09:49 asciilifeform diana_coman: interesting ; any idea re contents ?

09:50 asciilifeform and hey BingoBoingo , what's 161.0.121.254 ?
09:50 diana_coman anyways, at a quick look, no errors on either direction between the 2 concerned nodes, ~99.80% made it to the other side ; will get to do a proper write-up with more details by the end of this week
09:51 diana_coman asciilifeform, I can tell at least some of them, yes, because they got reported as "errors" because not what expected
09:51 diana_coman but yes, I think it's just someone around here playing with the tester?
09:51 asciilifeform diana_coman: my notes dun feature a -254...
09:51 diana_coman o.O
09:51 asciilifeform i'm pretty curious nao

09:54 asciilifeform http://161.0.121.254/htdocs/login/login.lsp << apparently
09:55 diana_coman uhm, but somehow packages were received with the switch as source ?? and actually it IS extra packages as it were, since adding them does result in more than were sent...
09:56 asciilifeform diana_coman: i expect it's pissing broadcast crapola ( dhcp ? BingoBoingo ? ) to the lan
09:56 diana_coman ahhh, that can be, dhcp, ugh
09:56 asciilifeform well this dun solve the puzzle
09:57 asciilifeform typical broadcast crapola wouldn't be addressed to port 7000 or what was it diana_coman picked
09:57 diana_coman no, but at least gives some idea more than I had on this, lol

11:40 mircea_popescu the point of instruct and inform is that it sticks, and it becomes systematic and universal. we're not africans, whereby "oh, the shamans does the electricity thing, we're all safe now from having to do".
11:40 mircea_popescu we're europeans, "he did that ? i wonder if i could do it too... check it out i can... guess what, I AM DOING IT FROM NOW ON". and so following.

12:53 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Investigating
12:54 diana_coman it certainly does look like some chopped off part of one of the messages sent around
12:56 mircea_popescu some kind of broken echoing ?
12:56 diana_coman suspected old frag perhaps? no idea
12:57 diana_coman onth it's hard to *really* tell if it is indeed chopped off part or just other garbage, hmm
12:57 diana_coman that time sent is too small really
12:58 diana_coman but then who/wtf sends udp on port 7000 ? and meanwhile I left tcpdump sniffing and ...nothing so far
13:03 asciilifeform diana_coman: i suspect it's a frag, but hard to be certain until one's captured 'alive'
13:03 asciilifeform it is worth noting that -- afaik -- nobody is actually using 'heavy' udp for anyffing
↖
13:03 asciilifeform the only commonplace heathen uses i'm aware of , use tiny packets (e.g. dns, iirc, 512)
13:04 asciilifeform so there could be all sortsa strange in various ip stacks, and i would not know of it

13:14 asciilifeform diana_coman: i meant, would like to see hexdump of the packet itself
13:16 diana_coman asciilifeform, well, it IS all of it in there although you'd need to reconstitute it basically: look there, *all* the payload was different, so all of it IS reported; first bytes are reported anyway (sizesent and timesent)
13:17 diana_coman anyways, I'll let you know if tcpdump sniffs any/ can tell which one it is, but this paste there is the bird in hand atm

15:19 BingoBoingo Event was 128th birthday of Peñarol futbol club
15:21 BingoBoingo Yes, they try to sneak "supergas" cylinders into the stadium, but on the other hand the locals care intensely about little else. Unless they are fans of Club Nacional de Futbol in which case they are a bunch of little pussies.
15:21 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: supergas ?
15:22 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: The cylinders look like lp tanks from back home. I suspect it is lp, but the locals only ever call it supergas.
15:23 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: and they do what, light'em and throw'em ?
15:23 BingoBoingo Yes

15:47 BingoBoingo Not unimaginable
15:49 BingoBoingo The pro-marihuana thing likely for similar reasons. Keeps them comfortable while bored and saps their energy so they don't burn Mujica for making them all poorer.

15:50 asciilifeform afaik it was just short of perfect for this spec.

