mircea_popescu: I'm talking to a girl right now

00:15

She might be interested

00:17

aite.

00:17

tryna sweet talk her right now

00:25

phf et al: attempted to press latest vtools to the keccak head. v (mod6's) reports vtools_vpatch_newline not in flow, neither its antecedent vtools_fixes_static_tohex, despite both patches and (verified good) sigs present (they neither show up via flow command). v will press to vtools_vpatch.vpatch, but no further. see http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/oNRhE/?raw=true .

↖ ↖ ↖

00:26

not sure if this has something to do with the note in phf's accompanying release post re btcbase presser not working quite right....

00:27

ugh

00:27

i'll take a look

00:28

hanbot manifest is broken

00:29

o no nm, i had them in reverse order.

00:29

it's actually 6144 -> 7ebf ; 7ebf -> 154d

00:33

hanbot that is so fucking weird ; v.pl literally greps for the name in order to spit out that error, and the name's right there.

00:42

well, 'vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch' is not found in her flow.

00:42

which is where the error comes from. im getting all of his patches & sigs and will see wtf

00:43

but it's in the ls.

00:44

yeah, but v.pl isn't picking it up, for some reason; i'll get to the bottom of why.

00:45

hanbot: can you tell us what version of v.pl you are using?

00:47

99994 K

00:51

ok, update to 99993 K plz. not sure it'll solve ~this~ problem yet.

00:51

*

mod6 is just digging in

01:00

mod6 same results with 99993

01:01

yup, i see the same.

01:02

and i've found the issue.

01:02

stand by

01:03

Before I paste this, lemme describe what I'm doing here: 1) I'm starting fresh, grabbing all the vpatches and sigs referenced in the most recent blog post by phf at http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-keccak-regrind/

01:04

2) Once I have all the files, I put them in the proper place. Then grab the latest V (99993) and verify that it's correct.

01:04

3) Check the flow, see that vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch is not in the flow, and check to ensure that the seal verifies, and it dows

01:04

*does

01:05

4) Check the press paths -- there are ~two~ (phf said this was experimental previously)

01:06

5) Check the origins of the antecedent hashes in 'vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch' to see if we're missing one.

01:07

6) We're not missing an antecedent vpatch; however, '98ba7212fafa4a61f6d6096f1a2953a67a70fcf185965ed7199a223f6897c9b9f2996d391a3f363282236889413973d0beada0e36d57068549bea672fd110d8d' matches two antecedents

01:07

http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/tD3fl/?raw=true

01:07

^ my testing

01:09

one will notice that these antecedent origins are from two separate press-paths.

01:11

I'm not sure how to reconsile this. If you have a different v tool that will help you work around this, by all means.

01:13

mod6 how the heck can both sha fixes and fixes newline have the same hash

01:14

oh, they don't, they just have the same antecedent. why is this a problem ?

01:14

99994 and 99993 correctly press past this split, you're aware.

01:16

'vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' and 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' indeed have the same output hash.

01:17

<+mircea_popescu> oh, they don't, they just have the same antecedent. why is this a problem ? << im not sure at this point. could be an edge case im not catching, or could be buried in old rules built into my v.

01:18

hang on wtf.

01:18

and a good question, is this a problem for 'theory of v' ?

01:18

i'd have to fully debug the problem here, im only showing the symptoms here.

01:20

omf they do : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/MOixj/?raw=true

01:20

phf dude you did the conflict wth is this!

01:21

mod6 well i dun see how we can have collisions and live. i can't even understand how the fuck this was possible, two patches with DIFFERENT antecedents hash-colliding ?!

01:22

i mean, vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch sorts off vtools_vdiff_sha, whereas vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch sorts right off genesis.

01:22

<+mircea_popescu> omf they do : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/MOixj/?raw=true << here I think you inadvertantly curled & diffed the same files.

01:23

this is different than what i'm saying. the two distinct vpatches, 'vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' and 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch', contain the same output, '98ba7212fafa4a61f6d6096f1a2953a67a70fcf185965ed7199a223f6897c9b9f2996d391a3f363282236889413973d0beada0e36d57068549bea672fd110d8d'

01:33

oh wait.

01:33

there is more going on here.

01:34

'vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch' is not the only one to be dropped out, so is 'vdiff_sha_static.vpatch'; i didn't notice on the first pass.

01:36

oh damn i did do the same file. buffer failure.

