asciilifeform: the ssl derps i'll leave without comment. but the other great hero : 'Over the last 20+ years, Hugo contributed to Internet standards from the early days of IPsec and IKE to the current work on revamping the security of TLS for its "next generation" version, TLS 1.3. He is also a co-designer of HMAC, the widely used message authentication and pseudo-random function. More recently, he designed HKDF, an HMAC-based key derivation functi
asciilifeform: orld systems. This year one of the two recipients is the OpenSSL team. The other recipient is Hugo Krawczyk.'
asciilifeform: meanwhile in entomology dept, https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/01/10/levchin << 'Today I have had great pleasure in attending the Real World Crypto 2018 conference in Zürich in order to receive the Levchin prize on behalf of the OpenSSL team. The Levchin prize for Real World Cryptography recognises up to two groups or individuals each year who have made significant advances in the practice of cryptography and its use in real-w
asciilifeform: ... or use libretto system ( lid-close triggers suspend-to-ram; power button -- suspend to hdd )
asciilifeform: ( why no one has ? because , elementarily , lemon market. )
asciilifeform: this'd be quite trivial to implement, but afaik nobody has.
asciilifeform: phf: re suspend-to-ram -- 1 of the things i still dunget, is why there isn't simply a compartment for sd card in the back of the box ( any of'em, old or new ). let's say after lid closed for 10min, it'd write the ram to the sd. if battery alive -- does nothing. but if dies, then when dc plug reinserted, load back from sd.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: now this, this is madness. why stop at 5 bitcent ?!
asciilifeform: nifty little printer, except 1) the 'dip switches' are imaginary. instead it wastes 2 metres of paper on interactively querying you for config, when you want to reconfig it ( when new , pretty much , i dun see why ever a second time ) and 2) tear bar instead of cutter, is annoying imho.
asciilifeform: ( crapple's ~entire activity, for past ~20yrs, added up to work to ensure that you cannot use the crapple box you were happy with in 2002, today . )
asciilifeform: i'm not even fully convinced that the bga issue did not mask a more deliberate funsurprise, with e.g. a specially crafted slowly-melting 'planned obsolescent' fuse on the die, or the like.
asciilifeform: i had one such repaired, it lived <6mo.
asciilifeform: whether 'cheap' or not, depends on what you get, neh
asciilifeform: ( the 'real deal' tool is the ir lamp thing, looks a bit like a photo enlarger, with pre-heat bed underneath. i dun have one. i only have the hot air hose. which relies on your bare hands and ir thermometer to follow reflow curve, which is why my success rate is 20-30% , i suspect )
asciilifeform: pro tip : dun use the folx recipe with the paint strip gun and kitchen foil. it dun work.
asciilifeform: the 1 item folx do, is to pull off the flashroms, you can even buy a ready reader for'em nao. but only turdtroid, crapple has weird proprietary all-in-1 , for which nuffin is (publicly) available at all.
asciilifeform: last i saw one, it had 0 exposed or exposable contacts at all.
asciilifeform: iirc not even lcd in recent ipnoje, in any meaningful sense replaceable
asciilifeform: phf: not much room to work in, any moar, either -- new crapple iron is aluminum box with 2 custom chips, a custom prismatic li-po cell, and buncha epoxy
asciilifeform: a good % of the 'planned obsolescence' racket is enforced using batteryism.
asciilifeform: ( new konsoomer crapola uses custom, per-device prismatics )
asciilifeform: and this is while i can still get the 'universal' cylindrical cells. they will, i expect, disappear, at some point.
asciilifeform: today i gotta do this with own hands. because nobody else will, for any money.☟︎
