asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it does, and current openssl does the /etc/.../systemwideusg.rubbish thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rright but the curl bin oughta statically contain whatever's required. nomoar /etc/..../greekgov.cert plox.
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu reminds me , trinque : here's an idea, let's banish the 'root certs' and any systemwide sslism from cuntoo. if user demands it , let him install locally. ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: diana_coman: test anyffing you can think of.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fwiw fg is not affected by resets; but i won't presume ever to tell anybody not to test theirs ( personally i only 'is it still there?' on machine boot, but thats just me )
lobbesbot: diana_coman: Sent 10 hours and 5 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plox to log into your unit and put it through any necessary tests

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm at least a little surprised to hear that any of'em paid anyffing
mircea_popescu: incidentally, since we were discussing http://trilema.com/2018/surprised-by-joy-the-shape-of-my-early-life-adnotated/#footnote_163_80959 : ALL of these "early modern financial vehicles" are the same thing -- smoke and mirrors for a "government of England" to pay 30 pennies to the pound and keep the capital.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 1mn in cash + some unknown amount of promisolade to sumbody, neh
asciilifeform: btw if mircea_popescu or somebody else here discovers that asic ( ~actual~ asic, not metallization-fpga ) can nao be baked for a coupla coin, asciilifeform will not cry; quite opposite.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc 1st 'btc asic' were entirely fraudulent fpga-with-sanded-top
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 15:36 mircea_popescu: i dunno what the fuck you think juniper is ; but as a factual matter juniper is the result of exactly this conversation among dumber people ~15 years ago.
mircea_popescu: xmlhttp.open("GET", "https://www.googleapis.com/webfonts/v1/webfonts?key=AIzaSyCz-kpy86ft7U0Dh1LYkhTxrr_QPK27s1I&", true); fine example as any

asciilifeform: this fits with the earlier mircea_popescu hypothesis yes
asciilifeform: exactly this, mircea_popescu
a111: Logged on 2018-09-11 05:33 mircea_popescu: let's look at the matter : the actual manuscript has been maintained online by the british museum for half a decade by now. more. out of all these "creative" kanzures, exactly ZERO actually transcribed it and published on their own fucking worthless "online presence".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: these sad stix run hot.
asciilifeform: mod6: plox to credit diana_coman with phree day of rk service, and yerself -- 8d

asciilifeform: diana_coman: we found the culprit, will report here shortly
asciilifeform: vacant unit 'A' behaves same as diana_coman's , and exactly same after april kernel re-emplaced there
asciilifeform: ( there appear to be four affected units, incl. diana_coman's )
asciilifeform: danke schon diana_coman
asciilifeform: diana_coman: one other q -- which kernel are you presently using ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: plox to lemme know if you find any clue re why the machine fell.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this is not bad approach ( tho i still have my boxen set to come to life on boot, as sometimes i am away from console for entire day )
asciilifeform: however diana_coman's did not come to life on boot, so i suspect a config oddity
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i haven't used apache in yrs, so cannot say yes/no
asciilifeform: diana_coman: and if anything in /var/log/messages loox strange.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: see if you can find why your apache fell down
asciilifeform: diana_coman: that'd explain
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this produced an apparently normal (uartwise) boot
asciilifeform: diana_coman: we temporarily powered up your unit with the drive on usb2 bus

a111: Logged on 2018-09-11 16:56 diana_coman: the lifetime of this drive though seems veeery short, so I need to decide on wtf
asciilifeform: however, diana_coman's unit boots, and initializes ssh , etc , but doesn't appear to actually listen on the port
asciilifeform: diana_coman: plz give ( or not ) permission to modify your rk filesystem to enable uart console ( /etc/inittab )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: can you ssh to your rk nao ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: plz pop into #p & watch for updates, we are in the process of eliminating other potential culprits
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this is strictly optional
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma ask BingoBoingo to plug this disk into one of your other boxes (plox to choose which one) so you can recover any state you had not a chance to back up; meanwhile you will be issued a spare .
asciilifeform: [ 9.105595] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 33827664 << consistently across boots
asciilifeform: http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/rk_e_sads.txt

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-09-11 09:31 diana_coman: good morning; I can't seem to be able to connect to my rockchip anymore: http (ossasepia.com) gives 403 You don't have permission to access / on this server ; ssh refuses connection too; there was NO change as far as I know - I haven't touched it in quite a while and last time I connected everything worked fine; any idea what might be wrong there, BingoBoingo ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we do not currently know, but BingoBoingo is in the cage as we speak with the uart probe.

a111: Logged on 2018-04-18 11:42 ascii_lander: the only sensible policy is to proclaim, ahead of time, that any customer found monkeying with the lan , will be banished, with no refunds and no recourse;
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right nao anybody can sit down on as many ips as he wants, or munge and retransmit , or pretty much any conceivable mischief.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-18 04:53 ben_vulpes: douchebag: pizarro board has serious reservations about your fucking up our honorsystem ip routing table and bringing dos/whatever hell down upon our little gated community, can i extract a commitment from you to not misbehave in my cab?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you know how to perma-fix this with a box that doesn't cost 50k or take up an entire rack (i.e. x86 box with 9000 nics) i'm all ears.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is only 'resolved' in the sense you are contemplating, on juniper and similar.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i warned of this in the first days ( currently digging in log re exact line )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i test'em before handing over to mod6 . ☟︎
asciilifeform: ACHTUNG all pizarro rockchip customers ! if you modified your /etc/conf.d/net , in recent 2 weeks, plz say ! asciilifeform currently suspects that somebody munged theirs, and it may account for diana_coman's unreachable box, we may have to take the pilot plant down for maintenance and manually dig, if nobody says anyffing
mircea_popescu: let's compare and contrast 1960s cheap illustrations : the neo-post-impressionist school ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Galaxy_196210.jpg ) with the early-computerist-aesthetic (itself almost indistinguishable from "the votive america flying over some telegraph poles, drawn by qualified industrial draughtsman") : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90/Amazing_stories_196310.jpg
mircea_popescu: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Fantasy_book_1950_n6.jpg/330px-Fantasy_book_1950_n6.jpg << amusingly, EXACT pulp, as far as form is concerned.

a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 17:15 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: oh. so. "the world doesnt care about the cool hackers on the internet, but only the assholes with prestigious positions." this has been a widely known complaint for a long time
a111: Logged on 2018-09-10 15:27 mircea_popescu: but i seriously do not see the need for a "web" to support this nonsense. they'd be much better served by a single pravda.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in the sense of 'couldve looked for honest work!' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re paracetamol << lulzily, asciilifeform's 1st paying jerb was in a lab where studied inflammatory cascades. and legend had it that in very same room paracetamol was (by entirely unrelated folx, long ago) 1st tested .
