decimation: unfortunately it seems that here in the us there is much less clarity about how to be 'fully legal'
adam_obrien: I have to run here, if any of you need Bitcoin give me a ping adam@btcsolutions.ca
adam_obrien: I don't. I have never liked cavirtex and haven't used them since there was other options
adam_obrien: Ah - Quebec is on it's own. They operate by their own rules for some strange reason
decimation: do you have a relationship with those cavirtex guys?
adam_obrien: Hmmm. I haven't heard that. I think they are having issues in Russia. But in Canada everything is all good :)
mircea_popescu: didn't the atms recently get shut down or is that a different country ?
danielpbarron: i can get it soldered, i just thought that unit might have been a good fit for people without access to one
adam_obrien: I own bitcoin solutions (www.btcsolutions.ca) we operate some Bitcoin ATMs as well as a margin trading platform
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: this one might not need soldering? << really, it doesn't NEED soldering, you can just glue it in contact, with conductive paste, whatever.
decimation: adam_obrien: do you work for those bitcoin atm folks?
mircea_popescu: no biggie. just needs repeating till ppl get in habit
mike_c: i made it unlisted, but it will get the link from b-a log..
mircea_popescu: google indexes that shit.
adam_obrien: Hhaha, I wish. Unfortunately I wasn't around then so it couldn't have been me
mircea_popescu: are you the obrien of 1984 fame ? :D
adam_obrien: Glad everything is set up and verified! I had a whale of a time doing so
decimation: nah, the whole 'd1scr1m1n4t10n!!!111!!' has everything to do with the general divide & conqueror the kulaks program, and nothing to do with the exercise of actual power ☟︎
adam_obrien: Haha ding ding indeed! I have to run.
assbot: Pete Dushenski (@pete_dushenski) | Twitter ... ( http://bit.ly/1FchwUk )
adam_obrien: Not sure his username. He is the one that got me on here
asciilifeform: decimation: just demonstrating that d1scr1m1n4t10n!!!111!! is not the root password to usg
decimation: asciilifeform: apparently the CIA has infinite leeway to do whatever it wants, as long is it can claim that some kind of secret is at stake
danielpbarron: or rather, registering with assbot / you're not in the WoT yet
danielpbarron: and nice job already getting in the WoT before joining :D
adam_obrien: Yes that is me
assbot: Adam O'Brien (@Adamobie) | Twitter ... ( http://bit.ly/1FcgKXz )
danielpbarron: is this you? https://twitter.com/adamobie
danielpbarron: ordering a few of these things now; i needed to get some other stuff anyway / added to order
asciilifeform: so for all those who were wondering re: the proverbial 'who is stronger? the elephant, or the whale ?'
asciilifeform: radecraft and the identity of human assets; (d) the targets and focus of CIA's intelligence collection and operations, and (e) the location of CIA covert facilities. Accordingly, the Court grants Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment'. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 28) is GRANTED, and this action is DISMISSED without prejudice.'
asciilifeform: litigation of Plaintiffs claims would present an unjustifiable risk of disclosure of classified information regarding (a) the identities of CIA officers and employees, (b) the job titles, duties, work assignments of Plaintiff and other covert employees, and the criteria and reasons for making the work assignments and employment decisions regarding them, (c) sources and methods used by covert employees, including operational t
asciilifeform: ''After careful consideration of the public and classified pleadings, the Court holds that Plaintiffs claims must be dismissed under the state secrets privilege because (1) privileged information is at the heart of Plaintiffs claims for discrimination on the basis of disability and race, hostile work environment and retaliation, (2) Defendants cannot defend this action without relying on privileged information, and (3) further
asciilifeform: (not a wholly illogical thing to do, but annoying to us junkyard dogs)
asciilifeform: they omitted it to save a penny.
asciilifeform: because there is no connector inside the 'pogo'.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: -any- of them will need soldering
assbot: Amazon.com: NooElec PL2303 USB to Serial (TTL) Module/Adapter with Female and Male Wiring Harnesses & Test Jumper. Compatible with Windows 98 through Windows 7; Mac OS 8 through OS X, Linux and Android!: Computers & Accessories ... ( http://bit.ly/1Fcekbo )
danielpbarron: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009GXEF8A/ << this one might not need soldering?
asciilifeform: you need three leads, tx, rx, ground
asciilifeform: in earlier thread
danielpbarron: there was a cheaper one, but this one has more reviews
asciilifeform: even appears to come with wires
assbot: Amazon.com: KEDSUM® CP2102 Module STC Download Cable USB 2.0 to TTL 6PIN Serial Converter For STC: Computers & Accessories ... ( http://bit.ly/1B1Vwws )
danielpbarron: http://www.amazon.com/KEDSUM%C2%AE-CP2102-Module-Download-Converter/dp/B009T2ZR6W/ will this do?
