asciilifeform: more instructive than 1,001 lines from me explaining.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: obtain and open an 'ipnohe'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you mean 'take the crap out'

asciilifeform: entirely separate process

asciilifeform: we were speaking of 'jailbreak'

asciilifeform: (apple only sells unlocked phones, for some time now)

asciilifeform: entirely separate matter

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we are NOT speaking of 'unlocking'

asciilifeform: with metastasis throughout

asciilifeform: there is a massive multi-GB bolus of shit

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is not a 'normal item'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gotta find exploit in the firmware (typically, the bootloader, if you want the 'rooting' to persist across power cycles)

asciilifeform: which tends to take a while.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unless you want to discover your own pwnhole

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'rooting' ipnohe is complicated. not in the sense of 'how to do it', it is braindamagedly easy. BUT you have to run a multi-MB closed turd. which installs ???????.

asciilifeform: mats: sucks for plebe. but have you tried having $1B there ?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408268 << same thing as in su - anything from intact copper pipes, to the five specialists who still know how to make neutron tubes for fissile initiators ☝︎

asciilifeform: all day, every day.

asciilifeform: iirc ben_vulpes programs for ipnohe.

asciilifeform: as per your 'hollywood waitress' article.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lottery

asciilifeform: the model was pioneered by game console makers.

asciilifeform: when i say 'nintendo' this is what it means.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: on ipnohe, the loader only loads signed bins. and the crapplestore only hosts same. i thought this was well known.

asciilifeform: who, you know - sign the binary

asciilifeform: the censors.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: crapple follows the nintendo model, your thing won't even be considered by the censors unless you hold an account

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rats orbiting $100M houses of the lottery winners aha

asciilifeform: how not ?

asciilifeform: saudis had the west, within certain limits, by the balls since '70s

asciilifeform: no longer plan their whole lives with an eye towards retiring in palo alto ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is telling me that orc chieftains no longer send their children as hostages to the humans ?

asciilifeform: wtfwut?

asciilifeform: ~now~ i'm lost

asciilifeform: actually i have a very clear model of how orcs relate to humans

asciilifeform: but how's this play in

asciilifeform: lulzily.

asciilifeform: actually my first paying job involved gnarly particulars of immune response

asciilifeform: hm?

asciilifeform: the answer, as far as i can see, is that usg has the politburo in both cases by the balls, they all have swiss accounts 'which could have problems' if they don't play ball.

asciilifeform: copyrasty is pretty simple to understand. all of the money flows into usa. tribute.

asciilifeform: cn is paying for motherfucking arm cpu license.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408258 << on the other hand, the only reason usa has any spending money at all is the international copyrasty treaty system. if it falls apart, game over. instantly. ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: then ru likewise. and with similar caveats.

asciilifeform: civ ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let's try an easier case, e.g., japan

asciilifeform: saw this in the fishwrap this morning and ignored.

asciilifeform: ^ l0l crapple playing 'good cop'

asciilifeform: but because the most terrifying thing, to the rotten west, is a viable alternate civ.

asciilifeform: the brzezinski are not concerned with it because it is an economic giant (such as, e.g., cn)

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408239 << ru getting up off its knees and spitting out the 1990s cock it swallowed during eltsin, would have happened anyway. simply happened to land on obamitler's desk ☝︎

asciilifeform: this is not only deliberate but is implicit in the very idea.

asciilifeform: the only thing v does without cranking is to accurately represent longest-chain-signed-by-these-here-folks

asciilifeform: hand-cranked gardens like mod6's - might

asciilifeform: v doesn't do substitutions.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, for instance, appears to have mistook it for the current ver

asciilifeform: phf: i see the rationale, but you keeping these on www right alongside the working versions, is quite certain to confuse folks.

asciilifeform: phf ^ ?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408036 << this is the old, broken version, why is it here ? ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408095 << what is this crud - x86, and i7 no less, the one with the hidden nsa core, wtf, if i wanted this, could walk into any shop on the planet and buy. ☝︎

asciilifeform: the split was carefully deliberate.

asciilifeform: part1 is the bridge. part2 is the only place where trb per se is touched, where the hooks are inserted.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408030 << it had own genesis to establish pedigree with the historic tinyscheme. but shiva is a patch that bridges it into the trb tree. and yes i rebased it, it works with the current trb. ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: why not cranked lantern?

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: where do these go ?

asciilifeform: neato!

asciilifeform: the way people 'marry' bricks, forks, the color purple.

asciilifeform: in a strictly psychiatric sense.

asciilifeform: but this has distinct down-sides.

asciilifeform: yes, one can marry cow.

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: but that is precisely the picture you have drawn: keyless cow.

asciilifeform: how does wife relay ?

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: and after you wed the bayonet on the field ?

asciilifeform: srsly

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: how do you issue an order, or take a dispatch, from a keyless animal ?

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: unless you are a telepath, you might want to remotely operate the wife and need key

asciilifeform: keyless wife is liable to get switcheroo'd, also

asciilifeform: (for n00bz, old s0ng, of a soldier to a raven who is picking at his still-living flesh)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A7%D1%91%D1%80%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD_(%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BD%D1%8F) << src

asciilifeform: ('i took a bride, quiet and modest, in the field, under a bush, sharp saber was my matchmaker, bayonet - my best man')

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: since we're doing ru theme today, then, pertinently, 'Взял невесту тиху-скромну В чистом поле под кустом, Остра шашка была свашкой,— Штык булатный был дружком.'

asciilifeform: just, not accepting new connections, nor processing tx.

asciilifeform: a blackholed trb does not fall silent, but actually is maintaining links with a number of existing peers (bouncing inv's, etc)

asciilifeform: curiously enough, it turns out that,

asciilifeform: which has been in a black hole state, about 90% of the time, for the past hour.

asciilifeform: on zoolag, to be specific

asciilifeform: tcpdump -nnXSs 0 port 8333

asciilifeform: i spent a good spell watching tcpdump with eyeballs

asciilifeform: sooooo

asciilifeform: for the lack of other hypothesis ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suppose i underestimated the power of the magical nobody-giving-half-a-fuck field

asciilifeform: mega-blackhole-action today, incidentally.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: https://cryptome.org/2016/02/brown-0070.pdf << for possible reprocessing into loltronium ?

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i never saw any reason to believe anything from the mouth of mr spam

asciilifeform: !up so

asciilifeform: waiwut

asciilifeform: gotta love the old sack of shit, never disappoints.
