cnomad: so if you question my identity i'll give you the non hashed text
asciilifeform: cnomad: there is a www front-end for the wot; this , for example : http://wot.deedbot.org/17215D118B7239507FAFED98B98228A001ABFFC7.html is me.
asciilifeform: ( how am i to know whom to pay ? and if the magic answer is sent plaintext, it will land in the fleanode nsa trap and immediately get shared with the enemy. )
asciilifeform: so, for example, i am considering declaring a btc bounty for cr50 break. but it will only be available to folks in the wot, for the very obvious reason .
diana_coman: cnomad, precisely; just... it needs a recipient to accumulate in; basically how is anyone to say it's same *you* next time you join?
asciilifeform: nor will anyone attempt to communicate in confidence with you, without gpg pubkey.
asciilifeform: until you are in the wot, 'you' do not exist, it is not difficult to hijack a fleanode nick.
asciilifeform: it won't, if you ain't in the wot.
diana_coman: cnomad, do you specifically want to *not* develop a reputation here ?
asciilifeform: you do not have to use your meatspace name, or anything of the kind. simply need gpg key, one that you won't lose.
asciilifeform: however, if you wish to work with the people here ( and this is where the serious coin lives ) you will want to get in the deedbot wot.
asciilifeform: then you will probably be satisfied with reading the log. typically it takes 6month of reading, to grasp what's going on.
cnomad: i don't want to develop reputation, just wanna say hi and observe
asciilifeform: cnomad: then i will rate you, and you will be able to speak when there is no one to manually give you voice.
asciilifeform: so yes, generally you won't hear what they do not want you to hear, if google search if your main source.
asciilifeform: cnomad: you will probably not be surprised to hear that google doctors its search results.
cnomad: I knew about it before, and when I did it was curious noone wrote about it then
asciilifeform: ha i use tl866 right here
cnomad: currently working on liberating a tl866a programmer, but mostly i do RE and pwning for various security chips
asciilifeform: are you interested in / familiar with cr50 in particular ? or heard of it for 1st time from the article
asciilifeform: cnomad: meanwhile, tell us a bit about yourself. reverse engineer ?
asciilifeform: http://thebitcoin.foundation/declaration.txt probably closest thing.
asciilifeform: ( or rather, the mistaken notion that they are separable, is promulgated by the great satan. )
asciilifeform: matters technical and political are not in reality separable. ☟︎
cnomad: is this a technical channel or a political or...? ☟︎
asciilifeform: cnomad: consider reading the chan subj line
cnomad: I don;t have any _specific_ qs at the moment, but i do some IC and firmware RE. I don't even know what this channel is about before joining
asciilifeform: cnomad: so what is it you're curious about then
cnomad: thanks, no qs at the moment
asciilifeform: cnomad: please read the logs -- http://btcbase.org/log/ -- and make use of the search, before asking q
asciilifeform: cnomad: what brings you to #trilema ?
asciilifeform considers idea of proclaiming a 1 btc prize for a working break of cr50 . any l1 folk interested in contributing to the prize chest , and/or overseeing the refereeing ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( imho would be interesting to try hard xray, but currently i dun have with what. )
mircea_popescu: it's nikki on a trip.
ave1: asciilifeform, no I did not get the board, it seems to me a standard pcie x4 slot and cards for these can be easily had locally
asciilifeform: ave1: did you get the sata peripheral also ?
asciilifeform: ave1: this board is potentially good candidate for mircea_popescu-style 'laptop'
asciilifeform: ave1: the pci slot in 'pro' is nifty
ave1: aha, yes I did not try to order the 4g version (also the 2g version is twice as expensive on the german amazon)
asciilifeform: i was never able to locate the 4g ver of the 3328
ave1: the libre computer board is in the pizarro rk? it seems to be 80$ for 4G. This is the same price, for the rockpro64.
asciilifeform: iirc there's another 3399 board, 'firefly'
ave1: as an aside, I've been readin the google code for the cr50 but I also did not find any obvious holes so far
ave1: yes, it's the same chip as in the notebook, also cost more (and will be even more with the european import tax added)
asciilifeform: ave1: this is a kind of 'plus' version of the pizarro rk, yes
ave1: I ordered this one, https://www.pine64.org/?product=rockpro64-4gb-single-board-computer, today. It supports a pcie 4 lane card, so I will try to use it for a desktop replacement.
asciilifeform: not so great for air travel tho.
asciilifeform: you can still get these, apparently.
mircea_popescu: lol. wtf does it come with, the powerplant ?
mircea_popescu: and moreover, i think it is important to MAKE THIS A DIFFERENTIATION POINT.
asciilifeform: but in this particular case had to go in pay-per-kg launcher
asciilifeform: right, and most of the time asciilifeform goes in cars and pack animals also
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there is such a thing as people with cars and pack animals.
