mircea_popescu: it is a matter of need : in order to ensure your space you must control whole chains. there's no escaping this, and so someone will have to. nobody particularly has a desire to run a cnc mill or an ic fab, but if one wants working software, one has to. and so it flows.
asciilifeform: ^
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a naked woman can be taught anything if you're willing to break an uncountable set of sticks.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: teach'em, why not
mircea_popescu: the part that's worth teaching is easy to teach, and unrelated to intelligence.
mircea_popescu: the part you won't teach them shouldn't be taught anyway.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wake me up when they get kernel
mircea_popescu: "how to make this counterintuitive sht work ? " "don't."
asciilifeform: wake me up when they build a fab.
mircea_popescu: y u wanna sleep so much.
asciilifeform: even a 'fairchild' circa '70s fab.
asciilifeform: practicing for cemetary.
asciilifeform: i hear sleep is the main order of business there.
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: i never hear of anyone flunk the cemetery.
mircea_popescu: scarcely any need to practice then.
mod6: so re: all the uint32_t, sorry that you're all having problems with this. I guess I missed a lot of stuff.
asciilifeform: mod6: read the log. i fixed it, only to reveal a mega-bug
mircea_popescu: mod6 do you have any idea why your thing compiled it ?
asciilifeform: where none of the 'static' stuff actually worked ever.
mircea_popescu: yeah, read whole log,
asciilifeform: will post patch for 'fix' in a spell. gotta change clothes first.
asciilifeform: problem, currently, is that no one but me seems to be able to replicate this!
asciilifeform: maybe hanbot can try? gentoo box?
mod6: mircea_popescu: nope. none. my deb6 environments (yes more than one) all compiled it fine with gcc 4.4.5. i didn't have problems on gentoo either fwiw. but not sure what the gentoo AMI had for a compiler. my guess is that I was fooled by gcc.
mircea_popescu: mod6 the question is : why has your compiler not complained about an undefined symbol
mircea_popescu: given tyhe symbol is in fact undefined.
mod6: no good answers there.
mircea_popescu: its mother is, "what else is your compiler putting in you don't know about"
asciilifeform: ^^^
mircea_popescu: and their joint horrible twin sister being, "hey, turns out so called static builds aren't even static"
asciilifeform: ^^^^
mircea_popescu: by now we have a family of these monsters, which is very worrisome,.
mod6: i think, maybe im not the right guy for this. or at minimum, I need someone who can look over my shoulder on this. there's no way we should have these issues 5 months into a project.
asciilifeform lays off the poor ^ key
asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu has it.
asciilifeform: in spades.
mircea_popescu: mod6 no, actually, there's no way to have these issues INTO GCC!!!
asciilifeform: i take it mircea_popescu is a gcc-bug-virgin
mircea_popescu: which is a 20 year old project, and which i had been using as a reason to justify why im not taking a piss in rms' hairdo
asciilifeform: or - was
mod6: mp: im not sure I follow
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's bugs and there's bugs.
mircea_popescu: mod6 from which point ?
mod6: I don't know why it worked for me.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rms is long in the tooth, old, and endlessly hammered by clean-shaven fools who don't eat 'toe jam' and spit in his face
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 no, actually, there's no way to have these issues INTO GCC!!! << here. what?
mircea_popescu: mod6 what i'm saying is, this stuff would not reasonably be expected by you, nor is it a function of the project.
asciilifeform: for all we know, 'toe jam' is a micronutrient
mod6: i guess it was doing something strange on my end, or maybe debian 6 has something strange it does?
mircea_popescu: it looks more like very major issues with gcc itself.
asciilifeform: one without which a decent compiler is quite impossible.
mod6 reads scroll back
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the issues cut deeper than gcc. we are dealing with what ilkka kokkarinen called 'unprincipled exception', where something is allowed to stay broken because fixing it would break 10,000 other things.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why i'd kinda like to get to the bottom of this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform unprincipled exceptions are fine IF DOCUMENTED
mircea_popescu: the undocumented unprincipled exception is something entirely different.
asciilifeform: it is also possible that i am somehow mistaken about all of this
mircea_popescu: sure.
mircea_popescu: the only way to find out is to hammer the things that worked until we know why the fuck they worked.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, ever published the recipe to obtain that "statically linked is not statically linked" error ?
asciilifeform: but regardless, i have at least two dozen proggies on this here box that -have- to be built with gcc x.y.z or else
asciilifeform: it is nothing new to the veteran turd-shoveler.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the recipe consists of attempting to build it on either of my boxes after patched to fix the integer thing
mircea_popescu: people derping about how "bitcoin will fail because tis or that" are such fucking idiots, incidentally. COMPUTING NEVER WORKED.
mircea_popescu: if that were the criteria...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's the peculiarities of said boxes ?
asciilifeform cranks out patch
mircea_popescu: how would someone reproduce it ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: posted earlier in thread
mircea_popescu: aok
asciilifeform: about to post more detail
mircea_popescu: k
mod6: <+ascii_field> has any of you lot checked to see that the executable resulting from this build ACTUALL contains the openssl built by auto.sh ? << i never did, this could be a problem too
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-04-2015#1083026 << is this something along the lines of "nothing bad can happen to me im a nice person minding my own biznis" ?
assbot: Logged on 01-04-2015 22:26:52; funkenstein_: i don't see this giant
mircea_popescu: mod6 i thought you tested it in vms ?
mircea_popescu: those'd only have one conceivably.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> the idea is, for someone wanting to copy your environment, to be able to do so with minimal work << i think going forward this is the only thing we'll support/build from/work on, something that we agree is "good"
mircea_popescu: yeah but how deep does it go

