msb_ | MinceR: "<MinceR> and religions only tell us lies". You really should do some research before spouting such huge generalizations (Karl Marx didn't invent capitalism, either). What I wrote about were "Goddess religions -- Earth-centered religions -- that told us how to take care of our world". These gave people instructions for planting, weeding, harvesting, raising animals, etc., told as _stories_ by and about beings. This format | Oct 11 16:37 |
msb_ | made the information much more interesting and memorable to people than a bare list of instructions, because it appealed to their associative/metaphorical minds, not just their linear/literal minds. Read up on Wicca. | Oct 11 16:37 |

MinceR | and even if you get the procedure right by rote, embedding it in religion makes it static and impossible to improve | Oct 11 17:26 |
MinceR | thus you get rules that forbid eating pork, shellfish, etc. | Oct 11 17:26 |
msb_ | MinceR: No, you are confusing JCI religion with Wicca/Witchcraft/Goddess religion, which you probably have never researched. Goddess religions are joyful and flexible. And BTW, if you put some milk and cookies under your bed for Putin, who lives there, he'll be happy and will stop plotting against you. | Oct 11 17:32 |
MinceR | no, i'm talking about the fundamental principles of religion | Oct 11 17:34 |
MinceR | the idea of possessing a "Truth" that is inaccessible to reason, unprovable and delivered via revelation | Oct 11 17:34 |
MinceR | typically marking the ones possessing it as the Chosen People and everyone else as evil and/or expendable | Oct 11 17:34 |
MinceR | and since it's inaccessible to reason and unprovable, it's also typically static | Oct 11 17:35 |
MinceR | and the only thing that will stop putin plotting against me is his death | Oct 11 17:35 |
MinceR | and by the way, putin is plotting against you as well, even if you refuse to realize it | Oct 11 17:35 |

MinceR | i don't have access to his food or drink. | Oct 11 17:36 |
msb_ | MinceR: You are talking about the fundamental principles of Judeo/Christian/Islamic religion. Goddess religions are very different. Read about them. | Oct 11 17:45 |

cubexyz | it's using M$ tools to generate a proprietary blackbox product | Oct 11 21:26 |
schestowitz | Nice | Oct 11 21:26 |
cubexyz | I'm just pointing out that AMI is heavily dependent on Microsoft | Oct 11 21:26 |
cubexyz | and of course it makes it harder to do basic stuff with AMI BIOS with a Linux computer | Oct 11 21:27 |
cubexyz | like flashing your bios | Oct 11 21:27 |
cubexyz | Hence AMI is bad, and better alternatives exist | Oct 11 21:27 |
msb_ | I would like to present an alternative. When I first bought a mobo, and maybe before when I looked into the B | Oct 11 21:29 |
msb_ | BIOS of my first PC. The BIOS mfr that I remember is AMI. They may have been the first and principal bios mfr. | Oct 11 21:30 |
cubexyz | Gary Kildall invented the first BIOS | Oct 11 21:30 |
msb_ | They started using MS tools because those were what was available for PCs. I did too. | Oct 11 21:30 |
cubexyz | originally Intel wrote their own tools | Oct 11 21:31 |
cubexyz | then shortly after that they started using MASM | Oct 11 21:32 |
msb_ | But AMI was the popular BIOS mfr, not Kildall. | Oct 11 21:32 |
cubexyz | there was a history of CP/M computers before then IBM PC existed | Oct 11 21:34 |
msb_ | You say updating the bios requires a windows program. It's not true, at least with the asus 990fx mobo. A bios image can be loaded from a usb stick using only the bios, no OS at all. | Oct 11 21:34 |
msb_ | The point is, the fact that AMI uses MS tools does not mean that their BIOS is "bad". | Oct 11 21:35 |
cubexyz | I fail to see how it could be any worse | Oct 11 21:36 |
msb_ | The 990FX mobo uses an ami bios, but it can be updated without using windows. | Oct 11 21:36 |
cubexyz | that's about as bad as can be | Oct 11 21:36 |
MinceR | i think we'll find out in a decade or a few decades how bad it can be | Oct 11 21:36 |
MinceR | apparently everyone who has power wants that | Oct 11 21:37 |
cubexyz | the original IBM PC BIOS was built with Intel ASM86 | Oct 11 21:37 |
msb_ | Your use of "bad" and "worse" are contentless judgement terms. You're afraid of contamination. You have to specify precisely _what_ is bad and _why_ it is bad. | Oct 11 21:37 |
cubexyz | I did specifiy _exactly_ what was bad | Oct 11 21:38 |
msb_ | What? Everything from AMI? | Oct 11 21:38 |
cubexyz | proprietary closed source BIOS which can't be reviewed or checked in any way other than reverse engineering | Oct 11 21:38 |
cubexyz | if it wasn't for the leaks, I would have no clue at all about what AMI does | Oct 11 21:39 |
msb_ | What I suspect you're going to come up with is a slow expensive mobo/cpu combination, that will be of no use to people who want to play games or watch videos. But you won't care because _you_ don't play games or watch videos. | Oct 11 21:40 |
cubexyz | msb_ you are a real goof | Oct 11 21:40 |
cubexyz | I worked for LGP | Oct 11 21:40 |
cubexyz | do you know what that means? | Oct 11 21:41 |
msb_ | No, I'm telling the truth. | Oct 11 21:41 |
msb_ | No | Oct 11 21:41 |
cubexyz | it means I worked for a video game publisher | Oct 11 21:41 |
cubexyz | Linux Game Publishing | Oct 11 21:41 |
msb_ | So what? If your solution is no good for playing games or watching compressed videos, it will not be accepted by the majority of people. If you don't care about that, then you should admit it. | Oct 11 21:42 |
msb_ | Linux can already circumvent UEFI, and the 990FX mobo can even turn it off entirely. | Oct 11 21:43 |
MinceR | can it circumvent Restricted Boot that presents no option for disabling and doesn't let you to change the keys? | Oct 11 21:44 |
msb_ | So the problem that remains is AMT/DASH, and if that can be solved with a $50 to $100 SBC router with open-source code, then _that_ solution _will_ work for most people. | Oct 11 21:45 |
msb_ | MinceR: There is some kind of shim loader that is signed with MS keys that enables all Linuxes to boot. | Oct 11 21:46 |
MinceR | until m$ makes up a malware scare and revokes those keys. | Oct 11 21:46 |
MinceR | s/those keys/the certificate that loader is signed with/ | Oct 11 21:47 |
cubexyz | right, let's become more dependent on Microsoft :-P | Oct 11 21:47 |
cubexyz | what a stupid idea | Oct 11 21:47 |
MinceR | having m$ hold the only keys to one's "computer" is unacceptable | Oct 11 21:47 |
cubexyz | it's very simple... | Oct 11 21:47 |
msb_ | Can those keys be revoked? That would require the bios to call home to MS before accepting the keys.] | Oct 11 21:47 |
cubexyz | if you don't have the source code you don't have control, simple as that | Oct 11 21:47 |
MinceR | afaik it's designed so it can be revoked | Oct 11 21:47 |
msb_ | MinceR: please give a reference. | Oct 11 21:48 |
MinceR | but it may require booting some OS that's obedient to m$ to actually do the call home | Oct 11 21:48 |
MinceR | another way would be exploiting a security hole in winblows to chain-load your own bootloader | Oct 11 21:48 |
MinceR | but i don't want to have to jailbreak my computer | Oct 11 21:48 |
msb_ | In that case, if the shim loader loads Linux, the MS key cannot be revoked. | Oct 11 21:48 |
MinceR | until someone boots winblows on that system once | Oct 11 21:49 |
MinceR | or until systemd does the call home, etc. | Oct 11 21:49 |

MinceR | "But eventually you'll be noticed, and then Microsoft produce a key revocation blob and vendors push it out via their OS update mechanisms." | Oct 11 21:51 |
cubexyz | why put yourselves in a position where you'd be dependent on Microsoft's key? | Oct 11 21:52 |

cubexyz | MinceR, yes | Oct 11 21:52 |
MinceR | :> | Oct 11 21:52 |
cubexyz | the truth is the truth | Oct 11 21:52 |
cubexyz | most people aren't 'mad', they just don't think about stuff like BIOS | Oct 11 21:53 |
MinceR | it seems to me that most people happily cede control to companies like m$ and crApple | Oct 11 21:53 |
MinceR | for example, see the popularity of crApple's backdoored mobile devices | Oct 11 21:54 |
cubexyz | what they tell me is one of two things: | Oct 11 21:54 |
MinceR | also, talk to such people | Oct 11 21:54 |
MinceR | they'll tell you they don't mind | Oct 11 21:54 |
cubexyz | I'm too old to learn $NEW_THING | Oct 11 21:54 |
cubexyz | or | Oct 11 21:54 |
cubexyz | It's too hard to learn, I can't understand it | Oct 11 21:54 |
cubexyz | I made the same mistakes when I was younger | Oct 11 21:55 |
cubexyz | it's taken me a long time to get to this point | Oct 11 21:55 |
cubexyz | and they are right, it is hard to learn all the details about the BIOS | Oct 11 21:56 |
cubexyz | but that's what I've decided to do | Oct 11 21:56 |
cubexyz | like I said before, I'm seeing more customers use chromebooks, so there is some will to break away from the "mother-ship" of Microsoft | Oct 11 21:57 |

