BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This talk of sweatship printing as
a necessity, yes if everything is old trilems!
mircea_popescu: putting
a bunch of binaries with
a bunch of dependency hell in the core of the system init process isn't technical ?
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, I don't think I could have been more perfect if I tried :P < yeah sometime being
a jerk hels you not get stuff.
pankkake: just list
a valid technical point of why systemd is bad and I'll listen. as I said, the criticism I see just show lack of knowledge of both systemd and existing init systems
RagnarDanneskjol: hold them off for
a few days if possible. are you working onsite or is it remote?
Azelphur: I grumbled at them about the contract because it's
a "We own your soul" level evil
Azelphur: pankkake: yea, there are
a few
assbot: Cozy,
a personal cloud you can hack, host and delete
Azelphur: tbh all I really want from
a job is enough to put
a small amount away into BTC every month, then I can retire before too long :P
Azelphur: pay isn't too great but at least it's
a start :)
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I did say I would love
a job at ownCloud quite clearly, I think they aren't looking to hire people tbh :)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: When MpU is
a thing, I'll keep your books from rotting
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, I don't think I could have been more perfect if I tried :P
mircea_popescu: think for
a second. it's
a business, right ? it pays for your ticket to come over, that's
a job interview.
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
BingoBoingo: Azelphur: You mentioned the friend with
a 486, if you've ever used
a TI-89 you can convert him to saner options
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I haven't really touched investments beyond sitting on bitcoin for
a while now
BingoBoingo: Azelphur: You just met me, you barely know what hardware I like. How can you presume to make
a "cloud" I'd like?
BingoBoingo: What the internet means though is that some nigga's Mac SE/30 is just as much
a first class citizen as sum bitches Samsung galaxy s8
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: I have
a friend you'd like, he still has
a 486 :P
BingoBoingo: Azelphur: You realize this highlights
a prime problem wrought by the nternet, right?
BingoBoingo: You can run XFCE 4.10 on
a motorola 68030...
Azelphur: it all talks CalDAV afaik, but I wouldn't be caught dead on
a Mac so...
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: it has one, uses CalDAV so will integrate with anything else you have, the Calendar rewrite is also nearly finished with
a bunch of new features.
mircea_popescu: nowadays it's just about to tip over into sanity. well done scheneir, you win
a trip to suck my cock :D
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.
BingoBoingo: even though actual solutions have existed for
a long time
BingoBoingo: Azelphur: Owncloud seems like
a iCloud/Dropbox marketing stunt
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!"
mircea_popescu: yeah, but most of them are fortunate enough to be poor, and lucky enough to live in countries that aren't built like the inside of
a cattle ranch.
BingoBoingo: I'll search for the hat when I sober up. Just juggling
a bunch of foreigners atm
assbot: /mwlauthor You wrote the openbsd book, mind joining /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash-assets for
a bit on freenode?
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: pankkake: You know what works with systemV init?
A/UX
BingoBoingo: What I am seriously curious about is why does no other person in BTC have
a cool story to tell about their FBI encounter?
mircea_popescu: if i don't like what
a script does, i edit it. if i don't like what
a binary does, i ... ?
mircea_popescu: well yes, but these seem
a bunch of binaries instead ?
pankkake: it's
a bunch of shell scripts that do just that
mircea_popescu: "11. Ultimately, systemd's parasitism is symbolic of something more than systemd itself. It shows
a radical shift in thinking by the Linux community. Not necessarily
a positive one, either. One that is vehemently postmodern, monolithic, heavily desktop-oriented, choice-limiting, isolationist, reinvents the flat tire, and just
a huge anti-pattern in general. If your goal is to pander to the lowest common denominator, so
mircea_popescu: srsly, it does all that AND it does it all as
a single pid, AND it fixes which pid ? help me rwanda, what is this, microshit's fired
a lot of "engineers" ?
mircea_popescu: "systemd clusters itself into PID 1. Due to it controlling lots of different components, this means that there are tons of scenarios in which it can crash and bring down the whole system. But in addition, this means that plenty of non-kernel system upgrades will now require
a reboot."
