mircea_popescu: in other vaguely lulzy news : previous (socialist) argentine government "signed" a treaty with china, allowing them a fancy new "satellite" base in the far south, right next to the pole.
ben_vulpes: well that was a miserable idea
mircea_popescu: the current "we will pay lizardhitler cronies" guy is going to try and renegotiate that thing to add a clause that the base is "not to be used militarily". as if it has any other fucking purpose than ready bombardment of us/canada.
mircea_popescu: none of this is, of course, ever to be reported in the pravda.
mircea_popescu: suffice it to be said that if you're looking for a place to live in case of open hostilities with china (not that there's any likelyhood of that), texas way better than chicago or new york.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Where's your qntra submission on this subject?
ben_vulpes: best of best is to live in incuntsequential hipster holes
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: How do you know the hipster holes won't be cleansed for aesthetics?
pete_dushenski: sort of a lot of expense for the sake of aesthetics
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: How do you judge the cost of making a Deepwater port and fulfilling Teller's dream at the same time? You clease the coastal hipster holes.

assbot: The Beige of Beijing | Standpoint ... ( http://bit.ly/1R5tJ4u )
BingoBoingo: "And the architecture! Never was any city more captivated by the rectangle. As you take off from Beijing airport, clumps of residential developments rise relentlessly into the distance, each cluster often 60 or so high-rises apiece, each high-rise 50 or so stories tall — seeming to reproduce SimCity-style as you watch. They are all drab, they are all the same, they are all hideous. (A student asked after my event whether perhaps
BingoBoingo: I didn't care for Beijing's architecture merely because it was "unfamiliar". I looked at him in astonishment. "Unfamiliar!" I exclaimed. This stuff is all over the world!" And an assault of Bauhaus is hardly Chinese.) Put up in the engineering equivalent of 15 minutes, none of these buildings is made to last — but when I asked my winsome Han tour guide what would happen when they collapsed, she said with cheerful gusto, "We'll
BingoBoingo: build them again!""
BingoBoingo: "The fact that all over Beijing you have to put soiled loo roll in a little basket beside the toilet is telling: the infrastructure is fragile." << Very Rural of them
mircea_popescu: the toilet paper nuttery is endemic in central america also. i always ignored it, to no detriment. sort-of wondering whether there's any more substance to this nonsense than any urban legend. to this day for instance south koreans believe magical asphyxiation rays come out of fans left running while people sleep.
mircea_popescu: the telltale, specific nonsense old women come up with, but particularly successfully rooted.
BingoBoingo: Around here the toilet paper is associated with the very rural people who have fragile septic tank systems.
BingoBoingo: Those of us in town get our flushing (and wire internet) privilege
mircea_popescu: what is a bit of cellulose supposed to do ?
mircea_popescu: it actually decomposes faster than feces.
BingoBoingo: Over time supposedly accumulates. It may break down faster than feces, but it doesn't liquify as fast.
mircea_popescu: you ever tried this experiment ? or how do you know ?
BingoBoingo: The concern isn't actually the tank, but the pipes that run from the tank to the leech field
BingoBoingo: Heard horror stories.
BingoBoingo: Got to enjoy tales of the weirdo bumpkin kids on college campuses who were in the no flushing the toilet paper habit
mircea_popescu: i heard horror stories about jews stealing good german women's sexual mojo, also.
mats: on the subject of Koreans
BingoBoingo: WHo hasn't heard those?
mats: I have heard more than one insist that Confucius was Korean
mircea_popescu: there's this general tendency of shitty countries to entertain this dream that they're really cool.
mircea_popescu: there's a section of romania convinced that this romanian dude invented writing and taught the romans to fuck and egyptians to pyramid.
mats: and that their cultural dress is original, rather than heavily derivative of the fashions from the Tang
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: don't forget the little detail where 'fan death' somehow ... only happens to ethnic koreans!
mircea_popescu: right,
mats: this is what happens when americans prop up a nation of farmers
mircea_popescu: americans ARE a nation fo farmers.
mircea_popescu: most of them, first generation in shoes, actually.
mats: and while I'm venting about Koreans, their food fucking sucks and utterly lacks any kind of nuance
asciilifeform: mats: tell this to nubbins', iirc he is eating kimchi still, many years after his tour of duty
mats: the only thing the world knows about .kr food is Korean BBQ and kimchi
mats: think about that for a second
asciilifeform: forgot dogs
BingoBoingo is disappoint that other people discovered beef tongue is delicious and it is priced locally on par with other actual foods that don't suck
mats: my grandfather ate dog during the famine, no shame in that
asciilifeform: not in famine, but as standard butcher shop fare
mats: also swapped an infant son with a friend's, and ate that too ☟︎
asciilifeform: mmm
mats: welcome to hell

