phf: asciilifeform: oh i just read the headers, that's why i only post the headers.
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later tell trinque http://btcinfo.sdf.org/znc.html

mod6: Or just gotta wait and see if i drop behind. Then may just compile it in. Will report back once I have something on this.
mod6: Tuning the best interval between when we would query a connected host seems like it might take some doing. Right now, looks like 20 minutes (in ben's vpatch).
asciilifeform: so for so long as this situation continues to be observed anywhere -- we have a bug.
asciilifeform: but trb nodes really oughta all be within a few blox of one another at all times.
asciilifeform: it's one thing where prb refuses to serve trb node blox, or puts out some oddball liquishit that gets it malleus'd, etc
asciilifeform: mod6: let's restate the general principle. if you have two or moar trb nodes, and they are 'in communion' with one another regularly, and yet one is several 100 blox behind the other(s) -- THIS IS A BUG
asciilifeform: the ben_vulpes takes the orig fix to the logical conclusion.
mod6: yaeh, i have a feeling that's kinda what was happening to me. but untested yet.
asciilifeform: considering that a connection can last for theoretically unlimited time.
asciilifeform: i suspect that his approach is in fat The Right Thing. making connect-time 'special' is every bit as dumb as making boot time special.
asciilifeform: the one that actively milks every peer regularly, and not simply on-connect
asciilifeform: mod6: speaking of, didja ever try ben_vulpes's moar-aggression patch ?
BingoBoingo: I have to say the silence this morning is a bit extraño
deedbot: http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2018/01/30/the-initial-cash-trade/ << Bingo Blog - The Initial Cash Trade
BingoBoingo: trinque: Ty for the film. Hopefully I can see it sometime before March.
trinque: https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=529_1517109784 << of possible interest to BingoBoingo et al
trinque: ah speaking of missing fingers, where's that liveleak
asciilifeform: ( some of these will make sense only to orcs, e.g. https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/233577/31478297.35a/0_dece9_75feb48a_X5L.jpg << 'do not dry by the fire clothes you have washed in petrol' )
asciilifeform: https://fotki.yandex.ru/users/kolonist62/album/137117? << moar than you could ever want.
trinque: this some kind of "without the workers we wouldn't have all this glorious fy00t0r" ?
asciilifeform: some of these have pretty great possibilities for double-meaning, e.g. https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9254/31478297.2d7/0_aca84_b516d1dd_XL.jpg >> 'mmm, hi-fi!11'
mod6: "If you try to throw yourself upon the wheels of the great machine, you're gonna have a bad time, Komrade"
mod6: nothing wrong with that.
mod6: Thanks for reading and trying to pick out if it said the wrong thing though. I appreciate that.
asciilifeform: ... and to stay away from heavy machinery, lol
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell mod6 or hm nm brain spasm, strike that.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell mod6 http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2018-January/000285.html << i noticed, somehow only nao, that it has text 'This experimental vpatch requests blocks from all nodes that send a version message.' >> which has 0 relation to the patch...
asciilifeform: laplinker: keep in mind also that there can be no question of e.g. selling probes, to somebody not in wot.
laplinker: Thanks, and thanks for all the help :)
asciilifeform: as it is, if you come back, no one knows who is speaking, 'shakespeare -- or another man by the same name', for instance.
asciilifeform: laplinker: register with deedbot; then you will be able to get ratings; and self-voice.
laplinker: sry, had to go deal with some stuff unexpectedly. catching up
asciilifeform: and deserve to burn on same pyre.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-10 16:50 asciilifeform: to round off the crackpottery, 'superlinear' is when the chumps deposit their dough, but afterwards ~go home to get more~, to bring friends, etc.
asciilifeform: and the folx who know, and do not care, are http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-10#1768490 , they are as culpable as the orig author. ☝︎
asciilifeform: neither i nor anybody else with half a brain need these charts, or 'We are going to use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test here...', or any of it, to know that 'tether' is a gox-style scam
asciilifeform: 'The author is concerned about backlash and has asked to remain pseudonymous by signing this report with a public hash of their name' << lol wai am i reading this
asciilifeform: fwiw i will not buy any new intel product. haven't, for quite some time.
asciilifeform: given that the 'security pros' and academia circuses were permitted to make ME core a centerpiece of their self-aggrandizing idiocy, you can be quite certain that there is a fallback. multiple fallbacks.
asciilifeform: laplinker: not especially interesting, no. i'm more interested in whatever fallbacks are in there ~separately~ from ME core. nsa fritzchip never come in singles.
asciilifeform: i.e. the bios can (and by default does) perma-lock the hdt port after boot
a111: Logged on 2016-10-04 15:36 asciilifeform: ACHTUNG, PANZERS! pc engines 'apu2' (the board with the intel nics - vs. 'apu1', with realtek) , turns out, is crippled, hdt probe barfs with it, the cpu is reputed to have a drm fuse set.
