mats: We were
told in an interview
that OPM's Network Management Group (NMG) performs monthly vulnerability scans using automated scanning
tools.
The OIG is unable
to independently verify
that OPM has a mature vulnerability scanning program. However, we have been unable
to obtain
tangible evidence
that vulnerability scans have been routinely conducted for all
ascii_field: kakobrekla:
the sad is in having

the sadcake
thestringpuller: ascii_field: damn. 20 mph average speed?!? i would have
to pop anxiety pills.
shinohai: I hate
touchscreen keyboards. I really do.
mod6: I could start it back up again and do something else if you like. But have finally gotten a guide created for Gentoo on Physical hardware. It needs 2 general
tweaks (to be put in
tonight) before I hand over
to hanbot for
testing.
mod6: <+ascii_field> mod6: how are
those
test rigs doing ? < << If you mean
the bitcoin-v0.5.3.1-RELEASE + patch(s) { Orphanage
Thermonuke +
TX Orphanage Amputation },
they were performed on AWS deb6 instance and have since been shutdown after full sync & performance
tests completed. Main reason being
to dig into compiling v0.5.3.1 + gentoo sanity patches with uclibc on Gentoo on AWS Gentoo instance. I
try
to only run one instance at a
time
to keep mo
ascii_field: thestringpuller: so much
traffic 'can eat with arse'
ascii_field: it would cost me ~$80
to get home in a cab right now.
jurov: i don't remember using
taxi from/to airport
mircea_popescu: how much would
they have
to pay ME
to spend an hour in a cab with any regularity ?
mircea_popescu: germany is ridoinculous with
their 5 euro a km bs, but
then again germany is usually walkable.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: know
that 'uber' etc. is an attempt
to 'proletarianize' cabs. as
they normally are so costly here
that
they are beyond
the regular use of all but
the richest
mircea_popescu: ascii_field myeah, uber does seem like
the usgs last gasp effort
to "socialism"
the cabbuie business
☟︎ shinohai: I like farmers markets
though. Fresh organic veggies if possible.
ascii_field: and i don't want
to see ads for shitpaper in my mailbox
ascii_field: i'd get
toilet paper, etc. on 'amazon' if it weren't for
the fact
that everything you buy affects your 'recommendations'
cazalla: shinohai,
the
two main supermarket chains in australia do
this.. and it's how
they get rid of
the rest of
their shitty produce

tax?!?!)
ascii_field: said
the fella living in can't-order-anything-online-land
mircea_popescu: all
those dongs were bought at indian candy's chocolateria
ascii_field: and yes, i know
that mircea_popescu can get ru chocolate delivered via biplane right
to his dirigible in antarctica.
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 14:57:39; asciilifeform: can i get real (read: ru or identical) chocolate
there? at what cost/gram ?
mircea_popescu: "my car crashed because
there was a flyer in a window painted in green letters"
ben_vulpes: most recently, boost failed
to install because its html document rendering facility was b0rked in ubuntu somewhere and
the whole
thing fell over
ben_vulpes: i'm still working
to get
the damn
thing
to build on ubuntu
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 14:47:41; jurov: also, i don't get how anyone in
this age can *not* have some foreign acquaintances
that one can be sure
to not
throw him under
the bus
ascii_field: shinohai:
the linked patch is 5 minutes old
shinohai: I haven't applied
those patches yet :/
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: i would like
to nominate above patch (and its dependency, dns-seed-remover) for mainline
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> also
the gurl has valuable illiquid asset. << not so valuable if illiquid
ascii_field: worst of all, he gave me an intractable urge
to blow glass
ben_vulpes: aha is midnightmagic derping on about
things beyond his ken
today?
TheNewDeal: how bad of any idea is it
to short btc/ltc over a short
term period
cazalla: shinohai, lol
that image reminds me of another which someone on bitcointalk claimed

thefts..
turned out
to be a birth certificate or something
shinohai: will do. I have
tons of reading
to catch up on
this evening.
assbot: Draft signed by F2Pool, Antpool, BW, BTCChina, Huobi committing
them
to a 8MB increase. : Bitcoin ... (

