asciilifeform: punkman: how's that? reddit victim eats mcfood, lives in equiv. of prison cell typically, and the reddit per se maybe coupla kW-hr/mo.
phf: i don't think that orcs are strictly homo redditus, but asciilifeform is often intentionally not an entomologist, so he lumps everyone useless into same bucket
punkman: perhaps could say redditus is "our-democracy-optimized"
asciilifeform: phf: was thinking specifically of 'finished alcoholic' psychotype, rather than orcs as class
asciilifeform: it being most direct equiv. afaik to western 'redditus'
verisimilitude: I agree asciilifeform has a nasty habit of lumping together the lumpenproles.
asciilifeform finds most interesting what subj have ~in common~ rather than the minutiae of differences
verisimilitude: I remember back in 2020 when Reddit users were making posts from their windows, about those people who dared to go outside; many called the police on them.
asciilifeform: 'life in dead end' is afaik quite similar regardless of where geographically or what kinda dope one takes to make it to n+1st day

asciilifeform was astonished to discover a working catholic church deep in 'redzone', complete with functioning bells, etc
phf: the creatures that moved into office space in johanesburg, take shit into elevator shafts until full, moved to next place are evidently not redditors on numerours measures and observations (i assume self evident but can be further explored), yet have similar destructive effect on society. if they were closer to rome, would've all had iphones, pacified, working for ngos to create ubuntu for everyone
phf: not sure where this conversation is going though :> it's hot, and my basement office is not ready yet :D
phf: but i had some other comment
asciilifeform: per asciilifeform's model, they're 'redditors' in the sense where knocked outta whatever traditional social fabric, and for oddball 'modern' reasons no one could spare for'em a bullet, so instead 'feral'

asciilifeform: afaik there was a certain measure of gorby-style internal betrayal involved
phf: south africa is round 2, first round was rhodesia where immune system worked. it was collective will of the international kommuniti that directly translated into funding of the guerillas (by both the soviets, the americans and the brits. huh.)
phf: i mean rhodesian bush war lasted 15 years
asciilifeform: lived for surprisingly long time aha
phf: well among other things it presented all kinds of uncomfortable questions "what if we put a bunch of anglos on mars, probably will eat dirt like martians, ooops, seem to be building prosperous civilization, shut it down shut it down"
asciilifeform suspects prime mover there was 'simple as hammer' -- 'easier & cheaper to vacuum up strategic minerals from place fulla warring pygmies than from 'living fossil' strong country run by whites runaway from 1800s'
asciilifeform: aha, 'shut it down!1' etc
phf: ian smith's autobiography has the perfect title to sum it up "the great betrayal"

asciilifeform: key principal of reich is 'outside the reich walls, must be a cannibal zone always, never functioning industrial civ'

dulapbot: Logged on 2022-06-06 13:48:07 asciilifeform: included the irc knobs so as to remove 'blocking' problem of writing clients, guis, etc. but is certainly possible to drive a pestron via a dedicated interface w/out ircism
asciilifeform: and so, ideally the box which runs the pestron oughta be the one you type into. ( can use e.g. 'screen' over ssh to operate a remote pestron, but if you were to use it as plain irc server, anyone can snoop yer wot keys, and the login pw per se, and operate yer station whenever )
crtdaydreams is aware of this, was more on tack with obeying principles of "no info the observer"
asciilifeform: crtdaydreams: if you simply want to relay packets at a remote box, iirc phf recently posted a bsdism for doing this
crtdaydreams: link plox
phf is also curious, does not remember
crtdaydreams: will probably not use as sandboxen running www as aforementioned, but main gist of the q was whether or not running pestron on home boxen is considered "safe practice"
crtdaydreams: you've answered sufficiently though
asciilifeform: was in a recent bsd thrd, can't find for sumreason atm
asciilifeform: crtdaydreams: 'home box' is precisely the intended place, esp. after nat headaches permanently put to rest

phf: crtdaydreams: well, for example riding horses is a lot more fun than reading network protocol specifications. it's a complicated skill, that both engages mind and body in novel ways, that also has pleasant primary effects, like being able to make a giant animal do things. on the other hand reading specs is the opposite of riding horses.