mircea_popescu: NewLiberty never heard of the site, so...
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 i thought you tested it in vms ? << yup. one virtual box deb 6 vm, one aws deb6 AMI and a friend had a separate deb6 ami. my gentoo testing was on gentoo aws AMI also.
mircea_popescu: so it wouldn't have an openssl other than what auto.sh makes
mircea_popescu: unless there's a magic one ?
mod6: i can take a look at mine in xxd, just a moment.
mod6: (the virtualbox one, in particular.)
hanbot: asciilifeform> maybe hanbot can try? gentoo box? << would love to help out, unfortunately i haven't managed to get it working quite yet.

assbot: Logged on 01-04-2015 22:43:56; ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> we could readily employ thousands. << you and what budget?!
mircea_popescu: fuck that shit, obama is the blessed child of the heavens, can run deficits ?
mircea_popescu: what sort of contest is this ?
mircea_popescu: i am happy to announce that for the fy 2014 serenissima ran a whopping 5798796857967496834% deficit
mircea_popescu: all voluntarily contributed.
mircea_popescu: this is the contemplated policy going forward.
mod6: someone also mentioned that we (the bitcoin foundation) should host the openssl, bdb, and boost libs on our website for dl. i decided against that as i like someone to feel like they're getting a copy from the originator. (this is from yesterday)
mircea_popescu: yeah that someone was me
mod6: so that's why that isthe way it is.
mircea_popescu: the reason i proposed that is because i have no doubt the "originators" will sooner or later run away with the code.
mod6: fair assessment. i thought the same thing at first, and even had all the libs on our site. then started thinking conversely about it.
mod6: we can change that up. that's easy enough.
asciilifeform: jurov!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mircea_popescu: not like people can't pull them from the source.
asciilifeform: it ate it
asciilifeform: motherfucker
mircea_popescu: think of it as a cache or something.
mod6: sure
asciilifeform: and then i put it in a tarball and signed
asciilifeform: and STILL ATE IT
asciilifeform: jurov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jurov: asciilifeform sigh. it expects a clearsigned text, not just attachments with detached sigs
asciilifeform: i thought signed text can replace body
asciilifeform: (NO I WILL NOT manually trim the line lengths of the compiler barf.)
asciilifeform: and i don't -want- them trimmed
asciilifeform: i want that thing to display as it would from my fucking disk.
jurov: no that's fine, just put short clearsigned comment what are the other attachments about
mod6: fuck
mod6: so i dunno, but this doensn't look right: http://dpaste.com/1HRAZ5V.txt
assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1CyRtai )
mod6: my deb machine was installed in december, but maybe the system wide OpenSSL 1.0.1g was upgraded in feb. The version the system wide gives me is April 7 2014. The xxd output looks like its indicating the one from the system.
mod6: *sigh*
mod6: brb
mircea_popescu: !s devil pay love him
assbot: 2 results for 'devil pay love him' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=devil+pay+love+him
mircea_popescu: mothefucker. the two results lead to... referneces, without actual link, of the original.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform happen to recall original ?