ascii_field: it was
the diffusion pump (esp. langmuir's improved one) which allowed
the whole vacuum
tube
thing
to happen in
the first place.
menahem: danielpbarron PayPal is up - had it in
test mode. My bad.
thestringpuller: "It’s like an economy where
the investment is coming from some external country where Silicon Valley becomes like
the Bitcoin equivalent of People’s Bank of China." << because Nefario ruined it for everyone
ascii_field: speaking of vacuum 'diffusion pumps' - apparently
there are firms selling
them, from old uni chem kits, as 'bongs'
to smoke weed from
mircea_popescu: ascii_field is emerging like quite
the
tragic, byronian hero. on one hand, wishes
to drive
the dozer, on
the other hand, wishes
to have a place for noli
tangere.
ascii_field: i specifically wish
to drive
the bulldozer personally
ascii_field: '(875 – 884 AD) when Huang Ch’ao, a powerful young heir
to a family fortune, was unable
to pass
the rigorous exams needed
to become a licentiate. He responded by selling salt on
the black market and using
the funds
to organise a secret society with which he incited rebellions
that massacred nobles and officials and nearly,
thought not quite, brought down
the ruling entire dynasty.' <<
this has been my secret crackp
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 14:39:34; mats: will probably end up moving back
to mainland
mircea_popescu: always a pleasure
to see people able
to refer
to
the right source material.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski
the hunag fellow is exactly
the right example. i even hinted at him but never mentionmed
the name when discussiong o'brian idiocy in 1984 and how
the rebellion properly works.
ascii_field: in other news, i dreamed last night
that ft meade had been
turned into a kind of city-state, and i came
through it for some peculiar reason. it very crowded and full of rough-looking folks, like d.c. subway. went into a pub, full of demented old beggars, and pulled out a wad of 'nsa money' - shit-brown 'hundies' with portraits of some senator on
them. in return got glass of water.
ascii_field: the one in which
the glass vessels
themselves dissolved a little.
mircea_popescu: (for fun and games
the
trainee qm folk in attendance are invited
to set up either
the matrix or
the waveform so
that probability of solid losing atoms into gas at border is zero, see what happens)
jurov: iirc graphene is impervious even
to helium
mircea_popescu: no such
thing as infinitely bound material yet discovered
ascii_field: (vapour pressure in
the
tube ~will~ go up with
time unless
the gas has somewhere
to get stuck in)
ascii_field: important not only for residual gas in
the
tube after pumping, but also because
the electrodes sputter
ascii_field: this is done in
the craft of making vacuum
tubes. (recall
the shiny metal in
the
top of
the
tube?)
mircea_popescu: theoretically should vacuum
the other room
to soem degree
mircea_popescu: ascii_field vacuums not my forte, but is
the following ever done : have a solid cylinder separated into
two closed rooms by piston. fill one room with chemical compounds in liquid pahse which react, so
the resultant volume is lower.
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 19:04:54; mircea_popescu: ascii_field yes i know what
those are, i pay five
to six figures
to china each month k ?
ascii_field now wonders what mircea_popescu gets from cn by
the
tanker-load
thestringpuller: I like how
they publicized BIP-100 with "This won't require a hardfork" while
the PDF clearly states "Oh yea guise we need
to remove
the cap completely
to make
this change."
funkenstein_ has heard
tell of a
time when people wrote RFCs
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 14:03:47; asciilifeform: (does 'mean free path' mean anything
to you ? or slept in 4th grade ?)
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'll allow
the shitmedia
to set
the discussion agenda
the morning after i let gavin impregnate my wife.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it reads
to me like a very plain "let's
try and hijack b-a by pretending a bigger ba exists somewhere exotic and we are
the only ones able
to
translate its red star stamps"
danielpbarron: and by "invalid address" i mean
that i'm not about
to do business with someone who insists I acknowledge "multi sig" is a
thing
menahem: ok
ty. i'll be back shortly.
danielpbarron: it redirected me
to sandbox.paypal.com which
tells me
that my password is incorrect
menahem: not sure why I got
the error, lemme double check quick. my apologies.
