asciilifeform: hey, viet cong picked up dead 'd' batteries dropped by ameri-grunts, filled bamboo stick with'em , coupla dozen added up to 1 set of live ones for radio, supposedly
asciilifeform: 'they use even the sqeal'(tm)(r)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ikr ? the mpi thing, straight from my garbage can
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform don't you love how this here tmsr eventually uses all your ruins ?
mircea_popescu: i'd have thought with all the lisp fans it'd have spurned some fermentation.
mircea_popescu: ah. ok then!
asciilifeform: ftr 1 of the many ruins that litter asciilifeform's hdds is a half-written ada ecc ( pre-ffa )
phf: mircea_popescu: i did, i believe the reaction at the time was "let's see what'll come out of it", nothing came out of it though: cl-bitcoin in it's half baked state is using cffi to openssl
mircea_popescu: bug free, fast enough, etc. not like we're pressed by anything here, not like trb ceases to exist while we cut its guts open and so on.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: could, for example, use diana_coman's. or a modified permissive ffa. or even the thing that came with gnat. but in any case would be 'sapper errs once' component, gotta be bug-free
mircea_popescu: phf need i tell you how cool'd it have been had you said this 2016 rather than 2018 ?
phf: asciilifeform: apropos i've attempted two years ago to do a rewrite for my cl-bitcoin, got bogged down in group theory, at this point still trying to power through an "introduction to group theory" text book.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can't answer that q yet.
mircea_popescu: and yes, ffa majorily useful, and no, not necessarily against writing for it. but there may be a timing issue (trb that takes > minute to check block is useless)
asciilifeform: can be written from scratch ( whoever thinks that he can do it faster than asciilifeform's ffa, is welcome to try, i promise to take off hat ) or on ffa, either.
mircea_popescu: we made our own keccak, we made our own serpent, you made / are making our own rsa -- time for our own ecc.
asciilifeform: to be clear, we're talking about the eccolade numerics stack
mircea_popescu: ideally, with as little re-factoring of trb components as possible.
mircea_popescu: re-write what trb uses.
mircea_popescu: which classic tar ?
mircea_popescu: see ? there's immense benefits to "exchange dropped!!!"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so idea here is 1st to cut the classic tar to 'what used in trb' ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at this point, it's irrelevant. there's ~10 bucks of kentucky happy meals on the putative "other networks".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform constant time is a d) in that scheme. though i guess c-d may well package.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's old observation re the dacia air filter still holds tho, potentially replacing the hairball in trb with a 100% correct numeric set, will result in a forkable.
mircea_popescu: but yes, as far as trb work is concerned, a) taking off the bulidroot process because b) move it to cuntoo and also c) replace ssl dependency with one file, <1k loc are the priorities.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu gives signal that we're fucking done with the old flintlock pistols, then i'ma start welding on ffa in trb as soon as the former is battlefield-ready.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-20 19:39 mircea_popescu: it's the currency of the republic, you're so surprises it follows the flow and ebb of the very republic in question ?
mircea_popescu: certainly no tolerance of "i'm waiting on fondling for the fuck to get here"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i proposed this several yrs ago, but it was mircea_popescu who then reminded about air filters in old dacia
mircea_popescu: there's 0 pressure to "put everything in first fuck", you realise.
trinque: ah, don't mind me then. I agree entirely.
mircea_popescu: trinque not in any case discussing first patch. just the roadmap.
asciilifeform: well yes, eventually all of trb oughta turn into 'our correct coad'
trinque: this is too much ocenboiling for the first patch, akin to fixing everything wrong with trb in its genesis
mircea_popescu: why import ssl into trb anyway, makes 0 sense.
mircea_popescu: not even there, just patch it to use our own ~correct~ code.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik only in trb is needed
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 15:30 asciilifeform: will also be interesting to see if trb can sit down on trinque's libressl thing, instead of the frozen ancient openssl it currently goes with
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875133 << it's not clear to me why we have ssl AT ALL. the idea is to replace that whole pile with straight rsa, much like we're taking out dns (and touched upon in same piece) ☝︎
diana_coman: asciilifeform, correct re 1 disk; for the rest I'll have to decide but first step has to be testing trinque's new item locally anyway
asciilifeform: there's 1 of those in e.g. moscow
mircea_popescu: nah, the kind which were repaired dozens of times over the generations, where "repair" was interpreted to mean "add a mechanism to compensate for perceived errors".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i.e. the kind where somebody had to climb into the gears erry 6mo to change the frayed windlass rope ?
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 15:29 trinque: and the plan is indeed to get ave1's in, and I invite him to write the ebuild. the point of what I released is to preserve the found item, can now start changing it
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875131 << reasonable ; but yeah, plox ave1 write a patch for the damn thing, the dance is vaguely reminiscent of those organically-evolved early clocks. ☝︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: correct, theoretically may be movable ( tho as i recall, you currently have 1 disk, and if you're planning on filling the other disk holes -- and disks are available -- may as well install clean )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i stole the idea from there, yes
diana_coman: asciilifeform, smg's test machine is running proto-cuntoo so it's not just any gentoo really ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 15:05 asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-26#1874898 worx a+++ : prior, there was always 1 or 2 spamola in the mod queue erry day, ~through the broken google liquishit~, whereas nao -- none
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875120 << worked fab for bitbet for YEARS. contrary to ubiquitous claims, web 100% beheaded chickens by mass, nobody can as much as write a line of anything. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman, trinque : it isn't clear to me that 'move existing gentoo to cuntoo' without reformat of hdd is worth attempting -- non-musltronic dyn-linked sad gentoo bins will all barf once the pertinent libs are removed ( and they dun belong, imho, on a cuntoo box )
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 13:44 spyked: trinque, mircea_popescu: one thing I could do is have it deliver a small number of feeds (e.g. thetarpit, since that's under my control anyway) and have it subscribed to the others whenever you feel like. for now, all delivery to #trilema is disabled (and I'll bring the bot back on mircea_popescu's sign).
