BingoBoingo: <decimation> asciilifeform: usg buys everything on
the 'friends&family' plan << And no one knows how
tenous
their connection is as Force, Carl Mark IV can likely attest
decimation: 'the mountains are high and
the emperor is far away'
ben_vulpes: plenty happens beyond its domain. its domain, as was
the french, is vastly less broad and strong
than it
thinks.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> is mickey-d usg ? << When I worked
there after Library school frozen meat cam in boxes labeled Cargill, member of Carlisle group, indicted somewhat in Farenheit-911
ben_vulpes: "everything comes from
the government" my arse
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> maybe not where you live. << You may know
there where, but not
the how
to look
ben_vulpes: i dunno man, new relic isn't
terrifically dependent on government purchases.
decimation: asciilifeform: usg buys everything on
the 'friends&family' plan
decimation: "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a division of U.S. Homeland Security, said it would pull
the plug on its 17,600 employee BlackBerrys and favor iPhones instead.
The deal, according
to a "solicitation" document, would be worth $2.1 million —
to
the U.S.
taxpayer, at least."
decimation: $19.95 I'm getting more comprehensive algorithm
testing
than I can for a five-figure sum with
the FIPS algorithm
tests."
decimation: "Compare
this
to
the example I gave earlier of performing a
TLS exchange with Amazon.
This performs an in-depth
test of all
the crypto algorithms (corresponding
to
the FIPS algorithm
tests, including ones
that FIPS ignores), and
the crypto mechanisms (many/most of which FIPS again ignores). In other words simply by connecting
to Amazon using
TLS and ordering a "Scrubs" DVD for
decimation: but as long as 'we' are maintaining someone else's code it's pretty much inevitible
to fall into
the hole
decimation: not so much if you want
to add any features
decimation: this kinda 'works' when you are
trying
to keep a somewhat frozen baseline
BingoBoingo only gave chewing
tobacco 3 weeks as a habit before returning
to smoked
tobacco
decimation: If you look at how redhat 'maintains' a baseline of code, you find
that
they pile up patches as shit breaks
BingoBoingo: I suggest
this not as a solution
to
the OpenSSL
turdation and version hell, but as a way
to identify which parts of OpenSSL
turdify unforgivably
ben_vulpes: "does
the sub fly if i
tape
this jet engine
to it?"
ben_vulpes: join
the glorious open source archaelogy project of #bitcoin-assets
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: i recently got an itch
to
try
that myself
decimation: I remember fixing
that by
turning off docs
ben_vulpes: (is it in
the set of whatever whatever)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: is your medium-term goal
to cross compile bitcoind with buildroot?
BingoBoingo was going
to pick up an UltraSparc box
this month, but
the Chimp in Chief has forced a revision of all my budget priorities
decimation: actually some folks have
tried
to build ada kernel
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (assuming ordinary gcc still builds
there!) << It seems
they use a... modified GCC
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'll add
that on
the 5.7 release
to do list
decimation: I made a bug report on macports recently, was
told
to fix myself
BingoBoingo: If I want
to revert
to Nigbuntu or a linux, Sure I can get an Ada.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: OpenBSD does not have a working ada in its ports
that I could discover
BingoBoingo: I had
to replace
the wifi card in
this machine at a cost of $25, but
that was not a dealbreaker. It's
the other weird
that prevents wholesale recommendation. It
to asciilifeform's disappoint lacks an Ada
BingoBoingo: OpenBSD has been nice
to me, but weird compared
to linux and as a point
that displeases MP poor fundraiser Bob Beck is in
their WoT
decimation: although I agree with folks who assert
that redhat is gov't influenced, I also
think
that
there is something
to
the idea of freezing a baseline and keeping it stable
ben_vulpes: at
the end of
the day, man must compute
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: without a full deturding of a stack
there likely can not be a single one blessed OS
BingoBoingo: Oppenheimer himself was enough of a hippy
to go on
the "bad" list
decimation: "But enough of such simplicities, let us now
turn our attention
to
the real headscratcher.
The source of
that drum was Los Alamos, which is largely – but by no means exclusively – a nuclear weapons lab. And we have someone
there who apparently preferentially purchases organically. A"
decimation: ntpd was a somewhat misguided attempt
to
turn unix into a 'scientific instrument'
BingoBoingo: <decimation> but apparently nobody gives a shit, like
the open ntp ddos amplifiers << Software names make
this shit weird because
there was ntpd which had
this problem and openntpd which
to my knowledge didn't
mircea_popescu: which
then inspires idiocy in stuff like wordpress. "hey, open ddos amplification is industry standard!!11"
decimation: but apparently nobody gives a shit, like
the open ntp ddos amplifiers
decimation: yes,
the
traditional glibc/dns client shit is quite
turdly
decimation: I gather
the warning means
that it will probably work on
the system on which it is built but if you move it
to a different system (the binary) you might not be able
to resolve dns properly
mircea_popescu: so basically
the problem
there is
that it says it's static but links dynamically ?
decimation: if I recall
the getaddrinfo calls up
the resolv.conf apparatus
