mircea_popescu: polished all the fucking knobs and hanged scented car trees and chinatown windchimes from various nubbins is all.
mircea_popescu: three years later, they have done NOTHING. nothing at all.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-05-2015#1122508 << yes. because for all the pretense of "development" and "progress" and "new versions" and of course "blockchain technologees" of the #bitcoin-dev muppet orphanage, THEY.HAVE.NOT.ACTUALLY.DONE.ANYTHING. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it's like a std, basically, they get it around puberty through apparent spontaneous generation.
mircea_popescu: "o no, that's what i had really meant to do!11" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: every fucktarded girl i ever met growing up, the sort that never got anywhere either in the bed or in the forum, their entire lives, and ended up settling down with an alcoholic bum, each and every one had, without exception, the same answer to any instance where they had fucked up :
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 14:19:10; asciilifeform: the imbeciles are phucked and their only recourse, as is now traditional, is to fud and lawyering
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-05-2015#1122491<< they are not fucked. we were always at war with eurasia. this is what they meant to do! ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 14:10:21; asciilifeform: takes some effort to read this correctly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently they're at 3s. longsoon that is. ah, best laid out plans...
mircea_popescu: cheap and effectual testing of critical stuff like this.
mircea_popescu: throw an exception if they disagree
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what does "in lockstep" mean when you talk about running bitcoind and any potential replacements "in lockstep"?
ben_vulpes: | | | | ->08.68% (67,108,864B) 0x470070: ThreadGetMyExternalIP(void*) (net.cpp:379) << that this is a thing cracks me up ☟︎
pete_dushenski: unkosher ostriches with their heads in the sand, these guys.
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 01:33:41; thestringpuller: http://gavinandresen.ninja/does-more-transactions-necessarily-mean-more-centralized << pete_dushenski gaving must have not seen your comments on your blog from yester-month
ben_vulpes: davout: there are buildroot scripts for the cross-compile on the mailing list
pete_dushenski: williamdunne: kakobrekla any guess why assbot isn't picking up new post titles off of scoopbot_revived ??
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 05:09:26; BingoBoingo: The fucking welterweight champion is known more for "defense" than leaving welts?
davout: ok, i'm off for now, i'll get on cross-compiling bitcoind and getting it running on the pogo later
danielpbarron: the abiltity to audit the thing is one of the most important features
danielpbarron: maybe also the former ☟︎
danielpbarron: defo the latter
davout: i guess it really depends on whether we want to ship pre-configured units, or make an easy procedure available
danielpbarron: but you should be able to ssh into a new unit, download the image and flash it
danielpbarron: although that might also be handy for making lots in one pass
davout: ah, so ultimately the procedure would be "acquire pogo, burn image on USB stick, insert SATA drive, insert flashed USB stick, power unit on" right?
danielpbarron: i'm not sure if it can boot from sata out of the box; it's uBoot should be able to do it, but i don't know if it would need to be reconfigured
danielpbarron: and you can boot from usb, it just has to be the USB2 port on the top of the unit
davout: like out of the box?
danielpbarron: it'll boot from the eeprom
danielpbarron: pre-configured to look for a sata drive to format and mount as the datadir for bitcoind
danielpbarron: i would guess something like flashing the memory with a ramdisk image that has all the kernel userland and bitcoind already in there
davout: and since you mention the final product, what would the target procedure look like to configure a new pogo?
danielpbarron: i don't have good documentation for that, no
danielpbarron: but that was a some time ago
danielpbarron: i was able to compile bitcoind for a pogo from my gentoo laptop using crossdev
davout: ok, where would i find directions to compile it properly for the pogo?
danielpbarron: it'll take forever on the pogo i think
davout: so now do i compile bitcoind right there? or should i somehow compile it on my local machine? ☟︎
danielpbarron: yeah, it's as insecure as could be, because telnet shouldn't be enabled on the final product anyway
danielpbarron: oh i think there is no password actuallly
danielpbarron: you should be able to telnet in as root, password is probably also root or something
davout: so now i guess i just need to build the bitcoind release and put it on the pogo
davout: ok that's really cool
davout: aha, i'm the new pogo
danielpbarron: he decided that since the thing has no RNG, ssh is a waste
davout: ah i see, i tried SSH'ing into it to no avail
danielpbarron: if you used ascii's thing, then it should have telnet built in
davout: the pogo seems to have a half green half red light
danielpbarron: netcat stops there, you shouldn't see anything else
davout: yes, i got the u-boot working, see the output i get in netcat ^
danielpbarron: you used the qnology guide to get the uBoot thing working?
