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

[04:25]	DaemonFC	Err, Who's there?

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

[04:39]	DaemonFC	Oh good. Lousy engine performance, crappy air conditioning, and noise.

[04:43]	inbloom	DaemonFC is some guy out from the mad max movie
[04:43]	DaemonFC	The Buick is going in next week for rust repair so it's back to driving the Impala around for a little while.
[04:44]	DaemonFC	There's not much rust on the Buick considering the age, but I intend to get rid of the body rust. The undercarriage looks really good.

[06:26]	matey	youd need some way to verify the build...
[06:26]	matey	and now (hopefully) you understand why this is solving what CAN be solved and (not only that) what has to be solved

[06:32]	psydruid	a verifiably unverifiable build

[08:00]	matey	why should we fully implement VT340. with 25 users, when we could fully implement unicode, with millions of users?

[08:09]	matey	gtk1 doesnt support unicode
[08:10]	activelow	question is: does GTK1 or GTK2.6/GTKFB need unicode support, to show CJK, greek/kyrillic glyphs
[08:10]	matey	gtk2 uses pango
[08:11]	activelow	of cause, the Hebrew/Farsi/Arab/Hindi support is gone; nonetheless it is still possible to have it, GNOMEification with Mapple TrueType, Harfbuzz etc.
[08:12]	activelow	gtk2 is slighly confusing, because it seems not consistent among minor version bumps; gtk2.6 used an older pango version 1.8... moment
[08:13]	matey	i think we can rule out unicode as a jewish conspiracy
[08:13]	matey	Code page 862 ( CCSID 862) (also known as CP 862, IBM 00862, OEM 862 (Hebrew), MS-DOS Hebrew) is a code page used under DOS in Israel for Hebrew. Like ISO 8859-8, it encodes only letters, not vowel-points or cantillation marks.
[08:13]	matey	im not even slightly surprised that hebrew was (mostly) supported before 1990
[08:14]	activelow	matey: seems with pango-1.8 freetype/fontconfig are optional; meaning gtk-2.6/GTKFB and pango-1.8 do not need it... just in case i really want GTK2.6/GTKFB

[11:46]	psydruid	I stopped buying AMD hardware in 2009. Even though Linux "users" adore them for their "free" graphics drivers, I believe supporting the company by buying its products does more to help Microsoft than buying Intel, Apple or preferably other non-x86 hardware.

We looked at the IIS server and, even under heavy load, when the app slows down dramatically, the resources are not strained... no CPU spikes no RAM spikes. Digging further we came to the conclusion that all the requests coming in are simply being queued. When some of requests take 
[19:11]	bnchs	longer (for some very large reports that take 1-3 minutes) then every other request is being queued up waiting for the first ones to go through."

[21:23]	schestowitz-TR	DaemonFC: according to people WHO EDIT Wikipedia
[21:23]	schestowitz-TR	could be anuyone
[21:24]	schestowitz-TR	many people and orgs write their own pages
[21:24]	schestowitz-TR	about themselves
[21:24]	schestowitz-TR	DaemonFC: can you proofread with me?
[21:24]	DaemonFC	Fixed a typo.
[21:26]	DaemonFC	"The fact that AAA lobbies against motorist rights and for unconstitutional and corrupt traffic camera schemes and ridiculously low speed limits that nobody pays attention to is like finding out your donations to Planned Parenthood are actually funding Female Genital Mutilation (and as far as I know, THAT isnt happening, but AAA is the car owners version of that)."
[21:27]	DaemonFC	schestowitz-TR, MetroMile fucked me real good on Roadside once.
[21:27]	DaemonFC	So I was in Fort Wayne, Indiana which is 200 MILES from Chicago.
[21:28]	DaemonFC	And then my Crown Victoria blows a brake line. I called MetroMile for a tow. I bought the Roadside because mom kept letting our AAA lapse and I didn't want to call and find out it wasn't working.
[21:29]	DaemonFC	So, I get in my MetroMile app and ask for a tow. Nothing happens. I call them, they say "Well, we sent a tow truck to your location on Wacker Drive.
[21:30]	DaemonFC	I say "I'm not on Wacker Drive. I'm on State Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana. How can you have something on my phone with GPS access _and_ plugged into my car with GPS access and think I'm in Chicago?".
[21:30]	DaemonFC	mjg59_'s San Francisco tech bubble economy.
[21:31]	DaemonFC	But it qualifies as having liability coverage and my bills were averaging $20 a month because they're a questionable insurance outfit running on VC losses like everything in mjg59_-land.
[21:31]	DaemonFC	:)
[21:32]	DaemonFC	And if I hit anyone and they sued MetroMile, not really my problem. So their lawyer and MetroMile would get into a shit throwing contest.
[21:32]	DaemonFC	But now that I have a nice car, I'm using an established insurance company.
[21:32]	DaemonFC	When you get "full coverage", MetroMile really isn't good on price anymore.
[21:32]	DaemonFC	And you may end up filing a claim for yourself.... So you may as well take your business to a reputable firm.
[21:33]	DaemonFC	Instead of going "$20 a month and if I hit anything, not my circus not my monkeys.".
[21:33]	DaemonFC	I mean, other than being in CLUE, but that'll happen regardless of who you caused the loss to.
[21:34]	schestowitz-TR	DaemonFC: can you proofread with me?
[21:35]	DaemonFC	I ended up having to literally push my Crown Vic into a Midas nearby and tell them "replace the brake lines" while one of their mechanics steered me in.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	schestowitz-TR, Yeah, real quick.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	Gotta go to the post office soon to mail MetroMile their shit back.

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

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

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

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

[23:55]	MinceR	for example, the .gifv suffix is treated specially

[23:55]	MinceR	it gives you a simple html page
[23:55]	MinceR	with a video version of a gif embedded (if applicable)
[23:55]	MinceR	and set to loop

[23:56]	MinceR	and if you omit the suffix (. included), you get redirected to the relevant page on imgur's website (imgur.com, not i.imgur.com)
