asciilifeform: ( ideally without using intel's shitware , in the latter, also )
asciilifeform: laplinker: and yes, what mircea_popescu said, write a post about this, i'd like to know what boxes this works on, how to talk to the chip, etc
asciilifeform: laplinker: how about after boot. can microshit tell that you're singlestepping their kernel ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i have'em in thick cardboard'an'foam crates
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i took copa via panama & bolivia, to c3 back in the day, it worked ok, ~empty planes some of the way
asciilifeform: moar general problem. if application is important, conceivably you can afford to throw out the 7 of 10 or whatever crates which show symptoms of having been opened.
asciilifeform: ( where asciilifeform described a full-bore crackpotteristic potential answer to the seal problem )
asciilifeform: and grr i can't seem to find the glass ball thread
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the ru item was remarkable because it was verifiable with simple analogue electronics, no fancy patternmatching camera etc
asciilifeform: the hard part is to set it up such that enemy doesn't simply replace the ~crate~ around the lock loop and laugh all the way to the bank
asciilifeform: what does mircea_popescu have in mind re seals
asciilifeform: not in the traditional plebeland sense ( i can set up a box such that with own hands i can see if it was opened. but what else is there ? )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun keep a massive pile of ssd on my person, lol. but:
asciilifeform: the 8bay one still has the stock card, 8cable 3wares are costly, but can be had on reasonably short notice
asciilifeform: this makes practical diff in re the ultimate capacity ( raid10 is wasteful )
asciilifeform: the one with 4, i've outfitted with a proper 3ware card that knows how to raid5 ( the stock card in mobo is also 3ware but only knows how to raid10 )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let's include several variants for completeness : 1) fedex , and chancing the VAT 2) somebody other than asciilifeform , who can go sooner, goes, delivers a box 3) BingoBoingo obtains box locally
asciilifeform: right but mircea_popescu runs on atomic battery.
asciilifeform: then the whole orchestra oughta go in the crate, yes
asciilifeform: i dun have with what to pay 10% of a 100,000 imaginary 'value' say.
asciilifeform: well depending what is the tax, could be same as steal.
asciilifeform: i still see it as open question, whether they'll wink through a crate with N servers as 'personal effects', or steal the whole lot
asciilifeform: can squeeze in a BingoBoingoistan expedition shortly thereafter
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779772 << i have 3 boxes prepared for bisp under s.nsa banners ; 1 is dulap-III , which is 'endisked', en-FG'd, and crated for its journey; 2 want disks; if mircea_popescu has specific config he wants for #2 and #3, or to obtain moar , gpggram.☝︎
