01:53 ben_vulpes welp, completely struck out installing ada compiler tonight
01:54 ben_vulpes tried both binturd from libre.adacore and a portage ebuild
01:55 ben_vulpes likely has to do with that this box is running gcc 5.4.0, i think i have to figure out how to make a gentoo with gcc 4.9

11:00 a111 Logged on 2017-11-17 14:06 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-17#1740117 << you can't v-root an item containing binturds. and the only x86 bios without winturds, is for opteron or ancient (pre-2008) intels. with recent chips even binturd-containing coreboot dun work, and yer stuck with the heathen fw shipped in the box.
11:01 mircea_popescu binturds are NOT unapproachable. they are very much as approachable as, eg, reversing ivory/bolix software. not necesarily as perfumed, but be that as it may.
11:02 mircea_popescu i would much prefer to have a v-root for whatever bios, with the binary clearly laid out, so people with the competence can take it apart.
11:02 mircea_popescu rather than pretend alongside the usg tards it's an "insurmountable task". it's not. build the tools and spend the time, do your part to ruin wintel and with it the united states.
11:04 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: in FG, i signed binturds that i ~generated~ ( e.g. jpeg of schematic )
11:04 mircea_popescu so ?
11:04 mircea_popescu a binturd is a binturd.
11:05 mircea_popescu yes, yours is already reversed. the others aren't YET.
11:06 asciilifeform it's a perfectly ordinary use of sig ( supposing one remembers to write proper disclaimer, 'i sign what i found , from wherever' ) . but not of v -- the diffs aren't meaningful
11:07 asciilifeform iirc asciilifeform actually posted a binturd bios once, that he cracked ( for stinkpad x60 , which normally refuses aftermarket nic )
11:10 mircea_popescu what you mean is "the diffs aren't directly meaningful" which is true, but also what can we do ?
11:10 mircea_popescu indirectly meaningful diffs.
11:10 asciilifeform they carry no meaning at all. change 1 byte and you get a turd every bit as large as the genesis.
11:10 mircea_popescu v is still needed to manage the metadata on them. such as you know, the textfile explaining how to produce them and what (at least) portions say
11:11 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the interesting part is where you change 1 byte and you get sony's copy protection in a new package.
11:11 asciilifeform so genesis the text file, and it contains the turd hashes. this is what i did with fg.
11:11 mircea_popescu i wasn't proposing to treat the binturds as genesis themselves, no. attached exactly in manner fg did it
11:11 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=fg&search= << as seen here
11:12 mircea_popescu imo you solved this "i got bins, they're needed but hated" problem correctly, there.

16:25 mircea_popescu sure.
16:31 mircea_popescu it's not FORBIDDEN. but if you insist to break the "why do you think you have anything to SAY yet" rule and instead of reading ro text with ro explicative dictionary as per http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-09#1580455 jump ahead to trying to ~produce~ ro text on the basis of your english ideas augmented by a english-to-ro translateatron, the result will be that you'll end up with a subset of romanian as permitted by your english

16:34 asciilifeform i won't disagree that translative dictionary is only good for reaching takeoff velocity, and folx who try to ~write~ using one, rather than using years of actual literature eaten, are in a state of sin
16:34 asciilifeform but you somehow gotta get to that takeoff, and not everyone has dirigible.
16:36 asciilifeform also i will note that english is a pretty poor example for this thread, it is missing so many pieces that folx who ~think~ in it are visibly handicapped in all walks of life, not merely for learning ro
16:51 mircea_popescu you get to this takeoff in the manner children do, which is : be seen and not heard. you... read.
16:51 mircea_popescu until you have enough familiarity for the proper dict to be useful to you, you don't properly speaking have anything to say.
16:52 asciilifeform to say ? noshit, no
16:52 mircea_popescu i can't answer for others, but i, a man with no particular place to go and no specific time to be there, find in general the approach endlessly entertaining. go into a two day loop through whatever lang's dict after having read a phrase in some classical work.
16:52 mircea_popescu it's why i won't learn subhuman languages, such as anything black people ever made : not NEARLY enough classics to keep me interested in this manner.
16:53 mircea_popescu this is also why i've not learned say sanskrit, and why i despise indians as the cultural construct. bitch, interrupted classics isn't a qualifier, if all the jews had ended in 300 ad they'd be in the same pot.
16:53 asciilifeform no classics -- monkeylang. dun see what to disagree with.
16:54 mircea_popescu now, one could say "but of course, mp is rich, man of leisure". except... i STILL didn't have a particular destination / timetable as an eight year old. if anyone's ever poorer than a child...
16:54 asciilifeform interrupted classics are of interest to archaeologist.
16:54 mircea_popescu asciilifeform they can take their "yoni"s and shove them, i'm too busy archeologisting actual things to be bothgered with "but mp, before going to shit india was interesting". had i lived before it went to shit, i might've persuaded by this.

