mircea_popescu: and i received their revelation in my heart and have converted to the cult of the most reverable trompi, the divine.

pete_dushenski: i was all excited when i first read the article, then soon realised that i had miles to go

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu what, i've never traversed a database before

pete_dushenski: ;;later tell funkenstein_ i'm assuming this is you ? http://frass.woodcoin.org/?p=66

pete_dushenski: but if it's just the filter then i thought i'd give you a heads up

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu when reading older trilema articles, i notice the odd trackback to contravex, but not so much on the newer articles. are these getting stuck in your spam filter of late ?

mircea_popescu: "That's why I decided to make a "deblobbed" version of OpenBSD."

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://libertybsd.net/ubiquiti/ << i can't believe whoever wrote that seriously thinks linking to unitedagainstnucleariran.com bolsters whatever point they may wish to make. << Oh, you caught the third layer lulz there. http://qntra.net/2015/03/private-lawsuit-dismissed-because-of-state-secrets-privilege/

ben_vulpes: i take some solace in the confusion it'll bring to my poor lizard obama agents.

ben_vulpes: i know how to pay the reciprocity fee, jackholes

mircea_popescu: http://libertybsd.net/ubiquiti/ << i can't believe whoever wrote that seriously thinks linking to unitedagainstnucleariran.com bolsters whatever point they may wish to make.

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: yeah i uh changed my passport to my new name

mircea_popescu: that's what i said.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l. i think it might be a new york thing

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: mega-lulz. i must admit that i never tried to use ubiquiti's linux in earnest

ben_vulpes: this, i suppose, is what i get for being a us subject

ben_vulpes: turns out the argentines want *translated* court documents demonstrating name change, *and* they want the translations *notarized* and they want the *notarized shit* bearing a apostille, which today i learned to be a thing.

mircea_popescu: "i have an army, it's all castles, unmanned"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ... wealth by itself, especially if you imagine cash is "wealth" , does not allow any power whatsoever << i am astonished that this needed to be elaborated. any 'wealth', lacking that other element, can be separated from the 'owner' and his earthly bones by the folks who have both

BingoBoingo: I wonder if the cheiftain did math on fines they's collect on vs. Delphi's bill

mircea_popescu: more on point : i wonder how many people didn't have to pay their tickets because had intelligent lawyer who disputed chain of custody claims of police.

BingoBoingo: I wonder how many petty traffic, weed, and misdemeanor tickets would have been unprosecutable if they didn't pay the people to pay the turroristas

mircea_popescu: i suppose as the dea goes bankrupt the ex-dea agents move on to helping local police "fight terrorism" at the rate of 20k for every .5k paid out

assbot: Logged on 06-04-2015 23:06:50; lobbes: Surely wealth alone is not enough, but it does allow some 'power' does it not? Either way, I'm just some schmuck aspiring to wealth. Not sure how much I'm qualified to speak on such things.

mircea_popescu: i don't think there was ever someone unemployed in that field, ever.

mod6: guess i must

mod6: do i need to make a login id?

lobbes: Anyway, I got some reading to catch up on. As you were, logs

lobbes: Surely wealth alone is not enough, but it does allow some 'power' does it not? Either way, I'm just some schmuck aspiring to wealth. Not sure how much I'm qualified to speak on such things. ☟︎

mats: i chortled

ascii_field: i want '.lame'

ascii_field: 'THE COURT: As I said I am perfectly happy to bankrupt them. I am perfectly happy to take their real estate and to sell it, if that is what they choose. '

ascii_field: judge: 'I want Mr. Ceglia -- sir, you need to understand something about me. I have no compunction about taking people's parents' homes away and heaving them homeless on the street -- none whatsoever.'

ascii_field: ^ what i was trying to get across, yes

mircea_popescu: i was expecting better, world.

mircea_popescu: dude for all the pretense they put forth ... they've been gone for a month and i've not yet run into a mourning woman ?

nubbins`: " The problem comes, I think, mainly from statically linking other GLIBC libraries, notably "libpthread"" <<< we're using that one

mircea_popescu: give or take, but i'm not really crazy about the difference between 5% and 3% either way

ascii_field: but unlike uclibc, i have never used it.

mircea_popescu: "i make a loss on every sale but hope to make it up on volume"

trinque: this I guess is how usg creates jobs

trinque: huge revenue, pretty slim profit; I'm looking it up

mircea_popescu: the part i like best is the scamconferences they organise where they go to spend a coupla days in alt.universe where HUGE DEALS happen and stupidity is "an industry"

mircea_popescu: i hope they're sending google proposals for muggle

ascii_field: ^ i get these regularly

ascii_field: when i did a tour of duty as a perversely purposeless employee of university, the cellar below my office, one flight of steps down, was a dns root serv. peculiarly well-guarded and fortified for something so low-traffic (root dns servs get used hardly ever)

mircea_popescu: at least from what i've pieced together from what people have been reciting to me as bedstories since my involvement in bitcoin

mircea_popescu: and i know the other four.