cubexyz | Mincer, if you have a superior suggestion, I'm all ears :) | Oct 11 21:58 |
MinceR | but at least they could if they wanted to | Oct 11 21:58 |
MinceR | i don't have any suggestion that can be practically implemented right now | Oct 11 21:58 |
cubexyz | I can tell you I've talked to some Google and Coreboot people | Oct 11 21:58 |
cubexyz | and they are much friendlier than Microsoft people by far | Oct 11 21:59 |
<--amarsh04 has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Oct 11 21:59 | |
cubexyz | all AMI has to do to change my mind about them is simple: give me commented source code to one motherboard | Oct 11 21:59 |
cubexyz | that's it... if they do that, I'll give them a thumbs up | Oct 11 22:00 |
cubexyz | people do have a vague idea that the computer world is getting more closed | Oct 11 22:01 |
cubexyz | look at PVRs, once they did not encrypt the video, now they almost always do | Oct 11 22:01 |
cubexyz | MinceR, hopefully Novena will catch on and become cheaper | Oct 11 22:02 |
MinceR | hopefully they're willing to manufacture the Senoko boards again | Oct 11 22:03 |
MinceR | without those, it isn't even a laptop | Oct 11 22:03 |
MinceR | at any rate, it's probably a PITA to acquire at all | Oct 11 22:04 |
MinceR | well, at least some chromebooks are available for sale in hungary now | Oct 11 22:04 |
MinceR | afaict a few months ago there were none | Oct 11 22:04 |
msb_ | cubexyz: It's ridiculous to expect AMI to give you "commented source code to one motherboard". They would be killing their entire business -- their source of income. | Oct 11 22:06 |
cubexyz | msb_, I told them any motherboard, no matter how old | Oct 11 22:06 |
cubexyz | well, newer than IBM PC at least | Oct 11 22:07 |
msb_ | What would a very old one accomplish? | Oct 11 22:07 |
cubexyz | I have commented AMI BIOS source code anyways | Oct 11 22:07 |
msb_ | Please share it. | Oct 11 22:07 |
msb_ | Does it deal with UEFI/secure-boot or AMT/DASH? | Oct 11 22:08 |
MinceR | well, redcrap has apparently developed a method to avoid leaking commented source code | Oct 11 22:08 |
cubexyz | I have two: 1999 era, and 2011 era BIOS | Oct 11 22:08 |
MinceR | they don't write comments in the first place | Oct 11 22:08 |
cubexyz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/ami-firmware.torrent | Oct 11 22:09 |
cubexyz | that's the newer one | Oct 11 22:09 |
msb_ | So far, what I've seen about MS revoking their keys involves MS putting out a BIOS update. | Oct 11 22:09 |
MinceR | i don't think that's a full-blown BIOS update | Oct 11 22:10 |
MinceR | but what if it is? | Oct 11 22:10 |
MinceR | they're still going to install it automatically if you let their malware boot once | Oct 11 22:10 |
cubexyz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/mystery-code-do-not-look.zip | Oct 11 22:10 |
cubexyz | ok, that disappears in a hour :) | Oct 11 22:10 |
cubexyz | you have your chance, make your time :) | Oct 11 22:10 |
MinceR | mystery meat! | Oct 11 22:11 |
MinceR | you have no chance to survive make your time. | Oct 11 22:11 |
msb_ | To avoid that, one can refuse any BIOS update. But a safer approach is to save your working BIOS, and reflash with that if your bios gets updated against your wishes. | Oct 11 22:11 |
MinceR | if they allow you to reflash | Oct 11 22:11 |
cubexyz | some notes: | Oct 11 22:12 |
cubexyz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/bios.txt | Oct 11 22:12 |
cubexyz | the weird thing is AMI does have a SVN for BIOS source code | Oct 11 22:14 |
cubexyz | not sure how much $$$ you need to get access | Oct 11 22:15 |
-->amarsh04 (~amarsh04@ppp14-2-32-233.lns21.adl2.internode.on.net) has joined #techrights | Oct 11 22:18 | |
cubexyz | the problem with using Microsoft's key is what if you compile your kernel and now they need you to have a signed kernel? | Oct 11 22:19 |
cubexyz | it's a problem | Oct 11 22:19 |
MinceR | probably one of the first steps will involve demanding you to use redcrap's signed kernel blob | Oct 11 22:21 |
MinceR | and it will get darker from there | Oct 11 22:21 |
cubexyz | so forced systemd potentially | Oct 11 22:21 |
MinceR | indeed | Oct 11 22:21 |
MinceR | i suspect that kernel will be garrettux anyway | Oct 11 22:22 |
MinceR | with kdbus | Oct 11 22:22 |
cubexyz | the 1999 BIOS is pretty clean, I haven't found anything bad | Oct 11 22:22 |
msb_ | cubexyz: Thanks for that stuff! | Oct 11 22:23 |
cubexyz | msb_, what stuff? | Oct 11 22:23 |
cubexyz | :) | Oct 11 22:23 |
cubexyz | just a mystery file that will be deleted | Oct 11 22:23 |
msb_ | Can't one just use the signed shim-loader and then any OS? | Oct 11 22:23 |
cubexyz | maybe | Oct 11 22:24 |
MinceR | only as long as m$ will sign (and not revoke the signature on) a loader that will load any OS | Oct 11 22:24 |
MinceR | see 'malware scare' above | Oct 11 22:24 |
cubexyz | it's such a simple thing, wanting the BIOS source code | Oct 11 22:25 |
cubexyz | and yet, so difficult to get | Oct 11 22:25 |
MinceR | it's such a simple thing, wanting control over what a device someone bought with their own money | Oct 11 22:26 |
msb_ | But if you can save the original bios image, and then reflash it if MS manages to change your bios, you're ok, right? | Oct 11 22:26 |
MinceR | does | Oct 11 22:26 |
MinceR | i'm not sure if you can even dump the image | Oct 11 22:26 |
MinceR | or where it actually stores the revocation information | Oct 11 22:26 |
cubexyz | right, it's all a big mystery | Oct 11 22:27 |
msb_ | With the 990FX mobo, you can dump the bios image to a usb stick and restore it from there using only the bios -- no os. You can do the same with the keys. | Oct 11 22:28 |
cubexyz | the fact of the matter is, not even raspberry pi has BIOS source code | Oct 11 22:28 |
msb_ | But hopefully some SBC does, with two ethernet ports, that can be used to make a router. | Oct 11 22:30 |
MinceR | or an ethernet port and a usb port, or two usb ports | Oct 11 22:30 |
MinceR | though i guess usb ethernet dongles are less than optimal | Oct 11 22:31 |
cubexyz | eventually someone is going to do it | Oct 11 22:31 |
MinceR | but afaik raspberry pi-s already use an ethernet port that's internally connected via usb | Oct 11 22:31 |
cubexyz | Award merged with Phoenix btw | Oct 11 22:31 |
cubexyz | the other question is why did IBM offer 286 BIOS source code, and never again after that? | Oct 11 22:32 |
msb_ | cubexyz: Right! Two more names I remember. | Oct 11 22:33 |
cubexyz | but I don't remember flashing the BIOS on a 286 | Oct 11 22:34 |
cubexyz | imagine booting into a BASIC of your own design | Oct 11 22:35 |
*MinceR shudders | Oct 11 22:35 | |
cubexyz | on the Amiga we changed the rom chip | Oct 11 22:39 |
MinceR | apparently now discrete rom chips and sockets are too expensive | Oct 11 22:40 |
msb_ | The hard part may be finding the AMT/DASH command packet codes so they can be filtered out. | Oct 11 22:40 |
cubexyz | you had to update the BIOS somehow on the IBM AT to get 720K 3.5" drives working | Oct 11 22:41 |
cubexyz | my 286 clone had 1.2 meg 5.25 drives | Oct 11 22:42 |

cubexyz | ok, just search on "Apple Computer vs Franklin" | Oct 11 22:53 |
cubexyz | Franklin cloned the Apple II | Oct 11 22:53 |
cubexyz | Franklin actually won their case but... | Oct 11 22:54 |
cubexyz | Apple appealed | Oct 11 22:55 |
cubexyz | I think the IBM 286 used Phoenix BIOS | Oct 11 22:55 |
cubexyz | or maybe it was the clones | Oct 11 22:55 |
cubexyz | anyways, Phoenix made the first PC ROM BIOS 'clone' | Oct 11 22:57 |
cubexyz | Phoenix also developed the PS/2 BIOS | Oct 11 22:58 |

cubexyz | interesting magazine prediction from 1987: | Oct 12 00:02 |
cubexyz | "the market will transition from an IBM standard to a Intel/MS-DOS/expansion bus standard" | Oct 12 00:02 |
msb_ | Can't find anything on the AMD website about whether the FX-8350 contains the DASH system. DASH is supposed to be an "open standard" so maybe they'll talk to me on the phone about it. | Oct 12 00:34 |
msb_ | I've narrowed the population I want to find secure solutions for two groups: 1. People willing to use Linux who already have a computer they like 2. People willing to use Linux and are looking to buy a new fast computer. | Oct 12 00:38 |
msb_ | Of course windows users are hopeless. | Oct 12 00:38 |
msb_ | AMD FX-8350 CPU and ASUS 990FX mobo will work for group 2 (which includes me) if that CPU doesn't have DASH or if its command packets can be filtered out by an SBC router. | Oct 12 00:41 |
cubexyz | the corporate forces are aligned against the people | Oct 12 00:41 |
cubexyz | Microsoft, AMI, Adobe, Apple, etc etc | Oct 12 00:41 |
cubexyz | oh you may as well add HP to that list | Oct 12 00:42 |
cubexyz | they've been quite unhelpful in the last decade or so | Oct 12 00:42 |
msb_ | Why include AMI? Their BIOS for the 990FX can totally disable secure-boot, and can easily (re-)flash the BIOS. | Oct 12 00:43 |
cubexyz | well AMI is a google partner | Oct 12 00:49 |
msb_ | ...and remove and replace the secure-boot keys. | Oct 12 00:49 |
msb_ | So? | Oct 12 00:50 |
cubexyz | I have to study this on a case by case basis but so far I do not trust AMI | Oct 12 00:53 |
cubexyz | there's been cases of ASUS notebook owners getting locked out of Linux | Oct 12 00:54 |
cubexyz | AMI BIOS | Oct 12 00:55 |
msb_ | Were you able to fix them? | Oct 12 00:55 |
cubexyz | no, these were people I haven't met in person | Oct 12 00:56 |
cubexyz | just telling me about it via email | Oct 12 00:56 |
<--jono has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) | Oct 12 00:56 | |
msb_ | Did they get fixed? | Oct 12 00:56 |
cubexyz | basically what they tell me is that they disabled secure boot and still couldn't load linux on | Oct 12 00:56 |
msb_ | So this was during Linux installation? | Oct 12 00:57 |
cubexyz | yes, I think after quite a long time they did manage to get Kubuntu on | Oct 12 00:59 |
msb_ | What did the problem turn out to be? | Oct 12 00:59 |
cubexyz | something about "launch CSM" | Oct 12 00:59 |
msb_ | That's the compatibility (no secure-boot) module. | Oct 12 01:00 |
msb_ | Was their bios up to date? | Oct 12 01:01 |
cubexyz | I doubt it | Oct 12 01:01 |
msb_ | maybe thi | Oct 12 01:01 |
msb_ | maybe their CSM was half-baked. | Oct 12 01:02 |
msb_ | It might be a comparatively new feature, as AMI realized that there are a lot of Linu | Oct 12 01:03 |
msb_ | Linux users. | Oct 12 01:03 |
msb_ | So that's not a reason to reject AMI. | Oct 12 01:04 |
cubexyz | I'm looking at some AMI code right now | Oct 12 01:12 |
cubexyz | and it's clear it's been designed mainly for Windows 7 | Oct 12 01:12 |
cubexyz | there is much to study here | Oct 12 01:13 |
msb_ | Does Linux ever execute any bios code once it has booted up? | Oct 12 01:14 |
cubexyz | I'll say that modern BIOS can operate at a level which is invisible to the main OS | Oct 12 01:17 |
cubexyz | so basically AMI is writing for Windows first | Oct 12 01:18 |
msb_ | can it do that if it never gets executed after boot. | Oct 12 01:18 |
cubexyz | Linux is an after-thought | Oct 12 01:18 |
cubexyz | I know the Linux folks try to use the BIOS as little as possible since they don't trust it | Oct 12 01:18 |
msb_ | So we're interested in whether there are any nasties built into bios that could operate under Linux. | Oct 12 01:19 |
cubexyz | invisible to Linux I think is the best way to describe it | Oct 12 01:19 |
cubexyz | sometimes that is called ring -1 | Oct 12 01:19 |
cubexyz | I know AMI tests on Redhat | Oct 12 01:21 |
-->jono (~jono@ubuntu/member/jono) has joined #techrights | Oct 12 01:21 | |
cubexyz | the BIOS knows which OS you have | Oct 12 01:21 |
msb_ | First off, one should boot Linux air-gapped -- with the Net physically disconnected. That way any nasties couldn't phone home. So they'd have to know how to mess up any of the many distros from info included in the bios. | Oct 12 01:21 |
cubexyz | well the first place I'm looking is SmmDriverDispatcher.c | Oct 12 01:22 |
cubexyz | some of it is under a BSD license | Oct 12 01:25 |
cubexyz | also there's comments complaining about what the Microsoft compiler does | Oct 12 01:29 |
cubexyz | well probably wireshark or tcpdump would be good enough to see any phone home activity | Oct 12 01:31 |
cubexyz | I guess it wouldn't show everything | Oct 12 01:32 |
cubexyz | if you ran everything for 10 years and never had a problem well then I would say it's fine | Oct 12 01:35 |
cubexyz | but my computers are all non-DASH | Oct 12 01:36 |
cubexyz | it's interesting watching the ARP traffic | Oct 12 01:40 |
<--jono has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) | Oct 12 01:40 | |
cubexyz | if the router becomes unreponsive I'll watch to see if the ARP messages are still happening | Oct 12 01:42 |
msb_ | Ring -1 is for VM execs, right? And since there are open-source VM execs, we should be able to figure out how to detect ring -1 activity. | Oct 12 02:32 |

msb_ | systemd is an enormous godawful mess. No wonder it has 36MB of source code. | Oct 12 18:15 |

cubexyz | Cedar Trail on it's own is 87 megs of files | Oct 12 18:16 |
cubexyz | not the sort of thing your going to be able to study easily | Oct 12 18:16 |
cubexyz | s/your/you're/ | Oct 12 18:16 |
cubexyz | my advice remains the same: | Oct 12 18:17 |
cubexyz | keep one older computer with non-systemd and simpler BIOS (with source code if at all possible) | Oct 12 18:17 |
msb_ | I once programmed for a company that made implantable defibrillators. They had a test setup consisting of six PCs running some kind of object-oriented system to test the defibrillators (which were 6502 based). | Oct 12 18:17 |
cubexyz | did you know that some of the PDP-11 folks consider PCs to be broken? | Oct 12 18:19 |
msb_ | None of them could figure out what the object-oriented realtime system was actually doing. I wrote a simple program to analyze the defibrillator output, which revealed that it was emitting spurious pulses that could cause fibrillation and kill the patient. The company was not going to fix the defib, as they had already written up some 600 pages of test data for the FDA. So they fired me the next week. | Oct 12 18:20 |
cubexyz | as in the design itself is bad | Oct 12 18:20 |
msb_ | cubexyz: "bad" how? With a good OS, PCs work fine. | Oct 12 18:22 |
cubexyz | except they mess up all the time | Oct 12 18:23 |
msb_ | What are you talking about? Mine runs for months with no problems until there's a power failure. | Oct 12 18:24 |
msb_ | You have a dozen of them. Are they messing up all the time? | Oct 12 18:24 |

cubexyz | at the X11 level? surely | Oct 12 18:25 |

msb_ | Anyhow, you changed the subject to BIOS, which is mostly doing one thing at a time if it's doing anything (in Linux). | Oct 12 18:28 |
cubexyz | What I'm saying is that the complexitiy of the PC is such that one person can't understand it | Oct 12 18:28 |
cubexyz | I'm not saying the architecture is broken, this PDP-11 guy is saying that | Oct 12 18:29 |
MinceR | i think there are too many dirty little secrets in all modern computers | Oct 12 18:29 |

