00:02 assbot config-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1C9m3H6 )
00:02 nubbins` latest
00:03 asciilifeform nubbins`: he has a patch.
00:03 asciilifeform that's the boojum, i think
00:04 nubbins` http://pastebin.com/g0Ra5XTa
00:04 assbot linux-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1.patch - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1C9mhOu )
00:04 asciilifeform guess what, i built a kernel
00:04 asciilifeform that boot
00:04 asciilifeform s
00:04 asciilifeform ... and promptly panics
00:04 asciilifeform (because no root fs)
00:05 asciilifeform but hey, works
00:05 asciilifeform using -vanilla buildroot-
00:05 nubbins` oh cool
00:05 asciilifeform make sheevaplug_defconfig
00:05 asciilifeform make
00:05 nubbins` see line 615 in above
00:05 asciilifeform that's it
00:05 asciilifeform didn't use any of the weirdo crap from above link
00:06 nubbins` woo!
00:06 asciilifeform tomorrow evening i'll 1) flash in the rootfs to get something like a working box
00:06 asciilifeform 2) mercilessly root out the idiot crud that gets rolled in by default
00:06 asciilifeform (sound cards, etc)
00:07 nubbins` amazing
00:07 assbot AMAZING COMPANY!
00:07 nubbins` THAT'S THE SPIRIT
00:07 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: habemus kernelam
00:08 mircea_popescu o hey!
00:08 mircea_popescu who won ?
00:08 mircea_popescu sheeva ?
00:08 asciilifeform me.
00:08 mircea_popescu lol
00:09 mircea_popescu so this is a sheevaplug brew of what, netbsd ?
00:09 asciilifeform nono
00:09 asciilifeform linux 3.18
00:10 nubbins` so you didn't need anything from that patch file?
00:11 asciilifeform apparently not
00:11 asciilifeform the interesting parts were rolled in some time ago in mainline, apparently
00:11 asciilifeform just as i suspected
00:11 asciilifeform 7089334f25a0e1d8b09db96da4d61fbdf7ea7aca258fdd20012f85be976c39e63f5bc29842b25f0dc18a8ccdc74ad1e7c4ed7af56faa39b3917f76e082077589 turdel.gz
00:12 BingoBoingo !up pete_dushenski
00:12 asciilifeform http://www.loper-os.org/pub/turdel.gz
00:12 nubbins` actually, looking at the pogoplug-related entries in that patch, it's all trivial stuff
00:12 nubbins` front LEDs etc
00:12 asciilifeform nubbins`: not entirely
00:12 asciilifeform nubbins`: there are some memory-mapped i/o iirc
00:13 asciilifeform anyway whoever wants can boot up turdel using my tftp instructions (or by actually flashing it in) and see that it did happen.
00:13 asciilifeform (it croaks, having no meaningful rootfs, but that's for tomorrow)
00:13 nubbins` oh, yeah, i see em
00:13 nubbins` eject button too!
00:14 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: netbsd i had running weeks and weeks ago. but it sucks for reasons already described in log
00:14 pete_dushenski thx bb!
00:15 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: today by popular demand i went on a little deathmarch and got a source-built traditional linux going on it.
00:15 mircea_popescu cool.
00:15 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 16476 @ 0.00022407 = 3.6918 BTC [+] {2}
00:15 * mircea_popescu looks for a virgin or 40
00:15 asciilifeform this is amply enough to work from
00:16 asciilifeform and can be trimmed into some approximation of good shape.
00:16 mircea_popescu so then, this + 32bit bitcoind and we're done.
00:16 mircea_popescu (in the sense of having a miserable memory leaking low cost node)
00:16 asciilifeform aha
00:16 nubbins` heh
00:16 nubbins` http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-03-2015#1069353
00:16 assbot Logged on 25-03-2015 01:20:19; mod6: alright, new droplet created for x32 deb6 testing.
00:16 asciilifeform the one ingredient that is still needed, that i have not attempted at all, is the formatter
00:17 mircea_popescu linux doesn't come with one ?!
00:17 nubbins` fdisk in crontab to be safe
00:17 asciilifeform that is, which detects 1) have we a disk plugged in? 2) if so, has it a blockchain? 3) if plugged in, no blockchain - format disk
00:17 asciilifeform 4) start bitcoind (in reset death loop)
00:17 asciilifeform it is also of great importance to blink the correct colour led!
00:18 mircea_popescu aha
00:18 nubbins` yah!
00:18 asciilifeform or else how is operator to know what becomes of his node
00:18 asciilifeform maybe disk is dead
00:18 asciilifeform maybe net connection dead
00:18 nubbins` have the eject button send us a message on irc or something
00:18 asciilifeform nubbins`: pogo4 has no buttons
00:19 nubbins` ah, i thought the purple logo'd one did
00:21 trinque up to the operator to deploy updates later?
00:21 asciilifeform what updates.
00:21 trinque 0.5.3.1 is perfect?
00:21 BingoBoingo <trinque> 0.5.3.1 is perfect? << C doesn't do perfect
00:22 asciilifeform if you must, signed updates
00:22 asciilifeform but i wasn't even thinking of this.
00:22 asciilifeform anyway since when do i have to decide this
00:22 asciilifeform therealbitcoin chairmen, awaken
00:22 asciilifeform ben_vulpes, mod6 ?
00:23 trinque bet you could tell it about updates just like deedbot
00:23 nubbins` asciilifeform: my pogo has an eject button :S
00:24 asciilifeform nubbins`: does it actually press?
00:24 nubbins` ...
00:24 asciilifeform also whoever it was who marvelled (l0l) at pogo being a 32bit arm - 64bit is lunacy on a box with 128m of ram and no swap
00:24 asciilifeform it just makes pointers take up 2x the space
00:24 nubbins` yes
00:24 asciilifeform and bloats exe by ~2 factor
00:25 nubbins` granted, it doesn't *do* anything atm
00:25 asciilifeform the designer made an entirely rational choice
00:25 nubbins` but it's at least a real button
00:25 asciilifeform nubbins`: would you care to post a photo of the unit ?
00:25 asciilifeform nubbins`: because it is quite clearly different from mine
00:27 ben_vulpes hm?
00:27 * ben_vulpes just cracked the craptop
00:27 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: another ingredient, since you were making a list, is the seed list
00:27 nubbins` http://mhassan.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/pogoplug_v4_top_removed1.jpg
00:27 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1C9p8He )
00:27 nubbins` ^ that's yours, not mine
00:27 nubbins` next to eth
00:27 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: recall how it has a gigantic seedlist consisting of mostly corpses, compiled in ?
00:28 asciilifeform nubbins`: -that- button
00:28 nubbins` :D
00:28 asciilifeform i have it too
00:28 nubbins` i had to double check
00:28 asciilifeform thought yours might have had a button under the lamp
00:28 nubbins` no. pressed it like 5x to make sure
00:28 nubbins` i wish :/
00:28 nubbins` instead you need a toothpick
00:29 asciilifeform if ben_vulpes and mod6 decide that we must have an updater (signed, naturally) i suggest that the button be used to trigger it
00:29 asciilifeform loading from attached storage of course
00:29 asciilifeform (not the net)
00:29 asciilifeform at the very minimum, development units ought to have it
00:30 ben_vulpes for pogos?
00:30 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: long thread re: pogo.
00:30 ben_vulpes no shit.
00:30 nubbins` if we end up jamming the os onto the nand, you could have it scan SD cards on insert for patches
00:30 ben_vulpes since when is the pogo my project?
00:30 asciilifeform nubbins`: tomorrow rootfs in nand
00:30 asciilifeform the kernel i just posted, sees the nand.
00:30 * nubbins` cheers
00:31 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: in as far as it may end up the first battlefield deployment of 0.5.3.x - aha.
00:31 nubbins` danielpbarron's project if anyone's 8)
00:32 nubbins` well. alf's if anyone's !
00:32 ben_vulpes ^
00:32 ben_vulpes yeah, that.
00:32 asciilifeform lol i cleaned a cm of dust off my pogo today.
00:32 BingoBoingo !up Dannyl
00:32 ben_vulpes a cm?!
00:32 nubbins` far be it from me to assume ;D
00:32 ben_vulpes dc air must be miserable
00:32 asciilifeform nah just me
00:32 nubbins` who's got pogos anyway
00:33 asciilifeform i presently am sitting on no fewer than 12.
00:33 asciilifeform and i think mod6 had a bunch
00:33 nubbins` i'll have 3 at some point this week
00:33 ben_vulpes that's a lot of dust...
00:33 nubbins` dpb has at least one
00:33 asciilifeform mircea_popescu iirc had some
00:33 ben_vulpes ;)
00:33 nubbins` hundreds!
00:34 asciilifeform and possibly punkman
00:34 nubbins` hmm yes
00:34 asciilifeform i'm almost beginning to not-regret picking that machine
00:34 asciilifeform having finally booted a reasonable linux
00:34 ben_vulpes hah
00:34 nubbins` i've got some nebulous plans to kit-ify these & sell em
00:34 ben_vulpes you like things?
00:35 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: didn't say 'like,' l0l
00:35 ben_vulpes couldn't resist, boss
00:35 asciilifeform nubbins` do you think you could do a print of some kind over the lid?
00:35 asciilifeform or other parts of chassis
00:35 asciilifeform i was considering lasering mine
00:35 nubbins` some sort of vinyl sticker would be easiest/cheapest
00:36 asciilifeform eh chinese
00:36 nubbins` you wouldn't even need to apply the sticker yourself, people like doing that stuff
00:36 asciilifeform stickers are so 10 yrs ago when we all had that gnu with horns on laptops
00:36 BingoBoingo Does anyone have a python script for computing the odds of adult male of supplied height and weight versus (Y) pack of coyotes if armed with a tack hammer?
00:36 nubbins` you'd want solvent inks to silkscreen on that, and yuck
00:36 asciilifeform nubbins` laser then.
00:37 nubbins` it's too bad the name is already stamped into the top
00:37 nubbins` you could laser a byline or smth tho
00:37 asciilifeform nothing a 40w laser can't fix
00:37 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 7399 @ 0.00021258 = 1.5729 BTC [-]
00:37 asciilifeform now result might be a heap of slag where the logo was
00:37 nubbins` anyone here have a lead on custom injection-molded plastics?
00:37 asciilifeform but ought to try
00:37 nubbins` 8D
00:38 asciilifeform nubbins`: if you think pcb is expensive, try injection-molded anything.
00:38 nubbins` recall fake bomb detector story, the one thing the guy always brought when he ran was the tooling
00:39 asciilifeform l0l aha
00:39 asciilifeform ok, quick likbez on 'buildroot'
00:39 asciilifeform ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, others :
00:40 asciilifeform 'buildroot' is this mega-automaton for building cross-compiled os for routers and the like
00:40 asciilifeform it builds, in this order 1) toolchain (using local gcc) for target cpu - gcc and binutils
00:40 asciilifeform 2) kernel
00:40 mod6 <+asciilifeform> and i think mod6 had a bunch << naw, don't even own one yet.
00:40 asciilifeform 3) userland (rootfs image for stuffing wherever, nand in our case)
00:40 asciilifeform the thing is mega-configurable and very baroque
00:41 ben_vulpes <nubbins`> ben_vulpes mod6 mircea_popescu and other interested parties: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=uJQDaKcz << neat
00:41 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1C9qF0b )
00:41 asciilifeform my notion, as of a month plus ago, was to bake the entire orchestra into a buildroot
00:41 trinque my pogo's promised to me by the 3rd
00:41 asciilifeform that is, the same crosscompiler it builds, that builds kernel etc. will also build bitcoind and its deps
00:42 nubbins` ben_vulpes block=191668 !
00:42 asciilifeform the result ought to be a self-contained bag of shit that, when executed on any reasonable unix, eventually churns out a set of images suitable for flashing to a 'pogo'.
00:42 asciilifeform and yes, this means we freeze gcc, ulibc, etc. in time.
00:42 ben_vulpes <nubbins`> mod6 i should stress that *none* of the hardening options are included in that makefile, and it really should not be used for anything other than reference << see, reference y'all
00:42 nubbins` S-CBOS
00:42 nubbins` i like it
00:43 ben_vulpes it pins the protocol
00:43 asciilifeform there we go
00:43 asciilifeform ben_vulpes gets.
00:43 ben_vulpes it's a subtle rapier, not a thing for use in anger.
00:43 ben_vulpes leastaways no time soon.
00:43 asciilifeform little secret re: 'in anger' - ada doesn't need an os...
00:44 asciilifeform (got its own scheduler, aha)
00:44 ben_vulpes k well write a bitcoind then shiva
00:44 asciilifeform i intend to
00:44 asciilifeform but this wasn't a secret, was it
00:44 asciilifeform but it will be some time before anyone is faced with question of what to do with my ver.
00:44 ben_vulpes don't ask me what everyone doesn't know
00:45 asciilifeform i will admit that, with regards to the reference version (let's call it 'traditional') i am especially interested in a tandem-operable variant
00:46 ben_vulpes tandem-operable?
00:46 asciilifeform that is, one which (or, even better, its subcomponents) can be ran in lockstep with another nominally-equivalent program
00:46 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: imagine you're mircea_popescu
00:46 ben_vulpes i do this regularly, but in what scenario today?
00:47 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: and one of the folks here (not guaranteed that it'll be me) writes a spiffy 'ab initio' bitcoind
00:47 trinque right, you'll want to check them against each other before making the leap
00:47 trinque if you ever actually leap
00:47 asciilifeform trinque: because of the difficulty, and ultimately the very real practical limits of programmatic proof, tandem is likely our fate for many years.
00:48 asciilifeform or at least the fate of truly serious folks with much to lose
00:48 trinque asciilifeform: will also be useful to out any fuckery of the phoundation client later down the chain
00:48 asciilifeform (i for one will happily jump with the parachute i packed for self. but my carcass isn't worth especially much)
00:49 ben_vulpes i don't understand what's so special about 'tandem operable'
00:49 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: good question:
00:49 nubbins` there's no POSIX standard for bitcoin
00:49 nubbins` 8)
00:49 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: you *built* a chute?
00:49 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: the implication is that various internals are accessible, and flow can be stopped
00:49 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: not literally
00:50 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: referring to a tradition in certain armies where men are expected to wrap own parachute
00:50 asciilifeform and sign it
00:50 asciilifeform before it is used
00:50 asciilifeform 'i packed this. --mr grunt'
00:50 ben_vulpes right.
00:50 ben_vulpes gotcha.
00:50 asciilifeform then, if they find a pancake, there is no question of 'whodunit'
00:51 ben_vulpes <mircea_popescu> you can't postpone everything until everything else just like you can't have everything louder than everything else. << i think i found where this started
00:51 asciilifeform (fwiw, my father informs me that this custom was unknown in his unit, and only expert was trusted with wrapping chutes)
00:52 nubbins` whoever survived the first time they tried the signatures was deemed an expert and dispersed throughout the other units
00:52 ben_vulpes hyuuu
00:54 asciilifeform the photo mats randomly posted today is, incidentally, a picturesque metaphor for what we're doing.

