phf: mircea_popescu's xchat specifically still does that. so his latin-1 encodable text comes out as such, otherwise it gets promoted to utf-8
phf: the way you deal with this madness you can see in the guts of a lot of irc clients: you try and decode just that line as utf-8, and if that fails, you decode it as latin-1.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha check him out, he unrolled the ball of yarn
mircea_popescu: nice going.
phf: oh there's a lot of shit like that in btcbase, that's what i was working on while not working on stability issues apparently
mircea_popescu: (ftr this is the irc protocol, even if many clients don't respect it. latin-1 with utf-8 fallback.)
mircea_popescu: used to be latin-1 with $arbitrary fallback, but THAT insanity (koi-9 chgannels, etc) blessfully went away.
mircea_popescu: in favour of you know, everyone shoving his insanity & watergun into "the same" balloon.
phf: but correct way of handling this in python, is to read() line by line, which returns whatever, ascii, then parse the [date] <nick> bits as ascii, then take the rest of line and try: msg.decode('utf-8') except: msg.decode('latin-1')
mircea_popescu: well technically the other way around, but whatevs.
phf: no no utf-8 is first, because latin-1 decoder will happily decode whatever, where's utf-8 will fail on umlauts and accent graves and such
mircea_popescu: latin-1 should fail on "nonprintables" or w/e they're called.
mircea_popescu: then again, i dun think anyone seriously maintained any of this in a decade+, so who even knows.
phf: and for the record, read in python doesn't ever fail, what fails is elevation from str to unicode that implicitly happens in places, like when you do "print" or inside the html encoder or whatever. the correct way is to treat "str" as a byte sequence, and explicitly do encode/decode when appropriate.
mircea_popescu: now this.
mircea_popescu: ALL CHARS ARE BYTES!
phf: yeah, that's how btcbase looks at it. messages are stored and mostly processed as utf-8 encoded byte-arrays

scriba: Logged on 2016-09-21: [16:59:50] <asciilifeform> quite canny.
mircea_popescu: which, given that it's not 2000 anymore, they can't reproduce.
asciilifeform: eh they've got spare piles o' shit, e.g., nacl, etc
mircea_popescu: so stuck importing utf, ntp, "open-sores-sl" etc into everything or bust
mircea_popescu: but anyway, to remind teh esteemed lordship that http://trilema.com/2016/gossipd-design-document/ is still open for comments etc.
asciilifeform has a very lengthy treatise in the works, but it needs a) trimming b) refinement, took mircea_popescu's 'stop sending gibblets' criticism to heart
asciilifeform: complete with asciiart.
asciilifeform: if doing something, do it well, etc
PeterL eager awaiting asciilifeform's response
asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://www.madewithcode.com , linked from google front pg, 'Learn about the women using code to change the world. Their inspiring stories demonstrate just some of the ways code can shape our lives.' 'In 2015 the United Nations came together to make a list of Global Goals for our planet. Now they need us to help spread the word. Begin your coding journey by choosing the issue that matters the most to you and become par