cubexyz | if you aren't switching from text console to X11 mode a lot you might not see some of the problems I'm seeing | Oct 12 18:30 |
msb_ | What I'm talking about is this article: http://blog.darknedgy.net/technology/2015/10/11/0/ which reveals systemd to be a super-complex object-oriented real-time abortion enormously bigger than the one I encountered at the defibrillator company, which hid the fact that their product was going to stop people's hearts and kill them. | Oct 12 18:31 |
cubexyz | if I ran a system with no sound card, and no X11 at all then it would be extremely stable | Oct 12 18:31 |

cubexyz | even so I've run X11 for over a year, so it's not bad | Oct 12 18:32 |
MinceR | it reveals the service manager aspect of systemd to be that | Oct 12 18:32 |
MinceR | and on top of that, there's a mandatory broken syslogd replacement | Oct 12 18:32 |
cubexyz | it's just that it fails under certain conditions | Oct 12 18:32 |
MinceR | and a dozen other things | Oct 12 18:32 |
MinceR | or more | Oct 12 18:32 |
MinceR | plus there's the toxic attitude of its backers | Oct 12 18:32 |
MinceR | and the atrocious code quality | Oct 12 18:32 |
cubexyz | systemd isn't Unix philosophy | Oct 12 18:33 |
cubexyz | so I don't use it | Oct 12 18:33 |
cubexyz | PDP11 guy says: | Oct 12 18:33 |
cubexyz | Anyone still recall how the memory layout actually looks like on a PC? Or the ugly architecture that x86 is? Or the strange and silly IRQ and DMA setups you needed to do on cards on the ISA bus, or the dependecies on the BIOS, which in the old days had the geometry of every kind of disk in tables in the BIOS, fixed even... Or the various video cards with incompatible interfaces and peculiarities.. | Oct 12 18:33 |
msb_ | To make systemd into something that could brick Linux computers at government command, probably no code changes would even be needed, just some parameter changes. | Oct 12 18:34 |
cubexyz | you can brick the BIOS for that matter | Oct 12 18:34 |
cubexyz | no systemd needed :) | Oct 12 18:34 |
msb_ | Not remotely, unless via DASH. | Oct 12 18:35 |
cubexyz | there's lots of other problems too, but in the hardware | Oct 12 18:35 |
cubexyz | sure, you can brick the BIOS with DASH | Oct 12 18:35 |
cubexyz | just overwrite it with malicious code | Oct 12 18:36 |
cubexyz | uh, without DASH I mean | Oct 12 18:36 |
cubexyz | it's not likely though | Oct 12 18:36 |
MinceR | CIH bricked the BIOS without DASH :> | Oct 12 18:36 |
cubexyz | right | Oct 12 18:36 |
cubexyz | that's kind of why we have all this secure boot stuff now | Oct 12 18:37 |
cubexyz | it's good and bad at the same time | Oct 12 18:37 |
cubexyz | DASH is good and bad as well | Oct 12 18:38 |
cubexyz | with DASH you could remotely fix problems | Oct 12 18:38 |
cubexyz | and cause them in the first place | Oct 12 18:38 |
cubexyz | if your BIOS has unused space, the bad code can hide in it | Oct 12 18:39 |
cubexyz | I've already mentioned the BMP vulerability | Oct 12 18:40 |
msb_ | cubexyz: PCs evolved with innovation on top of innovation. That's why the architecture is so "ugly" now. But it works great! And what happened to DEC, with its beautifully designed PDP-11 series? They were too expensive, and DEC was sold off to Compaq, HP and Intel. | Oct 12 18:40 |
cubexyz | msb_, right, DEC messed up big time | Oct 12 18:41 |
msb_ | CIH is a windows virus, right? Windows systems are hopelessly insecure. | Oct 12 18:43 |
cubexyz | CIH could KO the BIOS itself, not sure if that could happen with Linux | Oct 12 18:44 |
cubexyz | if the BIOS gets overwritten, all bets are off | Oct 12 18:44 |
cubexyz | personally I can't think of PCs as 'great' | Oct 12 18:46 |
cubexyz | if you repair laptops often enough... you'll see what I mean | Oct 12 18:47 |
cubexyz | damaged GDUs, and other kinds of heat damage | Oct 12 18:47 |
cubexyz | GPU? GPU | Oct 12 18:47 |
MinceR | there are no PDP-11 laptops though, afaik | Oct 12 18:48 |
msb_ | cubexyz: PCs are what we've got. Staying with AMD for the moment, the FX-8350 is an excellent CPU and the ASUS 990FX is an excellent mobo in which secure-boot can easily be turned off. So if the DASH vulnerability can be fixed, or doesn't even exist with the 8350, that combination provides a superb high-speed computer suitable for everyone. | Oct 12 18:48 |
msb_ | High-speed _and_ secure. | Oct 12 18:49 |
cubexyz | no, no PDP-11 laptops, microPDP in a small case is the best you can do | Oct 12 18:49 |
cubexyz | except you have tons of binary blobs, and no clue what they do | Oct 12 18:49 |
cubexyz | that's the problem with modern PCs | Oct 12 18:50 |
msb_ | Well, we now have the C and assembly source code to modern AMI BIOS, so you can see what the blobs made from that will do. I predict it's nothing malicious. | Oct 12 18:52 |

cubexyz | I just grepped the whole thing for 2012 and zero matches | Oct 12 18:56 |
cubexyz | well hold on, I don't think I've looked at Sandy Bridge yet | Oct 12 18:57 |
cubexyz | no matches in Cedar Trail I should say | Oct 12 18:57 |
cubexyz | it's huge | Oct 12 18:58 |
cubexyz | no matches in Sandy Bridge either | Oct 12 18:59 |
cubexyz | ok, Ivy Bridge does have files with 2012 in them | Oct 12 19:01 |
cubexyz | I think the leak was announced in 2013 | Oct 12 19:01 |
cubexyz | lots of good info though, it will be years before one can digest all this | Oct 12 19:09 |
cubexyz | you can see in Luna Pier's History.txt that testing was done on Windows XP | Oct 12 19:10 |
cubexyz | one can see my point AMI tests mainly for Windows | Oct 12 19:12 |
<--XRevan86 (~XRevan86@meowr.ru) has left #techrights | Oct 12 19:13 | |
cubexyz | the proof is voluminous | Oct 12 19:13 |
cubexyz | and we say that win95 is bad but... | Oct 12 19:14 |
cubexyz | and it was terrible... | Oct 12 19:14 |
cubexyz | but to suggest that windows 10 is fine and everything's A-OK would be crazy | Oct 12 19:15 |
cubexyz | to me, this code just reaffirms that Microsoft has their hooks into everything | Oct 12 19:17 |
cubexyz | I predicted the Microsoft only computer would happen | Oct 12 19:17 |
cubexyz | computers will become balkanized | Oct 12 19:18 |
cubexyz | Google computer, Apple computer, Microsoft computer | Oct 12 19:18 |
cubexyz | on the fringe we'll have Amiga, Vax, PDP-11, etc | Oct 12 19:19 |
cubexyz | read that Arstechnica article... | Oct 12 19:21 |
msb_ | Yeah, and Putin is going to blow the tits off the Earth. | Oct 12 19:21 |
msb_ | The Ars article reminds me of this deliciously scary movie about an alien lifeform that comes to Earth via a radio signal: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138304/combined | Oct 12 19:22 |

cubexyz | Ruiu did sound a bit paranoid | Oct 12 19:23 |
cubexyz | but he had a major problem, no doubt about that | Oct 12 19:23 |
msb_ | Do Windows machines instantly execute any program they find on a USB stick? Do Linux machines? | Oct 12 19:24 |
cubexyz | ha | Oct 12 19:24 |
cubexyz | good question | Oct 12 19:24 |
cubexyz | pretty sure Linux doesn't | Oct 12 19:24 |
cubexyz | but remember CDs with autostart? | Oct 12 19:25 |
msb_ | Windows certainly used to execute any exe file it got in an e-mail. Fun and games there! | Oct 12 19:25 |
cubexyz | windows had autorun on CDs for sure | Oct 12 19:25 |
msb_ | Even the most devilish virus is harmless as long as it remains just data and doesn't get executed. | Oct 12 19:26 |
cubexyz | I had a customer ask me for a computer without USB | Oct 12 19:27 |
cubexyz | you can disconnect the ribbon cable :) | Oct 12 19:28 |
cubexyz | one scenario... hacker leaves a usb stick by your computer | Oct 12 19:29 |
cubexyz | curious user plugs it in to see what's on it | Oct 12 19:29 |
msb_ | There's another great movie, "Virus", with Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Sutherland: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120458/combined | Oct 12 19:30 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.imdb.com | Virus (1999) [ http://ur1.ca/nzvfo ] | Oct 12 19:30 | |
msb_ | A virus comes to earth and begins building robot bodies for itself, some incorporating human parts! | Oct 12 19:31 |
cubexyz | 1999 was a rather pessimistic year it seems | Oct 12 19:31 |
cubexyz | Y2K! Grocery stores will be empty! Planes will fall out of the sky! | Oct 12 19:31 |
msb_ | Then there was this one, about an electrical virus traveling through the power lines: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095924/combined | Oct 12 19:33 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.imdb.com | Pulse (1988) [ http://ur1.ca/nzvh9 ] | Oct 12 19:33 | |

msb_ | "Paranoia is just another word for heightened awareness." | Oct 12 19:35 |
cubexyz | high frequency transmissions passed between computer speakers and microphones? | Oct 12 19:36 |
cubexyz | that's movie material right there :) | Oct 12 19:37 |
msb_ | "It don't just crawl in on your wires. It ain't a *thing*. It's a *signal*. A *pulse*. Kinda like a *voice*. So what you've got to do is to get rid of anything in your house that might have ears to hear it. " | Oct 12 19:37 |
MinceR | 012116 < msb_> Yeah, and Putin is going to blow the tits off the Earth. | Oct 12 19:41 |
MinceR | and unless the usian missile defense works out, he'll nuke you too | Oct 12 19:41 |
msb_ | Oops, I triggered PARRY. | Oct 12 19:44 |
MinceR | oops, i triggered the kremlin's troll army | Oct 12 19:44 |
msb_ | Too bad for you that Putin is doing such a great job saving Syria from ISIL and Al-Nusrah. The syrians are very grateful. | Oct 12 19:46 |
msb_ | ISIL and Al-Nusrah (Al-Qaeda) are armed by the US, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. | Oct 12 19:49 |
msb_ | Head choppers and clit cutters. | Oct 12 19:49 |
MinceR | i'm sure it will ease your pains when dying of radiation sickness and/or starving to death in nuclear winter triggered by putin | Oct 12 19:49 |
msb_ | All so that Israel can dominate the Middle East. | Oct 12 19:49 |
MinceR | putin is a religious fundamentalist all the same | Oct 12 19:49 |
cubexyz | it's unlikely anyone will get nuked | Oct 12 20:07 |
cubexyz | MAD still holds, and people aren't that crazy | Oct 12 20:07 |
cubexyz | The US could have used nukes in Vietnam for example | Oct 12 20:10 |
cubexyz | China has a NFU (No first Use) policy | Oct 12 20:12 |
cubexyz | Russia's policy is it reserves the right to use nuclear weapons "in response to a large-scale conventional agression" | Oct 12 20:14 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | No first use - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [ http://ur1.ca/nzvwz ] | Oct 12 20:14 | |
MinceR | MAD won't deter people who believe only the afterlife matters, or people as desperate as putin | Oct 12 20:15 |
MinceR | see, even that policy is more trigger-happy than the policies of other countries | Oct 12 20:17 |
MinceR | or the policies of the first cold war | Oct 12 20:17 |
msb_ | MinceR is a depressed paranoid schizophrenic who refuses to get any help. | Oct 12 20:18 |
MinceR | msb_ is a fascist who refuses to stop pushing putin's propaganda. | Oct 12 20:19 |
msb_ | MinceR says that almost all people are worthless, and want to be enslaved and killed. | Oct 12 20:20 |
MinceR | msb_ wants us all to be enslaved and/or killed by putin | Oct 12 20:20 |
MinceR | msb_ supports the destruction of human rights and freedoms while claiming he doesn't support that. | Oct 12 20:21 |
<--jono has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) | Oct 12 20:21 | |
msb_ | MinceR is unable to provide quotes from me supporting _any_ of the lies he tells about me. He comes up with lame excuses for not posting such quotes. | Oct 12 20:23 |
cubexyz | Ruiu is saying that once he removed the internal speaker and microphone that the bad packets stopped transmitting, curious stuff | Oct 12 20:23 |
MinceR | msb_ likes to pretend that evidence that was presented (often more than once) doesn't exist | Oct 12 20:24 |
msb_ | But that was after the machines had been infected from USB sticks. | Oct 12 20:24 |
MinceR | msb_ also can't tell the difference between data and noise | Oct 12 20:24 |
cubexyz | he's saying infected machines are talking to each other via ultrasound | Oct 12 20:26 |
cubexyz | and he's saying it infected his BSD machine, not just his windows boxes | Oct 12 20:28 |
msb_ | But only to repair changes he made to the viral code. | Oct 12 20:29 |

