mircea_popescu: but you're familiar enough with my thinking to be aware how dimly i view this proposition that kids should be encouraged to "guess" what "the words mean in context" rather than look it up
decimation: ;;ud feminine
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=feminine | Feminine means "What pertains to a woman". There are no qualifications. Whatever a woman does is feminine, because they are a woman, and they are doing ...
mircea_popescu: hehe well yeah, here's the problem : nobody;'s written the trilema dictionary yet, and the author itself feels unequal to the task of defining the feminine, which is why i passed above.
mircea_popescu: which means you're quite stuck. but perhaps if you had a question or some statement that could be tested or something ?
mircea_popescu: ie, more context of what you plan to use that definition for.
decimation: I guess I was thinking about where the surveillance state fell on the urban-rural axis - it seems to me that it is ultra-urban (Roman). While it might not be able to process infinite information, what if the level of information it could process is 'good enough' to turn the entire world into Rome?
mircea_popescu: i think this may be a flaw of modelling. consider this point : one of the ways nero got a bad reputation was through going out at night and assaulting random people in the street.
mircea_popescu: this was predicated on them not knowing who he was, and furthermore, on him not knowing who they were.
mircea_popescu: doesn't this much unknowing throw a hole in your rome model ?
mircea_popescu: (he once or twice got beat up pretty bad on account of it, too)
BingoBoingo: Well in contrast Julius spent months in pirate captivity threatening them with crucifiction and managed to live to see his ransom arrive so he could carry out the threat
mircea_popescu: for that matter, rome did not have income tax, or consumption tax. it had a capitation, and some trade licensing fees.
decimation: Yeah I do see how that throws a wrench in the model. Here's a real-world example: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/philg/2014/08/09/obama-and-new-england-aviation-businesses-start-their-vacation/ << greenspun details how Obama travels with an enormous entourage, which usg can't afford - this fact doesn't occur to anyone 'in the loop'
assbot: Philip Greenspun's Weblog » Obama and New England aviation businesses start their vacation
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why people keep thinking of it in terms of a sort of older us without tablets. it's so reactionary in fact it'd put medieval england to shame.
mircea_popescu: decimation the point is valid, and people with a clue ocasionaly make it
BingoBoingo: Julius Ceasar would make the redditard's case for waiting until the time comes, if only they knew of him
mircea_popescu: (such as, the worst thing a contemporary president can do for a disaster area ? travel there.)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo oh but i am aware. and the reason i wake up so chipper & cheerful i nthe mornings is quite a large pile of this, where the oppressed have the key to their freedom in their hand and somehow omitted to going to school the day its use was taught.
decimation: the guys 'in the loop' with all of this supposed knowledge apparently can't differentiate between luxury resorts in Massachusetts and a third-world hellhole
nubbins`: nice to meet your disaster, here's 10 tons of co2
nubbins`: or "plant air"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` that's not it. a buncha fuctards have to be hosted somewhere, and they don't carry tents to camp in.
mircea_popescu: and a bunch is like 1k people by now.
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: What are your thoughts on archival inks?
nubbins`: ah, care to direct me a bit more than that?
mircea_popescu: no nubbins` you gotta give the long form abofe!
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Something that pairs well with the lifespan of cotton fiber paper.
BingoBoingo: Looking for something that might beat the old standard of India Ink, but as far as I know that is the state of the art
assbot: Air Force blames crew for C-5 crash | The News Journal | delawareonline.com
nubbins`: india ink is pretty solid, as long as it's marked as archival quality
nubbins`: pascale is using some sort of watercolor pastes these days that come in impossibly small tubes, i'll check them out next time i'm upstairs
BingoBoingo: Interesting
decimation: nubbins`: are you going to use acid-free paper?
nubbins`: decimation, natch
nubbins`: BingoBoingo, winsor & newton is the brand
BingoBoingo honestly doesn't care much about acidity of paper, good stuff gets permethrin, capscaisin, and nystatin anyway
asciilifeform recalls thread on hanbot's site re: smelling of books & shudders
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah when I read your comment it brought to mind my youth: my friend's homes each had a different smell which struck me as I entered
decimation: usually a bad one if they had pets
asciilifeform: ah see, the comment wasn't about smells in the usual sense
asciilifeform: as in, things an adult can actually reliably smell.
mircea_popescu: supposedly this is the most striking quality of a functioning harem.
mircea_popescu: the variety of scent.
asciilifeform: decimation: so it wasn't a matter of what kind of animal there was the dung of
decimation: no, it was something more - including all the clean supplies, carpets, foods, habits
asciilifeform: this was the kind of smell that varied from room to room in a house.
mircea_popescu: pets do have a print, for sure.
asciilifeform gives up on trying to describe it because it was not attributable to any familiar object like shit, piss, food, carbol, etc.
mircea_popescu: never give up.
asciilifeform: handiest way to answer this question is build the amp & show firsthand.
asciilifeform: one day.
