00:03 Sompi; Actually it seems that the laptop does some checks to make sure that the bootable drive contains a MSDOS-compatible partitioning table, before it transfers the control to the bootloader
00:04 Sompi; So in "legacy" mode it is bootlocked to operating system that use MSDOS-style partitioning
00:04 XRevan86; Sompi: Maybe. How do ye know though?
00:04 Sompi; It booted iPXE and I changed stuff there with a hex editor
00:04 Sompi; https://stanislavs.org/helppc/disk_partition_table.html
00:04 TR Bot; disk partition table
00:05 Sompi; It seems to check that the boot indicator bytes are all either 00 or 80
00:05 Sompi; If some of them isn't, the laptop refuses to boot
00:05 Sompi; That's a nonstandard thing and there is absolutely no reason to do that
00:06 Sompi; The firmware shoud not anything with that partitioning information
00:06 Sompi; should*
00:06 Sompi; And in UEFI mode the laptop can only boot from its internal hard disk. All other boot options vanish when the UEFI mode is selected
00:08 XRevan86; Sompi: "laptop does some checks to make sure that the bootable drive contains a MSDOS-compatible partitioning table" <- Could it be for VBR?
00:10 XRevan86; Sompi: Why are ye even messing with MBR though?
00:10 Sompi; What is a VBR?
00:13 Sompi; XRevan86: It seems to check for MSDOS-style partitioning (that microsoft calls MBR), for some reason
00:14 Sompi; And the firmware refuses to transfer the control to the boot sector code if there isn't a MSDOS-style partition table present
00:15 XRevan86; Sompi: The boot sector code is part of the MBR.
00:16 XRevan86; VBR is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_boot_record , a boot sector stored in a partition.
00:16 TR Bot; Volume boot record - Wikipedia
00:18 XRevan86; "that microsoft calls MBR" <- Does "MBR" really sound more Microsoft-like than "MSDOS-style partitioning"?
00:18 Sompi; So with MSDOS-style partitioning, the "VBR" is the first sector of the "active" partitioning
00:19 Sompi; XRevan86: Most GNU partitioning tools call it "msdos partitioning" because MBR is so easily confused with the boot sector

00:21 Sompi; yes
00:21 Sompi; " o create a new empty DOS partition table"
00:22 Sompi; (from fdisk menu)
00:22 XRevan86; Can't easily check, I don't have any MBR in the vicinity.
00:24 XRevan86; Except for "Protective MBR", of course.
00:25 Sompi; The behaviour of that laptop's firmware makes no sense
00:25 MinceR; i suspect that TianoCore is just broken and all these firmware developers just put clothes on that broken mess
00:26 XRevan86; InsydeH2O specifically.
00:27 Sompi; Is that TianoCore some Intel's thing?
00:27 Sompi; Intel and Microsoft spread that disinformation everywhere that traditional BIOS is locked to MSDOS-style partitioning, so it would make sense that their own BIOS implementation has that limitation
00:27 XRevan86; It's this: https://tianocore.org/
00:27 TR Bot; connect to tianocore.org:443; Connection refused ( status 0 @ https://tianocore.org/ )
00:28 Sompi; But that limitation is not in the IBM's official BIOS specification
00:28 Sompi; So Intel (and probably Microsoft) just made it up to make UEFI look better in comparison
00:29 XRevan86; Sompi: Ye are assuming anyone would notice.
00:29 XRevan86; When 99.99999999999% of x86 users have MBR, protective or the real thing, on their drives.
00:30 Sompi; Probably most *nix users at least try using something else. GPT or some rarer BSD-specific partitioning
00:30 Sompi; So it is weird if no-one notices
00:30 XRevan86; Sompi: Protective MBR is even in GPT's specification.
00:32 Sompi; Also, didn't the root partition just start from the beginning of the drive in the first versions of BSD? Then in the /etc directory there is a file that contains the information of the other partitions
00:32 XRevan86; Protective MBR is an MBR partition table with one single partition that allocates the whole drive (with a size ceiling of course).
00:33 Sompi; And that bullshit that some new firmwares are doing is seriously breaking stuff
00:33 XRevan86; Sompi: I just checked on YouTube a recording of a person disabling Secure Boot on an Acer Aspire E15.
00:33 XRevan86; Sompi: And the trick I told you worked for them.
00:34 XRevan86; Set Supervisor password Disable Secure Boot Unset Supervisor password
00:34 Sompi; XRevan86: But that protective MBR is meant for compatibility with operating systems that only support msdos partitioning. It's not for compatibility with firmwares. Non-UEFI don't care about the partitioning
00:35 Sompi; XRevan86: I tried it and the secure boot is always enabled again when I clear the password
00:35 Sompi; So the firmware versions are not the same
00:35 XRevan86; I'm already going to acer.com
00:37 XRevan86; The latest for E5-576G is 1.49, the YouTube person had 1.29
00:37 XRevan86; I suppose it's possible they changed it in between those.
00:38 XRevan86; But probably not, since I just found a recording of a much newer Acer laptop with InsydeH2O where the same thing is done.
00:39 Sompi; That laptop has firmware version 1.31
00:42 XRevan86; Though maybe not, there's no visual confirmation there.
00:45 Sompi; How many UEFI- and Microsoft-induced security breachs we need until the normies reject this current direction of development?
00:45 techuser; They won't. Society is doomed.
00:46 Sompi; This is already becoming so ridiculous that I cannot run my own made operating system because of "security", and then the only allowed operating system has a privilege escalation bug that injects who-knows-what to the firmware
00:47 Sompi; And now anyone can just hijack anyone's Microsoft account and take their files as a hostage and Microsoft doesn't even consider that a bug
00:47 techuser; With smartphones, it is even worse, and people don't complain. So of course they won't when it gets ported to PCs.
00:49 Sompi; And even banking stuff is done by closed source smartphones and because that money gets stolen all the time. The banks just pay the money back to their affected customers and raise the service fees
00:49 Sompi; They don't even try fixing the security stuff anymore
00:50 techuser; They say "trusting computing" is the future. When you control as least as possible.
00:50 XRevan86; Sompi: At least MBR boot is available on it.
00:50 Sompi; But I don't want to use MBR, I have a better partitioning scheme.
00:51 Sompi; And the hard disk is too large that it could be properly used with Microsoft's MBR partitioning
00:51 XRevan86; Sompi: "And the hard disk is too large that it could be properly used with Microsoft's MBR partitioning" <- With GPT it's not.
00:52 Sompi; But the firmware refuses to transfer the control to the bootsector code if there isn't a MBR partitioning table
00:52 Sompi; And I don't want to use GPT either, it's bad design in other ways
00:52 techuser; Speaking of UEFI, on my laptop manufactured in 2011, it behaves weidly. When making changes to EFI variables, it reboots. Somehow managed to install a bootloader though.
00:52 XRevan86; Sompi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Protective_MBR_(LBA_0)

