BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> speaking of which, BingoBoingo you ARE making cozy with dc tech people rite ? taking them out to smoke & crimping them to pot or w/e it is they do socially there ? << Fairly friendly with them now that Rodrigo (Fellow who decided to be the point man in the February affair, ben_vulpes met) is gone. ☟︎
asciilifeform: if i knew how to do errything without vlsi, that can be done with, i'd be having tea with mircea_popescu in the palace on neighbouring hill, perhaps.
asciilifeform: possible that my hands do not grow from correct place, or possible that if mircea_popescu had chinese gurl, she could steal the missing datashit..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i sat down and worked through it on several occasions, most recently during gossipd thread; prior to that, when i was in slave galley and tore own hair out with juniperism; and prior...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is always possible that i am wrong about some ( who knows, all ) piece. sorta why it is good to have dozen d00dz, vs 1 or 2, with hands growing from correct place
asciilifeform: observe that trb in fact worx pretty well, even though mircea_popescu did not lay cable.
asciilifeform: i daren't to presume to know whether biznis-requisite, that's a 100% mircea_popescu-grade puzzler.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: arguably. at one time asic was too costly even for the telcos to deploy en masse, and it was possible to do without. sorta like in mining.
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.
asciilifeform: i dun disagree with mircea_popescu one bit, in re 'juniper/cisco Must Die'. but their death cannot be made from shoe string and bubble gum.

a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 18:54 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if we had any fab capacity to speak of, these'd be the priority items : 1) large homogeneous fpga 2) otp roms 3) 1+2
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 15:48 mircea_popescu: however, before you make dies you gotta know what you put in ; and i know of no other way to find out.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is almost certainly possible to razor a zero or even two, from the 'ratecard', if you can make friends in cn (or even tw, or kr)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: entirely so, but these won't http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-04#1847426 ☝︎
asciilifeform: would need 1) fab capability 2) substantial time, unless mircea_popescu has a coupla qualified pairs of hands up his sleeve to assist
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so ? i see your junkl and raise you our junk : http://nosuchlabs.com/fg/fg_small.jpg

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what means 'test' here ? they'll put customer traffic through it instead of juniper ?
asciilifeform: but this already was formalized by mircea_popescu as gossipd variant.
asciilifeform: trinque: am i thick, and mircea_popescu right ? how do i bake a 'sucks less than juniper' while being stuck with off-the-shelf nic ic ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so we're talking , approx, 'juniper but w/out the ftmeade magic key' ?
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 15:07 mircea_popescu: diana_coman can i get you behind this "iptables are for amateurs" line ?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 06:28 mircea_popescu: do you understand the crystal ball problem ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for all i know, they have a microshit antivirus also plugged in. should we then also attempt 'better one' of these as well ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let's expand on this. what specific functionality would you want in such a device ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i know this, had the misfortune of buying'em, plugging in, fiddling.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: correct.
asciilifeform: ( iirc mircea_popescu knew this long ago )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: serious floods are a problem not at the level of our rack, but upstream
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: another important fact to remember : ip rules inevitably slow traffic.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman thinking logically : either this is a problem or it isn't. if it is a problem, then it should be handled upstream not by server.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman can i get you behind this "iptables are for amateurs" line ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: collectively.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i used nothing at all. given as bandwidth hogs dun seem to ever have any trouble coming up with ~infinite new ip proxies.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 14:34 mircea_popescu: well this promises to be a serio0us problem that can't be winged, but will require some thought ; in part because i don't directly see the difference ; and in part because i don't really think a machine without a functioning way to limit access to it is actually seaworthy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'iron babel' of x86 means that there is not and never has been such a thing as 'general purpose kernel'. there exist of course the fraudulent imitations, of shituntu etc. where they roll in 500MB of ??? 'all possible modules' , but it is beneath contempt
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i still dunget why it has to be issue, usb hub can be dialed down to desired speed with method described on FG www pg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: note that this kernel is tailored to dulap-style box (i.e. amd, and with that particular raid card)
trinque: diana_coman: that's going to have speed implications for anyone attaching an external drive, neh?
mircea_popescu: alright. so basically, we have a july latest-kernel from alf at http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/conf_current.conf << diana_coman trinque erryone else interested read and see if it works for you / comment ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for rk , separate, and recently updated ( pending publication )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for x86 -- yes
a111: Logged on 2018-08-01 21:28 diana_coman: after reading around on this mess with the usb speeds, the summary + questions would be: 1. the dwc_otg seems actually specific to raspberry pi so I don't see how it's directly useful atm; am I missing something? 2. the manual/runtime pill so far relies on the companion mechanism to force a USB port down from "high speed" to "full speed" so basically from ehci to uhci/ohci; wouldn't it make more sense to blacklist ehci, xhci and whatever
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: july 11, 1300 hrs , '18
a111: Logged on 2018-07-12 15:36 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: asciilifeform's old kernel consists of hand-selected modules, corresponding to dulap-III irons, config can be seen here, http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/conf_current.conf
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc i posted the config, lessee, :
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is entirely so, take a look at the kernel config list sometime, it is a riot of ???
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fwiw it comes by default with all asciilifeform-prepared boxen nao, incl. all new rk customer.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you copy kernel from the 2nd smg box, you get iptables.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: aah we're speaking of the april box
trinque: diana_coman: mind throwing me your kernel .config for comparison with mine?
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 14:16 diana_coman: asciilifeform, trinque in case it helps, the kernel option I need to turn on in order to be able to run iptables on the smg machine is networking support/networking options/network packet filtering framework/core netfilter configuration/netfilter xtables support
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-04#1847258 << diana_coman i was under the (possibly mistaken) impression that i built smg box with iptables-able kernel. but was not ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: diana_coman 's thing above serving as a "no less than" seeing how minigame is a major downstream adopter ; and the usual "more loc ?! fu!" as a "no more than" driver.
trinque: iirc diana_coman is running an asciilifeform kernel, but I think alf approaches kernels similarly to me: "nothing broke when I turned this off, so off" until that heuristic bumps into something. going to be different bumps in different deployments.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i have any idea of what you want from the logs, but can we come up with some specifics so i have some kind of framework as to work with
a111: Logged on 2018-07-14 16:31 mircea_popescu: smoking nervously in the corner, cazalla mother[m] valentinbuza zineKing zx2c4 etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: interesting
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thread specifically re usa inmates, tho
a111: Logged on 2018-08-11 03:26 mircea_popescu: also stop putting egg in bread. egg is for cozonac, aranygaluska/monkeybread etc, sweetbreads.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-26 14:56 mircea_popescu: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-11#1736154 you know us citizen can't get into turkey for love or money ?
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 15:53 mircea_popescu: in fact, thinking about it, me and you might be the ONLY TO people present who've even ever been inside a mosque
a111: Logged on 2018-08-30 13:22 mircea_popescu: the overarching point being that neither #trilema nor tmsr is a sort of dilbert-larping-zone, here for the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845588 "salaried zek" element to gather after hours, smoke, and predictably if circularly discuss how-stupid-everyone-but-us-is.