crtdaydreams: phf: I don't think there is any other way to put this, it's not a matter of "don't have time," evidently spend enuff hours talking on here, it's more like "don't have energy." Working 10hr days and then just maintaining existence (meat chores, bills etc) takes it out of ya. Then classic "grass is greener on other side" parable. So any existing spare time is sucked into
crtdaydreams: unproductive behaviour. Is the best thing I can do to simply gtfo of the way?
crtdaydreams: yucky word vomit
phf: crtdaydreams: you have kids?
crtdaydreams: nope
phf: why are you workin 10hr days then
crtdaydreams: To honor my father and perhaps give him a chance of retirement due to my fuckups.
phf: for some reason read that in jackir aprile jr.'s voice
crtdaydreams: lol
crtdaydreams: summary would be "karen took the kids"
phf: 10hr work days are a minimax, if you're not junior analyst at goldman with a prospect to retire in 5 years by working 16 hr days 10 hr is usually a bad deal
crtdaydreams living it; is fully aware of this
phf: if i were you, i'd optimize for "what is the least amount of work i can do for max amount of compensation and still live", and then having attained that stable platform move from there, having a significantly opened up opportunity space
phf: but i've also noticed that when somebody says "my fuck ups" somehere there followed by "my father" usually end up like jackie aprile jr, because in love with own cockroaches too much. no idea if that applies to you, not knowing your situation, but usually people are in bad situations because they have the kind of obligations that require them to transcend some kind of pricinples, e.g. fuck my kids i'm moving to oaxaca, mex. can also go
phf: in the opposite direction "if i change something, will have to throw out this old computer chair, tell my chuck'e'cheese boss i'm leaving, will break his heart"
crtdaydreams: I'm currently being paid more than over9000 other individuals in my age bracket, I'm not complaining, it comes at the cost of 8-6, I am probably doing the least amount of work to live comfortably with $$$ to spare, not living on 2min noodles, not in debt to uni etc.

asciilifeform: fwiw asciilifeform concedes that current spec aint a ripper of a time reading. is adhoc, verbose, and in places laughably incomplete description of what oughta be pretty simple mechanism.
phf: asciilifeform: you can indirectly though. plenty of "they doing it wong", which by implication makes what is done here "right", no?
asciilifeform: phf: 'newton method' attempt at converging to 'right'
asciilifeform: nobody forced to agree, observe, however. folx who 'the correct way to chat is aol' know where to find aol.
phf: asciilifeform: ah, i got it, it's that thing signpost tells me i do. in my defense i wrote a handful of specs, would not expect anyone to think it's a riveting reading. honestly i thought we'd be on the same page re "why in god's world would you read technical details of a thing i'm working on without also working on it. there's so many more fun things to do"
crtdaydreams: I apologise for my insolence asciilifeform, phf. I've only meaningfully read through the pest spec once, other 4 times were simply a perusal from nothingburger conversations. It's evident that I have nothing to contribute and will take my leave.
punkman: phf: do you perhaps know of simple e2e encrypted messenger for android?
asciilifeform: phf: indeed offen enuff asciilifeform surprised when finds who reads his various materials and how ended up doing so
asciilifeform: 'i was looking for a usb debugger for xiaomi'
asciilifeform: crtdaydreams: in case not clear, asciilifeform dun particularly care whether you read it, and doesn't mind answering whatever q's. but think whether is even what you wanted -- maybe wanted 'debugger for xiaomi' and here by pure accident...
