asciilifeform: ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-24#1702815 << old thread re subj ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-23#1702698 << lol divide this figure by 8 ☝︎
asciilifeform: observe that box with 1990s level of immunity to 'cachebleeds', 'rowhammers', etc. still costs 1990s price...
a111: Logged on 2017-08-23 23:25 asciilifeform: in other non-noose, 10ns ecc sram is ~15 usd / megabit today.
asciilifeform: for instance, i might like to bake a box with ice40 as 'mips cpu' and http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-23#1702696 for main memory. and then for ~2k usd you can have... 16MB . and what to run on that. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 00:21 mircea_popescu: for all the derpage about "attack sites using your computer to mine shitcoins" in the usg.fakenews media, google's been using well over half of everyone's cpu an' ram for the past i dunno, decade ?
asciilifeform: granted 64M won't get you very far if you're eating up http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-12#1849805 . but at the very least how about kernel that doesn't eat half of those 64M just for own ??? 'needs'. ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm entertained by the 'steal the having-been-stolen-from' of current 'minimal linux' frauds
asciilifeform: ( and when tried to re-create this in '14, found that it is impossible, the packages are nowhere, unsurprisingly )
asciilifeform: fughet even the '80s, i had freebsd 4.7 quite satisfactorily on 'toshiba libretto' with 64M / 166Mhz.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> who the fuck thinks '256M / 500MHz' is 'minimal hardware' << People who never played with total RAM measured in kiblebytes
asciilifeform: who the fuck thinks '256M / 500MHz' is 'minimal hardware' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: The ;tldr is the "Poder ejecutivo" decided to throw the "Comandante en Jefe" in jail for 30 days
asciilifeform: M and a 500 MHz CPU, meaning that some very elderly silicon is theoretically going to be able to enjoy the highly polished Enlightenment desktop'
asciilifeform: in other idjicies, 'Designed to run on minimal hardware, Elive is very much a passion project of its leader, Samuel F Baggen. Based on Debian, the first version took a bow in 2005. The second stable version made an appearance in 2010 and it has been a long eight years for the third stable version to become available. ... Elive has an impressively low bar to entry, with hardware requirements for the distribution coming in at 256 MB RA
asciilifeform: recall how seagate shipped (mech) hdd that in konsoomer model differed in 0 physical ways from the 'server' one, but 'mysteriously' misbehaved in raid ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that ssd makers dun particularly want folx using cheap stix in place of golden toilet 'adult' ssd.
mircea_popescu: it still seems improbable "fw boobytrap" is set so narrow, you barely get any use of the thing, on the basis of -- consumer market, much more use-y.
mircea_popescu: ok, but it's basically the same item, just arranged to emulate hdd
asciilifeform: re sd card -- mircea_popescu may find it interesting that asciilifeform's initial (week before flight) rk test bed used a premium 'camera' 128G sd to boot ~and~ run from. but found that it is intolerably slow, the things have pretty sad randomaccess performance
asciilifeform: ( the grime suggests sad things re the supposed 'gold' plating , incidentally )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where, in the rx100 ?
mircea_popescu: me too.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo cleaned a couple and found what looked like dissolved contact grime. which suggested the hypothesis.
asciilifeform: ( chances are -- not, as the boxen booted and ran without any eggog when they were emplaced on usb2 )
asciilifeform: i won't know if they actually used up their sparesectors until i zero'em tho
asciilifeform: i'd bet that not
mircea_popescu: did the ssds even get run through 3x or something ?
asciilifeform: i dunno, what sense does the crapple battery thing make. they rope chumpers into buyin' new ones, one way or other
a111: Logged on 2018-04-19 01:58 mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : i can't recommend the dsc-rx100 quite warmly enough. it's a splendid sony compact with zeiss lenses that's easily the best camera i ever saw.
mircea_popescu: eg, the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-19#1802801 item : i have it set on multishoot, thing dumps 700mb to its disk every time i take it out. fully cycled that card 50+ times by now ☝︎
mircea_popescu: what sense does that make, not like rk is high traffic. as compared to say a photocam
asciilifeform: hence i'd like to take'em to the saw.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also, i'll give you odds the damned things ain't melted.
asciilifeform: note that 4 of the 6 installed drives were found thusly 'castrated'
asciilifeform: i am rather curious where precisely the contacts melted, and so cleanly as to render the thing 100% functioning but usb2-only
asciilifeform: diana_coman, mod6 : plz say when ok to zero the retired drives ( dun have to be immediate, but it takes a day or so and would like to get'em mailed to my vivisection table ) ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-12#1849949 << what was the story here ? 'ohnoez, nun rape' item ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other news, smoked trout with blue cheese on homemade bread, best sammich ++ will have again.
mircea_popescu: seems redundant and counter-intuitive, but mayhaps i don't understand the wisdoms.
mircea_popescu: turns out that what it wants you to do is curl -b file.txt -c file.txt (to read and write to it).
asciilifeform never yet had occasion to curl-with-cookies
mircea_popescu: in other fucking lulz : curl -c will TRUNCATE the cookie file ; curl -b will NOT SAVE NEW COOKIES. as a result of this idiocy, if the server doesn't rebroadcast all cookies, you're fucked. what the fuck jesus, who truncates the cookie jar5
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it does, and current openssl does the /etc/.../systemwideusg.rubbish thing.
asciilifeform: and i'd prefer that the next heartbleed ends up fetching rubbish from ram of dedicated toilet, rather than errywhere.
