~ 1 hours 6 minutes ~
08:47 asciilifeform !Q later tell esthlos in e.g. http://summaries.logs.esthlos.com/#2016-03-28 you link to kako's log ; i recommend against this , it is not a faithful record of the actual text ( last yr he took to monkeying with it via perlism and possibly also manually )
08:47 lobbesbot asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
08:53 phf in fact particular line http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-28#1440677 has been changed in kako's log, hxxp://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-03-2016#1440677 spot the difference!
08:53 a111 Logged on 2016-03-28 13:11 mircea_popescu: and so, this is the end for this particular irc channel as a venue for tmsr. the irc festivities are moving over to #trilema ; with a more selective lordship list and improved tools all around. you're welcome to join - but leave the fiat mind behind, lest it drag you too back down into the swamp.
08:53 lobbesbot phf: Sent 10 hours and 49 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plox to eat ch11 into btcbase .
08:53 asciilifeform aaha
08:53 asciilifeform d00d moved on to the 'smear shit on the walls' stage of his disease a while ago.
08:54 asciilifeform ( imho a peculiar hobby for a fella sitting on ~1k btc , but i've nfi )
09:02 phf asciilifeform: updated
09:02 asciilifeform phf: ty!
09:07 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch11_tuning_and_api << for the l0gz.
09:08 asciilifeform did i ever mention how phf's viewer makes patches a joy to reread !
09:14 asciilifeform btw i oughta mention , i had to resort to a modified vdiff.sh : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/rB9AD/?raw=true for ch11 , as the ada comment syntax causes inbandism barf with classic vdiff.sh when deleting or modifying the comment headers at the start of ffa modules
09:15 asciilifeform ( instead of the old awk 'm = /^(---|\+\+\+)/ ... , uses awk 'm = /^(--- a\/|\+\+\+ b\/)/ ... )
09:16 asciilifeform this has no effect on any extant vtron ( the resulting patches are correctly formatted ) .
09:17 asciilifeform but folx attempting to reverse-grind ch11 with old vdiff.sh will inevitably see barf, and there is not currently any fix other than the above.
09:17 asciilifeform ( i'd hope that new vtron format will abolish all inbandism. )
~ 1 hours 19 minutes ~
10:36 phf http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-31#1838315 << of course vtools sha branch vdiff produces correct output...

10:36 asciilifeform right, the inbandism is in the old vdiff layer, rather than unix diff proper

11:45 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: very old noose: e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-24#1775301 ( he replaces all mentions of #trilema with '#fraudsters', and of mircea_popescu with something or other, i fughet, and possibly other substs )
11:45 a111 Logged on 2018-01-24 18:13 RagnarDanneskjol: Fraudsters? Please clarify
11:45 asciilifeform iirc started just about a yr ago.
11:46 diana_coman hm, now the reading of octets from FG via EuCrypt randomly gets totally stuck and I can't even quite understand *where* ; wtf; I seem to recall someone else had some similar problem but I can't seem to find it atm; ave1 ? phf ? asciilifeform ?
11:47 asciilifeform diana_coman: this is immediately interesting and i'd like to replicate
11:47 asciilifeform diana_coman: start by making sure you don't have multiple instances reading
11:48 diana_coman asciilifeform, hm, that suggests maybe one read remains somehow hanging? ugh
11:48 asciilifeform diana_coman: is this using the code currently published in dianacoman.com ?
11:49 diana_coman asciilifeform, yes, get eucrypt and run the tests for smg_rsa, something like ./tests 11 11 (i.e. 11 times test no 11)
11:49 diana_coman at times it gets stuck and not even in same place or anything
11:49 diana_coman fwiw I have this on smg testing server, proto-cuntoo
11:50 diana_coman so compiled with ave1 's gnat
11:51 asciilifeform just how often is 'at times' ?
11:51 asciilifeform i.e. does this reliably happen on both of your FG boxen ?
11:51 asciilifeform and with either FG
11:51 diana_coman so far it's been driving me crazy on that particular box, haven't had it/tried it somewhere else yet
11:52 asciilifeform and strictly at warmup, or after reading 2-3 GB ?
