Framedragger: mircea_popescu: absolutely - will do! though, those 22mil boxes have ssh running on them; there's prob a semi-quick way to get a broader "is it generally online" list, too. but, gotta start somewhere
Framedragger: oh! "catching up on logs" is an important thing indeed. you mean http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160922/#139 - wowza.
mircea_popescu: one of those "not going to find anything" things that experience shows would make a fine first article on your putative blog.
mircea_popescu: you have a reasonably fresh list of respondent boxes, feed them 0x32 at offset 0x47f then poll in 5 and 500 seconds see if they're up. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: incidentally Framedragger , how about a survey of response to intel's magic byte ?
BingoBoingo still suggests move to Baudot encoding
ben_vulpes: worked swimmingly for the headers, though!
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, phf: i'm giving up on variable length binary-types for now. my personal pons asinorum for this library is the task of defining either a type or a class whose value could be either u8, u16, u32 or u64, plus the headaches of entirely arbitrary-length scripts.
BingoBoingo: Requires JackBoot firmware to load
BingoBoingo: lol GNOME GuPNP is a thing
asciilifeform: 'It is Intel’s belief that this is an implementation issue isolated to a specific manufacturer, not a design problem with the Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet controller. Intel has not observed this issue with any implementations which follow Intel’s published design guidelines. Intel recommends contacting your motherboard manufacturer ...'
asciilifeform: (come to think of it, mircea_popescu , what nic was in the original dulap..?)
asciilifeform: the commend: "ping -p 32 -s 1110 x.x.x.x" can crash an affected card remotely.'
asciilifeform: (elsewhere) 'The network card crashed whenever the value 0x32 or 0x33 was found at offset 0x47f. Kristian first noticed this happening for specific SIP packets, but in the end, it turned out that any packet with 0x32 at 0x47f caused the crash. Intel traced the problem to an EEPROM used in this specific card (82574L). There are some links in the comment to the blog suggesting that others have run into this problem before. For example,
asciilifeform: sorta popped up, and then quietly unhappened.
asciilifeform: reliably hard-wedged the nic, regardless of what os was running, or if any
asciilifeform: aaaaand on slightly related subj, whatever happened to https://archive.is/y2cFi ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-22#1546731 << that's a realtek, you can spot the crab logo with naked eye. ☝︎
asciilifeform if nobody figured it out, was going through /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/ethernet simply ... asking 'gbE? alive?' for each item therein.
asciilifeform: turns out they were rounded up just like the banks.
asciilifeform: when actual number, not counting the fed, is 3.
asciilifeform: (fabless. i have nfi where their chip was physically made.)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: earlier i think you were thinking of 'pa semi'
asciilifeform: this last detail i hope is not news to anyone.
asciilifeform: all dma-enabled (because pc arch doesn't actually offer any other way to move Gb/sec)
asciilifeform: sooooo, three, three, three nicmusketeeers, all muppets of guess who.
asciilifeform: 'BroodMinder: Smart, Affordable Telemetry for Beekeeping' << lolk.
asciilifeform: phf: almost certainly taiwan
phf: meaning they print in china?
asciilifeform: i will add, for completeness, that 'silicon labs' and 'texas instruments' offer gbE controllers, but only as chip - not, afaik, packaged on pci/pcie by anyone.
asciilifeform: i know where to find it.
asciilifeform: apparently there is a 4th co
mircea_popescu: o hey check that out, they did close shop.
asciilifeform: April 12, 2010 'PALO ALTO, Calif. -- HP today announced it has completed its acquisition of 3Com Corporation at a price of $7.90 per share in cash or an enterprise value of approximately $2.7 billion.'
deedbot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3Com << 3Com - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | https://www.hpe.com/us/en/networking.html << Networking - Enterprise Wired, Wireless & Data Center Solutions ... | http://www.l-3com.com/ << L-3 Communications |
mircea_popescu: nah. iirc some apple schmuck transitioned to it.
asciilifeform: (the other thing realtek is famous for is... having very peculiar definition of 'working chip', see e.g., https://archive.is/uvOwZ )
asciilifeform: i've been trying and failing to locate an in-production gbE card with something other than these 3 on it, and failed.
asciilifeform: dun look like they even bothered with 'filing off'
mircea_popescu: "independents" all appear to be varying degrees of "serials filed off" ; mostly realtek's
asciilifeform: the last 2 are wholly-owned usg thralls, while realtek is taiwanese and famous for, e.g., 'losing' signing certs later used in stuxnet, etc.
asciilifeform: this leaves me exactly where i was when i did this survey last year, and the year before, and...
asciilifeform: pericom only makes the pci bridge in these
asciilifeform: i meant, what is physically on the rosewill board.
