They took off from a vertical angle. So at first it would have given them speed and lift.

IsambardPrince

But not enough to clear the ravine.

IsambardPrince

But then it would have given them speed with no lift.

IsambardPrince

Which means they would miss the jump and slam in the cliff wall at over 100 miles an hour instead of just falling to the bottom of the ravine.

MinceR, Next week I'm making Ram-Don from the movie Parasite.

Oct 21 00:18

IsambardPrince

I have the noodles and the seasoning, now I just need to pick up some steak at Sam's Club.

"Linux has become too big" : whatever happened to compiling your own kernel? I used to do it 20 years ago. Did that become infeasible? Surely there are many versions of 'the kernel' around with more or less capabilities? Isn't there a lite Linux kernel that has most of the cruft and bloat removed?

Oct 21 00:20

MinceR

last time i tried, just wading through menuconfig is a multi-day affair

Oct 21 00:26

MinceR

s/is/was/

Oct 21 00:26

MinceR

linux was turned into a bloat planet

Oct 21 00:26

cybershow

It certainly has MinceR :) But it's not beyond the realms of feasinility for someone to write a script or - god forbid a 'prompt' - to do all the heavy lifing and offer a range of much lighter kernels or ones that cut out more controversial or unwanted functions. Isn't that the whole point of open source and modular deign? But I'm puzzled that I don't see anyone doing that.

Oct 21 00:29

cybershow

or even talking about it

Oct 21 00:30

MinceR

the one related project i'm aware of is linux-libre, which removes blobs

Oct 21 00:30

cybershow

aha yes

Oct 21 00:30

cybershow

but y'know what I@m saying.... there's a kind of helpless take it or leave it (in entirety) mentality going around.

Oct 21 00:31

cybershow

I'm surprised not to see copious Linux forks and variations

Oct 21 00:32

MinceR

linux is enormous and vulns are found all the time, making it a very costly proposition to fork and maintain

Oct 21 00:32

cybershow

all part of the paradox of "big claims, few results" around "AI"

Oct 21 00:33

cybershow

but again, machines could do the heavy lifting, if all is to be believed

Oct 21 00:33

cybershow

and if it's simply too big for that o happen, its failed

cybershow

Linus has failed as a software developer

cybershow

to "maintain" a state of affordable and manageable complexity

IsambardPrince

I don't think it's within the scope of Linux-Libre to remove Rust, bad code, and AI slop.

MinceR

indeed

IsambardPrince

Just anything where the license header is "nonfree".

cybershow

perhaps it should (or could ) be

cybershow

if there's a genuine demand for that

IsambardPrince

Well the problem at this point is that the decay has become so pervasive that entire hardware drivers depend on AI slop, bad code, non-free firmware, and Rust.

IsambardPrince

Any or all of that.

IsambardPrince

Especially if you're trying to run a Linux distribution on a Mac.

cybershow

surely there are hundreds of companies building custom kernels

cybershow

for embeded applications and so on

IsambardPrince

There's probably someone out there that is still using a Linux 2.6 kernel in production if they can get away with it.

cybershow

are none of them contributing anything back to sensible development path?

Oct 21 00:37

cybershow

When do you think it went bad? (out of control)

Oct 21 00:37

cybershow

For example, a sensible subset might be just removing anything that panders to very restrictive non-free hardware and Microsoft specific functions - just an example of where to trim

Oct 21 00:40

cybershow

Otherwise Linux is dying by agreeable acquiesence to non-aligned interests

Oct 21 00:41

MinceR

i think it went bad when microslop took over, using greg kroah-hartman as figurehead and CoC as tool/excuse

Oct 21 00:41

cybershow

in plainer languge of Morrisey ; why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I live or die? Fuck those people

Oct 21 00:42

MinceR

though by then they've already thoroughly fucked the userland

Oct 21 00:42

cybershow

wouldn't an "AI" prompt strip out everything that this kroah-hartman ever contributed?

*darwin has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

cybershow

What I'm saying is there's a strong case to rescu Linux kernel (from what I'm hearing) and I;m confused why nobody is talking about practical options

MinceR

it isn't limited to his "contributions", it has to do with him taking the figurehead role for a while, and being second-in-command before and after

cybershow

defective and treacherous leadership is the problem?

Oct 21 00:44

MinceR

that, and corporate control

cybershow

what pressure can be brought to force out moles?

cybershow

how do corporations exert control?

cybershow

is it money?

MinceR

at this point it's futile

MinceR

the masses have built into the "microslop <3 linux" bullshit and the SJW bullshit, along with the CoC bullshit

cybershow

whenever someone says that I hear "its an important tactical challenge" :)

MinceR

s/built/bought/

cybershow

sounds defeatist. sounds like they need someone or something to scare them

MinceR

the whole purpose of the "Linux Foundation" was to corrupt torvalds and the other important Linux developers with tons of money from microslop

*reap has quit (Quit: Going offline, see ya! (www.adiirc.com))

MinceR

no, what this planet needs is a meteoroid

cybershow

so how does one destroy the "Linux FOundation"?

MinceR

humans are a failure, it's time to hand the field over to something else

cybershow

I'm a human, dude! :)

MinceR

humans have failed in pretty much every conceivable way

MinceR

sadly, i'm also stuck in a human body

MinceR

but there's nothing i can do

MinceR

i'm not rich, i don't have ASPD or NPD

MinceR

all i can do is see a bunch of nutcases ruin everything with the support of the evil masses (who have authoritarian personality type)

Oct 21 00:48

cybershow

Well. i'm not personally asking you to do loads of stuff mate :)

Oct 21 00:48

cybershow

Great things happen by inspiring others. Especially young people.

Oct 21 00:48

cybershow

They usually just need the problems explaining to them

MinceR

but as far as linux goes, allegedly one laptop with an RTX 5090 could provide sufficient power to adapt/develop security fixes in a Linux hard fork as the vulnerabilities are found upstream

MinceR

well, most are "inspired" to maintain a failed society and make it even more off a hell

cybershow

Like why the "Linuc FOundation" is full of failed traitors and a roadmap forward to take back Linux

MinceR

the free software community is practically gone, the majority of the ones who existed see nothing wrong with corporate control

MinceR

so the question is, if the community is gone, who is going to maintain a Linux fork?

cybershow

Aha ... as you say... "allegedly one laptop with an RTX 5090 could" The absence of action is evidence of something important here

MinceR

not to mention everything else

MinceR

well, to many people the slop route would be unacceptable

cybershow

"free software community is practically gone" : O don't belive that

MinceR

and the alternative to that is to have willing humans do it, but they don't seem to exist

cybershow

sorry I don't

cybershow

Otherwise why are we here on a channel called techrights :)

MinceR

there's 63 of us, with many duplicates and some bots

Oct 21 00:52

cybershow

that's a great start

Oct 21 00:52

cybershow

Last week I met a guy who claims he vibe coded an operating system

Oct 21 00:52

cybershow

If 1/1000 of what he said is true, we're in a different game now

Oct 21 00:53

cybershow

because this dude is a chef, and his mate is a plumber

Oct 21 00:53

cybershow

if kids are doing that, with no CS skills, we are wasting our time moaning about Linus and whatever

Oct 21 00:53

MinceR

maybe

cybershow

even a little teeny maybe is a huge amount of hope

cybershow

think about it

cybershow

I'd love you to tell me what you think of the episode when I mix it

*includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in)

cybershow

there is new energy out there

cybershow

and most of it is under 20

cybershow

Gen z and now even some advanced Aplhagen (12 years +)

*includeals (~includeal@2001:8a0:e97c:e700::1c47) has joined #techrights

cybershow

Linus can go and guck jimself

Oct 21 00:56

cybershow

Let the new kids take the wheel

Oct 21 00:56

MinceR

meanwhile the suits are shitting into the hardware and also into the Internet

Oct 21 00:57

MinceR

so we'd need to rebuild those too

Oct 21 00:57

cybershow

Question: what is the minimal working kernel for a non-Broadcom SBC like Banana Pi?

