asciilifeform: or use phf's beta vdiff , iirc it worx correctly
lobbes: awesome. ty!
asciilifeform: bahahaha i have spi rom read/write on c101pa.
asciilifeform: i.e. enuff for 'unbrickable' encuntooation.
BingoBoingo: Congrats, I am wrestling with humble wp migrations
asciilifeform: nao i need a payload (i.e. substitute for that 8MB turd the thing comes with.) lessee what phf meanwhile came up with.
BingoBoingo: Forth interpreter?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: thing needs a working port of uboot , that actually inits the iron
BingoBoingo: ah
asciilifeform: google's published flashrom util dunwork, i have one patched by hand, that worx via my http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2415 snake . will eventually publish the whole shebang, once i have working payload.
asciilifeform: what all of this means, is that i can try payloads for the main fw, without needing to buy a train car full of mobos

asciilifeform bbl
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno that i'd publish that much of the thing. what's that buy, usual amstan tards doing the republic-with-serials-filed-off innovation ?
mircea_popescu: let s.nsa sell the laptops and that'll be good enough.
mircea_popescu: let them have to spend some of the fiatola chinese give them to even evaluate the claim that it works. no free food for criminals.
mircea_popescu: cocksuckers somehow managed to conjure up imaginary millions for donations to try and drown out http://trilema.com/2014/the-public-burning-of-bob-beck/ ; i don't recall the mns in donations post phuctor, for instance.
mircea_popescu: time to learn that there's a time to grease, if one aims to avoid anal rape lubed in own blood. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: At least I dun have to worry about them running down here. The price of vasoline in Uruguay is its own rape.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not sure if i get it -- what, google will sell cuntoo lappy ?!
mircea_popescu: not exactly.
asciilifeform: for my education, plox to elaborate then?
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, they'll sell free ubuntu lappy.
mircea_popescu: made by #femen #codes
asciilifeform: sorta what they do currently, neh
mircea_popescu: neh.
asciilifeform: ( right nao, what's in there is a plagiarized gentoo )
asciilifeform: i think i get the idea tho
asciilifeform: the 'libreboot' derps would prolly crawl over it like flies on shit.
mircea_popescu: quite. and we'll have another nigglet that invented the clock. except it'd be isis thersephina-abdul or some retarded dumb shit like that.
asciilifeform: lol!!

asciilifeform: aa
mircea_popescu: as i was saying : pantsuit gotta learn that if it doesn't bend over and squirt ~OODLES~ of money when it has the chance, it'll be bent over and fucked with farming implements later on.
mircea_popescu: it's not a matter of "oh, we handled phuctor story" ; it's a matter of "failed to present republic with fifty virgin transsexuals and fifty million in cash post haste ? awwww..."
mircea_popescu: the time to kowtow before the golden boy is when the golden boy is seven years old. by the time he's fifteen...

mircea_popescu: la lider ?
mircea_popescu: south america has a serious fucking problem.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: last week << '2 years ago' in text
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dates approximative.
asciilifeform: lol
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't get it, so washington pereyra informs that they demolished 10 houses including one of a woman that ambiguously either (ran a non-pantsuit-sanctioned soup kitchen) or (headed a criminal gang) because it was discovered that repeatedly gangsters asked locals "not involved in ilicit activity" to sell them their houses ?!
mircea_popescu: wtf sense does this make ?!
asciilifeform: loox like old-fashioned state terror , 'kowtow to pantsuit or we salt your fields'
BingoBoingo: For some reason the Authoritits have a hard on for bulldozing shit in Casaville
BingoBoingo: But hey, the 5-0 can't do raids in the night!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma guess they saw a reportage from gaza strip once, where this 'worked' so well
BingoBoingo: Vivir en Mierda!
mircea_popescu: but doesn't it stand to reason that if indeed they demolished 10 "gangster" houses the "gangsters" in question now have all the more incentive to squeeze the pantsuit neighbours ? and if contrairy-wise, they demolished 10 pantsuit houses, thjey just did the "gangster"s one better ?!
mircea_popescu: wtf.
asciilifeform: 'partizans blew a train, let's burn moar village'
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is this a very poorly communicated "these idiots '''built''' out of packaging on squatted land" thing ?
asciilifeform: no mention of this in the link, or in the prev ones
BingoBoingo: Casaville's a big squat region yes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform usually this is because "no need" because "everyone knows". latinos are a hopelessly fucked in the head barn animal species.
