assbot: config-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1C9m3H6 )
nubbins`: latest
asciilifeform: nubbins`: he has a patch.
asciilifeform: that's the boojum, i think
assbot: linux-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1.patch - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1C9mhOu )
asciilifeform: guess what, i built a kernel
asciilifeform: that boot
asciilifeform: ... and promptly panics
asciilifeform: (because no root fs)
asciilifeform: but hey, works
asciilifeform: using -vanilla buildroot-
nubbins`: oh cool
asciilifeform: make sheevaplug_defconfig
nubbins`: see line 615 in above
asciilifeform: that's it
asciilifeform: didn't use any of the weirdo crap from above link
nubbins`: woo!
asciilifeform: tomorrow evening i'll 1) flash in the rootfs to get something like a working box
asciilifeform: 2) mercilessly root out the idiot crud that gets rolled in by default
asciilifeform: (sound cards, etc)
nubbins`: amazing
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
nubbins`: THAT'S THE SPIRIT
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: habemus kernelam
mircea_popescu: who won ?
mircea_popescu: sheeva ?
mircea_popescu: so this is a sheevaplug brew of what, netbsd ?
asciilifeform: linux 3.18
nubbins`: so you didn't need anything from that patch file?
asciilifeform: apparently not
asciilifeform: the interesting parts were rolled in some time ago in mainline, apparently
asciilifeform: just as i suspected
asciilifeform: 7089334f25a0e1d8b09db96da4d61fbdf7ea7aca258fdd20012f85be976c39e63f5bc29842b25f0dc18a8ccdc74ad1e7c4ed7af56faa39b3917f76e082077589 turdel.gz
BingoBoingo: !up pete_dushenski
nubbins`: actually, looking at the pogoplug-related entries in that patch, it's all trivial stuff
nubbins`: front LEDs etc
asciilifeform: nubbins`: not entirely
asciilifeform: nubbins`: there are some memory-mapped i/o iirc
asciilifeform: anyway whoever wants can boot up turdel using my tftp instructions (or by actually flashing it in) and see that it did happen.
asciilifeform: (it croaks, having no meaningful rootfs, but that's for tomorrow)
nubbins`: oh, yeah, i see em
nubbins`: eject button too!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: netbsd i had running weeks and weeks ago. but it sucks for reasons already described in log
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: today by popular demand i went on a little deathmarch and got a source-built traditional linux going on it.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 16476 @ 0.00022407 = 3.6918 BTC [+] {2}
mircea_popescu looks for a virgin or 40
asciilifeform: this is amply enough to work from
asciilifeform: and can be trimmed into some approximation of good shape.
mircea_popescu: so then, this + 32bit bitcoind and we're done.
mircea_popescu: (in the sense of having a miserable memory leaking low cost node)
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 01:20:19; mod6: alright, new droplet created for x32 deb6 testing.
asciilifeform: the one ingredient that is still needed, that i have not attempted at all, is the formatter
mircea_popescu: linux doesn't come with one ?!
nubbins`: fdisk in crontab to be safe
asciilifeform: that is, which detects 1) have we a disk plugged in? 2) if so, has it a blockchain? 3) if plugged in, no blockchain - format disk
asciilifeform: 4) start bitcoind (in reset death loop)
asciilifeform: it is also of great importance to blink the correct colour led!
nubbins`: yah!
asciilifeform: or else how is operator to know what becomes of his node
asciilifeform: maybe disk is dead
asciilifeform: maybe net connection dead
nubbins`: have the eject button send us a message on irc or something
asciilifeform: nubbins`: pogo4 has no buttons
nubbins`: ah, i thought the purple logo'd one did
trinque: up to the operator to deploy updates later?
asciilifeform: what updates.
trinque: 0.5.3.1 is perfect?
BingoBoingo: <trinque> 0.5.3.1 is perfect? << C doesn't do perfect
asciilifeform: if you must, signed updates
asciilifeform: but i wasn't even thinking of this.
asciilifeform: anyway since when do i have to decide this
asciilifeform: therealbitcoin chairmen, awaken
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6 ?
trinque: bet you could tell it about updates just like deedbot
nubbins`: asciilifeform: my pogo has an eject button :S
asciilifeform: nubbins`: does it actually press?
asciilifeform: also whoever it was who marvelled (l0l) at pogo being a 32bit arm - 64bit is lunacy on a box with 128m of ram and no swap
asciilifeform: it just makes pointers take up 2x the space
asciilifeform: and bloats exe by ~2 factor
nubbins`: granted, it doesn't *do* anything atm
asciilifeform: the designer made an entirely rational choice
nubbins`: but it's at least a real button
asciilifeform: nubbins`: would you care to post a photo of the unit ?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: because it is quite clearly different from mine
ben_vulpes just cracked the craptop
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: another ingredient, since you were making a list, is the seed list
nubbins`: ^ that's yours, not mine
nubbins`: next to eth
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall how it has a gigantic seedlist consisting of mostly corpses, compiled in ?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: -that- button
asciilifeform: i have it too
nubbins`: i had to double check
asciilifeform: thought yours might have had a button under the lamp
nubbins`: no. pressed it like 5x to make sure
nubbins`: i wish :/
nubbins`: instead you need a toothpick
asciilifeform: if ben_vulpes and mod6 decide that we must have an updater (signed, naturally) i suggest that the button be used to trigger it
asciilifeform: loading from attached storage of course
asciilifeform: (not the net)
asciilifeform: at the very minimum, development units ought to have it
ben_vulpes: for pogos?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: long thread re: pogo.
ben_vulpes: no shit.
nubbins`: if we end up jamming the os onto the nand, you could have it scan SD cards on insert for patches
ben_vulpes: since when is the pogo my project?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: tomorrow rootfs in nand
asciilifeform: the kernel i just posted, sees the nand.
nubbins` cheers
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: in as far as it may end up the first battlefield deployment of 0.5.3.x - aha.
nubbins`: danielpbarron's project if anyone's 8)
nubbins`: well. alf's if anyone's !
ben_vulpes: yeah, that.
asciilifeform: lol i cleaned a cm of dust off my pogo today.
BingoBoingo: !up Dannyl
ben_vulpes: a cm?!
nubbins`: far be it from me to assume ;D
ben_vulpes: dc air must be miserable
asciilifeform: nah just me
nubbins`: who's got pogos anyway
asciilifeform: i presently am sitting on no fewer than 12.
asciilifeform: and i think mod6 had a bunch
nubbins`: i'll have 3 at some point this week
ben_vulpes: that's a lot of dust...
nubbins`: dpb has at least one
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu iirc had some
nubbins`: hundreds!
asciilifeform: and possibly punkman
nubbins`: hmm yes
asciilifeform: i'm almost beginning to not-regret picking that machine
asciilifeform: having finally booted a reasonable linux
nubbins`: i've got some nebulous plans to kit-ify these & sell em
ben_vulpes: you like things?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: didn't say 'like,' l0l
ben_vulpes: couldn't resist, boss
asciilifeform: nubbins` do you think you could do a print of some kind over the lid?
asciilifeform: or other parts of chassis
asciilifeform: i was considering lasering mine
nubbins`: some sort of vinyl sticker would be easiest/cheapest
asciilifeform: eh chinese
nubbins`: you wouldn't even need to apply the sticker yourself, people like doing that stuff
asciilifeform: stickers are so 10 yrs ago when we all had that gnu with horns on laptops
BingoBoingo: Does anyone have a python script for computing the odds of adult male of supplied height and weight versus (Y) pack of coyotes if armed with a tack hammer?
nubbins`: you'd want solvent inks to silkscreen on that, and yuck
asciilifeform: nubbins` laser then.
nubbins`: it's too bad the name is already stamped into the top
nubbins`: you could laser a byline or smth tho
asciilifeform: nothing a 40w laser can't fix
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 7399 @ 0.00021258 = 1.5729 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: now result might be a heap of slag where the logo was