Oct 21 00:57

MinceR

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

MinceR

i had little luck with SBCs

cybershow

woah one job at a time cowboy! :)

MinceR

yeah, and the ones we don't do fuck our lives up

cybershow

i do love SBCs, I did a lot of work using Pi zeros a few years ago

MinceR

if humans weren't so fucking useless, this would be a doable job

Oct 21 00:59

MinceR

yeah, i loved SBCs too, until i found out that RPis run ThreadX on the GPU, their default OS has systemd and phones home to microslop every time you do apt update, and the other SBCs tend to have "support" to the extent of "here's an ubuntu image that booted once, now get lost"

cybershow

we aren't useless, were oppressed, depressed, learned helplessness - all of that is transcendable

MinceR

most humans assist our oppressors in oppressing us

MinceR

but yeah, a meteoroid or a GRB would help us transcend it

cybershow

I checked that claim by sniffing the wire below packe level using a logic analyser in place of wireshark... nos such traffic

cybershow

we are often victims of a type of propaganda called "sapping" (trust me I studied this stiff formally)

Oct 21 01:01

cybershow

Its designed to breed hopelessness and defeatism

Oct 21 01:02

cybershow

but there's a counter-propaganda playbook too

Oct 21 01:02

MinceR

and now i'm reminded that the alleged "security" of most of our communications relies on something that's probably deliberately broken by design: PKI

MinceR

and there's no interest even in patching around it

MinceR

your bank could give you a card with the fingerprint of their CA certificate, but they don't

MinceR

but hey, at least their app makes sure to refuse to run on a device that is not locked into the manufacturer's blob

MinceR

21 020138 < cybershow> we are often victims of a type of propaganda called "sapping" (trust me I studied this stiff formally)

MinceR

well, it's working very well

cybershow

How would you counter it?

MinceR

i suppose most of the population supporting the oppression makes it easy

MinceR

i don't know, maybe developing a WMD that rids the planet of humans

cybershow

I have no evidence that "most of the population support" it

MinceR

well, for starters, afaict about half of the population supports putin

MinceR

and there are authoritarians of different stripes too

cybershow

perhaps most of the population are merely ignorant, which is an understandable and fixanle situation

MinceR

also, all states are more authoritarian than they need to be, and the people support them

cybershow

I have never met one person who supports putin

MinceR

i think most of the population has authoritarian personality type

MinceR

where do you live?

cybershow

not even Ruskies I know :)

cybershow

in the UK, in England

MinceR

well, nigel farage admires putin and has many supporters

Oct 21 01:07

cybershow

plenty of Russians, really nice people, smart people, laugh at putin

Oct 21 01:07

cybershow

I don't know Nigel Farage. He's a dick in my opinion

Oct 21 01:07

cybershow

people believe all sorts of stuff. but never go out and talk to others

Oct 21 01:08

cybershow

go out and talk to loads of people, its not what you think

Oct 21 01:08

MinceR

"Reform UK is polling around 22%"

Oct 21 01:08

cybershow

probably

cybershow

mabe Reform have some great ideas

MinceR

yeah, like supporting the genocide putin is perpetrating

cybershow

maybe many of the people who like Reform are decent people

MinceR

given the increase in global population, more humans support nazism now than ever before, including around and during ww2

MinceR

i don't think being a decent person is compatible with supporting a ruscist party

Oct 21 01:10

MinceR

and it certainly doesn't give me any faith in the species

Oct 21 01:10

cybershow

did you ask any? ... what I;'m saying is you can't jump to dire conclusions about the humanity of others because of what you hear on propaganda channels. faith in each other is all we have

Oct 21 01:10

MinceR

i wouldn't rely overly much on shallow impressions of whether someone is nice or not

cybershow

Man I had an awkward dinner part once with a bunch of Trunp supporters from the black sheep side of the family

cybershow

dinner party from hell :)

MinceR

i can see how the masses vote, what the masses respond on opinion polls

MinceR

i can see how society works as a result

cybershow

but I still love those dudes

Oct 21 01:12

MinceR

i can see the (usually high) approval rates of autocrats in the countries they run

Oct 21 01:12

cybershow

I can't /see/ any of that. I hear it /reported/. By people I would not trust for a moment.

Oct 21 01:12

cybershow

When I meet real people and talk to them I find something totally different

MinceR

in the country where i live, it was way too difficult to vote the putinists out of power this year

*x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

cybershow

where do you live MinceR?

MinceR

even after 16 years of them robbing everyone blind and making the country the poorest country in the region

MinceR

hungary

cybershow

Ah I love that place

MinceR

and then we can look around, and what do we see? the nazis will probably win in france next year

cybershow

I went o Budapest in the 1980s

MinceR

and then in germany and austria

cybershow

before Glasnost

MinceR

also, the usa went nazi after seeing what orban did to the country and "thinking" that this sort of failure and poverty is exactly what they want for themselves

cybershow

still last winds of communism

MinceR

well, sadly, not the last winds of communism

MinceR

fidesz wanted to build a campus for fudan university in budapest

cybershow

swings and roundabouts. Authoritarianism is built on hate and insecurity.

MinceR

fudan requires their staff and students to be loyal to the communist party of china

MinceR

fidesz posed as an "anti-communist" party

MinceR

fidesz sold us out to muscovy and communist china

MinceR

there still are about 2 million communists in this country

cybershow

small people with small minds

MinceR

yeah, that's what most humans are like

cybershow

but I'm saying no. _most_ of them are not

MinceR

most of them are, though

cybershow

why do we focus on a few insecure *mostly men)

MinceR

even if only about half support putler and some others are merely communists/fascists

MinceR

i'm not focusing on a few people, i'm focusing about half plus another sizeable chunk

MinceR

i.e. the majority

cybershow

I guess we differ there. I don't want to lay it on you heavy.

MinceR

and then there are the others who aren't fascists, merely statists

Oct 21 01:18

MinceR

and still support a lot of the systematic oppression

Oct 21 01:18

cybershow

I mean, mu own experience as a humanist and christian of people as fundamentally good

Oct 21 01:18

cybershow

that's what I look for in a movement. in building a movement, hope and mutual belief in each other

Oct 21 01:19

cybershow

not in ideals or money

Oct 21 01:19

cybershow

things the propagandists use to amplify their message of hoplessness

*x-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@6mnab3uw5dgtk.irc) has joined #techrights

cybershow

sapping and discombobulation

IsambardPrince

MinceR, Apple says they'll assemble Mac Minis in the US. Tariffs probably. This announcement comes about a month after they raised the US price of a Mac Mini by roughly $200.

cybershow

fuck Apple

MinceR

cybershow

:) anyway about the kernel

MinceR

well, i've spent 16 years of my life oppressed by christians, being exposed to their hateful, arrogant propaganda despite my attempts to block it

MinceR

so i hate christians more than ever

MinceR

and that propaganda isn't even over

Oct 21 01:23

MinceR

if i could choose to leave earth and humans and live among intelligent and civilized aliens, i'd do so

Oct 21 01:23

cybershow

One Finnish dude copied the code outa the back of Tannenbaum (like we all did in operating systems class at uni)

Oct 21 01:24

cybershow

what makes you think there are "civilised aliens" MinceR?