mod6: so if that's not working as expected, I (we) need help getting the makefile in order so that it does this correctly & the auto.sh script if that's part of the problem also.
mod6: obviously, i don't have a clue as to what's going on there.
ben_vulpes: mod6: how does that dpaste indicate the system ssl?
ben_vulpes: i don't know how to read xxd output at all
mod6: 'OpenSSL 1.0.1g 7' << is probably referring to the output seen here: OpenSSL 1.0.1g 7 Apr 2014
mod6: I don't know for sure though.
mod6: alf might know. i bet it's the wrong goddamn one

asciilifeform: ^ finally.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al ^
mod6: asciilifeform: is there a definitive way to check the binary for which SSL is linked in?
asciilifeform: mod6: readelf
asciilifeform: readelf -a bitcoind | grep -i ssl
asciilifeform: but!
asciilifeform: i think this only works for DYNAMIC
asciilifeform: cannot possibly work for static build.
asciilifeform: which is one of the penalties for going static
mod6: did you see my paste?
asciilifeform: the only way to know what's in a static build is a disassembler, a stead hand, a thermos of coffee, and some familiarity with the constituent parts
asciilifeform: *steady hand
mod6: yeah i get nothing from these: root@debian-test:~/release-test/bitcoin-v0_5_3_1/bitcoin/src# readelf -a bitcoind | grep -i ssl
mod6: root@debian-test:~/release-test/bitcoin-v0_5_3_1/bitcoin/src# readelf -a bitcoind | grep -i SSL
asciilifeform: and you won't.
asciilifeform: because - elementarily - static.
asciilifeform: that means it's all ground beef.
mod6: ok got it.
mod6: so need to run in gdb and disassemble.
asciilifeform: try turning debug symbols back on
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> which is one of the penalties for going static << The most important part of a turkey sandwich is the ham
asciilifeform: then might get something from the DWARF data.
mod6: next part here... in your email, it seems that you apply your patch "asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.patch", and this doesnt seem to completely solve it...
mod6: there is another error beyond that one??
asciilifeform: read whole thing plz
asciilifeform: after the words 'Let's try that build again:'
mod6: yeah,it's weird. it seemed to puke on this:
mod6: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl

decimation: ^ openssl failed to build/install
asciilifeform: it built
asciilifeform: this is the static build, remember!
asciilifeform: it built.
asciilifeform: and is exactly where it was supposed to go.
asciilifeform: this is the auto.sh build.
decimation: that's a good point, why is ld complaining
asciilifeform: or hm, no it isn't.
asciilifeform: lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not retarded having a manifest with it dood.
asciilifeform: missed this because the dir was there, and with some contents
asciilifeform: but not the whole thing.
decimation: dynamic libraries are the depressing result of the c-machine's sad attempt to have a global namespace
asciilifeform: decimation has it
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> cannot possibly work for static build. << this.
mircea_popescu: the only reasonable way to go forward at this point would be a) edit the source of the ssl we intend to use to include a magic string ; b) make ; c) strings on the binary.
asciilifeform: or turn debug on.
asciilifeform: then objdump.

mircea_popescu: in general this is the golden pill to defeat "general purpose" poisoned compiler, that auto-pulls the magic diddled dependency : put a x = "hash" in the code, compile, see if it included it.
asciilifeform: note that it died a mostly silent death, buried beneath a torrent of barf from other compiles
asciilifeform: and auto.sh did not notice.