11:52 * diana_coman goes to read that code again maybe something is messed up there
11:52 diana_coman ah, quickly, no need to read 2-3 GB really
11:52 diana_coman thing is: it should not happen even once! wtf
11:52 asciilifeform well noshit
11:53 asciilifeform i suspect buggy tty init ( e.g. wrong baud ) , in which case the data returned is also rubbish
11:53 diana_coman uhm, for one thing: it's init in c code as well so..uhm
11:53 asciilifeform diana_coman: plz show me where you init
11:53 diana_coman for the other, I had the FG init already
11:54 diana_coman asciilifeform, smg_rsa/truerandom.c does the whole stuff really
11:54 * asciilifeform will look there.
11:55 asciilifeform diana_coman: is http://btcbase.org/patches/eucrypt_manifest/tree/ current ?
11:56 diana_coman it should be, yes; as far as I can tell at a quick look at truerandom.c it is too
11:58 asciilifeform diana_coman: see if you get same horror on the old, non-musl box
11:58 diana_coman asciilifeform, ok, let me see
11:58 asciilifeform this will give a starting clue.
11:59 asciilifeform and , while you're at it, from the other FG in the musl box.
11:59 asciilifeform gotta rule out the possibility of a dead FG.
12:00 asciilifeform ( i have yet to witness this wonder. but there's always a first time. )
12:01 diana_coman asciilifeform, fwiw I am trying to get it on my local box (non-musl) and so far it's working perfectly fine
12:02 diana_coman will go and try 2nd fg and other boxes
12:02 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/patches/eucrypt_manifest/tree/eucrypt/smg_rsa/truerandom.c#L84 << seems like you re-init the usb dongle every time you read. this is not recommended, i've encountered a chinese ttl plug that wedges if you init it one too many times
12:03 diana_coman asciilifeform, ugh; it *can* be, because yes, it gets initialised many times
12:03 asciilifeform ( possibly can blame linux pl2303 driver )
12:03 asciilifeform generally you want to init it once, on coldboot.
12:04 asciilifeform ( the exact pattern is in the nosuchlabs.com and printed manual )
12:05 diana_coman asciilifeform, I even have the .sh + set it in cron, yes; the thing is that code has no idea so it would logically set it up as it wants it but...
12:05 diana_coman anyway, let's see: you suggest I take out the init, just open and read; set it up outside and then try; can't hurt giving it a try at least
12:05 BingoBoingo diana_coman asciilifeform: We did recieve a pile of new USB ttl cables. Swapping the cables for fresh ones is a troubleshooting option.
12:06 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: before you go to swap cabling, let's first see if the known sadness of pl2303 driver is the culprit.
12:06 diana_coman yes, and at any rate if this can /will happen on various cables or simply at 100th setting
12:07 asciilifeform diana_coman: i agree, this kind of thing is absolutely impermissible, and gotta get to the bottom of it.
12:07 asciilifeform ( it is a 'wings fall off'-level problem )
12:09 asciilifeform from my current reading of diana_coman's code, the only major diff b/w the official manual's test scenario, and diana_coman's, is the init thing.
12:09 asciilifeform ( nobody's yet reported a wedged FG on the standard dd-powered test. )
12:09 diana_coman well, 1st test: changed to 2nd FG on musl-system; checked and it reads fine with dd from console; ran the tests of eucrypt , it read 4 and then it got stuck
12:10 phf diana_coman: haven't had problems with usb reads, i've struggled with getting octets across ffi boundary before, which is probably what you're remembering re my work
12:10 asciilifeform diana_coman: can almost certainly rule out iron problem then
12:10 diana_coman phf, ah, might be, thanks
12:10 diana_coman asciilifeform, and on a second run it got stuck after doing 9 init+reads, ugh
12:11 asciilifeform diana_coman: comment out the init, and fire a shot.
12:12 asciilifeform btw you will probably want to make a timeout mechanism, to ring alarm if FG ever does die, rather than hanging
12:13 diana_coman asciilifeform, I commented out the set_usb_attributes so basically it opens and calls fcntl to make it blocking but that's it; it took a bit longer to get stuck but it still did
12:13 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/patches/eucrypt_manifest/tree/eucrypt/smg_rsa/truerandom.c#L65 << incidentally this is erroneous. a correctly-inited FG will never produce interrupt ( the tty ~must not~ interpret 0x03 as control char, it must return all octets verbatim )
12:14 asciilifeform if tty ever produces interrupt, ipso facto FG init was not successful
12:14 diana_coman right you are; not that it ever went there
12:15 asciilifeform diana_coman: when these are stuck, how do you kill'em ?
