asciilifeform: not to mention lets any and all-comers hog sockets for as long as they can come up with fresh ip
asciilifeform: it is a little bit funny to talk of bogdown and dos 'vulnerability' in a proggy that happily does o(n) operations at the request of allcomers
trinque: rce isn't the only thing that'd be interesting, even cpu bog-down or mem usage DoS would be relevant to staying at the front of the chain. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: "audits can only show presence of holes, never the absence" or how did it go
trinque: and obviously that wouldn't be reason to develop a false sense of security either.
ben_vulpes: today's marvelous self-licking ice-cream-cone: surgeon general suggests that everyone near to folks at risk for overdosing on fentanyl and friends carry naxalone. i for one can't wait to see what the new equilibrium intake rate is without mortality risk looming.
trinque: ftr if the report is "trb's deps are not susceptible to any known RCE" that'd be a fine thing to see written up too
trinque: gotta give the guy worthwhile targets to see
trinque: asciilifeform: in general you're probably right, though in general not most are persistent enough to join the republic.
asciilifeform: ave1: then too soon to say that it was magicked away
ave1: well shipping from US has taken anything from 1 to 4 weeks in the past
asciilifeform: went out on mar. the 22.
asciilifeform: ave1: unrelatedly, iirc you're the one who was lucky winner of 1 phree FG ? didja get it yet ?
asciilifeform: appears to be harmless, the retry-read always succeeds
asciilifeform: ave1: we had just the other day a thread re 'gnat pro'. it's interesting, in principle, but i sure as fucking daylight ain't ever signing nonredistribution oaths for a compiler ☟︎
asciilifeform: or do i misunderstand the q
a111: Logged on 2018-04-04 19:52 asciilifeform: meanwhile on the chinesium front, asciilifeform was pretty close to throwing out the 'rockchip' this morn., when saw that every few hrs it read-retries the sd flash. but apparently harmless eggog: comes from certain sad levelling firmwares , they cannot keep up with the host
ave1: btw, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-04#1792937, how do you notice something like that? ☝︎
ave1: asciilifeform, I can only find gnats for ubuntu/debian and alpine linux. Also GNAT pro seems to support arm64.
asciilifeform: fwiw it dun hurt to try. ftr, asciilifeform's orig interest in reading the src, long before even running into mircea_popescu et al , was precisely this.
asciilifeform: considering the very tangible win from any such thing, going back years
asciilifeform: trinque: theoretically 'every private has a marshal's baton in his knapsack', but realistically it is not esp. likely that 'popping trb' had to wait for this 1 d00d to turn 19 or what he was. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ave1: the surprising bit is the total absence of any mention of a working gnat for arm64 ( despite it being a quite common chip for several yrs )
asciilifeform: ave1: i did one for mips ( never properly tested tho ) a few yrs back
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 03:17 asciilifeform: but annoying that nobody seems to have ever published one or mentioned the existence.
ave1: asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793119, with this script http://ave1.org/2018/building-gnat-on-musl-now-with-a-signature/ it is possible to build a cross compiler for aarch64, I will try to use this cross-compiler to then create a native compiler. ☝︎☟︎
trinque: (and obviously, ~I do not use the trb wallet~)
trinque wonders if douchebag realizes what useful work it'd be, to know how easily trb nodes can be popped, given that the wallet will of course have to be sitting right there, with same permissions, on same box, and etc ☟︎
ben_vulpes: don't want to distract you from your trinquechores tho
ben_vulpes: douchebag: oh candi_lustt is eminently poppable btw, wonder if you can figure out how to
deedbot: ben_vulpes paid trinque invoice 4
lobbes: Ah yes, "moderate rebels". Man, it'd be lulzy to have a timeline of various fishwrap lifecycles. E.g. "hole in ozone layer" > "global warming" > "climate change" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the moderate rebels of syria, shooting rockets at the elected government. an' the moderate rebels of ukraina, shooting rockets at civillian airplanes.
