asciilifeform: regardless of how built.

asciilifeform: on any reasonable linux.

asciilifeform: is that it will run, in principle,

asciilifeform: whole point of a static bin

asciilifeform: ( but presumably lobbes is trying for a musltronic linux -- probably oughta ask trinque , iirc he has one going )

asciilifeform: in mod6's buildtron, the kernel isn't even used.

asciilifeform: ( this was, if anyone recalls, the whole reason i brought in the buildroot thing )

asciilifeform: otherwise no dice.

asciilifeform: but you gotta make sure to have musltronic gcc.

asciilifeform: nope

asciilifeform: ( it fails to link statically )

asciilifeform: glibc is also not supported for trb.

asciilifeform: for trb, that is.

asciilifeform: it's missing a bunch of essentials.

asciilifeform: lobbes: uclibc definitely won't work.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty great scenery

asciilifeform: 'i is for islam..'

asciilifeform: 'c is for clit...'

asciilifeform: would be lulzy to make a subtle parody of this masterpiece, and sneak into bookstores, with forged barcode.

asciilifeform: bought for lulz?

asciilifeform: where'dya get this

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform: 'c is for co-op, cooperating cultures, creative counter to corporate vultures.'

asciilifeform: why am i reading this

asciilifeform: ew

asciilifeform: in other lulz, 0day in : minicom. >> https://archive.is/fIsCp

asciilifeform: neato, ty for the sweat mod6

asciilifeform: ( from my earlier findings . )

asciilifeform: not a big deal, read+write ~= total ProcessBlock time

asciilifeform: 2) db write wait time (vertical) -- block # (horiz.)

asciilifeform: 1) total ProcessBlock time (vertical) -- block # (horiz.)

asciilifeform: so the two curves would be:

asciilifeform: ( the avg is not very useful, it includes megatonne of 0/handful-tx blocks from early years)

asciilifeform: plot the write times plox ?

asciilifeform: anyway looks like you don't have this

asciilifeform: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/attachments/20170226/asciilifeform_blackhole_reads.vpatch <<

asciilifeform: that was in the last patch

asciilifeform: where's the db read wait ?

asciilifeform: y'know, when trb sits like idiot and waits for bdb to disk i/o.

asciilifeform: mod6: the read/write times

asciilifeform: mod6: where's the per-block db stall time ? or still perling it out from debug.log?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-18#1645414 << systemwide free mem is a 100% worthless stat on linux box, if correctly working box -- it'll be ~0 -- disk cache ☝︎

asciilifeform: me -- ~none. but i also didn't use the stinkpad that year.

asciilifeform: (even cpu -- removable)

asciilifeform: no soldered-down ram, fwiw.

asciilifeform: still not a real comp, but you can't fit a real comp in airplane tray

asciilifeform: the big one was decent (w540)

asciilifeform: ain't cheap, either. was there an up-side?

asciilifeform: trinque: is that one of those boxes with soldered-down ram ?

asciilifeform was a little surprised to learn that it was yet alive

asciilifeform: ( https://archive.is/5L7Ov/image gets rid of the js idiocy )

asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://archive.is/5L7Ov >> BingoBoingo , qntra ?

asciilifeform: yeah, i'ma bbl.

asciilifeform: ^ all but the last is mostly wasted on trb

asciilifeform: this was on a what?

asciilifeform: lessee the numberz!

asciilifeform: congrats mod6

asciilifeform: the sad thing is, dh was mostly used historically to test prng. so the 'waste' was, i picture, not seen as problem.

asciilifeform: that would be pretty neat.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i quite agree

asciilifeform: it'd be easy to patch around. but i wanted to begin with classical dh.

asciilifeform: mod6: i still have 0 idea why author did this.

asciilifeform: (with urandom or whatever else is in your box conveniently)

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: try it yourself

asciilifeform: dh also does a very, imho, questionable thing, of throwing away most of the input (yes) on account of insisting on using new segment of the input for each test

asciilifeform: ( i am speaking here strictly of rngs which ~do~ eventually converge -- as defined by 100% 'pass' -- at some realistically attainable sample size. )

asciilifeform: which i find quite odd.

asciilifeform: and, apparently, the same tests weaken/fail in proportion to rewinds, regardless of whose rng you used, or even prng.

asciilifeform: regardless of where you got'em

asciilifeform: mod6: my point was, small samples look like shit on dh, because 1000s of 'rewind'

asciilifeform: looks like it was ben_vulpes

asciilifeform: !#s http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/ehdip/?raw=true

asciilifeform: http://archive.li/SnwEH << recall these ? << illustration of the rewind thing.

asciilifeform: ~6 years.

asciilifeform: now at the rate dh eats bytes, a fully rewind-free test of, e.g., FG would take...

asciilifeform: http://qubit.lncc.br/trng << this d00d must have been very frustrated. i wonder if he understood the above.

asciilifeform: prng, e.g., aes(aes(...(0))) , or urandom, etc. give uniform distrib. and quickly ideal montecarlo for 'pi', etc. but , interestingly, same sort of dieharder out as FG, in that the level of 'happy' is directly proportional to the size of the collected blob, or rather, inversely proportional to # of the idiot rewinds.

asciilifeform: mod6: i have 3.31.1 also.

asciilifeform: hanbot around?

asciilifeform: mod6: nice.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu wouldja try and get him in here ? pretty pleez?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dieharder's ~tests~ loop.

asciilifeform: if using hub -- be sure to use powered hub.

asciilifeform: (usb hub ? direct plug into pc ?)

asciilifeform: incidentally how did you power yours ?

asciilifeform: neato mod6 .

asciilifeform: in yet-other lulz, the tardano makers don't sleep, http://ubld.it/products/truerngpro << New! Improved! with two... soldered-down shields. and oscillating voltage booster right on the pcb.

asciilifeform: it probably explains oddities like http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-16#1644367 . ☝︎

asciilifeform: tbh, imho it is quite ridiculous to loop the input.

asciilifeform: (ask dieharder author why, not me)

asciilifeform: incidentally the moar, the merrier, many of the tests still loop at 1G.

asciilifeform: also neato

asciilifeform: aaah neato.

asciilifeform: eatblock time plot ?

asciilifeform: mod6: remind me plz what this was