Oct 21 01:24

MinceR

nothing

MinceR

note the "if"

*darwin (~darwin@ezriia7nzimpg.irc) has joined #techrights

cybershow

I see

cybershow

but other humans are all we have

cybershow

so we better find a way to love each other no?

MinceR

first i'd need a _reason_ to love the others

MinceR

also, one-sided "love" doesn't really work

cybershow

would you like to be loved?

MinceR

so if the others want to oppress me because i don't believe in their imaginary frenemy, that makes the whole thing futile

MinceR

and i don't see a lot of love going around in human society anyway

cybershow

wheres a good place to look for love?

MinceR

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

MinceR

cats, i guess

cybershow

LOL

cybershow

dogs

cybershow

cats have thir own plan

cybershow

but teah

MinceR

plans are orthogonal to love

cybershow

yeah

cybershow

I've been where you are with "others"

cybershow

quite genocidal in fact

cybershow

it passes

MinceR

yeah, we don't live forever

MinceR

and the way we're doing things, our species isn't going to stick around for long, either

MinceR

this shit is very far from sustainable

Oct 21 01:30

cybershow

and with that little time we have, well its a motive to try and do something to help fix it

Oct 21 01:30

MinceR

would be nice

Oct 21 01:30

cybershow

yeah

cybershow

I forgot how IRC is a funny old way to talk

MinceR

but one of our self-created existential threats is that we're boiling the planet and ourselves

MinceR

and that about half of humanity i've mentioned early, they don't even believe the problem exists

cybershow

mostly I write alone and after reading books

MinceR

they probably don't even believe it is possible for such a problem to exist

MinceR

so, good luck fixing that one

cybershow

my father in law is a prominent climate scientist

cybershow

he did the numers on pollution for Kyoto

cybershow

numbers

MinceR

then there are the impulses to wipe out about half of humanity and repeat until the population is no longer sustainable, along lines of skin color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, various divisions inside religion...

cybershow

fear of others

cybershow

of being overwhelmed

cybershow

Read DeMaus

MinceR

hatred of people who are different in some way

cybershow

and of disease

cybershow

Peterspn had a good accessible take on that - the psycjology of disgust

cybershow

peterson

cybershow

and its relation to racism

cybershow

quite an easy switch for the propagandists to operate

cybershow

but we all have to live under these marks

MinceR

no, we can also go extinct

cybershow

I would rather we did not

cybershow

of course

MinceR

and once we go beyond all the ways in which we're trying to exterminate ourselves, nature also presents plenty of challenges

MinceR

like our Sun becoming a red giant

MinceR

to protect ourselves, we need science and technology

cybershow

that's something to worry about another day

MinceR

but afaict the majority of humanity has already decided that they don't want either anymore

MinceR

we live in the new dark ages

MinceR

we don't necessarily have another day

cybershow

and yet we are able to talk by the miracle of TCP/IP :_

cybershow

you and me

cybershow

whoever you are

MinceR

we probably need better technology to detect and redirect/eliminate incoming meteoroids

MinceR

and yet we're doing worse than nothing

MinceR

most of us are busy sabotaging our existing technology base

cybershow

you have a guardians mind

cybershow

you say "most of us" a lot

Oct 21 01:39

cybershow

guardians are the salt of the earth, because you care

MinceR

it isn't doing me much good

cybershow

I ca tell

cybershow

cybershow

caring too much hurts us

Oct 21 01:41

cybershow

but don't let go of the care

Oct 21 01:41

cybershow

I have to go in a mo

Oct 21 01:42

cybershow

think about what I asked about the kernel

Oct 21 01:42

cybershow

is it a lost cause?

Oct 21 01:42

cybershow

Or does Linus just need jis complacent docile ass kicked?

MinceR

it's very difficult to unfuck it now

cybershow

I respect your opinion. Lets talk about it more some time

MinceR

it was always in a difficult position, given that gkh being second-in-command for a long fucking time and his attitude toward the likes of kdbus shows that the entirety of QA for Linux used to be Torvalds

MinceR

and since microslop got Torvalds under control, Linux has no QA at all

cybershow

a cult of one man? hmmm

cybershow

single point of failure bad design

MinceR

according to my notes, this happened on 2018-09-16

MinceR

so if you want a good basis to build a Linux fork on, you might have to go back more than 8 years

cybershow

why that date in particular?

MinceR

cut out all the bloat, and fix all the bugs that are known now

MinceR

that's when torvalds stepped down, iirc

cybershow

I see

MinceR

then on 2018-10-22 they adopted the CoC the suits wanted

cybershow

How did this "Linux FOundation" (suits I presume) take control of Linus?

MinceR

OpenBSD seems like a far better base to build on, and it doesn't even seem fucked yet, to me

MinceR

afaik they offered to pay torvalds and some other devs a salary

cybershow

I agree about BSD

MinceR

and with money came loyalty and corruption

cybershow

they bought Linus

MinceR

and i don't know how they convinced him to step down temporarily and then to accept the CoC

cybershow

and then he resigned from his own project effectively

MinceR

i suspect something like blackmail

MinceR

his behavior changed rather abruptly at the time

cybershow

in theory he could disavow and denounce the foundation and set up alone again

MinceR

it might be impossible to maintain good software for long in a world ruled by microslop

MinceR

he could, but he has stockholm syndrome now

cybershow

he would have the real devs on his side

MinceR

he said increasingly idiotic things since

MinceR

like that windows only crashed a lot because we had shitty RAM

cybershow

irrelevant, we all say increasingly idiotic things

cybershow

MinceR

apparently someone swapped all the RAM in my dual-booted PC every time i rebooted between windows and GNU/Linux

MinceR

imagine that

MinceR

or maybe there was twice the RAM on the mainboard so that it could switch depending on which OS was booted

cybershow

well I can forgive him

MinceR

well, he's not relevant anymore

MinceR

he hasn't had control over Linux for over 8 years

cybershow

who says that?

MinceR

it's microslop linux now

cybershow

that Linus Torvalds is irrelevant?

MinceR

well, consider that he didn't want a CoC, and then they shoved it down his throat anyway

MinceR

i say that

cybershow

okay fair enough

MinceR

they told him he wasn't allowed to chew anyone out for their crap code anymore

cybershow

I' dlike to get him on the show and grill him (in a nice BBQ sauce sort of way)

MinceR

and since then it's very conspicous that microslop drones can push any sort of atrocious shit and no comment from torvalds

MinceR

but if google fucks up, he still chews them out

MinceR

it seems clear who holds his leash

cybershow

I wonder if he undertands his power

MinceR

he has no power

cybershow

probably not

cybershow

he has a lot of power

cybershow

politics is all about image and figureheads

MinceR

well, he's a figurehead

cybershow

but I surmise he is not a political thinker

cybershow

or very self saware

MinceR

and the suits at microslop realized that while they can't hire anyone who can code (or design) his way out of a wet paper bag, they can easily and cheaply fuck up the competitor they're most afraid of

MinceR

and so now we have this bloated, bug-ridden mess

cybershow

sabotage?

