diana_coman: asciilifeform, what did you use then? I'm not
a huge fan of iptables in any way and this have-to-recompile-kernel doesn't help but I don't know of anything else that is better
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 14:34 mircea_popescu: well this promises to be
a serio0us problem that can't be winged, but will require some thought ; in part because i don't directly see the difference ; and in part because i don't really think
a machine without
a functioning way to limit access to it is actually seaworthy.
trinque: except that the product of the build isn't bootable without one, but build takes the kernel config as
a parameter, so it can indeed be entirely separate
a111: Logged on 2018-08-01 21:28 diana_coman: after reading around on this mess with the usb speeds, the summary + questions would be: 1. the dwc_otg seems actually specific to raspberry pi so I don't see how it's directly useful atm; am I missing something? 2. the manual/runtime pill so far relies on the companion mechanism to force
a USB port down from "high speed" to "full speed" so basically from ehci to uhci/ohci; wouldn't it make more sense to blacklist ehci, xhci and whatever
mircea_popescu: but yes, evidently the (undiagnosed ; are these people morons ?!) problem is that "anything could be
a firewall rule", ie, this is
a place where the scripting turns upon the whole machine state. which makes me suspoect there's
a more fundamental error at work somewhere (possibly the very attempt to build
a pantsuit net, allcomers-based, possibly something else), but until we get
a fix on that...
☟︎ mircea_popescu: diana_coman 's thing above serving as
a "no less than" seeing how minigame is
a major downstream adopter ; and the usual "more loc ?! fu!" as
a "no more than" driver.
diana_coman: it is asciilifeform's kernel indeed; iptables or something else to limit access though I think is
a must on
a server
trinque: there is an extremely broad category of possible iptables/netfilter doodads with which to make
a firewall, router, etc. I could certainly see use in defining
a subset of what's available as standard.
mircea_popescu: i mean, it'd be ok for
a terminal. but as
a server it gotta have something-like-iptables neh ?
mircea_popescu: well this promises to be
a serio0us problem that can't be winged, but will require some thought ; in part because i don't directly see the difference ; and in part because i don't really think
a machine without
a functioning way to limit access to it is actually seaworthy.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so in this sense, if "iptables" as
a module requires recompilation in order for the scripting to work, it's exactly like
a car which, upon turning the wheel, puts up an order for
a new car via the useful app instead of turning the wheels.
mircea_popescu: even though
a car with fixed wheel inclination would be more robust and cheaper to build.
mircea_popescu: it's my understanding that the point of adding scriptability to
a program is exactly that : to permit changes in its functioning ("configuration") without requiring
a whole recompile. much like the point of adding
a steering wheel in
a car is to permit the car to take arbitrary curves, as scripted at time of driving. rather than having to driver (how?) car back to factory get
a new one with the differently inclined wheelbase.
mircea_popescu: this sounds like
a terrible way to go about it. what, fiddling with iptables = kernel rebuild ? why even have
a scriptable config if this is how it goes, jaysus
BingoBoingo: Well,
a good chunk of it is the when of being around people
cazalla: i did get out of my head, i hear (and have read from your own account) what you're saying, went out on
a few day trips with the locals and spoke to them etc
cazalla: surprised enough i got
a plane and went overseas.. really should've done that shit
a long time ago
BingoBoingo: Was actually published
a few hours ago, but Freenode weather
BingoBoingo: Oh, crap I went for
a walk and missed cazalla
cazalla: i'll give it some thought and planning, likely go back october/november once it cools
a bit more
cazalla: yeah, i get that, but the taiwanese speak/read/write
a different chinese to the mainlanders, as to how different it is i don't know
mircea_popescu: this is one of the places where
a honest fail is worth some chunk of
a flat success.
mircea_popescu: well, are you going back ? we've been trying to hire
a sinoslut for ages.
cazalla: well, i just got back from
a month bumming around taiwan, probably says enough
trinque: will cut
a release with the v-tronic portage shortly and we can see if that also breaks for ya.
PeterL: then you fill it with
a creamy potato soup and basically fall into
a starch fueled happy coma after you're done eating
mircea_popescu: in my old age i barely dare
a coupla slices
a day. and no, they're not footwide slices either ;/
mircea_popescu: that's
a lot of bread! how long till you go through that ?
PeterL: it sounds like
a nice place to visit
PeterL: she does get the "randomly selected" additional security screening every time she goes through
a US airport, we assume it is just because of "lives in turkey", but maybe she is on
a terrorist watch list somewhere
mircea_popescu: i outright deny it is possible to build anything other than
a ~model~ mosque in the new world.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 15:53 mircea_popescu: in fact, thinking about it, me and you might be the ONLY TO people present who've even ever been inside
a mosque
mircea_popescu: PeterL how in are you to begin with ? pick
a rifle stand
a post ; alternatively pick
a lord help out in his castle ; alternatively may i suggest radiomodelism ? or perhaps fishing ?
a111: Logged on 2018-08-30 13:22 mircea_popescu: the overarching point being that neither #trilema nor tmsr is
a sort of dilbert-larping-zone, here for the
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845588 "salaried zek" element to gather after hours, smoke, and predictably if circularly discuss how-stupid-everyone-but-us-is.
mircea_popescu: i put in the more egregious ones, such as "timeout 260 seconds" coming BEFORE
a message and such nonsense. but really...
trinque: it has been
a waste of my time to investigate every instance of this, always ending up with "bot thought it was connected, was not"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform takes
a while and very good quality mechanicals.
mircea_popescu:
a man divided upon himself can not stand. let people looking for mockybot gaze upon mockycock, it's good for them.
Mocky: mircea_popescu, it's not new just sitting unused. I'll use blog, yes. If I find
a use for the alternate, will be ready to go
mircea_popescu: i even saw ancient "invention", was pretty entertaining : barrel has holes cut, through which walls can fall in. as the projectile moves through barrel it clicks the supports walls fall behind it, leaving
a chamber. low pressure (ordinary 50kg air compressor) resulting in common bullet shooting at supersonic speeds.
Mocky: I'm getting "#pizarro :Cannot send to nick/channel" so will just drop this here: I created
a dir named 'wwwhabeeb' in my shared hosting account. can you set me up to have domain mockyhabeeb.com be fed from that?
mircea_popescu: make
a lengthy light barrel, do most of the acceleration towards the end, loose less energy to ^5 rule.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, ~that~ may be
a good use of ye olde pellet gun.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 01:53 mircea_popescu: time to learn that there's
a time to grease, if one aims to avoid anal rape lubed in own blood.
mircea_popescu: the fall of the pantsuit citadel depends on technology transfer. ending the bullshit one impregnable fortress at
a time.
mircea_popescu would like to point out at this juncture that the fellow known as orban was in fact very not hungarian, but
a transylvanian fellow. from brasov.
mircea_popescu: there's
a lot of this in late byzantine artefactry, too, btw.