trinque: for now I'd like folks to confirm they get the same genesis.vpatch out the other end
diana_coman: the test before the test; well, yes, I'll have to
trinque: diana_coman: not necessarily, but I'd want to write you a guide before encouraging you to attempt (or have you write a guide using a machine locally)
BingoBoingo: In the too fat to jail files: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/amplian-procesamiento-de-michelle-suarez-por-falsificar-certificados-medicos-20181127112539
mircea_popescu: a sort of philosophical zombie, vessels carrying forth the voice of collective motherhood.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: maybe in 2015 'walking', today mostly flailing like beheaded chicken
diana_coman: aha; (tbh it seemed like that but I was being optimistic for once); so atm I'd need to basically nuke s.mg's test machine to move it on to cuntoo
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dead men walking, all these http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-12#974526 ☝︎
trinque: if you're feeling adventurous, read the bootstrap scripts and it should indicate what'd need to happen to convert a living system, but I had the thing generate a new bootable blockdev because of these hairy complications
trinque: diana_coman: it produces the genesis.vpatch that represents the state of the bootstrapped system. porting an existing gentoo over has additional complications. in theory you could yes, introduce what's in /cuntoo/ to an existing machine, but I think this deserves its own guide.
phf: asciilifeform: he "won" the suite, presumably spent fortune on lawyers, but donated immediately after.
diana_coman: trinque, that looks great; if I understand correctly, the archive there contains the means to a. install cuntoo b. make the genesis of cuntoo/portage that could in principle be used to move an existing gentoo to cuntoo; is this correct? ☟︎
asciilifeform: what's he even got remaining to donate.
asciilifeform: lol, didn't carmack lose his shirt to patent troll not long ago
phf: recently carmack donated to openbsd, they made a very big deal out if it being "the first individual silver level donor"
mircea_popescu: but it's not exactly clear what relationship there is, between the 2015 died-anyway would-be openbsd continuator, and the 1990s "fuck windows" alf's-apple-notion competitor.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 18:31 asciilifeform: d the online payment processor Stripe each pledged to donate $50,000 a year to Koch’s project.' etc
mircea_popescu: trinque in summary, the thing flew as such : 1. de raadt announced "openbsd dead as going concern without like 20k" ; 2. nobody cared ; 3. somebody brought it here ; 4. i paid his 20k ; 5. complex face-saving dance of usg commenced, very much blueprint for all later http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-26#1874881 ; 6. i told them exactly how unimpressed i am. which i still am. ☝︎
trinque: correct, that'd be the next step
asciilifeform: ( ideally we'd simply keep the logic demanded by trb and burn the rest. but dunno that anyone has the free hands for this presently )
trinque: if we're taking one, I think it's a candidate for taking.
trinque: it's just a thinned out openssl.
trinque: the openbsd folks took openssl and forked it, does not need openbsd to build
trinque: mircea_popescu: thought there was some kind of "we don't want your money" instance, but now don't recall details
asciilifeform: it is currently in the beta cuntoo
a111: Logged on 2017-09-29 16:34 mircea_popescu: trinque except you gotta maintain openbsd now.
mircea_popescu: i mean... http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-29#1718269 will work just fine without the current usg muppet. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's an 'openbsd-branded' item, 'libressl', quite similar to the hairball carried along in trb but weighing slightly less
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose this is the issue, i had mental image similar to what asciilifeform discusses, "openbsd the ancient artefact" ; was discussion more about usg.openbsd replacement in recent years ?
asciilifeform: dun talk, as such, no moar, sits in a flower pot, 'talkers' do the talkin' 'for him'
asciilifeform: near as i can tell, de raadt pupated into his mushroom form ( like rms ) yrs ago
mircea_popescu: trinque wasn't that de raadt ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: just their episode with you was all.
mircea_popescu: was fishing for the "shot in the foot" reference.
phf: trinque: how does that work with genesis, is it some other mechanism than having all the files in /distfiles? (i'm curious, but i don't have time to investigate)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik they've done ~nuffin in years, we're discussing an archaeological artifact
trinque: I've been building with unshare -n , uses the linux namespaces thing to detach the process from the network stack (fig leaf yes, but at least was a decent way to test)
mircea_popescu: what did they do now ?
trinque: you can build this thing without nic turned on
asciilifeform: phf: iirc trinque removed all network-dependency
asciilifeform: if said bugs affect trb logic, than it oughta be in trb asap ; if they do not, then not clear to me why better
trinque: much as the openbsd folks shoot themselves in the foot politically, I don't know that I trust them less than w/e derps contribute to openssl
phf: asciilifeform: presumably entire portage tree pulls from https:// unless trinque also hosting a mirror of everything (i haven't looked yet) ☟︎
trinque: libressl is being decrufted by the openbsd folks, result of which is that several pretty nasty bugs in openssl didn't affect libressl since they forked it. I can't vouch for the work, and it's certainly up for debate.
asciilifeform: for that matter, why does cuntoo need to include own sslism, afaik the only proggy that hard-depends on having one is trb
asciilifeform: ( i dun have any notion that one is 'better' than the other, in either direction, but imho the matter deserves discussion )
asciilifeform: trinque: now that i think about it -- what was the logic for including the alt-ssl in cuntoo, vs trb's frozen thing ?
