ben_vulpes: as i understand the story it was more of
a craigslist, organically grown to profitability on very few staff and run in steady state for years
ben_vulpes: also hey, we've got
a datacenter, who's going to write the backpage replacement
mircea_popescu: the empire may not be much for anything, but THIS, "how to fuck your own kids", jesus christ this they got down to
a fine art.
mircea_popescu: in point of fact it's
a thing to admire and wonder at, the incredibly refined fucktools these people built.
mircea_popescu: dude succeeds at feeling like
a trade bot programmer. the reset is integral.
mircea_popescu: how's that bit from psychology of bagholder, "succeeds at feeling like
a trader, whioch was the point" ?
ben_vulpes: " button because "i didn't get it right before, i'll make money this time", and also i shit thee not
a panic sell-everything button
ben_vulpes: so i was over at
a friends place yesterday and he showed me this "cloud cryptocurrency trading bot" (actually
a barely-sentient js algo trading browserapp); best lols of which were
a "reset profit/loss
mircea_popescu: and since we're doing this : there's also FOR THE CLANS!!! from "disciples", an ancient but really great game ; and WANT SOME, GET SOME! from
a very popular set of browser tower defenses.
ben_vulpes: i also lost interest because its not
a text interface to eulora so why bother kill yourself instead
a111: Logged on 2016-03-28 13:11 mircea_popescu: upon consideration, i see no reason to continue supporting or otherwise encourage kakobrekla's bizarre worldview. on the contrary, i view further involvement with the nonsense as considerable moral hazard, and
a miserable thing to do altogether.
pinochle: BingoBoingo: other history: in the past I was
a trader, predominantly futures. studied probability, my work now mainly consists of constructing prediction models
pinochle: ben_vulpes: yes, registered
a key in wot
pinochle: BingoBoingo: dad was
a salesman, his dad drove trucks
ben_vulpes: pinochle: reg
a key and build
a name now, lest you build the thing and nobody uses it because who is this person
☟︎ pinochle: just
a reader of the logs to this point
mircea_popescu: you know, he attempted to run
a little business, i'm attempting to help him make sense of it.
mircea_popescu: ckang, well, i kinda like to leverage spot experience into more general theory. let's say it's
a weakness of mine.
mircea_popescu: you understand that the difference between the ill-pay-for-your-tits value-evaluation-function over this field of items and the anything-else value-evaluation-function over the same field isn't 10x or 100x, either. people routinely have trouble extracting as much as
a cent per thousand ; that'd be 10e6x
mircea_popescu: yes. but this source you have found is not simply one or two or three sigmas away from average. it is an uncountable, perhaps
a literal infinity of sigmas away from average.
mircea_popescu: it's funny how usg history repeats itself : the elite uses the mass to rape the middle class. guy with
a little dough and
a little brain gets eaten into this "pay the brahmin to use the cattle herd" scheme again and again and again.
douchebag: $300 for
a discord server that shares nudes
douchebag: $200 for the pimp lady to get
a 3 girls
mircea_popescu: becauuse totally, "bitcoin price in fiat". that's
a thing.
mircea_popescu recalls the lulzy days of "market price" back when i was buying them at 2.20 - 2.50 dollars
a pop
mircea_popescu: well, $1200 worth of 2013 btc would sure be
a retirement todaty
mircea_popescu: douchebag, im lazy, there's
a whole chunk here that i've not yet ul'd
douchebag: mircea_popescu: Do I get
a bonus for bringing in hella tits :D

a right. hanbot do me
a favour : download ~only~ those patches which are in the leftmost trunk seen on phf's viewer (so exclude vtools_vdiff_sha, and its dependents) and try to flow again ?
phf: trinque: it wouldn't, i believe there's an antecedent->dependency transformation issues (i.e. the transform in mod6 v is adhoc, so it can't handle the tricky antecedent graph). the approach hanbot used was to just use the patches from the left branch of the graph, until, per mircea_popescu's request, i write
a general purpose v graph code.
☟︎ trinque: I'm not committing to
a time
a111: Logged on 2018-04-19 18:29 mircea_popescu: and it all came from original idiocy, "oh, to have bash AT ALL you must have access to /sbin/bash or else
a copy of it somewhere". bullcrap. look at what apache does -- somehow it DOES manage to run all users' php crapolade from whatever directories. bash can (and obviously should fucking have) worked the exact same way. of course you can run bash from your homedir even if that is /home/users/f/u/c//k/t/h/i/s/l/u/s/e/r/john.
mircea_popescu: think about it -- the sort of people who'd publish idiotic crap
a la tor docker etc LIKE the meat injection. and the sort of people who'd protest don't get involved with that.
ckang: just someone publicly calling someone out at trying to inject malicious code into
a project
ckang: i imagine to infiltrate
a project successfully they need to 'invest' into it before it becomes too large so theres not 1000s of nerds reviewing commits
ckang: im surprised we haven't heard more about that, someone with
a email or offer publishing it
mircea_popescu: usg trying to leverage the fact that idiots stick together whereas intelligent people jwz, into this situation where they keep shitting turds larger than what you can fit in head and so "one man's guess is as good as any other's" and "we don't actually know it's
a scam" hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: y're reasonablyt safe, as far as we know" ; and as we learn better... they just come up with
a new piece of shit.
ckang: PATH turns into
a a cluster fuck, always
mircea_popescu: metaphorically speaking, the solution to spilling some food in front of the fridge is not to attach
a mechanical broom to it.
ckang: re: chroot/$PATH stuff, is there any reason not to opt for
a container model and leave that abstraction up to
a dedicated system?