asciilifeform: lobbes: got replaced in the Official fishwraps with 'moderate rebels' (tm)(r)
mircea_popescu: back in the 90s inca had a brief momentary delusion of security, in the vein of http://trilema.com/2016/consumerism-is-not-the-answer-though-it-will-put-you-to-sleep-or-american-history-x/
mircea_popescu: by now too dangerous.
lobbes: Incidentally, anyone remember the term "freedom fighter"? I.e. "terrorist that is aligned with the Empire". Almost never heard in Incan media anymore it seems
asciilifeform: ( they show up via pnoje )
asciilifeform: in other lulz, 3 nukefest publicalert tests within 1 hr in washingtonistan
BingoBoingo: It appears to be. Looking into it
mircea_popescu: * mircea_popescu has changed the topic to: You have reached the public forum of The Most Serene Republic, a terrorist organisation dedicated to the creation of a safe space for the elites to productively defect to, leaving the pantsuit stranded behind. If you'd like to help see http://trilema.com/2016/how-to-participate-in-the-affairs-of-the-most-serene-republic/ . This channel is logged.
mircea_popescu: ah i guess that didn't get logged. here :
mircea_popescu: lol so in the end ns1/ns2.qntra.net are the pizarro nameservers ? ☟︎
lobbes: Archive PSA: Semi-automatic archiving has resumed via my "manual" pulling of the crank at irregular intervals as a temporary "stop gap" solution. Fully automatic archiving to resume once I plug my security holes and build a sane parser for urls
asciilifeform: ( to be fair, not as if there was or is any working alternative. but -- swamp. )
asciilifeform: thing suffers the consequences of being part of the gcc backend swamp.
mircea_popescu: #ada is asleep ; and in other lulz dbotton disappeared. (guy used to run getadanow.com, maybe still does)
mircea_popescu: avoidable. sooner or later the bootstrap problem kicks in.
asciilifeform: downright african, that thing is
asciilifeform 'seekritly' aims to break the 'need gnat to gnat' circle of nonsense
mircea_popescu: are the policeman intelligent or strong ?
mircea_popescu: other than that, there's also the spoon+swamp of "get sorta-gnat compiled on arm64 freebsd, use that to compile real gnat, use that to..."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform indeed ; the easiest target is the upperclass housewife.
mircea_popescu: technologists are universally treasonous, that's fundamentally what the word means, a new face on the old "bastard", son of no father. they might go for it.
asciilifeform: potentially interesting, i did not to date consider it. dun forget tho that they get ~infinite pile of printolade from lockheed, boeing, et al.
mircea_popescu: adacore is perhaps the closest contemporary approximation ; why not pay them a little for their pompous if economically dysfunctional "moneymaker" and then brazenly ask them to help you ruin the whole thing ?
mircea_popescu: just... here's the political reasoning : symbolics went to shit ~in part~ because nobody was there to corrupt the idiots involved into turning arms against the empire of stupid that spawned them and stab it in the back.
mircea_popescu: that';s the point, the support contract. can ask gingold and actually expect an answer, as opposed to hope for one.
mircea_popescu: want to ? and what subject ?
asciilifeform: btw turned out, asciilifeform's pet was semiregular entomo-reader of subj
mircea_popescu: anyway, im pretty sure the adacore people were fucking around with arm64 at some point. maybe asc gingold or someone ?
mircea_popescu: hey, check out the blogger from ealirer, there's enough stream of consciousness commentary there to last a legion of talk therapist.
mircea_popescu: so that;s why "nobody has published". thousand eyes don't do work.
asciilifeform: this goes right back to the 'buy five moar, or throw the 1 out !' megadilemma.
mircea_popescu: seems certain it'll be one of those intermediate-steps-bootstrapping deals.
asciilifeform: but annoying that nobody seems to have ever published one or mentioned the existence. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: alternatively, freebsd had a thing for arm64 that may be able to compile a gnat capable to compile your gnat ?
