04:39 *oarion7 has quit (Quit: Running IRC on a charmed medieval abacus.)
04:40 TR News; Many people realise distrowatch is a Russian site, right? And that not every single Russian citizen, inc. those unwilling/unable to leave, supports Putin or the war...
04:41 TR News; nginx, which powers a lot of today's Web, is also Russian, even if a US company bought it. Should we all boycott the Web? Or every site that uses nginx as webserver?
04:42 TR News; Boycott Putin, not every single Russian. Putin isn't democratically elected. It's a farcical system where opposition (potent one) isn't permitted. More so with the war; nowadays opposition is framed as "defection"...
04:43 TR News; The FSF has not done _enough_ to oppose people who try to fracture Free software using the war in Ukraine
04:44 TR News; There are even trolls who say we should ban Russians using Free software, but they overlook ISIS using it too. Because it has nothing to do with morals, it's more like trolling, intentional or indirect.
04:45 TR News; There are many people who pushed for CAs to revoke certs for Russian sites (no matter their position on the war). What next? Ban all Russian IP addresses from IRC networks? Russia is still a very large nation.
04:45 TR News; Political trolling comes in many forms, and hypocrisy/double standards would be prime hallmarks of it.
04:46 TR News; Regata 23.0.2 (GNU/Linux) and SmartOS 20230406 are out for download. In some nations, GNU/Linux is already on more than 1 in 10 laptops/desktops. Corporate media on the "dole" of Apple and Microsoft will never talk about that.
04:48 TR News; Mobile "phones" are computers, but the transition to them was accompanied by MANY further restrictions, embedded in one fell swoop. Good luck installing a distro of your choice on an "average" 'smart'phone.
04:48 TR News; UEFI 'secure boot' should go the way of the Intel dodo.

04:52 elusive_woman; distrowatch isn't very useful, i wouldn't miss it
04:53 elusive_woman; the distro rankings are based on hits, not too accurate
04:53 schestowitz[TR2]; there is a lot more to it than that table
04:53 schestowitz[TR2]; weekly newsletter
04:53 schestowitz[TR2]; index of reviews
04:53 elusive_woman; theres plenty of sites that indicate when the new version of ubuntu has been released
04:53 schestowitz[TR2]; new release notifications..
04:54 schestowitz[TR2]; elusive_woman: name some
04:54 schestowitz[TR2]; that go beyond ubuntu
04:54 elusive_woman; lxer
04:54 schestowitz[TR2]; lxer has low s/n ratio as too many howtos
04:54 schestowitz[TR2]; not news
04:54 schestowitz[TR2]; 1) i don't use distro [x]
04:54 elusive_woman; i dont bother with distrowatch's reviews
04:54 schestowitz[TR2]; 2) i don't need to know how to install [y] on [x]
04:55 elusive_woman; your site is more useful
04:55 schestowitz[TR2]; the howtos are clustered together
04:55 elusive_woman; plus i found the perfect distro so im not really shopping around for a replacement
04:56 schestowitz[TR2]; which one?
04:56 elusive_woman; arch
04:56 schestowitz[TR2]; it's the basis for many others
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; good fallback for the debian family
04:57 elusive_woman; im not a fan of debian
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; debian became big
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; and thus targeted
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; by Google and others
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; via SPI
04:58 schestowitz[TR2]; even the CI was outsourced
04:58 schestowitz[TR2]; so debian lost autonomy
04:58 schestowitz[TR2]; the employers of DDs is another issue

06:08 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I've been going over mom's finances.

06:16 schestowitz[TR2]; marisol
06:17 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Yeah, I was talking to mom about opening up a Traditional IRA outside of her employer.
06:17 schestowitz[TR2]; "online-only" has downsides too
06:17 DaemonFC; Invest it in some CDs.
06:17 schestowitz[TR2]; they try to herd people off of serviuces
06:17 schestowitz[TR2]; or pay penalties
06:18 DaemonFC; Take tax deferral. 18 months later it closes out and deposits in her bank account and they have to tax it at a lower rate, plus she gets interest without taxation on the interest (growth).
06:18 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR2]> "online-only" has downsides too
06:18 schestowitz[TR2]; so you became her financial advisor?
06:19 DaemonFC; I earn about 460 times as much interest online as I do in my brick-and-mortar account.

