phf: exactly same arguments i'd use
to convince someone
to use
tinyscheme i can use
to convince ~myself~
to use java..
mircea_popescu: "hey, it's not done like
that since
the 50s!
the 50s sucked!"
mircea_popescu: and
the same EXACT arguments you use could be used
to persuade me (or at least a dumber version)
to use java instead of
tinyscheme.
mircea_popescu: and from
that same angle,
the value of
tmsr engineer is g(value of burned pogos)
mircea_popescu: a) i've on many occasions said, "this is stupid but will be instructive, proceed" ; b) you
think
this is about production, which it isn't, it's educational.
mircea_popescu: phf
thinking about it, i
think
the switch has a lot
to do with
their delusional notion
that
they're somehow now in power.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> what's easier
than soldering a plug into a pre-prepped landing pad ? << ANYTHING
that doesn't involve "pre-prepped". what's easier
than marrying
this girl your mommy splayed out on
the bed for you ???
phf: i
thought
there was some cool shit, RAF for example had a very practical nazi beurocrat cleaning program
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, is EXACTLY what
they are.
the fashion world of ugly chicks and insecure betas.
mircea_popescu: they stand for exactly nothing ; one generation switch can change any major
tenet.
mircea_popescu: phf
that change, incidentally, makes me completely discount
the euro "left" movement.
mircea_popescu: shut up, if we end up back in 1890 you'll be
thankful for dpb.
mircea_popescu: anyway. powering a bunch of pogos in
the discussed way is neither
terribly difficult nor
terribly risky. it does require some reading, of course. and it does deviate from "how
things are done", which is a major asset.
phf: european leftists have been inexplicably at war with
trolling (which is a 180 change from how it was in
the 90s and prior), somehow went from CRASS
to respecting each others feelings, so
takes some conscious effort
to court some from
that circle
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i will remind you i am
the one who plans
to buy
the ancient collection of chinese miniature emperors on rice beads
phf: mircea_popescu: which interpretation? i'm saying
that
the way arguments are presented here is essentially "this is how it is, and you're an idiot for not grokking" as opposed
to some other, perhaps subtler, forms of rhetoric
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let
the man burn pogos. i will not change man
to protect pogos. wtf.
danielpbarron: recall i already did
the soldering
thing
to make adulterated pogo
mircea_popescu: phf methinks you may be alone in
that interpretation. i for instance don't do
the whole "accept as fairitale"
thing.
mircea_popescu: this brave new libertard world
that "holds people as
the greatest value", i am so sick of it!
mircea_popescu: i'm going
to power 100x 12 v
transformers because wut, "i can't make
things - gotta use chinese made!!1"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform would you stop getting in
the way of people doing
things omigerd.
phf: mircea_popescu: i
take rhetoric as separate from message. b-a rhetoric is firmly in asshole
tradition, i.e. strong statements and
the listener has an option
to find
the subtle point.
mircea_popescu: if one in 100 shorts you get a 1% increase, which
they don't care anyway.
nubbins`: i have
three SATA pogos and
two non-SATA
mircea_popescu: 320V DC out of wall socket is a electronics 101 project ever since
the
times of hte b&w photo clubs.
danielpbarron: using an sd card for
the userland, and in
two cases both had
the filesystem corrupted, which is why I had
to
try it on my sata-style pogo
mircea_popescu: (by a high voltage rectifier
thingee i mean
that iirc pogos draw 4.5 V dc. a > kv rectifier diode is
twenty bucks or something, you can make yourself an item you plug into
the wall and it feeds 100 pogos arranged in series out of maybe a hundy.)
mircea_popescu: if it can run an obscure wp blog, it certainly can run a bnc or whatever other such
thing. much better security model
than "i pay 20 dollars
to dc hosted blabla-freedom.net"
mircea_popescu: and since you have
the wot at your disposal most of
the costs involved in low end hosting (ie, keeping
the scum out) you're insulated from.
mircea_popescu: people would prolly be willing
to pay a few dollars /mo
to rent an ACTUAL physical box, which means you can
take a few hundred in exchange for a not-unreasonable upfront expenditure.
mircea_popescu: see if your isp is willing
to give you a c block / upgrade your connection. buy a coupla bridges of 32 or 64, make a high voltage rectifier
thingee, and power a bunch of boxes
mircea_popescu: see if you manage
to apply alf's
thing and if it runs well. if it does, a next step you can
take is :
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you know, it occurs
to me your idea
to run a webserver on pogo may actually be very valuable.
danielpbarron: i
think if i enable caching
the pogo might survive all
those hits at once better
danielpbarron: just so happens i had arch on pogo already set up, so it was
the easiest
to get blog going on
danielpbarron: if i'm gonna move off a pogo i'll use gentoo on whatever
the replacement is
danielpbarron: your comment is approved although i did
that after
the archive
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you know i
think comments are somehow broken ? i push
teh button, nothing happens.
danielpbarron: how do you get
to 1 from a shift of 2 away from 7?
mircea_popescu: this because 2 bits = 2^2 = 4. had
the shift been 17 bits,
then you'd get
to do 2^17 = 131072 old style hashings for each new style digest you calculate.
mircea_popescu: this means you get
to do 4 old style hashings for each new style digest you calculate.
mircea_popescu: hash2 would have been
the same for all nonces over 3, ie, 4, 5, 6 and 7. it'd have also been
the same for all nonces under 4, ie, 0, 1, 2 and 3.
mircea_popescu: if in fact a shift by 2 was in effect, it'd be
the case
that hash1=f(header+7) and hash2 = g(digest(1)+1)
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron let's work an example. say
the nonce is 7.
this means hash1=f(header+7) and hash2 = g(digest(7)+7)
mircea_popescu: and if i hire an immigrant irishman as a carpenter,
that STILL means he's gonna carpent in fucking new york, not
that i'm paying his passage back
to dublin
to make me some doors and window frames
there. wtf.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah, no.
they'd have
to get in wot and follow
teh rules, of course.
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 14:05:47; mircea_popescu: (to explain my
thought process
to
the curious bystander - i would have seriously considered
the application of a fiat-based receiver with provable practice but innocent of
the wot over solrodar's ; i won't consider such over davout's.
this means
that in
the past coupla days a window for some people
to actually make
their corpses useful
to
the world opened and closed - notwithstanding
their or anyone

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-03-2016#1435048 << if
the nonce is not shifted at all, each digest is good for exactly one nonce. if
the nonce is shifted one bit, each digest is good for 2 nonces. if it is shifted 10 bits, 1024 nonces. etc.