nubbins`: anyone here have a lead on custom injection-molded plastics?
asciilifeform: but ought to try
asciilifeform: nubbins`: if you think pcb is expensive, try injection-molded anything.
nubbins`: recall fake bomb detector story, the one thing the guy always brought when he ran was the tooling
asciilifeform: l0l aha
asciilifeform: ok, quick likbez on 'buildroot'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, others :
asciilifeform: 'buildroot' is this mega-automaton for building cross-compiled os for routers and the like
asciilifeform: it builds, in this order 1) toolchain (using local gcc) for target cpu - gcc and binutils
asciilifeform: 2) kernel
mod6: <+asciilifeform> and i think mod6 had a bunch << naw, don't even own one yet.
asciilifeform: 3) userland (rootfs image for stuffing wherever, nand in our case)
asciilifeform: the thing is mega-configurable and very baroque
ben_vulpes: <nubbins`> ben_vulpes mod6 mircea_popescu and other interested parties: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=uJQDaKcz << neat
asciilifeform: my notion, as of a month plus ago, was to bake the entire orchestra into a buildroot
trinque: my pogo's promised to me by the 3rd
asciilifeform: that is, the same crosscompiler it builds, that builds kernel etc. will also build bitcoind and its deps
nubbins`: ben_vulpes block=191668 !
asciilifeform: the result ought to be a self-contained bag of shit that, when executed on any reasonable unix, eventually churns out a set of images suitable for flashing to a 'pogo'.
asciilifeform: and yes, this means we freeze gcc, ulibc, etc. in time.
ben_vulpes: <nubbins`> mod6 i should stress that *none* of the hardening options are included in that makefile, and it really should not be used for anything other than reference << see, reference y'all
nubbins`: S-CBOS
nubbins`: i like it
ben_vulpes: it pins the protocol
asciilifeform: there we go
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes gets.
ben_vulpes: it's a subtle rapier, not a thing for use in anger.
ben_vulpes: leastaways no time soon.
asciilifeform: little secret re: 'in anger' - ada doesn't need an os...
asciilifeform: (got its own scheduler, aha)
ben_vulpes: k well write a bitcoind then shiva
asciilifeform: i intend to
asciilifeform: but this wasn't a secret, was it
asciilifeform: but it will be some time before anyone is faced with question of what to do with my ver.
ben_vulpes: don't ask me what everyone doesn't know
asciilifeform: i will admit that, with regards to the reference version (let's call it 'traditional') i am especially interested in a tandem-operable variant
ben_vulpes: tandem-operable?
asciilifeform: that is, one which (or, even better, its subcomponents) can be ran in lockstep with another nominally-equivalent program
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: imagine you're mircea_popescu
ben_vulpes: i do this regularly, but in what scenario today?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: and one of the folks here (not guaranteed that it'll be me) writes a spiffy 'ab initio' bitcoind
trinque: right, you'll want to check them against each other before making the leap
trinque: if you ever actually leap
asciilifeform: trinque: because of the difficulty, and ultimately the very real practical limits of programmatic proof, tandem is likely our fate for many years.
asciilifeform: or at least the fate of truly serious folks with much to lose
trinque: asciilifeform: will also be useful to out any fuckery of the phoundation client later down the chain
asciilifeform: (i for one will happily jump with the parachute i packed for self. but my carcass isn't worth especially much)
ben_vulpes: i don't understand what's so special about 'tandem operable'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: good question:
nubbins`: there's no POSIX standard for bitcoin
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you *built* a chute?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the implication is that various internals are accessible, and flow can be stopped
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: not literally
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: referring to a tradition in certain armies where men are expected to wrap own parachute
asciilifeform: and sign it
asciilifeform: before it is used
asciilifeform: 'i packed this. --mr grunt'
ben_vulpes: right.
ben_vulpes: gotcha.
asciilifeform: then, if they find a pancake, there is no question of 'whodunit'
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> you can't postpone everything until everything else just like you can't have everything louder than everything else. << i think i found where this started
asciilifeform: (fwiw, my father informs me that this custom was unknown in his unit, and only expert was trusted with wrapping chutes)
nubbins`: whoever survived the first time they tried the signatures was deemed an expert and dispersed throughout the other units
ben_vulpes: hyuuu
asciilifeform: the photo mats randomly posted today is, incidentally, a picturesque metaphor for what we're doing.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 19:20:12; mats: http://i.imgur.com/09FTJTl.jpg pictured: one partially disassembled hellfire missile
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes mod6 what do you two figure is a realistic timeline for "bitcoind version that doesn't allocate memory without checks and so doesn't crash in THAT particular way" ? << this actually raises the all-important question of priority list
ben_vulpes: ah hey check it out!
ben_vulpes: i get to strike #1 off the foundation todo list!
ben_vulpes: Goals:
ben_vulpes: 1. Cut a build
nubbins`: woop
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: guess what #2 is
nubbins`: jam it on a pogo!
nubbins` zips lips, raises hand
ben_vulpes: nubbins`?
nubbins`: spoke outta turn!
ben_vulpes: i'm calling on you lol
ben_vulpes: and no, it's not pogo
asciilifeform hasn't a clue
nubbins`: REGRESSION TESTING!
ben_vulpes: bastard block fix.
nubbins`: YEAH!
ben_vulpes: nubbins` pre-release regression testing is pretty dumb-dumb right now
ben_vulpes: build
ben_vulpes: sync with mainnet
ben_vulpes: well, send *to*
asciilifeform: eh i know it isn't 'sexy' but don't forget the seed list.
ben_vulpes: then send *from*
asciilifeform: the one that's in there now is unusable.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: right hang on let me diddle this text for a second
nubbins`: we'll need more seeds
asciilifeform: and did the dns seed snip ever get merged ?
ben_vulpes: maybe?
asciilifeform: aha so it's pointing straight at phoundation's dns
ben_vulpes checks turdolator
asciilifeform: they can send the whole lot of us to dev/null
nubbins`: i don't think so
nubbins`: almost certainly not, no
ben_vulpes: anyone who runs without -connect is asking for it in the arse.
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 04:21:10; trinque: up to the operator to deploy updates later?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually he can't
mircea_popescu: that's my point.
mircea_popescu: serviceable 19 dollar units ? gtfo.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if 'humane' can open shell when that programmable button near the jack is pressed
mircea_popescu: once they make a 4gb unit for ~25 we'll think about it ?
ben_vulpes: http://dpaste.com/3F70MCT.txt << current contents of foundation hopes and dreams and todos list, attn asciilifeform, mircea_popescu, mod6, nubbins`, decimation, trinque et al
asciilifeform: personally what i'd do is look for and verify foundation gpg sig on tarball on sd card when button pressed
asciilifeform: and no other behaviour
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 04:33:41; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu iirc had some
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and now you gotta add gpg and debug it and srsly...
mircea_popescu: forget it, you want to upgrade get a new unit.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gpg fits handily on the nand
ben_vulpes: heh i like that.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if these were still made and we could parachute them around the world - that'd be one thing
asciilifeform: but they aren't
asciilifeform: and we haven't so many.
mircea_popescu: so then we buy more.
asciilifeform: and getting physical objects from one place to another is still pretty hard.
mircea_popescu: no dude. you're trying to raise the engineering bill by 1000s of dollah to save pennies.

