asciilifeform: 302465.

asciilifeform: ;;bc,stats

asciilifeform: https://casper.berkeley.edu/astrobaki/index.php/Impedance_of_Free_Space << for folks who must have prettyprinted equations

asciilifeform: http://www.setileague.org/askdr/imped.htm << solution for electromagnetic

asciilifeform: funnel shapes also work

asciilifeform: (wide end)

asciilifeform: the end opposite from mouth

asciilifeform: 'must be =this= tall to ride'

asciilifeform: naggum saw comp.lang.lisp as something more like a machine shop than a public square

asciilifeform: give a physical explanation, in one sentence, of why a trumpet/tube/microwave horn needs the 'bell'.

asciilifeform: student puzzle

asciilifeform: speaking of which

asciilifeform: also mistook address

asciilifeform: a sparrow caught in a microwave horn

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: mistook address ?

asciilifeform: what was the 'simple man with simple programs' doing in comp.lang.lisp ?

asciilifeform: or if did, i'm unaware.

asciilifeform: iirc was, but it didn't leave any interesting material for archaeologists

asciilifeform: iirc at least 2x

asciilifeform: was, interestingly

asciilifeform: but turned into a whole dance

asciilifeform: so far it sounds like what orwell would've farted out in a paragraph

asciilifeform: ^ nothing to do with lisp, but with secretaries

asciilifeform: http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3088289335876823@naggum.no.html << obligatory naggum

asciilifeform: the secretary will know how to finesse the question

asciilifeform: but merrily craps out garbage

asciilifeform: computer, as we have it, does not even know how to 'say that again plz'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: either works

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: as in how many ?

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: blocks?

asciilifeform: back to the boojum - do i misunderstand or did the thing unwedge when moved to 'modern' openssl ?

asciilifeform: ^ thread

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2014#890284 ☝︎

asciilifeform: idea that was spoken of was a hopper to throw signed tx in.

asciilifeform: hm.

asciilifeform: i suppose that'd be why

asciilifeform: therealbitcoin.

asciilifeform: why the wallet is still in ?

asciilifeform: is there a particular reason

asciilifeform: !s the spittoon

asciilifeform: you may end up pulling in much of the openssl turd in the process

asciilifeform: however

asciilifeform: mod6: and then add the routines back in until the thing builds again

asciilifeform: mod6: simple algorithm: comment out the #includes

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: which had to be mutilated in six different ways to bolt onto 0.5.3

asciilifeform: dove in once or twice to fish out the orphanage burn thing

asciilifeform: gavin's 0.10

asciilifeform: that i was unable to make myself read the whole thing

asciilifeform: i must confess

asciilifeform: where the missing routines are then placed.

asciilifeform: step 2 is crypto.cpp/h

asciilifeform: that's step 1

asciilifeform: we snip out the #include <openssl/......>

asciilifeform: specifically,

asciilifeform: and substitute in sanity.

asciilifeform: and then send them to hell

asciilifeform: (with naked eye)

asciilifeform: so, for example, we can see what they are.

asciilifeform: roll in the five or six pieces that are actually used.

asciilifeform: let's rip out openssl in the simplest way ☟︎

asciilifeform: idea

asciilifeform: actually

asciilifeform did not test with anything other than the shortly post-heartbleed turdball specified in 'portatronic'

asciilifeform picked a very arbitrary openssl

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was an attempt at something like tor.

asciilifeform: just have the thing load a straight linux kernel

asciilifeform: imho in the final turd we nuke it

asciilifeform: used in perhaps 90% of the embedded net junk on the planet

asciilifeform: ^ it

asciilifeform: http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot

asciilifeform: (you can pump in a fresh kernel with tftp)

asciilifeform: helps in resurrecting a totally b0rk3d machine, yes

asciilifeform: and tcp/ip stack...

asciilifeform: there's a complete shell in there

asciilifeform: who could even imagine, an 800K bootloader!

asciilifeform: using same crosscompiler as for everything else

asciilifeform built the uboot from public sources

asciilifeform: bash script that downloads and flashes in somebody's uboot

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: one ends up with a mindbogglingly-heavy ubuntu-style thing, complete with 'systemd'

asciilifeform: i used the disk image from it

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there was a public set of instructions for installing 'archlinux' for arm onto 'pogo'.

asciilifeform: dollars to doughnuts, danielpbarron had a normal pogo

asciilifeform: so you did reflash. with hell knows what. lol

asciilifeform did no such thing

asciilifeform: wai wat!?!!

asciilifeform: and throw in favourite hexeditor

asciilifeform: other than that, one can take a snapshot: dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=turd.bin

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when the thing warms up, it dumps uboot ver. to the serial console

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: so possibly you got a slightly more recent fw than i

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: yes, but it was able to boot from it after.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the cl rewrite of emacs, 'climacs', was almost usable