00:53 techuser; At least, changing from an operating system. A shell seems to work.

00:54 TR Bot; GRUB - ArchWiki
00:55 Sompi; XRevan86: But I don't want to use GRUB either
00:55 Sompi; The firmware should just load the boot sector to address 7C00 and jump to it. That's what the specification says
00:56 Sompi; The firmware doesn't care about partitioning
00:56 XRevan86; Sompi: Alright, do that, just make sure your bootloader can find a GPT partition.
00:56 Sompi; Or it shouldn't
00:56 XRevan86; Or whatever it is ye want to do.
00:56 Sompi; XRevan86: My bootloader doesn't use any partitioning atm
00:56 XRevan86; Sompi: No problem then
00:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
01:04 Sompi; I'm interested in what part of TianoCore's source code checks the presence of the msdos partition table
01:05 XRevan86; None because TianoCore doesn't handle "Legacy Boot" and MinceR didn't think that quip through (:
01:06 Sompi; ok
01:06 Sompi; Is there a reference implementation of CSM then?
01:07 XRevan86; Sompi: No, it's all proprietary BIOS' at that point.
01:07 XRevan86; Sompi: There's SeaBIOS but it has no relation to anything your system uses.
01:09 XRevan86; But just FYI, it's possible to use SeaBIOS as CSM for EDK-II, which is occasionally done with coreboot.
01:09 Sompi; So Acer's firmware programmers have just decided so that the computer won't boot if there is no msdos partition table
01:10 XRevan86; Sompi: I've no idea. Maybe it's a bug or something they failed to account for since everyone has MBR in some shape or form.

01:11 XRevan86; "Convert drive from gpt to mbr with gdisk/gparted" <- Don't do that.
01:11 MinceR; or they thought it would be funny to have a 'legacy' option with no implementation
01:11 XRevan86; Sompi: Again, GPT.
01:11 XRevan86; It will work.
01:12 Sompi; XRevan86: No, that computer doesn't boot if there isn't msdos prtitioning
01:12 XRevan86; Sompi: Ironically, it will not work with *Windows*, because Windows' Boot Manager does not support GPT through "Legacy Boot" (MBR boot).
01:12 t0talist; Sompi: the safest bet is to boot from read-only.iso; from a CD-ROM
01:12 Sompi; t0talist: It also doesn't have an optical drive.
01:13 XRevan86; Sompi: I will give you this link again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Protective_MBR_(LBA_0)
01:13 TR Bot; GUID Partition Table - Wikipedia
01:13 XRevan86; Sompi: GPT is designed not to conflict with MBR.
01:13 Sompi; These new computers really are completely in Microsoft's pocket
01:13 t0talist; Sompi: isohybrid... can modify a read-only.so to make that bootable as both, hard-disk with MBR and bootsector, and from cdrom
01:14 t0talist; that's what i am doing; booting from read-only.iso _only_; for the reasons mentioned here already
01:14 t0talist; MBRs were prone to viruses spreading... it's nasty
01:14 XRevan86; Sompi: Every drive with GPT will also have MBR just because, except for some fringe cases when the user specifically wanted not to have it.
01:15 XRevan86; > But that protective MBR is meant for compatibility with operating systems that only support msdos partitioning. It's not for compatibility with firmwares. Non-UEFI don't care about the partitioning
01:15 Sompi; But ST-DOS doesn't use GPT either
01:15 XRevan86; Sompi: Ye said that yourself. But it really doesn't matter with what compatibility is.
01:16 t0talist; btw; usb-dvd drives exist...
01:16 XRevan86; Sompi: Are ye booting MS-DOS?
01:17 XRevan86; Sompi: `# gdisk -l /dev/sda` Partition table scan: MBR: protective | BSD: not present | APM: not present | GPT: present
01:18 XRevan86; > Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
01:18 XRevan86; Sompi: If the problem is in that InsydeH2O wants MBR, it will get it even if ye use GPT.
01:18 XRevan86; Do ye understand that?

01:34 t0talist; i am trying to avoid MBR/GPT wherever possible; hence booting from ISO
01:35 Sompi; I could write a simple bootloader with a fake MBR and use it to boot the actual bootloader
01:35 XRevan86; t0talist: Is the partition table spying on you?
01:36 MinceR; maybe it's just poorly engineered
01:36 XRevan86; Sompi: If ye are making a custom partition table, just do what GPT did and make a protective MBR.
01:37 XRevan86; MinceR: It's better-engineered that aggi's brain, so doubt it.
01:37 Sompi; Actually with modern computers it is possible that some low-level thing like Intel ME is inspecting stuff on the hard drive and it is more likely to fail on doing that if it doesn't understand the partitioning
01:37 MinceR; or, in the case of GPT, seen as a small victory for the monstrosity that is trying to shove UEFI down our throats
01:37 MinceR; and with it, having our property locked into Backdoors
01:37 XRevan86; Sompi: That's definitely not what's going on.
01:38 MinceR; how can you tell?
01:38 Sompi; GPT and MBR are both almost equally bad partitioning schemes with hard-coded partition structs that limit the maximum amount of partitions
01:38 t0talist; the bootsector is dangerous
01:39 XRevan86; Told you partition tables spy on t0talist
01:39 t0talist; not the partition tables, the bootsector is dangerous
01:39 XRevan86; MinceR: Looks like bad code inside CSM rather than anything else.
01:40 XRevan86; t0talist: I guess Secure Boot was made for you.
01:40 Sompi; Though with MBR the extended partitions can be nested infinitely, but then there is the 2 TB size limit
01:40 XRevan86; Sompi: The limitation of GPT is 128 partitions.
01:41 Sompi; UEFI's Secure boot doesn't even prevent rootkits. The only way to prevent them is to boot from a physically write protected media.
01:41 Sompi; XRevan86: I know
01:42 t0talist; i'm using read-only.iso and scrambled root.squashfs instead; no need to trust the uefi malware