12:15 diana_coman ctrl-c..
12:15 asciilifeform ahahaha
12:15 asciilifeform i think we have the answer
12:15 asciilifeform unix i/o is retarded, if blocking read blocks, it gives you a zombie process , and the next process you start that tried to read same tty, will also become zombie
12:16 diana_coman ugh
12:16 asciilifeform to properly debug this item , you will sadly have to restart the box .
12:16 diana_coman so uhm, just resetting the tty is not enough?
12:16 asciilifeform nope
12:16 diana_coman omfg resetting the test server each time
12:17 asciilifeform well not each time, but to see if the 'init breaks the dongle' hypothesis is troo.
12:19 asciilifeform ( asciilifeform did not write the linux i/o subsystem ; nor the pl2303 kernel mod ; and will readily admit that they are sad. and if anyone has idea for some other means to connect a 115200 baud box to machine, that does not suffer from the weakness of these, i'm as always all ears )
12:20 diana_coman oook, let's see, waiting on reboot
12:21 asciilifeform this being said, if you implement a timeout for the blocking reads, you will not have zombie problem.
12:21 diana_coman asciilifeform, it does sound like I'll have to
12:21 mircea_popescu this is pretty lulzy.
12:21 asciilifeform a FG that produces , under normal conditions, 0 output for, say, 30 seconds, is indicative of dead iron.
12:21 asciilifeform and ought to ring all of the alarm bells.
12:21 mircea_popescu in other news, phf hangs out in #fraudsters!
12:21 asciilifeform lol
12:22 mircea_popescu * Topic for #fraudsters is: The order of the day is to put an end to the machinations of the purveyors of injustice, to control them without dominating them.
12:22 mircea_popescu * Topic for #fraudsters set by phf!~phf@unaffiliated/phf at Tue Jul 31 10:12:25 2018
12:22 asciilifeform pretty great
12:22 mircea_popescu apparently this just happened.
12:22 phf :)
12:22 mircea_popescu lel
12:23 asciilifeform 'на каждую хитрую жопу, всегда найдется свой болт с резьбой'(tm)(r)(proverb)
12:23 mircea_popescu phf if i may be so bold, why "control" without "dominate" ? seems these be terms of art, what do they mean ?
12:23 asciilifeform (~= 'for erry smart-arse, a threaded cock will be found' )
12:28 diana_coman right, machine is freshly up;I'll first run the .sh script just in case and try it with dd
12:31 diana_coman so, the set_usb_attributes was commented out; I cleaned everything and did a fresh build; ran the tests and... it read 3 octets and then it blocked
12:31 diana_coman rather: it read 3 times (it was 4 octets each time )
12:35 diana_coman basically if I don't manage to reproduce it on any other machine, it would seem it's potentially to do with that specific system
12:35 mircea_popescu o.O
12:35 mircea_popescu aren't i glad we tested all this.
12:35 phf mircea_popescu: it's an adam wieshaupt quote, and i take its meaning to be in line with the stereotypes about his organization, control through influence rather than direct domination
12:35 phf in this particular case though, it's a joke
12:36 diana_coman mircea_popescu, well, it *does* answer that question: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-20#1827889
12:36 a111 Logged on 2018-06-20 20:33 ben_vulpes: diana_coman: why does it need to be wholly separate machine? i think something might have flown over my head
12:36 phf unfortunately the secret societ of illuminated fraudsters managed to stay secret all 5 minutes, before being publically exposed in the logs
12:37 mircea_popescu phf my problem is this : on one hand i'm trying, in jules' words REALLY REALLY HARD, to not be the fatass in http://btcbase.org/log/2014-11-30#938314 snuffing the life out of everything ; on the other i just can't manage to distinguish the proposed "x without y" from the broad scheme that ruined western civilisation, "have wife without beating her".
