hanbot: trinque have libc6-dev, no idea if that's sufficient for ref imp building purposes. build-essential doesn't seem to have any explicit reference to static flavoring either.
hanbot: if glibc on its own is insufficent tho, i have little faith libc6-dev without the -static moniker would work

ben_vulpes: defensive bash programming
ben_vulpes: i'm down to a single finger and i intend to kepe it
mod6: gernika: you just restarted it and then it it verified the sig?
gernika: mod6 I set a new (empty) datadir and started over.
mod6: we saw stuff like that before with the 168`001 Verify Signature fail too. most of the time it failed for us... the three of us who were independantly testing it. But sometimes, it'd pass. Maybe 30% of the time. I was pulling my hair out. ☟︎
mod6: any idea what block number it was? or txid?
gernika: I have the last block
gernika: Not sure how to get the txid
mod6: do you hvae the log?

trinque: er yeah, 275
trinque: mistyped
mod6: it didn't barf on 124`275
punkman: trinque: yeah I think I got stuck at the same block using some other openssl version
trinque: mod6: right, that was the last that worked
mod6: it barfs on tx fb0a1d8d34fa5537e461ac384bac761125e1bfa7fec286fa72511240fa66864d in block 124`276 ☟︎
trinque: I can try a few other libressl versions later tonight, I think
punkman: trinque, you could recompile and make it skip that one, find the next weird one
mod6: for us we thought that the 168`001 verify signature issue at first was due to the fact that 168`000 is the last checkpoint. but totally unrelated. threw us off for a bit though.
trinque: I ran with verifyall btw
mod6: that's good.
punkman: hmm, so what's special about this one I wonder, http://blockexplorer.com/rawtx/fb0a1d8d34fa5537e461ac384bac761125e1bfa7fec286fa72511240fa66864d

hanbot: so .deb package checked against .rpm file list shows libc_stubs.a missing, the other eleven are present. debian says no .deb packages contain this guy. i'm assuming i need it. auto.sh still errorful after grabbing everything else here http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-07-2015#1209888 (errorflurry: http://dpaste.com/26ZEG17 ). doesn't look like that missing library has anything to do with it, but prolly problematic down the line? ☝︎☟︎

mod6: This goes for all: If you get wedged for some reason while running the R.I. please stop in and ask right away. Back up the debug.log for us too plz.

mod6: hmm. alright.
mod6: well, if you see it again, let us know. thanks!
trinque: hanbot: explosions suggest you are missing (or it can't find) boost openssl and db
mod6: punkman: good find
trinque: hanbot: it may be helpful to change the script at the top, where it says /bin/sh, changing to /bin/sh -e
trinque: it will then at least bail out at the first error, will otherwise happily derp past errors to the next command
mod6: if you need to check that you have indeed statically linked in openssl 1.0.1g into your binary, you can do this: hexdump -C bitcoind | grep "1.0.1g"

asciilifeform: Alza la bandera revolucionaria...
mircea_popescu: it failed when che tried it abroad, and humiliatingly. it failed in castro's hands, at home.
mircea_popescu: it failed in moscow as it failed in beijing - the successors are today more capitalist than hamilton, and for good reason.
asciilifeform: eh that's sorta like saying that 'forest fire failed' - because there are still, somewhere, trees.
mircea_popescu: socialism is still the doctrine of unadorned stupid, and it's still this in large things as it is this in small things - be it revolution or your daily dealings. stupid stays stupid.
asciilifeform admires the audacity and virility of che et al separately from the peculiar follies of 20th c. mega-empires
mircea_popescu: sure.
asciilifeform: the 'blade of grass in the concrete'
mircea_popescu: who'd women fuck screamingly is a good proxy for quality

asciilifeform: che - no.
asciilifeform: grass.
BingoBoingo was kinda sad when mega fire did not hit during mega drought year of 2012 here. Would have been good for the Morels.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but the virility, audacity etc aside, and the guy's very seductive smile aside - he wasn't very intelligent.
mircea_popescu: this is a problem. and, much more importantly - he failed. he failed uniformly, predictably, throughout. hard to see past this.
asciilifeform: the intelligent are sitting in some cellar, cranking out nth numerical approximations to schrodinger's eq. for system of five atoms.
asciilifeform: not cutting throats

