08:43:55 <izabera> does anyone know how those self extracting zip archives work?
08:44:14 <izabera> in my understanding there's a program and then they append the archive at the end of it
08:44:29 <izabera> they must store the offset of the archive somewhere
08:46:15 <hppavilion[1]> Have there been any terrorist attacks recently enough that it'd be insensitive to make a 'fork bomb' joke?
08:47:04 <\oren\> There's always terrorists attacking somewhere.
08:49:10 <izabera> or they put some kind of marker and the program scans itself to find it
08:49:10 <izabera> i guess it's probably a fixed offset and they compute it once per architecture and then reuse the same executable and recompute it when they recompile to update their program
08:51:40 <zzo38> For ZIP archives I think it is a marker.
08:52:07 <zzo38> So, if you append a ZIP archive to a PNG picture, a program that reads PNG or ZIP will be able to read the corresponding part just fine (I have tried this).
08:53:10 <izabera> so is there a string that will never be part of an elf or pe file?
08:53:23 <izabera> something that can be used as a marker
08:53:49 <zzo38> izabera: That is impossible I think, but the program could be written to avoid it so that the marker can be found.
08:54:21 <izabera> wouldn't that require some major hacking in the compiler?
08:56:22 <zzo38> I am making a program called Xwicketset it is another C library that goes over Xlib to provide many additional functions including widgets. For example to deal with resources there are functions XwicGetResource, XwicGetLeafResource, XwicGetStringResource. The most complicated function so far is XwicCreateMainWindow, which is more than fifty lines long, and uses some of the other functions.
09:02:15 -!- AnotherTest has joined.
09:08:34 <zzo38> Have you made any programming with X window system before?
09:09:50 <zzo38> I still think X is better though; I don't like Wayland
09:15:11 <zzo38> It seem Canonical does not like Wayland either so they invented Mir. I don't like either of those and believe X11 should be replaced by X12 instead (I have written many ideas about how X version 12 could be made up).
09:15:40 <izabera> they just wanted to be unique
09:24:42 <\oren\> they should just make a version of X that removes all the parts that noone uses
09:26:23 <\oren\> This would break compatibility with lots of very old X programs, but people who want to use those can use the old version of X
09:27:14 <\oren\> This would solve the problem of "X is bloated" without creating the problem of "now we're running both wayland and X"
09:28:11 <zzo38> Some things I would remove from X include such thing as GLX, Xcursor, and several other extensions, as well as the protocol requests for setting the font path and screen saver controls (and use separate methods of setting these things).
09:30:31 -!- J_Arcane has joined.
09:31:55 <zzo38> My method would be to implement a proxy to convert between X11 and X12 requests for the cases where the program is not modified to work natively, as well as to implement a proxy for doing security features.
09:32:20 <fizzie> izabera: At least zip files have the directory part at the end of the file.
09:33:53 <izabera> ah that's smart, put the metadata at the end
09:36:10 <fizzie> You can see this in action in unzip's I-don't-know-this-file error: "End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive."
09:39:22 <fizzie> Self-extracting rars go with the marker approach -- unarchivers skip any leading bytes that precede the first occurrence of an 8-byte signature ("Rar!\x1a\x07\x01\x00"), failing if that signature is not found within the first megabyte.
09:43:06 <lifthrasiir> fizzie: isn't that generally true for ZIP files as well?
09:43:56 <b_jonas> zzo38: isn't that sort of what happens with X11 clients over wayland, or X11 clients over windows?
09:44:06 <b_jonas> zzo38: oh, that reminds me, I have a question about X11
09:44:38 <fizzie> lifthrasiir: I don't think so.
09:45:34 <lifthrasiir> fizzie: I think ZIP appended to other binaries can work without central records at the very end of file for that reason
09:46:50 <fizzie> "Tools that correctly read .ZIP archives must scan for the end of central directory record signature, and then, as appropriate, the other, indicated, central directory records. They must not scan for entries from the top of the ZIP file, because only the central directory specifies where a file chunk starts. Scanning could lead to false positives, as the format does not forbid other data to be ...
09:46:56 <fizzie> ... between chunks, nor file data streams from containing such signatures."
09:47:01 <b_jonas> \oren\: what's wrong with both wayland and X? it took a few decades, but now people really run entire linux computers with no termcap support (neither the library-level compatibility layer nor the actual TERMCAP env var for statically linked programs), without a.out (ancient-libc) support, and even without x86_32 libc support.
09:47:30 <fizzie> But I don't think that's necessary for the self-extracting functionality, since the directory *is* at the end.
09:47:39 <b_jonas> I will probably run X11 forever, but the sort of people with their fancy "desktop environments" will probably be running all-wayland in a decade.
09:48:28 <zzo38> Some programs such as Xaw could be ported to X12 however.
09:50:10 <b_jonas> zzo38: anyway, some people try to claim that traditional X11 is "unsecure" because any program with access to the display can steal the images and keyboard input and whatnot from all other windows; and they try to show their fancy modified X11 server or proxy or whatever it is showing that the same exploit doesn't work there. But I don't believe what they say:
09:50:26 <zzo38> I would rather to design and then switch to X12, and failing that use X11.
09:51:24 <b_jonas> If those people want these crazy transparent borderless menu overlay windows that they already use in X11, then how could a user ever be sure which window is where and which window they're typing to? They might not even know where the mouse cursor is. I just don't understand how any such system could be secure,
09:52:18 <b_jonas> short of having a trusted vnc server whose head is shown entirely in a window that can't capture the mouse or keyboard events and has a distinctive border and can't draw outside, which IS what I want for this kind of security, but it doesn't appear to be what they're after.
09:52:29 <b_jonas> Does what these people say against traditional X11 even make sense?
09:53:01 <b_jonas> (Also they try to sell this as if it was some sort of sensational new exploit, but whatever.)
09:53:38 <zzo38> It would be better to use different screens for different security contexts when it is necessary to do so probably. Although a X proxy could be made to do what you say. X11 is not designed for this but could be done; X12 has some things that would make such a proxy less messy.
09:54:41 <b_jonas> zzo38: yes, exactly. I'd like to run three local X servers this way, and I hope I can show the contents of one in a window of another in a way that's cheaper than vnc through a PF_UNIX socket, but I don't have my hopes high.
09:54:56 <b_jonas> (Three, becase one for sane stuff, one for web browser on untrusted websites, one for skype.)
09:56:22 <zzo38> They could also change the border colours to indicate if the inner security context is active, so that you can detect the keyboard logging and stuff like that. (This way would allow it to work even if the programs are running on different computers.)
09:59:05 <b_jonas> mind you, one thing that makes this sort of thing expensive is that the clients to the restricted X server aren't allowed to know even about paint events or which part of their window is visible, so they must keep rendering the video even when it's actually covered on my screen entirely
10:00:17 <zzo38> By setting the permission of different connections in the UNIX system, there can be the security between the different security contexts. For example implement a kind of "securex" command perhaps, that will set the DISPLAY variable and then run the program so that it cannot access the main X server connection.
10:00:41 <hppavilion[1]> Now that I think about it... wizards being willing to eat all of the weird candy that there is in Harry Potter makes them seem either fetishistic or sociopathic