BingoBoingo: Could be normalize titles with bulldozers
asciilifeform: txt seems to imply that demolished 'because gangster', rather than 'because squat'
mircea_popescu: wtf gangstering they might've done is anyone's guess.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This is Uruguay. Having Grandparents who squatted 75 years ago is about as gangster as it gets
mircea_popescu: they have these pieces here too, "police caught dope dealing ring, confiscated some dope and 20`000 colones in cash"
asciilifeform: at any rate, if it's a selective de-squatting, doesn't break the '1942 ss vs partizan' flavour equation
mircea_popescu: that's about 1/10 what a restaurant meal for 4 costs.
mircea_popescu: in fact, i've yet to see a piece where teh police breaking up these truly dangerous drug rings found more than ~week's pay in cash.
mircea_popescu: which points to some mindblowingly inept "gangsters" ; or i guess to some strangely inept yet very corrupt police.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa also when they pillage they find 'whole 20k usd' and not 20mil, for same reason
mircea_popescu: at least in the us, 20k is enough to feed the people "captured" for the day.
asciilifeform: ( the folx with 20mil, paid their usg крыша properly )

a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 18:28 mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : minigame was going to work both an infinite-items and an infinite-lands update ; they kinda need the new client protocol (mostly to do on-demand content delivery) ; which is waiting for... cuntoo!
BingoBoingo: Similarly I see nothing about the police busting folks trafficking "pasta base (cocaine chaw)" but they do occasionally bust folks taking cheap marihuana paraguaya to Punta Del Este
mircea_popescu: i rather doubt there's those folks with 20 mil, at least at the level here discussed. a dime bag costs ~same here as in florida. actually, maybe slightly more expensiuve here. same as with hdds or w/e else, idiocy tax, everything costs the orcs more.
mircea_popescu: trinque nice.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: how's that work, i thought uy 'legalized'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Uy legalized Uy marahuana, but not Para-guayuary marihuana
mircea_popescu: ahahaha
asciilifeform: is this like the cig smugglers in nyc ?
mircea_popescu: sounds exactly like.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No, its Uy can't get enough brains to Oregon and they run out of domestic grown
BingoBoingo: Enterprising patriots supporting the travel industry run to paraguay to get pressed herb otherwise destined for Brasil, and...
mircea_popescu: entrepreneursheep!
BingoBoingo: Shortage averted.
BingoBoingo: Police identify smuggled paraguayo by the packaging
BingoBoingo: The folks who help cars park in the city also get Paraguay to flip
mircea_popescu: wtf, they don't even repackage ?!
mircea_popescu: 100% like ny cig smuggling.
BingoBoingo: Hard to repackage the Paraguay, its pressed for transit to Brasil
BingoBoingo: Can't exactly fluff up flowers already smashed
mircea_popescu: aha
mircea_popescu: could macha it or w/e i guess. but yeah.
BingoBoingo: It is what it is. Uruguay legalized the stuff and yet the locals can't gorw themselves into an Oregon problem
mircea_popescu: https://news.netcraft.com/archives/2018/08/24/august-2018-web-server-survey.html#more-26685 << in other lulz, netcraft estimation of active websites, flat for EIGHT YEARS RUNNING.
mircea_popescu: (their method of evaluating "activeness" is to remove content, keep html tag structure, and only count each structure once. supposedly it gets rid of autogenerated crapola.)
diana_coman: wow, congrats asciilifeform on c101pa!
asciilifeform: diana_coman: to be very specific, i did not properly break cr50. what i found instead was an apparently-Official (albeit undocumented) knob in the most recent fw release, which does equiv of rma unlock ( sets all of the permission bits for console ) and enables spi bus access, through which can r/w the main and ec fw turds.
asciilifeform: what this does, is remove the 'nobus' aspect of the thing, nao anybody can r/w the fw via the snake.
asciilifeform: what i have not found a way to do, is to neuter cr50 in the sense originally wanted , where it turns into simply battery controller and nobody can rewrite from snake.
asciilifeform: fwiw i can also nao control 'pinmux' ( the built-in gadget that connects arbitrary lines on the pcb to arbitrary others ) and various other vendor knobs
asciilifeform: there also appears to be a knob that switches off the usb console entirely, but i have not tried it yet, will test when i'm about to throw out the current mobo i have in there (with the damaged mouse connector) and put in new one (i have replacements)
asciilifeform: ( for those who did not follow the orig c101pa threads : the box has ~three~ firmware turds: 1) main (8MB) bootloader 2) EC (little arm thingie, has own console , controls all of kbd but the power and reset lines, as well as various voltages, and battery charger) 3) cr50 -- controls power/reset lines, inits the charging brick, and 'god mode' debug over the other 2 chips, i.e. cpu and EC )
asciilifeform: i did get the unlock to persist across reboots, last night.