asciilifeform: didjaknow.
asciilifeform: 'MEET THE WOMEN CODING FOR CHANGE'
asciilifeform: 'CODE FOR PEACE. CODE FOR EQUALITY. CODE TO END POVERTY.'
PeterL: seems like that would be easy, just write a script to give everybody the same amount of money!
asciilifeform: dun forget to remove balls first
PeterL: if is_violence(action): stop
shinohai: $./communism.pl
mircea_popescu: hey, almost an exact opposite of republican goals.
mircea_popescu: how about - code to end equality.
mircea_popescu: and to ensure poverty for anyone involved with google, the un, etcetera.
asciilifeform: 'CODE FOR WAR. CODE FOR ELITISM. CODE TO ENSLAVE.'
mircea_popescu: eh enslave. who can be bothered.
asciilifeform: enpork.
mircea_popescu: if your crazy chechen cousin brought you a goat, you wouldn't want to KEEP it
asciilifeform: goat, unlike google 'coders', has market value.
asciilifeform: can sell.
mircea_popescu: depends entirely on the market.
asciilifeform: i knew where to sell goat in washington.
asciilifeform: not rocket surgery.
asciilifeform: the 'google gendered', on the other hand...
mircea_popescu: may be a market for them in detroit/baltimore.
asciilifeform: dunno that a self-respecting cannibal would want to eat'em
asciilifeform: and can't think what other use.
asciilifeform: very trustin' folk
asciilifeform: ( would mircea_popescu do this ? )
asciilifeform pictures cocksucking equivalent of the periscope for eyeholes in doors
mircea_popescu: in general the way this works is : a) you put two inch styrofoam panels on light metal rails with gloryhole ; b) you affix lcd eyeheight, and play porn on it and c) you get women lined up to service behind the wall.
asciilifeform: with something like those old pin matrix.
mircea_popescu: this way you can turn N ugly cocksuckers + K pretty whores into irl satisfaction for N*c idiots
mircea_popescu: as opposed to being limited in any way by the width of K.
mircea_popescu: seeing how it takes about two hours to teach anyone to suck cock but you can't turn 99% of extant female population into fap fodder no matter what you do.
asciilifeform: next step, as suggested by the pin thing, is telesucking.
mircea_popescu: you're technologizing the wrong way, really.
asciilifeform: how's that
mircea_popescu: waste of time to try and remove the N from the equation.
mircea_popescu: that's the last bit you optimize.
asciilifeform: seems like the last bit remaining, neh ?
asciilifeform: it's there on the chopping block, waiting for the optimization.
ben_vulpes: (goat is very useful for blackberry control)
asciilifeform: in definitely not newz, 'Counterfeit batteries are a HUGE problem on eBay. I firmly believe that probably over 85% of the Lithium Ion batteries on eBay are counterfeit or of inferior/dangerous quality. Most of them are extremely overrated as well. For instance, a 18650 cell simply cannot hold 4000MaH. It’s not physically possible for on of these cells output that much energy without draining it to an unusable state. Whatever th
asciilifeform: e case, our theory is that we are sending out batteries over to China to be recycled and they are disassembling the battery packs and reshrinkwrapping them and then selling them back to us on eBay. Not sure if that’s the case with all of it but I’m sure that some of that is happening.'

asciilifeform: either that or made of gurlz

asciilifeform: obligatory:

