all autumn they spent in this "o noes, bombama put teh hurts on putin!111" |
| 11:58 |

which, you know, back when putin was merely pissing in the guy's mouth at public meetings, hey, i guess it's what people do, make this type of false claims. |
| 11:58 |

sports press fulla it, especially if you count wrestling as a sport. |

usg cycle goes approximately: 1) produce anal orifice (entirely plausibly-deniable bugpharms like microshit, with pedigrees going back into the sands of time, and impossibility of attribution or meaningful study - easy) |
| 17:03 |
asciilifeform |
2) exploit for a spell |
| 17:03 |
asciilifeform |
3) exploit is discovered by humans and put to use by wild men |
| 17:03 |
pete_dushenski |
4) party? |
| 17:03 |
asciilifeform |
4) exploit is patched, patch introduces more of the substance seen in step (1) (plausibly-deniable spaghetti that contains seeds of next iteration of cycle) |
| 17:04 |
pete_dushenski |
o that's step 5 |
| 17:04 |
asciilifeform |
5) patch is reversed by folks paid or otherwise happy to carry out this duty, and go to step 2. |
| 17:04 |
asciilifeform |
microshit periodically goes to step 1, on release cycle (new winblows and 'service packs') |
| 17:05 |

asciilifeform: certainly there are intentional back-doors, but I'm not going to give every steaming pile of microshit that excuse |

Two friends died from stepping on landmines while on Army duty in Namibia.

Even worse would be to think that the simplicity of Africa holds some kind of answers for Western society: remember "It Takes A Village"? Trust me on this: there is not one thing that Africa can give the West which hasn't been tried before and failed, not one thing that isn't a step backwards, and not one thing which is worse than, or that contradicts, what we have already. |

decimation |
heh yeah I read that. to be honest, I'm not sure the existing init system is worthy of much praise |
| 23:03 |
mircea_popescu |
decimation i can see that point. |
| 23:03 |
decimation |
but systemd is worse, in the sense that it adds a layer of obfuscation |
| 23:03 |
mircea_popescu |
exactly. |
| 23:03 |
mircea_popescu |
just because your old clunker is rusty doesn't mean you should add a bamboo patio on the roof. |
| 23:04 |
decimation |
now, it does give some functionality in exchange - faster boot times, 'carefully managed' boot process, etc |
| 23:04 |
asciilifeform |
actually we have here a rare case of danger from an unwillingness to move from the technological into the political gear of thought. |
| 23:04 |
mircea_popescu |
decimation yes, exactly what monoturdism usually promises. |
| 23:04 |
mircea_popescu |
then fails to deliver. |
| 23:04 |
mircea_popescu |
you familiar with the "giant stool" approach to economics ? |
| |
↖ |
| 23:05 |
decimation |
nope, what does that mean? |
| 23:05 |
asciilifeform |
poettering and his followers have demonstrated that they cannot be trusted to build a non-diabolical doorknob, much less init system |
| 23:05 |
mircea_popescu |
think of a supermarket as if it were a giant, walking the land of midgets. |
| |
↖ |
| 23:05 |
mircea_popescu |
should it find a nice place to sit for a while, such as a neighbourhood, it will be fine for as long as it sits, and when that's done can walk away |
| 23:05 |
mircea_popescu |
the stool he sat on, however, will never recover from having been sat upon. |
| 23:06 |
decimation |
in the sense that the midgets were all slain |
| 23:06 |
mircea_popescu |
ye, the people that left in exasperation at all the sprawl won't come back. |
| 23:06 |
mircea_popescu |
the shops that were closed by its competition won't return |
| 23:06 |
mircea_popescu |
soon enough you turned greenwich village into detroit. |
| 23:06 |
mircea_popescu |
now, this is a general economic principle, and it applies jut as well to monolithic coding approaches. |
| 23:07 |
mircea_popescu |
at first they promise "jobs for everyone and cheapoer prices" |
| 23:07 |
mircea_popescu |
then they don't deliver |
| 23:07 |
mircea_popescu |
then they leave. |
| 23:07 |
mircea_popescu |
compare ms-dos, still to this day accepted here as a paragon of programming, |
| 23:07 |
mircea_popescu |
with microsoft windows. |
| 23:07 |
decimation |
the window of economic possibility is narrowed |
| 23:07 |
mircea_popescu |
so, yes, "faster boot times". a more irrelevant metric could scarcely be devised. |
| 23:08 |
mircea_popescu |
how about "my uptime is longer than poettering's coding experience". what bootup "? |
| 23:09 |
decimation |
now the question is, are the economic possibilities of the midgets really narrowed, or do they just perceive that they are? |
| 23:09 |
mircea_popescu |
they are really narrowed. what happens there is treason. treason never works politically. |
| 23:09 |
mircea_popescu |
specifically, some midgets betray some other midgets, which they need to survive. |
| 23:09 |
mircea_popescu |
those latter midgets leave |
| 23:09 |
mircea_popescu |
and the former can't live. |
| 23:11 |
mircea_popescu |
the best case study for this in my view is romania in the 30s. idiot, indolent romanians allowed the worst among them (iron guard, dubious local fascist wannabe) to assassinate the best romanian that then lived, one duca. |
| 23:11 |
mircea_popescu |
without him, romania spent half a century in the warsaw shitter. with him, it'd have probably been greece instead. |

