asciilifeform: decimation: you can see the trimpots
decimation: "The value of the dummy-load resistors is choosen carefully, so that they the circuit draws the same current as the solenoids. As a result, the PSU will not only supply a constant voltage, but will also consume a constant current" < this seems dubious on production units
asciilifeform: you actually need this to retrofit constant-power
asciilifeform: i see now that it was not a pass-through
asciilifeform: so 'tempest' is mistake in terminology here
decimation: surely someone in the 'unreliable nation' would have had suspicions
asciilifeform: http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialka/psu/tempest.htm#circuit << tries to prevent differential power analysis ☟︎
asciilifeform: instead of the old-fashioned power supply.
asciilifeform: to force dumb orcs to use it
asciilifeform: 'Although it may seem unnecessary, the data socket (marked МАШИНА II) must be connected, as otherwise the machine will not work. This is done to ensure the use of the TEMPEST feature (see below). ' << seems to imply that it was a straight pass-through
decimation: simply swap the right parts...
asciilifeform: i can see this being given to unreliable warsaw pact nations to -amplify- their tempest emanations
asciilifeform: in the -power supply-
asciilifeform: and why, precisely, does it need the digital output ?
asciilifeform: crackable in about thirty seconds on 'commodore 64'
asciilifeform: funny how they gave a damn re: tempest on a fucking ROTOR CRYPTO MACHINE
decimation: ah yeah that's more useful
asciilifeform: check out the 'tempest' psu.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu must have been thinking of this machine the other day.
asciilifeform: 'Warning: never connect this 3-pin male plug (24V DC) to the 3-pin female plug (230V AC) of the mains cable. Due to bad design, it fits perfectly, but supplies the mains voltage to the 24V input of the cipher machine, causing permanent damage to the cipher machine. Be warned!' << l0l
BingoBoingo: If this is what axe time is like /me wonders about sword time survivability
decimation: the trouble is getting enough 'holes' on a reasonable size paper
decimation: yeah I think I recall. like the 'Fialka' machine http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialka/card.htm
decimation: and I suggest that key material is loaded with: paper card
decimation: well, the point is that a fairly rigorous device could be made
BingoBoingo unsure how to handle axe time behind enemy lines
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu:fork the chain or maintain the historical copy. << third option: make new apparatus, prove idempotence.
asciilifeform: decimation: afaik there were never dedicated ada silicon
decimation: asciilifeform: it strikes me that a handy product would be a little ada microcontroller with an implementation of rsa
BingoBoingo: This is BingoBoingo and welcome to day one of Axe time
nubbins`: with the portatronic patch.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: this was after my (today's) patch ?
decimation: nubbins`: no that's a different issue, not critical
asciilifeform: when you scratch the surface, you always find some imbecile who develops on winblows, and then asks 'whatchalookingat' ☟︎
nubbins`: "glibc uses libnss to support a number of different providers for address resolution services. Unfortunately, you cannot statically link libnss, as exactly what providers it loads depends on the local system's configuration."
decimation: asciilifeform: one wonders what the openssl authors use as a 'baseline os'
asciilifeform: see log as to why.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: there we go
mircea_popescu: "i am arthur son of uther pendragon, defeater of the molds, killer of the bilge water!"
mircea_popescu: what are you going to kill lol, bilge water ?
decimation: the 'headless beast' is hard to kill but easy to misguide
mircea_popescu: once those went away... well...
mircea_popescu: the sheer fact of the b-a of the time made it. the usg follows in all dances. never yet lead, never will lead.
decimation: but the sheer fact of usg's gold's possession 'made' it the reserve currency
mircea_popescu: who, pray tell me, eats the shit it eats that it just shat ?
decimation: I suppose the same holds roughly true with gold
mircea_popescu: who wants to fuck with an ipad when there's a perfectly usable desktop ?
mircea_popescu: i don't think you appreciate how stupid people are.
decimation: who is gonna want to be paid in dollars while the fed is hoarding bitcoin
mircea_popescu: you act from this strange notion of perfect knowledge.
decimation: mircea_popescu: perhaps, but to fully realize it usg would have to publicly destroy the dollar bezzle
mircea_popescu: decimation this is not going away. the usg's hunger for btc far exceeds its hunger for anything else COMBINED.
mircea_popescu: ". The deal, according to a "solicitation" document, would be worth $2.1 million — to the U.S. taxpayer, at least." << how to get 20k ipads for 100 bucks each ?
BingoBoingo imagines in this instance lizards sacrificing CoinBase cred in swap to offer cred to Dave
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo we're talking more "coming years" than "situation atm" here.
