phf: fwiw openbsd didn't make it through v-ification either, it was designed to work cross platform, but i believe there were makefile modifications since, that didn't include it. i don't actively run openbsd, so can't integration test the result

mod6: phf: your patch(s) did work for me on openbsd. i think, once we have all of trinque's makefiles ready to go with the new (forthcoming) version of V, you and I should work together to get a new vpatch of your openbsd changes submitted.
mod6: The hang up here is that, it basically can't be mirrored in the same place as the rest of the patches; simply because when one sync's up against a mirror your changes will break the rest of the tree. ☟︎☟︎
mod6: so either, we need a separate repository for openbsd patches (not a bad idea), or we should just put the new openbsd vpatch in the mailing list for those who need it -- let them just add it to their V 'patches' directoriy by hand
mod6: *directory
mod6: make sense?
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6: i do believe that i understand now. << cool!
ben_vulpes: fwiw i completely failed to get the openbsd patch to work.
ben_vulpes: but i probably hosed something on that machine way before ever making it to building tri.
mod6: yeah, i think i need to walk you through the exact steps. i did get it to build, and fully sync a chain even. was very happy about that.
shinohai: mod6: i am fully synced nau ^^
mod6: having an alternate to linux is important to me. and i was able to build a static binary, but obviously this doesn't work with the rotor (linux only buildroot). i did build it with the stator.
mod6: anyway, getting a buildable openbsd is a priority of mine. there are just bigger things in front of that for the moment.

asciilifeform: perhaps it was once a thing, i cannot say
mod6: however, if he and I work together, we could possibly get some patches in place that would check to see what the local environment is and if __BSD__, then apply, otherwise, do not.
asciilifeform: pretty much every single 'openbsdism' i've so far run into screams braindamage
mircea_popescu: mod6 so basically we can't use our convenient makefiles to build the pressed source ; openbsd people gotta finagle their own build chain to get the same source to compile and link ?
asciilifeform: (~different~ braindamage than in linux, and this is appealing to some people)
mod6: yes.
mircea_popescu: well yeah, seems this will have to be separately maintained.
asciilifeform: just like the nintendo port.
mircea_popescu: i suspect it'd be a horrid mistake to try and merge the notion of a press and the notion of a makefile.
mod6: and further, the changes that we wanted to make with V (where we mechanically check to see the patch was applied correctly by checking the hashes) also will not work on bsd unless a bunch more alterations are made, but this is a side issue.

mod6: because they can not use buildroot... at least, I don't *think* they can, easily at lesat. they could turn on Linux Binary Comapt mode and perhaps some other kernel tweeks. would need to be looked a.t.
mircea_popescu: mod6 thinking about this, the problem slowly becomes that not only does bitcoin gravitate towards bitcoinos, but it puts some serious problems to any attempt at wide support.

asciilifeform: in trb.
pete_dushenski: my apologies for the linkspam interruption
asciilifeform: only switched on, with command line flag, if you are really ready to meet allah;
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform logically : a) you won't want to ssh into the node and do your bash there (providing it even has ssh). this means you'll be stuck using something else on top of bitcoin-os.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is elementarily not so
mircea_popescu: obviously, as a general thing, people MIGHT consider running a bitcoin node on any box they run.
mircea_popescu: but if bitcoin can not be run there... well...
asciilifeform: the bare metal variant will expose shiva shell through one of the serial ports
asciilifeform: which can be attached to whatever you like, e.g., a unix box running sshd
asciilifeform: sort of what folks do with routers and factory robots today
mircea_popescu: hm
mircea_popescu: so then the model here is to have fundamentally speaking a pogo/arm-ish level bitcoind/os, that doesn't really natively build on anything without a laundry list of finicking ?
asciilifeform: builds ~on~ whatever the fuck you like
asciilifeform: rotor does this already
mircea_popescu: i mean software-on not hardware-on
asciilifeform: software-on.
asciilifeform: rotor will build on nintendo.
mircea_popescu: then what is the bsd problem ?
asciilifeform: building ~for~
mircea_popescu: huh ?
asciilifeform: iirc nobody succeeded in building ~for~ it ?
mircea_popescu: so you bring up your *bsd box, run rotor on it, does it build or doesn't it.
asciilifeform: or hm, looks like userland caltrops prevent even v from running there
mircea_popescu: right. so no, rotor doesn't "do this already".
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: to which i say that it is braindamaged to expect the thing to build on arbitrary crud os
asciilifeform: what, i also do a winblows toolchain now ?
asciilifeform: vms?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so if someone has a box that they're using, they can't run a bitcoin node there unless they run it under bitcoinos ?
asciilifeform: build the linux variant ?
asciilifeform: understand, if someone ~wants~ to maintain a nintendo port, let'em
mircea_popescu: "bitcoinos" is a symbol here. may mean linux, whatever the fuck it means.
asciilifeform: but 'runs for everybody on every kind of dead animal in a box' is a dead end goal
mircea_popescu: and so what, we're officially targetting "anything that's unix post bsd pre systemd" ?
asciilifeform: i dare say that expecting a vaguely linuxlike ~build environment~ is not unreasonable
mircea_popescu: and so then bsd support, like windows or crapple support, would be a bolt-on ?
asciilifeform: if somebody wants to maintain a parallel universe 'v' et al where the bsd flags make it go, i will take off my hat to them.
asciilifeform: aha.

