phf: further kommunity conversation on reproducible builds https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/757118/f2f894279576c348/
asciilifeform: 'In the tricky middle ground of 95-96%, his position would depend on why builds were non-reproducible, as there are a few valid reasons for this to happen. In response to another question, he said that two good reasons for a non-reproducible build were packages that build inside their own virtual machine, such as Emacs, and security packages with signing keys such as secure boot. ' << lolwaaat
asciilifeform: Valid Reasons (tm)(r) didjaknow. ☟︎
phf: how does that go, the hole through which the night comes
asciilifeform: btw as soon as ave1 fully pins down his gnat, 1st order of biznis is the burning out with hot irons of all timestampism and misc crapola emitted into binaries
asciilifeform: whatever of these survives elf stripping, at the very least.
asciilifeform: also didjaknow! , 'Building everything from sources that one has hand-inspected is a solution to this, but it doesn't scale. Many of us aren't qualified to spot security weaknesses...' etc
phf: oh yeah that piece is full of gems like that
asciilifeform: 'Lamb referred to a build that had been made non-reproducible by a 15-digit random number that was generated during each build and baked into the resulting binary. It turned out that it was used as an OpenID secret, which meant that everyone running a given build of the software was using the same secret key.' << genius...
asciilifeform: 'Unix doesn't specify an order in which readdir() and listdir() should return the contents of a directory, so components can get built in an unpredictable order' << this is gonna need a cure.
asciilifeform: 'build that iterates over the keys of a Perl hash will have problems, since these elements are also returned in a variable order' << perlism has gotta go.
asciilifeform: pretty sure that gprbuild does not suffer from said idiocy, but this will have to be tested.
phf: hmm
asciilifeform: !!up LordMPofTMSR
deedbot: LordMPofTMSR voiced for 30 minutes.
LordMPofTMSR: freenanigans!
asciilifeform: oh hey he's logged in from orbital capsule again
phf: typically hashtables stay stable over invocations of same code, i wonder where randomness is even coming from ☟︎
asciilifeform: phf: prolly from os/bitness/etc-dependent crapolade in tree rebalancer etc
phf: oh you know what never mind, reproducible here is of course across machines and such
asciilifeform: machines, time, phase of the moon, alignment of planets, sunspots
phf: in that case though any build process that relies on hashtables will fail
asciilifeform: on hashtables implemented by opentards at any rate
asciilifeform: btw phf i nominate you as the hero who will produce msdos gnat.
phf: heh, you really want it?
asciilifeform: ( dun have to run ~on~ msdos, tho that would be pure gold; but at least crosscompile to it )
asciilifeform: yes.
asciilifeform: a complete dos toolchain would rock unspeakably.
asciilifeform wonders what it'd take to put sbcl on dos.
phf: much hairy, unix.lisp, runtime, sbcl's new approach of doing every single bit of ffi by writing C function wrappers first ☟︎
asciilifeform: i can picture.
phf: though it does run on windows..
asciilifeform: gnat also ( tho i confess, never tried )
phf: emacs still has msdos folder in tree, all the way to 26. i wonder if that still compiles, or the folder is a lie
asciilifeform: phf: i thought you had a working dos emacs..?
phf: asciilifeform: yeah, but of some significant vintage, i think it's either 21 or 22. i doubt 26 works, and i feel like i've seen "msdos no longer supported" changelog entries

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-20#1827895 <- my (possibly naive) idea was to try first on conventional gentoo by recompiling with musltronic gcc what I need; asciilifeform perhaps knows upfront: would it work to (re-)emerge libs such as zlib and libmysqlclient using the musltronic-gcc? ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-06-20 20:38 asciilifeform: earlier diana_coman requested conventional gentoo. what'll it be ?
diana_coman: esp libmysqlclient is potentially iffy because it has dependencies that go deeper but atm I don't know until I try it; unless someone else tried similar /knows better?
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-20#1827889 <- in short because existing machine is production environment, there are limits to doing experiments on it ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-06-20 20:33 ben_vulpes: diana_coman: why does it need to be wholly separate machine? i think something might have flown over my head
diana_coman: obviously, failing this first approach, next would be to get cuntoo on it and try it directly there; as per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-20#1827894 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-06-20 20:37 mircea_popescu: and so it is here : if gets away without cuntoo, will try, if not, with.

