pete_dushenski: "Over the weekend, a BitGo user reported on Reddit that he had lost 85 BTC while using the BitGo Legacy Wallet Recovery Tool. The user reported that, while the tool reported it would send his entire balance of about 102 BTC to the target address, in fact it only sent 16 BTC to the target address, resulting in a whopping mining fee of 86 BTC being paid."
pete_dushenski: "The root cause of the problem occurred during the output value serialization step when the redeem transaction was constructed. During the process of converting the number into bytes for use in the transaction, bitwise operators were used in this old version of the code, which converted the output value (in satoshis) to a 32 bit integer, causing an integer overflow and truncating the output of 10227087437 satosh
pete_dushenski: is (102.27 btc) to 1637152845 satoshis (16.37 btc)."

mircea_popescu: what's really funny to me is that there's a "social media site", with 3-4mn claimed "users". out of these 3-4mn, if 1% are actually there you're lucky, and out of those 1% if anothyer 1% is even vaguely worth the mention you're ahead of the curve.
mircea_popescu: BUT! out of all those millions... you should be surprised if like... two people get it, a month or two later.
mircea_popescu: that's where we're at, currently. crowd source means, you gotta get 4 mn "users" together to get two guys that get it two months later.
mircea_popescu: it's not even that it'd be easier to do the getting yourself, by hand. or that it'd be easier to make an eliza get it. you could actually run a school and get better results.
mircea_popescu: which is kind-of like how the us army works, too : you need 4 mn people employed by the pentagon to get two dudes shooting a rifle at the enemy two months later.

mircea_popescu: here's the actual bit :
mircea_popescu: I remember an instance of a desperado's contempt for such small game as a private citizen's life. I was taking a late supper in a restaurant one night, with two reporters and a little printer named—Brown, for instance—any name will do. Presently a stranger with a long-tailed coat on came in, and not noticing Brown's hat, which was lying in a chair, sat down on it. Little Brown sprang up and became abusive in a mome
mircea_popescu: nt. The stranger smiled, smoothed out the hat, and offered it to Brown with profuse apologies couched in caustic sarcasm, and begged Brown not to destroy him. Brown threw off his coat and challenged the man to fight—abused him, threatened him, impeached his courage, and urged and even implored him to fight; and in the meantime the smiling stranger placed himself under our protection in mock distress. But presently he
mircea_popescu: assumed a serious tone, and said:
mircea_popescu: "Very well, gentlemen, if we must fight, we must, I suppose. But don't rush into danger and then say I gave you no warning. I am more than a match for all of you when I get started. I will give you proofs, and then if my friend here still insists, I will try to accommodate him."
mircea_popescu: The table we were sitting at was about five feet long, and unusually cumbersome and heavy. He asked us to put our hands on the dishes and hold them in their places a moment—one of them was a large oval dish with a portly roast on it. Then he sat down, tilted up one end of the table, set two of the legs on his knees, took the end of the table between his teeth, took his hands away, and pulled down with his teeth till
mircea_popescu: the table came up to a level position, dishes and all! He said he could lift a keg of nails with his teeth. He picked up a common glass tumbler and bit a semi-circle out of it. Then he opened his bosom and showed us a net-work of knife and bullet scars; showed us more on his arms and face, and said he believed he had bullets enough in his body to make a pig of lead. He was armed to the teeth. He closed with the remark
mircea_popescu: that he was Mr.——of Cariboo—a celebrated name whe
mircea_popescu: so... no. it's not the race, it's the occupation.

ascii_field: welcome to the sad hell
mircea_popescu: or you know, you could install nginx
mircea_popescu: because totally, that's the stack you want, 8 things long
mircea_popescu: or you could install apachebooster, which is... a wrapper on nginx and varnish, by "prajith"

mircea_popescu: ascii_field the actual sad hell is not this. it is that i will solve it, and that will serve ABSOLUTELY NOBODY
mircea_popescu: supposedly THIS is why we're wasting all the money on "ip" enforcement : so that i am not in this position where i can say the above.
mircea_popescu: works about as well as fucking foss.
ascii_field: well yes, will solve it
ascii_field: how else.
mircea_popescu: dignork yes, it does. but apache does not look at it.
mircea_popescu: and i know this, incidentally, because i have meanwhile learned "vcl"
ascii_field: and of course it will serve no one else. that'd be, what, interchangeable parts, it isn't 1800 yet, not invented yet

mircea_popescu: all the boyish idiocy of "software development" needs to go die in a fire.
mircea_popescu: !up dignork
dignork: thanks :)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: at present, no one has the fuel for this fire.
ascii_field: ignition - yes, buncha angry fellas with welding torches
mircea_popescu: dignork it's not a matter of logging it. it's a matter of, php no longer sees the source

dignork: well, it's still accessible as http header (X-Forwarded-For or similar), so it will require some minor changes to php code
mircea_popescu: random derps are willing to send you a copy. if you trust them. signatures ? wots ? wut ?
mircea_popescu: dignork change THE CODE because of THE SERVER ?!

dignork: adding reverse proxy is infrastructure change, original code might have been written with such change in mind, but even if not, usally it's a minor modification
mircea_popescu: the most insulting thing is that while the wisdom seems to be "eh, change the code", there does not exist a master list where you know, all the code dependencies are nicely cross-referenced, so i can just go "fuckup-php for-the-ip-poroxy-issue"
mircea_popescu: think about it. why the fuck should the code have to know about this. and if it does have to know about this, why aren't ALL the code references affected by any of such a change cross-indexed somewhere ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: there is probably enough accumulated anger of this kind among computer users for two or three classy genocides
ascii_field has, if anyone didn't know, a whole www site about this
mircea_popescu: dignork the only way you would be allowed to write code, in a world where "hey, if infrastructure changes code needs to change" is with index lists of "all lines affected by X - here" "all lines affected by Y - here"
ascii_field recalls this exists as ada postprocessor
mircea_popescu: i am not surprised.
ascii_field: but this is a mega-l0l - apache crud, etc. wake me up when someone has the resources to rewrite even something that catastrophically matters, e.g. bitcoin
mircea_popescu: it doesn't even exist, you hear me ? the cannonical way to get ip fixed on a varnished apache is "Note that http://stderr.net/apache/rpaf/download/mod_rpaf-0.6.tar.gz where the file originally were located for some reason is off currently."
mircea_popescu: i thouht it's just off you know, as i happened to look at it. but no, they have blogposts about it
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Can you not use the WordPress cacheing plugin?
mircea_popescu: the who now ?!
dignork: mircea_popescu: you wouldn't believe amount of horribly broken code which blows up in ipv6 environment, anything from integer overflows,crashes,malfunctions to firewalls leaving your machine exposed
mircea_popescu: dignork o, i'd believe.
ascii_field: dignork: we knew. which is why i banned ipv6 in my home, and press for its permanent exclusion from therealbitcoin
mircea_popescu: ascii_field how is it ipv6's fault!
ascii_field: elementarily, and all else aside, it makes naked eye analysis of lan traffic considerably more painful
mircea_popescu: so then use ipv2!
ascii_field: lol wut
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: WP Super Cache I think its called, it Caches your HTML and serves that rather than rendering on each load
williamdunne: So basically like varnish but a bit more shit
mircea_popescu: how is it like varnish at all ? it's a php script neh ?
williamdunne: Maybe I'm not remembering what varnish is correctly, but it is a middleware that serves up static HTML instead of asking the server, right?
mircea_popescu: well, yes, but it stands in front of apache
williamdunne: Yeah, its a bit like that except serverside
williamdunne: Not ideal, but better than nothing
williamdunne: (Until you find a better solution, that is)
mircea_popescu: maybe i could reimplement apache in php first! then i could run varnish (reimplemented in php too) in front of it and not lose the ips.
williamdunne: Why not reimplement it in brainfuck?
mircea_popescu: because much like ada, brainfuck is an actually specified language
mircea_popescu: so it's probably not fast enough for the web.
ascii_field observes that ada uses gcc backend, but this is already known to most

