ascii_field: 'A female juror had accused her male colleague of
trying
to poison her food, and on
Tuesday Marino mentioned
that
the conflict may have involved an avocado sandwich.'
danielpbarron: all you need is
to install some sort of
TFTP server on your workstation, and use
the built in flashing
tools of pogo
to set some parameters
to connect
to your workstation when it boots
danielpbarron: davout, only necessary if your doing
the serial connection soldering
thing
danielpbarron: davout, yeah
that's why i'm rewriting; it's about
the workstation connecting
to pogo
davout: danielpbarron: in your docs, 2.2.2 refer
to building a kernel for
the workstation
talking
to
the pogo, not building a kernel for
the pogo itself, or am i heavily confused?
mircea_popescu: so basically... current blocks are just big enough
to interdict 5400 rpm
ascii_field: ^
the down side of how 'unobtrusive' disk cache is implemented on linux is
that if ram is 'redlined'
to
the hilt,
there is - approximately - no disk caching at all.
danielpbarron: the 5400 rpm one with an up-to-date data dir copied in goes just fast enough
to stay about 200 blocks behind
the rest of
the network at all
times; perhaps slowly losing ground
danielpbarron: pete_dushenski, my SSD one is still going and I have no reason
to suspect it won't eventually sync
danielpbarron: comes as no surprise
to me;
that's exactly
the bottle neck i ran into when first getting into running a node
mircea_popescu: ascii_field actually... a disk cache wouldn't need
to be much larger
than what, 1mb ?
ascii_field: so pogo node lives or dies by
the actual speed of
the drive.
ascii_field: <danielpbarron> on a related note, my 5400 rpm pogo cannot sync << i spoke of
this briefly at c3.
the almost deadly-certain explanation is
that
there is no ram
to spare for
the customary disk cache
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 15:44:09; mats: another fun fact: Android doesn't seem
to implement
the only BLE key exchange mechanism not vulnerable
to eavesdropping.
ascii_field: davout: be aware
that we don't have a battlefield-ready 0.5.3.x as of yet.
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 15:34:28; mats:
this week, a guy broke his entire network stack by
trying
to install bluetooth drivers
davout: ascii_field: i have
the physical pogos you gave me, an ethernet cable, a power adapter, an internet connection, a few usb sticks, a working debian, and a 120gb sata disk
that fits in
the pogo. what's
the easiest way
to set it up as a bitcoin node
davout: ascii_field: so what's
the simplest way of doing it?
ascii_field: or even enable
tftp and use experimental os (e.g., mine) without reflashing at all
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 16:14:34; davout: hrm.. i was under
the impression it was possible
to somehow re-flash
the pogo from a simple USB stick without soldering anything
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 15:22:10; pete_dushenski: or using serial comm software other
than minicom ??
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 15:21:39; pete_dushenski: ^has anyone set one of
these up with freebsd using instructions other
than
those found here ?
http://rtfm.net/FreeBSD/ERL/ davout: yeah,
the curl bit if i understand correctly
danielpbarron: the
thing has a built in method for
turning on ssh without any extreme modifications, and from
there you can do all else
davout: so
the first
thing i should do is
try
to access it
through SSH, and work from
there, right?
davout: ok, sounds much better wrt industrializing
their setup
danielpbarron: as long as you don't botch
the re-flash, it should be possible
to do everything over ethernet
davout: haha, ok nice, guess i'm going
to put
the pogo back
together
then :-)
davout: hrm.. i was under
the impression it was possible
to somehow re-flash
the pogo from a simple USB stick without soldering anything
☟︎ davout: danielpbarron: so, do you have instructions on how
to set up
the pogo? does it necessarily imply soldering wizardry?
pete_dushenski: now
to see if i can re-install edgeos and start over :)
pete_dushenski: so unconfigured freebsd has no way of
talking
to minicom or anything else. it's just a file on a drive.
pete_dushenski: instead of establishing a serial connection with 'edgeos' first, i installed freebsd on
the usb drive first
pete_dushenski: okie dokie, pete
the n00b might've just isolated
the issue...
danielpbarron: if you do wind up using ubuntu,
the live cd is suitable ; you can even "install" screen
