00:02 mod6 Happy birthday alf!
00:02 asciilifeform ty mod6 !
00:02 mod6 ofc, :]
00:03 shinohai С Днем рожденья!
00:03 asciilifeform спасибо shinohai
00:10 BingoBoingo Felicidades
00:10 lobbes happy bday asciilifeform
00:10 asciilifeform danke, BingoBoingo , lobbes .
~ 16 minutes ~
00:27 asciilifeform meanwhile in 'fan mail' .
00:38 Vexual another trip around the sun? well done sir
00:41 asciilifeform lol ty Vexual
00:42 shinohai Virtually unscathed by the cosmic rays even.
00:43 asciilifeform no meteorite holes, even!11
00:44 shinohai One hole, right in the FeNi! (*ba dum TISS)
00:53 BingoBoingo Only have a week and a half until you venture in a machine designed to reduce the amount of air between you and the source of the rays.

01:59 asciilifeform lol that ^ was a truly terribad photo wasn't it.
01:59 Vexual I like it
01:59 asciilifeform ( combo shot of 3, so 3x the dust )
02:01 * asciilifeform used a 35mm negative scanner for these
02:02 Vexual to digitize? or to expose?
02:02 asciilifeform former
02:02 asciilifeform how exposed, is written in the orig article
02:03 Vexual I just looked at the pictures. I'm sure as shit not going to repeat the experiment
02:04 asciilifeform subj. contact print.
02:04 asciilifeform theoretically if had exposed die, could in fact bring out whole thing to a4 film, tube is a needlepoint 'microfocus' w/ beryllium window.
02:11 asciilifeform beam source pictured there.
02:11 snsabot (trilema) 2019-02-16 asciilifeform: in other noose, instrument pr0n : http://www.loper-os.org/pub/misc/mx20/panel.jpg http://www.loper-os.org/pub/misc/mx20/inside1.jpg http://www.loper-os.org/pub/misc/mx20/achtung.jpg http://www.loper-os.org/pub/misc/mx20/inside2.jpg
02:16 asciilifeform wasn't much of an experiment, Vexual , was equip. test really.
02:16 Vexual I see
02:17 Vexual You made some nice images
02:18 asciilifeform i still have the instrument, it will be handy when next batch of defective pcb ends up on desk.
02:18 snsabot Logged on 2019-11-08 22:10:38 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and i admit that i'm looking forward to seeing folx grow hands in the process of trying to remake / do w/out , e.g. FG. i expect that diana_coman for instance will soon find out why i needed a microscope, and why it would have been pretty great to have the (such hated by mp) xray instrument when crates of subtly defective pcb's come in from factory.
02:20 Vexual still got film?
02:20 asciilifeform indeed
02:27 asciilifeform perhaps strangely, the least grainy film was that dental crapola from india. rather than the 'proper' a4 kodak.
02:27 Vexual lol
02:29 asciilifeform 'fuji a4' , also grainy, for thread-completeness.
02:30 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: India produces pretty much all of the world's medical supplies consumed outside the US. They probably do sufficient volume to refine their quality.
02:30 asciilifeform possibly film is blameless, oughta have used straight exposure instead of scintillator sheet.
02:32 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: ~in~ us also
02:32 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Last time I was there, all the generic drugs were "Teva" outta Israel, but that may have changed.
02:33 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: 'teva' makes the pseudo-generics, i.e. that price-fixing scheme where 1 usg-designated vendors gets to 'genericize'
02:34 asciilifeform y'know, where 'generic' xyz still costs 900$/bottle, instead of the 10c would've cost if made su-style
02:35 asciilifeform (ameri-damaged folx are , as i gather, expected to fall on knees and thank Great Inca that it's 'omfg 900 and not 9000 like orig brand' )
02:35 BingoBoingo Right, but they US also has that weird thing where they gotta fund their unsinkable aircraft carrier on the Mediterranean that for some reason can't stop drawing aggro
02:36 asciilifeform absolutely nuffin that sits on a standard pharmacy shelf costs > 1$ / bottle to actually make.
02:36 BingoBoingo Here everything is Euro brands or India doing their patent pissing thing
02:36 asciilifeform ( there are expensive oddities like e.g. human butyrylcholinesterase, 'v-gas' pre-battle antidote, but it aint in plebe pharmacy )
02:38 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: israel lives off usg's 'intellectual property'(tm)(r) fairy tale to much greater, afaik, extent, than the phree tanks/jets/etc
02:39 BingoBoingo Well... it's a soviet shithole like Uruguay... without the cows or the space to do cows.
02:42 asciilifeform they can annex the petrostans and get 500x bigger whenever they feel like taking off the washington yoke.
02:42 Vexual How so?
02:44 asciilifeform 1.5e6 bayonets + supposedly decent armour + not fucking cousins, oughta be good for some lebensraum, neh.