decimation: hehe perhaps after a rich prince has funded your secure terminal
asciilifeform: re: story with airplanes: i once saw something quite like this in life. was in wash., d.c., and an entire sixteen or so blocks were barricaded off, no one knew why. some days later, newspapers triumphantly described dick cheney's dinner at a certain restaurant in middle of said place.
asciilifeform: these folks actually picture themselves as 'chinese emperors', with 'forbidden city' conjured up anywhere they like.
asciilifeform: city police, for the duration, becomes their private army, etc.
decimation: which would be one thing if they were the doge of venice
decimation: but these guys also conjure the salaries for all of their minions out of thin air
asciilifeform: the other pertinent 'psychiatric' observation here is that the waste decried in the airplane piece is - mandatory. consider - in savage tribe where, e.g, hats are worm, chieftain might have longest hat. or he might get the choicest slice of long pig, whichever. in 'consumption' tribe - modern usa - what badge of rank for royalty?
asciilifeform: one ought to be surprised they don't burn the airplane on the public square every time.
decimation: yeah that's a good point
asciilifeform: this kind of thing can be relied on to carry on - until can't
decimation: it's an elaborate cargo-cult of security with real humans acting as the 'cargo plane'
decimation: and even though the president has very little personal authority his underlings are more than happy to throw this security party because they each get a part
asciilifeform: don't forget the machines and their vendors. various parts with high-threes or low-fours 'MTBF', periodic mandatory maintenance, etc. - churn inventory.
decimation: hehe yeah. as one commentator put it (on greenspun's site): "I doubt that Obama (or Bush in his day) even thinks about what kind of travel arrangements are being made on his behalf. It’s the lackeys around them who like to be part of a grand spectacle, compounded by unfettered risk aversion in the federal and MA security apparatus."
asciilifeform: people like to laugh at 'golden toilet' - but the latter is potentially heirloom item, will show no detectable wear for a thousand years
asciilifeform: american 'golden toilets' tend to fall into rust if you forget them in a closet for a year.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> and even though the president has very little personal authority his underlings are more than happy to throw this security party because they each get a part << quite.
decimation: asciilifeform: but the trouble is that instead of conjuring actual heirloom objects, the usg method is to piss away the money on 'airlifting' an SUV from DC to New England
mircea_popescu: if i were president i'd just walk there.
decimation: as if you couldn't just drive there in 4 hours
decimation: Or load up on any of 100000 trucks who move such cars as a trade (or trains)
mircea_popescu: said no roman emperor after caracalla, for the very reason that made charlemagne great : he was nothing much outside of the chief of the guards.
asciilifeform: u.s. presidential car is an infamous laughing-stock - broke down recently in england (?) and they had one hell of a time finding a shop that would attempt repair
asciilifeform: (and, presumably, properly 'aryan')
mircea_popescu: meanwhile over here, i ran into a chamber minority leader (they have like six) in a coffee shop by the courthouse.
decimation: supposedly the constitution forbids forcing citizens to quarter troops, but apparently giving up their livelihoods and ruining their vacations so usg can have a security part is 'ok for them'
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> don't forget the machines and their vendors. various parts with high-threes or low-fours 'MTBF', periodic mandatory maintenance, etc. - churn inventory. <<< would seem to contradict asciilifeform> u.s. presidential car is an infamous laughing-stock - broke down recently in england (?) and they had one hell of a time finding a shop that would attempt repair
mircea_popescu: these can't both be the case.
asciilifeform: sure it can.
decimation: the mtbf numbers are all theoretical
asciilifeform: they neglected to bring 'lockheed' - or whoever normally diddles that machine - along for the ride.
mircea_popescu: decimation point being the vultures in question'd have made good money out of it.
mircea_popescu: that far huh ?
asciilifeform: if i recall, it was eventually flown (!) back for repairs.
mircea_popescu: decimation re heirloom items. anyone know who cato porcius was, and why he got that name ?
asciilifeform: other detail was that it was done in by a ragged bit of cement on road.
asciilifeform: (broke axle, if i remember)
asciilifeform: and this, with 'world's best armour' etc.
decimation: I only know of Cato the Elder
decimation: oh, same guy
mircea_popescu: he was a censor, and as a censor he had the authority to forbid luxury expenditures. which he did, by forbiding some types of textile, which were very expensive, all imported, and wore quickly.
mircea_popescu: the women - which, by that time, were mostly prostitutes - all hated him for it,
mircea_popescu: and what did they do ? they went to reddit to call him names!
mircea_popescu: all of it - quite feminine :)
decimation: the reddit of the time being the stall of some brother or something?
decimation: s/brother/ brothel/
mircea_popescu: well they had these bed-parties
mircea_popescu: (they didn't sit around the table. they... lay there)
BingoBoingo: !up ThickAsThieves
decimation: When I think of security paranoia among US leaders it reminds me of this story in the Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2049430/Royal-Navy-turn-guns-pointing-Michelle-Obamas-hotel-room-around.html
assbot: Royal Navy turn guns pointing at Michelle Obama's hotel room around | Mail Online
asciilifeform: decimation: lol, what a 'cruiser aurora' that would've been.