BingoBoingo knows of no circumstantial evidence that suggest USG proxy more than exists for BuzzDave.
asciilifeform: this has more immediate implications than commandeering mere jet factory.
mircea_popescu: airjets can be made out of imported parts. and are. and they suck. and it doesn't matter.
mircea_popescu: well... nothing is as strictly relevant to national security as a mining farm, factually speaking.
asciilifeform: if you built a miner, 'you didn't build that'
asciilifeform: list of who doesn't even consider it dekulakization - merely owner coming 'back' to take what is 'his', that he merely let you store in safekeeping for a spell.
BingoBoingo: I dunno if anyone here other than hanbot will be familiar with BuzzDave's MO, building ASIC mining farm at any budget, whether feeds scamzors or not in the process irrelevant
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's probably useful in building the lists of who can be dekulakized willingly.
asciilifeform: anyone who doesn't send them off to pound sand up arse - has bowed to usg
mircea_popescu: ... but you don't wanna lie... not to the yo-oung...
asciilifeform: Coinbase Seeks 'Invasive' Details on US Bitcoin Mining Operations << this is, to use the 'manosphere' term of art, a 'shit test'
mircea_popescu: i guess i contributed the mix. dj mp.
mircea_popescu: hm... check that out, actually it isn't. he has a "coming through a hole in the air", thing. and there's an excellent "the night comes on. it's very clam. i'd like to imagine my father was wrong..." very powerful verse somewhere else.
nubbins`: yeah, just checking that now
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 02:24:41; asciilifeform: this is 'the hole through which the night walks in', to borrow a mircea_popescuism
asciilifeform: nubbins`: but applying the portatronic patch turns my uint32_t error into an int64_t error << apply the -other- patch. the one from 2hrs ago.
BingoBoingo actually affected by MP's deed of the day. lacks assets for USG to steal
decimation: ^ french housewives enforced the various 'maximums'
mircea_popescu: usg doing a splendid job of getting the muppets do the "case da joint" work for free.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo da force gotta know what to steal, right ?
mircea_popescu: fork the chain or maintain the historical copy.
mircea_popescu: since bitcoin pulled the code AS IT WAS and built a chain on it, the optionsare :
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-04-2015#1083563 << you don't understand : we already ARE stuck with this. want it or not.
nubbins`: tbh gentoo is the odd one out here, which is curious
BingoBoingo: Also here apparently is what BuzzDave is up to atm, would rewrite but drinking my drink before crisis budget hits tommorrow. http://www.coindesk.com/coinbase-seeks-details-us-bitcoin-mining/
nubbins`: i'm gonna give that a shit
nubbins`: but really though, the closest stable gcc version to mod6's 4.4.5 that portage still carries is 4.4.7
BingoBoingo waits for Vatican to invade Damascus
assbot: It turns out the photo of 4-year-old Syrian girl surrendering to a camera is real, not faked. http://t.co/7Vw3MoGWGN http://t.co/RsiQhJWDPS
BingoBoingo: Twitter was very sad today https://twitter.com/KenRoth/status/583117607777243136
nubbins`: bitcoinrpc.cpp:1761:30: error: expected primary-expression before ‘(’ token
nubbins`: but there's another error right before that, almost missed it.
nubbins`: asciilifeform haven't peeked at your latest mail yet, but applying the portatronic patch turns my uint32_t error into an int64_t error
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "I can verify that downgrading to Perl 5.16 works." uh ?!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I know openbsd has a plan for governance post-Theo. The exact plans are opaque to me. It would be abberant for Beck to naturally outlive Theo, but... known unknown
mircea_popescu: (commensal = eating at same table)
[]bot: Bet placed: 1 BTC for No on "Bitcoin above MtGox $266 high 2 years on" http://bitbet.us/bet/1126/ Odds: 36(Y):64(N) by coin, 63(Y):37(N) by weight. Total bet: 9.38145505 BTC. Current weight: 16,797.
mircea_popescu: decimation im very much left wondering by asciilifeform's ideas about china. i dunno that it's in any sense comensal with the us.
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 02:00:00; BingoBoingo: OpenBSD has been nice to me, but weird compared to linux and as a point that displeases MP poor fundraiser Bob Beck is in their WoT
decimation: mircea_popescu: note that china knows how this game works; is taking 'possession' of the south china sea
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 01:26:21; scoopbot: New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/the-definitive-sovereign/
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-04-2015#1083462 << there you go mr budget :D
BingoBoingo: decimation: I have never seen pills colored #FF000 nor #0000FF even when observing pharmacy school slide decks for two years
decimation: BingoBoingo: "Among the purposes of 'Snowden' - who never 'stole' any documents - is to increase the sense of terrorism and blackmail among governments; " < to believe this is to travel through the looking-glass
asciilifeform: <ben_vulpes> salesforce either << usg is not the post office. usg is precisely the folks who perpetrate things such as 'salesforce.'
