mircea_popescu: by now too dangerous.

mircea_popescu: btw asciilifeform ever rotaku'd http://trilema.com/2012/afaceri-particulare/ ? stumbled on it earlier it's fucking hysterical.

ben_vulpes: don't want to distract you from your trinquechores tho

ben_vulpes: and yourself sir
trinque wonders if douchebag realizes what useful work it'd be, to know how easily trb nodes can be popped, given that the wallet will of course have to be sitting right there, with same permissions, on same box, and etc
trinque: (and obviously, ~I do not use the trb wallet~)
ave1: asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793119, with this script http://ave1.org/2018/building-gnat-on-musl-now-with-a-signature/ it is possible to build a cross compiler for aarch64, I will try to use this cross-compiler to then create a native compiler.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 03:17 asciilifeform: but annoying that nobody seems to have ever published one or mentioned the existence.
asciilifeform: ave1: i did one for mips ( never properly tested tho ) a few yrs back
asciilifeform: ave1: the surprising bit is the total absence of any mention of a working gnat for arm64 ( despite it being a quite common chip for several yrs )
asciilifeform: trinque: theoretically 'every private has a marshal's baton in his knapsack', but realistically it is not esp. likely that 'popping trb' had to wait for this 1 d00d to turn 19 or what he was.
asciilifeform: considering the very tangible win from any such thing, going back years
trinque: we stopped on a perfect copy of openssl did we?
asciilifeform: 'not remotely poppable' != 'perfect'
asciilifeform: fwiw it dun hurt to try. ftr, asciilifeform's orig interest in reading the src, long before even running into mircea_popescu et al , was precisely this.
asciilifeform: !!up diana_coman_away
deedbot: diana_coman_away voiced for 30 minutes.
diana_coman_away: thanks! slowly eating logs here
ave1: asciilifeform, I can only find gnats for ubuntu/debian and alpine linux. Also GNAT pro seems to support arm64.
ave1: btw, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-04#1792937, how do you notice something like that?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-04 19:52 asciilifeform: meanwhile on the chinesium front, asciilifeform was pretty close to throwing out the 'rockchip' this morn., when saw that every few hrs it read-retries the sd flash. but apparently harmless eggog: comes from certain sad levelling firmwares , they cannot keep up with the host
asciilifeform: ave1: it went into /var/log/messages
asciilifeform: or do i misunderstand the q
asciilifeform: ave1: we had just the other day a thread re 'gnat pro'. it's interesting, in principle, but i sure as fucking daylight ain't ever signing nonredistribution oaths for a compiler
ave1: aha, I was wondering weather you noticed some led blinking, but log would do it
ave1: yes, me neither
asciilifeform: ave1: nah , no led. log noise. and documented, apparently, issue , with some brands of sd, going back years
asciilifeform: appears to be harmless, the retry-read always succeeds
asciilifeform: at any rate, rockchip pilot-plant boxen will boot from sd and mount usb3 stick for root partition.
asciilifeform: ave1: unrelatedly, iirc you're the one who was lucky winner of 1 phree FG ? didja get it yet ?
ave1: yes I was! and no nothing arrived yet...
asciilifeform: went out on mar. the 22.
ave1: well shipping from US has taken anything from 1 to 4 weeks in the past
asciilifeform: ave1: then too soon to say that it was magicked away
trinque: asciilifeform: in general you're probably right, though in general not most are persistent enough to join the republic.
trinque: gotta give the guy worthwhile targets to see
trinque: ftr if the report is "trb's deps are not susceptible to any known RCE" that'd be a fine thing to see written up too
ben_vulpes: today's marvelous self-licking ice-cream-cone: surgeon general suggests that everyone near to folks at risk for overdosing on fentanyl and friends carry naxalone. i for one can't wait to see what the new equilibrium intake rate is without mortality risk looming.
trinque: and obviously that wouldn't be reason to develop a false sense of security either.
ben_vulpes: "audits can only show presence of holes, never the absence" or how did it go
trinque: rce isn't the only thing that'd be interesting, even cpu bog-down or mem usage DoS would be relevant to staying at the front of the chain.
asciilifeform: it is a little bit funny to talk of bogdown and dos 'vulnerability' in a proggy that happily does o(n) operations at the request of allcomers
asciilifeform: not to mention lets any and all-comers hog sockets for as long as they can come up with fresh ip
