asciilifeform: assimilationist ('i'ma go to new york and suck white cock the rest of my days') or irredentist ('i'ma learn to ride horses, shoot rifles, and kill as many of them as i can')
asciilifeform: that there are two basic flavours of how orc reacts to learning about the white man.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i am making an observation here, rather than prescription. (teaching tiny and hopelessly outnumbered eastern monkeystans how to kill billion-man enemy -- is above my pay grade)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in the sense where 'let! whole world gang up on our tiny country, we will soldier on' it is not a shining success, no.
asciilifeform: su -- maybe 80% juche; 90s ru -- 90% kowtow ; modern ru -- though i observe from afar -- maybe half.
asciilifeform: orc elites tend to fall into 'juche' xor 'kowtow'.
asciilifeform: the loading per se, with civilian browser + e.g., selenium, is trivial. the ~cleanup~ (run in vm? restore state how ?) is the tricky bit.
asciilifeform: it's only a 'remote control' for traditional www browser.
asciilifeform: i have a cl interface to selenium written from some years ago, i used it to cheat spammers
asciilifeform: has obvious problems (massive cpu expense, and cleanup)
asciilifeform: selenium + civilian wwwbrowser is 1 way.
asciilifeform: but in practice is monstrously gnarly.
asciilifeform: 'deedbot for arbitrary www links' sounds like the right thing.
asciilifeform: 'wanna know the output? run this massive turing-complete barrel of shit'
asciilifeform: pdfization, more or less, sounds like.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually i have a fairly accurate idea. but last time i opened the reactor cover, at least there was ~1~ copy of truetype shitfest running per box...
asciilifeform: find all copies of it and patch'em all.
asciilifeform: i (with handful of other folx) once built exactly such a machine, for executing winblowz virii
asciilifeform: but consequently suffers other problems (it is trivially blocked, and is in fact trivially distinguishable in real time from 'civilian' browser)
asciilifeform: yeah, i suspect that it is built along the lines described earlier
asciilifeform: and preferably in a designated public toilet
asciilifeform: the js, if it executes (and to archive heathenry, it generally must) must execute ONCE.
asciilifeform: (today it calls load_party_line_from_washinton() and it gets one thing; tomorrow -- another)
asciilifeform: can be remote-manipulated at a later date.
asciilifeform: i.e. a js-containing turdball is not self-contained
asciilifeform: (turn off js, and the text -- vanishes. store the js without executing -- the archive READER will attempt to load it ! from enemy ! )
asciilifeform: the most egregious heathens ('mainstream media' organs etc) worked quite hard to make their www ~unarchivable, and largely -- succeeded
asciilifeform: rather than to try to get the text out in the customary way.
asciilifeform: i even suspect that the closest thing to a final solution would be the extract a ~bitmap~ from simulated browser, and then embed OCR info !
asciilifeform: the js crapolade problem is also imho serious.
asciilifeform: ideally you want it running in a qemu-like thing with randomly-generated instruction set. and that reverts to known bitstate on every shot.
asciilifeform: i can think of 1 fairly easy method for rendering (there is , iirc, a 'headless chromium' or something like) but the problem is that if you run it on bare iron, it'll be perma-owned.
