diana_coman: precisely; I think that in principle there is a possibility of that "attack" but I fail to see that it's worth much really
diana_coman: but honestly I don't see that to be such a huge problem
a111: Logged on 2017-11-14 20:35 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform typical pc has the following situation : 64 bit registers, 128 bit memory, 1024 bit disk sectors, 64 mb video buffers, and atop sitting a drunk driver who thinks 8 bits are a byte.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-18 14:27 mircea_popescu: what it is is certainly <1kb say. wasting the occasional portion of a kb is not so unlike wasting the occasional portion of a 64 bit register to represent a boolean value.
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-02#1857260 I see anything like this in the logs, do you have a link? ☝︎
Mocky: frag reassembly in-program can use a buffer of specified size, just as is done externally. so excess chunk memory overhead is known up front
asciilifeform: i'd have a separate box for new acct regs, that eats rsagrams..
asciilifeform: rereading http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-02#1857215 -- if you actually gotta take 'new rsa key' from allcomers, and there is no way to have'em know a seekrit bitstring prior , then yes afaik it is impossible to do better than mircea_popescu's algo. ( it is unclear to me what's to prevent enemy from swamping your system with new acct requests and giving you 9000 TB of rsa keys to store, but possibly i missed a detail ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: attacker can't send anyffing unless he has a valid key
asciilifeform: the way i'd do it, is to have e.g. 1400 byte packets , and they're authenticated (e.g. client gets seekrit 512bit turd, and keccak(turd + payload) is a field in those 1400) , and ~then~ there is a flag for whether the packet is part of a e.g. 8 byte sequence that gotta reasm, or not .
mircea_popescu: diana_coman do you see a way out of this ?
asciilifeform: ( it's a coupla kB typically )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: imho i described the problem with using linux's fragger/defragger in sufficient detail, would rather not clutter the log with a repeat
mircea_popescu: if it has to retry a few times not end of world.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, but what's the problem with that? client sends and waits (for as long as it wants) for a reply; whenever it has enough of waiting...sends again; until it makes it
mircea_popescu: what's "here's a list of 2mn unknown ips" buy me ?
asciilifeform: i'd still rather reasm'em in the proggy itself, rather than baking in a perma-reliance on the linux nonsense. but i suppose is easy to say, but moar work to actually bake.
mircea_popescu: so -- eulora MUST have a 16kb packet in its format.
mircea_popescu: 1. server must be able to acquire RSA key of client. 2. the rsa key of client will have to go in a rsa message, because they presumably don't have serpent keys agreed upon ; 3. the payload for one chunk of rsa key is 1960 bytes, fixed ; 4. the size of a key is 3.x such 1960 byte chunks, meaning 4 chunks. 5. the size of a 4 payload message is 16kb.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: a frame is a frame, short packets still occupy one,.
diana_coman: but if you force it to pad everything to maxlen it's a bit iffy
a111: Logged on 2018-09-18 14:26 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wrote the item originally for gossipd experimentations. udp gives a max practical packet length ( what it is , remains to be determined ) and if given proggy's protocol needs variably-sized ones, you can pad with rng.
mod6: asciilifeform: ben_vulpes is bringing this with him to texas. He said he'd be able to have it up and running in a rack down there by mid-November.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-02#1857127 << month and a half... whatcha moving it with , mod6? oxcart ? ☝︎
ben_vulpes: taking mimisbrunnr down for a spell
BingoBoingo: Aite, pulling out. Still ping when it finishes. Will prolly be up a while tonight.
BingoBoingo: Can reach, no need to power down to do this. Can't really power down safely at the A/C feed either. Individual lines are all D/C
asciilifeform: also ok to power down A/C to do this, they are unoccupied
asciilifeform: ( and into A an' C if you can reach . )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: can you get a quick photo of these ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 20:01 mod6: holy shit, they packed a cookie in there after they opened the bag?
mod6: I'll get to ya in like a week or so.
asciilifeform: rk units A & C are ready forbiznis.
asciilifeform: ( this is a property of ordinary li cells, the kind in chinesium wristwatch, or yer bios, rather than the lappy type )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856857 << these limits are everywhere. "we deliver" "no you don't" / "restaurants exist" "no they don't : http://trilema.com/2017/fake-news-are-just-one-tail-of-the-failed-female-state/ " and so on. the world essentially consists of the ~assumptions~ of existence and function of a large crowd of morons who never test these. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 19:07 asciilifeform: phf: wouldja program on a 3" screen ?!
mircea_popescu: and weighs as much as a babyduck.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856831 << this is a very solid point. add to it that cuntoo won't support gnome, and suddenly you see it : rk draws 15miliAmps, screen draws an average of i dunno, .6. suddenly a 5kAh battery lasts... 5k hours. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( i recently read a old ru treatise re subj, will dig up the link if anybody really wants )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856804 << speaking of this, i find it INSUFFERABLE that irc has semantics for "change colors" but has not semantics for a href. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: a
asciilifeform: ( the skill lay in administering 'just right' amt of thrashing, to turn a '10 strokes' into a death sentence, or 200 into survivable/educational )
asciilifeform: word ended up generic 'whip' in modern ru, but there was a specific item, and whipper was considered skilled trade, with year+ apprenticeship
mircea_popescu: then a) no moar unicode and b) full screen update ~costless.
asciilifeform: i palpate'em, to borrow a mircea_popescuism, 'in both holes' !11
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856794 << you might be the first fellow to palpate a thought. ☝︎
asciilifeform: iirc hippo-skin whip was mentioned in a mircea_popescu piece re egypt pre-british
asciilifeform: mod6: was a traditional whipping stick
asciilifeform: reminds me of... i gotta have seen it in a mircea_popescu article, can't think where else could've. that thing in egypt, made from hippo leather
mircea_popescu: in other not really news, there's something very pretty about a slavegirl examining her welts in disbelief.
