| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: An actual exterminator. | Aug 18 06:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Not a huge franchise either, a local one that seems to be highly rated. | Aug 18 06:43 |
| IsambardPrince | I would have been happy had Piyush even been trying to do anything about it, I mean for real. | Aug 18 06:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Who goes in there and sprays RAID all over the floor? I mean honestly, even if you don't care what it does to your tenants, he's gotta be breathing it. | Aug 18 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | It's made to be used to spray some roaches you see and then take your finger off the trigger. | Aug 18 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | The correct way to deal with an infestation that's so out of control there's thousands of them in plain sight is to start out by going in there with a HEPA vacuum backpack and wearing goggles and a respirator and just vacuum up the roaches. | Aug 18 06:45 |
| IsambardPrince | You have to deal with the ones that can be seen out in the open a few times before you can begin to address the structural problem. | Aug 18 06:46 |
| IsambardPrince | I've seen professional exterminators on YouTube showing severe infestations, and they go in and vacuum all the ones they can see with a special HEPA vacuum before they even really begin. | Aug 18 06:46 |
| IsambardPrince | They spray sometimes but it's not RAID. | Aug 18 06:46 |
| IsambardPrince | I think they were calling it Eugenal oil or something. | Aug 18 06:47 |
| IsambardPrince | YouTube's closed captioning may have gotten that wrong. | Aug 18 06:47 |
| IsambardPrince | When it comes to dealing with roaches, the sooner the better. | Aug 18 06:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Because the longer this goes, the worse it gets, the longer it takes to get under control again. | Aug 18 06:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Piyush's building is at the stage where they would have to just burn it down. | Aug 18 06:48 |

| IsambardPrince | I've been implementing Integrated Pest Management on my own. | Aug 18 06:55 |
| IsambardPrince | But I'll definitely take the help. | Aug 18 06:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Mainly what I would like him to do is spray Tekko IGR or Gentrol IGR . | Aug 18 06:55 |
| IsambardPrince | If he doesn't, I can buy it myself and do it. | Aug 18 06:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | right | Aug 18 06:56 |
| IsambardPrince | The sticky traps all over tell you if you're winning or losing. If counts are going up or staying the same, you're not doing well. | Aug 18 06:56 |

| IsambardPrince | I detailed to management that I immediately implemented Integrated Pest Management. | Aug 18 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | I headed off all the things I knew they would fire back with at the pass. | Aug 18 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Like, "How do you know there's roaches?" | Aug 18 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | "Cockroach activity has been detected by means of passive monitoring devices. See attached photos." | Aug 18 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | I even told them what species they were. | Aug 18 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | I've studied how to severely fuck up a roach colony. | Aug 18 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | When I was living at Piyush's apartment building, I had never seen a cockroach before. | Aug 18 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | I had no idea what products worked and what didn't. | Aug 18 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | So I started buying all of the things that said "Kills roaches." | Aug 18 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | It turns out probably half or more either don't have any effect at all, just cost money. | Aug 18 06:59 |

| IsambardPrince | A cockroach infestation is really more of a collective than it is anything else. | Aug 18 07:01 |
| IsambardPrince | They are social in the sense that they do things that network with other roaches and are for the good of the colony. | Aug 18 07:01 |
| IsambardPrince | But when they die, or take a shit, they're social in the sense that another one comes along and eats the shit or the dead roach. | Aug 18 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't waste anything, and they can survive on almost nothing. | Aug 18 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Including hair and wallpaper glue. | Aug 18 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | So how do you start dismantling the colony? | Aug 18 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Their behavior is somewhat predictable. | Aug 18 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | They prefer to have pressure on multiple sides of their body while they walk. That leads them to follow baseboards. | Aug 18 07:03 |
| *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights | Aug 18 07:04 | |
| IsambardPrince | So you stick a bunch of sticky glue traps around the baseboards, under the fridge and oven, under the microwave, behind the microwave, and to each side of every level of the cabinets, and behind and on the baseboard on the sides of the bathroom toilet, sink, and along any main walls. | Aug 18 07:04 |
| IsambardPrince | A lot of the foragers will just walk right into these things and stick there and then you find them and crush the trap on them with your foot, and toss it in the trash. | Aug 18 07:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Deploy a new trap. | Aug 18 07:05 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | we never saw a cockroach here | Aug 18 07:05 |
| IsambardPrince | What you do here is you fuck up the colony by taking out its foragers. | Aug 18 07:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we saw a rat running outside the stadium some days ago | Aug 18 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | The foragers are adults that bring food back to the hive. | Aug 18 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Without the foragers, the hive doesn't eat. | Aug 18 07:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ok, let's talk tech | Aug 18 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | I also stuck Advion Arena bait stations and Combat Max and Terro Gel in strategic spots. | Aug 18 07:06 |
| bms | I was beginning to read the cockroach colony as an allusion to LLM scrapers. | Aug 18 07:07 |
| IsambardPrince | The foragers that miss the traps eat the poison and share. | Aug 18 07:07 |
| IsambardPrince | It has to be layered. | Aug 18 07:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | bms: he did that last year too | Aug 18 07:07 |

