03:51 DaemonFC; "Clearcoat paint is standard." Yeah, it peeled too.
03:51 DaemonFC; I got the 1992 Lumina from my dad and drove it for a while. It held up mechanically quite well.
03:52 DaemonFC; But the body was pretty ugly from clearcoat peeling.
03:56 DaemonFC; There is no throttle linkage on my Buick. They completely removed the accelerator cable.
03:56 DaemonFC; There's an electronic sensor and motor for the throttle body.
03:57 DaemonFC; "A great lineup of affordable family vehicles."
03:57 DaemonFC; Oh my how things have changed.
03:57 DaemonFC; Junk from Mexico....$60,000.
03:58 DaemonFC; Payments that go on for 7 years.
03:58 DaemonFC; This would have been so absurd back in the 80s and 90s that nobody would have believed it.
03:58 DaemonFC; I mean, sure people financed cars all the time, but I can't remember anyone getting a car loan that went on past 4-5 years.

04:00 TR Bot; At $14,750, Is This 1995 BMW 750iL A Pretty Good Deal?
04:01 DaemonFC; Well I can't say I like how cramped the engine bay is, but that's something all BMWs suffer from. Looks like there's at least less plastic in a 1995.
04:02 DaemonFC; The interior leather seats and console look like something out of 90s Star Trek.
04:02 MinceR; too bad it's 27 years old so it's a miracle there's something left of it that you can show to people who are not using a microscope
04:04 DaemonFC; MinceR, My Buick is holding up well for being 14 years old.
04:04 DaemonFC; Although I did have to replace a lot of wear items and flush out all the fluids.
04:05 DaemonFC; It runs really well now though.
04:06 DaemonFC; It got a brake job yesterday. Pads, rotors....had the fluid flushed out at Chevy when I was up there anyway for something else.
04:06 DaemonFC; Two new front wheel hub bearings.
04:06 DaemonFC; One had seized up.
04:06 DaemonFC; The car was just kind of pushing it along.
04:07 DaemonFC; The powertrain seems to be in fine shape though.
04:07 DaemonFC; If I ever do lose the radiator, it's not going to be an OE radiator that replaces it. It'll be one of those ones from China. It's kind of hard to screw up a radiator, so there's really no reason to buy an OE one.
04:08 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
04:08 DaemonFC; But the flush job seemed to clear out all of the gunk.
04:08 DaemonFC; MinceR, That's sort of the secret to car ownership.
04:08 DaemonFC; You learn where you need OE parts and where you really don't.
04:09 DaemonFC; Anything that really takes a lot of abuse, you have to be careful what you buy. AutoZone will sell you a belt tensioner for the Buick for $50, but it won't be a quality part.
04:09 DaemonFC; I made the mistake on my Taurus of using an AutoZone belt tensioner and it was broken again within 2 years.
04:11 DaemonFC; MinceR, I heard a good one the other day.
04:11 DaemonFC; Landlords are almost all Republicans, and they complain about people on welfare sitting around waiting for money to appear.
04:11 DaemonFC; Irony.
04:12 DaemonFC; My landlord doesn't drive a luxury car though, at least.
04:12 DaemonFC; He drives an early 2000s Ford Explorer.
04:13 DaemonFC; It's nice to know that he's not jacking up our rent and then driving a $90,000 car with it, you know.
04:21 DaemonFC; MinceR, Pads and rotors on both axles and two wheel hub bearings on the Buick was cheaper than just a wheel hub bearing for MARISOL's BMW.
04:21 DaemonFC; Nice, huh?
04:21 DaemonFC; THey have gourmet coffee at BMW!
04:24 DaemonFC; MinceR, I have a BMW joke for you.
04:24 DaemonFC; Knock Knock.
04:25 DaemonFC; Who
04:25 DaemonFC; Err, Who's there?
04:25 DaemonFC; Cylinder 5!

