<2022-09-07T15:47:42.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: i heard thru the grapevine you are considering epik. dont do it, the ceo is a tech illiterate fucktard that makes the pig farmer look good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TveK9Sfwtvo  they bought terrahost becuase their managerial structure is so fucking shite they needed to absorb another company to make it less shite, the issue is at the top, their ceo, is a massive fucktard. (this jeff from lokinet, this is my anon fedi sock)
<2022-09-07T15:56:52.000Z> josh: As opposed to Vanwa?
<2022-09-07T15:57:00.000Z> josh: Have you ever heard Nick the Lim debate Shrekli?
<2022-09-07T15:57:16.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: i have not, i did hear he got out of jails
<2022-09-07T15:58:23.000Z> josh: The reason people think epik is because I put my .net on them
<2022-09-07T15:58:26.000Z> josh: it is true though
<2022-09-07T15:59:02.000Z> josh: I had a call with them. the guy that runs it is obviously a boomer libertarian but I don't need someone to run my shit for me, I just need a boomer libertarian who hates being told what to do to stand up for me a little
<2022-09-07T15:59:31.000Z> josh: idk who rob colbert is though
<2022-09-07T15:59:34.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: vanwa looks like a generic dedicated provider, you are going to need to start tiering your infra with a core server that is fully hidden with a kid of diy agile load balancer setup that can be burned through rapidly as they get banned.
<2022-09-07T15:59:48.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: rob is the ceo of epik, he is a fucktard
<2022-09-07T15:59:52.000Z> josh: Rob retired
<2022-09-07T15:59:56.000Z> josh: The new CEO is named Bryan.
<2022-09-07T16:00:03.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: really? 
<2022-09-07T16:00:06.000Z> josh: Yessir.
<2022-09-07T16:00:21.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: did they finally kick his ass out?
<2022-09-07T16:00:37.000Z> josh: As it was explained to me, Rob is no longer in a managerial position.
<2022-09-07T16:00:42.000Z> josh: I don't know what that means. Didn't ask.
<2022-09-07T16:00:47.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: i see
<2022-09-07T16:01:23.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: well fuck me this is a new development 
<2022-09-07T16:01:24.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: https://www.einpresswire.com/article/588955207/epik-holdings-inc-founder-appoints-successor-ceo
<2022-09-07T16:01:40.000Z> josh: smugpepe
<2022-09-07T16:01:49.000Z> josh: I am very optimistic, the guy sounds like a true boomer chud
<2022-09-07T16:02:26.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: i was under the assumption rob was still at the helm, if not then go with epik. you still need to start thinking about tiering infra to make moving less painful
<2022-09-07T16:02:34.000Z> josh: yes I agree
<2022-09-07T16:02:41.000Z> josh: I'm working on something but it's so slow
<2022-09-07T16:02:43.000Z> josh: everything is so slow
<2022-09-07T16:03:01.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: also, please defer lokinet connectivity until after we add proper tooling for load balancing.
<2022-09-07T16:03:15.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: if you choose to at all
<2022-09-07T16:03:27.000Z> josh: i'd love to one day i need my fucking money back lmao
<2022-09-07T16:03:31.000Z> josh: get that shit workin
<2022-09-07T16:03:44.000Z> josh: add a built in proof of work ddos wall
<2022-09-07T16:03:59.000Z> josh: getting some sort of proof-of-human on Tor SUCKS
<2022-09-07T16:04:02.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: the snode was on your network and it being hit by glowops does not help with uptime
<2022-09-07T16:04:13.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: yeah it does, they lack any inbound auth on connections
<2022-09-07T16:04:19.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: just a fuck you i am loopback
<2022-09-07T16:04:59.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: i had an idea for a coinjizz shitproject, an incentivsed sni reverse proxy network 
<2022-09-07T16:05:46.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: like what oxen has but instead it is JUST an sni reverse proxy, you pay the nodes to handle your traffic, addressable via a blockahin entry of the hash of your domain pointing to a public key.
<2022-09-07T16:06:43.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: given the sni in the tls handshake it will find an entry and forward the entire tls handshake to a node with that public key via yggdrasil dht spanning tree routing
<2022-09-07T16:07:24.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: so that way one would just point your domain at the IP of some of the nodes, you pay them and they will be a DIY reverse proxy cdn.