mircea_popescu: this is all fine, but there's a bridge between "my cunt itches" and "i'm married now"
mircea_popescu: is there even ?
trinque: hahaha
asciilifeform: very easy to 'give less of a shit about govt' all the way until you find yourself trying the 'be tribal' thing in a usg death camp.
mircea_popescu: see ? not so fun for the stupid. "true freedom" comes from a neglect of consequences.
trinque: I figure I'll keep educating myself and getting ahead, and see what happens in a decade.
phf: i move few blocks away from where they burned down MOVE compound. though those guys were genuinely .. not quite there
mircea_popescu: whosoever can not do this is stuck being a bureaucrat not a revolutionary, no mattert the context.

asciilifeform: actual revolution means that 25 y.o. schmuck can transform to commander with personal death authority over ten thousand.

mircea_popescu: authority, sure.
asciilifeform: this is appealing for perfectly reasonable, if not practical, reasons.
mircea_popescu: random derp who inherits a wall street firm, also authority.
asciilifeform: random derp 'chose parents carefully'
mircea_popescu: which brings us right back to, "what do you wish to say, anyway"

mircea_popescu: aite.
mircea_popescu is all ears.
asciilifeform: re: what is appealing about violent upheavals
asciilifeform: for the 'armchair general'
mircea_popescu: ah, that's plainly obvious. they;'re appealing like rape is appealing. their bloody violence is sexually satisfying.
decimation: it's appeal to Napoleon to finally rule the world
asciilifeform: the idea of biodieseling the sclerotic aristos and their imbecile offspring is appealing to healthy folks, imho
trinque: doesn't my being embedded in the world necessitate being concerned with its state?
trinque: if I care about myself in the slightest?
asciilifeform: for the same reason why pink prime gurlflesh is more appealing than the circus horrors BingoBoingo linked
decimation: asciilifeform: the thing tends to feed itself. the new army officer's position depends on the old officers being exiled, thus they are married to the adventure
trinque: asciilifeform: everyone likes when a shithead gets his; is laughter for anything else?
asciilifeform: is it better to be married to a desk ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so you see it's sexual.
mircea_popescu: trinque it doesn't follow you should give a shit about yourself ; it doesnt follow even admitting that the world is of interest.
asciilifeform: in more or less the same sense that all other vigorous and healthy activity is sexual
decimation: well, desk isn't as exciting, if safer
trinque: mircea_popescu: who says should, I do
mircea_popescu: ah, sure then.
phf: i guess if your life is dull, might be better to be limonov. so it's a wish fulfillment, i.e. "when the zombies come i'll be the badass survivalist guy". i'm still not sure why byron did it though
mircea_popescu: normally "necessitate" is a hidden should.
decimation: plus, maybe if the 25 year old is Napoleon you can get rich on some awesome loot
mircea_popescu: phf why byron "did it" = had a bunch of chlorotic virgins say stupid shit about him ?
trinque brb
phf: heh, fair
mircea_popescu: decimation sure, rich like the chiabur.

mircea_popescu: entirely up to you, this.
asciilifeform: that's a new one to me
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do you think el dorado was ?
asciilifeform: a treasure hunt ?
mircea_popescu: revolution for people who couldn't afford to fight the king.
mircea_popescu: what else.
decimation: asciilifeform: lol 'get rich' is almost immediately what the revolution turns into
asciilifeform: well yes.
mircea_popescu: well so then.
asciilifeform: and in many ways, that time's 'silicon valley'
decimation: once they gain power and can't figure out what else to do
asciilifeform: considering the grantsmanship that went into el doradoism
mircea_popescu: decimation no buyt see, it's an important problem. "so you're on the stage, alright now - what do you say ?"
asciilifeform: one more or less had to scam a king to play
mircea_popescu: "everyone should walk funny from now on" ?
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah absolutely I see that
decimation: especially since 99.999% of 25 year olds are not napoleon
mircea_popescu: you're moses, up on the mountain, you're smith with his fucking stupid hat and the even more stupid but full of themselves early americans
mircea_popescu: what do you sya ?
asciilifeform: you say things like: 'you - spread yer legs.' 'you - spat on my father. spread your arse cheeks for sharpened telephone pole.' etc.
mircea_popescu: "ummir and fuckthir" ? why ?
mircea_popescu: with a straight face ? seriously ?