19:26 mod6 http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857626 << I think this is along the lines of what I had in mind, yeah.
19:26 a111 Logged on 2018-10-03 15:39 mircea_popescu: if not, why not "hello x, I am y, i represent tbf, our position is, i can be reached through k j p q in the future" ?
19:26 mircea_popescu mod6 ideally the situation is that they send something to ask, "hey, what about this"
19:27 mircea_popescu in point of fact, all ideology and blather aside, there simply does not exist anyone with any expertise BESIDES us.
19:27 mod6 I've just had 9000 lbs of shit in a 5 lbs bag lately. If someone wants to help me, or write something in conjunction with me, that'd be really great.
19:27 mircea_popescu if they don't want an actual pov, and would rather publish content free fluff indefinitely, that is their problem
19:28 asciilifeform mod6: interestingly, i'm also drowning in record-breaking liquishit in the saeculum
19:28 mod6 Sure. I just wanted to ensure that I knew what the facts were, should I say anything, and were to start getting questions about it.
19:28 mircea_popescu changes ~nothing, there's publications out there that print bs about how magical doohickeys reduce gasoline usage by cars and shaman x cured cancer and gingivitis.
19:28 mircea_popescu there's also publications what'd try and get hold of an acvtual engineer, or doctor, or w/e relevant professional.
19:28 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: they're paid for it, neh
19:28 asciilifeform the doohickeys, that is
19:28 mircea_popescu on the topic of bitcoin, 100% of relevant professionals is tmsr. like it or not.
19:29 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: from the pov of $heathen derp rag, it's gavin
19:29 mircea_popescu asciilifeform entirely their choice to make, copyrwriting or journalism. i dun care. but the choice must be made, by them, and as such.
19:29 asciilifeform and if not gavin, then hearn
19:29 mircea_popescu this is nobody's pov.
19:29 asciilifeform really ? cuz erry time i see the heathen liquishit, it's still ~same pieces of shit being quoted
19:29 mircea_popescu because you're all lazy and psychotic, and would rather talk my ear off than go ask a girl out.
19:29 mircea_popescu now enough of that shit.
19:31 asciilifeform mod6: let's put the letters ( + any replies ) on yer www, when they go, so we dun gotta have this thread 2nd time
19:31 mod6 So just post whatever letters to the the world on mod6.net? And not the ML?
19:31 mod6 well, lol, I guess the ML is in a bit of a state lately.
19:31 asciilifeform ml too
19:32 asciilifeform was about to say, aha
19:32 mircea_popescu absolutely. then we can actuallky DISCUSS them, rather than typically non-tmsr-esque "oh, i did something sometime i don't remember what i don't remember when and i didn't follow what happened".
19:32 asciilifeform actually prolly oughta deedbot'em for good measure
19:32 mircea_popescu moreover, if these letters were already on www, the "wtf is this foundation doing" q would not have been needed last week.
19:32 asciilifeform that way the fishwrap morons can never 'you never asked!11'
19:32 mod6 Oh, that's what I think we did last time asciilifeform. deedbot.
19:32 mircea_popescu link ?
19:32 mod6 Me?
19:33 mod6 I gotta dig it up. It was from the "if you go on a fork..." thing iirc.[
19:33 mircea_popescu did a bunch of such letters end up on deedbot ?
19:33 mircea_popescu you mean 2015 ?
19:33 mod6 i'll find it, just a minute. then I gotta reivew the rest of the log, and move on to pizarro things.
19:33 mircea_popescu check it out, and it prevented the fork, and you... frogot about it ? never used it again ?
19:33 asciilifeform i dun remember any such thing, never thought to do it with bernstein et al
19:33 mod6 it may have been a while ago, ya.
19:33 mircea_popescu why not use the methods that ARE PROVEN TO WORK jaysus!
19:34 asciilifeform aaa! mircea_popescu's missile battery letter
19:34 asciilifeform yea
19:34 mircea_popescu "everyone thinks gavin is the expert", says alf, in 2018. but when in 2015 mp said "fuck gavin", gavin got fucked. everyone thinks ?
19:34 mircea_popescu gimme a fucking break.
19:35 asciilifeform i dun have an oracle re 'everyone', only the mouthpiece fishwraps, and even these i'll admit i read irregularly
19:35 mircea_popescu girls don't think what you think they think, not least of all because ~the only fucking reason~ you lie to yourself about thinking that's what girls think is so as to save your lazy ass the effort of ever talking to one.
19:37 asciilifeform mod6: mircea_popescu is right, gotta write'em, or else cannot say 'they dun know'
19:38 mircea_popescu and even that aside -- gotta write them, or otherwise vehehery tenuously can say "r foundation". because this is the sorta thing a foundation does, and this one's chartered to do -- outreach.
19:38 mod6 I'm not at all sure, in every sense of the word, of what to write about the subject. All I know was "bug found in core version 0.16.X"
19:38 mod6 And for the time being, I've got Pizarro things that need doing.
19:39 mod6 But I'd be glad to have some help, if anyone is willing to help ole mod6.
19:40 mod6 mircea_popescu: I think it was this one, as it were: http://deedbot.org/deed-363752-1.txt

19:52 mod6 Yes, mircea_popescu, any help from hanbot, yourself, asciilifeform would be awesome. I just have too many things atm.
19:53 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo they have a point, only sane way to look at the orcs is as what they are -- a primitive culture.
19:53 mircea_popescu pantsuit is not substantially different from any other inconsequential group of niggers the white man subdued to date.
19:55 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Which is why it is entered into the record. All of the secondary reporting made finding their report ON THEIR OWN PROJECT a serious bitch.
19:55 mircea_popescu ikr.
19:55 mircea_popescu nice going.
19:56 BingoBoingo Which is why unlike so many other finds it got the early qntra mega block quote treatment while so many other things get the archive.is take it or leave it
19:57 mod6 BingoBoingo: If you really want to take this on, I won't object. I had thought that we would kinda go over it together... but if you wanna work through it and see how it goes, that's fine. ben_vulpes told me that he would review the report before we publish it again this month.
19:58 mod6 brb meat

20:02 BingoBoingo My alma maters got that shit going on too
20:02 mircea_popescu the whole thing is basically social payments extension. there's a lot of idle schmuycks who expect to get government freebies under the title of "doing" this crap.
20:03 asciilifeform and they're gettin'
20:03 mircea_popescu point of fact remains -- most zeks not useful in any sense. all zeks would still like to eat. this is the conduit through which they get their foodstamps.