01:36

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794461 << that was already the case in the previous patchset

01:36

Logged on 2018-04-09 05:23 mod6: this is different than what i'm saying. the two distinct vpatches, 'vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' and 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch', contain the same output, '98ba7212fafa4a61f6d6096f1a2953a67a70fcf185965ed7199a223f6897c9b9f2996d391a3f363282236889413973d0beada0e36d57068549bea672fd110d8d'

01:36

mircea_popescu is thoroughly confused through the working of his own ineptitude, will need a moment to extract self.

01:37

phf: i thought last time we encountered a problem like this we dropped out a vpatch, then it was fine.

01:37

but this time, i dunno wtf is going on here. it's a mess.

01:37

http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/GKHPS/?raw=true

01:38

here's where two vpatches have the same outputs for 'xalloc.h'

01:38

^

01:38

Hey is it cool if I invite a friend in here, he's a pretty good chatter and he's a technical dude

01:38

then both vdiff_sha_static.vpatch and vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch try to use the same input.

01:38

mod6: this might've been encountered before, but i'm talking about the vtools patchset that was there before regrind

01:39

He'll join in a moment

01:39

mod6 no, listen, i don't see what the problem you see is. so a number of different patches, which are themselves distinct, nevertheless depend on the same version of a file (here, xaloc). this isn't, nor can be a problem ; and was not a prtoblem before, either.

01:40

oh, im specifically talking about the patch set from your latest post.

01:40

umm. well...

01:40

as long as the patches don't collide, ie, have the same hash ; and as long as they're properly chained and signed they should press.

01:40

this violates rules that we've previously put in place then.

01:40

i still don't know why they don't ; but as far as i can see there isn't an actual problem with his patches or seals.

01:40

mod6 which rules ?

01:41

or it's a side effect of some coding

01:41

i dunno. ugh.

01:41

this is why i don't want to write this thing any more.

01:41

so tired of fucking with v.

01:41

can't even get anything else done, all i do is V. audit peoples shit.

01:41

mod6 but specifically as to the point, can you see why v.pl spits out that error message there ? am i right in reading the script as "if the file is not found by name" ?

01:41

etc etc etc.

01:41

this is getting SUPER old.

01:42

well the hope is that eventually we iron out all the edges...

01:42

i don't think im the right person for this.

01:42

someone else now needs to step up and write a V.

01:42

im done with this thing.

01:43

death("HEAD: $press[1] not found in flow\n") if !grep /^$press[1]$/, @flow << this specifically. how can it fail if it lists the item in flow ?

01:43

it isn't in the flow. that's the problem.

01:44

these vpatches are thrown out as they fail a previous check.

01:44

oh oh i see!

01:45

I added a debugging line:

01:45

http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/R65oM/?raw=true

01:45

see, "removed"

01:45

this was removed in the "ante_check"

01:45

*these were removed in the "ante_check" subroutine

01:47

mod6 ok here's what i don't understand : for some reason the "flow" goes from vtools_vpatch, which is in the keccak line, to vdiff_sha_fixes, which is in the other line (sha line).

01:47

this makes no sense. basically it goes 5 steps down the keccak tree and then jumps to step 1 and 2 on the sha tree.

01:48

well, i dunno.

01:48

i need to call it a night.

01:48

sleep tight. best case, we figure it out by morn.

01:51

i can only say that i think that btcbase presser is doing the same thing, with the "5 steps down keccak and 2 steps down sha", but the grapher doesn't. i think grapher uses more Graph Theory, but i neither remember what the difference is, nor can i debug it now (was about to go to sleep myself)

01:51

phf it's incomprehensible to me as the manifest.txt varies wildly.

01:52

anyway, it's not an emergency, sleep tight also we see tomorro

01:58

02:00

02:18

to an outsider it is a pretty extreme idea, but i dig it

02:30

hello

02:31

phf oh! it tries to press vdiff_sha / etc because they're actually a dependency for tohex ?! why did you write it this way ?

02:31

vtools_fixes_static_tohex shouldn't depend on anything from vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.

02:34

that's the fucking problem! the vtools_fixes_static_tohex uses xalloc.h 98BA when it should instead use its own line (earlier) version of C89B.

I have no fucking idea what is going on. alf - that's really weird. im using the following patches/seals, and I'm getting this: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/RrM1h/?raw=true

10:11

I don't have time to debug this shit now. but at some point I'll have to actually look at this project and try to figure out what the graph is ~supposed~ to look like and why my V chokes on it.

