Sun Nov 20 16:41:55 UTC 2016 <Framedragger> i too agree that funkenstein's one-side hate of apple software/hardware paints too simplistic a picture. and it's not the case that "no smart developer uses crapple". say what you want, it's still a "unix system". yes, raped, etc., but, functional (to a degree).

Sat Nov 19 18:26:26 UTC 2016 <kakobrekla> corrupting the source would go a long way
Sat Nov 19 18:06:57 UTC 2016 <punkman> TIL "Mount the filesystem read-only. A synonym is -o ro. depending on the filesystem type, state and kernel behavior, the system may still write to the device. "
Sat Nov 19 18:00:20 UTC 2016 <punkman> fine, a dvd-r and a dvd-rw
Sat Nov 19 17:59:47 UTC 2016 <kakobrekla> with a switch :)
Sat Nov 19 17:57:42 UTC 2016 <punkman> whole lot easier to get a usb dvd r/w drive I guess
Sat Nov 19 17:29:16 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> (i wrote a flasher for 'phison' brand chipset in 2012, but since then other folks made a much better, and published one, and the chip docs also)
Sat Nov 19 17:27:04 UTC 2016 <punkman> I got a box of chinese flash with switches, haven't cut open yet though
Sat Nov 19 17:26:29 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> i cut open a number of units claiming 'protect', it is all done in soft.

Fri Nov 18 15:55:57 UTC 2016 <Framedragger> would be great to have access to a 10GigE, masscan scales super well (as you probably saw it then suggests to use a specific intel driver etc)