davout: danielpbarron: so looks like i managed to get the kernel loaded and starting
danielpbarron: i have a more condensed guide on the b-a wiki
davout: aah, reading the instructions once again, it starts to make sense
davout: danielpbarron: but i'm slightly confused at this whole thing, say i manage to flash the new uboot on the pogo, and set the correct variables with the new fw_printenv command that comes with the improved u-boot, and that with the correct settings the pogo will look for a kernel on the network at boot time, what's netcat for?
davout: i assume i can use the steps relevant to u-boot from there to get the correct version on the pogo and resume your instructions when that's done
mod6: oh cool, i guess my pogo will be delivered tomorrow
assbot: Qui's techNOLOGY Blog: Hacking the Pogoplug v4 (Series 4 and Mobile) with Linux (Debian or Arch) ... ( http://bit.ly/1Alx70K )
davout: so i found this -> http://blog.qnology.com/2014/07/hacking-pogoplug-v4-series-4-and-mobile.html
danielpbarron: but it does not come with the tool needed to do this, which is fw_printenv
mod6: (and yeah, that's on a deb6 - x86_64 env)
mod6: I can't really check from here, but later tonight will give some updates as to how my v0.5.3.1+OrphanageBurner build is running. last I saw, it was using quite a bit of available ram. was >200`000 blocks, and still running, but that was lastnight. ☟︎
danielpbarron: it comes with its own uBoot, which can be configured to load a kernel over the network
davout: perplexed at the u-boot step, how do i actually get to asciilifeform's "(you -did- configure the u-boot to tftp by default, aha?)" ?
davout: from what i understand i need to replace u-boot on the pogo so that it'll load this new kernel over the network by using tftp
mod6: <+asciilifeform> [BTC-dev] Full Orphanage Thermonuke Massif Output (Theoretically, covers entire address space of process) << great work, asciilifeform. thanks for putting that together :]
davout: i've built the new kernel according to asciilifeform's instructions, including the v2 patches
davout: danielpbarron: looking at your pogo docs, not sure how to perform step 4.1 u-boot compilation

assbot: A renegade sculptor has mounted a bust of Edward Snowden in a Brooklyn park | The Verge ... ( http://bit.ly/1QmDniB )
lobbes: or does anyone see same << heh, I see the same
davout: so the original behaviour was to actually reverse-sync
asciilifeform: is this their ip-based diddling
asciilifeform: as is the 5th
davout: not sure i get "the thing walks the orphanage and finds the start of the chain"
asciilifeform: the current item was the simplest/most-kalashnikov
asciilifeform: if you can think of an algo which makes more sense than this, please write in
asciilifeform: so our antecedent is always the most recent bastard.
asciilifeform: 2) after this, when bastard block comes in, the thing walks the orphanage and finds the start of the chain, and asks for its antecedents.
davout: (it doesn't reverse-sync in the sense that it doesn't keep a partial tree it tries to reconnect to the currency known best tree)
asciilifeform: what happens in the 'virginal' 0.5.3 is,
davout: ah ok, so it doesn't reverse-sync per se, but instead tries to get better matches
asciilifeform: davout: when gets a bastard block, it 1) drops 2) requests, from current sync node, blocks prior to it
davout: or does it simply drop any block it receives and that doesn't chain on top of the current best?
davout: asciilifeform: am i correct in my understanding of the thermonuke patch that it will try to reverse-sync starting from any arbitrary block it receives?
asciilifeform: the imbeciles are phucked and their only recourse, as is now traditional, is to fud and lawyering ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'and the reason i believe they fought me so hard, and is a detail thats kind of hard to get through to reporters, is that the cylinders used an OTP memory, the issues cannot be fixed without a somewhat expensive exchange' -- from the locks article
asciilifeform: takes some effort to read this correctly. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ^ on first sight, very perverse findings which appear to contradict those of ordinary 'valgrind'
