asciilifeform: or was that some local variant.

asciilifeform: i thought this was in jp

asciilifeform: about same amt of shit as mircea_popescu gives about the fate of newly-ejected condom, aha

asciilifeform: afaik chinese sit and 'wait for the corpse to float by' just like 1000yrs ago.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah i thought this was still about the reality winner lulz

asciilifeform: time now for the ex-latrinecleaners

asciilifeform: i can only guess, that the pronounceable, brahmin folk, have run out

asciilifeform: they're getting less and less pronouncable. tejpal s. chawla -- srsly.

asciilifeform: y'know, the place where they have the magical shit river you drink 'to health' from.

asciilifeform: therapy.”'

asciilifeform: https://archive.li/x3A3f << subj: >> '...his practice of drinking a glass of his own urine every day, and as veteran journalist M.V.Kamath, reporting for ToI, noted rather despairingly, the problem wasn’t just that Desai did this, but he was very eager to talk at length about it: “in a 15-minute appearance on a very popular Sunday TV show called ’60 Minutes’, Mr.Desai was seen taking practically half the time to commend urine

asciilifeform: ( speaking of which, hey Framedragger_ , how's it treating ya ? )

asciilifeform: observe, the ~saner~ end of the heathenpit comments are along the lines of 'yes there's no escape, i sit and drink'

asciilifeform: they've created this apparatus of 'pencildicks', and it will further the oddball rituals, or how else to justify existing.

asciilifeform: the pretense with arrested diplomat et al stretches thin even to idjit public; thus they'll take all of the techno-help they can get, is the idea.

asciilifeform: ( orig thread, http://btcbase.org/log/2014-10-19#883658 ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-10-17#1301302 << see also thread. ☝︎

asciilifeform: just like the credit card 'security' exists so banks can drop the bill for fraudulent mercedes onto the hapless card luser.

asciilifeform: so it is only 'solution' in the sense of satisfying the 'childporn judge'.

asciilifeform: it's still 'admin', lol, just more along the vein of 'adminMAGICNSANOBUSSTRING'

asciilifeform: i suppose we will revisit this when we find the magic overflow etc.

asciilifeform: (given as enemy will immediately patch when they get hold of the boojum, as crapple does)

asciilifeform: while this thread is alive -- there remains the (currently, hypothetical) puzzler of what-do when we find the jailbreak. i expect, buy N boxes, and cure'em ?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-10#1822079 << this is imho the lulziest case yet on record : google is pissing in their mouths, entirely overtly, and the universal response is 'mm, tasty, lemonade' ☝︎

asciilifeform: as soon as it gets shat out, the links to the earlier heathenpit threads, will reroute to it -- just like in earlier phuctor case

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-10#1822087 << see also. i'd be surprised if there isn't already a boeck-style 'rebuttal' (perhaps from herr boeck himself) in the works. ☝︎

asciilifeform: invitation to read the src -- already 'downvoted' into oblivion, unsurprisingly.

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in choice redditisms : 'I used to work as a security researcher - if I thought this subject was interesting I'd have to look for another source talking about the same thing because there's no way in hell it'd be acceptable to reference this level of unprofessionalism in a conference or to my superiors.'

asciilifeform: and this will work until they move the whole fw orchestra into cr50. which is on the planned 'feature' list already for next rev.

asciilifeform: plebe wants to checksum the ec fw ? gotta solder a dozen probes under microscope.

asciilifeform: another interesting tidbit : cr50 vendor fw will conveniently checksum the ec and ap(bootloader) fw. BUT not without goldenkey. wouldn't want terrorists testing for fw modification, see.

asciilifeform: and prolly they will sit in front of same judge who earlier nodded to 'tor devs would never', etc. ☟︎

asciilifeform: it is probably impossible to educate the willingly thick, however, who ~actually~ see a box with NOBUS master keys as 'moar secure than with no keys'. these, will only wake up when they're sitting in kangaroo court , and confessing to 'child porn'

asciilifeform: prolly at some point i gotta write a 'NOBUS likbez' re the fundamental motivations ( they are not difficult to discern , but apparently entirely opaque to the herd , even when you exclude the willingly blind )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-10#1822099 << not sure i grasp this. even wintel merrily sold un-fritzed boxen for many years, until 2nd bush-II term or so. ☝︎

asciilifeform: the 'go and cut pins' thing will ~work for certain purposes, but in the very near term it will become entirely unproductive -- they are moving the whole orchestra into single chip. ( e.g. crapple is ~already there. )

asciilifeform: you can't cut ~all~ of them, however, the 'negotiation' (CC1/CC2) pins are used by the mains bricks

asciilifeform: esthlos: theoretically, under microscope

asciilifeform: ( this is the case in, e.g., all new crapple boxen )

asciilifeform: while we're on the subj, i find it interesting how both google and intel ( and by extension, all new mb makers ) finessed the problem of 'terrorists will epoxy usb ports closed' -- nao usg can get 'airport quickie' root through a hole that you cannot cement, because the box charges ~only~ from it

asciilifeform: ( until i got'em trimmed in, 'suzy' worked 'every other time' )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-10#1822031 << phf keep in mind that the resistors gotta be, iirc, accurate within 5%. hence why i used trimpots. ☝︎

asciilifeform: esthlos: there ain't, and likely won't be

asciilifeform: esthlos: in re the b00kz -- i have okasaki, and must note, he is a mathematically interesting read, but 100% useless in actual practice, unless you use 'lazy-evaluated' prog langs

asciilifeform: esthlos: if you must -- link to archived copies, which at least won't change from under you.

asciilifeform: and if i had a bitcent for every 'use this lappy we carved from old refrigerator panels and raspberry pi..' etc

asciilifeform lols over the various crapola mail, 'purism!', 'cured intel really!', etc