msb_ | Any OS that launches an executable it finds on a usb stick would be vulnerable. | Oct 12 20:30 |
cubexyz | yeah if it's DASH related... then no knows | Oct 12 20:30 |
cubexyz | but he says the machine was air gapped, so it's very odd | Oct 12 20:31 |
msb_ | It infected Macs -- no DASH. | Oct 12 20:31 |
cubexyz | you're certain Macs don't have DASH? | Oct 12 20:31 |
cubexyz | these problems seem very modern to me | Oct 12 20:33 |
cubexyz | mystery fonts on windows 8, well if he keeps using windows 8 then no wonder | Oct 12 20:34 |
msb_ | windows anything. ttf fonts are executable!!! | Oct 12 20:35 |
cubexyz | ttf files get previewed by windows, yes :) | Oct 12 20:35 |
cubexyz | Dragos should have one or two older computers | Oct 12 20:36 |
cubexyz | and yes, stop using windows | Oct 12 20:36 |
MinceR | winblows puts executable stubs with PE headers on everything | Oct 12 20:37 |
MinceR | it's like they _want_ everything to be able to carry malware | Oct 12 20:37 |
cubexyz | but if someone is reprogramming the USB controller, you are screwed right there | Oct 12 20:37 |
msb_ | I thought DASH was only in AMD CPUs, but it's part of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Management_Task_Force | Oct 12 20:38 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Distributed Management Task Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [ http://ur1.ca/nzw8l ] | Oct 12 20:38 | |
cubexyz | no, Intel Vpro has a subset of DASH | Oct 12 20:38 |
MinceR | i think that's vPro :> | Oct 12 20:38 |
cubexyz | think about that for a second... reprogramming the USB Controller | Oct 12 20:39 |
cubexyz | USB keyboard? keyloggers? | Oct 12 20:39 |
cubexyz | Intel vPro, right | Oct 12 20:40 |
cubexyz | I know I don't want it | Oct 12 20:40 |
msb_ | I guess badbios wasn't designed to spread via the Net or it would be everywhere. | Oct 12 20:41 |
cubexyz | how did he get it in the first place? | Oct 12 20:44 |
cubexyz | unless it's all a hoax | Oct 12 20:44 |

msb_ | maybe somebody dropped a usb stick in his bag at a security convention | Oct 12 20:48 |
cubexyz | possible | Oct 12 20:48 |
cubexyz | I learned today that ARP tries to talk to 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 | Oct 12 20:51 |
cubexyz | I just started watching the ARP stuff yesterday | Oct 12 20:51 |
msb_ | That's your cable or dsl node identifying all the leaf nodes, including yours. | Oct 12 20:54 |
msb_ | My router filters that out. It was annoying. | Oct 12 20:55 |
msb_ | ARP means Alien Repersonalization Pulse. MinceR was hit by one, and look at him now. | Oct 12 21:05 |
MinceR | no, i'm being hit by personal attacks | Oct 12 21:06 |
MinceR | something msb_ used to complain about | Oct 12 21:06 |
msb_ | cubexyz: I think when your system sees an ARP packet with its ip-address, it responds with a packet containing its MAC address. So the upstream node knows which customer is on which ip-address. | Oct 12 21:08 |
msb_ | But that's just from memory. | Oct 12 21:08 |
cubexyz | msb_, how do you know the ARP requests are coming from the ISP and not the router? | Oct 12 21:15 |
msb_ | Interesting stuff here: https://www.reddit.com/r/badBIOS/ | Oct 12 21:17 |

msb_ | I was seeing the ARP packets on my computer with xnetload and ethereal _before_ I installed the router. | Oct 12 21:18 |
msb_ | Suits me! | Oct 12 21:19 |
msb_ | The router blocked them. | Oct 12 21:19 |
msb_ | Now I see only incoming and outgoing packets from my software on my graphic net indicators. | Oct 12 21:20 |
msb_ | Before it was full of ARP hair that obscured them. | Oct 12 21:21 |
cubexyz | your router has an option to block ARP messages? | Oct 12 21:29 |
cubexyz | I don't think my router can do that | Oct 12 21:29 |
cubexyz | wow, the Reddit folks are saying there's a hidden gizmo in the cmos battery | Oct 12 21:34 |

msb_ | Look thru the advanced settings in your router menu. | Oct 12 21:59 |
cubexyz | there's nothing about ARP | Oct 12 22:02 |
msb_ | I wish I could block AARP from my snail-mail! | Oct 12 22:03 |
msb_ | I'll look in my router. | Oct 12 22:04 |
cubexyz | I'm not that worried about my ISP | Oct 12 22:06 |
cubexyz | it's community based | Oct 12 22:06 |

msb_ | MinceR: You have spewed out yet another lying personal attack. "<MinceR> and yet you came out in support of global internet censorship in the service of political correctness" Please quote a statement from me to justify your lie. | Oct 13 13:53 |
MinceR | 164837 < msb_> The men say that freedom of speech entitles game creators to make games that victimize women, and entitles game players to play and enjoy them. | Oct 13 13:54 |
MinceR | 165029 < msb_> The problem is, that humans are programmable by speech and video, and they can be programmed into psychopath behaviors like rape, torture, and murder. | Oct 13 13:54 |
MinceR | Some speech has consequences -- yelling "fire" in a crowded theater -- so freedom of speech requires some limitations. | Oct 13 13:54 |
MinceR | i know you will ignore this, and i will not quote it again. | Oct 13 13:54 |
msb_ | I went on to say that game creators and game reviewers should self-limit their creation and approval of games that victimize women. I did not in any way "come out in support of global internet censorship in the service of political correctness", as you lied that I did. | Oct 13 13:57 |
MinceR | the context was the UN plotting global censorship on behalf of the SJWs | Oct 13 13:58 |
msb_ | Which is totally different from people _self-limiting speech_ that encourages attacks on women. | Oct 13 13:59 |
MinceR | right, chilling effects, self-censorship and "socially acceptable" bullying are A-OK | Oct 13 14:01 |
msb_ | There is also the principle that the remedy for evil speech is more speech condemning it. In this case, feminists should publicly shame those who create and approve of games that encourage the victimization of women. | Oct 13 14:02 |
MinceR | that's better, yes | Oct 13 14:02 |
MinceR | but that's not where the UN and the SJWs are going | Oct 13 14:02 |
msb_ | Only governments can create "chilling effects". And public disaproval and shaming of those who encourage rape, torture and murder of women is _not_ "bullying". | Oct 13 14:03 |
msb_ | While encouragement of rape, torture and murder of women _is_ bullying. | Oct 13 14:04 |

---papa is now known as Guest7679 | Oct 13 14:12 | |
MinceR | ah, so we should ask msb_ which video games we're allowed to play | Oct 13 14:13 |
msb_ | Lie #4: "campaigning to place women into a superior social position to men" Nobody does that. Feminists/SJW say that men should not attack women. | Oct 13 14:13 |
MinceR | that's totally not fascist | Oct 13 14:13 |
MinceR | apparently they also say that women should attack men | Oct 13 14:14 |
msb_ | Lie #5 "ah, so we should ask msb_ which video games we're allowed to play" I never said that people should not be allowed to play video games that victimize women. I said they should be criticized and shamed if they do. | Oct 13 14:16 |
MinceR | they should be bullied, fired from their jobs and jailed, but not disallowed. got it. | Oct 13 14:16 |
msb_ | Lie #6 "they should be bullied, fired from their jobs and jailed, but not disallowed. got it." If a person tells others that he enjoys simulated rape, torture and murder of women, then people should try to discourage him (non-violently), as that may save women's lives. If an employee publicly admits such enjoyment, his employer may reasonably fire him to protect the women in the workplace. Only government can jail people. | Oct 13 14:25 |
msb_ | Discouragement and firing are not "disallowing" the sadist from playing the games, but are making him face the reasonable consequences of publicly advocating rape, torture and murder. | Oct 13 14:25 |

msb_ | schestowitz: "I am just a tad worried that we might have a COntrol Risks/EPO mole among us in IRC for real-time surveillance" Isn't this channel publicly accessible? How can there be a mole? | Oct 13 18:27 |
msb_ | If I may counter the doom-and-gloom, Devuan Linux is already being used in alpha state, including by a person here. Once it's declared fully ready, concerns about "systemd, garrettux and debian 8" will go away. And for people who want to buy a new desktop, I've found an excellent cheap fast AMD 8-core CPU FX-8350 and a superb mobo in which UEFI/secure-boot can easily be turned off. I should soon receive info from AMD that will | Oct 13 18:46 |
msb_ | prevent intrusions using the DASH system with a $50 SBC custom open-source router (if the FX-8350 even _has_ the DASH system). So with the help of cubexyz and others, we'll have a secure Linux and a secure platform to run it on. Life is good! | Oct 13 18:46 |
MinceR | they won't go away | Oct 13 18:47 |
MinceR | it will be an ongoing battle | Oct 13 18:47 |
MinceR | especially once Linus loses control of Linux somehow | Oct 13 18:48 |
msb_ | If he does, the current state of the kernel can simply be saved and used into the future. As to systemd, etc, there are always lousy alternatives, like windows. But all that's needed is one _good_ alternative, like Devuan, and smart people can make the good choice, and others will follow. | Oct 13 18:50 |
MinceR | consider how microsoft kept (and still keeps) trying to keep their competition off the market | Oct 13 18:50 |
MinceR | redcrap is already employing similar tactics | Oct 13 18:50 |
msb_ | One can always find a dire negative possibility in anything and everything. If one focusses on that, one will be miserable and frightened. But if one focusses on the positive possibilities, and how to make them work, then life is a beautiful happy adventure. It's up to you! | Oct 13 18:53 |
MinceR | “It’s not safe to hope for the best without preparing for the worst.” | Oct 13 18:53 |
MinceR | we can't win the fight against lendows if we deny that the fight is happening | Oct 13 18:54 |
msb_ | Of course you don't deny it. You present the good alternative and explain the differences. And expose the evil tactics of RedHat, etc. | Oct 13 18:55 |
MinceR | you also need to deal with lock-in injected into applications you use | Oct 13 18:57 |
msb_ | You have to prepare for the best, not just hope for it. | Oct 13 18:57 |
MinceR | and of course there are and will be attacks on the free software we use | Oct 13 18:57 |
MinceR | in part to try and prop up lendows | Oct 13 18:57 |
msb_ | If you mean apps dependent on systemd, presumably Devuan is patching or shimming those. | Oct 13 18:58 |
MinceR | hopefully | Oct 13 18:58 |
MinceR | funtoo's doing that too | Oct 13 18:58 |
MinceR | but the opposition will increase | Oct 13 18:58 |
MinceR | look at the dirty tricks m$ has done over the years. expect redcrap to bring out all of those and some new ones too. | Oct 13 18:59 |
msb_ | Basically Free Software _can't_ be successfully attacked! Because it's free and infinitely accessible all over the Earth. It _can't_ be suppressed! | Oct 13 18:59 |
<--jono has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) | Oct 13 19:00 | |
MinceR | debian has already been taken away from us | Oct 13 19:00 |
msb_ | Devuan takes all that's good in Debian and fixes the rest. | Oct 13 19:01 |
cubexyz | my advice is to get a non-DASH motherboard | Oct 13 19:02 |
cubexyz | for starters | Oct 13 19:02 |
msb_ | As to "the dirty tricks m$ has done over the years", what has it gotten them? With windows 10 their company is going down the drain, severely criticized everywhere. While Linux is thriving, and as soon as Devuan is ready, Linux will be purified. | Oct 13 19:03 |
MinceR | it has gotten them Restricted Boot | Oct 13 19:04 |
MinceR | and the anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws aren't enforced | Oct 13 19:04 |
MinceR | we're being locked out of our own computers | Oct 13 19:04 |
MinceR | that's what it has gotten them | Oct 13 19:04 |
msb_ | cubexyz: We don't know at this point whether DASH can be enabled without BIOS support. | Oct 13 19:04 |
msb_ | MinceR: But the _actual fact_ is that Linux isn't locked out of _any_ computers. | Oct 13 19:05 |
cubexyz | msb_, I wouldn't say that | Oct 13 19:05 |
cubexyz | Linux is locked out on Windows ARM computers | Oct 13 19:06 |
cubexyz | some folks are having problems disabling secure boot | Oct 13 19:06 |
msb_ | Yes, we talked about that and you said their bios was not up to date. | Oct 13 19:07 |
cubexyz | that's part of it | Oct 13 19:07 |
cubexyz | do you think Linux is going to be easily loadable on that new Microsoft Laptop? | Oct 13 19:07 |
cubexyz | it's dubious at best | Oct 13 19:07 |
msb_ | brb You guys can piss and moan among yourselves. | Oct 13 19:07 |
msb_ | So never buy anything from microshit. Doctor, it hurts when I go like this. So don't go like that! | Oct 13 19:08 |
cubexyz | you still need to be aware of the situation | Oct 13 19:09 |
cubexyz | people need to know what to avoid | Oct 13 19:09 |
msb_ | Yep, and its up to us to tell them. We are the heroes we've been waiting for! | Oct 13 19:09 |
cubexyz | we don't really know what the exactly situation is for surface books | Oct 13 19:10 |
cubexyz | eventually hackers will find a way though | Oct 13 19:10 |
cubexyz | how difficult it will be, that's the question | Oct 13 19:10 |
msb_ | So, there's one kind of new computer that people should avoid. Big Deal. | Oct 13 19:11 |
cubexyz | if someone asks me if they can run Linux on surface book, I don't have an answer | Oct 13 19:11 |
msb_ | Yes you do. Tell them to buy something else instead. | Oct 13 19:12 |
MinceR | afaik winblows x86 tablets tend to have a broken 32bit uefi implementation that tends to make it an even greater pain in the ass to run linux on them | Oct 13 19:12 |
cubexyz | I say buy MSI, Gigabyte or Chromebooks | Oct 13 19:13 |
cubexyz | maybe Tyan, still researching that | Oct 13 19:13 |
msb_ | ASUS is good too. | Oct 13 19:13 |
MinceR | also, the reason m$ didn't completely kill gnu/linux is that we the people opposed them | Oct 13 19:14 |
cubexyz | I managed to get some good search done on Award BIOS last night, made some good progress | Oct 13 19:15 |
MinceR | for the same reason, we'll need to oppose redcrap as well | Oct 13 19:15 |
cubexyz | s/search/research/ | Oct 13 19:15 |
msb_ | Make sure that when you make a recommendation, you clearly and fully tell them how fast it runs. Many people want a fast computer, and if you send those toward a slow one they will be very pissed and will hate Linux. | Oct 13 19:16 |
cubexyz | for distros I'm going Q4OS, OpenBSD, AntiX, etc | Oct 13 19:16 |
cubexyz | you can get an i7 chromebook if you want | Oct 13 19:17 |
msb_ | We need a non-systemd distro that has a large staff so it can keep up with the latest apps, which people want. | Oct 13 19:17 |
cubexyz | personally I think it's too expensive, but some folks got money so... | Oct 13 19:17 |
msb_ | Many folks have limited money. | Oct 13 19:17 |
msb_ | brb | Oct 13 19:17 |
cubexyz | chromebooks have a sub-$300 option | Oct 13 19:18 |
cubexyz | it's affordable | Oct 13 19:18 |
cubexyz | there's no DASH | Oct 13 19:18 |
cubexyz | coreboot firmware | Oct 13 19:18 |
cubexyz | I have customers I never thought in a million years would use Linux, but they seem to like chromebooks | Oct 13 19:19 |
cubexyz | that's a huge shift in thinking | Oct 13 19:19 |

