mats: http://log.b-a.link/?date=07-04-2015#1090422 << similar gig as you, i imagine: working for 'the man' in compartmentalized ops, churning out weaponized exploits and such.
nubbins`: Suddenly, somebody pushed his way through.  Margaret turned and said "Oh, hi Mike," and smiled broadly.  "This was Misha's birthday," the man said, referring to the Trudeaus' youngest son Michel, who died two years ago.  Her face froze and she burst into tears.  She turned around and quickly walked away.  "It's Michel's birthday today," she said in a strained voice to those around her. "I didn't remember." Michel, the youngest of her
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i don't get what the issue is. can you summarize ?

mircea_popescu: oh i c
nubbins`: i'll be seeing this guy
nubbins`: o fun, i'll be in cleve-land thne
nubbins`: i saved my entire bitcoind dir from the successful build, so i know precisely which boost headers and libs are needed
mircea_popescu: on the "compile time" front, i'm happy to announce eulora got tested on ancient athlon i + 768 mb ram and ancient nvidia 5k series vid card. it compiles in like an hour, and runs.
nubbins`: i know *what* to do -- rip out unused parts of boost with bcp -- but i keep cracking eggshells in the batter
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i took it you were working on teh instructions
nubbins`: ben_vulpes:perhaps i am behind the times, but is there a buildroot config that's been passed around? <<< it's a bit of a frankenstein... i run make pogoplug_defconfig and then i run make nconfig to set a handful of extra flags
nubbins`: altho fwiw i suspect tftp-boot just hangs if there's no kernel present on the wire
nubbins`: i did indeed report one

asciilifeform: i'll let herr woodcollector decide if this counts as 'by hand'.
decimation: I suspect mostly hand placed
asciilifeform: i have trouble believing they put 0805 resistors on by hand, ever
asciilifeform: at any rate, this is not 'woodcollector' and i don't much give a hoot -how- the parts get on the board
decimation: asciilifeform: I suspect retired old women who worked in electronics assembly
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu ok, i'll keep crackin'
decimation: they are 'angel funded' but I think he said they can turn a profit at current prices
decimation: I suspect they pay good rates for competent techs
asciilifeform: decimation: their 'hand-placed' probably involves a mechanically-cranked apparatus. or someone with much better hands than i
mircea_popescu: i think the structure's copied after wp-config or /we the file is called where wp keeps its password in plaintext.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i did indeed, though you're right that i should fiddle with those values because there's a reasonable chance i got them wrong!
asciilifeform: joecool: phison is a maker of cheap usb keychain drives that contain general-purpose micros. an ad hoc sdk was published recently. i had something quite like it, unpublished, in 2012; and hell knows how many other folks also did
joecool: my ancient eeepc 901 had phison ssd's in it, first ssd's i ever had
joecool: phison, now that's a name i haven't heard in awhile
Vexual: here i remember when that kid rode in on a tricycle
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu so i finally mod'd your fix_trackbacks.php, uploaded it, and... it doesn't even show up. now i'm supposed to call customer support or some shit

mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: decimation from what i've seen, the deal with iran is exactly like the deal with cuba and every other deal conquered US has entered into :
decimation: ^ to be clear, I have edgerouter, not 'airmax'
mircea_popescu: i really dunno why we'd give a shit.
asciilifeform: decimation: i bet there is obfuscation. so dynamic analysis might be appropriate
asciilifeform: i still don't get this:
asciilifeform: i have one, yes. but not the time.
mircea_popescu: i thought for a moment they had three copies.
decimation: I think you can download the 'open source' turds from ubquiti
asciilifeform: though i can't fathom they'd have the gall to try censoring uboot as 'warez'
mircea_popescu: like if i behead you i might not get any pancreas tissue on the blade.
mircea_popescu: ^ i had no idea cerf was also a poet.
mircea_popescu: For auld lang syne, for love, for years and years of faithful service, duty done, I weep. Lay down thy packet, now, O friend, and sleep.
asciilifeform: i think i can see why ubiquiti was picked for this particular role in the usg shitgnome muppet theatre
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I have/had plans to acquire one
asciilifeform: i bet reflash fails silently if done from edgeos
mircea_popescu: no i saw that.
decimation: ^I have 'edgemax'
asciilifeform: a standard jtag probe of whatever kind you're partial to (i like 'bus blaster') and a copy of openocd is all you need
decimation: that's what I was wondering
asciilifeform: (how old one behaves with regards to replacing uboot, i cannot say)
decimation: yeah I think I have one somewhere
asciilifeform: and i think someone else ( danielpbarron ? )
ben_vulpes: perhaps i am behind the times, but is there a buildroot config that's been passed around?
decimation: yeah, I'm not sure where to probe
decimation: I guess I can qemu
decimation: but then I would need a mips64 build host
asciilifeform: decimation: this, among other reasons, is why i live in a particular not altogether-pleasant place..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought the pattern was, 'don't need men, only their dough' ?
Vexual: you know, when i saw it first, i thought it was meant to be glenn stevens
decimation: asciilifeform: heh, I'm not sure if I'm running 'airos' on my edgerouter
asciilifeform: though i hesitate to let ietf be a canonical copy of anything at this point - even this...
asciilifeform: ELIZA: What makes you think I am entitled to my own opinion?
mircea_popescu: "if you conceivably have to forward my stuff to anyone, get off the line, i'm important."
asciilifeform: 'From my conversations with Ubiquiti, I have found that they claimed that it's alright to refuse to provide source code to GPL-licensed software if "This decision was taken with the security of the users in mind". Furthermore, my conversations were endlessly delayed by the supposed necessity to forward my query to another, unnamed, team.' << now we can probably say what. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i am quite certain of having seen something quite like this before. and i knew that ~x
mircea_popescu: i mean the specific "error are you x" thing.
mircea_popescu: those i saw
asciilifeform: they used to follow a similar pattern, e.g., 'this post is a very astute commentary on the subject, i should like to read another like it, please carry on the good work' etc.
mircea_popescu: i dun think i saw this set b4.
asciilifeform: i get idiocy like this all the time.

pete_dushenski: mark my words, one day i will!
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu aite, if it's not in your filter, it's not there. i guess we'll just have to blog platforms to the list of 'internet pillars to rebuild'
mircea_popescu: mebbe i need a repricocity phee.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it may be the filter, i dunno. kinda impossibru to debug from my side.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have a kind of image of just this animal in my head. but not earthling elephant, but the creature from '5th elephant' who i think of as 'desk elephant', or, alternatively, 'lisp elephant'
