asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: concept alluded to was 'fits in head.' i suppose this is a good time and place to note that it can be accomplished in three basic ways: a) small system b) big head c) powerful hydraulic press
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this'd all benefit from a lot more documentation << which 'this'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-04-2015#1110915 << i still think this'd all benefit from a lot more documentation. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-04-2015#1110883 << ahaha this is a good one ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 25-04-2015 22:03:37; Naphex: asciilifeform: applets are applets and security issues are all around. being a good dev implies taking care with deploying your product
williamdunne: Hmm I can probably deal with it, I'll take a look
assbot: Bitcoin on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1HGiqNY )
assbot: Logged on 25-04-2015 23:32:46; pete_dushenski: williamdunne mebbe you could have scoopbot_revived post to a page on your site ?
assbot: 405 results for 'library' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=library
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: In a couple of days could you make your RSS feed show all bitcoin related articles for an hour or so?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-04-2015#1110745 << i lived in costa rica for a few years, so yeah. but never been much of a coffee drinker, so... whatevs! ☝︎

williamdunne: Anyone know a decent footnotes plugin for WP? ☟︎
trinque: I'd love a proper emacs mode which could more or less "eldoc" postgresql functions
Pierre_Rochard: williamdunne: had a similar head against wall bug yesterday, in pgsql: to_timestamp(‘2014-2’, ‘YYYY-Q’), doesn’t work because the docs clearly state “quarter (ignored by to_date and to_timestamp)” but it was three hours of desperate refactoring before I actually read them. ☟︎
Naphex: having a annonymous ip is dandy. but no way anywhere near as enough. you still have to implement most of the stuff i said above especially the filtering part
Naphex: local is always a threat as well, no matter where you airgap
Naphex: trinque: that's airgapped gpg. you can implement gpg all over. Not sure how much airgapping it helps. A lot of sidechannel attacks comming up nowadays that can grab keys ☟︎
trinque: Naphex: as far as what it means to have a fits-in-head system, please do read asciilifeform's material; he's far more qualified to say.
trinque: Naphex: here's a good example by the way of what can be done with what we have: http://mpex.co/faq.html#18
trinque: I can admire a survivor ingenuity, crafting spears from bamboo and all that

asciilifeform: chances are, you are looking at a sputtered surface right now.
asciilifeform: also visited a place where they did sputtering.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform ugh 'maintenance contracts'. perhaps the only thing more blood-sucking than a mortgage
menahem: pete_dushenski def, ill try <pre> as per ben_vulpes reco. always a work in progress. :)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it also matters, for what. usually these things need 3-phase mains, cooling water, often - a handy dewar with ln2, maintenance contract, etc.
menahem: pete_dushenski ive got a good assistant now.. freed up some time. ;) and agreed, my bad on the >>, it's an email thread.
asciilifeform: item in the chamber was, i think, a dragonfly
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell menahem re: http://chedr.ca/2015/04/your-emotions-are-irrelevant-and-youve-missed-the-point/ << 1. dunno why i didn't see the trackbacks from this... 2. kinda hard to read with all the >>>>s 3. a blogger is you!
assbot: Logged on 25-04-2015 22:27:41; ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> ;;later tell ben_vulpes http://imgur.com/a/xogco << back from this << oooh
williamdunne: Ideal, well I can definitely get that done, not a big job. I'll see if there is any standardized way to get RSS to provide a full history
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Very welcome. Not too big of a job
pete_dushenski: williamdunne exactly that. thanks for taking a look at this! damn you're useful.
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Sure, a #b-a library of sorts
williamdunne: What like a log of all blog posts
pete_dushenski: a blogpost repository of sorts for b-a
pete_dushenski: williamdunne mebbe you could have scoopbot_revived post to a page on your site ? ☟︎
assbot: Narrated video of the poem ‘Stop all the clocks (again)’ | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1E5ZoN2 )
asciilifeform: i mention it because i can imagine a world where such clocks are considered not only acceptable, but 'state of the art' and 'best practice' ☟︎