04:31 DaemonFC; Scotty Kilmer got a reader question about running over a porcupine and ending up with quills in his tire and asking if he should leave it alone or take them out, and Kilmer says leave them in until you can get to the shop and just replace the tire. "I don't know if insurance covers porcupine damage.".
04:32 DaemonFC; They actually will if you have comprehensive, but it's probably not worth filing a claim.
04:32 inbloom; american cars breakdown alot
04:33 DaemonFC; I mean, maybe if the tires are really expensive tires or something. Like you're a MARISOL and just got conned into paying $1,600 for four tires, and your insurance deductible is $500, you may get a $900 check if you ran over some porcupines and they poppes all of your tires.
04:33 inbloom; use to much gaz
04:33 DaemonFC; The Buick doesn't use that much for a 3800 V6.
04:33 inbloom; the metal corrodes fast and they use to much
04:33 inbloom; they drive like bathtube
04:34 DaemonFC; Even before the wheel hubs in the front got replaced yesterday because of one that was dragging, I was getting 20 in the city in it.
04:34 DaemonFC; Which is better than the Impala.
04:34 inbloom; the seats look like sofas
04:34 DaemonFC; The KIA was only getting like 24, and that wasn't a really big or powerful car.
04:34 DaemonFC; The KIA engines are just built like crap.
04:35 DaemonFC; They burn oil, they catch on fire, they're not efficient for their displacement and cylinder count and the weight of the vehicle.
04:36 inbloom; killed in action

04:38 DaemonFC; "When the Active Eco System is activated, drivers may experience reduced acceleration performance, limited air conditioner function, a different shift pattern and a louder engine all occurrences happening to improve gas mileage."
04:39 DaemonFC; Oh good. Lousy engine performance, crappy air conditioning, and noise.
04:39 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
04:40 DaemonFC; How, exactly, does making the engine noisier improve fuel economy?
04:43 inbloom; DaemonFC is some guy out from the mad max movie
04:43 DaemonFC; The Buick is going in next week for rust repair so it's back to driving the Impala around for a little while.
04:44 DaemonFC; There's not much rust on the Buick considering the age, but I intend to get rid of the body rust. The undercarriage looks really good.
04:44 DaemonFC; The gas tank might even be new.
04:44 inbloom; its not rust it patina

06:24 matey; so the thing about reproducible builds vs "who wrote what" is...
06:25 *inbloom (~6d466455@54n9xgft8g6u2.irc) has joined #techrights
06:25 matey; reproducible builds can be automated and proven, consensus can be reached on whether its verified
06:25 matey; who wrote what (in terms of credits being available) is mostly a solved problem
06:25 matey; who not to trust will never be a solved problem
06:26 matey; however, lets say it WAS solved
06:26 matey; even if you trusted everyone who wrote the code, thats misses the point doesnt it?
06:26 matey; because to know whose code was in the binary...
06:26 matey; youd need some way to verify the build...
06:26 matey; and now (hopefully) you understand why this is solving what CAN be solved and (not only that) what has to be solved
06:27 matey; for the "who to trust" thing to even make it into the binary
06:27 matey; (of course this is common sense)
06:27 inbloom; trust no one
06:27 matey; he changed that to "trust everyone" in another episode
06:28 inbloom; who?
06:28 matey; mulder
06:28 matey; /me doesnt trust people who say "trust no one" because its what they would want (probably)
06:28 psydruid; stop resisting and trust everyone
06:28 matey; unless theyre lying, then its moot
06:29 inbloom; you can trust them to lie
06:29 matey; only in labyrinth
06:30 *techrights-ipfs-bot (~techrights-ipfs-bot@s44cwn8sugddy.irc) has joined #techrights
06:31 matey; of course calling something a "verifiable build" when it contains blobs is funny
06:31 matey; you could take a completely unverified build, put that blob in a verifiable build process and call the output "verifiable"
06:32 psydruid; a verifiably unverifiable build
06:32 matey; which is cynical, but mostly an illustration of how funny the idea of "reproducible builds" with blobs is
06:32 matey; s/verified/reproducible/ s/verifiable/reproducible/
06:33 matey; /me thinks a reproducible build with unreproducible blobs should be called a farcical build, but this isnt a knock on the process itself
06:34 matey; if its applied to a blobless source then its not as silly
06:34 matey; however, i suspect the whole thing will be used to sell things like flatcrap
06:35 *goosestepping_ has quit (Quit: GOODBYE!!!)
06:35 matey; i mean in practice, people will use it as a lever to say "why bother with source?"
06:36 matey; "this is literally the exact binary you would get if you made it yourself"
06:36 matey; and since they wont verify every system, im sure...
06:37 matey; it will be used to push certain build systems over others as "secure build" vs not
06:37 psydruid; I remember getting some GNOME application to build was so hard that they recommended just installing the flatcrap
06:37 matey; none of which means its a bad idea
06:37 matey; but even good ideas can have terrible side effects