10:08:49 <b_jonas> zzo38: oh, I can already make it so that a program can't access the main X server connection.

11:33:20 <Melvar> Xnest is a program which acts as an X client to an ordinary X server, and as an X server to its own clients. An X nested inside X. I’m not sure in how far it might fulfil your security stipulations though.
11:34:24 <b_jonas> Melvar: I see, I'll have to examine that
11:34:43 -!- SLiV has joined.
11:35:11 <b_jonas> Melvar: I knew there were some two other headless X servers apart from vnc derivatives (and there's too many versions of vnc stuff really), but one of them is Xvfb which is truly blind in that you can't view the display at all,
11:35:19 <b_jonas> and I don't recall the other.
11:35:42 <b_jonas> Note that the truly blind one is still useful for some stupid scripts that need to access X but don't actually need user input or output.
11:35:55 <Melvar> Xnest is not headless, if I understand that term properly: It creates a window which acts as the root window of the nested X server.
11:35:56 <b_jonas> Or for eg. some automated testing.

11:39:50 <fizzie> Fun fact: you can peek at the Xvfb framebuffer by adding a -fbdir argument. (It will make one xwd file there for each screen, and then mmap the framebuffer memory from there.)
11:41:23 <fizzie> And the other Xnest-like thing is called Xephyr.
11:41:38 <b_jonas> fizzie: nice, thanks for both of those info
11:41:43 <b_jonas> I will probably promptly forget that
11:41:46 <fizzie> (I think it mostly does more modern X extensions than Xnest, or some-such.)
11:41:57 <b_jonas> maybe we should make a list in some wisdom entry or something
11:42:32 <Melvar> “Think Xnest but with support for modern extensions like composite, damage and randr.” says man Xephyr.
11:43:12 <b_jonas> Melvar: ok, I'll have to check both of those then
11:44:44 <Melvar> It goes on to explain that Xnest is a proxy limited to the capabilities of the host server, whereas Xephyr does its own processing and merely draws an image for the host server.
11:45:50 <fizzie> Apparently there were also plans for a "xf86-video-nested" video driver to run a "regular" X server using a X window as the video output, but that seems to have gone nowhere.

