mircea_popescu: what was to recognise/promote ? guy was iirc a military officer with interests in mechanics.
decimation: well according to the history to which I have been listening, he was fustrated by his inability to advance beyond a junior officer
decimation: and part of the reason why he couldn't advance was because the ministry's reforms of the army tended to favor derpy nobles over young talent

decimation: asciilifeform: except cessna is more efficient at moving horizontally for distance
mircea_popescu: decimation yes but there's a reason they have bipropellers and quad propellers, rather than thousandprops

mircea_popescu: through a process roughly similar to pair generation (which is how we even know black stars exist : spontaneously generated pairs which sum to zero but which are separated by the event horizon result in direct radiation of the black body), it is reasonable to expect even a thermically dead universe to display localised disturbances, permanently.

freeborn: once ready, I am interested in working on a openbsd live image that uses the reference bitcoind
mod6: I have that part figured out, I even had mine running. but it was only a /dynamically/ linked build. The part I need to still sort out is a staically linked build.
freeborn: ok, subscribing to the list ;)
mod6: Hopefully I'll have something figured out for that soon. And yup, updates will go to the mailing list. :]
mod6: naw. its just a few additional include statements in a few of the source files iirc
nubbins`: as a wild guess, i'd say at least some of the changes in my osx instructions may apply -- most of them were just renaming syscalls and compiler flags
mod6: so it looks like i've got 1 small tweak to the makefile, and for some reason it doesnt seem to like "DB_LOG_AUTO_REMOVE" in db.cpp and there are a few include statements needed.
mod6: but all of that is easy, i just need to dig in to figure out how to get the proper configure args for openbsd -- iirc last time I tried, I tried to build a statically linked binary and then openssl compile failed. and I just got busy with the release so I havent gotten back to it yet.
mod6: There's a lot of stuff on our "to-do" list, but it'd be nice to knock out some OpenBSD support before we get into doing other heavy lifting.
mod6: i'll see if i can do some sorcery in the next few days and get it resolved.

Chillum: that is why I was thinking hardware assist qr

ascii_field: Chillum: barcode reader is simple enough conceptually that it doesn't need a cpu.

Chillum: buy hardware first, become target of major government second

Chillum: surely there must be something that can either clean the signal or noise it up so much you can't see anything else
ascii_field: you will have to actually understand the physics. and build it
Chillum: I am thinking the power systems for RVs, they run a lot and I think they can be charged from the mains
Chillum: yes, but at least some of them you can plug into utilities while parked
ascii_field: afaik they use traditional lead-acid batteries.
Chillum: if you only discharge a vehicle battry 20% before charging it they last a good amount of time

Chillum saves the url for later, I don't load pdfs on this computer
Chillum: a lot of readers can have their mode changed to accept other types of codes by giving it a special UPC
Chillum: so if it is set to UPC only you can still activate QR and inject long strings, which a lot of software does not expect
ascii_field: a traditional barcode can be decoded with your eyes, and some patience, to verify. try this with qr.
Chillum: yes, you can see that each number is the same pattern of lines
Chillum: qr is meant to be dense, not simple
ascii_field: the correct way to do 2-dimensional barcodes would be 1) traditional barcode laser pen, combined with 2) something like a small gramophone
Chillum: he shows how to turn on multi-code qrs, then mysql inject a computer attached to the reader
ascii_field: that way 1) reader is analogue, as the gods intended
Chillum: example of a reader being too smart
ascii_field: and 2) there is no 'picture in picture' idiocy possible
ascii_field: Chillum: that isn't the fault of the barcode gizmo, now, is it.
ascii_field: Chillum: may as well presume a winblows xp box, etc.
Chillum: the gizmo allowed special codes from the public manual to turn on features that were supposed to be off
Chillum: so it shares some of the fault
ascii_field: this is why i suggested an analogue driver of ps/2 kbd lines
Chillum: it went from fixed length only to variable length. The software was a fool to trust it though
ascii_field: it cannot behave as anything other than a keyboard. no matter how much it wants to.
Chillum: can it send keys like ctrl-alt-sysreq??
Chillum: a keyboard can do a lot of damage
ascii_field: Chillum: if your machine has magic keys, your problem
Chillum: I would use an arduino nano or something to decode and tx the data
ascii_field: i mentioned ps/2 kbd for specifically that reason
Chillum: you can use audit-able code
Chillum: you are using the ps/2 driver for your code
Chillum: what about the bios? if the device is reset can you send keystrokes to the bios?
ascii_field: Chillum: read the specificity principle discussion linked earlier
Chillum: at least you need an OS present before the rs232 is read, keyboards are read before the OS is loaded
ascii_field: Chillum: why on earth would you spin the gramophone attached to a computer with no os loaded ?
ascii_field: hostile user picks up the machine and takes it home.
Chillum: the device can have physical security with only a rs232 port within reach
ascii_field: he doesn't belong in any discussion of computer security.
Chillum: sorry, but a guy at the computer being hostile is certainly part of real word computer security
Chillum: could be an inside job, bad employee
ascii_field: IRRELEVANT to discussion of barcode machine.
Chillum: Well if I build something like this I won't hook the user input up to the port that controls the bios
Chillum: the keyboard port is basically the ultimate authority
ascii_field: Chillum: if your keyboard is 'ultimate authority' at all times, your system is misconfigured and you deserve to be owned.
Chillum: again, reboot, press F1, adjust bios
Chillum: I suppose you could put a bios password in, and disable all kernal triggers

