assbot: Successfully updated the rating for mircea_popescu from 1 to 2 with note: Esteemed cult leader and bitcoin expert. Have learned much from reading his offerings.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: being able to build anything whatsoever room-scale is a 'not for poorfag' thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, you know how to solve the problem but don't want to because not enough engineering involved.
asciilifeform: jurov: shielding a cm^2 thing is cheap?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i, like everybody else, know how to solve the problem expensively.
asciilifeform: certainly compared to 'faraday room'
asciilifeform: and over the ground (which, as mircea_popescu likes to remind us, has an impedance)
mircea_popescu: which incidentally is exactly how this problem is approached profesionally, insulate a room.
asciilifeform: jurov: you will find that good shielding is tricky, you get leakage over the supply rail
mircea_popescu: jurov at the rate he's going, the only sane aproach is to redo the wallpaper, in mesh.
jurov: replacing of usb cables with proper shielding might get the stuff done and easier to do than optic
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 2 for asciilifeform with note: trb and general wizard, slayer of enemies of the Republic both foreign and domestic.
shinohai: !rate asciilifeform 2 trb and general wizard, slayer of enemies of the Republic both foreign and domestic.
mircea_popescu: from this fundamental inequality all things follow, such as god fucking help you if you try to play the field agent with me.
asciilifeform: anyway if the 'ant catalogue' (per snowden2) is to be believed, it ~does~ fit in arse...
mircea_popescu: the point remains : acquiring and defending sovereignity, cheaper than trying to perfect anonimity.
asciilifeform: (traditional ru greeting to fella with bad aim)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: reminds me of 'file off that front sight'
mircea_popescu: cuz that's exactly where it's going. repeatedly.
assbot: Logged on 08-02-2016 00:13:06; mircea_popescu: sure. i've been hoping to do some snuff videos of "operatives" caught with gear for years now.
asciilifeform: btw, further thread necromancy, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=08-02-2016#1399548 << this is misguided, no one goes around with stereotypical 'black van' any longer, the gear is pocket-sized (knapsack at the most) ☝︎
jurov: does the 1,5m usb cable radiate so much?
mircea_popescu: da fuck is this "get to" nonsense.
assbot: Logged on 15-02-2016 16:04:22; trinque: shinohai: I mean specifically that they see all things as prohibited, aside exceptions you "get to"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-02-2016#1406125 << this is actually quite an important point. ☝︎
jurov: yes. but how would toslink help there
asciilifeform: anyway iirc we had this thread some time before.
asciilifeform: presently there is a predictable row/column scan pattern
asciilifeform: jurov: it is possible to make a trivial mod that obviates the need for shielding the scan matrix
jurov: maaybe if the keyboard was shielded, too
asciilifeform: a replacement controller pcb for ibm keyboard that does 'toslink' instead of ps/2, i would buy.
mircea_popescu: ima bow out of this convo.
asciilifeform: hence the thread.
asciilifeform: it is peripherals which are tricky
asciilifeform: jurov: this is not hard
asciilifeform: and again, the converter box imposes idiot limits on res/refresh
jurov: and do you have tempest computer case already?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't 'doesn't radiate' if you need a terminator plugged with normal copper, that does
asciilifeform: (also they all have ludicrous res limit)
mircea_popescu: then tujrns out that's not what you wantg.
mircea_popescu: dude, you are the one that said, and i quote, <asciilifeform> i'd like the cable that can be 1km long and doesn't radiate, plox
asciilifeform: so wtf's the use
asciilifeform: because connected to pc with guess what! normal cable.
asciilifeform: where is the fiber gpu ?
asciilifeform: i'd like the cable that can be 1km long and doesn't radiate, plox
mircea_popescu: i suspect that's the operational difference. yes you can't really bend sharply a dtvi cable.
jurov: i happen to prefer cables that are't sensitive to get pinched inadvertently
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'learns' in the circus sense. the lions that did not learn, went for bear food
mircea_popescu: learns ? what the fuck is wrong with you.
mircea_popescu: i don't think you understand this whole "Consumer" thing all too well.