to
the
temporary system without actually writing
to your hard drive
danielpbarron: i'm surprised it says
the file doesn't exist when you say you saw it in /dev/
danielpbarron: once you have screen, it's as easy as
typing screen /dev/cu.usbserial 115200
danielpbarron: and
that
thing i just quoted makes it sound like screen is already on OS X;
try
typing screen --version in your
terminal
danielpbarron: for me, serial adapter is only accessible as root, although i
think i read somewhere
there are
things you can do
to make it work for other users
danielpbarron: "A collection of scripts
that work
together
to manage multiple invocations of GNU Screen
to overcome some of its limitations on Mac OS X."
ben_vulpes: ah yeah, but
that's annoying and complicated with a future, unlike your current "dead end"
pete_dushenski: setting up
the edgerouter with freebsd is proving
to be exactly
that!
mats: another fun fact: Android doesn't seem
to implement
the only BLE key exchange mechanism not vulnerable
to eavesdropping.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: as an alternative
to minicom for serial communication between desktop and edgerouter
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: forgive my late arrival
to
the
thread, but why are we
talking about screen on os x?
mats: so... given
that
the out of band key exchange is
the most difficult
to implement,
that's effectively a selective backdoor.
mats: Fun fact:
the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) spec provides
three key exchange mechanisms,
two of
the
three which do not provide any passive eavesdropping protection
danielpbarron: i'm reading
the
thing you pasted, and
the instructions are very similar
to adulterating a pogo
mats: i like
the idea of wireless headphones but
the bluetooth stack is horribly damaged
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron:
that's where i'm at, yes. serial comm software 'minicom' doesn't want
to work.
danielpbarron: you should better learn gentoo or something
though
pete_dushenski: more battery management, which is what 'modern lyf' seems
to reduce
to.
danielpbarron: not so bad; i used ubuntu
to do
that with pogo for my first attempted after soldering
the serial
thing onto it
pete_dushenski: mats: i don't see
the appeal of wireless headphones, mostly because
they're another
thing
to charge with another cable
mats: he had wireless headphones he wanted
to use at his desk
danielpbarron: pete_dushenski, oh you mean use ubuntu on
the machine from which you are connecting
to
the edgerouter/
mats needs
to read
the linux kernel
mats: i never figured out why, but
the kernel seemed convinced
there was a hardware switch
thrown someplace
pete_dushenski: wtf does anyone seriously need bluetooth for,
talking while driving ?
mats: this week, a guy broke his entire network stack by
trying
to install bluetooth drivers
☟︎ mats: i spend a non
trivial amount of
time debugging ubuntu desktops whenever people break it
pete_dushenski: i'm just
trying
to set up
this edgerouter with freebsd. nothing else.
mats: basically, at work my
team has a "you break it, we fix it" policy
pete_dushenski: ;;later
tell decimation did you set up your edgerouter in osx ? if so, did you also have issues with minicom ?
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: install instructions relating
to my accounting software, not pogo/bitcoin

pete_dushenski: sorta like
that louis ck bit about young black comics just being way, way fucking cooler
than he could ever be
pete_dushenski: despite
the practical limitations, it's still cool
to be ginormous.

these are biggest problems phoudation has
to fix first
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-05-2015#1117673 << it's funny
tho, all
the fraudulent pretense. "oh, a guy we never met is a founding director, because we wish
to have
the implication of legitimacy
that would offer. next we make george washington founding director, and edit his wikipedia
to say he founded
the us and our
turd"

mircea_popescu: i was under
the impression "vps hosting" is
the new "unlimited shared hosting"
thing of
the 2000s.
mircea_popescu: a)
they're all
the same size and b) every
tide washes more in.
williamdunne: Google a bunch of
them, put
their location and offerings on
the list
mircea_popescu: williamdunne how
the fuck are you going
to make a neutral list of "vps hosters" anyway.
williamdunne: RockHoster_: You'll be on
the list, you get no "special" benefit. I can't be biased
towards you I will be neutral