punkman: I enjoyed trying to implement earlier Pest spec. learned a few bits about networking/sockets/etc
punkman: kinda ran out of steam when I started pulling out sqlite for simpler "k-v" store
asciilifeform: iirc verisimilitude also recently read up on ip stack etc., learned ada, as side effect of following thrd
asciilifeform: punkman: on asciilifeform's chalkboard there is 'clean k-v store on 'cryostat'' but who knows if will live longenuff
phf: asciilifeform: you provide useful function to a handful of neets, a comfy place to hang and learn with frens, but the answer to my question "why you read the spec 5 times" is "i didn't really"
asciilifeform: phf: some folx use word 'read' to refer to the kind of activity schoolchildren often found in, a kind of pantomime of study
phf: didn't start this thread as some kind of learning exercise, was genuinely baffled
phf: punkman: i don't, but what's your usecase? the reason why i'm asking is because i sort of understand the problem you're trying to solve, and i couldn't solve it myself, in a broader sense than just "tool for my phone".
asciilifeform: afaik the 1 confessed 'neet' was jonsykkel ( for whom asciilifeform would trade three battalions of 'decent' people, lol ) but may be orthogonal to yer point
phf: verisimilitude was by his own admission
asciilifeform pictures verisimilitude as seekrit bastard son of some rockefeller
asciilifeform: then again could easily be hobo with a lappy; tight-lipped fella , not gives enuff hint re which
punkman: something that you can tell friend to grab from app store and is not a "telegram"/"signal". mostly for two party communication, no group function needed
asciilifeform: punkman: surely you aint under the notion that a pestron would last >5sec in an 'appstore
punkman: not asking for pestron, but why wouldn't it
phf: punkman: i have an app (for iphone, because that's who i needed to cover), that talks to own server, using nacl, it's a very dumb messenger that can send text and photos. i use it to talk to wife and a handful of relatives. i side installed it. i've not ever upgraded since the early development.
asciilifeform can think of several solid reasons, but will leave as exercise
asciilifeform: phf: iirc shinohai actually operates a pestron in this style
phf: asciilifeform: my "protocol" if you call it that is a lot more needy than pest, because not trying to fight fbi or whatever. for example there's a lot of back and forth over "did you get the message? yes i got the message. are you sure you got the message? yes, i'm sure, did you get my message that i'm sure" etc.
asciilifeform: fwiw (and apologies to folx for whom this fact 100% obv) -- pest is an algo, rather than 'product'; anyone who wants can not only use 'internally' but refine and diverge in whatever preferred way, and not expected to necessarily tell asciilifeform & co. or advertise, is simply mechanical refinement of ancient tech.
billymg: punkman: https://pgpro.app/ (ios only, and not meant for back and forth chat, but very easy to use for normies) technically open source but who knows what you're getting when you download the binary from the app store
asciilifeform: ( re 'why' -- asciilifeform outlined at agonizing pedantic length in log, aims to make conceivable wotronic p2p net, for applications including but not limited to text chats, with reasonable resistance to jamming . had been working on similar since early 2000s. )
phf: asciilifeform: i'm not sure who this directed to, but it kind of seems like it's a conversation with me still?
asciilifeform: phf: aimed at hypothetical reader, lol
asciilifeform: (the kind who wonders 'do i need to read this, or am i looking for a xiaomi debugger' lol)
asciilifeform: billymg: imho the wisdom of keeping longterm keys of whatever kind on a pnoje or similar vendor-controlled device -- questionable
asciilifeform: is 1 reason wai asciilifeform not eager to 'but could put this on pnoje, for n00bs and nontechnicals, wai not do so'
phf: i think the conclusion of this conversation is "read my, asciilifeform's, spec 5 times? of course one should, not to say that not reading it marks one for some kind of imbecile, a dimwit, a person of poor taste, and even lesser standing, that is not what i, asciilifeform, say at all, but would i be surprised if one were to do it, out of own volition? not at all, for it is written by me!"
