gernika: ok not
a virus but malware
gernika: asciilifeform - I haven't tried it. Running it on an old thinkpad. Got msdos 6.2 working in parallels - but parallels is literally
a virus.
assbot: Logged on 01-09-2015 01:29:13; asciilifeform: no one is banning linux. instead there is
a 'linux foundation' (see log) which will sign 'legit, non-terrorist' kernels for you
mircea_popescu: in local news, argentina GDP fell 4.9% today because one of the lengthy queues accidentally merged with its own ending, resulting in 84`755 people spending an average of 8 hours following
a very intricate 12 mile pattern through town for no apparent purpose.
phf: what isn't. at some point freedos was legit in
a poc||gtfo kind of way, i.e. "we did it for the lulz", but now it's positioned as the only legitimate way to run dos programs. that you of course purchased from GoG.
phf: at some point you had SAIL and Augment basically design by men for men, lisp machines, xerox park as products of that. later you get two bit hacks selling imperfect copies of the glimpsed technology, thats your 80s and 90s. at this point there's already "no grasp", but the control is limited, basically
a byproduct of commercialism. now you get the next stage, which is when the bureaucrats are getting involved
phf: that's not
a problem that i'm facing though, since i don't know of diddle diesel engines (i'm sure they are but..)
phf: while china is playing catch up, you get
a computing equivalent of wild west with areas where the control simply didn't have resources to manifest, as soon as u.s. stops driving chip design, china will start closing up same holes u.s. is in the process of closing up right now
phf: it's
a common thread here, the whole rise of "open" as true openness disappears. to paraphrase snl skit, "our hardware is maker open - what does that mean? - not open"
punkman: I never mixed the thing myself, but I saw
a kid make
a pretty big fireball once
phf: i thought twice before googling "негашеная известь бомба" just now, pretty sure on
a list at this point. thought i suspect hanging out on b-
a does that too
mod6: i've kinda heard this too - you buy
a word from them that hits on certain brain based reactions. something like that.
phf: growing up on
a dacha i remember putting quicklime (calcium oxide) into sealed containers with water. one time
a friend of mine got his vein opened with glass shrapnel, my grandfather drove him to
a hospital and that was the extent of drama, no national news, no "dangers of quicklime", no concerned mothers calling for bans
mod6: ok i'll give it
a whirl.
ben_vulpes: anyways, simplify routines/fix oddities/tidy up implies
a 'git' style megapatch. u vant it should be engranularized?
ben_vulpes: "Memoize" means to store in memory during the course of
a run?
trinque: ascii_field: I'll tell you what
a professional pythonista does...
kakobrekla: occasionally i check the buffer and remove the bad ones, the good ones get re-read the next time and when i feel strongly enough about the one waiting the longest i approve
a batch, as deep as it goes
kakobrekla: not at all, but i have
a process for approving bashes
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 25-06-2015 21:47:45; assbot: Logged on 03-02-2015 23:43:58; asciilifeform: winnie pooh walks into
a butcher's shop, asks 'got mortadella' ? answer, 'sure' winnie pooh draws
a submachinegun and spins round, round, round with it, mowing down everything that moves: 'for piiigleet!'
mircea_popescu: you conversely can't have
a trillion worth of cake and ten dollars in cash.
mircea_popescu: you can't have
a trillion worth of dollars and ten dollar's worth of cake.
mircea_popescu: (the driver of inflation is the circumstance that in any economy, the monetary value of circulating capital and the monetary value of goods sit in
a certain, fixed proportion)
mircea_popescu: re s.mg report : that game's actually getting an economy and everything! macro variables visible,
a money/goods raport emerges, whatnot
trinque: something like that, sentence is
a little weird
pete_dushenski: the whole point of this b-
a/bitcoin experiment is to shoot the fun people in the heads with their own no-so-funny bullets, neh
trinque: ah come on, what's life without
a little compulsory genital modification?