00:55 ben_vulpes <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes mod6 what do you two figure is a realistic timeline for "bitcoind version that doesn't allocate memory without checks and so doesn't crash in THAT particular way" ? << this actually raises the all-important question of priority list
00:57 ben_vulpes ah hey check it out!
00:57 ben_vulpes i get to strike #1 off the foundation todo list!
00:57 ben_vulpes Goals:
00:57 ben_vulpes 1. Cut a build
00:57 nubbins` woop
00:58 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: guess what #2 is
00:58 nubbins` jam it on a pogo!
00:58 ben_vulpes hey
00:58 ben_vulpes you
00:58 * nubbins` zips lips, raises hand
00:59 ben_vulpes nubbins`?
00:59 nubbins` spoke outta turn!
00:59 ben_vulpes i'm calling on you lol
00:59 ben_vulpes and no, it's not pogo
01:02 * asciilifeform hasn't a clue
01:02 nubbins` REGRESSION TESTING!
01:02 ben_vulpes bastard block fix.
01:02 nubbins` YEAH!
01:02 ben_vulpes nubbins` pre-release regression testing is pretty dumb-dumb right now
01:02 ben_vulpes build
01:02 nubbins` ha
01:02 ben_vulpes sync with mainnet
01:02 ben_vulpes send
01:02 ben_vulpes well, send *to*
01:02 asciilifeform eh i know it isn't 'sexy' but don't forget the seed list.
01:02 ben_vulpes then send *from*
01:03 asciilifeform the one that's in there now is unusable.
01:03 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: right hang on let me diddle this text for a second
01:03 nubbins` we'll need more seeds
01:03 asciilifeform and did the dns seed snip ever get merged ?
01:03 ben_vulpes no.
01:03 ben_vulpes maybe?
01:03 asciilifeform aha so it's pointing straight at phoundation's dns
01:03 * ben_vulpes checks turdolator
01:03 asciilifeform they can send the whole lot of us to dev/null
01:03 nubbins` i don't think so
01:04 nubbins` almost certainly not, no
01:04 ben_vulpes anyone who runs without -connect is asking for it in the arse.

