mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dja even have a eulora acct ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I do not yet. Last I looked into trying eulora the Nvidia 'cg' binary dependency was blocking
mircea_popescu: so how are you going to collect lol
BingoBoingo: Pray the auction winner is willing to settle in BTC, or see if Eulora has a text client. In the worst case locally source or junkyard wars a Eulorable machine.
BingoBoingo: It's an experiment. I'd rather test auctionbot on something other than Pizarro criticals, and if it turns out there's substantial bidder interest in S.QNTR maybe it baits some more submissions from The Lordship and the honorable L2.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: do you have a provisional statement for october?

asciilifeform: where is the comicbook wall in the bg ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: quite unrelatedly, what's your recommended formula for 'manifest' in keccak regrinds ? ( i.e. to retrofit manifest to ancient stuff, or only to latest v cut of it ? and with current blockheight, or to somehow estimate the one at the time of original publication ? )
asciilifeform in the process of keccakizing ffa, hence practical q
asciilifeform: originally i was gonna simply regrind ( by running through new vdiff ) ch1-11, and invite reader to hand-diff if he likes and see that only hashes have changed. but then noticed that the new vdiff also processes files in different order, so this won't give clean 'only hashes' diff. so thinking, may as well retrofit manifest to each of ch1-11
phf: asciilifeform: yeah, unfortunately, we even had a thread about it. gnu diff does sort using locale, where's vdiff does strict ascii collation
asciilifeform: phf: right
asciilifeform: it's gnudiff that spewed ~random order.
phf: i think locale based collation for en or us or whatever puts some punctuation marks into odd positions. "gratuitous" i believe is the word, that is we couldn't figure out the sense behind it
asciilifeform: there aint any real sense behind the 'locale' nonsense imho
asciilifeform: i expect it was a concession to the french or some other barbarian tribe
asciilifeform: 'here in sheepfuckistan, q goes before z' or somesuch
asciilifeform: lol, err, z/q
asciilifeform: whichever
asciilifeform: ( observe, the WHOLE fucking problem ascii standard was meant to solve, quietly got 'reopened' by the unitards )
asciilifeform: imho if the franks, or the visigoths, want diff sorting order when alphabetizing, they oughta have proclaimed a FSCII and VGSCII etc
asciilifeform: but no, somehow gotta barnacle on orig.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, artists studio whatever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo manifest ~should~ be historically accurate.
mircea_popescu: and yes, i recall the "what is alphabetic order" wtf
asciilifeform: imho also. the q is what's the most accurate , given that orig had no manifest
asciilifeform: currently looking into how diana_coman did it
mircea_popescu: "This manifest created on x to comply with prevailing standards ; original had no such thing." fir instance ?
asciilifeform: right. but i'm regrinding ch1-11 into keccak. ought manifest only to live in ch12 ( 11 technically had one, but it was adhoc, and not conformant to current formulation ) ? or in all ch1-11
a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 14:31 diana_coman: I'll soon do the regrind of eucrypt to move it on to keccak hashes; my plan is to keep the patches precisely as they are otherwise (i.e. including NO manifest until I actually added it at the end); the way I see it, it's just a swap-in-place of one hash for another; if anyone sees this sort of thing differently - since I'm hmmm,first to regrind a big project? - yell now !
asciilifeform: ty diana_coman
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo just add it with ch12

BingoBoingo woke up this morning to a sad home internet connection to troubleshoot
mircea_popescu: bvt that works.
diana_coman: bvt, that sounds good!
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf http://btcbase.org/patches/v98#L74 leads to http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/WhT97/?raw=true on (apparently all) boxes containing asciilifeform's pubkey
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf for that matter, it does same thing! with yours! pray tell how didja even test the v98 thing, on what.