at any rate, asciilifeform makes a good point, the main ding against systemd is that its main author has written several well-known turds, thus the fruit of the tree |
| 23:15 |
mircea_popescu |
it's that "first they came for x but i said nothing" thing, exactly. it's not in any sense a novel or a marginal idea. |
| 23:15 |
asciilifeform |
decimation: no. |
| 23:15 |
mircea_popescu |
and it goes right into the extraction economy discussion. you familiar with that one ? |

legit complaint. |
| 23:23 |
decimation |
her problem is that she is a tiny, aimless midget in a world where massive giants are wondering, and they get 'roided daily with debt |
| 23:24 |
mircea_popescu |
basically, her problem is that the people who can think have decided lying to her is okay. |
| 23:24 |
mircea_popescu |
and certainly better than hurting her. |
| 23:24 |

"I also have no doubt that Poettering has received such attacks. Unfortunately, that comes with being a public figure on today's Internet. I myself have gotten death threats serious enough that I've turned them over to the FBI" |
| 23:26 |
mircea_popescu |
somehow the quality of the assholes in question never comes before the debate. |
| 23:27 |
mircea_popescu |
it's not that poettering gets pissed on wherever he goes because he in point of fact is a poitless, middlesome imbecile. |
| 23:27 |
mircea_popescu |
oh, no. it's because the internet is bad. because when you get negative feedback, you gotta blame the feedback. |

that suddenly makes me sorry for fbi agents. they are essentially at the bottom of a gigantic public suggestion box/toilet |
| 23:28 |
mircea_popescu |
anyway. the right way has to be defended. |
| 23:28 |
mircea_popescu |
it's not just that systemd is a piece of shit. |
| 23:28 |
mircea_popescu |
it's that poettering personally is a malignancy, that what he says is poisonous, not just for the free world but individually for people that are intellectually mature, |
| 23:28 |
asciilifeform |
that's sorta what i was trying to explain |
| 23:28 |
mircea_popescu |
and that the groups he tends to attract and promote are nothing short of malicious. |
| 23:29 |
mircea_popescu |
that he dares to spin this entire web where "he puts the blame" on linus is nothing short of outrageous. |

the receiving fbi agent should have had the same to say to poettering |
| 23:31 |

problem is, the derps in the studio should have a) been repressed enough that they never dared think of speaking in front of the camera, let alone be allowed to do it |

and b) be told the exact same thing. |

Logged on 04-11-2014 02:49:05; decimation: so after watching Stierlitz, I surfed the wikipedia describing the NASDP government intelligence 4th department http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo "According to Canadian historian Robert Gellately's analysis of the local offices established, the Gestapo was—for the most part—made up of bureaucrats and clerical workers who depended upon denunciations by citizens for their information.[78] Gellately |

yeah I think I mentioned about how the gestapo used the same effect to 'terrorize' the population |

not even a matter of going that far. |

mircea_popescu |
my point is, in a socialist system, be it us-socialist or national-socialist or soviet-socialist or anything it may be |
| 23:33 |
mircea_popescu |
the supposed fbi/gru/gestapo/etc is simply a toilet box for the public idiocy. |
| 23:34 |
mircea_popescu |
this is a very visible symptom of the problem of well metastasized socialism : a general sense of entitlement in the crowd of idiots. an unwarranted expectation of efficiency on their part. |

mircea_popescu |
sure, but that's cleaved. personal experience is one thing, personal understanding another. |
| 23:38 |
decimation |
it might be the case that this kind of understanding can only be had through a few cycles of systemds |