mircea_popescu: what do you tell it to do!
asciilifeform: the mega-appeal of revolution is, just as limonov summarized, it is a chance to trade in guaranteed-die-behind-desk for die-with-sporting-chance
mircea_popescu: sure.
decimation: invade italy; get rich, become emporer
mircea_popescu: but, provided you don't actually die. what. do. you. do.

mircea_popescu: "As a result, their 0day providers tended to be small and unestablished. Some established exploit vendors, like VUPEN and COSEINC, did offer to sell Hacking Team exploits, but they were predominantly overpriced, second-rate, and not even 0day. As a result, Hacking Team was seriously exploit supply constrained because they had difficulty finding suppliers that they deemed reliable and reasonably priced. Their competitor
mircea_popescu: s, like Gamma International and NSO Group, prominently advertised their 0day capabilities, forcing Hacking Team to be defensive with prospective customers."

mircea_popescu: "Exploit portfolios: VBI regularly sent portfolio updates to its customers. Though they were encrypted, Hacking Team's habit of forwarding encrypted messages unencrypted means that many of them are accessible. "

mircea_popescu: "Fuzzer results: Though Rosario's fuzzers found numerous crashing test cases, like most fuzzer outputs few of them appeared exploitable. One of the first crashes that looked exploitable was an IE10 memory corruption that was patched within a week of its discovery. Soon after, Rosario found a Firefox crash that looked exploitable but only appeared to occur under memory pressure. Despite months of analysis, Hacking Team
mircea_popescu: was unable to turn this into a working exploit. It was discovered in October of 2013 and VUPEN used the same bug to win Pwn2Own in May of 2014."
mircea_popescu: geniuses over there.
mircea_popescu: i would say Vlad Tsyrklevich thoroughly vindicates my side in the original discussio re these schmucks.

mircea_popescu: too bad for him, he put all this effort into writing a neat article in the hopes of maybe impressing people, he's almost there and then he shoots his sale in the head with stupid associations like that.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's the fate of the aspiring 14% to never know what actually sunk their decade of effort.

mircea_popescu: "Though these are separate cases, some of the individuals are linked. A principal in the alleged securities-fraud scheme is a business associate of one of those charged in the Florida bitcoin operation, a friendship dating back more than a decade to their days at Florida State University.
mircea_popescu: The two are also identified in a previously unreported FBI memo that connects them to the investigation of the hack of JPMorgan as well as to incidents at Fidelity Investments Ltd. and E*Trade Financial Corp. JPMorgan officials argued initially that one of the largest U.S. bank hacks in history was the work of the Russian government."
mircea_popescu: herp. fancy this : governments currently confuse individuals for governments now.
mircea_popescu: " In June, JPMorgan reassigned Chief Information Security Officer Greg Rattray amid staff discord over his handling of the breach. Rattray and his boss, Jim Cummings, a former head of the U.S. Air Force’s cyber-combat unit, were the chief advocates of the theory that the Russian government was involved in the breach"

Among the addresses Universal demanded Google sanction was 127.0.0.1 which is the IP address a computer reserves for communicating with itself. This means that not only was Universal seeding its own film to pirates, it was like

mircea_popescu: epic lol of all time.
mircea_popescu: of course, this looks a lot more like someone not knowing their way around a netstat dump than a legitimate thing. because i don't imagine torrents work so that a computer ever advertises itself as localhost.
mircea_popescu: they'd have seen it as whatever its ip actually were, if actually seeding.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bingoboingo "Yet, in the situation where the very fabric and reliability of the Internet at large is threatened it is no one prerogative care that they are offering on open Denial of Service attack amplifier on their connection." i think you accidentally a verb.