pete_dushenski: "On Feb. 28, Jen Henderson, 23, became the sole registered voter living within the community improvement district, or CID, meaning she is the only person who would vote on
a half-cent sales tax increase for the district."
trinque: the dumb stars became
a trend in the last ten years or so
mircea_popescu: trinque the tattoo is not as much of
a problem as the bs string. "really needed" because omg
mircea_popescu: dbus needs network connectivity to maintain
a list of ddos ips.
punkman: etcd is
a distributed k-v store thingy
ascii_field: all this also tastes great ! with
a balanced diet of that gui-in-kernel-just-like-microshit that was being pushed to replace x11
trinque: so not sql, but yes
a networked database for config
trinque: well hell, that CoreOS (which is
a breeding ground for systemd nonsense) has etcd
punkman: "
A demonstration of the D-Bus problem is the recent Jeep hack by researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek. The root problem was that D-Bus was openly (without authentication) accessible from the Internet."
punkman: trinque: it has been used to exploit
a Jeep
trinque: meanwhile dbus really should have network connectivity (I'm going out on
a limb assuming it still does not)
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 19:50:10; asciilifeform: my grandfather had
a dacha. it did not come with
a toilet, so he built one. outhouse thing, but with an actual toilet that flushed instead of the customary shit pit. this is relevant, because:
mircea_popescu: "but who comes from
a country where they own
a pony to
a non-pony owning country!"
trinque: perhaps that's overly broad. I understand there to have been
a time where one could experiment with radio equipment or do chemistry in their garage without being arrested.
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2015 17:50:20; trinque: time to accept that you're
a criminal merely by being
a thinking person.
trinque: I have
a pile of tp-links; they're ok
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2015 16:34:16; mike_c: that's always
a dangerous posture when the baby wakes up and decides to eat
trinque: shinohai: one of those TP-Link guys will turn
a 4g connection into
a local hotspot
trinque: yeah, I'll admit it's
a pain in the ass
mircea_popescu: some people dun wanna run servers. i know i spent
a while deliberately not doing it.
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2015 16:27:30; pete_dushenski: jurov: b-
a pretty much lit the fuse for his conception, at least or so i theorise
shinohai: that is correct. When I finish this install I got going I'll try to make
a new addy
mircea_popescu: my point is, if your email provider is eating your emails, try
a different one.
assbot: Let's address some of the more common pseudo-arguments raised by the very stupid people that like the Gavin scamcoin proposal on Trilema -
A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

ascii_field: can't wait for the usg yottahash mining farm where you need
a signature from hitler to get your tx baked into block
ascii_field: anyway thing is made in such
a way that operator is forced to remain aware of what patch set he is pressing
mircea_popescu: really more
a matter of style than anything, your own ml does include your own todo iirc
ascii_field: ^ perhaps i ought to explain. picture
a patch mid-flow whose seal is annulled (removed, even if temporarily, from .wot)
ascii_field: (it is possible to live without them, yes. but folks who try to display
a broken flow graph will see ???)
ascii_field: well yes. but i put it in for
a reason, because there are several things which i consider important which presently do not work correctly.
mircea_popescu: now it's 1200
a day. and all that chewing paste and toothgum is there because they run the fucking bots in java
mircea_popescu: maybe i should stop being such
a terrorist "destabilizing the situation"
trinque: I called american messaging about
a pager... 400 message limit
a month then overage, but at least they are up-front about it
mircea_popescu: punkman obviously the people in question left
a tracker on continuously.
ascii_field: understanding being that there is nothing bandwidth-heavy to do on
a pocket phone
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> t-mobile ~specifically~ pushes itself as 'we don't have
a tonnage limit!!111' << This they advertise X speed for first Y transfer and after that max tonnage at best effort speed
ascii_field: t-mobile ~specifically~ pushes itself as 'we don't have
a tonnage limit!!111'
mircea_popescu: as i somehow suspect that rate comes with mbps after
a number.
