ascii_field: so from what i can see, 1)
they cut every possible corner 2) rolled in x86 because unspoken 'winblows 4ever'
ascii_field: and implication from brochure is
that
there is no native linux port, but uses x86
translatron
ascii_field: but i see a number of oddities right off
the bat
mircea_popescu: give it a coupla years,
they won't even be able
to fix anything anymore because of deployment
mircea_popescu: there is some residual interest in exploring
this
thing, because it will definitely become
the standard in ru bureaucracy, and knowing its holes will allow us
to complete our collection of michelle obama cockinmouth.jpg with all
the random hos putin manhandles.
ascii_field: probably answer is 'not made in cn,
therefore add a zero
to cost'
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i can bitch at someone
there
to buy it, i imagine. prolly so can you
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: buy elbrus ... << ru corps only is
the advertised offer
ascii_field: ty mircea_popescu. and pete_dushenski has it -
those were lunch money, yes
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 17:18:59; ascii_field:
to
the end
that
thread re: whether 'we' will buy something is really a
thread about whether mircea_popescu might buy something, and ought
to be labeled correctly
mircea_popescu: you know i *am* willing
to buy one, host it in
the ukr lands closeby, and so on.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field wait, so you're not gonna write an inquiry
to
the elbrus folks ?
mircea_popescu: i
thought you meant
the site. gotta love
those girls, great sports.
mircea_popescu: im not going
to even go into
the whole pki nonsense,
too lazy atm.
mircea_popescu: yes,
they used
to be more expensive, and have been alligning
to
the mpex price over
the years. nevertheless...
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 16:58:26; williamdunne: MPEx did pioneer many
things in Bitcoin derivatives and
they deserve credit for
that. However, I find it unlikely
that an exchange with such a high up-front fee just
to participate will ever find mainstream acceptance.
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 16:39:56; bitcoinquestions: Came
to post
this link, but you beat me
to it. OP
take
the
time
to read
this. Derp. << Do you feel
the comment is pointless because OP is likely a bot etc.? Or do you feel
the article is irrelevant
to
the matter at hand?
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 16:26:55; williamdunne: We were doing it and will continue
to do it when we relaunch
mircea_popescu: how much has changed, how
the mighty have fallen, etc.
mircea_popescu: ah, where are
the rambunctious years of
the serbian "pace" mission.
ascii_field: there is a (plausible) legend
that
the strike on
the cn embassy was deliberate - as it was where
the carcass was hidden
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i'm only very marginally interested in
this sort of wankery
tbh.
ascii_field floored
that mircea_popescu had not heard of
the mega-airplane
jurov: it isn't so inconceivable
to point an antenna
to sky and scan for reflected 2.4ghz sources
mircea_popescu: "In addition,
the Serbs had also intercepted and deciphered some NATO communications" AAAAhahahahaha
mircea_popescu: i didn't know
they had rockets fast enough even. wtf is
this.
jurov: yea,
there's a piece exhibited in belgrade
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: wut, it connects
to wireless << it casts a shadow in microwave spectrum
jurov: well, serbians did use passive radar
to shoot one down. and
then 2.4ghz sources were far not so plentiful
ascii_field: let
the golang folks be proud of
their flagship, l0l
mats: fun fact: since OLPC machines use IEEE1275,
they all have a Forth implementation baked into
the firmware.
mircea_popescu: "those guys are
the
top just because
they're priviledged, we can be just as good as
them, even better. because we want
to,
that's why!"
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 16:06:41;
thestringpuller: i like how mpex is completely ignored in
the GPG discussion. "Ignore
the guys with
the nukes and
they'll just go away."
ascii_field: mats: not only a
thing, but effectively defeats famous 'stealth airplane'
mircea_popescu: anyway, if
there are any javascript experts in
the room, you,
trinque, whoever : currently it pisses me off because if you click on page it scrolls you
to
top. any idea how
to fix it so it ignores clicks ? just, never scroll as a result of a click.
mats: fun fact: passive radar using 802.11 points and such is a
thing.
davout: i kindof expected a little pop-up like on
the btc-dev mailing list
davout: open an article randomly, select random bit of
the article, nothing happens
ascii_field: essentially a byword for 'let's find a way
to enforce ban on general-purpose computer'
davout: i must be misunderstanding something here, i
tried in safari, ff, and chrome
davout: maybe i need
to flush cache
mircea_popescu: davout yup. requires js, but it's pretty solid.
try itr.
mats: jurov: usual approach is
through hashing regions of memory for comparison
davout: is it supposed
to work on
trilema? as in, i select arbitrary
text and i'l given a URL reference?
mircea_popescu: mats yep, part oif why
the entire "attestation" bs is so lulzy.
trinque: yeah
that selection script is sweet
mircea_popescu: <jurov>
there's
this big hairy crystalspace dependency
that apparently calls ssh from configure << ahaha wut!
mats: (as long as you fill unused flash with high entropy NOPs
that eventually jump
to a fault handler, and do attestation via reset
to a minimal bootloader
that can use all memory)
mats: fun fact: you can use scrypt
to attempt remote code integrity attestation on microprocessors.
davout: williamdunne: you scared me with
that SSL shit
mod6: yeah, I don't remember having
that problem before with CS... but maybe i'd forgotten?!
jurov: there's
this big hairy crystalspace dependency
that apparently calls ssh from configure
jurov is curious for how many people will eulora exist
then
williamdunne: Nothing
that hard, but often its ignored by developers
ascii_field: (the only reason we don't build bitcoind on pogo is
the ram-poverty)
trinque: nothing
that hard about cross compiling
to arm
williamdunne: Mmm
the second
thing a bit. Prebuilt certainly makes mundane
tasks
that should be easy, easy
ascii_field: or do you consider any box where you can't suck down prebuilt packages from
the net,
to be 'a bitch
to run'
ascii_field: williamdunne: rpi in particular was a miserably underpowered (nic shared usb line with drives)
thing
williamdunne: Admittedly it was a while ago, but I can remember getting most
things
to run on an RPI-like was an absolute bitch
ascii_field: (and
there is claimed x86 dynamic
translation, a la apple ppc. so it may yet
turn out
that most 'elbrus' will end up running winblowsxp...)
williamdunne: 5) With far less support in
terms of software you may need
to run
ascii_field: from standpoint of boobytraps, an example of 'worth writing home about' would be a machine 1) with pedantically open spec,
to
transistor level 2) with provisions for
tandemming with implementations of same by other, foreign makers
☟︎ pete_dushenski is reminded of recent commenter who was all "crowdfund your bitcoin nodes if
they're
too expensive"
ascii_field: at any rate,
the reason
to hold off creaming your pants on
this occasion, is
that 1) it's yet another von neumann
turd 2) enjoy
trading usg boobytraps for ru variant