davout: mircea_popescu: i haven't been using apache for a long long while, but maybe mod_remoteip does what you want, override the source IP by some IP it finds in an HTTP header
mircea_popescu: yes. except it doesn't run for apache 2.2.x
davout: klol
mircea_popescu: among the changes from 2.2 to 2.4 (current) ? alf will appreciate this
mircea_popescu: Apache 2.4 uses a dynamic modular structure by default. This potentially can cause problems if a LoadModule directive calls a module that was not built into the Apache binary.
mircea_popescu: EasyApache overrides Apache 2.4's default settings and builds modules statically to provide backward compatibility.
mircea_popescu: static builds are "backwards compatibility" nao
williamdunne: Is it possible to just search through your code and edit all header["ip_address"] to header["remote_ip"]?
williamdunne: Or whatever the variable is called
mircea_popescu: i could even write a perl script to do it...
davout: i don't get how the structure can be "dynamic modular" and then "cause problems" when stuff isn't built right into apache
mircea_popescu: davout welcome to technical writing today.
davout: and wrt to the reference index thing, it's kind of weird that the same stuff would be defined at multiple places anyway
davout: unless coding is done with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V
mircea_popescu: Compiling and Installing mod_remoteip on Apache 2.2
mircea_popescu: If you are running Apache 2.2, you can thank Takashi Takizawa for backporting mod_remoteip for Apache 2.2.X servers and posting it on his GitHub as mod_remoteip_httpd22.
mircea_popescu: so what's the wot vote, do i thank " Takashi Takizawa" for his work and download random code offa da github ?
mircea_popescu: what signatures or anything, it's Takashi Takizawa!!
davout: patch can't be that large to review
mircea_popescu: yeah, i am looking forward to reviewing random code for free.
mircea_popescu: just another $500 an hour service i do for the world.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, this is what the stack of shit is built on. "oh, little step X can't be too hard"
mircea_popescu: fuck you.
williamdunne: What difference would it make if he had signed it? Its not like you know the guy enough to trust him
mircea_popescu: but maybe i know someone who does trust him ?
mircea_popescu: moreover, if i do know some guys who trust him, the cost of obtaining a new Takashi Takizawa is not equal to s/Takashi Takizawa/Takashi Takizawa/
mircea_popescu: 448 lines. i am not happy with a dollar a line. not that i'm getting paid or anything.
davout: yeah well, either you code due diligence or you don't, up to you, never mentioned anything about "reviewing random code for free"
mircea_popescu: and if i do, it's wasted.
mircea_popescu: "there's free as in beer, free as in freedom, and free as in your time has no value"
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: one way to look at it is that division of labour never really happened in computing. to the useful point where you can actually safely hand something off to a pro. instead, we're all in a situation not unlike that ru doctor in the polar expedition who had to self-appendectomy
mircea_popescu: the other way to look at this is that everyone involved in computer software should be sent back to third grade
mircea_popescu: with a month's supply of daily beatings.

mircea_popescu: now back to the issue : the "backported" thing compiles. apache has no care in the world.
mircea_popescu: how do you drop modules into apache ?
davout: williamdunne: thought a bit about your project, sounds like a degenerate case of a stock exchange actually
Adlai: this is also why the only sane approach to programming depends upon homoiconicity... there's simply too much code for a single human to type by hand
Adlai: !up ascii_field
williamdunne: davout: Not sure why it would be degenerate, but yes. Very similar.
williamdunne: Hence >Sorta like an MPEX for people
davout: williamdunne: because if your work consists of projects X, Y, and Z you can decide to raise capital separately for each of them separately on a stock exchange, not only as "here's me, throw money at me"
williamdunne: Thats the point
williamdunne: If you believe that someone has the potential to do something great, but do not know how many attempts it may take them to do so, it allows you to bet on their success rather than the success of the current project
davout: in this case a stock market would have the advantage of making shitty stuff fail earlier
williamdunne: I'm hoping it just increases the velocity, so shitty stuff fails sooner and good stuff succeeds sooner
davout: "i didn't even get to try projects X and Y because the market told me it was retarded", on the other hand Z was pretty successful"
williamdunne: X Y and Z have a number of other metrics you can use to attain success i.e revenue growth
davout: what other metric than money did you have in mind?
ascii_field: wake me up when there is actually the money floating around to give anything serious at all its minimal take-off velocity.
ascii_field: (to a first approximation, afaik, there isn't)
williamdunne: davout: Growth of userbase etc, its not meant to be a sure-fire bet to make money
williamdunne: Its also more restrictive, as its not restricted to projects. i.e a student could use it if doing some sort of professional degree
williamdunne: Really the idea is just making it possible to invest in people rather than things
Adlai: ascii_field: on the contrary, the money is there, but it's steered by people who prefer to fund http://itsthisforthat.com/api.php?text
williamdunne: Although your issue could somewhat solved by allowing shareholders to allocate what money goes where
ascii_field: williamdunne: it is already possible. pick your favourite people and give $1m to each, in unmarked benjies.
davout: that's kind of a basic mistake here, assuming you can invest in things, if I buy a bitcoin asset I'm really investing in the people running it, not in some ethereal abstract "thing"
davout: williamdunne: shareholders being able to allocate "what money goes where" is pretty much a stock market
williamdunne: davout: If I believe paymium will possibly fail, but that you're going do something great in the future, I would be better off investing in you than paymium
williamdunne: davout: true
mircea_popescu: heh. mkay, i got it, now it's terribly broken :D
williamdunne: davout: Basically its no longer a bet on whether or not the project is retarded, but whether or not you're retarded
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: What is?
davout: mircea_popescu: good good, let the broken http requests flow through you
mircea_popescu: anyway, at least now i know what needs fixing
davout: williamdunne: my main point is that this is already what you're doing when buying a BTC-denominated asset that's run by someone and that your idea removes more value than what it adds to the stock exchange value proposition
davout: but hey, at the end of the day you're the one doing the work!
williamdunne: davout: well it wouldn't be BTC denominated, but yeah. While it certainly removes some things, its not targeted at people who would need those things
lobbes: <williamdunne> ... If I believe paymium will possibly fail, but that you're going do something great in the future, I would be better off investing in you than paymium << In this case, wouldn't you just wait until he creates the project you think -will- succeed and invest in that?
williamdunne: lobbes: Potentially so, although of course that assumes that you have the capacity to do so, and he has the capitulation to get to that point
ascii_field: capitulation ?!

