Adlai: RagnarDanneskjol: me, and a friend is planning on using it in a hedge fund sometime soon, and has been running it on a bit of personal money to test the waters until the fund goes live.
Adlai: although the most correct answer to your question is "me", since in it's current form it still kinda requires me to manually set it up

Vexual concede it'll be immediately after he takes my money

Adlai tends to /ignore in his brain, not in his IRC client
Adlai: * | Vexual concede it'll be immediately after he takes my money << the beauty of scalpl's design is that you don't have to give me your money to use it, although you do have to trust the exchange which you choose to use
Vexual: ill give you money anyway, just to be a cunt
Adlai: right now, the answer is "until the guy who's supposed to call me, calls me"
Adlai: RagnarDanneskjol: are you interested in using scalpl once it's at that level?

mats_cd03: LXC has been battle tested for a few years. containers, decades. seccomp is available in the LXC driver, but not in libcontainer. so, the same risks as before -- arbitrary execution of kernel code. leaking to other containers, lack of fine-grained access to devices (in the works, i belieb)

bounce: fits with the rest of the evidence about the other systems deployed by parties using this
decimation: asciilifeform: there's an even deeper truth there - the reality is that usg doesn't have the 'People' needed to determine actual truth
decimation: so all they can do is make a cardboard cutout robot of a 'person'
bounce: corollary: since parties deploying this are out to get you, not help you, they should be avoided. or neutralised.
bounce: feh. they have the people. they're just wasting resources on big large expensive machines that go 'ping'. they /could/ be hiring people for that money, but they're not.

bounce: noteworthy is that in the 100+ years fingerprinting has been in use, there's been something like one limited study (30k fingerprints or so), and that's it.
decimation: "The FBI described the fingerprint match as "100% verified". According to the court documents in judge Ann Aiken's decision, this information was largely "fabricated and concocted by the FBI and DOJ". When the FBI finally sent Mayfield's fingerprints to the Spanish authorities, they contested the matching of the fingerprints from Brandon Mayfield to the ones associated with the Madrid bombing."
assbot: The Myth of Fingerprints
bounce: all good and well to want to avoid societal collapse, but to pretend biology would willingly accomodate you there is maybe a bit much. the judge's answer thus is a good measure of the quality of the judicial branch
decimation: fingerprints are part of the general 'forensics' pseudoscience that is used as an aid in reducing the number of thinking people required to throw a chump in the gulag
bounce: too few, but I won't wager it'll be zero
chetty: well as soon as there is fingerprint evidence on someone they want to get off
decimation: asciilifeform: after all, only experts can make the right 'match'
bounce: fingerprints work reasonably well as criminal corrobating evidence. as soon as that gets forgotten that the matching is taken as a binary guilty decision, then we have guaranteed miscarriages of justice all over

