Wed 13:38:29 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "IBM's Quantum Technology & Quantum Safe" = IBM inviting 'influencers' to lie about their vapourware. Appalling, all-time low.
Wed 13:40:25 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "If you are excited about the H1B ban... ...Please realize that Offshoring and lower labor costs remain central to IBM's workforce strategy..." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1m7517rd0#replies
Wed 13:41:08 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "H1B ban us step one, the ban on offshoring is coming up too… open your eyes."
Wed 13:41:24 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "Its to late, banning offshoring just means no more jobs moved abroad. It does not prevent job losses in the US, just have [slop] replace the roles instead of cheap Indians."
Wed 13:41:38 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "This is the point people dont get. Stopping H1B's and Offshoring now is like locking the gate after the house has already been robbed. Its far too late. Its not going to bring back jobs, it just means those lost jobs are not longer done by Humans"
Wed 13:42:14 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "Why do we need H1Bs in the US? Not needed, go home and stay home. Bye!" https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1m71dtsbk#replies
Wed 13:42:42 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "I’m not sure I understand the scope of the change. Is IBM ending H-1B sponsorship for current employees before their existing status expires, or will those employees be able to continue working through their current approval period, with IBM declining to file extensions after three or six years or sponsor green cards?"
Wed 13:42:55 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "If employees can keep working through their current approval period, the number affected immediately may be relatively small."
Wed 13:44:06 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "no RAs in the December. People affected have to be terminated before the end of 2026. An RA means the employee is notified on month in advance before the termination."
Wed 13:44:20 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "this is what happens when you work at IBM… you always end up being sc--wed. Stay away from IBM… it is a disgusting employer."
Wed 13:44:32 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "This is true. But if you live in the US, what they WILL do and HAVE done to many good people is tell an employee "you are being separated for performance. Your last day is today." They will pay you out for the remainder of the pay period and your insurance will be valid until the end of the month."
Wed 13:44:41 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "So - if they can spin up some story about your performance for whatever reason they can come up with that keeps them from being sued, they could technically fire you right up through mid December. As someone else pointed out - stay away from IBM. It's a toxic culture of fear."
Wed 13:47:40 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ Windows TCO: "Mimicking the Petya ransomware strain, NotPetya was an infamous destructive wiper malware strain that wormed its way across the global economy." https://www.theregister.com/security/2026/11/11/shipping-giant-maersk-probes-it-security-incident-data-theft/5309096

Thu 19:57:58 │ 〖andy〗 │ thamks for the bot block tips Roy. I got myself into a mess using fail2ban. It's actually not a very friendly ecosystem, lots of config files to tweak and one wrong regex and you screw yourself. Using awk scripts to do it yourself looks cool. I'm open to suggestions of other approaches but it always comes down to the same basic thing; parse the logs and shove rules into iptables.

Thu 20:49:35 │ 〖nobody〗 │ talking of intHelll
Thu 20:49:43 │ 〖nobody〗 │ sigh
Thu 20:50:41 │ 〖nobody〗 │ long story short: it's NOT possible nowadays to compile a tiniest boot-loader from source without pulling into a hundred million lines of code of compile-time dependencies such as GNU binutils
Thu 20:51:38 │ 〖nobody〗 │ isolinux.bin, that's tiny 14KiB to burn an ISO with it onto CD-RW, to boot linux
Thu 20:52:04 │ 〖nobody〗 │ but intHell breaks loose once you want to assemble/compile those tiny little 14KiB binary
Thu 20:55:25 │ 〖nobody〗 │ *this
Thu 20:55:56 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i've checked all x86 loaders: GRUB-legacy, GRUB2, syslinux/isolinux, LILO
Thu 20:56:27 │ 〖nobody〗 │ LILO seems the least complicated among them all, it's using the old bin86/as86 intell assembly syntax just like linux-2.2 did in 90s
Thu 20:57:05 │ 〖nobody〗 │ but can't be used for CD ISO boot (without el-torito floppy emulation)
Thu 20:57:45 │ 〖nobody〗 │ grub-0.97 uses some GNU gas specific syntax which yasm -p gas cannot process - aarrrggh
Thu 20:58:07 │ 〖nobody〗 │ syslinux/isolinux does need GNU binutils-ld specific linker-scripts - it really hurts
Thu 20:58:36 │ 〖nobody〗 │ no wonder intHell decided to hide all those issues inside some proprietary UEFI-binary.blobs
Thu 20:59:11 │ 〖nobody〗 │ AMD needs their ARM PSP, just to lauch some x86 real-mode bootloader code
Thu 20:59:18 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's ridiculous
Thu 21:00:05 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's easy to compile and deploy GRUB, for as long as one accepts a 100 million lines of code for binutils, gcc, autotools, perl and a thousand other things needed
Thu 21:01:17 │ 〖nobody〗 │ just to assemble some tiny eltorito_stage2.bin from asm.S sources
Thu 21:02:04 │ 〖nobody〗 │ modern UEFI merely shifts those things outside line of sight
Thu 21:04:25 │ 〖nobody〗 │ booting from CD ISO complicates things further, some variants need some "emulation" from BIOS
Thu 21:04:55 │ 〖nobody〗 │ easiest then being, emulating some 1.4MiB sized floppy, yet which linux kernel would fit onto such nowadays?
Thu 21:05:13 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and i am not sure if various BIOS would emulate this correctly
Thu 21:05:36 │ 〖nobody〗 │ some hard-disk emulation too exists, which maybe could be used with LILO
Thu 21:06:25 │ 〖nobody〗 │ becasue LILO got no CD ISO bootcode support
Thu 21:07:38 │ 〖nobody〗 │ GRUB itself is decent, but i fundementally dislike the idea to pull in 100 million lines of code dependencies
Thu 21:08:22 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's stage2_eltorito 95KiB sized bootcode for CD ISO is a tad bit larger than isolinux.bin 14KiB, but supports more filesystems
Thu 21:20:20 │ 〖nobody〗 │ just found an even older version of syslinux, maybe i can get away with it _without_ GNU binutils at least
Thu 21:41:07 │ 〖nobody〗 │ seems so, in worst case i may have too bootstrap NASM if YASM got some other issue
Thu 21:41:29 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i already got some half-way decent yasm build inside tiny-bootstrap
Thu 21:41:56 │ 〖nobody〗 │ crossing fingers... it'll have to wait until tomorrow