06:58 matey; ACTION verifiably reproduces the earth and obtains a flawed replica that can absolutely not be trusted to spin around its axis in the right direction <- even that would be less trouble than trying to chat in every irc channel at the same time
06:59 matey; the barriers between channels is a feature. of course, some people would like to bridge all the channels, and thats fine for the people who want that
06:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 18.50 k/sec., IPFS upstream 27.95 average k/sec., average swarm size 318.21
07:00 matey; but very large channels tend to stifle conversation
07:00 matey; and simulating a very large channel just makes the whole thing read like an appointment book
07:01 matey; and every appointment is about a hypothetical conversation that rarely ever happens
07:02 matey; id rather just use the channel according to its basic design. if other people want to try to squeeze more out of the various networks, theyre free to
07:02 matey; but for me it does very little, its just extra work without much payoff
07:03 matey; the puritan farmer approach to irc, till the soil until there are no minerals left to support crop growth
07:08 inbloom; will elon musk buy irc too?
07:10 matey; he already did, under the pseudonym of andrew lee
07:10 matey; and it had exactly the opposite effect promised
07:10 matey; freenode went from awful to worthless, and everyone moved to an even LESS free irc
07:11 matey; it was supposed to be some sort of renaissance
07:11 matey; instead it was more of an impressionist
07:12 matey; though tbh, killing the freenode monopoly wasnt all bad
07:12 matey; you could argue that it needed to die
07:13 matey; but just like the fsf, there were so many ways to fight that didnt leave us worse off
07:13 matey; i mean, even if killing freenode was a given, there were better ways with better outcomes
07:14 matey; we didnt have to kill it with pure stupidity which is what happened

07:56 matey; baudot is all we need

08:12 activelow; gtk2 is slighly confusing, because it seems not consistent among minor version bumps; gtk2.6 used an older pango version 1.8... moment
08:13 matey; i think we can rule out unicode as a jewish conspiracy
08:13 matey; Code page 862 ( CCSID 862) (also known as CP 862, IBM 00862, OEM 862 (Hebrew), MS-DOS Hebrew) is a code page used under DOS in Israel for Hebrew. Like ISO 8859-8, it encodes only letters, not vowel-points or cantillation marks.

08:41 matey; and that makes it a bitch
08:41 matey; let me put it this way
08:41 matey; ive written programs designed to work on a LOT of different data
08:42 matey; and when i switched from python 2 to python 3
08:42 matey; i spent hours and hours making it work with the unicode-centricity of python 3
08:42 matey; then i spent six months testing the python 3 version
08:42 matey; it worked pretty reliably for that long
08:42 matey; then one day, i spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out why something just wasnt working
08:43 matey; and i recompiled the program into python 2 instead of 3 and it worked
08:43 matey; and i said fuck python 3 forever
08:43 matey; its wonky as fuck
08:43 matey; and unicode is the reason
08:43 matey; python 2 is also wonky, but its more graceful about this
08:43 matey; you cant win with unicode
08:44 matey; you can only lose less (sometimes)
08:44 psydruid; because Unicode itself is broken?
08:44 psydruid; could it be fixed?

19:11 bnchs; "Scenario: we have a php 7 web application using IIS10 via FastCGI. We did performance testing on our application and noticed a slowdown. We ruled out the database tier. We looked at the IIS server and, even under heavy load, when the app slows down dramatically, the resources are not strained... no CPU spikes no RAM spikes. Digging further we came to the conclusion that all the requests coming in are simply being queued. When some of requests take
19:11 bnchs; longer (for some very large reports that take 1-3 minutes) then every other request is being queued up waiting for the first ones to go through."
19:12 bnchs; your web server is slow but fuck you anyway
19:12 bnchs; use ASP.net bitch
19:13 psydruid; toy software for kids

19:14 bnchs; your website has to handle tons of request at once
19:14 psydruid; "My First Slow ASP.NET Malware Site"
19:14 bnchs; this is easy to configure in nginx and apache, but in IIS, you're gonna kill yourself
19:16 psydruid; my only experience with a Windows server is taking Windows 2003 SBS Server offline and replacing it with GNU/Linux to act as a file server and adding a newer ESXi virtualisation server for running Windows 2003 and 2008 guests as terminal servers
19:16 psydruid; I've never used anything from their server stack of turds
19:18 bnchs; IIS with PHP (fastcgi) is slow as fuck because of their one-at-a-time request queue
19:18 bnchs; it may work for small websites
19:18 bnchs; but break in larger websites
19:18 bnchs; php-fpm handles this much better
19:19 psydruid; I think it's a good thing IIS works like this, though
19:19 psydruid; it's easy to DoS and take offline
19:19 bnchs; happened with my ministry of education official site
19:20 bnchs; they had to take it offline for the day because of too many people