nubbins`: shame
mircea_popescu: nubbins` can you store a pellet ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rolling in gpg1 is 1000s ?

mircea_popescu: ok, im redefinining my addictives list
asciilifeform: we already all hang from that particular parachute!
mircea_popescu: it's not just opioidis and nubbins`, it's also overengineering

nubbins`: no kidding

mircea_popescu: but importantly, your skepticism, while amply affirmed, is not supported by anything else. so you're skeptical of x theory, as an aesthetic matter. good for you. what's that do ?

BingoBoingo: enough
BingoBoingo: Do they, no

BingoBoingo: <cazalla> but if it's you turning up blind drunk and acing a test, i'd believe it << Since 1998 when the injun store stopped carding me
cazalla: BingoBoingo, ya know i use to get carded when i was 16, but i was smart enough to know the guy working at the bottle shop probably couldn't subtract my age from the current year, so he would glance at my provisional drivers licence and ring up my drinks no probs
cazalla: my dob i means to say
mircea_popescu: this "carding" thing...
BingoBoingo has alway done the deception thing
cazalla: means something else where you're from eh mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu had a drink at his junior high prom. which was held in a bar. because romanians didn't actually give a shit.
mircea_popescu: the other kids didn't, because kids.
BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu had a drink at his junior high prom. which was held in a bar. because romanians didn't actually give a shit. << Wait Wut, you only had one drink at prom? Junior year I was trying to keep pace with Anya.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, ease up, he's a light drinker
mircea_popescu: that's kinda the thing, if it's not a big deal it just... isn't a big deal.
mircea_popescu: cazalla heh notrly. my high mark is putting away something over a liter of 50% moonshine and then walking out.
mircea_popescu: i suspek that makes me a heavy drinker, at least at the time.
BingoBoingo: Drink is totally not a big deal. In the same way standardized tests in the US are not a big deal. The cost to pass maximally is trivial.
mircea_popescu: but in truth i dun really drink like i used to.
cazalla: i suspek gypies sell non-alcoholic wine to young romanian men as american's sell oregano to the teens :P
mircea_popescu: i never saw non-alcoholic wine in yurp.
mircea_popescu: real thing too abundant.
cazalla: yeah my opa use to make it, locked him in the cellar once, such a hiding for that one
cazalla: the funny thing is, i could've left him in there but i was so frightened that i opened it so that he could beat me
cazalla: prob had war flash backs or something, he went fkn bananas
mircea_popescu: romania (at least the nw, where i'm from) is all about this particular plum distilate.
mircea_popescu: most respectable older men run their own stills, and they usually leak and are in basements
mircea_popescu: so when it's firing time... buncha very drunk dudes that swear they didn't drink a drop
cazalla: banned here, unless for extracting essential oils