mircea_popescu: #b-a, the driving force behind internet security phenomena. since 2016.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo incidentally, this should be qntra'd asap.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: ALready started
asciilifeform: 'The glibc DNS client side resolver is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow when the getaddrinfo() library function is used. Software using this function may be exploited with attacker-controlled domain names, attacker-controlled DNS servers, or through a man-in-the-middle attack.' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: see if stackexchange burial team is at battlestations or not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform should be pretty lulzy to read the "never happened and if it did we did it first nayway" verbiage.
asciilifeform: naturally.
asciilifeform: at this point i would be greatly surprised to see anything else.

mircea_popescu: totally, thank the people who put the hole in, it's because of their "hard work" that you have a hole to burn.
mircea_popescu: asshats.
punkman: " The code that causes the vulnerability was introduced in May 2008 as part of glibc 2.9."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that never was the unclear part. didja have a replacement was the unclear part.
asciilifeform: the replacement is manual loading of tarballs from wherever onto the build box.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
asciilifeform: a la pgp.

assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 15:13:09; asciilifeform: in principle, i like the lightweight, pedigreed, and 'hackable on' bsd family, e.g., netbsd. but imho openbsd is something that probably needs to be helped die
asciilifeform: felipelalli: try reading the thread ?
trinque: I read it, did not find it conclusive.
felipelalli: trinque, the same
mircea_popescu: but ask better question than "why do you think so"
asciilifeform: !s openbsd dbus
assbot: 5 results for 'openbsd dbus' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=openbsd+dbus
trinque: so you don't like ports
mircea_popescu: in general - if the question you are about to ask could come out of a psychanalist, do yourself the favour and save yourself the wrath. ☟︎
trinque: this is distinct from talking about openbsd
asciilifeform: trinque: SO THE MOTHERFUCKING OS IS UNUSABLE
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 29400 @ 0.00055953 = 16.4502 BTC [-]
trinque: this is absurd
asciilifeform: there is no openbsd sans the ports.
trinque: horse shit; I've built all manner of things myself
asciilifeform: as have i.
asciilifeform: a torn out kernel is not 'openbsd', it is bsd.
asciilifeform: the thing is an ensemble, like gentoo
asciilifeform: and normally used as such.
trinque: do you have a particular vintage of linux kernel you prefer?
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: alf hates the OpenBSD ports turdage which has lots of shitgnomery and the occasional userland shitgnomery
asciilifeform: trinque: vintage is not the right word
trinque: because from where I sit the most recent ones have an obscene amount of "features" bolted on which I do not use
asciilifeform: i have a number of kernels painfully prepared for different boxes
asciilifeform: that are quite entirely different
mircea_popescu: bespokeos
asciilifeform: and each took some days of manual sewing, to produce
asciilifeform: and i imagine most folks here have - same.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> there is no openbsd sans the ports. << The userland is enough for a webserver/firewall/etc box
felipelalli: At least they really care about security. I tried to compile Bitcoin Core in OpenBSD once but I couldn't (in a quick & dirt attempt).
trinque: ^ that much is true, and something I quite like
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: understand, if i can't build and run emacs and its dependencies, the os is fit for 'bury in concrete' only - e.g., router
asciilifeform: and quite likely not even this
asciilifeform: because whatever prevents a sane emacs build, is likely to interfere with other work
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But for many purposes that's all box needs to do. Emacs up the text somewhere else.
asciilifeform: in the case of openbsd, it is that virtually all of the major ports pull in dbus.
trinque: I can agree readily that's a sin
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it is flagrantly unfit for battleship
BingoBoingo: Battle ship and frigate are different boats.
asciilifeform: and in fact its mere inclusion of dbus spoils the entire nominal flavour of 'sane and security-oriented'
trinque: it is whether linux is fit(ter) that I question.
