asciilifeform: 'On June 9, the telecoms got an Anton Piller order, a civil search warrant that gives a plaintiff access to a defendant's home, without notice, to search for and seize relevant evidence before it can be destroyed. A Federal Court judge would later declare the Anton Piller order in this case "unlawful," but that was weeks after a group of men arrived at Lackman's door at 8 a.m. on June 12. Lackman says the group included a bailiff, t

asciilifeform: complete with schneier in there.

asciilifeform: l!!

asciilifeform: 'An activist group, which claims Coinbase's decision is akin to a brokerage withholding new shares from its investors, warns it will commence a class action suit after August 15 if the company doesn't release the Bitcoin Cash. Meanwhile, an attorney named Priyanka Ghosh-Murthy told Fortune she intends to file a complaint—invoking negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment—in Florida by the end of the week.' << lo

asciilifeform: about 12GB worth.

asciilifeform: largely circa 2011.

asciilifeform: but not necessarily the best selection, nor oldest vintages.

asciilifeform: mod6: i'm sitting on a massive stash of vintage packages

asciilifeform: trinque: potentially very useful

asciilifeform: one dies, another takes his place.

asciilifeform: scatha (~markus@p508D264D.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined #trilema << it is rather remarkable imho how there ALWAYS has to be a connectolade-spamming dipshit at any given time

asciilifeform: !~later tell cazalla http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-02#1692480 << http://nosuchlabs.com/hardware.html is new since iirc last you were here. ☝︎

asciilifeform: in which case i'll help him.

asciilifeform: !~later tell mod6 http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-02#1692547 << i'll do it. unless danielpbarron REALLY yearns to ☝︎

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/Ybp6T << apparently... gavin also still inbiznis.

asciilifeform back in biznis

asciilifeform: ACHTUNG S.NSA CUSTOMERS! all outstanding FUCKGOATS orders shipped.

asciilifeform: so gave a solid 2y.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-07-16#1203271 << birth ☝︎

asciilifeform: it's a wear part.

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: RIP zoolag ( until replacement comes... )

asciilifeform: in other noose!, a samsung ssd lasts about 2y in a high-traffic trb node.

asciilifeform: bad enough when leakage is out on the sidewalk.

asciilifeform: out, out, it seeps.

asciilifeform: terrible thing

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-02#1692429 << ever lived in a house with a leaking reddit pipe ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: iirc they had ~this prior to the chix captains thing

asciilifeform: and why does a ship even need urinals ? piss over the rail.

asciilifeform: why not do that.

asciilifeform: y'know, pissing in pants where you stand takes even LESS space

asciilifeform: ahahahahayes

asciilifeform: lollamatic

asciilifeform: ( see thread re latter subj from last march )

asciilifeform: just as you won't for 'let's rsa'

asciilifeform: but you won't get tenure for 'let's ada'

asciilifeform: poor buggers, stuck 'invent typesafe optimizing compiler' when ada already existed in 1982

asciilifeform: lol i had nfi d00d still in biznis

asciilifeform: most particularly you don't need writable storage. i'ma make a demo box with 'p' and no nonvolatiles.

asciilifeform: but in point of fact, no joak, you dun need ANY moar of an os than ^ above, to do usefulwork.

asciilifeform: ( maybe phf remembers ! cs 412 at umd )

asciilifeform: in fact i had similar (nao lost , sadly, to disk rot ) item from uni hw

asciilifeform: lol it's not exactly high tech

asciilifeform: then going right back.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: not over yet. i'm on a short vacation from vacation

asciilifeform: neato

asciilifeform: what's new in mod6dom

asciilifeform: heya mod6

asciilifeform: ( nfi why went down, linux is 'helpful' as always )

asciilifeform: in other noose, zoolag is back in service

asciilifeform: ~useless in any other case

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: strictly for dev work

asciilifeform: ( bonus, gives ooda loop of 5sec or so )

asciilifeform: it was how i sweated out the pogorotor thing

asciilifeform: doesn't touch the rom

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: use my boot-on-tftp recipe

asciilifeform: ( may have to change the constant in line 3 . )

asciilifeform: worx everywhere from 386 to whatever's on your desk.

asciilifeform: all you need is a putbyteuart and getbyteuart

asciilifeform: it is portable to micros

asciilifeform: being present at all

asciilifeform: or kernel

asciilifeform: ffa for instance does NOT rely on an os

asciilifeform: i am counting whole shebang

asciilifeform: if somebody does -- plz write in.

asciilifeform: ( 100 ~readable~ , clear ln )

asciilifeform: i dunno how to fit a bignumtron in 100

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: depends in what. but not so long.

asciilifeform: ( the question of whether it actually takes the mb -- will be settled when i get around to implementing )

asciilifeform: and i will note, if a cipher system REQUIRES a MB of source, it is not a cipher system but an overcomplicated practical joke

asciilifeform: aaha.

asciilifeform: currently i also suspect that the whole ecc 'fashion' was instituted specifically to prevent a ffa-style treatment.

asciilifeform: ( this is definitionally so if thing is sufficiently complex + ill-specified. )

asciilifeform: instafork.

asciilifeform: currently i strongly suspect that it is possible to produce a technically valid ecdsa sig that will choke 1 particular ecctron but NOT another particular one.

asciilifeform: somebody!1111

asciilifeform: well, say somebody sat down an'... wrote one

asciilifeform: to this day

asciilifeform: interestingly there does not, by all indications, exist anywhere anything like a sane implementation of ecdsa

asciilifeform: ( both openssl turd and the moar recent prb-proprietary one )

asciilifeform: which are a fairly heavy chunk of voodoo, i've been slowly chewing through.

asciilifeform: i suspect that the real forkgold is in the ecc routines.

asciilifeform: it can be wedged apart with a relatively compact crowbar.

asciilifeform: but that mircea_popescu was actually right in 'prb != bitcoin' strictly.

asciilifeform: i didn't say it was a bigger woop.

asciilifeform: this was the latest prb handily indexed by jurov . possibly different logic in moar recents.
