asciilifeform: the 'munition' thing was possible exception : in the clinton-era statutes, a body with rsa perl ~was~ counted 'munition'

asciilifeform: noshit

asciilifeform: so possibly even this has a use.

asciilifeform: i met people with horrid tat who made it specifically to close off life of being office plankton

asciilifeform: and iirc was some d00d's forehead

asciilifeform: had working perl rsa

asciilifeform: mno the rsa one, in '90s

asciilifeform: ( but did it exist? or myth )

asciilifeform: dunno, the rsaperl-cum-'i am a munition' tat was almost cool

asciilifeform: lolwtf is that tatoo

asciilifeform: prolly the 'unsexy' inventory handlig etc

asciilifeform: perfect match, madeinheaven -- the 1 system absolutely nobody will notice if rots

asciilifeform: lol!!

asciilifeform: or possibly 80+y.o. simply dun harley nomoar

asciilifeform: selling harley suggests it could be so...

asciilifeform: possibly

asciilifeform: they mostly use the alphas tho

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc dks still services an eternal contract with usg that runs on bolix and nuffin else.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: worse than bond?!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly site stopped updating

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not seen, no

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it barely suffices for harley annually

asciilifeform: under 'symbolics technologies'

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you can see sum of dks's income on usaspending.gov

asciilifeform: i was frankly disappointed when i learned he already has too many dec alpha

asciilifeform: he's just the man to cure asciilifeform's hoarding

asciilifeform: he also wants 2nd kbd and even pile of burned out rubbish, but didn't yet suggest what he'd trade for those

asciilifeform: lolneato

asciilifeform: if he ever comes to these parts.

asciilifeform: speaking of old harleys, looks like d00d from #bolix will trade 2 ivory cpu for 1 3620

asciilifeform: phf: looks like dks is now selling... a harley

asciilifeform: ( why crapple went with bsd ? partly the 'nextstep' ancestor; partly that in late 1990s it was still thought possible that gpl would have teeth )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694640 << amazon's devices are internally linuxed also -- unsurprisingly ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( i.e. item where some other party holds -- or claims to hold -- the privkey )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694665 << if it's anything like the last goxtime around, not 1 in 100 is buying ACTUAL bitcoin, but goxolade ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: ( i keep pretty much every intermediate step of just about every computation i ever do, because hell knows ) ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694653 << i did neither, but used existing press dir, from when i had pressed this on linux box ☝︎

asciilifeform: mine gathers dust.

asciilifeform: and it not merely pisses but shits on gpl, the thing cannot be turned into an actual linux, and actual linux (i.e. without massive blobage) is STILL unsolved problem on that box

asciilifeform: at any rate 'it's a gentoo' is an almost meaningless statement -- it dun have portage

asciilifeform: ^somewhere in there

asciilifeform: !#s chromebook

asciilifeform: #!s chromebook

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694638 << iirc i even mentioned it in the logs ☝︎

asciilifeform: dying empires all seem to go through a megalomaniacal-pyramidal construction phase

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694636 << what are they gonna run out of ? cement ? ☝︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694628 << i took that train, it was respectably full ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694579 << prolly still beats rotting alive in office ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aaaaand it is done.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694570 << mircea_popescu that looks great, i'ma turn the knob shortly. ☝︎

asciilifeform bbl, meat

asciilifeform: but this is whole own thread.

asciilifeform: the correct world is 'dataflow' (see logz) where every op signals output-ready, and no op proceeds until all inputs signal same.

asciilifeform: and while we're on subj , semaphores/locks come from broken algos which in turn come from idiot arch

asciilifeform: i oughta have put this on record yea

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i already walked the blox on the node in question, found 0 peculiar orphans

asciilifeform: and people who write db systems with locking, period, oughta be rendered for soap

asciilifeform: i will readily admit that i dun have a proper model of how bdb liquishit works

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: total db index mass at that point in the sync

asciilifeform: i wouldn't put it past anybody, to do anything

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sure, wai not

asciilifeform: not the tx individually.

asciilifeform: the sum, the sum of them

asciilifeform: betcha it ignores maxlocks setting when built on bsd.

asciilifeform: probably bdb camel

asciilifeform: just happens to be the straw that breaks camel's back

asciilifeform: yeah i didnt think so

asciilifeform: 168000 got eaten happily

asciilifeform: disk is a brand-new and very spiffy half TB samsung 'evo' sdd

asciilifeform: i've ruled out oom, also

asciilifeform: but in so far as i can see, no satisfactory explanation

asciilifeform: and there's a history of trb nodes of various types perma-wedging there

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: !#s 168000

asciilifeform did go back and verify that in fact it has the locks patch and is indeed mod6's release + phfpatch -- rather than asciilifeform's mistake

asciilifeform: this thing behaves precisely like trb sans locks patch, i think

asciilifeform: i dun think it is anything to do with that tx per se -- it is the drop that overflowed the barrel in pre-dblockspatch trb

asciilifeform: 2c2314f353 .

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694350 << the magic moment that repeats 4evah ☝︎

asciilifeform: again an' again

asciilifeform: this specimen tries to verify and fails, then consequently unwinds the reorg back

asciilifeform: wouldn't result in failed sigverify

asciilifeform: ( which i thought was mircea_popescu's implication earlier )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly i oughta elaborate. sig verify is a blocking process, it doesn't timeoutfail

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo et al : to be very specific, the wedged box is running a press of mod6's 0.5.4-release, with the only change being phf's bsd patch linked yesterday. ☟︎

asciilifeform: trinque: aha!

asciilifeform: because otherwise it is wtf martian ???.

asciilifeform: i still gonna saw open the elf & see if inside is what's expected

asciilifeform: dun matter worth a lick what system has

asciilifeform: it's a stator build

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: stator's !!

asciilifeform: !~later tell mircea_popescu http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/aOYWq/?raw=true

asciilifeform: ( the debuglog, specifically )

asciilifeform: anyway if you actually read the log, would see sig verify failing repeatedly. ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694445 << except that this node beat the living shit out of dulap previous 2 yrs, speedwise, because ssd. ☝︎

asciilifeform bbl.

asciilifeform: i'ma go to bed because if i keep at this, will pop a blood vessel somewhere.

asciilifeform: *while this

asciilifeform: until this 'not' remains, trb ain't a program, it's a voodoo incantation.

asciilifeform: turns out -- not.
