I am the only one here who actually used the things, this is absolutely crucial
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
I've never know not that to be the case.
mircea_popescu: 19. Myth: systemd forces you to do something. systemd is not the mafia. It's Free Software, you can do with it whatever you want, and that includes not using it. That's pretty much the opposite of "forcing". << lol ok, that's about the most disingenuous thing
i read today. you know what else is free software ? BITCOIN!!!
BingoBoingo: per <Luke-Jr> even
I think systemd is crap

Azelphur: kakobrekla:
I ain't no sheep :)
Azelphur: kakobrekla: admittedly
I've always had trouble walking the trying to help / being a jerk line, in my head
I'm always trying to help, but sometimes people don't see it that way.
kakobrekla: <Azelphur> mircea_popescu: well if it was a job interview,
I solved every single problem, including a pile of everybody elses, turned up at 9am in the morning and left at 8pm every day for a week,

Azelphur: mircea_popescu: that said
I've got a job offer now anyway from elsewhere, it's not the greatest but it'll do for now
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: oh, no, the tl;dr is that dropbox was annoying me so

I wouldn't be caught dead on a Mac so...
Azelphur: BingoBoingo:
I believe so, yes.
mircea_popescu: "Anything ECC is currently highly suspicious, not in the least because the math is complex." <<< ah
i'm so flattered. so a year or two ago, schneier and the "consensus"
i nthe community was that rsa bad, ecc good ; mp was exactly on the other position.
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: like what?
I'm implementing missing things.
Azelphur: BingoBoingo:
I'm having no problems with it ;)
Azelphur: so apparently
I'm like, the posterchild for ownCloud now
mircea_popescu: "As for the algorithms themselves, the math, many like DSA are actually overtly designed by the NSA, so you can be sure they know how to break them, or they wouldn’t offer them. Others are probably expensive but crackable in high-interest cases (we’re talking quantum computers at their disposal). For anything super-critical
I think a one-time pad is the only guarantee, and make sure your RNG works!"
BingoBoingo:
I'm just amazed
I've spent ~12 hours now at just the right BAC to pontificate on *nix'y things
mircea_popescu: "From the start, my revelations on this blog about Red Hat’s deep control of Linux, along with their large corporate/government connections, hasn’t been just about spying, but about losing the distributed engineering quality of Linux, with Red Hat centralizing control.

I already mentioned the Federal task force looking over my plaintext shoulder in pm.
BingoBoingo: <BingoBoingo> Seriously, it's why
I like living south of
I-70, put some distance between myself and that.
BingoBoingo: <BingoBoingo> Oh,
I'm trying to move further south in the state, but if
I can't find a uni job
I might go expatriate first
BingoBoingo: So
I joined random channel suggested by a spammer banned before
I could post there but conversation with another person there:
BingoBoingo: At the airport when he was getting cuffed maybe, or are you refering to the bong thing
I own none of.
BingoBoingo: Or do
I price my liberty too cheaply? Or do
I overestimate my oratory skill too much?
BingoBoingo: What

i understand, the chinese 'wot' is their... genealogical tree. and
i'm not certain that they'd see out wot as other than noise even were they to get out of that stage. (and why ought they) <<< this seems akin to saying poles are stupid, to me.
mircea_popescu:
i edit everything.
i actually learned to program by randomly poking and peeking in the z80 memory.

i ... ?
pankkake:
I'm sick and tired of talking in riddles

assbot: Torvalds rails at Linux developer: '
I'm f*cking tired of your code' The Register
mircea_popescu:
i don't particularly give a shit anyway, not like
i;ve been seriously contemplating running contemporary distros anywhere anyway.
mircea_popescu: pankkake so far
i see some glaringly bad design decisions (core in journal, srsly ?) and some meat to the "they're trying to hijack linux" allegations. (srsly, this shit is too good to run as a user instance ?)
punkman: pankkake: well
I have no clue, but is it that systemd is not retarded, or that the alternatives suck
