iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

this is the best one because many things point to it being a unsolvable hardware issue with their stupid fucking horrible all metal lap burning case github.com/FrameworkCom... evidence also points it to breaking when... enumerated. such as by fwupd at least i can theoretically repair it

Pretty interestingly, it seems like there might be some connection between this type of failure and touching the outside case of the laptop when there is some electrical potential built up relative to the case. I might be way off base here, but when it's not plugged in and I touch the laptop case with the prong of the charger, I often get this same message:

`Aug 03 23:01:19 redacted kernel: usb 1-4.1: reset full-speed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd`

... coupled with a reset of USB devices such as external monitors and headphones. I discovered this accidentally when going to plug the thing in to charge it while journalctl -k -f was up.

Also, that kernel log up above (with the SCSI, reset device number 7, and so on) happened right when I got up to turn on the lights, did so, and then sat back down and touched the computer. There's no carpet here and I'm not doing anything crazy electrically speaking. But it does seem like a remarkable coincidence if it is a coincidence.

Happy to provide more info or answer any questions about my setup that you have (whether or not it ultimately turns out that my weird theory about touching the case turns out to be accurate in any way.)

so thats why i couldnt initially find the link

i just realized i have the rust docs-rs lead RES tagged as a troll and RES voteset to be very in the negative and have for 6 years entirely because of this one comment but its literally just this one 6 year old comment that made me do this and good backups that have kept my RES settings

my favorite part is where every single Mac OS X device in existence has this bug

Simpler code but the bug is still there. This dates 25 years back, to the release of Mac OS X. We start getting a grip on the situation, the bug was there since the first release of Mac OS X shortly after the internet boom. Which means all modern macOS and iOS software were affected by this bug. Nice, so everyone is impacted but I still want to find the origin of the bug.

I don't understand what's supposed to be concerning. It's just this but in a language center equivalent that's more capable at those kinds of patterns and across more symbols. LLM tokens aren't words or letters

wait, roblox has *re-introduced* Safe Chat, which it had removed many years ago, but worse, more limited, and weirdly corporate? just bring back safe chat and My House Is On Fire, GTG

hey don't worry, it could still all be wrong because man pages are untrustworthy and unreliable on linux! Maybe what actually happens is sensible and has been for a decade and the documentation is just obsolete? wait..

For example "In general, the kernel community has long worked to maintain a vague and scary ambiguity around the legal status of proprietary modules while being unwilling to attempt to ban such modules outright." lwn.net/Articles/603...

It is worth noting that nobody has said that symbols exported with plain EXPORT_SYMBOL() can be freely used by proprietary code; indeed, a number of developers claim that all (or nearly all) loadable modules are derived products of the kernel regardless of whether they use GPL-only symbols or not. In general, the kernel community has long worked to maintain a vague and scary ambiguity around the legal status of proprietary modules while being unwilling to attempt to ban such modules outright.

oh all of its builds fail and take longer than the limits huh? docs.rs/crate/enprot... seems they usually take 40 minutes to fail and succeeded exactly once, in 2020, at version 0.3.1(which is also the first version)

hmm. this feels sus to me but im not well versed enough in cryptography to know or articulate why www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/im...

Once the session key has been calculated, a SHA256 HMAC is calculated over the data that is to be uploaded. Afterwards, the data is compressed (unless --compress none was passed to mount.s3ql) and the HMAC inserted at the beginning. Both HMAC and compressed data are then encrypted using 256 bit AES in CTR mode using PyCrypto. Finally, the nonce is inserted in front of the encrypted data and HMAC, and the packet is send to the backend as a new S3 object.

god this next part is horribl Michael just comes out and says the obvious and gajdusek is of course unwilling to care, as he'd been his whole life. The theme throughout is a complete of care in others wants and needs except to a minimum extent for his own benefit