| IsambardPrince | [01:07] <bms> I was beginning to read the cockroach colony as an allusion to LLM scrapers. | Aug 18 07:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, the LLM scrapers are like the foragers that bring things back to the hive. | Aug 18 07:08 |
| IsambardPrince | And there are pages that deliberately feed them poison or a ZIP bomb or something. | Aug 18 07:08 |
| bms | normally those get poisoned with iocaine if the outer defences fail | Aug 18 07:08 |
| bms | I did my bit by committing a port of go-away (as used by SourceHut) to FreeBSD last week | Aug 18 07:08 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | gettiing money for an anti-fracking flick is not the same as competiting with gafam, by sucking up to gafam for sponsortships | Aug 18 07:20 |
| IsambardPrince | To call critics a group of bigots or something. | Aug 18 07:20 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | no a, typo | Aug 18 07:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody really knows how much time they have or how much time their partner does. | Aug 18 07:34 |
| IsambardPrince | She found herself a good man. | Aug 18 07:34 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Emaciated and having the hair falling out is a tell. | Aug 18 07:34 |
| IsambardPrince | When you see someone like this. | Aug 18 07:35 |
| bms | this all reminds me of an oft repeated quote from when Danny Baker was hosting BBC Radio 1 on Saturday mornings | Aug 18 07:36 |

| IsambardPrince | Dick Van Dyke is mentally ready for it. He's not deluding himself anymore. He isn't suicidal but he's said some darkly humorous things. | Aug 18 07:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Like when he was 99 he said "It would be sort of funny if I didn't make it to 100." | Aug 18 07:37 |
| IsambardPrince | The Catholic Church is suing Illinois to try to get the death with dignity law struck down. | Aug 18 07:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | kissinger made it to 100 | Aug 18 07:38 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | then he dropped dead | Aug 18 07:38 |
| IsambardPrince | I replied that when I had to have Leeloo put to sleep, she was at the end of the road. I would have done anything if it would have made her a healthy young cat again. | Aug 18 07:39 |
| IsambardPrince | I loved that cat. | Aug 18 07:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Doing that was a very hard decision to make, and I'd do it again if I had to. It might have seemed cold, or selfish. But it would have been cold and selfish to let her die on the floor at home soon. | Aug 18 07:39 |
| IsambardPrince | And that's basically what the Catholic church is suing about. | Aug 18 07:39 |

| IsambardPrince | They want to take that decision away from dying people who are in a lot of pain and are probably not even Catholic. | Aug 18 07:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no, it's not like that | Aug 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the concerns tends to be, | Aug 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it starts with x | Aug 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then it becomes y and z | Aug 18 07:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Being realistic about end of life options is a lot different than promoting suicide. | Aug 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like, consensual euthenasia | Aug 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to... | Aug 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | his kids said he was a vegetables | Aug 18 07:41 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | or... this men is ill | Aug 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *this man | Aug 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then "he is sad" | Aug 18 07:41 |
| IsambardPrince | When a young healthy man commits suicide because the world is fucked up and has failed him, it's a tragedy. | Aug 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then... "he is poor | Aug 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if you make death "widely available", you dread it would become popular | Aug 18 07:42 |
| IsambardPrince | But when a person who is dying anyway in a week or two wants to push a button and get morphine, that's different. | Aug 18 07:42 |
| IsambardPrince | [01:42] <schestowitz[TR2]> if you make death "widely available", you dread it would become popular | Aug 18 07:43 |
| IsambardPrince | In a way it already is. | Aug 18 07:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not quite | Aug 18 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Suicide is not really preventable, not with anything this country wants to do about it. | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i know people... | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they are depressed | Aug 18 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | The suicide rate in America goes up every year. | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and too dumb or afraid to end themselves | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but | Aug 18 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody in power gives a rat's ass. | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if you gave them magic pills | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they might take them | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to die | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | instead you have people poisonming themselbves | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | into the ER | Aug 18 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | So they do it anyway, in a very violent way that traumatizes a lot of people around them. | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and then get put on suicide watch | Aug 18 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Like walking in front of a train or shooting themselves. | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they're not even good at ending their lievs, Frank Sinatra tried many times | Aug 18 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | many clebs tried, they're noit smart, they are performers | Aug 18 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you say, "shooting themselves." | Aug 18 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you assume | Aug 18 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1. us | Aug 18 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2. has access to bullets (people who are unstable don't always) | Aug 18 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 3. they have the guts to do it | Aug 18 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | In Illinois, it has more gun control, so there's less gun suicide. | Aug 18 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | You go great. | Aug 18 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they walk in front of the train. | Aug 18 07:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | walking in front of trains is hard when there are fences and alaert drivers | Aug 18 07:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with cameras along the track | Aug 18 07:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so they get put on suicide watch instead | Aug 18 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | There's just as many suicides per capita in Illinois. | Aug 18 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Less of them involve a gun. | Aug 18 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | So the guy is still dead, but not with a gun. | Aug 18 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean I suppose you could make the case that's a good thing. | Aug 18 07:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in tall places like buildings and malls in euriopoe they put suicide nets and high railings | Aug 18 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | as they become suicide hotspots | Aug 18 07:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Some people who want to die get a gun, decide to shoot other people first. | Aug 18 07:47 |