mircea_popescu: *: bounce thinks the amount of "security" around POTUS is both its own show and another sign that el presidente is not in fact in control of the government faculties <<< doh.
mircea_popescu: bounce: all good and well to want to avoid societal collapse, but to pretend biology would willingly accomodate you there is maybe a bit much. the judge's answer thus is a good measure of the quality of the judicial branch << you have to understand that pious fraud was a lot more fashionable in 1914 than it is today
mircea_popescu: part of the reason is post structuralism and deconstructivism. the other part is the internet.
mircea_popescu: in any case, most of the stuff justice relies on to function is actually broken and couldn't stand scrutiny. ironically, the older it is, the more apt it is regarded by the amply conservative mechanism of justice ; yet the more likely to be flawed irretrievavbly
mircea_popescu: as anything made by men who are not cool enough to live with cocksucking sluts is suspect.
mircea_popescu: and so... fingerprints ? lol. but they're being replaced with "dna proof". which IS more selective,
mircea_popescu: but it is much less probative, because so easy to contaminate.
mircea_popescu: all that's needed to put someone at a crime scene today is an old hairbrush, or a worn shirt, or anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: the 'method' idea is possibly lifted from the jewish tradition (where you are not, in fact, asked to believe in god, but to simply carry out the program, as i understand.) << errything's lifted from judaism.
PinkPosixPXE: My dog only gets to IRC on days of the month that are prime.
xanthyos: the jews seem to be more interested in tradition and ritual than ethics
PinkPosixPXE: No, it's a girl I captured in a parking lot, and stuffed in my basement...
xanthyos: i think jesus was unclear as well, and that's why he signed a new contract with verizon
assbot: Bitcoin Address 16crkmdoaK6Tq8NP3FVK7Uxq5Dwdicb3c3
ThickAsThieves: omg Blair's Death Rain Habanero Pepper Chips -- totally unnecessary
xanthyos: is that from the desk piece halfway through an episode of bill maher?
xanthyos: i gotta tell you i've always been a liberal but the way the left is handling this ebola thing as a race issue makes me fucking crazy
undata: "Who would Jesus shoot?" << yes.
assbot: Let Them DIE!!! - YouTube
undata: an actual outbreak of ebola in the US would be good for this country, though completely unlikely.
undata: I'd love to see our system try to grapple with an actual problem.
xanthyos: i'd love to see the demand for food and fuel plummet
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 20000 @ 0.00073831 = 14.7662 BTC [+] {2}
undata: honestly though, people would just assume it was a sign of the end times and double down on irrationality
mats_cd03: 18:29:29 <+mircea_popescu> mats_cd03: mitigation involves layering. SELinux, one docker per vm, <<< trhen why even bother ? am i dense ?
mats_cd03: no genuine 0days have been publicised
mats_cd03: and if you have a competent sysadmin it does actually make the developers job easier
mats_cd03: you sure you should be spending your hard earned fry cook dollars on ddos?
mats_cd03: here, have some attention in exchange
undata: mats_cd03: I believe it was a question of why both docker and vm?
undata: or if not, I'm asking.
undata: mircea_popescu: you get that with host/vm, why docker?
undata: I like docker for managing system state; I'm asking what the security value add is above just using the VM directly.
mircea_popescu: even better for "managing system state" would be making the system simpler.
mats_cd03: the VM is for protecting you from docker, nto the other way around
undata: mircea_popescu: docker does run the risk of merely snapshotting the wad of mess and saying "ok, this wad worked, kind of" rather than actually understanding system state
mircea_popescu: no, i odn't mean its actual composition. i mean its design.
mircea_popescu: undata how would a script "understand the system state" once you actually need it to do so ? (ie, you no longer do)
fivezerotwo: irccloud looks like this: sid23029@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-lexoqakyeznnmfjo
xanthyos: where's the exit door from the chapel perilous?
undata: mircea_popescu: You can make changes to a docker by hand, then make an image from that. It's better to stick to your Dockerfile, but you don't have to.
ben_vulpes: i see only abstractions that help manage one set of complexities while making more complexities.
undata: ben_vulpes: system config should be built into the OS, and each act of changing it should leave a snail trail
undata: all these config management systems are trying to fix the bustedness of linux
mircea_popescu: fivezerotwo load average: 0.57, 0.31, 0.31 /me shrugs.
mats_cd03: immutability is one of the design mitigations in docker
mats_cd03: forces devs to do some programming gymnastics with /noexec
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes put it on a read-only flash, immutable enough.
mats_cd03: 19:45:29 <+fivezerotwo> irccloud looks like this: sid23029@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-lexoqakyeznnmfjo << kek
undata: ben_vulpes: WAL log, postgres-as-OS :p

fivezerotwo: mircea_popescu, relax, this will come in waves ;_;
mats_cd03: fivezerotwo: planning on targeting me? you've got my attention now
kakobrekla: can you throw all you got at logs and keep it at full as long as you can?
kakobrekla: i really wonder if host will start to bitch at some point
fivezerotwo: mats_cd03, later ;; kakobrekla digitalocean does at some point, but they are one of the more resilient hosts
