asciilifeform: sounds, btw, entirely not unlike 'microwaved' audio pickup .
asciilifeform: 'questions of a possible microwave or radio wave device .... If that were the case, the sounds wouldn’t show up on a recording' << and anyone should believe the clip is genuine article precisely why.
asciilifeform: 'Gori Njujork, Pentagon se pali,/ Ameriko, dali su ti, dali. / Gori Njujork, Pentagon se ruši, / Krajišnici, vraćajmo se kući. / Šta će sada u Zаgrebu vlada, / Amerika na kolena pada...'
asciilifeform: veteran ffaists will recognize the usual pattern -- do all of the possible ops that go into heaviest possible hamming weight of old-fashioned shiftness; but keep (via mux) only the required subshifts.
asciilifeform: they are almost certainly unnecessary on a pc, but can't put it past intel & friends to 'optimize' shl/shr, at the very least in the 'do nothing if operand is 0' sense.
asciilifeform: FZ_ShiftRight_Secret_SubW and FZ_ShiftLeft_Secret_SubW do exactly same thing as ye olde FZ_ShiftRight and FZ_ShiftLeft , but don't leak shift amt on machine w/out barrel shifter, at the cost of roughly 10x as much work
asciilifeform: if anyone can see obvious 'this can be simpler' or 'this dun make sense' plz write in.☟︎
asciilifeform: ^ minimal moving parts for barrettron suggested by apeloyee
asciilifeform: that's a max, for if you fill the disk cage
asciilifeform: y'know them opterons dun actually ~pull~ those 700w here on my desk, mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: when asciilifeform was a sysop in early 2000s, the only racked item in the dc he ministered to that drew < 300 W, was a thermometer.
asciilifeform: the low-wattage amd champ, incidentally, is the g-series ( as in 'pcengines', 'gizmo', and other sageprobetronic boards ) -- whole box pulls 10-20w
asciilifeform: microatx might be an exception, incidentally, it tends to be small, flat, passively cooled
asciilifeform: it's only even worth thinking about if no alternative.
asciilifeform: i've drilled various rackmount for custom internals ( currently fitting FG, incidentally , into u1 ) and it is a manual carpentry
asciilifeform: headache is in that you'd have to drill it, find heat sinks that fit, adapt the standard sliding rail ps to fit your thing, etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in principle almost anything can be stuffed into a u1; ~literally~ anything can stuff into a u2
asciilifeform: fabricated warez complaint or whatever nonsense will 99% of the time take out the 'exit' box and not touch the other
asciilifeform: while we're on subj -- the 'dumpster for ip, disks/cpu-horse elsewhere' gambit is (afaik pioneered, at least publicly, by mircea_popescu in mpex) imho a monumental thing
asciilifeform: though i've contemplated plugging the one designated for phuctor, in, and running it through some cheapo 1G-of-disk rental's ip, via home pipe
asciilifeform: they dun do much good sitting here in tortureroom, no.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's pile o'boxen could hold a mighty lot of znc etc
asciilifeform: ( iirc sks ~can~ be configured to reject pubs without selfsigs -- but not everyone did this )
asciilifeform: i haven't been able to think of any practical reason to do this, so could not be moved. but anybody with copy of the db dump, can, if he feels like.
asciilifeform: ( they also display ALL keys, incl. some misformatted. theoretically one could dump entire phuctor pubkeyset , incl. Framedragger's ssh conversions, in there.. )
asciilifeform: re sks, might be lulzy to generate revokograms for phuctured keys and send to it. afaik they currently display ALL revokograms with the respective key. put whatever text you want...
asciilifeform: that's a hefty bit of redundanthost...
asciilifeform: also memorize at least good chunks of friends' hashes , it is not a waste of brain cell
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: reading from top down is cheating!1111
asciilifeform: trinque, ben_vulpes : Great Firewall of Great Again already being betatested eh