21:24 DaemonFC; Fixed a typo.
21:26 DaemonFC; "The fact that AAA lobbies against motorist rights and for unconstitutional and corrupt traffic camera schemes and ridiculously low speed limits that nobody pays attention to is like finding out your donations to Planned Parenthood are actually funding Female Genital Mutilation (and as far as I know, THAT isnt happening, but AAA is the car owners version of that)."
21:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, MetroMile fucked me real good on Roadside once.
21:27 DaemonFC; So I was in Fort Wayne, Indiana which is 200 MILES from Chicago.
21:28 DaemonFC; And then my Crown Victoria blows a brake line. I called MetroMile for a tow. I bought the Roadside because mom kept letting our AAA lapse and I didn't want to call and find out it wasn't working.
21:29 DaemonFC; So, I get in my MetroMile app and ask for a tow. Nothing happens. I call them, they say "Well, we sent a tow truck to your location on Wacker Drive.
21:30 DaemonFC; I say "I'm not on Wacker Drive. I'm on State Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana. How can you have something on my phone with GPS access and plugged into my car with GPS access and think I'm in Chicago?".
21:30 DaemonFC; mjg59_'s San Francisco tech bubble economy.
21:31 DaemonFC; But it qualifies as having liability coverage and my bills were averaging $20 a month because they're a questionable insurance outfit running on VC losses like everything in mjg59_-land.
21:31 DaemonFC; :)
21:32 DaemonFC; And if I hit anyone and they sued MetroMile, not really my problem. So their lawyer and MetroMile would get into a shit throwing contest.
21:32 DaemonFC; But now that I have a nice car, I'm using an established insurance company.
21:32 DaemonFC; When you get "full coverage", MetroMile really isn't good on price anymore.
21:32 DaemonFC; And you may end up filing a claim for yourself.... So you may as well take your business to a reputable firm.
21:33 DaemonFC; Instead of going "$20 a month and if I hit anything, not my circus not my monkeys.".
21:33 DaemonFC; I mean, other than being in CLUE, but that'll happen regardless of who you caused the loss to.
21:34 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: can you proofread with me?
21:35 DaemonFC; I ended up having to literally push my Crown Vic into a Midas nearby and tell them "replace the brake lines" while one of their mechanics steered me in.
21:35 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, Yeah, real quick.
21:35 DaemonFC; Gotta go to the post office soon to mail MetroMile their shit back.

21:36 DaemonFC; Which someone else probably would have done regardless at some point.

21:41 DaemonFC; Local Privilege Escalations are bugs, yes, but they are of low concern (and do get fixed). Anyone with direct physical access to a computer can elevate their privileges eventually. And on Windows there's a ton of them which sometimes even bypass the TPM and Bitlocker. There was one in the print spooler, for example, last summer. But it happens all the time on Windows and you don't even see it much in "the news".
21:41 DaemonFC; Any user on the machine could become SYSTEM and read your files, even if they were "protected". So that's Windows for you.
21:42 bnchs; in GNU/Linux, you would have to boot to another OS to get root
21:42 DaemonFC; Becoming SYSTEM is an even bigger disaster than becoming ADMINISTRATOR, because in Windows, this means that you're...well, part of the system. You can even patch and hook into things that are "secured" and off limits to ADMINISTRATOR.
21:43 DaemonFC; Stuff that normally requires digital signing no longer requires digital signing.
21:43 DaemonFC; So at this point, rootkit? Sure.
21:43 DaemonFC; And all it takes is someone running as a Guest or as a user with no administrator hat to run a file that knows where the vulnerabilities are.
21:45 DaemonFC; Microsoft was in the news (their news) recently for raising the bug bounty. It's still less than Google's, and way less than what those things are worth to nation state attackers, terrorists, and ransomware outfits.

21:45 DaemonFC; By a factor of $10,000:$1 sometimes.
21:45 MinceR; it's still wasted money from their perspective
21:46 MinceR; that could be better spent on corruption, ads and lawyers
21:46 DaemonFC; Even if you get $40,000 out of Microsoft's bug bounty system somehow, the ransomware gangs can just explout it and make $20 million or more on one hit.
21:46 DaemonFC; So they'll pay better each time and it's simply up to the conscience of whoever found the problem in Windows as to what they want to do with it at that point.
21:47 DaemonFC; So the bug bounties are a ruse, a smoke screen, and the illusion of responsibility. In Linux, people find and fix bugs all the time. The code isn't hidden. That leads, usually, to inevitable discovery, and quick patching.
21:48 DaemonFC; People want to find bugs in Linux and report and fix hundreds of the same type, so they develop tools that can do things like that. Microsoft is annoyed that you reported one.
21:49 DaemonFC; Even over a decade ago before profiling tools were not as robust, not by a long shot, Coverity Scan admitted that "open source software, in general" was less than half as buggy as a comparable proprietary program.
21:50 DaemonFC; The proprietary software is sort of like the worst case situation for your security because they have little incentive to fix it unless there's already malware out there and they just can't hide the bugs any longer.
21:51 schestowitz; added
21:51 DaemonFC; It's like General Motors putting defective ignition switches in millions of cars for a decade after they knew they were shutting off the car unexpectedly and killing people in accidents.
21:51 DaemonFC; GM figured it'll cost $1 a car to fix this problem, then come all of the recalls, and we'll just grind them down with stall tactics and lawyers and stuff if they ever find out, and the settlement will still cost less.
21:52 DaemonFC; So that's what we do.

