|---|---|---|
| cybershow | got a couple of boards with inbuilt f/w ports as it was really popular for AV work about 20 years ago | Oct 27 00:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Steve Jobs declared FireWire dead in 2008.[33] | Oct 27 00:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Steve Jobs was declared dead a few years later. | Oct 27 00:18 |
| MinceR | lol | Oct 27 00:19 |
| MinceR | Netcraft confirms steve jobs is dead | Oct 27 00:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Er ist tot. | Oct 27 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I wonder if any of his cancer woo woo practitioners attended the funeral. | Oct 27 00:20 |

| nobody | seeing Milk-V Duo S type hardware, that's the burden with modern toolchains (c++), those cannot be used on embedded hardware themselves | Oct 27 00:25 |
| nobody | riscv-tcc made progress, but the whole software infrastructure including kernel/hardware-support just isn't there | Oct 27 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | The first one was just "Death of a salesman." | Oct 27 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | No big loss. | Oct 27 00:26 |
| nobody | except if a modern *BSD kernel could be compiled/linked with riscv-tcc, didn't try myself | Oct 27 00:27 |
| nobody | bootstrappable.org did not yet arrive at a riscv-tcc/toolchain, nor bootable kernel nor boot-loader etc. | Oct 27 00:27 |
| nobody | they focus on linux over there, but common issues intersect with *BSD alike | Oct 27 00:28 |

| cybershow | RISC-V is super important I wonder whay more ebergy is not going in to it? | Oct 27 00:28 |
| nobody | very good question, and there seems a trivial answer to this | Oct 27 00:28 |
| nobody | see, Nvidia(R) accounts for a total >4trillion$$$ on their balance, and is invested into RISC-V | Oct 27 00:29 |
| MinceR | more like death of a cult leader | Oct 27 00:29 |
| nobody | nonetheless RISC-V is NOT(!!!) bootstrapped, and the developers who could do it are only few and haven't got sufficient funding for it | Oct 27 00:30 |
| nobody | meanwhile Nvidia dumps billions into "shareholder value" elsewhere | Oct 27 00:30 |
| MinceR | people seem to be pretty bitter about RISC-V | Oct 27 00:30 |
| nobody | i think this could be the explanation | Oct 27 00:30 |
| MinceR | missing features, unreliable developer boards | Oct 27 00:30 |
| nobody | and just as said, RISC-V is NOT bootstrapped, a most enlighting approach from the engineering perspective | Oct 27 00:31 |
| cybershow | aren't there practical examples of Linux running on RISC-V ? | Oct 27 00:31 |
| nobody | cybershow: yes, but none of this is fully bootstrapped | Oct 27 00:32 |
| nobody | of cause you can deploy to any foreign ISA without bootstrapping, but then this misses most important development stages | Oct 27 00:32 |
| cybershow | by which you mean an open tool-chain right down the stack? | Oct 27 00:32 |
| nobody | just in case RISC-V ever shall replace x86_32 | Oct 27 00:33 |
| nobody | cybershow: it's a non-trivial issue, and documented by bootstrappable.org (including the incomplete!!! risc-v and aarch64 variants) | Oct 27 00:33 |
| cybershow | okay, something I need to understand | Oct 27 00:34 |
| nobody | if RISC-V was supposed to be just any other abritrary ISA then bootstrapping was less relevant | Oct 27 00:34 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I just started playing Spear of Destiny last night. | Oct 27 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Holy shit. | Oct 27 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | That is a tough one. | Oct 27 00:35 |
| cybershow | ah yes I see, this goes back to trusting trust | Oct 27 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I went in guns blazing like Wolfenstein 3d and found out quickly the game punishes you for that. | Oct 27 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | It's easier to lure the guards to you with a gunshot. | Oct 27 00:36 |