adlai: SaaS (spam, spam, blockchain, spam)
mircea_popescu: mod6 to my mind it's almost as if we bit a recursion girder over here. "v presses source". "ok how do i build it ?" "uh... i guess you need a v-make genesis and follow that for your os." "ok... how do i do that ?" "well... get v-make-make and..."
mod6: i guess my thought is, if we wanna make bitcoinos - we will end up forking either SVR4 or BSD, and then getting married.
adlai: the general goals being - get the data in there, as cheaply as possible, without same standards as http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1490 and some reasonable method to random-access without having to reconstruct the entire turd
assbot: Loper OS » Practical Blockchain Telegraphy. ... ( http://bit.ly/1LY30Hl )
adlai: s/out// blah
mod6: so we may think of a different way of doing something like this, maybe it's not a full OS of sorts, maybe its a embedded deal.
asciilifeform: adlai: why not also suggest placing it on mars ?
asciilifeform: cheaper.
mircea_popescu: mod6 here's the problem with "Bitcoinos" : you will want it adapted for bitcoin needs, which necessarily means it won't be your tool of choice for doing almost anything else, which necessarily means maintaining it will be a pain in the ass.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: trying to wiggle out from under this is misguided imho.
asciilifeform: it is a logical necessity.
mircea_popescu: im not making any calls here, just running the horse around the field.
adlai: asciilifeform: because large amounts of data are worth paying small amounts of btc to immortalize, today; and small amounts of data will always be worth paying large amounts of btc to immortalize - even tomorrow.

mod6: its a thing, it gets flashed on to some firmware, and it basically just is, you can talk to it and use it, but it is its own thing.
mircea_popescu: mod6 this i called the "pogo" approach to it.
mircea_popescu: polarbeard that's an even sadder story.
mod6: right. exactly similar to this.
polarbeard: unikernel?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bsd is retarded from the linux pov (or, if you're a bsd aficionado, vice-versa)
mod6: yah yah, watch it ;)
asciilifeform: polarbeard: based on trb.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i guess most of the problem comes from that chasm. we're not the first to meet it.
polarbeard: how do you talk with the cpu, memory, network, disk?
mircea_popescu: polarbeard most of those will have to be written de novo, basically. esp the filesystem.
asciilifeform: polarbeard: you open a book and read ? start with, e.g., tannenbaum ?
mircea_popescu: (or from a security perspective, esp the cpu and memory)
asciilifeform: polarbeard: or go to school, if you're the sort of person who goes in for that
polarbeard: lol, ok, gl
asciilifeform: (i happen to have done both)
mircea_popescu: so basically my tentative takeaway here is that we'll mostly try to maintain broad linux-compatibility and try and help interested parties keep the wheels oiled and turning on stuff like bsd.
mod6: yeah, for now. seems the most viable approach.
mircea_popescu: but riddle me this : how does user know his openbsd make process isn't satan's own ?

