asciilifeform: they contain configs with absolute paths !

asciilifeform: mod6, ben_vulpes, trinque, et al: if any of you had problems with 'rotor,' be aware that the toolchain dir and its contents CANNOT BE MOVED OR RENAMED

asciilifeform: (to a first approximation, 'famous in usg media' ======= usg tool)

asciilifeform: because he's a usg tool ?

asciilifeform: https://cryptome.org/2015/07/wikileaks-stratfor-malware.htm << lulz

asciilifeform: it's almost like no one is even ~trying~.

asciilifeform: the hilarious part re: elbrus - given ~only~ the published material - is that it has standard chinese peripherals, on memory-mapped i/o...

asciilifeform: thus it does not compete in any market where american product is present

asciilifeform: suitable for use in, e.g., ru nukes

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: given as the whole purpose of elbrus, to the extent it had one, is to be a non-nato computer

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this is the one thing guaranteed not to happen

asciilifeform: not even golden, but monocrystalline diamond toilet.

asciilifeform: like the last... 4 of'em

asciilifeform: if any were produced at all, they are being used in-house.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i will point out that i have not been able to locate an elbrus, nor has, last i asked, mircea_popescu, nor anyone else i know ☟︎

asciilifeform: zero tolerance.

asciilifeform: this is how we end up buried in cement truck full of shit

asciilifeform: i'm done 'mehing things off'

asciilifeform: i don't see why i should EVER have to mv bitcoin-v0_5_4-TEST1_8a8d52a747f0b0bd5d7a2cce9d0938f1dd6e1239.tar.gz.sig bitcoin-v0_5_4-TEST1.tar.gz.sig

asciilifeform: i believe that i am not alone in ragingly hating its fucking guts

asciilifeform: ;;later tell jurov would you please consider getting rid of the PILE OF SHIT appended to the filenames ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: it is taking up space in your head where you could, potentially, put something valuable.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: imho, the problem is that the item you are becoming familiar with, has no future.

asciilifeform: this alone is enough for me.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-07-2015#1218871 << none of the cups i had there tasted of burned diesel the way 'starbucks' mandatorily does. ☝︎

asciilifeform: (except possibly for me, i moved my personal flagship to my bleeding tree; but i'm not a serious user of bitcoin)

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: nobody's counting on 0.5.3 last i knew...

asciilifeform: why not backport whatever it was you liked so much in 0.7 ??

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-07-2015#1218870 << why did you do this, again...? ☝︎

asciilifeform bbl

asciilifeform: same as mine

asciilifeform: srsly the pipe has to go through your wall

asciilifeform: dpaste over pigeon ?

asciilifeform: after which we get to write gossipd with tcp syn instead of udp

asciilifeform: this is, if anything, even more batshit than what mircea_popescu asked for

asciilifeform: and every single arm cpu

asciilifeform: i'd love nothing more than for martians to fly over and shoot with disintegrator beam every single x86 box

asciilifeform: until you drown in unsolved.

asciilifeform: i get it, this is most fun sport in the world

asciilifeform: that would be a major scientific advance

asciilifeform: i'm still waiting, incidentally, for mircea_popescu to tell me how to set the pogo clock without ntp

asciilifeform: (my isp won't like != 17 either. i will have to send these packets to mircea_popescu by camel.)

asciilifeform: with procol # != 17 because mircea_popescu hates 17

asciilifeform: her name is udp with rsa payload.

asciilifeform: i ~have one~

asciilifeform: and the multi-step connection opening

asciilifeform: the part i'm objecting to is the sequence # thing

asciilifeform: yes, you need dest ip

asciilifeform: to destination.

asciilifeform: (or what stream)

asciilifeform: but not that said packet is part of a stream

asciilifeform: router knows that it is routing a packet

asciilifeform: third party gets to cry in the corner

asciilifeform: not 'at all'

asciilifeform: i don't like the fact that i gotta say it in cleartext !

asciilifeform: no matter how many kilometres long your cock is, and how many cable spools it takes to hold it

asciilifeform: ergo - lose.

asciilifeform: because connection is stateful

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if it's tcp, you are serving jam to folks for showing up

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's on the cable ?

asciilifeform: realize that there can be no useful gossipd except with something like what is described above (i.e. udp but with protocol != 17)

asciilifeform: because presently no need.

asciilifeform: so 'easy to filter' because ~no one is doing them~

asciilifeform: enjoy the syn floodz

asciilifeform: that simple.

asciilifeform: no routing of forged dest ip >>>>> no amplification ddos.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu volunteers to shoot it, not realizing that the dog-kicker will kick every dog mircea_popescu ever bends to pet

asciilifeform: ~they~ kick the dog

asciilifeform: go, 'feel safe' because you went along with usg's transparent attempt to ban the only presently working single-packet transmission medium.

asciilifeform: but will point out that the million-chump botnet can just as easily transmit syn flood as udp crud

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not suggesting that everyone is to move to mordor and subscribe to this isp

asciilifeform: my isp clearly did not get defrauded in the same way as mircea_popescu's - because their six-figure machine does not as a result go down

asciilifeform: through the window ?

asciilifeform: because how are they to walk in?

asciilifeform: ok, those get dropped somewhere else

asciilifeform: i mean, they can't walk in any faster than the 100Mb ethernet into the bldg

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as decent as it gets (line saturation)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm on a consumer fiber and, with modern hardware on my end (by no means six-figure), udp flood does not touch me.

asciilifeform: over what single-packet proto ?

asciilifeform: and never see gossipd

asciilifeform: not as theoretical as mircea_popescu might think

asciilifeform: who else.

asciilifeform: enemy.

asciilifeform: to filter tcp syn vs empty udp

asciilifeform: because SAME FUCKING COMPUTATIONAL LOAD

asciilifeform: and get new one

asciilifeform: throw out your filter then

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but not udp?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so then you get flooded with TCP SYNs. same difference.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you gotta understand the protocol stack.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: your machinery goes down even when you instruct it to drop all udp on the floor ?

asciilifeform: (not even speaking of fpga variant here)

asciilifeform: can verify packets at line speed.

asciilifeform: statically allocated buffer
