mircea_popescu: bear with me
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would register width matter ? can't have 4 bit gnat for some reason ?
asciilifeform: if someone were to write one.
mircea_popescu: getting back to the "i'm from california and thereby i'm fucked in the head" thread, "Configure GitHub to look Symbolicsish ; Configure YouTube to look Symbolicsish". this "task" pretty much explains the whole thing imo.
asciilifeform: but '16 bit' x86 is not just about bitness
asciilifeform: it is about quite different instr set, and arch ( incl. the use of segments )
asciilifeform: so gcc pointedly never targeted it.
asciilifeform: because it's a crippled horror
mircea_popescu: myeah, i figured "fuck you, write the paging yourself" the moment 4 bit was out of my mouth.
asciilifeform: 16bit 'p' will prolly have to be asmed by hand.
asciilifeform: good student project.

trinque: mircea_popescu: the node's behind, and looks like it's not getting anything from its connections. I'll look into it.
asciilifeform: trinque: if it relied on zoolag, it will be hungry until the new ssd crate arrives ( tomorrow at dawn )
asciilifeform: ( plus backup reconstitution time )
asciilifeform: but ideally one should not rely on 1 box...
asciilifeform: ( even if it's yer personal box. asciilifeform had a bunch of stuff grind to a halt when zoolag went )
trinque: I may have misunderstood the wires patch behavior.
trinque: did a wire to one node mean not trying to eat from others, or merely "highest priority to wire"
trinque: thought it was the latter
asciilifeform: trinque: the latter
trinque: k, that's all I had, not "connect"
asciilifeform: though it does clutter the debug log with barfola if the partner is dead
trinque: at any rate, going to disable the wire for now and see what happens
asciilifeform: ( wires patch currently is just epsilon short of useless, because of the asinine default block sync algo )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu for instance does not operate with it
trinque: what I see in my logs is many BANNED and many "no message in first 60 seconds"
asciilifeform: that's heathens
asciilifeform: ( the 'banned' )
trinque: aha
asciilifeform: the latter is ye olde blackhole
asciilifeform: which i demonstrated (at least to my satisfaction) as caused by slow verification on ~own~ end, of incoming blocks
asciilifeform: during which sockets are not serviced and wither and die.
trinque: could be that I diddle the RPC hole too often for this node
asciilifeform: that's a blocking op also, incidentally
asciilifeform: because again the idiotic design of whole thing
asciilifeform: but i have nfi how much it costs you, you would have to make a profiling patch similar to mine and see.
trinque: will have a few things to chew on re: trb once this walletbot sits down.
trinque: the thing wants at least a sendrawtxn, external txnmaker, and address tracking without holding privkey
asciilifeform: also to go with these -- option of running sans mempool
trinque: also wants P, of course :)
asciilifeform: not sure how that goes directly with trb
trinque: an external adatronic otpulator makes dealing with transactional items diddled by the web safer, as I see it
asciilifeform: this yea
trinque: otp generator can keep an audit trail, which can be run out of band when moving actual coin.
trinque: doesn't match, sorry folks, going back to the last transaction batch
asciilifeform: trinque: can you point me plz to the thread where it was described what your current item (walletbot) does ?
asciilifeform: i somehow missed.
trinque: I'm going to do a writeup when released, still putting it together.
trinque: the otp part discussed here stands alone, though. a rather dumb piece of software can keep track of encrypted OTPs it dispatched, the corresponding command (which sits in the encrypted item), and when it got the OTP back.
trinque: works for an accounting db, wot, w/e
trinque: otp box can be msdos over serial port, input parsing is trivial (key parameters, hash of command; so all numeric - none causing branching)
trinque: ah probably string of command, since folks need to see what it is they've gotten an OTP for. at any rate, still not branch-causing.
trinque: if there were a hardware-only way of logging what traveled over that serial port, even better. that'd be the audit trail instead of the OTP box's disk.
trinque: ^ obviously comments welcome.