02:45 Vexual folks don't like dying these days alf
02:45 asciilifeform errybody , lol, dies, 'like' or notlike
02:46 Vexual true enough
02:47 asciilifeform iirc adlai described serving in tank platoon and eating lsd inside tank outta boredom.
02:47 BingoBoingo I thought the orthodox population breeding with rabbits did the cousin fucking thing. Hence their weird genetic conditions.
02:48 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: these afaik dun get drafted en masse, yet
02:48 Vexual i suspect adlai decided not to die that day too
02:52 asciilifeform Vexual: y'know some folx in usa actually move there ? just to join army and maybe see action
02:53 asciilifeform (because in usa army : e.g. this . )
02:53 snsabot (trilema) 2019-03-01 asciilifeform: at one time did work that put'im in contact with these folx. met a d00d who, convincingly, described playing 'call of duty: iraq' on... lappy, in actual iraq
02:54 Vexual i did not know that
02:55 asciilifeform war is essential 'vitamin' for sanity, for man. 'civilized' world cooks in own juices, i'm entirely convinced, because no proper war to be had.
02:55 asciilifeform tabletop death in tabletop 'war' aint quite satisfactory substitute, turns out.
02:57 Vexual engineer always stays behing to extricate machine. dangerous job
02:58 Vexual 2 hands only
02:58 asciilifeform iirc adlai was driver-mechanic aha
02:58 asciilifeform 'мехвод' on asciilifeform's homeworld.
02:59 Vexual can't read but i get it
03:00 * asciilifeform would guess that they have a similar neologism, there, il bureaucracy is closely modeled on ye olde sovok, for the very obv. reason
03:00 Vexual where?
03:01 asciilifeform israel
03:01 Vexual ah
03:08 asciilifeform 'peace' for most folx is ~= waiting to die of boredom in crowded train goin' nowhere.
03:16 Vexual Most folks

~ 47 minutes ~
04:38 * asciilifeform has been reading jfw's proggy. e.g. this is pretty interesting -- apparently fella not only read ffa series ( how far didja read, jfw ? ) but in fact did sumthing constructive !
04:40 asciilifeform this here also imho interesting : 'An implication of this encoding is that even though [TRB] only emits uncompressed form, and no implementation has ever to my knowledge used hybrid form, there are three P2PKH addresses spendable by any given private key, and a consensus-compatible verifier must support all forms.'
04:41 asciilifeform wonder whether the historic chain contains all 3 variants. and what would happen if one were to construct 'doublespend' crowbar re same.
04:43 Vexual only just clicked on this. it's definitely worth looking at
04:44 Vexual did you have some vodka?
04:45 Vexual i expect police
04:46 Vexual if you got a proper enlarger.
04:50 Vexual i might be talking out of turn
04:51 Vexual is this the guy with a new cr house?
04:55 Vexual here my .za accent
04:55 Vexual wot kikban
04:56 Vexual i'll solve myselft into a devilish pit
04:57 Vexual vex out
~ 8 hours 25 minutes ~
13:22 shinohai In other fun this morning:
13:22 shinohai 08:21:17 shinohai !eval: +
13:22 shinohai 08:21:17 mal-bot #<Proc:0x0000562e855866c8@/home/malbot/mal-bot/core.rb:31 (lambda)>
~ 2 hours 21 minutes ~
15:44 asciilifeform shinohai: what's that ?
15:44 shinohai It's an eval bot for the https://github.com/kanaka/mal chan. I was determined to find *which* implementation it used xD
15:46 asciilifeform shinohai: lulzy. there's e.g. an amazingly ugly (rampant heapism, among other ughs) ada lisp in there
15:47 shinohai Yeah I saw it and kind lul'd ... I was experimenting with the bash version (which with a few tweaks is very nice for scripting)
15:49 shinohai I managed to get it to perform a few bitwise ops, eg:
15:49 shinohai ./eval http://btc.info.gf/paste/c14a6d@raw
15:49 btcinfobot a = 88
15:49 btcinfobot b = 13
15:49 btcinfobot Left shift of a and b is: 720896
15:49 btcinfobot Right shift of a and b is: 0
15:49 btcinfobot BITWISE AND of a and b is: 8
15:49 btcinfobot BITWISE INCLUSIVE OR of a and b is: 93
15:49 btcinfobot BITWISE EXCLUSIVE OR of a and b is: 85
15:49 btcinfobot [00;32mNIL[0m
15:49 shinohai (apologies for spammy output)
15:52 * shinohai 's main gripe is the clojure-like syntax heh
~ 26 minutes ~
16:18 shinohai http://archive.is/nICsM "It looks like [this file] tries to exfiltrate SSH and GPG keys from a user's computer and send them to this IPaddress: http://68.183.212.246:32258."
16:19 shinohai `pip3 install rekt`
~ 1 hours ~
17:19 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: potential q fodder ^ there .