| nobody | yes cybershow, but trusting trust is merely symptomatic for an absent bootstrapping chain | Oct 27 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | It makes a lot more sense than Wolf3d did because in Wolf3d there were so many guards marked as "deaf" that just didn't alert on a gunshot. | Oct 27 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | So you could literally shoot a guard standing to him and he still wouldn't alert until you were in his line of sight. | Oct 27 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Which I always thought was so stupid. | Oct 27 00:37 |
| nobody | and from a practical standpoing, llvm/clang and/or gcc/binutils/g++ just do NOT match the hardware-capabilities of a Milk-V Duo S | Oct 27 00:37 |
| MinceR | :> | Oct 27 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | In Spear, you fire a gun and every guard in the area comes pouring in on top of you. | Oct 27 00:37 |
| cybershow | can't it start from assembly language? A viable minimal compiler in RISC-V ASM? | Oct 27 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | The game's engine is exactly the same, there's just almost no guards with the "deaf" flag in Spear. | Oct 27 00:38 |
| nobody | so whole FOSS had to overhaul itself beginning with the C-toolchain/assembler/bootstrapping and rebuild the entire software stack | Oct 27 00:38 |
| cybershow | and build a chain of trust up from that? | Oct 27 00:38 |
| nobody | cybershow: sure it can, but it's a non-trivial task to say the least | Oct 27 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | If you fire a gun, the game sends a sound wave through all open areas that doesn't stop until it hits an area that has a closed door. | Oct 27 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | And as soon as the guards in however big of an area that is hear it, they're programmed to come investigate. | Oct 27 00:39 |
| nobody | the current "chain of trust" is this: live-bootstrap got a complete system-bootstrap for x86_32, and all else MUST be cross-compiled from there one way or another | Oct 27 00:39 |
| cybershow | indeed, somthing a research team at a uni or big open shop needs to get on | Oct 27 00:39 |
| nobody | and the system-bootstrap for x86_32 is far from optimal, hence the desire to do it for some other ISA, such as RISC-V | Oct 27 00:39 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, So in Spear a better way to deal with them is open the door and fire a shot. | Oct 27 00:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Let them bottleneck at that door and kill them all in a giant conga line of Nazis. | Oct 27 00:39 |
| MinceR | lol | Oct 27 00:40 |
| cybershow | I hope it comes with time. I'd love to run RISC-V system with a fully trustable stack right down to the HW | Oct 27 00:40 |
| nobody | good news is: riscv-tcc already exists, and with a little cross-compilation involved this might yield a bootable system and kernel.img with sufficient hardware support | Oct 27 00:41 |
| IsambardPrince | if it's on a computer, you can't really trust it. | Oct 27 00:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Trust is imaginary. | Oct 27 00:41 |
| nobody | i doubt however, this could be some modern Linux kernel (because this one is locked against g++/llvm without hope to detangle this ever) | Oct 27 00:41 |
| cybershow | I remember that isambard... "Mein Leben!" "Mein Leben!" "Mein Leben!" | Oct 27 00:42 |
| nobody | however i won't touch RISC-V, because i don't see long-term hardware supply on the horizon | Oct 27 00:42 |
| cybershow | not true Isambard... one or twice in my life I built a computer, from 68000 chips and things I could trust | Oct 27 00:42 |
| nobody | just in case i ever began hacking some kernel for RISC-V, the moment when the job is done for any hardware variant | Oct 27 00:43 |
| cybershow | but you're right... not any commercial h/w. not any longer, that's why RISC-V is attractive | Oct 27 00:43 |
| nobody | it's obsolete next day | Oct 27 00:43 |
| cybershow | so RISC is still not stable enough? | Oct 27 00:44 |
| nobody | i've been through this mess before, with aarch32/64, it's a nightmare to keep toolchain broadly compatible, leave alone picking some kernel-version which does not regress | Oct 27 00:44 |
| nobody | cybershow: i did not yet study RISC-V in detail, to my knowledge there is no common baseline to begin with | Oct 27 00:44 |