MinceR | we seem to have lost a lot of staff to cancerd | Oct 13 19:21 |

cubexyz | BIOS | Oct 13 19:23 |
cubexyz | Operating System | Oct 13 19:24 |

cubexyz | I'm still learning stuff about my Tyan motherboard from 1998 | Oct 13 19:25 |
cubexyz | I thought msb_ would like Q4OS since it comes with trinity repos | Oct 13 19:28 |
cubexyz | seems a decent choice | Oct 13 19:28 |
cubexyz | but not for very old hardware (14 years or more) | Oct 13 19:28 |
cubexyz | assuming you have a P4 or faster, it's OK | Oct 13 19:29 |
cubexyz | on the BSD side, OpenBSD or PC-BSD | Oct 13 19:30 |
MinceR | no netbsd? | Oct 13 19:30 |
cubexyz | not sure what the status is for netbsd to be honest | Oct 13 19:32 |
cubexyz | The advantage of NetBSD used to be that it ran on everything | Oct 13 19:32 |
MinceR | afaik its advantages also include virtualization, LKM support and no consorting with launchd and similar garbage | Oct 13 19:33 |
cubexyz | it's not the leanest distro out there, but if you have 24 megs of ram or more it's OK | Oct 13 19:35 |
cubexyz | OpenBSD focuses more on security, NetBSD focuses more on portability | Oct 13 19:37 |

cubexyz | do I recommend people running Linux and BSD, depending on the situation? Definitely | Oct 13 19:38 |
cubexyz | for non-x86 NetBSD is probably the best choice | Oct 13 19:41 |
MinceR | afaik linux still runs on more architectures than netbsd | Oct 13 19:42 |
MinceR | but if redcrap has their way, this will change | Oct 13 19:42 |
cubexyz | PC-BSD is strictly x86-64 | Oct 13 19:42 |
cubexyz | didn't redhat already drop a bunch of architectures? | Oct 13 19:44 |
MinceR | dunno, debian started dropping stuff left and right ever since they decided they'll force systemd on their users | Oct 13 19:45 |

cubexyz | the official word from Linus on BIOS: | Oct 14 18:03 |
cubexyz | - the BIOS is written mostly in assembly - the BIOS is tested exclusively with DOS and Windows - most BIOS writers appear to simply be incompetent, or just not care. | Oct 14 18:03 |
cubexyz | so yes, Linux tries very hard to avoid BIOS calls | Oct 14 18:03 |
cubexyz | but Linux does not avoid BIOS calls all together | Oct 14 18:04 |
cubexyz | some are still used | Oct 14 18:04 |

cubexyz | the bad outweights the good I'd say | Oct 14 23:19 |
cubexyz | it's like when major power plants started adding remote access to control panels | Oct 14 23:19 |

msb_ | I think that very few people are 1. aware of the murderous psychopathy of the US government and its motivation to kill Net communication and 2. knowledgeable about methods it could do that like AMT and DASH. | Oct 14 23:27 |
cubexyz | actually there was a WNED show about the NSA and stuxnet on TV tonight | Oct 14 23:28 |
msb_ | Good, but people think things like stuxnet would never apply to them. | Oct 14 23:28 |
cubexyz | but mostly it was presented in way that made NSA look like the good guys | Oct 14 23:28 |
cubexyz | even had a Snowden interview about 'cyberwar' | Oct 14 23:29 |

cubexyz | lots of scary potential | Oct 14 23:39 |
<--jono has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) | Oct 14 23:42 | |
msb_ | Very few computer-savvy people are capable of understanding that the US govt destr0yed Afgh. Iraq, Libya, half of Syria, installed a Nazi govt in Ukraine, and murdered 2,000,000 people, all since 2001. Their eyes just glaze over and they change the subject. It's like they're under a post-hypnotic suggestion. They _can't_ think about it. | Oct 14 23:45 |
msb_ | Anyhow that pdf on DASH is gold! The xml schemas toward the end even seem to have a port number. Maybe filtering out packets with that port# would do it! | Oct 14 23:47 |
msb_ | Thanks! | Oct 14 23:47 |
msb_ | It's gonna take me a while to study it though. Just the fact that it's all about windows programs makes me want to puke. | Oct 14 23:54 |
cubexyz | Linus himself has remarked that BIOS development is windows-centric to a large degree | Oct 14 23:55 |

cubexyz | I think Dragos was talking about that | Oct 15 00:11 |
cubexyz | the other thing I didn't like was the region code thing... you could change it half a dozen times then it gets locked | Oct 15 00:12 |
msb_ | I guess once bad hackers get in (and the govt are the worst) they can change anything changeable. | Oct 15 00:13 |
msb_ | A typical scenario the US govt could do, following from their actions in Ukraine and Syria, is to blow off a nuke somewhere in the US and say that Russia did it, and then kill the Internet and all computers so that researchers and honest news sources couldn't talk about it. | Oct 15 00:17 |

cubexyz | I even know people who have paid the ransom | Oct 15 00:17 |

msb_ | The govt controls the top-level domain servers. Remember, they killed that guy who tried to stop it. | Oct 15 00:18 |
msb_ | Then they could kill every computer they could via AMT and DASH. And of course the microshit botnet. | Oct 15 00:19 |

msb_ | Yeah, fascist political complications. | Oct 15 00:29 |
cubexyz | doesn't seem to be much info about it | Oct 15 00:29 |
msb_ | Don't worry, it was just a coincidence, nothing to see here, move on. | Oct 15 00:29 |
msb_ | Somebody just walked past him, sprayed an aerosol in his face, and kept walking. That's all it would take. | Oct 15 00:30 |
cubexyz | ok, he actually died on the operating table, I wasn't sure about that | Oct 15 00:30 |
cubexyz | did you know that Postel was opposed by NSI? | Oct 15 00:31 |
msb_ | The poison would have given him the heart problem to start with. | Oct 15 00:31 |
cubexyz | and the NSI were well connected with washington defense contractors? | Oct 15 00:31 |

cubexyz | it definitely sounded like a bork-up of the public trust | Oct 15 00:38 |
msb_ | "Public trust" is a total charade. Americans are given just enough to enable them to survive (mostly), but without spare time or money to investigage and organize. The Internet is changing that, but you can see all the malware and propaganda that are being used to prevent people from using it. | Oct 15 00:42 |
msb_ | Talk about rt.com or globalresearch.ca, even here, and blammo! | Oct 15 00:43 |
msb_ | The power of the Bernays method is enormous. Not just "what you tell me three times is true", but what you tell me 3,000 times is absolute fact that can never be questioned. | Oct 15 00:45 |
msb_ | The monsters have defense in depth. | Oct 15 00:45 |
msb_ | I don't know how we've survived this long. It's as if there is some invisible force opposing and limiting them. | Oct 15 00:47 |

schestowitz | we once thought about taking techrights.ca | Oct 16 03:33 |
schestowitz | but what purpose for? | Oct 16 03:33 |
schestowitz | At the time, domains were up for the picking by censors | Oct 16 03:33 |
schestowitz | and a CA suffix was seen as safer | Oct 16 03:33 |
schestowitz | .org and .com are US | Oct 16 03:33 |
cubexyz | ah I see | Oct 16 03:33 |
schestowitz | and the US has more power over them, legally | Oct 16 03:33 |
schestowitz | Harper doesn't seem any safer | Oct 16 03:33 |
schestowitz | nor Tories | Oct 16 03:34 |
schestowitz | Tories... | Oct 16 03:34 |
schestowitz | Cameron | Oct 16 03:34 |
schestowitz | so co.uk not much safer, either | Oct 16 03:34 |
schestowitz | at least .org makes it clear it's not some business | Oct 16 03:34 |
cubexyz | a business can have org if it wants | Oct 16 03:34 |
cubexyz | I think they dropped that a while ago | Oct 16 03:34 |
schestowitz | yeah, but what for? | Oct 16 03:34 |
schestowitz | like vanity plates | Oct 16 03:35 |
cubexyz | different nameservers, could be safer | Oct 16 03:35 |
cubexyz | if one nameserver stops working, your other domain is probably still OK | Oct 16 03:35 |
cubexyz | ok, cubeman.tk is working :) | Oct 16 03:36 |
cubexyz | it appears that tk uses nameservers based in the Netherlands | Oct 16 03:37 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz It's an age old stigma....but agree the Troll hysteria impacted. I support vast majority of misunderstood NPE activity 1/2 | Oct 16 07:35 | |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz Have you noticed who are throwing brickbats at lawyers acting for NPES? Some NPEs were once SMEs with potential until they died | Oct 16 07:35 | |
schestowitz | Not the big NPEs which I know of | Oct 16 07:35 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz The ones who have been fed by the PAEs who now complain about NPEs? Hypocrisy does not even come close. It's a broad church 1/2 | Oct 16 07:41 | |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz But for many reasons I am pro NPE but very anti bottom feeding Troll. Problem is there are 101 agendas in what should be simple | Oct 16 07:41 | |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz All the same yet so different. The biggest "Patent Troll" is now a University apparently. Don't you see how pointless this is? | Oct 16 07:41 | |
schestowitz | I am against transfers of patents (sales). They shouldn't be viewed as tangible or property. | Oct 16 07:42 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz It's a debate about global weather from a town perspective. Largely pointless and futile. There will always be differences. | Oct 16 07:43 | |
schestowitz | https://twitter.com/TangibleIP_/status/654985868588003328 | Oct 16 07:44 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz We should not react to the external forces but simply focus on core values and get back to basics on purpose of patent system. | Oct 16 07:44 | |
schestowitz | Clearly, as we both appear to agree, the EPO got things wrong, in numerous ways, except mistreatment of staff | Oct 16 07:44 |
schestowitz | https://twitter.com/TangibleIP_/status/654986405848985600 | Oct 16 07:45 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz 180 degrees. The No 1 issue is liquidity of IP and reward for creation. If have no right to transfer/ability to use why bother? | Oct 16 07:45 | |
schestowitz | Can assert is for defensive purposes while still having the potential to bring value to market, not just destroy | Oct 16 07:46 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz From this perspective individual creativity and reward is dead ergo no innovation. Plays into hands of status quo | Oct 16 07:46 | |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz This is key not all creation and innovation sits in same box. U2 did not file patents to protect The Joshua Tree. | Oct 16 08:14 | |
schestowitz | Depends on domains too. Patents, copyright , TM separate. Same situation/breakdown for different domains, e.g. software | Oct 16 08:15 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz They did not have too. How do you secure reward for a cure for cancer? | Oct 16 08:16 | |
schestowitz | I am against software patents (primarily), I am not against patents as a whole | Oct 16 08:16 |
schestowitz | https://twitter.com/TangibleIP_/status/654994967790755840 | Oct 16 08:23 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz I have concerns about software patents.......but also inability of system to effectively reward software innovation. Difficult. | Oct 16 08:23 | |
schestowitz | Copyrights do this, and they're cheap ($0) | Oct 16 08:24 |
schestowitz | The notion of "software innovation" often thrown around by people who never wrote a computer program. No breakthroughs, math. | Oct 16 08:25 |

