asciilifeform: i probably should have specified this in the signed text
asciilifeform: it should go without saying that asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation_8685d541f20bcfe8d8cc9fefba663dd861f7b237.patch is not a tree candidate !
asciilifeform: ?
asciilifeform: (from trinque's)
asciilifeform: ^ wat.
asciilifeform: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.4/../../../../lib64/libpthread.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
asciilifeform: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.4/../../../../lib64/libpthread.a(pthread_cond_wait.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `__gcc_personality_v0' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
asciilifeform: the integer retardation patch includes the one from portatron
asciilifeform: <nubbins`> ok alf i'm applying all 3 of your patches << wai wat, 3?!
asciilifeform: ^ dns query !!
asciilifeform: bbl, gotta buy food.
asciilifeform: iirc, in the spot where the thing learns own ip.
asciilifeform: there is yet another
asciilifeform: now that i read that patch, i notice that it does not eliminate -all- occurrences of the dns crapolade
asciilifeform: ALSO
asciilifeform: i never got around to shitting out a patch to remove the hardcoded seedz
asciilifeform: but passed on commmandline
asciilifeform: which, in turn, should not be the hardcoded idiocy
asciilifeform: once you dump dns seeder, you gotta have some live nodes (!!!) in the seed list
asciilifeform: careful with that one
asciilifeform: bitcoin does not need dns for anythign!
asciilifeform: apply dns-zap patch.
asciilifeform: fortunately we don't have to fill this swamp today
asciilifeform: can barely make out which way the barrel points
asciilifeform: it's solid rust
asciilifeform: jurov: appreciate that what we are attempting with static build is like digging out one of those lugers ru kids routinely find in the ground and trying to fire it
asciilifeform: or whatnot.
asciilifeform: just as you could have north america ruled by a sane ottoman empire.
asciilifeform: could.
asciilifeform: mega-l0l!
asciilifeform: l0l
asciilifeform: failed how
asciilifeform: trinque: from earlier link
asciilifeform: 'friar sank to his knees! sacred sensation! miracle proclaimed! blessed defecation!'
asciilifeform: soooooooo many ways to arrange four bytes.
asciilifeform: (or insert a more appropriate prelude to a punishment to fit the crime)
asciilifeform: i wonder what would be his 'reasons' after a few days of hanging upside-down over a cobra pit.
asciilifeform: and, would probably come up with 'reasons'
asciilifeform: with a straight face.
asciilifeform: someone actually wrote that.
asciilifeform: there's u_int32_t defined in sys/types.h but not uint32_t << ahahahahaha.
asciilifeform: it is normally fished out of a pre-existing latrine.
asciilifeform: because it is uncommon for the enemy to -invent- a turd ab initio
asciilifeform: this is a fine point but not unimportant zoologically
asciilifeform: in many cases (quite arguably dns included) the turd was an ad-hoc hack from the days of arpa but was cemented in place because guess-why.
asciilifeform: even if they never met in the flesh
asciilifeform: zawinski lives next to lanier in my head and this is not accidental nor misleading
asciilifeform: i actually find it interesting how astonishingly well-clustered the 'digerati' set is.
asciilifeform: ^ the correct thing to expect.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: don't expect them to walk in voluntarily
asciilifeform: hunt the gnomes and drag them kicking, screaming, to the stake.
asciilifeform: one day we will have a simon wiesenthal of crapware.
asciilifeform: there is also the overall 'rust' resulting from no one ever building static anything whasoever for years.
asciilifeform: there is no conceivable technical justification for it, beyond sloth.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i cannot fathom why it was made this way, other than for the usual reasons.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in so far as i can tell, the problem in question is entirely shot in the head by my dns removal patch.
asciilifeform: (loadable modules are good for kernel dev work and really not much else.)
asciilifeform: oughta be in the next patch.
asciilifeform: iirc i killed 'loadable modules' on pogotron but forgot to disable the now-useless mod utils.
asciilifeform: reminds me
asciilifeform: to no surprise of mine
asciilifeform: but the list of 'should but doesn't' appears to grow, grow, every time we turn over a rock.
asciilifeform: many things 'should' xxxxx.
asciilifeform: 'i wus sentenced to hang not heads-off'
asciilifeform: (some prisoner in usa got a temporary stay of execution on this argument.)
asciilifeform: 'too fat to hang'
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-10-2014#883664 ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu even wrote an essay on the subject.
asciilifeform: !s monolith
asciilifeform: the colour essay
asciilifeform: ^ for the record.
asciilifeform: ther for treason against Friend Computer, since none of them are allowed to touch the paint, go near the hallway, or talk about their mission, and they're all charged with enforcing the rules on one another.'
asciilifeform: yone who breaks the rules is a Commie Mutant Traitor, subject to the death penalty. Much of the game revolves around the consequences of the security levels. For instance, Friend Computer might assign a team of Red Troubleshooters to re-paint a hallway that ought to be Orange but was painted Yellow by mistake the Commie Mutant Traitors. It's quite likely in such a case that the Troubleshooters will all end up shooting each o
asciilifeform: 'In Paranoia, everything has a colour-coded security level (from Infrared up to Ultraviolet) and everybody has a clearance on the same scale. You are not allowed to touch, or have any dealings with, anything that exceeds your clearance. If you're a Red Troubleshooter, you're not allowed to walk through an Orange door. Formally, you're not really supposed to even know about the existence of anything above your clearance. An
asciilifeform: and we -did- it here
asciilifeform: ^ that
asciilifeform: http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23
asciilifeform: !s what colour are your bits
asciilifeform: even if from purely psychiatric view
asciilifeform: to briefly return to thread, it is not a -total- waste of time to learn what usg imagines 'security' - for its private uses - means.
asciilifeform: to jwz et al, google simply 'is' - like the sun.
asciilifeform: ^ to a muppet, any deviation from his muppetology is a schizo paroxysm of irrational
asciilifeform: to the point of commissioning $maxint cpu archs that pretend to do it
asciilifeform: for those who don't follow the antics of lunatics: usg is -obsessed- with domain segregation
asciilifeform: unix perms are the proverbial 'pissing-section in swimming pool'
asciilifeform: but yes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually it is the dirty secret behind 40 yrs of unix
asciilifeform: ^
asciilifeform: but overall, folks who unrepentantly spout nonsense about one thing, damage their credibility re: other things.
asciilifeform doesn't practice voodoo
asciilifeform: it isn't just 'voodoo taint' from nsa.
asciilifeform: and even further discouraging genuine audit, as if this were possible or even necessary
asciilifeform: as if this did something tangible beyond making it even -less- fit-in-head.
asciilifeform: mats: selinux and similar are exemplary of usg approach to 'seek00r1ty' - add layers of 'granular' bureaucracy to the os
asciilifeform: mats: i can trivially make mincemeat of this by issuing raw dma cycles. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mats: grsec >> but the sheer nonsensicalness of pretending that kernel can limit what kernel can do. consider this claim: 'Through PaX's UDEREF and KERNEXEC features, grsecurity forces any userland data access to go through an approved accessor and rejects any attempt to execute userland code in kernel context.'
asciilifeform: but not merely the fact of.
asciilifeform: aha.
asciilifeform: mats: guess.
asciilifeform: i invoke mircea_popescu's maxim that 'if there is anything good in it, it will have to be reinvented naively'