10:12

Someone needs to write and maintain a proper V for the republic.

10:12

It sucks up way to much of my time.

10:16

mod6: it probably does not help that one has to hand-click 22 times to download this set. possibly you missed one?

10:17

I'm hoping that phf will look at my latest link and audit that for me. I've pulled everything from : http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-keccak-regrind/

10:17

I could have missed one, indeed.

10:18

yeah, im not sure wtf.

10:18

hmm looks like it

10:19

Logged on 2018-04-09 13:59 phf: antecedent graph != requirement graph

the one before that

10:21

I suspect that is the problem with the rules.

10:21

phf i looked at the patch itself.

10:21

Before we said "all antecedents must be present for a descendant to be in the flow".

10:21

lemme reload all this pile of stuff here, i closed it all last night.

10:22

So made routines that do just that. There almost certainly is not a built in case where two antecedents have the same output hashes and can use a single in that csae.

10:22

If you understand my meaning. I.e. I would need to add an exception to the rule for that.

10:28

phf what is the vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc link to vtools_fixes_static_tohex ? as now apparently the two patches are entirely disjunct, did you update or something ?

10:29

mircea_popescu: that's one of the 98BA's

10:31

a right. hanbot do me a favour : download ~only~ those patches which are in the leftmost trunk seen on phf's viewer (so exclude vtools_vdiff_sha, and its dependents) and try to flow again ?

↖ ↖ ↖

10:32

mod6 i suspect we ran into a novel situation : if there's ambiguous file usage in multi-head bundles, v panics.

10:33

(which is not even wrong, as the serial application of patches from different branches can result in a messed up codebase ; but it could be more verbose about what happened)

10:34

yeah, totally.

10:35

alf already instructed me a number of months ago to be more verbose about failures. I didn't get that done as much on the last release as I was trying to limit the scope to the last change for the press-paths.

10:35

So indeed, better failure messages are needed. And if we're going to allow this type of strange project structures, that'll have to get built into the rules.

10:35

it's not directly clear just ~how~ it could be more verbose here, seeing how it doesn't magically know all the "meanings" we associate to the patches themselves.

10:36

mircea_popescu: on it

10:36

mircea_popescu: well, for instance, it would be nice if I'd have put a statement in the release version that yells when it throws a vpatch out for rule breakage.

10:37

wouldn't have gained us anything here, it'd just have pointed to vtools_fixes_static_tohex, but we pretty much knew that one is where it dies anyway.

10:37

in this case, it throws out: vdiff_sha_static.vpatch and vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch

10:37

yeah, this is true too.

10:38

mircea_popescu: i can try the leftmost trunck on phf's viewer, but not right this minute. maybe in a few hours. i'm pinned down in the mud. gotta kill the guy in the pillbox first.

10:39

no, what it should do is yell "alternate paths to press $vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch requirement $x.alloc : $vtools+patch and $vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc."

10:39

10:40

mircea_popescu: solid plan. i can add something like that perhaps when alternate paths are detected.

10:40

which is a useful warning, because in principle if $1 and $2 could both delivered wanted $file, but the author intended for $1 to be used, $2 might produce different $otherfile than author needed, and then you can't press because your hashes no longer match downstream"

10:40

hanbot you're missing one.

10:41

vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc

10:41

pff sorry.

10:43

right, correct patchset on the left then presses + flows to vtools_vpatch_newline

10:44

aha!

10:44

fwiw there's no ambiguity in the patchset, the dependency graph _is constrained_. but you can't make that constraint rule based, you can e.g. discover that constraint by walking the graph while keeping the track of the checksums of the press (i suspect there's a smarter graph theoretical way of doing it, but a "press walk" is the easiest).

10:44

obviously that works because btcbase produces the correct dependency graph

10:44

yeah. so on one hand indeed the problem was as suspected ; but on the other hand phf is correct and yes the graph IS constrained.

10:45

phf i guess next on your plate is make a prototype proper grapher for all time ? then mod6 can put that in v and avoid further such wtfs.

10:54

the easiest press walk may in principle become very VERY expensive on large enough projects (in terms of the bitcoin blockchain large, 6 digit patches with 1-3 digit files included each it'd be a true unassailable nightmare). but then again it also bakes in some incentive to NOT DO THAT.

