ave1: note
I kept the S.MG 2018 lines untouched
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 00:54 asciilifeform: this line of thought was prompted by my 'trb observatory', which has uncovered a number of 'mpb'-style nodes,
i.e. trb-like but not presenting 'modern' vers and therefore invisible from heathen www indices
diana_coman: ave1, please update so
I can sign the patch
ave1: diana_coman, Ach yes,
I did copy-paste everything
I did not touch
ave1: netsniff-ng seems to show raw frames (eth mac is reported) but yes
I'll look into the socket raw code
ave1: So far (by reading about this),
I found that some NICs can do part of the framing for the OS (but
I would expect that to be for large messages and not for small ones)
ave1: This
I do not know (it looks raw).
I'am probably doomed to read the linux network stack.
ave1: mircea_popescu,
I'm doing packet sniffing (with wireshark and netsniff etc) and
I see different ethernet frame sizes reported
ave1: Alternatively
I was thinking about some simple speed tests (
i.e. half size udp messages would translate in < half bandwith of max size udp messages)
a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 16:49 asciilifeform: ave1: there is not much to be said further re subj,
i looked into what actually comes out of my lan, it sends 1500 frames upstream always.
diana_coman: there isn't any question that
I see remaining there;
I think what happened was that
I was thinking a bit out loud in the logs yesterday and
I got to same conclusion basically but then you started answering to the first part and some things were not unclear at a distance too and so the whole thing

a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 16:13 diana_coman: yes, the way
I currently see it now is pretty much that: trunk (main line) goes along the production versions of all stuff (crc32 or keccak or whatever else) and otherwise at the respective points there can be additional branches /leaves with the reference implementations
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 03:57 mircea_popescu: in any case, type1 might get
i dunno, later-patch-taking-advantage-of-ddram whereas type 2 might get later-patch-needed-for-old-arms etc.
diana_coman:
I read and re-read and
I get the impression that this sort of delayed conversation doesn't work very well so
I'll leave it for now

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-14#1862411 << but if you don't care about computers why are you talking to them ? you're not ~dependent~ on it, but
i presume you care to some degree.
mircea_popescu: which is the fucking problem with current versioning systems, they encourage illegitimate context creation, of the sort of "
i need to publish or perish therefore let us rename biology and rediscover it".
mircea_popescu: in fact, a very solid basis for respect is, "whenever
i sit down to rewrite x,
i end up writing what he wrote ; whereas whenever
i sit down to rewrite y,
i end up using empty page. thus therefore x is rated 5 and y -10"
a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 16:18 asciilifeform: imho 'unifiers' (
i.e. patch that pulls in specific state from a parallel tree) is a cleaner way of accomplishing this than cut&paste, but
i was unable to persuade.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 16:16 asciilifeform: diana_coman: iirc mircea_popescu in particular specifically hates libs-as-separate-trees, insists that proggy oughta include errything it eats. (
i dun recall whether he answered why it should not also then include the os and compiler also in same genesis, but
i'ma leave thread alone for nao)
a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 16:13 diana_coman:
I honestly don't quite see the point of taking crc32 out for instance

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 15:08 lobbes: "castle-only" may be the way to go anyways;
I'm not sure #trilema even needs the auctionbot to sit in here
phf:
i don't think
i'll be able to cut rename tonight, and then
i'll be busy until friday, though will try to steal an hour here and there
a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 12:55 lobbes: and speaking of auctionbot: development is complete. At the moment
I am getting ready to begin some prod testing and then all that's left is to write the blog post explaining the usage. Getting close!
mircea_popescu: bvt "Ada exposes no functions that have 'exclusive open' semantics, so
I imported C
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
i possibly dun wanna drag the nice thing into it, but
i dunno, way too early to optimize this partuclar pile.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 07:53 diana_coman: in fact the 3rd option that is the one actually to use is having different sizes on the two processes (
i.e. different constant simply)

