asciilifeform: diana_coman: the simplest way i thought of to finesse the reordering thing is simply to run synchronously ( i.e. at no point does sender send a new packet unless old one replied; if there's no reply, sender retries a certain # of times, and if still silence, declares the connection broken )

a111: Logged on 2018-09-14 16:55 asciilifeform: diana_coman: keep in mind that udp packets can get arbitrarily reordered in flight.

a111: Logged on 2018-09-14 18:09 phf: asciilifeform: i have a bigendian box and i also tested at least one call for bigendian test on it. i think it was diana_coman's keccak though

asciilifeform: diana_coman: keep in mind that udp packets can get arbitrarily reordered in flight. ☟︎

asciilifeform: diana_coman: then you may want to wrap unix recv() as i described ( can use my mmap example )

asciilifeform: diana_coman: currently you're only stuck with streams on acct of gnatsockets peculiar design

a111: Logged on 2018-09-14 12:38 diana_coman: re unchecked.conversion - there is still the issue of flipping the bytes though; this needs more thinking

a111: Logged on 2018-09-14 12:37 diana_coman: as I was writing that I was thinking that an unchecked.conversion for the whole thing might work - provided arrays are indeed stored as one would expect in a continuous space

asciilifeform: diana_coman: incidentally, i was initially quite unsure re the wisdom of using the streams. but they are part of the standard and do appear to work as described. however for your application it isn't even clear to me that you need'em , could simply call out to unix's socket routine and get octet array of fixed length (e.g. 512byte) to work on.

asciilifeform: the only lang feature that gets in the way of this partitioning is 'generics', but iirc diana_coman did not use these anywhere ☟︎

asciilifeform: diana_coman: and incidentally ( as you prolly already discovered ) you can keep the restrictive flags, on the subset of the coad that doesn't use tasking. ( and this applies in general )

phf: diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=smg-comms and http://btcbase.org/patches/smg_comms_genesis (i found the sig in /vpatches/)

phf: diana_coman: hey, the smg.comms genesis sig link is not resolving

asciilifeform: this is not directly relevant to diana_coman's application tho

asciilifeform: diana_coman: re streams, you may find the 'buf_streams' item in horse.tar.gz interesting

asciilifeform: diana_coman: currently i am lacking a bigendian iron (or a gnat for such) so never got a chance to truly and properly test endianism conversion (as for ffa, it is endian-insensitive, but this is simple where there is no networking)

asciilifeform: diana_coman: i dun see anything obviously ugly in your example, btw

asciilifeform: diana_coman: did you ever see the 'nqb' item asciilifeform posted in '17 ? had various imho good examples of operations on streams

a111: Logged on 2018-09-14 12:31 mircea_popescu: diana_coman entirely possible you're the first one to ever put udp through gnat.sockets.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-14#1850323 << i have a proggy, but it dun seem like i ever published the item, so diana_coman will have to count as 1st ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-14#1850315 << pretty neat diana_coman ☝︎

mircea_popescu: diana_coman http://ossasepia.com/2018/09/14/smgcomms-implementation-chapter-1/#selection-111.394-111.513 << this'll have to change though, there's no way it can work out like that

mircea_popescu: diana_coman entirely possible you're the first one to ever put udp through gnat.sockets. ☟︎

trinque: diana_coman: thanks! coming along, squealing in protest though it does.

asciilifeform: diana_coman, mod6 : ty. will zero the olds.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman amusingly, the latest "stabilization" or we was 60 years later huh. how much were eggs cca 2004, before the 1:10`000 conversion ? 5k or so, 10k for easter ?

mircea_popescu: diana_coman welcome back to online for your blog btw!

a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 15:34 asciilifeform: diana_coman, mod6 : plz say when ok to zero the retired drives ( dun have to be immediate, but it takes a day or so and would like to get'em mailed to my vivisection table )

asciilifeform: diana_coman, mod6 : plz say when ok to zero the retired drives ( dun have to be immediate, but it takes a day or so and would like to get'em mailed to my vivisection table ) ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: diana_coman: test anyffing you can think of.

asciilifeform: diana_coman: fwiw fg is not affected by resets; but i won't presume ever to tell anybody not to test theirs ( personally i only 'is it still there?' on machine boot, but thats just me )

lobbesbot: diana_coman: Sent 10 hours and 5 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plox to log into your unit and put it through any necessary tests

asciilifeform: diana_coman also be sure to test yours

asciilifeform: mod6: plox to credit diana_coman with phree day of rk service, and yerself -- 8d

asciilifeform: mod6, diana_coman you should be back in biznis nao, plz say asap if notice any problem.

asciilifeform: !Q later tell diana_coman plox to log into your unit and put it through any necessary tests

asciilifeform: update : diana_coman's disk set to copy in parallel with mod6's

asciilifeform: diana_coman and mod6 will be bitwise-copied to the 2 virginal spares today, and the entire cluster will be moved onto new sticks . the latter will be obtained asap.

asciilifeform: danke schon diana_coman

asciilifeform: diana_coman: meanwhile i'ma have to issue diana_coman and mod6 with spare sticks after all, so diana_coman plox to give signal when ok to power down your unit

asciilifeform: diana_coman: we found the culprit, will report here shortly

asciilifeform: vacant unit 'A' behaves same as diana_coman's , and exactly same after april kernel re-emplaced there

asciilifeform: ( there appear to be four affected units, incl. diana_coman's )

asciilifeform: danke schon diana_coman

asciilifeform: diana_coman: one other q -- which kernel are you presently using ?

asciilifeform: diana_coman: plox to lemme know if you find any clue re why the machine fell.

