a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:23 phf: i'm about to provision another machine based on asciilifeform's gentoo depotatoing, but i really wish tmsr had a better official distro
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-20#1485728 << it's a large project and generally not a ripe fruit yet, i don't think, but yes. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Lying shitgnome caught in the act NOT talking about computers https://archive.is/xooJH
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 17:39 trinque: if I can avoid working on a btcalpha replacement I'll be hacking on the payment system for deedbot
mircea_popescu: don't clean it up TOO much first, either. cheese gotta have some cheese flavour.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 15:23 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-20#1485638 << btcbase is deployed using v (not quite fully automatically yet though), and there's all kind of support infrastructure in that folder that i don't want to diff every time, but also don't want to shuffle around
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-20#1485691 << this is a major win, you'll have to publish the thing. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: jurov is it practical to just "do the same thing as Framedragger " ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, normally i'd have just let you do the conversion locally, but since Framedragger is such an impetuous youth, we're moving fast for once :D ☟︎
asciilifeform: i see no reason not to do same thing as for Framedragger's
mircea_popescu: recall, jurov parsed all of github, produced a pile of keys and the convertor code ☟︎
mircea_popescu: we're talking of the other one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is Framedragger 's set (servers) or jurov 's set (github, cliuents) ?
asciilifeform: all xx mil of them.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in case you missed it, he converted all the keys, i loaded, and they are being fed in even now.
jurov: i already explained I have no problem to convert, just that it will balloon the data up
mircea_popescu: we'll need a convertor anyway, the problem of non-compliant rsa implementation isn't going to go away suddenyl.
mircea_popescu: jurov if you dun feel like it, give it a little and Framedragger will make his thing a thing.
mircea_popescu: someone needs to tell mcafee that buying $5 worth of articles on craigslist results in $0 worth of verbiage.
jurov: asciilifeform: so I ought to, too?
mircea_popescu: i hope he lives off belly button lint, because any sort of social order in which this fuck is not starving is ipso facto broken
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 20:30 jurov: fine, fine, and what happened to this? http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-16#1483427
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-20#1485868 << phuctor is unchanged - Framedragger converted the ssh keys to pgp format. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-20#1485697 << let's zoom out on this derp's prose. "i was. I began. math was easy (FOR ME!). my grades. i got. i transferred. i would. i was. what i have. what i learned. that is TEN fucking paragraphs. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 15:19 phf: oh poop, i guess i'll have to work on hard bugs instead :/
mircea_popescu: hopefully his local dispensary has enough pills to medicate him back to copacetic normalcy
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-20#1485681 <<< lol @poor schmuck hallucinating self "novelist", deciding to press on ANYWAY in spite of craig derp beheading because he also hallucinates himself some sort of postmodern orpheus who;'s gonna lyre the beasts to sleep, only to fall flat. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-06-16 15:24 asciilifeform: understand, if i were to switch phuctor to storing IN this format, NO key it spits out will ever be eatable by gpg.
jurov: fine, fine, and what happened to this? http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-16#1483427 ☝︎☟︎
trinque: "I suspect because tmsr is being lax about read-the-logs beatings."
a111: Logged on 2016-06-17 20:43 asciilifeform: Framedragger: if you send me a tarball, they'll go in wholesale.
mircea_popescu thinks jurov's trying to stir shit up!
a111: Logged on 2016-06-16 15:41 asciilifeform: this incidentally is why phuctor had been a depressing thing for me. the thing i set out to find, i never found (evidence of diddled rng on pgp users' boxes.)
jurov: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-16#1483485 < i meant this discussion ☝︎
trinque: asciilifeform said he *would* feed them in.
jurov: or i misread the discussion?
jurov: "it's not fit for that purpose" or such
mircea_popescu: slow tho
jurov: Framedragger: if you already openpgp'd the keys, feeding them to phuctor via http is trivial
mircea_popescu: all the butthurt people, oh noes. what shall we ever do!
mircea_popescu: in other news, apparently the uk is looking at legal options to implement a recursive splitting from the eu and subsequently drain all euros.
trinque does a deedbot deploy for whitespace trimming around commands
mircea_popescu: in other "internet of things" lulz, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/c4fd4dd1-38d7-4cd8-b571-b415dd7c9919/
mircea_popescu: the days of gsm style gps "whatever stronger source wins" are done with the 90s
asciilifeform: (jammer is most usually ~below~ the victim, genuine article - above.)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: modern gps jamming countermeasures play clever tricks with ~direction~
trinque: the thing has to be emergency landed if GPS is lost?
trinque: who builds these things?
mats: i mean, USN only just restarted teaching stellar navigation, so...
asciilifeform: lizard jets can be toppled with cheap jammer ?
asciilifeform: recommends EMB Phenom pilots avoid the … testing area and closely monitor flight control systems,” the Notam reads.'