10:55

i suppose that's one way to release btcbase source: slowly rewrite it all in ada

10:55

know a better one ?

10:56

need-driven rewrite, best engineering known to man. it's certainly how i produce trilema.

( speaking of entomological horror, today found https://archive.li/Efx3S in the glue trap : one of those chinese shannonized btc-flavoured liquishit items, but this time claiming to be a trilema article ! )

11:01

but the devil is in the details. consider how this flows : "so mp, do you want a gui ?" "uh ok" "should it have any buttons on it ?" "kinda what a gui is" "every button will have to be specified, as to location, as to..." "just get on with it" "6mb, will that be cash or check on other people's time ?" "motherfucker..."

'where, sir, wouldja like this put !'

11:02

asciilifeform there's lots of mfa using my name / stuff. apparently i'm a valuable google adwords item.

11:03

anyway, this PARTICULAR item is a chinese forum that actually tracks us / includes (not terrible) translations of trilema pieces for commentary etc.

the good news for you mod6 being that you don't really have to do anything ; v.pl is fine as it is, for now, and once phf has a prototype walker you can just move on to that and it'll be cheaper. continue work on your ada guy in the meanwhile at your leisure, seems we're converging that way.

11:33

mircea_popescu: their src iirc leaked in 2012

11:33

aha.

11:34

there's a number of variously-working clones nao, e.g. 'virtualbox'

lol

11:46

the ways these typically end : a) (most common) simply evaporates, no record of wtf happened to the case b) violator supposedly kowtows, 'complies' -- which 100% of the time in practice consists of putting up a tarball ~with the lifted orig turd~, none of the 'viral' provisions of gpl are given any attention at all , but hilariously the plaintiff ~eats this~

11:46

and 'declares victory for gpl' naturally.

yawell.

12:26

you can't paper over brainrot.

12:26

quite the opposite, in fact

12:26

if dentists were programmers they wouldn't have any need for drills, just cement over cavities and then cement over that.

12:27

^ this is what american dentists do much of the time

12:27

purple screen of tooth pain

12:28

asciilifeform not just usian disease anymore. i had some work done recently, very pretty girl, quite competent (sadly, being a good dentist requires the steady hand only a properly developed brain can produce. retards can't ever be sharpshooters, dentists, surgeons etc because dubious genetics -> dubios fenotype -> too ungaitly assymetric to perform)

12:29

anyway, and she wanted to put me under! and i was naw, go ahead. took some convincing, and by the time she was halfway through she was sweating profusely and had the shakes. "but doesn't it hurt ?!?!"

12:29

"well... apparently it hurts you ? i've seen women go through gangbangs with less extrapyramidal effects"

12:29

my local drmengele is, believe or not, the opposite : 'you dun need it' -- proceeds to drill without painkiller. asciilifeform -- used it it by nao

12:29

*used to

12:30

good.

12:30

one day when you really need it -- it'll work for you.

12:30

was exactly asciilifeform's thought

12:31

al schwartz's "believe it or not ketamine dun work" has a lot to do with "well... you've been to the dentist all these many years ?"

12:36

ben_vulpes it's a low spec computer (mostly, two huge disks, otherwiuse modest) ; but anyway, something to grow into.

12:36

ben_vulpes: if you want to include a mechanical hdd or 2 in the cargo, it is not too late

12:36

we dun have 1G/s yet, tho.

12:37

asciilifeform bonus, whole thing costs me <.1

12:37

asciilifeform: do you have mechanicals in stock? needs procuring?

12:37

ben_vulpes: i can procure, if you say which; but gotta have concrete plan .

12:39

asciilifeform: please to spec it out, yr the hardware guy. would this get attached to one of the rockchips?

12:39

btw folx, today is absolute last day for 'i want $custom-iron'

12:39

holy shit they're expensive now. i just bought a 4tb toshiba for ~100 bux locally ; seems item is like 120 or so online ?

12:39

don't need fat pipe to torrent for backups, will just take long time. my torrent box is on a very thin line, and i just set the upload/download max clients seed ratio etc. appropriately

12:40

phf suppose tomorrow you decide you want to see $item you read on trilema. should it take you a week ?

phf so now it will be streaming speed.

12:41

asciilifeform: and what machine to hook it to?