| nobody | each hardware and OS-vendor throwing random versions at each other | Oct 27 00:45 |
| nobody | and bother hardware and software obsoleted each few month | Oct 27 00:45 |
| nobody | *both | Oct 27 00:45 |
| cybershow | yes that's unacceptably shakey ground to stand on for a dev | Oct 27 00:46 |
| nobody | and that's fundementally different to IBM PC with X86_16/32/64 legacy-BIOS boot | Oct 27 00:46 |
| cybershow | so there needs to be a solid develpment consortium to make RISC-V standards that's NOT NVIDIA | Oct 27 00:47 |
| cybershow | that's probably going to be Chinese or European, right? | Oct 27 00:47 |
| nobody | i think first and foremost the industry must not have abandoned what was known working for 50years | Oct 27 00:48 |
| nobody | and even legacy-BIOS was not fully stabilized, until today (if you look at coreboot/SeaBIOS for example, that's NOT bootstrappable still) | Oct 27 00:48 |
| nobody | and what would some "consortium" come up with next? UEFI? i wouldn't place any bets on this. | Oct 27 00:49 |
| cybershow | well I guess what you want... a transparrent bootstrapable path? | Oct 27 00:50 |
| nobody | another important difference: in 1970s big corporations were established in some tiny garages (Apple, MICROS~1) with a half a dozen hackers | Oct 27 00:50 |
| nobody | nowadays, this is IMPOSSIBLE | Oct 27 00:50 |
| nobody | you couldn't at least design and implement some simple 16Bit SoC _without_ a monstrosity such as Altera Quartus which will cost you $10k or more | Oct 27 00:51 |
| cybershow | what are the reasons for this impossibility? | Oct 27 00:51 |
| MinceR | well, microslop was made by IBM, though | Oct 27 00:51 |
| MinceR | (and microslop's connections to IBM) | Oct 27 00:51 |
| cybershow | there is a saying in philosophy, if something has bappened it can happen :) | Oct 27 00:52 |
| MinceR | also, there were no hackers in either | Oct 27 00:52 |
| cybershow | a possibility once is a necessity forever | Oct 27 00:52 |
| cybershow | are we not as smart as the 1970s now? | Oct 27 00:52 |
| MinceR | probably not | Oct 27 00:52 |
| nobody | i would say, we already LOST the science and skills that existed in 1960s/70s | Oct 27 00:53 |
| nobody | although there is a few maniacs who can construct a simple 16bit calculator with pencil and paper, bootstrapping a forth for it etc. | Oct 27 00:53 |
| nobody | it's impossible to bridge the gap to anything practically usefull from there, with an IPv4 IRC client at least | Oct 27 00:54 |
| nobody | and well, yes, the entire history of this coincides with IBM MICROS~1 DOS | Oct 27 00:54 |
| cybershow | there are smart kids out not to underestimate, if they can build a CPU in minecraft they can build one in reality, given the motives and opportunities | Oct 27 00:55 |
| cybershow | we seem to live a society that has abandoned innovation | Oct 27 00:55 |
| cybershow | I mean *real* innovation, as a practical everyday skill | Oct 27 00:56 |
| cybershow | and drifted into complacency | Oct 27 00:56 |
| MinceR | the market doesn't want it, the "leaders" don't want it | Oct 27 00:56 |
| MinceR | the market wants shiny, trendy shit | Oct 27 00:57 |
| cybershow | sure, but fuck the "markets and leaders" | Oct 27 00:57 |
| MinceR | the "leaders" want easily controlled, easily limited shit | Oct 27 00:57 |
| MinceR | and most people have APT | Oct 27 00:57 |
| MinceR | so yeah | Oct 27 00:57 |
| cybershow | they're also an illusion | Oct 27 00:57 |
| *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) | Oct 27 00:57 | |
| cybershow | the "leaders" are clearly going to get less and less of what they "want" | Oct 27 00:57 |
| nobody | yes, because a capable Milk-V Duo S sane and simple type Unix would ignite a gigantic write-off in the balance sheets | Oct 27 00:57 |
| MinceR | IT was flooded by the clueless masses and the industry ignores the IT workers now | Oct 27 00:58 |
| cybershow | that's why they'er shitting their pants | Oct 27 00:58 |
| *includeals (~includeal@bl18-27-126.dsl.telepac.pt) has joined #techrights | Oct 27 00:58 | |