cazalla: and whenever some dudes die from the methanol they produced, they make a big deal of it in the media to warn of the dangers of diy at home
mircea_popescu: the very notion that the govt would tell you what to do or not do... lol.
mircea_popescu: there's no methanol in this process.
mircea_popescu: actually, distilling fermented fruit can not yield methanol. it's ancient and perfectly safe at that.
BingoBoingo: Clean known moonsine stills here
BingoBoingo: From corn though
cazalla: mircea_popescu, must be making something else then, i have nfi, just hear in the media now and again
mircea_popescu: i think you gotta boil wood before you get crap like that.
cazalla: "Initial reports about the four men's methanol poisoning suggest it occurred when they tried to concoct grappa, a grape-based brandy."
cazalla: prob for the best i don't bottle my own, i'd be in perpetual state of drunkedness
mircea_popescu: they probably tried to "concoct grappa" out of office chairs or something.
mircea_popescu: seeing how one hundred thousand people made their own for decade upon decade without ill effect.
cazalla: well, if one is going to eat plastic food, may as well drink plastic too
mircea_popescu: anywya, if memory serves there's a good 10-20 degrees differential between ethanol and methanol boiling points.
cazalla: anyway, zzz for me
mircea_popescu: even if you start with a 50-50 mixture, keep the still open at ~75 degrees for half an hour, then you can just let it burn and collect the result.
mircea_popescu: nn c man
jurov: heh. my parents themselves started to give me wine.. at 15 or so :D
mircea_popescu: sounds about right.
jurov: <mircea_popescu> actually, distilling fermented fruit can not yield methanol << wait what???
BingoBoingo: My parents unlocked the scotch at 12
mircea_popescu: to which part ?
BingoBoingo: <jurov> <mircea_popescu> actually, distilling fermented fruit can not yield methanol << wait what??? << It totally can
jurov: i have held in my hand plum methanol, wtf if mircea up to
jurov: *is
BingoBoingo: jurov: He has an idealistic image of the old country
mircea_popescu: no dude, it's just fucking rare.
mircea_popescu: in the single digit ppm.
BingoBoingo: I've drank 98+ proof corn whiskey aged right with minimal fusile alcohols. Everyone wants their tradition to be the saint
assbot: Home Distillation of Alcohol (Homemade Alcohol to Drink) ... ( http://bit.ly/1EFwqRE )
jurov: "for example apple juice can have 0.2-0.3% methanol, or if derived from pulp by enzymatic degradation, the levels can be 2 to 3 times higher."
mircea_popescu: jurov there's two things : one, what you use and how you ferment it. two, how you distil.
mircea_popescu: but historically, methanol is "wood alcohol". ie, if you try to distil roadkill and old boots, you get a lot of it.
jurov: yes but that's very different from "can not yield"
mircea_popescu: otherwise, properly fermented plums specifically are so and so.
mircea_popescu: well i was talking of the traditional process as used, not of whatever random strange one may try.
mircea_popescu: you know these things get highly traditional / fixated.
mircea_popescu: but in any case : methanol has significant lower boiling point. which, again, means that even if you start with an equal part mixture, if you distil correctly you take it all out.
jurov: yes
mircea_popescu: well so that.
BingoBoingo is awfuly sure unregulated corn distillation products self has consumed in the past conatained far below te mandated fusile alcohols of the nao
BingoBoingo: If only fissible alcohols were a thing

danielpbarron: emerge: Maybe you meant any of these: virtual/libudev, dev-libs/libsolv, dev-libs/libsigsegv?

nubbins`: which might indicate that it's failing to parse something after /include

mircea_popescu: PeterL didn't we have the discussion with the complexity of aminoacids ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` this "chemically the same molecule" ... i can distinguish peppers and capsein.
mircea_popescu: now go make me a pickled cucumber.
nubbins`: i can distinguish marijuana and pure thc 8)
PeterL: what about them? chemists can say what they are, but might not be able to recreate them in the lab
mircea_popescu: PeterL they can't usefully say what they are, even.
mircea_popescu: human taste is sensitive to ppb in some lines. smell easily to ppm.
nubbins`: protip: the smell of nice marijuana is precisely the smell of thc
mircea_popescu: nubbins` sure, soime cases are more advantageous than others. now go distinguish a glass of wine from another glass of wine, chemically.
mircea_popescu: your competent oenologist can usually spot the year and most of the time the vineyard. not the region mind. the vineyard.
nubbins`: too many compounds bru!
mircea_popescu: i thought it was described.
PeterL: sure, you can identify the differing concentrations of various chemicals
nubbins`: oh, no doubt
nubbins`: everyone's seen a sommelier identify the vineyard by taste

nubbins`: okay, so that's why that step can't find it :D
danielpbarron: i see boost and openssl
nubbins`: working backwards, next step is to modify auto.sh
danielpbarron: i guess that means db isn't finishing
nubbins`: comment out everything in auto.sh but the chunk where it builds bdb
nubbins`: then run it, see what errors it throws
danielpbarron: oh weird, it does exist in there when i try with the prepatched 0.5.3.1
danielpbarron: this is output when i use the 0.5.3.1 release and the patched for 32 auto.sh

asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
ascii_field: danielpbarron: i'd like more specific info on how to make my own u-boot << i have a u-boot built from official source. the buildroot thing -also- builds a u-boot, as a matter of course, but i have not yet tested that one
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: no, nodes don't get updated << so, let's go into this in detail. they ship with all the seed ips they will ever have? for the record i proclaim this to be retarded. -keys- are the constants of our world, not ip addrs
ascii_field: i utterly understand the desire to 'tivoize' these things so they don't get turned into phoundation nodes by lamers. but this can be done without idiot waste.
ascii_field: once the twentybux boxes run out (and i expect that it will happen sooner rather than later) prepare to pay six times more for each node.
ascii_field: right now some bezzlatronic idiot is paying the difference
ascii_field: (the vendor is selling a loss-leader, hoping to attract chumps to its 5/mo. 'cloud' crapolade)
nubbins`: i think a lot of it is genuinely overstock too
ascii_field: likewise physical delivery is expensive. (witness kakobrekla's attempt to buy so much as one pogo and still have it 'feel disposable')
ascii_field: nubbins`: this also.
nubbins`: physical delivery, for me, bottoms out at ~$10usd
nubbins`: whether i buy 3 or 50
ascii_field: so, what, we're expecting operators to throw out perfectly good boxes to add a fucking seed node!?!
ascii_field: turning an ip address into a critical constant in a field-deployed machine paints a big fat target on that ip for usg
ascii_field: one of the few things usg is reliably good at is making a particular ip unusable
ascii_field: or emplacing own turd there
nubbins`: my ip address will be fine to use as a seed node, but it /may occasionally change/
ascii_field: nubbins`: there you go
ascii_field: hardcoded seeds - idiocy
nubbins`: and is thus useless for inclusion in a baked-in
ascii_field: there is no other side to this
nubbins`: now, i can gpg-sign my ip address and publish it somewhere when it changes
nubbins`: in fact, i can almost certainly have this process be automatic
ascii_field: nubbins`: this means gpg on the nodes
ascii_field: and updatatron
ascii_field: and mircea_popescu will say 'bah, unreliable, you're driving up engineering cost 1000 times'
nubbins`: gpg and curl, at the very least
ascii_field: i suggested this, yes
ascii_field: well, not curl
nubbins`: where's the seed list now, in a fucking .c file or something?
nubbins`: w/e it may be
ascii_field: can't rely on anything on the net staying put
ascii_field: SIGNED update would have to be on attached storage
ascii_field: plug in a card, if passes sig - used
nubbins`: updated seed list on sd card?
mthreat: back in sudamerica
nubbins`: the list'll be stale by the time someone gets a box
mthreat: after the land of chipotle
ascii_field: nubbins`: updated whatever
ascii_field: seeds, bitcoind image, hell, whole rom
ascii_field: but -signed-
ascii_field: and button must be held.
ascii_field: no automagic-anything.
nubbins`: there's gotta be a sane way to do this over the wire
ascii_field: user must consciously insist on update
ascii_field: nubbins`: silent wire updates are ipso facto insane
nubbins`: altho otw explicitly means you're not examining anything
nubbins`: "aha" 8)
ascii_field: user is free to examine the (signed) update on his own time
ascii_field: before firing it
ascii_field: (or not)
nubbins`: so this is all agreed, anything that can be modified should be signed
ascii_field: not proposing anything idiotic, e.g., it being ciphered in some way
nubbins`: this brings us back to the seeds
ascii_field: nubbins`: i am trying to knock some sense into the folks taking the 'no updates, throw'em out every time' folks
ascii_field: (who don't appear to be logged in at present, but, still)
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 05:08:35; mircea_popescu: serviceable 19 dollar units ? gtfo.
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 05:10:32; mircea_popescu: forget it, you want to upgrade get a new unit.
nubbins`: this is all fine and well
nubbins`: until you hardcode a thousand seed ips
nubbins`: and a week later they're all dead in the water
ascii_field: this is where the enemy excels
nubbins`: and there's you with half a blockchain
ascii_field: except they won't be dead, they'll be hosting phoundation syblics
ascii_field: *sybils
nubbins`: ha, there you go
ascii_field: and i disagree with mircea_popescu's hypothesis that 'enemy is stupid'. he is not stupid. he is being slow, so as to show off his sprezzatura.
nubbins`: this is getting dangerously closer to bringing the whole seed thing back to first principles, you know
ascii_field: give or take a few months, enemy starts to bark up the vaguely-correct tree.
ascii_field: nubbins`: ultimately the first principle is that pubkeys are the only valid locators for anything purporting to be human
ben_vulpes: i'm reading, asciilifeform
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: aha, there you are.
ben_vulpes: you'll note, not arguing.
ascii_field: good, ben_vulpes is thinking
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: don't hurry, think.
ben_vulpes: it seems you object to 2 things
ben_vulpes: i may be wrong and stupid, but i'm willing to be corrected and learn
ben_vulpes: 1) hardcoding of seeds by enemy
ben_vulpes: 2) using enemy's keys
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: wai wat?!!
ascii_field: i was objecting to hardcoding of seeds -by us-
nubbins`: what sort of handshake happens when you find a live ip in the seed list
ascii_field: warning that if we bake machines with unchangeable ip constants, this paints a fat blinking target on them
ascii_field: for usg
ascii_field: the only valid constant is keys.
nubbins`: you can't locate someone with a key
ben_vulpes: so if i might be forgiven for conflating things, should not any subset of the wot graph be able to use their own keys?
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: use their own keys for what ?
ben_vulpes: signing updates to seed list.
ascii_field: this is where you gotta make the call re: how much centralization you want.
ben_vulpes: if we're to entertain updating, operators *must* be able to update without foundation keys.
ascii_field: and where mircea_popescu wakes up and says 'now the machine is 1000x more complex, needs to know what wot is'
ben_vulpes: alternatively, with arbitrary keys.
ascii_field: meaning no key at all ?
nubbins`: suppose you get a box and then start suspecting we've been turned.
ben_vulpes: perhaps must be supplied with keys on initial flash
ascii_field: to tivo or not to tivo, that is the question
nubbins`: now you're stuck with a box with OUR keys being the arbiter
ascii_field: why would someone buy a box from therealbitcoin when he suspects we've been turned ?
nubbins`: s/when/before/
ascii_field: i'm fine with him having to buy a new box -then-
ben_vulpes: i thought boxes were user-flashed!
nubbins`: aha!
nubbins`: let him buy a banana cream pi or w/e
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: user-flashed possibly, from vendor state, but not into a configuration that is reflashable in the same idiot (remote exploit) way
nubbins`: fuck it, get it to scan a random /16 for .foundation nodes on first boot
nubbins`: sure, it'll take a couple days humming before it starts getting blocks
nubbins`: BUT W/E
ben_vulpes: lol y not
ascii_field: scan a random /16 for .foundation nodes << wai wat
ascii_field: how do you propose to distinguish friend/foe ?
ben_vulpes: there is no friend/foe
ascii_field: we have no mechanism for this
ben_vulpes: there are just nodes on the network
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: he use the phrase '.foundation nodes'
ascii_field: implies that these can be told apart from others
ascii_field: by machine
ben_vulpes: and it'll remain that way until the block download thing is fixed to a) track node quality and b) spot-check blocks provided by high quality peers
nubbins`: you can't have visible to users but invisible to usg
nubbins`: just can't
nubbins`: !up ascii_field
asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
nubbins`: anyway, consider the statement suitably modified
ascii_field: ultimately the only proper box is one where the only magical constant is an rsa key, and same key is also prominently burned into the chassis
nubbins`: i'm sure we all have at least a reasonably narrow range of IPs that'll be assigned to our nodes, even if they're dynamic
ascii_field: nubbins`: i don't
ascii_field: this is a very bad assumption
ascii_field: my isp is a mega-conglomerate which owns and uses multiple slash-eights
ben_vulpes: and shouldn't this discussion be looking at ipv6 as well?
nubbins`: lel, total country bumpkins here re: ip blocks obv 8)
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: i recommend strongly against ipv6 in this machine
ascii_field: multiple known bugs revolving around mostly untested ipv6 crud
ben_vulpes is a total country bumpkin re: anything combudder
ascii_field: i recall at least one that concerns marvell in particular
ascii_field: i don't even have ipv6 enabled on my lan, much less outgoing.
ascii_field: even if nothing else, complicates reading packet dumps
ascii_field: which any reasonable person does regularly
ascii_field: to see what lives in his home
ascii_field: at the risk of pissing off many, i will still say, screw ipv6
nubbins`: just thinking out loud here
ascii_field: i ban ipv6 in my home.
nubbins`: hardcode DNS servers and fill the seed list w/ hostnames instead of ips
ascii_field: 100% usg
ascii_field: usg has real time iron control over all of dns.
ascii_field: to a first approximation.
ascii_field: this is right back to phoundation's idiocies.
nubbins`: well i'm not running a namecoin node
ascii_field: nubbins`: don't need to (and same problems apply to it)
ascii_field: the only way to cut usg-controlled apparatus entirely out of the loop is to have the node get all volatiles (e.g., ip addrs) from files, on inserable media, -signed- by burned-in and prominently-advertised key.
nubbins`: how many ips (or live ips, if you prefer) in current seed list?
nubbins`: i think this is on the ml somewhere..
ascii_field: yeah i posted it.
ascii_field: ^ that was all i think
nubbins`: *six*?
mod6: you rang?
nubbins`: heh.
jurov: if seedlist is to be signed, then it can download it automatically, no?
nubbins`: so according to this, six live seeds would ostensibly be enough to bootstrap with
ascii_field: until they're shot
nubbins`: right.
nubbins`: then those six are useless
ascii_field: the only reason they are alive (and are they? i checked a good while ago) is that no one cared.
nubbins`: in the meantime, we've been using a different six since we sent out the first X units
nubbins`: cat-and-mouse
ascii_field: there will be considerably less cat'n'mouse if enemy -knows- that there can be no effect from chewing on the mice
ascii_field: and the only way this could be so is if there are no magic hardcoded ips.
ascii_field: you can't ddos an rsa key
ascii_field: or have it administratively forced to rout to ft meade
ascii_field: *route

asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
nubbins`: ascii_field so what's the path from rsa key -> seed node
ascii_field: nubbins`: i proposed a very simple one
nubbins`: maybe i'm being obtuse :S
ascii_field: nubbins`: node ships with no seeds. even without bitcoind binary. user inserts a storage unit on which he has placed a therealbitcoin-signed tarball. this gets eaten up.
ascii_field: repeat as necessary.
ascii_field: (and user presses button, yes)
nubbins`: a a a.
nubbins`: i gotcha
ben_vulpes: seeds included in tarball?
nubbins`: heh.
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: aha
nubbins`: any seed list made public by any means is a target
nubbins`: us cloaked ones forget about ddos lurkers in here
ascii_field: nubbins`: yes. but -how attractive- a target, will depend on how much damage can be done to our cause by shooting at it
ascii_field: hence the sheer lunacy of unchangeable ips anywhere
nubbins`: at this rate you're gonna have to get in the wot before someone tells you a seed ip
nubbins` blinks twice
ascii_field: nubbins`: bitcoin doesn't run on secret ips
ascii_field: that's a road to lameness
ascii_field: but there is a reasonably sane solution that doesn't involve secrecy
ascii_field: but simply 'we can move these at zero cost to us and ours if we want to, so don't bother shooting at them'
nubbins` gestures appropriately
nubbins`: foundation could publish a list of trusted seeds each month w/ state of the union
nubbins`: i don't know
ascii_field: why not.
nubbins`: also woot, 2x raspi & 2x pogo just showed up
nubbins`: seed list is in a source file?
nubbins`: or txt
nubbins`: beaut
nubbins`: monthly seed list updates
nubbins`: separate tarball
nubbins`: unit comes w/ instructions for use, that includes grabbing both the bitcoind tarball and a seed list tarball of choice
ascii_field: try to see, i don't suggest hosting therealbitcoin mega-seeds on dynamic ip consumer boxes
ascii_field: but on solid pipes somewhere, ideally
ascii_field: the movability is like nukes, shouldn't ever have to be -used- - with any regularity
ascii_field: it must be there to remind the enemy of his helplessness
nubbins`: so the switch from phoundation seeds to foundation seeds must happen after said pipes are tapped

ascii_field: foundation - therealbitcoin

ascii_field: this still doesn't give us a license to be retarded when making these
mircea_popescu: there can not be a power ranger node that can run on a pogo.
mircea_popescu: think about it. 20mb blocks ? srsly ?
mircea_popescu: no, itdoesn't give us a license to be retarded.