06:20 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Yeah, I spent 3 hours on her taxes last night.
06:21 schestowitz[TR2]; the states want to control all possessions
06:21 schestowitz[TR2]; if you don't play ball, inflation has you "losing out"
06:21 DaemonFC; It does.
06:21 schestowitz[TR2]; the states, by controlling your assets, control you
06:22 schestowitz[TR2]; it's an old problem
06:22 DaemonFC; The interest rate on my CDs compensates me (almost) for what the BLS says inflation is.
06:22 schestowitz[TR2]; there are alternatives
06:22 schestowitz[TR2]; 1) have no savings
06:22 DaemonFC; It's better than most people do.
06:22 schestowitz[TR2]; 2) don't pay taxes (e.g. no official job)
06:22 schestowitz[TR2]; 34) communes
06:22 schestowitz[TR2]; but those come with other risks
06:24 DaemonFC; They expect that the CPI will show 3.8% on an annual basis as of the April 31 reading.
06:24 schestowitz[TR2]; biab
06:24 schestowitz[TR2]; market run
06:24 DaemonFC; So by locking in these rates, I could spend the duration of the CDs earning slightly more than inflation in interest.
06:36 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR2]: No, I understand that you consider ChromeOS to be GNU/Linux - my question was about Chromebook Secure Boot, which I can't find previous discussion of
06:37 DaemonFC; You can disable restricted boot on a Chromebook. My understanding is it just wipes the user data.
06:37 mjg59_; You can, but you can't easily re-key it
06:38 DaemonFC; Why would you want to?
06:38 mjg59_; Because you want the security of a signed boot chain, but you don't want a Google-managed OS?
06:39 DaemonFC; You can replace Chrome OS at this point, correct?
06:39 DaemonFC; There's also the Linux subsystem.
06:39 DaemonFC; I set that up for Mandy so he could learn about Linux without potentially destroying the OS in the process.
06:43 DaemonFC; mjg59_, I don't use a lot of proprietary software.
06:43 DaemonFC; I don't even have a "smart" watch. I have a solar one that updates itself using the radio signal for the atomic clock.
06:43 DaemonFC; Because I don't want GULAG to know how my heart is doing.
06:44 DaemonFC; I don't even want to know what the fucking piece of crap says.
06:44 DaemonFC; Because those things are notoriously unreliable and send people running to the ER.
06:44 DaemonFC; Just so the doctors can laugh at them and send them the bill, for nothing.
06:44 DaemonFC; I don't want them to know how many steps I take or when I sleep.
06:45 DaemonFC; And you put one of these expensive piece of crap on and it's not a quality piece of engineering.
06:45 DaemonFC; It's just another battery-draining monstrosity that collects data and sends it to them. You don't know why they use it.
06:45 DaemonFC; Can't be for anything good.
06:46 DaemonFC; Toss watch in trash, but $700 watch, every 3 years. Like "phone".
06:46 DaemonFC; *buy
06:46 DaemonFC; You get a Casio it'll be telling you the time for the rest of your life.
06:46 DaemonFC; Why do I want an "Apple Watch"?
06:47 DaemonFC; Jesus, how do companies like this climb to the top of the S&P?
06:47 DaemonFC; They're full of shit and make products for people who can barely figure out what to do next without a phone telling them at this point.
06:48 DaemonFC; mjg59_, I know you don't care if your employer has a future or provides value to anyone.
06:48 DaemonFC; The paychecks cash, for now.
06:48 DaemonFC; Isn't it the slightest bit soul-crushing that your work is a dead end and not benefiting the public at all?
06:49 DaemonFC; That it won't even ever be part of a valuable product in the best case>
06:49 DaemonFC; There's nothing valuable "secure boot" does. It has saved me from 0 pieces of malware, ever. Goose egg. I have literally NEVER had the problem it claims to solve.
06:50 DaemonFC; But it has stopped my computer from booting before and made me figure out how to reset it or turn it off.
06:51 DaemonFC; mjg59_, The people developing such useless things should be sent to do some useful task instead.
06:51 DaemonFC; Even something menial would benefit someone, somewhere.
06:51 DaemonFC; This is like these fucking cars that fight you for control of the steering wheel.
06:52 DaemonFC; I mean where the FUCK do they get off fighting ME for the wheel?
06:52 DaemonFC; Beeping at me, making me fight to get into a traffic lane?
06:52 DaemonFC; Making an accident about 1,000 times more likely than a car without the "safety" feature.
06:52 DaemonFC; I've driven long enough to know how to merge into a lane.
06:52 DaemonFC; I'm a veteran!
06:53 DaemonFC; These people writing this software and putting motors in the wheel to fight me should be punched in the face, hard.
06:54 DaemonFC; You're useful to people who want me to have no control over my computer and car. So I don't respect that.
06:55 DaemonFC; Sometimes if "safety" stuff malfunctions on my car, I just pry it off, or splice in a mod and lies to the computer to force another behavior.
06:55 DaemonFC; It's ridiculous even on a 2008.
06:55 DaemonFC; I had to patch in a airbag sensor emulator months back.
06:55 DaemonFC; Because GM stopped making replacement seat sensors and I was getting the "airbag off, on, off, on, off, on" warning.
06:56 DaemonFC; It would have been a $600 job even if they still made them, which they don't.
06:56 DaemonFC; So I unplugged the harness and plugged in a little module that lies to the car and says there's a 200 pound person in the seat all the time so the airbags get fired if there's a crash.
06:56 DaemonFC; Failing safe, just like a car from 2004 would have.
06:57 DaemonFC; mjg59_, So much of what I do is negative work, and it's because of people like you.
06:57 DaemonFC; Things I shouldn't have to do because they were designed by some fuck that gets paid to design bad things that nobody wants.