17:20 BingoBoingo Giving the thing a look
17:21 shinohai I promise not to come and make provocative comments.
~ 22 minutes ~
17:44 asciilifeform spyked: can plz add jfw's www to the feedbot roster for #a ? ty
17:51 feedbot http://qntra.net/2019/12/some-key-stealing-libraries-found-in-python-package-index/ << Qntra -- Some Key Stealing Libraries Found in Python Package Index
~ 20 minutes ~
18:11 asciilifeform will link manually : jfw has an optimized keccaktron . tested; builds, seems to work (matches output of the traditional one by diana_coman when set to 256bit capacity.)
18:15 shinohai I'm still trying to fix esthlos keccak ... it does build and work properly, but as I discussed w/ spyked cannot pipe stdin to it, can only read from file.
18:16 asciilifeform shinohai: fella in fact found an algebraic simplification for the thing, i gotta take off hat
18:16 asciilifeform this is iirc 1st time anyone posted an algo imho worth cribbing, since apeloyee vanished
18:16 asciilifeform !q seen-anywhere apeloyee
18:16 snsabot apeloyee last seen in #trilema on 2018-01-17 15:25:16: !#s whisperers
18:17 asciilifeform i'ma crib an' adaize jfw's method after i 'fit in head' w/ paper & pen..
18:19 shinohai I saw his post in logs on scheme bits for trb, will read posts when time permits.
18:21 asciilifeform shinohai: he has a (apparently complete, tho i did not test) secp256k1 engine in there. tho to use in 'peh' i'ma need to make physical bounds analysis for it.
18:22 asciilifeform ( jfw's bignum system is made along traditional line, i.e. permits expanding bitnesses for integers )
18:24 asciilifeform ( even to run on plain ffa, rather than in peh proper, would need this. e.g. what is max bitness of 'scalar*' output ? )
18:29 jurov asciilifeform: FG serial output is 5V or 3.3V ?
18:30 asciilifeform jurov: 3.3. it'll work w/ 5v-eating converters tho, is above the typical 2v high threshold .
18:30 jurov can't find usb serial cable, considering rpi which is 3.3V device
18:30 asciilifeform jurov: oughta work. so long as you feed FG 5v on the + pin as it expects.
18:31 asciilifeform jurov: didja get both of yer crates btw ?
18:31 jurov yes, both
18:31 asciilifeform ok good
18:31 asciilifeform jurov: make sure to config the tty as shown in the instruction (to disable controlflow 'magic' chars.)
18:32 BingoBoingo jurov: ty for the update.
18:32 BingoBoingo All 4 arrived in good condition?
18:32 jurov BingoBoingo: yours not yet
18:32 BingoBoingo AH
18:34 asciilifeform ftr : if anyone finds that he has damaged his FG , plz contact not asciilifeform , but jfw , if want to buy spare parts ( jfw purchased the entire stock of spare analogue boards . )
18:35 asciilifeform ( i do not know if he's making'em available for purchase, but that's where they are nao. )
18:36 asciilifeform jurov: if yer feeding it ~from~ a 'raspberry', make sure the pin can supply at least 3mA @ 5v .
18:38 asciilifeform jurov: one of my early tty converters had a 3.3/5v selector jumper, but it affected only ~output~ (tx), recall that FG does not accept any ~input~ from comp.
18:39 asciilifeform FG is a pure output dev. (like e.g. microphones.)
18:50 asciilifeform ( it ~can~ be forced to accept external ~clock~ pulses, in 'yoke' mode, see instr. sheet. but this is prolly not of interest to most owners. )
18:55 jurov rpi has 5V Vcc pin to feed various "shields", it can surely do 3mA
18:55 asciilifeform jurov: is this yer 1st FG ? ( for some reason i thought you had some prior )
18:56 jurov first one
18:56 asciilifeform a.
18:56 asciilifeform congrats jurov
19:09 asciilifeform jurov: i highly rec to carry out the traditional tests , before using in battlefield.
19:10 asciilifeform ( see the user test reports linked on the legacy www re how. )
19:16 asciilifeform jurov: if planning to use in a server, see the photo there ^ , or here , i've yet to find a rackable machine where there is nowhere for at least 1 FG to live.
19:16 jurov yes, thx. and it it works, 7.3kB/s of fine distilled garbage :)
19:16 asciilifeform a+++
19:17 asciilifeform being an entropy collector, FG ~likes~ heat. put'em near warm things, like e.g. raid card as shown in latter link
19:18 jurov ok
19:18 jurov the second one works too
19:19 jurov fun fact, rpi runs getty on /dev/ttyAMA0 by default... and it quickly segfaulted
19:21 asciilifeform lol fg fed into shell... pretty good 'fuzz'
19:21 asciilifeform if only you had recorded what it had eaten...
