mircea_popescu: (btw,
this is exactly how gentoo failed. ran out its
time budget)
ascii_launchpad wonders how many of
these 'beautiful surprises' it would
take
to make mircea_popescu a candidate for same nuthouse as ascii_launchpad
mircea_popescu: Alternatively, a repository configuration can be added manually without installing
the nginx-release package. Create
the file named /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo with
the following contents:
trinque: ascii_launchpad: lol, no $maxint in
there boss
mircea_popescu: You can start
that process by grabbing
the repository:
mircea_popescu: people who finely cultivate women do not have
the
time
to spend on cultivating boxes.
ascii_launchpad: 'Feels like downloading Windows shareware in
the 90s
to me.' << l0l aha. pretty much everything but a very finely cultivated gentoo or bsd box feels like ^
trinque: gentoo's ebuild doesn't look
too heinous
trinque: he's got a
twitter somewhere
that farts 'em out
trinque: I don't
think
that was a complete run
mircea_popescu: takes
trilema from burning 10-15 gb / day
to about 200 / month.
ascii_launchpad: 'To build Apache Bigtop, you apparently first have
to install puppet3. Let it download magic data from
the internet.
Then it
tries
to run sudo puppet
to enable
the NSA backdoors (for example, it will download and install an outdated precompiled JDK, because it considers you
too stupid
to install Java.) And
then hope
the gradle build doesn't
throw a 200 line useless backtrace.' << when do we set
the biodiesel boilers
ascii_launchpad: 'Consider for example Hadoop. Nobody seems
to know how
to build Hadoop from scratch.' << no one knows how
to recreate a
turd 'from scratch' either.
though,
there was
this one 'art installation' fella who
tried. had whole synthetic digestion apparatus, looked sorta like a small pharma pilot plant

the fact
that
the imbeciles commenting on
that
thing stupid shite like "you make a poor assumption
that
the NSA or whoever couldn't also add backdoors and other such snoop
to
the source code base, so when you compile it yourself, you are compiling
the NSA right in. Yes it would be more difficult, because
the maintainers should be watching, but if
they've been forced into it, would you even
ascii_launchpad was -of course- put by cabbie at
the, ahm, wrong
terminal, had
to do a bit of gymnastics
BingoBoingo: Gawker vs.
TheCompanyThatPaysFaceSpaceToPromoteItsClickbait, I hope
they both lose
BingoBoingo: you want
to
talk about
this post
that you emailed about? "
BingoBoingo: Nah, but you get lines like "When we were sending around a draft of
the standards document, what I said
to everybody was, hey, read
this really closely, because what you do when you publish standards, is
that you make Gawker your public editor. Sure, we’ll be looking for [violations of standards internally]—[but] you’ve got all of
Twitter, and you’ve got Gawker. So I have really little
to complain about, in some sense. Do
lobbes: naw I don't
think
they linked
to qntra directly, just funny
that
they did
the same scoop a month after us

mircea_popescu: i'm putting
that in here since we're doing all sorts of
trivia shit like "who's paying usgavin
to shit in bitcoin
this week" and so on.
artifexd: I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got
to where it is.
ben_vulpes: artifexd: well
that sets it apart from all of
the other crypto libs ascii_lander was going on about over coffee
today
artifexd: I would prefer not
to use
the word "audit" as
that implies I am qualified
to do so.
artifexd: I have my own fork of
the code
that has signed commits.
artifexd: Bottom line, I expect
to have something
to share for
testing in 4 weeks.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: artifexd you making all
this audit process public somewhere ?
assbot: Logged on 22-04-2015 21:39:33; mircea_popescu: maybe
this is what asciilifeform has
to do in hell. build all
the shit.
trinque in ignorance reminds
that once computers were built in garages
mircea_popescu: over
the course of
their lives, joggers spend about 6 years jogging
mircea_popescu: also in
the news : joggers live for 6 years longer
than non joggers
mircea_popescu: it still seems overdramatic
to me. chick just didn't wanna bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: or, in
the words of
tiffany, "Who cares if
the security let u do
this it doesn't mean u should have done it"
mircea_popescu: But
then, everything got Windows-ized. "Apps" were
the rage, which you download and run, without being concerned about security, or
the ability
to upgrade
the application
to
the next version. Because "you only live once".
mircea_popescu: Back
then, years ago, Linux distributions were
trying
to provide you with a safe operating system. With signed packages, built from a web of
trust. Some even work on reproducible builds.
mircea_popescu: maybe
this is what asciilifeform has
to do in hell. build all
the shit.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Nobody seems
to know how
to build Hadoop from scratch. It's an incredible mess of dependencies, version requirements and build
tools."
lobbes: one more reason
to never
touch an iTurd
jurov: android can be battery drained by
the same way, but at least i was able
to
turn wifi off
funkenstein_: <mircea_popescu> and
then $ gpg --keyserver sks-keyservers.net --send-key <KEYID> and $ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-key <KEYID> where keyid you just copy from
the line above. <-- what about
those
three letters showing up here?
mircea_popescu: (i dun imagine anyone seriously deluded
themselves into
the belief
that mit's involvement is going
to disuade anyone one ; i do imagine mit
thought itself large enough
to absorb
the shock and not end up like mtgox as a result - which is just as silly, but not necessarily visible from boston)
mircea_popescu: anyway, b-a vs mit is a lot better
than b-a vs some scammer's fake "foundation". we're going up in
the world.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, yeah, people were derping about hoiw forcing usg
to assume its assets is "bad" and
the foundation pretense was somehow "better"
mike_c: "I’m offering MIT as a neutral academic home for some of
the conversations and
the
technical coordination"
funkenstein_: much better viewing without
the light pollution of course but one
takes what one can get
funkenstein_: by
the way while you were meeting
there I caught
two back
to back Clinton shows
funkenstein_: anybody catch a look at
the LMC from buenos aires?
ascii_lander: l0l as if it wasn't clear
that gavin will not starve or be reduced
to honest work