07:00 DaemonFC; The state should add criminal felony charges for transporting a minor from Florida for that purpose.

07:44 t0talist; well, a reliable read-only protection of specific RAM/ROM regions, almost, sufficed to enforce most of the "secure boot" policies
07:48 t0talist; while ago, some tiny BIOS was stored inside a ROM-chip, which was write-protected by placing a jumper onto the mainboard, and then BIOS-ROM couldn't be altered
07:49 t0talist; this BIOS-ROM then could load and execute any loader/kernel from a floppy-disk, which too could be write-protected by the mechanical switch
07:50 t0talist; who knows, many KiB of memory such BIOS/loaders required, to implement "secure boot", a few dozen KiB, written in assembly
07:51 t0talist; finally, neither legacy BIOS nor modern UEFI-BIOS can be inspected, to trust those
07:51 t0talist; of cause, reliable read-only memory protection doesn't exclude the option to implement any type of hash-verification or signature method
07:52 t0talist; and most modern UEFI systems miss the read-only protection, in control by the user
07:53 t0talist; i don't know, how mjg59_ could pose about security and trust, without it, read-only memory-protection
07:53 t0talist; it's a similar problem, with Intel's NX-bit feature, which offers read-only memory protection
07:54 t0talist; however, by default, operating systems do NOT verify nor enforce any policy, to deny rwx-memory allocations by default
07:55 t0talist; that's why, i forward-ported/maintained some linux-kernel extension, to enforce such read-only memory policy
07:56 mjg59_; t0talist: Uh-huh. And what did the code on that floppy boot?
07:56 t0talist; same with file-system access, ideally, rootfs which contains executables remain read-only and no writeable space on any block-device remaining which permits executables
07:57 t0talist; mjg59_: depends, whatever a user wishes, the important aspect was, floppy-disk could be switched to read-only
07:57 mjg59_; Yeah, you can avoid a bunch of complexity by making various things immutable
07:57 mjg59_; But that makes updating anything much more complicated
07:57 t0talist; at the time when floppies were common, MBR-virus was a plague... for example
07:58 mjg59_; How do you modify the kernel command line?
07:58 mjg59_; How do you update the kernel on a server?
07:58 t0talist; well, the read-write switch on floppy-disks was easy to use, and BIOS-ROM wasn't flashed that often, to place some jumper onto the mainboard
07:58 mjg59_; Oh no I need to schedule a visit to the data centre to swap out this floppy
07:59 t0talist; mjg59_: yes, an alteration to the workflow and administration can greatly benefit "security"
07:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
07:59 t0talist; i do keep rootfs/kernel on read-only (depends, amd64 and aarch64 boot differently)
08:00 t0talist; to keep it simply, i boot from read-only ISO _only_; and whenever an update is required, a fresh ISO is assembled
08:00 t0talist; *simple
08:00 t0talist; and data-centers use out-of-band management infrastructure nowadays, with KVM, PXE-boot etc..
08:01 mjg59_; Yeah, so how do they control whether an image is write protected
08:02 t0talist; mjg59_: i don't trust your UEFI firmware
08:02 t0talist; even when it implements useful features such as signature verification
08:04 mjg59_; A reasonable position to hold