Unfortunately, you cannot statically link libnss, as exactly what providers it loads depends on the local system's configuration.
assbot: c - Create statically-linked binary that uses getaddrinfo? - Stack Overflow ... ( http://bit.ly/1CyYzvl )
decimation: ie it loads 'binary plugins' by design
mircea_popescu: so basically the problem there is that it says it's static but links dynamically ?
decimation: I gather the warning means that it will probably work on the system on which it is built but if you move it to a different system (the binary) you might not be able to resolve dns properly
mircea_popescu: fucking dns.
decimation: yes, the traditional glibc/dns client shit is quite turdly
decimation: but apparently nobody gives a shit, like the open ntp ddos amplifiers
mircea_popescu: which then inspires idiocy in stuff like wordpress. "hey, open ddos amplification is industry standard!!11"
decimation: yes, exactly
BingoBoingo: <decimation> but apparently nobody gives a shit, like the open ntp ddos amplifiers << Software names make this shit weird because there was ntpd which had this problem and openntpd which to my knowledge didn't

BingoBoingo only gave chewing tobacco 3 weeks as a habit before returning to smoked tobacco
asciilifeform: decimation: the patches reliably break, in their turn, other things
decimation: indeed, which require more patches
decimation: this kinda 'works' when you are trying to keep a somewhat frozen baseline
decimation: not so much if you want to add any features
asciilifeform: which is why that human turd jon callas kept going on and on about how 'real security patches, even against user's will, because updates are the most important thing in security'
asciilifeform: this is 'the hole through which the night walks in', to borrow a mircea_popescuism ☟︎
decimation: ^ real security is designed without bugs
asciilifeform: aha.
asciilifeform: and is meta-designed to make this thinkable and practical.

danielpbarron: A problem in Truecrypt is that in some extremely rare circumstances, the Crypto API can fail to properly initialize. When this happens, Truecrypt should barf and catch fire. Instead it silently accepts this failure and continues to generate keys.
nubbins`: ha
mats: For example: the most significant issue in the Truecrypt report is a finding related to the Windows version of Truecrypt's random number generator (RNG), which is responsible for generating the keys that encrypt Truecrypt volumes.
ben_vulpes: <mod6> [14:57] anyway, that's the deal. we need something that we can work with; one supported environment, blessed by alf. << asciilifeform, what's the One True Build Target for La Serenissima?
nubbins`: more like Falsecrypt
nubbins`: gentoo on amd64, but the shit don't work

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 210462 @ 0.00023945 = 50.3951 BTC [-] {2}
nubbins`: gentoo is ostensibly used by alf because it's the sanest. the fact that bitcoind doesn't compile on it doesn't necessarily mean that the OS is the problem, nor does it mean a turd should be adopted as the OTBT
nubbins`: but...
nubbins`: \o/
nubbins`: i don't know nearly enough about gcc to be of much further use atm
nubbins` is good at figuring things out but is currently in position of "doesn't know what questions to ask"
ben_vulpes: tell me about it.
ben_vulpes: anyways, we need a build target. one. not the accidental build target of debian 6 that fell out of my archaeology project.
ben_vulpes: talk about unexamined assumptions...

