16:18 davout ascii_field: from what i understand having buildroot + bitcoind required being able to make a static build, right?
16:18 ascii_field davout: buildroot uses uclibc
16:19 davout but it wasn't possible before because of the dynmic dns glibc crap or do i misunderstand something here?
16:19 ascii_field well, previously bitcoin ~actually invoked~ dns
16:19 ascii_field so it had to be provided somehow
16:19 ascii_field now - no
16:20 davout and that dns stuff works with uclibc?
16:20 ascii_field davout: there is no longer any invocation of dns (in my set)
16:20 ascii_field thing even builds statically with glibc
16:20 ascii_field but the 'gconv' retardation remains
16:21 ascii_field and apparently the only way to remove it is to build glibc from scratch and link against it
16:21 ascii_field which, in practice, requires a whole toolchain built against the custom glibc
16:21 ascii_field which may as well be uclibc!
16:21 davout and that was possible before? before the removal of dns crud?
16:22 mircea_popescu no ?

This attempt failed but he kept on pressuring people everywhere and it got really ugly. In the end I agreed to the creation of a so-called "steering committee" (SC).
16:38 ascii_field The SC is different from the SC in projects like gcc in that it does not make decisions. On this front nothing changed. The only difference is that Stallman now has no right to complain anymore since the SC he wanted acknowledged the status quo. I hope he will now shut up forever.'

18:35 ben_vulpes this does make for an interesting question of what to do with the chain after an interstitial block has been snarfed - reverify everything? do nothing?
18:39 mod6 ok this can be done, one must turn off DOT_CLEANUP then do some scripting to iterate through all of the .dot files created and then sed the rankdir out of the config.
18:40 mod6 but.. problem is, these aren't much better top to bottom than left to right, they're still gonna be pretty wide.

21:44 asciilifeform '(EXPERIMENTAL) Raw Block Eater'
21:45 asciilifeform (before anyone asks: doesn't require the weird asciification that using 'getmemorypool' to import blocks would)
21:45 asciilifeform quoting from the ml msg,
21:45 asciilifeform 'Using 'dumpblock' and 'eatblock', it is now possible to move blockchains around via various direct channels (e.g., pigeon.)'
21:51 asciilifeform now whoever dares, can ask a node to crap out blocks n ... n+k, pgp-sign, bring them to node having blocks j ... n-1, and 'feed' them to it.

22:32 asciilifeform ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al: in case this was not clear, it is now possible for the first time to carry out FULLY DETERMINISTIC tests of therealbitcoin (memory consumption, etc) by denying a node a net connection and syncing from disk using 'eatblock'.
22:33 asciilifeform this will also shed some light on the effect of the mempool on resource consumption...
22:33 mircea_popescu pretty epic all this shit.
22:33 mircea_popescu best week of bitcoin.
22:33 asciilifeform l0l
22:33 asciilifeform pretty basic

