mircea_popescu: russia is not without its own problems but having a dc
there is certainly a sound plan.
Framedragger: yepyep. i must say
that i had not dealt with
them directly, ever. but it came up in my 'ok so what actual non-nato providers/DCs could i use?'
mircea_popescu: so
then. you want
to use
the wire system whenever you can anyway.
mircea_popescu: ~any isp will open you a wire channel if you're paying
them substantially. pay
them quarterly, it'll be substantial enough.
Framedragger recalls using some 'virtual gold' 'incorporated in panama' company currency
to
trade goods. sustainable? no. can make it werk for specific
trades? can do!
Framedragger: ^ can purchase ip blocks via 'em,
too, for good price; etc.
Framedragger: btw, if anyone is considering doing
the isp
thing, one of
the potential providers which offers colo is
https://pinspb.ru/ (doesn't look serious i know, but after some research it
turns out
to have close
ties
to 2x4.ru, and
that's not a bad sign.)
shinohai still wants one of mircea_popescu 's
thinkpads from back in
the day ....
mircea_popescu: respectable profit in what sense, i'll
trade my
time for fiatollars and
then what ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform same argument could be made re mp's bitcoins, mp's slavegirls, mp's anythings yes ? how much would a girl properly
trained sell for, seeing how
the fucking shah of brunei can't, apparently, find one, and not for lack of
trying ? subquestion : what
THE FUCK is "respectable" supposed
to mean in a world where apparently mp is
the only one who has shit and everyone else will resist getting ~~~~~~ANY~~~~~ shit whatso
mircea_popescu: is it from
the experience of being a businessman, or is it from
the experience of being a cocksucker, begging
this and
that, like
the schmuck i just negrated ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'll mention one
thing
tho: you cited "$10k+ / year" figures and all
that, but just ftr i don't believe
the actual *profit margin* (vs. revenue) would be decent.
that said,
this should of course be researched.
mircea_popescu: "oh, i'm
too fucking good
to send some opterons
to be racked and btw we begged for less cock. or more. or something, anyway FOR LITERALLY YEARS!!11"
Framedragger: olook
the backdoor is an actual backdoor! good call on opteron asciilifeform :)
mircea_popescu: "First a little bit of background. SemiAccurate has known about
this vulnerability for literally years now, it came up in research we were doing on hardware backdoors over five years ago. What we found was scary on a level
that literally kept us up at night. For obvious reasons we couldn’t publish what we found out but we
took every opportunity
to beg anyone who could even
tangentially influence
the right people
to do somet
mircea_popescu: and
the idiots "begged intel
to fix it for years" and never said a peep.
jurov: The short version is
that every Intel platform with AMT, ISM, and SBT from Nehalem in 2008
to Kaby Lake in 2017 has a remotely exploitable security hole in
the ME (Management Engine) not CPU firmware.
mircea_popescu: what fucking choice!
THIS is
the choice. what choice was it ?
mircea_popescu: this nonsensical pretense
that
there's somehow "choice" and "people have it" gotta be
the #1 driver of
the socialist empire of idiots.
shinohai: Should I invite him here
to bare
tits for 2 bittys?
shinohai goes
to
the swamp
to revel in lulz
mircea_popescu: exactly like
the braindead strippers who wouldn't pick up a bitcoin for free because hey, "professional" and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: shinohai ^ post
that in
there, at least when i get
to boil
them in oil right and proper
they get
to hurr durr at
the fact
that
they ~actually had
the
text before
their eyes~
mircea_popescu: and
then when i want
them boiled in oil i'm supposed
to give explanations or something ? hurr.
mircea_popescu: "oh,
there's a game
that actually works, run by
the only guy who actually has money or understands business in
this cloud of idiots.
tell you what -- we'll pretend
to be offended at "fuckgoats" and stick with some utter derpitude run by a mentally ill runt.
then a year or
two years or whatever later we'll go ... "unfortunately" and act like no one could have fucking predicted".
mircea_popescu: "It is unfortunate
that what was once a promising game with many contributors in
the community has
turned into a scam, but such as it is."
ben_vulpes: tight crop on
the engines in flight, apparently from other flying craft
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger worx. not like
the other batch is fully digested yet anyway.
mircea_popescu: guy bemoans lack of lisp style
tagged data in
today's world of shit ; refuses WITH
THE CUTTING OF
THE HEAD
to structure and
tag anything no matter what. wtf is wrong with you.
mircea_popescu: that way you'll end up with your blog linked by random idiots with delusions of grandeur in
the future, exactly like it happened in
the past.
scriba: Logged on 2017-05-01: [02:11:19] <mircea_popescu> Framedragger btw you gonna re-do
the scan for 2017 ?
Framedragger: whatever my gripes with
teh mp-way, /me been personal fan of mpex design and opsec since day 1 ;)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger sane designs (such as you know, mpex has been displaying since 2012 say) do not even care as
to what ip.
Framedragger: ^ good reminder why any
trust on 'origin ip' is moot eh!
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you can actually also change
the dialogs skin
the same way,
the character models,
the skybox / ground, pretty much everything whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform write a blog post ;
then reference it from code commetns.
