mircea_popescu: | pvc pipes carrying what ? | [01:36] |
ben_vulpes: | stored empty under the bridge | [01:44] |
mircea_popescu: | http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-31#1635123 << this is ridiculous. for one thing, pvc piping is treated against this, won't burn by itself (much like how cigarette won't burn out, if you don't drag it goes out). | [05:58] |
a111: | Logged on 2017-03-31 05:44 ben_vulpes: stored empty under the bridge | [05:58] |
mircea_popescu: | for the other thing, leaving aside the whole "pvc doesn't actually burn hot enough to melt bridge" - suppose it's 16 inch schedule 80 pipe. that means 30 or so meters per ton, but it also means that if you store ten pipes on the ground (4 meters wide, this), with nine on top followed by eight on 3rd level etc you get five levels of that per two meters height. pvc is about 40 MJ/kg, the arrangement would yield 10+9+8+7+6 = 40m | [06:22] |
mircea_popescu: | total worth of pipe under any meter of bridge worth maaaybe 50-60 GJ/meter over however long they take to burn, half hour or such. even unventilated, what's that supposed to do ? next we're going to hear rpo-a shmel can take out us bridges an' shit. | [06:22] |
mircea_popescu: | (to be clear : this isn't an argument in the vein of "what happened didnt happen", but merely an observation that the item must have been VERY poorly maintained for the collapse to occur. that it's being sold as disaster is very much in the vein of the 1923 "palace of established happiness" fire : the eunuchs dun really want anyone to see how much they've stolen, so there was a... fire.) | [06:36] |

Framedragger: | just ftr, i've been poking around scans.io which now has a search interface for (e.g.) all ipv4 space (among other things). e.g.: https://www.censys.io/ipv4/79.98.25.182/table#22 (ssh - banner, whole public key, etc. also https, etc etc.) | [09:58] |
Framedragger: | ^ could be useful (obvs would be even more useful to replicate all that data and own it (so to speak)) | [09:59] |
Framedragger: | but also a useful reminder that scanz done here are not original, and it's not an instance of "this was done before, whoops no data to show there." (ironically took a look at censys.io due to https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/262.pdf (hanno boeck's article)) | [10:00] |

mircea_popescu: | i wonder if anyone tried pouring some honey on the things. maybe they were just aiming for colibri ?! | [14:11] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform there's many different kinds of them. these are dark blue. | [14:12] |
mircea_popescu: | se swamp ones more like rusty orange iirc. | [14:12] |
mircea_popescu: | Framedragger nice info dump that censys.io thing though | [14:13] |
asciilifeform: | i was looking at it this morning -- not so nice imho. it seems to have unwritten snippety-snipping re 'konsoomer' ip ranges | [14:13] |
mircea_popescu: | i dunno how complete it is. | [14:14] |
asciilifeform: | and doesn't do full port scan, has, e.g., nfi that dulap has bitcoin on 8333 | [14:14] |
asciilifeform: | doesn't see zoolag at all | [14:14] |
asciilifeform: | (because, i suspect, 'konsoomer' and various 'it wouldn't do' propositions) | [14:14] |
asciilifeform: | so presently asciilifeform is unimpressed | [14:14] |
mircea_popescu: | full port is slow and expensive though. "Censys collects data on hosts and websites through daily ZMap and ZGrab scans of the IPv4 address space, in turn maintaining a database of how hosts and websites are configured." | [14:14] |
mircea_popescu: | you'd prolly need 4k machines to do full port scans daily | [14:15] |
asciilifeform: | it sure is, Framedragger described how expensive. you end up regularly booted off isp | [14:15] |
asciilifeform: | or how did it go. | [14:15] |
mircea_popescu: | my only problem is that they use google groups. had they had an irc room i'd have dropped by. a well. | [14:15] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform you spread them out. | [14:15] |