| bms | schestowitz[TR2]: Intel's patch for kernel-side Memory Protection Keys (MPK), the PKS feature, did not get merged last I looked | Aug 18 21:14 |
| bms | schestowitz[TR2]: It would have protected FreeBSD from the BUMSRAKETE vulnerability had it been available, which was all about violating encapsulation once inside Ring 0 to subvert keying data for kernel-side TLS. | Aug 18 21:15 |
| bms | kTLS is a little embarassing for Netflix guys because they rely on it pretty hard | Aug 18 21:15 |
| bms | but it's FreeBSD's claim to have an edge vs Linux in hyperscaler space: kTLS can reliably transmit from sendfile() nonblocking without corrupting data when headers/trailers are added for serving video at line rate from Netflix caches. | Aug 18 21:16 |
| bms | MPK is no end of annoying; it's the closest a modern x86-64 arch can get to capability registers like ARM Morello has via CHERI. I have a login on such a system user only but haven't test fired any code there yet | Aug 18 21:17 |
| bms | I am moving to planet Capabilities. To deal with "agentic AI" driven attacks. https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~levy/capabook/ | Aug 18 21:17 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-homes.cs.washington.edu | Capability-Based Computer Systems | Aug 18 21:17 | |
| bms | Linux "capabilities" are just building blocks based on the dead POSIX 1e spec | Aug 18 21:18 |
| bms | LWN sucks major ass, they wrote all about ARM and CHERI but totally ignored who and what was driving it with a working operating system on top. | Aug 18 21:18 |
| bms | there is a danger capabilities can be perverted, sure, due to the default-deny which is implied, to guard against the Confused Deputy problem as depicted by Lampson's Access Control Matrix: ambient authority, where you can do anything to e.g. a file when you know its name | Aug 18 21:20 |
| bms | but default deny by its very nature stops a lot of "agentic" crap dead in its tracks. you need a capability grant to proceed in a capabilities based system. | Aug 18 21:21 |
| bms | it is real "do your homework and take your vitamins" stuff to be honest, but, the very companies which have funded R&D over the years have neglected to actually do it properly | Aug 18 21:21 |
| bms | Capsicum for FreeBSD was ported to Linux by Googlers, and they have just dropped all support for it | Aug 18 21:22 |
| bms | The Capsicumization of FreeBSD itself is ongoing, and it's a superset of the OpenBSD pledge/unveil model, it is simpler than seccomp-bpf, yet it might be richer in terms of feature set; this I have to research further so I can't make any claims here. | Aug 18 21:23 |

| bms | schestowitz[TR2]: There's no apparent deletion link for LWN accounts. You can unsubscribe but not delete your identity. Thats' all kinds of GDPR violation right there. So I changed my "real name" to Alan Smithee and left a message in the personal profile info about rampant intellectual dishonesty, changed my password to a random string and lost it deliberately | Aug 18 21:43 |
| bms | schestowitz[TR2]: I can't stop using GMail until the students' final evaluations are done and we're clear, then my GDPR fun with GAFAM begins | Aug 18 21:44 |
| bms | schestowitz[TR2]: of course I migrated all company and personal email off over a month ago since, I use SeaMonkey for email now, Thunderbird is just for GMail, and my FreeBSD mail is directed there for now. DNS zones are on Cloudflare but the email accounts use independent providers. | Aug 18 21:45 |
| bms | schestowitz[TR2]: Using GMail is a condition of GSoC participation. They asked "Are you using Hey Hi? If not why not?" in the students' midterms evaluations. | Aug 18 21:45 |
| bms | I honestly fear for the future of science more generally. I don't buy into this crap yet Communications of the ACM is always full of it. The dreaded h-Index. I am sitting on publishable work potentially, and if I ever want to score tenure or even just associate professorship somewhere, I need wins there, and the LLM crawlers would steal that away as soon as anything hits the | Aug 18 21:47 |
| bms | feeds. UNLESS... countermeasures. | Aug 18 21:47 |
| bms | academia is not the doss or soft option it was ever perceived to be; in some ways it's even worse than the alternatives. | Aug 18 21:47 |