01:43 t0talist; if they can't unscramble root.squashfs, tampering any mbr/bootsector would be useless too

01:50 t0talist; btw. dvd-rw aren't 100% bullet-proof either; although i don't expect an attack on this in practice, because other options would be less troublesome for firmware vendors
01:51 t0talist; if you remember, cd/dvd-rw, can be "finalized", or not, and when those aren't, tracks can be added
01:51 t0talist; so, i could imagine, hidden tracks may be added, by elaborate firmwares, which is, just as said, complicated, and other options exist in practice
01:51 t0talist; and once there is UEFI or any other proprietary firmware, hijacking a read-only.iso boot sequence may not be necessary anyway
01:52 Sompi; With floppies you can just cut the write wire from the flat cable.
01:53 t0talist; i am not sure, if floppy read-only switch is a soft-switch only; which a floppy drive may or may not respond to appropriately
01:53 t0talist; nonetheless, it's usefull, and md5summing any floppy.img or cdrom.iso, that's trivial forensics
01:54 t0talist; another reason why, read-only boot sequence is important, more important than uefi "secure boot"
01:54 t0talist; because, with read-only, a chain of trust can be established _without_ relying on "secure boot" from uefi malware vendors

01:55 Sompi; I think the read-only switch on floppies is purely mechanical and the drive continuously sends +5V to the write-protect line when the write-protect switch is ON. But a mechanical malfunction can always prevent it from working, and the safest option is to just cut the write line from the flat cable.

05:21 t0talist; and there's too a reason, why NetBSD was too late, another almost 10 years
05:22 t0talist; besides, you're asking a little too much, from those whom you recommend GNU/linux to

05:25 t0talist; i mean, Oasis Linux, it's not bad, and they are honest even, with the problems they have, compiler support of cproc/qbe

05:26 t0talist; *of
05:26 t0talist; because, you're all jedi-mind tricked, by the corporate marketing, that "free software" branding is
05:27 t0talist; just because there's a BSD or GPL license stamped onto, doesn't make it "free"
05:27 t0talist; a kernel/compiler with dozens of millions of LoC, sitting atop proprietary malicious vendor extensions, that's not free-software
05:28 t0talist; even when, there's no binary firmware involved
05:30 geert; some would say 'money talks'
05:30 geert; hardware, paid by money
05:30 geert; food, paid by money

05:30 geert; so organization of money does get quite the effects
05:30 geert; we see the transparency potential of digital technology kind of wholly compromised
05:31 geert; instead of sharing only stock numbers or so, people wana 'limit transparency' by closing out others
05:31 geert; email boxes with passwords and what not supposed 'security'
05:31 geert; just very few people can keep a more purist view throughout those influences
05:32 geert; its you too in some way t0talist, getting deal this
05:32 geert; like e.g. you talking about 20 yrs not getting paid while seeing people who run more according corrupt lines so called 'drown in money'
05:32 geert; so in another way than many others, moneys still get influence with you too
05:33 geert; we got serious issues not even politically as schesto talks it
05:33 geert; its not real politics, even, just like its not even real capitalism we suffering
05:33 geert; it got hijacked

05:34 geert; monetary
05:34 t0talist; the good thing about it; this whole research had opened my eyes; to avoid even more time wasted with this
05:35 geert; please dont let the moneys stop you sharing some serious, because many those that drown by moneys paid for conformism to corruption, dont care jack shit
05:35 t0talist; i only advice some caution, like so: gnu/linux from year 2003, that's not the same as it is nowadays 20 years later
05:35 geert; but many others might get influenced in better and more informed direction if you dont stop sharing some
05:36 t0talist; same license, same branding, same people, completely different thing sold than what it was 20 years ago
05:36 geert; its sad if people dont really want compensate accordingly, specifically those that do get the means
05:36 geert; they pretty much rather stimulate jeopardy than improve.
05:36 geert; thats quite the liability in history eyes so to speak

05:43 t0talist; another ouch
05:43 t0talist; re-integration of uclibc-ng for example, that's too alot of work, and i digged into the internals of that one already
05:44 t0talist; i think, some locale/unicode related stuff, was weird, a giant #ifdef cascade, just for this

