asciilifeform: 'hose' perhaps was poor word. more of a 'root MUST come and fix because d00d decided to eat all of cpu' in box without quota-'fascism'
asciilifeform: in asciilifeform's experience with shared unix boxen in youth, the most typical problem is not 'seekritz' but 'hamfist hoses the box'
asciilifeform: 'if there ain't any entropy, there wont be any fucking output, take it or leave'
asciilifeform: as for example fg discards whitening
asciilifeform: in general engineering practice, one of the very few good heuristics asciilifeform knows for 'improve X' is 'discard pretenses'
asciilifeform: douchebag: since you do not read logs, you may be surprised and interested to find out that folx like you show up regularly, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-24#1632239 ☝︎
asciilifeform: it is not insult to intelligence, either. technicians have a place. but douchebag gotta decide which it is that he wants to be, and stop pretending to be the other.
asciilifeform: technician -- told. 'my tv lost vertical raster, tell me what do'
asciilifeform: this is why 'technician'. an actual adept does not have to be told.
asciilifeform: by solving unsolved one.
asciilifeform: point being that a student who is tired of 'solved problems' can demonstrate mastery any time he's ready and able. ☟︎
asciilifeform: use imagination.
asciilifeform: douchebag: then you have various options. and you don't need me or anyone to tell you what these are.
asciilifeform: i dun think more than a week has gone by, at any point since trb first proclaimed , when trb was not mentioned in some way
asciilifeform: shinohai: he'll, apparently, read for 36 months if it's webgarbage by microshit press etc
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i suspect that 'chukcha is not a reader, he is a writer'
asciilifeform: douchebag: therealbitcoin.org
asciilifeform: douchebag: will be taken seriously quite quickly.
asciilifeform: douchebag: why limited to 'web framework' ? if you consider yerself fit for work in hard/unsolved problems -- why not go and find remotely exploitable boojum for trb
asciilifeform: douchebag: didja ever go to school of any sort ? did they give you Great Unsolved Problems to solve in school ? or old, solved ones ?
asciilifeform: douchebag you trained as a technician and the tubes you trained on are on their way out. sad (for you) but true. consider learning something else.
asciilifeform: there is not a future with vastly moar php in it
asciilifeform: douchebag: iirc you came and 'i am very good at finding bugs in php' and found a few and folx said 'thanx' and what do you want now ?
asciilifeform: so naturally propagates.
asciilifeform: most folx are no more capable of conceiving an ~original~ abuse than of original symphony or theorem, lol
asciilifeform: fwiw asciilifeform does a few things (not really worth writing about) in his ( not overly abundant ) sparetime that wouldn't make any sense whatsoever to a 'la ce imi serveste mie...' pov , strictly to 'stretch muscle'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my impression is, some folx like 'pumping' their head, like muscle men pump muscles, others -- not. and who's who, is apparent from early childhood.
asciilifeform: at the risk of abusing proverb -- teacher can lead horse to water, but cannot make him take square roots
asciilifeform: ftr this applies to everybody. incl. asciilifeform , who had been 'using v' by hand-crank for year+ prior to writing the actual one
asciilifeform: i'ma let mircea_popescu give the one-troo summary if he feels like ( it's his article ) but will say, it was about the archetypical f-student schoolbois's canonical lament 'what good will learning square roots do for me'
asciilifeform: !~ticker --market all
asciilifeform: douchebag are you ok with eurolangs or do you need this englishized
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-22#1788491 << lol >> http://trilema.com/2011/la-ce-imi-serveste-mie-radicalurile/ ☝︎
asciilifeform: odd, i get a 'no resolve'
asciilifeform: you could probably 'make thousand problem' for'em cheaply.
asciilifeform: because if so, their refusal to answer call to rereg it is iirc a violation of their imperial dns charter
asciilifeform: btw hanbot looks like yer domain expired ?! was it regged through nfsco ?
asciilifeform: it's the 'uber' variant of pantsuitism. ~whole thing is robot.
asciilifeform: faq pretty clearly (last i read it, coupla yrs back) spelled out what they skimp on.
asciilifeform: they don't cost ~1% of what similar item costs from other vendors because martians work for'em for free...
