asciilifeform: and to the extent folks used it - correctly - their crypto worked.
asciilifeform: interestingly, vernam (which we today call 'one time pad') coexisted with all of them
asciilifeform: all the rotor machines were much alike.
asciilifeform: relies purely on energy in magnetic field for 'inertia'
asciilifeform: not same as autotransformer
asciilifeform: http://imgur.com/zrmHTMR,OzgNDNH#0 << that one
asciilifeform: http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialka/psu/img/300125/086/full.jpg << mega-l0l. this, internally, and geometrically - is almost identical to my (u.s.-made) ferroresonant stabilizator.
asciilifeform: how could there not be.
asciilifeform: of course there was
asciilifeform: (why? ask him not me)
asciilifeform: i am inclined to believe that something is missing from the schematic.
asciilifeform: think about it.
asciilifeform: (resistor - no effect on phase)
asciilifeform: considering that solenoid is an inductive load, and resistor is - well - resistive.
asciilifeform: i can hardly imagine the circuit fooling anything but the most dull power analysis device
asciilifeform: incidentally,
asciilifeform: having a printed circuit in this machine at all was 'high tech'
asciilifeform: they didn't solder by machine, aha.
asciilifeform: them.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-02-2015#1023292 ☝︎
asciilifeform: that is -not- an integrated circuit in the modern sense!
asciilifeform: 'In some of the circuits, 2TC613 ICs are used [1]. Each of these ICs contains four transistors, They belong to one of the first generations of Russian ICs.' << another howler
asciilifeform: but,
asciilifeform: plausible.
asciilifeform: decimation: you can see the trimpots
asciilifeform: you actually need this to retrofit constant-power
asciilifeform: i see now that it was not a pass-through
asciilifeform: (on 'cryptomuseum')
asciilifeform: shame on'em.
asciilifeform: so 'tempest' is mistake in terminology here
asciilifeform: http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialka/psu/tempest.htm#circuit << tries to prevent differential power analysis ☟︎
asciilifeform: clever.
asciilifeform: instead of the old-fashioned power supply.
asciilifeform: to force dumb orcs to use it
asciilifeform: 'Although it may seem unnecessary, the data socket (marked МАШИНА II) must be connected, as otherwise the machine will not work. This is done to ensure the use of the TEMPEST feature (see below). ' << seems to imply that it was a straight pass-through
asciilifeform: i can see this being given to unreliable warsaw pact nations to -amplify- their tempest emanations
asciilifeform: wtf.
asciilifeform: in the -power supply-
asciilifeform: and why, precisely, does it need the digital output ?
asciilifeform: crackable in about thirty seconds on 'commodore 64'
asciilifeform: funny how they gave a damn re: tempest on a fucking ROTOR CRYPTO MACHINE
asciilifeform: http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialka/psu/tempest.htm
asciilifeform: check out the 'tempest' psu.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu must have been thinking of this machine the other day.
asciilifeform: 'Warning: never connect this 3-pin male plug (24V DC) to the 3-pin female plug (230V AC) of the mains cable. Due to bad design, it fits perfectly, but supplies the mains voltage to the 24V input of the cipher machine, causing permanent damage to the cipher machine. Be warned!' << l0l
asciilifeform: of keys.
asciilifeform: and even '80s in many cases (u.s. naval crypto used paper cards until '90 or so)
asciilifeform: like every '40s machine.
asciilifeform: decimation: i did suggest paper card at one point.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu:fork the chain or maintain the historical copy. << third option: make new apparatus, prove idempotence.
asciilifeform: ada, like lisp, is not a language. it is merely a kind of void left by removing retardation.
asciilifeform: though it would have made sense (bounds checking, etc. a la lisp machine)
asciilifeform: decimation: afaik there were never dedicated ada silicon
asciilifeform: l0l
asciilifeform: ok so nubbins` has what i have.
asciilifeform: aha.
asciilifeform: that's without -any- patches of mine?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: wait
asciilifeform: nubbins`: what do you get without it ?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: this was after my (today's) patch ?
asciilifeform: 'doesn't everyone?'
asciilifeform: when you scratch the surface, you always find some imbecile who develops on winblows, and then asks 'whatchalookingat' ☟︎
asciilifeform: decimation: probably winblows
asciilifeform: see log as to why.
asciilifeform: as decimation helpfully pointed out ~1hr ago, ssl didn't build
asciilifeform: nubbins`: there we go
asciilifeform: who hasn't killed an ant colony
asciilifeform: more like ants.
asciilifeform: this has more immediate implications than commandeering mere jet factory.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has it
asciilifeform: if you built a miner, 'you didn't build that'
asciilifeform: list of who doesn't even consider it dekulakization - merely owner coming 'back' to take what is 'his', that he merely let you store in safekeeping for a spell.
asciilifeform: anyone who doesn't send them off to pound sand up arse - has bowed to usg
asciilifeform: Coinbase Seeks 'Invasive' Details on US Bitcoin Mining Operations << this is, to use the 'manosphere' term of art, a 'shit test'
asciilifeform: nubbins`: but applying the portatronic patch turns my uint32_t error into an int64_t error << apply the -other- patch. the one from 2hrs ago.
asciilifeform: <ben_vulpes> salesforce either << usg is not the post office. usg is precisely the folks who perpetrate things such as 'salesforce.'
asciilifeform: ^ pre-telegraph - was true
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: and nothing can be meaningfully described without him.
asciilifeform: while not everything in the solar system 'comes from jupiter' - he has a say in what happens.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: take jupiter.
asciilifeform: but where do the clientele get their dough ?
asciilifeform: no one who walks in, likely is usg. certainly not official procurer
asciilifeform: is mickey-d usg ?
asciilifeform: and for what.
asciilifeform: but then look - who buys it? with what ?
asciilifeform: private?
asciilifeform: say ben_vulpes sells aluminum siding. by the gigatonne.
asciilifeform: see tlp's piece.
asciilifeform: nowhere.
asciilifeform: (there is no private industry, in the traditional sense, in usg-dom. nothing larger than a hotdog stand, certainly.)
asciilifeform: being a dept of usg
asciilifeform: of course it plays
asciilifeform: which 'fips' did -it- pass.
asciilifeform: see the case of the 'drone' pinched in iran, which was gps-spoofable because crypto was omitted entirely
asciilifeform: you will never hear of northrop or lockheed losing a contract from failing to pass 'fips' etc
asciilifeform: exceptions free for the asking for 'favourite sons' of course
asciilifeform: the tests are a chump tax charged on folks peddling turdware to usg and friends
asciilifeform: were always in the hole.
asciilifeform: we never got out of it