a) they are 100% cheap-ass white label crap, exactly indistinct from what douchebag would run and b) entirtely not representative of 1% of the stock of the brick and mortar store.
mircea_popescu: there, the republic has equipped you with
a very useful book in dealing with the locals.
hanbot: mircea_popescu hanbot also had
a good chuckle when diana_coman's kiddo found the backseat stash: "i've found
a thing!"
diana_coman: no, no,there was
a bit more for 2nd evening :P
diana_coman: well, it was so good, we kept sipping it and then it would have been
a pity to leave behind and then it's ugly to pack an opened bottle and so ...we finished it :P

a coffee shop

a comp on airplanes! sit on throne, in beach, drink rum, instead' )
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 16:24 diana_coman: to me apple stuff is still essentially
a fashion item and yes, usually that comes with insanity as far as I can tell
mircea_popescu: because average ustard actually perceives that
a) limiting himself to his broke-ass, never-seen-money-in-life compatriots is not merely an acceptable business strategy, but legally mandatory and b) the correct response to "unexpected situation" is "nopenopenopenopenope".
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 16:21 asciilifeform: in (mostly) unrelated lulz, recently asciilifeform found himself visiting several different crapple shops, and standing in
a queue for hours, sov-style, simply to submit for repair
a crapple lappy (2 yr old !) with swollen battery, whole thing looked like spoiled food tin