trinque: not committing to it while I can't guarantee I'll execute
Adlai waits for trinque to take initiative
williamdunne not sure what is wrong with using github with pgp signatures
trinque: williamdunne: enemy territory
trinque: it should be hosted in-wot
williamdunne: What difference does it make if you have local backups and its all signed?
williamdunne: Not like they can modify the code or take it from you, just delete it from their servers
williamdunne: Hardly a dealbreaker IMO
trinque: why have factories in the US when China will produce everything for us cheaper?
trinque: it's a matter of growing infrastructure
trinque: and expertise
Pierre_Rochard: why not both? mirror on github, run your own git server
davout: while github is not an option i'm with williamdunne here, git is nice and having a foundation-operated git server would be a good thing imo
trinque: I am also in favor of git
mircea_popescu: how gpg friendly is it ?
Pierre_Rochard: it’s ssh friendly, send your ssh pubkey signed with your gpg key
Adlai: !s darcs
assbot: 25 results for 'darcs' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=darcs
williamdunne: You can store anything on git, so nothing stopping you from attaching signatures
davout: mircea_popescu: i think you can sign commits, also it can't really be less gpg-friendly than throwing tarballs around
davout: looking into it
Adlai: fwiw, darcs is much more friendly to the "signed patch" model of modification; git is better for 'signed code'; and neither are perfect
Adlai: (git only lets you sign merkle roots of the source code, rather than diffs)
mats: git and github is not so great
Adlai: although... signed roots are kinda what you want
Adlai: mats: what's wrong with git itself?
assbot: Git - Signing Your Work ... ( http://bit.ly/1DygLSU )

trinque: having one goddamn tower that can get skullfucked by orcs is bad
williamdunne: git >>>>>>> cvs
williamdunne: I'll keep my commits thank you very much
Adlai: davout: the "sign commits" feature still essentially consists of signing a merkle root of the source tree; darks lets you sign the patch
trinque: prudent I think to discuss which DVCS to use
trinque: but DVCS by god
Adlai: there's stuff to be said for either side... tbh, it seems like signing merkle roots is what yall want
davout: Adlai: well, from what i understand of the docs, you can sign -individual commits- which is a new feature because originally it could only do what you say
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 53300 @ 0.00030083 = 16.0342 BTC [+] {3}
davout: now, how you verify them, and how you enforce mandatory signature is something else
Adlai: davout: an "individual commit" is still just a hash of the commit message + merkle root of the source tree
trinque: davout: sounds like fancy hooks
trinque: to reject bad pushes
Adlai: so, it's less convenient for signing a patch relative to an upstream repo; but is exactly what you want if you just want to have a single head to put on a stake when heardbleed 2.0 gets uncovered
davout: trinque: that's one thing, the other is: whenever i pull i want to verify it independently
trinque: indeed
williamdunne: *clone
Adlai: so you either want darcs with every single patch signed, or git
davout: Adlai: you're probably right, i think the difference isn't that important though, the point of the wot is to make an identity valuable
Adlai: git has the advantage of a single signature covering the entire current state; darcs has the advantage of letting a single signature cover changes alone. it's really a question of use case
Adlai: the real problem is technophobia, "I trust nothing other than butterflies and sed"
Adlai: ... but whence the sed binary?
ascii_field: not the git thing again
davout: they're functionally equivalent, but i guess that if darcs is a better fit, why not
Adlai: they're not! the darcs model would've let mircea_popescu submit a single fix to apache, whereas the git model requires him to sign the entire apache source tree
Adlai: !up ascii_field
davout: Adlai: they're functionnaly equivalent, not identical, the functionality in this case being the identification of the head to chop off
Adlai: either approach lets you determine which fingers inserted which code
williamdunne: davout: How is that different to git? You can blame individual lines of coding using git
davout: Adlai: that's exactly my point
ascii_field: git is pernicious for safety-critical code because it - however slightly - reduces the expectation that every line of diff is attentively read
trinque: this is a social problem
ascii_field: by making it easy to process heavy diffs
trinque: not a technology problem
trinque: max commit size and beatings
davout: ^this
ascii_field: i do -not- want nonhumanreadable state in source.
ascii_field: it is an abomination.
Adlai: what's 'nonhumanreadable'?
ascii_field: can't be cat'd to a vt100.
ascii_field: or line printer.
davout: ascii_field: is a tarball human readable?

trinque: commit points to other commits and a tree, tree points to tree entries, which point to blobs
davout: williamdunne: whiskey tango foxtrot