MinceR

yeah

cybershow

embrace extend extinguish

MinceR

though i suppose just having microslop's code monkeys "contribute" code to an open source project is sabotage

MinceR

given how shitty everything that comes out of them is, on every level

cybershow

they brought no value though

MinceR

that would have been challenging

MinceR

even for an average developer

MinceR

and for the sort of idiot microslop attract, it's impossible

MinceR

s/ct/cts/

cybershow

name one contribution of Microsoft that obhectively improved the Linux kernel

MinceR

i don't know of any

cybershow

^^^ thats mainly for my own notes MinceR dont answer if you cant think of one

MinceR

cybershow

cybershow

so a poltical takeover to sabotage

cybershow

and Eorvalds was an easy conquest

MinceR

the hype-v patch in staging that wanted to call an rc script to restart networking was hilarious though

MinceR

as it wouldn't even work on their beloved systemd

cybershow

ah yes the whole silly init debacle

cybershow

So MS brought nothing

cybershow

and captured Torvalds

cybershow

and then the kernel went to shit

MinceR

they've put support for their own shit (like hype-V) in there

cybershow

LInux already had at least three virtualisation paths though, am I wrong?

MinceR

they had at least one

cybershow

and user mode linux

MinceR

and afaik they had a rule against multiple implementations of the same thing in the kernel

cybershow

if you want to count that

MinceR

but of course the rules don't apply to microslop

cybershow

His mistake was attacjing his code to his name

cybershow

LInux = Linus

MinceR

i think his mistake was trusting corporations too much

MinceR

the entire community trusted corporations too much, and now it's mostly gone

cybershow

agreed, but....

Oct 21 01:59

cybershow

it's abit difficult for Linus to extricate from the product that bears his name

MinceR

i don't see why

cybershow

optics that's all

MinceR

he could have just announced in 2018 that he's leaving and not coming back

MinceR

and that they should just rename the project to Hartmanux or systemd-kerneld

cybershow

I mean... its LINUX and he is the man... LINUS

cybershow

Hartmanux. LOL that's got a catchy ring to it yeah

Oct 21 02:01

nobody

cybershow> kernel that has most of the cruft and bloat removed

nobody

MinceR> making it a very costly proposition to fork and maintain

nobody

there's several intersting Linux kernel options

MinceR

well, "interesting" is easy

nobody

the linux-tcc fork of mine, fiwix kernel

nobody

and *bsd weren't too bad either, in comparison

nobody

depends on how much you're willing to suffer

MinceR

i've suffered enough already

nobody

$ uname -a

nobody

Linux node01 2.4.37.11 #1 Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -00 1970 i586 AMD GX-415GA SOC

nobody

that's my most recent up-to-date development host

cybershow

well we all suffer for our art. Intersting stuff nobody.

nobody

libc, userspace, _everything_ backported

nobody

fully supported with tinycc compiler

cybershow

that sounds lean and clean

nobody

depends, it certainly is much less lines of code in total, much faster compile times

cybershow

what makes these forks impractical or not widely recognised (i am being presumptuous)

nobody

but there is alot of work remaining on TODO

nobody

and i didn't succed with acquisition of sufficient funding nor cooperation with any employer or university

nobody

really depends what the expectations are, i moved back onto linux framebuffer terminal long time ago, with some linux5 kernel already

Oct 21 02:08

nobody

because i couldn't stand the whole bloat of kde/qt/gnome/gtk anymore either

Oct 21 02:08

cybershow

putting aside funding, what are the challenges to a clean kernel free from unsavour corporate control, blobs and over-complex graphics

MinceR

i probably couldn't even boot that on most of my hardware

nobody

nonetheless, even ffmpeg/mplayer, libsdl1, fbpdf, etc. it's all backported

nobody

MinceR: you probably could, if the hardware supported uefi/CSM and/or legacy-BIOS

nobody

i've too backported/updated some realtek gigabit driver, some cheapo usb2 ethernet dongle, and a few other things

MinceR

most of these don't even support CSM anymore

MinceR

actually, that's wrong

nobody

none of my problems though

MinceR

there are a couple that don't

cybershow

there is a real cybersecurity cataclysm coming, many people would jump at the chance to massively reduce accack surface and LoC/complexity

nobody

i've too successfully ported/tested coreboot/seabios to yet another AMD FM2 bulldozer board...

MinceR

i remember having to use slackware-current on my then new ThinkPad because the latest release had a kernel that was too old

nobody

cybershow: yes, that's another side effect, for real hacking and server use cases a linux-2.4 still is an option

nobody

for that matter, i've too backported/tested sata/ahci, no NVME

MinceR

the switch to NVMe was pretty long ago

nobody

just as said, there's a few open tasks remaining, and i lack the stamina, time and money

nobody

well, if you wish then implement NVMe for linux2 or fiwix

cybershow

that's a lot of work for a one man show... impressive. Is it just you nobody or can you build a team?

nobody

or, OpenBSD and similar aren't too bad either

cybershow

I just saw openBSD is at 8.0 today

nobody

cybershow: of cause i did rely upon the work of others too

MinceR

afaict 2.4 doesn't even have dm_crypt

nobody

but the tinycc-toolchain support, c-toolchain portability, linux-2.4 backports, that's all been my efforts

cybershow

fascinating. I really want to do an episode on all of this one day soon

nobody

bootstrappable.org did a few important pieces for musl-libc, tinycc-devel helped a little here and there

nobody

MinceR: i've patched some custom high-speed loopdev-scrambler into linux-tcc

nobody

and otherwise md-raid is available too

MinceR

what encryption algorithm?

nobody

MinceR: http://tinyfront.mooo.com/projects.html#scram.md

but it's working, high-speed scrambling for ssh2 and loopdev/block-devices

MinceR

how much scrutiny has this algorithm seen from cryptographers?

Oct 21 02:16

nobody

MinceR: known-plaintext key-recovery is IMPOSSIBLE

Oct 21 02:17

nobody

even in weakest ECB-mode of operation, that's how I designed for the sake of it

Oct 21 02:17

MinceR

that's not the only way it could be attacked, though, is it?

Oct 21 02:17

nobody

sure

cybershow

was this your diploma thesis (aggi?)

nobody

cybershow: yes, one among many others which were't "approved" by corrupt german bureaucracy

cybershow

wonderful

MinceR

it's not a question of approval by bureaucracy, it's a question of peer review

cybershow

I'm still refreshing myself on the lay of the land in this area

nobody

it is published for 6 years already and was announced on old freenode

Oct 21 02:19

cybershow

I was asking MinceR about why the kernel became so bloated and out of control and what changes could create a "new linux"?