asciilifeform: (theoretically, default, don't have to set. but if your favourite term emu makes you set - then above)
asciilifeform: set to 115200 baud.
asciilifeform: and ttl logic rx and tx on the other end of the hose.
asciilifeform: ubiquitous. should cost no more than a few bux
danielpbarron: what would you advise that i purchase?
asciilifeform: and everybody who is seriously dealing with this stuff ought to have at least one 'pogo' with serial jack.
danielpbarron: can i ssh into this thing?
asciilifeform: (srsly, there is an 'atari' port.)
asciilifeform: 0x800000 - if it wasn't obvious - is where uboot parks the kernel prior to jumping in
asciilifeform: incidentally it is possible to write the eeprom from uboot (you gotta pump in the new payloads via tftp in that case, but you save time by not needing to wait for an os - such as the terrifying bloat of systemdized-archlinux - to load)
asciilifeform: (the value is simply the sum of the lengths of mtd0..3, naturally, and these numbers are available in the uboot console if that's all you've got)
asciilifeform: if you monkeyed with your pogo's mtd mappings, you will have to recalculate
asciilifeform: the 0x1000000 is the offset of the default mtd4 eeprom partition
asciilifeform: i possibly ought to discuss the constants
cazalla: mike_c, k thanks, i tossed it into the article in blockquotes
asciilifeform: will post patch set once i can be bothered to crap one out
asciilifeform: for whatever that's worth.
asciilifeform: i have demonstrated that netbsd kernel (of my custom trimmed build) will correctly init the periphs on pogo
mike_c: cazalla: yeah. i hate watching videos. figured i'd spare others the pain.
asciilifeform: and possibly in case someone wishes to install on larger disk and boot from it, for purposes of dev work.
asciilifeform: the only conceivable use of the above sample is to demonstrate that netbsd will function correctly on 'pogo'.
asciilifeform: i will not sign this. if it annihilates your home planet, i am not responsible.
decimation: asciilifeform: it would go nicely with an old-timey ibm serial terminal :)
asciilifeform forgot that not everyone's pogo has the serial jack
asciilifeform: unless you have it configured to do the udp console thing
danielpbarron: is halting uboot something i'd need the serial thing for?
asciilifeform: the 0xc00000 is a round number here, you want it to encompass your binary's size
asciilifeform: (for manual testing, can make this default behaviour if want)
asciilifeform: then you halt uboot on the next powerup and 'run boot_bsd'
asciilifeform: basically, used like this,
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i will post a patch to the netbsd src tree
danielpbarron: how can i repeat this? i'm stuck on your last tip about something in a TOOLS directory
decimation find this to be a good reason to buy a pogo and play along
asciilifeform: decimation: i forget if mentioned earlier: got the whole build to work
decimation: ah, still it's neat that you got it working
asciilifeform: decimation: at the moment, yes
decimation: asciilifeform: so you are still using the u-boot copy-to-ramdisk method if you don't have a driver for the eeprom?
cazalla: mike_c, did you transcribe that?
assbot: (several um's, uh's, you knows, removed) Hello the internet. Bryan Micon her - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1B1SxnV )
trinque: certainly not the second
trinque: I might've gotten past the first chapter of that book
asciilifeform read that tlp article, wakes up to having known precisely the type of animal described therein - in real life
asciilifeform: having actual support for the nand would make it possible to eliminate the 'ramdisk' and shave a few MB off the memory footprint.
asciilifeform: (why do i need a conventional install? because want to test my attempt at driver for the nand as a kernel mod)
asciilifeform proceeded to stuff in a drive and... fire it
asciilifeform realized that he built the fscking netbsd -installer- into the eeprom
mircea_popescu: sely because the longer he stays in any one place, the better chance he'll be discovered to be a loser. Time to go where the grass is greener, somewhere people don't know you're there to crap on it.
mircea_popescu: The entire spirit of the book can be summarized by Dean's words: "Sal, think of it, we'll dig Denver together...!" That's what a man who is trying to con a woman into running off with him would say. Denver, really?? Really? Why? Because it starts with D? I'd at least momentarily entertain the theory that D cities are great places to get to, but the real reason he wants to get to Denver, or anywhere else, is preci
assbot: The Last Psychiatrist: Kerouac's On The Road: The 50th Anniversary Of A Book I Had Not Read ... ( http://bit.ly/1B1PITO )
mircea_popescu: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2007/10/kerouacs_on_the_road.html << did i say what a fucking great review this is ?
cazalla: seems a bit suss he would say he is unsure what happened with the servers but is already moving forward to relaunch
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do recall this, now that you mentioned it
mircea_popescu: and always was there.
assbot: Micon Details The Operational Security Concerns Of Seals With Clubs | Qntra.net ... ( http://bit.ly/1B1Orft )
mircea_popescu: this, fwiw, is patently false. even now is being advertised a device which, iof placed on tank, will make the car not use fuel.