trinque: all things are blobs, even the aforementioned
trinque: keys are hashes
trinque: what's not to understand
williamdunne: davout: blame tool
trinque: then you have the tool atop that data model which yes, has all kinds of bullshit
trinque: but the data model itself is easily understood
trinque: and inspectable by human eyes
Adlai: trinque: darcs is even simpler, but has the disadvantage (which was previously mentioned as an advantage!) of allowing people to submit changes which cause malicious behavior when combined with previously-signed changes
davout: williamdunne: look what's your point here? that one can git-blame?
williamdunne: pretty much
davout: williamdunne: everybody fucking knows that
trinque: lol
Adlai: williamdunne: the problem here is more one of convincing ascii_field that there exists trustworthyness outside of his own skull
williamdunne: Ah okay, not sure if I can help with that.
trinque: so the process of establishing trust should be human and involve eyes
trinque: the process of managing a bunch of feature branches and shit, I want a tool
trinque: doing that manually doesn't make me smarter.
Adlai: signed tarballs are still corruptible, if your tar (or gpg) binary is diddled
trinque: everything is
Adlai: really this is all masturbation until we have a by-hand constructible fab
trinque: !rate dickhead -10 committed 1000 lines of god knows what
assbot: dickhead is not registered in WoT.
trinque: that's how you fix that
Adlai dogwalks and drinks away the shittiness of modern computing
davout: ascii_field: would you have no problem with a tool that you can bypass, and build the source with the actual signed commits ?
Adlai: sorry, not just regular old wanking - *competitive* masturbation
davout: according to Adlai it isn't really practical to do with git, however, if darcs can output actual clearsigned diffs that would allow one to re-construct the same source tree by hand and check the sigs manually
ascii_field: davout: problem is not just the build
ascii_field: davout: but that git etc make adding crud easy
Adlai: davout: it's doable with git, although requires numerous calls to sha256sum and building 'ls' output by hand
ascii_field: and creates the expectation of using git
Adlai: darcs is much easier to reproduce by hand, since it's JUST applying signed patches
trinque: ascii_field: doesn't this apply to the use of power tools?
trinque: shouldn't use them because an idiot will just end up without an arm?
davout: ascii_field: i'm with trinque here, it's a social problem, not to be solved by tools
Adlai: trinque: this applies to the use of silicon that you didn't forge yourself
davout: but by the wot
Adlai: ascii_field is just choosing to trust intel/amd/etc
trinque: right, I can guarantee at least that I have no qualms screaming at a person that's done wrong
ascii_field: Adlai: it is a mistake to conclude that i trust
Adlai: well, we're choosig a point at which we give up on paranoia as overly hampering
Adlai: and arguing over where exactly that point is
ascii_field: notice that you -can- use git etc personally, no prob
ascii_field: but this is not what git aficionados want. they expect -me- to use it if i want to participate
ascii_field: and to have the canonical representation of the project be a git turd
trinque: well, the social experiment would be instructive, would it not?
Adlai is making too many typos to continue participating in the discourse
ascii_field: trinque: go 'experiment' with boeing's avionics code
Adlai: last thought: a signed-patch-dev mailing list, and some trivial darcs wrapper that consumes attachments from that mailing list to frob any random repository, whether git, darks, or - for mats's's benefit - cvs. left as an exercise to the reader.
ascii_field: will be an interesting social experiment, yes
trinque: ascii_field: if people cannot be brought to obey processes, how can any group activity ever occur?
Adlai: note that darcs does NOTHING beyond 'patch -p1 < thingy'
ascii_field: Adlai: go ahead and use it then
ascii_field: but don't expect me to
Adlai: it needs to be written first :)
Adlai dogwalk
ascii_field: wtf is so hard to understand re: 'the canonical representation of the project must be human-readable' ?
trinque: it should be noted that ascii_field's profession as I understand it is knowing how attacks occur
trinque: and I respect that
trinque: and "speed" of development should not be a value
ascii_field: trinque: it is a mistake to conclude that i am bringing deep wisdom from some 'respectable society' profession here. i am deliberately and profanely pissing on 'best practices'
trinque: ascii_field: seems you should write up what you think is an appropriate process for maintaining a "mainline" branch
trinque: ascii_field: I am referring to you, not an industry
ascii_field: why? because we have a little problem with vermin, in computing
ascii_field: and the only solution, at this point, is neutron bomb
trinque: certainly
ascii_field: i don't have the neutron bomb yet. so we're stuck with flamethrowers
davout: ascii_field: i hear your points
ascii_field: but even so, anyone who wants - davout, trinque, et al - can use favourite versioncontrolsystem at home
trinque: ascii_field: I would be pleased with a process that allowed for that, but that there is only one route to "released"
trinque: and think you're on the money re: how that should operate
ascii_field: i mean, when you write own contributions, you can generate them however you like
ascii_field: so long as the output is a unix patch
trinque: sure, I see room for collaborating on feature branches though
ascii_field: incidentally, for readers unfamiliar with the overall thread, the project under discussion - therealbitcoin - does not belong to me. it is run by ben_vulpes and mod6. who appear to agree with my position here.
trinque: ben_vulpes uses git in his day to day work, and I'm sure for a reason
trinque: or if not that some other dvcs
ascii_field: it is worth repeating precisely -why- i specified 'unix patches' to be the canonical representations
williamdunne: Maybe there is a good reason why this would not work, but could you not just generate an XML file that contains the names of all the files, a hash of each file, and then sign the XML? Could be automated fairly easily and would work on top of existing solutions
ascii_field: the ultimate product is to be a series of -human-auditable- diffs, each small and extremely narrowly focused, starting from classical bitcoind 0.5.3.
ascii_field: this is to establish -pedigree-
trinque: williamdunne: XML nein
williamdunne: trinque: some sort of record of the files and shasums then
ascii_field: williamdunne: we have this. 'manifest'
trinque: williamdunne: this is what the tree in git already is
trinque: pile of hashes and blobs they refer to
ascii_field: it is how i specified a de-crufted subset of 0.5.3's files on day 1
ascii_field: (diff does not offer a simple way to say 'deleted whole file')
trinque: so it lacks information
ascii_field: trinque: my opposition to git et al as canonical representations is because they have -any- 'behind the scenes' components.
trinque: I agree 100% that "canonical" as the outside world is made to see it should not be a git repo
ascii_field: as well as reasons listed earlier.
trinque: and understand your rationale
trinque: I think hackers here would just like to collaborate via something other than email
trinque: it's a shitty interface and I'm not dealing with it
trinque: doesn't make me feel smart to pluck a patch from an email attachment
ascii_field: trinque: automate.
trinque: and that approaches dvcs
ascii_field: and pluck from jurov's www forum.
ascii_field: trinque: no, it does not. because there is no hidden state.
trinque: I don't agree with "hidden" re: the state of git
trinque: but then I've been all through the internals of it
ascii_field: what's in a '.git' ?
ascii_field: and more importantly, wtf should i have to care
trinque: database of hashes and binary wads
trinque: it's just a key value store
ascii_field: and before long folks will want forking/branching
trinque: this is sensible, sometimes work begins on a feature that's later abandoned
ascii_field: and then comes the use of central server, and of ssl
trinque: or postponed
trinque: naaah
trinque: git solves this problem, and I can even email you a patch directly out of git
ascii_field: trinque: how is branching not hidden state ?
trinque: explain to me what is hidden
trinque: that it is a binary db?
ascii_field: i can't pipe a branched repo to a line printer
assbot: Logged on 28-04-2015 16:23:44; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu is basically a better read, less geographically restricted, and paler Qadaffi
davout: if darcs is able to output clearsigned unix patches i really don't see a reason not to use it, we can still review small individual units of work, and ascii_field's patches integrate gracefully
ascii_field: use it, so long as i don't have to know anything about it
trinque: to the extent that we do it right ascii_field should not have to care
trinque: yes
mircea_popescu: in other news, noiw im getting shit like Host: H\x92_\x02 in the logs.
mircea_popescu: can't possibly be a problem rite ?
ascii_field: trinque: and if any of you produce a 100kB patch, and i barf on general principle and refuse to have anything more to do with project, don't say i didn't warn that vcs is harmful.
davout: trinque: "to the extent that we do it right ascii_field should not have to care" <<< that should be the criteria
ascii_field: for the record, i use all kinds of odd tools internally
ascii_field: but would never expect other folks to take that kind of radiation damage
davout: ascii_field: that's what's being said, it's a good tool if ascii_field doesn't know about it :D
trinque: I agree
ascii_field: when i suddenly am expected to care what's in some xml turd, or expose a box to the net just to fetch changes, or similar atrocities - i reach for barf bag
trinque: I promise to barf myself if XML creeps in
davout: ascii_field: i have some "Air France" branded ones if you're into sophisticated barfing
trinque: !up ascii_field
ascii_field: davout: i took an 'aerolinas argentinas' bag home
ascii_field: ty trinque
mircea_popescu: "expose a box to the net just to fetch changes" << what, you want it to divine the changes ?
ascii_field: nah removable storage
mod6: <+ascii_field> ... it is run by ben_vulpes and mod6. who appear to agree with my position here. << yup.
trinque: ascii_field: if there were even something which made the relationships between patches data, I would be satisfied.
trinque: that's really *all* I want
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> and the only solution, at this point, is neutron bomb << Better make sure your z-weighted sheilding is completely cobalt free...
trinque: ok, this is how I get to the point where I can work on feature X
trinque: this is how I build out to current release
trinque: the mailing list is a shitty version of this
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 31300 @ 0.0003015 = 9.437 BTC [+] {2}
trinque: seems like an ID of a patch would obviously be some hash of it
trinque: so then just a tree of IDs
trinque: to synthesize one point from that pile, I want the computer to strongly enforce relationships for me, not to mindlessly build because I'm too lazy
jurov: trinque, it uses SHA1 as ID
trinque: what does
trinque: git, yeah
trinque: this is a hypothetical
mod6: the mailing list
trinque: ah ok
jurov: no, btc-dev mailinglist it even renames the recognized signed attachemnts so
trinque: so where's the tree of hashes that tells me what builds towards the release
trinque: some email somewhere
trinque: structured data is pretty cool.
jurov: if you can propose some format for this accepted by stakeholder like alf, you're welcome
jurov: it's shell scripts atm
trinque: just thinking through it; I have no need to change nor authority to change a process that works for them
ascii_field: i'd be open to a purely gnumake-based thing instead of the sh
cazalla: so Warrick County got back to me regarding the ransomware (in comic sans no less)

