nubbins`: epson has a wic reset utility but it doesn't cover newer printers
shinohai: oh so you need a wic reset program ?
nubbins`: but i think this is bullshit and i don't want to pay some company $7 every time i want to reset a counter
nubbins`: for newer printers, you generally get a free "wic reset" program and then purchase keys (~$7ea in quantity) that are good for single resets
nubbins`: inkjet printers have waste ink counters that are incremented when you do a head cleaning
trinque: I might be crazy, but I *think* my dream mobile device is nothing but a terminal emulator that can ssh elsewhere
decimation: it appears to be from a point of sale terminal
shinohai: I had never even heard of a pogo before.
trinque: you could give the buildroot instructions a whirl for the pogo
shinohai: Maybe one day I'll be so hardcore I can run it on a TI
trinque slaps shinohai with a trout
mod6: you're gonna get a pogo going? i still need to get a chance to get mine fired up.
shinohai: My sync is complete. My next project is a few mini nodes.
mod6: Not of this moment, ... there was a completion of a full sync completed with asciilifeform's OrphanageThermonuke & TX Orphanage Amputation patches applied to v0.5.3.1-RELEASE. Nmon charts can be found here: http://thebitcoin.foundation/test/perf/v0_5_3_1-RELEASE-Plus-OrphanageThermonuke-And-TXOrphanageAmputation/20150604/
mod6: I'm gonna try a few other things, might need to get this figured out on another machine. We'll see.
mod6: Update on gentoo build on physical box: so trinque & I worked on trying to get this Grub situtation figured out for quite a while lastnight. Seems that maybe something with grub2 doesn't like my hardware. Grub 0.9x is no longer supported... so I dunno.
trinque: there's a state air national guard base nearby
decimation: like a eurocopter dolphin https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e7/USCG_MH-65C_Helicopter_6608_photo_D_Ramey_Logan.jpg
trinque: nah, this was painted all a muted gray, different shape, bulkier
decimation: ah. was it a bell jet ranger? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_206#/media/File:LAPD_Bell_206_Jetranger.jpg
shinohai: I live near a small airport, so I am used to hearing planes.
trinque: should've taken a pic
decimation: trinque: if it was just a tube sticking out in front it is probably for mid-air refueling (assuming it is military)
decimation: asciilifeform: http://imgur.com/a/yEwTt < internals of that termtek 635 serial terminal
shinohai: no. I am attempting to build a worthy bot. I was inspired by danielpbarron's node project - to use this minaturized wizardry to construct a dedicated pr0n node....
trinque: has it been stress tested with a wide sampling of asses?
mircea_popescu: a k

