lobbes: http://blog.lobbesblog.com/2018/07/auctionbot-eta-and-status-report/#selection-71.0-71.11 << update: I have completed a successful test run of an external .py script communicating on IRC via logbot and the listen/notify mechanisms of postgres. Best part is that I've got a solid foundation for bot command handling as a result of the testing. Blog post soon on the details of playing 'ping-pong' with logbot and postgres as the paddle
lobbes did some test browsing and can confirm: it is blazingly fast on my end

lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: Sent 41 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plox to move the usb drive into RK 'C' and power up, but ping me when setting out to dc, i want to test it before you go back
asciilifeform: !Q later tell BingoBoingo plox to move the usb drive into RK 'C' and power up, but ping me when setting out to dc, i want to test it before you go back
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-07#1840229 <-- I'd very much like to give the rss bot prototype a shot at this, if possible. the bot is not battle ready, but this would be an opportunity to stress test the basic functionality. if you think it's worth it, give the sign and I'll have it join #asciilifeform ☝︎
asciilifeform: ave1: pleeez make a real genesis ? so i can test this ? thx
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, please plug back in the 2nd FG on smg test server; anytime in the next 10 hours is fine, I'll shutdown the machine now
mircea_popescu: lessee... what was the test ?
diana_coman: k, test server is for testing; will do
diana_coman: this was on the smg test machine
asciilifeform: dozen runs of diana_coman's test all work
asciilifeform: btw, diana_coman , mircea_popescu , there's visible sys log barf from pl2303 when operating diana_coman's test :
asciilifeform: eucrypt's test reliably hangs, however, ~every other run
asciilifeform: this box is running traditional gentoo, however, it more closely resembles primary s.mg machine than the test box
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, thanks! confirmed back on + 1 fg available; unfortunately the simple test from smg_rsa (./tests 11 11 ) still hangs
asciilifeform: ok , should suffice for test, i'ma report tomorrow .
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)
asciilifeform: diana_coman: is http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-31#1838330 an exact description of the test ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: i'ma test on dulap also, it has identical fg/cabling setup to primary s.mg box
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: 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: at that time I did not yet have the boot-time sh init though; I suppose I can add this to test sheet
asciilifeform: ( naturally the imbecile kernel doesn't actually test whether something is riding on the tty prior to opening, 'why would we' )
diana_coman: omfg resetting the test server each time
diana_coman: well, 1st test: changed to 2nd FG on musl-system; checked and it reads fine with dd from console; ran the tests of eucrypt , it read 4 and then it got stuck
asciilifeform: ( nobody's yet reported a wedged FG on the standard dd-powered test. )
asciilifeform: from my current reading of diana_coman's code, the only major diff b/w the official manual's test scenario, and diana_coman's, is the init thing.
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) ☟︎
mircea_popescu mashed kbd apparently when pressing yes, test.sh got saved as test.sht, system couldn't magically find script anymoar, 5 minute haphazard luls ensued.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-22 16:52 hanbot: ah, okay. i misread as gt test run.
asciilifeform: 'Eric Adelberger, one if the leaders of the group, “found Weber’s experiment to be completely unconvincing and realized that with a modest effort we could test his claim” (private communication).'
hanbot: ah, okay. i misread as gt test run. ☟︎
asciilifeform: imho ben's oughta be a toggle, for side-by-side test
mircea_popescu: pretty much no one part goes with any other part, it's like in that joke with the policemen intelligence test.
Mocky: last year doc referred me to specialist for one specific issue. specialist ordered 2 dozen labs, bone density scan, ultrasound, said come back in 2 weeks. came back, said looks all good but want another test. went to lab, blood draw chick whips out 7 vials for blood collection. I said, let me see what labs were ordered, was 4 dozen more!
asciilifeform: mats: ever do range test with subj ?
mircea_popescu: here included by reference, the "acid3 test" lulz etc. who even remembers 2007 anymoar.
mircea_popescu: afaik they were, even as far as the 10.x series ; but this i've never put to the cuntoo test.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-15#1834762 << when i get own cuntoo test machine up, will test postgres also ( phuctor is currently baked on postgres, though in principle it would also work on mysql etc., simply never yet tried ) ☝︎
brazilish: btw, I did my research about the evil of a virtual machine setup, but I'm just doing it to test a running node before having bare metal at my premises
asciilifeform: mid 300s is iirc where the packed-to-the-gunwales 'stress test'(tm)(r) blox begin.
asciilifeform: ( point being, it may very well be feasible to run a reliable infrastructural trb noad on mech hdd. certainly worth test. )
asciilifeform: ( afaik this is the first battlefield test of cuntoo. )
asciilifeform: i'd really rather not, tho, they are extremely labour-intensive to test, on acct of the very modest speed of entropy generation.
diana_coman: <asciilifeform> as i understand this will be the first field test outside of his bench. <- smg is an ice breaker of all sorts, what can I tell you
asciilifeform: as i understand this will be the first field test outside of his bench.
diana_coman: esthlos, the fix is literally one line + test of the issue
asciilifeform: trinque: currently massaging ch11 of ffa series, right after this will test-fire your opus
asciilifeform: the simplest (text i/o only) mips emul asciilifeform likes, is 'gxemul' , should suffice to test.
asciilifeform: if trinque has a pre-alpha cuntoo for us, by all means let's fire away, and test
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-06-20 16:30 mircea_popescu: which brings us to : ben_vulpes would pizarro be amenable to bring up the spare sometime so she makes it a full gnat musl thing, test whether we can move everything there, and either move it (so basically, moving servers) or else backing down (so basically i guess either renting both for a while or powerting back down the spare) ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno why ; cuz i said the idea is to ~test a musl process~ ; without hosing the machine currently running it.
asciilifeform: iirc i explained this in an earlier thread, but it is not possible to test selectively-musltronic e.g. mysql installed ~systemwide~ on a conventional glibc box
asciilifeform: diana_coman: as i understand there are exactly two variants : 1) waitloop on trinque to declare his item as ready for battlefield test 2) asciilifeform bakes an exact clone of existing s.mg gentoo ( really, dulap-iii's gentoo )
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831425 <-- to add to the list of weird behaviours: ada "get char" function doesn't eat newlines, so when typing a number alone, say: echo "42" | ./test_repl , nothing'll happen. user must add an explicit space after the number. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-07-02 21:25 mod6: spyked: hey! pretty neat-o adalisp here. I tried it out, was able to build. I did get one error in the test.scm, any thoughts? http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/wXcA6/?raw=true

