@IndoVirtue lol I know / was only playing, but thanks for spelling it out. Beep boop double entendre 0 or 1. First fuzzy logic, then the world. @TheLinuxBug there was only packet loss with a single failover IP. It was indeed in a different 'c-class'. Although I think you may have misunderstood...

very rude @GIANT_CRAB

More obliviousness and misdirection... I'm not sure what copious packet loss from 52 different test sites around the world has to do with the "network interface configuration of each IP failover" at the level of config files in /etc/x. The IPs are configured correctly (in fact, I eventually got...

@HalfEatenPie the article isn't quite rocket science and the 70% figure is irrelevant. While I certainly wasn't aware of that percentage, I agree that it is interchangeable and almost meaningless (I wouldn't have cared what number the author chose). They could have written anything. I mean, no...

Another problem is there's no IPMI and they charge $30 per day for a KVM console. I didn't foresee this as IPMI is free with OVH's dedicated server line. In other words, it seems I can't use any third party OS and am stuck with their custom OS templates? Makes diagnosing certain problems a...

I've read some horror stories about So you Start's support. Blah blah long response times for hardware replacement and so on. On the other hand, I have some servers with OVH and have never had a problem with them, so I ended up giving SyS a try a few days ago. So far it seems to have been...

@drmike http://prole.info/pdfs/pyramid.pdf Some amusing variants here too. :)

@NotHere I've not had that many new signups a month before. I agree, though. If you 'need' 50 signups a month just to break even during formative stages (and after), your hosting company is probably guaranteed to fail.

@KuJoe true, I recant. I suggest reading Recantorium and substituting the author's biographical details with randomness, then replacing instances of "National Poetry Month" with "Tor" and "Poetry Commonwealth" with "Internet". Don't forgot to replace "Books of Accessible Poets" with "Anonymous...

It will probably be those in the $500 per toilet seat class organizing the exposition, however they will not have to do the presentation (which is mandatory). The parrots will act as a proxy or surrogate, sublating various bygone concepts such as 'responsibility' and 'accountability' into...

via Looks like Silicon Valley has some splainin' to do!

It was in response to your theory of 'correctly functioning' internet anonymity as a utopia of tolerance and equality. In short, anonymity that is invisible to certain 'actors' as a prerequisite of its becoming would have very little to do with 'equality'. Seems likely that it would not emerge...

True, it obviously isn't 'required' and I never said it was. I'm not sure if you're intentionally misreading me but I'll try again. What I meant is that such copious public funding suggests the branding initiative known as Tor was constituted in large part by American soft power. A certain...

Let me put it a different way. A quick look at the funding suggests that a sine qua non of Tor is the presence of American agents. It would seem that Tor's anonymous motley simultaneously guarantees their presence and is constituted by it. It has been that way since day one. I see you've become...

@drmike yeah, that seems like a better idea than X2GO eclecticism, although I still probably wouldn't risk it without a breathable full body Faraday suit. This is basically my current setup except I have a grenade bandolier of raspberry pis and I wear a tinfoil kippah rather than a garbage bin...

Um, returning to the topic... might be considered crude, but could always create and save multiple X2GO sessions across an eclectic array of vps, then write a simple mouse & keyboard macro to open a random one. Do that a few layers deep and you'll have what the OP is asking for. Or, get...

Maybe Russians just have a completely different sensibility and aren't as easily persuaded when it comes to the thought of revoking cynicism re: government encroachments. Somehow I doubt that the practice of samizdat had anything resembling today's line-up of friendly neighbourhood government...

Guess I'll add that I have no argument re: the technical implementation of Tor or as to whether it is 'intentionally' a honeypot or not. I simply wouldn't know and am not interested in or capable of exploring it at that level. With that in mind, I concede that Levine may have been talking out...