mircea_popescu: doesn't it callout to openssl anytway ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rright but the curl bin oughta statically contain whatever's required. nomoar /etc/..../greekgov.cert plox.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 22:40 asciilifeform: come to think of it, a little proxy box ( make out of ~anything, even pogo ) would handily do the job. think 'chinese firewall https stripper' for home lan.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793409 << past thread on subj. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ideally such a thing would live on a dedicated box on lan, working as proxy (heathen-facing on the fetching end, plain http on the operator's)
asciilifeform: i can see an argument for keeping a cut-down version (perhaps trb's) around on ~some~ boxen , simply for curl-for-fetching-heathen-www, but that's about it.
asciilifeform: ( the lib itself is a hairball , not unlike winblowz, i pointed this out even before 'heartbleed' etc., in e.g. http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1299 )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: sslism cannot be terraformed and rebuilt for any constructive use, imho. it must die.
asciilifeform: a major function of sslism is to hinder ~user~ from examining ~own~ packets. this must end.
BingoBoingo: I dun see why the republic ought to acknowledge any root certs without registering with deedbot.
asciilifeform: but let's dispense with the pretense that 'sekoor'
asciilifeform: a patched curl that satisfies sslistic remote end, by whatever hook and crook, might be useful (for archiving etc) also.
asciilifeform: recently i was going through by hand in list of what's in my rk gentoo, and holyfuq, 'root cert of greek gov' etc. disgraceful.
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu reminds me , trinque : here's an idea, let's banish the 'root certs' and any systemwide sslism from cuntoo. if user demands it , let him install locally. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: among all the 104.16.78.166 (cloudflare), *.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com, *compute-1.amazonaws.com, *bc.googleusercontent.com etc etc, it should be quite evident why usg's been pushing "https everywhere".
a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 00:15 mircea_popescu: it's likle... redundant triangulation, the bs they got.
mircea_popescu: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-12#1849789 something like "sudo tcpdump -vv -x -X -s65535 -i eth0 'port 443' > hurr.txt" followed perhaps by a tail -f hurr.txt will prove enlightening enough. ☝︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: test anyffing you can think of.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, well yes, but this was more than a reset at any rate so I'd rather re-test anyway
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fwiw fg is not affected by resets; but i won't presume ever to tell anybody not to test theirs ( personally i only 'is it still there?' on machine boot, but thats just me )
lobbesbot: diana_coman: Sent 10 hours and 5 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plox to log into your unit and put it through any necessary tests
diana_coman: asciilifeform, BingoBoingo content is confirmed ok, thank you; currently collecting data from fg for tests - this part will take a while
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, it's very much the case.
mircea_popescu: that there's little difference, of either form or substance, and massive overlap of drive and interest uniting "the protocols of zion"-like stuff with "der sturmer"-like stuff with upton moore / michael sinclair -like stuff, with the WHOLE rest of protestant literature joint and several is, i suppose, the one thing pantsuit would least hear.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we had a buncha these lol. narod also.
asciilifeform: could've sworn we had this one
asciilifeform: !#s truda
asciilifeform: ( sometimes seems like odin created ro so as to make a set of falsecognates for ru folx to trip on )
mircea_popescu: "fefeleaga" has no obvious ro cognate, looks like a hu retroversion of some kind. but the exact path escapes me.
mircea_popescu: and no, -eaga is not the sufix there.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it preserves the important parts ; little is quite as dreary in human experience as the early modern mine.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is -eaga equiv to the ru equiv. suffix ? ( i.e. '--poorbastard' . e.g. бродяга ~= 'poor wandering bastard' )
asciilifeform: i think that may have been the 1st full length ro lit asciilifeform was able to eat
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect that you'll find
mircea_popescu: (orig story about old mine nag, very touching)
mircea_popescu: there's fine literary reference available, say "batore, sarace", but all this is cult.
mircea_popescu: i can't think of anything, actually.
asciilifeform: ( orig was pun. lit. 'one reaching the end of the road', but not errybody knows that it was a '30s play on 'доходим до социализма' slogan
asciilifeform: 'hey n00b, i already worked 3mo of the expected 3.5 life'
asciilifeform tries to picture 'senior' ruby dev
mircea_popescu: o btw -- if anyone's excited of the prospect of trying to avoid my scraping and messaging bots, fetlife's hiring a senior ruby on rails dev.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: before i buy the pile tomorrow, see if the item can be sourced from the same join where you magicked forth the uart
mod6: who wants to buy some random numbers?
asciilifeform: diana_coman also be sure to test yours
mod6: love this thing
mircea_popescu: of course they did.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm at least a little surprised to hear that any of'em paid anyffing
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: Sent just now: <asciilifeform> at your earliest convenience, plox to gpggram current postage addr, i can order these with own hands
mircea_popescu: Gigavps launched bonds, paid 3-40 cents to the coin to date (but you can dilute that if you wish to "upgrade", of course); hashking launched "investments", paid 30 cents or less; amazingrando idem, this is the story since day one. << http://trilema.com/2013/of-mice-and-men-revisited/#selection-131.313-131.544
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell BingoBoingo at your earliest convenience, plox to gpggram current postage addr, i can order these with own hands
mircea_popescu: incidentally, since we were discussing http://trilema.com/2018/surprised-by-joy-the-shape-of-my-early-life-adnotated/#footnote_163_80959 : ALL of these "early modern financial vehicles" are the same thing -- smoke and mirrors for a "government of England" to pay 30 pennies to the pound and keep the capital.
mod6 goes off to test the rockchip
asciilifeform: ( baking asics is a pretty straight way to bank on rising btcusd )
a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 00:01 asciilifeform: mod6: at your earliest convenience plox to comment re the proposed replacement drives.