diana_coman: I should add in case it's not clear that part of the reason for trying to do it starting from a conventional gentoo is that it gives a recipe to apply afterwards (if it works, obv) to current server too
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1827977 << 're-emerge' seems to imply systemwide ? you're more or less guaranteed a borked box, muslism has to be done either rotor-style (i.e. 100% user-local build of 1 proggy at a time) or systemwide ( trinque's cuntoo ), on account of the impossibility of cleanly linking glibc libs to musl proggy or vice versa ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 08:34 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-20#1827895 <- my (possibly naive) idea was to try first on conventional gentoo by recompiling with musltronic gcc what I need; asciilifeform perhaps knows upfront: would it work to (re-)emerge libs such as zlib and libmysqlclient using the musltronic-gcc?
diana_coman: I see; in that case it would seem cuntoo is needed then indeed
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you were making simply a musltronic version of euloratron, it could be done rotor-style (buildroot env) . but sounds like you want cuntoo straight away.
asciilifeform: the go-to man is then trinque .
diana_coman: asciilifeform, it's unclear that a musltronic version of euloratron is in way easier to achieve atm because of dependencies
asciilifeform: diana_coman: hence why i said 'rotor buildroot env'
asciilifeform: i solved this same problem for trb -- i.e. building 100% musltronic proggy with '9000' deps , on a conventional box ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: depending on how far cuntoo is from flight-readiness ( trinque , any idea ? ) this may be worth doing in your case
asciilifeform: mod6 is the one who 100% automated asciilifeform's rotor builder; you may want to use his model, ~iff~ waiting for cuntoo is not permissible
diana_coman: well, either there is cuntoo and then can try with it or there isn't, in which no choice apparently other than rotor buildroot style
asciilifeform: right
asciilifeform: of the mentioned libs, zlib is known to me to work under musltronic build; libmysqlclient i had not occasion to test ☟︎
asciilifeform: it is my understanding that trinque has a quite complete list of what worx and what -- not; ping him when he wakes.
diana_coman: trinque, can you help re ^ ? (in short: need musltronic system, what can I do)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had asked asciilifeform not to meddle in euolorological matters, so i'ma stop here, unless all of you somehow get stuck and he asks for specific puzzler to be sent to my operating table.
diana_coman: it's ok
asciilifeform: generally speaking unless one or moar of your deps is weird in the 'emacs' way (i.e. does something obscene with glibc-specific pheatures) it's a straight mechanical job, like rotor.
Mocky: I'm confused about trb rpc. Log search suggests for the first year+ of bitcoin foundation rpc was marked for death: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-28#1417175 but then there's dump / eat block based on rpc? Is this a new version of rpc, I don't see a new version announced on the mailing list. Can someone sum this up for me, I'm having trouble following the history. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-02-28 05:45 asciilifeform: it is to be amputated ~whole~. no motherfucking stumps.
asciilifeform: Mocky: the rpc thing is ugly and there were experiments re replacing it ( e.g. 'shiva', scheme interpreter bolted on to trb ) but this took a back seat to moar pressing matters ( control of memory footprint ; sane sync behaviour; coupla other items ) and to this day rpc is still there.
asciilifeform: Mocky: on the list of serious problems in trbworld, it ranked somewhere near bottom.
Mocky: ok, so looking for documentation on how to use: it still works like this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_(JSON-RPC)
trinque: diana_coman: I have updated the script you last tried, such that it again works. What I have not completed is the v-tree which is to replace imperial portage. ☟︎☟︎☟︎
trinque: so if I were to upload the current version of the script for you, it would produce a system which is classical gentoo, my recipe, plus the musl and libressl overlays. this'd be what you'd get if you were hand-spinning own musl/libressl system.
trinque: let me know if you're interested in the script, and I'll be happy to upload. otherwise I'll hold off until done with the genesis.vpatch. what remains there is trimming the fat. the pile of ebuilds necessary to build a minimal userland is approx 4mb, though I can probably shave several mb of alternate versions of same ebuilds. then there's the profile directory, which contains environment settings pertinent
trinque: to particular hardware architectures, particular justwantedto variations like use of systemd or nsa.selinux, so on. the profile dir is about 20mb, so serious yak shaving needs to occur there. it's a task I've already done elsewhere (produced a minimal profile for an embedded system for printers recently), just needs to be done here.
trinque: if you choose to use the build without the vtronic portage, it will be feasible to transition the system once that is born.
trinque: that process will amount to setting an environment variable to direct emerge to use the /cuntoo/portage tree (and to designate /usr/portage as an overlay, if you'll be porting ebuilds from classical gentoo into cuntoo)
asciilifeform: Mocky: the definitive doc, unfortunately, is still the src .
asciilifeform: Mocky: i.e. http://btcbase.org/patches/makefiles/tree/bitcoin/src/bitcoinrpc.cpp
asciilifeform: !!up Fearful
deedbot: Fearful voiced for 30 minutes.
asciilifeform: Fearful: who goes there ?