12:37 a111 Logged on 2014-11-30 06:31 mircea_popescu: like the stuff discussed above re usg agency redhat, fuycking up linux. EXACTLY the stiuation of the giant ruining a chair.
12:40 phf mircea_popescu: well, we had conversations about esoteric societies in the past, and there's a reason for why the logs are public and everything that follows
12:41 diana_coman ofc if dd never chokes, dunno, will look at how they do it
12:41 phf mircea_popescu: to be honest i didn't read into it past the roleplaying humor, but upon immediate reflection, your objection makes equally obvious sense
12:42 phf henceforth any attempts to expose the activities of the secret society of illuminated fraudsters shall be denounced as a ravings of delusional paranoids
12:43 mircea_popescu lol
12:43 diana_coman I honestly thought that was the main part of phf's joke there : the "control without dominate" in the spirit of modern times
12:43 mircea_popescu to quote dr.a , i have no real sense of humour, it's software-emulated.
12:44 mircea_popescu diana_coman do you recall that lulz btw ? "nu-i ardelean, n-are rabdare adevarata, ii emulata-n soft"
12:44 diana_coman mircea_popescu, I don't recall it but sounds apt (as dr. a does wherever I read him)
12:44 phf diana_coman: we will take credit for it (also we'll take retroactive credit for the frequent mysterious reboots of asciilifeform's machines)
12:44 asciilifeform lol
12:45 * diana_coman takes a break from the usb reading wtf
12:46 mircea_popescu rotate plug pi rad and try again!
12:52 mircea_popescu diana_coman http://trilema.com/2010/o-institutie-culturala/#comment-21292 << found!
12:53 mircea_popescu (the above, for the rotaku club, is a pinnacle of intertextual metatextuality the likes french culture barely ever managed, and anglonline never did.)
12:56 mircea_popescu now i'm stuck re-reading all that... and esthlos thinks he has fucking problems. wait until you learn romanian, buster.
13:07 BingoBoingo <diana_coman> basically if I don't manage to reproduce it on any other machine, it would seem it's potentially to do with that specific system << Let me know if you want a pair of hands.
13:14 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-31#1838388 << this.
13:14 a111 Logged on 2018-07-31 16:15 asciilifeform: unix i/o is retarded, if blocking read blocks, it gives you a zombie process , and the next process you start that tried to read same tty, will also become zombie
13:15 mircea_popescu zombie is not just (as an inexistent, imaginary "manual" mentally reconstructed from the pile of gunk they published purports to hint) an entry in the table to permit the caller to clean up correctly. it is ALL SORTS of things, and generally of the getting in the way kind.
13:20 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the astonishing bit isn't even that system5 unix had this nonsense, but that the linux derps faithfully re-created it.
13:20 mircea_popescu yes.
13:21 mircea_popescu in fact, the concept of "zombie" is perhaps the most indicated ear of stupid to shake the whole echafaudage by.
13:22 asciilifeform somewhere near the top of the list, right below 'gotta check EVERY system call for failure erry time in user coad'
13:22 mircea_popescu that's more of an absence, see. generally psychiatrists don't attempt to work with what the diseased mind fails to produce, but instead focus on the positive malfunctions, the productive sort. "tell me more about the little gremlins"
13:23 mircea_popescu "zombies, really."
13:23 asciilifeform if diseased mind fails to produce impulse to visit toilet instead of filling own pants, then yes, work with.
13:30 asciilifeform unix represents not merely bed-pissing, but just about ~ideological~ pant-shitting mentality.
13:30 asciilifeform 'i will shit, you will clean'
13:31 diana_coman BingoBoingo, will do, thank you;
13:31 asciilifeform 'and for extra sport, i will also shit where you cannot clean'
13:32 diana_coman mircea_popescu, ahaha dadatroll; but now I see why it didn't even ring a bell at all as I probably missed the comments section there/didn't follow it
13:32 mircea_popescu it stuck with me apparently.
13:33 diana_coman I thought Dr A said that of you actually!
13:36 asciilifeform btw if anyone wants to experimentally observe the zombie effect, can do it with ordinary gnu 'screen' -- when opened on a tty with blocking i/o, will routinely leave zombie turd instead of properly terminating, then hours later you find that tty is wedged, and discover 9 copies of 'screen' in process table.
