lobbes: Archive PSA: Semi-automatic archiving has resumed via my "manual" pulling of the crank at irregular intervals as a temporary "stop gap" solution. Fully automatic archiving to resume once I plug my security holes and build a sane parser for urls [00:17]
mircea_popescu: lol so in the end ns1/ns2.qntra.net are the pizarro nameservers ? [00:18]
mircea_popescu: also perhaps of some interest : http://gustaf.thorslund.org/src/allegra/doc/allegra.html (ada irc bot uses postrgres-ada) [00:30]
mircea_popescu: ^ rfc. [08:29]
mircea_popescu: ah i guess that didn't get logged. here : [08:30]
mircea_popescu: * mircea_popescu has changed the topic to: You have reached the public forum of The Most Serene Republic, a terrorist organisation dedicated to the creation of a safe space for the elites to productively defect to, leaving the pantsuit stranded behind. If you'd like to help see http://trilema.com/2016/how-to-participate-in-the-affairs-of-the-most-serene-republic/ . This channel is logged. [08:30]

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is yer blog down ? [09:46]
BingoBoingo: It appears to be. Looking into it [09:46]
BingoBoingo: Aite, it is finding its way back [09:58]
asciilifeform: in other lulz, 3 nukefest publicalert tests within 1 hr in washingtonistan [10:33]
mircea_popescu: aww [10:34]
asciilifeform: ( they show up via pnoje ) [10:34]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty great new subjline imho [10:35]
mircea_popescu: cool deal [10:35]
lobbes: Incidentally, anyone remember the term "freedom fighter"? I.e. "terrorist that is aligned with the Empire". Almost never heard in Incan media anymore it seems [10:58]
mircea_popescu: by now too dangerous. [11:03]
mircea_popescu: back in the 90s inca had a brief momentary delusion of security, in the vein of http://trilema.com/2016/consumerism-is-not-the-answer-though-it-will-put-you-to-sleep-or-american-history-x/ [11:04]
asciilifeform: lobbes: got replaced in the Official fishwraps with 'moderate rebels' (tm)(r) [11:08]
mircea_popescu: the moderate rebels of syria, shooting rockets at the elected government. an' the moderate rebels of ukraina, shooting rockets at civillian airplanes. [11:11]
mircea_popescu: btw asciilifeform ever rotaku'd http://trilema.com/2012/afaceri-particulare/ ? stumbled on it earlier it's fucking hysterical. [11:15]
* asciilifeform reads.. [11:40]
lobbes: Ah yes, "moderate rebels". Man, it'd be lulzy to have a timeline of various fishwrap lifecycles. E.g. "hole in ozone layer" > "global warming" > "climate change" [11:41]

