whaack: diana_coman: EOD Report: I did 4h of saltmines + the trip to Santa Cruz + wrote my article. the lost 4h on saltmines and no dedicated Spanish time are b.c. of going a little over time with my article and b.c. i was awake for fewer hours today [00:49]
diana_coman: whaack: well, spill over is spill over, yes. [04:38]
whaack: diana_coman: a previous report was a major overstatement - i have ~40,000 channels from ~200 networks rather than [700,000 channels from ~500 networks][http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/21/ossasepia-logs-for-28-Dec-2019#1014202] [10:10]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-28 02:17:11 whaack: just under 700,000 channels right now. I am missing channels from roughly 100 networks. They mostly offline, but some have a few rules that are messing up my script, such as "you must be connected for 60s before grabbing the channel list" [10:10]
diana_coman: whaack: lolz, quite the difference there; how come? and are there in the end ~500 networks and you're missing ~300 or are there simply ~200 total or what? [11:14]
whaack: diana_coman: there are 597 listed networks on netsplit.de, but some of them appear dead (i can't connect via the advertised hostname/port) [11:17]
diana_coman: whaack: btw this is NOT programming ffs, it's monkeying at the keyboard, ugh. [11:18]
diana_coman: whaack: did you even spot-check those to see if it's perhaps just your bot(s)? [11:20]
diana_coman: it seems rather too large a chunk to be just bogus although it's not impossible nowadays either. [11:21]
whaack: diana_coman: i got the 500 networks-with-channels number because i ran an improper reduce on my list of networks. atm now i have nfi how i got the 700,000 channel total [11:21]
diana_coman: ahahaha [11:22]
diana_coman: well, at least it's funny. [11:22]
whaack: i think i did something like pipe it to wc and counted the words instead of the lines [11:22]
whaack: yup, that's what i did [11:24]
whaack: diana_coman: no i didn't spot check the networks where I received USOCKET errors [11:26]
diana_coman: it's just too many to leave it at that; one way or another it needs looked into; can still wait since there's a whole lot otherwise to get started on those you could connect to, but you can't say "they don't exist, netsplit.de is wrong" just on what you have so far; leave them for now in "??? category" perhaps, for laters. [11:27]
whaack: diana_coman: yes, I plan to investigate all the networks I was unable to connect to. [11:30]
diana_coman: all right; but it can wait. [11:31]
whaack: diana_coman: I think right now I need to design the pipeline that connects channel-snagger and fleetbot. So fleetbot can use what is available atm and begin logging, and then when new networks and channels appear it will start logging those as well [11:31]
diana_coman: sounds sensible, yes. [11:31]
whaack: diana_coman: For the issue regarding connecting enough bots to the bigger networks, it will take more time to build this - but I am willing to get enough ips and route through them. [11:34]
whaack: diana_coman: The work for that would be to setup ~10-20 proxy servers, and then find out how to set CL to route through different proxy servers on a per-thread basis. [11:38]
diana_coman: whaack: that can also wait though; first make at the very least a "test run" that fully works and you know what's going on in there. [11:41]
diana_coman: whaack: also re "silence", do notice that it might be due to the holidays time to some extent; it is New Year's Eve, after all. [11:42]
whaack: diana_coman: of course, two networks were in Bulgaria and it was late at night for the majority of the time i was connected [11:43]
diana_coman: whaack: does the bot log the join/parts too? [11:44]
whaack: diana_coman: no, would you like it to? [11:44]
diana_coman: I'd rather it did; ideally marked as a different category (so you can filter them out/in later, at analysis time) [11:45]
diana_coman: but it can give I suppose an idea of just how much of the whole imagined "activity" is nothing more than ...automated processes basically. [11:46]
whaack: diana_coman: okay. i will look into adding it [11:47]
diana_coman: cool. [11:48]
whaack: diana_coman: as for doing the "test run", should I connect a fleet to say ~50 or so small networks where I don't run into the max-connections-per-host problem? [11:48]