jurov: also, to have gigabit 4K bandwidth, you need singlemode fiber. and that has much more expensive connectors
BingoBoingo: In my experience it is same people who drop pnohe that repeat that mistake indefinitely
asciilifeform: just as chumpers learned not to drop ipnohe.
asciilifeform: learns not to bend.
mircea_popescu: optic cables are more fragile than anything found in derp house.
asciilifeform: so high that three metres is too long ?!
assbot: TOSLINK - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1Ocy01x )
asciilifeform: 'takes well to damage' is not a thing
asciilifeform: and have you tried bending copper dvi cable ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: terminators !?
mircea_popescu: because fiber needs terminators and doesn't take well to damage.
asciilifeform: i am speaking of: why the everliving fuck is the gpu connected to the lcd with anything other than a single strand of fiber.
asciilifeform: jurov: because, again, the ~extender~ is an active circuit
asciilifeform: even though it would be, in all likelihood, ~cheaper~ to make
asciilifeform: jurov: i always found it interesting that you can't get display cable ~optic~
jurov: aw, tvtropeswent full bootstrap.. my eyes hurt
mircea_popescu: and is consequently even more of a heel than his father could ever have been
BingoBoingo: But asciilifeform They are floating around the names of other loyal Indians
mircea_popescu: the political future belongs to the current 15 yo who grew up during bharara's days
mircea_popescu: bharara has no political future anymore than that guy deleted out of stalin's picture did.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: He seems like a clear Senate veto for his history of persecuting elected officials. More likely he'll be the Bernie Sanders Attorney General
mircea_popescu: seems unavoidable for the us.
mircea_popescu: old women are one of the most horrible bases to build government onto.
BingoBoingo: Turns out the only democratic party segments Clitler appeals to are old women and people who directly trade favors with the Clinton establishment
mircea_popescu: i guess the obama section of democrats are resigned to losing to the other one, or else they wouldn't be running around with this sort of crap.
BingoBoingo: No one's talking Preet yet
BingoBoingo: But it's normal for people dying of natural causes in their sleep to struggle a bit.
BingoBoingo: 30 years on the bench and he was still one of the younger ones
BingoBoingo: Young for a Justice of the Surpreme COurt
BingoBoingo: Guess this is the Classi, with a dick on the C fucking the a in the assi, version of zipping self into duffelbag in the tub
assbot: Logged on 20-11-2015 01:55:31; asciilifeform: 'you got due process, now stfu and sizzle in the electric chair' -- scalia
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 20:15:45; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: this is where scalia's magical formula comes into play
BingoBoingo: Came out today, turned the thing into news
asciilifeform: e.g., if thing has any pattern in the redraw, not necessarily crt-like raster
asciilifeform: laugh, but with 'oled' display, 'optical tempest' can come back
asciilifeform: or the like.
asciilifeform pictures some usg pit developing a grease, of snot-like consistency, to fluoresce in rf, to slather on victim's lcd while he sleeps
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: realize that this would be a greater marvel than washington building a magical ray to give us both ballsack cancer
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, "this shield is passible to X frequency"
asciilifeform: https://www.pgo-online.com/intl/katalog/ito.html << claims to sell the real thing, indium glass
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the other consideration is that JUST LIKE WITH a cipher... there could be hidden key in there.,
asciilifeform: or hm, is this still the mesh foil.
asciilifeform: would be interesting to compare to the indium thing, e.g., http://hollandshielding.com/231-EMI%20shielded%20glass
asciilifeform: would work, but a bit thin
mircea_popescu: moreover, given the technology of making cds
asciilifeform: essentially one is making 'notch filter at terahertz' metamaterial.
mircea_popescu: i almost wouldn't even need my "run gamma at 40%" thing
asciilifeform: for extra points, have two or more layers of this, ~where the holes don't line up~. how does the light pass? sheet of glass between! partial internal reflection.
asciilifeform: (solid copper - heavy-gauge pcb; many vias; mount surface mount led opposite side; attach pcb-mounted shield to led side)
mircea_popescu: due to the low power consumption of modern displays, this really can just be the mount.