13:36 mircea_popescu ahahaha
13:36 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it's happened to me.
13:37 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: happened to me '9000' times when testing FG, and earlier iron.
13:37 mircea_popescu myeah.
13:37 asciilifeform ( naturally the imbecile kernel doesn't actually test whether something is riding on the tty prior to opening, 'why would we' )
13:38 mircea_popescu i'd settle for it just closing it.
13:38 asciilifeform afaik to this day no such provision in any unixlike.
13:39 mircea_popescu but imo this correct behaviour was elided specifically because http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-27#1530346 reason, ie "our permission model is fucked, if we do a close-before-open it makes it too obvious"
13:39 a111 Logged on 2016-08-27 15:03 mircea_popescu: "if i make it what i think it should be it crashes"
13:40 asciilifeform recall , similarly, koch's 'fix' for his mpi bug.
13:40 asciilifeform 'if i actually fix it, would have to admit that it was buggy'
13:40 asciilifeform good % of unixland, by weight, consists of this.
13:47 diana_coman asciilifeform, btw there was this: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-12#1833792
13:47 a111 Logged on 2018-07-12 13:49 diana_coman: asciilifeform, BingoBoingo access to box & config confirmed; FG on ttysUSB0 had a wobble at first and I don't understand why: I ran the stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 raw -echo -echoe -echok and then tried dd iflag=fullblock if=/dev/ttyUSB0 | hexdump -C but nothing came up; then I ran the stty on usb1 as well and tried again and it...worked; any idea wtf was that at first?
13:48 diana_coman if anything, it would suggest that even dd can choke there
13:48 asciilifeform suggests oddity in pl2303 mod
13:48 asciilifeform diana_coman: does your boot-time sh init both dongles currently ?
13:48 diana_coman asciilifeform, yes
13:49 asciilifeform interesting
13:49 diana_coman at that time I did not yet have the boot-time sh init though; I suppose I can add this to test sheet
13:54 asciilifeform btw also worth trying the item listed in 'Tip for Linux Users' at http://nosuchlabs.com/hardware.html .
13:55 asciilifeform ( some usb2 hub chipsets behave dysfunctionally with pl2303 )

15:37 asciilifeform 'their poorly fitting bulletproof vests are beyond their expiration dates' << lolwat
15:50 BingoBoingo The bigger wtf is what did they need a police force for? Place is clearly sized for a part time constable or two.
15:57 diana_coman asciilifeform, that tip says problems handling more than 2 but I have...2?
15:58 diana_coman at any rate, updates so far are relatively few: can't reproduce it on different machine (though I still have a few to test...); it IS easily reproduced even with dd on smg test server
15:58 diana_coman basically as the "wobble" initially reported: if only one fg is set, then first read via dd hangs just the same
15:59 diana_coman I would say it looks more and more like some issue with pl2303 mod
16:00 diana_coman BingoBoingo, how long would it take to get there and unplug one of the FG to have a test with only one?
16:06 BingoBoingo <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, how long would it take to get there and unplug one of the FG to have a test with only one? << I could go there and be back witing an hour
16:09 diana_coman BingoBoingo, wait a bit, at least to know if there is something else to try if you go there
16:09 diana_coman as it is, it will have to wait until tomorrow anyway as atm I'm a bit at a loss wtf
16:10 BingoBoingo Well, one other thing we can do is switch one or both usb ttl cables. As mentioned earlier one of the cables is the "blue" style that shipped with earlier FUCKGOATs http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-12#1833809
16:10 a111 Logged on 2018-07-12 14:06 BingoBoingo: On this box one of the FG cables is the blue guy that came with my personal FG, the other is the new style black snake
16:12 diana_coman hm, before switching cables I can switch order of init and see if there's any difference anyway
16:16 BingoBoingo Aite
16:28 diana_coman well, doing stty -F /dev/ttyUSB1 first so far (2 times, so machine rebooted in between...) at least had dd going well
16:28 diana_coman hard to say if that is more than a glitch or not though
16:30 diana_coman BingoBoingo, do you know whether smg main server has the black snake cables or what?
