asciilifeform: meanwhile, in other koch gpg2isms : https://archive.li/FWdDD >> '...signature verification routine parses the output of GnuPG with an incomplete regular expression, which allows remote attackers to spoof file signatures on configuration files and extensions scripts. Modifying the configuration file allows the attacker to inject additional encryption keys under their control, thereby disclosing passwords to the attacker. Modifying the
mircea_popescu: trinque no, this seems perfectly sane.
asciilifeform: this is The Right Thing.
trinque: aha, cribbing from the wise
trinque: idea is v-portage becomes the primary portage repository for the system. ebuild porter can bolt in gentoo's portage as an overlay, should be very easy
asciilifeform: trinque: imho your approach is the correct one -- similar to http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2014-October/000003.html , first pin down , then -- shaving.
trinque: I'm thinking I can probably shave a meg or two, conservatively. current script naively snarfs whole ebuild dir, and not just the particular version of ebuild used
asciilifeform: ity—will seek to paint an unfamiliar and inaccurate image of our community and our admissions processes...'
asciilifeform: 'Outgoing Harvard University president Drew Gilpin Faust tried to pre-empt the news in an e-mail sent to Harvard alumni and “friends”: In the weeks and months ahead, a lawsuit aimed to compromise Harvard’s ability to compose a diverse student body will move forward in the courts and in the media. As the case proceeds, an organization called Students for Fair Admissions—formed in part to oppose Harvard’s commitment to divers
asciilifeform: e.g. trb genesis , weighed ~900K , not so far.
asciilifeform: trinque: and betcha the 4MB will eventually melt into 1, or below.
asciilifeform: trinque: this is potentially pretty neat
trinque: opening this up for discussion now in case anyone thinks the approach is batshit.
trinque: we'll have a clear chain of custody back into ye olde gentoo, and from there can continue to digest the turd. subsequent vpatches should only ever contain one ebuild plus that ebuild's deps.
trinque: obviously this is far into "difficult to meat-verify" territory, so what I'm working on is a set of instructions such that another can produce the same genesis.vpatch himself.
trinque: phf, Mocky, and others waiting on cuntoo, the genesis.vpatch which contains only the ebuilds necessary for a minimal system is about 4mb. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( but , not being 'sexy', not much press on these in current times )
asciilifeform: re 'expert systems' -- the ones that did ~not~ try to 'learn' -- in some cases worked pretty well.
asciilifeform: aha, or see also the membranes discussion
mircea_popescu: the exact equivalent of "give more people the vote".
mircea_popescu: not having the mechanism that can say no, they end up "adapting to newcomers" which reduces total culture quotient in the system.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, to unite those other threads, there is ~a reason~ simulated culture, be it in the shape of "trained" bacteria or "trained" "expert systems" or whatever else "unlearn faster than they learn".
mircea_popescu: mcdonalds/walmart adapt to the exact needs of each customer coming in! ask them! and if this adaptation isn't obvious to you, it's because they are already perfectly adapted as they are. ask them!
mircea_popescu: EVERYTHING WORKS THAT WAY!!1
mircea_popescu: like "politics", at least the "just the facts" version jewmedia put on their collegiate github page.
asciilifeform: somehow it never occurs to the lulznovice to contemplate what the 'monastery' would be like if it were to actually do this, to 'adapt to' whatever is in each new dumb kid's cockroach basket he walks in with
mircea_popescu: rather, "i expect you to adapt to me". or, to quote the freshest social media cunt, "I'd have to provide a lot of terms and conditions". because... totally, what, democracy and shit.
asciilifeform: refusal to 'rtfm' -- the one truly mortal sin.
asciilifeform: i.e. 'hi i am goat and i expect this to work just like all goat pens i've sat in' ☟︎

ben_vulpes: well and also industrial food production pipeline optimized to crap out same five products everywhere.
asciilifeform: the interesting bit is that even if you venture outside of shitbucks et al, you get ~same pseudoedible crud. because 'customer expects', i gather. so they -- make.
asciilifeform: tastes pretty much same, possibly even gunkier, than the standard one