assbot: Logged on 28-04-2015 16:33:22; williamdunne: i.e I sell 40% of all my future income for xx btc today
mircea_popescu: this was kinda popular with "artists" thinking themsleves above prostitution on myfreecams and etsy.
mircea_popescu: it never took off.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Getting to keep the other 60%
mircea_popescu: unless you pull a bugsy and sell 500%
williamdunne: Sure. That can be prevented though
mircea_popescu: o it can ?
williamdunne: That exact problem could exist with regular stocks. Whats the incentive for Exxon to keep generating revenue? Start up, sell out, cash out, bro down
williamdunne: Yeah, don't let them sell 500% of their income
trinque: who doesn't let them
williamdunne: The operator, its not like they're selling 40% of £40,000/year, they're selling 40% of whatever they make, with no guarantees of said figure
trinque: why invest in workers when you can invest in the businesses that own them?
mike_c: this HYIP sounds awesome. put me down for 500% of it.
williamdunne: trinque: Because people live on a different timeperiod to the company in many cases
williamdunne: *are alive for
trinque: eh that's just shitty businesses
williamdunne: if(percentage > 100)
williamdunne: return "fuck off"
mike_c: s/100/0/
mircea_popescu: im not sure you understand the difference between natural and constructive persons
jurov: why can't you just get normal loan?
mircea_popescu: but let's indulge : exxon can't smoke fucking dope.
mircea_popescu: EVERY human looking to sell his future is into smoking dope.
williamdunne: And thats part of the risk
williamdunne: jurov: Maybe you can, this is an alternative.
trinque: no that's it; the more you're willing to sell your future the higher risk "investment" you are
trinque: williamdunne: ^
williamdunne: Indeed, I'm not talking bout some sort of service where 100 people deposit money and then a "money manager" decides who to invest in
williamdunne: The entire point is its meant to be risky as shit
mike_c: mircea_popescu: you could install nginx and not install varnish. it will cache shit quite nicely
williamdunne: Its not really a unique idea though, been done twice as far as I can tell. Both started in US but had obvious legal issues come up
jurov: oh it has been done many millions of times
jurov: like, parents invest into you nd then expect to get a "reasonable" part of your income
williamdunne: I mean the platform, not the general idea of selling future income
williamdunne: ofc thats been done a shit ton
williamdunne: Governments constantly do it without consent
mircea_popescu: mike_c yeah, im a day wasted in here. i could waste another one. sure.
mircea_popescu: excelt niginx also won't work.
mircea_popescu: for reasons.
jurov: williamdunne: so why do you want to undergo this, when most everyone hates it?
williamdunne: jurov: Did quite well on the other platforms until the SEC stepped in, not particularly large time investment needs to be made.
trinque: jurov: sounds like someone who doesn't deserve a loan begging with "no dude, I'll like, do anything, man!"
trinque: the recourse for that person is to go find someone for whom to tape boxes shut
trinque: not to be handed more money to waste
jurov: williamdunne: that's not answer to "why"
trinque: aside from the foolishness of this from an investment perspective, it's not helping the guy any
jurov: trinque: ikr. but want to see the thought process why it supposedly beats other alternatives
trinque: on the other side sure, if you've got goons (read: massive govt) to beat payment out of people, loan sharking is great
williamdunne: jurov: "Because potentially it could make money, its an excuse to learn more tech, and there is little risk in terms of what I could lose by doing it"
mircea_popescu: ok, so the sad story of my wasted day : first, instlaled varnish in 10 minutes, but then spent 4 hours trying to get ip forwarding.
mircea_popescu: finally found a way to do that. EXCEPT it injects random data at random intervals, i end up with "ips" like "8�b]"
mircea_popescu: and well... spend another 4 hours debugging that.
mircea_popescu: lesson learned ... do not try to actually use software.
mircea_popescu: it's not usable.
mike_c: nginx always works. I have never been disappointed in it. Recommending shit to people is always a -EV process, but..
mircea_popescu: it would have been cheaper to buy a server. if i were to bill 8 hours it'd be enough to buy a fucking rack, and that's for doing stuff i actually like doing.
jurov: haven't i wrote somewhere that every productive day ends with patch or bugreport?
mircea_popescu: so you have.
jurov: and i don't enjoy that, too. but such is life.
mircea_popescu: pretty ridiculous life.