Chillum: and find everywhere else modern OS's access the keyboard
Chillum: or you could use RS232 with a little microcontroller to read the upc
ascii_field: Chillum: if your box can be rebooted or otherwise interestingly reconfigured without root pw, you deserve to be owned.
ascii_field: if you play gramophone into a root shell, you deserve to be owned.
Chillum: I am not confident I could find every single thing that reads the keyboard. I am confident I can secure rs232
nubbins`: mildly on-topic, my old man is into woodworking and occasionally sends me links to wooden computers

Chillum: if you do use the keyboard port create a ps/2 fuzzer with the arduino ps/2 library. Send it all kinds of random stuff, see if you can cause unexpected behavior.
Chillum: fuzzing will find all kinds of stuff a careful search of an OS/codebase will
ascii_field: Chillum: you don't even need a microcontroller. can bitbang ps/2 trivially with parallel port of another machine nearby.
Chillum: I was thinking something like a Digispark, probably cost about the same as the parallel/ps2 cable
ascii_field: Chillum: i thought it was obvious that this is not a commercially-available device.
Chillum: I want to make a digispark that when plugged in to usb sends a very long password from the eeprom, then erases it several times
Chillum: eeprom erasure is not perfect but it is better than most mediums
Chillum: it won't have power when it is not plugged in
Chillum: the idea is that you load the key with a password in secure location A, then you got to insecure location B, use it to start a computer and it erases itself
mircea_popescu: what in insecure location b prevents it from making a copy of your key ?
Chillum: TPM monitored OS, and physical security. You don't want your cold wallet to have its keys in plaintext
Chillum: it could also be used to send a payload to a system and remove evidence
Chillum: of what the payload was, or that you had it
Chillum: all passwords can be stolen if you use them, we still use them
Chillum: the alternative is no password, no need to even steal it
mircea_popescu: i'm just unsure of what problem you're attacking, but anyway.
Chillum: what problem does a hammer solve? This is a general purpose tool for sending a text payload as a keyboard and erasing itself
ascii_field: Chillum: it exists solely to 'secure' the system against -you-, the owner.
Chillum: I am sure there is a master key out there
Chillum: I was thinking the same thing
mircea_popescu: in any case : a hammer is not a good analogy for your item.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: thread was originally about my dislike for qr and gedankenexperiment involving a more reasonable means of encoding machine-readable bits on paper.
Chillum: its white hat applications are limited, but lots of black hat applications

SquirtPrincess: prior work would my niteflirt account or camsdotcom or nakeddotcom work
Chillum: what do you mean? You could plug it in and it could in a matter of seconds download and install something onto a windoze box and then erase the evididence. Would be useful to any blackhat or penn tester
ascii_field: Chillum: out of curiosity, why do you take an interest in what happens to winblows boxes ?

Chillum: very few kids are creative or intelligent, but some are
mircea_popescu: there do certainly exist kids who MIGHT , once they're adults, be creative or intelligent.

Chillum: I would say the a low percentage of adults are creative or intelligent, and a lower non-zero person of children too
Chillum: really clever kids exploit the adults, not the other way around

nubbins`: well, no. cordless phones, dead for ~6 months now.
nubbins`: so right now i'm paying $30/mo for a phone number i don't use
ascii_field actually misses the voice quality of true non-ip landline phone
nubbins`: and i wanted to change it over to the business
nubbins`: but i apparently cannot do this
mircea_popescu: alternatively, make the lease in the corp name. they'll have to do it then.
mircea_popescu: you've unwound a bit of thread that indicates you're unoptimized in more ways than just phones.
jurov: wtf.. i have both cell and fiber signed on corporation without prob
mircea_popescu: jurov you don't live in idiotaria, which im starting to think is what columbus actually discovered.
nubbins`: all i want is internet service to be billed to residential and phone service to be billed to business

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: he wasn't just working for the 20k
mircea_popescu: how many of these are there ? (all of them, within reasonable tolerance). how many of these are more than willing to work under a power's blanket, if that power's powerful, rather than their own ? (a bunch)
