a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 15:07 mircea_popescu: diana_coman can i get you behind this "iptables are for amateurs" line ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: correct.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman thinking logically : either this is a problem or it isn't. if it is a problem, then it should be handled upstream not by server.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman can i get you behind this "iptables are for amateurs" line ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: collectively.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i used nothing at all. given as bandwidth hogs dun seem to ever have any trouble coming up with ~infinite new ip proxies.
trinque: diana_coman: that's going to have speed implications for anyone attaching an external drive, neh?
mircea_popescu: alright. so basically, we have a july latest-kernel from alf at http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/conf_current.conf << diana_coman trinque erryone else interested read and see if it works for you / comment ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-08-01 21:28 diana_coman: after reading around on this mess with the usb speeds, the summary + questions would be: 1. the dwc_otg seems actually specific to raspberry pi so I don't see how it's directly useful atm; am I missing something? 2. the manual/runtime pill so far relies on the companion mechanism to force a USB port down from "high speed" to "full speed" so basically from ehci to uhci/ohci; wouldn't it make more sense to blacklist ehci, xhci and whatever
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fwiw it comes by default with all asciilifeform-prepared boxen nao, incl. all new rk customer.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you copy kernel from the 2nd smg box, you get iptables.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: aah we're speaking of the april box
trinque: diana_coman: mind throwing me your kernel .config for comparison with mine?
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 14:16 diana_coman: asciilifeform, trinque in case it helps, the kernel option I need to turn on in order to be able to run iptables on the smg machine is networking support/networking options/network packet filtering framework/core netfilter configuration/netfilter xtables support
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-04#1847258 << diana_coman i was under the (possibly mistaken) impression that i built smg box with iptables-able kernel. but was not ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: diana_coman 's thing above serving as a "no less than" seeing how minigame is a major downstream adopter ; and the usual "more loc ?! fu!" as a "no more than" driver.
trinque: iirc diana_coman is running an asciilifeform kernel, but I think alf approaches kernels similarly to me: "nothing broke when I turned this off, so off" until that heuristic bumps into something. going to be different bumps in different deployments.
hanbot: mircea_popescu hanbot also had a good chuckle when diana_coman's kiddo found the backseat stash: "i've found a thing!"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846904 << ask diana_coman about that rum. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 16:24 diana_coman: to me apple stuff is still essentially a fashion item and yes, usually that comes with insanity as far as I can tell
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 16:25 diana_coman: in principle yes; in practice, I'm not sure anymore where does scrubbing end essentially
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 15:50 asciilifeform: diana_coman: on one hand, it makes for straight recipe for cuntoo lappy; but on other, it would still be slightly syphilitic , i.e. not wholly scrubbed of googlism
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fashions aside, if you're misfortunate enuff to need a recent x86-64 lappy where can attach large external displays, wifi, etc without aeons of config tweaking and flaky, yer stuck with crapple
asciilifeform: diana_coman: at least that one's scrubbable, rather than in drm rom
asciilifeform: diana_coman: on one hand, it makes for straight recipe for cuntoo lappy; but on other, it would still be slightly syphilitic , i.e. not wholly scrubbed of googlism ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: to be very specific, i did not properly break cr50. what i found instead was an apparently-Official (albeit undocumented) knob in the most recent fw release, which does equiv of rma unlock ( sets all of the permission bits for console ) and enables spi bus access, through which can r/w the main and ec fw turds.
asciilifeform: iirc BingoBoingo has taken delivery of the samsung disks, so the box can be expanded to full size when mircea_popescu & diana_coman give the signal
Mocky: diana_coman, no matter where you put "if Mocky will keep eating waffles" it gets inlined, since it always evaluates to true
mod6: Hi diana_coman! Thank you for your feedback.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-30 23:00 diana_coman: none of the links on bimbo.club work for me -> I can't leave a comment
mircea_popescu: diana_coman lmao! they have a point
mircea_popescu: o hey there diana_coman !
mircea_popescu shall proceed to coffee with diana_coman in a few, but thereafter will be back, so no worries.
lobbesbot: Logged on 2018-06-10 18:59:23: <diana_coman> so you want to ever mix only same quantity of items and of qualities either both odd or both even so you don't lose anything
mircea_popescu: diana_coman did it also have the "uefi" bs ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman what do you mean label ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman you got a new employee too, see #eulora
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i got a coupla dozen pingbacks from you lol ; i'm guessing something's working
hanbot: <diana_coman> hanbot, your link in ^ is broken << fixed, thank you.
lobbesbot: diana_coman: Sent 6 hours and 34 minutes ago: <lobbes> if you still need the footnotes php for mp-wp, I have a copy up here >> http://lobbesblog.com/static/footnotes.php.tar.gz
lobbes: !Qlater tell diana_coman if you still need the footnotes php for mp-wp, I have a copy up here >> http://lobbesblog.com/static/footnotes.php.tar.gz
a111: Logged on 2018-08-06 19:33 diana_coman: ugh, on mp-wp I have avatars fine but I don't have footnotes?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman you call them with space double parens " (("
asciilifeform: congrats diana_coman
mircea_popescu: diana_coman aok
mircea_popescu: diana_coman all muh comments go to modqueue!