mircea_popescu: how so ?
assbot: Domain Suspension
decimation: I read it as a parable about GPG usability
mircea_popescu: but anyway, here's a rfc. in re this bet : http://bitbet.us/bet/854/ it calls for pierce to be a director. currently as per https://bitcoinfoundation.org/about/overview/ he seems to have been silently downgraded to member.
assbot: BitBet - Brock Pierce to resign at BTC Foundation :: 0.3 B (3%) on Yes, 10.08 B (97%) on No | closed 1 week 5 hours ago
assbot: Overview | The Bitcoin Foundation
BingoBoingo: Mac OS (which roughly excludes things with version numbers greater than 7.1) did this thing where options presented graphically reflected machine state. 7.5.1 and later along with the OS X bastard begin the breaking of correspondence with... nigger fingers
mircea_popescu: im going to have that as a yes, sometime tomorrow. if anyone wants to make an argument... you got about a day.
cazalla: wtf bitbet scam this is like the bfl bet
cazalla: sounds fair tbh, they must've done it on the sly not to bring attention to him
BingoBoingo: Oh Brock silently coup'd
mircea_popescu: s a funny testament to both his and their relative importance
mircea_popescu: that the only point at which anyone notices this is when a bitbet mod tries to close a bitbet bet.
decimation: or that 10 btc is enough to motivate changing their 'structure'
BingoBoingo: It really seems that their entire structure changed to confound the bet
cazalla: did he resign or do it willingly though
gernika: I'm not understanding the argument that, shall we say, the less fair skinned would be extinct if not transported to the americas. Seems to me like there are more deadly diseases originating from Africa that kill whites than the other way around. Whites trying to settle Africa near the equator died like tsetse flies.
BingoBoingo: Honestly an questionable interpretation may be they went from a board of directors to a board of members... odd presentation question, maybe leading to a trap, but totes niggarific
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo interesting poin tre appleos stuff. i never followed it any so i had no clue.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This is what happens when your first computer is an actual mac in 2000-2001
mircea_popescu: gernika so where is the great iroquis nation ?
cazalla: maybe it's like casino whereby brock says he is food and beverage director but really about the only thing he directed was the casino
mircea_popescu: (and by any measures it WAS a great nation. greater than say, that-time italy)
BingoBoingo: Still it looks like Brock could lose this bet on webdesign points
mircea_popescu: cazalla yeah. right. so many punks grow up to be shadowlords.
gernika: mircea_popescu dead. I mean subsaharan africans though.
mircea_popescu: gernika land in africa is just as valuable as land in the midwest, as far as land goes.
mircea_popescu: imagiune there wasn't a massive african diaspora in the us. how would rhodesia have looked ?
BingoBoingo: The precendent where Brock looses this bet on web design grounds could set a great precedent
mircea_popescu: there wasn't a massive chicano diaspora at isabelle's court. how did mexico look /
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo wtf is one to do ?
cazalla: well look, bobby lee is named board member as well yet they were elected to same role
mircea_popescu: what role was it ?
mircea_popescu: "director of board membership" or something ?
cazalla: if board member, bad bet?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: To be fair I have great gains to make if the bet is resolved as yes, but... if such resolution makes muppets begin treating web documents as documents of record when they publich and maintain them... that would be a plus.
mircea_popescu: it can't really be a bad bet retroactively.
mircea_popescu: maybe the result ios a "this website is merely informational" disclaimer. as if lol.
BingoBoingo: I mean I'm not correcting attrocious sentences on my blog using the grounds that text is sacred.
cazalla: way back when shows those vacant seats as board members not directors
mircea_popescu: cazalla i find it distinctly riodiculous that nobody pointed this out prior.
mircea_popescu: for all the retarded nitpicks that make their way into bitbet comments...
BingoBoingo: I mean I am no where near as confident on this argument as when I Bitbet lawyered my way to a righteous win on S.DICE vs. S.BBET however this seems to instead harken back to luke-jr's BFL miner.