cubexyz | no, if you use a browser that can't use SSL you get nothing at all | Oct 17 23:52 |
msb_ | Wow, that's right. I thought it was because I was using HTTPS Everywhere, but I just tried it with lynx and it switched from http to https. Why should it do that? | Oct 17 23:59 |

msb_ | cubexyz: "hardly anyone seems to be able to function on a computer without windows, it's sad" That's not the problem. People (except you) want _fast_ computers so they can watch highly-compressed videos, and do video editing and play action games. These activities, and others like fast compiles, fast switching between virtual desktops, and good speed with interpreted languages like Ruby, REQUIRE A FAST COMPUTER, whether it's running | Oct 11 01:01 |
msb_ | Linux or Windows. | Oct 11 01:01 |
msb_ | cubexyz: People also want large displays, which are easier on the eyes, and more entertaining when watching movies, and more functional when editing text or source code because you can view two or three documents on the screen side by side at the same time. Big screens with lots of pixels require a FAST COMPUTER to calculate all those pixels when watching a highly-compressed video or playing an action game. | Oct 11 01:08 |
cubexyz | msb_, you're so fixated on watching videos | Oct 11 01:09 |
cubexyz | I almost never bother doing that | Oct 11 01:09 |
*pidgin_log has quit (Quit: Leaving.) | Oct 11 01:09 | |
cubexyz | I can assure you there's lots of people who don't use their computers to edit video | Oct 11 01:10 |
cubexyz | they do online banking, write emails, some people program | Oct 11 01:10 |
cubexyz | I watched all the stuff you sent me (most of it at least) on my P3 | Oct 11 01:11 |
msb_ | cubexyz: "fixated" "bother" are propaganda words the way you're using them here. The vast majority of people enjoy watching movies and other videos like ones about drug companies, political goings-on, etc. | Oct 11 01:11 |
cubexyz | you are fixated :) | Oct 11 01:12 |
cubexyz | you endless blather on about it | Oct 11 01:12 |
cubexyz | I had far older computers that could watch CDI's on | Oct 11 01:13 |
cubexyz | I think Tivos had a 486 class CPU | Oct 11 01:13 |
cubexyz | but with special video chips | Oct 11 01:13 |
cubexyz | I think people waste a lot of time watching youtube and TV | Oct 11 01:14 |
cubexyz | what is that quote... "poor people have big TVs and rich peopel have big libraries" | Oct 11 01:14 |
msb_ | Most people probably don't edit videos. But _many_ play action computer games. And _most_ watch movies and other videos, and they like big displays with lots of sharp detail. | Oct 11 01:15 |
cubexyz | well I haven't seen an statistics so any comment on my part would be just speculation | Oct 11 01:16 |
cubexyz | s/an/any/ | Oct 11 01:16 |
cubexyz | I don't play games much | Oct 11 01:17 |
msb_ | cubexyz: "fixated" "blather" "I think people waste a lot of time watching youtube and TV" You think everyone should be like you and have your likes and dislikes. Well, they aren't, and it's not going to happen. | Oct 11 01:18 |
cubexyz | TV is a utter waste of time | Oct 11 01:18 |

msb_ | "I don't play games much" What is the purpose of our discussion here? To find good computer solutions for YOU, or to find them for EVERYONE? I think it's to help everyone. | Oct 11 01:19 |
cubexyz | if you had a kid, a teenager, and he/she played games all the time and watched a lot of TV and was failing in school what would you say then? | Oct 11 01:20 |
cubexyz | I don't think you would like that | Oct 11 01:20 |
cubexyz | people watching game shows promoting consumerism? | Oct 11 01:21 |
cubexyz | it's just sad | Oct 11 01:21 |
msb_ | That's a Red Herring propaganda ploy. Many people play games, and watch certain things on TV that they specifically like, in moderation. | Oct 11 01:22 |
cubexyz | so no thanks | Oct 11 01:22 |
cubexyz | I'd love to look at some statistics on that | Oct 11 01:23 |
msb_ | So what are you trying to do? Foist computers on people that will be incapable of giving them the things they enjoy, so they will be forced into your monastic existence? | Oct 11 01:23 |
cubexyz | I'd say people are watching more TV now than in the past | Oct 11 01:23 |
cubexyz | no, the customer tells me what they want :) | Oct 11 01:24 |
cubexyz | I merely make suggestions | Oct 11 01:24 |
cubexyz | I did warn people not to use windows 10 though | Oct 11 01:25 |
msb_ | Is that a "yes" answer to my question? Are you trying to reduce people's computer capabilities in order to force them into your life-style? | Oct 11 01:25 |
cubexyz | I can't force people to do anything, I assure you | Oct 11 01:25 |
cubexyz | I'm trying to get FOSS BIOS going actually | Oct 11 01:26 |
cubexyz | I have nothing against new computers except for secure boot/intel boot guard, and things of that nature | Oct 11 01:26 |
msb_ | If people buy new fast computers because they want Windows 10, that's a good thing, because when they find out how bad 10 is, we can tell them about Linux, and they'll have a good fast machine to run it on, | Oct 11 01:27 |
cubexyz | and currently network television is bad bad bad | Oct 11 01:27 |
cubexyz | you know it's bad :) | Oct 11 01:27 |
cubexyz | they don't even like windows 10, that's what I've been hearing lately | Oct 11 01:28 |
cubexyz | well, people usually call me when they're having a problem | Oct 11 01:28 |
cubexyz | so I fix the problem... if they feel like hearing my philosophic observations on stuff then I'll tell them what I think | Oct 11 01:29 |
cubexyz | otherwise it's problem fixed, paid, bye | Oct 11 01:29 |
cubexyz | it's mostly in here that I ramble on about stuff because they tend to be more receptive | Oct 11 01:30 |
msb_ | "Madame Secretary" is good. "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" is good. "Castle" is good. "Limitless" is good. These are all current network TV series. | Oct 11 01:30 |
cubexyz | they do ask me on occassion | Oct 11 01:30 |

*roy__ (~schestowi@unaffiliated/schestowitz) has joined #techrights | Oct 11 01:31 | |
cubexyz | no one asks me about TV though | Oct 11 01:31 |
msb_ | You don't try to convert them all to Linux? | Oct 11 01:31 |
cubexyz | well what I do is point out the alternatives like Linux/BSD/ChromeOS | Oct 11 01:31 |
cubexyz | a few have actually listened and bought machines with those OSes from me | Oct 11 01:32 |
cubexyz | no not necessarily Linux | Oct 11 01:32 |
cubexyz | sometimes they buy Linux without realizing it, ironically enough | Oct 11 01:33 |
cubexyz | sometimes I talk about repairability | Oct 11 01:33 |
cubexyz | I've fixed a few HDTVs :) | Oct 11 01:33 |
cubexyz | so you see, I'm not totally against TV | Oct 11 01:34 |
cubexyz | Sony Bravia TVs are basically Linux computers | Oct 11 01:34 |
*roy__ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | Oct 11 01:35 | |
cubexyz | I should say no one asks me which TV programs I watch, beyond the fact I'm interested in Sci-FI | Oct 11 01:35 |
*roy__ (~schestowi@unaffiliated/schestowitz) has joined #techrights | Oct 11 01:35 | |
cubexyz | but if I watch ABC or CBS and see 8 or 9 commercials in a row, that's it, I'm done | Oct 11 01:35 |
cubexyz | I have a PVR (which I'm not completely happy with) so I can on the few occasions where I do watch TV, fast-forward through any commercials | Oct 11 01:36 |
cubexyz | but it's like 35% to 40% commercials now | Oct 11 01:36 |
cubexyz | I can live without it | Oct 11 01:37 |
cubexyz | I think I mentioned the Microsoft ads on Elementary already | Oct 11 01:38 |
cubexyz | monastic life is surely an exaggeration :) | Oct 11 01:38 |
cubexyz | I'd rather read books on Gutenberg than watch TV | Oct 11 01:39 |
cubexyz | a real monk wouldn't fix TVs I don't think | Oct 11 01:39 |
msb_ | The shows I watch are no more than about 30%, and I record them from cable-TV and then skip past the commercials. I also remove those obnoxious channel logos from the lower right corner, using an mplayer feature and some scripts I wrote. | Oct 11 01:42 |
cubexyz | I once saw an ad take up a good 25% of the lower screen during the program | Oct 11 01:43 |
cubexyz | it just gets worse and worse each year | Oct 11 01:43 |
cubexyz | it's better to wait for the DVD/Bluray and rip it to the computer | Oct 11 01:43 |
cubexyz | Bell and Rogers have a duopoly in Canada, and it's not a good thing | Oct 11 01:44 |
cubexyz | I imagine the United States is similar | Oct 11 01:44 |
cubexyz | the PVR from Bell must be the most blacked-boxed device I've ever seen | Oct 11 01:46 |
cubexyz | videos are encrypted and non-transferable | Oct 11 01:47 |
msb_ | "Elementary" will be back next month -- great! Did you refuse to watch it because it had Microshit ads? | Oct 11 01:47 |
cubexyz | no, I just complain about it :) | Oct 11 01:47 |
cubexyz | sometimes I read when on the exercise bike as I'm a bit worried I'm sitting too much | Oct 11 01:48 |
msb_ | Not all good shows come out on DVD. | Oct 11 01:49 |
cubexyz | they put "My Mother the Car" on DVD, they don't seem to be too choosey :) | Oct 11 01:49 |
cubexyz | youtube as a 240p mode for us techno-minimalists | Oct 11 01:51 |
msb_ | I'm told one can even find highly compressed high resolution copies of TV shows, with the commercials removed, on file-sharing cites. Maybe on the Dark Web, along with the Kitty Porn. | Oct 11 01:51 |
msb_ | cites -> sites | Oct 11 01:51 |
cubexyz | yes, I downloaded a few Elementary episodes like that | Oct 11 01:52 |
msb_ | 360p minimal for me. | Oct 11 01:52 |
msb_ | youtube-dl allows you to select the rez that you want. | Oct 11 01:53 |

cubexyz | Sony wasn't helpful at all when I asked them about replacement TV parts | Oct 11 01:55 |
cubexyz | I still managed to source the parts though | Oct 11 01:55 |
msb_ | I loved it when North Korea stole their movie! (If it did.) | Oct 11 01:56 |
cubexyz | it's the parts cross-reference info that's the real gold | Oct 11 01:56 |
cubexyz | they don't want you to know that stuff | Oct 11 01:56 |
cubexyz | I know one guy who puts me to shame... | Oct 11 01:57 |
cubexyz | he only uses a human-powered lawnmower :) | Oct 11 01:57 |
cubexyz | doesn't even own a TV | Oct 11 01:57 |
cubexyz | but that kind of person is very rare | Oct 11 01:58 |
cubexyz | he lived during the Great Depression, so he's programmed himself to be very frugal | Oct 11 01:58 |
msb_ | And rides a horse to work. | Oct 11 01:58 |
cubexyz | no, he owns a car but... | Oct 11 01:58 |
cubexyz | it doesn't have radio :) | Oct 11 01:59 |

