mircea_popescu: i hadn't read that one.
funkenstein_: great story :)
funkenstein_: buenas dias
mircea_popescu: " It took mankind a million years to fill one small world and then only fifteen thousand years to fill the rest of the Galaxy."
mircea_popescu: if only. humans don't actually breed like that.
funkenstein_: perhaps the galaxy is already filled with something

mircea_popescu: asimov's idea of thermic end is kinda bizarre. it doesn't go to 0, it goes to "soup"
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 46100 @ 0.00026674 = 12.2967 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: through a process roughly similar to pair generation (which is how we even know black stars exist : spontaneously generated pairs which sum to zero but which are separated by the event horizon result in direct radiation of the black body), it is reasonable to expect even a thermically dead universe to display localised disturbances, permanently.
mircea_popescu: which is probably what the universe is in the first place : the big bang was... well... one such event, tiny in its proper scale.
funkenstein_: the concept of a universe seeks a proper definition
mircea_popescu: nah, it's defined alright. "universe" = "the lot that obeys the same laws"
funkenstein_: that's a better definition than most
mircea_popescu: pointedly opposed to the concept of cosmos (the lot of related parts)
mircea_popescu: a lot of human history can be readily understood by sieving it through the universe-cosmos duality
funkenstein_: so if my law is hurricanes spin counterclockwise.. we are now in different universes
mircea_popescu: except this is just your perception of a fundamental law.
mircea_popescu: an so your perception of different universes.
mircea_popescu: fucking incredible how bad the "definitions" peddled by online sites are.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i wonder how thinking people manage to put up with this indignity. it's really worse than any government bullshit. to not have a dictionary ?! barbarous.
mircea_popescu: anyway, asimov ends it with an intelligent design thing ? /me is disappoint.
mircea_popescu: and on that note... laters!

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

ascii_field: a traditional barcode can be decoded with your eyes, and some patience, to verify. try this with qr.
Chillum: yes, you can see that each number is the same pattern of lines
Chillum: qr is meant to be dense, not simple
ascii_field: the correct way to do 2-dimensional barcodes would be 1) traditional barcode laser pen, combined with 2) something like a small gramophone
Chillum: he shows how to turn on multi-code qrs, then mysql inject a computer attached to the reader
ascii_field: that way 1) reader is analogue, as the gods intended
Chillum: example of a reader being too smart
ascii_field: and 2) there is no 'picture in picture' idiocy possible
ascii_field: Chillum: that isn't the fault of the barcode gizmo, now, is it.
ascii_field: Chillum: may as well presume a winblows xp box, etc.
Chillum: the gizmo allowed special codes from the public manual to turn on features that were supposed to be off
Chillum: so it shares some of the fault
ascii_field: this is why i suggested an analogue driver of ps/2 kbd lines
Chillum: it went from fixed length only to variable length. The software was a fool to trust it though
ascii_field: it cannot behave as anything other than a keyboard. no matter how much it wants to.
Chillum: can it send keys like ctrl-alt-sysreq??
Chillum: a keyboard can do a lot of damage
ascii_field: Chillum: if your machine has magic keys, your problem
Chillum: rs232 seems better
ascii_field: also works
ascii_field: but harder!
ascii_field: because no clock.
ascii_field: rs232 is asynchronous
Chillum: I would use an arduino nano or something to decode and tx the data
ascii_field: i mentioned ps/2 kbd for specifically that reason
ascii_field: Chillum: NO
ascii_field: not analogue.
Chillum: you can use audit-able code
Chillum: so what?
ascii_field: why do this when you can have -no- code ?
ascii_field: the best code is no code.
Chillum: you are using the ps/2 driver for your code
Chillum: what about the bios? if the device is reset can you send keystrokes to the bios?
ascii_field: Chillum: read the specificity principle discussion linked earlier
Chillum: keyboard seems risky
Chillum: at least you need an OS present before the rs232 is read, keyboards are read before the OS is loaded
ascii_field: Chillum: why on earth would you spin the gramophone attached to a computer with no os loaded ?
Chillum: hostile user?
ascii_field: hostile user picks up the machine and takes it home.
Chillum: the device can have physical security with only a rs232 port within reach
ascii_field: he doesn't belong in any discussion of computer security.
Chillum: sorry, but a guy at the computer being hostile is certainly part of real word computer security
ascii_field: 'hostile user' connects it to mains.

ascii_field: IRRELEVANT to discussion of barcode machine.
Chillum: Well if I build something like this I won't hook the user input up to the port that controls the bios
Chillum: the keyboard port is basically the ultimate authority
ascii_field: Chillum: if your keyboard is 'ultimate authority' at all times, your system is misconfigured and you deserve to be owned.
Chillum: again, reboot, press F1, adjust bios
Chillum: I suppose you could put a bios password in, and disable all kernal triggers
ascii_field: Chillum: again, if i can sit down at your keyboard and immediately reboot, your box is misconfigured and you deserve to be owned.
Chillum: and find everywhere else modern OS's access the keyboard
Chillum: or you could use RS232 with a little microcontroller to read the upc
ascii_field: Chillum: if your box can be rebooted or otherwise interestingly reconfigured without root pw, you deserve to be owned.
ascii_field: if you play gramophone into a root shell, you deserve to be owned.