| cybershow | in fact, to a great extent I do not think there are any "leaders" at all, just frightened old men with too much money and no ideas | Oct 27 00:59 |
| cybershow | keeping the kids stupid is the only way to hold on to power | Oct 27 00:59 |
| nobody | j-core.org documented a few more technical reasons, with their 32bit turtle board project | Oct 27 00:59 |
| nobody | and otherwise, kids aren't any more or less stupid than ever | Oct 27 01:00 |
| cybershow | I saw the turtle board project and was impressed | Oct 27 01:00 |
| nobody | but nowadays they're all trapped in the psychiatric ward of the tech industry from their youngest age | Oct 27 01:00 |
| MinceR | 27 015903 < cybershow> in fact, to a great extent I do not think there are any "leaders" at all, just frightened old men with too much money and no ideas | Oct 27 01:00 |
| cybershow | exactly nobody, we need to put faith in the young, they see what is what | Oct 27 01:00 |
| MinceR | there are people with ASPD, and usually also NPD | Oct 27 01:00 |
| MinceR | they see us all as tools | Oct 27 01:01 |
| MinceR | and the majority of the people have APT, so they want to be oppressed by the ASPD enjoyers and they want to serve the ASPD enjoyers | Oct 27 01:01 |
| MinceR | they also want everyone else to be oppressed in the same way | Oct 27 01:01 |
| cybershow | and their luck is running out | Oct 27 01:01 |
| MinceR | is it? | Oct 27 01:01 |
| cybershow | leadership and vision are some things that are important but now absent at the top, that cannot last | Oct 27 01:04 |
| MinceR | it's not leadership, it's "leadership" | Oct 27 01:04 |
| MinceR | insane person says something insane, and the authoritarian masses obey without hesitation or thought | Oct 27 01:05 |
| cybershow | I discovered a new word but now I forgot it and have to research | Oct 27 01:05 |
| cybershow | it means "history as science" | Oct 27 01:05 |
| cybershow | Oh well, of course I can't find it now, and search is truly dead | Oct 27 01:07 |
| cybershow | but its a fascinating concept | Oct 27 01:08 |
| cybershow | anyway... leaders as derelict as Trump always die horribly, inevitably | Oct 27 01:08 |
| cybershow | its the one certain precistion | Oct 27 01:09 |
| cybershow | and the others around then fall very quickly | Oct 27 01:09 |
| cybershow | many of the broligarchs know that once it starts crumbling they better escape to a bumker or will endu in jail, or worse | Oct 27 01:10 |
| MinceR | they always take too damn long to die, and the 77M mouth-breathers who voted him into power are still mostly around, and just as stupid | Oct 27 01:12 |
| cybershow | One of the obvious ones is Zuckerberg | Oct 27 01:12 |
| cybershow | I mean, cmon , you've been playing Wolfenstein the last week! :) | Oct 27 01:13 |
| cybershow | Zuck: "Mein Leben!" | Oct 27 01:13 |
| cybershow | Plenty to learn from the cold-war in Europe too | Oct 27 01:15 |
| cybershow | ever see Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu. One day the crowds are cheering and wavig flags outside the palace. An hour later they're dragging them out into the yard. | Oct 27 01:17 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.indiatoday.in | Microsoft buyout explained: What employees get and what happens if they say no - India Today | Oct 27 05:12 | |
| techrights-news | "More than 30% of eligible employees accepted the offer, helping reduce the scale of subsequent job cuts, Microsoft Chief People Officer Amy Coleman said in July." | Oct 27 05:13 |
| techrights-news | 30% of 60,000 is about 20,000 | Oct 27 05:13 |
| techrights-news | But that was for older workers, who were near their 50s or 60s anyway | Oct 27 05:14 |
| techrights-news | "Microsoft has not said that employees who decline the offer will automatically lose their jobs. Nor does the Business Insider report establish that refusing the buyout will lead to a subsequent layoff." | Oct 27 05:14 |
| techrights-news | "However, the company has made clear that the current offer has a deadline. Employees who want to accept it must decide by early December, while those who take the package are expected to leave at the end of the year." | Oct 27 05:14 |