05:49 geert; many things are tried to stretch princips up to easy/lazy demand, try see if faster still goes
05:50 t0talist; geert: ?
05:50 geert; i think that kind of happened there with a little bit bodged abuse of that way of going about in order to serve 'security'
05:50 geert; yea people think they can dev faster towards progress if they let go of princips
05:50 geert; i think that kind of happened basically enabling malicious utilization by a small few who dont care any dev but call shit security
05:51 t0talist; i think, software was in better shape 20 years ago, simply because, there was less of it to maintain
05:51 t0talist; much less lines of code
05:51 geert; yea lots piling is considered easier than rewriting to more efficient utilization
05:51 geert; that kind of rewriting really demands some thinking
05:51 t0talist; german wikipedia, notes detailed statistics for linux kernel... it's just insane, what they did
05:52 geert; 'moar storage room', 'moar memory', 'moar bogomips', man we got room to dev on and pile instead of rewrite and max efficient
05:52 geert; security biz got kind of 'income guarantee' this way too
05:52 t0talist; "security"
05:53 t0talist; well, the W^X patch i picked up for maintenance, with linux-5.10 ... that's a story of it's own again
05:53 t0talist; what this is, security
05:53 t0talist; and, i'll _never_ accept UEFI, i won't
05:54 geert; we got a severely compromised situation
05:54 geert; malicious money organization is not just affecting it development and developmers maliciously, stimulating in rather jeopardy than improve direction
05:54 geert; its also happening at faculties, many throughout the globe
05:55 t0talist; yes, and technically, it's neither possible to move forward, nor possible to roll-back; for technical reasons
05:55 geert; some are deliberately trying to keep students from seriously getting to know about subjects they consider probable threatening to state security
05:55 t0talist; "the state"
05:55 geert; information war simply means intelligence tryna take grass roots developments from whatever faculty if they think .mil potence.
05:56 geert; that state means simply the result of that 'hijacked politics'
05:56 t0talist; which one? in "germany"; the governmen here, itself, is an enemy to the state, constitutional enemies, and criminals
05:56 geert; money misorganization simply pays any state design, doesnt even matter if it called democracy or communism
05:57 geert; this money misorganization not paying best quality most, hence not capitalism, will not lead to best entrepeneurs getting most moneys
05:57 geert; so in short 'top dog position' moving away /stimulated away from 'top of bill mentality' without group
05:57 t0talist; the incentive structure is misguided too, to serve egomaniacs
05:57 geert; this top dog position tried hijack collective management, doesnt even matter in what systemic approach such as e.g. democratic
05:58 t0talist; nowadays, removing lines-of-code, had to pay-off
05:58 geert; any top dog position simply got more influence/aggressive lobby than any workers
05:58 t0talist; a move to linux-2.4/tcc; this alone, wipes almost 100million of it
05:58 geert; if its not top of bill mentality, they more willing hijack collective management because egoistic pushing one subjective above another
05:58 geert; politics were never able to withstand the pressure
05:58 geert; years ago already
05:59 geert; its just past years its becoming more obvious, effects are getting so hazardous that hiding because jeopardizing to their agenda
05:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
05:59 geert; means either try hide where workers cant counter anyway
05:59 geert; or stop hiding and 'compete on'
05:59 geert; as it seem to me
05:59 geert; the latter is picked, kind of
06:00 geert; who cares those fucking workers
06:00 geert; they cant do jack shit
06:00 geert; they dont even feel like they need 10%of the workers anyway with current tech perspective
06:01 geert; real tight code demands serious thinking man
06:01 geert; its a little bit like malformed state of law
06:02 geert; its easier to talk about rights, than duties
06:02 geert; making law about duties is more tight, but to get it seriously efficient and not regime, it demand tight thinking
06:02 geert; same with code
06:02 geert; they turn it around, rather pile than tight code
06:03 geert; tight code demand much thinking, to get new hardware dev implemented, takes more time and demands quite tight thinking
06:03 geert; then one get very very efficient code, but this is a very very different discussion where much more suggestion need to be thrown out
06:04 geert; slower dev, slower implementations, more difficult implementing new hardware
06:04 geert; they saw some perspective, and they thought 'money with the bugs' not just in 'security biz'
06:05 geert; state of law little bit similar
06:05 geert; real tight state of law dont work with 'rights', rather 'duties'
06:05 geert; but its less easy
06:05 geert; people just rather try easy and try disguise it behind calling state of law with duties 'regime favoring/stimulating' where that absoutely doesn't need be the case
06:06 geert; like pollution, now you got this and that so called right, and some pop up another poluting substance and then its legal until law defines forbidden.
06:07 geert; if one change that to duty, its by far not immediately police state or regime, but demands - like the code- much tighter thinking
06:07 geert; like 'duty to not pollute'
06:07 geert; 'duty to not steal'
06:07 geert; people chose easy man
06:07 geert; choose easy too
06:07 geert; generalized
06:07 geert; they try it until mess ENFORCES them to fix, it seem to me
06:08 geert; this fucking goons, many them

06:56 t0talist; i see, most kernel-internal interfaces were not prepared for unit32 timestamps, with linux-2.4 :(
06:57 t0talist; even when IBM HPFS used a custom time32 type as unsigned integer; kernel-internal APIs didn't support that
06:57 t0talist; for this, year 2014, a giant kernel patch was necessary, to support 32bit timestamps on filesystems until year2106 instead of year2038
06:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
07:01 Sompi; It's recommended to use time_t as the datatype for any variables that store unix time
07:02 t0talist; yes, and HPFS inside linux-2.4 is an exception to this rule, they intentionally chose unsigned instead of signed 32bit integer
07:02 t0talist; this requires a careful test; if HPFS would work, and can be used as root/boot filesystem
07:03 t0talist; because, backporting nilfs2, that's too much work, to stabilize and test this, initially, when other show-stoppers may quit the whole idea
07:04 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I just thought of another reason the landlord probably doesn't want anyone to know the building is being sold.
07:05 DaemonFC; Think about it. If they know the place is about to be sold, they can stop paying rent. He won't be able to evict them for non-payment once the new owners take over. They still owe the old landlord, but not the new one, so as long as they're good with the new one, nobody can evict them.
07:05 DaemonFC; The old landlord is just an unsecured debt collector now, and if he thought he had troubles before....
07:05 t0talist; i am not sure yet, if x86_64-tcc will work; i began with i386 testing, as a baseline, to verify if kernel will pass this, because there's many other problems to cope with, long before y2038
07:06 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], My couch broke. I'm going to try to limp by with it until I know if the landlord is selling or keeping and what's going on with our lease in November.
07:07 DaemonFC; If it gets renewed, I have them deliver a new couch and take this one off.
07:07 DaemonFC; If it doesn't, well, they can have a broken couch.
07:07 DaemonFC; Now isn't the time to buy a new couch and then maybe have to move with it in 6-7 months.
07:11 DaemonFC; I suppose I could also measure a new board out, cut it to fit down at the hardware store, and fix the couch myself with a drill/driver.
07:19 t0talist; allright, i386-tcc assembler, wasn't never capable to digest various asm inside linux-2.4 (for the bootcode stuff for example)