cazalla: why is bobby lee not still a director then
mircea_popescu: cazalla i am actually seeing a lot of merit in your position.
mircea_popescu: upon further consideration.
BingoBoingo: The argument I see in favor of no is largely a lack of resignation.
cazalla: unless bobby lee joined him for a pool party
BingoBoingo: Maybe get some pedo wiki lawyers on this case?
mircea_popescu: "The three pilots in the cockpit had a combined 10,000 hours of flying time in the C-5, and were backed by two flight engineers with a combined 12,000 hours in the air. "
mircea_popescu: dude gtfo.
mircea_popescu: im not buying this "so they suddenly became greenhorns" argument.
BingoBoingo: I mean they are presenting these people as something they weren't when the bet was opened.
decimation: yeah an alternative explanation is that the upgrade was actually a downgrade
mircea_popescu: decimation senator says that's not the case :)
BingoBoingo: The foundation may be trying to set a trap, where they assume board member should be assumed as a director on the board. In spite of that abusing the definition of both board and director
BingoBoingo: I feel comfortable though disclosing 1A8CEYzN75pCztEb9VmZg7ATFTtLmNS3qU was the address for my bet, HI AGENT BROACHWALA!!!11!!
BingoBoingo: It may be the way of the future that tards start combating BitBet by changing labels.
mircea_popescu: well... the problem is deeper than that. they're already combating sense by changing labels. take the board of directors : one used to have tro be a director first to be on that board.
mircea_popescu: nowadays... one wants to get on the board and this is presumed to make them a "director". over what ? heh.
decimation: I thought the whole idea of 'boards' in us corporate law is to create a body that is independent of the management
decimation: I would think the presumption would be that none of the board members are directors in the sense of holding management positions
BingoBoingo: decimation: Becasue directors are over management. But other forms of boards exist
mircea_popescu: someone just fucking crashed outside.
mircea_popescu: the street is one of the widest IN THE WORLD
mircea_popescu: and it's fucking empty.
decimation: drunk?
mircea_popescu: must be. the trunks of tuesday night god help us.
BingoBoingo: decimation: Drunk is not an explanation for a crash in itself
gernika: mircea_popescu ok I think I see your point, though it seems like colonialism within Africa would have been more influential in transferring technology, especially in Rhodesia, from where very few slaves probably originated or to where the educated descendants may have returned. Sierra Leone and Liberia, where a lot of descendants of slaves actually returned to are serious shit holes.

BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: What is your first language?
BingoBoingo: So RagnarDanneskjol How much of the conversation on this bet and the BTC Foundation's site thus far?
RagnarDanneskjol: i know i lack the eloquence of some of the big brains in here, but didnt think my grammers were that bad
RagnarDanneskjol: please rephrase the question
BingoBoingo: lol, I'm drunk. How much of the conversation on this bet and the BTC Foundation's site thus far and their interaction have you read on?
RagnarDanneskjol: none prior to our conversation - last I read brock's name was the press releases in May indicating he was refusing resignation
RagnarDanneskjol: anytime i see btc foundation, the eyes gloss over
BingoBoingo: Well... time passes at the moment, key words seem to be resigned and director. MP has a strong position on the word director.
RagnarDanneskjol: Ahh, regarding the verbiage on the wager, i read "resigns" as the key determining factor
BingoBoingo: The thing is RagnarDanneskjol breaking the BTC foundation can probably pay more dividens than golang BTCD
BingoBoingo: Right, resigns can be determining. So can director as well.
BingoBoingo: Welcome to the origins of a cluster fuck.
BingoBoingo: Because several months ago the BTC foundation advertised a board of directors, while now... the advertise a board of members.
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: Do you have a way to contact Brock for his input?
RagnarDanneskjol: right, it was a shrewd and tactful deciscion
RagnarDanneskjol: yes, I can visit the office anyday
RagnarDanneskjol: but he gives me the creeps
punkman: I thought Brock was the one that bet 10btc
BingoBoingo: But it doesn't appear to be shrewd
BingoBoingo: punkman: So did I. Still I want to contact him if I can.
punkman: BingoBoingo: it seems nobody put any real money down on yes, guessing clusterfuck was expected
BingoBoingo: punkman: I put about 0.1 on yes expecting a clusterfuck I could lose.
punkman: well as I see it, some people still have Director in their titles, Brock doesn't
BingoBoingo: One of the most amazing things about homo sapien biology is the separation of circulatory and lymphatic systems between the scrotum and testes
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
cazalla: the position that brock and bobby lee won were advertised as board members not directors
cazalla: having glossed over director/board member, i bet no as i thought brock the rock was a lock
BingoBoingo: cazalla: But if they were never directors Brock could also not resign from a directorship?
BingoBoingo: Brock is only a rock in the kiddie pool.
cazalla: rock spider
BingoBoingo: And I bet yes, because I thought the FBI was on our side instead of on my fucking doorstep.
BingoBoingo: The amount I put on yes was minimal compared to what that one nigger put on no.
cazalla: wonder if it is brock
BingoBoingo: I seriously would love the yes returns on that bet, but hate the hate if yes was interpreted the yes way.
BingoBoingo: Kinda why I want brock in this chan yesterday.
RagnarDanneskjol: so he can confirm or deny resignation?
RagnarDanneskjol: I doubt he would confirm either way

