asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i am not interested in glomming 45 shells into one soup pot.
asciilifeform: phf: this works when ALL you want is to tail log
asciilifeform: not only watching, but occasionally interacting with particular box.
asciilifeform: why the fuck would i want it in a single file
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is not watching 45 processes.
asciilifeform: phf: dafuq i want with 'find a square somewhere'. i want this scrolling log RIGHT HERE, on display #3, under the other log for other boxes, and this one gets 2cm because it is not esp. important.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: install a couple square metres of lcd and write back.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i won't use anything but a tiling wm.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most of this stuff we will be, painfully, redoing from ~zero.
asciilifeform: this - admittedly - is a subjective observation. take, or leave, whatever.
asciilifeform: when i dig for the essential core of some proggy with version history going back to '90s, typically i walk away with distinct feeling that reading the post-2003 or so tarballs was entire waste of time.
asciilifeform: presumably it lives in the 'interesting stuff' room, where snowden never went.
asciilifeform: does not prove the non-existence, sure.
asciilifeform: mats: inference from 1) no one has yet to publicly hear of an orc with linux desktop 2) not one piece of exploit kit related to such has yet leaked out of usg.
asciilifeform: in fact, iirc it is no longer even necessary to have actual dope, there are folks doing time for packets of sugar and flour.☟︎
asciilifeform: so, as i understand, if arrestee were carrying extract in his pocket, and it were to rain, and the water pools in the pocket... he will be tried for entire mass, original + rainwater.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller may recall a recent thread on american dope laws, where if someone is found with, e.g., extract in intermediate (still dilute) stage, the sentence will be as if entire volume of liquid were the pure dope.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: what is the point of extracting it ?
asciilifeform: 'MistyVeal cannot call out on the network on its own. It piggybacks on Internet Explorer to call out on the network. ... If a target is using FireFox and has MistyVeal on the box, MistyVeal does nothing.'
asciilifeform: and how the fuck do you wash the 'pigfuck' tool.
asciilifeform: is it really so painful to grease joints ?
asciilifeform: we distilled when i went to school, rig looked entirely like this but made of jointed condenser, tubes, etc. that were from standard kit.
asciilifeform: what i don't get is why the thing needs to be a unitary piece of glass
asciilifeform: preferable to growing fat on conditional mcdonalds.
asciilifeform: mats: nobody gives a fuck re 'oppressed'. a bullet in the head of maniac with axe is a gift to everyone he might have otherwise run into, regardless of whether possibly somewhere there are others like him, not yet shot.
asciilifeform: how many users left today of 'terrorist' os, where you can (and must) rebuild ALL of the binaries locally ?
asciilifeform: it stands to reason that at some point the saw blades will reach the middle.
asciilifeform: currently they have folks sawing in convergent directions, microshitians to 'linuxize', embrace, extend, e.g., the powershell derps; and poetterings to winblowiate linuxland, e.g., systemd.