07:33 t0talist; it's weird, because i386-tcc assembler can't digest what a code-generate had output from C-to-ASM
07:34 t0talist; now i remember, susematz said, i386-tcc missed assembler support for 16bit (real mode iirc), which is what bootsector uses... aaargh
07:36 t0talist; this has some rather weird consequences, which is, to assemble 16bit realmode, for linux-kernel, you need some binutils-as and dozens of millions of lines of code and gnu buildsystem clutter; just for this, instead of the few thousand LoC that tcc is
07:37 t0talist; bootstrappable.org required a similar stunt, to assemble some of their earliest tiny hex-assembly artifacts of a dozen KiB only, they require llvm-assembler of dozens of millions of LoC
07:37 t0talist; see the irony of this?
07:39 t0talist; and this raises even more questions, about the whole bootstrapping and boot-sequence of x86, and the software infrastructure required outside legacy DOS
07:40 t0talist; because this is, where x86 was coming from.. cp/m DOS... and that's not free

07:45 t0talist; checking this quickly... $ arm-tcc linux/arch/arm/boot/bootp/init.S -o /tmp/init ... fails too, requires binutils-as, obviously
07:46 t0talist; allright... why is this bad?
07:47 t0talist; it's bad, because, by design, assembly requires a giant software-infrastructure (from GNU or llvm), which contradicts the idea, of assembly language, of small and efficient utilities, and clean bootstrapping
07:49 t0talist; to assemble a few bytes of a bootsector; dozens of millions of lines of code are required (GNU mostly), which itself got no clean bootstrapping path either
07:52 t0talist; allright... FASM, seems relatively clean... however this one may not digest the GNU gas assembly syntax inside linux kernel i fear

08:26 t0talist; that's another irony... i stumbled upon elsewhere... with german railway, who kept x.25, which is virtualized too (transport accross networks with additional layers below, which contradicted the idea)
08:26 DaemonFC; If that's France, which used to be famously not corrupt, we're fucked.
08:27 schestowitz[TR]; it's a wart
08:27 schestowitz[TR]; a war on old people
08:27 schestowitz[TR]; a war on people who worked for 40 years, expecting a pension later
08:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Maybe this is one area the US system is better.
08:27 schestowitz[TR]; thus, "Emergency"
08:27 schestowitz[TR]; it's war in the street

08:31 DaemonFC; Because all of a sudden, they can't buy food, the price of their rent triples, and they lose half their food stamps.
08:31 t0talist; to my knowledge life-expectency in USA, wasn't that low; although lower-income groups, suffer most, as usual, and die early often
08:31 DaemonFC; They have to come up with hundreds or thousands a month in medical bills, which by itself is more than a Social Security check.
08:31 DaemonFC; And so is rent.
08:31 DaemonFC; Food alone is about a third of the entire check!
08:32 DaemonFC; So what you'll see are a bunch of hungry old people being evicted and then they die.

08:34 DaemonFC; Or for Jan, which has to put up with him being there all the time.
08:34 schestowitz[TR]; in the us, it can be the same with old people
08:34 schestowitz[TR]; they become a burden on the kids
08:34 schestowitz[TR]; mostly medial expenses
08:35 t0talist; age-discrimination... that's political agitation
08:35 schestowitz[TR]; some say people have kids to look after them as they age
08:35 schestowitz[TR]; in the p[ast, it was to look after the farm or whatever
08:35 t0talist; all age-groups benefit from medical care, and health
08:35 schestowitz[TR]; child labour was also routine
08:35 t0talist; in fact, to grow old, stay healthy before
08:35 schestowitz[TR]; so birth-giving could mean extra workforce
08:36 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> I wonder how it feels for him to be stuck in the house for fear of COVID.
08:36 schestowitz[TR]; i would not say "fear"
08:36 schestowitz[TR]; it is arational

08:36 schestowitz[TR]; or post-covid
08:36 schestowitz[TR]; be it side effects of vaccines or long covid
08:37 schestowitz[TR]; in the uk in the first two months of this year we lost like 25k more people than pre----pandemic

08:45 schestowitz[TR]; but peopledo not need a lot of money
08:45 schestowitz[TR]; they need time
08:45 schestowitz[TR]; the scarcity is time
08:45 schestowitz[TR]; they don't get to keep the money when they die
08:45 t0talist; yes, that's true

08:46 schestowitz[TR]; tthey would wwork more
08:46 schestowitz[TR]; and already there are many out of work
08:46 schestowitz[TR]; let people tretire at 55

08:47 schestowitz[TR]; but they would not do this

08:47 schestowitz[TR]; greed.
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; die, die alreayd
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; you are "old"
08:47 t0talist; that's how it works, if people retire before official pension age, their pension is cut-down for each year
08:47 t0talist; schestowitz[TR]: people don't just die because of lower pensions or increased retirement age
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; what they have is many unemployed young people
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; and many people who want to stop working and cannot
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; how about replacing them
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; let the young take their jov
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; let the older people rest
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; and do something useful
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; until all the young have a right to work
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; and to make gainful activities
08:48 t0talist; uhm, sure.
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; <t0talist> schestowitz[TR]: people don't just die because of lower pensions or increased retirement age
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; they do
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; they "live" less
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; time worked if not time lived
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; it is time worked
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; for someone else
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; so they live less
08:49 schestowitz[TR]; and with lower pensions they cannot afford some basics, either
08:49 t0talist; the definition of living, is a different one, however
08:49 schestowitz[TR]; france has national health service
08:49 schestowitz[TR]; even if under strain

08:52 schestowitz[TR]; which applies here also btw
08:52 schestowitz[TR]; macron is working for banksters

