asciilifeform: what i wanted was a generic, fits-in-head (a few 1000 lines of c, no deps) stateless, 'protocol-less' cipherator that one could put, e.g., ftp over
asciilifeform: but not released yet, and at this rate no idea if even releasable at all, i lack a cipher
asciilifeform: PeterL: it is supposed to be a generic cipherator for tcp tunnel
PeterL: asciilifeform wasn't the thing you were describing, 'g', going to be for downloading stuff?
asciilifeform: from, as i gather, elementary economic calculations, the enemy focuses almost all effort on real-time/net-connected crapola
asciilifeform: and the offloading of the built binary, via same.
asciilifeform: the replacement is manual loading of tarballs from wherever onto the build box.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that never was the unclear part. didja have a replacement was the unclear part.
punkman: " The code that causes the vulnerability was introduced in May 2008 as part of glibc 2.9."
mircea_popescu: totally, thank the people who put the hole in, it's because of their "hard work" that you have a hole to burn.
asciilifeform: 'The vectors to trigger this buffer overflow are very common and can include ssh, sudo, and curl.'
asciilifeform: ... and the rest of the glibc team '
asciilifeform: 'We would like to thank .... blahblah ... Florian Weimer ...
punkman: "Remote code execution is possible, but not straightforward. It requires bypassing the security mitigations present on the system, such as ASLR. We will not release our exploit code, but a non-weaponized Proof of Concept has been made available"
asciilifeform: at this point i would be greatly surprised to see anything else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform should be pretty lulzy to read the "never happened and if it did we did it first nayway" verbiage.
mircea_popescu: see if stackexchange burial team is at battlestations or not.
asciilifeform: 'The glibc DNS client side resolver is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow when the getaddrinfo() library function is used. Software using this function may be exploited with attacker-controlled domain names, attacker-controlled DNS servers, or through a man-in-the-middle attack.' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo incidentally, this should be qntra'd asap.
mircea_popescu: #b-a, the driving force behind internet security phenomena. since 2016.
asciilifeform: but that'd be burning prb, which is a no-no.
asciilifeform: empty the prb folks
asciilifeform: would've been glorious if they'd fired it first
mircea_popescu: now that trb no longer uses it, is ok to burn it ?
shinohai: There is a public pool just a few streets down from me. So many fat people were there last summer I wondered how all the water wasn't displaced.

mircea_popescu: "Last year, The Intercept published documents detailing the NSA's SKYNET programme. According to the documents, SKYNET engages in mass surveillance of Pakistan's mobile phone network, and then uses a machine learning algorithm on the cellular network metadata of 55 million people to try and rate each person's likelihood of being a terrorist." << hey, i'm sure they beat them at go, first!

danielpbarron: that makes sick sense; don't want to eat own son
danielpbarron: not the swap part :/
mircea_popescu: hey, they swap daughter with neighbour prior to fucking, why not infant prior to eating.
assbot: Logged on 16-02-2016 03:28:14; mats: also swapped an infant son with a friend's, and ate that too
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-02-2016#1406770 << this is the worst thing i've ever read in here. ☝︎
mats: many ancient empires took centuries to die, despite entering infirmity long before, after all
mats: i wonder all the time if this is just wishful thinking on my part
asciilifeform: won't be long to wait.
assbot: Logged on 16-02-2016 03:48:41; mats: the us has gone so long without experiencing actual national tragedy on the scale of, say, the civil war between the kmt and the party
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-02-2016#1406782 << good nyooz! this is fixable!111 ☝︎
mats: meanwhile my generation chants 'feel the bern' because he proffers entitlements on the backs of corporations
mats: hundreds of millions toiled, sweat blood, and died in the last thirty years to make .cn great
mats: people here have no sense of scale beyond the drops of blood spilled on 9/11
mats: the us has gone so long without experiencing actual national tragedy on the scale of, say, the civil war between the kmt and the party ☟︎
mats: recall the name? I'll add to my list
mats: so many chix are high maintenance princesses, dudes tend to be belligerent and unbearable when drunk
mats: welcome to hell
mats: also swapped an infant son with a friend's, and ate that too ☟︎
mats: my grandfather ate dog during the famine, no shame in that
BingoBoingo is disappoint that other people discovered beef tongue is delicious and it is priced locally on par with other actual foods that don't suck
mats: think about that for a second
mats: the only thing the world knows about .kr food is Korean BBQ and kimchi
asciilifeform: mats: tell this to nubbins', iirc he is eating kimchi still, many years after his tour of duty
mats: and while I'm venting about Koreans, their food fucking sucks and utterly lacks any kind of nuance
mircea_popescu: most of them, first generation in shoes, actually.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: don't forget the little detail where 'fan death' somehow ... only happens to ethnic koreans!
mats: and that their cultural dress is original, rather than heavily derivative of the fashions from the Tang
mircea_popescu: there's a section of romania convinced that this romanian dude invented writing and taught the romans to fuck and egyptians to pyramid.
mircea_popescu: there's this general tendency of shitty countries to entertain this dream that they're really cool.
mats: I have heard more than one insist that Confucius was Korean
BingoBoingo: WHo hasn't heard those?
mats: on the subject of Koreans
BingoBoingo: Got to enjoy tales of the weirdo bumpkin kids on college campuses who were in the no flushing the toilet paper habit
BingoBoingo: The concern isn't actually the tank, but the pipes that run from the tank to the leech field
mircea_popescu: you ever tried this experiment ? or how do you know ?
BingoBoingo: Over time supposedly accumulates. It may break down faster than feces, but it doesn't liquify as fast.
mircea_popescu: it actually decomposes faster than feces.
mircea_popescu: what is a bit of cellulose supposed to do ?
BingoBoingo: Those of us in town get our flushing (and wire internet) privilege
BingoBoingo: Around here the toilet paper is associated with the very rural people who have fragile septic tank systems.
mircea_popescu: the telltale, specific nonsense old women come up with, but particularly successfully rooted.
mircea_popescu: the toilet paper nuttery is endemic in central america also. i always ignored it, to no detriment. sort-of wondering whether there's any more substance to this nonsense than any urban legend. to this day for instance south koreans believe magical asphyxiation rays come out of fans left running while people sleep.
BingoBoingo: "The fact that all over Beijing you have to put soiled loo roll in a little basket beside the toilet is telling: the infrastructure is fragile." << Very Rural of them
BingoBoingo: build them again!""
BingoBoingo: I didn't care for Beijing's architecture merely because it was "unfamiliar". I looked at him in astonishment. "Unfamiliar!" I exclaimed. This stuff is all over the world!" And an assault of Bauhaus is hardly Chinese.) Put up in the engineering equivalent of 15 minutes, none of these buildings is made to last — but when I asked my winsome Han tour guide what would happen when they collapsed, she said with cheerful gusto, "We'll
BingoBoingo: "And the architecture! Never was any city more captivated by the rectangle. As you take off from Beijing airport, clumps of residential developments rise relentlessly into the distance, each cluster often 60 or so high-rises apiece, each high-rise 50 or so stories tall — seeming to reproduce SimCity-style as you watch. They are all drab, they are all the same, they are all hideous. (A student asked after my event whether perhaps

BingoBoingo: And then you gotta get it down safely or peace has an expiration date
BingoBoingo: The Russia/China Border not disputed. Better to launch over all the Americas where who the fuck in the flight path can complain?
asciilifeform: of course this was back when usa had factories there.
asciilifeform: boil the 'great lakes'
