mod6: The one
that mircea_popescu rented for douchebag doesn't expire until
the 19th iirc. I'll update you on
that one. Unless mircea_popescu says
to nuke it ahead of
time.
BingoBoingo: mod6:
There's
the douchebag one as well. I am waiting on alf
to give
the order before I
touch either of
them.
mod6: But anyway, let me know if you need
to know which one is his --
there are notes in
the message I sent around couple days ago.
mod6: Well, it is august, UTC
time. Maybe wait until
tomorrow in case he changes his mind.
mod6: BingoBoingo: You may, at your earliest convenience wipe
the Rockchip
that mats was renting.
mircea_popescu: possibly firmware of one could be rewritten, liberating
the item and saving you a coin
BingoBoingo: Will have it ready <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, do you know whether smg main server has
the black snake cables or what? << It does.
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, do you need me
to shut down
the box? << I will if you want me
to pull it
to swap cables.
diana_coman: it ~always hung before finishing
the 11 runs even
diana_coman: asciilifeform,
that's literally what ended up as main
test because convenient: it attempts
to generate 11 "dirty float" random numbers using 4 random octets from fg; first number
there is number of repetitions; second number chooses what
test
to run (if you run only ./tests 11 without 2nd number it will print
the list of what it knows
to do)
a111: Logged on 2018-07-31 15:49 diana_coman: asciilifeform, yes, get eucrypt and run
the
tests for smg_rsa, something like ./tests 11 11 (i.e. 11
times
test no 11)
diana_coman: asciilifeform, on smg main server I ran only dd although I never had any problems nor wobbles nor anything with
the fgs
there
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, do you need me
to shut down
the box?
diana_coman: also,
the fact
that dd *also* hangs at
time
there is a big red flag
diana_coman: sadly I don't know of any replacement
to suggest, no
diana_coman: and other
than
the weird fact
that read simply blocks randomly, I don't know
diana_coman: a bit of reading on
this famous pl2303 does suggest all sorts of "hanging" issues but I haven't found anything clearly applicable so far
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I doubt it's
the cables really but can't hurt
to rule
that out
diana_coman: right, I'm anyway currently in need of a break and at a loss otherwise on
this; so BingoBoingo at your leisure, please change
the cables and leave only one FG plugged in for now; I'll get some sleep in first, so
there's no hurry - anytime within next 10 hours works fine
a111: Logged on 2018-07-31 19:57 diana_coman: asciilifeform,
that
tip says problems handling more
than 2 but I have...2?
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, do you know whether smg main server has
the black snake cables or what?
diana_coman: hard
to say if
that is more
than a glitch or not
though
diana_coman: well, doing stty -F /dev/ttyUSB1 first so far (2
times, so machine rebooted in between...) at least had dd going well
diana_coman: hm, before switching cables I can switch order of init and see if
there's any difference anyway
a111: Logged on 2018-07-12 14:06 BingoBoingo: On
this box one of
the FG cables is
the blue guy
that came with my personal FG,
the other is
the new style black snake
diana_coman: as it is, it will have
to wait until
tomorrow anyway as atm I'm a bit at a loss wtf
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, wait a bit, at least
to know if
there is something else
to
try if you go
there
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, how long would it
take
to get
there and unplug one of
the FG
to have a
test with only one? << I could go
there and be back witing an hour
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, how long would it
take
to get
there and unplug one of
the FG
to have a
test with only one?
diana_coman: basically as
the "wobble" initially reported: if only one fg is set,
then first read via dd hangs just
the same
diana_coman: at any rate, updates so far are relatively few: can't reproduce it on different machine (though I still have a few
to
test...); it IS easily reproduced even with dd on smg
test server
diana_coman: asciilifeform,
that
tip says problems handling more
than 2 but I have...2?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: The bigger wtf is what did
they need a police force for? Place is clearly sized for a part
time constable or
two.
diana_coman: at
that
time I did not yet have
the boot-time sh init
though; I suppose I can add
this
to
test sheet
diana_coman: if anything, it would suggest
that even dd can choke
there
a111: Logged on 2018-07-12 13:49 diana_coman: asciilifeform, BingoBoingo access
to box & config confirmed; FG on
ttysUSB0 had a wobble at first and I don't understand why: I ran
the stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 raw -echo -echoe -echok and
then
tried dd iflag=fullblock if=/dev/ttyUSB0 | hexdump -C but nothing came up;
then I ran
the stty on usb1 as well and
tried again and it...worked; any idea wtf was
that at first?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-27 15:03 mircea_popescu: "if i make it what i
think it should be it crashes"
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ahaha dadatroll; but now I see why it didn't even ring a bell at all as I probably missed
the comments section
there/didn't follow it
mircea_popescu: that's more of an absence, see. generally psychiatrists don't attempt
to work with what
the diseased mind fails
to produce, but instead focus on
the positive malfunctions,
the productive sort. "tell me more about
the little gremlins"
mircea_popescu: in fact,
the concept of "zombie" is perhaps
the most indicated ear of stupid
to shake
the whole echafaudage by.
mircea_popescu: zombie is not just (as an inexistent, imaginary "manual" mentally reconstructed from
the pile of gunk
they published purports
to hint) an entry in
the
table
to permit
the caller
to clean up correctly. it is ALL SORTS of
things, and generally of
the getting in
the way kind.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-31 16:15 asciilifeform: unix i/o is retarded, if blocking read blocks, it gives you a zombie process , and
the next process you start
that
tried
to read same
tty, will also become zombie
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> basically if I don't manage
to reproduce it on any other machine, it would seem it's potentially
to do with
that specific system << Let me know if you want a pair of hands.
mircea_popescu: now i'm stuck re-reading all
that... and esthlos
thinks he has fucking problems. wait until you learn romanian, buster.
mircea_popescu: (the above, for
the rotaku club, is a pinnacle of intertextual metatextuality
the likes french culture barely ever managed, and anglonline never did.)
phf: diana_coman: we will
take credit for it (also we'll
take retroactive credit for
the frequent mysterious reboots of asciilifeform's machines)
mircea_popescu: diana_coman do you recall
that lulz btw ? "nu-i ardelean, n-are rabdare adevarata, ii emulata-n soft"
diana_coman: I honestly
thought
that was
the main part of phf's joke
there :
the "control without dominate" in
the spirit of modern
times
phf: henceforth any attempts
to expose
the activities of
the secret society of illuminated fraudsters shall be denounced as a ravings of delusional paranoids
phf: mircea_popescu:
to be honest i didn't read into it past
the roleplaying humor, but upon immediate reflection, your objection makes equally obvious sense
