asciilifeform: if anyone had the time & patience.

asciilifeform: (2) ought to be, in principle, mechanically resolvable.

asciilifeform: so far there are only really 2 genuine mysteries -- 1) who generated the mirrored keys 2) which winblowz turd of a pgptron used unfiltered sewage for rsa modulus

asciilifeform: paid up from '96 through 2018.

asciilifeform: fixtures!

asciilifeform: l0L!!

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and strafing aboriginals, dunforget

asciilifeform: (why not simply launch rocket from the earth is an exercise for the reader...)

asciilifeform: they were, at least in principle, built to go up quickly, launch rocket, and then die

asciilifeform: or, for that matter, built to last

asciilifeform: esp not when acrobatic

asciilifeform: long, proud tradition !11111

asciilifeform: iirc these regularly explode -- sometimes into audience, as in rammstein

asciilifeform: eh no

asciilifeform: mowed the grass, if you prefer.

asciilifeform: (half hour in !)

asciilifeform: Moduli Waiting for Test: 712

asciilifeform: ah hm we did didn't we.

asciilifeform: (otherwise smacks of the mormon practice of 'converting' the dead)

asciilifeform: probably best to treat this find as archaeological, rather than as part of actual wot

asciilifeform: sr had a standardized rating system ?!

asciilifeform: this - always.

asciilifeform: ;;seen Framedragger ☟︎

asciilifeform: 'luck favours prepared mind' (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: 1 hand is always reserved for chance finds.

asciilifeform: at least now i have 15 of 16 shiva hands free again.

asciilifeform: which is to say, it sits and waits for me! grrrrrr

asciilifeform: but so far this works, in most cases, like the punkman thing 'worked.'

asciilifeform: so it can go and happen without me touching it.

asciilifeform: my idea was, here, to give it to the 'one legged' folk.

asciilifeform: as for where useful - pretty much anywhere cheap nonx86 server thing is called for.

asciilifeform: posted for aspiring pogotronicists.

asciilifeform: ~1h.

asciilifeform: it isn't priority. discovered that thing exists, bought, determined pinout, published diagram, put thing in crate for later.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in other oildrums of fluidz, we have tty on new b0x.

asciilifeform: this also.

asciilifeform: but if watchman is a drunk, healthy man is stuck with job

asciilifeform: aha!

asciilifeform: iirc it was public somewhere ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if all it is, is a tarball of crud, i can pry out the pgp keyz myself ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu still suffering from his sinus thing ?

asciilifeform: lel, when ever did mp give out free shitz, you pay in body fluidz

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: not everybody wants to play in same box, i suppose.

asciilifeform: i have nfi.

asciilifeform: along with funkenstein, thestringpuller, fluffypony, and kakobrekla

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he's mostly inhabiting the ruinz

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu sks-2016 sawed apart (took ~30 hrs) and now pumping in.

asciilifeform: in other nyooz,

asciilifeform: you can buy reasonably fast ones but the bus is a bottleneck and their cost approaches that of proper ssd.

asciilifeform: sd is optimized for camera (light duty, short bursts of write)

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: the one pogo item missing is the sd slot - which imho was ~useless.

asciilifeform: fwiw.

asciilifeform: unlike pogo with hdd in its strange angular cradle, these things will handily fit in that colo rack BingoBoingo had subscribed to, where they give you five inch pedestals.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: thing can be, apparently, booted from tftp, pogo-style.

asciilifeform: only that 1 blinkenlight tho, not counting the nic jack's.

asciilifeform: thing has a buncha unpopulated gpio's.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: thing has no 'aux storage' other than a big internal coffin for 2.5" hdd, external sata jack, and some usb.

asciilifeform: (it has unpopulated pads for what appears to be additional usb jacks and a switch)

asciilifeform: this great mystery.

asciilifeform: and said led isn't even really visible from outside the chassis

asciilifeform: the daughterboard appears to have only 1 led on it, and nothing else!

asciilifeform: trinque: little thing, on underside of pcb.

asciilifeform: ^ alert reader will notice that the 'mycloud' DOES have a working rtc battery.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu was not wrong: 'web'-style programming is slowly spreading everywhere.

asciilifeform: (back when it booted)

asciilifeform: more hilariously, the FIRST exception barf is NORMAL on the stock fw

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/8d12feaa-cb19-4c6c-ba79-eda5f9c905b9 << what we get now.

asciilifeform: on embedded box, running off cheap flash - surely

asciilifeform: that'd be all.

asciilifeform: kernel mounts its root partition (or tries to, mine no longer does!) - also like pogo. or your pc.

asciilifeform: like pogo.

asciilifeform: after that it load kernel from the next partition and boots that

asciilifeform: precisely like pogo did.

asciilifeform: somewhat analogous to, e.g., 'grub' on pc

asciilifeform: it boots from the bottom, into its chinese fork of widely-used loader 'uboot'

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: thing ships with a 256M flash, which is partitioned into pieces

asciilifeform: which... WHY THE FUCK would you.

asciilifeform: anyway thing oughta be safe to use so long as nand is never mounted r/w.

asciilifeform: tragicomedic.

asciilifeform: the only cure for these folks, i suspect. is to SPIN LIKE PROPELLERS on mircea_popescu's raging cock.

asciilifeform: CODE OF CONDUCT!!!!!!!

asciilifeform: MODERN!11111

asciilifeform: gotta love the poetteringola.

asciilifeform: the pathetic part is that my 'mycloud' appears to have nuked its own nand somehow (not, fortunately, the uboot, but the idiot fedora thing. apparently it was mounting itself read-write - on a motherfucking eeprom! - and didn't like being reset a dozen times when i fiddled with the probes)

asciilifeform: ah
