mircea_popescu: It was the first, and being first, was best, but now we lay it down to ever rest. Now pause with me
a moment, shed some tears.
ben_vulpes: perhaps i am behind the times, but is there
a buildroot config that's been passed around?
decimation: but then I would need
a mips64 build host
mircea_popescu: such as you know, apostiles, or whatever. allah on
a stick.
mircea_popescu: certainly. most of gdp in the "service economy" is exactly akin to running
a bunch of elizas at each other.
assbot: O hai. I was justing doing
a penetration test of your site. on Trilema -
A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

mircea_popescu: this was elevated to divinity,
a sort of fsm, by the people making the robotzi cartoons
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform trompi is
a very common name for
a cute small toy elephant. romanians have names for everything - for instance azorel is what
a cartoon dog should be called ideally.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu what, i've never traversed
a database before
pete_dushenski: but if it's just the filter then i thought i'd give you
a heads up
pete_dushenski: as we know, wp sucks
a donkey's cock, but it still seems odd that none are getting through these days
pete_dushenski: come to think of it, the "bitcoinpete" links had
a much higher success rate than contravex
mod6: <+asciilifeform> shits out
a barcode to print << yup. $160.00 USD for U.S. citizen
mircea_popescu: "That's why I decided to make
a "deblobbed" version of OpenBSD."
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.
funkenstein_: now that they've seen
a real one they can start faking them
mircea_popescu: just like having
a car doesn't alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such
a thing as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: even fucking air traffic controllers have slumps, once or twice
a century one's unemployed. maybe two if it's real bad.
mircea_popescu: it just sort-of works provided
a) lemmings and b) some very basic nonsensical assumptions.
mod6: do i need to make
a login id?
lobbes: Or is it simply: "Don't make yourself
a target for usg" ?
ascii_field: perhaps it is best to be thought
a complete idiot, in this specific scenario.
BingoBoingo: Maybe the assumption of
a tamper trap is normally enough?
ascii_field: '...sliced off his GPS ankle monitor and affixed it to
a crudely built contraption in his rural New York residence "in order to give the appearance that he was still present and moving within his home."'
nubbins`: "Guess we all know why theymos has been hanging out in the transvestite hangouts now. He's embezeld the forum donations to turn Bad Bears P into
a V so he could be his B and he gave him admin privalges so you could come here to take out his frustrations after he rams it up his ass until he bleeds. "
mircea_popescu: of course, the original was
a fucking cycle of operas.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: except that diseased state happily contracts the megalomania out to
a hundred various 'mengeles' each of whom focuses on the insides of
a particular variety of designated untermensch
mircea_popescu: generally, illness in humans is manifested as
a contraction of the "presence bubble". you may sit in your bed thinking of things as far away as
a continent, but the man in pain sees nothing past his nose. and the man in love, past HER nose.
mircea_popescu: wtf is this world where such great things can go out and not even
a billion people show for the burial.
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 ?
ascii_field: ^ for anyone who was living in
a sealed bunker for the past few yrs, 'palantir' is one of the direct subcontractors to nsa panopticon wares
Pierre_Rochard: Peter Thiel is
a co-founder of Palantir, convenient for him to arrange
a deal!
mircea_popescu: aaanyways. it's
a safe enough model for as long as inflation holds, because it's based on nominal figures. known as the hyperinflation debenture frenzy.
Pierre_Rochard: my favorite was “Data analytics provider Palantir Technologies Inc., which was valued at $15 billion last September, turned to an SPV arranged by Founders Fund,
a San Francisco firm headed by billionaire investors Peter Thiel, according to people familiar with the deal.”
mircea_popescu: "Pinterest board observer raised $200 million in three days to buy more shares—with startup’s blessing" << almost exactly different from how
a ponzi is run,
mircea_popescu: OUR GREAT LEADER WAS SLAIN BY SOMETHING IN
A ROUND BOX THINGEE! ROUNDBOX THINGEES ARE NOW BANNED!11
mircea_popescu: "i make
a loss on every sale but hope to make it up on volume"
trinque has trouble seeing the value in something that continues to lose money, but then, he's
a simpleton
trinque: post-dot-com business in
a box
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: this is
a business now. derps actually hope to make money out of this. someone might care about domain names still, because they did pre 2001, because dotcom people were idiots
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)
ascii_field: dns is pure gold as
a pwnhole vector, incidentally
mircea_popescu: but, regardless. every journey begins with
a frenzied fuck and
a sad kiss goodbye.
ascii_field: can you 'fix'
a roadkill baking in the sun ?
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
nubbins`: fwiw it's just
a matter of ripping out the chunks of boost that don't belong
mircea_popescu: i had to do
a dbl take see if he actually put html cruft in his poc.