mircea_popescu: no idea.
mircea_popescu: but the engineering label seems to be falling off./
trinque: ah now I recall what might reduce the print audit's usefulness. it means visual inspection of the encrypted items, as well as OTPs. logger box has to first see the encrypted item, second, corresponding OTP, and then this log has to be verified by someone who can (elsewhere) crack open the encrypted ones and match up the OTPs.
asciilifeform: i have nfi what that fella smokes
mircea_popescu: trinque it's for your own later audit. hence the tee
trinque: tells me ordering of OTPs, but not whether one leaked out with wrong key, multiple keys, so on.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of baffling moongineering : why the fuck do they have SQUARE vent holes on places like us navy ships, where they can actually afford to design the cover rather than buy from walmart.
trinque: well, without transcribing or OCR'ing the log back in somewhere.
mircea_popescu: trinque can always hash any item that is long to check for conformity in audits.
asciilifeform: trinque: qr code
mircea_popescu: or maybe i'm not understanding the problem ?
asciilifeform: ( or even conventional bar )
trinque: in order for a log of OTPs to be meaningful, in that it asserts a particular person assented to an action at a given time, gotta know the OTP corresponds to the item sent to that person. the way I've been thinking about that is encrypting the OTP with two keys, one of which I hold; the other belonging to the outside party
mircea_popescu: could have just hashed it neh ?
trinque: and that at some point a log of the encrypted OTPs and their return (as seen over that serial cable by 3rd box) is moved somewhere, and the encrypted OTPs decrypted and matched up with OTPs received
mircea_popescu: if you have an irreversible hash function, it's better than encrypting.
mircea_popescu: (ie, doesn't need decryption, can simply compare)
trinque: writing it up real quick in longer form.
mircea_popescu: shall read.

phf: that's how the heatsink is attached to the surface, but i wasn't sure if it can handle the fan vibration
asciilifeform: epoxy will hold it and if you pull it with four hourses it'll be the pcb socket that comes off, not the hs
mircea_popescu: if it can'y you really should have a fan made industrially

asciilifeform: that statute doesn't have damage quota
asciilifeform: or requires crown to show any at all
mircea_popescu: let me put it another way : if "the united states" is sorely hurt by a coupla grand wortha software, all those tomahawks'd better win some wars.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i care what usg thinks its laws are about as much as i think what fat girl thinks her reasons for eating are.
asciilifeform: they still have sore starfish from 'wannacry' using nsa's beloved 'unpatchable' hole, and pressure building for patch of same
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if we're discussing zimbabwestan i am stuck describing its witchcraft statute.
mircea_popescu: i thought the guy fixed wannacry. did he make wannacry ?
asciilifeform: fixed in this case was 'took for self'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but in our terms ; not in zimbabwestan terms. zimbabwestan may not have terms.
asciilifeform: 'Hutchins’ employer, cybersecurity firm Kryptos Logic, had been working closely with the US authorities to help them investigate the WannaCry malware. Hutchins handed over information on the kill switch to the FBI the day after he discovered it, and the chief executive of the firm, Salim Neino, testified in from of the US House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space & Technology the following month.' << golden idjits

asciilifeform: trinque: i'd think their blocks would be rejected in the intake hopper, for being 2MB ?
asciilifeform: or not ?
trinque: thought shinohai or someone'd said they'd yet failed to mine a block larger than 1mb
shinohai: trinque: I did, twas first few hours after their "fork" ... afaik still no actual > 1 mb block mined.
shinohai: I'd be surprised if anyone does, considering diff retarget will take a few months to make it have 10 min blox

mircea_popescu: trinque in principle it shouldn't have anything to do with your node, all that jazz.

asciilifeform finally found 'iceprog', a c proggy, that r/w built turds to the chip. but so far is all.
asciilifeform: 'This syntax was added to bison on bison 2.6+ so either install later bison / just delete those lines locally' 'What @OrDavidi said. Those two statements only improve the quality of parser error messaged. You can safely remove them.'

mod6: perhaps just m$ disease has permeated the brain barrier huh

shinohai enjoys ascii art in moderation, when it is worthy to be attached to something