01:08 mircea_popescu that's my point.
01:08 mircea_popescu serviceable 19 dollar units ? gtfo.
01:08 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if 'humane' can open shell when that programmable button near the jack is pressed
01:09 mircea_popescu once they make a 4gb unit for ~25 we'll think about it ?

01:10 asciilifeform and no other behaviour
01:10 mircea_popescu http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-03-2015#1069773 << some crates, yes.
01:10 assbot Logged on 25-03-2015 04:33:41; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu iirc had some
01:10 mircea_popescu asciilifeform and now you gotta add gpg and debug it and srsly...
01:10 mircea_popescu forget it, you want to upgrade get a new unit.
01:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: gpg fits handily on the nand
01:10 ben_vulpes heh i like that.
01:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if these were still made and we could parachute them around the world - that'd be one thing
01:10 asciilifeform but they aren't
01:11 asciilifeform and we haven't so many.
01:11 mircea_popescu so then we buy more.
01:11 asciilifeform and getting physical objects from one place to another is still pretty hard.
01:11 mircea_popescu no dude. you're trying to raise the engineering bill by 1000s of dollah to save pennies.

05:36 mircea_popescu prolly private.
05:36 BingoBoingo What isn't?
05:36 mircea_popescu cazalla i was thinking btw, on the general principle of translations. what do you think of a model where translations, be they en to es, or es to en or cn to en or whatever they may be count for half the shares ?
05:36 BingoBoingo It isn't like I plan to battle syphillis anytime soon again
05:37 mircea_popescu also, articles written by drunk people only counted for 13.37% of normal wordage?

05:37 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo what's +10%vote mean ?
05:38 davout mircea_popescu: half the shares of the original article? or half the shares of the translated piece? i'd say the former makes more sense
05:38 mircea_popescu hm.
05:39 mircea_popescu shit. languages are so fucking difficult.
05:39 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo what's +10%vote mean ? << You and cazalla are 20% a piece I throw my 10% behind translations, because we aren't fucking Cointelegrah with seperate US and UK press releases
05:39 mircea_popescu the first time today i sat here and couldn't figure out a problem was when i tried to parse davout's proposal. brain just can't cope.
05:39 cazalla BingoBoingo, they have indian and greek too now!
05:39 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo so you're thinking translation more like 2/3 ?
05:40 mircea_popescu davout how do you figure which makes more sense ?
05:40 BingoBoingo I thin translation is between 1/2 to 2/3rds. A full 1 if from strange to Eng
05:41 cazalla i really don't see the issue with matching it 1:1 on the basis translation is useful, es not as much as cn but still
05:41 davout mircea_popescu: some languages are much shorter than others, dutch is much denser than french for example
05:41 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo the thing is, if you give them parity you'll end up with you know, hungarian translation of 500 qntra articles diluting you to shit.
05:41 cazalla but then seeing i can only speaka da english , i am prolly not qualified to "opine" on such matters lol
05:41 mircea_popescu cazalla so then let them be 1:1 but only allow basically es, en, cn and mebbe portuguese ?
05:41 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo the thing is, if you give them parity you'll end up with you know, hungarian translation of 500 qntra articles diluting you to shit << Editors discretion. Fucking hungarian sucks, not a lang
05:42 mircea_popescu it's as much a language as finish is!
05:42 BingoBoingo Finish not a lang either, it is a goal
05:42 mircea_popescu and before you dismiss that, you should see what fucking tits & ass lean tall blonde stuff they produce!
05:42 cazalla why would we want anything other than spanish and chinesey?
05:42 mircea_popescu cazalla so basically, extended cultural imperialism ?
05:42 mircea_popescu i dunno, i could go withj that.
05:42 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: I hurd they were on US feminist diabeetus diet
05:42 cazalla maybe arabic
05:43 cazalla but other than that, those are top 3 next to english i assume
05:43 mircea_popescu but prolly portuguese > spanish, on account of... well... brazil is like > south america.
05:43 cazalla oh russian.. here we go, give an inch..
05:43 mircea_popescu right ?
05:43 mircea_popescu russian, japanese right ? then all the arabs will get pissy because why do we pick the one or the other ?
05:43 BingoBoingo I could see placing spanish well before portugese because fuck brazil if they aren't waxing
05:44 mircea_popescu but i don't think we can go "all bitcoin happens in english fuck you"
05:44 BingoBoingo Not at all
05:44 Adlai put it to shareholder votes. want more incentive for translations in your language? gotta pay to have a say, like in 'real' politics
05:44 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo brazil is waxing yo. and btw, general point : girls get their tit implants age 16 down here.
05:44 BingoBoingo I think we focus on trade languages of En ES and Fu
05:44 mircea_popescu it's like a bat mitzvah gift.
05:45 brendafdez tit implants :)
05:45 mircea_popescu Adlai how are the shareholders paying exactly ?
05:45 Adlai those who want more compensation for translators to some language, must buy shares in order to have their voices heard/regarded by the editors
05:46 mircea_popescu yeah, that's totally how that'll work.
05:46 brendafdez <mircea_popescu> brendafdez better get out of the defensive shell of stupid and work your butt off, i think. << oops ;)
05:46 Adlai (or they earn their shares the usual way)
05:47 cazalla <BingoBoingo> I could see placing spanish well before portugese because fuck brazil if they aren't waxing <<< so muff is ok ya know
05:47 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: I am totally fine with the En language space surrendering except as a pidgin used in trade. If you let a single slant language into the acceptable trading space though. I sense trouble. Don't know of, but anticipate
05:47 cazalla some even
05:47 BingoBoingo Muff is greap
05:47 BingoBoingo Muff gives my beard something to socialize with
05:47 mircea_popescu cazalla he just doesn't want hair in the asshole is all.
05:47 cazalla but they poop from there, so i don't care, not going near butthole either way
05:48 mircea_popescu some women wash.
05:48 BingoBoingo You affraid of the poop muff?
05:48 mircea_popescu fun fact : most large felines don't know how to shit as infants, so the mother licks their asshole to stimulate bowel movements.
05:48 mircea_popescu think your life sucks ? at least you're not mom jaguar.
05:49 cazalla i can just see you as the romanian vers of it's only smellz

