trinque: ah now I recall what might reduce the print audit's usefulness. it means visual inspection of the encrypted items, as well as OTPs. logger box has to first see the encrypted item, second, corresponding OTP, and then this log has to be verified by someone who can (elsewhere) crack open the encrypted ones and match up the OTPs.
asciilifeform: also if i had a working ivorytron 1st thing i'd do is put diamond paste & hs from opteron on it... so yea wtf
mircea_popescu: lol mkay. i mean this dood. and wtf already, put some probes on the baffling process, this is science ?
asciilifeform: i think 'engineer' is the 'dougnyc' d00d
asciilifeform: oh hm i meant the other d00d
mircea_popescu: hey, 0.1% or so by mass, about 33% or so by output of usg.nsa/etc is zekware. and i mean this quite literally.
trinque: funny thing was I'd already considered having the OTP box burn a CD as it went along, just shitter printing without visual inspection.

At this point we've been trying to get in contact with Marcus for 18 hours and nobody knows where he's been taken," the person added. "We still don't know why Marcus has been arrested and now we have no idea where in the US he's been taken to'
trinque: I haven't.
mircea_popescu: trinque i'll dare say it's something else. have you ever seen "a man for all seasons" ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-08-03 18:07 asciilifeform: trinque: incidentally i recently purchased a number of thermal printers from dying ratshacks, you can have one for cost of postage
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-03#1693332 << I stand next to a stack of them at this moment, lol ☝︎
trinque: still are, I can confirm :p
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reason i even quoted etc is that for all the diversity, no actual stupidity came out. so...
mircea_popescu: if this isn'tr bitcoin, i dunno what is.
asciilifeform: i like thermal.
asciilifeform: i dun much like those for even light seekritz, they leak via audio
shinohai: From the sewer: "I think bcash sounds much cooler than bitcoin. the name bitcoin feels like myspace, bcash feels like facebook."
asciilifeform: i did hope to find some other major source of dogslow. but nope.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-03 17:23 asciilifeform: which i demonstrated (at least to my satisfaction) as caused by slow verification on ~own~ end, of incoming blocks
asciilifeform: i thought this was re 'ploy' item
asciilifeform: i dun see it there ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no i know, i already put it in teh report.
asciilifeform: trinque: incidentally i recently purchased a number of thermal printers from dying ratshacks, you can have one for cost of postage ☟︎

asciilifeform: trinque: if there were a hardware-only way of logging what traveled over that serial port, even better << i use a thermal printer for this
trinque: I'm going to do a writeup when released, still putting it together.
asciilifeform: i somehow missed.
trinque: an external adatronic otpulator makes dealing with transactional items diddled by the web safer, as I see it
asciilifeform: but i have nfi how much it costs you, you would have to make a profiling patch similar to mine and see.
trinque: could be that I diddle the RPC hole too often for this node
asciilifeform: which i demonstrated (at least to my satisfaction) as caused by slow verification on ~own~ end, of incoming blocks ☟︎
trinque: what I see in my logs is many BANNED and many "no message in first 60 seconds"
trinque: k, that's all I had, not "connect"
trinque: I may have misunderstood the wires patch behavior.
trinque: mircea_popescu: the node's behind, and looks like it's not getting anything from its connections. I'll look into it.
mircea_popescu: though i suppose that may well be a major overstatement. evaluation process too noisy to correctly catch just how fast it's dropping.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-03#1693218 << i thought the dude carefully linked to the foundation website << it is, ya ☝︎

asciilifeform: meanwhile, at the monkey circus, https://archive.is/RiGV4 >> 'Going to be lolz epic when all the SegWit transactions are double-spent, i.e. stolen by miners on The Real Bitcoin (the legacy Satoshi blockchain).' 'Go ahead and continue voting to close and censor this question.

