asciilifeform: phf: i once sank good bit of time into attempt to bring up the ubiquitous 'crab nic' (realtek gb) from asm. broke teeth, it needs a working interrupt stack to run (i.e. 'spittoon in 1 strand', need entire os) . since then, found the 'seekrit' datashit, theoretically could do it, but not had time. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-02-03 17:27 mircea_popescu: in other news, mp's own bash grenadiers regiment suggests an ad interim solution for http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-02#1891951 in the shape of ls | grep ^x..$' | while read line; do curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} -X POST -F "pastebox=@$line" http://p.bvulpes.com -w %{url_effective}; done

mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i'm about to transfer ~15 gb worth of pics through http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-03#1892065 mechanism, and it occurs to me... hey ben_vulpes would this be criminal misuse of the system ? ☝︎

asciilifeform also catching up , with the bloody ch18, the php crapola ate up moar sweat than -- i think -- any prev. ch, possibly aside from barrett

mircea_popescu: im thinking of catching up with all the invoicing this weekend.

asciilifeform: ty for the work, mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: got it, worx. plox to deedbot-invoice asciilifeform (i'ma have to refill the piggy before i can fill it tho). ☟︎

phf: asciilifeform: right, snabb doesn't have some of our restrictions, i.e. they accept all kinds of modern gnarl in exchange for the ability to send raw packets. i'm not sure their approach even works on old cards

mircea_popescu: maybe not fs. but it takes a bite.

asciilifeform: nic is the 1 inescapable peripheral when baking os; and by far the gnarliest.

asciilifeform: ( comparatively easy to bake fs, scheduler, etc , next to this )

feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/din-togo-din-togo-da-de-a-cui/ << Trilema -- Din Togo, din Togo... da' de-a cui ?

phf: they use some subset of intel cards that let you push/pull own raw packets from userspace, essentially bypassing linux tcpip implementation. that is a direction to consider..

a111: Logged on 2018-08-21 17:36 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-20#1843300 << little known fact: slime's architecture was originally implemented in a similar project for erlang called distel, by the same author luke gorrie. lukego also wrote an emacs clone in erlang and tcp/ip stack in cmucl.

a111: Logged on 2019-05-29 08:51 spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-22#1915245 <-- in other c coad, /me spent his last 2-3 weeks looking at the tcp stack implementation in linus' kernel. it is truly a fungus, macguyvered with duct tape and rubber bands, such that changing one line almost anywhere breaks shit all over the place.

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-29#1916138 << this is apropos http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-21#1843481 lukego went on to write snabb switch, which is userspace network appliance construction kit ☝︎☝︎

phf: i'm not sure that's particularly useful. at the time i was still switching between running btcbase on hunchentoot in prod and on alisp/aserve in development

phf: i'm also using http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/talks/defservice/ in front of it, and i added support for hunchentoot, so i rarely write anything that looks like hunchentoot specific code.

a111: Logged on 2019-05-29 08:42 spyked: in particular, I saw trinque, phf and ben_vulpes have been using it in the past, so I'd appreciate any input you have on the matter

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-29#1916136 << i'm using hunchentoot-1.2.35 but that's in no way explored, that's whatever i got out of quicklisp on first btcbase deploy ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: afaik this worx in ~erry country -- if you never encounter any official busybodies at all, why wouldja get kicked.

mp_en_viaje has been working on this god damned article ALL FUCKING DAY

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, well, meanwhile since i'm here put a little more weight into the network and so on.

BingoBoingo: And in local cultural weird, the pichis are more likely to tell the government surveyors they smoke "pasta base" (cocaine refining waste product) than marijuana https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/personas-que-viven-en-la-calle-aumentaron-a-2-038-segun-datos-del-mides-2019530111026

asciilifeform: how found that he's a blue muppet ? ( caught and connected to 220v and confessed? ) or indirect ?

mp_en_viaje: i thought it's a little weird, /me throws a small bone, dog studiously pretends to not notice while tryna get all sorta typically needful "projects" off ground, like writing books and makign tv pilots.

asciilifeform: ( and with modern-day ru-style cyrillic, rather than the slavonic pre-1860 thing seen in ro museums )

asciilifeform: re moldavia : asciilifeform has a hilarious ro textboot, from sovok-era moldavia. exactly , near as i can tell, ordinary ro, but cyrillicized

mp_en_viaje: moar like schmuck. vagabond. bum. how do you call these ? student ?

asciilifeform: so moar informant/stooge than 'spy' then

mp_en_viaje: "you're still working for the government, you just don't get a pension"

mp_en_viaje: i think by now they use a sort of auxiliaries that are allowed to marry.

asciilifeform: afaik traditionally marrying aboriginals is verboten for these

mp_en_viaje: ~schmuck, but you know how it is, these have the easiest time

mp_en_viaje: apparently he's been working for usg.blue this whole time.

mp_en_viaje: cuz that's where the job sends, yes ?

asciilifeform: also waithefuq would anyone move to transnistria. why not to proper ru.

mp_en_viaje: making a lot of noise about... that.

mp_en_viaje: dood moved to romania, made a lot of noise about himself (iirc even married some local). meanwhile moved on to transnistria ("moldavia" thing).

mp_en_viaje: in other usg lulz : back in 2010 there was romanian gavin : https://kingofromania.com/2011/12/31/the-foot-of-the-ladder/

mp_en_viaje: closed two days later i wonder ? probably... ALSO the investor's fault ? it's not like "everything the government makes IS shit", not at all ?

