asciilifeform: 'if there ain't any entropy, there wont be any fucking output, take it or leave'
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? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-24 03:17 gabriel_laddel_p: BingoBoingo: "I should study more" isn't a winning idea. GTFO.
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
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: douchebag: then you have various options. and you don't need me or anyone to tell you what these are.
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
shinohai: >Can't be annoyed to read logs, yet "can sit in front of computer 36 hours straight researching a specific topic"
douchebag: I didn't get a link to trb.
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.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-22 16:41 douchebag: "mp is better than you; stop pretending like he isn't"
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.
ben_vulpes: this "all hobbies are equally valid" thing ain't gonna carry water fwiw
douchebag: "mp is better than you; stop pretending like he isn't" ☟︎
douchebag: "i don't know how you think you know better what to do with your time than mp" ☟︎
ben_vulpes: oh baby don't take it personally, sit with the discomfort for an hour and figure out the root of it.
douchebag: You guys sure do feel great about yourselves don't you?
mircea_popescu: right. i expect it's the first time anyone even said within earshot this whole pantsuit badge collecting isn't even socially accepted, let alone required.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes in fairness he tried to show, and inexplicably it didn't work.
ben_vulpes: your own research targets in which case you're a man and can make your own decisions or you need orders and will be told what to do. picking your own targets is an act of *creativity*, which i muchly doubt i'll see much of from a metasploit crank-puller. as it stands i don't really expect you to do anything but it's a low bar and a single task to show me wrong.
asciilifeform: fwiw asciilifeform does a few things (not really worth writing about) in his ( not overly abundant ) sparetime that wouldn't make any sense whatsoever to a 'la ce imi serveste mie...' pov , strictly to 'stretch muscle'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can't say i'm tempted. the structure still can not be predicated on the meaning, what am i going to do, argue with the "rationally skeptical" http://btcbase.org/log/2014-02-16#509012 ? ☝︎
mod6: I would say, douchebag, that if you don't know how to, at minimum, ~use~ V, you'll find it very difficult to participate.
diana_coman: I can't help but read that as "I'm not too sure if my focus on finding rats in take-aways would even be relevant to your actual cooking"
douchebag: I've read the logs partially, however I haven't finished them
douchebag: I literally do not understand anything. I don't know what a vpatch is or anything. The concept just does not make sense
diana_coman: douchebag, write somewhere a summary of what you understand of it and what you don't - it will help you formulate some clear questions to...ask in here, so people can help you understand
douchebag: I don't understand what a V is I have read about it, I have looked at examples and I still don't understand ☟︎
diana_coman: douchebag, why do you concern yourself with what other people do or not do *after* something you didn't even yet do; it's a recipe for insanity this
douchebag: diana_coman: I agree with you. The reason I'm a bit hesitant is because I know what I'm not good at. I know how to code, I write code almost every single day. However, I don't code for the same reasons most people do
diana_coman: douchebag, learning something is never a waste of time; and learning what you "are not good at" is quite doubly NOT a waste of time; "outcome" as you currently define it doesn't enter into it at all; and for that matter: http://trilema.com/2015/causes-and-purposes/
mircea_popescu: i don't think you can be anything but disappointed, in your current state.
mircea_popescu: i don't know.
douchebag: Well I don't understand how I'm sitting here waiting for reality to change? Are you saying there's absolutely nothing that I could help with here in regards to Information Security?
mircea_popescu: you understand most people aren't ~born~ stupid, but become stupid through systematic effort over long intervals. do you ?
mircea_popescu: whether you're skilled or not has no bearing on this whole "area of expertise" nonsense. i've been writing for twenty years, doesn't mean i'll sit with my laptop while the girls eat each other out because fucking "isn't my area of expertise".
douchebag: I've been focused on web application security for the past decade, just becase I'm only 20 doesn't mean I'm not skilled.
douchebag: Alright, I still haven't written a V implementation. I would like to help, however programming is not my main area of expertise. I feel like writing a V implementation would not waste my time, but yours as well considering d
asciilifeform: they don't cost ~1% of what similar item costs from other vendors because martians work for'em for free...
hanbot: so nearlyfreespeech hosting's insistence on using buttpay plays out like so: thewhet.net is offline, i can't make a payment to get it back online (precious addy must stay at home and hide under the blankets!!1), and i can't talk to 'em, cause low and behold the support subscription (which i'd been paying for for many months) expired so my ticket is pegged for the trash, please pay to talk into the clownmouth.
mircea_popescu: "Like a bad ass she is, she proved to be wise beyond her years by standing head and shoulders (Or is it ass-tall) with the boys." doesn't even INTEND irony, you realise. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: if this doesn't have a strong perfume of original hackertude about it i dunno what does.
asciilifeform: btw for anybody who hasn't grasped yet, n can have as many prime factors as you want. (e.g. P(phuctorade-set) say)
asciilifeform: i like how asciilifeform doesn't have to elaborate, mircea_popescu instantly grasped the boojum. almost as good as telepathy!11
mircea_popescu: in fact and rather transparently, the whole "secret curve" pseudocryptography is a direct result of all the nsa time spent chasing those a and b (no b doesn't HAVE TO BE 2, just as long as you know how you round it can also be a real)
a111: Logged on 2018-03-21 14:38 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788339 << i can't tell you how annoying it is that mpi starts with mp.