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 ?)
mircea_popescu: "It's also worth noting that systemd will refuse to start as
a user instance, unless the system boots with it as well"
mircea_popescu: systemd's journal files (handled by journald) are stored in
a complicated binary format2, and must be queried using journalctl. This makes journal logs potentially corruptible, as they do not have ACID-compliant transactions. You typically don't want that to happen to your syslogs. The advice of the systemd developers? Ignore it. No, seriously. Oh, and there's embedded HTTP server integration (libmicro
httpd). QR codes
mircea_popescu: "1. systemd flies in the face of the Unix philosophy: "do one thing and do it well," representing
a complex collection of dozens of tightly coupled binaries1. Its responsibilities grossly exceed that of an init system, as it goes on to handle power management, device management, mount points, cron, disk encryption, socket API/inetd, syslog, network configuration, login/session management, readahead, GPT partition disco
mircea_popescu: "We do recognize the need for
a new init system in the 21st century, but systemd is not it."
pankkake: wake me up if you ever have
a technical argument, and actually used the thing. I have written enough init scripts to know what's what
chetty: never update until the update has been out in wide use for at least
a year
BingoBoingo:
A/UX worked, Solaris up to version 8 worked, FUCK DEBIAN!
pankkake: I can't wait until Debian finally trashes its init system. the thing can't even tell you reliably if
a daemon is running
assbot:
A Law Enforcement Encounter: If you ran
a Bitcoin related service before the thing hit $100 you prolly ought to be somewhat concerned and/or prepared | Bingo Blog
BingoBoingo: bitstein: Have you ever dealt with
a truely grave pelvic injury?
BingoBoingo: You've got
a good thing, your master gave it
a good name.
bitstein: ha, yea. i have
a lot of logs to catch up on.
cazalla: what's with the sore across from clit and down
a bit?
BingoBoingo wonders how Discus fish got to be
a pool name sake
mircea_popescu: i hear
a quite distinct fear in the voice of these people.
BingoBoingo: The difficulty is, if you've lived this life (and not been
a stupid git going la la la in
a bubble) for
a long time, you learn to do certain things on auto pilot that, to someone looking for
a "suspicious person" may ring bells. e.g. Take different routes, stay very aware of surroundings and people, avoid cameras (who the hell wants to be on the internet besides Jerod?), and for God's sake, sit facing the door of the restaurant!
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Still better than risperidone which makes me produce dairy like
a moo cow while trembling liek micheal J fox. << wait you actually were speaking out of experience ?!
BingoBoingo: Crawfish are
a huge pain though because they NEED moving water
BingoBoingo: jdanks: Yes, tilapia are the worst in every sense. If you propose it to them as
a food, they eat it.
jdanks: cazalla when I'm outside having
a cig they love jumping for it. Hell you can have anything in your hand and they will swarm you.
cazalla: with spring here, i'm going to build
a proper coop and run for some more once some pullets are available locally
jdanks: cazalla I have 4 leghorns, 3 rhode island reds,
a couple barred rocks, and 3 black hens that are either australorp, buff orphington, or jersey giant
RagnarDanneskjol: ;;rate jdanks 2 is good people, quality eggs, also confirmed to be
a living human being
BingoBoingo: jdanks: What are you growing? My chile looks splendid this year, but it probably is within 48 hours of being
a health hazard/
jdanks: I am to not be trusted. Rolled in here on my tumbleweed. We do have
a surprising amount of those in LA
BingoBoingo: Still better than risperidone which makes me produce dairy like
a moo cow while trembling liek micheal J fox.
BingoBoingo: Not that I like Lithium. It takes all of 3 days to make my flanks hurt like
a whipped bitch.
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: You may be using different definitions of "be" and "feel" in this context than I would. I mean I've enjoyed my least time in
a locked ward.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i wouldn't be in his shoes in the first place,. not having
a tendency to get involved with scummy shit.
mircea_popescu: i still don't see what i could contribute, were i in the guy;s shoes and some third parties having had
a bet
BingoBoingo: I'm in the position of imagining it would be better to make
a nice dry rub and drag the subject here by his loins.
punkman: coming from
a place where director actually means something, I'd be more inclined to go with Yes
BingoBoingo: I just can't believe I'm in
a position to win stupid BTC on yes and still, at least in ernest (the victorian) arguing that I might be in line for nothing.
BingoBoingo: punkman: Sure it was, but when
a frog gets ready to spawn...
BingoBoingo: The yes interpretations of the brock bet leave
a lot of room for educating the niggerboard on meaning
BingoBoingo: Is this
a director fiber or
a member fiber?
BingoBoingo:
A board is nothing but what it can be composed of
BingoBoingo: Is this
a board of members or
a board of directors?
RagnarDanneskjol: "statements that can not univocally be established as either true or false at
a certain point in the future are BadBets and as such unacceptable on BitBet. For instance, "God Exists" is unacceptable, because it can never be established as either true or false."
punkman: they call it
a board of directors in their bylaws, which are supposed to be current
BingoBoingo: Not that blunt piece of shit cazalla, get me
a fucking sharp #10!