<2022-09-07T16:07:56.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: but like shit that is a lot of work for a coinjizz project i gave the name "POOPChain" proof of open port
<2022-09-07T16:10:02.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: one thing that COULD help a little via onion is to require a client tls cert to access anything.
<2022-09-07T16:10:12.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: that does not stop the rend cell floods
<2022-09-07T16:10:32.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: the rend cell floods are the biggest weakness in tor that idk if they will ever fix
<2022-09-07T16:11:58.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: on the topic of PoW anti ddos, there is a very neat idea in how to do that but also have it be latancy bound so you cant just GPU it tf up
<2022-09-07T16:12:56.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: the pkt guy is on fedi, pick his brain, cjd on pkteerium.xyz
<2022-09-07T16:14:28.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: wrt the oxen exchange rate, it took a shit with the rest of the global economy. i am just happy we are still running.
<2022-09-07T16:25:06.000Z> josh: files.catbox.moe/yz7ii0.mp4
<2022-09-07T16:28:50.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: this kid is ... jesus fuck
<2022-09-07T16:30:22.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: yeah kids are idiots regardless of the generation
<2022-09-07T16:34:22.000Z> josh: that's nick the lim
<2022-09-07T16:34:24.000Z> josh: he runs vanwa
<2022-09-07T16:34:25.000Z> josh: lol
<2022-09-07T16:34:36.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: aha
<2022-09-07T16:34:39.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: lmao
<2022-09-07T16:34:52.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: he is probably a reseller of hetz
<2022-09-07T16:35:53.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: you COULD use him as a temp caching loadbalancer
<2022-09-07T16:36:12.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: but not worth it in the long run, you've already dicked about with enough people
<2022-09-07T16:36:17.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: no need to make more people madc
<2022-09-07T16:40:03.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: i am guessing the people at path / auxillery CIA pedo goons are using this internet drama as a scapgoat for their ongoing network attacks?
<2022-09-07T16:42:27.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: if so, that would make a lot of sense and be on par with that whole dark corner of the world
<2022-09-07T16:43:16.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: burning down entire networks and entire countries to "protect intelligence assets" aka get rid of evidence
<2022-09-08T11:08:55.000Z> josh: do you know anything about bgp
<2022-09-08T11:18:22.000Z> josh: idk how do i get in touch
<2022-09-08T11:18:29.000Z> josh: i cannot figure out routing
<2022-09-08T11:18:41.000Z> josh: im so fucking exhausted from the fucking router not fucking working or my upstreams just doing shit wrong
<2022-09-08T11:19:32.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: to what extent? i know what it can do, e.g. anycast, i just do not know the details of orchestrating such in practice. 
<2022-09-08T11:20:34.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: i see, who do you peer with?
<2022-09-08T11:22:09.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: if it is mikrotek, your router may be cooked if it got hit hard and long enough. not sure what the amount of buggering those can handle 
<2022-09-08T11:22:43.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: i'll ask around and see if i can get advice on this
<2022-09-08T11:22:54.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: but first breakfast
<2022-09-08T12:05:21.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: if you want i can take a peek at your configs to copy check them. as for upstream, you are in fiber hub las vegas right?
<2022-09-08T12:23:02.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: i'll ask my netadmin friend he steps for troubleshooting he does on his network's edge router 
<2022-09-08T12:45:16.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: when you do an icmp ping to your peers and to something external to those peers are you getting back icmp network unreachable or does icmp just not come back?
<2022-09-08T12:47:58.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: if you want i have an xmpp if that works better jeff@lokinet.io
<2022-09-08T13:20:28.000Z> josh: Sent from sneeder@conversations.im
<2022-09-08T13:32:05.000Z> josh: getting an xmpp for desktop
<2022-09-08T13:33:00.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: dino is the least shit ime
<2022-09-08T13:33:24.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: (would recommend)
<2022-09-27T14:08:42.000Z> yes@social.handholding.io: ifurlup in power dns looks like it is a part of their lua api. what is the snag you are hitting? tls?