Oct 21 02:19

cybershow

but you chose Ackermann-Function, why may I ask?

cybershow

what are its novel or useful properties

cybershow

its lite and works on any CPU

Oct 21 02:22

nobody

i'm only referencing the Ackermann-Functions because it showcases the properaties of non-primitive recursion really nice

Oct 21 02:23

cybershow

ok I see

Oct 21 02:23

nobody

in case any cryptographer intended to construct a known-plaintext key-recovery attack against SCRAM, this will yield a non-primitive recursion

Oct 21 02:23

cybershow

do you intend to keep working on a minimalised kernel as a hobby project?

nobody

which means for any such attempt, the runtime and complexity couldn't at least be estimated, to break the cipher with a KPA

nobody

cybershow: yes, i want to continue maintenance of linux-tccm

cybershow

crypto project sounds practical and lightweight

cybershow

okay

nobody

i've too got a complete userspace backported already, of mostly up-to-date versions

nobody

but currently that's a total mess of hundreds of patches and hacks

cybershow

would you lke to talk about it some time?

cybershow

maybe after xams

nobody

hence i want to re-integrate this into a fully "bootstrappable" packaging/system-bootstrap

not much more to tell, because i lack funding completely

cybershow

great seeds for me to folloe wit this idea thankyou gentlemen

nobody

cybershow: thanks for noticing, sleep well

cybershow

gnight both

MinceR

nobody

linux isn't about choice beginning with the toolchains supported

Oct 21 02:32

nobody

it's always been entangled into GNU/gcc/binutils

Oct 21 02:32

nobody

overall, when talking about "linux", a discussion of available "free software" development toolchains is at least as relevant

Oct 21 02:33

nobody

i did succeed, to fully detangle at least one *nix type system from either GNU or llvm/clang

Oct 21 02:33

nobody

that's probably the most relevant aspect, you would NOT be forced to pull into a hundred million lines of c++/rust to compile a kernel

Oct 21 02:34

nobody

i could fully avoid binutils too, finally yasm tested OK

Oct 21 02:34

nobody

and if need be as86/bin86 could do some real-mode BIOS related asm pieces too

Oct 21 02:35

nobody

yasm seems neat, because it supports both GAS syntax and nasm syntax, the latter required for syslinux/isolinux.asm

Oct 21 02:35

nobody

if you wish, you might too add GRUB to the list of what got f*** up, without going into details why that is

Oct 21 02:36

MinceR

i'd rather know what's fucked up about grub

Oct 21 02:37

nobody

ok, but one other note before

Oct 21 02:37

nobody

with linux-tcc i am NOT planning for the "future", i merely seek to salvage a trustworthy FALLBACK development host with sufficient hardware support

MinceR

given that it's the only bootloader i know that can read LUKS and the only boot menu that my UEFI-only laptops are willing to boot (rEFInd won't even start, something else (clover?) also won't even start)

MinceR

of course, UEFI itself is fucked

nobody

no doubt, GRUB is capable and if anyone wishes to use it thats the freedom of choice

MinceR

it's painfully obvious that UEFI was not designed to solve any of the problems its proponents claim it solves

nobody

i object to some engineering issues of GRUB nonetheless, and to understand those you might have a look at live-bootstrap project

MinceR

if it was, we wouldn't even _need_ a boot menu, this gigantic operating system could easily ask the user on its own

nobody

to keep it brief, to compile/assemble/deploy a "simple" bootloader which is software that's needed FIRST during boot

MinceR

but no, i have to install extra software on top of it to do such trivial tasks

nobody

nowadays you MUST compile hundreds of millions of lines of code before, otherwise you can't compile GRUB

Oct 21 02:40

MinceR

i don't think anyone accused GRUB of being simple

Oct 21 02:40

nobody

GRUB builds up a gigantic dependency graph, and although it's among the first pieces required for booting a system, it's compiled last in live-bootstrap (that's where the whole dependency hell is documented explicitely with a complete! system-bootstrap)

Oct 21 02:40

nobody

grub isn't the only trouble source

Oct 21 02:42

nobody

bootcode.S pieces inside linux kernel are problematic alike (in particular when having a look at it from bootstrapping perspective)

Oct 21 02:43

nobody

you must bootstrap gigantic binutils dependency graph for those, which too makes linux kernel NON-bootstrappable effectively

Oct 21 02:43

MinceR

how should it be done instead?

Oct 21 02:44

nobody

that's why live-bootstrap does a kexec to fiwix kernel first, without fiwix linux could not be bootstrapped

Oct 21 02:44

nobody

MinceR: for bootcode.S i hacked yasm support for linux-tcc kernel

Oct 21 02:44

nobody

live-bootstrap and tiny-bootstrap are different though, the former is mission accomplished already, while my fork of it is not

MinceR

what sort of stuff does GRUB depend on?

nobody

MinceR: effectively, to keep it brief, it depends on almost _everything_ and far too much

nobody

it's too big of a beast for a bootloader

MinceR

well, it could be modularized

yes, but modularization would NOT shrink the dependency graph of binutils/gcc/autotools/perl and a thousand other things involved

MinceR

recently i've played with the idea of putting together a system that can store kernels, initramfs-es, whatever, offer complex menus and boot whatever, and have the ability to do some troubleshooting from a shell

MinceR

and would work without UEFI

other bootloaders got a MUCH smaller dependency graph

well yes, what got bootstrapping to do with GNU/linux anyway

Oct 21 02:51

nobody

and if you wished to track the complete dependency graph for a complete system-bootstrap of it to arrive at some most recent gcc/linux5, hell breaks loose nowadays

Oct 21 02:52

nobody

i'm glad nonetheless, bootstrappable.org did succeed with it, and documented related problems explicitely

Oct 21 02:53

MinceR

in any case, if you can bootstrap one OS on a system, that can help you a lot in bootstrapping others, can't it?

Oct 21 02:55

nobody

depends, how complicated the system-bootstrap itself is, and what's bootstrapped finally

Oct 21 03:08

nobody

good thing about current live-bootstrap, it's done and known working to arrive at some recent linux5/gcc

Oct 21 03:08

nobody

but it is very complicated etc.

Oct 21 03:08

nobody

that's why i want to bootstrap the linux-tcc/2.4/tinycc/busybox system instead, as a fallback development host

Oct 21 03:09

MinceR

what's the practical significance of bootstrappability if it's tied to x86 due to the machine code anyway?

Oct 21 03:09

nobody

i already got mentioned fallback development host here, but it's not yet fully bootstrapped

Oct 21 03:09

nobody

MinceR: the practical signifcance is to have at least one such bootstrap to begin with, for at least one ARCH

Oct 21 03:10

nobody

and all other OS/ARCH can be cross-compiled from there later

Oct 21 03:10

nobody

which is the historical fact anyway

Oct 21 03:10

and one explanation why x86_32 with real-mode BIOS rather not be phased out and retained as fallback development host

Oct 21 03:11

with a linux-tcc kernel such as i propose

Oct 21 03:11

you can't really cross-compile x86 hex0 to another ISA though, can you?

MinceR

though i suppose it can still significantly cut down on the amount of machine code you have to write in order to get something useful running on an ISA you can't run anything on yet

Oct 21 03:17

nobody

x86 hex0 is the needed for early bootloader/nano-kernel during bootstrapping, to arrive at some gcc/binutils far later

Oct 21 03:18

nobody

so what is it you're asking, of cause you need gcc/binutils to cross/compile for any other foreign ISA

Oct 21 03:18

nobody

although live-bootstrap began hacking other ARCH, current one supported remains is x86_32

Oct 21 03:19

MinceR

never mind, i've found an answer

Oct 21 03:19

nobody

if you want any other bootstrapped from scratch, you either can cross-compiler from there, or implement the early bootstrapping pieces for RISC-V

Oct 21 03:20

nobody

etc.