08:54 t0talist; there was discussions already, in germany, to raise retirement age to 70
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; and this will spread outside france
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; already, in the uk, 55 became 58
08:54 t0talist; and there is an explanation for this: demographics
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; for "Easrly pension"
08:55 schestowitz[TR]; in the us dsome MAGA extremists wait to set it at 70
08:55 t0talist; better to say, there was... mass immigration was supposed to provide the qualitied workforce, to stabilize pension system in germany
08:55 schestowitz[TR]; while the life expectancy there falls 2 years
08:55 t0talist; which it, probably won't, it's probably more a burden
08:55 schestowitz[TR]; in just about... 2 years
08:55 schestowitz[TR]; to balance the budget cut military epsndings
08:55 schestowitz[TR]; stop bailing out banksters
08:55 t0talist; schestowitz[TR]: you forgto, the "baby boomer" generation

08:56 t0talist; that's the real deal, with the pension system

08:56 schestowitz[TR]; but they take it all out on "useless eaters"
08:56 schestowitz[TR]; people who wan tto stop going to work because they are frail
08:56 schestowitz[TR]; 67 year old people
08:56 schestowitz[TR]; who could give their job to someone younng
08:56 t0talist; and there's just no solution to this, in the end, there is no free-lunch, even when it's "higher productivity" nowadays
08:56 schestowitz[TR]; in the US few adults work
08:56 schestowitz[TR]; maybe 60%
08:56 schestowitz[TR]; in ages where they are work-capable
08:57 schestowitz[TR]; in korea and singapore they keep even 80 year old workers

11:43 XRevan86; > Because the msdos-style partitioning scheme does not support (with 512 byte sectors) hard disks that are larger than 2 TB, it also means that with these Acers non-Windows users cannot use hard disks larger than two terabytes.
11:44 XRevan86; Sompi
11:45 XRevan86; Sompi: Did ye know that every system with UEFI will also have "msdos-style partitioning"?
11:45 XRevan86; So that means no one can have a drive larger than 2 terabytes?
11:46 Sompi; One can always have a protective GPT or other partitioning scheme that pretends to be a msdos partition table while it actually isn't
11:47 Sompi; But it is just extra kludge
11:47 XRevan86; Sompi: It's what everyone does, it's a non-issue.
11:47 Sompi; It makes things more complicated than is needed

16:31 TR Bot; Crimes of Sirius Open Source - Techrights
16:51 t0talist; assembly languages, in principle, are a big problem, for free software
16:51 t0talist; because those are both, hardware-dependent of cause, and too different assemblers exist for each hardware-variant, with incompatible syntax
16:52 t0talist; that's why, GNU gas and binutils are desireable without doubt; however I consider the system integration and bootstrapping of GNU including binutils flawed
16:53 t0talist; several developers, who tried to support alternative toolchains/compilers with linux kernel, more or less, gave up on this
16:53 t0talist; don't quote me, those developers included, Bellard himself, susematz, and myself
16:54 t0talist; and the former, are much more proficient and competent with assembly hacking and bare metal programming than me
16:55 t0talist; linux kernel, chose to support llvm/clang even... imagining what a giant project this is, to cope with the particular problem of assembly included
16:56 t0talist; bootstrappable.org too chose llvm - a giant monstrosity of dozens of millions of LoC - to assemble a tiniest boot-loader for x86_64.bin of a dozen KiB assembly
16:56 t0talist; that's how, a tiny sparraw had to lay and hatch a gigantic tyrannosaurus egg; i call this the sparrow-tyrannosauris--egg-problem of bootstrapping and system-integration

16:57 TR Bot; [Meme] The Meme That Team UPC (the Collusion to Break the European Laws, for Profit) Threats to Sue Us For | Techrights
16:58 t0talist; i think, to cope with the bootstrapping problem of linux kernel (version 2.4 or any other); i must extensively dive into the whole x86 assembly programming realm
16:59 schestowitz[TR]; ^ crimes of the german government
16:59 schestowitz[TR]; and they now threatenn me
16:59 schestowitz[TR]; with copyrioghts
16:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
16:59 schestowitz[TR]; for pointing out the crimes
16:59 t0talist; and even then, i had to re-integrate GNU binutils (like Oasis Linux did, just for that reason; i tell you the oasis linux developer knows what he's doing)
17:00 t0talist; however, oasis linux didn't address various bootstrapping/system-integration issues, which i already solved or was working to solve those
17:01 t0talist; and i think, tcc-toolchain is/was a better starting point than cproc/qbe, because tcc implemented an assembler and linker too, which cproc/qbe is missing
17:02 t0talist; the good thing, with cproc-qbe, it already repaired the whole system-integration of binutils, which is one of the most important issues to solve, for GNU bootstrapping
17:03 t0talist; that's one reason why, bootstrappable.org, and any other, couldn't solve yet, hence their reliance on llvm to assemble their tiny x86_64.hex bootloading code
17:04 t0talist; mistake: *the good thing with Oasis linux, it already repaired the whole system-integration of binutils
17:05 psydroid2; assembly languages are a problem and instruction sets are a problem
17:05 psydroid2; when will this madness ever end??
17:06 t0talist; well, that's in fact something, GNU gas and binutils are relevant for, and desireable
17:06 t0talist; however, the system-integration of GNU itself is flawed, that's why i blocked it
17:07 t0talist; that's why, it is such a HUGE task, to practice both, x86(64) asm hacking, AND binutils system-integration (similar to how oasis linux did it)
17:08 t0talist; because, a powerful assembler that binutils got, is useless, if it can't be integrated; and just as said, the GNU build system itself, is a problem
17:09 t0talist; that's why, i want to avoid much of GNU, not because of it's license - GPL is fine as far as i am concerned - instead because of technical problems with GNU autohell
17:13 t0talist; and i tend to think, for x86(64), i may prefer FASM over binutils/gas; which required a rewrite of the bootsect.S and others
17:14 t0talist; that's a task, when a dozen lines of code to study and rewrite, may require weeks of study and work
17:17 t0talist; besides firmware, assembly programming, is another proprietary coffin nail drilled into "free software"

