ascii_field: if we had node(s) running, could supply
this default.
ascii_field: and no mechanism
to copy it
to user's homedir
mircea_popescu: user has
the option
to provide input, program
that depends on input
to run was shipped broken
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i suspect
the usg policy against private small arms has finally found
the chokehold : drive
the manufacturers out of business. << Most of
the good "Colt" designs are now made better by others. Argentinas
Taurus is one.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: never, ever, EVERY may any input be required from
the user imperatively.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field>
this will be a substantial change in default behaviour, because
the
thing ~will~ have
to be given irc server params on command line, and/or seed ips, or ~will not run~ <<
this is
the wrong approach. config file, with sane defaults.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> i consider
this
to be a necessary
thing << it is.
ascii_field: afaik colt did not actually manufacture anything, in own factories, other
than usg orders, for some years (decades?)
mircea_popescu: i suspect
the usg policy against private small arms has finally found
the chokehold : drive
the manufacturers out of business.
BingoBoingo: I
tend
to just... clean up
the blood.
They are disease carrying organisms and deserve nothing but lethal intent.
ascii_field: i encountered a good number of mosquitoes in b-a but none bit me. couldn't help but
think of
the old sf stories re: creatures on alien planet unable
to eat (or be eaten by) us on account of wrong protein chirality
mircea_popescu: so
there was a blood gorged mosquito on
the wall. as i didn't want
to leave a splotch, i hit it in such a manner as
to only dizzy it. i can now disable-shot mosquitors.
BingoBoingo: Nebraska, like Ohio a place
that when USia is scrapped can be sold
to
the dirt
hanbot: the only female in
that office.
mod6: <+ascii_field> sometimes i log in from
the car. << i can just imagine you driving around
the beltway with your knee irc'ing from a phone.
ascii_field: i offered many
times
to
teach her
to drive, but she was sharp enough
to grasp
that
this meant 'more chores' and didn't bite
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: i didn't used
to. worked mostly from home for a long
time
ascii_field: it's roughly half
the price of a cab pretty much everywhere, by design.
pete_dushenski: in case anyone
thought
this guy wasn't shiva reincarnate,
think again.
pete_dushenski: though i'm flabbergasted
that asciilifeform drives 2-4 hrs PER DAY !
assbot: Want
to drive for Uber ? First, you need
to make some mistakes. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 21:15:16; mircea_popescu: ascii_field myeah, uber does seem like
the usgs last gasp effort
to "socialism"
the cabbuie business
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 14:46:46; mats: yes
the executions are a big plus
pete_dushenski: "First
two (DVD, CD) are used and play fine, 2nd
two are sealed new (all DVDs). for each before shipping, and a $60 donation for each will be made
to
this pro-civil rights coalition
that Zooey Deschanel, Nancy Sinatra, Michael Moore, and Joel McHale all oppose." << y'know,
this could only work on
tardstalk
pete_dushenski: btw, wd on
the logs
today, gents. solid reading material.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-05-2015#1122612 << it's actually a fine entry point
to explain
to anyone why exactly
tcp/ip is so broken. because
this IS NOT a
trivial
task.
the price for ipv4 and it's undocumented, buggy, slow and haphazardously ad-hoc nat-routing model is
that you can't find out by inspecting yourself.
the half-assed, quarter-baked lazy slothful and aol-windowesque implement
ascii_field: at present,
there is no way
to authenticate a node
ascii_field: and even
this, only after we get it carried over gossipd
ascii_field: shinohai:
trusted == folks you know personally
shinohai: I mean,
their must be some way
to identify
trusted clients
mod6: <+ascii_field> << you can ~already~ specify seeds on cmdline and config! all
that remains is
the removal of
the built-in seeder crap << sure, you can do addnode or whatnot
to connect
to other nodes. but isn't
the dyndns
thing
to
tell others what your nodes ip address is? maybe i misunderstand ...
shinohai: ascii_field: are you limited as
to what data you can put in
the version string?
ascii_field: thing is, anyone can set version string
to whateverthefuck
they like
shinohai: I failed
to see
that before BingoBoingo pointed out
the obvious benefits of finding pre-gavinized nodes with it.
ascii_field: i expect
this will change, suddenly and possibly undetectably, once
they start fucking with it
ascii_field: shinohai: just
the ability
to specify what it connects
to
shinohai: Earlier you mentioned
the ability
to specify peers, etc and use raw irc commands correct?
shinohai: I'm down for
the irc mechanism, i really like it but not as it is now
ascii_field: and i say 'hey hey, ho ho,' dns 'has got
to go!'
ascii_field: (assuming all
three patches discussed
today were
to be ratified)
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 23:10:19; mod6: <+mod6> <+ascii_field> i'm in favour of keeping
the irc mechanism for now, because it will handily