assbot: Bitcoin Foundation hit by resignations over new director| Reuters
punkman: they sure called him director a lot back then
BingoBoingo: punkman: But that was back then.
punkman: was there another "Executive Director" before matonis
BingoBoingo: The problem is the foundation is as solid as coco butter
assbot: New at /hashtag/TechweekLA?src=hash! Co-CEO of /JustFabOnline /brockpierce (/BTCFoundation) /sonnyvu (/Misfit) http://t.co/mbQSDebMrC http://t.co/ozNQbquP4y
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> The problem is the foundation is as solid as coco butter << quite.
assbot: /brockpierce Are you familiar with IRC at all? Would you care to join the /hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash-/Bitcoin_Assets channel for a bit of Q and A?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what can the guy do, practically ?
mircea_popescu: take an oath ?
cazalla: perhaps it's brock that tells the journos that he's the director
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: He can answer. Maybe not well, but in the worst case he can repent
BingoBoingo: I mean what can Obama do?
mircea_popescu: im just saying, generally to find an individuals position with an organisation, you need anyone but him
punkman: maybe ask Matonis then?
mircea_popescu: which is unclear who'd be. vesseneess is an asshole i wouldn't take the word of anyway, and nobody else is in charge there.
mircea_popescu: punkman is this the same matonis that got kicked out a while back and then went back in ?
punkman: no idea
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> which is unclear who'd be. vesseneess is an asshole i wouldn't take the word of anyway, and nobody else is in charge there. << Prime case where I get 30x on my money but fear how the niggers spin it.
punkman: what if Brock never were a director, wouldn't that make for a badbet?
punkman: to resign from a position you must have held the position at some point
punkman: in one of the foundation's IRS forms for 2013, only Matonis is listed as Executive Director and some girl as Assistant Director
BingoBoingo: If he were never a director that would, I think resolve as a "no"
cazalla: that's what i said earlier punkman
BingoBoingo: As you have to be a diretor to resign from directorship.
punkman: and it doesn't seem that board members hold any directorial duties
BingoBoingo: This revision from director board to memberboard makes everything so messy though.
BingoBoingo: It is a serious fucking Hearnia
BingoBoingo: Iodine Wipes!
BingoBoingo: Scalpel!
cazalla: way back when also lists karpeles as board member not director
assbot: The-Bitcoin-Foundation-Legal-Repo/Bylaws_of_The_Bitcoin_Foundation.md at master pmlaw/The-Bitcoin-Foundation-Legal-Repo GitHub
BingoBoingo: Not that blunt piece of shit cazalla, get me a fucking sharp #10!
cazalla: but when he resigned, the foundation said "Effective immediately, Mark Karpeles has submitted his resignation from the board of directors"
assbot: Bitcoin Foundation: Blog
punkman: they call it a board of directors in their bylaws, which are supposed to be current
BingoBoingo: diana_coman Halp, what is Ingles?
punkman: fukken words
punkman: how do they even work
BingoBoingo: punkman: But are their bylaws current with their actual operations? Are the nigger actually picking cotton in the field? These are hard fucking problems man.

BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: And that is in the middle of two options.
BingoBoingo: A board is nothing but what it can be composed of

RagnarDanneskjol: well, many boards have consultants, litigators, etc who participate as non-members

BingoBoingo: Closest thing I can think of to Tilapia are Oscars, another African cichlid.
jdanks: I met this mechanical engineer once. He tells us his life story. After an hour he invites us into his house and backyard and he had this wonderful custom pool with crazy skulls in the cement. He was gonna farm Tilapia one season then I think crawfish the next and they would eat each others' poo or something. He had it all figured out lol

BingoBoingo: The difficulty is, if you've lived this life (and not been a stupid git going la la la in a bubble) for a long time, you learn to do certain things on auto pilot that, to someone looking for a "suspicious person" may ring bells. e.g. Take different routes, stay very aware of surroundings and people, avoid cameras (who the hell wants to be on the internet besides Jerod?), and for God's sake, sit facing the door of the restaurant!

mircea_popescu: i musta missed that memo. what's so special about this 21st century that it can't eat the same oatmeal all the other 58 coming before it did ?
mircea_popescu: "1. systemd flies in the face of the Unix philosophy: "do one thing and do it well," representing a complex collection of dozens of tightly coupled binaries1. Its responsibilities grossly exceed that of an init system, as it goes on to handle power management, device management, mount points, cron, disk encryption, socket API/inetd, syslog, network configuration, login/session management, readahead, GPT partition disco
mircea_popescu: very, container registration, hostname/locale/time management, and other things."
mircea_popescu: ahahhaha.
mircea_popescu: no prng ? but why not :D
pankkake: except the distros init systems actually do that
pankkake: so, retards with no idea what they are talking about
pankkake: again, come back when you have used the things, and tried to do basic sysadmin stuff with those
mircea_popescu: systemd's journal files (handled by journald) are stored in a complicated binary format2, and must be queried using journalctl. This makes journal logs potentially corruptible, as they do not have ACID-compliant transactions. You typically don't want that to happen to your syslogs. The advice of the systemd developers? Ignore it. No, seriously. Oh, and there's embedded HTTP server integration (libmicrohttpd). QR codes
mircea_popescu: are served, as well, through libqrencode.
mircea_popescu: libmircohttpd ? srsly ?
mircea_popescu: By default, systemd saves core dumps to the journal, instead of the file system. Core dumps must be explicitly queried using coredumpctl4. Besides going against all reason, it also creates complications in multi-user environments (good luck running gdb on your program's core dump if it's dumped to the journal and you don't have root access)
mircea_popescu: ahahaha who the fuck designed this
pankkake: have you actually checked the validity of this list?
mircea_popescu: i mean sure, the "journal gets corrupted, fuck you, we're not fixing it" i can see. but then... dump all cores into it ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake i have nfi, this is my checking process. does it suck ?
pankkake: yeah, I don't know why I bother...

pankkake: there's "like" and "I have to actually do things with it"
pankkake: seriously, is this a joke?
mircea_popescu: pankkake which part ?
pankkake: the part of jumping of the "systemd is bad" bandwagon without any knowledge whatsoever
BingoBoingo: pankkake: this is *nix world, everything works!
punkman: pankkake: well I have no clue, but is it that systemd is not retarded, or that the alternatives suck
mircea_popescu: "It's also worth noting that systemd will refuse to start as a user instance, unless the system boots with it as well"
mircea_popescu: pankkake so far i see some glaringly bad design decisions (core in journal, srsly ?) and some meat to the "they're trying to hijack linux" allegations. (srsly, this shit is too good to run as a user instance ?)
mircea_popescu: i don't particularly give a shit anyway, not like i;ve been seriously contemplating running contemporary distros anywhere anyway.
mircea_popescu: "systemd clusters itself into PID 1. Due to it controlling lots of different components, this means that there are tons of scenarios in which it can crash and bring down the whole system. But in addition, this means that plenty of non-kernel system upgrades will now require a reboot."
mircea_popescu: how about that one roflmao.
mircea_popescu: srsly, it does all that AND it does it all as a single pid, AND it fixes which pid ? help me rwanda, what is this, microshit's fired a lot of "engineers" ?

mircea_popescu: and why's he so touchy anyway.
mircea_popescu: "11. Ultimately, systemd's parasitism is symbolic of something more than systemd itself. It shows a radical shift in thinking by the Linux community. Not necessarily a positive one, either. One that is vehemently postmodern, monolithic, heavily desktop-oriented, choice-limiting, isolationist, reinvents the flat tire, and just a huge anti-pattern in general. If your goal is to pander to the lowest common denominator, so

pankkake: it's a bunch of shell scripts that do just that
mircea_popescu: well yes, but these seem a bunch of binaries instead ?
pankkake: yes, and?
pankkake: I'm sick and tired of talking in riddles
mircea_popescu: if i don't like what a script does, i edit it. if i don't like what a binary does, i ... ?
pankkake: you edit your init system really?
mircea_popescu: i edit everything. i actually learned to program by randomly poking and peeking in the z80 memory.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, systemd is what, the pulseaudio guy and this guy, right ?

