asciilifeform: well, when verification took 3s instead of 3min, problem was not visible to the idjit's naked eye

asciilifeform: ( that , e.g., barrierizes reads correctly, rather than blocking completely )

asciilifeform: and in order for this not to be the case, you need a sane db

asciilifeform: more exactly, for so long as it is verifying a block, it is dead-in-the-water

asciilifeform: aaha!

asciilifeform: hence the observation in the readme.txt.

asciilifeform: it did take a while to reach this state, given as 'wires' are no longer in use. had to actually connect to a working and nonblackholed trb.

asciilifeform: ( funnily enough it is now virtually impossible to connect to, on account of actually getting fed a block ~every time it touches anybody ... )

asciilifeform: fwiw 'aggression' is live on (still syncing...) zoolag, as of today.

asciilifeform: whoever has the resources to test this : plox to write in.

asciilifeform: this is testable empirically; like-so: any N trb nodes built with 'aggression' patch above, and linked via 'wires', should never fall out of height-sync with one another by more than a coupla blox. at any point.

asciilifeform: theoretically (!) this should make 'wires' (see last feb. log) actually work-as-intended. ( asciilifeform not yet tried. )

asciilifeform: *where any 2 trb nodes connect, and...

asciilifeform: analysis so far : ^^item^^ results , at last , in situation where any 2 trb nodes, and 1 is 'ahead' of the other, the 'trailing' node is guaranteed to be fed.

asciilifeform: ( iirc this was my 1st time using it )

asciilifeform: btw kudos to jurov , his http://therealbitcoin.org/mailman/post/btc-dev widget worked on first trigger pull !!

asciilifeform: and yes typo, FIRST not 'fist'

asciilifeform: ^^ mod6, ben_vulpes , trinque , mircea_popescu , et al ^^ ☟︎

asciilifeform: ACHTUNG, PANZERS! : http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2017-December/000281.html ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: !!up BigTexasBingo

asciilifeform: eww

asciilifeform: aaaa

asciilifeform: trinque: how's that work with the default log mechanism ?

asciilifeform: !~later tell trinque where didja get the log-timestamps in your trb ? ( which patch pressed to ? )

asciilifeform: phf: got sores for http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757611 horror ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: nifty.

asciilifeform pictures mircea_popescu in a tachanka

asciilifeform: but didja have a whippletree for'em

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757625 << lol i'ma guess mircea_popescu ended up in pediwik swamp when looked for gears... ☝︎

asciilifeform: surprised?

asciilifeform: aaaaha.

asciilifeform: or disgorge, via any means short of full bore crack, anything previously written therein , as a file ☟︎

asciilifeform: phunphakt: to this very day, crappleware won't -- as result of deliberate design -- emulate a disk

asciilifeform: disingenuouity

asciilifeform: apparently

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol, and when chinese mp3trons did better job, with 0 proprietary crapware needed to mount, and for 1/5th the price..

asciilifeform: with or without mechanicals.

asciilifeform: it's what all seekritballot voting was always about.

asciilifeform: shinohai: i thought knoppix evaporated in... 2007?.

asciilifeform: lol!,

asciilifeform: !~google IlRXqXAa'));select pg_sleep(6); --

asciilifeform: !~google select pg_sleep(6);

asciilifeform: shinohai: but yes, you want coreboot in'ere

asciilifeform: shinohai: trb needs a disk

asciilifeform: i'ma report when mine is put into service.

asciilifeform: shinohai: reflash, naturally

asciilifeform: ( even when sold for entire hundy, still 4x the bang for the buck of pcengines. )

asciilifeform: shinohai: aha, that series

asciilifeform: ( needless to say , they are sold diskless )

asciilifeform: the good one.

asciilifeform: amd g-series, btw

asciilifeform: shinohai: look on, e.g., ebay

asciilifeform: these are sold by scrap dealers

asciilifeform: fiddybux buys you a fanless 1.5Ghz x 4core, 4GB mem, GB nic, sata, in book-size plastic fanless chassis, dc brick

asciilifeform: shinohai: as it happens i just uncrated one today

asciilifeform: someone, somewhere -- eats.

asciilifeform: typically is what referheader crapolade is.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: betcha it's an opensesame to some ciscotron or similar garbage

asciilifeform: shinohai: if you can read the hands, can say, clock aint wholly broken... antikytheria clock wrong all day.

asciilifeform: yea but, like-this unreliable, or like-that unreliable ?

asciilifeform: ( mircea_popescu ^ ? )

asciilifeform: i'ma stfu and let the folx who actually tx every day, comment

asciilifeform: but it's been a while since asciilifeform experimented with subj.

asciilifeform: shinohai: oddly enuff, dun seem to be it

asciilifeform: send the 2nd, naturally, to self

asciilifeform: ( i still have nfi why this worx, but it never fails...)

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: or could send doublespend, that always seems to get the original moving!1!!

asciilifeform: sharp.

asciilifeform: noshit.jpg

asciilifeform: shinohai: i have moar boxes than could ever use, but few , sadly, pipes

asciilifeform: anybody got 2 trb-capable boxen, on separate ip but equal in bw ? can be in heathendom isp or wherever.

asciilifeform: and speaking of hasty and untested , asciilifeform has a 'aggressive sync mode' trb patch, which will need a proper differential test

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what outcomes lol

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757415 << problem is that i'ma peon meself, in the saeculum, and all plans presume avgcase peonage load per time unit ☝︎

asciilifeform: besides everyboddyknows yezhov was shot in '39

asciilifeform does not own a 'kurta', they are at this point museum-level rarity

asciilifeform: i betcha mircea_popescu would enjoy taking apart a 'kurta'

asciilifeform: !#s kurta

asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu wants a very specific function, he gotta say algebraically which. and the pile of gears will get gnarlier, quite quickly ...

asciilifeform: shinohai: '... and plot!' (tm)(r)

asciilifeform: and yes it means that every time you publish a sig, you also thereby supply a 'decryption' for some random string of soup

asciilifeform: ( for n00bz : rsasign and rsadecrypt are the same operation, mathematically)

asciilifeform: eh it was obvious to anyone who ever heard his cpu bzz on nearby radio

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757381 << decrypt timing-oracle elementarily leaks bits. ☝︎

asciilifeform: dunforget fatigue.

asciilifeform: b/w object that is imperfect because of limitations of the materials, and one that is broken because of limitations of the designer, who was dropped as a child

asciilifeform: there's a quite substantial difference

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: physically, known-imperfectly tho. rather than 'js soup'-imperfectly.

asciilifeform: shinohai: prolly, somewhere

asciilifeform: it was the kompyooting of its time. except : actually worked...

asciilifeform inherited pile of b00kz re clockwork

asciilifeform: ^ planetary

asciilifeform: iirc the artillery people did it with worm gear differential

asciilifeform: ( actually several ways to do it, because in actual life you seldom want tight 2way coupling of output to input shaft )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757362 << spur gear differential. ☝︎

asciilifeform: i have not yet attempted a musltronic one.

asciilifeform: ( recipe closer to danielpbarron's )

asciilifeform: trinque: i must note, my gentoo is ordinary, rather than musltronic

asciilifeform: which is monstrously retarded, but koch did not ask me, lol

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757275 << iirc gpg actually defaults to generating 2 moduli, sign-only an' decrypt-only ☝︎
