I would project all of my self-hatred onto this woman so I could avoid actually working on m

    davout: kakobrekla: btw if you ever change your mind about documenting that optical device you mentioned earlier, a happy would be me
    
    mircea_popescu: better yet manufacture & sell it ? :D

    davout: mircea_popescu: if i don't know how it works and how i take it apart i ain't buying it :D
    
    mircea_popescu: yeah obv. just, imo better economics all around once that's on the table.
    
    davout: jurov: i'm trying to figure out exactly what the desirable properties of such an apparatus are
    
    mircea_popescu: of airgaps ?
    
    davout: mircea_popescu: yeah, no argument here, does it come with t-shirts?
    
    mircea_popescu: hopefully lol
    
    davout: yeah, well the questions i'm thinking about are
    
    jurov: davout i assume it has a display and "ack" button that transmits the message, and nak button
    
    davout: should you be able to log what goes through the airgap somehow?
    
    davout: how do you ensure what goes in on one side of the airgap is what goes out?
    
    mircea_popescu: well ideally by keeping the pieces simple.
    
    kakobrekla: i call it 'the gaper' as a tribute to ass gapes.
    
    mircea_popescu: lol
    
    mircea_popescu: also, if it has a display, that's your auditor
    
    davout: jurov: yeah, that's the manual case, but you might want to design an automated airgap
    
    mircea_popescu: no lma
    
    mircea_popescu: wtf is wrong with you ?
    
    jurov: lolwut?

    kakobrekla: 720 actually.
    
    mircea_popescu: let's argue about it.
    
    davout: wondering about what makes sense and what doesn't here
    
    jurov: what's the problem with manual checks?
    
    mircea_popescu: davout for all you know the internet is already automatically airgapped to all hell.
    
    davout: no probs with manual checks
    
    mircea_popescu: each hop in a traceroute
    
    jurov: so then why you want it to be automatic?
    
    davout: well, maybe there are some use cases where you want a uni-directional airgap
    
    davout: or maybe you want to enforce that only some sort of messages go through
    
    davout: guess that doesn't really count as an airgap if there isn't a manual step
    
    mircea_popescu: like a diode yeah. conceivably. not what an airgap is toh
    
    mircea_popescu: semiconductors aren't insulators.
    
    davout: just don't put an emitter on the airgapped machine, no need for fancy semiconductors :D
    
    mircea_popescu: not what i meant
    
    mircea_popescu: i meant, your directional, or message-aware or otherwise "airgap" is a semiconductor in the flux
    
    mircea_popescu: not an airgap (which is simply an insulator)
    
    davout: we were discussing airgaps earlier, with a good solution being optics, right?
    
    mircea_popescu: right
    
    davout: so if you don't put a light emitter on the airgap machine you necessarily end up with a one-way airgap, right?
    
    davout: that's the case i was thinking about, therefore not seeing a direct link to semi-conductors
    
    mircea_popescu: well in the theoretical sense of your q, yes.
    
    mircea_popescu: a diode is exactly this : current goes one way but not the other.
    
    davout: yup, a diode
    
    mircea_popescu: so think of your thing as a meta-diode.
    
    jurov: the airgap isn't about technology, but about being in complete control
    
    mircea_popescu: it doesn't work on electric flux, but "communication" flux
    
    davout: yes
    
    mircea_popescu: a diode, generally speaking, is a semiconductor.
    
    jurov: if you cede control to software then it's not airgap anymore
    
    davout: jurov: yup, no argument here
    
    mircea_popescu: but an airgap is not a semiconductor. the technical argument can be brougth that obviously semiconductors insulate
    
    mircea_popescu: at least some of the time.
    
    mircea_popescu: this is valid, but not what airgap means
    
    davout: more like a 'human cable'
