asciilifeform: kakobrekla: the cause << lol, berkshire?
bounce: what was that across-the-globe dns thingy again?
bounce: you may have a local cache that hasn't timed out yet
mircea_popescu: mike_c no, because they answer me.
mircea_popescu: well, until i hear any better this is neither malicious nor qntra/polimedia ns specific.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo not recently tho
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I know local host, but didn't qntra.net point there at one point?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo http://pastebin.com/JUFBdyyp << that's how dns response should look
kakobrekla: at least now _we_ know the cause.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: yes. i've a year-round allergy from 1993 or so to present time, with small break during trip to Ro
BingoBoingo: I dunno just quoting site that calls itself "domain tools"
BingoBoingo: IP Address 127.0.0.1 - 149,233 other sites hosted on this server per http://whois.domaintools.com/qntra.net
kakobrekla: asciilifeform iirc you mentioned some skin irritation/allergies and the lack of those in ro?
mircea_popescu: mike_c except if the dow continues doing 1-2 percents a day for the next three months.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo there's a dns issue in progress.
mike_c: plus he would get good tax benefits if it went to 0
mircea_popescu: look at that, dow is only down 1.5% today
mircea_popescu: anyway, i wonder if his continued purchases as the stock market goes down indicate that the bonds will get axed or that he's out of the loop
mike_c: your FUD won't win you that bitbet ;)
mircea_popescu: if it loses the usg bezzle lifeline (wf) it's gonna be "all" rather than "some" tho.
mike_c: couple stock holdings taking a hit isn't that big a deal
mircea_popescu: with their iron ?
mircea_popescu: so i guess we'll be... sticking it to them ?
undata: "sticking with their icon" captures it
mircea_popescu: yet the berkshire stock is... up. because logics.
mircea_popescu: ko missed, tesco lost 50% yoy, ibm just paid a bn to gut itself. so now it's basically a real estate agent (as previously discussed, in these very logs, before the news hit)
mircea_popescu: But it's not all bad news for Berkshire. Investors are sticking with their icon. Berkshire stock climbed slightly on Monday and Tuesday, and is up more than 17% this year -- far outpacing the broader market. <<< consider this lulz.
asciilifeform: no link to bitbet << It Would Be Wrong! (TM)
mircea_popescu: but i mean big fucking deal, when bitcoin went from 1200 to 600 i "lost" like a bn too.
kakobrekla: no link to bitbet?
assbot: Warren Buffett's Berkshire loses $2 billion in two days - Oct. 21, 2014
mircea_popescu: this is how they went from world empire to belgian suburb.
kakobrekla: takes too much brainpower to parse and decrypt frenchmen
bounce: how about trying to assemble french sentences?
kakobrekla: im listening to some french dude and can hardly assemble sentences at same time
mircea_popescu: pls to check for cache poisonings!
kakobrekla: yes i understand, i was just checking if there something wrong with the feed when mod6 mentioned 'down'
mod6: hmm. i can't get to any of 'em, maybe i r blocked
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yes becasuse s.mpoe traded.
mircea_popescu: well no tickers it never traded yt
assbot: Some are born to endless night.
mircea_popescu: http://mpex.co/mpex-mktdepth.php << it's there.
kakobrekla: i cant even type
kakobrekla: prolly nothing the the your feed
mircea_popescu: could have been used to exploit say tar just as well.
mircea_popescu: bounce you mayhap have a point. iirc this vuln was writing past the end tag and adding a 2nd spurious end tag.
asciilifeform: for idiot users - idiot vulns. for clever users - clever ones. to each - his own.
bounce: "idiot user" is too easily said. the real problem is lack of education and devs going "oh we'll make the software SMRT so you don't have to think at all!"
asciilifeform: ultimately, looking for vulns in a system that doesn't fit in a head is rather like looking for particular health problems in a fresh corpse.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=biw | Apr 28, 2012 ... biw. A common used phrase on the internet in the Netherlands. It means 'ben ik weer' - 'i'm back'. 'Biw, is er iets mis?' - 'Biw, is there something ...
bounce: similarly with some of the vectors to use shell shock. how does a dns lookup request end up on the server being fed to a bash process, exactly?
mircea_popescu: well yes, idiot user is the vulnerability.
bounce: then I'd say "user friendly" is the security vulnerability here
mircea_popescu: pretty sure the paclkage manager handles pics on a routine basis
bounce: how do they manage to take a picture and end up feeding it to the package installer? o_O
mircea_popescu: well sure, but the general case is uncommon :D
asciilifeform: in the general case.
asciilifeform: hard as shit to filter << rigorously provably impossible.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: http://i.imgur.com/7t3Ow2A.png <<< lol this is just about right.
mircea_popescu: assbot: NOT OK GOOGLE: Android images can conceal code The Register << steganography strikes again. hard as shit to filter.
kakobrekla: only if they are eaten
bounce: tiger dogs. very chinese thing to do.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla the dignity of virgins is a metaphysical subject.
kakobrekla: i guess he has the dignity.
asciilifeform: i personally know fine folks who've perelmanned. e.g., al schwartz. i miss them, but understand.
asciilifeform: you can as well not fuck << the perelman solution, yes.
mircea_popescu: then you'd make the two least ugly make out together, too.
mircea_popescu: if you ended up stranded on the island of ugly women, you WOULD fuck ugly women, until they had some less ugly daughters to fuck
kakobrekla: dunno when the dignity kicks in
asciilifeform: re: x86 << remember the stories of downed pilots dining on insects? that.
asciilifeform: ^ re: the evil addr thing
kakobrekla: ah that
kakobrekla: no need to rehash.
asciilifeform: we did talk about this.
kakobrekla: not the lamer part, but the x86.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you got tall legs ?
asciilifeform: 'you lamer, betcha own x86 boxes and like it, trololol'
bradedwards: Hey room, I was told about you all by a friend of mine Mitch Callahan. He showed me Qntra, and I like your approach. Less corporate news, more honest. Less polished, mroe of the harsh truths the community needs to hear. Just wanted to stop by and voice my appreciation and support
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: lol. if all the hatemail i got, on this specific theme, were to be printed, it would be as tall as my leg.
bounce: *nobody able to discern any change*
thickasthieves: "US will monitor travelers for three weeks when arriving from Ebola-stricken countries" it begins...
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla didn't, no. you're too dry for this language :)
mircea_popescu: never underestimate the importance of crackpot demands.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cause it's how things run in this life.

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: why is anyone still connected to irc << priced pigeons lately?
[]bot: Bet created: "Light Sweet Crude Oil (WTI) Feb 2015 to drop under $70 before 2015" http://bitbet.us/bet/1059/
kakobrekla: yeah well i wonder why is anyone still connected to irc being all idealistic and shit
asciilifeform: bounce: toss them around by carrier pigeon or catapult if you like. if they're signed, they're signed.
bounce: I'd probably want a mailinglist to toss patches around, though
asciilifeform: and why did this have to wait for crackpot to ask for a printed satoshi turd, i wonder.
Plaxant: it's like trying to eliminate stress, never going to happen.
mircea_popescu: people need a lot more negativity in their life to be happy and productive and members of society.
mircea_popescu: commenting it to show when it won't work rather than "what you imagine it does" is even more useful.