| techrights-news | "The distinction matters because a voluntary buyout is not the same as a compulsory layoff. Under a buyout, eligible employees can choose to leave in exchange for the specified benefits. A later layoff, if one occurs, could involve a different process and different terms." | Oct 27 05:15 |
| techrights-news | "For Microsoft employees, the immediate decision is whether the severance, stock vesting and health insurance benefits make the offer worth accepting. What happens to those who decline remains unclear, and the company has not indicated that refusing the current offer will automatically lead to dismissal." | Oct 27 05:16 |

| nobody | after all what they've "generously" "invested", 600€/month total, for 2years, subject to fully repay if you didn't meet their standards | Oct 27 14:25 |
| nobody | so far TelekomHQ didn't ever bother to demand refunding, i would however wanted to kindly asked where MY money went | Oct 27 14:26 |
| nobody | because the contract was _never_ terminated, and 20years is a long time | Oct 27 14:26 |
| nobody | plus interest, plus compensation of damages, that's probably the reason why it's all been drowning below noise floor | Oct 27 14:26 |
| nobody | up until when, all of the sudden out of nowhere, some teleco management deficiencies are disclosed | Oct 27 14:27 |
| nobody | they couldn't manage german railway telco grid reliably anymore, nor german digital military radio system | Oct 27 14:27 |
| nobody | in parallel to the "final nuclear shutdown" here | Oct 27 14:27 |
| nobody | i do see a connection between these incidentws | Oct 27 14:27 |
| nobody | yet corrupt politics, corrupt labor unions, overall the benefitiaries of this extortion and exploitation scam | Oct 27 14:28 |
| nobody | are throwing smoke grenades 360°, to cover-up what happened, and their responsibilites | Oct 27 14:28 |
| nobody | another irony of this: the employment agency where they created a file about me notes "distanced to labor market" with the necessity for "psychological evaluation" now | Oct 27 14:34 |
| nobody | that's considered "standard routine" by them | Oct 27 14:34 |
| nobody | thing is, it's labor unions pulling strings into this, just like they do among Telekom etc. | Oct 27 14:35 |
| nobody | besides it was Telekom too who got contracted to build the IT system at employment agency | Oct 27 14:35 |
| nobody | just a little speculation and theory | Oct 27 14:35 |
| nobody | and here comes the contradiction, regardless of all the hazzle in recent 20 years i was considered for hiring into a Professor position at a university in Thuringia still | Oct 27 14:36 |
| nobody | (with similar politics and interest involved as usual) | Oct 27 14:36 |
| nobody | so there's a discrepancy between what's noted inside the employment agency file about me, and a commission considering my application for a half a year at a University | Oct 27 14:37 |
| nobody | the only reason why this didn't yield anything, they wanted _more_ documents of mine, without any contracting nor salary | Oct 27 14:37 |
| nobody | which i kindly refused in the end | Oct 27 14:37 |
| nobody | my fault, of cause | Oct 27 14:37 |
| nobody | or what do they expect, lecture materials for students written _without_ salary? | Oct 27 14:38 |
| nobody | politics were hit all at once by this: nuclear shutdown, telekom university closure, military radio rollout failure, railway telco grid outages | Oct 27 14:40 |
| nobody | at almost he exact same time, all at once | Oct 27 14:40 |
| nobody | *the | Oct 27 14:40 |
| nobody | but it's been 20years to see my(!) prognosis materialize in reality, while TelekomHQ politics etc. didn't see it coming | Oct 27 14:41 |
| nobody | the deficiency on their budget for those few minor mistakes, who knows, 50billion € at that scale | Oct 27 14:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <nobody> after all what they've "generously" "invested", 600€/month total, for 2years, subject to fully repay if you didn't meet their standards | Oct 27 14:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that us not much money by their standards | Oct 27 14:43 |
| nobody | one proposal of mine now is this: after they had "privatized Telekom", then why not too "privatize" their public TV propaganda stations? | Oct 27 14:43 |
