ben_vulpes: welp, completely struck out installing ada compiler tonight
ben_vulpes: tried both binturd from libre.adacore and a portage ebuild
ben_vulpes: likely has to do with that this box is running gcc 5.4.0, i think i have to figure out how to make a gentoo with gcc 4.9
ben_vulpes: okay well *something* is compiling on my closet iron now

a111: Logged on 2017-11-17 14:06 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-17#1740117 << you can't v-root an item containing binturds. and the only x86 bios without winturds, is for opteron or ancient (pre-2008) intels. with recent chips even binturd-containing coreboot dun work, and yer stuck with the heathen fw shipped in the box.
mircea_popescu: binturds are NOT unapproachable. they are very much as approachable as, eg, reversing ivory/bolix software. not necesarily as perfumed, but be that as it may.
mircea_popescu: i would much prefer to have a v-root for whatever bios, with the binary clearly laid out, so people with the competence can take it apart.
mircea_popescu: rather than pretend alongside the usg tards it's an "insurmountable task". it's not. build the tools and spend the time, do your part to ruin wintel and with it the united states.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in FG, i signed binturds that i ~generated~ ( e.g. jpeg of schematic )
mircea_popescu: a binturd is a binturd.
mircea_popescu: yes, yours is already reversed. the others aren't YET.
asciilifeform: it's a perfectly ordinary use of sig ( supposing one remembers to write proper disclaimer, 'i sign what i found , from wherever' ) . but not of v -- the diffs aren't meaningful
asciilifeform: iirc asciilifeform actually posted a binturd bios once, that he cracked ( for stinkpad x60 , which normally refuses aftermarket nic )
mircea_popescu: what you mean is "the diffs aren't directly meaningful" which is true, but also what can we do ?
mircea_popescu: indirectly meaningful diffs.
asciilifeform: they carry no meaning at all. change 1 byte and you get a turd every bit as large as the genesis.
mircea_popescu: v is still needed to manage the metadata on them. such as you know, the textfile explaining how to produce them and what (at least) portions say
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the interesting part is where you change 1 byte and you get sony's copy protection in a new package.
asciilifeform: so genesis the text file, and it contains the turd hashes. this is what i did with fg.
mircea_popescu: i wasn't proposing to treat the binturds as genesis themselves, no. attached exactly in manner fg did it
mircea_popescu: imo you solved this "i got bins, they're needed but hated" problem correctly, there.

mircea_popescu: until you have enough familiarity for the proper dict to be useful to you, you don't properly speaking have anything to say.
asciilifeform: to say ? noshit, no
mircea_popescu: i can't answer for others, but i, a man with no particular place to go and no specific time to be there, find in general the approach endlessly entertaining. go into a two day loop through whatever lang's dict after having read a phrase in some classical work.
mircea_popescu: it's why i won't learn subhuman languages, such as anything black people ever made : not NEARLY enough classics to keep me interested in this manner.
mircea_popescu: this is also why i've not learned say sanskrit, and why i despise indians as the cultural construct. bitch, interrupted classics isn't a qualifier, if all the jews had ended in 300 ad they'd be in the same pot.
asciilifeform: no classics -- monkeylang. dun see what to disagree with.
mircea_popescu: now, one could say "but of course, mp is rich, man of leisure". except... i STILL didn't have a particular destination / timetable as an eight year old. if anyone's ever poorer than a child...
asciilifeform: interrupted classics are of interest to archaeologist.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they can take their "yoni"s and shove them, i'm too busy archeologisting actual things to be bothgered with "but mp, before going to shit india was interesting". had i lived before it went to shit, i might've persuaded by this.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, if you don't study failures how to avoid mistakes ???" "study non-failures and non-do what they didn't do either!" wtf, ima have to look at anything but WORKING engine to establish how to not make engine ? pshaw.
asciilifeform: learnable-from failures are a rare luxury even in engineering
mircea_popescu: almost 0 shits given to "after ww2 but before clinton, america the great" wank for very much this reason, actually.