a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 17:31 mircea_popescu: they didn't merely lose the sale ; but specifically sov-style she was "asked to leave".
asciilifeform: can use electric compressor, as mircea_popescu's photo, but these are finnicky & expensive, need regular oiling
mircea_popescu: anyway, https://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server2200/84dac/product_images/uploaded_images/nc-20-industrial-web.jpg << 6k psi item not so big deal
Mocky: mircea_popescu, it's not new just sitting unused. I'll use blog, yes. If I find a use for the alternate, will be ready to go
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: giant artillery is a fertile field , imho ( take for instance the concept of evacuated barrel. impressive results even among basement aficionados with air rifles, in these )
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 01:53 mircea_popescu: time to learn that there's a time to grease, if one aims to avoid anal rape lubed in own blood.
asciilifeform: i recall a thread where mircea_popescu contracted a foundry to make a whipping fixture or what was it, because argentines can't make anyffing
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 17:31 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846877 << this is nothing. girl got sent (to major us metropolitan area) to scout for specific sex shop items. returned list of "best sex shops" in early stage. upon review of their "online store" it was discovered a) they are 100% cheap-ass white label crap, exactly indistinct from what douchebag would run and b) entirtely not representative of 1% of the stock of the brick and mortar store.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what happened at that bancomat ?
Mocky: mircea_popescu, ok!
hanbot: mircea_popescu hanbot also had a good chuckle when diana_coman's kiddo found the backseat stash: "i've found a thing!"

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846904 << ask diana_coman about that rum. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 16:24 diana_coman: to me apple stuff is still essentially a fashion item and yes, usually that comes with insanity as far as I can tell
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 16:25 diana_coman: in principle yes; in practice, I'm not sure anymore where does scrubbing end essentially
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 15:50 asciilifeform: diana_coman: on one hand, it makes for straight recipe for cuntoo lappy; but on other, it would still be slightly syphilitic , i.e. not wholly scrubbed of googlism
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: Sent 2 hours and 53 minutes ago: <Mocky_phone> my internet went down last night. helpful cable guy scheduled to show up on tuesday

asciilifeform: ( since mircea_popescu is asleep, i'ma have to put in placeholder for the oblig thread, [ m: 'you deserve this for working for a living, idjit' a: '...' ] )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fashions aside, if you're misfortunate enuff to need a recent x86-64 lappy where can attach large external displays, wifi, etc without aeons of config tweaking and flaky, yer stuck with crapple
asciilifeform: diana_coman: at least that one's scrubbable, rather than in drm rom
asciilifeform: diana_coman: on one hand, it makes for straight recipe for cuntoo lappy; but on other, it would still be slightly syphilitic , i.e. not wholly scrubbed of googlism ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'ma let mircea_popescu make the call re whether these finds add up to a 'let's make lappys' or not yet.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: to be very specific, i did not properly break cr50. what i found instead was an apparently-Official (albeit undocumented) knob in the most recent fw release, which does equiv of rma unlock ( sets all of the permission bits for console ) and enables spi bus access, through which can r/w the main and ec fw turds.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 18:28 mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : minigame was going to work both an infinite-items and an infinite-lands update ; they kinda need the new client protocol (mostly to do on-demand content delivery) ; which is waiting for... cuntoo!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa also when they pillage they find 'whole 20k usd' and not 20mil, for same reason
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: last week << '2 years ago' in text
