mircea_popescu: not exactly undoable, either, but not much of a priority as we don't have yet a tmsr internet spec.
asciilifeform: 'Whitelist-only networking may help contain the vulnerability, provided of course that it's not implemented on Cisco equipment.' sounded like it was about lan filtration, so not same idea
mircea_popescu: Framedragger like in that scene derps love to quote, "what good is a phone mr usg, if you can't talk ?"
Framedragger: aha! that'd be something. i mean, still full-on DMA, but yeah, k.
mircea_popescu: it's even in the qntra treatment.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i observed, in old thread (where? not found yet..) that one cheap counter to boobytrapped x86 would be to make an incompatible Gb nic.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-02 11:09 Framedragger: HN is like "Ah geez. Time to create a competent chip manufacturer. Anyone got a spare US sized military budget?"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-02#1650813 << hn is copying #trilema, years after the fact, and with the full faith and credit of imbecility lent to the pretense that they are not. ☝︎

Framedragger: ^ alf seems to have covered (and dismissed), tho
a111: Logged on 2017-05-02 01:14 asciilifeform: whether lizard hitler alone, or 10,001 scriptkiddie derps, have the key, is immaterial
asciilifeform: supposedly, 'An FBI translator with a top-secret security clearance traveled to Syria in 2014 and married a key ISIS operative...'
BingoBoingo: Sometimes there are weird exceptions to ethanol free lake gas being great for small motors, some of the 4-cycle hondas have trouble with octane numbers over 89 and the ethanol free lake stuff is the premium 91, 93, or 94 octane
BingoBoingo: Ethanol free gas also very useful for 2-cycle power equipment because carb'd rather than fuel injected (for now)
BingoBoingo: You'd be suprised the amount of water "Up to 10% ethanol" can absorb

BingoBoingo: Beware toyota trucks from regions subject to winter road salting
asciilifeform: iirc was a toyota.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i will, if it turns up again
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: could you take a picture of said $28k pickup ?
a111: Logged on 2017-04-10 01:43 mircea_popescu is more than willing to share his dollar-a-lb bounty with l1 all-comers. i also made myself fruit salad out of [actually ripe] mango, [actually ripe] pineapple, [actually ripe] banmanas, drenched in fresh oj etc.

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-01#1650704 << over here, all 3 grades of petrol are 10% etoh << aha. i recalled that your swampy corner of the continent was so afflicted. california is even worse iirc. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-05-01 22:24 Framedragger: re https://security-center.intel.com/advisory.aspx?intelid=INTEL-SA-00075&languageid=en-fr (released today) (AMT (part of intel's ME) mega-vulnerable (shocker i know)), will just remind x220 fans that those laptops are 'biznis grade' and hence have AMT in them.
mircea_popescu: burned hole, "plox upgrade to new one" business as usual.
mats: and claims as to 'our team was looking for hardware backdoors' when the guy's a 'journalist' is dubious at best
mats: ya but that dummy had nothing but insinuations
asciilifeform: mats: see today's logs
asciilifeform: nothing, as far as i could tell, remarkable about it
asciilifeform: btw pete_dushenski would appreciate the scene : old pickup truck on street, sign 'for sale' : 28k usd.
asciilifeform: maybe cuban-style 'lada chassis, new toyota motor'..
a111: Logged on 2017-05-02 01:44 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh, 8k buys you like two cars here.
asciilifeform: tbh i have nfi why the local market is what it is. maybe racing-grade custom shitanium boatz.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is more in line with my naive picture.
mircea_popescu: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Peterborough-Canoe-Natural-Finish-36-Wooden-Handmade-Row-Boat-Model-NEW-/282282237687 << the $200 model.
mircea_popescu: also a row boat where you live goes for $200 to $800 depending on model.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh, 8k buys you like two cars here. ☟︎
asciilifeform: is this really a hard concept ??

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-01#1650713 << again it makes 0 sense to say 'turns out, amt was vulnerable'. it IS A vuln, from day1 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-05-01 22:37 Framedragger: funny: if one were to follow intel's route of patching firmware, as regards say x220s, lenovo gives update in the form of windows executables
asciilifeform: btw asciilifeform was just now in a dock yard. readers may be enlightened to learn that 8k usd does not even buy a rowboat. y'know, the kind with oars.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: over here in 'free' world , 'bank crisis' dun mean 'things get cheap', it means typically that you lose job/house/etc.
Framedragger: (in fairness, it wasn't 'newlifeomg!', it was 'a buncha things in 1991~2 .lt during bank crisis etc')
asciilifeform: that's approx what asciilifeform's threshhold for 'bag of usd large enough to be felt'.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-01 19:37 mircea_popescu: the lulz of all fucking time, a grand bought his father a new life 25 years ago ; i just did the household accounting, my petty cash line is a shade over $8`000. that excludes rents like it excludes isp bills or agents on a mission or anything else worth the fucking mention. a grand would buy me half a week's worth of groceries, taking a girl out or buying her some random dress we saw in the window so she comes out of the sho

