mircea_popescu: <bounce> I suspect an expert would gather
a few good trackers and catch the guy in
a week with ~30 people or so. << what trackers. this is 2014.
mircea_popescu: so there's this theatre right outside my windo, where
a derpy guy does i dunno what dances.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> why would you wear devices to make the piss cling to you ?! << This is why I suspect
a bit of cargo cult happening
decimation: "Key to the NSA's approval is the ability of the Spartan-6Q device to isolate user functionality within
a single device while maintaining tamper proofing. The NSA completed
a fail-safe analysis effort on the Spartan-6Q family to confirm that the individual regions of the FPGA are isolated from each other in the event of failure. "
decimation: satan would have to know
a great deal about you design
decimation: satan's fpga could have
a bugged embedded cpu
decimation: they have little 'units' of logic glued together, with
a little look-up table to determine how each one functions
bounce: you'd at least have access from the gate design on up, already
a bit more than COTS CPUs give you
decimation: yeah there's
a spectrum between 'honest mistake' and 'massive fuck-up'
bounce: tangentially, shouldn't it be feasible to get decent performance out of
a suitably open-and-accessible-microcode cpu running on some fpga or other these days?
decimation: kakobrekla:
a worthy dream, but the problem is that if everyone did that, then nobody would make such
a platform
kakobrekla: nah. basically everyone should just drop their keyboards and stop coding until there exists
a platform where not guilty by default (of using it)
bounce: but an overly large list would be counter-productive;
a valid concern.
decimation: asciilifeform: the next step: somehow get
a unix distribution that completely excludes contributions from the lustration list
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> what's the most they're going to do ? pay 20k
a year for his support ? << Incarceration, especially at the federal level is rarely so inexpensive for the jailers
mircea_popescu: what's the most they're going to do ? pay 20k
a year for his support ?
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah that appears to be the situation. I don't understand how
a gui desktop 'requires'
a particular init system
decimation: if the guy is such
a brilliant woodsman why is he leaving trash for others to find?
decimation: asciilifeform: so I tried to install gentoo in
a vm last night, was disappointed that it wanted me to install systemd. apparently one should install 'minimal' and then bootstrap software stack
bounce: I suspect an expert would gather
a few good trackers and catch the guy in
a week with ~30 people or so.
bounce: they're having
a field day, then
BingoBoingo: For all we know Frein is just
a Richard Jewell who has simply retreated to jack off in the woods for
a few weeks and has no idea what is going on.
BingoBoingo: But if you are driving
a car around the backwoods under the cover of night, use the fucking headlights
TheNewDeal: So on bitbet, I know if you send
a tx to an address for an open bet, the address is reserved for you for the entirety of the bet. But is the addr supposed to hold the btc until the bet closes, or no?
BingoBoingo: the diapers are probably
a cargo cult thing, because the pros do it that way
BingoBoingo: Lights might make
a car visible, but crashing it because you kept them off, suspect!
BingoBoingo: "Authorities speculate that Frein, driving with his lights off on Pennsylvania Route 402, failed to see
a T-junction and drove into the swamp, then may have traveled 15 to 20 miles on foot to Canadensis, Pennsylvania, where his parents live." << Lesson here
gribble: You rated user assbot on Fri Apr 11 14:42:06 2014, with
a rating of 10, and supplied these additional notes: !up Periscope.
BingoBoingo: Basically Mpex's week+ summer vacation is the equivalent of assbot being down
a few hours.
kakobrekla: or proxy it or whatever else but its not like you guys cant take
a couple of hrs off
bounce: may want to drop ttl
a bit beforehand
ADutchGamer: So it's just
a matter of waiting
a few hours and then it will work?
bounce: can stick 178.62.225.203 in hosts for
a temporary solution
bounce reloaded named and it still shows up with the same thing. possibly
a SOA problem. oh well.
assbot: U.S. settlement with Navajo Nation is largest ever for
a tribe - LA Times
bounce: bit of
a difference between "rigging something up" (building something, say making good use of known principles such as laws of nature) and "rigging the system" (which recurses, say, playing the SEC)
pete_dushenski: looks like asciilifeform's вредителями has
a yiddish equivalent: nudnik
mircea_popescu: and if the system is uprooted, you really think something like its coiffure fashions
a la mastercard would somehow survive ? how.
bounce: hmno, I don't think rigging the system is
a good long-term strategy. it shouldn't be necessary, and if you think it is, you're venturing into empire territory.
xmj: some fucktard I ignore and haven't dealt with gave me
a -1 rating
mircea_popescu: this is for sure. they're
a part of it, like the hair styles of the late empire are part of the late empire.
mircea_popescu: but hey, props for trolling bounce into
a frenzy, i never saw him talk this much b4
mircea_popescu: dude reading this moriarty fellow interact with xmj is like watching
a drunk clown trying to ride
a cow with k-j, except the clown is really
a cow in clown costume and the cow really
a clown in cow costume and again adn again.
bounce: so,
a people of scolds, then
mircea_popescu: decimation: I don't get the jews. why do they care about jews? They are just
a small subset of europeans among the unwashed masses of europeans <<< you should learn yidish to see the things some jews think about some other jews.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform:
a professional scammer not scamming usg also, would be like
a pro mechanic who won't fix own car << these words.
mircea_popescu: decimation: apparently sabu of anonymous was living in
a usg welfare apartment << the great "we infiltrated them for once" success story ? myeahg.
mircea_popescu: you both can't be sovereign, so you got yourselves
a problem now.
kakobrekla: trading stream from exchanges will be down for
a short while.
kakobrekla: (first day i had it, it flew about 3m vertically on
a concrete floor)
☟︎ kakobrekla: you might not hammer
a nail with your microscope but i do it with my phone.
ben_vulpes: it's pathetic the things can't even open
a beer.
chetty: You think farnsworth had
a clue what TV would become? or cared?
mircea_popescu: not random examples. car : used individually, useful if used by
a lot ; parabolic mirrors : used globally, useful if used at all. washing hands : used individually, useful if used at all.
mircea_popescu: obviously i can appreciate your position : for all the banality of sex, it's still
a big deal to the virgin.
mircea_popescu: forget "hearts and minds", that's the telltale preoccupation of
a dying empire. concern yourself with the ground under their very feet and let them figure it out.
mircea_popescu: decimation: it is because of the dynamic range allowed in
a single blob <<< this is nonsense. the "range" is not intrinsic to the blob. the blob will only hold as much as it physicall can. what its concents mean to you, is entirely up to you
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: if you had
a truly clean break with the age of turdware - there would be
a market for about six machines. << this is diletante business analysis. you really only need one, provided it works. look into the early history of ford cars.
mircea_popescu: this is
a major cause of the foss taking so very long to be killed.
mircea_popescu: but unlike the other fucktards involved, he didn't go away into the night, and his efforts are at the root of why we even pose
a problem to the usg today in the first place.