22:35 asciilifeform will be interesting to compare their blocks with ours.
22:36 decimation why the gay rainbow bitcoin logo
22:36 asciilifeform could be the apple-II rainbow
22:36 asciilifeform or the rain rainbow
22:36 decimation heh
22:37 asciilifeform or even the commodore-64 rainbow.
22:37 decimation "QSL cards" are customary in ham radio circles; a postcard is sent to acknowledge contact
22:39 decimation asciilifeform: actually it might be mildly interesting to know how they are 'serializing' the blocks
22:39 decimation did the also implant parasite into bitcoind?
22:40 asciilifeform i'll laugh to death if it's from 'blockchain.info' or the like
22:43 mod6 asciilifeform: re: ... the first time to carry out FULLY DETERMINISTIC tests ... << yeah this is great!
22:43 asciilifeform mod6: i, for one, am rather curious whether we still get 200M+ footprint when there is ~no~ mempool
22:43 asciilifeform (on a netless node)
22:44 decimation actually it looks like the fins wrote a C client for bitcoin protocol https://github.com/koodilehto/kryptoradio/tree/master/data_sources/bitcoin/src
22:44 assbot kryptoradio/data_sources/bitcoin/src at master · koodilehto/kryptoradio · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1g4qCfv )
22:44 * asciilifeform actually wrote something not unlike ^ a few yrs ago
22:45 asciilifeform for an entirely unrelated and - today - uninteresting - purpose
22:47 decimation what purpose?
22:47 asciilifeform blockchain telegraphy
22:47 decimation hehe
22:52 asciilifeform it is now also possible to elementarily ferret out certain kinds of leaks - e.g., does importing the same bastard block ten thousand times result in an increase in ram footprint ? if so, we have leak
22:52 asciilifeform and whatever test (igprof, etc) can now be carried out stepwise (that is, after each added block)
22:53 asciilifeform i will leave the possible variations on this theme to the alert reader.
22:59 decimation asciilifeform: did you try the feed block thing
23:13 decimation http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pes20/cerberus/notes50-2015-05-24-survey-discussion.html < C horribles
23:13 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1dtJOS2 )
23:16 asciilifeform decimation: i just now wrote the patch, l0l
23:16 asciilifeform when would i have tried
23:16 decimation "If you calculate an offset between two separately allocated C memory objects (e.g. malloc'd regions or global or local variables) by pointer subtraction, can you make a usable pointer to the second by adding the offset to the address of the first?"
23:17 decimation asciilifeform: it seems like a clever script could stuff into bitcoind 'as is'
23:17 asciilifeform decimation: sure
23:17 asciilifeform decimation: by emulating a node, etc
23:17 asciilifeform but why.
23:17 decimation yeah, patch is better, agreed
23:17 asciilifeform (who wants, can write this. i've no strong desire to)
23:19 asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181475 << this is not even the worst known abuse. one book (forget whose) actually suggested 'just in time compilation' on arbitrary (!) machines by snarfing up binary routines from function pointers and memcpying them into a buffer, then (*foo)()-ing in...
23:19 assbot Logged on 30-06-2015 03:16:41; decimation: "If you calculate an offset between two separately allocated C memory objects (e.g. malloc'd regions or global or local variables) by pointer subtraction, can you make a usable pointer to the second by adding the offset to the address of the first?"
23:20 asciilifeform this has all the appeal of the russian prison teapot (consisting of a mug, two nails, and a mains socket)
23:20 asciilifeform but hey, 'it works!!111!!1111'
23:21 decimation heh "Can you make a usable copy of a pointer by copying its representation bytes with code that indirectly computes the identity function on them, e.g. writing the pointer value to a file and then reading it back, and using compression or encryption on the way?"
23:21 decimation ^ kinda what you said
23:21 decimation "I've written code for a JIT that stores 64-bit virtual ptrs as their hardware based 48-bits. This is a valuable optimisation, even if it's not strictly OK. (anon)"
23:22 decimation good lord, how much software that people use every day is written like this?
23:22 asciilifeform 100% ?
23:23 decimation "You can go much stronger than that. Many security mitigation techniques rely on being able to XOR a pointer with one or more values and recover the pointer later by again XORing with one or more possible different values, (whose total XOR is the same as the original set). (Richard Black)"
23:23 decimation lol who are you hiding from? eax?
23:23 asciilifeform they are hiding from... me & colleagues
23:23 asciilifeform and l0l, it doesn't work terribly well.
23:26 asciilifeform 'On PICs and MCS51s, the two objects could actually be in different data spaces (e.g. RAM vs flash memory).' << correct. at least for the pic16xxx series, which i've used for many years. it is called 'harvard architecture'
23:26 asciilifeform used to be fairly common on micros
23:27 asciilifeform (the starvation-cheap kind)
23:27 asciilifeform pic16f84, my favourite when i was a schoolboy, has 8-bit data word but 14-bit code word, in entirely separate address spaces
23:28 asciilifeform physically had no way to 'jump into' data
23:28 decimation this has confused n00bs when you mention the 'von neumann' arch
23:28 asciilifeform (or, for that matter, refer to bits in code word unless such was designated as a 'return 8-bit constant' instruction)
23:29 decimation they think 'harvard' is better with respect to your 'bedrock' complaints
23:29 asciilifeform 'von neumann arch' traditionally means simply the very idea of having separate devices called memory and cpu
23:29 asciilifeform where the latter is able to operate on a tiny portion of the former in any given operation
23:30 asciilifeform 'harvard' is better in the same sense that it is better to be shot with a .22 than with a cannon
23:30 decimation heh
23:30 decimation at least it's concievable that you could point to the data and code ram chips
23:32 asciilifeform gotta love those prison kettles
23:33 asciilifeform that article ought to be required reading for shitgnomologists
23:33 asciilifeform there is no conceivable reason to ever be doing any of the things described therein
23:33 asciilifeform you can't even win 'underhanded c contest' with them. they're ~screamingly~ bad ideas.
23:34 asciilifeform and anyone who is found to be deploying such code, for whatever purpose, ought to answer for it
23:35 decimation 'but it works'
23:35 asciilifeform until not.
23:35 decimation 'you need to support our implementation'
23:36 decimation you can imagine how gcc writers would tire of that kind of bullshit
23:38 mats jurassic world was better than expected
23:40 asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181488 << this is doubly lulzy considering that i just pulled my dead tree 'amd x86-64 programmer's manual vol. 2' off the shelf, sept. '02 edition, and it defines 52 bits of valid pointer in 64-bit word...
23:40 assbot Logged on 30-06-2015 03:21:55; decimation: "I've written code for a JIT that stores 64-bit virtual ptrs as their hardware based 48-bits. This is a valuable optimisation, even if it's not strictly OK. (anon)"
23:41 decimation hehe
23:42 asciilifeform yes, you probably won't find anything past 40 or so bits soldered on your mainboard
23:42 asciilifeform but, there is the page table
23:49 decimation heh I didn't realize that x86-64 kept page table
23:49 asciilifeform of course it did
23:50 asciilifeform how else could you do the whole mmu thing
23:50 asciilifeform where each process thinks it owns the machine
23:51 * decimation doesn't do much assembly
23:51 asciilifeform ~segmentation~, that grim old idiocy from the 16-bit 8086 days, gets disabled
23:51 asciilifeform (mostly)
23:51 decimation but in retrospect, makes sense
23:51 decimation I thought i386 added even more segmentation
23:51 asciilifeform speaking of 64-bit ('long') mode here
23:52 asciilifeform it is ~almost~ like a rationally-designed (e.g., 'alpha') cpu
23:52 asciilifeform this is not an accident; amd hired away most of the old dec team who built alpha
23:52 decimation ^ also note intel was derping with itanic around then
23:53 asciilifeform no one ever really built a halfway decent compiler for 'vliw' machines (like itanic)