truncated

An F.B.I. agent began trying to interview the children, but the only one who spoke freely was a twenty-three-year-old whom I’ll call Michael. He had met Gajdusek in Pohnpei, a volcanic island in Micronesia, when he was fourteen. His departure was arranged so quickly, Michael told me, that he never said goodbye to his parents. In America, Gajdusek quickly found ways to touch him. “Being a doctor, he could say, ‘Hey, come here. I need to check you, because you’ve got to make sure your medical is clear,’ or whatever,” Michael said. “I didn’t understand it. I was always finding reasons to explain it to myself.”
In his journal, Gajdusek described Michael as “aloof in a strangely disturbing way,” often “slinking into the house” without announcing his arrival. “I detect a certain rage,” Gajdusek noted. After a fight, Michael said he wanted to go home, explaining, Gajdusek wrote, that “he has always wanted to anyway, it is me who is holding him here.” By the time Michael was in college, Gajdusek acknowledged that the relationship was “pathological,” but he blamed Michael. “I keep hoping and praying that he will resolve his peculiar conflicts with me,” he wrote.
Michael agreed to secretly record a conversation with Gajdusek for the F.B.I. In 1996, he called Gajdusek at his lab and said that investigators had been trying to question him.
Gajdusek was about to leave for Paris for a conference on prion diseases, where he would give the keynote lecture. He told Michael that he should simply say that he was never molested.
“So you want, you want me to, like, lie to them?” Michael asked.
“Yes,” Gajdusek said. “Absolutely.”
“Well, now that I’m thinking about it, I wanna know why.”
“What?”
“I wanna know why you did it to me.”
Gajdusek switched to a private line in his office. “Look,” he said. “If you go on and talk to people about that, you’re gonna get us in so much trouble that you’re gonna close the life down for the kids at college, close my accounts down. I’ll have t…

Seriously it cannot be understated how much of a piece of shit he was to them, so much neglect and blatant disfavor after growing up, beating them, having them cook for visitors, not supporting them in school, blatantly replaceable and replaced, and so full of delusions about his treatment of them

Gajdusek often wrote about the ways in which “relationships of long standing slowly fall apart and disintegrate from neglect or directly destructive action,” adding, “This fascinates me and since I am increasingly a part of such alienations I look at them in awe.” He noted, “It remains as always, the ‘denouement’ that are the problem.”

image of guy and kids

Luwi became one such source of trouble. In the fall of 1986, he went to Paul Smith’s College, in upstate New York, where he remembers being among only a handful of students who weren’t white. He drank heavily and didn’t do his schoolwork. After a year, he flunked out. He told Gajdusek, “I cannot stay around this place anymore. I just want to go home.” Gajdusek, who recognized that Luwi’s year in college had “injured his ego,” bought him a ticket to Papua New Guinea.
The night before his departure, Luwi’s friends threw a party at a park and he stayed up all night drinking. When Gajdusek saw him early the next morning, he wrote, Luwi was “in tears & at times near to rage in inebriated disequilibrium, crying that I avoided him & ‘never talked with him.’ ” A few hours later, Gajdusek took him to the airport and waved at him from the departure lounge as Luwi cried. “I am very glad that he is off,” Gajdusek wrote.
That same day, Gajdusek’s newest ward, Daniel, arrived from Micronesia. He was nine years old, the son of a man who had been one of the first generation of boys from Micronesia to come to the U.S. “I am in love with Daniel!” Gajdusek wrote, two days after Luwi left. “He is a wonderful, bright & alert & non-demanding small boy.”

the fucking delusion

During Luwi’s third year in the U.S., Gajdusek read Henry James’s first two novels, “Roderick Hudson” and “Watch and Ward.” Both novels are about “would-be benefactors” who are “basically sexually crippled, gifted persons,” Gajdusek observed. He was struck by James’s insights about “the sense of undeserved obligation, and imprisonment or slavery or mind washing” in youth drawn into a benefactor’s orbit. He copied several lines from “Roderick Hudson” into his journal. “May I learn ever better to produce freedom in adolescence & not bondage in all the kids I touch,” he wrote.

didn't even support them properly

Luwi got D’s in algebra and woodshop, and his head almost “burnt down” when he had to stand up in his U.S.-history class and read aloud his paper about the War of 1812. “BOY DO I NEED HELP VERY MUCH,” he wrote in his journal. But Gajdusek was often travelling, or busy with work. There were nights when no adult was at home. He and the other boys poured whiskey in their coffee in the morning, to keep warm as they walked to school. After Gajdusek stormed off one evening, angry that Luwi was being too noisy and hadn’t done the laundry, Luwi wrote, “Good luck Carleton wherever you are out having a nice meal and maybe a glass of champagne but remember we depend on you.”
