bonechewer: All of the above nonwithstanding, my contention is simply that there is a worthwhile point on the continuum between pest and offline paper OTP

asciilifeform: lol!
asciilifeform: signpost: tmsr-themed shite, or generic ?
bonechewer: And an airgapped, portable OTPtron vulnerable only to TEMPEST is a worthwhile intermediate point that should exist; should at least be specced out in adequate detail to permit work on one to get underway.
signpost: nope, lots of taproot shit lately https://twitter.com/pete_rizzo_
signpost mighty entertained that this entire branch of history is written atop anyonecanspend
asciilifeform: bonechewer: the problem with (as i understand from prev thrd) your approach, is that 'legoware' is a 100% dead end, it cannot be turned into sane systems, and especially not by the types of folx who accept legoware to start with
cdd: signpost: It was a "perhaps" not an absolute. I'm just interested in what happened here, not a fucking twittertard here to shill opinions and post shit.
signpost: cdd: btw n00b rating is an honor. you are unaware of the cultural context.
asciilifeform: bonechewer: likewise, the cost differential b/w lego and sanity is 2-3 usd zeroes, and the temptation to cut those 0s is virtually irresistible unless yer a self-destructive fanatic like asciilifeform circa '14-15
signpost: (tiny honor, but honor!)
signpost: cdd: just saying much happened, quite worth reading.
asciilifeform: bonechewer: for background info, the cost of fabricating the 1st 100 FGs was ~5k usd. and that's not counting asciilifeform's time , or 1st microbatch of prototypes with defective solder joins , asciilifeform's microscopy time and fight w/ the board people, etc etc
asciilifeform: or the 500+hrs of exhaustive burn-in testing, or, or.
asciilifeform: and that's for a simple-as-hammer, comparatively, item, that was merely a rather slow rng !
asciilifeform: i.e. a tool which pisses trng bits at ~7kB/s outta serial line.
asciilifeform: today that 5k would be 10-15, post-hyperinflation (and counting)
asciilifeform: and not to mention parts shortages.

thimbronion: shinohai: in case you couldn't see in #pest: were you able to verify whether the bot is or isn't receiving messages at both the pest level and the IRC level?
thimbronion: For ex, the above message shows up in my logs as: 2021-11-15 06:43:11.311144 [67.166.203.177:7778] <- 0bbe29dda41c1f9c. You should be able to see that hex number with the arrow going the other way in your log.
thimbronion: 2021-11-15 06:43:11.281190 [127.0.0.1:53954] -> "PRIVMSG #pest :shinohai: were you able to verify whether the bot is or isn't receiving messages at both the pest level and the IRC level?\r\n" <-- this is what the irc message from my irc client to the pest station looks like in my log.
shinohai: thimbronion: unpeered bot from myself then manually added key, etc using weechat. Restarted bot. It still spits out msg: 2021-11-15 11:50:55.736051 Discarding message to unknown handle or handle with no key
thimbronion: oooooh interesting
shinohai: Now in bot's logs it *sees me calling messages* and prints 'em to the log. Somehow there is no longer a channel in the field it's supposed to be in - and this behavior persists even when I moved bot back to older version of blatta.
shinohai: Bot also doesn't respond to DM's, so nfi
thimbronion: shinohai: when you do /wot busybot, is there a key in the response?
shinohai: yup there is ket there
shinohai: *key
thimbronion: shinohai: can you paste a logline of the command missing the channel field from both the IRC client and the pest station broadcast?
thimbronion: ftr billymg it's possible your bot can't handle irc messages with the optional prefix set to only the nick: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1459#section-2.3.1. In blatta versions prior to 9989 this value was being set to nick@ip.
thimbronion: Because who would ever not want to share their IP with the whole world?
punkman: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/science/articles/needle-points-vaccinations-chapter-three
jonsykkel: someone pear me on blatta i wana test
billymg: shinohai: looks like you figured out how to get your bot working, what was the change?
shinohai: billymg: It 'twas as awt said - he removed the `user@host` bit from client.py and now only prints user.
shinohai: I still have some bot fiddling to do to get it to respond to DM's tho
cgra: i wonder if my brain was revving backwards, when i came up with this, because now i can't find sense in it. did asciilifeform grasp? :P
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-12 08:54:46 cgra: asciilifeform: haven't tested this, but i suspect that an obey_sendbuffersize node (A), when catching up blocks, may end up banning peer (B) with >2x the sendbuffersize, if B advertises blocks with full capacity, in response to A's "getblocks"
asciilifeform: cgra: it made sense: an unpatched (or patched with higher permissible sendbuffer length) noad may end up banned by a patched one where max sendbuffer is smaller
asciilifeform: cgra: didn't turn out to be a problem in practice -- trb-compat. nodes don't spam multi-dozen-MB contin. sends.
asciilifeform operates 2 noads w/ the patch, and had 0 serious sync problems since patching in feb. 2020.
dulapbot: Logged on 2020-02-27 10:44:22 asciilifeform: attn trb operators: 205.134.172.27 is nao running mod6's latest variant, augmented with this experimental patch (my sig thereof ) .
cgra: asciilifeform: if A is catching up blocks, B isn't going to send getdata to A (and trigger the obey_sendbuffersize check), but the other way around. is why i'm confused atm
asciilifeform: cgra: indeed it's the other way around
asciilifeform: cgra: trb simply doesn't send massive getdatas : it's 'headers-first sync' prb nodes which do this.
cgra: so how does A end up banning B then, if no getdata comes from B?
asciilifeform: (well that an' 'wedger.py, lol)
asciilifeform: cgra: A bans B if B sends massive getdata.
asciilifeform: if B is a trb-compat. noad -- it won't, simply
asciilifeform: hence wai no prob to date.
signpost: anecdotally, I had chest pains for months after the vax
cgra: asciilifeform: i'm referring specifically to my earlier claim -- there's this 2x sendbuffersize thing too. i know trb sends only that many blocks what its sendbuffersize can hold. and also seen how prb streams in 500 block bursts