laplinker: maybe you will find this interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMEJCLX2dtw
asciilifeform: but it so happens that these are the ONLY items i find interesting from hardware debug pov.
asciilifeform: winintel doesn't want people debugging the drm spyshitware in the bios; or the winblowz kernel. ergo xhci.
laplinker: hmm... i might actually do that, for the xdp3, they should be popping up more and more the more time passes and most folks use xhci, but thats just a guess
asciilifeform: sage probe is quite easy to find. 1) get in wot -- register with deedbot 2) make a bid in btc 3) one of the folx here will sell you a sageprobe.
laplinker: xdp3 is hard to find, same i guess as the sage probve
asciilifeform: 0 interest to me, because victim-detectable.
asciilifeform: right, but where the fuck to get a xdp3.
asciilifeform: ( they were at one point sold off for pennies on the dollar )
asciilifeform: laplinker: iirc i tried the 'free' ver, it wanted a xdp3.
laplinker: asciilifeform: shitware is available for free, part of intel debugger studio (which is shitware) but the "intel DAL" is free
laplinker: oh, no, i would go that far... maybe win 10 IOT, there is also this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-CONFIDENTIAL-HASWELL-PROCESSOR-Reference-Validation-Board-w-i5-4570R-ES/273038318551?hash=item3f925a1bd7:g:vaQAAOSwU91aWc7R
asciilifeform: didja ever get it to boot a standard winblows, for instance ?
asciilifeform: considering that half the point of hardware debugger is to debug heavily-antidebuggistic shitware... ☟︎
asciilifeform: and at any rate change behaviour when it senses that debug is active
asciilifeform: i.e. the 'victim' can disable the port
asciilifeform: laplinker: the problem is that the usb3 debug is NOT os-transparent
asciilifeform: ( it sits on lan and you can telnet to it )
asciilifeform: i like how the sage requires literally NO os support on the driving end
laplinker: sometimes those xdp3 boxed pop up oon ebay, i found mine for about 50$ a few years ago, but now intel is debugging over usb3
asciilifeform: laplinker: i don't particularly need this for anything, when i have a working sageprobe and amd boxes
asciilifeform: for another thing, stock bios on intel boxes disables xdp jack
laplinker: you should really get one of those minnow boards and a lure board, works OOB with intel DAL at VLV2 config
asciilifeform: it ain't gdb-compatible, for one thing. requires windows shitware which they sold for $10k's and never afaik leaked
asciilifeform: laplinker: funnily enough, i have an intel xdp, and several boxes with the jack, but never was able to get it running
asciilifeform: 'We are sorry, but the item you are looking for is no longer available on our website.'
laplinker: well that was unexpected , i assumed it would be expensive ,i mean look at the intel xdp
laplinker: yeah, im not so sure i can afford something that costs: "send me a quote" :)
asciilifeform: laplinker: see the faq, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1887
asciilifeform: laplinker: last i saw they were still available with 'gizmo1'
trinque: and also, handled incorrectly that'll be a lot of boxen that are suddenly unreachable
asciilifeform: considering the 'escape from dnsism' thing we have going, this actually matters
asciilifeform: right, but what does that mean in practice ? rack with no permanent ips for month? two ?
BingoBoingo: getting some from them and then resubmitting my application to LACNIC. Gotta utilize 64 ip addresses before LACNIC will allocate a /24
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Contract start date is Feb 1st, but I am about to poke them to check the wire and see if the racking can start. ☟︎
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: !~later tell mircea_popescu a MUSL box is now ready to plug in and serve a form of Qntra... after a weekend of head banging
asciilifeform: ( they give moar bang for the antiquarian buck , and more likely to be met with )
asciilifeform: prolly g5 is more relevant to future
trinque: ah, I could set that up later in the week. going to be traveling starting tomorrow.
asciilifeform: ( i could buy an old ppc , a la BingoBoingo , for fiddybux, but i'd like to go in direction of ~decreasing~ old iron collection, not growing... )
asciilifeform: trinque: actually i was hoping to get a shell on one of your ppc
a111: Logged on 2018-01-29 01:14 asciilifeform: !~later tell trinque do you have a working gnat on ppc (g5 or any other) ?
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-29#1777911 << not at the moment. when my stack's popped to ffa will try to do my homework on one of the g5s ☝︎
asciilifeform: e.g. the torture palace in bucharest
asciilifeform: iirc there's a few in e.g. africa disguised as 'uh, nuffin at all here, move along'
trinque: kinda laughable notion that the location of .mil bases was secret
shinohai: "Fitness app lights up staff @ mil bases" is best headline in feed today.
asciilifeform: ty ave1 , i'd definitely like to read the answer ☟︎
ave1: Meanwhile, I'll fix the links, also I found the problem will report a little later
asciilifeform: and when i say 'complete' i mean zero-libraries, a la ffa. kernel calls for i/o, and that's it.
asciilifeform would like to see a complete wwwtron in ada. but does not have any spare arms presently for such a thing. ☟︎