17:21 t0talist; most "free software" such as GNU and *BSD, just hide this problem, behind giant code-generators and macro-expanders (this is what compilers and assemblers are)

17:29 t0talist; and i see, since linux-2.6; the bootcode for x86/64 was re-implemented; linux-2.4 contained a bootsect.S file; and since 2.6 this was re-written completely
17:30 t0talist; so, just in case, i could repair the bootcode assembly for linux-2.4; and later decided to move forwared with linux-2.6/4.x/5.x; then again i had to rewrite/hack those parts
17:31 t0talist; and there's much assembly inside syslinux bootloader, which i am using (non-UEFI); that's another hackjob, to verify what's going on inside syslinux bootloader
17:35 t0talist; Bellard btw. invested much effort into qemu (to emulate/simulate x86[_64] with) ... no surprise, because hardware support
17:42 t0talist; and there was other nasty things going on with the transition of linux-2.4 -> 2.6; such as the dependency on gcc -S to emit GNU gas compatible assembly, for a yet unknown reason
17:44 t0talist; that's very tricky, because, you couldn't re-implement various asm parts, without removing the code-generator related parts (cmd_cc_s_c), which generated GNU gas specific code
17:44 t0talist; so both may have to be fixed, assembly, and the code-generator of gcc -S for this
17:44 t0talist; ouch
17:47 t0talist; to avoid this problem... you're stuck with linux-2.4 for a little while, to detangle from GNU; and linux-2.4 isn't year2038 ready
17:48 t0talist; IBM HPFS filesystem, may be tested on x86_64 to see, if this could surpass y2038 to y2106 on linux-2.4... chances are it may
17:49 t0talist; however, then linux-2.4 got other problems (such as the usb-ethernet and usb-host controller problems to assign an IRQ, which is broken, and the usb-ethernet dongles require backporting of drivers, just for this)
17:50 t0talist; that's years of work, just to salvage a linux development branch, which is deprecated for almost 20 years already, and for x86(64) _only_;
17:50 t0talist; for aarch32 and/or sparc[64] i am not aware of any free/open assembler implementation alternative to GNU gas...; and hardware is even more scarce
17:53 t0talist; sparc[64]; was the Airbus/EADS choice, little while ago... you see, how this ended... even when trillion cash business was involved...
17:54 t0talist; schestowitz[TR]: GNU/linux had not required to patent a single line of software or any hardware, and it's all locked and blocked still
17:55 psydroid2; you can write assembly code that doesn't use any of the generated parts
17:55 psydroid2; but you'll have to do it by hand, I suppose
17:56 psydroid2; because I don't know what GNU gcc -S generates and why
17:56 t0talist; yes; and even then, a whole bunch of blockers remain, to fork at linux-2.4, for x86_64 only(!)
17:56 psydroid2; and I have no incentive to find out
17:58 t0talist; and i see, linux-2.4 too uses gcc -S at many places; it's just bootsect.S isn't affected by this
18:00 t0talist; so, they're generating GNU gas specific assembly for *.c source files... aaarrrrgh
18:02 t0talist; at bare minimum, binutils system-integration had to be fixed, like Oasis Linux did it; and even then, pre-generated ASM files had to replace those inside linux kernel which are generated by gcc -S there; that's another ouch
18:03 t0talist; psydroid2: it's somewhat ironic, because C compilers were intended just for this, to abstract vendor-specific asm, to avoid ISA/vendor specific assembler... ludicrous
18:11 t0talist; tcc invested alot, to implement GNU extensions... they didn't implement a gcc -S equivalent, for an unknown reason
18:11 t0talist; and i don't know, why linux kernel, requires this

19:23 t0talist; at the time, when MS-DOS and CP/M were common, "open source", that was ASM, ideally commented

20:04 mjg59_; The firmware isn't encrypted
20:04 mjg59_; People have found vulnerabilities as a result of REing it
20:04 t0talist; and another example, i hacked some custom scrambler into squashfs compression... it's only three lines of C-code... and i am willing to bet, it requires months of work, to break-open my version of "secure boot"
20:05 mjg59_; Cool, want to send it to me?

20:07 t0talist; mjg59_: i don't disagree with you, in fact i consider cracking and reveng, alot of work and effort, which requires highly skilled hackers; and there isn't that many of them
20:08 mjg59_; t0talist: But remember that were you to ever publish a Linux kernel binary, you'd be obliged to distribute the source code to it as well
20:08 t0talist; mjg59_: LZ4 is BSD licensed... isn't it?
20:08 mjg59_; t0talist: Not when it's part of the kernel binary
20:08 mjg59_; The kernel, as a whole, is GPLed
20:09 mjg59_; Which is why it can only incorporate code under GPL-compatible licenses
20:09 t0talist; mjg59_: ok, yet GPL; i am not worried to publish sources, if you wished, you would still need the scrambler-seed... and i tend to think revealing passwords isn't subject to GPL
20:10 mjg59_; How is the seed passed to the kernel?
20:10 t0talist; -DSCRAMBLER_SEED
20:11 t0talist; i even got that hacked into IPsec stack, while ago, however, decided to abandon ipsec for other reasons, and hacked SSH instead, to support high-speed scrambling this way
20:11 mjg59_; So, firstly, extracting that from the binary would be trivial. And secondly, no, the source code requires you to provide the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable, which is understood to include the configuration required to generate an equivalent binary from the source
20:12 t0talist; mjg59_: wrong, it's NOT trivial
20:12 t0talist; and as things are currently, i don't publish nothing, no binaries, no sources
20:13 t0talist; otherwise, GPL doesn't abandon labor-market regulations either, for what i am doing... which is another legal aspect to this