09:26 TheRealPhanes; good gawd did they add fapolicyd shit to the stig
09:28 TheRealPhanes; someone at RH should write a dummy kernel module called BlockDeviceSecurity and then get it included in various security standards so we can all watch weird arguments for why it has to be there and how we're all stupid if we don't turn it on
09:29 TheRealPhanes; and just have it do nothing
09:30 mjg59_; I have literally no idea what you're saying here
09:30 TheRealPhanes; so?
09:30 mjg59_; So you're probably misinterpreting something
09:31 TheRealPhanes; nah you're just a koolaid drinking twat hiding behind a veil of feigned superiority that gets shattered every time i pay attention to you
09:32 TheRealPhanes; i meet you in various incarnations like every 3 weeks at different companies
09:33 mjg59_; Unlikely, the number of companies who have someone with my skillset is basically countable on one hand
09:33 TheRealPhanes; nah
09:33 TheRealPhanes; dime a dozen bud
09:33 mjg59_; And I know at least two of them won't touch you
09:33 TheRealPhanes; oh? who dat
09:33 mjg59_; You'll probably be able to infer it over time
09:33 TheRealPhanes; sounds like somebody is posturing again
09:34 mjg59_; fapolicyd is an entirely reasonable security control
09:34 TheRealPhanes; fapolicyd is not a security control
09:34 TheRealPhanes; so
09:34 TheRealPhanes; no
09:34 TheRealPhanes; it isn't
09:34 mjg59_; It literally is
09:34 TheRealPhanes; it literally isn't
09:34 TheRealPhanes; it can /implement/ security standards controls
09:34 mjg59_; Control over which binaries are executed is trivially a security control
09:35 TheRealPhanes; no you just don't know what a control is
09:35 mjg59_; Ok so define it for me
09:35 TheRealPhanes; might want to check with those two companies i also outrank you at in this area and get validation
09:36 TheRealPhanes; oh sorry, i had a typo. let me retype that correctly
09:36 TheRealPhanes; might want to check with those "two companies" i also outrank you at in this area and get validation
09:38 mjg59_; Uh-huh. Define a security control.
09:38 TheRealPhanes; that's the difference between politicisng your contributions into inclusion and actual systems design
09:38 TheRealPhanes; think of a control as a "requirement" in that context
09:39 TheRealPhanes; it'll be part of a standard (usually separately in different standards or even not formal sources)
09:39 mjg59_; "I wish to only allow execution of binaries I approve of" is a security control
09:39 TheRealPhanes; and then orgs will create internal controls
09:39 TheRealPhanes; those get indexed

