diana_coman: as I ended up doing a long log-crawl on v-matters because it's still bugging me, I found several discussions on spaces vs tabs but overall I can't tell what the current conclusion is on this: does anyone know?
mp_en_viaje: i know some rural dumb cunts very much like the us. nobody outspends them on kerngknekjvsdfks.
mp_en_viaje: "oh, we were worried china outspends us on $random-nonsense-we-made-up-specifically-so-as-to-have-it-all-to-ourselves" "why were you worried about that ?" "so we have somtething to talk about" "ah, okay"
BingoBoingo: lol, they'll talk about anything but the missile gap that matters
mp_en_viaje: i thought for a moment they did that artificial nacre thing

BingoBoingo: drawing attention is typical of a Thursday night at this hour. Meanwhile a number of the smaller forgettable plaza have above average, but still unimpresive crowds.
BingoBoingo: Report on the local kids: small but slowly growing crowd where crowds normally grow on the Rambla. One 'Republicana' Police tank parked near the Montevideo sign. At least one helicopter flying low and angrily sweeping its spotlight all over with no apparent purpose other than to "be seen". Several pairs of motorcycle cops riding along the side streets, also likely with the "be seen" mission. The amount of kids present in the spot
BingoBoingo: Heavy on the salt.
BingoBoingo: As in all of the platters from the few spinnign rust drives in the rack. After having been sanded they are soaking in a Tomato+ColaBlack sauce on the camp stove.
BingoBoingo: Breaking down the Pizarro disks we discovered... Some platters don't shatter
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Going well. Prepping drives for hammer time right now.

spyked: indeed, there's that
BingoBoingo just assuming hardware is cheaper than directed hands on a task
spyked will admit he doesn't even know how reverse engineering costs can be estimated, most likely due to lack of experience. will ask around, maybe someone in the field can give an idea
BingoBoingo: spyked: My suspicion is that the cost of acquiring a TMSRbootable board is almost aways going to beat supporting new hardware, unless the new hardware is *very* interesting.
spyked: anyway, I'ma sit on this thread for a while, will focus on getting uefi disentangled for now
spyked: urds is gruesome (read: both very risky and time-consuming) enough that doing it once will shift the business towards tmsr hardware
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-05 06:33:41 spyked: also otoh, I'm not entirely sure custom biosen/chips are the way to go, since they require a fair amount of reverse engineering, which is usually a massive time sink. it'd certainly be an interesting research project, but it's not something I'd make the delivery of tmsr-os depend on.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-06 13:04:11 dorion_road: a V-ified cooreboot will provide more leverage in increasing hardware coverage. if a patron wants to sponsor the owner (or anyone else from his WoT) to expand the hardware coverage, having it V-ified forms a good foundation as I see it.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-06#1954435 <-- I'm not convinced it will, tbh. atm buying an existing corebootable board is a much cheaper alternative (for gpg at least) than supporting a new one, on account of http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-05#1954371 ; might work on the long term when the supplies for e.g. x60 will be exhausted, but even then, trying to make sense of closed t

ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-04 23:02:02 mircea_popescu: it's this sorta thing that gets you bloody.
lobbes: My root issue is really that I haven't been optimizing for the best case in general. Completely separate from that is the issue of my general computer illiteracy. Both of these I can work to cure via diving into ebuilds, so I'll hold steady on this course I reckon
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-06 13:16:27 dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-04#1954338 << on the one hand, there is other work to be done aside from writting code, but on the other hand, portage/emerge/ebuild system is python.
lobbes: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-06#1954439 << this is true. I've given it some reflection, and I'm going to go ahead and commit to diving into the ebuilds.

dorion_road: while I understand you wanted to the logging project to go smoother, but you were also picking up a new langauge for the job.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-04 22:49:59 lobbes: and even then, it has always been 'soft computering' like reporting, sql queries, excel jockying, etc. The only programming language I really know is python (and that I've only ever used here in tmsr)
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-04 22:32:39 lobbes: though tbh, this whole experience makes me think that maybe computers just ain't my thing. Perhaps I ought to think about BingoBoingo's writing for Qntra course a little more instead of this TMSR OS project
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-04#1954338 << on the one hand, there is other work to be done aside from writting code, but on the other hand, portage/emerge/ebuild system is python.
dorion_road: to summarize then, having coreboot owned, even with minimal hardware coverage to start, provides a long term incentive to have this key piece well covered.
dorion_road: With that being said, the operator ought not ~have~ to use coreboot to run tmsr.os since so much extant hardware has yet to be liberated from vendor control of the bios.
dorion_road: a V-ified cooreboot will provide more leverage in increasing hardware coverage. if a patron wants to sponsor the owner (or anyone else from his WoT) to expand the hardware coverage, having it V-ified forms a good foundation as I see it.
dorion_road: In the immediate term, Corebootable machines are part of the consulting package jfw and I are offering clients.
dorion_road: If a full process insurance business can be derived from tmsr.os in the longer term, I'd expect the bios to be included (assuming bios as it's now referred is part of the end process).
dorion_road: I'm sure many people here are doing that as well, these logs are where I first learned about it, afterall.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-06 05:20:08 spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-05#1954385 <-- so the idea here is that whoever wants to tmsrize their box can also get help replacing their heathen bios/firmware with a V-ified coreboot? this is the business proposition that I'm seeing atm.
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-06#1954419 << there are a couple layers to my thinking. the idea started from the basis that I'm compiling and installing the bios on whatever hardware I'm using using for a trb node, tmsr-pgp, etc.
dorion_road: In my brush up of, now wtf again is SMM ? this morning, I referred to an old article by robert. r. collins on the topic. He's new to me, but CV looks impressive, anyone here come across him ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-06 05:17:15 spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-05#1954378 <-- it was part of a study on (or rather using) qemu, to figure out how whatever software runs in SMM interacts with the OS at boot/run-time. unfortunately it got piled under a bunch of other work and I never got it published.
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-06#1954417 << the SMM interaction with OS is an important branch of study/understanding to my eye. publishing what you have may become a priority down the line, so it's good to know you have that experience.

ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-05 12:01:38 dorion_road: With that being said, BIOS auditability and integrity is a key piece of the pie and someone owning it and adding configs for the set of supported boards would be a win to my eye.

BingoBoingo finally applying to places in Buquebus range (also Missouri en Argentina del Norte). Trying not to hold "No querés re-activar tu proyecto de venta de servicios web? Nosotros para ayudarte podemos ofrecerte el servicio sin costo inicialmente..." against them.
diana_coman: well, they have actually developed a partnership that works, certainly.
BingoBoingo: jfw has indeed. Publishing quite the treasure trove. The jfw/dorion pairing seems to be a great benefit to the both of them.
BingoBoingo: We appear to be first outside of the mailing list on this, so taking a bit of time to try spreading
mircea_popescu: to the attack, but this was incorrect, at least regarding IPv4" << the moneyshot there.
mircea_popescu: and every other time
BingoBoingo: The whole "we're going to Microsoft better than Microsoft crowd seems to have been caught prone in the field this time.
deedbot: 2018/11/30 04:54:33 <zx2c4> My "nice post" remark wasnt sarcastic, if thats what youre responding to
mircea_popescu: this is ~all~ obviously crypto-matter (which'd explain why the forefuckwits managed it so poorly -- crypto is like the intellectual antithesis of moronman)
mircea_popescu: i must know, at the end of its run a) that it optimally used the bytespace by wringing out periodicity in the input ; b) that only the designated keys can ever get the input back out and c) that a specific set of occurences will not harm the contents. such as "two consecutive lost bytes once ; AND six independent lost bytes". or w/e it is. set percentually or w/e.
mircea_popescu: it's high fucking time for a ~comprehensive~ archival-and-encryption util that handles compression, encryption ~and error redundancy~!!!! correctly.
mircea_popescu: the WHOLE FUCKING POINT of "armored" mode is to armor it, you're not wasting those 40% extra bytes just for the sake of wasting them wtf.
mircea_popescu: so koch-gpg is, out of the box, worse than useless for archival : tar / zip / etc as they exist on unix-likes are fucked in the head enough such that if there's a byte error, either the remainder of the archive or the bytes past that one in the list are lost ; but this can be mitigated at least by having multiple copies. gpg however, multiple copies are equally useless, if none make it intact the contents is lost, because
mircea_popescu: in other "lulz", in the sense that koch & co are so fucking evil it boggles the mind : gpg has an ascii armored mode, which however contains no error recovery.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-03-04 16:14:16 mircea_popescu: empire does not in any factual sense exist. man who works 70% of the time for idiots is === the remaining 30% of that man.
dorion_road: life's too short to salt mine for idiots any longer than you have to.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-05-17 19:17:54 trinque: republic is scant of profit centers
dorion_road: I haven't developed it very far past what's in those articles and what we've done to develop JWRD, but seems like there is a medium to long term profit center to establish.
dorion_road: It occurred to me this morning, this tmsr-os project could be utilized medium to long term in both lifetime support consultancy and the hottest business idea in btc (code review and code insurance) ventures.
dorion_road: spyked et. al, is ^ that a sensible approach to you ?
dorion_road: With that being said, BIOS auditability and integrity is a key piece of the pie and someone owning it and adding configs for the set of supported boards would be a win to my eye.
dorion_road: While there must be a bootloader to run tmsr-os, Coreboot need not be utilized on a system, even if that system is already supported by Coreboot.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-05 06:33:41 spyked: also otoh, I'm not entirely sure custom biosen/chips are the way to go, since they require a fair amount of reverse engineering, which is usually a massive time sink. it'd certainly be an interesting research project, but it's not something I'd make the delivery of tmsr-os depend on.
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-05#1954371 << I agree reversing chips is not a dependency of tmsr-os. My thought process there is it's an optional package.
dorion_road: how about you outline your first steps there in the plan you'll be publishing saturday ?

ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-03 18:05:46 dorion_road: as it turns out, it seems to my eye that it'd suit you well, given, e.g., the low level firmware work you're doing. do you want it ?

mircea_popescu: well how the hell do i know what you can change
lobbes: hm is this something I can change, though? Or am I doomed here
mircea_popescu: i dunno this has anything to do with computers per se, or in other words even if you decide you want to write, or make pottery, or run an isp or whatever the fuck else, you'll just meet the same bugaboos in different skirts.