phf: but i finally finished the cable, had time to test that it works, then left home for weekend and naturally forgot the cable. so running blind/not really getting any output
asciilifeform: i am not equipped to test the e.g. ppc routines; and ill-equipped to study'em and certify. and really if somebody wants'em badly, he oughta make use of v and make his branch.
asciilifeform: fwiw it's been in continuous test on zoolag since day1 ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757668 ) ; iirc several other folx also tested ( incl. 'side by side' nodez ) , see what they have ( ben_vulpes ? possibly mircea_popescu ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: nao this is imho hard to swallow ('submarine with screen door') and so currently i'm assuming that i simply missed something. will have to test, at any rate.
mod6: I did the others, and sendrawtransaction last year. Getting closer to a point where I can at least test and see where it stands.
mod6: Maybe that's ok to just get one FG up and running for the test environment? We're shipping addtional ones down there asap as well. They'll come separately from the SSDs though.
asciilifeform: mod6, mircea_popescu : it was my understanding that mircea_popescu & diana_coman wanted a test bed, and will eventually swap back to orig s.mg box; so not clear if the spare needs a full adult raid
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly you oughta test this experimentally, might be pleasantly surprised.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 12:45 asciilifeform: of the mentioned libs, zlib is known to me to work under musltronic build; libmysqlclient i had not occasion to test

asciilifeform: ( per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-03#1820427 test and after ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: out of curiosity, was the initial test of adatronic serv on rockchip ? how did it perform ?

a111: Logged on 2018-06-18 17:51 asciilifeform: in re cr50 -- if anybody's puzzled re why they put this level of effort into locking down what is essentially a less-popular, bulkier ipnoje -- it's a beta test for bleeding edge of their pc fritz ( the latter, reportedly already in service in google-built serverz in datacentres )

asciilifeform: euroreich is where they beta test new idiocy for usa, neh. e.g. taxes on blank cd-r, etc
asciilifeform: phf: aaaactually you can test the snake with the selfsame cbook, plug 1 end into usbc and other into the usb3 jack . in dev mode shell you will get the ttys , and can connect
phf: i don't think "can still buy and diddle of amazon in a month" is adequate test for "didn't leak the patch to google". but i don't think there's a procedure to test the goal in general (see absence of evidence above). perhaps you could restate the goal, but then whatever restatement i'm not sure it will be under the control of the participant. in fact as mircea_popescu pointed out, a restatement of this particular goal simply introduces a random element
asciilifeform: pretty simple test.
asciilifeform: phf: i'm still waiting to hear why the test algo i proposed, somehow resolves to 'untestable'
a111: Logged on 2018-06-12 23:39 asciilifeform: phf: you will test using your c101pa. and so you will need the debug snake, i will need to put the output of sysinfo , ver , brd , etc cr50 console commands into the statement.
asciilifeform: it is not difficult to mechanically test, either.
phf: asciilifeform: i see, i'm sorry, but i don't think i can properly be called a referee under these conditions. i can do independent testing for you though, i.e. test against current c101pa, and against one that i purchase at a time you indicate.
asciilifeform: phf: you will test using your c101pa. and so you will need the debug snake, i will need to put the output of sysinfo , ver , brd , etc cr50 console commands into the statement. ☟︎
asciilifeform: phf: do you have now with what to referee ? if i start the contest today, and entry is mailed in, can you test ?
asciilifeform: test jig was simply a variant of the stock fw, and it gets rewritten by the 'prod' fw prior to retail sale.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw i tracked down their factory test jig src. it was in their shithub, 'removed' in october 19
asciilifeform: well ideally he'd have a box to test $pill on
asciilifeform: the break would ideally be applicable via the http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2415 debug device; or, at worst, by attaching to the test pads on the http://www.loper-os.org/pub/c101pa/h1.jpg pcb.
asciilifeform: bahahaha i found the factory test mode pin
asciilifeform: as in , did physically test yet ? nope
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1823382 << i accidentally nuked the trackpad on my current test unit, so i got this!11 ☝︎
swiftgeek: libreboot thinkpad doesn't have it easy, neither BSDLs nor XOR test chains are described for our montevina targets
asciilifeform: i, for instance, would like to know which fpga was their starting point. and where its factory test pads are.
asciilifeform: swiftgeek: in re cr50, i am specifically interested in whatever factory test pads exist , with which the thing may be filled up with initial fw on manufacture
asciilifeform: swiftgeek: even simple xray would give you basic info, such as the number of balls in the bga, and possibly the routes of the test pads (it ain't a very crowded pcb)