PROVEDLY SECURE!!11
asciilifeform: how does linux user know ?
mircea_popescu: "v is provably secure. now go build it!"
mod6: this is perhaps were a seperate branch of V for bsd only comes in. or maybe i misunderstand.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: thread concerned an experiment
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that i am carrying out presently
ben_vulpes: how does tinyscheme couple into ri source?
asciilifeform: with hands.
mircea_popescu: mod6 in the end we'll need a v thread for the source, one for the manual, one for linux make one for bsd make etc ? like 4 ?
ben_vulpes: this is a wonder i would greatly like to see myself
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i got it to compile ages ago, the tricky bit is to add useful tendrils into it
asciilifeform: so you can meaningfully probe the living trb
ben_vulpes: this'd be hooks into running bitcoind memory space and such?
mod6: mircea_popescu: excellent point.
asciilifeform: it runs in own thread, you telnet into it

asciilifeform: very barbaric

mircea_popescu: understand mod6 : the thing that scared me above isnm't per se the fact that now we need 4, but that well... it grew. might be we're sitting on some unbounded complexity / a loose recursion tail.
mircea_popescu: next week, 12 ? 255 ?
mod6: sure, the whole: 1, 2, inf. problem.
mircea_popescu: so this has to be pondered upon.
asciilifeform: sorta why i say it has to converge.
asciilifeform: to 1.
asciilifeform: incl. hardware.
asciilifeform: as in, canonical ~physical object~
asciilifeform: bits included.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nothing converges if the path to convergence is expensive.
asciilifeform: aha, didn't say it has any danger of happening.
asciilifeform: but that 'has to'
asciilifeform: to work as intended.
mircea_popescu: are you an engineer or a priest today ?
asciilifeform is probably both, at least in re: professional life

mod6: asciilifeform: so are we basically, with rotor, able to not only build a static bitcoind, but couldn't we also build a flashable rom that contains said static binary - a flashable universe so to speak?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lulzy link, it very closely resembles an undergrad homework of mine
mod6: does anyone else think that this is *not* a decent consideration at least? even taking into consideration the issues we ran into with pogo?
mircea_popescu: what do you mean ?
mod6: eh, sorry: does the idea of a flashable universe built from rotor still make sense.
mircea_popescu: definitely.
mod6: i think it could be pretty neat, in the end.
mod6: you buy a flash rom (from S.NSA? or from local place you trust??) then get V, build a flashable universe, flash the card, drop it into some device and then you can talk to it over some wire from your work station

ben_vulpes dd's the 10.6 installer onto the flash drive one last time
pete_dushenski: it's wild how much more organised 10.6 is than 10.8. the latter ~always~ bunged up dates. when trying to organise a folder by "date modified", the latest documents would almost invariably end up in their own speshul sub-heading waaay at the bottom of the list under "no date". but then once in a while, not. for whatever reason.

phf: openbsd patch as written results in a working build on both linux and openbsd. it introduces necessary ifdefs to ensure cross platform support. the only change that it does to makefile is, at least according to my research, is necessary with some versions of gcc, rather then openbsd specific (has to do with static linking of pthread). without that change build ~can~ produce broken static bitcoind on both openbsd and linux. at the time
phf: when it was written and submitted it applied cleanly to the tree. to my knowledge it doesn't interfere with stator build. in fact the whole point of patch is to make minimally intrusive changes to source so that interested parties don't have to track down silly issues when attempting a build on their own. it's my understanding that the patch was simply dropped during v-ification, so of course now it doesn't in any way fits into
phf: pressing.
ben_vulpes: phf: i have a hunch that it was my boost compiles that were failing.
pete_dushenski: just noticed that crapple is pulling the same version naming strange as bitcoin 'core', ie. v. x.9 followed by x.10, x.11, x.12, etc. (is this the equiv. of web 2.12 ?)
ben_vulpes: still trying to get the hang of the m1a1, very much adrift in the cockpit of a warthog.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: it's been an alternative scheme for as long as i can remember
ben_vulpes: x.6 ~ 10.6
mircea_popescu: phf how can it be dropped i dont get this ?
mircea_popescu: in random good unix news : shuf -n 1 $file will pop out a random line from that file.

pete_dushenski back to reading about x86_64
phf: mircea_popescu: well, openbsd and timestamp are written in old diff format, their migration was not done by foundation when majority of patches were moved to vdiff. i interpreted that move as the patches not being needed and an invitation to perform migration myself.
mircea_popescu: i think the migration was done by patch authors rly.

phf: well, first v release was migrated by ascii, with all the patches signed by him, i think later mod6 signed his?
mircea_popescu: possibru
BingoBoingo: If asciilifeform reads and tests what he signs the openbsd patch would have been missed. Timestamp may have been overlooked.