" Op you must understand they're PIPing you to avoid having to RA you. They're going to claim to fire you for cause.

schestowitz[TR2]

India found a cheat code to fire Americans, it's the PIP. Unless you can document that the PIP was impossible, applied unfairly or not universally, et cetera, they're firing you. Even if you can prove all of that, you're still going to be fired, and it would take months if not years of lawsuits to get any recovery.

schestowitz[TR2]

Hope for the best, but assume the worst. Get your resume in order and find someplace better than IBM. Literally any other big tech company is.

IsambardPrince

schestowitz[TR2], I was at a dinner party the other night.

Oct 21 08:03

IsambardPrince

The subject of owning a car came up.

Oct 21 08:04

IsambardPrince

I told them I know the numbers of this well, and they'd be better off getting a job that's closer than taking on car payments.

Oct 21 08:04

IsambardPrince

They will never earn enough money with the car to be worth owning a car.

Oct 21 08:04

IsambardPrince

The average new car costs $47,000 and that's before you factor in interest to the bank, full car insurance with low deductibles to satisfy the lender, who can repossess it if you raise your deductibles after the loan goes through, regular upkeep like tires, brake jobs, and oil changes, and eventually repairs.

Oct 21 08:05

IsambardPrince

And that's why these loans go on forever now.

IsambardPrince

Because the only way to make the math work at this point is stretch the loan out for 7-8 years.

IsambardPrince

When I was a child my parents were squeamish about taking on a 4 year loan for a car.

IsambardPrince

Like, they realized that a lot could happen in 4 years.

IsambardPrince

Now people are signing on an 8 year loan for a less reliable car.

IsambardPrince

That guarantees you'll be about 4-5 years into the loan and repairs will start becoming common while you are paying the loan.

Oct 21 08:07

IsambardPrince

So then they say hey don't worry, you can get an extended warranty, for another $5,000.

Oct 21 08:07

IsambardPrince

Then there's a claims adjustment process where as soon as you make claims they figure out ways to not pay. They're good at this. They have lawyers.

Oct 21 08:08

IsambardPrince

And even if they should pay, they'll find an oil change you were a month late on at some point.

Oct 21 08:08

IsambardPrince

schestowitz[TR2], Then there's gas, which is about $5 a gallon right now in Cook County.

Oct 21 08:11

IsambardPrince

The guy wanted a car because he doesn't like arriving to work 40 minutes early on the Metra. I told him "Well, you know, you buy a car and you're fighting traffic instead, and risking a very expensive car accident because Chicago is crowded and there's a lot of very bad drivers.

Oct 21 08:12

IsambardPrince

There's no solution that makes every commuting aggravation go away if you physically have to be somewhere.

IsambardPrince

The car is potentially trading thousands of dollars a year in lost money to gain back, potentially 10-20 minutes per day.

the phone i use has a battery meter

schestowitz[TR2]

it's just one colour

schestowitz[TR2]

dark on backlit screen

MinceR

just the number is enough for me

MinceR

but i understand that most crApple users are afraid of numbers, and crApple knows this too

schestowitz[TR2]

they uaully don't show those

schestowitz[TR2]

in some desktops

schestowitz[TR2]

they show lightening for charging

MinceR

hence "millions of colors" and stupid bullshit like that

schestowitz[TR2]

and then something else, with a volume-like thing

schestowitz[TR2]

which sometimes changes colour when critically low

schestowitz[TR2]

Maya21: something full is not 100%

schestowitz[TR2]

MinceR:

schestowitz[TR2]

which makes it trickey

schestowitz[TR2]

which makes it tricky... as batteries age poorly

schestowitz[TR2]

and then "full" is not a number

schestowitz[TR2]

unless rescaled

MinceR

yeah, i usually charge up to 80% or 70-something%

MinceR

some of my devices can limit it on their own

schestowitz[TR2]

ZedHedTed reminds me of issues i avoid

i like driving, as long as no one else is on the road

schestowitz[TR2]

no such concept as "low battery"

schestowitz[TR2]

unless I am hungry or fatigued

schestowitz[TR2]

MinceR: yes, but it never works like this

schestowitz[TR2]

except in your garage

schestowitz[TR2]

which few have

MinceR

around here it often does

schestowitz[TR2]

they share parking lots with other people

MinceR

especially if i pick the right route

schestowitz[TR2]

who can bump into their mirror or tin when they are away in some apartment high up

MinceR

(i'm not in budapest currently)

schestowitz[TR2]

when I was 17 a lady nearly caused an accident

schestowitz[TR2]

she parked in the middle of the road

schestowitz[TR2]

waiting for a kid

schestowitz[TR2]

she broke the law

schestowitz[TR2]

but that didn't matter to her

schestowitz[TR2]

"i have a kid"

schestowitz[TR2]

"i am allowed"

schestowitz[TR2]

(to clog up a one laner

MinceR

very common attitude

MinceR

"i'm important, nobody else matters, the rules don't apply to me"

schestowitz[TR2]

she wanted to make it seem like the issue was me

schestowitz[TR2]

for having to go around her

schestowitz[TR2]

i no longer have to deal with drivers like these

ZedHedTed

sad indeed. i hate being forced to carry around a bugged mic w/ me all day.

schestowitz[TR2]

i stopped wearing my wrist watch also

schestowitz[TR2]

as usually it's not _that_ important to know the _exact_ time

schestowitz[TR2]

i recognise in some cases it is essential

schestowitz[TR2]

but not everyday

ZedHedTed

that said, i'm not afraid of my phone anymore. GOS has all the spyware stripped out. even Google Play is optional.

ZedHedTed

even if installed, it's sandboxed.

schestowitz[TR2]

the firmware OS is there

schestowitz[TR2]

and it can take over everything else

schestowitz[TR2]

via the towers

schestowitz[TR2]

look into it

schestowitz[TR2]

you cannot change the "other" OS on the board

ZedHedTed

oh shit...i will

schestowitz[TR2]

tldr

schestowitz[TR2]

the antenna has some zero days

schestowitz[TR2]

or bug doors

schestowitz[TR2]

sort of like CALEA

MinceR

the baseband can't take over anything if it doesn't have DMA, but on most phones, it does

schestowitz[TR2]

but not the same

schestowitz[TR2]

oops, yes, baseband, i types firmware

schestowitz[TR2]

*typed

schestowitz[TR2]

this was known 2 decadesa go

schestowitz[TR2]

also se:

MinceR

one way to mitigate this is to have a phone that has the SIM and tethers over WiFi and another device (not even necessarily with a cellular interface) where the important stuff runs and uses the phone as an AP

MinceR

sadly, the Pixel has no memory card slot

Oct 21 18:21

ZedHedTed

when i get my next phone, my current phone will become my AL phone, and this one *does* have docking capabilities!