asciilifeform: A confirmed operational.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: A is powered up as are the fans. Added a few more 5v ports
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: drive for RK-A currently being written
asciilifeform: it made a+++ packaging tho, recommended for fyootoor use
BingoBoingo: Well, these feel like the sort of thing mircea_popescu could fill up a sack with and use for beating passers-by. The old ones not so much
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 20:01 mod6: holy shit, they packed a cookie in there after they opened the bag?
mod6: holy shit, they packed a cookie in there after they opened the bag? ☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Going to give it a dignified posting
BingoBoingo: All the stop start, change speed, twist pivot, plant shoulder for impact did a number on the thing
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: oh hey, post a pic of the epic crate.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Will do in a bit
asciilifeform: under the humorous, there's a pretty tragic loss.
phf: asciilifeform: i'm mostly making a humorous point. there was after all a time when you could connect your commodore to your cathode ray tube
phf: closests i've gotten to eink display is a jailbroken kindle with a hacky local client of some sort (there's vnc and there's also a kindle native terminal). obviously unfit for real work
asciilifeform: and it's a fairly gnarly analogue device, with peculiar voltages and very particular ( per panel ) timings.
asciilifeform: phf: wouldja program on a 3" screen ?! ☟︎
phf: adafruit sells a 3" eink screen which connects over gpio, i'm not grokking why nobody's selling anything bigger. the whole field is a mystery
mod6: ok. gotcha. so we could have rockchip laptop if we had a lcd?
asciilifeform: where you edit 1 line at a time, and full screen is rarely drawn
asciilifeform: the panels also have a common cathode thing for clear-all-accumulated-rubbish
asciilifeform: where you specify a rectangle etc
asciilifeform: a ~1s redraw would moar than suffice for emacs.
asciilifeform: ( no known lcd worx worth half a shit in sunlight, unless one pumps sumthing like 50 watt into the backlight, and even then )
asciilifeform: 'tis a shame tho, asciilifeform would much like a rk3328 lappy that worx for whole day in open sunlight..
asciilifeform: i was able to find a film clip on www of somebody who actually got hold of the thing, and it didnt redraw in ANYTHING like 1sec
a111: Logged on 2018-09-20 14:21 asciilifeform: in other misc noose, chinese nao sell a 10inch spi-interfaced eink display thing with <1s refresh, fits on e.g. our rk3328-roc-cc board without solderings. theoretically a lappy can be hand-sewn .
asciilifeform: but to summarize subthread -- asciilifeform gets 1 day / wk, and that's on a ~good~ wk, to run the deep drills. the rest of the time, stuck on surface.
asciilifeform: the repeated 'loading' costs quite a bit of time.
asciilifeform: the sad troof is that ~all of asciilifeform's 'deep' worx (i.e. the ones that require loading a whole proggy / algo 'into head' ) happen on vacations & weekends (when the latter not filled with saecular crapola) rather than nights
mircea_popescu: i dunno how hard a requirement "go on 1st pass" can be. as long as it eventually goes in...
mircea_popescu: mod6 you know it occurs to me you miss a lot of my lines!!
asciilifeform: i have exactly same problem ( '10 pounds of shit in a 1 pound bag' ) , sorta assumed mod6 et al suffer similar.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 00:05 mircea_popescu: i kinda have in the back of my mind this impression that poor shane's ended up stuck with a large number of loose ends to juggle.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 15:59 mod6: And before the republic, I was very much a one-thing-at-a-time type of engineer. Seems like over the last year or maybe 18 months, I feel like I'm context switching so much, that I find it hard to get deep into the thinking that I need to. For instance, it bothers me that I still haven't found time to work through FFA.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856550 << ah, this may be a problem, i guess. i suppose is what i meant by http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855743 ☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: I'm leaning towards suspecting the robocall scammers hacked a Uruguayo office and under the impression Uruguay is a "rich" company have decided to pilfer
mod6: This is worthwhile. I've got a vector that I'd like to start into with sales -- as far as a market. Maybe one of these guys could help me get going.
mircea_popescu: alright, so make a list of the few, walk up to them and explain what problem you're encountering, and ask whether they'd be willing to either mentor or participate.
mod6: Maybe a few, here and there over the years.
mod6: I've spent my life behind a screen, so it doesn't come very naturally to me.
mircea_popescu: do you in principle not want to / want to never run a business ever ?
mod6: Well, I've never really run a business before -- and, I have pretty much zero sales/marketing exp.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 15:43 mod6: Pizarro, on the other hand, I'm more of a fish out of water.
mircea_popescu: mod6 hate is not mandatory, we're a very piss poor excuse for a cult.
mircea_popescu: modesty is just as often a sin as it is a virtue.
asciilifeform: with my orig, a node can happily sit for potentially years without getting new blox.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856553 << lol, seems to me that we regularly argue opposite sides of this puzzler. but yes, i'd luvv for there to be somewhere a hidden reserve of sane folx who will join republic and do quality work. but somehow they aint here yet, and i'm inclined to agree with mircea_popescu's much earlier hypothesis, where they either dun exist or are buried beneath such thick pantsuit iceberg that no drill pres ☝︎
mircea_popescu: a right, there it is even.
mircea_popescu: in any case, the " mod6 left by himself in empty hall of foundation" not so sane situation for a mod6 to find himself into.
mircea_popescu: ~then~, after that gets established, one can step down, add another, and so on. like a steps process, with continuity and everything. ☟︎
