cnomad: i don'
t want to develop reputation, just wanna say hi and observe
cnomad: I don;
t have any _specific_ qs at the moment, but i do some IC and firmware RE. I don'
t even know what this channel is about before joining
mircea_popescu: "grandfather's sword won'
t work for you until you get a horse like your grandmother."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i didn;
t mean VOLTMETER. i meant, separate doohickey.
mircea_popescu: regulators aren'
t expensive. and nothing wrong with 5v from battery either.
mircea_popescu: i haven'
t identified a use for laptop yet besides "dumbphone replacement for aspiring slavegirls".
mircea_popescu: oh, also, lest i forget : see alf ? you just don'
t do the upping correctly, is all.
mircea_popescu: these idiots (project something or the other, i forget) spent ten years to reach this pinnacle ; and the whole time wondering why their ~server~ can'
t hold more than five or so people connected.
mircea_popescu: also, pfalz is not per se an area in germany ; it's a bunch of areas. originally [holders of] palatine lands elected the emperor, so it's really akin to saying portland-tmsr and seattle-tmsr. tmsr isn'
t a plage, it's a designation.
phf: mircea_popescu: that as always makes a lot of sense. i knew that the original was an area in germany, but i didn'
t give much further thought to the obvious modification
mircea_popescu: they don'
t need to be paid, that's what an idiot is. who pays the wind to pull down your barn ?
mircea_popescu: mr "oh i don'
t wanna work for google to pay 5x in rent what their salary is". or we dun remember that now ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, really ? because last i heard, from tu quoque no less, he... wasn'
t making payroll.
mircea_popescu: IF NORMAL PEOPLE DIDN'
T READ LOPER YOU WOULD NOT BE ACCOMPLISHING YOUR GOAL!!11
mircea_popescu: who could have predicted getting a large number of morons that can'
t figure out ip addressing isn'
t worth anyone's time ?!?!!?
mircea_popescu: tbh i find this entire "can'
t turn off" bs as the originating quanta of offense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i don'
t expect pulling up all the pins one at a time will brick the machine, do you ?
Mocky: "Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun. You don'
t stare at it. It's too risky. Ya get a sense of it and then you look away."
BingoBoingo: <Mocky> worse that when it was raining trucker tits?? << That wasn'
t so bad. I got to listen to alf complain about that with my ears in real time.
trinque: tell you what, those trucker tits tightened my txn-hucking loop into the minutes scale. can'
t even complain.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: This isn'
t lack of belief in their heads so much as lack of life
mircea_popescu: i didn'
t sday hookers, did i ? don'
t tell me nudity is ungodly ?!
danielpbarron: i don'
t think they could have turned me down even if my aim was to represent the republic tho. 700 USD or whatever for a vendor spot.
mircea_popescu: because otherwise, really, the thing you "identify as" at parties bears no meaning and no interest, for us as for the chicks that don'
t come with you to your records collection.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823026 << this sort of statement would be so much more useful/important/noteworthy/actually existent if it came in the form of "i'm the guy from $X, long term so and so". where $X doesn'
t have to be a "our words are backed by nuclear weapons" state. can even be a blog. a dogshed. SOMETHING. but something specifically and identifiably existent.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 23:54 danielpbarron: they have some app exibitors can use to promote where they'll be and what they are serving (i reserved a vendor campsite specifically for the purpose of provoking conversation about the Bible) -- i also mention in my "profile" that i'm a lord in the most serene republic of Bitcoin, which mysteriously gets removed. I add it again, removed again. They apparently don'
t mind a religious "cult" but not
mircea_popescu: dog that doesn'
t learn speech doesn'
t so much have a pathology as a dogology.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn'
t be impressed with gravel mill that only milled some gravels.
danielpbarron: it's a common reaction from those who know they aren'
t in the know to those who think they are, that my perscsription is bunk
danielpbarron: i didn'
t have time to explain. he triggered quickly
mircea_popescu: but your objection to "just hammer the damned thing off the board" was "won'
t be able to power up, controls the 3v line". and now you found bypass ?
mircea_popescu: wait, wait. did you get the power or didn'
t you ? what are we talking about here ?
danielpbarron: they have some app exibitors can use to promote where they'll be and what they are serving (i reserved a vendor campsite specifically for the purpose of provoking conversation about the Bible) -- i also mention in my "profile" that i'm a lord in the most serene republic of Bitcoin, which mysteriously gets removed.

☟︎ danielpbarron: as in, anything else, just not bitcoin, that thing i told them years ago they shouldn'
t be spending on hotdogs and coffee
mircea_popescu: because we don'
t love her secretly. we hate her, and quite fucking plainly.
mircea_popescu: different from, say, comp.lang.lisp archive in that a) their chosen kid wasn'
t naggum and b) they actually had gathered around properly, as opposed to the idiots on bbs, captive in their self-important notions of independence and other man-alone-isms.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well Google probably didn'
t exact anyone to care to look
mircea_popescu: we don'
t generally support the idiocy known as
https, so merely you not serving
http may put you outside of the web.
mircea_popescu: oda, try putting it in p.bvulpes.com ; that tiuxo site uses some ssh bullshit / isn'
t on the web.
mircea_popescu: then again alf almost sounds like an anime character, doesn'
t seem to have hurt him any.
mircea_popescu: hand crafted wood. dood was beffudled, didn'
t really even want to sell it to me. "it's for ovens".
BingoBoingo: <hl`> that doesn'
t protect against physical attacks. << Buy a dog and carry a hammer
swiftgeek: and TPM implemented so poorly that it doesn'
t reset x86 with it
swiftgeek: you wouldn'
t go below 65nm if you are sane for tpm
swiftgeek: hl`: not really, but whether medium is ro or rw it doesn'
t matter
hl`: there's not really that much point to tpms if physical attacks aren'
t in your threat model. if they are, they can provide resistance against evil maids, etc.
swiftgeek: asciilifeform: it depends on having root-of-trust (tpm isn'
t it), then it's a fun store of secrets
swiftgeek: hl`: you don'
t need physical attack there really
hl`: that doesn'
t protect against physical attacks.
swiftgeek: asciilifeform: i can tell at the very least it doesn'
t look like anything ROHM would make (the chip)
swiftgeek: but don'
t actually treat them like that
swiftgeek: i didn'
t know they have actually made it finally
swiftgeek: so don'
t be confused if he logs from different node xD
swiftgeek: libreboot thinkpad doesn'
t have it easy, neither BSDLs nor XOR test chains are described for our montevina targets
swiftgeek: what i mean is that chromebooks aren'
t popular in china
swiftgeek: asciilifeform: i don'
t consider swapping a board as repair
swiftgeek: ok can'
t find anything on any usual suspects
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 15:46 asciilifeform: one interesting observation, is that the update mechanism lets you flash in arbitrary crapola into 'rw' section ( it simply won'
t jump to it if it doesn'
t pass rsa(sha256(payload)) ) . so theoretically could put a nop sled there, ending with jump into the magic half of unlock routine. and then expose the thing to beta/gamma, and perhaps in a few months it will Do The Right Thing
swiftgeek: and i was wondering why we don'
t see so much VIA chipsets anymore xD