mircea_popescu: go talk to a girl and ping a blog, motherfuckers, jesus fucking christ on a cracker they LIED TO YOU, it's immoral NOT TO! you don't catch anything from sticking it into the wet sight unseen.
mircea_popescu: point in case -- you think you can curate by hand a list of friends, yet your "blogroll" is perpetually out of date ; i don't have one nor ever had one for this exact reason, i ain't handcurating jack.
mircea_popescu: and they'll do it 1mn times per ip, no problem, they just set up the script, until the host kicks them off they literally don't care about anything.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-21 14:17 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788325 << from what i understand they don't work on nfs because nfs is broken by design (alf tho thinks this is not a bug but a feature, something in the vein of "if you deliberately break the lock on your mailbox, you may miss out on some mail, it's true, but you can always claim in court you never got their papers" or such).
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788357 << it is 'broken' like this : you don't get a box (or even virtual box) with a particular ip, on nfs co, but rather a thing reminiscent of crapflare (but built ~20yrs prior) where the dns resolves as ip x for some loads, ip y for others, etc. so as to spread the ddosolade around. ( somewhat surprisingly, it actually worx -- eats multi-GB without coughing ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788328 << this is there because of the whole http://trilema.com/2014/o-hai-let-me-wanna-be/ ; the short story being that if you don't check whether the ip of the ping-announcer matches the ip of the supposed ping sender, you turn your wordpress installation into a DDoS amplifier whereby one can (and plenty DO, there's lists published on trilema periodically, can dig up if you wish) have your ☝︎

mircea_popescu: this isn't a rational, reality-bound, economics-driven process, after all. pure hallucinatoria, just add verbiage.
mircea_popescu: they shouldn't "have been able to", and the more "insane" THE MORE SO, not the less so.
lobbes: ha, so for all the useful sleuthing and tips spyked provided for getting the js text selection to work my issue ended up being... I didn't have the correct path! (derp was that I forgot about my permalinks) >> http://trilema.com/2015/that-spiffy-selection-thing/#selection-145.0-147.1
BingoBoingo: Kinda surprised they weren't all opened by bored customs folk
mircea_popescu: well honestly i didn't expect they didn't LOOK at them
asciilifeform: can't think of how else.
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, you had a pile of lose fgs. but you didn't even box up the one box you had pretty much pre-sold ? why not ?
ben_vulpes: i didn't bring the machine up with the FGs out of oversight. BingoBoingo is walking downstairs to install them now.
mircea_popescu: if anyone wants it that still hasn't got it.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> don't you judge her! << lol
BingoBoingo: Anyways, it shouldn't be long before shinyness and newness become leper's marks in old country
mircea_popescu: some actuarial data can't hurt. us most dangerous place to cross a bridge by far, both overal and per capial.
mircea_popescu: pvc pipe doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel reinforcing concrete, you remember.
mircea_popescu: don't you judge her!
mircea_popescu: executive summary : a) don't buy any books from o'brien ; b) fuck your mother, today. preferably tie her up and rough her up after you're done.
mircea_popescu: he hacked new jew times didn't he ?
mircea_popescu: why should people forget the us army doesn't exist and was fucked in the ass by towelheads with a slight russian dusting over at mosul.
mircea_popescu: i'm about 5000 times more interested in reading all about how usg hasn't managed to recapture mosul years after pantsuit press stopped mentioning it than whatever the fuck pantsuit press wants to talk about.
mircea_popescu: his idea that muscular fatigue results from the dual oxidation style, and that the brain doesn't have it, that it only burns glucose and it only burns it completely is correct ;
mircea_popescu: but yeah, he'd be late 60s by now wouldn't he.

trinque: I guess his netzerojunowhatever didn't.
mircea_popescu: iirc we tried to get him to show up years ago, but it didn't take
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform right. i don't hold it against him any. but has to be said.
mircea_popescu: his contributions on usenet suffer very much from the naggum problem (he's plain idiotic plenty of places, apparently interacting with idiots corrups HIM rather than corrupting them into being less idiotic) ; but such annoyances aside i don't know anyone coming around being so right since tlp.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-15 06:44 ben_vulpes: was the thrust of your comment that the net change column should see a value of 11? decimals aside i don't understand what you were driving at with that comment.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-15#1787885 << no, that's just the b.6 portion. (and i don't like this "main thrust" device in general, it's one thing to try and get all the angles, but it's folly to try and select "the main one".) ☝︎

asciilifeform: fwiw 'smart' wasn't marketed till 2004 iirc. so possibly the thing dun even have it.
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/lili-marleen-the-only-english-version-that-doesnt-suck/ << Trilema - Lili Marleen, the only English version that doesn't suck.
ben_vulpes: 'tis more or less what i had, but inapplicable to a bag of parts. the three new-in-box drives plus the expediter's fee plus a honking pile of taxesnfees-that-aren't-IVA was the bulk of the bill.
hanbot: <ben_vulpes> womxn is the new word in other linguistic backflips << why, has the average one gotten so large you can't tell whether or not she's a plurality?
mircea_popescu: oh, don't forget the send-off, "if anyone had shot at mommy, THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN RAZED DOWN!!!! but since i could find no record of it happening..."
trinque: if she doesn't want to wait, eventually there will be a way to transition a classical gentoo box forthcoming, since I'll be doing it to my own.
trinque: at any rate, this needs a longer look. we don't need to be going "oh upstream broke us" again in a month. meanwhile I don't want to hold anyone up setting up a pizarro box.
