a page out of alf's book, "we will know terminal decline stage by this sign, that ivy-limp bureaucrats will organise tranny beheading parties and then gather the heads in
a sack and take them to isis, as
a ritual sacrifice. much to everyone's confusion and wtf in that camp."
mircea_popescu: they're simply some kids that don't give
a shit about
a particular set of conventional nonsense
mircea_popescu: "the nihilist ISIS Islamist horror show" heh. some kids not giving
a shit about these kids circlejerk does not actually enact them into some sort of objective absolute.
ascii_field: and all sorta of unsavory actors relish
a mandated compile into
a poorly-understood, sloppily-implemented instruction set for which there are no quality reversing tools
trinque: looked like
a move where you "sign" your release, but then they can diddle endlessly at the final step
trinque: and google's clearly taking

ascii_field: thing should come with
a suggested config, yes. and it is the responsibility of the installer (gentoo 'emerge' or whatever) to emplace it.
assbot: Logged on 11-06-2015 17:13:25; ascii_field: (butane lighters have existed for what, half
a century now ?)
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> but basic point - yes - need nodes, so can have usable default << As weaponixation approaches
a suggested .conf updated occasionally may be welcome for maintained nodes but harder for pogo "fire and forget" nodes
mircea_popescu: ascii_field if it doesn't have
a -Y mode (assume y on all questions) yes.
mircea_popescu: <mats> mighta had
a chance if privately owned by black disabled lesbian << no. belgian firm has to import weapons, so they can be kept off mnarket. colt does not hyave to import anythinfg, can just turn around and sell. the usg will award no further contracts for anything to anyone who can also sell to us civillians, jus watch.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> this will be
a substantial change in default behaviour, because the thing ~will~ have to be given irc server params on command line, and/or seed ips, or ~will not run~ << this is the wrong approach. config file, with sane defaults.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> i consider this to be
a necessary thing << it is.
ascii_field: i encountered
a good number of mosquitoes in b-
a but none bit me. couldn't help but think of the old sf stories re: creatures on alien planet unable to eat (or be eaten by) us on account of wrong protein chirality
mircea_popescu: so there was
a blood gorged mosquito on the wall. as i didn't want to leave
a splotch, i hit it in such
a manner as to only dizzy it. i can now disable-shot mosquitors.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-05-2015#1122612 << it's actually
a fine entry point to explain to anyone why exactly tcp/ip is so broken. because this IS NOT
a trivial task. the price for ipv4 and it's undocumented, buggy, slow and haphazardously ad-hoc nat-routing model is that you can't find out by inspecting yourself. the half-assed, quarter-baked lazy slothful and aol-windowesque implement
mod6: <+ascii_field> mod6: it was
a fallback if irc fails << oh or if -noirc is used or something?
ascii_field: at present, there is no way to authenticate
a node
ascii_field: btw it is also valuable because presently irc is
a very handy means of finding pre-gavinization seeds

a drawn-out and contentious bidding war, Colt lost its contract to provide the Pentagon with M4 rifles in 2013. The $77 million contract went instead to
a Belgian company, F.N. Herstal.'

a deb6 test with these new patches before the end of the month I'm sure.
ascii_field: i.e. everything inside
a patch file must pertain only to what was 'printed on the box', and vice-versa.

a sequence of patches which depend on one another

mats: OPM servers in FY 2014… NMG has documented accepted weaknesses for OPM user workstations; however, it has not fully documented weaknesses for servers or databases (i.e., vulnerability scan findings that are justified by
a business need). This recommendation remains open from FY 2011 and is rolled forward in FY 2014.
mats: We were told in an interview that OPM's Network Management Group (NMG) performs monthly vulnerability scans using automated scanning tools. The OIG is unable to independently verify that OPM has
a mature vulnerability scanning program. However, we have been unable to obtain tangible evidence that vulnerability scans have been routinely conducted for all
mod6: I could start it back up again and do something else if you like. But have finally gotten
a guide created for Gentoo on Physical hardware. It needs 2 general tweaks (to be put in tonight) before I hand over to hanbot for testing.