16:35 asciilifeform i was about to suggest, to swap both cables , see if these can be ruled out
16:36 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-31#1838486 << i've only ever observed pl2303-specific headache when 3+ operating ( and even then , consisted of slow, rather than halted, signal )
16:36 a111 Logged on 2018-07-31 19:57 diana_coman: asciilifeform, that tip says problems handling more than 2 but I have...2?
16:38 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: 'blue' is theoretically same chip, but from a diff chinese seller ( fwiw asciilifeform's desk FG operates from a 'blue' )
~ 25 minutes ~
17:04 diana_coman right, I'm anyway currently in need of a break and at a loss otherwise on this; so BingoBoingo at your leisure, please change the cables and leave only one FG plugged in for now; I'll get some sleep in first, so there's no hurry - anytime within next 10 hours works fine
17:04 asciilifeform diana_coman: i'm gonna try and replicate here in the torture room, with your proggy -- i have both cable types here
17:05 diana_coman asciilifeform, I doubt it's the cables really but can't hurt to rule that out
17:07 diana_coman a bit of reading on this famous pl2303 does suggest all sorts of "hanging" issues but I haven't found anything clearly applicable so far
17:07 asciilifeform diana_coman: ftr i am still on the lookout for anything like a practicable replacement for pl2303
17:07 diana_coman and other than the weird fact that read simply blocks randomly, I don't know
17:08 asciilifeform ( the 2 constraints -- 1) ~not ever ftdi~ 2) no flashable chips plox )
17:09 diana_coman sadly I don't know of any replacement to suggest, no
17:10 diana_coman also, the fact that dd *also* hangs at time there is a big red flag
17:10 asciilifeform indeed
17:11 diana_coman BingoBoingo, do you need me to shut down the box?
17:12 asciilifeform the possible suspects , so far -- 1) ttl dongles 2) hub 3) musl userland , somehow
17:12 asciilifeform ( kernel can be ruled out, both s.mg machines currently have afaik identical kernel )
17:12 asciilifeform rather, ruled out as primary cause, could easily be the ultimate barf source in conjunction with 1 / 2
17:12 diana_coman asciilifeform, on smg main server I ran only dd although I never had any problems nor wobbles nor anything with the fgs there
17:13 diana_coman and I can't really reset that
17:13 asciilifeform i'ma test on dulap also, it has identical fg/cabling setup to primary s.mg box
17:14 asciilifeform diana_coman: is http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-31#1838330 an exact description of the test ?
17:14 a111 Logged on 2018-07-31 15:49 diana_coman: asciilifeform, yes, get eucrypt and run the tests for smg_rsa, something like ./tests 11 11 (i.e. 11 times test no 11)
17:16 diana_coman asciilifeform, that's literally what ended up as main test because convenient: it attempts to generate 11 "dirty float" random numbers using 4 random octets from fg; first number there is number of repetitions; second number chooses what test to run (if you run only ./tests 11 without 2nd number it will print the list of what it knows to do)
17:17 diana_coman it ~always hung before finishing the 11 runs even
17:17 diana_coman occasionally it needed a few more
17:17 asciilifeform ok , should suffice for test, i'ma report tomorrow .
17:17 diana_coman thanks, I'm off to sleep
17:17 asciilifeform goodnight diana_coman
17:19 BingoBoingo <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, do you need me to shut down the box? << I will if you want me to pull it to swap cables.
17:20 diana_coman BingoBoingo, k, will shut it down
17:21 BingoBoingo Will have it ready <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, do you know whether smg main server has the black snake cables or what? << It does.
~ 1 hours 37 minutes ~
18:59 BingoBoingo diana_coman: Machine is ready, both cables swapped, but only one FUCKGOAT plugged in.
~ 26 minutes ~
19:25 asciilifeform lol BingoBoingo , it's still plural, sorta like 'scissors'
19:25 asciilifeform ( tho perhaps, a FG with only 1 rng plugged in, could be a 'fuckgoat' )
19:25 asciilifeform 1 scissor, 1 pant...
19:34 asciilifeform in other noose, since 1st time i asked the q in 2013, appears that there is ~to this day~ not such a thing as a 1Ghz oscilloscope with any linux support whatsoever.
19:35 asciilifeform not for 100 $, not for 100, not for 10,000.
19:36 asciilifeform 1000. whichever.