ascii_field is still wondering how mircea_popescu can use that cthonian horror, cpanel
mircea_popescu: the fact that i own a gas station does in no way alleviate the problem that laurel&hardy cars.
trinque: taking on the whole goddamn space is an enormous challenge to say the least
mircea_popescu: ascii_field works way better than this shit, ftr.
ascii_field: ahahahahaha
mircea_popescu: it.does.
ascii_field: ok i'll bite. how do i remove apache and get nginx
ascii_field: all traces of apache
mircea_popescu: nginx works atop apache
jurov: what????
ascii_field: wat?!!
mircea_popescu: in cpanelworld, yeah it does.
mircea_popescu: it's a proxy for apache.
ascii_field: this feels like using winblows
ascii_field: i was even about to use the apache (all i need is to proxy to my proggy which has own http stack) but then i find that there is no /etc/apache2
ascii_field: and that the motherfucking cpanel thing puts it fuck knows where
jurov: i have everything built as nginx OR apache(never both of them) in extra process, PHP/Perl/Python in extra process(es)
trinque: every bakery should have their own software team because no real scotsman would pay someone else to do that
trinque: the lack of a turnkey solution here is absurd, just a shitty industry
jurov: nothing like mod_php monstrosities
ascii_field: *why* is it not in the standard location ?
ascii_field: what kind of dope had to be taken, to conceive of this ?
trinque: why is the standard location not enforced?
jurov: standard location on debian is /etc/httpd
ascii_field: should be enforced using club with nails
jurov: or it was redhat, dunno
trinque will yet have to be persuaded that the relational model does not solve all this
trinque: system state should be a database, if a simple and perhaps even plaintext one
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it's called httpd not appache 2 in centos
mircea_popescu: because REASONS
jurov: ^yes
mircea_popescu: note it is rhel's fault.
trinque: "hm I didn't like that change I made to the system" << rollback
mircea_popescu: not cpanel's.
trinque: "config file is munged" << schema
trinque: and constriants
ascii_field: and where are 'sites-available' ?
jurov: trunque use btrfs?
trinque: jurov: getting closer yeah
trinque: but it has to know data structure and barf when it's not followed
trinque: it needs a reflection system; I want to interrogate the system about its structure
trinque: I want to be able to declare into that representation of structure new structures
trinque: in the same way I declare data
trinque: we were trying to build this at my last job, and fucked it up entirely with braindead concepts from the web space
trinque: the answer is probably not for example "build all into postgres" as we were doing
jurov: trinque you need omniprescient entity that declares forever usable schema
mircea_popescu: ascii_field but while we're doing the "what dope" thing, why the fuck is apache "apache2"
ascii_field: because there was a mega-rewrite once
trinque: jurov: explain?
mircea_popescu: trinque hardest problem in cs this, dude. naming.
trinque: yeah, so you need to be able to change structure easily
mircea_popescu: take the dewey decimal system.
jurov: every schema-based system ended up with bags of backward compatibility
trinque: views and actions against the reflection layer
williamdunne: Guessing some people wanted to kick it old school and not move to the re-write, and there was enough of them that apache updated got called apache2, but thats just a guess
mircea_popescu: it requires a hard guarantee you will never want more than 10 categories at any level.
trinque: jurov: yeah views
mircea_popescu: williamdunne it's exactly what it iwas, and exactly why i asked him the question.
trinque: relational algebra is the best model I'm aware of for deriving all needed representations of data
trinque: and you can easily with something that isn't braindead SQL imagine a model where the canonical representation can be changed, and new views derived from the operation taken to produce the new representation
jurov: wtf views?
trinque: so operations against the system must also be data
jurov: how will views solve that in version 1 you have a name=value and in version 2 you need list?
trinque: jurov: I cannot see how it *doesn't* solve that
mircea_popescu: he makes them all a tree.
mircea_popescu: including the leaves.
mircea_popescu: of the leaves.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it requires a hard guarantee you will never want more than 10 categories at any level. << No, only on the top level... After that you wade into the horror of Cutter numbers
mircea_popescu: only needs infinity diskspace to declare a constant.
ascii_field is blithering at the sheer amount of litter that cpanel leaves in every conceivable aspect of system
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo cutter numbers are a kludgy bolt-on!
trinque: postgresql can easily produce an array from columns in rows
trinque: that is an aggregation
ascii_field: there's perhaps half a meg of generated 'do not edit!!!111!!!' crapolade in every config
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Kludgy and bolted on to original spec
mircea_popescu: ascii_field hey, it's data!
trinque: I can also easily produce a new table which materializes the output of some view
trinque: I can then delete the base table and call the new materialized table the canonical data
trinque: and this ad nauseum
mircea_popescu: so what's keeping you!!eleven
trinque: the point here is missed; I'm probably not articulating it well
mircea_popescu: speaking of : mind making deedbot- autovoice yet ?
trinque: sure, last weekend was eaten by work, but I'll try to work it in soon
trinque: couple days or so
trinque: mircea_popescu: what I was referring to above is like the system catalog in SQL
trinque: lets say you alter a table with some operation; were that operation data, you could programmatically alter views against the old version to be compatible with the new, to some extent
trinque: obviously if information was lost in the change, you cannot
trinque: but if the AST of the queries is represented as data you can find that out by joining it against the schema
assbot: WinFS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1J769PP )

trinque: the earlier thread I think well represented the lay of the land
trinque: having the canonical representation plaintext and readable I think is a fine thing
mats: ben_vulpes: windows for fun and profit
trinque: having history machine readable and enforced is I think also a fine thing
trinque: from there, perhaps no existing tool satisfies both
jurov: i don't remember anything about enforcing history
trinque: git may be several conflated problems
trinque: jurov: I remember saying it.
trinque: and it's in teh logs
ben_vulpes: <jurov> benjy just needed to vent some steam << naw i just wanted to restart an ancient thread
jurov: oh i GC'd you
jurov: not you, trinque
jurov: anyway, primary is there's verifiable autorship and readable content of patches, plus clear repeatable way to combine the patches
williamdunne: One of those is a social issue, the other is solved by not accepting pulls from dickheads, no?
trinque: jurov: indeed, that last bit is what I've been harping on
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: what is a pull?
jurov: triuque yes, but it does not necessarily equal to managing history
williamdunne: ben_vulpes: I don't know if this exists outside of GitHub (I rather assumed it does) but when you fork a repo so its your own version of it, you make changes to your own copy and then request that your changes are merged into the core repo
trinque: pull requests are github
mircea_popescu: <trinque> the idea needs further development before anyone executes << he has a point, and while attempted executions would prlly be useful iterations, it IS a timesink.
ben_vulpes: no, that's the point i wish to make. you're conflating github with git.
ben_vulpes: and i'm not even an expert on the finer points of the vcexen in the wild.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i suspect in this sense git may be TOO easy to use. at least in some aspects.
williamdunne: Ah, my bad.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: dude i guarantee you that git is too easy to use.
ben_vulpes: not only for mission-critical shit like therealbitcoin, but even my own work.
Adlai: jurov: actually, you can go to .git and start reading to a much larger degree than you can do so for .darcs; git provides a provably-attributable signed directory (ie, signed file hierarchy), whereas darcs is a signed diff from... whatever th efuck came before it
jurov: yes, linus t. pulls changes from email, not using github
trinque: this idea that the tool controls the user's behavior is absurd
trinque: maybe when dealing with children
trinque: this is a distinct point from advocating git
trinque: the tool does not drive the fucking user
williamdunne: Git has pull requests in this version: http://git-scm.com/
mircea_popescu: <trinque> the tool does not drive the fucking user << o really.
mircea_popescu: what is this idealism!
Adlai: williamdunne: the problem is that git doesn't provide human-verifiable provenance
Adlai: (whereas darcs does, but it has its own clusterfuck of troubles)
trinque: mircea_popescu: when holding my gun should I wear an arm brace such that I am prevented from blowing my brains out?
mircea_popescu: no, but that's not the angle being discussed.
mircea_popescu: the angle being discussed is : give a man a hammer, suddenly he's looking for nails.
mircea_popescu: tools drive behaviour. in spades.
trinque: that is a fair point
trinque: but should a hammer be called for, one limited such that it cannot be weaponized will also be gimped for hammering
Adlai concludes that he should a) write the btc-dev-darcs-wrapper, and b) keep it to himself, so other people have to write their own
trinque: ^ I don't like that for the record; let every man forge his own AK
trinque: surely there's a balance to be struck.
Adlai: AKs are fucking simple
trinque: alright, you forge one while I'm loading
Adlai: no offense but have you ever fired an assault rifle?
mircea_popescu: Adlai how about b) and make it good enough so its effect upon the world is to make more people of the like adlai can stand
mircea_popescu: as opposed to more idiots.
Adlai: mircea_popescu: aiui, anything that does not consist of 'cat | /dev/eip' is not good enough
mircea_popescu: there is such a thing as tools that make people smarter.
trinque: Adlai | no offense but have you ever fired an assault rifle? << this is in no way relevant to what I said
mircea_popescu: and there are tools that make people dumber.
trinque: and an automatic no, rifles yes
Adlai: rifles are for hunters. war is not a hunt, it is war
mircea_popescu: isn't man the best game ?
Adlai: 'long pig'
trinque: obviously, and so you're going to have every soldier cast the metal for his own gun?
trinque: if you have time for that, great; must not be much of a war
mircea_popescu: trinque you know he was being facetious right ?