asciilifeform: approx as useful as the x86 one lol
asciilifeform: it dunwork on arm64. just tried.
asciilifeform: aa the arm-eabi-.* bareboard thing
asciilifeform: where's the gnat for it tho
mircea_popescu: listen. the zynq is a 64 board ; and it's in the adacore's list of somewhat supported packages.
asciilifeform: arm64 gnat does not appear to exist anywhere, nor anyone publicly mentioned having build one afaik.
asciilifeform: arm32 is not hard to find. but doesn't help any in building a working arm64 gnat ( at least no more than working copy of stock x86-64 gnat )
asciilifeform: pogo for that matter is also an arm7 (32)
asciilifeform: aa that -- that's what they stuffed into recent xilinxen in place of the old ppc core
mircea_popescu: is the z7000 also 32 ?
asciilifeform: ( and , on top of this, 'bare' is very different animal from linux )
asciilifeform: i.e. nuffin to run.
asciilifeform: ( that it gotta happen on another machine , is a give, given the impossibility of building a gnat without a working gnat )
asciilifeform: no dice re how to even begin to produce an arm64 gnat.
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/the-letter/ << Trilema - The Letter
mircea_popescu: oh, wait, wait. by being this wikitard style of participative democratic cow. i forgot.
mircea_popescu: "An advertisement costs $250/month or $1250/6 months, plus an extra $50 if you want me to design it for you. Ads can expect about 10,000 to 20,000 impressions per day. Past ads that were interesting and well-targeted have gotten about five hundred clickthroughs in their first week, followed by a steady fifty clickthroughs per week thereafter." jesus christ, and ~nobody reads it on top of everything else. how the fuck do you g
mircea_popescu: he reads to me like someone on antipsychotic medication. maybe at some point in his youth he was intelligent, i guess, but by now i'd much rather listen to the barristas. at least they giggle.
mircea_popescu: he's not technically on the level of the literate-since-yesterday redditard, but he's very much on the level right above that -- zero intellectual curiosity (in spite of a lot of meta herp derping about it), absolutely no critical ability whatsoever, a complete inadherence to humor, metaphore, rhetorical device, subtext, any sign of an intellectual life whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: i managed to get to point X of his ENDLESS "i can tolerate anything except the outgroup" "recommended article", after going through another two or three items placed higher on his list of self-recommendations ; but eventually my patience was exhausted.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-31 16:40 mircea_popescu: i would really like a list of "all personal blogs older than a decade" right about now.
mircea_popescu: aaaanyway, my original curio in http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-31#1791647 is very much resolved. take the scott alexander fellow from above : he's been around for long enough, writes frequently enough, meets all the other criteria implied in the request. he's very VERBOSE too, and utterly fucking unreadable. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in simple terms, the terrorists long ago won all possible battles. they're just not who you thought would be the terrorists.
mircea_popescu: douchebag have you perchance read http://trilema.com/2016/to-be-clear-hillary-clinton-lost-the-presidential-election-on-june-16th-2016/ ? because you might be selling cabbage to the gardners.
douchebag: Cyber Warfare is a real deal, and it's going to continue getting more serious
BigTexasBingo: Mircea_popescu chance of posturing. Requires more digging. Possibly lulz blooming in the coming weeks, but likely no less than 10 days
mircea_popescu: anyway. some of the classical atenian poets stopped the rain. heck, one even sang his way into hell. he didn't actually accomplish anything down there, but he ALMOST did.
douchebag: Muslims plotting terrorists attacks
mircea_popescu: douchebag as above : according to whom, "the terrorists" ?
douchebag: mircea_popescu: Some of the people I have on my stoppped terrorism via hacking
mircea_popescu: BigTexasBingo link where trump says anglin did something ?!
BigTexasBingo: (+mircea_popescu) BigTexasBingo according to mexico ? or the honduran refugees ? << According to developing trumpism and Mexico
mircea_popescu: basically, you're engaging in the up to date equivalent of the athenian poetry competition.