asciilifeform: i suspect stupidity (and re how long d00d's been in biz -- senility) as explanation. shitpay offered hook, nfsco -- bit
asciilifeform: they only recently began to claim to eat btc, recall
asciilifeform admits to never having attempted paying'em in btc
asciilifeform: (or possibly was ordinary white shopping bag when new, lol)
asciilifeform wonders if the tight little red bag around d00d's head is standard police kit nao
asciilifeform: 'Authorities were outside the hotel early Wednesday when Conditt got in his vehicle and drove away. They followed him until he pulled into a ditch and blew himself up, police said. The blast injured a SWAT officer.' etc
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in unusually-lively amerifolx, https://archive.is/xWRiV
asciilifeform: thatd've worked better, lol
asciilifeform at one time tried to make a 'destupidator', even had the .com regged
asciilifeform: there's prolly an ideal batch size where the arithmetic still fits in cache, which it'd make sense to use. but this is a detail for later.
asciilifeform: btw for anybody who hasn't grasped yet, n can have as many prime factors as you want. (e.g. P(phuctorade-set) say)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha
asciilifeform: if there were a place to take bets, could take best on how many pop, lol
asciilifeform: needless to say cheng's 4p-1 is getting added to phuctor as soon as it stands back up.
asciilifeform: i like how asciilifeform doesn't have to elaborate, mircea_popescu instantly grasped the boojum. almost as good as telepathy!11
asciilifeform: ( e.g. pollard's )
asciilifeform: the notable bit is that it does not fall into any of the previously documented classes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's the kind of thing described by shamir and lenstra for 'evil prime generator'
asciilifeform: ( proof lives sadly in this : https://eprint.iacr.org/2002/109.pdf turd )
asciilifeform: in other quasi-noose, if n is p*q, and 4p-1 = d*b^2, where b is integer and d is in {3,11,19,43,67,163}, n is factorable in polynomial time (with modest constant!)
asciilifeform: probably easier to manually curate a list of friendly items that linked to yours, and dispense with the wp automagic ping thing
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788357 << it is 'broken' like this : you don't get a box (or even virtual box) with a particular ip, on nfs co, but rather a thing reminiscent of crapflare (but built ~20yrs prior) where the dns resolves as ip x for some loads, ip y for others, etc. so as to spread the ddosolade around. ( somewhat surprisingly, it actually worx -- eats multi-GB without coughing ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: iirc p/b, t/d, g/k, r/l
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788355 << lol, korea ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788309 << demands login ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: also if anyone bothered to read the linked turd, baker is not the author, it is ocr from usg leak ☟︎
asciilifeform: old age suxx.
asciilifeform: however today he seems to mostly crackpotiferate on that 1 ml.
asciilifeform: even in '90s, incl the quite well known http://www.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/CheneyMTA.html item
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788312 << not quite 'utter in all respects', did quality work on garbagecollection in 1980s ☝︎
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in world of entomology, http://www.metzdowd.com/pipermail/cryptography/2018-January/033741.html
asciilifeform: nomoar gsm.
asciilifeform discovered '2g shutdown'(tm)(r) the hard way -- fallback modem quit working. ☟︎
asciilifeform: and of course the 'bonus' side effect of getting the remaining recalcitrants onto nsaware touch-pnojes.
asciilifeform: '3g' ('modern' 'progress' telco protocol) , apparently, eats less spectrum. therefore moar +ev.
asciilifeform: in other maybe-sorta-noose, turns out that there is just 1 telco remaining in usa ('tmobile') that still services mircea_popescu-style classical 1990s 'nokia' etc. pnojes. and it in turn will close down support in 2020. and ditto in europistan, asia, prolly elsewhere.
asciilifeform: this is not proof of heavypetting, tru
asciilifeform: fwiw
asciilifeform: i used ordinary cellophane tape, clear.
asciilifeform: at least some of it , was
asciilifeform: apparently
asciilifeform: cuz i packed no such thing in'ere
asciilifeform: is that an official molestation mark tape ?!
asciilifeform: umm
asciilifeform adds this potential lulzfest to the agenda.
asciilifeform: but afaik there isnt one on the spacestation quite yet,
asciilifeform: right, same simple hand tool to read as to write.
asciilifeform: there is a way, but needs a jtagtron.
asciilifeform: can't think of how else.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma take the magic wand along to BingoBoingostan and recertify the whole fg stockpile with own hands.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: couldja post a photo of the fg crate and contents ?
asciilifeform: this is depressing
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: they weigh, what, 40 grams. really, to save mass, removed?! bah
asciilifeform: ( deliberately not doable from the comp , the serial port is a 1way thing, recall )
asciilifeform: if diddled fw is a concern, they gotta be re-fw'd, by hand, via the fw-filling connector
asciilifeform: ( printed copy each buyer owns; and cached , linked from my www )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: Official test algo is in the manual
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: generally speaking in modern en. 'cadaver' is a 'prepared' corpse, i.e. for anatomical study...
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/dPB7b << in diff fishwrap, with moar mugs.
asciilifeform: rather.