09:39 TR Bot; IRC Proceedings: Saturday, April 15, 2023 | Techrights
09:39 TheRealPhanes; and then various systems implement those controls
09:40 TheRealPhanes; a control is not typically software specific, it'll describe generalities of things
09:40 mjg59_; That is literally not what people in the industry mean
09:40 TheRealPhanes; so when you're using the word "control" to mean the implementation of a control that's not a control
09:40 TheRealPhanes; that is literally what the people in your own industry mean and use it to mean in all cases
09:40 mjg59_; Hey, if you want to redefine things so that you're right, you can
09:41 mjg59_; But you just come across as someone who doesn't engage with the people who actually do work there
09:41 TheRealPhanes; every time you and i talk tech you reveal yourself to be an insecure and exceedingly arrogant twat poseur, so, you should stop doing that since this is a publicly archived channel
09:41 TheRealPhanes; your buddy network is literally the only thing sustaining you
09:41 mjg59_; I feel fine with everything I've written here
09:41 TheRealPhanes; well, you shouldn't since you don't know what a damned contorl is
09:41 TheRealPhanes; *control
09:41 mjg59_; Eh my current job involved nobody I knew
09:42 TheRealPhanes; sure it did
09:42 mjg59_; Genuinely no!
09:42 mjg59_; Literally zero people I'd ever spoken to
09:42 TheRealPhanes; you're coasting off the "kernel developer" bit to get the interview and you're using a phd in an unrelated field to get through the HR check
09:42 t0talist; chown root:root <binary> ; chmod go-X
09:42 TheRealPhanes; because even entry level infosec engineers know what a control is and how organizations use them
09:43 mjg59_; They called me?
09:43 mjg59_; I do have the receipts for that btw
09:43 TheRealPhanes; in any case, a control is an indexed "requirement" or sorts for any piece of software of system to implement for the environment
09:44 TheRealPhanes; *software or system
09:44 TheRealPhanes; so when you say fapolicy is a "control" you have no clue what you're actually saying because that word doesn't mean that
09:44 mjg59_; Yeah if you work with people who are more concerned with meeting specifications than actually improving security
09:44 TheRealPhanes; it doesn't mean anything /like it/
09:45 mjg59_; The good news is that I get to actually improve security rather than engaging in checkboxing
09:45 TheRealPhanes; dude most high security environments are /required to/ meet specifications before they start their internal hardening design
09:45 mjg59_; Sorry you're spending your life just obsessing over whether you've done what someone else wrote
09:45 TheRealPhanes; you would know that if you had ever been in a high security environment
09:45 TheRealPhanes; doing security things anyway
09:46 TheRealPhanes; now maybe you've lucked out and gotten some "political inclusion" gigs but these are staples of the industry
09:46 TheRealPhanes; those checkboxes are the first thing that need met before you create internal controls that go beyond them
09:46 mjg59_; A whole bunch of those checkboxes are fucking useless
09:46 TheRealPhanes; most high security environments are regularly audited by multiple agencies to ensure they're met.
09:46 TheRealPhanes; so
09:46 mjg59_; Applying these things to environments without understanding the context they're being applied to is pointless
09:47 mjg59_; So yeah you can do it because someone is telling you to do it
09:47 mjg59_; That doesn't mean it makes sense
09:47 mjg59_; That doesn't mean it's worthwhile
09:47 TheRealPhanes; you talk security all you want, but, you clearly don't know how information security at an org is implemented, and you clearly have never been responsible for your work during an audit.
09:47 mjg59_; Sure, if you're in that environment, do it
09:47 mjg59_; But don't pretend that it actually matters
09:47 TheRealPhanes; it matters if you fail an audit

09:48 mjg59_; That doesn't mean it's actually useful for security
09:48 TheRealPhanes; who said improving security isn't also part of the job? that was just the dumber, fictitious argument you created on my behalf to cover up that you got called out for not knowing what a control is, after exploring the concept to some depth to demonstrate that it wasn't a slip of the tongue, on a public channel
09:49 TheRealPhanes; every single time, bud
09:49 TheRealPhanes; so
09:49 mjg59_; Man because the people who are actually improving security don't use the same terminology as the box tickers
09:49 mjg59_; Sorry you're a box ticker
09:49 TheRealPhanes; ticking the box is day one.

