jurov: cargocult? what did
they imitate?
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field>
tremendously posh infrastructure still in place, but
the regulars are - i have it on good authority - in
their 70s and 80s <<
They still recruit.
trinque: I have a grandfather's freemason pin on a jacket; he was about
that age when he passed away
ascii_field: tremendously posh infrastructure still in place, but

☟︎ ascii_field: btw
the masons - at least
the ones
that can be met with in usa - are perhaps
the ultimate cargo cult.
ascii_field: (approx. 'yid-masons.'
the equivalent of 'illuminati' in ru blog varietyspeak)
jurov waits
till alf encounters
the khazar mafia link
BingoBoingo: jurov: Comparable in
the sense sausage and
turd may be compared as cylinders
ascii_field: jurov: but somebody gotta serve
the folks who want
to work with amero^H^H^H^Husg^H^H^Husc
jurov: it's for people who want
to invest in btc without actually buying any
jurov: this is not at all comparable
to x.eur
BingoBoingo: Not all of Nasdaq, just some venture listed
there
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell kakobrekla "coracle": 54.187.227.228
☟︎ mircea_popescu: then
the whole echafaudage collapses ion a cloud of wtf and wchp
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny how
things are set up.
the faitful always mistake
the butresses of
their chosen as mere weakness of
the flesh
that
they,
true
templars, will find
the courage and rectitude
to straighten out
phf: ascii_field: around
the same
time
that
they started focusing on iphone. in fact it looked like
they were pulling
the libraries one by one as custom iphone optimization were making
their way in
ascii_field: phf: iirc
they closed
the kernel source a while ago.
phf: there was a period when apple was not
this outright hostile
to hackers. around 10.4-10.5 you could still rebuild darwin (i did it for a bit
to work around
the retarded execl argument list length limitations) or bsd user space from apple hosted source. even cocoa userspace had all kinds of hooks
that you could use
to customize
the os, like inputmanager bundles
phf: yes, but
this is somehow a freudian slip
ascii_field: 'the car bomb exploded.
the mechanic cursed and pulled on another wire.
the car bomb exploded again, with greater violence. windows rattled, dogs barked. 'you definitely have a car bomb, sir, i can
tell you
that now!' he muttered.'
☟︎ mircea_popescu: right, it was
the buterins of
the world
that are permanent.
phf: around 2g/3g you still had "linux on iphone" projects and such. i
think
there was one project
to recreate part of iphone stuck by combining opensource apple code and writing what's missing.
this is of course long history.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: in
their imaginary universe, you
took
the money and ran in 2011,
then came back N more
times
to somehow also
take
the money and run each.'
mircea_popescu: "WoW !!! Mircea Popescu is back. Not only on
Trilema, but also on
Twitter"
ascii_field: the most pedestrian hypothesis here is
that rsa is considerably easier
to implement.
mircea_popescu: somehow
this is supposed
to not be gallingly obvious or what ?
mircea_popescu: i find it comedic
that for all
the "well documented" flaws of rsa, all
these "take over
the world" computing schemes fail
to use ECC.
ascii_field: apparently you can, similar
to microshit's 'test mode'
ascii_field: you don't need
that mass-spectrometer! it didn't come with signed driver!
ascii_field: clearly
this is what apple users pined for
ascii_field: 'OS X users who depend upon unsigned KEXTs for extra functionality—be it
third-party hardware with unsigned drivers or software like OSXFuse
that depends upon unsigned kernel extensions—will have precisely
two alternatives: stop using
the applications or hardware until
the developers provide signed KEXTs, or disable SIP altogether.' << hello winblows 7 !
mircea_popescu: so basically apple is
the sony corp of america sorta
thing mkay.
ascii_field: it is quite analogous
to a nintendo or playstation etc.
ascii_field: why did you
think apple makes own silicon !
ascii_field: this makes it more like 'nintendo'
than computer.
ascii_field: the exploit which allowed
the pnohe
to be 'jailbroken'
ascii_field: and
true enough, when it is finally reversed,
they close
the hole.