20:04 trinque isn't as though they get real food out of it either, just velveeta and fungal breadlike. what's to care about?
20:04 mircea_popescu so the notion that somehow it could be undone by meaning... item exists economically. all the women "liberated" from depending on a male are still just as dependent. much like all the slaves "liberated" from slave owner are just as much slaves.
20:04 mircea_popescu state steps in and surogates.
20:04 mircea_popescu what they "say"... well they ain't sayin' anything. in the great depression lotta folk "listened" in church because only way they'd get the bowl of soup.
20:05 mircea_popescu same exact thing here -- great depression, church, bowl of soup.
20:05 mircea_popescu the notion that the 1920s produced a whole lotta churchgoers is exactly of the same cloth as the notion that the 2000s produced a whole lotta academics, "discourse", "awareness" and what have you.
20:06 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Not as much getting as they used to get. Today the SIU department of Philosophy has 7 faculty members. Since I was there were five promotions to emeritus (some rather young) and at least three other departures. In the intervening decade they have ONE new face on their faculty web page.
20:07 mircea_popescu well of course, this is the problem with government-"solved" problems : the solving produces the problem, and the only available response is to dilute the "solution". homeopathy for the masses!
20:07 BingoBoingo 14 down to 7 in a decade
20:08 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this is entirely consistent with my observed picture ( the same lost souls auto-enter 'grad school' because otherwise... 'starbucks' + loans called in )
20:08 BingoBoingo Meanwhile a couple journals, a couple "centers of study", and a book series has been reduced to... a book series
20:08 mircea_popescu exactly how the other socialism played out -- by the time 1980 rolled around, there were so many "responsibles" to the worker, there was barely enough bread to go around.
20:09 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: waiwat?! they actually closed shop ?!
20:09 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yup. i would expect 2/3 to 4/5ths of all females in the age range to "more education" / "back to school" because very much http://trilema.com/2017/the-day-of-failure-trilemma/#selection-111.0-111.31 and literally nobody can be arsed to even asked them to suck cock. forget paying for it.
20:09 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes ; the whole "field" has been taking water for decade+.
20:09 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: they're at the 'only can be sold for meat' level, i suspect
20:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i meant, as result of $noose
20:10 mircea_popescu nah. as a result of, no moneys.
20:10 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: They closed shops plural. Apparently the repurposed residential buildings are there, but locked without grad students funded to guard the door.
20:11 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i found out recently that uni lib's budget is nao something like 70-80% for 'electronic subscriptions'. meanwhile, 3 of 8 floors emptied of boox, and carrying on
20:11 asciilifeform ( no prizes for guessing , subscriptions to what. )

20:16 asciilifeform i aint particularly surprised, really, errything reversemidas touches turns to shit, not merely some
20:16 mircea_popescu the logic is sound, if you think it through : "we fat sexually worthless females, in a word we the mamies, have the following grievance : back when the clever boys discovered new lands and made train engines, you priviledged them for this reason. now -- they do not. why can't we also have the payola they get ?" "uhm..." "and if you don't like this simple formulation, we can add 10mn words of rephrasings ?" "fuck"
20:17 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform because the "science" just as much on the dole, and consequently the main reason the "grievances field" (i kinda like the term tbh) even exists. << I didn't realise until today that I am one of the leading indepenent scholars in greviances studies
20:17 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: but of course. and ( at least at my local shithole ) that forest fire has only just begun -- the 'sciences' still get sumthing like 20x moar payola than the mamies
20:18 asciilifeform and this is eternal 'grievance'

20:18 asciilifeform esp since the 'mamies' are 'red-blooded amurrricans' and the 'sciences' people, largely yellow devils
20:18 mircea_popescu yes ?
20:18 mircea_popescu you see ? it is actually very sensible, in the "common sense" sense of sensibility.
20:18 asciilifeform but of course
20:20 mircea_popescu ask one of the fucktards this, sometime. "hey, mp's bmw has 270 hp under the hood. what's your tesla got ?"
20:21 mircea_popescu because the "oh, we don't DO hp anymore" is definitely coming out.
20:22 mircea_popescu let's take the 2012 tesla s lulz : 581 kW theoretical powerplant ; 100 kWh theoretical battery pack. it's like a bmw with a two ounce tank!!!
20:23 mircea_popescu can go for all of ten minutes.
20:25 mircea_popescu and yet tesla got to pretend it's worth 300 a share ; and 2bn a year spending money out of the "shareholder"'s piggy. where's the mamie with 2bn to spend, i wish to see this.
20:27 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: iirc tesla sux not because lacks 300hp ( iirc they had one with massive motor ) but because costs like 15 of mp's bmw