Oct 21 18:21

MinceR

it seems that there is some occasional progress when it comes to security after all

Oct 21 18:22

MinceR

even if it is just analysis of some unwanted, risky boondoggle that was forced on us, like IME, PSP and Pluton

Oct 21 18:23

schestowitz[TR2]

the aim is not security

schestowitz[TR2]

they know 95% or more of people have them

schestowitz[TR2]

and i imaghine 80% or more of adults carry them everywhere all the time

schestowitz[TR2]

they are addicted

schestowitz[TR2]

so oppressing orgs see that as an opportunity

schestowitz[TR2]

to control over 5 billion living humans

schestowitz[TR2]

so the "irresistible" gadget is status symbol no more

schestowitz[TR2]

people find ways to get by without them

schestowitz[TR2]

or with a lot less of them

schestowitz[TR2]

we want that last group to grow

schestowitz[TR2]

tomorrow i go in person to City Council

MinceR

some of it is

schestowitz[TR2]

to challenge them to give service in person

schestowitz[TR2]

and i will bring pen and notebook

MinceR

afaik the developers of AOSP forks like /e/OS and GrapheneOS are targeting security and privacy

schestowitz[TR2]

to take info

schestowitz[TR2]

MinceR: they say so

MinceR

security researchers who figure out what the IME, PSP, etc. do are also interested in security

schestowitz[TR2]

for people who are mandated to carry skinnerboxes

ZedHedTed

yes, GrapheneOS is heavily security-focused

MinceR

the skinner box is not a feature of the device

schestowitz[TR2]

and are geeky enough to 'mob' their gadgets

MinceR

it's a feature of some applications and websites that can be used on them

schestowitz[TR2]

<ZedHedTed> yes, GrapheneOS is heavily security-focused

ZedHedTed

1 of the "features" touted by Steve Jobs for the original iphone was not needing a stylus.

schestowitz[TR2]

to the point of border 'raids'

ZedHedTed

then 10 year later, we come full circle...with an android phone that comes w/ a stylus

schestowitz[TR2]

stylus was not needed in blackberry

schestowitz[TR2]

it had a keybopard

schestowitz[TR2]

phyiscal

MinceR

i would like to get an AOSP phone with a proper stylus

schestowitz[TR2]

many web interfaces changed

schestowitz[TR2]

people scroll and "like"

schestowitz[TR2]

without saying a word

MinceR

these capacitive touchscreens are super unreliable

schestowitz[TR2]

or tapping some "emoticon"

MinceR

a physical keyboard would be nice, too

schestowitz[TR2]

small screens without stylus -> must have largee buttons

ZedHedTed

blackberry had a physical keyboard that anyone whose fingers were wider than needles could barely type on

schestowitz[TR2]

must have largee buttons - lousy innterfaces

schestowitz[TR2]

lousy interfaces -> lower productivity

ZedHedTed

i recall in 2009-2010 there was an explosion of different phones w/ slide-out and other form factor physical keyboards

MinceR

sadly, the unihertz titan 2 elite is unsupported by /e/OS, LineageOS and GrapheneOS

MinceR

i had some phones with slide-out keyboards, but those were easy to drop

MinceR

i'd prefer monoblock

MinceR

maybe the nokia N97's tilting when opening the keyboard made it even easier to drop

ZedHedTed

yeah, at least touchscreen keyboards get better at predicting your next word/fixing typos with time

MinceR

touchscreen keyboards make me smear the oils from my skin on the screen

ZedHedTed

and there are are FOSS keyboards like openboard and heliboard

MinceR

and they rely on touchscreens that ignore taps all the time

MinceR

i like unexpected keyboard

ZedHedTed

same statistical word perdiction partially behind "AI"

schestowitz[TR2]

LLMms

schestowitz[TR2]

but it is not the same

Oct 21 18:36

schestowitz[TR2]

fixing typo without context is proximity to pattern

Oct 21 18:36

schestowitz[TR2]

across words is CPU-intensive

Oct 21 18:36

schestowitz[TR2]

and probably takes more storage and RAM tooo

schestowitz[TR2]

if not at the client side, then the server

schestowitz[TR2]

which them means it is a keylogger

schestowitz[TR2]

and you don't want a keylogger

MinceR

we probably waste more resources on less important things locally

schestowitz[TR2]

like skinerboxes :)

schestowitz[TR2]

*nner

MinceR

like unnecessary animations, ads and spyware

Oct 21 18:38

Sounds like they're just spreading the remaining FY27 cuts across multiple rounds. They announced 3,200 back in July, cut 1,600 then and another ~260 in September.

cybershow: i don't recommend para-virtualization (containers etc), those promote lax administration of services contained

bms

nobody: someone did a teardown on jails vs docker, something something Voss I think

nobody

jails and chroot aren't much different, and that's the type of administration which must be done

bms

same person did a teardown on seccomp-bpf vs Capsicum (there really is no comparison, Linux "capabilities" are the remnants of POSIX.1e from 1997 which did not land, they are not capabilities in the formal sense)

nobody

besides privilege separation (running services as non-root) etc.

bms

on the contrary jail goes much further

bms

VNET/VIMAGE for example (I shared an office with Marko Zec briefly)

bms

it has advanced significantly since Poul-Henning Kamp first derived it

it's too recommended to separate mounted disk space into writeable and executable regions (i'm loading my executable rootfs non-suid from squashfs read-only for example)

bms

that said the encapsulation is not perfect, it is not and does not claim to be either

bms

(for jails)

I agree that containers tend to sweep it all under the rug. Havent updated the internals of some in a while

such minor things can greatly benefit security, and should be considered with or without Virtual machines alike

yes, Klara Systems, the ZFS consulting outfit in Canada, posted on tying jails down to specific ZFS datasets.

bms

I have Ch10 of Levy to finish off reading his book

Oct 21 23:27

bms

a capabilities model requires total encapsulation

Oct 21 23:27

bms

so in that sense jails can't be said to be such, although jailed processes can be Capsicumized, where the cap-mode namespace restrictions will be hit first. this doesn't make the enclosing jail irrelevant-- it will still constrain what service processes e.g. the Zygotes which Casper spawns for libc-compatible DNS in processes in the sandbox for example.

Oct 21 23:29

bms

the canonical examples of FreeBSD base system daemons which have been Capsicumized seem to be rtsold (IPv6 Router Solicitation) and syslogd itself

Oct 21 23:29

cybershow

my experiences of SE Linux traunatised me. How easy are BSD caps to set/administrate?

Oct 21 23:31

bms

this is subject of my ongoing research -- there's a close correspondence between Python multiprocessing's "forkserver" and the Zygote in libcasper for example, and given how Python processes interact with APIs provided by the platform via the base Python modules, it is probably best to handle sandboxing in a Pythonic way, NOT by wrapping Casper in CFFI or Cython for example

Oct 21 23:31

bms

you have to port code to it -- no other way, but the simplest example is tcpdump

Oct 21 23:31

bms

the restrictions are hard and unremitting once capability mode is entered via cap_enter() or the helper macros or functions Casper provides to ease compartmentalization

Oct 21 23:32

bms

only syscalls marked CAPENABLED in syscalls.master are permitted for a process in cap-mode, no exceptions

Oct 21 23:32

cybershow

how does one scout/recce ahead and know what caps will be needed without intimately knowing the app?

