Coronavirus thread Anonymous 02/14/2020 (Fri) 14:22:15 No.1652
Given that the Mobile World Congress got cancelled and industrial suppliers are starting to feel the lack of cheap imported chinkshit due to all the shutdowns it's as good a time as any to have a thread discussing Corona-chan's antics from a /tech/nician perspective. Summary of recent events: >Apple, Samsung and others shut down their Chinese stores >Wuhan funeral homes recieve around 100 bodies to cremate a day with the fire numbers rising, are understaffed and overworked to the brim >More Chinks are infected and/or dying than can be transported to Hospitals or crematoriums >Smuggling rings and militias formed around Wuhan and possibly other cities, attack helicopter formations spotted flying over neighbourhoods >Hospitals don't have enough Masks or test kits for diagnosing let alone beds to house their patients, now supply lines of general medicinal goods are starting to choke too >PRC economy at a standstill, CCP is paying businesses for now but many companies say they won't survive if it keeps up >Corona cases outside of Chinkland keep rising in number, most of them on cruise ships >Western companies and suppliers growing increasingly concerned at the lack of goods coming from China, automotive production set to be particularly affected due to all the parts produced in Chinkland >On top of all that there have also been reported outbreaks of Bird flu and Swine flu among Chinese livestock >CCP desperately trying to downplay and censor everything with help from the WHO >MWC cancelled as every major participant drops out How will Inthell, AMD, Jewgle and others handle this? The majority of their fabs are situated in the PRC which is coughing with no survivors, they can't meet their production goals if the quarantine measures keep up and moving all their shit to India, South Africa or Venezuela can't be done in a short timeframe. Map of infections: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 Infection numbers with sources: https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/02/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/
But is it libre? I simply cannot approve of proprietary, non-free bio viruses.
>>1654 Pretty sure it's open source.

>>1657 >Pretty sure it's open source. He asked if Corona-chan is free, not if she's butt naked. Free Software Foundation cares more about software being non-proprietary, rather than it just being open-sourced.
>>1654 Considering science is the massive reverse engineering effort of nature, no.
>>1658 It's free too you fucking mong. Go cry about Mozilla making Firefox or IBM making the Kernel.

>>1654 The source code is available at the NCBI and I don't think it has been copyrighted or even licensed yet. And even if some kike did try to copyright it Corona-chan has infected so many people you could just take samples from any nearby coughing chink and sequence your own novel Coronavirus genome as she's certain to have mutated into multiple strains by now.
>>1664 >protein sequence == source code >implying reading it isn't as hard as reading machine lang
>>1660 >It's free too you fucking mong. Open sourced ≠ free. >Go cry about Mozilla making Firefox or IBM making the Kernel. I'm already using the Tor Browser in Gentoo GNU/Linux, though. The only thing that would make me actually complain about the Tor Browser, would be it's niggerlicious defaults that you can't or rather shouldn't change. Linux's quality hasn't got worse, so no real opportunity to complain about the kernel either (except for the CoC that restricts it's actual programmers freedoms). Dunno why you though I'm a freetard in the first place, but maybe you're just niggerlicious.

>>1665 Has anyone tried to write a high level genome editor though? Current biotech still seems to be limited to handwriting all their genetic edits with comparatively limited computer assistance. >tfw you will see proprietary AIDS meds sold by Jewgle-Bayer with internal warranties that put HIV virions in hibernation and reactivate them once the warranty expires >open source alternatives are fucky dogshit written in Crust full of bloated extensions for alleviating complications during dilation which are impossible to fully remove due to the substance's large genome with many interdependent multi-enzyme complexes >hippies, niggers and desperate poorfags get high on homebrew mushroom and weed mods, chinks sell brainwashing pills in spam emails and ascended furfags pozz random pets+wildlife with viruses that turn humans into furries
>>1673 No. They haven't even figured out the ISA. In fact most researches are still done by tracing specific (usually disease-related) phenotypes to proteins and the whole mess of genes. Not even close.
>>1666 There's nothing proprietary about coronachan until they develop a "cure".
>>1678 >theres nothing proprietary about a viral pathogen >it's only proprietary if theres a cure Doesn't the cure require reverse engineering to get in the first place? If it was really Free (as in freedom) there wouldn't be any need to reverse engineer in the first place. Now, this doesn't mean the CURE will be free either. got to remember FREE != gratis. Things that are pass out freely like candy are free, but they aren't FREE (as in freedom)
>>1652 oh fuck off with your meme flu nobody gonna remember it in 2 months, as always
>>1683 I wouldn't underrate it. First case in Africa and first person died in Europe.
>>1683 n'aw it's gotten pretty infectious as it is. The incubation rate on the thing goes for about 42 days and can spread during, victims are largely asymptomatic during that period. It's already surpassed ebola-chan and SARS....

Injecting into yourself and watching what happens. My personal dream is to run a black market biomodding business. Truth be told, most molbiofags will probably start doing this first chance they get. You can get your amino acids from a protein powder vendor and no one will bat an eye. Want dNTPs? Good luck having that shit traced to you. They are cheap as fuck too.

Reading that the Gates Foundation, WHO, Wuhan Institute of Virology, CDC and NIH got emails and passwords leaked. People accessing through SSH and downloading everything, supposedly. Only issue is the source is a Qfag larping on twitter.
I managed to convince my school before you ask, no, I'm not underage b& to continue our classes via Jitsi Meet instead of whatever bullshit solution they wanted to try. As it turns out, they were rejoiced and even amazed by how simple it was and how well it worked, and thanked me for the recommendation. Fast forward a few weeks: my country's local police decided it would be a good idea to put an alert regarding Zoom (fuck Zoom) and Jitsi Meet. Basically, they said Jitsi Meet was insecure because it did not have a fail2ban-like system for password retries and that there was a particular vulnerability that allowed supplanting another user's identity. In specific, they listed it was CVE-2017-5603. At first, I was weirded out Jitsi wouldn't fix a vulnerability discovered in 2017, so I investigated and found out that both MITRE and NIST have a link to Github with the patch that solved the vulnerability. Later, I found out via Twitter that even Jitsi was publicly calling the police out on their bullshit, stating that the vulnerability was solved immediately and that in the first place it only ever affected the desktop client, never Jitsi Meet. As it turns out the security alert regarding the supposed Zoom vulnerabilities was also outdated, so they silently removed the alert, but it was too late: the press had already parrited that bullshit and obviously they were not going to remove it. So now we are forced to use Skype because the boomers at charge didn't want to believe me nor Jitsi's official tweets. And I really, REALLY fucking hate Skype. I had to make a Firefox profile with a spoofed user agent just to use Skype Web (that shit ain't entering my system anytime soon) because the fuckers at Microsoft have banned the access to anything except Chrome and Edge, rrgarding they are not supported (which is bullshit, Firefox works just fine). I knew the police have always been incompetent, but not incompetent enough to fucking WARN AGAINST A THREE YEARS OLD VULNERABILITY THAT'S EVEN IN THE FUCKING NAME. I am sure Microsoft and Google had a hand at this; fucking FUDders managed to hire the police as astroturfers, holy shit.
>>2658 lmfao. That's dumb. Just another case of boomers misunderstanding technology and larping as security experts.