asciilifeform: happily does ~by design~
trinque: AIDS patient doesn't ignore fungus because AIDS, but on the contrary
trinque: its also homework.
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, trinque , ever looked into purging sslism from gentoo ? in particular the existence of /etc/ca-certificates.conf and its contents as a ~mandatory package, i find quite irritating
asciilifeform: ( or at the very least, if not purged, every proggy that attempts to lean on usg.pki-ism should generate a log event )
trinque: just gotta mask it and weep, and kiss whatever wanted it goodbye
trinque is on a box currently that's musl + libressl, but I don't know that it's much better
asciilifeform: whole pkiism concept is deeply offensive from a republican pov.
trinque: indeed it is
trinque: -ssl hits some, other ebuilds (and this happens more by the day, on various) don't implement the use flag. "what, of course you want that!"
asciilifeform: i can see an argument for retaining an ability to emulate a sslistic client, for http-fetching heathenware when absolutely must . but beyond this -- it Must Die
trinque has considered using the portage profile feature for this
asciilifeform: in particular this thought in asciilifeform's head sprung from noticing a CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK='/etc/gentoo-release /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/ca-certificates.conf' in the default environment
trinque: have a fascist profile that ideally becomes the only one, and perhaps another profile that's more lax, used for porting over things or w/e.
asciilifeform: i.e. sslism is treated as 'special' and 'precious' evidently in >1 place
trinque: but, if already saying we'll be curating ebuilds I don't see much of a point of the latter
asciilifeform: ultimately ideal would be fully vtronic replacement for portage.
trinque: and we have to eat all of portage, or we'll be in the position I was in when I handed current cuntoo script to diana_coman
trinque: "oh sorry, outside world moved while we held still. build is now broke as a joke."
trinque: this is the primary item on my workbench atm
asciilifeform: well, not 'all of', but the closure-over-the-set of actually-used things
trinque: "be responsible for everything considered republican portage"
trinque: yes not eat all existing ebuilds
asciilifeform: seems like maybe ~150 packages are in practice needed for a Troo Workstation
trinque: own distfiles server, etc
trinque: aha
asciilifeform: and the number can probably be reduced considerably
trinque has a busybox userland-golf experiment on the workbench
asciilifeform: good chunk of the installed packages on typical gentoo box is really liquishit
trinque: though dunno if busybox counts, just giant wad of many utils.
trinque: the appeal there is one upstream dependency vs various
asciilifeform: i find busybox to be useful on ancient routers , pogo , & similar , but quite unusable as a unixutils substitute on actual workstation
asciilifeform: it is not even remotely 100% compatible with classical bash etc
trinque: the embedded constraint would, I'd wager, place a constraint on amount of shitgnomaticism to creep in.
trinque: but probably yes, not compatible strictly with latest bash
asciilifeform: imho the long-term answer is '3rd way' , i.e. all the crud i wrote in bash, python, etc over the years really oughta be in the hypothetical little-lisp-in-ada from old thread.
asciilifeform: ( and at future date then readily transposable to a sane, nonunixoid os )
trinque: busybox default doesn't preclude there being a bash ebuild neh?
trinque is taking "smallest possible bootable userland"
trinque: *talking
asciilifeform: sure. but a default that nobody uses in battlefield, is not much to brag about.
trinque: fair point.
trinque: I admittedly *don't* use bash in battlefield, but privately on the workbench
asciilifeform: iirc we even have somebody who lives in ksh.
asciilifeform: ( or maybe i dreamed this. )
asciilifeform: in other lulz, sbcl apparently mildly broken on arm64: builds 100% but then ' can't find core file at /usr/lib/sbcl//sbcl.core '
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793180 << i guess, yeah. kinda lotta work for little payoff though, more of stand-up comedy fare

asciilifeform: ... unsurprising, because it lives in /usr/lib64
asciilifeform: but the path is HARDCODED IN
asciilifeform: because somebody got dropped as a child, evidently
asciilifeform: and yes i'm aware that it can be fixed by setting an evir variable. but WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO
asciilifeform: possibly phf knows who was responsible for this. i'd like for the name to enter the logs.

