In practice, this setup can pose a slight problem.''
verisimilitude: ``Suppose you were to write a program that does the same kind of work that conventional toolchains do, but you managed to implement and distribute it as a program that can run entirely in a web browser—entirely in the browser (without delegating to a server somewhere)—you will have created something that is almost certainly less hassle to get up and running than the setup associated with any of the conventional toolchains thems

verisimilitude: Oh, if only we could, say, have the computer compute these changes for us.
asciilifeform warned loong ago that the days of lin. kernel being buildable on sane gcc are numbered
verisimilitude: What's insane about the newer GCC versions again?
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: see logs.
signpost has a kernel preserved in amber that builds on 4.9.4
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: see e.g.
dulapbot: (trilema) 2017-06-02 asciilifeform: on top of this, gcc5 happily removes , e.g., memset
dulapbot: (trilema) 2019-01-19 asciilifeform: the gcc5+ gnomes, occupy selves with cranking out 'mandatory' kludges for intelism; removing backend support for vintage, marginally-sane archs (alpha, hitachi, etc); gluing-with-broken-glass various incompatibilities to prevent coad developed under 5+ from building under 4.x; inserting 'optimizations' that snake around naive cprogrammer attempts at bounds-constraint; and so forth.
asciilifeform: not to mention various additional boobytraps against static linking
verisimilitude: I don't see how the snaking around is bad.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: do you understand how 'redundant' memset is used ?
verisimilitude: I referred to ``inserting 'optimizations' that snake around naive cprogrammer attempts at bounds-constraint''.
verisimilitude: I see so many C language programmers boast about their magic spells, but then they cry when they didn't actually know what they were doing.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: gcc5 will arbitrarily decide that bounds checks against exploitable overflow, memset to wipe secrets from process memory, etc. 'redundant' and silently remove.
asciilifeform: all of this not least bit 'accidental', but from nsa marching orders given to the muppets.
asciilifeform: there's an identifiable transition point in all of these opensores monstrosities where went from simply shoddy to actively wrecker-engineered. for gcc, that point was v. 5.
verisimilitude: Alright.
signpost: verisimilitude: resist the urge to convince yourself you're very smart for memorizing solutions to increasingly elaborate submission games imposed upon you by your owners. before you know it, you'll be chanting BTFD like mats here.
signpost: "buy the fucking dip"
verisimilitude: I already have, signpost.
asciilifeform: whatever happrnd to the ancient wisdom of 'dun play any numbers game you haven't rigged yerself'.
verisimilitude: I'm aware of the memset issues, the ``no really, do the fucking memset'' version of memset, and others, but this is just from casual reading.
verisimilitude: I also enjoy mocking C language programmers, so this is from where most of the anti-knowledge came.
verisimilitude: This is also why I don't go to the same lengths as others here; I don't want to bother with a clean GNU/Linux, just a new system entirely; I'll aim for an ideal, or get nothing.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: the telltale leper's bell of nsa-hijacked opensores is 'glued with broken glass', where deliberate booby such that you cannot easily remove the 'misfeature', cuz 'errything depends on it', and where impossible to write against old & new version compatibly, anyffin that works with the 'new' automagically chokes the old
verisimilitude: SystemD is exemplary.
signpost: verisimilitude: no such thing as a clean linux; better to think of it as keeping the old pickup truck running.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: the sad fact is that unless one takes efforts to preserve a working 2000s unixlike, soon enuff there won't be ~on what~ to even write 'ideal new system. you'll be sitting in front of an ipad or equiv
verisimilitude: I just use GuixSD, which broke, and another machine uses OpenBSD.
verisimilitude: I should purchase an ice40 and start playing with it already; I was thinking about an ideal system, and realized my thinking on it had grown a tad fuzzy.
asciilifeform found yrs ago that openbsd -- colonized by fungus and abandoned all attempts to salvage
dulapbot: (trilema) 2017-01-13 asciilifeform: i soured almost totally on openbsd when i labouriously set up a box, with all of the proggies i rely on for daily use, and found that emacs COULD NOT be de-poetteringized without eschewing the ports system entirely
verisimilitude: I have pieces of an ideal system, but the whole keeps walking further away.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: there's an unsexy, boring, but vital chore -- to keep the entire fucking concept of a computer from similarly 'walking away'
verisimilitude: Just build Emacs from source, then.
verisimilitude: Sure, but what a horror, asciilifeform.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: soon enuff you'll need to build compiler & deps also by hand from src
asciilifeform: ( 'on what' is also q that'll have to answer )
asciilifeform: the fungus doesn't sleep, doesn't give up, and doesn't intend to stop at some arbitrary point.

dulapbot: (trilema) 2017-04-02 saifedean: good day, gentlemen
verisimilitude: Say, asciilifeform, while Pest's Direct Text provides a whitelist operation, there's not a corresponding blacklist mode. I'll make an example.
verisimilitude: Let's say I want to discuss a piece of media, and ``spoil'' something, and so I announce this first.
verisimilitude: One or two users don't want to read it.
verisimilitude: Sending a private message to everyone else would be a bother.
verisimilitude: The one or two users could disconnect and reconnect. There's no such Pest operation, however.
verisimilitude: A blacklist could be built out of Direct Text, but it may be worth considering a command for such things.
verisimilitude: The primary issue is the unbounded nature of a blacklist in comparison.
verisimilitude: One could imagine, say, ``Don't send my next message with hash checksum of ??? to the name payload of this message.'', as one solution.
dulapbot: Logged on 2022-02-24 17:30:31 verisimilitude: Here's a question, signpost: Wouldn't it be far easier to tame Minix than Linux, not that it seems to need taming anyway?
dulapbot: (trilema) 2015-08-09 asciilifeform: one notable attempt at 'fits in book but usable' was minix. a failed attempt.
asciilifeform: ( and see also e.g. )
dulapbot: (trilema) 2015-03-11 ascii_field: trinque: but before you can even have this line of thought, find a stock chipset to which you can even port 'minix' without -any- blobs or -any- detectable dysfunction
verisimilitude: So it's a driver issue?
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: not only. (the 'driver issue' is that if one in fact adds in errything req'd to make tolerably current irons run, get ~at least~ same mass as current linux)
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: rly is a cmachine issue.
asciilifeform: minix ( or even better example, 'sysv for pc' ) is acorn of same shit-oak as erry other x86 cliquishit os.

asciilifeform: the 'smallness' gives deceptive appearance of being less objectionable. but when 1 of these taken up and expanded into adult system, along any path whatsoever, result inevitably resembles linux.
asciilifeform: for fundamental reasons.

asciilifeform: simply for instance.
asciilifeform: or see if can come up w/ how to reduce # of various buffers req'd.
asciilifeform: + plenty of other open problems in log.
verisimilitude: I'll do that, regarding the buffers.
verisimilitude: I've already thought of one reduction.
verisimilitude: So, we need a time buffer, for rejecting messages.
verisimilitude: However, the ordered list of messages will be maintained as a file, say.
asciilifeform: or even better, read spec entirely & write a commentary.
verisimilitude: A better operating system would make it easy to combine these.
verisimilitude: I've already read it.
asciilifeform: we aint got 'better os' tho, verisimilitude
asciilifeform: may be obv. but must remind.