| nobody | this alone could save 8billion €, each year | Oct 27 14:43 |

| IsambardPrince | I told her I regularly took Vitamins C and D anyway because they support the immune system. | Oct 27 20:13 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not avoiding the respiratory crap, but it can take the edge off. | Oct 27 20:14 |
| IsambardPrince | What killed all those people during 1918 flu was not really the virus. | Oct 27 20:14 |
| IsambardPrince | It was an overreaction by the body's immune system that caused their lungs to fill up with fluid. | Oct 27 20:14 |
| IsambardPrince | And they drowned in that fluid. | Oct 27 20:14 |
| IsambardPrince | The innate immune system sometimes fights back way too hard and ends up killing you. | Oct 27 20:15 |
| IsambardPrince | My lungs have been filling up with phlegm. I was up last night coughing and running for the cough drops. | Oct 27 20:16 |
| IsambardPrince | But I've been taking an extra strength expectorant which makes the cough more productive. | Oct 27 20:16 |
| IsambardPrince | You don't want that stuff building up in the lungs while you have a dry cough that's not getting it out. | Oct 27 20:16 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I can't take anything that says DM on it. | Oct 27 20:20 |
| IsambardPrince | It mixes with my psych meds and can cause weird shit to happen. | Oct 27 20:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I get extremely loopy. It's almost like being on opioids. | Oct 27 20:21 |
| IsambardPrince | I have to make sure to get the plain extra strength Mucinex with nothing else in it. | Oct 27 20:21 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Dextromethorphan - Wikipedia | Oct 27 20:22 | |
| IsambardPrince | Have to avoid this. | Oct 27 20:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Everyone who is on an atypical antipsychotic or a SSRI or Tricyclic antidepressant needs to avoid this stuff like the plague. | Oct 27 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | sounds like trouble waiting to be triggered | Oct 27 20:23 |
| IsambardPrince | It is! | Oct 27 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | anyway, did you visit an "MD"? | Oct 27 20:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Not this time. | Oct 27 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in the us many medicate with doctor altmaan | Oct 27 20:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | too affraid of a bill | Oct 27 20:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | from a real doc | Oct 27 20:24 |
| IsambardPrince | There's not much they can really do about respiratory illness. | Oct 27 20:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Give you a bill for saying go home, jump in bed, take Mucinex, and get plenty of fluids. | Oct 27 20:24 |
| IsambardPrince | If it's the flu or COVID there are medicines, but not very good medicines, and they have to be started right away. | Oct 27 20:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | a bad MD might say this | Oct 27 20:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | better one gives diagnoss | Oct 27 20:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so you know what to do (or not do) | Oct 27 20:25 |
| IsambardPrince | When you go to the Urgent Care, most of them just say come back and get another bill if you still have it in 10 days. | Oct 27 20:25 |
| IsambardPrince | If you go to the family doctor, they have an appointment in two or three months. | Oct 27 20:26 |
| IsambardPrince | It's actually quicker to see most specialists than your family doctor. | Oct 27 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if you surivive | Oct 27 20:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, it's a racket, Roy. | Oct 27 20:27 |
| IsambardPrince | You might as well not even go unless it's gotten so bad you have to call 911. | Oct 27 20:27 |

| cybershow | If there is anything that can be called "security" it absolutely does not intersect with the set of all things about which know absolutely nothing and cannot know, even in principle. | Oct 27 22:46 |