21:58 DaemonFC; It's crazy what corporations get away with, but money talks.
21:58 DaemonFC; People complain that, like, car repair bills are very expensive.
22:00 DaemonFC; They're expensive because of a lot of factors. That mechanic is a skilled laborer. Car prices are horrible, so the skill is in demand, and the demand exceeds the supply. There's overhead to running the shop. The shop has to fix problems with their work, for free, if one arises while it's covered under the parts and labor warranty. If you get out on the road and their job was substandard, they can be sued, so they have to carry liability
22:00 DaemonFC; insurance that covers their legal defense and damages and the more it happens the more the insurance costs.
22:01 DaemonFC; Yes, you can go get a part for $164 at AutoZone. It won't be a good part, but you can get that part. For $250 you get the part that's OEM, and it meets standards and will last a lot longer. But where they "get you" is labor hours, because they're skilled, they have overhead, and they are liable for what the repair does later on after they sell you the service.
22:01 activelow; DaemonFC: local privilege escalations are very dangerous in conjunction with a remote-execution vulnerability of various types
22:01 DaemonFC; So the job might suddenly cost $600-700, because that guy knows how to do something you don't, uses quality parts, and gets to eat the consequences if something bad happens and you get a lawyer.
22:02 activelow; a security concept is, to isolate all processes with networking as non-root account... guess what happens with a local root priv escalation
22:02 DaemonFC; You can repair your own car. You can also perform surgery on yourself in the bathroom mirror.
22:02 DaemonFC; Most people shouldn't.
22:03 DaemonFC; a security concept is, to isolate all processes with networking as non-root account... guess what happens with a local root priv escalation
22:03 DaemonFC; I do like the principles of a system like MINIX. One of the big flaws of Linux is everything in kernel space.
22:04 activelow; the recent linux dirtypipe CVE is another one of Torvald's such as dirty CoW was
22:04 DaemonFC; At the time, computers were very slow and so unless you wanted an unacceptable performance loss, you had to do it the way Linux ended up.
22:04 TR News; Today we wish to take stock of a bunch of misleading, sensationalist coverage about Linux; as usual, Microsoft is connected to that, even more directly than one might expect http://techrights.org/2022/04/27/secfud-aggression-and-deflection/

23:52 bnchs; imgur's server reports gif on the content-type header
23:52 bnchs; the extension on the URL doesn't mean shit anymore
23:52 MinceR; it never meant shit
23:52 SomeH4x0r; oh, iirc sometimes .png having better quality than .jpg on imgur
23:52 DaemonFC; The bonds are attached to a district of Florida government, not the Disney corporation. So the credit rating damage will be to Florida, not Disney.
23:52 MinceR; it's a uniform resource locator, not a path or file name
23:52 DaemonFC; This is what happens when you allow something like this to happen to begin with, schestowitz-TR
23:52 schestowitz-TR; bnchs: but try with xxx
23:52 schestowitz-TR; 404
23:52 MinceR; you might receive a filename in the HTTP header though
23:53 bnchs; they only check common file extensions
23:53 bnchs; i think
23:53 MinceR; in the Content-Disposition field
23:53 schestowitz-TR; MinceR: but "the internet is for porn" (satire)
23:53 MinceR; so grab your dick and double-click for porn, porn, porn
23:53 schestowitz-TR; so their website is dumb
23:53 schestowitz-TR; they ignore the last bit
23:53 bnchs; the internet is for any kind of porn
23:54 schestowitz-TR; but reject it is unknown content mime type?
23:54 bnchs; MinceR, no they don't report the actual filename in content-disposition field
23:54 MinceR; they handle some suffixes in a special way, iirc
23:54 bnchs; so the browser will download the gif as a PNG or jpg
23:54 schestowitz-TR; bnchs: but try with txt
23:54 MinceR; yeah, they don't