mircea_popescu: most of these seem to buy bulk korean parts.
asciilifeform: i dun think they make the chipset
asciilifeform: again no usb plox, they are rubbish.
asciilifeform: but they are ~worthless for serious use
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a number of them
asciilifeform: same seems to be true of nvidia (only available in their southbridge ??)
asciilifeform: though if anyone turns one up, please link.
asciilifeform: killed does not appear to feature on a standalone board either
asciilifeform: marvell makes the pogo system-on-chip
mircea_popescu: 3com ; nvidia apparently makes them too ; something called marvell
phf: i think are behind the "Killer" brand
asciilifeform: does anyone know of a remaining maker of nic chipsets other than intel, broadcom, and realtek ?
asciilifeform: otherwise goes to where the other junk furniture goes.
asciilifeform: if chair wants to be spoken for, it has to find a sitter and make him happy.
mircea_popescu: in short, to codify years of extand practice, the "how to participate in the affairs" actually has a lot of bite. one who isn't a citizen has no rights. his complaints have no standing, whatever their content ; and no redress is available.
phf: hmm, that's an idea
asciilifeform: it must've been on trilema.
mircea_popescu: de-titling of the kulaks, as it were. nobody may hold title to any property, nor be entitled to equitable redress of any claim, unless they are a person, as this is defined.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, a comprehensive counter-imperial offensive will include measures meaningful to it, in its own terms.
mircea_popescu: in general title, and the concept of law, is an instrument of monarchy directed against the peerage.
asciilifeform: plenty took 'brainwallet' to the gallows.
asciilifeform: vaguely on subject - it is commonly supposed by n00bz that 'launch codes'-style absolute-yet-titleless property holding is a new, bitcoiny thing. but it is nothing of the kind, pirates did it.
asciilifeform: and sure, 'army and navy' is not a complete picture, it is possible to disagree a la hassan i sabbah, or mircea_popescu .
asciilifeform: if you convert the army and navy - let someone disagree
mircea_popescu: the thief doesn't own what he "holds"
mircea_popescu: mno. conversion, such as through theft, or mere possession, give no title in either law or equity.
asciilifeform: and if joe can disconnect doe's buttons, they are joe's, not doe's.
asciilifeform: loonybin napoleons hold 0 thrones.
asciilifeform: i.e. the buttons are connected.
mircea_popescu: it's not just "the right to vote" that goes away upon review and limitation of the franchise. derps simply can't hold property, whether they be "the government of the united states" or "jane doe".
mircea_popescu: anyway. the concept of "nothing to allcomers" logically extends to property on one hand ; the notion of holding property outside of a proper signature is utterly nonsensical on the other hand. however you look at things, a reversal of "progressive" innovation in legal matters is unavoidable.
asciilifeform: it is probably here in the house somewhere.
mircea_popescu: well so get the item itself.
mircea_popescu: eg "A note, payable to a feme covert, for a debt due to her while sole, is legally payable to the husband, and the property vests absolutely in him, and after his death, goes to his executor or administrator, and not to the wife." and other such wonders.
phf: i don't know the current mirror, i was using librusec, until that too went to shit
asciilifeform: gotta know the current mirror, they change what now, weekly?
phf: i like how first google link is to mashkov lib (or whatever's left of it, post-burning)
phf: when we all are digging irradiated carrots and remembering the good old "days of knowing (pre-Event)", mp will still be running bitcoin on those things
asciilifeform: either that or made of gurlz
phf: the next tmsr-machine!!1
asciilifeform: lel that thing
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-10-09#1295539 came across this thing again ☝︎
phf: trinque: mechanics of padmasana doesn't put weight on knees. i don't know what that lady is doing (that picture is straight up cargo cult), but even in her caise majority of her weight is on the lower buttocks
mircea_popescu: trinque women did! hence fat tail!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: try whatever it was you wanted.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seems to load ok, but logs show hammering earlier
trinque: plus I thought he only did trailer park emotional issues
trinque: claiming humans evolved to spend 8hrs on their asses or what?
phf: trinque: they don't in both cases there's a cushion
trinque: how the hell does anyone tolerate sitting on hard wood
mircea_popescu: o hey check it out, japan builds the legstands.
phf: asciilifeform: kind of, except they just have coffee table like things that you can put your laptop on
asciilifeform: phf: i bet they have it in japan.
phf: kind of disappointed this isn't a thing either, http://s3.amazonaws.com/cooltools_legacy/archives/duvall.jpg (was custom designed and built by herman miller for SAIL)
asciilifeform showed to pet, who noted 'the comp in every bit of science fiction written by thinking folk of old, the research console, starship bridge, etc'
asciilifeform: aaaah and there's its 'sibling'.