Mocky: asciilifeform, thanks
asciilifeform: Mocky: trb , roughly speaking , is a legacy item, in the same way as the icbm targeting comp and similar. i.e. a museum piece that gotta be kept in working order, rather than 'sexy, new' thing bubbling with development
Mocky: understood
asciilifeform: Mocky: even quite small changes to trb, typically get months ( sometimes yrs.. ) of discussion, testing.
asciilifeform: Mocky: as you are prolly already beginning to understand from the l0gz, vtronics grew from trb work, which demanded 'measure not 7, but 7777 times, before cutting once', in the style of http://btcbase.org/log/2014-11-15#922644 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2014-11-15 00:28 asciilifeform: one would read instructions. another, turn a wrench, whatever. third would check that 2 corresponds to 1. then, all three sign under that step in recipe.
Mocky: asciilifeform, yes. I'm still wrapping my head around v. My understanding is attaching name and trust to every patch with an explicit dependence tree and build order. But I've not grasped the details yet, or used except to build trb, or understood the src
Mocky: well not build order but patch ordering
asciilifeform: Mocky: not merely this. there is also a set of human-enforced conventions re: 'fits-in-head' of any proposed change.
asciilifeform: Mocky: the illustrative log hook is the story of polarbeard
asciilifeform: !#s polarbeard
a111: 288 results for "polarbeard", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=polarbeard
asciilifeform: fella had enthusiasm, even some talent, but could not grasp the essential idea that a patch gotta be compact and touch a strict and justifiable minimum count of moving parts
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu , in one of his essays, described how gurlz from nato reich who enlist in his harem sometimes suffer from the effects of fat-soluble poisons, which accumulated in their meat, as the fat burns up in exercise. there is a similar malady suffered by escapees from 'open sores' world on those occasions when they show up here. the toxins gotta work their way out.
asciilifeform: not errybody makes it to the other end .
asciilifeform: Mocky: to function as a troo vtronicist, gotta grasp the concept, described by e.g. dijkstra, that a line of code you have written is not an asset, but an expense. (specifically, an expense against the time budget of other thinking people, who must read and grasp what you have written. ) ☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: Mocky: v rejects the traditional concept of 'merge'. therefore in order for a patch to continue through time, it must be not only correct, and simple not only to understand but to manually reintegrate ( see l0gz re 'regrind' ) .
asciilifeform: Mocky: the design of v is to give thoughtful, careful, honest folx , a sword with which to cut the sloppy, careless, and mendacious.
asciilifeform: Mocky: occasionally you will stumble across the latter's mangled bones, in the logz.
mircea_popescu: not "sometimes". every time.
asciilifeform: oh hah.
asciilifeform: Mocky: imho the best intro text re vtronics is still ben_vulpes's , http://cascadianhacker.com/07_v-tronics-101-a-gentle-introduction-to-the-most-serene-republic-of-bitcoins-cryptographically-backed-version-control-system
asciilifeform: Mocky: and the best 'intro course', is still to write, as exercise, your own implementation.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform, mod6 , phf , ben_vulpes , trinque , ( and several other folx, who are not here, flunked out ) , have done this.
Mocky: asciilifeform, re: rejects traditional concept of merge, to my eye this looks like 5 merges. are these non-traditional? ☟︎
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/patches
asciilifeform: Mocky: 'merging' is done by hand.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1827994 << yes but this won't likely work here ; the dependency tree is like 10x trb's. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 12:37 asciilifeform: i solved this same problem for trb -- i.e. building 100% musltronic proggy with '9000' deps , on a conventional box
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the main q is not re how many, but whether there is an 'emacs'-like boojum among'em. buildroot will just as happily build 9000 deps as 1.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly you oughta test this experimentally, might be pleasantly surprised.
mircea_popescu: yes, it's getting done.
mircea_popescu: in pleasantly surprised : yesterday driving through flood (it rained here like the end of hte world, 15cm+) car lost... the front fucking plate on a highway ramp, when water came as high as the windows.
mircea_popescu: so i called teh empleado, sent him to fish my plate somehow, an hour later, when i finally noticed coming out of whorehouse.
mircea_popescu: he... did. "por milagro", dood fished out my plate out of a sunken highway ramp.