felipelalli: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-02-2016#1406979 << lol mircea! ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 16-02-2016 16:30:16; mircea_popescu: in general - if the question you are about to ask could come out of a psychanalist, do yourself the favour and save yourself the wrath.
asciilifeform: it is a rat-sized cockroach in a fine restaurant.
asciilifeform: right on my plate.
BingoBoingo: But anyways the enemy here is m:tier specifically
trinque: it causes me to seriously consider producing a ports tree of my own
asciilifeform: trinque: linux (at least a reasonably well-cultivated linux) is ispo facto 'fitter' on account of having the ability to build emacs sans dbus.
asciilifeform: understand, this is NOT negotiable.
trinque: I run without dbus as well, and understand fully why this is a Good Thing
asciilifeform: i was unable even to build most logging demons from ports
asciilifeform: because dbus.
asciilifeform: now the other thing about openbsd is the incident with theo and that microshit flunkie ☟︎
asciilifeform: the one who approved spitting in mircea_popescu's face after the donation.
asciilifeform: and the one who presides over the 'hackathon' vermin while theo (who is afflicted with some peculiar stockholm syndrome) starves in a garret
mircea_popescu: i would say that openbsd pre 2014 and openbsd post 2014 are entirely unrelated entities.
asciilifeform: this is abundantly clear
mircea_popescu: the tenuous thread of theo's own person is not enough to keep this shit together, because he's too jwz-ish to engage the more important half - politics.
mircea_popescu: so in this sense... lizzards got petrified, moved in, stole it.
mircea_popescu: at least that's my interpretation of events.
BingoBoingo: ALso possible, Theo's wrath bit is losing sensistivity as he ages
asciilifeform: the more interesting question is how they managed to steal it without buying theo
trinque: I can see all this, yet meanwhile linux has hypervisors and keychains and complex abstractions around "namespaces" and "containers" and ...
BingoBoingo: They stole theo's inner circle.
asciilifeform: and the answer likely involves him having been surrounded by quislings for ~years~
asciilifeform: trinque: they are removable
BingoBoingo: Likely starting with the Bob Beck fellow
asciilifeform: this is key.
trinque: asciilifeform: yes, but did they not affect decisions elsewhere in the kernel?
asciilifeform: trinque: certainly
trinque: I have spent countless hours pruning a kernel config
asciilifeform: but there is not ~yet~ a linux kernel equivalent of dbus cancer
asciilifeform: though the systemd folks are working day and night, for this.
trinque: asciilifeform: were the dbusified ports tree otherwise, would that change your assessment of obsd?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> the more interesting question is how they managed to steal it without buying theo << this is deeply uninteresting, as it's well documented. see for instance http://trilema.com/2016/the-womans-fault/#selection-89.0-89.179
assbot: The woman's fault on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1RJSkhr )
asciilifeform: trinque: i have nfi what ~else~ is systematically broken
mircea_popescu: the current crop of bois have all the patriotism of a wet noodle.
asciilifeform: only got as far as dbus.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unfortunately the highlight thing displays ~nowhere~ i've tried it on.
asciilifeform: not even crapple!
mircea_popescu: darn.
mircea_popescu: "the young man's father, a smart fellow who has bought hook line and sinker into the theory that satisfying the desires of women is more important than satisfying the needs of men."
asciilifeform: what do i need, to excatate ie6 ?!
asciilifeform: *excavate
mircea_popescu: it similarly works on everything i try, so i dunno. tis sad tho.
mircea_popescu: i really liked the indicating.
asciilifeform: possibly the folks for whom it works, should chime in ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: re: what browser etc.
asciilifeform: but i still don't get (am i thick?) the point about 'the patriotism' of 'the bois'
mircea_popescu: so ask a q.
asciilifeform: what in this case means patriotism ? who are the bois ?
asciilifeform: where do i even begin
mircea_popescu: the boi, in this case, is theo de radt, but he's not so dissimilar from any other esl speaker.
mircea_popescu: patriotism, in this case, is a willingness to die to defend your territory, as you define it - NOT as some woman defines it.
asciilifeform: waitasec i thought he was from za ?!!
asciilifeform: esL?
