mircea_popescu: the
thing with
the 10minute / 2km range is
that in most circumstances,
this is a half hour distance. if you have
to drive it - gotta park, unpark, holy shit. most people live within 2km of
their friends anyway.
Framedragger: ah yeah,
the "terabytes of USB keys in
truck" data rate
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is quite viable, if
the animal spends
ten minutes in flight and carries say 32 GB sticks you're looking at
mircea_popescu: another
thing i'd like
to see prototyped is quadcopter mediated data exchange. have
the guy plug out a usb stick from one back panel, fly it over, plug it into another back panel.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-12 14:23 Framedragger: i
think rtl-sdr dongles may be enough, no?
Framedragger: yawell, don't forget, routing is not a
trivial problem.
this is only
the very beginning, i
think. an occasion nonetheless
though, surely!
mircea_popescu: truth being
that
this is a historical occasion, with actually correct, well designed internet within grasp
Framedragger: indeed, indeed. hence an itch
to
try
things over radio whilst reading
those comments
there
mircea_popescu: as people (alf, mostly) pointed out in
the intervening coupla years,
there's absolutely no sane reason
to marry gossipd
to extant-internet, or
tcp/ip or etc, as
the original draft was
trying
to
mircea_popescu: but honestly, gossipd as a finished product can not possibly come other
than with a mesh-over-wifi and mesh-over-radio ready made.
Framedragger: entirely unrelated: wouldn't it be somethin'
to
test out some gossipd ideas over *actual* cheap long wave or whatever wave radio devices between
these here people?
mircea_popescu: (it's also a wonder why
they don't
teach girls
to masturbate in sex ed / have special sherub camps etc.)
mircea_popescu: but in
the meanwhile, why not
try everything see what works. you could call it fuckd-dc
mircea_popescu: i was just being facetious! no such article is being prepared! sorry
to disappoint.
Framedragger: wouldn't exactly object
to reading
that. girls sometimes are not in
the know, either, which is pffft.
mircea_popescu: coming next on
trilema, a butterfly classification by preferred wrist motion. learn
to distinguish
the circular girl from
the more common sideways girl and
the very rare vertical motion girl.
Framedragger may have been hinted at
this very night.
the laziness is sometimes frustratin'!
mircea_popescu: now you know what "baby i'm spent but if you wanna come over we can watch porn and do
the butterfly" means.
Framedragger: (phenomenological clarity notwithstanding, it's not super clear. word may come from old english butere (wiktionary), but
that's only one explanation. no/few cited sources it seems)
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-12: [11:46:17] <Framedragger> and also from
the cve, "The vulnerability can be exploited even if security modules SELinux and AppArmor are installed with default active policies for MySQL service on major Linux distributions."
mircea_popescu: (pretty obvious
to me : if you run finger over winds,
the sensation is of buttery smoothness, esp if expression is restricted
to
the field of experience at
the
time.)
mircea_popescu: incidentally, how
the fuck did
the "butterfly" misspelling of a flutterby catch on ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in any case more
than what slashdot provides. so
there could be a dark slashdot somewhere ?
mircea_popescu: no, we're
talking 17k different ips, plenty with garbled or no user agent, so you know. linked behind a password "protected" forum or w/e.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well, it's
the 2nd most read article
this month, which i've never seen before for a recent piece.
mircea_popescu is starting
to suspect darknet larger
than previously estimated.
mircea_popescu: and in other irrelevant news,
that article's
the weirdest
thing i ever saw. apparently it attracted huge interest - but is linked virtually nowhere.
mircea_popescu: trinque i know i brought
this on myself, but an unsubscribe will be useful so i don't get everything on gossipd spec
twice lol
mircea_popescu: gotta start somewhere. and
that somewhere is always
the same : everyone steps out of his mother's cunt covered in blood and guts, not
to mention shit half
the
time.
mircea_popescu: a good part of why "shared hosting" as a fiction for
the masses moved
to "cloud hosting" as a fiction for
the masses being
that
there was already no way
to secure a lamp environment enough
to multiuser it.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-12 11:44 Framedragger: summary by one lucb1e, "people
that can run queries on your MySQL server, either by legit access (shared webhosting or something else) or via an SQL-injection vulnerability, can execute commands
that might root your server. Looking at
the PoC, it seems possible
to overwrite any file
that
the MySQL user (or whichever user MySQL runs as) can write
to."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's
to expand
though ?
the
thing with secrets is
that someone will be leaking
them ; much like
the
thing with chastity vows. now find him, etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i know. but
this is
the nominalist axion. you're stuck with some level of simon says
mircea_popescu: the "secret
tx pool"
thing is
trivial in
theory ; in practice it opens you
to a whole cat and mouse game and it didn't seem
to me we're
there yet.
mircea_popescu: (notice also, for
the sake of stating
the obvious -
that what glyphs one's monitor displays is a matter of local configuration ;
that if one wishes
to
type ζ and have a certain bot respond with a search
that someone is encouraged
to look into macros, keybindings, or whatever solution of
this problem his locale prefers ; finally
that nothing keeps asciilifeform from getting phf
to have a111 behave any arbitrary way in #asciil
trinque: so
then no one mine's atop your block, and what
trinque: new prefixes are worth it in
that
they allow command name overlap.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-12: [04:59:38] <asciilifeform> but no
takers, mega-surprise.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-12 10:00 mircea_popescu:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160912/#76 << i recall explaining
then, but i guess it didn't stick :
the fact
that
transactions are malleable means no such
thing as a "high only" pool may exist - others can malleate your "high only"
txn and mine
them as lows. meanwhile network effects prevent you building a mining farm
that mines high-s
txn : unless you control a significant portion of
the hash, you will just mine orphans.
trinque: point being
then can discover prefixes and commands.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah,
truly
there isn't, and
truly
tis a problem. but your question wasn't "hey, shouldn't we have a canonical manual of commands or something ?"
to which
the answer would have been "go, write" rather
than
tomato.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-12 09:32 mircea_popescu: Framedragger be a darling move it
to !$
thanks.
trinque: one bot saw
the other's link.
mircea_popescu: moreover nothing prevents emergent/de facto specs.
the job of
the gossipd spec is
to keep people from doing world-breaking idiotic stuff. how
they handle
their own wives is
their own problem.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: gotcha. i felt shy because all
these other smart people don't comment on
the article, damn
their restraint
