Naphex: for all that panic with bash not too many exploits hitting
BingoBoingo: Is that really a bad thing kuzetsa
kuzetsa: it actually looks so shitty I think it might even be an automated thing done by a rather unimaginatve bot
kuzetsa: opensslrampage appears to be someone's blog who posts nothing but links to random-ass commits to the libressl repo
kuzetsa makes a funny face emoji thiner IRL :/
kuzetsa: I'm glad I didn't have a system policy which let that suspicious code run
kuzetsa: so it was a domain squatter using the .com when the actual site is on .org... interesting
kuzetsa: xmj: what did yoyu just try to link me anyway?
kuzetsa: what's wrong with using openssl to generate RSA keys?
kuzetsa: gnupg uses libgcrypt for the RSA key generation :(
kuzetsa: I just audited and apparently I made an assumption which is not true
xmj: didn't know that one, thanks!
kuzetsa: and then when you select RSA it's done via openssl
xmj: kuzetsa: that's one way to secure your systems, "yes" would've sufficed
kuzetsa: and that isn't on the server, that's on my laptop
kuzetsa: well... I mean my GPG key for authing with gribble is an RSA key but other than that
kuzetsa: I haven't got anything using RSA in production at this time
kuzetsa: xmj: that vulnerability is not present on my system
xmj: kuzetsa: did you secure your systems against the vuln in nss too?
kuzetsa: CVE-2014-3631, CVE-2014-6271, and CVE-2014-7169 patched, full system-wide stack smashing protection (via GCC 4.9.1 -- had to recompile every last binary package with the new GCC with the appropriate flags enabled) and a few other nice things done... yay!
pete_dushenski: how does that much lulz fit in one little screen cap?
pete_dushenski: you've got derpy media writing a derpy article about a derpy politician with the absolute derpiest of ads.
assbot: imgur: the simple image sharer
pete_dushenski: how time flies!
assbot: I just donated $1K to the Global Learning XPRIZE because governments indoctrinate more than they educate. http://t.co/nkWMXwFR3R /Indiegogo
pete_dushenski: was it 6 months that ver was donating millions? now, 1/1000 that. mircea_popescu was right, dood is broke: https://twitter.com/rogerkver/status/515344889807003649
asciilifeform: this doesn't even tough upon the very special chumpatronic clients who are admitted, to flounder about in 7+ years of too-precious-to-flunk limbo.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> in other news, slightly less than everybody is going to university in the us these days: << bwahahaha
decimation: in other news, slightly less than everybody is going to university in the us these days: http://census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2014/cb14-177.html
decimation: heh he should put some 'vibrato' on that
decimation: ah I see. apparently symbolics later marketed a card to install in apple stuff though
asciilifeform: decimation: 'maclisp' had nothing whatsoever to do with apple.
ben_vulpes: <decimation> gov't pays for such 'research', most of which is pointless: http://www.sbir.gov/ << people say: "do this!" and I say "what innovation? we duct tape thinger a to tab b and make clients happy." they do not understand, and i cannot enlighten them without calling into question that which they value themselves upon.
decimation: implication of peg to usd: they have some usd to trade
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peg | Dude 1: your such a peg, u said you didnt revise lol. by Frank MacE January 06, 2010. 377 189. Merch. 3. peg. For a woman to bugger a man with a strap-on.
cazalla: maybe they'll peg their altcoin to usd so that even if you win, you lose bitcoins
mircea_popescu: this is the equivalent of the "if newspiece title ask a question, the response is no".
mircea_popescu: cazalla as a rule of thumb, if grep "will" > devnull
cazalla: "An in-house, web based, exchange seamlessly converts Bitcoin (BTC) to Breakout Coin (BRO) with a cold storage solution to protect the currency, avoiding the opportunity for hackers to enter the servers. Breakout Gaming’s site will feature 88 different casino games including the popular Texas Hold ‘Em, Open Face Chinese Poker, in addition to a custom built Fantasy Sports betting platform. " more shit coins for your bitcoin
cazalla: anyone heard of http://breakoutgaming.com/ before? apparently johnny chan is gonna be the face of it and they'll have bitcoin deposit/withdrawals
decimation: No I'm thinking of maclisp, which is unrelated to apple I guess
decimation: was that based on ivory chip?