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-13#1862167 >>
I don't see how it would necessarily be any simpler aside from one `if` statement. And there's nothing to stop listening on separate ports and getting all benefits asciilifeform mentions with different sizes
phf: asciilifeform:
i actually forgot!
i'm swamped right now, but can you remind me again in about two weeks,
i have a thing for you from the dig that will help with the little piece of silicon you have
☟︎☟︎☟︎ phf: diana_coman:
i've updated eucrypt to keccak,
i also added ave1's patch there. also brought udp up to date.
phf:
i like how C 2012 standard says that x flag works "to the extent that the underlying system supports exclusivity". of course no indication when it doesn't..
phf: oh
i guess
i see why that would be tricky, because of the specialization.
i don't know enough ada yet to know how to fix that... perhaps just renaming it to Temporary_File is sufficient
☟︎ phf: the other thing, and that's somewhat of a personal preference,
i think Create_Temporary_File should either act identical to create or be called something else. right now it clashes with ada's naming convention
phf: bvt: your patch has "Binary files..." at the very end of it.
i assume it wasn't made with vdiff
☟︎ ben_vulpes: mod6 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: the remaining stateside fuckgoats are packed in a specific box that
i will relocate with my person.
phf:
i was like "wtf, kind of shit ascii accidentally pasted instead of the real url" :p
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
I have come around to thinking of the process that leads to this "wished helplessness"
phf:
i wonder what sort of technology those heathen node walkers use,
i.e. if it's a patched up bitcoin client, or if they have own protocol parsers. seems like too much serious know how for the later
phf: yeah,
i wrote a small subset of bitcoin protocol in lisp, but rolled my own binary types.
i think
i can ask for version, and
i can also ask for peers, and
i started on getblock functionality..
phf:
i suspect you might discover it to be same kind of situation as tinyscheme
phf: well, after reading the CADR documentation, source code and generally spending more time on a lisp machine,
i realized that modern common lisp is a cargo cult.
i'm not sure how naggum didn't see it, but possibly because his lisp was emacs/cmucl/franz
phf: one of the major wtfs when reading asdf code, is that when all the ifdef's fall through, hte system falls back to some seriously questionable solutions, like shelling out to unix level with elaborate commands (
i don't remember the example, but it's almost like "mkdir {} && cd ..." type stuff)
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 00:17 phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-13#1862183 << no,
i don't use portability packages in my own code (they are the hole through which the darkness comes), and when something pulls it as a dependency, it comes from quicklisp
phf: (btcbase uses 0.8.5, though
i might have an older version somewhere on backup drives)
phf: out of curiousity
i went through the log, and bordeaux-threads had that bt nickname pretty much since creation, in 2006
a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 23:31 asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf wouldja happen to have a frozen nonretarded version of bordeaux-threads somewhere ? the one
i have, is utterly sad, squats nickname 'bt' which prevents binary-types from working...
BingoBoingo: hanbot: Thank you.
I haven't found anything promising here yet.
hanbot: BingoBoingo re remittance shits,
i found something here, going to investigate tomorrow if it'll do .uy; will update.
lobbes:
I will be monitoring it to make sure everything is running smoothly. Let me know of any funkyness
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 18:18 asciilifeform: the 1 'litmus test'
i was able to think of , is the '
i pick a block hash and you gimme the block in <1s' algo.
ben_vulpes: reading satoshi's varint gave me no ends of headaches with binary-types,
i eventually cheated out
ben_vulpes:
i'm sure that
i did but cannot recall where immediately, sec
ben_vulpes: fence is done, transpocubes for possesions arrive tomorrow. house still unleased and one car yet needing transportation scheduled. other than that, girl and child fly out soon, and
i drive out with dog shortly before.
ben_vulpes:
i've since just cut over to using postgres' own godly datetime knobs because a) better in every way b) works with timezones trivially
a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 18:06 asciilifeform:
i'd eventually like to be rid of asdf tho.
ben_vulpes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-14#1862478 i lost a few hours to cl-postgres/postmodern/simple date over the past two months; there is now some cl-postgres-simple-date-glue package that needs loading in order for postmodern to use its local-date set of classes. once upon a time loading simple-date after cl-postgres was enough to get the mechanisms in place.
☝︎ trinque: purged a few pieces of technical debt lingering from the rapid prototype
I built during the schism. sorry to have made you a casualty of the purge!
a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 15:44 trinque: Mocky: yep, looks like
I trashed it, and
I see no corresponding !!unrate. restored.
I will make sure there were no other dropped ratings.