ben_vulpes: douchebag: oh candi_lustt is eminently poppable btw, wonder if you can figure out how to [12:28]
ben_vulpes: don't want to distract you from your trinquechores tho [12:28]
trinque: ty ben_vulpes [12:30]
ben_vulpes: and yourself sir [12:30]
* trinque wonders if douchebag realizes what useful work it'd be, to know how easily trb nodes can be popped, given that the wallet will of course have to be sitting right there, with same permissions, on same box, and etc [12:31]
trinque: (and obviously, ~I do not use the trb wallet~) [12:31]
ave1: asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793119, with this script http://ave1.org/2018/building-gnat-on-musl-now-with-a-signature/ it is possible to build a cross compiler for aarch64, I will try to use this cross-compiler to then create a native compiler. [12:32]
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 03:17 asciilifeform: but annoying that nobody seems to have ever published one or mentioned the existence. [12:32]
asciilifeform: ave1: i did one for mips ( never properly tested tho ) a few yrs back [12:33]
asciilifeform: ave1: the surprising bit is the total absence of any mention of a working gnat for arm64 ( despite it being a quite common chip for several yrs ) [12:33]
asciilifeform: trinque: theoretically 'every private has a marshal's baton in his knapsack', but realistically it is not esp. likely that 'popping trb' had to wait for this 1 d00d to turn 19 or what he was. [12:36]
asciilifeform: considering the very tangible win from any such thing, going back years [12:36]
trinque: eh [12:36]
trinque: we stopped on a perfect copy of openssl did we? [12:37]
asciilifeform: 'not remotely poppable' != 'perfect' [12:37]
asciilifeform: fwiw it dun hurt to try. ftr, asciilifeform's orig interest in reading the src, long before even running into mircea_popescu et al , was precisely this. [12:39]
asciilifeform: !!up diana_coman_away [12:45]
deedbot: diana_coman_away voiced for 30 minutes. [12:45]
diana_coman_away: thanks! slowly eating logs here [12:46]
ave1: asciilifeform, I can only find gnats for ubuntu/debian and alpine linux. Also GNAT pro seems to support arm64. [12:52]
ave1: btw, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-04#1792937, how do you notice something like that? [12:57]
a111: Logged on 2018-04-04 19:52 asciilifeform: meanwhile on the chinesium front, asciilifeform was pretty close to throwing out the 'rockchip' this morn., when saw that every few hrs it read-retries the sd flash. but apparently harmless eggog: comes from certain sad levelling firmwares , they cannot keep up with the host [12:57]
asciilifeform: ave1: it went into /var/log/messages [12:58]
asciilifeform: or do i misunderstand the q [12:58]
asciilifeform: ave1: we had just the other day a thread re 'gnat pro'. it's interesting, in principle, but i sure as fucking daylight ain't ever signing nonredistribution oaths for a compiler [13:01]
ave1: aha, I was wondering weather you noticed some led blinking, but log would do it [13:09]
ave1: yes, me neither [13:09]
asciilifeform: ave1: nah , no led. log noise. and documented, apparently, issue , with some brands of sd, going back years [13:12]
asciilifeform: appears to be harmless, the retry-read always succeeds [13:12]
asciilifeform: at any rate, rockchip pilot-plant boxen will boot from sd and mount usb3 stick for root partition. [13:16]
asciilifeform: ave1: unrelatedly, iirc you're the one who was lucky winner of 1 phree FG ? didja get it yet ? [13:23]
ave1: yes I was! and no nothing arrived yet... [13:32]
asciilifeform: went out on mar. the 22. [13:32]
ave1: well shipping from US has taken anything from 1 to 4 weeks in the past [13:34]
asciilifeform: ave1: then too soon to say that it was magicked away [13:55]
trinque: asciilifeform: in general you're probably right, though in general not most are persistent enough to join the republic. [14:40]
trinque: gotta give the guy worthwhile targets to see [14:40]
trinque: ftr if the report is "trb's deps are not susceptible to any known RCE" that'd be a fine thing to see written up too [14:40]
ben_vulpes: today's marvelous self-licking ice-cream-cone: surgeon general suggests that everyone near to folks at risk for overdosing on fentanyl and friends carry naxalone. i for one can't wait to see what the new equilibrium intake rate is without mortality risk looming. [14:40]
trinque: and obviously that wouldn't be reason to develop a false sense of security either. [14:41]
ben_vulpes: "audits can only show presence of holes, never the absence" or how did it go [14:41]
asciilifeform: ^ [14:41]
trinque: rce isn't the only thing that'd be interesting, even cpu bog-down or mem usage DoS would be relevant to staying at the front of the chain. [14:45]
asciilifeform: it is a little bit funny to talk of bogdown and dos 'vulnerability' in a proggy that happily does o(n) operations at the request of allcomers [14:46]
asciilifeform: not to mention lets any and all-comers hog sockets for as long as they can come up with fresh ip [14:46]
asciilifeform: happily does ~by design~ [14:47]
trinque: AIDS patient doesn't ignore fungus because AIDS, but on the contrary [14:48]
trinque: its also homework. [14:48]
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, trinque , ever looked into purging sslism from gentoo ? in particular the existence of /etc/ca-certificates.conf and its contents as a ~mandatory package, i find quite irritating [14:59]
asciilifeform: ( or at the very least, if not purged, every proggy that attempts to lean on usg.pki-ism should generate a log event ) [15:01]
trinque: just gotta mask it and weep, and kiss whatever wanted it goodbye [15:01]
* trinque is on a box currently that's musl + libressl, but I don't know that it's much better [15:02]
asciilifeform: whole pkiism concept is deeply offensive from a republican pov. [15:02]
trinque: indeed it is [15:02]
trinque: -ssl hits some, other ebuilds (and this happens more by the day, on various) don't implement the use flag. "what, of course you want that!" [15:03]
asciilifeform: i can see an argument for retaining an ability to emulate a sslistic client, for http-fetching heathenware when absolutely must . but beyond this -- it Must Die [15:04]
* trinque has considered using the portage profile feature for this [15:04]
asciilifeform: in particular this thought in asciilifeform's head sprung from noticing a CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK='/etc/gentoo-release /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/ca-certificates.conf' in the default environment [15:05]
trinque: have a fascist profile that ideally becomes the only one, and perhaps another profile that's more lax, used for porting over things or w/e. [15:05]
asciilifeform: i.e. sslism is treated as 'special' and 'precious' evidently in >1 place [15:05]
trinque: but, if already saying we'll be curating ebuilds I don't see much of a point of the latter [15:05]
asciilifeform: ultimately ideal would be fully vtronic replacement for portage. [15:06]
trinque: and we have to eat all of portage, or we'll be in the position I was in when I handed current cuntoo script to diana_coman [15:06]
trinque: "oh sorry, outside world moved while we held still. build is now broke as a joke." [15:06]
trinque: this is the primary item on my workbench atm [15:06]
asciilifeform: well, not 'all of', but the closure-over-the-set of actually-used things [15:07]
trinque: "be responsible for everything considered republican portage" [15:07]
trinque: yes not eat all existing ebuilds [15:07]
asciilifeform: right [15:07]
asciilifeform: seems like maybe ~150 packages are in practice needed for a Troo Workstation [15:07]
trinque: own distfiles server, etc [15:07]
trinque: aha [15:07]
asciilifeform: and the number can probably be reduced considerably [15:07]
* trinque has a busybox userland-golf experiment on the workbench [15:08]
asciilifeform: good chunk of the installed packages on typical gentoo box is really liquishit [15:08]
trinque: though dunno if busybox counts, just giant wad of many utils. [15:08]
trinque: the appeal there is one upstream dependency vs various [15:08]
asciilifeform: i find busybox to be useful on ancient routers , pogo , & similar , but quite unusable as a unixutils substitute on actual workstation [15:09]
asciilifeform: it is not even remotely 100% compatible with classical bash etc [15:09]
trinque: the embedded constraint would, I'd wager, place a constraint on amount of shitgnomaticism to creep in. [15:10]
trinque: but probably yes, not compatible strictly with latest bash [15:11]
asciilifeform: imho the long-term answer is '3rd way' , i.e. all the crud i wrote in bash, python, etc over the years really oughta be in the hypothetical little-lisp-in-ada from old thread. [15:11]
asciilifeform: ( and at future date then readily transposable to a sane, nonunixoid os ) [15:11]
trinque: busybox default doesn't preclude there being a bash ebuild neh? [15:11]
* trinque is taking "smallest possible bootable userland" [15:11]
trinque: *talking [15:12]
asciilifeform: sure. but a default that nobody uses in battlefield, is not much to brag about. [15:12]
trinque: fair point. [15:12]
trinque: I admittedly *don't* use bash in battlefield, but privately on the workbench [15:12]
asciilifeform: iirc we even have somebody who lives in ksh. [15:12]
asciilifeform: ( or maybe i dreamed this. ) [15:12]
asciilifeform: in other lulz, sbcl apparently mildly broken on arm64: builds 100% but then ' can't find core file at /usr/lib/sbcl//sbcl.core ' [15:15]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793180 << i guess, yeah. kinda lotta work for little payoff though, more of stand-up comedy fare [15:15]

