BingoBoingo: Which is why I bring the thing up here. I'm not certain what to do. I am rather certain that whatever is done, a shared shell isn'
t the place to repeatedly draw aggro after having done so the first few times.
BingoBoingo: Indeed, but a shared IP clearly isn'
t the place to do it. Historically republican doctrine has been to wait out DDoS attacks, but keeping everyone else up is a problem
mircea_popescu: if you're going by vermin's reaction, you can'
t introduce the spurious criterion of "is this delicious from my pov".
mircea_popescu: nah, the point of similarity is "things derps don'
t want to be said", not "things of substance".

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: ^ kidna curious if anyone can tell the fracture, whereby mp couldn'
t find what he wanted, lost interest.
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: 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: it didn'
t work ALWAYS, and yes, precisely dr. dos problem as you describe it.
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 taking longer to amass the references than it takes to write a god damned article.
mircea_popescu: ubuntu, made by people who don'
t understand computers for people who don'
t need computers.
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: needing bison ? well yeah, xml wasn'

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'

mod6: Wasn'

mircea_popescu: most of the fucking processes can'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that part doesn'

mircea_popescu: dumbass cuntlet wouldn'

mircea_popescu: if popper's a philosopher, thus therefore so are both r. feyman and that russian fellow who said "fuck you, who the fuck are you to give me awards, nitwits". much more of a philosopher (in the sartre-ian tradition) than whatever Deborah Mayo, this Audre Lorde professor emeritus of Women Can Add Too (if you don'

BingoBoingo: Aite, some sort of cyclone is supposed to hit here tonight. Alerta Naranja to the west, but only Alerta Amarilla here in the city. Advertised wind speeds aren'
t anything impressive by Midwest standards, but figured I'd offer notice. Not often that the supermarket lines are this long during the middle of the month.
BingoBoingo: Numerals aren'

mircea_popescu: yeah, the more modern, mroe efficient dam gear squeezes that extra % at the cost of all sorts of intolerances. you can'

mircea_popescu: one of
the first articles on trilema is about ~this. my opinion hasn'

diana_coman: I don'
t think I actually know of ANY orchard as I'd want it in whole Romania, myeah.
diana_coman: renovated old buildings so I'd assume they actually have that sort of thing but admittedly I haven'
