adlai: mod6: protip: next time you're interviewing, mention that commutes are a dealbreaker. ☟︎
phf: BingoBoingo: there's a su science finction novel, "a billion years before the end of the world", where an astrophysicist on a verge of discovery is plagued with random events that disrupt his work. so after some trials and tribulations he and his friends realize that universe exists in a sort of entropic equilibrium that creates an active counter balance to rational intervention
BingoBoingo: phf: I'm pretty sure if someone attempts that an avatar of physics becomes incarnate, personally finds the person doing that and delivers a swift kick in the crotch.

phf: asciilifeform: it was funny in my head. something about who needs reversing skills, when you can do brute force fuzzing by indian and become a millionaire (in rupis)
a111: Logged on 2016-04-11 02:27 mod6: asciilifeform: are you lookin for a wfh job then or what's the deal there?

adlai will open a coinbr account when s.limbs delivers ipo
asciilifeform: (the bitter taste may not even be a bug, but a feature.. - repels teenagers, trendoids, 10,001 species of pond scum)
asciilifeform: i'm mostly convinced at this point that any serious attempt at sanity will be a similar enough thing to ada that it will trigger all of the same allergies in same folks.
ben_vulpes: ada's not a decent mill?
ben_vulpes: http://www.antiqbuyer.com/images/2012-ARCHIVE-2/IMG_3663.jpg << how about a shitty lathe?
asciilifeform: we dun have a mill.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: trb is also a millstone, not a mill.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-10 21:52 ben_vulpes: https://angel.co/prismatic << 2 nerds raise ~20m to write lispalikes on the jvm. build consumer facing content curation apps. write a megatonne of highly useful, open source software. fail to pivot to enterprise once the consumer play is obviously not panning out, fold up shop.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-10 19:55 ben_vulpes: i am having a hard time with a republican selection of a tool written after i was born
mircea_popescu: i wonder what'd happen if we crossed in a thousand agars a thousand cascadianhacker blogs with a thousand explo.yt blogs.
mircea_popescu: i keep getting pms from randos who got banned in b-a.
phf: oh damn that's a lot of log

ben_vulpes: simply a radical departure from surface-level form!