11:46:29 <b_jonas> Melvar: meh, when a software documentation says "this software is like foo but better" then I NEVER believe anything it says about foo, because it usually compares itself with some ancient version of foo and the docs is never updated to tell that foo is already better and knows all that's listed there.
11:47:06 <b_jonas> Although in the case of an old X11 utility, there's less chance for this, I'll still have to examine Xnest on its own first, rather than trying to gleam information about it from the Xephyr docs.
11:50:44 <Melvar> man Xnest suggests to me that it is in fact a thinner proxy than Xephyr, at any rate. Less like Xephyr is better than it serves a different purpose.
11:54:24 <Melvar> Though I might be wrong since I’m not sure what the respective purposes are supposed to be.

12:45:40 <b_jonas> Melvar: the g is there because I didn't know how to encode it in unicode
12:46:03 <b_jonas> Melvar: I also don't know how to encode the "d" rune, but I used the "th" rune which is at least superficially similar and possibly related to it
12:46:25 <Melvar> “They are extremely rare in Viking Age inscriptions, but are common in earlier (Proto-Norse) and later (medieval) inscriptions.” — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bind_rune
12:47:07 <b_jonas> Melvar: but still, the text explicitly calls out for a double-m rune
12:47:15 <b_jonas> (it's also in the channel log)
12:49:14 <HackEgo> [U+16EF RUNIC TVIMADUR SYMBOL]
12:49:16 <b_jonas> Melvar: https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Voyage_au_centre_de_la_Terre/Chapitre_3 "En effet, la première lettre est une double M qu’on chercherait vainement dans le livre de Turleson [the book in which the parchment with the message was hidden], car elle ne fut ajoutée à l’alphabet islandais qu’au quatorzième siècle."
12:50:03 <Melvar> Yes, and apparently the message was written by a sixteenth-century alchemist, so that would make sense.
12:50:23 <Melvar> The book itself being far older, of course.
12:51:40 <Melvar> The one you used is said to be used as a calendar symbol only, but the name certainly looks like it was constructed as a double-M.
12:51:51 <b_jonas> Melvar: anyway, the other problems with encoding include the two different variants of the C rune (used for c, k, q in the text), the two different variants of the A rune, and more.
12:52:09 <b_jonas> Also some stuff about capital letters looks strange.
12:52:20 <b_jonas> And, I dunno what else, you'd have to search the channel logs
12:52:47 <Melvar> Yeah, the capitals are way strange since I don’t think any runes had a case distinction.
12:54:40 <b_jonas> Melvar: sure, but the alchemist who wrote it in the 12th century was probably familiar with a variant of the latin script that had case distinction, so that part at least isn't too strange.
12:55:21 <b_jonas> FireFly: it's... complicated. It's some made-up version of futhark probably, one Verne figured from incomplete sources, because he didn't know too much about the history of futhark. Or so I gather.
12:55:26 -!- SLiV has quit (Quit: Page closed).
12:55:41 <Melvar> Ah, it looks like the message has them different in size.
12:55:51 <b_jonas> Melvar: not only different size, but also shape
12:56:10 <b_jonas> Melvar: the capital I rune has serifs, and, wait, there was one with an even more strange difference
12:57:46 <Melvar> Amusing aside: At home I have a thing with something that’s described as “an actual bookstaff”, this being a rod of beech-wood with runes carved into it.
12:58:09 <b_jonas> FireFly: what? serifs on runes make sense. runes have their shape because they were carved in wood, but later runes also got carved to stone, and in stone the serifs help
12:59:19 <b_jonas> Melvar: look at the A at the start of Arne, that one has a different shape from the normal A apparently
12:59:23 <FireFly> I guess? But I've never seen any serifs on runes carved in stones
12:59:39 <b_jonas> although the difference is probably only that it's a seriffed variant
12:59:41 <FireFly> the idea to put serifs on runes never occurred to me
12:59:54 <b_jonas> FireFly: wait, are you some sort of rune carver or something?

