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"
mircea_popescu: random derps are willing to send you a copy. if you trust them. signatures ? wots ? wut ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field hopefully i get the fetlife femmes pissy enough to combust.
mircea_popescu: dignork it's not a matter of logging it. it's a matter of, php no longer sees the source
mircea_popescu: all the boyish idiocy of "software development" needs to go die in a fire.
mircea_popescu: which is a retarded domain language with consturcts like
mircea_popescu: and i know this, incidentally, because i have meanwhile learned "vcl"
mircea_popescu: supposedly THIS is why we're wasting all the money on "ip" enforcement : so that i am not in this position where i can say the above.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field the actual sad hell is not this. it is that i will solve it, and that will serve ABSOLUTELY NOBODY
mircea_popescu: who meanwhile sold it to some derp-ass host corp, that wants 9 bux a year. for what exactly ? a script ?
mircea_popescu: or you could install apachebooster, which is... a wrapper on nginx and varnish, by "prajith"
mircea_popescu: because totally, that's the stack you want, 8 things long
mircea_popescu: "it might be nginx, it might me mod_rpaf, it might be mod_futipemata ; some of these have been forked. the way to install them is make the whole fucking
httpd-devel mircea_popescu: it "mostly" does the job, every time. it NEVER actually does the job. not ever.
mircea_popescu: and so here we are, AGAIN : foss is perfectly fucking useless.
mircea_popescu: obviously, it will fuck up the source IP for requests. it's not obvious how to get apache to fix this.
mircea_popescu: it is obviously trivial to get varnish installed, and it will cache.
mircea_popescu: "I see a lot of people complaining about the horrible stuff looters and rioters are doing in Baltimore. This is what the media wants you to see, this is the negative side. This is being shown over and over to make you forget that a man had his SPINE SEVERED in police custody. So here are 10,000 people peacefully protesting today that no one seems to be talking about."
mircea_popescu: the table came up to a level position, dishes and all! He said he could lift a keg of nails with his teeth. He picked up a common glass tumbler and bit a semi-circle out of it. Then he opened his bosom and showed us a net-work of knife and bullet scars; showed us more on his arms and face, and said he believed he had bullets enough in his body to make a pig of lead. He was armed to the teeth. He closed with the remark
mircea_popescu: The table we were sitting at was about five feet long, and unusually cumbersome and heavy. He asked us to put our hands on the dishes and hold them in their places a moment—one of them was a large oval dish with a portly roast on it. Then he sat down, tilted up one end of the table, set two of the legs on his knees, took the end of the table between his teeth, took his hands away, and pulled down with his teeth till
mircea_popescu: "Very well, gentlemen, if we must fight, we must, I suppose. But don't rush into danger and then say I gave you no warning. I am more than a match for all of you when I get started. I will give you proofs, and then if my friend here still insists, I will try to accommodate him."
mircea_popescu: nt. The stranger smiled, smoothed out the hat, and offered it to Brown with profuse apologies couched in caustic sarcasm, and begged Brown not to destroy him. Brown threw off his coat and challenged the man to fight—abused him, threatened him, impeached his courage, and urged and even implored him to fight; and in the meantime the smiling stranger placed himself under our protection in mock distress. But presently he
mircea_popescu: I remember an instance of a desperado's contempt for such small game as a private citizen's life. I was taking a late supper in a restaurant one night, with two reporters and a little printer named—Brown, for instance—any name will do. Presently a stranger with a long-tailed coat on came in, and not noticing Brown's hat, which was lying in a chair, sat down on it. Little Brown sprang up and became abusive in a mome
mircea_popescu: and even before that, by mark twain, who observed that gunslingers think nothing of killing random derps.
mircea_popescu: and for the record, the "we only whack each other" behaviour is documented last fucking century. by... sinatra!
mircea_popescu: what's next, italian gangster and italian greengrocer = "italians" ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this latter part is not implemented yet. because power braindamage.