asciilifeform: ( if main fw is allowed to boot into 'non-dev' mode, it clears it, but once we wipe it and replace with cuntoo fw, this will not happen )
asciilifeform: imho the ideal setup for this box (which has ~4~ nonvolatile roms -- the 3 above, and the 16GB ssd soldered onto mobo) is to put uboot in the main fw, and cuntoo ~installer~ on the 16GB ssd, which will boot if blank sd card is inserted, and install cuntoo on the latter; and subsequently boot off sd. this way the box will not slowly wear out the nonreplaceable internal ssd.
asciilifeform: this will give a setup where a box separated from its sd, is 'unsecret', and can be expected to be identical to other cured units.
asciilifeform: other item, is that a main bootloader built for this thing, theoretically will also work on the c100pa, which has no cr50.
asciilifeform: ( in so far as i can tell, those boxes are identical, aside from older rockchip (4 core, vs 6) , smaller ram, and cylindrical dc power supply connector instead of usb-c )
asciilifeform: i'ma let mircea_popescu make the call re whether these finds add up to a 'let's make lappys' or not yet.
asciilifeform bbl,teatime
diana_coman: asciilifeform, to me that still sounds like quite a big step ahead
asciilifeform: diana_coman: on one hand, it makes for straight recipe for cuntoo lappy; but on other, it would still be slightly syphilitic , i.e. not wholly scrubbed of googlism ☟︎
asciilifeform: in (mostly) unrelated lulz, recently asciilifeform found himself visiting several different crapple shops, and standing in a queue for hours, sov-style, simply to submit for repair a crapple lappy (2 yr old !) with swollen battery, whole thing looked like spoiled food tin ☟︎
diana_coman: the unique apple experience!
asciilifeform: and, lulzily, not only do they charge coupla hundy for this, but they ~glue it in~ to make harder to replace ( chinese of course sell replacement, with bottle of acid to dissolve the glue, takes whole day, but this does not unbend the keyboard, mousepad, chassis, that bend from the swell )
diana_coman: asciilifeform, re "not wholly scrubbed" - I've been cleaning eulora code for years and it's still not fully scrubbed of ps shit, so..
asciilifeform: diana_coman: at least that one's scrubbable, rather than in drm rom
diana_coman: to me apple stuff is still essentially a fashion item and yes, usually that comes with insanity as far as I can tell ☟︎
diana_coman: in principle yes; in practice, I'm not sure anymore where does scrubbing end essentially ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fashions aside, if you're misfortunate enuff to need a recent x86-64 lappy where can attach large external displays, wifi, etc without aeons of config tweaking and flaky, yer stuck with crapple
diana_coman: aeons of config tweaking or aeons in queue apparently?
diana_coman: at any rate: sucks
asciilifeform: it's for heathen work, for moneys.
asciilifeform: ftr this was their last even half-usable box, right before they took away the f-keys.
diana_coman: well, at least if they pay you for staying in the queue...
diana_coman: I suppose that's also not that uncommon "productivity improvement" via "latest tech"
asciilifeform: crapple has never not sucked, but the battery glue is imho a new low. gotta wonder what's next, maybe spikes will randomly emerge from the kbd
asciilifeform: ( i would say 'catches fire' is next, but then recalled that this is already not uncommon, and not merely in crapple machines )
diana_coman: well, it looks pretty :D
diana_coman: the spikes idea sounds cool too, maybe suggest it
asciilifeform: i can already picture it : 2y from nao, asciilifeform will be posting re crapple box where there's tank of poisonous brazilian caterpillars in place of battery, and they broke loose, and gotta stand in queue to have'em replaced, and meanwhile crawling up sleeves
asciilifeform: and it'll still be preferable to microshit.
asciilifeform: ( since mircea_popescu is asleep, i'ma have to put in placeholder for the oblig thread, [ m: 'you deserve this for working for a living, idjit' a: '...' ] )
diana_coman: lol!
asciilifeform: hey, i suspect the caterpillar battery is inevitable : 'ecological!111'
asciilifeform: it isn't any moar outrageous than the butane-filled refrigerator BingoBoingo found himself with ☟︎
asciilifeform: and , fwiw, asciilifeform would rather live in su circa 1982 and design little calculators for 'elektronika'. but nobody asked him.
asciilifeform: upstack -- folx who aint condemned to work with crapple artifacts, can laugh off the idiocies, but they spread like pestilence to other vendors, e.g. glossy lcd, glued-in battery, gpu soldered with balls that thermally cycle and guaranteed to come loose in 3-4 yrs, have already become ~ubiquitous in other portable boxen
asciilifeform: or take the 'dollar store' quality kbd. already sop in all lappy.