BingoBoingo can finally read ben_vulpes on SSL
phf: one of the features of the openbsd patch is that it should build cleanly on linux, i.e. naive build or a stator build. i did a naive build that work, while i was developing, but since i assume it was not included in stator i can't speak to that.
phf: basically the patch being dropped created bunch of work for me, that i don't have bandwidth to pursue. (i.e. produce a v version, test on stator)
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: "The correct answer is that developed and practiced by people who take personal cryptographic hygenie very seriously" << hygiene
phf: otherwise the work needs to be done by other foundation members, and it comes with commitment to support openbsd build
phf: as it stands foundation doesn't support openbsd, and when someone wants to build on openbsd, i just support them directly ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i guess that makes sense.

phf: the ~only~ "script" aspect of the patch is "-Wl,--whole-archive -lpthread -Wl,--no-whole-archive" which is a cross platform gcc argument that ensure that pthread is truly fully statically linked into bitcoind. the issue that some parts of it don't appear consistently with openbsd gcc ~and also on some of the linux gcc versions~. fucking says so in the original email
phf: everything else in there is either cross platform clarification or straight up an #ifdef. it's a tiny ass patch, if it doesn't build on rotor, linux, etc. it's a bug in a patch

It's become increasingly clear in the course of hacking events that the FSF's needs for gcc2 are at odds with the objectives of many in the community who have done lots of hacking and improvement over the years. GCC is part of the FSF's publicity for the GNU project, as well as being the GNU system's compiler, so stability is paramount for them. On the other hand,
punkman: Cygnus, the Linux folks, the pgcc folks, the Fortran folks and many others have done development work which has not yet gone into the GCC2 tree despite years of efforts to make it possible."

mircea_popescu: whether you like the idea or not - jack shit you can do aobut it.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the corruptive influence of bitcoin over enemies works in gpg and v space too.
mircea_popescu: new identity has to put in effort to establish trust. if it wants to abuse it later... it does have to burn it.
mircea_popescu: keep things so it's never worth doing that, you don't care if it's hitler's own id.

'Because you could never have served the enemy as well as you served us,' he said. 'I realized that almost all the ideas that I hold now, that make me unashamed of anything I may have felt or done as a Nazi, came not from Hitler, not from Goebbels, not from Himmler — but from you.' He took my hand.
mircea_popescu: quite.
mircea_popescu: and to bring back that very obscure thing on trilema about sybils etc :
mircea_popescu: the ONLY viable attack against the wot is getting people to act in systematic manners.
mircea_popescu: it is the direct equivalent of entropy-diddling for keysystems.
mircea_popescu: not only "there's nothing common about common sense" - but there's a very good reason for this. common sense is decentralized system poison.
asciilifeform: when i explain this to folks, i like to use the example of liquid nitrogen sausage
asciilifeform: hit ordinary sausage with a hammer, nothing, it gets a little flatter
asciilifeform: now freeze it solid, do the same...
mircea_popescu: yeah. vitrification kills.
asciilifeform: the ~structure~ kills.
mircea_popescu: destructure all teh things!
mircea_popescu: hey - this actuyally works. fundamentally, we're destructuralists.
mircea_popescu: comes after post-poststructuralism.
asciilifeform: now, a very hot sausage melts into goo, burns. an entirely destructured forum - timecubes.

mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "entirely destructured".
asciilifeform: sure.
asciilifeform: but it is possible to ionize the sausage.
asciilifeform: and generally undesirable.
mircea_popescu: no but this is important. the measure is not 0-> but (undefined) ->
mircea_popescu: very different sort of algebra.
asciilifeform: we actually don't have an algebra for entropy measures, other than shannon's
mircea_popescu: more generally, there's no algebra with a 1 but not a 0 in this sense afaik.
asciilifeform: riddle time:
asciilifeform: char *p = sc->strbuff;
asciilifeform: while ((p - sc->strbuff < sizeof(sc->strbuff)) &&
asciilifeform: !is_one_of(delim, (*p++ = inchar(sc))));

mircea_popescu: the sad truth is that this is a very specific sort of ideal.
mircea_popescu: like the bell bottoms, a fashion of the 70s
asciilifeform: how's that
mircea_popescu: i dunno how to explain it otherwise.
asciilifeform: which would be the 'ideal'
asciilifeform: wanton pointer arithmetic ?
asciilifeform: to save five lines but add an hour to the time of anybody trying to actually grasp the meaning ?
jurov: "idiomatic C" ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: that, yes.
mircea_popescu: sorta like crossword puzzles, same thing. a sort of cleverness.