ascii_field: this is justified by
the author as 'we don't want crapple
to fix it
too quickly'
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
these are a very funny joke on
their own. WITHOUT EXCEPTION all 'rooters' are closed-source gigantic blobs
that do fuck-knows-what
to
the pnohe
mircea_popescu: i
thought
the
trend was
towards rooted iphones not
the other way around
ascii_field: and/or networked boxes 'upgrade'
themselves at night.
ascii_field: as in 'no upgrade, proggies bought in
the store won't run, latest Pnohe won't sync, etc'
phf: this is dr. strangelove level of problem solving right
there
ascii_field: also betcha
this will drive sales of hardware debuggerz
through
the roof.
ascii_field: any attempt
to patch kernel
that is detected (and
the
traps move around) hangs
the box
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: microshit had
this for years. kernel is filled with boobytraps
that cross-checksum each other, like any good malware
phf: "Attempting
to inject libraries into system binaries will result in an error. Even
trying
to poke into a protected process with DTRACE will fail—probes
that
try
to
target protected processes will fail
to match, and no interaction with
the kernel will be visible, and protected memory space will be simply inaccessible. Not even LLDB will be useful. You won’t be able
to invoke it on system processes, regardless of root privilege."
phf: "The inclusion of OS X default applications in
the list [some list of SIP locations --phf] means
that
they inherit
the same file system protections as any other SIP location—if you want
to delete Mail.app because you only use your
third-party mail application, you’re out of luck."
phf: SIP cannot be disabled from within
the operating system, only from
the OS X Recovery partition."
phf: Protected system processes cannot be attached
to with a debugger and cannot be subject
to code injection.
phf: Protected locations cannot be written
to by root.
phf: "The end result is
that in El Cap, root is no longer an account with effectively unlimited access
to either
the file system or
to memory and running processes. SIP places kernel-level checks on root’s privilege
that can only be bypassed by
the kernel itself."
mircea_popescu: sure it is, doesn't mean perambulating cocks will score
that many dates.
mircea_popescu: this is not unlike observing
that
the penis is
the major bedroom inseminator.
mircea_popescu: anyway, attempts
to win wars by artillery have been ongoing ever since someone observed cca 1600
that cannon is
the major batterfield KILLER.
mircea_popescu: the us army and south vietnamese were at first inept but
then regrouped and
turned it into a disaster for
the northeners
ascii_field: and mircea_popescu is right, i was
thinking in reality of
the Christmas Offensive
ascii_field: iirc americans
tried
to massage with aerial bombardment prior
mircea_popescu: no it wasn't, and no it didn't nor was it even
treied or contempalted in ww2.
ascii_field: vietnam is where
they 'we shall win by dropping 4 million
tonnes of
trotyl'
mircea_popescu: at no point was
the pentagon idea
that war is won by anything other
than fucking guts.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it went away in vietnam and
there were only men fighting
mircea_popescu: no it wasn't. dude, srsly...
they had a fucking draft for vietnam.
mircea_popescu: the day
they decided
to fret over "transgenderism" instead of beating kids for sport is
the day performance went away
mircea_popescu: and
the reaso nit is "very difficulty"
to appraise
the "capabilites" of us army/navy/etc is because
they are nil. anmd
the reason
they are nil is exactly
the same reason
the intellectual abilities of college grads are nil.
mircea_popescu: 'The Pentagon didn't notice
the moment when blowing up defenseless, demoralized adversaries using cruise missiles stopped being
the only method for waging war.' <<
this was never
the fucking case wtf narrative bs is
this.
ascii_field: '... no other electrical appliances were permitted, and inspectors made
their rounds
to see; but people went
to great lengths
to deceive...'
ascii_field: 'i do not know for sure how
the city buildings connected
to
the power plant, but
the accidentally preserved 'testament
to
the right
to utilize
the mains grid energy', you can see
that our home was connected
to
the mains on 20 january 1950, and
the permit was written ~only~ for light bulbs, starting with 50 watt,
then progressing
to 145...
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> iirc you could get hard
time for
that. << Only if you are a licensed contractor.
ascii_field: is 'cheater' - even in english-speaking lands. from
this i surmise
that
they,
too, once had 'headcount' fees on mains socket
mircea_popescu: soviets also stole from "the property of
the whole people"
