?
14:40 thestringpuller is trading down?
14:40 pankkake jurov: anything's possible, I came close once but no
14:40 mircea_popescu thestringpuller look a little up just added a report.
14:41 pankkake the thing is, "once" is actually a long time, the time you can change the drive and rebuild
14:41 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: can't imagine it would cost much to have 'biorobots' monitor the cams in shifts.
14:41 mircea_popescu pankkake this shit's supposed to take hotswapping for that matter.
14:41 mircea_popescu asciilifeform if it won't cost much, then it won't cost much to have them... not monitor the cameras, for five minutes.
14:41 pankkake I mean the time to obtain a hard drive if you don't have a spare (and the time to rebuild)
14:41 asciilifeform lol
14:42 mircea_popescu pankkake there were two spares ready to go, and the rebuild is seamless, no downtime.
14:42 mircea_popescu (this actually happened a number of times, most recently about 3 days ago. i even said so, at the time)
14:43 pankkake while you're rebuilding, you are in a vulnerable state. hence the "fail half at once" has a higher chance to occur than you would think
14:43 mircea_popescu it took half an hour and was complete long before yesterday.

16:07 mircea_popescu basically twitter/reddit/etc are the most successful of these "scientific journals" things/.
16:07 pankkake they are a good example of "rent-seeking"
16:09 pankkake as a scientist you have to be published by those things. and be cited
16:09 pankkake no surprise some are trying to game the system
16:09 * HyperChetty bets its more than some
16:09 mircea_popescu waiting for the 8,5 million articles retraction by 1-2k "social sciences" publications due to a 50k strong peer fraud ring.

16:27 mircea_popescu no homo.
16:28 mircea_popescu mike_c i think the most peer review that's happened to date was me slapping around benkay's employees.
16:28 mike_c if we wanted such a process, which afaik nobody does.
16:28 mike_c i peer review people that use too many footnotes.
16:28 mircea_popescu there's been some unpeer review too, through which i ended up simpleminded psychotic and so, but...
16:29 mike_c you do seem to get into it with benkay's staff. doesn't xmj work for him?
16:29 mircea_popescu actually i suppose every time someone discusses someone else's blogpost here that's peer review
16:29 mircea_popescu i think he lives in hipstertown, 1 hip street.

17:04 asciilifeform yes, i'm aware it is old news
17:05 mircea_popescu no i mean, the hole being cpanel
17:05 asciilifeform aah
17:08 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'Customers can change their keys as often as they wish. The more responsible actually do' << seriously, people eat the 30 btc cost ?
17:08 mircea_popescu well, 20 really.
17:08 asciilifeform aha refer bonus
17:08 mircea_popescu i mean i guess you could technically not use old acct as a ref but why would you.
17:08 mircea_popescu and why the hell wouldn't they ?!
17:09 mircea_popescu you have any idea what a key refresh costs a serious entreprise ?
17:09 mircea_popescu 20 btc to cover for mpex fee isn't even on the map.
17:12 asciilifeform what a key refresh costs a serious entreprise << of course, this is well known. and also is one reason why 'serious enterprises' tend to get pwned regularly.
17:12 mircea_popescu the unserious serious ones, anyway.
17:12 asciilifeform lol
17:13 mircea_popescu for that matter, what's that 20btc buy you, alternatively ? 1/85th of a second of superbowl commercial ?
17:13 mircea_popescu an oil change on the corp jet ?
17:13 asciilifeform a 20-reel pick-n-placer.
17:14 mircea_popescu no. not it does not.
17:14 asciilifeform well, a chicom one
17:14 mircea_popescu that's what a 20 reel pick-n-placer costs stan's mom&pop picknplace emporioum
17:14 mircea_popescu a corp trying to get one has prolly spend north of 10k just deciding whether it should be painted green or red.
17:15 * asciilifeform had the good fortune to oversee more or less this process, knows this
17:15 mircea_popescu well then whence all the suspension of knowledge lol.
17:15 asciilifeform somehow i can't picture the folks buying 500 usd robot legs sitting on mpex
17:15 asciilifeform still imagine it's full of humans
17:16 mircea_popescu is this in the "i can't believe i know any dragons" category ?
17:17 asciilifeform more like 'yeah he keeps a dragon in there, but most of what can be heard going in and out is motorcycles'
17:18 asciilifeform not really disputing the dragon, it can be smelled.

17:18 asciilifeform just that it must be a bit of a grind for the bikers

18:21 mircea_popescu anyone wanna recommend a tumblr equivalent ?
18:21 mircea_popescu that site's too retarded
18:22 asciilifeform afaik it's the only turd of its kind.
18:22 asciilifeform uniquely demented
18:22 * asciilifeform shows to pet, who reads it habitually, she nods
18:23 mircea_popescu wait tumblr is the pic posting service.
18:23 asciilifeform nope
18:23 asciilifeform it's an uncommonly broken blogging service
18:23 asciilifeform doesn't support comments, in the usual sense. instead, when you 'comment', it... reposts the turd on your own 'tumblr'
18:26 mircea_popescu i just mean, one pic at a time picblogging stuff
18:27 asciilifeform people actually post text there.
18:28 * asciilifeform lends keyboard to pet to explain...
18:28 asciilifeform it's a super weird blogging service
18:28 asciilifeform i have seen the porn pics, but that's not all or even most of the site
18:29 mircea_popescu the way tumblr works is that a post = 1 pic.
18:29 mircea_popescu it's what i want.
18:29 asciilifeform well okay. but that's not what tumblr is
18:29 asciilifeform post = 1 through 10 pics, or a text post, or a video, or several different formats of text
18:30 asciilifeform or 'reblogging' any of the above which is actually most common
18:30 asciilifeform anyway. *steps away from keyboard now cause this isn't relevant*
18:30 * asciilifeform removes pet from console, plants back on throne
18:30 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you know you probably get the girl her own handle.
18:31 mircea_popescu what is this medieval patriarchy
18:31 asciilifeform pet: 'i dont wanna'
18:31 mircea_popescu what is this feminist postmodernism!