19:37 asciilifeform sorta hilarious , this, 'here's pc with very spiffy 6G/s pcie bus, for 100$, but if you want to connect something useful to that, haha, what do you think this is, the fyootoor'
19:40 mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2017/the-practical-costs-of-hallucinated-freedom/#selection-549.0-553.4 ie, "consumer market"
19:40 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: note, not in the i-dun-give-half-a-fuck-what-it-costs market, either
19:40 asciilifeform not the 250k agilent either.
19:40 mircea_popescu those don't use linux.
19:40 asciilifeform ( these, for extra laughter, come with ~built in windows~ in the instrument itself ! )
19:41 mircea_popescu aha
19:41 asciilifeform so if you want a 1G/s scope with os where you actually have some control of the timing ( for e.g. real time phase sampling ) you're 100% phuqed.
19:43 * asciilifeform wouldn't consider , say, 1btc , for a ~sane~ scope, to be unreasonable
19:45 asciilifeform ( in this context, 'sane' ~= sits on pcie bus, and ADC turnaround is fixed # of bus cycles, preferably 1. and documented i/o. )
19:45 mircea_popescu possibly firmware of one could be rewritten, liberating the item and saving you a coin
19:45 asciilifeform doubtful, all of the examples i've been able to peek into, are full of xilinx.
19:46 mircea_popescu heh
19:46 asciilifeform and they ~all do shenanigans with multiple slow ADCs masquerading as 1 fast one
19:46 asciilifeform i.e. are pressed shitboard , rather than hardwood.
19:48 mircea_popescu yes wee
19:48 asciilifeform i've turned up some hints that usg actually interferes with the ADC makers -- 'ohnoez, moscow could use fast ADC in radar set'
19:49 asciilifeform they're actually named by name on usg 'export ban' list.
19:49 asciilifeform ( how exactly this ties the hands of, e.g. , taiwanese fabs, i do not presume to know , but result is evident )
19:52 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> lol BingoBoingo , it's still plural, sorta like 'scissors' << apologies

21:32 mod6 The one that mircea_popescu rented for douchebag doesn't expire until the 19th iirc. I'll update you on that one. Unless mircea_popescu says to nuke it ahead of time.
21:34 asciilifeform mod6: recall, that one he asked to let be until expires
21:35 asciilifeform afterwards can go to new tenant.

21:43 mircea_popescu cuz someone totally gives a shit about whatever totallies horrible things nobody-on-a-stick maybe said somtime, or at least such could be constructively deduced bla bla bal.
21:43 mircea_popescu jesus fuck the kids today.
21:49 mircea_popescu it's just... somewhere between outrageous and ludicrous, i guess. on one hand, the fucktarded, moronic kids, coming up on their own power and out of their own skulls with this fantasy alt-world wherein anyone has any respect for the usg.freenode fuckwits, and in which alt-world they're gonna make known the big bad secrets, little snowdens that they be.
21:50 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: spambot, spammed '9000' unmoderated chans
21:50 mircea_popescu on the other hand, the mornic, fucktarded kids, coming up on their own power and out of their own skulls with this fantasy alt-world wherein they dun have to read the log and work with the republic and so on and so forth.
21:50 mircea_popescu it's just...
21:50 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes, but think about it. could have had shinohai's lordship, if only ritalin actually worked as an add cure.
21:51 asciilifeform i dun think there is a cure for what ails these .
21:51 asciilifeform hunchback straightens -- in the grave.
21:51 mircea_popescu no, because the cure would have been for their father to tie them to the same bed post as the stupid mother and beat both senseless the moment the "oh you're special and can do anything" nonsense came out of her mouth.
21:52 asciilifeform there's a dozen or so of these going, e.g. #linux-rockchip is filling up
21:52 mircea_popescu ~would have been~. were there a father, and were he around at the time called "formative", and could he be arsed to be alive and so forth.
21:52 * asciilifeform could not muster the fuck-giving to read the payload, has nfi what the thing wants
21:53 mircea_popescu asciilifeform and i'll bet you whatever you want that much like the #lisp morons failiong to realise what candi_lustt is ; so #linux-whjatever will fail to realise why #trilema doesn't have a problem, and what a voice model is, and what EXACTLY it means to be the intellectual inferior.