ckang: if you get
a min, had an issue with the bots on 1 girl, pheeby
ckang: phf: ah if you have
a spare board you can run on
a local net, i would be curious how it stacks up
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-19#1803375 << i have ipsec subnets to essentially identical openbsd installs, but egress is to wan. i use pf to route specific things through the ipsec subnets. i've never benchmarked it though. it's good enough to watch an occasional regioned youtube, or pull
a torrent at 5mbit saturation
☝︎ mircea_popescu: so i pick the yesterday's chicken pilaf, and dump on it three spooning heapfuls of the mango-raisin-ginger jam in the half gallon jar. then
a spoonlet of chilera. and then...
a small and kinda tired&old but very ripe aguacate.
spyked: ^ my point in the first place. POSIX ACL was designed from the idea that "all users are equal, except /
a/b can be accessed only by X and /c/d only by Y etc.". while saying that "Z can only access /e/f" can only be implemented as "/
a/b and /c/d and etc. can't be accessed by Z". and sure, there's chroot, that sets /e/f to /, but in practice this introduces other issues
hanbot:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-19#1803390 << exactly, that blew my mind. no idea why limiting someone to their homedir should be complicated either. isn't keeping users cloistered like...the fucking reason
a "users" system even exists? what else is it for, personalized wallpaper?
☝︎ trinque: now there's
a point. user's shell should just have whatever commands he can use loaded into it
mircea_popescu: and it all came from original idiocy, "oh, to have bash AT ALL you must have access to /sbin/bash or else
a copy of it somewhere". bullcrap. look at what apache does -- somehow it DOES manage to run all users' php crapolade from whatever directories. bash can (and obviously should fucking have) worked the exact same way. of course you can run bash from your homedir even if that is /home/users/f/u/c//k/t/h/i/s/l/u/s/e/r/john.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and if you want to get fancy you can even reconstruct dirstructure by restating it while skipping invisible spots, so that
a path may be /
a/b/c/ for one and /
a/c/ for another.
ckang: i ended up just adding
a deb8 vm and my entire router is virtualized now, only lose ~2Mbit off the top (148Mbit) while still only using the tunnel with wireguard
phf: i should probably test it at some point in isolation. it would be
a pointless exercise though since i don't have
a 20MBit/s pipe out anyway. perhaps the value might be "look at what custom board can do compared to this chinese crap", but i somehow doubt that would be the result.
phf: ckang: so i had
a lot of throughput problems when i started doing this, back when budged option was to flush consumer router firmware with
a linux, but when i built this router i was already tmsring, so it's running openbsd and is more sekuriti oriented
ckang: even being able to buy
a small qty of SoC can be hard with most mfg
ckang: phf: my worry is being able to sustain enough throughput mostly,
a somewhat higher end consumer model cant manage much over 20Mbit/s
phf: it's
a shame that soekris stopped making their network boards. asciilifeform though thinks they were overpriced, but i suspect it's "not made in china" premium. i have one soekris board with 4 years uptime, and i use another one for the router, which does some of the tricks ckang mentioned.
trinque always thought that name for
a chip company was cheeky
ckang: spyked: i think at that point i would go with an intel atom board with dual or quad port from ali, they arent too bad price wise and you dont get stuck maintaining
a fork
ckang: openvpn is just
a piggy
ckang: then for
a minute I was exploring using the ESP32's cryptography accelerator with QSPI and DMA
ckang: ive been wanting to build
a small single port router or inline router that protects ones entire internet
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 18:27 asciilifeform: ROC-RK3328-CC ( currently building
a kernel for it, without the 'evil' periphs )
mod6: cool, gonna have
a mirror over there, or just the main repo now?
ckang: you can do the user limited to one dir but it would require chroot + copy of binaries or
a R/O mount of the binaries linked inside but that shit gets messy
spyked: also, kinda what got me thinking about the whole "general-purpose os" thing
a while ago. POSIX ACL wasn't designed to be very flexible, it assumes some level of trust in the processes running on the box (the Unix notion of "user" is attached to processes, while that of "permission" is tied to files)
a111: Logged on 2018-04-19 05:31 hanbot: <mod6> hanbot: I can help, what are you trying to achieve? Changing /home/username from chmod 755, to chmod 700? << i want to make
a user whose access is entirely limited to one specific dir. i'm fed up for the night tho', will be back at it tomorrow evening if you still feel philanthropic then
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-19#1802935 <-- iirc execute bit on $dir toggles whether {user,group,others} can "search" (i.e. chdir to) $dir or access other files within, including other dirs, making this
a recursive thing. so this explains the chdir error.
☝︎ trinque would collect
a whole household full of women like the girl he has now
ckang: thankfully i will never get to experience passing
a 10lb child out from my insides
trinque: evolution didn't give
a damn when standing upright came along.
ckang: oh not fat, i was
a tall baby though
mircea_popescu: anyway, macrosomia is
a serious health risk. mostly for the mother, but not really great for the baby either.
ckang: so would
a 'fuckhole/baby vessel' best describe your ideal woman ?
ckang:
a mute would be ideal ?
trinque: women work
a lot better when not listened to
mircea_popescu: "you can only be the leader if you have
a child with everybody!"
mircea_popescu: so your plan for the ~rest of your life is to sit on
a patch of dirt in ok and basically wait ?
☟︎ danielpbarron: there could be
a leader but he has to have exactly 1 wife, and at least one child all of whom must believe
ckang: ive only seen him pop into #templeos but its been
a few months, he may have changed
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo, you soy esperando una / espero una. no por and verbs change in spanish! << Finger speed conjugation is still
a work in progress. The locals feed me bad grammar habits the Venezolana has to correct. The accent however is servicable. Alf can elaborate when he has report time.
ckang: i heard his stuff may have gotten stolen, he was making vids again for
a bit