asciilifeform: twist : http://www.dukw.com/dkramp.gif is mircea_popescu's car
mircea_popescu: nevertheles... not something you'd rely on, even if you had miracle-working groundskeepers at your beak and call. the correct approach is to NOT HAVE FLOODABLE HIGHWAY RAMPS OMFG
mircea_popescu: well, it does take like 8 liters of engine oil... but it's just a bmw.
mircea_popescu: anyway, point being, as girl was dialing the miracle worker for me, i was saying to her, "tomorrow you call the lawyer, apparently he's getting me new plates."
asciilifeform: puzzler is why would it come loose to begin with.. water-soluble screws?!
asciilifeform: .. held on with hot glue ?
mircea_popescu: nah, it rests on a larger plastic plate, which is plastic-fastened to the whole bumper assemblage.
asciilifeform: ugh
mircea_popescu: you know ?
mircea_popescu: basically it got sail effect.
asciilifeform: sounds liek this bmw is of moar chinese build than my old tub even
mircea_popescu: it is literally made in germany.
asciilifeform: iguess germany aint what it used to be
mircea_popescu: and this was years ago!
asciilifeform recalls when bumpers were made of rubber, and ~never needed swap
mircea_popescu: but yes, this is how empires die.

mircea_popescu: probably ; but honestly i very much like this thing's turn. it specifically does 1-lane-over turning. very evidently was designed specifically for it.
asciilifeform: evidently it wants to live on clean, dry autobahn, smooth enuff for playing billiard.
mircea_popescu: you can switch from driving leftmost lane this way to rightmost lane that way or rightmost lane this way to leftmost lane that way on a 4 lane road at ~100kmph in sub a second. just goes wooooosh.
Mocky: what, rear wheels steer too?
mircea_popescu: Mocky no, rear wheels go woosh. but ever so slightly, it's so stable you wouldn't believe.
asciilifeform: Mocky: afaik those only exist in jp
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform driving through water is a major engineering problem though. unless specifically amphibian landing vehicle, ytou won't get it.
mircea_popescu: the correct fucking solution, nevermind billiard whatever, is to not have floodable highway ramps. which is the largest chapter in highway ramp engineering book. not even kidding.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: quite troo. tho gelandewagen-style fat, synchronous wheels still better for drowned roads than autobahn limo.
mircea_popescu: phf there were takers, mod6 working on rawtx recall ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: here's the pro tip : everyone who made money in the 90s did so because of their "pot dealer" connections.
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking point of even having a black market economy is to destroy the system, hence all the o'brien comments on trilema.
mircea_popescu: the same guy selling you pot, in a working world, will sell your car for you / introduce you to the people in austriturkey to buy condoms from and so on.
mircea_popescu: then you learn the much more important lesson that a car's worth of condom's worth the whole hruscheba, plus that hottie on 2F.

trinque: (there will be a tool for initramfs-ism forthcoming, but there are very few situations where you actually need one)

mircea_popescu: in other sads, article fucking untranslatable. "inchipuiti-va" is not romanian for "imagine", because that's imaginati-va. it's the vocative of the act of creating a form/face (chip) in your mind. which does not exist in english as such, unless you go to "mentally iconify" or somesuch barbarism.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'представьте себе...'
mircea_popescu: this word, incidentally, is like the english "set". means "ways, means, form, face, expression" etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform isn't that more like vede, "see" ?
spyked: asciilifeform, yes, found w4rez. and used it as reference. and the lisp evaluator works on simple programs (implemented most higher-order functions in it), but the code is organized like crap. and I'm not sure I made the correct cut between "builtin procedures" and e.g. keywords such as "lambda". ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: neh, 'put forth to yourself'
mircea_popescu: then exactly.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you'll find that ro translates, generally, cleanly, to ru
asciilifeform: and prolly other human languages
mod6: Hi all. So we're trying to figure out what we can do here regarding the s.mg hot-spare box.
mircea_popescu: myeah.
asciilifeform: ( vs island patois )
mircea_popescu: mod6 last i heard and signed off on, alf's gonna put the cuntoo on the box as soon as you folks have it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: translates ok, as i currently see it , even to jp ( but asciilifeform would not yet undertake such a thing )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for your lulz file, google thinks представьте себе = "represent yourself".
mircea_popescu: note the ambiguity, "represent ~to others~"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: google translator is pretty much same 1970s lultron as produced 'the vodka is tasty but the meat -- rotten' from 'spirit is willing but flesh is weak', famously
mircea_popescu: justaboot.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's pet is working through learning ru, and periodically succumbs to temptation of google translate as 'learning tool', with predictably lulzy result ☟︎
mircea_popescu: putin doesn't understand how the world works.