12:42

ben_vulpes: this was a q for ben_vulpes , who has seen what's in the rack and knows if any empty holes

12:43

(but also this is a thin pipe for 2-9gb customary torrent sizes, i know mircea_popescu is partial to 750mb prints)

12:44

lobbes you added gopher to your hopper ?! what did grace say ?

12:45

Lol

12:46

asciilifeform: all of the machines in the rack are being used; i was asking if one of the rockchips can handle this kind of duty.

12:46

mircea_popescu: well, sometimes quality does suck, when you do e.g. a wall projection. those 9gb prints are usually done by obsessive people. but main reason is that i'm pulling from slav sources, where 800mb version is slav audio track only. "original audio track" is a bonus on those "archival" prints

12:46

ben_vulpes mechanical poor fit for rockchip.

12:46

ben_vulpes: rockchip can drive a single usb3 disk, with appropriate cable.

12:46

phf i can't fucking STAND dubs.

12:47

kinda why i have 0 interest in teh ruworld torrents, nfi who told these folks it's ok to hire some tolomak to do say richard burton. wtf.

12:48

asciilifeform: i don't think we have a machine that is even free for this purpose; and so don't understand why we'd ship hdds down without a machine to put 'em in, although i could be being thick and not seeing something

12:48

btw i oughta say a word re how rockchiptron reproduces. i wrote a bit of script, ./breed_boot.sh /dev/sd_whatever_cardreader_with_card_in_it -- produces copy of the boot card ; ./breed_root.sh /dev/large_enuff_disk copies the root partition contents onto a new part on said disk

12:48

well, i download the 9gb versions, and have a script that keeps only one specific audio track. the whole thing is a semi manual process though, since i have to select the right track by ear, etc.

12:48

and thus the box can breed copies of self

12:49

i don't at present recode them because space is cheap

12:50

but yeah dub world is funny. heated debates over whether translation by say borodinsky or kozlov are better

12:51

curl http://trilema.com/category/trilematograf/ | wc -l > 481

12:51

481 * 9 = 4329, ie more than the hd i bought. not cheap.

12:51

phf the notion that you'll have a local capable of the delivery of any arbitrary actor... really ? kozlov gonna sound like marylin ? slim ? etcetera ?

12:52

scandal!

12:53

mircea_popescu: traditional ru dub is either 1 voice, or ('classy!') 2, male/female

12:53

so, even worse.

12:54

no, i know. terrible orcism.

12:54

what, russkis can't read subtitles like sane fucking people ?

12:55

i suspect there's su-era nostalgia keeping the thing alive. sorta how in jp old farts are ~100% of whale meat market, because mcarthur fed it to'em back in the day

12:55

su underground film translators simply had no access to subbing gear

12:55

i guess. it's not even that good!

12:55

aha, is the point

12:56

phf what are you using btw ? i'm thinking deluge, apparently has a web interface can just get the girlies set up with.

12:59

aria2, i think it has a web interface even, but the whole thing is entirely automatic. cron to hoover up torrents from ~/Downloads, ssh them into a box folder, sleep based script picks it up on other end, feeds it to aria, when finished downloading writes it to an rss and also to a directory that's expose through apache

12:59

asciilifeform incidentally, here's an idea : think sokoban, but extended so that 1. there's enemies, which can kill you, and 2. you can actually shoot projectiles at them. take advantage of diagonal/straight piercing/exploding and of course destroyable/nondestroyable movable/non movable environment.

12:59

phf i intend to use the box as the center.

13:00

mircea_popescu: 'supaplex', msdos

13:00

asciilifeform nah, there's no firing.

13:00

hmm.

13:00

but the bonus gravity is a good idea.

13:00

this'd be like... the definitive platformer.

13:01

verily

13:01

also, sokoban is an achieve-structure game ; supaplex more of a reach-x

13:01

deluge looks workable, but i've never used it. i used https://transmissionbt.com/ but not their web interface

13:01

phf the spec here is "have a library of good films accessible to friends" rather than "i want to watch something between blowjobs"

13:02

asciilifeform "move that crate to the left, but NOT YET or else that weird plant shoots you as it's exactly diagonal"

13:03

PLUS you get for the first time now the best thing ever : your guy can a) learn (say, spells) and b) equip, items. because there's meaningful effects to have.

13:04

ima fucking spec this.

13:09

rtorrent's pretty good for "run as service"

the transmission web interface is fine

18:35

you wanna share ?

