asciilifeform: anyone know who is this ? box apparently dead since 5 mar

asciilifeform: appears to sit in singapore.

asciilifeform: ( iirc trinque had a node there. possibly, is his ? )

shinohai: RIP

asciilifeform: shinohai: very easy to laff at other folxs' broken things, but where's e.g. your noad ?

asciilifeform: ... or the bot genesis ?

asciilifeform: or, iirc shinohai was doing the ffa exercises? what happened to that ?

shinohai: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-03-09#1008548 << still doing ffa, most of past few weeks since the last time we discussed spent nursing sick womenfolk.

snsabot: Logged on 2020-03-09 16:02:00 asciilifeform: or, iirc shinohai was doing the ffa exercises? what happened to that ?

shinohai: my noad, lab only as i still havent committed a box to one and sure as fuck can run one efficiently on home pipe.

asciilifeform: shinohai: i have a 'apu3' unit coming in ~2wks, if yer interested.

asciilifeform: 4GB of ecc ram.

asciilifeform: will be priced at 20watt (its peak draw.)

shinohai: uses same gentoo as other boxes?

asciilifeform: shinohai: same

asciilifeform: shinohai: of course you can use own os if you want

asciilifeform: i simply dun use any others myself. so that gentoo is the default offer.

shinohai: re: ffa currently almost finished w ch6, never got word if you mirrored 5 http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2071#comment-19871

asciilifeform: shinohai: i'ma update sig mirror in sync w/ next ch

asciilifeform: was orig planning to have place where e.g. shinohai could upload these and have'em eaten mechanically, by this month, but hands sadly quite full recently w/ rubbish

asciilifeform: shinohai: finding any difficulties in ch6 ?

asciilifeform: 6 is the end of the 'max simple/slow rsa' warmup sequence.

shinohai: Nah nothing so far I can't work through.

asciilifeform: who read 1-6, can write rsa verifier in any lang.

shinohai: i've been playing around with verifier for esthlos-v but nothing to write about yet.

shinohai: Mostly scattered notes.

asciilifeform: shinohai: for some reason i thought he had one built in there

asciilifeform: ( possib. that was in somebody else's cl vtron ? )

shinohai: it makes callouts to gpg, no reason cant modify that to call to you peh wrapper or whatever

asciilifeform: could. but also could simply write verifier in cl, there's no particular reason public ops can't be made in the native lang

asciilifeform: ftr i'm not entirely satisfied w/ the shell-around-peh gpg verifier -- was unable to make it run on generic 'sh' rather than 'bash', and by all indications impossible (raw 'sh' dun seem to support arrays at all)

asciilifeform: i suspect the other folx (e.g. bvt) who wrote nontrivial proggies in shell, will also eventually come to grief. the behaviour of the thing is malevolently nonstandard across unixes.

asciilifeform: potentially solvable by '10,000-year reich 1 troo os' standardization; but would have to standardize a bash-compat. sh, rather than plain sh

shinohai: The array problem has kept me limited to pure bash as well

asciilifeform: shinohai: re esthlos's vtron -- given that cl has built-in bignum, you could prolly write mod-exp in coupla line

asciilifeform: as for gpg format, it is imho adequately illustrated in ch20.

asciilifeform: arguably the Right Thing for cases like ch20's, would be a proper strings lib for ada.

asciilifeform: but atm not enuff hands.

asciilifeform: in unrelated oddities :

asciilifeform: ^ aint a bitcoin noad at all. spammed .27 w/ coupla thou. blox that don't resemble any in actual chain.

asciilifeform: there's a number of these in the known universe, annoying but afaik harmless to trb operators.

asciilifeform: would be interesting to learn whether they could in principle wedge a 'cold start' trb that -connect's to one

asciilifeform: ( wai anyone would end up doing this, is a mystery, but theoretically good test of 'reorg' mechanism nevertheless )