cubexyz | Loki Software seems like a million years ago now | Oct 11 02:59 |
cubexyz | ok, just did something interesting, never happened before... | Oct 11 03:18 |
MinceR | :) | Oct 11 03:18 |
cubexyz | x2x is running and I switched to text console | Oct 11 03:19 |
cubexyz | so you x2x and use a different keyboard, you lose control at that point | Oct 11 03:19 |
cubexyz | since X doesn't control the keyboard at that point | Oct 11 03:19 |
MinceR | you switched the controlled machine to text console? | Oct 11 03:20 |
cubexyz | yes | Oct 11 03:20 |
MinceR | i never did that :) | Oct 11 03:20 |
cubexyz | it actually switched the controller machine to text console as well | Oct 11 03:21 |
MinceR | :D | Oct 11 03:21 |
cubexyz | if the cursor is on the controller machine, then I can just switch that machine to text console (as expected) | Oct 11 03:22 |
cubexyz | and as I bonus, I managed to bork up both text consoles | Oct 11 03:22 |
cubexyz | but ... interestingly enough, not by x2x | Oct 11 03:23 |
cubexyz | and there's no get-out-of-borked-up-text-console free framebuffer module on openbsd | Oct 11 03:24 |
cubexyz | if the text console gets borked up on Linux I can do: sudo modprobe radeonfb | Oct 11 03:25 |
cubexyz | but that does't exist in openbsd | Oct 11 03:25 |
MinceR | do openbsd gurus have an idea to fix that? | Oct 11 03:25 |
cubexyz | not really | Oct 11 03:26 |
cubexyz | you can use serial terminal or ssh from ethernet to do stuff of course | Oct 11 03:26 |
cubexyz | maybe if you knew exactly which registers to write to you could fix it | Oct 11 03:27 |
cubexyz | I know openbsd does: | Oct 11 03:30 |
cubexyz | wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console #2880x25, vt100 emulation#29 | Oct 11 03:31 |
cubexyz | ah, that's garbled | Oct 11 03:31 |
MinceR | :) | Oct 11 03:31 |
cubexyz | the parathensis has been converted to #28 and #29 | Oct 11 03:32 |
cubexyz | wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) | Oct 11 03:32 |
cubexyz | that is correct | Oct 11 03:32 |
cubexyz | I must admit Linux does this better than openbsd | Oct 11 03:35 |
MinceR | but not for long, if redcrap has its way :> | Oct 11 03:35 |
cubexyz | the openbsd gurus don't think the framebuffer is important | Oct 11 03:36 |
cubexyz | you can control the text console on openbsd with: | Oct 11 03:37 |
cubexyz | wsconscfg -t 80x50 6 | Oct 11 03:37 |
cubexyz | but if it completely goes blank then you're screwed | Oct 11 03:37 |
cubexyz | parenthesis | Oct 11 03:40 |
cubexyz | it's stupid there's no reset feature | Oct 11 03:46 |
cubexyz | System/390 does things a lot better than PCs | Oct 11 04:03 |
cubexyz | separate memory partitions for one thing | Oct 11 04:04 |
cubexyz | basically less code for GUIs and more code for error detection, error isolation and recovery | Oct 11 04:05 |
cubexyz | that's not to say Linux or BSD couldn't be better than it currently is | Oct 11 04:06 |

What I wrote about were "Goddess religions -- Earth-centered religions -- that told us how to take care of our world". These gave people instructions for planting, weeding, harvesting, raising animals, etc., told as _stories_ by and about beings. This format | Oct 11 21:37 |

MinceR | and even if you get the procedure right by rote, embedding it in religion makes it static and impossible to improve | Oct 11 22:26 |
MinceR | thus you get rules that forbid eating pork, shellfish, etc. | Oct 11 22:26 |
msb_ | MinceR: No, you are confusing JCI religion with Wicca/Witchcraft/Goddess religion, which you probably have never researched. Goddess religions are joyful and flexible. And BTW, if you put some milk and cookies under your bed for Putin, who lives there, he'll be happy and will stop plotting against you. | Oct 11 22:32 |

MinceR | typically marking the ones possessing it as the Chosen People and everyone else as evil and/or expendable | Oct 11 22:34 |
MinceR | and since it's inaccessible to reason and unprovable, it's also typically static | Oct 11 22:35 |
MinceR | and the only thing that will stop putin plotting against me is his death | Oct 11 22:35 |

schestowitz | Nice | Oct 12 02:26 |
cubexyz | I'm just pointing out that AMI is heavily dependent on Microsoft | Oct 12 02:26 |
cubexyz | and of course it makes it harder to do basic stuff with AMI BIOS with a Linux computer | Oct 12 02:27 |
cubexyz | like flashing your bios | Oct 12 02:27 |
cubexyz | Hence AMI is bad, and better alternatives exist | Oct 12 02:27 |
msb_ | I would like to present an alternative. When I first bought a mobo, and maybe before when I looked into the B | Oct 12 02:29 |
msb_ | BIOS of my first PC. The BIOS mfr that I remember is AMI. They may have been the first and principal bios mfr. | Oct 12 02:30 |
cubexyz | Gary Kildall invented the first BIOS | Oct 12 02:30 |
msb_ | They started using MS tools because those were what was available for PCs. I did too. | Oct 12 02:30 |
cubexyz | originally Intel wrote their own tools | Oct 12 02:31 |
cubexyz | then shortly after that they started using MASM | Oct 12 02:32 |
msb_ | But AMI was the popular BIOS mfr, not Kildall. | Oct 12 02:32 |
cubexyz | there was a history of CP/M computers before then IBM PC existed | Oct 12 02:34 |
msb_ | You say updating the bios requires a windows program. It's not true, at least with the asus 990fx mobo. A bios image can be loaded from a usb stick using only the bios, no OS at all. | Oct 12 02:34 |
msb_ | The point is, the fact that AMI uses MS tools does not mean that their BIOS is "bad". | Oct 12 02:35 |
cubexyz | I fail to see how it could be any worse | Oct 12 02:36 |
msb_ | The 990FX mobo uses an ami bios, but it can be updated without using windows. | Oct 12 02:36 |
cubexyz | that's about as bad as can be | Oct 12 02:36 |
MinceR | i think we'll find out in a decade or a few decades how bad it can be | Oct 12 02:36 |
MinceR | apparently everyone who has power wants that | Oct 12 02:37 |
cubexyz | the original IBM PC BIOS was built with Intel ASM86 | Oct 12 02:37 |
msb_ | Your use of "bad" and "worse" are contentless judgement terms. You're afraid of contamination. You have to specify precisely _what_ is bad and _why_ it is bad. | Oct 12 02:37 |
cubexyz | I did specifiy _exactly_ what was bad | Oct 12 02:38 |
msb_ | What? Everything from AMI? | Oct 12 02:38 |
cubexyz | proprietary closed source BIOS which can't be reviewed or checked in any way other than reverse engineering | Oct 12 02:38 |
cubexyz | if it wasn't for the leaks, I would have no clue at all about what AMI does | Oct 12 02:39 |
msb_ | What I suspect you're going to come up with is a slow expensive mobo/cpu combination, that will be of no use to people who want to play games or watch videos. But you won't care because _you_ don't play games or watch videos. | Oct 12 02:40 |
cubexyz | msb_ you are a real goof | Oct 12 02:40 |
cubexyz | I worked for LGP | Oct 12 02:40 |
cubexyz | do you know what that means? | Oct 12 02:41 |
msb_ | No, I'm telling the truth. | Oct 12 02:41 |
msb_ | No | Oct 12 02:41 |
cubexyz | it means I worked for a video game publisher | Oct 12 02:41 |
cubexyz | Linux Game Publishing | Oct 12 02:41 |
msb_ | So what? If your solution is no good for playing games or watching compressed videos, it will not be accepted by the majority of people. If you don't care about that, then you should admit it. | Oct 12 02:42 |
msb_ | Linux can already circumvent UEFI, and the 990FX mobo can even turn it off entirely. | Oct 12 02:43 |
MinceR | can it circumvent Restricted Boot that presents no option for disabling and doesn't let you to change the keys? | Oct 12 02:44 |
msb_ | So the problem that remains is AMT/DASH, and if that can be solved with a $50 to $100 SBC router with open-source code, then _that_ solution _will_ work for most people. | Oct 12 02:45 |
msb_ | MinceR: There is some kind of shim loader that is signed with MS keys that enables all Linuxes to boot. | Oct 12 02:46 |
MinceR | until m$ makes up a malware scare and revokes those keys. | Oct 12 02:46 |
MinceR | s/those keys/the certificate that loader is signed with/ | Oct 12 02:47 |
cubexyz | right, let's become more dependent on Microsoft :-P | Oct 12 02:47 |
cubexyz | what a stupid idea | Oct 12 02:47 |
MinceR | having m$ hold the only keys to one's "computer" is unacceptable | Oct 12 02:47 |
cubexyz | it's very simple... | Oct 12 02:47 |
msb_ | Can those keys be revoked? That would require the bios to call home to MS before accepting the keys.] | Oct 12 02:47 |
cubexyz | if you don't have the source code you don't have control, simple as that | Oct 12 02:47 |
MinceR | afaik it's designed so it can be revoked | Oct 12 02:47 |
msb_ | MinceR: please give a reference. | Oct 12 02:48 |
MinceR | but it may require booting some OS that's obedient to m$ to actually do the call home | Oct 12 02:48 |
MinceR | another way would be exploiting a security hole in winblows to chain-load your own bootloader | Oct 12 02:48 |
MinceR | but i don't want to have to jailbreak my computer | Oct 12 02:48 |
msb_ | In that case, if the shim loader loads Linux, the MS key cannot be revoked. | Oct 12 02:48 |
MinceR | until someone boots winblows on that system once | Oct 12 02:49 |
MinceR | or until systemd does the call home, etc. | Oct 12 02:49 |

cubexyz | the truth is the truth | Oct 12 02:52 |
cubexyz | most people aren't 'mad', they just don't think about stuff like BIOS | Oct 12 02:53 |
MinceR | it seems to me that most people happily cede control to companies like m$ and crApple | Oct 12 02:53 |
MinceR | for example, see the popularity of crApple's backdoored mobile devices | Oct 12 02:54 |
cubexyz | what they tell me is one of two things: | Oct 12 02:54 |
MinceR | also, talk to such people | Oct 12 02:54 |
MinceR | they'll tell you they don't mind | Oct 12 02:54 |
cubexyz | I'm too old to learn $NEW_THING | Oct 12 02:54 |
cubexyz | or | Oct 12 02:54 |
cubexyz | It's too hard to learn, I can't understand it | Oct 12 02:54 |
cubexyz | I made the same mistakes when I was younger | Oct 12 02:55 |
cubexyz | it's taken me a long time to get to this point | Oct 12 02:55 |
cubexyz | and they are right, it is hard to learn all the details about the BIOS | Oct 12 02:56 |
cubexyz | but that's what I've decided to do | Oct 12 02:56 |
cubexyz | like I said before, I'm seeing more customers use chromebooks, so there is some will to break away from the "mother-ship" of Microsoft | Oct 12 02:57 |