phf: i like how first google link is to mashkov lib (or whatever's left of it, post-burning)
asciilifeform: gotta know the current mirror, they change what now, weekly?
phf: i don't know the current mirror, i was using librusec, until that too went to shit
asciilifeform: ditto flibusta, until same
asciilifeform: (the latter is ~mostly intact)
mircea_popescu is reading "the law of baron and femme", apropos of irradiated carrots
mircea_popescu: eg "A note, payable to a feme covert, for a debt due to her while sole, is legally payable to the husband, and the property vests absolutely in him, and after his death, goes to his executor or administrator, and not to the wife." and other such wonders.
asciilifeform: terrible ocr
mircea_popescu: well so get the item itself.
asciilifeform: it is probably here in the house somewhere.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the concept of "nothing to allcomers" logically extends to property on one hand ; the notion of holding property outside of a proper signature is utterly nonsensical on the other hand. however you look at things, a reversal of "progressive" innovation in legal matters is unavoidable.
asciilifeform: noshit.jpg
mircea_popescu: it's not just "the right to vote" that goes away upon review and limitation of the franchise. derps simply can't hold property, whether they be "the government of the united states" or "jane doe".
asciilifeform: word 'hold' ~means~ something.
asciilifeform: i.e. the buttons are connected.
asciilifeform: loonybin napoleons hold 0 thrones.
asciilifeform: and if joe can disconnect doe's buttons, they are joe's, not doe's.
mircea_popescu: mno. conversion, such as through theft, or mere possession, give no title in either law or equity.
mircea_popescu: the thief doesn't own what he "holds"
asciilifeform: if you convert the army and navy - let someone disagree
mircea_popescu: i disagree.
asciilifeform: and sure, 'army and navy' is not a complete picture, it is possible to disagree a la hassan i sabbah, or mircea_popescu .
asciilifeform: vaguely on subject - it is commonly supposed by n00bz that 'launch codes'-style absolute-yet-titleless property holding is a new, bitcoiny thing. but it is nothing of the kind, pirates did it.
asciilifeform: plenty took 'brainwallet' to the gallows.
mircea_popescu: in general title, and the concept of law, is an instrument of monarchy directed against the peerage.
mircea_popescu: ie, "we don't need lords - here's robotic replacement our bureaucrats devised"
asciilifeform: the idiot english celebrate what, remember
asciilifeform: 'magna carta'
asciilifeform: which was precisely it
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, a comprehensive counter-imperial offensive will include measures meaningful to it, in its own terms.
mircea_popescu: de-titling of the kulaks, as it were. nobody may hold title to any property, nor be entitled to equitable redress of any claim, unless they are a person, as this is defined.
asciilifeform: !#s no rights for wights
asciilifeform: it must've been on trilema.
phf: hmm, that's an idea
mircea_popescu: in short, to codify years of extand practice, the "how to participate in the affairs" actually has a lot of bite. one who isn't a citizen has no rights. his complaints have no standing, whatever their content ; and no redress is available.
asciilifeform: if chair wants to be spoken for, it has to find a sitter and make him happy.
asciilifeform: otherwise goes to where the other junk furniture goes.
asciilifeform: unrelatedly,
asciilifeform: does anyone know of a remaining maker of nic chipsets other than intel, broadcom, and realtek ?
asciilifeform: (usb dongles not counting)
mircea_popescu: there were some korean etc
asciilifeform: names plox
asciilifeform: and places where it can be had.
mircea_popescu: a minute.
asciilifeform: pci/pcie/minipci.
phf: qualcomm?
asciilifeform: gigabit only
asciilifeform: phf: afaik qualcomm doesn't make WIRED nics
phf: i think are behind the "Killer" brand
mircea_popescu: 3com ; nvidia apparently makes them too ; something called marvell
asciilifeform: marvell makes the pogo system-on-chip
asciilifeform: afaik no standalones.
asciilifeform: killed does not appear to feature on a standalone board either
asciilifeform: though if anyone turns one up, please link.
asciilifeform: same seems to be true of nvidia (only available in their southbridge ??)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently most usb dongles use something called asix for a chipset
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a number of them
asciilifeform: but they are ~worthless for serious use
mircea_popescu: there's also adm8515 from "davicom" apparently still in production
asciilifeform: (excruciating bottleneck)
asciilifeform: again no usb plox, they are rubbish.
mircea_popescu: there's also a rosewill
asciilifeform: i dun think they make the chipset
asciilifeform: gotta find out who does...
mircea_popescu: most of these seem to buy bulk korean parts.
asciilifeform: i meant, what is physically on the rosewill board.
asciilifeform: they're a 'whitelabel'
mircea_popescu: yeah. and i meant, "probably a realtek clone made in south korea".
asciilifeform: possibly.
asciilifeform: ^ is who.
asciilifeform: (see photo close-up)
asciilifeform: or hah, no
asciilifeform: pericom only makes the pci bridge in these
asciilifeform: they use realtek lock stock and barrel.
asciilifeform: this leaves me exactly where i was when i did this survey last year, and the year before, and...
asciilifeform: there are 3 makers of gbE nics you can buy as cards (vs mobo southbridge integrated, or SOC a la pogo)
asciilifeform: realtek, broadcom, intel.
asciilifeform: the last 2 are wholly-owned usg thralls, while realtek is taiwanese and famous for, e.g., 'losing' signing certs later used in stuxnet, etc.
mircea_popescu: "independents" all appear to be varying degrees of "serials filed off" ; mostly realtek's
asciilifeform: dun look like they even bothered with 'filing off'
asciilifeform: i've been trying and failing to locate an in-production gbE card with something other than these 3 on it, and failed.
asciilifeform: (the other thing realtek is famous for is... having very peculiar definition of 'working chip', see e.g., https://archive.is/uvOwZ )
asciilifeform: also wtf mircea_popescu , 3com's been dead for eons
asciilifeform: it was bought by hp in, iirc, 2010.
mircea_popescu: nah. iirc some apple schmuck transitioned to it.
asciilifeform: !!google 3com