gabriel_laddel: Naphex: regarding security - read more. A few links that have turned up in the logs are available at http://gabriel-laddel.github.io/arsttep.html#sec-6-2-3
asciilifeform: trinque: '... if you actually cause them to understand it in the course of a discussion, you will only make them miserable and hate their lives. People are pretty good at detecting that this is a likely outcome of thinking, and it takes conscious effort to brace yourself and get through such experiences.'
trinque: but that should not keep him from imagining a better vessel
asciilifeform tried 'opensparc' and a number of smaller things, but not this
decimation: also some guy claims to have a working 'gnat' implementation http://sourceforge.net/projects/msp430ada/
decimation: msp430 actually is a decent candidate for small micro-controller of interest
asciilifeform recalls a number of these
decimation: need 100 in a 3u box
decimation: but 12 servers in a 3u box is lam
decimation: yeah but you can't go to dell,hp, and order a crate of arm boxes (to my knowledge)
asciilifeform: decimation: kakobrekla linked to a farm which takes orders even now, but i don't have the url handy
decimation: asciilifeform: supposedly there are moves to stuff thousands of little arm servers in a rack
assbot: Logged on 25-04-2015 21:39:55; trinque: what I'd love to see someday is a DC with no virtualization, just tinier boxes
decimation: as opposed to a 1u server you slip into the rack
decimation: typically the word 'blade' is used for a computer that's mounted vertically in the rack, in some kind of proprietary container
decimation: are you talking about a server that fits in 1u or 2u?
ben_vulpes: usually i bolt them on directly, but i'm a barbarian and haven't actually derped much with physical servers.
menahem: ben_vulpes ill give that a go next time.
ben_vulpes: menahem: try a <pre> tag instead
ben_vulpes: Naphex: he runs a payment processor and web fast food order taker/relayer to fast fooderies
ben_vulpes: menahem: blockquotes on your blog with the email formatting is a pita to read
decimation: I'm not against putting things on bare metal, just that blades lock you into a generally shitty 'blade-crate' vendor
trinque has to step away for a bit
trinque: I'd have a use for that
ben_vulpes: <williamdunne> trinque: Oh like a stack of rPis in a server enclosure? << just start buying cheap old blades and racking them.
Naphex: decimation: yeah, you can do a lot of stuff. depending on far you want to go
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> ;;later tell ben_vulpes http://imgur.com/a/xogco << back from this << oooh ☟︎
trinque: if you cannot fit it in your head, you are a liar if you point to it and say you know it to be secure
Naphex: trinque: if you have servers, and they are linked together maybe you're using a DC Switch
trinque: Naphex: you'd have to give me a coherent explanation of what you think an encrypted LAN is before I could possibly tell you what I think about it.
assbot: 4 results for 'specificity of diddling' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=specificity+of+diddling
trinque: so atop your shit tower of an incomprehensible computing stack and a further incomprehensible virtual computing stack you what?
trinque: Naphex: there's a difference between knowing of things and knowing them comprehensively
Naphex: asciilifeform: applets are applets and security issues are all around. being a good dev implies taking care with deploying your product ☟︎
asciilifeform: trinque: was among top ~10 for 'clojure' per se, for a while
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-04-2015#1110312 << what, i gotta draw a picture ? ☝︎
Naphex: trinque: genkernel is pretty helpful on servers with firmware for building a quick initramfs
mod6: i have a chroot set up, and all that. im still not even sure how any of this will work.
trinque: uhuh, that's not a compiled kernel
trinque: Naphex: eh? stage 3 doesn't give you a kernel
Naphex: mod6: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Base#Chrooting make a folder, unpack stage 3.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell ben_vulpes http://imgur.com/a/xogco << back from this
trinque: sure configuring a kernel is a massive pain in the dick, but at least you get more acquainted with what's in there
trinque: Naphex: rolling your own gentoo is a good learning experience
Naphex: mod6: i'd just do the chroot thing and getting it done. doing a custom kernel won't help you much running in a hypervisor
trinque: so you don't mrproper yourself out of a config
trinque: mod6: there may or may not be a flag to tell it to use a different config file, but by default it will use .config
trinque: it's a problem that from the perspective of trying to maximize occupancy is much easier to solve with the virtualization turd
trinque: that's where having racks that can rack/unrack hardware on the fly and a uniform backplane sounds appealing
trinque: williamdunne: yeah aside from the rpi being a particularly heinous device
