mircea_popescu: syria is not a desert.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: matters so much ~which~ pnoje ? if yer a 10watt microwave lighthouse in middle of desert
mircea_popescu: a la fetlife not coming with a "list females under 25" button. becase "reasons", of course.
mircea_popescu: is it THAT FUCKING HARD to just have a relay ? i mean... not like i use the fetlife app for fucks sake. because why would i.
diana_coman: possibly the same "how can you live without a smartphone???"
mircea_popescu: GCHQ and its US allies cracked encrypted Islamic State communications." a sort of http://trilema.com/2012/law-enforcement-never-fails-to-unintentionally-entertain/#selection-161.0-161.52
mircea_popescu: and to round up the keks, https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/isis-terrorist-junaid-hussain-killed-10069425 ; moneyshot : "Birmingham Isis terrorist Junaid Hussain effectively signed his own death warrant after clicking on a “poison” internet link pinpointing his location, it was reported. The Times claimed the link was sent to the 21-year-old on the Surespot phone messager app by an undercover agent after
venatiodecorus: there is a guy on twitter @lulzsecops who claims to have been around them back then or something like that
venatiodecorus: planeshift is a custom engine coupleod with the crystal space 3d rendering engine
mircea_popescu: that's a new one.
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/titles-are-a-scam-anyway/ << Trilema - Titles are a scam anyway.
amberglint: there's also a presentation about it, haven't found the transcript: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTOkgDZli_o
asciilifeform: datashit also reveals a 'Dedicated DDR2/DDR3 and LPDDR2/LPDDR3 memory support with DQS logic, up to 800 Mb/s data-rate', wonder if this is supported in the ice40 chain yet
amberglint: "The documentation is done through a "black box" process were Diamond is asked to generate a large number of designs which then used to create bitstreams."
amberglint: asciilifeform: the reverse-engineered toolchain for the iCE40 now supports a larger chip, the ECP5 with 85k LUTs (vs ~8k LUTs of iCE40), possibly worth taking a look at: https://github.com/SymbiFlow/prjtrellis
asciilifeform: worth a dig.
asciilifeform: a++ trolol, i promise i'll bite it later, currently got a ch13 to massage..
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yours is a specious argument. i have stable of slaves BECAUSE i do not use crap. not the other way around.
asciilifeform: ( ftr asciilifeform does not have a stable of slaves, like rms, or knuth, or mircea_popescu , to whom can order 'go fetch this from www for me' so that i can pretend i'm not using dns , email, ssl, etc. while still using when want )
mircea_popescu: you want a dns record, you put it in.
asciilifeform: i'd at least like ~variant~ where can switch off dns. ( sadly will prolly never be able to run entire fleet like this, i do quite a bit of interaction with heathen material as part of not only daily bread but research for tmsr works, interface with vendors, etc ) but even ~option~ is moar than what we had historically.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-24#1874364 << it'll be a pretty savage cut, but i dun have a magic pill for making cut like this painless , it gotta be done somehow ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-24 19:44 mircea_popescu: replace them with a single component, which builds a hosts file through pressing v tree.
asciilifeform: summary : diana_coman was too modest to admit, but did find a 1 cycle shorter form, i'ma put it in.
asciilifeform: oh hey did diana_coman find a karnaugh-shorter overflowtron
phf: my impression is that they are effectively a write off, but if there's a good use that they can be put to, i have a week of very limited time to assist with that
phf: mircea_popescu: i have a box of your pogos, i can probably still store them, but i won't be able to keep them safe, nor produce them on short notice
trinque: mircea_popescu: thing nicely generalizes into a vpatch/seal lookup mechanism for everything.
mircea_popescu: nicoleci, how about you write a "how to gpg on windows" page and put it on eulorum.com
mircea_popescu: and so therefore, how about this convention : re-dld gets ~all~ keys from seals dir ; looks in $key/gns for patches. dumps all the found ones in a dir, then proceeds to build and press tree, that's the hosts and that;'s it.
mircea_popescu: i ~suppose~ one manner of handling this is the followingf convention : patches to be acquired from $key/gns/ dir, for all keys in the seals ring. so it'd look for "6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452/gns" which is not a "valid" domain per usg.verisign "rules" however it DOES resolve in our own system. because we can put ips on anything we want. ☟︎
hanbot: mircea_popescu tbh i'm quite morally opposed to stuffing hand-holding wordsalad into a set of instructions for the sake of placating idiocy. unclear is one thing, devoid of sparkly alternative interpretational dance is another.
mircea_popescu: and if you do, it'll be a "re-dld and re-press" right ? so where does it dld from ?