asciilifeform: the meat, see , was rotten!11
mod6: And what we're proposing is this: 1) the bitcoin foundation will give S.MG its SAMSUNG 1tb ssd - we can get that drive into the hot-spare-environment and get it racked in the next i.e. 48 hours. This will allow diana_coman to boot up and do whatever testing/gymnstaics she needs. meanwhile 2) Pizarro will make 1st order of 5 1tb ssds from shitazon and have those shipped asap. They should arrive by about mid
mod6: -july. 3) Upon receipt of the first drive shipment, we can add those additional drives to the hot-spare-evironment - as needed. They'll be earmarked for S.MG. 4) Pizarro will then actually place another order of 5 drives to be shipped just to have on hand.
mircea_popescu: mod6 a) why not just sell it to pizarro and b) it's really no rush, end of the month's fine. ☟︎
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
mod6: I've just been told that I don't even need to give S.MG a drive, or sell it one. Apparently I misunderstood and there already is a drive available for this environment. Just one, and that's alwasys been there iirc.
mircea_popescu: a ok. anyway, don't stress out about it neh.
mod6: asciilifeform: aha, they can decide to add the additional drives any time after the first shipment is received. Totally up to S.MG.
ben_vulpes: nah no stress, workin out how to best serve s.mg
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the only catch is that "o wait, kernel now dun work"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can backup to the larger box, neh
mircea_popescu: can what ?
asciilifeform: ( or off-site, via net, like errybody )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if disk failure is the concern
asciilifeform: or do i misunderstand 'kernel now dunwork'
mircea_popescu: no, the idea is, she stands up a working pile on the non-raid system, attempts to move it over, it don't boot, because raid.
mod6: Anyway, that's what I'm thinkin. We stand up what we have onhand for S.MG. And meanwhile, we order 5 1Tb SSDs for immediate shipment. When recieved, we ship another 5.
ben_vulpes: box can come up for testing with the spare ssd drive held for s.mg raid redundancy; then reprovision with cuntoo later in the month and the fat stack of SSDs to flesh out the raid array for the production cutover.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i procured, for this reason, identical raid cards for all
mircea_popescu: ah, so then adult raid, just not adult populated. this seems fine.
asciilifeform: correct
mircea_popescu: right. i dun see a problem.
diana_coman: sounds ok to me too

mod6: bsov
mircea_popescu: dumbass earnestly didn't even imagine how fucktardedly ridiculous she is.
mircea_popescu: but i suppose this is what you get for wiping back to front
asciilifeform misread as 'whipping back to front', was puzzled
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 a) why not just sell it to pizarro and b) it's really no rush, end of the month's fine. << thanks for the time horizon. we'll plan on getting the hot-spare racked and going for sure by end of June.
asciilifeform: mod6: box is racked, needs disks, FG, nic cord.
mod6: we've got FGs, and iirc, we've also got two remaining USB-TTLs right?
asciilifeform insisted on bolting the spare boxen into the rack, given as it is really 2man job
mod6: lobbes: you still wanna buy & ship some SSDs for pizarro for BTC? chat us up in #pizarro about the details.
mod6: im assuming we also have spare ethernet cords down ther
mod6: so we should be good to go then to meet our EoM deadline.
mod6: ok, seems like we only have 1 USB-TTL still available on site.
asciilifeform: mod6: ben_vulpes the other day agreed to finally send his stash
asciilifeform brb,meat
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.
mod6: (we'll obv. add the second one in there as soon as the addtional USB-TTLs arrive)
diana_coman: mod6, when is the eta for having them?
diana_coman: i.e. the ssds and the full set of fg
ben_vulpes: end of july for the whole package
mircea_popescu: mod6 one's plenty sure.
mircea_popescu: hmm... did i just step in it ?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, it's certainly fine for testing at this stage; presumably later if we get everything compiling fine and bring eucrypt in we might want to have both but it's not at all a requirement atm
mircea_popescu: if indeed we just move it back to old one during a wed downtime, we need nothing.
mircea_popescu: anywya, just trying to work with these fellows within their surprising constraints.
mod6: ok sounds like a plan then. thanks for being flexible here.
diana_coman: if we can indeed just move it over on a wed downtime then yes, not needed for sure;
mod6: i'll even go one further... if the FG USB-TTL becomes a pressing issue, for some reason, I'll give ya mine from my rockchip.
mod6: i'll take another one when the shipment arrives in .uy, no problem at all.
mircea_popescu: that;s the hope, anywya. we see.