asciilifeform: diana_coman: re 'student bloopers', 1990s classic re subj, https://archive.is/UyuCi ( rumoured to be a gag, but entertaining )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i think my comment went to your spam trap
a111: Logged on 2018-08-05 00:18 asciilifeform: diana_coman: pretty great collection of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-01-21#1379603 .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: pretty great collection of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-01-21#1379603 . ☝︎☟︎
hanbot: diana_coman got it, ty!
mod6: diana_coman: I tried to connect to eulora, but I suspect the problem is that I haven't tried to login since the new server moved to its new home at Pizarro.
hanbot: diana_coman http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/QZ6cM/?raw=true
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: You are plugged in once again
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: ty, I'll head over there in a little bit
asciilifeform: diana_coman, mircea_popescu : i'd still recommend adding a timeout ( and log alarm if it ever actually times out ) to the FG reader in the s.mg routine -- it isn't physically impossible for the box to die
asciilifeform: ( if diana_coman wants to take a crack at this, worx, otherwise asciilifeform will do it later this wk )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: re usb1 forcing, i was thinking the proper pill might be to write a shell thing that parses output of lsusb -t and does the correct magics ; rather than modded kernel
asciilifeform: diana_coman: problem dun seem to exist on my desk rockchip. ( and in the end we'll move the rk FGs over to the convenient built-in TTL serialports )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: 'nexts' wouldn't affect the existing iron tho.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: on server ? can't think of any, aside from 'backups to/from external drives'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: seems that you're right re the flag, it is specific to a nonstandard kernel
asciilifeform: diana_coman: afaik that's the only reliable way, usb bus numbering isn't iirc stable across boots
asciilifeform: diana_coman: you'll probably want to make it happen on boot.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: interestingly, in my (conventional gentoo) userland, worked as posted ( i.e. with the newline )
asciilifeform: diana_coman, mircea_popescu lemme know if the given cure, is curative. ( no change to diana_coman's coad is needed )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: usb1 switchover also confirmed to cure log barfola.
asciilifeform: diana_coman ^
asciilifeform: dozen runs of diana_coman's test all work
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the line_request one is sporadic ( erry dozen or so runs )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: do you observe same on your box ?
asciilifeform: btw, diana_coman , mircea_popescu , there's visible sys log barf from pl2303 when operating diana_coman's test :
asciilifeform: diana_coman: further pl2303 mod lulz, https://archive.is/CefaN
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i confirmed ( coupla dozen shots ) hang only ever takes place on 1st read() after open().
asciilifeform: diana_coman: lulzily, turns out that our horror show is not unknown, https://archive.fo/kRfZy ( spoiler: none of the proposed pills, have any effect
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma have to do a detailed dig in re the linux tty thing. but this could take a while, and no guarantee of finding culprit in the 100s of MB of open sores liquishit. so you will need the buffer+timeout thing, i suspect.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: ok, finally managed to get a stuck dd
diana_coman: hence my diana_coman> dd seems to be more resilient but I suspect it's mainly because it's not that sort of little&frequent
asciilifeform: diana_coman: what was the exact process for dd hang ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i've built eucrypt and replicated your hang
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Machine is ready, both cables swapped, but only one FUCKGOAT plugged in.
BingoBoingo: Will have it ready <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, do you know whether smg main server has the black snake cables or what? << It does.
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, do you need me to shut down the box? << I will if you want me to pull it to swap cables.
asciilifeform: goodnight diana_coman
a111: Logged on 2018-07-31 15:49 diana_coman: asciilifeform, yes, get eucrypt and run the tests for smg_rsa, something like ./tests 11 11 (i.e. 11 times test no 11)
asciilifeform: diana_coman: is http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-31#1838330 an exact description of the test ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: ftr i am still on the lookout for anything like a practicable replacement for pl2303
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'm gonna try and replicate here in the torture room, with your proggy -- i have both cable types here
a111: Logged on 2018-07-31 19:57 diana_coman: asciilifeform, that tip says problems handling more than 2 but I have...2?
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, how long would it take to get there and unplug one of the FG to have a test with only one? << I could go there and be back witing an hour
asciilifeform: diana_coman: does your boot-time sh init both dongles currently ?
a111: Logged on 2018-07-12 13:49 diana_coman: asciilifeform, BingoBoingo access to box & config confirmed; FG on ttysUSB0 had a wobble at first and I don't understand why: I ran the stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 raw -echo -echoe -echok and then tried dd iflag=fullblock if=/dev/ttyUSB0 | hexdump -C but nothing came up; then I ran the stty on usb1 as well and tried again and it...worked; any idea wtf was that at first?
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> basically if I don't manage to reproduce it on any other machine, it would seem it's potentially to do with that specific system << Let me know if you want a pair of hands.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman http://trilema.com/2010/o-institutie-culturala/#comment-21292 << found!
phf: diana_coman: we will take credit for it (also we'll take retroactive credit for the frequent mysterious reboots of asciilifeform's machines)
mircea_popescu: diana_coman do you recall that lulz btw ? "nu-i ardelean, n-are rabdare adevarata, ii emulata-n soft"
a111: Logged on 2018-06-20 20:33 ben_vulpes: diana_coman: why does it need to be wholly separate machine? i think something might have flown over my head
asciilifeform: diana_coman: when these are stuck, how do you kill'em ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: comment out the init, and fire a shot.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: can almost certainly rule out iron problem then
