asciilifeform: and N kernels being run instead of 1 (each of which thinks that it owns an actual iron comp)
asciilifeform: you have now N instances of the multi-GB garbage shitpile that is modern linux, instead of 1, in memory.
asciilifeform: basic problem remains, if each inhabitant is given illusion of 'i have a comp', this is not free
asciilifeform: but i have not personally tried
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: afaik that's more of an asymmetric-multiprocessing flavour of thing
ben_vulpes: it's been some time since i gave a shit but the 'docker' folks were very proud of the resource sharing that linus wrote for them
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: does the 'cgroups' 'containerization' sharedhosting approach waste the same amount?
mircea_popescu: it's the pantsuit gift of "progress", tends to soak up about 60% of the living life to do nothing at all. much like their tax system.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: correct. what do you suppose duplicate multi-GB linuxen in ram at all times, cost nothing ??
mircea_popescu: which 60% can also be used to... you know, buffer the occasional mass mysql rewrite or w/e user needs
asciilifeform: this is 1) costly , vmization imposes continuous context-switching for cpu, even with the acceleration garbage it is ruinous 2) pointless, because readily 'escaped' from
mircea_popescu: yes, i expect 60% of the box goes to that wastage by now.
asciilifeform: back to the 'let's remove pretenses' -- let's put on record for the log: the 'traditional' style of vps is quite heavy in overhead, because pointlessly emulates for each inhabitant 'you have a i-cant-believe-its-not-a-physical-box-with-physical-nic-and-disks-etc' item ☟︎
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-22 17:18 ben_vulpes: can we leverage chroot for this?
ben_vulpes: yo trinque can i get you to opine on http://logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro?d=2018-3-22#317403 please
mircea_popescu: well if you're not using it to publish web shits, get a proper box.
asciilifeform: but once you introduce 'i want to run XYZ' -- can eat
asciilifeform: in scenario where the only user proggy is apache -- correct, cannot eat
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how will anyone eat all the ram, apache runs as nobody anyway.
asciilifeform: 'hose' perhaps was poor word. more of a 'root MUST come and fix because d00d decided to eat all of cpu' in box without quota-'fascism'
ben_vulpes: heh, this'll turn into our bitbet moderation cost center without care
mircea_popescu: not even sure what it'd take, but we could have a competition, "shorters bash line that hoses box"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've not yet managed to properly speaking hose a modern box (hosed as in, root can't log in to fix it)
asciilifeform: in asciilifeform's experience with shared unix boxen in youth, the most typical problem is not 'seekritz' but 'hamfist hoses the box'
asciilifeform: 'if there ain't any entropy, there wont be any fucking output, take it or leave'
mircea_popescu: makes for spectacularly improved items, too.
asciilifeform: in general engineering practice, one of the very few good heuristics asciilifeform knows for 'improve X' is 'discard pretenses'
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes depends what host. a blog ? i dunno man, what sikrits can they glean!!!!
mircea_popescu: if there's actual demand for some reason, can always stand up a box with all that crap later. or entreprising fellow can just resell one.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: tru tru; what objections would you field to sharing a host with l2?
mircea_popescu: use linux accounts. the "isolation" bs is bs.
jhvh1: ben_vulpes: The operation succeeded.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-22 17:08 asciilifeform: i for instance do not see why , if it's wot l1 people living in it, it has to expend the cpu overhead to pretend-isolate and vm-ize. why not simply traditional unix accounts.
ben_vulpes: !~later tell hanbot drop by #pizarro sometime soon and opine re http://logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro?d=2018-3-22#317360 please
mircea_popescu: yues, fucking obviously, kuhn's notion of "paradigm" in research is precisely that, what beds to not look under.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: doing things correctly also implies knowing what hairballs of stupid to cut off and not consider.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ok, but it's not DIRECTLY obvious, this.
mircea_popescu: indeed, this may be the first shared prior unearthed yet. but it's solid.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: yeah i care quite deeply about folks clicking links with b58 encoded piles of trash in the url
douchebag: Good, I'm glad someone is on the same page as me.
mircea_popescu: yes douchebag. the whole point is to do things right.
ben_vulpes: why bother fucking if your dick's going to pop out?
mircea_popescu: ahahaha he got you there didn't he ?
douchebag: Wouldn't it make sense to make sure you're doing something the right way before you go ahead and do it? ☟︎
asciilifeform: douchebag: since you do not read logs, you may be surprised and interested to find out that folx like you show up regularly, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-24#1632239 ☝︎
douchebag: ben_vulpes: Why do you write web applications if you're going to allow vulnerabilities in your code?
ben_vulpes: man i can't even find the juice to beat this kind of thinking into the heads of people at $work; they gotta come preconfigured for utility
ben_vulpes: not to insult your trade, but to try and hammer home the paradigms you're missing
ben_vulpes: douchebag: until you wrap your head around what goes on here, you're going to be fighting this negative impression where you insist that you're smart and educated etc, just...not in any topics that anyone here cares about eg trb as a basis for murdering the megastate and all barnacles like ecommerce/ssl/securitycircus hanging off the side
asciilifeform: it is not insult to intelligence, either. technicians have a place. but douchebag gotta decide which it is that he wants to be, and stop pretending to be the other.
