| BingoBoingo: | Watching Naked Gun 33 1/3, my how rauchy comedy fell between there and Retard Pie pocas años despues | [00:12] |
| BingoBoingo: | The question is, which year in the 90s did Pantsuit win | [01:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | BingoBoingo ever seen "kiss me, stupid" ? | [02:52] |
| mircea_popescu: | kinda what all these are derived from, hardblown, method-acted comedy. it's a cinematic adaptation of a roadshow style of entertainment (much like the "high class production" fred astaire / frank sinatra etc were in try to steal broadway for the studios) | [02:53] |

| mircea_popescu: | in other, ongoing lulz of the endless saga : "*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated" << wine (as bundled with the shitty ubuntu in question, v 3.0-1) abuses "stack protection" to crash perfectly fine programs (in this case, king's bounty - warriors of the north). | [04:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | so one, obviously, is stuck installing a proper wine on the system, because fuck me if i'm not getting off beginner island (VERY fucking annoying manifestation of the bug -- crashes you in the final battle, with that asswipe eric). | [04:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | "configure: error: no suitable flex found." doh. so you install flex. "configure: error: no suitable bison found." | [04:41] |
| diana_coman: | lol | [04:42] |
| diana_coman: | go hunt a bison1 | [04:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | holy shit, they manage to include NOTHING (i also had to include a c compiler myself earlier. and fucking make.) in those 2GB of bloat that ARE ANTIUSEFUL!!! | [04:42] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-06-09 13:05 mircea_popescu: b) install gcc. and then make. because it SHIPS WITHOUT THESE. and then of course discover the current versions don't match what the kernel was compiled with. | [04:42] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-06-02 15:50 mircea_popescu: remarkable just how useless computers are these days. so first, i chugged in 2gb of ubuntu. the moment it came up it wanted to get a further 450mb of "updates". then it turns out ~every game out there has pretty much outsourced its distribution (and, i suspect, debugging, such as it is) to steam (with a minor gog presence as well). so you gotta install steam. that's only 50mb or so, but a third layer by now. | [04:42] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-06-19 19:59 mircea_popescu: meanwhile continuing the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-19#1918697 nonsense : wine doesn't work worth a shit on the new ubuntu. it never worked splendidly, granted, but it was quite workable last i looked into this half decade ago. it degraded significantly. for instance, after a bunch of installing various, i'm left with a taskbar fulla dead icons. (well, in fairness they bring up a transparent exclamation point in a tria | [04:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman why bison1 specifically btw ? | [05:05] |
| diana_coman: | neah, meant bison! lol | [05:07] |
| diana_coman: | it's quite typical though | [05:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | needing bison ? well yeah, xml wasn't enough, gotta gnu | [05:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | or do you mean, "shipping broken" ? cuz sure, it is, but what the fuck did they put in those FOUR cds ? the gfx is shitty, the accessibility broken and the compiling dun werk. | [05:09] |
| diana_coman: | shipping broken + "install flex" "oh, but ALSO bison ofc" | [05:11] |
| diana_coman: | pretty much when they ask for flex, bison follows | [05:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | and speaking of terrible accessibility : they changed the taskbar structure from purely linear to a sorta broken tree, so that all terminals snap together into a single terminal icon (holy shit WHY, everyone's taskbar is 90% terms and that is THE ONLY REASON to even HAVE clickable taskbars) so now i have to do two clicks, one to bring up a derpy bubble and a second to bring up the wanted terminal, which blows btw because n | [05:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | ow i'm riding scaled down text. | [05:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | so i brought back screen to manage the term sessions for these idiots. THIS is the sense of progress : from 10.04 to 18.04, they lost terminal management, i'm back to screen. i didn't actually use it in 10.04 | [05:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman there is that yeah | [05:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | ubuntu, made by people who don't understand computers for people who don't need computers. | [05:14] |