18:35

I've been digging in here for about 15 minutes, and I've found the spot where we eject out those two vpatches. And the reason is that I do a kinda shitty check. Where I just compare that the number of node edges is equal to the number of expected.

18:36

SIMPLE REFERENCE COUNT GARBAGE COLLECTOR!!!

18:36

And in the case here, we have 1 more for each vpatch, where the extra one matches one already in the set. If I were to check each one to the other, then I think it'd be better, and avoid this problem. So I'm kinda working on a solution now.

18:36

is the story in the log even ?

I do regret all the tats now, but I went though a period and went a bit nuts

mircea_popescu, crap, apologies for the mess on trilema, I have no idea why it gets cut off. I'll try to repost the comment tomorrow

21:21

mod6: the graph on btcbase vtools is the only way it can possibly press. either the left branch or the right branch. changing the order, or introducing the patches from left into right, or right into left is going to break manifest.

phf: i patched by hand in the order shown on the right path of your graph: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/3ujyM/?raw=true

right hand

vtools_genesis.vpatch -> vtools_vdiff_sha.vpatch -> vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch

phf: ahh, ok now im looking at your graph, my graph, and my press path. your right path does ~NOT~ contain 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch'. My press path does.

21:52

👍

21:53

I believe what might be happening here is that my traversal follows all edges, where as yours does something different perhaps

21:53

phf any chance logotron might replace unicode barf with the "unicode name" ?

21:54

my vtron pulls in 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' because it is an antecedent of 'vdiff_sha_static.vpatch' : http://www.mod6.net/2018/April/10/vtools_graph.html

21:54

mod6 i thought you didn't want to fuck with this anymore, in which case could just wait for him to finish and publish his grapher. or is it fun ?

21:55

lol, well i don't wanna have to fuck with it. and it's not exactly fun. but i really can't stop either.

21:55

i think i have dane bramage.

21:55

eh, relax, for all practical purposes we have this in hand, hanbot managed to press her press. it's not an emergency.

21:56

alright, i have a drive to get to the bottom of things. will back off.

21:56

it's nice and good, if it's pleasurable, or needful. but if it's neither don't drive yourself batty out of sheer masochism.

21:56

no worries. thanks Mr. P.

21:57

mircea_popescu: i believe the only way to identify unicode barf is by maintaining or downloading explicit lists. we have legitimate unicode barf, so blanket replacement isn't going to work

21:58

darn.

i think i'm going to add a replacement engine instead, where various words get replaced with emoji

22:06

face-facing fist more like it.

22:06

who the fuck told these idiots fists have faces anyway.

22:08

where the fuck is the "queer" modifier anyway. you can say "nigger washingmachine judge" but you can't say "faggot judge" ? what's this, fellow traveller disenfranchisement ?

22:08

jeez i don't even know how to work with this soup in sbcl, that woman judge entry translates to, i shit you not, the following sequence of sbcl character names: ("WOMAN" "U1F3FE" "ZERO_WIDTH_JOINER" "SCALES" "VARIATION_SELECTOR-16")

22:21

phf here's a perhaps useful summa of all this : add the name as a tooltip ? so if i hover it shows it, and if it's useless well, so be it.

22:23

trilema does this for footnotes by setting the "title" attribute on a tag, but i imagine same can be done with a div ?

22:25

hmm, interesting, i could put a title where everything above a ascii is decomposed into names

22:26

something like that.

i'm 37, i'm not old.

22:36

It does, but my problem is, I don't want to commit to something since I can't think of anything that I can see myself doing forever.

22:36

If that makes sense.

22:36

that's one way of looking at it.

22:36

Ive just never done something I have been super passionate about.

well... why not ?

Its always out of necessity.

22:37

When you have to keep a baby fed and the lights on, it limits things a bit.

22:46

sarah443 how's offensive research go ?

22:46

yea the child predator stuff is kind of odd IMO

22:46

since it seems like they sorta bait people

22:46

ive only seen a few eps though, not sure how they actually do it

22:47

They actually use bots to troll people into talking with them and chat analysis

22:48

ckang structure determines content and all that. once you try to go in the "i can't believe" bla bla format, you'll be producing the repsective content.

22:48

mircea_popescu: I guess a more proactive approach, most stuff is counter active, post mortems

22:48

If that makes sense?

22:48

not exactly. got an example ?

22:49

Well say a site is hacked, the group leaves their tag somewhere.

22:49

not usually.