mircea_popescu: o hey, ignoring flags nao ?
asciilifeform: stage3 method ( the only one supported by post-infiltration gentoo ) is a tar fulla binturds
asciilifeform: so no, flags dun help there.
ben_vulpes: more likely i made a mistake
ben_vulpes: oh, mistake was to stage3
ben_vulpes: i don't really know how to apply your use flags to the creation of a new gentoo then. i do have an older gentoo box that is pretty faithful to the crapolade flags, has gcc but don't really have a map for making that produce a root fs that i can put on another box or what even the correct way to go about doing what i want to do

asciilifeform: but notion of unix is that you can take whatever c compiler you got, and bootstrap
mircea_popescu: we have gcc 4.9.x source then ?
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, evidently "whaterver you got" dun include post wreckage gcc 5+
asciilifeform: aha. but you can't build it with 5, apparently.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform where is it ?
asciilifeform: mod6's mirror
mircea_popescu: !#s gcc mirror
asciilifeform: ' 0x17) Get http://deedbot.org/deed-427443-5.txt : name it 'gcc-4.9.2.tar.bz2.asc' '

mircea_popescu: nice work mod6
asciilifeform: it's part of the rotor flow, gotta be there
shinohai: Ah yeah somehow I had forgotten that *DUH* is part of trb
asciilifeform: recall, original 'gcc5 is fatally touched' discovery happened on n00bz building rotors
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: couldja sketch how this pill might work for me?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ideally would work on all known c compiler, and from there build gcc buildroot-style, and from there - world
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ride the rotor train all the way to there then have it build whatever it is you're building.
asciilifeform: i've thought about investigating whether gcc4 can be made to build on fabrice bellard's tinycc
ben_vulpes: heh i was just reading about that
asciilifeform: which in turn builds on just about anything vaguely c-flavoured
ben_vulpes: makes elfs and everything
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "whatever it is you're building" is "gentoo", and what goes into that is still a mystery to me
ben_vulpes: "babbys first linux distro"
mircea_popescu: mmm, i dunno that we have a gentoo equivalent of this deeded anywhere.
asciilifeform: dafuq's that
mircea_popescu: (to explain the lulz : huffpo penned piece about gervais, whio's still active and who did whatever huffpo-demo interest item recently ; upon deciding they want to write it up they proceeded to "do research" in "depth" as such works ; as it happens trilema owns millions of "long tail" items, including as the case is here whatever-they-searched-about either cemetery junction or gervais or some combination of other words. eviden
mircea_popescu: tly did not read the article, but hey.)
mircea_popescu: the point being that the pantsuit machine RELIES on there not existing toxicitems in the environment, because the whole thing is so least-effort driven as to directly uptake them if present.
asciilifeform: it reads like perlade
mircea_popescu: as opposed to which part of libertard discourse ?
asciilifeform: as opposed to where they still have meat in the loop
asciilifeform: ( pre-'millenial' meat )
mircea_popescu: this is perl-on-suto aka "graduate student"
mircea_popescu: this is what the empire is.
asciilifeform: deedbot removes voice from gabriel_laddel << poor d00d, must've amputated hands nao, not only feet
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, looking through logs we notice trilema served 1.5mn pages... earlier today, during four hours or so. this is usually a week or two's worth.
mircea_popescu: so ima have to alter that http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-18#1740276 to moar like 50k to reflect this new record.

pete_dushenski: it's gedankenexperiment
asciilifeform: shortwave. from festung mircea_popescustein's 500kW transmitter.
asciilifeform: wearer's body as antenna.
pete_dushenski: so wouldn't update if owner took off to, say, take a shower ?
asciilifeform: why wouldja care what it does when yer not wearing it
asciilifeform: it's a clock.
asciilifeform: connect to stationary antenna if you must have it show output on yer desk.
pete_dushenski: ya, i was thinking of desk scenario
pete_dushenski: stationary antenna worx
