mircea_popescu: there ISNT a bmw here. it's varnish or nginx. that's it. not like i'm running unheard-of-software
mircea_popescu: see jurov, the thing is... i have the OPTION to not own obscure exotic cars whose maker went out of business shortly after starting because he sucked.
mircea_popescu: and cars NEVER worked like software works, outside of a laurel and ollie short
mircea_popescu: "musta been a different car - and - gasoline combination i guess. going back (on foot) to gas station trying some more combos"
mircea_popescu: "yes i know five billion people found it before. and yet..."
mircea_popescu: "sorry honey, can't come to dinner, i'm apparently unable to find the entry to the brooklyn bridge today"
mircea_popescu: jurov dude, come on, it's ridiculous. imagine if cars worked like software works.
mircea_popescu: it would have been cheaper to buy a server. if i were to bill 8 hours it'd be enough to buy a fucking rack, and that's for doing stuff i actually like doing.
mircea_popescu: lesson learned ... do not try to actually use software.
mircea_popescu: finally found a way to do that. EXCEPT it injects random data at random intervals, i end up with "ips" like "8�b]"
mircea_popescu: ok, so the sad story of my wasted day : first, instlaled varnish in 10 minutes, but then spent 4 hours trying to get ip forwarding.
mircea_popescu: mike_c yeah, im a day wasted in here. i could waste another one. sure.
mircea_popescu: EVERY human looking to sell his future is into smoking dope.
mircea_popescu: im not sure you understand the difference between natural and constructive persons
mircea_popescu: this was kinda popular with "artists" thinking themsleves above prostitution on myfreecams and etsy.
mircea_popescu: "expose a box to the net just to fetch changes" << what, you want it to divine the changes ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, noiw im getting shit like Host: H\x92_\x02 in the logs.
mircea_popescu: jurov how do i contribute signed non-bitcoin code to the great codex ?
mircea_popescu: please everyone do report any bullshit coming from trilema!
mircea_popescu: someone be so kind to leave a comment on trilema so i see if teh ip is alright ?
mircea_popescu: now back to the issue : the "backported" thing compiles. apache has no care in the world.
mircea_popescu: the other way to look at this is that everyone involved in computer software should be sent back to third grade
mircea_popescu: "there's free as in beer, free as in freedom, and free as in your time has no value"
mircea_popescu: 448 lines. i am not happy with a dollar a line. not that i'm getting paid or anything.
mircea_popescu: moreover, if i do know some guys who trust him, the cost of obtaining a new Takashi Takizawa is not equal to s/Takashi Takizawa/Takashi Takizawa/
mircea_popescu: incidentally, this is what the stack of shit is built on. "oh, little step X can't be too hard"
mircea_popescu: yeah, i am looking forward to reviewing random code for free.
mircea_popescu: so what's the wot vote, do i thank " Takashi Takizawa" for his work and download random code offa da github ?
mircea_popescu: If you are running Apache 2.2, you can thank Takashi Takizawa for backporting mod_remoteip for Apache 2.2.X servers and posting it on his GitHub as mod_remoteip_
httpd22. mircea_popescu: EasyApache overrides Apache 2.4's default settings and builds modules statically to provide backward compatibility.
mircea_popescu: Apache 2.4 uses a dynamic modular structure by default. This potentially can cause problems if a LoadModule directive calls a module that was not built into the Apache binary.
mircea_popescu: among the changes from 2.2 to 2.4 (current) ? alf will appreciate this
mircea_popescu: With your preferred file transfer method, upload the custom module's archive file to your server's /var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/ directory.
mircea_popescu: Download the custom module archive file to your computer.
mircea_popescu: To install a custom module, perform the following steps on the command line as the root user:
mircea_popescu: because much like ada, brainfuck is an actually specified language
☟︎ mircea_popescu: maybe i could reimplement apache in php first! then i could run varnish (reimplemented in php too) in front of it and not lose the ips.
mircea_popescu: how is it like varnish at all ? it's a php script neh ?
mircea_popescu: i thouht it's just off you know, as i happened to look at it. but no, they have blogposts about it
mircea_popescu: dignork the only way you would be allowed to write code, in a world where "hey, if infrastructure changes code needs to change" is with index lists of "all lines affected by X - here" "all lines affected by Y - here"
mircea_popescu: think about it. why the fuck should the code have to know about this. and if it does have to know about this, why aren't ALL the code references affected by any of such a change cross-indexed somewhere ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the most insulting thing is that while the wisdom seems to be "eh, change the code", there does not exist a master list where you know, all the code dependencies are nicely cross-referenced, so i can just go "fuckup-php for-the-ip-poroxy-issue"