diana_coman: whaack: yes; and monitor it's run for at least several days/ a week, it's basically a first chance to get some idea of the practical issues; atm it's even unclear how much data you'll get for instance (and I expect that's anyway going to end up on some power law basically but still); test run indeed. [11:53]
diana_coman: its* ; ugh. [11:53]
diana_coman: whaack: do select your sources better, really; that "definition" of codependency is worse than useless really; the first part is microsoft-style and the 2nd part reads more like a confusion than a definition; the core of it is the enabling of one's faults (hence the previous clue re don't use tmsr as a crutch) [13:10]
diana_coman: also, you glossed over/chose only some parts to answer to in that comment, lol. [13:13]
diana_coman: will bbl [13:14]
whaack: diana_coman: okay i'll reread and comment addressing the points i missed. i had already waited 2 days to respond and i wanted to get _some_ response in. [13:28]
diana_coman: whaack: why the delay anyway? [14:56]
whaack: diana_coman: i thought writing a reply would take a while [14:57]
diana_coman: you can always ack the point(s) otherwise and note you'll need to think it some more or something but even better maybe discuss it instead of just spinning around it. [14:58]
diana_coman: whaack: heh; did it take then more than alloted and so you cut out parts or how does this even work? [14:58]
whaack: diana_coman: i just addressed the points I saw most important to respond to and eventually decided i had spent enough time and hit the comment button [15:00]
diana_coman: basically "the rest is not worth my time" then? [15:01]
whaack: diana_coman: arg no i don't think that even if my actions say it [15:02]
whaack: diana_coman: but spinning on it is not worth my time, and i'm worried that i'll lose hours doing that [15:04]
diana_coman: heh, good; but yeah, that's what they say and why I said you should have at least explicitly stated that you need more time to consider the other points. [15:05]
diana_coman: whaack: so...don't; hence - discuss/ask/talk, do NOT spin. [15:05]
whaack: diana_coman: alright i will get back to that comment thread later today after some saltmines. writing the article and reading the comments helped me quite a bit. the most important discovery was from mp calling out the b.s. 'worthy-because-worthless' reasoning that was underlying my "his strategy to stay safely seated on his throne and keep the council well indoctrinated" [15:12]
diana_coman: whaack: ok; possibly "next year" even, no hurry. [15:13]
whaack: diana_coman: erm i need to clarify that is a light new years reference and not stinging sarcasm lol [15:17]
whaack: diana_coman: ^ that is a malformed q : you are saying that it's okay if I get to it tomorrow, correct? [15:20]
diana_coman: whaack: ahaha; yes, it's okay if you get to it tomorrow, no worries. [15:26]
dorion_road: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/21/ossasepia-logs-for-30-Dec-2019#1014287 - I wasn't using the &lt;, but I changed those << for &lt;&lt; and that indeed solved it, thank you! [16:03]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-30 04:53:15 diana_coman: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/21/ossasepia-logs-for-29-Dec-2019#1014265 - possibly it gets confused by those < < that remained as such, try making them &lt; since you do that for the rest anyway, right? [16:03]
dorion_road: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/21/ossasepia-logs-for-30-Dec-2019#1014289 - yeah, I let myself get caught in, "this should be so simple, wtf am I overlooking ?" [16:05]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-30 04:57:24 diana_coman: dorion_road: also, don't bang head alone for that long - come in here and someone will bang your head for you if needed - or otherwise help you out way faster, you know? [16:05]
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: While I'm doing DNS things, did you have the minigame.biz restored anywhere? [16:17]
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: sadly no; it's only logs.minigame.biz that lobbes handles and so it's up. [16:24]
diana_coman: dorion_road: aren't those/the other &lt; normally handled by jfw's script? ie did you just find a bug in jfw's script in fact? [16:25]
dorion_road: diana_coman I didn't use his logotron2wp script there, but won't neglect to use it moving forward. [16:45]