mircea_popescu: a fine example in this vein would be the case of a late night trip, during which a drunk hobo on the street started growling, and a random, accountant-looking bypasser yelled him down.
mircea_popescu: esl - english as a single language.
asciilifeform: yeah but is he ?
mircea_popescu: apparently.
asciilifeform did not know this.
mircea_popescu: people can have french loess without being ethnically french. it's a mental illness, not anything else.
asciilifeform: loess?
trinque: the state is the ultimate owner of all property, so they told the bois. how then could anyone possibly have territory?
mircea_popescu: tough.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform now think about it : would random usian engage hobo on the grounds that "fuck you, be quiet, you're living on MY street" on the simple grounds of ~having been passing by there~ ?
mircea_popescu: this is patriotism, in perhaps an extreme degree. ☟︎
asciilifeform: can hardly picture this.
asciilifeform: maybe in 1900.
mircea_popescu: "it's my fucking street, because i am walking on it, and if you wish to be here, you'll play by my rules, all of them, right now"
mircea_popescu: obviously this makes it difficult to office drone.
asciilifeform: it is not only that 'office drone' has no knife and never swung a fist in his life and etc. as mircea_popescu probably imagines. though all of this is true. it is ALSO that the street is NOT HIS
asciilifeform: it is... a hotel.
mircea_popescu: quite.
asciilifeform: 'where is the man who will die for a hotel?'
mircea_popescu: which has its advantages.
mircea_popescu: and... its disadvantages
asciilifeform: i've lived in usa since '92. it remains, to me, a hotel.
asciilifeform: and not the swankiest possible hotel, either.
mircea_popescu: (i am not, as it may appear on the strength of the rarity of such arcane knowledge, proposing that this is some sort of better or ideal solution. it is merely different. lettuce not fall into 1900s orientalism over here.)
asciilifeform: just a 'roach motel.'
mircea_popescu: well... so now you see why exactly i say patriotism. who the fuck dies to defend... 8ball motels ?
asciilifeform: only an idiot
asciilifeform: or, perhaps, owner
mircea_popescu: yeah. meanwhile, as far as usable software is concerned, ownership is both an absolute bar to shitgnomery and as near as i can determine the only workable basis.
mircea_popescu: and so here we are.
mircea_popescu: contrary to what the kids [like to {pretend like they're}] think{ing}, coding ability is a relatively unimportant consideration. political ability, in the very simple sense of a mental capacity for ownership, is the larger half.
asciilifeform: who needs engine, when you have wheels!
asciilifeform: l0l
asciilifeform: but elementarily, 'coding ability' as a concept is a lie
asciilifeform: the interesting variable here is the ability to ~select problems~
mircea_popescu: myeah.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 35100 @ 0.00056339 = 19.775 BTC [+] {2}
asciilifeform: (rather than what is normally presented as 'coding ability' in idiot industry, this being - quickly and accurately solving the non-problems posed by non-people)
mircea_popescu: so there you go.
trinque understands better (he thinks) the "keep it" in "a republic, if you can keep it", and also the absurdity of to whom that was supposedly addressed
mircea_popescu: aha.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> mircea_popescu ? <<< you know, if you ask obama what exactly is his contribution past blind tom wiggins he'll also say "important security fixes". it is somehow inadherent to the common mentality of usians to flatly admit "nothing really - i'm just a nigger slave singing for massah, nothing changed in two centuries."
mircea_popescu: so they gotta pretend there's this mystical reservoir of metaphysics that'll readily provide differentiation qs.
asciilifeform: suspected as much.
punkman: did the power rangers ever find a remote code execution vuln?
asciilifeform: punkman: ~created~ plenty
mircea_popescu: we found them, then "they found them first".
asciilifeform: gotta understand how 'finding vulns' actually works.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller luke-jr also claimed bfl delivered his order. then it turned out it was a "prototype" and outright payola.
asciilifeform: generally it is a process resembling apiculture. no one individually orders a bee to pollinate a particular plant. bees - are introduced, do their thing. likewise dreppers.
mircea_popescu: he's a well known liar, next you're going to what, tell me what karpeles said ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: <shinohai> "The developers of that software put out a bounty to murder one of the developers of Bitcoin Core.

