kakobrekla: click de archive this url.
BingoBoingo: Also a journey to the mind of a Windows User https://archive.is/Kq7JT
mircea_popescu: gawker does "radical transparency" don't you know. when you fuck with me you can read all about it on trilema, but it's gawker that's radically transparent. a bunch of twerps whose names nobody even happens to know. paragons in their own minds of things they don't understand, nor would understand even if they actually tried thinking about 'em.
mircea_popescu: "oh here's a backroom napkin scribbled with my protest over the culture of backroom dealing these people imported into our fine organisation of delusions of transparency. i am too stupid to understand how ridiculous i'm being. NEOTENY FOR THE VICTORY!!11"
mircea_popescu: seriously, you gotta write emails to the staff about stuff like this ?
scoopbot_revived: Kickass Torrents Dropped From Google Search Results http://qntra.net/2015/07/kickass-torrents-dropped-from-google-search-results/
mircea_popescu: anyway, the one notable thing re gawker is that the twerps smokling the crack pipe of radical-this-and-that do not have either the intellectual wherewithal to notice nor the mental acumen to actually create THEIR OWN FUCKING BLOGS.
mircea_popescu: kinda funny to see the us reduced to the 50th state of the great nation of africa, but then again
assbot: Lockheed Martin to buy Sikorsky Aircraft for $9 billion - Chicago Tribune ... ( http://bit.ly/1OiflTR )
chetty: <mircea_popescu> next i'm gonna hear shit farmers in kenya think they're pulling the sun up each morning.// they aren't?
mircea_popescu: next i'm gonna hear shit farmers in kenya think they're pulling the sun up each morning.
mircea_popescu: they probably imagine they ever published anything worth reading, too.
mircea_popescu: fascinating what derps actually sell themselves into. gawker editorial actually thinks it's more than a branded chicken coop
mircea_popescu: these schmucks actually thought they do something remarkable in any sense ?
mircea_popescu: ". The essence of Gawker has always been what happens when we get out of those meetings and go back to writing and editing the stories you do that no one else can do. "
BingoBoingo: ^ China now doing the biggest SQL join in history. #AshleyMadison #OPMhack
asciilifeform: and another (also experimental) that adds 'flushmempool'
asciilifeform: one (optional...!) to set a version string that actually displays to folks like 'bitnodes'
asciilifeform: moar patchez in the pipe, too
mod6: Can only check teh weather if in assbots L2. Which is very temperate.
mircea_popescu: how's the weather this time o year ?
BingoBoingo: Not even a year and thing's now something to stand up on boxes
mircea_popescu: lol @ mod6 s twitter location
asciilifeform: probably will fill some time reasonably soon, at which point i'll finally cancel the contract on it
mircea_popescu: aha. if you wish to pro-rate towards nsa budget i'll ok it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you paying for the server or just using one already deployed ?
asciilifeform: (likely, no sooner than tomorrow noon. but it is cooking, yes)
asciilifeform: meanwhile i'm about to stand up another node!
mircea_popescu: it took them to the same dark place, and recently cost them their entire business.
BingoBoingo: "sell support" worked for cisco and oracle when marketing to the helpless and overencumbered with bezzle
mircea_popescu: if that's what you aim to do with your life, go to new york join the police force.
mircea_popescu: the only endpoint for that is where rhel ended up : a cheaper USG Department of Windows.
mircea_popescu: the "sell support" model has been thoroughly debunked in the field. or at least that's the moral i draw from revierwing history.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the one thing closed source can never do is good docs. << But then how would they sell support as a seperate product?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Oh those were the paid, pretentious herders of the unpaid. But since Denton clamped down on their lulz Apparently herding interns is too much nao.
mircea_popescu: somehow the bright strategic minds involved missed this point.
mircea_popescu: the one thing closed source can never do is good docs.
mircea_popescu: trinque yeah. more important for a powerful foss than gcc.
trinque: mircea_popescu: makes sense, they're excellent.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Looks like Qntra survived this weekend better than Gawker did https://archive.is/joOPE << kinda hard to keep a job that doesn't come with a salary i guess.
chetty: visa doesn't dicriminate against 'the poor', they just either don't give them credit or charge them bucket for it
mircea_popescu: strangely enough, nobody seems to learn anything from this.
mircea_popescu: trinque i think the manuals are the secret reason keeping any bsd userbase.
mircea_popescu: that'd have been interesting to know twenty years ago.
mircea_popescu: if my father weren't a total fuckwit, he'd have told me "my son, you'll make a billion dollars before you'll read a two page item about you that manages to eschew glaring errors".
mircea_popescu: "oh, because fiat glbse is so desperate for <<organic traffic>> they're resorting to the politically correct version of spun content & keyword stuffing" ? kthx.
