nubbins`: easier said than done
nubbins`: fwiw it's just a matter of ripping out the chunks of boost that don't belong
nubbins`: and my patience has limits so this is on the back burner for the next week or so, at least.
nubbins`: totally have the static binary here, just... can't replicate the build.
nubbins`: so i'm still not able to reproduce the portartronic pogotronic static build

mircea_popescu: i had to do a dbl take see if he actually put html cruft in his poc.
mircea_popescu: ^ i thought that was precious
mircea_popescu: <strong>All your box are belong to me.</strong>
mircea_popescu: of course, in the converse view, a sysadmin that actually fucks with your binary on a valuable box...
punkman: "1985 called, they want their exploit back."
mircea_popescu: "In this article I am going to show you how to create an executable that runs arbitrary code if it's examined by `ldd`. I have also written a social engineering scenario on how you can get your sysadmin to unknowingly hand you his privileges." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i imagine tumblr has a metric shitton of child porn
cazalla: "Cobb allegedly uploaded images of child pornography to the social networking site, Tumblr."

mircea_popescu: fluffypony kinda funny how the "decentralised exchange" is the webwallet of 2015.
cazalla: i was on skype no less than 1 hour ago lol :\
mircea_popescu: yeah totally. i have incompatible internet. incompatible TO STUPID
mircea_popescu: We were unable to connect to the Hackpad synchronization server. This may be due to an incompatibility with your web browser or internet connection."
mircea_popescu: "We're having trouble talking to the Hackpad synchronization server. You may be connecting through an incompatible firewall or proxy server.
mircea_popescu: the people who take decisions aren't on skype. the people who are on skype don't take decisions.
mircea_popescu: here's a clue : no decision of any import was ever taken on skype.
mircea_popescu: which hackpad thing reminds me : re the earlier hacker news piece - i find it hysterical the agitprop is seriously pushing the "and they got on skype" angle.
fluffypony: heh there we go
fluffypony: after that they seemed to veer off and create a "buttercoin team" and "productise" it
fluffypony: no, not beyond commenting on the hackpad
mircea_popescu: wait, you were involved in this ?
fluffypony: I commented on the Hackpad where we were shooting ideas around
fluffypony: right at the beginning
mircea_popescu: well luckily ver invested the money he doesn't have into a new way to butter the coin!
cazalla: <mircea_popescu> there wa sa buttercoin ?! <<< been around a while actually but done the pivot thing a few times or something

BingoBoingo: It's alright. I was only just working on a sandwich of ham... because no jew to be seen behind this IRC nick.

mircea_popescu: ie, they really abandoned any attempt to communicate at all, and satisfy themselves with browbeat. supposedly this works on the stupidest of the working class.
mircea_popescu: but the pretense that his thinly veiled propaganda is "real journalism" is indicative of the state of the usg propaganda machine, be it daily beast or wapo.
mircea_popescu: if this were how the world worked everyone'd be john oliver.
mircea_popescu: the ordinary streetwalker couldn't explain how a car engine works, either. that doesn't make car engines unimportant.
mircea_popescu: you can by and large identify disinfo by this very idiotic "person on street" bent.
mircea_popescu: in any case : that particular leak, and the much less publicised but much ampler leaks since, are not important because "people on the street"
mircea_popescu: mats oh, that oliver muppet.

assbot: John Oliver Grills Edward Snowden on ‘Last Week Tonight’ - The Daily Beast ... ( http://bit.ly/1NN9UuV )
mircea_popescu: ascii's wagen is not all that probable.
mircea_popescu: yeah well... it seems reasonably obvious that the usg's very uppity policy is insanity on the mid term. they need us a lot more than we could ever need them. obviously a bit of humility today will save a lot of abject humiliation in 2025, but in any case
mats: mircea_popescu: no, just the usual implicit 'fear the chinese' byline
mats: “What they are doing with patrols is just the tip of the iceberg. It is not just the number of the ships, but within five to eight years they will have about 82 submarines in the Asia Pacific area and we will have about 32 to 34"
mircea_popescu: mats anything above and beyond the "they succeeded making their own nuke, further sanctions superfluous" ?