17:03 asciilifeform ^^^
17:03 asciilifeform the 8yo, with 0 homework etc is in his eden.
17:03 mircea_popescu diana_coman but constructs OF STUPIDITY have no bearing on the actual reality. child is, natura nuda, poorest thing that can exist.
17:03 mircea_popescu can't even walk into a bar walk away with a woman.
17:04 mircea_popescu this deep, overwhelming poverty of childhood is what eg malena hero struggles with.
17:04 asciilifeform but dun gotta work.
17:04 mircea_popescu nobody gotta work.
17:04 mircea_popescu everyone works by choice.
17:04 asciilifeform ahahahaha roadcone
17:04 mircea_popescu oya.
17:04 mircea_popescu incidentally, walked past item in market yest, "and god walked the earth, and came upon a man who was so very poor
17:04 shinohai In the latest US Naval mishaps: http://archive.is/krIMV
17:04 mircea_popescu all he had was money."
17:04 diana_coman well, I get what you mean i.e. that's the zero, yes; however ...constructs of stupidity do...exist, what can I say
17:05 mircea_popescu surely they do exist.
17:05 mircea_popescu and people who cut off their own leg to spite the doctor do exist from what i hear.
17:05 mircea_popescu what can you do ?
17:05 asciilifeform shinohai: text obscured by crapolade, unreadable

17:05 shinohai yeah fuck Time
17:07 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you'd love archeology by the way. half the job is "here's this pile of relations with no cognitive correlate. please explain."
17:07 mircea_popescu usually this returns "religious artefact AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE". understandably.
17:08 mircea_popescu hermeneutics, amirite. "how to map complex structures".
17:09 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: reversing winturds, possibly surprisingly, is little different : a good 80% of the binturd has no arithmetical reason for being there

17:14 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: the box that barfed uses gcc 5.4.0
17:15 shinohai ben_vulpes: I had 0 luck until gcc 4.9.4
17:17 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: linker in 5 is incompatible with 4, likely explains such cases
17:17 asciilifeform the surest pill is simply not to have 5 on the box. at. all.
17:18 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: i tried recently to build a chroot with 4 from the machine with 5 to no avail
17:18 asciilifeform nao iirc there is finally a gnat built on 5. but i have not tried it, and can't yet think of a reason to try it
17:18 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: once you have 5, yer pretty much phuqed
17:18 asciilifeform faster to format the hdd and start again, than to try to manually separate the flies from the cutlets.
17:19 ben_vulpes hey trinque do you still have that script for "infectious gentoo"? i might be able to get my old closet iron with 4.9 to build a respectable userland
17:19 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: yeah i have now pissed upon this electrified fence as well
17:21 ben_vulpes i couldn't find a stage3 with 4.9 on it when i needed it for this machine, and so got 'phuqed'
17:22 ben_vulpes republic really doesn't have repeatable steps for building a gentoo with gcc 4.9, does it
17:22 ben_vulpes "step 1: build a gentoo five years ago"
17:23 asciilifeform better 10, lol
17:23 ben_vulpes right?
17:23 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: sure it does. use my useflags banlist, and include gcc >= 5
17:24 asciilifeform !!up gabriel_laddel
17:24 deedbot gabriel_laddel voiced for 30 minutes.
17:24 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i am well aware, yeh
17:25 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: i did that, but i believe that 5 snuck in from stage3. at the time i got loads of errors about 5 being present on the system in violation of use flag specification, attempted to purge but this did not result in a usable box somehow
17:27 mircea_popescu o hey, ignoring flags nao ?
17:28 asciilifeform stage3 method ( the only one supported by post-infiltration gentoo ) is a tar fulla binturds
17:28 asciilifeform so no, flags dun help there.
17:28 ben_vulpes more likely i made a mistake
17:28 ben_vulpes oh, mistake was to stage3
17:30 mircea_popescu ic
17:30 ben_vulpes i don't really know how to apply your use flags to the creation of a new gentoo then. i do have an older gentoo box that is pretty faithful to the crapolade flags, has gcc but don't really have a map for making that produce a root fs that i can put on another box or what even the correct way to go about doing what i want to do
17:30 ben_vulpes (gcc 4.9.4)
17:31 ben_vulpes gabriel_laddel: what'd the lawyer say?
17:31 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: i'd like to find a pill for this problem that doesn't involve preserving a magic binturd in amber
17:31 asciilifeform ( yes i could post a known-worked stage3. but eww )
17:32 ben_vulpes yeah i have one of those as well but also ew
17:32 ben_vulpes doesn't gcc itself count as a magic binturd?
17:32 asciilifeform it does if you magicize a compiled gcc sure
17:32 asciilifeform but notion of unix is that you can take whatever c compiler you got, and bootstrap
17:33 mircea_popescu we have gcc 4.9.x source then ?
17:33 mircea_popescu and for that matter, evidently "whaterver you got" dun include post wreckage gcc 5+
17:33 asciilifeform aha. but you can't build it with 5, apparently.

17:35 asciilifeform recall, original 'gcc5 is fatally touched' discovery happened on n00bz building rotors
17:35 mircea_popescu yup
17:37 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: couldja sketch how this pill might work for me?
17:37 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: ideally would work on all known c compiler, and from there build gcc buildroot-style, and from there - world
17:37 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes ride the rotor train all the way to there then have it build whatever it is you're building.
17:38 asciilifeform i've thought about investigating whether gcc4 can be made to build on fabrice bellard's tinycc
17:38 ben_vulpes heh i was just reading about that
17:38 asciilifeform which in turn builds on just about anything vaguely c-flavoured
17:38 ben_vulpes makes elfs and everything
17:40 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: "whatever it is you're building" is "gentoo", and what goes into that is still a mystery to me