mircea_popescu: "The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc." mmmmkay... then why are you publishing it ?
mircea_popescu: if anyone still has a twitter account, maybe link the derp to the above. you never know when athlete face learns something from the internets.
mircea_popescu: i merely do not give enough of a shit about the cause celebre du jour to neglect technical arguments for its sake.
mircea_popescu: and in any case - it's not some "disain for the poor" that's at work. just because everyone is on a (mostly hypocritical) fixation on loving the poor does not make my position disdain
mircea_popescu: i just don't happen to be clueless enough to confuse those for "Scalability". considering i am not actually a technical expert, this reflects very poorly opn the intellectual abilities and assorted scholarship of random derps opining on nasdaq.com
mircea_popescu: i am not opposed "to scalability". i am opposed to very specific idiocy for very clearly delineated technical reasons.
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu, who is opposed to scalability due to his vocal disdain for “the poor”
trinque: whole sentence needs to be chopped and screwed
asciilifeform: 'and leaving their interesting and activities oriented towards extramarital dating exposed.' << ?
mod6: the openssl configure script (perl lel) seems to indicate that no-shared is the default -- but i wanna be sure.
mod6: asciilifeform: ever get a chance to look at those bins?
asciilifeform will not encourage others to play it
trinque: in this case it'd be as BingoBoingo said, don't have fucking dumb hosts that can't TCP
trinque: seemed to be a point about superficial mitigations vs fixing the underlying issue
trinque: asciilifeform: re aslr and other things
trinque: maybe asciilifeform's perspective on mitigations applies to the latter
trinque: latter seems to have to do with hiding facts about the inner network topology
BingoBoingo: <trinque> mod6: BingoBoingo: what are your opinions on using random-id and reassemble tcp in incoming traffic through pf? << Haven't used either of those yet. Pretty much use block, pass, and queue
BingoBoingo: Looks like Qntra survived this weekend better than Gawker did https://archive.is/joOPE
mod6: start simple, then build in more complexity as only necessary.
mod6: looks like you can use random-id for some normalizatoin purposes... main thing is here, read the pf.conf man page 2x and then build up your firewall and use the heck outta tcpdump to ensure what your rule set is as you want it.
trinque: cool, am doing that
mod6: im not positive (i don't have access to my pf.conf atm) that i've ever used random-id. i think that's for a very specific problem. but yeah you probably /do/ want scrub all reassemble tcp
mod6: trinque: what are you trying to achieve?
trinque: exceptionally thorough
trinque has found the openbsd manpages to be in a class of their own
trinque: mod6: BingoBoingo: what are your opinions on using random-id and reassemble tcp in incoming traffic through pf?
shinohai: Another one bites the dust.
trinque: anybody ever wants my launch codes, there's the way
trinque: man that thing makes me uncomfortable
asciilifeform: the chick who told me about the vacuum bed was into it as a straight bdsm thing iirc
mircea_popescu: there is this particular thing in autists where being compressed widely helps
asciilifeform: kinda reminds me of the 'why not connect air compressor to the tuba' concept
mircea_popescu: and i suspect all this is autism related and should prolly be a med insurance deductable, like kinetotherapy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this apparatus works, i was told, like the ubiquitous kitchen vacuum sealer machine. but with an airhole. it is popular where i live, i was told.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone amused at how the "mainstream media" took all of five seconds to decide random white dude was "racially motivated" blowing up a black church, wheras they're still "trying to look for motives" that paki dude shot up the marines ?
mircea_popescu: to continue the chick in rubber skin thread, http://38.media.tumblr.com/c42b2ab51e7e9e85ad0c04c935504746/tumblr_n3u2tstiHD1rnqh33o2_r1_500.gif
mircea_popescu: poor mod6 no time to mine because all this foundation stuff fell on his head.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: working how? single-stepping the thing ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai working on the 950kb bogus block atm.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ty but no :D
shinohai: But today, pickings were slim and I needed a spare lappy
shinohai: Yeah but they have incredibly shitty electronics at our Goodwill. I usually troll craigslist and sometimes get free parts.
shinohai: I wish we had something like that here. I blow so much on used equipment xD
trinque: I tend to make my way there once a week or so
shinohai: So new toy for later yay
shinohai: Looks so trinque, and I hopped on craigslist and bought a shitty laptop for $100
shinohai: whelp it seems pogos make excellent mining controllers, not that I mine anymore.
shinohai: Time is the most important asset for testing. I still want to prove that a small group can outproduce the "bitcoin foundation" sans their immense budget they blew.
mod6: haha, no worries. that's fine too.
shinohai: I'm a masochist and type everything LOL
