asciilifeform: lemons from the лимонка tree

asciilifeform: eh hey hey everybuddy knows that good people use natural shells

asciilifeform: with the split tail

asciilifeform: lul!!! model mig25!

asciilifeform: 50 'critical' where, namibia?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-26#1573515 << dafuq was this ..? ☝︎

asciilifeform: in other noose, 'Last block: 3 days 10 hours ago (Block 440210)' << bitbet.us

asciilifeform: ah yes

asciilifeform: ('set 2 upper...')

asciilifeform: notice the several ways koch fucked it

asciilifeform: i dun like including hashes in keygen. they create bit-sequential correlation

asciilifeform: we had thread

asciilifeform: i will point out, at no point afaik has anyone fucked up modexp. it is keygen that is the gnarly and diddled part

asciilifeform: well no shit 'generate yourself' but ~with what~

asciilifeform: and also lacks the radio noise reduction patch

asciilifeform: shinohai: keep in mind, 1.4.10 has the prng crud

asciilifeform: it is ~key generation~ that needs rest of bignum

asciilifeform: btw rsa only needs 1 op, modular exp

asciilifeform: koch's shitball per se is written in such a way that the cruft is glued on with broken glass (all the ciphers are modularized in very gnarly multilayered way, whole thing relies through and through on his weirdo streams thing, 1,001 idiocies) ☟︎

asciilifeform: *only a

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-26#1573465 << there is inly a decrufted mpi (bignum) from it, it is on my www ☝︎

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: 'computer science' is taught with chalk

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski oughta ask for his money back

asciilifeform: wai is there a computer involved

asciilifeform: otherwise great machine

asciilifeform: alternator failed in traffic

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-26#1573428 << asciilifeform once had a similar one ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-26#1573424 << what is pete_dushenski studying? ☝︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes possibly might take an interest ^^

asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://learnbchs.org/index.html

asciilifeform: 'The flood of “fake news” this election season got support from a sophisticated Russian propaganda campaign that created and spread misleading articles online with the goal of punishing Democrat Hillary Clinton, helping Republican Donald Trump and undermining faith in American democracy, say independent researchers who tracked the operation.'

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/LjZTk << today's v. beobachter front page, i shit thee not ☟︎

asciilifeform: consider sharing the fw ( in-wot, pgpgram )

asciilifeform: this one would definitely be a 'extract & post the fw for fuxxsake' occasion

asciilifeform: also happens

asciilifeform: box switched on, undervoltage detector tripped, reset ad infinitum...

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-25#1573340 << interestingly -- yes. but in that case it was a failing power supply ☝︎

asciilifeform: ah this , yes

asciilifeform: megatonne of dross that no sane folk use, sitting there only to wait to admit usg tentacle

asciilifeform: nah , pedestrian hole

asciilifeform: ... it was for this.

asciilifeform: in case anyone ever wondered, while grunting through linux kernel config options, what the nonsensical cryptolade were for

asciilifeform: 'A malicious interaction with the keyctl usermode interface allows an attacker to crash the kernel. Processing the attached certificate by the kernel leads to a kernel nullpointer dereference. This vulnerably can be triggered by any unprivileged user locally.'

asciilifeform: in other noose, http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2016/Nov/76

asciilifeform: sounds vaguely familiar ( moldbug era? )

asciilifeform: and wtf is 'organ of corti'

asciilifeform: who and why!

asciilifeform: the degenerate cases where f == m for some m are annoying but interesting on account of the implications -- there are 3prime debianized mods in there!

asciilifeform: some/any

asciilifeform: if factor f appears, it follows that it 1) divides some mod, m 2) was not previously in list of factors known to divide some mod, m

asciilifeform does not know cn

asciilifeform: pay per byte.

asciilifeform: (no monthly/whatever idiocy)

asciilifeform: it is great isp for obscure crackpots like asciilifeform, as there is no time charge

asciilifeform: Framedragger: it ain't ever running a gossip node or anything that isn't apache for that matter

asciilifeform: it mostly likes to serve static html pages, wordpress barely worx (they give you 1 postgres instance)

asciilifeform: veeery narrowly single-purpose item.

asciilifeform: cannot update self

asciilifeform: it's a last-century pure cgi thing

asciilifeform: and does not permit persistent processes

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: *attempt

asciilifeform: Framedragger: i unfortunately cannot recommend it any longer, because it is guaranteed to be incompatible with any attemp at 'tmsr dns' or similar

asciilifeform: nearlyfreespeech co. ☟︎

asciilifeform: it was/is an ancient isp thing

asciilifeform: nono

asciilifeform: with 0 major under-hood work.

asciilifeform: it will be a decade old soon.

asciilifeform: with no excuses

asciilifeform: 24/7/365

asciilifeform: i.e. fucking works

asciilifeform: it is the only net thing i have ever touched that worx like the gas line to my house, or like analogue 'pots' phone

asciilifeform: i am loathe to move it, because it has ~100% uptime even under full bore slashdot circa '08, and costs ~0.

asciilifeform: it is on nfs corp, an ancient shared-vm-thing

asciilifeform: no

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: little surprise maybe: thing is on dynamic ip...

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it loads here also fwiw.

asciilifeform: d00d delights in lying by omission also

asciilifeform: lel re oldtimerz reappearing in ruins of #b-a and kako 'helpfully informing' them 'mpex is dead, mp ran with the money'

asciilifeform: they'd neutronbomb it and blame on tongo if they could.

asciilifeform: fewer orcs, fewer problems, eh

asciilifeform: wins wars with printing press

asciilifeform: or ethertards

asciilifeform: so not quite as stupid as , e.g., navy

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hey, us air force dispensing with machinery, moving to theoretical airplane

asciilifeform: 'eat recycled food! it's good for the environment, and ok for you!'

asciilifeform: wai the expensive and brittle theatrical machinery then

asciilifeform: i admit that i still dun fully grasp the theoretical appeal of eth. 'smart contract' on machine-evaluated premises? munchausen bootstrap-flyer ?

asciilifeform: sooo evidently somewhere we had ~3-prime~ key with each of these as factor

asciilifeform: one would still have to be an idiot to knowingly ride, but it is property of the ~system~ of train + rail

asciilifeform: e.g., 'altcoin', had working mechanics. just as train that is on rails to go off a cliff, is not thereby a broken design of train

asciilifeform: death by difficulty-bumping is different item from death by bugatronics

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-24#1573103 << did it ~have~ to be catastrophically buggy? other crackpot alts had mostly working mechanics ☝︎

asciilifeform: i dun have the exact chronology-- the subj is stomach-churning

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-24#1573062 << very very neat ☝︎