mp_en_viaje: imagine if someone collected all the us-ranged dependopopotami, all those suburban fat wives looking for someone to validate their concerns, and sold them off.

mp_en_viaje: clearly, this'd be the fault of the investors.

mp_en_viaje: imagine, if say the usg were sold on the market. do you think it'd either be closed in two days, or just discontinued for being shit ?

a111: Logged on 2015-05-19 00:48 justJanne: Every. Single. Time. A governmentally owned institution got sold to a US investor they either closed down 2 days later, became shit, or just expensive.

mp_en_viaje: a nice t0 hear!

ave1: and then the bridge between the insane world and sane trilema became harder and harder to cross

ave1: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-01#1910413, not dead, to get up to speed I let my new job take over my life ☝︎

BingoBoingo: Still, the Herbal and the viagra are there. The seekrit email doesn't have seekrit, and the email part is doubtful

BingoBoingo: Well, here's hwo herbal viagra works. They get some dry herbal and spray with with viagra then put in capsules. Sell as "herbal viagra" far more honest than the seekrit scamola

asciilifeform: standing next to the 'seekrit email' people, e.g. the 'herbal viagra' pushers look honest. (at least viagra actually exists)

asciilifeform: still beggars belief. these imho are almost literally 'selling brooklyn bridge'.

mp_en_viaje: experimentally, plentyone can still be found to fall for the "just the tip" flavour.

asciilifeform: how the fuck do they get marketed..? 'OUR promisejuice is 9000x moar truthy than $rival's' ?!

a111: Logged on 2019-05-29 23:45 mp_en_viaje: being a common "private" email service recommended outside the republic > being a "private" email service commonly recommended outside the republic ?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-29#1916188 << i find it riotously lulzy that anyone still can be found to fall for the 'seekrit email' flavour of scamola. srsly, wtf ☝︎

asciilifeform suspects that dijkstra would've enjoyed 'peh', where there aint even such a thing as a jump

mp_en_viaje: not sure how to formalize it, because obviously, "change" in general connotes hilary & her merry dnc

asciilifeform: then sure. d called it 'structured programming' (i.e. the craft of ~not~ writing a proggy like this)

mp_en_viaje: right. that's what i mean re dlc

mp_en_viaje: you familiar with this phenomenon when, when a change is required, good program needs 1 line touched and github program needs EVERY line touched ?

mp_en_viaje: how shall i formalize the idea here...

asciilifeform: broken proggy , more times than not , gets caught in compiler

asciilifeform: often enuff, won't. sorta half the appeal of ada

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, it will ~compile~ tho

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-29#1916180 << direct or inverse proportion ? in e.g. ffa, the # of 'can be changed an' still work' is ~0 ☝︎

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, it's not the first time!

mp_en_viaje: whatever, next best use for tennessee is the "accidental" re-routing of spent nuclear fuel packages.

a111: Logged on 2019-05-29 23:34 mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-29#1916147 << you're doing the anchors backwards.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-29#1916184 << noticed almost immediately, lol, but ty ☝︎

mp_en_viaje: they're also not counting my dick going down their throat.

BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: AHA, the catch is IEA doesn't count Russia, China, or India as "advanced economies"

mp_en_viaje: get the fuck out of here. there will be 10 TW nuclear operational by 2040.

BingoBoingo: In wankers "nuclear capacity operating in advanced economies would decline by two-thirds by 2040, from about 280GW in 2018 down to just over 90GW in 2040" << If the capacity is declining, they aren't "advanced economies" unless "advanced" means Africanizing

BingoBoingo: Sure, but that involves breaking a bunch of rather ingrained habits.

asciilifeform: can even pack 1:1 volumetric like the turks themselves do.

BingoBoingo: And failed at month 11 of the 1 year guarantee

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: get a https://archive.is/UQmLg . cheap, and you'll never want 'machine coffee' after tasted from it.

BingoBoingo: However I am curious how the cheapest model on the local market failed.

BingoBoingo: In other news, the Cafetera died. An autopsy will be performed.

BingoBoingo: And routers on network borders need the entire BGP table in RAM

asciilifeform: or how routers on erry hop of a connection are forced to maintain a 'circuit' state in memory, as if they were telco switches

asciilifeform: tcp shows erry possible sign of having been designed, from the start, to extend the ease of snoopage from traditional circuit-switched telco grid, to the packet world. consider e.g. the 'helpfully' plaintext sequence numbers. ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2017-03-14 14:31 asciilifeform: Framedragger: the problem with tcp isn't simply that enemy can insert an RST packet and make you blame your peer. (and whitelists do 0 against this.) but that it is very expensive , computationally, long before you have any idea who you're talking to.

a111: Logged on 2016-08-26 13:34 asciilifeform: tcp is evil, fundamentally because it violates the 'NEVER something-for-nothing-to-all-comers-FUCKOFFRANDOS' principle.

asciilifeform: see e.g. old thrd re subj . ☝︎

asciilifeform: the protocol is 'fractally retarded' -- i.e. broken on absolutely erry possible level. starting from where it takes exactly 1 trivially forged packet to close someone's connection, to where 'allcomers' get a substantial chunk of memory allocated , and make ddos trivial , to where it forces 9000x moar complicated design of routing gear, to... could continue but why.

asciilifeform: i vaguely suspect that it may have been the original usg-'standards committee'-powered explicitly-organized nobus generator

asciilifeform: spyked: not only is the implementation what it is, but tcp per se is massive pile o'shit, where it aint even possible to implement it w/out 9000 tonnes of state machine gnarl