asciilifeform: diana_coman: this is not bad approach ( tho i still have my boxen set to come to life on boot, as sometimes i am away from console for entire day )

asciilifeform: however diana_coman's did not come to life on boot, so i suspect a config oddity

asciilifeform: diana_coman: and if anything in /var/log/messages loox strange.

asciilifeform: diana_coman: see if you can find why your apache fell down

asciilifeform: diana_coman: that'd explain

asciilifeform: diana_coman: this produced an apparently normal (uartwise) boot

asciilifeform: diana_coman: we temporarily powered up your unit with the drive on usb2 bus

asciilifeform: diana_coman: do you see anyffing peculiar in the logs ?

asciilifeform: diana_coman: that's pretty odd, i could not get it to tcp on 22

a111: Logged on 2018-09-11 16:56 diana_coman: the lifetime of this drive though seems veeery short, so I need to decide on wtf

asciilifeform: however, diana_coman's unit boots, and initializes ssh , etc , but doesn't appear to actually listen on the port

asciilifeform: diana_coman: plz give ( or not ) permission to modify your rk filesystem to enable uart console ( /etc/inittab )

asciilifeform: diana_coman: can you ssh to your rk nao ?

asciilifeform: diana_coman: plz pop into #p & watch for updates, we are in the process of eliminating other potential culprits

asciilifeform: diana_coman: this is strictly optional

asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma ask BingoBoingo to plug this disk into one of your other boxes (plox to choose which one) so you can recover any state you had not a chance to back up; meanwhile you will be issued a spare .

asciilifeform: diana_coman: currently looks like you have a dying ssd

asciilifeform: diana_coman: yes i know

lobbesbot: diana_coman: Sent just now: <asciilifeform> didja rebuild your rk kernel with no xhci ( usb3 ) ?

asciilifeform: !Q later tell diana_coman didja rebuild your rk kernel with no xhci ( usb3 ) ?

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-09-11 09:31 diana_coman: good morning; I can't seem to be able to connect to my rockchip anymore: http (ossasepia.com) gives 403 You don't have permission to access / on this server ; ssh refuses connection too; there was NO change as far as I know - I haven't touched it in quite a while and last time I connected everything worked fine; any idea what might be wrong there, BingoBoingo ?

asciilifeform: ACHTUNG all pizarro rockchip customers ! if you modified your /etc/conf.d/net , in recent 2 weeks, plz say ! asciilifeform currently suspects that somebody munged theirs, and it may account for diana_coman's unreachable box, we may have to take the pilot plant down for maintenance and manually dig, if nobody says anyffing

mircea_popescu: diana_coman /me also answered the ancient debate meanwhile!

mircea_popescu: meanwhile in ancient trilemas, http://trilema.com/2011/planeta-pizdutelor/#comment-71237 << diana_coman recommends Cordwainer Smith (aka Linebarger) & a certain Vance as literate sf. anyone read these ?

mircea_popescu: lettuce offer a mn ECus to whoever of the rotaku club that produces the correct notation of that thing. hanbot diana_coman an' spyked are kindly asked to stay out of it!

mircea_popescu: diana_coman sounds like a plan.

hanbot: lol diana_coman ! kiddo's expertly-annunciated "a bit!" lives on in daily interjection here.

a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 10:31 diana_coman: mircea_popescu, that Kirk fellow sounds great and I'd rather have read something written by him than lewis

mircea_popescu: diana_coman i suppose we have a "reputation" among the script kiddies ahem i mean "hackers" etcetera.

a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 10:20 diana_coman: who are you rain1 ?

mircea_popescu: diana_coman fixed sonnow, tennified, annangement/s, embannassment, annogant ; sunnoundedm occunned, were already fixed somehow. thanks!

mircea_popescu: diana_coman further fixed ; say if you see even mora

BingoBoingo: diana_coman: ty, gears are grinding to spin up something

mod6: diana_coman: nice pics

nicoleci: diana_coman, ahh good point. ill keep that in mind, if i ever do find someone who can read the text

a111: Logged on 2018-09-05 16:42 mircea_popescu: diana_coman do you recall the complaint of the police a few years ago that "you've got all these written exams, now we're stuck making police agents out of girlies, god help us" ?

a111: Logged on 2018-09-05 16:27 asciilifeform: diana_coman: i suspect (tho cannot know) that douchebag understood that he was useless , and took refuge in religion.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman which generates anxiety.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman alright ; but do you see the argument that ~school as an institution~ provides a higher onthological threat to the boy than to the girl, specfifically because of this implicit "we'll make you something else" promise ?

mircea_popescu: diana_coman do you recall the complaint of the police a few years ago that "you've got all these written exams, now we're stuck making police agents out of girlies, god help us" ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: diana_coman ah, i just meant the minor side point of "competent at wrong thing".

a111: Logged on 2018-09-05 16:05 diana_coman: I'd just put side by side http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-05#1847919 with http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-01#1838630 and leave it there for comparison by any interested parties

mircea_popescu: diana_coman and consider : she's younger than him.

BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> I did hear a lot of dutch and german too,that is true; but all the dollar-prices and loads of English spoken and the baked in assumption - American, I don't know << Lots of Germans passed through the hostel (less than Latinos/Brasileros) they speak English because their hollywood ended in 1940s

asciilifeform: diana_coman: dunno whether you knew, but in usa there is ~substantial~ population of folx who... haven't a passport.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman well, you didn't ~make them~.

asciilifeform: diana_coman, mircea_popescu : do folx still make croc leather ?

asciilifeform: diana_coman: holy fuq, who the fuck chains up a crocodile. why not humanely put a 12ga to its head, omfg

mircea_popescu: diana_coman it's there, harap alb, etc.

asciilifeform: diana_coman: take which. on my home planet the story had a 3way fork.