asciilifeform: ( billymg see also )
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-26 17:26:54 asciilifeform: the fundamental problem with 'duct tape and chewing gum' ciphermachines, is that it is very, very easy to fool yourself into thinking that you've achieved something, when in fact you have led yourself and -- worse, possibly people with actual secrets to protect -- to the chopping block, by putting same linux+opensores liquishitware into pocket-sized vaguely-ciphermachine-like package.
billymg: asciilifeform: of course, but assumed punkman wasn't looking for "thwart the nsa" levels of security when he asked for "something that you can tell friend to grab from app store"
asciilifeform: phf: n00b walks in; cites a pest thrd, asks n00b q; asciilifeform : 'read sect. x of spec' . is typical. but not equiv. to 'what, imbecile, haven't read fucking scripture?' of mp, and imho disingenuous parallel
shinohai: logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-06-13#1106463 << yeah running pestronics on phone won't be for avg. "app for that" user, requires getting hands dirty.
asciilifeform: billymg: plenty of heathen chats in appstore atm neh
asciilifeform: what's the point of making an n+1st ?
asciilifeform: an 'appstore pest' is arguably similar to 'central bank cryptocurrency' and other bizarre wastes of kilowattage
asciilifeform: ... why have the moving parts for p2p, if you're giving hitler the keyz right off the bat.
phf: asciilifeform: but see i'm not talking to you either, just a hypothetical reader, who might find my dandyism humorous
asciilifeform: phf: a++, plz continue if have the cycles
asciilifeform enjoys phf's crit, usually is 100% irrefutable
phf: asciilifeform: on a serious note though i think that there should perhaps in this kind of cases be an explicit distinction between a sysop and a luser. no reason why small community of people who are less technically inclined can't get some kind of localized central authority to manage this kind of stuff. in fact i'd love for there to be more products like that. "just give me a way to configure it once, but then present a very smooth
phf: surface to the end user"
asciilifeform: ^ imho entirely reasonable
asciilifeform: 194x: 'he's the radio man of our rote kapelle' 202x: 'he's our pester'
phf: aha
asciilifeform: if the thing had some kinda uptake somewhere, prolly would take this form often enuff

bitbot: (pest) 2022-06-08 asciilifeform: awt: was thinking about a hypothetical blatta mod for emplacing e.g. a n00b gate in place of dulapnet;
dulapbot: Logged on 2022-06-06 13:43:52 asciilifeform: signpost: would be handy to have it in #a (which asciilifeform plans to keep around as a n00b door, until figures out a way to cleanly bridge an irc door to pestnet) but not essential imho
asciilifeform: upstack, fwiw the hash chains thing solves this reasonably compactly. ( and aint in any sense orig. idea of asciilifeform's, stolen 'lock stock and barrel' from bitcoin )
dulapbot: Logged on 2022-06-13 17:31:10 phf: asciilifeform: my "protocol" if you call it that is a lot more needy than pest, because not trying to fight fbi or whatever. for example there's a lot of back and forth over "did you get the message? yes i got the message. are you sure you got the message? yes, i'm sure, did you get my message that i'm sure" etc.

asciilifeform: 'trampled in run to fire exits'
phf: asciilifeform: particular mechanism exists in the whole evidence of absence vs absence of evidence territory and depending on how you twist your nobs or flags you expose become one or another. then there's also user facing indicators.
asciilifeform: phf: possibly failure of imagination on my part, but can't think presently of even theoretical moar compact or cheaper mechanism for synchronized set
asciilifeform: (than chains, that is)
asciilifeform: there's of course stochastic sync ( e.g. luby ) but not ideal for low-traffic link like chat
asciilifeform: ( and considerably 'hungrier' even at most miserly rate )
asciilifeform: ideally, of course, chains for 'chat' and luby&friends for GB warez...