13:01:30 <b_jonas> I mean, this is #esoteric, I brought the inscription in here because I fully expected that there will be at least people more familiar with futhark and/or unicode and/or futhark's unicode encoding than me.
13:01:46 <b_jonas> So I wouldn't be too surprised to find people with chisels too.
13:01:56 <FireFly> Oh sure. hence prodding nortti above. He's the residentt rune expert as far as I know
13:03:35 <FireFly> I only know how to read younger futhark
13:04:18 <Phantom_Hoover> cuneiform has serif-like marks on the strokes but that's because it's written on soft clay
13:04:45 <FireFly> It's also not exactly carved, is it?
13:04:55 <FireFly> More molded, except I'm not sure if that is the right term
13:05:40 <b_jonas> FireFly: yes, it's on paper or parchment or something, maybe with ink... I don't recall what the text says
13:06:18 <FireFly> I should read that book anyawy, regardless of inscriptions
13:06:20 <b_jonas> FireFly: yes, the verne one
13:06:38 <b_jonas> Btw, there are two scanned copies of probably the same original image, a better one on fr.wikisource, and a worse one (higher res but black and white) in an English translation of a book
13:10:24 <Melvar> FireFly: Impressed is what I have heard it called what cuneiform is.
13:12:37 <Melvar> You specifically don’t want to remove any clay from the original glob, because that would just be a terrible mess to clean up.

19:52:57 <izabera> because i like machines more than humans

22:47:36 <HackEgo> The IOCCC is the Industrial Ordovician COBOL Conference Circuit. Not to be confused with OIC. See also ioccclist.
22:47:45 <HackEgo> ioccclist is update notification for when a new year of the International Obfuscated C Code Contest is announced, or the winners for a year is announced, or the source codes of winners are released. http://www.ioccc.org/#news
22:48:29 <shachaf> Did you hear about my dream?
22:48:35 <shachaf> I don't remember the details of it anymore.
22:48:44 <shachaf> But there was a conference about cartesian closed categories called "IOCCC".

23:06:20 <shachaf> I'm quite irritated that Elronnd edited my wisdom entry in secret.
23:07:50 <Koen_> is the "hates with a passion" thingy a recurrent joke?
23:09:27 <HackEgo> Your mysterious renouned cackling zombie overlord emeritus oerjan is a lazy expert in future computation. Also a Precambrian Norwegian who mildly dislikes Roald Dahl with a passion. Lately when he tries to remember a word, "amortized" pops up instead. His arch-nemesis is Betty Crocker. He sometimes puns without noticing it.
23:10:10 <shachaf> I liked the phrase "for his convenience". It's a shame that's gone.
23:10:57 <quintopia> at least "mildly dislikes with a passion" is a proper comedic form

23:31:27 <fizzie> Speaking of typography, I heard TfL (Transport for London) commissioned a new variant of the font the use in the Tube from Monotype, called Johnston100, to replace the old New Johnston.
23:34:05 <shachaf> Multiple people I know are visiting there for a while.
23:34:17 <fizzie> We just moved offices.
23:34:34 <fizzie> I came back from a two-week Finland vacation this Monday, straight to the new place on its first day of business.
23:35:33 <fizzie> http://www.businessinsider.com/googles-new-11-storey-office-in-londons-kings-cross-2016-6
23:36:07 <fizzie> So far it feels much more like a generic corporate office than the previous one -- no quirky quirks of any kind.
23:36:55 <fizzie> But maybe they'll adjust it. Only the top half's done, anyway.
23:37:28 <shachaf> fizzie: Funny, I heard the same thing from the people I worked with about the office they moved to.
23:37:44 <shachaf> (The word "corporate" in particular.)
23:38:24 <fizzie> Maybe they've hired more that kind of people in the REWS organization.
23:38:44 <fizzie> I know the ones in London don't even like our mannequins.
23:39:02 <shachaf> I'm sure whoever is in charge of that organization REWS the day they hired those people.
23:40:11 <fizzie> Our team's got six or so mannequins dressed up in various animal costumes, and grapevine has it all REWS does internally is complain about them. We didn't even dare to let them move that stuff, for fear of it accidentally "getting lost".
23:40:27 <fizzie> AIUI, one of the senior folks now has a car full of body parts as a result.
23:41:11 <fizzie> (I don't know, I was in Finland.)
23:46:20 <shachaf> But what I heard was that the new London office was going to be the best office ever made.
23:46:25 <shachaf> Or is that yet another office?
23:48:10 <fizzie> They still haven't start building that one.
23:48:15 <fizzie> This is just a rented building.
23:49:45 <shachaf> They won't let you have mannequins in the rented office?