Yet as an ex-cypherpunk and crypto software developer, as soon as I started using Linux years ago, I noted that all the major distributions used wat

mircea_popescu: "As for the algorithms themselves, the math, many like DSA are actually overtly designed by the NSA, so you can be sure they know how to break them, or they wouldn’t offer them. Others are probably expensive but crackable in high-interest cases (we’re talking quantum computers at their disposal). For anything super-critical I think a one-time pad is the only guarantee, and make sure your RNG works!"

BingoBoingo: Azelphur: Owncloud seems like a iCloud/Dropbox marketing stunt

Azelphur: BingoBoingo: it's nothing to do with them beyond that it's similar
Azelphur: the easiest way to describe it is open source self hosted Dropbox/iCloud
BingoBoingo: Azelphur: No it has everything to do with them because owncloud sucks
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: I'm having no problems with it ;)

BingoBoingo: Azelphur: Are ypou familiar with my definition of real Mac OS and the machines I still connect to the internet with it?
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: no
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: CalDAV is an open specification that has been around for ages, if your application doesn't support it it's your application that sucks and not ownCloud

BingoBoingo: pankkake: Init must always be complicated, no reason to steal its knobs
pankkake: what does that even mean?
mircea_popescu: pankkake complicated/simple is orthogonal to scripted/binary.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Because the Linux standard base lets me use a runlevel 4, systemd doesn't allow that
mircea_popescu: if the computer is the shirt, and initd is a tie and systemd is a bowtie, me saying that it's not as easy to hang someone by his bowtie is not answered by your proposition that ties can get stained too. sure, they can, but we were discussing hanging not disembowelment.

mircea_popescu: cuz it's evil, that's why.
mircea_popescu: "systemd certainly comes with a learning curve. Everything does. However, we like to believe that it is actually simpler to understand systemd than a Shell-based boot for most people. Surprised we say that? Well, as it turns out, Shell is not a pretty language to learn, it's syntax is arcane and complex. systemd unit files are substantially easier to understand, they do not expose a programming language, but are simple
mircea_popescu: and declarative by nature. That all said, if you are experienced in shell, then yes, adopting systemd will take a bit of learning."
mircea_popescu: no see... he's making all the wrong arguments.

BingoBoingo: A large number of drugs specifically target GABA A
pankkake: he actually refered to what it was easier to learn
BingoBoingo: And no drug that specifically targets GABA A can efficiently cause death in an overdose
pankkake: I have written inits for systemd, debian, and openrc. have you?

In fact, if something changed, then only that syslog gets more complete data now than it got before, since we now cover early boot stuff as well as STDOUT/STDERR of any system service.
BingoBoingo: systemd gets a kilogram of brass. The niggers behind it can decide if the brass is shaped into hammers or bullets.
mircea_popescu: this is kind-of bizarre. so, ok, syslogd gets whatever systemd feels like passing along. why is this useful and to whom
BingoBoingo: Either way the brass isn't going to spark, because that's just what brass does.
pankkake: we now cover early boot stuff as well as STDOUT/STDERR of any system service => since again I am the only one here who actually used the things, this is absolutely crucial

pankkake: so you want your one custom integer runlevel compared to an infinity of named runlevels?
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Yes, because that one runlevel can represent itself aleph sub 0 runlevels

kuzetsa: geez, it's kinda crappy that a game that's been around since 1999 still sometimes have NPCs in one of the main areas which like... interracting with the NPC is bugged, and instantly crashes the game client 100% of the time
kuzetsa: this time, as a test I tried a nearby vendor (no crash) then went back to the one I had problems with and it was reproducable & crashed yet again
chetty: guess it is not being maintained, what game is it?
kuzetsa: no, it's totally being maintained, and the 21st expansion is due out 4th quarter 2014 (october, tentatively)
kuzetsa: everquest
kuzetsa: which I believe is like... the original MMORPG ever or something like that
kuzetsa: oh... maybe not -- this one was around first, and you had to use a dial-up modem to directly connect to it because basically nobody had interent connections in 1992 ---> http://i.imgur.com/35lSTcU.jpg