phf: asciilifeform: you're missing my meaning
asciilifeform: plox to expand then
asciilifeform: ( 'indicator of missing msg for user' atm is necessarily very poor, given how irc behaves 'like teletype' )
phf: i'm talking about how this thing applies to practical usage and what it indicates. every time one recieves a getchain request, knows that the other side is alive and knows at least up to getchain's argument (because no way to tell if anything that you resent in response to get chain got delivered)
phf: conversly other side is free to choose when it asks to getchain in entirely unbounded way
asciilifeform: not quite, only knows that you have that 1 particular msg (you could be missing other predecessors somewhere)
phf: can never ask (and yet theoretically still got all messages)
phf: or can be asking at us frequency
phf: so the question becomes "when to ask for efficient"
asciilifeform: also whom to ask ( in current spec, is 'ask whole net' which arguably quite wasteful )
phf: at a certain frequency getchain becomes essentially ack
phf: at a lower frequency it becomes a poll
phf: sorry /at a higher frequency/ becomes poll
asciilifeform: well erry incoming broadcast from given net 'is an ack' in this sense, if you recv'd a msg, you can see whether its netchain includes what you had just sent
asciilifeform: so avoids poll when not req'd
asciilifeform: (and when req'd, the station with 'gap' knows what to ask for to fill)
phf: asciilifeform: yes, but one doesn't ever have to broadcast, so this "outgoing is also an ack", complicates the reasoniing not simplifies it
phf: the point of this whole frequency talk is not to just know that there's messages eventually, but /when/ you know
asciilifeform: phf: arguably there's an unnecessary barb in current protocol, where netchain is unused for direct msg sessions -- really oughta be treated as simply special case of broadcast in that sense, where netchain includes the 2 parties strictly
phf: obv will know fastest if sending getchain at us speeds, yolo
phf: pragmatic solution is probably "send it at human speeds and as an effect of human attention", but you just moved beyond "clever protocol" into "hacks" territory. and i'm not saying that it can even be solved without hacks
asciilifeform: ( the other objective, ftr, of chains, aside from delivery ack / getdata, is to make msgs meaningless outta context, further complicating replay attack )
phf: e.g. when one opens chat with x, in gui, send getchain always
asciilifeform: phf: this function currently served by 'prod' (there aint a 'getchain', there's a 'getdata' which takes specific msg hash, and a 'prod' which sends yer current state vars )
asciilifeform reminds tuned in folx that afaik none of the current prototypes implement 'prod'
phf: asciilifeform: that's completely unrelated to what i'm saying
asciilifeform comes up short re how not related. read phf's observation as 'there oughta be a way to ask $peer at time t 'are we in sync'', which atm is offered in 'prod' mechanism
asciilifeform: there are well-known 'lamportian' limits to what can be achieved in general this say (to take simple example, say the 'prod' lags behind a n+1st msg due to packet reordering)
asciilifeform: *this way
asciilifeform: ( possibly what phf meant under 'proofs of absence' ? )
dulapbot: Logged on 2022-06-13 18:15:21 phf: the point of this whole frequency talk is not to just know that there's messages eventually, but /when/ you know
asciilifeform: phf: atm the net operates at a reasonable multiple of 'human attention freq', as side effect of 'send 'ignores' to keep nat ephemeral port open' originally
asciilifeform: this defo not 'optimally miserly' however
asciilifeform: if sending msgs cost a buck ea., would need to be rockefeller.
asciilifeform: (fortunately it doesn't)
phf: so in other words one can send getdata every second to everyone and not be concerned
asciilifeform: ( this incidentally illustrates (entire class of) unsolved problems in re hypothetical 'uwb radio pest' )
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: ( in the hypothetical 'uwb pest' -- erry msg you send potentially demasks yer position and brings gestapo closer )
asciilifeform: ( i.e. makes less plausible the assertion 'hey i wasn't pirateradioing, i merely flicked my 'bic' with piezo igniter to light a cig, wanna light?' )
asciilifeform: uninitiated folx would be surprised to learn what 'pirate sw radios' they already own...
