kuzetsa: this time,
as a test I tried a nearby vendor (no crash) then went back to the one I had problems with and it was reproducable & crashed yet again
BingoBoingo:
As there is no uncountably infinite 0x in computing machines, there may be a lot of rapin to do to correct everybody.
mircea_popescu: Myth: systemd's use of D-Bus instead of sockets makes it intransparent. This claim is already contradictory in itself: D-Bus uses sockets
as transport, too. Hence whenever D-Bus is used to send something around, a socket is used for that too. D-Bus is mostly a standardized serialization of messages to send over these sockets. If anything this makes it more transparent, since this serialization is well documented, under
pankkake: and
as a Gentoo user I don't feel "trapped" so no delusion one way or the other
BingoBoingo: <sztanpet> cool, now that its un-prefixed from systemd people are meant to use it anyway so might
as well make it useful :D
pankkake: we now cover early boot stuff
as well
as STDOUT/STDERR of any system service => since again I am the only one here who actually used the things, this is absolutely crucial
mircea_popescu: Myth: systemd makes it impossible to run syslog. >> Not true, we carefully made sure when we introduced the journal that all data is also passed on to any syslog daemon running. In fact, if something changed, then only that syslog gets more complete data now than it got before, since we now cover early boot stuff
as well
as STDOUT/STDERR of any system service.
BingoBoingo: Take GABA A
as an example, very well understood
mircea_popescu: "systemd certainly comes with a learning curve. Everything does. However, we like to believe that it is actually simpler to understand systemd than a Shell-based boot for most people. Surprised we say that? Well,
as it turns out, Shell is not a pretty language to learn, it's syntax is arcane and complex. systemd unit files are substantially easier to understand, they do not expose a programming language, but are simple
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "we designed systemd with security in mind" << by now this is pretty much usable
as-is, might
as well be a protein binding site for pathogens. << Why not a still moar precarious binging site for understood drugs?
mircea_popescu: "we designed systemd with security in mind" << by now this is pretty much usable
as-is, might
as well be a protein binding site for pathogens.
mircea_popescu: if the computer is the shirt, and initd is a tie and systemd is a bowtie, me saying that it's not
as easy to hang someone by his bowtie is not answered by your proposition that ties can get stained too. sure, they can, but we were discussing hanging not disembowelment.
kakobrekla: if you are sheep, act
as the master wants.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This talk of sweatship printing
as a necessity, yes if everything is old trilems!
pankkake: just list a valid technical point of why systemd is bad and I'll listen.
as I said, the criticism I see just show lack of knowledge of both systemd and existing init systems
BingoBoingo: What the internet means though is that some nigga's Mac SE/30 is just
as much a first class citizen
as sum bitches Samsung galaxy s8
mircea_popescu: "
As for the algorithms themselves, the math, many like DSA are actually overtly designed by the NSA, so you can be sure they know how to break them, or they wouldn’t offer them. Others are probably expensive but crackable in high-interest cases (we’re talking quantum computers at their disposal). For anything super-critical I think a one-time pad is the only guarantee, and make sure your RNG works!"
mircea_popescu: ered-down encryption (to use stronger encryption in many areas, such
as AES-loop, you needed to compile your own kernel and go to great lengths to manually bypass barriers they put in place to the use of genuinely strong encryption). This told me then that those who controlled distributions were deeply in the pockets of intelligence networks. So it comes
as no surprise to me that they jumped on board systemd when told
mircea_popescu: "From the start, my revelations on this blog about Red Hat’s deep control of Linux, along with their large corporate/government connections, hasn’t been just about spying, but about losing the distributed engineering quality of Linux, with Red Hat centralizing control. Yet
as an ex-cypherpunk and crypto software developer,
as soon
as I started using Linux years ago, I noted that all the major distributions used wat
BingoBoingo: <BingoBoingo> And now Ferguson on the other side of te river seems almost
as bad
as Chiraq
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: !up tatinportland << i read this
as "tart in poland" first.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu:
as i understand, the chinese 'wot' is their... genealogical tree. and i'm not certain that they'd see out wot
as other than noise even were they to get out of that stage. (and why ought they) <<< this seems akin to saying poles are stupid, to me.