mircea_popescu: something like the ipad retina, but in 45/35 rather than bs 15 x 12 cm they got.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: display can be sourced, i actually have several 'naked' display here for experiments. the bulk of the headache is the kbd , chassis, power. any way you cut it, chassis becomes a multi-kg monster 'luggable'
mircea_popescu: heck, with modern tech you can prolly go >1mn ppi^2.
asciilifeform: the old ratty boeing 757s lacked mains plugs too
mircea_popescu: Display size: 17.6" × 13.2" = 232.32in² (44.7cm × 33.53cm = 1498.84cm²) at 79.55 PPI, 0.3193mm dot pitch, 6327 PPI² << get a sxga+ in there.
asciilifeform: pretty much whole trip asciilifeform was thinking 'mmm, if only had c101pa...'
asciilifeform: and if i had lost it, would be a bitch to replace
asciilifeform had some headaches in BingoBoingostan with x60 lappy (had to bring ~something~ to use for setup) , had to connect from a few places that had no mains, and battery was limiting factor. and x60 is heavy, occupied valuable launch capsule mass )
mircea_popescu: heck, some actuallty even have gauge on themselves. i've seen this. it's not expensive or hard to make.
mircea_popescu is reminded of the suitcases joke
asciilifeform: sorta why i dislike them
mircea_popescu: have a fucking mechanical gauge, steampunk all the way
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, that does NOT need to be part of the computer.
asciilifeform: and the board has a linear reg, wastes current.
mircea_popescu: but the last thing anyone fucking wants is an even smaller laptop.
asciilifeform: expense is not the issue, but rather the 'how much battery do i have' indicator.
asciilifeform: it is theoretically possible to turn rk3328-roc-cc ( as in pizarro pilot plant ) into a portable of a kind. one can get miniature hdmi lcd, etc. but there is no convenient way to handle power; it expects 5v, and has no provisions for interrogating battery level, one would have to build something , rather gnarly.
asciilifeform: given as rk has no idea which dram a given board maker will want to use, they made the timings settable
asciilifeform: asciilifeform has not yet tested.
asciilifeform: ( seems like recent coreboot even abolishes the orig vendor's dram init turd )
asciilifeform: what can i say, i like to work out of doors
mircea_popescu: i mean, it's the same thing, but at least mine got tits.
mircea_popescu: i think i like mine better.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the cr50 swine pits, https://archive.li/fftWm
a111: Logged on 2018-06-12 14:45 phf: it's good. i went up to new paltz (upstate new york) for rock climbing and to see an old friend.
asciilifeform: fwiw the board runs from 20 to 70 bux, on the market
asciilifeform: could prolly be subcontracted out to chinese.
mircea_popescu: i suppose you just buy a live-in slavegirl to do the job eventually.
asciilifeform: incl. unscrewing the case.
mircea_popescu: eh, it's not clear it's worth soldering anything to begin with
asciilifeform: ( if not, still possible, but will cost much, much more , possibly making the whole project -ev )
asciilifeform: in re cr50 -- if we find which fpga was the basis, it may be possible to craft pad-for-pad replacement for the fritz.
mircea_popescu: oh, also, lest i forget : see alf ? you just don't do the upping correctly, is all.
mircea_popescu: goes right with the "about the size of a... scorpion, with a dangly apendage behind, looking like a ... scorpion tail" girl saw yest... FLYING.
mircea_popescu: turns out to have been... A FUCKING MOTH. nectar eating night guy.
mircea_popescu: and in other "only in this country" lulz, i see a dark halfinch long form squrrying under the bottle washer behind the kitchen skin tap. so i'm all, you know if you've ever lived in new york, or buenos aires, or generally a large town, "fuck you, you little bitch" kill! kill! kill! mode.
mircea_popescu: alright. see the topic / read the logs / register a rsa key etc.
loper_os_cr50: A curious person who is interested in owning my own hardware instead of it pwning me. Found the channel through http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2433
mircea_popescu: meamwhile in teh sexuate chambers, https://78.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_man7wlGkMS1rgrl09o1_1280.jpg
mircea_popescu: THEN they "moved on to unity". because "it's slicker visually".
mircea_popescu: these idiots (project something or the other, i forget) spent ten years to reach this pinnacle ; and the whole time wondering why their ~server~ can't hold more than five or so people connected.
asciilifeform: the only reason it did not spread even farther outside of microshit (yes, the epicenter, despite not being originator) is that cpp projects tend to collapse under own weight too quickly to hit market
asciilifeform: cpp specifically attracts the worst of the worst, in re complexity cancer, this was obvious long enuff ago that naggum noted it
mircea_popescu: the modern equivalent of those medievally fixed timepieces, compensated, recompensated and re-recompensated until the count of moving parts exceeded the "engineer's" capacity to count.
mircea_popescu: in any case it's very much "this is what foss is", a token and an icon.
mircea_popescu: i have half a mind to somehow extract it for display
mircea_popescu: also, pfalz is not per se an area in germany ; it's a bunch of areas. originally [holders of] palatine lands elected the emperor, so it's really akin to saying portland-tmsr and seattle-tmsr. tmsr isn't a plage, it's a designation.
