- [09:51] [INFO] Channel view for “#menintux” opened.
- [09:51] -->| YOU (slash\) have joined #menintux
- [09:51] <Antibody> Also, arguing with yourself.
- [09:51] <tyryl> you don't understand the point at all; how could you know whether it's moot?
- [09:52] <Antibody> Go ahead tyryl: explain to me how I'm an idiot
- [09:52] <tyryl> no need to get defensive.
- [09:52] <Antibody> I made a simple statement about a heat map of IP addresses and their geolocations, and you laugh. Nice.
- [09:53] <tyryl> you've got issues.
- [09:53] <Antibody> Sure, of course I do. I take offense at anal retentive asses who insert their opinions at even the most casual conversation.
- [09:53] <tyryl> grats
- [09:53] <Antibody> in* even
- [09:54] <tyryl> I take offense at clueless assholes who try to sound smart and knowledgeable all the time but become insanely defensive when challenged in the slightest, and pretend that the world is attacking them.
- [09:54] <tyryl> oh well
- [09:54] <Antibody> I'm not clueless.
- [09:54] <tyryl> you are, but that's irrelevant
- [09:55] <tyryl> you're the only one calling yourself an idiot and talking about ridicule
- [09:55] <Antibody> IP addresses are assigned, yes?
- [09:55] <tyryl> I wouldn't even know how to approach that statement
- [09:55] <Antibody> Good god man. How abstract must I be to get through your skull?
- [09:55] <Antibody> Are you high again?
- [09:55] <tyryl> huh?
- [09:56] <tyryl> who are you?
- [09:56] <tyryl> you need to be less abstract and a bit more exact.
- [09:56] <tyryl> that's the problem.
- [09:56] <Antibody> IP addresses are assigned by RIRs
- [09:56] <tyryl> heh
- [09:56] <Antibody> Those who obtain an assigned address block resolve to a given location
- [09:56] <Antibody> That location is then used to deduce the physical location of a given IP address
- [09:57] <Antibody> Thus, geoip.
- [09:57] <Antibody> No, it is not exact.
- [09:57] <Antibody> However, it is still useful.
- [09:57] <Antibody> For example, in heat maps of source IP addresses.
- [09:58] <Antibody> e.g. where are the users of my server coming from?
- [09:58] <Mirio> cool interview again Antibody
- [09:58] <Antibody> This way of finding out where your users are is not perfect. However, it is reasonably accurate.
- [09:58] <Antibody> Thanks Mirio!
- [09:58] <tyryl> /8s and /16s are delegated to RIRs by IANA; RIRs dole them out to networks who can justify their use. largely, those networks subdelegate smaller CIDR prefixes to ISPs. there is no 'resolving to a given location;' I'm not even sure what that means.there is WHOIS data that may or may not exist in accordance with policies of certain networks doing delegation...in nature. but that tells nothing
- [09:58] <tyryl> of the nature of an address, and in fact any given address is entirely dynamic
- [09:58] <tyryl> uh
- [09:58] <tyryl> good job quakenet
- [09:59] <Mirio> so whos next? :) I read troulbe with Fruits demo
- [09:59] <Antibody> Yeah, trouble with the demo
- [10:00] <Antibody> tyryl: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1433634
- [10:00] <tyryl> what is this
- [10:00] <Antibody> Enjoy that research paper on geolocation.
- [10:01] <tyryl> why would i read that
- [10:02] <Antibody> Okay, don't read it. Instead, hang out and comment on ever tiny flaw in the sentences I type.
- [10:02] <tyryl> the abstract doesn't even demonstrate any relevance to whatever it is you're discussing
- [10:02] <Antibody> We all know this IRC channel is a pillar of thought.
- [10:02] <tyryl> uh, you're putting your thoughts out there
- [10:02] <tyryl> if you don't expect them to be taken seriously, why say them?
- [10:02] <tyryl> it's not my fault you're bitter
- [10:02] <Antibody> Sorry, don't have time to endlessly debate with you. You win! Congrats.
- [10:02] <tyryl> go fuck yourself
- [10:03] <Antibody> Don't have the time at the moment, but thanks for your thoughts.
- [10:03] <Antibody> Prick.
- [10:03] <tyryl> you must be 15
- [10:03] <Antibody> Not even close.
- [10:03] <tyryl> no, really
- [10:03] <tyryl> "OH HI GUYS IM DRUNK IVE NEVER BEEN DRUNK BEFORE IM TRIPPING SO HARD"
- [10:03] <tyryl> rofl?
- [10:03] <tyryl> god you're stupid as fuck