09:53 TheRealPhanes; that's a thing and not everyone can
09:53 mjg59_; So I existed in a corporate environment
09:54 TheRealPhanes; and you don't know what a security or functional control is
09:54 TheRealPhanes; these aren't newly introduced staples, by the way
09:55 mjg59_; I will accept that there may be a terminological difference between people whose job it is to tick boxes and people whose job it is to actually make shit scure

09:56 TheRealPhanes; not even close man. anyone who is paid to design information systems in a serious capacity has to design controls for what they are building and its been that way for a long, long time. like....decades
09:56 TheRealPhanes; controls aren't just external standards either
09:56 TheRealPhanes; how is this new information to you
09:56 TheRealPhanes; is this some bizarre form of gaslighting i don't understand yet
09:57 TheRealPhanes; *parts of external standards
09:57 TheRealPhanes; it also sounds like you haven't written any standards or policies
09:57 TheRealPhanes; so
09:57 TheRealPhanes; you wouldn't be doing high level security either (the guys who don't check boxes)
09:57 mjg59_; I really don't know what to tell you, the people who actually develop shit are happy to describe tooling that allows the implementation of security policy as a security control
09:57 TheRealPhanes; lol
09:58 TheRealPhanes; dude you're still using it wrong
09:58 TheRealPhanes; this is probably the first time you've had a conversation with someone willing to call it out
09:58 mjg59_; Oh, I've actually contributed to multiple standards
09:58 mjg59_; I just hate working with standards bodies
09:59 TheRealPhanes; standards -> controls -> organizational policy -> internal controls -> workforce
09:59 mjg59_; Ah yeah see the problem is that you're IT
09:59 TheRealPhanes; i can see why, you don't know fuckall about how they fit into the picture
09:59 mjg59_; This is something I actually try to train out of my students
09:59 TheRealPhanes; s/workforce/product/
10:00 mjg59_; Don't view externally developed standards as things that you can mechnically apply to your organisation
10:00 t0talist; fully featured RBAC is _extremely_ expensive, that's why i prefer *nix DAC _only_
10:00 TheRealPhanes; i did not say anything like that at all
10:00 TheRealPhanes; that was another fabricated argument when you couldn't hang with the content
10:00 mjg59_; Nah, but it's what you'd do
10:00 TheRealPhanes; no it's not
10:00 mjg59_; Oh, so you think there's flexibility there?
10:01 t0talist; and fapolicyd is neither fully featured RBAC nor POSIX, it's expensive however
10:01 t0talist; it requires special kernel hooks of linux-4.x series or later
10:01 TheRealPhanes; if i am in an environment or designing a product that has to work in an environment that is federally mandated to be compliant with a standard, then that standard's controls have to be met or it will not pass an audit, will get my client sued, and will get their client shut down
10:02 t0talist; and what is the benefit of an administrator utilizing chown/chmod appropriately, in comparison to fapolicyd?
10:02 TheRealPhanes; that doesn't mean those are the only security controls considered

10:11 mjg59_; It's ok, I get that you're a Blackhat guy, not a Defcon guy
10:12 TheRealPhanes; a "security policy" is "staff can't copy their work to external media from company systems". a control is "ID: all systems will have usb disabled" as part of a larger document of like things. a system or service will implement that control.
10:12 mjg59_; Yup, enjoy your IT
10:13 TheRealPhanes; so from this conversation we can definitely know that you've not designed security policy. you've not designed standards. you've not done requirements analysis or reqs mgmt during design of a system. so. that's interesting, you couldn't have been doing architecture at any level, even junior work.
10:13 mjg59_; Or your assumptions could be incorrect
10:13 TheRealPhanes; it's not an IT thing it's a professional software development concept and general information security concept
10:13 mjg59_; Enjoy your compliance paperwork
10:13 TheRealPhanes; these are not sr. concepts
10:14 TheRealPhanes; if you can't do paperwork you're not designing anything
10:14 mjg59_; Oh, I do the paperwork
10:14 TheRealPhanes; no, we've established that you don't
10:14 mjg59_; But I spend most of my time actually writing the shit
10:14 TheRealPhanes; you're like a...what's the word
10:14 mjg59_; Genius?