06:06 cazalla BingoBoingo, ya know i use to get carded when i was 16, but i was smart enough to know the guy working at the bottle shop probably couldn't subtract my age from the current year, so he would glance at my provisional drivers licence and ring up my drinks no probs
06:07 cazalla my dob i means to say
06:07 mircea_popescu this "carding" thing...
06:07 * BingoBoingo has alway done the deception thing
06:08 cazalla means something else where you're from eh mircea_popescu
06:08 * mircea_popescu had a drink at his junior high prom. which was held in a bar. because romanians didn't actually give a shit.
06:08 mircea_popescu the other kids didn't, because kids.
06:09 BingoBoingo * mircea_popescu had a drink at his junior high prom. which was held in a bar. because romanians didn't actually give a shit. << Wait Wut, you only had one drink at prom? Junior year I was trying to keep pace with Anya.
06:09 cazalla BingoBoingo, ease up, he's a light drinker
06:09 mircea_popescu that's kinda the thing, if it's not a big deal it just... isn't a big deal.
06:10 mircea_popescu cazalla heh notrly. my high mark is putting away something over a liter of 50% moonshine and then walking out.
06:10 mircea_popescu i suspek that makes me a heavy drinker, at least at the time.
06:10 BingoBoingo Drink is totally not a big deal. In the same way standardized tests in the US are not a big deal. The cost to pass maximally is trivial.
06:10 mircea_popescu but in truth i dun really drink like i used to.
06:11 cazalla i suspek gypies sell non-alcoholic wine to young romanian men as american's sell oregano to the teens :P
06:12 mircea_popescu i never saw non-alcoholic wine in yurp.
06:12 mircea_popescu real thing too abundant.
06:12 cazalla yeah my opa use to make it, locked him in the cellar once, such a hiding for that one
06:13 cazalla the funny thing is, i could've left him in there but i was so frightened that i opened it so that he could beat me
06:13 cazalla prob had war flash backs or something, he went fkn bananas
06:14 mircea_popescu romania (at least the nw, where i'm from) is all about this particular plum distilate.
06:14 mircea_popescu most respectable older men run their own stills, and they usually leak and are in basements
06:15 mircea_popescu so when it's firing time... buncha very drunk dudes that swear they didn't drink a drop

06:15 mircea_popescu romania (at least back in the day) was this place where nothing could be banned.
06:16 cazalla and whenever some dudes die from the methanol they produced, they make a big deal of it in the media to warn of the dangers of diy at home
06:16 mircea_popescu the very notion that the govt would tell you what to do or not do... lol.
06:16 mircea_popescu there's no methanol in this process.
06:16 mircea_popescu actually, distilling fermented fruit can not yield methanol. it's ancient and perfectly safe at that.
06:16 BingoBoingo Clean known moonsine stills here
06:17 BingoBoingo From corn though
06:17 cazalla mircea_popescu, must be making something else then, i have nfi, just hear in the media now and again
06:17 mircea_popescu i think you gotta boil wood before you get crap like that.
06:17 cazalla "Initial reports about the four men's methanol poisoning suggest it occurred when they tried to concoct grappa, a grape-based brandy."
06:18 mircea_popescu pff.
06:18 cazalla prob for the best i don't bottle my own, i'd be in perpetual state of drunkedness
06:19 mircea_popescu they probably tried to "concoct grappa" out of office chairs or something.
06:19 mircea_popescu seeing how one hundred thousand people made their own for decade upon decade without ill effect.
06:19 cazalla well, if one is going to eat plastic food, may as well drink plastic too
06:20 mircea_popescu anywya, if memory serves there's a good 10-20 degrees differential between ethanol and methanol boiling points.
06:21 cazalla anyway, zzz for me
06:21 mircea_popescu even if you start with a 50-50 mixture, keep the still open at ~75 degrees for half an hour, then you can just let it burn and collect the result.
06:22 mircea_popescu nn c man
06:29 jurov heh. my parents themselves started to give me wine.. at 15 or so :D
06:29 mircea_popescu sounds about right.
06:30 jurov <mircea_popescu> actually, distilling fermented fruit can not yield methanol << wait what???

06:33 BingoBoingo I've drank 98+ proof corn whiskey aged right with minimal fusile alcohols. Everyone wants their tradition to be the saint
06:34 jurov http://homedistiller.org/intro/methanol/methanol apparently it depends
06:34 assbot Home Distillation of Alcohol (Homemade Alcohol to Drink) ... ( http://bit.ly/1EFwqRE )
06:34 jurov "for example apple juice can have 0.2-0.3% methanol, or if derived from pulp by enzymatic degradation, the levels can be 2 to 3 times higher."
06:34 mircea_popescu jurov there's two things : one, what you use and how you ferment it. two, how you distil.
06:35 mircea_popescu but historically, methanol is "wood alcohol". ie, if you try to distil roadkill and old boots, you get a lot of it.
06:35 jurov yes but that's very different from "can not yield"
06:35 mircea_popescu otherwise, properly fermented plums specifically are so and so.
06:35 mircea_popescu well i was talking of the traditional process as used, not of whatever random strange one may try.
06:35 mircea_popescu you know these things get highly traditional / fixated.
06:36 mircea_popescu but in any case : methanol has significant lower boiling point. which, again, means that even if you start with an equal part mixture, if you distil correctly you take it all out.
06:37 jurov yes
06:37 mircea_popescu well so that.

10:12 nubbins` well that's your problem

10:13 danielpbarron emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "libssl-dev".
10:13 danielpbarron i didn't need it last time

10:14 nubbins` neh
10:14 nubbins` is buffer.h anywhere on your system>?
10:14 nubbins` might be an include path issue
10:15 danielpbarron i thought this is supposed to download a specific version of ssl and use a local copy
10:15 danielpbarron why should i need to install things on my system?
10:15 nubbins` pastebin your ./auto.sh
10:15 nubbins` and your bitcoin/src/makefile.unix
10:16 nubbins` heck, skip pastebin and danielpbarron.com them
10:17 nubbins` openssl is the first dep that should get downloaded and compiled, so if it's halting there it's probably a path issue
10:18 mod6 i've never used gentoo before, but if this still a problem/not-resolved by the end of the day, I'll try to setup a new droplet and test the auto.sh changes there.
10:18 nubbins` danielpbarron here's a snippet from the last chunk of text you shared
10:18 nubbins` -I/home/dpb/pogo/bitcoind/static.5th/ourlibs/include -I/home/dpb/pogo/bitcoind/static.5th/ourlibs/include -I/home/dpb/pogo/bitcoind/static.5th/ourlibs/include
10:19 nubbins` that's trying to include the same dir three times
10:19 nubbins` which might indicate that it's failing to parse something after /include
10:19 danielpbarron that attempt was using the arm toolchain
10:19 nubbins` i had to modify makefile for osx because all the path stuff wasn't resolving, your gentoo might have similar prob
10:20 nubbins` actually all three of your attempts show the same thing

10:56 * nubbins` points out that "artificial flavor" and "natural flavor" can be chemically the same molecule, but must be labelled according to origin
10:56 mircea_popescu PeterL didn't we have the discussion with the complexity of aminoacids ?
10:57 mircea_popescu nubbins` this "chemically the same molecule" ... i can distinguish peppers and capsein.

10:57 PeterL what about them? chemists can say what they are, but might not be able to recreate them in the lab
10:57 mircea_popescu PeterL they can't usefully say what they are, even.
10:58 mircea_popescu human taste is sensitive to ppb in some lines. smell easily to ppm.
10:58 nubbins` protip: the smell of nice marijuana is precisely the smell of thc
10:58 mircea_popescu nubbins` sure, soime cases are more advantageous than others. now go distinguish a glass of wine from another glass of wine, chemically.
10:58 mircea_popescu your competent oenologist can usually spot the year and most of the time the vineyard. not the region mind. the vineyard.
10:58 nubbins` too many compounds bru!
10:59 mircea_popescu oic.