mircea_popescu: but ~something~ is required, because think about it : you will want to have a button called "re-press", yes ?
mircea_popescu: a bunch of deletes + the pressing.
mircea_popescu: hanbot "Select kleopatra, gpg4win's key management gui, from the Windows start menu. Select File from the main menu, then choose New Certificate. Select Create a personal OpenPGP key pair. Enter your name, email, and a comment, click Create Key, then choose a passphrase. " ? i suppose you're right, though 0 chances windoze tards manage to follow terse instructions.
trinque: yeah, I think what you're asking for is mostly a bunch of deletes. absent w/e upstream DNS lookup it can still snarf the /etc/hosts and nobody else in userland will care
mircea_popescu: replace them with a single component, which builds a hosts file through pressing v tree. ☟︎
trinque: seems like I'm missing a step in the middle here.
mircea_popescu: it's still there, even if under a rug.
trinque: *each time someone else adds a host you want
mircea_popescu: can have such a thing as private patches on v trees.
mircea_popescu: and replacing it with a single mechanism : pressing a hosts file.
mircea_popescu: i am not talking about a second host file.
trinque: I'll need to read up on how DNS resolution works in musl to recommend something strongly, but might be as simple as having it read a second hosts file. I don't know of any support for including one hosts file in another in either musl or glibc.
mircea_popescu: is # acceptable comment inline ? should there be a manifest also ?
mircea_popescu: trinque word. let's talk about the mechanics a little, how would this be aquired ?
mircea_popescu: trinque if i sign a genesis for republican dns, specifically, "here's ips and domain names, one set per line, that my lordship recognizes", are you willing to replace dns resolution in cuntoo with pressing that tree (according to the users' key dir, of course) ?
trinque: this linux namespaces thing is probably just more unnecessary complexity, but being able to forbid a process-and-children from using the network stack is nb.jpg for testing cuntoo build
phf: asciilifeform: a downside to your renaming the patches is that it breaks all the old btcbase links. e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch1_genesis is now http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch1_genesis.kv even though the content is the same
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Dude really wanted a rifle and was willing to play both sides
BingoBoingo: <ascii_modem> or banking that nobody can be arsed? or how. << Likely banking on that, no one with a subscription bothering
a111: Logged on 2018-11-22 21:57 mircea_popescu: in other related matters : i'm authorizing her to add a patch on s.mg crypto lib, to permit arbitrary size e. i recall the threads at the time, but there's a ~really~ good reason to do it : we don't want to pass back and forth kbs worth of exponents. udp packets are small, and there's all the complicated matchwork of sizes meeting keys etc.
ascii_modem: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-23#1874278 << apparently mircea_popescu so happy with my conveyor rate that he thinks not playing enuff game is a problem i have, lol ty! ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-23 17:57 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-23#1874269 << this has actually been a problem he's been not fixing for over a year now.
BingoBoingo: And for the update on standoff in Goes... Dude sent "threats" to the Argentine and British embassies: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/amenazas-a-embajada-y-a-familia-de-bonomi-con-megaoperativo-en-goes-20181123135952
mircea_popescu: (really should NOT "dns request" for mpex servers plox. or ~anything, really, but these especially. hosts file costs you nothing folks, wake up to this already. usg.dns costs you not merely your own life, but everyone else's along with it, as well as the very possibility of a world worth living)

a111: Logged on 2018-11-23 01:19 BingoBoingo: Maybe a gossling would be the step up, but when it's a 10 kg goose likely to die at your hand for insufficient adorability to aggress in the manner of geese
mircea_popescu: so now one day at the beach, when left behind with a girl because its mistress had... well, was busy ok, it wouldn't even eat the most delicious tp! NOT SAFE TO EAT TREATS WITHOUT BELOVED MISTRESS!
mircea_popescu: for incomprehensible reasons, chimichurri ~loves~ toilet paper. it'll stuff its craw with the stuff, if you hold a square up for it, shred it and pack it like there's no tomorrow. (and then its squeak changes, too, cuz obviously that thing dries out its liquids lmao). so now and again friendly folk might offer it a square. (gotta be the right, fluffy stuff i use tho).
diana_coman: ugh, asciilifeform I can't seem to be able to comment on your blog? (and fwiw it's also a pain because it won't work with ip in hosts only, I have to access it from toilet-pc)
BingoBoingo: Maybe a gossling would be the step up, but when it's a 10 kg goose likely to die at your hand for insufficient adorability to aggress in the manner of geese ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it literally is like a velociraptor with a beak, that thing.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, to continue the related thread of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-16#1872694 -- what is the difference between ./a/b/file.txt and /ab/file.txt ? RIGHT ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: of course, no paths means there's a 16k limit or so on files or w/e nonsense it was ...