20:24 t0talist; but forking, linux-2.4, for x86_64 (because year2038), _only_... i don't know, probably not
20:25 t0talist; and i wasn't aware sparch64 (sparc leon) hardware was readily available from Airbus/EADS
20:25 t0talist; and there's no free/open assembler for sparc64 to my knowledge, which fit into the acceptance criteria
20:26 t0talist; it's interesting too, pcc compiler, which OpenBSD supported little while ago... pcc did have sparc64, tcc hasn't got sparc64... another bingo
20:27 t0talist; so, yep, backtracking this, 1970s gigatron ttl Z80 type hacking, that's what remains
20:27 t0talist; at Deutsche Telekom university, i attended the Motorola 68K lecture, which was the latest greates free sh**t at that time
20:28 t0talist; meanwhile, it's rather difficult, to acquire 68K parts (used inside Eurofighter Typhoon according to wiki)
20:28 t0talist; 68k too was the Ti89 series calculator, which was introduced after 1990, in saxony... it's defunct nowadays
20:29 t0talist; i stumbled upon Texas Instruments elsewhere, which was the MSP430 for KNX radio stuff... none of this is free/open by the definition of it
20:31 t0talist; with KNX radio, it's only some numeric pin number iirc, to "reverse engineer" ... good luck with that, if you could pick up any of this above noise floor on a digital scope
20:31 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@n2v3s93fm6dp8.irc) has joined #techrights
20:31 phanes; ill never forget my little 68k performa macintosh
20:34 t0talist; i consider dirwolf, a high-profile project, although it too locked into c++ (cmake)
20:34 t0talist; with direwolf, you got access to ALL OSI-layers, in particular layer1 and layer2 (phsycial and link, which is what is firmware-blobbed almost always, the military/telco stuff)
20:35 t0talist; i mean, it's feasible, to establish Telco-infrastructure, with direwolf
20:36 t0talist; Gigatron TTL, got some sound/DSP stuff... and direwolf documents, how X.25 physical linking could be established, as soft-modem
20:36 t0talist; that's all, telco management of six-figure salaries... while i am sucking on unemployment paychecks, because...
20:37 t0talist; which is something, the most high ranking political prominence in "germany" couldn't grasp
20:38 t0talist; they'll regret it... it's billions of cash shredded
20:39 t0talist; the encryption expert, at telekom university, was a friendly person...
20:40 t0talist; in his lecture, he explained the weaknesses of PGP/RSA, 20 years ago
20:41 t0talist; i got some notes, which are useless
20:41 t0talist; it too was germany, who sponsored GPG, although i lost interest in GPG2
20:42 t0talist; GPG1 supports 8K RSA, it's a configure swithc only... weird, GPG2 doesn't anymore
20:42 t0talist; same with SSHv1... i think could utilize 8K RSA, SSHv2 abandones the support to scale this up
20:42 t0talist; that's the system-integration perspective of it
20:45 t0talist; so yeah, Telekom, AT&T, in retro-spective, i consider locking-down some parts, crucial, to protect freedom, to prevent some commercial interests, to pick up those parts
20:45 t0talist; that's management perspective, and there was rumors, some telco managers, weren't that dumb
20:45 t0talist; i'm playing stupid on this

20:56 mjg59_; There's no point in 8k RSA
20:56 mjg59_; For all viable known brute force attacks, 4K is more than sufficient
20:56 mjg59_; And if there's an unknown weakness, 8K is not going to save you
20:57 DaemonFC; Increasing the cipher strength is not always a great idea, if the algorithm itself is full of bugs or backdoors.
20:57 DaemonFC; In many cases, you just increase the workload on the system and then you're still gaining nothing past a certain point.
20:58 t0talist; mjg59_: wrong
20:58 DaemonFC; If the US federal government wants to break your encryption, I mean, God knows OpenSSL isn't going to help you.
20:58 DaemonFC; They're paying people to sabotage it.
20:58 DaemonFC; And those people are not competent anyway even if they weren't corrupt.
20:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
20:59 t0talist; mjg59_: i don't remember what the shortcut was, to weaken RSA brute-force, there is some
21:00 DaemonFC; The US dropped its "no export" law on "strong" crypto.
21:00 DaemonFC; There was no need for it anymore.
21:00 DaemonFC; They'd sabotaged it anyway and OpenSSL is such a horrible program.
21:00 t0talist; linear-feedback-shift-registers... aren't implement with linux kernel ... i did
21:00 DaemonFC; The entire program is basically a ruse.
21:01 t0talist; and added non-primitive recursion to this
21:01 t0talist; it's the fastest design ever
21:01 t0talist; and the strongest, even in 32bit
21:01 DaemonFC; It's designed to be insecure but it accomplishes this mostly by being full of dead and insane code that looks like it's just full of bugs and written by some deranged people.
21:01 DaemonFC; Which gives them deniability.
21:02 t0talist; however, LFSR, are the symmetric part, and the assymmetric one is related to SSHv1, GPGv1, which were phased out
21:06 t0talist; with all this: LFSR, RSA, ECB-mode, the trick is, this must be implemented correctly
21:06 t0talist; THEN, only then, it's safe and simple
21:07 t0talist; anyway, i was trained for telko management, not reveng, that's what i consider myself, telco manager
21:08 t0talist; although, we did dissect EVERYTHING, down to digital circuitry level
21:08 t0talist; nowadays, ... i see nukes dropping, over what this is, nowadays
21:09 t0talist; i was the best student, year 2001, digital circuitry
21:10 t0talist; Prof. Dr. Dipl. Ing. Egon Hilt, designer of ESA earth observation satellite systems
21:10 t0talist; Berlin University
21:11 t0talist; however, it was more maths
21:11 t0talist; and i failed miserably, the equivalent of MIT signal processing lecture, of analog circuitry, it was just TOO MUCH
21:11 t0talist; in parallel, to all the other mental garbage dumped into the brains
21:12 t0talist; i am the manager, missing at SVB and credit suisse, who, 20 years later, have to bail-out on trillions of cash wasted
21:14 t0talist; if i operated a Bank, i knew, where money had to be routed
21:14 t0talist; billions of it