12:02 nubbins` danielpbarron at the risk of being silly, does db_cxx.h exist in /home/dpb/pogo/bitcoind/static.7th/ourlibs/include
12:03 danielpbarron no
12:04 nubbins` okay, so that's why that step can't find it :D
12:04 danielpbarron i see boost and openssl
12:04 nubbins` working backwards, next step is to modify auto.sh
12:04 danielpbarron i guess that means db isn't finishing
12:05 nubbins` comment out everything in auto.sh but the chunk where it builds bdb
12:05 nubbins` then run it, see what errors it throws
12:05 danielpbarron oh weird, it does exist in there when i try with the prepatched 0.5.3.1
12:06 danielpbarron http://danielpbarron.com/auto-static-v0_0_5-x86_32.txt << refresh
12:06 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1CP5hit )
12:07 danielpbarron this is output when i use the 0.5.3.1 release and the patched for 32 auto.sh
12:08 nubbins` still failed 1 target above
12:08 nubbins` try this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Ph1KJm0W
12:08 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1CP5uSK )
12:08 danielpbarron ok wow
12:08 nubbins` save that as autobdb.sh
12:08 nubbins` chmod 0755 autobdb.sh
12:08 nubbins` ./autobdb.sh
12:09 danielpbarron i think my laptop has a 64 bit cpu
12:09 nubbins` how much ram?
12:10 danielpbarron 3 gigs + 2 gigs swap
12:10 nubbins` haha actually sorry, the pastebin i linked above has 1 error
12:10 nubbins` s/osx/unix/ in line 6
12:10 danielpbarron so i'm the dummy that didn't realize he had a 64 bit cpu and put 32 bit OS on it
12:10 nubbins` try that and paste the result
12:11 nubbins` fwiw if you've got 3gb ram i guess it doesn't really matter
12:13 mircea_popescu danielpbarron don't worry, you also put 64 bit on the 32 bit arm.
12:13 nubbins` heh
12:13 mircea_popescu (also, 32 bit os should work on 64 bit hardware, compatibility mode)
12:14 nubbins` i have no arms, and i must flail

12:14 danielpbarron Found 'db-4.8.30', skipping...
12:15 nubbins` o.O
12:15 ben_vulpes you'll see that if you run ./auto.sh more than once, non?
12:15 nubbins` comment out if/else/fi
12:15 danielpbarron this is a different one than the one that didn't have the db_cxx.h
12:16 danielpbarron oh, should i run it from scratch?
12:16 danielpbarron (which is what i have been doing up until this point)
12:16 nubbins` naw
12:16 nubbins` it does make clean
12:17 nubbins` <+danielpbarron> this is a different one than the one that didn't have the db_cxx.h <<< ah
12:17 nubbins` maybe you should start from scratch just so we can stay focused
12:18 nubbins` it'll be a bit of a pain, but if you can comment out your auto.sh so that it only builds one component
12:18 thestringpuller danielpbarron: i've done the same thing tho. i only had access to 32bit windows for my gaming rig, and i have to wipe the entire thing to install a 64bit version.
12:18 nubbins` then comment out that one, uncomment the next, etc
12:18 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11552 @ 0.00022637 = 2.615 BTC [+] {2}
12:18 nubbins` it'll be easier to spot which builds fail
12:18 danielpbarron it seems to find all three of openss, boosts, and db
12:19 danielpbarron or um, yeah lemme do from scratch
12:19 nubbins` yeah, find is one thing, build properly is another
12:19 thestringpuller so we are building axes and swords today? :D
12:19 ben_vulpes maces and bludgeons
12:20 nubbins` just wetting the stones
12:21 ben_vulpes heh yeah
12:21 ben_vulpes swinging sticks at each other in the muddy courtyard
12:22 nubbins` hey, the best swordsmaster who ever lived was bested by a farmer with a quarterstaff
12:22 nubbins` ^ rabbit hole if anyone's into reading dead trees
12:22 mircea_popescu ca multi lorzi de vita veche din indepartatul nord...

12:24 nubbins` there's no beef in the north
12:24 nubbins` just polar bear
12:24 mircea_popescu vit,a aka lineage, kin
12:25 danielpbarron on the openssl part, it ends with this: Makefile:640: recipe for target 'install_docs' failed
12:26 mircea_popescu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge0WaPvECPw << there, sung.
12:26 assbot Pasarea Colibri - Lordul John - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1BqRAAT )
12:26 nubbins` while docs generally aren't crucial, i wonder if that stops some later process from happening
12:26 danielpbarron oh also, should i be using the patched for 32 auto.sh if my cpu is 64 but my OS is 32 ?
12:27 nubbins` match the os
12:27 mircea_popescu actually... maybe try 16 bit something ?
12:27 mircea_popescu protected mode ?
12:27 nubbins` if you try running a 64bit program on a 32bit os, you're gonna be sad
12:27 mircea_popescu they don't run
12:27 nubbins` ^ :D
12:28 mircea_popescu inb4 danielpbarron accidentally builds ai
12:28 danielpbarron in my "ourlibs" directory, it looks like there are only doc files
12:28 nubbins` "y u no valid memory address"
12:28 danielpbarron so i think it isn't finishing
12:28 nubbins` ourlibs is where things get put as they're compiled
12:29 nubbins` if you're only doing the first step, ourlibs won't be fully populated
12:30 nubbins` does ourlibs/include exist?
12:30 danielpbarron no
12:31 danielpbarron only ourlibs/ssl/man
12:32 danielpbarron looks like db built fine
12:32 nubbins` here's the Makefile from openssl
12:32 nubbins` install: all install_docs install_sw
12:33 nubbins` you could remove install_docs from that line if you wanted
12:34 nubbins` might be easier than figuring out why the docs won't install
12:37 nubbins` failure of install_docs might preclude attempt at install_sw
12:37 nubbins` (who in the fuck installs the docs /first/?)
12:38 nubbins` bbl