williamdunne: At what point does expenditure become investment?
ben_vulpes: never.
ben_vulpes: investment is predicated on a return.
mircea_popescu: ima have to dig up that ancient article somehow...
williamdunne: If you expect expenditure to result in a return?
mircea_popescu: rationally ?
ben_vulpes: this return cannot be "happiness" or any such.
mircea_popescu: does your expenditure CAUSE the return ? is it merely coincidental with the return ? is it merely halucinatorily related ?
williamdunne: I mean monetary
ben_vulpes: much as the girlies would like to "invest in their quality of life", such is just purchasing a big of hedonism.

trinque: much more reasonable
mircea_popescu: williamdunne let's go through this, it will be instructive. so, case III, halucinatorily related.
mircea_popescu: guy pays fortune teller for good stuff in the future. good stuff happens in the future.
mircea_popescu: the relation between the "investment" and the "return" is purely hallucinated.
mircea_popescu: case II : coincidental. guy buys lottery ticket. someone wins the lottery.
williamdunne: someone, or guy?
mircea_popescu: while it's true that the somebody who wins might even be the guy, the fact remains that someone'd win whether the guy bought or didn't buy ticket.
mircea_popescu: same thing with "investing in children". sure, you send schmuck to college, and someone 20 years later is going to be well educated.
mircea_popescu: maybe your schmuck. maybe not.
mircea_popescu: case I : causal. this satisfies both implication : with investment there NECESSARILY exists return ; without investment there NECESSARILY doesn't exist return.
mircea_popescu: like, guy going to homestead in 1800s utah. if he goes, there's going to be his homestead. if he doesn't go... there isn't going to be.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> what'd i run it on ? << it's not actually such a bad idea to render the whole thing as flat files and do something cleverish w/comments

ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> in cpanelworld, yeah it does. << haha what is this madness
mircea_popescu: i think asciilifeform had an aneurism meanwhile
williamdunne: If I invest in college, and the outcome is a law degree, with which I become a lawyer, how is that not investment?
williamdunne: I understand with a gender studies degree though..
mircea_popescu: if you pay for your own degree, it is.
mircea_popescu: if your dad pays... eh.
williamdunne: What if someone else pays for a degree and in return they get a % of my salary?
mircea_popescu: you being their slave ?
williamdunne: Their slave? Its a mutual agreement from the beginning
mircea_popescu: yes, yes. but is it a mutual agreement of that kind, where you're teh slavegirl.
williamdunne: If you acknowledge La Serenissima are you its slavegirl because you pay 0.1%?

mircea_popescu: but the python stuff you ran into is pure linux,
mircea_popescu: the misplaced apache is pure linux
asciilifeform: the requiring apache (and not just any, but cpanel's custom) is cpanelism
mircea_popescu: except it doesn't require apache to run a script
mircea_popescu: you can just have your python run off cron, and dump stuff into mysql
mircea_popescu: then fish it out for web display
asciilifeform: mno. need to serve some static pgs
mircea_popescu: so create them as files
asciilifeform: it has to be nginx or a (human) apache
mircea_popescu: apache will serve them if in the right directories
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> you can just have your python run off cron << how both will restart synchronized ?
asciilifeform: this is ludicrous
asciilifeform: i want the two to restart together
asciilifeform: and i want -one- log
mircea_popescu: the wto who
asciilifeform: static and dynamic content servers
asciilifeform: normally this is achieved by having apache (or nginx) pass through to, e.g., python
mircea_popescu: you want a python script to be executed on page load ?
asciilifeform: it isn't a script
asciilifeform: it's a continuous process
asciilifeform: that serves up http
asciilifeform: read the src if interested (under the user i created)
asciilifeform: simplest possible thing
mircea_popescu: so you have your own web server written in python ?
asciilifeform: not own, l0l
mircea_popescu: move cpanel's apache to a diff port, and allocate 80 to yours.
asciilifeform: the whole thing was written in about a day, if you recall, in a mighty hurry
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: again i don't want python serving up statics
asciilifeform: because it is ludicrous
mircea_popescu: then have python drop the statics in /home/whatever and apache will automagically serve them ?
asciilifeform: would like to run the fucking app without changes
asciilifeform: like normal people.
asciilifeform: on normal computer.
mircea_popescu: cpanel has nothing to do with this.
asciilifeform: normal people can get mod_wsgi if they want it.
asciilifeform: cpanel - no.
asciilifeform: normal people can get -pure- nginx
asciilifeform: cpanel - again, no
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> move cpanel's apache to a diff port, and allocate 80 to yours. <
asciilifeform: and apache still runs, eats cycles for fuck knows what
mircea_popescu: and if python.h fails, you prolly don't have th epaths set up right, it'll fai lthe same with or without some derpy package manager.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well actually it wouldn't run, especially if you kill that port in firewall.
mircea_popescu: but you can stop the service in any case.
asciilifeform: still end up with cpanelism autogenned crapolade in every single fucking thing in /etc
asciilifeform: hence the traditional 'cpanel is not removable' dictum
mircea_popescu: linux doesn't work. any of it. picking some random idiocy to make an example of is futile.
mircea_popescu: gentoo is a piece of shit. debian is a piece of shit. centos is a piece of shit.
mircea_popescu: apache is a piece of shiot. so is nginx. so is everytrhiong else.
asciilifeform genuinely wonders if mircea_popescu ever runs any www gadget that isn't a php bloggatron
mircea_popescu: nothing works, everything';s made by idiots.
mircea_popescu: nope. why would i even bother with www except for a blog
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is almost but not entirely right. we are, for instance, presently speaking through an ancient atlantian tech that sorta works.
mircea_popescu: oh get the fuck out. ircd ? THIS works ?
asciilifeform: i said 'sorta worx'
mircea_popescu: SO DOES EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!
mircea_popescu: foss, the wonderful world of 90%
mircea_popescu: "we almost did a job!!1"
mircea_popescu: this, btw, is my constraint. fuck "fits in head", i dun care.
mircea_popescu: DO.THEWHOLE.JOB.
asciilifeform: 'fits in head' is how you actually -know- that x 'did whole job'
asciilifeform: anything else - is conjecture.
asciilifeform: it is also how you know that x did -nothing but- whole job.
asciilifeform: so 'fits in head' is 'part of a balanced diet' with 'does whole job' (otherwise brick 'fits in head')