shinohai: For an extra 1 BTC we could erase MAxwell too!

asciilifeform: handy kill.
phf: "important fixes" is the equivalent of "here be dragons" from medieval cartography
mircea_popescu: more like the equivalent of "domestic bliss" from the lulzy institution of singles-marriage.
mircea_popescu: that enchanted thing that never existed except in retrospect, when some derp is complaining to the judge that someone else "ruined it".
mircea_popescu: except if it were actually present, no "ruining" would have been possible
asciilifeform: incidentally i see no reason why any trb node ought to allow a tx (mempool, vs in-block) to consume more cpu time than it took to receive from the nic.
asciilifeform: as per the 'nobody gets jack shit just for showing up' law.
asciilifeform: ultimately, there are precisely two kinds of possible bitcoin node:
asciilifeform: 1) the kind that processes ALL INPUTS at LINE SPEED

ben_vulpes: punkman: pretty hilarious
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: yandere?
danielpbarron: a bot randomly assigns roles to anyone who wants to play, at least one of which is a murder guy called the 'yandere'
danielpbarron: the good guys have to figure out who he is over the course of days and nights. The yandere can optionally kill people at night
punkman: also known as "werewolf" or "mafia"
danielpbarron: there's lots of similar games; I prefer one called "The Resistance"
danielpbarron: where there are opponents of an oppresive distopian government as good guys, and goverment agent spies as bad guys trying to sabotage the missions

After the initial CVE for shell shock, several people proposed different ways of fixing it. Florian was one, he quickly worked on it and released a proposed patch. Over the next few days there were three MORE CVEs for shell shock, covering different variations on the same theme. Florian's initial patch covered all of t
mircea_popescu: hem, including the ones that hadn't been fully characterized when he proposed it. His approach was approved by general consensus and that's what we all use today - partly because he put in the time and effort to fix the broader issue, not just the specific case that had been identified. This approach means that sometimes it takes Red Hat a while to release a fix, but when they do, it's the right fix."

mircea_popescu: (george costanza's famous "Ear puberty, nose puberty, knuckle puberty. You gotta be vigilant!" is quite a fine example in that vein.
asciilifeform: even with this,
asciilifeform: more effective number diddler ought to give stronger illusion of control ?
mircea_popescu: not really, the control isn't over the interaction of numbers. the control is over the possibilities of existence.
mircea_popescu: the more powerful the tool actually is, the more it exposes possibilities, necessarily. and perversely, the more threatening it is to the typical she-office drone.
mircea_popescu: note the acceptance of computers in society as an exact mirror of the use of windows and apple. it's a thing.

asciilifeform: i haven't a good why. why won't mircea_popescu do short chicks ?
asciilifeform: goats ?
asciilifeform: chickens ?
mircea_popescu: i confess i actually did a chick that was short and otherwise built entirely like a 12 boy. well, minus the penis, but boobs as big as mine et al.
mircea_popescu: so... don't laugh at the goat, you never know when you'll be riding one.

asciilifeform: and how anyone lives with this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let me ask you this, would you prefer a bricked phone to a phone that randomly starts beeping and running interference with your display ?
asciilifeform: i imagine this is how castration cults are born.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: brick.
mircea_popescu: so there's your explanation.
mircea_popescu: "at least the stupid one shuts up."|
asciilifeform: does it ?!
mircea_popescu: yeah. stupid people are never given enough credit. they're broadly speaking pliable, reliable and altogether pleasant.
asciilifeform: in my experience, stupid more or less == 'won't shut up without physical gag'
mircea_popescu: it's mediocre people that have been miseducated that are unbearable.
mircea_popescu: nfwis.