ascii_field: there is no mechanism for distinguishing a correctly operating node from one that will be until day X
mircea_popescu: overengineering is like cocaine.
ascii_field: the fucking attacked ips are actually more valuable than the damned pogos << they are not valuable because we can never prove they exist
ascii_field: even to our own satisfaction
ascii_field: i'll spell it out:
mircea_popescu: because they only exist halfway, like competent usg and able nsa ?
ascii_field: 1) we deploy boxes with magic ips
ascii_field: 2) usg redirects them to exact copies of our own boxes sitting in ft meade
ascii_field: 3) ages pass and we notice nothing. they switch theirs off when ours go off, etc. direct mitm
mircea_popescu: no measurable latency of this
ascii_field: 4) on day X they turn on the mitm diddlamatic and do... something
ascii_field: 5) ???
ascii_field: 6) profit
mircea_popescu: what fucking profit lol.
ascii_field: ask'em not me
mircea_popescu: ft meade gets to look like a kiddy pool i took a piss in
mircea_popescu: total profit.
nubbins`: so deploy them with magic ips and "check here monthly for updated seed list, the walls have eyes, sam is in the trees, etc"
mircea_popescu: wron side of the scoreboard, but sure, profit.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` that's a concentration of the problem.
mircea_popescu: now you have a "here"
nubbins`: the original seed list is a "here"
ascii_field: precisely why i didn't say 'network update'
mircea_popescu: right but you're adding a narrower version.
nubbins`: (and there, and there, and there...)
ascii_field: i said 'will eat update signed by key'
ascii_field: the key in mircea_popescu's ring, or wherever
mircea_popescu: ascii_field if you're so absolutely convinced, how about seedlist is a config file sits with blockchain on disk ?
trinque: ascii_field: that's what I proposed
ascii_field: that was what i asked for
trinque: an address sending transactions which indicate hashes of updates
trinque: of the seedlist, whatever
trinque: and yeah, then somebody is a point of failure
mircea_popescu: ascii_field seemed to me you're asking for an entirely something erlse, but anyway
mircea_popescu: iirc you were asking for a complex update gpg signature thing. not for a simple "move x text file from /sda to /sdb"
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> right but you're adding a narrower version. << so "check the usual places monthly", w/e
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 16171 @ 0.00024929 = 4.0313 BTC [-] {2}
mircea_popescu: nubbins` if it's not narrower just make it the seed list. bam back to square one.
mircea_popescu: you're trying to jump a fence by crawling on your back.
nubbins` shakes head
trinque: what if the seed list was encoded directly as transactions?
nubbins`: monthly state of bitcoin address, "check out these sweet seed ips"
trinque: trusted after some large number of confirmations
trinque: nubbins`: yeha.
nubbins`: "feel free to update the seed list that came w/ your device"
nubbins`: "it's been signed by us and our pubkeys shipped with your device"
trinque: I'm not even saying that
mircea_popescu: motherfucker.
nubbins`: THEN you only need to worry about the NSA intercepting the shipments.
trinque: encode IPs into outputs or something
mircea_popescu: build a cnc mill in every pogo, be done with it.
mircea_popescu: they could make dildos while brushing gf's teeth.
nubbins`: <+trinque> what if the seed list was encoded directly as transactions? <<< how you gonna get those transactions?
mircea_popescu: by infinite power.
mircea_popescu passes out "you suck at system design" dounce hats liberally.
trinque: eh ok
nubbins` sighs
trinque: obviously the thing has to connect to something first
trinque: if you wanted it to connect to other somethings later, either the natural way or some means of signaling
nubbins`: i'm suggesting shipping them with a hardcoded seed list *just like you are*
trinque: if you can't trust a txn that's very old, uh
trinque: bitcoin doesn't work
mircea_popescu: nubbins` do you mind ? i'm being mean over here.
nubbins`: i'm just also saying that /new seeds can be published in the future by the .foundation, if they want to/
nubbins` tips table over
mircea_popescu: was that a laser tip or an artisanal tip ?
nubbins`: mushroom tip
mircea_popescu: jus' the tip!
nubbins`: 's all that fits
mircea_popescu: (im kinda nonplussed that nobody even seems to realise seed list is only interesting on boot and these aren't intended to ever reboot, really.)
trinque: comcast will eventually go out
mircea_popescu: boot. not network outage.
mircea_popescu: how often does your 1.8 watt thing drain the ups ?
trinque: if they're consumer turds no ups
nubbins`: once every whoops i unplugged it
trinque: "fucking around behind the TV"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` onoes, you ruined 20 bux worht of old gear (plus shipping and handling!)
mircea_popescu: buy two plug them in diff bedrooms.
mircea_popescu: this is hopw the problem is solved in this space : buy more units.
mircea_popescu: i guess nobody ever played zerg hm ?
mircea_popescu: "dude that zergling's broken" "mmkay" "aren't you going to repair it ?" "wut ?! *click* *click* *click* *click* *click*"
nubbins`: nobody's gonna pay ten cents for something that breaks if you turn it off
mircea_popescu: it breaks if you turn it off && fort meade floats in the air above your house.
mircea_popescu: also known as, not a single seed ip remains.
trinque: anyhow I think any remote control of any kind is bad, mkay
trinque: but if they need some kind of signaling, signaling by blockchain is probably the safest
trinque: not "we trust this pastebin" or w/e
trinque: even gpg signed
mircea_popescu: in general. not when you're signalling how to get the blockchain.
trinque goes to find the length of the longest-ever fork
trinque: rather, fork which was abandoned
mircea_popescu: in any case, the "this thing breaks if it runs out of power at any point after the enemy (or more likely plain old rust) has destroyedall seed ips" proposition is better value than
mircea_popescu: "this thing breaks iof there's a bug found in gpg. or if we didn't implement signature checking correctly. or or or or"
nubbins`: trinque for all you know i forked the blockchain 2 years ago and am still shuffling my forked coins
mircea_popescu: trinque not an answerable q.
mircea_popescu: (and before anyone goes "how could we implement signature checking incorrectly", this was discussed mere days ago. === "no errors found" or what was it)
trinque: nubbins`: you can declare you've spent my coin? and others will be able to verify this?
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_field
mircea_popescu: trinque they can be empty blocks, still a fork.
nubbins`: trinque that's not what you were looking for 8)
nubbins`: mircea_popescu so are you proposing that all pogos ever sent out will contain 0.5.3.1 or w/e current release is when the first one goes out?
nubbins`: then it's sort of a self-solving problem
mircea_popescu: i propose whoever makes one puts w/e the fuck they want in there and that's that for the damned unit in question
mircea_popescu: and if you want to change, derp. change the production flux.
mircea_popescu: you know, like industry works since fortever. not like ford mondeo got recalled because hey, they got ford fluence out, so they'll conver them
nubbins`: obviously if the foundation is still producing new releases, it's going to be maintaining a seed list for that release, rather than just continuing to let the dead nodes build up
nubbins`: so if anyone particularly feels like they don't want their out of date unit to be so
nubbins`: they're 100% welcome to grab the latest foundation release, because obv it'll still work
nubbins`: it's just off-label usage as far as we're concerned.
nubbins`: ascii_field ^^ ?
danielpbarron: i know "time isn't really money" but however long it takes to upgrade one of these things is probably enough time to earn more than 20 USD working at McDonalds

mod6: this your roll-ur-own one?
asciilifeform: stock sheevaplug under buildroot
asciilifeform: nothing cut yet
mod6: ah
asciilifeform: though i think i have a handle on why
asciilifeform: it wasn't the ill-fated sandisk sata flash.
asciilifeform: dies like clockwork
asciilifeform: i suspect a watchdog timer
mod6: :(
asciilifeform: there is nothing random about this crash.
mod6: this aws "small" is so much slower than "medium"
nubbins`: a timer!