Chillum: yes that was obvious
Chillum: it won't have power when it is not plugged in

Chillum: TPM would be crucial
mircea_popescu: maybe this hasn't been thoroughly thought through.
mircea_popescu: what in insecure location b prevents it from making a copy of your key ?
Chillum: TPM monitored OS, and physical security. You don't want your cold wallet to have its keys in plaintext

SquirtPrincess: prior work would my niteflirt account or camsdotcom or nakeddotcom work

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ... dacha is kinda designed for man wife and girlfriend. << complicated. 'dacha' literally means '[that which is] given.' as in, granted as reward by the king. in soviet times, it was of course not 'given' (except to officials, but even then was not their personal property but more like obama's car.) but for normal folks, the standard was an unheated cabin and the regulation 100 sq. metres of garden.
asciilifeform: jurov: qr breaks most of what i think of as nice things about barcode
asciilifeform: e.g., human readable, but even if you can't be bothered to read - there is some rough correspondence between the length and the payload size
asciilifeform: with qr - no
asciilifeform: all qr look roughly alike
pete_dushenski: "Consider this bit of circumstantial evidence which the government which it alleges connects Force to one of his extortion sockpuppets" << this sentence is borked, BingoBoingo
asciilifeform: qr << and yes, i know what they are used for. but with the transparency they give, may as well be magnetic cards.

mircea_popescu: actually, if you could have < 1kb floppies i'd prolly use those too.
asciilifeform: you can
asciilifeform: good with a knife ?
asciilifeform: but in all seriousness - magstripe
asciilifeform: is a 1kb floppy.

mod6: many of us were able to build, not just me this time ;)
danielpbarron: i think that was me, and it's most likely a problem with my computer
mod6: there is a version number in the top of the auto.sh script, which version are you using?
mod6: oh. ok.
mod6: it's all good now?

mod6: ok, so remember, version that we have for auto.sh (v0.0.5 & v0.0.5-32) are NOT to be used for cross compiling.

decimation: the iranians probably manage it too
decimation: lol why do the chinese bother to make an m4gery
BingoBoingo: Well, the Iranians also fly F-14's

decimation: ^ re: ascii's point about modern jets being part of a large industrial base
asciilifeform: see also the gigantic pile of soviet jets in timisoara
BingoBoingo: decimation: Remember that direct sale of parts to Iran has been halted since Ayatollas have been a thing. Iran has had plenty of time to improvise machine shops
decimation: there's a difference between 'a machine shop' and the metallurgy required to make a high-performance jet engine
asciilifeform: not only metallurgy.
asciilifeform: american jets are heavy on semiconductor crapolade
decimation: usg knows precisely which necks to squeeze
asciilifeform: running hell knows what.
decimation: the swiss were famous for re-writing the f-16 code from the ground up
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what precisely is this ?
asciilifeform: and notice how all the 'severe findings' (?) entries were censored.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: US colleges whose every finaid dollar is "watch listed" except for the ~60 schools on the most severe watch list
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: are these listed in any discernible order ?
BingoBoingo: But seriously if given 3 decades the Iranians lack the foundries and forensics to duplicate the parts... Maybe Allah doesn't want them to be a nation-state
asciilifeform: because, if so, it may be possible to determine the snipped entries
asciilifeform: (even if no order. if the complete list can be found anywhere)
asciilifeform: ^ good qntra project ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I have yet to discern an order. Part of the reason why link dropped here and not on Qntra as "Oh look at how USia Squeezes Struggling Schools"
asciilifeform: they do appear to be sorted by state, for instance
decimation: I'm amused that usg distinguishes between 'proprietary' and 'private'
decimation: which I take to mean "submits to usg T/F"
BingoBoingo: Differnce is financial disinterested Board of Directors, vs. trying to save their investment Board of Directors
BingoBoingo: !up ebriusinanis
decimation: right, and the reason for 'disinterest' is because they expect usg to make them whole
BingoBoingo: Pretty much, though some public schools make it like Southern Illinois University's Carbondale campus. But that example is mostly because Illinois is American Somolia
BingoBoingo: List has some serious lulz though, like the entire fucking state of Minnesota at all levels being on the list
ebriusinanis: you guys still have school? i thought you had ipad nao?
ebriusinanis: oh look, he's swiping
BingoBoingo: ebriusinanis: That didn't start until my first grad school stint and it wasn't mainstream until the last sememster of the second stint
ebriusinanis: yeah well at least you learned wiping first
nubbins`: can't swipe without wipe
nubbins`: dat unsolicited pm

nubbins`: o-o-o-o-o!

hanbot: asciilifeform / gentoo-friendly folks: on emerge, do slot conflicts where the listed package is followed by 0 actually require manual resolution?
lobbes: kakobrekla: aha, thanks for the lulz. I was thoroughly confused for a second ;/
hanbot: not even sure i asked that correctly. suffice it to say, want to install a package, have been looking at successive blocked package and slot conflict warnings at each resolution attempt (for said pckg's dependencies), am (naively?) hoping at least some of these can be ignored