ben_vulpes: shinohai: owncloud is a miserable piece of garbage
punkman: http://qz.com/656104/a-fleet-of-trucks-just-drove-themselves-across-europe/
asciilifeform: 'I created a proof of concept of this attack. This isn't enough to launch a real attack, because an attacker only has 16 bytes of DOS assembler code, which is very little. For a real attack ... ' << l0l! fella apparently doesn't know that microshit PE format has a (i shit thee not) ~dedicated field~ for 'load exe from url and execute'
asciilifeform: does a leaked pr0n subtract, or add to, the value of future pics of same chick?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wai wut, weren't you the one with 'woman isn't even a woman unless her arse is posted on www'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly most? my understanding is that 'pNohe' is a usaschwitz/workingclass thing
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many peeps haven't ever loaded teh logs on a phone.
phf: asciilifeform: yeah, on phone, you click on nick to get a link for entry
phf: asciilifeform: in a vaguely related note the way i've been reading is to click on the entry that i read last (whether it's last line or wherever in the logs) and then do refresh, which extends the log to new state, but keeps my context, something worth trying
asciilifeform: phf: no good. it turns into a specific date
mircea_popescu: and ftr, just in case the kratos = power mind is strong and the verse reads "o noobs, fight shield to shield and never yield [to the enemy]", it is not. it is mide fygis aischris archete mide fovou, ""o noobs, fight shield to shield and never yield [to panic and a coward's flight]
mircea_popescu: helleniki to ro is a fucking nightmare of ages, nothing works right. NOTHING!
mircea_popescu: check me out, i actually made a proper fucking english verse to translate greek!
mircea_popescu: this is an exact mirror of how a different but overlapping set of societies deliberately and elaborately belames pretty girls to think "they can't do math".
phf: i have a reverse osmosis machine that i carry from apartment to apartment, i then drill holes in granite countertops and such. still waiting for somebody to deduct the holes out of my security deposit..
mircea_popescu: and a functioning console still does more work than a "correct" computer with nonfunctioning gentoo on it.
mircea_popescu: maybe add a "a111 nuke misppealing" command for a111
mircea_popescu: might need a little manual adding/substracting because obv some keywords also appear more than once, and in the future there may be false positives, but in general...
mircea_popescu: jurov> and it might actually bolster up creating good tmsr jargon << this is actually not a bad idea. something like "every word that appears exaclty once before shall be linked to that instance. every word that appears only in linked references produced by the foregoing gets linked to the previous instance."
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at a comp sec convention 'shmoocon' they handed out, among other souvenirs, little plastic sliding shutters for webcams
asciilifeform: if we turn up a bucket of cheap crays somewhere, i will port it to cray..
asciilifeform: and i do not believe this to be in any reasonable sense a work of chance.
asciilifeform: (it is heavily unoptimized for human consumption and arm asm is a bitch to audit)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-10#1449684 << finally read this. i suppose this is not a bad time to remind folks of the 'arm' cpu being a lothesome piece of shit that i have 0 desire to use for anything if it can be avoided ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <jurov> they explicitly point out it's overcomplicated and has thus big attack surface. so, no sane walletotron that way. << I really don't mean keeping much in the way of hardware. Just a plastic case that arouses a wildly different kind of suspicion.
jurov: phf just an idea: if someone comes up with a completely new (or very rare) word like the w-tron above, use it to link to previous convo?
shinohai would love to put trb on a gameboy one day ☟︎
asciilifeform: admittedly i find some of he '80s-'90s game machines interesting from a systems perspective, they had minimalistic iron and ran 'os-less' long into the era when x86 languished under microshit
asciilifeform: jurov: ty for summary, now i can snore again, i never did and never will give a flying fuck re game consoles
adlai: fun fact: if you 'hack' off your location broadcasting wristband, you're gonna forget it in your pocket when you leave, and have a Bad Time.
adlai: asciilifeform: 'asylum' of some sort, yes. it's quite a story! too long for logs, saving for the blog.
punkman: "The armour is a composite sandwich, with boron carbide on the front face (a hard ceramic), followed by the metal foam, and either aluminium or kevlar on the rear face. The metal foam is made of 2mm-diameter hollow steel spheres in a stainless steel matrix." sounds expensive
phf: i don't have a eulora build on this machine
mircea_popescu: hey phf, can i get you to log into eulora for an hour ? i need a noob to do a bouq click to see what comes out.
asciilifeform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5rMKHLV6Hk << variation on this theme. with ~wolf~ instead of bear, and a number of other tweaks.
mircea_popescu: si asa a ramas ursul pacalit de vulpe [and so the bear was left tricked by the fox]
mircea_popescu: whenever he catches on fox, fox cries out in joy "pull, pull, you're pulling on a root"
mircea_popescu: seeks out fox in a rage, fox runs into a tree hole. bear can't get in, grabs a hooked branch, tries to get fox
asciilifeform: (a reason that was in place as early as '97)
asciilifeform: the intel turds are ciphered and signed for a reason.
asciilifeform: re the microcode thing, i can picture mircea_popescu going on a bank heist, and, coming up against a massive safe, 'let's not bother with the dynamite, fellas, this thing surely is full of used condoms'
asciilifeform: or, he has a pie, and i do not, enemies.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of stupid.
asciilifeform: and i see this as proper, because scheming against a ~stupid~ enemy is largely a waste of time, because how to know ~exactly how stupid~ he is ?
asciilifeform: iirc i once did explain that my mental model of the enemy is myself with a negative sign.
asciilifeform: incidentally, and perhaps mircea_popescu does not know this, but even here in the heart of mordor this phrase is a comical byword for idiocy, like nixon's plumbers
mircea_popescu: the correct model, ie, the zoo, is right here. the republic is a zoo. outsiders are kept in cage.
asciilifeform: bit of a puzzler
mircea_popescu: a better model would be "a zoo where the humans are scored by how many times the animals have sex with them"
asciilifeform: yes, once in a while some critter escapes.
mircea_popescu: they want to live in a world of idiots. this means they can never be safe. full stop.
asciilifeform: but something their coke machine dispenses when you stick in a benjie.
asciilifeform: because this is not a precious master key
mircea_popescu: i don't see how any of this is a counter to what i said.
asciilifeform: they get revoked at the drop of a hat.
asciilifeform: 'As KeRanger encrypts each file (i.e. Test.docx) starts by creating an encrypted version that uses the .encrypted extension (i.e. Test.docx.encrypted.) To encrypt each file, KeRanger starts by generating a random number (RN) and encrypts the RN with the RSA key retrieved from the C2 server using the RSA algorithm. It then ....' << L0l!1111
phf: mac version of torrent client i use was compromised couple of months ago, "oops we found a ransomware, we don't know how it got there"
shinohai: The only reason I used it was for trb private key issues, and the last time I tried to add a key it borked the entire wallet.dat.

asciilifeform already has a shitjob, dun need another that pays 10x less for anything
shinohai: "Police dropped all endangerment charges in exchange for him not filing a complaint about them expressing relief he won’t be able to reproduce." https://thevalleyreport.com/2016/03/14/man-shoots-off-his-own-penis-taking-selfies-with-gun/
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform ON A MOTHERFUKING SATURDAY yet ANOTHER phone interview with folks who ~lied~ in advertisement re telecommute << Seriously try home depot ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Ok, someone with a better idea of how SSL works, pls qntra this
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo et al ^ qntra-able ?? << Mebbe? Lemme take a look
mircea_popescu: anyway, root domain isn't a very good test. who knows, maybe there's some web-based "log in" state thing somewhere on cryptome or w/e.
asciilifeform: there still always remains the chance to not merely 'x is a scam' but to take the scammer, and nail his arms and legs to the floor