22:49

I want to be in these groups, not as law enforcement.

22:49

but more so boots on the ground for the industry

22:50

Whichever it may be, counterfieting stuff has always seemed interesting

22:50

China is incredible at some of the stuff they do with that

22:50

lol, I got a chinese knife

22:50

umh. counterfeiting as in, pucci bags and whatnot ?

22:51

22:51

the good mfgs will use D2 steel and such

22:52

but yea agreed most stuff is 100% garbage

22:53

There are whole portions of the internet that are pretty much China only. ecommerce wise.

22:53

sarah443 ok, and it's a living, tenuous and marginal as it may be, buy shit in china resell it in the states. but how's this relate to website defacing ?

22:54

the lengths they go through to counterfeit is pretty wild

22:54

mircea_popescu: It depends on the attack

22:54

Remember back during the anon/lulzsec days?

22:55

yes ?

22:55

That was all about being vocal, "we did it, so what?"

22:55

mmm

22:55

this is a very... perception-driven approach to the events.

22:55

The social justice hackers, that was a bad example

22:56

But I don't want to just look over past things and try to figure things out, I want to be there before anything happens

22:56

well, are you familiar with computer arcana ?

22:57

Just for a journalistic point, I can't work for law enforcement

22:57

Im not, arcana is like magic?

22:58

well, technically arcana denotes finnicky, complicated and not directly obvious points.

22:58

anyway, if you don't understand computers, how would you "be there" "before anything happens" ?

22:58

I was thinking arcane :)

22:58

sure, arcana is the noun of arcane.

22:59

Well theres movements taking place that eventually will become bigger deals

22:59

or become nothing at all.

22:59

In the political communities

23:00

but do you then have a journalistic platform, like, working relationships with many/most publishers ?

23:00

You have 2 extremes

23:00

yes.

23:00

i'm an extremist after all. gotta keep up the standards.

23:01

Working with publishers, but I was thinking about maybe doing web editorials. I like the quick turn around time on that media and distribution

23:01

like Motherboard puts out some interesting reads sometimes

23:01

it doesn't help your cause that online media is just about dead.

23:02

The entire darknet market thing was something I really wanted to delv into

23:02

Super interesting but its being forced further underground

23:02

not much there, I reckon. usg honeypots

23:03

Some of the research they did on them was pretty interesting, like quality of drugs for example

23:03

Was typically way better

23:03

nobody's forcing anything anywhere ; the "darknet" bla bla is "being forced underground" in the exact sense the previous emo generation was "being forced into the closet".

23:03

Well, its more so the government cracking down and people get spooked I suppose

23:04

I folllow deepdotweb on twitter and they have some good articles sometimes

23:04

spooked my foot, when we looked through the smoldering pile left after that idiot ross, it came to light ~nobody was using rsa.

23:05

Yeah amazing how others repeat the mistakes the previous iteration.

23:05

Its almost like planning the perfect murder lol

23:05

You see those shows and think, "oh, I wouldnt screw that up"

23:06

eh. the quality of police work has so terribly degraded in the past half century, if anyone does ANY PLANNING AT ALL it's a murder that'll never get solved.

23:06

half the ones with 0 planning also make the cut.

23:06

The police are a joke, if you have ever seen that show 'First 48'

23:06

Its pretty obvious how little they know but try to make people think they do.

23:07

i don't really watch tv.

23:07

Same, don't have cable anymore, got to the point where I didn't even use it.

23:07

but i do get court report summaries and all sorts of other things.

23:08

I love PACER

23:08

Can get lost for hours looking through stuff sometimes.

23:09

so why not make a blog, publish summaries ?

23:09

I follow little niche stories and try to keep the respective communities up to date on the happenings.

23:10

They dont see the mainstream media or any other outlet so they would go undocumented otherwise

23:10

yes, but your problem is that if you don't build either your skill or your platform, you will get absolutely nowhere.

23:11

My skills are more in sleuthing than writing

23:11

there's a fundamental difference between "i am sarah and i have a kid to feed" and "i am sarah, and i can put your words before 1mn social media nobodies" or "i'm publish weekly in every porn mag there is" or whatever.

23:12

Yea that would be a good gig, writing interesting short but digestible articles.

23:12

sarah443 that's unfortunate, very bright minds were on the record complainign there's no good market for sleuthing for fundamental reasons. like http://btcbase.org/log/2015-08-13#1237185