asciilifeform: 'The tests will potentially knock out all GPS-reliant services including WAAS, GBAS and, notably, ADS-B. The FAA also doesn’t want a lot of radio chatter about the outages and is urging pilots to report them if they need help from ATC. Operators of Embraer Phenom 300 business jets are being urged to avoid the area entirely. “Due to GPS Interference impacts potentially affecting Embraer 300 aircraft flight stability controls, FAA
asciilifeform: but by this time Research Publications, a Connecticut company, had sent it along with other microfiched documents to libraries across the country. The microfiche weren’t recalled after a government decision – it’s not clear by whom – that it would arouse attention. '
asciilifeform: 'NSC 26/2 was mistakenly declassified in 1985 by an archivist at the Truman Presidential Library which is part of the National Archives and Records Administration. A library official in a legal deposition deemed it the worst security breach in the National Archives’ history. A furious CIA demanded the archivist be fired, but he remained a library employee after losing his top-secret clearance. NSC 26/2 was reclassified top secret,
thestringpuller: "You know, I spend a lot of time, you know, thinking about all the shit I could've done. I mean, I wake up in the morning and I think, I could've been the motherfucking president. Shit. Nigga, I wish things had've been different. I mean, I'd do anything in the motherfucking world just for things to be different. I guess I'm just gonna be raping niggas' asses for the rest of my motherfucking life." - Random Prisoner Who Thought He Woul
a111: Logged on 2016-02-16 16:51 mircea_popescu: this is patriotism, in perhaps an extreme degree.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-16#1407078 << thread ☝︎
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: in ru prison, this position, once detected, gets you assigned to pederasty immediately. ☟︎
thestringpuller: of course the cost of that is your life. sometimes a prisoner would rather have dick up butt than shiv in kidney.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: there is always a 3rd option, 'fight to the death'.
trinque: itt thestringpuller henceforth dubbed justthetip
phf: you might not notice it, because you look at it from the perspective of release summaries and hacker news posts, but the kind of decisions that go into llvm are ~entirely~ driven by large corporate with large teams and large hardware needs. it's synergistic. ☟︎
thestringpuller: like if you HAD to have a dick up your butthole.
thestringpuller: not even just a little dick up the butthole?
phf: t it), but unlike federated gcc, llvm is owned entirely by apple and greater extent other apple aligned corporations. their interests are ~opposite~ to those of enterprising individuals.
phf: Framedragger: despite the rhetoric people here are extremely pragmatic. but when you think about these things there's no reason to allow sloppy thinking. the question is "how much of a dick up your ass is too much dick", and the healthy answer is "none at all". llvm is good technology (it gives you same kind of layering that a decent common lisp compiler does, but for languages that are not used to that kind of richness, so everyone's excited abou ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: 'i rode a tank, held a general's rank, while the blitzkrieg rages and the bodies stank...' (tm) (r)
asciilifeform: i'm personally riding two dozen untanks. ☟︎
trinque: "we will arrive at B with negative 50k men and three un-tanks"
trinque: moreover if you don't have a plan to march from A to B, B is pointless to consider strategically
thestringpuller: We pay for nice things. etc. etc.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: with current fabrication tech, the cost of fabricating any quantity of sane computer could never be earned back.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: we had this thread also a dozen times.
thestringpuller: Instead of the Bitcoin computer. S.NSA can make the TMSR Computer.
asciilifeform: (see logz, we had at least half a dozen 'if fpga actually existed' threads.)
asciilifeform: this is why the only tmsr silicon worth making is an fpga.
asciilifeform: nor does the effort of attempting sane os pay off, lacking stable iron.
asciilifeform: for so long as 'you can't buy this video board any moar' is a thing, at ALL, there neither is nor can be such a thing as sane driver set. ☟︎
asciilifeform: even if you reduce the 20 to, say, 5.
trinque: I'm clutching to hand-compiled driftwood on openbsd ☟︎
Framedragger on and off but generally not old enough to join the club. the documentation is a piece of work though..
asciilifeform: nor threatens to exist.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: no slopes, slippery or otherwise. simply pointing out that the 'you can buy this machine, and 20 yrs from now you can buy 100% compatible one' does NOT exist.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: that's a misuse of slippery slope i think; i could e.g. say then that any "concept" is not "stable" and not "truly ontologically grounded" or whatever. but i guess there's actual stuff / critique to be said about stability of hardware in particular, so, fair enough i guess
phf: Framedragger: fwiw i've spent about 4 years on freebsd, from 98 to 2002 or so and it pains me to no end that platform compromised where theo held the perimeters with an iron fist.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: this 'stable hardware' thing also doesn't exist.
Framedragger: phf: the latter is true i suppose, but on stable hardware configurations the"drivers" etc prolly does not apply. but sure, size etc
phf: but llvm is definitely toxic because it was designed with the ~explicitly stated goal~ of killing gcc
BingoBoingo: Framedragger: Sure like Debian. The freebsd problem is where there bugs keep popping up (i.e. places that make crypto impossibru)
asciilifeform: at any rate, all unix is architecturally defective in ways which inevitably lead to the same piles of shit we are kicking around today.
phf: Framedragger: linux is worst is better in this case. it sucks in the same way freebsd sucks, but it has more support, more software, more drivers, etc.
Framedragger: BingoBoingo: lol talk about selection bias;surely you can do the same for various linuxes
asciilifeform: it exists strictly because apple wanted to be rid of the gpl.

asciilifeform: Framedragger: because it is a political instrument of the enemy. ☟︎
Framedragger: too much thought compression
mats: llvm is p technically interesting
Framedragger: is llvm surely shit? i was always wary of it, but technically speaking, why shit?
asciilifeform: it is dead to me.
asciilifeform: and moved to shit compiler, throwing away gcc