Mocky: I'm getting "#pizarro :Cannot send to nick/channel" so will just drop this here: I created a dir named 'wwwhabeeb' in my shared hosting account. can you set me up to have domain mockyhabeeb.com be fed from that?
asciilifeform: mod6: plz add Mocky to #p voice
mircea_popescu: Mocky need to identify with nickserv, they prolly put +r on ; why new domain i don't get it ?!
mircea_popescu: use your blog, that's what you have it for.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: giant artillery is a fertile field , imho ( take for instance the concept of evacuated barrel. impressive results even among basement aficionados with air rifles, in these )
asciilifeform: expensive, but for same dough as the usg gigantic laser nonsense can get much bigger bang.
mircea_popescu: i even saw ancient "invention", was pretty entertaining : barrel has holes cut, through which walls can fall in. as the projectile moves through barrel it clicks the supports walls fall behind it, leaving a chamber. low pressure (ordinary 50kg air compressor) resulting in common bullet shooting at supersonic speeds.
asciilifeform: supersonic per se is not so difficult to achieve, ordinary air rifle gives routinely
mircea_popescu: right.
mircea_popescu: but usually with tiny pellets. this fired 50-100g sorta things.
Mocky: mircea_popescu, it's not new just sitting unused. I'll use blog, yes. If I find a use for the alternate, will be ready to go
mircea_popescu: a ok.
mircea_popescu: but do not fall into the trap of "this is for engineering and this is for fucking and this is for..."
asciilifeform: ( btw modern air rifle, not the break-open type but the refinement of the austrian 1700s concept, where you pump for hour to fill the bottle, is mighty impressive item, i have one here for pest control, readily punches hole in several wooden planks laid together )
mircea_popescu: a man divided upon himself can not stand. let people looking for mockybot gaze upon mockycock, it's good for them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform truth be told ordinary air can get packed pretty tight before it becomes degenerate matter.
asciilifeform: this one takes ~300 atmosphere
mircea_popescu: http://www.northshorecompressor.com/ << dealers wanted!
asciilifeform: the interesting bit is that you can get the 300 atm by ~hand~
asciilifeform: takes a while tho.
mircea_popescu: anyway, https://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server2200/84dac/product_images/uploaded_images/nc-20-industrial-web.jpg << 6k psi item not so big deal
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform takes a while and very good quality mechanicals.
asciilifeform: takes about 40min, if you're in shape
asciilifeform: can use electric compressor, as mircea_popescu's photo, but these are finnicky & expensive, need regular oiling
asciilifeform: folx who fill diving tanks, use these.
mircea_popescu: for humans, 6k psi ~= 40 kn/mm^2
asciilifeform: it is interesting to consider the austrian rifle -- was 'wunderwaffe' of its time, picture, <1s/shot , and iirc 50+ shots on one bottle, with ~= energy to musket of the time
asciilifeform: was finnicky/expensive tech tho, and did not catch on
asciilifeform: their compressor was a thing resembling old school fire brigade pump, the kind with seesaw handle
mircea_popescu: still, you have to have finely machined fine alloys.
asciilifeform: interestingly the weak point was not the metals, then, but the pressure gasket. they had to use leather.
asciilifeform: which had to be wet.
asciilifeform: dry air -- leaks.
mircea_popescu: as anyone who's ever had surpise sex knows.
asciilifeform: erry time i read about 'faberge' era tech, astonished re what was possible
asciilifeform: consider von kempelen's creations, say.
mircea_popescu: quite.
mircea_popescu: certainly well the fuck more was possible than http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846916 bullshit. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 17:31 mircea_popescu: they didn't merely lose the sale ; but specifically sov-style she was "asked to leave".
asciilifeform: lolyes
mircea_popescu: speaking of both artillery and teh anglo-jewishness, i find it funny there's so much hay about agincourt etc, but hardly ever mentioned teh equally lulzy battle of castillion.
mircea_popescu: anglos were thoroughly fucked up by french artillery there.

mircea_popescu: ha!
lobbes: hmm looks like the system date was reset on teh rockchip on restart; fucked up the post url. one sec. will fix
lobbes: aite, here's the updated link >> http://blog.lobbesblog.com/2018/09/logbot_command_router_python-genesis/
mircea_popescu: lobbes ye olde link 404s. sadly i'm affraid this particular corner case wasn't covered in mp-wp user friendliness, doesn't autofix it.
asciilifeform: lobbes: rk has no battery in rtc, you gotta set its clock on boot, yes