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: tho i'm beginning to suspect the culprit :
asciilifeform: i dun have any cuntoo boxes here yet. all of my dev machines run vintage gentoo, where the gpg that python-gnupg sees is gpg2 (cuz idjit portage pulled it in, long ago). asciilifeform's actual pgp-ing happens on diff machine, naturally, with 1.4.10 . but apparently phf's hack for subkeyism breaks the thing in this combo.
asciilifeform: can somebody plz confirm that v98 ( as it appears in http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vpy-updated-for-vtools/ ) actually worked somewhere ?
bvt: mircea_popescu: unfortunately i can't provide a timeline for the syscalls yet: between 19.11. and 07.12. i will have time for only very minor work, following logs, etc.
bvt: if i manage to do something usable this weekend, i'll genesis that, otherwise i'll make an empty genesis and just outline the work i expect.
bvt: asciilifeform: is remerging portage with USE=-rsync-verify an option? you can downgrade to gpg1 afterwards
asciilifeform: ( alternatively, does anybody know how to control the gpg binary that python-gnupg sees ? )
asciilifeform: bvt: i am EXTREMELY reluctant to touch any of the portage knobs, these boxes are 'dried in amber' .
asciilifeform: what i'd like is a pill that is guaranteed not to break ANYTHING else.
mircea_popescu: bvt that's fine.
phf: asciilifeform: i suppose next patch would be to replace gnupg with explicit shell callouts. that python gnupg thing is entirely opaque
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 8 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> http://btcbase.org/patches/v98#L74 leads to http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/WhT97/?raw=true on (apparently all) boxes containing asciilifeform's pubkey
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 5 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> for that matter, it does same thing! with yours! pray tell how didja even test the v98 thing, on what.
asciilifeform: phf: it will be even gnarlier, would have to parse the output somehow and essentially recreate all of python-gnupg ( wanna ? )
phf: asciilifeform: all the other kids do it!
phf: asciilifeform: everything i test, i test on Linux gravity 4.4.138-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 26 21:26:35 MDT 2018 aarch64 GNU/Linux, which is a press of your rk pre-cuntoo
asciilifeform: phf: well that aint what i have here.
asciilifeform: and imho it is pretty sad that a vtron even sees ~anything~ 'systemwide'.
asciilifeform: really oughta be entirely homedir-local.
asciilifeform: and yes it was originally my kludge. but the diff is, mine worked...
asciilifeform: ( on , afaik, all known kochian gpg )
mircea_popescu: very much should be homedir local.
phf: asciilifeform: yours doesn't have any notion of subkeys, so i'm not entirely sure "how" it worked.
asciilifeform: it worked!!
phf: well, that's a useful conversation.
mircea_popescu: this conversation...
asciilifeform: loox like i'ma have to strip out the subkey garbage, and regenesis, 'v98-that-actually-worx'. unless phf has better idea.
mircea_popescu: in more useful news : gpg = gnupg.GPG(binary='path')
asciilifeform goes to try mircea_popescu's tip
mircea_popescu: there's also a homedir for the keyring
asciilifeform: TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'binary
asciilifeform: apparently not in my ver, grr
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: v.py never used keyring
asciilifeform: it always baked a tmp to satisfy gpg's keyring idjicy and nuked it after
phf: asciilifeform: try gpgbinary
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but how do you call it ? import gnupg ? and then gpg = ?
asciilifeform: phf: worx -- in the sense that no above eggog : but same result as previously, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/wmR7H/?raw=true
asciilifeform: so apparently gpg2ism is not the culprit
asciilifeform went to strace to find what gpg binary it actually invokes, and oddly enuff no mentions of EITHER in strace output...
phf: asciilifeform: what does your gnupg.__version__ return?
phf: mine is 0.4.1
phf: well, time to vpatch gnupg.py
asciilifeform: my orig worked with 0.3.2 ( which is poured into cement and i have no intention to 'upgrade' wtf lol )
asciilifeform: phf: can you plz remind me why you changed that routine to begin with ?
phf: asciilifeform: because that routine doesn't work with version 0.4.1, it only picks up primary keys
asciilifeform: i can't think of anyffing to do but a) make flensed version of phf's that actually worx here, i have NO intention of breaking my legacy toolchain in which i still have 90000 unconverted private patches or b) bake an e.g. if gpg.__version__ = phf : ... else .... thing
phf: asciilifeform: you can also calm the fuck down, and post your version of gnupg, version 0.3.2, unsigned is fine, and we can figure out what the issue is. i'll look at the diff and see if 0.3.2 can be added to v.py as another file
asciilifeform: phf: i dun want to glom python-gnupg into vtron tho!