Oct 21 23:33

bms

Robert Watson closed the gap with the pid_t space being globally visible with respect to the designation aspect of capabilities, by wrapping them in file descriptors; procdesc(4). it seemed the right move. MAC continues to be checked *after* or *behind* the cap checks so there's no ambient authority leading to Confused Deputy situations.

cybershow

SElinux was all about test it, fail, test it, fail.... ad nauseum

bms

you quite literally have to know your use cases

bms

yes I recognise the trial-and-error approach well

bms

as a young thing straight out of uni, I was roped into setting up CA eTrust for that on Solaris 2.6 in JPMorgan futures & options onsite

Oct 21 23:35

bms

if you designed your code according to an object-capabilities model or with that approach in mind (as in, becoming a Jedi like disciple of Mark S. Miller, Hank Levy and Norm Hardy and so on as I am becoming now) then it should work out

Oct 21 23:35

nobody

OpenBSD base system utilizes pledge() which needs no further administration

cybershow

I do often have the patience to go full jedi, but 1) things change rapidly and as I get older I find too slow to repeat the work, and 2) its impossible to convince anyone else to follow such a path

bms

an extra neato side effect is that if you were going to use the obj-cap approach, LLM code generation is unlikely to help you, because there are few examples of the genre (Cap'n Proto doesn't count because when I did trial the Qwen and Claude models, they just regurgitated web site content based examples for the most part, and weren't trained on v2 which has the EzRpc

bms

ease-you-into-it-slowly wrappers missing)

bms

nobody: pledge and unveil still require that code is ported to use them. I have not done a full teardown, but it did not claim to be a capabilities model.

nobody

by default services do privilege separation there, overall OpenBSD seems rather safe by default

cybershow

aha that lack of widespread knowledge works as a favour againt LLM attacks, I see

nobody

bms: yes, and openbsd did pledge() their base system

bms

nobody: although folk have proposed to emulate pledge and unveil in terms of Capsicum, there's no real 1:1 correspondence, and the main effort bit-rotted

nobody

would be curious if the OpenBSD port of php is affected

bms

Google quietly dropped their Capsicum port for Linux in 2020

Oct 21 23:39

nobody

bms: another important aspect, administrative and development efforts needed; if you haven't much time, OpenBSD offers a reasonable default

Oct 21 23:39

bms

there was a RISC-V CHERI announcement recently

Oct 21 23:39

nobody

and well, myself remains idling atop linux-2.4 here, without relevant worries

nobody

i've only applied a subset grsecurity patchset of it for ASLR

bms

notably Bitcoin Core is now using Cap'n Proto. But none of the capabilities model. That might warrant a rewrite, on par with "heroic programming". Amir Taaki picked up a rifle, went to Syria, was not heard of after.

cybershow

nobody: the vintage kernel, small attack surface approacj has me curious

bms

you can use capnproto as "better than protobuf" or for faster "cerealization" but it's missing the point

Oct 21 23:41

nobody

cybershow: well, the kernel fork is uploaded already, but i'm not ready to upload the userspace mess with hundreds of patches and hacks

Oct 21 23:41

cybershow

i appreciate ots personal work in progress

bms

of course CHERI is capability addressing, CApsicum is OS level capabilities, and Ccapnproto is capabilities at the IPC/RPC level which kind of fnnnels you into an obj-cap approach

bms

what comes after that is network-as-capability

nobody

and overall i did take a few administrative security precautions, for example loading rootfs from read-only squashfs is something i tend to trust

bms

closest state of art I have seen is Host Identity Protocol

nobody

even when a security breach occurs, it's almost impossible to persist any changes

bms

I got my main FreeBSD box upgraded to AMD Zen 3 arch this AM

cybershow

network as caps is gold. I;ve always wanted to just ringfence some apps as _never_ touch a network

nobody

bms: fine-grained sandboxing requires notable administrative efforts

nobody

with regards to networking i did another administrative hack instead:

*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights (Error from remote client)

bms

it claims to have the Intel-originated Memory Protection Keys feature which are in esseence a limited inter-thread encapsulation mechanism

nobody

with iptables it's possible to filter inbound/outbound based on guid/uid, and by default i block ALL outbound traffic, even uid=root isn't permitted to open an outbound connection

bms

supervisor-mode PKS can mitigate some Ring 0 exposures like the BUMSRAKETE stuff that got found in FreeBSD kernel TLS offload (stuff Netflix relies on for streaming)

nobody

and then i gradually opened several outbound ports based on guid/uid

bms

user-mode PKU potentially lets you compartmentalize things like routing state between threads in a BGP process

bms

it isn't cap-mode addressing; it's just ACLs, but it's still a bulkhead, just not as strong as e.g. sealing in CHERI

nobody

so, even when some security breach occured with any service, chances are any malicious code (which can't be written to anywhere with executable permission), even if any outbound connection attempt would leave some traces in iptables.log

Oct 21 23:46

bms

I remember hacking my Linux 1.x kernel with Slackware 3 in university halls to tie various ports down to various uids with kernel patches ~1997

Oct 21 23:46

cybershow

CHERI works below the OS, on addresses and memory mnagement ? that's sealing?

Oct 21 23:46

nobody

which spares me the hazzle of fine-grained SElinux/capsicum/seccomp etc.

bms

sealing is when you temporarily restrict your own access to a capability grant which you hold, e.g. when about to call into untrusted code

cybershow

okay. you rescind your own access rights

bms

the concept's been around since ~1974 IIRC, a PhD thesis related to an MIT effort Levy wrote about

bms

only temporarily, usually the capability itself is encrypted with a key for example

cybershow

thanks, I like that idea a lot

cybershow

have heard people talk about it

bms

I haven't seen such for the layers further up, e.g. capnproto and capsicum, but the CHERI ABI supports it

bms

I believe it was part of the CMU Hydra capabilities framework which sat atop PDP-11 clusters

Oct 21 23:49

bms

the capabilities addressing technique cna of course be used to support control-flow integrity, though I didn't look to see if LLVM's own CFI software approach was adapted to it

bms

the AMD Zen 3 CPU I now have installed claims to support Intel CET shadow-stacks but not branch tracking

nobody

CFI and things like this, i would throw into the bag of runtime-forensics, which are very expensive, technically

bms

those are mitigations for the so-called "return oriented programming" which sounds like a more polite way of saying "smashing the call stack"

nobody

ASLR is the only memory protection measure i activated with linux-2.4 (because all other such as W^X, stack-smashing protection canaries etc. are intrusive and need extensive support from compiler, and administrative action)

Oct 21 23:52

nobody

in the end CFI, W^X, SSP, none of this prevents memory corruption, it merely detects those

Oct 21 23:53

nobody

while ASLR doesn't detect any memory corruption, it merely makes it very difficult to inject malicious code for execution

Oct 21 23:53

nobody

SElinux, seccomp, etc. require notable administrative efforts in comparison to chroot/iptables/read-only-rootfs

bms

it would be nice to say that capabilities addressing would solve it all, but it still requires people to know what they are doing

nobody

finally security measures chosen depend on what's supposed to be accomplished by those

bms

it makes far more economic sense though, modulo the installed base problem

bms

CHERI vs TRACTOR

nobody

if it's merely preventing data breaches, there's simpler methods than SElinux

bms

CHERI: adapt existing C/C++ code to memory safety through cap-addressing

bms

TRACTOR: rewrite the lot into Rust/Go with LLMs