asciilifeform: ... unsurprising, because it lives in /usr/lib64 [15:15]
asciilifeform: but the path is HARDCODED IN [15:16]
asciilifeform: because somebody got dropped as a child, evidently [15:16]
asciilifeform: and yes i'm aware that it can be fixed by setting an evir variable. but WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO [15:16]
asciilifeform: possibly phf knows who was responsible for this. i'd like for the name to enter the logs. [15:16]
mod6: Berry McCockiner [15:19]

asciilifeform: ( input from prospective users specifically invited even if 'wish list' item, that currently dun have a reliable arm64 build ) [15:56]
asciilifeform: for that matter, would also like to measure demand in l1/l2 for these, as a whole [15:57]
asciilifeform: though will add, unlike shared-hosting service, there is little to no practical barrier to leasing these out to heathens [15:58]
asciilifeform: (supposing coin-bearing heathens were to appear) [15:58]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh, what, walk me throiugh this. let's use lesswrong codex as a basis. so : 1. you are in the hospital for "maybe wanting to kill yourself", after having made ill advised 1970s comments to 2010s paki diversity-"doctor" 2. "I remember working with a doctor who wanted to discharge his patient to some kind of outpatient drug rehab. The patient refused to go, so the doctor wouldn’t discharge her, and they were i [16:04]
mircea_popescu: n a stalemate over it for weeks, and the whole time the patient was tearfully begging the doctor to release her. I cannot tell you how much willpower it took not to sneak into the patient’s room and yell at her “JUST AGREE TO GO TO THE REHAB AND THEN DON’T DO IT, YOU IDIOT”." [16:04]
mircea_popescu: 3. you... umm... publish it anyway. [16:04]
mircea_popescu: what now ? [16:04]
mircea_popescu: we have the perfect mechanism of antipantsuit publishing http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-13#1770196 . what's the "color of bits" pantsuit system supposed to do, get trinque to swear in court you sent it to him ? [16:07]

I am a Special Agent (“SA”) of the United States Secret Service (“USSS”), and have been so employed for approximately three and one half years. In my experience totallies!" [16:08]

a111: Logged on 2016-06-07 19:04 trinque: http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/04/06/polyamory-is-boring/#comment-13604 << yudkowski might be a cuck [16:11]
mircea_popescu: this is such a direct equivalent of yesterday's ballistic-gellatin wank it's starting to draw out a profile (for what i previously called the wikitard, but i guess lesswrong is just a particularily thick cloud of them) : asocial beta male that has managed to move the conceptual universe of cartoons into "real life" such as they live it. [16:12]
mircea_popescu: seinfeld's superman comics and cereal eating habits meet the yudkowski "oh, on the basis of the behaviours of the three goats we have back at camp, women like dweebs" and the "lalala i can't hear you, us army bb gun is very efficient when fired at gelatin 5 feet away and the fact that you'll never get that close nor ever have to fight large blobs irl IS NOT IN MY FIELD OF VISION" [16:13]
mircea_popescu: then they believe (pretend to "think critically", but do no such thing, simply believe) rank nonsense like "global warming" because... THE MODEL!!! the model reminds them of the simplified characters in the manga they loved as children and the general deus-ex-machina atmosphere fits well with their only formative experiences. [16:15]
mircea_popescu: and so pantsuit science emerges naturally, out of a certain kind of child abuse it no longer needs agency for explaining its existence. [16:15]