asciilifeform: technician -- told. 'my tv lost vertical raster, tell me what do'
asciilifeform: this is why 'technician'. an actual adept does not have to be told.
ben_vulpes: i thought this was too obvious to point out, did not want to further insult douchebag's intelligence
shinohai: Because the Republic isn't in the business of tard wrangling?
douchebag: I just don't see what was so damn difficult about that? If you guys told me to look for RCE in trb this conversation could have ended hours ago
a111: Logged on 2018-03-22 16:41 douchebag: "i don't know how you think you know better what to do with your time than mp"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-22#1788650 << this is also interesting. note however it's misstated. whether you know better or not what to do with your time is not generally touched ; but you sure as fuck don't know better what NOT to do with your time, which is time and again the crux of the matter. ☝︎
asciilifeform: point being that a student who is tired of 'solved problems' can demonstrate mastery any time he's ready and able. ☟︎
douchebag: Okay, I'll look into that.
asciilifeform: douchebag: then you have various options. and you don't need me or anyone to tell you what these are.
mod6: then tell us for christsakes
douchebag: Okay, suppose I can get remote code execution w/ trb
asciilifeform: i dun think more than a week has gone by, at any point since trb first proclaimed , when trb was not mentioned in some way
ben_vulpes: douchebag: if you cannot read through thebitcoin.foundation website and get to trb i do not know what future there is for you
mod6: I have personally, at least, posted 'thebitcoin.foundation' in here 196 times.
ben_vulpes: also i don't give one watt of credence to this 'no time' thing; i've read logs daily for what, four years? started and sold out of a company, had more than one 'job' at points, manage a family and still keep up and contribute
a111: Logged on 2018-03-22 16:37 douchebag: How am I projecting? You're the ones who are acting like you're somehow better because you have different interests.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-22#1788649 << this is actually very true ; if theres a predicate for republican superiority, is the better choice of interests. ☝︎
shinohai: >Can't be annoyed to read logs, yet "can sit in front of computer 36 hours straight researching a specific topic"
mod6: i gotta look this up now
douchebag: I didn't get a link to trb.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i suspect that 'chukcha is not a reader, he is a writer'
ben_vulpes: no fucking way anyone's going to try to enumerate the holes in your education
ben_vulpes: douchebag: you did just get a link to trb
douchebag: "read the logs"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "here is everything". he was promised his context is universal by teh universalist party.
douchebag: ben_vulpes: How am I supposed to take anything in here seriously if nobody can tell me anything besides
ben_vulpes: douchebag: see dude this is why i can't take you seriously, you have zero context for what's going on here and yet you insist on strutting around as though you matter
douchebag: mod6: not in full, I don't have a ton of time on my hands to read 6 months of logs
mod6: you can't say that you read the logs, and also do not know where trb is or what it is.
mod6: you have never read the logs 'eh
asciilifeform: douchebag: therealbitcoin.org
asciilifeform: douchebag: will be taken seriously quite quickly.
asciilifeform: douchebag: why limited to 'web framework' ? if you consider yerself fit for work in hard/unsolved problems -- why not go and find remotely exploitable boojum for trb
a111: Logged on 2018-03-22 16:41 douchebag: "mp is better than you; stop pretending like he isn't"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-22#1788651 << amusingly enough, i'm probably a better "website security" dood than you, if that's what you mean, or at least so the folk in the know believe, on the strenght of the various website fuckings / wp ddos writeups etc i've piled up over the years. but this is a little like disputing the sackrunning competition. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: douchebag no, actually : we are explicit about the [little] we feel good about ourselves. the "alternative" such as it misrepresents itself, is very successfully implicit about how [grandiosely] it feels good about itself. but somehow you don't go up to some clueless dork pretending to run a "security business" and be "your boss" and ask him whence he feels that insanely overstretchedkly good about himself. for SOME reason.
mod6: douchebag: did you ever build trb?
asciilifeform: douchebag: didja ever go to school of any sort ? did they give you Great Unsolved Problems to solve in school ? or old, solved ones ?
douchebag: but instead you jerkoffs just told me to write a v implementation
asciilifeform: douchebag you trained as a technician and the tubes you trained on are on their way out. sad (for you) but true. consider learning something else.
douchebag: No, I figured that maybe I could help more
ben_vulpes: this "all hobbies are equally valid" thing ain't gonna carry water fwiw
douchebag: No, I came here so that I could help.
douchebag: Oh yeah, and I'm the one projecting.
douchebag: danielpbarron said this earlier
a111: Logged on 2018-03-22 16:26 douchebag: Well, I've been paid thousands of dollars in bug bounties. All of which I have found manually.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 06:53 douchebag: I also have an extremely good memory compared to most people, I can remember very specific details about events and conversations that happened years prior
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 06:43 douchebag: I can sit in front of my computer for 36 hours straight researching a specific topic
douchebag: "mp is better than you; stop pretending like he isn't" ☟︎