cubexyz | Mincer, if you have a superior suggestion, I'm all ears :) | Oct 12 02:58 |
MinceR | but at least they could if they wanted to | Oct 12 02:58 |
MinceR | i don't have any suggestion that can be practically implemented right now | Oct 12 02:58 |
cubexyz | I can tell you I've talked to some Google and Coreboot people | Oct 12 02:58 |
cubexyz | and they are much friendlier than Microsoft people by far | Oct 12 02:59 |
*amarsh04 has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Oct 12 02:59 | |
cubexyz | all AMI has to do to change my mind about them is simple: give me commented source code to one motherboard | Oct 12 02:59 |
cubexyz | that's it... if they do that, I'll give them a thumbs up | Oct 12 03:00 |
cubexyz | people do have a vague idea that the computer world is getting more closed | Oct 12 03:01 |
cubexyz | look at PVRs, once they did not encrypt the video, now they almost always do | Oct 12 03:01 |
cubexyz | MinceR, hopefully Novena will catch on and become cheaper | Oct 12 03:02 |
MinceR | hopefully they're willing to manufacture the Senoko boards again | Oct 12 03:03 |
MinceR | without those, it isn't even a laptop | Oct 12 03:03 |
MinceR | at any rate, it's probably a PITA to acquire at all | Oct 12 03:04 |
MinceR | well, at least some chromebooks are available for sale in hungary now | Oct 12 03:04 |
MinceR | afaict a few months ago there were none | Oct 12 03:04 |
msb_ | cubexyz: It's ridiculous to expect AMI to give you "commented source code to one motherboard". They would be killing their entire business -- their source of income. | Oct 12 03:06 |
cubexyz | msb_, I told them any motherboard, no matter how old | Oct 12 03:06 |
cubexyz | well, newer than IBM PC at least | Oct 12 03:07 |
msb_ | What would a very old one accomplish? | Oct 12 03:07 |
cubexyz | I have commented AMI BIOS source code anyways | Oct 12 03:07 |
msb_ | Please share it. | Oct 12 03:07 |
msb_ | Does it deal with UEFI/secure-boot or AMT/DASH? | Oct 12 03:08 |
MinceR | well, redcrap has apparently developed a method to avoid leaking commented source code | Oct 12 03:08 |
cubexyz | I have two: 1999 era, and 2011 era BIOS | Oct 12 03:08 |
MinceR | they don't write comments in the first place | Oct 12 03:08 |
cubexyz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/ami-firmware.torrent | Oct 12 03:09 |
cubexyz | that's the newer one | Oct 12 03:09 |
msb_ | So far, what I've seen about MS revoking their keys involves MS putting out a BIOS update. | Oct 12 03:09 |
MinceR | i don't think that's a full-blown BIOS update | Oct 12 03:10 |
MinceR | but what if it is? | Oct 12 03:10 |
MinceR | they're still going to install it automatically if you let their malware boot once | Oct 12 03:10 |
cubexyz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/mystery-code-do-not-look.zip | Oct 12 03:10 |
cubexyz | ok, that disappears in a hour :) | Oct 12 03:10 |
cubexyz | you have your chance, make your time :) | Oct 12 03:10 |
MinceR | mystery meat! | Oct 12 03:11 |
MinceR | you have no chance to survive make your time. | Oct 12 03:11 |
msb_ | To avoid that, one can refuse any BIOS update. But a safer approach is to save your working BIOS, and reflash with that if your bios gets updated against your wishes. | Oct 12 03:11 |
MinceR | if they allow you to reflash | Oct 12 03:11 |
cubexyz | some notes: | Oct 12 03:12 |
cubexyz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/bios.txt | Oct 12 03:12 |
cubexyz | the weird thing is AMI does have a SVN for BIOS source code | Oct 12 03:14 |
cubexyz | not sure how much $$$ you need to get access | Oct 12 03:15 |
*amarsh04 (~amarsh04@ppp14-2-32-233.lns21.adl2.internode.on.net) has joined #techrights | Oct 12 03:18 | |
cubexyz | the problem with using Microsoft's key is what if you compile your kernel and now they need you to have a signed kernel? | Oct 12 03:19 |
cubexyz | it's a problem | Oct 12 03:19 |
MinceR | probably one of the first steps will involve demanding you to use redcrap's signed kernel blob | Oct 12 03:21 |
MinceR | and it will get darker from there | Oct 12 03:21 |
cubexyz | so forced systemd potentially | Oct 12 03:21 |
MinceR | indeed | Oct 12 03:21 |
MinceR | i suspect that kernel will be garrettux anyway | Oct 12 03:22 |
MinceR | with kdbus | Oct 12 03:22 |
cubexyz | the 1999 BIOS is pretty clean, I haven't found anything bad | Oct 12 03:22 |
msb_ | cubexyz: Thanks for that stuff! | Oct 12 03:23 |
cubexyz | msb_, what stuff? | Oct 12 03:23 |
cubexyz | :) | Oct 12 03:23 |
cubexyz | just a mystery file that will be deleted | Oct 12 03:23 |
msb_ | Can't one just use the signed shim-loader and then any OS? | Oct 12 03:23 |
cubexyz | maybe | Oct 12 03:24 |
MinceR | only as long as m$ will sign (and not revoke the signature on) a loader that will load any OS | Oct 12 03:24 |
MinceR | see 'malware scare' above | Oct 12 03:24 |
cubexyz | it's such a simple thing, wanting the BIOS source code | Oct 12 03:25 |
cubexyz | and yet, so difficult to get | Oct 12 03:25 |
MinceR | it's such a simple thing, wanting control over what a device someone bought with their own money | Oct 12 03:26 |
msb_ | But if you can save the original bios image, and then reflash it if MS manages to change your bios, you're ok, right? | Oct 12 03:26 |
MinceR | does | Oct 12 03:26 |
MinceR | i'm not sure if you can even dump the image | Oct 12 03:26 |
MinceR | or where it actually stores the revocation information | Oct 12 03:26 |
cubexyz | right, it's all a big mystery | Oct 12 03:27 |
msb_ | With the 990FX mobo, you can dump the bios image to a usb stick and restore it from there using only the bios -- no os. You can do the same with the keys. | Oct 12 03:28 |
cubexyz | the fact of the matter is, not even raspberry pi has BIOS source code | Oct 12 03:28 |
msb_ | But hopefully some SBC does, with two ethernet ports, that can be used to make a router. | Oct 12 03:30 |
MinceR | or an ethernet port and a usb port, or two usb ports | Oct 12 03:30 |
MinceR | though i guess usb ethernet dongles are less than optimal | Oct 12 03:31 |
cubexyz | eventually someone is going to do it | Oct 12 03:31 |
MinceR | but afaik raspberry pi-s already use an ethernet port that's internally connected via usb | Oct 12 03:31 |
cubexyz | Award merged with Phoenix btw | Oct 12 03:31 |
cubexyz | the other question is why did IBM offer 286 BIOS source code, and never again after that? | Oct 12 03:32 |
msb_ | cubexyz: Right! Two more names I remember. | Oct 12 03:33 |
cubexyz | but I don't remember flashing the BIOS on a 286 | Oct 12 03:34 |
cubexyz | imagine booting into a BASIC of your own design | Oct 12 03:35 |
*MinceR shudders | Oct 12 03:35 | |
cubexyz | on the Amiga we changed the rom chip | Oct 12 03:39 |
MinceR | apparently now discrete rom chips and sockets are too expensive | Oct 12 03:40 |
msb_ | The hard part may be finding the AMT/DASH command packet codes so they can be filtered out. | Oct 12 03:40 |
cubexyz | you had to update the BIOS somehow on the IBM AT to get 720K 3.5" drives working | Oct 12 03:41 |
cubexyz | my 286 clone had 1.2 meg 5.25 drives | Oct 12 03:42 |

cubexyz | Franklin cloned the Apple II | Oct 12 03:53 |
cubexyz | Franklin actually won their case but... | Oct 12 03:54 |
cubexyz | Apple appealed | Oct 12 03:55 |
cubexyz | I think the IBM 286 used Phoenix BIOS | Oct 12 03:55 |
cubexyz | or maybe it was the clones | Oct 12 03:55 |
cubexyz | anyways, Phoenix made the first PC ROM BIOS 'clone' | Oct 12 03:57 |

cubexyz | interesting magazine prediction from 1987: | Oct 12 05:02 |
cubexyz | "the market will transition from an IBM standard to a Intel/MS-DOS/expansion bus standard" | Oct 12 05:02 |
msb_ | Can't find anything on the AMD website about whether the FX-8350 contains the DASH system. DASH is supposed to be an "open standard" so maybe they'll talk to me on the phone about it. | Oct 12 05:34 |
msb_ | I've narrowed the population I want to find secure solutions for two groups: 1. People willing to use Linux who already have a computer they like 2. People willing to use Linux and are looking to buy a new fast computer. | Oct 12 05:38 |
msb_ | Of course windows users are hopeless. | Oct 12 05:38 |
msb_ | AMD FX-8350 CPU and ASUS 990FX mobo will work for group 2 (which includes me) if that CPU doesn't have DASH or if its command packets can be filtered out by an SBC router. | Oct 12 05:41 |
cubexyz | the corporate forces are aligned against the people | Oct 12 05:41 |
cubexyz | Microsoft, AMI, Adobe, Apple, etc etc | Oct 12 05:41 |
cubexyz | oh you may as well add HP to that list | Oct 12 05:42 |
cubexyz | they've been quite unhelpful in the last decade or so | Oct 12 05:42 |
msb_ | Why include AMI? Their BIOS for the 990FX can totally disable secure-boot, and can easily (re-)flash the BIOS. | Oct 12 05:43 |
cubexyz | well AMI is a google partner | Oct 12 05:49 |
msb_ | ...and remove and replace the secure-boot keys. | Oct 12 05:49 |
msb_ | So? | Oct 12 05:50 |
cubexyz | I have to study this on a case by case basis but so far I do not trust AMI | Oct 12 05:53 |
cubexyz | there's been cases of ASUS notebook owners getting locked out of Linux | Oct 12 05:54 |
cubexyz | AMI BIOS | Oct 12 05:55 |
msb_ | Were you able to fix them? | Oct 12 05:55 |
cubexyz | no, these were people I haven't met in person | Oct 12 05:56 |
cubexyz | just telling me about it via email | Oct 12 05:56 |
*jono has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) | Oct 12 05:56 | |
msb_ | Did they get fixed? | Oct 12 05:56 |
cubexyz | basically what they tell me is that they disabled secure boot and still couldn't load linux on | Oct 12 05:56 |
msb_ | So this was during Linux installation? | Oct 12 05:57 |
cubexyz | yes, I think after quite a long time they did manage to get Kubuntu on | Oct 12 05:59 |
msb_ | What did the problem turn out to be? | Oct 12 05:59 |
cubexyz | something about "launch CSM" | Oct 12 05:59 |
msb_ | That's the compatibility (no secure-boot) module. | Oct 12 06:00 |
msb_ | Was their bios up to date? | Oct 12 06:01 |
cubexyz | I doubt it | Oct 12 06:01 |
msb_ | maybe thi | Oct 12 06:01 |
msb_ | maybe their CSM was half-baked. | Oct 12 06:02 |
msb_ | It might be a comparatively new feature, as AMI realized that there are a lot of Linu | Oct 12 06:03 |
msb_ | Linux users. | Oct 12 06:03 |
msb_ | So that's not a reason to reject AMI. | Oct 12 06:04 |
cubexyz | I'm looking at some AMI code right now | Oct 12 06:12 |
cubexyz | and it's clear it's been designed mainly for Windows 7 | Oct 12 06:12 |
cubexyz | there is much to study here | Oct 12 06:13 |
msb_ | Does Linux ever execute any bios code once it has booted up? | Oct 12 06:14 |
cubexyz | I'll say that modern BIOS can operate at a level which is invisible to the main OS | Oct 12 06:17 |
cubexyz | so basically AMI is writing for Windows first | Oct 12 06:18 |
msb_ | can it do that if it never gets executed after boot. | Oct 12 06:18 |
cubexyz | Linux is an after-thought | Oct 12 06:18 |
cubexyz | I know the Linux folks try to use the BIOS as little as possible since they don't trust it | Oct 12 06:18 |
msb_ | So we're interested in whether there are any nasties built into bios that could operate under Linux. | Oct 12 06:19 |
cubexyz | invisible to Linux I think is the best way to describe it | Oct 12 06:19 |
cubexyz | sometimes that is called ring -1 | Oct 12 06:19 |
cubexyz | I know AMI tests on Redhat | Oct 12 06:21 |
*jono (~jono@ubuntu/member/jono) has joined #techrights | Oct 12 06:21 | |
cubexyz | the BIOS knows which OS you have | Oct 12 06:21 |
msb_ | First off, one should boot Linux air-gapped -- with the Net physically disconnected. That way any nasties couldn't phone home. So they'd have to know how to mess up any of the many distros from info included in the bios. | Oct 12 06:21 |
cubexyz | well the first place I'm looking is SmmDriverDispatcher.c | Oct 12 06:22 |
cubexyz | some of it is under a BSD license | Oct 12 06:25 |
cubexyz | also there's comments complaining about what the Microsoft compiler does | Oct 12 06:29 |
cubexyz | well probably wireshark or tcpdump would be good enough to see any phone home activity | Oct 12 06:31 |
cubexyz | I guess it wouldn't show everything | Oct 12 06:32 |
cubexyz | if you ran everything for 10 years and never had a problem well then I would say it's fine | Oct 12 06:35 |
cubexyz | but my computers are all non-DASH | Oct 12 06:36 |
cubexyz | it's interesting watching the ARP traffic | Oct 12 06:40 |
*jono has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) | Oct 12 06:40 | |
cubexyz | if the router becomes unreponsive I'll watch to see if the ARP messages are still happening | Oct 12 06:42 |
msb_ | Ring -1 is for VM execs, right? And since there are open-source VM execs, we should be able to figure out how to detect ring -1 activity. | Oct 12 07:32 |