mircea_popescu: funny how the memory hole effect works - people capable of spotting it in a field where they're remotely trained still fall for it in ALL.OTHER.FIELDS.
mircea_popescu: "Like many (too many) other features in Wikipedia, the cite templates were created by a handful of enthusiastic editors without a clear analysis of cost/benefits, and posted by them as if they were a "consensus" --- which they most emphatically are *not*. Then many other editors started using them in the mistaken impression that they are somehow good for Wikipedia --- which they most emphatically are *not*. I used to d
mircea_popescu: today i learned there's a .tn
decimation: none of the guides I saw mention using a torque driver
ascii_modem: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2015#1156199 << -if- you know how. otherwise it's a waste of precious and entirely nonrenewable resource (model m) ☝︎☟︎
ascii_modem: 'anthropic principle' of a kind
decimation: herr stoppler is a 'pirate party' member
decimation: asciilifeform: I have a model m on order, should arrive soon
thestringpuller: ^- someone's in a good mood today
kalki: well It's going - its a bit tough, but that is welcome considering that before I was limited to the level of discussion that happens on twitter or various "btc news" sites... I love the word, and REALLY appreciate the use of it I find in these circles... love the challenge - just hope I get a grip and feel confident enough as far as understanding the depths/possibilities/threats etc of what is happeningbefore the rocket leaves
kalki: Just a person been looking at btc since late 2013... eventually discovered Trilema, contravex, and qntra, which led me here... now just trying to learn to swim in the deeper water
shinohai: So I found this http://danielpbarron.com/pogo-howto.txt on your site danielpbarron, and I just so happen to have a few spare drives already.
williamdunne: I probably should be complaining about one particular exchange, but I'll give them a little more time to fix it, and if they don't I'll be calling them out on their bullshit
asciilifeform off to meatspace for a spell
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if it's a s33kr17 k00l d00dz hidey-hole, this is a well-kept s33kr17
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 19:04:36; *: asciilifeform admits that he suspects bip64 of being a plot to create usg-like bonds in btc. folks will be asked to trace X proper btc for X+epsilon 'locked' ones that are to land back in their pocket 'in the future', should they live long enough, but are actually recovable 'because this is how the world works'
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 19:06:33; asciilifeform: bip64, aside from complicating the protocol and giving relevance to the gavin shitgang, is also a jam-tomorrow chumpatronic engineering structural element
asciilifeform: shinohai: pray tell, what is a 'libertarian of the wost kind' ?
asciilifeform: with plastic rivets, they had, presumably, a vacuum plate (think 'air hockey' table in reverse) and a hot iron.
asciilifeform: with bolts, somebody's gotta sit there with a dynamometer wrench and do the deed
asciilifeform: the membrane (yes, there is a membrane deep inside 'model m') must be pressed to the steel 'anvil' evenly in all places, as far as is possible
mircea_popescu: wtf who ever thought "o look, this zamac is too strong! we need a shittier replacement!"
asciilifeform: tor is this thing where tcp is bounced via three machines, selected by shitgnomiferous mega-turd of a client, over ssl (ditto)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2015#1156099 << what in the name of satan is a 'space cadet' ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: i don't give a fuck how many gold rings tor users are wearing.
asciilifeform finally grasped the point of the 'bolt mod' for 'ibm model m' keyboard. was cleaning one that has not been cleaned in a decade. keys, chassis - easy, tub of dish detergent, three days. mechanism - washed in nonpolar organics. and that's when a dozen plastic rivets fell right off.
shinohai: It's a lot of java, if that alone isn't enough for me to have never really study it.
copypaste: Hard to use and hogs RAM. Requires a significant investment of bandwidth as well
mircea_popescu: "install our buggy windows software, become part of a botnet"
mircea_popescu: eh, this'd be a lot harder hitting if you know... people didn't use retarded shit like whatever that thing was bothering copypaste
asciilifeform: the very notion that there is any 'detection of malicious exits' worth half a sparrow's fart in the wind, or could be, is lunacy
asciilifeform: it's a rather obvious question
asciilifeform: shinohai: since you did link it... here's a mega-question for 'tor' enthusiasts. what's to stop a 'malicious' (diddles traffic) node from routing its circuits -back into tor-, and having some other exit end up looking like the guilty party ?
mircea_popescu: by now phuctor's dredged up enough material for a spy novel. "what does muryokoin temple, the australian pirate party and debian/gnu have in common ?"
mircea_popescu: kinda surprised you dun know it by name, on the grounds that afaik it's the only people doing what you do for a living, outside of russia
mircea_popescu: it's a retreat for some high level computer prograsmmers.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2015#1155952 << it could be made to mill finer but only with addition of particular apparatus. which can just as well be added as a standalone different mill being fed the prequalified choice grains. so let it be, we get to it once the world fails at doing anything useful with its time yet again, in a year or w/e. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2015#1155945 << eh come on. we arrange for you to move in with one of the dc area sluts for a coupla months, save on rent :D ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform shockingly enough, the muryokoin in muryokoin.org is a... temple in koyasan
shinohai: I can see the advantages of a from-scratch board tho. I have seen various forms of this with arduinos, et all. But that leaves open the possibility of the hardware you are building on being compromised.
assbot: S.NSA first product - The Cardano on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1ARLsZ5 )
assbot: 514 results for 'cardano' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=cardano
asciilifeform: the restless folks are also invited to visit #b-a (or my personal mailbox, gpg plz.)
mircea_popescu: sounds liek a plan
mircea_popescu: if they run with it, a well. what's called a write-off.
mircea_popescu: this is a business, not a tech decision. they've not run with a hundred, can be trusted with a k.
mircea_popescu: an you judge that ordering a few boards to produce a few prototype cardanos is not useful data ?
mircea_popescu: yes yes but the sapper doesn't get to contemplate his fate for too long and remain a sapper.
mircea_popescu: what, they're a dollar a pop ?
mircea_popescu: i can arrange for them to get a wire, what's teh big deal.
mircea_popescu: you know, seeing how they seem to replace defects etc, it would not be the end of the world to blow a few btc on just ordering that half dozen as is
mircea_popescu: so basically, you're preparing a more mf-friendly board design (mostly to improve testability) and intend to have them try make half a dozen or something ?
asciilifeform: i mean that we have a pad defect rate of about 15 percent.
mircea_popescu: so, didja mean a fedect free batch ? or else did all the items meanwhile turn defective /
assbot: Logged on 06-06-2015 06:16:02; mircea_popescu: yes, moduli that it flags should be put through a proper factorization. this is a task a) separate from what phuctor does and b) to be done indepentently of what phuctor does.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2015#1155850 << not quite. it's a mill of sorts, and it could be made to grind finer grain with minimal effort. ☝︎
asciilifeform: e.g., -imagine- i pull the trigger and am out of several 10e3 usd. i now have half a dozen complete units. none of them function. what have i learned? that i am retarded? or that there is a solder void beneath a different decoupling capacitor on each board, summing up to a dud in each case but indistinguishable with my instruments
asciilifeform: if i get a crate of duds on account of manufacturing defect, that's one thing, they take it back, try to fix. this costs months of added delay, but can live with
asciilifeform: i must point out, for what is probably the seventh or eighth time, that i have no safe means of selling any bitcoin whatsoever while i live in usa. (selling for paper money, theoretically possible and suicidally dangerous, does precisely nothing to offset ANY of my living OR engineering expenses.) THEREFORE entire operation is financed from my fiat salary. this imposes certain constraints, and a 'measure seven-thousand seven-h
cazalla: nice, i like em about that size shinohai, maybe a little less but all good
mircea_popescu remembers a quainter time, back when to be a leader one first had to be followed. a time when "being certified" was another way to say "being insane". stuff like that.
mircea_popescu: to understand why, think of someone making a map. he doesn't ask "does this rock benefit anyone or may i just omit it from my map ?" because while the thing may not benefit, the omission sinks ships.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2015#1155723 << this is bad design in principle, merely asking this question. if you visualise the stuff of design as a graph, what this does is introduce a cyclicity in it, which makes the graph no longer computable, or for that matter usable. ☝︎

assbot: Logged on 06-06-2015 01:00:02; trinque: williamdunne: on the one hand there's a superficial "did I make it do something, and did it 'work'"

mircea_popescu: let anyone with a clue (tm) do it themselves, it doesn't take much more brain than what a chicken has to cluck at the freshly disturbed ground for that's where the worms are.
mircea_popescu: yes, moduli that it flags should be put through a proper factorization. this is a task a) separate from what phuctor does and b) to be done indepentently of what phuctor does. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: lol you're in the position of someone who made a moon exploration vessel, discovered life on the moon and is now kicking himself for not having included a condom factory in the ship.