asciilifeform: supposing that one day i find another d00d who has the pinout...
asciilifeform: last d00d who 'i will fly out for it!' was adlai
asciilifeform: lol i might have found a buyer for ye olde 3620
asciilifeform: phf: nm i since found the l0gz item
asciilifeform: ( and not even 640, but 64k, i will point out, is plenty )
mircea_popescu: myeah, i figured "fuck you, write the paging yourself" the moment 4 bit was out of my mouth.
mircea_popescu: getting back to the "i'm from california and thereby i'm fucked in the head" thread, "Configure GitHub to look Symbolicsish ; Configure YouTube to look Symbolicsish". this "task" pretty much explains the whole thing imo.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re rsa, i'm looking forward to msdos ffa test.
mircea_popescu: why do i even bother with all the nitwits.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
asciilifeform: i'd estimate roughly 386 equiv
asciilifeform: lol i think we did this one!
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "Uber’s lawyer: What is the patent that is left in the case, as you understand it? Page: I have no idea." (from google-uber suit, via #bolix).
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/iSZ4r3h.jpg in other news.
mircea_popescu: anyway. it was a big deal enough for qayser-i rhim to be a thing.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-02#1692922 << i let this slip by somehow. afaik this is STILL unsolved in the open lit. ( 'this' being 'fpga glue for ssd replacement of st506 drive' ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if this was so ( and iirc it was how u. eco painted it , and for some reason i balked ) then yes
asciilifeform: ( collectors, i say, are to bolix as phylloxera is to wine. )
asciilifeform: i thought constantinopol was 'all pasture inside' at that point..?
asciilifeform: i meant the specific ones denied to the rebelling son. ( rather than 'any' )
mircea_popescu: except not at all without. i personally sat on the steps of oldest university in europe -- in istanbul. 1200s
asciilifeform: also i'll note, there are 2 types of copy, the basic 'soviet' type ( where you life everything incl. dec's 'when you care enough to steal the very best' easter egg inscription ) and the kind where you actually get the ~concept~ out
mircea_popescu: "bare hands" at the time meant low control high force "i can move rocks hehe".
mircea_popescu: i've yet to buy a multiuser box.
phf: it is possibly because 3600 series is a hog. xl1201 is snappy, i got it to render a jpeg over the wire for example, all the hacking was done on machine over x11
mircea_popescu: i'm not sure there's much limitation on usage.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other lulz : i just brokered a deal whereby we could in principle get candi to run off vintage iron, as a hosting deal :D ☟︎
asciilifeform: i will illustrate my comment 'they are grave robbers, not archaeologists'. take, for instance, https://www.instagram.com/p/BUXulHRgjEZ/?taken-by=tr1nitr0n ( it dun show on archive.is, i have nfi why . ) pictured is derp buys 4 (! and where?!) smbx ivory cpu
asciilifeform: and studiously avoided ever writing to asciilifeform , though will claim to have, and even to have met him in meat ( i know quite well that i have met none, and never saw any such mail )
mircea_popescu: anyway, the idea was, restaurants don't work like apple stores, there's a "concept store" etc. they work more like music acts i guess.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the situation is tight coupling between businessman and chef, which meanwhile disolved. i still count it as an a, except the funes item came in thje shape of starr/rose binome.
phf: i'm pretty sure starr himself is not a cook, but apparently the whole starr restaurant is not his first venture, he started as a large-scale stadium concert organizer (? i'm not sure what to call that role), so who knows how much cash he put into his restaurant venture
mircea_popescu: a yeah, check that out, franchised. sad. i've not seen the books but i'll bet you the conglomerate lost money q1 2017.
phf: mircea_popescu: i'm thinking stephen starr
mircea_popescu: i am not aware of a successful restaurant that was built as you describe. you have a) the funes style restaurants, owned and operated by an actual expert chef. these are 50-50 for roi. b) the "prestige" restaurants of very large hotel conglomerates. these always lose money and are the mud from which a sprouts and in which a goes to die. and then you have the roadside diners. and then d) you have the franchises.
mircea_popescu: phf he tried and failed from hwat i hear. though i hear via actual bar people, as opposed to itards, and it's mixed in "shithead has nfi how to run a bar" expletives.
asciilifeform: phf: i dunno how to parse this
phf: i think if he stuck to the original "cyberia" vision from The Hackers instead of leaning towards the whole san francisco cyber goth thing, but then you can't really bring new york cool to san francisco anyway
asciilifeform: i had nfi!
mircea_popescu: o ? i wasn't aware that was solved even.
mircea_popescu: i believe. to my eye that's not apparent, just, you know, "Whatever boxes they use"
mircea_popescu: i'm sure.
asciilifeform: i.e. 'oscilloscope shaped'
asciilifeform: 'A break from my usual exotic, esoteric, rare and high-end vintage computers- I built a 486DX2 66mhz DOS shitbox for reliving my childhood.' ( from his twatter ) << lulzily, i did this recently..
mircea_popescu: i believe.
mircea_popescu: well, i guess see if ian wants to reg a pgp key, i'd rate him. if nothing else, on the strength of
mircea_popescu: i see.
phf: the later, in fact that little snippet of quails piping in reminded my why i don't spend time on bolix.
mircea_popescu: anyway. so far i've not discovered a discrete way to help teh good folk.
phf: perhaps if it was my only thing to do, but i would still probably find myself staring down a barrel of a nagant at some point
phf: that was before i knew either tr0n or probably even asciilifeform for that matter. ascii's been posting bolix stuff for a while now, and i'm not particularly keen on mediating this relationship.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i read to the end and still have nfi who these folx are. i suspect we have ( charitably ) case of mistaken identity.
phf: i know trinitr0n personally, and i also spent time on #bolix a year or so ago, but snr went down, and now it's mostly tr0n's personal shit talking place, so i just communicate with a handful of people from that channel who i think are useful by other means
asciilifeform: i've been trying to buy one for ages.
mircea_popescu: i did ask as far as i judge polite.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im a guest there, what. am i going to go around visiting people and organising their harems ?
mircea_popescu: i was rather positively impressed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i still have nfi which d00d it is, who claimed to know me
asciilifeform: i dun think i ever had an 8086 without 640k
asciilifeform: i'll confess, i never had a pc-jr.
