asciilifeform: ^ if anyone knows of another - plz post...
asciilifeform: (a classical 'dumbphone', matchbox-sized thing, with actual buttons and --- strangely alone in ENTIRE class of dumbphone other than it - whitelist ringer)
asciilifeform: in not quite related noose, asciilifeform took his brother to a phone shop to activate a very vintage 'krazor', and the clerks all wished to know where they can also get one...
asciilifeform: at any rate, that era is as far removed from asciilifeform's lived experience as the glory-of-rome
asciilifeform: sadly these were people of a lost era, where there were not only actual brains around, but massive surplus wealth from the great monopolists like bell
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw i only learned of him today, from mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: go while the planes are running, mats.
asciilifeform: mats: like you, i have no knowledge of a useful in free world profession.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had a piece about this.
asciilifeform: usachwitz never historically worked by removing passports from inmates (though, in BingoBoingo's case...) but rather by mutilating folx to make'em unfit for life outside
asciilifeform: mod6: the parachute isn't risk-free, if you hid it somewhere where enemy may turn it up, it can be worse than useless
asciilifeform: or, alternatively, a much easier sha1 collision, in which case i only fool ~all extant gpg clients~ but not a d00d with magnifying glass actually multiplying out the rsa
asciilifeform: i thought he was referring to a pre- +m trinque
asciilifeform: ( d00d lives in a parallel world where , e.g., mpex is dead, and ready to tell any old-timer randomly reappearing in his chan - as they sometimes do - that it vanished long ago, etc )
asciilifeform: meanwhile, so i get a crate with the infamous 'lattice ice' fpga. and go and set up the OPEN SORES!!!11111!!!! toolchain. and lo and behold, it not only bristles with CODE OF CUNTDOCT!!111 etc., but... won't even build