10:17 TheRealPhanes; oh i guess that depends on your definition of better
10:18 TheRealPhanes; i love the work because im good at it and it pays well
10:18 mjg59_; I don't think you need to be jealous of me but if you want to be who am I to complain
10:18 TheRealPhanes; but im also getting old and would like to stay in it when i retire

10:21 TheRealPhanes; hey those who can, do
10:21 TheRealPhanes; those who can't, teach
10:21 mjg59_; Why not both?
10:21 TheRealPhanes; because as we've demonstrated you don't have the experience or education
10:21 mjg59_; Would your impression of me improve if I stopped teaching?
10:22 TheRealPhanes; like, you think meeting federally mandated security controls stops you from bringing in your own and don't understand basic architectural lifecycles
10:22 TheRealPhanes; no
10:22 TheRealPhanes; it wouldn't
10:22 TheRealPhanes; but
10:22 TheRealPhanes; you would be giving those kids a better chance
10:22 mjg59_; Cool, I'll keep doing it then
10:22 mjg59_; I generally rate significantly above average in the student feedback
10:22 TheRealPhanes; im sure you do
10:23 TheRealPhanes; "how to bullshit your way through a security-focused career" isn't something more people need to know how to do
10:24 mjg59_; Oh, you're confused. I teach them how operating systems work, and where you can implement security controls.
10:24 techuser; But what do they need to do? Say, yet another group of people got a university degree and now they want to find a job. Their knowledge may vary.
10:25 techuser; Some don't know what they studied at all, but got a diploma anyway.
10:25 TheRealPhanes; considering i just had to tell you what the word means and how its actually used in product design and information security at orgs, i seriously doubt that latter part, but i'd believe you teach them some basic shit about the boot process and what the foundational concepts of how a kernel works are
10:25 mjg59_; Awh you're too kind
10:25 mjg59_; Let's make out
10:26 TheRealPhanes; im like 99% sure his class grades are a product of his feelings at the time of grading and how much that student prostrated to his narcissism
10:27 TheRealPhanes; sure as hell isn't factoring in whether they're ready for a corporate landscape
10:27 TheRealPhanes; he wouldn't know
10:27 mjg59_; How long have you spent as an FTE at a large corporate entity?
10:27 TheRealPhanes; how long have you confused the topic of this conversation to be me and not you
10:28 TheRealPhanes; you shouldn't compare yourself to me
10:28 TheRealPhanes; what works for me doesn't work for you
10:28 TheRealPhanes; and certainly vice versa
10:29 mjg59_; All I'm saying is that evidence suggests I have more experience employed in a corporate landscape than you do

16:33 schestowitz[TR2]; like it's some ancient thing!

16:34 schestowitz[TR2]; "Webapps"?
16:34 schestowitz[TR2]; "HEY HI"?
16:34 psydruid; deprecating 32-bit is more understandable considering the limitations of the architectures and the effort to keep them building
16:35 schestowitz[TR2]; 3.6gb of ram is a lot
16:35 psydruid; but that's also a consequence of a lack of good software engineering

16:35 schestowitz[TR2]; what other limitations other than addressing?
16:35 schestowitz[TR2]; 2^32
16:35 psydruid; x86 has few registers
16:36 psydruid; so you need to do more spills to/from memory
16:36 schestowitz[TR2]; what task would it fail at?
16:36 schestowitz[TR2]; you could write better code
16:36 schestowitz[TR2]; or compile ti better
16:36 psydruid; or you could just write code for RISC CPUs without such limitations such as ARM or RISC-V
16:37 schestowitz[TR2]; you could parallelise across old CPUs
16:37 schestowitz[TR2]; if they are "legacy"

17:16 techuser; I think the problem is not plagiarism but the reason such students are in university. Some want to get a degree because others have it, also students are exempt from conscription while they study.
17:17 schestowitz[TR2]; after blowing hot air for 3+ months while LAYING OFF tens of thousands of their staff they see the numbers of suers declining