trinque: asciilifeform: aw, lol. they're going to call the HR department on you now.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile back on planet earth : the bitcoin crash difficulty implies a per-scamtoken cost of about 1/4 btc, and the price is about 1/10btc. the remainder comes straight out of the would-be miner's pocket. now tell me again all that jazz about how "miners decide" and whatnot bullshit idiots were spewing theoretically in theory.
mircea_popescu: in further lulz : the scamchain is ~300 blocks behind bitcoin. here's a summary : 478610 1 hour ago 443.02Kb ; 478609 1 hour ago 141.72Kb ; 478608 2 hours ago 291.50Kb ; 478607 2 hours ago 584.60Kb ; 478606 3 hours ago 174.71Kb ; 478605 554.37Kb ; 478604 3 hours ago 771.29Kb ; 478603 4 hours ago 355.16Kb ; 478602 4 hours ago 158.57Kb ; 478601 4 hours ago 424.27Kb
mircea_popescu: ~340 kb average (over 10 blocks). considering this 10 represents 1/5 or so of the bitcoin chain, so basically they're about 15 times LESS transaction intensive than bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: in other words, bitcoin cash is exactly equal to a proposition of reducing bitcoin blocks from 1mb to 60kb.
mircea_popescu: on the basis of "what the people need", as demonstrated by the people themselves, bitcoin blocks of 64kb would be perfectly sufficient./
asciilifeform: trinque: lol! let's also call obummer
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform built 'icestorm', 'arachne-pnr', with plain gcc 4.9 ( the only concession to idiocy on the test machine was python3 ) . and even MOST of 'yosys' ( the last step in the ice40 open sores fpga toolchain ) built. in fact, whole thing built, but linker barfs
asciilifeform: tcl , as i understand, caught the plague many years ago. this must be the 7th or 8th popular proggy that none of asciilifeform's boxes will build, purely on account of tcl rot.
asciilifeform: 'yosys' is that chain's verilog synth; the whole shebang is quite dead in the water without it.
asciilifeform: or perhaps not : could simply lay out the thing by hand...
asciilifeform: just fill. up. each. lut. by. hand...
asciilifeform: probably doomed to do this in the end regardless.
mircea_popescu: well, to quote that dood, "at least it's cheaper than at any point in history ; and faster than at any point of history"
mircea_popescu: amusingly, same could be said of faxed car.
mircea_popescu: "doesn't work, but cheap!"
asciilifeform: spreading -- worx!!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you mean tcl, america's fastest-growing tv brand ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform one of these traces to hetzner, comsumer in gauteng, johannesburg, sa ; the other is softlayer
asciilifeform: likewise even in spamindergarten they teach to pipe liquishit from 1 ip, host own front door on other.
mircea_popescu: oddly enough it doesn't seem to actually try to spam or anything. and too little name variation for a lost soul looking for its cc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bugger lurks in a dozen+ chans

asciilifeform: just listens.
mircea_popescu: nor stay logged long.
mircea_popescu: possibly trying to get nick list i guess.
asciilifeform: draws, i suppose, on the output end, fancy wall chart of terrorist connectionz in the ministry of lulz break room.
mircea_popescu: also, funny item re hetzner : back in 2014, there was a large demonstration in novosibirsk in favour of you know, russia losing siberia. the russian govt pressured everyone to not discuss the matter, including bbc. the ukrainians at the time didn't feel inclined to comply, so hetzner took glavcom.ua and others offline, because hey, unlicensed republic.
asciilifeform: ' this man hangs in #trilema , #perl , #crustaceans, we must arrest immediately before the irreparable happens '
asciilifeform: where do i attend the demonstration in favour of usa losing alaska ?

mircea_popescu: lemme fish out teh log link
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you recall, whgen i was trying to get ben_vulpes to collect a bus'worth of local sluts and go throw an unauthorized party around those people the usg was trying to drive off their land ?

mircea_popescu: can't seem to find it, but im pretty sure it was a thing.
mircea_popescu: aha, so. ~same idea.
asciilifeform: i must've missed.
mircea_popescu: once usg.whatever loses ability to enforce its diktats in oregon wilderness, alaska is ~independent.
asciilifeform: wilderness is 1 thing, gazpromistan is other
mircea_popescu: ah, independence doesn't discuss that. what, iraq's been "independent" forever, still gazpromistan.
asciilifeform: phun phakt, not long ago asciilifeform toured 'iraq embassy' ( there's an 'embassy expo' each yr in dc ). it was quite clear that the place isn't actually used in the daily sense
asciilifeform: hastily piled ???s, and amidst them various office crud (printers, etc) suggestive of dust gathered since clinton era.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iraq embassy in kabul got raped tho.

mircea_popescu: not to mention item being accross from like a school and catty corner from where the rich afghani aspie class whores went to get their nails and perms done, the afghani aspie class is pretty scared.

mircea_popescu: if they're not there, any historical trace of a ps -eo cmd,args | grep "mysql" (or the same command run on a similar system) will provide a -datadir= string.
mircea_popescu: common variations include /var/db/mysql, /usr/local/mysql/data and so on. just grepping your fs for say .MYI will likely yield, at that.
