lobbes: Or is it simply: "Don't make yourself a
target for usg" ?
mats: .engineer domains can nao be rented for
the low low cost of just $50,000
ascii_field: 'THE COURT: As I said I am perfectly happy
to bankrupt
them. I am perfectly happy
to
take
their real estate and
to sell it, if
that is what
they choose. '
ascii_field: judge: 'I want Mr. Ceglia -- sir, you need
to understand something about me. I have no compunction about
taking people's parents' homes away and heaving
them homeless on
the street -- none whatsoever.'
BingoBoingo: Right, but if
the designer of
the
trap isn't competent...
ascii_field: perhaps it is best
to be
thought a complete idiot, in
this specific scenario.
BingoBoingo: Maybe
the assumption of a
tamper
trap is normally enough?
ascii_field always assumed
these have
tamper
traps like
the neck-bombs from
the film 'deadlock'
ascii_field: '...sliced off his GPS ankle monitor and affixed it
to a crudely built contraption in his rural New York residence "in order
to give
the appearance
that he was still present and moving within his home."'
nubbins`: "Guess we all know why
theymos has been hanging out in
the
transvestite hangouts now. He's embezeld
the forum donations
to
turn Bad Bears P into a V so he could be his B and he gave him admin privalges so you could come here
to
take out his frustrations after he rams it up his ass until he bleeds. "
mircea_popescu: of course,
the original was a fucking cycle of operas.
ascii_field: if anything,
the muppets are emboldened by
the gotterdammerung which did not come
mircea_popescu: this, of course, was pre HB. now
they might be more amenable. lol.
mircea_popescu: in which we find out
that openssh does not wish
to bestatic linked, and
this by design.
mircea_popescu: it also doesn't work, necessarily. if it did, we wouldn't actually need bitcoin
to solve
the specific problems it solves.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: except
that diseased state happily contracts
the megalomania out
to a hundred various 'mengeles' each of whom focuses on
the insides of a particular variety of designated untermensch
mircea_popescu: mental disease is no different, diseased states are always narrower
than sanity.
mircea_popescu: generally, illness in humans is manifested as a contraction of
the "presence bubble". you may sit in your bed
thinking of
things as far away as a continent, but
the man in pain sees nothing past his nose. and
the man in love, past HER nose.
mircea_popescu: wtf is
this world where such great
things can go out and not even a billion people show for
the burial.
mircea_popescu: dude for all
the pretense
they put forth ...
they've been gone for a month and i've not yet run into a mourning woman ?
ascii_field: sorta like
the skull on
the ss uniform, but more so.
ascii_field: 'we serve
the ultimate evil' loudly bragging, right in
the name.
ascii_field: it is also perhaps
the most comically named of
them all
ascii_field: ^ for anyone who was living in a sealed bunker for
the past few yrs, 'palantir' is one of
the direct subcontractors
to nsa panopticon wares
Pierre_Rochard: Peter
Thiel is a co-founder of Palantir, convenient for him
to arrange a deal!
mircea_popescu: aaanyways. it's a safe enough model for as long as inflation holds, because it's based on nominal figures. known as
the hyperinflation debenture frenzy.
Pierre_Rochard: my favorite was “Data analytics provider Palantir
Technologies Inc., which was valued at $15 billion last September,
turned
to an SPV arranged by Founders Fund, a San Francisco firm headed by billionaire investors Peter
Thiel, according
to people familiar with
the deal.”
mircea_popescu: "Pinterest board observer raised $200 million in
three days
to buy more shares—with startup’s blessing" << almost exactly different from how a ponzi is run,
mircea_popescu: OUR GREAT LEADER WAS SLAIN BY SOMETHING IN A ROUND BOX
THINGEE! ROUNDBOX
THINGEES ARE NOW BANNED!11
mircea_popescu: im kinda surprised "spvs" didn't get banned last
time
tbh.
nubbins`: "
The problem comes, I
think, mainly from statically linking other GLIBC libraries, notably "libpthread"" <<< we're using
that one
ascii_field: (for pathologically degenerate case, see my fpga
tale from conf-II)
ascii_field: aha. but must remind readers
that
they are not one and
the same.
ascii_field: was speaking of brain mass, rather
than bytewise.