21:53 asciilifeform are we the only moderated chan left or wat
21:53 mircea_popescu we are the only humans left, actually.
21:53 asciilifeform entirely possible.
21:54 asciilifeform ( i recall a trilema article where mircea_popescu actually walked fleanode looking for signs of life, found ~0 )
21:55 mircea_popescu i recall a time the word "cretin" was coined, by humans walking the swiss alps and discovering villages of these inbred morons, rendered stupid by the lack of iodine.
21:55 mircea_popescu AMONG THEMSELVES, they didn't feel all that ridiculous.
21:56 mircea_popescu it was supposed to be "christian". as in, "they're who you're gonna run into in heaven, god's own most beloved children, the idiots."
21:56 mod6 <+mircea_popescu> mod6 do you need it or something ? << Not at all, Sir. I was going to let it expire indeed.
21:56 asciilifeform the ameri-protestants 'improved' even on this, their heaven iirc is full of aborted foeti
22:09 asciilifeform hey mod6 , why is #pizarro filling up with spamola ?
22:09 asciilifeform i thought we had +v
22:09 asciilifeform there's liquishit kilometre deep in there nao
22:12 mod6 I just +m'd it for now, but a long while ago we decided to keep it -m, so people could ask questions/speak freely.

22:56 douchebag However, I have been working on creating a security firm
22:58 douchebag Things are going very well, next month we're going to have a lot of news coverage due to some audits we did. We managed to find tons of 0days in an open source medical CMS as well as a IP Relay service used in much of Canada.
22:59 BingoBoingo From the links that got dropped: "Why GNU Linux is the operating system for Pedo-Positive Users"
22:59 douchebag BingoBoingo: That's a freenode troll
23:00 douchebag Someone made a bot that's been spamming it everywhere
23:01 BingoBoingo This is IRC, I am pretty sure everyone here has at least a little bit of troll in their ancestry. Except for the transylvanians
23:01 ben_vulpes douchebag: and you think that pantsuit press coverage instead of hosing their boxen is the key to fame fortune and a seat in tmsr?
23:01 douchebag But yeah, I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm not a useless piece of shit. I've just been focusing on my personal projects, I've also gotten in a few more Hall of Fame's for some vulnerabilities I discovered.
23:01 ben_vulpes the whole responsible disclosure threads went clear over your head
23:02 ben_vulpes douchebag: link to any of these famous halls?
23:02 douchebag ben_vulpes: I understand we disagree on that, however I'm trying to make money - I don't see how hosting rockchips that are overpriced is going to generate revenue in the long term.
23:03 douchebag I'm in AT&T Hall of Fame

23:05 ben_vulpes heh hall of fame is what they give out to make the 750 bucks not sting so bad, huh?
23:05 * mircea_popescu is looking at ben_vulpes talking to himself, shakes head.
23:06 mod6 :D
23:06 douchebag Well, it wasn't neccesarily a critical vulnerability - it was just rather unique. The hall of Fame's just help for my resume
23:07 douchebag Also the security firm I'm working on is expected to pull at least a half million dollars by december
23:07 ben_vulpes i seee deaaaad people!
23:07 mircea_popescu fellow has ~infinite energy to expend, but strictly towards the wrong goals. provide him with some self-defeating goals, he'll stay up nights.
23:07 mircea_popescu just like the weev morons, writing "advertising" irc bots to advertise inept usg alt-agenda to me. because yea, totally, THAT'll work, and is the way to spend a youth.
23:08 douchebag I just have not been enlightened on why my goals are "the wrong goals", the goals I'm working towards are going to help me feed my family someday and at the end of the day that is what matters to me.
23:08 mircea_popescu they'll "leave their mark", or w/e they call it now. a giant pink L in the foam of the sea.
23:10 ben_vulpes 2 unclosed tags on altavista.com/bugbounty
23:10 douchebag The SSL cert is also invalid
23:18 douchebag My main problem with the Pizarro business model is that I could essentially get the same service by purchasing a fiber internet connection and hooking it up to a rockchip and then SSHing into it
23:19 douchebag In addition to that, most people are just going to go with a cheaper & higher performance alternative
