asciilifeform: why not output threadedcode, a la Forth, directly
asciilifeform: rain2: 'The compiler doesn’t actually emit a sequence of 64 bit words though. It emits a “tokens” which the virtual machine can read in and translate into 64 bit words before they get executed.' << out of curiosity, why didja do this
asciilifeform: rain2: ... and if you have a www , link it .
asciilifeform: 'i am joe, and i recycle baby pandas' . etc
asciilifeform: on my planet, folx introduce themselves, e.g. 'i am bob and i drive a rubbish truck'
asciilifeform: rain2: while you have the microphone, want to say something about yerself ?
asciilifeform: rain2: chances are, more or less any interesting subj you've ever thought about , is somewhere in the log. make use of the search.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'seclist' lulzfest linked specifically for the laugh where some boeck figure loses his shit because some 'traitor' didn't wait the requisite 14days usg wanted etc
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-10#1840622 << the shitstains have been doing their 'coordinated disclosure' for , what , 20yrs nao , it isn't particularly 'idea', but rather the default herd-biological behaviour of shitstains☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: with working www-facing admin prompts
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-09#1840621 << a random sampling of your dropbears reveals them to huawei ( e.g. 143.255.155.51 is a HG8247H , 14.187.228.175 -- a HG8045A ) , and ubiquiti ( 188.255.132.97 -- 'air os' )☝︎
asciilifeform: in other lulz, 'The Go implementation of the P-256 elliptic curve had a small bug due to a misplaced carry bit affecting less than 0.00000003% of field subtraction operations.'
asciilifeform: ( for folx who dun feel like digging through that particular latrine pit -- they have an explicit '14 day embargo' to give nsa time to drill new holes into victims )
asciilifeform: 'Like I said, what we're supporting with (linux-)distros is a certain kind of "selective disclosure".'
asciilifeform: in continuing lulz, 'Which "club"? If you're an Open Source operating system distro, you can now apply to join (linux-)distros under our published criteria. Otherwise, yes, you're out of luck joining that "club". This is "selective disclosure", and it has drawbacks. There's no perfect alternative.'☟︎
asciilifeform: mod6: it's simply the launch codes for rk 'C' ( previously occupied by mats ) , it is ready for new user.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i gotta step into meatspace for a spell, see #p log for next instruction
asciilifeform: ( consists, in practice, of regular warm, wet kisses from usg.nsa straight into mouths of folx still using 'modern distros' , followed up by generous cocktail of obfuscatory lies to the public , then exposure, then the usual fudstorm to try an' keep the ruse alive for a bonus day or three )
asciilifeform: for non-expert entomologists : the perps ( i dun distinguish b/w 'bug'-inserters and coverup-artists ) ~continue~ to spew the squid ink where the patch is disguised as 'for denial of service bug' rather than arbitrary r/w -- despite the cat being out of the bag for nearly whole day nao
asciilifeform: or letting this happen. (At the same time, I did force another semi-public issue to oss-security right away since that one didn't involve coordination with so many parties.)'
asciilifeform: and the cucks entertain, https://archive.is/4L8IS >> from one 'Solar Designer' , kernelist, 'However, with CERT involved and with related issues affecting more than just Linux, there was little I could do, short of playing full BOFH and breaking the semi-embargo for everyone. While I think that would have been for the general public's benefit overall, I didn't feel about it strongly enough to actually do it this time. I apologize f
asciilifeform: but still lulzy wankage, e.g., https://archive.is/qeO5s >> 'Since this has business impact, we consider legal action against the opaque Linux-distros vulnerability-disclosure-among-friends-for-fun-and-profit scheme, that we exposed at the ITU earlier this year. This is digital divide in the works, with real impact for non-club-members ...'☟︎
asciilifeform: 'The bug only affects kernels that have CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE enabled, which is done by a lot of modern distros' << i.e. none of asciilifeform's kernels
asciilifeform: ( similarly i observe that, e.g., phf , or ben_vulpes , do not post re ruby or whatever horror they're currently mired in in the saeculum, for what i suspect is same reason )
asciilifeform: observe that you won't find asciilifeform posting tips an' tricks re winblowz terraforming. or anything re subj. the Right Thing to do with winblowz, is to flush it down toilet, and walk away.
asciilifeform: phf: fwiw ( and possibly i mentioned this in the past ) asciilifeform works with... undocumented corners of microshitiana , for his bread. ( would liek to stop, but i dun see it happening any time soon . ) but i wouldn't wish it on other people, or recommend it as a 'promising career' etc.
asciilifeform: at this point it is not so unlike winblowz , i.e. if yer getting srs dough for putting on the bathyscaphe and descending into sewer, then yes, descend, but prolly won't feel like telling people about it, and will try to forget at end of the day
asciilifeform: ideally log reader will find way to avoid contact with crapple
asciilifeform: even exotica, e.g. 'gnuradio', builds.
asciilifeform: here i must disagree, asciilifeform as recently as 2016 set up a crapple with full complement of unixlike tools, incl gnat, via 'macports'
asciilifeform: given how crapple world rolls, i expect very soon the ruby liquishit will be the only 1 remaining
asciilifeform: last i tried, it was specifically 'macports' that was only 1 that had 100% of the necessary ports. but 'mileage may vary' sure.
asciilifeform: phf: i've only ever had occasion to use 'fink' and 'macports' , afaik 'homebrew' is ~pure fungus