decimation: oh yeah I forgot about ti
asciilifeform: for some reason he omits ti
asciilifeform can tell that decimation read richard stallman's version
decimation: yeah it created two spinoffs
asciilifeform: (symbolics, lmi, ti - paid vast sums to license 'cadr')
asciilifeform: and mit rubber-stamped the bsd license release of the original cadr stuff, once priced at $maxint
asciilifeform: people made backups. on tape. someone actually paid to have many of the tapes recovered.
decimation: one would think that someone would have made a few backups, but then again shit happens I guess
decimation: it is interesting how this eurisko thing, the really useful symbolics stuff, early MIT lisp stuff -- much of it has simply disappeared
asciilifeform: whether eurisko existed - and in what form - is the real question.
asciilifeform: 'cyc' is a real laugh. they have a crippled 'open' version; in java, if i recall!
asciilifeform: afaik he remains there.
decimation: the 'cyc' stuff, yeah that seems dumb
asciilifeform: go and 'dismount the tiger without being eaten'
asciilifeform: by the time these things changed - he was fully occupied in operating an obvious chumpatron
asciilifeform: decimation: precious little horsepower (esp. for a serious lisp system); precious little network to speak of; etc
decimation: right, of the time, but he had the access to the same computers google did
asciilifeform: decimation: nope. resources of the time.
decimation: seems like if the stuff were useful, he would have out googled google before google googled.
asciilifeform: no way to learn the truth short of wiring him to the mains.
asciilifeform: same as the traveler thing
asciilifeform: until the real 'lenat leak' perhaps one day.
gribble: Douglas Lenat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Lenat>; Cyc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyc>; Cycorp | Home of smarter solutions: <http://www.cyc.com/>
asciilifeform: even leaves open the interpretations 'genius scammer' or 'scamming genius.'
asciilifeform: rll-1 supplement does not settle the 'scammer or genius' question, perhaps surprisingly.
asciilifeform: genius: it worked, he wanted to conquer world / get rich / etc. with it.
asciilifeform: scammer: it never worked really, he won the 'traveller' tourney using his brain plus a few automated routines
asciilifeform: he never published the source of 'eurisko'. each hypothesis provides an explanation for why.
asciilifeform: the schoolbook telling of the 'eurisko' project - open an encyclopaedia of computing, traditionally it is mentioned as a seminal work - suggests this.
asciilifeform: (the facts actually favour this hypothesis. he collected $billions for 'cyc' project, never showed any useful result.)
asciilifeform: there are two versions of the lenat story ☟︎☟︎☟︎
decimation: usg asks so many questions, doesn't understand the answers...
asciilifeform: it feeds a gigantic class of folks, some of whom could conceivably be of some use, most go back to home country after they had enough.
asciilifeform: for some archaeologist to vomit over one day.
asciilifeform: it, too, was interred in some 'indiana jones' vault
asciilifeform: the real lol is that i had to write a report, quite like this one, when my contract was ending.
decimation: indeed, 'markov chain in the brain' is quite powerful at correcting errors
asciilifeform: at least 3 of the documents came from another place and were public for ages.
asciilifeform: lucky that the text is readable at all.
asciilifeform: and the original was probably put on record as a paper report, as well.
asciilifeform: one - their end
decimation: some idiot intern did the scanning
asciilifeform: decimation: i tried, back in the day, was not impressed with result.
decimation: and I think you are right, they are too shitty to ocr for the most part
asciilifeform: anyway, all this crud is in one convenient place now, and readable on civilized reading machines...
asciilifeform: and might be interesting to compare the dtic-online version to mine.
asciilifeform: used to be, these were just catalogue #s.
asciilifeform: (where do you think i got them)
decimation: sometimes they are scanned, sometimes not :)
asciilifeform: perhaps because i ordered them scanned...
asciilifeform: lol, looks like they posted it, too
asciilifeform: decimation: the one with actual code is the 'supplement'
decimation: ascii I have bad news. The ones with "ADA" numbers have already been published on the internet by usg: http://www.dtic.mil/docs/citations/ADA096510
decimation: obligatory: http://acrossdifficultcountry.blogspot.com/2009/05/far-out-space-nuts.html << "“We must also go there and say: ‘What are you people doing up here?’”"
decimation: yeah :( too bad the warez only ocr pdf
asciilifeform: decimation: and 1/10 the render speed on small cpu
decimation: heh when turned into pdf, tripled in size