asciilifeform: (supposing coin-bearing heathens were to appear)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh, what, walk me throiugh this. let's use lesswrong codex as a basis. so : 1. you are in the hospital for "maybe wanting to kill yourself", after having made ill advised 1970s comments to 2010s paki diversity-"doctor" ; 2. "I remember working with a doctor who wanted to discharge his patient to some kind of outpatient drug rehab. The patient refused to go, so the doctor wouldn’t discharge her, and they were i
mircea_popescu: n a stalemate over it for weeks, and the whole time the patient was tearfully begging the doctor to release her. I cannot tell you how much willpower it took not to sneak into the patient’s room and yell at her “JUST AGREE TO GO TO THE REHAB AND THEN DON’T DO IT, YOU IDIOT”."
mircea_popescu: 3. you... umm... publish it anyway.
mircea_popescu: what now ?
mircea_popescu: we have the perfect mechanism of antipantsuit publishing ; http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-13#1770196 . what's the "color of bits" pantsuit system supposed to do, get trinque to swear in court you sent it to him ?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-13 16:14 mircea_popescu: and it's for me ; when in doubt you can always check whose key an encrypted item is encrypted to.

mircea_popescu: this is such a direct equivalent of yesterday's ballistic-gellatin wank it's starting to draw out a profile (for what i previously called the wikitard, but i guess lesswrong is just a particularily thick cloud of them) : asocial beta male that has managed to move the conceptual universe of cartoons into "real life" such as they live it.
mircea_popescu: seinfeld's superman comics and cereal eating habits meet the yudkowski "oh, on the basis of the behaviours of the three goats we have back at camp, women like dweebs" and the "lalala i can't hear you, us army bb gun is very efficient when fired at gelatin 5 feet away and the fact that you'll never get that close nor ever have to fight large blobs irl IS NOT IN MY FIELD OF VISION"
mircea_popescu: then they believe (pretend to "think critically", but do no such thing, simply believe) rank nonsense like "global warming" because... THE MODEL!!! the model reminds them of the simplified characters in the manga they loved as children and the general deus-ex-machina atmosphere fits well with their only formative experiences.
mircea_popescu: and so pantsuit science emerges naturally, out of a certain kind of child abuse ; it no longer needs agency for explaining its existence.

asciilifeform: the 1 other httpsism i can think of that isn't escapable is www sites of iron-sellers. though for this one could use a dedicated toilet.
asciilifeform: come to think of it, a little proxy box ( make out of ~anything, even pogo ) would handily do the job. think 'chinese firewall https stripper' for home lan.
mircea_popescu: i don't envy any man the miserable but required portions of his job.
mircea_popescu: and very much yes.

mircea_popescu: "Robin Hanson is right that no-one wants to speak up for the low-status males for fear of being grouped with them. I for one feel compelled to make clear from the outset that I’m a *terribly* high status male who is *overwhelmed* with interest from women, and am only speaking up for those less fortunate than me out of the purest generosity of spirit" << this guy : https://mindsarentmagic.org/