21:49 DaemonFC; Marcus by Goldman Sachs has a 10 month promo CD at 5.05%.
21:50 *AdmFubar (~AdmFubar@ngqaam7baxnug.irc) has joined #techrights
21:50 DaemonFC; I'm guessing the eye watering interest rate and short term on the CD means it's designed to get depositors who will use the bank anyway even with a worse deal later.
21:50 DaemonFC; Sort of like Savings Account bonuses.
21:50 DaemonFC; I do kind of want to check out the My GM Credit Card though.
21:51 DaemonFC; Earning 7x points on your GM dealership spend isn't terrible.
21:51 DaemonFC; You could just set that back and use it to pay for servicing and repairs and get 7% on that.
21:52 DaemonFC; Their dealership network is leaning less on selling new cars and more on servicing ones that are already out there.
21:52 DaemonFC; New Chevy inventory is sitting at roughly 15% of the lot's capacity.
21:52 DaemonFC; They *can* order more from the factory, but the days of just ordering a shitload of new vehicles is over and now they have a lot of empty lot space.
21:54 DaemonFC; It's not actually as attractive as it looks. If you throw $6,000 in there, you earn about $20 more in interest vs. my No Penalty 11 month CD considering the first 10 months of the account ownership in the 11 month situation.
21:55 DaemonFC; But then you have a new account at Marcus that you may not want to use again, you owe the IRS and state like 14.95% of the additional interest, and even though 10 months is a short time, you'd have to give back 90 days simple interest if you wanted the money.

22:36 TR Bot; Walmart Pulls Out of Chicago and Exposes CNN Dumpster Fire | BaronHK's Rants
22:36 DaemonFC; "Walmart isnt the March of Dimes and theyre not going to sit back and run stores in failed cities like Portland and San Francisco and LA and Chicago where there is no longer any law enforcement. Fuck off.
22:36 DaemonFC; You voted for it, you get to keep it. Enjoy your food desert as everyone pretends they dont know why."
22:39 DaemonFC; Now, I do realize that not everyone voted for crime-loving, criminal-coddling politicians, but the overwhelming majority in those Wards did, and thats why stores are shutting down now. Its like the scene in Full Metal Jacket where Gomer Pyle has to stand in his underwear eating a purloined jelly donut while watching his entire platoon getting punished.
22:39 DaemonFC; Only in this case, you get to have a food desert because your neighbors voted for shitty aldermen, Lori Lightfoot, and Kim Foxx.
22:40 DaemonFC; "Walmart waited until about 5 seconds after Paul Vallas lost the Mayoral election to a Communist (Brandon Johnson) to announce they were leaving. Don't think I didn't notice this."
22:41 DaemonFC; "It was the final nail. Walmart threw $100 million into a pit called Chicago, lit it all on fire, and then the election of Brandon Johnson was the straw that broke the camel's back."
22:42 DaemonFC; mjg59_, ^
22:42 DaemonFC; There you go, friend.
22:43 DaemonFC; "It was a "strategic" retreat. For now, they've left the stores on the north side, where there is "less" crime, open, but 1,200 more jobs could be ruined by criminals that the Democrat Party has no plans to punish."
22:45 DaemonFC; "It's difficult to operate a business focused on bringing good jobs and low prices to a place like Chicago, because, by and large, it's not wholesome people who live there. It's a crime plagued major city where if the looters and arsonists don't get you, the tax code will."
22:48 DaemonFC; "I don't know what to call a company that starts out at $18 an hour, offers better health insurance than my mother gets with over 40 years of experience as a nurse, and offers excellent vision and dental care, and a 6% match on your 401(k). All to a person who did nothing except graduate high school, or get a GED."
22:48 DaemonFC; "Employment prospects like this simply do not grow on trees in bad neighborhoods, and empty buildings with boarded windows, with litter blowing by, which is what Democrats in big cities leave in their wake, provide no jobs at all."