| mircea_popescu: | https://is2.4chan.org/hc/1553961130029.jpg in ongoing lulz. | [05:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | does anyone by any chance remember which the fuck trilema article contained this image of a chavy teenage chick, straddling a dude in a car, knees bent, jeans still on but lifted off her cunt, shoving the dude underneath's manhood into her cunt with the left hand ? | [06:16] |
| mircea_popescu: | can't fucking find anything on this blog of mine, by now it's taking longer to amass the references than it takes to write a god damned article. | [06:17] |
| mircea_popescu: | in ongoing lulz : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/k5UcB/?raw=true | [07:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | people who code, the intellectual legacy. | [07:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | in other lulz : you may build and even install a proper wine (ie, configured without the derp-ass gcc "stack protection", that evidently doesn't work) and it'll even work, system-wide. however that doesn't mean playonlinux won't stick to its sadder, older version. and of course you can't just force-copy symlinks over in its holy directory, because they're all brokenly relative, and gns resolution works as shown in that p | [07:04] |
| mircea_popescu: | aste. | [07:04] |
| mircea_popescu: | well so let's see here : i can't play, because after sinking however many hours in chasing dependencies and fixing assorted if widely distributed breakage the end story is that "foss" has managed to really give the whole game away -- there is ONE chain, consisting of play on linux so-and-so using wine-so-and-so on ubuntu this-and-that, and you pray it works -- because if it doesn't work, THAT IS IT, "there was an error" li | [09:13] |
| mircea_popescu: | ke in the windows days, entirely and utterly unfixable. there's no alternate paths anymore, you can't get wine x to work with pol y anymore than you can get a chunk of windows nt to drop-in replace some chunk of windows vista. | [09:13] |
| mircea_popescu: | and i can't write, because i need a reference i can no longer find.i have no fucking idea how to fix this sort of problem, nor do i truly speaking expect it'll ever get fixed. so w/e, i guess ima trash this thousand words and move on. except the specter of "there's an X% chance you won't be able to complete the article you wish to write" is sufficiently chilling to permanently discourage one from even starting. | [09:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | and so... i guess ima go garden or something. | [09:14] |

| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: this was either in a very classic ro trilema ( that i did not eat yet ) or elsewhere entirely ( in-chan lnk ) | [09:50] |
| * asciilifeform | pretty certain he'd remember if had seen such a thing as described above | [09:52] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: re 'wine' breakage -- i'm not aware that the opensores 'wine' ever worked even with ancient gamez. the 'play on linux' thing iirc uses the commercial (formerly payware) version, which iirc includes actual libs copied wholesale from microshit. i.e. cocktail of oddball crapola and ~actual microshit~. so, unsurprised that it barfs. | [10:08] |
| asciilifeform: | problem as it is, is even older than linuxism -- recall in '90s, 'dr-dos', and how worked with only ~some~ msdos proggies but not others, given as people wrote 'for msdos', i.e. intimately wedded to the bugs and undocumented misfeatures etc | [10:10] |
| asciilifeform: | ( even moar outrageously, the actual msdos 6.22 sores leaked ~fully 20 yrs ago~ and devs of 'dosbox' opensores emulator ~still~ afaik use dr-dos/pc-dos 'mostly' compatible, entirely uninformed from the leak... ) | [10:14] |
| asciilifeform: | or, for that matter, a full (afaik) win2k sores snapshot leaked in early 2000s. but did the 'wine' people win from it ? guess. 'ohnoez, mustn't read leaked sores, damns yer soul to hell' or what did the idjits say. | [10:15] |
| asciilifeform: | entirely consistent, imho, with the picture given upthread re the whole orchestra. | [10:16] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-06-19 16:38 asciilifeform: 'modern linux komyooniti' is quite loyal organ of 'tame opposition', the occasional 20m of biodegradable monopoly money gifted to the occasional esr (who incidentally is begging for change to buy wheelchair, reportedly his legs went) goes long way | [10:16] |
| asciilifeform: | the microshit leaks thing was asciilifeform's 1st adult life encounter with 'unhappenings'(tm)(r) | [10:20] |
| asciilifeform: | 'bbut they can't keep secret worth a shit, here's this .zip, shows you where are all the caltrops' 'shuddup, it neverhappened, why wouldja even mention such a thing, terrorist' | [10:21] |
| asciilifeform: | i.e. exact preview of the 2013 'movie', where the nsa radiobugism docs leaked, and yet somehow still 'why wouldja want emshielded comp, paranoiac'. or heartbleed , and then somehow still 'openssl is standard, shuddup and Don't Write Own Crypto(tm)(r), terrorist' | [10:23] |
| asciilifeform: | this gets even lulzier : there is , for instance, 'react os' , an attempt at a full opensores clone of win2k. but does it run even 1 game w/out crashing? guess. cuz 'ohnoez, we won't read leaked' etc, for 9000th time. | [10:27] |

| asciilifeform: | torvalds's orig linux may have been a naturally occurring fungus, but i'm quite satisfied that 'wine' was written from day1 to prevent an actual working winblows substitute. | [10:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform it worked fine, i played heroes etc on it last time around (cca 2010 or so) | [10:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | it didn't work ALWAYS, and yes, precisely dr. dos problem as you describe it. | [10:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | but it didn't work when ti didn't work because of the program in question using exotic weird, not because "we shoot selves in foot with buggy half-working gcc stack protection misfeature" | [10:55] |