mircea_popescu: i thought futa is how you say "cartoon transsexual"
asciilifeform: ( he's, approx., a chowdhry . or what was that one called )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i found this meaning out from mircea_popescu , believe or not. prior to that knew only from $d00d's crackpottery with 'future markets' (itself stolen from old man admiral poindexter iirc )
asciilifeform: ( not to be confused with futures markets )
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/heres-what-polyamory-is-not/ << Trilema - Here's what "polyamory" is not :
mircea_popescu: basically this wikipedian wankster thing seems to be a major-ish neet subculture. evidently under the whole chems thing, or guns, or "baptist"ism / most other first echelon things. but perhaps large enough to make 2nd tier, with post-punk, petaism, and so forth. a sort of mirror-knitting subculture, i guess.
asciilifeform: dunno that 'subculture' is the word. sorta like calling syphilis a subculture
mircea_popescu: syphilis very much was a subculture.
asciilifeform: then this also
mircea_popescu: diseases are in fact the best framework for conceptualizing subcultures -- that's what they are, broken people. broken how is relatively uninteresting.
mircea_popescu: but the girl who genuinely believes her little village is everything and being a dairy maid is the be all (great little novel about this, with nobleman who married dairy maid, ended up making the dutchess a... dairy) is not substantially different from the guy who thinks mercury salts will right him.
mircea_popescu: they both have little rituals associated, consume information cooked a certain way FOR IT BEING THUS COOKED and not for other reasons, and so following.
mircea_popescu: oh, oh, look, there's even a bit of mittelamerica in there! "I came home from my tour in the US Army in the Middle East. I have only been back two months. My wife and I have three children. We have been married for ten years. I came back and Sarah had changed. Didn’t want anything to do with me. This is typical for returning Veterans so I figured it would just take time. Fast forward to now, I just discovered, she has been
mircea_popescu: recruited as a “unicorn” by a Neurologist at a hospital in town. She abandoned me and our middle child who has Autism. She took the youngest and oldest boy and they are considered now Mitch’s children. So, excuse me if I can’t be open minded enough to understand this. I don’t. It hurts incredibly bad and I don’t understand how a doctor, with a wife and six children, could steal my wife and try to take my children."

asciilifeform: in other noose, liftoff on rockchip-cum-usb3-ssd
asciilifeform: ( boots from sd, mounts root on usb3 )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "unicorn" in context is the traditional soubrette : young woman eager to [sexually, and otherwise] please both master and mistress.
mircea_popescu: supposedly these are rare. i imagine for the sort of dweebs that spew all this maculature they would be.
asciilifeform: phunphakt for trinque : apparently something inside current-day portage re-package.mask's gcc <5 'for your own good' on every (?) --sync , leaving it to be unmasked manually.

Using these packages can result in build failures (and possible breakage) for many packages, and may leave your system vulnerable to known security exploits' nonsense.

mircea_popescu: this whole thing's tiny, basically the wank of ~one campus.
mircea_popescu: i think they call this research.
asciilifeform: ahahahayes
mircea_popescu: it's really not anything but 15yo turning in wikipedia article.
asciilifeform: 'EDIT 2017-10-28: DO NOT DO THIS! Dropbox have changed their API, and Netmemo has failed to update to use the new one. I emailed the developer and got no response. Don’t use Netmemo Plus. I want a button on my Android phone that drops voice notes into my GTD inbox.'

mircea_popescu: sadly i'm too lazy to translate http://trilema.com/2010/familia-traditionala-versus-harem-studiu-comparativ/ ; but the comments are pretty riotous. sampler : "in closing, permit me to inform you that i've taken a shit into one of those cups you drink jeebus blood from, in some church somewhere, as well as washed my cock post-ejaculation in one of those water holders somewhere in some other church. but i'm not going to mention
mircea_popescu: which exactly, so you can live from now on in the full serenity of knowing that it's perfectly possible you've been kissing my ass a number of times to date. all the best."
mircea_popescu: actually, fuck that, i have to transalte it, willy nilly.
asciilifeform: another interesting... character reappears in $thread , 'cousin_it' << iirc , a ru d00d, who was what passed for intellectual backbone of the lw forum until formally expelled for -- iirc -- pissing on the 'roko's basilisk' chix
mircea_popescu: talk about absent options ;/.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagine the way that works is "about one third of the class of phds hanging about mass campuses".
mircea_popescu: exactly like drama class in highschool.
mircea_popescu: so maybe his phd / patience with the idiocy ran out.

gabriel_laddel: managed to kill a x220 circuit board by swapping the screen to another, identical while machine was running. is this the sort of thing to 'fry' circuitry, and as a general rule I suppose no life fire electronics around CPUs?
