asciilifeform: 'hello fellow dog, you must also be a dog for every living thing is a dog; what kind of dog are you'

asciilifeform: aha, suggestion is that we occupy ourselves with a permanent game of whack-a-mole.

asciilifeform: svetlana: perhaps you know it under another name. attacker sends spoofed packets to a series of machines, usually misconfigured routers and embedded systems of other kinds

asciilifeform: svetlana: i got a massive packet dump, and so has kakobrekla ☟︎

asciilifeform fesses up that he worked on it, on and off, for some months, so as to have a 'killerapp' application for cardano when the latter is unwrapped

asciilifeform: neh i only have a splat.

asciilifeform: e.g., an adder, a shifter, uart, 500 other kinds of part.

asciilifeform: punkman: one can attempt to work with just the synthesis toolchain (no escape from it) and use netlists of 'raw' logic - i.e. simple universal constructs like 'nand gate'. the result - go try it - a very simple kindergarten-level circuit fills up the entire chip, with glacial performance (gate delays measured in msec!)

asciilifeform: punkman: [fpga thread] would MIPS be easier than x86? or does the problem lie in connecting the thing to outside world (fast RAM, peripherals, etc) << problem is that you can't make so much as a barrel shifter on any extant fpga without using a closed turd from the vendor - actually, two turds: one in the logic library part itself, other - the synthesis toolchain