to gossipd << i'm with you here... although, just looking
through irc.cpp again.. im not sure how much of
that would carry over anyhow. << regardless, it doesn't mean we have
to rip it out
this minute. how insane of an idea is it
to just snip out
the checkip.dyndns.org parts and add a commandline/confi
ascii_field: (i don't want ~anything~
to do with a leaking node)
ascii_field: and it makes no sense
to even
try before
the leak-stoppage patches are ratified
mod6: <+kakobrekla> would a dedi ba seed be welcome << yeah, i
think
that's
the idea eventually.

the first
time
they've filed for bankruptcy

mats: not
the first
time Colt has lost a contract
to F.N. Herstal
mod6: <+ascii_field>
to fully scrub out
the dns invocations, will have
to make
the irc connector configurable on command line << not
that
this has
to be
the case now, but perhaps
this could be done in
the config file
too.
ascii_field: i imagine
they will have
to ask for new bids.
ascii_field: 'Following a drawn-out and contentious bidding war, Colt lost its contract
to provide
the Pentagon with M4 rifles in 2013.
The $77 million contract went instead
to a Belgian company, F.N. Herstal.'
ascii_field: but if anyone can make a good case for its removal (remember
that presently it is also
the source of node knowing own external ipv4 !!!) please say.
ascii_field: i'm in favour of keeping

ascii_field: this will be a substantial change in default behaviour, because

mats: 'Obama admitted
that nine months into
the U.S.-led coalition's campaign against
the IS,
there is not a complete strategy
to combat
the group. "We don't yet have a complete strategy," Obama said at
the end of a G-7 summit in Germany'
shinohai: 17:59 +ascii_fieldpicture little gavins squealing on a chopping block. <<<
This
mod6: That's fine.
Take your
time. It won't
take long
to get
that going anyway.
ascii_field: mod6: might wanna wait for
the final nail in
the dns coffin
mod6: np. so, i'm gonna keep focus on
this Gentoo GCC patching stuff for
the
time being. But meanwhile I do
that on my POS box (Now running Gentoo AMD64 hardened w/uclibc), I can shutdown
the Gentoo aws instance and fire-up a deb6
test with
these new patches before
the end of
the month I'm sure.
ascii_field: i.e. everything inside a patch file must pertain only
to what was 'printed on
the box', and vice-versa.
mod6: yeah,
that stuff is 100% cruft.
mod6: makes sense.
thanks.
mod6: yup, i see
that.
thanks for linking
them in
the patch emails.
ascii_field: i'm half-certain
that last one actually removes a vuln
shinohai: The Deb one stays up all
the
time, I just leave it running since I need a daemon anyway.
shinohai: Nah
the Debian one, I built Ubuntu on a friends server
mod6: <+shinohai> mod6 my nide is still humming fine << cool. is
that
the ubuntu one?
mod6: well, nevermind
that.
this one:
mod6: lemme find
the logs..
mod6: So once
the Guides are handed over
to hanbot, I'll refocus my attention
to patching gcc 4.8.4 on Gentoo
to see if we can get around
that bug
that we were discussing
the other day.
mats: OPM servers in FY 2014… NMG has documented accepted weaknesses for OPM user workstations; however, it has not fully documented weaknesses for servers or databases (i.e., vulnerability scan findings
that are justified by a business need).
This recommendation remains open from FY 2011 and is rolled forward in FY 2014.