asciilifeform: April 12, 2010 'PALO ALTO, Calif. -- HP today announced it has completed its acquisition of 3Com Corporation at a price of $7.90 per share in cash or an enterprise value of approximately $2.7 billion.'
mircea_popescu: o hey check that out, they did close shop.
asciilifeform: apparently there is a 4th co
asciilifeform: 'tehuti'
mircea_popescu: still. you can buy 10/100 nics for 50 cents a pop.
asciilifeform: which ~nobody ever heard of.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was specifically NOT asking after junkyard iron.
asciilifeform: i know where to find it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform alright. has its advantages.
asciilifeform: has numerous advantages, and i run own humble household on it. but q was re moderns.
asciilifeform: ah 'tehuti' is obscure because 10G.
asciilifeform: luxury.
asciilifeform: anyway, log readerz, if i missed anybody - please write in.
asciilifeform: i will add, for completeness, that 'silicon labs' and 'texas instruments' offer gbE controllers, but only as chip - not, afaik, packaged on pci/pcie by anyone.
asciilifeform: silicon labs is a ~fabless~ american co.
asciilifeform: who makes its line physically - i do not know.
phf: meaning they print in china?
phf: ah
asciilifeform: phf: almost certainly taiwan
asciilifeform: 'BroodMinder: Smart, Affordable Telemetry for Beekeeping' << lolk.
asciilifeform: sooooo, three, three, three nicmusketeeers, all muppets of guess who.
asciilifeform: sitting in ~every large server of whatever consequence.
asciilifeform: all dma-enabled (because pc arch doesn't actually offer any other way to move Gb/sec)
asciilifeform: this last detail i hope is not news to anyone.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: earlier i think you were thinking of 'pa semi'
asciilifeform: who were another gBe maker, bought by crapple and annihilated in '08.
asciilifeform: (fabless. i have nfi where their chip was physically made.)
asciilifeform: situation re gbE nics is quite reminiscent of american consumer banks.
asciilifeform: ask a street schmuck and he will say 'there are hundreds'
asciilifeform: when actual number, not counting the fed, is 3.
asciilifeform: and all 3 owned by His Reptilian Majesty.
asciilifeform: ooooh found another corpse
asciilifeform: 'alteon'
asciilifeform: made gBe. dead '09.
asciilifeform: (bought by 3com !)
asciilifeform: turns out they were rounded up just like the banks.
asciilifeform if nobody figured it out, was going through /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/ethernet simply ... asking 'gbE? alive?' for each item therein.

asciilifeform: aaaaand on slightly related subj, whatever happened to https://archive.is/y2cFi ?
asciilifeform: ^ dude who found what was probably loose end of intel's implementation of 'magic usg packet'
asciilifeform: reliably hard-wedged the nic, regardless of what os was running, or if any
asciilifeform: sorta popped up, and then quietly unhappened.
asciilifeform: (elsewhere) 'The network card crashed whenever the value 0x32 or 0x33 was found at offset 0x47f. Kristian first noticed this happening for specific SIP packets, but in the end, it turned out that any packet with 0x32 at 0x47f caused the crash. Intel traced the problem to an EEPROM used in this specific card (82574L). There are some links in the comment to the blog suggesting that others have run into this problem before. For example,
asciilifeform: the commend: "ping -p 32 -s 1110 x.x.x.x" can crash an affected card remotely.'
asciilifeform: (come to think of it, mircea_popescu , what nic was in the original dulap..?)
asciilifeform: 'It is Intel’s belief that this is an implementation issue isolated to a specific manufacturer, not a design problem with the Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet controller. Intel has not observed this issue with any implementations which follow Intel’s published design guidelines. Intel recommends contacting your motherboard manufacturer ...'
