the DC had
the ip nullrouted

the attack.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, whatever, i'm not gonna debug shaders now. muh kb-wotn is broken and
that's
that.

mircea_popescu: "stack protectors" are such a dumbass idea, i swear. who are
they supposed
to help ?
the dumb user doesn't need
the stack protected, he needs programs
that don't smash it. and
the smart user doesn't need fucking blindfolds on, he needs honest, informative and actionable errors. wtf "generic fault of a generic
type"
mircea_popescu: at least now it's crashing properly, so i know what
the fuck
to do.
mircea_popescu: i suspect what's happening is
that
the gl is
trying
to do depth comparison on a
texture with no depth,
through a sampling shader. which...
mircea_popescu: there's a broken shader / nvidia card issue at work here, it's not what i
thought at first, pure spuriousness.
mircea_popescu: aaand meanwhile, managing
to bash a non-protected hand-compiled wine in
the playonlinux hairball has exposed
the underlying error : 002b:fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log 0(24) : warning C7050: "vs_out[11]" might be used before being initialized
mircea_popescu: wine per se is an attempt
to implement
the windows api in posix.
mircea_popescu: the problem being
that by now it escaped any sort of human control.
mircea_popescu: ^ kidna curious if anyone can
tell
the fracture, whereby mp couldn't find what he wanted, lost interest.
mircea_popescu: which is
the problem here --
there's nothing open source about
this atrocity.
mircea_popescu: if you compile it with -fstack-protector it fails in
this manner (not just on
this game, but many). if you compile it without, it works fine -- however
the downstream
tree (playonlinux etc) can't very well be coerced
to use it.
mircea_popescu: wine necessarily fucks around with
the stack, as part of what it DOES.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh,
there's no such
thing as sorta-clean
toilet.

mircea_popescu: but it didn't work when
ti didn't work because of
the program in question using exotic weird, not because "we shoot selves in foot with buggy half-working gcc stack protection misfeature"

mircea_popescu: and i can't write, because i need a reference i can no longer find.i have no fucking idea how
to fix
this sort of problem, nor do i
truly speaking expect it'll ever get fixed. so w/e, i guess ima
trash
this
thousand words and move on. except
the specter of "there's an X% chance you won't be able
to complete
the article you wish
to write" is sufficiently chilling
to permanently discourage one from even starting.
mircea_popescu: ke in
the windows days, entirely and utterly unfixable.
there's no alternate paths anymore, you can't get wine x
to work with pol y anymore
than you can get a chunk of windows nt
to drop-in replace some chunk of windows vista.
mircea_popescu: well so let's see here : i can't play, because after sinking however many hours in chasing dependencies and fixing assorted if widely distributed breakage
the end story is
that "foss" has managed
to really give
the whole game away --
there is ONE chain, consisting of play on linux so-and-so using wine-so-and-so on ubuntu
this-and-that, and you pray it works -- because if it doesn't work,
THAT IS IT, "there was an error" li
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other lulz : you may build and even install a proper wine (ie, configured without
the derp-ass gcc "stack protection",
that evidently doesn't work) ; and it'll even work, system-wide. however
that doesn't mean playonlinux won't stick
to its sadder, older version. and of course you can't just force-copy symlinks over in its holy directory, because
they're all brokenly relative, and gns resolution works as shown in
that p
mircea_popescu: can't fucking find anything on
this blog of mine, by now it's

☟︎☟︎ diana_coman: I'm not sure
the 2 groups are any different really
mircea_popescu: so i brought back screen
to manage
the
term sessions for
these idiots.
THIS is
the sense of progress : from 10.04
to 18.04,
they lost
terminal management, i'm back
to screen. i didn't actually use it in 10.04
mircea_popescu: and speaking of
terrible accessibility :
they changed
the
taskbar structure from purely linear
to a sorta broken
tree, so
that all
terminals snap
together into a single
terminal icon (holy shit WHY, everyone's
taskbar is 90%
terms and
that is
THE ONLY REASON
to even HAVE clickable
taskbars) so now i have
to do
two clicks, one
to bring up a derpy bubble and a second
to bring up
the wanted
terminal, which blows btw because n
diana_coman: pretty much when
they ask for flex, bison follows
mircea_popescu: or do you mean, "shipping broken" ? cuz sure, it is, but what
the fuck did
they put in
those FOUR cds ?
the gfx is shitty,
the accessibility broken and
the compiling dun werk.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-19 19:59 mircea_popescu: meanwhile continuing
the
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-19#1918697 nonsense : wine doesn't work worth a shit on
the new ubuntu. it never worked splendidly, granted, but it was quite workable last i looked into
this half decade ago. it degraded significantly. for instance, after a bunch of installing various, i'm left with a
taskbar fulla dead icons. (well, in fairness
they bring up a
transparent exclamation point in a
tria
a111: Logged on 2019-06-02 15:50 mircea_popescu: remarkable just how useless computers are
these days. so first, i chugged in 2gb of ubuntu.
the moment it came up it wanted
to get a further 450mb of "updates".
then it
turns out ~every game out
there has pretty much outsourced its distribution (and, i suspect, debugging, such as it is)
to steam (with a minor gog presence as well). so you gotta install steam.
that's only 50mb or so, but a
third layer by now.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-09 13:05 mircea_popescu: b) install gcc. and
then make. because it SHIPS WITHOUT
THESE. and
then of course discover
the current versions don't match what
the kernel was compiled with.
mircea_popescu: so one, obviously, is stuck installing a proper wine on
the system, because fuck me if i'm not getting off beginner island (VERY fucking annoying manifestation of
the bug -- crashes you in
the final battle, with
that asswipe eric).
mircea_popescu: in other, ongoing lulz of
the endless saga : "*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown>
terminated" << wine (as bundled with
the shitty ubuntu in question, v 3.0-1) abuses "stack protection"
to
crash perfectly fine programs (in
this case, king's bounty - warriors of
the north).
mircea_popescu: kinda what all
these are derived from, hardblown, method-acted comedy. it's a cinematic adaptation of a roadshow style of entertainment (much like
the "high class production" fred astaire / frank sinatra etc were in
try
to steal broadway for
the studios)
BingoBoingo: The question is, which year in
the 90s did Pantsuit win
BingoBoingo: Watching Naked Gun 33 1/3, my how rauchy comedy fell between
there and Retard Pie pocas años despues
mod6: Yikes, week is a long
time.
BingoBoingo: But all of
those were after 2006. Before
that it was only
the occasional hour or so during
thunderstorms.
BingoBoingo: And
two different winters with ~week outages
BingoBoingo: Then
there was
the one spring week after a wind storm.
BingoBoingo: I remember very recently back in
the US
the power was out for an extended period of
time because it was summer and
the line carrying power into
town caught fire.
BingoBoingo: Not at all like back in
the states where storms would
turn into multi day blackouts
BingoBoingo: Not particularly, but
the local news has
to do
the panic
thing
to make ad sales I guess.
mod6: Wasn't worth
the long lines eh?
BingoBoingo: And apparently in Colonia (the place where cheese comes from)
the river gunk
turning over messed with
their water
treatment plant.
BingoBoingo: So,
the only noticable impact of
the "ciclono extratropical"
that hit here is a bunch of gunk washed up on
the beach.
