pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes nah, see i ~let~ you pretend that it's still 1860 and that it takes the president-elect 75 goddam days to travel from his midwest farm to dc, instead of, y'know, the president-elect having his own boeing 737. the trumpreich started in the wee hours of november 9th 2016 regardless of when he takes the keys to the new shack. i just thought i'd give you every chance there was, including narrowing the
pete_dushenski: time frame a smidge. my first draft was every bit as correct, if not moreso in regards to the commencement of his influence on markets. trump ain't rollin' in no horse 'n' buggy and no one's waiting to read about his acceptance speech via pony express. it's 2016 dawg and news travels like you wouldn't believe.
pete_dushenski: http://archive.is/tOJEw << duterte is the gift that just keeps on giving (like the rest of his lovely compatriots imho)
pete_dushenski: "In October Duterte compared himself to Adolf Hitler and said he would be “happy to slaughter” three million drug addicts. He later apologised for the Hitler reference but said he was “emphatic” about wanting to kill the millions of addicts. Since his election, police have reported killing 2,086 people in anti-drug operations. More than 3,000 others have been killed in unexplained circumstances,
pete_dushenski: according to official figures."
ben_vulpes: gracious of you
pete_dushenski: aww shucks you're just saying that
ben_vulpes: lmk when i don't have to pay for useless insurance any more
ben_vulpes: or, even better, when there is only *national* ins corp
ben_vulpes: my northern friends have such fond things to say about their local statal monopoly
pete_dushenski: car or health ?
ben_vulpes: 'health'
ben_vulpes: 'insurance'
ben_vulpes: meanwhile portland gets 3 inches of snow and omg people sitting on freeways for 5+ hours
pete_dushenski: sounds like the whole town forgot to put winter tires on their bikes.
ben_vulpes: subarus don't need snow tires bro
ben_vulpes: this car was thirty thousand dollars it can handle a little snow okay
pete_dushenski: g-wagen idem. or wait, you cascadians only drive subarus and teslas eh.
ben_vulpes doesn't drive much at all
mircea_popescu: the car can handle a little snow just liek the cunt can handle a little octopus

phf: only reason i'm trying mm7 is because setup seemed easy (and it is. stock wine 1.9 works in software rendering)
phf: fwiw play on mac scripts didn't add anything except for a dodgy point and click interface that downloads a bunch of stuff i don't need. game still doesn't play well with native rendering. i suspect tha some specific binary blob version of directx (or precursor?) will solve the issue, but...
mircea_popescu: eh no real need for hardware acceleration on the old games anyway
Framedragger: asciilifeform: not sure if you'd make use of this, but since i needed this myself, may as well link to it -- ssh banners for all ~16M ssh servers: http://siphnos.mkj.lt/datadrop/banners/s1/s1_banners.tar.gz
Framedragger: (numbers in filenames and internal line order maps to openpgp files i gave you, fwiw)
Framedragger: (format in TXTs is simple CSV: ipv4address,banner -- the latter may contain spaces, commas etc, but any surrounding whitespace (incl newlines) is stripped. there's only one banner per ipv4 even though *same* scan sometimes returned multiple (slightly different, e.g. includes or excludes OS string) banners.)
Framedragger: (the criterion for choosing which banner to report is a simple "max string length.") (again, note, all of those "multiple" banners were from a single scan event, same date, so no historical knowledge is lost by only reporting single banner per single (ip,port) pair.) hope this makes sense.
mircea_popescu: i think i may run some stats on this.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: ah, correction: s1_banners.tar.gz is only the first ~13.3M servers - i.e. the first set of thirteen parcels i gave you - here's the rest - i.e. the three additional parcels (i know phuctor won't be processing these for a while, but, for completeness): http://siphnos.mkj.lt/datadrop/banners/s2/s2_banners.tar.gz
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah, same here, fairly curious re. unique versionstring numbers, etc...
asciilifeform: oh hah neato
asciilifeform: ty Framedragger
Framedragger: (note, some of those version strings contain OS string, some of them don't; these TXTs store versionstrings-as-they-were-seen, without any ssh-server/OS version separation.)
Framedragger: (and @all, http://siphnos.mkj.lt/datadrop/ is the canonical URL for all data gathered from the ssh scans. includes raw stderr logs from ssh-keyscan utility, e.g. http://siphnos.mkj.lt/datadrop/banners/s1/1_err_scan.log ; scripts for processing these are http://siphnos.mkj.lt/datadrop/banners/write_ssh_banners.py and http://siphnos.mkj.lt/datadrop/banners/process_all_banners.sh )
asciilifeform: next time (as inevitably must) that i regrind phuctor and its db, i'ma stuff these in retroactively
Framedragger: fwiw i plan to make these available through a search interface - will put stuff into db. i think i'll make it so that one can link to particular db entry via that deterministic-alf-fingerprint you concocted
Framedragger: so no need for this (but obvs would be cool, too)
mircea_popescu: alrighty, lettuce see what gems lie in the data oncle Framedragger has provied.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger what's ip for siphnos.mkj.lt ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: 5.196.95.135
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: (mkj.lt is different server from siphnos.mkj.lt)
a111: Logged on 2016-11-20 23:28 Framedragger: the *banners.txt's are my partial cleanup, *_err_scan.log's are the original stderr's (with some junk in them). but i will clean this myself later. and siphnos.mkj.lt is where i'll host phuctor-related data. (it's on a separate unused vps, got an 'ok' from $work for now.)
Framedragger Framedragger is dig util over irc

pete_dushenski: "Do not report this issue to Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core!" << speaking of error reports, just got this lolzotron trying to install eulora on osx 10.8
pete_dushenski: SNITCHES GET STICHES!!1

trinque: pretty hard for me to condemn assad while my ass still sits in the country that sold al qaida chemical weapons to be used, then blamed on assad.
pete_dushenski: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/eKTJb/?raw=true << osx 10.8 install attempt for those curious