mircea_popescu: Framedragger yeah, not sure how much work i want expended to support nickserv's fiatista notions of dns.
trinque: yeah, sorta tape over "we don't own the ircd"
Framedragger: almost as if the thing would need to wait and then send a challenge to that same nick, but this is kinda promisetronic i guess.
mircea_popescu: i guess this is one of those, "pretend like your name reg is worth something without deedbot at your own peril" impedance mismatches not really worth fixing.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: what does that accomplish? !!v to show that key i'm registering is indeed owned by me?
mircea_popescu: if he can't then trash the reg.
trinque: mircea_popescu: idea being to require people to be auth'd to nickserv first?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in wet tshirt news, http://68.media.tumblr.com/64e15b06f56eaef9bbc7fbb9897ced32/tumblr_nkfba4hV4o1tu9t4go1_1280.jpg
Framedragger: (-NickServ- You have 30 seconds to identify to your nickname before it is changed.)
mircea_popescu: or that.
mircea_popescu: trinque there's a vulnerability in how deedbot handles registrations in that even with nick enforcing on, one has enough time before chanserv kicks him off (2-3 seconds ?) to shoot a reg string at deedbot and get the name registered to his key.
Framedragger: "tl;dr: OVH had an issue where your second network card was connected to other servers in the datacenter. This allowed you to run a DHCP server and offer a gateway. This also allows you to MITM several machines outbound traffic, I had 35 machines responding back with DHCP Leases and about 4 routing outbound traffic to me as their router."
a111: Logged on 2017-04-21 17:38 davout: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-21#1646944 <<< god no, please no, OVH is a collection of terminally retarded fuckwits living in france's arse hole
Framedragger: re 'years from now', guess so, can't see why not. fun exploit times! (but seriously, opened ticket at $provider to query about a xeon cpu)
Framedragger: funny: if one were to follow intel's route of patching firmware, as regards say x220s, lenovo gives update in the form of windows executables ☟︎
mircea_popescu: eh, they'll be happily churning along years from now. just look at the debian keys or openssh horrors etc.
Framedragger: ('provisioning' (see link) is (i think) a separate thing.)
Framedragger: *actually*, one needs to ask their hosting providers if AMT is enabled (BIOS setting), wouldn't hurt
Framedragger: re https://security-center.intel.com/advisory.aspx?intelid=INTEL-SA-00075&languageid=en-fr (released today) (AMT (part of intel's ME) mega-vulnerable (shocker i know)), will just remind x220 fans that those laptops are 'biznis grade' and hence have AMT in them. ☟︎☟︎

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: in theory, any objections to a dc located in india ?
Framedragger: thanks, that makes sense of course.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "saving" as alf referenced previous discussion because this "saving" is fundamentally and at its core an anti-concept. "how to be powerless while retaining power". nigga, wut ?
mircea_popescu: nobody said you gotta be a figment of some redditard's imagination, now did they.
mircea_popescu: yes. the alternative to not being a creature of this world is BEING a creature of this world.
Framedragger: i suppose the alternative is not necessarily "buy up bitcoin" (somehow stuck in mind), but invest in business (and possibly (non-nato, or w/e) real estate). (not against my current plans, just, can't do all at once (yet))
mircea_popescu: if a million dollars buys you a decent meal in another 25 years you should count yourself lucky, and that's only 2042, 8 more to go to 2050.
mircea_popescu: and he wants to save!
mircea_popescu: p looking just like the display only better.
mircea_popescu: the lulz of all fucking time, a grand bought his father a new life 25 years ago ; i just did the household accounting, my petty cash line is a shade over $8`000. that excludes rents like it excludes isp bills or agents on a mission or anything else worth the fucking mention. a grand would buy me half a week's worth of groceries, taking a girl out or buying her some random dress we saw in the window so she comes out of the sho ☟︎
mircea_popescu: just like it doesn't really matter what specifically you watch on tv, it's still turning you into a single fat middle aged woman.
mircea_popescu: it is fundamentally toxic, yes. this is how you ended up with so many "naive premise can't disagree with other partrs" etc.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: would you, personally, meet with any serious difficulty loading pediwikia in tr, cn, etc ?
Framedragger: i use wikipedia for quick lookup of $topic sometimes; i also use it as "collection of references to other places" thing. is this fundamentally toxic? maybe.
mircea_popescu: hey, global internet, yes. not for things though.
Framedragger: so the disagreement stems from that (naive) premise. other parts of reasoning i cannot disagree with, of course.
Framedragger: i admit that i still have this notion of "global internet" in my mind, as a +ev thing.
mircea_popescu: and don't tell me "that people themselves should be able to choose". people themselves are morons, will gladly "choose" frozen tacos if given that "choice".
mircea_popescu: what is the problem ?
mircea_popescu: so explain this to me. yesterday i was in ##crypto. after a while i... left. this has the blessed effect that the inept idiocies spewed by some immature dickheads no longer befoul my timeline. turkey allowed wikipedia. then after a while it turned it off. this has the blessed effect thjat immature dickheads no longer befoul its timeline.
Framedragger: we block idiot "write access", so to speak. not blacklisting IPs in logotrons (yet!)
mircea_popescu: (no, wikipedia has nothing to do wirth anything BUT usg propaganda.)
Framedragger finds any "blocking" to be retarded on a fundamental level
mircea_popescu: the fact that they're blocking the usg tendrils scarcely argues against them.
mircea_popescu: let them show me this wonder.
mircea_popescu: eh they have my foot.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: they have massive firewall, blocking at will. could be not a problem, depending on business case of customers of course. and i guess the counter would be "everyone does"
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: lol if people want boxes racked in the heart of the empire i can do it for 100/mo for a 2U
Framedragger: alsoalso, ideally more than one upstream ^