13:35 asciilifeform !up ascii_field
13:35 ascii_field danielpbarron: i'd like more specific info on how to make my own u-boot << i have a u-boot built from official source. the buildroot thing -also- builds a u-boot, as a matter of course, but i have not yet tested that one
13:37 ascii_field ben_vulpes: no, nodes don't get updated << so, let's go into this in detail. they ship with all the seed ips they will ever have? for the record i proclaim this to be retarded. -keys- are the constants of our world, not ip addrs
13:39 ascii_field i utterly understand the desire to 'tivoize' these things so they don't get turned into phoundation nodes by lamers. but this can be done without idiot waste.
13:39 ascii_field once the twentybux boxes run out (and i expect that it will happen sooner rather than later) prepare to pay six times more for each node.
13:39 ascii_field right now some bezzlatronic idiot is paying the difference
13:40 ascii_field (the vendor is selling a loss-leader, hoping to attract chumps to its 5/mo. 'cloud' crapolade)
13:41 nubbins` i think a lot of it is genuinely overstock too
13:41 ascii_field likewise physical delivery is expensive. (witness kakobrekla's attempt to buy so much as one pogo and still have it 'feel disposable')
13:41 ascii_field nubbins`: this also.
13:41 nubbins` physical delivery, for me, bottoms out at ~$10usd
13:41 nubbins` whether i buy 3 or 50
13:41 ascii_field so, what, we're expecting operators to throw out perfectly good boxes to add a fucking seed node!?!
13:42 ascii_field turning an ip address into a critical constant in a field-deployed machine paints a big fat target on that ip for usg
13:42 ascii_field one of the few things usg is reliably good at is making a particular ip unusable
13:42 ascii_field or emplacing own turd there
13:42 nubbins` my ip address will be fine to use as a seed node, but it /may occasionally change/
13:42 ascii_field nubbins`: there you go
13:43 ascii_field hardcoded seeds - idiocy
13:43 nubbins` and is thus useless for inclusion in a baked-in
13:43 ascii_field there is no other side to this
13:43 nubbins` now, i can gpg-sign my ip address and publish it somewhere when it changes
13:43 nubbins` in fact, i can almost certainly have this process be automatic
13:43 ascii_field nubbins`: this means gpg on the nodes
13:43 ascii_field and updatatron
13:43 ascii_field and mircea_popescu will say 'bah, unreliable, you're driving up engineering cost 1000 times'
13:44 nubbins` gpg and curl, at the very least
13:44 ascii_field i suggested this, yes
13:44 ascii_field well, not curl
13:44 nubbins` where's the seed list now, in a fucking .c file or something?
13:44 nubbins` w/e it may be
13:44 ascii_field can't rely on anything on the net staying put
13:44 ascii_field SIGNED update would have to be on attached storage
13:44 ascii_field plug in a card, if passes sig - used
13:45 nubbins` updated seed list on sd card?
13:45 mthreat back in sudamerica
13:45 nubbins` the list'll be stale by the time someone gets a box
13:45 mthreat after the land of chipotle
13:45 ascii_field nubbins`: updated whatever
13:45 ascii_field seeds, bitcoind image, hell, whole rom
13:45 ascii_field but -signed-
13:45 nubbins` nod
13:46 ascii_field and button must be held.
13:46 ascii_field no automagic-anything.
13:46 nubbins` there's gotta be a sane way to do this over the wire
13:46 ascii_field user must consciously insist on update
13:46 ascii_field nubbins`: silent wire updates are ipso facto insane
13:46 nubbins` altho otw explicitly means you're not examining anything
13:46 nubbins` "aha" 8)
13:47 ascii_field user is free to examine the (signed) update on his own time
13:47 ascii_field before firing it
13:47 ascii_field (or not)
13:47 nubbins` so this is all agreed, anything that can be modified should be signed
13:47 ascii_field not proposing anything idiotic, e.g., it being ciphered in some way
13:47 nubbins` this brings us back to the seeds
13:47 ascii_field nubbins`: i am trying to knock some sense into the folks taking the 'no updates, throw'em out every time' folks
13:48 ascii_field (who don't appear to be logged in at present, but, still)
13:49 nubbins` hm
13:49 ascii_field e.g., http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-03-2015#1069917
13:49 assbot Logged on 25-03-2015 05:08:35; mircea_popescu: serviceable 19 dollar units ? gtfo.
13:50 ascii_field http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-03-2015#1069927
13:50 assbot Logged on 25-03-2015 05:10:32; mircea_popescu: forget it, you want to upgrade get a new unit.
13:50 nubbins` this is all fine and well
13:50 nubbins` until you hardcode a thousand seed ips
13:51 nubbins` and a week later they're all dead in the water
13:51 ascii_field aha.
13:51 ascii_field this is where the enemy excels
13:51 nubbins` and there's you with half a blockchain
13:51 ascii_field except they won't be dead, they'll be hosting phoundation syblics
13:51 ascii_field *sybils
13:52 nubbins` ha, there you go
13:52 ascii_field and i disagree with mircea_popescu's hypothesis that 'enemy is stupid'. he is not stupid. he is being slow, so as to show off his sprezzatura.
13:52 nubbins` this is getting dangerously closer to bringing the whole seed thing back to first principles, you know
13:53 ascii_field give or take a few months, enemy starts to bark up the vaguely-correct tree.
13:54 nubbins` hm
13:54 ascii_field nubbins`: ultimately the first principle is that pubkeys are the only valid locators for anything purporting to be human
13:54 ben_vulpes i'm reading, asciilifeform
13:55 ascii_field ben_vulpes: aha, there you are.
13:55 ben_vulpes you'll note, not arguing.
13:55 ascii_field good, ben_vulpes is thinking
13:55 ascii_field ben_vulpes: don't hurry, think.
13:55 ben_vulpes it seems you object to 2 things
13:55 ben_vulpes i may be wrong and stupid, but i'm willing to be corrected and learn
13:55 ben_vulpes 1) hardcoding of seeds by enemy
13:56 ben_vulpes 2) using enemy's keys
13:56 ascii_field ben_vulpes: wai wat?!!
13:56 ascii_field i was objecting to hardcoding of seeds -by us-
13:56 ben_vulpes aha
13:56 nubbins` what sort of handshake happens when you find a live ip in the seed list
13:56 ascii_field warning that if we bake machines with unchangeable ip constants, this paints a fat blinking target on them
13:56 ascii_field for usg
13:57 ascii_field the only valid constant is keys.
13:57 nubbins` you can't locate someone with a key
13:57 ben_vulpes so if i might be forgiven for conflating things, should not any subset of the wot graph be able to use their own keys?
13:58 ascii_field ben_vulpes: use their own keys for what ?
13:58 ben_vulpes signing updates to seed list.
13:58 ascii_field this is where you gotta make the call re: how much centralization you want.
13:59 ben_vulpes if we're to entertain updating, operators *must* be able to update without foundation keys.
13:59 ascii_field and where mircea_popescu wakes up and says 'now the machine is 1000x more complex, needs to know what wot is'
13:59 ben_vulpes alternatively, with arbitrary keys.
13:59 ascii_field meaning no key at all ?
13:59 nubbins` suppose you get a box and then start suspecting we've been turned.
13:59 ben_vulpes perhaps must be supplied with keys on initial flash
13:59 ascii_field to tivo or not to tivo, that is the question
14:00 nubbins` now you're stuck with a box with OUR keys being the arbiter
14:00 ascii_field why would someone buy a box from therealbitcoin when he suspects we've been turned ?
14:00 nubbins` s/when/before/
14:00 ascii_field i'm fine with him having to buy a new box -then-
14:00 ben_vulpes i thought boxes were user-flashed!
14:00 nubbins` aha!
14:00 nubbins` :D
14:00 nubbins` let him buy a banana cream pi or w/e
14:01 ascii_field ben_vulpes: user-flashed possibly, from vendor state, but not into a configuration that is reflashable in the same idiot (remote exploit) way
14:03 nubbins` fuck it, get it to scan a random /16 for .foundation nodes on first boot
14:03 nubbins` sure, it'll take a couple days humming before it starts getting blocks
14:03 nubbins` BUT W/E
14:03 nubbins` ;p
14:03 ben_vulpes lol y not
14:04 ascii_field scan a random /16 for .foundation nodes << wai wat
14:04 ascii_field how do you propose to distinguish friend/foe ?
14:04 ben_vulpes there is no friend/foe
14:04 ascii_field we have no mechanism for this
14:04 ben_vulpes there are just nodes on the network
14:04 ascii_field ben_vulpes: he use the phrase '.foundation nodes'
14:04 ascii_field implies that these can be told apart from others
14:04 ascii_field by machine
14:04 ben_vulpes and it'll remain that way until the block download thing is fixed to a) track node quality and b) spot-check blocks provided by high quality peers
14:05 nubbins` you can't have visible to users but invisible to usg
14:05 nubbins` just can't
14:05 nubbins` !up ascii_field
14:05 asciilifeform !up ascii_field
14:05 nubbins` anyway, consider the statement suitably modified
14:06 ascii_field ultimately the only proper box is one where the only magical constant is an rsa key, and same key is also prominently burned into the chassis
14:06 nubbins` i'm sure we all have at least a reasonably narrow range of IPs that'll be assigned to our nodes, even if they're dynamic
14:06 ascii_field nubbins`: i don't
14:06 nubbins` o!
14:06 ascii_field this is a very bad assumption
14:07 ascii_field my isp is a mega-conglomerate which owns and uses multiple slash-eights
14:07 ben_vulpes and shouldn't this discussion be looking at ipv6 as well?
14:07 nubbins` lel, total country bumpkins here re: ip blocks obv 8)
14:07 ascii_field ben_vulpes: i recommend strongly against ipv6 in this machine
14:07 ascii_field multiple known bugs revolving around mostly untested ipv6 crud
14:08 * ben_vulpes is a total country bumpkin re: anything combudder
14:08 ascii_field i recall at least one that concerns marvell in particular
14:08 ascii_field i don't even have ipv6 enabled on my lan, much less outgoing.
14:08 ascii_field even if nothing else, complicates reading packet dumps
14:08 ascii_field which any reasonable person does regularly
14:09 ascii_field to see what lives in his home
14:09 ascii_field at the risk of pissing off many, i will still say, screw ipv6
14:10 nubbins` hm
14:10 nubbins` just thinking out loud here
14:10 ascii_field i ban ipv6 in my home.
14:12 nubbins` hardcode DNS servers and fill the seed list w/ hostnames instead of ips
14:12 ascii_field 100% usg
14:12 ascii_field usg has real time iron control over all of dns.
14:12 ascii_field to a first approximation.
14:13 ascii_field this is right back to phoundation's idiocies.
14:13 nubbins` well i'm not running a namecoin node
14:13 ascii_field nubbins`: don't need to (and same problems apply to it)
14:14 ascii_field the only way to cut usg-controlled apparatus entirely out of the loop is to have the node get all volatiles (e.g., ip addrs) from files, on inserable media, -signed- by burned-in and prominently-advertised key.
14:15 nubbins` how many ips (or live ips, if you prefer) in current seed list?
14:15 nubbins` i think this is on the ml somewhere..
14:15 ascii_field yeah i posted it.

