mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1823930 << this difference doesn't exist. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( i can dpa right here, dun need help even. but it isn't particularly useful for cr50. )
asciilifeform: cnomad: dpa won't do a lick of good, the boobytrap is a rsa pub sig check, no secrets involved
mircea_popescu: doesn't the referee have to be qualified ?
asciilifeform: this doesn't do anything for us. but do consider !!register'ing a gpg key.
asciilifeform: it won't, if you ain't in the wot.
asciilifeform: you do not have to use your meatspace name, or anything of the kind. simply need gpg key, one that you won't lose.
cnomad: i don't want to develop reputation, just wanna say hi and observe
cnomad: i don't use google
asciilifeform: so yes, generally you won't hear what they do not want you to hear, if google search if your main source.
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
asciilifeform: so long as it doesn't carry x86 firmware on board
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".
asciilifeform: re costs -- can't speak for other folx, but i'd happily pay, say, $1k , for a proper arm64 lappy
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: the only problem is... i don't actually know how.
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
asciilifeform: well tbh i dun know the amstan d00d at all, can't say precisely whose type
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 ?
asciilifeform: they have these slaves, they work for food and roof, etc. and they aint dead yet, corpses can't post disinfo in forums etc. so ergo they still make payroll..
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: how could you not be happy your article was popular!!! didn't it get a lot of visitors ?!?!?! http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-22#1756992 ?! ☝︎
asciilifeform: so this doesn't exactly narrow down what the base fpga was.
mircea_popescu: this is pretty reasonable. doesn't have to be fast
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 ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823258 << yeah, this "i'll live on my own terms" bs is pretty fucking outrageous, isn't it. ☝︎
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."
mircea_popescu: Mocky, somehow i didn't mind that so much.
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
danielpbarron: probably but i don't remember
danielpbarron: i can't tell you that
mircea_popescu: i didn't sday hookers, did i ? don't tell me nudity is ungodly ?!
danielpbarron: can't do that
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: we don't get to know, do we.
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
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823362 << i was never able to arise myself to visit this lulzfest, and now beginning to think that i didn't miss much ☝︎
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 ?
asciilifeform: the tpm bullshit doesn't seem to use much (or any) custom logic, the crypto is in the c src
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1823375 << except, it ain't a proper arm cortex, but a softcore-arm in (metallization)fpga. cuz i suspect somebody read the Logz re specificity-of-diddling ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1822678 << teenager looking for somewhere to teenage today, if it wasn't evident. ☝︎
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 ☟︎
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".
asciilifeform: it isn't clear that all of their derpery has to date added up to any 'gets done'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it isn't clear to me, what, if anything, these folx wanted, other than to waste our time.
asciilifeform: rotten old fungus man rms, you can say whatever about, but he was exactly on target re how this particular item will go, back in '97. first, 'it only stores keys, harmless!' ( and won't give'em up to usg Because Reasons ... ) then 'ok now it can rewrite fw' 'yer lying, they Would Never!11!!' '...'
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
asciilifeform: this is an eprom. and i've had them in physical possession long enuff to know that they weren't touched by fucking nato. and , on top of this, i can physically photo the crystal without decap.
swiftgeek: you wouldn't go below 65nm if you are sane for tpm
asciilifeform: 'open' isn't worth a sparrow's fart, per se
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
asciilifeform: you don't resell crypto hardware, you thermite it
swiftgeek: hl`: you don't need physical attack there really
hl`: that doesn't protect against physical attacks.
asciilifeform: we don't pki, and we don't ssl.
asciilifeform: it is not difficult to design a usable cpu, if you don't need bincompatibility with anything
asciilifeform: doesn't give much .
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
asciilifeform: fwiw i don't have any use for anything short of the schem
swiftgeek: what i mean is that chromebooks aren't popular in china
asciilifeform: and it ain't there.
asciilifeform: i don't see this as a productive line of probing
swiftgeek: asciilifeform: i don't consider swapping a board as repair
swiftgeek: it doesn't show that at all xD
swiftgeek: ok can't find anything on any usual suspects
swiftgeek: so i won't find anything xD
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