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i began reading the glibc source last night

mircea_popescu: anyway, if one's interested feel free to contact me and i'll either say gtfo or tell you what you have to do. if you'd rather avoid the record of the gtfo feel free to discuss privately.

mircea_popescu: i am an open man running an open empire.

ascii_field: and other things. It's supposed to make application programs independent of the separately configured actual network environment of the machine. A nice idea, but changes to GLIBC can lead to problems loading it. And you can't statically link "libnss", since it is configured for each machine individually. The problem comes, I think, mainly from statically linking other GLIBC libraries, notably "libpthread", "libm", and

ascii_field: '"I suppose the idea is that everything will be in the downloaded file, so nothing depends on the local libraries on the target system. Unfortunately with Linux, and I think anything else using GLIBC, this still isn't quite true. There's this "libnss" (name service switch, some people seem to call it network security system) which provides functions for accessing various databases for authentication, network information,

ascii_field: 'If you believe "static linking" to mean something else from what I

nubbins`: so i'm still not able to reproduce the portartronic pogotronic static build

mircea_popescu: i had to do a dbl take see if he actually put html cruft in his poc.

mircea_popescu: ^ i thought that was precious

mircea_popescu: "In this article I am going to show you how to create an executable that runs arbitrary code if it's examined by `ldd`. I have also written a social engineering scenario on how you can get your sysadmin to unknowingly hand you his privileges." ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i imagine tumblr has a metric shitton of child porn

cazalla: i was on skype no less than 1 hour ago lol :\

mircea_popescu: yeah totally. i have incompatible internet. incompatible TO STUPID

mircea_popescu: which hackpad thing reminds me : re the earlier hacker news piece - i find it hysterical the agitprop is seriously pushing the "and they got on skype" angle.

fluffypony: so I lost interest

fluffypony: I commented on the Hackpad where we were shooting ideas around

BingoBoingo: It's alright. I was only just working on a sandwich of ham... because no jew to be seen behind this IRC nick.

mircea_popescu: i have my doubts.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not entirely sure this is to go on the head of Andreas Jaeger.

asciilifeform: i still want to know precisely what patch it was that made it into various non-gentoo things, that silenced the alarm bell and deceived folks into 'yes this is a static build'

decimation: at any rate, I think the responsible option here is to settle on uclibc with the desired features enabled

asciilifeform: <decimation> I didn't see it. So " --enable-static-nss" is useful for glibc << as i understand, this results in random breakage (a binary which only runs with any degree of certainty on your machine)

decimation: I guess it's 'nice' that gethostbyname() can be arbitrarily remapped if you just want your linux to run winblows

asciilifeform: 'I do not know where to find the historic references, but yes, static linking is dead on GNU systems. (I believe it died during the transition from libc4/libc5 to libc6/glibc 2.x.) The feature was deemed useless in light of: Security vulnerabilities. Application which was statically linked doesn't even support upgrade of libc....'

asciilifeform: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3430400/linux-static-linking-is-dead << i'm not remotely the first to notice the gorilla shitting in the kitchen

decimation: yeah I don't get it

decimation: I didn't see it. So " --enable-static-nss" is useful for glibc

mircea_popescu: i am not a great fan of hard labour

asciilifeform: 'I might be stepping on some people's toes, but to me it looked like a high-school class where the dimmest students drew up guidelines on how smart students "should" behave, and gave that to the teacher in order to earn brownie points - including clauses like 'not contradicting the teacher'.'

pete_dushenski: i kid, i kid.

mircea_popescu: he's a jew like i'm pregnant.

mircea_popescu: ("dear listeners, i tell you i have no one anywhere. not phone service, not gas distributor, not x y or z. i do not..."

decimation: because as much as I bitch about it, 'rule by derpy bureaucrat' is 100x better than 'rule by crazy mob'

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i meant inside the "democracy"

mircea_popescu: but from the inside of a "democracy", i can tell you this : people employing a wot are so much more successful than people who do not

pete_dushenski: i even retold it once, to splendid effect

pete_dushenski: ah! i remember that one :)

mircea_popescu: i think this is even mentioned in meanwhile declassified soviet stuff. they actually sorted the blacks by "switzerland or germany"

mircea_popescu: i think hearn is one of the... how shall i put this.

pete_dushenski: lol i was wondering when the last 5k was going to disappear from the 'ethereum wallet'

mircea_popescu: "I don't remember that," Fisher says. "But the inmates did tell me they had never eaten so good until I arrived."

mircea_popescu: re this entire "powdered alcohol" bs : why the fuck would i drink a galon of cyclodextrine slog for a quart of alcohol ?

assbot: Logged on 05-04-2015 16:50:58; trinque: I don't want decisions made for me; I want bricks laid for me.

Birdman: Then I suppose I should read up on the logs, thanks.

mircea_popescu: marginally amusing read, stuff like http://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/03/09/announcing-starfighter/ (grep for "Sounds like BS, right. I know. I’m a generic web programmer (yay Ruby, meh JavaScript, boo low-level anything). The last time I played a CTF, written by my cofounders, they had me breaking into locks controlled by micro controllers which ran embedded assembly code.")

BingoBoingo: mats: "The packages, at 4 inches by 6 inches, are not easily concealed, he said. And because of the single-use packaging, he said, it would be easier to spike a punchbowl with a large bottle of rum." << I was telling people you wouldn't lose volume by powdering the stuff

nubbins`: mildly annoying that i've got a binary but can't reproduce the process

nubbins`: i think i'm maybe just ripping one or two things too many out of it

nubbins`: man for the life of me i can't reproduce these build steps

assbot: Logged on 05-04-2015 05:52:05; mircea_popescu: because it is unacceptable for a world to exist where i may have to spend more than an hour getting a new os running.

ben_vulpes: mwell i'm off for a bit