mod6: <+nubbins`> what *has* 0.5.3.1 worked on so far? debian, darwin, that it? << what's blowing my mind is why i was able to build just fine on aws Gentoo AMI. Unless it was packed full of stuff in there that we don't want to begin with. Which must be the case.
mod6: here's the build log: http://thebitcoin.foundation/gentoo-x86_32-bitcoind-static.txt
assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1P2NE3B )
nubbins`: i know nothing about aws, can you pull an image of that machine down locally?
nubbins`: mod6 ah 32bit
nubbins`: tried 64?
nubbins` has a suspicion that this is somehow related to 32bit vs 64bit libs
mod6: yeah, I believe I did. But I can't find a build log for it.
asciilifeform: <ben_vulpes> what's the One True Build Target for La Serenissima? << why asking -me-, l0l
asciilifeform: what if i said 'posix'
mod6: I also seem to recall, and maybe I should dig for it, someone else built for gentoo before anyone was discussing 32bit.
mod6: like... say.. 3-4 weeks ago when we were testing stuff.
nubbins`: asciilifeform then i'd mention again that i built it on POSIX-compliant os
asciilifeform: general rule is that i should be able to at least obtain the build target using -the compilers i presently have- and a set of sourceballs.
nubbins`: that happens to be made by crapple
asciilifeform: that is, i should not have to download any binaries.
asciilifeform: nor should nubbins`, or ben_vulpes, or the rest.
asciilifeform: <nubbins`> well, alf's not gonna go for anything w/ systemd << damn right
nubbins`: one of the solutions floated for the "no lssl, lcrypto" thing was to download precompiled bins
nubbins`: i lel'd
mod6: asciilifeform: can you make a repeatable build environment for The Foundation to use going forward? Something put together by you, blessed by you, so we're all building/testing/using something that "fits in head"?
nubbins`: "can't untie the knot in your laces? cut em off and apply glue-backed velcro"
asciilifeform: mod6: i suggested this some time near day 1 if anyone recalls
nubbins`: yeah, see !s qemu
asciilifeform: but do folks really want to pass a multigig bag of shit around ?
nubbins`: mod6 in fairness my gentoo was installed using the official docs, and it's reacting precisely the same as alf's
asciilifeform: ^^
mod6: What I was hoping for is maybe a build script. Would that be muti-gig?
nubbins`: "build script" is sorta the install guide :P
asciilifeform: mod6: build script is what we have now
asciilifeform: and see the result.
asciilifeform: no, it would have to be a disk image for an emulated machine
asciilifeform: to be 100% replicable across time and space
asciilifeform: regardless of whether you have a 'pc' or 'elbrus'
nubbins`: mod6 ^
asciilifeform: or hypertrophied nintendo
mod6: Ok, so say that you have installed via offical docs, bla bla bla. Ok, then our release doesn't work. But we need to fix defects, and I refuse to have this happen going forward. So we need something repeatable.
nubbins` has a virtualbox .VDI with gentoo installed
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i'd rather have something that isn't as dependent on pc
asciilifeform: virtualization of pc arch only works on pc arch.
nubbins`: yeah
nubbins`: well.
asciilifeform: try to understand why i am hesitant to put out a binary image for folks to run
mod6: i don't want a binary.
mod6: i want a script that will build all of the "accepted"/"blessed" versions of the things it needs; gcc, etc, etc, etc.
mod6: we have to get to some sort of common ground here.
asciilifeform: mod6: say i publish a recipe for constructing said image (runs on, e.g., qemu-system-mipsel). and then you do it, and we learn that your disk image differs from mine which differs from nubbins` which differs from mircea_popescu's etc
asciilifeform: what then.
asciilifeform: mod6: i want a script that will build all of the "accepted"/"blessed" versions << notice that this is where we were with bitcoind ?
asciilifeform: let's rephrase a bit
mod6: ok. im not sure if we have a way forward on this project. or if there is, I don't know what it is.
asciilifeform: the only -canonical- parent of a given build on my box is my particular hardware plus my particular disk contents
asciilifeform: given that i do not especially feel like publishing the entire contents of my disk, nor could you replicate my machine easily (most of the components are no longer produced) - the next best thing is to somehow create an equivalent
asciilifeform: with, yes, maximally detailed instructions made publi
asciilifeform: c
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 167100 @ 0.00023779 = 39.7347 BTC [-] {2}
asciilifeform: the other non-negotiable requirement is that it be -small-
jurov: can't be some supported-till-2020 distro used for now? gentoo is good, but moving target
asciilifeform: because we -would- have to eventually audit the binaries.
asciilifeform: jurov: 'supported' means what ?
nubbins`: before we dig too deep, is it fair to say that qemu is worth using for hosting dev environment?
nubbins`: leaving aside the question of OS for now
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i have used it for dev work for many years.
nubbins`: ok
asciilifeform: it is a simple enough beast
nubbins`: so maybe we can start there
asciilifeform: there -are- even simpler emulators
asciilifeform: like gxemul
nubbins`: what's the simplest we could get away with?
asciilifeform: these do not focus on any -physical- machine that existed in life
asciilifeform: but a 'textbook' mips plus bitmap graphics