mircea_popescu: much easier than to try and you know, buy all pogos, as alf was discussing.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell decimation once we settle in uclibc, uclibc gets killed.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> -somebody- saw it fit to break static linking on gnu platform in the traditional microshit way - suddenly, silently, and 'for your own good' (TM) << and the fact that silently worked tells mike_c why qntra market cap would reasonably exceed the sum of the market cap of all computing publications available.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> in other words, it only applies to code that the user himself has compiled << in other words, it is by its very definition dekulakization. run the fucking code usg & dept of friend computer say you run, terrorist!
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> deliberate. <<< that part was clear.
mircea_popescu: anyway asciilifeform no you're not the first to notice. you're the first to notice who is actually connected and thus powerful.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not entirely sure this is to go on the head of Andreas Jaeger.
assbot: The failure modes of "democracy", from people who actually know what they're talking about. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/19X3dsV )
mircea_popescu: hey mthreat is the search borkt ?
decimation: asciilifeform: part of the problem is that glibc has a 'colorful' history
assbot: The Hour Of Reckoning on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/19WZpb6 )
asciilifeform: obligatory: r. sheckley's 'hour of battle' and mircea_popescu's remake thereof, http://trilema.com/2014/the-hour-of-reckoning
asciilifeform: i still want to know precisely what patch it was that made it into various non-gentoo things, that silenced the alarm bell and deceived folks into 'yes this is a static build'
decimation: at any rate, I think the responsible option here is to settle on uclibc with the desired features enabled
decimation: for instance, if you want to resolve the names of 'cifs' hosts running on microshit servers
asciilifeform: -somebody- saw it fit to break static linking on gnu platform in the traditional microshit way - suddenly, silently, and 'for your own good' (TM)
asciilifeform: <decimation> I didn't see it. So " --enable-static-nss" is useful for glibc << as i understand, this results in random breakage (a binary which only runs with any degree of certainty on your machine)
decimation: in other words, it only applies to code that the user himself has compiled
decimation: what amuses me is that the excuse of 'it fixes bugs' only applies to code that isn't otherwise distributed by the 'distro'
decimation: asciilifeform: to be fair, their reasoning kinda makes sense in the world where libc is providing the 'global namespace'
decimation: I guess it's 'nice' that gethostbyname() can be arbitrarily remapped if you just want your linux to run winblows
asciilifeform: 'I do not know where to find the historic references, but yes, static linking is dead on GNU systems. (I believe it died during the transition from libc4/libc5 to libc6/glibc 2.x.) The feature was deemed useless in light of: Security vulnerabilities. Application which was statically linked doesn't even support upgrade of libc....'
asciilifeform: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3430400/linux-static-linking-is-dead << i'm not remotely the first to notice the gorilla shitting in the kitchen
asciilifeform: 3) The C library image is smaller.'
asciilifeform: 2) The modules can be updated separately.
asciilifeform: '1) Contributors can add new services without adding them to the GNU C Library.
asciilifeform: or did we do this one already.
decimation: right, the bums who vote to expel you after taking up residence on your property are morally superior, being bums
asciilifeform: aka 'how the world works' (TM)
asciilifeform: decimation: importantly - in a way calculated to 'steal the sense of having been stolen from'
decimation: asciilifeform: in other words, the dim mob wants 'process' precisely to dictate redistribution to them
asciilifeform: 'I might be stepping on some people's toes, but to me it looked like a high-school class where the dimmest students drew up guidelines on how smart students "should" behave, and gave that to the teacher in order to earn brownie points - including clauses like 'not contradicting the teacher'.'
asciilifeform sifting through ancient notes in thus far futile search for unrelated thing

decimation: https://rwcg.wordpress.com/2014/01/05/in-the-future-all-british-characters-will-be-played-by-idris-elba/ < "The basic situation seems to be that people (including me!) really really love Idris Elba & think he’s awesome, and also really really don’t want to appear racist. Ergo, Idris Elba should play every possible and conceivable British character who could in principle appear in a movie that you can name! "

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski the expression in romanian was " a face rost" , which meant to procure. which meant, talk to someone who knows someone.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: uh me too
decimation: because as much as I bitch about it, 'rule by derpy bureaucrat' is 100x better than 'rule by crazy mob'
