mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'cosmic rays' did this. << beats null op heh
asciilifeform: at the cost of now having to guard a suitcase of plutonium
asciilifeform: to roughly compare, this wouldn't be an airplane, just a pogo stick that lets you jump a few metres.
asciilifeform: but i don't eat that much food
pete_dushenski: you spend $100k/mo then ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: this is perhaps 1-2% of my costs.
pete_dushenski: ok, so you stick with cash and take 'pet' out for lovely restaurant dinner, fill gastank, buy best organic veggies and steaks.
asciilifeform: if through wot, invitation to get some other fine fella gassed on my account
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: invitation to be beaten and robbed

pete_dushenski: lolk mebbe not the visas...
asciilifeform: (one can buy petrol with them, that's mostly it)
asciilifeform: (other than adding to my usg-jailable liabilities)
asciilifeform: if i were to obtain (fell out of airplane, aha) a crate full of benjies, it would do exactly zero for my situation. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: it seems that your lack of a meatspace broker is requiring expenses to be out-of-pocket
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform as you've mentioned many a time, but in turn you're given stocks and options of some value
trinque: and there is no such thing as something without a cost
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: s.nsa is, in practice thus far, funded by my lunch money.
trinque: shinohai: I'm saying someone always foots the bill
trinque: though perhaps money in time

trinque: yep, said it costs "someone something", time in this case
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 00:03:52; trinque: pete_dushenski: ftr the foundation's funded by a tax
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1158558 << rly? from where i sit, it appears to be funded by folks willing to work for nothing ☝︎
pete_dushenski: though that's also the result of low barriers to entry
trinque: pete_dushenski: ftr the foundation's funded by a tax ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 23:36:58; jurov: "You will be coming to us and we will be working with you," a DECO officer recently explained to academics. "When your ideas aren't necessarily that formed, it may be that we say to you, 'Look, at the moment we don't see any concern, come back to us at a further stage'."
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1158532 << i've said it before, and will say it again - au is a usg-owned zoolag where they try out new and bleeding-edge idiocies ☝︎☟︎
trinque: we're talking about the end user's packets
pete_dushenski: right, and we're talking about the end-user here, are we not ?
asciilifeform: trinque: 'should cost something' does not mean 'random derp gets to charge'
pete_dushenski: trinque so what should the b-a foundation's bitcoind cost to download ?
trinque: largest machine on earth if you consider it as such... and people think it should cost nothing
shinohai: There *is* good free stuff online, I just don't expect it all to be free.
shinohai: Free sure, but if I tell that to my ISP they likely will disconnect my service. xD
trinque: shinohai: the internet is free comrade.
shinohai: I don't personally use it, I just love those posts where they bitch about paying for things.

pete_dushenski: ah, just rough approximations then ?
pete_dushenski: how is it that block 360213 was mined before 360212 ?
mats: fun fact: You can resolve kernel module addresses on Windows by looking at the session image list, which is linked to from a fixed VA.
jurov: "You will be coming to us and we will be working with you," a DECO officer recently explained to academics. "When your ideas aren't necessarily that formed, it may be that we say to you, 'Look, at the moment we don't see any concern, come back to us at a further stage'." ☟︎☟︎
assbot: Dangerous minds: Are maths teachers Australia's newest threat? ... ( http://bit.ly/1JDr3tB )
asciilifeform: 'Identified mitigations. Load your Nagant, place in mouth, pull trigger.'
asciilifeform: 'cosmic rays' did this.
asciilifeform: 'Also the JPEG2000 parsing is done within a try-catch that catches all exception. This would allow an attacker to bruteforce his/her way to successful exploitation as the vprintproxy.exe would stay alive even through access violations.' << ahahahahaha.
asciilifeform: nothing prevents us from referencing and zeroing memory prior to the font, as the 32-bit arithmetic will wrap.' << ditto
asciilifeform: 'When extracting a TrueType font from the EMFSPOOL file, TPView.dll will verify the checksum of the font prior to further processing. To do so, it will walk the tables, zero out the padding at the end of a table and checksum the table. In doing so, it will trust the ‘offset’ field of the table record and add it to a pointer to the font buffer. While there is a check to make sure that we don’t go past the end of the font,
asciilifeform: 'The program performs unsafe 32-bit arithmetic, leading to an invalid size check prior to a memcpy() operation, leading to a heap overflow.' << can we plz haz shitgnomes playing 'underhanded c contest' prior to employment? these old idiocies are getting - well - old.
asciilifeform: 'vprintproxy.exe is launched on the Host by vmware-vmx.exe as whichever user started VMware. vmware-vmx.exe and vprintproxy.exe communicate through named pipes. When writing to COM1 in the Guest, the packets will eventually end up in vprintproxy.exe for processing.' <<<< run moar winblows!! (tm)
asciilifeform: i forget if this was public or not
mats: exactly that galois
asciilifeform: mats: iirc that is one of the lulzfarms that attempts to fuck with bitcoin net for usg