asciilifeform: it'd be ugly as sin
asciilifeform: and 10xuple its mass
phf: because it is already 10xuple its mass! we are just pretending like it's not
phf: "i have a copy of gnupg that works, and everyone that's using anything else is an idiot" is not much a strategy
asciilifeform: by that token it's 3GB cuz that's how much stripped gentoo weighs, lol
phf: correct.
asciilifeform: it's nonsense tho.
asciilifeform: i wrote ~10kb proggy, not 3GB.
asciilifeform: i will not be answerable for a 3GB ball of shit, there aint even 1% of the necessary hrs to read it, left in my lifespan
asciilifeform: so loox like i'll be going with button 'a' .
phf: asciilifeform: i'm surprised at this entirely un-vtronic argument. your "10kb proggy" brings in a magic dependency, that nobody else has except for you
asciilifeform: really, nobody ? why is it that nobody until phf's v98 felt inclined to change the routine, then ?
asciilifeform: with all respect to phf -- it seems to me that he's the one with the nonstandard envir
phf: that's accidental. most people have been running mod6's v.pl, they also might've pulled the dependency back when v.py came out, of various __version__'s closer to the one you have, but not necessarily exact. i think your attachment to your code clouds your judgment!
asciilifeform: phf: fwiw my orig v.py is pretty sad in several wellknown ways -- i'm not particularly attached to it, would happily take mod6's, if there were (did i miss??) a ver of it patched to work in keccak
asciilifeform: i was able to regrind ffa today, using phf's vdiff, but atm cannot yet press and confirm that it actually presses to same thing as the classical
phf: i've narrated how to make v.pl work with keccak, i think i even posted an unsigned patch for mod6, butman is busy
phf: *but man
asciilifeform: seems like the closest thing to a working keccak-vtron currently is phf's v98 tho
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you seriously can't go after people who happen to not share your ~unpublished~ personal pre-chain.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: atm i'm not even in a place where i can say who's what is buggy
asciilifeform: still remains to be seen
mircea_popescu: if it were a case of "phf why the fuck are you using non-v or non-tmsr or non-standard or non-something" it'd have legs. as it is it's "phf why didn't you intuit what's in the magic box under my bed" ?
asciilifeform: no i get it
asciilifeform: but gotta find a pill, cuz right nao wheels turning in the mud
phf: i have to excuse myself midway through conversation, but will chime in later
asciilifeform: ( i need specifically both vtrons to work on these boxen , with no systemwide modifications )
asciilifeform: phf: np
phf: asciilifeform: well post your gnupg.py and i will at the very least look at the diff between the two. maybe their subkey strategy has changed
mircea_popescu: we gotta get rid of this whole "subkey" bs and kock-shitsandwich bs along with it.
mircea_popescu: fuck you stallman, your "gnu" is as meaningful as "made in america"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff happens to be exactly what asciilifeform's doing
mircea_popescu: no, i know. and unsurprising enough, also.
asciilifeform: ( and currently stepping on erry possible gnu.nail )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: stallman has plenty to answer for, but i dunno what he has to do specifically with koch's gpg
mircea_popescu: why's it called "gnu" pg ?
asciilifeform: i'll be happy to see'em sitting on neighbouring stakes tho
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: presumably cuz koch stuck a gpl sticker on it
mircea_popescu: what, specifically, is the tag supposed to convey ? cuz it sure as fuck doesn't seem to be "we'll randomly change abis because why the fuck not, windowns power!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hence the "made in america" comment. the america of africa, as much an america as any other america rite.
asciilifeform: that's yet a third derp, whoever wrote python-gnupg
asciilifeform: ( presently dun look like it's a gpg1-vs-2-ism )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: entire unixlike ecosystem has never afaik been anyffing other than africa.
asciilifeform: not since leaving at&t cellars at any rate
asciilifeform: it's exactly an africa, complete with tsetse fly.
