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
BingoBoingo: Azelphur: You realize
this highlights a prime problem wrought by
the nternet, right?
BingoBoingo: Azelphur: I bet your phone has more
than
two colors
though
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: I can run XFCE on my phone
too :P
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: CalDAV is an open specification
that has been around for ages, if your application doesn't support it it's your application
that sucks and not ownCloud
BingoBoingo: Azelphur: Are ypou familiar with my definition of real Mac OS and
the machines I still connect
to
the internet with it?
Azelphur: it all
talks CalDAV afaik, but I wouldn't be caught dead on a Mac so...
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: it has one, uses CalDAV so will integrate with anything else you have,
the Calendar rewrite is also nearly finished with a bunch of new features.
mircea_popescu: nowadays it's just about
to
tip over into sanity. well done scheneir, you win a
trip
to suck my cock :D
mircea_popescu: "Anything ECC is currently highly suspicious, not in
the least because
the math is complex." <<< ah i'm so flattered. so a year or
two ago, schneier and
the "consensus" i nthe community was
that rsa bad, ecc good ; mp was exactly on
the other position.
BingoBoingo: even
though actual solutions have existed for a long
time
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: like what? I'm implementing missing
things.
BingoBoingo: Owncloud is missing everything people like about
the big names
BingoBoingo: Azelphur: No it has everything
to do with
them because owncloud sucks
Azelphur: the easiest way
to describe it is open source self hosted Dropbox/iCloud
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: it's nothing
to do with
them beyond
that it's similar
Azelphur: so apparently I'm like,
the posterchild for ownCloud now
Azelphur: tried ownCloud, added some missing features,
their
team are all like "Oh, we'll pay for your costs
to go
to Berlin and come
to our conference"
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!"
BingoBoingo: Including
the part where 68040's were not Mac's
BingoBoingo: I'm just amazed I've spent ~12 hours now at just
the right BAC
to pontificate on *nix'y
things
mircea_popescu: stuff like
that'd be so much better explicitly stated...
assbot: Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By
The NSA « IgnorantGuru's Blog
mircea_popescu: to, despite
the mock choice publicized
to users –
there was never any option."
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: I
thought you spent
the last month finger fucking
the shit out of i* games
BingoBoingo awaits
the
Trilema post analysing angry birds, which
to my knowledge is still
the canonical
touch screen game
mircea_popescu: yeah, but most of
them are fortunate enough
to be poor, and lucky enough
to live in countries
that aren't built like
the inside of a cattle ranch.
chetty: there are dumbass consumers everywhere, unfortunately not limited
to us
BingoBoingo: I'll search for
the hat when I sober up. Just juggling a bunch of foreigners atm
mircea_popescu: i blame
the dumbass us consumers, but hey, what difference does it make.
mircea_popescu: decimation: after all, wouldn't you like
to
tie your boot process with opaque silicon? << you, of course not.
the silicon marketeers, of course yes.
the great
tablet experiment has everyone salivating.
assbot: /mwlauthor You wrote
the openbsd book, mind joining /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash-assets for a bit on freenode?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Don't worry, I already mentioned
the Federal
task force looking over my plaintext shoulder in pm.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know last
time someone did
this
they ended up having
to put coinz in
the hat.
BingoBoingo: <BingoBoingo> Seriously, it's why I like living south of I-70, put some distance between myself and
that.
BingoBoingo: <BingoBoingo> Oh just niggers shooting each other,
the usual
BingoBoingo: <BingoBoingo> And now Ferguson on
the other side of
te river seems almost as bad as Chiraq
BingoBoingo: <BingoBoingo> Also Chicag still sounds worse
than Iraq
BingoBoingo: <BingoBoingo> Oh, I'm
trying
to move further south in
the state, but if I can't find a uni job I might go expatriate first
BingoBoingo: So I joined random channel suggested by a spammer banned before I could post
there but conversation with another person
there:
assbot: Monty Python: Royal Society For Putting
Things on

mircea_popescu: o look,
there's an entire systemd discussion in
teh log.
BingoBoingo: At
the airport when he was getting cuffed maybe, or are you refering
to
the bong
thing I own none of.
BingoBoingo: Or do I price my liberty
too cheaply? Or do I overestimate my oratory skill
too much?
BingoBoingo: What I am seriously curious about is why does no other person in BTC have a cool story
to
tell about
their FBI encounter?
BingoBoingo: Or like systemd radiation would have been still moar
trendy
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
The curies were poles weren't
they. Also
the poles are pretty much all of
the pale left in Chiraq
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: !up
tatinportland << i read
this as "tart in poland" first.
mircea_popescu: X-Rob: I consider myself vindicated << lol didn't even
take
that much!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
Then why did
the smart poles get
that radiation poisoning
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: anyway,
the whole dram seems
to me
ts'o and mebbe
torvalds hating on sievers and maybe poettering.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, systemd is what,
the pulseaudio guy and
this guy, right ?
mircea_popescu: i edit everything. i actually learned
to program by randomly poking and peeking in
the z80 memory.
pankkake: I'm sick and
tired of
talking in riddles
mircea_popescu: well yes, but
these seem a bunch of binaries instead ?
pankkake: it's a bunch of shell scripts
that do just
that
pankkake: nor is
torvalds against systemd
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell pankkake srsly,
the odds of me coming
to an opinion contrary of
torvalds' on
topix of linuxness are maybe null. wtf.
mircea_popescu: apparently systemd devs have all
the love and support
they could use lol.
mircea_popescu: "It's really sad
that
things like
this get elevated
to
this kind of situation, and I personally find it annoying
that it's always
the same f*cking prima donna involved,"
Torvalds wrote.
mircea_popescu: well ubuntu is imo
the drain of
the linux world. all shit will eventually end up in
there,
assbot: Torvalds rails at Linux developer: 'I'm f*cking
tired of your code'
The Register
mircea_popescu: be it. We will look for alternatives, however." <<
there's definitely some substance
to
that.
mircea_popescu: "11. Ultimately, systemd's parasitism is symbolic of something more
than systemd itself. It shows a radical shift in
thinking by
the Linux community. Not necessarily a positive one, either. One
that is vehemently postmodern, monolithic, heavily desktop-oriented, choice-limiting, isolationist, reinvents
the flat
tire, and just a huge anti-pattern in general. If your goal is
to pander
to
the lowest common denominator, so
mircea_popescu: dude, init systems
that hijack
the core dumping process, control
the power settings and disk fucking encryption all
together aren't "init systems" in
the vein of what you're
thinking of.
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: "systemd clusters itself into PID 1. Due
to it controlling lots of different components,
this means
that
there are
tons of scenarios in which it can crash and bring down
the whole system. But in addition,
this means
that plenty of non-kernel system upgrades will now require a reboot."
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"
punkman: pankkake: well I have no clue, but is it
that systemd is not retarded, or
that
the alternatives suck
BingoBoingo: pankkake:
this is *nix world, everything works!
pankkake: the part of jumping of
the "systemd is bad" bandwagon without any knowledge whatsoever
pankkake: there's "like" and "I have
to actually do
things with it"
mircea_popescu: pankkake i have nfi,
this is my checking process. does it suck ?
mircea_popescu: i mean sure,
the "journal gets corrupted, fuck you, we're not fixing it" i can see. but
then... dump all cores into it ?
pankkake: have you actually checked
the validity of
this list?