asciilifeform: nubbins`: classic cause of predictable and rapid death on embedded boxes
asciilifeform: nubbins`: normally a register where you have to flip a bit every S seconds or power cycled
nubbins`: sabotage
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i don't know for a fact that this is happening here. just a hunch
asciilifeform: based on working with many similar systems before.
asciilifeform: watchdogs aren't evil, they are a sad necessity in the world of typical c programmers
asciilifeform: or would you like to reboot your car's ecu manually.
asciilifeform: nothing printed on system log
asciilifeform: so not a panic
mod6: hardware problem?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> or would you like to reboot your car's ecu manually. << Plenty of people do to cars what you do to pogos
asciilifeform: this box is iron-stable running other items
nubbins`: this is vanilla 3.18 you're using?
asciilifeform: with whatever patches buildroot applies for kirkwood
asciilifeform: haven't read it all yet
asciilifeform: dies in 30.00 seconds of reset
asciilifeform: like fucking clock.
assbot: 3.18.3-1~exp1 : linux package : Debian ... ( http://bit.ly/1xAk0gL )
nubbins`: maybe not relevant
nubbins`: "[armel/kirkwood]: Enable DEBUG_MVEBU_UART_ALTERNATE to match the behaviour
nubbins`: of previous boardfile based kirkwood kernels. Otherwise the kernel silently
nubbins`: crashes during boot."
nubbins`: ugh. sry
asciilifeform: it doesn't die during boot
asciilifeform: if you're quick on your feet, you get some console time
asciilifeform: (i built it with rootfs cemented in kernel just as a quick test, to avoid having to flash the nand. i have kernel load from lan via tftp for tests. with rootfs and all contents, it is around 21M.)
asciilifeform: but this is pretty obviously a mishandled timer
asciilifeform: 'drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)' during boot
asciilifeform: dollars to doughnuts it ends up switching on the watchdog countdown.
asciilifeform: while trying to init the rtc
decimation: re: wine > I took a class on winetasting in undergrad
decimation: my perception is that there is some science to it, but it's mostly bs
asciilifeform: pp. 368 table 117
decimation: at least, the tasting and the 'valuation' seem to be disconnected
asciilifeform: (and no, it is not available in any format other than pdf, nor is it remotely readable if put through garbage compactor and turned into text, fucking deal with it)
asciilifeform: decimation: when you get above the 'recycled piss' price point, i suspect the 'valuation' is 100% 'veblen good.'
decimation: asciilifeform: aye, agreed.
decimation: which is why argentina and chile are good places to find deals on reds
decimation: particularly malbec
mod6: ok
mod6: bitcoind builds statically on gentoo with auto.sh (v0.0.5-32)
decimation: asciilifeform: if marvell are so keen on supporting 'open source' devel, why don't they support a proper kernel build?
mod6: there are some different warnings than i've seen before though. i'll rebuild the entire thing again for good measure and use `script` to record the build.
mod6: hang tight.
asciilifeform: decimation: they think their 2.6.something built with proprietary (segger?) buildatron is 'open source'
asciilifeform: i dropped the link to that turd here. can go and see for yourself
decimation: the problem with open source is that the source code might as well be on mars if nobody can read/use it
decimation: to be fair, I guess neither intel nor amd 'support' linux
decimation: except they probably both have staff working fulltime on the upstream kernel

decimation: why does this even need to be a law? isn't it obvious that if a flying object is 'harassing' you while you are armed, the proper answer is to shoot it?
BingoBoingo: decimation: Depends on what you are armed with. Shooting with shotgun fine. Proper rifle... Hard to tell when/where bullet is coming down after impact.
decimation: well, that's a fair point
mod6: ok one last thing before I rebuild... I needed to add the "-nodnsseed" to bitcoind upon start up otherwise it would just start and exit without doing anything
mod6: but now i've >10000 blocks
PeterL: sounds like a great new sport, like skeet shooting, but the target can move in any direction, just need to make a drone that is either so cheap it's disposable or which can withstand shotgun hits
BingoBoingo: Cheap to the point of disposable is prolly the better avenue
decimation: actually this raises an interesting jurisdictional problem - the faa claims jurisdiction over all airspace above 0 feet
decimation: how can the state of michigan regulate interstate commerce?
decimation: after all, the fcc claims to regulate your wifi
decimation: via the same interstate commerce clause
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, "ChangeTip BashCo" needs a comma?
danielpbarron: i wonder if that's the dude who banned me
BingoBoingo: Hard to say
nubbins`: well til what a watchdog timer is
nubbins`: asciilifeform the unit's got an rtc tho, it's just not seeing it?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: sees, fails to init
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i have no evidence that the two events are connected. mere suspicion.

mircea_popescu: romania has (had ?) some exceptional wines at 5-10 dollars a bottle.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: varies by locale
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when i say 'above recycled piss pricepoint' it means getting squarely above the 'for the poor' product category in usa
asciilifeform: which exists from wine to shoelaces
mircea_popescu: i broadly agree, but imo veblen-ness behaves strangely, as in : window. from about 100 to maybe 5 or 10k a bottle.
mircea_popescu: there's a very proper middle, there's good reason to pay 80 rather than 15.
asciilifeform can believe
mircea_popescu: there's a very proper top. there's a good reason to pay 850k
asciilifeform: what reason ?
asciilifeform: that item is now a 'rembrandt' and can be authenticated ?
asciilifeform: for an archaeological artifact - sure.
asciilifeform: but drinking your artifact is lunacy.
mircea_popescu: (this perhaps easily conglimerated with veblen - but is not same.
asciilifeform knows that it is not the same
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform similar phenomenon with virgin slavegirls.
asciilifeform: a 'rembrandt' here is simply an analogue bitcoin.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it occurs to me, that shavers character is like out of a novel. first he gets a civil supoena that he doens't ignore. then he self represents. and doesn't do homework. then he loses the suit. civil suit. he loses it. then he pleads not guilty in criminal proceedings.
asciilifeform: hell, in usa electronically setting off the shell is banned
mircea_popescu: someone needs to tell him this civil-criminal thing is as close as it gets to double jeopardy in the us
mircea_popescu: and preserved deliberately - to fuck up... well, basically, him.
BingoBoingo: It really is
BingoBoingo: Then again the major reason to retain an attorney in the us is to avoid spam

asciilifeform: and for the type of flying machine normally encountered, 'birdshot' ought to suffice
mircea_popescu: best way to lose an eye is shoot shotguns at armored targets.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Oh my strategy? I retain lawyers because it forces opposition to route annoying phone calls through attorney
mircea_popescu: not yours lol. his.
BingoBoingo: Consider the example of a US bankruptcy case. You can cheaply and easily represent yourself if indigent, however you have to handle communications with all of the debtors, or... You scrape together enough to retain an attorney who has a process for handling that annoyance and also retain your sanity.
decimation: re: wine < yeah my perception is that > $10-15 is generally good. more expensive wines are also good, but there are loads of pretenders trying to get by on geography
decimation: once had an excellent german trockenbeernauslese for $50 and it was worth every penny
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo or you could just pipe awk through sed

mircea_popescu: also somewhat of an aquired taste.

decimation: cabernet sauvignon (one of the bordeaux grapes) often has a tobacco flavor for instance
decimation: the impressive thing really is that the knowledgeable winemaker can bring out so many different flavors with just grapes, yeast, toasted oak, and time
mircea_popescu: "tobacco flavour" is kinda like "beautiful woman looks", but hey
mircea_popescu: it's not really like carving. it's farming.

nubbins`: wonder if "national liquidation" selling em on amazon would cut a deal
