mircea_popescu: anyway ; still not entirely convinced as to WHAT to use to encrypt the eulora-privkey with.
mircea_popescu: not some sort of genius thing ; but leaps anmd bounds above what eg blizzard offers.
mircea_popescu: yes, but you'll be able to set the salt in config, is the point.
mircea_popescu: "set this if you want only this machine to be able to run your account", long time a holy grail of high-value game accounts
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally i intend to use this in eulora - have the privkey file encrypted, and have both a client-wide settable prefix and a password
mircea_popescu: (salt, it should be pointed out, is nonsense leftover from the "md5 is broken and that's ok" days. if your hash needs a salt you need a new hash.)
mircea_popescu: yeah not a very good scheme. anyway, convention is pw field uses $ver$pw, and i see ubuntu sets it to 6.
mircea_popescu: supposedly... * means "account disabled" and null means no pw needed.
mircea_popescu: phf ubuntu has a bunch of "rtkit:*:15016:0:99999:7:::"
mircea_popescu: dude wtf, isn't all www run off a "public_html" or similar homedir ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger understand, it makes 0 difference that you "exist" in the sense of, have a tight relationship with your gf. existence is solipsistic, you exist to X once X bothers to get your key.
mircea_popescu: 1st seems more like spot check and 2nd i'm not sure the two did have a prior relationship
mircea_popescu: then the whole thing was badly designed and whoever deserves to lose.
mircea_popescu: maybe i have a really important message and i send it 2nd, what.
mircea_popescu: see, allowing a well tailored pyramid of risk eating is not bad. it's good.
mircea_popescu: the reason is that large scale crime syndicates don't... think bars important enough ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger what happens when you go to a bar and order a drink is that the bartender pours you a drink.
mircea_popescu: "promisetronic" in the sense of "not rippletronic/ethereumtronic/etc" is a good thing.
mircea_popescu: not only is it done, and done tons, contrary to his "never" : but it is eminently administrable and accountable, as i just proved.
mircea_popescu: seems this is exactly defined as "get X's key from Y you trust". observe :
mircea_popescu: Framedragger "using the wot to validate a public key".
mircea_popescu: diana_coman that part, of "who", is kinda baked in the design as it is, because of the .seals
mircea_popescu: anyway, you should prolly go through your inventory and hold a garage sale / auction. prices changed a lot since a year ago
mircea_popescu: anyway. any tool bps or stuff ? many things went up a lot.
mircea_popescu: they kinda became rare and are selling for crazy, 500%+ premiums.
mircea_popescu: aanyway. the moral broadly speaking is that there's a windows-niggers-and-other-idiots python ("windows-niggers-and-other-idiots" which is how you decode "3" in unicode) and a normal people python which finally became stable cca 2010 and thanks god.
mircea_popescu: obviously... except until www gets involved and you have escaped code points vs bytestream
mircea_popescu: gotta stop the spread of "fake news" and other burgeois propaganda.
mircea_popescu: phf for the obvious reason, the horde of consumers want to do what other people have done. the idea is for terrorists to not be able to communicate with upstanding, law abiding citizens, not the other way around.
mircea_popescu: and they always package "sid" (ie, devel) as opposed to stable
mircea_popescu: anyway. 10.04/10.10/11.04 are squeeze ; the rest up to 14.04 wheezy and then jessie.
mircea_popescu: (they "commit to security updates within 9 months". fancy that wonder.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, ubuntu repackages debian every 6 mo or so
mircea_popescu: Framedragger guess what, toddlers drinking bleach die just like adults do.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess all this gives a very interesting answer to the "how does tmsr gpd compare to fiat states gdp". apparently they produce 2 gpgrams/year/capita, and consist of what, 1k of the herbivores ? meanwhile ben_vulpes 's thing deals in what, dozens/day ?
mircea_popescu: that's kinda what they do, whenever something moves without hitler they try to barnacle on it.
mircea_popescu: notice how he glued himself to heartbleed (which, unlike the normal hanno bockian crap, was a surprise to the empire).
mircea_popescu: hurr durr, they were doing pgp subversion research and picked his hanno bock to publish some results.
mircea_popescu: just go make a littoral self-rape ship, this software/internet stuff is a waste of your talents, folks.
mircea_popescu: schmucks really came a long way from the 80s. srsly, consumer-mentality based fud "oh noes, i worry about my key! government should come and give me certainties! putin influenced elections! guns kill people!"
mircea_popescu: oh, he's trying to sell whatever other nsa altpgp. myeah, whatever.
mircea_popescu: "I never ever ever successfully used the WoT to validate a public key." ie what we do here multiple times a day ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: random schmucko bum-student dun have a business ; or any business here.