asciilifeform: i use gxemul in cardano work
mod6: i dont want to rely on an emulator if possible. i'd like to have: a URL to an ISO of gentoo that's "acceptable", a script that pulls down tar balls of required tools and builds them
jurov: mhm...how do you ensure you'll hav exact versions of stuff once gentoo moves on?
asciilifeform: mod6: again, iso for what box
mod6: x86_64
nubbins`: uh does gxemul emulate x86?
asciilifeform: if you have physical hardware, you do not control all of the variables
asciilifeform: <nubbins`> uh does gxemul emulate x86? << very much not!
nubbins`: :D
asciilifeform: only a textbook 'ideal' mips cpu that never existed
asciilifeform: but we're cross-compiling anyway
nubbins`: right
asciilifeform: (gcc doesn't care what it runs on)
asciilifeform: all compilation is cross-compilation, really
mod6: ok so we're stuck with using an emulator only.
nubbins`: not stuck
asciilifeform: not stuck. just gives a golden reference
mod6: how does one then build on an emulator then run it on their desktop or vps or w/e?
nubbins`: i wouldn't ascribe "stuck" to having clone-able metal available
asciilifeform: you can still take the code and build elsewhere - if you know how
asciilifeform: mod6: cross compile
asciilifeform: like we now do for 'pogo'
nubbins`: i fear this'll add complexity from the start because you won't know if the cross-compile is failing because it's a cross-compile or because the code's borked
asciilifeform: if the cross-compile is failing because it's a cross-compile << cross-compile is the gold standard for correctness
asciilifeform: why? -- because you know it cannot be using the system's libs
asciilifeform: thinkaboutit
nubbins`: ah, this is correct
asciilifeform: does not make the code smarter, no
nubbins`: cross-compile failing would probably be a canary
asciilifeform: but eliminates several holes-through-which-the-night-walks-in
nubbins`: other pros/cons for qemu vx gxemul?
nubbins`: might as well get em all laid out now
asciilifeform: http://gxemul.sourceforge.net
assbot: GXemul ... ( http://bit.ly/1F6wdHc )
asciilifeform: it has simplified hardware, not copied from any physical machine sold. quite like many similar emulators used in schools
asciilifeform: and mips is a very simple and well-defined cpu arch.
asciilifeform: qemu on the other hand emulates many physical machines
asciilifeform: including i386 and x86_64
asciilifeform: which you can physically get.
asciilifeform: but is a more complex beast
asciilifeform: the third choice, included for completeness, is that we do none of this
asciilifeform: and carry on with our old approach.
asciilifeform: of trying to get to the bottom of why the thing built for some folks
nubbins`: aha
nubbins`: welp
nubbins`: based on this, i think qemu is the third choice
asciilifeform: aha lol
asciilifeform: fourth then.
nubbins`: okay, so.
nubbins`: if anyone reading feels like being tasked
nubbins`: do a run-through (or 10) of getting gxemul set up, and make a guide
nubbins`: i'm assuming the built environments can be swapped around from person to person?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: yes, that's the whole point.
nubbins`: ok

asciilifeform: what's this to do with impregnatron, though
asciilifeform: (or perhaps i can guess what)

asciilifeform: only posited 'room' to allow for the lesbianz to avoid seeing the spooge-supplier

asciilifeform: point

asciilifeform: 'mine is not to question why, mine is but to do and die'
mircea_popescu: oh lol
asciilifeform: assumed that apparatus for delivering fresh spoodge into a lesbian is necessary
asciilifeform: proceeded from there.
mircea_popescu: you can't proceed. "this harness is no good" "Why not ?" "it's yellow. duh."

asciilifeform: as if this did something tangible beyond making it even -less- fit-in-head.
asciilifeform: and even further discouraging genuine audit, as if this were possible or even necessary
mats: i dunno about that second part, but in general i agree with you
asciilifeform: it isn't just 'voodoo taint' from nsa.
asciilifeform doesn't practice voodoo
trinque: this seems to be why openbsd just has chroot, bsd has fancy jails or whatever, and now linux has Containerz (TM)
trinque: just make fucking chroot work

asciilifeform: but overall, folks who unrepentantly spout nonsense about one thing, damage their credibility re: other things.
mircea_popescu: you can't make chroot work

trinque: whysat
mircea_popescu: that's the dirty secret behind 20 years of "linux"

mircea_popescu: because, conceptually, it is nonsense.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually it is the dirty secret behind 40 yrs of unix
asciilifeform: but yes.
mircea_popescu: there's a deep reason permissions don't fucking work
mircea_popescu: that reason is that intelligent people do not wish to spend their time working on idiocy