mircea_popescu: give or
take, but i'm not really crazy about
the difference between 5% and 3% either way
ascii_field: (but so far does not appear
to be
the case)
ascii_field: if weighs less - worth at least considering only on
that merit alone
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it's
the other
thing people use other
than uclibc
mircea_popescu: "i make a loss on every sale but hope
to make it up on volume"
trinque has
trouble seeing
the value in something
that continues
to lose money, but
then, he's a simpleton
mircea_popescu: ascii_field except
the last perso who bought was later indicted for
terrorist bombmaking.
ascii_field: works great. sell joe
the alcoholic bomzh 'joethealcoholicbomzh.com' for
ten bux
trinque: ascii_field: yep, you
too can have your very own 'website'!
mircea_popescu: kinda not bodes well for government, either,
this state of affairs.
mircea_popescu: luckily,
the 80s are long gone, and
this strat simply does not work.
mircea_popescu: trying
to be fucking aol over here, huge corp with by far shittiest product.
mircea_popescu: right.
the bitpay "method", except
they're doing out of
their own money.
ascii_field: trinque: easy.
they're
the only registrar with
tv ads
mircea_popescu: was discussed here.
that ho being
their "image" what's her name ?
trinque: dunno how you burn
that much cash selling an imaginary product
mircea_popescu: their yearly
total gross attained 1% of yearly expenditure in no year since 2001.
mircea_popescu: the part i like best is
the scamconferences
they organise where
they go
to spend a coupla days in alt.universe where HUGE DEALS happen and stupidity is "an industry"
ascii_field: these schmucks bought up hundreds of
thousands of 'valuable' domains. naturally
they will
try
to monetize before fellating
their pistols
mircea_popescu: this is a business now. derps actually hope
to make money out of
this. someone might care about domain names still, because
they did pre 2001, because dotcom people were idiots
ascii_field: it was
the one part of
the grounds where one could not wander at will
ascii_field: when i did a
tour of duty as a perversely purposeless employee of university,
the cellar below my office, one flight of steps down, was a dns root serv. peculiarly well-guarded and fortified for something so low-traffic (root dns servs get used hardly ever)
mircea_popescu: anyway, it was good enough for
the webpage + guestbook era, which is back when it shone. everything goes away eventually, and
the duct
tape and chewed gum contraptions holding
togethere
the everyman's arpanet especially so.
mircea_popescu: "no
that doesn't happen" "right" "you don't understand how
the world works!"
ascii_field: (solidly usg-controlled and no one other
than us appears
to smell
the stink of
the beast!)
mircea_popescu: at least from what i've pieced
together from what people have been reciting
to me as bedstories since my involvement in bitcoin
ascii_field: can you 'fix' a roadkill baking in
the sun ?
mircea_popescu: you being one of
the perhaps five people
that did it
this year,
ascii_field: must say
that 'fix' is not
the appropriate word
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i began reading
the glibc source last night
mircea_popescu: anyway, if one's interested feel free
to contact me and i'll either say gtfo or
tell you what you have
to do. if you'd rather avoid
the record of
the gtfo feel free
to discuss privately.
ascii_field: why not shoot it in
the head and maintain uclibc's ?
mircea_popescu: you will be helped by
the glibc
team but you.absolutely.must.know.what.you're.doing.
mircea_popescu: what's now needed is an expert computer engineer willing and able
to
take over maintenance of libnss, starting with fixing it so it allows proper static linking.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in
the wake of my "who shat
the libnss" investigation
tptb have agreed something must be done about
this.
ascii_field: "libc", from which come incompatible calls
to "libnss" functions."'
ascii_field: and other
things. It's supposed
to make application programs independent of
the separately configured actual network environment of
the machine. A nice idea, but changes
to GLIBC can lead
to problems loading it. And you can't statically link "libnss", since it is configured for each machine individually.
The problem comes, I
think, mainly from statically linking other GLIBC libraries, notably "libpthread", "libm", and
ascii_field: '"I suppose
the idea is
that everything will be in
the downloaded file, so nothing depends on
the local libraries on
the
target system. Unfortunately with Linux, and I
think anything else using GLIBC,
this still isn't quite
true.
There's
this "libnss" (name service switch, some people seem
to call it network security system) which provides functions for accessing various databases for authentication, network information,
ascii_field: essentially, 'this -is-
the new static linking. forget about
the old one'
ascii_field: ^ examples from folks noticing
The Boojum and grasping at air while
trying
to understand why
they are being lied
to
ascii_field: 'If you believe "static linking"
to mean something else from what I