14:16 nubbins` *six*?
14:16 mod6 you rang?
14:16 nubbins` heh.
14:17 jurov if seedlist is to be signed, then it can download it automatically, no?
14:17 nubbins` so according to this, six live seeds would ostensibly be enough to bootstrap with
14:17 ascii_field until they're shot
14:17 nubbins` right.
14:17 nubbins` then those six are useless
14:17 ascii_field the only reason they are alive (and are they? i checked a good while ago) is that no one cared.
14:18 nubbins` in the meantime, we've been using a different six since we sent out the first X units
14:18 nubbins` cat-and-mouse
14:18 nubbins` brb
14:19 ascii_field there will be considerably less cat'n'mouse if enemy -knows- that there can be no effect from chewing on the mice
14:19 ascii_field and the only way this could be so is if there are no magic hardcoded ips.
14:19 ascii_field you can't ddos an rsa key
14:19 ascii_field or have it administratively forced to rout to ft meade

14:38 asciilifeform !up ascii_field
14:48 nubbins` ascii_field so what's the path from rsa key -> seed node
14:48 ascii_field nubbins`: i proposed a very simple one
14:48 nubbins` maybe i'm being obtuse :S
14:49 ascii_field nubbins`: node ships with no seeds. even without bitcoind binary. user inserts a storage unit on which he has placed a therealbitcoin-signed tarball. this gets eaten up.
14:49 ascii_field repeat as necessary.
14:49 ascii_field (and user presses button, yes)
14:49 nubbins` a a a.
14:49 nubbins` i gotcha
14:49 ben_vulpes seeds included in tarball?
14:50 nubbins` heh.
14:52 ascii_field ben_vulpes: aha
14:52 nubbins` any seed list made public by any means is a target
14:53 nubbins` us cloaked ones forget about ddos lurkers in here
14:53 ascii_field nubbins`: yes. but -how attractive- a target, will depend on how much damage can be done to our cause by shooting at it
14:53 ascii_field hence the sheer lunacy of unchangeable ips anywhere
14:54 nubbins` at this rate you're gonna have to get in the wot before someone tells you a seed ip
14:54 * nubbins` blinks twice
14:54 ascii_field nubbins`: bitcoin doesn't run on secret ips
14:54 ascii_field that's a road to lameness
14:55 ascii_field but there is a reasonably sane solution that doesn't involve secrecy
14:55 ascii_field but simply 'we can move these at zero cost to us and ours if we want to, so don't bother shooting at them'
14:57 * nubbins` gestures appropriately
14:58 nubbins` foundation could publish a list of trusted seeds each month w/ state of the union
14:58 nubbins` i don't know
14:59 ascii_field why not.
14:59 nubbins` also woot, 2x raspi & 2x pogo just showed up
14:59 nubbins` seed list is in a source file?
14:59 nubbins` or txt

15:00 nubbins` separate tarball
15:00 nubbins` unit comes w/ instructions for use, that includes grabbing both the bitcoind tarball and a seed list tarball of choice
15:00 ascii_field try to see, i don't suggest hosting therealbitcoin mega-seeds on dynamic ip consumer boxes
15:00 ascii_field but on solid pipes somewhere, ideally
15:01 ascii_field the movability is like nukes, shouldn't ever have to be -used- - with any regularity
15:01 nubbins` nod
15:01 ascii_field it must be there to remind the enemy of his helplessness
15:03 nubbins` so the switch from phoundation seeds to foundation seeds must happen after said pipes are tapped

15:57 mircea_popescu what's with the charity bs and what's with the sub million bs. is this the new jersey memorial golf circuit ?
15:59 mircea_popescu (for poor people reading : "donating to a charity" = tax deduction = you didn't actually spend anything. because say my company has made 1mn revenue this year, and my tax accountant is bs so i have to pay like 120k in tax. if i donate 100k to a charity and pay 30k ish im all done. so therefore - whether i lose this bet or not decides whether i write a check to x or to y, not whether i write the check at all.
15:59 mircea_popescu "donation to charity" is what rich people do to make poor people think something happened.)
16:00 mircea_popescu and dealing in sub-million units is really like proposing to settle differences by wager of battle, "except let's use styrofoam weapons". totally dude, rad.
16:00 ascii_field for extra mega-b0nus, the 'charity' is run by phriendz/childrenz/catamites of the 'donor'
16:00 mircea_popescu in his case, for sure.

16:12 mircea_popescu if you b-a her name it's all in there because she's one of those (unfamous, anon irrelevant people that appear suddenly and on one topic. as opposed to say lenin.)

17:49 ascii_field actually, i can see them trying to convert'em to 0.10 or what it was