shinohai: OMG we have TO PAY FOR NICE THINGS! http://redd.it/39694x
trinque: I used /dev/tcp magic making that gentoo image for mod6 the other day
mircea_popescu: it's so great it's easy to overlook
lobbes: I always overlook the power of piping
lobbes: sweet though, this gives me stuff to work with. thanks everyone
trinque: redirects stderr to stdout, then stdout to the log
trinque: that's what I was thinking of, yep
fluffypony: I think on OS X / FreeBSD you need 2&1>
mircea_popescu: i heard this before
fluffypony: and then get very frustrated when shit isn't working and I can't debug it
fluffypony: I normally pipe STDERR to /dev/null because I don't need no steenking errors
trinque: yup that too
fluffypony: you can just have a cronjob that does something like
trinque: and then blew up trying to tell ya
trinque: lobbes: could've just been that the thing had output, not necessarily an error
lobbes: no specifics on the actual error.
lobbes: checked syslog, but the error prompted me to install an MTA
lobbes: hmm that may be it
trinque: I guess depending on the cron jobber; there are quite a few of them
trinque: lobbes: logs to syslog
lobbes is new to this cron job stuff.. surprised to find the -only- way to see errors is to email them to yourself (i.e cannot write to local log)?
mircea_popescu: http://www.mateirosca.com/prose/the-medianett-saga-adventures-in-mercenary-churnalism/ << and here's a (very naive) story from the agitprop mines
assbot: More trouble for Airtel: Injects JavaScript code to monitor data usage; activist receives notice - Tech2 ... ( http://bit.ly/1KnxAaV )
ascii_field: http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/more-trouble-for-airtel-injects-javascript-code-to-monitor-data-usage-activist-receives-notice-270111.html << details of the dmca barratry

mircea_popescu: http://www.mateirosca.com/prose/no-lands-man-or-how-not-to-do-an-election/ << more of the same, if you care.
mats: that letter is difficult to read
mircea_popescu: looks like airtel didn't want the news of their fraud public ?
mircea_popescu: http://cryptome.org/2015/06/guccifer-letter-01.htm << fwiw, the style of that production is exactly the "pov derpage" fashionable among the unemployed writers/table waiters of the day, whereas linguistic profile radically unbefitting a 40yo unemployed cab driver in bucharest
mircea_popescu: except i just tried it and it went straight in
jurov: oh, that. no, not needed it yet
trinque is bailing from python as he can find excuse to
trinque: yeah, I suppose you can write against that six module right?
jurov: i'm fine with py3k, if you get acclimatized it's actually easy to write stuff compatible with both
ben_vulpes: just say no to python 3
jurov: yeah, since you're supposed to have 2 versions plus pypy plus whatnot working alongside something is bound to break
trinque: gentoo has this crazy indirection between the various python versions (is I suspect the culprit, don't care enough to delve futher)
trinque: jurov: I've totally fucked up my python install several times on gentoo, having to re-emerge python-exec, wtf ever that is
ben_vulpes: but i suppose that i just don't understand how the (c, unix, haskell, programmering) world actually works