mircea_popescu: in other related matters : i'm authorizing her to add a patch on s.mg crypto lib, to permit arbitrary size e. i recall the threads at the time, but there's a ~really~ good reason to do it : we don't want to pass back and forth kbs worth of exponents. udp packets are small, and there's all the complicated matchwork of sizes meeting keys etc. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: re http://ossasepia.com/2018/11/22/smg-comms-chapter-9-files-transfers-and-requests/#selection-41.799-41.846 diana_coman you know we ~could~ do this. "all filenames are 32 characters long followed by a dot and 3 character extension". what's to keep us, filenames only exist as server declares them anyway.
mircea_popescu just put to oven a duck! on cabbage!
mircea_popescu: hopefully riding a trained goat!
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-22#1874222 << yeh, they sent a mini-agent for mine ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I expect to get a letter in the mail next week about the outage getting rescheduled por el calor
mod6: Thanks for the info asciilifeform. For now, I've just named them the same as the original ones, for testing here on my own. Was able to press with `vk.pl` successfully, and build a trb from that pressed keccak vtree.
mod6: (I made a trb keccak tree over here, just about to test it out. So far, that was my only question. Once done testing and things, will bake blog posts about diana_coman's vk.pl and the grinding of the keccak vtree.)
asciilifeform: 'The company's lone violation is for an April 2017 accident in which an employee lost the tips of two fingers, resulting in a $750 fine.' << if troo, this is cleaner record than most auto repair shops, i suspect
asciilifeform: ( and while we're in 'gate voltages', imho 'worry' is exactly like parasitic oscillation -- whether in electrical machine or the vibration that slowly destroys a sad washing machine )
diana_coman: I'm scratching my head more at the "how I was surviving without a smart phone and much longer could I live like this." + notebook maps etc but I suppose I'm essentially already too old to fully grasp the phone attachment thing
asciilifeform: 'I was not much of a calming presence due to my own anxiety about bitcoin and soap.' << lolwat!

a111: Logged on 2015-11-18 14:54 asciilifeform: shinohai: 'i heard that ivan won a car in the lotto.' 'yes! but not ivan but piotr, not a car but an overcoat, not in lotto but at cards, and not won but lost'
trinque: since its set up to have classical gentoo portage as "just another repo" I haven't had a single problem with building things that aren't yet vpatch-ebuilds
trinque: I'm running one of my primary work boxes on cuntoo atm, working great. I'm going to try to cut a release during the holiday.
trinque: asciilifeform: not stuck, swapped onto wallet work for a bit. improved the deposit handling and swept a bunch of small outputs.
asciilifeform has a box ready for beta cuntoo any day of the week
asciilifeform: trinque: spyked seems to be on a multi-month 'see the world' thing, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-04#1869254 ☝︎
asciilifeform: cuz it's a mighty convenient time for interloper to diddle boxes.
BingoBoingo: In other lolz, I got a phone call warning me of planned power outage for my block tomorrow
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-30#1819758 << once there was a guy who was gonna take this over. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-04-24 02:10 trinque: the !!subscribe lever is detached, yes, since it used to run back to a pretty sad pile of duct tape.
mircea_popescu is sitting here watching 11MB/s transfers... what a pleasure.
mircea_popescu: hanbot a moment's meditation reveals that i dun really want to clickl a bunch of boxes. ideally, i'd click once, and shift-select a set of files. does php even support this in any sense ?
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-31#1868072 << meanwhile i have a prototype that lets user upload multiple pix at a time in the sense that there are N boxes with 'browse' button hooked to a single 'upload' click. question is, if this is even a reasonable way to do it, what should N be? ☝︎
asciilifeform realized that he's gonna need a constant-time keccak for the final chapters, dun have 1 yet
asciilifeform: diana_coman: 'virtual' host is a server like public toilet stall is a flat
asciilifeform cannot help but picture a 'whiskeria' as 1 of those cafes where you rent cats by the hour...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In BingoBoingostan they hang out at the bus stops and the Whiskerias. They also have a few competing online ad deals trying to be the PedidosYa of hooking
asciilifeform: 'national unity', supposing it lived , rather than work of unimaginative fiction, can reg a key and speak here like errybody else.
asciilifeform: ( somehow the http://btcbase.org/log/2015-07-12#1198305 thing is a-ok, 'unprincipled exception' or what was it called ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: cuz the guys in question sat for a drink