asciilifeform: can be used

BingoBoingo starting to believe that Stan's gentoo build is so far from normal "linux" might as well be called Stannix nao
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it is perfectly normal
mircea_popescu: a further three day experiment in the "linux is worthless and broadly unusable" meme. i guess it needed more documentation.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo not in the slightest. just that drones are cheaper than people. certainly with the us legal system such as it is. see mp's piece on 'how to go out in a blaze of glory'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Normal in terms of distance from your box to median boxen
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: again, entirely normal
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: phuctor, for instance, presently runs on 'the world's worst hoster', aws
asciilifeform: and did not require any wizardry there
BingoBoingo: When did AWS overtake Godaddy.com for that honor?
asciilifeform: when opened doors ?
asciilifeform: (charges by cpu cycle)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently not the worst.
mircea_popescu: the only worse alternative to the worlds 2nd most common hoster seems to be... the world's MOST common.
mircea_popescu: ya know ?
decimation: aws does seem to have some degree of ddos protection
williamdunne: Heh? AWS worse than GoDaddy?
mircea_popescu: well, alf worse. "whatever i'm using currently"

mircea_popescu: yeah, thinking about it hey mike_c maybe cheaper than investigating is altering the date format to numeric ?
BingoBoingo: Nah, what's missing is me cataloguing all of the plants growning in the front flowerbeds, looking them up, and discovering the bulk of them are cardiotoxic.

mircea_popescu: what was it ?
mike_c: k. i also fixed the big wot graph cutting off some names on the sides
mike_c: changing the date format helped. went from AP style "Dec. 12, 2012", "April 12, 2012" to more simple short format "Dec 12, 2012", "Apr 12, 2012"
mike_c: JS date parser was choking on former

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'What's a manager to do with a heap of stuff that isn't managed and doesn't wish to be?' 'Burn it ?' (from mircea_popescu's site) << pure gold << This is how I've been getting exercise these past couple weeks. Shovel and glyphosate + troclopyr... Actual fire comes later
mircea_popescu: mike_c sounds like secret overflow eh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform story of my lyf.
mircea_popescu: decimation that is not why large corporations exist. large corporations exist because it is cheaper for the socialist state to interact with larger items than with smaller items.
BingoBoingo: "burndown" is the only solution to certain problems in horticulture
decimation: he does hypothesize that later
mircea_popescu: that's why 100 employers of 10 employees each need a pile of paperwork from city hall, whereas one employer of 1000 employees gets free money from city hall
decimation: "I do think that government often tilts the scale in favor of large organizations. The high fixed cost of regulatory compliance is one factor. Government has been a key customer in industries like aerospace, information technology, and finance, and the fixed costs of selling to government are very high, because of all of the hoops that you have to jump through."
mircea_popescu: hoops my foot.
mircea_popescu: blackwater "sold to the goverment" by jumpiong through the following hoops : "if you send anyone to investigate us, we'll just kill them"
mircea_popescu: haliburton didn't even bother, just "lost" a trillion.
decimation: yeah, good point, this
mircea_popescu: if you were going to be raped,
decimation: the corruption in selling physical goods to usg is nowhere near the size of the corruption of 'selling services'
mircea_popescu: would you prefer being raped by ten thousand slimy worms
mircea_popescu: or by a bull ?
decimation: 1024 chickens?
mircea_popescu: governments everywhere always prefer the bull in that equation. tho their ideal is a herd of goats.
mircea_popescu: apparently easier to hallucinate "a relationship" with the bull.
decimation: well, the government believes they can make the bull like them
mircea_popescu: eeexactly.
BingoBoingo: What socialism truly deserves is taking it from a duck of extraordinary size
decimation: and of course it is very much in bull's interest to pretend
decimation: as long as the slop keeps rolling
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2015 01:42:33; decimation: then I heard this podcast: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/02/glenn_reynolds.html << "Guest: It's funny--one of my friends, who has been a long-term, upper level bureaucrat in Washington said to me his favorite phenomenon to see is these people coming through these usually politically-appointed jobs and, he says: They think everybody loves them. And then they leave the job and they realize that eve
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2015 01:42:35; decimation: that once they are not in the job any more they realize they don't have nearly as many friends as they thought they did. The smarter ones do know this. And that's why so many[?] hang onto power. "

TomServo: Is that still true today?
asciilifeform: mostly.
asciilifeform: TomServo: check out the pogoplug netbsd saga for one example.
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah, moore's law has been pretty dead since 2005
decimation: note, transistor sizes have still shrunk, but clock rates haven't gone up
asciilifeform: decimation: heat
decimation: and it's painfully obvious that intel and friends have no idea how to actually make use of their sea of transistors
decimation: other than "do more of what we have been doing for 30 years"
asciilifeform: considering that the entire point of the industry was to enable microshit bloat...
asciilifeform: (yes, i'd love to live on a planet where moore's law was for something else)
decimation: I predict that in the future this whole era of 'multi-core' manufacturing will be seen as crazy
BingoBoingo: TomServo: asciilifeform was a FreeBSD man, but device drivers pushed him away, if I recall correctly nao CLANG+LLVM keeps him away
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: openbsd is gcc-based
asciilifeform: it's mainly the devices.
asciilifeform: i also have boxes that run closedsource linux crapolade (e.g., xilinx toolchain)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Indeed. OpenBSD is GCC based and still weird on devices. Also generally weird.
TomServo: pogoplug and such I understand.. but how does it factor in the cpanel debate?
asciilifeform: TomServo: it doesn't
BingoBoingo: Cpanel is another retardation
asciilifeform: TomServo: mircea_popescu found somewhere a server, graciously offered for use in s.nsa. but it turned out to be running a severely mutilated linux.

decimation: not only does ssl enable the fucktarded certificate crypto, it enables nefarious 'customized' behavior

asciilifeform: heartbleed2-everywhere
asciilifeform: as well as 'war on folks who sniff own lan'

decimation: it exactly enables a 'walled-garden' model
mircea_popescu: decimation politically they're pleasant,
BingoBoingo would very much like triclopyr over ip protocol-protocol
mircea_popescu: but technologically inept.
mircea_popescu: to this date i dunno wtf happens that i end up with corrupted ips.
decimation: mircea_popescu: possibly shitty lan hardware?
decimation: in theory it is still possible to sniff ssl traffic, but it's quite complex
decimation: and makes it impossible to have a 'triangular' model of networking
mircea_popescu: either set req.http.X-TVIP = client.ip; in varnish fucks up and sets the wrong thing ; or else, mod_remoteip fucks up the RemoteIPHeader X-TVIP conversion.