| asciilifeform: | pretty curious re the stack smash thing tho | [11:35] |
| asciilifeform: | whose misfeature ~was~ it, wine's, microshit's, or gcc's ? | [11:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | gcc's | [11:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | wine necessarily fucks around with the stack, as part of what it DOES. | [11:36] |
| asciilifeform: | afaik gcc's 'stack protection' simply consists of extra turd in stack frame, whose presence then is confirmed before a subroutine ret's. microshit, incidentally, has a similar one. BUT iirc they use diff sizes and contents of the turd. | [11:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | if you compile it with -fstack-protector it fails in this manner (not just on this game, but many). if you compile it without, it works fine -- however the downstream tree (playonlinux etc) can't very well be coerced to use it. | [11:37] |
| asciilifeform: | ( gcc's -- is toggleable, but can't immediately recall just how ) | [11:37] |
| asciilifeform: | aa | [11:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | which is the problem here -- there's nothing open source about this atrocity. | [11:38] |
| asciilifeform: | there afaik never was -- it's a wrapper around buncha .dll lifted directly from winblowz cd | [11:38] |

| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform play on linux ? no, it's basically a multi-mb pile of "useful python scripts" for running wine. basically, it's automake for windows proggies running in wine. | [11:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | the problem being that by now it escaped any sort of human control. | [11:40] |
| asciilifeform: | was speaking of wine per se. | [11:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | wine per se is an attempt to implement the windows api in posix. | [11:41] |
| asciilifeform: | was. turned into... this | [11:42] |
| asciilifeform: | ( cuz, elementarily, the dr-dos problem, good chunk of winblowz api aint documented -- in any sense, not even internally at microshit ) | [11:42] |

| mircea_popescu: | "stack protectors" are such a dumbass idea, i swear. who are they supposed to help ? the dumb user doesn't need the stack protected, he needs programs that don't smash it. and the smart user doesn't need fucking blindfolds on, he needs honest, informative and actionable errors. wtf "generic fault of a generic type" | [11:56] |

| BingoBoingo: | Well, he created datapoints. That's done. Now the thing is this is interfering with the serivce of other customers. | [17:49] |
| BingoBoingo: | And the way he is proviking this very much seems to be a case of http://trilema.com/2013/the-story-of-pointless-and-witless/ | [17:50] |
| asciilifeform: | also it'd be 1 thing if he were running a qntra and it were ddosed by washington. but i dun even get wtf he is doing, for what. | [17:50] |
| BingoBoingo: | He's evangelizing his church on EFNet where there are no cloaks | [17:50] |
| asciilifeform: | not that i necessarily demand to understand what customer does with his box. but in this case it isn't w/out problem for piz & the other residents. | [17:50] |

| BingoBoingo: | Indeed, but a shared IP clearly isn't the place to do it. Historically republican doctrine has been to wait out DDoS attacks, but keeping everyone else up is a problem | [18:04] |
| asciilifeform: | hence asciilifeform's ' danielpbarron, plz consider rk '. | [18:05] |
| BingoBoingo: | There also seems to me that there is difference in DDoS aiming to target a website and a DDoS targeting an IRC user out of some sort of behavioral retraining effort. | [18:07] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: imho mircea_popescu had a point, it is not for me to say what danielpbarron does with his box, whether he wants to preach 11th century heresies or serve up wikilix etc. but indeed the pipe is not made of rubber, something has to give. | [18:09] |
| asciilifeform: | atm even piz's own www is unplugged as result of this. | [18:12] |
| asciilifeform: | (given as lives on uy1) | [18:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | BingoBoingo what's the difference ? | [18:23] |
| BingoBoingo: | I'm mulling it over. It seems like he is going into their spaces, taking a piss, and getting told not to do that. Repeatedly. | [18:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'm sure he is. | [18:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | if one's systematically dedicated to not doing anything useful, sooner or later one necessarily finds himself burning all his time on dumb shit. | [18:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | that sort of infantile misbehaviour eminently fits the bill. | [18:27] |
| asciilifeform: | near as i can tell , he's been doing only this, and for more than yr | [18:29] |
| asciilifeform: | when asciilifeform was a boy, also liked the good ol' ants + magnifying glass. but did not sit and do ~only~ it... | [18:30] |
| BingoBoingo: | Which is why I bring the thing up here. I'm not certain what to do. I am rather certain that whatever is done, a shared shell isn't the place to repeatedly draw aggro after having done so the first few times. | [18:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | would also immensely help if pizarro was significantly larger by now. | [18:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | as a factual matter, you know going into the game that sooner or later, this sorta thing will happen. | [18:34] |
| BingoBoingo: | Indeed | [18:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | your only chance to do things like http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-20#1919075 to any degree of efficacity is being big enough. the birth of an isp is basically starting a timer, "will we make it before" | [18:34] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-06-20 21:40 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plox to request that dc perma-refrain from monkeying with our ip space. | [18:34] |
| lobbes: | small update: I've been inundated the last few weeks with $saltmines work tsmr work ~0 during this time. however, these next two weeks will be somewhat clearer so I'll be back to eating through modlisp | [20:58] |