mircea_popescu: srsly, it does all that AND it does it all
as a single pid, AND it fixes which pid ? help me rwanda, what is this, microshit's fired a lot of "engineers" ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake so far i see some glaringly bad design decisions (core in journal, srsly ?) and some meat to the "they're trying to hijack linux" allegations. (srsly, this shit is too good to run
as a user instance ?)
mircea_popescu: "It's also worth noting that systemd will refuse to start
as a user instance, unless the system boots with it
as well"
mircea_popescu: systemd's journal files (handled by journald) are stored in a complicated binary format2, and must be queried using journalctl. This makes journal logs potentially corruptible,
as they do not have ACID-compliant transactions. You typically don't want that to happen to your syslogs. The advice of the systemd developers? Ignore it. No, seriously. Oh, and there's embedded HTTP server integration (libmicro
httpd). QR codes
mircea_popescu: "1. systemd flies in the face of the Unix philosophy: "do one thing and do it well," representing a complex collection of dozens of tightly coupled binaries1. Its responsibilities grossly exceed that of an init system,
as it goes on to handle power management, device management, mount points, cron, disk encryption, socket API/inetd, syslog, network configuration, login/session management, readahead, GPT partition disco
assbot: /evilgjb
as of last week ALL processes have ppid==1 to bring the /hashtag/systemd?src=hash experience to /hashtag/FreeBSD?src=hash
BingoBoingo: Kunta, if you aren't going to contest Toby
as your new name you might
as well just pick nubbins' cotton so he can focus on interesting t-shirts
BingoBoingo: bitstein: Such
as declaring limits to systemd's progress in the linuxscape
BingoBoingo: bitstein: I dunno if you've realized yet, but
as the S* N* Institute you need to take bold jumps
BingoBoingo: These things were common place for military people during the Cold War and then people just kind of... forgot. Well, welcome to the new world order: it's the same
as the old one, it never went away - people just stopped paying attention. Some people, anyway.
jdanks: I assume they taste like ass
as opposed to shit?
BingoBoingo: jdanks: Yes, tilapia are the worst in every sense. If you propose it to them
as a food, they eat it.
cazalla: barred rocks are the same
as plymouths, right?
BingoBoingo: And on many they participate
as members, but not directors
RagnarDanneskjol: well, many boards have consultants, litigators, etc who participate
as non-members
RagnarDanneskjol: "statements that can not univocally be established
as either true or false at a certain point in the future are BadBets and
as such unacceptable on BitBet. For instance, "God Exists" is unacceptable, because it can never be established
as either true or false."
cazalla: way back when also lists karpeles
as board member not director
BingoBoingo:
As you have to be a diretor to resign from directorship.
BingoBoingo: If he were never a director that would, I think resolve
as a "no"
punkman: in one of the foundation's IRS forms for 2013, only Matonis is listed
as Executive Director and some girl
as Assistant Director
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> The problem is the foundation is
as solid
as coco butter << quite.
BingoBoingo: The problem is the foundation is
as solid
as coco butter
cazalla: having glossed over director/board member, i bet no
as i thought brock the rock was a lock
cazalla: the position that brock and bobby lee won were advertised
as board members not directors
punkman: well
as I see it, some people still have Director in their titles, Brock doesn't
BingoBoingo: Right, resigns can be determining. So can director
as well.
RagnarDanneskjol: Ahh, regarding the verbiage on the wager, i read "resigns"
as the key determining factor
X-Rob: BingoBoingo: Z80 would be my favourite,
as that's what I grew up with. I actually collect vintage computers.
