asciilifeform: so why bother with the 'phone that won't let'
asciilifeform: mats: ' its no more available unless you use some very old phones/firmwares ( on most devices they removed the ttyUSB serial interfaces to send AT commands to the GSM modem as well ).' << explain to me why this trick requires a phone. i have a crate of gsm modems here, they all have serial lines and take hayes AT command set
asciilifeform: that way they will be built once and cached, for a given buildroot working dir
asciilifeform: conceivably the three deps ought to be a package each☟︎
asciilifeform: this way it will magically get onto any buildroot-linux that is built (e.g., pogo)
asciilifeform: the next step will be to turn 'rotor' into a buildroot package properly speaking (like all the various packages that come with buildroot)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al: anybody who wants to use a specific version of gcc, will find a knob for this in .config
asciilifeform: could simply walks around and hope pastor doesn't notice ?
asciilifeform: the real puzzler is that he mentioned it at all
asciilifeform: somehow, the whole story - whether it was the lsd, or that the owner's 'furniture' was a cardboard box on the street - is not told in the statement.
asciilifeform: the thing is, his statement is not entirely unlike 'i woke up and my furniture was gone'
asciilifeform: 'GPG for data at rest. TLS for data in motion. You can also use Guttmans cryptlib, which has a sane API. Or Google Keyczar. They both have really simple interfaces, and they try to make it hard to do the wrong thing.' << l0l!!