17:54 thestringpuller ascii_field: this seems more like battlebots than junkyard wars. (Junkyard wars reminds me more of ed edd and eddie which was pretty much all junkyard hacking"
17:54 mircea_popescu this is a consumer product, it works like a consumer product. once it stops working it gets thrown out.
17:54 mircea_popescu it is not an item to be loved, dreamed about, repaired, tuned etc.
17:55 ascii_field mircea_popescu: i get this. but we're dealing with a fundamental case of amplification attack.
17:55 mircea_popescu specifically ?
17:55 ascii_field enemy can cost us K by spending J, where J is close to nil and K is positive
17:55 mircea_popescu sp.eci.fi.cally!!111
17:55 ascii_field they ddos the magic ips - or worse, silently redirect to own boxes
17:55 ascii_field and we have to parachute new units ?
17:56 mircea_popescu yes.
17:56 ascii_field i say this is retarded
17:56 mircea_popescu for the cost of this project, i wish to see large scale ip diddling
17:56 mircea_popescu i totally wish to see it.
17:56 mircea_popescu heck, ima make a blog post about it.
17:56 ascii_field just for mircea_popescu's pleasure they will do straight sinkhole
17:56 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5400 @ 0.00025269 = 1.3645 BTC [-]
17:56 ascii_field instead of diddlage
17:57 mircea_popescu and this won't be all over the internets, either.
17:57 mircea_popescu dja see how the fucking attacked ips are actually more valuable than the damned pogos ?
17:57 ascii_field at any rate, -we won't know- that it's pointing to usg boxes emulating our nodes
17:57 mircea_popescu right.
17:57 ascii_field there is no mechanism for distinguishing a correctly operating node from one that will be until day X
17:57 mircea_popescu overengineering is like cocaine.
17:58 ascii_field the fucking attacked ips are actually more valuable than the damned pogos << they are not valuable because we can never prove they exist
17:58 ascii_field even to our own satisfaction
17:58 mircea_popescu ...
17:58 ascii_field i'll spell it out:
17:58 mircea_popescu because they only exist halfway, like competent usg and able nsa ?
17:58 ascii_field 1) we deploy boxes with magic ips
17:59 ascii_field 2) usg redirects them to exact copies of our own boxes sitting in ft meade
17:59 ascii_field 3) ages pass and we notice nothing. they switch theirs off when ours go off, etc. direct mitm
17:59 mircea_popescu orly.
17:59 mircea_popescu no measurable latency of this
17:59 ascii_field 4) on day X they turn on the mitm diddlamatic and do... something
17:59 ascii_field 5) ???
17:59 ascii_field 6) profit
17:59 mircea_popescu what fucking profit lol.
17:59 ascii_field ask'em not me
17:59 mircea_popescu ft meade gets to look like a kiddy pool i took a piss in
17:59 mircea_popescu total profit.
18:00 nubbins` so deploy them with magic ips and "check here monthly for updated seed list, the walls have eyes, sam is in the trees, etc"
18:00 mircea_popescu wron side of the scoreboard, but sure, profit.
18:00 mircea_popescu nubbins` that's a concentration of the problem.
18:00 mircea_popescu now you have a "here"
18:00 nubbins` the original seed list is a "here"
18:00 ascii_field precisely why i didn't say 'network update'
18:00 mircea_popescu right but you're adding a narrower version.
18:00 nubbins` (and there, and there, and there...)
18:00 ascii_field i said 'will eat update signed by key'
18:01 ascii_field the key in mircea_popescu's ring, or wherever
18:01 mircea_popescu ascii_field if you're so absolutely convinced, how about seedlist is a config file sits with blockchain on disk ?
18:01 trinque ascii_field: that's what I proposed
18:01 ascii_field aha
18:01 ascii_field that was what i asked for
18:01 trinque an address sending transactions which indicate hashes of updates
18:01 trinque of the seedlist, whatever
18:01 trinque and yeah, then somebody is a point of failure
18:01 mircea_popescu ascii_field seemed to me you're asking for an entirely something erlse, but anyway
18:02 mircea_popescu iirc you were asking for a complex update gpg signature thing. not for a simple "move x text file from /sda to /sdb"
18:03 nubbins` <+mircea_popescu> right but you're adding a narrower version. << so "check the usual places monthly", w/e
18:04 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 16171 @ 0.00024929 = 4.0313 BTC [-] {2}
18:04 mircea_popescu nubbins` if it's not narrower just make it the seed list. bam back to square one.
18:04 mircea_popescu you're trying to jump a fence by crawling on your back.
18:04 * nubbins` shakes head
18:04 trinque what if the seed list was encoded directly as transactions?
18:05 nubbins` monthly state of bitcoin address, "check out these sweet seed ips"
18:05 trinque trusted after some large number of confirmations
18:05 trinque nubbins`: yeha.
18:05 nubbins` "feel free to update the seed list that came w/ your device"
18:05 nubbins` "it's been signed by us and our pubkeys shipped with your device"
18:05 trinque I'm not even saying that
18:05 mircea_popescu motherfucker.
18:05 nubbins` THEN you only need to worry about the NSA intercepting the shipments.
18:05 trinque encode IPs into outputs or something
18:06 mircea_popescu build a cnc mill in every pogo, be done with it.
18:06 mircea_popescu they could make dildos while brushing gf's teeth.
18:06 nubbins` <+trinque> what if the seed list was encoded directly as transactions? <<< how you gonna get those transactions?
18:07 mircea_popescu by infinite power.
18:07 * mircea_popescu passes out "you suck at system design" dounce hats liberally.
18:07 trinque eh ok
18:07 * nubbins` sighs
18:07 trinque obviously the thing has to connect to something first
18:08 trinque if you wanted it to connect to other somethings later, either the natural way or some means of signaling
18:08 nubbins` i'm suggesting shipping them with a hardcoded seed list *just like you are*
18:08 trinque if you can't trust a txn that's very old, uh
18:08 trinque bitcoin doesn't work
18:08 mircea_popescu nubbins` do you mind ? i'm being mean over here.
18:08 nubbins` i'm just also saying that /new seeds can be published in the future by the .foundation, if they want to/
18:08 * nubbins` tips table over
18:08 mircea_popescu was that a laser tip or an artisanal tip ?
18:09 nubbins` mushroom tip
18:09 mircea_popescu jus' the tip!
18:09 nubbins` 's all that fits
18:10 mircea_popescu (im kinda nonplussed that nobody even seems to realise seed list is only interesting on boot and these aren't intended to ever reboot, really.)
18:10 trinque comcast will eventually go out
18:10 mircea_popescu boot. not network outage.
18:11 mircea_popescu how often does your 1.8 watt thing drain the ups ?
18:11 trinque if they're consumer turds no ups
18:11 nubbins` once every whoops i unplugged it
18:11 trinque "fucking around behind the TV"
18:11 mircea_popescu nubbins` onoes, you ruined 20 bux worht of old gear (plus shipping and handling!)
18:11 mircea_popescu buy two plug them in diff bedrooms.
18:12 mircea_popescu this is hopw the problem is solved in this space : buy more units.
18:13 mircea_popescu i guess nobody ever played zerg hm ?
18:13 mircea_popescu "dude that zergling's broken" "mmkay" "aren't you going to repair it ?" "wut ?! *click* *click* *click* *click* *click*"
18:13 nubbins` nobody's gonna pay ten cents for something that breaks if you turn it off
18:13 mircea_popescu it breaks if you turn it off && fort meade floats in the air above your house.
18:14 nubbins` ha.
18:14 mircea_popescu also known as, not a single seed ip remains.
18:14 trinque anyhow I think any remote control of any kind is bad, mkay
18:14 trinque but if they need some kind of signaling, signaling by blockchain is probably the safest
18:14 trinque not "we trust this pastebin" or w/e
18:14 trinque even gpg signed
18:15 mircea_popescu in general. not when you're signalling how to get the blockchain.
18:15 * trinque goes to find the length of the longest-ever fork
18:15 trinque rather, fork which was abandoned
18:16 mircea_popescu in any case, the "this thing breaks if it runs out of power at any point after the enemy (or more likely plain old rust) has destroyedall seed ips" proposition is better value than
18:16 mircea_popescu "this thing breaks iof there's a bug found in gpg. or if we didn't implement signature checking correctly. or or or or"
18:16 nubbins` trinque for all you know i forked the blockchain 2 years ago and am still shuffling my forked coins
18:16 mircea_popescu trinque not an answerable q.
18:17 mircea_popescu (and before anyone goes "how could we implement signature checking incorrectly", this was discussed mere days ago. === "no errors found" or what was it)
18:18 trinque nubbins`: you can declare you've spent my coin? and others will be able to verify this?
18:18 mircea_popescu !up ascii_field
18:18 mircea_popescu trinque they can be empty blocks, still a fork.
18:18 nubbins` trinque that's not what you were looking for 8)
18:19 nubbins` mircea_popescu so are you proposing that all pogos ever sent out will contain 0.5.3.1 or w/e current release is when the first one goes out?
18:19 mircea_popescu nope.
18:19 nubbins` then it's sort of a self-solving problem
18:19 mircea_popescu i propose whoever makes one puts w/e the fuck they want in there and that's that for the damned unit in question
18:19 mircea_popescu and if you want to change, derp. change the production flux.
18:19 mircea_popescu you know, like industry works since fortever. not like ford mondeo got recalled because hey, they got ford fluence out, so they'll conver them
18:20 nubbins` obviously if the foundation is still producing new releases, it's going to be maintaining a seed list for that release, rather than just continuing to let the dead nodes build up
18:20 mircea_popescu ok.
18:20 nubbins` so if anyone particularly feels like they don't want their out of date unit to be so
18:20 nubbins` they're 100% welcome to grab the latest foundation release, because obv it'll still work
18:20 nubbins` it's just off-label usage as far as we're concerned.
18:21 nubbins` ascii_field ^^ ?
18:21 danielpbarron i know "time isn't really money" but however long it takes to upgrade one of these things is probably enough time to earn more than 20 USD working at McDonalds