BingoBoingo: The foundation may be trying to set a trap, where they assume board member should be assumed
as a director on the board. In spite of that abusing the definition of both board and director
BingoBoingo: I mean they are presenting these people
as something they weren't when the bet was opened.
BingoBoingo: I mean I am no where near
as confident on this argument
as when I Bitbet lawyered my way to a righteous win on S.DICE vs. S.BBET however this seems to instead harken back to luke-jr's BFL miner.
cazalla: way back when shows those vacant seats
as board members not directors
mircea_popescu: maybe the result ios a "this website is merely informational" disclaimer.
as if lol.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: To be fair I have great gains to make if the bet is resolved
as yes, but... if such resolution makes muppets begin treating web documents
as documents of record when they publich and maintain them... that would be a plus.
cazalla: well look, bobby lee is named board member
as well yet they were elected to same role
mircea_popescu: gernika land in africa is just
as valuable
as land in the midwest,
as far
as land goes.
mircea_popescu: im going to have that
as a yes, sometime tomorrow. if anyone wants to make an argument... you got about a day.
decimation: I read it
as a parable about GPG usability
mircea_popescu: he was a censor, and
as a censor he had the authority to forbid luxury expenditures. which he did, by forbiding some types of textile, which were very expensive, all imported, and wore quickly.
decimation: Or load up on any of 100000 trucks who move such cars
as a trade (or trains)
decimation:
as if you couldn't just drive there in 4 hours
decimation: hehe yeah.
as one commentator put it (on greenspun's site): "I doubt that Obama (or Bush in his day) even thinks about what kind of travel arrangements are being made on his behalf. It’s the lackeys around them who like to be part of a grand spectacle, compounded by unfettered risk aversion in the federal and MA security apparatus."
decimation: it's an elaborate cargo-cult of security with real humans acting
as the 'cargo plane'
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah when I read your comment it brought to mind my youth: my friend's homes each had a different smell which struck me
as I entered
nubbins`: india ink is pretty solid,
as long
as it's marked
as archival quality
BingoBoingo: Looking for something that might beat the old standard of India Ink, but
as far
as I know that is the state of the art
mircea_popescu: (such
as, the worst thing a contemporary president can do for a disaster area ? travel there.)
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal there's a difference between form
as you use it and form
as used before. yours is the result of everything spurious being taken away, it's the form of livingthings chiseled in a million years of predition and ovulation.
BingoBoingo: Well form must always exist
as a +1 onto something else to be useful.
mircea_popescu: form
as used by they with a lot of substance isn't even form per se anymore.
BingoBoingo:
As notated in the logs from April - May this year after my scrotum's previous brush with illness and danger, the surprise Hearnia would be a most unwelcome guest.
decimation: I'm not sure it's
as conspiratorial
as you make out, 'people want' to have their systems boot quickly
lobbes: "
As they watched the bonfire die down, they asked the DEA officials to estimate the value of the marijuana they had just burned. The reply: half a million dollars. The farmers had to laugh. The value of the corn that had been cut down to grow it? $32" << heh, I wonder how many farmers just keep the plants
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Seems to be
as advertised. Better than when it was pointed at Coinminer
mircea_popescu: There was a young girl from Hong Kong whose cervical cap was a gong. She said with a yell,
as a shot rang her bell, "I'll give you a ding for a dong!"
mircea_popescu: so, learn from the experience of ninjashogun and a dozen or so other nameless, meanwhile forgotten fucktards that were beheaded in this chan : you're not good enough to earn your keep
as a politico. not here, not ever.

ben_vulpes: days of apps
as money makers is kinda gone at this point gernika
gernika: mircea_popescu well the apple app store is full of people who do. Although it's not
as popular is windows, the app store can be a good source of revenue
as apple users tend to spend more money on apps.
mircea_popescu: gernika i just didn't realise anyone who's not apple writes for the os-x
as a platform.
artifexd: Since in each case the post bet numbers are the same, the bot reports them
as such.
jurov: similar
as for gifs (or you won't support them altogether?)
